In the Philippines' largest island known as Mindanao, Muslims and native people lived peacefully until the colonization by the Spanish from the mid 15th century to the 19th century. In this time, the Spanish favored the Christians in the area over the Muslims, creating resentment. After the Spanish-American war, the United States encouraged the Catholics from northern Philippines to the south, making the Muslims and native people a minority. This change led to further discrimination of non-Catholics, resulting in increased tensions and the formation of rebel groups. Among these rebel groups is Abu Sayyaf, the most radical Muslim group who seeks for an independent Islamic state in Mindanao; however, the group is seen as a threat and are trying to be gotten rid of.
Origins of the Conflict
The conflict had been developing during the entirety of Spanish colonization of Mindanao
When independence from Spain was gained in 1946, many Christian immigrants moved to Mindanao, and made Muslims the minority. This caused discrimination of the non-Christian people and triggered the conflict
The cause of current conflict is that the government services the Muslims had were less than that of the immigrant Christians, as well as fewer than they had when under control of the Spanish
Much of the terrorism in the Philippines started in 2000 and was caused by the Communist Insurgency and Islamic extremist in attempt to take over the current government.
Type of conflict & how it has been manifested
The conflict primarily consisted of open violence and discrimination against Muslims by the Philippine government. The conflict between the muslim natives and the christian immigrants has spread politically through discrimination.
Many Islamic terrorists threaten the government and have attacked the country through blatant violence 60+ times over the course of 1971- 2014
The Communist Insurgency have caused many openly violent attacks and have spread conflict through politics by trying to take over the current government of the Philippines.
Spatial extent of conflict
The conflict takes place mainly in the area of Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines.
Its actions and violence can affect the security of its neighboring Southeast Asian countries.
How long has there been conflict?
The problems in the area of Mindanao have been present since the Spanish-Moro war, which lasted 333 years, starting in the late 1500s and ending in the early 1900s. This was when Spain colonized Mindanao and tried to enforce Christianity upon the Moros (native for Muslims), but they refused.
When Mindanao was granted independence from Spain in 1946, Christians made Muslims the minority and greater tension evolved.
Religious conflict in the Philippines: muslims vs christians
Islamic Terrorists- composed of Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Moro National Liberation Front, Abu Sayyaf, Rajah Sulaiman Movement and Jemaah Islamiyah. The conflicts are "based on political issues conducted by rebel organizations against the Philippine government, its citizens and supporters." They have held over 50 attacks between the years 1971- 2014.
Muslim Separatist- Opposed conversion to Christianity by the Spanish and lost their land during the Philippines independence to much of the Christian population. They suffer from discrimination today.
Communist Insurgency- Made up of the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) and the NPA (New People's Army). Is constantly fighting to gain control of the Philippine Government, which is a presidential representative and a democratic republic. They are currently considered terrorist.
Christian Filipinos- When the Philippines gained independence in 1946, the Christian settlers became the majority in Mindanao. By 1983, 80% of the population of Mindanao was Christian. Because of this, the government became primarily Catholic and has had antagonism from many Muslim groups.
Who is Involved?
Conflict's affect on people
During the period of Spain's colonization of Mindanao, the Muslims became a minority to Christians
Muslims were discriminated against and given less rights than the Christians.
The Christian Filipino settlers are in constant fear of the Abu Sayyaf, as this radical Muslim group has abducted, bombed, and killed people of Christian faith.
at least 80 people killed in 2000 during conflict between the rebel Muslims and the government.
Conflict's presence at
different scales
Global Scale:
At a global scale, the conflict in Mindanao does not seem as major as other, more severe, religious conflicts in the world. There are not as many reports by news stations at an international level about the conflict between the Muslims and Catholics.
Regional Scale:
At a regional scale, the conflict in Mindanao- a southern region of the Philippines- is major and threatens people's lives daily. In several cases of terrorism, civilians of Christian faith have been abducted, bombed, and killed by the Abu Sayyaf, a group of radical Muslims.
Local Scale:
At a local scale, citizens of the Philippines do not worry too much if they are not in close proximity to the Abu Sayyaf. But if they are, locals continuously stress about when the next attack will happen and how severe it may be.
World Views
For the most part, the majority of the world views the religious conflict between Muslims and Catholics in the Philippines similarly.
Their common perspective on the conflict is that the Catholics are the victims and the Muslims of the Abu Sayyaf are the terrorists, wrongfully harassing the Catholics.
Differently, some Muslim countries view the conflict as the Catholics are the ones muffling the voice of the Muslims, taking away their religious freedom.
America's view is the same as the majority and expresses empathy for the Catholics and distaste for the treacherous actions of the Abu Sayyaf.
Though mainly, the world agrees that the terrorism is committed by the Muslims, and that the Catholics need to be aided in their defense against the Abu Sayyaf.

The original poem written in 2012 in English (below) is in the 'Go Vat' form from Cambodia. Written Italiano February 2106.
"Imparare l'italiano"
Una creatura tesa, volubile e poetica
il linguaggio da solo è il suo insegnante
mai per un'attimo in vista completa
porta i semi d'erba nel sua pelo; ogni amento
la stoffa della mia vita nuova, le sue caratteristiche
mai per un attimo in vista completa
le parole seguono il torrente, languinose come la pelliccia di pesca
smentiscono i metodi con cui per raggiungerla
non sono mai in vista completa
Learning Italian
A taut, flighty and poetic creature
the language alone is its own teacher
never for a moment in full view
it carries grass seeds in its coat; each bur
the makings of my new life, its features
never for a moment in full view
words follow the torrent, soft as peach fur
belie the methods by which to reach her
they're never in full view
The Go Vat form (from Cambodia) is a set of stanzas that follows the rhyme and repeat scheme a,a, B. I've followed the examples I've seen to make the two rhyming lines of each stanza 10 syllables each.

The players
Manuel Neuer
The save machine. The best keeper in the world. Bayern Munich star kept clean sheets against Juventus and Barcelona on the road to Wembley. Kept Borussia Dortmund at bay in the first half of the Champions League final, denying Robert Lewandowski twice, Marco Reus twice and Sven Bender. Amazing reflexes.
Philipp Lahm
Best left-back in the world, best right-back in the world. Probably now one of the best defensive midfielders. Inspirational as Bayern Munich won the Champions League and Germany swept to Brazil. Captain, defender, creator and scorer – five for Die Mannschaft in 104 games – Lahm is the type of versatile, two-footed, responsibility-taking footballer that English football needs to develop. Pep Guardiola raves about Lahm's "intelligence" as a footballer.
Franck Ribery
Le Joueur de Gloire. Treble-winner. Quick, skilful French wide-man who cuts in off the line and is always central to the action. Had big games against Juventus, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund as Bayern Munich won the Champions League. Beat Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to Uefa Best Player of 2012-2013. "He deserved to win,'' Messi said. Tormented Ukraine in Paris to help France to World Cup.
Lionel Messi
One of the game's all-time greats, below only Pele and Diego Maradona. Football fans are lucky to be living in the age of Messi. Passing, dribbling, scoring, Messi brings dreams to life with the ball. La Liga's top scorer as Barcelona reclaimed title from Real Madrid. Needs a big World Cup if he is to join Pele and Maradona on the pantheon.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Goal machine. Footballing artist in an athlete's body. Fifty-nine goals in 51 games for Real Madrid in 2013, and 10 in nine for Portugal, including four that beat Sweden in the World Cup play-offs. Aged 28, Ronaldo is at the peak of his powers: quick, strong, scores, dominates. This season alone he has 34 goals in 25 appearances. Quantity and quality.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Arrogant forward with a lot to be arrogant about. Peerless for PSG. Eight goals in the Champions League already this season. Few attackers possess such an armoury: the tall, technical Swede scores with back-heels, free-kicks, penalties, headers, placed shots, violently fast shots. As quotable as he is watchable: "I don't need the Ballon d'Or to know I'm the best" and "a World Cup without me is nothing to watch''.
Wayne Rooney
Goalscorer, goalmaker, team-player. Rooney is vital for England and Manchester United. Scored against Poland, Montenegro (both games) and San Marino plus in friendlies against Brazil at Wembley and the Maracana. Enjoying the post-Ferguson world at United. Comfortably their best player this season, whether up top, dropping off, closing down and also a force defending corners. Volley versus Hull City highlighted Rooney's technique.
Aaron Ramsey
The year Ramsey came of age as a footballer. The year he finally seemed to have recovered psychologically from the broken leg of 2010. Now taking charge of individual moves and games, believing in himself to play the killer pass, to risk a flick as well as score. Delivered in big tests, qualifying for Champions League group stage against Fenerbahce and then scoring away at Borussia Dortmund. Classy moment when Cardiff City fans applauded his goals against them.
Gareth Bale
So The Beatles could not replace Elvis Presley at the Lane after all. Spurs still all shook up, their new recruits not yet compensating for the loss of Bale's ability to turn a game with a speeding run, an unstoppable finish or some magic from a free-kick. After an injury-hit start, Bale shining at Real Madrid. No surprise. Sensible character, surrounded by good people, Bale loving the opportunity.
Luis Suarez
Working hard on the road to redemption. A morality tale for 2013. Suárez shamed his club and his profession by biting Branislav Ivanovic but has sought to make amends. Has he changed? Time will tell. But the Liverpool striker has been near faultless since returning from suspension, scoring 19 goals in 13 Premier League games, ignoring some illegal challenges.
Rachel Yankey
Record-breaker and role model. Drawing to the end of a formidable career, Arsenal Ladies' star is a legend of English women's football, having won six Premier League titles, two Women's Super Leagues, a record 129 caps and been appointed MBE. Yankey pours some of her huge energy into coaching and encouraging schoolchildren to eat healthily. Great ambassador for the game.
The managers
Jupp Heynckes
The Treble Meister. Even Franz Beckenbauer described Heynckes's 2012-13 team as the greatest Bayern Munich side ever, winning the German Cup, the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Heynckes made Bayern supremely fit and organised, playing fast, high-tempo football with both width and central power. He made Bayern a joy to watch and a nightmare to combat. He made "the star of the south" shine bright again.
Steven Pressley
Ten-point deduction? No home ground? Players sold? Chaotic club politics? Yes, yes, yes and yes as Meg Ryan would say. Pressley deals admirably with some crazy questions. Bright, hard-as-nails Scot has been a godsend to Coventry City since joining in March. Built platform for prolific Callum Wilson and Leon Clarke. Orchestrated a miracle to get Coventry into League One mid-table with arguably both hands tied behind his back.
Malky Mackay
Got unfashionable club promoted, got undermined by unfathomable owner. Highly respected young Scottish manager of integrity and ability who inspired Cardiff City, particularly at home as Manchester City discovered. Bought well with the likes of Gary Medel and Steven Caulker although Andreas Cornelius transfer concerned Vincent Tan. Cardiff will miss Mackay. He won't miss Tan.
Roberto Martinez
FA Cup-winner with Wigan Athletic and breath of fresh air at Everton. Friendly, budget-conscious Spaniard who believes in attacking and in giving young talents like Ross Barkley a chance. Organises and inspires. Fortunate to inherit strong defence from David Moyes as a wobbly back-line a trademark flaw with Martínez. Don't mention relegation with Wigan. Do mention scruples, charity initiatives.
Off the field
Anne Williams
Hillsborough campaigner who passed away from cancer in April. Williams lost her son, Kevin, on the Leppings Lane End and fought for justice for him and the other 95 Liverpool fans who perished. Williams never accepted the authorities' version of events – their lies – and was vindicated. Alan Hansen presented Williams's relatives with the Helen Rollason award during an emotional segment of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show.
Heather Rabbatts
New conscience and new ideas for the Football Association. Charismatic lawyer who has brought an incisive, questioning mind to the FA board. Already challenging the old guard among the governors. Brings great experience of running complicated institutions (Lambeth council), media organisations (BBC, C4) and football clubs (Millwall) to the FA. Rabbatts would make a good FA chairwoman one day.
Gary Neville
Best analyst on TV. Forthright and eloquent, Neville educates and entertains on Sky. Neville's work on Monday Night Football, and topical insight from his England coaching role, has taken punditry to a new level, forcing a rethink at the BBC's Match of the Day, and providing the benchmark for BT to aspire to. A player who divided viewers, Neville now unites them in admiration.
Alan Sefton
Guiding Arsenal's famed community work since 1986. Started with bowls club for locals under the Clock End, now changing lives through numeracy, literacy and health projects. Year after year, the modest Sefton is a reminder of Arsenal's caring qualities. All clubs have such respected driving forces for their community and foundation activity, including John Shiels at Manchester United, Denise Barrett-Baxendale at Everton and Kate Bradley at Newcastle. But Sefton is the quiet king of the community field.
Trevor Birch
The Red Adair of distressed football clubs. Ex-player, accountant and skilled administrator. It is said that Birch will never have to buy a drink in any pub in Portsmouth after helping rescuing the club from Balram Chainrai. He works with fans' groups. Birch sees cold business realities but also understands a club's emotional value.

Kathryn first fell in love with the physical aspect of yoga ~ she's been doing handstands in her kitchen for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she loved playing sports and pushed herself to excel in any athletic challenge. In her 20's, she began running and completed many races and a triathlon. As she began to have her children, she loved the mindfulness and the peace of yoga that balanced the busyness of daily life.
In 2010, she left her corporate job to pursue a life and career focused on health and wellness. She became certified as a health coach and launched her own business, Inspired Healthy Life, coaching clients and running nutrition & wellness programs. Through it all, she was drawn more and more to yoga and the strong, calm and balanced mind and body it gave her. While pregnant with her 3rd baby, she completed her 200hour certification, studying under Susie Masters and Ashley RoseMello.

When I was younger I filled up one of my favorite action figures with maggots, and then out of disgust, flushed it down the toilet. That bizarre incident is essentially what sparked "My Hero" into existence. Following my passion for story telling and love for comics, I decided to focus my efforts to write and illustrate a graphic novel.
I had one goal in mind when beginning this project: I wanted to create something I would love when I was younger. Using my action figure/toilet memory as a springboard I jumped headfirst into exploring what happened after he was flushed down the toilet. Ideas and characters I wanted to explore overwhelmed me. I wanted to not only tell an interesting story but also allow it to preach the underlying message of hope. Hope has had a big part in my life and I wanted to reflect that theme in my book. The worm particularly is the representation of that idea. I based the worm and toy after my sister and I. She's the biggest inspiration in my life and gives me hope every single day. We all need someone like her in our lives, and I wanted to emphasize that with the relationship between the toy and the worm.

How to Prevent Human Trafficking
Can we truly prevent our most vulnerable children from being trafficked?
The answer is a resounding yes!
Body of Christ, we must spread this message throughout our community. We hear almost daily in the news about children being rescued. We hear about sting operations. We even hear about how 'bad' Florida is when it comes to human trafficking. But not only can the trafficking of our children be prevented…I believe the body of Christ is the solution! (more…)

Join Us As a Hope Partner
There is something about a baby, a newborn baby, needing a foster home that deeply impacts me.
All abuse, regardless of age, is horrific and should make our stomachs churn. But sometimes, I wonder why a baby being cast aside or broken by those that should love them the most impacts me on the deepest level imaginable. Is it because I remember when my son and daughter were born? That I can clearly recall how small and vulnerable they were? Or is it because I think about our savior Jesus Christ's birth? How, from the beginning of His life, many hated and conspired to kill him even as a baby?

Pray with Us!
With 2015 quickly coming to a close, our entire team here at A Door Of Hope would like to thank you for your support and prayers this past year. What a year it has been! We've seen growth in every area of our ministry: our church partners, our licensed foster homes, our prayer partners, the children we're serving, and the much-needed staff to license and support more Christian foster homes! The momentum is tangible as we are literally pursuing the goal for every child in crisis throughout Tampa Bay to have a home.
So would you join us in prayer around a few specific numbers?

The Lord's Love
Last night I was sitting at a red light listening to the new Steven Curtis Chapman song 'Amen.' I was overwhelmed by our Lord's love as I prayed for a two-month-old little girl that had just been placed in one of our homes. I was in awe of how the Lord was using the 'A' family foster home as an example of the gospel… an example of His love. You see, this little girl came into their home physically and emotionally broken–by sin NOT of her own doing. Yet the 'A' family simply said "yes" and accepted her into their family. (more…)

Encounter with the Cross
Eight-year-old Sebastian entered the Cooper's home with bright eyes and a head full of lice. The last ten hours had been a whirlwind. All he knew was that he was in a stranger's house with a mom, a dad, and another young boy named George.
The first night consisted of an awkward dinner and figuring out where Sebastian was going to sleep. Luckily, their two dogs helped him feel more at home and he enjoyed their dog kisses. Later that night, Sebastian's curiosity led him to explore his new home. The cross and picture hanging above George's bed caught his eye. Sebastian turned to his foster mom and said, "I've seen that death symbol before, I know it's important."

I Am Loved
We know a wonderful 8th grade teacher who loves to talk about her experience as a foster mom. So after telling her new class about her role, she was delighted when one student shared that she'd been in foster care. Below, the teacher writes what came next:
"My student shared with me how her parents adopted her when she was 2 and that she'd been their foster child. Instantly I had a connection with this girl.
Soon we did an activity in class where the kids had to write one negative stereotype people have said that hurt them. This girl wrote, 'My family doesn't love me.' (more…)

Scary Movies. Vampires. Skunks. Smelly Dogs.
Abuse. Neglect. Abandonment.
When children are removed from their homes for reasons like these, child protective investigators must conduct an in-depth investigation. Why? Because we want to know as much about that child as possible in order to match them with the best foster home available. One of the many questions children are asked is what they dislike. That way, if a child is deathly terrified of dogs for instance, we'd be sure not to place them in a foster home that breeds dogs!
Recently, a young girl just under 10 years old was asked what she disliked. She simply answered, "Scary movies. Vampires. Skunks. Smelly dogs."
Oftentimes people assume foster children are different. But the truth is that at the end of the day, they're just like all other children…and they are just like OUR children. These are children who, by no fault of their own, have been taken away from their parents because of their parents' decisions.
6-8 children are removed from their homes throughout Tampa Bay every day. These are children with unique gifts, special talents, and simple fears like "scary movies, vampires, skunks, and smelly dogs." Our hope and prayer is that these children will be seen for who they truly are: just kids. And our desire is to place them in a Christian foster home where they will–many times for the first time–experience safety and unconditional Christ-like love.

Why we became A Door Of Hope
During the past year, we have seen amazing favor from the Lord.
Last July, 4KIDS of Tampa and 4KIDS of West Central Florida merged and became 4KIDS Tampa Bay. This merger allowed the ministry to license Christian foster homes throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco County, as one authentically Christian organization.
As a ministry, we were convicted to glorify God by pursuing the goal for every child in crisis to have a home. This conviction led us to evaluate our ministry, including our name and branding. After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to create an entirely new website and brand to more effectively share the mission and vision of our ministry here in Tampa Bay.
We continue to share a love for our brothers and sisters in Christ serving within 4KIDS of South Florida. Our partnership and being co-laborers in this area of ministry has not changed. Effective immediately, however, we are excited to announce that we have become A Door Of Hope!
John 10:9 says, "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved…" We believe that the message of Christ is the ultimate Door of Hope. And so, our desire is to share with children in foster care systems that there is hope. As we continue to recruit, train, license, and support Christian foster homes, we will make it our priority to give these children a door of hope.

I have seen children cry countless times
I have seen children cry countless times. Many times as a parent to our now 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, but also in my previous profession of being a Police Officer and Detective.
The night of July 9, 2015, was different though. She was weeping, not crying, not having a temper tantrum, but actual gut wrenching weeping.
Our foster daughters, who have been with us for just over a year now had just come back from a visit with their mom. The visit had taken place at their mom's apartment, the apartment that has a bedroom all set for them to go to if a court approves.
Our 4 year-old-foster daughter was confused. Before leaving the apartment she asked her mom if she could get her pajamas from "Dan and Teri's house" and come back to sleep in her bed.
If she has a bed, why not sleep in it? If she has a mom, why not live with her? If she can be there for two hours, why not stay the night? These were questions I know her little brain was struggling to answer as she laid in bed that night back in our home.
What was my response to her weeping? I knelt down, wrapped my arms around her and held her while she wept, tears filling my eyes.
While holding her I prayed. I prayed for Christ to heal her heart, prayed for her to KNOW she was loved by a perfect Father, a Father that would never leave her.
In John 10:9, Jesus tells us that He is the door and that if anyone enters by Him they will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
This truth is why we are A Door Of Hope. We humbly understand that the Lord is using His church and Christian foster homes to share the unconditional love of Christ with children in crisis.
Thank you for supporting the work of this ministry.

By Tanaya Singh:
A teenage girl was sexually harassed in Guwahati on 10th July. Not in a dark lane or an empty warehouse, not by one man or a man with his friend; she was molested, in full public view, in an alert hour of the evening, right on the main street, by a group of 20 men. Evidently, some men were provoked when the young high school girl responded to a detestable remark made on her. She tried to stand up for her self-respect ended up being subjected to harassment.
The heart does not stop beating and fingers don't stop shaking while one reads this news or watches the video tape. Yes, we have a video recording of the incident. That's us; human beings residing in complete harmony, we record a live molestation like we  record a marriage reception. HILARIOUS. I will come to the ironical part regarding the video in a short while. First, I shall talk to the multitude of people who stood right there, made round eyes, opened their mouths to reveal their shocks and looked at each other, or maybe even called some of their friends to give a firsthand narration of the once-in-a-lifetime scene they were witnessing.
SHAME ON THEM. These were the kind of people who will never be disgraceful, not even a tad bit, about what they have done. Because they have a million excuses. Who are we to call them wrong? They were just standing there. They didn't touch the girl. And moreover, how could they stop the mob of those 20 barbarians. Weren't they concerned about their lives? Sick! This shows we are sick and crazy bunch of living organisms. The onlookers of this crime are as much criminals as the other wild animals who were after the young girl.
To the women 'onlookers': You were scared for yourselves, so you stood there, a few meters from the spot where clothes of that girl were being snatched away. But let me tell you something. Because you didn't speak up or take any action when you saw this, you will have no right to ask for help tomorrow. Or even day after, when you come out of a bar after celebrating your friend's birthday and find yourself being groped by a group of men. You will have no right to shout with fear when you are unable to sleep because you can feel those hands everywhere on your body, each night of your life. You will have no right to shed a single tear when your daughter comes back home torn and devastated. Why, I ask you? Why didn't you move, tried to stop them, evoked others to help that helpless little girl, shouted, cried, shrieked to bring an end to this shameful act before it could proceed to such limit?
To the men 'onlookers': What were you all scared of? That those brutes will tear off your shirts as well? You stood there like emotionless clay marionettes. Would each one of you have done the same thing if she was your sister? This country is so full of such flagitious crimes, that every reader can easily predict your answer to this. You'll say, "My sister will never go to a bar or be on the streets alone in the night. She is a 'decent' girl." This is exactly what you will say, but you know deep inside that these are the words of somebody who is not a man anymore. You have been converted into a coward, incapacitated and blind creature. Will power, a desire to do the right thing, an urge to cry your heart out against injustice; this was all that was required to stop the deed committed against humanity. And those of you who did take a step forward, but only and only to join the mob and steal your chance of touching the girl, go home, look into the eyes of your wife/sister/daughter/mother and tell her that you are a mentally sick and emotionally retarded person. Wish you had the guts to do anything even close to human.
To Assam Police: Mr. DGP, we all know that the police force is not an ATM machine. We are not that foolish. But we also know that if you can't be present at the crime scene the moment one inserts a card, you can at least be there a few minutes after that. We didn't ask you to put on your best garments before saving the girl, what took you 30 minutes to be at the place of need? Someone's life was being ruined there; nobody was standing to take out cash from a machine. Please think before you speak and act before it's always, always very late.
Finally to the great heroes who made the video: Great job. You made a video tape which is now helping the police to get a hold on the molesters. 4 out of the 16 identified men arrested, after THREE long days. Four is certainly a huge number according to the police and they thank you. I won't ask you anything, I wasn't there, I didn't see what you did or tried to do. My question is directed to Mr. Atanu Bhuyan, the editor-in-chief of Newslife whose journalists recorded the event. Why are you giving hilarious statements to back your men? "The mob would have attacked them, prevented them from shooting, that would have only destroyed all evidence. The molesters would have been roaming scot free", you said. Don't you see the simple point here? If your men had tried to save the girl, or encouraged others to help them if they were failing to do so alone, the girl would not have been pulled, stripped, beaten and robbed of her respect. The molesters would not have got the encouragement that they can feel up a girl on the street, smile for the cameras, pose in front of them, make the girl forcefully look into the lenses, and then snug back into their hiding places. Come out of your business fenced, fantasy world; your reporters did no appreciative job.
The molesters? I can't write in direct speech for them. But I can tell my readers that we live in a world full of wild beasts. We are no more in a place where brave men come up to save the damsel in distress. We live in a dangerous world, a world that smiles at the sufferings of others, and then joins in the stimulus of the pain. I want each of the men who dared to touch a helpless soul to be hanged, or better still, be left in prisons to decay; each and every day of their lives should pass in the darkness that would have surrounded the girl's eye for those 30 minutes.
What do you want for them?
Sign this Women's Rights petition to seek action against the molesters of Assam.

The first round of the presidential election was held on 22 April 2007. Sarkozy came in first with percent of the votes, ahead of Ségolène Royal of the Socialists with percent. In the second round, Sarkozy came out on top to win the election with percent of the votes ahead of Ségolène Royal with percent. [56] In his speech immediately following the announcement of the election results, Sarkozy stressed the need for France's modernisation, but also called for national unity, mentioning that Royal was in his thoughts. In that speech, he claimed "The French have chosen to break with the ideas, habits and behaviour of the past. I will restore the value of work, authority, merit and respect for the nation."

|I live in Anaheim, Ca. and my zip is 92807. We are eager to plant Apricot and Nectarine and would like your thoughts on the ones that are best for our zone. We have heard conflicting statements....so please advise and also give me information regarding the proper water that these trees will need.
Thanks as alwasy.
|Because of your mild winter weather, you'll want to grow called low-chill varieties. these trees will produce fruit without a pronounced winter chill. Some apricot varieties to look for include Goldkist, Early Gold, Newcastle. Nectarines to plant include Gold Mine, Panamint, Silver Lode, Snow Queen and Sunred. As with all fruit trees, plant them in full sunshine and water deeply once each week. This is especially important when fruit is forming. Best wishes with your new fruit trees!

Skip to comments.'And Now....Europe's Kristallnacht'
Posted on 07/28/2014 7:18:29 AM PDT by Shery
That's the title of an article at the Gatestone Institute by Douglas Murray. It paints a disturbing picture of the rise of anti-Semitism on the Continent and in Great Britain, begging the question of whether these sporadic outbursts of violence directed against Jews might explode into something truly nasty and barbaric - a pogrom.
After describing several incidents that occurred at London protests - including one young Muslim holding up a sign that said "Hitler was right" - Murray takes us on a tour of protests across Europe:
All of this is mild compared to what has been going on across the English Channel in France. In suburbs and parts of central Paris the violence being perpetrated against the Jewish community culminated in the disturbing spectacle of Parisian Jews barricaded in a synagogue by a crowd of young North Africans seemingly intent on violence. When the police failed to turn up in any numbers, the Jews fought for themselves. These were not all "Jewish vigilantes" as some of the press disturbingly reported -- Jews in their 40s and 50s fighting their way through a mob.
Since then, the French authorities have banned -- as French authorities have the right to do -- some other planned...."pro-Palestinian" protests. But the bans seem not to have worked. "Youths," as the media are prone to title the rioters, who mainly come from the suburbs of Paris and other cities, have taken to the streets, anyhow. There are videos of them smashing up pavements in order to get chunks of asphalt to hurl at police. A Paris suburb with a large Jewish -- not Israeli, just Jewish -- population has been a particular focus of protestors. In some video footage, protestors...

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
a crowd of young North Africans seemingly intent on violence
North "Africans" are muslimes. Arm the Jews and give them free reign to protect themselves and their property.
Europe has replaced jews with muslims.
They Europeans deserve everything that is coming...
"....begging the question of whether these sporadic outbursts of violence directed against Jews...."
Did anyone ever do a survey of who in the anti-Semitic crowd is mostly represented?
You can bet it is the "European" muzzie.
The European whites are too docile and too lazy to do anything — that's why they have had this mass migration of muzzies since the 1960's when the "Wirtschaftwunder" started.
It could happen. Shamefully, it happened in Brooklyn under the Dinkins administration (not that he had anything to do with it - simply dithered in the Dinkins way). I remember it as if it was yesterday. The pogram that killed Yankel Rosenbaum.
Graphic video
It's mussies and their sympathizers that are doing all that Jew hating rioting.
can't disagree with the observations. It always sets off my sensors when anti-Semitic violence occurs and no one appears to be outraged. I know there will come a time when the whole world will stand against Israel......we seem to be very close to that moment
Jews need to start killing Muslims who assault them. Only by standing up and making their enemies FEAR them, will this change. Bullies feed on cowardice and the victim mentality that Jewish leaders all too often cultivate in their followers. I asked my Jewish Aunt one time if she wanted to come to the firing range to shoot my Mossberg or Glock and she was appalled. "Guns??? It's not in our culture" (cul-cha, in her Brooklyn accent). I was MORE appalled. Not in Jewish culture. Had she never heard of Joshua, the Maccabees, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising? If every Jew the Nazis came to put in boxcars had stabbed, shot, hammered, or hit with a brick those Nazis, Hitler would have had to assign far more men to the task and morale would have been shattered, reducing the number of Holocaust deaths by perhaps millions. Instead they just walked into the cars, walked into the showers. This is the major problem with Jews. They need to pay less attention to the ADL and more attention to Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).
Remember America, it only works if you allow yourself to be disarmed......
We were making a last trip to Belgium before we moved back to the US from Germany. We were using our GPS, but there was construction on the highway going through Antwerp, and the GPS directed us right through a very violent Muslim community. We were really shocked by that, but God was graciously with us and we made it through. It was a hair-raising experience, though!
I lived in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant area for 6 years, 4 years during nursing school and 2 later, working at the same hospital I trained at. One got used to the daily street turf fighting and gunfire, stabbings, etc. You learned quickly how to "live" there. But, as a nurse, there was some respect for medical personnel, so you were probably safer than the ordinary citizen walking its streets. In Antwerp, BE, we felt really frightened and did not speak French, had anything occurred!

Pat and Frank Chiappetta take their olive oil very seriously. And they should; it has their family name right on the bottle. The Connecticut-raised brothers have turned a European family legacy into an American dream story of sorts, and found a way to bottle it. But it all happened rather by accident.
A couple of years ago, my dad wanted to head back to Italy for his 80th birthdayto Calabria, where our family is from, Pat explains. My brother and I thought, well heck, of course wed like to go. We speak the language, and going back to the familys farm together with our father would feel pretty special.
So the brothers, now both fathers in their own right, took the trip with the senior Chiappetta to the farm on the outskirts of San Vincenzo La Costa, land that has been in the family for
Its a beautiful place, he says, flipping through sunny, summery images of rolling olive groves and dusty farm roads. And on the last day of the trip, we were walking around the grounds and this huge truck pulls up. I asked my cousin (who heads the farm) what was in the truck.
As it turned out, the truck contained gallons and gallons of olive oil. The Chiappetta farm, it seemed, was nearly swimming in it.
My brother and I kind of looked at each other and said, This might just be our Plan B, laughs Pat. And just like that, Pat and Frank founded their eponymous olive oil label, Chiappetta Olive Oil .
It was a lot of work, actually, explains Pat. And we had to get up to speed on all kinds of things, including international imports. And, he admits, the finer points of olive oil.
But the fraternal team was a quick study. Olive oil is a lot like wine, says Pat. And like good vintners, the Chiappettas take great care in the production process. We use only carolea olives, and a cold water press process. It's all organically grown. The extra virgin olive oil the Chiappettas produce is only pressed twice a year, which means every batch is practically a limited edition.
In fact the brothers had their olive oil analyzed by the Agbiolab , a California-based company specializing in olive oil analysis. The lab found Chiappetta Olive Oil "compares very well with the premium oils from California." Good news for the Chiappettas.
Lately, local and regional foodies are catching on to the Chiappetta Olive Oil craze. You can find bottles in specialty food store throughout New York and Connecticut, including DeCicco market in Pelham. (Click here for a full list of retailers.) And on weekends, you can find the brothers hosting tastings at area markets.
Its really a fine finishing oil, says Pat. Which means you dont want to cook with it, you want to finish with it, he laughs. You put it in your salads or drizzle it over your fish after youve cooked it. In fact, if you want a real treat, he smiles, just go home and toss this into your plain pasta. Youll taste exactly what Im talking about.

Norland knew one of its biggest challenges in the GMAC boys' basketball tournament would come literally in the form of much-improved Miami Beach and 7-1 freshman center Zach Brown.
It didn't take long for the two-time defending state champions to overcome their tall obstacle, however.
After trailing briefly in the opening minutes, the Vikings used a 22-2 surge to take the lead for good and cruise past Miami Beach for an 84-62 victory in a GMAC quarterfinal at Miami Central.
Norland (18-5) advances to play Coral Gables on Tuesday in the semifinal round at Miami High at 6 p.m. The Cavaliers beat Central in the other quarterfinal Monday night 69-57.
"We turned them over a little bit after that early run, and it was key to get [Brown] into foul trouble," Norland coach Lawton Williams said. "The faces on our team may change, but what we do doesn't, which is fundamentally sound basketball."
Four Norland players scored in double figures, led by Dewan Huell's 18 points and 12 rebounds. Zachary Johnson finished with 17 points and four steals. Ryan Mike hit four three-pointers to finish with 12 points.
Tyrell Williams dominated on the glass with 15 rebounds as Norland got Brown into foul trouble, forcing him to miss most of the third quarter as the Vikings led by as many as 25.
Brown, who transferred to Miami Beach from Archbishop Curley before the season, has helped the Hi-Tides' turnaround from a five-win season. Brown finished with 16 points Monday, but had his hands full with Norland's interior defense.
Huell and Williams each had three blocks.

Looks like Arkansas is doing all right without with Charlie Partridge on its staff.
Despite getting a decommitment in the last week from Plantation tight end Ravian Pierce — who was close with Partridge, FAU's new coach — the Razorbacks received oral commitments from three South Florida players in two days.
Dillard safety Randy Ramsey announced his pledge to Arkansas on Sunday, with Miami Norland wide receiver Kendrick Edwards and Miami Gulliver Prep receiver Cornelius Floyd following suit on Monday.
Ramsey and Edwards are fresh off of their official visits to the school this past weekend, while Floyd took his official visit on Jan. 17.
All three prospects — rated three stars by 247 Sports — were heavily recruited by former Miami Hurricanes coach and current Arkansas assistant/linebackers coach Randy Shannon.

A New Leaf
As you can see I have PILES of paint!! This is somewhat not surprising as I do own/operate my own mural painting business. But even still a lot of this paint has just been accumulating and is too old to be good quality (I prefer not to use paint that's more than a year old unless it's been stored really well).
And besides the reason of the paint being past its prime, there's an even better reason to get rid of it. A few months ago I made the switch to zero VOC materials...both for my work and for our home. I've spent too many years breathing in nasty fumes laden with benzene, formaldehyde, heavy metals, and who knows what else. It's not worth it to me to endanger my health with the products I use. Not to mention my mural clients and often the children and babies who's rooms I paint. Normal paints off-gas for several months or longer and create bad indoor air quality (we won't even talk about carpeting, wood products, or household products...). So for our home I've been using zero VOC Yolo brand paint for all the walls, and good quality low VOC Fine Paints of Europe brand paint for small areas such as trim and our kitchen cabinets. We also use a zero VOC primer by American Pride. It's really fabulous to paint a space and not smell a thing...or feel like you need to exit the room in order to breathe!
The other lovely thing I have to mention is the present Jared brought home for me yesterday - what a sweetie :o) He was telling someone at work how difficult it's been finding a proper fitting respirator for me. All the ones at the hardware stores are huge on my face. Well what do you think they did?? They gave him one to take home for me to try - and it's fits me perfectly!! And can you believe the terrific colors it has? I'm loving the royal blue, magenta, and gray combo. Gotta appreciate a great color scheme :o) Thank you SO very much!! I really appreciate it.
I'm off to finish processing the paint into more manageable sizes. Tomorrow we'll take it to the toxic waste recycling drop off. It feels really good to be moving on from it all.

Ps: Here's a sneak peek at how my studio floor turned out...I LOVE it! Can't wait to move back in...

missing the sunshine...but the heater will do
It's been SO cold today...not an especially low temp (maybe 52 degrees?) but overcast, foggy, drizzly. The kind of day that you want to watch from your window, in a toasty house, with a cup of hot tea.
For some reason we didn't even think about the weather as we started our floor project a week and a half ago. Why we didn't realize we would be needing heat for the house but preferably without mineral spirit fumes circulating throughout I have no clue. Yesterday was the breaking point for me. We slept out in my studio (with Phylo...Sanguine stayed in the house because we didn't want to schlep her litter box, etc. - I think she was peeved though) so we could have a little heat, then in the morning came back in the house. It was COLD! Jared went off to his toasty little corporate office and I sat at my computer with a little space heater on the desk. Because we thought we'd be done with this project in a week (sigh...more denial) I didn't pull out enough stuff to work on and it's been buried under half the contents of our house. I'm sadly missing my sewing machine, fabrics, and painting supplies - I wish I could be a little mouse and crawl in to find them.
After half a day I tried to let the supposedly warmer air in the house...but alas it was only 54 degrees out so even with that we just kept shivering. I eventually just had enough with trying to work in the icebox and went out to warmer places...target, marshalls, the post office, trader joe's...yep, went to them all! I really didn't want to come home. But eventually I had to and when I got here it was, of course, still freezing and that's when I spiraled into a meltdown. I tearfully told Jared everything that was bothering me...the eternal chill in the house and my work space, needing to get back to work NOW, the total mess of the house, even the shopping cart someone had abandoned outside our house that hadn't been picked up yet. Jared turned into 'fairy godmother/miracle worker' and disappeared into the basement. I heard a bunch of clanging around and eventually I heard the heat come ON!! I was panicked the house was going to fill with fumes from the masked off space (everything is connected with the HVAC system) but it turned out that Jared had moved the air intake from our hallway (in the fume zone) into the basement (don't ask me how) and now the system was able to pull clean air from the basement and push it into the house. Huge SIGH of relief!! We were able to sleep in the house and our animals were as happy as we were. Thank you Jared!
So today has been so much better! The only time I had to brave the chill was out on my walk with Phylo where I was thinking it's silly to try and be cute in a skirt and knee socks in the middle of January :o)
In other less dramatic happenings...of which I hope to post more of soon!...Tilly the lapdog plush is all sewn up and snug as a bug in my shop. Please check her out if you like.
AND...I took advantage of the Marimekko sale at Repro Depot fabrics and picked up this lovely fabric. It will be so swell as a set of pillows when our living room is tidied up someday.
Warmest wishes to you!

Ps- The shopping cart is gone today too :o)

wrecking bars & loads of dust
We're at it again...digging into our pile of house projects crying for attention. I think last year at this time we were just starting to plan our total kitchen rebuild. & I think we were sprucing up our office spaces just a wee bit. Not all the way because the floors were pretty awful and would need fixing at some point. Our house was built in 1918 and is a really cool Craftsman style. Somehow over the years barely anything was removed and 'modernized' which makes for a place with lots of character.
Right before moving in (Oct. '05) we refinished the floors in half the house. Some people warned us not to do it ourselves but we're gutsy and stubborn & trust our own judgement so we went ahead with it. The floors came out fantastic & we were thrilled. But, there was no time or energy to do the rest of the house...till a few days ago!! We used the last few days of vacation to jump in and take care of the remaining original hardwood floors. So far we've stripped two tile floors, an old linoleum floor, and the backings from the linoleum floor and some tar paper that was hidden under the hall tile - probably from some really old linoleum that used to be there. Then we rented power sanders and began to refinish the floors. We're at the stage where we're just about ready to apply our finish. Just a little hand sanding needed to clean things up in trouble areas. The finish we're using is really cool and worth mentioning. It's called Osmo Polyx Oil and is also called a 'hardwax oil'. It's a product from Germany, is fairly natural & environmentally friendly and good for those concerned with indoor air quality and limiting harmful VOC's in their homes. The main ingredients are sunflower, soybean, and thistle oil, plus two types of carnauba wax. There's more info on it here and here.
I have a bunch of process pics at my flickr and will also post the 'after' photos there soon too!
Then finally (hopefully) by this weekend we'll be able to move all our stuff back in (which is currently ALL in the living and dining rooms - including our bed!) and can get back to more normal life. My shop is sadly neglected and I'm starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms from not having been able to paint or sew very much for FAR too long! I'll let ya know right here on the blog when I have new cuties available. I have a couple of adorable lap dogs and a really gorgeous owling in the works :o)
Thanks for stopping by!

For years, I faithfully defended myself.
"Hey, I like what it provides. I'm not going to give up a good thing," I'd protest without caring what others thought of me. I was called naïve, behind the times, and a fool.
Today, I am admitting defeat.
I'm giving up on T-Mobile. Over the past few weeks, T-Mobile Sidekick users have been dealing with an onslaught of horrible services – being in full coverage but not sending/receiving, and seeing its "fetch e-mail" feature disabled, to name two. (And I know it's actually Danger who provides the service for Sidekicks. Doesn't matter to me.)
A bit about the feature I like the most on my Sidekick 3: users can set up POP accounts on your Sidekick to be "retrieved from" their e-mail servers every 20 to 30 minutes or so. In the past, because this 20-minute interval was too slow, I manually retrieved my e-mail by pressing MENU + U. About two months ago, I suddenly couldn't do this anymore, so I called T-Mobile. They said it was a server issue on their end, and it would be fixed within a week. That was two months ago.
Last Saturday, I called again. Without this feature, it's difficult for me to run my company when I'm away from the computer. Every customer representative I spoke with did not understand what this feature was, then denied it was down and insisted it was a coverage issue, and then claimed it was limited to my house only when I mentioned that my husband was unable to access his Gmail account on his pager like he had in the past. Never mind that every out-of-state friend who uses this feature is having the same problem.
After an hour and half and countless "Please hold while I check on that" responses, the (supposedly) top-tier supervisor said, "We do not guarantee the POP e-mail feature. We only guarantee the tmail address, the AIM program, and the other buttons on your screen. But for additional accounts you set up on your own, we do not guarantee this." When I asked to have the contract termination fee removed ($200, folks), given that T-Mobile was not performing to the level I was paying for, the supervisor repeated, "We do not guarantee…"
When I talked with other Sidekick users, they had the same problem. "But we're stuck in our contracts," they said, "and we just have to wait it out." I thought I'd do the same, even though my contract doesn't expire until August 2008.
But then I got to thinking. Didn't T-Mobile cater to deaf people in the past, given that we were their largest specialized customer base? There used to be T-Mobile representatives at every deaf event. When I was living in Chicago, there was even a local T-Mobile representative exclusive to the deaf community. Where are they these days? And why aren't we doing anything about this terrible service from T-Mobile? Why are we simply calling T-Mobile (in a few cases) and asking for credit, sometimes without success? Why aren't we mobilizing a letter-writing or some kind of e-mail campaign? Are we simply too lazy or do we think we're too unimportant?
I did a Google search to see if I was the only one having frustrations. I found quite a few websites, but what amazed me was that T-Mobile has "catapulted to the top of J.D. Power's rankings of customer care in the wireless industry. It has now won the biannual title six times in a row," says this article.
Sure, T-Mobile representatives are obviously well-trained in customer service – they always say, "Can I call you Trudy? How are you today, Trudy?" But that means diddly-squat to me when they don't know what they're talking about. Case in point: last Saturday's call, when I went through four or five representatives who had no clue, even though the 'fetch e-mail' feature is in the instructions, on the Internet and listed in the menu on the pager itself. Besides, I know I'm not the only one who has called about their ridiculously slow service the past few months. So why hasn't anything changed? Why is this still happening? Why hasn't anything been posted on DeafRead or on blogs in order to try and get this fixed?
Deaf people are among T-Mobile's most valuable customers, and T-Mobile must realize that pagers for deaf people are crucial.For me, my Sidekick is quite literally is a lifeline, given that I have my first child due in the next three weeks. Because of T-Mobile's unreliable service, my husband and I have had to set up alternate communication methods in case we're not together when labor starts.
T-Mobile needs to get its act together for its Sidekick users, but first, we Sidekick users need to get our act together in mobilizing some kind of campaign demanding better services. Otherwise, we have no right to complain about shelling out money every month for sub-par performance.
So, who wants to start?

No matter how the lodge seems to appear, often the pictures does not portray how amazing their stay was.
Let us help you with some of the great secrets to taking amazing accommodation photographs.
Find or create a certain mood
Accommodation with loads of character are often impractical. Use the features that seems unique and then capture the mood of the place.
How, you may ask? Use props, shoes, scarfs that reflects the character of the location or accommodation. Don't forget to use humour, that's always a winner shot.
Let the outside world in!
Try to capture both the inside and outside of your accommodation. Best of both worlds.
Take chance of vast openness, which includes the complete privacy provided by nature which can be found in various romantic lodges and destinations.
Create your own ambiance
Ask your host or accommodation to arrange a picnic or dinner outside etc.
Catch the shimmers of great interior accommodations
The photographs of interiors or buildings that are not well lite, will seem depressing and dull and you tend to put on the lights as soon as you enter a building changes the ambiance.
Did you know softer, warmish colors, works better, than the direct harsh light. It allows you to play with the filter of your image.
Above all these amazing shots, have fun, take plenty of photos, in-between the thousands there will be a few great shots that's newspaper worthy. So go on and enjoy your journey.

Men As Lovers: An Invitation to Richard's First-Ever Men's Transformational Group
As our world becomes increasingly overtaken by the obsession with what can be computized, planned, executed, and then rewarded financially, all of us, especially men, are drowning in a world of rationality, educated far beyond our relational intelligence, where often false beliefs become truths to argue, fight and even die for. We behave individualistically in our relationships which creates unnecessary separation so that we are literally starving for spiritual depth, love, and the of joy of rich intimacy. And our families and communities are starving as well.
As a conscious man Richard's deepest passion is to become capable of profound love and intimacy. On this path he has had to uncover and release subtle and deeply ingrained patterns of self-involvement that have blocked his ability to love and be loved. He sees that this is generally true for everyone and at this time in evolution it is especially crucial for men to go beyond separating states of self-involvement. He knows that he has something very important to share with men. This is why for the first time he wants to gather with a group of men to explore the fullest potential of ourselves as men and especially as lovers.
If this journey speaks to something in your heart, something you already know and feel the urge to live, join Richard in his first-ever but long-time envisioned gathering with men. Learn more about the Men as Lover's Transformational Group.

Research Day
April 24, 2017
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Academic research is headed to Rocky on Saturday, May 6.
The second annual Research Day, an event sponsored by the Gifted and Talented Program, will run from 12:00 to 4:00 pm in locations around the school.
The event showcases academic findings, such as papers, experiments, and proposals, that students must submit for approval before midnight on April 24. The projects will be presented either orally or visually on Research Day. The event is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to attend.
"The presentations are a really interesting way to learn about different subjects," said event organizer Amy Otteman-Freeman.
Although the GT program sponsors the event, all Rocky students are able to showcase their work. Last year, the event hosted 25 student presentations, but the goal is to have about 30 people presenting this year.
"We just started it last year," added Otteman. "[We] think it's important for students to see themselves as part of an academic community."

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
I actually had the funnest Valentine's Day I've ever had.
First of all, I've never celebrated V Day before. I always thought it was way too commercialized and there was no meaning to it. BUT! For people who want to celebrate it, I think it's awesome too! (I can't stand Grinches who make all kinds of disparaging remarks to people who do actually go out and celebrate.) It's your own personal choice if you choose not to, just like how it's their personal choice to celebrate!
This morning when i went to work I dressed with extra care and put more effort in my makeup. Why? Valentine's Day! It's a day for love - and a day I choose to love myself. Hee hee!! It's always fun to have an occasion to dress up, anyways.
It was quite cute because everyone in the office was wishing everyone Happy Valentine's Day (even during our con-calls) and we even planned to have a Valentine's lunch! I skipped out of it last minute but I think it's a pity, cause it was cute that everyone went out and celebrated!
The men in the office were funny. There were two responses :
1) Oh shoot. I guess I better get my wife flowers.
2) It's Valentine's day? Shit.
Then all the girls in the office (only one girl got flowers from her husband) were mock complaining about their husbands and the lack of roses.
After work, we went for Valentine's drinks (those who didn't have partners, or who's partners were overseas).
I always used to scoff at this, but I think people forget that it's a day not just for a partner, but a day to spend happy, and with nice people. And it's honestly fun, getting into the spirit of it, eating chocolates, giggling about stuff, and just going out and having drinks.
So, happy Valentine's day everyone! I hope you all have a good one :)

No OS file found on disk
I'm looking at a Toshiba Satellite L455D with Windows 7 home premium. It's has a hard drive about a year old, which I installed for the person at that time with a new copy of Windows. Now, it hangs at the 'starting windows screen.' Start up repair relays this message:
No OS files found on disk.
Repair action: Partition table repair
Result: Failed error code = 0x490
I had tried booting with the dvd prior to seeing this. When it asked what os i wanted to boot, it did list the current os.
The hard drive is listed correctly in the bios, so it is at least being recognized.
Start up repair seems to be suggesting that the hard drive is wiped, or bad.

I can certainly re install the system. I would like to use this option last if possible, as she wants her pics and docs off of if if possible. I have the install dvd and drivers at hand if needed. Next I will slap the hdd in my external case and see if I can access the info from my pc. I might also use a Linux live cd to boot it and see if i can also access the info there, as well as check the condition of the drive.
Once I tried sfc and it said there was a system repair in progress that is requiring a reboot. Reboot and try again. So I did, and got the same message repeated. With sfc, I was hoping to check the condition of the system files and replace if needed, also try writing or repairing boot sectors, but am not able to access sfc.

It's become common sense to admit that war can make soldiers crazy — the condition has been called everything from "shell shock" to "post traumatic stress disorder." But now a study published yesterday offers concrete evidence that war drives civilians crazy too. In the first nationwide study of civilian mental health in war zones, a group of researchers in Lebanon surveyed thousands of people in that country to correlate their exposure to war with the likelihood that they would develop a mental illness. The results don't bode well for the future mental health of the globe.
It's worth quoting rather extensively from a release about this study, which makes a somewhat subtle point. First, the researchers explored three different types of mental illness, ranging from mild to severe. They also point out that people in Lebanon on average don't have a higher rate of mental illness than people in other countries. When Lebanese civilians have been directly exposed to war, however, the likelihood that they will develop mental illness increases 3- to 13-fold. (Also, note that the researchers carefully define what "exposure to war" means.)
From a release about the study:
Elie Karam and colleagues . . . used a World Health Organization (WHO) interview tool to diagnose mental health disorders in a sample of 3,000 adults in Lebanon representative of the population. They investigated the question of lifetime prevalence (the proportion of Lebanese who have a mental disorder at some point in their lives) and the age of onset of mental disorders, as well as the delay they experienced in receiving treatment . . . They also asked each participant in the study about their experience of traumatic events relating to war, including whether they had been a refugee (38 % of people in the study), a civilian in a war zone (55%), or witnessed death or injury (18%). Although the relationship between war and the mental health of people serving in the military has been described before, this is the first time that a nationally representative study has assessed the effect of war on the first onset of mental disorders in a civilian population.
The authors describe that one in four Lebanese in this study had a mental health disorder during their lifetime, according to the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria that the WHO tool uses, with major depression being the most common disorder. This is similar to prevalence of mental illness in the United Kingdom and lies within the range observed in the WHO's World Mental Health Surveys in other countries. The researchers also estimated that one in three Lebanese would have one or more mental disorders by the age of 75, which is also similar to survey results in other countries. Only half the surveyed people with a mental disorder had ever received professional help; of those who did have a mental disorder, the delay in treatment ranged from 6 years for mood disorders to 28 years for anxiety disorders. Finally, exposure to war-related events increased the risk of developing an anxiety, mood, or impulse -control disorder by 6-fold, 3-fold and 13-fold respectively.
Given that more and more people are being exposed to war, or having to flee countries or cities to escape from it, this study makes it clear that we should expect to see more mental illness across the world generally. Of course, the authors make it clear that more studies are needed. Still, the data so far look grim indeed.
