I like to serve these delicate biscuits with honey butter and wedges of just-picked oranges from my neighbors prolific orange tree. Use fresh blossoms if you're lucky enough to have access to a lavender bush, or look for dried blossoms at a natural foods or spice store. Rosemary may be substituted.
12 to 14 biscuits
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil one large or two average baking sheets.
Stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, orange zest, and lavender in a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough sour cream to form a sticky dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured board. Knead by gently folding the dough in half a dozen times or so until it no longer sticks to the board. Roll or press it into a 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 2-inch rounds. Place them on the prepared sheet, and bake them until lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
Freeze any unbaked biscuits on a tray or baking sheet and then transfer them to an airtight container. When ready to bake, place them on baking sheets, let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and bake as directed.
Do Ahead: Mix the dough, cut out the biscuits, and refrigerate them on the baking sheets, covered with a cotton dish towel.
In The Morning (About 15 To 20 Minutes): Preheat the oven and bake as directed.

Donald Trump has said he hopes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are "happy" even if he does not receive an invite to their wedding.
The US president also told how his late mother "loved the Queen and the UK".
In an interview with Piers Morgan, to be broadcast on Sunday night, Mr Trump revealed that he sometimes tweets from bed.
And he suggested the US could return to the Paris climate accord if a better deal was struck.
The issue of whether Mr Trump would be invited to the Royal wedding on May 19 has become controversial due to the prince's friendship with Barack and Michelle Obama.
And Ms Markle has been highly critical of Mr Trump, once suggesting she would leave the US for Canada if he was elected president.
When asked if he had received an invitation, Mr Trump said: "Not that I know of."
He declined to address whether he would like to go, instead saying: "I want them to be happy. I really want them to be happy. They look like a lovely couple."
When Mr Morgan reminded him that Ms Markle had called him a "divisive misogynist" the president replied: "Well, I still hope they're happy."
Mr Trump went on to say that his own mother had a "great sense of regal".
He added: "She had a love for the Queen. She had a love for the Royal Family. She really respected the Queen, and she loved the pomp and ceremony. The fact is, she loved the UK."
Mr Trump accepted an invitation made by Theresa May a year ago for a state visit to the UK but no date had yet been fixed.
Following their recent meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos officials said Mr Trump would go to the UK in the second half of this year, although it may be a lower key working trip rather than a full state occasion.
The president was asked if his late mother Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis, would have loved him to receive a state visit.
He said: "Well, she would go back every year to Scotland, she just thought it was incredible. She came over to the United States when she was 19, she met my father, they got married, they were married for many, many decades, and they had a great marriage.
"You know, she was a terrific woman, and she loved Scotland. And maybe that's one of the reasons that I feel the same way about it."
Mr Trump also appeared to criticse Mrs May's handling of the Brexit negotiations, saying he would have had a "different attitude" and "taken a tougher stand in getting out."
In extracts released to the Mail on Sunday, Mr Trump said the European Union was "not cracked up to what it's supposed to be" and claimed he was unsurprised by the result of the Brexit referendum because Britons "don't want people coming from all over the world into Britain".
Quizzed about his social media habits Mr Trump said that he sends his own messages on Twitter, although "I'll sometimes just dictate out something really quickly, and I'll give it to one of my people to put it on".
Mr Morgan asked: "Are you actually lying in bed with your phone, working out how to wind everybody up?"
Mr Trump replied: "Well, perhaps sometimes in bed, and perhaps sometimes at breakfast, or lunch, or whatever."
The president, who once described climate change as a hoax perpetrated by China, withdrew the US from the 2015 Paris climate accord in June, saying its demand to curb greenhouse gas emissions was damaging to the US economy.
Asked if he believed in climate change Mr Trump was equivocal.
He said: "There is a cooling, and there's a heating. I mean, look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming.
"That wasn't working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they're setting records, they're at a record level."
He added: "I believe in clean air. I believe in crystal-clear, beautiful…I believe in just having good cleanliness in all."
Mr Trump said there was "always a chance" he could return the US to the climate accord but it would "have to be a completely different deal because we had a horrible deal. As usual, they took advantage of the United States".
President Trump – The Piers Morgan Interview airs Sunday at 10pm on ITV.

Bedlam typically brings finality to Big 12 football. This year it could create more chaos.
Four of the previous six years, the Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State game has decided the league championship. By placing it earlier on the calendar, Bedlam remains an important, yet not all-encompassing showdown. This is the first time in 13 years the rivalry isn't a season-ender.
One of these teams will be tagged with two losses Saturday in Stillwater, but it's entirely possible a two-loss team will still make the revived Big 12 title game. Of course, the loser will be eliminated from the College Football Playoff race.
"The timing is different, but the stakes are still about as high as can be," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.
High stakes bring out the best in Baker Mayfield, the quarterback Gundy's team will face.
"I love it," Mayfield told reporters. "I love the big stage. I love a good atmosphere. I think it's a good opportunity to show the country what we're made of."
The former Lake Travis standout is 9-1 after the start of November. His only loss was to Clemson in the 2015 national semifinals, and he owns two wins over Oklahoma State and a Sugar Bowl victory over Auburn.
Mayfield has 17 touchdown passes and five interceptions in those 10 late-season games, eight of which were against ranked teams.
"He's not afraid of the challenge or the moment," Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said. "He's been able to improve throughout the season."
Mayfield and Cowboys gunslinger Mason Rudolph, both seniors, will duel one final time. Mayfield has held the upper hand, and so has Oklahoma, winning Bedlam the last two years, four of the last five and 12 of the past 14.
Rudolph, however, has some significant advantages this year. He is throwing to one of the best and deepest receiving corps in the nation, highlighted by the remarkable James Washington, who already has 1,005 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.
Rudolph is No. 1 in the NCAA with 2,866 yards passing. Mayfield is eighth with 2,628 yards, which is quite remarkable considering he's saddled with inexperienced wideouts.
Mayfield is second in national passing efficiency; Rudolph is fourth.
Unlike most years, Oklahoma State's rushing attack is nearly the equal of OU's. With Justice Hill and J.D. King, the Cowboys are running for a tad under 200 yards per game, third in the Big 12. The Sooners lead the conference at 216.5.
King broke out at West Virginia last Saturday, rolling for 142 yards and catching five passes, so the freshman from Fitzgerald, Ga., gives the Sooners something else to think about.
"It's pretty simple with him," Gundy said of King. "Every once in a while, we come across young men that are very mature, not only physically, but mentally — very stable. The big scene doesn't affect him that much. He's been that way since day one."
The Cowboys also have a slightly better defense, something they've only been able to claim twice in the last 10 years of Bedlam.
Yet this year, the winner isn't in the clear. There is a four-way tie for first in the Big 12, and the Bedlam winner could easily be ambushed next week when Oklahoma hosts TCU and Oklahoma State travels to Iowa State.
"You've still got to survive this one to make that next one so important," Riley said.
Because Bedlam matters.
Rnk (prv) Team;W-L (conf.);Next opponent;Comment
1. (3) Oklahoma;7-1 (4-1);at Oklahoma State (7-1), Sat.;Would you rather have nation's No. 1 total offense, No. 6 scoring unit and Baker Mayfield atop this list?
2. (1) TCU;7-1 (4-1);vs. Texas (4-4), Sat.;Or Big 12's No. 1 scoring defense, total defense, pass defense and red-zone D leading the way?
3. (2) Oklahoma State;7-1 (4-1);vs. Oklahoma (7-1), Sat.;Or NCAA's No. 3 scoring offense, No. 4 total offense and Mason Rudolph as your No. 1?
4. (5) Iowa State;6-2 (4-1);at West Virginia (5-3), Sat.;Or even Cyclones, who lead league in turnover margin and are No. 2 in scoring defense and total D?
5. (6) Texas;4-4 (3-2);at TCU (7-1), Sat.;Stout defense keeps Horns in every game, but they lack firepower to push them over the top.
6. (4) West Virginia;5-3 (3-2);vs. Iowa State (6-2), Sat.;Suddenly this becomes tough matchup for 'Eers, who desperately need win to stay relevant.
7. (7) Texas Tech;4-4 (1-4);vs. Kansas State (4-4), Sat.;Reeling Red Raiders better grab this one if they want to keep Kliff Kingsbury in 806 area code.
8. (8) Kansas State;4-4 (2-3);at Texas Tech (4-4), Sat.;Wildcats' flickering bowl hopes on the line because this is easiest game they have left.
9. (9) Baylor;0-8 (0-5);at Kansas (1-7), Sat.;For these two dregs, this is Super Bowl. Best shot for bumbling Bears to avoid 0-12.
10. (10) Kansas;1-7 (0-5);vs. Baylor (8-8), Sat.;How awful are Jayhawks? They are 8½-point home underdog to 0-8 team. Let that sink in.

For some time now, i've been a likey of this page VeryShortStories on facebook. many lines written there made me imagine a short story of dream of imagining one. I don't know why I picked this one out of so many to do so, but here's the image it created:
Duane drenched himself with cologne before his date with Sara, trying to cover the fact he'd become one of the undead over the weekend.Work has exhausted him, deadlines, worksheets, selling his house and trying to find a new appartment, dealing with long delayed payments, had made him cry several times. It was like everything was turning against him.
Why this? Why now?
He felt finished, out of life, energy and hope. His back was curling from the weight of his problems and he felt like he couldn't handle it anymore.
He looked at himself in the mirror, arranging his tie, he was grey. Hasn't eaten anything in days, stood only inside the house trying to figure things out. "one more day and I would have forgotten how outside looks like", he said, looking at a window. Turned again to the zombie in the mirror, looking at him repeatedly trying to tie a knot. A smirk on his face – "poor sucker, even a tie beats him", followed by a straight face. "that's me". "that's me" he said one more time not knowing if to cry or to get angry. "me" he said while the tie from his hands felt on the carpet. "Me".
How many times have we not felt like this, like a zombie stuck in a different body (life) than the one we have imagined? This story could go many ways from here, it's up to each of us to choose what turn will it take.

Coppin State University unveiled yesterday The State of Black Baltimore, a 329-page collection of essays exploring issues such as the city's foundering school system, drug abuse, Ebonics and alleged discrimination in the city Police Department.
The book is a collaboration between Coppin State and the Greater Urban League of Baltimore.
Written primarily by university professors and local experts, the book includes contributions from prominent black Baltimoreans such as civil rights activist and former Rep. Parren J. Mitchell.
Mitchell, 82, suffers from health problems and sat in a wheelchair during yesterday's ceremony.
Coppin State President Stanley F. Battle said he hopes the book shows the university's commitment to strengthening Baltimore's black communities while elevating the level of academic research being done at Coppin.

So we had another sub come over so she could do a solo busting, this time in her colorful socks. Allison is a tall stunning bratty model. And even though her foot starts to hurt from the constant ballbusting she is doing on a Friday night, she loves seeing men suffer so much that she keeps going. Throwing in the occasional hand slaps and punches to give her foot a rest.
* There are a few times where the footage gets a little blurry for a sec, but majority of the clip is fine *
18 Year old cutie Jocelyn has nice feet she wants you to worship in this POV foot teasing clip. She also likes to worship her own feet as you will see ...
Jocelyn caught her older sisters boyfriend going through her panty drawer and sniffing her panties. She has video evidence of it from cams she had set up in her room. Instead of telling her sister, she decides to teach him a lesson. She's been walking around unshowered in thick socks and old ugg boots for days. If he wants something to smell, then she will give him something to smell. And its not gonna be her panties. He wakes up bound to the bed, she puts tape over his mouth and makes him breathe in her smelly boots and socks and feet. She makes him lick the toes and smothers his nose with both of her feet. Between knowing she has video of him that she might show his girlfriend, and then being tied up, not much he can do but obey her demands.
Student Force Milks Her Teacher
18 year old Laney wants to get into a good school she just doesn't have the money to pay for it. And for some reason she believes her high school teacher Mr Boston gets paid a good enough salary to cover her expenses. Laney had always appeared very smart and innocent to Mr Boston, that is why he didn't question it much when she invited him over to discuss her college future. He's not sure what was in the coffee she handed him, but one second he is wide awake talking to her, and the next second he finds himself waking up naked and chained to a bed. Laney enters the room with tons of energy, takes off her shoes and starts teasing him, making him smell her feet. Then pulls up her dress revealing no undies, and sits on his face. Mr Boston is struggling in his restraints trying to break free and talk some sense into Laney. He can't figure out what is going on. Then she grabs some lube and his dick and starts jerking it aggressively, while she explains why he is there. According to her big plan, she is explaining how she is going to make him cum over and over until he agrees to pay her way through college. With a slight hint of blackmail. He's trying to talk her out of it but before he knows it he cums everywhere. But she just keeps on going even though Mr Boston Begs her to stop. She explains how she has no intention on stopping anytime soon...
* There is only one cum shot in this clip, (a good one) about 10 minutes in. Laney has a lot of energy, is very vocal and pretty good with her hands. Also she has a great little ass on her and cute feet. Also a mean side to her. *
June was feeling a little sadistic today and wanted to have some fun. June has his whole body wrapped in plastic, ball gag in his mouth, collar and leash around his neck, his dick and balls tightly stuffed through the ole of a box. and a rope tied around the base of his balls. She enjoys it as he screams and moans, while she torments his cock and balls, first stepping on them in heels then barefoot. Then she removes the box and tramples him and his cock & balls. Makes him lick her feet and sits on his face.
He is in the box for a little over the first half of this. You can tell he is in agony.

Joshee is pretty desperate to hook up with Emilia. She constantly messes with his mind. She makes him think that he will one day have a chance with her, so she gets away with tormenting him any way she wants. Emilia has never trampled someone before, but she has been really wanting to do it. And so she randomly tells Joshee to lay down on the bed face up. Joshee has never been trampled before, and really does not want to do it. He does not even know what to expect. But if it's going to give him closer to hooking up with her one day, he's going to do whatever makes her happy. She steps all over him, and is she finds it very entertaining. Party because it's fun, and partly because she finds a satisfaction in his discomfort and humiliating him. Joshee looks very unhappy as she steps over him any way she pleases.

Emilia likes to toy around with Joshee's emotions. She sent him a text suggesting she might hook up with him. But instead make him massage her feet. And then to his surprise she tells him to sniff them. Joshee looks at her like shes crazy. He sniffs them and makes a weird face. That is probably because she has been walking in 100 degree weather all day here in Philadelphia, and has not showered. Her feet even look smelly. Then she tells him to lick them. Now he is really confused. He has never licked a foot in his life. But he will do as she says, if it means she might hook up with him. Then she tells him to lick between the toes. Then suck each toe. Then lick all the way up and down the sole. And then sniff them again. Joshee does everything she asks. He doesn't look happy about it, but he does it. She sits back smoking a cigarette and just enjoys humiliating him. Smiling at how much control she has over him. And sees him as kind of pathetic. She pulls her foot away from him, and sits up and says he can leave now. Joshee looked pretty upset. He thought they were really gonna hook up.

Eden and Luna strap this guy down to the bed, and then find out that he is ridiculously ticklish. Eden has been tickle tortured before so she knows exactly what to do to step it up. She grabs lotion and a hairbrush and goes at this feet. That seems to be one of his real weak spots. But it appears he is just ticklish everywhere. The girls can't believe it. He is saying he can't take it anymore but the girls are getting too much of a kick out of it and keep going. Luna straddles him to keep him from moving around as Eden goes at his feet again. Luna even has to gag him because he is being so loud they think the neighbors are gonna hear. He is squirming and jerking all over the place towards the end. This is one ticklish dude, and the girls get a kick out of torturing him. Watch the 45 second preview to get an idea.

Emilia is new to Philly and Eden got her a Foot Stool/Foot Rest, as a house warming gift for her new apartment. This foot furniture is unique though, as it has a cock sticking out of it. They are trying to get a feel for the new furniture, testing it out. They end up squishing, smacking, crushing, kicking and stomping the cock. They seem to like the new furniture, as its also a way to be entertained. Only issue is the furniture cries and whimpers. Emilia still seems to like it. Eden doesn't like it so much and starts to stomp on it.
The reality though, is that there is a poor man all wrapped up, he can't move or escape, and has his cock poking out of a tight wooden hole. And everytime the girls step on it, it must be excruciating pain. The pain of having your dick stepped on and squished alone is probably not fun, but the pain of it being stepped on while its through a tight wooden hole we would imagine feels worse. There is no ball abuse at all in this clip, all cock torment. Something we don't typically see on this site. Click the preview to see if its for you.
Well the guy from Italy (Andrea Dipre) is unfortunately visiting his first American Hospital after this vicious beating. The girls returned home from an all day party. And decided to have an after party, with Andre's balls turning into their party entertainment. The girls were just dancing by themselves to music, then one girl kicked him, then it became a full on group ball attack. Jenna and Eden were giving him brutal kicks. Even Charlie's kicks were harder than usual. When he fell to the ground they kept going. Shoving their feet into his face, foot-gagging him or sitting on is face, while the others would squish his nuts, stomp on his nuts and kick away. They took turns standing on his nuts full weight. The girls stopped for a quick second because they thought they heard a pop, but just kept going. Eden landed a full weight stomp to his nuts that most humans could not recover from. About half way through the clip Eden's top comes off where you get to see her perfect breasts bouncing around for the rest of the time. The girls continue the slaughter of his nuts. There was one shot to his nuts, that he turned completely white, all the life left his face, and his whole body started trembling and he stopped moving. Andre kept saying the girls should stop because he was going to pass out. He started screaming too loud so Jenna put her hands over his mouth so the neighbors wouldn't hear his cries. Charlie gripped up his nuts tight while Eden slapped and punched them. His nuts were swollen, 3 times the size as usual, black and blue. The girls continue dancing to their music as a worn down Andrea crawls to the bathroom. He said he wanted to be a ballbusting slave for the girls, but this might be the end of Andrea Dipre.

Eleventh Annual Baylor Lecture Series in Mathematics
Speaker: Barry Simon
Professor Barry Simon is the (emeritus) IBM Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Caltech. He is a leading authority in spectral theory, functional analysis, and quantum mechanics. He has authored more than 400 publications on mathematics and physics. His work has focused on broad areas of mathematical physics and analysis covering quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Brownian motion, random matrix theory, nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, random and ergodic Schrödinger operators, orthogonal polynomials, and spectral theory.
He received his AB from Harvard in 1966 and his doctorate in physics from Princeton University in 1970 under the supervision of Arthur Strong Wightman. For the next decade, he held a position in mathematics and physics at Princeton University before joining the faculty at Cal Tech as the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Visiting Scholar in 1980. He joined the faculty permanently at Cal Tech in 1981 and became IBM Professor there in 1984.
Dr. Simon spoke at the International Congress of Mathematics in 1974 and has since given almost every prestigious lecture available in mathematics and physics. He was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2005, and was among the inaugural class of AMS Fellows in 2012. In 2015, Simon was awarded the International János Bolyai Prize of Mathematics by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 2012, he was given the Henri Poincaré Prize by the International Association of Mathematical Physics. The prize is awarded every three years in recognition of outstanding contributions in mathematical physics and accomplishments leading to novel developments in the field.
In 2016, Professor Simon was awarded the prestigious 2016 Leroy Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for his "tremendous impact on the education and research of a whole generation of mathematical scientists through his significant research achievements, highly influential books, and mentoring of graduate students and postdocs", according to the prize citation.
Further information on Professor Simon can be found on his Cal Tech website and on his Wikipedia page. For a poster advertising Professor Simon's public lectures, click here.
The titles, and abstracts, for his four lectures are:
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at 2:00 pm - SR 207
Abstract: In 1934, Loewner proved a remarkable and deep theorem about matrix monotone functions. Recently, the young Finnish mathematician, Otte Heinävarra settled a 10 year old conjecture and found a 2 page proof of a theorem in Loewner theory whose only prior proof was 35 pages. I will describe his proof and use that as an excuse to discuss matrix monotone and matrix convex functions including, if time allows, my own recent proof of Loewner's original theorem.
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at 3:00 pm and 4:30 pm - SR 344
Abstract: This is not a mathematics talk but it is a talk for and about mathematicians. Too often, we think of historical mathematicians as only names assigned to theorems. With vignettes and anecdotes, I'll convince you they were also human beings and that, as the Chinese say, "May you live in interesting times" really is a curse. Among the mathematicians with vignettes in Lecture #1 are Euler, Weierstrass, Fejer, Banach, Kolmogorov, Weyl, Cotlar, Fourier, Paley, Hausdorff, and Schur. The second lecture will focus on the lives of more mathematicians, including Gauss, Poincare, von Neumann, Loewner, Landau and Noether. Lecture 1 is independent of Lecture 2.
Thursday, April 19, 2018 at 2:00 pm - SR 207
Abstract: After defining the spectral theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC) and real line (OPRL), I'll describe Verblunsky's version of Szego's theorem as a sum rule for OPUC and the Killip-Simon sum rule for OPRL and their spectral consequences. Next I'll explain the original proof of Killip-Simon using representation theorems for meromorphic Herglotz functions. Finally I'll focus on recent work of Gambo, Nagel and Rouault who obtain the sum rules using large deviations for random matrices.

There are many banks that are touting that they are Shariah compliant. Shariah is a LAW. Shariah is a LEGAL system.
Are they then saying that another governments LAWS override the US laws
This is not passing my SMELL test.
In a time when our President is sending the US to the UN Human rights council, this is another SEDITIOUS and Treasonous ACT by him.
If the US was shariah compliant, what would that mean?
That means that the Constitution no longer exists. THAT IS WHAT OBAMA is trying to accomplish.
Sharia for Dummies:
By editor • on August 26, 2010
by Nonie Darwish, Big Peace, August 26, 2010
Imam Feisal Abdel Rauf claims that the US constitution is Sharia compliant. Now let us examine below a few laws of Sharia to see if Imam Rauf is truthful or a fraud:
1- Jihad defined as "to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion" is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.
2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.
3- A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.
4- A percentage of Zakat (alms) must go towards jihad.
5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.
6- A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.
7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph in one case, if he rejects Islam.
8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.
9- A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of : 1) an apostasy 2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Making vigilante street justice and honor killing acceptable.
10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim.
11- Sharia never abolished slavery and sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.
12- Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, flogging and other forms of cruel and unusual punishments even for crimes of sin such as adultery.
13- Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims and must comply to Sharia if they are to remain safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women, publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or openly celebrate their religious holidays or funerals. They are forbidden from building new churches or building them higher than mosques. They may not enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no longer protected if he commits adultery with a Muslim woman or if he leads a Muslim away from Islam.
14- It is a crime for a non-Muslim to sell weapons to someone who will use them against Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot curse a Muslim, say anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam, or expose the weak points of Muslims. However, the opposite is not true for Muslims.
15- A non-Muslim cannot inherit from a Muslim.
16- Banks must be Sharia compliant and interest is not allowed.
17- No testimony in court is acceptable from people of low-level jobs, such as street sweepers or a bathhouse attendant. Women in such low level jobs such as professional funeral mourners cannot keep custody of their children in case of divorce.
18- A non-Muslim cannot rule even over a non-Muslims minority.
19- Homosexuality is punishable by death.
20- There is no age limit for marriage of girls under Sharia. The marriage contract can take place anytime after birth and consummated at age 8 or 9.
21- Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband's obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.
22- Divorce is only in the hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: "I divorce you" and becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.
23- There is no community property between husband and wife and the husband's property does not automatically go to the wife after his death.
24- A woman inherits half what a man inherits.
25- A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and she has no right to divorce him even if he is polygamous.
26- The dowry is given in exchange for the woman's sexual organs.
27- A man is allowed to have sex with slave women and women captured in battle, and if the enslaved woman is married her marriage is annulled.
28- The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man.
29- A woman looses custody if she remarries.
30- To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.
31- A rapist may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim.
32- A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body which is considered "Awrah," a sexual organ. Some schools of Sharia allow the face and some don't.
33- A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife caught in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women since he "could be married to the woman he was caught with."
The above are clear cut laws in Islam decided by great Imams after years of examination and interpretation of the Quran, Hadith and Mohammed's life. Now let the learned Imam Rauf tell us what part of the above is compliant with the US constitution?

The Gut-Brain Relationship..Date: June 19, 2018 | Time: 11:44am | Posted By: Dr. Nicholas Knutson
Did you know there are more microbia in your gut than there are cells in your body? Your gut keeps a constant communication with your brain regarding both the quality and quantity of this bacteria. For example, if there is an overgrowth of one particular bacteria in your colon, the digestive tract senses this overgrowth and sends a message directly to your brain to interpret and diagnose this message. The brain determines the appropriate response and sends.... <view entire article>

As with any Martial Art, we also teach Self Defence, both from a syllabus perspective and for use in Real-Life situations.
Of course, as a sport, there is a competitive element and this can be a good way to compare how your skills and achievements have progressed against those of other students and schools. We do encourage this but realise that this may not suit every student. We will help to develop the student but will never force them into a competitive environment!
-6 years (Currently we do not have an available time slot for this age group but hope this will change shortly - please contact us for more information)
Weald TKD offer a variety of courses for children as young as 4 years old.
These courses teach life skills through fun activities and role playing games.
The children learn how to deal with Strangers, Bullies, Emergencies and Day-to-Day Dangers, Building their Self Awareness and Confidence at every stage.
At the end of each term we have a grading which gives the children the chance to show off what they have learnt and earn the next grade, badge and certificate. Additionally, each lesson they will receive a sticker to go on their attendance sheet, which shows how many lessons they have attended throughout thee year and how they performed per lesson. At the end of the Caledar Year, we hand out awards and attendance certificates for this age group.

The children's class for 7 years and above are ideal for kids requiring "Personal Life Skills" including Self Discipline, Confidence, Goal Setting and Respect.
Our classes are a great way for your child to release extra energy in a safe, fun and constructive way.

We are committed to ensuring a safe learning environment for all children/juniors under the age of 18 and vulnerable adults. To ensure this all Vision schools and instructors abide by the rules set out by the British Taekwondo Councils child and vulnerable adult safeguarding policy which can be found here:
Destruction Techniques
h appropriate technique comes great power and we channel this into pads, shields and eventualy boards and bricks as the student progresses.
The competition side of sparring takes several forms, non-contact, point scoring and pre-arranged sparring between a pair of students or more. This is where you really build your skills and experience, testing yourself against others.
Self Defence
You will learn techniques that, with practice, will help to give you confidence to be aware of your surroundings and deal with these scenarios.
These are the fundamentals of movement, breath control, power and continue throughout your training, learning new movements and their application.

Women's Self Defense and Tactical Edge Close Quarter Combatives
(I have just passed my Apprentice Instructor's Course and will be looking for a training partner to practice this system before the Full Instructor's Course in a few month's time)
Tactical Edge is the Combatives System founded by Mark Davies. Originally created as a Close Combat method for Special Forces soldiers, it has over the years developed into a full civilian Combatives System.
In Tactical Edge we use methods that have been specifically adapted from the methods used by edged weapons arts. For instance, we treat any striking attack as if there is a weapon involved, so we're never surprised by one; & we use a matrix of limb destructions to de-animate the limb, cause cross-extensive reflex action in the other limb, re-set the OODA loop by causing pain & injury on the first beat and if there is a weapon in the hand either cause an explosive disarm or weaken the limb to make a strip or 'returning blade'.
Tactical Edge is NOT just about learning 'Reality Based Self Defence' though. It is a fascinating exploration of some of the worlds most effective combative methods. It is about developing your physical & mental attributes & thus improving your life.
In our Tactical Edge classes the emphasis is on combatives training. Our physical conditioning is tailored specifically towards defensive combat. We're not practising a sport, so our students aren't training to fight 3 minute rounds.
Our practitioners need to be able to explode into aggressive action for a short period of time; but during that time they need to be able fight effectively under adrenal stress.
Thursdays: Kids (7-13yrs) 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Rain Man Did It !
I Yam What I Yam.
My autistic little brother crashed the computer again, he is a good boy most of the time.
I've been looking after him, ever since our mother died unexpectedly at 63. Help is on the way, my two handsome nephews are coming, and we should have it fixed by next week.
In religion we attempt to mask our doubts, and fears, and to put a false face on G-d to suit our liking. Because this applies to all religions, there is automatically an inherent danger of false teachings. We find ourselves forgetting, that all our words are merely man made symbols. The sin of all religions is religion, and the worship there of. Too frequently we become so attached to our ways of thinking and speaking that we forget that they are only creations of the human mind. We not only forget that our forms of worship are designed by man, but also that our ideas about the nature of the world spring from our very thoughts.

Introducing to you: Miss Aly!!!!
My name is Aly. This is my first Haiti trip! I am SO excited and SO blessed to be going! My heart has been overflowing ever since the prospect of the Haiti journey began last year. Fortunately, I am able to go this year. I have been involved with ministry for as long as I can remember, all the way from being a young child up to leadership and participating as a worship leader in college ministry in Colorado. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Human Services, Community Health, and Nutrition from the University of Northern Colorado in 2010. I have worked at Minnesota Teen Challenge and currently am finishing my RN nursing degree at Gustavus Adolphus College. I hope to move back to Colorado and pursue graduate education following this trip to Haiti. I have traveled to many countries (my father was a pilot). I enjoy biking, camping, and canoeing.The academic side of me loves writing and research. I'm an avid reader and photographer. I am excited to connect with my team and for us to grow closer on this trip! Hooray for serving Jesus!
This girl has some energy--you can just feel it! I look forward to getting to know Aly better on our trip too! She will bring great insight to our team with her education in nursing and her experiences in ministry!
Consider financially supporting Aly's mission trip to Haiti by clicking: Healing Haiti: Suport a Short Term Missionary. All donations are 100% tax-deductible!
Thanks, in-advance, for all the financial and spiritual support for our team members!!

OK, so I was really unsure of what to write about for my first Free-Form Friday. I mean, there are a lot of things that I feel passionate about, but I just wasn't really feeling it today for any of them. So as my thoughts meandered through the topics I've considered, I found one that has me really excited and anxious.
On December 17th, 2010, the new movie, TRON: Legacy will be released. I can honestly say that there have been a number of movies I've really been excited to see over the past several years, but none has quite gotten me as excited as this one. (If they ever do a sequel to Buckaroo Banzai, look out!)
The original TRON was released in 1982, although I don't think I saw it until several years later. The plot centers around Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges, who gets inserted into a computer system and has to fight his way out in both game scenarios and against the MCP (Master Control Program), an artificial intelligence program running on the mainframe. What made this movie so iconic to me was that it incorporated so many different themes that were really cool to my 1980's teenage self. Kevin Flynn was a computer programmer and a hacker. His goal in life was to write awesome computer games and found his own game company. He ends up running an arcade that has many of the games he designed but didn't get credit for. He is zapped into the computer and actually has to play the games for real rather than on an arcade console. Inside the system he has relative super powers because he is a "user" and not just a program.
So, yeah, programming, hacking, computer games, arcades, zapped into computers, super powers, everything that an 80's teenage guy like me loved. While my current self would have experienced a snap in my disbelief suspenders, the nostalgia of the experience when I was a kid makes it an enjoyable movie still. (Kinda like watching the 1980's version of Flash Gordon, which really creates its own category when it comes to so-crazy-bad-it-is-good cult movies.) Overall, though, I really enjoy TRON and I am looking forward to the new movie, a sequel that focuses on Flynn's son and his trip getting zapped into a computer. Maybe not at the top of the list for movies I really wanted someone to make, but definitely in my top five on that list.
As I thought over the movies I've seen, I realized how much I really liked movies with Jeff Bridges in them. Besides Kevin Flynn in TRON, he was Starman, Tucker, Michael Faraday in Arlington Road (one of the most awesome suspenseful ending twist movies I've ever seen), Dr. Mark Powell in K-PAX, and Obadiah Stane in Iron Man. I also have heard that he is very good as The Dude in The Big Lebowski, which is making it to my "to watch" list now that I realize how many movies he has been in that I like. Also in this movie is Bruce Boxleitner which, I know may not mean much to you guys, but he was in one of my mom's favorite shows, Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Then, of course, he was in one of the best sci-fi series of all time, Babylon 5.
So I'm really looking forward to the sequel to TRON. It comes out on December 17th, which is my birthday weekend. Yeah, having one of your top five movies-I-wish-they-would-make come out for your birthday is pretty cool. Here's hoping it lives up to my expectations.

For anyone who has been down the adoption road, you know that it is fraught with bumps and potholes. There are high highs and low lows beyond the wildest dreams of those on the journey.
And there are questions. Oh, the questions.
There are questions about birthmothers and their pregnancies. There are questions about adoption agencies and ethics. There are questions about attachment and bonding. There are questions about exorbitant fees and fundraising.
Not to mention the initial massive deposit in your adoption's emotional bank account which almost immediately begins draining until you feel nearly overdrawn.
But there is a lighter side.
There has to be. Otherwise we'd never make it through to the end. God's grace and a few humorous and clever adoption thoughts carry us as we navigate on our journeys. Today, I'm taking a break from the heavy stuff to share with you all a few of my favorites from the lighter side.

Hurricane Edouard is a dangerous hurricane but in the Atlantic and will stay that way. He is at least a Category 3...even a 4. Will be a menace to mariners.
Tropical storm Odile moving up The Baja Coast...the strongest ever to be recorded for this area. It has 65 mph winds but a very large storm and will bring more flooding to Arizona and New Mexico.
Satellite shows jet stream from Western Canada to Northeast...keeping them fair...dry and cool. Humid and wet for much of the Southern third of our nation.

I am usually so "focused" while photographing (no pun intended) that I don't allow myself the luxury of soaking up the atmosphere. But recently playing with Jarrod Haning from Columbia-Strings reminded me of the difference a masterful violinist can make. He didn't just bring music to the ceremony though, he brought masterful emotion. He was artfully creating the welcoming feeling in the air for the guests. This wasn't ordinary playing, this was captivating. But then again, that is to be expected, he is after all the principal violist for the South Carolina Philharmonic.
The reason I'm writing about this here is because that encounter had me reflecting on the music settings for the other weddings I have shot. When guests have spent time and money traveling, having them greeted by a CD can seems a bit cold. I'm not saying that strings are a perfect fit for every wedding, they most certainly aren't. The presence of a string quartet communicates a level of style and sophistication that can't be matched any other way. There is one general statement I can make about string quartets. The weddings I have seen that had the greatest emotional response from the guests, were the weddings that had string quartets. I have seen far more tears of joy in a "string" wedding than in a CD wedding. Actually, I rarely see tears of emotion in a CD wedding. It's not to say that the guests weren't present and sharing in the moment, but there is something about a skillfully played violin that elicits a deeper emotional response.
If you have any questions about wedding music in South Carolina, I would be remiss to send you to anyone else but Jarrod Haning at Columbia-Strings.

When your Dodge Ramcharger left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants versatility in their automobile. Dodge car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of reliable transport when driving their Ramcharger around town. Obviously, you bought your Ramcharger because you understood you would be getting great performance and American engineering both impeccably combined into one automobile. Anyone who drives a Dodge knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
In order to realize the simplest of luxuries, you have to be able to raise and lower your windows. If you have power windows, then the device on your vehicle that gives you control over this ability is your Dodge Ramcharger door window switch. Power door windows and switches that control them have been around since the early 1900s, and your Dodge Ramcharger is carrying on the tradition. The door window switch operates like a three-pole switch that keeps the circuit open until it is switched closed on one side or the other, and will eventually wear out.
When your Dodge requires a new replacement Door Window Switch, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Dodge Ramcharger part for your project or repair. Ordering new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Ramcharger parts on the internet.

Rocks, Rocks Everywhere!And no, this time, it isn't even my backyard! Well, it's rocks, rocks everywhere there too, but that's not what I am writing about today :-) Today, we went to the Quechee Gorge, a 165 foot chasm in Vermont. We had often driven over it, since the bridge is on our way to Woodstock. But this was the first time we actually got out of the car and hiked down to the bottom of the gorge.
I always had been wondering how safe the hike would be for little ones, but it turned out to be totally safe and ok. I went with a friend who had been there before, and she convinced me to try it :-) We hiked down, and at the bottom there are tons of rocks, and a small river. It's amazing how long kids can be occupied by rocks, water, frogs, and crayfish. I just sat around with my friend, nursed Sylvia, and enjoyed watching the kids play. Her 5yo had a great time running around with my kids, and a good time was had by all.
The kids selected a few tons of rocks to take home, but on the way back uphill they decided to ditch more and more of them. It really reminded me of the Hansel and Gretsel story :-) Only the rocks were bigger. Cees had a particularyl huge one, which he managed to carry for about 500 yards before totally giving up on it. Oh well, we still ended up with way too many rocks at home anyway. It always amazes me how the kids can think we really need more rocks ???? !!!!
During the trip home, they negotiated a complicated schedule of who could have a shower when, and what should happen to all the rocks. At home, they divided in groups, some of them hammering rocks, others cleaning rocks, some eating, and once in a while one or a few went to have a shower. They weren't even fighting, somehow any problems were all worked out in harmony. I was wondering whether aliens had abducted my kids and sent perfect kids instead ;-) I am sure they will be back to normal behavior tomorrow though...
We had lunch at Friendly's because Tara had gotten a new blue stripe at karate. It is pretty challenging to take Erik into a restaurant, it's like trying to have dinner with a bouncy ball bouncing all around you... I was hoping it would be a fast lunch, but somehow the Friendly's staff managed to drag it out so we spent TWO whole hours there. But the kids were very happy about the whole experience, so I guess I should not complain either :-)
Two people asked me whether I had any twins. Three people commented on what a nice birthday party this was. Four people wanted to know whether they really were all mine. Five people just sat and stared :-)
I would love to post pictures of the Quechee Gorge, but I forgot to bring my camera... I guess we'll have to go back there to get more rocks and take some pictures!

Betty Boop Region – Final Games of round 2
#1 Ariel
#8 Rogue
This was a beatdown. Like not even close. Ariel was resting her starters 2 minutes into the second half, gearing up for Megara or Erin Esurance.
#12 Megara
#4 Erin Esurance
Erin Esurance broke out the SEXY outfit after realizing Megara had a ton of momentum after her first round upset.
Sexy leather zip up with a pink hair – FFFFFFF SSSSSSSSS.
But people need to respect the fact that Megara is a DIME PIECE. Look at her turn Hercules into a little bitch with her flirting:
I mean seriously Megara can't be stopped. This matchup was like Kansas and UNC in the Final Four Last year. Megara came out FIRING and despite Erin E's comeback, this shit was done 15 minutes in.
#11 Wilma Flintstone
#Judy Jetson
Somewhere, Hanna and Barbera are rubbing one out over this matchup.
Prehistoric Housewife Vs. Futuristic Teeny Bopper – shit is EPIC.
Wilma rides off into the sunset on this one – It will be the last Smokeshow Tourney of her career. A solid SS Performance from a classy lady, but the younger sexier Judy takes the W. Go home to Fred with your head held up high, Wilma. ::Slow Clap honoring Wilma's Career::
#7 Cinderella
#2 Lara Croft
Well, Cindy, the clock struck Midnight. Your carriage just turned back into a pumpkin.
You had a shot when the Prince came looking for the girl who fit the glass slipper, until he saw Lara Croft and said "Fuck the girl who wears glass shoes I'm gonna bang this SS!"
Lara Croft rounds out the last of the Sweet 16.
The Sweet 16 is set for the FSN Cartoon Smokeshow Tournament.

25 Oct Viral Infection Headache
Posted at 16:52h in Headache Fact Sheets 0 CommentsAnyone who has suffered from Influenza has probably experienced the headache that accompanies this infection. Many viral infections can either directly or indirectly cause headache. The headache related to these viral infections appears to be related to the fever, the body's production of interferon, and other elements of the immune system combating the viral infection. Headache may also be associated with those viral infections that affect the upper respiratory tract, such as the common cold virus, the Rhinovirus. This particular infection may produce intense congestion in the nasal passages, which at times causes a blockage of the sinus drainage passages, and can also cause headaches. A severe headache may also result from viral infections that specifically attack the brain and its coverings, such as encephalitis and meningitis.

Lately, people have been sending me articles about other folks with UC. Usually the focus is on people who have had extreme, out-of-control cases which result in surgery and either a j-pouch or a colostomy bag. While this is interesting to me, since it will most likely be my future, I see less articles about people who are at the same stage I am, namely ulcerative colitis that's manageable with pills, pills, pills. I said as much to a fellow chronic-diseased (heh) and she sent me the following article from the NY Times.
Living with Ulcerative Colitis – Managing Chronic Illness – When the Body Decides to Stop Following the Rules.
It's short and sweet, and it's the first article I've read where the writer/subject is still able to manage their UC with medication (albeit TONS) and diet. This is one of those diseases where we don't hear much about the manageable cases, partly, I think because while taking a bazillion pills a day (and having regular checkups, and thinking about surgery, and stressing about stress) sucks, it's not as drastic a life change as surgery.
But it still stinks, and I want public acknowledgement of the fact. Also, adoration and chocolate would be great, too! Please send all donations (corporeal and non) to peppery in Central New York.

More Description
"Like many men and women who've worn a badge for a good part of their lives, Corcoran Liam O'Connor was cursed. Twice cursed, in reality. Cursed with memory and cursed with imagination."" "
Tamarack County, Minnesota, the gateway to the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Within its borders lie a million acres of deep forest, a thousand crystal clear lakes, and a few quiet towns. This is the place that, for most of his life, sheriff-turned-private investigator Cork O'Connor has called home.
As a blizzard swells just days before Christmas, the car belonging to the wife of a retired local judge is discovered abandoned on a rural road. After days without any leads, the search-and-rescue team, assisted by O'Connor, has little hope of finding her alive, if at all.
Early on, Cork notices small details about the woman's disappearance that tell a disturbing story. And when the beloved pet dog of a friend is found decapitated, he begins to detect a startling pattern of ominous incidents throughout the area. Then Cork's son is nearly killed, and he knows this is no trick of his imagination. Someone is spinning a deadly web in Tamarack County. At the center is a murder more than twenty years old for which an innocent man may have been convicted. Cork remembers the case only too well. He was the deputy in charge of the investigation that sent the man to prison.
As the threat of violence continues, so does life in the O'Connor household. Anne, Cork's younger daughter, comes home, having determined that she's going to leave her religious order. Teenaged Stephen is in love for the first time, and Cork is being courted as well, even as he struggles to redefine life without his wife, killed several years ago. What they all discover is that love, too, can be a curse. It can cause the greatest euphoria and the most profound despair. It can inspire forgiveness and understanding, passion and desire. It can provoke jealousy and rage. It can bring on betrayal and even murder.
With the darkest days of the year at hand, the storms of winter continue to isolate Tamarack County. Somewhere behind the blind of all the darkness and drifting snow, a vengeful force is at work, and Cork has only hours to stop it before his family and his friends will be forced to pay the ultimate price for the sins of others.
Full of riveting suspense, fascinating characters, and set in a gorgeous yet unforgiving landscape, Tamarack County is an outstanding addition to an award-winning series that mystery lovers can't get enough of.

Lemon Truffle Cake
I must confess to having an affinity for See's cream-filled chocolates. Among my favorite flavors is the lemon cream. It used to be the raspberry one, but I've begun to discern the jarring chemical taste of the artificial flavoring. So, back to the matter at hand: Lemon & chocolate – not a traditional or even intuitive combination, but one that has begun to fixate me. Could it be the combination of sour, bitter and sweet that has me so fascinated? I'm intrigued enough that I decided to make a cake that would combine the tart lemon flavors with the darker nuances of chocolate. I chose to pair a moist, almost moussey chocolate cake with lemon curd. My husband always doubts these adventures off the beaten culinary path, but once again, he had to eat his words.
A second confession: I have piles of clippings and print-outs from the internet with recipes I have never, ever gotten around to making. Believe it or not, I've been saving recipes from magazines since I was a child, barely allowed to navigate the kitchen. I remember working on a school project in fifth grade that required clipping pictures from magazines. In the process of completing my assignment, I clipped out a small fortune of recipes that I wanted to try – not surprisingly most of them were dessert recipes.
This chocolate cake recipe was from a Seattle Times butter commercial from 1996 that my mother saved for me. The cake is a recipe from the owner of Borracchini's Bakery and Mediterranean Market, in Seattle.
Remo Borracchini's Chocolate Fudge Cake
¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup cocoa
1 ½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 egg yolks
2 ¼ cups flour
3 Tsp baking powder
1 cup cold water
3 egg whites
Grease and flour two 9 x ½ round pans.
Sift flour and baking powder into a small bowl.
In a large bowl, beat cocoa into butter. Add sugar gradually. Beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and then egg yolks one at a time. Add flour and baking powder a little at a time. Add water and beat until smooth. [note: I had to add some water before I finished adding dry ingredients, because the consistency was unmanageable]
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into cake batter.
Bake at 300 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. Cool.
Lemon Curd
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp grated lemon peel
4-5 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cups granulated sugar
In a saucepan, add all ingredients and heat slowly over medium heat, while stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble – 5 to 10 minutes. [note: be very careful not to overheat the egg or else use a double boiler] Remove from heat and cool at least 2 hours or 1 day.
Assemble Lemon Truffle Cake
Cut one of your cakes flat on the top. Pour a portion of the lemon curd on top, making a thin layer. Place your second cake on top. With the remaining curd, you can either drizzle some on top or pool it below slices as you serve. Pooling the curd has the advantage of allowing the diner to control the amount of curd they eat with each forkful of cake.
To be safe I stored my cake in the refrigerator, along with the extra curd. I'm not sure if the curd is safe to sit at room temperature*, but in any case refrigeration (along with covering) seems to keep the cake exceptionally moist.
* Proof you can find just about anything on the internet – here's some information on shelf stability of lemon curd, which recommends refrigeration, by the way.

The bombs then called Blockbusters were the RAF's HC (high capacity) bombs. These bombs had especially thin casings that allowed them to contain approximately three-quarters of their weight in explosive, with a 4,000-pound bomb containing over 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) of Amatol. Most general-purpose bombs, termed medium capacity (MC) by the RAF, contained 50 percent explosive by weight, the rest being made up of the fragmentation casing. Larger Blockbusters were made later in the war, from the original 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) version, up to 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg).
The Mark I 4,000 lb bomb was a welded, cylindrical shell of 0.31-inch (7.9 mm) thick steel. The body of the bomb was 30 inches (76 cm) in diameter and 88 inches (2.24 m) long. The nose of the bomb was conical and a 27-inch (69 cm) long lightweight, empty cylindrical tail with a closed end was fitted, for a total overall length of 115 inches (2.92 m). A T-section steel beam was welded to the inner surface of the bomb to strengthen it. Subsequent Mark II and Mark III HC bombs differed in detail; the conical nose was replaced with a domed nose and the number of fuzes was increased from one to three to guarantee detonation. The Mark IV bomb did not have the T-section beam and the Mark V and Mark VI bombs were versions manufactured in the United States.
The larger 8,000 lb bomb was constructed from two 4,000 lb sections, of a larger 38 in (97 cm) diameter, that fitted together with bolts. A 12,000 lb version was created by adding a third 4,000 lb section.
The 4,000 lb high-capacity design was little more than a cylinder full of explosives: it was unaerodynamic and did not have fins. The same weight American 4,000 lb (1.81 tonne) AN-M56 general purpose bomb was aerodynamically designed as other US bombs were, with a sheet metal tailfin assembly and shaped nose and aft sections. When fitted with a nose spoiler and a drum tail the British "Blockbuster" bomb fell straight down. These bombs were designed for their blast effect, to cause damage to buildings, specifically to blow roof tiles off, so that the small 4 lb (1.8 kg) incendiary bombs could reach the building interiors. The high capacity bombs were used only by the RAF, the only air force with bombers with bomb bays large enough to hold them.
In 1947 Alfred Cecil Brooks of Stourbridge was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for creating the Blockbuster, although his citation was worded "outstanding services to the King of a nature that cannot be revealed". The local newspaper referred to him as "Blockbuster Brooks".

when life serves you lemons…
When Life Serves You Lemons…
More often than we may prefer Life serves a bag of lemons and forces us to be master lemonade makers; the subject of this week's blogtalkradio/ jnetsworld.
While some of us forge through Life in rooms full of rotting lemons, some of us will practice the alchemy of making gold out of Life's unexpected gems.
Darling, I know how to make a strawberry lemonade, an Arnold Palmer, a lemon twist, and a lemon drop martini and though I sometimes wish I can face someone off with a lemon pie, I've learned to sit out the heat and know the comfort of a good and honest glass of lemonade.
So what recipes have you learned in your own Lemonade University? Who were your professors? Your parents, your neighbors, your lovers, your enemies, your television programs???
And if you're still sucking on your seventh day, month, year or decade of lemons… Why has it become your preferred flavor? Luckily, many of us have figured out how to sugar up the sour times or see that a little bit of lemon has the power to excite an otherwise predictable and bland life.
Interestingly enough, as I reflect upon my earliest lemony moments, I would like to declare that it is all my mom's fault. Disagree away and be disagreeable she encouraged; it was our freedom of expression in the space of what appeared like chaos and discord.
I've flown the nest and didn't earn my lemonade stand degree until after college. Life had a few make-up courses. I had to learn to make peace when I'd rather put on my running shoes.
What is a girl to do except learn to get cooking. I am not a lemon farmer.. I'm a freakin creative lemonade maker.
This Life has not been roses, lollipops and sunshine 24/7. I wasn't borne into that Life. Has anyone? No matter what one's station in Life is, no one is immune to disappointment, regret, heartbreak or pain. Everyone has tasted lemons.
I saw a picture of a few kids minding their own lemonade stand this past week. What were they raising funds for? A new toy? Candy money? No… they were raising money to help out victims of a terrible disaster.
A lemonade stand for peace? A lemonade stand to bring comfort and support to others and make for a better world?
Why not?
What are you doing with YOUR lemons?
