The Open Challenge Of Holy Quran To Disbelievers
Allah Almighty is the wisest and all knowing and the ordinary human mind often cannot get to the wisdom hidden behind His decisions. Similarly, Allah chose the best persons to be his Prophets to perform the job of being reformer of a nation and to tell them about good deeds and refrain from evil ones.
The miracles of Prophets (A.S.):
In order to empower these pious people to do their job efficiently, Allah granted them with different miracles and wonders. Allah selected the miracle out of the field of which these nations had excelled to make the magnitude of the message clearer and easily comprehensible for the people. Similarly, Allah bestowed the miracle of Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who is also the last of the Prophets and there will be no Prophet after him. Allah says in Holy Quran,
"We shall show them Our signs on the horizons and within themselves until it will become clear to them that it is the Truth. Does it not suffice that your Lord is Witness over all things?" (41:53)
The legacy of Arabic literature:
Arabic is a very powerful, eloquent, and rich language and many scholars have endorsed this particular claim of Arabs. The Arabs at the time of Holy Prophet (PBUH) were generally illiterate and totally oblivious of any scientific knowledge. However, they were far superior to the other nations because of greatness of their language. Furthermore, they created the masterpieces of poetry that are comparable with that of any other language. Arabs were so proud of their literature that they used to call non-Arabs as "Ajmi" that literally means dumb.
The challenge of Holy Quran:
The centuries of hard work by Arab Bedouins and constant refinement resulted in extremely rich vocabulary and an extra ordinary Arabic literature. Therefore, Allah decided to bestow the primary miracle to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in this very field of language that is Holy Quran.
When Quresh of Makkah rejected the claims of Holy Prophet (PBUH) of being Prophet and alleged that he himself had written Holy Quran, Allah Almighty threw a great challenge towards them. Allah in Holy Quran challenged them to create a similar piece of writing if they think that the Holy Quran is not a word of Allah.
"Or do they say: "He (Prophet Muhammad,) has forged it (this Qur'an)?" Nay! They believe not! Let them then produce a recitation like it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful." (52: 33-34)
However, disbelievers failed miserably but Allah kept on making his challenge simpler for them and finally asked Quresh to write only a single Surah at par with the literary quality of Holy Quran. Allah describes the other challenge in the following words,
"And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true." (2:23)
However, again disbelievers from entire Arabia could not write even a single line that is similar in quality and meaning to any of the verse of Holy Quran. Allah Almighty also challenged them in the following words,
"Say: If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support." (17:88)
Arabs who considered their language as the master of languages were not able to imitate even a single Surah (chapter) or even Ayah (verse) of this great divine book. They completely failed to win the challenge Allah throw to them. Therefore, it was proved that Muhammad (PBUH) had not written the Holy Quran but it is indeed the word of God.
The challenge of Holy Quran is still open to everyone who is skeptic about the divinity of Holy Quran. As far as literary point of view is considered, the Holy Quran is a masterpiece of literature written in half poetic and half prose fashion. Different people have tried desperately to adjust grammatical rules according to that used in Holy Quran in order to produce a work similar in quality to Holy Quran. However, none of them has managed to succeed and no one will manage to succeed ever.

Henkel Adhesives "Glue & Win" contest
Henkel asked us to create a digital promotion strategy for their "Glue & Win" prize contest; consumers were invited to take a photo while they're fixing, decorating or repairing something whit Moment glue and to upload the photo on the dedicated micro site where the voting is organized; at the end, the projects with the most votes get the prizes.
We were limited to web communication with a small support in other media and POS
The idea was to benefit from the above the average Facebook penetration in Serbia, we've created a Fan page for the contest, designed a custom landing tab with a teasing message – Click here to find out how you may get 3,000 € followed by the detailed instructions and the embedded video explaining the whole procedure, after the user clicks on Like.
We've stuck with the Facebook Social Ads and limited the relatively more expensive display advertising banner campaign to the first period of the campaign; our plan was to get the consumers to the Facebook Fan Page first and then to "transfer" them to the web site.
We've insisted that, besides FB share button on home page, the same feature is implemented on each project page so that the user would be able to easily invite their own friends to vote for their projects; as a results – we have more than 45% of all the site visits came from Facebook.

By SALLY SEXTON
As of today, many programs across the nation will begin to feel the impact of the government's sequestration, an across-the-board set of budget cuts totaling $1.2 trillion from defense and non-defense spending over the next decade.
According to the Budget Control Act of 2011, sequestration will cut $85 billion from the federal budget in the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, slashing about $1.1 trillion more over the next decade, that could result in massive job losses, funding cuts to the national public education system and more.
Several organizations within Parker County that are funded by the government could feel an impact as well, including services provided by the non-profit Texas Neighborhood Services.
One of the services TNS provides to the public is Head Start, a program that provides early childhood services as well as family services to low-income children from birth to age 4.
"Right now, because our program runs the same calendar year as the schools, we're only a couple of months away from being out for the summer," TNS executive director Brad Manning said. "We don't anticipate sequestration having an immediate impact on Head Start through this school year, but we are evaluating and watching the information coming out of [Washington, D.C.] to determine how it could impact us during the next school year."
Manning said that while the impact is unknown, it would account for 80 percent of funding given by the government. The other 20 percent comes from local contributions and local support, he said.
"You always have contingency plans in place when you live in an era of federal funding," Manning said.
Head Start, among other things, provides free child care, complete with breakfast and lunch, for children Monday through Friday. In addition, Head Start also offers health services, including dental checks and child physicals.

stopped a car occupied by four adults who reportedly ran out on their $50.18 bill at Hooters on Sept. 5.
Jarrell A. Densmore, 27, Romell Funches, 28, and Seretas Sanderson, 27, all of Chicago, and Tamekkia L. Moore, 32, of South Holland, were charged with theft of service.
The manager of the Hooters restaurant at 9159 S. Cicero Ave. in Oak Lawn told police that the foursome came into the restaurant around 6:45 p.m. and ordered wings and drinks. One of the women told the manager that their waitress forgot to bring dipping sauces for their wings, according to the police report. About 15 minutes later, the four ran out of the restaurant without paying their bill, the report said.
Police said the manager ran out the back door and was able to get a description of the car. While the manager was speaking with a 911 dispatcher, police stopped the car at 87th and Richmond, the report said.
Officers said the four people admitted to being at Hooters. The manager positively identified them and signed complaints for theft of service.
Police said Funches had an active warrant out of DuPage County for failure to appear in court. All four are scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 18 in Bridgeview.

The police mug shot of Aaron Hernandez now becomes the face of the Urban Meyer Era at the University of Florida.
As it should be.
As it should've been all along.
Tim Tebow played a contributing role on the two Meyer-coached football teams that brought national championships to Gainesville. He won the school's third Heisman Trophy. He became the most-celebrated Gator athlete ever.
And a gushing state media, filled with UF alums, eagerly embraced every opportunity to focus their attentions on Tebow and grow the legend of the charismatic quarterback.
They gave Gators fans exactly what they wanted.
But they ignored the rest -- or, to be more precise, the ARRESTS -- until the numbers became so alarming that, as journalists, they no longer could look the other way, especially with the national sports media starting to take notice of prominent UF players showing up on police blotters.
It was in 2009 that the Orlando Sentinel began keeping a running list of Gators arrested on Meyer's watch. And when star running back Chris Rainey was booked on a felony charge of aggravated stalking in September 2010, the UF crime wave made national headlines.
Rainey sent a threatening "Time to Die" text to his girlfriend and was dismissed from the team. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and rejoined the Gators two seasons later.
But Rainey was merely one of many.
Overall, 25 players were arrested 31 times during Meyer's six-year run at UF, where he compiled a 65-15 record -- or roughly two wins per arrest.
And those numbers don't include other incidents in which Gators were suspects or were questioned but weren't charged because there wasn't enough evidence. Nor does it include players suspended for failed drug tests and other violations of team rules.
The arrest numbers do include several cases in which the charges were dropped, often as a result of the legal work of Gainesville attorney Huntley Johnson, who represented so many accused Gators that some of my more-cynical media colleagues would refer to him as Meyer's real defensive coordinator.
As for Hernandez, he hit the arrested-questioned-suspended trifecta in his first two years at UF.
As a freshman, before he turned 18, the talented tight end from Connecticut was arrested for getting into a fight with a bouncer at an off-campus bar. He was charged as a juvenile and escaped with deferred prosecution.
Months later, the Sentinel identified Hernandez as one of four players questioned by police investigating the shooting of two men in Gainesville after UF's loss to Auburn.
Then, Hernandez was one of three players suspended for UF's 2008 season opener, and he later acknowledged that his punishment was for testing positive for marijuana.
Yet he continued to don the orange and blue, helped Meyer win a second national championship in 2008 and was a key player on the team that lost the Southeastern Conference title game in 2009 before skipping his senior year to enter the 2010 NFL Draft.
To be sure: Hernandez wasn't asked to leave. It was his decision.
Same goes for Meyer.
He left UF citing health concerns, took one of those cozy TV gigs at ESPN and, after only one year away from coaching, accepted the Ohio State job.
He left behind three 13-1 seasons, a couple of national championships, two SEC titles and a Heisman Trophy.
But at what price?
The answer to that question came with Hernandez's arrest Wednesday on a first-degree murder charge in Massachusetts.
That's as much a part of Meyer's legacy at UF as anything Tebow and his teammates accomplished on the field, and probably more so.
Many Gators fans will say it's unfair to pin this on Meyer and trash an otherwise-successful, six-year run, just because one player went bad.
But it wasn't only one player.
Besides, many of those same fans didn't hesitate to snidely take shots at the University of Miami ("Thug U") and Florida State University ("Criminoles") in years past.
Call it karma.
No matter how much Gators fans might want to cling to fond memories of Tebow, they never will be able to forget Hernandez.
The face of the Urban Meyer Era at UF is now a police mug shot.

Police made an arrest in a case of alleged dog poisoning that shocked the neighborhood.
Police announced Friday that 53-year-old landscaper Kenneth Hyland is in custody, suspected of soaking hot dogs in antifreeze and leaving them for pets to eat. An area outside the Bricklayers Apprentice Fund at 550 Medford St. is the site of the controversy.
The poisoned wieners may have been intended as a warning to dog owners to pick up after their animals.
At least three dog owners recently told police at District A-15 they saw a landscaper at that location leave what they believe to be poisoned hot dog pieces on the grass.
One resident who reported the incident told police that he saw the landscaper with "a [five]-gallon bucket of a blue/green solution believed to be antifreeze with hot dogs soaking inside."
The witness said that he saw the landscaper spread the hotdog pieces around in the grass after completing his work.
"The witness confronted the suspect, stating 'are you trying to poison the dogs?'" a police report read.
"The suspect replied 'yes,'" the witness told police. The pair argued before the landscaper left. Once the landscaper had gone, the witness collected the hot dog pieces in his own five-gallon bucket before informing police of the incident. Two neighbors accompanied him to the district A-15 police department. They told officers that they had seen the same man performing the landscaping at earlier times and had noticed hotdog pieces left behind after his departure.
Durty Harry's Doggie Boutique posted on Facebook that several customers have reported having sick dogs, possibly as a result of the hot dog pieces.
Police took the collected hot dogs as evidence.
The woman who answered the phone at the Bricklayers Apprentice Fund earlier this week said that no one within the organization would speak to the press on this matter.
Hyland will face a judge on Monday, police said.

The owners of received approval Tuesday from the St. Clair Shores Planning Commission to expand their parking lot to ease parking congestion along California Street.
Bob and Mariana Markaj requested and received approval to rezone the property behind the restaurant from the Planning Commission to expand their parking lot. A site plan was also approved for a 23-space lot to alleviate parking in front of homes on California.
"I think this is the best solution for all of us," said Mariana Markaj.
This was the second time to request the rezoning of property behind his Harper Avenue restaurant to allow him to purchase an existing house, raze it and expand the current lot.
During a meeting in July, residents expressed concern to the commission about the impact of the current parking, traffic and truck parking. The request died after a motion by the planning commission to table the request and a motion to approve the rezoning both failed.
The issue was brought back before the Planning Commission with some modifications including moving the approach closer to Harper to alleviate traffic on California and combine the parcels of the current and proposed lots.
Employees of the restaurant will also park at to allow for additional parking for customers, Bob Markaj added.
Before the any demolition can occur, the requests must still be approved by City Council. Markaj and his wife anticipate the project to be completed by winter.
A second proposal before the Planning Commission to rezone property on Pallister, south of 9 Mile, from residential to parking uses was tabled until the next meeting.

The Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka has sent a female swift fox to Canada, something of an "Eve" to the "Adams" in Alberta, to help restore the population of the rare mammals north of the border.
The swift fox named Kimi boarded a United Airlines flight with animal keeper Tracy Rein on Tuesday to be left at the Cochrane Ecological Institute in Alberta, Canada, where swift foxes are considered an endangered species.
Steve Parker, a spokesman for the wolf center, said the trip went without incident. Kimi rode the flight to Canada in a carry-on crate under Rein's seat. Swift foxes are the smallest North American canid, coming in smaller than some house cats at 4 to 6 pounds and 12 inches tall.
The species was actually declared extinct in Canada in the 1930s and has been making something of a comeback because of programs such as the one Kimi is participating in.
According to a statement from the wolf center, "The hope for Kimi is that she'll produce offspring that can be released into the wilds of Canada."
She was one of three swift foxes born at the Endangered Wolf Center last Mother's Day weekend. The species also had been considered endangered in the United States at one point, but is no longer, also because of concerted recovery programs.
The wolf center reports that swift foxes now live in a narrow range that intersects Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.
The Endangered Wolf Center now has three swift foxes left among the five species of canids in its care, and hopes to have a new litter of kits this spring. Endangered Mexican gray wolves, red wolves, maned wolves and African painted dogs are also at the center.
NOTE: The center offers public tours. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 636-938-5900.

DD1 & StarSports : Triangular series 2008
Sports channels to watch cricket is a complicated case in India. Every new series - new channels get the broadcasting rights and stump the viewers.
The coming Triangular cricket series between India, Australia and Srilanka to be played from February 3 to mid-march would be live on Channel "Star Sports"(the ESPN channel) and on Doordarshan - or DD1 or DD National as people might know it as.
DD1 will also show the Ind v Aus T20 match on 1st Feb.
The trick is - Starsports is available through Dish TV (the direct-to-home) satellite service in India but not through rival Tata Sky. So - it becomes a must for those using Tata Sky that the triseries in Australia 2008 involving Indian cricket team is shown on Doordarshan. Not to mention our rural areas where only DD1 reaches television sets, no other channels.. and news is that Doordarshan will show the series.
Following is a list of telecast start time with date wise time table of when the matches of Commonwealth Bank triseries will be played and shown on doordarshan. DD1 has a preview program called Fourth Umpire and you can find the detailed program time-table of Doordarshan on its official site here for highlights timings and other info.
In case you're not in India - this post has the list of International sports channels showing India in Australia cricket series.
**Itsonlycricket has also received many emails asking whether AIR = All India Radio would be giving the running commentary of this India-srilanka-australia trination cricket series or not.. well, I can't confirm that as no news has come as yet. If it does - this part would be updated.
**Why Starsports will telecast tri series and not Starcricket which was showing the India vs Australia test series?? well, what can I say - its a ESPN policy to keep troubling the innocent viewers who just want to watch cricket match. They just care about making more and more money.
**When will the highlights packages shown on Doordarshan and Starsports? good question for people who work all day and miss a match. now for specific info - you've to visit the doordarshan program schedule. TV timing list of starsports & I've already mentioned the Doordarshan official site who program listings change only for 1 day in forward..!

The township council will consider a resolution Thursday that authorizes payment for hazardous busing from the previous school year.
The township and school district have an agreement wherein the township pays for hazardous busing.
Hazardous busing stems off of courtesy busing provided for students who live within a certain distance from an elementary, middle or high school. The state requires that every child who lives more than a mile-and-half from an elementary school, or two miles from a high school, be bused.
Hazardous busing is provided for those students who would not normally be bused, but who deal with some kind of hazard on the way to school, such as crossing a highway or walking across gaps in the sidewalk.
The agreement was made because the issue of hazardous busing deals with issues that are not controlled by the school district, including road conditions.
The council will discuss paying $272,584 for the 2011-2012 school year.
Also at Thursday's council meeting, the township will discuss a proposed ordinance concerning setting code for placing emergency generators at homes.
The council will also consider the approval of resolutions to apply for grants for certain road improvement projects.
The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the municipal complex.

Chuck Douglas: In NH, the attack of the constitutional illiterates
Because Kimball and Reps. Al Baldasaro, John Hikel and Lenette Peterson disagree with the legislators who voted in favor of House Bill 135, which would repeal the state's "stand your ground"law, the 189 accused legislators are apparently breaching the public trust of the people of New Hampshire. Kimball and Hikel have filed petitions or criminal complaints with the U.S. Attorney for New Hampshire and with two county sheriffs claiming that these legislators are violating their oath of office and should be removed from office.
Because Kimball and many of his acolytes have no understanding of the New Hampshire Constitution, I thought it was worth talking about why this type of childishness is a waste of everyone's time.
First of all, Part I, Article 38 of the constitution does not create a cause of action in court or a criminal violation if a legislator were not to be "moderate, temperate, industrious and frugal," among other things. The language of Article 38 is what is called "precatory language" and is not meant to be enforced by the unelected third branch of government.
In fact, those in the Tea Party movement are correct when they say that the courts overstepped their bounds when the Claremont decision came down several years ago. What I do not understand is why they would want to compound judicial overreaching by now asking the courts to become involved in deciding a criminal case alleging legislators have violated the "fundamental principles" of the state constitution.
Having served in all three branches of government, I have strong aversion to an unelected branch sitting in judgment on whether people in the legislative branch have violated the standardless "fundamental principles of the Constitution." Sometimes laws are held to be unconstitutional by the courts as part of a litigated case. But that is a far cry from saying that sitting legislators will somehow be subject to judicial involvement in how they vote on the floor of the House.
As with many issues, you win some and you lose some. In fact, the bill to repeal the "stand your ground" law probably will not pass in the Senate anyway, making this whole effort a further waste of time.
Crimes are prosecuted in a court. Does the Tea Party really think that unelected judges should be deciding when legislators, on an individual basis, violate the constitution? That is such a huge power grab to turn over to the judiciary that I would think Kimball and his friends would want to rethink that mission very quickly.
Yes, the House has the power to control its membership under certain circumstances, but not under the circumstances in which one group of representatives merely disagrees with how another group voted on a particular bill. If it were otherwise, every losing vote would result in some kind of a constitutional petition to throw out everyone who voted the other way.
That is not the way a republican system works in the Anglo-American tradition.
Our New Hampshire Constitution has served us well for the 200 years before Jack Kimball and the three legislators misread it.
It is a shame that we do not have a GED program for constitutional literacy. Pulling bits and pieces out of the constitution to create criminal charges reflects gross constitutional illiteracy, not an attempt at good government. It is this type of craziness that cost 120 Republican seats in the House last year.
It is also embarrassing to my party and to the state.
Chuck Douglas, a Republican, is an attorney in Concord. He has served as a state superior and Supreme Court justice, legal counsel to the governor, and a member of Congress from New Hampshire.

In Archie Meets Glee Pt. 2 Dilton tries to explain to the miss-matched group in Lima, Ohio, what has happened to them. He explains that because of an accident, their two groups were jumbled together and spat out in the wrong universes. The problem is to fix this mix-up, it may take MONTHS?!! Yup, months.
The catch? NO ONE is permitted to "disrupt the balance between" the two universes. And What exactly does that mean? Dilton explains that until things get "untangled" that the group should make as few ripples as possible, preventing a "Butterfly effect". During this explanation in the "Glee-verse", Brittany tries to explain the exact same thing to the group in Riverdale, with much less eloquence.
With them stuck in mixed universes, Puckerman decides to make moves on Betty, Kevin & Blaine are both relieved that they are gay, and Rachel throws a temper tantrum because she's not getting what she wants; i.e. Regionals rehearsal, random bursting into song, lack of Finn.
Just then two of the Riverdale jocks, Chuck and Moose, come in with an explanation.
Moose and I were playing football. Our ball crashed into Dilton's lab. Based on the busted-up machine we found there, I think we're dealing with a parallel universe kind of situation here.
At this point Chuck makes comic book reference and then tells people to Google it ("…since Barry Allen met Jay Garrick!") Chuck goes on to explain that based on every "multiple Earth story he's ever read", they can assume that things are the same on Dilton's side of the universes; i.e. The Butterfly Effect. So now both groups have been warned not to make ripples.
Chuck decides to introduce the Riverdale group to Mr. Weatherby and sign them up for classes while they are there. Archie asks Rachel to audition for The Archies. Rachel impresses Archie and Kevin, until Blaine auditions too. Kevin's in love, until Kurt is mentioned. Ah well….Mercedes then auditions and brings Kevin to tears.
Impressed by their new secret weapons, The Archies are unaware that the Josie and the Pussycats' manager is spying on them. He's called the girls into his office to inform them that they will be crushed at the Battle of the Bands with The Archies new singers, but he wants Mercedes for the Pussycats' world tour launch.
Back at McKinley Jughead has had the unfortunate experience of encountering Coach Sue and she wants his crown removed. Sue doesn't believe that his real name is Jughead Jones and this infuriates her. Artie anbd Dilton overhear this screaming fit from Sue and Dilton realizes that if Jughead removes his crown, that would be a ripple that may change things. He runs to help and tries to explain the situation to Sue, only to have Jughead sneak away while she is distracted.
Artie and Dilton go back to work on the Teleporter Porter and while talking they realize that the biggest concern to their universes is if anyone in the groups decides to kiss someone from the wrong group; i.e. Veronica kisses Finn or Puckerman kisses Betty. EEK! The two-some manages to stop Finn's kiss with Veronica, but will they get to Betty and Puck in time to prevent a disaster?
Check in for part 3 later to find out.

It would be natural to look at the volume of housing being developed in downtown Davenport and infer some coordinated process or a major new incentive program. Roughly 300 market-rate apartments are either recently finished or in the development process.
There's undoubtedly a trend here. The Downtown Davenport Partnership – part of the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce – noted in its strategic plan from earlier this year that "nearly 100,000 square feet of office space is currently planned for conversion to residential units."
That includes 11 different projects from seven different developers.
And while the Downtown Davenport Partnership has been a key player, its director – Kyle Carter – said his organization's role has been to "help guide that process. Not own it, guide it. ...
"We always give advice when these developers are shopping," he said. "But the vast majority of those plans are developer-driven. If anything, I'm the tour guide. I'm the guy that is showing the buffet of options down here. So I will certainly push for projects that I think are more catalytic, or locations that will have bigger benefits for the whole down here."
In other words, local government, a downtown organization, or a plan with the scale or taxpayer cost of River Renaissance isn't behind this housing boom. It's largely happening on its own.

In an interview promoting his 2007 lecture at the Figge Art Museum, urban planner Jeff Speck promised that his ideas would be "controversial." He explained to me that "most cities, for better or for worse, are being designed by their public-works departments, who state as the highest objective the free flow of automobiles."
Three years later, the City of Davenport is on the cusp of approving a 10-year comprehensive transportation plan called "Davenport in Motion" that draws from the philosophy Speck promotes. The shock is that it's barely controversial at all.

The meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, has been described as the beginning of a master-planning process for Lindsay Park, with the potential impact to spill over into the Village of East Davenport. Darrin Nordahl, of the City of Davenport's Design Center, described the process as "very long and involved" and said he envisioned meetings to the end of the year.
But for many opponents of shifting the use of some park land - largely for parking for Village businesses - the process already appears well underway.

Put Down the Remote, Pick Up the Mouse Videos from April 29 Commentary
Over 500 people gathered from Noon to 2pm in downtown Davenport, IA as part of the nationwide
protests against excessive government spending and what many perceive as threats to citizens'
rights as guaranteed by the US Constitution. This video includes seven interviews with protest attendees
including an 11 year old whose sign read, "Even an 11 year old knows Obama is wrong." When asked
what Obama was wrong about, the young person replied that taking money from those that work
and giving it to those that do not work.
One protester carrying a sign that read "Democrats are spending our grandchildren's future."
He is asked what he would say to critics that point out the Republicans spend just as wildly when
they were the majority. One protester claims that Obama is a puppet of the Bildeberg Group,
Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations, and that Americans who
voted for him have been "bamboozled."

Navy SEALS tragedy inspired Brad Keselowski NASCAR win at Pocono (video)
Aug 8, 2011, 5:50 PM EDT
Unless you're currently throwing a brick in the London riots, or are a member of Congress, you're probably weary of all the bad news in the world. You'd like something inspirational to lift your sagging spirits? Then just listen to NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, who said that he persevered through injury to win the Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday due to the sacrifice made by the Navy SEAL team which was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan recently.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
"I do have a cousin in the Navy SEALS, and one of the guys that died over there was someone he knew and was friends with … it kind of put things in perspective. Uh, you know, I might not be feeling great, but those are the guys who are really making sacrifices. We're just race car drivers, we're not curing cancer or over there saving the world like those guys are."
Go ahead, I dare you not to root for Brad Keselowski from now on. Well stated, sir.

I thought his interview came off really weird.
So how does it feel to win?
I'm no hero. The troops who died overseas are the true heros. I just drive racecares.
When did anyone call you a hero? It was a very weird interview. He sadi "I'm no hero" to anyone who would listen, and it would come out of no where.
- cavredleg15 - Aug 10, 2011 at 2:05 AM
He was told by the interviewer after getting out of the car in victory circle that (paraphrasing) racing with a broken ankle was 'heroic'. This interview is edited and you don't hear the question he is responding to.

(NECN) - There has been a major shake-up at the National Security Agency, months after its controversial surveillance programs came to light.
An intelligence official confirms that Agency Director Army General Keith Alexander and a top deputy will be leaving over the next six months.
That official stressed neither were being pushed out of their positions.
Alexander defended the agency's programs multiple times in congressional hearings, after former analyst Edward Snowden revealed those programs were used to spy and collect data on people.

NLLInsider.com Girl of the Week: It's Dana of the Calgary Roughnecks
It's Thursday and that means we have another NLLInsider.com Girl of the Week. Since Canada just finished hosting the Winter Olympics and their hockey team took gold, I thought I'd feature Dana, the captain of the Calgary Roughneck's Drill Crew and a native syrup-drinking Canadian. Listen, Canada can have their hockey trinkets and they can keep their free health care, but I want Dana in the United States pronto. Somebody call the Queen or Gretzky or Nickleback, whoever makes the decisions up there and let's trade make a trade before it's too late. She's hip, intelligent and one of the the sexiest Girl of the Week picks we've had thus far, so you guys are in for a treat. Enjoy the pictures and interview; I'm getting on the horn and working on Dana's immigration status.
Insider: What do you love most about Calgary and the Roughnecks?
Dana: Calgary has been home for me for 25 years, I absolutely love the booming city and endless opportunities I've been given. This is my 8th season with the Roughnecks (Wow I'm getting old!) and it's just like we're a big family. We got a ton of support from the organization and fans, every season gets better and better.
Insider: Are you guys still celebrating that hockey game you guys won?
Dana: Yes Canadians pride themselves on hockey! It was a great game and the energy afterwards was just wild. Just like 6 years ago when the flames made it to the Stanley cup playoffs the whole city was involved.
Insider: How did you get where you are today?
Dana: Where do I begin? I'm a very driven ambitious individual with a lot of support from my family and friends. I'm one of those people who is constantly on the go, my schedule is jam packed and always has been.
Insider: What do you enjoy about NLL lacrosse?
Dana: It's rough, entertaining and exciting
Insider: Do you like hard-hitting defense or tic-tac-toe offense?
Dana: I'd say offense. Its pretty exciting anticipating a goal.
Insider: Do you have a favorite player?
Dana: No but definitely enjoy watching the guys who have been with the team for a while….Mcbride, Kelusky, Toth.
Insider: What do you do outside of dancing?
Dana: I'm a financial advisor by day, and the Drill Crew Director every other moment I have, which keeps me pretty busy otherwise, always something to do on the go.
Insider: Any good stock tips?
Dana: Umm…talk to a stockbroker! Not my area of expertise as I deal with mutual funds. But in my opinion I would say its a great time to invest!
Insider: If you could have a super-power, what would it be and why?
Dana: I'd like to teleport places, it would be genius. No long plane rides the world would be my Oyster!
Insider: Ah, everyone says flying, and you finally out-smarted them and went right to the teleporting.
Dana: Not just a pretty face!
Insider: Worst pick up line you ever heard?
Dana: Geez, pick up lines are cheese-ball moves that I'm definitely not into.
Insider: Best pick up line you ever heard?
Dana: No such thing
Insider: So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you love pick-up lines.
Dana: Pick up lines are basically pre-meditated thoughts of what you believe will win a woman over. It feels really unnatural and awkward! I just like naturally funny people who don't try to hard.
Insider: What can a guy do to get noticed?
Dana: Be real, be funny. Funny gets big points! I love to laugh and have such a good time.
Insider: Any pets?
Dana: A cat named Sunny but she stays at my parents house so not quite. Don't think Im home enough to have a pet.
Insider: Favorite Book?
Dana: Regretfully, I'm not a huge reader unless I'm on vacation, but right now I'm into some really interesting financial book that would probably bore most people.
Insider: Favorite Movie?
Dana: Elf continuously makes me laugh. Really anything with Will Ferrell is a solid deal. Hang over is pretty funny too.
Insider: What kind of Canadian trouble would you get yourself into if you went to Vegas with your dance crew?
Dana: Umm….. Guess I didn't mention that we're headed to Orlando in two weeks. 14 of us are going to the dance at the game out there against the Titans and to check out the city and what not. I can imagine we'll get into some trouble… "What happens in Orlando stays in orlando?"
Insider: Favorite Food?
Dana: I love to be wined and dined! Sushi, sandwiches, Viet, late night Singnapore Sams (If you ever come to Calgary I recommend it!)
Insider: Sounds like you like some kick in your food, are you a hot sauce on everything kind of girl?
Dana: Yes love hot sauce!
Insider: Favorite TV show as a kid?
Dana: I was a big fan of Beverly Hills and the TGIF line up…..Step by Step, Boy meets world…etc
Insider: Now that you've matured, how appealing is a guy living in a van in his step-parent's driveway? I don't have a van, per se, but I do have a very spacious driveway for my box truck/bedroom.
Dana: Well I do have some standards! Although you might question that looking at some of my past relationships…haha, just kidding.
Insider: Dream vacation and/or best trip you've been on?
Dana: Got a couple of epic trips, when I graduated university last year one of my best friends and I went to Mexico and had a blast. Another one last year, for my birthday, was on Shuswap Lake with a great group of people, time of my life! Hot weather, boats and laughs, what more can you ask for?
Insider: Best date you've ever been on? hmm….. that's a tough one. Nothing standing out too much, Probably the usual…..nice dinner, good bottle of wine etc.

"Gunner Joe" has been resurrected. For readers who are too young, this was Sen. Joe McCarthy, who crusaded on the "red scare."
I'll admit my belief in him until taken to task for the mass destruction he did. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale was asked to pray for the senators; his answer was, "No, I look at the senators and pray for the country." Today the majority of the representatives of government are now cowed into fear and dare not speak anything but "political correctness." Who can blame them, it's self preservation, like in the days of "Gunner Joe." Misspeak and you lose your job. Far better to follow "Big Brother's speak" or risk the wrath of the news media.
Remember the Miss U.S.A. beauty pageant, where a so-called judge asked a so-called question. What a joke. He gave a speech about same-sex marriage and wanted the contestant to fully agree. When she unwisely answered without political correctness, "No, marriage is between a man and a woman," the judge resorted to calling her the "B" word.
Now a business family is under full attack. They have religious views and follow these; they honor the Sabbath and stayed closed on Sunday, cost them a lot of revenue. They too misspoke failing to observe "political correctness" that in their belief marriage is a union between a man and woman.
Now they are demonized in the press with political cartoon, a mayor said they were not welcome in his city; you see he wants to keep his job as mayor. He is terrified and cowered like so many. This is "Gunner Joe" at his best, which is the worst for us, fear dominates and freedom of speech is trampled upon. Political correctness has run amok.
It is basically no one's business how a person chooses to live his life within lawful actions. But no certain group should be able to direct anyone else in their beliefs! When society must live in such fear that the news media can ridicule anyone who expresses his stance, this is the season for "Gunner Joe."

Sugar Houses in Western MA
It's that time of year, and our first sugaring-off season living in the Pioneer Valley.
Chowhounds, what are your favorite sugar houses, and how do you suggest best to visit them? (i.e., breakfast or brunch or lunch, strictly pancakes, weekends only or weekdays, etc?) TIA ---
Yum!!! Can't wait. The two sugar shacks that we visit each year are South Face Farm in Ashfield and Steve's in Westhampton. We like South Face because of the location....it's about 30 minutes from us (in Florence) so it truly seems like an outing. They have corn fritters that are so good with syrup. My husband and the girls get pancakes, but I usually get eggs. I'm not a "sweets for breakfast" person. We go early, aiming for arrival at 8-8:30.
For Steve's, it is full of locals and as my husband teaches in the district, he tends to see students and coworkers, which makes it nice. Truly, I don't think you can go wrong!! Have fun!
give yourself a real treat and go to Davenport's in SHelburne. Head and shoulders above all the others.
re: magiesmom
davenport's is, indeed, aces. cleaning up, i just found one of their fliers from '94 when they were open 6 days a weeks and for dinner as well. now, however, they are only open march + early april, and only on weekends. and the line gets pretty long if you get there after 9:00 AM. so start early.

Better than a trade for GagneBy
So Eric Gagne blew two games this weekend against the Orioles. Meanwhile, the Yanks took the season series from a very passive Cleveland Indians team. The Yanks find themselves just four games out (and with a better Pythogorean record than the Red Sox). So the Yanks are arguably a better team right now. I think they can find a way to overcome a four-game deficit before the end of September. Time for a great pennant race.
9 Comments»
Everytime Gagne takes the mound he makes Cashman look like a genius.
everytime cashman promotes the correct young player he looks like a genius. everytime he rushes a chase wright, or spends a few mill on minkewrerweqricz he looks like an idiot. but right now, he looks golden
how was chase wright "rushed"?
he's 24. he won his first game, got bombed in his second, and then was history. 1-1, big deal.
who should they have called up at that point?
he cant be an idiot for playing no-risk players. he looks like an idiot when he signs pavano and igawa. i'd rather he rush chase wright than trade for tim redding like he (maybe not him, but the team) did in 2005. and steve, wright was rushed (only threw 14 innings in AA), but they didnt have a choice for another starter at that point.
Yanks needed a starter after '04, and Pavano was the best guy available. Don't forget how hard Detroit, Boston, and others went after him. Yeah, it was a mistake, and Cash should get blamed, but I don't think it's as much of a no-brainer as most people see it as.
Igawa, yeah, he seriously dropped the ball there.
Im thrilled we didnt break the bank for Gagne. I think I posted that I didnt mind if it was Marquez or something, and even that was alot, albeit not as bad as a blue chip kid.
Can you imagine how horrible it would look to have seen Joba or Ian Kennedy pitching for the Rangers this/next year? Happy that Cashman stuck to his gut feeling. We are better without Gagne.
"If you were reading this blog at the time, you'd know the answer to that: Phil Hughes."
ok, but how would that have not been "rushing" Hughes?
Wright is 24. Hughes is 21.
i am not arguing that Wright was the BEST choice. i am merely saying he wasn't "rushed".
he wasn't rushed because he is not a prospect. he is organizational filler. he is the guy you call up in an emergency b/c you are worried about rushing your REAL prospects.
he pitched 2 games and won 1 of them. exactly like Hughes did in his first 2 starts.
i'm not saying Cashman is above criticism, this just seems like a silly point to rip him for. Wright was on the 40 man. it made sense at the time b/c they thought it was only going to be 1 start.
Is it me or do things feel right for this year. The team actually is looking complete out there.

Everyone Who Seeks Finds
(En Español)
It is not hard to recognize one who has spent extended time at a newsstand: his conversation overflows with the drama of current affairs. And it is not hard to discern a person who has come from a sporting event, as their face reveals the outcome of the game. Likewise, people can tell when an individual has spent extended time seeking God. An imperturbable calm guards their heart, and their countenance is radiant with light, as with the morning dew of Heaven.
Beloved, to seek and find God is everything.
The Eternal Imprint
It is to our shame that, in our era, church services do not focus more on actually seeking God. Yes, we do honor God and thank Him for what He has done. We sing and hear a sermon and, perhaps, enjoy a time of fellowship with others. Yet only rarely do we depart a congregational meeting with the fire of eternity reflecting off our faces. Instead, we fill up with information about God without actually drawing near to Him. Most of us are still largely unaware of God's presence.
Continuation of this message

Revelation Perception at the Throne of God
An Israelite Indeed
A Place for Him to Rest
God asks for nothing but ourselves.
Our beautiful church buildings,
our slick professionalism,
all are peripheral to the vision of God.
The Most High does not want what we have;
He wants who we are.
He seeks to create in our hearts
a sanctuary for Himself,
a place where He may rest.
— Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God
Israel: Recent kidnappings and murders have awakened outrage and violence in both Israeli and Muslim communities. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and peace with Israel's neighbors.
Iraq: Large cities are being taken over by Al-Queda. Chaos is spreading. The nation needs prayer.
Ukraine: The nation is in upheaval as the majority of the people want to realign with Europe and the United States, while their eastern provinces are Russian people that identify with Russia, and want to secede from the Ukraine. Pray that a peaceful settlement will be established.
Korea: Pray for reconciliation to come to North and South Korea and an openness to work toward true peace.
Syria: over 100,000 people killed and millions displaced by civil war. The war is complicated by the fact that radical Islamists have united with the rebels against Assad.
United States: Pray for revival and a return to biblical values. If America experiences a genuine awakening, the impact will truly change the world.

The Lord said that His house would be called a house of prayer for all nations. At the center of the Lord's house, in the holiest place, is the mercy seat, where redemption for a sinful and suffering world is released through prayer. Your view that your culture is very corrupt may be precisely right. However, God tells us that He is looking for a man or woman who will intercede and stand in the gap for their people.
Every night my wife and I pray for our family, our friends and neighbors. We also pray for our community and America, our nation. We intercede for Israel but also for the Muslim world – especially where people are being destroyed by wars or oppressive regimes. We pray for people devastated by natural disasters, famines and poverty as well as those enslaved by human trafficking, drug addictions and gang violence. We also pray for reconciliation between North and South Korea and for revival to strike the Philippines (the largest Christian nation in Asia).
We believe that God does not want us to worry about the future, but to create the future by prayer. Will you join us?

A proposed 1 percent hike in the county hotel/motel tax and concerns from a county resident that an application to rezone his U.S. 411 South property was wrongly denied were the most discussed items during the Dec. 9 commission workshop.
Herb Handly, vice president of the Smoky Mountain Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the proposal that will be discussed in the commission meeting is to raise the hotel/motel tax by 1 percent to 5 percent and dedicate those funds to buying 32 acres adjacent to the Visitor's Center property in Townsend. "It's the last piece of large tract of land in Townsend."
Handly said there have been suggestions from the community about how to develop the land but that the bureau wanted it to be something that would maintain the rural character of the area and also provide an economic impact for the community. "One possibility could be a fair ground, one suggestion an equestrian venue, one idea was to have an arts community," he said.
Tom Talley said his parents started the Tally Ho Inn in Townsend, he and his wife operated it and now his children manage it now. "I feel this tax increase is going to damage our business significantly. It puts us in a competitive situation that's not very tenable, especially with Sevier County, who has a 3 percent hotel/motel tax," he said.
Talley said he realized other cities' hotel/motel taxes are going to come up in discussions. "Several cities have 5 percent hotel/motel taxes but most rely on commercial traffic where people put their extra 5 percent and deduct it at the end of the year," he said. "Better than 90 percent of our business comes from mom and pop and kids here to vacation. These people are very budget conscious. Be aware of that, you're not dealing with travelers willing to pull 5 percent out of their pocket."
Don Headrick, co-owner Highland Manor Inn asked that commissioners consider the burden they put on hotel/motel owners in the county when they raise the hotel/motel tax. "This is a very competitive business. Like my wife just said, we've been in business 20- something years. People ask what taxes are before they buy the room," he said. "We can't finance county government. This is supposed to be a stimulus tax and stimulate economy, not support county as a whole."
During input for items not on the agenda near the end of the workshop, Jesus Yanez told commissioners he has lived in Blount County since 1993 and owned property at 4427 U.S. Highway 411 South for seven years. In May of 2007, he said he appeared for rezoning of the property and commissioners denied it.
"In September, my next door neighbor, you approved his application. I really feel my application has not been treated fairly. I'd like to ask you to maybe reconsider your decision. I've been talking with Mr. Fields. He wasn't able to explain why you made a different decision on my neighbor's property. I really feel my application hasn't been treated fair," he said.
Yanez said his neighbors at 4421 U.S. 411 South are Terry and Diana Landers. Commissioner Kenneth Melton asked Roger Fields with Blount County Planning to address the situation. "It came from planning with a recommendation not to approve," he said.
Commissioner Ron French asked him to report back to the commission with information from the file about why the rezoning was denied.
"Mr. Fields, I wonder if you could provide us with information regarding this piece of property and the Landers piece of property," French said. "I'd like to look at the process the planning commission used and see what separates these two pieces of property where one was approved and one wasn't."
Yanez said he submitted an application to be rezoned from R-1 to RAC in May of 2007 and was turned down. Fields said commercial zoning is "wide open" in terms of what can be opened and RAC is a Rural Arterial Corridor is more restricted. "It's designed for arteries that run out beyond urban growth boundaries," he said.
Both items will be on the agenda at the Dec. 18 County Commission meeting.

French Canadians who learn English later in life frequently have problems differentiating between plurals and singulars and also have consistent problems with prepositions. As someone who grew up watching a ton of pro wrestling, listening to the interviews of more French Canadians than any of you could count, I can personally vouch for that.

Sleep Study
|February 6, 2013
|Posted by Toddling Mad under A mum's life, Sleep
Back in January we went to the out of hours Doctor with T overnight as she was struggling to breath in her sleep, her stomach was working hard and she was wheezing from the out of hours doctor we were taken by ambulance to hospital and there given a bed for the night to keep an eye on her and see what was going on. During the routine observations a nurse looked worried and they hooked her up to a oxygen saturation monitor all night it kept buzzing and beeping as her oxygen level dropped to the low 70′s and 60′s% over and over again.
T's sleep has never been great but from what the dr's explained it seemed that there could be a reason for it her tonsils were huge and causing an obstruction to her breathing as well as other possibilities which we will face as and when the results come back. To justify the removal of tonsils there needs to be a sleep study conducted that shows that there is a real need. She snores… I mean old man snores from a little thing and struggles so we were booked in for a sleep study.
This week we went in overnight for the sleep study. T and I waited for a nurse to come and hook her up – she would need 3 ECG pads, 2 straps to monitor thorax and abdomen body movements plus a saturation monitor and if we could get it on a nasal sensor as well.
When she was hooked up we then had trouble getting her to sleep 3 hours past her bedtime was not a good idea with a different environment as well. Eventually she fell asleep and was monitored and filmed all night. From 3 to 4 she attacked the wires but we managed to keep them on.
Now we just play a waiting game to find out the results – we have an appointment on the 20th March and if we don't hear before then it's good as it's not too serious… but for now we wait and I don't sleep as I keep checking on her and how she is doing.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAVERHILL — City police officers will provide extra security at a weekend-long party starting tonight at Kimball Farm that includes overnight camping, a live concert and a series of "military-style" obstacle courses featuring fire pits and mud mountains.
Organizers said they expect several thousand people and up to 1,000 automobiles to converge on the eight-acre East Broadway farm for an event called Rebel Race, which has happened is various places around the country.
"The Rebel Race Series is designed for people feeling the urge to tackle intense obstacles,'' reads promotional material on the race's website.
Contestants and spectators have been invited to rent camp sites for the weekend and enjoy a beer and wine bar on the property from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow. The cross-country races are all day tomorrow and Sunday.
"Rebel Race is a weekend getaway for athletes who want to run a military-style 5k or 15k and then party like there's no tomorrow," according to the event's website, which says recent events have been held in Maryland, Indiana, Dallas and New York.
"From start to finish, Rebel Race's military obstacles will have you barricade-climbing, mud-crawling, rope-swinging and fire-jumping," the promotional material reads. "Cross the finish line and bask in the glory of tons of beer, food, live entertainment and many new friends covered in mud."
Kimball Farm is located at the rural east end of Haverhill, at the edge of the historic Rocks Village area.
Other than three detail officers, police Chief Alan DeNaro said his department has not taken any special precautions for the event because it is on private property.
"We have three detail officers that will respond to any situation that arises and a full complement of police and fire officers on duty," DeNaro said in an email to The Eagle-Tribune. "We will be present to make sure everyone is safe."
Mayor James Fiorentini said he asked police to keep a "close eye" on the event and to take "whatever action is necessary to make certain that the public and neighbors are protected."
"After the event, we will evaluate so that our involvement in future events can be handled more efficiently," the mayor said.
Tyler Kimball, a veteran Haverhill firefighter and the local farmer hosting the event, said he'll be monitoring activity on his property closely to make sure there are no problems.
"I have to make sure this goes well because we don't want to ruin it for anyone else who wants to do something like this in Haverhill in the future," Kimball said yesterday. "Everything is ready to go. It's going to be a great time for everyone and believe me, there aren't going to be any problems."
Kimball said there is easily room on his farm for 1,000 cars and that the nearest homes are a good distance from the camping and entertainment areas. He said he anticipates at least 150 people camping in tents in a field on his property tonight and tomorrow. He said drinking of alcohol will be limited to a one-acre area in the southwest corner of the property.
Kimball said he will also offer other activities on his farm for event participants and the general public tonight and tomorrow, including a corn maze and haunted hayride.
Police Sgt. Dana Burrill said the department's concerns about the event focus on the camping, parking, noise and other potential impacts to neighbors. In light of those concerns, the License Commission ordered several conditions on the event, including that parking is prohibited on East Broadway, that all music stop by 6 p.m. Saturday, and that organizers hire the three city police officers to augment their own security efforts.
City officials have also warned organizers that providing free alcohol drinks to runners — as is advertised in the event's promotional material — is illegal. They also asked organizers to make sure contestants don't leave muddy and torn clothes and other discarded items behind on public property near race sites, which has reportedly happened where other Rebel Race events have been held.
Joseph Edwards, the city's License Commission chairman, said his board relied on Kimball's "excellent reputation" when it approved the event and one-day alcohol license.
Amit Nar of Pennsylvania is listed as the applicant for the event on behalf of Rebel Race LLC.
Racing on Saturday and Sunday will be in waves of up to 500 runners throughout the day starting at 9:30 a.m., according to organizers.
Twenty-two obstacles along the 3.1- and 9.3-mile treks feature names such as Slimy Slope Slide, Ninja Turtle Sewer (a scramble through tunnels), Lunatic Lagoon Military Mud pit, Flaming Fury (leap over fire) and Hell in the Himalayas (climb over a mountain of mud).
Walls, nets, ropes, water, fire, mounds of hay and lots of mud are among the obstacles participants must go around, over or through, according to promotional information.
Trophies and prizes are up for grabs in a variety of male, female and youth categories. Anyone 11 or older is welcome to compete, according to the rules.
Kimball and Nar have told the city all runners will be off the farm property an hour after the last race at 5 p.m. Sunday.
