Jan. 2, 2006
In a conference as competitive as the Atlantic Sun winning homes games is a necessity.
The Lipscomb Bisons celebrated the arrival of the New Year with a 70-58 victory over Gardner-Webb Monday afternoon, the preseason pick by both the coaches and the media to win the A-Sun regular season championship.
"You have to win your homes games and you have to play well on the road," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "We have a long way to go. But we have a road win against East Tennessee State giving us two wins against teams picked to win our conference."
With 18 straight conference games on the schedule Sanderson met with each player Friday to discuss the rest of the season.
"We talked with them individually about what they needed to do to help our team," said Sanderson. "Everyone stepped up big for us."
The Bisons quickly fell behind 4-0 prompting Sanderson to call for a 20-second time out at the 18:52 mark. Whatever he said worked as the Bisons, sparked by steals by Eddie Ard and Trey Williams, scored the next six points.
The first half would stay close with the Bisons twice leading by points at 12-7 at 15:26 and 16-11 at 9:56.
With 7:22 left in the half Gardner-Webb capped an 11-2 run with a jump shot by Tim Jennings to take a 22-18 lead. Gardner-Webb held its advantage until the 3:49 mark when Brian Fisk tied the game with a lay-up at 24-24. A 3-point shot by Ard put the Bisons ahead 27-24 with 1:40 left before intermission.
Brian Bender's lay-up at 1:25 cut the Bisons lead to 27-26 at 1:25. Neither team would score again before halftime.
Even though the Bisons held the lead, Sanderson found little to be happy about at halftime and addressed several issues with his players. One of his concerns was Gardner-Webb's 19-17 advantage on the boards.
"I was all over them like a bad habit," said Sanderson. "We had not been out-rebounded by a team all season."
The Bisons, boosted by 3-pointers from Ard and Fisk opened the second half with an 8-3 run in less than two minutes to take a 37-29 lead at 18:10.
Gardner-Webb would pull within one point of the lead three different times, but did not tie or lead the game in the second half. With 12:39 left in the game Chris Gash hit a pair of free throws for Gardner-Webb to trim the Bisons lead to 42-41.
The Bisons responded with an 11-1 run that gave them a 53-42 lead with 8:15 left.
As expected Gardner-Webb kept chipping away, pulling to within three points at 56-53 on a lay-up by Bender at 3:49.
This time the Bisons roared back with a 13-1 run to take a 69-54 lead, their largest of the game with 38 seconds remaining.
The Bisons shot 44.4 percent from the field. Fisk tied his season high in scoring with a game-high 22 points. He had previously scored 22 points in the 73-71 victory at Nicholls State. He was 7-of-14 from the field, 3-of-5 from 3-point range and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. Ard finished with 17 points.
"Brian came off screens and made some very, very tough shots," said Sanderson. "Brian is back in the groove right now and playing very well."
Cameron Robinson and Shaun Durant took over the boards for the Bisons with each one finishing with nine rebounds, a game high.
Sanderson, who expressed concern about his reserves following Thursday's 69-58 loss at Tennessee praised freshmen Kris Alpers and Michael Lusk and senior guard James Poindexter for their play off of the bench against Gardner-Webb.
"I was proud of our bench," said Sanderson. "James came in and made a couple of timely shots. Michael Lusk got a key tip-in. Kris Alpers scored four points in the first half. We got about 40-something minutes out of our bench.
"We only had one player play more than 30 minutes and that was Shaun who played 31 (Fisk played 30). The bench gave us fresher legs down the stretch where we have to execute. Brian doesn't make his points late in the game if he plays 36 minutes."
Four Gardner-Webb players finished in double figures with Bender, Simon Conn and Jennings each scoring 12 points. Gash added 11 off of the bench. Gardner-Webb shot 39.6 percent from the field, well below their average of 43.3 percent.
"Gardner-Webb is a very difficult team to defend in the half-court," said Sanderson. "Everyone of their guys can shoot the ball."
The Bisons are 6-5, 2-1 in the A-Sun. Gardner-Webb is 5-5, 2-1 in the A-Sun.
The Bisons have little time to celebrate. Campbell's Camels will visit Allen Arena Wednesday at 4 p.m. for an A-Sun game.
"Campbell is a very explosive team," said Sanderson. "I have the utmost respect for Campbell because of their effort and energy and play so hard. They didn't win a game in the league last year and the intensity they played at all that season was incredible."

I recently acquired two very useful tools to add to my sewing accessories from Lewis W Davis carpenter. I have the tailor's ham stand and shoulder press stand. I live in the UK and I just cant see these available for sale here, and maybe even Europe, so here is a copy of his advert.
Those of you with a traditional tailors ham might find this made to measure stand a useful accessory. It holds the tailors ham firmly allowing you to use it for pressing sleeve caps etc. and is really solid.
Alternatively the shoulder press stand simulates the shoulder allowing the sleeve to hang down while you press or steam the sleeve cap to the required size and is much safer than my old method of trying to hold the sleeve cap on the tailor's ham with one hand and steaming with the iron with the other (have had a few accidents I can tell you).
Last but not least the multi-functional stand that doubles up for the collar press or sleeve head stand - great space saver as this is a two-in-one gadget.
I am delighted with my new accessories if you are interested then please contact Lewis at
email@example.com I believe he will ship outside the UK but I guess you would have to ask for P&P costs.

As I mentioned yesterday I was crocheting a Bunny. Well I managed to finish it today. I cant believe I did as we have had a jam packed day. We had kindy gym then I had to take Ruby for her 18 month check, then take her back to the clinic for her injections and then we had mothers group for our fortnightly catch up which I love. Needless to say Ruby is now sleeping hard.
But Bunny has come along with us all day, but stayed in the car. I am so pleased with it as it is my first big crochet toy. Ruby keeps kissing it which is lovely, I think I might make the small one too. I fllowed the pattern from this book. I have taken a few too many photo's of it, here she is.
I used a matching floral in the ears and I think it makes it look a bit nicer, the pattern called for felt.
With my new crochet purse which was the best thing ever. everything I need is in there now.
Now what next to make, I have the crochet bug.

While Advanced Message Processing (XEP-0079) [1] provides message acknowledgements at the server level, it does not extend that model all the way to the client. [2] However, sometimes client-level acknowledgements are needed, for example to provide "receipts". This document defines a mechanism for XMPP message delivery receipts, which are functionally equivalent to the "delivered" or "displayed" event in Message Events (XEP-0022) [3], which this specification in part obsoletes.
Note well that this specification does not distinguish between delivery and display, as was done in the message events protocol, in part because no implementations of XEP-0022 made that distinction. However, in the absence of such a distinction, readers need to understand that this protocol can provide only a notification that a message has been received at a client, i.e. delivered to a client, not that the message has been actively read or understood by a human user (if any). Therefore this extension is functionally equivalent to an Advanced Message Processing rule of "receipt", although it uses a dedicated namespace to simplify processing by clients and intermediate routers.
This document addresses the following requirements:
The term "content message" refers to the stanza for which the original sender would like to receive a receipt.
The term "ack message" refers to the stanza by which the recipient acknowledges receipt of the content message at a client (i.e., delivery to a client).
This document defines a protocol that enables a sender to ask the recipient to acknowledge receipt of a content message by returning an ack message. Although the return of an ack message lets the sender know that the content message has been delivered to a client controlled by the intended recipient, there are many reasons why the sender might not receive an ack message immediately or at all, including but not limited to the following:
Because of these significant limitations, this protocol does not provide complete or even partial reliability or guaranteed delivery. Therefore, the sender SHOULD NOT impute any meaning to the fact that it has not received an ack message, unless it has established with the recipient that receipt requests will be honored; however, methods for doing so are out of scope for this specification and it is NOT RECOMMENDED to take any particular action (such as resending the content message) without such methods. [4]
Because it is possible for a given content message to be delivered to multiple XMPP resources controlled by the recipient, the sender of the content message needs to be prepared to receive multiple ack messages.
Finally, this protocol does not enable the sender to know that the intended recipient has read the message or understood the message (if the intended recipient is a human being), that the intended recipient has processed the message (if the intended recipient is a bot or other automated system), that an end user client has presented the message to a human user (if any), etc. This protocol provides delivery receipts only, not notifications about presentation, processing, reading, understanding, or any other action related to a message other than delivery to a client of some kind.
A sender could request receipts on any non-error content message (chat, groupchat, headline, or normal) no matter if the recipient's address is a bare JID <firstname.lastname@example.com> or a full JID <email@example.com/resource>. Whether it is appropriate or advisable to do so it another question. This section provides recommendations about when and when not to request receipts, and what results to expect in each scenario.
If the sender knows only the recipient's bare JID, it cannot determine (via Service Discovery (XEP-0030) [5] or Entity Capabilities (XEP-0115) [6]) whether the intended recipient supports the Message Delivery Receipts protocol. In this case, the sender MAY request a receipt when sending a content message of type "chat", "headline", or "normal" to the recipient's bare JID. However, the sender MUST NOT depend on receiving an ack message in reply.
If the sender knows a full JID for the recipient (e.g., via presence), it SHOULD attempt to determine (via service disco or entity capabilities) whether the client at that full JID supports the Message Delivery Receipts protocol before attempting to request receipts.
If the sender determines that the recipient's client does not support the Message Delivery Receipts protocol then it SHOULD NOT request a receipt when sending a content message to that full JID and MUST NOT depend on receiving an ack message.
If the sender determines that the recipient's client supports the Message Delivery Receipts protocol then it MAY request a receipt when sending a content message of type "chat", "headline", or "normal" to that full JID. However, even in this case the sender SHOULD NOT depend on receiving an ack message.
It is NOT RECOMMENDED to request a receipt when sending a content message of type "groupchat" in a Multi-User Chat (XEP-0045) [7] room because the logic for determining when a content message is truly "received" by all of the room occupants is complex, and because the sender would receive one ack message from each occupant of the room, thus significantly increasing the number of stanzas sent through the room.
To prevent looping, an entity MUST NOT include a receipt request (i.e., the <request/> element) in an ack message (i.e., a message stanza that includes the <received/> element).
An entity MUST NOT send an ack message when a user views messages that have been archived or stored on the client or the server (e.g., via Message Archiving (XEP-0136) [8]), only when first receiving the message.
If an entity supports the Message Delivery Receipts protocol, it MUST report that by including a Service Discovery (XEP-0030) [5] feature of "urn:xmpp:receipts" in response to disco#info requests:
<iq email@example.com/westminster' id='disco1' firstname.lastname@example.com/throne' type='get'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/> </iq>
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/throne' id='disco1' email@example.com/westminster' type='result'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'> <feature var='urn:xmpp:receipts'/> </query> </iq>
Support can also be determined via Entity Capabilities (XEP-0115) [6], a.k.a. "caps".
In order to make it possible for senders to request and for recipients to generate message delivery receipts, we define a dedicated protocol extension qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:receipts' namespace.
There are two allowable elements in this namespace:
Specifically, the receiving entity shall return an ack message containing the <received/> extension if the content message has been delivered to a client controlled by the intended recipient. In general, a client will return a receipt only if the client has processed the content message (e.g., if the client has presented the content message to a human user or has completed any automated processing of the content message, such as generation of an error response if the application determines that the content message cannot be handled). However, the Message Delivery Receipts protocol does not provide notification that a human user has read or understood the content message, that an automated system has completed processed or acted upon the message, etc.
The following is an example of a content message that includes a request for return receipt.
<message firstname.lastname@example.com/westminster' id='richard2-4.1.247' email@example.com/throne'> <body>My lord, dispatch; read o'er these articles.</body> <request xmlns='urn:xmpp:receipts'/> </message>
Note: A sender MUST include an 'id' attribute on every content message that requests a receipt, so that the sender can properly track ack messages.
The recipient shall generate an ack message if and only if:
Otherwise it MUST NOT return a receipt and SHOULD NOT return an error.
<message email@example.com/throne' id='bi29sg183b4v' email@example.com/westminster'> <received xmlns='urn:xmpp:receipts' id='richard2-4.1.247'/> </message>
When the recipient sends an ack message, it SHOULD ensure that the message stanza contains only one child element, namely the <received/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:receipts' namespace. In addition, it SHOULD include an 'id' attribute that echoes the 'id' attribute of the content message. Naturally, intermediate entities might add other extension elements to the message when routing or delivering the receipt message, e.g., a <delay/> element as specified in Delayed Delivery (XEP-0203) [9].
It is possible for a recipient to leak its presence when returning message delivery receipts; therefore, a recipient SHOULD NOT return message delivery receipts to senders who are not otherwise authorized to view its presence.
No interaction with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [10] is necessary as a result of this document.
The XMPP Registrar [11] includes "urn:xmpp:receipts" in its registry of protocol namespaces (see <https://xmpp.org/registrar/namespaces.html>).

Connecting with your Crystal
Welcome your new crystal into your home by setting aside a little one on one time for just the two of you! Sit with your crystal and feel its energy opening and connecting with your heart center. Find a special place to keep your crystal where you will see it often and be able to connect with it. Working with Crystals for Crystal Healing is a fun, easy way to elevate your personal energy and deepen your connection with Mother Earth. Each Crystal is unique and offers its own special gifts. See our Crystal Definitions page for more info on specific crystal types.
How to Activate your Crystal
Crystals love to work with a purpose! In general, they are already "Turned On" and busy doing their own thing: Elevating Energies and pumping out Good Vibes! This is their natural state. We can tap into these elevated energies and combine forces by working with our crystals to expand and elevate our own energies and to connect with our highest self. This is done through activation and will set a field of expanded energies that will help us in our daily lives as we practice and deepen this connection with our crystalline friends.
To begin an activation, clear your mind and sit quietly with your crystal. Connect with your heart center and through your heart center connect with the crystal you are holding. This crystal is sharing its love and light with you, as you share your love and light with your crystal.
Think of activation as the growing and expansion of energy layers. The first activation establishes a connection between the crystal and the user, creating the first layer. These layers continue to grow, for both ourselves and the crystal, as we continue to connect. This energy field becomes more stable over time as we continue to connect and reconnect.
Cleansing your Crystal
Stones of all kinds are energetically alive. Crystals and Gemstones carry their own vibrations and can be influenced by subtle energies and/or thoughts and actions taking place around them. Crystals also have the ability to be cleansed of influences that have touched them before or after they have come to you. When gemstones are energetically cleansed they are cleared of all energies other than their own, and until they are used again in ritual or meditation, they will generally remain cleared. For some people, it is important to cleanse, wash and purify their gemstones and crystals before using them. For others it is not. This is really a personal preference, one that you may feel into on an individual basis.
Feel into your crystal when you first receive it. How does it feel? Does it feel yummy and scrumptious; is it a pure delight? Then maybe it doesn't need cleared at all. But, if you feel guided to make this new gemstone truly a piece of your own, and perhaps also to have a special bonding session with your new crystalline friend, then cleansing your crystals should be easy and fun. Below are a few ideas for consideration, but you may be inspired by something entirely different! The key is to have an open heart and to connect with your crystals just as you would with any person or spirit guide.
Listed below is one of our favorite methods. For a more exhaustive list of possibilities, see our Crystal Cleansing Guide.
Cleansing your crystals with the method of energy and intention:
Hold your crystal with the intention of Pure Love & Light enfolding it. Feel yourself and your crystal being surrounded within a sphere of very supportive white or golden light energy. (You may also play with different colors, if you enjoy color healing!) Begin to feel Cosmic Love and Source Energy flowing throughout your body and directly into your crystal. Stay within this protective sphere for as long as you feel guided. This is also an excellent way to begin any meditation.

Here's the skinny on a unique Mount Lebanon Village Intergenerational Games set for Saturday, August 14 at Mount Lebanon Park and the Cedar Blvd fields. The softball games will be using the 16" leather Chicago Softball! Should be a gas!
This summer, there is a new game in Lebo town -the Mount Lebanon Village Intergenerational Games being held on Saturday, August 14, 2010, 9am-2pm in Mount Lebanon Park. Mount Lebanon Village (MLV) is a community oriented, non-profit organization established in 2009 to give residents of Mount Lebanon 50 years and older the practical means, confidence and peace of mind to enjoy life in their own place of residence and in an environment they value as they grow older.
The MLV Games present a way to get to know our neighbors, to enjoy a day of playing together and to celebrate our common bonds. The Village Games are designed to bring together old friends and new acquaintances, pairing people of different ages and generations. The idea is to partner adults over 50 with someone under 50. The pairings could be with a son, daughter, grandchild, friend or neighbor – or maybe even some husband and wife teams! Partners will spend the day participating together in the activities of their choice. It will be a fun packed day of gently competitive team sports, individual pursuits and group games, followed by a picnic and prizes. Participants will be given a chance to win prizes for every event in which they partake.
The Village Games will open with a 9am "Chase Your Elders" one mile fun run/walk in Mount Lebanon Park where older folks start first, followed by a staggered progression by their younger partners so that all may finish at about the same time.
From 10am-1pm in Mount Lebanon Park, choose from a wide variety of friendly co-ed, intergenerational team sports including volleyball, softball, soccer, basketball, tennis & bocce as well as measure your athletic skills in a 50 yard dash, punt, pass and kick, free throws, target toss & radar gun stations, plus enjoy old fashioned games like a treasure hunt, relay races, water balloon toss, horseshoes, shuffleboard, hula hoops , scrabble, checkers & chess. You can also engage in creative activities such as an inter-active story-telling session led by the Pittsburgh Wing and a Prayer Interplay Troupe.
Beginning at noon, enjoy an old fashioned picnic provided by Pittsburgh Barbeque at the Mount Lebanon Tennis Center Founder's Room and Deck. Enjoy delicious food to live music. Ted Sohier of WQED will be picnic MC and prizes will be drawn throughout.

Talking About Terrorism
Muslims are more likely to see Al Qaeda as Islamic because it kills Americans, regardless of what the official representatives of the Americans call that killing. The reasons for this are to be found in the militant roots and practice of their religion. And the Americans who get to die, but do not get a vote on how their deaths will be described, know that Al Qaeda is a Muslim terrorist group. Only in the realm of the expert bubble is it thought that changing words can change how favorably Muslims will view the killers of Americans and how Americans will identify or misidentify their killers.
Largely though the denial is not well meaning. To the left, Muslim terrorism runs the gamut from being a distraction to a call for reforming American foreign policy. After Obama won two elections, the liberal has trouble figuring out what more reforms need to be passed and complains that all this terrorism is a distraction from truly important issues like Global Warming and school budgets, while the avowed leftist goes Full Greenwald and rants about drone holocausts in Pakistan.
After the Arab Spring, the withdrawal from Iraq and the coming withdrawal from Afghanistan, and Obama deftly maneuvering into a pro-Hamas position on Israel; it's hard to see what else America can or should do to appease the Jihad. The left will always have its checklist, but even Obama knows that no matter what he says or does, the drones will have to keep flying because it decreases the chances of a major terrorist attack that will force the country into taking a much more aggressive posture against Islamic terrorism.
The new low-intensity conflict is big on things we don't talk about. We don't talk about the drones and we don't talk about the terrorists we are fighting. Instead we talk about how great Islam is.
Talking about how great Islam is and not talking about terrorism is an old hobby for America. We've been at it since September 11 and no matter how many interfaith meetings have been held and how often we talk about how much we have in common, the bombs still keeping showing up.
All the projects for Muslim self-esteem, from world tours of Muslim Hip-Hop groups to NASA being turned into a Muslim self-esteem laboratory, seem like bad refugees from failed 70s solutions to crime. All that's left is to hold midnight basketball events across the Middle East and call for prison reform and we might as well be back in the worst days of the liberal war for crime. The problem is not that Muslim terrorists don't love themselves enough... it's that they love themselves too much.
Islamism is not caused by poor self-esteem, but by a lack of humility. Americans are often told that they are not good enough to tell the rest of the world what to do. But Islamists are never told that at all. Instead they are told by their own religious leaders that their way is superior and ought to be imposed on everyone and they are told by our leaders that their way is superior but should only be imposed on everyone after a democratic election.
It's not too shocking that the Islamists decide to impose their way, with or without elections. If the AP or CNN truly wanted to push back against Islamist violence, instead of censoring the Islamic part in the vain hope that their followers might not then identify the Muslim Brotherhood or the Islamic Jihad with Islam, they would challenge their premises by telling the truth about Islamism and Islam.
Instead the official dialogue sanction by the media and the government is to praise Islam and Islamic law while disavowing forcible attempts at imposing them on the unwilling through violence. And that's a weak intellectual strategy.
If Islam really means peace, freedom and justice, as the Islamists and the talking heads both agree, then why not impose it by force? The left celebrates progressive terrorists like Angela Davis because it agrees with their ends, even if it occasionally quibbles over their means. If Bill Ayers was virtuous for wanting peace, freedom and justice, at the cost of a few million dead, names to be delivered later, why aren't Osama and Morsi equally virtuous for wanting the same thing with an Arabic accent?
The left claimed that the Weather Underground were the new American revolutionaries. Islamists routinely tell American audiences that their terrorists are freedom fighters, just like George Washington. And if Islam really is the best way of life there is and if those living under it enjoy a superior standard of freedom and justice; then aren't they?
The government-media consensus assumes that the best way to defeat Islamist terrorists is to praise their ends and condemn their means. This moral confusion led to the Arab Spring in which Islamist terrorists ran for office, disavowed violence, at least until after the election, and took over countries to begin a program of imposing Islamic rule. And the government-media complex is still struggling to figure out why all of that is wrong. It can't find a way of articulating why Islamic rule is wrong without criticizing Islam. And without criticizing Islam, there is no reason to criticize Islamic rule.
Criticizing terror as a means while approving of its ends leads to absurdity. Condemn a bombing carried out by Islamists and their defenders point you to American drones, to Israeli planes, to Hiroshima and the American Revolution. A violent act cannot be critiqued in isolation. Ideology is the context for acts of violence. It is what distinguishes the Battle of Britain from the bombing of Dresden. It is what distinguished the American ICBMs from the Soviet ICBMs.
Condemn terrorists for being cowardly and up pops a Bill Maher to argue that the September 11 hijackers were actually courageous for committing suicide while killing thousands of people. We are the real cowards for bombing terrorists from thousands of feet in the air, he will tell you. Talk about terrorists killing innocent people, and a Glenn Greenwald will pop up to read you the, mostly, fictitious civilian casualty counts from drone strikes on terrorists.
All this can be argued ad naseum and the argument can eventually be won, but it misses the bigger story which is the ideological context of the violence. Arguing over tactics only takes you so far because the tactics express the ideology.
Suicide bombing is not strategically effective. It is bad strategy, but good terror. Suicide bombing sends a message that the killers transcend materialism and that they care nothing for their lives. Like the Japanese Kamikazes, this is largely a pose, a selectively manufactured propaganda effort, but it emerges out of a religious worldview that began with Mohammed's original conquests and the notions of martyrdom that rewarded the raiders who would die before ever getting their hands on loot and women in the real world, with materially spiritual versions of those same pleasures in paradise.
The calculated murder of civilians similarly arises from how Islam views non-Muslims. The use of women and children as human shields must be seen in the Islamic context in which their lives are viewed as having less value than those of a Muslim man. And the entire conflict, in the Islamic context, is not over American foreign policy, a notion that is as alien to the Islamic worldview of an eternal conflict between the Dar-al-Islam and the Dar-al-Harb as chivalry, but a continuation of a divine mission to conquer and subjugate the world under the rule of Islam.
Talking about Islamic terror without talking about Islam is as futile as talking about Nazi Germany only in terms of the outcome of WW1. While that defeat and the subsequent territorial humiliation were obvious factors, the insistence of the media and the experts in talking about the Nazi Party only in terms of British and French foreign policy and refusing to understand that its members really did believe in racial superiority and a program of conquest helped contribute to a disastrous world war and the deaths of millions. Similarly pretending that Islamism is a reaction to foreign policy, instead of a campaign of theocracy and conquest, has already caused countless deaths and will cause countless more.
Islamic terror without Islam is a strategy. It leads to talk of a War on Terror and to counterclaims that one cannot fight a strategy. Strategies can indeed be a fought, but the best way to fight them is to understand that they do not exist in a vacuum. We are not at war with a strategy, but with those who employ it because it aligns with their religio-political goals. And pretending otherwise in the vain hope of convincing a region where terror is almost as old as the sand that Islam is not compatible with terrorism, because the Saudi tyrants who fund most of the terrorism have told us that denial is a winning strategy, is as criminally foolish as anything that the leaders of free Europe did in the 1930s.
Censoring Islamic terrorism or Islamism, exchanging terrorists for militants, or any of the other Orwellian linguistic gimmicks that the experts are preoccupied with will not stop the next dozen recruits from joining Al Qaeda. Nor is it a particularly successful way of convincing Americans that the people shouting Allah Akbar and shooting at them are not Muslims, but, as Nidal Hasan was labeled, perpetrators of workplace violence.
Euphemisms impress experts who, like the administrators of Oceania, believe that language transforms human experience. In reality language is reshaped by human experience. That is why euphemisms invariably revert in common usage to meaning the thing that they are trying not to be. The only people fooled by word games are the ones who turn them out for a living and the people who pay good money to attend the seminars at which the next word game is presented as a revelation that will transform the way we do everything.
If the media would truly like to take a shot at dissuading Muslims in America from joining Al Qaeda, then instead of playing childish word games that depend on the assumption that their audience won't know that Al Qaeda is Islamist if they don't call it that, it should challenge the underlying assumption of Islamism that the Islamic way of life is better than the American way of life. And even a brief look at sexism, racism and injustice in the Muslim world is enough to do that.
If Islamic law is better then why are the people who live in countries run by it so unhappy? If Islam really protects the rights of all, then why are minority populations so repressed that they begin to vanish entirely when Islamic law is implemented? If Islamic law is intolerant of corruption and injustice then why is the Muslim world, including countries under heavy varieties of Islamic law, so notoriously corrupt?
To understand Islamic terrorism, we must recognize that it is an expression of an ideology that uses violence and terror as the means of rule. That is true even when a group such as the Muslim Brotherhood officially disavows its violent past and runs in democratic elections. In other words, to understand Islamic terror... we must understand Islam.
American denial of the Islamic nature of Islamic terrorism is not a propaganda victory, but an ignorant pursuit of ignorance that refuses to deal with the problem and instead takes refuge in advocating the ends of Islamic terror while refusing to acknowledge that the ends are also the means. The Islamic system is built on terror and oppression. Its ends are terror and oppression and so its means are terror and oppression. To advocate the ends of terror is to also advocate their means.

Finally, in writing my experience as a 6-year-old!
When I started 1st grade way back in 1963, one of the first things I learned (not from the teacher) was that the worst insult was to be called "retarded". I'm not sure if it was in high school or college that I finally realized that "retarded" was a technical term with origins in physics meaning "slowed down" and that it was actually a euphemism! (Maybe I am a bit slow.)

I had been reading about the AP stylebook changing meanings about Islam. It is ignorant, but then nothing the liberals do is intelligent or makes sense. It is also ignorant and a severe miscarriage of justice to let that Fort Hood murderer still not be brought to trial and executed in public. And to have an argument and delay over whether he can have a beard? He needs to be dragged out and shot. It amazes me that no one in government has cared to learn that you can't reason with these fanatics or change their minds about anything.

Islam is not monolithic any more than Christianity or Judaism are. America is not at war with Islam. It is at war with the House of Saud-Wahhab, which seeks to re-establish the Caliphate. Washington has chosen which side it is on. Saudi contributions and/or promises of future considerations have ensured that. It is time to replace the personal treaty between the House of Saud and the CIA, brokered by then-director George H. W. Bush in 1973. It is time to de-Wahhabify Arabia, just as Germany was de-Nazified after WWII.

The one saving grace about radical genocidal social scientists is that you can actually make an attempt to highlight their case in practice. We should work with them to construct Islamic Autonomous Regions in the West as perfect models of everything the radicals tells us is necessary and good and noble. Turn over Deerborn, St Louis or East London or whatnot to Sharia courts run by the most insane backwards glint eyed fanatics you can find. Throw out all civil law and civic practice and municipal services. Wait a while and when Soledad O'Brien or Chris Matthews or 60 Minutes does a show on the ground of al-Potemkin Village-iastan about how great it is, drop them off, drive away in the vans and let them live there forever.

Until it's OK (as in you don't suffer any real consequences) to publicly compare religions and cultures and draw conclusion about how good or bad they are, nothing will change. The "beauty" of multiculturalism is that you can declare any criticism you want to shut down to be bigotry. Well, there are evil religions and horrible cultures. Either you can debate that or you can't. The first amendment is the key to everything else.

The religion now called Islam is more properly called Mohammedanism. A religion takes on the character of its founder. Mohammed concocted his own religion out of pride (lack of humility) and anger. His goal was to best (one-upmanship) and conquer Judaism and Christianity. For one thing, he didn't like the sexual constraints of Judeo-Christianity and the whole repentance, forgiveness business. Even today, Mohammedanism reflects and reproduces Mohammed, the warlord, the pedophile, hedonist, racist, rapist, angry male - the anti-God/anti-Christ, the natural fallen nature of humanity at its worst.

The newscasters think they are telling me about the world, when if fact they are telling me about their world view. It is nuanced and those who do not have much exposure to thinking are easily fooled. Refusing to identify something for what it is experienced to be, is to put those who are ignorant in danger. If a parent taught a child, like the news informs us, they would be accused of neglect and child endangerment.

As you put it, they don't care what they're called; Islamic terrorist, jihadist, or whatever. The only freedom they regard at all valid is their sanctions to express hate and commit murder, as Muhammed "PBUH" willed from the mid-7th Century.
Note: "Express hate, not offer opinion, and commit murder, not second degree manslaughter - murder; with "full consent" of their wills.

Nov. 13, 2007
Senior forward Ben Page earned Atlantic Sun First Team All-Conference honors and freshman forward Miguel DaSilva earned both Second Team All-Conference and All-Freshman Team honors. DaSilva was a unanimous selection for the All-Freshman Team.
The awards were announced Tuesday afternoon by the Atlantic Sun Conference office. Players were selected by votes of both conference coaches and sports information directors.
The Bisons, the No. 4, play Belmont, the No. 5 seed today in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament at Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.
Page, from Woodstock, Ga., is the first ever Lipscomb player to earn First Team All-Conference honors. He was a preseason All-Conference selection this season and was a two-time All-Conference Second Team Selection.
Page tied for first in the A-Sun in assists in a game with two against Georgia State Sept. 9, 2007. He broke his own school record for shots in a season with 63 and was second in the A-Sun in both shots (63) and shots per game (3.71).
Page is second on the team in points with 14. He was named the Offensive MVP at South Carolina's Gamecock Classic He was also named to All-Tournament Teams the at Bradley Holiday Inn City Centre Classic and the South Carolina-Tennessee Challenge Classic.
"This was a long time coming for Ben," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "He probably should have been on the first team last year.
"It's good to have some success for guys like Ben who have put a lot into this program. Ben has been through the lowest of the lows and has really helped us turn things around."
DaSilva, from Lauderhill, Fla., set new school records for both goals in a season with nine and points in a season with 18. He is ranked 48th nationally in goals per game with .50.
He is tied for second for most points in an A-Sun game with six (three goals) at Stetson Oct. 21, 2007 and is also tied for season-high in goals in an A-Sun game with three in the Stetson game.
DaSilva is third in the A-Sun in goals (nine) and tied for third in goals per game (.50). He is fifth in points in the A-Sun (18) and tied for fifth in points per game (1.00)
"We think this is just a drop in the bucket for what Miguel is going to do," Morrow said. "Having him here gives legitimacy to the program. You talk to coaches in and out of our region and everybody knows who he is."
Morrow thinks that Page and DaSilva form one of the top forwards combinations in the A-Sun. DaSilva and Page have combined for 14 goals this season.
"I don't know if either one of our forwards would qualify as the best forward in the conference, but as far as the combination goes they are one of the top two duos," Morrow said. "Jacksonville's forwards also are very, very good. I don't want to take anything away from them."

Saddle the Horses
Puzzle promoter Sam Loyd invented "Saddle the
Horse" in 1872. Loyd sold the concept to P.T. Barnum (of Barnum and
Bailey circus fame), who handed out millions of them to circus-goers
under the name "P.T. Barnum's Trick Mules."
It has since taken on many variations, from clowns on donkeys to
witches on black cats, and has delighted generations of puzzle lovers
around the world.
The solution is shown in the figures. Please note that the pieces are
shown in their orientation that clearly shows the puzzle's idea.
Different parts of the cards now form two new galloping horses. In the
bottom drawing we outlined with the red lines these two new horses
with their riders. What a race!

There might be one technical hiccup for those trying to sign up for Obamacare this weekend, but it won't be the fault of HealthCare.gov this time.
The Social Security Administration is conducting routine maintenance to its systems starting at 3 p.m. Eastern on Saturday through 5 a.m. Tuesday. As a result, those applying for coverage via the federal exchange will find they won't be able to have their Social Security numbers and other related data verified.
Usually, that would just mean prospective applicants would have to wait a few days to get that data verified, but for those wanting to be covered by March 1, it could create a few headaches. The normal deadline to enroll in order to be covered by that date would be Feb. 15, so those who want to complete that online would have to jump on their computers tonight or tomorrow morning.
Health and Human Services officials, however, say consumers who can't meet the deadline can phone in on Tuesday when the Social Security data banks are functioning again and they will try to work to get them covered by March 1. The phone number is 1-800-318-2596. They added that operators will be manning phones through the weekend to assist on other issues, and that HealthCare.gov's other functions will be working.
One reminder: The absolute final deadline to enroll for coverage for this year to avoid tax penalties imposed under the Affordable Care Act is March 31.

Revolution. I feel such resistance towards it. Why?
I feel fear, I get tense, I feel like I have to find the right, proper words and expressions that wouldn't offend anybody, so that my revolutionary self wouldn't get criticized. But that's not revolutionary at all. How come I feel like I have to protect myself and guard myself when I try to let my revolutionary self speak?
I have been always cautious not to offend anybody: Don't offend anybody. Read the air. Read the atmosphere. Read other people's minds. Keep the harmony. Don't stick out. Tie your hair. Wear your uniform. (The ruler in the teacher's hand that measured the length of the hem of my skirt.)
Keep your head down. Don't speak up when your grandma speaks; she doesn't want to be bothered by little kids; you have no right to speak up at the dinner table, you should just listen and nod quietly.
My mom told me she regretted that she didn't let me speak up at the dinner table.
"Why didn't I let you speak up? You were little and you had so many original, creative, incredible things to say, and I forced you to shut yourself up, because I feared your grandmother. I didn't want to upset her. But who cares? Why didn't I let you speak up? I should've let you speak up. I should've told your grandmother, 'Excuse me, but now my daughter is speaking, could you shut your mouth and listen to her, please?'"
Why have I been silent? Why did I not say anything? What for? What was I afraid of? Where has been my revolutionary self? Why has she been so silent? Why has she been hiding? Why was she smiling, when she wasn't smiling at all inside? Why did I keep silent?
My grandma's dead. Then my mom's dead. The teachers are gone. My father is old. What am I afraid of? Why do I have to keep my head down?
Where's my revolutionary self — that wants to scream? That wants to stand up. That wants to walk ahead. That wants to turn the light on. That wants to pour the water and wash it all out. That wants to swipe it all. That wants to open her eyes and look them straight into the eyes.
Where is she? She is here. She has been hiding way too long. And she says: "Basta. I've had enough." I've been listening and listening and listening and not saying anything. Nodding. Smiling. "Yes, yes." "Sì, sì." "Ho capito." "Hai ragione." "Sugoi desune."
How wonderful! Basta, basta. I have something to say, too. I have a lot to say. I want to speak up. In any language. In Japanese. In my dialect. In English. In Italiano. Whatever.
I learned and learned and learned the languages; now I should actually use them. Stop nodding. Say something. Just say it. Say it loud. Don't be silent.
I'm alive now. I won't be alive forever. Death is certain, but the time of death is uncertain. I've got to say something.
Let us speak. Let us all speak. Let my sister speak, who is so afraid to speak. Let my friend speak, with her voice that is so free when she's speaking to me. We have been speaking behind the walls. In the tiny Skype windows. In the car, when we were sure nobody was listening. In the kitchen, when the kids and the husband were not there. Behind the closed door, after we made sure it was locked, looking at the clock.
Let us be free from the darkness, the dense air that doesn't circulate, the bad lighting, and the cold floor. Let us open the windows, unlock the door, turn the knob and open wide the door, let the air come in, let us swim in the sunshine. Let us say it all out loud. Let us show who we are.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actress Lea Michele, in her first public appearance since the death of her boyfriend and cast mate Cory Monteith, dedicated her Teen Choice Award on Sunday in Los Angeles to the actor who died of an accidental drug and alcohol overdose last month.
With tears in her eyes and her hand on her chest, Michele, 26, thanked fans for the best actress in a TV comedy award for her role as Rachel Berry in the musical series "Glee" and for their support in dealing with Monteith's death.
"He was very special to me and also to the world, and we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile and his beautiful, beautiful heart," she told the audience at the Gibson Amphitheatre.
Monteith, 31, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13. The actor, who played high school athlete turned glee club singer Finn Hudson in the Fox musical comedy, had struggled with substance abuse and was in rehab in April.
His death forced Fox to push back the start of the show's fifth season, which will address Monteith's death, by a week to September 26.
Earlier in the Teen Choice Awards other members of the "Glee" cast accepted the award for best TV comedy show.
