Leura Events 2013
The Blue Mountains Villages Are Open...Nights cooling down, but perfect days!
Leura Golf Club is looking so smart after a refurbish in 2013. It is a perfect stop for lunch or dinner. Coach tours will find the club can accommodate large groups and the Kitchen can plan a terrific lunch for a group of any size. The view is smashing!
MAY 10, 2014: A new Leura event: Leura Harvest Festival. Food, crafts and so much more. We'll check in with sponsors in March and keep you informed.
Leura is an enchanting village located in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. With its Edwardian storefronts and 19th century cottages, Leura sits framed upon a background of stunning natural wonders: sandstone escarpment, dense eucalypt forests and rugged terrain.
For day travelers, Leura is an easy two-hour car or train journey from Sydney. For the overnight guests, this Edwardian village offers charm and elegance – an extraordinary getaway.
Leura and the Blue Mountains move noticeably into four distinct seasons. A chill in the autumn air and brilliant colours can be seen on every village street.
Wrapped warmly for the predictable wintry cold, we take part in Yuletide celebrations and feasts in July.
Spring arrives and The Mall is in full spectacular bloom for the October Leura Village Fair. The street becomes a vendor's paradise and many private Leura's gardens open to the public.
Summer finds Christmas shoppers filling the streets and cafés. January's Shakespeare Festival in the Everglades Gardens setting is delightful and in February the flamboyant Roarin' 20s Festival transforms The Mall into glitz and glitter.
Whatever the season, we return again and again to Leura, the perfect combination of the natural ancient world and the modern day fun. Click here - photo gallery - for a visual look at Leura.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work -- the night watchman.
Tallulah Bankhead
The night before I left Las Vegas I walked out in the desert to look at the moon. There was a jeweled city on the horizon, spires rising in the night, but the jewels were diadems of electric and the spires were the neon of signs ten stories high.
Norman Mailer
I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came
Jefferson Davis
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in
Casey Stengel
Such a fatigue of adjectives, a drone of alliterations, a huffing of hyphenated words hurdling the meter like tired horses. Such a faded upholstery of tears, stars, bells, bones, flood and blooda thud of consonants in tongue, night, dark, dust, seed, wound and wind.
Anatole Broyard
Stripped of all its outer encrustations, spirituality emerges as a science, as scientific as any other, as verifiable in its results. Let any seeker take it up and let him create in the laboratory of the soul the conditions that are prerequisite; as sure as the day follows the night shall he rise into the Kingdom of God.
Sant Kirpal Singh
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence
Dreams are the bright creatures of poem and legend, who sport on earth in the night season, and melt away in the first beam of the sun, which lights grim care and stern reality on their daily pilgrimage through the world.
Charles Dickens
Sweet the coming on / Of grateful evening mild; then silent night / With this her solemn bird and this fair moon, / And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
John Milton
The result was that, if it happened to clear off after a cloudy evening, I frequently arose from my bed at any hour of the night or morning and walked two miles to the observatory to make some observation included in the programme.
Simon Newcomb
One-third to one-half of humanity are said to go to bed hungry every night. In the Old Stone Age the fraction must have been much smaller. This is the era of hunger unprecedented. Now, in the time of the greatest technical power, is starvation an institution. Reverse another venerable formula: the amount of hunger increases relatively and absolutely with the evolution of culture.
Marshall Sahlins
The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.
As only New Yorkers know, if you can get through the twilight, you'll live through the night.
Dorothy Parker
In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light.In summer quite the other way I have to go to bed by day.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
Henry Ward Beecher
How pleasant is Saturday night, When I have tried all the week to be good, And not spoke a word that was bad, And obliged everyone that I could.
Nancy Sproat
The good talk that is inseparable from a wine dinner is even more important than the wines that are being served. Never bring up your better bottles if you are entertaining a man who cannot talk. Keep your treasures for a night when those few who are nearest to your heart can gather round your table, free from care, with latchkeys in their pockets and no last train to catch.
Maurice Healy
I cried for madder music and for stronger wine, But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire, Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine
Ernest Dowson
Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine; And I was desolate and sick of an old passion, Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head: I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.
Ernest Dowson
The night was cloudless and absolutely without wind. The butterflies slept on, and on, and on, with wings tightly folded together until the rays of sun fell upon them the following morning, and then as if touched with a magic wand, the mighty colony wafted into the air.

Set against the backdrop of the South African Truth and Reconciliation hearings, In My Country charts the depths of pain and suffering and the redeeming power of forgiveness and love. Washington Post journalist Langston Whitfield (Samuel L. Jackson) is skeptical about the process, feeling that it is just a way for the perpetrators to escape unscathed. Anna Malan (Juliette Binoche), an Afrikaaner poet and journalist, is enthusiastic, with great hopes of seeing her country healed. Instantly at odds over their opposing views, Langston and Anna are eventually drawn closer through the shared experience of listening to the moving and painful testimony. As Langston becomes increasingly drawn into Anna's world and her passion for the country of her birth, they both confront difficult questions.

New super-sized V energy drink will put kids at risk, health experts warn
- From: news.com.au
- December 05, 2012
- Frucor Beverages Australia launch "share bottle" of V drink
- Doctors "appalled" by amount of caffeine legally sold
- Should energy drink market be curtailed? Comment below
UPDATE 1.30pm: NEWS.COM.AU readers have made up their minds about whether super-sized energy drinks should be sold - as health experts condemned a new 1.2L V energy drink being stocked at supermarkets in the reach of children.
Nearly 2000 people voted on our web poll, which asked the question: Should energy drinks be sold in family-sized bottles?
67.5 per cent of readers said they should not. "Les" labelled energy drinks "the new cigarettes", "Billy T" said they should be sold in plain packaging and taxed and "JD" remarked that while he liked Red Bull, and that people can already buy multiple cans of the energy drinks, a 1.2L bottle was a "bit excessive".
But should regulators really have to crack down on energy drinks? Many readers felt that parents should take responsibility for their children's purchases.

Censorship of food, what next? Are Australians that stupid they need the Nanny state to tell them what to eat/drink?
Comment 1 of 113
Starlight of Brisbane Posted at 9:22 AM December 05, 2012
Just like America, everything has to be super-sized here as well. The AMA has been warning our community leaders of the dangers of these 'energy' drinks ever since they appeared on the market. The only reason nobody has paid attention is that the companies which produce these drinks are cashed up and too powerful for our governement to deal with. This, as far as I'm concerned is a symptom of the tyrany of commercial interests that is slowly becoming worse. Increasingly commercial interests are taking precedence over our financial securit, health, and freedom.

MIchael Love Posted at 9:27 AM December 05, 2012
How this attitude has been able to survive so long perplexes me. The argument that things like this need to be banned or regulated for the sake of the children is all well and good EXCEPT it assumes that the childs parent is not the least bit responsible. All Dr Steve Hambleton should be doing is putting the information out there "In our opinion this is a risk to the welfare of children and we implore parents to regulate what their children put into their body". Seems to me that is a lot easier than crying for more regulations.

5 deaths from a product. What about the 100,000 or more deaths from smoking each year. The government are well aware of the risks to smoking and have even made it policy for the gory pictures.

We as parents are constantly battling with these large corporations who make and sell products that are unhealthy and full of additives, marketed to our kids. When is Food Standards Aust going to become accountable and responsible for what is accepted on our supermarket shelves? I can't believe the rubbish that is sold today - and people thinks it's "safe" because Food Standards has accepted it!!!!!

Brett H of Adelaide Posted at 9:38 AM December 05, 2012
All these energy drinks are really bad for you. People shouldn't wait for a study into them, just stop drinking them now. Its not hard to see they are bad for your health. If you need energy then start eating right/better. Your health is the most important thing you have.

J Dizzler of Sydney Posted at 9:40 AM December 05, 2012
Why doesn't the government distribute a pallet of cotton wool to every person in this country then we can all curl up in the middle of it and never make another choice for ourselves again? Good solution?
Comment 10 of 113
Mick Posted at 9:40 AM December 05, 2012
To be honest its parents that should be regulating the consumption of this by their children. You say we wouldn't allow kids to have 3-4 cups of coffee, well why do you allow them to have 1.2L of V? Its just trying to shift the problem elsewhere for poor parenting decisions.
Comment 11 of 113
MisstEm of Melb Posted at 9:43 AM December 05, 2012
I like the idea of this larger size bottle. However it should maybe sold in stand alone Liquor stores. I see countless children in the mornings guzziling on energy drinks and having a large bottle will appeal to them, having it tucked away in liquor stores will minimise *not rule out* them being sold.

I think everyone knows the risks of high caffeine drinks already thanks. Be quiet and let people make their own choices. Why do these little groups always feel as though they have the right to dictate everybody else's lives.

Energy drinks in Australia have about a quarter of the caffeine content of others around the world.... 250-300mg/L : 1200mg/L Nanny state, gtfo.

Shannon of QLD Posted at 9:54 AM December 05, 2012
Drinking too much water has killed people... are we going to control that too? In fact, water is responsible for more deaths per year than they want you to know about!
Comment 18 of 113
Gary Sheppard of Sydney Posted at 9:54 AM December 05, 2012
It would be also helpful to, by law, prevent these class of drinks being called "Energy drinks". High caffeine content as a stimulant is not "energy". Amphetamines are also stimulants but we do not benignely call them energy pills. Make it mandatory to describe them more accurately - like high dosage caffeine drinks so that they are more accurate. At present the name is too similar to sports 'energy' drinks such as Gatorade etc.

SRG Posted at 9:55 AM December 05, 2012
Crikey, will you nanny-staters just grow the hell up? If you don't want it, don't buy it and don't drink it. I don't drink alcohol or smoke, but I'm not out in the streets screaming for them to be banned, because I'm not enough of a d-bag to try and tell people what to do with their own bodies. if you don't want your kids to drink it, try supervising them and being a better parent. What we need are more intelligent and responsible people, not more laws.

Hey Brett H of Adelaide - looking at the ingredients on my can of mother here... it's basically Berocca, Sugar, Caffine and Tourine... How much more do you need to know?

Jon of Redcliffe Posted at 9:56 AM December 05, 2012
A former work colleague of mine used to drink V. A lot of V. He had to have his lower intestine removed, as the drink had shredded it. While his body recovered from the horrific shock of losing something so vital, he had a bag attached to his side to handle his waste. Not long ago he went into surgery to have an artificial system in place, so that he can get rid of the bag. He still won't be able to eat slow digestion foods though, such as meat. What the hell is in these drinks that it can shred peoples bodies so brutally?

David Posted at 9:56 AM December 05, 2012
Here we go again the so called experts wanting a ban on something if they don't like it, a doctors job is to treat people not have an opinion on soft drinks. The future of freedoms in this country is a real concern.

Aj of of sydney Posted at 9:56 AM December 05, 2012
I'm a 20 year old male who decided to have 2 500mL energy drinks with his mates on a relaxed sunday, I used to regularly ride a motorcycle to work (60km each way through peak hour), thinking it wasn't a big deal I continued on as normal and didn't feel too bad until the day after. The V caused heart palpitations and low blood pressure the next day rather than instantly and the symptoms started when I first woke up on the Monday. Riding to work I had no idea what was going on as I was very dizzy and had a few close calls (on the bike nonetheless). I could not figure out where these symptoms came from until I went to the doctor on the Tuesday because I was still feeling very dizzy and tired. The first thing the doctor asked me was whether I've had any energy drinks in the last few days. Needless to say, since then I've been very careful about how much of this I drink, didn't realise what it could do to the body until the next day, and that's scary.

Why would they put soft drink near to cornflakes in the cereal isle? This doctor is lying for dramatic effect. Parents should be taking responsibility for their children's food choices, not the government.

Yes in theory parents should be informed and stop their children consuming these, but how can parents stop their 15 yr olds stopping at the local supermarkets after school and consuming these sugary/caffeinated drinks - we don't want a nanny state but we also don't want drinks like this to be sold to just anyone.....fed up of seeing fat hyped up teenagers drinking these and ruining their health - I feel sorry for them.

I don't see the size being an issue. It would be more the awareness of the dangers of consuming it ALL yourself. The risk still exists by buying the cans individually and consuming the exact same amount... When I get together with friends there are a couple of us who enjoy having our beverages mixed with energy drinks and are forced to buy packs of cans ($$). This bottle is likely a cheaper alternative and allows us to share the beverage amongst friends. Sounds stupid but maybe only sell this in the liquor section of supermarkets or just educate people better.

I don't know who is the bigger idiot, the one who sells these drinks or the one who drinks them. These drinks are the worst thing they can do to them selves. These kids are being sucked in with what I think is criminal misinformation.

We as parents need to start doing our own regulating and not rely on government to do it for us. I do not want the government telling me what I can and drink drink...or eat. Every time we call for the government to do these things for us, there are more departments and more taxes that are needed. I'd prefer to keep my tax money and make my own decisions.

Energy drinks are the new cigarettes - highly profitable and not particularly good for your health. Saying that I'm not particularly concerned, because unlike cigarettes, someone else drinking an energy drink in the vicinity of me has no impact on my health, unlike cigarettes. Saying all that it might make sense to restrict the age of people who are allowed to buy energy drinks.

The 1.2L bottle is four standard drinks, correct? Why not have a hissy fit over the sale of a 4 pack of 500ml energy drinks? Does that mean cola soft drinks (or other drinks containing caffeine now, like Mountain Dew) are going to be clamped down on? I have seen people consume massive quantities of coke to get the caffeine fix. Maybe people just need to learn self control.

Well, considering a kid can go into a supermarket and buy without their parent's consent let alone knowledge, I would say a big fat yes to banning this gargantuan sized energy drink!. It has nothing to do with parenting, I tell my children the dangers of these drinks, what they do to them and what the long term effects are of drinking too much. So as a parent there really isn't much more I can do apart from following my teenage children 24/7 and monitoring what they buy. I don't drink this stuff, I don't buy it, it has never been allowed in my house

Maddy of Sydney Posted at 10:50 AM December 05, 2012
Here's an interesting idea: Parents take responsibility for what their offspring eat/drink, and teach them about living healthily, instead of looking to shift the blame and responsibility onto some government body. Or, you know, just keep going in a nation where we're too stupid to take responsibility for our own lifestyle choices, so the government has to control EVERYTHING for us. By the way, like it's been stated, these drinks are no more 'toxic' then a cup of coffee. So, are you guys saying coffee is dangerous and should be banned for sale for under 18's too? Seriously? Are we that frightened by our scare-mongering media's tactics we think something with the same caffeine content as a perfectly normal cup of coffee should be banned or over-regulated? Caffeinated beverages are only a concern if you're pregnant, or have a pre-existing medical condition that changes caffeine's effects on you. And let's face it, if you know you have a medical condition, and you then choose to go consume something that you *know* is going to make you sick, then you honestly deserve whatever happens to you. Natural selection in progress.

I saw an approx 6 yr old buy a 600mlbottle of the new Mountain Dew Energised the other day in a shop. I spoke up but the shop keeper said it wasn't his problem! This kid probably didn't know what he was buying as previously Mountain Dew WASN'T caffeinated in Oz. I think common sense should prevail by shop keepers when it comes to kids. I have no issues with this stuff being legislated to be over 18 or over 16 or something similar.

Anyone noticed it has a screw top so you can seal it up and drink it later, maybe itâs not meant to be consumed all at once. These doctors that are appalled are they the same ones that are angry at the 53 year old women who looks 25? People have commented that it's wrong that big companies dictate to our children what they should eat and drink, is it ok for minorities to also tell us this and then actually attempt to ban it. Anecdotes from commenterâs on how dangerous energy drinks are isn't evidence either. Banning something is the easy lazy way out and whose to say they won't eventually ban anything they think is bad for us if grossly misused. Doctors before you tell us all what to do, how about you look at your own lives. Do you smoke, drink alcohol, not exercise, take illicit drugs, eat poorly?, if so shut up and fix your own lives first.

Maybe if you go to bed earlier you won't need energy drinks to get through the day. They should be banned, they are killing people all over the world.

I'm sick of governments BANNING everything - they should not be able to ban any food item (well maybe GMO's but that is not a REAL FOOD) - but rather using regulations that inform the public so that they can make their own choice. Like for instance - RAW milk - you can drink yourself into a stuper and you can smoke yourself to cancer but raw milk is BANNED - why - because the government says I cannot make an informed choice myself. Inform not ban and let us make up our own minds.

People (and parents) should be taking responsibility for their own health and that of those in their charge. Just because some regulatory authority allows something to be placed on the supermarket shelves doesn't absolve you of any responsibility or make you any less stupid if you choose to buy it. Don't drink it myself, and never will - we see too many idiots mixing stimulants and depressants (alcohol anyone?) on the weekend. News' Heroes Walk Away campaign should include walking away from the first step of moronic behaviour by drinking a dumbass combination of liquids that will land those same idiots in trouble five hours later.

To all thosemtalking about a nanny state, I agree. I think there should be plenty of information available so people can make up theor own minds. However, these people also believe that when they end up in hospital with heart palpitations the state should pay the bill, and ultimately the tax payer. I'm more than happy for you to eat and drink and smoke whatever you want, but if it is knwn to be harmful and you choose to participate, then i don't see why i shold pay for your health bill. If you are not happy to pay those bills then you can expect to live in a nanny state as the state has to pay for your stupid decisions. Oh the same goes for drink driving, smoking and refusing vaccinations

Rover Posted at 12:24 PM December 05, 2012
The reason we have a nanny state is that way too many people are too immature and stupid to make sensible decisions themselves. We have speed limits because many people are too stupid to regulate their speed themselves. We have blood alcohol limits because many people are too stupid to realise that driving under the influence is stupid. Approved child seats/capsules/restraints are compulsory because many parents would not use them. Seat belts are compulsory because many people are too stupid to know that wearing them could save their lives. The nanny state has come about because of stupidity. A ten year old is not capable of deciding whether an energy drink is harmful. Many parents either don't care or don't know. I agree with the poster who said that kids should be banned: at least for people who are too stupid to raise them responsibly. Based on my observations that would be a good 50% of the population. And that's being generous after seeing what a lot of parents do.

As I stated above I am the mother of teenage children, I educate them on health and wellbeing, but there is nothing I can do to stop them from buying this drink themselves when they are out and about and they do. The last thing we need is a huge bottle of this, which alot of teenagers will think is hilarious to drink the whole lot in one sitting. That's the problem.

You keep saying that drinks like this "will be picked up at the supermarket and guzzled by children" but what, they can freely do that with every other soft drink in the place which is just as bad for their health when drunk in excess? And if the parents are stupid enough to buy it for them then its their problem. Also I don't know where they shop, but in my local supermarket the cornflakes are about 3 aisle away from the soft drinks, along side the fruit loops and coco pops which parents will gladly buy for their kids to eat first thing in the morning.

One thing you see in Australia, obesity has gone through the roof in the last 10-20 years. This has lot to do with Major food producer having high sugar low fat and calling it healthy and other basic foods that have no or low nutritional value. We need to have basic rules as to what can go in food and amounts of sugar salt ect. Big business advertises this crap to kids and even though parents should be teaching healthy options, I imagine it would be hard especially with teenagers buyer there own stuff at school ect. Another thing is the cost to the country to treat people over weight people seeing as were at 50%. My parents bought a health marketed product line I was horrified when I checked the sugar levels, but it was marketed as Healthy.

Itâs plain wrong! There is no reason to have these energy drinks so readily available and in my opinion should not be sold to under 16 kids. Kids go hyperactive and silly when they drink them, we would not feed them coffee at 7pm at night would we. They take them to school and disrupt classes because of the effects. So I do not let my child have them but the irresponsible parents actions are upsetting my childâs class. They have a place but not in childrenâs diets full stop. One day they will find that they cause learning difficulties, cancer and other health problems just like smoking and under age drinking, it will just take 20 years for the research to be conclusive! Remember these contain stimulants that are addictive!!!!

Aj of of sydney Posted at 9:56 AM Today I'm a 20 year old male who decided to have 2 500mL energy drinks with his mates on a relaxed sunday, I used to regularly ride a motorcycle to work (60km each way through peak hour), thinking it wasn't a big deal I continued on as normal and didn't feel too bad until the day after. The V caused heart palpitations and low blood pressure the next day rather than instantly and the symptoms started when I first woke up on the Monday. Riding to work I had no idea what was going on as I was very dizzy and had a few close calls (on the bike nonetheless). I could not figure out where these symptoms came from until I went to the doctor on the Tuesday because I was still feeling very dizzy and tired. The first thing the doctor asked me was whether I've had any energy drinks in the last few days. Needless to say, since then I've been very careful about how much of this I drink, didn't realise what it could do to the body until the next day, and that's scary. ....BUT you still continued to ride the motor bike?......you muat have a brain the size of a pea......

The idea of restricting these to 18+yo is a good one. Kids don't need this crap killing their insides. Mind you there is one out there with no sugar, no carbs and 80mg caffeine per can which is 1 cup of tea. No advertising is done for it. No shops sell it, but it outsells Red Bull in Japan and is very close to doing it here. An anyone guess it?

They will be stationed everywhere 24 hours a day in case a violation of the nanny law takes places. Supermarkets, bottle shops, pubs, clubs, sporting events, backyard BBQ's, street corners and so on. If you buy a large bottle of V they take you aside and question you as to what your intent is with the bottle. If under 18 you are forcibly removed form the vicinity of the drink and parents phoned to come at get you. I even have a uniform in mind, grey curly hair wig, old yellow sundress, sensible shoes with thick grey stocking and a pair of coke bottle thick glasses on a chain. Vehicle tricked out gopher with flashing lights and siren. DON'T MESS WITH THE NANNY POLICE

I think the AMA has been infiltrated by anti-evolutionists. Red Bull gives you wings right?, so its a human controlled evolutionary enhancement, something some people may not like. That's the real agenda.

Thanks, big. I should have mentioned in my post above that a reboot generally fixes the problem at the time but it always returns the next night. Since reboots take 10-15min to complete, it is usually too drastic a solution so I am hoping there is some other fix. I am guessing this box just needs replacement.

Four men in Minnesota sentenced to prison for aiding Somali rebel group
- Tweet
- Share this
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A federal judge sentenced four men to prison on Tuesday for helping recruit young men in Minnesota to travel to Somalia and fight for the militant group al Shabaab.
Investigators believe about 20 young, ethnic Somali men left Minnesota from 2007 to 2009 to go to Somalia to fight for al Shabaab, which the United States designated a terrorist organization.
Three men who cooperated with investigators were each sentenced to three years and a fourth man was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
"These defendants, by providing material support to a designated terrorist organization, broke both the law and the hearts of family members across the Twin Cities," U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones said in a statement.
Eighteen men were charged after a four-year investigation. Eight were convicted and the rest are thought to be fugitives or to have been killed in Somalia while fighting for al Shabaab.
On Tuesday, Omer Abdi Mohamed, 28, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty in July 2011 to one count of conspiring to provide material support to co-conspirators who intended to murder, kidnap, or maim Ethiopian and Somali government troops.
Mohamed, of Minneapolis, admitted that he helped recruits get plane tickets and helped to raise money for them to travel to Somalia to fight with al Shabaab in 2007.
Three men who cooperated with investigators were each sentenced to three years in prison by Chief Judge Michael Davis in Minneapolis federal court. Abdifatah Yusuf Isse, Salah Osman Ahmed, and Ahmed Hussein Mahamud had each pleaded guilty to one count of providing material support to al Shabaab.
Isse, 29, and Ahmed, 30, both of Minneapolis, admitted traveling to Somalia in December 2007, where they both stayed at al Shabaab safe-houses or training camps. They left Somalia together in the spring of 2008.
Mahamud, 28, a Westerville, Ohio, resident who had lived in a Minneapolis suburb, admitted in February 2012 that he helped provide al Shabaab with money and people from 2008 through February 2011.
Isse, Ahmed, and Mahamud testified at the trial of another man, Mahamud Said Omar, who was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison for his 2009 conviction on five counts for providing money and aiding the travel of men to Somalia for al Shabaab.
Omar, a Somali citizen who lived legally in the United States, was accused of aiding al Shabaab from September 2007 through August 2009. He was accused of providing hundreds of dollars to al Shabaab for assault rifles and of helping six men travel from Minnesota to Somalia in the fall of 2008.
Also on Monday, Davis sentenced Minneapolis resident Kamal Said Hassan, 28, to 10 years in prison. He admitted going to Somalia, where he trained at an al Shabaab camp and participated in an attack on Ethiopian soldiers, prosecutors said.
Hassan pleaded guilty to two counts of aiding al Shabaab and one of lying to investigators.
The earliest of the travelers left the United States in October and December 2007, followed by more in 2008 and 2009. Two of the travelers, Shirwa Ahmed and Farah Mohamed Beledi are believed to have blown themselves up in attacks in Somalia.

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
I recieved this in my Birchbox last year, but the sample lasted so long, that I didn't have to get a full size until Christmas. I got it in the shade, Perfect Kiss, and the color is gorgeous! Not to mention, it lasts all day long! I'm really sad though because I lost it somewhere and I'll have to buy a new one!
I LOVE this stuff! I received it in a Birchbox almost a year ago and just NOW marked it as a FAV when I couldn't keep the sample going any longer! I'm definitely coming back for more. So nice on the lips, easy to apply, and convenient to carry around. Great stuff!
Long lasting, polished finish, with the perfect pop of color! I love everything about this lip pencil. No stickiness like lip gloss and I never had to worry about it fading like I do with my lipstick. My lips look and feel fantastic every time I use this. Plus the scent is great!
Best lipgloss lipstick around absolutely love wearing this it makes your lips feel smooth and moisturized... Would recommend to everybody
This is a great product. It's stayed all day and my mom also tried it and loved it. She liked the color better than I did which was orange.
Really nice lipstick! I love the color and texture - shiny but not glossy. I would recommend pairing this with a lipliner, as the lipstick tends to bleed a bit.
Very late review. Received in my April 2013 Birchbox. The color I received was Cheeky Kiss. The stick looks like mauve, but when it goes on it is more of a dark natural pink. Goes on extremely smooth and stays on through a few coffees!
Thank you Birchbox. This is one product that I consistently reach for when getting ready.
I love this color. It goes on smooth and seems to last. It has a pretty iridescent look to it. I put some gloss over the top of it and it's good to go!
I purchased two colors after sampling through Birchbox. This works better than any lipstick, lip gloss, or lip moisturizer I have ever tried.
Intense color! I love how it goes on and it as definite staying power with no stickiness of other glosses. I have gotten so many compliments on this lipcolor. One layer does more then enough. I love this product, I just wish I could figure out to make more come out.

Four men have been charged with arranging shipments to China and Iran of weapons materials, or a substance that can be used in uranium enrichment, officials announced Wednesday after indictments containing the charges were unsealed.
Three of the men have been arrested while the fourth is in being sought to face charges described in court papers in US District Court in Manhattan.
Those charges include allegations that they broke embargo and export laws, with two of them accused of arranging to send a shipment of carbon fibre to Iran, where US Attorney Preet Bharara said it ''most assuredly had the potential to end up in the wrong hands''.
Authorities said carbon fibre can be used in gas centrifuges that enrich uranium and in military aircraft and strategic missiles.
''Whether motivated by greed or otherwise, these defendants allegedly violated the law, including by arranging for the export of carbon fibre that can be used in uranium enrichment,'' said George Venizelos, head of the New York FBI office.
James Hayes, head of Homeland Security Investigations at the New York office of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the arrests occurred as part of a daily ''cat-and-mouse game with individuals who will go to great lengths to circumvent US Customs law to export sensitive military grade technology to countries like Iran and China''.
''If in the wrong hands,'' he said, ''carbon fibre can be used to manufacture dangerous products that threaten our national security and the security of other nations''.
In court papers, the government said Hamid Reza Hashemi since 2007 had successfully arranged for the shipment of carbon fibre, including from the United States, to his company in Tehran.
The dual US and Iranian citizen, who lived in Iran, was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he entered the United States on Saturday.
Peter Gromacki, a US citizen who lived and worked in Orange County, was arrested Wednesday and charged with arranging the export of more than 2721kg of carbon fibre from the US to Belgium for shipment to China. Authorities said he made false statements about where the shipments were headed.
Amir Abbas Tamimi, an Iranian citizen and a resident of Iran who was arrested at Kennedy airport as he entered the country on October 5, was accused of attempting to arrange since November 2011 for the export from the US to Iran of helicopter parts that can be used for military purposes, including reconnaissance and as missile platforms.
Murat Taskiran, a Turkish citizen accused in the plot to ship carbon fibre from the US to Iran, remains a fugitive.
Hashemi and Tamimi were detained after court appearances while Gromacki was freed on US$400,000 bail after an arraignment in federal court in White Plains.
Messages left with lawyers for the three arrested men on Wednesday were not immediately returned.

Rapid Reaction: Cardinals 10, Cubs 3
ST LOUIS -- The Cardinals got the jump on the Cubs early and never relented in a 10-3 victory on Sunday.
How it happened: In line to win their first series of the season, the Cubs instead dropped their second consecutive game to the Cardinals after winning the opener. Paul Maholm was roughed up, giving up six runs on six hits in four innings for the second consecutive start. The Cubs got little from their offense as four regulars got the day off leading into Monday's off day.
What it means: Every time the conversation starts to turn to the Cubs' solid starting pitching, the back end of the rotation adds some perspective. Ryan Dempster has a 1.88 ERA while Matt Garza has a 1.23 mark. Then it gets to Jeff Samardzija, who is at 3.95, while Chris Volstad is at 4.91. Then comes Maholm's 13.50 mark.
Outside the box: Steve Clevenger isn't about to unseat Geovany Soto as the starting catcher just yet, but he keeps getting unique chances to play. Typically backup catchers are kept on the bench in case the starter goes down, but Clevenger has already been used as a late-inning pinch hitter and on Sunday he got a chance to play first base in the seventh inning.
Off beat: Marlon Byrd reached base twice Sunday by errors on the Cardinals' infield. That means his hit total on the season matches the times he reached base in the game by miscue. Byrd, who can use all the hits he can get right now, was first awarded a single on his third-inning roller to third base. But a few innings later the call was reviewed and changed to an error on Daniel Descalso.
Up next: After an off day on Monday, Cubs right-hander Dempster (0-1, 1.88 ERA) will pitch in the opener of a three-game road series against the Marlins. Florida will counter with right-hander Josh Johnson (0-2, 8.38) in the 6:10 p.m. CST start from the new Marlins Park.
