If you love big surf, go to Depoe Bay on the Oregon coast during a winter storm. As swells rise and break offshore, winds whip ocean spray high into the air, but the waves move inexorably toward the harbor (the "world's smallest navigable harbor," reads a road sign), channel through rocks and, with a resounding […]

The Science of Design
One day last spring, a Nike executive was touring Oregon State University's apparel design facilities.

Beakers are just the beginning of science-based apparel design […]

Co-conspirators in Melanoma
Americans spend billions to beautify their outermost organ — to make it softer and younger, to erase wrinkles, conceal freckles, fake a tan, flaunt a tattoo. In our obsession with skin's cosmetic qualities, it's easy to forget the role it plays as nature's biohazard suit. It defends our bodies against a barrage of environmental and […]

He hit .295 with 29 home runs and 114 RBIs that last year in 1938 — a season most baseball players could only dream about. They called him the "Iron Horse" because he was known for his durability.

Rasnov Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 162 photos
Coming with the car, just before you enter Predeal, you'll be amazed by the beauty of the mountains around the area..Also, the curves of the road, just before Râșnov might make you feel uncomfortable, so, for those with problems, be careful. Remember this: first parking, when you go to Râșnov from Predeal is on the left side- if you want to visit a cave "Valea Cetății Cave Râșnov", and the second parking, on the right side of the road takes you to "Râșnov Citadel". You will also find a good map on that parking with the town, and a lot of souvenirs to buy.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see the town as much as i wanted- we were a group of 20 people, and our purpose was to visit the citadel and the cave..mine was to visit the ski jumping hills (I'm a fan of ski jumping), so not too many photos or pictures from the town..
- Pros:Beautiful!
- Cons:no cons for Râșnov

I liked the photos, the view from the citadel was lovely as you said:) I remember visiting an international ski jumping place (Garmisch) and the day that i was there the kids were making practice runs, it must be an incredible adrenaline experience to do this:)
Nice page!
Nice pictures again...
I'm not into ski but I guess it must be interesting during the competition
Looks like a nice place to visit.

Boston Bruins: Canadiens pose good test for teamThe Boston Bruins are winless in two games this season against their rivals, the Montreal Canadiens. In fact, with their two losses so far this season, the Bruins have not beaten the Canadiens in their last five meetings. Montreal is a very fast and athletic team that can take away passing lanes in the neutral zone, making it tough for Boston to gain entry into the offensive zone with any momentum. When opponents are able to keep the Bruins from attacking with speed through the neutral zone often times the result is the Boston skaters looking slow and unable to create scoring chances on a consistent basis. Using that formula, Montreal has dominated this rivalry as of late. The Bruins hope that trend ends in their next meeting against the Canadiens tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Bell Centre in Montreal. If Boston can play like they have recently, 5-0-0 in their last five games, they will likely be able to end Montreal's winning streak against them. The team is in the midst of one of their hottest offensive stretches of the season, averaging 4.4 goals a game during their current winning streaks. They have also outshot their opponents 189-124 which is indicative of how dominant they have been on offense as well as how solid they have been on defense. After a shaky return from the Olympic break, in which they gave up numerous odd-man rushes and nine goals in two-games, the Bruins blue line has gotten back to playing like they were heading into the break. A big reason for their turn around has been their decision-making and passing. Making fewer mental mistakes has drastically reduced the number of odd-man rushes opponents have been getting and the improved passing has helped by reducing the amount of turnovers the defensemen were making. One Bruins player in particular will have to play better than he has against the Canadiens if they hope to extend their winning streak to six in a row and that is Tuukka Rask. Rask was pulled midway through the game in January against the Habs after he allowed three goals on only 18 shots. That loss only added to Rask's poor numbers against Montreal as his record dropped to 2-10-2 against them, with a 2.88 goals against average and a .900 save percentage. Rask has struggled in his career against the Canadiens, posting a 2-10-2 record. While the Bruins come into tonight's game with basically the same roster that has lost to the Canadiens twice this year, Montreal added a big name at the trade deadline, Thomas Vanek. Although Vanek is a great player and his overall abilities would make him an attractive player for any team, it is no coincidence that Montreal GM Marc Bergevin targeted a player that has incredible career stats against the Bruins. In 53 career games against Boston, Vanek has 30 goals and 61 points and is a plus-21. Although Bruins players and coaches have been reciting the old cliché "it's just another game" to the media, there always seems to be a little extra motivation for the players when these two teams meet. If Boston is able to pass the test Montreal posses this time around, it will be a huge confidence boost for the team going into the final 17 games of the regular season. isportsweb | isportsweb - Sports in Perspective

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—The Virginia men's and women's swimming and diving teams swept both Wisconsin and Virginia Tech Saturday (Jan. 26) at the Aquatic and Fitness Center in Charlottesville.
On the women's side, No. 10 Virginia defeated Virginia Tech, 214-151, and Wisconsin, 182-176. The Badgers took down the Hokies, 237-133.
The No. 11 Cavalier men were victorious against the No. 17 Hokies, 202.5-167.5, and the Badgers, 185-163. Virginia Tech defeated Wisconsin, 204-155.
UVa's women finish the dual meet season with an undefeated mark (9-0) for the second consecutive year, while the men conclude the year with a record of 8-1.
"I thought it was a great experience for all the teams that were here," UVa head coach Mark Bernardino said. "There were a lot of great races and a lot of outstanding athletes. For our teams, it was a real positive weekend. Some of our athletes have further identified themselves as people we want to have on our conference team and showed us that they're going to help us in the long run."
In the men's 400 IM, junior Jan Daniec led a Cavalier 1-2-3 sweep with a time of 3:55.16. Classmate Brad Phillips and freshman Chris Webb were second and third in 3:55.52 and 3:56.71, respectively. Daniec also picked up the win in the 500 free in 4:25.70, while Phillips was second in 4:25.77.
"I'm really pleased with the performance of our distance athletes," Bernardino said. "In the 500 free, the mile and the 400 IM, we were at our best. We were thinking we could do well there, but we had some student-athletes step up and perform at an extremely high level."
UVa also swept the men's 200 free with junior Parker Camp winning in a time of 1:37.62, followed by freshman Nick Alexiou (1:38.19) and senior Tom Barrett (1:38.73).
Senior Lauren Perdue won the women's 200 free in a time of 1:47.44, while junior Caroline Kenney was second in 1:49.42. Kenney led UVa to a 1-2-3 finish in the women's 500 free in 4:49.07.

Up next, Virginia returns to action Feb. 16-17 for the Cavalier Invitational at the AFC. The women's ACC Championships will be held Feb. 20-23, while the men's conference meet is Feb. 27-March 2. Both meets will be held in Greensboro, N.C.

Now Playing: Stoner & Spaz II (MP3 CD)
Beautiful but troubled Colleen Minou is the only girl who ever looked at Ben Bancroft as more than just a spaz more than that kid with cerebral palsy. But the more time Ben spends with Colleen, the more glaring their differences appear, which makes him wonder if what he feels for her is actual affection or if it's just gratitude.
And then there's A.J. She's everything that Colleen isn t, and everything that Ben's grandma wants for him: clean cut and upper class, academically driven, and just as obsessed with movies as Ben is. But what does she see when she looks at Ben? C.P.? Or the person behind the twisted body?
In this sharp, darkly humorous follow-up to the acclaimed "Stoner & Spaz," Ben tries to come to terms with his relationship with Colleen, who is sometimes out of it, sometimes into him, and always exhilarating.

A suggestion!
The song works well as a high score board song.
However, the inclusion of the voice at the beginning would loop over and over again with the song, and that would get annoying.
I would suggest removing it, and offering it as a separate sound file to anyone who wants to use this in their game. That way they can make it only play once in their game.
yeah, I thought it might be too. good idea! I'll add that to my comment.

Definition of tight-arse in English:
(US tight-ass)
1A person who spends as little money as possible; a miser: he's a notorious tight-arse and is always very hesitant about coughing up for anything when it comes to money, I'm a tight-ass who is at pains to avoid looking like one
More example sentences
- We wouldn't be able to get any free cider from him anyway. Why? Because he's a tight-arse.
- Resenting not having any money is a waste of energy and will turn you into a tight-arse.
- The survey found that 11% of people were "tight-arses" who spent an average £10 a year on gifts.
2An inhibited, repressed, or excessively conventional person: you are the most buttoned-up tight-arse that I have ever met a well-worn Hollywood theme—repressed tight-ass reformed by intrusion of uncouth slob
More example sentences
- The comic-drama of this man who is teased for being a tight-ass, 'a self-righteous goody two-shoes,' feels like the enactment of an old, old moment in the history of mutual human dumbness.
- His grin changed into a pleasant smile as he realized Julian wasn't such a tight-ass.
- Even her secretary was an unflappable tight-ass, his contacts had told him.

Key points from CC:FX and increased selling costs are taking their toll on net marginsStore & Gallery costs are being expensed rather than capitalized wherever possible. This should be seen as an investment in the company�s future.Tax rate for �04 likely to be in the range 23-27%Corporate tax rate in Italy to drop from 34% to 33% + 4.5% output.Aim for branded stores is first year break even, then turn profitable in following yearsAiming for 40 more stores and 100 new galleries in �04Selling expense likely to remain constant and should drop as a margin as sales pick up5.4m Euro loss on sale of corporate jetCurrently reviewing manufacturing ops benefits to start showing in 20052004 Capex in the range 40-45m Euro on manufacturing, new stores and galleriesSavings in 2004 likely to be 20-25m Euro will be swallowed in FX and selling expenseSales for first 4 months are up substantially in the US according to Fred Starr. He was reticent to give too much information but did say that sales/sq ft were up by approximately 30% They are currently working on another deal similar to the highly successful David Jones gallery roll out in Australia.Bottom line was a shocker and disappointing. HOWEVER this company is being run in exactly the manner that I would like it run. Investing in the future of the company through brand building and then expensing these costs rather than capitalizing it makes a lot of sense to me. It reduces the tax burden immediately and hence is a highly efficient way of reinvesting the company�s free cash.Looking ahead if sales grow from the current base by 5% I get for FY2004Sales 808mGross Margin 35%Gross Profit 283mSelling Expense (180m)G&A (38m)Operating Income 65mEBIT 66mTaxes @ 25% (16.5m)Net Earnings 49.5m$US Earnings @1.2 Euro = 59.4mEPS per ADR = $1.09Share price target 14x�s FY04= $15 Certainly not the earnings I expected when I purchased the company a couple of years ago. However despite the poor performance in the company�s bottom line it is definitely a better proposition now than when I bought it back then at these levels. The strategy that the company is employing is sound and will produce a good return.
nothing new...just been adding to current holdings and tinkering around the edges.
so Mr. Natuzzi expenses as much as possible rather than capitalizing--my kind of guystaying long 20500 shares indefinitely
seconded...sticking with my position for some time...about 5x yours
Much appreciated synopsis.

Bomberman ULTRA - Road Map and Trophy Guide
Trophy Guide
Paint the town red!
Win a Zombie match in Local Play against 2+ CPU players.
See: "Joy of Painting with Bomberman"
The Name's Bomb, Dangerous Bomb
Take out 3 CPU players at once in a Local game.
Play a match with at least 3 CPUs set to Easy, and edit the Power-Up list to include at least Dangerous Bomb and Full Fire. This combination of Power-Ups produces a blast with a massive radius, which should make taking out 3 players at once a breeze.
Win 15 Local matches against 3+ CPU players.
Play matches with at least 3 CPUs set to Easy. Winning 15 shouldn't be a problem.
Totally Bombed!
Win a Local match against 3+ CPU players after being in a Super Revenge Cart.
Play a match with at least 3 CPUs set to Easy and, in the General Settings menu, "Revenge" set to "Super". Upon entering the match, commit suicide. You'll be placed in a cart encircling the perimeter of the play area, from which you can rain bombs on your opponents. A successful kill from the cart will put you back in the game... win the game to snag the trophy.
Completely Unstoppable!
Remain undefeated for five consecutive 4+ player Online Multiplayer games.
Use the provided boosting thread; have your opponents commit suicide (or otherwise die) in 5 straight online matches of at least 4 players.
You die so good!
Score 25 Frags in an Online Multiplayer Zombie Match.
Use the provided boosting thread; start up a Zombie Classic match and continue bombing your opponent(s) until the trophy pops. The length of the match should be a minute for every person who will be attempting to earn the trophy.
The Bomb!
Win 30 Online Multiplayer games.
Use the provided boosting thread; continue playing matches wherein your opponent commits suicide (or otherwise dies) until the trophy pops.
Joy of Painting with Bomberman
Claim 130 or more tiles in a Local Zombie match against 3+ CPU players.
Play a match with at least 3 CPUs set to Easy, and edit the Power-Up list to include at least Dangerous Bomb and Full Fire. This combination of Power-Ups produces a blast with a massive radius, which helps to paint the board quickly. Win the game with 130+ tiles painted to get the trophy.
The Good, The Bad and The Bombed
With the full cowboy outfit, Frag another cowboy in an Online Multiplayer match.
Use the provided boosting thread. Both players must be wearing Clint Bombwood's hat/chin/chaps, which must be unlocked by collecting Costume Balls.
Girl Power!
With a full female outfit, win an Online Multiplayer 4+ player girl only match.
Use the provided boosting thread. All players must be in a full female outfit. Bomberina Ballerina's bun/face/tutu are female costume pieces available to all players by default. Additionally, each costume piece you collect has a purple icon next to its name that tells you whether it's a male or female item.
Collect 60 Costume Balls.
Costume Balls are the shimmering orbs that sometimes appear during matches that unlock new costume pieces. If you've got more than one controller, start a local multiplayer match of at least 2:00 in length and containing no bots. Clear blocks until it appears, which is usually around the 1:00 mark. Kill Player 2 before time runs out to pad your Leaderboard stats with a win, but so long as you pick up the Costume Ball it will count, regardless of the outcome of the match.

Looks like you have a really good start. Could you add a road map though? If you need to some examples...
Remember, the basic idea is that someone could pick up a game, and get 100% in as short a time as possible. Try to make it as helpful as you can, what to go for first, any trophies they can get at the same time, that kind of thing.

Must I win the game with 130 tiles or just paint them?
I had 130 tiles painted but the trophy didn't unlock. I got hit with a bomb before time ran out.

Shannon Taylor (22), of Port Chalmers, was in the back yard
of a friend's house in Port Chalmers, working underneath a
Ford Falcon station wagon with the ignition on.
He said he had incorrectly wired the fuel pump, which caused
a spark, ignited fumes and created a ''flame ball'' at the
rear of the car and he had caught fire.
''I rolled out and I ran up and down the path trying to put
myself out.''
The screams of his friend's girlfriend alerted two people to
act and ''save my life''.
After hearing the screams, Port Chalmers Pool supervisor
Lyndon Johnston emptied a fire extinguisher on the station
wagon and a neighbour, Tracey Loach, put Mr Taylor in a cold
He had severe burns and nerve damage to the left side of his
body but the cold shower stopped more skin melting.
''It could have been a lot worse. I could have lost a lot
more skin.''
The second-degree burns had left no skin on his left arm and
hand, which could be permanently damaged and require skin
grafts, he said.
''I can barely sit up or walk. I can't do anything.''
In hospital, he was woken by nightmares of ''flashbacks of
He had fallen out of bed three times yesterday attempting to
walk and lacked the energy to attend a meeting with his
pregnant partner and midwife.
Mr Taylor hoped to be discharged from hospital for the birth
of his second child in 10 weeks.
He was philosophical about the ''freak accident''.
''I would have done things differently but you can't turn
back time and what's happened has happened and there will be
a lot of recovery.''

I thought the show was an infomercial for IBM. Sad really.
You can't call it a fair fight.
First of all, let's limit Watson to 200 pounds of gear.
Then, make it get input from the stage cues, just like the others.
1) Recognize that it is question time.
2) LOOK at the question.
3) Listen to the question.
4) THEN search for an answer.
It was spoon-fed the questions and had a quick response time. Nothing new was displayed after the first round.

real accomplishment.
It was not terribly impressive that Watson was able to buzz in faster than its human counterparts. It's no secret that machines have faster reflexes than people do. It wasn't "smarter" than Ken or Brad, either, just faster. It would have been mind-blowingly amazing if Watson had been able to respond to the verbal cues, rather than receiving the questions in text format.
And, like someone said before, it was CLEARLY a three-day infomercial for IBM. Especially when they kept flashing the camera on the smug executives applauding in the audience. They knew dang well that Watson would win this tournament convincingly, otherwise they never would have agreed to it. They made sure the deck was stacked in their favor so they wouldn't lose any face on national television.
Still, it was fun to see Ken behind the podium again. He manages to be incredibly smart and funny without being a complete ODDBALL like Brad Rutter.

My problem with the show was that it was setup for the machine to win.
It emphasized the area that machines excelled at... and humans are notoriously not so good at (speed of data retrieval).
The game also penalizes for being wrong... and for the machine everything is binary right-or-wrong... so it would not buzz in when it had a HUNCH that it knew the answer... thus avoiding the tendency to get points/money taken away (which is what dooms most Jeopardy contestants when the competition is tough).
Getting the edge in this game sometimes requires going with your hunches... but computers don't have hunches. They wither know the answer or they don't. When the competition gets hot and forces you to go with more hunches... the humans have a distinct disadvantage because they will have a tendency to guess (the computer never guesses, and never feels the heat of the competition... so it won't tend loose points on guesses like a human).
It was interesting entertainment, but in the end irrelevant to real_life.
Ask_HAL_how_he_feels_about_puppies... or to identify the smell of spring flowers or the sound of rustling leaves.... not his advantage.

The way I see it, Watson had the advantage in response time. If it had been
programmed to allow a delay of the time it takes a human to press the button,
after recognition of the answer, the contest would have been more fair.
The humans probably knew most of the answers, but couldn't presss the button faster than electricity could trigger a response.
I think it was really a contest between the speed of electricity in computer circuits and the speed of human neuological and physical response and reaction to input -- not a contest of knowledge.
There's no way the humans could have beat the speed of electricity, even if the computer recognized the answer nanoseconds after the humans did.

Victim named in Stevens Branch drowning
BARRE The teenager who drowned Tuesday at the falls on the Stevens Branch has been identified as Jesse Thomas Belcher, 16, of Barre.
A death notice from the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home said Belcher died while trying to save a friend.

By Vicki Needham - 03/01/11 11:58 PM EST
A longer-term measure that cut $61 billion in spending for the remainder of the year passed the House on Feb. 19 and faced nearly unified Democratic opposition. House Republicans then opted during the weeklong recess to craft a second bill that would cut $4 billion from previously designated earmarks and terminations included in President Obama's fiscal 2012 budget.
The move put Democrats in a difficult spot to oppose cuts that they had supported in the past, leading to relatively quick passage for the short-term measure.
Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidSuper-PAC targets Portman on trade Dem leader urges compromise on FCC set-top box plan Senate Dems introduce Iran sanctions extension MORE (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that Democrats were resigned to passing the House GOP's short-term measure, but called it "a terrible way to govern."
Senate Democrats and the White House had made multiple suggestions to Republicans on a different way to proceed — including a 30-day measure — all rejected by the House GOP.
"We'll pass this and then we will look at funding on a long-term basis. The president is going to get involved in this," Reid said earlier.
He called many of the House cuts proposed in a longer continuing resolution "wrong headed" and praised a new report by the Government Accountability Office that identified $34 billion in wasteful and duplicative federal programs, saying that could be a place to start cutting.
Still, President Obama and Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerClinton maps out first 100 days The Hill's 12:30 Report Boehner on Cruz: 'Lucifer is back' MORE (R-Ohio) had spoken by phone earlier today and had a "good" conversation about the CR and ensuring that the government wouldn't shut down.
Meanwhile, the House easily approved the CR on a 335-91 vote, with more than 100 Democrats joining all but six Republicans in support of the measure that House Republicans introduced on Friday.
More Democrats voted for the measure than against it, despite criticism of the GOP proposal ahead of the vote by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the Democratic leader and former Speaker.
Democratic leadership was divided. Pelosi voted no, but House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) voted for it. Democratic leaders urged their members to vote against the rule for the bill, but did not urge their members to vote against the spending measure itself.
The six Republicans voting against the bill were Justin AmashJustin AmashDozens of GOP lawmakers staying away from Trump's convention House uprising thwarts change to Patriot Act GOP angst grows over Trump MORE (Mich.), Michele BachmannMichele BachmannNo-shows at GOP convention Clinton camp: Trump VP pick is 'divisive,' 'unpopular' Lobbying world MORE (Minn.), Louie GohmertLouie GohmertGOP rep: Trump 'courageous' for giving Cruz speech GOP bill would block undocumenteds from military service GOP rep Gohmert: Obama has 'divided us more than ever' MORE (Texas), Walter Jones (N.C), Steve King (Iowa), and Ron Paul (Texas).
Republicans also said a two-week extension would give the Senate more time to consider a full-fiscal year spending bill, H.R. 1, that would cut $61 billion from current funding levels.
Democrats focused almost all of their attention on that measure, passed by the House last month, which they think cuts too deeply. Several stressed economic estimates that the bill would lead to hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, and said it had no chance of moving ahead in the Senate or the White House.
"H.R. 1 is clearly not acceptable to the other body, nor would it be acceptable to the president, whose signature is necessary before any funding bill can become law," said House Budget Committee ranking member Norm Dicks (D-Wash.). "What the president has already proposed for the coming year, a budget freeze at last year's level, remains in my judgment the most effective way to reduce the deficit and to support recovery in major sectors of our economy."
Dicks added that recent comments from House Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerClinton maps out first 100 days The Hill's 12:30 Report Boehner on Cruz: 'Lucifer is back' MORE (R-Ohio), in which he said Republicans might make Democrats swallow budget cuts "one slice at a time," are worrying.
"We were concerned by his statement that seemed to indicate a plan for a piecemeal approach to future spending cuts," Dicks said.
Dicks was joined by Republicans who likewise said the next step should be a complete budget for the rest of the year, not temporary extensions. But Republicans repeated that the short-term continuing resolution was needed because the Senate failed to the larger bill and called on the Senate to begin its work on a budget.
"This two-week continuing resolution, with its $4 billion in savings, is acceptable as a temporary stopgap," said Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). "But after agreeing to this short-term measure, the Senate must buckle down and get to work on passing the full-year continuing resolution the House sent them two weeks ago."

Skip to comments.Pastor Terry Jones Says Afghan U.N. Violence 'Proves My Point'
Posted on 04/01/2011 5:09:06 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who oversaw the burning of a Koran last month, said he did not feel responsible for the violent protest at a United Nations compound in Afghanistan today that left at least 11 dead. Instead, he said the violence proved his point.
"We wanted to raise awareness of this dangerous religion and dangerous element," Jones said. "I think [today's attack] proves that there is a radical element of Islam."
As for the 11 dead, which included seven U.N. staffers and guards, Jones told "Nightline" anchor Bill Weir, "We do not feel responsible, no."
The deaths followed a protest march in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif today against the Koran burning. Jones supervised while another pastor, Wayne Sapp, soaked the Koran in kerosene and burned it.
"We decided to put the Koran on trail," he told Weir. "I was the judge but I did not determine the verdict. I was just a type of referee so that people got their time to defend or condemn the Koran."
Jones said that a "jury" of people from all over Florida debated the radicalism of Islam, and the "Koran was found guilty."
"If the Koran was found guilty then there were four forms of punishment: burning, shredding, grounding, a firing squad," he said. "The one that the people chose was burning. That is why the Koran was burned after it was found guilty."
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
The Saudi ISLAMIC government seizes privately owned Christian Bibles and burns them every year.
ABCDisney news and our pro-Islamist president say NOTHING about this human rights abuse.
This guy is a dramatist looking for attention.
I personally would have preferred he shoot the Koran. Burning is so yesterday.
Paper and ink are worth more than human lives...where do I sign up for this enlightened belief system?
This is actually a pretty mild opposition to Christianity compared with a lot of the 'stans.
So let me get this straight , eleven people died because one muslin book was burned? recently 600 Bibles were burned by muslins, does this mean we need to kill 6600 muslims to restore the honour to the Bible?
Unless we want this kind of animal behavior to start happening in America, we need to make sure that any mullah peaching hate be banned from our shores.
Many Muslims over there are a murder looking for a victim and any excuse will do.
Now all we need to do is execute the punishment.
There is a death penalty for any non-muslim (including Christians) who'd dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina.
That doesn't seem so mild.
Add six zeros.
Whatever Islam is, we are in a religious war, and that's the least our leaders ought to admit. But hell, "our leaders" are either Communists or RINOS.
We are told that moderate muslims abhor violence and jihad.
But that it is so easy to "radicalize" the muslims by engaging in such actions.
The moderates aren't so non-violent after all. It's akin to a "moderate nazi".
How about taking it out on the warlords, chieftans, and princes who keep them broke, ignorant, and enslaved to Mohammed's death cult?
A change is gonna come.
He is 100% right as far as it proving his point.
There is also of course the New Jersey public worker who did burn the Koran at the time that this pastor orginally said he would do it. There is also video of a fascist angry mob surrounding guy and then he was fired for his personal protest from his government job. I think there still is a lawsuit on going.
The point of the protest in burning the Koran was a protest against the oppresive radical murderous behavior of those who use it as their excuse.
They did prove the point of the protest.
We found out all we need to know about Islam on 9-11.
If I hadn't read it elsewhere earlier, I would not be aware that the frickin religion of peace zealots IN THE SAME COUNTRY THAT U.S. TROOPS ARE DYING IN sawed the heads off of two innocent UN workers there!
Nuke the freakin poppy fields and pull out of the 3rd century rat hole. Now. And I am absolutely serious. Level the poppy fields and shake the dust off our feet.

Any other Rights we should be flushing while we're at it?
If I were a Company Comander in Afghanistan, I would think about visiting Pastor Jones on my return and kicking the sh!t out of this attention whore. I don't like rabid dogs but, recognizing their nature, I'm not going to poke them with a stick unnecessarily.
"The lead story on Google News screams all about the Pastor. The Pastor, as if he's a serial killer!"
He's a murderer. This scumbag did this knowing people would die...but he didn't care, not if he could get some ink.
It would be a real shame if his building got burnt down.
Here come the boys from the South: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHibGC21VpQ&skipcontrinter=1
The value of a Bible is much higher than 10 damned souls.
Even to this agnostic.
You're right. The US lamestream media are hiding the fact that at least two UN workers, most likely Europeans, were BEHEADED.
I am noticing other extreme political correctness in the reporting of this story.
Each time it is mentioned on ABC radio news, the newsreader carefully begins the story with "The demonstration began peacefully, but...."
ABC is trying to make it sound as if the demonstrators were nice decent fellas .... but some nasty men with knives just happened to show up and ruin the Kumbayah.
True , but the muslims make do with burning Bibles until they get a chance to burn churchs and kill Christians.
A friend of mine is a Baptist minister and he has been talking online with a Saudi convert for the past several years. The man is hoping to get out of the country soon, for he is afraid his family might be growing suspicious and would either turn him over to the religious police or deal with him themselves, and he wouldn't survive either encounter.
Why dont you come and visit me then and I'll burn the Koran publically for you and we will see how quick you can take away my right to free speech with your pansy threat of violence.
You want Americans to be afraid of upsetting radical Islamists because they do not accept free speech?
Instead of displaying anger for these evil terrorist scum you instead want to squelch free speech with threats of violence?
I doubt that anyone with the type of fear you display will do much if face to face.
Yea let's see our own troops target Americans for acts of free speech based upon your logic. For years upon years I have seen the left-wing give moral support to our enemy and claim that we have to support them and now you here at FR want to call for anyone burning a Koran in protest to be assualted by our troops? How many of the left-wing human shields and other left-wingers who supported the enemy got assaulted?
Bumping both of your posts.
How is this different than yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater?
I'm not faulting your reasoning, only the quantity of the retribution. 10:1? Nah, maybe 1,000:1 or even higher?
Because their is no crowded theater at all. It is instead a terrorist movement that seeks to take away our rights.
That is a BIG difference that obviously you fail to see.
See tagline.
"You're right. The US lamestream media are hiding the fact that at least two UN workers, most likely Europeans, were BEHEADED."
They don't want to make the crowd seem as extremists :)
In all seriousness, if we had no US soldiers in the ground, it would be totally different. But if this spreads, and it will, many 19 year old soldiers will pay with their lives. So the "preacher" had the right to do it, but...
Well not too long back I read about how young girls were not able to go out in public in certain parts of France without being beaten and raped unless they wore the burka.
Of course they had a right to go out without a burka but.....
Then of course there freedom of expression might upset the radical Islamists so I guess they shouldn't do it.
Maybe we should go beat the crap out of anyone who trys to stand up for these girls. They may cause the radical Islamists to get upset and murder.
So what you're both suggesting is that we appease the rabid Islamist murderers.
And when do we get to stop appeasing them?
You know, it doesn't take a Koran burning to set off these cretins. A Danish cartoonist had to audacity to draw a cartoon with an imaginary Mohammad in it. PEOPLE WERE KILLED in the riots over ... a cartoon.
Both Valin and JimSEA suggested far more than just appeasing radical Islamists. They both suggested punishing anyone who dares not toe that line.
It is a not a shame if he gets burned down to the ground or beaten for his freedom of speech seemed to be the suggestion.
I don't hold the pastor to nearly the same level of blame as the killers or those that incited the mob. Yet, I can't hold him blameless either.
Must sleep on the story and discussion, but this just hasn't set right with me since reading it this afternoon.
How about taking care of the real problem?
The terrorists who committed the murders!!!
Or should be careful not to incite them with our freedom of speech?
The Islamists must be cackling with glee when they read posts like that.
They've got their jihad against the West half won — by getting Americans to scapegoat their own.
I do admit that the pastor with his actions walks a very fine and dangerous line but....
There are many of us who fear losing our rights more than we fear radical terrorists of Islam.
I will publically burn A Koran tommorrow if I feel like I have to stand up for my rights. Screw anyone who wants to try and kill me for it.
He did prove his point.
What if they end up killing innocent others because of it?
(ok, I'm off for the night now for sure, will look for your response tomorrow if you care to post one)
I will just add that I know that the positions each of you take come from a deep love and support for our troops and that you want Americans to act in ways that will support them and not put them in harms ways.
I apoligise for the passion I displayed against your posts. I do overall disagree with the position you are all taking but I do 100% respect the place whereas it is coming from.
I do not want to see our troops be underminded and I know this issue has two sides to it.
Please accept my apoligies if I over-reacted with my counter points.
Oh, yeah, blame the pastor not the frickin' muslim loonies who actually committed the murders of someone who was totally innocent in the burning of the frickin' sh** book of the muslims. Your kind of thinking is why the MSM and politicians keep their mouths closed and allow this murderous cult to stay in business.
Another point is that muslims seem to lack the ability to apply some self-criticism now and then.
Where are all the statements from Mohammadans to the media claiming that while they are critical of the Koran burning, they denounce the slaughter of innocent people by Afghan extremists who were not behaving as Muslims should?!?
.... waiting.... waiting.... (crickets chirping).... waiting....
Well Jones is a moron. HE had to know that innocents would die as a result of his stunt. He is an attention whore. Had he traveled to Afghanistan or some other insane Muslim country and put his butt on the line he would be walking the walk.
Of course the Muslim religion breeds savagery nothing more nothing less. These people are insane and the people who try to portray the savages as a Religion of Peace are kidding themselves.
