MISSION VIEJO, Calif.–It turns out that a local Santa Claus and elf were really just Christmas grinches in disguise.
A little girl was turned away while trying to visit a Christmas display at The Shops at Mission Viejo because she had a pit bull with her as a service dog. Abcde Santos–pronounced "Ab-suh-Dee"–was with her family and Pupcake, who she has had with her since 2009, when, according to a Facebook page dedicated to Pupcake the Service Dog, Santa refused to take a picture wit her because "those dogs eat people."
The Facebook page says that Abcde's mom offered to take Pupcake out of the mall completely and even asked if Santa would just smile and wave at Abcde, but Santa said "No because they support those dogs." The family explained the laws regarding service dogs, at which point they say Santa suddenly said he was allergic.
The page further states that Abcde was going to ask Santa what he wanted for Christmas so that she could make it for him.
On Pupcake's Facebook page's "about me" section it describes the journey the two have taken together. According to the page, which is written from Pupcake's point of view, doctors told her family she wouldn't be able to bond or make emotional connections. After Pupcake joined the family the two became best friends. "There is no Abcde without pup, they were born the moment they met," the page says Mr. Santos said.
The Noerr Programs, which provides digital event imaging and marketing services–including photos with Santa–to shopping centers nationwide, apologized for the incident. The company's CEO, Judy Noerr, wrote a post on the Facebook page for The Shops at Mission Viejo saying that on Sunday, Dec. 7 the company will present its Caring Santa at the mall. The Caring Santa is a program started in 2011 for kids with special needs, and it can be found in 119 locations across the U.S.
The Facebook post from Noerr also said that the company reached out to the girl and her family and invited her to a private visit with Santa, complete with complimentary photos of the girl and her dog.
The family released a statement saying that the incident was resolved by both Simon Property Group, which owns The Shops at Mission Viejo, the management team at the mall and Noerr. The Santa and the elf were fired.

Army Convoy In Iraq Still Waiting For EOD To Arrive
ROUTE TAMPA, IRAQ — Troops with the 505th Transportation Battalion conducting convey security operations found an object nearly two years ago that appeared to be an IED and requested an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Team, but sources confirmed Monday they are beginning to wonder if the EOD team they requested will ever show up.
Unofficially coined Camp Hope, Convoy Commander Sgt. First Class Fernando Perdido has presided for 23 months and 6 days over a scene that could be taken directly from the movie Deliverance. Remaining optimistic, he reassures his troops with a steady mantra: "They should be here any time now."
Perdido, very familiar with the lengthy times associated with EOD response, laughs off any naysayer who may somehow "know" that nobody is coming. "They're probably just finishing a 'Stairway To Heaven' Solo on Guitar Hero," retorts Perdido.
Members of the battalion are adamant about not violating their 1st General Order to "Guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved." The unit insists they are there to stay until EOD arrives.
As time has dragged on, Iraqis have begun to grow irate about their road being shut-down and are making attempts to drive around the cordon. Those who have tried have been met with a barrage of bullets from Corporal Jonathan Spark's .50 caliber machine gun.
"We can't have these people driving around here getting all blowed up by an IED, that just doesn't make sense," said a smiling Sparks. To date Sparks has a total of 700 vehicular kills, surpassing the world record previously held by Robosaurus.
After running out of their initial supplies, troops with the 505th began taking supplies from the trucks they were charged with guarding. Needing shelter from the elements they began to move into CHUs being transported, and siphoned gas from fuel tankers for electrical generation. The seemingly endless supply of MREs that have an infinite shelf life over time became their main source of food.
About a year ago, a semblance of an actual military camp began to take shape, resulting in the local hobus bread man setting up shop near the convoy. An entire souk started to grow up around the convoy forcing KBR to move in and set up a Burger King.
Soldiers living at Camp Hope even began marrying each other by services officiated by the unit's chaplain, this in turn resulted in families taking roots at Camp Hope after the birth of the first children.
Most soldiers reply with laughter when asked if anyone has ever tried leaving, although they do like to make fun of Sgt. Theresa Vail, a soldier they call a "complete loser" who left after hitching a ride with passing convoy months ago.
Duffel Blog reporters tried to explain that the war in Iraq was over, but that too was laughed off. At press time, Camp Hope was still waiting for EOD to show up.
Army not looking forward to prostate exam after 244th birthday
WASHINGTON—The Army will celebrate its birthday today with the rite of passage every service endures once it reaches a certain age, the dreaded prostate exam, sources say.
Over the past 244 years, the Army has enjoyed relatively good health, with the exception of a few minor hiccups post-Vietnam and after the Gulf War, the Army recently told Congress. "Unfortunately, recent tensions with Iran, Russia, China, and Venezuela—along with recurring flare-ups in Iraq and Afghanistan—have left the Army concerned about the health of its aging combat systems, aching readiness numbers, and our likely basketball-sized prostate," it said.
"I can't seem to 'force-flow' troops into theater, if you know what I mean," the Army told the Duffel Blog. "So I guess it's time for the old finger sweep. I just hope the doc doesn't have massive sausage fingers. I don't want to walk around for the rest of the day looking stiff and constipated like the Marine Corps."
Sources close to the Army say it has been secretly looking forward to the exam ever since its finger accidentally broke through some MRE toilet paper during its last deployment.
Nor will this be the first time the Army has had an invasive procedure involving its rectum. During the past several years of sequestration, the House and Senate Armed Service Committees have given the Army multiple unwanted colonoscopies, aimed at finding out why it was so bloated.
"Turns out I was just backed up with wasteful acquisition programs and a bunch of officers and NCOs who had never deployed," the Army chuckled. "The colonoscopy prep flushed out most of it out and I took care of the rest with a few rounds of retention boards. Unfortunately, it looks like I will have chronic DCGS-A and a few other maladies for years to come."
The Army has an appointment with the same doctor it saw at the Military Entrance Processing Station back in 1775, who sources say looked to be about 90-years-old back then. Though it will continue to face readiness health challenges as it ages, Army says it will be ready to fight and win the nation's wars—given enough warning and several billion more dollars than whatever Congress is currently appropriating.

Chaplain's wife drives to different state in disguise to buy dildo
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—The wife of Army Chaplain Mike Phillips, Amy, has just been spotted entering a dildo store 350 miles from her home, sources confirm.
According to anecdotal reports, it is often difficult for spouses of the clergy to indulge in their love of cock, due to the busybody nature of congregants and parishioners. Spouses in need of "marital aids," costumes, and restraints must travel far outside the Fort Hood area to procure the items required for a satisfying, make-you-weep orgasm.
Mrs. Phillips declined to comment to Duffel Blog reporters, but another chaplain's wife offered some thoughts on condition that her real name not be used.
"It's tough, it's true," said "Danielle," the wife of Protestant Chaplain Steve White, the brigade chaplain of Panther Brigade, 82d Airborne Division, "because many of your husband's flock think that you shouldn't have needs and desires like a normal woman"
She continued, "Like just because your husband nurtures and shepherds young soldiers in their spiritual lives, you're somehow supposed to be above just needing a thick tool slammed up in your clam."
Danielle paused to adjust her Carmen Sandiego disguise while glancing furtively around the parking lot outside The Toybox, the best-Yelp-reviewed dildo store in Des Moines, Iowa—more than 1,000 safe miles away from Fort Bragg.
"Honestly, we have children, so they know we've had sex at least twice. I need a little more than man-on-top missionary once in a while, gosh darnit," she added. "He is deployed all the time, and it's only the Catholics and Mormons who are against self-pleasuring. I just need a little release, for crying out loud."
Sources further confirmed that Mrs. Phillips was unfortunately thwarted in her attempt to covertly make her purchase (a 7 inch veiny Caucasian-color rubber vibrator that features "realistic squirting," and several brand-associated refill vials of fake semen) when she ran into the wife of her husband's head deacon, also in a beret and fake mustache, at the cash register. She was forced to ninja-roll under a rack of feather boas and fair-trade leather whips and dive out the window like Bruce Willis.
Staff Officers hope for war with Iran to end Bronze Star drought
THE PENTAGON — Many U.S. military staff officers are hoping for war with Iran, Duffel Blog has learned. These officers cite two reasons, sources familiar with the subject report: First, the U.S. has already gone to war with two of Iran's neighbors and is familiar with the region. Second, many strategists believe the Iranian military machine will be defeated quickly, leading to a quick award of bronze stars before an even quicker departure from the ancient country.
"Finding excuses to write myself up so the colonel can sign a bronze star citation is difficult without a legitimate war," Army Maj. James Forsyth said. "I don't really want to do anything overtly valiant, because that could also be career threatening."
"I just want people to see my bronzie license plate and assume that I did."
As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have wound down, staff officers have been searching for ways to earn the once-prestigious decoration. Forsyth and his generation of officers joined too late for the Great Medal Giveaways of Aught-One and Aught-Three. Back then, simply doing your job was often enough. Citations include actions such as organizing mundane resupply convoys or reporting semiaccurate intelligence to the brigade commander on enemy strength and disposition.
Present-day lieutenant colonels and above earned their bronze stars in the early days in OIF when the bar was incredibly low—even serving on brigade staffs that never left Kuwait.
For enlisted personnel, the minimum bar has always been tied to valorous action. At present, and against all common sense, even officers have to storm a strongly defended trench full of, say, ISIS fighters for consideration. But sadly, such trenches have been increasingly hard to find as ISIS fighters are killed off by drone strikes conducted by "pilots" who received the "distinguished warfare medal."
While many company-grade officers want decorations, enlisted troops are hoping to get the combat pay that will finally pay for expensive modified trucks and muscle cars to manage their three-mile commutes from base housing to work.
'Call for Fyre Festival' dupes Millennials into enlisting
FORT SILL, Okla.—Millennial recruits and their helicopter parents are demanding answers after the Army's "Call for Fyre Festival" failed to deliver on its promises of extravagant music performances, celebrity appearances, and unrestricted free-fire zones.
The festival began as a recruiting gimmick to attract Millennials, but ballooned into a social-media phenomenon, enticing the nation's youth to sign away years of their lives they would otherwise have been spent aimlessly racking up student debt.
Call for Fyre guaranteed access to exclusive clubs, such as Navy Federal Credit Union and the USO. The festival even offered premium packages for longer enlistments. For a six-year commitment, the High Value Individual, or "HVI," package included an an AC-130 airstrike and a selfie with a captured ISIS commander's corpse.
"Kids these days just aren't into duty, or selfless service, or endless war," said the festival's co-founder, Sergeant First Class Will McFarland. "But they love flashy shit like Coachella. So that's what we gave them. Coachella. With bombs."
Trouble for the festival began when the U.S. withdrew its firebases from Northern Iraq, causing the festival's location to change from Kurdistan to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Unwilling to visit middle-America, social-media influencers such as Nancy Pelosi started cancelling appearances. And in the coup de grâce, the USO only managed to book music performances by one member of the Spin Doctors and Uncle Kracker.
Thanks to new Army policy allowing cell phones during training, millennial recruits are fighting back in the only way they know—hashtags and harsh language.
"THIS IS #FyreFRAUD! I was promised Cardi B and A-10's, not dilapidated howitzers and washed up B-list bands," tweeted Private Mark Marino.
The Army responded to the controversy on its official Instagram page: "The U.S. Army reminds its volunteers that you can't sue your recruiter, but we will try to book some better artists for #CallforFyre2020."
Soldier travels back in time to prevent his own wedding
FORT HOOD, Texas—Sgt. Freddy Heflin, 1st Battalion, 9th Cavalry Regiment ("Head Hunters"), and his bride-to-be, Miss Adrienne Pickens, of the Pickens family from Cut and Shoot, Texas, were flummoxed on Saturday when their wedding was interrupted by an intruder calling himself "Freddy from the future," witnesses say.
According to a specialist who was acting as ring bearer, just as minister Rev. Jack Carter of the Second Baptist Church of Huntsville asked the assembly if there were any objections to the union, a bright flash lit the Comanche Chapel and a man appeared, screaming for the proceedings to halt. Witnesses say he resembled Heflin, although approximately ten years older and with "crazy eyes."
The man dashed up onto the dais, tastefully appointed by Miss Pickens with teal and pink primroses at great cost to her father, and yanked the groom's hand away from the bride's.
"Don't do it!" he yelled. "Freddy, it's me! You—I mean, it's us! I worked so hard to travel back in time to tell you! Do not marry this woman!"
Best man Sgt. Barney Ross attempted at that point to eject the intruder, but Heflin stopped him.
"Wait," Heflin said. "Let him speak."
"She takes everything from us!" the man continued, pointing at Pickens. "She makes you stop playing video games—I wasn't even allowed to get the Xbox Infinity, so I can't play Halo 9 or PlayerUnknown's Sex Battle! She never wants to have sex but won't speak to me for days if she catches me jerking off or watching porn."
Witness say Future Heflin spoke quickly, telling Heflin, "I can't go out with the guys every once in awhile, but she has 'book club' once a week, which is really just an excuse for her and her friends to gripe about their husbands and drink shitty wine. I can't watch football anymore, she made me throw out my comic books, and she makes fun of me whenever I watch Firefly."
"Oh yeah," Future Heflin added, "they renew Firefly." He and Current Heflin then high-fived.
"This is an outrage!" Pickens cried. "Get this insane person out of here!"
"It gets worse," said Future Heflin. "She cheats on you. She refuses to let you discipline our children—they were obese by the time they hit kindergarten. And speaking of weight, she's going to gain 80 pounds in the next five years. Eighty. You think this is the real Adrienne? Last year she got double bronchial pneumonia and almost died. She was in the hospital and lost half her body weight. I didn't realize it—you don't realize it—but think about it: We've never seen pictures of her from high school."
"Have you been spying on us?" yelled Mr. Pickens at that point, rising to his feet. "Somebody call the cops. Reverend, please do something!"
"Want proof that I'm from the future?" Future Heflin continued. He pointed at Sergeant Ross. "She fucked your best friend. Not two weeks ago. It was when you had that fight over the groom's cake, when she said it was childish to have a Dallas Cowboys cake. Remember that?"
The groom's aunt reports that at this point, Ross hung his head, and said, "I'm sorry, Fred. She came over to ask my advice and brought a bunch of wine, and the next thing you know we're both drunk and then she pushed me down on that Dinosaucers bedspread I have and pulled my pants down …"
Future Heflin reportedly also described a future war in Ukraine. "When you get back from your second Ukraine deployment in 2027—that's right, I said second—she will empty your bank account, leave the kids with your mom, and be off in San Juan de Allende with Ray Breslin, her boyfriend from tenth grade," he said, according to witness. "Who I almost feel sorry for, by the way, because she slowly made him throw out all his favorite things, too. I'm telling you. Walk out of here right now and don't look back. Save the future: Dump this bitch."
The witnesses added that "the weirdness didn't stop there."
The chapel apparently was lit by a second flash of light, and an obese woman appeared, wearing an "Army Wife—Hardest Job In The Army" t-shirt, blue leopard-print yoga pants, and flip flops, shrieking like a harpy.
"Fred!" she allegedly screamed. "What are you telling them? Don't listen to him! He's a liar! I only sucked Ross off because he made me drink a bunch of my favorite wine, which I only bought on the way to his place because it was on sale. We didn't even really have real, actual, sex, only for like 20 or 30 minutes. And the kids are fine, lots of eight-year-olds weigh 220 pounds. Just do a Google Image search!"
"Oh, Christ," Future Heflin said. He turned to Pickens. "This is who you become. You happy now?"
"Oh my fucking sweet Lord," exclaimed Current Heflin.
Maid of honor Chelsea Houston denied reports that she muttered "Wow, Adrienne, she looks just like your senior pictures, but, like, plus-20 years" at this point.
"Listen, buddy, I'm not pissed at you if this is who she was all along," Current Heflin said to Ross. Witnesses agree that at this point, Heflin turned to the groom side of the Chapel and said, "Well, there's still a conference center out in Belton with a shitload of finger foods and booze. Who wants to get the hell out of here?"
"Baby, no! This is all some kind of lie! This isn't who I become! I love you!" Pickens allegedly cried tearfully.
"I make you into a better person, not a childish moron, and this is how you thank me?" Future Pickens yelled.
Current Heflin, Future Heflin, and guests then departed the chapel, leaving the bridal party and her family in what some called "stunned silence."
Neither family agreed to comment on the record.
Pentagon senior executive fired for inadvertently making a decision
WASHINGTON – Pentagon officials fired a senior bureaucrat after he accidentally made a decision, breaking decades of tradition and spurring fears that the building may become more efficient, sources confirmed today.
Donald Witherspoon, a Senior Executive Service (SES) civilian on the Army staff, began working at the Pentagon after he retired as a colonel weeks before he was supposed to deploy for the first time.
Sources say Witherspoon began his day like any other: by crying in the shower, screaming "you are a man" at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, and donning an ill-fitting suit before driving to work. Little did he know, his role in the Pentagon was about to come to an end.
The incident occurred when Witherspoon returned from a meeting and mistook a staff action packet for a coloring book. After keeping mostly within the lines, he was so pleased with himself that he signed the document and handed it to his executive officer. The unwitting bureaucrat became the first SES since 1952 to make a decision in the Pentagon.
"So many processes had to fail for this to happen," said Witherspoon's executive officer, Col. Stephen Newell. "This system is designed to delay decisions indefinitely … or at least spread risk among dozens of generals and SES's so that no single leader can be held accountable." After this revelation, blood trickled from Newell's nose and he collapsed.
Dr. Jonathan Northfield, a Pentagon mathematician, was less surprised by the incident.
"It was a statistical eventuality … like the infinite monkey theorem," said Northfield, referring to the theory where a monkey randomly hitting keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually churn out Shakespeare's complete works. "Witherspoon was the monkey who accidentally wrote King Lear."
A consulting firm has already offered Witherspoon a position to sit quietly at meetings and alternate facial expressions between a vacant smile and a concerned scowl for double his current salary.
Point/Counterpoint: Future wars will be fought with AI robots vs. 'Microsoft Word is not responding'
The following is a point/counterpoint discussion about the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and robots in future large scale ground combat. The point will be presented by an Army officer writing an article for an online military journal. The counterpoint will be presented by the same officer while his computer's operating system, software suite, and the Pentagon Joint Service Provider thwart his attempt to write the article.
Point: Future combat will be lightning fast, violent, and lethal, requiring leaders to rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning to process massive amounts of intelligence and make decisions rapidly.
Counterpoint: [Smart card error. The smart card was not recognized. Please check that the card is inserted correctly and fits tightly] "Jesus … Alright, I'll put the card back in juuuuust right for you. I hate this computer."
Point: Near-peer adversaries will contest our forces in all domains, from mission receipt to crossing the line of departure. Our information and cyber warriors will be able to respond to threats in real time.
Counterpoint: [slams mouse down] "I just LOVE typing my pin number in six times when I open anything."
Point: Soldiers at the squad level will have zettabytes of information at their fingertips. They will maneuver dispersed, alone and unafraid, massing synchronized effects on target with assured communications.
Counterpoint: [Please select a cert.] "Am I supposed to use my authentication cert or my email cert to log in? "[No valid certificates found.] "Fan-fucking-tastic, why would I want to be able to access the shared drive?"
Point: In order to impose multiple dilemmas on our adversary and minimize risk to U.S. forces, we will use artificially intelligent robots.
Counterpoint: [Microsoft Office Word is not responding. If you close the program, you might lose information] "Ummm." [Clicks "wait for the program to respond"]
Point: These unmanned systems will coordinate attacks autonomously, based on the commander's vision and intent, and destroy everything in their path.
Counterpoint: [:( your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you] "Wait, what the fuck? No, no, no. I haven't saved in like … two hours. THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!"
Point: By employing task-based artificial intelligence, these systems will also improve our ability to distinguish legitimate targets from harmless civilians. They will minimize civilian casualties while maximizing lethality.
Counterpoint: [Smart card error. The smart card was not recognized. Please check that the card is inserted correctly and fits tightly] "DAMN YOU JOINT SERVICE PROVIDER! I PRAY TO GOD I SEE ONE OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE HALLWAY!!!"

Alabama National Guardsman charged after aborting unplanned mission
GHAZNI, Afghanistan — An Alabama National Guard lieutenant is facing legal action after he aborted a botched mission, sources confirmed today.
1st Lt. Casey Wade attempted to penetrate a Taliban stronghold, but chose to abort the mission when his unprotected platoon took heavy enemy fire. After-action reports revealed the mission was totally unplanned and lacked critical material and emotional support from Wade's chain of command.
Wade is alleged to have violated an Alabama National Guard policy that prohibits all abortions except on missions that pose a significant risk to the career of a colonel or higher.
"Clearly Wade wasn't ready for this commitment, but he made his choice to go in, and he needed to see it through," said Wade's commander, Capt. Ted Shapiro. "Wade is an abomination, and should be thrown out of the Army immediately."
Wade's legal team sees the matter in a very different light. "They were only six weeks into a nine-month deployment, and didn't even know that area was impregnable," said Wade's lawyer, Capt. Ashlynn Torgelson. "Wade was the ground commander, so that mission was his baby. His mission, his choice."
Local Afghans were also supportive of Wade's choice to abort.
"Last week, one of their bombs hit our universal preschool. These Alabamans are a bunch of baby killers," a tribal elder told reporters.
If convicted, Wade could be forced to serve up to 99 years in the Alabama National Guard.

Very fresh high quality curry, it sounds like it has improved quite a lot lately. Delicious.
Andy Jones February 17, 2018
Food was fresh, great and more than enough. Staff was kind and very polite. Not crowded(lunch time). Fast service. Prices were fair. They could decorate the place a bit for a more indian atmosphere but rather than that,my experience here was great!
Eliza Ngoy Kalumba February 17, 2018
Amazing customer service with quality of food.
frenklin khedia February 17, 2018
Ignore the previous negative reviews. The restaurant is under new management (I think it's the same people that run Mango Indian nearby) and it's absolutely amazing. Waiting staff were really nice and the food was some of the best Indian food I've ever had.
Jamie Grain February 17, 2018
Now under new management. Initially we were concerned about the wait for food, however upon arrival it was excellent. Rahul and his team have done a fantastic job and the taste and presentation are exceptional.
Bim Bam February 17, 2018
The food was really good and the staff very kind! Absolutely recommend this place, it's my favourite Indian restaurant in London for sure! What an hidden gem!
Silvia Anselmi February 17, 2018
Five stars for the food. Reopened 2 weeks ago under new management. We were seated without a wait when other restaurants on the area were packed on Saturday night. We happened to chance upon this hidden restaurant which a flight of stairs below the street after a visit to the southwark cathedral and borough market. Clean but bare when it comes to ambience. I had the Luknowi biryani and fish moily which were both exquisite and authentic
Ess P. - Yelp February 17, 2018
First time I have ever written a review for anything and its also the first time I have ever gone up to a chef to say how wonderful the meal was. Been to plenty of Indian restaurants in my life and this was by far the best. Great flavours and lovely menu.

Babies learn by listening. Hearing problems are the most common birth defect with six out of 1,000 babies born with hearing problems. It's one of the most treatable birth defects, but since infants are unable to tell us they can't hear, it often goes undiagnosed. This is significant since the most important years for speech and language development are from birth to age three. Early detection of hearing loss helps give your child the special attention needed to develop language skills. It also aids in social, emotional, and educational development.
Trained staff members of the hospital use a procedure called
Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR). The screener sends sounds through small earphones, which are placed over each ear. Small sensors are attached to your baby's skin to detect your baby's brain response to the sounds s/he hears. The screener analyses the brain response and the results are either a Pass or Refer. The test is usually done in the mother's room.
What does Pass/Refer mean? A result of Pass can be an indication of
normal hearing. A Refer means additional testing is needed. Many things
can cause this result and it doesn't mean there is a problem. Since this
is only a screening, it may not identify very mild hearing loss.
An audiologist oversees the hospital's newborn hearing screen program

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have posted their new single, "You Better Pray. The song eschews some of the band's emo/rock influences for a more Guns'n'Roses-tinged hard rock approach. The song will be included on the band's upcoming, as-yet-untitled album which will hit stores in early 2009. The band released their previous full length, Don't You Fake It, in 2006.
You can find the song on their myspace page.

Sumbawa is a large island to the east of Bali and Lombok. It is part of West Nusa Tenggara province along with Lombok. There are hundreds of small islands in this area in addition to the two major islands. Sumbawa really belongs more to Eastern Indonesia than to the western part of the archipelago. The effects of Hindu and Buddhist cultures are minimal in Sumbawa (although there is a Balinese presence along the northern coastal area), and although the island is predominantly Muslim, the role of traditional culture is still very strong.
The slogan of Sumbawa Regency is: "B E S A R" which stands for BERSIH, ELOK, SEHAT, AMAN DAN, RAPI, (Clean, Beautiful, Healthy, Safe, and Proper). The regional government's official website notes that Sumbawa still lacks sufficient medical facilities to support public health, in particular a lack of doctors and other health professionals. A public health center was recently opened in Sekongkang, but adequate treatment for a serious illness or accident requires a trip to Sumbawa Besar or Mataram, both of which require a journey of at least four hours minimum.
The regional government has a six-year plan for improving the lives of the island's residents. This plan includes: Health (improving health service quality including equipment and facilities), Education, Social Welfare (including reaching gender equality), Agriculture (optimizing resources for improving agricultural products), Industry, Trade and Cooperation (developing an economic system that focuses on the fair market mechanism), Regional Finance and Capital Investment, Manpower and Demography, Public Works and Communication (improving transport and the use of water resources), Agrarian Matter and Landscape, Living Environment and Natural Resource (rehabilitating and conserving natural resources), Tourism, Art and Culture (developing tourism based on natural and cultural tours, as well as teaching traditional art and culture), Religious Life Teaching (improving religious life through teaching and providing praying facilities and by making the role of religious institutions and social organizations to be teaching about living in harmony with other religious people), Law and Society's Orderliness (creating safe conditions based on the supremacy of the law and human rights); Politic and the Efficiency of Apparatus (improving the quality of public service through responsibility and the quality of government institutions); Science and Technology (the application of right and useful technology).
In many respects Sumbawa can be considered remote. To get to Sumbawa from Bali most people take the ferry from Bali to Lombok, travel overland to the eastern seaport in Lombok and then take another ferry to Sumbawa, ending up in Poto Tano. From there transportation is somewhat problematic. There are buses that will take us on to Sumbawa Besar, the capital, or down the coast road to the south, If traveling from Lombok, it is best to board a bus there that will take us to our final destination in Sumbawa. It is also possible to fly into Sumbawa Besar city on the western side of the island, and Bima on the eastern side of the island. A small airline called Tropical Air existed for a short while which flew directly to Sekongkan where the surfing spots of Yoyo and Scar Reef are located.
Sumbawa is known for its great waves and sandy white beaches. Due to the somewhat trying process of getting there and the scarcity of cheap tourist facilities, the island is not visited much by non-surfing tourists which is unfortunate as the parts of the island that have seen are quite beautiful. During the dry season (April to November) a lot of dust is blown up and around. Strong winds blow in off the ocean, and the lush green hills, mountains and valleys turn a dusty brown. When the rainy season begins an amazing transformation takes place and the island becomes a lush jungle once again.
The pace of life on Sumbawa is definitely slower than that in Bali. As most of the island is still developing, there is a very rural feel to just about everywhere that you go, including Sumbawa Besar, the capital of the western side of the island. The mining company, New Mont, has a gold and copper mine down in the southwestern corner of the island around the villages of Sekongkang, Maluk and Benete. Their presence has speeded up the development process on this side of the island.
West Sumbawa is mostly made up of hollow lefts that are best accessed by boat charter. The charters will pull up and anchor at the best breaks for easy access to the surf. This area has many steep cliffs that offer scenic backdrops to the epic surf. The Lake area can be accessed by charter, as well as by ferry and overland transfers, or flights from Bali. Here there some hotels and surf camps located right in front of the main breaks of Lackey Peak and Lackey Pipe, with other waves within walking distance. Most waves are a long paddle or walk across the reef depending on the tide, reef booties are recommended.

Title: Silver and Stone
* Series: Bloodlines Series #1
Author: J.D. Thompson
Publisher: Self-published
Pages: Paperback; 142
Release Date: August 3, 2011
Source: Author
Intended Reading Group: Young Adult
Content Screening: Mild Language
HDB Rating: 4 Keys to My Heart
Recommended to: Readers who enjoy star-crossed lovers and a good amount of suspense.
Add it on: Goodreads / Shelfari / Amazon / B&N
Welcome to high school high society hell, where last season's slingbacks can warrant a lunch table demotion, the wrong date will knock you off the it-list and behind every pair of oversized Chanel sunglasses lies a secret people are dying to keep.
As if senior year at Weatherford Preparatory School wasn't hard enough, sixteen year old Alexis Bardolph had to add school outcast to the curriculum.
A new found notoriety following a family scandal, her lacrosse star boy-friend dumping her for a former BFF and a string of perpetually bad hair days were among the many things going wrong in her already turbulent teenage life.
But when the haunting nightmares that have plagued her since childhood begin to take an eerily tangible form and several Holler Creek residents are reported missing, Alexis can't help but wonder if there isn't more to her hellish dreams than meets the eye.
The unexpected arrival of a mysterious and dangerously handsome new student ultimately leads Alexis to troubling truths that not even her wildest imagination could have conjured.
First off, let's talk characters. I really enjoyed all the characters in Silver and Stone right off the bat. Alexis, the main character, is strong and easy to relate to. Lucas, the love interest, is just the right amount of sexy and mysterious mixed together. When you bring these two together, things get interesting. I loved their dynamic relationship, and the other characters nicely round out the overall story. It doesn't matter how much they are actually in the plot, J.D. Thompson shows an equal amount of descriptive love to all her characters.
The story moves at a really nice pace, just quickly enough to keep you on the edge of your seat while you read. There were never really any parts that dragged. The best part though was the suspense that is peppered in throughout everything else. This is an author who knows how to hold out to the last minute, and then throw a twist in right at the perfect moment. Plus, Silver and Stone intrigues by bringing together two very different paranormal creatures. No spoilers here, but I will say that they are both amazing! I knew something was coming around the bend, the suspense was there, and then it hits. You find out why Alexis' life just seems to be getting crazier by the minute.
There is a lot of Romeo and Juliet type love in this story. Star-crossed lovers. Conflict that seems to have no end. It's done really nicely though, and doesn't overshadow the rest of the story. As I mentioned above, the relationship between Alexis and Luke is sweet all on its own. Everything else just adds that extra bit of mystery. J.D. Thompson's writing is on par as well. Perfectly descriptive without overdoing it, and very easy to get into.
This looks like it will be a fun series, and I cannot wait for more! I definitely recommend this to readers who love a good twisted romance. Between the writing and the characters, Thompson has something great brewing here. Further proof that self-published can be just as fabulous as traditionally published. Go ahead, give Silver and Stone a shot!

Iowa Inclement Weather Lawyers
We all know that the quality of the road, the condition of your car, and the actions of nearby drivers play a role in your driving. However, a driving safety factor that some may not consider is the weather. Poor weather can greatly affect the condition of the road and lead to serious accidents, and this is especially an issue for semi trucks and 18-wheelers.
Semi trucks and 18-wheelers are tall as well as heavy. This means that they are more susceptible to high winds, and they are more difficult to stop on slippery, rain-soaked roads. Thus, truck drivers must be especially attentive to the weather. However, if they choose to drive recklessly in inclement weather, a catastrophic accident may result. If you or someone you love has been harmed by a negligent truck driver, contact the Iowa inclement weather lawyers of LaMarca Law Group, P.C., today at 877-327-2600 for a free consultation.
Bad Weather and Trucks: A Dangerous Combination
There are many different weather conditions that can affect the safety of a road. Any type of precipitation – such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail – can quickly turn a roadway into a slippery mess. Therefore, truck drivers should avoid this weather, or use special equipment such as studded or chained tires to get a grip on icy or snowy surfaces.
When semi trucks or 18-wheelers slide on ice or rain, it can be difficult to stop the momentum of such a large vehicle. This can cause a loss of control and even a rollover, which can seriously harm other drivers around the truck. Sadly, truck accidents are often severe, and they can cause terrible injuries like spinal cord damage and head trauma.
Contact Us
Truck drivers should avoid inclement weather, adapt their driving to the conditions, or use specialized truck parts like studded tires in order to drive in bad weather. However, not all truck drivers take these precautions, and you or your loved one may have been seriously injured as a result. To discuss your case and learn about seeking compensation for medical bills and other expenses, contact the Iowa inclement weather attorneys of LaMarca Law Group, P.C., at 877-327-2600 today.

But remember being gullible isn't all bad. If your brain wasn't capable of suspending disbelief you'd never lose yourself in a good book or get sucked into a movie.
I wanted to comment that for me, this "awareness" thing deriving from meditation took off and at a certain point we could say that it more or less took over my life. One of the first times I noticed this was when I went to a movie and I didn't get sucked in. Not for a second. I was aware and present the whole time. And I recognized that this was unusual, like, hmm, "this is new".
At the time I was participating in some regular video chats with several more advanced yogis. I mentioned this phenomenon to them and at that moment, the screen of maybe 3 or 4 yogis suddenly lit up with everyone gesturing "thumbs up" into their webcams. The place lit up with thumbs. At that point I realized I was on the right track.
I don't want to be too obtuse about this - to some degree I can get a little bit absorbed or lost in something, but for the most part nowadays, I am typically aware. I would be happy to bet money on whether or not I am present, because I know that is a bet I would win on average. A friend of mine at the time, one of the senior yogis, remarked that he felt as if he was "stuck in the present". Yes.
The key, though, is that even if I get a little bit absorbed into something, I am relatively unattached to whatever that is, and there is a flexibility with that, and there is even then at least a little bit of a foothold into the present. There's a friend of mine that likes to sleep with a foot out from underneath the covers. However covered up she may be, there's still that one little piece that is exposed to the ambient temperature. So it's a little like that, a little bit of awareness that is always grounded in the here and now.
I'm reminded a bit of Les Fehmi's training that he refers to as Open Focus. Same kind of thing. A vipassana type awareness of space and volume is used to train awareness and to have an attentional flexibility between a narrow and wide or open focus, and to always have a little bit of that broader open awareness of the here and now.
The key that I referred to is this relative lack of attachment, and there is a certain kind of relaxation or tranquility that comes with that. We can try to relax, but it appears that for the most part we must be aware in order to relax. So awareness comes first. If we are aware, we can be truly relaxed. If you are lost in some kind of daydream, you might come out of it and notice that some part of your body was tensed up in response to your thoughts. Once you come out of the fantasy, you see that your body is tensed up and it is often very easy and obvious to relax that tension.
When I watch movies, I sense when there are scenes that are interpreted as tense, and I kind of feel a little bit of that, but I don't really get sucked in. I am aware, though, that people around me are in fact tensing up, and after a scene like that you will often hear a lot of deep sighs. As people come out of that tense scene and gain some degree of awareness of the tension that they were holding, they naturally let go of that tension in the diaphragm, and relax.
There is this obvious level of physical tension that can be let go of, and maybe even more importantly I would say that there are levels where we could say that emotional tension can be let go of, and mental tension as well. But it requires that we be aware, that we be aware very continuously, and that within that we feel all those little sensations and feelings and thoughts, and our resistance or craving of those feelings and sensations and thoughts, and that we see all this and allow the body to really see this and to maybe relax a bit. And you just practice that kind of awareness and feeling and releasing for a couple of thousand hours, and there you go :)

We are approaching the end of the month, which means the end of our My Story promotion. Be sure to grab the Mini Book, Day by Day Flipbook and Journey Days Clipboard at 30% off before March 31st. We've already shown you a few different tips for each item, but we have more. Today, we'll show you 3 different ways to use the Journey Days Clipboard.
1. Instead of stamping directly on the calendar page, adhere a colored cardstock panel to the page. Your beautiful blooms and designs will surely pop out against a colored background, and it allows you to add more dimension to the page.
Supply List: Journey Days Clipboard ST-0126| Poppy Days Stamp Set SS-0346| Artful Burst Die DI-0220| Summer Branch Die DI-0162| Lavender Fusion Cardstock| Whip Cream Cardstock CS-0040| River Stone Satin Ribbon AC-0139| Rock Candy Cardstock| Cut Rhinestones| Silver Journey Thread AC-0205| Journey Sparkle Dust| Cool Pool Ink Pad| Blue Lagoon Ink Pad|
2. Play with patterned paper. Use a sheet of your favorite pattern print as a background for your calendar page. Cut out the calendar section of the page. Adhere it to a solid colored cardstock panel, and then adhere that to your patterned print. You can add a strip of sparkle tape too for an extra embellishment. This page is simple, but really cute.
Supply List: Journey Days Clipboard ST-0126| Confectionary Prints Paper PP-0028| Lemon Grass Cardstock| Whip Cream Sparkle Tape AC-0258|
3. You've seen how the Journey Days Clipboards are great to display an artsy canvas. They can also be used to display decorated Pocket Pages – typically used in the Journey Days Albums. Use the Layer Pocket full 4X6 page to create a keepsake page. Clip your favorite photo to it. And of course you must add sparkle with a bit of Whip Cream Sparkle Tape, maybe some Twinkle Trim and a handful of Journey Sequins.
Supply List: Journey Days Clipboard ST-0126| Layer Pocket Pages JD-0021| Bold Numbers Steel Rule Die SR-0028| Dahlia Burst Stamp Set SS-0203| Dahlia Burst Die Set DI-0127| Designer Vellum Prints PP-0008| Clear View Sheet| Journey Sequins – Special Celebration| Clear Pigment Ink Pad IP-0102| Journey Silver Embossing Powder| Twinkle Trim| Whip Cream Sparkle Tape AC-0258| I Heart Clip AC-0261|

Sponsored content from John Deere
JOHN Deere's range of self-propelled and trailed sprayers encompass the latest in application and precision ag technology, offering customers a complete sprayer portfolio to suit any farming application.
Based in Forbes, New South Wales, Hutcheon and Pearce salesman Darren Keane said his customers couldn't be happier with the John Deere sprayer range.
"There is an old saying, 'you get what you pay for' and we have been extremely happy with the quality and longevity of the John Deere equipment," Mr Keane said.
Incorporating the most advanced precision ag systems and application technologies, Keane believes the hardest question for any farmer is, 'SP or trailed?'.
"The process we use with our clients who are interested in the John Deere SP and trailed sprayers, ensures the customer needs are met every time," he said.
"Often, the sprayer is the most used piece of equipment on the farm, so it can make sense to invest in a dedicated self-propelled sprayer unit however, with anything from 1500 to 8000 acres (600 to 3200 hectares), a trailing sprayer makes much more sense economically.
"In larger, broadacre farming, clients want to see more of the technology and greater application potential, so an SP sprayer would be a more popular choice."
John Deere's fully integrated technologies provide real time data, giving the operator complete control over application rates, spray pressure and, in more advanced machines, individual nozzle control.
"If the farmer has their sprayer hooked up to a John Deere AMS system, they are able to upload all their spraying records to the MyJohnDeere cloud through an inbuilt computer application."
Client records including the date of application, wind speed, spray rate and coverage are safely transferred and kept as an online record.
In larger scale operations, the owner can send information to the tractor or SP sprayer operator for use when in operation.
Investing in this type of technology now, can save farmers in the long term.
Meanwhile, Keane said farmers wanting a trailed sprayer for smaller properties can look no further than the John Deere M700 and M900 series.
"They have been fitted with air bag suspension on the axles and have been adapted with a longer drawbar to ensure balance."
"The tractor operator can sit there and have a nice, smooth run without being thrown around."
Keane suggests that farmers who cover more than 6500 hectares at a time often prefer to invest in the self-propelled model due to it being a more convenient option.
In particular, the R4045 SP sprayer is capable of producing a 870 litre per minute output through either the 37 and 40 metre carbon fibre booms, improving productivity.
The M962 trailed sprayer, by comparison, has the ability to capture 6200 litres within the polyethylene tank, allowing upwards of 260 litres to be pumped through the 30 metre boom per minute.
All sprayer units can be adapted with specific fittings, sprayer nozzles and record technology to suit the individual needs of the client.
Keane believes the comparison and potential investment between John Deere's SP sprayers and their trailed range comes down to application and individual client needs.
"Most of my clients will work off their sprayer tank size and how many hectares they can get out of a tank," he said.
Keane has also observed that farmers who sought out the trailed sprayer will, more often than not, be looking to have the added function of another tractor.
"With another tractor, they get a few bites of the cherry, so to speak, where they'll be able to use it for spreading, ripping and light tillage or even sowing their crops," he said.
While still relatively new to the diverse Australian landscape, John Deere trailed sprayer technology has quickly found its home in broadacre farming solutions.
"John Deere has brought these machines on to the market here with great confidence and we're more than happy to offer them to our clients."

Taylor Swift nixes pseudonym and puts name back on Calvin Harris hit
Taylor Swift is shaking off her songwriter pseudonym on the hit song she co-wrote with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris.
The pop superstar recently confirmed she had penned the lyrics for This Is What You Came For, Calvin's latest collaboration with Rihanna, after initially trying to keep her involvement in the track a secret by having it credited to her pseudonym, Nils Sjoberg.
The truth was only revealed after reports suggested a dispute over the the song had led to the end of Taylor and Calvin's relationship, after the DJ dismissed the idea of teaming up with the singer in the studio during a radio interview on the day of the single's April (16) release.
The denial is said to have been the "breaking point in the relationship", and they split in late May (16).
Now the Style star has apparently changed her mind about having her real name listed on the track, and has had the credits altered to reflect her true identity.
On the database for BMI, the organisation which protects licences for songwriters, Taylor's name is now clearly stated in the writing credits for the tune instead of Nils Sjoberg.
However, Taylor's Sjoberg pseudonym is still listed on the ASCAP database, a similar site for credit listings and performance rights.
While it's unclear what Taylor's intentions were in officially changing the co-writing credit to her real name, the move comes after Calvin took aim at his ex for trying to make him "look bad" after her rep confirmed her involvement in the song.
He took to Twitter last week (ends15Jul16) to insist he wasn't the one who wanted to keep her contributions a secret, and expressed his disappointment in her publicists, who appeared to have spun the story to discredit the dance star.
He wrote, "Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though".
He also touched on Taylor's rebound romance with Thor actor Tom Hiddleston, who she began dating just days after parting ways with Calvin, and took a swipe at the singer for attempting to "bury" him, like Katy Perry, her pop nemesis.
"I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do," the DJ continued. "I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it."

To those who are reading, please excuse the vagueness of this post. It refers to a project we've been given in the subject I am studying. If you didn't read about this earlier, all is explained in my 'An Interesting Conundrum' post. My response to the tutor below is purposefully generalised for the reasons expressed in the link above.
'winged inspiration' by EladeManu is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) license.
In light of this week's writing task, can you think of other ways you might add value for your readers?
When we were asked to create and start a blog for this subject, I included three sections: the home page, an 'about' page and a page for attributions and references to the work I used on my blog that were not my own. At the time, the blog was envisioned to act as a space for me to post my writing during and after studying this subject. But, I do that in a few blog spaces on the web.
So, things have changed since the establishment of this new blog space. I recognised early on that I may not attract readers to my blog if I didn't add other features to create a reason for others to establish a habit of visiting my blog. Sure, at first I might attract much appreciated friends, family and colleagues from my studies, but I want to increase that reach. So, I started thinking about other ways I could enable that to happen. It's still early days, but for future development, I added other sections to my blog to ensure spaces for me to work on extending that reach.
As I wish to remain anonymous on that blog at this stage, those who know the URL of my new blog can see the sections I have added. But, first and foremost, I thought about what would make me return to another's blog if I shared the same passions as the blogger. I decided that I wanted to develop a community around my topic on the blog – those who enjoy the topic I have selected will return often if it is updated on a regular basis, remains timely, and importantly, offers others the chance to share their work, critique one another and interact with and/or listen to experts on the same topic. Even though it will primarily serve as a space for me to publish my work, I thought it'd be beneficial for the entire community I hope to develop if it was also a place to learn from one another.
I'm keeping this response as generalised as possible for the sake of anonymity on my newest blog… enabling that fragmentation that you commented on, L…
I hope to add value to my blog's visitors by:
- hosting regular pod/vid casts to listen to or watch whenever it's convenient
- hosting live chats using a variety of media to engage online
- creating a space for others to post their own work for scrutiny by others with more or less experience in the area
- informing followers when events online and/or in Australia are being held that they might wish to attend
- providing links to other sites that may be of interest, perhaps even invite followers to add their own
- adding reviews on new items or other older items that are still relevant to our interests (these can be written by me, or another member of the anticipated community)
- teaming up with other, relevant organisations to promote their work as well as my own (this will take some effort – networking connections, a reputation and trust will need to be established and developed)
Of course, I know that there are other sites that serve these purposes in the subject area I have selected. But, I hope to somehow differentiate my project by offering a collaborative space, where everybody can contribute and attain that voice I seek to establish in that world.
I am realistic – this will take time and much effort – I study, work full-time and am politically engaged, so this will not happen overnight. My age and life experiences thus far have taught me to be more patient and consistent. However, I do not seek money, I seek a reputation. If money eventuates at some stage, so be it. But, this is primarily a passion I wish to share with others and learn from throughout the experience. It will also provide me with opportunities to research (something I also love) to establish something engaging and worth visiting more than once. I see that I will eventually pay for my own domain, as it evolves from being a blog to a proper website that contains a blog. It's strange – even though money and financial reward are not drivers for me with this project, I find myself exploring and writing up a kind of business plan in my spare time to make this work. I suppose money will eventually become important if I succeed and manage to develop a solid reputation in my chosen area – currently, it's a pipe dream for this pursuit to eventually replace my present work commitments… a new career opportunity, if you will. If my project ever got that far, I would add further features, which could potentially add value to my site's community. I could provide opportunities for others to remediate my work if they wanted to, much like what occurs on Cory Doctorow's Craphound.com.
So, unless some act of unfortunate circumstance befalls me, I hopefully will witness this come to fruition somewhere down the track. Time will tell…

I'm going to update my books from before I started this blog - this was read in Oct 2010
Revealers by Amanda Marrone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a pretty cute book - My favorite thing was the "pet Ghost Balls" :) Jules's mom was a glass blower and made Crystal balls - They found a way to trap ghosts inside the balls and keep them. They usually don't hunt ghosts because they don't hurt people. just annoy them. So what's the problem with capturing them and putting them out on the coffee table? They make cool haunting sounds :)
About the book - Jules has a rebellious streak, a massive crush on Connor, and the abilities of a Revealer witch. By day, she and her coven friends seem like typical high school seniors. By night, they have the power to make werewolves, vampires, and ghosts reveal themselves, so they can destroy them. It's not exactly cheerleading, but at least the girls know they're doing the world some good.
One by one, Jules's friends turn eighteen and are initiated into the coven's inner circle. And one by one, they are getting completely freaked out. Jules is the youngest, and though her friends are too scared tell her what's going on, something's clearly not right. As her birthday approaches, Jules realizes she's got to find out what's behind the shadows of her coven before it's too late to save her friends...and herself. But what she discovers may be too powerful for even the toughest witches to defeat.

When creating a bespoke garden, the design and planning stages are vitally important to ensure that the customer is satisfied upon completion of the project. To begin the design process, our friendly garden landscapers will visit you at your property, whether that be in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, or further afield in the East Midlands. You will then be able to show us the space that you would like us to reinvigorate and inform us of any ideas that you may have for the area.
Our expert designers have a vast knowledge of materials, plants, site conditions and much more and will be able to offer any suggestions or alternative ideas based on what they have heard and seen at this consultation.
Before we go and produce a plan for you, we will then measure the site to make sure that the customer's ideas are possible within the space provided and to also ensure that any existing features that are to be kept are clearly marked out. Once all of these steps have been completed, we can go back to the drawing board to create a plan based on our discussion and your budget and requirements.
The plan will show all elements of the design and their location, whether this is seating areas, terraced areas, plants and shrubbery and even garden lighting. We will always ensure that you are one hundred percent happy with the design before the work begins, and amendments can be made at this point if needed.
Inspiration and Ideas
If you can't quite picture exactly how you'd like your garden to look, or if you're really stuck for any ideas at all, we offer a case study collection to showcase our previous work. This can help to provide inspiration when discussing the more detailed aspects such as planting and paving. As for customers who already have their design ideas, at the end of the consultation, we will have a layout to take back and work on before creating the final outline and planting plan.
Call Eden Landscapes on 01933 652 786 to arrange your initial consultation today, or get in touch via our online contact form.

Clément Sordet secured his second European Challenge Tour title, holding his nerve on the last hole to win the Turkish Airlines Challenge by one shot in Belek.
The Frenchman started the final round as the overnight leader and carded a three under par 69 in his final round at Gloria Golf Club.
Compatriot Matthieu Pavon, who held the lead after Friday's second round, eagled the last hole to draw level on 19 under par after an excellent 66 that kept the tension high until the very end.
Sordet, who won his first title at the 2015 Northern Ireland Open, kept his cool and found the green on the par five 18th hole with his second shot, giving himself two putts for the title from ten feet.
"Unfortunately I hit a bunker shot on the 17th and I knew in the back of my mind that Matthieu was going to finish with an eagle," Sordet, who moved to sixth place in the Road to Oman Rankings, said.
"When I walked off the green I saw he was 19 under and we were level. So it feels pretty good to have made a birdie on the last to win by one shot.
"On the 18th, I was just trying to hit my driver on the fairway and give myself a chance to get on to the green. I hit a perfect drive on the fairway and then a really good second shot.
"I had to make a two-putt from three metres, so I said to myself just push it short and then tap it in.
"The goal of the day was to get to 22 under, I knew that would win for sure. I just had to play some great golf and I think I did. I didn't go as low as I wanted to, but still got the win.
"I'm really proud of what I did with Jim, my caddie, today. We stayed patient and made some really good shots."
2016 looks set to be a remarkable year for the 23 year old who will also take part in this year's Open Championship after his second-place finish in last year's Thailand Championship.
"Thailand helped give me a lot of confidence before a long break for the winter," he said. "I worked a lot on my game but wasn't feeling great at the beginning of the year. But I kept practicing really hard and it has paid off. I feel great."
Englishman Aaron Rai carded a final round 70 for a career-best third-place finish in Belek. He was joined on 15 under par by Road to Oman Rankings leader Sebastian Soderberg, who opened up a lead of nearly 10,000 points over France's Romain Langasque, who was one shot further back.

This was a first for me-one cake, two themes. One was for a boy who loves sharks. The other for a girl who loves chameleons. This was a rare instance where it came out better than I imagined in my head. I am in love with the chameleons. They are by far the cutest lizard and they were so much fun to make. Then there are 3 different sharks, great white, hammer, and tiger. Super cool! Okay, no weird combos for those of you thinking about it . Like, no farm animals/ballet type deal. :)
