Sailor Professional Gear Demonstrator Fountain Pen, Chrome, 11-9237-400
it's a great pen..I just bought another Aurora few days ago..thanks a lot Ted
I have had this watch for a week now and love it. It is a large, heavy watch so if you have a small wrist you may wish to reconsider. The finish and overall appearance, to my eye, is better than the photos. The textured aqua dial, polar ice-inspired , is the eye catching feature. I must have had 10 comments from people already. In summary, it is a beautiful watch that looks like it should for the price. Impeccable fit and finish, perfect function and packaging worthy of a premium product. Only 200 to be made - I'm glad I secured one!
I usually don't like ballpoints but this was so beautiful. I LOVE it and would like to purchase another one.
Haven't used it yet, but it certainly looks nice!
Love it
Excellent customer service. Very Fast International Shipping. Iguana Sell is very reliable and friendly. The pen is a beautiful matte black, the piston filler operates smoothly, the cap posts securely, it is light and balanced in the hand, the Italic nib looks amazing and writes well, just a little bit of feedback but not scratchy at all, extremely smooth when rotated and writing in cursive. Thank you Iguana Sell for all of your help.
This is a work of art! And it writes beautifully!
The M200 pastel green is a classy addition to Pelikan's line. Fabulous customer service from IguanaSell during these challenging times (due to Covid) make this purchase a very positive experience.
Beautiful color—back with Iguana's great customer service!
Iguana Sell kept us informed, shipped the item quickly and it was exactly as described.

The best ink on the market for these three colours.
Love the pen.
We will contact you in 1 or 2 working days.
The watch arrived within a week of ordering. Tracking was excellent. The plaque inside the box doesn't say Special Edition. Apart from this the overall experience is amazing.
Good packaging & presentation box.
The watch itself is absolutely stunning, the attention to detail at the bracelet and watch is superb. Every detail of the watch is finished with perfection in mind.
The price is right and the service good.
This nib is worth the price premium. Check out my full review here: https://ukfountainpens.com/2020/06/28/is-a-sailor-special-nib-worth-it-hands-on-with-the-naginata-cross-concord/
If you are looking for a top quality Flieger Watch with a Swiss Automatic Movement, Sapphire Crystal, Great Dial in terms of Legibility, Lume and a black background Date Configuration at 6 o'clock + "Made in Germany". But! You don't want to break the bank in terms of the cost, then look no further for this is the watch for you.
The quality of this watch is superb but the value for money is insane especially when purchased in conjunction with Iguanasell's 18% voucher code for signed up members. I've only had the watch a few weeks now but it is already a firm favourite in fact I'm seriously tempted to pick up it's Beige Dialled sister watch (the 5156-5) too......
P.S. The buying experience through Iguanasell was top notch with super fast courier shipping to the UK (delivery was within a couple of days) and I would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Obama on Monday said he would ask the U.S. Congress for US$1.3 billion per year in military aid for Egypt and said he would lift holds on aircraft, missiles and tanks for Cairo in place since October 2013, the White House said in a statement.
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama on Monday said he would ask the U.S. Congress for US$1.3 billion per year in military aid for Egypt and said he would lift holds on aircraft, missiles and tanks for Cairo in place since October 2013, the White House said in a statement.
Obama also said that the United States would discontinue starting in fiscal 2018 Egypt's use of cash flow financing, a financial mechanism that allows Egypt to buy equipment on credit, the White House said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is releasing military aid to Egypt that was suspended after the 2013 coup in that country.
The White House says Obama is lifting the hold on sending F-16 fighter jets, tanks and other material to Egypt. The U.S. has been weighing whether to lift the hold to help combat the extremist threat spilling over from Libya and in the Sinai Peninsula.
But the White House says it is not issuing a certification that Egypt has made progress toward democracy. Instead, the U.S. is maintaining that the aid is in the interest of U.S. national security.
The U.S. had to do one or the other to unblock the aid. The funds were suspended 21 months ago when the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Abbas Wants Arabs to Bomb Gaza Strip?!?!?!?
Video - Abbas's Advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash in Friday Sermon: Like Houthis, Hamas Should Face an Iron Fist
Apparently, it's true.
From the Gatestone Institute:
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is calling on Arab countries to launch a military strike against the Gaza Strip -- even as the PA plans to bring "war crimes" charges against Israel for doing exactly the same thing in the summer of 2014.
The Arabs are allowed to attack the Gaza strip to remove Hamas from power, while Israel is not even allowed to launch airstrikes at those who are firing rockets at its cities. The PA's call should be brought to the attention of the International Criminal Court if and when Abbas proceeds with his plan to file "war crimes" charges against Israel for its war against Hamas.
This call should also be brought to the attention of Western governments and international human rights organizations that condemned Israel during Operation Protective Edge. They also need to ask Abbas whether he also plans to file "war crimes" charges against his Arab brethren once they start bombing the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Authority (PA), whose leaders say they are planning to file "war crimes" charges against Israel over its last war with Hamas, is now calling on Arab countries to launch a military strike against the Gaza Strip, similar to the Saudi-led campaign against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.
The call to launch an Arab military strike against the Gaza Strip was made by Mahmoud Habbash, a senior advisor to PA President Mahmoud Abbas. Commenting on the Saudi-led military operations in Yemen, Habbash, who also holds the post of Chief Islamic Judge, said in a Friday sermon at a mosque in Ramallah:
"Protecting legitimacy in an Arab country is a duty of all Arab leaders. They must take the initiative to strike with an iron fist against those who come out against legitimacy, regardless of the time and place, starting from Palestine. What happened in the Gaza Strip was a [Hamas] coup. There should be no dialogue with those behind the coup and they must be hit with an iron fist."
The following day, Abbas himself hinted that he too would like to see the Arab states launch a military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Addressing the 26th Arab League Summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheikh, Abbas declared: "I hope the Arab states carry out the same policy that they are in Yemen in the case of all Arab nations that suffer from internal conflicts -- such as Palestine, Syria, Libya and Iraq."
When Israel launched Operation Protective Edge in the summer of last year in response to the firing of rockets at Israeli cities, the Palestinian Authority and its leaders, including Abbas, were quick to condemn Israelis for allegedly perpetrating "war crimes" against Palestinians.
Muslim groups attack Egyptian Copts over church honoring Christians killed by ISIS
Muslim groups attack Egyptian Copts over church honoring Christians killed by ISIS
Relatives of the Coptic Christians beheaded last month by jihadists in Libya – their deaths immortalized in a gory video set against the backdrop of a Mediterranean beach – are facing new extremist-Muslim violence as they seek to build a church to honor their murdered loved ones.
An angry mob in the Upper Egyptian village of Al Our – the proposed site of the church because it was home to 13 of the 21 Christians murdered in the mass "beachfront" decapitation – descended on the community's current church after the midday Islamic prayer Friday and chanted that they'd never allow construction of the new place of worship to begin, witnesses told Egyptian activists in the U.S.
Benghazi Committee Summons Hillary
From the Washington Examiner:
A House panel Tuesday formally requested Hillary Clinton to testify about the private server and email account she used while serving as secretary of state.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a request to Clinton's personal attorney, David E. Kendall, requesting that Clinton appear before the committee no later than May 1 for a transcribed interview about the server and email.
The request comes after Kendall told Gowdy that the server had been wiped clean and that it would be impossible to recover the 30,000 emails Clinton deleted last year.
Gowdy, in his request to Kendall, also asked Clinton to "reconsider" her refusal to turn over the server to a neutral third party, which he called "highly unusual, if not unprecedented."
Clinton said she only deleted personal emails and turned over every work-related message to the State Department, which is reviewing the data to filter out classified information.
"Because of the Secretary's unique arrangement with herself as it relates to public records during and after her tenure as Secretary of State."
Gowdy wrote, "this Committee is left with no alternative but to request Secretary Clinton appear before this Committee for a transcribed interview to better understand decisions the Secretary made relevant to the creation, maintenance, retention, and ultimately deletion of public records.
Anonymous Announces "Electronic Holocaust" in Arabic Against Israel
The Hill:
The hacking collective Anonymous has vowed to "erase" Israel from cyberspace in an "electronic Holocaust" on April 7.
It's the fourth year in a row the hacking group has targeted the Israeli government for "bombing, killing and kidnapping of the Palestinian people."
A Guy Fawkes-masked figure wearing a suit and tie delivered the message in a video posted to YouTube earlier this month.
"As we did many times, we will take down your servers, government websites, Israeli military websites, banks and public institutions," the figure said.

Sickening images show blindfolded and bound couple being brutally stoned to death for having sex before marriage by ISIS militants in Iraq
Gruesome new images have emerged showing Islamic State militants stoning a blindfolded and bound man and woman to death in Iraq after they were accused of having sex before marriage.Taken in the ISIS-stronghold of Mosul in Nineveh province, the shocking images show a large crowd gathered to watch the jihadis murder the defenceless couple.Young boys clamber onto their fathers' shoulders to get a better view of the man and woman being charged with 'fornication', before the familiar white-bearded face of ISIS's elderly Mosul-based executioner-in-chief Abu Ansar al-Ansari orders their stoning to death.
Catholic University Officials Approve Club to Raise Money For ISIS
Catholic university officials caught on secret video approving student club devoted to raising money for ISIS, saying: 'We're here to get that done.'
Administrators at a Catholic university in Florida agreed to help an honors student start a campus club that would send money and supplies to the ISIS terror army.
Hidden camera footage released Monday morning shows officials and faculty at Barry University advising a senior – identified only as 'Laura' – about the best way to secure funding for a club she called 'Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.'
'I want to start fundraising efforts on campus, and what I want to do is raise funds to send overseas,' she told Derek Bley, the school's Coordinator for Leadership Development and Student Organizations.
Bley offered to help her create the organization and agreed with her request to 'pass out Islamic State flags and educate people' at an annual student 'Festival of Nations' fair.
The video is from Project Veritas, a conservative 'guerilla film-making group' that last week captured a Cornell University dean agreeing that ISIS and Hamas would be welcome at the Ivy League school.

French Fear Plans To Make Iran the KEY US Middle East Ally…
Every day it gets more UNBELIEVABLE
Foreign Policy Mag (i.e. this is NOT some INFOWARS freak out):
How France Became an Iran Hawk
I don't even know what to say anymore?
Do we have to impeach and convict Mr. Obama to save the USA sometime in the next 5-20 years?
Foreign Policy Mag (i.e. this is NOT some INFOWARS freak out):
How France Became an Iran Hawk
The French don't trust Iran's nuclear promises, but they don't trust Washington much, either.
While the White House has been pushing hard for consensus on the framework for a deal ahead of the deadline, Paris has been pushing back. "Repeating that an agreement has to be reached by the end of March is a bad tactic. Pressure on ourselves to conclude at any price," Gérard Araud, France's ambassador in Washington, tweeted on March 20. On Tuesday, Francois Delattre, France's ambassador to the United Nations, said that Iran's progress was "insufficient."
The word from Paris has been equally unsupportive of the U.S. push for a deal. "France wants an agreement, but a robust one that really guarantees that Iran can have access to civilian nuclear power, but not the atomic bomb," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius declared on March 21.
What gives? Is France's Socialist President Francois Hollande actually a neoconservative? Has Paris suddenly turned into a hawk among nations?
Not quite. France's policy is dictated by a set of principles with regard to non-proliferation that have guided administrations on both sides of the political spectrum in the talks with Tehran since 2002. And the tension with Washington is just one expression of a larger disagreement between the two countries over U.S. strategy in the Middle East.
Differences between Washington and Paris have been quietly brewing for months.READ IT ALL

Negotiation 101-in what way would we NOT gain by walking out in Switzerland today?
How Obama's demonic Israel compulsion is about to END the UN
Today in the Washington Post Jackson Diehl has this to say:
This president will then find, in Jan 2017 UN Security council resolutions, and possibly SANCTIONS against Israel which he will have promised to reverse. He will then instruct all executive arms to DISREGARD all sanctions, and get a law stating the same through congress which he will sign.
We will then see the world divide between a POSSIBLE Chinese international banking system which MIGHT keep to whatever China leans towards in terms of sanctions, and the USA and World Bank which will ignore them.The Chinese are pretty amoral, so who knows what considerations might be critical then? They may have defense deals with Israel going on after Obama jettisons Israel.
UN sanctions and resolutions will thus end having ANY legitimacy, and US support for the UN in ANY MANNER will be a debating point. Even TODAY, the Senate is questioning any further US economic support for the UN if the Iran nuke deal is implemented thru the UN instead of congress.
And THAT will be that.
It will make nice condos, on the east side, anyway.
Obama's next earthquakeIn fact, Obama's DISREGARD for the public, now clearly waking up to being euchred in too many ways, will usher in a period of Republican presidency, and republicans majorities in the House, and close to a veto proof one in the Senate.
By declaring Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations dead and blaming Netanyahu, Obama laid the predicate for a decision to go forward with a U.S.-backed U.N. Security Council resolution that would set the terms for a final peace settlement. Envisioned as an updating of U.N. Resolution 242, which has been part of the framework for the Mideast "peace process" since the 1960s, the idea would be to mandate the solution to the questions Israelis and Palestinians have been unable to agree upon for decades, such as the future status of Jerusalem. Not incidentally, it would provide Obama with the Mideast legacy he has craved since his first day in office.
Whether or not it accelerated Palestinian statehood (and most likely it wouldn't), Obama's initiative would set off an earthquake in U.S. foreign relations and for Israel's standing in the world. For nearly half a century, the United States has taken the position that the terms for a peace settlement between Israelis and Palestinians must come about as the result of negotiations and not as an imposition by outside parties. At the United Nations, it has been a given that Washington will veto resolutions that aim to compel Israel to accept terms.
Now Obama is contemplating going forward with a resolution that was drafted last year by Secretary of State John Kerry and his Mideast negotiations team at the State Department. The language was drawn up in response to efforts by the Palestinians and France to win support for Security Council resolutions following the collapse of Kerry's attempt to get Israeli and Palestinian assent to a "framework agreement."
This president will then find, in Jan 2017 UN Security council resolutions, and possibly SANCTIONS against Israel which he will have promised to reverse. He will then instruct all executive arms to DISREGARD all sanctions, and get a law stating the same through congress which he will sign.
We will then see the world divide between a POSSIBLE Chinese international banking system which MIGHT keep to whatever China leans towards in terms of sanctions, and the USA and World Bank which will ignore them.The Chinese are pretty amoral, so who knows what considerations might be critical then? They may have defense deals with Israel going on after Obama jettisons Israel.
UN sanctions and resolutions will thus end having ANY legitimacy, and US support for the UN in ANY MANNER will be a debating point. Even TODAY, the Senate is questioning any further US economic support for the UN if the Iran nuke deal is implemented thru the UN instead of congress.
And THAT will be that.

Reports: Chemical Weapon Bombs Air Dropped on Syria City Captured by Anti-Assad Forces
As volatile as the Middle East is, we can never know for sure who will be in charge of any given nation next year, or next week.
And yet, our President wants Iran to have nuclear weapons.
So, for instance, if Houthi Rebels, or ISIS, or Boko Haram take over Iran, well, they would have access to nukes.
That's ok, right?
Fuck Obama.

Muslim Judge Finds Christian Guilty (of quoting Leviticus) in Britain
The first is that the judge who found Mr Overd guilty is a Muslim by the name of Shamim Qureshi who also presides over Sharia courts in England. Now, no matter how unpleasant the Leviticus quote might be, the idea that a Muslim activist can find a Christian guilty of quoting the Bible in Christian Britain must surely set some alarm bells ringing, one would have thought.
But apparently not. This outrage was reported by Christian Today several days ago and has been completely ignored by the mainstream media, which no doubt agree that prosecuting Christians is quite right if they dare to question the Holy Grail of progressive liberal orthodoxy. Clearly PC Plod thought the same thing too, as did the Crown Prosecution Service, which as an institution has not so much been long marched through than steam-rollered into a Soviet-style apparatus redolent of Stalin's Show Trial era.

Chainsaw Massacre: Boko Haram Islamists Behead 40 Villagers With Chainsaws
What Muslims Are Good At
Religion of Peace:
Militants from extremist group Boko Haram attacked several Nigerian towns, torching houses and fatally shooting those who fled before reportedly beheading some of the bodies with chainsaws. The string of terror attacks comes amid the presidential vote.
At least 25 people were killed and more than 30 injured in the village of Buratai in Borno state, local officials confirmed.
Surviving witnesses described gruesome scenes of murder, saying that not only did the extremists set homes on fire and shoot those trying to escape, but also decapitated the bodies.
Local politician Ibrahim Adamu, who fled the scene, told CNN that Boko Haram "slaughtered their victims like rams and decapitated them," adding that "they burned a large part of the village and we are afraid some residents were burnt in the homes because most people had gone to bed when the gunmen struck."
Obama Allies, Including David Axelrod Firm, Have Been Working To Elect Sharia-Favoring Presidential Candidate In Nigeria
From the Commentator:
On Saturday, Nigerians will go to the polls to choose their president. The race pits an incumbent with an imperfect record against a former military dictator who has flirted with Islamism.
As with the recent election in Israel, alumni of Obama are aiding the challenger — and not because he would make the region safer. The decision Nigerians will make this weekend matters greatly, both for themselves and the West.
Nigeria has Africa's largest economy, with a gross domestic product of about $500 billion. It is a major energy producer and exporter, but also a political and cultural bellwether: the nation of 177 million is divided almost equally between Christians and Muslims.
Nigeria's problems are serious, ranging from endemic corruption to a spiraling jihadist insurgency. The economy is growing but the unemployment rate exceeds 20 percent.
Transparency International, which ranks nations by the absence of corruption, places Nigeria at an undesirable 136th out of 175. Far more concerning, Boko Haram, the foremost jihadist group in Nigeria, has waged a bloody Islamist insurgency.
This month, the group's leader pledged allegiance to ISIS, whose own reach now includes parts of North Africa. The challenger in Saturday's election, Muhammadu Buhari, blames incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan for these problems.
Buhari recently remarked, "if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria." That sounds appealing: corruption repels foreign capital and creates misery for those without privilege. But Buhari's medicine may be worse than the disease.
His prescriptions range from the facile, like passing a whistleblower law, to the dangerous, like expanding the use of sharia — Islamic law that is enacted and enforced by clerics rather than democratic institutions.
Iran's Proxy Army
Netanyahu: Iranian Nuclear Deal Even Worse Than We Thought
Reuters reported:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned on Sunday the framework Iranian nuclear agreement being sought by international negotiators, saying it was even worse than his country had feared.
Israel has mounted what it terms an "uphill battle" against an agreement that might ease sanctions on the Iranians while leaving them with a nuclear infrastructure with bomb-making potential. Tehran says its nuclear program is peaceful.
"This deal, as it appears to be emerging, bears out all of our fears, and even more than that," Netanyahu told his cabinet in Jerusalem as the United States, five other world powers and Iran worked toward a March 31 deadline in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Noting advances made by Iranian-allied forces in Yemen and other Arab countries, Netanyahu accused the Islamic republic of trying to "conquer the entire Middle East" while moving toward nuclearization.
"The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is very dangerous to humanity, and must be stopped," he said.
Netanyahu's campaigning against the nuclear negotiations crested on March 3 with his speech to the U.S. Congress at the invitation of its Republican speaker, John Boehner, that angered President Barack Obama and many fellow Democrats.
New York Times Oped: To Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran
I honestly do not know how this could be accomplished without NUCLEAR BUNKER-BUSTERS.
In theory, comprehensive international sanctions, rigorously enforced and universally adhered to, might have broken the back of Iran's nuclear program. But the sanctions imposed have not met those criteria.
Naturally, Tehran wants to be free of them, but the president's own director of National Intelligence testified in 2014 that they had not stopped Iran's progressing its nuclear program. T
here is now widespread acknowledgment that the rosy 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, which judged that Iran's weapons program was halted in 2003, was an embarrassment, little more than wishful thinking.The inescapable conclusion is that Iran will not negotiate away its nuclear program.
Nor will sanctions block its building a broad and deep weapons infrastructure.
The inconvenient truth is that only military action like Israel's 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein's Osirak reactor in Iraq or its2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea,can accomplish what is required. Time is terribly short, but a strike can still succeed.
Tory Vote Fixer Wrote Pamphlet Calling on Jihadis to Create Muslim state in Europe, Thinks Nazi Were Misunderstood, Jews Control the World
Moderate Nazi-Sympathizing Muslim
Revealed: 'Walter Mitty' Tory vote fixer exposed by MoS wrote jihadi pamphlet calling on warriors to create Muslim state in Europe
The Tory Election candidate exposed for plotting with far-Right extremists to stir up racial hatred is a former member of a fanatical Islamic sect that believes the Nazis were misunderstood and that Jews control the world.
Afzal Amin, who resigned after The Mail on Sunday published undercover recordings of him meeting the English Defence League, joined the Birmingham wing of the Murabitun, a fundamentalist cult which questioned the Holocaust and praised Hitler.
In 1992 when Amin was 18, he left the group, founded by Scottish hippy Ian Dallas, after becoming disillusioned.
In the pamphlet Amin – described last week by a colleague as a 'Walter Mitty character' – demeans women and calls for restaurants that serve alcohol to be burned. The book, which is entitled Ian Dallas: The Shaykh Who Has No Clothes, criticised the group for not being radical enough.

Global Warming Is a Scam - Heads of IPCC Tell Us, "Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection…One must say clearly that we redistribute the world's wealth by climate policy"
From Western Journalism:
The primary objective behind environmental activism related to anthropogenic global warming (AGW), aka "climate change," is apparently not climatological, but rather is economic.
The revelation came not from "global-warming deniers," but from the United Nations' own Christiana Figueres, who serves as the Executive Secretary of the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change.
At a press conference in Brussels last month, the UN climate chief delineated the objectives of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations.
She revealed: "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution."
She continued: "That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 – you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
Capitalism has been the primary economic model of the west since the industrial revolution. Therefore, the only logical conclusion, based on her stated objective, is the eradication of capitalism and free market economics, to be replaced with a model based on monetary redistribution.
This we know by the redistribution calculations being developed by the UN's IPCC for developed nations to pay "reparations" and "carbon offsets" to poorer countries based on carbon dioxide emissions.
While Figueres may have unintentionally disclosed the primary objective of the AGW alarmist movement within the UN, others are much less veiled. Naomi Klein, a self-defined "feminist-socialist," environmental activist, and author of the book "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate," is explicit in her denunciation of capitalism as the source of global warming.
Her interview this week with Germany's Der Spiegel underscored her denunciation of capitalism as the source of all evil in the world, including global warming. "The economic system that we have created has also created global warming. We can't change the physical reality, so we must change the political reality."
Such a conclusion is easy to accept if the AGW alarmist premise is embraced blindly, sans scientific validation. Ottmar Edenhofer, a German economist and co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III, explicitly affirmed the economic objective.
He said a few years ago: "Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection…One must say clearly that we redistribute the world's wealth by climate policy…The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world's resources will be negotiated."

From Newsmax:
My name is Tom Luongo, and I've recently had this exact experience. In the following few pages, I am going to show you the alarming research in the document that was laid before me that night in Palm Beach.
I will tell you why this network of politicians, corporations, and scientists tried to hide this research . . . and how you can be part of a newly formed initiative with the aim of getting this research into the hands of every American.
This research proves, once and for all, that "global warming" is a sham . . . a sham perpetuated by a network of dirty government officials, greedy corporations, and bought-off "scientific" organizations.
It's unfortunate, but the betrayal you're going to discover today runs very deep, and revealing the truth about "global warming" comes with great risk. As a scientist for over 20 years, I've always upheld the truth.
I've worked with the University of Florida to do some amazing things . . . I've helped make crop yields more productive for third world countries . . . I helped create an intermetallic coating for gun barrels that dropped maintenance requirements on firearms by half . . . and I've helped cure diseases.
I have seen a lot of research go across my desk. But none of it can compare to the 164-page document that landed in front of me that night in Palm Beach.
That's why I'm going to lay the facts from this document before you today, and then I'm going to ask that you join me, and the man who composed this document, on our mission to defund the "global warming" sham . . .
Close Media Aide To President Rouhani Defects During Iran Nuclear Talks, Says U.S. Negotiators Acting On Behalf Of Iran
Can news get any bigger than this?
Doesn't this mean Obama is committing Treason?
From the Telegraph:
A close media aide to Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian president, has sought political asylum in Switzerland after travelling to Lausanne to cover the nuclear talks between Tehran and the West.
Amir Hossein Motaghi, who managed public relations for Mr Rouhani during his 2013 election campaign, was said by Iranian news agencies to have quit his job at the Iran Student Correspondents Association (ISCA)….
In his television interview, Mr Mottaghi also gave succour to western critics of the proposed nuclear deal, which has seen the White House pursue a more conciliatory line with Tehran than some of America's European allies in the negotiating team, comprising the five permanent members of the UN security council and Germany.
"The US negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran's behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal," he said.Just yesterday, our Allies said the same thing:
Believe That Obama Is Leaking Secret Information to Iran to Kiss Up To Them
Labels: aiding and abetting, allies, close media aid to President Rouhani, Death to America, Iran, Obama, sworn enemy, Treason, tried and if convicted hung by the neck until dead
Liberal thought on the Iran deal

"The Saudis feel they are fighting for their very existence"
Scott Atran, a Mideast analyst with Artis Research who has worked closely with U.S. government agencies as a consultant
Daily Beast:
Over the last few days, U.S. forces in Yemen have been evacuated in haste, reportedly leaving behind troves of sensitive documents.In an interview with The Daily Beast, Senator Richard Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, underscored the chaotic development of events on the ground in Yemen. "We're totally out," he told our correspondent Tim Mak. "Yemen is going to be, in the president's own words, a 'model,' [but] not of success, [instead] of absolute failure of our foreign policy."Since late last year, Tehran's backing for the Houthi rebels has been increasingly obvious. They took control in the capital Sanaa in January, ousting President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi from his palace there, and they have been closing in on his displaced government in the southern Yemen city of Aden. Hadi is now reportedly in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.From the Saudi point of view, Iran is gaining strength in Syria, where it is the embattled Assad regime's most important ally, in Iraq, where it is propping up the mainly Shiite central government, and now in Yemen. All of these countries are on Saudi Arabia's borders, and, what is more, to the extent that pro-Iranian Shiite forces appear to be gaining momentum, that threatens to disrupt the fragile equilibrium in the oil-producing Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, which has a majority Shiite population. Partly because of fears the crucially important production from Saudi Arabia may be disrupted, oil prices rose dramatically on Thursday."The Saudis are scared right now. They're worried about Iran," a U.S. official in contact with governments in the region told The Daily Beast. Riyadh may have notified the United States about their airstrikes, but they made it clear that they weren't waiting for the American military to come to their aid, the official said.
Egypt seizes Bab el Mandeb ahead of Iran.. WAR AHEAD? Lead from behind
In a surprise step, Egyptian marine naval and marine forces Thursday morning, March 26, seized control of the strategic Bab El-Mandeb Straits to foil Tehran's plans to grab this important energy shipping gateway between the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal,
Debka's military sources report from the Gulf. Egypt disguised the raid as a counter-piracy operation. It rounded off the Saudi-led air strikes launched the same morning against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. These operations signaled the start of a major Sunni Arab revolt against Iran's approaching takeover of Yemen, through its Houthi proxy, and advances in other strategic positions in the Middle East, with Washington's support.
Yemen Conflict Could Disrupt Major Oil Shipping Route; Insurers Pull Back
Conflict in Yemen risks spilling out into the busy sea lanes that pass it and potentially disrupt the narrow Bab el-Mandeb passage through which nearly 4 million barrels of oil are shipped daily to Europe, the United States and Asia.
Oil prices rose as much as 6 percent on Thursday after neighboring Saudi Arabia and its allies launched air strikes on Yemen that targeted Iran-backed Houthi rebels fighting to oust Yemen's president.
The development is a gamble by the world's top oil exporter to check Iranian influence in its backyard.
"The collapse of Yemen as a political reality and the power of the Houthis will enable Iran to expand its presence on both sides of the Bab el-Mandeb, in the Gulf of Aden and in the Red Sea. Already discrete numbers of Iranian naval vessels regularly sail these waters," J. Peter Pham of U.S. think tank the Atlantic Council said.
Houthis attempting to control Yemen's Bab El-Mandeb strait: source
Sana'a, Asharq Al-Awsat—Recent advances by Yemen's Houthi movement are part of an attempt to take control of the strategic Bab El-Mandeb strait off the Yemeni coast, military sources in the country said on Saturday.
This comes as three members of the group and three military personnel were killed on Friday evening as the armed Houthis attempted an attack on the Al-Khoukha military camp just south of the coastal city of Al-Hudaydah, close to the strategic waterway.
The Bab El-Mandeb, which connects the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea and Suez Canal, is one of the most important maritime corridors in the world, through which most of Yemen's oil exports pass on their way to global markets.
Retired Yemeni brigadier-general Mohsen Khasrouf told Asharq Al-Awsat the group "has its eyes firmly on the Bab El-Mandeb strait" and that Friday night's attack represented "the first step on the road to taking control" of the waterway for the Houthis and former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Many in Yemen believe Saleh has been aiding the Houthis' recent efforts to strengthen their hold over swaths of Yemen, which have seen them take control of the capital Sana'a and other parts of the country as well as military and government buildings and facilities.
Khasrouf said Saleh, a former army officer, still enjoyed great popularity within the Yemeni military, which he said the Houthis were now clearly attempting to control.
"The Bab El-Mandeb strait is not just related to Yemen's security but to the security of the whole region," Khasrouf said, adding that Iran was acting through the Houthis and attempting to gain control of the strait, which in addition to Iranian control of the strait of Hormuz, would give the Islamic Republic a strategic maritime advantage on the Arabian Peninsula's surrounding waterways.

As I follow Pirates games on twitter and read some of the better Pirates blogs out there, there's always an uproar whenever Clint Hurdle calls for a bunt. In fact a Google search for "hurdle bad bunt" yields 65,400 results in the last year alone. Clearly some of the decisions seems questionable at best and asinine at worst.
But how does Hurdle compare to other managers in calling bunts and intentional walks? Jacob Peterson at Beyond the Box Score has put together a simple metric which he calls the Traditional Manager Index. The TMI is simply sacrifice bunts by position players added to intentional walks. There's a lovely graphic which I'll let you click through to see, but the upshot is that Hurdle ranks #21 in total TMI with a score of 20 (The range is from 8-36).
And sac bunts alone? Hurdle has ordered eight non-pitcher bunts, good for 18th place, and below the average of 10.4 (range: 4-20).
My takeaway: While not optimal, Clint Hurdle is not nearly the worst offender at meddling with game situations. I think his enthusiasm and motivational skills make up for a few bad calls.

Configuring a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services License Server
|Table of Contents
|Deploying a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server Farm using TS Session Broker
|Managing Windows Server 2008 Disk Quotas
|Purchase and download the full PDF and ePub versions of this eBook only $9.99
Unless licensing is configured during the initial installation of the Terminal Services role on Windows Server 2008, a 120 day grace period is provided before a license server needs to be installed and activated. The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to provide details on installing and activating a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services License Server and installing Client Access Licenses.
Installing the Terminal Services License Server
The first step is to install the Terminal Services License Services server role. The license server does not necessarily have to be installed on a system which is acting as a Terminal Server. The installation can be performed using by selecting Roles from the tree in the left hand panel of the Server Manager tool.
If the server is already configured with the Terminal Services role, click on the Add Role Services link. In the resulting dialog titled Select Role Services select the check box next to TS License Server and then click Next to proceed to the Configure discovery scope for TS licensing screen as illustrated in the following figure:
The selections on this screen define whether licenses are to be issued to systems in the same workgroup, domain or domain forest as the license server. The correct selection here will depend on your network configuration. Once the selection has been made click Next followed by Install on the subsequent confirmation screen.
On a server which is does not have the Terminal Services role installed, open the Server Manager, select Roles from the tree in the left hand panel and select Add Roles. Click Next on the initial screen if it appears so that the Select Server Roles screen is displayed. From the list of roles select the check box next to Terminal Services and click on the Next button. Read the information screen and then proceed to the Select Service Roles screen. Check the box next to TS Licensing and click next. As described above, choose whether the server is to be accessible to terminal servers in the same workgroup, domain or domain forest as the license server. Click Next followed by Install to initiate the installation process.
Activating the TS License Server
Once the TS License Server has been installed the next task is to activate it. This task is performed using the TS License Manager which may be launched by running tsconfig.exe or via Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Terminal Services -> TS License Manager. Once started, the TS License Manager dialog will appear containing a list of detected license servers on the network. The only license server listed in the following figure is the one on the local server. Because this has yet to be activated it is listed with a red circle containing an X mark next to it:
To activate a license server, right click on the server in the list and select Activate Server. After reading the welcome screen click Next to proceed to the Connection Method screen. The activation process requires communication with Microsoft in one form or another. If the server has an internet connection then the activation can be performed over this connection. The default, recommended method, is to have the TS License Manager automatically connect to gather the information. Failing that, another option is go to the https://activate.microsoft.com web site using a browser and enter the product ID. Alternatively, if an internet connection is not available or a firewall prevents such access the activation may be performed over the telephone. If Automatic connection is selected, the following dialog will appear as the wizard attempts to contact Microsoft:
Once the Microsoft activation server has been located a new dialog will appear prompting for user, company and geographic location information. Complete these details and click Next to proceed. The second screen requests more detailed, but optional information. Either complete this information or click Next to skip to the activation process. Once again the wizard will contact Microsoft and complete the activation. Once completed, the following completion screen will appear:
Note that the Start Install Licenses Wizard now check box is selected by default. If you are ready to begin installing Client Access Licenses (CALs) now click on Next.
Installing Client Access Licenses (CAL)
A Client Access License (CAL) is required for each client requiring access to Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services. Once a TS License Server has been installed and activated the next step is to install the CALs. This can be performed as a continuation of the TS License Server activation process as outlined above, or at any other time by opening the TS Licensing Manager, right clicking on the appropriate license server in the list and choosing Install Licenses from the popup menu.
Once the Install Licenses wizard has started, click Next on the welcome screen to select the type of license program being used. Select the appropriate license type from the drop down list depending on how the licenses were acquired and then click Next to enter the license codes. On the License Code screen enter each code and press the Add button: <google>WIN28BOX</google>
Once all the codes have been added click on the Next button to complete the license installation process.

Jury selection began Monday in a trial that could see John Travolta take the stand against two people accused of trying to extort $25 million from the movie star following his son's death in the Bahamas.
Travolta is on a list of 14 witnesses against the defendants — a former Bahamas senator and an ambulance driver — who allegedly threatened to release a document related to the treatment of his chronically ill son Jett.
His testimony would mark a break from the low profile that Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, have kept since their 16-year-old son died from a seizure at a family vacation home on Grand Bahama island on Jan. 2.
Travolta, 55, skipped the publicity tour this summer for his latest film, "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3." He posted a note on his personal Web site in June thanking his co-stars for their efforts to promote the picture, which gave the family additional time to grieve.
Prosecutors declined to say when Travolta might testify or whether he is in the country.
Former Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, who was among those who tried to revive Jett after he collapsed, have pleaded innocent to charges including conspiracy to commit extortion.
Before the start of jury selection, defense lawyers argued unsuccessfully for a delay, saying they needed more time to press prosecutors to hand over evidence.
A hearing is scheduled before another judge Wednesday on their request for materials that reportedly include recordings of the defendants' conversations with a lawyer for Travolta.
The pair allegedly threatened Travolta with a document that would have released emergency responders from liability if the family refused an ambulance. However, police said that did not happen in Jett's case. It is unclear why the pair allegedly believed Travolta would pay to keep the document from being released.
Both defendants have been free on bail.
Jett Travolta had a history of seizures and was found unconscious in a bathroom. A Bahamas undertaker said the death certificate listed seizure as the cause of death.
Jury Selection Begins In Travolta Extortion Trial
Jury selection began Monday in a trial that could see John Travolta take the stand against two people accused of trying to extort $25 million from the movie star following his son's death in the Bahamas.

ESPN's E:60 Made Me Cry
In college I learned a lot about feature stories. If you are not familiar with them or if you are unfamiliar with the journalistic term, feature stories are basically a break from the hard news; a look at people's lives without the craziness of what is happening at that moment. They can be interesting, unique, and moving, if written or conveyed properly.
Tonight ESPN's series E:60 began its new season. The show airs every Tuesday night and it is basically a program about feature stories; a break from SportsCenter and the game recaps with a focus on different athletes and their personal triumphs and tragedies.
On tonight's season premiere, my eyes were opened – and eventually swelled. ESPN did an investigative and gripping piece on Christina-Taylor Green, the 9 year-old girl who was killed in Tucson, AZ on Jan. 8 of this year.
I didn't realize until tonight that Christina was the granddaughter of Dallas Green, manager of the Yankees in 1989. Green also managed the Philadelphia Phillies to their first World Series in 1980.
Christina was born on Sept. 11, 2001, one of the worst days in American history. Her parents said she was a "glimmer of hope" in the wake of such tragedy; out of the worst day in America's history came their sparkling little girl.
Christina enjoyed baseball and she was very close with her Little League teammates. I suppose she had to be, considering her background. There was only one other girl on her team, 8 year-old Mae Sinclair. Even as a girl, she had the respect of all her male teammates, and she never thought of herself of as a female ballplayer – just a ballplayer.
When she died, at the hand of a sick gunman who was looking to assassinate Senator Gabrielle Giffords, everyone around her seemed to be impacted in such a major way. Although I am not a parent myself, I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to lose a child at such a young age. Her grandfather seemed devastated and heartbroken while her young teammates expressed how sad they were, not to be playing with her this year.
"It feels good to be playing baseball again, but without her it's a little bit lonely," remarked one of her teammates.
Another said, "I think that it's just sad that she's not here anymore."
The sincerity in the eyes of these young ballplayers was just overwhelming. I think the sadness in their eyes is what turned my eyes into Niagra Falls.
ESPN takes you the viewer through the whole story, as emotionally draining as it is. The most breathtaking part of the whole story is the end. They show how an angel, fashioned out of steel from the World Trade Center, now sits behind the field Christina once played on – as well as how that field is now named after her.
There have not been many programs or movies that I have seen that have driven me to tears. This story did, and more importantly, it taught me a lesson. One person, no matter how small, can make a world of difference in someone's life. Christina's personality seemed to touch so many people around her and I think it lives on through her legacy.
I also feel I learned that no matter how bad I think I have it, things can be worse. A young lady, who had such a zest for life and possessed such a positive attitude, is now gone. And not only is she gone, her loving family is without her and I know that I shouldn't take my life for granted because there are other people who valued their life and aren't here anymore.
If you would like to be moved and watch Christina's story, click here.
Also, be sure to catch E:60 every Tuesday night at 7:00 on ESPN. You will see some wonderfully compiled feature stories and some top-notch reporting. I don't agree with some of what ESPN has to say, but trust me, this show is a must-see for any sports fan.

Who is sitting down here...and why?? This is a detour....not a RBArmani? Jennifer??
Peach why are you keep writing Armani and not Amani? Are you dreaming of going shopping for some Armani clothes? I'll be in Italy next week do you me to buy you anything from Armani?
Two thoughts:1. At different points, the bags of grass carried by Sandy and by Kathy appeared to be less than 3/4 full. I'm thinking that more teams were sent back to refill their bags than were shown.2. I'm pretty angry that the clues at the Borobudur Temple did not include the instruction that the racers are NOT to touch the buddhas. Instead, we see Ernie putting his hands on the buddhas while counting them while Marcus is resting his rear end against them, both violations of the rules at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site has survived 1,200 years so far, mainly because it has been covered up by the jungle for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, TAR has now contributed to its destruction.
I hate to say this.. but isn't this far too obvious?
I don't like how Phil has deviated so far from the 'standard TAR speak' in this season. In this episode, he tells Laurence & Zac that they are 'Team Number One', not 'the first team to arrive'. I don't recall Phil ever telling a team that they are 'Team Number X' before applying any penalties.
He is doing an Allan.Next episode he will probably say... "This is the third pit-stop... in a race around the world" (high-pitch fake excited voice + open arms wide)
And it sucks that Kaylani and Lisa were eliminated because of something so minor such as keeping their cabs. So now potential racers who wants to go on the race please learn something, it's not always good to keep your cabs.

Evacuations Expand as Rain Continues Falling in Colorado
LYONS, Colo. (AP) — As rain keeps falling over Colorado, the threat of flooding is prompting emergency officials to issue evacuation calls to thousands more homes.
The city of Fort Collins is urging residents of three neighborhoods to evacuate this morning after a surge on a local river sent water over the top of a reservoir.
Late-night calls went out in Boulder and the village of Eldorado Springs as nearby creeks rose to dangerous levels, while a number of towns in the Rocky Mountain foothills have been cut off and are without power. The Colorado National Guard began trucking people out of town of Lyons last night.
Residents along the Big Thompson Canyon in Larimer County, scene of the deadliest flash flood in state history, were also evacuated. And early this morning, the National Weather Service warned of more flash flooding in Loveland.
Recent wildfires have worsened the flooding, stripping the landscape of ground cover that would normally absorb the rain.

This is the 25-year-old Boston man who allegedly left two backpacks at the Boston Marathon finish line Tuesday night and got himself arrested for his troubles. His name is Kevin Edson, though he's now apparently going by Kayvon. He is, or was, a student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Earlier tonight, Barstool found Edson's Facebook page, which has his name listed as "Kayvon Edson." (Alysha Palumbo of NECN was the first to ID him as "Kevin Edson.") Edson's Facebook header is a photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, along with some text:
Some other photos:
Edson seems to be involved in performance art, posting videos on a YouTube channel called "Nat Sel," short for Natural Selection.
Here's a photo of a post from naturalselection.net, the website advertised on Edson's YouTube channel. There was a post published today, devoted to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. One of the photos was on Edson's Facebook page. (h/t fdsafds664333)

So. B.
Bayes was this little guy, way back when who happened to notice something that most people just naturally assume to be true. It's not, but people assume this.
And this observation that Bayes noticed was this.
"Hey, look, guys, something seems to happen because of everything else that's happening!"
Stunning revelation, isn't it?
But then he, unlike everybody else at that time (prior and even unto now), codified that belief.
('Belief.' Heh. The Bayesian network is also called the belief network).
He said, the likelihood of something is dependent on the likelihood of all the other factors you've observed.
So, for example, the probability of you picking the bracket perfectly is a (more than a few) billion (plus) to your one guess. Double your odds? Guess twice.
Yeah, right.
But I digress.
As usual.
So, formulized, Bayes said
p(x | X) = p(a | x) * p(b | x) * p(c | x) ... * p(z | x)
Or, that is:
The probability of x in the set of X's happening (like the probability of the Red Sox winning this game), is equivalent to the set of probabilities of everything else happening, given that the Red Sox won before.
So, was it raining when the Red Sox won?
Was it Tuesday when the Red Sox won?
Did you wear your lucky shirt when the Red Sox won?
You take all that historical data, compute the probabilities of each, multiply them all together, and you come up with some probability.
Then, you do the same for all cases (Red Sox winning is one case, Red Sox losing is what we don't even want to consider, but it is a case, too, so just deal with that ... for eighty-six years), and the case with the highest probable outcome is ... well, the one most likely to occur.
... according to Bayes.
How does this work in practice?
Well, pretty darn good, but that's dependent upon what other systems you're comparing it against and what you're using it for.
For example (or 'fer realz'), a Bayesian classifier we built against a transactional system that ran one hundred thousand transactions per day was able to sniff out more than ninety-nine percent of the transactions that were ... 'fishy': erroneous or malicious. Compared to what other system? A rule-based system made up of rules composed by subject-matter experts and analysts familiar with the transactions.
Another for example, a little Bayesian classifier I built to pick winning football teams worked ... pretty well. We had ten or so members of that pool, and I walked away a winner three or four times. Not stellar, but not bad; not bad at all.
The beauty of a Bayesian classifier is that it's simplicity itself to implement. The probabilities run away from you on a computer, because multiplying small probabilities will get you into the IEEE math error zone so quickly your head will spin, and your system gets all weirded out, but instead of multiplying probabilities, just use a little bit of seventh grade math (in my day) and simply sum their logarithms:
p(x | X) = p(a | x) * p(b | x) * p(c | x) ...
can be re-represented as:
log p(x | X) = log p(a | x) + log p(b | x) + log p(c | x) ...

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sponsored initiative to reduce infant mortality and low birth weight births. PRAMS is an on-going state specific population based surveillance system designed to identify and monitor selected maternal experiences before, during and after pregnancy.
Texas is one of forty-one states (and New York City) in the U.S. participating in the PRAMS. Many states have used PRAMS findings to increase understanding of maternal behaviors and experiences and their relationship with adverse pregnancy outcomes. These data can be used to develop and assess programs and policies designed to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes and improve the health of babies and mothers. Texas PRAMS conducts surveys by mail and telephone of mothers who are residents of Texas who have recently given birth. The Texas PRAMS Databook presents findings on key survey questions on the following topics: Insurance (prenatal care and delivery), nutrition and folic acid awareness, prenatal care, communication with health care providers (on topics such as seat belt use, smoking, alcohol, breastfeeding, HIV testing), smoking, alcohol use, abuse before and during pregnancy, infant health, infant sleeping position, postpartum depression, pregnancy intendedness, and contraceptive use.
Texas PRAMS data are available for years 2002 through 2010. If you have any questions, or would like to request PRAMS data or share comments about the Texas PRAMS website and how we might improve it, please contact the PRAMS Coordinator at the email address or phone number listed below.
Also, please notify the PRAMS Coordinator on how you use our data (e.g. Presentations, funding applications, program planning or evaluation).
We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you.

Arkansas Lawmaker to Reintroduce Guns in Churches Bill
In the wake of the Illinois church shooting, an Arkansas lawmaker said she will reintroduce a bill allowing concealed handguns in Arkansas churches.
The original bill, sponsored by Rep. Beverly Pyle, would have removed churches and other houses of worship from the state's list of places where concealed handguns are banned in Arkansas. Only churches and bars are on that list.
The measure, HB 1237, was approved Feb. 11 by the Arkansas House on a 57-42 vote. The bill later died in the state Senate Judiciary Committee where it was stalled on a voice vote.
Pyle is now revising the measure and will run it back though that same committee next week hoping for more votes, Today's THV reported.
"I have received numerous emails and phones calls concerning this wanting me to bring this back, none against it," she told THV.
On Sunday, Terry J. Sedlacek allegedly walked down the aisle of First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill., and fatally shot Pastor Fred Winters, according to state police. He later injured himself and two church members with a knife while the three wrestled.
The 27-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery and is being held without bail.
Police say the suspect carried enough rounds of ammunition to kill at least 30 people.
Pyle originally introduced the bill after a series of church shootings across the country.
She said the central issue is not gun rights but "religious freedom," whether a church has the right to decide its policy on concealed guns.
Opponents of the measure argue that allowing guns would disturb the sanctity of churches.
