Church Silence
Promotes Violence
to humans, to animals, to our environment, to our economy, to our education, to our finances, and to our health
By: Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil
Are we to be like the three monkeys who see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil? According to our Biblical teachings, we are to be exactly the opposite. We are to observe and hear about the evils in this world and then speak out against them. This is a key component to having dominion over this earth. To do otherwise, actually makes us a slave to the evil, corrupt, and violent things of this world, which actually promotes their spread and magnitude.
The major theme of Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth is his admonishment of their failure to correct the evil things that were going on in their church, and encouraging them to do what was right and proper in the sight of God and the community around them. Jesus gives John the Revelation and speaks out messages to the seven churches for their correction (Revelation 2 and 3). Sadly, today most of our churches are strangely silent about the majority of the evil things taking place in this world, and violence continues to increase unchecked.
Additionally, as evil and violence increase in the world, so the church seems to accept parts of it as being acceptable. This led to such historical tragedies as the Crusades, the Inquisition, slavery, and the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.
These same kinds of things were happening in ancient Israel, and they caused the Lord to speak through Isaiah and say (1:15):
So when you spread out your hands in prayer,
I will hide My eyes from you,
Yes, even though you multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
Your hands are covered with blood.
And these words still ring true, today, for we are doing many of the same things those Israelites were doing. But some people might become angry and say, "What blood do I have on my hands?" We have the blood of crime victims, the blood or those wounded or killed in wars, we have the blood of those we've allowed to suffer and die without proper nutrition or medical care, and we have the blood of billions of animals who we allow to suffer and die in our intensive and insensitive animal agriculture industry, because we have done little or nothing to prevent these things from happening. We do indeed have our hands covered with blood.
Let's continue and look at the next two verses (Isaiah 1:16-17) for they tell us the beginning of what we are to do:
Wash yourselves, and make yourselves clean;
Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.
Cease to do evil,
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless;
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow.
How do we know how to remove the evil and violent things from ourselves and the sight of God? We come to know, because we learn the difference between good and evil, and what the Lord requires of us. With our eyes and ears, we learn to do good and reject evil, and seek justice for the whole of creation. With our mouths, we speak out to reprove the ruthless people of this world, and we defend the orphans and plead for the widows and all oppressed people and animals of this world. It's as we read in Micah 6:8:
He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
All of this requires us to see, and to hear, and to speak out to make a positive difference in this world. We can no longer afford to blind ourselves to the truth of the evils in this world, and to close our ears to the pleas for help from both humans and non-humans. We must speak out with loud and clear voices to end the evil, suffering, and violence in this world, or our silence will continue to promote violence, and our hands will continue to be covered with the blood of the innocent victims. And this blood will also be upon our hands if we fail to warn the evil doers of this world to cease from doing evil and to learn to do good (Ezekiel 3:17-21).
Church silence has and continues to promote violence, and it's time it stops!
The intent of this series is to wake up and encourage the Church to greater works of love and compassion (John 14:12). It is not to condemn the Church, in general, or any individual, any more than Jesus condemned the woman caught in adultery. Jesus said to her, "...go your way. From now on sin no more." (John 8:11) And this is our message to the Church: Recognize our sins of the past and go forth seeking to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48), correcting the sins of the past, for that is the only way we can truly show the world that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, might, and mind, including the whole of creation, which includes our neighbors whom we are to love as ourselves.

You might call it nature's antidepressant: spring! The calendar now says spring but mother nature doesn't. However, research shows the moment spring really arrives, you should rush outside and prepare to feel good. Cleveland Clinic psychologist Scott Bea says part of the reason the spring season is such a "pick-me-up" is because of what winter does to us. In the colder months, we are inside more and have less time and options for recreational activities.University of Michigan researchers have studied how mood and mental health can be impacted by the weather. They found the more time spent outside in pleasant temperatures, the more mood and memory improved.What's interesting is that hotter temperatures aren't exactly better. The U-M study found that the optimal temperature for mood for most Americans is 72 degrees. Any hotter, and people were not as happy. So, how much outside time do you need to feel happy? Thirty minutes in the warm sunshine seemed to pay off in the research, and Dr. Bea says after the winter we've had, some folks may be in need of a sunny "mental health day." "The classic mental health day is probably taken when someone is feeling a little bit pinched or feeling they need a little compensation for the suffering in their life and, of course, this winter has had a lot of people feeling that suffering," says Dr. Bea. A funny footnote to the U-M research, if the weather is really nice outside and you're stuck inside all day, that actually decreases your good mood and reduces your cognitive skills. Meaning, you might feel irritated and bored when you thing the rest of the world is enjoying a beautiful day outside. So make sure you dedicate some time to going outdoors when the temperatures do increase.

"Too Formulaic"
I bought this book because it was an Audible.com recommendation based on my previous purchases of mysteries and thrillers. I will be more careful about this in the future.
The narrator's skill is spotty; some of her accents were perfect, but the way she distinguished between the Boston cops was confusing (unclear) in some cases and embarrassing in others (caricature, cartoonish).
The main character, Sky Stone, is petite, rich, spectacularly beautiful, brilliant, intuitive, brave and a great chef ... blech! Again, unreal to the point of cartoonish. Although a brilliant and experienced police consultant, she agrees to meet a psychopath for dinner alone, never returns a phone call from someone who has urgent information about her case, and never tells her police partners about a dangerous man following her. I can handle a character who acts like a maverick periodically, but her extreme attitude is ridiculous.
Sky and her ex-fiance only scream at each other, but they have sex and live happily ever after. There is not one shred of likability in Jake's (the fiance's) character, and yet he is the guy she wants, and everyone else loves. Why?
The story was convoluted. I love a good mystery with twists and turns, but I object to an author adding information in the last chapter or two. In spite of the last minute add-ons, I still knew who was guilty and how it would all turn out because the story was so obvious and predictable.
Overall, I would say this is a formulaic book. Tiny, beautiful girl is tougher and smarter than the big rough policemen, and she saves the day.
One more comment - look at the cover. It looks like a bad James Bond illustration, and it should have warned me away from this book.
"Still Love Three Pines and Inspector Gamache"
This series is second-to-none. Read ALL of these novels, but you MUST begin with the first one. (This is book 10.)
EXCELLENT! Narrator, writing, plot, character development ... everything.
"Just not my Taste"
This is not a badly written book. However, it simply did not hold my interest. I waited several weeks to write this review because I was not sure what to say.
The bleak and battered Irish towns, the tormented main character ... just not my style. If I had to label it, I would say this book reminded me of a film-noire movie. If that appeals to you, please read this novel.
"Confusion of Characters and Plot"
I really expected to like this book because one of my favorite Audible.com reviewers did. However, I can't recommend it.
There is one well-drawn character in this book, and that is Hamish, the Scottish soldier who "haunts" main character Ian Rutledge. It is a brilliant and effective technique for author Todd to use, and I applaud him. However, I couldn't distinguish between any of the female characters or most of the male characters. I never developed any real picture of them, never developed opinions or attachments or interest, and was often confused. ("Which character said/did that?") I am not sure if a different narrator would have made a difference, but I doubt it.
And, the ending. Wow. It was out of left field, in a way that made me roll my eyes. I won't spoil it for you, but I'll say that what Todd wants us to believe is outrageous and unlikely in the extreme. Puleeze.
Don't bother.
If you are unfamiliar with this series, stop NOW and start with the first book "Still Life." You must read these books in order.
The Chief Inspector Gamache novels are police mysteries that take place in or near a small village in Quebec. (There is a bit of French tossed in, but knowledge of the French language is absolutely not required.) A murder will be solved by the end of the book, and I always enjoy the "mystery" aspect of these books.
But the characters and the complex plots are just as important.
Louise Penny has created a world with characters I know well and care deeply about. She has developed a main character (Armand Gamache) who has quickly become one of my favorites, ever, and I am a life-long reader. And she has woven the intricacies of storyline from book one to book nine (book 10 is about to be released) in such a way that I have to believe she saw the entire tapestry right from the beginning.
Add to these accolades the perfect narrator (Ralph Cosham), and you can see why this series is so special.
These books have EVERYTHING! Excellent writing, humor, drama, fascinating characters, mystery ... Start this series today.
"Fairly Interesting but Too Slow for Me"
I know very little about WWI and the British world at that time. "Maisie Dobbs" filled in some of that knowledge gap, and for that I am grateful. However, there isn't much of a story here, and the pace is very slow.
I liked the characters, but I didn't love them, and if I never found out what happened to Maisie, that would be OK.
"Part III Did not Disappoint"
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK (or this review) WITHOUT READING PARTS I AND II FIRST.
I had to reread my reviews of part I and part II before I wrote this one. Of course, because the first two books eventually reveal the truth about the mysterious little town of Wayward Pines, Idaho, "The Last Town" does not have as much tension as the first two book, the tension that comes from doubt: "are the citizens being kept in, or is something being kept out? And why?"
"THE LAST TOWN" is about how the various characters respond to the truth. It also reveals a little bit more about the past lives of this group of people who seem to have been arbitrarily thrown together. I like seeing the final few pieces of the puzzle put into place, so that was satisfying.
A new problem is presented to the townsfolk, and the solution is a BIG surprise. (No spoiler here.) I applaud Blake Crouch's creativity, and I can't wait to watch the TV series that is supposed to air sometime this year on FIX TV.
Louise Penny (author) is truly gifted. She has written a series of books (this is book 8 of 10 ... so far) that intricately and naturally intertwines the lives of a myriad of characters, most of whom I love. She has created a town in Canada where I'd like to live, or at least vacation, and neighbors I'd like to live near. And yet there is always a murder.
Penny explains the number of murders associated with the town and/or with these characters in a way that is credible and interesting. She also has a way of pulling the rug out from under the reader; not in an abrupt way, but by ignoring what are normally accepted rules of story telling. For example - and this is not really a spoiler - in one of the books, a beloved, main character turns out to be the murderer!
Her primary character, Armande Gamache, is a brilliant detective, a man of integrity, and a wonderful husband and father. I miss him in between books.
I cannot recommend this series enough. READ THEM IN ORDER!
"An OK Police Drama"
This is a good book; not great, not inspired, but good. Solid is the word that keeps coming to mind. I did want to see the good guy catch the bad guy, but I was not mesmerized by the story. There is virtually no suspense, and I LIKE the main character, but I did not love him. If you LOVE police stories and/or mysteries, read the Louise Penny Inspector Gamache stories or the Agent Pendergast books or the Onspector Lynley series by Elizabeth George. IN ORDER!
"Sweet Sadness and Hope"
I would describe "Heft" as a character study laced with sweet sadness. lost opportunity and loneliness. There is a small mystery in the plot, and, of course, hope keeps the characters afloat and drives the story forward.
"Heft" is not at all my usual kind of selection, but I loved it and will remember two of the characters - Arthur Opp and Yolanda - forever.
"Powerful, Sad, Illuminating"
This is historical fiction. Like other books I have read written by this author ("Exodus" and "Trinity"), "The Haj" educates the reader about real world events through the eyes of fictional characters who lived through those events.
This book's two primary characters are an Arab father and son, living in Palestine when the state of Israel is born. (The story begins at the close of WWII.) Uris's portraits of these two men are exquisite; I would recognize them if I met them!
Additionally, Uris tells the story in a way that manipulates my sympathies for the warring factions MUCH more than I expected, and in a way that brings me joy and heartbreak as the story unfolds.
Without spoiling anything, I will add that this is not a happy story. How could it be? The hatred and violence continue today.
I highly recommend this book. The narrator is fabulous!

The world's most notorious slum, Rio de Janeiro's City of God, was a place where combat photographers and police rarely went. This is the true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition as a photographer is our window in and his only way out." Director Fernando Meirelles combines visual flashiness with dark history in telling the story of three decades of unrest in underground Rio de Janiero." CONSENSUS: "A shocking and disturbing, but always compelling look at life in the slums of Rio de Janiero." MOTIVATION FOR ME TO SEE: After seeing the abandoned children of "Ali Zaoua" (1 Jun 09) and neglected children of "Born Into Brothels" (21 Apr 09), as well as "Salaam Bombay!", as well as memories of bicycling through slums throughout the world, the subject matter is irresistable. MY THOUGHTS: I thank my lucky stars that I was born in the United States to middleclass parents with all the privileges attendant, and I had the good fortune to use a liberal, questioning education to reconfirm this view in visiting many challenged cities of the globe. This is strong film about a time not too distant, a community I would have steered clear of regardless. [New purchase by HCL]

study, work, and worship for God's world
Closing Prayer
The Following Christ 2002 conference has come and gone, but there's still much to pray about, and we especially want to draw attention to the following items of thanksgiving as our "closing prayer." You may want to print this article out (using the "printer-friendly" link at the left) for handy reference.
Thanks for joining us all — and a large team of intercessors around the world — in praying for Following Christ 2002!
Thank God for safe travel and everyone being able to navigate the MARTA subway system in Atlanta to the hotel. Registration went smoothly from start to finish.
After praying that the morning speaker team of Marva Dawn, Vinoth Ramachandra, Dean Trulear, and Miroslav Volf would become a community, by the end of the week they, along with Mark Labberton and Dallas Willard had indeed drawn together and built on one another's content.
"God was with us in this place." Speaking, praying, worshiping — all focused on God being alive and at work.
All of the optional sessions were well attended and had great interaction where required. The After Hours performers were outstanding, not only in their giftedness, but also in sharing themselves.
Starting a conference with Sabbath? Yes, and it went well. Delegates even thanked us for the time, guide, rest, and refreshment of body and soul.
Praise God for Story Night! What an evening of God's working. The four people telling their stories could not have been more different, but it gave space for God to work, and to call out a next generation for his work in the world. The prayer-ministry time that evening continued for over an hour.
The fifteen tracks went well. God gave us great track co-chairs along with other presenters who not only shared content but shared their lives as well.
Thank God with us for all you who prayed for the conference. God has more than answered our prayers.
If you would like to review the pre-conference prayer articles, here is the most recent, to start the chain.

Ok, so i was talking to my mom the other day and she asked me why i was on team Edward. I told her because he doesnt want to be a monster and he protects Bella. Even though he thinks he is huring her by being with her, he is Bell's sole mate. I am not one of those carzi "I want to marry Edward" people, i just like the character and Rod Pattinson. SOOOOO Why are U in team Edward????
For more on twilight vist my blog at www.twilightsagabooksandmovies.blogspot.com and subscribe or follow!!!! THANKS

I'm on Team Edward for the same reason. I'm the type of person who sees the good in EVERYBODY, when no one else does. Not even themselves, I think it's things like that that really draws me to a person. When a person tries to be good, but can't see the good in themselves; I think that is really astounding.

Virus and Bacteria Lesson Plan: You Make Me Sick Game
Grade Levels: 6-8, 9-12
In this Virus and Bacteria lesson plan, which is adaptable for grade 6 through 12, students use BrainPOP resources to explore how viruses and bacteria are spread. Students will play an online game which simulates this process as they take on the role of a virus or bacteria that is attempting to infect a host. Students then explain ways people can prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria.
Students will:
- Define viruses and bacteria and explain how they are alike and different.
- Identify how viruses and bacteria are spread.
- Explain ways people can prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria.
- Internet access for BrainPOP and Filament Games
virus; capsid; fatty membrane; DNA; RNA; pathogenic viruses
Preparation:Familiarize yourself with the BrainPOP topic Viruses and Filament Games' online, interactive You Make Me Sick! game. The basic objective of the game is for students to create their own virus and attempt to infect a host. To do this successfully, they will need to choose a shape and type of virus or bacteria that is highly contagious and easily spread.
To watch the video trailer for the game, see alignment with state standards, or to learn more about how the game works, visit the Filament Games website.
Lesson Procedure:
- Show the FYI Comic and facilitate a discussion around it. How are viruses spread? Is covering your entire head an effective way to prevent the spread of viruses? What practical ways can we keep ourselves from getting sick?
- Share the Trivia page and invite students to tell the class about other interesting facts they know about viruses. You might also want to use the Q&Ato get students thinking about how viruses work.
- Show the Viruses movie with the closed captioning on. Pause at key points to clarify student understanding.
- Have students take the Quiz as a whole class activity. Show each question and have students display their answers using sign language or by holding up their fingers (1 finger for answer A, 2 fingers for answer B, etc.)
- Tell the class that they will have a chance to explore how viruses are spread by playing an interactive game online. They will play the role of a virus with the objective being to infect their host. Clarify that students should read carefully about each type/shape of bacteria and viruses and select the one they think is most contagious. You may wish to model this for students. You might also choose to differentiate game play: students with less prior knowledge can select an existing virus or bacteria, like salmonella, and more advanced students can design their own virus/bacteria. You can also scaffold student learning as needed by encouraging students to use an existing virus during the first round of game play, and then create their own during later practice opportunities.
- Give students about fifteen minutes to play the game either independently or in pairs.
- If students have individual logins through My BrainPOP, they'll be able to take snapshots during game play to capture significant moments and reflect on their work. Clicking on the snapshot tool generates a thumbnail image which is stored on the bottom left of the screen. At any point during game play, students can click on their snapshot(s) and type a caption or response to a prompt, and save or submit it to your teacher's account. Check out You Make Me Sick Additional Features for My BrainPOP for more information and specific snapshot prompts you can give students during You Make Me Sick game play.
- Facilitate a class discussion about the game. Which types of viruses and bacteria were most effective in infecting the host? The least effective? What are the implications for us in terms of trying to stay healthy? Ask students to reflect in writing on what they learned through the game.
Extension Activity:Use the Immune System movie to help students understand how our bodies ward off infection. Encourage students to brainstorm ways to boost the effectiveness of our immune systems and protect ourselves from illness.
Students can also view the Food Safety movie to learn more about how bacteria in food can make us sick, and how we can prevent the spread of foodborne viruses. You may wish to have students complete the Experiment to see first-hand how fungus grows.
Be sure to check out our other Science Games in GameUp!

What makes DMMS different from other preschools, primary schools, and daycares?
Montessori education focuses on the whole child. It involves sound educational practices that build upon a child's knowledge with activities that are interesting and engaging. Children learn to approach learning creatively, observing their surroundings in ways that challenge what others may see as mundane and commonplace. The Dancing Moose Montessori classroom is filled with beautiful materials designed to teach concrete lessons that precede abstract conceptualization. The environment is conducive to freedom and spontaneity because ethics of peace, order, and respect are upheld in the classroom community.

Peugeot uses the designation "RC" to show where it will be taking its designers in the future. This latest car is certainly falls under this catagory considering the actual name is "RC..." Just like the Peugeot RC concept cars of 2002 and the 908 RC of two years ago, this RC is the future of Peugeot. Although darkness distorts these pictures, the car's long hood and sloping roofline are still clearly visible.
Powered by a 313 hp gas/electric hybrid engine delivering CO2 emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle or ZERO in electric mode. According to Peugeot, "the RC… is an accessible and versatile car, with four doors, four seats and a highly innovative hybrid architecture".
It believes the eco-efficient RC... is a car that combines the combining respect for the environment with driving pleasure.
We expect more details about the car to be coming soon before the official viewing at the Paris Auto Show in October.

Pros: Great Looking Car
Cons: Reliability is terrible. Part costs are out of this world. Everything on this car falls apart.. Tranny goes bad and Audi knows about this. Yet there is no recall. Fuel pump goes bad on all of the A4's. Motor leaks oil, the coil packs have been recalled about 4 different times now. After all that the car isnt worth anything!! Thats why you find then so cheap. One big pile of junk. I will never buy another AUDI ever again.
Overall review: enough said

Love this car by An MSN Autos Consumer on 09/21/2006. Trim: 2006 Audi A4 2.0 T quattro w/ Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Where do I start? Excellent power, comfortable seats, great ride, awesome handling, one of the best interiors in the business. Audi hit the bullseye with this one!
Cons: The slight lag at times when taking off from a standstill. The seatbelt chime is very annoying.
Overall review: We bought an Avant (which is one of the most stylish station wagons available) in May. The best review I can give it is to say we're about to buy a second A4, this time a sedan with FWD and the CVT. Then we won't have to fight over who gets the Audi!

Melody Makers are the best harps available for playing SINGLE-NOTE MELODIES. They're great for playing Country, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Folk & Standards. These harmonicas provide a complete major scale, in cross harp, for playing exact melody without bending. Yet, the draw notes can still be bent for that bluesy feeling! Melody Makers are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow). In cross harp, melodies can be played with an expressive, fluid style that is extremely difficult to achieve in straight harp.

A monthly index that seeks to measure business confidence in Massachusetts fell 4.3 points in November as local employers fretted about the so-called fiscal cliff, a combination of steep tax increases and deep budget cuts that will go into effect early next year unless President Obama and Congress can devise an alternative plan.
The index is maintained by the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, or AIM, a group that represents Bay State employers. The index uses a 100-point scale. A reading above 50 indicates that the state's employer community is predominantly optimistic, and a reading below 50 points suggests a negative outlook.

How could Bieber take this monkey from its mummy? Vet slams pop star's 'monstrous' decision to take 14-week-old Capuchin on world tour
- Male Capuchin monkey 'Mally' is being held in quarantine in Germany
- He was seized when Bieber tried to take him through Munich airport
- Tests reveal it is 14 weeks old, too young to be separated from its mother
- It will only eat if it is given a cuddly toy monkey which 'acts as a surrogate'
Justin Bieber's monkey is at the centre of an animal welfare row after it emerged it was taken from its mother when it was only nine or 10 weeks old.
Austrian vet Kurt Grabenwoeger said it was 'monstrous' that the pop star had brought Capuchin Mally with him on a flight from Los Angeles to Germany when it should still be bonding with its mother.
And Bieber, due to perform at a concert in Hamburg this evening, was also criticised for not bothering to contact the quarantine centre where the animal is now being held to check on its welfare.
Mr Grabenwoeger said: 'These monkeys not only need to be with their mothers for at least a year - but they should also be surrounded by their family group.
'They are living creatures - not celebrity accessories like a handbag. Imagine a human baby sent off on a world tour at 10 weeks - would anyone allow that?'
Mr Grabenwoeger's warnings were echoed by the head of the animal quarantine station in Germany where Justin Bieber's baby monkey Mally is quarantined who said that he seemed nervous and confused at being in a cell - and had refused to eat at first.
In an interview with Central European News Munich animal shelter boss Karl Heinz Joachim, 64, said: 'I can confirm that the monkey is 14 weeks old and was apparently taken away from its mother when it was between nine and 10 weeks old.
'This is much too early.
'It's obvious that those who were looking after it should have known - we could not get him to eat until we gave him the cuddly toy he was still clinging to when he was delivered to us and you can see in photographs of Bieber that the only way they manage to keep it under control was by using the cuddly toy.
You can see pictures of him with two blonde girls and the cuddly toy. This obviously acts as a kind of surrogate parent, and as long as he can hold onto the toy he feels more secure and then started eating okay.'But he is clearly traumatised are being taken away from his family group.'
He added that as well as being separated from the mother it should be illegal to keep any of the monkeys in isolation from others of the same species - and added that in his opinion nobody who possessed a Capuchin monkey should have fewer than five others for their mental well-being.
In addition when interviewed on Tuesday morning he added that the future of the 14 week-old-male baby Capuchin monkey was unsure not only because of its psychological well-being but also because until now nobody from Bieber's management team or indeed the star himself had been in touch to enquire how it was doing.
Vet and animal expert Grabenwoeger confirmed that at 14 weeks it is still classified as a baby and won't be an adult until it reaches the age of around eight.
In captivity they typically live until the age of around 45, and early experiences with its mother and others in the family group help the baby monkeys to learn correct behaviour and sets them up for a stable development.
Bieber flew into the airport in Munich with the monkey on board his private jet without any of the necessary paperwork and it was confiscated by customs officials on Thursday.
A spokesman said that the monkey had been quarantined because it did not have the necessary paperwork specifying that it was free of diseases including rabies.
In addition there was no paperwork to prove the origins of the monkey - which is a protected species and needs to travel with certification that it was born in captivity and legally acquired and not for example as a result of being smuggled from its South American homeland.
Karl Heinz Joachim added that the way the monkey had been treated up until now being taken through a noisy airport and onto a jet that would have probably have left it terrified had shocked him.
He added: 'It happened and we are where we are now. What matters is what is best for the monkey in the future. I don't know what the laws are in America but I am surprised it was allowed to separate the mother and baby so young.'
A spokesman for the Munich customs office Thomas Meister confirmed that the monkey had been handed over to the quarantine station and that so far the necessary paperwork had not been provided so that they can authorise the monkey be released.
But he said there was no question that Bieber face prosecution as it was purely a question of the fact the missing paperwork meant that the monkey was a potential health risk and that as long as this would be provided in theory the monkey should be handed back to the star.
Karl Heinz Joachim added that as long as the cuddly toy was present the monkey was managing: 'The monkey seems to particularly like sweet things.
'Mainly that means apples, raisins and milk pudding. It is obvious it is used to human company. It keeps calling a lot for company - without its cuddly toy it won't eat at all.'adoptpets: It is so sad that a stuffed animal is basically what this baby monkey thinks of as his mommy. Justin is such a douche bag. He can't even be bothered to call about the welfare of this monkey. This monkey belongs in the wild with his mommy; not as a celebrity fashion accessory. The poor baby looks so sad stuck inside a cage in quarantine.
He´s such an Idiot.

It's been 5 days since we decided to break up. It's devastating I know. I tried to hold on but what's the point? He gave up. He's tired of all these shit that has happened. I was really wondering though… If he really loved me, he wouldn't give up. For the very last time that we talked, I could see nothing but anger in his eyes. I would like to give him a lot of rundowns on what I really felt during the last days of our relationship but I couldn't speak up, not for the fact that I was guilty nor I'm a scaredy cat but seeing him makes me feel vulnerable. Makes me feel weak. I should've slapped him hard, make him feel the pain he made me feel but no, I couldn't do it. All I could think was trying my best to save it all, how much I loved him and how much I would sacrifice just to make him stay… But thinking aside, thinking of how much he hurt me, how much he made lame reasons to put up with, I doubted if he truly loved me from the bottom of his heart. If he really did, he would choose to stay. He wouldn't change me. I wouldn't change for God's sake, if I'm "OA", "himi" and etc, I would stay like that for the rest of eternity. If he really loved me, he would choose to accept and understand MY FLAWS, MY IMPERFECTIONS. If he really loved me, he wouldn't get ANNOYED. "Na annoy nako nimo since ga cdu ka." Gaawd, if you told me that in the first place, I would gladly make some adjustments. How about you tell me that we wouldn't see each other even for just one week or two but NO. I never heard such thing but instead you continued showing your coldness. I couldn't bare the pain you've caused me that's why I needed help. I needed my friends but I NEVER told them to text you or make you feel pressured. Come to think of it. would they text you if you didn't do anything wrong? I see the point. You feel pressured because of my friends. You got tired of receiving long text messages. But you wouldn't receive such if you treated me right, dear. If only you knew what to do, if you only knew how to accept your faults, if you only knew how to handle your anger, if you only knew how to prove your Sorry's, if you only knew how to handle your pride. I would gladly accept you back in my life. But there's no point of turning back time cause all was said and done. The situation's getting blurry and I know you wouldn't come back. You chose to leave me in pain and leave me in this kind of situation. Even if you wouldn't say it, I know you're happy with your friends. I know you wouldn't trade them for the world. Nothing would ever break the relationship you have with your friends and I know that. I accept that. It cut me like a knife when you said you're tired of me and you needed to leave. I'm in an inevitable pain right now. The pain of knowing you would never come back because you're gone for good and you're happy with your life now.
I am starting to move on from what happened. Life goes on without you. I didn't regret meeting you because at some point in my life, you made me happy, the best way I could possibly be. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for the 4 months of happiness, tears, joy and being in-love. I loved you so much, Arp, from the bottom of my heart. I wish you nothing but the best in life. And if ever you will fall in love with a new girl, please take good care of her and make her feel loved always. Thank you for the memories, for the laughter. I will miss you. I will miss us. Goodbye.
Just go ahead, let your hair down.: 45 THINGS A GIRL WANTS, BUT WON'T ASK FOR:
1. Touch her waist.
2. Actually talk to her.
3. Share secrets with her.
4. Give her your jacket.
5. Kiss her slowly.
Are you remembering this?
6. Hug her.
7. Hold her.
8. Laugh with her.
9. Invite her somewhere.
10. Hangout with her and your friends together.
11. Smile…

A man is accused of choking a 3-month-old baby and then choking a police officer who arrested him Sept. 1 in West Jordan.
A neighbor at the apartment complex told police that the man and his girlfriend were arguing over the baby's car seat and tugging it back and forth, police wrote in charges filed Tuesday. The neighbor said he told the couple to stop shaking the baby in the car seat, and the mother let go, police wrote.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The father, 21, then took the baby into the apartment, and the neighbor saw him standing in the open door with his arm around the baby's neck in a "choke hold," police wrote.
Other neighbors said the man shoved the woman into a door so hard that it burst open. A neighbor said she also saw the man "throwing the baby seat around," police wrote. When she saw the man holding the baby, the baby had a "glazed-over look on her face," police wrote.
As one officer tried to arrest the man, the man shoved the officer. When another officer intervened, the man grabbed him around the neck, constricting the officer's airways until the first officer shocked the man with a Taser, police wrote. As a third officer led the man away, the man allegedly told witnesses that he would kill them when he gets out of jail — "Just wait and see." The man then kicked the officer in the leg, causing him to fall, police wrote.
The man, who goes by the nickname "Little Maniac," was charged with child abuse and assault against a peace officer, both second-degree felonies; assault by a prisoner and retaliation against a witness, both third-degree felonies; and misdemeanor charges of assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child and interference with an arresting officer.

Most of China's internet connection directed to home of shell corporation in Wyoming
January 22, 2014 - Ben Klein
"In one of the more bizarre twists in recent Internet memory, much of the Internet traffic in China was redirected to a mysterious company in Cheyenne, Wyo., on Tuesday.
A large portion of China's 500 million Internet users were unable to load websites ending in .com, .net or .org for nearly eight hours in most regions of China, according to Compuware, a Detroit-based technology company."
The Washington Post says about the house:
"As for the Wyoming house itself, it's not a bit unlike the wardrobe from C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia." It may look small on the outside, but it technically houses around 2,000 corporate entities and people. A 2011 Reuters report says the place is filled with numbered mailboxes and serves as the headquarters for Wyoming Corporate Services, a business that helps set up shell companies that exist only on paper."

While The Wanted ruled the charts in 2012 with the hits "Glad You Came" and "Chasing the Sun," the group hasn't been able to match the success of those songs with their follow-up singles, at least in the U.S. Now, the group has announced that they are going on hiatus when their forthcoming Word of Mouth tour wraps up.
In a statement posted on their official website , the group says, "This tour will be their last for a while as Tom , Max , Jay , Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to take time to pursue personal endeavors following the tour's conclusion. The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future. They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour."
The Word of Mouth tour gets underway next month and runs through May. As for the "personal endeavors," Siva Kaneswaran recently got engaged and signed a modeling deal; Max George has also done some modeling. It's not know what Tom Parker , Jay McGuinness and Nathan Sykes have in store.

Is having a social class inevitable?
Will the gap between rich and poor be omnipresent? Can it be abolished? If you propose socialism to get rid of the classes, are you very sure the gap will not come back? Should we then solve this problem or leave it be?
Topics: Communism capitalism imperialism socialism

Nov 6 2013: I can think of no society that had no social classes. An especially important point since we have numerous recent examples of societies that tried to create a classless society and failed miserably. Many people have commented that the rich-poor gap in the Soviet Union and communist China was actually larger than the systems communism replaced.
I think this is both a product of humans and economics. People want to form social groups, which are mutually exclusive with other social groups. And the nature of economics and logistics means you will always have more of one resource in one area than in another. It takes time for resources to move from the point of their creation. And we're not just talking about money, but goods and even intangibles like education. That will mean there will always be some sort of inequality in a system. So for all practical intents and purposes, social class in humans is basically a law of humanity, and we cannot will it away any more than we can will away gravity and fly.
This does not preclude socialism, especially the "weak" forms of socialism. I haven't read a lot of socialist literature, but in the "weak" forms of socialism in practice today, the objective of socialism is wealth redistribution not wealth equality. That's a big difference, as one is absolute and the other is relative. Wealth redistribution doesn't mean you try to make everyone the economic class or that there aren't rich or poor people and it doesn't even mean there isn't a pretty big rich and poor gap. It simply means that the amount of money is taken from the rich people is disproportionate to their representation in the population and "given" to less well to do people.
Marxists probably wouldn't describe the US as overly socialist, but none the less I think socialism is actually alive in well in the world economy today. Socialist tax systems don't prevent the rich and the poor, but they do insulate BOTH groups from the harm of too many of the other.
Yen YangNov 7 2013: i like the point you made: "wealth redistribution". i never really saw socialism in that perspective. i was more focused on its "wealth equality" agenda. thank you for that important insight :)
and by the way, what do you think of sweden and the other nordic countries? given that socialism is defined as the prioritization of the welfare of the people before the state, are these countries socialist? thank you.

Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Intestinal Fates
Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Intestinal Fates
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Disease Focus:
Intestinal Disease
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Statement of Benefit to California:
Progress Report:
Year 1The human intestine participates in a tremendous array of processes that are essential for daily life, including absorption of nutrients, secretion of hormones, and function as an immune organ against bacteria, viruses and parasites. Because of this, diseases of the intestine such as inflammatory bowel diseases, mesenteric ischemia, congenital short gut syndromes and trauma can produce severe disability and even mortality. In extreme cases where the degree of intestinal compromise is extremely severe, patients may need receive all of their nutrition intravenously, or even undergo intestinal transplantation. The purpose of this research is to induce human embryonic stem cells to develop into intestinal derivatives, to provide a replacement tissue these disorders of severe intestinal dysfunction. The first goal has been to place human embryonic stem cells into a nurturing enviroment, or niche, where they would be exposed to the same signals that intestinal cells receive in the human body. Accordingly, human embryonic stem cells have been injected into cultures of mouse intestine in which such signals are operative. Under these conditions, the embryonic stem cells incorporate adjacent to the mouse intestine as well as to supporting stromal cells, and undergo a dramatic change in morphology, although they do not acquire an intestinal identity. Injections of embryonic stem cells that have been induced to become endoderm, a precursor tissue to the intestine, appear more encouraging. The second goal has examined the ability of stimulation of the Wnt pathway to induce intestinal growth and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. These studies have confirmed that Wnt pathway stimulation greatly promotes growth of intestinal cultures, suggesting that such a strategy could feasibly promote the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to become intestine. Finally, the third goal is to develop niches for intestinal differentiation of human embryonic stem cells that are fully comprised of mouse tissue. Here, a variety of strategies of tissue preparation and culture are under evaluation.

I'm thinking of touring Scandinavia in May/ June. The obvious choice is Denmark as that appears to be the only country in the area that still has a ferry link to the UK. It's all in the very early stages at the moment so I really would appreciate any advice or suggestions.

OK, so I've not toured the place, but I did go to Malmo Sweden a couple of years back (went none stop from Calais, crossing from Germany to Denmark at Puttgarden). Then took the tunnel/bridge into Sweden. Was very nice.

What riding would you prefer ?I've been twice trough Denmark, and in terms of highways it really sucks compared to Germany, Sweden or Norway. I'm planning a big trip to Norway myself, first time with the Z1000SX, and just couldn't find any challenging roads in Denmark. (Denmark will be the only country that I only do by highway).In short: Denmark: not so much fun to ride, nature is not spectacular compared to Sweden, Norway. Rather flat country.

Norway and Sweden well worth visiting. Apart from the largely empty and often challenging roads campsites are generally reasonably priced and beautifully kept. Look out for cabins ('Stuga' in Sweden) on the sites that can be often cheaply rented by the night.

- 1st timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014Food and service was excellent. A bit pricey but worth it. Not much of a beer selection but seemed to have a large selection of wines and mixed drinks. Definitely suggest making reservations if going on a weekend night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Keeps us coming backReal4427VIPDined on 9/26/2014CRUDO is a great place to go locally for fresh food and great service.

- Great food, good atmosphereWarthogDined on 9/20/2014They do a great job of making incredibly tasty food, but the portions could be a bit bigger. The service is very good, ambiance is lively but classy, and I would recommend this to anyone for a really good night out.Special Features:

- A neighborhood gem.diningmavenDined on 9/13/2014We love this little neighborhood gem! You can always be sure the service is attentive, but not overly so, and the food consistent. Nightly specials from appetizers to entrees are always plentiful and delicious. We rarely choose something from the menu because the specials are always so enticing and never fail to please. The noise level is a little high throughout and the ambiance is lost in the enclosed outer dining area but these things are easily forgotten once the food arrives!Special Features:
- DeliciousPleasedDined on 9/13/2014I had the Scottish Salmon stuffed with crab. Absolutely, the best salmon I have ever tasted...moist, melt in you mouth. Our waiter was courteous and helpful. Will certainly go back many times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding dining experience!SugarDined on 9/11/2014The calamari and tortellini were fabulous! My daughter's favorite is the gnocchi. We tried their two happy hour specialty drinks and they were both tasty. Also had a glass of the happy hour red Montepulciano and it was very good. The staff all seemed to be very knowledgable, Michael was especially friendly and helpful. I have been telling all my friends about it and will definitely go back again and again. If you plan to go on the weekend make a reservation!Special Features:
- ShirleySjayVIPDined on 9/6/2014I can't say enough good things about my recent dining experience at Crudo. Outstanding in every respect. Service far beyond expectations. And the food was absolutely spectacular. Wine choices were plentiful and my Moscato was just perfect. No reason to go anywhere else for Itatalian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JCBinDallasDined on 9/4/2014The food was very good I loved the carpaccio with the crispy fried capers, great detail. Our server Quincy was terrific. Even though the wine we selected wasn't available he made a replacement suggestion that was just as good. My only complaint is the ambiance. Cement floors, stone and wood walls made the room noisy even with only half of the tables occupied.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/30/2014Food was great but didn't like our server. It was so hard to enjoy our dinner with our server constantly trying to upsale. Instead of waiting on us he was too busy bugging us about ordering this and that every 5minutes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stick to appsRedheadDined on 8/22/2014Carpaccio and watermelon salad were great. However, Pasta was drowned in watery sauceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TexasRoverDined on 8/16/2014We had a large group ( 10) for a birthday dinner. The service was impeccable and our waiter, James, went out of his way to make the evening special. The food is excellent and the menu diverse with interesting and innovative choices. I will recommend Crudo's to my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Return visits as good as the firstmsw1VIPDined on 8/15/2014We love this place. The food is terrific and shows creativity. Room is lively.

- Different and deliciousTaratiptoeDined on 8/9/2014If you're a Texan who is tired of the same old me-too tex-mex and steak houses, Crudo is the place for you. From smooth tomato-basil soup and gourmet salads to escargot, savory sandwiches and wood fired pizza with your choice of fresh toppings there's something on the menu for everyone. A great neighborhood find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic food + serviceagentkyuDined on 8/8/2014Need I say more? If you haven't been, you really need to get in there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crudo - a local gemCybersaviorDined on 8/8/2014We love this place. It's like having a bit of a Chamberlains, or Ruth's Chris and not having to drive to Addison. Superior service and the food is almost excellent.Special Features:
- Consistently great & unique foodTaterTotVIPDined on 8/1/2014This place is always great. It's small and always bustling during the busier hours. Everyone we have taken there seems to enjoy the food as much as we do. Great food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Johnny and the BoysLauraITGeekDined on 8/1/2014We have been going to Crudo's since their open, and they just keep getting better. The service is always spot on. They recently changed chefs, and you can tell the menu and food has been elevated to a higher level. I had the spinach salad, which was perfect for a hot summer night, and the Parmesan crusted chicken on a bed of polenta topped with an arugula salad was juicy and perfect. My partner had Kobe beef carpacio and the scallop special which came with lobster ravioli. She loved every bite. We finished off the night with the always delicious Limoncello cake. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingHighStandardsDined on 7/31/2014I have been to Crudo several times & have a great experience every visit. The service is always stellar. On this particular visit I was treating a friend to dinner for his birthday. The staff was more than accommodating when granting my request to have our bottle of wine chilled & already at our table when we arrived. Virtually all of the wait staff made a point to come by & tell him happy birthday. The acoustic guitarist came to sing him happy birthday & they remembered my call ahead dessert request & wrote happy 40th birthday on the plate in chocolate. The food was perfect as usual& my guest had a wonderful time. We had the prime rib crostini for the first time & it was impeccable! Thank you Crudo for a remarkable evening!Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerLE5876Dined on 7/26/2014This is becoming a tradition for me as this Is the second year I've chosen Crudo. The service is great, but the food is stellar. This time I had the Scottish Salmon with arugula and fennel. My girlfriend had the most tender and delicious Lamb Skewers I have ever tasted. Before that our appetizer was the most delicate Calamari plate. On it was an assortment of seafood delights and included a very spicy cocktail sauce (a bit too spicy for me) and a wonderful lemon aioli. I don't think I'll wait so long before going back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic birthday dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/19/2014We went to Crudo to celebrate my birthday. We had a large party of about 10 people. The food was amazing and we couldn't have asked for better service. The staff was so attentive that it made me feel like we were the only table in the place even though they were packed! Our server was funny. They even sent someone out to buy birthday candles for my cake because we had forgotten to bring them. This place is awesome! Would be great for a celebration or a romantic date night dinner. Oh! Ask them to for pineapple/tequila/jalepeno cocktail...you won't be sorry!Special Features:
- First time, will definitely returncicicookeDined on 7/19/2014I followed reviews from open table and yelp and requested James. Everyone was right... His service is impeccable. He was courteous, knowledgable and eager to make suggestions. When you make reservations, request his section. Like many noted, the place is small so the tables are rather close, but we were seated near the kitchen. It got us away from much of the bar noise but the trade off is that it's rather warm back there. I got used to it. Now the food... The prime rib crostini is a must. Out of this world delish. Loved the carpaccio and crab cakes. The other couple had sea bass w/risotto and seafood paellea (sp?). Both were incredible. Last but not least, the jalepeno & tequila martini is a must. Overall fantastic experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our fav's!Friscofan1Dined on 7/18/2014Best service and food around! Tried another special, and it was another hit! Food is always fresh, and very high quality. So glad they expanded it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- two out of twoSchaPOWDined on 7/17/2014This is the second time my wife and I have been there and the second was just as good, if not better, than the first. This time, we brought a friend. Carlos, our server, was very impressive. Loved the soup and appetizers. My wife's Sea Bass dish was incredible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJackDined on 7/16/2014The Food, Service, Cocktails and Staff were excellent. The staff makes you feel like they really appreciate your presence. One of Frisco's BestSpecial Features:
- New favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/5/2014This was our second visit to Crudo in recent weeks. Wow, what a find. We love this place. Our server, James really makes the experience. We have been fortunate enough to have James both times we dined. Great food and presentation. Vibrant scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- CrudoluvitDined on 6/27/2014Crudo continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the area. They are consistently good with their cuisine and service. They really go out of their way to make you feel llike a special customer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A winnerBrianDined on 6/23/2014Waiter was very knowledgable. Great service. Tons of specials. Very happy with both meals. It's a little above "average" pricing, so it won't be a regular place for us but will definitely hit it up from time to time. The only "negative" is the couple next to us asked their waiter one question and he blabbed non-stop for 10 minutes. No...literally...10 minutes. It was annoying/funny. After he left, all four of us looked at each other in amazement and had to laugh about it. Anyway, great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crudo dining experienceCybersaviorDined on 6/21/2014I had the seasonal Copper River Salmon. It was delectable and I recommend it. The wife had the trusty tenderloin steak (filet) which is always unreal quality for the price point. The drinks are premium priced and great. Crudo is small/intimate and a little crowded inside, meaning the tables are close together, but the ambiance is classy and subdued to compensate. We find the service consistently consultative and excellent. The close-to-home location makes it so we don't have to venture into Addison for great top-tier food. Stating the obvious, you should save room and share a dessert. Oh my. Goodbye, socks! ;)Special Features:

- First expereince and it was greatTXDogLoverVIPDined on 6/20/2014This was our first experience at Crudo & we were not disappointed. The menu has selections from creative to "meat and potatoes" so it can fit a variety of taste. We tend to like more creative food so it was nice to find a restaurant in Plano that is trying to expand the suburban pallet. The specials; watermelon, feta, & cucumber salad with a balsamic reduction and the salmon with a wild berry reduction were very good. The sommelier and our waiter were both excellent, making recommendations without being pushy. We had a very nice experience and will return to Crudo soon. This is one of only a handful of individually owned/operated dinner restaurants in Plano – we like to support non-chain restaurants.Special Features:

- Good findOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/7/2014Great neighborhood restaurant. The food was great and the ambience is nice. Our server was nice, but wasn't a great listener and did way too much talking. The next time we go we'll try sitting at the bar, or at the least having a different server. But we will definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
