On 24 September 1983, a brutal challenge by Andoni Goikoetxea sidelined Diego Maradona for three months with a broken ankle.
Maradona was in his second season with Barcelona after making a world-record £5 million transfer from Boca Juniors in the summer of 1982. Despite a bout with hepatitis that first season, he helped Barça win the Copa del Rey and finish fourth in the league, leading to high expectations for a season with Maradona in full health.
But that changed when they hosted defending league champions Athletic in September. With Barcelona leading 1-0 and Maradona advancing the ball, Athletic center back Andoni Goikoetxea lunged at the Argentinian from behind, catching his left leg, leaving Maradona crumpled on the pitch with broken ankle. The tackle, called by one commentator "one of the most brutal ever seen in Spanish club soccer," earned Goikoetxea the nickname "the Butcher of Bilbao" (helped by the fact that Goikoetxea had broken leg of Barcelona's Berndt Schuster two years earlier).
Barcelona went on to win the match 4-0, but Maradona missed three months in recovery. Despite his absence, the finished third in the league, one point out of first. Athletic repeated at champions and also won the Copa del Rey, beating Barcelona 1-0.

Western Railroad Discussion > derailment in IllinoisDate: 11/03/11 04:35 derailment in Illinois Author: NS9850 Fox news just broadcast a breaking news story on a derailment in Illinois. If they have their facts straight, and that's a big if this early, it appears to be a collision between two trains and a fire.

Commuters could be offered cheaper early morning fares in an attempt to ease congestion on London's transport network, the Standard reveals today.
Boris Johnson has told officials to explore the possibility of a new pricing structure to encourage more people to travel before the rush-hour.
The cheaper fares would have the added benefit of helping low-paid workers such as cleaners, caterers and security staff who have to travel to their jobs before the peak.
A spokesman for the Mayor said City Hall will be "looking to reward off-peak travellers with cheaper fares".
It is understood that any new pricing system would not be brought in until the Mayor is well into a possible second term. The election is next May.
Aides stressed that discussions are at an early stage and the Mayor is still committed to increasing fares by an average of 5.6 per cent next month to fund his "unprecedented" investment across the network.
The move is a sign that Mr Johnson's team is concerned about Ken Livingstone's pledge to cut fares by seven per cent if elected.
A City Hall source said the Mayor "is curious" about offering a new pricing package, but insisted that "it is not something that will be done if it jeopardises investment in the system or penalises the taxpayer in any way".
But the source added: "The Tube is operating at absolute creaking capacity so we are very interested in finding ways to spread the passenger load more evenly." Mr Johnson last week hinted at the possibility of early morning fares when questioned by Liberal Democrat Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon, who is leader of the transport committee.
Ms Pidgeon has long-advocated a discounted early-morning fare of up to 15 per cent to help low-income workers who travel before the peak.
When asked by Ms Pidgeon if he would consider bringing in lower fares for journeys before rush hour, Mr Johnson replied: "I am looking at that. I am certainly looking at what we can do around variations in some of the times to help people as much as we possibly can."
Ms Pidgeon today said: "London's economy is reliant on an underpaid army of workers, from cleaners to security staff, who get to work before most people have even got out of bed.
"Now more than ever London's lowest paid workers need a helping hand and one small step would be to introduce lower fares for people who travel to work before the rush hour starts.
"Discounted fares for journeys that end before 7.30 would not cost a fortune, but would make a dramatic change to the wallets and purses of London's lowest paid.
"And it may have the benefit of helping with peak capacity too."
A spokesman for the Mayor said: "We intend to build on the success of Oyster and pay-as-you-go by looking to reward off-peak travellers with cheaper fares."
Labour candidate Mr Livingstone this month announced plans to reverse Mr Johnson's near-six per cent rise if he becomes Mayor.
Mr Livingstone originally promised to cut fares by five per cent but he increased the offer to seven per cent in response to a £136 million package for London transport unveiled by Chancellor George Osborne in his autumn statement.

The proceedings were expertly paced. Rather than trudge through redundant solo sets, Meek Mill and Wale simultaneously performed opening duties, and then began to plug the Bawse in and out in a giant set-length medley of hooks, guest verses, and remixes.

When Ricky Rozay made his grand appearance (courtesy of a rising platform flanked by some serious pyrotechnics), it was like Romans getting a glimpse of Caesar. Men raised their mixed drinks and blunts, while ladies shrieked every time the Bawse asked them to.
Speaking of blunts, the Fillmore Miami Beach had clearly beefed up security with regard to the sweet leaf. During rap concerts, the floor in front of the main stage can greatly resemble a Miami version of Cheech and Chong. And last night was no different, aside from a handful of shined flashlights and shouts of "Put it out now!"
DJ Khaled

However, the closer you got to the stage, the thicker the pot smoke grew. Behind the haze, Rick Ross threw his gargantuan frame into thick-tongued poetics that he barked like a rabid dog. DJ Khaled ran out for some guest verses, most notably a full-throated rendition of "All I Do Is Win."
Ross's vocals were notably live and notably robust. That's what separates him from so many other rappers: In addition to being a rhyme spitter and a persona, the Bawse is also a vocalist. And last night his performance hinged as much on his signature delivery as it did the onstage fireworks and his bling flashing in the stage lights.

It's time for a nude post, and although there were a couple of shoots I've seen this week with sexy male models showing everything off I know you guys love seeing the random cock flashing pics from around the web.
I think I have a pretty hot collection for you guys for this one too, with plenty of guys showing off their rather impressive manhoods for the world to enjoy.
You know what amazes me? Just fifteen years ago we didn't have any of this. I'm not very old (in my opinion lol) but I remember a time when seeing a cock was more of a challenge. When I was a teen constantly wanking I had to make do with stolen straight porn mags and one video I copied from my best buddy.
These days, all we have to do is look around the net and you can see hundreds of thousands of complete strangers just showing off their own cocks for the world to enjoy. It's great! lol
Try to imagine a world without cameras on phones, without the ability for all of us to take pics of our junk and upload them. What a boring world that would be lol

The Angels picked eight more players on Tuesday, as the draft continued through the 10th round. They took Taylor Ward and Jahmai Jones with their top two picks on Monday.
The draft continues on Wednesday, through the 40th round.
So far the Angels have taken eight position players and two pitchers. Nine of the 10 picks have been college players.
3rd round, 104th overall, Grayson Long, RHP, Texas A&M. Long blossomed in his junior year after struggling in his first two years in college. According to scouting reports, he has a solid starter's repertoire, but projects more as a back-end starter than an ace.
4th, 135th, Brendon Sanger, OF, Florida A&M. Sanger hit .370 with a .492 OBP this season. In his three-year college career, he drew 112 walks and only struck out 83 times.
5th, 165th, Jared Foster, OF, Louisiana State. Foster played second base and outfield for the Tigers this season. In left field, he made this catch, which gives you an idea of his defensive talent. He hit .284 a .339 on-base percentage with nine homers.

(Banner will apear here)
Two days after the Israeli elections, Islamic State carried out suicide attacks at two mosques in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, murdering around 150 individuals. The day before, an Islamic State offshoot perpetrated a terror attack in Tunisia that killed 23 people, mostly tourists. During the same two-day period, seven people were murdered in an attack in Kathua, India, and 70 bodies were discovered in Damasak, Nigeria. Who heard? During the course of February, 1,977 people were murdered by Jihadists around the globe – all in acts of terror only. And as I write these words, reports are coming in about massacres being carried out by Iraqi-Iranian forces in the city of Tikrit, Iraq.
The night of March 16th: Several Israeli jets fly into Syrian airspace. They head in the direction of Palmyra and then apparently rocket another truck convoy of advanced weaponry bound for Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. After destroying their targets, the Israeli aircraft then turn to fly back to Israel. On the way out, the Syrian army launches Russian-supplied SA-5 anti-aircraft missiles at them. They miss their target but one of the missiles flies off in the direction of Israel. Israel's Arrow 3 missile defense then kicks in. Arrow 3 is designed to intercept ballistic missiles in space but it also logs on to the errant Syrian missile headed for Israel. It could conceivably land in an Israeli community and so the decision is taken to intercept it with Arrow 3, which destroys it in mid-air. The boom is reportedly heard in Jerusalem, and parts of the SA-5, one of Russia's most advanced missiles, also land in neighboring Jordan.
The state's two top leaders have returned from similar missions - Prime Minister Netanyahu went to Moscow and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Washington to determine how Israel can better 'coordinate' strategic policies with Russia and the U.S. There are several urgent reasons for doing so as a new strategic landscape is fast emerging in the region in the wake of the Iranian nuclear deal and the winding down of the Syrian Civil War; and in fact, there is a link between the two.
It was not Israel's finest hour. State Comptroller Yosef Shapira has lambasted both Israel's political and military echelons for their conduct before and during the 'Protective Edge' military campaign against Hamas in Gaza in the summer of 2014. Sixty-eight Israelis and five civilians were killed in the war that was triggered by the Hamas kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz barely received a passing mark. They were all found to be at fault for their failure to prepare to deal with the tunnels dug by Hamas under the border into Israel that cost many Israeli lives.
'One state, two states'! Whatever, it's up to you guys, the Israelis and Palestinians. Whatever they decided would be fine with US President Donald Trump - just make the deal already! Has the new US President just thrown out the window several decades of American support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Over at the UN, American Ambassador Nikki Haley was quick to correct any mistaken impression - the US still backed the two-state scheme. Apparently, the boss sometimes gets carried away with his own rhetoric. Go figure.
That is just what Bibi's friends and foes are now trying to do back in Jerusalem. Channel 10 got the jump on everyone by conducting a snap opinion poll in the wake of Trump's bomb-shell. Where do Israeli voters stand today? The results were startling:
The 'Tehran Children' was a group of about one thousand Jewish children, most of them orphans, who reached Palestine through Iran in February 1943. IsraCast brings you a sequence of photos which show the 'Tehran Children' arriving in Israel.
What's going on? Twice in the last week US President Donald Trump has opposed wide-scale Israeli settlement building on the West Bank. In Israel, Right-wingers have been shocked to the core - Trump and Bibi were supposed to be great pals. They had anticipated that Trump would give Israel the green light for constructing a brand new settlement and adding 5,500 new housing units to existing settlements. Moreover, there is the new controversial law that would enable Israel to legalize homes built on privately owned Palestinian land. But is this promising package is unraveling? In an exclusive interview with Yisrael Hayom, the pro-Netanyahu newspaper, Trump clarified his position:
It was not long in coming – President Trump has signaled Prime Minister Netanyahu to back off on building new settlements or expanding any existing settlements 'beyond their current borders'. In fact, Israel's leader actually triggered the White House response. What did Bibi expect after he announced that Israel would build a brand-new settlement to compensate for the evacuation of the illegal settlement of Amona? For good measure Netanyahu also tacked on 5,500 new housing units to existing settlements on the West Bank! This was the official Trump statement:
Israel's Right wing fervently hopes and believes US President Donald Trump will reverse America's former policy that opposed settlement building in the West Bank. From Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu on down, the Right wingers also trust the US will serve as a bulwark to anti-Israel moves at the UN and in other international forums. A first indicator will be if Trump keeps his campaign pledge to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in the face of bitter Palestinian and Muslim threats. But his credibility is at stake. Could this mean he will, as reported, suffice with some half-measure like moving the Ambassador's official residence to Jerusalem, while the embassy would remain in Tel Aviv?
Trump's Inauguration address focused on his 'America First' theme and bringing back home American jobs. If so, this might trigger a global trade war. Or then again, will Trump's bark prove to be worse than his bite?
On Friday evening, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu rushed off his best wishes to Trump:
'Congratulations to my friend President Trump. I look forward to working closely with you to make the alliance between Israel and America stronger than ever. Shabbat Shalom'.
US President Barack Obama screwed Israel on the UN Security Council Resolution that blamed Israeli settlements solely for the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Granted, Secretary John Kerry has tried to take out some of the sting, but the fact remains Professor Obama presented his damning thesis - 'if only the Israelis had halted the settlements we would have reached an historic peace accord and today the Palestinians and Israelis would be living happily ever after'. This is patently false and does not stand up to a fair and balanced examination of what has transpired since Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat signed the Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn in 1993.
All systems are go for Israel's Air Force to start operational training on their F-35s, touted to be the top fighter-bomber in the world. Israeli top pilots have long been training on simulators and are eager to get inside the cockpit. Maintenance crews have also been burning the midnight oil studying the myriad of hi-tech that comes with the $100 million price tag (although funded by U.S. military aid). Squadron leader IAF Col. Yotam promises the F-35s will go operational within a year. In addition, the IAF has permission to upgrade the F-35 with secret Israeli improvements - the products of Israeli hi-tech that have proved so effective in the F-15 and F-16. In an unguarded moment, the squadron leader went gung ho saying we'll make changes the designers never dreamed about and they won't believe it a year from now.
While only the first two landed at the Nevatim Air base, more and more will be coming. Fifty are now on order. The IAf has dubbed the F-35 in Hebrew by the name of 'Adir' - the Mighty. Israel is the first foreign country to be supplied with the F-35. The rest of America's allies will keep an eagle eye on how successfully the IAF integrates this aircraft. If things go well they can be expected to also start ordering F-35s from Lockheed-Martin. So economically a lot is riding on its going operational in Israel.
In the final days of US President Barack Obama's second term, it is time to sum up his foreign policy. Obama has done his damnedest to keep America out of foreign wars and he succeeded. The question is at what price? Syria will go down as his most deplorable and bloodiest failures. Historians will debate whether Obama's 'leading from behind' approach contributed to the ongoing bloodbath that has dragged on into its sixth year. Aleppo will be remembered as one of the worst international atrocities since World War II. Obama has simply abandoned this hapless city to barbaric Russian and Syrian air strikes, at times with chemical weapons.
Israel is split - The Right is jubilant whereas the Center-Left worries that the election of President Trump will spur the Netanyahu government to build new settlements on the West Bank. There is no question that Netanyahu will be under immense pressure from the far Right to do so. In heralding the Trump victory, Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett leader of the Far Right 'Jewish Home' party declared 'The two-state solution is finished! It is now in our hands to change the course of Israel - to take Israel out of the Oslo perception of a Palestinian state, which has only brought us conflict and bloodshed!'
In Jerusalem, the chairman of the local planning committee at City Hall has announced he will present plans to build 7,000 housing units in territory across the old 1967 line. The fire-brand called Meir Turgeman told Israel Radio that Prime Minister Netanyahu himself froze the plans for one reason or another due to pressure from the Obama administration. However Turgeman added now that Trump has been elected, Netanyahu will have no excuse to intervene. Though, the building plans must first be approved by the Israeli cabinet before the bulldozers start rolling.
Netanyahu who steered clear of expressing support for either Trump or Clinton issued a statement congratulating the President Elect and thanking Clinton for her support in the past. He is obviously delighted that Trump won. It's a safe bet that Bibi will want to cement ties with Trump as soon as possible. Therefore he will not want to arouse Trump's ire with hasty decisions. Bibi has also apparently instructed his Likud cabinet ministers not to go overboard by giving the impression that Trump is now in Israel's pocket. Netanyahu and his colleagues including Naftali Bennett would do well to remember that Trump has risen to power on his 'America First' platform and this will continue to be his prism for all his foreign policy decisions. If anything, policy-makers in Jerusalem must have realized Trump is impulsive and at times totally unpredictable.
Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has offered a major aid package for Gaza, if Hamas suspends its military build-up against the Jewish State. Lieberman sent the surprising message in an interview with the Palestinian newspaper El Kuds. It is not clear at this time if Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli government have approved Lieberman's proposal. If so it would be a major step, otherwise Lieberman was just blowing hot air.
So to the nuts and bolts of his proposal, in his words:
'Israel will be the first to rebuild the Gaza Strip by investing in a seaport, an airport and two industrial zones at Karni and Erez. But there were several conditions: Hamas must stop digging attack tunnels from Gaza into Israel, launching rockets into Israel and smuggling in weapons'.
For its part, Israel had no intention of occupying Gaza or starting another war. But he warned:
'If war is forced on Israel again, it will be the last war for Hamas, we will totally destroy Hamas!'
The Israeli Defense Minister disclosed that Hamas, rather than improving the lot of the nearly two million Palestinians in Gaza, has spent more than $500 million dollars in a military build-up recently. Lieberman appeared to be offering a big carrot and a big stick to Hamas after the bitter summer war of 2014 that left Gaza in a shambles.
Moshe Dayan was an Israeli military warrior who became a crusader for peace. He was skilled in both battle and diplomacy, and played a key role in four wars, but also helped negotiate the historic Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.
Ron Arad was captured after answering a call for reserve duty as a navigator in the Israeli air force. He was forced to bail out of his plane over the city of Sidon in Lebanon and was captured by members of the Iranian backed Shiite Amal organization. Since then, Ron has been held captive by several groups, all of them extremist Shiite groups, backed by Iran.
On Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement in 1973, the new-born state of Israel was nearly wiped off the map. Egypt and Syria launched a massive surprise attack along the entire lengths of the Golan Heights and the Suez Canal. The IDF was caught napping - when it finally awakened just several hours before the onslaught, Prime Minister Golda Meir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan rejected a plea by Chief of Staff David Elezar to launch a preventative air strike against the massed Arab forces, about to surge forward. The Israeli leaders feared the US would blame Israel for starting the war because both President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did not believe the Arabs would dare attack Israel. In the opening weeks of the Yom Kippur War, it was touch-and-go whether the Jewish state would survive. The IDF forces along the Suez Canal and the Golan were outnumbered ten-to-one in tanks and artillery, and by far more in infantry. Moreover the Russians had just supplied sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to both their Arab allies that shot down an alarming number of Israeli aircraft. In one of the war's darkest hours, a desolate Dayan was heard to say:
'The Third House of Israel may be about to fall!'
US President Barack Obama delivered an impressive speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Monday. He knows how to talk. Military power alone will not solve the problem in Syria, he said, and presented a vision of peace and comradeship. He asked Iran nicely not to shout "Death to America," because it won't bring them jobs, and expressed his hope that those who hope for its extinction will maintain the nuclear agreement and turn the world into a safer place. Just like that. There is no doubt that he is a believer.
At this week's UN General Assembly session, Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, poured on the rhetoric but ignored the two key elements at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They both stuck to two straight lines in the war of words and we all know that straight lines almost never meet, except in outer space. And until the two leaders start talking in the same plane there will be no peace. Leading off the debate, Abbas actually refused to come to terms with the idea of a Jewish state while Bibi glossed over the Israeli occupation of the West Bank (Judea & Samaria).
This time it was over the record US military aid package to Israel. No less than $38 billion dollars will go to the Jewish state over a ten year period starting in 2018. Even if every penny will go back into the American economy for the purchase of American weapons, why did former Prime Minister Ehud Barak again smack Bibi in the kisser for bungling the matter? Recently Barak hauled Netanyahu over the coals for jeopardizing Israel's national security but he refused to elaborate and left the country guessing. Now after the disclosure of the details, Barak has weighed in. Writing first in the Washington Post, Barak accused Bibi of playing fast and loose by continuing to oppose US President Barack Obama even after it should have been clear the US and Iran had closed the nuclear deal. Bibi should have backed off, even if it was a ' very bad deal' and tried to salvage what he could with the US leader. But on the contrary - Bibi tried to go over Obama's head and accepted a Republican invitation to address the US Congress on this very contentious issue. Barak contends it was an act of folly that only antagonized Obama. This was a crucial period when the US leader would have been ready to listen favorably to some of Israel's legitimate concerns. After all is said and done Obama had agreed to leave almost all of Iran's nuclear weapons facilities in place which could mean a possible breakout in the future.

Unlike in the OTL were he died in 27 June 1839, Maharajah Ranjit Singh lived to fight the East India Company and the British Empire, and defeat them decisively.
Early life
Ranjit Singh was born to Maha Singh and Raj Kaur on 13 November 1780, in Gujranwala, Sukerchakia Misl, Sikh Confederacy. At first he was named Buddh Singh, but Maha Singh received the news of his son's birth on his return from a victorious battle against the Chattar chief, Pir Muhammad, and renamed his son Ranjit, meaning, victor in war.
As a child he suffered from smallpox which resulted in the loss of one eye. At the time, much of Punjab was ruled by the Sikhs under a Confederate Sarbat Khalsa system, who had divided the territory among factions known as misls. Ranjit Singh's father Maha Singh was the Commander of the Sukerchakia Misl and controlled a territory in the west Punjab based around his headquarters at Gujranwala. After his father's death, Ranjit Singh was raised under the protection of his mother Raj Kaur, and his mother-in-law Sada Kaur.
In 1799, Ranjit Singh captured Lahore from the Bhangi Misl and later made it his capital. This was the first important step in his rise to power. In the following years he brought the whole of the central Punjab from the Sutlej to the Jhelum under his sway. After several campaigns, he conquered the other misls and created the Sikh Kingdom.

Heart-warming, hysterically funny and honest. Definitely worth a watch for the 20-somethings.
I love it they make me fell good at home and loved. Please God help me with my family help them get together and come to hillsong
Great movie,all the Tarantino usual violence but a plot + comedy.Well worth a watch.
This Movie is the best of 2013!! Absolutely hysterical!
If it wasn't for these two-sponsorship in racing wouldn't be what it is today. They changed the world I love so much! Thank you Don and Mr. McEwan!
I just saw this documentary and I resoundingly disagree with the writer's synopsis. The writer's bias is obvious and sadly, he missed the entire point.
His final sentence is critical and telling when he writes, "the religious right is grooming a young generation of virgins to embody an evangelically grounded "Utopia in America." That was NOT the point of the documentary!
Christians, Evangelicals know, beyond a doubt that Utopia could NEVER exist here on earth first of all, because we live in a world where sin exists. And, second, the Wilson family's emphasis is on a loving relationship with God for themselves then, protecting, teaching and mentoring their children on the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God.
To spread the love of God to a world that is exploding with hatred and violence is a very good thing but not, it seems, to the writer of this synopsis.
This movie is from DHX, made by the FiM team. If there's anybody on the face of the planet earth who could made this good, it is them. They've spent the past 65 episodes proving that cartoons intended for girls don't have to suck, so their track record is unimpeachable. However, there is the chance their style could not translate well to the new demographic, but I trust Jayson Thiessen's team to do well here.
Remember the old tv show? Well, this movie finally pays tribute to some of the timeless cliques of the tv show, and does them well. Thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with this movie and loved how it ended with a future and a positive spin. Word of warning, if you have any vertigo problems, hold on tight during the Dubai building scenes. lol
What a fantastic movie! Great story and great cast.
Witty, fresh, and well acted---While the story is somewhat predictable, the actors bring real emotion and understanding to their respective roles. I enjoyed the entire story as did my husband. I'd recommend this movie to any age group. We are not teens, but I teach teenagers and found this remarkably believable.
This film is not what I expected. I expected to find a left-leaning film critical of Christianity and I found a basically even-handed look into how Americans deal with religion and politics. It is a compassionate look at our strengths and weaknesses.
I must not get it. I thought the movie was ticking along quite nicely until Spock (old Spock) appeared and started messing with the time-space continuum. I was lost for about 15 minutes until he disappeared, and then lost when he reappeared. I think it would have been a really good movie if the director didn't feel the need to please the fans from the past. It could have stood on its own, but sadly, missed the mark in my opinion.
This is the first time in my life that I want to warn people not to go see a movie. This movie sucked. It is a story of a story of a story. There is nothing here. It tries really hard to be of some meaning but has none. It is an insult to series like A Long Way Around and A river Runs Through it to even be mentioned. I wanted to yell at the screen a few times because it was so forced. Here is a thought, tell us where you are, where you are going. Talk about things that happen on the trip and do not force scripted stories. I want my time back, complete waste
Marriage reflects the natural moral and social law evidenced the world over. As the late British social anthropologist Joseph Daniel Unwin noted in his study of world civilizations, any society that devalued the nuclear family soon lost what he called "expansive energy," which might best be summarized as society's will to make things better for the next generation. In fact, no society that has loosened sexual morality outside of man-woman marriage has survived.
Analyzing studies of cultures spanning several thousands of years on several continents, Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin found that virtually all political revolutions that brought about societal collapse were preceded by a sexual revolution in which marriage and family were devalued by the culture's acceptance of homosexuality.
When marriage loses its unique status, women and children most frequently are the direct victims. Giving same-sex relationships or out-of-wedlock heterosexual couples the same special status and benefits as the marital bond would not be the expansion of a right but the destruction of a principle. . If the one-man/one-woman definition of marriage is broken, there is no logical stopping point for continuing the assault on marriage.

Is there nothing rich and privileged kids from CC can't do? All this philanthropy - thank goodness these charitable givers are investing in the right people- rich white CC kids. Great for our local community
Devereux Cleo Wallace is a dangerous and abusive place for children. I trusted them with my son and he was thoroughly traumatized by both enduring emotional and physical violence at the hands of staff, and by witnessing the constant violence perpetrated by staff on other kids. Have you talked to admissions and checked out the videos and website? Do not believe for a minute that they will swim, ride horses, pet the therapy dog, or get therapeutic care. They create unnecessary distress for fragile, mentally ill kids, then punish them for reacting. Restraints and locking children in the "quiet room" were constant. This is an expensive, private, abusive jail for kids. I can't for the life of me understand how they haven't been shut down. Devereux Cleo Wallace is a house of horrors.

Yahoo! shareholder votes tally questioned
Critical shareholder seeks to examine votes
Yahoo shareholder Capital Research Global Investors, one of Yahoo Inc.'s most critical shareholders and also one of its largest shareholders, has asked for a probe of the recent Yahoo shareholder vote.
Capital Research Global Investors claims that it does not believe the voting was accurate in showing strong support for Yahoo's CEO, Jerry Yang. After the bungled handling of the Microsoft buyout many shareholders had expressed a lack of support for Yang's leadership and even a desire to oust him, yet last week's shareholder vote seems to have shown strong support for him.
The shareholder vote was reported as being 85 percent in support of Yang and his team's leadership. Capital Research Global Investors said they believe something is awry, as there should have been more than 15 percent opposed to Yang.
Yahoo issued a statement that it was not aware of any errors that occurred in the shareholder voting. Stay tuned, we have a feeling this is not the end of this story.

In terms of the comments made about just skiing with the coaches during the Gathering you've lost me here. I thoroughly enjoy free skiing with great skiers but I could never feel comfortable asking for their assessments and advice unless they were really pretty close friends. This is what they do for a living and I assume that if I'm free skiing with them it is a time to just let em rip. Sometimes advanced and expert skiers want to focus and work on their skiing and I think they can be more than willing to pay for such opportunity.
I have interpreted the flow of this thread to suggest that since we know how to do what we did with the 1st Academy and it was so successful and enjoyed by all we don't need to or perhaps shouldn't explore other realms.
I proposed the term Academy for this Epic Ski event because I thought about the ongoing learning environment we already have here at Epic and the options for extending that to in-person, on-the-snow "curriculum." I don't think that over time it would be difficult for those interested in briefer sessions with some of our top coaches to form some groups of their own and spend a half day with a couple of coaches getting an assessment of their skiing and suggested approaches to improvement. This could be simply done by having a "Dean" of the Academy (like Bob Barnes was this past year) take over another instuctor's group (obviously coordinating with them in doing so) for a half day (something I think the group might really enjoy anyway) and freeing up another instructor to work with a "short-term" group over the last two days of the Academy. Obviously the Dean could make him- or herself available as well. Those interested in one or 2 half day sessions would then sign up to work with one of their preferred coaches during this time.
Speaking for myself I would pay to join one of those groups even without getting any individual assessemnt. Just skiing with and observing the assessement and guidance process for an expert skier is well worth the price of admission as far as I'm concerned. Of course any indivual attention I could get would be greatly appreciated and valued.

A loopy boa scarf can be the perfect accessory - with the addition of the loops it is much fluffier and keeps your neck and chin warm. When knitting your own scarf, make sure you go for wool that is soft to the touch. In order to knit your own loopy boa scarf you will need to know the basics of knitting including how to cast on and bind off. What makes this scarf different is the loop stitch which you will learn as you knit your scarf.
- Skill level:
- Moderate
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- 300g ball of wool
- Pair of knitting needles
Show More
- 1
Cast on as many stitches as you require, this will be guided by the thickness of the wool you are using, bearing in mind that boa scarves are generally skinny. Once you have cast on continue to knit one standard row.
- 2
Knit a row of loop stitch by first knitting a stitch as normal but instead of dropping it off the needle you leave it on the left needle. Bring the tail of the wool back through to the front between your needles so that you have the first stitch on the left needle and the second on the right needle.
- 3
Loop the wool around your thumb and back through between the two needles to create your loop. Knit the rest of the stitch as normal and you will be left with two stitches on your right needle. Drop the first stitch over the top of the second one, like binding off, you now have one stitch on the right needle and a loop. Repeat this until you have a full row of loop stitches.
- 4
Continue to knit the scarf using alternate rows. Knit one standard row then one loop row, ensuring that all the loops appear on the same side. Knit as many rows as you require for the desired length of the scarf and then bind off securely on your last row.
Tips and warnings
- To lock in the loop on the final stitch, pass the first stitch over the second one to lock it in place.

Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica Pen
By gfein1138
from Anamosa, Iowa
I love Pentel Products so I ordered the pen based on Pentel's reputation for putting out quality products. The pen itself is a nice product, the only problem I have with the pen is it globs up when ever I lift it to start a new line. This was solved by keeping a piece of scrap paper around to get rid of the globs. Other than that the pen is great smooth drawing, is comfortable to hold. If Pentel can correct the glob ing issue this pen would be best in category.
Love these pens!
By iGirl

I love these pens! Even on the very narrow ones the ink flows easily. which makes them a pleasure to use. I had picked one up at a college bookstore a few months ago and can't find them locally so I was very glad to find that Dick Blick carries them.
By tollergirl
from Eastern MA
Other reviewers seem crazed about these pens, but I find them OK, nothing special. I bought the mixed pack because it was on sale, and find the 03 and 04 virtually unusable... the points on them are so sharp that the drag as you move across the paper is scratchy and unpleasant. The 05 and 06 are... pens, what can I say? I like the 08. But in all of them, the ink seems dull and off-color, I prefer a bright black-black. I would not go out of my way to buy these pens again. (I use them for note-taking, general jotting, sketching, and jewelry design work.)

I am a strong supporter of products created by moms and dads as 90% of these parentpreneurs market products that the average family would be able to use comfortably and safely. In most cases, their products are often the result of what they created for their children and family. This is also the case for Screen Inc.

Screen, Inc. was established in 2007 by two moms on a mission. After endless attempts to find a non-greasy facial sunscreen, they decided, "heck, why not concoct our own?" Lori Nauman provided the product development expertise, while Heather Neal brought sales and marketing skills to the table. A marvelous partnership was formed and the sunscreen industry has been given a run for its money.
Parent Reviewers is honoured to be able to review Screen Inc's Sunscreen Collection which comprises of Teen Screen, Man Screen, Chic Screen and Tweeny Screen. As I love being out in the sun, I have tried many sunscreen products and I can vouch that most of these products are greasy when applied to the skin. Though I hated the feel, I had thought that it was a norm with sunscreen products until I tried out the samples from Sunscreen Inc.
When I first received the samples, I was a little disappointed that they were fomulated with SPF16 only, what with today's market promoting sunscreen of up to SPF45. However, I discovered an interesting fact – An SPF 15 blocks 94% of UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays. The higher SPF's merely provide 3% more protection, but many are filled with additional chemicals. These chemicals often make the sunscreen oily, irritating and sticky. So, SPF16 will do just fine for me.

I was pleasantly surprised when I use the Chic Screen as the cream was smooth, which made application easy and it also blended easily into my skin. There was none of those greasy feel too! Another fact which attracts me is the product is fragrance free, a must for someone like me, with sensitivity to fragrance and perfumes.
So hey, it's really no wonder that even celebrities are keen to try out the products. Check out the following celebrities from the gift lounge celebrating the MTV Movie Awards and see whether you can identify who is who with their Screen Inc. Sunscreen products.

I have not tried the rest of the samples as I am saving them for our trip to the pool this weekend. However, many of our Parent Reviewers are giving them the thumbs up:
Quiver Full Family – My husband got to try the unscented Man Screen. He didn't mind volunteering his face (well, the upper portion, he has a large beard on his chin!) for the review, and noted that after the screen was applied he couldn't even tell it was on. I tried out the Chic Screen and Teen Screen (both unscented), and came to the same conclusion – this facial sunscreen is so easy to wear! Just rub it on and forget it as the screen gets to work with it's SPF 16 protection levels. It is so light and spreadable – it feels like it absorbs right into your skin with no oily or greasy film.
It's My Imagination – The last two samples, Teen Screen and Tweeny Screen were both used by my 12 year old daughter. Again, both of these formulas were found to be non-greasy and went on smooth. The Teen Screen is designed for acne-prone teen skin and is non-irritating. The Tweeny Screen is our favorite. It has all of the features of the other 3, but also has a wonderful tropical fruit fragrance. I could really smell pineapple in it. My daughter used both of these on several different occasions, including swimming and softball practice.
where do they sell viagra | canadian pharmacy meds | buy viagra with a mastercard | cialis | generic cialis
Mott's Island – My verdict : It IS non-greasy and it really didn't feel like I had any lotion on! There was a slight sunscreen smell, but after application, it dissipated. Overall, it was very light and very easy to apply.
My Two Girls – I love the non-greasy and smooth texture of the sunscreen, I don't get a layer of white residue on my face after applying, and it doesn't have any chemical smell that comes with most sunblock. It feels very much like wearing an expensive facial sun protection cream.
A Pregnant Pause – All in all, I love the texture of the creams – looks like the "Moms on a mission" have introduced an excellent alternative to popular brands like Coppertone and Banana Boat.
Just My Tots – I was surprised to see that it is actually endorsed by the Skin Cancer foundation. That speaks volume for a product that is just launched in the market.
I later tried all of them on top of my regular moisturizer and it feels great. No heavy feeling and works great under my makeup. It is definitely something that I will feel good using everyday.
Just Not Martha – I'm not much for scented products usually, with my allergies and everything so I avoided the Tweeny Screen, but the kids liked it. The other three don't have any added fragrance to them, however there is scent that I'm guessing is from the natural ingredients of shea butter and avocado oil. Thanks to those same ingredients the sunscreens are definitely non-greasy just like they claim on the label. They feel more like a nice lotion than your typical sunblock.
Val's Views – The entire line of products is dermatologist approved and has received the Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation. They're even ahead of FDA guidelines for testing and packaging, a welcome change from products that haven't changed in ten years.
Crumley Family Blog – I tried the chicscreen and the tweenyscreen (since it had a different scent). Both products lived up to its non-greasy promise.
The big pull of Screen, Inc's products in the idea found in their tag line: "make it your routine." They want everyone to put on sunburn protection every day, every two hours or so, just as part of their daily routine. This is a great way to teach children (tweens and teens) the importance of keeping their skin healthy.
Lisa Reviews – The first kind I looked at is chicscreen. Now, this is spf 16+, and you should be reapplying every two hours to keep the protection strong. The nice thing is that you can apply this under your makeup. I had to giggle a bit when I read the warnings on this. The two things I found humorous was the warning that I was a smart gal so I shouldn't eat it and that no boys are allowed to use it since this product is was designated for the feminine crowd. This was not tested on animals.
Laura Williams' Musings – I don't know about you but I like the fact that the sunscreens are non-greasy. I don't like for my face to feel oily and heavy from sunscreen. The Chic Screen does not give my face that feeling.

The course lasts nine months and consists of two semesters of full-time academic study. We are not able to offer a part-time course.
Course content
Diploma students are required to take the Level 5 Research Design, Statistics and Computing course and the Level 6 Research Dissertation module. Prior knowledge of statistics would be an advantage.

- PS3416 Emotion: Social & Neuroscience Perspectives

The selection of modules will be determined by the Graduate Diploma Director, in consultation with the candidate, and will be based on the student's prior experience in psychology. Module selections must be approved by the Board of Studies in Psychology.
University examinations are held in January and May/June and consist of two- or three-hour written papers in each of the chosen subjects. Practical work and essays must also be completed satisfactorily. In addition, candidates will be required to attend all tutorials/seminars.

The psychology component of the course must represent at least 25% (60 credits) of the candidate's first degree. Candidates must be able to show that the psychology component includes subjects specified by the BPS core areas. Candidates must also be able to demonstrate that they have been examined in the psychology components of their degree. We do not accept prior experience working in a field of psychology for entry onto this course.

It's tough to collapse a 16-song hip-hop compilation into 100 words, because there are so many styles and no correlation between any of them. Of course, I suppose that's saying something right there. Without a consistent theme or feel, it's basically a competition to see which songs end up as mix tape fodder -- pick your faves, stick them on your hard drive, and forget about the rest. With its back-spinning melody and a subtle reference to Digable Planets, Vast Aire's drunken exposition "Why Is the Sky Blue?" is already in my newest lineup.

A well-known klopse boss has been arrested for allegedly moering a man with a lock and key in the face.
Pennsylvanians baas Richard "Pot" Stemmet spent Wednesday in a cell at the Lansdowne Police Station, after he and seven friends allegedly attacked a father and son with whips.
The 49-year-old father says Stemmet had a lock and lanyard wrapped around his hand.
"The key poked between his fingers and it scratched my face," the man says.
The alleged incident took place outside Stemmet's business, Hats for Africa, in Wetton, on Monday.
Adam Kamaar says he had gone to Stemmet to request documents for a Toyota Quantum van his son Umar had bought at Zoe's Used Cars in Wetton Road.
They had been waiting for the transfer papers for three weeks, and the dealership said they could contact the previous owner, Stemmet's son-in-law Marwaan Daniels, themselves.
Kamaar says they spoke to Daniels a number of times, before staff at Zoe's said he could be found around the corner in Crete Street.
Kamaar says he was angry when he met Stemmet, and asked him "what kind of businessman" he was.
"He parked behind my car so we could not get out and immediately came at me and we verbally went at it. I told him all we want is the paperwork and he went nuts, my son jumped out of the car as Stemmet was aggressive from the beginning," Kamaar claims.
Umar adds: "We were in salaah tops, we did not go there for a fight."
Kamaar claims "a little truck with seven men" arrived, armed with whips. That's when they were allegedly assaulted.
Afterwards, they reported the matter to police. However, Stemmet's attorney John Riley says his client is the victim.
"Mr Stemmet went to the Lansdowne police station and was there told about the charges laid against him. He considered laying a charge, but has as yet not decided. My client has witnesses and video footage proving that Mr Kamaar and his son were the aggressors and came to attack him," says Riley.
"They forced their way onto the business premises and attacked him continuously."
Riley said his client had no visible injuries.
Kamaar said besides the cut on his cheek, his left shoulder was injured, while Umar had a bruise on his arm where he was allegedly struck with a sjambok.
SAPS spokesperson Constable Noloyiso Rwexana confirms Stemmet's arrest.
"The suspect was arrested for assault common and appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates' Court on Wednesday," says Rwexana.
When Daily Voice contacted Stemmet for comment, he said: "I don't know what you are talking about, those people are telling lies.
"Julle moet ophou glo wat elke Tom, Dick en Harry sê. "If you tell lies about me, I will take you on."

Apache POI Word - Installation
This chapter takes you through the process of setting up Apache POI on Windows and Linux based systems. Apache POI can be easily installed and integrated with your current Java environment, following a few simple steps without any complex setup procedures. User administration is required while installation.
System Requirements
JDK | Java SE 2 JDK 1.5 or above |
Memory | 1 GB RAM (recommended) |
Disk Space | No minimum requirement |
Operating System Version | Windows XP or above, Linux |
Let us now proceed with the steps to install Apache POI.
Step 1: Verify your Java Installation
First of all, you need to have Java Software Development Kit (SDK) installed on your system. To verify this, execute any of the two commands mentioned below, depending on the platform you are working on.
If the Java installation has been done properly, then it will display the current version and specification of your Java installation. A sample output is given in the following table:
Platform | Command | Sample Output |
Windows | Open command console and type: \>java –version |
Java version "1.7.0_60" Java (TM) SE Run Time Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19) Java Hotspot (TM) 64-bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09,mixed mode) |
Linux | Open command terminal and type: $java –version |
java version "1.7.0_25" Open JDK Runtime Environment (rhel-126.96.36.199.el6_4-x86_64) Open JDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) |
We assume that the readers of this tutorial have Java SDK version 1.7.0_60 installed on their system.
In case you do not have Java SDK, download its current version from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and have it installed.
Step 2: Set your Java Environment
Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to the base directory location where Java is installed on your machine. For example,
Platform | Description |
Windows | Set JAVA_HOME to C:\ProgramFiles\java\jdk1.7.0_60 |
Linux | Export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java-current |
Append the full path of Java compiler location to the System Path.
Platform | Description |
Windows | Append the String "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin" to the end of the system variable PATH. |
Linux | Export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/ |
Execute the command java - version from the command prompt as explained above.
Step 3: Install Apache POI Library
Download the latest version of Apache POI from http://poi.apache.org/download.html and unzip its contents to a folder from where the required libraries can be linked to your Java program. Let us assume the files are collected in a folder on C drive.
The following images shows the directories and the file structure inside the downloaded folder:
Add the complete path of the five jars as highlighted in the above image to the CLASSPATH.
Platform | Description |
Windows | Append the following strings to the end of the user variable CLASSPATH: "C:\poi-3.9\poi-3.9-20121203.jar;" "C:\poi-3.9\poi-ooxml-3.9-20121203.jar;" "C:\poi-3.9\poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.jar;" "C:\poi-3.9\ooxml-lib\dom4j-1.6.1.jar;" "C:\poi-3.9\ooxml-lib\xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar;.;" |
Linux | Export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH: /usr/share/poi-3.9/poi-3.9-20121203.tar: /usr/share/poi-3.9/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.tar: /usr/share/poi-3.9/poi-ooxml-3.9-20121203.tar: /usr/share/poi-3.9/ooxml-lib/dom4j-1.6.1.tar: /usr/share/poi-3.9/ooxml-lib/xmlbeans-2.3.0.tar |
