text: After solving her first big murder case in the small town of Celosia, North Carolina, Madeline Maclin hopes at last to be taken seriously as a private investigator. She's opened an office in the home of her best friend Jerry Fairweather, a man haunted by his past who enjoys running harmless scams. Jerry doesn't feel worthy of anyone's love - bad news for Madeline - although she thinks Jerry's sister Harriet knows more about their parents' death than she'll say. Madeline is hired to find Kirby Willet, an eccentric inventor who left boxes of his belongings, including one filled with money, at Frannie Thomas' house. Meanwhile Voltage Films director, Josh Gaskins, is in town and thinks Jerry's old house will be perfect for his horror film, Curse of the Mantis Man, about Celosia's mythical beast. Is this monster actually real? Celosia is also hopping with the Pageantoids, rabid fans from Madeline's days as a beauty queen, who have come to Celosia to produce more pageants. And then there's Rick Rialto, one of Jerry's shady con artist friends. When Gaskins is murdered, Madeline uncovers many suspects and is forced to make - and investigate - some hard bargains. At least one of which is with Jerry....--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Does the 16-county Chattanooga area need a regional branding or marketing plan so it can better carry out economic development?
To answer questions such as this one, the Thrive 2055 growth initiative is crafting strategic plans in regional economic development and in three other key areas on which it has decided to focus -- education and workforce training, transportation and natural treasures.
Bridgett Massengill, who's overseeing the first 40-year planning effort for the region, said Thrive 2055 will take its show on the road over the next few months to gain more public input.
"People will tell us what they like and what they don't like," she said. The Thrive 2055 coordinating panel will take what it hears at the sessions and start proposing regional plans in each of the four areas.
The first of the so-called public "input incubators" is slated for Chattanooga's Bessie Smith Cultural Center on June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. Six other sessions will take place in the tri-state region in coming weeks, Massengill said.
She said officials will offer the public several "scenarios" looking at choices and outcomes in each of the four study areas.
For example, she said, the economic development group is looking at the benefit of coming up with a regional brand.
"It hasn't decided that's the way they want to go but that's what they'll be looking at to determine how to proceed in wrapping their hands around economic development," Massengill said.
Gary Farlow, who heads the Cleveland/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce and is a coordinating panel member, said they want to make sure they're asking the right questions.
"What do we want in a branding or marketing plan?" he asked. "Where do we come up with the money?"
Also, Farlow said, the group is looking at creating a regional agreement or compact of interdependence.
"How are we going to behave in the region when it comes to economic development?" he asked, noting the group is eyeing a sustainable long-term strategy.
"Who's doing it? Who does a prospect call when [a company] wants to locate in this region, rather than call three states or 16 individual counties?"
Farlow said the group is talking about visiting other regional economic development entities and is especially interested in those which encompass more than one state.
"It would help us ... not to reinvent the wheel," he said.
Massengill said the second year of the three-year Thrive 2055 process will end early this fall with the strategic plans for each of the four study areas.
The last year of Thrive 2055 will look at how to implement the plans, she said.
Dan Jacobson, a BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee executive who is chairing the initiative's second year, said he has found a lot of interest in the 16-county, three-state footprint for the growth plan.
"We're touting the value of Thrive and why we're doing it and what we're doing," Jacobson said.
Thrive 2055 has a $3 million budget and is managed by the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce.
About $2.5 million has been contributed to the effort so far, with Chattanooga and Hamilton County each committing $500,000. Private area foundations have committed $1 million and area businesses another $540,000. Officials said more contributions are expected.

New Welfare States in East Asia
Global Challenges and Restructuring
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe fast changing economic climate is creating substantial pressure for welfare state restructuring worldwide. Yet the discussion regarding challenges faced and the responses required has been confined to the 'standard welfare states' in the West. This book examines whether these challenges also apply to the countries in the East, whether these countries have generated different responses to their Western counterparts, and whether they have undergone a process of regime transformation while responding to these pressures. Comparative in approach, this book offers lively discussion on the new social challenges faced in East Asia following the unprecedented scale of the recent global financial crisis. It reaches beyond policy descriptions to offer more systematic analyses of welfare restructuring in the region in relation to the fast changing global economic order. By examining the dynamics of welfare state restructuring both in terms of continuity and change, it explores intensified impacts of global restructuring of welfare and the nature of welfare state adaptation in the region.This fascinating and thought provoking read will prove invaluable to academics, researchers and students with an interest in social policy, international social policy, comparative social policy. less

Untitled (Lovers Turn Into Monsters) Lyrics - Bright Eyes
Review The Song (1)
Lovers turn into monsters at the loss of all affection
Almost like it was the affection that kept them from being monsters
And I could have used some warning
I was on that porch all morning
Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt
Could it be I am mistaken, have I stolen somebody's baby?
Is it possible for two people to need the same thing?
It's just the lines, they get so blurry
Between what is once, and now required
And I don't know on which side his heart falls
But I know where mine is buried
And it's so far from any wanting
Yeah, it needs this to keep beating
It won't go on without it
If I'm still weighed down with subtleties
Then I'll just come right out and say
That I think that I deserve her
More than anyone deserves anything
Maybe I am selfish, but there is no way to share this
There's not enough to go around, I don't care who else gets hurt
But I'm still sick with empathy because I was stood in his place
I spent a year quietly dying while he let go and ignored her
And I'm sure that there are reasons for everything that happens
And absence leads to adoration, yeah it's nobody's fault
But now there is no way to change this
So I just photographed and framed it
And it's hanging in a hallway
That we have no right to walk back down
But I hope that he feels better but I'm sick of all the drama
I can't stand to see her crying, I just want this shit to end
And I want a place to hang out where record players play out
And there's a thousand movies rented for a thousand nights with her

WMP12 not displaying new track thumbs
Not long ago I ran into several problems which required me to do a clean install of Win 7 Home Prem x64. No problem, got that all sorted away. And since a lot of my stuff is stored on separate hard drives I didn't lose all that much really.
Just, well, personalizations for the most part. Like the fullsize album art settings for Windows Media Player. I hated, with a frothing madness, what happened to that little bit of the program. So anyway I got called away for a time and while I was gone a "helpful" person (who, if I can get this fixed, wont die... painfully... messily... slowly... etc) that went in and decided to try his hand at altering the various registry values to restore fullsize album art. And no he didn't succeed. But what he has done ... No New Album Art displayed in the ... um... general display (ie lookin' at the music listing).
All the album art that was present before I had to leave is fine. But WMP wont even accept drag-n-drops for the missing art.
Is there, somewhere, a master list of the stock registry values for WMP12? So I can go in and either kill or repair the ones he messed up.
OR is there any other method to rectify this issue?
|My System Specs

Have you tried a system restore to before it got stuffed up, if that is not an option maybe this will help to fix it, go to contol panel, in the search control panel box (upper right corner), type troubleshooter, click troubleshooting in the list then click on view all (upper left corner) select media player in the list and reset it to default settings.
|My System Specs
|23 Feb 2014
Well... restore tain't an option. But I'll try the other options you mentioned. Domo.
Edit: I just used the reset and its all fixed. After doing so, I then changed the art size back to my preference and re-did the alterations to swap to 64bit version in the registry. Now I'm golden (fingers crossed). Thanks BrightBlessings.

DOTHAN, Ala. — A college student is describing being the victim in what authorities say was a robbery committed by four Auburn University football players.
Southern Union Community College student Clay Stewart tells The Dothan Eagle that one of his friends answered the door on a recent Friday to find masked gunmen outside. He says some of the men had shirts over their heads, and they wore gloves like football receivers.
The 20-year-old Stewart the gunmen started yelling, and one put a gun in his face.
Police matched descriptions given by the five victims to four men who were stopped in a vehicle shortly after the robbery, which occurred March 11. Four players were all kicked off the team after being arrested on robbery charges.

Kevin Hart to Mike Epps: Go Kill Yourself!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Thanks to the success of Ride Along, Kevin Hart is officially on the A-List.
But there's at least one person who doesn't think he belongs there.
Appearing on a Dallas radio show this week, Mike Epps was asked to name an overrated comedian.
"Kevin Hart," replied Epps. "In this business, sometimes marketing can be bigger than talent. This business is not about being funny, it's about being forced on people."
It's safe to say Hart didn't take well to this critique.
Here's a summary of what he wrote to Epps on Twitter in response to the diss:
- Just heard @TheRealMikeEpps called me "Overrated" on the radio this AM! I missed it bcuz I was on set "WORKING"do u remember what that is?
- Hey @TheRealMikeEpps why don't you do us all a favor and Kill your god damn self....Didn't you learn ur lesson from fucking with me last x.
- Don't talk 2 me until u start selling out ARENA'S @TheRealMikeEpps if ur shows aren't sellin & u need sum help maybe I will send out a TWEET.
- Oh one more thing @TheRealMikeEpps if you keep talking crazy I will book shows the same day as you in the same cities and shut yo shit down.
- That's called FLEXIN @TheRealMikeEpps ....I'm going to go take my OVERRATED ass back to WORK now, MY WORK HERE IS DONE BOOOOOOM!!!!
Well... okay then. Note to selves: Do NOT anger Kevin Hart.
upto I saw the check which was of $4750 , I didn't believe that...my... neighbour was like they say realey taking home money in there spare time on-line. . there uncle started doing this for under 18 months and resently cleard the debts on their appartment and got a top of the range Dodge . Visit Website , >>>>>>>> CHECK44.COM
Sorry Mike...Kevin has the ball now.. Eventually someone will come along and take it from Kevin until then let Kevin keep on making slam dunks.
My opinion no one will ever beat out Dave Chappell😂😂
........just marry lilo.
Ouch!Kevin really washed Mike.lol
I think that Mike Epps is overrated Whenever he appears on stage, he spent the majority of that time laughing at his own lame jokes.
Message to Mike:
I would buy tickets to be entertained by Kevin quick, faster and more in a hurry than to think about buying a ticket for an Epps show. THANKS!!

Didn't learn much about separation of church and state in America, did you?... Are you perhaps channelling Mohamed Atta?...
Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Arab world have been seeking their place in the sun. Unfortunately instead of espousing education and equality they have taken another path that leaves them now bankrupt both economically and spiritually.
Every failure of theirs has been blamed on Western Imperialism or in more recent times Zionism. But now the great bluff has exploded in their faces. All the lies and hatred the Arab elite have fed the masses is now exploding in their faces. Imperialism and Zionism are not the problems of the Arab world but ignorance and hatred, encouraged in particular by the Mullahs. Less religion not more and a lot more education is the way forward. A society that is propelled only by lies, fear and hatred will never succeed. But as we are seeing this hatred will turn inwards and destroy the whole fabric of its society. This is the problem of the Arab World - Egypt is the front runner.
"But the ignorant masses that dominate the Arab world still believe that more religion and the sharia law will save them. Unfortunately they will only learn from experience."
" Experience teaches only the teachable."
-Aldous Huxley
I agree the West should stay out of it and let the Islamists rot in Hell. Maybe next time round the Egyption people will vote for those that are not religious fanatics.
You have to admit it, the end of islamists is coming sooner than you think. If you think Egypt's economy is right on track, then can you justify the gas shortage/crisis? can you justify the electricity outage for longer than 2 hours everyday? can you justify the extreme state of poverty and the lack of foreign currency? can you justify why tourism is trending downwards during the days of the islamists after a revolution that impressed the whole world? can you tell me why investors are turning their back to Egypt? can you tell me where is the police? where is the judiciary power? where is the trial of thieves and killers? where is actually Egypt going? of course you wont have an answer but islam is the solution, where in fact, religion should not leave the boundaries of your home! Morsi and his brotherhood have failed to even run a social club. Look around at the "infidel" west and what their countries have achieved so far? they invented the internet that you are using now, they invented computers and softwares so that your majesty can type those out-of-context words, they put together pharmaceuticals and medications to cure you when you get sick! neither the church or the mosque invented these and will actually never do! you islamists stay out of Egypt and back off! historically Egypt has been a secular state and will always continue to be.
The ignorance of the Arab World knows no bounds. It's a pity that they have still not learnt the correlation between religiosity and standard of living - the more of one the less of the other.They are throwing out their corrupt elite and are tentatively embracing democracy. But the ignorant masses that dominate the Arab world still believe that more religion and the sharia law will save them.
Unfortunately they will only learn from experience. In the meantime let us hope that democracy will not be dismantled by the new ruling class.
"Along with its politics, Egypt's economy has lurched ever closer to ruin, yet successive governments have blithely ignored the looming danger.
The current one, dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, is no exception."
The current Islamist government's behavior (not least its anti-Christian conducts) is THE primary reason for Egypt's impending economic ruin. Here, The Economist again bends over backwards to distort the facts to cover for the Islamists.
I read all the comments here and I feel like there is a big issue that no one has mentioned--overpopulation. Egypt's population c. 1900 was about eight million, today it is about ten times that. While Egypt is a large country, most of it is desert and this article rightly points out that Egypt has to import about 50% of its wheat. 50%. That is not good. In fact, it is very bad. Historically, populations balanced out by engaging in massive out-migration, conquering neighboring lands, or famine just killed people off. A complete economic collapse with a civil war is also possible. Some of these are impossible, none of them are happy or fortunate. Any of them would destabilize the region. But the status-quo of Egypt being a welfare state seems to be growing tired as well.
one more thing :) the economist is based in UK and the economist by this article is not ruling Egypt and your comment is not defending the nation :)I think it would be much smarter if you just show some numbers of the achievement or progress Egypt is heading to to show how wrong this article could be , other than using that disrespectful tone that makes people like me feel ashamed that people like you share with me the same country.
This is what faces Egypt TODAY:
50% of the People without JOB SKILLS
50% of the People UNDER THE AGE OF 24 WITHOUT HOPE
50% of the People DISCRIMINATED … INCLUDING WOMEN AND COPTIC CHRISTIANS
Can this recipe bake a renaissance? Nah … didn't think so!
Islamists only know ONE thing … political Islamists only know ONE thing … oops it's the same thing!
The Arab/Muslim world is not ready for the 21st C and Modernity … the latest Pharaoh doesn't have a clue … sure his 'cronies' will become successful and enrich themselves on the body of the People … sure the 'military' will continue to 'keep' their economic privileges … but where's the 'change' that could make a difference in the lives of the masses?
You'll need a 'brain transplant' for that to happen and IT'S NOT ACHIEVABLE!
Change is very hard … Islam is easy … it fits on the skin … it's 'comfortable' …
Let Egypt go down the road of its own choosing …
I predict a military takeover as unrest gets 'out of hand' … the Islamists will be thrown in jail … and NOTHING …
I SAID NOTHING WILL HAVE CHANGED FROM THE DAYS OF MUBARAK … EXCEPT THERE'LL BE A NEW PHARAOH … even tougher than the last one! But … order will be restored at the expense of liberty … that's the ONLY way forward in these woefully ignorant hovels of humanity!
Your article seems to be more about blaming the government than about an sober analysis of the Egypt's economy that I expected from the Economist. For example, the 10% reduction in currency is long overdue and will help both exporters and tourism, the government is finally taking a real shot at fixing the subsidy system in bread and also fuel using smart cards, and there are several initiatives to bring in investments for specific projects on the Suez Canal. Egypt economic problems are structural not transient and will not be solved in 9 month or even 4 years. The main problem is that the President and PM are both incapable of communicating with the masses and building a national well to face the challenges. Unfortunately, the opposition is even worse.
The Egyptian tourist industry will this summer fail to attract even those thrill seekers amongst us causing a further contraction in an economy where tourism is king. Perhaps by the spring of 2014 the warring factions will have settled to start attracting us back?
Tale of two Egypts: By Lotfy Basta MD, FRCP, FRCPE, FACP, FACC, FCCP, FAHA…..April, 2013
Egypt has a great potential. It has a unique geographic location, gorgeous weather, great History of invention and progress and a culture second to none. Ancient Egypt was the cradle of civilization and modern Egypt set the standards for the whole region into how to function, respect the supremacy of law, deliver the best education, govern, produce second to none art and science as well as people. Most importantly, she had four Nobel laureates (Dr. Mohammed El-Baradei, Dr. Ahmed Zweil, Naguib Mahfouz the writer and Anwar El-Sadat), and more than half of its citizens are younger than 25. The best Cardiac Surgeon in the World (Sir Magdy Yacoub) is Egyptian as well as many leaders living outside and several scholars living within the Country. Anyone who witnessed or saw the peaceful march of the millions of the Egyptian Youth on January 25 more than two years ago was filled with awe, hope and optimism. The youth demanded Justice, Equality, Freedom, Dignity and Jobs.
Now Egypt is ruled by the Muslim Brothers. They were the only organized group (jailed by the previous administration) who could catch the hanging fruit caused by the Youth uprising. Egyptian considered them to be truthful, trustworthy and even-handed. They proved to be incompetent, ideology driven, unreliable, unpredictable, indecisive, irrational and unable to stick to their decisions. Muslims who do not subscribe to extremism and violence as well as dare to voice their thoughts were labeled traitors. Women were treated as inferior to men or as mere sex objects. Christians were asked to leave or be punished. Dr. Morsi who swore to obey the law appointed himself to become above the law and rushed a flawed Constitution through, with a rigged vote from the Egyptians who cared to cast their vote. No wonder, therefore, that the popularity of Dr. Morsi' according to the Baseera's opinion poll (which is sympathetic to the Muslim Brothers) plunged from almost 80% favorable in last October to less than 50% last month. The Western world sees Egypt, at present, as a dysfunctional, chaotic broken State.
The recent undertaking by punishing members of the Sawiris family, preventing them from leaving Egypt and assessing back taxes on them added insult to injury. The Sawiris family contributed mightily to the economy of Egypt over the past fifty years. Transparency, honesty and playing by the existing rules have been their mantra over the years. No wonder therefore, that the Egyptian stock market fell on the same day by 2.3% and is declining steadily since then. Recently, the Egyptian pound was devalued again so that we have become at par with Pakistan and Cuba. Egypt is heading quickly to financial ruins. Orascom (owned by the Sawiris family) employees, regardless of their religion, unanimously showed their opposition to the Government's decision. I must remind Dr. Morsi that the Great men of history such as Marcus Aurelius, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their country. They were not driven by revenge or for the benefit of a certain group or an individual as is taking place in Egypt nowadays. It is amazing that Dr. Morsi continues to send emissaries hoping to lure companies to invest in Egypt, which is a reflection of ignorance or naiveté. Investors require stability, security and certainty about the future. Now, Egypt lacks these essentials. Instead, Egypt is plagued by more corruption, inefficiency and bureaucracy and is becoming more impoverished by the day.
Recently we celebrated the visit of Sir Magdi Yacoub to our area. He was accompanied by his main assistants Drs Alwaleed, Ahmed Afifi and Ahmed El-Guindy to our area. He told about the Aswan Heart Hospital that he founded and how the Hospital grew by Egyptian private money and talent. He also told us that the Hospital treats those with no recognizable name equal to those individuals of fame emphasizing that both are God's handy work and, therefore, have equal human worth. I was reminded of the potential of the good people of Egypt. I want our country to live to its God-Given potential and to enjoy justice, equality, freedom and dignity; this would make me proud to say that I am Egyptian. What is taking place in my native country makes me ashamed to say I belong to a society marred by bigotry, intolerance, fanaticism, discrimination and incompetence. I dream that cool rational methodic planning by scholar technocrats trumps this cancer of hot slogans full of lies and vacuous meaningless statements from the ignorant and the profiteers.
*** Why do not you Check out US economy ? Or Cyprus
Or Italy ? ***
The Economist actually writes plenty about all three.
*** No matter
What you do or write the secularists of Egypt Will NEVER
Rule Egypt! So give it up already! ***
And who said that they will? Anyway, at this rate soon no Egypt will be left to be ruled by anybody
When some salafi guy get son the news and talks about banning bikinis and beer, even if that will never happen, it really spreads the wrong message about Egypt and keeps people away. Also, the Sinai, which used to draw lots of Israelis and Russians, has become like the Wild West but worse. I don't see the tourism sector improving much in the near future, I'm sad to say.
Actually if you read the economist that well you will know that they predicted the revolution in October in a special coverage
The number of FOREIGN LANGUAGE books translated into Arabic in the LAST 1000 YEARS is the same amount that Spain translates in ONE YEAR!
Think about that! Ponder that equation! It says it all for me!
The Arab/Muslim World is self-satisfied in their abject poverty of education!
Arab Spring: by Lotfy Basta MD,FRCP,FRCPE,FACP,FACC,FCCP,FAHA….Jan.17 ,13
Almost two years ago, almost one million of Egypt's youth assembled peacefully in Tahrir square of Cairo demanding freedom, justice, equality, dignity and the end to an autocratic regime that robbed them from their human rights. The whole world watched in awe. The Egyptian uprising became the model for the whole world that yearned for Democracy and demanded to be heard and listened to. The Egyptian youth displayed courage, determination and perseverance and willingness to sacrifice in the face of an opposition that killed almost a thousand of them. They felt betrayed when the Muslim Brothers took over and showed their true colors to a watching world.
Alas, the subsequent actions of Dr. Morsi, the elected President of Egypt were disappointing in many ways. He previously denied that 9/11, that killed 3000 Americans, was the work of terrorists (he maintained it was an Israeli-American conspiracy) then he described the jews as the descendants of Apes and Pigs. More recently he described the millions who marched against his Palace in the wake of the fraudulent constitution as Copts joined by traitors. His erratic behavior and choice of an incompetent government showed his true colors. He is keen to further the interests of one group (the Muslim Brothers) and did not do anything for Egypt. On the contrary it continued its decline, albeit at a much faster pace, in economy, foreign investments, tourism, available jobs and all other aspects of life in Egypt.
No wonder the Egyptian youth became dispirited, dismayed, disappointed, disillusioned and disparate. I want to quote Winston Churchill when he said: "You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and won by youth. When Thomas Edison discovered the light bulb on the 155th try, he was asked: how did it feel to fail 154 times? His answer was: "I never failed but I learnt the ways that do not work. I am tempted to quote Churchill again when he said: "if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future". Also "Never give in, never, never, never, never in nothing, great or small, large or petty never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
My advice to the youth (as it has always been), forget the past, turn the leaf, look to the future, form the structure that can produce the desired results. There must be distributive justice for everyone (an Egalitarian system) that provides food, quality education, and access to health care and basic necessities to every citizen. At the same time we have to build a system that rewards talent, hard work, perseverance and merit without regard for anything else. Over two decades ago South Korea was identical to Egypt in demographics (population) and per capita income. Today, South Korea is one of the three best nations in education (with Canada and Finland), it has sixty million citizens and the income per Capita exceeds ten times that of Egypt. It is considered a haven of innovation. They established the national priorities, developed the engine to produce and implemented Democracy Korean style in which they maintained their own values of hard work, respect for the elderly, reverence for their elected rulers (who are subject to the law of the land) and recognition that no religion can deliver the needs of the neither masses nor reward innovation.
It is only human to be driven by vengeance but we must rise above it and create an environment in which new businesses can thrive. It is high time when secularists, liberals, women's groups and various religions coalesce under ONE leader and ONE platform to build a new Egypt. What about the existing regime: "who smothers others eventually smother oneself"
How much money did Sawiras and other Egyptian
Billioners who are pro Mubark and anti Islam
Paid you to write this piece?
I recall that you wrote here one month before the Egyptian
Revolution saying that Mubark's government was
Solid and stable and that Egypt's economy back then
Was as good as gold !! How much did Mubark paid
You back then to write up that crab?
Why do not you Check out US economy ? Or Cyprus
Or Italy ? Stay out of Egypt business . No matter
What you do or write the secularists of Egypt Will NEVER
Rule Egypt! So give it up already! You are a bunch
Of paid mercenaries fighting with words instead
Of guns.
Misunderstanding religion
By: Lofty Basta MD, FRCP, FRCPE, FACP, FACC, FCCP, FAHA ……Sep. 12, 2012
It is really sad that the extremists are driving the actions in Egypt. They should never have done that. These barbaric acts are perpetrated by deranged individuals that do not worship God BUT USE GOD. Every religion calls for peace and mercy among all people. Which God is that who promotes hate and maiming in his name? Out of over 65 million known species, humans (homo-sapiens) are one of the handful few species that espouses killing of its own kind. We have to stop these heinous acts that reflect ignorance, primitiveness and lack of understanding. Egypt has to return to its traditions of decency, togetherness and modernity. We should become again the trend setter for the whole region and its shining light.
I am a Copt (Christian Egyptian), and I have been "Chairman of Cardiology" in America since 1974. Never once did I consider religion in hiring or promotion. I am sure that Drs. Morsi and his prime Minister of Egypt Dr. Quandeel were never asked about their religions when they obtained their PhD degrees from prestigious American Universities. I am reminded that when Jesus was asked "who is your friend?" He chose one who does not belong to His religion. The Good Samaritan was the one who cared about his fellow man and did not expect any return; he just did the right thing out of the kindness of his heart. My best friends include Christians, Muslims, Jews, Atheists and you name it. Currently, there are 590 religions in the world and many others came and went. Muslims constitute one in seven and Christians one in five world inhabitants.
Many books and films claimed certain religions to be full of falsehoods or they mocked various religions. Consider the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber "Jesus Christ superstar "in which Jesus is portrayed as a heterosexual person and in which he is told "don't be a fool….walk on my pool", and the musical "the book of Mormon" which won eleven awards, or the best seller book which subsequently became a movie: "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and the funny portrial, of various preachers, in the movies. Also the books written against Islam such as "the Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdi, "the Islamic Threat" by John Esposito or "My Year Inside Radical Islam" by Gartenstein-Ross to quote a few. Furthermore, there are many books and Movies that mock all religious beliefs. The most famous of these is "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkin (selected as the best book of the year in 2008), several articles and essays and his latest book "mortality" by Christopher Hitchens, the most recent book by the renowned physicist (Prof. at Cambridge University) Stephen Hawking In which he argues "Who Needs God" and the movie by the comedian Bill Maher. These are just examples among many.
Therefore, to claim that the recent destructive demonstration in Egypt was the direct result of the obscure Sam Bacilli's (probably a fictitious name) movie, endorsed by the deranged pastor (Fr. Terry Jones of Gainesville, Florida) and the outlier Morris Sadek claiming that Islam is a cancer does not represent an official stance by America nor by the Copts outside Egypt. It represents the freedom of expression that ALL the citizens of the western countries enjoy and practice. To call it by a different name is misleading. Violence should never be condoned by anyone. There are courts that determine whether any form of expression has crossed the line. Taking the matter in our own hands should never be condoned and is beneath Egypt. I have bad news for everyone "if we continue on this path, we will increase the schism widen between the various religions, and more insulting movies against key religious figures, financed by more groups taking advantage of such a spreading phenomenon.
Let us always remember that ALL religions are designed to make us better people; caring about each other, understanding one another, helping the most vulnerable among us and building a better society for everyone. They are not intended for us to hate more, kill each other and commit unspeakable acts of violence against our fellow human being. The latter is USING GOD and NOT SERVING THE ALMIGHTY. No wonder that many young people elect not to adopt any religion at all. There are many forms of expression that propel progress in a modern society. Reasoned debate, peaceful assembly and other forms of thoughtful exchange of views are welcome. All forms of destruction and criminal acts impede progress and return us to the rules of the jungle. The last thing that the world needs is a religious war in which everyone becomes a loser. Violence diminishes one and never elevates the attacker.

Fish Fry
- lupaglupa Oct 28, 2007 01:19 PM
I want to do a fish fry at my church and can't see to find any helpful tips on how to do it. Has anyone got any experience with this? I would expect about 80 - 100 people.
re: scubadoo97
Turkey fryer is a good idea. A word to the wise- keep a safety zone around the fryer that you control(absolutey no kiddos near it). And keep the cooker over grass while in use. I've read a few cases where folks have used these on their wooden patios- spills happened and fires started.
Save me some :)
re: Spencer
Concrete would seem to be the perfect surface to do this on, and it is in most ways, but make sure any spilled grease gets scrubbed up before you go home. Unless the new owners have resurfaced my old front porch, there is still a ring of duck fat that dripped from the edges of my Weber grill cover almost fifteen years ago...
I don't know anything about the actual fish frying part, but here's the side dish you must have: pickles and onions. We grew up with this as the "salad" when we'd fry fish at the lake. It is absolutely what it sounds like it is: chopped up dill pickles (my dad's favorite were Polish dills, which I think said something like "Polski Wyrob" on the label) and onions, about equal amounts of each, mixed together and allowed to mingle for a half hour or so.
Was that just my family, or are there other people in the world who have this with fish?
Seriously, pickles and onions. They really set off the fish.
re: karykat
Boy it's been 25 years since I moved from Wisconsin and I still miss the Fish Frys.
I love fish fries! If a local church in my neighborhood has one, I am there!!!
You have to work on your menu now because these are kind of regional things. As karykat says, in Wisconsin, the Friday night fish fries have German side dishes. In much of the South, you better have hush puppies but most Yankees aren't going to want those.
Down home food is a pretty sure bet wherever you are. Plain potato salad and cole slaw with no frou-frou additions. Good rolls or corn bread. Some places demand sliced bread, even Wonder Bread, and you have to have vats of tartar sauce plus other condiments. And hot sauce like Tabasco.
The most common fish are whiting and catfish through the South and Mid-Atlantic. They come frozen and the fillet sizes are pretty standard. They're also inexpensive, with whiting being downright cheap. A mix of AP flour and cornmeal makes a good coating although some use just cornmeal or cornflour. Usually not batter.
I have no idea what is the preference in your section of the country.
I have never been to a fish fry where they offered a non-fried-fish alternative like baked fish. Too complicated. Yeah, yeah, but it opens the floodgates...
If this is a fundraiser, dessert can be a separate bakesale. Down home desserts always sell really well at fish fries. Pies and cakes by the slice fly off the tables. Brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
There are some types of traditional events that are best when you keep them simple. Oyster roasts, pancake breakfasts, fish fries, things like that. If there is a formula for them in your region or city, stick to it and do the nicest job you can. People love these things and always support them.
re: MakingSense
I think MakingSense just made lots of sense. (!) Go with what is traditional in your area and do the best you can with it. Because people who come to these kinds of things will have set expectations for the menu depending on where you are. (What region of the country are you in, if you don't mind my asking?)
re: karykat
Karykat, did you see the recent Saveur magazine article on Milwaukee fish fries? Great regional tradition. You're right. Same menu pretty much everywhere you go but people love them. I used to do tours for international visitors and loved to arrange hitting Milwaukee on Friday so we could go to a fish fry. They always loved them, more than if I had taken them to some four-star restaurant. One of the best things to show people about America.
re: MakingSense
I think I did see it at the store. Now I'm curious to dig it up.
Thanks for all the info. From all your suggestions and what other info I've found I think we will NOT do a fish fry! We don't have the space for the fryers inside or out and I am concerned about safety (the church is old and very flammable). Now I'll just have to go out and get one for myself since all your suggestions sound so good. Thanks again.
re: lupaglupa
ok, no fish fry. spaghetti dinner is easy for groups! garlic bread. salad. desserts. done!
and your turkey fryer is great for asian style crispy whole fish, too.


text: CBO: Minimum Wage Hike to $10.10 Could Cost 500K Jobs Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 18 Feb 2014 post a comment On Tuesday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour could cost 500,000 Americans their jobs. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, and President Barack Obama has pushed congressional Democrats to raise it to $10.10 an hour. Obama has already signed an executive order to raise the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10 an hour. The CBO report estimated, if fully implemented by 2016, "the $10.10 option would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers" while bringing 900,000 workers out of poverty. As for the $9 option that has previously been proposed by Obama and some Democrats, the CBO estimated that such a hike would cost 100,000 jobs while bringing 300,000 workers out of poverty.

You ask "Just who runs K9Country?" and "How did it come to pass?". Well it started along long time ago in a galaxy far away…. Oh excuse me, that's different story!
K9Country was created by Janet and Joe Croft. We live in a small suburb of Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport, Texas. After having a server, www.croftj.net, out on the Internet helping the Linux Community for some time now we decided it was time to put it to other more profitable uses also. We decided to do a dog site since Jan is really really into dogs and there is only so much you can say about the Linux OS (unless of course your a geek).
Our goal is to provide an easy means of finding information on the care and raising of dogs on the Internet. The Internet has such a wealth of information and so little of it really concerns any one individual. We plan to accomplish this by providing links to interesting categorized dog related sites, a search engine for those pages and the sites they point to, useful tools such as our "Breed Selection Tool" and our "Dog Database", and hopefully some original content for our site itself. To help support the community we also offer news like forums and classified ads.
Jan is the dog lover, heck, lets be serious, animal lover. We now have a house with 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 kids, if we had room we would have horses, chickens, pot bellied pigs, deer, ostriches, partridges in pear trees etc. but I digress. Jan is a dog lover, she longs for the time that she can start showing dogs again, breeding them to make just the right dog for a given breed. Her job on this site is to direct what we have on our site as far as features. She also searches out the links to the other sites and news items as well as reads and answers the mail.
I'm Joe, a programmer at heart… hmmm.. maybe slacker is more appropriate, why work when you can earn a living playing with computers? My job for this site is to come up with all of the scripting needed to make this site run. My interests are mostly computers and my kids. Dogs are okay, almost better than cats but don't tell Jan I said that!
My kids are Thomas and Tamara. Their good kids. Tom is 14 and Tamara is 12. They are your typical kids liking the "Rug Rats" and such. Jan has three kids also, Jason, Cecil and Aaron. They decided to stay in Minnesota with their dad. Jason is actually out on his own at 27. Cecil is 23 and is majoring in biology at college. Aaron is 20 and still in high school. Their pretty neat boys also! (yes, they mommy's little boys to the end).
