text: Director Billy Crystal guarantees success for his movie in the perfect casting of the leads. Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan's religious sniper) is deft as Maris, and Thomas Jane is a perfect Mantle, a superman in a Yankee uniform. Despite the differences between family man Maris and hard-living Mantle, they form a rewarding friendship amid the media and fan frenzy. The shy Maris took the brunt of the storm, even facing boo-birds in his home stadium. Crystal and first-time writer Hank Steinberg keep the pace moving quickly between the field, the locker room, the press box, and the home front. The film never tries to dazzle with more than the facts (and it softens Mantle up a bit), yet it belongs on the short list of grand baseball movies. --Doug Thomas

Dr. Alex Shigo thoroughly researched tree wounds and "compartmentalization" as a tree's defense against infections. He adamantly stated that no surface treatment should be given to tree wounds, and that proper pruning cuts and implement sterilization were the best we could do when pruning is necessary. The main problem with paints and tars is that they prevent water and oxygen flow in and out of the exposed inner wood, trapping moisture and promoting infection. These products could also retard re-growth of new wood.
Envision a branch wound that has taken years attempting to seal itself. Now there is a large bulge of re-growth tissue with a hole in the middle where fungal rot is causing deepening decay. This slowly closing hole continues to allow moisture to enter and stay within the compartmentalized area, likely promoting more decay. Has anyone out there done research on a biodegradable, organic, non-growth retarding tree wound treatment that could perhaps offer enough temporary protection to allow the wound to get a good start to recovery? Something that would shed some of the outside moisture but would at the same time allow some oxygen and moisture exchange to the wound? Something like a light coat of pure linseed oil? It seems to me that this idea could at least be effective on smaller wounds that normally would take 3-5 years to seal or wounds to softer wooded species. If the linseed oil offered a season or two of declining protection the new growth would have a better surface on which to re-grow. Would this growth not cover a more solid surface sooner and more healthily than over a rotting, cracking and collapsing one? I would love to hear thoughts, pro or con about this query. And yes, I do admire Shigo's intense works. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Trees are pretty resilient! They've been growing, surviving damage, and healing themselves for a long time before we ever entered the equation. One thing that we can learn from Mother Nature is that she doesn't pamper or nurture nature's boo-boos. Make the healthiest cut and let the tree heal on its own seems to be the best cure. |
More than 80% of stress on trees a caused by man by way of over watering, under watering, improper pruning and so on. If pruning is done right they don't our help to heal |
- Posted by petzold6596 8b (My Page) on Sun, Jan 4, 09 at 15:25
Never prune a branch flush with the 'mother' stem. The healing process begins at the knuckle of the pruned stem. The knuckle is the swollen portion of the stem where one stem attaches to the 'mother' stem. |

I was searching on the internet for what to do about a new willow tree we just purchased that sustained scraping wounds during its transport. I found this thread on wound dressing, and it doesn't quite address a bad scrape. I know what to do as far as prevention, but what if you've got an accidental wound on the trunk? One wound is quite deep and about 3" long, and goes to the inner wood but not inside the inner wood. The other scraped off the outer part of the bark, but not into the interior. Should I just carefully cut around the scunned up part and remove it? In my research, I have read that "wound" treatments are not good for trees - but we are in Florida, it is high-humidity season and I am terrified my new tree is going to get a rot, infested by wound-loving beetles, or something. I know I'm not supposed to wrap it, but I want to put medicine on it and put a bandaid on its owie :-( I am so upset! I can post images if that would help. Please send some advice, and thank you.

Trees are not little kids :-)) They do not need you to dress their wounds - they are very capable of doing that themselves and much better than you could. Unless the bark damage goes around the circumference of the tree, there is nothing to worry about. And even less so with most willows as they are able to be cut back to a stump and still regenerate without issue. |
still you do not want to put anything on the tree |

The double-sided film tape we typically sell for adhering window insulation film to the interior of windows during the winter season is JVCC's DC-4109RS tape. If the film is heavier and you need a tape with a stronger adhesive then JVCC DC-4199CS would be another to look at. These would be the closest double-sided tapes our converter stocks which are similar to 3M's 2145C product for indoor insulator film mounting. As far as these tapes' removability you'd want to test them first on an inconspicuous part of the window frame to make sure it removes as desired. Please also remember the more adhesive the tape you go with the harder it will be to remove in the spring. Also both of these tapes are coated with an acrylic adhesive which provides moisture, UV and temperature resistance; however tapes with acrylic adhesive need a few minutes to an hour for the adhesive bond to set correctly when applying them. See our blog entry on general instructions on applying pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for more detailed instructions. Thank you.
UPDATE: We also now carry Duck Brand Window Kit Replacement Tape if you are looking for shorter length rolls for both indoor or outdoor window film installations.

Pamela Riemenschneider, Aisle WanderingBERLIN — I can't imagine who would need fresh cherries badly enough to pay $40 a pound for them.
click image to zoomSolid gold cherries? I've joked before about retailers picking up the new early season "Gold Plated Rainier" variety, selling them for $10 and $15 a pound just a week or two before they're on ad for $3.99 or less.
But the €69.95 a kilogram Australian cherries I saw last week at the Kaufhaus des Westens took the prize for "most absurd" thing I encountered during my retail adventures in Berlin for Fruit Logistica.
click image to zoomThis includes the cone-shaped cabbages. I had no idea cabbages came in such shapes.
There were flat, vaguely donut-shaped cabbages, too. I also saw miniature cabbages, which I hope no one confuses with Brussels sprouts.
Then there was the Brussels sprout-kale hybrid. That was pretty cool, and combines two of the hottest vegetables on the market right now.
The bacon-obsessed food bloggers are going to flip when they get their hands on these.
The best part of attending Fruit Logistica was seeing things that are different. Even ordinary things were slightly different.
European markets
click image to zoomPamela RiemenschneiderThis snack pack of baby carrots was just that -- baby carrots. And they were all pretty much the same size and shape and weren't peeled or trimmed. Carrots are oddly uniform in shape — stumpy instead of pointy — and instead of baby peeled carrots in a snack pack, they had baby carrots in single-serving trays, all roughly the same shape and size without mechanical interference.
Bananas hung from overhead racks in the urban markets I visited, which was a cool way to keep them from getting damaged, but probably not feasible for most U.S. retailers.
You'd have to have one clerk dedicated to banana replenishment from open to close every day. Maybe they could mechanize it and have it circle the display like a giant tie rack and have a guy continually restocking bananas.
click image to zoomPamela RiemenschneiderThese are not your ordinary donut shop sandwiches, and yet that's where they were. Every subway station had a stand selling something like this. Fresh produce was everywhere. Fresh food was everywhere.
Whoever says that all German food begins with bacon, onions and potatoes (not that there's anything wrong with that Holy Trinity of cooking) obviously doesn't hit up the myriad breakfast places with beautiful, fresh sandwiches adorned with green leaf lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers.
Sure, there was a lot of sausage and beer, but this was a produce lover's adventure in retail.
Come see the pictures at Produce Retailer.

I'm getting ready to plant a bed of a variety of echinacea. They're in 2 qt. pots, and most are flowering. Once planted, should I cut them back to produce more root growth? If so, how far back should they be cut? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You will want to cut back the spent bloom stems but I don't think you want to cut back the entire plant. Just provide ample water for a week or so until they get established. There's some great info on the link below. Check the topic Maintenance. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Caring for Your Echinacea
I know someone who cuts theirs back every spring so they will bloom shorter and a little later. The groundhog did this for me this year in one of my patches and I'm actually glad since it's towards the front of the garden bed. They are very resilient plants and just need extra watering when first planted. |
- Posted by nevermore44 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 21, 11 at 9:52
I would leave them be... unless they don't have much basal leaf growth. I saw at lowes they had a tone of white swan quart pots of echinacea, but they just look like you took a single flower stem and stuck it in the ground. I would cut this type back. |
- Posted by mamasllamas 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 23, 11 at 1:16
i disbud mine in the spring by pinching the single bud out, right when you can see it formed, this gives me a swirl/whorl of flowers and small new stalks around the main stem, i would just take off all the flowers and leave the stems alone and see if you get another flush of buds down the stem. the disbudding is a growers trick on mums, you pitch out/take the center bud out to get a new whorl of buds or if it's a bunch of buds and you only want one single you take all the buds off and leave the center bud on, how did i get to talking about disbudding holly |
I had a rabbit cut mine back for me once the length of the flower stem and it never came back. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Thu, Jun 23, 11 at 5:22
I had a mailman who was snapping off flower buds every day on his way past them in the front garden. (g) It was a mystery how that was happening. I kept finding one or two flower buds on the ground every day with no foliage disturbed. I thought it couldn't be an animal. The mailman was the only non family member who had come to the front door in that time period, so I got up early to watch the mailman one morning and sure enough it was him! He was unconsciously doing it. I found it pretty funny when I saw him doing it. I learned a great lesson from that though, because as fast as he would snap them off, the plant would put out new flower buds. That particular plant had 3x more flowers on it that year then any of the others. |

Have you suffered a serious traffic injury that wasn't your fault? If so, you need to seek justice before it's too late. This might be challenging for you, especially if you're in a lot of pain, but it needs to be done. Here are a few things you need to know about personal injury laws, and what your rights are.
So, just where am I going to find the right lawyer? This depends on the amount of research you do, and how much you're willing to pay. Of course, lawyers with more skill will charge more then inexperienced law offices, and those who don't win as many cases as they should.
Sometimes, hiring a more expensive lawyer back fires, it can mean you'll be in the red if you lose the case. Other times, it can insure you'll win. If the other person is really in the wrong here, you probably won't need a Harvard grad to win your case. If you're slightly more insecure about your chances of winning, then you might want to hire a successful lawyer. There are lawyers that won't make you pay if you don't win the case, they're called no win, no fee lawyers.
Most personal injury cases have to do with negligence. An example of this would be the defendant driving while intoxicated, and running over your mail box, or it could be a restaurant that doesn't make their employees wash their hands. Negligence comes in a lot of forms. Either way, the person responsible for the negligence, owes you, and the other people he or she has harmed, money.
Of course, some accidents are unavoidable, you won't have a case if the driver from the other vehicle didn't break any laws, or if the waiter's have been practicing good hygiene. Sometimes, people slide into vehicles, and the damage will be covered by the liability on car insurance. While other times, serious traffic accidents (example by commercial trucks) could have been caused by drivers looking at their mobile phone – which makes them 100% liable for the accident. If that's the case, and you live in let's say Saint Louis – I would recommend you to find a truck accident lawyer in the St Louis area.
Occasionally, customers get food poisoning from an unexplained source, and there's no compensation to be given. This could be the case, it's important to hire a lawyer, that way, you can make sure it's not.
The amount of money you'll be awarded will depend on the amount of damage done. If you have medical bills, you'll probably be awarded enough money to pay those. Of course, there's pain and suffering money. This isn't as easy to get though.
I hope you have a lot of fun finding the right personal injury lawyer. Now that you know a little more about the law, I'm sure you can make a wise decision about whether or not going to court is really right for you. Talk to a lawyer, they'll let you know.

"The inspiration to begin writing and illustrating for children came from my wife, Carol. As a kindergarten teacher, she collected picture books. I was attracted to their colorful pages and the way the words and pictures played with each other, much like the captioned cartoons I had drawn when I was young.
"Perhaps the biggest surprise of my career as an author is that I'm now going back to elementary school! Visiting young readers in classrooms and libraries is something I love. Kids keep me on my toes and they ask a lot of questions. The number one question seems to be, 'Where do you getyour ideas?' It's also the hardest question to answer because every idea is different. Some ideas seem to pop out of thin air — while I'm in the shower or walking the dog. Others come from reading or research. But most of my ideas come from my family and the things they do and say.
"For instance, one time when my first son, Walter, was five years old, I found him lying on the couch, looking pale as a ghost and clutching a Bible to his chest. He was praying! When I asked what was wrong, he wouldn't answer. In fact, he wouldn't even open his mouth. My wife, Carol, finally coaxed a response from him: he pointed inside his mouth. Carol exclaimed, 'You have a loose tooth!' Walter's eyes nearly popped out with fright. We quickly assured him that it was perfectly okay for his tooth to come loose and that a new one would replace it. But Carol and I looked at each other and realized that despite all our efforts to be good parents, we had somehow completely forgotten to warn Walter that teeth fall out! He had thought he was falling apart! I made a little note in my journal; then ten years later, I expanded that memory into my book Parts."
Tedd Arnold lives in Elmira, New York, with his wife, Carol, two sons, Walter and William, two cats, Cody and Frankie, and one dog, Hershey.

I had a falling out with my contractor (long story) who left me with a maple bathroom vanity with no knobs. I want to drill them myself but I need some guidance. I understand the need for keeping the drill level and I have access to a drill with a built in level. MY husband made a jig out of wood but the jig already has an elongated hole from a practice drilling though scrap wood that went wonkers. I might be better off doing it free hand (without the jig).
The door fronts are 3/4 inch thick but the drawer fronts are 1 1/2 inch thick. Will it be hard to keep the drill level though the 1 1/2 inch thickness with out something like a drill press? I also noticed another problem when we did the practice drilling, when the drill exited the back of the scrap wood it splintered, how do I keep that from happening? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Make a jig up ising 3/4 inch thick wood for the front and the guides to position it. This is thick enough to help hold the drill straight and not wallow out easily. Use a clamp to hold the jig and a scrap of 3/4 inch wood on the back of the door or drawer. Drill. If the screw head can strike a face frame, you may need to countersink the hole on the back side (inside cabinet door) and use a flat head screw. Flat heads can also be handy in drawers if you want a rack/tray to fit flush to the front of the drawer. |

Where to start? Measure twice (thrice, if necessary) drill once. Fixing a hole on the front a drawer is hard to do. A brad point bit helps a lot. They're different that the ordinary twist drill because they come to a very sharp almost needle like point. They also are far less likely to wander and they make a very clean entry hole. You can find them a woodworking stores, better home centers and hardware stores, or online. You'll likely need a 3/16" bit. You can make a jig to help with positioning. If you don't want to make one Rockler (www.rockler.com) sells them for a relatively modest price. If you just have a few drawers to do, you can just measure carefully and mark by hand. Just some green painter's tape to cover the approximate position of your hole. Green is easier to see pencil marks on than blue. Drilling level takes practice. They do sell some portable drill press devices but I haven't used anyone them so it's hard to say if they would help in your situation. As for splintering as the drill exits, just clamp a scrap of wood behind the hole. You may need longer screws for you hardware too. You're looking for what's called a "truss head" screw – they have a much larger head than a regular screw which will help to cover any splintering on the back side. Rockler carries them, as does McFeeley's. Depending on your drawers you might need to take a careful look at where the center of the drawer front relates to the drawer box. I've run into situation where the screw head would hang over the edge of the drawer box. Good luck! Mike |

Our postman is retiering after 30 years on our beat. I would like to give him something, but I don't know what.
Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A gift certificate to a restaurant in the town where he lives. |
Almost any kind of a gift card would be appreciated, especially one that could be used anywhere, like an American Express, Visa, MasterCard, etc. |
You might want to check on post office regulations before you decide what to give him. I think it's actually illegal for mail carriers to accept cash gifts. But of course, that leaves a world of other gift possibilities. :o) Karen |
Along with a gift card (I agree that's what is likely to be most appreciated), a thank you letter that mentions the instances when he went "beyond the call of duty". If you know his hobby/avocation, a card for something in that interest would feel more special. To be honest, I don't really remember which who gave me restuarant/generic gift cards at my retirement; I will never forget the ones who got together and gave me a gift card for my favorite plant nursery and another giftcard for a local fabric shop! |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 12 at 19:43
Thanks all for your suggestions. I think I'll go with a special "thank you card". I'm a little worried about giving him anything worth any money, as mjmercer mentioned. He has worked so hard that I don't want to do anything to jinx his tetirement. |
Maybe a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies to go with the card would be O.K. I know it would be fine with me, if I were the recipient! :>) |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Mon, Sep 10, 12 at 19:27
On the last day of our postman's delivery, we gave him a thank you card and a present. We thanked him for his excellent job and he said it was a pleasure to serve us all these years. We shook hands and wished each other good luck. Since then, we have not had a mail delivery or anyone pick up our mail from the mailbox. No matter how big an agency or a business, and individual can make a big difference. |
Maybe that's their new way of doing things now, the person retires and so does the route. ---That is absurd how they just forgot you folks! |
How great that you could thank him and honor him. I get the shivers, though, to think that postal service might end like this, through attrition! Please keep us updated. I hope you get your mail soon. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 19:18
I received some mail yesterday, it was after 5pm, so I don't know who actually delivered the mail because I don't think the PO delivers after 5pm. Last week my neighbor next door received some mail, but it was not his so he walked it down the block and delivered it himself. I received some mail today, but the flyers from the local stores were not included. Oh, I do miss our mailman. |

Jump!Zone is an inflatable indoor play center packed with moonwalks, bouncers, and giant slides for children ages 2 to 12. With a pass to six open play sessions, mini-humans can slip on a pair of socks and experience all nine of the facility's bouncy attractions. An 18-foot fire truck makes a great slide and provides an excellent career idea for kids who still haven't decided what they want to be, while the playplace's giant alligator and the Jurassic Adventure Combo help grade-schoolers explore the softer side of everyday predators. Children who prefer stationary entertainment can dominate the air hockey table, leaving their adult counterparts free to recite the periodic table of elements backward in peace.
Whether you're a vino virgin or wine aficionado, one of Vintage's 100 wines is sure to tickle your tongue and glamorize your gullet. Sixty-five grapen goodnesses are available by the glass, including the Sicilian Arnacio Nero D'Avola ($5) and the South African Jam Jar 2009 Sweet Shiraz ($6). Taste three wines at once during a flight such as the Chardonnay flight, which includes wines from Sonoma, South Africa, and the Central Coast of California ($12). To complement the grape blood, there's small plates ($4 and up) such as pan seared goat cheese cakes with pear jam and entrees ($14 and up) like the herb gnocchi with butternut squash and sage brown butter. Or, combine one of more than 25 beer selections with pizza ($9 and up) made on Vintage's house-made dough.
Bars are great spots for declaring preemptive thumb war on unsuspecting foes, so you'll need to stockpile rations for a lengthy campaign. Sidebar's menu offers plenty of options, including appetizers such as onion straws ($5.95), quesadilla rolls ($5.95), Juan Parnello's queso dip ($5.95), and Sidebar wings (6 for $4.95, 12 for $8.95). Dig your mouth-shovels into a tasty burger that's hand-pattied daily with 80/20 Black Angus beef. Burger options include the Soprano (pizza sauce, onion, and two cheese sticks, $7.50), the Devil's Advocate (spicy ranch sauce, sliced jalapeno, and provolone, $7.25), and the Double Jeopardy (two patties with your choice of cheese, $8.50).

Pearl, Joanna, Robert. These are some of the folks you might meet at the nightclub and honky-tonk known as Bobby Mackey's. There's just one thing: they're dead. These three are just some of the ghosts that fans say occupy the venue, a former slaughterhouse?and current gateway to hell, according to urban legends?whose eventful history includes episodes of murder, suicide, and betrayal. Many clubs and Las Vegas-style casinos have called the site home since the early 19th century, but it's Bobby Mackey's name that has popularized the facility's eerie nature with viewers of Syfy, Travel Channel, and National Geographic Channel. Of course, the honky-tonk has plenty of attractions for fans of the un-undead. An esteemed country singer, Bobby often performs with his band on Fridays and Saturdays, and other musicians regularly stop at the stage, too.

Effect of altitude on MS
Does anyone know the effects of altitude (so low oxygen) on MS? Can not find the answer and am shortly travelling to Quito. My husband also has great hopes of dragging me up by train to Machu Picchu next year, but I'm not sure...after all they treat MS with high concentration oxygen tanks don't they? Might the opposite cause problems?
I live at almost 7,000ft and have no bad effects from high altitude. However, I have fit and healthy friends and family come visit and they experience altitude sickness, so I think it varies from person to person.
A friend told me her MIL gets something from her Dr. to take several weeks before coming to the mountains to avoid altitude sickness but I am not sure what it is. You may want to ask your Dr. about it. Also, drinking a lot of water and staying hydrated is important. Have fun on your trip.
Opiegirl, Dx 1991 Have never used DMD's. LDN 9/2011-9/2012 & just started again 6/14 Estriol 9/12-present Still Hopeful. |
I live at 5000 feet, but frequently travel higher. Last weekend I rode my bike over two 10,000ft passes. I don't say that to brag, just to say that the altitude doesn't bother me.
As opie said, there is plenty of things to do to prepare for the altitude that everyone should do. I wouldn't think that your MS would cause any problems. There is a lady with MS that climbed Everest recently. |
I think everyone is different,why don't you ask your Neuro My neuro has a fit every time I even fly. Eachone of us is effected so differently by our MS.
I wanted to fly to Europe to see my son & I thought my Neuro was going to have a Stroke right in front of me. He said "Give me his phone # I'll call him & you can talk as long as you like". I thanked him & went home & called my son & gave him the bad news. Keep us posted God Bless Nona Judy |
I live at over 7,000 feet and go back and forth to work at 5,000 feet - I never notice any difference with my MS. Well, other than it is much hotter at 5,000 feet and I am heat intolerant.
I have family members living at sea level and at 3,000 feet, and I don't notice any problems visiting them either. Most commercial aircraft are pressurized to around 6,000 feet, so since I don't have problems where I am living at 7,000 feet, no problems with the plane either. If you are not used to higher altitude, be sure to drink lots of water and take it easy the first few days at the higher altitude. That means - don't go for a big hike up to Machu Pichu your first day! I can't hike because of foot drop and leg weakness, but it wouldn't be the thin air stopping me. If you have underlying heart or lung problems (usually not related to MS), then the thin air at higher altitude may cause you trouble. But as far as I know, that's because of the heart trouble, or lung disease like emphysema, not MS. Even though I have bad asthma, I'm fine at altitude so long as I take my meds. I hope you have a wonderful trip! I've been to Quito, it's beautiful there in the Andes! |

The Turkish AKP Party As a Model for Democracy Amongst its Maghreb Arab Neighbors
September 25, 2008 by TMO
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
Washington–In the August 29th (#10:36) issue of this paper, I composed an article on "Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood." That article was based on extracted comments of Ibrahim El-Houdaiby in a Symposium held at the Center for Islam and Democracy (CSID) in the American capital during last summer.
The Conference addressed the question of the influence of the Turkish Peace and Justice Party (Adalalelet ve Kalina Paristi) – or the AKP upon their neighboring Arab Democratic Movements. Today, I shall look westward from Asia Minor and the Nile towards North Africa's Maghreb's Democracies.
The first presenter from the Mahgreb was Mohammed Yakim, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Party of Peace and Justice in Morocco.
For him, the Turkish experience mainly encompassed Civil Society parameters. His Party of Peace and Justice in the far west of the North African Arab-speaking States, has positioned Democracy together with Human Rights.
The Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Turkey have many commonalities, but Al Mamlakah al Maghribibayah (Morocco) is an Islamic State by its Constitution whereas Ankara's Charter declares itself to be a secular entity. Further, Rabat's Democratic Parties are dissimilar from those in the West whereas Istanbul is emulating Europe for the purpose of entering their Union (i.e., the E.U.).
Mohammed stated his Party of Peace and Justice and Development in Morocco has stabilized the national terrain although the nation suffers from Balkanization brought on by the weakness of its political Parties and the fracture between the kingdom's social classes.
The next presenter was Aberzak Makri, one of the founders of the Movement for the Society of Peace in Algeria, stated, "Democracy can be the only sure guarantee of [for] the State…"
Dealing with religious issues is largely legally accomplished (either through sacred or secular statutes).
One of the central differences between the contemporary Turkish and Arab federations is the "Constitutional" role of the military. In Anatolia the Generals are the defenders of the Secular State while, in most Arabic-speaking realms, the officers take more of a back seat to the political functioning of their nation states. The Turkish military accepts its people's Democratic rights whilst this is far from true in the budding Arabic Democracies.
Aberzak's Party was formed in the 1970s. During this time (to the present) over four hundred of its workers have been slain by Islamists!
A considerable number of their members are women. For the most part the Movement has been free of harassment from the authorities. The association's values are thoroughly Islamic! Our "Main goal isn't Islamism…but good governance."
Our "Economic vision is Liberal [in the contemporary sense]. [That includes] Open markets fiscally…while [maintaining] a balance between the public and private sectors." Further, Makri holds to the "Zakat principle to elevate the populace from poverty." Central to his and his faction's efforts is to resist public corruption. It is "Corruption…[that] creates Terrorism!"
The religiously Established but Secular State institute a societal stability. Terrorism has damaged individual lives and the stability of the social order! The land of your birth must assure liberty and the hope for change!

Fly the Unfriendly Skies
Return to the air in World War I with two new Wings of War expansion packs |
Wings of War | Published 15 January 2010 |
Wings of War is an innovative card game that realistically simulates aerial combat in both World War I and World War II. Wings of War miniatures are three-dimensional accessories for Wings of War that couple the same revolutionary game play with beautifully-sculpted and historically-accurate models.
To bad FFG are not doing wings of war anymore. I love this game.
I'm looking forward to the "Hit and Run" booster pack. When will be the release?
Looking forward to the release of these two packs!

Some motorcyclists are traveling across the country to teach the elderly the importance of staying active.
The ten men, and one woman, are all from Taiwan, and Wednesday they rode through the Central Coast.
Some of them were featured in a documentary called "Go Grandriders" in 2012. It shows their 730 mile ride through Taiwan in 2007.
The riders are all in their 80s. Many of them have arthritis, cancer, or heart disease.
Wednesday they toured the San Luis Obispo Mission, met with Mayor Jan Marx, and paid a visit to the Manse on Marsh.
The next leg of their ride goes through Santa Barbara.
