Best time to visit
Palakkad can get very hot in summer, almost like Chennai, but come monsoons and its cool breeze and pleasant weather. You can make a tour to Palakkad anytime except the summer months of March to May when the mercury soars high.
Getting ThereBy Air
The nearest airport is Coimbatore Airport that is 60 km away.By Rail
The nearest railhead is Palakkad station, which is well connected to all cities.By Road
Palakkad Kerala in is on NH 47 that links Salem to Kanyakumari via coimbatore. The KSRTC station is on the Shoranur Road and has buses connecting to all major towns in the state.
Sights and Attractions PalakkadTipu's Fort
When on a tour to Palakkad a must visit place is Tipu's Fort. Also known as Palakkad Fort, it stands in the heart of the town. Built by Hyder Ali in 1766, supposedly to facilitate communication between both sides of the Western Ghats; closer to the truth would be that Ali and his son-Tipu Sultan wanted to establish their suzerainty over Kerala. It was after coming to Palakkad that the duo seized parts of Malabar. The fort changed hands when the British captured it. Tipu was not to give up on his property easily but his repeated encounters with the British cost him his life. When he died in 1799 at Srirangapatana in an encounter, the fort came to be known by his name.Nelliyampathy
Have you been to Nelliyampathy, is a question you often hear. It's even better than Munnar, is the next statement. The people of Palakkad are justly proud of their hills. At a height of 467 to 1, 572 metres above sea level, this captivating hill station, with its hill pin road bends, is a destination for those seeking to commune with nature. When on a tour to Palakkad, passing through the breathtaking evergreen forests of the Sahyadri ranges is a thrilling activity; this is a great place for trekkers. At a point called Seetharkundu ranges, you even get a panoramic view of almost the whole of Palakkad Kerala. The Kachamkurichi Temple, famous for its murals, is also located here.Mayiladumpara Sanctuary
If you are a tour to Palakkad never miss a chance to make a visit to Mayiladumpara Sanctuary. About 40 kms east of Cheruthuruthy, at Nedungathpara, a right turn leads into the woodlands. This extensive forest has been home to peacocks since ages. You can hear the loud squeals often enough. However, according to the people in the few scattered settlements inside the sanctuary, the birds can be sighted often at dawn and dusk. Not bound by any fences and gates, the sanctuary allows free access.Thiruvalathur Bhagavathi Temple
One of the 108 Durga temples in the country, Thiruvalathur has an interesting story behind it. It is believed that an army of gods constructed the outer wall of the temple. Using stones from the Nila River, they worked through the night at a feverish pitch. But at dawn the work remained incomplete. Not wanting to be seen by human beings, the gods left, leaving the construction incomplete at several points. Despite efforts much later on by humans, the work could not be carried out. The walls remain unfinished, as it is believed that mortals cannot complete this work.
The Thiruvalathur festival is a 10 day long one, held in January. The best thing to see when on a tour to Palakkad? The 4,000 stone lamps fixed on the wall, lit up at night.Sanctuary
Silent Valley National Park
Located along the western corner of the Nilgiris Silent valley National Park is one of the last vestiges of an undisturbed tropical evergreen rainforest. With an unbroken ecological history, which has been continuously evolving for millions of years, this is a unique region. This Eden is one place where you can experience what it might have been like on this planet before man arrived on the scene. Environmentalists term it an ecological island, one that contains immense biological and genetic wealth.
It is called Silent Valley, yet it throbs with the sounds of the forests. Today, the Silent Valley National Park forms a part of the core area of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The park has more than 960 species of flora, of which some are so exclusive to the park that they have been named after the area. The Valley has 25 species of mammals, 12 species of fish, 35 species of reptiles, 95 species of butterflies and 255 species of moths.Trekking Options
If you intend to go trekking in Kerala forests, you will have to prove your credentials and intentions as nature-lovers. The Conservative of Forests, who is based at Palakkad, grants permission on close scrutiny of papers. With this permission, you can choose from several trekking routes. Silent Valley abounds in numerous trials, ranging from day-long to three-day treks over difficult terrain. Trekking in Kerala through Silent Valley is arduous, definitely not meant for the faint hearted.Activities
What to buy
Palakkad's Valiya Angadi (big bazaar) is a full of shops that sells traditional metal ware, like the villakku or the brass lamp in various designs, such as the peacock lamp or the hanging lamp. There is an also old utensil of curio value like kindi or the ashtamangalyam. Also look out for Mannadiar Handicrafts or Antique Warehouse. Do not forget to check out Nedungadi Saree Paradise on Court Road range of neriyathu mundu or settu sari in cream and gold.
Where to eat
When on a tour to Palakkad try the deliciously crisp and burnished a molten gold; its banana chips that are famous here. What's so different about them? Nothing you can put your finger on, except perhaps the air that brings a certain quality to the raw produce, resulting in these addictive chips. Presumably it's this excellence in the bananas, which has also given rise to the vast number of pazham pori (sweet bananas fried in batter) one is confronted with. Available at all chayakadas, it is most fulfilling when had fresh, with a hot cup of tea. And let's not forget toddy. Sweet and non heady, when you visit a kallu shaap here, you known you're getting the right deal.Things to do
• Breakfast at Saraswathy tea stall in Ramassery
• A sabbatical at the Kalari Kovilakom Palace in Kollengode
• Trekking in Silent valley.

There is joy and relief in Wingnut World today thanks to the narrow failure of Wisconsin Democrats to win enough recall elections to take over the state's Senate chamber (needing three new seats out of the six being contested, Democrats won two and lost the crucial third by just over 2,000 votes). Though this was a very unusual election in which vast quantities of last-minute conservative money (a total of $8 million was spent in the pivotal district, a bit more than the average state legislative race) probably made the difference, you can expect many jabberers from the Right to call this the final, definitive victory of the people over "labor bosses" determined to keep Scott Walker from giving job-creators the encouragement they need to invest in the state. Next week's recall elections for two Democratic senators, which are not expected to go well for Republicans, probably won't get as much national attention. Democrats will then have a tough decision to make about whether to seek a recall of Walker next year. But overall, the main importance of the Wisconsin struggle is that it will likely become a sort of laboratory for what the contending parties—and their ideological allies—will do nationally in 2012.
Aside from Wisconsin, and the continued preparatory skirmishing over the budget timeline set out in the August 1 debt limit, there are two main preoccupations among conservative activists and talkers. One is the war of interpretation over economic developments, including the threat of a double-dip recession, the Standard & Poor's downgrading of its rating for federal bonds, and the extreme instability of U.S. and global stock markets. So far few, if any, conservatives are bending their general line on the ontological necessity of sharp and immediate federal spending cuts and radical deficit reduction measures in the face of poor economic growth indicators. For example, conservatives have shown no signs of interest in the president's call for extension of the payroll tax cuts agreed to last December. Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann gets points for audacious consistency in arguing that the bond downgrading, explained by S&P as in no small part attributable to pessimism about future debt limit agreements because of Republican fanaticism on taxes, was actually caused by the debt limit agreement itself.
The second preoccupation in Wingnut World, as in the broader world of political junkies, is with the developments in the Republican presidential race that will unfold over the next few days. In Iowa, a presidential candidate debate on Thursday will immediately be followed by Saturday's State Republican Party straw poll in Ames. The debate, sponsored by Fox News and the conservative Washington Examiner, will include not only the candidates competing in the Straw Poll, but also Mitt Romney, who is not, and could therefore be the target of zingers from rivals desperately trying to create some turnout-generating buzz in Ames.
In terms of what is likely to happen at the Straw Poll, there is a general consensus that Tim Pawlenty has the best organization but little enthusiasm; Michele Bachmann has the most enthusiasm but a questionable organization; Rick Santorum could well surprise people by doing better than Herman Cain; and Ron Paul, with the right combination of committed supporters and superior organization, could win the whole thing if turnout is not very high. Both Pawlenty and Bachmann really need a win in Ames. But it's Pawlenty who needs it the most, having focused on Iowa for many months and positioned himself to become the "electable conservative alternative to Mitt Romney" down the road. His limited financial means and terrible poll standings across the country—and the impending entry of another "electable conservative alternative to Mitt Romney," Rick Perry—could mean curtains if he doesn't pull off the Straw Poll victory.
Speaking of Perry, he's apparently going to announce or at least semi-announce his candidacy in South Carolina in the friendly confines of the annual get-together of Erick Erickson's Red State community. The fact that his speech in Charleston occurs the very same day as the Straw Poll has caused some angst among Iowa Republicans, who view it as an effort to horn in on their media attention. So it's not surprising Perry is planning to scurry up to Iowa (to Bachmann's original home town of Waterloo) on Sunday. From Perry's point of view, a Paul win in Ames, damaging Bachmann and perhaps finishing off T-Paw, and making the entire exercise (which he skipped) otherwise irrelevant, would be ideal. But even before announcing, Perry has managed to vault himself into the top tier of candidates, essentially succeeding in taking over T-Paw's spot as the putative "unity candidate" between the electability-challenged Bachmann and the ideologically-challenged Romney. That's quite a feat for a guy who keeps flip-flopping on hot-button social issues; has gotten dangerously cozy with religious extremists; has a habit of startling his fellow-conservatives with stunts like his 2008 championship of Rudy Guiliani; and has never been terribly popular in his own state.

On Monday, I wondered where graduates of "elite" universities would start their careers now that Wall Street jobs are no longer considered particularly safe (or for that matter, lucrative) career options.
At Vox EU, the M.I.T. economist Esther Duflo argues that they will land in a better place. She says the bright side of the Wall Street crisis is that the young people normally recruited by Wall Street firms will now take jobs "where their creative energies would be socially more useful."
The complex financial products, but also the evolution of standards in the social sectors over the past 30 years, have made the financial sector particularly attractive to any graduate, intelligent as he or she may be.
What the crisis has made bluntly apparent is that all this intelligence is not employed in a particularly productive way …
The financial crisis could plunge us into a severe and prolonged recession. The only silver lining is that it could cause a more realistic allocation of talents. One must hope that the bailout packages in Wall Street and in Europe do not convince the best and brightest that the financial sector is still their best option.
She also discusses whether wage caps or higher taxes may further push would-be Wall Street workers onto different career paths.

As you predicted Margie and Luke were eliminated in this week's fifth episode of the "The Amazing Race." The mother-and-son team made the fateful decision to go stand-by for the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Colombo that the first six teams were on rather than risk a short connection time in Singapore.
Brendon and Rachel, who were in last place and facing a Speed Bump, took that chance and came out ahead. Despite Brendon's difficulties at the Detour with the dancing and the Road Block with the sewing, they still finished ahead of Margie and Luke who were resolute in defeat.
Father-and-son cancer survivors Dave and Connor won the leg (and five grand each) while country singers Jennifer and Caroline had their best showing ever with a second place finish. Leo and Jamal, who you had finishing first, came in fourth while last week's top racers Cord and Jet came in third.
Congratulations to our User noe who scored an impressive 2380 points with their predictions. Savvy placement of the bonus 100 points gave him the edge over Bogie Miller.
However, jonny — who scored only 377 points this week — remains out in front of all other competitors with 4441 points. See the full leaderboard here.
If he winds up with the most points at the end of the season, he will win a chance to chat with host Phil Keoghan and a $100 Amazon gift certificate. Can you put an end to his race?

Brothers sisters at the outset I want to greet you a greeting of Islam: Peace be upon you, but after
As noted, the subject of this debate is whether the Quran is the word of God ??
As it is well known, I am a Muslim and therefore I believe that the Qur'an from God revealed to the last messenger of Allah Muhammad peace be upon him
I believe this is based on several foundations and I will try to set forth facts in this debate with you, God willing
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Greetings to you and good luck.
Before touching the Koran that was really the word of God must first make it clear that Muhammad was a messenger from God, and since the brothers here majority of them Christians, I want to quote from the Bible, who believe in him and which he says.
"But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16 :7
I want to ask my brothers and sisters of Christians: who is this comforter who speaks about Jesus???
Many will answer "the Holy Spirit", my answer then will: the Holy Spirit was before or after Jesus ?? Everyone knows he was before, so it should not be on Jesus to go for the sending, this comforter conclude that he is not the Holy Spirit, but rather is the messenger comes after Jesus and he is the Prophet Muhammad is Allah bless him and grant him peace.
"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." John 16:12-13
I ask again, who is the "Spirit of truth" ??? And do not tell me that the Holy Spirit, because we will return to the first point (before or after Jesus), and here I want to ask a question important: Who is the Spirit of truth, who does not speak of his own, but what he hears ?? we say to you he is Mohammed and this is what we believe in because he does not know how to read and not write, but also convey what is revealed to him (the only Prophet illiterate).
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
You, dear children,are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." 1 John 4:1-6
Again i ask another question: Jesus peace be upon him gives you a way, or test to see sincere spirit of false so why not apply this test at Mohammed peace be upon him ?? He is the only prophet after Jesus who believes what it says Jesus and we Muslims are not a muslims if we did not believe in Jesus and what it says.
"O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he was! i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah."Surah Ale-Imran (The Family of Imran) 3:45
Mohammed inspired by God says that Jesus is the Messiah translated Christ, the only prophet who believe that Jesus is the Christ, and that is precisely the test who put Jesus, so why do not believe ???
Muslim is not completed his conversion to Islam if he did not believe in Jesus as a messenger from God, one of God's greatest messengers.
"Many quotations and the Gospels tell you that Muhammad is the Messenger of God and I can not show them all, I only choose from the Gospel of John
In the fourth Brothers and sisters, I hope that you will be open-minded, and, do not read fanatically for your beliefs
And Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds
I will be approaching this question using 3 strategies: using the Qur'an to falsify itself, using the Bible to prove the Qur'an is a fraud, and using the Qur'an to prove that it copied other sources.
Before Con comes up in his rebuttal and objet to my use of the Bible to judge the Qur'an, let me just point out the fact that he appealed to the Bible to try to prove the Qur'an is the Word of God. Therefore, he can't object to my use of the Bible, when he appealed to it. By appealing to it you establish its authority
Using the Qur'an to falsify itself
Just so I am clear, I am not using the Qur'an because I believe it is the word of God. I appeal to it because my opponent believes it's the word of God, so it's authoritative for him, but not for me.
This argument is very simple and it works like this, the Qur'an says that the true followers of Jesus would prevail over the disbelievers, until the day of judgment, in 2 places:
[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. (3:55, Sahih International)
O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah , as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah ?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah ." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant. (61:14, Sahih International)
Now let me just comment on these passages, what these passages are saying is that the true followers of Jesus would be the ones who prevail over the disbelievers who supposedly tried to change the message of Jesus. But if we go back in history, the only disciples who ever prevailed were the Christians who believed in the New Testament, which teaches that Jesus is God, died on the cross for sinners, and rose again on the 3rd day.
All of which the Qur'an denies. (Surah 4:157, 5:72, 35:18)
So this places Muslims in a dilemma.
If the Qur'an is true in saying that the true followers of Jesus prevailed, then the Qur'an is wrong, because the followers of Jesus who prevailed were the ones who contradicted Islam.
But if the message of Jesus got corrupted as Muslims very commonly claim, well then the Qur'an is still wrong, because the Qur'an says that the true message of Jesus would prevail over the disbelievers.
So no matter what your view of what happened to the true message of Jesus is, the Qur'an is wrong, which places Muslims in a no-win situation.
Part 2 of my argument works like this: The Qur'an confirms the Bible, while at the same time contradicting the core message of the Bible
He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. (3:3, Sahih International)
Now let me just briefly comment on this verse. This translation mistranslates what the Arabic is actually saying. The word translated as "confirming what was before it" should in actuality be translated as "confirming that which is between his hands"
In the Arabic, it says "musadeeqin leema bayna yadayhee", which literally means "confirming what is between his hands". And any Arabic speaker will confirm the truth of this. I think my opponent speaks Arabic, so if he is honest, he will confirm the truth of this.
But the point is this...the Qur'an is confirming the previous scriptures that we have access to, namely the Torah and the Gospel. So therefore, the Qur'an is saying that it confirms the scriptures that Muhammad and his contemporaries had access to. As far as what the Gospel looked like at the time of Muhammad, there is no question, it is the same Gospels that we read today.
But there is problem, the Gospel says that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on the cross for sinners, and rose again on the 3rd day, all of which the Qur'an denies.
Therefore, if the Gospel we have today is true, the Qur'an is false, for it contradicts the Gospel.
However, if you want to say that the Gospels have been corrupted, then the Qur'an is still wrong, because it says that the Gospels are not corrupt, so either way the Qur'an is wrong.
This is another no-win situation for the Muslims.
So if the Qur'an is wrong either way, then the Qur'an is not the word of God.
Using the Bible to falsify the Qur'an
In the New Testament in particular we have the criteria for an Antichrist
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. (1 John 2:22)
Lo and behold, the Qur'an goes out of it's way to deny both the Father and the Son:
And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your sins? Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has created. (5:18, Moulana translation)
And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they! (9:30, Moulana translation)
Remember, my opponent appealed to 1 John in his opening, so that gives me the authority to appeal to the same book. And according to the author of 1 John, whoever denies that Jesus is the Son of God, and denies the Fatherhood of God is an Antichrist, Muhammad denied both the Father and the Son. Therefore, Muhammad is Antichrist according to the standards of the book that my opponent appealed to.
The Qur'an borrowing other sources:
I will list several examples of the Qur'an plagiarizing other sources, proving that is not from God:
I bring you a sign from your Lord. From clay I will make for you the likeness of a bird. I shall breath into it and, by God's leave, it shall become a living bird. (Surah 3:49)
copied from...
And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds...esus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. (Infancy Gospel of Thomas, part III; http://gnosis.org...)
[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive. (Surah 19:30-31)
copied from...
He has said that Jesus spoke, and, indeed, when He was lying in His cradle said to Mary His mother: I am Jesus, the Son of God, the Logos, whom thou hast brought forth, as the Angel Gabriel announced to thee; and my Father has sent me for the salvation of the world. (Arabic Infancy Gospel, part I, http://www.gnosis.org...)
Now Muhammad obviously didn't include the part that had Jesus saying he is the Son of God, but he most certainly copied the idea that Jesus spoke from the cradle. One thing to notice is just look at the amount of anachronisms in Surah 19:30-31, the Qur'an puts in the mouth of Jesus two of the five pillars of Islam, how very convenient, Muhammad replaces Jesus saying he is the Son of God, with him saying that he is a Prophet and him supposedly saying he would do prayer and zakat. Muhammad is essentially taking our Lord and turning him into a Muslim, which he never was.
How do you think Muslims would react if someone came 600 years after Muhammad (Ahmadiyyas in this case) and put the following words into the mouth of Muhammad:
"Indeed, I am the messenger of Allah, and I am giving glad tidings of a blessed apostle to come after me, who is the Messiah named Ghulam Ahmed".
No Muslim on the planet would believe Muhammad said this. Why? Because there is nor record of him in the Hadiths saying it, nor anywhere else for that matter.
But anyways, the point is the Qur'an plagiarizes other sources, edited them a little, and passed it on as its own ideas, when in reality, it isn't.
Interestingly, the Qur'an itself record those who made this claim:
"They say, 'Fairy-tales of the ancients that he has had written down, so that they are recited to him at the dawn and in the evening.'" (25:5, Arberry tranlation)
Now why would the Qur'an record this claim unless, that's what the people were saying? Even the people at Muhammad's time knew that the stories he was telling wasn't anything new. "Muhammad, we've heard these stories before, these are simply mythical stories that you have copied down." This is essentially what Muhammad is being charged with, and the charge was fully justified, Muhammad did in fact copy the fables down as part of his Qur'an.
The Quran's suped response to this claim is "Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful.""(Surah 25:6)
So quite clearly, Muhammad is denying their allegations, while they were true.
So in summary, I have shown that the Qur'an is false by using the Qur'an to falsify itself, I have used the Bible to falsify the Qur'an, and I have used the fact that Muhammad copied down mythical stories from the Jews and Christians as part of his Qur'an proving that the Qur'an is not from God, because God wouldn't plagiarize other sources without giving them credit.
All of these reasons combined show that the Qur'an is not the word of God, but rather a man-made book.
My brother, I said that most of the brothers here are Christians so I will quote from the Bible, the English-language and which is your language does not mean that I believe in and what he says but I wanted to understand you with your book who you believe in it.
Brother came with quotations from the Koran to tell us that the followers of Jesus are the incline and so on ... but brother understand the whole issue "Wrong" and we're not in a dilemma and we were not in a dilemma and we will not be in a dilemma, God willing, for we Muslims we believe that Jesus, not Lord, it is a messenger from God sent to the children of Israel to invite them to worship the one God, some of them they believed what he brought, and these are the Christians who speaks their Koran not who say and believe that god is 3 in 1, and if the brother read the quotations and interpreted well rather than past it directly to understand the meaning, especially as he ws a Muslim I think.
As for the second Parts of your speech;
Brother, you are running in the same vicious circle, because you understand that Christianity mentioned in the Koran, is Christianity that apply now, and this is wrong.
And I comfirm here that the translation of the verse (3: 3) is incorrect 100% and what you said is the correct translation
"confirming what is between his hands" that there is no god but Alah not you say now that 3, and not this books that you read now And that change every day.
My brother, I want to take the opportunity to correcting you that the Bible did not say sent after 3 days, but said after a day and two nights, and that did not believe me look good and you will know the truth, and here we put a number of questions about the validity of the existing speech.
As for the quotation of the Gospel, which are many and i can not comment on them all,because I want to talk about the Koran, which is the corresponding address, the whole talk that who does not believe that Jesus is God, he is the Antichrist. I want to challenge here my brother and every Christian on the face of the earth, that if he comes to me with a simple verse clear and understandable of the Gospel, which he says Jesus with his tongue i am a god or worship me, I am ready to converted to Christianity, and I want to clarify something that "do not coming to me with Paulus said or another person i wana jesus talk.
In another, my brother said that, Mohammed, peace be upon him and had taken or copied from other books and so on, my brother, He was illiterate illiterate, tell me how a man illiterate to copy from other books? Incidentally, this is a fulfilment of a prophecy in your book i quote from isaiah 29 : 12 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned." and dont tell me that you dont know the story of the descent of the revelation to Muhammad, peace be upon him, so if my opponent is honest, he will confirm the story.
This is the evidence that this great Koran is the word of God, and this illiterate Prophet had came with a book in it a lot and a lot of scientific facts, which recently discovered, can not mention them all,
For example: the earth is round, the Big Bang and how the universe maded, the stages form the fetus, the water cycle, sensory receptors in human skin, and many many recent discoveries, and those who want to get out detailed them with quotations, this video of Dr. Zakir Naik in it what I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com...
Now tell me how a man illiterate knew all these facts 1400 years ago, in ٍthe desert of Mecca if he was not from God ???
In the latter I wanted to warn that the brother did not comment on something which I said in the second round it calls me to say I was right in everything I said.
And Praise be to Allah, and prayer and peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad the last messenger of Allah.
Con said "we believe that Jesus, not Lord, it is a messenger from God sent to the children of Israel to invite them to worship the one God, some of them they believed what he brought, and these are the Christians who speaks their Koran not who say and believe that god is 3 in1."
My response: I'd like to thank Con for just confirming my point. If you notice what he said, he said that Jesus brought the message of "worshiping one God, not 3 in 1." But if you paid any attention to my opening statement, that was precisely my point. The Qur'an said the true followers of Jesus would prevail against the disbelievers. The disbelievers according to Islam were the Christians who believe that Jesus is God, yet, that is exactly what the NT writers teach concerning Jesus. For the verses that explicitly call Jesus God, read the following verses: John 1:1, John 20:28, Romans 9:5, Philippians 2:5-6, Colossians 2:9, Titus 2:13, and Hebrews 1:8. All of these passages without question call Jesus God. Yet, these are the Christians who prevailed in the 1st century. But if these were the Christians who prevailed, then the Qur'an may have been correct in saying his true followers would prevail, but those followers believed in doctrine that contradicts the Qur'an, which means the Qur'an is wrong. Con didn't address the argument, he just confirmed it, so I thank him for that.
If you want more proof that the Christians who believed Jesus is God prevailed, let me quote to you an early Church Father, Ignatius of Antioch (35 AD-117 AD).
And he is a very important Church Father because he was a personal disciple of the Apostle John as well as Peter. He would be in a position to echo what the disciples were saying concerning Christ, and here is what he writes in his epistle to the Ephesians:
We have also as a Physician the Lord our God, Jesus the Christ, the only-begotten Son and Word, before time began,but who afterwards became also man, of Mary the virgin. For "the Word was made flesh." (Ignatius' epistle to the Ephesians, ch. 7)
Con said "And I comfirm here that the translation of the verse (3: 3) is incorrect 100% and what you said is the correct translation "confirming what is between his hands" that there is no god but Alah not you say now that 3, and not this books that you read now And that change every day."
My response: Well at first, I was happy that Con was being honest for the first part of his statement...until he said it doesn't confirm what we have today. But he just contradicted himself in the same sentence. If the Qur'an "confirms that which is between his (Muhammad's) hands" then that means he is confirming the scriptures to be uncorrupt. Why would Muhammad confirms scriptures that were corrupted? So no in fact, you are wrong I am afraid. By Muhammad confirming the Gospel and Torah he had access to at his time, he is confirming the scriptures that we have today. This is because the Torah and Gospel haven't changed since the time of Muhammad and is virtually identical to what we read today.
Con said "I want to challenge here my brother and every Christian on the face of the earth, that if he comes to me with a simple verse clear and understandable of the Gospel, which he says Jesus with his tongue i am a god or worship me, I am ready to converted to Christianity, and I want to clarify something that "do not coming to me with Paulus said or another person i wana jesus talk."
My response: I just can't believe that Con would resort to this argument of "where did Jesus say "I am God, worship me'". This is a very common objection. And the idea is that Jesus must use a specific set of words, or else he can't be God. It doesn't matter if he is called God, it doesn't matter if he is called the Creator of all things, it doesn't matter if he is called Yahweh, it doesn't matter if he accepts worship in a religious context (which in a religious context, only God is to be worshipped), none of that matters; if the specific words aren't used by Jesus, then he can't be God according to Muslims.
Let me ask you a question, you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, right? Well then, show me where Jesus said "I am the Messiah" in those exact words, can't do it, he doesn't say it. Therefore, Jesus is not the Messiah according to Islam. Now how many Muslims would take this objection seriously. I am sure Con wouldn't, so why even bother raising the question.
But let me answer the objection anyways.
The reason why Jesus didn't walk around Israel telling the people "I am God, Worship me" is very simple. If any Jew in the 1st century heard Jesus saying "I am God", they would either think he is crazy, or would get a false assumption of who he is claiming to be. If Jesus simply walked on the scene and said "I am God", the Jews would've thought in their minds that he is claming to be God the Father. Anytime God is used without qualification, then it refers to the Father. But Jesus would've been a bad communicator if he gave people the impression that he was claiming to be God the Father, when he wasn't, he is the Divine Son of God. Therefore, in order for him to clearly communicate who he is, he would have to speak so that he distinguishes himself from the Father, while at the same time claiming to be God using words, no mere prophet would ever say, which is exactly what he does, here are a few examples:
"Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you." 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I am working." 18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God."
Notice how the Jews reacted to his claim, they understood that he was not the Father, yet he was claiming to be God, by claiming the preogitive to work on the sabbath, which any Jew living in the 1st century knew, only God could work on the Sabbath. Essentially what Jesus said to them is "Hey, my Father works on the Sabbath, therefore, I being the Son, I too work on the Sabbath." You see how clear Jesus is. Here is a perfect example of Jesus claiming to be God while distinguishing himself from the Father. The Jews stoned him because they knew that he was claiming to be God by claiming to Divine perogotive to work on the Sabbath. And Jesus never corrected the Jews who thought he was claiming to be God. Therefore, John 5:17-18 is a clear claim by Jesus to his Deity.
Second part of the objection: "where did Jesus say 'worship me'"
Very simple, continue reading John 5, and Jesus makes that very claim:
"that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him." (John 5:23)
No mere prophet would ever dare claim that he must receive the same honor as God the Father does. If you ask any 1st century Jew "how do you honor God the Father?", their response would be "We pray to and worship him as our Creator" Well Jesus said that you must honor him just as you honor the Father, meaning you must worship Jesus as God, just as you worship the Father as God. He then goes on to say that if you don't honor him like that, you are rejecting the Father who sent him.
So in answer to your question, Jesus claimed to be God in John 5:17-18, and he said to worship him in John 5:23.
Are you ready to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior now?
If Jesus was not God, then he is either a lunatic or a diabolical deceiver. No mere prophet who is God-fearing would ever say the things Jesus said if he wasn't God.
Con said "isaiah 29 : 12 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned." and dont tell me that you dont know the story of the descent of the revelation to Muhammad, peace be upon him, so if my opponent is honest, he will confirm the story."
My response: You may have a point, but there is a problem, did you even bother reading the verse you quoted? If you actually read it in context, Isaiah is writing about judgment concerning the Nation of Israel. He is not predicting a prophet to come, he is saying these are the excuses tha nation of Israel comes up with to refuse to listen to the word of God. Therefore, if Isaiah 29:12 is about Muhammad, then Muhammad is condemned, because God is condemning people who say this.
Con said "Now tell me how a man illiterate knew all these facts 1400 years ago, in ٍthe desert of Mecca if he was not from God ???"
My response: The science in the Qur'an is not stuff that requires divine revelation to know. All it requires is a passing aquaintance with general knowledge about the primitive state of science at the time.
As far as John 16 and the Spirit of Truth, the answer is very simple, you say that the Holy Spirit was already present so how could it be the Holy Spirit? Well, if we continue reading what Jesus says, in John 14, which is the same context as John 16:
"even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. (John 14:17)
Jesus is not saying the Helper wasn't already there with them, he was saying that he is currently present, but the difference is, when Jesus returns back to his glory with the Father, the Spirit will now be inside the disciples.
This also proves that the Spirit of Truth is God, because Jesus said the Spirit would be in all the disciples at the same time, showing you he is omnipresent (can be in more than 1 place at the same time), and only God is omnipresent.
So this passage is a nightmare for Islam. If Muhammad is the Spirit, the logical conclusion is that he must be God then.
With that said, I have proven my case, the Qur'an is not the word of God.

Well guess what....Qur'an: 100% fabrication, how about that?
And my challenge still stands, show me where Jesus says "I am the Messiah" in those exact words, don't tell me what the Qur'an says, tell me what Jesus says. (Notice, I am only using your own criteria against the deity of Jesus against your religion.)
ALL that the Father has IS MINE; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (John 16:15)
You want proof that Jesus Christ is God according to his words?
"Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. " (John 5:25)
Does this sound like Jesus didn't think that he was God? Jesus Christ is saying that at the end of the World, everyone will hear HIS voice, and due to the sound of his voice, EVERYONE will be resurrected, including you, including Muhammad, and including all Muslims. And according to the Qur'an, this is something ONLY Allah does. So here we have Jesus claiming to do something that the Qur'an admits only Allah does, Jesus says "I will do it".
How much more clearer could Jesus get that he thought of himself as the God of all creation?
Another proof Jesus thought he was God...
"Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I DIED, AND BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOREVER MORE, and I HAVE THE KEYS OF DEATH AND HADES." (Revelation 1:17-18)
Jesus Christ explicitly calls himself the First and the Last, something which both the Old Testament and the Qur'an say that only God can say of himself, no mere created creature would ever say that he is the First and the Last.
"Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last." (Isaiah 48:12)
Whatever is in the heavens and earth exalts Allah , and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise...HE IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.
So 600+ years before Islam, Jesus claimed for himself a title that belongs to Allah alone in Islam.
Could Jesus be anymore clear that he is God?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that only God is the First and the Last.
Good, now you see the absurdity and complete irrationality in your reasoning.
You see how stupid and pathetic your argument is now. So now you think that what I ask is silly, but you asking similar questions to try to discredit my faith, is not silly. Classical case of double standards. Any time you have to resort to double standards to attack a faith proves that you have a failed argument.
You told me, "Jesus will come back to correct your worship of him"..
You know what...enough of this nonsense of quoting your false prophet about what Jesus supposedly will do.
Jesus is going to come back to destroy your false religion and throw your false prophet to be tortured in the Lake of Fire for eternity.
Your false prophet, as well as all Muslims are the property of Jesus Christ. He owns you, he created you, and he yet you reject him for who he is.
Again, I don't care if you want to reject Jesus as your God.
Jesus himself made himself very clear, if you reject his claims to be God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24), meaning, you to end up with Satan and your false prophet in Hell.
I already gave you verses where Jesus claims to be God. Yet you still reject it.
Claim Bible corruption all you want. Islam, just like many other cults have to say the Bible has been corrupted because it contradicts their man-made religion.
Mormons say the Bible is corrupted, their claim isn't any more or any less reliable than the Muslims claim of Bible corruption, it is COMPLETELY unreliable.
Jesus peace be upon him sent as a prophet, to the children of Israel, believed in him some, given a book called Gospel (This is not who you read), the rest tried to crucifixion him, but he was t crucified, but God lifted him, and he will return (not to add anything, but for blame you for worship him)
The problem that the book he left behind falsified and still to this day change, Add to this that the original book in Hebrew, when translated literally the meanings change, I'll give you an example: We Arabs say about the father that he is the god of the family (literally), this does not mean that we worship our father.
But when you translate you do not understand the sense, I'll give you another example: when I speak with men in the road, i tell him my father or my uncle, out of respect to him, this does not mean that he is my biology father , i means that you miss understand the Gospel , add to this distortion, which got him, all of this gives us the current Christian
for us the current Gospel= 10% real gospel + 50% falsification + 40% miss understanding the real meaning
in the last i wanna finish with Ahmad Deedat this great men who shook the throne of the church, even the pope was afraid to debate him ( search to know), ransoms his life for the truth and he had it, God willing Christherna with him in paradise, and we'll see who bun in fire.
allahoma ichehad ani balaghete
my answer : brother your many and mannyyy books which is supposed to talk about the life of Jesus, you did not find just one statement in which jesus say i am god, you came to looking for a statement in the Quran, what's this logic ???
I don't blame you, it is hard defending a cult like Islam.
my answer: I am not defending Islam, You know why ?? Because it is very easy, he is defending himself.
"Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions." 4:82
Or do they say: "He (Muhammad ) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Surah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!" 10:38
the quran chalenge you give a chapter like unto it.
I did not say that the verse changed because the presence of the name Mohammed, but It changed because it symbolizes and quite clearly Muhammad peace be upon him
The old verse is: "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned"
The new verse, becoming :" Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "Read this, please," they will answer, "I don't know how to read."
And I'll let you wonder about the reason for, and the feasibility of the change
Add to this confession, that Jesus is the last messenger, i say : this is good i was thinking that you think him a god. You are wandering brother
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. (1 John 4:1-3)
You tried to argue from this passage that if you believe in Jesus, you are a true prophet, which proves Muhammad is a prophet. You are just silly, this passage understood in the proper way it is meant to be interpreted actually ends up proving Muhammad is Antichrist.
Notice what John is saying...."Every spirit that says Jesus has come in the flesh, is from God, anyone who denies Jesus has come in the flesh is Antichrist"
What John means here is very clear in the prologue of John's Gospel, written by the same author of 1 John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
And the Word became flesh (God's incarnation) and dwelt among us.
To deny what John said in his prologue is what makes you Antichrist according to John himself.
Muhammad denied this, you deny it, therefore, both of you end up being Antichrist.
So don't use 1 John 4, because this verse actually works against you not for you.
1 John 4, another proof that Muhammad is inspired by Satan, thanks for helping me prove that. LOL
To be honest, I couldn't careless if you deny who Jesus is, you want to burn in Hell? Be my guest.

While I eat most figs fresh off the tree, occasionally we'll cook some. Here is an easy stuffed fig recipe, worth trying for a tasty appetizer. Mediterranean food at its best….in California or wherever you happen to be.
Fig season here at home is a very special season for us. We have the best green fig tree. Delicious, jammy figs – and loads of them. We also have a couple of purple fig trees too. No shortage of figs in our house.
We have to rely on guests helping us eat our figs and sadly this year, our prime fig eater couldn't make it! But we've been training up some others.
In fact, Mrs. Skunk appears particularly keen on figs! Every time I drive home in the evening, she is at the fig tree, munching away. Definitely, she is a guest that I don't want to disturb during her feast!
Many people have only ever eaten dried figs. If that is you – head out to the store or farmers market and look for some fresh ones. There is no comparison. They are little jewels, with sweet crunchy jaminess inside.
Changing the recipe
As with all my recipes, this one is very flexible. If you don't have or like Taleggio cheese, you can try other cheeses in there instead. Maybe a blue cheese like gorgonzola? You can switch out the walnuts and thyme for other variations too. Maybe pecans and rosemary? See what combination you like the best.
Figs are flowers
Did you know that figs are actually inverted flowers? The fig flesh is made from matured flowers which bloom inside the skin. If you get one that isn't quite ripe, you can actually see the inside is more flower-like.
Storing figs
If you buy fresh figs, they are quite perishable. I like to separate them, using an old egg box with a fig in each egg area. They seem to last longer that way, without touching each other.
Get eating figs before their season is over…..


text: Hello everyone, I just logged onto this site early today, read a lot of pages about the Zelda hack & homebrew and i was hoping for some help with the homebrew. I have a NTSC Wii modded and I managed to download the Zelda hack I did get Zelda hack to work I have a few WAD channels that worked on my Wii, well the homebrew channel isn't making too much sense to me. I can't seem to figure out how to get channels to work on it. I did download the Wad-installer and renamed it boot.elf and put it on the root of the Sd card, but it didn't download any of the WAD channels (Ocarina & Geckos)? This is what I have on my SD card.. Private folder, boot.elf, Snes9x, VBA ,WAD, N64 ROMS, Scumm vm, Apps that has inside (gc-linux, region free, scumm vm, tetris) 1) Does the Tetris work with only the Gamecube controller, I couldn't get it to work with the Wii remote, or classic? 2) I got Wii64, I put all the n64 ROMS .v64 in the N64 folder is this correct? but all the games run slow in it, is that normal because it's new or something?? 3) I want to install Ocarina & Gecko's through the homebrew channel, what files do I put on the SD card, or in what folder? I tried putting them in the WAD folder (because they are WAD files) but I couldn't get them to work through homebrew, but I did get them onto my Wii as a WAD channel through the Zelda hack. 5) If I have a modded chip would I still need that region free channel on the apps folder? 6) What is the difference between the gc-Linux and the Gcos ? Any and all help would be so great... thanks in advance!!! BumbleBee

The Government of Canada supports the project of Corporation de developpement economique de Matapedia-Les Plateaux
MATAPEDIA, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 15, 2016) - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
The Route des Belvédères is a major tourism project for the Matapédia-Les Plateaux region. It is expected to attract and retain a large amount of tourists, generate significant economic benefits for local businesses and create around 100 jobs for the middle class.
Acting on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED, Rémi Massé, Member of Parliament for Avignon-La Mitis-Matane-Matapédia, announced that Corporation de développement économique Matapédia-Les Plateaux (CDE-MLP) has been granted $972,000 in financial assistance to implement the Route des Belvédères.
The project was developed by the CDE-MLP, in collaboration with the area's municipalities, with the goal to expand and enhance the organization's capital activities in order to start building the lookouts on the Route des Belvédères. Tourists will enjoy the panoramic vistas overlooking the Matapédia and Restigouche rivers from the lookouts, which will be designed to be seen from a distance, day and night.
The non-repayable contribution was granted under CED's Quebec Economic Development Program (QEDP). The contribution will be used specifically to manage, build and set up two lookouts, one in Matapédia, the Deux-Rivières (Interceptor) lookout; and one in St-André-de-Restigouche, the Cœur des Plateaux lookout.
"We are proud to have worked with key local and regional economic development partners on this unique major concept. The Route des Belvédères, along with the other existing tourist attractions, will expand our region's influence beyond Quebec's borders."
- Rémi Massé, MP for Avignon-La Mitis-Matane-Matapédia
"Tourism provides an excellent opportunity for economic growth in Canada. The Government of Canada is proud to support innovative, collaborative development projects, such as the Route des Belvédères, which is certain to generate major economic and media spinoff for Gaspésie, Quebec and Canada."
- The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister responsible for CED
CED is one of six regional development agencies under the responsibility of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

Throughout AUGUST 2018
People are hard-wired to find the truth. Something as trivial as remembering an actor's name to something as meaningful as solving a crime can send us into a pursuit for truth that does not end until there are answers.
In his book Cold-Case Christianity, Jim Wallace takes on the biggest case of all. Jim Wallace is a former atheist and L.A. County homicide detective and applies his abilities to solve "cold-cases" to the death and resurrection of Jesus. By mixing his nationally renowned detective skills with gripping stories and examples, Wallace masterfully presents the evidence for Jesus in a way that disarms even the most ardent skeptic.
Cold-Case Christianity is our gift to you when you support the Bridging the Gap radio ministry with a gift of any amount throughout August 2018. Your gifts bring the Word of God, through radio, to people throughout the nation, and as a result, believers are growing into faithful followers of Jesus. Join us on this journey of faith throughout August!

Patience is essential in wildlife photography. Sometimes you are rewarded with an image that makes either the cold fingers of winter or the pesky insects of summer all seem well worth it. After the cold finally won out after sitting for a few hours at 20 degrees I gave up. Heading for my home with an empty memory card in my camera and only a half mile from my house this Red-tailed hawk sat perched right next to the road. Pulled over, got out, took about 15 images and it was all over in less than a minute. Sometimes it's just as good to be lucky!

Most online businesses live or die on their search engine rankings. Getting listed in search engines is easy, almost automatic. Showing up on that first page of results is difficult. Your Website will be ranked according to dozens of factors; here are a few to keep in mind.
Content is King
Make sure that the terms your intended audience is likely to use to find you appear on your site. Furthermore, those keywords must be in text and not contained in images. Search engine spiders can't read graphical images.
Provide your reader with meaningful information. Search engines will take notice.
No Keyword Stuffing
Search engines know when you are including words just for the sake of a search engine. Such stuffing will reduce your ranking.
Search engines will reduce your ranking for stale content. Revise your copy or add new content often.
Site Longevity
The earlier you obtain a domain name, the better. Search engines know when you registered your domain name and grade you accordingly.
Unique Page Titles
Use descriptive and unique titles for every page on your site. Make sure that the name of the site also appears in the title.
Paragraph Headings
Provide clear navigation and help the search engines categorize your site. Use hierarchical headings often. That helps your users too. People don't read Websites; they scan them.
Consolidate Site Addresses
Point all your Website addresses to one domain name. Don't dilute your ranking. For example, redirect http://mysite.com/ to http://www.mysite.com/.
Avoid Linking Schemes
Don't associate with link spammers. The link farms will drag you down.
Avoid Comma-Separated Keywords
Search engines watch for long strings of terms separated by commas. Fold your site's keywords into natural text. Address your human readers with appealing text. The search engines will notice.

Oh the black blazer. I first fell in love with this design when Camilla and Marc released a slightly different version a couple of years ago called The Moonshadow Blazer. I lusted after that blazer for so long, and the moment I decided to take the plunge.. it sold out. So when they re-released the design (with a slight difference) I was all in. I hung that baby up on display in my room for about a month before I took it out for a spin. The tailoring and embellishments on this beauty make itperfect for me to wear to work and also to play - an absolute wardrobe essential.
I've been trying really hard recently to make smart purchases, buying pieces that accentuate your wardrobe and make it easier for you to get dressed in the morning and feel confident in knowing your style. Carefully curating wardrobe requires a lot of patience and savvy shopping when faced with 100s of gorgeous new things coming into the market every damn day. If you're anything like me you have to physically restrain yourself from just buying everything you love. To make sure that I'm being smart with my purchases I have to ask myself a few questions, and if the answer is an 100% yes then that baby is mine.
Will this work with the rest of my wardrobe?
Its so important to think about whether or not this piece is going to work with what you already have. As a rule of thumb, if you can't think of 5 different ways you can wear it, then its not a wise choice. When you have a carefully put together wardrobe it makes it easy for you to mix and match a huge number of stylish outfits that you know you feel comfortable in, instead of having a wardrobe full of clothes that you never wear.
What occasions can I wear this?
Things like this jacket, for example, is exactly what I'm talking about, I know I can wear it to work and then out for drinks with the girls. I find that with this kind of shopping, when you're buying good quality clothes it often comes with a sightly higher price tag. And when you're spending your hard earned cash, you need to make sure that you can wear it all the time. This is not to say that you can't buy something that you've got your heart set on because its special, sometimes the heart wants what it wants and you just cant resist the statement piece.
Is it good quality?
When you're spending money on something you need to know that the make and fabric are of good quality, that way you know that when it becomes part of your high rotation its going to last. It may go without saying but sticking to natural fibres like cotton, silk and wool is a good way to judge quality and longevity.
Do I really need this?
It may have already ticked all of the above boxes, but do you really need another white shirt of pair of black ankle boots?Maybe the answer is yes, and thats okay, but its always worth asking yourself the question so that you don't go too out of control and end up with a bunch of expensive items sitting at the bottom of your wardrobe collecting dust.

At Wolcott High School one morning this week, an urgent announcement crackled over the intercom: a threatening intruder was in the building and students were told to immediately take refuge in classrooms.
Doors were locked and police, with dogs, moved in. Students stayed huddled in classrooms where they were told to stay away from the windows.
