In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Women in the Religion of Islam (Submission)
Most Muslims speak with pride in pointing out that women received certain rights at the time the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad.
Just over a hundred years ago, in England, in 1850, women were finally allowed the right to own property. In 1857, divorce became accessible by the formation of the court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. Muslim women have had these rights for fourteen hundred years.
However, in practical terms, in today's Islamic world, the majority of women are treated by men as second class citizens. As mentioned in a previous article, such a status for women is not attributable to the laws in the Quran but to religious laws other than the Quran. This is in spite of the fact, that the Quran came to us through Prophet Mohammad's mouth and that God informs us in the Quran, that it is complete, perfect, fully detailed and the only source of religious law for the submitters (Muslims). An attempt will be made in this article to give some examples, inshallah, to display the great disparity between what the Quran advocates versus accepted practices, which have given women the low status in Muslim countries.
[3:195] Their Lord responded to them: 'I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female - you are equal to one another. Thus, those who immigrate, and get evicted from their homes, and are persecuted because of Me, and fight and get killed, I will surely remit their sins and admit them into gardens with flowing streams.' Such is the reward from God. God possesses the ultimate reward.
[9:71] The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness and forbid evil, they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they obey God and His messenger. These will be showered by God's mercy. God is Almighty, Most Wise.
[9:72] God promises the believing men and the believing women gardens with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever, and magnificent mansions in the gardens of Eden. And God's blessings and approval are even greater. This is the greatest triumph.
[33:35] The submitting men, the submitting women, the believing men, the believing women, the obedient men, the obedient women, the truthful men, the truthful women, the steadfast men, the steadfast women, the reverent men, the reverent women, the charitable men, the charitable women, the fasting men, the fasting women, the chaste men, the chaste women, and the men who commemorate God frequently, and the commemorating women; God has prepared for them forgiveness and a great recompense.
RELIGIOUS LAWS NEVER AUTHORIZED BY God
The Quran prohibits even Prophet Mohammad from issuing any religious teachings other than the Quran or explaining the Quran in verses 69:43-47 and 75:16-19. The religious scholars, however, in defiance of the Quran have created religious laws never authorized by God.
The following verse deals specifically and only with sexual intercourse during menstruation. However, most women through teachings of the scholars abstain from their daily religious practices (fasting, salat) during menstruation. "They ask you about menstruation: say, 'It is harmful; you shall avoid sexual intercourse with the women during menstruation; do not approach them until they are rid of it. Once they are rid of it, you may have intercourse with them in the manner designed by God. God loves the repenters, and He loves those who are clean.'" 2:222
[33:59] O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall lengthen their garments. Thus, they will be recognized (as righteous women) and avoid being insulted. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[24:30] Tell the believing men that they shall subdue their eyes (and not stare at the women), and to maintain their chastity. This is purer for them. God is fully Cognizant of everything they do.
[24:31] And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands,.....They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to God, O you believers, that you may succeed.
The verses quoted above are the only verses in the Quran giving the dress code for women - to lengthen the garments and to cover the chest. The Muslims of today have created unreasonable dress code for women based on tradition and customs in the name of God and Islam. There is also, no mention in the Quran, that the head should be covered for men or women.
[4:3] If you deem it best FOR THE ORPHANS, you may marry their mothers - you may marry two, three, or four. If you fear lest you become unfair, then you shall be content with only one, or with what you already have. Additionally, you are thus more likely to avoid financial hardship.
[4:129] You can never be equitable in dealing with more than one wife, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, do not be so biased as to leave one of them hanging (neither enjoying marriage, nor left to marry someone else). If you correct this situation and maintain righteousness, God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Verse 4:3 makes it clear that the ONLY condition for polygamy is for the sake of orphans, while verse 4:129 discourages polygamy even for that one exception. A law which allows men to marry a second time without meeting the condition of orphans stands in violation of the Quran.
[2:282] O you who believe, when you transact a loan for any period, you shall write it down. An impartial scribe shall do the writing. No scribe shall refuse to perform this service, according to God's teachings. He shall write, while the debtor dictates the terms. He shall observe God his Lord and never cheat. If the debtor is mentally incapable, or helpless, or cannot dictate, his guardian shall dictate equitably. Two men shall serve as witnesses; if not two men, then a man and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all. Thus, if one woman becomes biased, the other will remind her. It is the obligation of the witnesses to testify when called upon to do so. Do not tire of writing the details, no matter how long, including the time of repayment. This is equitable in the sight of God, assures better witnessing, and eliminates any doubts you may have. Business transactions that you execute on the spot need not be recorded, but have them witnessed. No scribe or witness shall be harmed on account of his services. If you harm them, it would be wickedness on your part. You shall observe God, and God will teach you. God is Omniscient.
Financial transactions are the ONLY situations where two women may substitute for one man as witness. This is to guard against the real possibility that one witness may marry the other witness, and thus cause her to be biased. Unreasonable laws have been made and continue to be made abusing this verse, giving women a lower status in society.
One of the major controversial issues in Islam to those who do not know Islam is where is the woman's role in the political system. Can a woman take the leadership role? Is it prohibited?
The answer will be different if you look at the book of God, the Quran, or if you look at the book of man, the Hadiths that was written about 250 years after the Prophet's death.
When God tells us a story in he Quran, He does not do so just for entertaining us, but to learn a lesson. "We narrate to you the most accurate history through the revelation of this Quran. Before this, you were totally unaware." 12:3 "In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence......" 12:111
The role of an important woman in the history of the world as much as Muslims are concerned is the story Belquees, the Queen of Sheba. See 27:22-44. God mentioned her history in the Quran to let us know that a woman in a ruling position is not offensive as far as God is concerned. She represented a democratic ruler who consulted with her people before making important decisions, See 27:29. She visited Solomon, talked to him, made decisions for herself and her people, not hiding behind walls , or shying behind another man.
After witnessing what God gave Solomon, she became a submitter (Muslim), while still the Queen of Sheba.
[27:44] She was told, "Go inside the palace." When she saw its interior, she thought it was a pool of water, and she (pulled up her dress) exposing her legs. He said, "This interior is now paved with crystal." She said, "MY LORD, I HAVE WRONGED MY SOUL. I NOW SUBMIT WITH SOLOMON TO God, LORD OF THE UNIVERSE."
Here we witness one of the first Muslim women in charge of a nation, ruling them as a queen of Sheba. Do we learn a lesson from the Quran ? we should. The lesson is that God in the Quran never put restriction on a woman in a ruling position. These days we have two Muslim women in position of power, the Prime Minister of Pakistan and Turkey.
Belief in God mandates that we believe God. God has stated in his proven, final scripture, the Quran, that it is complete, fully detailed and the only source of religious guidance. As submitters (Muslims) we have to accept God's assertion and look to Quran and God for guidance.

- Hours/History
- Monday – Friday 7 am – 3 pm
(Off property commitments may alter hours)
East Fork Hatchery is the newest cool and warm water hatchery to be constructed in Indiana since the 1940s. The hatchery takes its name from the nearby East Fork of the White River. Construction started in February 1982 and was completed in July 1983 at a cost of $2.7 million. The hatchery construction was financed from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.
The hatchery covers about 80 acres and contains 29 earthen ponds ranging from ½ to 6 acres in size. The pond's total is 33 acres of water.
One of the unique characteristics of the East Fork Hatchery is that this facility was originally designed to be able to experiment with, and respond to, the various fish culture options that were emerging during the construction of this hatchery. Over time, pond configurations have changed here at East Fork, to meet the Indiana DNR's fish production needs. For this reason, there are various aquaculture methods used on this property, including internal and external raceway systems, as well as a variety of pond configurations.
The water supply is 1,400-acre Dogwood Lake. Water is gravity fed from depths of 7 and 30 feet to eliminate pumping costs. Water temperature is automatically controlled by valves which blend water from the two levels. The water is then screened to remove debris, aerated, and directed to either the ponds or the production building. More than 2,500 gallons per minute can be drawn from the lake. A standby generator provides power to the facility in emergency situations.
Being a State-owned facility, all fish reared at East Fork Hatchery are stocked into public waters accessible to all individuals who purchase an Indiana fishing license. People interested in purchasing fish for private ponds can contact any number of private hatcheries throughout the state.
- Monday – Friday 7 am – 3 pm
- Fish Culture
Sport fish reared at the East Fork Hatchery include walleye, hybrid walleye, striped bass, hybrid striped bass, muskellunge, channel catfish and largemouth bass. Fathead minnows are also reared for forage feeding.
With the exception of muskellunge, all fish are reared in earthen ponds. Ponds are fertilized before being stocked to ensure ample plankton (microscopic plants and animals) are available; which serve as food for small fish. Additional food is supplied by either continued pond fertilization, feeding a commercial fish feed or, in the case of muskellunge, stocking forage fish.
Muskellunge, also known as muskie, are the only fish that arrive at the hatchery as eggs. When the eggs hatch and the fry have reached their swim-up stage, the muskie are then placed in long, shallow starter troughs for care and maintenance. Feeding in the production room consists of a commercial diet; the size of which starts similar to talcum powder and advances to larger pellets as the fish grow. Feed is automatically dispensed every five minutes, 24 hours a day, to the muskellunge.
As the muskie grow, they are placed into deeper linear tanks. The fish are inventoried periodically and can be separated into other tanks to avoid overcrowding. In the fall, young muskie are placed into outside ponds to feed on fathead minnows for their final 30 days at the hatchery. This ensures that the fish will have greater success in finding natural food sources once stocked into Indiana waters.
- Production
Production Building
The production building houses egg incubation and intensive production facilities. This consists of hatching jars, vertical flow egg incubation trays and 20-foot rearing tanks. The production room is equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer, sand filter, controlled heating and lighting, and automatic fish feeders. The tanks are also used to sort and hold fish coming in from the production ponds, prior to being shipped across the state. The building also houses a laboratory, offices, a locker room, a work shop, storage space and public rest rooms.
Rearing Raceways
Both inside and outside raceways are used to rear fish from the fry stage to fingerling or larger sizes. Equipped with automatic feeders, the inside raceways afford a controlled environment for up to 70,000 muskellunge. Each spring, the outside raceways hold approximately 35,000 channel catfish fingerlings while they await pond space for grow out.
Production Ponds
The three 2-acre, sixteen 1-acre, two ¾-acre, and seven ½-acre ponds can be used to rear all fish species to stocking size. Walleye, striped bass and their respective hybrids arrive as newly hatched fry and spend 30 to 35 days in the ponds. They are stocked out at approximately 1.5 to 2-inches fingerlings. Channel catfish arrive as fingerlings and are raised in the ponds for 4 to 5 months, being stocked out in the 8 to 10-inch size range. Largemouth bass arrive as 2-inch fingerlings and are reared to 4-inch fish over a 5 month period. Muskie arrive as eggs and are reared for 7 months indoors as they progress through the fry and fingerling stages. In early fall they are stocked into the outdoor rearing ponds in the 7 to 8-inch range, for their 30-day forage finishing process. After the forage finishing, the muskie are usually stocked out in the 9 to 10-inch range.
Total production at East Fork will range between 1 million and 15 million fish annually, depending on management needs.

Editors Note: So what the hell are we doing in Tennessee…. Raising money to campaign against sitting members of the Tennessee State House and Senate.
Written by Christian Gomez
After a vote of 28-21 in the state Senate on Wednesday, March 13, Montana is moving toward being the first state in the country to approve a bill prohibiting the enforcement of a potential federal ban on semiautomatic firearms and large-capacity magazines within its borders. The bill, HB 302, also calls for criminal penalties for any employee, official, or officer of either local or state government who enforces such a measure within Montana.
"I view this bill basically as pushback to the discussion in Washington, D.C.," said state Sen. Jennifer Fielder (R-Thompson Falls). "It has come to the point where the people are saying enough is enough," Fielder told the Missoulian.
House Bill 302, the "Montana Federal Semiautomatic Firearm and Large Magazine Ban Enforcement Prohibition Act," passed the state House 56-42 on February 22. Because the original bill was amended by the Senate Judiciary Committee, both legislative chambers need to reconcile the two versions of the bill.
Once reconciled, the bill will be sent to the desk of Governor Steve Bullock, a Democrat. The governor has not taken a public position on the bill, which now awaits either his signature or veto. If Bullock signs the bill, Montana will be the first state to have officially nullified federal gun control, since the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut, last year.
On its website, the Tenth Amendment Center encourages residents of Montana to e-mail Governor Bullock or call him locally at 406-444-3111 or toll-free at 855-318-1330, to encourage him to sign HB 302.
The key portion of HB 302 reads:
A peace officer, state employee, or employee of any political subdivision is prohibited from enforcing, assisting in the enforcement of, or otherwise cooperating in the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines and is also prohibited from participating in any federal enforcement action implementing a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines.
Another portion of the bill declares that Montana may not use "public funds or allocate public resources for the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines." Violation of this section of the bill would be considered as an act theft, which is a misdemeanor under state law.
The previous day, the Montana House approved another bill 89-11, Senate Bill 145, which would require Montana concealed weapon permit information to be kept confidential. SB 145 already passed the state Senate 37-13 on January 31, 2013, and like HB 302 is also expected to go to Gov. Bullock's desk.
Montana's nullification efforts against gun control are not without historical precedent. Historian Thomas Woods has written an excellent brief history of state nullification of federal laws in his article, "The States' Rights Tradition Nobody Knows." In recent years, dozens of states have introduced nullification-type legislation to stop Real ID, affirm the Tenth Amendment, reject a federal mandate to buy healthcare insurance, and to reject federal firearm laws for guns manufactured, sold, and used intrastate (known as Firearms Freedom Acts or FFA). Not just in Montana, but all across the country, sheriffs and legislators are acting to nullify proposed federal gun controls.
The total number of states that have introduced pro-Second Amendment nullification bills in their state legislatures currently stands at 32. These states include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Of those 32 states, bills have passed at least one chamber in six states — Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Idaho, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming — and now both chambers in Montana.
This past Monday, on March 11, the Idaho House of Representatives approved 55-13 a bill prohibiting the enforcement of any ban or restriction on the ownership of a semiautomatic firearm or any magazine within the state's borders. House Bill 219, the "Idaho Federal Firearm, Magazine and Register Ban Enforcement Act," would make it a felony to confiscate the firearm or magazine of a law abiding citizen who has not committed a crime and is legally residing within the state borders of Idaho.
Idaho's HB 219 would also provide criminal penalties of up to $1,000 in fines and a year in jail to any official, agent or employee of the state of Idaho, or any of its political subdivisions, caught enforcing any such federal restriction, regulation, or confiscation of semiautomatic firearms and magazines.
With the passage of HB 302 in both chambers of the Montana state legislature, Montana is the closest state in the country to making history. If Gov. Bullock signs the bill, Montana will be sending a clear and loud message to Washington that any violation or infringement of the people's Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms will not be tolerated in the Big Sky Country.

Re: ChessCube Update: A message from the CEO
The same as previous users, I feel morally obliged to state that your reasoning is flawed.
The most flawed is the playchess free. No, it is not free. You are given a trial. A month and if I am wrong, correct me.
Even during the trial, we cannot chat with other players and send message.
I have seen many free chess sites or the free features are not good and not improving such as chessjam. Experiencing chess there is so horrible, except the social things. Hi there hi here. Some chats, become friends, group, etc. However, it is fue to the small user base that we know each other too well. It is even plagued with engines accusation.
Here in CC, I feel better, safer. The interface is slick and bright. The movement is smooth, especially without animation.
Even the default sound of taking pieces is enjoyable.
What CC lacks is mobile apps.
People play chess in their free time. Most of them is spent on the road.
Those who can purchase the mobile phones required to play the app is more than qualified and willing to pay. Thats why one of CC's competitor has it on Iphone and Ipad. It would be better in new Windows phone 7 using silverlight since CC can leverage its ability to give users the same experince mobile and desktop. Android gives more exposure to different classes of people.
What I haven't seen from paying chess sites is the PDF literatures. I would like to see it here. CC can have special different watermark for different books commissioned to different people.
And why not the best games list to be seen and downloaded ? From what I have seen the best games are for 2000+ rated players only. I would be good if there is segmentation (range) so users can associate with those closer.
Final verdict : CC is on the right direction. When I first felt it today, I know CC is set to brighter future. It does not stop improving.

DENVER � With his team having given up four runs over the first three innings, West Lincoln senior Cameron High didn�t panic. What he did after that was nothing short of dominant.
High faced the minimum over the final 4 1/3 innings, helping the Rebels claim an 8-4 victory at East Lincoln�s The Corral on Tuesday for first place in the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference.
�I knew the whole time I was hitting my spots and they were just kind of pecking at me at the beginning, but I felt good the entire time,� High said. �Once I started going, I was good from there on out.�
The 6-foot-3 right-hander struck out 13 while walking three and giving up five hits as the three-time all-conference selection improved to 5-0 for the season. A pair of errors played a hand in all four of the runs High surrendered: three runs in the first and one in the third.
After a third-inning walk, High faced the minimum 13 batters the rest of the way, striking out eight of them including three straight in the fifth inning.
�He got his pitch count a little higher than we wanted, but his velocity was good, his command was good,� West Lincoln coach Allan Chapman said. �He did what a four-year starter is supposed to do. He went out there and kept us in the game long enough to help us be successful.�
High benefited from an early explosion of offense as West Lincoln cranked out three runs on three hits in the top of the first. The Rebels wound up with 12 hits, led by Derrick Braun�s three singles and an RBI. Cody Dellinger added a double, single and three RBIs while Brett Huff, Dalton Towery and Chandler Jenkins had two singles each.
The win put West Lincoln (9-2, 6-0) in sole possession of first place in the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference and dropped East Lincoln (8-3, 5-1) into second place.
�Obviously it�s what we want, but I guess in the big picture it just means we�re one game ahead,� Chapman said. �We�ve still got to be able to finish off everybody else and be able to put ourselves in position that when we come back around again it�ll mean something.�
That next meeting is scheduled for April 26 at West Lincoln. The Rebels are trying to win a league title for the second time in three years and third time in six years while East Lincoln is looking for a third straight title. East Lincoln had a 22-game conference winning streak snapped.
East Lincoln committed two errors and had a hard time generating offense against High after the first inning.
�Defensively, I just thought we were sloppy,� East Lincoln coach Chris Matile said. �We had a lot more errors than what showed up there (on the scoreboard). Just not moving our feet very well.�
East Lincoln starter Darin Salter lasted one batter into the fourth inning and took the loss after surrendering six runs on seven hits. The senior right-hander struck out three and walked one. Salter earlier in the season pitched a five-inning perfect game against North Lincoln.
Clay Hodges recorded a pair of singles as the only East Lincoln batter with multiple hits. Cory Petersen and Nick Savoie each drove in a run for the Mustangs.
After West Lincoln scored three runs on three hits in the opening inning, East Lincoln answered with three runs of its own in the bottom of the first. West Lincoln kept it going, though, with a pair of runs in the third and three more in the fourth for an 8-4 lead that held the rest of the way.
East Lincoln played without a college signee in senior pitcher/first baseman Addision Parrish, who sat out after injuring his shoulder sliding in Friday�s game against Bessemer City. Parrish, who normally bats fourth in the order, has signed with Western Carolina.
West Lincoln has a home non-conference game against Ashbrook on Thursday before resuming conference action Friday at home against Lake Norman Charter. East Lincoln visits Cherryville for a conference game Thursday. East Lincoln and West Lincoln will then both compete in the Shelby Invitational Easter Tournament next week.

Reddit user Nizidramaniiyt's wife asked him for a manual, but found out she was too short to work the pedals. That's when he devised this "fix" to mount wooden blocks in the pedals themselves.
Wooden blocks are cranked down by screws on "beef[y] metal backing plates" adding about three-quarters of an inch to their reach.
While the system is legal since the driver's state has no inspections, Jalopnik's Official Mechanical Consult described the system as "kinda ghetto."
The more traditional solution is to tape wooden blocks to your own shoes, but that makes walking around after exiting the vehicle difficult.
This blocks-in-the-pedals hack doesn't look extraordinarily safe, and we doubt the Missus would be happy if the block on the brake pedal slipped out (this hasn't happened in a year!) while she was on the highway.

C'est Simple: Easy Ways to Make a French Seam
If the stitching on your favorite skirt is unraveling, learning how to sew a French seam may be just the ticket to solve your fashion dilemma. French seams may be considered the piece de resistance, or the ultimate finish, in tailoring.
What is a French seam?
In sewing projects, a French seam is one in which the seam allowances are tucked under and stitched in place, either alongside a garment's seaming or in the seam itself. French seaming adds a significant level of professionalism to any sewing project.
Top of the line
Fancy computerized sewing machines usually offer automatic French-seaming capabilities. Most often, a special pressure foot is attached, replacing the standard one. This high-tech pressure foot actually rolls the fabric edges under while you sew, producing a French seam in one pass through the machine.
Basic sewing machines may not perform French seaming automatically, but it is not hard to master. All you need is a simple straight stitch and steam iron.
Inverted French seam
To produce an inverted French seam the old-fashioned way, you will begin by stitching your two fabric pieces with their wrong (backing) sides together. Straight-stitch them close to the fabric edges rather than making the usual 5/8-inch seam allowance.
After finishing the first seam, you will press this seam open with your steam iron. Then fold the two fabric pieces back together, hiding the seam you just created. Your fabric pieces will now have their right (fancy outer) sides together.
Straight-stitch your seam again, hiding your original seam and the fabric edges within the hidden channel your new seam will create. After stitching, press your seam flat.
Voila! A perfect French seam, with all the fabric edges neatly tucked inside!
Poor man's French seam
Beginners who are learning how to sew may wish to try an easier method. The poor man's French seam offers this solution.
Following sewing pattern instructions, you simply straight-stitch your seam, attaching your fabric pieces together, with right (fancy outer) sides facing.
Press the seam open with a steam iron. Then press each side of your seam allowance under. Stitch each seam allowance to itself and press it again. Your two finished seam allowances should sit neatly and flatly next to your seam.
Other ways to finish edges
It's not necessary to use French seaming, of course. Other options for finishing your fabric edges include attaching seam binding or folded bias tape over your edges for a nice touch. Of course, serging edges is perfectly acceptable. Most off-the-rack garments have inner serging.
In a pinch, zigzag stitching or even pinking shears may prevent edges from fraying, at least for your own clothes. However, for sewing projects you are planning to give as a gift or to enter in a sewing contest, truly finished edges are essential.

All Primal jerseys are designed by cyclists for cyclists with graphics that resonate on or off the road, and the incredibly eye-catching Primal Kismet cycling jersey design is one of the most distinctively beautiful of all! Not least when team up with other members of the Kismet range.
The SpeedPro fabric has been chosen to wick and disperse moisture from the surface of the skin causing it to evaporate and lowering your overall body temperature. This moisture management system makes the garment more comfortable and allows you to perform at your peak. The full length YKK zip is designed to be 'invisible' and unfailingly reliable, and the 3 back pockets are positioned to reflect many years of racing experience.
The cut of the Prima Kismet cycling jersey is 100% female, with the waistband deliberately left elastic-free to avoid digging in or riding up over broader hips. It's the perfect jersey for club rides, long tours, mountain biking or commuting and it's bound to get you envious looks on and off the bike.
Size Guide
Primal's range of Sport Cut jersey's feature a slightly relaxed fit that lies close to the body's natural lines without being too constructive. A raglan sleeve extends from the arm cuff and is sewn at the collar. There is no elastic in either the sleeves or waistband, to make it that much more comfortable.

Who's Behind It?
Primal was founded in 1992 by 'real' cyclists. It's an ethos they maintain today: every employee must be a passionate and positive cyclist - but not necessarily a hugely talented one! Their primary aim is to create clothes for cyclists that not only work perfectly, but also look unique, beautiful and full of character.
Their design department is famous in the cycling world, constantly creating ambitious new looks but never allowing style to overwhelm substance. Whilst they are amongst the biggest cycling clothing companies in the world, they stand out by remaining human, approachable and flexible. They go out of their way to avoid becoming a corporate behemoth focused on 'peddling not pedalling'. It's a great approach.
Their Global Headquarters is in Denver, Colorado (lucky them!), but they have been growing within Europe for several years now, and their UK team is fully focused on what is a new market for them. We are hoping to grow with them.

Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes led the way on Monday with $4.21 million. The critically acclaimed 3D sci-fi action sequel has now led the daily box office for ten of the past eleven days. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was down 62 percent from Sunday and down a respectable 49 percent from last Monday. The eleven-day total for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes stands at $143.41 million. That is ahead of pre-release expectations and places the film an impressive 32 percent ahead of the $108.76 million eleven-day take of 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Universal's The Purge: Anarchy claimed second place with $3.32 million. The sequel to last year's break-out horror film was down a healthy 54 percent from Sunday. In comparison, The Purge fell 51.5 percent on its first Monday to gross $3.31 million. With a very solid four-day start of $33.14 million, The Purge: Anarchy is running 11 percent behind the $37.37 million four-day start of The Purge. However, daily holds for The Purge: Anarchy thus far suggests that the film will hold up a bit better than The Purge did.
Planes: Fire and Rescue claimed third with $1.86 million. The modestly budgeted computer animated sequel from Disney fell 59 percent from Sunday. Planes: Fire and Rescue has grossed $19.37 million through four days. That is a bit below expectations and 22 percent behind the $24.72 million four-day take of last year's Planes (which fell 58 percent on its first Monday to gross $2.49 million). Planes: Fire and Rescue will hope to hold up well going forward due in part to the limited amount of options for family audiences throughout the rest of the summer.
Sony's Sex Tape placed in fourth with $1.55 million. The comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel was down 58 percent from Sunday, which isn't the greatest daily hold for an R-rated comedy on its first Monday. Sex Tape has grossed a significantly poorer than expected $16.16 million through four days of release. That places the film a very disappointing 55 percent behind the $35.61 million four-day start of 2011's Bad Teacher.
Transformers: Age of Extinction rounded out Monday's top five with $1.17 million. The fourth installment of Paramount's sci-fi action franchise was down 60 percent from Sunday and down 42 percent from last Monday. Transformers: Age of Extinction has grossed $228.17 million through 25 days. That currently ranks the film as the fifth highest grossing release of 2014 thus far domestically and before long the film will surpass Maleficent and X-Men: Days of Future Past to move into third place.

Pantera were an American Metal band founded in 1981 by the brothers Vinnie Paul Abbott and Darrel Lance Abbott in Fort Worth, Texas. With Vinnie on the drums , his brother Dimebag Darell on guitar, bassist Rex Brown and their Singer Phil Anselmo, Pantera reinvented Heavy Metal and shaped the face of todays Extreme Metal. The Band split up in 2003 because the Abbott brothers and Phil Anselmo could not get along with each other anymore.
The Early Years: Glam Metal
Most people think of Pantera as a post-thrash Metal band and that Cowboys from Hell was their first record. The truth is that Pantera released several Albums before this one and they played a totally different Music: 80's Glam/Hair Metal.
In 1983,84 and 86 Pantera released the records Metal Magic, Projects In The Jungle and I Am The Night without the support of a record company. The Albums were recorded in the Country-studio of Vinnie and Darrels father.
The band wore spndex pants, had fluffy hair and sounded like a mixture of KISS and Poison. Until 1987 Pantera switched their singer three times until their last singer became Phil Anselmo. With this final lineup they recorded a fourth selfproduced album called Power Metal. Their sound evolved with Iron Maiden Influences and harder vocals but it was still lightyears away from what would follow.
No More Spandex:Cowboys From Hell
In 1989 the band got a Major-Label deal and they decided to change their style from the ground up, in music and clothing. They abandoned their fancy pants and haircuts and entered the stage with casual clothing; Darrel changed his nickname Diamond into Dimebag Darrel. The Band changed their style into an extreme and fast Heavy Metal, inspired by the 80's thrash metal bands. With their Majorlabel debut Cowboys from Hell Pantera released the blueprint for todays extreme Metal and invented the genre of Groove Metal.
Pantera's Major label debut is the hardest heavy Metal record in 1989. Dimebag Darrels cutting Riffs accompanied by a pounding bass guitar and Doublebass drums saved heavy Music in a time when Heavy Metal was in a Coma. The album features brutal fast tracks aswell as slow ballads, toped by Phil Anselmos unique vocals.

In Your Face:Vulgar Display Of Power
With 1990's Vulgar Display Of Power, Pantera released one of the most influential Metal records of all time. They managed to release and even heavier record than their Major Label debut Cowboys from Hell, with an harder edged vocal style that did not use high screams anymore. The record was released in the time when Grunge was big and Metal was almost dead and yet it jumped into the top 50# of the billboard charts, stating that Metal was just waiting for it's time to strike back. Blending eerie, surging grooves influenced by Black Sabbath with thrashy speed metal riffs, Pantera created a bleak, oppressive disc that captured both ends of the speed spectrum without resorting to cliché, abrupt tempo shifts. Listening Tipps: Every Track on this century record! Especially Mouth For War, This Love and Fucking Hostile.
1. Mouth For War
2. New Level
3. Walk
4. Fucking Hostile
5. This Love
6. Rise
7. No Good(Attack The Radical)
8. Live In A Hole
9. Regular People(Conceit)
10. By Demons Be Driven
11. Hollow
Brutality on Billboard #1:Far Beyond Driven
As Pantera became more and more known within the Heavy music world and toured their first headlining worldtour, the band released their third majorlabel record.
Far Beyond Driven took Pantera's music to an even heavier and more extreme style than on previous releases. Much of the shift was due to Dimebag Darrell's more down-tuned and up-tempo playing styles. Anselmo's lyrics of shed some light on his personal life. Although this record was even harder than the first two records it is most extreme albums ever to debut at #1!!! Listening Tipps: 5 Minutes Alone, I'm Broken and the Sabbath Cover Planet Caravan.
1. Strength Beyond Strength
2. Becoming
3. 5 Minutes Alone
4. I'm Broken
5. Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills
6. Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks

9. Shedding Skin
10. Use My Thurd Arm
11. Throes Of Rejection
12. Planet Caravan(Sabbath Cover)
13. The Badge (Bonus Track)
Band Tensions:The Great Southern Trendkill
Pantera's 1996 album The Great Southern Trendkill is an even harder and uncommercial than Far Beyond Driven. Pantera was pushed by their Record Company to follow the Trend of Rap Metal but the Band refused to do so and delivered their hardest record so far. The tempo was increased, the vocals were hate-filled and Phil screamed more than he sang. The album contains all the great Pantera trademarks but unfortunately the band pursued the maximum of heaviness and lost the melody of former records.
Listening tip: Floods, a slow, sad and psychadelic song with one of the greatest Solos of all time.
1. The Great Southern Trendkill
2. War Nerve
3. Drag The Waters
4. 10's
5. 13 Steps To Nowhere
6. Suicide Note Part.1
7. Suicide Note Part.2
8. Living Through Me
9. Floods
10. The Underground In America
11. (Reprise) Sandblasted Skin
As Pantera were at the height of their fame in the mid-90s, Anselmo began to behave erratically and distance himself from his band mates on Far Beyond Driven Tour in 1995. Anselmo later cited a chronic back injury as the cause of his erratic behavior and isolation from his band mates. As his pain continued to worsen, Anselmo began using heroin to alleviate his problem, while at the same time continuing to isolate himself from his band mates. The distancing became so great that when the band recorded their 1996 album The Great Southern Trendkill, Anselmo cut his vocal tracks separate from the rest of the band in New Orleans while the rest of the Band layed down the Tracks in Dallas.
Welcome Back To Life, You Overdosed On Heroin
On July 13, 1996, Anselmo broke down after a show. He was found lying on his back in the backstage area, his face turning blue and an empty syringe lying besides him. The paramedics were called immediatly and carried Phil into an Ambulance where they injected him a shot of adrenaline directly into his heart. He jumped up immeddiatley and vomited. A nurse told him: Welcome back to Life, you overdose on Heroin. Anselmo had been dead for over 4 minutes until the medics could ressurrect him. He promised his band members that he will stop using drugs after this near-death experience but he did not stand to his promise.
The End Of Pantera:Reinventing The Steel
After four years of absence from their last studio album the band returned with their fifth album Reinventing the Steel. Pantera's aggression is confirmed by the full-throttle rhythms, throat-ripping vocals, and crunchy guitars. The album picked it up what they started with The Great Southern Trendkill and took it even further into pure hardcore-heaviness. Listening Tipps: Goddamn Electric feat. Kerry King and Revolution Is My Name.
1. Hellbound
2. Goddamn Electric
3. Yesterday Don't Mean Shit
4. You've Gotta Belong To It
5. Revolution Is My Name
6. Death Rattle
7. We'll Grind That Axe For A Long Time
8. Uplift
9. It Makes Them Disappear
10. I'll Cast A Shadow
The band's world tour for Reinventing the steel was interrupted by the September 11, 2001 attacks and the band decided to take a years break from making music. The Abbott brothers were embarrassed Anselmos stage acting because phil, numbed by drugs and medications, kept missing vocal lines and even fell of stage. Phil promised that everything would change within this one year break. But Phil did not take a break, he recorded new Albums with his Bands Down and Superjoint Ritual, kept on touring with these bands. After three years of absence from Pantera, the Abbott brothers recognized that Phil would not return and they officially broke up Pantera in 2003.
On-Stage Murder
On December 8, 2004, while performing with his new band Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, Abbott was shot and killed onstage by former U.S. Marine Nathan Gale. Nathan entered the stage of the small club, trying to kill the Abbott brothers. Dimebag Darrell Abbott was shot 3 times in the head with a handgun, the third time at point blank range, killing him instantly. He was 38 years old.Three others were killed in the shooting, the murderer was shot shortly after the assault by a Police officer. The official statement said that Nathan Gale was psychologicaly weak and could not accept the fact that his favourite Band Pantera had split up and sought revenge by killing the founders of Pantera: Dime and Vinnie.
Side Projects
Over the years every member of Pantera took part in side projects like guest appearances or other band projects. Vocalist Phil Anselmo was most productive besides his main Band Pantera. He played the guitar for the Black Metal Bands Eibon and Necrophagia. He formed two new side Projects where he took part of the vocalist again, accompanied by Rex Brown on the Bass guitar: Southern/Doom Metal Band Down and the Hardcore Band Superjoint Ritual. They released several Albums with both bands and are still active with Down on the present Day. Phil was also a guest singer on records of Anal Cunt, Crowbar, Soilent Green und Vision of Disorder. Bassist Rex Brown played with Down and Superjoint Ritual and added Basslines to a song from Cavalera Conspiracy. Dimebag Darrell released a few solo tracks, had a guest appearance on the Anthrax record We've come for you all and formed the Band Damageplan with his Brother Vinnie Paul on the drums after the split of Pantera. Rex, Vinnie and Dimebag recorded the Album Rebell Meets Rebell, a country/Metal project with country Legend David Allen Cole. Four Years after his brothers' death, Vinnie Paul started to make music again as the drummer of the Supergroup Hellyeah.
Dimebag Darrel Lance Abbott
This is just a brief description of Dimebag Darrel as I have already written a whole article about him earlier this year. Darrel Lance Abbott was born on August 20, 1966, Arlington, Texas – died on December 8, 2004, Columbus, Ohio. He was shot on-stage while performing with his Band Damageplan.
Darrels main influences were Eddie Van Halen and Kiss and they made him pick up the guitar at the age of 13. He is famous for playing Dean ML style Guitars and has several signature series. His playing featured razor sharp, alternate picked riffs with lightning fast solos. He is the inventor of the modern scooped Metal guitar sound, with cut-out mids and a huge amount of gain.
Vinnie Paul Abbott
Vincent Paul "Vinnie Paul" Abbott was born on March 11, 1964 in Dallas, Texas. Vinnie Paul is the son of Jerry Abbott, a country music songwriter and producer. His professional musical relationship with his brother often earned them comparisons to hard rock musicians Eddie and Alex Van Halen. His biggest influence is Peter Criss of KISS. Vinnie Paul also incorporates elements of progressive rock and swing into his drumming. Vinnie Paul plays on a Pearl MRX Masters Series Drumkitt and is known for a very tight and groovy playing with a unique and heavy sound.
Rex Brown
Rex Robert Brown was born on the 27Th of July in Graham, Texas. Rex is a Metal bassist but he started of as a Jazz bassist during Highschool. He plays diffrent brands of bass guitars, mostly 4 string basses which he hangs below his waist. He is playing with a pick and is famous for his grooving but simple playing style.Rex was notable for often contributing walking basslines underneath Darrell's guitar solos. He has a signature Spector bass modelled after a Gibson Thunderbird.
Phillip Hansen Anselmo
Phil was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on june 30, 1968. Phil is six foot tall, muscular, weighs a 190lbs and is heavily tattooed. There is not much information about his childhood. What is known is that Anselmo grew up in the inner city of New Orleans to an abusive alcoholic father who operated several bars in the area. Phil played in several bands as a teenager, the most notable of which being Razor White. He was an avid hardcore punk, metal, and thrash fan. With no education or family Anselmo committed his life to music. His vocals are clean but very ruff. He has an extremely low speaking voice but is able to do Judas Priest like high screams as well as deep growling. Anselmo has a chronic back injury that needed a major surgery and years of recovery. Anselmo refused to take a long brake from performing life and used medications and drugs to dull him from the pain and keep him on stage. His violent stage acting and headbanging only worsend his pain. In 2005 he finally had the successfull operation and can now perform without medications.

1. The Crooked House (Sopot, Poland)
Construction of the building started in in January 2003 and in December 2003 it was finished. House architecture is based on Jan Marcin Szancer (famous Polish drawer and child books illustrator) and Per Dahlberg (Swedish painter living in Sopot) pictures and paintings.
2. Forest Spiral – Hundertwasser Building (Darmstadt, Germany)
The Hundertwasser house "Waldspirale" ("Forest Spiral") was built in Darmstadt between 1998 and 2000. Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the famous Austrian architect and painter, is widely renowned for his revolutionary, colourful architectural designs which incorporate irregular, organic forms, e.g. onion-shaped domes.
The structure with 105 apartments wraps around a landscaped courtyard with a running stream. Up in the turret at the southeast corner, there is a restaurant, including a cocktail bar.
3. The Torre Galatea Figueras (Spain)
4. Ferdinand Cheval Palace a.k.a Ideal Palace (France)
5. The Basket Building (Ohio, United States)
The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark, Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world. The 180,000-square-foot building, a replica of the company's famous market basket, cost $30 million and took two years to complete. Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to alter his plans, but he wanted an exact replica of the real thing.
6. Kansas City Public Library (Missouri, United States)
This project, located in the heart of Kansas City, represents one of the pioneer projects behind the revitalization of downtown.
The people of Kansas City were asked to help pick highly influential books that represent Kansas City. Those titles were included as 'bookbindings' in the innovative design of the parking garage exterior, to inspire people to utilize the downtown Central Library.
7. Wonderworks (Pigeon Forge, TN, United States)
8. Habitat 67 (Montreal, Canada)
Expo 67, one of the world's largest universal expositions was held in Montreal. Housing was one of the main themes of Expo 67.
The cube is the base, the mean and the finality of Habitat 67. In its material sense, the cube is a symbol of stability. As for its mystic meaning, the cube is symbol of wisdom, truth, moral perfection, at the origin itself of our civilization.
354 cubes of a magnificent grey-beige build up one on the other to form 146 residences nestled between sky and earth, between city and river, between greenery and light.
9. Cubic Houses (Rotterdam, Netherlands)
The original idea of these cubic houses came about in the 1970s. Piet Blom has developed a couple of these cubic houses that were built in Helmond.
The city of Rotterdam asked him to design housing on top of a pedestrian bridge and he decided to use the cubic houses idea. The concept behind these houses is that he tries to create a forest by each cube representing an abstract tree; therefore the whole village becomes a forest.
10. Hang Nga Guesthouse a.k.a Crazy House (Vietnam)
The house is owned by the daughter of the ex-president of Vietnam, who studied architecture in Moscow.
It does not comply with any convention about house building, has unexpected twists and turns, roofs and rooms. It looks like a fairy tale castle, it has enormous "animals" like a giraffe and a spider, no window is rectangular or round, and it can be visited like a museum.

Cherry Woods
Cherry is a hard and heavy wood that is easy to machine, nail and glue when sanded and stained. The natural wood color of cherry varies from a rich red to reddish brown color depending on the the age of the tree and exposure to light. It is a lower yielding wood as it dries farily quickly with moderately high shrinkage. However it is a dimensionally stable wood after kiln-drying which makes it an excellent choice when it comes to building material. Cherry wood offers good bending properties and has a low stiffness with good strength and shock resistance. Cherry is used in furniture, cabinet making, millwork, musical instruments, flooring and boat interiors.
Maple Woods
Maple is a hard and heavy wood that offers good strength especially in its high resistance to abrasion and wear. Has good steam bending properties. Cut maple dries slowly with a high amount of shrinkage which leads to smaller yields of lumber per tree than the average tree. Pre-boring is recommended when nailing and screwing maple wood. Machines and turns well and can be stained. Maple has a close, fine, uniform texture and is generally straight-grained. Maple is used in furniture, flooring, ballroom and gymnasium floors, stairs, cabinets and doors.
Oak Woods
Oak is a hard and heavy wood with medium bending strength and has a high crushing strength. A good wood for steam bending. High resistance to wear. Oak represents almost 37% of total American hardwoods commercially used. Cut oak dries very slowly. Oak does machine quite well and can be nailed and screwed although because of its hardness may require pre-boring due to the hardness of the wood. Can be stained in a wide range of finishes. The wood is primarily straight grained with a coarse texture. Oak is used in furniture, flooring, millwork, paneling and cabinets.
Walnut Wood
Walnut is a tough hardwood with medium density. It offers good steam bending properties. Walnut works easily with the use of hand tools and machine tools. It nails, screws and glues well as well as holding paints and stains very well for an exceptional finish. This wood dries slowly and requires greater care and attention during kiln-drying to avoid degradation in lumber quality but will offer very good dimensional stability. This makes walnut a premium choice hardwood. Walnut is used in furniture, cabinets, millwork, gun stocks and flooring.

Stevia In The Raw is a zero–calorie, 100% natural, gluten free sweetener made from the leaf of the stevia plant found in South America. It can be used for sweetening food and drinks and is an excellent choice for baking and cooking.
Stevia In The Raw is 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, so it takes only a small amount to provide a large sweetening effect. Stevia In The Raw does not use additional ingredients, so you only get naturally delicious flavor. It's purity and wholesomeness makes it the perfect sugar replacement.
The stevia plant has been used as a sweetener for over 400 years, and has a long history of use as an approved dietary supplement. It is harvested in many countries around the world, predominantly in China and Brazil and is added to foods including ice cream, bread and soft drinks.
Is Stevia In The Raw Really Zero Calorie?
Fewer than 5 calories per serving is considered 'zero' calorie by the FDA, and Stevia In The Raw contains fewer than 2 calories per packet or per 1 teaspoon and totals only 84 calories per cup. Stevia In The Raw is a wonderful item to help reduce calories, when combined with a proper diet and regular physical activity, can result in weight loss.
The Taste
I have tried other stevia brands, but none did I like as well as this one. I find it to be as sweet or sweeter than sugar, but it doesn't have a strong odd aftertaste that other stevia brands have. I have been very pleased with the results it provides when cooking or baking with it, and it works great on cereal or in drinks. My Recipes Using Stevia In The Raw
Types Of Stevia In The Raw
Stevia In The Raw is available in a 50–packet box or a 9.7-ounce "Cup For Cup" product in a resealable Bakers Bag. When baking and using the Stevia In The Raw bakers bag, you can use the same amount of Stevia In The Raw as the recipe calls for sugar. Keeping the portable packets handy, make it easy to take Stevia with me when I'm on the go.
Stevia In The Raw has a shelf life of approximately four years when stored under cool and dry conditions. Exposure to high humidity and/or temperatures may result in caking or clumping, but it is still safe to consume. It is safe to consume for people with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivities.
Zero-calorie, all-natural Stevia In The Raw is Mother Nature's answer to eating smarter. It is such a versatile sweetener, that doesn't add extra calories to your items.
Stevia In The Raw is available in supermarkets nationwide. It is also found at many fine restaurants, cafés and coffee bars. To find a retailer near you click here: Find A Store Near You
Attempting to stifle an overactive sweet tooth by feeding it a potent low calorie sweeter does not solve the root cause of inappropriate appetites. Overuse of stevia can lower blood sugar too far, resulting in hypoglycemia. Concerns about stevia are based on controversial studies whose control and design have not been universally accepted. Reliance on the negative possibilities may misdirect potential users away from decades of reportedly safe and constructive uses in many highly developed and technologically advanced countries.

Come experience our exquisite Joseph Oregon lodging.
When we dreamed of creating a bed and breakfast we dreamed of a place in the remote Pacific Northwest where people could travel to relax, unwind, explore and reconnect.
We dreamed in warm, inviting, rich colors.
We dreamed of spaces to enjoy friendly companionship and spaces to be private.
We dreamed of fragrances of sun-dried cotton sheets and warm, rich spices.
We dreamed of savory food and crispy cold fruit. We dreamed in morning birdsong and the lull of lazy summer afternoons.
We dreamed of vast natural scenery and creature comforts to delight.
We dreamed of sharing our home, our valley, with future friends we'd not met.
Bronze Antler Bed & Breakfast is such a place.

Pastor Jonathan Falwell speaks at Wednesday's convocation
Jonathan Falwell, senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, encouraged students at Wednesday's convocation to be "authentic" and practical Christians.
In Matthew 7, he said God shows what it means to be real in Christ. He said God does not want Christians to live their lives judging others; they should instead focus on living their lives constantly seeking Christ.
"Twelve thousand people yesterday lost their jobs. A lot of people in that 12,000 are going to be searching for something that can give them comfort and peace," Falwell said, telling students not to seek out what the world has to offer but to seek out what God wants for their lives.
Falwell then encouraged students not to follow the crowd and to focus on the person of Jesus Christ and what He wants to say to them.
"We need to stop hanging around the people who will drag us down and keep us from that authentic relationship with Christ," Falwell said.
He concluded by warning students to beware of the frauds and false prophets in life (Matt 7:26-27) and not to build their lives on "trash."
"Are you building [your life] on sand or are you building it on rock?" Falwell asked them. "If you build it on the rock, you cannot fail."

United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.(Reuters)
The committees said on Wednesday that Clinton will testify on a report on the deadly attack on the United States diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.
The attack on September 11 killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, and raised questions about the adequacy of security in far-flung posts.
Republicans have criticised Democratic president Barack Obama's administration for its flawed early public explanations of the attack.
They have also criticised shifting explanations of why talking points given to US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice were changed to delete a reference to al-Qaeda. Some Republicans used that criticism to question Rice's suitability as a candidate to replace Clinton, if Obama were to nominate her.
Retirement for Clinton?
Clinton has said she planned to retire from her post at state after Obama's first term.
An accountability review board convened by the state department is expected to release a report on the Benghazi attack before Clinton testifies.
The board, led by veteran diplomat Thomas Pickering, is expected to consider whether enough attention was given to potential threats and how Washington responded to security requests from US diplomats in Libya.
Democratic senator John Kerry, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, said in a statement: "We ask our diplomats and development personnel to operate in some of the most dangerous places on the planet.
We owe it to them, and we owe it to the memory of ambassador Chris Stevens and his three fellow Americans who lost their lives in Benghazi to get past the politics and focus on the substance of what happened and what it tells us about diplomatic security going forward." – Reuters
