A family friend recently attended a lecture by one of the propagandists crisscrossing the country to inform his audience of the reasons Americans have to stop the "menace" of "Shariah" that threatens to "take over" American society. If that proposition was not being taken so seriously by so many people it would be laughable. If its political consequences were not so potentially grave it could be easily dismissed.
However, it is being taken seriously by a lot of people and it promises frightening political consequences. Therefore, we need to expose the campaign warning against "Shariah creep" for what it is. Namely, among other things, the latest installment in a long line of diversionary cultural issues that attract the demography that has been code-named the "American people" to support policies that at the end of the day only strengthen the corporate interests that are systematically destroying the American middle class and undermining its economic interests.
The speaker, preying on the ignorance, fear and gullibility of his audience proceeded to spin a preposterous tale of Islam as a menacing ideology, similar to Nazism. According to the speaker, Islam is a menacing force poised to permanently scuttle the glorious, historically exceptional American experiment, leaving in its wake a trail of severed limbs, usurped rights and enslaved women who will be flung mercilessly back into a misogynistic past, which western humanism has long left behind.
As if the shock effect of lies big enough to embarrass Goebbels was not enough, the speaker accentuated the alleged barbarism of Islam with repulsive images such as a close-up shot of the ripped-up vagina of a woman who supposedly had been forced to endure the "mandated" Muslim practice of female genital mutilation. My friend was in shock for two weeks after the presentation.
This is the type of garbage that is being fed to crowds of people in community centers, libraries, college campuses, police departments, FBI offices, military bases and at other venues all over the country. [1] The campaign it represents is well-funded and increasingly pervasive. In the face of such an onslaught, what is a Muslim to do? The answer is simple. Fight back with the truth. Allah mentions in the Qur'an,
"Truth comes and falsehood perishes. Falsehood is inherently perishable" (17:81).
We have to illuminate the darkness descending on this land with the truth.
Among the lies, slanders and distortions of the speaker was the following, "Allah has 99 names in the Qur'an and none of them mention love." The balance of this essay will focus on revealing the blatant nature of this lie.
In the Qur'an, we read,
"Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to him in repentance!
In another verse, we read,
"And He is Oft-forgiving, All Loving" (85:14).
This name, al-Wadud, is also found in the hadiths that list the "Ninety-Nine Names of Allah."
Allah's name, The All Loving, manifests itself in many ways in the life of the believer and in the world. For example,
"Verily, Allah loves those who do good" (2:195).
"Verily, Allah loves those who are penitent and those who keep themselves pure" (2:222).
"For verily, Allah loves those who are righteous" (3:76).
"…And Allah loves those who are patient' (3:146).
|"…Allah loves those who trust in Him" (3:159).
"…Allah loves those who are just" (5:42).
"…Allah loves those who foster purity" (9:108).
[2] These phrases are repeated numerous times in the Qur'an. Notice the qualities they mention as being associated with the Love of Allah : Goodness, penitence, purity, righteousness, patience, trust in God and justice. These are all religious virtues that those who hate Islam consciously avoid mentioning in their twisted, defamatory presentations.
As for the prophetic hadith, the instances where the manifestations of Allah's love are mentioned are too numerous to be recalled in this brief overview. We relate the following, by way of example: "Allah loves a servant who is magnanimous in his business dealings…" (Malik, al-Muwatta, 1376). "Divorce your heart from the world and Allah will love you…" (Ibn Majah, 4102). "Allah is gentle and loves gentleness. He gives to those displaying gentleness what he does not give to those displaying violence" (Ibn Majah, 3688). "Allah loves the righteous, pious, inconspicuous people. When they are absent they are not missed. When they are present they are not called out or noticed. Their hearts are lamps of guidance. They emerge from every place of darkness" (Ibn Majah, 3989). "Allah is beautiful, He loves beauty" (Muslim, 261). "Very, the most beloved of people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection and the one closest to Him will be a just leader…" (Tirmidhi, 1329). This is just a representative sample of such hadiths. Again, notice the qualities they emphasize.
Before returning to the Qur'an, let us consider what love is in the theological sense. We read in the American Heritage Dictionary, under the definition for Love: "6. Theology. a. God's benevolence and mercy towards man." Based on this and similar definitions, God's benevolence and mercy cannot be separated from His love. In this regard, as we know, all of the 114 chapters of the Qur'an, with the exception of a single one, open with the phrase, "In the name of Allah, the All Merciful (ar-Rahman), the Mercy-Giving (ar-Rahim)." These two names of Allah , both involving mercy, occur over 170 times in the Qur'an. As for those names that imply love, benevolence or mercy, we could mention: al-Ghaffar, The Most Forgiving; al-Wahhab, The Giver of Gifts; al-Razzaq, The Provider of Sustenance; al-Lateef, The Most Gentle; al-Haleem, The Forbearing; al-Mujeeb, The Answerer; al-Wasi', The Most Expansive in His Grace; al-Barr, The Source of Goodness; al-Tawwab, The Acceptor of Repentance; al-'Afuww, The Pardoner; al-Ra'uf, The Compassionate; al-Mughni, The Enricher; al-Mani', The Source of Assistance; al-Nafi', The Benefactor, al-Hadi, The Gentle Guide; Al-Rashid, The Wise Guide. There are other names that convey other meanings associated with the terms in question. However, they do not appear on the most reliable lists of "The Ninety-Nine Names." Hence, we leave off their mention, even though they are taken from the Qur'an and the Prophetic Hadith.
Among the specific manifestations of His mercy mentioned in the Qur'an we list the following, again, as a representative sample:
"And among His signs is that He has made for you,
|"Behold the effects of your Lord's mercy; how He revives the earth after its death… (30:50),"
"Were it not for the grace of Allah and His mercy you would have followed Satan,
Verses of this type, mentioning various manifestations of Allah's mercy, abound in the Qur'an. Perhaps the most moving recounting of Allah's mercy is to be found in the chapter of the Qur'an fittingly entitled, "The All-Merciful:"
The All-Merciful! He has taught the Qur'an. He has created the human. He has taught him to clearly express himself. The sun and moon move along in a measured course. The stars and trees are prostrating themselves. The sky! He has raised it aloft and established the balance; that you not disrupt the balance. Establish weighting with justice and do not cheat in the balance. The earth! He has spread it out for all creatures. In it are fruits, date palms with fruitful clusters, husk-covered grains and flowers. Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny? (55:1-13)
These are meanings that are well-known to a Muslim who is familiar with the message of the Qur'an. As for one who has only been exposed to the caricature of Islam being presented by deceitful propagandists who distort the beautiful message of the Qur'an for their own purposes, these passages likely come as a shock. These and the many other passages from the Qur'an and Hadith, which we could usher to give an even more comprehensive presentation of the existence and meaning of love and mercy in proper Islamic teachings are not only meant to endear Allah and His Messenger, peace upon him, to the faithful. Rather, they are also meant to encourage loving, merciful and benevolent behavior in a believer.
To emphasize this point, we present the following prophetic hadiths: Our Messenger, blessings and peace upon him, has stated that he is a gift of mercy. He declared, "O People! Verily, I am a gifted mercy" (Hakim, al-Mustadrak, 100). He further stated, "One who shows no mercy will be shown no mercy" (Bukhari, 5997; Muslim, 2318). Similarly, "Whoever shows no mercy to humanity, Allah will show him no mercy" (Bukhari, 6013; Muslim, 2319). Likewise, "The merciful people will be shown mercy by the All Merciful; be merciful to those on earth and the One in heaven will be merciful to you" (Abu Dawud, 4941; Tirmidhi, 1924). Also, "You will not believe until you are merciful to each other." Those hearing this replied, "O Messenger of Allah! All of us are merciful [to each other]." He responded, "Not the mercy one of you displays to his companion, rather mercy to all people." "Mercy is only removed from the heart of a Hell-bound wretch" (Abu Dawud, 4942). During the Battle of Uhud when his enemies were on the verge of killing him, the Prophet was asked to pray for their destruction. He refused, declaring, "I was sent as a mercy. I was not sent to damn people."
This is what our religion teaches us and we have a responsibility to bring this message to humanity. If we choose to sit back and allow others to portray our religion based on their ideology of hate, we will have only ourselves to blame if the image of Islam presented by the likes of the propagandist mentioned at the outset of this article becomes the one accepted by the majority of our fellow citizens. If we continue to allow wholesale falsehoods to be fabricated about our religion, and then go unchallenged until they become entrenched in the popular imagination, our silence will be contributing to a climate that might prove extremely detrimental to not only the interests of our community, but also to the interests of our country.

Mendocino Solar Service, Little River
Mendocino Solar Service was started in 1994 to provide sales, installation, and service of solar systems to Mendocino County residents. Bruce Erickson and Maggie Watson bought the business in 2005 from its founder. Erickson and Watson now employ 4 people and to help them design, sell, install, and service solar systems all over the county. They are also solar contractors for GRID Alternatives, a non-profit that provides solar systems on low income homes.
When Bruce Erickson and Maggie Watson bought Mendocino Solar in 2005, they knew they needed to transition from being employees to being business owners. They had little previous experience running a business, and needed to get up to speed on how to price their services and products, how to manage cash flow and make financial plans, and, once they were ready to bring some new people on, how to handle employees issues. Financing and marketing were areas they wanted to explore as well.
Bruce and Maggie started meeting with Mike Carroll, who assisted them with financial planning and employee management, as well as helping them obtain a $12,000 stimulus grant and a $95,000 business loan. They also worked with Johanna Jensen on social media marketing. Bruce also attended Profit Mastery classes and met with Nancy Banker to learn how to apply the Profit Mastery concepts to Mendocino Solar.
The stimulus grant provided a great opportunity for training, and the business loan allowed Bruce and Maggie to refinance and build their new shop. Armed with the tools they needed for effective business management, Bruce and Maggie have been able to increase Mendocino Solar's sales by over $730,000, and they have recently reported an increase in profits of over $70,000—and this during an economic downturn. Since starting the business they have been able to hire 4 additional full-time employees and part-time workers as well.
"West Company is a fabulous low-cost one-stop for local business owners," says Bruce. Maggie adds that looking back on their work with Mike Carroll, West Company has been like a "mentoring resource" in business management. On the topic of social media, Maggie says that Johanna Jensen's "knowledge and experience really opened that world, which has been important for our business." Bruce and Maggie care deeply about their clients and employees, and are committed to bringing solar energy into the mainstream. Mendocino Solar has been designated as a SunPower premier dealer and their goal is to become the largest volume solar installer in Western Mendocino County. Looking ahead, the future is sunny indeed.

Is OSHA Falling Down on the Job?
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: August 2, 1987
In the office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that covers Travis County, Tex., there is a file that reads like a roadmap to laborer Victor Nazario's death. For more than a year, the file shows, OSHA inspectors visited worksites of the Austin-based Bland Construction Company. Almost every time, they found workers deep in trenches that were not shored up or sloped to protect them from the cave-in accidents that kill scores of construction workers every year, about 10 annually in Texas alone.
Each time, OSHA fined Bland for violations of basic safety rules. The company promptly paid the modest sums - which were never more than $2,000 - and the digging continued. On April 21, the file shows, OSHA fined Bland $1,260 after an inspector investigated an accident purportedly caused by Bland's latest violation of trench-safety rules. That was the accident in which Victor Nazario died alone under 14 feet of rock and soil that collapsed without warning.
Last Monday, a grand jury in Austin charged Bland with criminally negligent homicide in the death of Mr. Nazario. Bland did not respond to phone calls and has not yet answered the indictment in court. But Travis County Attorney Ken Oden says the charges do not tell the whole story. ''OSHA provides no meaningful protection for employees,'' he said. ''The facts speak for themselves: We are killing people in my state at an epidemic rate.''
OSHA has recently been winning the kind of tough-cop publicity that most enforcement agencies would sell their badges for. One week, it made headlines by hitting the Chrysler Corporation with a $1.57 million fine. Another week, it slammed meatpacker IBP Inc. with a proposed fine of $2.59 million. On Wednesday, it named the General Dynamics Corporation in a $615,000 case. After cultivating a low profile for years, OSHA has suddenly been cast as a born-again watchdog.
''We have been disturbed by the conditions that we have found'' at some companies, said John A. Pendergrass, the Assistant Secretary of Labor who heads OSHA.
But behind the flurry of citations is an agency that, the evidence suggests, is adrift and overwhelmed by its task. OSHA critics say there is a growing number of accidents like the one that killed Victor Nazario that could have been prevented. And they say that too many of the agency's big cases involve only record-keeping violations and do not make workers any safer.
Charged with protecting the health and safety of tens of millions of workers, OSHA is understaffed and confused about its mission, according to its own consultants. It moves painfully slowly when it decides to act and, its consultants say, is plagued by management problems. The agency does not even keep close track of accidents that kill workers on the job. And both the agency and its critics agree that OSHA has slipped into regulatory gridlock that has stalled development of rules almost totally.
''The agency is not functioning,'' said Nicholas A. Ashford, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an occupational-health expert who advised OSHA officials in both the Carter and Ford Administrations.
Mr. Pendergrass disagrees. He says an overall decline in injuries and illnesses since the agency opened its doors in the early 70's proves that OSHA is doing its job. ''Most people who would look critically would conclude that the agency is a better organization than it was in 1972 and they would even say that it is better than it was six years ago,'' he said.
To be sure, many of OSHA's problems date back to 1970, the year that Congress enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Funding, staffing levels and enforcement tools were never sufficient to mount much more than a scatter-shot approach to monitoring the nation's five million or so workplaces. Moreover, the agency has yet to figure out how to control large numbers of hazardous substances. And in terms of curbing accidents, ''not a lot has changed in the last 17 years,'' said John Moran, director of the safety research division of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, an arm of the Department of Health and Human Services. Nonetheless, until the Reagan years, the business community believed OSHA was firmly committed to correcting safety and health violations, Professor Ashford said. In the 1980 Presidential campaign, however, Ronald Reagan attacked OSHA for burdening companies with overly technical regulations, and when he took office he quickly cut the agency's budget. Then, Reagan appointees changed OSHA rules, exempting many employers from inspections. 'Nice Guy' Approach In 1984, after three years of what the unions called OSHA's ''nice guy'' approach to workplace safety, the rate of work-related injuries and illnesses jumped to 8 for every 100 workers, up from 7.6 the previous year. It was the largest one-year increase in OSHA's history. The injury and illness rate stayed nearly as high the next year and some experts predict there will be another jump when figures for 1986 are released this fall.

It's officially fall, which signals plenty of beginnings and endings — the end of good climbing and biking weather, the beginning of snow falling in the mountains and looking forward to ski season. It also signals the beginning of mountain film festival season, or, as I like to call it, "Cinematic Stoke Season," in which we get the chance to see the work of adventure filmmakers and athletes on the big screen. Sure, not every film festival starts in the fall and winter, but lots of the heavy hitters do, beginning in September and October. Here's a list of our favorites in North America and Europe.
Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival
You might call Banff the granddaddy of all mountain film festivals—it started in 1976 when local climbers and skiers were looking for something to do between seasons. Since then, of course, it's grown into its reputation as one of the biggest and best, touring more than 600 locations on all seven continents (including Antarctica).
Banff, Canada, October 26 - November 3
Boulder Adventure Film Festival
Tent-bound during a storm in the Himalayas, climber Jonny Copp dreamed up the idea of a film festival in his hometown of Boulder, Colorado, writing notes on scratch paper for a community event based around outdoor films and activism. In 2005, with the help of friends, he put on the first Adventure Film Festival, which became an annual event. When Copp died on an expedition to Mt. Edgar in China in 2009, the festival carried on and grew, now showing in New York, Chamonix, Santiago, Chile, Sydney, and Asheville, North Carolina.
Boulder, Colorado, October 3 - 5
Reel Rock
In 2006, two of America's top climbing filmmakers, Big UP Productions' Josh Lowell and Sender Films' Peter Mortimer, decided to start a climbing-only film festival called Reel Rock. It grew into a TV series that premiered in 2013, and now shows in more than 400 locations worldwide, reaching 100,000 members. Reel Rock launched in Boulder, Colorado, on September 19, and is now touring.
This year's festival features High Tension, the story of the brawl on Everest between climbers and Sherpas, as well as Spice Girl, UK climber Hazel Findlay's exploration of wild trad routes, and the Sensi, Yuji Hirayama and Daniel Woods' quest to establish what could be the highest, hardest rock climbing route in the world on Borneo's Mt. Kinabalu. Check out the trailer below.
Currently touring
Kendal Mountain Festival
The four-day Kendal Mountain Festival brings together speakers, books, exhibitions, and adventure films into what it bills as "by far the largest and most varied event of its type in the world." It's also the venue for the awarding of the prestigious Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. The festival kicks off in Kendal, England in November. Can't make it? Don't worry, you can catch the 'best of' film tour which plays at various European destinations in 2014.
November 14, Kendal, England
International FreeSki Film Festival
ESPN.com called this Montreal-based ski film fest "the Cannes of the ski world," if that is any indication of the caliber of films on tap. Started in 2007, the iF3 now shows in Annecy, Innsbruck, Santiago, Whistler, and Denver. The Montreal festival showed September 11-15, and the other tour stops will follow.
Currently touring
European Outdoor Film Tour
With more than 200 European tour screenings in its 13th year, The European Outdoor Film Tour can make a case for being the biggest adventure film festival in Europe. Kicking off October 12, the tour will make more stops in Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Austria. A highlight? Wide Boyz, exploring the world of off-width climbing.
Currently touring
Radical Reels Tour
Every year at the Banff Film Festival, one night of films is dedicated to adrenaline. From this tradition came the Radical Reels Tour, the traveling selection of short (mostly 30 minutes or less) biking, flying, climbing and skiing films from the current festival, stopping each year at more than 60 international locations.

Easy call. Bad rule but right call.

Easy call. Bad rule but right call.
All good bro. Have about as much time to spare as the replay guys do when the Eagles are on offense these days but I'm still watching the Birds.
(And my boy DeSean)
Couple of observations:
That was an awful game for a blowout, not that I care.
Nobody mentions the fact that the Eagles are winning with a backup at the most important position in sport.
Vick's 6 TD game against the Skins?
Mike Vick baby. :clap:
Take the starters out if we score here?
Foles is killing it.
Was really hoping this game would matter, oh well. Good to see the offense killing it. It will scare the Cowboys' equally bad D.
Loadsa time.
Determined to lose this one it seems. D staying stout.
D playing like they have a point to prove. I like it.
I was really hoping he'd run for the TD there.
Why go for two there? No matter, that was two shots of Vick at his absolute best.
The 0-41 prediction was a shocker but let's not start s**king each other's d***s just yet. We started 3-1 last season right?
One thing I can say; that first half was better than anything we saw all last season. Also, it was a joy to watch as a fan.
That McCoy cut aroused me.
I'm so out of the loop at the moment. Are we happy with the pick?
Considering they played Real twice already, and won the 2-leg if you take an aggregate score. And any team can beat another team in their domestic league no matter the current gap between the teams....
I really don't understand that sentiment. Granted they're being well-beaten by Bayern in the Bundesliga this year but they're consecutive champions and finished top of the hardest group in the CL...
United were unlucky that Real came second in their group (beaten by Dortmund may I add), otherwise the knockout system is fine. UEFA rankings don't mean **** in one competition.
Offside goal each...guess it evens it up.
It was offside...
When you have plays like this in a supposedly competitive, professional football game I think you can see why people hate it.

EATING WELL; Low-Fat Diets: How Low to Go?
Published: January 12, 1994
(Page 2 of 2)
But these experts have not taken into account the people who practice low-fat eating by consuming what one health professional has called the Entenmann's diet: nonfat cakes and nonfat cookies, along with nonfat yogurt. These foods, though almost fat-free, are still extremely high in calories and because they contain little or no fiber, are easy to overeat.
Dr. Ron Goor, who with his wife, Nancy, has written books advocating high-carbohydrate diets with 20 percent of calories from fat, said some people understand this means eating complex carbohydrates: fruits, vegetables and grains. But he added: "The immediate response of others is, 'Oh, great,' and they head immediately for the inner aisles of the supermarket where Entenmann's, etc., is."
Dr. Jeanne Goldberg, an associate professor of nutrition at Tufts University, reports undereating, not overeating. More of the women in her classes than ever before are living on diets made up of less than 10 percent fat, and they are doing it, she said, by eating every fat-free product on the market. This is not surprising since 29 percent of the 1,000 adult respondents in a national telephone survey for the American Dietetic Association "believe it's important to totally eliminate fat from their diets." And Vegetarian Times magazine, citing the survey, commented, "Many people have misconstrued experts' caveats against overdoing fat as a blanket condemnation of any and all fat."
Such diets can be hazardous, Dr. Goldberg said. "You worry about iron, about the loss of the menstrual period, and it's bad for the bones," she said. "Women are surfacing who are getting too little protein. The ideal diet is 10 percent fat, but someone has to be extraordinarily knowledgeable about nutrition to follow it. Most people don't approach it like that. They use man-made foods, and we are not sure what kinds of trace nutrients are in the food."
"A competent nutritionist can provide an individual with tools to select the proper diet at 10 percent," she continued, "but that is very different from setting the public loose with a book and having them attempt to select a diet with 10 percent fat. That is asking for trouble.
"The best part of most of these books is that people won't stick with them for long. They probably are not horribly dangerous for most people except young women and also young families who get so caught up in this their little kids fail to thrive."
Dr. Ornish replied: "You can eat an unhealthy diet at any level of fat. How complicated is it to eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains?"
Marion Nestle, the chairwoman of the nutrition department at New York University, said the new regimen is "a third world diet, associated with all kinds of undernutrition."
"You need a diet that is comfortable, convenient, pleasant, easy to maintain," she said. "Ten percent is fine for therapeutic purposes; otherwise, it's just impossible."
Dr. William Connor, a professor of medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland and the author, with his wife, Sonya, of several nutrition books, doesn't agree that a 10 percent diet is a starvation diet: "I don't think it's necessarily harmful because that is what most of the world is eating now, 10 to 15 percent."
But he said calories do count, adding: "There's no proof that any diet can produce permanent weight change. If you feed a pig corn, which is low in fat, it still gets fat."

This slick little bar at the Aldgate end of Brick Lane hosts club nights, live acoustic music, comedy, film screenings and variety events. There's a cute little garden area too, though it can get busy come summertime.
It's mostly about the cocktails at Apples and Pears. Options range from an eponymous house number (made from Russian Standard Platinum vodka, lemongrass, cloudy apple, garam masala caramel and Angostura bitters) to their take on a bloody mary - here called a 'bloody marley'. It's got a jerk kick, from Levi Roots' Reggae Reggae sauce.
There's a short wine list too, as well as Blue Moon, Hoxton Stout, Bethnal Pale Ale, Brick Lane Lager and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale catering to the beer hounds.
Late night music every weekend. Live music weekdays. Heated garden. Private hire.
We are a neighbourhood cocktail bar in east London, serving up well-crafted cocktails whilst introducing colourful flavours and ingredients. We are located just minutes from Aldgate East tube station with close proximity to Brick Lane, Shoreditch and Spitalfields.
We have aimed to create a cocktail bar where you can escape from the hustle, where you can meet new people and enjoy well-crafted drinks in a social environment. We pride ourselves on our social and friendly atmosphere, our varied music styles and a team that makes excellent cocktails.
Our music programme is eclectic and lively, spinning records from funk and old school hip hop to disco, Motown and soul - both at the weekends and during the week. We also have live acoustic sessions and other live music. Plus we offer retro cocktail specials for £6 from 5-8pm daily.
We have two floors: a lounge bar with a centre piece skylight bar, and a late-night basement bar with brick-vaulted ceiling which is available for private hire. Both bars have access to a heated garden.

The friendliest bar in London with the best cocktails, great music and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you never want to leave! Both owners and staff work incredibly hard and are continuously improving and updating the venue, listening to their customers and ensuring that everyone that passes by has an unforgettable experience.
What a great find. Small bar at what used to be considered the wrong end of Brick Lane. No more ! This is absolutely the right place to be. Friendly staff buzzing atmosphere and last night (at Wham Bam Thank You Mam ) 4 awesome female acoustic guitarists. The headliner - Emily Lee was a showstopper. If the stage had been raised a little to improve sight-lines this would have got 5 stars all the way.
Great little bar, with a lively upstairs, and intimate basement with a more clubby feel. Hosts lots of cool independent nights from smaller promoters. Well worth a look!

Visited here some time ago with my son. Tour was informative regarding the Civil War in the Knoxville area and the role of the house itself in that conflict. I will give it a "very good" if War Between the States is your thing...average if it isn't. They do a good job with the place & keep the spirit of...
We were married here in October of 2015 and we really enjoyed the home. There are definitely a lot of fixing up projects on the to-do list here but the organization that runs the house really doesn't seem to mind the wear and tear. We never had a problem setting appointments or getting things done but this may have more...
Knoxville is rich in history, particularly that of the Civil War. A soldier in the turret of Bleak House, as it is also known, shot and killed a Union soldier on the present site of Fort Sanders Manor. Confederate Hall was a companion home to the present day Armstrong-Lockett house, just down the street. It has loads of historical artifacts...
This gorgeous home was built in 1858 and was used by General James Longstreet, CSA as his headquarters during the Siege of Knoxville in November/December 1863.
Be sure to call ahead to ensure that a tour guide is available - you do not want to miss this gorgeous historic site.
I loved the history of the house, but it was hard to see and enjoy. If the one docent is leading a group through, no one will come to the locked door, and the tours take about an hour. In addition, no photos are allowed inside. I got the feeling the house is run more as an event and wedding...
The place is not bad and has that historical flare. Some good points of learning about the Civil War in Knoxville guides informative. I also believe they cater a lot to weddings and receptions so in saying that I believe it could be open on weekends when there are no receptions. I believe they more adapt to being a reception...
An incredibly beautiful house full of history. Gorgeous gardens. Well worth the visit
Served as Longstreets HQ during Seige of knoxville in 1863.
Called Monday 6/30 about visiting The Bleak House. I was told by a nice young gentle that the house would be open today, Thursday, 07/03. He advised me that I probably should be there by 1:00 so that I would have time to get to Pigeon Forge for a show that we were going too. We made our plans drove...
Absolutly one of best tours ever! The guides are some of the most knowledgeable friendly people we have met on this trip. Wonderfully kept home with one heck of a history, even has the cannon ball and bullet holes left in the walls!
This old house is kept in great shape & have staff on site to take you on guided tours. They do a tremendous job of pointing every interesting detail. My daughter's bridal shower was held there & it was decorated beautifully. She and her grandmother did the guided tours for years. My daughter began going with her grandmother when she...

Neuropathic pain encompasses a range of painful conditions of diverse origins including diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia and nerve injuries after surgery. It includes pain following paraplegia, hypersensitivity to non-painful stimli (allodynia), for example after surgery or during migraine attacks, spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia and diffuse muscle tenderness of myofacial syndromes. Back pain, cancer pain and AIDS associated pain also qualify as neuropathic pain. Currently prescribed drugs for neuropathic pain are often addictive, are not effective for all patients and have various side effects including tolerance, addiction, sedation, liver toxicity. The financial burden from the los of productivity in the US alone numbers in the billions of dollars notwithstanding the misery these patients suffer. Recently, we have discovered a series of nonsedating alpha2/alpha3 BzR/GABA (A) agonists that are active against neuropathic pain as well as anxiety disorders and convulsions. These agents do not develop tolerance and are comprised of a privileged scaffold (imidazobenzodiazepine), the result of which has less chance for toxicity. Because they exhibit little or no efficacy at a1 and a5 subtypes, they will exhibit very little or no abuse potential. This research centers on the modification of these new agents to prolong duration of action in vivo and to provide better subtype selectivity at either a2 or a3 BzR/GABA(A)ergic subtypes. This would preclude the origin of side effects including sedation, ataxia, amnesia, tolerance and abuse potential. In addition, this work will help to establish which GABAerigc subtype in the spinal cord is the nociceptive target of choice. An eventual goal is to replace the addictive opioid analgesics with these safer, non addictive ligands for treatment of all types of neuropathic and inflammatory pain, in human populations.
The design and development of new nonsedating, nonaddictive agents to treat neuropathic pain is under study. These agents are designed to treat diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, phantom limb pain, pain from nerve injuries after surgery. This includes pain after paraplegia, hypersensitivity to non-painful stimuli (allodynia) and migraine attacks. It is felt these agents will also be effective in back pain, cancer pain and AIDS associated pain without the side effects of morphine (including addiction) or of COX-2 inhibitors (heart problems). There is a significant unmet need for new drugs to treat neuropathic pain. The financial burden from the loss of productivity in the US alone numbers in the billions of dollars, notwithstanding the misery these patients must endure.

Our Creator God has made a magnificent, complex, beautiful world, and this world is not unaffected by what we humans do.
Our consumption, our use of natural resources, our output of waste – all of these things affect the creation that God made and declared good.
Beyond the direct effects on "the environment," our failure as stewards of creation also impacts the well-being of other humans, particularly the poor, the hungry, and the powerless, who God has called us to aid.
Christians who are concerned for social justice shouldn't consider creation care and justice as separate or unrelated issues. Indeed, environmental degradation often first and most affects poor and vulnerable populations.

Back in 2010, when Dana Saxon decided that she wanted to trace her family's lineage, her expectations were low. "I thought, for people who survived slavery, there'd be little public information," she says. What happened next "blew her mind"—and led to the creation of Ancestors Unknown, an international nonprofit that is bringing the past to the most impressionable among us: young students.
Saxon discovered that public archives had not completely ignored the existence of the enslaved, who legally were considered the same as property. While putting together the puzzle of her family's past, she had an epiphany: "There were so many ancestors waiting to be discovered, waiting to be appreciated for what they did to help get us to where we are today," she says. Knowing that most school curriculums do not include the names and contributions of people from the African Diaspora, she "wanted to find a way to help young people place themselves and their ancestors in the larger context of history."
But before Saxon could change how people learn, she had to return to school. So she quit her job as a social network director at a mentoring organization, packed up her Brooklyn apartment and headed to University of Amsterdam to earn her master's degree in sociology, with a focus on migration and ethnic studies. "I wanted concrete research to tie in the significance of knowledge of family history with the development of positive identity in black populations," she says.
After graduating, she went to work creating Ancestors Unknown, which offers a two-part curriculum that can be used in high schools around the world. One part consists of genealogy research training, and the second centers on history. "It focuses on the untold stories of the African Diaspora—to open people's minds that our history is there, it hasn't been erased," she says.
Saxon launched with two pilot programs in 2013. One was in Suriname, where she enlisted local educators and historians to host workshops for youth participants. The other is in Charleston, South Carolina, where a high school English teacher used the curriculum to boost her students' enthusiasm for learning, while showing them that they were capable of researching and writing about something that mattered to their own lives.
The programs were successful, in large part because they taught Saxon a much-needed lesson: She needed to figure out how to monetize her offerings to keep the nonprofit moving forward. The first step: go online. "Now instead of me having to come and present it, you can access and license it through our website," she says about the revised curriculum, which can be optioned for six-month sessions or a full academic year. "And because it is comprehensive, you don't have to be an historian or genealogist to teach it."
The second step: find supporters. Though she was able to launch thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, Saxon needed more—and more stable—financial resources. That is starting to arrive in the form of sponsor support from established companies including Barnes & Nobles and the Gilder-Lehrman Foundation. Most recently, Ancestry.org donated free access to all of the schools using her curriculum.
In just a year, Saxon and Ancestors Unknown have already changed lives. When she went for a follow-up visit in Charleston, she asked students, "Why is it important to be remembered?" and listened as the kids excitedly explained that after learning about their ancestors' achievements, they plan on living lives that will be remembered by their descendants. One student, on the verge of suspension, was more engaged than he had been all school year, peppering her with questions and making the connection between history, migration patterns, and his own future.
Though Saxon's initial goal was to educate young people, she will not be satisfied until she changes the very face of genealogy research. That includes revising the curriculum for colleges and independent researchers, but she has the bigger picture in mind. "It's typically an older or retired person who says, let me document the family for the kids." Saxon wants younger generations to become the keepers of the family history. "Right now, it's just me and the old people in the archives…but that's going to change."

Mortgage lenders are falling over themselves to feature in the best buy tables, and with the help of the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme are now offering some head-turning deals.
With First Direct launching a five-year fixed rate at 2.99 per cent and Tesco Bank a two-year fixed mortgage at 1.99 per cent in the past week, there's a growing case for moving away from your current lender's Standard Variable Rate and locking into one of these low-rate home loans.
Unfortunately these hot mortgage products are only available to borrowers with a sizeable stake to put down, and in the case of First Direct's 2.99 per cent deal you can borrow only 65 per cent of the property value.
Even though the First Direct mortgage has a hefty-looking fee of £1,999, because it is spread over five years and the rate has come down from 3.79 per cent the mortgage still works out £2,336 cheaper over five years, or £39 a month, for someone with a 25-year, £150,000 mortgage.
It's not just the established lenders offering these more competitive mortgages; some of the new providers are weighing in with some aggressive price cuts too.
When Tesco launched its first range of mortgage products, it was met with a muted response from the media amid claims that it was not competitive enough with the established players.
Since its debut in the mortgage market on 6 August, the supermarket bank has really raised its game and the latest rate cuts will give its high street rivals something to think about.
This is the third set of rate reductions in a little over six weeks, with the latest round on the back of the Tesco bank's application to join the Funding for Lending Scheme.
The sub-2 per cent rate for the 60 per cent LTV two-year fixed deal is the mortgage that will grab all the headlines, with the rate cut by 0.65 per cent and £300 shaved off the product fee just ten days after it was originally launched.
The two-year fix at 70 per cent LTV is another deal worth mentioning – the rate on this product has been cut by 0.8 per cent from 3.19 per cent at launch to 2.39 per cent today.
This 0.8 per cent reduction for someone looking for a £150,000 mortgage (25-year term) will cut the monthly repayment cost by £61, from £726 to £665 a month, amounting to a saving of £1,464 over the two-year term – the equivalent of more than two monthly repayments.
It's excellent news for consumers that the Bank of England's scheme is driving mortgage costs down, but it's also disappointing that we are not seeing more of this frenzied activity at 80 per cent LTV and above, where it would really have an impact.
Forget the zero heroes for your credit card
The balance transfer segment of the credit card market continues to get the most coverage and dominate the best buys, but more suitable, good value long-term alternatives are being missed by consumers.
If you're looking for a new credit card, all the adverts and newspaper best buys will point you towards the longest 0 per cent deals on the market. While interest-free plastic can save you a small fortune in interest costs if used wisely, there are also some very solid all round credit cards on the market that rarely get a mention due to the blinkered focus on zero per cent balance transfers. You can get 22 months-plus terms on free credit on balance transfers, but rates when the introductory deal ends can be almost 20 per cent APR.
If you take advantage of the 0 per cent period then move on to another card and repeat the process it makes financial sense, but for a card for the longer term there are alternatives with a much lower rate. Halifax Clarity (12.9 per cent APR), MBNA Everyday (11.9 per cent ), Nationwide BS Select (12.9 per cent ) and Sainsbury's Bank Gold (9.9 per cent) won't top the best buys, but offer a long-term interest rate well below the market average 18 per cent.

How to Get Elected
The American system of choosing a President has not worked out badly, far as it may be from the Founding Fathers' vision of a natural aristocracy
August 1964 | Volume 15, Issue 5
The actual mechanics of the campaign have changed somewhat over the years. It was originally considered good form for the candidate to stay at home quietly during the pre-election season, maintaining the fiction that he was a Cincinnatus whom the office was seeking out—a good citizen unwilling to leave home and hearth except to answer the nation's call. Though a few exceptions occurred in the nineteenth century, the pattern was most dramatically broken by Bryan in 1896. The "Boy Orator of the Platte" travelled some 18,000 miles by rail, lifting his voice five and six times a day against the Republican worshippers of Mammon. Republican manager Mark Hanna, by contrast, kept his man, William McKinley, at home in Canton, Ohio, while delegations representing labor, industry, agriculture, the churches, immigrants, and every variety of political animal, journeyed to the McKinley residence. There, in carefully prepared extempore speeches, "the Major" (a title earned in the Civil War) would assure everyone that he was with them then and forever, world without end. This "front porch campaign" got McKinley elected, vindicating Hanna's judgment.
Nevertheless, American life was becoming more and more mobile, and it seemed fitting for the campaigner to get out and show himself to the populace. Even the Socialist candidate of 1908, Eugene V. Debs, mustered enough money to finance a nationwide rail tour. His train was appropriately called The Red Special. Ultimately, almost every candidate embarked on whistle-stop tours. They became a fine art. The train would pull into a depot, and while the locomotive panted up front, the prospective President would step out onto the observation platform and deliver a few remarks on the merits, beauties, and contributions to the national weal of Blankville. Working from a hasty briefing by his staff, he would refer to a few local dignitaries and monuments in a tone of affectionate familiarity. His last few words were sometimes drowned out by the hiss of steam and a hoarse toot as the train started once more. Now and then this was providential, for in the excitement of the moment, candidates have been known to bid a fond good-by to the wrong town. The whistle-stop tour was supposedly rendered obsolete after World War II, as the railroads declined from their former grandeur: but Harry Truman used the device with stunning effect in 1948. The 1960 campaign saw both candidates travel extensively, too, but this time by jet aircraft, leading to such miracles as the following: in the last week before election day, Kennedy spent Monday in Philadelphia; Tuesday in Los Angeles; Wednesday in San Francisco; Thursday in Phoenix, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Wichita Falls, and Oklahoma City; Friday in Virginia, Ohio, and Chicago; and Saturday in New York. Nixon's itinerary was equally fantastic. Yet neither man could forgo the campaign trail, for it is now part of the mystique that the candidate must appear to be not only everything to everyone, but must manifest himself in the flesh as nearly everywhere as possible. Or at least, everywhere in the states with large electoral votes. (Nixon made a point of showing himself in all fifty; but his repeat performances took place where the voters were thickest.)
Presumably the coming of television may work new changes in the pattern of the campaign, but it is too early to tell. The Nixon-Kennedy debates of 1960 are generally assumed to have had considerable impact in publicizing Kennedy nationally. It is also possible that Nixon suffered a psychological setback by appearing haggard and defensive in the first encounter. (He had recently been ill, and was badly made up.) But until such debates are repeated it will be difficult to know whether the picture tube is going to have an effect on campaigning comparable to that of the locomotive when it reached its peak use in the whistle-stop tours.
In the end, what does it all amount to? When the tumult and the shouting die, and both candidates have identified themselves with every ethnic group and every occupation, every private virtue and every public aspiration, and half the nation's public men have denounced the other half as deluded visionaries or corrupt tools of privilege—when all is over, the vote is divided almost evenly between the two parties. The Electoral College system masks the fact that few winning candidates get much more than fifty per cent of the ballots—or a little less, if third-party candidates take a portion of the total. Even Franklin D. Roosevelt, in winning the landslide election of 1936, got only something like fifty-eight per cent of the popular vote. The pattern of most elections reveals surprisingly close divisions. In 1880, fewer than 8,000 popular votes out of some 9 million cast separated Garfield, the winner, from Hancock, the loser. Eighty years later, Kennedy had 112,881 votes more than Nixon, out of a total of nearly 69 million. The difference was approximately one tenth of one per cent. These two are the narrowest gaps, but rarely are they very much wider. The winnertake-all system of the electoral vote by states distorts the reality of a near-perfect balance between major parties. But once that balance is understood, it is much easier to explain why political life settles back so quickly to normal, or why even the greatest "mandate" for an incoming President ordinarily permits him to undertake only gradual changes, and those circumspectly. There are no truly crushing victories or unbearable defeats, and consequently, no unchecked arrogance among the winners or hopeless bitterness among the losers. The nation remains in equilibrium.

Jacks Valley man gets probation
March 25, 2014
A 29-year-old Jacks Valley man who achieved a .49 blood alcohol content before he was arrested at his home for allegedly threatening his mother and her friend with a knife was sentenced to a suspended 90-day jail sentence on Wednesday.
Timothy Pavloff has Type I diabetes and was told by doctors he wouldn't live to see 30 if he didn't stop drinking, his mother told Justice of the Peace Steve McMorris.
"This case is about life and death," prosecutor Rick Casper said. "Most importantly it's about the defendant's life going forward."
Pavloff was convicted at a Feb. 27 trial of drawing a deadly weapon in a threatening manner.
Caspar sought the 180-day suspended sentence recommended in the substance abuse evaluation.
Defense attorney Derrick Lopez said Pavloff has remained sober since he was arrested Dec. 19 after an altercation at his mother's home. He asked McMorris to give Pavloff a 30-day jail sentence.
Pavloff has since started attending church regularly
His mother told McMorris she called the sheriff's office the day before because Pavloff was drinking, but that deputies told her there wasn't anything they could do unless he was violating the law. The next day she and her significant other broke into Pavloff's bedroom where he was holding a knife. She said he hasn't had a drink since then.
"When he drinks with his diabetes it made him a different person," she said. "I feel he's doing well right now. I feel safe with him. He was always shy, he was never a troublemaker."
McMorris suspended Pavloff's sentence for two years.
