Take the time to watch the whole thing. Straight Talk, for the first time!
A Sane Man Speaks on Ebola:
"If West Africa is a gas can that was waiting for a match,
the rest of Central Africa is a gasoline tanker waiting for a match,
and nobody anywhere has a Plan B for what happens
if this gets out further…."
This is Michael Osterholm, Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), originally aired on C-SPAN.
Finally, straight talk! Contrary to the emanations of the media, the American people have not been "panicking" about Ebola. Most of us have not been to West Africa nor do we know anyone who has. But we do recognize that it is a hell of a nasty virus, and in Africa, a very large percentage of the people who get it — die in a nasty way.
We want to believe that our government grasps the worst potentials of this disease, and is truthful and straightforward with the information they give us, and knows what they are talking about, and knows what they don't know. And is just not trying, once again to cover their own behinds and avoid any blame for mistakes. That really isn't asking too much. We are quite as much adults, if not more so, that the elites in the nation's capitol.

The unfolding epidemic of Ebola in West Africa has killed more than 4,400 people so far. Everything in Liberia was needed weeks ago, and the newly to be built Ebola treatment centers are very tardy.
Before the outbreak, Liberia's only lab capable of testing blood for highly infectious diseases was the Liberian Institute on Biomedical Research. It was a bat-infested facility, a compound of World War II-era buildings that could only process 40 blood specimens a day, with electricity that worked only intermittently. The U.S. has sent in workers to rewire the building, fix the plumbing, install Internet access and update testing equipment. The lab can now process 70 specimens a day and are hoping to hit 100 soon.
The military is building the Ebola center in Bomi County, which has two doctors for 89,000 people. The Liberia Government Hospital, next to the Ebola site hasn't had a working X-ray machine for two years. At the Tubmanburg Ebola site, the U.S. military has gone with tents instead of roofed structures to save time, and avoided laying foundations when possible. The first unit is expected to open in early November, The staff workers have had about two weeks of .intensive training. Soldiers will soon have floodlights to work around-the-clock shifts. They are essentially creating a health system from the ground up, on extreme deadlines.
On top of building treatment centers, they must build at least temporary housing and basic services for 4,000 military. Our federal government may be paralyzed by bureaucracy and political correctness, but the military is trained to pick up and go where they are ordered to go and complete the tasks assigned.
If everything goes smoothly, all will be well, but there's a lot of room there for human error. And there will be errors. The insistence on claiming that Ebola is not airborne is troubling. Saliva and nasal secretions are bodily fluids. Aerosols are created by sneezing and coughing. The droplets that are really, really fine particles can, according to Dr. Jane Orient, director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, can infect you with one to ten particles. They can go through your mask, around your mask, down into your lungs. Theoretically, she said, it certainly is an aerosol. We cannot rule it out.
Obama's stubborn insistence on no travel ban is more perplexing, as is the claim that he wants to bring infected patients from Africa here for treatment, but our troops can be treated in Liberia, should they become infected. The situation in Liberia has improved somewhat, there aren't dead bodies lying around in the streets any more. Out in the villages, who knows.

Judicial Watch, the public watchdog group, says that the president is "actively formulating plans" to admit Ebola-infected non-citizens to the United States just to be treated. "Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the U.S. for treatment within the first days of diagnosis.
President Obama issued an executive order to call up National Guard and Reserve troops to aid in halting the spread of Ebola in west Africa for Operation United Assistance.
About 500 military personnel in Liberia have erected a 25-bed hospital, and are living in local hotels as they build accommodations for the 4,000 troops on the way.
Deployed troops have received about four hours of training in protocols for protection from Ebola. They will not be expected to come into contact with any Ebola patients, so haz-mat suits are not considered necessary. A team of two from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRID)can train as many as 50 personnel over that four-hour time frame. All training is tiered to the level of risk each person may encounter.
If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, according to the commander of Operation United Assistance, Major General Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Africa.
"The risk of infection is relatively low," he said."As long as you exercise basic sanitation and cleanliness sort of protocols using the chlorine wash on your hands and your feet, get your temperature taken, limiting the exposure — no handshaking, those short of protocols , I think the risk is relatively low," explained the general.
Seems to me there's a remarkable lot of "but what if" hanging around in those bits of information. But there you are.
Filed under: Africa, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Election 2014, Health Care, Immigration, Military, National Security, News, The United States | Tags: Samaritan's Purse, Stagecraft and Politics, The Weekly Address
President Obama's weekly address was meant to be a calming message about the threat of Ebola. Didn't work. Mr. Obama seems to think we are in a state of panic about Ebola, and think we are in the midst of an epidemic. We're not. We are worried because our elected officials, including our president, and appointed officials can't seem to talk straight about the disease. Reminding us that "our public health experts point out, every year thousands of Americans die from the flu," is not particularly helpful. Thousands of Africans die from Malaria because they are not allowed to spray their huts with DDT. That's not helpful either. It has no bearing on this particular disease.
"Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch. It's not transmitted through the air like the flu. You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus." Well, no, it's not difficult to catch. We have two nurses who have contracted it while they believed they were following the proper protocols. The hospital just hadn't figured them out. It is transmitted through the air. Sneezing or coughing transmit bodily fluids in very tiny droplets that can remain in the air. It can be transmitted through sweat left on airplane armrests, lavatory faucets or bus seats.
That was Obama's second point. "Third," he said, "we know how to fight this disease. We know the protocols."Well, no. We're learning all the time. 21 days may not be a long enough isolation period. Temperature checks at the airport are probably useless. Teaching people about the protocols may not be enough to overcome natural human carelessness. U.S standards for protecting healthcare workers from Ebola are weaker than those widely used in West Africa, according to the vice president of the aid group Samaritan's Purse.
When Samaritan's Purse health workers treat patients in Liberia, they wear two pairs of gloves and spray themselves with disinfectant twice before leaving the isolation ward. They have a three-foot "no touch" policy and hold safety meetings every day.
In U.S. hospitals — such as Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, which has had three cases of Ebola — workers don't have to hose down their gear and are told it's OK for gloves to expose their wrists.
"If you slip, and you touch your skin on the wrist, you're going to get Ebola," said Isaacs, who has worked on-the-ground disaster relief in countries like Haiti, the Philippines and Bosnia. "Can we trust CDC? They said they were going to stop it in its tracks, but I don't know."
Does that sound like Ebola is "actually a difficult disease to catch?" Dr. Tom Frieden, the director of the CDC, has said "any hospital with an intensive care unit" can stop the disease from spreading. The CDC still does not know how the two nurses became infected. Frieden seems torn between trying to pacify politicians and pacifying the people. He must be the source for Obama's confusion.
The Nurses union, National Nurses United, has been fiercely critical of the hospital this week, saying that the disease spread because of poor training and incompetent management. One nurse said she watched people at her hospital violate basic principles of nursing and medical care. Potentially exposed nurses would go into other patients rooms without disinfectants. All nurses should have been constantly monitored for 21 days because of exposure to Duncan.
President Obama's Weekly Address is here. What is clear is that he takes as gospel the information he is given, and does not do any further inquiry on his own. Dr. Frieden is not keeping up with the toilers in the fields of Ebola Central. The next post that pops up after the one about Samaritan's Purse is from the CDC: "Airborne Ebola possible but unlikely." Perhaps I misunderstand the meaning of airborne contagion. If it is not sneezes and coughs — what is airborne?
President Obama is so concerned that he spent only five hours on the golf course today, and held a nighttime Ebola meeting, the second in the last few days. His new appointee as Ebola Response Coordinator, Ron Klain, didn't attend either meeting. Neither did the Ebola Czar, Dr. Nicole Lurie, who remains invisible.
The meeting included members of his national security and public health teams to update him on the response to the domestic Ebola cases. Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Kent Sepkowitz called the selection of Ron Klain as "stagecraft and politics." He said it was disappointing that this was becoming, not a public health issue, but an optics "how are we going to look?' issue, and 'what's it going to mean to the Senate races? issue." Dr. Sepkowitz is, at least, clear on the priorities.

Late on Fridays, when everyone is on the way home, getting ready for the weekend and not paying attention to the news is the time that the powers that be in our nation's capitol choose to allow unpleasant news to emerge.
—Friday night news: President is sending the National Guard to Ebola Central, apparently because the Military isn't stopping Ebola fast enough. The Military sent so far, have had 4 hours of training in preparation for possible exposure. The expedition to Ebola Central has a name now—"Operation United Assistance."
—DHS announced that it will be extending Temporary Protected Status to nationals from Honduras and Nicaragua for an additional 18 months and is instituting a new program to bring up to 100,000 Haitians to this country. The program will allow the new immigrants to apply for work permits. The "legal authority" is "family unification" for Haitians and on a case by case basis for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."
—Judicial Watch says that Obama plans to transfer Ebola-Infected foreigners to U.S. for treatment. This is one of those they have information from insiders, but no confirmation, and certainly no official confirmation.
—The World Health Organization reported a rash of cases of Ebola in Guinea on March 25th, the first ever seen in west Africa. At that time there were 86 suspected cases and reports of suspected cases in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The death toll was 60. Today it has claimed more victims than all previous outbreaks. The current death toll is 4,493, and the WHO fears that it could see 5,000 to 10,000 new cases a week.
—A seventh child has died from Enterovirus D68. So far we have only one death from Ebola. Unlike Ebola, CDC is not publicly addressing the spread of EV-D68. According to the latest update at least 796 people in 46 states have been sickened with the respiratory illness that can cause paralysis in the period from mid-August through October 16. It is simply not known if the disease is being spread by the presence of tens of thousands of illegal alien children, but the virus has been found in sick people in eight Latin American countries.
—The Pentagon has released a wide-ranging plan to ensure the U.S. military can adapt to and operate in a warmer world caused by climate change, which top Defense officials say exacerbates conflicts around the world and is an immediate threat to U.S. national security. This was last week, but it is so goofy, I'm adding it to the list. There has been no warming for the last 18 full years. Over the past century it warmed about one degree, and we handled it just fine. We are now looking at the possibility of a colder world for which we are drastically unprepared as this administration keeps attempting to destroy our major power source, coal-fired power plants which provide around 40% of our electricity with nothing to replace the power.
—Pilots from Saddam Hussein's air force are training Islamic State jihadists to fly warplanes captured from the Iraqi army. Eyewitnesses accounts have seen warplanes taking off from the al Jarrah airbase and Syrian regime airbases in Aleppo and Al Raqqa province. The planes are believed to be MiG-21 and MiG-23 models and have been seen taking off and landing.
Other than that, Saturday is not all that promising either. Take two aspirin and relax with one of our Halloween movies.
Filed under: Africa, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Health Care, Immigration, National Security, Politics, Progressivism | Tags: An Epidemic of Incompetence, Ebola Response Coordinator, Ron Klain Appointment
Correction: According to the White House, Ron Klain is not to be "the Ebola Czar." He's something else, and will report to Susan Rice. I do not find that encouraging. My impression is that Obama thinks Ebola is a political problem, probably created by Republicans, and he needs someone who is good at putting out political fires. If Susan Rice is an effective National Security adviser, It has not been evident in her public commentary nor in the Obama administration foreign policy.
President Obama is selling the new position as an "Ebola Response Coordinator" to restore order and manage operations across government. This would seem to require some familiarity with epidemiology and federal assets like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mr. Klain's resume does not extend much beyond his stints as chief of staff to Vice Presidents Al Gore and Joe Biden , unless you count his job quarterbacking the Solyndra fiasco as no big deal. …
Then again, anonymous White House aides are telling the press corps that Mr. Klain's partisan skills as a fixer are a credential. This may be the best indication to date of how Mr. Obama regards the dangers of the Ebola crisis, with risks to his own approval ratings near the top. Maybe three-star commander Valerie Jarrett can next prosecute the air war against Islamic State, if she isn't already.
Mr. Klain's resume is not encouraging.. He is said to be bright, but deeply involved in the backroom politics of the Democrat Party. He has no medical or health care background, but is closely associated with the Democracy Alliance and the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
The statement of purpose for the appointment says he is "to restore order and manage operations" across government. I don't know what "order" he is to restore, but operations seem not to need managing, but learning. American hospitals are unprepared to deal with just one patient, and the results of not understanding the protocols is a multiplication of patients. Obama just doesn't get it at all.
Filed under: Africa, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Health Care, Immigration, Law, Politics, The United States | Tags: An Epidemic of Incompetence, Not Everything Is Political, The Wrong Response
The White House has appointed an Ebola Czar, apparently unaware that they already have an Ebola Czar — which is understandable since she, Nicole Lurie MD, MSPH did appear briefly on September 11 to tell the Washington Post that her office was diligently working with other federal agencies "to ensure that U.S. health care providers, hospitals, health clinics, emergency medical services…have the information they need to be prepared to identify and treat Ebola infections, in case anyone in the United States becomes sick after traveling from affected countries or from contact with infected individuals," but has otherwise been invisible.
White House petitions are exploding with people demanding a ban on travel to and from Ebola Central in West Africa. Obama's nature is to assume this is a political problem and appoint a savvy political activist to manage affairs.
I don't think the administration gets it. Most people are not alarmed about the possibility of catching Ebola. We are alarmed that the people who have been placed in charge of national preparation for a possible outbreak have not prepared. Hospitals may have received instructions, but they didn't do anything. People in the know say that none of our hospitals are prepared for Ebola patients, which would seem to be confirmed that the two nurses who contracted Ebola have been transferred to Bethesda and Emory hospitals respectively, where they have the right kind of isolation for very small numbers of patients.
Most countries slapped on a travel ban in August, and their airlines don't travel there. A ban is a ban on all travel. People have to have a passport to travel, so how do they "go underground?" The president's objection makes no sense.
We have had one Ebola victim from west Africa, who lied to get here, knew he'd been exposed. We've had one Ebola death. From that one man, we have learned that the agencies in charge have squandered their funding on questionable grants, and though preparing America for just such an exigency is their one job — it didn't get done. Yet they are attempting to blame Republicans for a non-existent lack of funding. Now we have two nurses with the virus, unknown numbers of people exposed, one exposed person isolated on a cruise ship — causing Mexico to refuse to allow the ship to dock there.
Our government has sent off 4,000 troops to deal with the epidemic in west Africa, with nobody knows what preparation, and now says they will send National Guard troops as well. The military usually takes good care of their people, but recent evidence of an inability to call terrorism by its name, inability to conduct air strikes in a significant manner, insistence that global warming is an urgent national security measure, and excessive evidence that political correctness has become a guiding principle concerning the role of women in combat and questions of gender assignment leave us questioning the effectiveness of the Pentagon.
More and more people are being quarantined, the protocols that were "guaranteed" to protect Americans are now being revised. Americans are not afraid of catching Ebola, or not yet. They are afraid that their government is lying to them and that their government is incompetent to deal with this kind of problem.
We have unaccompanied illegal alien children dispersed to every state in the Union, with evidence of Enterovirus D68 raging in the country. TB, which was no longer a problem in this country is back, and we don't know what other diseases if any.
Ron Klain, President Obama's new "Ebola Czar" is a skilled political operator. He has no background in medicine. We can assume his job is to assure the American people that the government is really, in spite of all evidence, competent. He's there to put out the fires. We'll see.

As the dust gets thicker Billy Jo tells the story of the life in Oklahoma, While the time of the dust bowl. The genre of OUT OF THE DUST is realistic fiction, made to sound very real by Karen Hesse. Billy Jo her mother and her father all live in a small shack on a farm. Because of the dust the crops were not growing well, they had also not had a heavy rain in over a year. Billy Jo loved the piano and she always played it but after a terrible accident that left her hands and her mother totally burned up and sore she thought that she could never play again.
I think that this is a good book for young adults because they might be able to connect in some ways. I personally loved the book and had a really hard time putting it down. I think the reason I liked it so much was that it was something that could really happen. I also liked this book a lot because she made you feel like you were right there watching the story. The Plot of the book was announced really well and the characters descriptions were made very clear and easy to understand.
The plot of this book is very good. Because they start out by telling us were the book takes place and who the characters in the story are. They made the book very understandable and readable. The story was telling us about what a 14-year old Girls named Billy JO's life in the years of a drought in Oklahoma. She was saying her parents did not really want her because they wanted a son. While towards the middle of the book the mother of Billy Jo gets pregnant and is going to have a baby boy. But then an accident burns her whole body while she is pregnant.
The characters in the book are very descriptive. The main character in the book Billy Jo is described as a tall not so pretty girl with dirty blonde hair. Very dirty skin from the water she bathes in. The mother is tall skinny and when she is pregnant she is described as a normal women only weighing in at 110lbs. The father has some muscles but not many mostly he is skin and bones with also very dirty skin. The other people in the book don't really have descriptions except for one boy not giving a name, he is decried as a short boy with freckles and blonde hair they say he has blue eyes and kind of a pudgy face.
This book is about A girl in Oklahoma that is having a hard time living. The people that live there are desperately wanting rain that they have not had for over three years. It is so hard to live because the farms will not grow and the food and water is saturated in dust.
I think I personally connected with this book when Billy JO's mother passed away because just last year my father passed away. In addition, when her father got a girlfriend and how she did not like her at first, I was not comfortable with my stepfather at first either. Therefore, I kind of know what Billy JO fells like.
I would recommend this book to any young adult or adult that like reading realistic fiction. If you would like to know how the dust ends up and how Billy JO's mom goes read this book and be surprised.
Billie Jo's poems span a period of years filled with difficult experiences: poverty, unemployment, her mother's death in an accident, her own maiming in the same accident, her trouble communicating with her father. Her life is certainly not easy, her path almost never smooth. Yet, the poems radiate such a hope, even a joy at times, that the book never becomes depressing.
I think some of the images of this book will stick with me for a long time -- the family chewing their dust-laden milk, her mother's tent of pain, her father's smile at the dance, Billie Jo's first concert after recovering from her burns. Billie Jo is a survivor whose story is both thought-provoking and uplifting.

The Pacific Symphony Presents JULY 4 WITH BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY
Get ready to shake, rattle and roll and celebrate "July 4 with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," as Pacific Symphony kicks off its Summer Festival 2014, presented by Mercedes-Benz. Traditionally the best-attended concert of the year, the Symphony's annual July 4 extravaganza honors American heroes and includes a moving fireworks finale orchestrated to patriotic classics. At the center of this year's holiday concert are the cool cats of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (BBVD), seven original and two new members of the ensemble that initiated the swing revival of the 1990s with their recreations of Cab Calloway and the Big Band style. The group rocketed to its first phase of stardom when the hits "You Me & the Bottle Make Three (Tonight)" and "Go Daddy-O" were featured in the 1996 film, "Swingers," starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. Taking the stage with the full symphony orchestra led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, BBVD promises to have the audience swinging in the aisles and grooving to the beats with high-energy songs like "Mr. Pinstripe Suite," "I Wanna Be Like You" and music from their newest album, "Rattle Them Bones."
"The eight-piece outfit conjured up the ghosts of old-time gin joints, down the stairs Speakeasies and hot Harlem night clubs where the air was filled with music and the dance floor never got cold." - The Charleston Gazette
Dust off those zoot suits or Fourth-of-July gear and head to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine on Friday, July 4, at 8 p.m. for a night of swingin' holiday fun. Tickets range from $25 (lawn seating) to $105 (orchestra seating); children under 14 are half price in most sections with the purchase of an adult ticket. Guests are welcome to picnic on the grounds of the amphitheater starting at 6 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
"There's nothing like the fun, excitement and great music of a Fourth-of-July celebration with Pacific Symphony in our outdoor home at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater," says Maestro Kaufman. "It's a family atmosphere where everyone shares in the spirit of America. This coming Fourth, the audience will be on their feet, dancing and singing along to the swingin' sounds of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. And with the amazing fireworks finale, there'll be no doubt that it's the birthday of the U.S.A.!"
The Symphony's Independence Day celebration opens with orchestral music commemorating the American hero before diving into the swing era with BBVD. "Americans love their heroes, whether they are real or fictional," says Kaufman. "On the first half of this year's July 4th concert, we are shining the spotlight on several of these iconic American heroes, including General George Patton, the men who fought the battle of Midway during WWII, the dignified lawyer Atticus Finch from 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' and the courageous astronauts whose story was told in 'The Right Stuff.' We'll also present John Williams' moving score from 'Saving Private Ryan,' as well as the annual tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces."

Who is racing DAKAR 2013?

I thought Simon Pavey's son, Llewelyn, had been accepted to race the 2013 Dakar, but
Upon release of the 2013 Dakar acceptance letters, Llewelyn was one of the unlucky few to be refused a place in the next edition of the race. . . . Left with nothing to aim for until next year Llewelyn quickly began to look for another event to compete in that would gain him further experience and as the Taklimakin Rally is one of a series of Dakar Challenge events it became a target of his attention.
Story on Llewelyn riding the Taklimakin Rally here
edit: I noticed that the winner of the Taklimakan Rally gets to race the Dakar, though the article I saw didn't specify whether it was the 2013 or 2014 edition.
I suppose that a handful of those initially turned down might yet be offered a spot as they become available (as with those in Jenny's situation deciding to not race, or as a rider is lost to tragedy, like with Kemal). So maybe Llewelyn will yet ride the 2013 Dakar.

Schizophrenia in children younger than 15 years of age
is rare. Sometimes
anxiety, or other conditions are confused with
childhood schizophrenia.
In general, the condition develops
slowly. The child usually starts by having problems in school, at home, and in
social situations. Children with schizophrenia often hear voices and other
noises that other people do not hear (auditory
hallucinations). They also firmly believe something is
true even when there is proof that it is false (delusion). They
also may:
Childhood schizophrenia does not appear to be related to
intelligence since children with schizophrenia have average intelligence. They
usually do not have any other physical illnesses.
Treatment for
childhood schizophrenia includes medicine, counseling, and family

Bruce Arians knows what he's getting into when it comes to the quarterback position for the Arizona Cardinals. Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley don't compare with former quarterbacks he has worked with. (Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck) He stated in his news conference that he's searching for a quarterback with "True Grit." Does Kevin Kolb have the grit Arians desires? When given the starting job of the Philadelphia Eagles, Kolb was already slated as a leader. Former teammate Winston Justice stated "Kolb has had the look of a leader from the moment he joined the Eagles. There's just an air about the guy Justice said per ESPN.com.… Read more

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/27/12
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked during his Tuesday press conference to talk about the performance of wide receiver Mike Wallace on Sunday and if his role will change moving forward. "You know, Mike was frustrated on Sunday and rightfully so," said Tomlin. "He is not producing in the manner he would like to or we would like him to. It's a function of a lot of things. He is going to be committed to continuing to work and we are committed to that as well." Tomlin was then asked if he has seen anything less than 100% effort from his receiver and he said, "no".

MiniCards | Design Unique Mini Business Cards Online
1 Recommendation
jennibu1's recommendation
Every time I'm at a craft show, there are always a few sellers giving away Moo MiniCards (which are mini business cards that display photos of your work). There's something about the compact size and design that draws a lot of attention. What's more, you can use up to 100 full color photos on your mini calling-cards, and these photos can be pulled right from your Etsy shop. Moo is offering a special deal just for Etsians for the next two weeks: Spend $30 (£15/â¬22.50) on Moo.com and get free shipping on your order. Use the code: "etsyjune." This promotion ends on July 13, 2009.

We are continually adding new books to our church library. Be sure to
check them out! Below are some
recent additions that you might enjoy reading.
Growing up, Nabeel Qureshi never thought he would consider
turning from his family's deeply held beliefs in Islam. It was his whole world, his identity. Yet, as he grew
into a young man earnestly seeking for God to speak into his life, he was surprised by what he found. What he found
was a growing question about the divinity of Jesus, which ultimately lead to his conversion to Christianity. In Seeking
Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel shares the powerful story of his journey from faith in Allah to faith in Jesus
Christ. Along the way, he gives valuable insight into Islam, sharing cultural, intellectual and theological barriers
that often stand in the way of Muslims accepting Jesus. However, despite his objections to Christianity, it was the
friendship of Christians, the historical facts of the life of Jesus, and divine revelation that convinced Nabeel of the truth
of the Gospel. Nebeel's testimony will deepen your understanding of American Muslims and draw you closer to Jesus
as you consider the amazing ways He works today.

I couldn't agree more about CR. I've done the same thing. Honda's are great cars. They have a great track record. When a magazine recommends a Focus and Elantra and not a Civic it's time to unsubscribe. As for American vs. Foreign, I'm all American. When was the last time someone bought a Flat Screen TV that was made in the U.S.? What's more American, a Camaro made in Canada or a Civic made in America? Point is, we still have Freedom of choice.
The point I'm trying to make is that in my opinion CR is not as unbiased as people think, whether they're bashing Honda's, Fords or whatever. At the end of 5-10 years we'll see who's left standing, the Civic or the Focus and who has the better reliability and resell value. By the way, check out the current Car magazines, they're not as fond of the Focus as they used to be. Good Luck!

AUSTIN (February 13, 2013)--The entire collection of nearly 100 love letters exchanged by Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson during their 2½-month courtship in 1934 will be made available to the public for the first time beginning on Valentine's Day.
The letters at the LBJ Presidential Library at the University of Texas show an impatient Johnson, then a 26-year-old congressional aide, was eager to marry Claudia Alta Taylor, 21.
Taylor, who was known as "Bird," was a recent graduate of the university, and the future president had asked her to marry him a day after they met in September 1934.
She wrote back that she loved him but "don't know how everlastingly."
They tied the knot 10 weeks later in San Antonio and were married for 39 years.
LBJ died 1973, and Lady Bird died in 2007.

Have you ridden one? I raced and trailrode one for years,they are as smooth as could be desired.
And fast enough.
KTM sells 7 different thickness base gaskets to tune the engine for what you want to do with it. I dont know if those are still available but I detuned my 495 a little with thicker base gaskets.
I also had a 77.5 250 GP model for years,flattracked it,trail rode it,MX'd it,then scrambles raced it,then rode some enduros with the same bike.
It never broke and it won some races.

Full name Keith Ross Miller
Born November 28, 1919, Sunshine, Melbourne, Victoria
Died October 11, 2004, Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne, Victoria (aged 84 years 318 days)
Major teams Australia, New South Wales, Nottinghamshire, Victoria
Nickname Nugget
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Right-arm fast
In a nutshell Flamboyant, insouciant and hugely gifted, Keith Miller was Australia's finest allrounder - and among the world's best - able to turn a match with bat or ball, and as dashing off the field as he was on it. More
|Test debut
|New Zealand v Australia at Wellington, Mar 29-30, 1946 scorecard
|Last Test
|Pakistan v Australia at Karachi, Oct 11-17, 1956 scorecard
|Test statistics
|First-class span
|1937/38 - 1959
Keith Miller enlivened the post-war years with his brilliant all-round play, able to turn a match with an attacking innings or a fiery spell of bowling. He is probably best remembered for his new-ball partnership with Ray Lindwall, but it was as a classical batsman that he first made his mark: a photograph of Miller clipping a textbook square-drive adorned the desk of the cricket-loving Australian prime minister Robert Menzies for many years.
But "Nugget" Miller was more than a cricketer: along with his English soulmate Denis Compton he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket. Miller, who was named after two pioneer Australian pilots - Keith and Ross Smith - was a fighter pilot himself in the Second World War, and after some extremely close shaves was well aware of the importance of life. It meant that he could occasionally look disinterested on the field: at Southend in 1948, when the "Invincible" Australians were running up the record score of 721 in a day against Essex, Miller stepped away to his first ball and was bowled, since such an unequal contest held little excitement.
This approach hardly endeared him to Don Bradman, the unyielding captain of that 1948 side who, possibly significantly, had not seen action during the war. Some mischievous hair-parting bouncers at the great man during Bradman's valedictory testimonial match at home after the tour probably didn't help either. Miller was initially ludicrously overlooked for Australia's next overseas trip - to South Africa in 1949-50 - although he did eventually go, after an injury to another player and a petition from local fans. But with Bradman by then firmly at the helm of the Australian Board, Miller never did captain Australia, although he was a born leader who impressed for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield, and would have been a better bet than Ian Johnson, who was persuaded out of retirement when Lindsay Hassett stood down. Miller did have an unusual approach to captaincy, though: he sometimes set his field by telling the other players "scatter". On another occasion, having omitted to nominate a 12th man, he found himself with 12 players on the field. He observed: "Well, one of you had better bugger off."
Miller started as a batsman, hitting 181 on his first-class debut, for Victoria against Tasmania in Melbourne in 1937-38. And he first made a mark on the international game in 1945, with a sparkling 105 in the first "Victory Test" at Lord's. Miller made his official Test debut after the war, and went on to play 55 times for Australia, scoring 2958 runs at 36.97, with seven centuries, three of them against England and four against West Indies, whose captain, John Goddard, once sighed, "Give us Keith Miller and we'd beat the world."
Bradman's strong side needed Miller more as a bowler than a batsman, and he ended up with 170 Test wickets, at the excellent average of 22.97. He was the perfect foil to the smooth, skiddy Lindwall: Miller would trundle in off a shortish run, but could send down a thunderbolt himself if he felt like it. Or a legspinner. Or a yorker. Or a bouncer, an overdose of which led to his being booed during the 1948 Trent Bridge Test: Miller simply sat down until the barracking had subsided. What few people realised was that he had trouble with his back throughout that tour - he often pressed an errant disc back into place at the base of his spine before somehow sending down another screamer.
Despite this Miller remained a fearsome proposition as a bowler, grinning down the pitch at the discomfited batsman, and returning to his mark, flicking back his hair, which was on the long side for that short-back-and-sides era. In 1956, on his third and final tour of England, Miller was rising 37 and hoping not to do much bowling. But his pal Lindwall pulled out of the second Test at Lord's, and his replacement Pat Crawford broke down in his fifth over. Miller shouldered the burden, bowling 34.1 overs in the first innings and 36 in the second, and took five wickets both times to set up Australia's 181-run victory, their only one of that Jim Laker-dominated series. Miller had scored 109 in the 1953 Lord's Test, and remains one of only three players - Garry Sobers and Vinoo Mankad are the others - to have his name on both the batting and bowling honours boards in the visitors' dressing room there.
After his retirement Miller remained in the public eye. The social contacts he'd built up - there were unsubstantiated rumours of an affair with Princess Margaret - made him a living as a journalist and columnist, but he was happiest at the cricket or at the races. Late in life he struck up a friendship with Sir Paul Getty, and the two of them would chat unselfconsciously in the Getty box at Lord's, or at the beautiful Wormsley ground, where the cricket on display - serious but spiced with grins and gins - was exactly the type Miller would have loved to play.
Neville Cardus dubbed Keith Miller "the Australian in excelsis", a notion to which the noted Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge heartily subscribed: "By God he was right." He died in October 2004 after being in poor health for some time.

July 5, 2015
GARDNERVILLE (AP) - Entrepreneur and former actor Max Baer Junior is bringing his plans for a casino to north Douglas County - this time without the flaming oil derrick that was part of a 2003 Carson City proposal.
Baer is the man who played Jethro in the 1960s sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies."
His proposed casino, Jethro Bodine's Beverly Hillbillies Mansion and Casino, would be located near U.S. 395 on about 23 acre, opposite Carson Valley Plaza.
The first phase of Baer's project includes a casino, showroom, cinema complex, a five-story, 240-room hotel, arcade and bar.
Variances will be required for a proposed 200-foot oil derrick - without flames. A state gambling license also is required.
This isn't the first time Baer has tried to build his casino. Other proposed locations included Stateline, Reno and Carson City.

AboutAfter using the residency to reflect on recent work and in turn, possible future works, Emily Speed will give a short talk that introduces some of her current interests and ideas around scale models, men, hubris, cake and verisimilitude in Mussolini's EUR area of Rome. There will be a small fold-out publication to accompany the talk as well as an architectural cake, to be eaten during the evening. Emily Speed is interested in the relationship between people and buildings. Often working with simple medium such as wood, cardboard and paper, Emily explores our phenomenological experience of building materials and architecture. Emily Speed (based in Frodsham, Cheshire) is currently on residency at Standpoint Gallery, as part of Standpoint Futures Residencies 2014. Taking place at Standpoint Gallery, London, Standpoint Futures Residencies are for emerging/mid career artists, designed to be flexible and responsive to the project, needs and desired outcomes of individual participants.

Your first link says that Caffeine is used to control appetite (appetite suppressant), which is supporting what I said not what you said.
Fat oxidation (or 'beta oxidation') is the body's way of breaking down these large molecules into smaller molecules that it can use for energy.
- That is a good thing, so thanks for posting study information which tells us this. (Again supporting what I said about caffeine increasing metabolism)
Not sure where your links are that prove me wrong but thanks for posting links which say exactly what I was saying, if you find a study that suggest otherwise please revert back to the links you just posted as a rebuttal.. lol.
Not sure where you get this idea I was trying to prove you wrong. Maybe a few to many coffees have made you over sensitive.
My point is the amounts - if you are right, which you may well be, would not be enough to warrant such large weight loss seen in this study.

"It is time for the Egyptian government to know it is the people's right to know and participate," the groups said.
They said it is people's right to know how much is being spent to bolster the security forces, for example, and the specifics of what is being spent on education and healthcare.
Opposition activist Ali Soliman, a member of one of the opposition groups involved in the lawsuit, said he does not trust the Shura Council to actively debate the budget since it is packed with Brotherhood lawmakers and allies of the president.
"It's as if the Muslim Brotherhood is presenting the budget to themselves," he told The Associated Press.
Some of the groups also are questioning the legality of the Shura Council to act as a legislature. The country's high court is set to rule on its constitutionality next month. The body was elected under the same laws that led to the dissolution of the law-making lower house of parliament last year.
"Any talk that questions the legitimacy of this body is rejected," Brotherhood Shura Council member Mohammed Abdel-Maguid said. "People went out and voted in free elections and elected us."
Abdel-Maguid also is head of the body's economic committee. He told the AP that lawmakers will make a website for citizens to submit suggestions about the budget, which he said they intend to make public. He did not give a timeframe.
He said that almost a quarter of the government's spending in the coming fiscal year will be on subsidies. Typically, Egypt has spent around a third of its national budget on subsidies.
Egypt's largest investment bank, EFG-Hermes, said in a report released this week that the draft budget shows an "unrealistic timeline for reforms" and said that the draft budget was "overly optimistic."
According to the report, the proposed budget projects tax revenues to increase by some $13 billion. A significant portion of expenditures will be spent on wages, which are expected to be $4 billion more than the current year's budget.

It looks to me that the 3 x 4.5cm framing would only be available with 127 film.
I bet that that centre film gate comes out.
If so, there should be both that gate and adapters for the feed and takeup sides to permit you to switch between 127 and 120 film.

Hello and welcome to my gallery. Here you can purchase prints from the book STILL OPEN - The guide to traditional London shops. I have lived in London for 20 years and a couple of years back spent 6 months photographing the cities old and disappearing shops for the book. All photographs were shot on 35mm colour negative film (in the days before digital went mainstream) and I think this adds a certain quality to the images. Quite a few of these places no longer exist and I'd like to think I have made a little time capsule of what these little parts of London once were. A number of these photographs have recently been re-scanned at high resolution for an exhibition at London's South Bank Centre as part of The Festival Of Britain 60th...

Aids and Poverty: Doctors in Africa Appear to Have Forgotten That Many of the Sick They Encounter Have Always Satisfied the Bangui Definition of Aids. (Medical/Aids)
Mhlongo, Sam, New African
That tuberculosis (TB) is a disease largely associated with destitution and poverty is beyond dispute. Its prevalence diminishes as social and economic conditions improve.
Sub-standard housing, shacks and overcrowding favour the risk of massive infection or re-infection. Eighty per cent of South Africa can still be described in this way today since the inequalities of the imperialist and apartheid eras still define the country.
When one looks at the history of South Africa, it is difficult, if not impossible, not to conclude that the current debate on HIV/Aids is dominated by medicalisation of diseases of poverty. Doctors and most other health professionals find it difficult, if not impossible, to deal with health-related issues without medicalising them.
The HIV/Aids orthodoxy claims with little substantiation that what we are seeing in Africa since 1983 is new. Regrettably, insidiously and tragically, this helps all the guilty to forget the history of apartheid and three centuries of colonial conquest and imperialism. I shall confine myself to South Africa.
In a recent polemical review, Prof Peter Duesberg and Dr David Rasnick (both members of the Mbeki Aids Panel) returned to the now discarded drug hypothesis -- that the use of recreational drugs is the common denominator of Aids in America and Europe.
They reminded us that before the popularisation of the virus -- HIV/Aids hypothesis -- many American and some European investigators had postulated that the epidemic was a collection of drug and lifestyle diseases.
The correlation between immunodeficieney and poverty, malnutrition, poor sanitation, urban squalor and rural and urban unemployment cannot be denied. We have now had almost 20 years of HIV/Aids, and because of the almost exclusive biomedical approach, other questions are not being asked as frequently as they should.
Doctors in Africa appear to have forgotten that many of the sick they encounter have always satisfied the Bangui definition of AIDS (ie, chronic cough, diarrhoea, fever, TB and weight loss) even long before HIV.
Indeed undergraduate medical students and qualified health professionals read from their recommended manuals that immunodeficieney may be caused by malnutrition.
In Africa, the problem may even be worse than malnutrition -- ie, "chill penury" (destitution and poverty). Nutritionally Acquired Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (NAIDS) is well recognised in many medical textbooks.
The syndrome includes several other known conditions, which lead to immunodeficiency. It is known that starving and malnourished children mostly exposed to poor environmental conditions are particularly susceptible to respiratory and gastro intestinal infections and septicaemia.
With regard to the medical history of South Africa long before Luc Montagnier's HIV/Aids 'discovery", Prof John Reid of the Durban Medical School noted that 50% of black children in rural areas of South Africa died before the age of five. …
