The Big British Left-Liberal Blind Spot
Professor Barry Rubin draws our attention to an important shift in the policy of the Muslim Brotherhood: explicit endorsement of the extremist jihadist program of Al Queda and its affiliates.
Unfortunately, as Prof. Rubin points out, they've made their intentions known in Arabic. Will the West notice?
"This is one of those obscure Middle East events of the utmost significance that is ignored by the Western mass media, especially because they happen in Arabic, not English; by Western governments, because they don't fit their policies; and by experts, because they don't mesh with their preconceptions."
However, the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood happens to be "the most powerful group, both politically and religiously, in the Muslim communities of Europe and North America" makes it imperative that Western leaders, policy-makers and commentators rid themselves of the current debilitating blind spot which causes them to largely regard events in the Middle East as having no bearing upon their own environment. Generally speaking, much of the West's media, academia and politicians seem determined to avoid seeing at all costs the connections between the anti-Israel rhetoric on their streets and the creeping influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in their own countries, with all its implications.
For considerable time now, the anti-Israel campaigns in Europe and America have been largely orchestrated by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates. Moshe Dann has provided a comprehensive and useful overview of the Muslim Brotherhood and its partner organizations in North America. The situation in Europe is, if anything, even worse. In the UK Hamas activists operate openly and in some cases have achieved a remarkable level of entryism into British institutions.
The Muslim Brotherhood's foothold in Britain became significant with the arrival there of its official spokesman for Europe, Egyptian-born member Kamal El Helbawy in the mid 1990s. In 1997 Helbawy founded the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), together with fugitive Hamas commander Mohammed Sawalha, Azam Tammimi (who between 1989 and 1992 worked for the Muslim Brotherhood's in Jordan) and the son of the head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Iraq, Anas Al Tikriti. Since then, numerous Muslim Brotherhood associated organizations have sprung up in the UK, often connected to at least one of the four above names. They include the Palestinian Return Centre, Interpal, the Institute of Islamic Political Thought, the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and media outlets such as the monthly Hamas magazine 'Filastin Al Muslima' and the 'Palestine Times'.
Also operating in the UK are several organizations set up by the Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe (FIOE) which is the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella organization in Europe, established in 1989. The Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO) for example enjoys links with the European Union, the Council of Europe and the United Nations as well as close links with the Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS) in British universities.
Another example is the 'European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza' (ECESG) which is a body set up in 2007 by the FIOE and, among other activities, is behind flotillas attempting to reach Gaza, including the one which ended in violence aboard the Mavi Marmara due to the actions of members of the IHH; a member of the 'Union of Good' – the collection of charities providing funding for Hamas (and chaired by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi of the Muslim Brotherhood) which was designated a terrorist entity by the USA and banned in Israel.
The head of the ECESG is Dr. Arafat Madi, who is also executive director of the Palestinian Return Centre with which the ECESG shares offices and a telephone number in North London. Not only has Dr. Madi reportedly had the ear of the President of the European Parliament, but the ECESG organized a delegation of European MPs to Gaza in January 2009 to meet with Hamas representatives there.
British supporters of the ECESG include Lord Nazir Ahmed, Baroness Jenny Tonge ( also a patron of the Hamas supporting Palestine Solidarity Campaign), Lord Richard Harries, former MPs (until 2010) Clare Short and Brian Iddon and current MP Roger Godsiff, as well as various members of the Scottish Parliament. This in effect means that a Muslim Brotherhood organization has influence at the highest levels of British politics and legislation.
The Palestinian Return Centre's board of trustees includes another Hamas operative named Zaher Birawi, who is also the spokesman for 'Viva Palestina' and is considered by some to be the liaison between George Galloway and Hamas. From 2001 to 2003 Birawi was the chair of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), the de facto branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Another MAB leader, Mohammed Sawalha, was a member of the steering group of former London Mayor Ken Livingstone's 'Coalition to Defend Freedom of Religious and Cultural expression' as a representative of the British Muslim Initiative (BMI) – a MAB offshoot run by Anas Al Tikriti -, of which Birawi is also a member.
Birawi is also a functionary for 'Educational Aid for Palestinians' – another 'Union of Good' member – and the Muslim Brotherhood 'Al Hiwar' TV channel , together with Hamas sympathizer Azam Tamimi. In addition, Birawi also acted as chairman of Leeds Grand Mosque at the time at which it is known that some of the 7/7 bombers met there. The mosque's Imam Sheikh Muhammed Taher has been on record as giving some extremist sermons and at least since 1998 the mosque has hosted a weekly lesson by Sheikh Abdullah Al Judai who is one of the founders of the Dublin-based European Council for Fatwa and Research which is headed by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi and is a known Muslim Brotherhood organization and FIOE offshoot.
The Palestinian Return Centre is considered to be one of the central institutions for Hamas activity in the UK. As well as Madi and Birawi, its trustees include Ghassan Faour (who is also a trustee of Interpal – a member of the Union of Good), Majdi Akeel, also associated with Interpal and mentioned as a Hamas activist in the Holy Land Foundation trial in the US, and Majed Al Zeer , a known Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood operative who accompanied European MPs to Gaza on the aforementioned trip organized by the ECESG. Dr. Daoud Abdallah, a signatory of the Istanbul Declaration (together with Mohamed Sawalha), acts as a senior researcher for the PRC.
One of the more interesting phenomena in the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK has been its willingness to nurture what is known as the 'red-green alliance'; the link to radical Left wing groups such as the Socialist Workers Party as seen in the form of the Stop the War Coalition which is one of the main players in the campaign to delegitimize Israel in the UK. It has to some extent also dabbled in mainstream politics in the form of George Galloway's Respect party, for which Anas Al Tikriti stood as a candidate for the European Parliament in 2004. But it is not only within the fringes of the extreme Left that Muslim Brotherhood activists find political sympathy in Britain; both Anas Al Tikriti and Azam Tamimi (a man who openly admitted aspirations to be a suicide bomber in Israel) have had articles commissioned by the mainstream newspaper 'The Guardian' and are to be found voicing their opinions on British television.
Equally interesting is the level of entryism of Muslim Brotherhood linked groups into the British academia. Anas Al Tikriti, as well as lecturing at British universities himself, is president of the Cordoba Foundation which, together with Islam Expo to which both Azam Tamimi and Mohammed Sawalha are connected, sponsors the European Muslim Research Centre at Exeter University. Until 2005 the University of Wales in Lampeter had academic ties with the European Institute of Human Sciences which has connections with Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi and at least one other member of the Muslim Brotherhood's European Council for Fatwah and Research; the same Sheikh Abdullah Al Judai connected to Leeds Grand Mosque. Of course the Muslim Brotherhood is by no means the only source of Islamist funding in UK universities but its considerable influence on the Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS) which currently claims to represent some 90,000 Muslim students in the UK – including, but far from exclusively, training programs organized by the Muslim Brotherhood's FEMYSO - and the sheer number of its former members who have been involved in terrorist activities presents a prime cause for concern.
There is barely an aspect of British life today in which Muslim Brotherhood and/or Hamas supporters lack influence. From the academic world, including student organizations, through politics and government, trades unions, the media, the legal system and even some Christian churches, they have succeeded in re-writing the prevailing narrative by means of the employment of the language of charity and human rights. Skillfully, they deflect criticism by the use of anti-racism laws and social mores and manage to market themselves as the face of 'moderate Islam' so successfully that they are often invited to act in an advisory capacity to decision makers and are even able to secure government funding .
Supporters of Israel frequently ask themselves what has changed in recent years to prompt the dramatic shift in public opinion in the UK and turn it into one of the major hubs of delegitimization of Israel. One of several answers to that question is the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood has been allowed a free rein in British society and has slowly and patiently promoted an atmosphere of ideological extremism not only within sections of the Muslim community, but also within the host society, to a point where terrorism is so acceptable that many ordinary British people find nothing exceptional in thousands of people marching through their capital city under the flags and banners of terrorist organizations.
The effect that this has upon the public perception of Israel's constant battle against terrorism is just one aspect of the situation. Another, no less significant effect is the one it has upon the host society which to a large extent is still blissfully comatose with regard to the Muslim Brotherhood's aims and intentions. As Professor Rubin points out:
"…..it does mean that something awaited for decades has happened: the Muslim Brotherhood is ready to move from the era of propaganda and base-building to one of revolutionary action. At least, its hundreds of thousands of followers are being given that signal. Some of them will engage in terrorist violence as individuals or forming splinter groups; others will redouble their efforts to seize control of their countries and turn them into safe areas for terrorists and instruments for war on the West. "
Only if the citizens of the UK and the rest of the Western world rouse themselves from their current apathy and begin to recognise the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood for what they really are by setting them aside from the subject of the Israel/Palestine conflict can this potentially critical development be handled safely and effectively.

I coach minor hockey in a smaller center, similar in size to the Clarenville area. Never have I ever heard of a sponsored set of uniforms being turned away by a minor hockey association regardless of how many sets of uniforms they might have. More often than not it is a parent of a player in a certain division that arranges sponsorship through their various connections in the business community. Does it matter where the uniforms come from? Why not have a second or even third set of uniforms for a team? Last time I checked they don't go bad. It seems like the association, as well as the parents are more concerned about the logo on the front of the uniform than the child wearing it. What odds if they have enough uniforms to wear a different one for every game! Let the kids play!!!

Not sure what is happening in Clarenville. Last time I watched the news Mr. Jack Lee said it was all about the kids!! Now I speak to my relatives in Clarenville and the executive and Mr. Jack Lee have suspended the 4 coaches and the children can not attend provincials with the coaches..... I guess neither can be trusted on their word. It came right from Jack Lee that everything was put behind and now it is all brought up again.

I have been a hockey mom with this association for a very long time. Knowing the particulars of both sides of this issue, my opinion is that both sides are to blame for this. Have had issues with the operation of this executive but I also have problems with a parent not obeying the policies of the association. I certainly think that this boy shouldn't have been suspended. There are bigger fish to fry besides these issues such as some coaches actions and being held accountable!

"Small town cheap" is how many would describe this whole fiasco. Parents take the hockey seriously because the stakes are so low. Shame on the parents involved.
- Wow....just wow
- February 23, 2013 - 10:04
It is sad that a trivial matter has become such a controversial issue. The Packet has written some insightful articles on the economy, politics, and the environment that should have created discussion on this forum. Often important stories see little or no comment while this topic has generated he most comments I've seen in a long time. Too bad this energy isn't directed at lobbying for a long term care facility that is big enough to meet the needs of our seniors, remedying the traffic problem on the TCH, or attracting more family physicians. If hockey jerseys are so important you really need to take a hard look at your priorities.

You know something I think you should all just grow up. So what if only one team got the Jerseys. You are all acting like spoiled brats because you didn't get your own way. And as for the e-mails take them to the cops. It's not right and never will be to take things that far.maybe the Accosiation should lower the cost of some things so parents can afford it. Thank God my son is not mixed up in this. It seems like if your not from Clarenville you shouldn't have an opinion.
- Are all the facts out?
- February 22, 2013 - 07:24
Having asked people in the area about this there are a couple of facts missing. 1. This group had not been wearing these Jerseys - they were only being worn at practices. The Association Jerseys were in short supply for the team resulting in Kids having to change numbers by placing tape on them to adjust numbers but the donated Jerseys were still not being worn. 2. The group was under the understanding that the Jersey Issue was put to bed and that a discussion at the AGM would serve to adjust or reaffirm the position of the Executive. 3. The only issue that caused the "blow up" was the suspension of an 11 year old child for what the father did. If the child had not been suspended then no concerns would have been raised. I am not from Clarenville nor am I connected to the minor hockey system. I asked a friend of mine in the area what was up and this is what I was told. Shame that the groups couldn't resolve what appears to be a minor issue without dragging a kid into it and creating a big mess!!

GROW UP!! Learn what RESPECT is and start showing it! There is absolutely no respect here. First off parents, your child is NOT in the NHL its minor hockey its for FUN, its where we play FAIR and make friends and memories to last a lifetime! Parents you are not in charge of your child's team the minor hockey executive is they are there for a reason. These people are the ones who are brave enough to take on a leadership role! They are always the best suited for the job but at least they are trying. PARENTS SHOULD RESPECT THE EXECUTIVE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING........ MOST OF THE TIME Now Minor Hockey Executive, you are all doing a good job BUT I AM DISGUSTED WITH YOUR RULING TO TAKE AN INNOCENT CHILD AWAY FROM HAVING FUN! There has to be another way to deal with CHILDISH and DISRESPECTFUL parents. I am so very upset about the decision to remove a child from minor hockey for something a parent or parents did. This should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED SHAME ON YOU FOR THIS THE MEMBERS INVOLVED NEED MORE RESPECT FOR THE CHILD Now what really turns my stomach is that people such as the parents of these kids would be so IDIOTIC DISRESPECTFUL AND CHILDISH as to HARASSING AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSING the members of the executive! THESE PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE ANY SUCH ABUSE once again where is your respect???? As a referee I too receive harassment and abuse such as this from many BUT NOT ALL parents and coaches because these parents and coaches think that they can do MY JOB better than me and they think that I am not doing my job right! YET they do not have the courage enough to take my place and do what I do! This is the same situation here! PARENTS LET THE EXECUTIVE DO THEIR JOB FOLLOW THEIR RULES! You do your job as a parent and cheer for your child, DO NOT TRY TO DO THE EXECUTIVE'S JOB OR THE REFEREE'S JOB if you want to then go ahead and join the executive or be a referee see how it feels. I too often feel like just quitting as a referee just like the executive did because it is simply just not worth the harassment and abuse. DO YOUR OWN JOB NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S FOLLOW RULES DO NOT PUNISH A CHILD FOR A PARENT'S MISTAKE HAVE RESPECT WE NEED MORE RESPECT

I find that this article is slightly biased, most likely based on the source of the info. However, this whole situation has become a political minefield. There are an series of events that have occurred that can be viewed several different ways by different people. Some, could say the exec had its biases to Certain groups. maybe, maybe not. I would ask the merit of the decisions made on the jersey issue, as i never did discover the specifics of why they were taking such a hard line with personalized jerseys. in the past they were allowed to sew on the sponsors patch. Now, maybe this could seem silly, but as an outside observer, i did feel that this executive was more heavy handed then previous ones in their resolve for everything ("if you do/do not do "this" you get suspended" approach applied to pretty much everything... ). Evidenced by the suspension of the child to "punish" or pressure the parent for an apology. On that basis alone, maybe the executive should have been either warned or removed for allowing one of the cardinal rules of minor hockey (in the minds of many) to be violated by the suspension of the child. I however, do not support those who sent nasty and/or threatening emails, as someone who believes in law and order i can not sanction that approach. Does this mean the exec was right to resign? maybe, maybe not... its all a point of view after all.. how harassing were these emails? is there merit for criminal charges? or were simple questions or opinions being interpreted worse then they were? i don't know, nor will i ever know, so i can not judge. i do believe that a large part of the minor hockey community disagreed with several policies of this executive. but still thats what the AGM is for.. a diplomatic solution. Regardless of what is right and what is wrong, it now is what it is. hopefully they can salvage whats left, and move on to a newer and brighter era.

Corporate folks support many organizations and we should be thankful for that. Why would a parent think they have the right to replace a sponsor with another. They made a mistake and have no business doing that. Assume no parents had ties to the original sponsor that supplied jerseys the team was wearing..

I think the Hockey Moms should start organizing street hockey too; that way they can control fun and ruin that too like they spoiled ice hockey.

From the sounds of everything suspending the child was a very poor decision. Just the same, the exec made a decision that right or wrong should have been respected and obviously was not. If I were anyone on the exec, I would have a facebook page listing out each and every harassing e-mail I received along with every name attached. The parents that sent these harassing e-mails should be called out and held to shame for their actions here.

Having coached at the minor level some years back, it never ceased to amaze me how much small time politics - indeed small mindedness - dominates amateur sport. You get to see the mean, nasty, intemperate and intolerant side of ordinary people. Small things become big, unintended slights become the basis for intense animosity, and competition on the ice or the field pales in comparison with the jealousy and competition in the stands. Is it any wonder that so many kids show signs of social and psychological maladjustment in adulthood. Just look what they are learning from their parents. I don't need to know the grimy details to know that a lot of people behaved badly here, including the executive. Rather than sit down and resolve the issue in a quiet, non-confrontational, reasoned manner, they all went for the jugular. But the most odious of all was the decision to hold the child hostage by barring him from play until the parents issued a written apology. Why not turn the association over to the children themselves - they couldn't do any worse.

Clearly the only one to blame in all of this is the child. Children should know better. It's only right that he barred from playing hockey with the other kids. He's lucky they didn't make it a lifetime ban. Just another kid gone bad in my mind.

Are you nuts blaming the child?????????????
- Ed. Anstey
- February 21, 2013 - 17:33
maybe his/her parents would not let him/her wear the proper jersey therefore the assoc. would have to suspend him/her for not following the rules. you cannot have every player make and play by their own rules. DUMB PARENTS.

There is an executive in place here. Because of this, you just can't have others making decisions which could affect any association, As foolish as this incident may seem, the association of any sports have to have control. Once decisions are made outside the various associations, all hell will break lose. This association is in charge--parents voted them in--so, if they want change, vote for a new association, but ,remember, you vote for these volunteers to make decisions. Changing a simple rule WILL cause future problems.

Really a whole executive walked out because of a dispute on jerseys????? This seems a little strange.....I personally think that there is way more to the story then is written here....It seems like a child was punished for nothing and a group tried to support this child and also the same group of parents purchased jerseys in a wrong manner but still not the child.....Seems things have gotten a little out of hand I would love to hear the rest. I'm not so quick to side with the source of this article.

I left Clarenville many years ago but i see things have not changed much the self chosen few still run the town .Good for the executive now let the know it alls do it yeah right.

Skipper, I am also a former resident of Clarenville and I couldn't agree with you more. Even back in my day, there were a select few whose kids seemed to always get named MVP and team captain, and their parents were town councillors and teachers. They weren't always the best players, but because they were "popular" and their parents were so heavily involved, they seemed to floate through all the sports teams on top, when they weren't the best players. We all know that Clarenville is cliquish. Thank god I chose to leave and raise my children elsewhere. I see that things haven't changed.

- February 21, 2013 - 14:00
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Childishness ruining a game for children....you'd think it would be the kids who are childish not the parents.. if you locked the parents out of the arena, the kids would have one hell of a fun time!!!
- Why do adult disputes affect kids?
- February 21, 2013 - 13:44
There is always at least 3 sides to every story. If a parent committed an offense that contravenes an established rule that is one thing. If the child was not part of it why was the child suspended? That is the equivalent of a parent going out and robbing a store and the child being sent to a Boys home as a result. What is concerning here is that a child was suspended despite having (at least as reported) not committed any offense. If the Executive received derogatory emails then that is a separate issue. That certainly wasn't appropriate either. They are volunteers. They can be questioned and certainly people can have differences of opnions. These differences need to be about the issue and not the person. I hope that at some point they are able to get together and put petty adult disputes to one side and remember that the sport is a kids sport and it should be about them.

Who is responsible for suspending a child for his/her parents actions? That is SAD....pretty bad when you can't get along...What does it matter what they wear....Sheesh....Another reason my child is not in hockey in this town!
- iwasthere
- February 21, 2013 - 12:56
To A Mom: no where in the article does it say a Mother had done this! It states a parent only. Also, these people are volunteers.....why can't the parents on the hockey team respect that? I've been to many minor games in my life where the volunteer coaches and staff are harrassed by parents.....it's just disgusting. I say "Good job for the entire executive staff sticking together and quitting. Who needs that kind of harrassment!

- February 21, 2013 - 12:54
I agree with some of the other comments. This is suppose to teach the kids team work, where are the adult expamples of how to effectively resolve conflict? I say let the kids where they want, Take the politics out of the mix and suspend the parents! The kids should not suffer the sins of the idiot adults!

Since we keep hearing more and more about sports organizations and associations suspending juvenile athletes due to a problem with his/her parents, I think the Newfoundland and Labrador Government and Sport Newfoundland and Labrador should ban clubs and associations from punishing athletes due to a parent or guardians actions. Suspensions or expulsions are only supposed to be issued to a particular athlete when he/she commits a serious infraction, not because of parental/guardian complaints. Keep in mind that athletes can't choose their parents, only the creator can, meaning that Clarenville Minor Hockey Association and other athletic clubs should have no rights whatsoever to suspend or expel a child athlete due to a parent or guardian's actions. Hockey NL and Clarenville Minor Hockey Association, from now on, if you have a problem with parent or guardian complaints, don't make children suffer due and punish them, deal with their caregivers. Besides, suspensions are designed to deal with disciplinary matters of the athlete, NOT the parent.
- Seriously?
- February 21, 2013 - 12:31
As an outsider, this is how I see it: 1. A decision made by the executive should be respected. That's what a board is there for, to make decisions and ensure that rules are being followed. 2. A compromise was made to allow the jerseys to be worn during practice. Win-win situation. 3. Threats should NEVER have been made to ANYONE You're adults. Deal with it. 4. No child should have ever been involved in this issue. Ever. It is disgraceful to see adults threatening others over something so trivial. Seriously, no one here is 12...except for the poor kids who want nothing more than to enjoy a game of hockey. Shame on you all.

This makes me laugh. I agree with the decision of the exec to resign. Once again, the unfortunate actions of the few has resulted in the loss of hockey to many.

- February 21, 2013 - 12:01
Its too bad for the association. I understand how they feel. Rules are in place so that people including the executives are not running all over the place doing whatever they like. It sounds like the parent has a big issue here. I guess this is what some people are teaching the kids. No matter what the law says you can go out and break it. Harassing phone calls!! Grow up parents.

A fuss kicked up over hockey parents getting out of hand? Say it isn't so! This is exactly the type of scenario that has parents like me dissuading their children from taking up the game in the first place. I remember well the environment from my own minor hockey days; not much has changed from the sound of things. So much small-minded bickering, negativity and hot-headed ego trips it's not even funny. In the end, it's the kids who pay the price for the childish egos and temper tantrums of the supposed adults; imagine the lessons they'll take away from this. Shameful and pathetic.
- A Parent
- February 21, 2013 - 11:55
Not everyone knows the whole story here. This is not about Jerseys. A child was held ransome by the executive to make a parent apoligize. The child was removed by no fault of his based on accusations towards the parent.
- Hockey Parent
- February 21, 2013 - 11:52
Seems that suspending the child might be a little much but was likely the only way to get rid of the Dad / parents. If an organization has rules it has rules and no one man is beyond them. He got what was coming to him / her. These people are volunteers and they have lives and children and jobs like everyone else. They do not need some parent who thinks they are above the rules ruining the experience for them as volunteers. Church and religion may have started wars but sports and parents have ruined many great friendships.
- Wow
- February 21, 2013 - 11:33

First we had parents risking life and limb by taking kids on the road in the height of a storm and being stranded on the side of the road overnight and now this. What is minor hockey coming too? People, it is only a game and at the end of it all these kids will ALL be playing in the same beer leagues. First rule of minor hockey should be NO PARENTS ALLOWED.............

- February 21, 2013 - 14:53
Parents are the problem......I have seen it many times. I have no children in hockey; however, the school system is just as bad......it is being ruled by parents and teaching the kids what??????...... how to be a bully!!!
- Michael D.
- February 21, 2013 - 11:25
The parent who decided unilaterally that the entire team should have new uniforms is the problem here. There is a Minor Hockey Association for a reason - to make decisions like this. But you will always have some parent, working on behalf of a some self-centred business, causing crap for the rest of the team. What a selfish person this parent is. The Clarenville Area Minor Hockey Association was correct to resign. Their job is to run the league. But if all it takes is one selfish parent to come in and cause chaos, then why bother wasting your time as a volunteer - knowing you are only going to get grief from selfish parents. Ms. Sullivan and her board deserve support. Not harassment.
- ashamed to be a hockey parent
- February 21, 2013 - 11:17
Forgive me if I am wrong but it seems that this is another one of those "I am entitled" moments. How do we expect a young person to respect the rules when the parents cannot? Seriously? Harrassing phone calls? Come on parents, grown up! It is only a game that you aren't playing, your child is. Show them how to be a good sportsman and not a bully
- Unreal
- February 21, 2013 - 10:50
Wow....this is suppose to be about the kids, playing a game, learning teamwork and HAVING FUN!!! Who cares what they wear....nice to see parents and executive and politics ruining something that not even for them. Way to go!

By the sound of it there were a lot of wrong doings here,but the biggest wrong doing was suspending that child for what his mother had done,talk about what a bully to do that to a child.How can we teach our kids to do the right thing when the adults act so childish.For the record I am not a mom of any of these children nor do I live in that area.?
- Some Parents need to know the Facts
- February 21, 2013 - 20:31
I am NOT a hockey mom but I am familiar with the Clarenville Minor Hockey Association and know the countless hours this executive have spent working for the good of ALL minor hockey players. It is really disgusting to see how one parent who is only concerned with his own son's team and who has no regard for the other players, the association rules or the executive can cause so much havoc by his ruthless actions. The fact that other parents who did NOT know what they were talking about jumped on the bandwagon and joined in the intimidation/harassment of the executive with their Facebook comments, using peer pressure to keep a team off the ice etc. just shows the appreciation that they have for the people who donate their time and skills for ALL the kids, including theirs. Realistically, the father had his son suspended from hockey because he was asked for a letter of apology for his inappropriate behaviour and he refused to provide it knowing that the consequences of his refusal was the suspension of his son. The association tries to treat all kids equally and NOT have one team(?? A Team) in a division with new jerseys with their names on them while the other team on the ice just has old jerseys. It amazed me to see that one of the most vocal parents against the executive on this matter was a parent who just a year or so ago was complaining about this type of favouritism but now finds it acceptable because her son is now on that A Team. Wow, how some parents ethics/morals change!! The Kids are fine, some parents are the REAL PROBLEM!!

Coloured and Other Stories
This collection includes stories of South Indian immigrant life in America told from various perspectives including a girl's awakening to racism not only against herself, but other races during high school and later in college; a man and his wife battle the growth of their lawn in their first home; a young woman struggles with the death of her father.
The debut short fiction collection by writer Rajakumar, Coloured and Other Stories is a multi layered look at South Indian immigrant life in America through the eyes of men and women confronted with mundane changes that challenge them to either retreat into themselves or connect with those around then.
Readers will enjoy the range of emotions evoked across these narratives which include humor, danger, love, and passion.
These are a few lines from a smattering of stories from the collection.
Purchase the book at Smashwords or Amazon.com.
"She imagined the scene a million times. Early one morning, on a narrow plank of wood in the Ganges, her uncle and cousins watch as his body ignites. The flames consume him, wrapped in expensive silk."
"What are a few inches when you know he will provide for you the rest of your life," her mother would have said, smacking her in the cheek.
"..Mother counted on her, the American bred, to cajole Father into freedoms"
"It was disconcerting to drive without the tinkling of cattle and bicycle bells, the horns flaring periodically as if in reassurance that yes, everyone was in everyone's way after all."
"He did not want to help. No one here wants to help. We are on our own."

Torrington police say complaint prompted search of shop
TORRINGTON -- Police said a complaint against an East Main Street business owner earlier this week prompted a detectives to execute three search warrants on Tuesday.
Torrington police Lt. Michael Emanuel said police received a criminal complaint against Randy Brumell, 33, of Torrington, that a gun was used, "possibly in the commission of a crime."

At least six Indian soldiers have been injured in an ongoing gun battle in Kashmir with the biggest group of infiltrators to cross from Pakistan in years, a top general of the Indian army has said.
About 30 to 40 heavily-armed fighters crossed the Line of Control dividing Kashmir between the rival nations in the Keran sector and are holed up for the past nine days in thick forests in the area, Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh told a news conference late on Wednesday.
India says rebel incursions have been rising in Kashmir over the past year, feeding an armed revolt there, but these groups were usually made up of five or six people.
"Today is the ninth day of the operation. This infiltration was attempted by strength of I would put it as about 30 to 40 militants," said Singh, who leads the Indian army's 15 Corps that is responsible for operations in the Kashmir Valley.
The army has killed 10 to 12 of them, he said.
'Special forces'
On Tuesday night, another group of 10 men had tried to cross over to join the fighters holed up about 200 to 300 metres on India's side of Kashmir.
"I would also like to tell you that from the operation, which has been going on till now and the strength and multiple points at which they attempted and the intentions which they had indicate that definitely they were some special troops. They were very well trained and this is quite different from the trends that we had earlier seen in the infiltration attempts," added Singh.
There was no immediate comment from Pakistan. Islamabad denies it is helping fighters cross the largely fenced border with India and has urged India to hold talks to tackle the decades old dispute over the region.
The latest fighting was taking place as the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif pledged in New York last weekend to work towards strengthening a 10-year-old ceasefire that has frayed in recent months.
But they failed to announce any concrete measures to advance peace talks that have been slow to recover since 2008 when Pakistan-based fighters attacked India's financial centre Mumbai for three days and killed 166 people.
Cross-border raids
Singh denied Indian media reports that the fighters had taken over a village in the Keran sector and said the military was fully in control of the situation.
The Kashmir region has witnessed numerous attacks and infiltration attempts from across the border in the last two decades.
The Himalayan region is one of the world's most militarised zones, with India deploying more than 1.3 million troops to quell the rebellion that triggered off in 1989.

I will, I have long since configured the ns1 and ns2 at GoDaddy, which was excepted just fine, it just didn't resolve for the additional (second) domain that I added. Also, a traceroute showed ns1 and ns2 going back to GoDaddy's ns71 and ns72 instead of the IPs I specifically placed in the nameserver creation, again perfectly accepted by GoDaddy. I called and they also confirmed that they were pointing to Google's Global DNS service. I'll try this and let you know what I come up with. Gotta get this fixed. I want ALL client users to use only my nameservers. Thanks again...will follow these instructions.

Total Body Warm Up Workout Routine
Calorie Burn
Workout Details
Pre-workout cardio and stretching is often grossly underestimated in importance.
When warming up, a stretch position should not be held for longer than 10 – 15 seconds. When doing a preworkout stretch routine, a short hold is enough to loosen up stiff muscles, but it is not enough to loosen up a joint.
Stretches done with the intention of increasing range of motion (corrective stretching) should be done after a full length exercise routine, when muscles are fully warmed - or at periods of the day when you have a significant amount of time before your next bout of rigorous physical activity.
For warming up, you should never hold stretches for an elongated period of time as this can expand and loosen joints making them more susceptible to injury.
Though different studies have debated back and forth about the benefit of stretching cold muscles before jumping straight into a strenuous workout, gentle cardio and working the range of motion of joints is inarguably a good way to start any kind of exercise routine.
When you go from a standstill directly into some kind of high intensity cardio that raises your heart rate and engages your muscles without a warming up, it causes a greater amount of stress on your body. This is because when your heart tries to circulate your blood supply through constricted blood vessels to feed your muscle tissue, it meets resistance and causes your blood pressure to spike momentarily.
Aside from potential health repercussions, this can also interfere with your fitness progress by leading to premature fatiguing, because your body has to catch up to the demands of blood and oxygen flow that your muscles are requiring.
This short total body routine engages a multitude of muscle groups in a way that steadily increases blood flow and flexibility, rather than shocking your system with positions that tax the muscles before they are ready, or before you jump straight into a full blown cardio routine.
This would also serve as a great cool down workout. If you want to use this as a cool down, do the cardio component at the beginning of the workout, rather than at the end.
Hello. I'm currently doing a 4 days split workout. I'm following a program that I've got in the internet.
here is the my program routine.
1. Warm up with cardio for 5-10 minutes.
2. Stretches and flexibility exercises for 5-10 minutes.
3. Workout Schedule
4. Stretch the worked muscles at the end of the workout, and cool down 5-10 minutes.
can i do your Total Body Warm Up Workout Routine as my warmup and cool down for my workout program?
This would be a great choice for your warm up and cool down.
One thing I would suggest to change about your daily workout structure is that you should move the Stretches and flexibility exercises to position 4. You should not do flexibility training just before working out as it can loosen your joints and increase your chance for injury. Flexibility training should only be done when you are not going to be doing demanding physical activity for a long period of time.
The warm up (like this one) is all you need before beginning your main exercise routine.
many thanks for the suggestion fitness blender. I will follow your suggestion. as i watch your video from the start I've told to my self that i think this warm up is enough before my exercises routine no need to do the stretching. Many thanks you told what is the best to do. many thanks for your quick response.
Hi , am a 155 lb 5'4 female, i delivered 9 months back, now trying to lose weight. I love your workouts but the only problem am facing these days is when i climb stairs i feel pain in my knee or when i bend to sit on chair or get up from a chair i feel this pain....is it because of me being overweight? can squats, lunges and jumping kind of motion be harsh on my knee? i started with warm up + low impact cardio + stretching at the end ...it feels good but am just worried that maybe i am making my knee work a lot ! please help
why I can not see the videos ,Help please
Hi I am about to start this program ,according to the book Dash diet my calorie intake is 1200 a day to lose weight ,my question is do I have to add amount of calories I lose with exersice to my 1200 calorie I take or not .I hope you understand my question ,
You have to add it. 1200 calories a day isn't much and you lose weight by doing this in any case, and by working out you "gain" the calories you may eat. (And by the way it's a fantastic way to reward yourself for working out ;))
I have been trying to find a good video of yours to WAKE UP too. My hubby gets up at 4:30 and I soooo want to be able to get up with him, but cannot get that sleepy out of me that early, This will be perfect! Thanks!
Second time doing this workout in the 8 week program. And today it was much easier!

The top 10 medicine ball moves
By Alex Harris
The wrecking ballThe wrecking ball
Watch any top-level fighter in training and youll see the medicine ball being administered. Its shape lets you exert both speed and force, increasing strength and agility, says pro MMA trainer Sean Keefe.\r\n
Russian Twist / 12-20 repsThe wrecking ball
For an iron-curtain core, sit holding the med ball with your arms extended and feet off the floor. Quickly twist at the torso, turning from side to side; breathe out sharply with each rotation.\r\n
This works your rotational plane to strengthen your turns and punches.
Twist and Throw / 6-8 repsThe wrecking ball
This is an explosive version of the previous move, building serious power through your core. Perform as before, but twist hard enough to launch the ball across the room with each rotation. Throw it to a partner, if you have one, or bounce it against a wall.\r\n
Keep each twist powerful to add width and definition to your obliques.
Dive and Throw / 8-10 repsThe wrecking ball
For some knockout punching power and a calorie-burning session to boot, kneel down and hold the ball to your chest. Now dive forward and throw the ball explosively in front of you.\r\n
Youre targeting your back, chest and core to develop functional muscle.
Chest Pass / 10-12 repsThe wrecking ball
Youll need a friend (or a wall if you dont have any mates) for this one. Simply hold the ball to your chest and drive it forward, throwing it in front of you. Scoop it up and repeat quickly.\r\n
Throwing moves build your triceps by activating the fast-twitch fibres.
Standing Rotation / 8-10 repsThe wrecking ball
Hold the ball in front of you, arms fully extended. Twist, swinging it from right to left to develop upper-body agility.\r\n
Standing forces your glutes and lower back into action to support your weight.
Wall Slam / 6-8 repsThe wrecking ball
This will boost the speed at which you can turn during sport. Perform as you do the previous exercise, but throw the ball at the wall with force.\r\n
If you play racquet sports, this will make your forehand terrifying.
Floor Slam / 8-10 repsThe wrecking ball
Stand holding the ball above your head. Eye up the floor and throw it down so it slams in front of your feet.\r\n
Consider this a standing sit-up only more effective for sculpting your abs.
Woodchop / 10-16 repsThe wrecking ball
Time to blaze body fat. Hold the ball at your right hip, brace your core and explode it up to the left. Chop it back down.\r\n
Roping in your shoulders, arms, hips, back and abs burns hundreds of calories.
Squat and Press / 8-10 repsThe wrecking ball
Build the power needed to get more air than Michael Jordan. Hold the ball, squat; explode up and press.\r\n
This primes your posterior chain (back, glutes and hams) for sport.
Jumping Slam / 6-8 repsThe wrecking ball
If you only do one move, make it this. Youll torch calories and hit your abs hard. Jump; slam the ball as you land.\r\n
This teaches you to access more strength, faster. And it sounds great.\r\n\r\n

CHARLOTTE -- Leah Walton will spend at least two-and-a-half years in prison for running over two women in 2010.
A jury found Walton guilty of involuntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury on Monday. And on Tuesday, a judge sentenced her.
Life for Lisa McIe will never return to what it was before Aug. 22, 2010, but Tuesday, it got a little better.
"I was happy," said surviving victim Lisa McIe. "I'm happy we got a little bit of justice here on earth and she's (Walton) going to have to clean up her act regardless."
A judge sentenced Walton to a minimum of two-and-a-half years and maximum of nearly four years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. She was given a suspended sentence of nearly two years for involuntary manslaughter.
Walton was also ordered to pay $18,000 for Lisa McIe's medical expenses.
It was mixed emotions for those close to this case. Family of Susan Karabulut, the nurse killed in the 2010 crash, wanted a stiffer sentence for Walton.
"I want Leah to know the pain she has caused my family, it will never go away," said Susan Karabulut's sister, Teresa Fabrizio-Kane. "I do feel bad, she's a young lady, but she has to be responsible for her actions."
"No matter how much time there will never be justice for my daughter," said Karabulut's mother, Isabel Fabrizio. And more than anything, the families wanted an apology. "Find some remorse, she has none," said Karabulut's sister, Joyce Robinson. "She (Walton) has not shown an ounce of remorse, the only time she apologized was in front of the jury."
Walton's defense attorney immediately appealed her conviction. Her other charges were consolidated. Walton was also sentenced to probation for six years once she is released from prison.

Quick, call the CDC. We've got a Rocky Mountain outbreak of Acute Sore Loser Fever. After failing to stave off two historic recall bids on Tuesday, two delusional state legislators and their national party bosses just can't help but double down and trash voters as dumb, sick, criminal and profligate.

So, I continue to track all of my food, exercise, and eat in a generally healthy way (let's not discuss the movie nachos, m'kay? and YES, I counted all the calories for them). Yet I'm stuck; I haven't lost weight in a couple of weeks.
I'm not upset about this, yet I hear a familiar soundtrack in my head, the one that always plays when the needle on the scale isn't moving. I hear whispers of "it's only because of PMS" (sure, maybe) and "it was the Chinese food, too much salt" (okay) and even, at the worst, "why bother?" Happily, I'm not feeling overwhelmed by those thoughts, but they are reminding me that I am, indeed, "dieting" because that sort of mental noise only comes when I'm actively restricting food.
Instead of letting those thoughts overpower me, I've decided to go back to limiting carbs. I was, initially, eating only a bit of fruit in the morning and at lunch, and having only a small amount of carbs at dinner (a small potato or a cup of rice, that sort of thing). But when I ramped up the exercise, I found myself having heavy blood sugar crashes, so I added carbs to breakfast and lunch again.
Hopefully my body is used to the exercise enough that I can return to limiting my carb intake; I think I'll be fine on regular days where I just go to the gym, but I might need to be more careful on days I hike (which is generally 2+ hours of exercise instead of just an hour). We'll see.
Forgive me for working through this all out loud, but hey! This is my brain, dumping on my blog page. Heh.
In other news, guess what Friday was? TORI'S SEVENTH BIRTHDAY.
I'm working on her yearly movie, so stay tuned. God, I love my kid. Here she is trying honeysuckle juice for the first time on our hike Saturday… and yes, those are some blonde streaks at the front of her hair. She wanted me to put in pink, but it turned out she liked the blond so much she didn't do the pink. Adorable.

I arrived home three hours later, in darkness. Boy, did that go fast.
It's easy to feel like your life is on fast forward, especially when you're having fun, and now researchers know why.
When we are in what the Bigwigs call "high approach motivation" — meaning we feel like we want to go out and accomplish something — we also have a tighter focus and sharper memory. When we are in this state — which excitement and desire can bring on — we are able to shut out irrelevant thoughts and feelings and give greater attention to the moment.
During dinner with the girls we were talking about fun and interesting things. I was engaged in the conversation and also receiving helpful input and support. That inspired me, got me excited, and the evening slipped by.

Seth Minkin and Jeffrey have just started a collaboration, where Seth's paintings are artfully rendered onto the dials of Jeffrey's watches. I sent Seth a few questions about their collaboration and will be sharing his responses over the next few days. We will have some photographs of their first completed piece on the final day of the interview.
1.) Your studio is in an office building which is highly unusual for an artist. Can you talk about how you came to be in this situation and how you have collaborated with the firm?
I was initially introduced to this company through the CEO. I met up with him while I still lived in San Francisco and he asked me for some ideas about the art in his office. He was toying with the idea of having a mural of some sort painted on the wall of the office, but wasn't sure this was the right approach, since the company was growing and they didn't know how long they would be in the space. We went back and forth quite a bit and, in the end, decided on two large paintings that were related to the company's brand. A few years later, I moved to Boston and the company had moved into a phenomenal new space. They had just received a multi-million dollar round of funding and were in hyper growth mode. They invited me to sit in on a project they had called "90 Days," which was basically a collaboration between me, a writer and the rest of the team at the company. The goal of the project was to expose what was going on within the company in relation to getting such a large injection of capital in an open, interesting and transparent way. The framework for the project became a blog, which was based on a painting called "The Bento Box" which I created for the company. Every day, a new blog entry was posted that corresponded to a piece of the painting. It started off on day 1 with the painting being black and white and, as entries were added to the blog, each piece was rendered in color. It was a great opportunity to work with an incredible team of people and to really match visual art with great writing and intellectual capital. At the conclusion of the project, the CEO asked me to stay on board and paint in the office space full time as a way of encouraging creativity in the company's culture. It has been a great symbiotic relationship. I have filled their space with my art and, in turn, I have been able to work within an amazing environment with very smart and talented people who give me instant feedback on my work.
2.) Have you ever done any other collaborations?
When a client commissions a piece, my process is usually very collaborative in the sense that, having actually selected a subject, they are likely to have an opinion on the details. In many cases, the subjects of commissions are close to the heart of the client and are not necessarily images that I have worked with before. Therefore, it really helps to have an open dialog with a client to be sure that we are heading in the same direction. I have been fortunate to have worked with some extremely talented clients over the years who are very creative in their own right. These kinds of opportunities have been great collaborations and have enabled me to produce works that would have never come to life had these individuals not approached me.

"Judges is a difficult book. It is a story about Israel's willful idolatry, persistent sin, and stubborn disobedience. Remarkably, it is also a story about God's unrelenting grace and patient faithfulness to his promises. Tim Keller helps us see that Judges is not just a book "about those people back then," but a book for and about all of us: Judges is not just Israel's story, it is our story too. As we struggle with disobedience, idolatry, and failure, Judges holds out good news about God's redemption in Christ. Keller is a wonderful guide, holding out the gospel of God's grace and turning us again and again to the cross. I am delighted that such an excellent resource is now so widely available. Perfect for anyone who wants to see how the gritty and sordid tales of Judges point us to our perfect savior, Jesus Christ."

The Gay Geek Tackles YouTube
By Benjamin Lindsay
Do you have a favorite franchise? Why?
Canote: While X-Men was my first comic book franchise and Star Trek was my first sci-fi series, the series I will always come back to and where I feel the most at home is definitely Harry Potter. It was the first series I discovered on my own, the first fandom I got really involved with, the thing I was willing to wait out in the cold for year after year after year. I remember sobbing myself to sleep on my 11th birthday because an owl with my Hogwarts letter never arrived, but then spent the next day convincing myself that I was stupid to expect an owl because Hogwarts is only for British witches and wizards, and that the American school must do things differently and that I just had to be patient. I'm 23 and believe me, I still haven't given up hope of my letter arriving.
McNeil: I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my mom from the very first episode, so it'll always have a special place in my nerdy heart. But I've really taken to badass chicks who fight crime as a way of life. So Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost from The X-Men. I also love the Scott Pilgrim series, I think I've read it through about 50 times at this point.
Where do you see the future of the show? Where do you see yourself personally five years down the road?
McNeil: Just from the response what we've received so far, I don't think we're going anywhere anytime soon. We really look up to the big YouTubers out there who have paved the way for this to be a career. Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, Mamarie Hart, Tyler Oakley. We really want to make content inspired by these folks with out own twist, because they're some of the funniest and most entertaining people on the web. We both have our own personal channels too, and we're using those to create more personal content as well. In five years—who knows? I still want to pursue screenwriting and comedy, and I think this is a great segway into that kind of career path.
Canote: Five years from now, I have absolutely no idea where I'll be. A year ago May, I was graduating from UC Berkeley with no production experience and no prospects, and now I'm a vlogger by night, field producer by day for a boutique production company in the Bay Area. I'd love to still be doing Geeking Out or something like it, since I don't see myself getting any less geeky or any less gay, but I also want to work on producing original scripted content, be it my own or otherwise. I love talking with passionate creators who have stories and worlds to bring to life, so let's say that in five years, I'll be working as a development producer in the new media wing of things who hosts a show or two on the side.
Are there any additional projects you two are working on?
McNeil: Right now I'm taking part in YouTube's Geek Lab down at the YouTube Space LA, where after completing a training course and making six videos in their facilities over the next three weeks, I'll have full access to The Space for an entire year, which is really exciting. Hopefully this will help make the most of my content, and I'll be able to collaborate with some other amazing YouTubers. I'm also constantly writing and coming up with new projects I'd love to produce one day, so maybe this would be a great opportunity to see those through and get some more original content onto my channel. Weirdly enough, I've also been contacted by a few reality shows about this story, so we'll see!
Canote: Right now most of my energies beyond Geeking Out and my personal YouTube channel are focused on my job as a field producer and production coordinator for a Bay Area-based boutique production company. I do everything from errand runs to running field shoots to research and development on the equipment we use every day, all in the name of high quality, high profile live streaming. I'm also developing a series that I plan on shooting entirely on Google Glass, which I'll be getting this summer as part of the Glass Explorers program, as well as pulling out to shoot more stupid B-Roll on the set of Geeking Out. I'm constantly pinging Neil and my other production industry friends with ideas and what if's, so now I just need to push myself to make those what if's into realities in the coming months and years.
Catch Geeking Out's latest below.

Nuremberg's oldest city parish church was built around 1215 as a three-aisled Late Romanesque pillared basilica with two choirs. As early as 1309 the original side aisles were widened and altered in the Gothic style.[more]
The St. Giles' Church, Nuremberg's only remaining Baroque religious building, dates back to the former Schottenkloster (Irish Benedictine monastery) which was erected here around 1140 on the site of a royal estate from the earliest period of settlement in Nuremberg.[more]
Originally, the St. Elizabeth Church was part of a former secondary house of the Teutonic Order of the Knights.[more]
The Gothic old-Franconian Church of St. James in the southwest part of the Old Town, in the so-called "St. James' Quarter", was originally the hospice church for the Teutonic Order.[more]

Netflix Happens When a CEO Has Too Much Power
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When you do what I do, you have to make assumptions about other people. I take that seriously.
Whether you write nice things about them or give them a hard time, some CEOs simply do not want to talk to you.
I have reached out to Netflix (NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings several times -- through his company's PR department and directly via email. I have tried breaking the ice by bringing up the great work he does with charter schools. He wants no part of a dialog with me.
That troubles me, primarily because all I can do is assume and speculate about Hastings and what happens at his company. This guarded, closed-door policy Hastings enforces at Netflix hurts him.Like I told a Zynga (ZNGA) corporate communications person the other day, Don't be like Netflix! Put Mark Pincus out there. Let me sit down and talk to the guy. Humanize him! People, particularly investors and their end users, "hate" guys like Hastings and Pincus. They don't seem real. They have become multi-million dollar caricatures of themselves. They cash out options. They get rich in secondary offerings. And they have complete and total control of their less-than-well-managed companies. This makes them enigmas. That's a dangerous position for these guys to be in. Maybe you picked up Gina Keating's excellent book, Netflixed: The Epic Battle for America's Eyeballs, and read it in one night. It's page turner. You can't help but walk away from the book wondering about Hastings' ego, his seemingly out-of-control narcissism. There's no way not to because, other than lame YouTube videos and planned-well-in-advance magazine features (like this one in Vanity Fair where I get some love), the public has no lens, other than a murky, filtered media lens, to see Hastings through. So when I answer the PsychCentral's Narcissistic Personality Quiz for Hastings, here's what happens: And, no joke, I gave him the benefit of the doubt in a big way. This whole notion of access, egomania and control is a big deal. And word that Reed Hastings is in hot water with the SEC over a Facebook (FB) post he made only allows concerns over the amount of control he has at his company to resurface.

IDEA: Even people who have much to commend them can be driven to mean deeds through envy.
PURPOSE: To help listeners understand the power of envy to drive any and all of us to hurt others.
Most people underrate envy as a major sin because it's so easy to hide or mask:
A drunk can stagger into a church and everyone knows about it.
An usher can explode at a parishioner in the narthex and people hear it.
But we can sit through a church service envying everyone around us, and no one is the wiser.
Envy is a sin that can touch us all in spite of our level of "spirituality."
I. Great saints can be affected by envy.
Sarah, Abraham's wife, is held up by New Testament writers as an example of faith and submissive obedience.
Hebrews 11:11 holds Sarah up as an example of faith, who believed God's promise and, as a result, conceived and bore a son "when she was past the age." She counted God faithful who had promised her a child.
First Peter 3:6 holds Sarah up as an example of submissiveness to her own husband, "calling him lord." Other women are "daughters of Sarah" if they do good and are not afraid with any terror.
Yet Sarah's story in Genesis 16 and 21 shows the power of her envy of Hagar.
II. Sarah mistreated and later banished her maid out of envy (Genesis 16, 21).
The story:
Barren Sarah gave her maid Hagar to Abraham in order that Abraham might have posterity. But when Hagar conceived, Sarah treated her so harshly that she fled from Sarah's presence (Genesis 16:6) into the wilderness. God's angel sent Hagar back to Sarah and in time Hagar gave birth to her son, Ishmael. Sixteen years later Sarah conceived in her old age, giving birth to Isaac. At Isaac's weaning feast, Sarah saw Ishmael scoffing at Isaac. She demanded that Abraham send Hagar and her son away so that "the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son" (Genesis 21:10). Abraham didn't want to send off his oldest son into the wilderness, but God told him that He would protect him and make a great nation of him (Genesis 21:11-13).
Sarah and Hagar illustrate how envy can drive us to get people out of our lives. Sarah didn't care whether Hagar lived or died.
III. We see how envy works in our lives to get rid of a rival.
If it is in our power (as it was for Sarah) to dismiss someone from our lives, envy can push us to destroy someone else to ensure our own peaceful existence.
If it is not in our power to get rid of someone physically, we may resort to discrediting the person's character, destroying that person's opportunities or effectiveness.
Envy poisons our souls and drives us to mean-spirited deeds or words, despite our "spiritual advantages."
