Afghan Arabs
Afghan Arabs (also known as Arab-Afghans) were Arab and other Muslim Islamist mujahideen who came to Afghanistan during and following the Soviet-Afghan War to help fellow Muslims fight Soviets and pro-Soviet Afghans.[1] Observers and journalists covering the war have cast doubt on their significance as a fighting force, but within the Muslim Arab world they achieved near hero-status for their association with the defeat of the militant atheist, anti-religious Communist superpower that was the Soviet Union.
Many returned to their home countries to wage jihad against their governments. Their name notwithstanding, none were Afghans and some were not Arabs, but Turkic, Malay or from some other Muslim non-Arab ethnicity. The most famous among their ranks was Osama bin Laden.

Apart from the entering Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Arabs entered the area today known as Afghanistan in earlier centuries in two distinct waves. During the Islamic conquest of Afghanistan, many Arabs settled throughout the region, while another wave arrived during the Bolshevik Revolution. "Afghan Arabs" who entered Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War began arriving in the early 1980s.
One supporter of the Afghan Arabs, General Hameed Gul, the former head of the Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence, explained the recruitment of Muslims to fight in Afghanistan this way: `We are fighting a jihad and this is the first Islamic international brigade in the modern era. The Communists have their international brigades, the West has NATO, why can't the Muslims unite and form a common front?` [2]
Abdullah Yusuf Azzam[edit]
Abdullah Yusuf Azzam (1941–1989) is often credited with creating enthusiasm for the Afghan mujahideen cause in the Arab Muslim and greater Muslim world. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Azzam issued a fatwa, Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation after Faith [3] declaring defense jihad in Afghanistan fard ayn (a personal obligation[4]) for all Muslims. "Whoever can, from among the Arabs, fight jihad in Palestine, then he must start there. And, if he is not capable, then he must set out for Afghanistan." While Jihad in Palestine was more important, for practical reasons, "it is our opinion that we should begin [Jihad] with Afghanistan before Palestine." [5] The edict was supported by other Sheikhs including Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti (highest religious scholar), Abd al-Aziz Bin Bazz.
Sometime after 1980, Adullah Azzam established Maktab al-Khadamat (Services Office) to organize guest houses in Peshawar just across the Afghan border in Pakistan and paramilitary training camps in Afghanistan to prepare international recruits for the Afghan war front. Using financing of Saudi Arabia and a wealthy young Saudi recruit, Osama bin Laden, Maktab al-Khadamat paid for "air tickets and accommodation, dealt with paperwork with Pakistani authorities and provided other such services for the jihad fighters" from the Muslim world. During the 1980s, Azam had forged close links with two of the Afghan mujahideen faction-leaders, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the Pakistan favorite, and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, an Islamic scholar from Afghanistan whom the Saudis had "sent to Peshwar to promote Wahabbism."
Adullah Azzam toured not only the Muslim world but the United States, in search of funds and young Muslim recruits. He inspired young Muslims with stories of miraculous deeds, mujahideen who defeated vast columns of Soviet troops virtually single-handed, who had been run over by tanks but survived, who were shot, but unscathed by bullets. Angels were said ride into battle on horseback, and falling bombs were intercepted by birds, which raced ahead of the jets to form a protective canopy over the warriors.[6] Critics complain these stories proliferated because Sheikh Abdullah paid mujahideen to bring "him wonderful tales."[7]
It is estimated that approximately 20,000[8] to 35,000 Muslim volunteers[9] came from around the world came to fight in Afghanistan.[10][9]
Later volunteers[edit]
By 1986 the Soviets were talking about withdrawing from Afghanistan.[11] As it became clear the Mujahideen's fight against the Soviets had been a success, it became more popular with Muslims worldwide, and drew more of them to volunteer in Afghanistan. Consequently most of the "Afghan" Arabs arrived to fight the Soviets when they were least needed. The late arrivals were reportedly twice the number who came for the war against the Soviet occupation.
Many of the later volunteers were different than the early "Afghan" Arab volunteers inspired by Sheikh Azzam's tours, and have been criticized for being less serious,
Some Saudi tourists came to earn their jihad credentials. Their tour was organized so that they could step inside Afghanistan, get photographed discharging a gun, and promptly return home as a hero of Afghanistan.[12]
or more sectarian and undisciplined in their violence. Violence escalated in Peshwar Pakistan, the mujahideen staging area and center of Afghan Arab activity.[13]
Sheikh Azzam's removal[edit]
Sometime after August 1988, Sheikh Azzam was replaced as the leader of the Arab Afghans in Peshwar by Osama bin Laden.
Sheikh Azzam himself was assassinated there in November 1989 by roadside bomb that some think was the work of the radical jihadi Egyptian Islamic Jihad and his opponent Ayman al-Zawahiri.
(see: Abdullah Yusuf Azzam#Assassination)
These later expatriate volunteers included many sectarian Salafi and Wahhabi who alienated their hosts with their aloof manner and disdain for the Sufi Islam practiced by most Afghans. While the first Arab Afghans were "for the most part" welcomed by native Afghan mujahideen, by the end of the Soviet-Afghan war, there was a great deal of mutual antagonism between the two groups. The Afghan mujahideen resented "being told they were not good Muslims" and called the expatriate volunteers "Ikhwanis" or "Wahhabis".[12]
This hostility may have played an important role in the relatively easy manner in which the U.S. overthrew the Taliban in 2001 when Afghans turned against these foreigners.[12]
After the war with the Soviets[edit]
However minimal the impact of the "Afghan" Arabs on the war against the Soviets, the return of the volunteers to their home countries was not a "sideshow." In Foreign Affairs Peter Bergen writes:
The foreign volunteers in Afghanistan saw the Soviet defeat as a victory for Islam against a superpower that had invaded a Muslim country. Estimates of the number of foreign fighters who fought in Afghanistan begin in the low thousands; some spent years in combat, while others came only for what amounted to a jihad vacation. The jihadists gained legitimacy and prestige from their triumph both within the militant community and among ordinary Muslims, as well as the confidence to carry their jihad to other countries where they believed Muslims required assistance. When veterans of the guerrilla campaign returned home with their experience, ideology, and weapons, they destabilized once-tranquil countries and inflamed already unstable ones.[14]
After the war, many foreign mujahideen stayed in Afghanistan and took Afghan wives. The Afghan Arabs served as the essential core of the foot soldiers of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda, bin Laden being seen, according to journalist Lawrence Wright, as "the undisputed leader of the Arab Afghans" by fall of 1989.[15]
Others returned "with their experience, ideology, and weapons," to their home (or other Muslim) countries, often proceeding to fight jihad against the government there.[16] Many of them went to Bosnia to fight against Bosnian Serbs and Croats. The most extreme case of ex-mujahideen involvement was Algeria where jihadis fought the government in a bloody civil war that cost 150,000-200,000 lives.
Taliban era[edit]
In the mid- and late-1990s, the Afghan Arabs, in the form of the Wahhabi-oriented Al-Qaeda, became more influential in Afghanistan helping and influencing the Taliban. Several hundred Arab-Afghans participated in the 1997 and 1998 Taliban offensives in the north and helped the Taliban carry out the massacres of the Shia Hazaras there. Several hundred more Arab-Afghans, based in the Rishkor army garrison outside Kabul, fought on the Kabul front against General Ahmed Shah Massoud. At the same time the Taliban's ideology changed. Until the "Taliban's contact with the Arab-Afghans and their [the Taliban's] pan-Islamic ideology was non-existent." [17]
By 1996 and 1998, al Qaeda felt comfortable enough in the sanctuary given them to issue a declaration of war against Americans and later a fatwa to kill Americans and their allies. "The Arab-Afghans had come full circle. From being mere appendages of the Afghan jihad and the Cold War in the 1980s they had taken centre stage for the Afghans, neighbouring countries and the west in the 1990s." [18] This was followed by al Qaeda 1998 American embassy bombings in African and the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, America invaded Afghanistan, deposing the Taliban, ending the heyday of the Afghan Arabs.
During the American campaign in Afghanistan in late 2001, many coherent units of Arab fighters were destroyed by JDAMs. Some Arab fighters have been held by Afghan tribesman for ransom paid by Americans.[19]
Helpfulness to the Afghan mujahideen[edit]
Perhaps the major contribution of the more serious Afghan Arab volunteers was humanitarian aid —- the setting up of hospitals around Peshawar and Quetta and providing funds for supply caravans to travel to the interior of the country. The effectiveness of the Afghan Arabs in Afghanistan as a fighting force has been scoffed at, called a "curious sideshow to the real fighting,"[20] Estimates are there were about 2000 Arab Afghans fighting "at any one time", compared with about a 250,000 Afghan fighters and 125,000 Soviet troops.[21]
Marc Sageman, a Foreign Service Officer who was based in Islamabad from 1987-1989, and worked closely with Afghanistan's Mujahideen, says
Contemporaneous accounts of the war do not even mention [the Afghan Arabs]. Many were not serious about the war. ... Very few were involved in actual fighting. For most of the war, they were scattered among the Afghan groups associated with the four Afghan fundamentalist parties.[12]
One instance where the foreign volunteers did participate in the fighting is reported to have backfired disastrously, hurting the Afghan resistance by prolonging the war against the Afghan Marxist government following the Soviet withdrawal.
The March 1989 battle for Jalalabad, was to be beginning of the collapse of the Afghan Communist government forces, with those forces began negotiation of surrender to the native Afghan mujahideen. Unfortunately, radical non-Afghan salafists became involved, executing some 60 surrendering Communists, cutting their corpses into small pieces, and sending the remains back to the besieged city in a truck with the message that this would be the fate awaiting the infidels.[22] Despite apologies and assurances of safety from Afghan resistance leaders, the Communists ended their negotiations of surrender, spurred them on to break the siege of Jalalabad and to win the first major government victory in years. "This success reversed the government's demoralization from the withdrawal of Soviet forces, renewed its determination to fight on, and allowed it to survive three more years." [23]
According to one source, some "35,000 Muslim radicals from 43 Islamic countries in the Middle East, North and East Africa, Central Asia and the Far East," fought for the Afghan Mujahideen. Tens of thousand more foreign Muslim radicals came to study in the hundreds of new madrassas in Pakistan and along the Afghan border, that the Pakistan government funded. Eventually "more than 100,000 Muslim radicals were to have direct contact with Pakistan and Afghanistan and be influenced by the jihad." [24]
The Mujahideen of Afghanistan were divided into several factions and the Afghan Arabs helped some factions much more than others. Factions led by Abdul Rasul Sayyaf and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar are described as having had good relations with Afghan Arabs. The faction led by Ahmad Shah Massoud, did not.[25]
Interest in martyrdom[edit]
Afghan Arabs have been described as strongly motivated by hopes for martyrdom. Rahimullah Yusufzai, the Peshawar bureau chief for the Pakistani daily News, remarked on his amazement that one camp of Arab Afghans pitched white tents on the front lines, where they were easy marks for Soviet bombers, then attacking the camp. When he asked the Arabs "Why?" they replied: `We want them to bomb us! We Want to die!` Bin Laden himself has said: `I wish I could raid and be slain, and then raid and be slain, and then raid and be slain,` [26]
Attitude to the West[edit]
The United States spent several billion dollars aiding the mujahideen[27] who "had been considerably romanticized in the American press and had made tours through American churches, where they were lauded for their spiritual courage in the common fight against Marxism and godlessness".[28] Some of the Afghan Arabs jihadis who flocked to Afghanistan, however, saw themselves as opponents of the West every bit as much as of Communism.
French writer Olivier Roy, who spent some years in Afghanistan, and served with the United Nations Office for Coordinating Relief in Afghanistan (UNOCA), has written that the jihadis "did not become anti-Western after 1991 -- they had always been so."
All westerners, like me, who encountered the so-called `Arabs` inside Afghanistan during the war of resistance were struck (sometimes physically) by their hostility. The Arabs constantly asked the Afghan mujahideen commanders to get rid of the `infidels` and to choose only good Muslims as supporters, and called for the expulsion of Western NGOs ... in many areas the mujahideen had to intervene to prevent physical assaults on westerners. [29]
Author Gilles Kepel writes that in Peshwar Pakistan, some Afghan Arabs attacked "Europe and American humanitarian agencies ... trying to help the Afghan refugees." [30]
In contrast according to former British Defence Secretary Michael Portillo, late Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto told him said Osama bin Laden was initially pro-American.[31] According to Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, on the one occasion he met and talked to Osama bin Laden, bin Laden thanked him for his "efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the atheists, he said the communists."[32]
Connection with the CIA[edit]
The Afghan Arabs are sometimes reputed to be a creation of the American government and the Central Intelligence Agency in particular.
Robin Cook, former leader of the British House of Commons and Foreign Secretary from 1997-2001, wrote in The Guardian on Friday, July 8, 2005,
Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.[33]
However the notion that the CIA had any contact with non-Afghan mujahideen and specifically bin Laden is disputed by a number of sources. According to Peter Bergen of CNN the story
that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden—is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently.
The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.[34]
Bergen quotes Pakistani Brigadier Mohammad Yousaf, who ran ISI's Afghan operation between 1983 and 1987:
It was always galling to the Americans, and I can understand their point of view, that although they paid the piper they could not call the tune. The CIA supported the mujahideen by spending the taxpayers' money, billions of dollars of it over the years, on buying arms, ammunition, and equipment. It was their secret arms procurement branch that was kept busy. It was, however, a cardinal rule of Pakistan's policy that no Americans ever become involved with the distribution of funds or arms once they arrived in the country. No Americans ever trained or had direct contact with the mujahideen, and no American official ever went inside Afghanistan.[35]
According to Peter Beinart,
Vincent Cannistraro, who led the Reagan administration's Afghan Working Group from 1985 to 1987, puts it, "The CIA was very reluctant to be involved at all. They thought it would end up with them being blamed, like in Guatemala." So the Agency tried to avoid direct involvement in the war, ... the skittish CIA, Cannistraro estimates, had less than ten operatives acting as America's eyes and ears in the region. Milton Bearden, the Agency's chief field operative in the war effort, has insisted that "[T]he CIA had nothing to do with" bin Laden. Cannistraro says that when he coordinated Afghan policy from Washington, he never once heard bin Laden's name.[36]
According to Olivier Roy, "the CIA was not in charge (accusing Bin Laden of having been a CIA agent is nonsense) of the program" to enlist Muslim volunteers to fight Soviets in Afghanistan, "but it did not oppose the scheme or worry about it negative consequences."
The US attitude had more to do with benign neglect than Machiavellian strategy. Eagerness to claim absolute victory in Afghanistan, bureaucratic inertia, lack of concern and expertise, overconfidence in the Saudi and Pakistani security services ... all explain why nobody in Washington cared.[37]

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY—Due to new construction efforts at Madisonville's North Main St. McDonald's location, patrons of the fast-food server may encounter a slightly longer wait for service over the next few days.
Though employees of the McDonald's location were unable to give any information directly to iSurf News in regards to the new construction—such as how long it will be before the construction is completed—iSurf staff members have learned that the business may be installing a "double" drive-thru. Additionally, the location may be removing certain landscaping areas to provide more parking spaces as well.
While the construction has been ongoing for at least 2 days now, there is no official word on when the project will be finished.
As of this time, the drive-thru is still in operation, yet traffic leaving the location may run into a slight delay as there is only one lane available for drive-thru customers and through traffic alike.
iSurf News will bring you the latest information on the situation when, and if, more information becomes available.

A flea is a small (no bigger than the head of a pin) brown bug with a hard shell. Fleas have tiny claws at the ends of their legs to help them attach to people or other warm-blooded animals and drink their blood.
If you have a dog or cat, chances are pretty good that you've seen a flea. Fleas are often found on the coats of these animals. Once the animal comes inside, the fleas can then jump onto people or carpeting.
If a person gets bitten by a flea, the bite will feel itchy. Flea bites usually occur in groups of three or four bites on the body, and they look like tiny red bumps. A lot of kids end up with flea bites when they play with their dogs or cats.
If you think you've been bitten by a flea, wash the bite with soap and water. Put on some calamine lotion to help with the itching, or an adult can find an anti-itch cream at the drugstore for you. Try not to scratch the bites too much, because this can make the bites become infected.
If you get an infection from scratching flea bites, a doctor will need to prescribe medication to clear up the infection.
The best way to avoid getting bitten by fleas is to keep the fleas off your pets. Cats and dogs can be bathed in special flea-control shampoo. Your pet can wear a flea collar or take medication once a month, which will also help keep fleas away.
In addition, a professional exterminator can treat your home or yard with flea-control chemicals to keep the flea population down. Wearing an insect repellent also may help. Ask your parents to apply one that contains 10%-30% DEET.

Gov. Martin O'Malley's same-sex marriage bill is set for a vote in a key Senate panel Tuesday, the next step after a drama-filled week in which the measure passed the House of Delegates by a narrow margin.
Political observers are not expecting such suspense in the Senate. A similar bill passed last year, 25- 21, with one member not voting.

Key Resolve, Foal Eagle Denounced by British Organizations
|Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The British Association for the Study of the Songun Policy, the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and the British Branch of the Korean Friendship Association released a joint statement on Jan. 24 denouncing the projected U.S.-south Korea war drills.
The statement termed the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills explicit war moves against the DPRK.
Such moves to stifle socialist Korea are bound to meet shameful ruin before the Korean people who are closely united around supreme leader Kim Jong Un and the Workers' Party of Korea, it stressed.
It called on all the followers of the Juche idea and the Songun idea and friends of the Korean people to strongly denounce the U.S. imperialists for their moves of aggression and defend the DPRK in every way.
It demanded the U.S. imperialists immediately pull its forces out of south Korea.

Bloomberg's Anti-Gun Group Memorializes Boston Bomber as Victim of Gun Violence
I wish this was a parody, or some other pathetic attempt at comedy but alas, it is neither.
Via the Union Leader:
The event had people supporting the Mayors Against Illegal Guns movement, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, reading the names of those "killed with guns" since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary outside their "No More Names" bus.
The presence of the national gun control group in front of the state Capitol Tuesday night prompted numerous shouts from gun rights supporters. While there were about 40 No More Names supporters, there were at least 60 gun rights supporters at the rally.
Rally organizers, whose bus had Texas license plates, refused to speak to a New Hampshire Union Leader reporter and referred him to the organization's national headquarters.
Some of the loudest shouts came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a gunfight.
"He's a terrorist," several protesters shouted.

Loathe traitors! They love the fact that drug-pushing Mexican troglodytes have guns, but throw a hissy fit that white America can still defend itself from troglodytes.
Then, they have the nerve to rewrite history of how the one punk died, and side with bombers who have murdered around a dozen innocents, portraying them as "heroes"!
They should all be rounded up and tried for treason.

The police are there to protect US from people like that jackass son of a bitch terrorist. How the hell does a terrorist who is out to end U.S. democracy get called a victim of gun violence because the police, OUR police, shot him in self-defense and in justice for the Boston community and for us all? I do not call these assholes my government. They are a bunch of pigs and scoundrel thugs that are out to get what they can for them and their pussy little friends!

The police are NOT there to protect us! See the Supreme Court ruling that, in effect, says that police men and women do NOT have an obligation to protect a citizen where they may encounter life threatening or great bodily harm circumstances. An American exercising their 2nd Amendment Right is the ONLY protection you need or can expect! I agree with your overall message, but you have GOT to be better informed!

You know, Chicago has had 36+ shootings and 7 people killed in the last 36 hours! How's that gun control working? Not worth a damn! ANYONE who would give up a little freedom for temporary safety is a TRAITOR! America was built upon the bastions of PERSONAL conduct! You can personally worship who you want. You can personally make money in any legal way (capitalism). You can personally be safe in your home and your belongings. You can personally Be assured of your right to defend your home, family and property. You can personally Seek redress with the elected government. (Try THAT stuff today!). You can personally Live life as you see fit as long as you aren't interfering with how OTHERS live THEIR lives. Separation of Church and State ONLY meant that there would be no "official" government sanctioned religion FORCED upon the people.
America, WAKE UP before you lose it all. When I say lose it all, I mean your right to be homosexual. MOST countries do not support this way of life! They will jail or KILL you for it! If muslims want to live here, then abandon the notion that you have to kill or maim non-muslims.
Otherwise, face the all out FURY that is the American Christian who has been FORCED and Sanctioned by our Lord, Jesus Christ, to defend ourselves!

idea is great but the map has nothing with persian carpet.
persian carpets mostly use nature and animal shapes
or some math shapes.
Sorry,I didn't notice it's a rug not a carpet .

Scotland v Italy - Live
Full time And that's that! A triumphant day for the Scots, the nightmare of last week banished. for Italy, a lot to ponder before their next clash! Cheers from Edinburgh!
79 Scotland win a penalty and get it down in Italian territory. Scott kicks ahead for Maitland to run on to - those two have worked so well together today, Scott a real candidate for man of the match. Italy win a penalty now, last seconds of the game.
77 Italy running the ball from everywhere now, and Scotland responding in kind as tired legs open up the spaces. Very ragged from both teams though.
75 Burton lands the extras to give the scoreboard a vague semblance of respectability at 34-10.
74 And here, finaly, is that try. Parisse off the back, inside to Zanni, who darts through that channel and scores. TRY ITALY! ZANNI, 34-8.
72 Italy have won another 5m scrum, again Scotland are repelling it, but there's a sense of inevitablity as the resets mount...
70 Laidlaw adds the formalities from under the posts. SCOTLAND 34-3 ITALY. Anybody put any bets on Scotland by 30? Must have been someone...
69 Talking of which.... Lamont toe-poked the ball clear at a ruck, and while the Italians beg for a penalty, Lamont scampers clear, picks it up and heads all the way home! TRY SCOTLAND, LAMONT, 32-3!
68 Jackson now charging into midfield, but this time he gets pinged for not releasing. Italy clear, but after their ten minutes of domination were punctured by that intercept try, they've been subdued.
65 Here come Scotland again, Maitland on that curving line, an offload to Scott, and in the corner! But no... the offload was forward. That could have been curtains.
63 Long long raking kick into the Italian half and Venditti clears, but not so well - Italy's kicking game has been very poor today. time is well and truly running out, even for a team playing well. Penalty Scotland in midfield and the ball goes to touch in Italy's 22
62 Lo Cicero's 100th cap comes to a premature end, not that he'll remember it all that fondly. Long ball from Burton in an attempt to go wide, a good idea, but a little too flat. Hogg clears.
60 Italy looking a little more fluid now, with Canale and Burton making a nice switch and Burton getting into the 22... and winning a penalty.
56 Now Scotland bully out a penalty at their own scrum, with Italy's front row affronted and getting very uppity. But there's no way back for them it seems.
55 Parisse goes for the pick, but he's fumbled it at the base! All of which kind of sums up Italy's afternoon.
53 Penalty Italy in the Scottish 22 and we've got a stiff work coming from Peyper to the Scots captain. Italy opt for another scrum 7m from the line. This one goes down... only a reset though.
52 Italy with half decent scrum position here, searching for some form of lifeline.... you'd have to think it was too late for penalties to make a difference now.
49 Another immaculate kick from Laidlaw! SCOTLAND 27-3 ITALY!
48 He's there! TRY SCOTLAND! And barring a miracle, that should be that.
47 Italy have to score soon or they are cooked. Again Scotland's line speed is good, but Masi's grubber is not quite there for Venditti. Here's a break though, Masi, off to Orquera for the- intercepted by Hogg, and he's streaking away, has he got the legs? 50...40...30....
43 Laidlaw knocks over the extras! 20-3 SCOTLAND!
42 Jackson on a good line, Maitland off his wing and that's a superb line from the Kiwi! Scott in support and he's away and could go all the way.... he's home! TRY SCOTLAND, SCOTT, 18-3! Italy are looking down and out here.
Second half Off we go, Italy need to change it up a bit here. Laidlaw puts up a box-kick from the restart, Italy get it, but out it goes and Scotland's line speed is so impressive today. But one stat we also have, Scotland have made 68 tackles so far to Italy's 37... is that going to tell later on?
Half time And that's it for the half, Scotland a little further ahead on the scoreboard than they perhaps are in gameplay, but they've created the more clearcut chances. Of the Itlay who ran France ragged last week there's been not a trace. See if they can come back in the second half, in about ten minutes' time!
39 Orquera kicks it! PENALTY, ITALY, ORQUERA, 13-3!
37 Italy's first penalty within kicking distance now... but Orquera goes for the 22 instead.It's an ineffective maul, but Italy are probing around the Scots 22. Scott concedes a penalty, this one really is kickable.
35 Apologies for the blip, a little internet down time here. Fortunately for you, after that brief spurt of fire the game's settled again. We've had a couple of reset scrums, some close fringe play, a couple of desultory kicks... not much happening.
30 Italy - indeed, the game - has now come to life. Zanni and Minto take the ball into Scotland's 22, but now a penalty and also a little dust-up between Castrogiovanni and Beattie! It's all happening now.
28 Laidlaw pings the extras over, and who'd have thought this! SCOTLAND 13-0 ITALY!
27 But it's only a brief repreive! Scotland move the ball one side to the other and Visser is sent away! Over he goes, TRY SCOTLAND, VISSER, 11-0!
26 Lurches from bad to worse for Italy, as Botes mis-kicks and Hogg is onto it and clear.... he's just caught short!
25 From the penalty Peyper awarded, not Poite, Laidlaw strikes another three to make it 6-0! PENALTY SCOTLAND, LAIDLAW, 6-0!
24 Scotland with an attacking line-out now. An atttempt at a drive from it, but it disintegrates. Jackson cross-kicks, Maitland can't get it, but back we come for a penalty at the maul. I must apologise by the way, all day long I've been talking about Romain Poite, I do, of course, mean Jaco Peyper.
22 Long exchange of kicks here, punctuated by Jackson's clearance. Teams beginning to cancel each other a bit now after that bright start.
21 Ooohhh, you mustn't do that Sean Lamont! He rushes up, breaking the D-line, and Parisse takes the short pass to go through the kink, but Parisse leaves the ball bahind him in his haste.
19 Italy working round the fringes but Scotland's defence is standing up well today, not giving much, if any, ground. A break in the play as Romain Poite spies a head injury to Tobias Botes.
17 Laidlaw continues the good work with the boot by thumping a clearance deep into Italian territory, Masi clears, but the ground win was by the Scots in that exchange.
15 Laidlaw opens the scoring! PENALTY SCOTLAND, LAIDLAW, 3-0!
14 Here's a break by Gray, and Hamilton has it now and Scotland have the visitors stretched! Out the ball goes wide to Maitland, but he can't get round the corner. Back inside it comes and there's a penalty, a right one, but that was a long advantage, a VERY long advantage.
13 Italy steal a line-out now. Grinding it up a little more now, but not really making much progress. Orquera kicks, but it's a bad one, Hogg kicks back and the retreating Orquera now fumbles it.
11 Italy win the scrum, Scotland win the game's first turnover. Cleared, hoofed back... we're still in Scotland's half.
10 It's a scrum just outside Scotland's 22 at the moment, Romain poite having a word with the two front rows who can't seem to get co-ordinated right now. Spent nearly two minutes on this scrum so far.
7 Off the post! Lamont gathers it up, but the clearance ain't great and Italy are going through the phases again.
6 Ball to the back of the line-out and a maul forms.... Scotland penalised for going in at the side and now we have the firs shot at goal from Orquera.
5 Italy get the first penalty, earned after Cnaale tried and almost succeeded to sneak up the blind. Open rugby from both sides so far - the brilliance of last weekend continues!
4 First scrum here, free-kick Italy and it's the first time they've had the ball, Parisse and Zanni carry on, into Scots territory. Both sides playing with some good flow and retention... mocker gods are here too, Parisse's just dropped it about ten metres backwards!
3 Scots going well through the phases early on, Jackson also with a half-break, out it goes and Laidlaw dinks through a grubber.... race to the corner.... the ball beats them all!
1 Romain Poite gets us underway! Scotland in an unfamiliar blue and white 'flag on shirt' ensemble, while Italy all in Azure blue. Initial action kept infield and Scots launch a nice looking attack with Hogg, but the final chip kick is marked by Botes.
Anthems Superb rendition of Flower of Scotland balances out Italy's triumphant anthem, and now we are stripping off on a chilly and damp day here in Edinburgh.... band trooping off and we're seconds away from kick off...
Atmosphere There's a sense of concern around Murrayfield as fans turn to each other with chewed nails and reminisce both on the times this game might have been a saviour to the Scots and on Italy's display beating France last week. The Azzurri are having a great time, but the home fans are edgy!
Team news There is just one injury-enforced change to the Italy side. Inside centre Alberto Sgarbi has been ruled out with an ankle injury, meaning La Rochelle centre Gonzalo Canale starts having recovered from a thigh niggle.
Team news Robert Harley and Ross Ford have both come into the Scotland starting XV. Harley replaces the injured Alasdair Strokosch in the back-row. Ford returns at hooker in place of Dougie Hall, who sustained a knee injury in the Calcutta Cup loss to England.
welcome Hello and welcome to Murrayfield for our coverage of the first match of this weekend's Six Nations action. Scotland have a tough task on their hands as they face an Azzurri side bubbling with confidence after last week's win over France. Kick off is at 14.30 GMT.

WOWZERS...........2012 is here already. Things are far from perfect here on planet earth but I cant help but think how lucky we are to have another year here. Another year to love more, share more and care more. Lets make 2012 a year to reach dreams, goals and eternal happiness ♥
There's a quiet calm floating around the Abbey today. Last nights events were really something else!
The Grantham's New Years Eve Ball started off with a banquet for their most nearest and dearest. A bit like a wedding really. Although the Grantham's know stacks of people (who were all invited to the ball) only a handful were requested to dine.
'Steady on Lord Grantham said Lady Matoaka, 'the night is still young!'
The courtyard below was somewhat of a quieter affair. Ladies gathered outside powdering rooms to compare outfits and hairstyles.
'One has to go to so much effort to present themselves at an event such as this' said Dutchess Roena.
'Yes I agree' said Countess Slyvenia. 'My tailor has been sewing sequins on to this dress for literally months!'
Eloise and Anna the head maids brought tray after tray of hors d'oeuvre's.
The most sumptuous sweets were served and a never ending supply of bottled beers got handed out.
Eloise lingered slightly longer than usual though whilst supplying the band with drinks. The groovy looking guitar guy was rather taken with her and telephone numbers were exchanged ♥♥♥
The band had many admirers. They were a rather 'contemporary' choice for the evenings entertainment but the dance floor was packed! Groovy tunes and funky beats made sure everyone got 'down':)))
Talking of dancing, the celebrations carried on well into the early hours. With out pointing the finger at anyone in particular, nearly all the group activities were suggested by Lady Flora. The Conga was no exception! With Playmo's snaking from floor to floor and the sound of riotous laughter to be heard from far far away, this really had to be the best party ever!
Lord and lady Grantham made a deal earlier on in the day to make sure that when midnight came, they wouldn't be without each other.
The yearly ritual to be together when the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve has never been broken since they got married.
Whilst everyone else stood on the bustling balcony with a glass raised to new beginnings and fresh starts, the two of them stood alone under the Christmas tree.
This was a moment for just the two of them.
'Happy New Year darling' said Lord Grantham.
'I cant wait to spend another 365 days with the most beautiful woman in the world!'
Happy New year friends!!!
Love and light to you all

SAN ANTONIO -- The Triple-A baseball affiliate of the major league franchise San Diego Padres, the El Paso Chihuahuas, once more have gotten national attention with a new jersey design

The jerseys will feature the face of a Chihuahua dog in the front and they will be auctioned at the conclusion of the game with all money collected being donated to the Humane Society of El Paso, a non-profit animal shelter.
It will be the second Bark at the Park event the team is hosting at Southwest University Park, where dog owners are encouraged to take their pets with them to the game and have a chance to walk on the field before the game.
The team also wore a special jersey for its home games July 2-3. The jersey featured the red-and-white stripes in the front and back, and the white stars with blue background on the sleeves.
Traditional uniform are white, black and red.

Making your payments using your credit card is often the correct choice as you are in a position to dispute any fake expenditures and perhaps even have the charges corrected. This approach is not possible if you use money order or check payment, especially if money was already withdrawn out of your account. Make sure you go over an internet based business's return, refund, and shipping & handling rules. This will allow you to come to a decision whether you still want to complete a purchase with these businesses or not. When placing a bid for something in an auction website, it would not do damage to look into concerning the dealer, particularly if they are noted for doing infractions with this kind of deals. When you receive an email proclaiming that a person from a different country has picked your e-mail out of the blue as the person receiving his / her money. This is a scam as why would someone randomly grant their wealth to someone they do not know. When dealing with an new merchant or web shop, verify with the Better Business Bureau or perhaps your city or local consumer protection agency to know who you are dealing with.
Usually there are some products which include multiple rebates on them. However, numerous buyers don't bother themselves on acquiring rebates simply because they are aware that every single rebate needs to have an original UPC tag to be sent back along with it. Always be suspicious of e-mail messages which tell you about a lot of cash being debited from your account for the payment of items or services and you need to sign into your account using the website link provided to check whether the charge shall be made or not. It's recommended that one must know and also understand a shop's return guarantee prior to purchasing anything, because nobody can actually ascertain that every item satisfies each and every shopper. You will find lots of make money quickly advertisements on the net. Do not fall for these scams as earning money online needs a great deal of work.
Should you would like to order any of the items offered within this internet site, you should know that simply clicking on the merchandise will take you to ebay for you to securely purchase it. E-commerce is an internet industry that makes it possible for consumers to buy from the conveniences of their living space, a thing which could not be achievable if not for the birth of the World Wide Web. Consumer legislations changes from place to place. If you are buying from a website based on a different state, you have to add this into mind together with your usual online buying security precautions. Be cautious of online job offers that demand virtually no qualifications but just your banking account details to be used in performing money transfer. This is a scammer's strategy for getting your personal financial specifics.

In 2012, the total global Ethernet test equipment market earned revenue has increased. Key competitive factors driving the adoption and growth of GbE include ease of use and scalability. User experience is also becoming increasingly valuable for end users, from the initial setup and connecting it to the device under test (DUT), to scripting, interfaces, and support.
Data center activities, mobile backhaul application, SyncE adoption, and demand for high bandwidth services remain the key drivers of GbE test equipment growth in the forecast period. Pricing and competitive pressures, economic uncertainty, and the need for greater R&D investment restrict the market growth. The top participants in this market include Spirent Communications, Ixia, JDSU, and EXFO. Greater importance is expected to be given

CORPORATES and individuals plunged themselves deeper into dept in September, borrowing N$1,2 billion in total, and driving up annual growth in private sector credit extension (PSCE) to its highest level in six years.
The bulk of the credit, N$673 million, went to individuals. Of this, N$589 million was for mortgage loans.
PSCE growth increased to 15,5% annually from 14,2% in August and 13,3% in July, Simonis Storm Securities (SSS) analyst Rudolf Kuschke said.
Overdrafts to individuals showed "strong growth" in September, increasing 21,3% year-on-year. Mortgages to individuals grew by 12,7% on an annual basis, the highest since August 2008, Kuschke said.
On the corporate side, overdrafts increased by N$57 million during September, driving annual growth from 10,3% in August to 15,5%. "This is the third month of year-on-year growth after ten consecutive months of annual decreases in the category," Kuschke said.
Mortgage growth also increased to 21% on an annual basis with N$224 million in total granted to business during the month.
"According to BoN [Bank of Namibia], companies in the transport sector were the main drivers behind overdraft growth, while construction companies were the biggest contributor to mortgage growth," Kuschke said.
The trend of rising credit extensions is expected to continue on a broader level with the festive season approaching and interest rates low, he said.
"Although, we anticipate total credit extensions to continue gathering pace, we foresee overdrafts for corporates and households to lead. Amongst the two classes of consumers, overdrafts to individuals could start becoming more pronounced," Kuschke said.

Fly Inverness to Amsterdam with Flybe?
Now here's some really interesting news from the BBC – the possibility that Flybe are about to add a route from Inverness airport to Amsterdam:
Direct flights between Inverness and Amsterdam could be up and running by next summer, according to airline Flybe.
It said it was close to concluding a deal with possible partners in the Netherlands for the venture.
Flybe said it hoped to make an official announcement as soon as November.
This could be especially good for summer holidays next year, especially considering that Amsterdam is both a potentially interesting place to visit in itself, plus it being a potential gateway into the heart of Europe as well.
While there are other flights to Europe from Inverness, so far as I'm aware these are primarily part of a holiday package, that seems aimed more at the older folk (not a single beach destination for a start!).
Flybe certainly isn't the cheapest airline, but experience over the summer of Easyjet has been less than impressive.
However, if you book earlier enough, rates should be relatively decent – and hopefully a lot cheaper than having to fly down to Gatwick to connect, which adds a whole extra level of cost.
Will be interesting to see how Aberdeen and Glasgow – traditionally well-used airports – fare in comparson price-wise – but obviously with an airport on our doorstep, the more choice it offers, the better for everybody.

excellent news for me!
flying from Toronto to Inverness has required a stop in either Glasgow or London which for some reason costs a good $200+ more than flying to Amsterdam.

Great news I hope it gets off the ground.
It was tried in the past but it did not last too long.
For me as an international worker it would mean no more trips on the train to Aberdeen just straight to AMS
Then the same on the way back,
As for FlyBe they are ok there are a whole lot worse out there.

Hope that this true, I currently work in Rotterdam which means a connection in Manchester at the moment, Inverness flights have been a disaster since flybe took over, no more easy connections in Gatwick's north terminal! no flights to Glasgow or Edinburgh so that rules out connecting flights there!! there were flights from Inverness 15 years ago than their is now.

Re 'False alarms' (Letters, 6 March): while I agree that the widespread use of baby alarms by the general public may not result in the prevention of some cot deaths, surely the fact that some lives will be saved is enough to warrant their use?
My own daughter was brought home from hospital on a monitor but it was subsequently removed when she was deemed 'safe'. We bought our own monitor privately to put our minds at rest, and thank God we did. Josie would not be here were it not for that little flashing light and annoying piercing beep. Our own monitor does not give false alarms, is silent unless triggered and is totally reliable. True, it does not work in the pram or car but it works beautifully in her cot. The monitor is what keeps my sanity and lets me get any sleep at all.
I refuse ...

Jerry Angelo says Bears have "lines in the water"Continue reading.
Former Bears GM Jerry Angelo on Jared Allen: 'He's still got football left. It's a good move'
The Bears paid good money for Jared Allen, but that's the going rate.
''He's still got football left. I think it's a good signing,'' said former Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, who signed Julius Peppers for the Bears in 2009. ''They paid good money for him. But it's certainly money that's in line with these other veteran pass rusher are getting.
''He's a good player. I think it's a good move. Obviously the Bears pass rush was abysmal last year. Anything they can do to bring in a player that can rush the passer — 11 1/2 sacks is nothing to sneeze at — you've got to look at it. The money wasn't outrageous. It's in line with what these other players are getting. I think it's a good move.''
As Angelo noted, Allen still is a quality player. But he's two years removed from his 22-sack season of 2011. He had 12 sacks in 2012 and 11 1/2 last year. He turns 32 in April. Teams have paid more for less production in free agency. But in most cases — like with the Bears signing of Lamarr Houston — it's for players on the upswing. It's hard to say where Allen is in his career at this point.
''You've got to look at DeMarcus Ware [who signed with the Broncos]. What did he have? Six sacks? Where is he at?'' Angelo said. Julius Peppers, what did he have? Where's he at? Michael Johnson, the player the Bucs signed for big money, had 3 1/2 sacks.
''What it tells you is the value of what he does. And that's what players are getting paid. It's not necessarily a case of, 'I want this $8-$10 million player to look like a brand-new Cadillac. [Allen] is not a brand new Cadillac. But he plays a Cadillac position. That's what you have to keep in mind — the value of what he does. And that's what they're paying a premium on.
''It's a good move. They're better. When something's broke you've got to go out and fix it. Given the players that were out there [in free agency] they did the best they could. They should be markedly improved up front [in 2014]. They certainly improved their personnel. And hopefully markedly improved their production.''

Do you have an aging parent who lives alone? If so, it's a good idea to make sure that your parent's diet is nutritionally sound. Poor nutrition can cause a weakened immune system and weight loss. And nutrient deficiencies can contribute to many chronic health conditions, including osteoporosis with its raised risk of falls, anemia, and even dementia.
Many factors can contribute to poor nutritional status, including:
- Low energy or shakiness
- Decreased appetite from depression, medications, or diminished taste buds
- Hard time shopping, carrying groceries, or getting to the supermarket
- Lack of money to buy food items
- Tooth loss, dentures, or other dental problems that make it hard to eat
- Trouble with swallowing
- Not knowing how to cook, especially men
Because of one or more of these situations, older adults may skip meals or choose convenience foods that are quick and easy to prepare. But if they don't choose wisely, they could end up with foods that are highly processed and have poor nutritional quality. Be sure to talk to the doctor if you think your parent is depressed. Also make sure the doctor knows about any problems with eating.
How you can help
Your aging parent will need adequate protein, fruits and vegetables, wholesome starches, and some healthy fat. If you live close by and can do some cooking, pre-cooked small portions of casseroles and soups are ideal. These items can be easily frozen and reheated for later use.
Ideally, helping your parent stock the kitchen with nutritious, convenient foods can be a big help. Your first step will be to take a peek in the fridge and pantry. Expired milk and meat, withered fruits and vegetables, and stale cereal or crackers will need to be tossed and then replaced with nutritious and durable items.
Whether you take your parent shopping with you, hire someone to do the shopping, arrange delivery, or just provide your parent with the information he or she needs, use the following budget-friendly suggestions as a guide for what to keep on hand.
For protein
- Individually wrapped pieces of frozen salmon, tilapia, and chicken breasts. These can be taken out one at a time and baked in the oven with a touch of butter, whole-wheat breadcrumbs, and a dash of seasoning.
- Resealable bags of pre-formed meatballs and pre-made soups. Go for low-sodium items. Heat the meatballs and eat them on a whole-wheat bun or over pasta.
- Packaged low-salt nuts. These make for quick and easy snacks that deliver on protein and healthy fat. Save by buying in bulk and keep in the freezer. Take out small amounts as needed.
- Yogurt, without high-fructose corn syrup. Yogurt delivers on calcium.
- Small, individually wrapped packages of cheddar cheese. The cheese can be paired with crackers for an easy lunch.
- Cottage cheese. Cottage cheese can be eaten cold and mixed with fruit and nuts or served warm mixed with pasta or topped onto a baked potato.
- Canned beans. Cans of beans are super convenient - just rinse and eat. Beans can be added to salads and soups or mixed with quick brown rice for a wholesome fast dinner.
- Canned low-sodium chili that has beans and/or ground beef or chicken.
- Natural peanut butter. Peanut butter can be spread on bread or crackers.
- Eggs. Eggs can be hardboiled or scrambled and eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- Canned or pouched tuna, salmon, or sardines.
Some frozen dinners are nutritionally sound. Check the nutrition label on the back of the box and choose an entree with no more than 10 grams of fat and 500 mg of sodium.
For fruits and vegetables
If these are constantly going bad, suggest buying green bananas, which will last longer, and fruit canned in its own juice. The freezer can also hold the following:
- Resealable packages of frozen fruits. Your parent can take out what is needed and run it under cold water to thaw. Frozen fruit is also great for smoothies. Just add yogurt or milk for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Resealable frozen packs of veggies such as broccoli, peas, brussels sprouts, or mixed vegetables.
For grains and starches
- Individual servings of packaged oatmeal. Opt for plain and encourage your parent to add a serving of fruit, such as sliced banana or thawed frozen berries and nuts.
- Quick-cooking brown rice.
- Pasta, mixed with jarred sauce and a dollop of cottage or ricotta cheese.
- Baked or sweet potatoes. These can be cooked in the microwave in minutes and then topped with shredded cheese or cottage cheese for extra protein.
- Whole-grain breads and English muffins. Bread can be kept in the freezer and taken out one slice at a time.
- Whole-grain crackers. Crackers can be transferred from their package to a sealed jar or resealable plastic bag to help them stay fresh.
Write it down
Another helpful hint is to write down breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack suggestions on a sheet of paper and post it on your parent's fridge. This can remind your parent of what the options are and can help increase the likelihood your parent will eat a nutritious meal.

Editorial: "Stem cells: Back to the future"
SIXTEEN years after the amazing creation of Dolly the cloned sheep, researchers have realised the dream of producing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) using a similar cloning technique.
And this time, it looks as if the cells are genuine, not faked as they were in 2005 when a South Korean team led by Woo Suk Hwang fraudulently claimed to have reached the same goal.
The landmark achievement revives the hope of being able to generate new tissues using a patient's own cells, eliminating the risk of immune rejection.
The idea is to take a cell from a patient – from skin, for example – and fuse it with a human egg cell emptied of its own chromosomes. The fused cell behaves like an embryo and generates hESCs. In theory, these cells can be turned into whatever tissue the patient needs.
Many teams have tried and failed to generate hESCs in this way. The idea fell out of favour following the scandal of 2005, and after the development of a way to turn ordinary skin cells into so-called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), which behave rather like hESCs.
But hESCs may be back on the scene, following work by Shoukhrat Mitalipov at the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Beaverton and his colleagues. In 2007 they showed that it was possible to develop embryonic stem cells from monkey eggs using the Dolly technique. Now they have fine-tuned the method to work with human eggs too.
Critics of the technique have always said that only a small fraction of donated eggs would develop in the required embryo-like way, leading to huge wastage. However, Mitalipov derived hESCs from about half the donated eggs after he fused them with commercially available skin cells from fetuses. One donor gave eight eggs, of which four yielded colonies of hESCs, suggesting several colonies could be made from each set of donated eggs (Cell, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2013.05.006).
Despite the time it took to develop a successful hESC-generating technique – and the interest in iPS cells as an egg and embryo-free alternative – Mitalipov's work is important. Significantly, he has turned some of the hESCs into healthy tissues. Those made with iPS cells, by contrast, tend to accumulate mutations and suffer abnormal patterns of gene activation.
"It would be really nice to derive and compare iPS cells and cells made using the Dolly technique from the same individual to see which were most normal," says Robin Lovell-Badge of the National Institute for Medical Research in London.
John Gurdon of the Gurdon Institute at the University of Cambridge, who shared a Nobel prize in 2012 for his work cloning frog embryos, says that if Mitalipov's hESCs turn out to be superior to those from iPS, it could signal an important advance. "I do not think the technique has arrived too late," he says.
"Mitalipov clearly has very high efficiency, and the cells are highly normal, and that's what iPS cells don't yet deliver," says Chris Mason of University College London. "However, it still boils down to needing to get human eggs," he says.

Members of the Anderson County Board of Education are hoping for warm daytime temperatures at least for a couple more weeks — and for good reason.
An emergency replacement of the boiler at Anderson County High School is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 19.
