A good sports bar.
I have described elsewhere on this page how I literally only spent a couple of hours in Holyhead whilst going to and coming from Dublin on the ferry. Having sampled two other hostelries in the town, one pretty good and one simply awful, I decided to visit a seperate place on the return journey, purely in the interests of VT research you understand.
I picked Bar 79 on a whim and it turned out to be a good choice. A clean and tidy bar with a good selection of real ales,many local, and a very obvious sports theme. There were several big screens showing sports channels. The service was quick and I sat down on a comfortable bench seat to watch the football results, it being a Saturday evening. Well, a winter Saturday in Wales means only one thing and that is rugby and the local rugby club duly appeared. The place had been lively enough before but it was absolutely bouncing when this lot turned up. In stark contrast to the Geroge where I had felt vaguely uncomfortable on a Friday lunchtime, there was absolutely no sense of menace here. The lads were very well behaved if noisy and I ended up in a rugby conversatio with a couple of them. Great fun.
OK, this place may not be to everybody's taste but if you like your sports in a comfy and welcoming bar, give it a go.

I'd give this a miss.
On another tip on this page I have described how I was left with a couple of hours on my hands in Holyhead due to the cancellation of my ferry by a Force 8 gale that was howling at the time. I had had a drink and a snack in a rather nice little pub called Gleeson's and, having some time left thought I'd try another hostelry, just for the purposes of comparison, you understand!
I happened by chance upon the George Hotel and decided I would try a pint there. As the image shows, it looks great from the outside, so in I went. I'd probably have been better admiring the exterior. this was a weekday lunchtime in filthy weather in November and yet the place was very full. Dance music was blaring from a jukebox at almost ear splitting volume. I went to the bar and was promptly ignored by the bar staff. When they eventually deigned to serve me the service was, how shall I put this, surly.
People were shouting all over the place, probably to be heard above the din and the pool table seemed to be the centre of attention. Shame the people playing appeared to be on the brink of physical violence towars each other. This place is what is described as "a rough house" where I come from, I really didn't like it. Give it a miss.

A decent little pub.
Finding myself with a couple of hours to spare in Holyhead following the weather cancellation of my ferry, I decided to have a brief wander round the town. I have mentioned the weather and it was foul, a Force 8 gale howling and an icy rain coming in sideways. Hardly surprising then that I decided to forego the other pleasures of the town and find a place for a quiet pint. It was still pre-lunch and not all were open so I was glad to see light on in Gleeson's. I wandered in and enquired whether they were open and the friendly lady behind the bar took a look at my slightly bedraggled and windswept appearance and took pity on me. I am not sure whether they were actually open or not but I was very grateful.
Having secured my pint, I had a bit of a look round. It is a pleasant little place with a vaguely Irish theme as the name may suggest. There was a newspaper on the bar and music playing quietly. People came and went and it is obviously a vey locals type of bar. I had heard stories, probably apocryphal, of the North Welsh being a bit funny about outsiders and reverting to the Welsh language when English speakers are present. I found no such behaviour here and ended up engaged in conversation with several friendly locals.
Feeling a bit peckish i enquired about food. There was no kitchen as such but a good selection of filled rolls at £1:50 each. The cheese and red onion pictured certainly filled a hole, simple but tasty.
There is nothing remarkable about Gleeson's but it is a decent, friendly pub so just my kind of place really.

Trefignath Burial Chamber
The Trefignath Burial Chamber is over 6,000 years old and is located between Holyhead and Trearddur Bay.
This impressive monument has recently been excavated. It is a Neolithic chambered tomb constructed in three phases, estimated to be from the 4th to early 3rd millenium BC. The first phase was at the western end of the tomb, that would have been covered with a circular cairn. The next chamber was a rectangular chamber with two stones marking the entrance. The eastern chamber was the final phase with it's dramatic entrance stones. The long cairn was extended to cover the new chamber. This last addition was dated by late Neolithic pottery of southern English type left as offerings at the entrance. There was some interest in the tomb in the Iron Age when a pit was dug at the east end.

Newry Beach
NEWRY BEACH in HOLYHEAD is very pretty, and just minutes walk from the disappointing shopping area, and the Port/Train station. There is a tourist train there from June to October which runs every hour, taking trips along the promenade out along the break water and to the country park.
This is where the HOLY ISLAND FESTIVAL takes place each year. Also located in Newry Beach are the Maritime Museum, the Sailing Club and Marina and the Boat House hotel and restaurant.
Holyhead Marina
Holyhead or Holy Island Marina is located on the north west tip of Wales which is itself part of the Isle of Anglesey. The marina is protected by 24 hour cctv, covering all marina berths and the harbour.
Holyhead and the island of Anglesey have hundreds of miles of amazing coastline with fabulous award winning beaches. It is a sailor's paradise.

The delights of Holyhead
Right...got a couple of hours to waste when you have missed a ferry ? I suggested spending the time in Lidl as it would be more interesting than Holyhead. The family decision was made to see what delights the metropolis of Holyhead held.
One motley collection of run-down shops later we stumbled upon the Roman fort. It sits just off the main street and is open to wander about. If anyone in Roman times was posted here then they would realise that they were right at the bottom rung of Roman society. Being sent here meant you would be at the right outer edge of civilization, the Siberia of the ancient world. Not much has changed.
The site area also includes the parish church and a chapel that was converted to Holyhead's first school. The church and the restored school are both supposed to be worth visting, but both (in a useful addition to the local tourist industry) were also firmly locked.
We also saw sighns to the maritime museum, but didn't get time to visit. I believ that it covers the history of the port and covers the huge numbers of shipwrecks in the area. Sailors who presumbly would rather allow their ships to be smashed against the rocks rather than have to call into Holyhead port.
Nice big pile to remember the man
I've noticed Skinners monument every time that I passed through the port. It stands proudly on a small hill directly behind the port (presuming you are approaching it from the Irish direction). He was somewhat of a local hero, who amongst other things led an inquiry as to why the steam packets plying from Holyhead to ireland were losing so muchg money and why much of the traffic was tranferring to Liverpool. The goverment agreed with his analysis and agreed to spend money updating ships and facilities on the route.
It cxame too late for Skinner, who was knocked off steam packet by a massive wave. His body wasn't recovered for several weeks. Locals suspect that he was found earlier, but his valuable were knicked and he was thrown back into the briony.
Freinds and locals raised the money to remember his life. I guess I ight have helped in this small way too.
The Celtic Gateway
In an effort to give Holyhead a 'landmark' structure and to try and encourage more people to spemd time (and money) in the town of Holyhead itself, rather than just hanging around the ferryport departure lonnge, a footbridge was built to connect the two. It cost some six million plus quid, with the tubular steel being imported from Italy. It is a sad indictment of the state of Welsh heavy industry that they couldn't make it themselves.
It's an impressivly curvey construction, which I thought somehow reminded me of a woman's genitalia. My wife claimed that I must be wrped and must have looked at too many ink-blot tests. I won't tell you my rejoinder.
Either way, an impressive bridge has just one main failing : namely that it delivers you to Holyhead town centre. I think all places look alot better when bathed in spring sunshine. Not Holyhead.

High-Fat Diet Boosts Brain Proteins Linked to Alzheimer's Disease
A high-fat, high-glycemic-index diet increases the concentration of proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published by the American Medical Association. Researchers at the University of Washington assigned 47 older adults, some of whom already had mild cognitive impairment, to either a high-fat, high-GI diet or a low-fat, low-GI diet. Within four weeks, the high-fat diet increased the production of lipid-depleted Aβ, a protein linked to Alzheimer's risk. The low-fat diet had the opposite effect. An accompanying commentary in the journal supports the finding that dietary choices can affect brain chemistry quickly and effectively.

Small, charming, and picturesque vineyard. You can also rent a small 1 room cottage or hold a small event which would be perfect. We loved the wine and bought recurring shipment. I would visit every time I'm in this area.
I love Pinot Noir and this vineyard specializes in Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Had a great tasting of single vineyard wines. Prices were reasonable and like other places, waived the tasting fee for my friend and I after I made one purchase. Also after signing up for the wine club, I received a discount applied to my purchase right away.
My husband and I stayed in the cottage right in the middle of the landmark vineyards. The place is very neatly kept and the visit turned to be a perfect getaway for us. The fog and the drizzle added colors to the gorgeous vineyard. We had searched for a couple of places overlooking the vineyard before booking a reservation here.... More
nice grounds but of the 7 wineries I visited between Napa and Sonoma this was by far my least favorite. The grounds are very nice but for our tasting fee I would have expected the same size pour as the others we visited. Not the case. Barely 1 sip in each pour. Also place was busy and they kept rushing... More
We made a reservation for a sit-down wine and cheese pairing. Even though the wine is a little out of my confort price point, I walked away with two bottles and cannot wait to buy cheese for my next dinner party. Our server was excellent and steered us in different directions based on the likes and dislikes of the four... More
This place hooked us with their pinots last year. We came in for a 6 flight tasting of one of their chards this year and we even rented their guest cottage for 5 days. Sitting on the front porch sipping wine as the sun goes down and the full moon rises. You can't beat the beauty of their grounds and... More
Nice low key winery, beautiful gardens, genuinely friendly people, and, need I add, excellent wine! We are locals, and it is our favorite vineyard around. At the foot of the gorgeous Adobe Canyon Road, with Sugarloaf Park at the other end. Can't have a better Wine Country experience than a nice hike in Sugarloaf's hills and creeks, followed by wine... More
This was our favorite stop in Napa and Sonoma on our recent Labor Day trip! The wine was excellent, the grounds are beautiful and our wine "tour guide" Paul was an absolute pleasure! From the history of the vinyard, to wine tasting notes and pairings, he was fantastic. He also suggested several other wineries and his suggestions topped our list... More
We stayed at the Landmark Vineyard at the end of a month in California. It was a superb setting for our last day and evening. Sonoma is a must see location. Our stay included a tour and tasting, both of which were excellent. Our room was perfect with a stunning area to enjoy our complimentary bottle of wine overlooking the... More
We stayed here for one night and was the perfect base for visiting the local vineyards. Had enjoyed the personal tour and lovely tasting. The room was fantastic, after 5pm we were the only people on the vineyard, we played balls (on our personal court) and walk through the vines. Along with enjoying a bottle of the best Pinot Noir...

Perrion - SuperFly
Artist: Perrion
Producer: Scoop One
Album: From Perry With Love
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 3 votes )
Now that August is almost over, an end to the oppressive heat will surely follow. It is this climate change, with a touch of fall in the air, perfect 65-70 degrees temps and a slight breeze, that marks my favorite time of year. Superfly, a new single from Harlem's own Perrion, is the hip-hop equivalent of the perfect time of year. Producer Scoop One sets the mood on this breezy, feel good cut, concocting a woodwind inspired beat that features a casual drum pattern that feels like the sun shining on your face. For his part, Perrion's laid-back, smooth flow is like the breeze, floating and flexible yet still very rejuvenating, while his witty, chilled-out bars are all you need to feel refreshed and ready for the weekend. Superfly can be found on the artist's fifth mixtape, From Perry With Love, due out September 17.

dovetail vs butt/glue/staple joints?
Has anyone purchased cabinets with butt joints and staples? We've interviewed 4 local cabinet shops that range from they don't do anything but build the base and drawers and then order doors, to 1 that builds his own doors, but none of them do dovetail joints on the drawers.
I would think dovetail joints would be an industry standard in the cabinet business, but apparently not. Even guys in business for 30+ years only do butt/staple joints.
Lowes is really my only other option to get quality drawer joints locally, but the bottom of the drawers seemed very thin, even with upgrades. We liked a mission style Cross Creek by Kraftmaid cabinet there from the Lynchburg collection.
I can't find any other dealers online that carry Cross Creek and am having trouble finding a Kraftmaid style that is comparable. If I can save some money online for quality cabinets and drawers, that would be great.
We haven't even had quotes come back from the local cabinet makers yet, but I don't see us going with stapled drawers when a dovetail jig should be standard equip in a cabinet shop. One guy didn't even use MDF! Said he tried it once and decided to go back to PARTICLE board. I told my husband, "Let's go. I've heard enough" :-)
We had the butt/glue/staple joints in our old kitchen--the cabinets were 20 years old and we never had a problem with them. This has come up before and, although dove tail, is considered better, it seemed to be the consensus of the cabinet maker types that the butt/glue/staple joints will work just fine too. All of the houses in our old subdivision had the same 20 year old butt/glue/staple joint cabinets, and I don't remember one neighbor ever having a problem with them. My new cabinets are dove tail. I was surprised to find with my new dovetail kitchen drawers that the "box" is dovetailed and then the drawer fronts are screwed onto the dove tail box. With my dove tailed furniture, the drawer face itself is what is dovetailed to the sides and I thought the cabinets would be the same way. Even if you get dovetailed kitchen drawers, the drawer face can still become loose, although that would probably be easier to fix than on dovetailed drawers than on butt/glue/staple joints.

Clicgear 3.5+ Push Carts 24 24
The Cadillac of Push carts Clicgear did a great job improving the 3.5 cart. This cart is the Cadillac of golf push carts. Clicgear is more expensive than other carts but the carts are built to last. I finally retired my original 1.0 cart which I gave to a friend that is still pushing it down the fairway everyday. The mesh basket is very handy, this is where I put my headcovers when hitting a shot. The new bag straps are much better too, easier to grab hold of and the straps are adjustable to fit around small or big bags. March 23, 2015
Best golf cart ever!!! I have owned a Clicgear for at least 4 years now and absolutely love it. Directions for set up are easy to follow. It breaks downs easily as well and folds to a very compact position. Easy to transport and easy to use. I love the comfort of the padded handle and the top storage for my tees and golf balls. My golf bag fits securely. It glides easily over the course. I golf at least 3 or 4 times a week. As I said, "Best bag ever!" May 20, 2014
Sweet cart This cart is all function with style thrown in. Easy to fold/unfold (with a bit of practice) and extremely convenient, doesn't take up a lot of space in the trunk. If you walk i would definitely recommend this cart. No more flat tires like my old cart.. *Gave it 4 on durability only because i only have 3 rounds in it so its too early to tell.* October 7, 2013
Good quality, best cart on the market. Good quality, it is a very well made cart. It makes walking more pleasureful and fun. I was walking and carrying my bag previously. It is ore difficult to fold and unfold than I expected. It is the best cart on the market having done exhaustive research before purchasing. August 31, 2013

she is a rengar in the bot lane. if she forces you out of lane even once at the right time and your jungler isn't there to protect the tower, its gone.
yeah she is ridiculous when killing towers
Hm...I don't know, isn't destroying stuff part of her theme?
Dryad Soraka
Same with Jax's passive, it shouldn't work against structures.
Beyond The Pale
Most champions prior to Jinx (aka all of them) don't gets stacks of anything on towers. Jinx is special in that she was the most recently released.
I think she should, I think it's a valid sub-role to be a tower wrecker. If you think she's too strong, nerf the slow on her W.
Furi Kuri
its clearly an intentional feature after they removed cait stacking her passive on towers.

Are Borlotti the same as True or Vermont Cranberry beans?
I am in the process of deciding which beans to order for the summer. I wanted to try Borlotti beans ... can't find them listed anywhere but apparently cranberry beans are the same thing. Is this true? I see both "True Cranberry" and "Vermont Cranberry" ... are either of these the same as Borlotti beans? Both? I'm a little confused with the names :)
I have not grown any cranberry type beans but the pod and seed descriptions are different from the borlotto type beans I have grown. Borlotto pods tend to be bright red.
Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco is a pole bean. Shellies are off white with reddish maroon streaks and are up to 15/16 inch long, plump and oval. This fine bean is a bit late for my part of the PNW.
Borlotto Stregonta is a pole bean. Shellies are dark maroon on tan and they can exceed one inch in length. They are the earliest borlotto type that I grow.
Borlotto Solista is a pole bean. Shellies are maroon on cream and they are the lagest borlotto that I have seen, up to 1 1/8 inch long. They are a bit later than Borlotto Stregonta but I can still save seed even without starting them in pots. - Dick
Does anyone know what BORLOTTI,BORLOTTO or BOLITO mean
BOLITA means pellet in spanish
I have not been able to find out what the others mean
I believe the firt two are Italian.The others may be
Spanish or Portugese
This post was edited by hementia8 on Fri, Jan 11, 13 at 11:01
Thank you for responding ... So I take it that there are lots of different types of Borlotti beans. When people or seed places talk about them, they make them sound like there is only one type. Is there a certain strain that is the most commonly grown?
And I guess that the "true" and "vermont" cranberry are NOT borlotti then? Both have, in certain descriptions, said that they are ... and not said it in others, hence the confusion. I was looking for a really nice shelly bean to try and was suggested Borlotti ... I guess I will be looking at the different Borlotto strains mentioned to see what is available near me.
I am in Toronto, in terms of length of summer. I've never had a problem with dry beans before but I do have problems getting long-season tomatoes or chili peppers to ripen ... I never thought it might be a problem with certain types of beans.
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to naming beans. I agree that some English speaking people consider cranberry beans and borlotti to be the same. Borlotto or borlotti is Italian and it may mean "very large colored shelly or dry beans." I do not know which colored large seed shelly or dry beans would qualify in their minds to be borlotti. Perhaps all of them. I have not seen cranberry beans by name on Italian seed company sites.
If you want to try an early borlotto that produces a large crop of long bright red pods full of quality shellies, Borlotto Stregonta is a good one to start with. If that does well, you could add Borlotto Solista. If you can harvest dry seed with weeks to spare, try Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco. That one is late here but perhaps it is not where summers are warmer. They are all fine beans. - Dick
Dick, the last one you mentioned is listed in the SSE yearbook as a pole snap bean
I did not find a listing for the other two
I amagine it can be used as a shelly also
Vermont Cranberry is bush and True Red Cranberry is pole
I grow both

Hi Charlie,
Yes, I see that Borlotto Linua di Fuoco is listed in the snaps section. Mistakes do happen. Bird Egg #3 is also in the snap section! I got my seed from IL KE D and it is a fine large shelly. It would be a waste to eat the snaps. The snaps would have to be very young to be edible at all.
If you go to the online Yearbook and do a search for "borlotto" you will find both solista and stregonta. Those listing both mention WA LO R as their source. I have stopped offering them now because they do. I try to mainly offer beans with no other source. - Dick
Charlie, the online version is an amazing collection of material. You can look at years of past listings plus all the current stuff. I think you can use your current login info for their website to get into the Yearbook. If not, give them a call. Dick

I'm Sharon Donnelly, the individual noted in the San Francisco Magazine article, and whom you reference in your posting here. I need to clarify for you that the existance of the Healthy San Francisco program did not play a part in my leaving my job in May of 2007. Indeed, the program was not expanded beyond it's initial pilot test until September of 2007. (See this article from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/14/us/14health.html )
I paid for coverage under my former employers' plan, as provided for under COBRA, until my coverage ended in Novermber of 2008. (The San Francisco Magazine article didn't make that clear, though I had told the writer this.)
It was not until Kaiser Permanente declined to provide me with an inurance policy at any price, because of my health history, and my former employers carrier proposed a premium of close to $1500 a month, that I considered Health San Francisco. This was before I turned 50 in May of 2009, or was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July of that same year; I shudder to think what my premium would have been for the 2010 premium year.
Though HSF is a solution to the problem on being uninsured it is far from a complete solution, given its limitations. It does provide access to care and it enables people like me, to recieve care for common chronic conditions (in my case high blood pressure), as well as more serious conditions which, if left untreated, can result in serious illness and unreimbursed care. The care is first rate, with services provided through the citys' public health clinics and San Francisco General Hospital, a teaching hospital for the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine.
Believe me, I'd like to be able to have a traditional insurance plan. In the absence of that, I'm grateful to San Francisco fo or putting this plan together. When I once again have a job, I'll happily pay my premiums, and I'll make volunatary donations to the clinic where I now recieve my care, in hope of helping others in need of care.
Thanks for the chance to clarify

When I lived in Montreal I went to the Adirondacks often for paddling and hiking.
I canoe camped in the Parc Mastigouche, northeast of Montreal and enjoyed it. It seemed like a reasonable drive from Montreal. I guess it's part of La Mauricie national park now.

Learn how easy it is to sync an existing GitHub or Google Code repo to a SourceForge project! See Demo
Hi all
I'm a newbie here but have been playing with Thinstation and came across a
problem that I think is rdesktop related.
We use a logon scripting tool to map printers based on IP address, or more
accurately Terminal Server Client IP.
Now, we're not sure how it gets this information, but it then decides what
printers that RDP client should get based in the IP provided.
The problem is that this works with a standard RDP client on XP to Windows
Server 2003, but not with Thinstation using rdesktop.
I know the info provided above is a bit vague, but has anyone ever tried this
before, or came across the problem and succeeded?
The setup is in the office and I'm at home so I cant do much testing right now,
but I was wondering if the rdesktop command line parameter "-n <hostname>" would
make a difference, even though the rdesktop docs say that it should forward this
info anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we're demoing this tomorrow morning :-)

Check these out, too...
Alone: The Holiday Heist, Finn (Christian Martyn) isn't too thrilled
about spending the holidays in his new home. His fam just relocated from sunny
Cali to Maine…and into a house that he's convinced is haunted. So when Finn's
parents are stranded across town and he's left home alone with his sis Alexis
(Jodelle Ferland), he decides to set up a series of elaborate traps to catch
the "ghost" in action, only to discover a group of thieves along the way.
got a chance to catch up with 18-year-old Jodelle Ferland, who plays Finn's
sis, Alexis, and had her spill all on this latest Home Alone flick. Check it out.
GL: What was your favorite scene to film in Home Alone: The Holiday Heist?
Jodelle: There was this one scene
where Alexis had to confront the thieves that broke into her house. I don't
want to give any of the plot away, but I will say I got to jump over a counter
to escape the thieves. It was awesome!
How do you
think this film will compare to the other Home
Alone movies?
all know it's hard to beat the first Home
Alone movie—it's a classic. But this one comes pretty close! It has all the
same things that made the others popular and it's based on the same concept: a
kid is left home alone and has to fend off thieves who are trying to break into
his house. It's family-friendly, fun, heartwarming, and filled with laughs from
start to finish.
Have a funny on-set memory you can share with us?
Well, actors aren't allowed to do anything dangerous while filming, so we
have stunt doubles for most of our stunts. There was a scene where a Christmas
tree was supposed to fall on me, so I did the beginning of the scene and then
switched out with my stunt double who looked exactly like me from behind. It
was pretty weird to watch because it really looked like it was me! Then, in the
next scene, I had to get covered in pine needles to make it look like a tree
had actually fallen on me. I'm really excited to see how that scene turns out!
If there was one thing you could've taken home from set with you, what would it
have been and why?
Alexis had the coolest wardrobe. There was this really awesome leather bag,
which I loved, and I actually got to keep it!
Be sure to catch Jodelle and the rest of the (new!) Home Alone gang when Home
Alone: the Holiday Heist premieres on ABC Family tomorrow night at 8 p.m.
you pumped for this new Home Alone flick?

Helping Christians to make a difference
Dealing with current Issues
Helping Christian families to make a difference
We've often reported on the increasing frequency of legal complaints made against Christians and others who are prepared to speak the truth!
It's often those who want to shut down debate who make the complaints - and often in the areas of homosexuality and Islam.
We were reminded recently, in Matthew's gospel, that we will be persecuted (Matthew 5: 10-12), and that we will be brought before kings and tribunals – and that the Holy Spirit will give us the words to say (Matthew 10: 16-20).
Here are the latest two legal challenges – both happening here in Australia!
Please pray for wisdom and peace for Bernard, Kirralie and Q Society…
1. Homosexual activist Gary Burns sues Bernard Gaynor
Bernard Gaynor has been outspoken on a range of issues, including the defence forces participating in mardi gras, and Islam (see his website blog and Facebook page).
Bernard wrote about the case taken by homosexual 'discrimination activist' Gary Burns against political candidate, Tess Corbett – where she made comments about homosexuality and pedophilia during an election campaign. Gary Burns has already taken a case against Tess – and won!
Gary is now taking cases against Bernard in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Bernard wrote about the latest development on Facebook recently – his case was heard on January 20, 2015… read Bernard's Facebook post.
2. Halal certifier sues Q Society and Kirralie
We've often written about 'halal certification' of food by Islamic groups and individuals. In essence, a fee is paid by companies to the 'halal certifier' who then provides the company with a certificate to 'guarantee' that the food has been prepared in accordance with Islamic principles – if meat is involved, then it has to be slaughtered according to Islamic rituals of a prayer to Allah and particular killing methods. In recent years we have seen a huge expansion in 'halal certification' in Australia – it has been extended to even certifying packaging and transport!
Halal Choices, run by Kirralie Smith, has monitored and listed the names of companies who have obtained halal certification – and also provides a helpful list of companies who refuse to participate in the halal certification schemes – along with publishing a Shopping Guide
… Visit the Halal Choices website.
… Visit Halal Choices Facebook page.
… Watch the 30 minute presentation at the centre of this complaint…
In Australia there are around 17 different halal certifiers and there is fierce competition between the groups to get companies to have their organisation 'certify' the company's products as being halal.
One of the halal certifiers is Mohamed El-Mouelhy, who operates as the "sole director of 'Halal Certification Authority Pty Ltd". He noted on his Facebook page on 17 January that is he suing for defamation in NSW…
Q Society recently confirmed that he is suing Q Society and individuals associated with Q Society, for defamation. Mr El- Mouelhy notes he is also suing Kirralie Smith, the founder of Halal Choices, for defamation – as well as You Tube!
The claims relate to comments made in two videos published by Q Society, where Kirralie speaks about halal certification.
The 'Directions Hearing' for the legal action in the NSW Supreme Court has been set for the second half of February.
I'll leave it to Q Society to explain – this is their latest email update on the case… and posted on Facebook
Subject: UPDATE: Court action by Mohamed El-Mouelhy
From Q Society - Update Court Action by Mohamed El-Mouelhy
We can now confirm that Mohamed El-Mouelhy as the sole director of 'Halal Certification Authority Pty Ltd' has lodged a 'Statement of Claim' against Q Society of Australia Inc, YouTube LLC as well as four individuals. He claims defamation and seeks "damages", "aggravated damages", "interest", an "injunction against further publication of the matters complained" and "costs, including costs on an indemnity basis". His claims are based on two videos published on our YouTube channel.
We would like to clarify ....
Click here to read their FULL Update...
If you listen to homosexual activists, or much of the media, you would think that being bought up by a homosexual couple is 'just as good' as being brought up by a mother and a father who are married.
Recently four adults, who had each been brought up by homosexual parents, gave evidence to a court in the USA, and opposed same-sex 'marriage'. They each testified that their upbringing had negative influences.
The four people were Katy Faust, Dawn Stefanowicz, B.N. Klein, and Robert Oscar Lopez (we have previously written about Dawn and Robert's stories).
In a compelling and revealing article, Kirsten Andersen, of Life Site News writes, "Recounting childhood memories of households made deeply dysfunctional by their parents' sexual appetites and the radical subculture that went along with their "gay" identities, all four argued that redefining marriage to include homosexual couples will likely lead to the exploitation and abuse of countless children for political and personal gain."

'Quartet of Truth': Adult children of gay parents testify against same-sex 'marriage' at 5th Circuit
Life Site News, 13/1/2015.
23 Jan 2015
Campbell Newman, Queensland's Premier (Liberal National Party) has called a state election for Saturday 31 January 2015.
The writ for the election was issued on 6 January.
Recent media reports claim that the election could be close, with a Galaxy Poll showing a 12% swing against the Newman government; there is also some speculation that there could be a hung parliament and that Campbell Newman could even lose his own seat of Ashgrove (see media report).
Of course, we know that the ONLY poll that actually counts is the vote on election day!
With a very short election campaign, when most people are still in 'holiday mode', voters in Queensland only have a short time to investigate political parties and their promises, and contact their own local candidates.
This email provides some basic information about the election, candidates and parties - AND the Christian Values Checklist...
Due to the time frame, we will not provide the sort of detailed information that we did for the Victorian and federal elections. For further information about elections, allocating preferences, and so on, please see the articles we published for the 2014 Victorian election – click here.
Christian Values Checklist
The Christian Values Checklist for the Queensland election has JUST been published. It compares political party positions on a range of moral issues.
It is online at the Australian Christian Values Institute website.
Please read, circulate to friends and distribute at your church!
Overview – Queensland election
This overview contains information under the following subheadings:...
22 Jan 2015
On 26 January we celebrate 'Australia' Day', which marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson, now Sydney Harbour, in 1788. The eleven ships of the First Fleet consisted of six ships containing 780 convicts and hundreds of officers, along with two naval vessels and three supply ships (read more about the ships here and the convicts here).
In celebrating this day, you might 'fly the flag' at your home or on your car. It's often a day to gather with friends for the traditional 'Aussie BBQ'!
Praying for our nation
We encourage you to pray for our nation, Australia, on Australia Day. As you pause to reflect and pray, we invite you to include the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) in your meditation.
We recently read Matthew Henry's commentary on the Lord's Prayer, which provides some helpful insights:
Read comments on verses 1-15 from his 'Concise Commentary'
Australia's Christian heritage
Australia has a rich Christian heritage, dating from the sending of the First Fleet, when Rev Richard Johnson was selected to be the chaplain and brought thousands of Bibles and Christian literature with him.Shortly after arriving, Rev Johnson held a church service.
Dr Graham McLennan, leader of the National Alliance of Christian Leaders, has researched and prepared a lot of material about our Christian heritage….
Visit Graham's website – Christian History Research…
- Watch the 5 minute video presentation about Rev Richard Johnson establishing the first church and school in the colony.
- View Dr McLennan's Powerpoint presentation (97 slides), which provides a comprehensive overview of Australia's Christian Heritage.
Christian Heritage Sunday – Feb 1st, 2015
Mark your diary now to celebrate Christian Heritage Sunday at your church – it will be held on Feb 1st 2015.
Visit the Christian Heritage Sunday website for full information – about participating, resources and links.
After a few weeks break, we are back into looking at the issues ... which haven't stopped.
With the recent terrorist attacks in Sydney, France and the foiled attack in Belgium, the world is becoming increasingly aware of the threat from 'radical' Muslims. In the past, many leaders have proclaimed the 'Islam is peace' mantra, and some say that only a few Islamist radicals are the problem.
French President Francois Hollande said, "Those who committed these acts, these fanatics, have nothing to do with the Muslim faith." As Daniel Pipes noted, this is far from the truth - he noted that the french Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, did a bit better: "We make war … against radical Islam."
At the same time, Boko Haram, the violent Islamic group in Nigeria, carried out yet more atrocities, killing hundreds of people. We heard a lot about the Paris protests, with huge marches and global meetings of world leaders, but little about the killing of Nigerians. Some have compared the responses, saying that Nigeria needs our help (for example, see this article).
Some Islamic leaders have also spoken out against the violent attacks. But the problem is that those who are carrying out these attacks, and those who are fighting in Iraq and Syria, take their inspiration from the Qur'an and from the example of Mohammed.
Clive Kessler, emeritus professor of sociology and anthropology at the University of NSW, has written an excellent 'must read' article about the historical context of today's 'resurgent Islam' - in The Australian this week and posted on the UNSW website.
Article: Islam cannot disown jihadists driven by rage against history
A longer version, titled 'A rage against history' appeared on the ANU's New Mandala website.
What is Australia doing?
In Australia, there are an increasing number of reports about what should be done about the young Muslims who are going to Iraq and Syria to fight with ISIS/ISIL/'Islamic State'. Tony Abbott has joined a number of other world leaders who refuse to use the name ISIL or Islamic State because he says it is neither a state nor Islamic - he suggests using the name Daesh. The Telegraph writes, that 'Daesh' is "an acronym for al-Dawla al-Islamyia fil Iraq wa'al Sham, an Arabic version of the group's name. The term is despised by the group itself because it is a pejorative in Arabic and sounds similar to an Arabic term for treading underfoot and a separate term for a person who sows discord."
The Australian government is facing several problems - monitoring those who are 'at risk', watching those whose passports have been cancelled and dealing with those who have returned to Australia after fighting with Islamist jihadist groups overseas. The federal government has funded a package of measures to try and deal with the growing jihadist threat. In August 2014, the Abbott government announced an additional $630 million in funding to try and deal with the radicalisation of Muslim youth, including those returning from fighting in Syria. Much of this was to boost the capacity of anti-terrorism efforts by our security agencies.
The government also conducts the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Programme, which includes providing Community Resilience Grants and 'Living Safe Together' grants to (Islamic) community groups to try and prevent radicalisation of Muslim youth. These grants have been provided to community groups since 2011. This year the government is providing grants worth $1 million - applications for close on 16 February. [Similar programs to try and prevent radicalisation were introduced by the Howard Coalition government!]
Australia is planning to join a summit of international leaders next month - that will address the problem of dealing with 'homegrown terrorists' (source).
Geert Wilders and other leaders made a different response . . .
One politician who is prepared to make a different and forthright response is Geert Wilders from The Netherlands - his latest messages are clear about the beliefs of Islam and the threat to the west. You can listen to his message after the Paris attacks, and his speech to the Dutch parliament on January 14, 2015.
Daniel Pipes, writing about the so-called 'far-right' parties in Europe, notes that some of the leaders of these parties are prepared to speak the truth. He notes that Marine Le Pen, of the National Front, was not invited to the President's public parade. He writes, "Le Pen was, as usual, the only French leader boldly to come out and identify their cause: "We are fighting an ideology, that of Islamist fundamentalism."
These are difficult times - as Christians, it is important that we are aware of the competing ideologies and worldviews in our society.
And it's vital that we remember that Jesus Christ provides the only solution to the violence and turmoil of this world – and that the peace He gives is not what the world sees as 'peace'. In fact, Jesus told us that we will face persecution and trouble (Matthew 5).
We need to reach out to Muslim neighbours and work colleagues in friendship. Many Muslims around the world are coming to faith in Christ - I recently read a book called 'Miraculous Movements' that has inspiring stories about the discipleship program being used by Cityteam to reach hundreds of thousands of Muslims (and others), particularly in Africa. It was compelling reading! Read some of the testimonies here - the book is available at Koorong or online.

Alright I'm about to go into a little bit of a rage mode rant here so here we go. Balance patch notes are up, and we're seeing that Riot intends to nerf Talon and Riven. Fine, whatever. I don't agree with the extent of the nerfs, but that's not what this is about. This is about Blitzcrank, Mumu, and Shen all getting off scot free in the patch notes.
Again. The fact of the matter is...wait for it...
These champions are almost always picked or banned. They are broken.
There's no excuse for this. These champions kits are not inherently unbalanceable.. I invite anyone who says so to look at Vladimir. Resourceless champion with infinite sustain, inherently impossible to balance by nerfs to numbers alone. At least, that's what people were saying when Vladimir was released, then nerfed to trash tier, then slowly buffed and adjusted over time with varying success.
And here we stand today. Nobody is crying for Vladimir nerfs, and nobody is calling for Vladimir buffs. I would go as far as to say he is one of the most balanced champions currently in the League. With minimal mechanical changes to his kit, he was balanced solely by finding a good balance between his numbers and the innate power of his kit.
Shen was garbage when I started this game, despite his ultimate being more or less the same. Yet players will often point to his ultimate as something that makes him "unbalanceable by design", when in fact that very same ultimate was not enough to save him from the scrap heap without excessive buffs due to how energy starved he was and how pathetic his non ult skills were.
Blitzcrank was never picked when I started. He had very high mana costs, and overdrive resulted in an "underdrive" speed debuff. There weren't any noticeable complaints about Blitzcrank either.
Amumu has always been broken in season 2 and 3, but was under the radar for a while due to how difficult season 1 jungle was for him to clear and his being a terrible laner.
All I'm asking is for an attempt to be made to balance these champions. Champions do not need to follow a homogenous cookie cutter formula to be balanced; characters like Vladimir are proof that delicate number tapping can eventually result in balance despite innate kit power. I want to see a lot more numbers in patch notes than I currently do, rather than promises of reworks in a year.
Give Heimer a small buff while he waits for his rework. Give Sion one of his AP ratios back. Give Xerath some more damage on arcanopulse. Reduce the cooldown on Karma's mantra. Increase Brand's damage on his passive. I frankly do not care. We do not need to leave champions in a state of being clearly broken or clearly useless for a year while we sit twiddling our thumbs for a rework. It is not hard to change numbers in the coding as a temporary fix while you look for a better solution.
hes op
Vlad is still broken
Blitz shen and amumu arent broken, people just dont know how to counter them.
The Bushmaster
You'd better be careful with that sense making after what happened to the last guy that made sense.
We don't talk about that guy.
almost always picked or banned =/= broken
Your logic falls there.
blitz isnt unbalanced by design. he is unbalanced because his numbers are bonkers.
he is perfectly nerfable. they just ignore him.
none of those champs are op
Vannan Marlfox
Shen is fine. Wtf are you smoking OP.
I can't figure out why he's ever banned.
idiots dont read past the first thing they disagree with. GD.
your last sentence is what ive been saying to my self for ages. riot seems to favour knee-jerk reactions over slow and steady progress.
just make tiny tiny tiny changes to 90% of the champion pool every patch
