text: \nPONFERRADA, September 27, 2014 (AFP) - Frenchwoman Pauline Ferrand-Prevot stunned the favorites to win a select bunch sprint for the women's road race title at the World Championships in Ponferrada, Spain on Saturday.\n\nGermany's world time trial champion Lisa Brennauer took second in a photo finish ahead of Sweden's Emma Johansson, with two-time world champion Giorgia Bronzini of Italy missing out by a whisker. Such was the tense finish that the four women were separated by less than the length of a wheel.\n\nFerrand-Prevot became the first French woman to win this event since legend Jeannie Longo took her fifth crown in 1995.\n\nShe admitted she thought her hopes of a medal were over when she was dropped on the final climb.\n\n"I crashed on Sunday with my teammates in the team time trial so I had quite a hard week and I didn't feel really good," said the 22-year-old. "Today I didn't expect to win so it's really great for me. I was dropped on the last climb and I said 'OK, the podium is finished' but the four girls in front almost stopped. \n\n"I was lucky the German team was right for me and I had a really good lead out, so thank you. "I just knew I had to keep my hands on the handlebars. At first I thought it wasn't possible. I've just realized (she won) and it's super."\n\nFor Ferrand-Prevot, it was another title to add to a glittering career in which she has combined competing in cyclocross and mountain biking as well as road cycling.\n\nShe won La Fleche Wallonne Feminine back in April while this year she has been French national champion in cyclocross, mountain biking, the road race and, for the third time in a row, the time trial. She was also previously a world junior champion in this event in 2010 and mountain biking in both 2009 and 2010.\n\nJohansson, who was runner-up last year and also won bronze in 2010, admitted she was surprised to see the Frenchwoman winning a sprint, but more so that Ferrand-Prevot hadn't made the break over the last climb.\n\n"I've seen Pauline has really stepped up as a top rider this year, she's done really amazing results. I was surprised she wasn't with us over the top of the climb," said Johansson. "I'm surprised but also not as she's been a really strong rider this year\u2014I had her as one of the favorites this year."\n\nDouble reigning champion Marianne Vos of the Netherlands, the overwhelming favorite coming into the race, could finish only 10th.\n\nFerrand-Prevot's victory owed much to sheer opportunism for a specialist climber not known for her kick finish.\n\nBut Olympic champion Vos, Britain's Lizzie Armitstead, the silver medalist at the London Games, and Italy's Elisa Longho Borghini will all have regrets.\nThe three broke clear of the pack, along with Johansson, on the final 1km climb.\n\nThey went over the top with a clear gap and just 3km still to ride but as they came into the final kilometer with just the home straight ahead, none of them wanted to take the lead, allowing a chasing group of around 15 riders back into contention.\n\nThat group included a number of specialist sprinters such as Shelley Olds of the United States, but when the sprint was launched, Ferrand-Prevot wound her way through the traffic to punch through and take a shock victory.\n\n \n\nTop 20 Results\n1.

Welcome to Uwanda Game Reserve
Uwanda Game Reserve is dominated by the shallow alkaline Lake Rukwa with its kaleidoscope of birds. The floodplains attract a large number of herbivores during the dry season, making it an Eden for the many crocodiles which are found at a higher concentration here than in any other lake in the country. If you are lucky you may also spot a rare puku on the marshy grasslands. Also special about Uwanda, are the interesting mutations of albino giraffes and spotted zebras.

Boise, ID – Wednesday 18-year-old Hailey Gantz graduated from high school.
Gantz's story isn't like most. She got pregnant at the age of 15. As she started thinking about her future, Gantz's did not think the school would be an option.
"I didn't want to go to school because I had missed so much school. I was almost living by myself," said Gantz.
Experts say without support about 70 percent of pregnant teens drop out of high school.
Gantz's counselor encouraged her to stay on track and helped connect her with the Booth Marian Prichett School. The school is a collaboration between The Salvation Army and the Boise School District. The District provides accredited high school education, and The Salvation Army provides social services and parenting and life skills classes to the pregnant or parenting teens who are enrolled.Deborah Nicely teaches at the school, and she credits the school's success to its holistic approach.
"Academics are absolutely very important also important teaching about parenting," said Nicely.
The school also provides a sense of community and family.
"I didn't really have support my dad didn't support me, but I had support from teachers and other girls going through the same thing," said Gantz.
If the students keep up their grades and attendance, They are rewarded.
"The students say the incentive store is a lifeline for them. They are able to use their store points to get diapers and wipes," said Lindsey Klein.
This school is just one of the four charities Six On Your Side supports during the annual community baby shower. This program has helped thousands of young woman reach their full potential.

Hello friends, Today my creation is for the Sketch Saturday Team. We have a sketch challenge and every Saturday we have a new sketch to share.
This time I tried a interactive approach to the sketch as I wanted to make something " out of box" to a sketch.
So I used the sketch to create a criss cross pocket on the card which has 2 tags.
The flowers are prima flowers and used the tags to have the sentiment.
Also used a small metal brad to add the finishing touch,
Hope you like and would love to hear your comment for my work :)
See you soon at the next blog!

a craft before bed
Sometimes it's best to make a little something before your head hits the pillow. I can't be the only one with a drawer filled with sticks and stones from days long past spent on the beach. Throw in some felt scraps, a glue gun and bakers' twine and you have a mighty fine cupid's arrow. The countdown to Valentine's Day is on.

The arrow looks fabulous!

Inside Teaching : April 2011
www.atra.edu.au | email@example.com 20 QUESTIONS 33 I searched 'Jane Caro' on the web and Google gave me 2,720,000 results covering areas as diverse as the non- party-political coalition that you convene in support of public education called Priority Public, mentoring, feminism, religion and atheism, advertising, hosting Life Matters on ABC Radio National, your board membership of Bell Shakespeare, and loads more. With this in mind I thought I'd start with a hard-hitting question: when you appear on The Gruen Transfer, do you borrow Wil Anderson's nail polish and would you ever put on his thongs? I do tend to do a bit, perhaps all connected to an interest in communication and education and the arts. I like to contribute to things. I don't wear nail polish and Wil's thongs are his thing – a style statement. The Gruen Transfer was amazing, something I didn't expect to happen. Generally women get booted out of television before their 50s. Have you ever succumbed to a desire to deck Russel Howcroft? No, I like Russel – an honest man who believes absolutely in what he does, very bright. What occupation do you have in your passport? Writer. Writing is my core skill. I'm a writer/broadcaster/speaker. Your book, The F Word, co-written with Catherine Fox, is dedicated to your parents, Kate and Andy; can you tell me a bit about their importance in your life? Parents are incredibly important. Mine are strong-minded and argumentative, with each other and me and my siblings. They have a curiosity about the world and what people think. My father has so much energy, even at 80. He's fast moving and dynamic, to a fault on occasion. I inherited a lot of that. My mother is the more intellectual and analytical. They've been a fantastic team for 55 or so years. They gave me a model of a good, respectful relationship. What my father liked about my mother was her brain. He took her ideas seriously. Not a lot of fathers did 55 years ago, so many daughters didn't expect to be taken seriously. Publicly smart, clever women usually have fathers who accept that in their daughters. It's a key to my feminism to some extent. Plus my mother was an out-and-out feminist. As was her mother. The F Word could have been dedicated to Vittoria – Do you have a serious caffeine addiction? Yes! – as you and Catherine planned it over morning coffees after dropping off your daughters at school. Do you think it's important for work to move outside traditional work venues? And I could add over wine on many an occasion. A bit of wildness and naughtiness is to be encouraged. We didn't want to write a book about dressing differently or speaking differently and stuff like that. You don't have to change anything. Why should you be anything other than what you are? Lighten up and have a good time and let other people take on some of the responsibilities in parenting and in household chores. Women still feel that they have to do those things to have a right to exist. I think the traditional workplace is dying out more and more. My husband and I both work from home. Centralised offices are coming to the end of their lifespan. I don't want to work under those circumstances where time is more important than quality. Accountability has made the workplace brutal. How about schools? Are they held back by being building bound? I don't want a time when there's no community. I remember in the early days of computers seeing an interactive department which was filled with young ear-phoned people staring at screens. Separated. There will always be a point for children to be together. We need to liberate parents and children from each other. Children need to know their peers and their community. Home schooling keeps children under control. Your children are not little-yous. They are, according to Khalil Gibran, 'the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.' Children are brutal and honest and there are benefits in being part of that, learning street smarts and savvy, lessening vulnerability. You're working on your third book? Can you tell me about it? It's my first novel, for young adults, called Just A Girl, a historical novel about Elizabeth I on the night before being crowned. She's in the Tower of London, unable to sleep. To pass the time she sits and thinks about how she's survived for the past 25 years. It's to be published by the University of Queensland

Amid rumors of a hunger strike and possible starvation, South Korean lawyers have requested access to the 12 North Korean restaurant employees who defected to South Korea in early April.
Lawyers for a Democratic Society (Minbyun) submitted a request on Friday to the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to meet the former restaurant workers, asking that the meeting take place after their .
The 13 defectors left Ningbo, China on April 5 and arrived in South Korea on April 7 via Malaysia and Thailand. A male manager from North Korea, who allegedly cooperated for the defection, was not included in the list for access.
They are staying at the protection center, managed by the NIS, while there have been reports from the North Korea media that the workers were "abducted" and have been carrying out a hunger strike. Rumors have spread through social media that one, named Seo Kyung-ah, starved herself to death.
"Regardless of the reason and background, people who are under the investigation by the NIS have the right to receive assistance from attorneys, and attorneys should be able to communicate with the examinee without obstacles," the press release from Minbyun reads.
Minbyun, who also advocated for Yoo Woo-seong to prove his innocence from NIS allegations over the past few years, suggested a recommendation by the UN Human Rights Committee published last November. According to the current South Korean implementation ordinance, the NIS can keep examinees for a maximum of 180 days.
"The state party should ensure that DPRK 'defectors' are detained for the shortest possible period, and that detainees are given access to counsel during the entire length of their detention … the duration and methods of interrogation are subject to strict limits which comply with international human rights standards," the report reads.
However, access to the defectors is unlikely, as the NIS has never previously approved such a demand. The Ministry of Unification (MoU) has also disapproved.
"As I have said several times, they entered South Korea of their own free will. It is improper to meet outside people as they are in the early stage of settlement and finding stability," an MoU spokesperson said Monday during a regular press briefing.
The spokesperson said North Korea's hunger strike allegations are "groundless" and "propaganda."
The lawyers expect legal procedures after the press conference on Monday.
"If the authorities don't approve our access, we will file a lawsuit against the government's decision (to deny access)," Jang Kyeong-wook of Minbyun, who submitted the request, told NK News.
"Doubts have been raised about the exceptional background of the defection and we need to verify the rumors (about the status of the defectors)," Jang said.
The defections were announced just before South Korea's National Assembly elections, and just after the North Koreans had arrived in Seoul. It is not standard procedure for Seoul to publicly announce defections, especially before their settlement period is complete.
Former government officials and experts have indicated that the NIS was involved in the mass-defection, while the MoU denied any political calculations.
"(It is) a way to
A Christian activist, however, said the 12 female defectors were deceived by a male manager of the restaurant with the cooperation of South Korean government authorities.
"For the overseas restaurants, the manager keeps the workers' passports," Pastor Kim Hee-tae, president of North Korea Human Rights Mission, told NK News.
"The hunger strike sounds plausible since the defectors seem to have thought that they were going to another North Korean restaurant in Malaysia, not South Korea."

Charlie Welman — Trainee solicitor
Charlie studied Law with International Legal Studies at the University of Southampton. She now works as a trainee for Womble Bond Dickinson (WBD), currently on secondment at New Look
The calibre of clients that WBD offers secondment opportunities to always made the firm stand out to me. Being able to work directly for New Look, one of WBD's biggest retail clients is proving as invaluable an experience as it is enjoyable.
WBD have supported me throughout my time at New Look. I've been able to engage with partners across WBD who have always provided advice and guidance if ever I've needed it.
A typical day looks like this
8.50am - I arrive in the office and stock up on the free fruit that gets delivered to us in the morning.
8.55am - I arrive at my desk. I have a brief chat with my supervisor, Nadya, about an email regarding some advice from an external firm on a contract for New Look in China. I have received an email from New Look's senior brand manager, she has asked for a meeting to discuss the registration of a new trade mark we are hoping to use in an upcoming campaign. I head down to 'the Hub', our onsite café, for the meeting. I go over the difficulties involved with registering the mark and I pose some commercial considerations, which her team will need to consider.
9.45am - Time to prepare for an internal catch-up call I have with Neil, one of New Look's commercial solicitors in a different office. Later in the day we will be advising the relevant teams on the ability to terminate a contract.
10.00am - Neil suggests I draft a chronology of key dates so we can clearly map the correspondence to date and assist our stakeholders with their negotiations.
11.00am - Time for a tea break and a quick review of the newest products that have hit the New Look website.
11.10am - I begin reviewing terms and conditions for an upcoming project with a high-profile media company.
12.20pm - The procurement manager needs me to amend a letter that is being sent out to a supplier. I re-draft the letter as a deed and tweak it as necessary.
13.00pm - Time for my meeting I have been preparing for. I take the relevant teams through the risks they need to be aware of but give them a clear steer on how we should approach terminating the contract.
13.50pm - Lunchtime. Off to a barre class with Nadya.
14.40pm - I email out to our external lawyers in China to chase them on some points we need confirming in respect of Chinese law.
14.45pm - Back to the reviewing the terms and conditions I started looking at earlier in the day.
15.35pm - I begin to draw up a table, which can be shared with relevant teams to raise any specific points they need to be mindful of in the terms and conditions.
16.30pm - Directors will need to sign a bundle of deeds tomorrow morning that I have been working on. I proofread the deeds and make corrections as necessary.
17.00pm - Email in. I've been invited to the private showing of 'Mamma Mia' at Universal's Screening Rooms. I helped negotiate on the contract for our partnership with the film so it's great to see everything coming together.
17.45 - Nice early finish and off to see the new Alexander McQueen documentary with the investor relations manager, Carla.

Yesterday I was on a trip with the family to IKEA and since we were in Edinburgh I persuaded them to let me go to the MAC store. Since the one in Edinburgh is the closest to where I live (it's almost 150 miles away!) I thought I'd better take advantage of the opportunity! I decided to pick up a lipstick as I don't actually own any other lipsticks from MAC. I got the shade Plumful which has a Lustre finish. I don't really know all that much about MAC lipsticks and all the different finishes but from wearing this I can tell you that it's very moisturising and sheer – but also quite pigmented. Plumful is a gorgeous pinky, purple, berry kind of colour. I also really like the packaging of the MAC lipsticks, it feels quite heavy and the slight sparkle in the graphite makes it look extra pretty! As soon as I saw this colour I completely fell in love with it! I know that this is going to be the start of a very expensive addiction! I think this colour would suit pretty much every skin tone, it's so beautiful and definitely recommend you check it out.
What are your favourite lipsticks? Let me know in the comments! I'm also still following anyone back who follows me through GFC.

"I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen -- not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
-- C. S. Lewis, Weight of Glory
The bright, reflective surface of this cross, and its circle motif, suggest the sun. The cross is solid bronze, handcast from a 19th century Coptic original.
The deep amber color and translucency of the prayer beads suggest the sun's warmth. Their color varies with the light. The beads are Czech glass with an interesting, irregular shape.
The number of prayer beads -- 33 -- is a celebration of the incarnation, and is symbolic of the years of Jesus' life on earth.
Separating the prayer beads are small beads of matte glass in various shades of tan, and solid brass and copper.
The connecting rings are solid copper and bronze. The chaplet is strung on premium quality Soft Flex jewelers' cable, composed of 49 strands of steel encased in nylon, with a test strength of 26 pounds; each end is double-crimped for security.
Cross: 2"
Prayer beads: about 10 mm
Length: 11"

Leprosy at the Time of Christ
It is often said that the lepers Christ healed were not suffering from the disease known as leprosy but were rather suffering from a variety of skin conditions such as eczema and boils. However, a new archeological discovery has proved that leprosy was an affliction in the Holy Land at the time of Christ. Shimon Gibson excavated a tomb in the Valley of Hennom in Jerusalem. He found a tomb that was sealed during the time of Chris (dated at approximately 1-50 A.D.). The body was found under a shroud in a sealed tomb. Usually, in the first century after the body decayed the remains were put into ossuaries or "bone boxes." Obviously, the tomb was sealed to contain the contagion. This is reported in "Science Illustrated" January/February 2011 on pages38-39).
Jewish origins for the Son of God?
Certain people attempt to argue that the idea of Jesus being the "Son of God" was part of the "paganizing" process of the early church. Perseus and Hercules were sons of gods therefore to attract converts, the early Christians began teaching that Jesus is similarly the son of God. However, it seems that this is not the case. Actually, the idea of Jesus being the Son of God arose in a Jewish context. This is proven in the new book "King and Messiah as Son of God: Divine, Human and Angelic Messianic Figures in Biblical and related Literature" by Adela Yarbo Collins and John J. Collins.
Jesus, the Middle Eastern Storyteller by Gary M. Burge
This book says on page 32, "Prayer was likely spoken in Hebrew, the language of the Torah, which in Jesus' day was not a language spoken by the common person. The language of the street was Aramaic, another Semitic language related to Hebrew and acquired by Israel during its Babylonian exile. Therefore regular prayer would have been highly stylized, following a language that was awkward to the average person. Jesus likely stood out in two respects: he prayed in Aramaic and he prayed casually, even conversationally. His prayers do not reflect any of the set forms of his day (no blessing of the nation, land, or temple); they are instead expressions of personal concern. For example, in Matthew 6:7 he is critical of prayers that are filled with "babbling" and instead urges that prayer be heartfelt, private and sincere because God will particularly hear all secret prayers uttered with honesty. This is the moment when Jesus gives his followers a sample of how prayer ought to sound-what we know as the Lord's Prayer (Matth. 6:9-13). In Luke 11"2-4 we find a shortened version of this prayer. The Lord's Prayer is a model prayer that reflects the concerns that need to appear in prayers, and most scholars agree that Jesus no doubt taught it in Aramaic. The opening word "Father" (11:2) reflects the Aramaic word "Abba," and this was so well known as Jesus' habit in prayer that it became a liturgical form used in Greek speaking churches in Paul's day (Rom 8:15, Gal. 4:6).
I do not agree with all the interpretations in Mr. Burge's book. For example, he criticizes western "Individualism" which he believes originated in the "Enlightenment" and believes we should think as a community. I don't agree with this. Community is important but "group think" is dangerous. We are all part of a community, however, we have to approach God individually. We also have to seek out truth and think it through for ourselves. There was a Samaritan that belonged to a group of lepers but when he was healed he left the group and went to Christ as an individual to thank and praise Christ for what he did for him. Jesus said, "I have come not to bring peace but division." People who followed Jesus faced ostracism and rejection by their families. During the Roman persecutions, it was even more of a radical choice. Sometimes things sound good-but they aren't. I read what Mr. Burge wrote in hi s book, and although he has a good point here and there, this central idea is wrong.
Texas School teaches Arabic and "Muslim culture" to elementary kids
Mansfield School District was requiring "mandatory" learning of the Arabic language in their elementary school. Also, the children were to be indoctrinated in the Islamic religion (or "Culture," Muslims view religion and culture as the same thing). This is going to be financed with federal funds. So, the American taxpayers are paying for their children to be sent to Islamic madrassas so that the government can convert their children to Islam.
Quote of the Day:
Glen Beck said something to the effect of, "The world is too big to allow one small group-the left-wing, extremist secular-progressive, atheistic liberal democrats-to totally monopolize the news and information as they do." WE MUST break the control the liberals have over the news media , the entertainment industry and education. It is not good for public discourse, freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry for this new established church of the left to criminalize dissent and enforce their dogma over all of society. They are the establishment and they destroy any person they perceive as a threat to themselves and their agenda (Dan Quayle, Judge Bork, Clarence Thomas, Sarah Palin are examples. They have made Mrs. Palin into one of the most hated people in the world. But what has she done that is so bad? She hasn't committed any crimes and seems to have done a pretty good job as governor of Alaska.)
David Horowitz Exposes ACU in CPAC Address
Written by Raven Clabough
Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:00
This year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has dealt with a number of controversies, ranging from the disputed presence of the homosexual Republican organization GoProud to the American Conservative Union's naming of Donald Rumsfeld as this year's Defender of the Constitution recipient. However, none of those controversies have been quite as prominent as the speech delivered by renowned author David Horowitz, in which he implicates a number of ACU board members for potential ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. A 60s leftist, David Horowitz eventually renounced Leftism and embraced conservatism and has made a reputation for himself as a conservative writer and policy advocate. He has authored a number of books, including Reforming Our Universities: The Campaign for an Academic Bill of Rights and Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey. Horowitz recently penned a pamphlet entitled, "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution," which is modeled after Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. In his February 12 CPAC address, Horowitz indicated the two biggest threats to the American republic are leftism on college campuses as well as the links between the American Left and radical Islam. Horowitz specifically addressed the dangers of radical Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that Horowitz contends has infiltrated both the Democrat and Republican parties, as well as the Conservative movement, by way of the Muslim Brotherhood's front groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim American Society, and the Islamic Society of North America. He stated: "The Muslim Brotherhood has been wildly successful in its plan to become more part of America's civil culture and to infiltrate the institutions of America's civil government, including the White House and both political parties as well, and the conservative moment."According to Horowitz, the infiltration of the conservative movement is evident just by taking a cursory glance at the panel on the board of the American Conservative Union, the very same organization responsible for the annual CPAC conference, at which Horowitz was speaking. Revealing no qualms about implicating the very same people who had him appear at this year's conference, Horowitz named a number of ACU board members that have connections to the Muslim Brotherhood: "[ACU board member] Suhail Khan is the proud son of Mahboob Khan and his protégé as he is also the protégé of the convicted terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi, sponsored by his longtime patron Grover Norquist, who has been the pillar of the Conservative movement." It's worthwhile to note that Suhail's father Mahboob ran a large mosque in Santa Clara, California, that catered to Osama Bin Laden's number two man, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Suhail Khan was on President George W. Bush's staff at the time of the September 11 attacks, but was quickly transitioned to the Department of Transportation afterward. Likewise, the Cypress Times reports, "Norquist is said to have been the one who got Khan into the White House. Khan has also been an advisor to CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, an un-indicted terror co-conspirator, Hamas front group and Muslim Brotherhood affiliate." The relationship between Norquist and Khan is clear, as observed by Horowitz:
With Grover's support, Suhail has also been made a board member of the American Conservative Union and was a moderator on a panel on religious liberty yesterday at this event. Suhail Khan used his offices at the Bush White House with the support of Grover to carry weight for the terrorist Sami al-Arian and the attempt to ban the use of secret evidence in terrorist trials-a proposal that thanks to Grover's influence was actually endorsed by President Bush and was only thwarted by the September 11 attacks.
The remainder of Horowitz's speech described the current administration's friendly treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the appointments of members of CAIR and the Islamic Society of North America to top positions in the Department of Homeland Security. Yet listeners could not help but find themselves reeling over the information Horowitz provided that implicated members of the ACU board. David Horowitz credits Frank Gaffney, president of the American Center for Security Policy, as the "courageous bringer of the bad news about Grover and Suhail Khan." Specifically addressing the board of the ACU, Horowitz adds: "Many good conservatives on the board of the ACU refuse to believe the evidence of Suhail's Brotherhood allegiances and agendas. They are of the opinion that Suhail's public appearances with Alamoudi and the Muslim Brotherhood fronts took place a decade ago and that he doesn't promote violent agendas. I understand this." Horowitz later explains, "The conservatives are much too civilized and inclusive and should not be making exceptions for people like Suhail." What will it take for Horowitz to be convinced of Suhail Khan's alleged change of heart? "When an honest person has been a member of a destructive movement and leaves it, he will feel compelled to repudiate it publicly and to warn others of the dangers it poses," Horowitz said. Like William Ayers of the Weather Underground, Mr. Khan has yet to repudiate the violent organization with which he has been connected. Horowitz closed his CPAC talk by urging conservatives to educate themselves further on the Muslim Brotherhood and its various front organizations, and to be "vigilant against its spread to the ranks of the conservative movement, the Republican Party, and the government of the country we love." In an exclusive interview with The New American following his enlightening speech, Horowitz explained what being "vigilant" entails: "They have to educate themselves. Discoverthenetworks.org is an excellent guide to the Left. Also books like The Grand Jihad by Andrew McCarthy and my book Unholy Alliance are excellent resources conservatives can use." Horowitz's willingness to stand before the very group that provided him a speaking platform at the conference was certainly a courageous, and controversial, move. When asked what compelled Horowitz to do so, he told The New American, "There was just too much evidence to ignore the facts." Likewise, Horowitz made a number of attempts to allow Suhail Khan and Norquist to vindicate themselves by answering for the information produced against them. According to Horowitz, Norquist simply refused to address any of the allegations made by Gaffney in his report, replying "I'm too busy with the revolution." By contrast, Khan did address the allegations when Horowitz brought them to his attention, adamantly denying their accuracy. Unfortunately, it was Khan who proved to have a problem with accuracy. For example, Khan explained that despite Gaffney's assertions, he is not responsible for the list of people with approved access to the White House. Gaffney, however, disproved Khan's remarks, by sending Horowitz an approved White House guest list with Khan's name on it as the approver of the guest list. Similarly, Khan claimed that his father was merely a member of the mosque, but did not have a fundraiser for terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri-as his father was accused — seemingly unaware that the Washington Post had published an article on the role Khan's father played in the fundraiser. Once Khan realized that each of his assertions were being discredited by hard evidence, he stopped returning Horowitz's calls. Horowitz asserts that Khan is "an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood and a threat to America." When The New American asked if Horowtiz if he believed Norquist to be a conscious subversive, or, to use Lenin's term, simply a "useful idiot," Horowitz stated simply: "He's not an idiot." Horowitz contends that he will not allow the potential consequences of exposing Norquist's and Khan's connections to the Muslim Brotherhood — such as not being invited back to CPAC — intimidate him from doing so. He told The New American, "This is my mission — to wake up the conservative movement."
Critics Slam U.S. Government, Media for 'Weak' Response to Anti-Christian Attacks
Reported by Fox News February 15, 2011
At least 65 Christians have been killed in attacks across the Muslim world in recent months, sparking sharp criticism from human rights groups that charge the U.S. government and media aren't doing nearly enough to speak out against the violence. A shooting in Egypt last month that killed a Christian man and injured five Christian women was just the latest in the series of attacks, several of which occurred around the holiday season: A New Year's bombing at a Coptic Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt, killed 23 people and injured more than 100; Christmas Eve blasts in Nigeria killed at least 32 -- just part of a night of terror across the country that saw three other churches attacked and six worshipers killed; six perished in a Christmas Day Catholic Church bombing on the island of Jolo, in the Philippines; and a string of New Year's Eve bombings in Iraq left two dead and at least 13 wounded. The spate of attacks has some saying that not enough is being done. "The lack of a policy response beyond sending condolences each time a church or Christians are targeted in some horrific act of violence like in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria etc. is absolutely bewildering," Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, told FoxNews.com. "This should be seen as not only a humanitarian issue, but a security issue." Even the condolence statements have come up short, said Shea. When the Obama administration first noted an Oct. 31 church bombing in Iraq, for example, it sent "a general condolence to Iraqis that didn't even mention the word Christian or churches." That bombing, claimed by an Al Qaeda-linked organization, left 58 people dead and at least 78 wounded. It was the worst attack ever against Iraq's Christian minority. Critics have also charged the U.S. media hasn't done enough to publicize the plight of persecuted Christians.
CBS and ABC aired nothing on the Nigerian attacks, PBS had one "NewsHour" report, while NBC gave the story three briefs mentions on the morning of Dec. 27, according to L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center. "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric instead found the protests against a new Islamic Center set to be built near Ground Zero to be more newsworthy, labeling the "seething hatred" against Muslims in America as one of the "most disturbing stories to surface this year" on her New Year's Eve Internet show. That night, 11 bombs exploded near Christian homes in Baghdad, killing two people and wounding at least 13. And just minutes into the new year, the bombers in Alexandria struck. "ABC aired nothing. CBS and NBC each aired one brief anchor read," according to Bozell. Not everyone agreed with Bozell. "Christians get massive, massive media coverage, way out of proportion to their importance," said media analyst T.J. Walker. "This is another case of an interest group developing the media strategy of 'working the refs' … No matter how fair or generous your media coverage is, complain bitterly that you are being treated unfairly in the hopes of making reporters give you even more positive coverage just to avoid the headache of dealing with nonsense virulent criticism." But Bozell maintained stories of perceived discrimination against Muslims -- like a Florida pastor's proposition to memorialize the 9/11 attacks with "Burn a Koran Day," or a Seattle-based cartoonist's decision to protest Comedy Central's decision to censor an episode of "South Park" that depicted Muhammad in a bear costume -- pick up far more coverage by comparison. "It's appalling that you've got a worldwide assault on Christianity in place, where every week there's a reported attack on some Christian church somewhere by Muslim fanatics and no one's covering it," Bozell said. "…but one idiot in Florida threatens to burn a Koran and everyone's talking about." Included in that everyone was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths," Clinton said about "Burn a Koran Day" at a Sept. 8 dinner in observance of the Muslim holiday Iftar. "It's regrettable that a pastor in Gainesville, Fla., with a church of no more than 50 people can make this outrageous and distressful, disgraceful plan and get the world's attention," she said the same day, at a Council on Foreign Relations event. But some argued the Florida pastor did a better job of getting Clinton's attention than the string of recent attacks against Christians. While State Department spokesman Mark Toner issued a statement on December 31 condemning the New Year's Eve violence in Iraq, and another spokesman, Phillip Crowley, noted the department was "aware of a recent string of attacks against Christians from Iraq to Egypt to Nigeria, Clinton herself did not publicly address the issue.
President Obama did, however, saying the perpetrators of the Egypt attacks "were clearly targeting Christian worshippers" and "must be brought to justice for this barbaric and heinous act." He offered "any necessary assistance to the Government of Egypt in responding to it," as well as to the Government of Nigeria in responding to its attacks. But Shea argued these governments need pressure, and not assistance. Shea said the U.S., which provides billions of dollars in foreign aid to many of these countries, should push them to protect their Christian communities "through a combination of carrots and sticks, sanctions and incentives." She pointed to Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who responded to the attacks by calling for the European Union to reduce or cut aid to countries that do not protect their Christian minorities as an example of what the U.S. leaders should be doing. The EU has yet to act on the proposal. Graeme Bannerman, a scholar at the Middle East Institute and expert on U.S.-Arab relations, said the U.S. may be taking the smarter approach. "Take Egypt for example. The critics do not believe the government there is doing enough; they haven't gone after the Muslims enough; they haven't taken the threat upon the Christian community seriously enough. But there are others who say they may have not reacted rapidly enough, but they're certainly taking action," Bannerman told FoxNews.com, pointing to the recent conviction and death sentence for a Muslim man who killed six Christians and a Muslim guard last year outside a Coptic church on Jan. 6, Coptic Christmas Eve. Shea called the death sentence "unprecedented," and said she hopes to see similarly strong action in other countries. She also warned against what might happen if these Christians minorities are wiped out. "Christians are a moderating force in the Middle East. When they are gone, religious diversity and pluralism goes with them," she said. "…It ultimately means there will be a setback for our own national security interests and the ability of these countries to peacefully coexist with us."
I do think we are heading towards a global war. And it looks to me like England has some serious problems with Islamic radicals-and refuses to do anything about it or acknowledge the problem exists. I saw that myself when I was there. But I loved England and hope to go back. Robert Spencer has written some very good books about Islam. The Barnabas Fund which does good work, puts out good information. There have also been "signs in the heavens." The apparition that appeared above Jerusalem seems to be an authentic incident and not a fraud. It looks like to me that Islam is going to be a serious political force, that the free peoples of the world are either going to have to fight or be destroyed by it. If our governments had the moral courage, we could easily defeat Islamic forces now. Since we are being non-confrontational it looks like to me, they will strengthen their position and many people are going to die needlessly. It is just like Hitler in world war two. Everyone thought Churchill was a crazy, rightwing fanatic and wouldn't listen to him-and they paid a price. In all over 20 million people died in World War 2.

Oh Man ! you exhibit your lone face outwardly
but cleverly hide two more inwardly
Outwardly you are seen to the naked Eye
but your inward face often spins like two
faces of the same coin without clarity
You may look ugly or beautiful Outwardly
while appearance of two of your inner face
is kept hidden in mystery
outwardly your appearance keep changing
smiley in happiness
tearful in sorrow
fearsome in anger
steady while normal
Inwardly you are a hard nut
none can gauge for sure
what you are into
one face of you pretends to be pleasant
while the other spills venom which is hard to crack
One face pretends to be very honest in your deeds
The other face craves for ill gotten wealth
One face acts as if you are very religious
the other face is anything but religious
One face exhibits eloquence towards other cast religion
the other face makes light of the same
one face pretends to be generous
the other face expects returns
One face projects as a dedicated Life partner
the other face thirsty for extra martial affair
Such people who have crooked mind
will always try to put down others
while people with clean mind will be
like messiahs to others
Oh man ! why don't you burn and destroy your negative inner face
you will surely be just one step away from salvation otherwise
you are destined to slog in never ending misery and undoubtedly
salvation runs far away from your stretching hand
Have something to say about the poem?

Most events have general probabilities, or base rates. From the percentage of men who cheat on their wives, to the percentage of dogs with cancer, to the probability of it raining in your location, it is possible to know how likely these events are given no other information. When trying to predict specific probabilities – what is the chance my husband is cheating; what is the likelihood my dog has cancer; what is the likelihood it will rain today, we have two categories of information. One is the general probability, and the other is event-specific information – lipstick on his shirt, or a limp in the dog's walk, or dark clouds. We tend to give more weight to the event-specific information than we should, and sometimes even ignore base rates entirely. An important causal bias is the representativeness heuristic, which states that when asked about likelihood, we instead answer the question of how much this event resembles other events. So when we see clouds, we don't think about how rarely or often it rains. We only consider how well this situation resembles other situations in which it rained, and assign probabilities based on that.
One classic example involves a town with two cab companies, Green and Blue. Blue cabs make up 85% of the cab population. There was a hit-and-run accident involving a cab, and the witness believed that the cab was green. Witnesses are 80% accurate at discerning between blue and green cabs. What is the chance that the cab is green? Many people would say 80%, or something close to it, because they ignore the base rate. The chance it was green is actually 41%.
The Decision Lab is a think tank focused on creating positive impact in the public and private sectors by applying behavioral science.

Weekly bulletin article by Mike Johnson
I remember well the afternoon that I spent in a greenhouse. It was by the order of my dad. His education, both at home and at college, was agriculturally based. My entire home life was deeply connected to those same roots. He so badly wanted me and my brothers to have the experiences he had growing up that he tried to duplicate, in miniature, a farm on our lowly 5 acres located in a town neighborhood! I have many stories that I will not tell here.
I am not sure where the greenhouse was located all these many years later, but I think it was a part of his landscaping teaching job. He put me in there and told me I could not leave until I had memorized the names of all the plants.
Fortunately, I can memorize things pretty well and rather quickly. In just a couple of hours, I had them all memorized and could identify any one of them just by looking at the leaves. I remember only a few of them to this day. Ironically, there have been many times that I have wished I had continued with that initiation so that I would know them today.
I really enjoyed the environment of the greenhouse. As anyone who knows me can attest (just ask Brian as we share a heating system for our offices), I enjoy heat. I enjoy the feel of a hot seat in a car that has been closed up tightly in the middle of the summer! That greenhouse environment including the heavy concentration of moisture is perfect for plants to thrive!
The spiritual environment of the Church is just as necessary for individual Christians to thrive. "…with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:2-3) This is the spiritual environment that will produce the healthiest, deep-rooted Christians. This should be the greenhouse of the local church.

On Monday I went to Secretaría in order to matriculate. Of course it would have been very weird if it had been easy-peasy. I went there with my filled-in matriculation form and my ID. I thought it was sufficient. Nope, it wasn't.
I was told that I needed to have NUSS (which is kind of British NIN) and was given the address I should have gone to apply for it. I wanted to make short work of the matriculation and went to the given address straight away. After 20min-walk I finally arrived there and was referred to the other place because I study science. Okay, so I continued my 'journey' and reached the building with the thought of having reached my final destination. Nope, it wasn't. The first question I was asked at the counter was if I had NIE. Oops… Well, it was the last straw. To be honest, my irritation wasn't caused much by losing the time running from one place to the other and waiting in the queue. What frustrated me most was the question I was asking myself, 'Why no-one had told me earlier what I should have done before matriculation?'.
I didn't have any other choice but start applying for the documents. So on Wednesday, as soon as my Spanish morning classes finished, I went straight away to Comisaría (main police station in the town). Having arrived there in half an hour I sat down and waited almost an hour to be attended to. Luckily, I obtained my NIE in instant after paying 10E fee. Unfortunately, I arrived to my next class 10 mins late. In Edinburgh nothing happens when you arrive to a class late. Here, on the contrary, the slightest delay is inappropriate. The teacher gave me an angry glare. It wasn't nice but what could I do?
Having obtained NIE, I visited Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social to get NUSS (the following day of course. The opening hours of offices are 9-13). Surprisingly, it didn't take more than 5 minutes to have it generated. The same day I went to Secretaría and officially became USAL's (Universidad de Salamanca) student. The day after I went to International Office to pick up my Student's Card, to my Coordinator to get her signature on my Learning Agreement and later to Santander Bank to open a student's bank account which is entirely for free.
I'm so relieved that all paperwork has been done!!! And I don't have a cold anymore.
Last week started Spanish course organized by Cursos Internacionales of USAL. I'm in 'Superior level' group and I have to admit I'm satisfied with the way the classes are delivered. The only disadvantage is that I need to get up about 8 a.m. to get ready for my 9 a.m. class.
Two final miscellaneous news:
1. I'm going to Portugal with Erasmus students in 2 weeks. The 4-day-trip has been organized by Erasmus Student Network (Facebook. Connecting people). I can't wait!
2. I've found beans and tomato sauce in Día (chain of Spanish supermarkets). And guess what. I had beans'n'toast for my breakfast one day. It felt like Scotland!
Until next week!

This is a Picture Jasper Yoni Egg measuring about roughly 44 mm by 33 mm at its widest, and it stands about 1.9"
The Egg does come with a stand
This size would be considered medium to large. This stone is NOT drilled.
This would be a perfect addition to any altar as well, if you decided not to use it as a Yoni egg.
"Picture Jasper, a remarkable form of Brown Jasper, is characterized by masterful "scenes" and landscape patterns formed by Nature, and is believed to contain hidden messages from the past. It was revered in many cultures of the world for its deep connection to the Earth, its protection during shamanic journeying, and its ability to divine the land and the future. It is perhaps more closely connected to the planet than any other Jasper and is known today as the Stone of Global Awareness.
"Highly attuned to the Earth's electromagnetic fields and energy systems, Picture Jasper provides a remarkable ability during meditation to merge with the consciousness of Earth. It allows access to the vast records stored within the planet's mineral data base, and may be used to view the world's history and connect with the energy of sacred sites and ancient civilizations. It encourages ecological responsibility, and acts as a reminder that one is not here on the physical plane simply for oneself, but to bring joy and substance to others.
"A nurturing, protective stone, Picture Jasper brings comfort and alleviates fear, stimulating not only the Base Chakra in providing physical and spiritual energy for the body, but also activates the Third Eye Chakra enhancing visualization. It instills a sense of proportion and harmony, enlivening one's creativity and initiative, and is a marvelous talisman for bringing hidden emotions to the surface for healing."

Metal Wani Reviews Far and Near
Metal Wani is one of the well known websites for metal and progressive music. Recently they reviewed Fire Garden upcoming record 'Far and Near' with comments such as
The new album still had the wonderful and peaceful vibes of the past with a better sense of direction and a new level of articulation
Be it a tiring day, something eventful or the urge for some nostalgic sounds, 'Far and Near' is the album for the times
Take in the psychedelic elements the music has to offer in its finer nuances which keep themselves far from the tense moments of the album. Songs like "A New Day" and "Life of a Drifter" do just that.

ive got my d80.hohoho....lama betul aku tunggu. spent rm1700 for it (not the same package from the earlier post) on last wednesday and spent another rm720 on nikon speedlite sb600 the next day. rm2.4k in two days. alamatnye kering la aku hujung semester ni. nevermind. haha...
why did i spent that much juz in two days? bcoz i want to join razi and pino to shoot a wedding. yes, it's their very first job and i'm juz tumpang sekaki. not to earn the money (the upah was theirs) but the experience.
the job requires us to shoot for 3 days. the first day was for the nikah ceremony (at a mosque in wangsa maju) and outdoor shoot (at taman tasik titiwangsa). very exhausting. wa x tipu punye. betul2 penat.
2nd day was for the kenduri at bride's house. i didn't join razi and pino that day bcoz i had to participate in a taekwondo tournament. got runner-up. ok jugak la kan. huhu...
after having sakit2 badan from the tournament, i got to shoot for the 3rd day which was the kenduri and bersanding at the grooms house. but i shot only 26 photos. nothing much to shoot. the canopy was so crowded and there were already razi and pino doing the job. so the foods were for me to eat. i enjoyed the meal then. haha...
so what did i get from the first wedding shoot experience?
lots of crapy photos of course. defenitely need to learn much more. nevertheless, i'm still glad to get to experience the wedding shoot job. will do better next time. thanks razi and pino for the opportunity and all the best for your many offers to come.
