Imam W. Deen Mohammed, son of the Nation of Islam's Elijah Muhammad, last week held his annual convention to Detroit, with the theme "Have a Winning Spirit for Success."
Amusing. This "Have a Winning Spirit for Success" is merely a copying of those Christian churches and revival meetings and assorted great awakenings where holy-rollers explain that Jesus was simply the first great Motivational Speaker, and that the Royal Road to Riches lies through belief. Believe in Jesus, and your investments, your work, your everything will "pay off" — oh, and if it doesn't, you still have the rest of what is in the Bible as your consolation prize so don't, please, ask that your contributions to this Church of Immaculate Worldly Success be given back.
In another sense, however, getting beyond the con-men, the mountebanks, the preachers-as-megachurch-motivational-speakers, there is a point that can be made. It is this. Islam does not encourage economic success. Islam gets in the way of economic success. Islam actively encourages two things that help explain the dismal economic performance of Muslim states and peoples, broadly speaking (there are always individual exceptions), as well as the fact that despite having received more than ten trillion dollars, the Muslim oil states have yet to build modern economies, but remain rentier states, dependent on Infidel wage-slaves. Not a single Muslim Arab state, for example, manages to build its own highways, its own skyscrapers, its own anything, but relies on the West. Just see how Libya has been throwing fits until Italy agreed to build for it a coastal highway that the Libyans, despite their tens of billions in annual income, just can't manage. Or else they rely on West and East — in Saudi, for example, so many of the buildings are put up by South Korean contractors.
The first reason is inshallah-fatalism. If in every second phrase, you use that term, and if you really believe that at any moment Allah can come in, and exercise his will or his whim, and if all things are decided by him, well then — to the extent that that is truly believed, you are less likely to strive. It will, inshallah, succeed, inshallah, or it will, inshallah, fail. Muslims who can get away, in the West, and are surrounded by non-Muslims, or working with a team of non-Muslims, can perform as non-Muslims to the precise extent that they mentally jettison that inshallah-fatalism. But in Muslim states suffused with Islam, such is not possible, save for the handful of the most advanced, who keep their real views largely to themselves.
The second reason is the habit of mental submission, which Islam encourages. It encourages it because the whole basis of the Total Belief-System is not reason, but authority: you accept what Allah does, without questioning. You follow the human example of Muhammad, without questioning. If Muhammad "marries" little Aisha when she is nine, no need to question that or to question, therefore, the Ayatollah Khomeini when, as virtually his first act, he lowers the marriageable age of girls to nine. If Muhammad said this about the Unbelievers, or did this to them, because Muhammad is the Perfect Man, al-insan al-kamil, what he did, at the Khaybar Oasis, with the Banu Qurayza, with Asma bint Marwan, with the Meccans in his breach of the treaty of Al-Hudaibiyya, are not only fine, but positively exemplary.
Look at Saudi Arabia. Who works? The Filipinos, the Thais, the Sri Lankans, the Indian girls, in the palaces and houses of Saudis. The Indian laborers (with some Pakistanis, too, non-Arab Muslims who can and are treated contemptuously). The South Korean contractors. At the upper levels, the West Europeans and North Americans who provide the advanced medical care, teachers, and so on, with a few Arabs — or even Lebanese Christians who know Arabic as native — in the mix.
What do the Saudis do all day?
Check the Dow, check the Nasqad, check the Footsie, check the Nikkei, check the Hang Seng. Get on the phone, and move money around, or try to buy this or that in the West: a factory, a company, a mover-and-shaker in Washington, an estate in Aspen, a Plantagenet hunting lodge in Sussex, an apartment on the Avenue Foch, or order a 350-foot yacht, or another specially-outfitted 747. And then there is all that important work to do, meeting with "Western consultants" about some new grand scheme, say those five or six so-called "Economic Cities" that the Saudis are building, and about which you can read in those comical multi-page advertisements that the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs like to take out in The Economist or The Financial Times or even The New Duranty Times, with pictures of those dishdasha'ed and often sinister-looking and grossly overweight Al-Thanis and al-Saudis and Al-Maktoums e tutti quanti, with their big plans, their whirling skyscrapers rising high, higher, highest, and the nothingness of it all, the phoniness of it all, the absurdity of it all, unconnected to any enterprise or industry by the people who happen merely to have been the beneficiaries of completely unmerited wealth. Take away that accident of geology, and where would any of these places be?
No, if you want "worldly success" — not in the mountebank-and-motivational-speaker sense, but in another sense — whatever you do, stay away from Islam. That is the message that the Infidel governments of this world should be conveying to the inhabitants of the poorer countries. Islam is a prescription for economic paralysis. And partly because Islam stunts the mental growth. Compare Pakistan with India. Compare the economic performance of Hindus and Chinese with the Muslim Malays in Malaysia. Compare the economic performance of the Christian Ibo with the Muslim Hausa, or just compare the Muslim Yoruba with the Christian Yoruba. Everywhere you look, Islam holds people back economically.
That's not the reason for opposing Islam. But it's a good reason to offer to those who might, just might, because they see "religion" as a way to get rich, to think again before checking the box marked "Islam." You need evidence? For god's sake, look at the last 1350 years. Look at the last century. Look at the last decade.

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Makes about 3 cups
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 1 cup raw walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup croutons (preferably homemade, no larger than hazelnuts)
- Preheat your oven to 275° F. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the hazelnuts, walnuts, and pine nuts with the oil, and tomato paste, Parmesan cheese, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, dried basil, fresh oregano, fennel seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat (or parchment) and place the nut mixture on the sheet. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, tossing three times during baking—the pine nuts will be golden and the tomato paste crusty when they are done. As soon as the nuts come out of the oven, mix in the spice mixture and croutons. Let them cool completely before serving (or move to an airtight container for storage).

Steer Your Business into a Successful Future with These Values By Josh Yudell Whether you run a small business or manage a multi-million dollar corporation with hundreds of staff, there are certain management and business values that will drive your business into a solid and successful future. Without incorporating these values into your daily management practices, you may find your team is unproductive, or your small business fails. These values or principles act as ballast for steering your business through the stormy seas of recession by helping you to avoid poor management decisions. Do not run your business aground by ignoring the core values of your business. Instead, keep your business afloat and steering towards the island of success by incorporating these values into every management decision. 1. Customer Satisfaction - Customer satisfaction as a primal value for decision making means you go beyond having a customer focus and strive for every customer to be entirely satisfied with both the product and the customer service your business provides. Keeping customer satisfaction as a key value for your business will ensure you make decisions that make your customers happy; keeping the goodwill of customers and gaining return business, shares Josh Yudell. Without loyal customers, your business will certainly sink. 2. Personal Responsibility - Making personal responsibility value for the business is not only about taking personal responsibility when a customer is unsatisfied with your product or service, but also about encouraging a work culture where staff can also take personal responsibility for mistakes, learn from mistakes, and move forward, without fear of judgement. You cannot have a captain who continually steers into the treacherous shallow waters, without learning from his mistakes, or his ship will sink. Instilling a work culture of personal responsibility means that managers have to make some tough decisions in some performance reviews of individual staff members who refuse to take personal responsibility for actions. However, a culture of personal responsibility also gives managers a chance to build on the skills and experiences of the staff, as individuals learn to take on personal responsibility and therefore pride in their own work, explains Josh Yudell. 3. Team Achievement - Encouraging a strong unity and cohesiveness of a business team by celebrating all achievements as a team effort will certainly steer your business safely past the shoals of personal conflicts that can destroy a business. As a manager or a small business owner, you need to give credit to your team when it is due.
If you win a new contract, or an existing customer places a larger order for the future, congratulate your team on the outstanding customer service that made the win for the business possible. This will not only encourage teamwork, unity, and cohesive pride in the business, but will mean your business is able to retain loyal staff members for many years. 4. Innovation and Creative Thinking - Do not steer your business into a stagnant pool with nowhere to go. Businesses that allow creative thinking, encourage innovations, and move beyond the ebb and flow of daily business activities to develop an exciting future with innovative new products, processes, or even ways of thinking, will survive the storm of the recession. Beyond the recession, creative thinking and innovation will build a secure future for the business in a world that is constantly changing. Innovation means you are not paddling furiously just to keep up with your competitors: it means you will be leading the way. 5. Integrity Without integrity any business will eventually sink. Integrity means being truthful, valuing fairness, and making ethical business decisions. Integrity means you can steer past corporate treachery and sail a straight line without fear of the consequences, explains Josh Yudell. Cheaters never prosper in the end, so build integrity as a key value into all your business decisions as a wise captain of your business. 6. Excellence Valuing excellence means your business is continually looking for improvements and building a better, stronger, quality business. Customer satisfaction stems from the excellence of the product and excellent customer service. Putting excellence as a key value for your crew to live up to means you have high expectations and standards. Pursuing excellence may be a never-ending journey, but all the improvements along the way will strengthen and prepare your business for the next part of the journey. Incorporating these six business values: customer satisfaction, personal responsibility, team achievement, innovation and creative thinking, integrity, and excellence into every business management decision you make will ensure you steer your business ship past the treacherous seas and the storm of recession into a successful future.

A US lawmaker has praised the contribution of the Indian American community in the US state of Arizona, in particular the 'India Plaza' in the city of Tempe.
"Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognise the many contributions of the India Plaza to the city of Tempe. The India Plaza has been a strong and distinctive feature in the Tempe community since 2003.
"The plaza serves as a window into the Indian culture, showcasing India's food, clothing, music and hospitality," Congressman Harry Mitchell said on the floor of the House of Representatives.
"Since its beginnings, the plaza has continuously thrived. Its business owners and employees have partnered with local charities and been active in the Tempe Chamber of Commerce. Those same merchants also worked to create a safer environment by promoting the addition of crosswalk and signal access near the plaza," he said.
"I am truly privileged to represent such a strong cultural fixture in our district and will continue to treasure the plaza's addition to Tempe's diversity," he said."As many in the Indian community decorate their homes with lights, share sweets and start the new financial year in celebration of Diwali, I am honored to share in their celebration. Again, I am proud to serve the India Plaza and am eager to see its continued success and growth," Mitchell said.

Soldotna's Brad Duwe keeps a Dimond player from the puck in the first period Friday at the Soldotna Sports Center.
Photo by M. Scott Moon
Soldotna coach Kyle Howell knew his team was improving when the Stars valiantly fought their way to a 2-1 loss to three-time defending 4A state champion South in mid-November.
After dropping another 3-2 heartbreaker to visiting Dimond on Friday night, he could sense a change, a feeling that his team was on the cusp of competing at the caliber of the traditionally dominant Anchorage schools.
"I'd sure like to steal one from the Anchorage teams, though," Howell said following the loss to the Lynx. "But one goal, we're right there."
The breakthrough occurred sooner than some may have thought.
Not Howell, though.
Again overcoming an early 1-0 deficit to Service on Saturday, the Stars received the tying goal from freshman Brad Duwe and senior Clayton Glick added the game winner with 36 seconds remaining in propelling Soldotna to a groundbreaking 2-1 victory over the Cougars, the Stars first-ever win over Service.
"I thought we could win this game. I really did. I thought we've improved a lot," Howell said, citing a 3-1 setback to the Cougars earlier this season. "I'm just pretty excited. The kids really worked hard. They deserved to steal one."
Logan Rounds staked Service to a one-goal lead when he beat SoHi goalie Mike McGrath (25 saves on 26 shots) with 1:02 to play in the first period.
But as the Stars (11-7) showed against South, when they fell behind 1-0 before knotting the game, and again versus Dimond, trimming a two-goal deficit to one late in the final period, the word quit doesn't exist in their vocabulary.
Friday, Duwe tied the game off assists from Glick and Jake Pokryfki with about two minutes to play in the second.
And as the game was on course to enter overtime, Soldotna grabbed a two-man advantage with one minute to play.
They weren't about to let this golden opportunity slip through the cracks, either.
Daniel Markstrom and Duwe found Glick, who beat the Service goaltender for the winning tally with just 36 ticks remaining on the clock.
"I think this is good. We've had an excellent weekend. ... This is perfect to roll into our week with our region games and right into the region tournament," Howell said. "I think this will help us out a lot. It will give us some confidence."
The setback on Friday clearly did exactly that.
Despite recording half as many shots as the undefeated Lynx, SoHi held its own for most of the game and nearly evened the score on numerous occasions. But once again, the Stars came up just shy.
"If we make state, we'll see," Howell said of a rematch with Dimond. "If you end up losing in the region championship, that's probably the team you're going to see off the get-go.
"I'd rather be the No. 1 seed and play somebody a little weaker. But, yeah, I'd do it again."
With only two conference games remaining against Homer and Kenai, Soldotna sits comfortably in second place of the North Star Conference at 6-2, just one game behind league-leading Wasilla, whose only loss came against SoHi.
Dimond, on the other hand, is cruising. Ranked No. 1 in the state at 20-0, the Lynx hold the patented goal of winning a state title, something they haven't accomplished since 2001.

And with only two games remaining after handling Kenai, 10-0, at the Soldotna Sports Center on Saturday, the first undefeated season in program history is within reach.
But having finished second three years in a row and five out of the last six seasons four of those were one-goal losses anything short of a championship would be a disappointment.
"Every year we do, we go in thinking that," Dimond coach Dennis Sorenson said of capturing the 4A crown. "The unfortunate thing is the last three years, we've been runner-up and it's kind of sour."
It did on Friday, but not without a little scare.
The New England Patriots of Alaska high school hockey snagged a 1-0 lead just 5:21 into the game when Nolan Youngmun stole the puck behind SoHi's net and promptly fed Erik Cooper in front for an easy one-timer.
But the Stars' never-say-die attitude emerged with 3:17 to play in the frame when Duwe also pilfered the puck behind the net and centered it to a wide-open Markstrom, who lifted it over Dimond goalie Mickey Geraghty's left shoulder for a 1-1 game.
"Our team has really developed the character. Palmer kept jumping on us and we never quit against Palmer. That's the one thing about them, we don't fold under the pressure, the kids keep coming and keep going," Howell said. "At one point you're sitting there and you're thinking, 'Ah, which way is this going to go?' They fought their way through there."
After outshooting the Stars 12-4 in the first but emerging with just one tally, Dimond came out firing in the second, recording a goal just 3:34 into the period albeit with a little luck.
When Austen Burgh's shot from the point sailed to the left of McGrath, it fortuitously bounced off the boards and directly to Scott Wamsganz, who was perfectly positioned on the near post. After easily corralling the rebound, Wamsganz lifted the rubber into the far netting past McGrath, who was still on the other side of the pipes.
McGrath kept the Stars in the game late into the second, denying a plethora of solid opportunities on the doorstep with roughly eight minutes to play and turning away the puck on another scrum just more than three minutes later.
He even stopped a breakaway by Youngmun with 3:35 to play, stoning the sophomore, who took a football-like pass from Dimond's own end.
But McGrath could do only so much.
And Youngmun could be contained for only so long.
Only 39 seconds after the failed breakaway, Youngmun received a pass just inside SoHi's blue line, beat the defense around the right side and again found himself one-on-one with the SoHi goalie .
This time, however, he delivered, wristing the puck past a sprawling McGrath and into the far corner of the net for a commanding 3-1 advantage.
Yet again, though, Soldotna fought back as Anton Olson won a faceoff in the Lynx zone and dropped the puck to a waiting Branden Fisher with seven minutes remaining.
Fisher quickly rifled a shot through the defense. The puck somehow found its way past Geraghty and into the back of the net.
After single-handedly keeping his team alive in the loss to South with an incredible 50 saves on 52 shots, 27 of those shots coming in the second period, McGrath again proved he's one of the state's best, too, turning away 37-of-40 shots on the evening.
And it didn't surprise Sorenson one bit, as McGrath was enrolled at Dimond to begin this year before transferring 170 miles South to Soldotna.
"He knew the pecking order at Dimond was tough with Geraghty, who is the top goalie, and (Neil) Gotschall. We rotate our goalies every other game, and he knew he'd be the No.3 goalie. He's an excellent goalie and a great kid. He's a senior and he wanted to play and I've got a senior and a junior that were ahead of him. You can't blame a kid for that," he explained. "He made a choice and it worked out for him in hockey and academically. He's doing great. He had 40 saves or so and a couple from his bottom and he was reaching up in the air. He did a great job.
"But we see him in the comp leagues. So, we're well aware of who he is and how he plays."
The Lynx now know how the Stars play, too.
"I expect Soldotna to get in (to state)," he said. "I expect Soldotna and Wasilla out of that conference to get in."
After the Stars' monumental win on Saturday, Anchorage opponents should officially be wary.

Congratulations to the 2011 NFL PLAY 60 Super Bowl Contest winner for the Minnesota Vikings -- Leo!
Leo is 10 years old, and is from Hudson, Wisconsin. As part of his prize, Leo is going to a Packers home game this season. We interviewed Leo to get some tips on what it's like to be a Super Kid!
1. How did it feel to find out you won our 2011 NFL PLAY 60 Super Bowl Contest?
Fantastic! I was excited to win. I am looking forward to attending the game.
2. What do you do to get 60 minutes of activity a day?
I like playing all different types of sports, including football, wrestling, baseball, running, hiking, swimming, basketball and riding my bike. I like to spend my free time playing outside. My dad coaches my football and wrestling teams, so we enjoy being active together. My mom, uncle and aunt like to run with me so we do 5K's together. For me, being active is just part of our daily life!
3. What is your favorite healthy breakfast?
I like to start my day with "toad in the hole" (eggs and toast), watermelon, and a glass of milk.
Go to http://www.nflrush.com/superkid for your chance to be a 2012 Super Bowl Contest winner. You could win tickets to a game for your home team, or the GRAND PRIZE -- running the ball onto the field to kick off Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans!

And breathe…
Over a year ago I was a discouraged writer wondering if a publisher would ever represent me. Fortunately for me the wait is over. The Water Cave has been out just shy of two weeks and it still does not seem real. No matter how many times I wanted to quit trying there was a still small voice in my head urging me to push on. For those of you who write you know what a devastating blow it can be to have your writing rejected, even if you know it is bound to happen. You are left vulnerable to what someone may say about the very thing you have poured your heart into.
But through the rejection, discouragement, and trials there were many of you who kept me going. For those of you who have supported me, this post is for you. Thank you for being there during my frustrations, my insecurities, my failure, and even during my triumphs. Because of your kindness I can now breathe and push onward to the next step in this amazing journey.
Until next time…
God bless,
It is finally here! I never thought this day would come but God led me, I followed, and He remained loyal. It is an amazing feeling to be here with this piece of work that took many hours, days, months, and years of my time. Never give up on a dream, especially when that dream is lead by God.
For those interested in supporting a new author please check my book at at:
God Bless!
Coming full circle
When I started this blog which finally became my author web page I was conflicted. I truly wondered if I would ever see the day that my works would been seen in print, bound by a beautiful cover. I wondered if someone could read my words and say, yeah I want to be a part of this manuscript and see this thing through.
Week after week went by. Those weeks turned into months, the months into a couple of years. I had all but given up hope that someone would see potential in my writing and be willing to walk me through the long publishing process.
But it happened, and now here we are nine days, yes NINE days, away from the release of my first novel The Water Cave. It's almost too much for my mind to comprehend. Coming full circle in this whole process has taught me a lot but mostly I have learned that God is good and he had a plan all along even if I had given up and lost hope, He hadn't.
Three weeks from today The Water Cave will be released. I am so humbled by this entire experience and I believe the best is yet to come. There will be book blogs tours, Facebook parties, giveaways, and book signings but what I look most forward to is getting to know each and every one of you a little bit better. My hopes are we will become closer and you can help me grow as an artist. Prior to the book release I plan to have a cover release via Facebook (assuming I have it before then). I appreciate your love and support up until this point and I will be just as grateful in the future.
Love Always,
People are people
I mean we know that right? People are people, we disappoint those we love, we become disappointed by loved ones. We quickly become angry with people who believe differently than we do. If your religious beliefs don't align with what someone else believes then instantly there is a divide. We get angry with others because of their political parties, how they spend their personal time, and because they are not who we want them to be.
It is incredibly sad there is such a divide in our society. I wish I could say I was not guilty of being just like those I described, but I am. I'm judgmental, hurtful, have strong religious beliefs, and at times can be down right difficult to deal with. (Those who know me are nodding their heads right now.)
Aren't many of us difficult to deal with, strong in what we believe, hurtful at times? Why then, I wonder, are our beliefs more important than anyone else (if we ourselves are no different than those we become frustrated with)? Our world is in distress we must make a change.
I want to live in a world where we can love everyone no matter their past, no matter their behavior, no matter what. Maybe the key lies within us, maybe it can can start with me and you. What if we show love to those who spew hate? Love those who have absolutely no idea how hurtful they can be. And maybe just maybe a chain reaction of love will occur, of understanding, and hopefully peace. Wouldn't that be nice?

'Why are her killers walking free? Why are they walking the streets?'
Mother of Bernie Cash demands answers at inquest into the death of her daughter who died from head injuries
THE mother of a young woman who was found dead from head injuries pleaded with the Dublin coroner to tell her why her daughter's "killers" are still walking the streets.
Bridget O'Brien was speaking at the opening of the inquest into the death of Bernadette Cash who was found dead at her home at Warrenstown Walk, Mulhuddart, Dublin 15 on October 31 last year.
The 20-year-old mother of one, who was a member of the Travelling community, was discovered by paramedics at the house in mid-morning. She had been dead for several hours. Gardaí believe that she may have been attacked during a party.
Seeking an adjournment of the inquest, Detective Inspector Colm Murphy of Finglas Garda Station confirmed that the death is the subject of a criminal investigation and inquiries are ongoing.
Giving evidence, Mrs O'Brien said that she identified the body of her daughter at Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown to Garda Martina Drew. She told the court that the house where the body was discovered had formerly been her own home.
Coroner Dr Brian Farrell said that the post-mortem was carried out by the deputy state pathologist Dr Michael Curtis and he has given the cause of death as head injuries.
When asked by the coroner if she had any further questions, Mrs O'Brien replied: "Why are her killers walking free? Why are they walking the streets?" she said.
Dr Farrell said that it would not be appropriate for him to say anything more in relation to the matter because gardaí are actively investigating the death. He asked Det Insp Murphy to speak to Mrs O'Brien following the hearing and extended his sympathies to the family.
The inquest was adjourned for further mention on June 6.

The Stretch Run Is Now for the Milwaukee BrewersJuly 21, 2009
As of last night, none of them had a record over .500.
It's an outstanding chance for the Brewers, who have the easiest schedule of any National League team, to gain ground on the rest of the division and have a solid cushion come September.
Over this span of a month and a week, the Brewers' lackluster pitching staff will have a chance to dominate against some of the worst offenses in the National League. The best offense they will face is the Atlanta Braves, who rank just seventh in the National League in runs scored.
The Brewers' offense will need to come around and give the pitching staff extra run support if they want to succeed in this stretch.
In that span, they will face four pitching staffs in the top 10 in ERA in the National League, but also face the Padres (15th) and the Nationals (16th). Let's take a look at each of the matchups the Brewers will be taking on and how they can fare.
Pittsburgh Pirates: 41-51
The Brewers lost last night's game to the Pirates, which ended a drought of over a year that the Bucs had not come out on top. In the remaining eight games, five will be played at PNC Park and the other three will be at Miller Park.
I believe the Brewers should be able to take three of five on the road from the struggling Pirates and should be able to sweep one of the worst road teams in baseball at Miller Park. Six out of eight wins is easily doable for a Brewers team that has had the Pirates' number for quite some time.
Washington Nationals: 26-66
The Brewers will play a pair of four-game series against the worst team in baseball in this span and I do not think it is a stretch to say the Brewers can take seven of these games. There is nothing positive going for this ballclub right now, and they do not do anything well.
The Brewers will send their top four in the rotation at the Nationals when the two teams meet at Miller Park. Washington has been swept an unbelievable ten times this year and has won a series just six times all year. Seven out of eight wins might sound crazy for the Brewers right now, but it could happen pretty easily.
Atlanta Braves: 47-46
The Braves are playing very well right now and are trying to catch up to the red-hot Phillies in the NL East. Unfortunately for the Brewers, the Braves will send their three best pitchers to the hill in Miller Park next week in Tommy Hanson, Derek Lowe, and Javier Vazquez.
Atlanta has been decent on the road this year and they are a team the Brewers have had trouble with this year. I'd like to see two wins here, but I think the Brewers will come out with just one.
San Diego Padres: 37-56
Had it not been for the Nationals' historically bad season, the San Diego Padres would be the laughing stock of the National League. They currently sit 22 games out of first place and, despite playing average baseball at home, can not do anything on the road.
For the three games at Miller Park, look for the Brewers to come out playing great baseball against one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. Four of six games going to the Brewers looks to be a good estimate against a pretty bad Padres team.
Houston Astros: 47-46
The Astros are playing very good baseball right now and are tied with the Brewers in third place as it stands right now. After taking four out of six games in Houston, the Brewers will play the Astros three times at Miller Park and go back to Minute Maid Park again for three.
With the 'Stros playing good ball right now, I could see a split coming in the six games these two teams will play. Houston pitching has been picking it up lately and will keep them in close games.
Cincinnati Reds: 44-48
The three games the Brewers play against the Reds in this span will all come at home, which should bode well for the hometown Brewers. Milwaukee was 4-2 against the Reds at Miller Park and should be able to take two of three from the Reds when they come to town.
Assuming the Brewers are able to take one game from the Dodgers in their three game set, I can see the Brewers going 24-13 in this span, give or take a game. Just because the talent level is down does not mean the Brewers will be able to sit back and relax.
They are playing terrible baseball at the moment and will need to pick things up if they want to have a chance. However, when they play their brand of baseball and are on, runs like these are more than capable of happening. Twenty-four wins over this five week span would put the Brewers at 71-59 and likely in first place.
The Cubs will play the Phillies six times, the Dodgers four times, the Rockies four times, and the (hopefully healthy) Mets three times before September. The Cardinals will play the Phillies three times and the Dodgers seven times in that span as well.
The race should be tight because it seems like none of the three teams wants to gain any ground on the other. But the Brewers need to strike now while the competition is not hot because in September, things heat up quickly. In the season's last month, Milwaukee will play 29 of their last 32 games against teams with a record currently over .500.
If the Brewers are not up at least two games by the end of August, there will be no point in watching in September.

Zeke – Telepathy Boy lyrics
Telepathy boy [x2]
The way I look,
The way I feel
The way I comb my hair
The way I look behind your eyes
And tell you what to hear
Telepathy boy [x2]
The way I eat
The way I bruise
The way I scare
The way I look inside your mind
And tell you what to hear
Telepathy boy [x6]

So a while back I fed my beauty obsession. Just a little snack since you know we ARE in a recession. I've been hearing whispers about these products and decided to give them a try.
Definitely not what I thought it would be. It takes a lot of swipes across my cheek before I actually see a hit of glitter. No blush. Maybe it's too light for my complexion. Oh well, too late now. I just heard about the NARS Illuminator. I suppose it is like a liquid bronzer. I want to try it but I'm not okay with the price. I have one high-end product and that's it for now. Lucy disapproves.
I LOVE THIS THING!!!! I mean I use it as a bronzer all over my body. I feel like a queeeeen to beeee with it on. I also love putting it on my collerbone. I just be shinning! Lucy approves!
3. Alba Acnedote Deep Pore Wash
Not a fan. I tried it because yet and still, I do not have a face wash that I am a fan of and that actually works. And this claims to be a natural product. I've been using it for weeks and have not seen any improvement on my skin. Lucy disapproves.
Yay for this! I've been trying to find a good concealer. I'm lying. I've been using my foundation as concealer. Major fail. My sister told me about this one. Of course I use a darker shade (CS09). It's pretty fabulous for me. I hate putting too much work in applying makeup and the stick is simple. Just swipe right under your eyebrow or under your eyes. Clean and easy, no mess. Cheap too. Only thing is that I had to travel around the world to find it. For some reason, Walmart, Target nor Sally's sold it. I found it at a beauty supply store. Lucy approves!
5. MAC Loud and Lovely Cremesheen Glass
I really need to slow down on using this product. At $19, you'd think I'd take my time but I love it so much. It's smooth, not sticky and it looks great on my lips. Mind you, I have naturally dark lips and it still comes out with a pink tint. Lucy approves!
6. Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes
My friend always wears these and I was super jealz and had to have them lol. Coocoo. I love false lashes but I haven't really been a fan of strip ones. More so because I didn't know how to apply them myself (and still don't. I finally found them at Sally's and my sister put them on for me. But if you'd like a good tutorial, this girl from youtube has an ok one. See here.
Unfortunately they only lasted for that day. I guess I slept on my face too hard because when I woke up, they were NOT curled anymore. My right eye was totally flat. My sister said she doesn't use the lash grip glue that comes with it. Not sure if that would've made a difference. I approve of the lashes. I just hate that they only lasted one night. But I will try it again with a different glue and see what happens.
4/6 approves is not too bad. Have you tried any of these products? Like? No like?

The highly anticipated and widely followed product launches of the West generally belong to smartphones and gadgets. The hysteria and hype over the launch of, say a new iPhone, is unparalleled. But recently Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, took the stage in front of a cheering and bubbling crowd of journalists and customers to unveil an electric sedan vehicle dubbed Model 3. The cheers were for the man, who is highly respected worldwide for his futuristic vision of mankind, and for the 'product' itself: a sassy, all-electric, self-driving and affordable sedan car that promises to seduce the world away from fossil fuels.
Elon and Tesla:
Model 3:
Judging by the above specifications and the initial reviews pouring in from websites, the Model 3 does seem to have live up to its intended goal of making electric cars cool and mainstream. The price of the car is enticing enough for a middle-class user to buy it, especially in the US where electric cars are given subsidies by the government. As of now, Tesla Motors is taking preorders at a down-payment of $1,000, and not surprisingly, it has amassed orders worth $7.5 billion within 24 hours of going on sale.
Headed to India:
The Model 3 is also the first Tesla to be coming to India! Confirmed by Elon Musk himself on Twitter, the snazzy electric car, in all probability, is headed to India. This is a great news for Tesla fans and Elon fans, and also a welcome change in the Indian automobile landscape. The entry of Tesla Motors will force other companies to adopt similar technologies, and with financial support from the Indian government, electric cars can become very much conventional in India. This is something which is desperately needed here, given that Indian cities have continuously ranked as world's most polluted cities, and have been forced to adopt drastic measures like Delhi's odd-even.

The Boston Lyric Opera presents Viktor Ullmann's The Emperor of Atlantis or Death Quits Feb 1-6. Greater Boston's Jared Bowen talks to the BLO's Esther Nelson and Steven Lipsitt about the production.
When Esther Nelson took over leadership of the Boston Lyric Opera, she had an interest in exploring the unconventional. As The New York Timespoints out, she accomplished that with terrific success by presenting The Emperor of Atlantis or Death Quits, which opened Tuesday night at the Boston Center for the Art's Calderwood Pavilion.
Written in the Terezin Concentration Camp in 1943 by Viktor Ullmann, The Emperor of Atlantis or Death Quits is a remarkably humorous and hopeful story about Emperor Überall, a thinly disguised portrait of Adolph Hitler.
The Emperor declares war on all mankind, but Death, sensing his worth is plummeting in an age of modern warfare, essentially takes a holiday. Love takes over on the battlefields, there is despair among the wounded who cannot die, and consequently, the emperor is undermined.
This is a new English translation of the work, which is rarely performed in the United States. For the occasion, the Boston Lyric Opera has also commissioned a prologue titled The After-Image, about a woman's remembrance of her father as a young soldier. Combined, the two pieces page for an exceptional evening and truly brilliant programming.
The follow are excerpts from a Greater Boston interview with BLO artistic director Esther Nelson and conductor Steven Lipsitt.
On first discovering The Emperor of Atlantis or Death Quits
Esther Nelson: I was familiar with the piece since the 80s when I heard about it as part of a movement called Recovered Voices, that was trying to bring back to life works of composers who either were victimized or perished in the Holocaust. There are a great number of them. This is the largest work to came out of the Terezin camp.
On producing Emperorat the Calderwood Pavilion.
EN: I felt that we needed to do something that was in a venue that allowed for a more experimental approach. So we turned the Pavilion into a sort of non-functioning theater because Terezin in 1944, where this was supposed to be performed, was no longer functioning.
David Schweizer, the director, had the absolutely right approach to turn the Calderwood Pavilion into a place that gave you the sense that some things aren't quite right. But then there is this brilliant work right in the middle of it.
On how Empeorsurvived the Holocaust
Steven Lipsitt: it is an extraordinary accomplishment. Terezin had an extraordinary cultural life, including artwork, literature, and poetry, because intentionally artists were dispatched there.
At first the artists developed it underground, but the Nazis eventually permitted it because they realized it was keeping the inmate population under a kind of control. Then they actually exploited it and used it as a model camp… a show camp. They had the Danish Red Cross visit and said, look, we are keeping these intellectual, artistic, scholarly Jews out of harm's way during the war.
For the Jews in the camp, it was a crucial expression. All of the music he wrote, about 20 scores in the two years or so that he was in the camp, survived… as did his writing, including his essays, his journals, and reviews of performances in the camp. It is an extraordinary legacy.
In the last minute in October of 1944, when he was about to go on a transport to Auschwitz, he thought maybe he won't survive. He gave the whole bundle of scores and writings to a friend. They ended up in London, and for 30 years were thought lost. Most of his colleague musicians thought he had taken the scores with him. So when he was murdered, they assumed the material was lost.
The score was rediscovered In London in an attic in the early 70s. A musician named Kerry Woodward made a performing edition immediately as soon as he realized what he had. The work has been on the periphery of the repertoire since.
On why Emperor is ultimately hopeful
EN: That is the miraculous part, that under those circumstances Ullmann and the young poet who was in his mid-20s, Peter King, were able to create a work of such hope. It's poignant, and it's by all means tragic in many ways.
You might wonder in the end, were they implying that Death, in fact, is the solution that you might hope for at that stage. Because death in this opera is the one that provides. He is no longer part of the Emperor's crazy idea of total war.
In the end, it's about love: redemption through love and death being a part of life. Without that, we cannot function, and we have lost our souls. It's cathartic at the end, and it leaves you hopeful and in peace.

|From texture - misc.
There are a lot of problems in the neighborhoods when it comes to police actions, bar patrons and keeping the peace. Often, the innocent wonder about "enforcment." This story, because it includes a Steeler, might become a new benchmark to watch.
What's going on?
How come some get charged and others don't?
What went down?
Can the neighborhoods get the same type of 'protection' that is dished out at Station Square?
I don't know the answers. But, the incident might open up a big can of worms. And, this chatter and understanding is welcomed on some fronts.

Cricket gets serious in the US againMarch 25th, 2009 - 4:39 pm ICT by ANI
Florida (US), Mar.25 (ANI): The game of cricket is getting serious attention again in the United States these days, more than a century after it first made its presence felt in the region.
Players taking part in the recently held American College Spring Break Cricket Championship in Florida feel they have brought the sport one step closer into the American mainstream. Though cricket counts its fans by the billion worldwide, the sport does not register a pulse in the United States.
Of the five teams in attendance at this experimental event last weekend Montgomery, from Maryland; Boston University; Carnegie Mellon, from Pittsburgh; the University of South Florida and the University of Miami, none have club team status, and the sport is not officially recognized by the N.C.A.A. This is an opportunity for us to really show athletic directors at a Division I level that cricket matters, cricket is a big sport and cricket has a marketing capability in this country, the New York Times quoted Sumantro Das, an all-rounder and junior at Boston University, as saying.
Nearly 60 players drove or flew at their own expense to the lush cricket pitches of Central Broward Regional Park and played Twenty20, a version of cricket in which many stuffy traditions are left behind and matches are completed in about three hours instead of taking up to five days.
The only custom-built cricket stadium in the United States stands in this park, but securing the 5,000-seat facility was far too rich a luxury for the tournaments shoestring budget.
Competing on the parks manicured fields was already an upgrade over the converted soccer fields and tennis courts the players were used to.
Lloyd Jodah, the founder and president of American College Cricket, said the idea for the college tournament came to him last year as he campaigned to have cricket included in the Olympics.
Standing on Wall Street with a cricket bat in one hand and petitions in the other, Jodah, 50, an immigrant from Guyana who works selling health club memberships, met Kalpesh Patel, a Jamaican business student from the University of Miami.
Once Jodah heard how difficult it was for college cricketers to find regular games, he began toying with the idea of a nation-wide organization for collegiate clubs and founded American College Cricket. He made a group on Facebook as a way to reach out to players.
Jodah and Nino DiLoreto, 62, a former soccer player from Abruzzi, Italy, spent many evenings tracking down college cricket players, and the group swelled to more than 500 members.
At the Boston University Cricket Club, expenses for the trip became the subject of six- and seven-hour meetings. After much deliberation, and financial help from the university, the roughly dozen members agreed that the opportunity to play for a long weekend was worth 400 dollars each. Unlike a couple of the teams, which had snazzy uniforms, the University of South Florida contingent did not even have a team until a few weeks ago. They were just a few guys who played a regular pickup game. They settled on sweatpants and green T-shirts from the college bookstore. Not having names on their shirts caused a few awkward moments when a player would run to the borrowed picnic table/scorers table with no idea of which of his new team mates was batting next.
But the players all knew the finer points of cricket etiquette.
Nearly all the players were born abroad. And even though the sport had a rich history in the United States until World War II, it is still widely seen here as an obscure game played exclusively by foreigners. Most who play it here are from countries that belonged to the British Commonwealth. (ANI)

Failure can be a great spur to improvement. This autumn David Howell, 18 and England's best young talent, was in the gold-medal position at the start of the final round of the world junior (U20) championship, but played passively, got short of time, and was crushed. A few weeks later Howell was No1 seed in the world U18, and again finished out of the medals. His chronically poor clock management played a major part.
But come his next event, the Dresden Olympiad, and Howell was, along with Nigel Short, the high scorer for England. He followed this up by an impressive 10.5/11 runaway victory in the British Rapidplay at Halifax, a contest which both Short and Michael Adams won en route to the top. His game was creative, his time management improved, and even his insipid Giuoco Pianissimo opening, which cost him the world junior, notched a point in the game below.
This month and next Howell has two more serious tests, first at historic Hastings and then in the C group at Wijk aan Zee. On his latest form, he has a real chance of a further breakthrough and to establish himself firmly in the world top 100. If he achieves that, a challenge in two-to-four years to the supremacy of Adams and Short becomes a realistic target.

That's about 30,000 fewer than economists were expecting and well below the 255,000 jobs added in July and 292,000 hires in June. The national unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent. Many economists say hiring trends tend to be less reliable in August because many Americans are on holidays.

The Intercultural Center (ICC) opened its doors in 2014. The idea for the ICC was established by a group of students who aspired to develop a legacy on campus. Their vision was rooted in a deep respect for each other, social justice work, and the richness and potential of cultural and intellectual diversity at UM-Flint. These students have graduated but their legacy remains through the ICC.
The work of the ICC is grounded in pragmatic imperatives: to spare no effort in making sure that every UM-Flint student feels like they belong on campus and to create informal educational spaces outside of the classroom that promote cross-cultural communication, comfort with ambiguity, and learning.
In 2015, the first goal of the work of the ICC will be to bring a racially and ethnically diverse group of students together to share information and experiences and to cultivate relationships that are rooted in a sense of solidarity in education, respect for history, and understanding of the power and potential of diversity. Our hope is that the work of the ICC will nurture bonds between students, that will not only optimize engagement in the academic rigor of coursework, but provide the critical personal and social support and skill sets that are necessary for student achievement in college and through the alumni years as they work in a profoundly diverse world. We will achieve this goal by providing a space in the ICC for students to gather as well as event and programming opportunities that honor national Hispanic, Native American, African American, Arab American and Asian American History Months as well as the observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The second focus of the work this year is to collect data from students, faculty and staff that will allow us to identifying short, medium and long term goals for the provision of services, programs, advocacy and other offerings in the ICC.
In the 21st century, university students across the US and at UM-Flint are likely to be increasingly diverse and multiracial/multicultural (ethnicity, race, sexual, gender and national identity, religion, language, culture, age, etc), increasingly socially engaged and aware, and increasingly technology and information sharing oriented. In less than 30 years, the majority of the US population will be racial "minorities" and in less than 25 years, the majority of workers in the US will be racial "minorities." Experience working in diverse contexts will be a top 5 work related experience that employers are looking for in the next 5 years. Finally, in the 21st century, projections indicate that margins of inequality could increase across race, class and gender... unless the next generation is committed and prepared to change these projections. In the spirit of the students who founded the ICC and the staff and administration that worked to establish it, we intend to fully commit ourselves to making sure that our students are fully prepared and believe they can change these projections.
