Vietnamese resorts that made the top 20 list for best resorts in Asia included, Life Heritage Resort-Hoi An, The Nam Hai, and Evason Ana Mandara & Six Senses Spa. The Sofitel Legend Metropole-Hanoi and the Park Hyatt-Saigon, each won top spots in the survey of the 100 top hotels in Asia.
While readers lodged three Vietnam resorts onto the list, they also sung the praises of five resorts from Bali and five resorts from Thailand.
"Both Bali and Thailand have tremendous reputations as resort destinations," said John Blanco, the new general manager at The Nam Hai. "So, for Vietnam to make this kind of impression on readers of such a distinguished travel magazine is indeed remarkable."
The Readers' Choice Awards polled 25,916 responses from readers who rated resorts and hotels across these five categories: food/dining, location, overall design, rooms and service. Resort ratings were also based on activities/facilities.
According to Conde Nast, only candidates that received a required minimum number of responses were deemed eligible for an award.
None of Vietnam's islands made the Readers' Choice Awards. Bali and Phuket were among the top three island destinations in Asia, which makes Vietnam's resort standings all the more impressive.
Similarly, Vietnam's top cities failed to make the top-ten cut. Bangkok and Chiang Mai came in at number 1 and 2, while Bali's Ubud ranked fifth. (Source: VIR)

Justin Ettinger: On the move, post-Fletcher
By Jessica Daniels On January 28, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
I recently heard from Justin, a 2013 grad, who offered to share his reflections on his first months since graduating. I love volunteers! And here is Justin's report.
As I reflect on my experience at Fletcher, I can hardly believe it's been three years since I made the decision to attend graduate school. In early 2011, I was living in New York and working as a manager at a Big 4 consulting firm. Though I was making a good living, I felt that my career had plateaued, and I wanted to burnish my credentials to pursue the international business career I had always dreamed of. Fletcher's MIB program offered exactly what I was looking for — core business training within the context of a school famous for its international affairs curriculum. So I went for it. And three years later, I can happily say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I entered Fletcher with a clear mission: to position myself for a great job when I graduated. While I certainly worked hard in the classroom, I also made networking one of my top priorities from the start. By constantly speaking with alumni and attending events, I developed a clear sense of the path I wanted to take by the end of my first year, and my efforts generated three internship offers, all through alumni connections. I ultimately chose to work in Latin America strategy at Converse Inc. (a Nike subsidiary).
Converse opened many new doors for me. A successful summer led to an offer to continue working part-time during my second year (Converse is based in Boston), and I used that time to develop my capstone — a three-year commercial strategy for the brand in Brazil. Working part-time on top of studying full-time was certainly a major commitment, but it enabled me to apply context to all of the new skills I was learning in the classroom. The Fletcher alumnus I worked for, Dave Calderone (F'87), was an excellent mentor who exposed me to many facets of the global footwear industry. He played an instrumental role in my education. And the day after graduation, I started working full-time for Dave as a Strategic Planning Manager for Latin America at Converse.
After a few months, I made a personal decision to move to San Francisco. I'm now working as a Senior Manager of Business Development for the Old Navy brand at Gap, Inc., where I'm responsible for adding new markets to Old Navy's international franchise portfolio. In the coming year, I'll be traveling extensively around the world to visit retail markets and meet with potential new franchise partners. I'll be negotiating contracts, examining import/trade implications, constructing financial models, and truly building a global business. It's a job I could only have dreamed of before Fletcher.
My life has changed significantly over the last three years. I now have lifelong friends all over the world. I've been to 10 new countries on three continents. I think about global business issues in an entirely new way. And I got the international career I had hoped for. Deciding on graduate school is a major life decision indeed, but it works if you work it. So be deliberate, be decisive, have an open mind, and go for it.
Oh, and one last thing. Support Los Fletcheros!

Margot's first year after Fletcher
By Jessica Daniels On December 26, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
More and more Class of 2013 alumni are feeling settled in their new lives, opening (I hope) the door for me to feature more of their stories. For now, I'm happy to introduce Margot Shorey. Margot, a two-year veteran of the Admissions Committee, visited the office a month ago, and I asked if I could persuade her to write for the blog. Happily, I could. So here's her story.
Before Fletcher, I was living and working in Washington, DC — a city I have always been drawn to — with some medium-term stints in Africa. While at Fletcher, I struggled to figure out if I wanted to take a position in the field, finding a way to implement projects related to my interest in African security, or to return to DC to focus on U.S. policy in Africa. This decision was not easy for me, as some of the best experiences in my short pre-Fletcher career occurred while working with project teams in Chad and Senegal. On the other hand, I was sometimes very lonely abroad, missing my friends and community back in DC. I had learned a lot about the challenges of implementing USAID projects, but wanted a broader perspective to ask why the U.S. was even running such programs in Africa. Particularly with everything I learned at Fletcher, I sought an active role in shaping U.S. policy in such a critical region. I really wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go in.
Whew! These were hard questions that stressed me out even more than a three-hour, all-you-can-write, grade-determining Role of Force exam. (In December 2011 I didn't think anything could stress me out more than that.) Luckily, all my classmates and friends were struggling with the same decisions and were there to talk them out with me. From conversations in the Hall of Flags, to advice from our senior military fellows, to Togo-New York-Cambodia gchats during summer internships, I aired my anxieties and listened to how my friends were thinking about their post-Fletcher lives.
For now, I've decided to return to DC, where I'm working for the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS), one of five regional centers of the Department of Defense. I support academic outreach programs with members of the African security sector on civil-military relations, respect of democratic values, and other U.S. security priorities on the continent. Recently, for example, we held a three-week program in DC for 60 rising African security sector leaders. I conducted research and prepared background materials for the participants on ethical leadership, served as the point of contact for over 30 guest speakers, and got to interact with some amazing participants. Recently, while discussing guest speakers with colleagues for an upcoming program, I kept saying, "Oh, I know her, she went to Fletcher and is awesome," or "She went to Fletcher. I don't know her personally, but I've heard Professor Shultz rave endlessly about her, so she must be great." After hearing quite a bit of this, my coworker turned to me and asked if we could populate the guest speaker list exclusively with the Fletcher network. Yep — I'm pretty sure we could.
Through my job, I've been able to gain a deeper understanding of the security challenges in Africa, as well as the U.S. policy structure, and I've started to build a network within the Africa security community here in DC. But I've also learned a lot about what it means to work for the U.S. government, which has been at times a bit frustrating. Although I certainly enjoyed my time with Netflix during my brief paid vacation in early October, the government shutdown presented a serious planning challenge and threatened to cancel our program altogether.
Living in DC is not all about work, of course. Fortunately, many of my friends from before Fletcher are still here, but there is also a large Fletcher crowd from my class, who I see often. The best part is that everyone is always up for a new adventure, even if it doesn't involve leaving DC. We've splurged on an après-ski event at a fancy hotel bar, just because it seemed fun, tried some of the hundreds of new restaurants in the city, hosted birthday/holiday/just-because parties, and will be delivering holiday meals to seniors together. I run into Fletcher people on the Metro, at work programs, at networking events, and at social gatherings where I didn't know anyone from Fletcher would be. It's true — Fletcher is everywhere in DC.
So, I know I made the right post-Fletcher decision for me. But do I get a tinge of envy when I hear about my friends who are currently traveling the world? Of course I do — I wouldn't be a Fletcher grad if I didn't.

Ana's first months after Fletcher
By Jessica Daniels On September 18, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Our Alumni
Last month I needed to contact our volunteer interviewers and I used an email list that included recent grads. Though I apologized for including them in the email, I also invited them to write about their post-Fletcher lives for the blog. Instant success! In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing reports from several of our newest alumni. The first report comes from Ana Garcia, who reflects on her current work and provides some thoughts for our new students or applicants.
My first memory of Fletcher goes back to the day I entered the Hall of Flags. I walked in, looked up, and there it was, the Fletcher flag! I had finally made it: after all the effort, the paper work, and…a "suggestion" to take an English language course during the summer. Two years and two months later, I find myself here, writing about my activities, now as a Fletcher graduate.
I belong to the amazing Class of 2013 MALD group, which included many like me who wondered how we were going to make it all the way to graduation day. And like many of my classmates, I thought that I would fly out into the world right after getting my diploma. Instead, Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston are still my home. I currently work at Conflict Dynamics International, a not-for-profit organization that focuses on preventing and resolving violent conflicts. My work here is linked to two extremely interesting projects: one that aims to identify the main constraints for humanitarian access in countries in conflict; the other one focused on violations of children's rights in conflict and post-conflict settings. It sounds like a Fletcher type of job and it is! (Given, also, that most of my coworkers are former classmates. Yep, the Fletcher alumni community starts close to campus.)
Staying in Boston, while many of my friends have left the city for Washington, DC, New York, or their home countries, was the first surprise of my life as a Fletcher grad. The second surprise of my postgraduate life was realizing how intense being a Fletcher student was. Suddenly, I have found myself with TIME: time to be by myself or with my friends, to walk, to watch endless t.v. shows. Despite those feelings, I would never have missed all the all-nighters with my study groups (yes, you will have those), all those coffee refills, cultural nights, and house parties. Fletcher is a place to learn, but also to live, to fail, and to challenge yourself.
Fletcher gave me the chance to do things and meet some of the most important people in my life, often not in class. Organizing cultural nights, dancing the waltz, participating in debates about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or painting the cannon in pj's are all things I encourage current students to do. You may not know it yet, but you gain skills from those experiences that are as valuable in a work environment as any class you can take.
My summer has been extraordinarily fun, but also professionally rewarding. I had the opportunity to collaborate in different interesting projects on negotiations and humanitarian aid while I also brushed up on my Arabic skills. Boston has been, and currently is, the place where I will continue the transition toward that job for which I came to Fletcher, and this will happen during this Fall. In the meantime, I have learned the most important lesson of all: Don't rush, take your time, don't be hard on yourself. At Fletcher, we are all overachievers, smart and creative people. We will do great things. For now, I'll be ready and open to the uncertainty, the world of opportunities and options that is out there.

November 26, 2014
LONDON (AP) -- A French magistrate says she didn't authorize the embalming of Princess Diana's body, and says that no one from the British Embassy in Paris had discussed embalming with her.
Mohamed Al Fayed, whose son Dodi died with Diana in a car crash in Paris, has claimed that the British ambassador ordered the embalming to cover up a pregnancy.
The magistrate told a British inquest into Diana's death that she had not been informed of the decision to embalm the body and said she had had no contact with the British Embassy.
She did, however, confirm that she authorized the release of the bodies of Diana and Fayed after they had been examined. She says authorization was a legal necessity before any embalming could take place.

November 28, 2014
SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard is beginning to break the ice on Lake Superior and officials say the process will be difficult this year.
The director of the Coast Guard's Vessel Traffic Services, Mark Gill, says it's the most ice he's seen on the lake in 25 years. Gill says the record-setting cold winter has ice exceeding 42 inches on the Superior side of the harbor and up to 36 inches of plate ice on the Duluth, Minnesota side.
Gills says they'll use commercial tugs to help get boats moving by March 17th.
He says the "lakers" are already asking for help to leave the harbor later this month. The Soo Locks are set to open March 25th.

Are you adequately prepared to rock? Have you removed your reading glasses, marked your place in your Annotated Shakespeare, and are now ready to begin to rawk? Joseph Scrimshaw and the folks at Joking Envelope will attempt to merge oil and water when they bring the rock musical to the library for this twist on the Jekyll and Hyde story, only with a librarian who isn't saying "shhhh" anymore. Scrimshaw provides the book and lyrics, while Mike Hallenbeck rocks out as the composer and musical director. The cast features a number of area comic actors, from Anna Sundberg to Mike Rylander to Phillip Andrew Bennett Low. A live trio—anchored by Scrimshaw on drums along with Adam Whisner and John Riedlinger—will drown out any Uptown traffic noises and let the Theater Garage walls shake.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Mon., May 9, 7:30 p.m.; Sun., May 15, 2:30 p.m. Starts: April 30. Continues through May 21, 2011

Freelance Writer Michael Ybarra Killed Near Yosemite
Freelance writer and Wall Street Journal contributor Michael Ybarra was tragically killed last Saturday during a climbing trip near Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada:
Mr. Ybarra set out by himself early Saturday morning to traverse the Sawtooth Ridge, a rugged area near Yosemite National Park, his sister and Alex Few, a friend and fellow mountain climber, had said earlier Wednesday.
Mr. Ybarra, 45 years old, was scheduled to return from his climb by Sunday evening at the latest. After he didn't contact Ms. Few, as planned, nor respond to her efforts to call, email and text him, she said she contacted local search-and-rescue personnel on Monday.

Stop pork spending on 'roads' projects
The Highway Trust Fund is going broke, and members of Congress (including Sen. Corker) are scurrying to find new revenue (tax increases) to address the shortfall.
Originally created to support interstate highway system construction, the trust fund has since been used as a pork barrel. Instead of being used for roads and bridges, funds have been diverted to such things as walking trails, landscaping and ferry boats.
A prudent Congress would restore the viability of the fund by discontinuing this unintended spending. Tax increases, which threaten our fragile economy and add to the inflation potential, should be the last resort.
Another solution is to discontinue the trust fund and transfer responsibility back to the states. The Transportation Empowerment Act proposes to do exactly that.
The act would eliminate the federal government as the middle-man who redistributes (often unfairly and punitively) the taxes collected by the states for projects chosen by Congress and not the states. The act would reduce the bureaucratic burden, retain the tax monies within the state that collected them and provide for a more effective and efficient use of funds targeted at specific state infrastructure needs.
Please urge your congressmen and senators to co-sponsor the act.
MIKE BUDNICK, Winchester, Tenn.
Sen. Alexander needs to go
It is time to replace Sen. Lamar Alexander with a true conservative who will take a firm stance against the Obama administration and work to develop and pass common-sense legislation.
Alexander has been weak on most of the major conservative issues and does not have any intention whatsoever of fighting Obama on immigration, the fiscal deficit, foreign policy, gay rights or the overreaching government bureaucracy.
He is an entrenched member of the traditional RINO Republican Party, and it is time for him to go. His recent refusal to debate the other Senate candidates shows that he is afraid to face his public on the major issues.
Either Joe Carr or George Flinn would be a much better choice.

America spurning Mideast Christians
Former presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan, an oft-published commentator, noted that Vladimir Putin has "planted his flag with the Christians of Iraq." Russia sent fighter jets to Iraq recently.
We also know that Putin stood with Assad of Syria and the Christians of Syria. Soon the entire Middle East will look like Saudi Arabia; that is, without any Christians.
Where is America while the blood of Christians flows?
It appears we continue to side with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and the rest of the Hagarenes. This foreign policy is not new for Washington. Don't forget we chose Mohammedans in Kosovo and Serbia over the Christians there.
The leader of the Chaldean church in Iraq recently agreed with Mr. Buchanan. "The West (USA) is not Christian," he said. He went further and noted that President Putin has done more and that they would look to Russia for help.
Apparently, the Middle East Christians see where our flag is planted -- next to the black flag of the caliphate of ISIS and other "moderate" vetted terrorists.
Fleischmann the ethical choice
I voted for Weston Wamp the first time he ran. I will not make that mistake again.
Wamp and The Times editorial page editor (July 3) agree that Democrats should "crossover" vote in the Republican primary, which is legal in an open primary state like Tennessee; however, is it ethical?
Wamp naively proposes to "negotiate" with Democrats in Congress to help them pass their socialist agenda. They passed Obamacare without even consulting with Republicans.
Obama issues executive orders and federal regulations without negotiating with Republicans. With whom will Wamp negotiate?
Name one Democrat who wants to negotiate; possibly Nancy Pelosi? Sens. McCain, Graham, and Alexander want to negotiate. Maybe Wamp can negotiate with them.
Do you want the Democrats to select the Republican nominee for the 3rd District?
Fleischmann correctly stated in the televised debate that Wamp probably should have run in the Democratic primary. Fleischmann may not be the most charismatic congressman; however, he does vote the way I want him to vote at least 90 percent of the time. Isn't that what you want your congressman to do?
We have enough unethical congressmen already. Why would we send another one to Congress?
Vote Hazlewood for state House 27
The residents of Tennessee's District 27 are very fortunate that someone of Patsy Hazlewood's integrity, qualifications and expertise decided to become a candidate from that district for Tennessee's House of Representatives.
I met Patsy a number of years ago when I was a banker and she was an executive at BellSouth. Even then, she exhibited the attributes of a successful leader. I found her to be someone who set high goals and successfully followed through on those goals, all the while gaining the respect of her peers.
When I became CEO of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, Patsy served as my first chairperson. During that time, the Chamber was in need of a radical reconstruction of its mission and direction. Patsy's vision was instrumental in transforming the Chamber into the company it is today.
She always faced challenges head-on and worked toward collaborative solutions through dedication and hard work. In short, Patsy is the clear choice. She is a true leader who has distinguished herself through her professional career; her personal, church and family commitments and her volunteer community service.
I encourage you to vote for Patsy Hazlewood on Aug. 7.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth said, {Mark 16:15-16}
"Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
I agree with the Apostles St. John and Simon Peter; Acts 4:19 (AKJV)
"But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye."
Jesus Christ of Nazareth said, {Mark 16:15-16}
"Go ye into all the world,..."
'All' the world.
Malleus Deum
'Remember Cape Henry'
Malleus Deum Verum
Not evidence, Ken. We are not nor ever have been a theocracy. It is not in the country's interest to spread Christianity using the government. Especially where it is unwelcome. I know you cannot comprehend this, but Christianity is no better or worse than any other religion, and there is no more or less evidence to support it as opposed to other religions.
People like Ken Orr and con-man and other fundamentalists who think that Christianity is the ONLY true religion are precisely what's wrong with Christianity. If more Christians would simply adhere to those aspects of Christianity that are inspirational, uplifting, and love-centered, without their repugnant self-righteousness that compels them to try to force their beliefs on everyone else, then it might be a real force for good. But Christianity, with its overemphasis on its being the ONLY way to believe, is not only NOT the only way, it is the WRONG way, and it does more harm than good.
If someone could help me with some facts, I will appreciate it. I read that the most prophecies claimed by any religion besides Christianity is less than 15; and these at a huge stretch; Not even statistically significant. [other than Christianity which claims around 2,000>>>with extreme statistical significance]. I wonder if this is...in fact...a fact +(:>
Malleus Deum Verum
And, by-the-way, while we are discussing the 'great' religions of the world, here is something to think about:
'The modern day custom of celebrating Ramadan in the White House was started in 1996 by Hillary Rodham Clinton during the three-day celebration Eid-al-Fitr.'
What happens when a liberal Democrat who supports homosexual sex is told they must embrace Islam?
Muhammad Aashiq Illahi Muhajir Madani, a modern-day Mufti (jurist), wrote Illuminating Discourses on the Noble Quran, 2nd ed. trans. and ed. Mufti A. H. Elias, (Karachi: Pakistan, Zam Zam, 2003). In his commentary on Sura 4:15-16, he is open to the interpretation that the two verses speak of homosexuality, so he provides two hadith that he considers reliable, which deal with punishing homosexuals (vol. 2, pp. 365-69).
This early ruling repeats the one that homosexuals must be burned:
With regard to the method in which these people [homosexuals] are to executed, Abu Bakr after consulting with Ali and other Sahaaba [companions of Muhammad], ruled that they be burnt.
Mufti Madani's next citation says that convicted homosexuals should undergo this terrible punishment (cf. Maududi vol. 2, p. 52, note 68):. . . Ibn Abbas ruled that they be thrown headlong from the highest summit.
Malleus Deum Verum
What happens when you base your perception of reality on isolated anecdotes?
Fact is, you have no evidence to support your religious beliefs. Neither do they. Therefore they are of equal value. Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Shinto, Pagan. It is arrogance to an extreme to impose one's religion on anyone else. Respect for the world's religious diversity, mixed with a bit of humility, is needed here.
Ken Orr, show me a Biblical "prophecy" that has come to pass outside the realm of metaphor or symbolism or numerology and I might begin to take those 2000 "prophecies" seriously. The vast majority of those so-called prophecies are suspiciously highlighted with the oft-used phrase "so that prophecy might be fulfilled." The many forgers, interpolators, and admitted holy liars (such as Eusebius) had all the time in the world during the Dark Ages to rewrite the Bible to make the New Testament conform to the "prophecies" of the Old Testament. All other prophecies that Christians like to think have come to pass today or are about to come to pass are only wild imaginings of those Christians who want to THINK that prophecy is being fulfilled.
Jesus is a fairy tale figure. The entire Bible is a compilation of ancient myths. Take your blinders off, sir. The truth is there if only you dare to look and think for yourself.
All I am saying is that 'I Love You' in truth. I do not want to ever know that even one ounce of harm comes into your life. I genuinely want you to go to a better place than this world in the hereafter. Is there anything wrong with that? I believe Jesus when He says; John 14:6 (KJV)
6 "...I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, but by Me."
Where is that place of dreams? Where are you when dreaming? Your body is indeed in one place, yet, you (in that particular state of dream consciousness)are in an entirely different place. If one died during a dream, would they continue to dream?
What about astral projection? When you think of, and imagine, or, visualize a place other than where you are...where is that place in your thoughts...where does it exist?
No one has seen dark matter/dark energy, yet, a few scientists say it is there, and many other scientists believe it is there. Many people testify they have come back from the dead, like the many scientists who say they know dark energy is there. Neither can prove it by the scientific method.
You believe in many things you have not seen nor can prove. You choose to believe in other's testimonies for some of these things, and, choose to not believe in others. Why? Some of these things will affect your moral lifestyle, some will not. Some will affect your eternal life, some will not.
Malleus Deum Verum
Dreams are a function of a living brain, Ken, not evidence of an afterlife.
Astral projection is woo, not evidence.
Dark matter is not evidence of an afterlife.
Strike three, you're out. Scientists have been trying for decades to find evidence of anything supernatural. They haven't yet.
The problem I see with MIKE BUDNICK's suggestion - requiring states to pay for all road maintenance and construction is that several western states that have sparse populations but large land masses would bare a disproportionate charge per capita to maintain what are now federal highways while smaller more densely populated states like in the northeast would have a disproportionally low tax burden.
I think we should keep federal highways under the auspice of the federal government, but we do need to belly up to the bar and pay for them.
Count me in as one of those "unethical" Democrats who will vote for Wamp in the Republican Primary. Fleischmann is nothing more than an obstructionist who makes little if any effort to actually legislate (do his job). At least Wamp apparently understands what it means to legislate and is not so obstinate to think "its my way or the highway".
This country is made up of many people with many differing views. Fair legislation is an effort to reasonably represent as many of those views as possible while still focusing and addressing the issue at hand in an effective manner. Those in office who think otherwise are narrow minded, selfish, and self-serving - a perfect and fitting description of Congressman Fleischmann
That's the totality of the point of the matter: We pick and choose what/whom we will believe. No One has ever proven to me that a dream stops if the brain dies during a dream. No one has ever proven that dark matter/energy exists.
I know that I have far more evidence of the Truths of the Holy Scriptures (Bible) than I do proofs of x number of other things (dark matter) which other people choose to believe in. I have taken an extremely safe route based upon irrefutable factors. Others choose 'Russian Roulette'. If Jesus doesn't exist (ludicrous), when i die...I win! If Jesus does exist (Yes He does), when i die...I win!
Malleus Deum Verum
You don't have "evidence" of any truths whatsoever of the Bible. It is an entirely fictional work, with NO scientific or historical evidence to give it validity.
The fact that you say that you "have taken an extremely safe route" indicates that you entertain some degree of doubt. To use your faith, even in the smallest way, as an insurance policy to guarantee eternal life for yourself in heaven is not righteousness, wisdom, or morality, and to think that your God is one who would allow such a "pass" for mere blind obedience is reprehensible.
You don't realize it, but you are not gaining anything by "taking the safe route" and in fact you have sold your very soul in doing so. You will have lived your entire life never knowing how liberating it is not to be tied to your childish concept of a two-dimensional caricature of a God, not having the freedom to think for yourself, free of a deity who would claim to punish you for daring to do so. Sir, you have sold your soul to silly, nonsensical, primitive beliefs, and you will have never seen how awesome and wondrous life is outside the confines of those narrow, limiting beliefs.
Let me describe it for 'whosoever will'...
I believe Jesus when He says; John 14:6 (KJV):
"...I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, but by Me."
"...I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
2 Timothy 1:12 (AKJV)

Malleus Deum Verum
Sometimes the word of God saves the sinner, often the word of God will smoke out and reveal those who hate Him.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please , and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
Jesus is the most loved person in the world and Jesus is the most hated person in the world.
Those who hate Him the most can't control it nor hide it.
The word of God smokes them out.
Rickaroo said: "Jesus is a fairy tale figure." While I agree that many of the prophesies seen in the Old and New Testaments have failed of fulfillment, the one fact is that almost every peer reviewed scholar today that studies religion, religious literature, and history agrees that historically there is more than enough evidence to prove that Jesus of Nazereth existed. Whether you agree with His teachings notwithstanding, He did indeed exist.
conservative-Holy Warrior-this, I believe is the smoke that smokes them out: "Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because He was wroth. 9 There went up a smoke out of His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it."
"Through the brightness before Him were coals of fire kindled. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and The Most High uttered His voice. 15 And Ge sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them."
II Samuel 22

"This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep...for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
Thank You ***RShultz210...Matthew 25:23
Ken ORR
..."the one fact is that almost every peer reviewed scholar today that studies religion, religious literature, and history agrees that historically there is more than enough evidence to prove that Jesus of Nazereth existed." - RShultz
Wrong. The only thing that many of them agree on is that someone named Jesus most likely existed, as a mortal teacher/preacher, but was not necessarily of divine origin. But Jesus was a very common name then, and itinerant preachers/philosophers were a dime a dozen. Nothing that Jesus supposedly said was particularly unique. His every utterance had already been spoken or written before by the pagan religions that preceded Christianity. To accept his divinity is purely a leap of blind faith. There is NOTHING scientifically or historically that validates his miracles or his resurrection. No scientific or historical evidence (other than a few relics that have all been proven to be fake, or specious at best) exists to validate that JC ever lived.
There is a fast growing, well researched movement afoot that makes an excellent and credible case for the mythicism of Christ, showing that he was never real but rather he evolved into a literal figure, out of an amalgam of the many mythical Sun gods that existed before he supposedly did. Jesus is nothing but an allegory for the sun (as God) as it makes its way through the sky, with the 12 disciples symbolizing the 12 signs of the Zodiac, culminating in the Winter Solstice, where the sun seemed to "die" for three days and then be reborn again. The sun was worshiped as God by the pagans and JC is just a natural outgrowth of the expanding of the sun-god motif.
Once you see that Christ is mythical, then the nonsense of the entire Bible actually begins to unveil itself, and you can see it for what it is. The story of Christ is just as ridiculous and far-fetched as the story or Noah and the ark or Moses and the parting of the Red Sea or Jonah living 3 days in the belly of a whale.
RShultz, to further elucidate how history and the Bible are incongruous with each other:
The town of Nazareth did not even exist at the time when JC was supposed to have been born.
The Romans did not have a census at the time of Jesus's supposed nativity whereby the citizens were expected to travel to their place of birth. A census was later established but it did not involve anyone having to uproot themselves for it.
There was no such custom of Pilate or any Roman ruler allowing the people to decide who would go free and who would die (as in the story of Barabbas, Jesus, and the mob of Jews).
According to Roman custom and law, burial was strictly forbidden for those who were crucified. Their bodies were left to hang on the cross as a deterrent to crime and insurrection. The story of Jesus being allowed to be taken from the cross and be buried is as much a tall tale as every other aspect of JC's supposed life.
The only thing that the Bible got right about King Herod is that he did indeed exist. But there is no record - NONE - of his having slaughtered thousands of innocent infants, as he supposedly did in his quest to keep Christ from being born.
The only thing that makes sense, if you are a rational, truth-seeking person, is to acknowledge that the Bible is nothing but a collection of one primitive supernatural tale after another, with no basis in fact or reason. It is one thing to draw upon its few verses of wisdom for inspiration, but to claim that is the inerrant word of God is pure folly and the epitome of an immature mind.

MIAMI (AP) - A federal judge expressed support Friday for a new $1.5 billion Environmental Protection Agency plan to reduce pollution-laden farm runoff that is choking the fragile Everglades. He urged state officials to cooperate rather than mount unnecessary delays.
U.S. District Judge Alan Gold, who in April threatened the EPA with contempt of court over the chronic water problems, told agency officials he will use his authority to help implement the new plan quickly. The proposal includes construction of thousands of acres of water treatment areas and new, tougher permits for huge sugar farms and others that discharge water into the Everglades.
"We have to do everything we can to save what's left of the Everglades," Gold said during a three-hour hearing. "It is time now to key up all of these issues and address them." Coinciding with the hearing, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced a proposal to raise another 5.5 miles of the cross-Everglades Tamiami Trail highway to improve water flows into Everglades National Park. Work is currently ongoing on a 1-mile bridge span. The EPA wants to build 42,000 additional acres of treatment marshes to filter pollutants. That could include some of the land being purchased from U.S. Sugar Corp. under a plan pushed by outgoing Gov. Charlie Crist. The EPA plan was developed in response to Gold's ruling earlier this year that the agency had turned a blind eye to years of water quality violations in the vast South Florida wetlands, which mainly involve phosphorous used in farm fertilizers. Gold questioned EPA's lawyers closely Friday on whether those days were over. "Someone is driving the bus. The question is, how committed is the driver to reaching the ultimate destination?" Gold asked. Ethan Schankman, a top Justice Department environmental attorney representing EPA, assured Gold the agency would press forward with its plan without delay. "We are committed, your honor, to doing everything that is within our authority," Schankman said. In the April ruling, Gold also criticized the state's Everglades effort. The judge said Friday that he was "not all that pleased" with Florida's lukewarm response to the EPA proposal. Parker Thomson, attorney for the state Department of Environmental Regulation, said the state mainly wants control over issuing the stricter discharge permits, which EPA could take over if they don't meet certain standards. Thomson said Florida could do a better job regulating the farm discharges, but nothing happens immediately. "We can do it, and we will do it," Thomson said. "You can argue about the amount of time, but you can't argue reality - it will take time." The hearing was the latest of many over the past two decades on how to save the Everglades from phosphorous, which harms native plants and can promote growth of unwanted species such as cattails. The original lawsuit before Gold was filed in 2004 by the Miccosukee Indian tribe, which has a reservation in the Everglades, and the Friends of the Everglades environmental group. Miccosukee attorney Sonia Escobio O'Donnell expressed doubt that the state and federal agencies would keep their promises about improving the water quality. She noted that only the courts have been able to force action. "They need to do more than just say it's going to take a long, long time," she said. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.

Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap – Season 2, Episode 5
The same creepy fella from last time is in the hospital watching Lexy.
Tess is back at the Tron having her costume fitted. She tells Hipflask that she hopes Lexy will see her perform and that she hopes too that she has not judged her on the lesbi-friend debacle, as she wouldn't want Lexy to think that is her type of girl. Nora bounds in dropping off lunch for Tess insisting it is a free offering, much to Tess's surprised delight.
Hipflask is staring across the room at the costume designer's rather large pair of Bert and Ernies as she bends down to sew some buttons or something of the like. Tess is pleased as punch that Hipflask is venturing into forests new and is delighted also that Hipflask is sure that Sharon, the costume designer liketh him too due to the number of fittings she has requested from him.
Lee: I could be wrong because I was drunk when I met her, but I think that is one of the actual Lip Service costume designers. It might not be though.
Sarah: Well thanks for sharing that really brilliant story.
The creepy fella lurches with intent towards Lexy as she walks the hospital corridor. She senses all is not well and tries to back track but he speeds up with menace by his side and grabs her wrist. The pieces begin to fall and Lexy realizes this is her stalker. He actually looks exactly like to you might imagine a stalker to look. If you've ever imagined such a thing.
Creepy Stranger: Stay away from my wife.
Lexy: I don't know what you're talking about?
Creepy Stranger: This jog your memory? [handing her a T-shirt]
Lexy: What? This is mine. Where did you get this?
Creepy Stranger: You gave it to her.
Lexy: Bea?
And thus the stalker conundrum is solved.
Creepy Stranger continues mouthing off and is more emphatic in his instructions for her to keep her distance from his wife, when the situation becomes double the trouble and Bea Junior comes running up the corridor to join this not so great party.
Lee: Great casting of that small child, she looks exactly like Bea.
So Lexy has it laid bare. Bea is not only with husband but also with small child and Lexy can only be stunned into silence. Husband of Bea takes his daughter's hand and leaves Lexy to get her head around the fact that Bea's wife Suzy is actually a tall ginger bloke with a beard.
Sarah: It definitely seems sensible that he is dealing with the fact that his wife is a lesbian by stalking Lexy.
Lee: Who knows what you'd do in that situation? If I discovered you had a tall bearded husband on the fly I've no idea what I'd do.
Sarah: I don't.
Lee: But you would say that, wouldn't you?
Lexy finds Bea, who is looking after an old woman, and lays into her about her marital status and conniving ways. Lexy's whole person is a fist of rage.
Lee: Wow, everyone is very angry in this episode. And attractive.
Bea is flabbergasted by the truth being unraveled like this, but tells Lexy she was in a no-win situation as she couldn't leave Bea Junior and the bearded husband. This riles Lexy more and she races off with no sympathy, just feeling betrayed and used. As you would.

DEFINITION of 'Filter Rule'
A trading strategy where technical analysts set rules for when to buy and sell investments, based on percentage changes in price from previous lows and highs. The filter rule is based on a certainty in price momentum, or the belief that rising prices tend to continue to rise and falling prices tend to continue to fall. It is often considered a subjective screener, due to it being set by an analyst's own interpretation of a stock's historical price history.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Filter Rule'
For example, under a 1% filter rule, an investor would buy a stock when its price rose to 1% above a previous low and sell it when its price fell to 1% below a previous high. Two research studies of filter rules from 0.5 to 20% found that only the 0.5% filter rule could generate above-average returns, but because of the high transactions costs associated with the frequent trading necessitated by the rule, the investor would not actually come out ahead.

Good job, Chris Hayes.
John Boehner's Lobbyists Plan A Massive Hit Job On Occupy Wall Street
John Boehner's lobbyist pals are so afraid of Occupy Wall Street that they are pitching a million dollar hit job to bring OWS down.
Here is the video from MSNBC:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The memo admits both that Occupy Wall Street is political force, and Democrats are tougher on Wall Street than Republicans:
Here is how Boehner's buddies plan on bringing down Occupy Wall Street:
In short, they are going to run a smear campaign that would use the same Fox News talking points that haven't worked so far. They are going to claim that George Soros is funding Occupy Wall Street, and that the movement is being run by the Democratic Party. Most troubling is their plan to carry surveillance on social media. They are going to monitor the social media used by OWS and what they intend to do that the memo didn't directly state was spam social media with anti-Occupy Wall Street propaganda.
They won't only use social media to monitor the message and tactics of Occupy Wall Street. They will try to infiltrate these social networks to disrupt the movement and plant smears against OWS. This is a favorite GOP tactic that goes right in line with their use of paid commenters to spam websites with pro-GOP messages.
By obtaining this memo and reporting on it, Chris Hayes and MSNBC made it likely that this campaign will never see the light of day. The memo does expose a very troubling development. The one percent is so worried about Occupy Wall Street that they are preparing to merge their financial, political and media resources into a giant propaganda campaign in order to halt this movement.
This memo is the most concrete evidence yet that Occupy Wall Street is winning and the one percent is terrified that the movement's message is powerfully resonating with the American people. The greatest irony of all is that the OWS message would have never been this effective if the Republican Party wouldn't have spent the last three years trying to sabotage the American economy.
The economic despair that they worked so hard to maintain may be the very thing that defeats them in 2012. Occupy Wall Street is their way to changing America, and there seems to be little that the one percent and their paid political puppets can do about it.

Good job, Chris Hayes.
Like Bugs Bunny says, If you can't beat'em, Join'em.
Get 'git' by Hayes…
They can't win playing by the rules….so they must play dirty. However, the game is up, and these men and Boehner should be tried for treason….they are actually planning to destroy 99% of America and what the majority of Americans want and need! These are our ENEMIES within, and we are financing these tools.
I whole heartedly agreed. Why support people who have little interest in helping the majority below them?
There is a Romanian proverb: God defend me from the chickens; I know how to defend myself from the dogs. Chickens, of course, are the ones that sneak up and peck you from behind instead of threatening you openly to your face.
This blog has had, from time to time, its hailstorms of trolls. We can assume that we, among others, will be a focus of attention.
The open trolls are not to be feared. Watch out for the chickens- the ones that advocate radical, violent solutions, supposedly on our behalf. And for those who go out to demonstrations, watch out for agents provocateurs. They may be acting against us in such a way as to make us lose our tempers, which at least is recognizable; they may be planted among us, and inciting either dysfunctionality or overreaction; or they may mingle among us and then perform violent acts against authorities and third parties. In all cases, I believe their function is not only to cast us into disrepute. It is ultimately to justify both summary process and deadly force.
I remember both the moratoria and Kent State. I look at the idealistic faces of young people and see the shadow of the past. God defend us all from the chickens.
You also get what I call freelance crazies in demonstrations — treat anyone who advocates violence or tries to start violence or destruction of property as the enemy.
Yes and Yes! The Key being Peaceful Protest. It is the way to win.
i turned on the tv @ 5am my time, and fell asleep before seeing this.. thanks for your posting..
like was stated that's one memo..i knew it was just a matter of time, while the right wing noise machine is well financed, and willing to lie, in the end i really believe justice will prevail..
the media assault, as well as this weeks brutal repression, in the end will fail.. as i'm sure there are more documents out there.. i'm betting as time goes forward, we will have more "Daniel Elsbergs" out there..
likewise the emporers cloths will disappear stich by stich, as people on the inside turn.. many of the 99% (Cops, political staff) will come forward.. remember watergate, while the saturday night massacre marked a sea change, in the end it Rosemary Woods, who sealed Nixons fate..

just so you know..i had tears of joy last tuesday because of you folks in Ohio (seems im a blubbering idiot lately).. just so you know.. the whole world is indeed watching!!

any chance you can knock off the tan man? i guess he's pretty safe in his district..
you call that color, "tan"??
Well, the heraldic color, "tenné", is, at least in English heraldry, orange.
Imagine how bewildered they are going to be to find that OWS is not backed by big donors, and has no leadership! They were able to take over the tea party in order to discredit it, how are they going to take over OWS? I am amazed at how blind they are. Don't they see that if they leave the American 99% with no alternatives, eventually they will take the only alternative left: armed revolution? (I am not advocating this, but it seems to be where we are headed).
This they want, for the reasons I have stated. Ninety- nine to one is not a ratio in their favor, no matter what, and an excuse to cut down enough to imrove their odds and intimidate the remainder doubtless occupies their plans. So thought the Russian reactionaries in 1905, with considerable success, but they could not stop time or keep 1917 from arriving.
They have lost. The gig is up and they are playing for time to get those offshore banking accounts set up. As of this writing they are so far behind the curve that not only will Obama win by 5, but I believe the democrats will regain a majority in the house…
thanks Thomas… hope you are correct.. but electing Democrats is only part of what needs to happen.. in the end we need to "green" the party just like the right wingers did to the repubs.. we need a ground up progressive party, not a facism light imitation
(dyslexia alert)
This article is missing crucial points. It talks about Boehner connected lobbyists. Who are these particular lobbyists? Which ones are they? Is it a public affairs firm or is it a couple of well-connected types?
Someone has to carry this out. I doubt you'll have 55 year old senior lobbyists running the social media aspect. That means that this is an elaborate effort. Who, specifically, is behind this effort?
actually Chris cited the firm and their connections early in the video..
Jonathan Troll
Hello! his former Aides.
Get yer finger out of fox new's butt and watch the video and he says the names of the lobbyist firm. I'm sure YOU can name Boner boys former aides, Can't you?
I dunno–just a hunch, maybe; but I'm willing to bet that the OWS side has much better media-savvy than the dim-bulbs on the other side. The repubs couldnt possibly have any grasp of the popular culture or they'd never allow their candidates to vomit the detritus they do.
One thing in our favor is that they often overplay their hand. Not so long ago they relied on their loud mouths to do their dirty work like Sarah Palin, Beck, Joe the Plumber etc. It worked for the 2010 election but now those figures are sidelined and their bruhaha no longer carries much weight. The new hate shouters are no longer quite so effective with the OWS, that is why they become louder and louder and start to use dirty tricks of sabotage.
isn't it funny that Boehner things that an economy that stops the rank abuses of the banks gives everybody a fair shake is an "extremist" position?
Thanks for posting this. Tweeting it now.
What is wrong with bringing information about people up? People do it all the time against politicians both democrat and republican. Heck, technically, OWS is doing that to rich people. Sounds to me like they're just finally getting wise and trying to fight fire with fire.
The real problem will be if they don't uncover any facts and simply create them.
Well, of course they'll make it up.
Clueless. They want so badly for this to be a farce, like all the farces they have perpetrated. Guilty minds assume conspiracy. It's real, y'all. Time to pay the piper. I absolutely recommend nothing less than #Revolution.
It's incidious
The RePigs do NOT UNDERSTAND that by tanking every single thing Obama or the Democratic Party put up to HELP the economy – is NOT going to work….
The Repigs ASSUME they will dupe the seniors and the military members – they are CLUELESS to the FACT that there are ACTUALLY NO JOBS and the VAST MAJORITY of seniors are on totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare….
The USArmy at Ft. Campbell (101st Airborne, Air Assault) has 1100 members due home by Christmas and the MAJORITY will want OUT – NO JOBS and now they are trying to DISEMBOWEL their VA Benefits…..
OWS is going to GROW with the returning soldiers…..hide and watch….
The Republican Party Leader of the House of Congress, the Speaker, and the Leader of the Senate Minority have done the party an irreparable damage which John Boehner's Lobbyist's group would be unable to heal the damage done even with all the use of the strongest antibiotics.
The above three mentioned Musketeers have not only burnt their own boats but also the boat of the main party. However, what is the harm trying to salvage the sunken ship "BY THE LOBBYISTS INCLUDING AIPAC WORKING ON BEHALF OF ERIC CANTOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THIS LOBBY GROUP THAT WORKS FOR ISRAEL'S INTEREST.
I guess if a person is a "repig" we cant support the Occupy movement now? Im a republican and have been out with my local OWS for nearly a month. I really dont appreciate some of you and your elitism and divisionary tactics destroying this movement.The childish name calling is bringing us down and making us all look like morons.You and your political bias are turning away many people. Just because we dont want your chosen label doesnt mean we are any less a part of the 99% nor are we aware of what Washington is doing, and thats BOTH the Dems and repubs. I cant believe you havent figured this out! When will some of you ever get that through your heads? If you want it to be ONLY democrats that can be allowed in your 99%, you arent any part of the real 99%.
First time poster here.
I am/was a 2008 Obama National Delegate from the same District That gave birth to the Tea Party Patriots.
All I can ask: Where the Hell is My President and why is he not supporting loudly, even take a few leadership pointers from OWS?
I feel the same way. I was a huge supporter of Obama; wept with joy that he was elected; elated at seeing him speak in person; now I feel like a complete ass for even writing that, here.
Sadly, now I understand that politicians (on both sides of the aisle) have no real power to do 'what's best for people', or even speak their minds. They are told what to do by the ones who fund their campaigns; i.e., Corporations and Big Banks. Obama cannot publicly support Occupy Wall Street, because Wall Street OWNS Washington, D.C.! They RUN that town! All Wall Street has to do is decide that Obama is out, and Obama will be out.
I still will vote for Obama, because I continue to have faith that we – the People – can turn this around, and take control of our own government, and restore sanity to our political system. I will vote for Obama because I have no other, "real" choice (and, he is respected abroad, and at least he can remember his own talking points). BUT I do NOT expect he (or anyone else in politics) will really be "working for the People" until paid lobbying is outlawed, and corporate money is taken OUT of politics.
I call upon the God's at "Anonymous" to smote these lobbyists, with their mighty wrath. May they expose these demons for what they are! May justice be swift, and terrible!
I second that. I hope "Anonymous" can help take down these lobbyists. That would do a world of good.

Treatment of Pain Associated with Fibromyalgia
This endpoint showed statistically significant improvement for milnacipran compared to placebo for patients receiving 200 mg per day of milnacipran (p=0.004) and for patients receiving 100 mg per day of milnacipran (p=0.025).
These results were analyzed using the Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF) analysis, as agreed to with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome
This endpoint also showed statistically significant improvement for milnacipran compared to placebo for both the 200mg per day dose (p=0.015) and 100mg per day dose (p=0.011) using the Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF) analysis. Results for both endpoints listed above were also statistically significant when analyzed using a Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method.
Component Assessments
In addition, when analyzed according to the pre-specified analysis plan both the pain and the PGIC components of the composite endpoint individually achieved statistical significance in favor of milnacipran at both doses and the SF-36 Physical Component Summary met statistical significance at one dose.
Milnacipran was generally well tolerated, with the majority of
patient withdrawals occurring early in the trial.
