Al Minhad Air Base
Located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Used by ADF elements during the invasion of Iraq, and subsequently as a base for RAAF AP-3C surveillance aircraft. The ADF's Middle East Area of Operations command shifted from Baghdad to Al Minhad in late 2008. By late 2009, Australian air, land and sea operations in support of Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Iraq and Afghanistan operations were based from Al Minhad, following a rationalisation of Gulf bases. This rationalisation shifted C-130 transport operations from Al Udeid in Qatar, training and acclimatisation from the Billabong Flats facility in Kuwait, and the MEAO headquarers from Baghdad. The consolidation was prompted by cost concerns, particularly with the shift of operational emphasis from Iraq to Afghanistan. Defence estimates in 2009 revealed a plan to spend $87.5 mn on upgrading the Dubai facility, with more than 500 ADF personnel expected to be permanently stationed there by the end of the year.
In September 2014 the Australian government announced the deployment of an ADF contingent as part of a US-led coalition to attack Islamic State in Syria and the Levant (ISIL) forces in Iraq. An RAAF element made up of up to eight Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets, a Boeing E-7A (737) Wedgetail airborne early warning & control aircraft, and an Airbus Defence & Space KC-30A (A330 MRTT) air-to-air refuelling tanker was to be based initially at Al Minhad Air Base.
The Qatar, Kuwait and Dubai bases were publicly known for many years – in both the Gulf region and in Australia – but never acknowledged by the Australian government due to "host nation sensitivities". In the earlier phases the Australian facility was linked to the Canadian Camp Mirage. The more recent expansion is linked to parallel French and Italian facilities development.

Visit to Al Minhad Airbase, United Arab Emirates, Defence Sub-Committee visit to the Middle East Area of Operations Report of the Delegation to the MEAO 14 to 18 May 2011
3.1 Al Minhad Airbase (AMAB) is located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is a host nation operational military base where Australia has its Middle East air head and HQ based on the invitation of the Government of the UAE. The ADF has been located at the airbase since 2003 when the airfield was utilised to base RAAF AP-3C Orion maritime surveillance aircraft. In late 2009 HQ JTF 633 moved to the AMAB from Baghdad as a result of the withdrawal of Australian combat forces from Iraq.
3.2 AMAB is also the ADF's base for the Reception, Staging, Onward Forwarding and Integration (RSO&I) of all forces deploying into the MEAO, with the exception of the Maritime Forces' ships company. This RSO&I provides Australian force elements and individuals with time to deal with jet lag, acclimatise to the conditions and it is where additional theatre specific training is conducted and additional equipment is issued.
3.3 The following ADF elements are based in the AMAB:
- Air Component Command
- Force Communications Unit, rotation 4 (FCU-4)
- Force Support Unit, rotation 4 (FSU-4)
- Combat Support Unit, rotation 5 (CSU-5)
Air Component Command
3.16 The Air Component Commander, Group Captain Heap, hosted the delegation airside prior to their departure into Afghanistan on 15 May. He provided a classified brief on the Air Component to JTF 633.
3.17 Air Component Command commands all Australian Air capabilities in the MEAO less the CH47's of the Army's Rotary Wing Group, the Army's Skylark UAV and the RAN helicopter aboard HMAS Stuart. The command is made up of:
- Air Component HQ: 133 personnel coordinate the operations of RAAF air elements, and liaise with Coalition air forces in the MEAO.
- AP-3C Orion: The RAAF provides two AP-3C Orion aircraft for overland surveillance of Afghanistan, and maritime surveillance of the Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.
- C-130J: The RAAF provides three C-130J Hercules aircraft which conduct troop and equipment transportation across the Arabian Gulf and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan they provide support to both Australian and Coalition Forces.
- C-17: The RAAF provides C-17 aircraft from Amberley (Queensland) for routine strategic lift support to Australian Forces in the MEAO including Afghanistan.
- Heron UAV Task Unit: Heron UAV based at Kandahar Airfield and provides overland surveillance in RC(S) Afghanistan.

Camp Mirage, Wikipedia
"Camp Mirage is a Canadian Forces forward logistics base located near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It was established in the fall of 2001, to support Canadian personnel deployed to the Gulf region. The exact location of Camp Mirage and the nature of its mission(s) is classified by the Canadian Forces. The Australian Defence Force as well as the New Zealand Defence Force also use Camp Mirage.
Canada Will Vacate UAE Base: MacKay, Josh Pringle, CFRA, October 11, 2010
Canada is being evicted from its semi-secret military base in the United Arab Emirates. Defence Minister Peter MacKay confirms Canada has been forced to vacate the base following the apparent failure of negotiations to expand aviation links between the UAE and Canada. The UAE had been seeking more landing rights in Canada for its national carriers. MacKay told reporters there have been discussions between the two countries, adding "at this point we will abide by the wishes of the Emirates, and … we will be leaving the base." The UAE base was to play a central role in the planned withdrawal of troops from Kandahar following the July 2011 end to the combat mission. The United Arab Emirates denied Mackay and Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Walt Natynczyk landing rights as they were flying home from a three-day visit in Afghanistan. A military source told The Canadian Press that the Gulf Nation closed its airspace to the Canadian plane, and it had to detour.
Australia commits combat aircraft to fight IS, Andrew McLaughlin, Flightglobal.com, 15 September 2014
The ADF will commit up to eight Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets from 1 Squadron based at RAAF Amberley near Brisbane, a Boeing E-7A (737) Wedgetail airborne early warning & control aircraft from 2 Squadron based at RAAF Williamtown, and an Airbus Defence & Space KC-30A (A330 MRTT) air-to-air refuelling tanker from Amberley's 33 Squadron. The ADF will also provide a task group element of about 200 Army special forces soldiers to provide training to anti-IS forces.
The Australian forces will be initially based at Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE, about 1,500 kilometres south-east of Baghdad. With most of the operations against IS expected to be conducted taking place north and west of the Iraqi capital, if they are committed to operations missions of five or more hours for the Super Hornet crews will be common.
Australia's basing its $87m secret on sensitive absurdity, Tom Hyland, Age, 2009-11-09
Don't tell anyone, but the Federal Government is spending $87.5 million of your money on a new Middle East military base. Not that it uses the word "base". Instead, budget papers say that the money is being spent on "command and control enhancements" which will "consolidate ADF supporting assets to one location". Nor will it say where the base is because under a deal with the host country, Australia agrees not to reveal it. Nor does it give the location of the old bases the new one is replacing. An ADF spokesman told The Sunday Age that Defence did not say where the bases are because of security considerations and "host national sensitivities".
The coyness has less to do with security and more to do with the "sensitivities" of the the Arab hosts, who don't want to advertise that they accommodate foreign troops and their hardware, including big, noisy aircraft with red kangaroos stencilled on the fuselage. The secrecy leads to a curious absurdity: details and images of most of the bases are on the internet, in the Middle East press and even on ADF websites. Australian ambassadors have openly said where they are. They are mentioned in Hansard. One of them has a big sign out the front, adorned with red kangaroos and the words "Billabong Flats".
Drawing on the public record, we can reveal that bases have been or are being closed in Kuwait and Qatar. The new one is at Al Minhad Air Base in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Australia's Middle East bases have mushroomed since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Now their focus is supporting the war in Afghanistan.
When the force support unit moves to Dubai, it will join Defence's regional headquarters and the RAAF. The Government has not announced this but Australia's ambassador to the UAE has, in an interview with Abu Dhabi's The National newspaper last month. The paper revealed that 250 ADF personnel have been stationed at Dubai's Al Minhad Air Base since December. Air force Hercules and crews completed their move from Qatar to Dubai last Thursday, joining an Orion detachment that has been there since 2003. By the end of the year, 500 Australians will be permanently based there, the numbers boosted by hundreds more as troops transit to and from Afghanistan.
There's a serious side to all this, said academic Richard Tanter, director of the Nautilus Institute at RMIT, which maintains an online database on Australian forces abroad. "Governments ought to be as transparent as possible, and secrecy should only be justified in serious cases of potential danger to persons," Professor Tanter said. "The double standard imposed by the UAE Government corrodes trust in co-operation between allies. "They are fooling no one, certainly not their own people. Forcing Australia to collude in what's a fairly destructive process is a hypocritical basis for public policy."
Australia's four Mideast bases to be combined to cut costs Mideast Aust, Max Blenkin (AAP), SMH, 2009-10-31
By the end of the year, Australia's four bases in the Middle East will have become one under a rationalisation program designed to cut costs and improve efficiencies for fighting the conflict in Afghanistan. The new facility will host RAAF AP-3C Orion maritime surveillance aircraft and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft as well as support troops serving in Afghanistan. It will also house around 500 Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel with capacity to accommodate another 500 as troops transit to and from Afghanistan. Australia is spending $87 million on new accommodation, hangars and maintenance facilities at the base. But under diplomatic agreements, the Australian government and defence force undertake not to publicly identify the Persian Gulf nation hosting the new facility, shared with New Zealand, Canadian, Dutch, British and US forces. Neither will Australia identify the other Persian Gulf nations in which troops have been based, although all are well known.
Defence Business: View from Canberra – Home away from home, Australian Defence Magazine, 1 March 2009
Since 2003, Australia has maintained three significant bases in the Persian Gulf region but these will soon become one. Two AP-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft and 170 personnel operate from Al-Minhad air base in Dubai, three C-130 Hercules transport and 160 personnel operate from the US Al-Udeid air base in Qatar and the Force Level Logistics Asset (FLLA) with 110 personnel operates from the major US facility at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
None of these are top secret and there is much information out there. But agreements with the host nation mean that in each case, the Australian government undertakes never to acknowledge that Aussies operate from their bases. In some cases agreements even stipulate that it never be acknowledged that there is such an agreement. Through a process now well under way, these will be amalgamated into one facility based in Dubai. Already the Australian region headquarters with around 70 personnel including the commander Major General Mark Kelly has relocated there from Baghdad. Construction is proceeding on a new facility. This is set to be a done deal by mid-year. Quite likely the upcoming Defence White Paper will spell out the complete rationale, without mentioning any particular nations.
Both economics and changed strategic realities make the case compelling. On one estimate, the RAAF could save well over 1,000 C-130 flying hours a year from this change. That's around 10 per cent of the entire 24 aircraft C-130 fleet flying hours allocation for a year, with potential savings on operating costs and maintenance running to many millions.
Under the new status of forces agreement between Iraq and Australia, the embedded personnel can stay on to July, with the prospect that a handful of specialists may remain after that date. SECDET operates under a diplomatic convention which allows a nation to provide security for their diplomats and mission. Afghanistan is now the main event with the Hercs routinely flying into Kabul, Kandahar and Tarin Kowt. But getting there is a roundabout route because Iran bars coalition overflights. The way in is out the Gulf then up across Pakistan.
Dubai is regarded as wholly welcoming with warm relations at all levels. For personnel, the place is perhaps the most western flavoured of any Arabian city. On the other hand, the no consuming booze on Australian Middle East bases rule will apply there. In Dubai, Australia will share the base with the Brits and Canadians, firm allies and good friends but not possessing the awesome resources which makes co-locating with the US such an agreeable experience. This also applies to FLLA in Kuwait, established as a staging post for Iraq, so that troops could acclimatise, undertake final medical checks and zero their weapons on the way in. FLLA handled mail, leave and resupply for those in Iraq while outgoing troops stayed there for three days, undergoing medical check and the psychological debrief and handing in kit before heading home. With number in Iraq down to low triple figures, there's simply no continuing need for FLLA in its present form. In tough economic times, this significant rationalisation of facilities appears to be irresistible.
Australia to double force in UAE base, Zoi Constantine, The National [UAE], 2009-06-28
Australia is planning to double the number of military personnel stationed at its permanent base in the UAE.?? Some 500 Australian Defence Force (ADF) staff could be stationed at Al Minhad Airbase in Dubai – where the ADF's regional military headquarters is based – by the beginning of next year, according to Jeremy Bruer, the Australian ambassador to the UAE. "There has been an increasing closeness between the Australian and Emirati militaries and we are now in the process of expanding our presence here," he said.?? The ADF's regional Middle East headquarters opened at Al Minhad at the end of last year, and there are currently 250 armed forces personnel stationed there. Prior to the opening of the base, the Australian military had maintained a small presence in the UAE.
Now all regional military operations, including those in Afghanistan, where Australia currently has some 1,500 troops, are run from the headquarters in the UAE, which has a joint army, navy and air force team. There is also an additional air force element, and support staff. The base supports surveillance and transport aircraft, as well as Australian naval vessels in Gulf waters. Australia is considering lending naval support to attempts to curb piracy.?? "It's our hub and our headquarters and will be more so in the future," Mr Bruer said. The expansion of the base was recently approved when the Australian federal budget was passed, with plans to incorporate further air, transport and logistics assets.
During a meeting of high-level officials and figures from both countries in Abu Dhabi in March, topics of discussion included defence and security. ??Currently, the two countries are party to a defence co-operation agreement, which Stephen Smith, the Australian foreign minister, said would "only be enhanced".
Australia's moves to bolster military ties with the UAE come as the Government pursues similar co-operation with France and Italy. Earlier this month Italy announced that it would ratify a defence treaty with the UAE by the end of the year. ??In May the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, was in the capital to inaugurate France's first military base in the Gulf region. ??Around 500 military personnel from the French navy, air force and army will be stationed there.
Mid-east military HQ goes to Gulf, Patrick Walters, Australian, 2008-09-22
The Australian Defence Force will embark on a major revamp of its command arrangements and logistical bases in the Middle East next year as the military winds down its involvement in Iraq and gears up for a long campaign in Afghanistan. The relocated joint taskforce headquarters will be much closer to Australia's main war effort in Afghanistan with the last of combat forces having been withdrawn from Iraq earlier this year. At the same time, Defence wants to consolidate its current support bases dotted along the Arabian Gulf into one key location. Since the 2003 Gulf War Defence has maintained separate bases in the region for its C-130 Hercules detachment, its AP-3C Orion surveillance aircraft, and its main logistical support base in Kuwait. The C-130 Hercules detachment with about 160 personnel is based in Qatar and the AP-3C Orions with 170 personnel are based in the United Arab Emirates.
The worst-kept secret in the Persian Gulf, Paul Koring and Borzou Daragahi, Globe and Mail, 21 May 2005.
"Camp Mirage is on Minhad Air Force Base in the desert south of the glittering port city of Dubai, one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates.Camp Mirage, the Canadian Forces forward logistics base in the Persian Gulf, is real. Only the notion that it can be kept under wraps, cherished in some Ottawa quarters, is an illusion. Officially, Camp Mirage is "somewhere in the Gulf region" and the location is "top secret" because Canada's hosts have been assured it will not be disclosed. "We do not say where we are out of respect for the host nation," is the official line delivered by several Canadian Forces spokesmen. "We do not talk about the location of Camp Mirage."

Ever since its demise at the hands of NBC executives, David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman pilot has been one of the hottest "gets" in Hollywood. Once the show failed to get picked up to series I started calling my contacts and was met, almost universally, with "I don't have it, but I'm trying to get it."
Persistence pays off and eventually I got my hands on a copy of the pilot.
(For contextual purposes, you might want to check out my review of the script before reading my review of the pilot.)
For all its problems I actually enjoyed the Wonder Woman pilot script that made the rounds and was looking forward to seeing it brought to life. In the time since that first draft was written a lot of work must have been done because what we have in the actual pilot is a leaner and meaner version of the script that I read. While the overall plot is the same, there must have been a page one rewrite because every scene has been rewritten, reworked, or excised completely. (In fact, a friend of mine who works as a writer in Hollywood told me back in March that the script had been completely overhauled.) Whether it happened in the writing or in the editing, the result is the same: a whole lot of fat was cut.

Dear Bhasu Ghosh Prabhu
To be honest with you, I am a bit surprised by the name of the festival as mentioned in your presentation:
"Sadhu Sanga annual festival of Russian devotees", as generally "saddhus", out of humility, do not advertize themselves as such…
So, maybe it is an approximative translation from Russian, is it?
As it is, we do not really understand whether the saddhus are the Russian devotees gathering together annually ("of Russian devotees") or whether the senior devotees present are to be understood to be the saddhus (which may jolly well, after all, be the case!).
Hoping this finds our dear and respected erudite scholar well,
Your menial servant in the service of Srila Prabhupada
Das dasanudasa
Puskaraksa das
PS: who is H.G. Acharya Sanskritananda Prabhu (whose name is displayed on a door) ?
Is he a Russian devotee ?
Many of the pictures taken of the festival that I uploaded to the internet were taken by my translator during the festival, Bhakta Ilya Korostov, of Rostov-on-Don, in South Russia. He deserves much credit for taking the pictures and for translating my lectures during the four seminars I conducted at the festival. I owe him a debt of gratitude! "Spaceba bolshoye" ["many thanks"] to Bhakta Ilya! :-)

September 15, 2014
Two new laws went into effect in July impacting Virginia drivers. Both focus on distracted driving.
The first was the highly anticipated new texting and driving regulations, and the other focused specifically on new teen drivers and who they can have in the car.
"In 2012, according to the DMV, 20 percent of crashes were caused by distracted driving," police spokeswoman Carter Johnson said. "That's a number of things, texting while driving, the music's too loud, the number of passengers in the vehicle."
The new law, called the provisional licensee law, aims to curb distracted driving, especially in rookie drivers, by limiting the number of passengers allowed in their vehicle.
"You want to have someone in the car with you who has little more experience, and you want to eliminate the distractions the passengers provide in the vehicle," Johnson said.
Under the new law, drivers under 18 in their first year can only have one passenger under 21, unless a parent is in the car.
After the first year, and if the driver is still under 18, they can have up to three passengers under 21, only if they are heading to or from a school function.
Some teens say they support the new law.
"Everybody suffers from the idea of distraction, and singling yourself out and thinking you're invincible to that, is not a good idea," said 14-year-old Nico Zuffoletti.
But others are not convinced.
"It lowers the level of trust with drivers. I don't say I don't like it, but it's interesting," said 16-year-old Christopher For.
Either way, police say it's important for teens to know and understand the law.
"As a new driver, they should look into the law, they should read these guidelines, and make sure they are complying," said Johnson.

A Superman's Merlot! A 2/3 - 1/3 blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and just a splash of Petit Verdot, the depth of color makes for a virtually opaque appearance. Ripe red cherry, cassis and a trace of cedar grace the aromatic medley. Sweet rich textures flood the palate with berry, chocolate and espresso flavors framed by fine mouthwatering tannins. These flavors linger in an exceptional finish that extends for several minutes.
"The 2002 Reserve Claret possesses a lush texture as well as a huge, upfront, flamboyant bouquet of vanilla, spice box, blueberries, white chocolate, licorice, and toasty oak. This 400-case blend of two-thirds Merlot and one-third Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant yet incredibly rich, dense, and seamless. It is drinking beautifully, and should continue to do so for 12-14 years."

Pride Mountain Vineyards is situated on the Summit Ranch, one of Napa Valley's oldest grape producers atop Spring Mountain.

Today, Pride Mountain Vineyards produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Viognier and limited bottlings of Syrah and Sangiovese.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

The 'C' Word
My latest post in Provoketive Magazine, just published today, wasn't actually a post I wanted to write. It may be a bit too lengthy, it raises questions to which I don't have answers, and it gets personal. A little too personal, if you ask me.
While I have tended to write about my experience with that ministry frequently on his blog, I don't think I've ever really confronted the "is it or isn't it" question that I raise in this article. For one thing, it's embarrassing… how did I manage to get caught up in that for 8 years? Secondly, I don't want to be defined by my experience there. But, the thing is, I did spend 8 years there. That's almost a quarter of my life. Naturally, a lot of my stories are going to be from there.
A teaser:
There's a four-letter word getting thrown around a lot lately. It's a word I've heard used flippantly, jokingly, and disparagingly. Admittedly, sometimes it seems like the most accurate, albeit inflammatory, word to use. Often this word is spoken, perhaps rightly so, by broken and hurting people out of pain and frustration. It's a word that was used by a commenter on my previous post in Provoketive Magazine, Slap On a Little Lipstick, You'll Be Fine. If I am being completely honest, it's a word I've used, sometimes quickly out of anger, and a lot more cautiously after great deliberation.
That's right, I am talking about the 'C' word: Cult.
Here's a link to the whole dang thing: http://provoketive.com/2012/01/16/the-c-word/
I would like to say, while many of my humorous stories from my time at the ministry are negative, I do have positive memories. I will try to share some of those… maybe even later tonight.

Personal Injury Advice – Have You Been Involved In A Road Traffic Accident?
If you have sustained personal injury and financial loss then the first thing you should do is contact a specialist personal injury solicitor. If you have been involved in an accident then you have three years from the date of the accident in which to claim compensation.
At Duncan Gibbins we have a specialist team waiting to take your call six days a week, and can provide personal injury advice on all aspects of your claim for compensation. After a road traffic accident it is advisable to follow these steps:
- If you are well enough to do so, exchange details with the other party involved in the accident. This should include their name, address, vehicle, registration and insurance details.
- Cooperate with emergency services if they attend the scene. You may need to rely on a police statement to prove your claim at a later date.
- If there are any witnesses to the accident, try and gain their details, again you may have to rely on their statement to prove your case.
- If you suspect that you have been injured in the accident then it is advisable to seek medical advice. It is better to be safe than sorry and medical records will help to document your injuries.
Personal Injury Advice – Have You Been Involved In An Accident At Work?
Your employer has a legal duty to make sure that your place of work is a safe and secure environment. If you have sustained injury as a result of an accident that was not your fault then you may be able to claim. After an accident at work:
- If you are able to do so, report the incident to your supervisor or manager.
- Make sure that the accident details are entered into the accident book. Only sign the book if you agree with the description of the incident.
- Gain details of any witnesses that attended the accident as this will help to prove your claim if the circumstances are disputed.
- Do not feel awkward about pursuing a claim against your employer. They will have employer's liability insurance to protect themselves in case of accidents and it is illegal to discriminate because you are making a rightful claim to compensation.
Personal Injury Advice – Claiming Financial Losses
A claim for personal injury compensation should put you in the same financial position that you were in before the accident happened. Therefore, you should be entitled to claim back any financial losses that you have incurred as result of the accident. This could include:
- Loss of earnings
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
- Cost of care
- Future losses
A specialist solicitor will be able to provide personal injury advice to ensure that you claim back all of the compensation that you deserve. Call Duncan Gibbins Solicitors today on 0800 0193 515 for a free, no obligation discussion about your claim for personal injury compensation.
Alternatively fill out the claim form on this page and a member of our team will call you back to provide personal injury advice at a time to suit you.

Brittany, 28, Colorado
I was 21 when a routine physical showed that I was pregnant. I fainted when I found out. I was on the Depo-Provera shot and in a committed relationship. I was also going to college, working full time and decided to end the pregnancy. I wasn't ready physically, emotionally or financially to be a parent. I spoke to a woman at the clinic who asked if I needed an escort from my car on the day of my appointment. My aunt and best friend were accompanying me, so I said no. But then she told me to call if I was having trouble. I asked, "Why?" She paused and said, "Just please call if you are having any issues."
I was the first appointment that day and noticed a few men, all in their 50s or 60s, milling around the parking lot when we pulled in. Once we got out of the car, one made a beeline for us with a fistful of pamphlets. My aunt said, "Thanks, but no thanks," and he got irate, screaming, "How can you do this? You're killing your baby to continue on your whore lifestyle, you jezebel!' Suddenly we were surrounded by five other men — that's when the baby-doll parts starting hitting us.
They had a box filled with torn apart baby dolls covered with red paint. All three of us were hit — in the head, chest, torso. As they were pelting us, they yelled, "This is what you're doing to your baby! Look at the street! It's strewn with the blood of your baby. That's your baby scattered across the street!" It was surreal and terrifying at once. And we still had to cross a wide street to enter the clinic. Then they shouted at my aunt, "Grandma, why are you letting her do this? Tell her to give her baby up for adoption!" My aunt responded, "First of all, I'm not old enough to be a grandma. Second, come talk to me when you have a uterus and a vagina."
I thought I'd feel better once inside the clinic. But as I sat in the waiting area, I could hear every single girl get out of her car and do that walk of shame. That was the worst part of the day. When the doctor pulled up later that morning, there was such a frenzy the building almost shook. I heard them shouting, "Murderer!" and "Butcher!" and my heart started racing all over again.
I was the first to see the doctor. After he went over the procedure with me, he asked, "Do you have any questions?" I said, "Are they going to be there when I leave? — not, "Is there any pain?" or "How long will it take to recover?" He said, "No. After I arrive, they disperse." That was true, and I was grateful. I would have stayed until they left. I couldn't go through that again.
But there was one good thing the protesters did that morning: They convinced me I was making the right decision. I bet every single woman inside that waiting room felt the same way, even though none of us spoke. We'd all just been through the most heinous experience, but there was a feeling of quiet satisfaction among this group of women amidst the horror. I thought, "If I can make it through that, I can make it through the rest of this day.""
6 Women on Their Terrifying, Infuriating Encounters With Abortion Clinic Protesters - Cosmopolitan (via iamnotafeministtbh)
I have not needed an abortion in my lifetime. But I have friends who have chosen to have them, and I have spoken to women from my mother's generation, from my grandmother's generation, who made the same choice. And no one, ever, out of all the women I have ever met, has called it an easy decision, or said "Gosh, I wish someone had been there to call me a murderer and a whore before I made this choice."
This isn't about "saving babies," or saving souls, or anything like that. If it were, they would be out there with people who needed babies, playing make-a-match with potential adoptive parents. They would be out there with boxes of condoms and spermicides, to make sure this didn't happen again. And they would be out there with respect, because if you disrespect my choices when they will define my entire life, there's no way you're ever going to respect them later.

You have likely learned the first cognitive techniques for overcoming your shyness, then created resources to relax and control anxiety behaviorally. Many know how to make a hierarchy of situations in which they experience fear. It is time to learn how to cope with those fears and start creating a better social circle, in order to get girls phone numbers.
This may be used for any type of phobia or situation that creates anxiety. Apply your techniques to situations in which women avoid talking to you, do not let you ask them out, or make suggestions, give them compliments, etc. The important thing here is that you do not want to be a playboy.
Being a person which attempts for seduce any type of woman at any time isn't an optimal image to work with. The thing you need is to learn how to produce the necessary conditions to handle as well as overcome your personal nervousness when it comes to dealing with the women. To accomplish this, discover ideas to aid you in avoiding unpleasant conditions.
It is good to write your worries down in a log table, so that you can track your social control. There are relaxation techniques, distraction, and anchors one can learn. They will help you to control your anxiety levels much better, helping you rise in your social network, by learning to cope and not experience discomfort and avoidance.
The objective of this particular framework, is for you to create a pleasant atmosphere around yourself and making sure that your likability as well as popularity keep increasing. Because of exactly what's essential in most of these conditions, begin to develop the skills as well as mind set to handle people well. Nevertheless, there may still be times when you feel discouraged and in these moments, it is vital to not go into a regression.
Regardless of how significantly anxious you've become, it doesn't produce any kind of negative results in the body. This is a natural reaction to threat (imaginary in this instance). Which works on you to deal with or get away from uncomfortable times.
The important factor is that it does not generate any harm to your body. Even though you feel like dying of fear from the girls who are in front of you, or you are dying of fear for inviting one to a hotel for sex, nothing will happen. The secret of learning to tolerate the anxiety is that it is a response of the body, which is depleted with time and social status.
When you happen to share a social connection with beautiful women, the whole idea of hunting for talent in clubs becomes redundant. Do not expect them to come to you, rather make the effort to go to them. There are many love system reviews that will help confirm this fact.
Dating isn't only a game any more, it's a type of social art, or specialty and those with the popularity and confidence seem to rule, almost erasing the advantages looks provide to some men. Everything you have to do is grow your circles of friends and acquaintances. The worst thing that can happen is rejection, but you will notice it will become a non-factor over time, as long as you persevere.
A positive mental state is a very important part of the attraction game. A man with a positive mind set is someone that is highly attractive to women. It is very important to note that if you do not develop this quality, your success with women and relationships will simply be zero.
In your everyday living, people face negative and positive conditions, the real difference comes from the technique you utilize to manage these kinds of situations. A lot of guys focus almost exclusively on what is wrong, rather than what is right. A remarkably attractive person is going to be one which encounters problems and confidently takes them in his stride.
Almost everything is dependent upon the strategy you have, you'll just about all experience negative and positive points all through your life, but it's you that chooses if you'll feel unhappy about it. By no means allow an external scenario to determine your own psychological condition. In case a lady rejects you and you are feeling sad about this, you're causing an external scenario to determine your psychological state.
You are the master of how you feel and how you see life. If you do it in a positive way, this will increase greatly your attractiveness to women. Many men wonder if there is something that is key to seducing a woman, a factor, advice, anything. Great social circle mastery will do that for you.
Although in reality there are many factors that come together as a whole for a man to be highly attractive to a woman, the fact is that there is a key factor to consider in order to seduce a woman. This must be had by all men, if you do not, just never expect to have success with females. The big trick is a positive mental state and good handling of social interactions.
Presently, there's an incredibly essential method that most women in no way want boys to be talking about. Make a list of things you insist will have to take precedence over any female. Unless you are organizing a marriage proposition, letting her think that she is the center of your life makes you feel clingy and drives her away very quickly.
That thought of being attached is what makes men fail with women. You have to know that they think very differently to guys. The day that a woman has the full and complete confidence that she is most important thing to you in life, so much so that without her, you can not live, you have lost the game and there is nothing that interests her anymore. Playing the game of not being easily impressed will make sure you collect girls phone numbers literally at every step.

Happy Monday to you!
This month I am participating in a daily photo challenge hosted again by Our Wired Lives. I enjoyed the challenge so much last year and am looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this year! My plan is to center my post each day around the picture so say day 10 the prompt is favorite and I take a picture of my favorite mug the post will tell why.
So with that in mind today was self portrait and so I took some pictures in my apron to correspond to Meals On Monday, and guess what I look super fat in my apron so those were axed!
Now for the food!
Sunday: Shepards Pie – Recipe coming soon because we ate the whole thing I might have liked my plate!
Monday: Hamburgers and Surprise Pasta – This week breakfast for dinner was switched to lunch so I can use up some leftovers for dinner
Tuesday – Shredded Pork Enchiladas
Wednesday – Spiced Ground Lamb and Cous Cous with Bell Pepper, Salad Cheese (as far as I know this is a Swedish thing but it is awesome and like Feta Cheese but cheaper, Lemon and Parsley
Thursday – Curried Sausages with Rice
Friday – Chili Cheese Fries

There has never been a more humbling time,
Were the thoughts running through my mind!!!
I felt so vulnerable and afraid, like I was staring into the dark but all I could see was "Light".
And it was the most beautiful light God could have blessed me to see!
Made in his image and given to me.
And in that moment my fear subsides,
Finding myself paralyzed looking into those eyes
The more I looked the more I fell in love
Holding on to this miracle nervously but thanking God above!!!
Praying for wisdom,
For strength,
For knowledge to withstand challenges and sacrifices unlike no other!!!
Because those things and more are what it takes to be a MOTHER.

|Editor acts as judge and jury for Harrison water dispute
|Written by Joe Awad
|Tuesday, November 06, 2012 11:37 PM
Second of three parts, Analysis - Joe Awad
The water war between the city of Harrison and Greater Cincinnati Water Works is not short on drama. After 12 hours of testimony and scads of legal documents, I pity the judge who must make the decision of who will provide water service to three disputed areas. Or perhaps I envy her. After all, it is, to use the pat phrase, a precedent-setting case.
A Harrison victory will, at minimum, create a ripple effect throughout Ohio and perhaps the nation. It might even result in a tidal wave. The common practice throughout the country is for the county of standing to provide water to its unincorporated areas, but Harrison contends Hamilton County has no such privilege because it essentially provides no water to anyone.
If I were Municipal Court Judge Jody M. Luebbers, I would narrow down the messy battle to these five essential questions, in tandem with narrow prodding:

E. H. Shackleton: Shackleton: The Antarctic Challengeby Kim Heacox
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In August 1914, as World War I began, Ernest Shackleton and a small band of explorers sailed for Antarctica aboard a ship called Endurance. Few expeditions have been more aptly named — and few leaders more courageous or inspirational. For two years, Shackleton and his men battled the elements in a saga that nearly defies description. Amazingly, not a man was lost...but their extraordinary feat was eclipsed by the Great War, and for three quarters of a century was all but forgotten. No longer: interest in Shackleton and Antarctica has never been greater. Yet even now, he is remembered for only one extraordinary expedition. But there is far more to Sir Ernest Shackleton — and this wonderful book tells the whole story.
His first encounter with the Antarctic was with Robert Scott, who would become his foremost rival. On his second attempt, he turned back within reach of the South Pole, preferring to save himself and his men rather than pushing on and dying on the return trip, as his former mentor Scott famously chose to do. "Better a live mule than a dead lion," he remarked to his wife upon his return, but in the end he died in the Antarctic that called him back, and back again, and he was buried there at his wife's behest.
Now, at last, here is a book that tells the whole story of an explorer who ranks with Ferdinand Magellan, Christopher Columbus, James Cook, and Sir Richard Burton in his determination to follow his vision and his dream.
Shackleton: The Antarctic Challenge is adventure literature par excellence: a remarkable portrait in words and arresting images of an unforgiving world and a small, indomitable fraternity who refused to surrender to relentless hardship.
Through thrilling narrative and 100 exceptional photographs, this stunning photobiography reveals the compelling and dramatic life of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and the unforgiving nature of the land he braved.
Photographs depicting the Antarctic landscape, accompanied by harrowing diary accounts from the crew, enliven this vivid retelling of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton's grueling two-year voyage to frozen hell and back again. BOMC.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 214) and index.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Long-time Lansing council member, Sandy Allen, died early Tuesday morning.
She previously acted as the secretary to a Michigan Senator and was an executive secretary at Michigan National Bank. Allen then served as a council member for four terms.
Fellow council member Carol Wood said she was instrumental in getting the south-side community center up and running. In honor of her work within the community, the Lansing City Council presented Allen renamed the Lansing School District's Alfreda Schmidt Southside Community Center's Community Room on Monday.
"Sandy Allen was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her dedication to public service was both remarkable and impactful, and her legacy will be long-remembered," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero in a release.
Allen was a mid-Michigan native, having graduated from Eastern High School, Lansing Community College and Michigan State.
She is survived by three children and five grandchildren.

As wine-lovers, it's easy to over-think the way we pair foods and wines. Certainly, a great match -- such as a juicy steak and a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or zippy fresh goat cheese and a racy Sauvignon Blanc -- can bring exciting revelations in how wine makes food taste better, and vice versa.
But there are times when it's just as important to match the wine to the occasion itself -- and to the guests who will partake in the fun. Weddings and New Year's Eve celebrations, for example, demand a sparkling wine no matter what's on the menu. Summer barbecues plead for lighter wines, even if you're serving big red meats. And if your grandmother drinks only White Zinfandel, it doesn't make sense to bring on a Cab with her steak -- pour her a glass of the pink if that's what she wants.
Thanksgiving is one of those occasions where it might be more important to look at who's coming rather than what's on the table. After all, can you really find a wine that matches everything from Aunt Georgia's creamed onions to Cousin Sharon's oyster dressing to the morel mushroom quiche your sophisticated neighbor brings to the spread?
Of course, one strategy is to reach for Pinot Noir -- it's one of the most versatile, food-friendly wines around, and it likely won't clash with anything. With their juicy fruit, bright acidity and silky texture, Pinots from California, Oregon and New Zealand can be out-and-out crowd-pleasers -- perfect when you're hosting a houseful.
Indeed, Pinot has been the shoo-in Thanksgiving wine for a few years running. But if you're ready to veer off that path and want to match your wines more specifically to your guests, try these choices.
Sweeter Wines for the Less Experienced: Your great aunt Sally may have sipped a few highballs in her day, but she may not yet be a wine-lover. Newcomers to the wine world often prefer fruitier, sweeter wines, so for that crowd, stock up on White Zinfandel, sweeter styles of Riesling (check the label -- those with under 10% alcohol will be noticeably sweet) and off-dry styles of Chenin Blanc. For a little sparkle, offer Moscato d'Asti.
Beaujolais for Everybody: Few wines in the world can please serious wine connoisseurs and casual wine drinkers alike, yet Beaujolais -- a French wine made from the Gamay grape -- is a real charmer in both realms. Aficionados enjoy it for its complex minerality, while less-experienced drinkers love its vivacious cherry-berry notes and charismatic hints of flowers and spice. Everyone will appreciate the way this lighter-bodied wine doesn't weigh them down when paired with heavy holiday foods.
Invite Some Italians to the Party: It turns out that two classic Italian wines match Thanksgiving beautifully. Pinot Grigio, a white with mild peach and citrus notes, will provide an appealing pre-dinner drink. When it's time to carve the turkey, Sangiovese can be counted on for a firm acidity that makes it especially food-friendly. Its tart cherry flavors will provide a refreshing counterpoint to the heavier foods on the table. If you prefer all-American wines to go with this quintessential American holiday, remember that California producers make some great versions of both of these wines.
