Dear Charlie Sheen,
Can you point to yourself in the photo below?
No? What about this one?
I didn't think so. You are not a founding member of the Brat Pack. You did not rock a Micky Mouse shirt while wielding a switchblade in The Outsiders. You did not say, "Two hits. Me hitting you. You hitting the floor" to John Bender in The Breakfast Club. And don't even get me started on St. Elmo's Fire. In short, Emilio rules and Charlie drools. Your career is totally eclipsed by your brother's, and this includes the Mighty Ducks trilogy! Where do you get off claiming all these wins?
Typically, when someone says they're winning, they are referring to some type of competition. Let's be professional and do a tally:
- Born Martin Sheen's son (good job!)
- Hot Shots: Part Deux.
- You are the third most talented actor in a family of three famous actors.
- Now that Two and a Half Men is cancelled, you are forever locked in a three-way-tie with Jim Belushi and Reba McEntire for shittiest sitcom loosely based on the personality of an overrated celebrity. I'm sorry Reba, but seriously, acting is not your thing.
- You are moderately impressive at abusing substances, but you're not the winner. Stephen King wrote Cujo while he was blacked out. Cujo! Insulting poor Duckie from a script you didn't write while you nurse a hangover does NOT compare.
- You're pretty crazy, but you're not the craziest. Paula Abdul out-crazies you on any given day before breakfast.
- Paying women to hang out with you and calling them your "girlfriends" is just embarrassing. Playmates, Sheen. You didn't invent it.
You're just a garden variety asshole. You do not bleed tiger blood and you are not a drug. I appreciate your frequent references to warlocks (people just don't do that enough), but the jig is up. You better call CBS and apologize because you are one bump away from becoming Dr. Drew's next victim.
Thanks for playing,
So What? You're Famous.

Blythe Station Border Patrol agents seize 47 pounds of meth
- Details

- Written by Border Scope
Blythe, California - Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrested one man and seized 47 pounds of methamphetamine yesterday.
Blythe Station agents assigned to an immigration checkpoint at Highway 95 referred a Mazda SUV to secondary inspection after a canine alerted to the vehicle. Using a fiber optic scope to see inside the suspect vehicle's gas tank, agents saw what appeared to be cellophane packages.
A mechanic was called in to remove the gas tank. Afterwards, agents discovered 12 cellophane packages of methamphetamine worth an estimated $141,000. The vehicle and drugs were seized.
The Border Patrol's Yuma Sector effectively combats smuggling organizations attempting to illegally transport people and contraband through southwestern Arizona and California. Citizens can help the Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection by calling 1-866-999-8727 toll-free to report suspicious activity. Callers can remain anonymous.

Brynn Devonald ► Vampire ► 1007 (appears 20) ► Claire Holt ► OC
I might let you break my heart if I don't break it first.
- Originally named Brynn Cadwgan, born in 1006 in Ireland.
- Changed by an unknown vampire, having no memory of when it happened.
- Travels alone, though has met many other supernatural creatures over the years.
Brynn Devonald dates back to about as old as her fake Welsh surname- 1007 years old. Growing up consisted mostly of simple chores around her home with her beautiful blonde mother. There wasn't much to do for girls at the time. Education certainly was not an option. Every day was routine. Her father would go to work, her older brother Joshua would go to school and when they came home, supper was ready and on the table. In secret Joshua would let Brynn look at his school books. He'd taught her very minimal reading along with other things. Brynn was appreciative, knowing Joshua would have received a beating if he was caught. The only reason Brynn felt guilty was because she knew her mother had not been as fortunate as to receive schoolbook knowledge from anyone; at least Brynn had Joshua. When work indoors and outdoors was not needed, she spent her time with her brother and neighbors running around outside, playing games. Even when she turned 18 and her father told her to stop with the child's play, Brynn couldn't help but want to run away with her imagination and play pretend. The evenings were spent around the fireplace where her father would either sing a song or tell a story before bed. These were some of Brynn's favorite past times. Family was all she knew.
This little sister was turned at age 19, on the stroke of midnight that turned her 20: her birthday. Disregarding her mother and father's regards of going out to play, especially late at night didn't mean much on such a special occasion. She and her brother raced to the field out behind their home. There were holes in her memory from the occasion. She'd tripped and fallen to the ground. That's when it all went black. When she woke up, everything felt different. Her head was hazy her ears were ringing and everything appeared sharper. "You let them out at this time of night?" She heard her father's voice accusingly speak to their mother, but how? They had over an acre of land and the home was only distantly viewable. Brynn turned around to see her brother. It appeared to have hit his head on a rock and was gushing of blood. Suddenly an overwhelming urge to attack him was taking over her body. She needed to get out of there before she disturbed his body. Her parents had each other, she decided, and fled. Back then as far as anyone knew Brynn Cadwgan was missing. Truthfully Brynn Cadwgan became Brynn Devonald.
A vampire older than Anastasia, but morals much looser. The first woman to turn Henry down, and Diana's first lesbian encounter. The first fellow vampire Flora met once the imp turned her, and has quite the experience with other werewolf packs. She enjoys succubus sex and has been attempting to taste their blood for centuries (having her throat grabbed every time she'd tried to during sex) and finding no succubus evil enough to let her taste for fear that she, like all vampires, will become addicted, tried to give Eriq a run for his money during his ripper days in an attempt to outweigh his true love for Anastasia and bitter she couldn't sway his heart like she did all the rest. The only thing she hadn't done, loved or learned enough about over the years happened to be witches. Terrified would be the only word used to describe her affiliation with these supernatural creatures although she would never admit it. They seemed to be the only ones to have power over her despite how much younger they may be. Age and experience didn't seem to matter as much as bloodline, knowledge and practice.
She lived in Brisbane, Australia for quite some time, starting in the 1700's, where she would train herself and eventually develop the Australian accent the blonde was known for. Now in a town called Maddox, Brynn was being forced to face every past participle she'd never planned on encountering ever again. The only word she could use to describe it? Fun. However, that would most likely prove to be the opposite if she didn't play her cards right. Her worst trait by far is her adoration for humans. Despite the inability for a human and vampire relationship to work the idea had always tempted her. She'd had flings with some and fell in love with most, but killed them all. It isn't her only unredeemable characteristic, though. Vain, immature, stubborn, spiteful and quick-tempered enough to pass for a vampire much younger than she actually was- somehow she managed to let people in just long enough to forget all of these things just before snapping their necks.
Like most villainous characters, she possessed charm and wit and beauty all in an alluring, irresistible fashion. She proved to be callous. Underneath said exterior was a girl bitter about the human existence she was denied and all that it had to offer. She would never age and potentially never die, which meant that peace could never be an option. As long as she was alive she would always know pain and loss and sorrow and to die would be no use to her now without a soul. Until someone human or otherwise could prove that someone could truly love her, a love that was unconditional, despite even her cruelest manipulation, Brynn would never know what it means to be truly happy. All she longed for was a love that would consume her. It was the only thing to bring out the human- Brynn qualities she secretly possessed: understanding, comfort, thoughtful, affection, forgiving. Underneath her rough exterior, Brynn was worthy of love for all of the right reasons rather than the mask and general facade she put on to receive it. It was just a matter of time before someone tapped into that, but she was afraid no one might ever care enough to.
- Met Henry Rudd and Diana Ruhl years ago, during the 1920's. She messed with both of them, constantly flirting and turning down Henry, while she had numerous hook-ups with Diana. Eventually she got bored and left them, but is happy to see her old friends in the same town as her.
- She had first met Alexander Krevitz when he was human, and instantly there was something between them Brynn couldn't deny. But she refused to turn him, though eventually he would go to an imp and turn himself anyway. For a long time they traveled together, but eventually an argument broke the two up - and when Alexander didn't chase after her, that was the end of it. She knows Diana is still in contact with him, but otherwise she hasn't heard from him in years.
- Changed Edward Homer willingly ages ago, back when she was with Alexander. She used him as a toy for most of their time with him as human, but once he was changed they became a bit more as equals. The two were unlikely friends - at each other's throats one day, and all friendly the next.
- Spent some time with Eriq Gedeon in the past, where she tried to out-ripper Eric himself. Of course she failed, the two still spent lots of time together - usually Brynn trying to get the dark-haired man to notice her. But he was one of the only guys who turned her down, for his love Anastasia Florin. Brynn's only heard of her, but she envies the love Eric has for her, even if Amelia doesn't see it.
- Has come across Aeker Renickson numerous times throughout the years. He's like family to her, and he's spent a considerable portion of his life watching out for her.
- Was the first vampire Flora Rennick met, showing her the ropes a bit before getting bored with the girl.
- Has gotten close to Max Nelson, and looks at him like a little brother figure. Her and Diana are very protective over him, and together they make up a little family.
- Has spent time with Becca Petrova through their vampire lives, and at one point had been particularly close. Eventually they just parted ways, without any hard feelings or big falling out.
- The Petrovich twins have crossed paths with Brynn more than a few times before, and despite their identical faces, they couldn't be more different. It's no secret Tatiana Petrovich hates her for changing Edward, and because of this Brynn isn't afraid to push the blonde's buttons. Her sister Nadia Petrovich, on the other hand, Brynn has gotten along with quite well, and can't help but rub their friendship in Tatiana's face.

Again, this is part of a series, so read the question I'm answering, and then both the first and second post before you tread on into this complicated scenario.
So "Joan" is willing to forsake her life as a woman, as "John," and embrace his identity as the man God created him to be. What does he do about the fact that his young daughter has known him only as "Mom"?
This is, admittedly, the most difficult part of this puzzle. A friend said including the daughter in the narrative was the "evil genius" part of the whole thing. For my students at Southern Seminary, the daughter was the most heart-wrenching part of the whole question, and those who had difficulty typically had difficulty at this point. I'm glad that such is the case. The compassion for this daughter, having her entire spectrum of reality turned over, is a mark of a Christian, and certainly a necessary trait for a sheep-herder of God's flock.
First, let me say that I'm aware that "Joan" becoming "John" will wreak havoc on her daughter's life and psyche. I think such havoc will be unleashed either way, and that honesty at this point is less destructive than continuing the illusion. The question, at this point, is not whether the daughter will have a normal life or a traumatic one. The question is whether the people of Christ will be with her through the trauma. I would counsel Joan to tell her daughter at an appropriate (but not unduly delayed) time.
This will be difficult, and John will need his pastor there, along with many godly women from the congregation who are willing to spend hours with this young girl. John should tell her that years before she was born, he was confused, and felt like he was a girl instead of a boy, and that he had spent the last twenty years trying to be a girl. He should tell his daughter, though, that something had changed, he was born again in Christ Jesus, and that means that he gets a new start. He should tell her that he loves her just the same, and that he'll always be here, but he wants her to know that Jesus is putting his life back together, as a man.
This will be confusing and disruptive, but, with the wise counsel of his congregation and its pastors, John can visibly demonstrate before his daughter what regeneration and sanctification actually looks like: slow, painful, but, in the end, worth it for the sake of the gospel.
So, if John follows through at this point, what's the expectation of the church, and the responsibility of the congregation, for change in the life of a man who once thought himself a woman? I'll take that up in the next post.

The Mad Ones
I walked into the theater where Sam was sitting and it was empty. No one else wanted to see On The Road in the West Village. The seats were old and they made squeaks when you took them back.
After a minute two girls walked in. They had good hair. They had no idea what they were walking into. It was a second after they sat coats-off a row behind me and Sam when I talked loud so they could hear.
"Lord Almighty."
"Christ keep shit in check."
"But Schlink it's like, God, what if I bought a thing of whiskey."
"Hey, girls, if I bought a thing of whiskey, wanna split it."
The other two people in the auditorium, the two girls, giggled like they meant it. They said yes and moved next to us while I was dispatched to the nearest liquor store, and good luck it was just next door. The movie flickered on and I took the thing and undid it.
I loved the movie. As I'm no critic, of film or basically anything else, I feel right in taking On The Road as a thing to talk about. It is a mandate I have. From the place where I first read the book to now is miles. It takes time to get there. The title is, for once, literal. That's nice. It is natural for me, too, seeing someone on the road observing, as I myself can't drive. Here's where I say that I too am Kerouac. He's happy to get a cross-gearshift hand job from his best friend's wife instead of taking the wheel. No explanation necessary as to why that's in the movie. But maybe, here: taking the wheel actually is a different animal. I feel that.
As for the movie itself the scene is New Years Eve, going into 1949. Cassady had a dance with Marylou, Kristen Stewart, and Kristen Stewart is all hips and lips dancing to Charlie Parker's "Salt Peanuts."
I was outside after the movie ended. The two girls watched me have a smoke and then said they had work in the morning. Sam got on a subway. I was walking home when I remembered a nice bar, and I had a beer there not talking to the bartendress.

Aamir Khan visits Bihar village of man who cut a path through a mountain
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan visited the village of Dasrath Manjhi, also known as the "Mountain Man", who single-handedly carved out a 360-foot-long path through the Gehlore Mountain in Bihar's Gaya District over a period of more than two decades.
Khan visited the Gahlaur Village to meet and interview family members of Manjhi for the second season of his television reality show 'Satyamev Jayate' (Truth Alone Prevails).
"My purpose of coming to Gaya city is that I have got huge inspiration from the story of Dasrath Manjhi, and in our last season of the reality television show, 'Satyamev Jayate', we ended our episode by showing some flashback of Dasrath Manjhi's life. When a person is passionate about his aim, then that thing becomes possible and easy to execute, and his life is a huge inspiration for me," said Khan.
Manjhi died of cancer at the age of 80 at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on August 17, 2007.
According to villagers, Manji decided to carve the road through the mountain in 1967 when his wife was injured while climbing the mountain.
Manji finished his project in 1988, and before his death, had been trying to persuade the state administration to construct a cemented road in same place that he had carved.
The state government has since constructed the cemented road, though Manjhi is not there to see it.

Houston... Rocket?
8/21/12 in MLB | This_is_Rick | 265 respect
But, what a fire it will be. Maybe?
The Rocket just made a U-turn on the way to Cooperstown and the bated-breath debate will have to wait, perhaps, another five years, or even longer.
As reported by Ken Rosenthal, of Foxsports, Roger Clemens has been currently chucking 87 m.p.h controlled-fastballs with enough command to impress scouts, quickly landing him a spot on the Sugar Land Skeeters ( Indie-League) in Texas. That, and the name on his jersey didn't hurt either.
Clemens, now 50, apparently still has the excellent conditioning, mixed with the pitchers-mind to get hitters out. At least in the Indie's. But, does he have the moxy and make-up to get out professional hitters in the MLB? And, why come back, if he even can? Those questions, along with countless others, are only the preview to what this movie might provide.
However, any person that knows Roger Clemens should not be surprised or spill their popcorn in Bud Selig's hair when the premier happens. Apologies to the Skeeters faithful, but Roger has his sights set on something bigger, more time-worthy. The Hall-Of-Fame.
Another five years removed can provide Clemens time, most importantly. But, not his time. Voters-time and analyst-time may change drastically in the next five-plus years in the MLB world, and it may be enough distance for Clemens to prove he is in fact, worthy of votes. And what is the hurt in padding the stats, getting some extra cash and rebuilding the Clemens Legacy while he waits? Nothing. Outside of fabricating a website explaining his possible reasons for possible steroid use, what's the worst thing that can happen? Again, nothing!
Clemens has stood trial, multiple times now, and he has come out clean - verdictly speaking - every time. He may have cheated, but he was never caught. Unlike others who will be on the 2013 ballot, Clemens has never been proven the all-important, guilty. Case closed!
If he does sign with the Astros this season, Clemens will then be able to get back to cementing his no-question reasoning as a dominant pitcher. Perhaps even "the" dominant pitcher. He needs only 328 strikeouts to reach 5000, a feat only done by Nolan Ryan, and only 203 to pass Randy Johnson for 2nd all-time. While there may not be enough youth-juice on the planet to keep Clemens in the league for multiple years, enough to pass Ryan for number 1, the conditioning he is credited for should carry him at least two seasons. More than enough time to present his case as, "the best." Not to mention the stats he already has over Ryan and Johnson.
With the art of power-pitching, so goes the art of control. Ryan struck out 5,714 hitters in his career, but he also gave free passes to 2,795. Roger Clemens, in all his power-dominance, only walked 1,580 hitters. Unless you are in the circus or five-years old, the shorter the merry-go-round ride, the better. Especially in the MLB. Clemens also has more wins, 354, to Ryan's 324, and he has the rings of a Champion. No-hitters aside, The Rocket can even be argued as the best, now, not then and when.
It's true, age is always a factor. Perhaps Clemens should listen to Jamie Moyer on the subject of pitchers past their prime before making his decision. After all, Clemens has been clocked at 87, not 97. In reality, it could also just be all-talk and media-banter, which Clemens likes to orchestrate on a day-to-day trial basis - no pun intended.
But, what a scene it could be!
If only to put fans in the Houston seats, and provide excitement for the ending of a dismal Astros season, it would be interesting to see his return. Even at 50-years old...est!
Regardless, teams playing the Skeeters better watch out!

Good First Date place in Southwest Broward
- v
- veradimilo Dec 14, 2006 09:31 AM
Hey All,
Planning a casual "first date" dinner in the Southwest Broward area. Something with a decent atmosphere for conversation. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hmmmm....casual??? I'm not real familiar yet with that area, but I've been to Season's 52 and that has a nice atmosphere with cozy spots for a first date. I love the Canyon, but it's loud unless you're going early and during the week. How about Himmarshee's for casual semi-fusion food and then you can walk along the river. for your second date, should you bump it up a notch or two, then definitely Blue Moon cafe on the water or the River House. I'm still exploring Ft. lauderdale. And.....when you're in love!!!!! then head over to Cafe Maxx for a divine dinner and a fab bottle of vino.
If you're looking to stay closer to SW Broward, I've heard that Cohiba in Pembroke PInes is good. Havent' been there myself. I like Flanigan's in Weston which is very casual with good food and drinks. If you like Asian, you can try Stir Moon sushi and stirfry in Weston - very good. Lucille's in Weston is good comfort food - not too pricey.
John the Baker: excellent Pizza Palour...the garlic bread and pizza are not to be missed, the other italian dishes are just so so (at least the ones I've tried). SW Pines Blvd.
La Granja: awesome peruvian rotisserie chicken. they now offer other dishes (which I have not tried) Same plaza as above (near Home Depot)
Latin American Grill: killer cuban cuisine ditto location.
Jersey Wings: looks interesting?
Then there's that slew of suburbian style chain eateries along West Pines Blvd. Take your pick!
On the Boarder (chain) is out by 75 on Pines...for poorly contrived gringo-izd Mexy.
There's an Ale House out there...among many others...
Do a drive by and pop your head in a few places.
re: netmover
Netmover you are on the money with On The Border. Not that I think Chili's is chow-worthy, but i think the food is better there than at On The Border.
If Thai food would be appropriate, Emerald Thai, South of 595 near Pine Island is excellent and moderately priced. If you like duck and you like mild (coconut) curries, share the Emerald Duck...very sensual! They offer excellent seafood dishes as well. The atmosphere is clean, not fancy - but it is a quiet atmosphere, good for conversation and there is no rush.
Even though you said Southwest Broward I've still got to go with the beach. The drive over will give you time for conversation. Then take her for a stroll along the Hollywood Broadwalk and check out the menus at the cafes until something seems to strike her fancy. Find out what she likes to eat and choose something that looks good to her. (The worst thing you can do on a first date is feed her something she hates!)
Sugar Reef is good for caribbean style dishes and in my humble opinion the only real chowhound worthy place I've tried on the Broadwalk. But, on a first date the company is almost as important as the food. Heck, sharing a pizza overlooking the ocean doesn't get much more romantic!
Josef's in Plantation is very nice and has very good food and La Brochette Bistro in Cooper City is also very nice with very good food. If you're wanting to stay west, you can't go wrong with either of those. Check out their menus and decide. They are both more upscale food, but still casual.

Iraqi nationalism
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Iraqi nationalism is the nationalism that asserts that Iraqis are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Iraqis. Iraqi nationalism involves the recognition of an Iraqi identity stemming from ancient Mesopotamia including its civilization of Babylonia and Assyria.[1] Iraqi nationalism in history was influential in Iraq's movement to independence from Ottoman and British occupation. Iraqi nationalism was an important aspect in the 1920 Revolution against British occupation, and the 1958 Revolution against the British-installed Hashemite monarchy.[2] American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein claims that Iraqi nationalism was a major factor in Iraq's resistance against US occupation during the Iraq War that led to US forces withdrawing from Iraq.[3]
There are two prominent variants. One variant views an Iraqi nation as involving Arab and Kurdish people as equal peoples who are linked by Mesopotamian heritage, this view was promoted by Abd al-Karim Qasim, who was of mixed Arab-Kurdish descent.[4] The second variant is a dual nationalism combining Iraqi nationalism alongside Arab nationalism, that supports Iraqi nationalism for matters involving Iraq and Arab nationalism for issues involving Arabs as a whole.[5] Saddam Hussein believed that the recognition of the ancient Mesopotamian origins and heritage of Iraqi Arabs was complementary to supporting Arab nationalism.[5] The Ba'athist regime officially included the historic Kurdish Iraqi Muslim leader Saladin as a patriotic symbol in Iraq, Saladin led Muslim and Arab forces during the Crusades.[6]
Iraqi nationalist identity and culture[edit]
Iraqi nationalism has emphasized Iraq's cultural heritage to ancient Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria, states that are considered the cradle of civilization that spread civilization to other parts of the world.
Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar II and Kurdish Muslim leader Saladin during the Crusades are two important historical figures of Iraq and iconic figures in Iraqi nationalism.
The concept of contemporary Iraqi national identity first arose in the 1920s at the same period as pan-Arabism was growing.[7] By the 1930s advocacy of the concept of an Iraqi territorial identity arose amongst the Iraqi intellectual field and Iraqi identity grew in importance after World War II.[7] Though Iraqi nationalism and Arab nationalism are technically separate from each other, both nationalisms influenced each other - adopting each other's metaphors and narratives.[7] In some cases Iraqi nationalism has been advocated as a necessarily supplement to Arab nationalism such as the Iraqi political newspaper Al-Hatif advocating Iraqi nationalism on issues of domestic Iraqi culture, and advocating Arab nationalism on issues of broader Arab culture.[5]
During the Hashimite monarchy period in Iraq, it was commonplace for writers to write of an Iraqi identity separate from an Arab framework, Iraq's print media and education at the time emphasized Iraq's landscape, its tribes, and its unique poetry and literature.[7] Beginning in the 1930s, Iraqi historians began to address the Iraq revolt of 1920 by Iraqis against the British as a formative moment in Iraqi history that Iraqi historians referred to as "the Great Iraqi Revolution".[7]
Prominent early Iraqi nationalist figures were the intellectuals 'Abd al-Razzaq al-Hasani and 'Abbas 'Azzawi.[8] Al-Hasani was strongly critical of the British Mandate of Mesopotamia, published his first volume of his work The History of Iraqi Governments in the 1930s (the second published in the 1950s), the first volume was endorsed by King Faisal I of Iraq.[8] Al-Hasani was a prominent proponent of Iraqi nationalism.[8] In one of his works al-Hasani included a letter by Faisal I, the letter had Faisal I describing Iraq as suffering from religious and sectarian tensions due to Iraqis being unable to form a common nationalism.[9] Faisal I described Iraq as being governed by a literate Sunni elite over illiterate and ignorant Shi'ite and Kurdish sects who opposed the central government.[9] 'Azzawi wrote Iraq between Two Occupations - referring to Turkish and British rule, that received acclaim by the Iraqi government that assisted him in publishing his work.[9] The works of both al-Hasani and 'Azzawi were highly popular from 1935 to 1965, with many of their works being published in second and third editions and both authors' works influenced Iraqi nationalism.[10]
Abd al-Karim Qasim promoted a civic nationalism in Iraq that recognized Iraq's Arabs and Kurds as equal partners in the state of Iraq, Kurdish language was not only formally legally permitted in Iraq under the Qassim government, but the Kurdish version of the Arabic alphabet was adopted for use by the Iraqi state and the Kurdish language became the medium of instruction in all educational institutions, both in the Kurdish territories and in the rest of Iraq.[4] Under Qassim, Iraqi cultural identity based on Arabo-Kurdish fraternity was stressed over ethnic identity, Qassim's government sought to merge Kurdish nationalism into Iraqi nationalism and Iraqi culture, stating: "Iraq is not only an Arab state, but an Arabo-Kurdish state...[T]he recognition of Kurdish nationalism by Arabs proves clearly that we are associated in the country, that we are Irakians first, Arabs and Kurds later".[11] The Qassim government's pro-Kurdish policies including a statement promising "Kurdish national rights within Iraqi unity" and open attempts by Iraq to coopt Iranian Kurds to support unifying with Iraq resulted in Iran responding by declaring Iran's support for the unification of all Kurds who were residing in Iraq and Syria, into Iran.[12] Qassim's initial policies towards Kurds were very popular amongst Kurds across the Middle East whom in support of his policies called Qassim "the leader of the Arabs and the Kurds".[13]
Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani during his alliance with Qassim and upon Qassim granting him the right to return to Iraq from exile imposed by the former monarchy, declared support of the Kurdish people for being citizens of Iraq, saying in 1958 "On behalf of all my Kurdish brothers who have long struggled, once again I congratulate you [Qassim] and the Iraqi people, Kurds and Arabs, for the glorious Revolution putting an end to imperialism and the reactionary and corrupt monarchist gang".[14] Barzani also commended Qassim for allowing Kurdish refugee diaspora to return to Iraq and declared his loyalty to Iraq, saying "Your Excellency, leader of the people: I take this opportunity to tender my sincere appreciation and that of my fellow Kurdish refugees in the Socialist countries for allowing us to return to our beloved homeland, and to join in the honor of defending the great cause of our people, the cause of defending the republic and its homeland."[14]
Saddam Hussein and Iraqi Ba'athist ideologists sought to fuse a connection between ancient Babylonian and Assyrian civilization in Iraq to the Arab nationalism by claiming that the Bablyonians and ancient Assyrians are the ancestors of the Arabs.[15] Thus, Saddam Hussein and his supporters claim that there is no conflict between Mesopotamian heritage and Arab nationalism.[15]
Saddam Hussein as President of Iraq expressed himself as an Iraqi in state art - associating himself as a modern-day Nebuchadnezzar II and wearing both Arabic and Kurdish headgear in such art.[1] Saddam Hussein also paralleled himself and the Ba'athist government to Saladin, the famous Iraqi Kurdish leader of Muslims and Arabs against Crusaders in Jerusalem, who was from Iraq.[6][16]
After gaining independence in 1932, the Iraqi government immediately declared that Kuwait was rightfully a territory of Iraq, claiming it had been part of an Iraqi territory until being created by the British.[17]
The Qassim government held an irredentist claim to Khuzestan.[18] It also held irredentist claims to Kuwait.[19]
Saddam Hussein's government sought to annex multiple territories. In the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq sought the annexation of Khuzestan. Saddam supported the Iraq-based Ahwaz Liberation Movement and their goal of breaking their claimed territory of Ahwaz away from Iran, in the belief that the movement would rouse Khuzestan's Arabs to support the Iraqi invasion.[20] In the Gulf War, Iraq occupied and annexed Kuwait before being expelled by an international military coalition that supported the restoration of Kuwait's sovereignty.
After annexing Kuwait, Iraqi forces amassed on the border with Saudi Arabia, with foreign intelligence services suspected that Saddam was preparing for an invasion of Saudi Arabia to capture or attack its oil fields that were a very short distance from the border.[21] It has been suspected that Saddam Hussein intended to invade and annex a portion of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province on the justification that the Saudi region of Al-Hasa had been part of the Ottoman province of Basra that the British had helped Saudi Arabia conquer in 1913.[22] It is believed that Saddam intended to annex Kuwait and the Al-Hasa oil region, so that Iraq would be in control of the Persian Gulf region's vast oil production, that would make Iraq the dominant power in the Middle East.[23] The Saudi Arabian government was alarmed by Iraq's mobilization of ten heavily armed and well-supplied Iraqi army divisions along the border of Iraqi-annexed Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and warned the United States government that they believed that Iraq was preparing for an immediate invasion of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.[24] The Saudi Arabian government stated that without assistance from outside forces, Iraq could invade and seize control of the entire Eastern Province within six hours.[24]
The flag of Iraq from 1924-1959. It uses the colours of the Hashimite royal family (that also became a symbol of pan-Arabism), the two stars symbolize the two major ethnicities of Iraq, the Arabs and the Kurds.
The flag of Iraq from 1959-1963, it espouses a unified Iraqi identity bearing pan-Arab colours (black, green, red, white), Kurdish colours (green, red, white, yellow), the Kurdish yellow sun and the ancient Assyro-Babylonian Star of Venus symbol in red behind the Kurdish yellow sun.
The flag of Iraq from 1991-2004, the flag used during the Ba'athist and Saddam Hussein regime that espoused Iraqi nationalism alongside Arab nationalism.

Definitely interesting stuff!! Thanks for sharing all of it. :)
I just re-read the thread and wanted to add a few thoughts that I had. I had an ideal in my head about what the perfect relationship was for me, but there were times I got exactly what I wanted and I ran in the opposite direction. I would lust after other people's possessions and lives, but never realizing that the grass is always greener when you are on the other side of the fence looking in.
It is something I struggle tremendously with as a WH and a SA. I think there is something inherently embedded in my psyche (and maybe the psyche of men and women who choose to step out of on their partner) that I am always searching for validation, always thinking that whatever I have is perfect until something "happens" (I make a decision because I am bored, looking for justification, etc.) then I am looking for the next perfect thing.
I just realized that cheating and doing whatever to get ahead was acceptable in certain situations in my family. Our choices are our choices, but they were shaped by someone and some things.

Daisy Plant
Daisy Plant: Traditions and Beliefs
The Daisy plant belongs to the exclusive group of flowers that have played significant roles in human history. Since the old days the Daisy plant has always been considered a supreme flower, it has been associated with many ancient legends, it is mentioned in the Old Testament and New Testaments, it symbolizes chastity and virtue. The Daisy plant was also revered by the Church as the Virgin Mary's flower because it represents her purity and kindness, that is why the pictures of the Virgin Mary were often decorated with Daisies. People also believed that after the death of a person, a Daisy would begin to grow on its own if the deceased had been a good man.
In both the Christian and pagan traditions, the Daisy is a fertility symbol. In Greek marriage ceremonies the bride wears a crown of Daisies and wheat… purity and abundance. Daisies are also a symbol of death, and at one time Daisies were placed on the graves of children.
Facts about the Daisy Plant
Daisies are very popular among gardeners. Daisies are easy to grow: they will readily tolerate poorer soils and partial shade, though daisies love well-drained, rich soil and sunshine. The Daisy Plant is seldom bothered by insects or pests, so it is perfect for beginners and kids. Everyone knows these modest flowers, even those of us who are not floriculturists. We see them all the time in flowerbeds and borders, decorating city streets throughout the summer, and never requiring much maintenance. There are varieties that grow in the wild, as well. About 80 varieties of daisy can be found in latitudes as diverse as New Zealand and North America. Because the daisy's needs are few, it survives successfully even under difficult urban conditions. They also tend to spread quickly and can grow like weeds. But a daisy makes a very nice-looking weed, indeed.
Daisy Plant: History
All modern daisy varieties derive from a single species: the long-lived Bellis perennis, which grows freely in Europe and Asia Minor. White and pink are considered the traditional daisy colors, popular at times when the daisy has meant high fashion. Daisies have enjoyed particular popularity in England, where the damp climate boosts their growth. The English are responsible for the daisy's gentle, affectionate name. On that foggy island, it flowers year 'round. English poets have dedicated many beautiful lines to the daisy. In his poem, The Legend of Good Women, the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote:
That of all the floures in the mede,
Thanne love I must these floures white and rede,
Suche as men callen dayseys in her toune.
("Of all the flowers in the fields,
I love best these flowers of white and red,
That men in her town call daisies.")
James Montgomery, author of many poems and songs, wrote this about the daisy:
The rose has but a summer reign
The daisy never dies…
The daisy has been known as a crop plant for a relatively long time. In the past, it was treated exclusively as a medicinal plant; only in the 17th century did floriculturalists develop any interest in it. Over the last two centuries, selectionists have made concerted efforts to change the flower's shape. Thanks to their diligence, the diameter of the daisy's flower-cluster has increased by 2-3 times. This could not have been achieved without a few sad jokes. In mid-18th-century Germany, for some reason, it was decided that the daisy was extremely poisonous and should be eliminated. But either the law was poorly executed or the plant's own hardiness saved it, because the daisy did not disappear. It continued to flower every spring as before.
Daisy Plant: Legends
Many beautiful folk legends and stories have been composed about the beloved daisy. Some of them resemble children's tales in their purity and naivete. Here is one of those stories: One day the sun, gazing upon the flowers in the field, noticed a small daisy sheltering modestly in the shade of its luxuriant brothers. The sun was very surprised that it had never seen this pretty flower. The other flowers were always clamoring for bright colors, broad leaves, big flowers, but the daisy never asked the sun for a thing. Resolved to reward the diminutive plant for its humility, the sun asked: "Are you satisfied with your life? Is there anything I can do for you?" "No, thank you. I am quite satisfied," answered the daisy. "But I love children very much, and I like to play with them. Help me give them joy all year." So the sun touched the flower's corolla with one of its rays. On that very spot appeared a small, yellow speck, and the daisy's petals opened in all directions. From that time forward, you could see daisies any time of the year.
Here is another story. One winter the Blessed Virgin decided to surprise her son, Jesus, with a wreath of flowers, but because all the fields were covered in snow, there was not a flower to be had. She resolved to sew them from silk. While she was sewing, the sharp needle poked her finger. Drops of her blood turned some of the white flowers pink. Jesus liked the handmade flowers very much. He took good care of them all winter, and in the spring planted them and began to give them water. Jesus' love blew life into them, and they were transformed into perfect white and red daisies.
In the Middle Ages, daisies were very popular among knights. If a girl responded to a proposal of hand and heart with the gift of a daisy wreath, in the language of the Middle Ages this meant: "I'll think about it." And if a girl agreed to marry a noble, he acquired the right to add the likeness of a daisy to his family seal. St. Louis, king of France, was one example. In honor of his wife, Margaret, he ordered that silver daisies be placed next to the gold lilies on the king's banner and stamp. It is no accident that the name "Margaret" became so widespread among girls of royal blood, held by such women as the Duchess of Angou, Margaret of Austria, Margaret of Navarre, Margaret of Denmark, and many others. "Margaret" is a gift from the Greeks. In Greek, the name "Margaret" means "pearl." And it is true; small daisies very much resemble silver pearls scattered across green meadows. The daisy received its scientific name, Bellis perennis ("eternal beauty" in Latin) in honor of Belides, a forest nymph, who begged the gods to change her into that modest flower.

I do believe the president is mainly just a figurehead. And I don't believe that any of our major issues are going to be solved by the outcome of this presidential election. There is so much that needs to be fixed, from the ground up. But I would rather my figurehead not be a known bully who has possibly evaded his taxes and looks with disdain on those who are different than him and were not born with the same privileges as him.

The illumination, although stylistically naive, is very rich. It includes two self-portraits of the scribe and compiler Puncho, together with numerous miniatures, some of them with unusual iconography ...

The Fire of the Church of Our Lady
This vivid color print shows the burning of the Church of Our Lady, the cathedral of Copenhagen, on the night of September 4–5, 1807, during the Anglo-Danish war of 1807–14. Britain initiated the war in August 1807, after the Danes refused to surrender their fleet, which the British feared would fall into the hands of Napoleonic France.

Spherical Map That Shows the North of the Santo Domingo Island and the Eastern Part of Canal Viejo of Bahamas
This early-19th century Spanish naval map shows the eastern Caribbean, from the northern coasts of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba to the Bahamas.

View and Map of the Affair at Ratan, of August 20, 1809
This watercolor by the Swedish artist and draftsman Carl Gustaf Gillberg (1774–1855) depicts the fighting at Ratan on August 20, 1809 between the armies of Sweden and Russia. Contemporaneously with the Napoleonic wars, at the beginning of the 19th century Sweden and Russia fought what became known as the Finnish War, which had the effect of radically altering the political topography of the Baltic. Sweden's defeat put an end to its domination in the region. Finland, previously a province of Sweden, became a grand duchy under the rule ...
Map of Spain and Portugal, Corrected and Augmented from the Map Published by D. Tomas Lopez
Tomás López (1730-1802) was a Spanish cartographer who was sent by the Spanish government to Paris for a number of years to learn cartography and engraving from the great French mapmaker Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697-1782). In 1804, López published his Atlas Geográfico de España (Geographical atlas of Spain), the first atlas of Spain produced by a Spaniard. López's children republished this work in a new edition in 1810, and again in 1830.
The Aeneid
This book is the first printed work of the new Ukrainian literature written in the popular language. It introduced to the world the Ukrainian people with their history, language, traditions, faith, and ethical and aesthetic views, drawing upon materials derived from the social life of Ukraine of the late 18th–early 19th centuries. The work is based on The Aeneid, the epic poem by the Roman poet Virgil (circa 70–19 BC), but the author, Ivan Petrovych Kotlyarevsky, transforms Virgil's ancient heroes into Ukrainian cossacks. The author used a ...
Score of Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom and Other Compositions by Artemiĭ Vedelʹ
This manuscript is the only known work in the hand of Artemiĭ Vedelʹ (1767–1808), one of the most famous Ukrainian composers. It consists of six parts of the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, 12 spiritual choral pieces, and a composition for trio with choir. Different colors of ink reflect the fact that the compositions were written at different times over a period of several years. In 1856 the historian, publicist, and professor at the Kiev Theological Academy, V.I. Askochenskyi, offered the score as a gift to the library ...
Scaled Coastal Map of Japan, Eastern Provinces (Ino Maps)
Inō Tadataka (1745−1818) was a famous surveyor and cartographer of the Edo period in Japan. He is known for completing the first map of Japan based on actual measurements, which he himself made by traveling throughout the country. In 1800 Inō surveyed the area from Edo (present-day Tokyo) to Nemuro (in present-day Hokkaidō) on the Ōshū Highway. He continued measuring other parts of eastern Japan until 1803. He compiled the results of his surveys into three sets of maps of different scales, which he presented to the shogunate in ...
Portrait of Ono Ranzan
Tani Bunchō (1763−1840) was a representative painter of the late Edo period who is said to have perfected Edo Nanga, a school of Japanese painting that flourished in this period. The subject of the painting, Ono Ranzan (1729−1810), was a leading specialist in the traditional pharmacognosy (study of medicines derived from natural sources) of the day. Ranzan asked Bunchō to paint the portrait just a year before his death. Bunchō first made a sketch of Ranzan's right side, which Ranzan did not like, insisting that the bump ...

This map shows in great detail the shoreline of the lake and the network of rivers flowing into and out of Baikal. The title of the map is shown in a cartouche. Below the title is a single-headed eagle, holding in its talons the coat of arms of Irkutsk Province. The illustration at the lower left is a view of Nikolaevsk Pier, located at the point where the Angara ...
Map of Sweden
This map shows the Kingdom of Sweden as it appeared at the end of the 18th century. At the time, the kingdom included present-day Sweden as well as Finland, which, however, was lost to the Russian Empire in 1809. The map is the work of Samuel Gustaf Hermelin (1744-1820), a Swedish industrialist and diplomat who also practiced cartography. Hermelin studied mining at the University of Uppsala before traveling to the United States to study industrialization. While in North America, he was instrumental in establishing diplomatic relations between Sweden and the ...
A New Map of Arabia, Including Egypt, Abyssinia, the Red Sea, from the Latest Authorities
John Cary (circa 1754−1835) was a leading London engraver, map-, chart- and print-seller, and globe maker, active between 1787 and 1834. This map of 1804 shows the Arabian Peninsula and neighboring parts of Africa and the Middle East. Important caravan routes are marked, including the "route of the grand caravan of Sudan from the Niger to Cairo," "route of the caravan from Batsora [Basra] to Aleppo," "caravan of Darfowar [Darfur] to Mecca by Dongola," "caravan of Sudan directly to Mecca by Suakem," and several other caravan routes to Mecca ...

The title is in an artistic cartouche with a drawing of a hunting scene, mining symbols, and a maiden with an urn–an allegorical symbol of the Ob' River. The ...

The map incorporates remarks made by Alexei Kornilov, a governor of Irkutsk Province, then Tobol'sk Province, and later a senator. His notes, compiled in 1807, include information about the ethnic diversity of Irkutsk and Tobol'sk provinces, means of transportation, systems of government, and other topics. The right side ...
Fathers of the Solovetsky Monastery and Their Sufferings
This manuscript was made around 1800 by an often-persecuted group of Russian Christians, the Old Believers. Because books were frequently confiscated from this group and its members were denied the use of printing presses, they continued to write important books such as this one by hand. This text chronicles and illustrates the story of a group of monks at the Solovetsky Monastery who opposed the controversial reforms introduced by Nikon (Patriarch of Moscow, 1652−58) and who endured a siege of eight years (1668−76) before they were finally betrayed ...
Submarine Vessel, Transverse Section
The first working submarine, the Nautilus, was constructed in Paris in 1801 by the American engineer Robert Fulton (1765−1815). Best known for his development, in 1807−8, of the first commercially successful steamboat, Fulton built the submarine, or "plunging boat," in hopes that Napoleon would adopt it for use in his war with Great Britain. The French and later the British showed some initial enthusiasm for Fulton's idea, but in the end both declined to support the project. Fulton then turned to steamboats as a way to finance ...

Some excellent new games on the App Store right now
Apple traditionally releases big new apps all together on Thursday, and this week there's an exceptionally good slate of releases arriving, including some games we've been waiting on for a while.
- As expected, Angry Birds Friends has arrived, and it's a social take on the popular Angry Birds series. You can get it for free.
- Eclipse is a spectacular (if a little complicated) take on the award-winning board game, available for US$6.99. We'll have more on this one as a Daily iPad App later today.
- Firaxis' Haunted Hollow is now officially out, and it's just plain great. Free-to-play, deep (but accessible) strategy from one of the best game developers around. This one is a must-download.
- Wizard Ops Tactics is a free-to-play tactical strategy version of the Wizard Ops shooter that released a while back.
- The Kickstarter-fueled Star Command is now available for $2.99. It looks good, but the game has gotten some flak for not quite fulfilling all of its promises to Kickstarter backers.
- The interactive book/RPG that is Steve Jackson's Sorcery! has finally arrived as well. It's a nice bit of nostalgia, and you can grab it for $4.99.
There are even more new releases on the App Store, but those are the big ones. Some of those, like Haunted Hollow especially, I've been waiting to play since GDC this year. And now they're all out -- go get 'em!
