I bought this over Christmas because I thought it was a really awesome color. I only just used it this past Wednesday (it is now Sunday) and now if you take all that is left on my nails it may cover 1 nail.
I put it on Wednesday night. The next day it was already starting to chip. Friday morning half a nail came off just from washing my hair. I used a base coat, 2 coats of the polish and 1 top coat. I then swiped on the edges some ChipSkip.
I am not sure whether it is because it is a glitter polish or what but I feel that I purchased a cheap brand rather than Revlon.
I currently am unemployed so I do not do all that much that could cause it to come off.
I've been on the lookout for this polish for months but everywhere around me has not had it in stock! Boots finally had three left, so I picked up all three...
This is a purple hex glitter in a black jelly base, with Revlon's typical thin brush. I personally love the brush - I have really unsteady hands so having a thin brush minimises finger painting and I find it really easy to control and manipulate this product.
The product itself is a streaky purpley colour with the first coat, but with two coats it is completely opaque and the black is strong with the purple hexes really really popping! It dries with a rough texture so I used three coats of Revlon Quick Drying top coat and so they are now smooth and shiney. The consistency itself is great and I find it very easy to apply.
Very happy bunny :D
This is fine & hex fuschia glitter in an eggplant base. It gives the look of a "jelly sandwich" mani in only two coats. The formula is smooth but it chipped in two days. Got it at Wag's on sale for $1.99 after the Register Rewards.
Definitely a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's "Bad Romance." It's a jelly black with different sizes of fuchsia glitter in it. It takes about 3 coats to become opaque, but it could also be used as a top coat for a black polish. It applies smoothly and dries quickly.
Edit: I was only wearing this polish for a couple hours before it started to chip. I didn't use a top coat, but maybe that would help prevent that. Also, some of the glitter began to turn silver for some reason.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Scandalous is one of the glitter polishes Revlon came out with, and it's a love of mine. A translucent black base with medium-sized hex and fine glitter in a magenta-purple color. I generally use this over black Wet n Wild for a black and purple look or Reggae to Riches by China Glaze for a rich purple tone. One layer gives plenty glitter, but two layers is ideal.
Revlon nail polishes are my favorite in durability, hands down. The color selection is great, the application and dry time are awesome and I can abuse my nails with or without Seche Vite on top without chipping. This is amazing to me.

Department of Justice
United States Attorney William C. Killian Eastern District of Tennessee
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Elizabeth Reimers, M.D., 40, of Winchester, Tenn. was sentenced today to 70 months in prison, two years supervised release and a $300 special assessment in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Chattanooga by the Honorable Harry S. Mattice, Jr., United States District Judge. The sentence was the result of a guilty plea, also entered today by Dr. Reimers, to three counts of a federal indictment charging her with knowingly and intentionally dispensing, and causing to be dispensed, quantities of controlled substances to patients outside the scope of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose. Each such instance carried a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
United States Attorney Bill Killian said, "I hope that this prosecution helps sound the alarm that we are experiencing a epidemic of prescription pill abuse in East Tennessee. Anyone, including a licensed doctor, who unlawfully distributes these pills will face substantial penalties. Dr. Reimers chose to ignore the oath all physicians take to "do no harm." Her actions had a devastating effect on several of her patients and the community at large. Our office will continue to target and prosecute those individuals who are responsible for illegally putting these powerful drugs on our streets."
Dr. Reimers, who had a medical practice in Winchester, Tenn., was brought to the attention of law enforcement by a citizen who reported that she was inappropriately prescribing addictive pain medication to drug-seeking patients without medical justification. She was observed prescribing powerful pain-killers and other addictive substances even after patients had overdosed on those medications, or been treated for addiction to them. Emergency room personnel at the Winchester hospital and the medical examiner had expressed concern to Dr. Reimers regarding her prescriptions. Loved ones of Dr. Reimers' addicted patients complained to her and asked her to stop prescribing the medications to which they were addicted, only to have her continue to prescribe the same medications. Pharmacy records disclosed an abnormally high rate and amount of prescriptions issued by Dr. Reimers of very addictive pain medications. An undercover operation was conducted in which an agent posing as a drug-seeking patient was able to obtain addictive medications without any appropriate medical examination or justification. The undercover agent was even able to obtain such prescriptions for his fictional "brother" who Dr. Reimers never saw at all, and in whose existence she voiced disbelief.
The indictment and subsequent conviction of Dr. Reimer was the result of a joint investigation conducted of Dr. Reimer's medical practice in Winchester, Tenn., by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Winchester Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney John MacCoon represented the United States.

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy is enacting a four-part plan to foster inspection of nonresident compounding pharmacies and create an information sharing network of regulatory details on those pharmacies.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. – The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy is enacting a four-part plan to foster inspection of nonresident compounding pharmacies and create an information sharing network of regulatory details on those pharmacies.
NABP said Wednesday that the initiative is intended to support state board of pharmacy efforts to enforce compounding regulation. The association and its member state boards of pharmacy determined that inspecting nonresident compounding pharmacies and exchanging that data with boards of pharmacy nationwide are key to preventing future calamities like the current meningitis outbreak.
Development of the action plan began at a November meeting of board of pharmacy executive directors, according to NABP. The 30 attendees showed a commitment to correcting system failures that allowed the meningitis outbreak to occur and agreed it was necessary to move rapidly to implement solutions, the association said.
Also discussed was a request by the Iowa Board of Pharmacy for NABP to develop an inspection program for entities licensed by the state as nonresident pharmacies and dispensing compounded drugs in Iowa. The executive directors at the meeting expressed support for the Iowa inspection initiative, which became a linchpin of the four-part action plan, NABP said.
In the first part of the action plan, NABP shared a list of nonresident compounding pharmacies provided by the Iowa pharmacy board with other NABP member boards and started coordinating the collection of data on those pharmacies. The boards' collaboration on that information data helped NABP identify the initial pharmacies to inspect.
NABP said it believes that the list provided by Iowa represents a significant number of nonresident pharmacies dispensing compounded drugs nationwide.
Implementing the inspection program is the second part of the plan, and NABP said initial results will show if the selected pharmacies are compounding according to a prescription in compliance with state regulations or are engaging in manufacturing. A key issue in the case of the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts, identified as responsible for the meningitis outbreak, was whether the facility was indeed a compounding pharmacy or was actually a drug manufacturer
Entities that refuse inspection may be subject to disciplinary action by the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, and such actions will be shared with all member boards of pharmacy, NABP said.
The third part of the action plan includes NABP gathering and maintaining data on the compounding pharmacies identified by the Iowa board as well as those cited by other boards of pharmacy. Initial data collected from the boards and the inspection reports will be stored in an NABP Pharmacy e-Profile, allowing the association to disseminate relevant public information among state boards.
Ultimately, states will be able to submit inspection reports and other related data to NABP for inclusion in pharmacies' e-Profiles, according to NABP.
"Creating an information sharing network of verifiable data on compounding pharmacies, including information on the scope of operations, results of the Iowa inspection program, and any disciplinary actions will provide a vital resource to support the boards' regulatory efforts in this area," NABP president Michael Burleson said in a statement. "The network will be made available at no cost to boards for use in making licensure and registration determinations for pharmacies and may also help to identify pharmacies whose operations are more akin to manufacturing than compounding."
For the final part of the plan, NABP plans to schedule immediate and ongoing training of board of pharmacy inspectors and compliance officers via webinars and field training. The association said it will also continue cooperative efforts with Food and Drug Administration and legislators to address the "regulatory quagmire" that exists when traditional compounding is exceeded and manufacturing may be occurring.

Rocky View Publishing reporter ponders taking the parenthood plungeBy: Allison Chorney | Posted: Thursday, Mar 13, 2014 10:33 am I�ve entered that phase of my life where my close friends are either having kids or are trying for kids and I find myself very happy for them but also a little jealous. I want kids but there is a long list of reason why now might not be the best time to start a family. That said, I am also acutely aware that as a woman there is a finite amount of time available to me to have children and I can�t help but wonder is there ever a perfect time for any life-altering decisions? I know my mum would tell me I will always find a reason to wait and so should jump in when my husband and I are ready, but who�s to say when you�re ready? I think I�d make a decent parent; I have a stable job, I�m responsible, I have a home and I pay taxes but I�m also still a little wild. I like having friends over and having a few too many drinks. I like being able to pick up and go away for the weekend. I like the freedom of not having anyone depend on me for survival, though sometimes I wonder how my husband would fare if I just stopped cooking and grocery shopping. Then there is the whole discipline and having patience that I think would cause me to turn into a blithering mess. I honestly have no inclination of how parents manage to maintain sanity when their child is having a full on meltdown in public. I get annoyed with my dog when he doesn�t listen to me at the dog park. I have no comprehension of what I would do if I had a kid freaking out in the middle of the grocery store. I mean I see these things happen and even I, the most under-qualified critic, sometimes look at how parents react to that type of behaviour in their child and I judge. I say to myself, �when I have kids I would never do that,� but how can I say that when I�ve never been there myself. Sometimes in my ineptitude I think to myself, �my dog is well behaved, how different can a child be?� I know this is completely different but at times I see myself leaning towards starting a family because I have this excuse, but really it�s apples and oranges. And if I was really honest with myself, I�d realize I came into my dog�s life when he was already fully grown and trained, I just followed what my husband did with him and called it my own. There is also the intense fear I have when it come to babies. I�m great with kids once they can walk and talk but the new ones are terrifying. First off, and I know you�re not going to like this but I�m going to say it anyway, new babies are odd looking. They are purple-pink and smooshy. They have flakey skin and eyes that dart around never focusing on anything in particular. And please don�t get me started on the soft spot in their head, that is the stuff of nightmares. Then there is the development of their digestive system and the varying and disgusting bowel movements they have as they are introduced to new foods. I�ve never seen it but my family refers to a stage they call The Tar Poo Stage. I don�t know what it is but it doesn�t sound good and fills me with a chest-tightening fear like nothing else. Also the baby devices available such as the booger suction thing are shocking. Why do I need to suction out boogers? How many bodily fluids am I expected to come in contact with? This is insane. So, for now, I think I�ll be sticking to aunt. Kids will happen for us one day but not any time soon. Comments

The State Department dismissed the gesture as spin. America's stance, backed by its Middle East Quartet partners — Russia, the European Union and the United Nations — is that Hamas remains quarantined unless it recognizes Israel, rejects terrorism and accepts previously signed Palestinian-Israeli agreements. Meshaal wouldn't play ball.
But behind his rejectionist words, Meshaal's meaning was evolving. While refusing to recognize Israel, he spoke in a 2006 German interview about "examples where 'no recognition' does not mean war. China and Taiwan, for example, have not recognized each other, but they trade and cooperate with each other." In August 2009 he told The Wall Street Journal that Hamas wouldn't "impede" a Fatah-Israel peace pact. In May 2010 he told Charlie Rose that "if Israel would go to the 1967 borders…that will be the end of the Palestinian resistance." He was practically begging for a seat at the table.
Indeed, Hamas was already backpedaling "resistance." In June 2008, as the Olmert-Abbas talks accelerated, the organization entered a six-month, Egyptian-brokered cease-fire with Israel in return for a promise to ease the blockade. In December, after the cease-fire ended, Israel launched the massive, three-week incursion into Gaza known as Operation Cast Lead, leaving 1,300 Gazans dead; it brought Israel worldwide condemnation, but Hamas got the message. Rocket attacks, which were running 550 per month in early 2008, virtually ended: Just 160 rockets launched through the rest of 2009 and 150 for all of 2010, mostly by splinter groups retaliating for Israeli air raids. Attacks in 2011 totaled 680, most during a week in August when the murders of eight travelers on a Negev highway brought Israeli reprisal raids. Hundreds more rockets were interdicted by Hamas security forces cracking down on splinter groups.
In April 2011, Meshaal and Abbas met in Cairo to try reconciliation. They had previously met in Mecca in 2007 and in Sanaa, Yemen, in 2008, each time signing a pact that was dead on arrival. The problem was always Hamas's refusal to endorse Fatah's pursuit of peace with Israel. Fatah feared losing its legitimacy in Israel and the West. Hamas had no reason to prop it up.
This time, though, the winds had shifted. Fatah had no Israeli peace process to protect. Hamas feared losing its home base in Damascus. Hamas consented to a unity government under Abbas, with no card-carrying Hamas members in it. Abbas could continue to seek peace with Israel; Hamas would accept the outcome. Hamas would swear off violence. It wouldn't recognize Israel but could belong to a government that did. The deal collapsed over Hamas rejection of the pro-Western prime minister Salam Fayyad. Hamas hadn't fallen low enough.
A year later, unity might be ripe. Damascus is in flames, leaving Hamas homeless, dependent on the good will of pro-Western Fatah, Jordan, Turkey and the Egyptian military. Fatah-Israel talks are deader than ever. Hamas has gone nearly four years virtually violence-free; a year or two on the inside might soften it to the point where it won't frighten the next Israeli government. Abbas reckons he can have his cake and eat it, too.

Renewable Energy Is Important for Society, But Makes for Complicated Investing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Renewable energy has been one of the most complicated market segments in which to invest for many years. The reason for this is perhaps counter-intuitive but can be understood.
In general terms, when the price of oil goes up it creates the sentiment that the world needs more renewable energy sources and infrastructure to offset higher oil or natural gas costs and so prices for wind and solar stocks goes up.
When the price of oil goes down, it creates the perception that there is less need for renewable energy and so the price for wind and solar stocks goes down.
The price of crude oil peaked in the summer of 2008 at $147. Despite being up 15% year to date, it is still down almost one third since that 2008 peak. Since the peak in crude, the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN) is down 87% and the First Trust ISE Global Wind Energy Index Fund (FAN) is down 63%.
Against the backdrop of crude oil's rally this year, however, TAN is up 92% and FAN is up 44%. The performance dispersion between the two funds has to do with their respective constituencies. TAN is 80% technology stocks and 20% industrial stocks and all of the holdings are pure solar plays. FAN allocates 57% to utilities and some other companies like General Electric (GE - Get Report) that might be big players in the industry but for whom the industry barely moves the needle. Next Era Energy (NEE - Get Report) is the old Florida Power & Light, but is heavily involved with transmitting wind power to its customers. NEE is a legitimate holding in the fund but does not capture the production of turbines like Danish company Vestas Wind -- FAN's second largest holding -- does. For five years, Vestas is down 80% but is up 289% year to date while NEE is up 41% for five years and 14% in 2013. Renewable energy is evolving to become more important to business. Both Apple (AAPL - Get Report) and Google (GOOG) are investing into the space. Google just announced that it bought 240 megawatts from a wind farm near Amarillo, Texas, to help power its data center in Oklahoma starting in 2014. Apple has bought a third-party renewable energy and built a solar farm, both in North Carolina, to help power its data center in that state.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Pocket God is one of the true success stories on the app store. It was over 2 years ago that it first hit the app store and ever since it's been riding high in the app store charts. It's not surprising even considering the wealth of updates that have been released for it gradually. Even when it first came out, it won our esteemed Editor's Choice award thanks to its casual yet innovative style of god simming and it's gone from strength to strength since then. Since its release, Pocket God has reached 4.5 million downloads with over 1 million in-app purchases made too. There's even a whole range of Pocket God Comics now which has been downloaded over 300,000 times thanks to the seven issues currently available, with another 25 issues planned.
More immediately exciting is that of the release of Pocket God: Journey to Uranus for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It's already been available for the iPad for the past 6 months with a very positive review from Chris Nitz to entice players in. Now iPhone and iPod Touch owners can see what all the fuss is about too.
Journey to Uranus offers an interactive universe that players can explore and use their godly powers upon the inhabitants. It looks set to be a great twist on the regular Pocket God formula. There's also the addition of a new mini-game: Quantum Entanglement. This involves hunting down all the entangled atoms that are currently floating around in space. Essentially it's a memory game in which players have to remember the locations of each atom but it looks set to be addictively fun.
Pocket God: Journey to Uranus is available now for $0.99. iPad owners can download it for the iPhone and iPod Touch for free as it's an universal app now.
Check out the launch video below.

The Gagosian gallery opening, featuring collaborative paintings by Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the after party at Morton's were among a half-dozen events last week that brought together Warhol fans like Dennis Hopper, Anjelica Huston, Ed Ruscha, Andre Balazs, Oliver Stone and Lisa Marie.
"There's Warhol-mania everywhere," noted Stephanie Seymour, in from New York for the events. A double-exposed Polaroid of Basquiat hangs around the corner at the Grant Selwyn Fine Art gallery along with 21 others that Warhol snapped, while more drawings, paintings and photographs can be found at the Ikon gallery and Bobbie Greenfield Gallery in Santa Monica, Kanto in West Hollywood and even at the Palm Springs Desert Museum. Tonight, the UCLA Hammer Museum screens the Edie Sedgwick vehicle "Outer and Inner Space," and the American Cinametheque will show 16 of Warhol's flicks starting July 31.
But the pop star has also taken to the streets. Liz and Mao stare down blankly from billboards and lamp poles. Marilyn smiles from the cover of Angeleno Magazine. And the windows of Arcana on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade are full of Warhol books. Of course, the biggest statement of all is the retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened to the public this weekend. The show, organized by art historian Heiner Bastian, is enormous, filling the 25,000-square-foot museum. (A smaller version began in Berlin at the Neue Nationalgalerie last year, then moved to the Tate Modern in London.) "I'm seeing things I've never seen before. And God knows, I've seen it all," boomed Irving Blum, who gave Warhol his first solo show, at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. For his part, Blum loaned his two "Liz" canvases to MOCA, a first to any museum, he pointed out. Warhol-mania also inspired the city's unprecedented gift of $250,000 to bring the show -- and subsequently, tourists -- to town.
A first wave of visitors sat down to a whopping dinner party on Wednesday night when Patina served 1,100 guests, including Huston and Robert Graham, Charlize Theron, Kelly Lynch, Portia di Rossi and Steve Martin in a tented freeway underpass tricked out like a latter day Factory. Beyond the entrance -- wallpapered in Brillo boxes -- the cocktail lounge was filled with rectangular mylar balloons a la Warhol's "Silver Clouds." Staff members were crowned in silver Warhol wigs. Jeremy Scott's gang of cheeky gals and transvestites dressed in his fall collection capered throughout. And through the backdoor, guests entered MOCA and finally got a view of the exhibition.
Marisa Tomei was transfixed in front of the "Last Supper" canvases, while the Arquettes -- Courteney and David -- took their time through the "Disaster" series, with its imagery of car crashes, suicide and an electric chair.
"Part of Andy's universal appeal is that his work is very much about what Los Angeles, what Hollywood, is about," offered Joel Wachs, president of the Andy Warhol Foundation. "Andy was a New York artist because he lived there. But he was a L.A. artist in the sense of his appreciation of celebrity."
In another room, not far from his 1971 silkscreen and acrylic image, Hopper stood in awe of the turnout. "This whole thing is something Andy would've loved."

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Seniors across area play one more time
ABILENE - For a majority of high school seniors, the end of May typically marks the end of their respective athletic careers.
A select few, though, are fortunate enough to continue their playing days — one last chance to perform at a high level for family, friends and fans alike.
Five area volleyball athletes will be given the chance to do just that. They will play in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes all-star match at noon today inside Abilene's Wylie High School. It marks the first year volleyball has been a part of the FCA all-star weekend.
"This is really my last hurrah, and I'll probably start playing intramural sports in college," said Avery Brown, who played middle blocker and won a state title with Water Valley in 2011. "It will be fun to be able to play the game that I love one last time."
Brown will be joined by Grape Creek's Macayla Burner and Ashley Doss, and Central's Caitlin Buselli and Kiona Millican, who are also looking forward to putting on a uniform one last time. The quintet of high school standouts will play on the South team.
"We're looking to have a lot of fun but, at the same time, we're all very competitive," said Doss, who was the MVP of District 6-2A and registered 413 kills, 62 aces, 333 digs and 167 blocks in her senior season. "We're hoping to show our best when we play."
Doss said today's match will be her final "competitive competition" after playing volleyball, basketball and tennis for the Lady Eagles. The former Grape Creek multisport athlete will enroll at Angelo State University this fall.
"I'm excited to do something other than sports, actually," said Doss, who played middle blocker and may be asked to be an outside hitter. "I've been playing for a long time and I still am right now, in a recreational league. Just nothing competitive."
The mood Wednesday during the team's first official practice at 2 p.m. was lighthearted and carefree. Players, who had just met less than four hours prior, acted as if they were teammates for the past four years.
"I've built a lot of great relationships, and I'm glad I decided to come," said Buselli, who is planning to play soccer and study accounting at ASU. "It helped that I knew someone (Kiona Millican) who I played with at Central, but I'm sure the competition will ramp up when we start to play."
The FCA South squad will be coached by Abilene Cooper's Nora Campbell, who is making her debut in a setting like an all-star game. Campbell said she planned to create a competitive and fun atmosphere for her players.
"I look at it as having fun and enjoy being in a competitive atmosphere one more time," Campbell said. "Some of these kids may go on to college as just students instead of student-athletes. I think they should enjoy having the competition one more time."
Brown, who will enroll at ASU, hopes to have a strong performance today.
"Yes, it always comes out when you start to play volleyball," Brown said. "Those competitive juices come out when you play a sport you love to play. We're ready to go out and play hard. But we'll be really good friends at the end of the week."
That's the end goal.
But Doss said there will be one thought running in the back of the players' minds throughout the all-star match.
"It's one last big shindig you could say," Doss said. "Hopefully we'll go out with a bang."

The Real Face of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Delusions of Its Supporters
And as for women? In his own words: "Blows are not effective with every woman, but they are helpful with some." I wonder if al-Qaradawi agrees with the recent verdict by the upstate New York jury which found the American Muslim man who beheaded his wife guilty, even though he pleaded that he was innocent, arguing that she had violated the dictates of Sharia law. As the Der Spiegel writer notes, the Muslim scholar explained to him that "a woman does not have to ask her husband's permission to blow herself up in an Israeli café." I guess that anti-Western radical feminists will be delighted to hear this.
It also appears, readers learn, that a Danish researcher believes that he was the man responsible for instigating the protests against the cartoonist in Denmark who drew the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. These protests led to the Danish embassy being set on fire in Beirut, as well as threats against the cartoonist, who recently was almost killed in his home.
For those like Prof. Carrie Wickham, who believes, as I wrote earlier, that the Brotherhood was changed by events and now favors "public freedoms, democracy and respect for human rights," the words of al-Qaradawi are rather chastening. As the Der Spiegel article explains, critics such as Christoph Spielberger cite the Muslim tradition of Taqiyya, or "misrepresentation to achieve a higher goal." What this means is that those who trust the words of MB spokesmen to Westerners should think carefully before believing what they are told.
The article quotes pledges of adherence to democracy and a pledge not to demand any ideological line on Egypt by an MB spokesman, Mohammed Mursi. This sounds good, but as Smoltczyk writes, quoting Tariq Ramadan — the self-proclaimed moderate who is beloved by many in the West — its leaders know that "now is not the time to expose itself."
As I argued on these pages, the group's leaders are savvy, and hope that time is on their side That is why the United States should urge that elections be held as late as possible, and that in the interim, our country and others in the West should give the kind of aid the Reagan administration gave to Solidarity in Poland in the 1980s. Democratic activists both religious and secular should be given access to computers, printers, cell phones and whatever they need to spread their word. They should be given funds that enable them to organize their own parties and to establish headquarters throughout Egypt. Such aid can be given through the National Endowment for Democracy, as well as through groups like the Republican and Democratic Party institutes that work to help the creation of democratic groups where they do not at present exist.
Only when alternatives to the Muslim Brotherhood are built up and gain participants will a real level playing field exist. In such conditions, the Muslim Brotherhood, a minority group in Egypt, has a chance of remaining a minority in a new democratic Egypt.

Within fundamentalist Islam, a woman's right to commit suicide is probably considered a somewhat progressive stance.
If the Nazi Party can be banned in many parts of Europe in various forms and those polities survive as democracies, there is no reason the Muslim Brotherhood cannot continue to be banned in Egypt as it builds its hopes towards a form of democracy.
There is no doubt that the MB gives different messages at different times to different people in different languages. I wonder if they even know what the hell their true agenda is.
At present, one could argue that it is the MB itself that is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to the formation of a truly representative government in Egypt since it is the military that is in the driver's seat and I don't think they trust them.

I think that the agenda of the MB, as well as that of Al Qaeda, is and must remain, 'virtual'; that is, purely rhetorical, ideological, divorced from reality. After all, the agenda is, as they both state, a Return to an assumed Pure State of Being as a Society – which Pure State is assumed to be within a fundamentalist and primitive Islamism totally incapable of interacting with the modern world.
And their method of achieving this utopian state is by Force. They will impose their virtual ideology on the people – and it has to be all the people, it has to be universal for even one dissident will pollute The Purity – they will impose their Will by force: of emotional and psychological fear or actual physical violence.
Does a state have the right and the duty to protect its people from such an agenda? I think that freedom of speech is a primary right and as long as these ideologies remain in rhetoric I'd have to say that, since I value that First Amendment, that we have to allow the verbiage.
But, only within a constitutional democracy with an open communication system where the people can listen to other views and make up their own minds. And, the focus has to be on improving the economic infrastructure of the nation so that people will not be drawn to 'magical utopian solutions' to their economic and societal problems.

One of the greatest books I've read is "Seth Speaks" by Jane Roberts. Seth is an entity channeled by Jane Roberts. Before you laugh read the book. Seth's prime lesson is that thought creates reality. Most of us believe otherwise. Now armed with that simple understanding it is quite easy to realize why Islamics behave the way they do. They are not "Divorced" from reality. They are merely creating their reality just like we do, however their reality vastly differs from ours. Just as my reality is created from some interior place inside my consciousness or some lessons learned from grade school theirs is created by their upbringing. The Islamic Brotherhood regardless of what Jimmy Carter thinks hasn't changed one iota. Circumstances may allow them to gain popular support. That should not be allowed to happen. The vast majority of Eyptians already want to dismantle the Camp David accord so you know where the psyche of the common Egyptian resides. America's goal of true Democracy lies in some far off horizon for the Middle East because America must reach into each and every Middle Easterner's mind and instill our principles. We are only fooling ourselves when we believe they are like us. Outside of a good job a roof over our heads and foot on the table they are different. Education is the most important aspect of getting modern Egyptians to alter their beliefs. Right now America must guide Egypt away from Islamic fundamentalism. That must be America's prime directive but with the liberal loonies in gov't and the Jimmy Carter's well…. good luck. After 50 years of foisting money on these people and getting nowhere (OK we kept the peace for a while) we need to realize that it is thought that rules reality not the other way around. We must alter these people's thoughts into those like ours. Education is the key. It's going to take a long time.

I don't mean to be disrespectful towards this book, really I don't – but the idea that ones thoughts create ones future reality is something one knows at 6 years of age; some dream the mundane and imagine going out and getting a job and get one – some dream of climbing live volcanos and do that.
One also learns that there is a limit to this as one cannot fly by flapping your arms. Dream hard and well and yes dreams will come true but the dream of the Muslim Brotherhood is madness plain and simple. Its cultural bigotry is the only reality within its grasp and it's greatest enemy.
The Muslim Brotherhood is in fact divorced from reality. A worst case scenario with the MB is absolute control of Egypt would see that country's destruction and utter humiliation as it is presently constituted.
Any military adventurism against Israel is simply impossible with American tanks and jets the U.S. will not re-supply or give spare parts to. Re-tooling the entire army would bankrupt Egypt given the presumed cold shoulder from the International Monetary Fund, the drying up of foreign investment and disappearance of tourism which would throw thousands out of work with billions more in revenue lost. Egypt has no oil to finance fundamentalism like Iran and China or Russia is not going to fill the financial void and start another Cold War.
Trying to use the Suez Canal to extort the West might result in the internationalization of the Canal by a consortium of China, Europe, America and Russia; more revenues lost. Even a re-tooled army going up against Israel would risk the loss of the Sinai once again, this time maybe permanently.
To the south, the new anti-muslim country in Southern Sudan could have a dam built with Western funds whose sole purpose would be to divert the flow of the Nile which even now is only just sufficient to meet Egypt's needs. Once again, that dam could be protected by foreign troops and Egypt blackmailed at will.
If the MB took over Egypt and wanted to play as tough as their rhetoric suggests, they would only succeed in having Egyptians pine for the good old days under Mubarak. And throw in Egypt's greatest current problem which is it's growing population and you have a recipe for disaster.
Sharia doesn't work in a modern world it chooses to conflict with since it is divorced from reality by many centuries of human social evolution and simply cannot compete. In the case of Malaysia for example, which has a fairly strict version of Sharia but does not agitate against it's neighbors, Sharia is workable as long as the people in charge keep a weather eye on economic reality.
The Muslim Brotherhood and less ardent Egyptian muslims don't need to have their thinking altered by us – reality will intrude its naked hand and an Islamist Egypt will wreck itself on its shores.

THE cartoonist?
I give Mr. Radosh much credit for understanding the history of the US vs communism. But if he doesn't even know that Jyllands-Posten solicited and published cartoons from twelve different cartoonists, I withdraw much of my confidence from his reporting on the US vs Muslim question.

Anyway Der Spiegel is always Der Spiegel: so you have to learn that al-Qaradawi and Pope Benedict XVI are more or less the same thing (even if the latter is, admittedly, a bit more 'enlightened'). The reason? Easy:
"Qaradawi and the pope were born within the same six months from each other, both in rural areas, one in Lower Egypt and the other in Upper Bavaria. Both feel that the Western world is godforsaken. Both have written enough to fill an entire theological library. And both are determined not to be what they are perceived to be: stern teachers. Qaradawi says that he merely wants to offer "alleviation" in a world of confusion. Benedict XVI says more or less the same thing."
I love especially the parallel between Lower Egypt and Upper Bavaria: you have to reflect that Der Spiegel is actually German!

The Brotherhood once linked to a post I wrote. They must have liked the title: "I Found A Moderate Muslim". Of course the post was about Muslim immoderation. I immediately e-mailed Michael Totten for advice. He said they were just using me for propaganda purposes.

You might be right, but by using Stephens (former editor, Jerusalem Post and Zionist hack) and Muravchik (neocon hack) as authorities, you've lost me. Neither has any credibility when it comes to issues of Islam and Middle Eastern politics. The axes they are grinding are just too big.

The most worrying fact is that the Egyptian Army is bringing in the MB to help write the new Egyptian constitution, hoping to use them just like they and Nasser did when they kicked out the monarchy in 1952. How can anyone not think that the MB learned the lesson about letting the Army use them.
Then there is the other part of the equation: You got the Useful Idiots playing up the angle that the MB has said they won't run a Presidential candidate. Whoopee! That would count for something as long as the power were still held in the office of president as it is under the old constitution which the Army has now abrogated and are now in the process of throwing out. What alot of Americans don't understand is that, just because a country has a president it does not mean that office is like the office of the US President. In the US the President is both the Head of State and the Head of Government. In other countries the President could be a figurehead in the role of Head of State while all the power is in the hands of the Prime Minister, the Head of Government. An example of this is the Italian government where the President is someone just about no one in the US has heard of, but we all have heard about the Prime Minister Berlusconi. What does that all mean? Well, if the MB gets the power transfered from the office of the President to the Prime Minister under the constitution they are writing, it won't amount to a hill of beans that they don't have a candidate running for President.
As long as they are the majority party, or at least the majority parity in a ruling coalition, in their version of Parliament they pick who the Prime Minister is and that person wields the power after that.
Oh and to counter the whole the MB only has 25% to 30% support, those people need to go back and look at how much of the total vote Hitler and the Nazi's got when he became Chancellor (Prime Minister under a different name)in 1932: 33%. That's right the Nazi's never had a majority of any election and look how that turned out. So letting the MB anywhere near the constitutional process is stupid in the extreme, it would have been like the Continental Congress asking King of England to help write the US Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.

I don't have much of an opinion on Bret Stephens (haven't read enough of him), but your friend's dismissal of anything he has to say on account of his being "partisan" is very much par for the course.
As an educator who has lived among conservatives but worked among liberals, I always used to try to be non-partisan. I've had lots of discussions with a lot of people. The general trend, I realized some years ago, was that I could get conservatives to discuss ideas, but liberals would only discuss perspectives. Even if I didn't agree with the conservatives, they still tried to discuss larger ideas. Liberals only wanted to talk about "who said it", and if it wasn't from an acceptable source, it wasn't valid.
I still find this to be the case. Every time I have a discussion with a liberal, their radar is up. If any point can ever be attributed to a "conservative source" (generally anything even loosely connected to Rupert Murdoch), they completely shut down. Conversation over. Past that point, it is impossible to get them to actually discuss larger ideas. That ain't thinkin'.
The constant and repeated experience goes a long way to explaining why I'm now off the fence as an actual conservative. Oops, I guess that makes me "partisan". Now you can ignore me.

Bret Stephens is currently a journalist at the WSJ and got his schooling at Chicago University and the London School of Economics (very "liberal") so maybe the guy just has a point of view worth considering outside the partisan political mud trap.

Ah, but see here… You have said the magic words. "WSJ" equals Rupert Murdoch, which means that your point is invalid.
I endure this game all the time. It's too much work to debate ideas, so Lefties just dismiss sources.
One of my few conservative teacher friends had a big one awhile back with a 9/11 truther (why do we still try? We are masochists). He made the tactical error of citing Popular Mechanics, which apparently is off the approved ownership list.
And the best way to get off the approved ownership list? Disagree with the Left!
And no, I'm not saying all truthers are leftists, but it is where they nest. Every single one I've met is a lefty. Truth relativism will do that to you.

Good article. We must all wake up to the insidious nature of the Islamists and Muslim Brotherhood, as they are authorized by this religion to lie. We have a DVD about a lady who lived in Egypt and finally was able to escape and emigrate to the US, and is speaking out regarding the political aspect of Islam, which she says is the major part. We have spread this DVD far and wide and hope in our small way to alert our friends and neighbors to what we may be facing in the future.

Janig , what do you think is being taught at the muslim mosques all over our country now. You get the English version pamphlet which is different than their arabic pamphlet. So every time you fill up your car with gas or diesel we are actually helping the terrori9st fight and kill our troops. All because we are not allowed to use our own natural resources. WHY!!

Cal spa 1993 burnt wires
Forums > Troubleshooting Your Hot TubCal spa 1993 burnt wires
I am trying to figure out what happened to out hottub. we drained and refilled it and it was hard to prime but finally did. I was working fine for about 5 min and next thing I know the hot tub is not working. The breaker was tripped and and nothing. I checked the breaker and reset and smelled a buring smell. The breaker tripped and I looked and the main wiring coming into the spapack was burned in the waterproof box coming into the spa pack. I opened th front of the pack and where the main wires come in are fine but they jump from a block to another block where there is contacts and they were blackened. I thought maybe the heater gave out but there is continuity from one pole to the next. I was thinking of re wiring to see if it might power on. What do any of you guys think could have caused this. This has been the 1st major problem since we bought this tub in 2007. Any help would be great!!! Would I need to replace spa pack and if so which one do I get? I hate to put to much money into it.

Re: Cal spa 1993 burnt wires
Input wiring will melt when there is a loose or resistive connection between the wires and/or the terminal block. This can also happen if the wire supplying power to the tub is undersized for the current it is carrying.You are lucky the tub did not catch fire. If it had caught fire the plastics in the tub produce thick, black and very toxic smoke. The fire burns very hot and is very difficult to extinguish.It should be obvious at this point that the electrical connection to your tub is at least a fire hazard and possibly an electrocution hazard.Do not re-wire the tub until any heat damaged components have been replaced.Hire a licensed, bonded electrician who will inspect the entire branch circuit and give you an estimate on what it will take to ensure the entire circuit is up to code.It's no coincidence the National Electric Code is produced by NFPA (the National Fire Protection Association).

Re: Cal spa 1993 burnt wires
Thank you for the reply! I think I know what made the sires do that. I was looking and the wires going into the weather proof box that goes into the spack looks like the culprit. It looks like over time where the wire nuts were inside have moved a little and the alittle bit of a wire was exposed from moving and it looked like it arced on the box and zap! We had just cleaned for the 1st time in awhile and I think we jarred just alittle by the spa pack and the exposed hot lead just touched some metal on the lid and it arced from what i can see. I have rewired and so far so good I will keep a eye on it but one thing is for sure I will use electrical tape over the wire nuts also to prevent it from doing it again!. I will have a buddy that is a contractor take a look again for me.

Rolland, Fakler lead Nuggets to repeat as GCAC champ
April 12, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — Led again by juniors Devinn Rolland and Catherine Fakler, Xavier University of Louisiana repeated as women's team champion at the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Tad Gormley Stadium on Saturday.
Rolland won three individual events — the long jump and the 100- and 200-meter dashes — for the third consecutive year. Fakler won the 1,500, 3,000 steeplechase and 5,000 and anchored the Gold Nuggets to victory in the 3,200 relay by nearly 46 seconds.
Fakler won the 1,500 for the third consecutive year, repeated as steeplechase and 5,000 champion and finished second in the 800. She won the 5,000 by nearly 90 seconds.
The Gold Nuggets, No. 14 in the NAIA National Team Computer Rankings, scored 213 points and won the conference team championship for the third time in four years. Dillard was second with 168 points, followed by Edward Waters with 143, SUNO with 26 and Voorhees with 19.
In the men's division, Xavier's Kwame Jackson won the 5,000 for the third consecutive year, and Brent Kitto won the 1,500. The Gold Rush were fifth of six teams with 34 points; Dillard outscored Edward Waters 178-153 for the title.
Xavier got meet records from Fakler in the steeplechase (12:01.53) and 5,000 (19:50.14) and Rolland in the 100 (11.66). Rolland's 100 time was a personal best.
The Gold Nuggets scored 30 more points than they did in their 2013 title run. They scored in 16-of-19 events, and 18 individuals scored. Xavier took the top four places in the 1,500 and 5,000.
Also winning for Xavier were Angelica Alexander, a repeat champion in the high jump, and freshman Terri Cunningham in the 400 hurdles. Cunningham scored in four events and was the Nuggets' No. 3 scorer with 21½ points. Fakler scored 40½ points, and Rolland scored 32.
Joining Fakler on the champion 3,200 relay were Briana Simms, Ashley Flournoy and Zahri Jackson.
Also finishing second for the Nuggets were Hannah Finnegan in the 5,000, Simms in the steeplechase, Tramaine Shannon in the 400, Flournoy in the 1,500 and the 400 relay team of Kaylee Moore, Rolland, Shannon and Chelsea James.
The women's team championship is the 19th on the conference level in coach Joseph Moses' nine seasons at Xavier. Moses led the Rush and Nuggets to eight GCAC cross country titles apiece from 2006-13.
Xavier's next event will be the Southeastern Invitational at Hammond, La., on Friday.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

I am interested in Glamour in Glass. The buzz about both this and the first Mary Robinette Kowal book have been very positive, so I think it would be a good 'un. (Also, on Scalzi's Whatever blog, Mary posted her "Big Idea", and says this one can be read alone.)
Congrats on your release day, Suzanne! And thanks, as always, for giving us these giveaway chances...

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and soon millions of Americans will be flooding America's highways, airports, and train stations to get to Grandmother's house. But do you know the most popular means of transportation for Thanksgiving travel? According to a AAA estimate, 81 percent of Americans will travel to their Thanksgiving destination via car this year. Surprised by this number? Although car travel has decreased slightly compared to last year, the falling price of gas means people have largely not shifted to using buses or trains. The weakening economy will force more people to stay home this Thanksgiving, but those that can travel will still do so by car.
Preparing for Thanksgiving Travel
When traveling to your Thanksgiving destination, give yourself plenty of time for the trip. Experts recommend that people leave as early as possible on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, to beat the evening traffic. If you're not able to leave early on Wednesday, then consider leaving after rush hour has ended. "Instead of hitting the roads right after work, go home, have dinner and relax for a little bit. This will help you refresh and refuel before you head out on your big trip," says Sam Belden, Insurance.com VP. "Giving yourself some time to unwind before you head out on the road will help alleviate any potential road rage or aggression brought on by holiday traveling and stress."
Planning for your Thanksgiving Trip
With the state of the economy and the upcoming holiday shopping season, Thanksgiving travel can take a toll on your pocketbook. To help you budget, AAA offers a Fuel Cost Calculator that allows you to estimate the fuel cost of your trip. Simply enter your starting destination, ending destination, and your vehicle make, year and model. Based on that information, AAA will provide you with estimates for traveling mileage, gas usage, and fuel costs. AAA breaks this information down into two categories: one-way trip and two-way trip. If you are traveling with another individual or a group, you can split up the cost of gas accordingly.
Round trip Travel vs. Extended Thanksgiving Stays
According to America on the Go, a publication of the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), about half of holiday travelers make same-day trips without spending the night for Thanksgiving. Only about 35 percent of travelers stay overnight during the Thanksgiving weekend, with most stays averaging one to three nights. During the Christmas/New Year's holidays, that average increases to almost four nights.
Thanksgiving Travel Safety
With so many Americans traveling round trip on Thanksgiving Day, travel safety is a great concern for many. So to help keep you and your loved ones safe, Insurance.com offers these Thanksgiving Day travel tips.
Thanksgiving Travel Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Traffic Safety Facts 2006 (its most recent), November is one of the months with the highest car crash severity. According to the NHTSA, November had 554,000 total crashes, 3160 resulting in fatality and 150,000 resulting in injury. In addition, the Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the most deadly periods of the year, with an average of 570 deaths - something to think about as you head to your Thanksgiving destination. While it is important to practice good driving habits and follow the speed limit, you can't always control the behavior of the drivers around you. However, you should still take extra precautions while driving this Thanksgiving.

Contrary to the normal interpretation of the word "expire," the current Form I-9 (OMB-0047) with a revision date of 8/7/09Y and an expiration date of 8/31/12 will not expire on August 31. On August 13, 2012, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted a notice on its website for employer guidance as to Form I-9 compliance that the current Form I-9 should continue to be used until USCIS provides updated information about the new version of the Form I-9 as it becomes available. I-9 Central currently states that the Forms I-9 with the following revision dates are still valid:
On March 27, 2012, USCIS published a proposed revision of the Form I-9 in the Federal Register (77 Fed. Reg. 18256), which would turn the form into a two-page form and increase the number of pages of instruction from two to six. It is important for employers to subscribe to updates from USCIS regarding I-9 Central and to review the What's New section regularly. Below are sample postings by USCIS on I-9 Central as to how to correct an error related to the use of an invalid version of Form I-9 as well as the challenges related to I-9 completion by staffing agencies: Q. What should an employer do if an invalid version of Form I-9 was completed for an employee at the time of hire? A. If the wrong version of the Form I-9 was completed when the employee was hired, an employer should try to rectify the error. The best way would be for the employer and employee to complete the current version of Form I-9 and staple the previously completed Form I-9 to the current version. Include an explanation of what happened, and sign and date the explanation. If both cannot sign the current version of Form I-9, the employer could try to rectify the error by: 1. Stapling the outdated, but complete I-9, to the current version and
2. Drafting an explanation of the situation and
As to the dilemma of staffing agencies and the responsibility for I-9 verification, I-9 Central provides: Q. Who is responsible for verifying a new employee: the staffing agency or the business to which the worker is assigned? If the business hires the worker permanently, does the business verify the worker at that time? What date should the staffing agency enter in the Hire Date field in Section 2? A. The entity responsible for verifying a new worker is the entity that is responsible for completing Form I-9 for that worker. The Form I-9 requirement is triggered when a person or entity hires an individual for employment in the United States. A "hire" takes place when employment begins in exchange for wages or other remuneration. Therefore, if the new worker is an employee of the staffing agency such that it is on the staffing agency's payroll receiving paychecks from the staffing agency, the staffing agency is responsible for completing and retaining Form I-9. If the new worker is an employee of the business such that it is on the business's payroll receiving paychecks from the business, the business is responsible for completing and retaining Form I-9. If the worker is an employee of the staffing agency, and the business to which the staffing agency has supplied the worker decides to hire that worker and pay the worker directly, the employee would be a new hire of that business, and the business would become responsible for completing a new Form I-9 for that worker from the date of hire. In the case of a staffing agency, acceptance of an offer and entry into the assignment pool can be considered equivalent to an offer and acceptance of employment, after which Form I-9 may be completed. The agency does not need to delay the verification until the worker actually has accepted a particular assignment. The date the staffing agency should put in Section "Certification" of Form I-9 is the date of acceptance of an offer and entry into the assignment pool.

After Sami Khedira yesterday, Real Madrid have been able to welcome back to full training Karim Benzema today.
The French striker missed the team's last two games after tweaking his hamstring during training 10 days ago.
However, after returning to light ball work on Tuesday, Benzema rejoined the main group for today's session, leaving him in contention to feature at the weekend in the home game with Athletic Bilbao.
Yesterday the club welcomed back German midfielder Khedira to full training after his own three-week injury lay-off.

Tha Good Game Colloquium: Know Thy Bitches!
Speaking of knowing my bitches, me and Kiffany were out in downtown Long Beach last night at Gladstones drinking at tha bar, when she noticed tha waitress flirting with me to much. When tha waitress brought her a drink, Kiffany tasted before she left, told tha bitch it wasn't right and gave it back. Kiffany did that shit 4 times in a row until we got all our drinks free, I was laughing like a muthafukka, I know Kiffany doesn't like bitches flirting with me in front of her.

I once dated this guy that came from a good home who grew up with both parents and all of his relatives are professionals. They were basically the Huxtables, but he turned out to be schizophrenic. No joke. And he didn't even tell me he had mental problems. I had to find that shit out on my own when I saw him speaking with "persons" that weren't really there and doing all other kinds of crazy shit. I WILL be doing a background check from now on. Please believe.

You have some valid points here. There's a lot we don't know about someone before we lay down with them-or even do more. In your own way, you do make sense. I just don't like the "bitch" thing all of the time, but you already know that.
