Hassan was giddy, a word not often used to describe him. Not only was he relieved that Egypt's long nightmare had finally come to an end and the prospects of freedom were seemingly better than at any moment in the previous six decades, but Hassan must also have felt vindicated (though he is too polite to boast about it).
He was not among the organizers of the protests and his activism had not been as high profile as many others, but Hassan had worked tirelessly to raise awareness among his network of Egyptian and foreign contacts of the perfidy of the Mubarak regime. He was also entirely correct on another level, having little patience for the claim that Egypt's political system was stable and thus durable. Hassan argued quite the opposite; that it was a house of cards built only on a foundation of fear, which was meaningless once Egyptians could no longer be intimidated. He could not predict when that would happen, but he believed it was inevitable.
It did not take long, however, for Hassan's great hopes for the future to turn sour. Within thirty-six hours of Mubarak's flight to Sharm el Shaykh and ignominy, Hassan was back at the computer burning up his keyboard. His first dispatch was titled "Hoax" and mixed Hassan's typical bravado with painful and sudden disillusion:
"I believe a big conspiracy is being perpetrated against the people of Egypt."
"Following almost three weeks of nationwide protests leading to the apparent downfall of a dictator, jubilation fills the streets of Egypt, in effect drugging the people into believing they have really become free. They are convinced their interim government will really keep its promises and steer them peacefully to the democracy everyone so valiantly fought for . . . Egypt will remain a military dictatorship indefinitely. How I wish I am wrong."
This message was surely a result of that "revolutionary hangover" that observers had expected. After all, uncertainty breeds fear. Yet in the weeks and months after Mubarak's departure, Hassan remained deeply concerned over the ebb and flow of events. Most of all, he was suspicious of the senior military commanders, whom he quite correctly tied directly to Mubarak.
They were, indeed, his officers and while they ultimately pushed the president from office, they were loyal to him to a fault. Mubarak had threatened their cherished order nine days before his departure when he released thugs on Tahrir Square, yet the military stood aside during the chaos and stuck with their dictator.
To be sure, there were bright moments for Hassan. For example, when the revolutionary groups forced the resignation of Mubarak's last prime minister and loyal servant, Ahmed Shafiq, on March 3, Hassan's outlook improved considerably. He was under no illusions, however; he never believed that Egypt's transition would be easy, but he was also well aware that remnants of the National Democratic Party, elements of the police, state security agents - even after the State Security Investigations was abolished on March 15 - business interests, and the military would do whatever they could to salvage the old regime.
That is why he voted "no" in the March 19 referendum. Hassan, like the many others who rejected the amendments, feared that previously well-organized and well-funded groups would be in a better position to contest parliamentary elections in six months time than groups confronted with the job of transforming themselves from protest movements into political parties - no easy task. Indeed, there was nothing about the post-Mubarak order that would be easy, but many Egyptians firmly believed that whatever the outcome of their revolution it had to be better than the Mubarak era.
There is a tendency to believe that Egyptians rebelled against Hosni Mubarak in early 2011. That is true, but it is not entirely accurate. They revolted against a regime - a political order - that he led, but that Mubarak inherited from Sadat who had inherited it from Nasser.
It was a system that was founded in the ideological and power politics of the early 1950s, when the Free Officers discovered they could dispose of their opponents through nondemocratic laws, rules, regulations and decrees. Egyptians unexpectedly cracked open that regime and dislodged its caretaker – Mubarak - and for the first time in sixty years have an opportunity to define Egypt as they desire rather than as a line of now discredited military officers have defined it.
All the questions that Egyptians have been asking themselves: What is Egypt? What principles and values should guide Egypt at home and abroad? What is the role of religion and nationalism in the life of the country? What kind of foreign policy should Egypt pursue? Can Egypt be a regional leader again?
Suddenly Egyptians - through their own bravery and dignity - gave themselves an opportunity to provide their own answers to these questions. Without a compelling and coherent account of Egyptian society and politics in response, their extraordinary efforts could be for naught. Indeed, it is entirely possible that Egypt's elections, the seating of a new parliament, or the inauguration of an elected president may ultimately not matter much.
Although among the vast majority, there is great hope that Egyptians can construct a new political system and rebuild their society peacefully, that is unlikely as long as the underlying and antecedent debates about Egypt and what it stands for remain unresolved. There is no way of knowing how this process will unfold or how long it will take.
In the immediate post-revolutionary period it is clear that the contest over legitimacies is the first step in what will likely be a bruising battle to define Egypt. Consequently, it is extraordinarily difficult to determine how the country will end up. There are only hints, albeit mixed ones - positive developments about democratic change coinciding with ominous signs of authoritarianism. For now, one thing is clear: the struggle for Egypt continues.

text: Haifa, which crowns Mount Carmel high over the Mediterranean, can enrich your Israel visit in unexpected ways. Haifa falls into the inheritance of the sea-faring tribe of Zebulun (Gen. 49:13). For centuries it was only a fishing village, eclipsed by the great city of Akko/Ptolemais (Judges 1:31; Acts 21:7) across the bay. But Christians have always made pilgrimage to the Cave of Elijah, now in the heart of town, and the Carmelites built a monastery here, Stella Maris, "the star of the sea," dedicated to Mary. In the late 19th century, German Christians settled here, bringing modern life. For the Baha'is, this is also sacred ground. Before World War II, the British built Haifa's port, still a mainstay of Israel's economy, and gave the city a multi-cultural flair. The Jews, Christians and Muslims who comprise Haifa's 270,000-strong population have found ways to coexist that are a model for the rest of the country.

I am privileged to be able to offer an alternative insight into the complicated world of Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) theology. I will rely heavily on the Bible, but will also consider history and use logic in exposing deficiencies in SDA teachings. I would ask anyone who is considering becoming a SDA or if you are already in the SDA church, but are searching for the truth, to please allow me to offer a different explanation for the claims of the SDA. Remember : "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32). I can answer your questions pertaining to the beliefs and history of the SDA. I am not able to answer questions concerning spirituality or church discipline.
I have extensively studied the theology of the Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) for a number of years. I have many books and tape sets produced by experts in this field of study. I have debated current members of the SDA church. I have a great desire to help these people see the truth.

Dear Dr. Faria and all the doctors at AAPS,
There are those of us out here who are disgusted with the "pseudo-science" that is used in medical journals regarding the issue of handguns. The integrity of the medical profession is in jeopardy with our medical organizations taking politically correct positions that are unrelated to medicine. That is why I cannot join them.
There are some physicians, who, before they are doctors, are American citizens, and before that, are men. Men who believe in the duty to protect their wives and children from harm, and protect their communities from harm.
Now I know that there are other physicians out there who believe the same thing. And now that I know this, I have found a medical organization that I can join.
Thank you Dr. Faria, and keep the information coming.
Michael Creta, DO

I can understand why having a gun may give you some protection, but I think avoiding trouble and plain common sense is a better weapon!
In China (as well as most other places throughout world history), doctors were almost always martial artists. Not only did they practice combative arts, but they were often the most proficient warriors. Wong Fei-hung is perhaps the most legendary of the Chinese physician-warriors, but Huo Yuanjia, Wong Hon-hei, and Wong Leung-ying are some others.
Here in the Americas, doctors were also elite fighters. Goyakla (Geronimo), Sitting Bull and the Apache woman Lozen were all so-called "medicine men" or doctors. To become a healer in the Americas or in the far east took far more than 8 years of medical study. You were choosen as a child and might not be trusted with people's health until you were an old man or woman.
Other nations with histories of doctor-warriors include Japan, Israel, and most African nations.
Many ancient doctors were not only healers, and skilled warriors, but often times became leaders. They tended to be poets, artists, skilled craftsmen, and highly articulate. In other words, they had a high propensity to be among the most well-rounded members of their societies.
Today, we have so-called doctors who pursue medical degrees as fast as possible at politically left-leaning universities, and then we wonder why they have forgotten that doctors should know martial arts: that they should know how to fight. Doctors should be well-armed and proficient.
The best deterent for violence is the proven potential to inflict greater violence on those who might seek to do you harm. Ancient doctors knew this, and they practiced it. Too many modern doctors have been led astray by emotional ideologies that have little root in reality. Thankfully, there are still well-informed and skilled physicians, like Dr. Faria, who understand that tools of the martial arts are necessary for the freedom to practice autonomous medicine.
~107 degrees in the shade - can you take the heat?
Dear 107th degrees in the shade,
You must live in Arizona!
I love your informative and intriguing post. At one time I was thinking of writing a book about revolutionary (warrior) physicians, but I never did, as I became saddened and disillusioned by the timid behavior of modern physicians and their representative organizations, such as the AMA vis-a-vis the State.
Physicians have allowed the government to collectivize medicine and even permit the individual-base ethics of Hippocrates to become transmogrified into collectivized population-based ethics. So I thought my book would be anachronistic by the time it would have been published!
But I did write a paper posted here:
I hope you enjoy it. I will do more research on non-Western physicians and shamans. You are absolutely correct. MAF
Dr. Faria,
I wish you would write that book! It might be too anachronistic, but it's a viewpoint that is rarely expressed in modern, western society. About the only place I see the idea of warrior-physicians is in fictional kung fu movies about Wong Fei-hung, like the Iron Monkey and Once Upon a Time in China. It would be great to see more people expressing that idea, especially since the left has NO problem expressing the idea that doctors should be some kind of wimpy pacifist, who shuns any form of violence because it somehow means he cares more because he hates Glock. Also, its time to hear more from people like Captain Kirk and less from the Dr. Spocks of the medical world. In a raspy voice from years of space travel and minutes of intense radiation poisoning, Spock said, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." Thankfully Kirk never fully subscribed to that idea, and when he found out that his friend might not be dead, he risked his career, and even the careers of his closest friends to go save "the one." Kirk is a freedom fighter who believes in individual rights. Spock, while preaching logical thinking, is a socialist. Unfortunately, the medical community thinks more like Spock, and less like a true revolutionary physician! Perhaps some, even a few brainwashed doctors might re-think their purpose in medicine, and their ideas about firearms, if they only had another way to look at it.

Kansas Association of Realtors releases April 2013 home sales information
Kansas home sales rose by 7.8 percent in April 2013 compared to the same period last year, according to new figures released by the Kansas Association of REALTORS®. Sales totaled 2,891 units in April, up from 2,682 units in 2012. In comparison, sales on a national level rose by 9.7 percent for the month.
"Sales so far this year are the strongest we've seen since 2008," said KAR president, Steve McCullough with Midwest Land Specialists, Inc., in Newton. "As sales have increased, the average time to sell a home has continued to fall."
Across the state, there were 14,658 active listings at the end of the month. Supply of new and existing homes on the market ? which is determined by taking the number of active listings and dividing by the number of sales ? represents 5.2 months.
The statewide average sale price last month was $175,828, compared to $154,593 in April 2012. This represents an increase of 13.7 percent. The statewide median sale price last month was $142,750, compared to $139,000 for the same period last year. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the median home price in the Midwest rose by 6.7 percent to $149,300. The national median existing home price was $192,800, which is 11 percent above last year's figure. The median price is the value for which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less.
According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate on a 30?year conventional fixed?rate mortgage last week was 3.51 percent.
For more than 90 years, the Kansas Association of REALTORS® has been the "Voice for Real Estate" in Kansas.

Like many parents, Lynda wanted to instill in her kids a desire to perform good deeds in the community — and beyond. Moved by the malaria crisis in Africa, Lynda discussed it with her family, and her daughter, then in kindergarten, was inspired to take action. Together, the mother-and-daughter team educated scores of kids about malaria and raised thousands of dollars to buy bed nets to help stop the spread of the disease.
"Mom, that's not right! We need to send some nets to Africa right away!"
This was the response of my 5-year-old daughter after I told her that bed nets prevent malaria and save lives in Africa.
I'd been watching a TV program on malaria, and I couldn't get it out of my mind. Most devastating to me was that 3,000 children per day are dying from the disease, which is preventable and curable. While malaria has been eliminated in parts of Asia, Europe, and America, in Africa, where there is widespread poverty and underdeveloped health care, the disease continues to spread. One thing that can prevent the disease from spreading is giving families bed nets that have been treated with insecticide to sleep under.
It haunted me and I knew I had to respond. The next morning, at breakfast, I shared what I'd learned with my husband and my kids, Katherine, then 5, and Joseph, 2. I explained that a little mosquito bite is a terrible problem in Africa and that sleeping under a special net helps stop the mosquito. Katherine quickly understood and wanted to help. She suggested we do a lemonade stand, which we'd done to help raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims. But I told her that we might need something a little bigger.
We talk about global issues at home and in church, so the topic of suffering and death was not new to her and I was not afraid to talk to her about it.
I truly believe that Katherine was so committed to this mission because she saw how important it was to me. She understood how sad it made me when I thought of the children in Africa who were dying from this preventable disease.
A Place to Start
After months of research online and at my local library, I was led to the United Nations Foundation, an organization that distributes bed nets in Africa. A wonderful working relationship began, and with their support Katherine and I decided to start fundraising at our local church.
We introduced One Bed Net At A Time during services throughout the 2006 Labor Day weekend. We were both a little nervous doing the presentation. But together we explained how in Africa, mosquitoes can kill by transmitting malaria. We explained that every 30 seconds a child dies from this illness. I emphasized malaria's intimate connection with poverty. Katherine stated that malaria can be prevented by sleeping under a bed net, which costs $10. She inspired the congregation.
Katherine and I went on to talk to the children at Sunday school. We displayed actual bed nets, performed a skit, and used a diorama, which Katherine and had made with the help of her little brother, to demonstrate to the kids how the nets prevent malaria. We then had the kids make bookmarks covered in netting to take home so they could share the message with others. I knew if we could teach the children four words — Africa, mosquitoes, malaria, and bed nets — then they would understand and want to help ...and they most certainly did!
That fall, Katherine and I made our One Bed Net At A Time presentation to many others. We spoke in front of groups at our local library, gym, pre-school, elementary school, neighboring churches, three local newspapers, a Girl Scout Troop, and a home schooling co-operative. As the holiday season approached, kids from both the church and community decorated homemade gift certificates, allowing gift-givers to purchase bed nets in someone's honor. These were a huge hit and over 600 were sold! Katherine, Joseph, and her friends had fun decorating the gift certificates. By October 2007, we raised over $25,000 to buy bed nets, which have saved thousands of lives in Africa.
I could not have asked for a better partner than my daughter. As parents, we need to lead by example. We can only hope our children will follow in our footsteps, and if they do, the power of one little child can bring about amazing change.
Unbeknownst to us, at the same time, others were thinking along the same lines. Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly was asking his readers to buy bed nets to help stop the spread of malaria, and the incredible response had prompted the formation of Nothing But Nets, a global fundraising campaign to fund nets that prevent malaria in Africa. The UN foundation helped link our two groups and they invited us to help kick off the official campaign.
On January 4, 2007, Katherine's sixth birthday, our family traveled to New York City to kick off the campaign. Katherine and I were honored for our fundraising efforts. Katherine, surrounded by TV cameras and a studio audience, used her diorama of an African hut and family to explain how a net saves a person's life. Many in the crowd were wiping tears from their eyes. I am humbled by Katherine's understanding of and commitment to this mission and have learned from her to never underestimate a child's abilities.

But, a little clarification is in order. Franklin did sit on the committee but The Declaration Of Independence is too perfect a document to have been written by a committee! Jefferson locked himself in his hotel room and hammered it out over one weekend. All the other four members did was approve it for presentation.
Also, Franklin's Poor Richard Almanac was an informative and entertaining read of that time. Paine's Common Sense inspired men to take up arms and fight for their Liberty!

Overall your plan is ambitious but seems well thought of. In this plan, various things need to be monitored or controlled simultaneously, while the lcd keypad accepts inputs. You will need to write your code with state machine. It's extremely difficult for first timers. Plus you have your unique hardware so online forum members that don't have your hardware will be able to provide limited help.Is there a slightly less ambitious plan that involves less components to control and sense?

Classic Bamboletta - Marilee
Sold Out
This is Marilee. She has skin and green eyes. Her hair is made from a mix of hand dyed wool and mohair yarns. Marilee comes with the pictured outfit, underpants and wool felt shoes!
The original Bamboletta doll, our Classic doll is the very first style of doll we made over ten years ago. Based on traditional German doll-making patterns similar to the Waldorf Doll style, they're a bit larger than most of our dolls and come with more detailed clothing and underpants. Their thick hair is perfect for combing and styling to unleash a child's creativity. Always hug-ready, our sweet Classic Dolls are also a little heftier than most, which gives them a more realistic feel that can be very comforting to children. Recommended for ages three and up, though they're a great companion for all ages.
- 15" long
- Hair made with wool, mohair, and alpaca yarns
- Body sewn with specially-milled cotton from the Netherlands
- Stuffed with natural, western Canadian wool
- Includes a unique Birth Certificate, care instructions, and Blush Kit for touching up rosy cheeks
- Made with lots of love by Team Bamboletta in Canada
- This doll is one of a kind, no two dolls are exactly alike. They are as individual as your little ones.

- Description
Early on a July morning these amazing animals lumbered out of the fog on the starboard side of the I/B 50 Years of Victory. The bears didn't pay much attention to us or to our ship. Momma Bear did look briefly in our direction when her arrival was announced on our intercom. Apparently satisfied that her family was safe, they resumed their slow walk across our bow, and they finally disappeared into the fog on our port side.
Polar Bears are an endangered species. Their fur is valued for its warmth and translucent white appearance. Russian laws forbid the hunting of Polar Bears. Alas, the United States does allow Polar Bear hunting. The mother and her cubs would be in particular danger in some parts of Alaska.
The environment is also stressing Polar Bear populations. Polar bears live on the thick Arctic ice. In the far north, seals are preferred Polar Bear food as they pop up out of breathing holes in the ice. It is an energy-efficient way for Polar Bears hunt. With warming of the seas, receding sea ice will change this way of hunting, driving changes in bear behavior or possibly contributing to the loss of the world's Polar Bears.
See how many Polar Bears you can find here. This panorama, taken in late July, has a variety of ice shapes to admire, as well as melt pools and the fracture lines in the ice that were made by the ice breaker.
Please take some extra time to admire the cold emptiness of the High Arctic. And maybe wonder at the lives of these beautiful creatures and maybe even consider what the world would be like without sea ice and Polar Bears.

Contact & Sources
The unmistakable design and spirit of the Flavor Paper brand stem from a history that precedes the business itself. A man known only as Ted created his first wallpaper designs in the 1970s. Three decades later, Jon Sherman rescued Ted's hand-screening equipment as it was on its way to the scrapyard, and opened up the first Flavor Lab in New Orleans in 2003.
"Ted's original designs were actually very contemporary in pattern and scale—classic geometrics and florals that have survived centuries," Sherman says. "We just refreshed the color palettes to give them a modern update."
Sherman and his team did extensive research to understand the history of those original designs, uncovering artists and printmakers from around the world that Ted had taken ideas from. The Flavor Paper legacy, it would seem, is one of history reassembled.
Design elements in Flavor Paper's 4-story, 15,800-square-foot headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y. shed light on just how well the pieces are holding together.
Skylab Architecture spent seven months designing the original space, once a gas station, auto repair and parking garage built in 1931. The aging building was "an environmental mess," Sherman recalls, filled with "graveyards of cars," abandoned underground gas storage tanks and a hand-operated car lift in hazardous disrepair. The adapted building now includes a production floor, office space, a showroom and Sherman's own dazzling penthouse apartment. It opened in 2010 to much fanfare, winning accolades from the A&D press and the hearts of designers worldwide.
On first glance, much of the space looks the same today as it did in 2010. Two re-engineered versions of Ted's original screen printing tables operate on the ground floor; signature brushed aluminum display cases rotate in the showroom; and the vibrant Sakura wallpaper and Light Bright neon installation lights up the main stairwell.
But the company is growing, and as business evolves to match demand so does the space itself. The once-white production floor is now riddled with paint splatters, perhaps one day becoming worthy of a print itself. The team re-engineered one of the hand-screening tables with a counterweight, which now requires half the manpower to operate. Open storage layouts that Sherman thought "wouldn't be filled for years" house countless yards of materials and digital printing machines that churn out new product around the clock.
"Particularly as our digital team is growing, our computing power has had to be increased," he explains. "At first our office was just barren—like these three little laptops and nothing else. Now it's full."
The NYC team has grown from three to nine full-time employees. When asked what the company culture is like, a word and a long pause: "Casual," Sherman says. That's it.
"We're kind of working and designing in our own way. The whole thing here is a rounded approach." Roundness, it so happens, is the central motif of the Flavor Paper showroom, inspired by one of Ted's original 1970s patterns called Cycloid.
Circles abound, from poured terrazzo inlays to the aligned curves of the couches and ceilings, which give the illusion of a pattern repeat. In the past three years, the space has gone from all clean-line and glitz to something a bit more homey and workable.
"Downstairs it's all white and silver, like a lab, but up here it's warmer, cozier, with pops of color in the products themselves," says Sherman. "We want the products to shine, but if it's too stark things really glare out at you."

CAR: Facing one of the world's worst humanitarian funding shortfalls
6 March, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
John Ging, OCHA's Operations Director, warned that the Central African Republic (CAR) faces one of the world's worst funding shortfalls despite the country's deteriorating humanitarian crisis.
Mr. Ging, who visited CAR from 29 February to 2 March, witnessed first hand the appalling humanitarian conditions endured by tens of thousands of people affected by conflict, displacement and poverty.
"The European Commission has described CAR as the world's second-most-vulnerable country after Somalia," said Mr. Ging, after meeting internally displaced communities in the conflict-affected north-east. "Simply put, without adequate funding we are failing the people, particularly the country's children."
"With the recently brokered ceasefires in conflict-affected areas, we are seeing a very real opportunity for sustainable recovery in CAR, but this is being jeopardized by the severe shortfalls in humanitarian funding," he said. "We must do everything possible to mobilize an urgent re-engagement by the donor community."
More than 1.9 million people, about half of CAR's population, need humanitarian assistance, and 94,000 people are displaced around the country. Two in five children under age 5 are chronically malnourished, while two thirds of Central Africans do not have access to clean drinking water or health facilities.
The country faces a chronic medical emergency, with one of the world's highest death rates from infectious and parasitic diseases. About 30 per cent of people have access to medical facilities, but there is only one health worker per 7,000 people.
Despite these concerns, aid agencies working in the country received less than 50 per cent of the required funding in 2011 to provide life-saving aid and longer-term support. So far this year, only 5 per cent of the US$134 million required for 2012 has been received.
In Bamingui-Bangoran, north-east CAR, widespread conflict has displaced more than 14,000 people in the last few months. Mr. Ging met people in Bamingui-Bangoran who had recently returned to their villages and who urgently need support to rebuild their lives.
"There is a very real basis for hope, as thousands of displaced people are returning to their villages to rebuild their lives," he said. "However, courage alone—and there is an abundance of that here—is not enough to generate return on the scale needed, or to make it sustainable."
During his meetings with Government and UN officials and humanitarian partners, Mr. Ging discussed the funding crisis, as well as ways to improve humanitarian access to people in need across the country.
"Humanitarian workers are saving lives every day on the frontline of this forgotten and too-often-dangerous crisis," said Mr. Ging.

...it got me to thinking about how bombarded we are with commercials on a daily basis, regardless of which TV programs we happen to enjoy. Having been in the broadcast industry for 50 years, and written beaucoups commercilas, I feel I have some education in what the advertiser is 'getting' at. While the auto spots are quite mundane, the plethora of insurance campaigns are in many cases quite entertaining. For years now, we've been pummeled with the various Geico spots, which I find very well written and produced, albeit their claim to saving "15% or more" does stretch the truth in advertising policy. Them along comes the ever condescending Flo and her cabal of clowns that campaign for the 'Progressive' insurance programs. But here's the rub. This company is designed for the 'low information' crowd if ever there was one.
I'm not sure what the 'price' comparisons are for these various companies policies for cars, homes, cycles or whatever, but one truth has been brought out recently that has some folks questioning where best to spend their insurance money. This bit of information may help make that decision more intelligently.
r$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$..The "Harley Owners Group", the biggest motorcycle club in America , maybe even the world, hasn't found any members that have Progressive Insurance since the word got out about Progressives communist affiliations. Just being associated with George Soros should bring chills up your back. Oh, you don't know who George Soros is? He's finances the Obama progressive affiliations.
Progressive Insurance....Who are they?You've seen and probably smiled at the clever Progressive Insurance TV commercials.Well, as Paul Harvey would say, "You're about to learn the rest of the story".
You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white.What you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the major funders of leftist causes in America .
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what's left of Americas Judeo-Christian heritage.
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org <http://moveon.org/> .org/%3e" rel=nofollow target=_blank>" href="http://moveon/<http://moveon.org/> and America Coming Together, two key propaganda arms of the socialist left.
His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of the Obama political machine.
Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system that is targeting television shows on Fox News.Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) that he then applies to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy. He's banking on no one finding out who he is, so STOP buying Progressive Insurance and pass this information on to all your friends.Chairman Lewis' gift helps the ACLU promote their anti-Christmas agenda such as:
§Removing nativity scenes from public property
§Banning songs such as Silent Night from schools
§Refusing to allow students to write about the Christian aspect of Christmas in school projects
§Renaming Christmas break Winter break
§Refusing to allow a city sponsored Christmas parade to be called a Christmas parade
§Not allowing a Christmas tree in a public school
§Renaming a Christmas tree displayed on public property a Holiday treeIn addition to their war on Christmas, the ACLU uses gifts like that from Chairman Lewis to:
§Sue states to force them to legalize homosexual marriage
§Force libraries to remove porn filters from their computers
§Sue the Boy Scouts to force them to accept homosexuals as scout leaders
§Help legalize child pornography
§Legalize live sex acts in bars in Oregon
§Protect the North American Man Boy Love Association whose motto is "sex by eight or it is too late"
§Censor student led prayer at graduation
§Remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance
§Remove "In God We Trust" on our currency

AT eight that evening, the blue summer sky hid itself behind low hanging gray clouds; at a quarter past eight, a small fine rain was pouring steadily down, settling itself to a good night's work; at half‐past eight, I twisted a great coil of my red hair round my head, and slipped two wooden bead bracelets, given me by Dolly in a paroxysm of generosity, one birthday, over my wrists; these were all the preparations for meeting my love which my resources allowed of. At five minutes past nine I ran down into the hall, took an old shawl from the cloak‐stand, and was searching for an umbrella, when I heard my father's slow step crossing the library floor. Instantly I disappeared. I put the shawl over my head, and ran down the gravel walk, over the shining pebbles, to the trysting‐place.page: 142
There was an ornamental wooden gate in the lilac hedge; a gate separating our Eden from the profane outer world of the hay meadow. I peeped over this gate, and all about the lilac bushes; not a soul was there; my heart sank. "He cometh not," said I, quoting Marianna. I gazed disconsolately through the rain for exactly three minutes, at the end of which time I spied an object looming dimly through the misty air; it might have been a horse or a cow, a house or a haystack. It was none of these; it resolved itself into a large laughing young man, in damp velveteen.
"Before your time," said he, gaily, as he came up. "See what it is to have sold your watch; it's five minutes to nine still." I gave him no greeting; I only looked up at him with dumb anxiety. "What, not a word for me! I don't think I shall tell you at all, if you look so eager; it would not be good for you! Well, is the lion to come in to the lamb, or the lamb to come out to the lion?"
"Oh, the lamb—oh; I—I mean—I'll come out to you." I unlatched the gate, page: 143 and passed out into the long wet meadow grass, which felt much like stepping into a tepid foot‐bath. "Well," said I, breathlessly, clasping my hands as if he was my God, and I was praying to him.
"Well, Miss Lestrange, what?"
"Oh. you know what I mean; have you any news for me?"
"News! oh yes, lots; the funds have fallen to 84; and the Bishop of — is dead; and the eldest Miss Coxe is going to be married—to me—at least, so I heard this morning."
"If you asked me out here, only to make game of me, I may as well go home," I said; my not angelic temper succumbing under this process of aggravation.
"I ask you to come out this damp evening, and run the risk of catching a bad cold? I make game of you; God forbid?"
I turned away in mute indignation.
"What, you really are going? Well, I'm sorry for that. It's so jolly standing chatting here in this puddle; but it is rather a wet evening, isn't it? seasonable though, for the time of year."page: 144
I fumbled at the fastening of the gate, blind with rage. "Your wit, sir," said I, my voice trembling with passion, and drawing myself up with as much dignity as my limp old gown would admit of, "may be appreciated by Mr., Mrs., and Miss Coxe, but it won't go down at Lestrange. I wish you good evening."
"Good evening, Miss Lestrange," said he, opening the gate for me to pass through, and baring his handsome head to the rain. "By‐the‐bye, would you be so kind as to take charge of a small parcel which I believe belongs to you?"
He pulled a small roll of bank‐notes from his pocket as he spoke, and gave them to me. I hesitated. Should I throw them back with scorn into his teasing face, or should I gratify my intense curiosity to know how many there were of them? Curiosity prevailed, as I fancy it always has done, where women have been concerned, since the day when Eve was roused to inquisitiveness concerning that fruit which must have been a great deal more inviting to eye, and smell, and touch, than any apple that ever ripened, or she page: 145 would not have run such tremendous risks for the sake of it. It was no Ribstone pippin, I feel assured, that served humanity that dirty turn, rather some juicy perfumed eastern pulp.
I unrolled the notes, with fingers rendered awkward by greedy haste, separated and smoothed out each one; pleasant were their crisp watered faces unto me. Will there be £10, £20; either sum would be a nice little sop for Cerberus. So I thought, and then I counted one, two, three, four, five. Five times ten are fifty. FIFTY POUNDS for that most despicable of old turnips, whose interior was, so to speak, a dead letter; one of whose hands was a mutilated stump, whose movements were so erratic that no man could calculate from hour to hour what its next freak would be; and which was unwieldy, unbeautiful, and everything that was undesirable. Now and then, in these latter days, a strong qualm of doubt shoots through me, that never did that old warming‐pan see the inside of Wardour Street; that that £50 came out of the not too well‐lined pockets of poor open‐hearted Dick M'Gregor. No page: 146 such doubts had I at that time, to trouble my blissful young serenity; in those days I believed everything I heard, everything I was told, and almost everything I read. For a minute I stood, with drooped head, remorse driving small penknives through and through my heart; then I put out both hands, and said "O—h!" under my breath.
"Well, Miss Lestrange, what have I done wrong now? Anything fresh? I'm not witty now, surely, am I?"
"Oh, don't, don't," I cry, whimperingly, and I cover my face with my left hand, and grope for my pocket‐handkerchief with my right, while the shawl takes the opportunity of slipping off my head, down into an improvised pool among the buttercups; and there I stand, thin‐clad, bare‐headed, in the steadily pouring rain.
He picks up the shawl and shakes it.
"Are you too hot, Miss Lestrange? as you appear to be casting away your garments wholesale; if I might give an opinion, I should say that this was neither the time nor the place for taking a vapour bath."page: 147
I take away my shielding hand from my face, which I lift shy and burning towards his.
"Oh, please, don't mock at me any more. I cannot bear it; I thought you were only turning me into ridicule, and I—I—haven't a very good temper, I'm afraid, and I—I‐oh! if you only knew how I felt, I'm sure you'd leave me alone."
Whereupon I fell to weeping sore, for no particular cause. Oh, my Dick, my bonny, bonny sweetheart! how goodly you were then! are you goodlier now, I wonder, in that distant Somewhere where you are; or when we meet next, shall we be two bodiless spirits, sexless, passionless essences, passing each other without recognition in the fields of ether? God forbid that it should be so; oh, my King Olaf, as I called you first, in my girlish romance, and I cleave to the old name still. Oh, strong fair Norseman! did you rise from your warrior grave under the icy Northern waves, and come back among men only to shame the punyness of your descendants; and have you gone back thither again to your sleep beneath the green billows? page: 148 There comes no voice out of the void to answer me.
Tears played the good speed with Richard. In justice to myself, I must distinctly state that I was not aware of this fact, but was, on the contrary, grievously displeased with myself for having been beguiled into weeping. Had his grandmother, his maiden aunt, his laundress, or any old beggarwoman in the street cried at him, he would have been seriously disturbed at it. How much more then when a really good‐looking young woman was making her nose and eyes of a flame colour in her anguish at his cruelty. The smile died out of his jocund young face as if it had been an exorcised demon; nothing could be more surprisedly, pitifully penitent, than the expression of his blue‐gray eyes; he looked like a big dog that is very much ashamed of himself for having been betrayed into bullying a little one. For a minute he was quite at a loss what to do; then he bethought himself of my shawl, which he wrapped round my shoulders, saying hurriedly, meanwhile:page: 149
"There! there! don't cry, don't cry! poor little girl! it was a shame to make her pretty blue eyes red, wasn't it? but I didn't mean to vex her, indeed I didn't. I'd cut off my right hand before I'd hurt a hair of her sweet head."
He had bandaged me up so tight in his cageyness that I could hardly stir. I laughed through my tears.
"You've tied me up so tight that I cannot move my arms; I'm like a mummy."
He laughed too. "So I have, poor dear Nell! what an ill‐used little girl she is!"
He bent over me to rearrange my shawl, but when he had disposed its shabby old folds to his mind, he kept his arms about me. The rain dripped from his hat, and from his curly yellow hair, and Heaven's tears washed his bronzed cheeks; I looked up at him with shy rapture; at that brow "that looked like marble, and smelt like myrrh," at the honest, kindly, beautiful face; looked into his passionate eyes, and forgot the rain, and the long tangled grass, and my own mortifying silly behaviour, forgot everything in my new‐found wonderful bliss.page: 150
"Am I teasing you now? shall I leave you alone, as you asked me just now? Must I? I will if you wish me; I should dislike extremely having to do it, but I will in a minute, if you tell me."
So he whispers, while his gold locks and my russet ones blend agreeably together. I had not the slightest desire that he should leave me alone, but I said neither yea nor nay.
"Poor little pussy‐cat, is she very anxious to get away? does not she like being kept a prisoner? won't she stay with me one little minute? she'd have to go far before she could find any one that would love her better!"
For all answer, I lay my head on his breast, which the inclement weather has rendered rather a moist resting‐place, and my cheeks put on their rouge, which the May showers vainly endeavour to wash off. He kisses me softly, and I forget to be scandalized.
"Do you know, Nell, I do really like you rather, joking apart."
"Yes, I do; it's rather nice, don't you page: 151 know? having a foolish sort of little girl to kiss and make love to, and bully now and then; I haven't near done bullying you yet, miss, if you think that."
I raise my head, and make a feint of going. "If that's the way you're going to treat me, I'd better leave you this minute."
"Do by all means if you can; by Jove! how blue your eyes are, quite China blue, like tea cups!"
"What a pretty comparison!"
"I didn't say they were pretty; they're very big and babyish, and they pretend to be very innocent looking; but pretty! not exactly."
"I won't stay another minute."
"You're not going for two hours yet, good; and nor then without paying toll; twenty kisses, and as many more as I'm good enough to accept."
I make no relevant answer to this shocking announcement. I only burrow my countenance into his drenched velveteen shoulder, and murmur to it "O—h."
"Are you pretty comfortable, Miss Lestrange?"page: 152
"Nice growing weather, as I said just now, when you were in such an awful rage with me."
"Oh don't, don't remind me of it!"
"Yes, indeed, Miss Nell, you may well hide your face; that temper, unless checked in time, may (mind I don't say that it will, because our laws are so lenient now‐a‐days), may bring you to the gallows."
"What! for murdering you?"
"Yes, for tearing my fine eyes out, or murdering me, or some such atrocity; oh, you darling; how have I managed to get on all these eight and twenty years without you?"
The warm rain pattered and plashed on our faces; the big white lilac bush bent above us its dripping leaves, and fair large flower‐clusters brushed our cheeks, and gave out its strong pure scent freely to us.
"Heaven is crying pretty freely over our courtship, Nell," Dick says presently. "I hope it's not ominous."
"Hush! speak lower! I hear the gravel crunching!"
"Nonsense!"page: 153
"But I do, indeed. Sh! sh! sh!"
We listen; there is undeniably a faint noise, as of gravel ground beneath a yet distant heel.
"It's papa; he very often comes out after tea; but I thought the wet would keep him in to‐night. If I run very fast I shall be out of sight before he gets round here; he has not got to the garden‐house yet!"
"Da— I mean hang him; why could not he stay in doors till we came to fetch him?"
I laughed. "Good night; let me go, quick!"
"Not unless you say 'good night, darling.' I'll keep you else, till the governor comes round here, and then begin to talk very loud; by Jove, would not the old gentleman be pleased? well, is it coming? 'good night, darling,' or such a scolding from Sir Adrian."
I made the required concession with less bashfulness than might have been expected of me, and then took to my heels, and reached my room, panting, dishevelled, crimson, but in safety.

I think the OP was confused that, having done the google search in the future, he found that his own as-yet-unwritten question was already the top google search result for this. After pausing for a moment to consider the paradox, his head exploded, at which point he returned to the past where his as-yet-unexploded head proceeded to write TFQ.

TRAINING: As usual, training at least two times a day - one morning session and one evening session. In between, I go for massages and treatments to keep my body sharp for every training session.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started to train MMA in 2006 and before that I trained in boxing. It feels so real when you're standing in the cage next to your opponent. I just like it a lot.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
We have interviewed Malte Spitz, a German politician and privacy advocate. Malte is well-known for using German privacy law—which, like the law of many European countries, gives individuals a right to see what private companies know about them—to force his cell phone carrier to reveal what it knew about him.
It has been six years since the highly controversial Data Retention Directive (DRD) was adopted in the European Union. Conceived in the EU and steamrolled by powerful U.S. and U.K. government lobbies, this mass-surveillance law compels EU-based Internet service providers to collect and retain traffic data revealing who communicates with whom by email, phone, and SMS, including the duration of the communication and the locations of the users. This data is often made available to law enforcement. Europeans have widely criticized the DRD, and year after year, it has inspired some of the largest-ever street protests against excessive surveillance.
Does using cloud computing services based in the United States create a risk of US law enforcement access to people's data? The US Department of Justice (DOJ) seems to be trying to placate international concern by saying one thing in international fora; but it says something quite different in the US courts.
The United States Government is taking its stance pressuring the European Union to weaken its new strengthened data protection bill. The European Union has a history of strong data protection standards, emboldened by the European Charter's explicit provisions upholding data protection as a fundamental right. European Digital Rights (EDRi) revealed today a widespread U.S. lobbying effort against the November 29th leaked version of the legislative proposal for a Data Protection Regulation (DPR). DPR will repeal the existing EU Data Protection Directive, which details regulations regarding personal data processing within the European Union, and is due for official release on January, 25th 2012.
New Agreement Between the United States and Europe Will Compromise the Privacy Rights of International Travelers
The European Parliament will vote soon on an agreement to formalize US procedures for retaining and providing EU based Passenger Name Record (PNR) data of EU and US citizens traveling into, out of, and through the United States. The agreement will determine how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be able to use the broad swath of sensitive PNR information that is based in the European Union. PNR data contains a passenger's travel itinerary and consists of 19 different data metrics ranging from your name and address to your seat number and any general comments made by the ticketing agent. Travel agents, airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and railways collect the data whenever you make a reservation to travel or buy a ticket. The data is stored in central databases called Computer Reservation Systems (CRSs), and is pushed from the CRSs to DHS for passenger screening.

Kitchen Mailbox: Get the fat out ... and still enjoy itMay 23, 2013 8:00 AM
Who can resist a plate of macaroni and cheese? This popular comfort food is loaded with fat and calories, but it doesn't have to be.
Today's recipe is from "Comfort Food Makeovers: All Your Favorites Made Lighter" by the editors at America's Test Kitchen.
To lower the calories, the folks at America's Test Kitchen substituted low-fat evaporated milk for whole milk and light cheddar cheese and cornstarch for thickening instead of a roux made with butter. Here's the difference in calories and fat: Regular macaroni and cheese: 750 calories, 40 grams fat, 25 grams saturated fat. America's Test Kitchen macaroni and cheese: 470 calories, 11 grams fat, 5 grams saturated fat.
My family loved this version and I think you will, too.
If you have a favorite low-calorie, low-fat recipe and would like to share it, please send it to email@example.com and I'll share it with Kitchen Mailbox readers.
Noelle Nuckels of Adamsburg: "My mom used to work with a woman at Point Park University who made the most delicious chocolate-chip cookies. ... These were mound-like, measuring about 2 inches high and 2 inches in diameter. They did not have the "golden" color you would look for during baking, but were pale. There were no traces of any nuts, just pure chocolate-chip goodness. The middle almost had a cookie dough-like consistency, which is what really won me over!
"I adore baking as a hobby and asked her years ago for the recipe, but she said it was a secret family recipe. Very understandable, but I must know how she got that mound-like, cookie-dough consistency! Unfortunately, she moved to Arizona, and I have been without these cookies for at least 10 years.
"If anyone has a cookie that fits this description and doesn't mind sharing, I would greatly appreciate it!"
PG tested
1 pound elbow macaroni
Salt and pepper
3 12-ounce cans low-fat evaporated milk
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoons cornstarch
12 ounces light cheddar cheese, shredded (3 cups)
1 cup panko bread crumbs, toasted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add macaroni and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often until just al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, drain macaroni, set aside.
Combine evaporated milk, mustard, garlic powder, 2 teaspoon salt and cayenne in the empty pot and bring to a simmer. Combine 1/4 cup of the pasta water with the cornstarch and whisk into pot. Continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Off heat, whisk in cheddar, a handful at a time, until melted. Stir in cooked macaroni and add remaining 1/4 cup pasta water as needed to adjust consistency; sauce should be slightly soupy.
Transfer mixture to 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss toasted panko with melted butter in bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle over top. Bake until sauce is bubbling around edges, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Year-round service
Balmy air perfumed by tropical allspice trees greets you upon arrival on Jamaica's lushly forested north coast. The woodsy aroma is a small whiff of the paradise to come from the nearby beachfront resorts at Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay.
Runaway Bay is in St. Ann, known as Garden Parish. It is a Caribbean cornucopia of history, culture and eco-adventure. And it offers as much relaxing seclusion or interactive recreation as you want. The captivating rhythms, spices and natural beauty unique to Jamaica are wonderfully concentrated in this region.
If you want to get wet (and a little wild), this is the right place. The quaint but vibrant seaport of Ocho Rios, known locally as Ochi, is named after the swift-moving rivers and countless tributaries. Aside from beach and pool diversions, the aquatic fun also includes tubing down the great White River, horseback riding in the ocean and scuba diving and snorkelling with sharks and rays.
The most popular activity – and for good reason – is climbing the cascading tiers at Dunn's River Falls, a national treasure.
Ocho Rios' naturally filtered water flows through dense jungle on temperate inland slopes. From breathtaking panoramas at the foot of the Dry Harbour Mountains, you can marvel at the sea's blue waters that stretch more than 145 km clear to Cuba.
From these heights, you'll also see the massive cruise ships docked at Ocho Rios. You can survey sandy bays, rocky coves and the peaks and valleys that form "cockpit country." Feel how the tropical heat is moderated by the windswept sea and cool mountain breeze. Find shade under towering palms, bamboo and fruit-bearing trees such as almond, ackee and lychee.
Peppered with botanical gardens, there's no shortage of natural attractions in the Garden Parish. But if you're looking for some zesty local culture, there's plenty of that too. After all, this is the island's spiritual heart – the birthplace of reggae superstar Bob Marley and patriotic leader Marcus Garvey.
With such a rich medley of sights, sounds and flavours, Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay are destinations well-suited to families, couples and outdoor enthusiasts who want to soak up – and soak in – the local charms.
Ocho Rios - Runaway Bay is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- outdoor adventure
- snorkeling and diving
Events of interest:
Jamaica Fat Tyre Festival
This is a seven-day mountain biking event designed to highlight Jamaica's vibrant culture, unique geography and great riding trails. Since its inception, the event has sparked serious interest on several major biking blogs and some of the top biking magazines, making Jamaica a contender as a great mountain biking destination. The Fat Tyre Festival has also featured some of the world's top mountain bikers, including Cam McCaul, Kyle Ebbett, Kathy Strand and Katie Holden, among others. It's held each year in the middle of February.
Bob Marley celebrations
The first week of February features activities throughout the island to celebrate the life and achievements of music legend Bob Marley. Activities in Jamaica usually include a service at the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and ceremonial laying of plaques at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston.

The following excerpts are taken directly from the pages of Pax Centurion – whose .pdf archives had been publicly hosted on the BPPA website, before suddenly disappearing on Tuesday, without explanation, hours after Chris Faraone's story on Pax went to press. (We are republishing the files here so that the public can scrutinize Pax Centurion's twisted legacy.)
JIM CARNELL –MAY/JUNE 2012 | Did you catch this disgraceful tidbit in the Globe. . . "Together with the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement (MAMLEO), [Rev. Bruce] Wall and black clergy from across the state are organizing a June 16 anti-violence summit and listening session, where police officers of color, youth workers, and city officials will hear from teenagers who are frequently affected by crime. 'A lot of the young people want to work with officers who look like them,' Wall said. 'But when they go into the rooms, into the forums, they're working with officers who don't.' " Yeah, right. I guess only "officers of color" can relate to these troubled teens. (Personally, I consider myself "of color", as tawny pink and lobster red are both colors, too, you know.)
JAMES CARNELL – NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011| Having been assigned to the "Occupy Boston" site several times, let me assure you that the place is filled with fakes, frauds, phonies, and nitwits from affluent communities such as Dover, Hamilton, and Wellesley. These people have, for the most part, never worked a day in their privileged lives. For them, "Occupy Boston" is a chance to "play protester," to assuage their liberal guilt, to act upon the theories and ideologies in which their radical professors indoctrinated them while at Harvard, Smith, and Gordon colleges. They remember Mommy and Daddy, now an accountant and a lawyer for major corporations, sitting around the fireplace in Dover with wine and brie re-living their glory days from the '60s, fighting the man in Harvard Square, protesting against this, that or the other thing . . . and now it's their chance.
KEVIN DOOGAN – JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2006 | It still amazes me that people are shocked when individuals are mistaken as gang bangers and shot in the street. Families rant and rave how these were good kids, how could this have happened? Well if you allow your loved ones to dress like a gang member, strut like a gang member, hang out in gang areas, and go strolling through gang strongholds hooded up then what do you expect?
JAY MOCCIA — NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011 | In case anyone isn't paying attention, Jim Crow is alive and well and he's after your Second Amendment rights! . . . Some of you may believe that only the military or law enforcement should have guns, or not everyone is entitled, and if that is your opinion, then thanks for nothing Mr. Crow! Common sense regulation and registration are acceptable in moderation. Just use the same criteria you use for voting: age, and citizenship — you don't have to get a CORI check, show an ID or pass a Dept. of Mental Health Screening in order to enter a booth and make a choice that could have consequences for thousands of your fellow citizens, why should you in order to exercise one of your other guaranteed Constitutional Rights.
