Fire Andy Reid? Only the first step in fixing Eagles
For the seventh time in eleven games, Andy Reid's post-game assessment of his team's performance followed a familiar theme.
The reporters questioned the team's abundance of turnovers and penalties, questionable play-calling, third-down struggles, and defensive ineptitude.
Reid stuck with his career-long strategy of taking the blame for his team's problems. As usual, continued to respond to any and every question by saying that he simply has to do a better job of preparing his men to play.
For members of the media, an Andy Reid press conference is kind of like playing a match against one of those backboards you see at some tennis courts. You can hit any shot in your arsenal. And regardless of the force, spin or direction, the result is the same: a flat return right back in your direction.
The only thing different after the Eagles' embarrassing 38-20 dismantling by the New England Patriots was a new question about the home crowd's demands to fire the coach who insists that the buck stop with him.
In response to that question, Reid simply replied, "The way we played, I can understand it".
Eagles fans are hoping that Jeffrey Lurie has begun to understand it. After 13 years with Andy Reid, it is time for a better answer, both in press conferences and on the football field.
Reid's Eagles are a team with a flawed philosophy, dysfunctional coaching staff and undisciplined habits. And for the first time, this season's team seems all too ready to quit fighting when times are tough.
The only prescription for those symptoms is a change in leadership. And the change begins with the firing of Andy Reid.
Finding a new head coach can have a massive positive effect on a franchise. Simply compare the train wreck that was Mike Singletary's 49ers to the turnaround of the year that has occurred under Jim Harbaugh.
But, with any turnaround, there is more to be done than just the firing of the old coach. For the Eagles to be competitive with the Packers, Steelers and Patriots of the NFL (if not the Arizona Cardinals), there are a number of things that need to change within the NovaCare Complex and the team's on-field product.
So, here's how the Eagles can fix the mess that they find themselves in:
1. Fire Reid
Okay, so this one really is pretty simple. But his firing also implies that the disastrous experiment of Juan Castillo will end. Unfortunately, Reid's firing may mean that a fine coach like Howard Mudd moves on as well, but that may just be the cost of doing business.
2. Re-assign Howie Roseman and Hire a New G.M.
Lurie isn't selling his team anytime soon, and he probably isn't getting rid of team president Joe Banner. And after Howie Roseman delivered every high-profile free agent in the NFL during a limited signing period, his skills could be useful in the team's front office. But, signing free agents and evaluating talent that will build a winning franchise are two different things. If the Eagles still want to compete with for Super Bowls every year, it is time to get a general manager that can draft talented players and let him do his thing.
3. Find Immediate Help with 3 High Draft Picks
As it stands, the Eagles would have the 9th, 38th and 46th picks in April's NFL Draft. With Reid gone and a new GM in place, the team can scrap its absurd philosophy of ignoring impact linebackers and trying to run a high-octane attack with scrap heap offensive linemen. A new GM may actually use those high draft picks to take talented players as opposed to packaging them for multiple low-round "sleepers" who get cut during training camp. Just imagine the improvement in the Eagles defense if they can come out of a draft this year's version of Von Miller or Patrick Willis.
4. Cut Ties with DeSean Jackson
Ask yourself this question? What do teams like Pittsburgh, New England, and Green Bay have in common?
The answer: None of them are interested in me-first players who bring more drama than production. It would be a shame to lose a talent like Jackson and get nothing in return, but if the Eagles are trying to build a tough team that is ready to start winning again, they are better off not giving $10 million a year to a player who is afraid of contact and in love with stupid decisions.
5. Bring Back Physical Defensive Play
One of the most disappointing things about the 2011 Eagles is their complete lack of physical play on the defensive side of the ball. The team is now built around defensive ends who rush straight upfield and a secondary that is all but allergic to hitting. The NFL has become a league dominated by high-scoring, passing offenses. But, while teams like the Packers, Saints, and Steelers have won Super Bowls with game-changing offensive weapons, they all feature hard-hitting aggressive and athletic defenses. Any team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations must have a defense that can make big stops at the most intense points in a game. Sadly, the current version of the Eagles' defense lacks that type of toughness.
The Eagles are still one of the NFL's youngest teams, so if they fire Reid, they still have some of the pieces in place to quickly become relevant again. Unfortunately, there is also a good chance that Lurie and Banner decide that Reid deserves the chance to turn things around in 2012.
The decision to commit another season to Reid would be a mistake that delays the fixing of a flawed franchise for yet another year. It is time to start repairing some of the damage that has been done to a former top-tier franchise through bad leadership, bad coaching, and bad personnel moves.

South African A team has won the first of their four-day unofficial Test match at Townsville against Australia.
The SA A team recorded their greatest victory over their Australian counterpart on 10 August. They won this test by a resounding eight wickets to claim a 1-0 lead of the series.
Coach, Vincent Barnes was thrilled that their plan worked wonders at the end of the day.
"Our strategy was simple as we wanted to apply pressure on Australia from ball one and this confused them which is why they were battling," Barnes said.
The batting of the visitors seemed to be on point and well polished after they struggled in the Quadrangular one-day international. The hosts were trailing by 180 runs heading to the last day of the test match.
The former Proteas assistant bowlers coach laments their bowling as he feels it is a bit scrappy.
"We still got to be a bit more disciplined with our bowling especially when there's not enough help from the deck," said Barnes.
The team is without Mthokozisi Shezi who got a call up in the Proteas currently participating in Zimbabwe tour. The coach is proud of the player and wishes him luck and advised that he maintains his style.
"Keep it simple, back your skills and games plans," he said.
The fast bowler of the SA A team Kagiso Rabada, was thrilled by his performance and acknowledged his teammates for his great game.
The 19-year-old took two wickets same as Marchant de Lange which is a great showing and promising play.
"It is obviously a nice achievement and credit must go to my teammates also for playing as a unit and sticking to the game plan of the coach," he said.
"My main goal is to play for the Proteas as playing cricket is on top of my list and I am confident that will happen as it is every player's dream to play for the first team," said Rabada.
The second leg will take place from 14-17 of August in the same venue.

In order to access the SNF benefit under Medicare Part A, patients currently must be admitted to a hospital for at least three days. S. 569 would deem time an individual spends under observation status eligible to count towards satisfying the three-day requirement. Senator Schumer addressed the key importance of what this legislation would accomplish and specifically asked Tavenner if there is a way without Congressional action that CMS could administratively fix this issue. Tavenner responded that she would be happy to work on this issue. AHCA has long advocated that all days spent in a hospital, regardless of "inpatient" or "observation" status, should count toward Medicare's three-day hospital stay requirement.
AHCA has made the Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act a top priority and has been meeting with members of Congress to garner support for it. In addition, AHCA is part of a coalition that consists of key health care groups, such as the Center for Medicare Advocacy, Inc., and AARP, who are advocating for this important legislation. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced S. 569, and Representatives Joseph Courtney (D-CT) and Tom Latham (R-IA) introduced companion legislation, H.R. 1179, in the House of Representatives. AHCA will continue to provide updates on this important matter.

Magical, Runic, & Ancestral Weapons
While magical arms, armor, and equipment are incredibly rare, they are not unprecedented. For several decades, the Gnalmyr have been using a
number of processes to prepare Prysm shards and convert them into magical items.
Making Magical Items from Prysm
Prysm crystals that have been refined can also be grafted to existing weapons to make them magical: crystalline arrowheads can explode with elemental force, swords with a glittering crust of Prysm can shine like sun and cut down the living dead, and magical amulets and rings use Prysm like a foci for the arcane power they hold. Dwarves have their own approach to crafting magic items. Their study of the fundamental nature of the world has allowed them to develop a language of runes that, when properly carved and combined upon an object, imbues an item with magical power. The Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals is the best-known example of the dwarven artifice. Most magical items of this type are composed primarily of stone, though wood and bone are also requently engraved with the runes of power known to the dwarves. Some runes, referred to as Moonrunes only unleash their magical powers under starlight.
Mythical Items
In addition to these manufactured magical weapons, there are artifacts and treasures stashed in the hordes of the Ancestrals of the Ethervale. These ancient wares are one with the ephemeral substance of the spirits that reside there. Most have a translucent, insubstantial appearance and move as though weightless. Many appear to have been weathered by the passage of centuries but are as intact as if newly made. Weapons like the Sword of Ossoth, Moonblade and Varusk's Dagger of Vengeance are examples of these Ancestral magic items. Their origins are lost to history, with few resources left to discover their provenance or the full scope of what magic they can unleash.

Global focus for Grain Market Outlook conference
This year's AHDB Grain Market Outlook conference, which took place yesterday, emphasised the global nature of today's agricultural markets. The four speakers all had much to say about global developments and how these impact on the UK markets for cereals and oilseeds.
AHDB Lead Analyst, Jack Watts, spoke about the outlook for grain markets. With a third consecutive strong global harvest, prices are currently low and stocks are plentiful, particularly for wheat. However, he did highlight that some risks remain for maize, where stocks are lower relative to demand, albeit higher than in some recent years. The small number of major producing countries means that weather events can have more of an impact on global maize supplies than is the case for wheat.
The second speaker, Julian McGill from LMC International Ltd looked at the oilseed market and, in particular, its close relationship with crude oil. Falling oil prices had pulled down vegetable oil prices, although there is still potential for further falls. This was likely to lead to some reduction in production for most oilseeds but perhaps not for soyabeans, where demand for meal, notably from China, is a key market driver.
Hamish Smith from Capital Economics looked at the macroeconomic outlook. His view was that concerns about the Chinese economy have been overstated but that the Eurozone recovery was still fragile. He also highlighted how the strong US dollar meant that low commodity prices weren't necessarily feeding into decision making – highlighting rising soyabean prices in Brazil due to the depreciation of the real.
The final speaker was Dominic Watkins of DWF, who gave an overview of the Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (TTIP). Negotiations between the EU and US continue and may not be concluded before late 2016, with ratification taking longer still. Food and agriculture issues, such as GMOs, growth hormones and food labelling, are among the most challenging elements to be resolved.
Copies of the presentations and videos of the speakers will be available soon through the AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds website.

Sofiacome Agency created by professional photographers
Sofiacome Agency, the sensitivity of a look that captures the emotion of movement.
Sofiacome Agency was created over 20 years ago from a desire to eternalise the fleeting moments forever inscribed in the memory of emotions. After seven years spent working at an advertising agency, Sophie Anita founded the agency specialised in the photo and video coverage of weddings, corporate events, studio portraits and children photography. The professionnal photographers and filmmakers who are part of the agency favour authenticity and strive to make each instant a moment of eternal emotion. To provide the best quality of service and give each image its timeless character, the photo and video coverage produced by the Sofiacome agency goes beyond the basic expectations of a journalistic photoshoot : great attention to the aesthetics of each picture, the magical and elegant nature of motion, the play between light and shadows, the dynamic of perspectives and depth of field. The image is a result of a subtle harmony between the author of the images and its subject where anticipation, pace, surprise, humour, distance and discretion combine. Moving constantly, our photographers and filmmakers are attentive to each detail, the magical quality of spontaneity. They improvise to convey the story of an event for which the scenario is written in the moment.

In the Sky This Week – May 14, 2019
The weekend is over, and I'm still having trouble believing my wife and I were Science Co-Guests of Honor at MARCON 54 – a science fiction convention in Ohio. I told the head of programming that I felt like I'd violated some sort of protocol by not having been a "Fan GoH" first. On Saturday morning, my wife and I, and a couple other convention attendees helped judge participants of the Ohio State Science Fair for awards from the SOLAE Foundation. Some of these middle school and high school students were simply amazing! I was completely stunned at some of the concepts and technologies these students were working with; I seriously felt like a mental midget compared to some of these teens! Br.

It was a sunny warm day, and the sun now sets an hour later, so it was like spring. I did see some crocuses, and some trees starting to bloom the other day. And tonight our street was full of kids, shooting hoops, skateboarding, and just plain hanging out.
I went for an after-dinner stroll around the block (can't go much faster than a stroll these days), and Phelan decided to follow me on his Skuut bike in his stocking feet. He's quite fast on that little thing, I didn't even notice he didn't have any shoes on.
It was OK until we hit a broken patch in the sidewalk, filled with dirt. Then Phelan realized the down-side of being out in your stocking feet. I had to lift him, Skuut bike and all, over the dirt patch. But after that he was off and Skuuting, we soon ended up back at the house, where his Mom had left his shoes and helmet out on the porch steps for him.
(This picture is from last year when Phelan first got his Skuut bike. He's bigger now, and the weather is warmer.)
Can't believe it's officially still winter.

Merry Christmas From The Center!
Merry Christmas! Imagine Rhode Island as a more attractive home and destination of choice for families. We could be a state that offers financial security now and opportunity for prosperity in the future. We could have a policy culture where individuals and business are successful in increasing the overall wealth of our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life for every Rhode Islander. While progressives value government-centric, taxpayer-funded dependency… our Center believes in the value of hard work, American values, and the free-enterprise system.
Are loved family and friends no longer sitting at your holiday dinner table because they have left Rhode Island for greener pastures? What if we were to realize that the status quo public policy approach, as well-intended as it may be, in reality, has had the unintended consequence of reducing the overall prosperity of our Rhode Island families? A new public policy approach is required to change the Ocean State in 2019. Rhode Island needs an approach that considers the whole person, not just their material needs. Together, we can make Rhode Island a better place to call home – to raise a family and to build a career.

Counsel him not to use force to conquer the universe.
For this would only cause resistance.
Thorn bushes spring up wherever the army has passed.
Lean years follow in the wake of a great war.
Just do what needs to be done.
Never take advantage of power.
Achieve results,
But never glory in them.
Achieve results,
But never boast.
Achieve results,
But never be proud.
Achieve results,
Because this is the natural way.
Achieve results,
But not through violence.
Force is followed by loss of strength.
This is not the way of Tao.
That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end.
Listen up:
If you want to be a leader
who's in touch with Tao,
never use violence
to achieve your goals.
Every act of violence backfires.
An army on the move
leaves a trail of tears,
and a military victory
always lies in ruins.
The Masters do what needs doing
and that's all they do.
Do what you have to do
without arrogance or pride.
Get the job done
and don't brag about it afterwards.
Do what you have to do,
not for your own benefit,
but because it needs to be done.
And don't do it the way
you think it should be done,
do it the way it needs to be done.
The mighty will always lose their power
and any connection
they ever had to Tao.
They will not last long;
if you're not right with Tao,
you might as well be dead.
The first version is from the Fortune files. The second version is the Beatrice Tao.

C'est La Vie
Release Date
We haven't seen much of Matthew Houck since 2013's Muchacho LP, an album which seemed to thrust him further into the mainstream (or at least the fringes of the mid-sized venue circuit). With C'est La Vie, Houck seems to be exploring deeper and deeper into the pop and country territory that has characterised his last couple of releases, but these are book-ended by two tracks which hark right back to his humble beginnings in "Black Moon / Silver Waves" and "Black Waves / Silver Moon". Even the names of the songs seem comfortingly familiar (see early favourites like "My Dove, My Lamb"). These two tracks may well be considered highlights by some listeners, especially the ones who were drawn in by Houck's early, completely solo, live performances, where he regularly experimented with loops and repetition to provide a full bodied sound. This way of performing was presumably a necessity at the time (I'd imagine it's pretty much impossible to make any money if you're an American solo artist playing above a tiny pub in Newcastle, never-mind a full band), but here it seems like Phosphorescent is doing it for the simple pleasure of it, whilst giving listeners a nod to those earlier performances and recordings. But the main bulk of this record focuses on the new Phosphorescent, which is less of a solo artist and more of a band (and a substantial one at that). So here we get lots of the alternative country style (slide guitar, heartfelt ballads etc) that Houck has been honing recently, but with extra doses of synth-heavy pop and sometimes cinematic electronica. The freewheelin' "New Birth in New England" is a good example of this approach, being both distinctively Phosphorescent, but also startling new. On other tracks like "C'est La Vie No. 2", the guitar which has defined Phosphorescent's career is hardly present at all, apart from an unrecognisable supporting role. This song is probably the most adventurously disparate track on the album, and the fact that it was released as a single perhaps suggests that it's an area that Houck is keen to explore further. Elsewhere, "Around The Horn" channels the greats of krautrock , however, the results aren't quite as spectacular, it's more of a plodding departure than an exhilarating drive on the autobahn. Lyrically, the album takes in all those years that Houck has been away, moving to Nashville and starting a family, so there's less mysterious nuance and more direct pronouncements of love (see "My Beautiful Boy" as a prime example). On the whole, C'est La Vie is an uneven but enjoyable record and the high points make it worth sticking around for. It's good to have him back.

What if your only belief is that we are all going through a journey of time – how we want it to be remembered is all that matter. That is what Muru believes in. Born in Kuala Kangsar, Perak in a family of 5 boys, he grew up without the luxuries of life – he had to cycle 20 kilometers to school, suffered a period of joblessness and sometimes not having the basics of life. But he persevered, reminding himself that he will achieve something one day.
His purpose in life is to leave a legacy. He wants to be remembered as the best husband, the best father, and for his professional contributions. Professionally, he wants to work with his team to make a difference, towards an ultimate goal – save a life, change a life and improve life of patients. His one basic approach is to build energy for a purpose.
"If you want to do it, do it big or don't do it". Muru believes that in whatever you do, you must be remembered for it and failing and discovering is part of the journey. Muru began his career in Western Digital and later moved on to Baxter and then to Abbott where he served in various roles. In 2005, he was appointed to lead the marketing for Virology franchise ex-US, and then in 2006 assumed the post of Director of Marketing, Renal Care. In 2007, he assumed the role of Commercial Director, Specialty Care Products for Australia, Africa, Asia and Central Eastern Europe Region. In 2009, Muru assumed the role of General Manager of Abbott International Malaysia and subsequently ascended to become the General Manager for Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Brunei in 2012. After the AbbVie-Abbott split in 2013 he assumed the role as Regional General Manager, AbbVie Asia South which covers India, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore and a collection of other countries like Brunei, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. In August 2016, he assumed his current position as Head Commercial – JAPAC, EEMEA, LA (Japan, Australia, Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Latin America). He also served on the Board of Directors for AbbVie Malaysia Sdn Bhd, AbbVie Thailand Pte Ltd, AbbVie Singapore Pte Ltd and AbbVie India Pte Ltd.
Muru was President of the Pharmaceutical Association of Malaysia (PhAMA) until he relocated to North Chicago for his new positon, and has been serving PhAMA as a Director since 2009. He co-chaired the PhAMA Policy Committee. He also served as a Director of the US ASEAN Business Council (USABC) and ASEAN Chairman. He was appointed to the Strategic Issue Forum (SIL) a think-tank group setup by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI). He also represented the industry on the Steering Committee for the Malaysian Government's Transformation Program for Healthcare.
AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company. The company's mission is to use its expertise, dedicated people and unique approach to innovation to develop and market advanced therapies that address some of the world's most complex and serious diseases. Together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmacyclics, AbbVie employs more than 28,000 people worldwide and markets medicines in more than 170 countries.
Muru and his team in Asia South pursue every day to change the world, setting new path to create remarkable impact on patients' lives. They count the number of lives they saved, changed and improved everyday- last year it was about 5.2 million! The team created many legacies of their own – sustained growth of number of patient lives changed for 5 years in a row, produced many new leaders and exported some, created local initiatives that became global references- they challenged not only the status quo but also created new reference internally and to competitors. The team has won many accolades internally and externally.
What makes Muru different from other team leaders, is his ability to create energy and inspire others. "Leadership is about creating energy in people, create the excitement in the purpose, connect them emotionally, instead of just a transaction, and make it as our very own." He always believes that if you create energy, you will unleash hidden skills, and innovation will spring, and entrepreneurship will be nurtured. As an entrepreneur, Muru always pursue to set a new record, a new mark and will never settle for just achieving something but achieving something different – from as simple as an invitation card to shaping healthcare in the nation. This sentiment goes for his team as well where everything his team does should be used a reference. His own recipe he preached and lives by is, PEOPLE + CUSTOMER = BUSINESS. If people have the lasting energy, that energy will translate to creating remarkable impact on customers' lives and business will happen.
Muru also likes to create catchy statements. These include "hope is for losers", "let's be different or we all will die in due time", "big thinking small ideas" and "bring the atomic energy to work every day or find a new place that you will love". Muru's passion is people. He often joked that if he was to be stranded in a deserted island, he would die within a week – he is an extrovert who thrives on people around him. People around him energizes him and keeps him going – like a catalyst team who propels each other – that's what he pursues to build till today.
Muru's mission is to leave a legacy by Thinking Big. He developed and built the vision with his team in 2009 and stayed till today. Big thinking encapsulates – thinking big, thinking different for it to be a reference. Muru's vision is to see people develop and spread energy which put smiles on others and build the organization that they can call their own and not just belong to. The most rewarding part of his leadership is to see people develop their potential which in turn inspires him in his work as he has to keep up with some of them.

------------------------------------------- BOOK REVIEW: UNDERSTANDING MUHAMMAD, A PSYCHOBIOGRAPHY http://www.faithfreedom.org/2009/06/04/book-review-understanding-muhammad-a-psychobiography/ By Sujit Das Title: Understanding Muhammad a Psychobiography (Paperback: 280 pages) Author: Dr. Ali Sina Date of publication: 1st May 2008, Second edition Publisher: Felibri.com While criticizing Islam, non-Muslims and ex-Muslims often tend to focus on the negative impacts of Islam; such as Islamic terrorism, fundamentalism, immense hate to non-Muslims etc, but in this book, the author, Dr. Ali Sina had gone far beyond. The central argument of this book is not about the dark side of Islam but the psychobiography of its founder, Prophet Muhammad. Undoubtedly, Muhammad was a great leader. He fought many offensive battles, tortured, looted and killed innocent people and raped their women, assassinated his critics, ordered mass murder, addicted to pedophilia and reduced thousands of others into slavery in the name of God. His conduct was ungodly. But he also successfully twisted the sense of morality of his followers, distorted their sense of 'Humanness' and linked "doing good" and "a service to God" to all ungodly things. Briefly, he had given a sacred aura to crime and terrorism. Today what Bin Laden and his ideological brothers are doing is nothing more than what their Prophet had done centuries ago. It is too silly to believe this man a messenger of God. Muslims often say, "We love death more than you love life". Presently nine out of ten ongoing conflicts worldwide involve Muslims. The author asserted [page 5] that Muslims are (as a group) 36 times more likely to resort to violence for conflict resolution than the rest of Humanity. Muslim's this type of behavior is not normal. Truly author affirmed, "To understand Muslims, one must understand their prophet". Unless we diagnose the cause of this problem like doctors and scientists, we cannot come to a solution. This book is divided into seven well-planned chapters through which the author has analyzed Muhammad very skillfully and, with strength of evidence and force of reason proved that Islam is a dangerous cult, a cancer to Human civilization and a false belief system undeserving of existence. For probing deep into the strange mindset and psychological make-up of Muhammad, author has used several authentic Islamic sources; like, Bukhari and Muslim Hadith (oral traditions) and of course the Qur'an itself, and compared his findings with the modern development on psychotic and physical health studies. The author concluded that Muhammad was suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and "…these two conditions of personality and brain explain the entire phenomenon known as Muhammad" [page 6].. If the personality of a person is too rigid to the point that he is unable to change it in reaction to changing circumstances, we call it a personality disorder. A personality disorder is the ultimate misidentification. The individual mistakes his habits for his identity. Narcissism is a personality disorder that, as author quoted from the 'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders', "revolve around a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and sense of entitlement." [Page 60] According to Dr. Sam Vaknin; a Narcissist is an actor enacting a melodrama, yet forced to remain behind the scenes. The scenes take the centre stage, instead. He is a denier of reality. He feeds off other people, who hurl back at him an image that he projects to them. This is their sole function in this world: to reflect, to admire, to applaud, to detest - in a word, to assure him that he exists. Otherwise, they have no right to tax his time, energy of emotions - so he feels. Narcissists are perceived to be sick, prone to illusions and delusions especially self delusions and, therefore, lacking in judgment [Vaknin; "Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited", pp. 9, 19, 23]. Dr. Vaknin also mentioned that Narcissists are PATHOLOGICAL LIARS. This means that either they are unaware of their lies or feel completely justified and at ease in lying to others. Later they are bound to believe their own lies. Their very essence is a huge, contrived lie: the false self, the high-flying fantasies and the idealized objects. [ibid, p. 24] Muhammad knew that a direct self-promotion would be seen as repulsive and hence would be rejected. So he invented his God, the Allah. In Islam, Allah took the centre stage and Muhammad remained 'only' a messenger of Allah. But at the same time Muhammad demanded absolute obedience by cunningly calling his followers to obey 'Allah and his messenger'. But since nobody could see or hear Allah, naturally all the obedience was to Muhammad. It was not God who needed Muhammad, but it was Muhammad who needed a God to serve him and certify him as a messenger. Throughout his prophetic carrier, Muhammad never brought anything good to others but only death and destruction. He encouraged human sacrifice to his cause, ie, martyrdom. The Paradise is assured for the martyrs. But only belief in Allah is not enough to gain entry in the Paradise unless Muslims believe in the prophethood of Muhammad. So the religion of Muhammad survived at the cost of the 'liberal human values' of his followers. Unfortunately today more than a billion people still put their trust in Muhammad. Muhammad hoped that the Jews of Yathrib will receive him as their Prophet. But the Jews paid little attention to his calling which made him angry and he sought revenge. The Narcissist Prophet forced the Qainqua and Nadir tribe into exile and mass assassinated some 800 to 900 male members of the Quraiza tribe and reduced their children and women to slavery. Muhammad, like other typical Narcissists could not feel the pain of others. He was a predator and just did not know what it meant to be Human. A Narcissist has no time or energy for anything except the next Narcissistic fix, no matter what the price and who is trampled upon. [ibid, p. 39] The narcissist Prophet lacked in judgment. The biggest mistake Muhammad made was to invent an 'ungodly' God. He was in such a delusion that he could not even differentiate between a God and a Demon. A Byzantine historian, Theophanes (752-817) recorded that Muhammad suffered from epilepsy, which started when he was just five years old. Author's findings from authentic Islamic sources confirm the opinion of the above historian. Amazingly, the Hadith collections have enough mention about Muhammad's epileptic fits. Today with the help of science, we can confirm that Muhammad suffered from Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and the epileptic seizures were caused from the medial or lateral temporal lobe. The patients of TLE often sense a 'presence', hear sounds, see divine lights even see 'Gods'. So when Muhammad claimed to have mystic experience, it was actually his diseased mind which was playing tricks to him. Hallucination is very common amongst people. The International Census of Waking Hallucinations recorded in 1984 that 10 to 25 percent of normal healthy people have experienced at least once in their lifetime a vivid hallucination [Carl Sagan; "The Demon Haunted World", page. 104] Now since the sacred aura of the Prophet is gone and the big lie of Islam is fully exposed; the author very logically concluded, "Islam is like a house of cards, sustained by lies … It rests on nothing but lies" [Pages, iv, 260]. We should not forget that narcissists are pathological liars. Today it is useless to be angry with a deluded person like Muhammad who died centuries ago. He not only suffered in his whole life, but founded such a dangerous cult which brought untold misery, death and destruction equally to Muslims and non-Muslims, for which history will never forgive him. It was Muhammad's fate. He was gravely disturbed both physically and mentally. In fact he was also suffering from Acromegaly and most probably from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar Disorder and even from Schizophrenia. Now, since the real face of Muhammad is exposed by strong evidence, and medical science has spoken out the truth, and because we cannot see any difference between Islam and other notorious cults; it is high time, our Muslim brothers should give way to logical thinking. The author lamented "Muslims are genuinely incapable of questioning Islam" [page 5]. Today Muslims must understand that there is better life beyond Islam and the infidels (particularly the Jews) are not really that bad so that they should be killed as the Qur'an said. Real God has nothing to do with Islam, Allah, Muhammad and Qur'an altogether. The author himself is coming from Muslim background and some of his relatives were even Ayatollahs. Author concluded, "Islam is an epidemic of mental illness bequeathed from one man to his followers" [Page 254]. The mental sickness of Muhammad implanted to his followers has cost hundreds of million lives, "The wounds caused by Muhammad and his benighted followers have been bleeding for 1400 years. They are still bleeding and will continue to bleed endlessly, until Islam is eradicated." [Page 255] The author wrote this book mainly for the Muslims and had two aims in mind - to help Muslims see the truth and leave Islam en masse and to unmask the real face of Islam and warn the world of its threat. The cover page is thoughtfully designed and it speaks in volume. It shows Muhammad's first spiritual experience with Gabriel, which was actually a hallucination. The title perfectly explains the subject matter. If I simply say that the book is well written, it is an underestimation. All I can see is an overflow of systematic research and a tremendous force of logic backed up by strong evidence. Throughout the pages, the author had left marks of his exceptional clarity of thought and strong analytical capability. But he had done it without any pretended scholarship. The book is written in a very simple but extremely meaningful English. Author is thoroughly sincere, insightful, honest, straightforward and practical in expressing his views and had spoken his heart out. I strongly recommend this book to the readers. This book has fascinated me and will fascinate the casual readers, critics and scholars alike. It needs great courage to write a book like this. In fact I am waiting eagerly for author's next project. The printing and binding quality of this paperback edition and the paper used are reasonably above standard in comparison to cost. The typography does not strain the eyes of the readers. The overall style of the book as a product is quite user-friendly. Sooner or later, this book is going to make history. Already the sale is impressive and the book is translated to other languages. For any logical-minded reader Islam will not be the same as before. I sincerely believe, one day the Muslims will care for this book more than they care for Qur'an. In the coming years, the book will liberate a large number of Muslims from the Islamic prison. This book is going to outlive Islam. ---------------------------------- And some comments: ------------------------------------ A learned Analysis of Mohammed Any learned analysis of Mohammed's mind is not going to change the mindset of the 'Ummah' ( a collective name for Muslim brotherhood). Islam cannot be defeated by logic, howsoever scientific or rational it may be. It is not possible to believe that Mohammed was suffering from any mental disease, as has been tried to prove, rather laboriously, in this article. There are certain points about Islam and Mohammed that must be considered for proper diagnosis of this world- wide problem. 1. Mohammed was not inflexible. He adapted himself to the changing situations. When, in Mecca, the people did not agree with him and his claims of prophet hood, he migrated to Medina, where he played liberal:"You follow your religion. Let me follow mine!" This sort of tolerance is resorted to by the Muslims in those countries where they are in a small minority, say less than 1%. When, of course, he managed to get a sizable gathering he started fighting his opponents, mainly the Jews of Medina. Please see 'How Jehad works",(given at the end) 2.. This flexibility of the Prophet was quoted by General Musharraf, just after 7/11, when President Bush vowed to destroy Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, in case Pakistan refused to help USA, in her fight against the Taliban. In his marvelous speech General Musharraf convinced the Pakistanis that, in order to survive, they had to follow prophet Mohammed and help the USA (at least to pose accordingly). 3. Mohammed totally agreed with both the "Old ", and the "New" Testaments, books sacred to the Jews and the Christians respectively. Showing his faith in all of them, he only maintained that he was the last of the prophets. He was clever enough to exploit the Bible. 4. Compromise on Kaaba: The local inhabitants of Mecca and surrounding villages had great faith in the Hindu God 'Shiva' and worshipped the sacred Shiva Linga at 'Kaaba' , which was a great Hindu shrine of the time. Mohammed, in order to avoid stiff resistance of the locals, cleverly retained the Linga for worship. It is known as "Sang-e-Aswad". It shows that Mohammed was a great strategist. 5. the earlier prophets, in the Abrahamic line, were not very different from Mohammed, in so far as cruelty and total destruction of the enemy is concerned. The Holy Bible is full of such episodes. 6. But Mohammed was different in being a great organizer. He organized the Arab society very scientifically and welded them into a great expanding nation. Islam was used as a tool for Arab imperialism, just as Christianity was used as a tool for European expansion, and Marxism as a tool for Russian and the Chinese expansionist purposes. 7. The Muslim society, known as the Ummah, is based upon strict rituals of the Namaz (five times daily) the Roza and the mandatory Jehad All this is fortified by an internal fear of capital punishment for any insult to Islam. Every Muslim has the sanction to kill any person inside the Ummah who dares to act differently from what is prescribed in the Quran or the Hadis, or tries to present Islam in a rational manner. Hence there are no rationalists in Islamic society. They are weeded out like cancer cells. Such murders are normal in Islam, but never reported. 7. Islam cannot be defeated by logic, howsoever scientific. 8. Islam understands only force. And that is the only solution. Jatindernathn Joshi How Jehad works ( Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat) 100% System of Life Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Jehadist strategy depends upon numbers Islamization begins when (i) there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges, and : (ii) when politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, (iii) some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works. 1. When the Muslims are under 2% As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in: United States -- Muslim 0.6% Australia -- Muslim 1.5% Canada -- Muslim 1.9% China -- Muslim 1.8% Italy -- Muslim 1.5% Norway -- Muslim 1.8% Muslims 2% to 5% At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.. This is happening in: Denmark -- Muslim 2% Germany -- Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7% Spain -- Muslim 4% Thailand -- Muslim 4.6% Muslims from 5% on From 5%on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in: France -- Muslim 8% Philippines -- Muslim 5% Sweden -- Muslim 5% Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8% At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world. 4. Muslims approach 10% When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (i) In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. (ii) Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in: Guyana -- Muslim 10% India -- Muslim 13.4% Israel -- Muslim 16% Kenya -- Muslim 10% Russia -- Muslim 15% 5. After reaching 20% After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in: Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8% 6. Muslims 40% At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in: Bosnia -- Muslim 40% Chad -- Muslim 53.1% Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7% 7. From 60% From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in: Albania -- Muslim 70% Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4% Qatar -- Muslim 77.5% Sudan -- Muslim 70% 8. Above 80% After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in: Bangladesh -- Muslim 83% Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza -- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1% Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92% Kashmir Valley (India) Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97% Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90% Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96% 9. Peace at 100% 000000000

Nearly everyone has experienced the sense of being nudged and prompted to take certain actions. These intuitive hints can spur us to do big things like change jobs, or smaller things like text a friend.
My guest today says that these are callings, and that if we don't answer them, they'll continue to rememerge and can haunt us til the day we die. His name is Gregg Levoy and he's the author of Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life. We begin our conversation discussing what exactly a calling is and why it's not necessarily the same thing as a vocation. Gregg then shares how callings come to people, why they're sometimes unpleasant and challenging, and what you can do to attune yourself to their signals. Gregg then shares different ways people go about figuring out their calling, including rites of passage, traveling, art, and community. We get into how you figure out if something you think is a calling is actually a calling or not, and the idea that while every calling demands a response, that response can be negotiated. We end our conversation discussing what happens when your calling ends in what looks like failure.

Alan Minskoff - The Idaho Traveler - Rediscovered Books Caldwell
In 1976, Alan Minskoff embarked on a tour of Idaho to explore the future of the state's small-towns and record what was special about them in the voices of residents and unique characters and in his own intuitive perceptions about rooting one's identity to place. Forty-plus years later, he returns to those towns to record in flashbacks and new impressions his love for the towns, the old buildings, the people, the food, and, especially, the best sources for pie. As a poet, journalist, teacher, and grandfather, he offers in The Idaho Traveler a colorful historical and culinary tour of Idaho, revisiting the miles of contemplative two-lane blacktop that tie one town to the next. From Paris to Oakley to Idaho City to Wallace, this book is a traveling companion to experience our wonderful state.
Join us as we rediscover Idaho together with Alan at Rediscovered Books - Caldwell.
Alan will be signing books afterwards.

It's safe to say that taking pictures with iPhone is always the first choice for a lot of people these days. But even though we've got the excellent iPhone camera, it doesn't mean we can take impressive photos with it, especially capturing photos in low light. It's one of the most challenging things to do with iPhone after all. Luckily, in this article you'll discover some simple and handy tips to get the best night photos from your iPhone 6s/6/5s.
1. Hold your iPhone as still as possible
The key to avoid blurry shots in low light is to hold the device as still as possible. Why? Because there's not enough light at night and the camera software need to set a much longer exposure time to produce a photo. So, if you make a slight movement of your hand during the period, you will end up with a blurry photo. To keep your iPhone steady you have the following options:
• Use two hands to minimize shake
• Use a tripod
• Support your iPhone against a tree or support your body again the wall
2. Use your iPhone's Night Mode
Night Mode is a built-in feature in most smartphones, and iPhone is no exception. Although some say that enabling the night mode could make photos worse, it won't hurt to give it a try. Sometimes it could produce better night shots and make things different with the Night Mode enabled.
3. Focus on the highlights
The best way to make your highlights stand out is to set the focus and exposure for them. Simply tap on the brightest parts of the viewfinder in the native camera app, and it will set the focus and exposure for that point.
4. Take multiple photos
Taking multiple photos at a time provides you with a chance to get the best shot. They might look like the same photos with no changes in terms of light or exposure, but you will find that your subject might move slightly in some photos but not in others. So it's a good idea to take several photos at once in low-light situations.
5. Process your photos to black and white
Processing your photos to black and white can create a mysterious feeling in your image. Besides, the black and white photography is perfect for emphasizing contrasting light levels. But only image with bright highlights and dark shadows in the scene will look great in black and white. So you need to choose your photos with high contrast.
6. Make strong composition
Composition is king when you don't have a lot of control over how your camera works in low-light situation. Strong composition can overcome exposure, soft focus, noise and other problems. Here are the composition tips for beginners:
• Simplicity or Minimalism: Simplifying your images can make much better shots.
• Point of View: Practicing different perspectives and viewpoints for a more unique photo.
• Depth of Field: Draw people's attention to a specific object or part of a photo.
• Patterns: The image with pattern can quickly draw people in.
Here are just a few of the techniques I found to be useful when capturing the night photography with iPhone. Remember, there aren't strictly the best rules or skills to take a photo and it's ok to break them. You can make good use of your own talent and creativity to take great iPhone photos at night.
