Crap!! Cheats!! – Dont get fooled by the fake dishes.
If you are an authentic indian who is a foodie, you'd understand.
Last night i ordered for Vegetable Pulav and they mixed some white rice with sambar and served it to me. When I questioned the waiter, he says - "Sir, Everybody else ate the same, and they liked it" What CRAP is this? I understand if you trick an american with this, but not me. I have been cooking Pulav for over 10 years now and I know its made, This restaurant is over priced, people are rude and not a great ambiance at all.
My bad that I visited this place on my way to NJ from NC. Was extremely tired of the drive and was craving for some indian food... but ended up wasting my money and cool...
Would advice all never to visit this place and waste your valuable money on some shitty fake crap food
Not a place to be headed – Being a North Indian and having tasted food in different parts of India and USA, I would say Nawab is highly overpriced and to top it all the food is mostly fooling the innocent People who love Indian Food or want to try it or someone like me who when bored of home cooking want to eat at a reasonable place which serves good fresh food maintaining the Indian hospitality for which India is known.
Nawab has neither of the above mentioned points and my suggestion to people would be to head to "Spice India" at Whitehall which may not be the best option available but still way better than Nawab at a close affinity.This review comes after having visited Nawab thrice and deciding never to go there again.Oh how can I forget the poor quality meat they serve which stinks bad....
yes run, don't walk run to Nawab – some of these comments are awful. I have been coming here for years and never once had a bad meal.
But some tips for an exceptional meal:
If you are doing the buffet come early so you can get the fresh food. when 2:30 rolls around they are closing the buffet so if they let you sit they are being nice, but the food is usually limited than. I recommend coming around 1 thats my usual time. Foods great.
At dinner I recommend parking at the meter or a side street over. There is always parking just need to be smart
Dinner is nice and peaceful. Try the dinner for two I love that so much food for such a little price. It comes with everything. 4 course meal for two only 35 dollars
This place is great for dates as well as a family.
helpful notes. Im pretty sure they are closed on mondays and the buffet is only 8 dollars but at lunch you dont need to only have the buffet the menu is another option
hope these tips are useful
oohlala great family restaurant – Once again I was at Nawab this weekend however i thought it was time to expose my three year son to the delicious food. My son is quite a picky eater but since i ate indian food so much i thought it was time for him to indluge in this wonderful goodness.
He came in crying so i thought it was gonna be a long night. but the waitress comes out with a MANGO shake, now im thinking no way in hell is this gonna shut him up but I couldnt believe my eyes he was sipping away at the delicious drink and wouldnt share.
Than when it came time to order I asked the waitress to just pick for my entire family since we were stuck in such a rut with the same dishes. She chose lamb mango Shrimp Nirgis and garlic nan and chicken tandoor for my son.
We scrapped away at the dished and before we knew it we were stuffed and there was nothing left.
we obviously had to have dessert but there was no room so my husband and I shared honeyballs they were to die for they were nice and warm and were the topping on the cake for our great dinner
AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!! – I have been to many Indian Restaurants and Nawab is by far one of the best indian cuisines I have ever had! PEOPLE, IF YOU WANT TO TRY SOME AUTHENTIC INDIAN CUISINE HEAD DOWN TO NAWAB FOR SOME AMAZING EATERY! Disregard all the negative reviews, they are just trying to hurt the business. For all my visits to the Nawab were exceptional and the food was awesome. I was just down there the other day and the new dishes added to the menu are spectacular... cant wait to take my wife and kids down there soon! MUST TRY THIS PLACE.
DELISH – I agree below these rude comments are simply to hurt the business.
but guess its not working since they are always busy.
Nawab I love you food. Can't get enough of it. I wish i was indian sometimes.
I love your buffet. I am there every other day
And thank you for your wonderful catering this past week. It was perfect for the wedding hundreds of people were pleased and will be coming to eat there soon enough
Bethelehem's Finest – Ok i'll be blunt. I am appalled at these bad reviews. I am from the area and i have been to most of the Indian restaurants. as a result, i know that some of the other restaurants have been posting poor reviews to increase their own ratings. Im not accusing anyone im only stating what i know has happened.
That being said i will write my review of this restaurant. i go here at the very least once a week. not only that, but i go to college at lehigh as well, so i am there year round. Not a single time in the hundreds of times i have been there have i had a bad experience, every time it has been amazing.
For lunch, they have a buffet. this is for everyone who wants to try multiple dishes but is shy about trying exotic foods ( i was one of those people). The buffet food is absolutely delicious and it is all you can eat. Not only that, but its only $8.95. for what you get, this is an absolute steal.
Dinner however, is standard restaurant procedure (i.e. menus and waiters) first off, the staff is very friendly and helpful. They are willing to describe anything you don't understand and will fit any dish to your specific needs. that is, if you are vegan, vegetarian, whatever, they will make whatever food you want accordingly and without sacrificing any bit of quality. the menu is very large. In my time going, i have never ordered an unsatisfying dish ( and i have sampled the majority of the menu)
I want to address the complaint about parking. I don't know if you didn't look around, but it's in a city. clearly there isn't going to be a parking lot. That isn't fair to judge a restaurant based on something the city is responsible for. That being said, there is in fact plenty of parking on the streets within a block of Nawab. They are mostly meters, but on weekends i believe they are free, and after 7 i think they are free 9 not a hundred percent sure on timing)
all in all, this is my favorite restaurant. i love the food and the prices are more than reasonable, they cater to all your needs, whether that be a large party, or a quite dinner with friends or family. I know, because i have been there under both circumstances. Never once had a bad experience and will keep going there as much as i possibly can.
BEST INDIAN PLACE – I don't know what the rest of you are talking about
But i have been a regular for over 6 years go at least two to three times a month.
One of my favorite restaurants in bethlehem. The buffet is quite good. They offer a variety of food and Its only 8 bucks.
Dinner is wonderful too, so many dishes to choose from. I have met the cooks personally who have been the same ever since it opened so food is consistent, which is a plus.
Love the family that owns it, they are wonderful to get to know.
Looking for northern indian food? Nawab is a Fantastic place to go
and the comment below about vegetarians? are you kidding I am a vegetarian they have over 15 vegetarian dishes! and they will make more if you ask. They are a great place for VEGANS and VEGETARIANS thats actually something they pride themselves on. ITs a shame when individuals have their facts wrong.
Great place. Give it a shot and see for yourself
PS garlic naan...yum
Incredible Restaurant – Driving to The Nawab Indian Restaurant was simple for me being resident of Bethlehem. Parking was a bit precarious, but I did enjoy seeing the sights as I walked from a local bar to the restaurant. When I walked into the restaurant I was first greeted by the incredible smells coming all the way from the kitchen and I knew this was going to be a great meal. I was then met by the hostess and we were brought to our seats. The people were anything but "cold". The waiter was more than happy to help me with my selection, and did an amazing job describing the differences in flavors. I don't even have the correct words to describe how good the food was, but if I have any advice ask for the food to be extra spicy. Anyone who says the food is less then perfectly spiced obviously has no idea what Indian food is suppose to taste like. I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant and am very surprised to see all the poor reviews.
Avoid Nawab..Awful hospitality...no courtesy – As we drove down to this place, we found the parking situation nearby the place was extremely frustrating, When we arrived , were welcomed by unfriendly staff...had to wait to be seated...then we had to wait to order...then we had to wait for drinks...but for food there wass no wait time... looks like it was precooked! The waiter with a colonial hangover was busy entertaining some "selected" customers, obviously didn't feel like checking in on us, or pretty much anything. Once teh maincourse was done.. didn't offer coffee or dessert.! The check arrived without us asking for it. These people were just trying to fool the Non-Indians by mis-using the "INDIA" name, just by serving below average food and keeping some dusty handicrafts...
I wouldn't reccomend tis to anyone

The colors on this are not quite true to the picture; the gray is a deeper, more medium tone, and the yellow is a harsher, brighter yellow with an almost greenish tone. Not as rich-looking or elegant as it appears in the picture. My duvet, although queen size, is too small for the duvet cover (not sure why), and the material of the duvet cover is a tiny bit on the scratchy side. The 3 accessory pillows are a nice touch, though, and my children thought the bed looked like "a hotel" after it was all made up. By the way, the underside of the duvet cover is a solid white; the picture makes it look patterned. Bottom line: not bad, but I probably would have passed on it if I had seen it displayed in a store.
It feels just like it looks, GREAT!!! only thing i would chance, there are no strings in the corners of the dubet cover, to actually tie the dubet. But all in all, its a great buy.
This set looks nice on the picture but in real life it feels very thin and cheap looking, One side has flower and the other side is just a very thin white sheet(180 thread count). The pillows are smaller than I thought. Overall this is not worth the price that I paid for.
I was so excited to receive this set, as we had just moved and wanted to do a new scheme in my bedroom. Well, I finally arrived and I started pulling the bedding out and the decorative pillows were a completely different shade of yellow! So disappointing! I mean like the bedding had a pretty goldenrod yellow and the throw pillows were neon yellow. So I'm going to have to recover them to match since they look horrible together. I guess you get what you pay for :p
The pop of yellow in this duvet cover is perfect! It adds brightness by not being too over-the-top. Very cute.
It looked outstandingly gorgeous, but I was SO disappointed to it wasn't a blanket, blanket..
The cover and the pillows are of a really different yellow and therefore do not match at all. Plus, in the picture it appears as if the cover is entirely printed with flowers, but in reality is is primarily grey. I was looking for a colorful and cheerful set and this is not it. So I am returning it and hope that Overstock will pay for the return shipment, since the picture was so misleading.
I saw this set on pinterest and followed the link. We use it in our grey painted guest room and it looks so bright and cheery!
Looks just like the picture, the colors look beautiful against my accent wall
Love that the pillows came with this set. The duvet is soft, looks good. Unfortunately, I had to throw this duvet cover away. It shows a lot more white than I had anticipated, which doesn't go well with the dogs. I wasn't 100 % pleased with the yellow. It was more of a highlighter yellow than what is shown.

BRYAN -- Although they're in different divisions Texas A&M and Missouri are in the same boat as they make the move from the Big 12 to the SEC in 2012. The Tigers have had a good run in the Gary Pinkel era, and look to extend their bowl streak to eight with another solid season.
Tiger head coach Gary Pinkel said, "We're really honored to be a part of this. It's a great league. The respect that the SEC has nationally is a bit overwhelming when you become a member of it."
Much like the Aggies, the Missouri Tigers are more than happy in their new conference home. Mizzou has enjoyed some success over the past few seasons, and the Tigers think they can carry it over right away to the SEC East.
Pinkel said, "We played in a pretty good league with a team that's won some national championships over the years and certainly competed at the highest level. Hopefully that helped prepare us for coming into this league. There are just more good teams in this league. It's like the NFL, every week you play you've got to play well."
Tiger receiver T.J. Moe feels the difference in styles between what the Tigers and the rest of the SEC do on offense will give his squad an advantage. "They play football where they want to run right at you and outmuscle you and just pound the ball into the end zone. We spread 'em out wide and we try to get guys in space and use our athletic ability to score one-on-one with the guy.
Defensive back E.J. Gaines agrees. "I think the styles are completely opposite and I feel like that's what's going to make it so exciting for the SEC fans and other fan bases around each college. It's just the way that Mizzou does things offensively is just so much different than a lot of SEC schools have seen."
The Tigers return six starters on offense and seven more on defense. James Franklin threw and passed for a combined 3,846 yards and 36 touchdowns a year ago, but is coming off a right shoulder injury during spring drills.
Pinkel said, "Without question we thought he'd be 100 percent by the first game. I think it will be a little bit interesting to see him being 100 percent and to see where his accuracy is, where his tempo is throwing, those types of things. You can be cleared to be 100 percent but how are you playing? How are you functioning?"
The Tigers play their first SEC game September 8 at home against Georgia, the team picked to win the SEC East. Mizzou feels momentum from a win there could propel them to the top of the East this season.
"That's really going to set up the season for us," said Gaines. "Coach Pinkel preaches about how conference games go: you gotta win 'em if you wanna succeed and keep going on. You gotta win them, so that's how we're going to start it off."
Missouri will kick off the season September 1 at home against Southeastern Louisiana.

Rutgers (1-0) got off to a good start to the 2012 season with a 24-12 victory over Tulane (0-1) on Saturday night. After a scoreless first quarter, the Scarlet Knights got on the scoreboard early in the second with Jawan Jamison's 46-yard touchdown run. Rutgers and Tulane traded field goals before halftime to give the Knights a 10-3 advantage midway through.
It took both offenses a while to get going to start both halves, and the third quarter was scoreless like the first one was. Tulane chipped Rutgers' lead with a field goal in the fourth, but Brandon Jones picked off Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin and took it back 14 yards for the touchdown.
Gary Nova connected with Brandon Coleman for a 43-yard touchdown pass and the Scarlet Knights took a 24-6 lead. Tulane scored a touchdown late, but Rutgers was already in control by then.

The Infectious and Inflammatory Disease Center studies the relationship between the human body and the microbes that live within it. The study of infectious and inflammatory diseases is centered in the science of immunology. The investigation of immunity and microbes is synergistic with Sanford-Burnham's other areas of research—for instance, microbial infections are linked to several cancers, chronic inflammation is commonly associated with an increased risk of cancer, and inflammation is also an exacerbating component of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Remarkably little is known about the complex interplay that occurs daily between the genomes of bacteria living in the body and our own genome. Researchers in this center study infectious diseases and inflammatory diseases, side-by-side with systems biologists to apply the tools of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.
Researchers in the Infectious Diseases Program seek to better understand the molecular mechanisms of disease to combat deadly viral agents currently on the rise, and to prepare for microbial resistance to many of the antibiotics currently used to treat bacterial infections.
The Inflammatory Diseases Research Program seeks to understand the processes underlying inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the innate and adaptive immune systems and the molecular mechanisms of these diseases.
The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Program is creating new bioinformatics tools and, in collaboration with other research groups at the Institute, applying new tools and new ways of thinking to specific research projects.

Definition of myotome in English:
Syllabification: my·o·tomePronunciation: /ˈmīəˌtōm
Embryology- 1The dorsal part of each somite in a vertebrate embryo, giving rise to the skeletal musculature. Compare with dermatome, sclerotome.More example sentences
- Each somite pair corresponds to a myotome in vertebrates or to an adult segment in annelids and arthropods.
- These tissues are composites of lateral plate derived connective tissues and the migratory population of the myotome.
- Third, the partitioning of different fiber types within the myotome allows homogenous samples of each fiber type to be easily removed and tested in vitro.
- 1.1Each of the muscle blocks along either side of the spine in vertebrates (especially fish and amphibians). Also called myomere.More example sentences
- The anatomy of ray-finned fish shows many of the characteristics common to all chordates: pharyngeal slits, a nerve cord, and body wall muscles arranged in myotomes, or segmented blocks.
- The muscles of the body are segmented into blocks called myotomes.
- In vertebrates finally, the organization of muscles into myotomes for swimming has long been considered of crucial adaptative importance.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A friend and fellow gardener recently sent an e-mail with two extremely informative Web site suggestions. I'm hesitant to include them in this column, because now everyone will know where I get all of my answers!
The first is about.extension.org. It's an "Internet-based collaborative environment where Land Grant University content providers exchange objective, research-based knowledge to solve real challenges in real time."
Translation: Extension agents helping folks like us. The part of the site that's most useful to me, as a home gardener, is the "Ask an Expert" section. I tried it, with great results.
I typed in the question "Is it too late to divide Siberian Irises?" at 10 a.m. on a Thursday. After a staff meeting and a quick lunch, I sat down at the computer and found this reply:
A question you asked via eXtension's 'Ask an Expert' tool has been answered!
Question asked:
Is it too late to divide Siberian Irises?
You can divide an iris any time after blooming is completed. But, for best results, divide the plant in late summer and early fall. Fall is the best time to plant the rhizomes to allow for adequate root growth and establishment before winter. During late summer, the buds for next year's blooms are formed.
Before dividing an iris, cut the leaves to about one-third their full height. Dig up the entire clump of rhizomes. It may be necessary to wash away some soil to see just how the rhizomes look. The most vigorous rhizomes will be those on the outer sides of the clump. Carefully cut the clump apart, saving the vigorous ones and discarding the inner, leafless ones. Be sure the new rhizome has some roots, 3-4 inches of rhizome, and a fan of leaves. When separated from the clump, each division is ready to plant.
For maximum display of flowers, irises need to be dug and divided every three to four years. If iris plants have not flowered well, look for a new location during renovation.

Palestine Securities Exchange: US$120 million of dividends distributed
Ahmad Aweidah, CEO of the Palestine Securities Exchange (PSE), announced towards the end of the period of general assemblies meetings of publicly listed that the amount of dividends distributed by public shareholding companies listed on the PSE was USD 120,823,804 million for the year 2010, which brings total distribution of cash and stock dividends to more than USD 630 million for the period 2006-2010. The average annual distribution of dividends was USD 126 million.
Aweidah indicated that the dividend distribution ratio ranged from 5% to 100% for the fiscal years 2005-2009, referring to the Palestine Investment Bank as an example, when it raised its capital in 2006 via a USD 20 million free stock distribution, in addition to a further USD 3 million cash dividend distribution at USD 0.15/ share.
Aweidah referred to a statistical report indicating that at least 6 companies continuously paid dividends in the last 5 years: Ahliya Insurance Group, Bank of Palestine, Birzeit Pharmaceutical, National Insurance Company, Jerusalem Pharmaceutical, and Palestine Telecommunications. While other companies distributed cash dividends 4 times in the last 5 years: Arab Islamic Bank, Jerusalem Cigarette Company, Palestine Electricity Company, and the Palestine Investment Bank .
Looking into dividends distribution value over the past five years, Palestine Telecommunications (PALTEL) ranked first with an average of USD 60 million per year followed by Palestine Development & Investment Company (PADICO) with an average of USD 24 million per year, then Bank of Palestine (BOP) with an average of USD 16 million per year during the same period.
The report indicated that out of the 39 public shareholding listed companies(as of 31/12/2009), 20 companies engaged in dividend distribution at least once in the last 5 years.
Aweidah reaffirmed that the return on investment in the PSE ranged between 5-7% during the last 5 years which is more than 7 times the return on bank deposits which was less than 1%. Aweidah indicated that dividend ratio to market CAP of listed companies averaged 28% during the past five years, not to mention the profit investors might have gained out of trading at the PSE.
Aweidah hoped that the financial performance of the listed companies for the first half of 2010 would be consistent with the economic growth the Palestinian Territories are witnessing, and correspond to investors' and shareholders' expectations and enhance their confidence.
It is worth noting that the report included data on cash dividends distributed for the last 5 years and the value of stocks distribution at their par value. Currencies were calculated according to the average exchange rate of the USD, NIS and JOD at the end of each year.

► Rim15, the yeast ortholog of greatwall kinase, phosphorylates the endosulfine Igo1 ► Phosphorylated Igo1 directly inhibits the Cdc55-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2ACdc55) ► Phosphoproteome studies identify the transcription factor Gis1 as a PP2ACdc55 target ► The Rim15-Igo1-PP2ACdc55 branch controls quiescence and chronological life span
The TORC1 and PKA protein kinases are central elements of signaling networks that regulate eukaryotic cell proliferation in response to growth factors and/or nutrients. In yeast, attenuation of signaling by these kinases following nitrogen and/or carbon limitation activates the protein kinase Rim15, which orchestrates the initiation of a reversible cellular quiescence program to ensure normal chronological life span. The molecular elements linking Rim15 to distal readouts including the expression of Msn2/4- and Gis1-dependent genes involve the endosulfines Igo1/2. Here, we show that Rim15, analogous to the greatwall kinase in Xenopus, phosphorylates endosulfines to directly inhibit the Cdc55-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2ACdc55). Inhibition of PP2ACdc55 preserves Gis1 in a phosphorylated state and consequently promotes its recruitment to and activation of transcription from promoters of specific nutrient-regulated genes. These results close a gap in our perception of and delineate a role for PP2ACdc55 in TORC1-/PKA-mediated regulation of quiescence and chronological life span.

Culture ShockEveryone from filmmakers to spoken worders to slammers, fire throwers, drag acts, musicians, visual artists and satirical clowns have hopped onto the stage at Backroads Pizza over the past year. They've come to Santa Fe's new hipster hangout at the invitation of the legendary Cooper Lee Bombardier, a transgender visual artist and performer who hosts a monthly queer and trans performance cabaret called Lisp. Performance ReviewThe Day the Music DiedBuddy! The Buddy Holly Story at the Albuquerque Little TheatreAmong the pantheon of golden age rock and rollers, Buddy Holly is in a class by himself. He didn't have Chuck Berry's poetry or riffs. He didn't have Little Richard's erotic, animalistic fury. He didn't have Elvis' slippery voice or demonic pelvis. What Holly did have, however, was an immediately identifiable hiccupy singing style that expressed so much more than the plain meaning of his goofy, teen-oriented lyrics. He also had a choppy guitar technique that, while not as flashy as Berry's, made up for its lack of intricacy with pure, raw emotional force. (For my taste, the chord-based break in "Peggy Sue" ranks among the greatest guitar solos of all time.) Art MagnifiedDeath's DoorTricklock Performance SpaceThe Israel Solo Show Festival in Acco, Israel has traditionally only featured Arab performers. Next month, however, our very own Kerry Morrigan, of Tricklock Company fame, will be the first American ever invited to perform in the festival. Is that cool or what? Her one-woman show, Death's Door, which she performed in January during the Revolutions International Theatre Festival, showcases some of her trapeze work. Catch it now before she boards a jet bound for the land of oil and blood. Morrigan will perform Death's Door for one weekend only at the Tricklock Performance Space on Friday, June 25, and Saturday, June 26, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 27, at 6 p.m. $12 general, $9 students/seniors. 254-8393.
Art MagnifiedWild West516 Magnífico ArtspaceFor New Mexicans the subject might be old hat, but Europeans, I've noticed, are often obsessed with the Wild West. Starting this weekend, three Europeans (Stefka Ammon, Bjorn Hegardt and Godrun Rauwolf) and an American (Ethan D. Jackson) will re-examine the cultural refuse of the West in an exhibit that's traveled from Berlin to Philadelphia to Texas and finally comes to downtown Albuquerque's 516 Magnífico Artspace. The show gives us locals a chance to view our own cultural heritage through the eyes of some very perceptive outsiders. Wild West opens this Friday with a reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and runs through July 31. 242-8244.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"Super thick, quality paper and the thermography looks great with this design. They were simple and classy. Extra free envelopes provides in case we made mistakes, which does happen!"
"With three months until my wedding, I panicked. I'd looked in invitation paper stores and they all gave me 3 week delivery windows. I found wedding paper divas, entered my info and within minutes I had them ordered. In three days they were in my hands! I'm pretty picky about paper, design, etc. and the quality is great. The envelopes are basic...but they were fine for the save the date cards. I will probably buy paper source envelopes to go with the invitations. They are beautiful. I'm so impressed."
"I received my Save the Dates yesterday, and they were all absolutely perfect. They arrived on time and in a beautifully presented stationary box, carefully packaged and each one of them was completely faultless, not a single speck or smudge. The designers worked with me and got every detail just how I wanted it, and as a result I now have a simple and sophisticated card to send out to my guests. They perfectly set the tone for an elegant wedding. I strongly recommend this design for brides that want a uniquely simple and classy design and aren't wanting to be tied to set themes, colours and motifs."
"I'm so glad we discovered this product - it looks discreet but beautiful and elegant! We're absolutely happy with it! Customer service was also great and helpful! Thanks again! And the cards arrived really fast to Switzerland! We'll definitely order again!"

Maybe he needs to head on up to Detroit to take the test... That is pretty shameful and is yet another reason the "one and done rule" is ridiculous. College isn't meant for everybody. It wasn't for Rose.
Agree, but I think eligibility may be based on the sum score compared to his gpa. For example, I read he has a sum score of 64, which means he needs a gpa of 2.6 to qualify.
Article on Walker's eligibility good read http://www.cbssports.com/collegebas...ris-walker-doesnt-become-an-academic-casualty
Just made a thread for this, didn't see you'd posted it. Not trying to steal your thunder here or anything.
What's wrong with the teachers and principals at lousy schools like Holmes County High? Don't they have counselors or care enough about their students to guide them properly? The citizens of Holmes County pay for their salaries and this is all they get in return.
Yes, Walker should have known better....but the educators have absolutely NO excuse. Every kid needs some inspiration and guidance in High School....but especially high-profile athletes. When those same athletes bring awards and notoriety to a school they deserve the extra attention.
High school athletes deserve special attention from teachers and guidance counselors because of their notoriety? You sure you want to go there?
"We treat athletes better because they are better people." -Mr. Garrison Seriously though, if he is doing online classes, the only thing keeping him from finishing them is him.
I wouldn't expect much out of one of the lowest income areas in a low performing state, but it starts way before high school and the most critical component is the home environment. If he grew up in a home with few books, where he was not read to as a pre-schooler, did not read to his parents as a first grader and didn't get encouragement and help in home work, he was doomed a long time ago. People blame high schools, but high school is often too late. If you don't get a good foundation by seventh or eight grade, it's almost impossible to catch up. Imagine how much harder it is if you spend half time away from the classroom practicing or playing basketball and traveling to AAU games.
Kyle Benzion @kylebenzion 15m At the NBA Summer league, sources from the USA Today saying #UF commit Chris Walker will be ineligible. NBA D-League is an option. #Gators
Hopefully just speculation. Information can take an odd path sometimes, but wouldn't you assume this would hit UF beat writers who are talking to people before it'd be said by people from USAToday? Hope its not the case.
please no I would hope the D league is not really being considered...would rather see him use the fall semester to get eligible and join the team in the spring, for obvious reasons. Other players have done that, right? Stokes or someone else at Tennessee iirc?
Of course, REM did write "UF beat writers who talk to people." That qualifier thins the herd considerably.
Do we have true basketball beat writers? I just assumed they covered basketball when they ran out of football stories...

This is the first recipe I ever used to can apple butter. Recipe starts out with applesauce, great for any time of year. It was my first time canning and it turned out great! This would make great Christmas gifts. I gave a lot of mine away earlier this year and everybody loved it. Their only complaint: put it into bigger jars! This recipe make a dark, spicy, and sweet apple butter. Makes a great sandwich with PB. Note: 3 quarts is equal to 12 cups or 96 ounces applesauce.

Press Release #10-056
A city's architecture reflects its cultural heritage, but also its health. That is what fascinates artist Mark Iwinski and influences his work. Iwinski, this spring's artist-in-residence at St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM), will discuss his work at 4:45 p.m. Monday, April 5, 2010, in Room 321 of the college's library. This lecture is free and open to the public.
Growing up in Milwaukee in the 1960s, Iwinski watched the dramatic shift in city planning, the changing fabric of the city, and what he calls the plague of urban renewal - all of which impacted his latest work, "Terrains of Absence."
His previous works feature sculptures, prints, drawings and frescoes, and have been shown across the country, including the Springfield Art Museum; the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie; the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News; group exhibitions at the Milwaukee Art Museum; and an exhibition in 2006, "Ghost Trees and Crosscuts: Intersections Between Forest and History," at the Wriston Art Center at Lawrence University. An artist's book was published in connection with this work, which has been part of the recent internationally traveling exhibition.
Iwinski also has taught at several universities including Dartmouth College and Cornell University, and received many grants, such as the 2006 Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts grant for his printmaking and site-specific environmental work with old-growth forests. In 2008, he was awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship for a photography series; that work is planned for a major exhibition in Ithaca, New York, in 2010.
SMCM's Artist House is an artist-in-residence program for artists and writers to visit campus with two goals: 1) to offer them time and space to create new work, and 2) to develop programming so they can share their work with the campus and local community.
While in residence at the Artist House, Iwinski will be working on a project involving the State House at Historic St. Mary's City, the American Chestnut Land Trust and printing from an American chestnut stump, and an on-site project during EcoWeek at Annemarie Gardens.
St. Mary's College of Maryland, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, Kiplinger's, and The Princeton Review. Founded in 1840 as Maryland's "monument school" commemorating the state's first capital, SMCM is the state's only public honors college.
More than 2,000 students attend the college, which has the highest graduation rate for all Maryland public colleges and universities, and an SAT average for student admissions of 1848.

Humans may have helped the decline of rainforests
Geochemist Germain Bayon and colleagues from the French Research Institute for Exploration of the Sea in Plouzané, France, analyzed marine sediment cores representing the last 40,000 years, taken from the mouth of the Congo River. The team looked for geochemical markers such as hydrogen, which correspond to rainfall levels that affect natural levels of erosion, and they also looked at potassium, which erodes quickly, and aluminum, which is more immobile.
The core samples revealed evidence of severe chemical weathering starting around 1,500 BCE, a time that coincided with a period in which Bantu-speaking tribes arrived in the area, having migrated from regions near what is now the border between Nigeria and Cameroon. Chemical weathering in samples dating before this era was consistent with the changes in rainfall patterns, but by 1,000 BCE the weathering seen was decoupled from the rainfall evidence.
Chemical weathering can be caused naturally by rainfall and normal erosion, but it can be accelerated by deforestation and intensive agriculture. Since the climate was changing at the time and becoming drier, a reduction in chemical weathering would ordinarily be expected rather than the peak actually found.
The Bantu people were farmers and had developed iron-smelting techniques. Iron-Age Bantu archaeological sites have yielded ceramics, furnaces, tools, the remains of agricultural products, and a variety of iron artifacts.
Bayon and colleagues suggest, in their paper published in the journal Science, that the farmers clearing of land for agriculture and their iron smelters, in addition to the changing climate, would explain the collapse of the rainforest and its replacement by grasslands and savannas in the region. The researchers were unable to estimate to what extent human activities were responsible, but they suggest the evidence from the sediment core shows human influence was already significant.
The papers authors say their results were unexpected, but reveal that humans can have an enormous effect on the environment. While their findings do not necessarily contradict the prevailing theories, because the changing climate enabled the farmers to practice agriculture in the region, the Buntu farming practices themselves then changed the patterns of soil erosion.
The study could have implications for the current situation in the worlds largest rainforests in the Amazon, where large areas are being deforested, largely for cattle or soy bean farms, and for industrial purposes and road construction. This, together with the current changes in climate, could also result in a rapid disappearance of remaining rainforests and their replacement by grasslands, with a massive resultant loss in biodiversity, and feedback changes to the local climate. Rainfall in the Amazon is already reducing, and there have been major droughts, notably in 2005 and 2010.
Is that true England was defolresting its tree their cooking and warming . , but finally they realized the damage and so they ( brits ) derided to use coke.
Although widely believed this is not the main cause of the deforestation. Every few years some reporters will come and photograph the cattle in what was rain forest. This helps keep the false causes seeming valid.
What is the main cause is the fact that the well off in developed countries prefer beautiful wood furniture. Their demand causes a single mahogany tree to be worth more than a year of pay at the minimum salary. Many who live in the rain forest don´t earn even that, but trap and sell by the road sides parrots etc. (all illegal of course) for their cash income. They hunt and fish etc. too, but these activities use the rain forest so most don´t want it destroyed.
A tiny fraction of the locals, however, do cut down a valuable specimen tree, despite the possibility of years of jail time.* Then to hide their middle of the night crime, they set fire to that part of the forest. It will eventually burn itself out, perhaps with the smoke particles nucleating rain fall.
The soil is very poor, and the burnt over area is covered with half burned stumps and logs. Some local may try to scratch a living farming on the fire "cleared" area, but trapping wild game is usually more profitable. Eventually some wealth absentee owner will bring in heavy equipment to properly clear the land and may spend a little on fertilizer to grow some grass, and then add his cattle. Soy and sugar cane have too low a value per pound to ship 500 or so miles to market, but beef is more valuable per pound and can be profitably raised in the already cleared (burnt over) areas, but not if you must clear forest to do so (which is mainly illegal anyway and unless a politicain etc. gets him spending decades in not very plesant jail).
Brazil has the world´s toughest enviromental laws - is world leader in Green Technology. Makes plastic (see diagram below) and motor fuel from renewable sources instead of petroleum. Less than 10% of its electric power releases CO2, etc. About 10% of Brazil´s power comes from the heat of burning crushed sugar cane, but that is a slightly net negative release of CO2 as not all of the carbon removed from the air even comes the sugar plant. (The heat required for distilation is only a small part of the heat released as the crushed cane is burned.)
I could be wrong, but do not think there is any commercial scale growing of soy in land that was once rain forest. Most of that is on fertile land 500 or more miles to the south.
Summary: if you (1) own beautiful wood furniture and (2) want to know who is destroying the rain forest, go look in a mirror. But it is more comforting to blame the local poor trying to make a meager living.
* One simple, poor man living in Sao Paulo, cut some bark off a tree to make a tea for his sick wife. - He went to jail, but was later released after press coverage exposed his "crime" and compared it to the well connected clearing large tracts on the shore of water resevoirs for their private camps, where nothing can legally be constructed.
All seats for next world cup (Brazil 2014) will be "sugar seats."
Brazil is leading the world down a new, non-oil path to a green future. the main stadium in Amsterdam is now replacing its old seats with "sugar seats" - I.e. made of polyethylene that was made for sugar cane sugar as shown in figure above.Last edited by Billy T; 02-11-12 at 09:15 AM.
Is someone saying that humans have not helped the decline of rainforests?
I helped indigenous people slash and burn large areas of rainforest just so that they could afford electricity. Every year around festival time the families with land chop down 20-30 trees just so they can afford to go to the festival. Owning land with trees is like having money in the bank. Unfortunately they grow too slow to be sustainable. As Billy T said, someone comes up and picks up the lumber, processes it, and it eventually becomes furniture. And oh that mahogany is some nice wood - there's nothing nicer than a big dark Mahogany table that still has its natural shape.
Note, that they did not need to burn large areas of the forest, just to hide illegal cutting of one very valuable tree.
Brazil too, about two years ago, understood the Amazon is to big to prevent the cutting of valuable trees by someone very poor, when foreign demand makes that tree more valuable than a full year´s wages. Thus, now some parts of the Amazon can have valuable trees selectively cut under license and there is no need to burn 100 or so acres to hid the no longer illegal crime.
PS in post 2 I forgot to mention that in addition to hunting and fishing, they collect "Brazil nuts" - they only grow wild in the company of other types of trees. There have been a few attempts to plant groves of brazil nut trees and collect the nuts more economically, but all have failed - the tree will ONLY grow among others in the wild!Last edited by Billy T; 02-13-12 at 04:06 PM.

I'm sure you've heard about the big dam project under works. I wonder your opinion on it. I signed the petition already as it's the least I can do.
While newspapers and television talk about the lives of celebrities, the chief of the Kayapo tribe received the worst news of his life: Dilma, "The new president of Brazil, has given approval to build a huge hydroelectric plant (the third largest in the world). It is the death sentence for all the people near the river because the dam will flood 400,000 hectares of forest. More than 40,000 Indigenous Indians will have to find another place to live. The natural habitat destruction, deforestation and the disappearance of many species is a fact."
What moves me in my very bowels , making me ashamed of being part of Western culture, is the reaction of the chief of the Kayapo community when he learned of the decision—his gesture of dignity and helplessness before the advance of capitalist progress, modern predatory civilization that does not respect the differences
Yes this is one more example of the pain natives suffer when larger and more advanced civilization have wants that conflict with their more primitive life styles. No advanced civilization that I know of has much to be proud of when looking back on the effects the advanced society produced for the native one.
By and large, modern Brazil is much better than most. These Indians will be (I am sure) relocated on land equally as large, which will support their life style at least as well as the land they will lose to the rising waters.
Israel has the worst of all records in this respect. They have completely destroyed the Bedouin culture and rounded up the small fraction not now dead into one of three concentration camps. (They are called "enclosures" when the Hebrew is translated into English, not "concentrations camps" for obvious reasons.)
They are in the very worst part of the Negev desert - so little rain that wells only produce strong brine. - Israeli trucks bring in drinking water, but not one goat is permitted within the enclosure - this for a proud, peaceful, nomadic, goat-herding people who had Ottoman Empire deeds to the land the Israelis just took with no compensation paid. (Deeds are not valid as they are older than Israel.)*
Officially Israel herded the Bedouins into the enclosures so their children could be sent to school. But various policies have reduced the entire school age population to less than one school bus load. The most effective birth control has been the fact that escape from the enclosure for military age men is possible IF they join the IDF. Thus in the camps, you find few men, only women of fertile age, and the old of both sexes.
In less than 25 years, the last Bedouin baby will be born and 60 of so years after that the world´s only 100% effective extermination of a people will be complete - the enclosures will no longer need guards.
On one site, the new Israeli settlement being built discovered an old Bedouin grave yard. Israeli archeologists dated it as more than 5000 years old, but still the Bedouins have no right to that land needed for new Israeli settlers.
* None the less, Israel will make small payment to those Bedouins who will sign papers renouncing their land claims.Last edited by Billy T; 02-14-12 at 05:06 PM.
It's a good point Billy. For some reasons Americans like jungle people more than desert people though.
If I may go more into the dam project and why it might not be beneficial, let me just quote this book I read yesterday
Our Ecological Footprint:
Mathis Wackernagel & William Rees
...University of Manitoba Geographer Vaclav Smil suggest hydroelectricity productivities of 160 to 480 gigajoules per hectare per year for lower-course dams (in the 50 to 200 megawatt size) 1,500 to 5000 gigajoules per hectare per year for middle- and upper-course dams, and 15000 gigajoules per hectare per year for alpine high-altitude dams. Similarly, Michael Narodoslawky and his colleages at the Technical University of Graz, Austria estimate the productivity of typical hydro-power stations at about 1,500 gigajoules per hectare per year (not including space requirements of power lines) Including power-lines would reduce this ratio to approximately 1000 gigajoules per hectare per year. In contrast, David Pimentel and his team from Cornell University calculate an average hydroelectric productivity of only 47 gigajoules per hectare per year for the US, ranging from 4.5 gigjoules per hectare per year for lower course systems up to 7300 gigjoules/ha/yr. for high-altitude dams. (These latter data suggest that hydro plants that would yield less than 100 gigajoules per hectare per year - typical for biofuel - might be ecologically inefficient, particularly as dams in the lowlands flood areas of high ecological productivity. All these data indicate land-for-energy ratio of one hectare for each 1000 gigajoules of continuous generating capacity would not be unreasonable for general EF calculations (Note that this still does not account for other negative ecological effects such as impact on fisheries)...
Perhaps but of much more importance I think is who the oppressors are. If they can and do control nearly completely the flow of news about their oppression of a primitive people and never do anything sudden to achieve their annihilation (no gas chambers or firing squads, etc.) then the slow steady eradication of a people is not news worthy and certainly will not appear in US press and TV if Israel is the oppressor as that would have too great a cost to the newspaper and TV stations.
Efficiency is not of much concern if the resource is essentially free or otherwise not being economically used - as is the case with the area to be flooded by new dam.
What drives the real world is cost efficiency of meeting demands. Brazil has increasing demand for electric power as large part of its population is buying their first refrigerator, TV etc. I don´t have the numbers exact in my memory but about a decade ago >90% of Brazil´s electric power was hydroelectric. I think is it less than 80% now. If more hydro is not added, the cost per KWH will go up and that is why a few native Indians will be relocated. I.e. there are thousands who will benefit for every Indian relocated.
To illustrate how important cost is I note that the energy releases as river flow down say 500 meters is a fixed number. It can be captured by a series of smaller dams, just as well as by one big one at the low point of the 500m fall. This series of small dams would flood only a small fraction of the land that the big one does, and produce essentially the same power or energy; however they would cost more to build and for power collection system, so big dams are built, large areas are flooded.
Dams do change the way the land is used. As a youth living in W.Va. I went to the Norris Dam to fish on vacations. I am sure the net effect of that Dam has been a great economic benefit to the people living in that part of Tennessee. It was built by the Tennessee Valley Authority, TVA, and was opposed by the locals at the time of construction, but none now of the 100 or more times larger population of the area.
Thus to finally answer your question: I support the construction of this new dam, as am quite confident the next generation of even the Indians being displaced by the rising water onto larger lands will. Some of that next generation will probably return to their father´s land, as operators of touristic boats, fishing centers, rustic camps, etc. perhaps fresh water shrimp farmers, etc. The economic value of how the land is being used will increase 5 fold every decade until 2042, I am quite sure, most of which will be the power, but employment will finally be the main source of the increase.Last edited by Billy T; 02-16-12 at 11:13 AM.
This is the same as global warming theories. Is it natural, such as induced by the position of the magnetosphere's poles and the magnetic poles in relationship to the true poles, or is it because of the greenhouse effect or one feeding the other? We know most of the planet's oxygen comes from seaborne algae and phytoplankton, so this needs to be compared against the deforestation. It could also be as natural as the formation of once abundant springs that no longer feed tributories or geysers by natural depletion of the ground waters. It is too soon to tell, but in this age of expanding knowledge, inclusive of discussions like this, we may soon be able to tip the balance of evidence to resolve one way or the other.
Oh please. Stop with the sensationalism. Israel just spent 1.5 billion dollars on new Bedouin settlements. That in spite of the fact that Bedouin gangs regularly kidnap and torture refugees bound for Israel.
Egyptian authorities look the other way as Bedouin kidnap refugees
spidergoat: Your link concernes Egypt, not Israel, and criminals who happen to be of mainly of Bedouin desent, but are not Bedouins by culture or life style - just criminals in Egypt looking for a easy profit. Certainly criminals should lose their rights. Certainly these Egyptian criminals are not justification for confining peaceful Israeli Bedouins in concentration camps and confiscating their lands. Where? Will they own the land and be free to sell it and leave? Or is this just some modernization of one of the Negev "enclosures" (concentration camps with guards, in fact)?
I am not saying that in 25 or less years no Bedouin baby will be born any where in the world – just not have parents living in Israel´s Negev confinement "enclosures" Nor am I saying that there will be no "Bedouin genes" in later generations, as many young male Bedouins have joined the IDF to escape from the enclosures. Some will marry and have children. "Genetically pure" Bedouins soon will be extinct, probably even outside of Israel as most other states oppress them too.
What is an accomplished fact, more than a decade old now, is that no Bedouins live as Bedouins in the Sinai or the Negev that Israel controls. Once, for more than 5000 years, they freely roamed the Sinai and Negev with their large herds of black goats. Certainly at their peak there were more than 100,000 Bedouins divided into several tribes and perhaps half a million animals. That culture has been destroyed, even their black goats are nearly extinct, but I think a few still survive in zoos.
I am not saying that Israel, with larger, more modern, better educated population, could not, should not, do what advanced cultures almost always do to primitive peoples. I.e. put their land to more valuable economic use. It is just that it was not necessary to totally eliminate their culture by forced relocation into concentrations camps in the worst part of the Negev and now in generation more, eliminate all the Bedouins themselves in land Israel controls.
Israel could have done more like the US did – make large viable reservations where the old life style could be practiced until later generations no longer want it. Israel, could have paid them fair compensation for their lands, recognized their old Ottoman deeds etc. –It did not need economically to just confiscate their land. Perhaps Israel feared setting some precedent the Palestinian could use legally?
Brazil has many Indian tribes still living on large tracts of land and non-native can be arrested if they enter without tribal permission. Unfortunately, gold has been found on some of them and criminals do invade, and even kill, Indians, but the government does try to catch and jail these gold hungry criminals.
The ironic thing is that for practical purposes "Never Again" means never again will Bedouins live as Bedouin anywhere in the land Israel controls as they did for more than 5000 years before there even was a state of Israel.
But I will wait with hope, that you have reassuring answers to the questions I asked at the start of this post, (and credible links supporting them).
I.e. WHERE? & will they own the land and have right to sell and leave?Last edited by Billy T; 02-16-12 at 03:18 PM.

Well, here's the problem with the theory that it is fossil fuels alone that are causing the deforestation; a. agriculture b. clear cutting (manual deforestation) c. unsustainable population growth. d. longer dry seasons e. increased forest fires
As humans colonize areas and build farms on land that was once a rain forest, it completely interupts the cycles of that particular biome. But biology plays a larger part in this. Since almost all cellular life on earth needs both sugars and carbon dioxide to survive, and plants are both the greatest contributor and storage units of carbon dioxide, cutting down trees that hold a very large carbon footprint compared to smaller annual crops, which hold considerably less. More carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and is not stored, thus contributing to the rise in tempurature since Carbon Dioxide itself is a greenhouse gas and affects the atmosphere's ability to retain heat.
There are plants and trees that have a increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and those could have an impact on patterns of plant growth worldwide. There are species of plants that respond more favorably to increases in carbon dioxide than others, and we may experience global shifts in plant species that fare better in richer carbon dioxide conditions and balance it all out. The problem with that is we like to interfere, and as our population grows unsustainably, more agriculture will be needed to support that population and less attention will be paid to maintaining the balance.
There is some evidence in the amazon rainforests that trees are adapting to hold a larger carbon footprint in response and are releasing more fertilization into it's own ecology to promote sapling and growth that is being depleted by humans. It's an interesting thing;
Also, you might be interested to read this article on how letting tribes maintain the lands they have always lived in and stopping corporate and state funded poverty intiatives could help protect our delicate rain forests;

Lets assume to grow a tree it takes 30 years , how many tree would be necessary for a a clan of 10 people to build a house which normally last 30 years and to cook 2 meals for 10 persons per day the we have to multiply it for 30 years . So I visualize as population increases the end will be a complete deforestation
A field of sugar cane, grown to produce alcohol, which displaces gasoline fuel is obviously reducing the CO2 in the air annually. I.e. it preventing the release of X tons of fossil fuel carbon annually. If the field were instead a mature forest, it would be storing W tons of carbon, but not reducing the CO2 in the air every year. - It is a static system, neither adding to (assume no fires) nor reducing the CO2 in the air.
Thus in the long term, where "long term" is more than (W / X) years, even clearing forest by fire to make field for growing cane helps limit the CO2 concentration build up in the air/ however, normally the wood of a mature forest is too valuable to just burn up. I.e. about half of the wood will end up as lumber in buildings or as furniture.
Thus after approximately, W / (2X) years it better to replace even the mature forest with a field of growing sugar cane at least from the POV of reducing the global warming effects of man´s release of CO2.
Does any one have numerical values for W & X ? (So we have an idea how many years is "long term.") I would guess W / (2X) is significantly less than 20 years.

There was a TV commercial or episode in which lumberjacks were bragging about their abilities. The following conversation was included.
I did way more logging than that in the great Sahara Forrest.One of the people watching at the time claimed that north Africa was once mostly forrest/jungle & grasslands. He said that early human argicultural activities started the transition to desert. Carthage & some prior cultures were mentioned by him.
You are nuts: The Sahara is a desert.
It is now, but it was not when I was there.
I never checked into this claim & wonder if it has any validity. Note that our western dustbowls are alleged to be the result of farming activity.
Did you write the opening post yourself, or copy it from somewhere else?
There is some truth to that but mainly climate change was the cause. For about 2,000 years (10,000 to 8000 BC as I recall) there were trees, streams with fish as large as one foot long and even crocodiles in what is now only sand of the Sahara. Thousands of their remains have been found.
There is also currently serious consideration of making the Sahara green again, but in fact it is still expanding southward.

I am so dumb I can not think for my self
There is s saying in Spain . that Felipe ll deforested Spain when he build the armada to attack England . England had coal but did not wanted to use because it was dirty until they were they were forced to use coal because they were deforesting England . Mow let me hit you with this one. Thank God he prepared fossil fuels on the millions of years so that we will not deforest the land and make a desert , and we have an opportunity to develop other reusable fuels and mankind can continue live in this beautiful planet .
I hope perhaps this answer your dumb question.

I'm sorry. I can love you. I can grieve for you, or with you. I can share your pain. But I cannot judge you.
Lois McMaster Bujold
To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, or anything that is disagreeable, is not the part of a brave man, but of a coward.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
Mary Anne Radmacher
You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.

Steve Maraboli
To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. To sacrifice anything in My cause to gain something for yourself is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love. He who loves Me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see Me as I am.
Meher Baba
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama
Love, as life, is a journey. Finding true love for the ever after is an amazing achievement.
Fadi Hattendorf
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Jim Morrison
We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.
Muhammad Ali
You see, if you take pains and learn in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard; but when you work... if you love your work, you will find your reward in that.
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
But you know, it isn't designed. Love just shows up and you go, "Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half."
Jennifer Joanna Aniston
Clever men will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness; every authority rouses their ridicule, every superstition amuses them, every convention moves them to contradiction. Only force finds favor in their eyes, and they have no toleration for anything that is not purely natural and spontaneous. And yet ten clever men are not worth one man of talent, nor ten men of talent worth one man of genius. And in the individual, feeling is more than cleverness, reason is worth as much as feeling, and conscience has it over reason. If, then, the clever man is not mockable, he may at least be neither loved, nor considered, nor esteemed. He may make himself feared, it is true, and force others to respect his independence; but this negative advantage, which is the result of a negative superiority, brings no happiness with it. Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.
Henri-Frdric Amiel
Now that the wars are coming to an end, I wish you to prosper in peace. May all mortals from now on live like one people in concord and for mutual advancement. Consider the world as your country, with laws common to all and where the best will govern irrespective of tribe. I do not distinguish among men, as the narrow-minded do, both among Greeks and Barbarians. I am not interested in the descendance of the citizens or their racial origins. I classify them using one criterion: their virtue. For me every virtuous foreigner is a Greek and every evil Greek worse than a Barbarian. If differences ever develop between you never have recourse to arms, but solve them peacefully. If necessary, I should be your arbitrator. You must not consider God like an autocratic despot, but as a common Father of all; so your behavior may resemble the life siblings have in a family. On my part I should consider all equals, white or blacks, and wish you all to be not only subjects of the Commonwealth, but participants and partners. As much as this depends on me, I should try to bring about what I promised. The oath we made over tonights libations hold onto as a Contract of Love.
Alexander III
He hated to leave, but he loved his work. He was a man, and men needed to work. More sexism! More masculine tunnel vision! More need for gender-sensitivity workshops!
Sherman Alexie
One must not think slightingly of the paradoxical for the paradox is the source of the thinkers passion, and the thinker without a paradox is like a lover without feeling: a paltry mediocrity.
Sren Kierkegaard
This is one of the paradoxes of the democratic movement -- that it loves a crowd and fears the individuals who compose it -- that the religion of humanity should have no faith in human beings.

For most of my adult life, I've felt like there is extra skin around my vulva, and it has made me feel uncomfortable to be nude in front of my current boyfriend and all of the boyfriends I've ever had. No one has ever said anything about it, but I've looked at men's magazines, and my vulva looks nothing like the models in the pictures. How can I know if my vulva is normal?
— Melissa
Don't look though men's magazines to determine if your vulva is "normal," because those pictures are all air-brushed and the vulva is coiffed and made all pink and perfect and small and symmetrical, and that is not what real women look like. I would check out the DVD
Viva La Vulva
to see a real variety of what real women's genitals look like.
It may be that you have larger labia majora that sorts hangs a little bit, and then you have the labia minora, so it looks like you have extra skin, but you really have two sets of lips like everyone else. Labia come in all different sizes and shapes.
The research I have done shows that a woman with a poor genital self-image is six times less likely to ever have been sexually satisfied than a woman with a good genital self-image. Releasing yourself from this belief that you are abnormal or strange looking or that your genitals are unattractive is really going to release you sexually as well and help you better enjoy a healthy sex life.
