Hilt has been converting a few of our guns to use small form lipo's which Hobbytown carries (mostly for model RC stuff). Imagine my suprise when I discover that they actually have a semi-decent selection of airsoft stuff. They had some King's Arms AEG's, some decent BB's at a reasonable price (.20 high grades and bio's and some .25 high grades). He had some small form 8.4v batteries and a smattering of other stuff. I talked to the manager at some length. He was very curious about airsoft and I happily let him pick my brain for whatever that was worth
I think we might have a friend and local source for airsoft stuff with a little encouragement...
This is not an endorsement of Hobbytown and I don't work there or have any special relationship with them. I was just pleasantly suprised to see someone carrying airsoft stuff that was at least a step up from the crap Academy and Wally World sells.
[edit] One of the CR guys mentioned that the prices on their guns where high, I have to admit I didn't look very closely at the guns since I just bought a RS Type-56 AEG so I am not in the market for a gun right now.

Romantic Chicken Dinner for Two
In many Asian countries, long noodles are eaten on New Year's Day in order to bring a long life. One catch: You can't break the noodle before it is all in your mouth.

Due to pigs' dining habits, many countries, including Austria, Cuba, and Spain, view pork as a good-luck food. As pigs root for food, they keep their feet planted and push their snouts forward, signifying progress and future properity.

World AIDS Day is held on December 1st each year and is an opportunity for people around the world to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate people who have lost their lives to the battle.
World AIDS Day was the first-ever global health day. The first one was held in 1988.
An estimated 33.3 million people have HIV in the world today. More than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive and deadly pandemics in history.
Today, many scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment. There are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition than we did before. Still, too many people don't know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV. Stigma and discrimination are still a harsh reality for many people living with HIV.
World AIDS Day serves to remind the public and Government that HIV has not gone away. There's still a critical need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice, and improve education.
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for you to learn the facts about HIV and put your knowledge into action.
You can also show your support for people living with HIV on World AIDS Day by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of HIV awareness.
This World AIDS Day, we're being asked to "Act Aware". Acting aware means finding out the facts about HIV and using this knowledge to protect yourself and others from infection.
Many people do not understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, or the reality of living with the virus today.
Want to do something about this? Visit HIVaware – an interactive new website that provides all the information everyone needs to know about HIV.
HIV Facts
HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a virus that attacks the body's immune system – the body's defense against diseases.
HIV can be passed on through infected bodily fluids, most commonly via sex without a condom or by sharing infected needles, syringes, or other injecting drug equipment.
There are now more people than ever living with HIV, with around a 25 percent of those people unaware they have the virus.
Here are a few more facts about HIV:
- Over 90% of people with HIV were infected through sexual contact
- You can now get tested for HIV using a saliva sample
- HIV is not passed on through spitting, biting or sharing utensils
- Only 1% of babies born to HIV positive mothers have HIV
- You can get the results of an HIV test in just 15-20 minutes
- There is no vaccine and no cure for HIV
There is still much more you can learn about HIV by visiting HIVaware or the official World AIDS Day website.

MUTOKO district administrator Cephas Mudavanhu has challenged quarrying companies extracting black granite in the area to be socially responsible by rehabilitating the environment. Speaking in an interview at Mutoko Centre after welcoming members of a "walkathon" team that walked from Harare to Mutoko on Friday to raise tree planting awareness, Mr Mudavanhu said the companies were destroying trees, grass, the soil and wildlife.
"They are destroying trees in the mountains and the heavy trucks they use to ferry the granite are not suitable for the soils around here, so they are causing excessive degradation of the environment," he said.
"The companies should at least demonstrate their knowledge of good corporate governance by rehabilitating the places from which they would have extracted the black granite."
Mr Mudavanhu said those who participated in the walkathon were engaged in a noble fight to save the environment. He said they needed the support of the communities and policy makers through enacting laws that protected the trees being planted. A total of 180 people from different organisations teamed up for the walkathon for more than 145 kilometres from Harare to Mutoko.
A non-governmental organisation, Friends for the Environment, organised the walkathon that started last Wednesday and ended in Mutoko on Friday. The walkers planted 2 500 trees at Bhora in Chikwaka and 1 500 trees at Murewa Centre, while 1 300 trees were planted at Mutoko Centre. A further 2 200 trees were set to be planted at Katsukunya Secondary School in Mutoko where OK Zimbabwe sponsored the establishment of a nursery.
An official with Nyaradzo Funeral Assurance, Patience Fusire, said the team's objective was to plant 7 500 trees cumulatively from Bhora to Mutoko as a way of educating communities on the need to plant trees to replace those that they would have cut. Standard Chartered Bank, OK Zimbabwe, CBZ Bank, Kingdom Bank, National Parks and Wildlife, The Herald and Forestry Commission were part of the event that was also supported by the police and the army. In 2010, the walkathon was from Gweru to Harare where trees were planted at selected sites. Last year, the walkathon was from Harare to Mutare.

When I travelled to Singapore, I did not own an iPhone at first. I was merely relying on websites about Singapore.
The most important thing you need is a map. There are many maps and books sold in books stores about Singapore. For the purpose of going paperless or less tourist-y, we will be using online references.
I have been using StreetDirectory for the longest time now. The map is very precise. It allowed me to go to places around Singapore without a hitch. Familiarize yourself first on how to use the website and/or app before travelling to Singapore.
Using the StreetDirectory website, begin by searching the place you want to get to. Let's say we want to search and go to Singapore Botanical Gardens. The map will automatically search and point the place for you.
Then, on the left pane of the website, click Directions tab. Enter the Start address field. Basically, where you will be starting your journey. This can be from your hotel or where you are at the moment. But you won't be opening your laptop with you when you travel around Singapore, right? So do this before leaving your hotel. What I like to do is to look for the nearest MRT station of the place I want to go. Let's say our starting point is the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and just enter in the Start field. It will automatically search for you or you can click Go.
At the bottom of the Start/End field, the website will give you 4 options to travel to Botanical Gardens. By car, bus, taxi and Bus/MRT. It will also give you an estimate of how much you will have to pay for fare and the travelling time estimate as well.
If you like to take the bus, damn the city view, take note of the street name, the landmarks around the bus station, the bus station number where you have to take the bus and most especially the bus number. Take note of how many stops the bus will take and at least 2-3 landmarks of these stops before you need to get off the bus. It will guide you in getting off to the correct bus stop.
So, click Bus option. It will show your Start location and the next steps you need to make. In this case, we are first directed to walk towards Bus Stop number B08031, Penang Road is the name of the street and the nearest landmark is Park Mall. So, if you are lost, ask where Park Mall is.
Second, wait and get on Bus number 07 or just 7. The website says that it is about 10 stops from where you are from to Botanical Gardens. It will also tell you the landmark where you need to get off and the bus stop number which is Holland Road, Youth Flying Club and at B13021. If you look at the map closely, you will see that you will pass through Grange Residences, British Council, Embassy of USA and Tanglin Golf Course. These are your landmarks signifying that you are near your bus stop.
From your stop, the last directive is to walk towards Botanical Garden. Click the last step and the map at the center of the website will zoom in to your end location. Then, you will know that the bus stop is right under an overpass and that you will have to walk towards the direction of a forest and walk along Tyersall Ave street. If you zoom in some more, it will show where the gates are to enter the gardens.
With your iPhone, you need to look for Singapore Maps application by Streetdirectory Pte Ltd.
Once you open the App, the GPS will show where you are currently at in Singapore. Click Directions at the bottom of the screen app and just do the same as you would via the website.
If you search StreetDirectory in the Apps, you will see that they have also created a version of Malaysia. Hello, travellers!

Students and scholars gather to honor Rawls's work and life
The event that for the last few months we have been calling "Rawls Fest" took place last Friday, November 30, 2012, in the Faculty Room of Yale's Connecticut Hall. This one-day workshop was held in honor of the 10th anniversary of John Rawls' passing (November 24, 2002).
Our gratitude goes to the Yale Philosophy Department, which kindly hosted the event. We were honored to have the Department Chair, Professor Tamar Szabó Gendler, deliver the opening remarks, and we are happy to say that "Rawls Fest" was a success. It was a well-attended workshop, which brought together established scholars and younger students to exchange thoughts on Rawls's work and legacy.
More than 50 people attended the conference, including renowned academics Jon Mandle, Paul Weithman, Dan Dombrowski, and Michelle Moody-Adams (to name only a few) and graduate students from Yale and other colleges and universities. In particular, we were happy to have with us several students from Sarah Lawrence College and Fairfield University, and are grateful to their professors of politics and philosophy, David Peritz and Joy Gordon, for encouraging them to attend.
Special thanks go to all the presenters and chairs of our six sessions: Paul Weithman, who chaired Andrius Gališanka's presentation; Daniel Dombrowski, who chaired for P. Mackenzie Bok; Carmen Dege, who chaired for Andrei Poama; Andrew Lister, who chaired for Esha Senchaudhuri and Kyle Adams; Lea Brilmayer, who chaired for Timothy Waligore; and Jon Mandle, who chaired for Hyunseop Kim. We greatly enjoyed the presentations and the discussions that followed.
The day was divided in 4 parts. In the first session, "Rawls in Context: The Early Days," we had occasion to learn from students of American intellectual history (Gališanka and Bok) who have worked in the Rawls archive, held by the Pusey Library of Harvard University. Andrius Gališanka's presentation dealt with the relationship between the early Rawls and logical positivism by focusing on papers that Rawls wrote during his graduate years at Princeton (1946-1951). Kenzie Bok's presentation focused on papers that Rawls wrote in the 1950s and dealt with the relationship between Rawls's way of conceiving political philosophy, contemporary Aristotelianism, and the later of Wittgenstein's works.
The second session, "Between Correction and Distribution," was dedicated to the unusual topic of Rawls and the problem of punishment. Andrei Poama's presentation put in relation Rawls's renowned first principle of justice with the problems of corrective justice, and it focused on the problem of envisaging a penal system from the perspective of Rawls's original position.
In the third session, "The Private, the Public, and the Semi-Public," Esha Senchaudhuri and Kyle Adams engaged in a conversation while presenting two perspectives on the problem of the scope of public reason. Esha made use of the notion of a 'sympathetic liberalism' while Kyle defended what he deemed a 'narrow' conception of public reason.
In the fourth session, "Beyond Borders," Timothy Waligore focused on what he deemed the limits of Rawls's well-known difference principle, by dealing with the problem of historical injustice. Tim proposed a 'historicized difference principle' as a way of bridging the gap between ideal and non-ideal theory with regard to the present and future assessment of inherited forms of injustice. Hyunseop Kim presented a reading of The Law of Peoples hinged on the notion of stability. Hyunseop argued that the concern for internal stability of a liberal democracy – a crucial concern for Rawls in Political Liberalism – is also at the core of Rawls's arguments about international justice.
All the papers are available for download on our website.
Last but not least, we are deeply grateful to Mardy Rawls and Rawls's two daughters, Anne Warfield and Elizabeth (Liz) Fox, who kindly agreed to conclude our conference with an amusing and touching reading on Rawls's private life.
To the memory of
John Bordley Rawls
Baltimore, MD - February 21, 1921
Lexington, MA - November 24, 2002

Advice & Support
Jaundice is a
condition that makes a newborn's skin and the white part of the eyes look
yellow. It happens because there is too much
bilirubin in the baby's blood (hyperbilirubinemia).
Bilirubin is a substance that is made when the body breaks down old
red blood cells.
Jaundice usually is not
a problem. But in rare cases, too much bilirubin in the blood can cause brain
damage (kernicterus). This can lead to hearing loss, intellectual disability, and other problems.
In healthy babies, some
jaundice almost always appears by 2 to 4 days of age. It usually gets better or
goes away on its own within a week or two without causing problems.
In breast-fed babies, mild jaundice sometimes lasts until 10 to 14 days
after birth. In some breast-fed babies, it goes away and then comes back.
Jaundice may last throughout breast-feeding. This isn't usually a problem as
long as the baby gets enough milk by being fed at regular times.
Babies who have jaundice need a follow-up exam within the first 5 days after birth. Before or after that visit, your doctor may ask you to watch for signs that the jaundice is going away or to bring your baby in for a test to check if the jaundice is getting better. Call your doctor if the yellow color gets
brighter after your baby is 3 days old.
Jaundice occurs
because your baby's body has more bilirubin than it can get rid of. Bilirubin
is made when the body breaks down old red blood cells. It leaves the body
through urine and stool. During pregnancy, your body removes bilirubin from
your baby through the
placenta. After birth, your baby's body must get rid
of the bilirubin on its own.
Breast-fed newborns can become
dehydrated easily if feedings are spaced too far
apart. This lack of enough milk in the body makes it harder for your baby to
get rid of wastes such as bilirubin. Also, some of the things that make up
breast milk can change the way the body removes bilirubin.
In rare
cases, too much bilirubin may be caused by infections, a problem with the
baby's digestive system, or a problem with the mom's and baby's blood types
(Rh incompatibility). Your baby may have one of these
problems if jaundice appears less than a day after birth.
Jaundice can make your
baby's skin and the white part of the baby's eyes look yellow. You may see the
yellow color between 1 and 4 days after birth. It shows up first in the baby's
face and chest. Babies who have bilirubin levels that are too high may have a
high-pitched cry. They also may be sluggish and cranky.
Your baby's
doctor will do a physical exam and ask you questions. The doctor may ask
A blood test for bilirubin may be done to find out if
your baby needs treatment.
More tests may be done if the doctor
thinks that a health problem is causing too much bilirubin in the blood.
Most of the time no treatment
is needed for jaundice, because it usually goes away on its own. If you are
breast-feeding, you may be able to help reduce the jaundice by feeding your
baby about 8 to 12 times a day.
Sometimes babies with jaundice
are put under a type of fluorescent light. This is called
phototherapy. The skin absorbs the light. This changes
the bilirubin so that the body can more easily get rid of it in the stool and
urine. The treatment is usually done in a hospital. But babies sometimes are
treated at home.
If a health problem caused the jaundice, your
baby may need other treatment.

Trichomoniasis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The parasite that causes trichomoniasis can be passed from one person to another during sexual intercourse. The good news is that trichomoniasis is curable.
A girl with trichomoniasis can get vaginitis, which is the medical term for inflammation of the vagina. A girl who has trichomoniasis may have vaginal discharge that can be gray, yellow, or green, and may be foamy. This discharge may have a foul odor, and a girl's vagina may feel very itchy.
A girl with trichomoniasis may find it very painful to urinate. Trichomoniasis can also cause an achy abdomen and pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse.
Some girls do not have any symptoms.
In most cases, guys won't notice any symptoms. However, a guy who has trichomoniasis may notice some temporary irritation inside his penis or a mild burning feeling when he pees.
Symptoms usually appear 5 to 28 days after a person has been exposed.
Trichomoniasis can make someone more susceptible to getting HIV. In pregnant women, trichomoniasis can cause the baby to be born early or to be born with a low birth weight.
If a patient has trichomoniasis, a doctor usually will also test for other STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia because these STDs sometimes occur together.
If you think you may have trichomoniasis or if you have had a partner who may have trichomoniasis, you need to see your family doctor, adolescent doctor, or gynecologist. He or she will do an exam and swab the vagina or penis for secretions, which will then be tested.
Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for people who are diagnosed with trichomoniasis. Sexual partners should be treated at the same time, and people being treated should not have sex until they have finished their treatment and no longer have symptoms.
It's better to prevent trichomoniasis than to treat it, of course. The only way to completely prevent infection is to not have any type of sexual intercourse (called abstinence). People who choose to have sex should use a latex condom every time, and limit their number of sexual partners. Condoms are the only birth control method that will help prevent trichomoniasis.

Roasted Garlic Potato Salad
June 16th 2010By Joy of Kosher
Combine the delicious flavors of roasted garlic and potatoes and you have an awesome potato salad.
Red, White and Blue Potato and Goat Cheese Salad
June 26th 2014By MeganWolfRD
This dish incorporates purple [blue] potatoes, red beets and white goat cheese. As a Registered Dietitian, I'm more than happy to serve up a healthy [and All-American!] dish this year. Purple potatoes are rich in the same antioxidants found in blueberries and pomegranate seeds. Red beets are rich in fiber, vitamins A, B and C, and folic acid [an especially important nutrient for mamas-to-be]. Goat cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, and offers a tangy and creamy bite. The cheese pairs nicely with the different textures of the potatoes and beets.

Israeli Potato Salad
October 24th 2013By Jamie Geller
I like using small red potatoes with the skin intact for my potato salad, and Chanie says I can do it, if I want, but it's not authentic. Her way, the Israeli way, offers a more delicate flavor as opposed to the more rustic American-style potato salads. The recipe here is very similar to my grandparents' Romanian chicken salad, they would add cubed cooked (usually leftover soup or roast) chicken in addition to or in place of the potatoes. Tip! Using a tablespoon or two of pickle juice is a quick and easy way to flavor the dressing. But it is a pungent flavor, so start with 1 tablespoon and taste before adding the 2nd if desired.
Insalata Di Patate E Fagiolini

A bit labor intensive, the flavors of this Italian-style potato salad are so addictive, you won't mind the extra work. Give the salad plenty of time to come to room temperature before serving.

The Bonobo and the Atheist and How Animals Grieve show that we must be careful when studying animals to learn about the origins of human traits and behaviours

Bonobos are more likely than chimps to have concern for each other (Image: ZSSD/Minden Pictures/FLPA)
WHERE does morality come from? Throughout the history of Western civilisation, thinkers have usually answered either that it comes from God, or else through the application of reason.
But in The Bonobo and the Atheist, primatologist Frans de Waal argues that there's another answer that fits the data better: morality comes from our evolutionary past as a social primate. Like our closest relatives the apes, humans evolved in small, tightly knit, cooperative groups. As a result, again like the apes, we are exquisitely sensitive to one another's moods, needs and intentions.
This well-developed empathy provided the trellis on which morality later flowered. De Waal, who is based at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has been making this case eloquently for many years and over several books, notably in Good Natured back in 1997, and in Primates and Philosophers, 12 years later.
In his new work, he bolsters the argument by drawing on a lot of new research, carefully footnoted for those who want to dig deeper. De Waal distinguishes two degrees of morality. The first he calls "one-on-one morality", which governs how an individual can expect to be treated, and the second "community concern", a larger, more abstract concept that extends to the harmony of the group as a whole.
Chimps and bonobos certainly have the former – they respect ownership, for example, and expect to be treated according to their place in the hierarchy. But de Waal presents several examples – such as a chimp stepping in to stop a fight between two others – that suggest that they also have a rudimentary form of the latter.
The book's title, incidentally, draws on bonobos because they are more likely than chimps to behave morally, to have concern for each other, to value harmony and so on. This, imagines, de Waal, is something morally inclined atheists would want to emulate.
If humans inherited morality from our ancestors, though, what are we to make of religion? Here de Waal moves into territory he has not explored before. Clearly, religion must do something important, since every human culture has it. But instead of religion giving us morality, de Waal turns the tables. Morality, he argues, probably gave us religion as a way of reinforcing the pre-existing community concern.
If he's right, then there may be no absolute code of right and wrong out there to be discovered. Instead, each individual's evolved sense of empathy and concern for the group may help shape the group's consensus on what kind of behaviour is appropriate. In short, says de Waal, morality may be something we all have to work out together. It's a persuasive argument, and de Waal's cautious and evidence-based approach is one that many New Scientist readers are sure to find congenial.
That careful approach is less evident in another book covering some of the same ground. In How Animals Grieve, anthropologist Barbara King sets out to explore the question of whether non-human animals grieve for their dead. It's an intriguing question, but unfortunately King's book is largely a succession of anecdotes: the cat who roams the house, crying, in search of its dead litter mate; the dog who waits daily at the train station for its dead master; a dolphin trying to keep her dead calf afloat for days.
Some of these stories make a persuasive case for some animals – especially apes, elephants and cetaceans – sometimes grieving. No surprises there: I suspect most readers would have conceded that ground right from the start.
But King makes little effort to dig any deeper by exploring, for example, the neural machinery and cognitive skills an animal needs in order to be capable of grief. After all, solitary species such as cats have less need for empathy – and its corollary, grief – than social animals, and small-brained creatures such as turtles may simply lack the brainpower or not form lasting pair bonds.
To his credit, de Waal takes full note of such distinctions; King, not so much.

Bobby Parnell blows save, Mets lose on wild pitch
Jul 17, 2012, 11:27 PM EDT
Those who believe Bobby Parnell just doesn't have the mentality to close have gained a little more ammunition over the last week.
Parnell blew his second save in four days, and Pedro Beato threw a wild pitch to score the winning run in the 10th as the Mets lost to the Nationals 5-4 on Tuesday.
Parnell is now 2-for-4 in save opportunities since replacing the injured Frank Francisco in the closer's role. He hasn't really fallen apart in either blown save; the Nationals, like the Braves before them on Saturday, simply managed to string together three singles and score a run off him tonight. Still, that can't make manager Terry Collins feel much better about things.
After Parnell lost a one-run lead in the ninth, the Mets went back ahead in the top of the 10th on a Josh Thole double. However, Tim Byrdak and Beato combined to blow it from there. A Bryce Harper triple tied the game, and Beato's wild pitch ended it.
With Parnell looking like a better option in the eighth than the ninth, the Mets could go to a closer-by-committee until Francisco returns. However, they're short of quality alternatives, and one guy Collins does seem to have faith in for a late-inning role, Miguel Batista, is about to move into the rotation in place of Dillon Gee.

- jssgriffi - Jul 18, 2012 at 5:52 AM
Doesnt the GM realize they need a closer!!!!!!!!! And another relief pitcher!! WTF! They would be pretty damn good
- Reggie's Bush - Jul 18, 2012 at 7:04 AM
Add Clippard for a blown save in this game as well.
- natstowngreg - Jul 18, 2012 at 11:19 AM
Consecutive poor outings for Clippard. The previous appearance in Miami, he loaded the bases in a 4-run game, then got out of it.
Rumor has it, Mike Rizzo is "interested" in another reliever. How "interested" is unclear, especially considering Drew Storen's return.
- sincitybonobo - Jul 18, 2012 at 8:46 AM
I was lucky enough to attend this game. I've been to my share of games at 22 MLB parks and if this game were played in October, it would be tagged with the "instant classic" designation.
Both starters, Niese and Detwiler, were outstanding. There was only one unintentional walk issued. There were four stellar defensive plays, including a Harper laser beam from CF that prevented Wright from scoring on a would-be sac fly, preserving a 1-0 lead in the top of the 7th.
Jordeny Valdespin pinch hit for Jason Bay in the Mets' most crucial AB- and promptly jacked a 3-run go-ahead HR in the 9th. I hope Bay can recapture some of his former glory, but this could not have helped his psyche.
Also, this is an an excellent park and the presentation of the game is sharp and polished. The Nats are for real in 2012 and this franchise is heading is a very positive direction. They picked a particularly good couple of years to finish DFL in the majors. Strasburg and Harper are two gifts that would make many GM's look like geniuses. But, beyond these two blue-chippers, the organization is doing a lot of things right.
- kkolchak - Jul 18, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Yep–look who it was that hit the Nats' lone dinger last night–rookie Tyler Moore, a 15th round draft pick. Rookie Steve Lombardozzi, who batted leadoff filling in for Desmond and who has become a highly valuable super utility guy, was drafted in the 21st round. Rizzo's scouting department has proved its worth time and time again.
- The Dangerous Mabry - Jul 18, 2012 at 10:21 AM
"With Parnell looking like a better option in the eighth than the ninth,"
Is it gauche to point out that Parnell's first of two blown saves came in the eighth? I just think it's valuable information to note that there's nothing magical about the ninth inning here.

Guest Column: Crucifixions, Not Fictions
by Raymond Ibrahim
IPT News
September 4, 2012
I recently wrote an article based on Arabic reports that Muslim Brotherhood supporters had crucified Morsi's opponents. Because it was picked up by several websites and disseminated far and wide, as usual, Islam's apologists and others claimed "hoax."
Readers sent me a couple of these articles which, upon further investigation, seem to be based on a National Post article titled "Egypt's 'crucifixion' hoax becomes an instant Internet myth" by Jonathan Kay. He characterizes the crucifixion account as "a story worth dissecting — not because it's true (it isn't), but because it is a textbook example of how the Internet, once thought to be the perfect medium of truth-seeking, has been co-opted by culture warriors as a weapon to fire up the naïve masses with lies and urban legends."
Alternatively, dissecting Kay's claims is useful as it is a textbook example of how the Western mindset tries to rationalize away whatever does not fit its intellectual boundaries.
First, after mentioning the several websites that carried or quoted my article, Kay wondered how none of the "sources supply the original Sky reporting that purportedly outlines the facts." Then, he offers the following sentence as its own paragraph, apparently as something of an eye-opening revelation:
"That's because there is no Sky report on the subject."
Actually, this big "aha" moment was made earlier and by someone else—me, in my original article. After posting the names of several Arabic websites that carried the same verbatim quote from Sky News, I pointed out that Sky removed its original report. I did not have to make this point, or mention Sky News at all, since other reports—including El Balad, a much higher trafficked Arabic website which I also quoted—independently mentions the crucifixions in original language and further adds that two people died. And that report, as of now, is still up.
Kay then quotes a Sky News official who supposedly told him that the crucifixion claim
began on social media. It started getting pick-up from there and eventually reached us [Sky News]. Our reporters came across reports of the alleged crucifixions and a story very briefly appeared on the Sky News Arabia website. The story — which was taken down within minutes — was based on third-party reports and I am not aware that any of our reporters said or confirmed anything along the lines of what is quoted in the article… none of our correspondents confirmed this issue or commented on it.
Several points here:
First, Sky News admits to having published a story about crucifixions. Likewise, though it admits to taking it down, it never states that the crucifixion accounts are a "hoax" or even false. It simply offers no comment. This is not proof that the story is a hoax.
As for the claim that the report was "taken down within minutes," in fact, someone forwarded me the Sky News link almost two days before I actually clicked it, and the article was still up and written exactly like a report. Investigative reporter Patrick Poole sent me a clear snapshot of the webpage before it was removed, which is before me.
The title, "Protesters Crucified in Front of Presidential Palace in Egypt," is followed by the following standard reporting information: "Thursday, August 9, 3:19 am Abu Dhabi time; 11:19 pm Greenwich; Samir Umar [reporter], Cairo, Sky News Arabic," followed by the portion I originally translated: "A Sky News Arabic correspondent in Cairo confirmed that protestors belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood crucified those opposing Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace while abusing others."
Moreover, the photo of the page shows 286 face book likes: one doubts that a report on a modestly trafficked website would reach that number if it was only up for mere minutes.
Kay also ignored the context of the crucifixions in my original article: Muslim Brotherhood supporters were brutalizing the media for constantly exposing the Islamist agenda—a well documented fact. A major news media facility was ransacked, popular anchors beat and terrorized. Soon thereafter, Brotherhood officials were appointed to "oversee" major media outlets in Egypt.
As I originally pointed out, Sky News may have "censored itself for fear that it would be next in the terror campaign against the media." If this is the case—if Sky News had removed its report on Brotherhood crucifixions in light of the fact that the Brotherhood was in the process of abusing and threatening the media—would it then get itself in deeper trouble by, of all things, telling a Western reporter, "Yes, the Brotherhood crucified people and we took the story down in fear of the Brotherhood"? Not likely.
Kay also writes: "If that [crucifixion] happened, wouldn't someone, you know, take a picture?... Maybe just a few shots with a cell phone camera from one of the tens of thousands of people who no doubt would have witnessed this Biblical horror in one of the most densely trafficked patches of real estate in the entire Arab world?"
One wonders if Kay has ever been around a wild pro-Sharia mob in Egypt savaging its opponents. It's not pretty; the usual instinct is to run for one's life, not take photos and thus further enrage the mob by collecting evidence against them. Likewise, if photos were the ultimate criteria to validate reports, then over 90% of all news stories become suspect for not carrying pictures.
Even so, yet another reputable Arabic website, Dostor Watany, did post a graphic picture, which appeared in my original article. It depicts a man rescued by security forces, with one side of his body literally carved off. But apparently doubting Kay needs to see the actual holes in the victim's hands before he believes that the same Muslim Brotherhood supporters who mutilated this man could ever crucify someone.
Moreover, the reports do not mention any numbers. Yet even if there were, as Kay asserts, "tens of thousands" of people present, that would still say very little.
Recall Egypt's Maspero Massacre: while the disconnected Western mainstream media was portraying it as violent Christians attacking Egyptian police, in fact, it was the Egyptian military slaughtering Christians, killing dozens and wounding hundreds, simply because they came out in large numbers to protest the constant destruction of their churches. And although there were several thousands of people present that night, only a very few amateur videos appeared showing armored-vehicles running over Christians—and these, too, I now see have been taken down from YouTube.
Kay's "evidence" culminates by quoting, of all things, a comment under one of the websites carrying my story, from someone who claims to be a Copt, lives near the area, and heard of no such occurrences.
Such is the sort of "proof" being relied on to "debunk" this story—as if this commenter could not be, say, a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer living up to the dictum of Islam's prophet, that "war is deceit."
All this leads to the most important point. Whereas Kay appears intent on proving that the crucifixions never happened, a close read of my article shows that I never said they did happen. As always, I merely reported and translated what was on the Arabic media; noted that Sky News took its story down; and then offered my own interpretation—including the fact that Muslims have been known to crucify their opponents in the modern era, crucifixions are prescribed by the Koran and Sharia, and an Egyptian parliamentarian recently called for crucifixions to be legalized.
In light of all the above, I reiterate my original conclusion: "there is little reason to doubt this crucifixion story."
Indeed, soon after this crucifixion story appeared in the Egyptian media, a disturbing video surfaced from Yemen, of a mutilated man, crucified.
How long before the usual naysayers try to portray even this video as a "hoax"?

Hamas Charter
Submitted by Ann, Sep 24, 2012 15:44
Thanks for the article; I have been passing that info around for awhile and while we have enough of muslims inhuman human rights treatment, we don't need disinfo, so it is good to know. I did remember a few years back, Hamas wanted to bring back crucifixation as another form of capitol punishment, so I followed up. Since the Hamas is the creation of the MB, it shouldn't come as a surpise. (I don't understand Arabic but it is on the LiveLeek)
While the world focused on Hamas militants launching rockets from Gaza at southern Israel, the terrorist organization also voted quietly to implement Islamic law in the Gaza Strip, including crucifixion of Christians, according to reports in the Arabic press.
The traditional Muslim criminal code, known as Sharia law, includes penalties such as amputation of limbs for stealing and the death penalty, including crucifixion, for actions Hamas deems detrimental to "Palestinian interests," including collaborating with Israel.
Read more on Newsmax.com: Hamas Reinstates Crucifixions of Christians
Hamas members of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza have approved a new bill "to implement Koranic punishments," including hand amputation, crucifixion, corporal punishment and execution. Drinking, owning or producing wine is punished by 40 lashes, while drinking in public adds three months' imprisonment. Several laws are directed against Hamas's Palestinian rivals, including a law intended to inhibit non-Hamas negotiators by sentencing to death anyone who was "appointed to negotiate with a foreign government on a Palestinian issue and negotiated against Palestinians' interest."
The following is the description as it appears today on the Al Arabiya website:

Right to Food Campaign
Mid-day Meals: Introduction
On 28 November 2001, the Supreme Court directed state governments to introduce cooked mid-day meals in all government and government-assisted primary schools within six months (see legal action section for further details). This landmark order was one of the first achievements of the right to food campaign. The order was followed by organised public pressure for the introduction of cooked mid-day meals in primary schools, e.g. in the form of a country-wide "day of action on mid-day meals" in April 2002.
In response to this pressure, and to the court orders, all state governments have initiated mid-day meal programmes. Today, with more than 100 million children covered, India���s mid-day meal programme is by far the largest nutrition programme in the world.
The quality of mid-day meals, however, varies a great deal between different states. Some states, notably in southern India, have reasonably good mid-day meal programmes. Others initially introduced ramshackle mid-day meals on a shoestring budget, mainly to appease the Supreme Court. The campaign focuses not only on the implementation of Supreme Court orders but also on quality issues.

Excellent--were a hit with my family, friends--they freeze and reheat well too--excellent flavor and easy to prepare!!
This recipe is a keeper. I used a small can of corn instead of carrots. The yogurt is a good idea for people watching thier waist line. However, the taste was slightly noticeable. Next time ...
This recipe is great! I thought it would be too spicy, but it was just right! My 3 year old daughter even likes it!

THQ Inc. to Receive $6.55 Million in Sale of Certain Intellectual Properties to Nordic Games, Gearbox Software, and 505 Games Business Wire AGOURA HILLS, Calif. -- April 22, 2013 THQ Inc. (OTC: THQIQ) today announced that it has completed the bidding and sale process on certain of its intellectual properties (IP) with three buyers emerging to pay $6.55 million for the six available lots, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. The company is filing its motions today with the Bankruptcy Court to obtain approval of these proposed sales. The $6.55 million sale of the IP assets breaks down as follows: *$4.9 million from Nordic Games Licensing AB, a Swedish-based video games publisher, for Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs ATV, Other Owned Software (includes Destroy all Humans!, Summoner and more), and Other Licensed Software (includes Marvel Super Hero Squad, Supreme Commander and more); *$1.35 million from Gearbox Software, LLC, a Plano, Tex.-based developer of interactive entertainment, for Homeworld; and *$.3 million from 505 Games Srl, an Italian video game publisher, for Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. The company expects the Bankruptcy Court to hear the sales motions on May 13, 2013 and to finalize the sale transactions thereafter. On April 18, the company filed its Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement with the Court. The Plan outlines how certain classes of claims will be satisfied. Once the Court approves the Disclosure Statement, voting on the Plan by certain impaired classes will commence. Both documents are available for review online at www.kccllc.net/thq.

Football: Mustangs aim for the Skyline Saturday
By L. Scott Hainline | November 27, 2012
Photo By L. Scott HainlineWestfield junior quarterback Courtland Greenwood (7) tries to get past Austin Bowie's Jason Disney (49) during Westfield's 31-7 playoff win against Bowie on Saturday, 11-24-12 in Brenham.
Photo By L. Scott HainlineWestfield senior running back Emmitt Raleigh (34) takes off on a long run with the help of a block from senior Tyler Batson (16) during Westfield's win against Bowie last weekend.
Photo By L. Scott HainlineThere was really no place for the Austin Bowie offense to go thanks to the total team effort of the Mustangs including seniors Jamikal Pott (11), Tony Qualls (44), Chantz Singletary (32), Maurice Anderson (99) and others during Westfield's 31-7 playoff win against Bowie on Saturday, 11-24-12 in Brenham.
Photo By L. Scott HainlineWestfield football head coach Corby Meekins has the 2012 Mustangs in the third round of the playoffs for the second straight season.
More Information
About the game
What: Class 5A Region II Division I regional playoff (third round)
Teams: Westfield (12-0) vs. Dallas Skyline (11-1)
When: 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1
Where: Georgetown ISD Stadium
Next: Winner advances against Allen (11-1) or Round Rock Westwood (9-3)
Dallas Skyline averages just under 50 points per game, and the Raiders have not scored less than 35 in a 2012 outing, and they've lit up the scoreboard for 70 and 63 in separate outings this month.
Those figures are not lost on Westfield (12-0) and Mustangs coach Corby Meekins as they take on Skyline (11-1) in a Class 5A Region II Division I regional (third round) playoff at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 at Georgetown ISD Stadium.
"Skyline is pretty balanced offensively, and they can run and throw the ball, and they're big and fast," Meekins said. "They have put up some numbers, and we're looking forward at the opportunity of facing an offense like that."
During November, the Raiders dominated Dallas White 70-14 and Richardson Berkner 63-20 in their final two District 9-5A outings, and then took care of Plano 35-14 and Mesquite Horn 47-28 in the first two weeks of the playoffs.
Skyline opened the season by beating The Woodlands 42-28 and Arlington Martin 37-34 before suffering a 38-36 loss to Arlington Bowie, which is also playing this week.
It's been nine wins in a row for Skyline since then and the streak also features victories over Dallas Jesuit 56-24, Lake Highlands 42-6, Richardson Pearce 57-14, Dallas Sunset 56-0 and Richardson 49-20.
Westfield has outscored 12 opponents 491-199 (compared to 590-240 by Skyline) and that includes postseason triumphs against Conroe 77-7 and Austin Bowie 31-7 last week in Brenham.
Bowie's only points came in the final quarter when Westfield lost a fumble inside its 10-yard line, and it took Bowie three downs to score.
"We dominated on defense the whole game, and offensively, we did what we wanted to do," Meekins said. "We had some penalties in the kicking game that backed us up, and if not for those, it would have been one of our best performances of the season."
Westfield and Skyline football have no previous history, but Westfield did play at Georgetown ISD Stadium a year ago and posted a 33-25 playoff win against powerful Garland Rowlett.
"We go up Saturday morning and be ready to go," Meekins said.
The Westfield-Skyline winner moves on to face Allen (11-1) or Round Rock Westfwood (9-3) in next week's state quarterfinals.
"We had another great team effort against Austin Bowie in Brenham," Meekins said, "and we're working to eliminate our mistakes and play even better football this week."
The final 16 teams (and matchups) in the 5A Division I bracket also include Elsik vs. North Shore and Lamar vs. Fort Bend Travis in Region III, San Antonio Northside O'Connor vs. Laredo Alexander and San Antonio Madison vs. Mission Sharyland in Region IV; and Arlington Bowie vs. Desoto and Southlake Carroll vs. Euless Trinity in Region I.
The 5A Division I playoffs end with the state championship game at 8 p.m. on Dec. 22 (a Saturday) at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The University of Saskatchewan are conducting a research project related to Pre-Health Professions Club Experiences.
To understand the effects and potential impacts of the PHP Club, a research component has been included. The intended outcome of this research is to determine if the Club experience is helpful to you in your career planning process.
Students are asked to voluntarily participate in a longitudinal study that reflects their understandings and intentions regarding health professional studies. Following completion of the PHP Club involvement, volunteers complete a short survey on their experiences. Students who wish to participate are contacted at intervals after high school graduation to determine whether they have continued in a health professions program of study.
Participation in this research project is completely voluntary and will allow participants to have input into the future directions of this program. Researchers will be conducting pre-and post surveys while students are in high school and then contacting students following their graduation completion.

Publisher's Description
Timeless truths behind the debates over Christ s return.
When and how will the millennium of Christ s reign occur? Will Christ return to reign on earth before or after the church has been raptured? Will there be a literal thousand-year reign on earth? These questions vex many Christians, yet many miss the more important question: What does the coming millennium mean for life in our present age? This study will examine this question.
Table of Contents
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 11:3 4; Jeremiah 3:17 18; Zechariah 14:6 9; Acts 2:33 36; 1 Corinthians 15:25 27, Revelation 20
The Issue
Sample question:The Scriptures
How can we find a balance between not caring at all about the coming millennium and being ready to argue the merits of the position we favor?
Sample Scriptures:
What is the most important aspect of the millennium? See Acts 2:33 36 and 1 Corinthians 15:25 27.
The Application
Sample application questions:
... the Spirit is not calling us to debate ad nauseam when and how John s vision of the thousand-year golden age is fulfilled, but to focus on how we are to live now in light of Jesus future return. What does that mean to you?
How does that affect your attitude toward the future?
The 1,000-year Question, by Stanley J. Grenz (1993).

Bring sugar, water, and anise seeds to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy nonreactive saucepan, washing down any sugar crystals on side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water and stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, gently swirling pan, until mixture is a golden caramel. Reduce heat to low and carefully stir in vinegar (mixture will steam vigorously and caramel will harden). Stir until caramel is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp knife, then slice oranges crosswise. Serve orange slices drizzled with warm sauce.
