5 Go For It! The best experience I've ever had- what a boost!haniharrison | 19/07/2010 | See all haniharrison's reviews (1)I'm not going to deny it I was sceptical with this product. Asking myself, 'what do you get 4 a tenner now days?' But WOW! I took my mum along (who is very shy) for her birthday and we were treated like royalty. We went to the Birmingham studios which are in a lovely area with plenty of parking nearby. We were greated by friendly staff who sorted everything for us. It was very professional and fun. The hair and makeup team were amazing and i loved my makeup they did. We were not pressured to do any thing we didnt want to. I had heard lots of horrible stories about being forced to buy the photos, but it wasnt like that at all. We were left alone to look at them and talk about which ones we would like. They made every effort to help us get the pictures we wanted within our budget.It was an amazing day, and gave my mum a real confidence boost- which made it priceless!Go for it ladies, treat each other you will never forget it xxx
5 brill day out and lovely photoskaz407 | 21/03/2010 | See all kaz407's reviews (1)i bought this as a gift for my mum, and we both loved it! the staff we all lovely from reception right through to the make up artists and the photographers and made us feel at ease the whole time!the only thing i would recomend is putting some money on the double your money offer as trying to chose just the one picture would be very difficult! we ended up with 7 photos in total inculding the free ones but it was still difficlt to chose them, i dont think there was any photos that i didn't like!would recomend it to anyone and there is no pressure to buy extra photos so if you want just the one picture its very good value
2 Mother and daughter makeoverBoop1970 | 21/10/2011 | See all Boop1970's reviews (1)I bought this as a gift for my daughters 21st, When booked in at reception they had booked us in separately which was not right as its a mother and daughter makeover day, they checked to see if we could do it together and this was changed, we went through to makeup and hair separately which is a bit pointless when we are there to spend the day together, although not long a wait in between us both being in there together, the hair and makeup was very good though when done, the photo shoot is for 45 mins which is not long enough when you have several clothes changes to do and rushed. Your then taken to view your photographs we were waiting around for about an hour, refreshments are available free of charge though, your also asked to provide them with names and numbers of friends who may be interested and teased with the idea of the more you give them, you get gifts and vouchers off your photo's, we never received any gifts and did not use the voucher as its only off the packages they do and they start from 399 for 6 pictures and range up to a staggering 3299 for all photo's with extras. One picture on dvd was 120 very very unreasonably priced how can anyone afford to spend such money on pictures. We were supposed to receive one picture each and was told that because we were toghether it was one between us, we complained as our voucher says one picture each and this was not honoured, We did however end up with a picture each at a small cost .

Secretary Clinton and 'Real Democracy' in the Middle East
"The era of Big Government is over!"
I could not get President Bill Clinton's famous declaration out of my mind this morning as I read the speech Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave in Egypt yesterday.
Very simply, Mrs. Clinton's discussion of the lofty — and probably unattainable — goal of democratizing the Muslim Middle East is the best ever delivered by a senior American government official.
I can't shake her husband's speech, though.
Back in 1996, when he made his succinct, imperative assertion about the need to rein in Leviathan, we knew he didn't mean a word of it. We've had galloping runaway government ever since. I don't mean to suggest that that is Clinton's doing, by the way; Democrats are worse than Republicans on this, but Big Government is very much a bipartisan disease. For present purposes, though, my point is that the Clintons, who are both extraordinarily able, have a penchant for saying exactly what needs to be said … while not meaning a word of it.
At long last, in Secretary Clinton's telling, it has dawned on the State Department that the culture of democracy — the Western liberty culture — is by leaps and bounds more essential than democracy's procedural elements, such as popular elections and constitution-writing. "Democracy," Secretary Clinton proclaimed in Egypt yesterday, "is not just about reflecting the will of the majority. It is also about protecting the rights of the minority." Even better, she added: "Real democracy means that no group or faction or leader can impose their will, their ideology, their religion, their desires on anyone else."
Exactly. I've been a naysayer on the Islamic Democracy Project since the late Nineties, when the Clinton administration tried to turn Yasser Arafat into James Madison, and since circa 2003-04 when the Bush administration twisted the Bush Doctrine from a roadmap to military victory ("with us or against us") to a Bridge to Nowhere (the "forward march of freedom"). All along, this has been precisely the point: there is no real democracy until a society accepts the Western democratic principles that Secretary Clinton so eloquently outlined. Democratic culture is the horse that has to go before the popular-election cart. The third-grade elects a class president; that doesn't make it a democracy.
Here is the problem: Islamic culture is implacably hostile to what Mrs. Clinton correctly says real democracy means. To undo that, if it is even possible, would take decades of rolling the stone up the mountain.

"The constitutions the State Department has been writing for "Islamic democracies" for the last decade install Islam as the state religion and enshrine sharia as a fundamental source of law"
Wait, what? Why is our State Department writing constitutions for other countries. Let them write their own, and be judged by them.

rbj – The oh so 'smart set' is really not that smart after all. For if they were, surely it would not have taken them so long to figure out the obvious – western democracy IS incompatible with Islamic dictates, and even in the wider Arab world when some secular concepts manage to take hold. Unless, on the other hand, Washington was pretending to believe in the impossible, simply to implement various political chess games by default.
This is a subject I am highly schooled in, as such, my efforts involve working without blinders. In this regard, I refer the posters/readers to one (out of several) related commentaries at my blog. It is called 'Islam & Blood…The World Stands On A Precipice'.
PJM readers are quite sophisticated, therefore, I urge them to click on the policy paper contained in the commentary. It is also important to click on all the embedded links. It will round out its efficacy – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/13/islam-blood-a-groundbreaking-policy-paper-contained-herein-the-world-stands-on-a-precipice-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-109/. Please share it wide and far. It is that groundbreaking.
Clinton, as well as her surrogates, would do well to internalize its lessons-if she dares!!

Adina, I am sure that you understand that the liberal, leftist, progressive, socialist-marxist leadership in America shares many of the same goals that Islam promotes. They do not fully understand Islam and all the ramifications that would redound to the American way of life if Islam became dominant here. Our liberal leaders want to lord it over we the 'unwashed masses' to show that their way of government is better than that proposed by our founders. Freedom of speech, assembly, religion, etc all must go. Islam is not familiar with any of these concepts as well, so our useful idiots help Islam whenever thay can. What they do not understand is that when their time of usefulness is ended the Islamic knife will be at their throat and they will have sold out their country for less than the proverbial 30 pieces of silver. A pox on their house

They think they are smarter than their Iranian counterparts who pulled this same stunt back in the 70′s. The result was that the popular uprising against the Shaw turned into the Islamic Revolution and all the leftists ended up dead.

Wirlwinder, Adina, who said this only days after the 9/11 Muslim terror attacks on America, a leftist or a self-professed Christian conservative Republican?
The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam…..
I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world.
We respect your faith. It's practiced freely by many millions of Americans and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah….(APPLAUSE)
The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.

And did anyone see the warm and friendly reception that Hillary got.
What was it, shoes thrown at her, and that has to be really funny, because we were told how funny it was when the shoe was thrown at President Bush. But for those that don't know, throwing a shoe at a person is a huge insult.
And how about those chants of Monica, Monica, tying her to her husband's scandals.

About as interested as she is in the continued existence of Israel. Remember, to a doctrinaire "it takes a village" collectivist/leftist like The Hill, our "problems with the Islamic world" all stem from the continued existence of people who the Islamists disapprove of. Like Coptic Christians, "secular" Muslims, and of course Jews, especially those in Israel.
She is convinced that everything would be wonderful if all those disruptive people would just go away. So she and the rest of the "enlightened ones" can get on with the business of building the Brave New World, with their Islamic Socialist friends.
Yes, they believe that the Islamists are socialists at heart; after all, they believe in a top-down, autocratic regime' based on mystical principles. Just like our "best and brightest" here do.
It's difficult at times to distinguish that brand of megalomania from plain stupidity. Then again, maybe there isn't any difference in the practical sense.

"Here is the problem: Islamic culture is implacably hostile to what Mrs. Clinton correctly says real democracy means. To undo that, if it is even possible, would take decades of rolling the stone up the mountain."
This is exactly true. There will never be any real democracy, at least a lasting one, in the Muslim world. At least not in North Africa and the Middle East. Malaysia and Indonesia may have a shot at it, but even they have their problems with free and honest elections, not to mention rampant corruption. But when it comes to the Muslim world in Africa and the Middle East, you're barking up the wrong tree there. Democracy has never, EVER, been popular there. All those countries have been run by kings, dictators, generals, tribal leaders, or religious fanatics and that will not change. Even in Iraq, where we gave them every chance possible to create a decent democracy, you have a country on the brink of civil war and doomed to failure. And let's not even talk about Afghanistan, where we've been languishing for over 10 years now. You cannot undo cneturies of religious fanaticism, corruption, and barbarity (not to mention Sharia Law) overnight. It took them centuries to get themselves into this mess, and it will take them centuries to get out of it, if ever.
But one point never seems to be mentioned. Perhaps arabs and Muslims in the Middle East just don't WANT democracy? Maybe they don't see anything wrong with having a dictator, or a king, or a general, or a mullah in charge of their countries? Nobody seems to ever ask them that and maybe, just maybe, for them the 12th century is preferable to the 21st century. That seems to be the way it is in Afghanistan and they have no hope of changing. Maybe there just are some countries that want to keep their tribal customs and their ancient mysoginistic laws, no matter what. Hillary Clinton should start asking tribal and religious leaders in these countries what their idea of a perfect world is, and I'll bet you ANYTHING they do NOT want to be like the United States.

The key to what you're saying is what was mentioned in the article regarding the cultural foundations of democratic governance. That culture began in ancient Greece, grew with the Roman Republic, was embraced and spread throughout western Europe during the Enlightenment and ultimately resulted in the democratic traditions of the US and some other European governments.
Islam has none of this history. Anyone who would expect a people raised on Islamic culture to also embrace the western culture of democratic governance is either dangerously arrogant or incompetent to stand in diplomatic circles.

Have a good look again at the "leaders", those people selected by the "voice of the people" drummed and piped by self arrogating media pundits, educators, lawyers, and government agents in the the European West and the USA. Specifically the hierarchy of the socalled – falsely called – Democratic Party within the last half and even full 20th century as to their fidelity to the democratic, or republican ideas and institutions..
Persons at the top e.g. the Kennedys with their clones the Clintons and now their Messiah Obama. and influential core with one goal. One goal only. That goal no secret: power by any mean over "The Lives of Others". Persons without apology for whom literally anything goes. Under the mantle of politics as usual.
Gaining their present power with a serf class devised by them as the Great Society. Votes – numers count in this power game – from groups and persons with no active investment on the body politic except "what's in it for me".
Fed by the cultural and political elite and government agencies from the taxes expropriated with the fist of law from labours and blood of the invested and productive citizens. Taxes expropriated and called public, or government money.
With no recognition, and not being called by the citizens on their lies. Not emphasising that the "Government" of the USA ia "of, by and for the people" ALL the people. And has no money except that of productive people who produce the goods and services for which money is exchange as token of value.Individuals unapologetically without dignity, private and public shame, able to differentiate right and wrong/left, and utterly contemptuous of the people who give them the power over their lives. No surprise that Hillary Clinton, ruthless in pursuit of power at any cost to others, and BH Obama bow and curtsey before dictators of the Middle East, Asia and that collection of dictators and mass murderers the UN. Birds of a feather? Brothers/Sisters?

Great idea. We'll let the Europeans Chinese and Japan worry about how to deal with these ignorant followers of Mohamed. I would love to see a law passed that all oil pumped from offshore and Federal lease lands remain in the USA. The products of that oil could be sold overseas – but not in the form of a liquid – gas diesel etc. That would put many Americans back to work too.

The people don't care. I learned that from my tour in Vietnam. They just want to be left alone and try to survive. No matter who is in charge the people will suffer. When the French controlled the area the people paid taxes to them,when the Viet Mihn fought the French and took control of the area the people paid taxes to them. When the Viet Cong controlled their area they paid taxes to them. When they were "freed" from the VC, they paid taxes to Siagon. They saw no difference one from the other. The same thing is happening in the Middle East. Someone comes in, says vote for us and we will make your life better, the people say, yeah, sure, we'll do that knowing full well nothing will change.

I thought I was missing something because I couldn't find any other criticism of Hillary for even going to meet the Muslim Brotherhood. Thanks, Menachem! She should have sent a boilerplate congratulatory telegram and let Ambassador Anne Patterson go get an idea of what kind of relationship the new Egyptian government expects to have with America. It's ridiculous that Hillary couldn't have anticipated the tomato-pelting and taunts of "Monica!"

Obama can't make an appearance in Israel, but goes to Egypt AND sends his SOS there immediately after an Islamist takes office. It's pretty clear to me who Obama considers his allies, and it sure as hell isn't the only democratic country in the Middle East.

I strongly urge everyone here to read Nonie Darwish's new book The Devil We Don't Know in order to understand how democracy hasn't a snow ball's chance in hell of surviving in a Sharia rich environment. Reproduced in the book is a fatwa permitting the murder of an apostate from Islam who lives in Germany. The issuing authority was Al-Azhar University where Obama gave his I Love Islam speech in 2009.
That said democracy may survive in Iraq as a non-violent means of having a civil war and because the public can't decide on what kind of dictatorship to set up. This may be the secret of getting democracy into the middle east without being noticed. It could be sold to the Arabs as "civil war by other means" or as a stepping stone to a more repressive tyranny.

I am familiar with Darwish, I haven't read her books yet. on my list.
Iraq will not become a democracy …even if they vote occasionally.
the whole thing was handled badly and the current leader (Maliki) has already usurped control. he lost the election but is still there.
no islamic country can be democratic. …if it were then it would not be islamic.

Congressman Allen West is the ONLY politician who seems to recognize Islam for what it really is. Republicans as well as Democrats spout that ignorant "Religion of Peace" crap as if it was true. The longer it takes for the West to wake up to the mortal peril Islam is to our way of life, the more blood will be shed when it finally comes in force to our neighborhoods. And unless we stop it soon, Islam and its inherent violence WILL come to all our neighborhoods.

So, you are so right. I think there are a few more in congress who know the threat of Islam. However, No one wants to take any decisive action. Unfortunately, it takes a disaster before America will take action. 9/11 was that type of disaster but apparently, not large enough. I hope it will not be a dirty bomb in Boston, Chicago or Miami that finally wakes us up. We do need to take Islam seriously and beginning right now.

Hillary Clinton learned her politics at the foot of the master. The master in profiting from the madness of crowds. Who knows people en masse will buy anything no matter how poisonous if sold with pretty packaging, primary colours, unrepentant and ruthless false advertising and "charm" – meaning any smiling lie that works. AND of course active support any lies to sell the gullible public their products. Allies in the major propaganda machinery.
Hillary suffers the disadvantage that she lies with intensity and thrusts her lies at us with aggression. She lacks that essential of smiling charm so successful for her masters in the Kennedys and their clone WJ Clinton.
She's trying but the charm escapes her because not natural or comfortable for her. Her tactic is battering ram.the same tactics without success as they do not come naturally or comfortably to her.That neither Clinton is renowned for telling truths to power or to anyone is no secret. So it should come as no surprise that H. Clinton is not averse to twisting information for whatever good it'll do her. Unfortunately there are many – too many – who accept her as symbol because she's female. And calls herself democratic. But look at the special brand of democracy of these Clintons and look again.

What could possibly go wrong? The MB now has a track record of good governance. There's Sudan … and Gaza … and Afghanistan under Rabbani, Sayyaf, Hekmatyar. The MBros also do the loyal-opposition thing well — as in Algeria in the 1990s. Let's give 'em a break, eh? They've never committed more than the tiniest of little genocides. Heck, their body count in the 1990s never even reached 3 million. Besides, they're not Wahhabis. Those guys are dangerous. As in the 1930s, the key to U.S. policy should be to support the moderate Nazis. As DoS likes to say, "What? Me worry?"

Bringing democracy to an islamic nation is a fool's errand. We are seeing this in Iraq where Bush (another fool IMO) thought it was a great idea. We should never have gone in there – or at least left after toppling Saddam – instead we got into a crossfire between regional factions that never have liked each other (thanks to England et al for this) and have been at relative peace only because of Saddam. Secular rule is a joke in ME countries for many reasons – but for one especially – lack of education. Indonesia is very shaky as a democracy – but they at least have secular education which may be key to their eventual success in democracy. In the ME the education function is done by the clericals – and we all know what the fruits of that effort are.

Qaradawi is on record advocating suicide bombings, attacks on Americans in Iraq and sundry other despicable adventures and misadventures.
"The only thing I hope for is that as my life approaches its end, Allah will give me an opportunity to go to the land of jihad and resistance, even if in a wheelchair. I will shoot Allah's enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus, I will seal my life in martyrdom."
We can only hope the sealing is soon.
"The acceptance of a legislation formulated by humans means a preference of the humans' limited knowledge and experiences to the divine guidance: "Say! Do you know better than Allah?"
It's hard to fathom that a guy who holds a "doctorate in Islamic jurisprudence" from "a storied university" can seriously make an argument for shari'a as coming from Allah, can keep up the pretense that it is something other than what it is, a body of user convenient ideas concocted by men in the 14 centuries since Mohammed.
I don't need Qaradawi to point out to me that democracy and Islam are incompatible
As for Hillary meddling in Egyptian affairs, trying to pressure the military into doing this or that, I'd say America should just step back and quit messing around in the Islamic cesspool.

We need to send community organizers to Cairo. That'll fix it. Thanks to the schmuck-in-chief, we've squandered whatever influence we had in this retrograde region, but hey, thank God for shale oil and fracking.

Islam does not teach the same sort of compassion for the other that virtually every other religion including today's "secular humanism" teaches. Muslims murder and torture each other without compunction and their own ummah, "brotherhood" has no condemnation to offer. That's because they don't value individual human life the way Christian westerners do. It's not a concept in Islam, which means it's not a concept in Muslims "hearts and minds". Their hearts and minds instead understand what Allah teaches them in the Koran, namely, the Collective Will to Power.
When will our leaders understand this? And moreover understand that it is necessary in the end to treat Muslims in the way they themselves understand moral principles? Which ultimately means that they must be beaten back and vanquished and humiliated by a greater strength. That is clearly what they understand. Every move to win their hearts and minds only strengthens them, emboldens them to advance their own peculiar ethics of the world, which couldn't give a damn about "hearts and minds", as we understand the term. They will accept the shehada from anyone they can swindle and connive to recite it while at the same time are willing to kill anyone who leaves Islam. Whatever it takes to build the army of Islamic soldiers is what their ethics is about.
There is no way of avoiding the reality that the adults in this world are going to have to act like adults and step up and slap, and in a big way, Muslims who have made of their own societies the equivalent of "Lord of the Flies" and who now threaten to overrun every more advanced society with their mayhem. We're going to have to come to terms this reality. Either that or it's simply going to be cruel for all of us, with no kindness in sight, and possibly no one left to come and rescue us off an Island from Hell that in our passivity and cowardice we allowed to be taken over by moral pygmies.

In medieval times, people created fairy tales and magical creatures to make sense of their world. One of the most endearing is the unicorn, a horse with a single horn that symbolized purity and wholesomeness. In our modern times, people in Europe and the United States consider themselves more sophisticated and rational than people from the Middle Ages, but we still create myths, albeit more subtle ones.
Daily we hear reports of violent acts committed by Islamic terrorists on every inhabited continent. We try to wish it away with the myth of the 'Moderate Muslim', telling ourselves the Islamic agenda has been' hijacked' by a 'tiny minority of extremists' and that soon the huge, silent, moderate majority of Muslims will take charge and change things. However, post 9/11 very few Muslims have condemned terrorist actions. We are still waiting for moderates to stand and deliver, identifying and removing extremist thugs from their mosques and their communities. Waiting for this self-correction is our modern version of unicorn hunting.
"Moderate" Muslims will not be able to wrest control of the agenda for several reasons. First of all, Mohammed, the Messenger of Allah's eternal word, was not moderate. No "moderate" can legitimately tell another Muslim to stop doing the extremist things Mohammed himself did. Also, the Qur'an condones violence and coercion to further the Islamic agenda. People whom we call moderates are labeled hypocrites by Allah Himself in the Qur'an. Moderates will always lose the argument because, as ex-Muslim author Ibn Warraq says, "There may be moderates in Islam but Islam itself is not moderate."
Islamic expert Daniel Pipes and others estimate ten percent of the Islamic world to be militant. In 1933 when the Nazi party took control of Germany it had 2 million members, comprising only three percent of Germany's sixty-six million citizens. A tiny minority of extremists can control a vast number of "moderates", making them irrelevant.
Placing hope in 'The Moderate Muslim' is like searching for unicorns in the forest.

The necessary consequence of this understanding is to recognize that being or becoming Muslim must be deemed as akin to renouncing US citizenship in favor of membership in a world wide Ummah. A Muslim could not possibly be truthful when taking any Oath of allegiance. (8 CFR 337.1)
The borderlessness of the Ummah should not be grounds for ignoring the need to demand immediate emigration of Muslims and Muslim converts.
Will a Muslim who calls themselves a Muslim! think of it as a title of nobility, as distinguished from non-Muslims, as envisioned by the US Constitution and 8 CFR 337.1?

"All along, this has been precisely the point: there is no real democracy until a society accepts the Western democratic principles that Secretary Clinton so eloquently outlined."
… "culture of democracy? … "western liberty culture."??? Eloquently outlined?
I am not a genius as exemplified by Hillary Clinton and other smart people running the foreign policy show in Washington, but for a great many things it doesn't take a genius. It does, however, take some one who will be honest with the facts and honest with themselves.
What is eloquent about this? It used to be considered common knowledge that the character of the people is what shapes a democracy. Any student from Government 101 should be aware of how this works.
In fact any First Grader who recites the Pledge of allegiance … "With liberty and Justice for all" … should be aware of this concept. To be discussing something which is as elementary as this to a functioning liberal democratic republic is much like a professor of calculus going over the multiplication tables. Eloquent? I think not. Absurd is is a more accurate description."Culture of democracy? Western Liberty Culture? Oh Yeah, I remember reading about our Founding Fathers discussing those things a lot!
Its the Judeo Christian tradition! There is not now nor has there ever been a functioning democracy not based on the Judeo Christian tradition."The culture of democracy", and "The Western Liberty Culture" had to get their values from some where. America's founders were religious men and their values, the ones they embedded in the founding documents, came from the Bible; the Judeo Christian tradition.
We can't say that to Muslims because the Judeo Christian tradition is anathema to them. So what do we do?
First, we can stop writing or helping to write constitutions for them which have a success probability approaching absolute zero. Then we can tell them we will defend OUR interests and those of our friends read:Israel. Then we can tell them they are on their own and that they can expect no help from us. Help for which they have always repaid us with contempt.
Then we let them stew in their own juices.
Only after we elect a president who will put America's interests ahead of "reaching out to Islam" can this even begin to happen.

Egypt, Gaza, and Iran were Moscow projects.
JFK, LBJ and Nixon were destroyed for warring on or splitting the Bloc.Carter, Ted Kennedy, the Clintons, and Obama are/were all Marxists.
Easy to understand.

(1) A close aide of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is Huma Abedin, a Mohammedan whose family are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
(2) There is a democracy in the Middle East – Israel. (But Israel does not meet with the favor of Hillary Clinton, or her boss, Barack Hussein Obama, 20 year member of the church of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in Chicago, bigoted Marxist – "Black Liberation," anti-white, anti-semitic.
(3) The boss of Hillary Clinton, President Barack Hussein Obama, showed how he wanted to "reset" the policies of the United States, by returning the bust of Winton Churchill, given to President George W. Bush after 9/11, back to Great Britain, bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, and giving a major speech in Cairo saying how wonderful Islam is. His Ignoramus said that Muslims had invented the printing press – tell that to Gutenberg, that they had invented the compass – tell that to the Chinese, and that they had founded the first university -tell that to the the Italians who founded the first university at Bologna.
(4) There is a mohammedan country which is more or less a democracy, Turkey. But President Obama embraces the ruler Erdogan, who is undermining it and the reforms of Kemal Ataturk.July 16, 2012 - 7:58 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

"Democracy," Secretary Clinton proclaimed in Egypt yesterday, "is not just about reflecting the will of the majority. It is also about protecting the rights of the minority." Even better, she added: "Real democracy means that no group or faction or leader can impose their will, their ideology, their religion, their desires on anyone else."
Oh really? Has she seen what Obama has been doing to us since he got in office?

Hillary is an opportunistic, pandering, political "working girl", to put it nicely. What she doesn't seem to realize is that the tool in the WH, and the despots she kisses up to overseas, view her as nothing more than a useful idiot. It's a shame that new show on USA is glorifying her in their thinly veiled "fiction".

McCarthy wrote: "I've been a naysayer on the Islamic Democracy Project since the late Nineties, when the Clinton administration tried to turn Yasser Arafat into James Madison, and since circa 2003-04 when the Bush administration twisted the Bush Doctrine from a roadmap to military victory ("with us or against us") to a Bridge to Nowhere (the "forward march of freedom")."
I'm not sure what Mr. McCarthy is talking about with respect to the Bush roadmap. The roadmap was the result of President George W. Bushl's speech on June 24, 2002, "in which he called for an independent Palestinian Muslim state living side by side Israel." It was early October 2001 (only days after the Saudi-backed Muslim-terror attacks in New York and Washington) that Bush unveiled his "vision" for a Muslim-enemy state in Israel' heartland; one dedicated to Israel's destruction. Mr. McCarthy says he's been a consistent naysayer of appeasement. Were he alive in the nineteen thirties, little doubt McCarthy (in league with Winston Churchill) would have condemned the 1938 Munich accords as dishonorable; the Munich accords which former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon alluded to after Bush's incredible betrayal of a friend. I would like to know what Mr. McCarhty wrote. What did he say at that time about this huge betrayal on the part of George W. Bush? I am willing to eat crow and apologize to Mr. McCarthy if he condemned it. Did he?

30. Walid from Egypt
I am Egyptian, Muslim, Liberal and I say it clear what USA is doing in Egypt is a shame as they support the radicals from day one. We were expecting that USA is democracy promoter and minority rights protector but actually now we see a game for empowering radicals over all the community!!!
We as liberals for the first time protested against USA & Hilary with majority of our Christian friends from all ideologies as we see USA now as an official sponsor for radicals!!!
Only radical who welcomed Hilary in this visit!!!!
The same mistake of sponsoring Bin Laden in early 80s and Middle East will be a hell.
I am afraid that Egypt the center of Middle East and initiator of peace process with Israel became a center of radicals due to this unjustified support of radicals!!!July 18, 2012 - 2:10 am Link to this Comment | Reply-
Walid, Mr. Obama is supporting the radicals. I guess you can say Obama represents the United States; sadly. Do you remember when Obama spoke at Al-Azhar University, June 2009, he invited the radicals to attend his speech? President Mubarak did not attend. Obama has been courting radicals here in the U.S. He invites them to the White House. They are dictating policy visa-vis FBI training manuals with respect to Islam, etc. Obama is deeply invested in the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Islamic law, Barack Obama is Muslim since his father is Muslim. Likewise if a man is born of a Jewish mother, he is a Jew.

Steve, Obama is following different strategy with radicals, he is trying to control them but I do believe this is useless!!
Yes, Obama father is Muslim but this doesn't mean he is Muslim or supporting Muslims because I am Muslim and I am against those radicals and they got the religion as a guard to control the non educated people here!!
The game simply Obama is planning to use them to control Egypt but this will cost USA losing all Egyptian liberal Muslims and all Egyptian Christians!!
I am wondering is it logic for USA to support radicals and ignore liberals!!
The Egyptian Parties refused to meet Hilary!!
The Egyptian Church Pope also refused to meet Hilary!!
The perception here now is very strange we see USA as a sponsor for radicals and opposing liberals who defend minority rights and equality!!!, Not only that but the radicals now preparing new constitute that we expect it as a protection for a new radical country!!
We hope that USA promote for real American values that we know like liberty and equality as this is a role of world leader and as a friend country as this is the only way for making peace in Middle East and the world.
N.B.: The majority here is liberals but radical are very strong financially and this is why they got about half of the votes!!July 18, 2012 - 5:37 am Link to this Comment | Reply

A reminder that the Bush Administration had blinders on with regard to Democracy and Islam. The Iraq and Afghanistan constitutions all defer to Sharia and these were put in place during the Bush administration. I attended a meeting where one of the lead State Department lawyers for the Afghan constitution said human rights were included in the constitution and these rights protect people. The rights were in direct dispute with Sharia and the constitution defers to Sharia.

"I loved the design from the start but was quite impressed at the weight of the card stock when the cards arrived (having not paid extra for the heavier stock), additionally, I LOVE the texture, which was a pleasant surprise. Customer service was excellent (real human contact to clarify my instructions -- REFRESHING)! These cards are for a very special niece. I know they will set the tone for what will be a very special party; a gift from me to her. I was delighted with the modifications made to the "recipe" cards ordered in the same design. I wish I had known about the option for the rectangular envelopes (to save postage as well as fit the recipe cards w/o folding)."
"I am really please with this invitation. The quality of the card stock is very high as is the saturation of the ink colors and the overall design is beautiful!"
"Love the invitation. Color and quality is beautiful. First experience ordering. Designer made changes perfectly. Service is beyond compare."

Logistic Costs in Thailand on the Decline
Logistics costs in Thailand are declining, and it has been suggested that Thailand continue to improve the efficiency of transport and logistics management, so that its logistics costs would reduce further.
The suggestion was made by the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) in its report submitted to the Cabinet for acknowledgement.
According to the report, Thailand's logistics costs in 2010 amounted to 1.6 billion baht, accounting for 15.2 percent of GDP. The amount rose slightly over 15.1 percent of the country's GDP recorded in 2009, as a result of economic recovery and export growth.
When compared with some other countries in 2010, NESBD stated that logistics costs in the United States were lower, as they accounted for 8.3 percent of GDP. Logistic costs in China were higher, accounting for 17.8 percent of GDP.
NESDB believed that Thailand's logistics costs in 2011 would drop to 14.5 percent of GDP due to severe floods in the third and fourth quarters of 2011, leading to supply chain disruption in such major industries as automobiles and electronics.
The report stated that the proportion of Thailand's logistics costs to GDP during 2001-2011 declined by 0.3 percent on average. Although the situation reflected greater efficiency in logistics management, it took place mainly among large industries with modern transport. Thailand still relies on road transport, at 80 percent, which is costly because of high energy prices. For this reason, Thai entrepreneurs need to shoulder high production costs in terms of logistics.
In order to cut the costs, NESDB suggested that various transport systems be developed, with an emphasis on cost-effective and environment-friendly forms, while enhancing the potential of the business sector for product distribution to consumers. Supply chain optimization should also be enhanced, especially logistics activities in the agriculture sector and small and medium-sized enterprises.
The establishment of the National Single-Window system should receive a major boost in order to improve related laws and regulations, as a way of enhancing Thailand's competitiveness in preparation for the realization of the ASEAN Community in 2015.
Moreover, NESDB pointed out that the quality of personnel in logistics should be developed on a continual basis, especially those at the operation level, such as truck drivers. Labor skills should also be developed and upgraded to a higher degree of professionalism and internationalization.
Thailand is ideally positioned to serve as the logistics hub for ASEAN, which is striving to promote its community-building efforts for the integration of the region as a whole. In preparation for Thailand's role as a regional logistics hub, the Thai government has been developing the capabilities and capacities of the country's logistics service providers through financial support and training manpower with expertise.

text: Edwards daughter tearfully leaves courtroom during testimonyFrom Joe Johns, CNNUpdated 5:45 AM ET, Thu May 3, 2012Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards leaves the federal courthouse in Greensboro, North Carolina, with his daughter Cate Edwards on April 23. Story highlightsDaughter of former presidential candidate leaves during testimonyIt concerned fight between her father and late motherJohn Edwards faces federal corruption chargesFormer staffer testifies about Edwards' mistressThe trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards took a dramatic turn Wednesday when his daughter abruptly left the courtroom during testimony about a fight between her mother and father over his affair with a campaign videographer.Cate Edwards left during the testimony of Christina Reynolds, former research director for Edwards' 2008 campaign.Reynolds was recounting an October 2007 confrontation between Elizabeth and John Edwards at the Raleigh, North Carolina, airport after the National Enquirer reported the candidate was having an affair with Rielle Hunter. Elizabeth Edwards, a breast cancer patient, tore at her clothing, exposing her chest, the witness said."You don't see me anymore," Reynolds quoted the wife as saying.Just WatchedAide recalls Elizabeth Edwards meltdownreplayMore Videos ...Aide recalls Elizabeth Edwards meltdown 01:35PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedEdwards sex tape cleared for trialreplayMore Videos ...Edwards sex tape cleared for trial 03:47PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedEx-Edwards aide: 'Scared for my life'replayMore Videos ...Ex-Edwards aide: 'Scared for my life' 02:56PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedEdwards' team goes on the offensivereplayMore Videos ...Edwards' team goes on the offensive 00:59PLAY VIDEOAs Reynolds described the incident in the airport hangar, John Edwards covered his face with his hands. He then looked back at his daughter and said, "I don't know what's coming ... do you want to leave?"Cate Edwards said something back, stood and left the courtroom. Some in the courtroom reported seeing her wiping tears in her eyes as she left. She returned to her seat behind her father after a court recess.Elizabeth Edwards died of breast cancer in December 2010.Prosecutors say donations to pay his mistress's expenses were illegal and a chief reason John Edwards is on trial in federal court on six felony counts. Also charged with conspiracy and making false statements, Edwards could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all counts.Edwards is accused of using false and misleading campaign disclosure reports to conceal from the Federal Election Commission more than $900,000 in donations -- $725,000 from Rachel "Bunny" Mellon and $200,000 from the late Texas lawyer Fred Baron.Also Wednesday, a former Edwards staffer testified about his travels with Edwards in 2006, before the latter announced his candidacy.Josh Brumberger said he told Edwards that Hunter seemed a "little nutty" and her video work was "shoddy and unprofessional."Edwards insisted Hunter should receive health insurance, even though she was a consultant, Brumberger said. The former aide also said he told Edwards that the staff was noticing he was treating Hunter differently than he did others, such as carrying her bags.It all came to a head at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in October 2006. A red-faced and cursing Edwards, who was bound for China, pulled him to the side, Brumberger testified.Edwards said that "if I thought he was (blanking) her, why didn't I come to him like a man and ask," said Brumberger. "He said he didn't trust me anymore. He was basically firing me."On cross-examination, Brumberger said all of those incidents occurred before the presidential campaign.Edwards eventually admitted to having carried on an affair with Hunter and fathering her child.More from politicsGen.

Our inability to handle personal criticism from loved ones is a common Achilles' heel. The more deeply we are in love, the harder it is to handle. Soon, couples feel they are walking on eggshells, unable to express themselves honestly, and the love fades. Raising children and dealing with money during an economic recession magnifies the problems even as those problems become the reason couples stay together. The result? Couples often remain legally married but psychologically divorced—in a minimum-security-prison marriage.

Otava Folk High School
Why not study at Otava Folk High School?
Located in the heart of the Lakeland district of eastern Finland, Otava Folk High School has served students from near and afar for over a century. Folk high schools are learning institutions where one can broaden one's horizons, social insights as well as get more confidence in oneself. Learning is a lifelong process. Diversity is one of the areas where we draw many of our strengths:
Education for All
The education for all ideal is linked to our Nordic welfare state values. Everyone has in our society the right and opportunity to study and receive quality education. At Otava Folk High School adults can major in music (band) as well as enrol in a number of other courses. Our visual arts classes are especially popular in the summertime.
Otava Folk High School has developed throughout the years a comprehensive workshop programme. We organise monthly workshops with experts from a number of fields such as pedagogy, futures studies, media, multiculturalism and IT-technology. We form part of the eDelfoi programme. Innovative teaching methods are implemented at our workshops with the help of the Internet.
Phenomenon Based Teaching and Learning
Otava Folk High School is actively involved in phenomena based teaching and learning. This pedagogical tool aims to expand the student's knowledge outside of the classroom with real-life experiences.
Tenth Grade
Comprehensive school in Finland lasts from grades one to nine. Some of our tenth-graders may want to take a year off school by staying at school, raise their confidence, or get a clearer idea where their educational future lies. Others may attend to raise their grade-point average and thereby improve their chances of enrolling at an upper secondary or vocational school of their choice.
Online Comprehensive and Online Upper Secondary School for Adults
No matter how old you are, it is never too late to learn and complete a degree. Finishing your comprehensive or upper secondary school studies can be done at your time and from the comfort of your home. Some of our students live and work in foreign countries as well as on campus.
Comprehensive School Programme for Students with Immigrant Backgrounds
We are the only school in the Region of Mikkeli that offers a comprehensive school programme for students with immigrant backgrounds. Finnish culture and immigrant orientation courses form part of our school programme. We believe that education is an important bridge-builder between cultures.
Otava Folk High School is involved in a number of projects in pedagogy, information and communications technology, and social media with partners in Finland and abroad.

Step 1: Why Backup my game?
Step 2: Materials
2. A computer (I'm using windows XP) with a CD burner
3. Win Rar http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html
4. A CD-R 700 mb 80 min blank disk Yes, you need to use regular CD-R's only I used Maxell brand
5. Padus Disk Duggler http://www.padus.com/downloads/demo.php
6. Nero 5.5 (a must) or Alcohol 120% You could use the trial versions of these if you choose
7. Other software for certain types of files can be used to burn disks but you should find what you need above as these are the most common
Newer and older versions of Nero will not burn dreamcast nrgs properly
Also I HIGHLY recommend a program called Bootdreams. It avoids the subscription issues involved with using Disk Juggler (burn speed limit, and wait screen before each load)
I might make a guide on this

There are some people in the music business that ascend to legendary status over the years, Dave Mustaine is certainly one of them albeit for more controversially than he probably would have liked. Dave Mustaine is obviously a major driving force in the Heavy Metal genre with records spanning almost 3 decades! Unfortunately Dave has not always been the best with words, especially when talking to the press and many people take a disliking to him personally due all the band "sackings". The thing is, I'm one of those people that read stories about Dave and said oh no not again, he's made some dodgy comment and offended someone or sacked his guitarist for no good reason. Even though I've been a fan of Megadeth's music for 20 years I've never once actually made an effort to read about Dave Mustaine before and try and work out why he seems to have so many problems. I was expecting "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir" to be very defensive and one-sided and I was totally wrong I actually felt that this book was brutally honest, open and insightful. I had no idea about how much Dave has suffered from Drug and Alcohol addiction over the years as have many of his band members, in fact this book really explains why the band has been subject to so many problems over the years and why certain members were sacked. Dave also, obviously, talks about the Metallica sacking and issues that followed over the years and how he never really dealt with it properly at the time. Anyone who has seen "Some Kind Of Monster" will have already seen the start of Dave Mustaine dealing with how he was affected by this series of events and it does actually make much more sense when you read about all of the things that have happened over the years.
The book follows Dave's life all the way up to the recording of "Endgame" including how Dave almost lost the use of his left hand back in 2002 due to a crazy injury brought on by falling asleep with his arm over a chair which caused almost catastrophic nerve damage. I think it is pretty amazing to be told you will never play guitar again and not only prove the Doctor's wrong but to then go on recording and touring. At the start of the book I did think that this was going to be just like every rock bio I've read such as Slash, Anthony Kiedis and Motley Crue where it degenerates into a listing of every time they scored heroin on the street and how they would shoot up in the toilet at rehab or whatever but Dave's life has had so many twists and turns it literally had me gripped from the start and I read it faster than any book I've owned in years. All I can say is that if you want to hear Dave's side or if you are even just a little curious about Dave's life this book is a must, you won't want to put it down I guarantee it.

More reviews by AdorkableNargle
I like this eyeshadow very much. It is easy to apply, cheap, and it has nice color payoff. I have it in Purple Dazzle. The glitter does tend to fall off throughout the day, but overall I'm very happy with it, because it managed to last through my sweaty high school homecoming dance. :)
a really glittery black. i bought this on sale at vs with a bunch of other make up. if u dab a little on ur eye its enough to give u a good black color. it is realy glittery if u smooth it out, but does look like a drag queen. the black is pretty black. overall its pretty good. i usually use iton teh outer v and blend it out with a brown shadow.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm really loving these shadows. So inexpensive and you get to play with a few colors without much product commitment. Anyhow, this black is really something special. Dead ringer for the Guerlain loose kohl in Noir. I wish I had known about this product earlier.... Just make sure you use a primer on your waterline and lower lashline. Blink a few times to transfer and then use this shadow. Probably have to do a few coats to really get this on, and the fallout was pretty big, whereas no fallout from Guerlain. Of course you'll need to touch it up a few times during the day or evening, but I'd do that anyway... I actually prefer this in terms of color and shimmer over the Guerlain, this is more shimmery and was what I was hoping the Guerlain would be. You'll still need to tightline the top lash line, even if some transfers. Would definitely repurchase, haven't tried as a shadow yet but as a shadow/liner for a smokey eye this is fantastic. Easy to take along and if you loose it it's less than $10 to replace. Nice to be able to take shadows/liners with you just in case... Not sure how long one of these will last, but since I'm redipping into the same well of e/s I don't mind replacing often. Without a doubt a great purchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got a couple of these expecting great things, the colors seem nice and the packaging is super cute and perfect for makeup bag, doesn't take up much room. Anyhow I tried one on as a liner it went on really nice and lasted a couple of hours...then the itch set in. Come to find that something in these little e/s gives me an allergy. I tried using it once again to see if it was just me... sadly it is. Although my sister loved them and gladly took them off my hands. And I'm happy to report, no allergy on her part.
I love this product! It is perfect to make a smokey-eye, I just draw a thick line with the sponge applicator and then run my finger along it and it is perfectly smudged :)
Yes, some does get on your cheeks, but I do my eye make-up first so I use a wet washcloth to remove the fallout before continuing.
More reviews by AmandaAngel0802
The glitter doesn't last, and it falls very easily to the cheeks. I've tried every brush and sponge for eyes and the eyeshadow still falls under the eyes onto the cheeks. Very messy. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
-Attractive package
-The sparkles and black shadow do go on easily with the unique wand
-When I go to put it on my eyelid it all dusts down under my eyes and on to my cheeks! there was black specs everywhere and when I went to wipe it I got black smears on my face.
...Very disappointed I can't use this at all because of that. Would definitely not reccommend it.

Role of portal vein embolization in liver surgery: single centre experience in sixty-two patients.
Summary of "Role of portal vein embolization in liver surgery: single centre experience in sixty-two patients."
The extent of liver resection is limited by the residual functional reserve of the liver (FLR). The introduction of portal vein embolization (PVE), with the rationale of inducing hypertrophy of the FLR has significantly reduced morbidity and in particular the impact of postoperative liver failure (PLF). The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of PVE in patients candidates to liver resections with high risk of PLF. Between January 2006 and December 2009, 62 patients suffering from primary or metastatic liver tumour, underwent PVE at the Department of Surgery-Liver Unit HSR. CT assessment of hepatic volume was performed in each patient, prior and 4 weeks after the procedure. The outcome was evaluated in terms of feasibility of surgery, FLR growth [calculated as: (FLR after PVE - FLR pre PVE) × 100/FLR pre PVE], morbidity and mortality associated with PVE and surgery. Of the 62 patients undergoing PVE, 6 (9.7%) did not benefit from surgery: of these, 4 showed spread of disease in the FLR at CT control, while in the remaining 2 adequate hypertrophy was not reached. The average volume of the FLR at the time of the procedure and after 4 weeks was 437.03 cc (±172.54) and 615.15 cc (± 187.49), respectively, with an average increase of 50.3% (±30.31). During the postoperative period, only 2 patients (3.2%) showed mild and transient signs of the PLF. The technique of PVE allows to performing, in an effective and safe way, major liver resections in patients with high risk of PLF.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Hypertension, Portal
Abnormal increase of resistance to blood flow within the hepatic PORTAL SYSTEM, frequently seen in LIVER CIRRHOSIS and conditions with obstruction of the PORTAL VEIN.
Portal Vein
A short thick vein formed by union of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein.
Mesenteric Veins
Veins which return blood from the intestines; the inferior mesenteric vein empties into the splenic vein, the superior mesenteric vein joins the splenic vein to form the portal vein.
Portasystemic Shunt, Transjugular Intrahepatic
A type of surgical portasystemic shunt to reduce portal hypertension with associated complications of esophageal varices and ascites. It is performed percutaneously through the jugular vein and involves the creation of an intrahepatic shunt between the hepatic vein and portal vein. The channel is maintained by a metallic stent. The procedure can be performed in patients who have failed sclerotherapy and is an additional option to the surgical techniques of portocaval, mesocaval, and splenorenal shunts. It takes one to three hours to perform. (JAMA 1995;273(23):1824-30)
Echinococcosis, Hepatic
Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).
