The librarian got up from her seat and stepped towards the young Lutari, who had allowed the golf club she was brandishing to slip in her grip into a much less threatening position.
"What are you doing in here?!" shrieked the Aisha. "The institute is closed! You're not allowed to be here!"
The obscurity of the situation suddenly settled upon Ursula as she glanced around the room she stood in the middle of. What had originally served as a storage area for tools and other clunky equipment with complicated names had been refurbished into a crude classroom, with Mrs. Healey as the sole pupil. The chalk board was adorned with a string of archaic Shenkuuvian typography, along with the appropriate translations. Had Piao not been physically restrained the scene would have been typical of an overly formal extra-curricular mentoring environment.
"What's going on here?" Briar stepped further into the room, as if being able to see more of her surroundings would somehow cause them to align into something that made a modicum of sense.
"She's been keeping us here, making us teach her things," blurted out Piao. "Nitwit, Casey and some other kids, I don't know who they all are. She's had us all tied to the pipes and then brings us out for these psycho lessons."
"No talking in class!" shouted Mrs. Healey. Her usually pleasant manner had been completely stripped away and replaced with one of anger, edged with an almost manic devotion to school work. She picked up her pencil case off the desk and lobbed it at Ursula. Fortunately she had a terrible aim, and so it sailed over her shoulder and scattered its contents across the floor.
Ursula looked at the pencil case, then at Piao, then back at Mrs. Healey. It started as a slight pulse in a vein in her forehead, then grew until it was a twitch in her eyebrow, a flare of the nostrils, a curl of the lip and finally a full on display of her gritted teeth. The golf club hit the floor with a metallic clang and she threw her entire body into a full-frontal lunge at the librarian.
"GrrraaaaAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHH!!! YOU RUINED MY YOOYUBALL SEASON!!!"
The desk was sent flying as the pair fell to the floor and began wrestling with one another. Briar used the distraction to grab the golf club from the floor and let loose a swing at the edge of the rail above the chalk board loaded with as much force as her relatively demure frame could muster. The rail buckled and twisted away from the wall; it needed only one final yank on the rope from Piao to pull the screws loose and slip the looped end of his bindings free.
He motioned for her and Skeet to follow him through a door on the opposite side of the room and they obey, but not before the latter cast a glance back at Ursula. She was currently sat on top of Mrs. Healey, pinning her to the floor; clearly she had the situation under control.
"The others are down here," said Piao, leading them down a narrow shaft lined with steel panels. "She kept us all locked up in here and then brought us out one at a time when it was 'our turn'."
He turned sharply and stood before a heavy metal, the label on the wall announced that this was the plumbing station for the building. He slid a half-rusted bolt out of its confines and heaved the door wide open. Inside, Skeet swept his torch around the walls and the beam of light fell on a procession of grimy faces that recoiled from the light like Lizarks.
Freeing them all turned out to be extremely easy; Mrs. Healey was thoughtful enough to have left a ring of keys to their locks on a hook just inside the door. The most difficult part proved to be helping them all out of the room, being forced to sit on a hard, stone floor leant against pipes for over a week had taken its toll on the mobility of a number of the captives. Briar was astonished to see seven students huddle out into the light, blinking heavily. She'd known that three of them were missing but to discover there were others that had seemingly gone unnoticed made her all the more glad they had arrived when they had.
The ten of them filed back out along the narrow passageway and into the 'classroom' where the revelations had begun. There they discovered Mrs. Healey, the sleeves of her torn, purple jumper tied together behind her back, her face daubed with the phrase "I am a nutcase" scrawled repeatedly in blue ink, and Ursula seated triumphantly on the desk beside her, pen still in hand and a grin on her face.
* * * * *
"So let me get this straight," Judge Hog said, scratching behind one of his ears in bewilderment. "Mrs. Healey had been receiving secret lessons from the head of the etymology department, Mrs. Owen, and when she had to take leave from her post at the institute to tend to matters at home, Mrs. Healey began kidnapping students and forcing them to teach her instead, going on to flood the entire building to make sure that it was evacuated so that nobody would uncover her plan? Is that what you're telling me? I just want to make sure I have this absolutely correct, that I'm not misunderstanding you in any way."
"That's what I said," replied Nitwit proudly, once again pushing his glasses up his squinty little nose.
Judge Hog looked flabbergasted, but the story had been corroborated by each of the captives and so it really seemed like they were telling the truth. He thanked the young Chia for his insight and then went over to speak to the Acara nurse who had arrived on the scene to help care for the rescued students. She was in the process of carrying out a medical assessment of Piao when he approached.
"Is this the last one?" he asked.
"Yep," replied the nurse, "all are a bit battered and bruised but no permanent harm done. At least she fed and watered them; we should be grateful for small mercies." Piao winced as she cleaned a small cut on his cheek and she apologised.
Ursula, the hero of the moment, was leaning against the side of the ambulance with her arms folded. "What will happen to Madam Crazy Pants over there?" She jerked a thumb in the direction of Mrs. Healey, who was currently being restrained by Sergeant Brexis and Lightning Lenny.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of her from here," said Judge Hog. "I don't think she'll be accepting any librarian's positions for quite some time."
The students gathered in the largest of the lecture halls for an assembly with the dean once more, just as they had at the beginning of the term. This time, however, much of the chatter was focused on the subject of the room's new decor following the flooding, an event which had already been nicknamed 'The Great Washout'.
"Where is she? She's always late, that girl," complained Briar.
As if on cue, her sister came dashing down the corridor, slowing to a more respectable speed as she drew into the eyesight of the tutors littering the hall. She pardoned and excused her way through the first four students on the row to finally drop down into the seat beside her sister.
"Here's my hero," joked Piao, reaching behind Briar to give Ursula a playful dig in the shoulder.
Ursula grinned; Briar rolled her eyes. "She wasn't the only one who rescued you, you know," she iterated for at least the fifth time since that most eventful of days. "Skeet and I were there too."
Skeet wasn't too forceful about reminding people of his part in the plan; he was happy to just quietly hug his knees whenever the matter was raised and hope that nobody asked him if he had been scared at all.
Their discussion, along with those going on all around them, was brought to an abrupt close by the appearance of the dean at the lectern.
"Now, now, settled down please, everybody," he said. Once he had quiet he continued. "I'm sure you're all very much aware of the recent happenings here at the institute, but I can categorically state for the record that those incidents have been entirely resolved, so there is nothing for any of you to worry about..."
"Psst," hissed Ursula to get the attention of Skeet. "Say thank you to your mum for all that florangeade she sent me; that stuff is amazing." Skeet beamed back at her and gave her a thumbs up sign. She didn't see it, though, as his sleeve was draped off the end of his wrist, entirely obscuring his hand.
"... Ahem, Miss Woodridge," said the dean, calling attention to her. "You may have been responsible for scoring the deciding goal that allowed us to advance to the next round of the collegiate Yooyuball tournament, but..." He was suddenly cut off by a raucous cheer and a spontaneous burst of the institute's game chant from all in attendance.
"Yes, yes, settle down, please. As I was saying, you may have done that, but (this time he got in the 'but' before anybody could start up an encore of applause) that doesn't give you permission to chatter during my assembly. Kindly keep your conversation until later."
Ursula blushed slightly and bowed her head apologetically, more so because she was aware that everybody was suddenly looking at her.
"In other news," the dean continued, "we are sad to see the back of our most recent acquisition, Dr. Eliv Thade. It seems he has been called back to his mansion, or something; couldn't for the life of me understand what he was saying. Anyway, since Mrs. Owen still hasn't returned, please join me in welcoming our new temporary etymology and grammar tutor, Edna! If nothing else, she can certainly teach you all a thing or two about spelling, eh?"
The dean began to laugh rather too hard at his own joke; everybody else in the room let out a collective groan.

Being active is an important part of losing weight and keeping it off. The more active you are the more calories you burn up, which can make it easier to lose weight.
Why does weight matter?
Many people worry about their weight at some point during their life. Maybe you have struggled with your weight going up and down for years, or perhaps it increased following a difficult time in your life.
If you are overweight or obese, you are not alone – according to the World Health Organization, around 1.4 billion adults worldwide are overweight or obese. But being overweight or obese can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

The Art of Argument
By Debra Bruno
October 19, 2016
In this season of debate, this might be a good time to see what we really know about the art of argument.
We checked in with some of D.C.'s deans of dispute and leaders of litigation to figure out what they've done to win a case, convince a judge or jury, or simply score a few legal points.
To be sure, the finesse that a top litigator might use in a courtroom is a far cry from political debate, and we are not going there. Nevertheless, this still feels like a good time to look at some of the tips from those who have spent long enough and made enough mistakes to pass on words of wisdom.
Sidley Austin LLP star Virginia Seitz—mentioned in 2008 as a possible U.S. Supreme Court nominee—teaches a seminar for new associates that she calls "Top Ten Tips for Oral Arguments." She has a few pointers.
- Know when to stop talking. Seitz recalls one of her earlier cases, a district court argument about a pension plan, which she had worked on for two weeks. She knew her case cold. What she ignored, though, was the signal that the judge was giving her when he verbally destroyed the opposing lawyer. Even so, Seitz could not let it rest. "What I did was take the judge's time when he was signaling to me in every possible way that I should just not talk," she recalls. She found out later that the judge was not pleased. Luckily, she still won the case.
- Don't focus on yourself; focus on your client. "If you're really worried about your own experience, you won't have the right frame of mind," she tells nervous young associates. However, she adds, that pointer is "not at all true in political debate."
- Use the "let me try it this way" approach. This works best when you feel an argument is not getting through. Rather than moving on to a new topic or hammering home the same point, trying a different approach shows you've been listening and "understand that it didn't work as you hoped it would," she says.
Arent Fox LLP's Barbara Wahl, a commercial litigator, has some other pointers, although she points out that there is a "huge difference" between arguing a motion and doing a jury trial. Even so, she offers a few tips.
- The "gold standard" in preparation is to run a moot court, Wahl says. "If you have the luxury of having difficult, smart colleagues who are willing to put you through your paces, your argument will be better," she says.
- Know your audience. If the "decider" is a judge in an appeals court, for instance, the focus will be making a new law in that area. In that case, you'll be arguing something that would go beyond your own case and you need to think in that way. In jury trials, the focus would be totally different, she says.
- Be prepared, and don't be afraid to ask what might seem impolite. She recalls a case in which she didn't ask a crucial question during a deposition: whether a witness had been convicted of a crime. "If I had asked what is an uncomfortable personal question at a deposition," Wahl recalls, "I would have had time to figure it all out, and research the material." Then again, this case took place before the age of easy Internet searches, so missing that part would be even more inexcusable today.
Matthew Martens of WilmerHale LLP, formerly a top litigator for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, has one crucial point for young lawyers.
- Remember that "judges are people, too," he says. "Many times young lawyers think they should argue careful legal points, because judges are lawyers and law is what carries the day." But the truth is that "a good story beats a good legal argument any time." Judges want to know what the story is. When Martens was a young associate, he was in a lawsuit against an insurance company. Martens says he had a "very technical argument" while his co-counsel "launched into this compelling story about how his client had purchased insurance in the hopes of having the necessary coverage." He adds, "the judge just seemed enraptured with his story." That moment 17 years ago, which he won, "is forever stuck in my mind."
Amy Wigmore, a vice chair of WilmerHale's Litigation/Controversy Department, notes that this season's debates seem to break many of the courtroom rules. In court, she notes, do not interrupt a judge or your adversary. "All of us can recall a time when we've jumped the gun and started talking before the judge finished" or interrupted the adversary. "That's frowned upon," she says. Here are some other pointers.
- Answer the question. Again, she notes, this might be a big difference from political debate. "With time and experience, you learn to answer the question directly," she notes. If it doesn't help your case, the goal then is to "weave toward the affirmative point you want to make," Wigmore says.
- Be prepared on both the facts and the record. A judge might ask where in the record he could find a piece of information, so the lawyer needs to have an outline not just of the points, but where they can be found, she says.
- Keep it simple. "It's a great idea to go into it with a maximum of three points and themes you want to address," she says. "You only have a limited amount of time."
- Remember the big picture. Wigmore recalls a patent case in which the judge asked out of curiosity, how does this device work? "I was happy that I had spent some time working with the company" so that she understood how the device functioned, she says. "It would have been quite embarrassing if I didn't have a response."

Hanging on the telephone
I'm glad that we're all alone
Felling kind of cool today
Listening to what you say
Rainbows in my head
Green red and blue
Saying I'm in love with you
I don't care what people seem to say
What's a punk to do
See I'm confessing that you're messing with
My heart today
And I'm addicted to your funny face
We're not mtx but it's all O. K.
'Cause my heart's in the right place
I've got the sun and the moon and the stars above
'Cause today I fell in love
Living a private world
Infatuated with that girl
Someone explained that to me
Candy's awful nice that much is true
But not as sweet as you
As sure as there are clouds up in the sky
I'm in love with you
See I'm confessin' that you're messin' with my
Heart today. Etc. Etc.

Environmental fiscal reform (EFR)
"The term environmental fiscal reform (EFR) refers to: a range of taxation or pricing instruments that can raise revenue, while simultaneously furthering environmental goals. This is achieved by providing economic incentives to correct market failure in the management of natural resources and the control of pollution.
Broadly speaking, EFR can: 1) mobilise revenue for governments; 2) improve environmental management practices and conserve resources; and 3) reduce poverty. By encouraging more sustainable use of natural resources, and reducing pollution from energy use and industrial activities, EFR can address environmental problems that threaten the livelihoods of the poor. The revenues raised by EFR can also be used to finance poverty reduction measures. EFR can therefore contribute to poverty reduction, and in turn, help achieve the Millennium Development Goals of 'halving absolute poverty by the year 2015' and 'reversing the loss of environmental resources'".1
"By encouraging more sustainable use of natural resources, such as forests and fisheries, and by providing incentives to reduce pollution from energy use and industrial activities, EFR also addresses environmental problems that make a difference to the livelihoods of the poor. Indeed, because of the interdependence of environmental degradation and poverty, a sound environment is crucial to poverty reduction and sustainable growth, particularly in low-income countries.
The revenue generated can also be directed, through programmes of targeted expenditure, to poverty reduction. For example, the revenue could be used to finance poor people's access to water, sanitation or energy services. Past experience suggests that the potential of EFR to raise revenue is one of the primary reasons why developing country governments and Ministries of Finance in particular, are likely to pursue it.
EFR is therefore concerned with a limited intersection of two large policy areas – fiscal policy and environmental policy. Despite being limited, it is an increasingly significant area of development policy, because of the potential contribution EFR has to make to poverty reduction in developing countries. It is also an area that may not have received enough attention in the past, from both fiscal or environmental experts and their associated institutions."1
"To use market forces to drive green growth, prices need to reflect the full ecological and social costs of production and consumption. This requires the use of fiscal tools, such as taxes and subsidies, in a way that does not affect the poor or reduce competitiveness and is politically acceptable. Properly designed environmental tax reforms and environmental fiscal reforms can be powerful drivers for green growth and achieve the double dividend of higher economic growth and lower environmental impact."2
"EFR encompasses a wide range of taxation and pricing instruments, which can be used to address country- and sector-specific environmental and resource use issues, including:
- Taxes on natural resource use (e.g. forestry and fisheries) - to reduce the inefficient exploitation of publicly owned or controlled natural resources resulting from operators not paying a price that reflects the full value of the resources they extract.
- User charges or fees and subsidy reform - to improve the provision and quality of basic services such as water and electricity, while providing incentives to reduce any unintentional environmental effects arising from their inefficient use.
- Environmentally related taxes – to make polluters (industrial activities, motor vehicles, waste generators) pay for the "external costs" of their activities, and encourage them to reduce these activities to a level that is more socially desirable."1

Carrillo Rejoins Club
Sunday, 1st Sep 2019 15:41
Guido Carrillo has rejoined CD Leganes on a season long loan on the eve of the European Transfer window closing.
Guido Carrillo has become the forgotten man of Southampton FC, in fairness although his transfer back in January 2018 was a panic buy, he was not as bad as some would have you believe and the players who surrounded him back then were no better and in some cases worse, that did not help his cause.
He spent the whole of last term with CD Leganes and he will again spend this season on loan with them.
From a Saints viewpoint they aren't recouping any of the transfer money, but at least they will be getting some, hopefully most of his wages off the bill.
This is good news and now we have to wait and see whether the squad can be trimmed further in the next day.

Matches of Yesteryear - Millwall v U's 14/4/99 by wessex_exile
And so here we are, at what would have been the last match of the domestic season, at home to FGR, and almost certainly still in with a shout of making the play-offs – maybe even already guaranteed by now. As I look out this morning, it's a beautiful sunny day, and I would almost certainly already be on the first leg of a train journey to be amongst the faithful at the Jobserve Community Stadium. Given the location of our opponents, I'd probably be sharing the journey with a few hundred FGR supporters too, but they've always been a friendly bunch whenever I've met them, so I wouldn't have been too concerned about that. Instead, we sit and wait to see how and when the season may (or may not) finish – strange times indeed…
Matches of Yesteryear - U's v Accrington Stanley 13/1/04 by wessex_exile
Happy Saturday everyone…well, less of the happy actually, with rain falling freely since yesterday afternoon. Still, good weather to be in lockdown for, takes away that feeling that you might be missing out on some quality time outside. In an open letter yesterday to all supporters of EFL clubs, chairman Rick Parry stated "…with or without spectators, delivering a successful conclusion to the 2019/20 season remains our goal to ensure the integrity of our competitions". If that can be achieved, it appears almost certain these will be matches behind closed doors, streamed live to all supporters – which inevitably will break the long-held Saturday 3pm blackout for televised matches. We all know why that blackout was in place, but this is a difficult time, and it requires an innovative solution.
Matches of Yesteryear - Swansea v U's 7/3/06 by wessex_exile
Good afternoon everyone, I sincerely hope you're all doing well, and hopefully not going too cabin-feverish! Today would have been a home match against Oldham Athletic, and after our surely guaranteed epic 3-2 victory at Sixfields on Good Friday, it would be just one more victory needed to guarantee a play-off place…think I might have been out in the sun a bit too much over the last few days 😊
Matches of Yesteryear - Yeovil v U's 30/9/17 by wessex_exile
Good afternoon everyone, and first and foremost I must take the opportunity to wish you all a happy, healthy and most of all chocolicious Bank Holiday Easter weekend. This morning I should have been waking up in Langenhoe with all the kids, probably slightly muzzy-headed after my cousin's wedding yesterday, and preparing for the journey home via Sixfields to watch the U's bolster their promotion hopes. Needless to say, first the EFL, and then the wedding had to be postponed, so here I am still in North Wilts, though what a beautiful day it is!
Matches of Yesteryear - U's v Swans 3/4/01 by wessex_exile
Good afternoon everyone, North Wilts calling. We've all no doubt heard (and used) variations of the expression "strange times we're going through" during this crisis. They certainly are, and without a doubt the term crisis is apt, with deaths and positive tests seemingly rising almost exponentially at the moment. But we'll get through this, and when we do, I firmly believe as a society we'll be better for it. We'll be a society better connected to our family, friends and neighbours, and more caring for those that need support. More so, we'll be a society in tune with the concept that we don't have to burn fossil fuels to conduct business, we do have the technology available to avoid it, we'll all be pretty adept at using it, and will all be far more comfortable with using it. It's an ill wind...

Hello Creative Friends!
I am still busy working on cards to share with you that show off some of the great new products in the holiday catalog. In the meantime I figured I would show you a card that showcases one of the awesome sets from the annual catalog. This card was made using the Waterfront stamp set and there is actually a fabulous stamp set in the holiday catalog that would coordinate with it beautifully!
We made this card in my card class recently. One of the best things I found as everyone made this card is there is no right or wrong way! This stamp set is very forgiving and lets you really become an artist!
To make this card I used Daffodil Delight for the Sun, Pool Party stamped off once for the clouds, Smoky Slate to stamp the mountains, Crumb Cake to stamp the sand area, a combination of Balmy Blue and Pool Party for the water, a combination of Garden Green and Old Olive for the grassy area and Garden Green for the trees. I wanted less white space in the water area so I used a sponge dauber to add in some Pool Party ink. The Sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue. I wanted to keep this card simple so I used simple layers of Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue cardstock. I did also add a little Wink of Stella in the water to make it appear more like waves.
If you like this stamp set then you will also love the new Holiday Catalog stamp set called Snowfront. Here is what it looks like:
Can you see how well these two stamp sets could coordinate? I sure can!
I hope to have some creations to share with you that showcase the products from the holiday catalog soon!

Českosaské Švýcarsko is kind of funny geographical name of the area, meaning Czech/Bohemian (Česko) Saxon (Saské) Switzerland (Švýcarsko). Any idea where you can find it? Partially in the Czech Republic, partially in Germany (the Saxony part of the country, but check the wiki because "Saxony" can be pretty complicated even within Germany :-)).
You can visit both Switzerlands (Boheiman and Saxon) in my today's Insta Friday post.

For today's Insta Friday post I have a collection of beautiful St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. It is the most important church in our country, the seat of Archibishop, roman catholic church. It was built from 1344 (first half started) to 1929 (second half finished) with lot of work done in between.
My most favorite part of the cathedral are the stained glass windows at the new part of the Cathedral, works of Czech artists Alfons Mucha and Max Švabinský. And in the gallery you can see why I like it so much.

One of the most famous religious places in Prague, the Church Of Our Lady Victorious, but more known as the church with Baby Infant Jesus. I call it Baby Barbie Jesus, as nuns are changing the dresses of little Jesus all year round, for Christmas leaving him "naked". I make a picture always when I visit the church and I am really surprised how many dresses I have already seen. You can find them in the gallery bellow in my Insta Friday post.

The life next to the river is just beautiful. Specially in Summer or Spring, but all the seasons are wonderful. The river that flows through Prague is Vltava (Moldau), and it is the longest river in the Czech Republic, and it flows only here, as it springs in the South in Šumava Mountains and it flows to Labe (Elbe)river about 20 km North from Prague. For this weeks Insta Friday I have a gallery of the life around Vltava in Prague. The most important inhabitants of it are swans :-).

I will ask for a third time in the MQT on Tuesday the question what the government is doing to purge the country of the infamy of a "global kleptocracy" – a test of whether Malaysian Parliament is first or third world Parliament
I will ask for a third time in the third session of Minister's Question Time (MQT) next Tuesday the question what the government is doing to purge the country of the infamy of a "global kleptocracy", which will be a test of whether the Malaysian Parliament is capable of becoming a first-world Parliament or is destined to be relegated to a third-world Parliament status.
I had boycotted the two MQTs last Tuesday and Thursday in protest agains the parliamentary charade pretending that Malaysia's infamy for being a "global kleptocracy" does not exist.
I had on both MQT occasions submitted a question to ask the Prime Minister what action the government was taking to cleanse and purge the national infamy of being regarded world-wide as a "global kleptocracy", but on both occasions, the question was not picked by the Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, as one of the three questions for answer during the MQT.
During the first day of Parliament last Monday, the Speaker made a most shocking and extraordinary ruling, barring all questions on the US Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit filed on July 20 seeking forfeiture of US$1billion 1MDB-linked assets in the United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland from over US$3 billion international embezzlement, misappropriation and money-laundering of 1MDB funds on the ground that it is "sub judice".
Pandikar is making a Speaker's ruling which sets a world precedent, for no other Parliament in the world applies the "sub judice" rule arising from lawsuits in foreign countries.
This appears to be an attempt to censor and outlaw all debate and discussion not only about the DOJ action but anything concerning the 1MDB scandal and infamy as a "global kleptocracy" in the Malaysian Parliament.
All over the world, the reverberations from Malaysia being regarded world-wide as a global kleptocracy as a result of the 1MDB global financial scandal continues unabated, but in the Malaysian Parliament there is the great pretence that Malaysia's infamy being regarded world-wide as a global kleptocracy as a result of the 1MDB global financial scandal does not exist and had become a "sensitive" subject which could not be raised in Parliament.
If this parliamentary pretence is not challenged and countered, Parliament in Malaysia will never become first-world Parliament, and will be relegated to a third-world Parliament status, whatever high-sounding parliamentary reforms like the MQT may be attempted.
Parliament does not become a first-world Parliament just because of innovations where the Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak used power-point for his budget speech on Friday, if MPs are not allowed to raise grave and burning issues in the country in Parliament.
In this connection, I want to know whether Opposition MPs could use the power-point facilities during their speeches in Parliament, or whether the power-point facilities are specially reserved for the Prime Minister's use only.
If so, this will be a grave breach of parliamentary privileges, and the Prime Minister should be referred to the Committee of Privileges for a grave breach of privilege especially as the House Committee was never consulted about the power point facilities for Najib for his 2017 budget speech.

Visualization is one of the most powerful mind exercises we can do. A study published in Psychology Today reported the brain patterns activated when you lift weights are also similarly activated when you just imagine (visualized) lifting weights.
You may have heard that tools like a vision board help you to stay motivated and focused on your goals. This report tells us WHY it is such a powerful tool. When it comes to creating your vision board, there are no rules! You want to include ANYTHING that motivates or inspires you.
Think about what your goals are in the following areas: relationships, career and finances, home, travel, personal growth (including spirituality, social life, education) and health. If you are someone struggling with staying motivated on your health and fitness goals, be sure to include them on your vision board. It would also be a good idea to share your vision board with your coach!
You may decide that you want a DREAM BIG vision board and then have other short-term vision boards. I like to have one BIG board to help me focus on the year and then keep a monthly vision board to stay on track with my monthly goals.
The fun fact about a vision board is that it is YOURS! As your vision, dreams or goals adjust, simply redo or modify your vision board however often you want. We know that life changes — why would we want to focus on achieving something that is no longer a goal of ours? The point is to help you focus!
I have a few friends who are SUPER crafty and creative with their vision boards, I have a few friends who just write their goals out on a poster board and several, including myself, somewhere in between! If crafting isn't on your list of things to do, you could always use technology programs like Canva or PicMonkey. I find a dry erase board does the trick for me!
Now that you know what kind of board you want to create, you need to set the mood. Do you like to work in the quiet? Do you think well with music? What kind of lighting do you find helps you to be creative?
I like quiet with dim lighting in the early morning with a mug of hot green tea. I like to really pray over each goal, each vision, each dream — and really ask God to guide my direction. Am I creating GOD sized goals? Am I creating a vision HE wants me to seek?
Do you create vision boards? How have they helped you in your life or career?

North Carolina Competes Act HB 117 Gives New Kings Mountain Data Center Tenants Millions of Dollars in Tax Exemptions for Both Construction and Operations.
Kings Mountain, NC, USA (March 5, 2016) -- T5 Data Centers™, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments, has been granted tax exempt status by the state of North Carolina for its new build-to-suit project at the company's King's Mountain Data Center campus. The tax incentive was awarded under the recently enacted HB 117, the North Carolina Competes Act, which grants tax privileges specifically to data centers, and will provide tax exemption for both data center construction and operations.
Under the tax exemption umbrella, T5 Data Centers is exempt from paying sales or use taxes on major equipment and supporting infrastructure during construction of the new build-to-suit data center. The savings during construction are expected to be significant for T5 as well as for T5's customers. It also means that T5 Data Centers and its new customer will be exempt from taxes related to data hall IT deployments and facility operations, which includes expenses for servers, hardware, equipment, and taxes on electricity. To qualify for the tax exemption, a cumulative anticipated investment of $75 million has to be made in the data center over five years.
"With the new data center tax incentives, North Carolina becomes an even better location for companies seeking to build a high-performance data center facility," said Robbie Sovie, Vice President of Construction Services. "The tax savings during the construction phase are substantial, and our customers are already talking about reallocating those tax savings to assist with continued investment in the Kings Mountain data center. This new tax incentive package continues to make North Carolina one of the most cost-effective locations to build and operate a data center."
The tax exemption savings new Kings Mountain tenants receive under HB 117 are in addition to the agreements T5 Data Centers has negotiated with the City of Kings Mountain and Cleveland County for 30-year rebates on real and personal property. The combined tax incentives make T5's Kings Mountain campus an attractive location for data center investment.

SPECULATORS IN OIL AND GAS – SAME AS THE SPECULATORS IN THE MORTGAGE MARKETShttp://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN1933803520080619
More proof; Wall Street is its' own separate nation, unconcerned with the good of the United States; Street lobby working furiously to head off any regulation or oversight of oil speculation:
"…..In a pair of lengthy and sometimes testy closed-door sessions in the Senate last week, executives from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, two of Wall Street's largest investment banks, made the case that their multibillion-dollar investments in energy contracts have not led to higher oil prices. Rather, they told Democratic staff members of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee that the trades allow international markets to operate efficiently and that the run-up in oil prices results not from speculation but from actual imbalances of supply and demand. ….."http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25253877/
– Republicans and Democrats have a fundamentally different approach to tackling high gas prices
– Republicans offer the same old tired slogans that they have touted throughout the Bush years and that haven't done anything to combat the increase in gas prices
– More Drilling: Domestic drilling has not led to lower prices. Since 2000, drilling has increased dramatically – climbing about 66 percent– while gas prices continue to increase. and gas companies have shown that they cannot keep pace with the rate of drilling permits that the federal government is handing out – over the past 4 years they have received and are sitting on nearly 10,000 permits that they aren't using to increase domestic production. Since 1999, drilling permits for oil and gas development on public lands increased more than 361 percent.
– OCS: The vast majority of federal oil and gas resources located on the OCS are already open for development – of all the oil and gas believed to exist on the OCS, nearly 80% of oil and 82% of natural gas is located in areas already open for leasing. In 2006, the federal government opened 8.3 million new acres in the Gulf of Mexico to drilling, yet gasoline prices have increased by $1.69 per gallon. Only 10.5 million of the 44 million leased offshore acres are actually producing oil or gas.
– Open ANWR: EIA estimates that if we open ANWR today, twenty years down the road, at peak production, gas prices would be lowered at the maximum by $1.44 per barrel, which translates to only a few cents a gallon. Increased conservation and the use of alternative technologies in the last three years have cut the projected need for imported oil between now and 2050 by more than 100 billion barrels (EIA) – ten times more benefit than what we might be able to get a decade from now from ANWR.
– More Refineries: We have excess refining capacity. Last week, our refineries were running at 89% capacity – well below the 95-98% capacity use rates we've seen this time of year for the last decade. Republicans argue that environmental regulations are preventing new refineries from being built in the U.S. From 1975 to 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received only one permit request for a new refinery, which was approved. In addition, oil companies are regularly applying for – and receiving – permits to modify and expand their existing refineries.
– Democrats are being aggressive today to lower prices and reduce dependence on foreign oil while thinking ahead to tomorrow
– Working to Address Rising Gas Prices
– Enacted legislation to increase oil supply by temporarily suspending the fill of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the nation's crude oil stockpile. (H.R. 6022)
– Gave the FTC new authority to crack down on those manipulating wholesale energy markets to keep prices high in the Energy Independence and Security Act (H.R. 6)
– Approved the Gas Price Relief for Consumers Act (H.R. 6074) to hold the OPEC monopoly accountable for price fixing that flouts the free market and artificially drives up the cost of crude oil.
– Passed the Federal Price Gouging Prevention Act (H.R. 1252) to investigate price gouging by retailers who may be using the cover of high prices to unfairly inflate their rates even further.
– Investing in a Sustainable, Energy Independent America
– Enacted the landmark Energy Independence and Security Act (H.R. 6) that raised vehicle fuel efficiency for the first time in 32 years and increased the renewable fuels standard.
– Passed the Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Act (H.R. 5351) to end unnecessary subsidies to oil companies making record profits and invest in clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency.
– Approved the Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act (H.R. 6049) to renew and expand tax incentives for renewable energy.
– Passed the Food and Energy Security Act (H.R. 2419) that promotes the development of biofuels, including those from non-corn sources.
– We are continuing to talk with Committees about further possible action.

A 2004 study by the government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that drilling in ANWR would trim the price of gas by 3.5 cents a gallon by 2027…."

The Research and Innovation Office, University of Lagos (UNILAG), says the recent launch of two Africa Centres of Excellence in the institution would boost knowledge production with a continental outlook.
The Director of the office, Prof. Wellington Oyibo, made the assertion while reflecting on the Centres of Excellence launched on Sept. 5, with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.
NAN reports that the university in conjunction with the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), launched Centres of Excellence for Unemployment and Skills Development in Africa and Urbanisation and Habitable Cities in Africa.
According to Oyibo, such knowledge production will have elements of capacity building through doctoral research and training of Ph.D students that will be of high level manpower to address several issues in the areas of unemployment, industrialisation and smart cities.
"When we have these experts, they will in turn give back to the society by proffering solutions to various life challenges in the continent rather than taking their expertise abroad.
READ ALSO Navy to upgrade facilities in formations, units
"In Africa today, part of the most worrisome challenges we face is that of the high youth unemployment rate just like we have issues of slums and many others.
"So, with such knowledge production too, there will be top level capacity building that will bring solutions to the multi-faceted challenges plaguing the continent.
"And UNILAG as an institution is already taking leadership in that area,'' he said.
The don said the university, aside top-level capacity building, was researching into new softwares, security solutions and others.
"We are happy to announce that currently, we are into a kind of research journey which is still in the pipeline.
"UNILAG research is being woven around solutions in many areas and pulling a lot of forces.
"These are things that can help young people go from research to business and at the same time, make life more meaningful.
"We are working with industries and we are forming the right partnership that will drive all our research goals,'' he said.

TESO Beta Testing!Standard
Got this little surprise in my inbox today, and I am giddy as a little school girl… Now I'm not a huge fan of MMORPGs ever since I realized I was spending more time playing WoW than breathing, but there is always something exciting about beta testing a fresh game on a weekend of zero responsibility, I'm not sure what the terms of agreement I agreed upon, but hopefully I can write a little review after the wonderful weekend.
Goodbye productivity! Hello sweet digital crack.
See you all on Monday!
Oh, and don't worry, I already redeemed the beta key.
Minimalist Hyper Light Drifter WallpapersImage
If you can't tell, I am super amped for this game, so I made some minimalist wallpapers to sate my rabid inner fanboy. Started with pen and paper and than scanned and touched up with Photoshop, definitely not as good as the pros over at Heart Machine, but I like it. If you have any requests for coloring just let me know
Track Review: Polish Girl, Neon IndianVideo
Something that I've always thought was great about Neon Indian is their innocence and vulnerability in their music. There's a certain purity in it that is so often lost in electronic music, a feeling of love that is thrown out in exchange for a sexy attitude or for some harder hitting beats. Neon Indian seems to abhor the idea of making "dance music" and instead writes a love ballad to their synthesizer in Polish Girl.
The track starts with the 6 note arpeggio as the lead and a warped bass line that has become one of Neon Indians signature. The lead feels like eating a piece of candy you used to eat all the time as a kid and have all but forgotten the flavor and memories attached to it, as soon as you pop it in your mouth all of your senses are flooded with summer evenings, green grass and the cool relief of night coming as the energy floods the streets. It flows through the song like an elusive smell and when you catch a sent you take it in greedily for fear it might dissipate like an unexplainable profoundly warming dream.
The lead and bass are soon joined by the sounds of electronic creatures, crickets, frogs, birds, all in a chorus of some scene on a bio-luminescent robotic lake. Seconds after the scene is set, fireworks are set off over the lake as the second lead kicks in like a dozen-dozen pre-historic tropical birds being released all at once. The spectacle continues for a while until the vocals start. The whispery style vocals of Neon Indian is a pervasive theme in a lot of electronic and indie music, often criticized, but it does have its place and serves a purpose to not burden the music with lyrics that might otherwise take away from the experience.
The song continues in a relatively predictable fashion, having set up such a wonderful framework it simply follows a standard route of Intro/ Verse/ Chorus/ Verse/ Chorus/ Bridge/ Chorus with a little synth freak-out after the first chorus being the high point of the song for me and the bridge being the lowest.
While the video for this song has a nice aesthetic, the hyper-future dark sci-fi feel just doesn't seem to fit the song. I find it frustrating that just because something is electronic it seems to automatically mean that it is inorganic (in literal terms I guess that's true). This song is a ride through an enchanted forest at twilight, not a dystopian cyborg future. I would love to see a switch from the standard "sound of the future" view of electronic music to a recognition of the inherent mysticism of (literally) creating sound out of thin air.
All in all, great track.
Excitement Brimming for Hyper Light DrifterStandard
The team behind Hyper Light Drifter is in love with their game. From the beautiful soundtrack by Disasterpeace, to the stunning set pieces, everything is a hyper-imagined, neon colored, nostalgic love letter to the 16-bit era. But it's not just a memory through rose colored glasses, this game seems to have merged the very best of past and present to create (what I hope to be) a beautifully rich and fulfilling experience.
The guys at Heart Machine are a mushy bunch, in the best way possible, lovingly pouring their hearts and souls into a shining tribute to early 90's gaming. With a cinematic style that feels like a mix between Akira and the Dark Crystal, it creates a stunning atmosphere that is so eery and fantastical it makes me giddy to explore everything these guys have created.
The game play harkens to a much darker and more stylized combination of Secret of Mana, Gunstar Superheroes, and top down ARPGs like Diablo ll, but is really something that is wholly itself and not just a knockoff. From the pastel and neon color pallet, to the high fantasy/ dark sci-fi scenery, to the fast paced combat, this game is brimming with individuality and charisma.
The story for Hyper Light Drifter feels similar to Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke. You play as a member of a group of beings known as Drifters, Drifters are dedicated to collecting forgotten knowledge and technologies from a crumbled civilization. Our protagonist is infected with some kind of disease or curse forcing him to travel further into the Lands of Buried Time searching for a cure. It's unclear whether our hero gains their awesome skills from the Drifters or if the disease is giving him the power, but I sure am happy he has them, because I am so excited to cut through hordes of foes in one of the coolest looking neon blood baths I've ever seen.
Heart Machine has already shattered a Kickstarter campaign for Hyper Light Drifter raising a total of $640,000, beating their original funding goal by 2400%. The game is slated for release on PS4, Wii U and of course PC, having recently been "Green Lighted" on Steam, and will be coming out mid 2014.

1. I need to be intentional with my time. This month I had some unrealistic expectations. I found I didn't have the time or energy to do some things I wanted to, like inviting friends who were leaving over for supper. I also seem to have more women knocking on my door wanting to sell me things such as pictured above. How can I minister to them best? Figuring out what I can and can't do in this season is challenging. Even more important, finding out what God wants me to do and not do is something I am still seeking to find out. I found myself going back to a book called Intentional Woman. Now if I can just find a balance to all my roles during this time.
2. I love the promises in Isaiah. Two of my favorites are ...
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. 54:10 NIV
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 49:15 NIVI like the no matter what part. This impossible thing might happen but He will never stop loving me or forget me.
3. I like to dance but I am not very good at it.
This month we had an opportunity to go to a national wedding. It was fun dancing, watching the dancing and festivities, and eating delicious food. Weddings here are a pretty big deal and are very expensive. The bride will usually have two dresses with one of them being green instead of our western,traditional white. It can be a long evening with the food not being served until 10:00. We didn't get home until midnight so I was grateful when the next day ended up being an unexpected holiday so I could sleep in.
4. Giving pop quizzes on my birthday might still be a good idea but not giving my students a bonus question to guess my age. I guess I look 56 years old.
5. Good byes from a distance stink. It didn't work out for a few of my friends who are leaving to come back and say good bye. It is just now hitting me that they aren't coming back which has led to many tears shed this month. I am learning that I need to take time to grieve but also remember that good byes with these friends aren't forever.
6. Flexibility is a must for survival right now. To be truthful, I am tired of being flexible. Due to unscheduled days off at school, I find myself planning and re planning and craving a routine. I am trying to remember that it is all in God's hands and to make the most of each day. On the plus side, things have been more peaceful around here than was predicted for this time.
7. I can't keep up with my husband's reading pace. In our home, I am usually the one that reads the most and finds books for everyone else to read. I can't keep up with finding books for my husband. We are reading more which is good. I have a list of books for me, but most of them are not ones I think he would enjoy. If you have any good suggestions on books for men? Please list them in the comments.
What have you learned this month? A favorite verse, quote or book?

The Russian ruble just sank to the lowest point in its history, above 50 to the US dollar.
It's down 5.27% against the US currency Monday alone. The dollar is about 50% stronger against the ruble than it was at the start of 2014. This follows the crumbling price of oil.
Here's what the US dollar-Russian ruble exchange rate looks like over the past five years:
The fall in oil prices has dramatically weakened the Russian currency, which had been much more stable in the previous three years.
Brent crude is down to just $68, and the other major benchmark of oil prices, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), is down to just $65, a five-and-a-half-year low.

I sincerely appreciate all of the assistance and professionalism shown by Wise Law Office. I would absolutely recommend Wise Law Office to family and friends.
Wonderful friendly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this law firm for all your needs.
Great law firm knowledgeable friendly great to deal with highly recommended.
I need to preface this rating by saying that I was a lawyer until I jumped into business full-time many years ago. Garry was referred to me by another lawyer and mutual friend as I was going through an awful divorce that was exacerbated by some highly contentious and venomous issues. I asked for a referral to someone that was first and foremost practical and would not get dragged into the "destructive circus" that so many family matters become because of the ego and style of much of the Family Law bar. GARRY SHONE! He defended my interests without attacking my ex-spouse; he demonstrated extraordinary judgment and gave me sound, practical advice and best of all - when faced with a fire-breathing opposing counsel who believed that "higher decibels = higher client service", he calmly let her burn through her fuel without joining the chorus of pointless misery and money. His fees are very reasonable and he has a knack for understanding the needs of his clients.
Mr. Wise and his team have provided me with over and above service. They were instrumental in assisting me with my employment needs. Their proactive approach and seamless execution were key in resolving and answering all my concerns. They both handled my situation with the upmost professional courtesy and I am very grateful for this outstanding service. These kinds of things really go along way to ensure customer loyalty. I would highly recommend Wise Law Office for your employment needs.
I've sought Mr. Wise's legal opinion a number of times for will and estate matters over the years, and have found him forthright and realistic. I've recommended him to friends, with success and have found he and his team responsive. I trust him and will continue to hire him when needed, and refer him.
Dedication, professionalism & timeliness are key qualities any time I have sought out Mr. Wise's expertise & assistance. I will always recommend Mr. Garry Wise & his law firm to anyone that may be in need of legal services, as his sound judgments, fairness & professionalism are bar none the best. Thank you for your support, consideration & dedication to making me feel confident I have made the right choice each & every time I have come to you for your services. Highly recommended.
Garry Wise has represented and advised me on numerous occasions. I trust his professional knowledge. I trust his integrity. For me and my family, Mr. Wise has repeatedly demonstrated: extensive legal knowledge; interpersonal professionalism in dealing with me; thoroughness in conducting research / due diligence; creativeness in in anticipating adversarial maneuvers or possible outcomes; and, confidence inspiring competency as my representative in sensitive negotiations. I've recommended him to many friends & family in need of legal representation. Likewise, I would not hesitate in referring Mr. Wise to anyone seeking legal counsel.
Garry Wise and his staff were courteous, prompt and responsive. The efficiency that he demonstrated brought swift resolution to our issue. We found the Wiselaw office personable, honest and upfront.
Garry Wise offered prompt and courteous service and negotiated a quick and fair settlement. Thank you.
Mr Wise and his staff handled my case with great professionalism and genuine care. The integrity with which he conducts his business, exceeded all my expectations. The compassion that he demonstrated put my mind at ease at a very trying time. Garry Wise has earned my trust through and through. I would recommend his service and expertise to anyone seeking a great councillor.
I was very pleased with the service I received from Mr. Wise in regards to employment law. He was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to my file. He did all that I could have expected and more! He was very professional and knew when to sit back and wait and when to act forcefully. He is obviously very experienced. I have referred several people to him and everyone has been extremely happy. The stakes are really high in these matters and it's really important to choose someone who knows what they are doing. He was the best!
I have dealt with Garry wise for various different issues over the years. I find that he has superior legal skills and always approaches an issue with the objective of representing my best interests in the most efficient and effective way. I am tired of lawyers who try to inflate the bill by spending an excessive amount of time arguing with other lawyers while my invoice grows. Mr. Wise deals with any legal issues my family has had in a sensitive way and encourages resolution when it makes sense. I want to thank him and his associates for their sensitivity in dealing with a recent personal injury case for me.
I have worked wit Mr Wise for many years and find him to be professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommended him.
I highly recommend him. His approach is direct and he is not a push over in court. I was happy to have him on my side at mediation and looked forward to emails from his staff to let me know what was going on. Great lawyer, settled my matter, no more stress!
I am very content with my choice in retaining Mr. Wise. He and his staff were excellent and upfront with me throughout. His expertise in employment law has led me to highly recommend him to many friends over the years.
Wise got me an excellent settlement a while back. He and his office kept me very informed by email. I highly recommend him and appreciated his help.
I had an excellent experience with Ms. Bakshi and would recommend that anyone with an employment issue contact her. I had an issue and was set up with a free phone meeting within minutes by her office. She let me know what my rights were and made me feel much better.
Recently, my husband and I had to seek employment law advice, found that Wise Law had the best reviews and sent them an email summarizing the issue. The very next morning Simran got in touch. After not one, but three! separate consults, several email exchanges and her seeking advice from her senior counsel on our behalf; she advised us of what was in OUR best interest at this time, not theirs. She gave us alternate suggestions as well. Simran spent much more than a half hour of her time with us and did not charge us a dime at the end for the advice. We were stunned but grateful. We had expected to pay something having gone way past the free half-hour initial consult. Clearly, she cares about people and about what she does and we would highly recommend her. Should we decide to pursue our case in the future, we will most definitely be contacting her again.
Great Lawyer. Very Knowledgeable and gets results.
I was referred to Garry over 10 years ago to act as my attorney for my divorce. The advice given was professional and very wise (pun intended 🙂 ). Garry is an expert in law, using his wealth of experience and knowledge to approach and settle the divorce. But also, his sense of humour allowed us to work through even the ugly times of divorce so that it was as painless as it could possibly be, considering the circumstances. I was very happy with the outcome of my divorce, as I ended up with everything that I'd asked for. Thank you Garry! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Garry to anyone who is in search of a lawyer that will work tirelessly on their behalf to get the best possible outcome of their divorce. I continue to use Garry for other legal matters such as my will and POA's, and have been very happy with his work in that area as well. More solid wise advice! You rock Garry. I'm very fortunate to have met you when I needed someone in my corner, and as a concerned friend.
Excellent professional, utmost integrity, positive and super smart person. Best bang for your dollar. Have been using his services for 20 years now! Garry has changed my life in the most positive way. The only thing you need to do is trust him!
I highly recommend them! The WiseLaw team has always been courteous and prompt with providing sound legal services. Additional positives: Convenient near-subway central location. Great listeners. Able to see risks and opportunities tied to any of my legal dilemmas. Dedicated staff.
I am forever grateful to Mr. Wise and staff. They were very dedicated to my case and I'm very thankful for the outcome. Their hard work, and devotion, made a wonderful difference in my life. I sincerely appreciate all of the assistance and professionalism shown by Wise Law Office. I would absolutely recommend Wise Law Office to family and friends.

What a challenging question to begin this first full week of October with. Usually my answer is the always vague "follow your gut feeling." Well, if you're gut isn't feeling so good, you probably want to send the dish back.
I've noticed I almost never have to send back food. Cocktails get returned at a far higher rate. Then at a seemingly innocent, low key lunch at the highly respectable Los Angeles restaurant/cafe LAMILL (also a terrific coffee roaster, located in the city's Silver Lake area), I was forced to do something about this joke of a sandwich delivered to me. Something had to happen. Sandwiches don't look like this for $7, let alone double the price from a kitchen owned by one of the city's top toques. Just look at the sandwich "filling" to the left in the picture below. Nothing has been edited. Seriously.

1. Haredim should thank G-d for not having to do the dirty job
of once again throwing Jews out of their homes in the Jewish land for no reason, just because the evil Communist anti-Israel corrupt self-appointed judges in the "High" court and their henchmen, the wicked Destruction Minister Ehud Barak and Bibi Netanyahu, decided so.

2. "extremists" for trying to save your home from destruction?
just because the evil Communist anti-Israel corrupt self-appointed judges in the "High" court and their henchmen, the wicked Destruction Minister Ehud Barak and Bibi Netanyahu, decided so? So you're also one of those "extremists" who doesn't want your house destroyed.

3. Price Tag
I Love Fanatics ,
Ohio, USA
According to the guide, infiltrating Arab villages is meant to "turn the area into one of the most turbulent in the West Bank". Price Tag: The perceived right to initiate an act of violence or vandalism against a person or property that is separate and innocent of any involvement in your bad day.

4. Crimianls and the State
A Jerusalemite ,
Jerusalem, Israel
The criminals are showing their true colours: 1. The army has NO side. The IDF obeys the government and the laws of the country, it does NOT take sides. 2. While demonstrating/protesting peacefully - wherever - is legal and legitimate, 'price tag' acts is both illegal and illegitimate. The people living in the Arab villages are not responsible for the evacuation! 3. Infiltrating IDF bases, attacking soldiers and trying to make more parts of the West Bank 'turbulent' will only make the country more divided than it already is because of these so-called 'settlers'. They WANT to 'destabilize the system', or in other words to destroy the State of Israel!

5. People should not be fooled.
The whole "Ulpana evacuation" has nothing to do with "Palestinian private land". As the "flotilla" and the "social protests", this is another blatant attempt to overthrow the Likud-led government; this time - by attempting to split the coalition.

the Israeli government stood by and failed to offer a defense. Anyone could be convicted of murder if they had a defense attorney like the government provided against the arab liars put up to it by the traitors at "peace now." Didn't the government learn ANYTHING at Amona?

Norman Gellman ,
The "right wing" are not heros but in fact are subersives. Just because they do not like the decisions of the legitimate auhorites they do not have the right to wreak havoc with cival disobediance. Their action are destroying the foundations of a democratic society Law & order. This is the government they elected if they are not happy then they should change the government in the next elections.

citizen of Israel ,
There is a difference between doing things the right('s) way and the EXTREMISTS' way. The extremists' way is anarchist. The extremists' way disallows the rule of law. The extremists' way disrespects The State of Israel, The People of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (The People's Army AND The Right Hand of G-d!)

20. Correction: Thugs who break the law
David G
I generally support the settlement movement, but the one thing them have to get through their thick heads is that ideology cannot trump the law in a democratic society. Israeli law and the Israeli government has ruled against Ulpana, you may not like it, you may fight for compensation, but but to break the law and commit acts of vandalism is unacceptable. Those who do so should be thrown in jail for the maximum possible sentence and banned from ever living in Judea or Samaria.

21. Count Me in !
Marcel ,
The extremist left Court and the government of Israel are destroying Jewish homes because their masters , the Quartet Fourth Reich have ordered Jewish rubble from the menu and the lap dog always delivers. Please count me in with those who seek to save these homes from the evil forces of extremism in Israel who send the IDF out to destroy and harm fellow Jews and their property.

23. This article is clearly BS
adam eliyahu berkowi
I want to remind people that the Shin Bet produced posters at a netanyahu rally that showed Rabin in Nazi uniform, in order to portray the right as extremist. Why would antagonizing the arab neighbors help the settlers achieve their purpose of living there? And don't tell me that is the way settlers think. I am a settler.

24. I Am a Zionist, But Not An Anarchist
Noah Lev ,
Israel gets 3b/yr from US for military hardware. US Jews and Christians donate over 2b more. Some believe we have dual loyalties. I dont. Most US Jews support Obama's pragmatic policy..beefing up Israel's defenses and support at the UN, while reaching out to the Arab world. After all, Israel does NOT wag the US tail. And it should not. Israel allows protests costing millions of shekels and strikes costing 500m shekels week, yet accept aid? Israel is being torn apart..and the Arabs are watching..with glee. It has no respect anywhere..except among the gullibe and naive supporters of its behavior. Bibi should declare marshal law now, certainly in the W. Bk. Put those protestors in with the Africans..or under administrative detention, as with the Arabs. Let them go on hunger strikes. The far right is using this SC decision and govt acquiescence to expand Israel (greater Israel), To wit, Israel has significant problems....and this aint helping, as we say here. If people dont like it, move back to Brooklyn or or Monsey. Its time Israel amend its laws re: automatic citizenship if a Jew. It is commiting national sucide guys...and no one is safe. Get it. Those who published the pamphlet must be found, prosecuted and incarcerated for advocating treason.

tom ,
tel maviv
ral Israeli public for having both government and judges that are openly cowardly & unfair to their own people, no amount of heroic/violent action can change the fact that these homes shall be destructed. Rather go it with dignity, (not that it will do much good), but it may stirr conscience of few important people...

26. There is nothing extremist in defending our land !!
Laurence ,
Again YNET is showing its political agenda. No, it is not extremist to defend our land. Judea Samaria is our homeland and no jews should be removed from their home. It is a shame for the government to allow such thing. A real reform of the judicial system is needed to eradicate the self-appointed supreme court judges that represent only themselves and that are actimg against Israel's interests.
