Stuart Townend (headmaster)
|Medal record
|Men's Athletics
|Competitor for England
|British Empire Games
|1930 Hamilton
|4×440 yd relay
Lt-Col Henry "Stuart" Townend OBE (24 April 1909 – 26 October 2002) was the first headmaster to educate an heir to the British throne. A former gold medallist at the British Empire Games, he founded Hill House School, in Knightsbridge, London in 1951, an institution he continued to actively run until his death in 2002 at aged 93. At that time it was reportedly the world's largest private junior school with over 1100 pupils.[1]
Townend championed a "stripped down to basics" approach to independent education that enabled him to keep his fees among the lowest in the country, despite its location in Knightsbridge, one of the most expensive parts of the capital. Despite limited financial resources, the school excelled academically, consistently helping its boys into top public schools like Eton College, Harrow School, Westminster School and St Paul's School and its girls into Benenden School, Wycombe Abbey and Roedean.
Townend famously declared in 1999 that the school's principles were "back to front". He explained: "We put safety first – any teacher who leaves a child unsupervised is sacked on the spot – and then the child's happiness. If a child's happy and loves coming to school, he or she can do anything. Discipline and good manners come next and, last of all, preparation for the next school."
Born on 24 April 1909, Townend was the son of a clergyman, attending St Edmund's School, Canterbury. As a young man Townend excelled at sport and athletics, becoming a schoolboy hockey international[clarification needed]. He went up to Brasenose College, Oxford in 1928, where he became president of the Oxford University Athletic Club and winner of six Oxford University blues.
In 1930 he won a gold medal at the British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario, in the 4x440 yard relay.[2] After university, he joined the Royal Artillery in 1931, where he served for 16 years, attaining the appointment of Assistant Adjutant-General, World Wide Air Movements at the War Office.
Townend retired from the army in 1947 to become housing chairman of the London Olympics, organising the accommodation at short notice for the athletes and officials attending the event to be held the following year. There was no time or money to build athletes' villages, and 3500 of the athletes and sportsmen were put in three camps in Richmond Park, Uxbridge and High Wycombe. The remainder and all the officials were put up in 41 schools and colleges across London. As a reward for his efforts, he was given an OBE in 1949.
He contested the Torquay division of Devon for the Liberal Party at the 1950 General Election.[3]
Hill House opened its doors in 1951. In 1956 the school got a lift to its reputation when Prince Charles attended the school as pupil. It was the first time an heir to the British throne had been sent to school, as opposed to being educated by private tutors.

Great experience
I had a meal there yesterday, as I bought a Groupon voucher.
The food was excellent. We ordered the following dishes: (1) spicy maguro, (2) Iberian pork loin, and (3) wagyu beef served in some soup/gravy (I can't remember the exact name of the dish). Portions were not large though.
The service was excellent as well. The person taking our orders was friendly and gave her recommendations on the menu without pressuring us to order the more expensive...

PowerBlock 24 lb Adjustable Dumbbell Set 45 45
Overall excellent product Very easy to change weights. Very easy to use. Sturdy. August 31, 2014
Love it. The weights in this set are perfect for me personally, and having an adjustable dumbbell set like this is so much more convenient than having just a bunch of separate free weights laying around. Totally worth the money! August 1, 2014
easy to use, sturdy The process of selecting the desired weight is intuitive, but relies on a color coding system. So if you're color blind you would need to count the number of slots to know where to slide in the selector pin. An improvement to make it simpler would be to print the weight directly onto the coating on each side bar. The selector pin appears to be a little flimsy (plastic), but it seems that the design is very good so that I wouldn't expect the pin to be put under enough pressure to break. I was worried that the interlocking weights would shift around a lot while using them, but there is very minimal sliding, which hasn't caused any problems with balance. July 2, 2014
Great product This is the best dumbbell set I ever purchased easy to use and well constructed I recommend anybody to purchase this set it is great. May 30, 2014
GREAT TOOL I like the facility of using the set which, for the number of different weight choices, takes up a very small space. May 26, 2014
Compact and easy to use I just started using these. I really like them. They are compact and easy to store. We have a 5th wheel and when we travel they are easy to take. They are the perfect weight for me and simple to change the poundage of the weights. I would recommend them for people who work out at home. May 26, 2014
Not Tripping Over Different Size Weights I'm not tripping over different size weights anymore!! The weights stay stacked together neatly in a corner. It takes a couple of seconds to change sizes. My only complaint is that the mechanism to change/lock the weight in place is plastic. I am very careful because breakage would render the weights useless That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. It's still a very unique addition to my workout arsenal. May 7, 2014
Easy to use This is a great dumbbell set. It's easy to change the weights and they don't take up a lot of space. April 9, 2014
Well worth the money I bought this so we wouldn't have multiple dumb bells of varying weights sitting around. It is very easy to change the amount of weight. The 3 pound increment is great as sometimes 5 pounds is too much of a change. If I ever reach a point where 24 pounds is not enough, I will purchase this brand that goes up to 50 pounds., March 20, 2014
Just what I was looking for! These dumbbells are just what I was looking for! Easy to use and convenient to store. March 12, 2014

Over 300,000 of those people live in the capital province of Baghdad, which was at the heart of the fighting for control of the country during the 2005-2008 sectarian civil war. Many of them live in squalid squatter camps. At the same time, thousands of Iraqi refugees are returning at present, in part driven by the unrest in neighboring countries.

text: Ted Cruz: Breitbart.com Symbolizes 'Fantastic Democratization' of News Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 1 Mar 2014 post a comment Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has said the grassroots revolution sweeping across the country today mirrors the one that propelled Ronald Reagan to the White House, and the conservative stalwart said that Breitbart.com represents the democratization of the news that was once controlled by just a few elites in the legacy press. Appearing on the inaugural edition of Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, Cruz said that "what Breitbart does is so important" because it helps conservatives bypass those in the legacy media who once were the sole gatekeepers. Cruz was speaking to Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon--who, along with a rotation of Breitbart News editors and contributors, will host the weekly show from 10 AM to 1 PM EST. "If we were still in the world of 30 years ago when there were three networks that decided what the news was, then nothing you and I are talking about would have made it through the filter," Cruz said. "But there has been a fantastic democratization of the news where we can go directly to the people." Cruz also praised "American citizens who are becoming their own journalists" and spreading the word to their friends and neighbors. "That's how we turn this country around," Cruz said before noting that citizen journalists give him "hope and optimism" for America's future. As Breitbart News reported, the late Andrew Breitbart and Cruz bonded well before Cruz became a household name. Bannon told Cruz that Breitbart respected his fearlessness and said he was one of the rising stars that he most admired and supported before his tragic passing. Bannon said that the late Breitbart hated Washington politicians, and he saw in Cruz a kindred spirit who was an anti-establishment figure who wanted to reform the country's institutions. "One of the things Andrew understood is that real political power is not found in Washington," Cruz said. "It's not in elected officials. Sovereignty resides with 'We the people.'" Cruz delivered a toast to the late Andrew Breitbart at CPAC in 2013 after the grassroots helped him defeat the GOP establishment in the 2012 Texas GOP Senate primary. Cruz toasted Breitbart last year as a "great and fearless leader" whose "unshakable and fearless" spirit was dearly missed. He thanked bloggers and the grassroots on the "front lines taking the country back" and said the more the establishment and the mainstream media quiver, "the better job we're doing." "Andrew was an extraordinary patriot," Cruz told Bannon on Breitbart News Saturday. "He was fearless. His loss is felt every day." The debut of Breitbart News Saturday aired on the two-year anniversary of the tragic death of Andrew Breitbart.

Free Nursing Essays - Ethical, Legal and Professional Issues in Nursing: Autonomy may or may not always be possible to maintain within the nursing profession
In this essay we will take a critical look at the concept of autonomy and whether it is possible to maintain autonomy at the nursing and patient levels. For our purposes we will first discuss the concept of autonomy, autonomy within the nursing and medical profession and whether complete autonomy to nursing professionals is feasible.
Conceptually autonomy indicates something independent or not dependent on anything else. According to the self-determination theory proposed by Ryan and Deci (2000) autonomy is referred by contrasting autonomous support and control and hypothesizes that autonomy-supportive social contexts tend to facilitate self-determined motivation, healthy development, and optimal functioning. Considering this, it is only expected that increased autonomy in decisions taken by nurses or patients can increase motivation, improve work culture and can prove to be very effective for general enhanced functioning of the clinical setting. Autonomy is also seen as a learning opportunity as individuals learn from their experience and learning contexts whch help to raise their awareness of their potentials and strategies to enabe them to take better advanatge of their situations.
Autonomy Issues in Nursing?
There are two aspects of autonomy, from the perspective of nurses and the perspective of patients. We will discuss autonomy issues within nursing, discussing in brief some concerns and necessities of patient autonomy perspectives as well. In this study we discuss the case of 55-year old patient Mr. J with respiratory failure who has been subjected to artificial life supporting ventilator. Mr. J's case is a challenging one for the nursing profession considering social, legal and ethical issues and issues of both patient and nurse autonomy. We discuss some relevant studies below to support our case.
Proot et al (2002) discuss a relevant study in which 27 health care providers from three different nursing homes were interviewed about autonomy issues concerning stroke patients in rehabilitation wards. This study is mainly focused on nurses perceptions of patient autonomy and a core category of changing autonomy was developed identifying the process of stroke patient regaining their autonomy with dimensions such as self determination, independence and self care. The factors affecting this process are the conditions or circumstances, the strategies of patients, strategies of care providers and families and the strategies and policies of the nursing home. The authors suggest that only a team-based approach can increase patient autonomy and this can be aided by education and guidelines, as well as coordination of the process of changes in patient autonomy.
Indirectly pointing out to the autonomy of nurses in making decisions and involving patients rather than doctors in these important decisions, Brier-Mackie (2001) argues that nurses are being increasingly faced with situations where they may have to take important decision along with the patents on issue such as withdrawal treatment or prolongation of life. Nurses play a central role in the care of dying people and they may also find themselves powerless by medical paternalism and continue to remain ill equipped in decision-making process in end of life situations of terminally ill patients. Brier-Mackie examines the ethical relationships between patient autonomy and medical paternalism for end of life care in terminally ill or incurable patients. The nurse has a unique role as the voice, support and advocate of the patient although the important issue of patient autonomy as opposed to doctors' orders cannot be ignored. The paper tends to question whether nurses are able to overcome doctors commands and medical paternalism to voice out patients opinions and help doctors to listen. There may be considerable differences of nurse and doctor perception s far as patient autonomy is concerned.
In Mr. J's case, whether the ventilator system supporting the patient should or should not be removed depends on nurses' perception and opinions on end of life decisions and care. 55 year old Mr. J is terminally ill, has suffered from several cardiac arrests that paralyzed him completely, and his condition is incurable. In this condition, his physician's decision to remove life support and ventilator systems ay have t be weighed long with Mr. J 's own wish to live or die. Within the nursing perspective, as we have seen from studies already discussed, nurses face the increasing social and ethical challenge of understanding patients' wishes on one hand and listening to doctors' decisions on the other. In this condition, it is important to consider the features of nursing practice that make autonomy a necessity.
A general respect for autonomy in nursing practice is required as suggested by van Thiel ad van Delden (2001). They point out that respect for autonomy is a core element of normative views on enhanced care services offered. The general research focus on autonomy is on independence and self-determination when it comes to clinical decision-making. However the authors argue that this is too narrow an interpretation of autonomy in the clinical setting and care in the nursing homes are subject to other definitions and influences. The authors indicated form their findings that caregivers in nursing homes seemed to value different notions of respect for autonomy under different situations. They point out that no significant differences have been noted in the opinions of doctors and nurses or between male and female hospital staff. So a necessity for a multidimensional understanding of autonomy considering several related factors and an open-minded attitude to the principle of autonomy are basic factors in the theory for respect to personal autonomy.
Considering a team based approach, a circumstantial approach or the importance of nurses' perception in delineating patient autonomy, it is also important to keep in mind that autonomy within the nursing practice is itself a growing and important area of study.
Madsen (2005) explores the role of the untrained nurse and argue that despite the increased prevalence and need of trained nurses, the number of nurses without any formal nursing training whatsoever continue to increase in hospitals. Although untrained nurses were given primary private duties initially, things are being changed increasingly as more and more untrained nurses are working under the supervision of trained nurses. This adds to the historical evolution of the nursing profession as autonomy of untrained nursing professionals are being dramatically decreased. However with the improvement in professional standards of nursing drastically in the last few decades, we have to examine whether the reverse is true and whether autonomy for trained nurses has increased considerably.
In certain areas of medical practice, the expanded role of nurses and their new powers of prescribing drugs or performing surgery may be seen as increased levels of autonomy in which the nurses do not have to consult the physicians before administering drugs to a patient or performing an operation.
Increased autonomy and professional judgment of nurses has bee taking up importance in recent research studies and Flynn and Sinclair (2005) emphasizes that nursing practice no longer relies on tradition or rituals and is based on empirical evidence and research. Evidence based practice or nursing, reflective practice, standardization of nursing practice and production and maintenance of nursing protocols, policies and guidelines are the various important aspects of nursing care that have direct relevance to nursing autonomy. A careful examination of nursing theory, policies and the actual practice provides significant insights into the experiences of the nurses in relation to the policies and highlights how nurses perceive and adapt to these guidelines and whether they see these as hindering or favoring autonomy and independence within their practice.
In Mr. J's case, several social issues are being considered and these include:
1. Mr. J's own wishes regarding life support or specific wishes on death or life
2. The decision of Mr. J's family, their desires on whether doctor recommended life support system should be removed
3. A proper consensus to be reached between health care tea of professional, doctors and nurses and Mr. J's family, relatives and the patient's own wishes.
4. Nurses face the challenging role of mediators who conveys patients and family wishes to doctors.
5. Costs incurred by the healthcare department to support a terminally ill patient have to be considered
The ethical issues in removing Mr. J's life support system are many and span
1. Questions on life and death and whether natural death should be preferred as opposed to forced death
2. whether it is ethical to keep an incurable patient in a persistent vegetative yet painful state
3. or whether it is ethical to remove life supporting system s to hasten death in patients
Consideration of patient and patent's family members' wishes may be given priority
As there are several legal issues involved
1. Human rights or right to live is one of the arguments given by human rights group who oppose euthanasia
2. most legal opponents of forced death may however suggest patient autonomy and completely independent decision making by the patient as to whether e want to live or die as the only legal criteria for justifying such acts. However patent autonomy might not work in many cases as in most cases, terminally ill patients on life support systems may not be able to decide for themselves.
Brewster has discussed the implications of nurse prescribing for stoma care patients and other studies suggest the possibility and actual practice of extrapolating nurse expertise in several previously physician controlled domains. Shermann (2005) points out that the expanded role of nurses with increased responsibilities are only preparing nurses as future leaders of the clinical setting as they continue to remain the major force behind care and treatment schedules of patients. The need for strong nurse leaders has been emphasized in the study.
In this essay we discussed the case of Mr. J who has been terminally ill and suffers from respiratory problems following several cardiac arrests and in his condition the wish to die or live by removing or maintaining life support systems is an important decision that has to be taken by M. J, his family, his physicians and nurses. Mr J's condition highlights successfully the legal, ethical and social issues that surround and shape both patient and nurse autonomy as patient's decision on important treatment issues may be conveyed by nurses to doctors and the nurses in turn, with increasing autonomy and independence can also help the patient in taking decision. Both patient and nurse autonomy are examined as closely related and influencing nursing practice than possibly any other singular aspect of the nursing profession. However as we have seen, there are many controversies on patient and nursing autonomy that adds to the complications of the situation.

Brooklyn Steak Company - Delicious new restaurant
We're looking for a restaurant to have a birthday party for my MIL, and we stumbled upon the Brooklyn Steak Company on Avenue M between E. 13 and E. 14. They only opened within the past 2 months so they don't show up on all the regular Jewish restaurant guides yet.
Wow! What an incredibly wonderful place.
Obviously they are a meat restaurant with lots of steak, but they have so much more, interesting, food.
They gave us one of their appetizers, "Tongue in Cheek" to sample, and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. It's layers of beef cheek and veal tongue, but so soft and tender and tasty that it's indescribable.
I urge you to try it.
Oh, ha ha, this is funny. The hashgacha is under a Rabbi Gornish. The owner, Sarah (lovely), is Israeli and speaks no Yiddish. When we asked about the hashgacha she said, simply, Gornish. We honestly thought she's saying there's no mashgiach. She didn't realize and once we cleared it up, she told us that, in fact, some people have called and asked about the hashgacha, and when she said Gornish the people hung up quickly.
re: DevorahL
Here;s the menu http://www.greatkosherrestaurants.com...
I guess the cuisine would be called New American. The ambiance is calm and low key. Everything is very nice and new and clean and freshly painted, but I wouldn't go there to be dazzled by the decorating.
Not to hate on Brooklyn Steak Co.—'cause overall I like what they're going for—but Tongue in Cheek is a French Laundry dish that was created years ago.
So no points for innovation on that one…
I was just there and it was probably one of the greatest dining experiences ever. to start we got the beef poppers which were delicious and the roasted pear and baby kale salad which just totally astounded us it was without question the best salad ive ever eaten. moving on to mains we got the lamb gnocchi (amazing dish) and the short rib of beef which once again totally knocked our socks off. it was just so juicy and tender it melted in my mouth like butter. for dessert we got Fried Cheesecake its a tofu-based creation with a brownie center wrapped in cornflakes and deep-fried, with a taste and flavor indistinguishable from the real thing it was definitely amazing. overall i would definitely rate this restaurant a 10 out of 10 and i encourage everyone to eat there and enjoy!
re: herztatty
That was my experience too. I'm busy cleaning and cooking now to give you the entire rundown of our meals, but we went there with another couple and each ordered something different so we could taste a little of everything. Wonderful, but especially great was how tender and juicy and deliciousl everything was.
Loved the beef poppers!
My husband and I had dinner at Brooklyn Steak Company yesterday and loved it! I was very impressed with the menu choices, the food was incredible, and prices were quite reasonable considering the quality. Here is my detailed review:
Decor/Ambiance: Fine, but nothing special at all. A little more attention to the room decor, lighting, music, etc., would help make the place feel as special as the food tastes.
Service: Friendly but rather unprofessional. There was no hostess stand--when we arrived, we had to walk through the restaurant to find someone to seat us. Throughout our meal, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive, but clearly unprofessional in the way they spoke, cleared the table, etc. Again, not a big deal, but just something that could be improved to elevate the experience.
Freebies: So many restaurants these days skimp on bread for the table and other freebies, so it was really a delight to be served a basket of homemade potato chips and a bread board with a baguette and olive oil, balsamic, and a homemade tomato jam for dipping. A great start!
Appetizers: We ordered the beef poppers and tongue in cheek dish. The beef poppers were yummy, but the tongue in cheek was a real standout--the meat had been braised in port wine and was unbelievably flavorful and velvety. It was served with a tart prune sauce that complemented it perfectly.
Entrees: My husband had a boneless ribeye, which was just a tad more cooked than he wanted it but was otherwise perfect. I had the lamb gnocchi with mushrooms, which was generously portioned and had the deepest, most umami-rich flavor of anything I've eaten recently. Truly amazing.
Dessert: We shared the fried cheesecake, which was three balls of parve cheesecake with a chocolate center, rolled in cornflake crumbs and deep fried, served with chocolate sauce. Decadent, indulgent, and crowd-pleasing.
Overall, I think despite some flaws in the ambiance and service that can easily be corrected, Brooklyn Steak Company hits that sweet spot between a classic, ordinary steakhouse that is boring to more adventurous foodies, and a Pardes-type place that is fun for foodies but off-putting to traditionalists. There is something for everyone. But no sushi--thank God for that!
re: DevorahL
Devorah, Is it a destination restaurant? as in, you would drive to Brooklyn to eat there even if you had no other reason to go to Brooklyn because the food is that good?
Or is it more like great food, best kosher steakhouse this side of the East River?
re: AdinaA
That's a good question. It depends what you care about most in a restaurant meal. The food itself is destination worthy. I actually got to speak to the chef for a minute and it is obvious that he really knows what he's doing and has the passion, care, knowledge and ambition that is sadly lacking in many kosher places. (He is about to switch to a summer menu with sous-vide brisket and some other intriguing sounding dishes.) However, the overall ambiance is no better than "fine", so if you are looking for the "fancy restaurant experience" you will not find it there.
I hope that helps!

This morning, Principal Valerie Brown of Bess T. Shepherd Elementary asked her students if they could have anything to help them learn better, what would it be?
Not just money or textbooks, she told them, but technology. Specifically, the 169 Chromebooks she revealed the school has bought for their students and staff, through a $50,000 grant from the Leonore Annenberg School Fund for children.
Brown said the Chromebooks will stay at the school, but they will help the students keep up with their peers technologically, as well as help them with other leadership skills.
"They'll use the technology that we get to blog with one another or people from around the world to solve problems, and we want it to be able so we can have a kind of think wall, but they'll be doing it electronically," Brown said.
Christa Payne, vice president of external affairs for the Public Education Foundation (PEF) in Chattanooga, said the school was chosen for the grant after applying and meeting all of the criteria, including at least an 85-percent poverty rate.
"We invite every school who hasn't won in the past four years to apply," she said. "Then we review in conjunction with the district their applications, and then we choose."
She said all of the teachers will receive adequate training with the Chromebooks, and that the initiative is similar to other "1 to 1" programs already implemented in the district, where each student and staff member is given a computer.
"We want to make sure these teachers have support so that they're effective," she said.
They already have professional development planned for the teachers.
The schools got to choose what to spend the money on, and Payne said both schools decided to go with the Chromebooks, based on the success in other low-income schools.
"It's totally up to the schools, but I think what's important is for both schools, its not about the technology it's about the instruction that comes behind it," she said.
PEF will be making a second announcement at East Lake Elementary School today at 11:30 a.m.

Found this on another recipe website when I was searching for chickpea recipes. Love this - make it regularly and have passed it on to numerous friends and family. Is gluten-free if served on rice. Only requires 1 fresh ingredient (my basic criteria) and can be sized up and frozen with great success. It seems very similar to Ciao's #66380 which I will have to try soon.

Red Sam Lyrics - Flyleaf
Review The Song (23)
Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings
There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you
But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life
The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you
But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life
My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

Reply to the one writing about freewill, Wicca, and Christianity. | Reviewer: Ilovethisband | 3/28/14
Christianity does NOT tell you to hate ANYONE. In fact, it tells you to love ANYONE and EVERYONE no matter what. Also, something crucial for Christianity to be true is for there to be FREEWILL. Jesus condemns no one. He does not MAKE you ask for forgiveness. One can only choose to be saved. That is where freewill comes in. If everyone will be saved (and believe me, i would LOVE to say that) will it be with there consent or without?
Flyleaf, this song, Christianity | Reviewer: Desiree | 4/1/13
I have struggled cutting since my mother was murdered.i loved it at first, such an amazing escape.But i've grown to hate it. It is very addicting.I just wasnt living, always focused on the bad things and when i could cut again.I went too church but it was just the same thing over and over, i just didnt care. I got into the wrong crowd, started to listen to rock...of all kinds.Then a lady in my church introduced me to Strong Tower Ranch. Since then i have had a relationship with Christ. Its been 3 years of me, Strong Tower, Flyleaf, and my church. I finally have my cutting under control.
I understand all of the misconceptions about Christianity.But, before you hate it,do your own research.There are many church that claim to be Christian,but twist the Bible to suit them.Just watch what you take to heart.I pray everyday for those who have only seen darkness, the twisted Word of God, and who struggle with cutting and depression like me.Flyleaf helped me find my hope.No matter what helps you find your hope, remember THERE IS HOPE.
Love you guys.and God has a plan for your life
red sam. | Reviewer: miranda | 4/7/11
this song goes way deeper then cutting or religion. i personaly dont find cutting good because i did it at one point but stopped because i knew people around me cared like family doing that for attention is sick because there are real people who really need someone to just talk to them or be there for them through the rough times. we all have a hard time some point in our lives weither we turn to god or a friend or cutting there are many paths to take in life and we learn from each of them. i do belive in god but i dont like some churches because they do judge and thats not what church is about. its about healing and you getting closer to god. not dragged down deeper. its a place where love & peace should be shown & personaly i dont mind if people dont belive in god i dont push it on them or any of that because that also just scares people into religon which i find horribly wrong.
True Christianity | Reviewer: Robert Pierce | 12/17/10
It seems many people have a false idea of what Christianity is. In true Christianity, women are equal, hate is condemned, and life and love are cherished. The Bible does say for a woman to submit to her husband, but it also says for the husband to treat the wife as if she was himself, as they are one. Woman are not inferior, they simply have a different role that men cannot accomplish as easily, and vise-versa. Christians don't hate people who are different than them. They love them and want them to go to Heaven with them.
idiots | Reviewer: blah | 3/29/10
to the person who wrote the review sins: christianity isn't the only religion out there. are you gonna try to convince buddhists or jews that their religion is bad? you know who else committed a "sin"? the so-called christians who came over and wiped out almost an entire nation of people (the "discovery" of america). isn't THAT hate? to mel: cutting releases a chemical that makes the body feel good. it also releases a lot of stress, especially among teenagers. it can sometimes be addictive, like smoking or drinking. depression is stressful, so it can lead to cutting. and depression is a medical condition. on a nicer note: flyleaf is awesome!!!
sins | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/10
to the one below who said they discovered wicca.
I don't know what kind of church your friend brought you to but it doesn't sound like God was in it. There are a lot of churches that don't realize that they left Jesus at the door knocking to let Him in and they can't even hear Him. True Christians LOVE everyone, they do not hate those who are different like you were taught by that church. We, who have God living in our hearts begin to hate sin but never people. And we hate sin because it's the only thing that separates us from God, it's what makes him seem so far away at times. And sin isn't just doing 'bad stuff', even not having complete faith in His plan is sin. In fact, the moment we are born we are already sinners through inheritance because of Adam's sin in the beginning.
So here is the simple, beautiful, and good truth. God doesn't all of a sudden decide to condemn us to hell because we lied once... We are already headed there from the beginning... But Gos doesn't want any of us to perish! So he sent His one and only begotten son here to die on the cross - Jesus, a pure sacrifice with no sin, with an inherent worth of more than all of our worth combined - and with His death on the cross was the death all of our sins. For the wages of sin are eternal death. He paid our wages FOR us! Through Him we are saved, He has already paid the price! And all we have to do for eternal life in the kingdom of God is to call on Him and REPENT of our sins and BELIEVE Jesus is our savior! You don't need some priest, YOU can talk to God. It's your personal relationship with Jesus... And He will show you your purpose in life, you will feel infinite love and know why you're here.
And THAT is Christianity! Not hating people that are different from you! Your friend's church needs help, they need prayer! And maybe you're the one who needs to be praying for them! God bless you and may you find your way
excuse me, anonymous? | Reviewer: mel | 11/17/09
okay, i would just like to point out that a few comments below this one, an anonymous person said that people who cut themselves arnt really depressed, they just want attention. thats utter BULL SH*T why would ANYONE cut themselves, inflict a pain greater than the one in their heart for ATTENTION? that pissses me off. so the ones who KILL themselves because no one cares at all, because there are people like YOU.i sure do hope he/she/it checks back and reads this. f***ing dumb a**. how many people's hearts have you broken? how many lives have you destroyed?
wicca and christ and this song. | Reviewer: in love with someone thats killing me | 11/15/09
i did something for years that im not proud of. i cut my stomach and wrists. it helped at first, shallow cuts. but then they needed to be deeper. my friend saw the ugly scars and brought me to church. the belifs there were...impsible for me to grasp. hate those who arn't like you? dont feel anger, or envy? those are EMOTIONS people, tey are there for a reason. so i reserched an old religion, wicca. it was perfect. close to the earth, women equal in socioty, and we have a little something called FREE WILL. this sng really helped me, to get away fro people who calledme a 'satenist' or 'devil worshiper'. even the friend who tried to tie me down to christianity left. even tho this is a 'christian`'band, i am allowed to listen to it. wha they talk about....it changedmy life around. a godess who loves me no matter what,nota god that forces you to ask for forgivness. the lady already forgave you, long before you 'sinned'.
reply to Gabbie | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/09
I used to cut about two years ago. I was really depressed, I was in a really bad spot in my life. I stopped after I for my religion. Only I didn't find Christ... I found the Goddess. I'm Wiccan. When the times get tough, instead of hurting myself, I repeat a mantra to myself.
Air I am, Earth I am, Fire, Water, Spirit I am.
Or... one that is really nice...
We all come from the Goddess, and to her we shall return, like a drop of rain, flowing to the ocean.
I just remember that the Goddess is there for me and that I'm not alone. (Also my friends help a lot)
Now. How about that Flyleaf?
awesome song | Reviewer: gabbie | 5/11/09
I have been going to this church and got really close to God and I HAD A LOT OF PAIN IN MYSELF AND I NEVER CUT MYSELF BUT MY SISTER HAS AND NOW SHE DOESNT BECAUSE SHE FOUND THE LOVE SHE NEEDED IN God and so did i and now im saved by Jesus Christs love because he healed all my wounds so to those who cut urself get close to God hes all the love u need
Red Sam | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/22/09
Honestly, i like how people read one line in a song and assume that it is what the song is about. Admitting you cut your wrists doesn't prove anything, in fact it doesn't make you sound that cool. I will admit i have cut my wrists at one point in my life when god refused to help me. But i look back now and see how stupid that was to do such a thing. I've gone through a lot in my life and sometimes it feels like god really isn't there for me, i can understand how some people feel that way. And for those of you who do cut your wrists now, well its not because you want to die, its because you feel ignored and want the attention. And its not worth it.
red sam! best song! | Reviewer: jazmine | 1/23/09
i am a cutter i have been for like 5 years now and i will probly never stop because i dont want to i love it it just feels so good and i definetley believe in god and have alot of faith in him but sometimes i wonder why he makes things so shitty but thatswhy i love this song...because its so real
Red Sam | Reviewer: Erica | 1/2/09
I love this song. I can so relate to some of it. I am a cutter and I know for a fact I will never stop cutting because I don't want to because I absolutly love it. I'm not a big God person. I'm a wiccan but i love how they fit problems such as self mutalation into songs in a subtle way.
Red Sam | Reviewer: samantha | 9/23/08
I really like this song. This might sound stupid, but it reminds me of myself. to tell you the truth though, i have ventured so far away from God. I have a boyfriend who doesnt really like me for me, he likes me for what i look like. I am surrounded in an unbelievably sinful enviroment, and i have recently been slitting my wrists. i dont know why.. i just had seen the knife in the kitchen, and i snuck it to my room and locked the door. i felt as if it were not me sitting there, watching the blood bubble up from the cuts. i felt as if something had possessed me and im just watching my life pass. i heard this song on a cd my brothers friend had given him, and I could really relate to it. I am amazed at Flyleaf's songs. they have such deep meaning.
GREAT SONG | Reviewer: Nik0l | 5/29/08
this reminds me of a girl in a story i am writing (her father beats her, and she is afraid to talk to anybody, but one ofh his guards always comes and comforts her, but she cant see his face so she doesnt know who it is taht is helping her)

November 26, 2014
WEST LIBERTY, Ohio (AP) -- A western Ohio high school runner is being praised for her sportsmanship after helping a struggling competitor finish their race at the state track meet.
Meghan Vogel of West Liberty-Salem High School had won an earlier race but was in last place in the 3,200-meter run Saturday as she caught up to Arlington sophomore Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of zipping past McMath to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel decided to help. She put McMath's arm around her shoulders, dragged her the final 20 meters and pushed her competitor over the finish line before crossing it.
Vogel tells the Springfield News-Sun she's humbled by the supportive messages she's since received from friends and strangers.
Vogel says she believes other distance runners would've done the same thing.

text: Ian Gabbert – Ulpha 23 Thursday Aug 2012 Posted by Author in Cumbria ≈ Comments Off June 2014 CONVICTED pervert from South Cumbria has avoided a jail term after breaking the terms of his sex offenders order. Ian Gabbert, of Pannel Holme, Ulpha, apperaed at Preston Crown Court on Friday where he was yesterday given a 10-month prison sentence at suspended for two years. The 23-year-old, who is in the lower five per cent of the country in terms of IQ, had travelled to Carlisle to meet two girls, aged 14 and 15, last year. In June 2011 Gabbert was sentenced to two years in youth custody after pleading guilty to five offences, one count of sexual activity with a 14-year-old, one of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old, two charges of child abduction He was released in March 2012 on licence but, under the terms of his sex offenders order, he was given an indefinite ban from unsupervised contact with children under 16. The ban forbade him from contacting, approaching, speaking to or touching any child under 16, unless supervised by an adult, or with the consent of the child's parent and guardian, who had full knowledge of his offending. Mr Jeremy Grout-Smith, prosecuting, told the court the father of one of the girls contacted police last August, concerned by what he saw on her Facebook page. Gabbert had travelled by train to Carlisle to meet her and her friend "six or seven" times. Gabbert told one girl he wanted to be her boyfriend and that he loved her, but she only wanted to be his friend. Mr Andrew Scott, defending, told the court: "The defendant in some ways doesn't realise the severity of what he has done. He finds it difficult in understanding certain matters. "He doesn't hide behind what he has done. He is hard working. "He just needs to know and understand, to be constructively managed for longer than the licence period." The court heard Gabbert was lonely after his 15-year-old brother died in November last year after being shot in the head. Judge Heather Lloyd said: "I have come to the conclusion, albeit with some reservations, that a suspended sentence order is appropriate. "I make it clear this is your last chance." June 2011 Sex offender jailed A YOUNG man who became sexually involved with two underage girls has been sentenced to two years youth custody. Ian Gabbert's offences came to light when he went to a police station to report an alleged assault by the parents of one girl he had met through Facebook. He went on to admit having sex with her – and also touching another girl over her clothing. He also abducted two girls in his car and was involved in a high speed pursuit with police through country lanes. The 20-year-old of Ulpha, pleaded guilty to five offences, one count of sexual activity with a 14-year-old, one of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old, two charges of child abduction, plus another offence of dangerous driving. Preston Crown Court yesterday heard how the offence relating to the 14-year-old came to light in March when Gabbert went to Millom police station and claimed to a policewoman he had been assaulted by that girl's parents. Mr Nick Kennedy, prosecuting, said that while details were being taken from him, Gabbert informed her he thought it was the result of him having been in a relationship with the daughter. He went on to confirm he had had sex with her on one occasion, thinking she was 15, because that's how old she said she was. He spoke of having had initial contact with the 12-year-old through MSN. They had gone on to meet up. He spoke of them having kissed and touching each other over clothing. Mr Kennedy said: "The defendant made full admissions at the first opportunity, without their being any evidence from either of the two girls to confirm what he said." Before the dangerous driving offence occurred, the second girl, then aged 13 and a 15-year-old girl were reported as being missing. It was suspected that they were both in his company. In March, there was a police chase after officers passed Gabbert's vehicle in Eskdale. He accelerated away, travelling up to 60mph on tight country lanes. The pursuit continued through Hardknott Pass, Kirkstone Pass, the Troutbeck area and Windermere village. Oncoming vehicles had to pull up sharply to avoid contact with his vehicle. An attempt to stop him in the Kendal area didn't work, but he was arrested after getting stuck in stationary traffic. He had no previous convictions. Miss Kim Whittlestone, defending, said it was an exceptionally rare case. There would have been no evidence on the first two charges, but for his full admissions to police. "This defendant is not the sort of young man who has tried to wriggle out of admissions he has made to the police." She referred to a psychological report which stated the girls in the case were likely more sociable and mentally able than he was. He had learning difficulties. "He was unable to handle himself with people of his own age. He was seeking affection from both girls. "He had lived a very isolated young life." She said the girls in the abduction charges had asked him to take them out for a drive. He accepted that his driving had been appalling. Gabbert had been scared because he knew he had done wrong and would be in trouble. Judge Graham Knowles QC agreed that it was an exceptional case. The defendant was in the lower five per cent of the intellectual range of the population. He told him: "What you did with those girls and what you did to those girls was wrong and badly wrong. "You must go to prison for it. You must not have anything to do with girls under 16 again." He will be on the sex offenders register for 10 years and subject to a sexual offences prevention order until further notice.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, July 1996, pgs. 8-12
Did Israel's 1996 Election Kill the Peace Process?—Six Views
An Expatriate American Attorney
"Earth to Bibi: Palestine Exists"
By John V. Whitbeck
There is a strange, other-worldly quality to the current war of words over Palestinian statehood. In response to Prime Minister-elect Binyamin Netanyahu's insistence that he will never agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state, President Yasser Arafat has responded that a state "is the desire of the Palestinian people, and nobody can stop it." President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has stated that "the Palestinians are going to establish a Palestinian state now or then."
In fact, whether or not Mr. Netanyahu agrees to it, and whether or not Mr. Arafat and his supporters fully realize it, the State of Palestine already exists, and Palestinian statehood is not even an issue in the "permanent status" negotiations which began last month and must reach an agreement not later than May 1999.
According to the Declaration of Principles signed on the White House lawn in September 1993, the issues to be covered during permanent status negotiations are "Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, security arrangements, borders, relations with other neighbors, and other issues of common interest." Palestinian statehood is not mentioned, but the references to "borders" and "other neighbors" would make no sense except in the context of an agreement between states. Israel's eventual formal acceptance of Palestinian statehood is clearly implicit in the terms of the Declaration of Principles, but, legally, Israel's prior acceptance is not an essential condition for the State of Palestine to exist.
While extending diplomatic recognition to foreign states lies within the discretion of each sovereign state, there are, as a matter of international law, four customary criteria for sovereign statehood: (1) a defined territory over which sovereignty is not seriously contested by any other state; (2) a permanent population; (3) the ability and willingness of the state to discharge international and conventional obligations; and (4) effective control over the state's territory and population. Judged by these customary criteria, the State of Palestine is on at least as firm a legal footing as the State of Israel.
While Israel has never defined its ultimate borders, an act which would necessarily place limits on them, the State of Palestine has effectively done so. They encompass only that portion of historical Palestine occupied by Israel during the 1967 war. Sovereignty over expanded East Jerusalem is explicitly contested, even though, after nearly three decades, none of the world's other 192 sovereign states has recognized Israel's claim to sovereignty. However, the sovereignty of the State of Palestine over the Gaza Strip and the rest of the West Bank is uncontested.
Israel has never dared even to purport to annex these territories, recognizing that doing so would raise awkward questions about the rights (or lack of them) of those who live there. Jordan renounced all claims to the West Bank in July 1988, and, on June 5, King Hussein reaffirmed that "We will never under any condition be a substitute for" the Palestinians. While Egypt administered the Gaza Strip for 19 years, it never asserted sovereignty over it. Since November 1988, when Palestinian statehood was formally proclaimed, the only state asserting sovereignty over those portions of historical Palestine which Israel conquered in 1967 (aside from expanded East Jerusalem) has been the State of Palestine, a state recognized as such by 124 other states encompassing the vast majority of humankind.
The permanence of Palestine's population is not in question. The state's ability and willingness to discharge international and conventional obligations has been demonstrated by its establishment of diplomatic relations with a majority of the world's other sovereign states and by its efforts to obtain membership in international organizations such as the World Health Organization and UNESCO, even if those efforts have been blocked by the United States.
The weak link in Palestine's claim to already exist as a state was, until recently, the fourth criterion, "effective control." When the state was proclaimed, its entire territory was under the military occupation of another sovereign state. (For seven months, Palestine and Kuwait had that much in common.) Yet a Palestinian executive and legislature, democratically elected with the enthusiastic approval of the international community, now exercises "effective control" over a significant proportion of Palestinian territory in which the great majority of the state's population lives. It can no longer be seriously argued that Palestine's claim to exist falls at the fourth and final hurdle.
Accordingly, as a matter of customary international law, if not yet of general public consciousness, the status of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 is today clear and (with the exception of expanded East Jerusalem) uncontested. The state of Palestine is sovereign, the state of Israel remains the occupying power in a portion of Palestinian territory and U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, explicitly premised on "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war" and explicitly cited as the basis of the future permanent status settlement in all the Israeli-Palestinian accords, is the internationally accepted basis for terminating the occupation.
Some Israelis argue and some Palestinians fear that the PLO's signature on its accords with Israel constitutes, at least implicitly, an acquiescence in the occupation and a renunciation of Palestine's 1988 declaration of independence. However, the interim agreements signed in Cairo in May 1994 and in Washington in September 1995 both contain the following significant provision: "Neither party shall be deemed, by virtue of having entered into this agreement, to have renounced or waived any of its existing rights, claims or positions." This provision was inserted at Palestinian insistence during the final stages of the Cairo negotiations specifically to protect Palestine against such an interpretation.
Out of deference to Israeli sensibilities, President Arafat has in recent years kept the third of his three presidential "hats," that of president of the state of Palestine, largely on a back shelf. There is every reason to believe that he will now wear it more prominently. If the United States and other Western countries, which already welcome President Arafat with the honors and protocol due to a head of state, are seriously interested in actually achieving peace in the Middle East, as opposed to simply ensuring that an interminable and increasingly euphemistic "peace process" continues, there could be no more constructive act than adding their names to the long list of countries which have extended diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine.
By doing so, they would do Israelis the favor of making absolutely clear that whether or not "peace" will include an independent Palestinian state is a non-issue. In fact, the challenge for all who are seriously interested in peace is to find a way to structure the Palestinian state and its relationship with Israel that meets at least the minimum requirements of the Palestinians and still permits a majority of Israelis to perceive such a state as enhancing their security and the quality of their lives. In this manner Israelis can be helped to recognize that it is in their own self-interest to accept Palestine's right to exist in peaceful co-existence alongside Israel. Peace is unimaginable on any other basis.

Obama Proposes More Money for IRS Enforcement
A major focus of the Obama Administration has been to reduce the "tax gap" (the difference between the amount of taxes reported and what the government actually collects). Nowhere has this become more obvious than with the President's 2013 budget request. A recent article in OMB Watch entitled Obama Proposes Exempting IRS from Budget Caps, reports on the Administration's request to have some IRS enforcement spending be "excluded" from budget caps set in 2011. The Administration is making the case that several IRS enforcement efforts are working and generating revenues beyond their costs and that every dollar spent on tax collection pays for itself.
The IRS enforcement budget falls under "discretionary spending" and is subject to spending caps under the Budget Control Act conceived as part of the 2011 debt ceiling deal. The Administration is asking that current caps placed on the IRS enforcement budget be lifted and that this enforcement budget not compete with other national priorities for funding.
The latest IRS tax gap report (January 2012) showed that American taxpayers under reported their taxes to the tune of $450 billion dollars in 2006; and increase of $105 billion from the last IRS study in 2001. This discrepancy is not sitting well with the current President and Treasury Department looking to fill revenue gaps anywhere they can. According to the OMB Watch article, the Obama administration is seeking $5.7 billion for the fiscal year 2013 IRS enforcement budget, showing a $402 million increase over current fiscal year estimates.
Below are the recommended enforcement programs President Obama wants to increase funding for:
- Offshore Tax Evasion Efforts = to receive an additional $111 million. The IRS estimates will bring in $6.40 for every dollar invested by fiscal year 2015.
- International Business Tax Code Compliance = to receive an increase of $39 million to hire more international technical specialists to review business tax returns. The IRS estimates the return on investment at $8.80 per dollar invested.
- Implementation of Recent Legislative Changes to the Tax Code = to receive an additional $129 million including the new reporting requirements and certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). IRS estimates the return will bring in $3.50 for every dollar invested.
- Revenue Protection Strategy = to receive an increase of $88 million. This "strategy" allows the IRS to adjust a taxpayer's refund if examiners find errors. The IRS estimates a return of $1.90 per dollar invested in fiscal year 2015.
- Continuation of Tax Preparer Certification = to receive an additional $35 million. The IRS estimates will bring in $2.30 for every dollar invested by fiscal year 2015.
This news offers a cautionary tale. Increased IRS funding will ensure that IRS collection efforts will only increase in size and scale. If you are a taxpayer experiencing IRS tax issues, you are advised to get expert tax resolution advice to resolve them soon before the IRS gets even more powerful and more expensive.
