Fact v. Fiction
Syria's 'Sex Jihad'- by Vivian Salama
A Tunisian official says young women are returning home pregnant after serving as concubines to Syrian jihadis. Vivian Salama investigates the controversial claim.
Syrian activists say there are virtually no grounds for claims that foreign women are traveling to their country to participate in a so-called "sex jihad," following comments by a Tunisian official that women were returning home from Syria pregnant.
Tunisia's Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou remarked in an address to the National Constituent Assembly last week that women were traveling to Syria "in the name of sexual jihad," adding that they are allegedly "swapped between 20, 30 and 100 rebels, and they come back bearing the fruit" of those contacts.

Below is the poem entitled Slow Dance which was written by poet
HB. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Bilal HB
Slow dance with me, love.
As my hand takes your hand,
And we raise them to the sky above.
Her skin, warm like sand,
Covering the beaches of paradise.
Her smile, like pearls.
The glisten in her eyes
As she twirls.
Her movement is gentle like the clouds,
As our love begins to enshroud.
We are isolated,
This treasure, this temporary pleasure,
Is a realm I never want to let go,
But the end of the dance is inevitable,
As we all return to the status quo.
Slow dance with me,
So I can feel the fiery passion...
... At least, temporarily.

In echoes of the great movie "Catch me if you can" starring Leonardo DiCaprio (seen below at the UK premier in 2003), a British 17-year-old has been caught trying to convince officials that he was setting up an airline.
Read the full story here from UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
This brings to mind another teenager, Martin Halstead, who tried to set up an airline in the UK flying on some regional routes a couple of years back. I wrote this blog about Martin after meeting him at the Routes event in 2005.
Unfortunately his venture – Alpha One Airlines – bit the dust.
Anybody got any other stories about teenage airline entrepreneurs?

One More Cool, Rainy DayMay 16th, 2014 at 5:46 am by Pamela Gardner under Colts Forecast, Weather
A line of showers and heavy rain is moving northeast through central Indiana. The center of low pressure is right over the Ohio Valley and will continue to spin up more showers all day and into tonight. Plus it will stay cloudy and cool aside from the rain.
Temperatures are chilly in the 40s for most, with a few places in the upper 30s! Today's highs will be similar to yesterday's highs in the low to mid 50s. Tonight's lows dip into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
A few sprinkles linger for Saturday morning, but slowly we will clear out and dry out in the afternoon. Highs reach the lower 60s. Sunday is looking dry, sunny and warmer with highs in the upper 70s. Our extended forecast finally looks more seasonable as temps return to the 70s and 80s.
Weekend Events:
Lemonade Day is Saturday in Indianapolis (and across the country)! Lemonade stands will be out all around the city. WISH-TV is a proud sponsor of this event. A few sprinkles are possible early in the day. Then we clear out, dry off and warm up into the lower 60s.
The IMS is buzzing for a big weekend! Fast Friday is iffy with scattered showers around all day and cool temps in the mid 50s. Saturday's qualifications look good to go with clearing skies and highs around 60º. Pole Day on Sunday is great with highs in the upper 60s and mostly sunny.

NASDAQ-listed low-cost carrier Allegiant Air has closed the sale and leaseback of a third Boeing 757-200 with Sunrise Asset Management. The aircraft was purchased from AerCap and was previously operated by Thomson Airways.
The 1994 vintage aircraft (MSN 27236) was delivered earlier this week to Allegiant and is scheduled to enter into service next month. It is powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211 engines.
The sale follows on the heels of another former Thomson Airways 757-200 (MSN 27235), which Sunrise acquired from AerCap last month. This aircraft is still parked and waiting to begin flights for Allegiant, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online database.
Allegiant counts one other 757-200 in its fleet - a 1992-built variant with winglets - which Sunrise again bought from AerCap in 2011.
The remaining 56 active aircraft in Allegiant's portfolio comprise Boeing MD-80 aircraft, according to Ascend. The airline, which owns all its aircraft, has an additional 10 MD-80s in storage.

Charleston Animal Society will have animals available for adoption on King Street in downtown Charleston from Thursday, Feb. 14 – Sunday, Feb. 17 during the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE). The Old Millennium Building at 372 King St. will serve as its "home base" throughout SEWE. M Dumas and Sons will also be hosting dogs from the Charleston Animal Society in the window of their store at 294 King St.
Thanks to the generosity of NAI Avant Commercial Real Estate and Werner Real Estate Holdings, dogs and cats will be available for adoption at the Old Millennium Building on the corner of King and Calhoun Streets. Charleston Animal Society will also be selling items with the organization's logo and will feature local original art to benefit the shelter's programs.
For the fourth consecutive year, M Dumas and Sons is graciously providing use of its storefront at the corner of King and Society streets to display dogs for adoption. In addition to helping dogs find new homes, M Dumas and Sons has offered to match all donations up to $1,000 made to Charleston Animal Society during the adoption event.
Volunteers with Charleston Animal Society will also be walking "Society Dogs" from the shelter during SEWE. These dogs will be available for adoption through adoption counselors based at 372 King St.
Founded 138 years ago in the heart of downtown Charleston, the mission of Charleston Animal Society is to prevent cruelty to animals by finding homes for homeless animals, containing outbreaks of rabies and other deadly diseases, reuniting lost pets with their families, fighting hunger when food is unaffordable, teaching children to be kind to animals and each other, and saving the lives of abused, abandoned and unwanted animals.

Church on Strayer plans Noel ProjectWritten by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Every year since 1980, the Church on Strayer (and previously as the Cathedral of Praise) has given away Christmas gifts, winter clothes, food and a new bicycle to hundreds of Toledo families.
More than 10,000 families have been helped since the project began 33 years ago, and this year's event, set for 10 a.m. Dec. 21 at the SeaGate Convention Centre, is once again a labor of love for the Rev. Tony Scott, the church's senior pastor, who knows how much a new bike means to a child.
"When I was a boy growing up my dad was an alcoholic. There were five children in the family. He didn't work a lot and I wore hand-me-downs," Scott said. "I never got a new bicycle. Some Christmases I got just one toy. I had junk. I didn't have a new bicycle until I was grown and was able to buy one."
Scott said he wants to help as many underprivileged boys and girls as possible to know the true joy of Christmas, not just with toys and bikes but also with a spiritual understanding of what Christmas is all about.
"We have a service there," he said of the Noel Project. "We don't just give away toys. We pray with people to receive Christ. We continue to pray for them and we ask them to attend church somewhere. It doesn't have to be our church. We are building the kingdom, doing what Jesus said — to love the widows and love the orphans and show the heart of God through giving."
For the past three years, The Church on Strayer has partnered with the United Way of Greater Toledo, which registers and screens the applicants.
"We partner with The Church on Strayer with the Noel Project because they are doing a great work," said Michelle Davis, executive director of the United Way's Community Outreach Services. "Also, because of the work we do with The Salvation Army, we are able to help prevent duplicate assistance to ensure every family gets the assistance they need."
Scott said between 450 and 500 families will receive Noel Project gifts this year, with each family getting new toys for children 12 and younger; food boxes containing the fixings for a Christmas dinner including a turkey; winter coats, hats and gloves for the children; and one shiny new bicycle per family. He said the demand has continued to grow.
"There's no question that the need is great this year," Scott said. "When people talk about the improving economy, I think they forget the fact that millions of Americans are out of work. The government's unemployment reporting … does not count the people who have stopped looking for work.
"And when you look at people who are what I call the working poor, the men and women who are working every day trying to just pay their bills, these are the people who are hurting," he said.
Scott pointed out that the Church on Strayer ministers to those in need year-round, not just at Christmas.
"We are actively engaged in the community 52 weeks a year helping families … doing what we can to help," he said. "In the last three years it has strained our budget."
He said his church funded the Noel Project on its own until 2010, but now relies on support from others.
"It has grown so large; the budget is over $50,000. And that's not in our budget. So yes, we depend on donations. WLMB-TV has helped this year. Huntington Bank is collecting toys at 22 branches. Businesses and individuals are chipping in whatever they can."
Families looking for help from the Noel Project should contact the United Way of Greater Toledo at 419-248-2424. Those who wish to make tax-deductible donations can contact the Church on Strayer at (419) 866-2094 or online at www.theNoelProject.com.

Gear Review
Mittens are the best
I really love these gloves. I have had many pairs of gloves, but none keep me warm. I just switched over from gloves to these mitts, and I will be sticking with mitts from now on. I have very small hands (Size 4.5 ring finger). People often joke that I have child-size hands, and I bought the size 6. They are perfect.
The fleece liners are removable and very soft. The gloves aren't really bulky, either. My hands get cold very easily, so on super-cold days I wear a pair of Smartwool liners.

I am so pleased to welcome author Jenna Kay to our interview!
1. Hi Jenna! So glad to have you on Moonlight Beauty Books. Can you tell us a bit about you and your writing?
Thank you for this awesome opportunity! First of all my name is Jenna Kay Pridgen, but I go by Jenna Kay. I write YA Fiction/Christian/Speculative Fiction. My goal is to get people thinking about the real supernatural that is happening all around us. I married my high school sweetheart, Rocky, and we've been together for almost fifteen years. We have three children: Ryder 8, Wyatt 6, and Sarah Kay 4.
2. You have a book series called "The Seer Society". Can you tell us what it's about?
1 Well, when most people think about Seers, they immediately think about fortune tellers, soothsayers, etc. The Seers I write about are Biblical, though they're not mentioned much in the Holy Bible. The word Seer was replaced with Prophet. Here's a few Seers mentioned in the Bible: Samuel, Gad, Iddo, and Asaph. The best definition of a Seer I've been able to find is that they are the ones who can see into the Spirit Realm and are able to prophesy on what is seen. Other names for Seers you'll see in my books are Ra'ah, which means "to see", and Chozeh, which means "a beholder in visions". Of course the Seers I've created in the Seer Society Series can not only see into the Spiritual realm (The realm where the Spiritual Warfare is taking place) but can also fight alongside angels to protect mankind. They are chosen by God to fight the battle between good and evil. They can also have visions and dreams that come directly from God, but they can also receive them from Satan (just like us regular humans!). The Seers must learn to decipher which dreams/visions are from God, and which are from the latter. In the book, The Seer Society is an actual place for Seers to be with other Seers and to perfect their gifts. It's mentioned more in the second book of the series, Broken.
3. How was the first book of the series born and why was it called "Clarity"?
The only way I can answer that is to say it just came to me. I'd felt like God was wanting me to do something else with my life. I prayed for a full year before he answered my prayer. In between that time I suffered a heartbreak...My daddy passed away from lung cancer on January 24th, 2009. I'm telling you the date because God answered my prayer April 24th, 2009. That was the day I started writing. I wrote Clarity a few different times. Actually, at the beginning of this process, the story took place in a totally different area and the characters were totally different. When I felt the first draft just wasn't flowing right I started completely over and got Clarity. I don't know how to explain, except to say it just fell into place and made sense. :)
4. How difficult was the process of writing this first book?
Oh, there were many times I wanted to give up, because the morning I woke up knowing God wanted me to write the only things I read was Star magazines and my checkbook. I have never been a big reader/writer, and I hated school, but when God has a plan miracles can happen—I'm living proof of that one! So yes, it has been tough because I've wandered into unknown territory, but now I feel like I'm on the right path.
5. Have you started working on the other books of the series? What can we expect from them?
Yes. Clarity is the first book in the series and I published it Feb. 2011. Broken is coming out September 1st, 2011. The third book, Masquerade, will be out Winter 2012. There will be at least five books in the series, plus a prequel. I know exactly how the series ends and I'm so freaking excited! I've got another series planned, a darker series, but its still in the works.
6. The book has a quote on the front: "What is unseen is eternal". What does it mean and why did you decide it should be on the cover?
What is unseen is eternal" comes from 2Corinthians 4:18.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
That very verse is what gave me the idea, and it totally makes sense. As Christians we believe in Heaven and Hell, so we also believe in angels and demons. What is unseen is the spiritual battle going on every second of everyday. That one verse is the reasoning behind the series.
7. What is your favorite part or excerpt of the book?
There are many, but if I have to choose one I'd pick the beginning of Chapter 11, when Clarity first sees Sam's angel wings:
When I looked up all I could see was the fluffy white feathers of Sam's wings that unfurled from his back. I was so transfixed on them that I reached out and stroked one of them, the texture so soft it was unreal.
8. What author or writer has inspired you?
There are so many, because when I started writing I also started reading every YA book I could get my hands on. YA, Christian fiction, whatever. My all time favorite is Frank E. Peretti.
9. Which are your favorite books and authors?
Too many to write! :)
10. Last but not least: Is there any comment or question you want to say to our lovely readers?
Whatever age you are, from twelve to one hundred and twelve, I believe you can get something out of my books. Like I said in the beginning, my goal is to get people thinking, especially about the unseen war happening around us. I also want everyone to know that they are never alone.
Thanks again for this awesome opportunity and God Bless!

What?! I didn't know about this.
I wonder if this'll be at all similar to the tour set. A bit odd to open with a guitar solo.
Yeah but that's not exactly any old guitar solo, it might be the most iconic one ever.
SHE'S THE WOMAN????!!!!!! That's a song from the era BEFORE the first album. It's on their '77 and live album'! HOLY SHIT!
[QUOTE=LIVEtoROCK86;440748]SHE'S THE WOMAN????!!!!!! That's a song from the era BEFORE the first album. It's on their '77 and live album'! HOLY SHIT![/QUOTE]
Don't cream your pants so fast, the song is on the new album. So, they're not doing a rare song but playing a new one as far as most fans know.
I know they opened with it on the last tour but does anyone else think that You Really Got Me is the worst show opener ever? That song doesn't get me pumped at all. Unchained should be the opener.
[QUOTE=rjturtle9;440717]What?! I didn't know about this.[/QUOTE]
Don't feel bad, it was a secret show for journalists I think
When I saw them in 07 open with You Really Got Me, I thought to myself how cool it would be if Eddie just came on stage with a spotlight on him and just started Eruption. Then the YRGM riff, then the band would kick in. So if that's what he's doing, great!!
He also stripped the Little Guitars intro from Little Guitars but yet played part of it in his solo (which is where he did Eruption). It was a bit weird. He should keep the solos with the songs when possible. That being said, I hope they put Little Guitars and Romeo Delight back in the set list!

It's not in our hearts to be mean – really! But when it comes to Anne Hathaway, we cannot ignore the burning hatred that flares up inside of us every time she flits across the screen. Take the Oscars, for example. When accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress, Hathaway began her speech with the most insincere three words: "It came true!" Yes, she said that. As if she'd been a pauper in a slum and dreamed of this day every minute of her life. AS IF she was surprised by her win and didn't practice this speech in front of the mirror every day since stepping off of the Les Mis set. There are no words to describe our dislike of this girl, so please see below at the 4 most unforgivable moments from Pretty Pretty Princess' performance at last night's Oscars:
It all started on the red carpet when Anne Hathaway acted like she actually looked good in her Prada nightgown with perky nipple-stitching. Ha ha "It's business in the front and a party in the back!", she said. No, really, she said that:

After ten days, the Boil Water Advisory in Ruidoso has been lifted. But many people are still concerned after the village was accused about lying about the purity of the water.
It all started last year on June 8, when New Mexico Environment Department officials made a visit to the Grindstone Water Treatment Plant and discovered something wasn't right.
State officials said someone put a filter in the system. Investigators said that filter gave inaccurate readings about how pure the water really was. The state said that filter was used for two weeks.
"It is very lucky that we found this condition as quickly as we did," said Tom Blaine, the Director of the New Mexico Environment Department.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 wanted to know just how dangerous the water was during that time. Blaine said this kind of falsified information is serious and in some cases can be deadly.
"There are other cases in the United States where turbidity was falsely reported and it ended up making several thousand people sick and in some fatalities in that state," said Blaine.
The village was hit with a $48,000 fine. A fine KOB found out will most likely be paid for by taxpayers.
"They are a publicly funded operation, and I assume that will be coming out of the taxpayer dollar one way or the other," said Blaine.
Which is unsettling for people like Larry Wimbrow, owner of a gun and pawn shop and resident for more than 20 years.
"You would think people that are in charge of making sure our water is fit to drink, do it correctly," said Wimbrow.
"I just want to make sure that everybody realizes and that they're assured that we had our technical staff monitoring this the whole time," said Blaine.
The village of Ruidoso can file an appeal. KOB will continue to follow the investigation and bring you the very latest as it comes to us.
We went back to the village today. Once again, no one would talk to us about the water filter. According to investigation documents, the village told the state that the filter was used as an experiment. They were hoping the filter might help them meet their water purification requirements.

BARRON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a petition under the state's sexual predator law against a Barron County man.
The petition was filed on August 30, 2010, in Barron County Circuit Court and alleges that NathanFleming (DOB 03/11/1963) is a sexually violent person and should be committed for treatment. A probable cause hearing is scheduled before The Honorable James C. Babler on September 17, 2010.
Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes relates to the control, care and treatment of sexually violent persons. Under Wisconsin law, a person may be subject to a civil commitment when the person has been convicted of a sexually violent offense, has a mental disorder, and is dangerous to others because the mental disorder makes it likely he or she will commit further acts of sexual violence. A civil commitment is defined in Wisconsin law as commitment to the custody and care of the Department of Health Services for control, care, and treatment until the person is no longer considered sexually violent.
According to the DOJ petition, in 2009 Fleming was convicted in Barron County of Substantial Battery-Intend Bodily Harm. Fleming, as a fugitive from justice, was extradited from Minnesota and initially charged with eight counts, three of which were for sexually assaulting a woman and beating her unconscious. After a jury trial in Barron County, Fleming was convicted of two counts of battery and sentenced to a total of two years and six months in prison with three years of extended supervision. Fleming was scheduled to be discharged from the Department of Corrections on September 7, 2010, but will be detained at a Department of Health Services facility to await trial on the petition.
The state's petition alleges that Fleming suffers from a mental condition that predisposes him to engage in acts of sexual violence. The petition also alleges that Fleming is dangerous as his mental disorder makes it likely that he will engage in future acts of sexual violence. A petition is only an allegation and a finding of probable cause only allows the state's case to move forward. Fleming is legally presumed not to be a sexually violent person unless and until the state proves him to be a sexually violent person at a trial.
Assistant Attorney General Erik Peterson represents the state in this case.

Optimus Prime Ice Sculpture – Geeky Cake of the Week (What? No Frosting?)
By Great White Snark | August 25, 2009
I've heard some not-so-flattering things about you people, recently. I heard that you cast your $10 votes for Michael Bay's latest cacophony of shiny vapidness, Transformers 2: Electro-Mechanical Bugaboo. And that you barely caught yourself from offering an errant laugh at the racist robot twins.
Obviously, I can't let this sort of behavior go unchecked. Which is why you don't get any frosting with your cake this week.
Enjoy this Optimus Prime ice sculpture. If you can. Sure, it's a delightfully geeky, original, and impressive piece of artwork. But can you eat it? No. And I shan't let you try. Because you're on probation.
Yeah. Maybe you'll think twice next time before giving yourself over to witless entertainment. Hell, I probably saved you from tuning in to Spencer and Heidi's next reality show. You're welcome.
Thanks to Super Punch for the find.

If you tried to eat that thing, you'd probably deduct calories.

Thousands of people left the Erie Auto Show after getting a look at the latest cars and trucks on the market.
Representatives of the Sight Center of Northwest PA left with something better — the keys to a new Ford van, a gift from Erie-area Ford dealers.
"The goal of the Ford Friendship Express program is simple — to provide the gift of transportation to the people and organizations that need it most," said Mark Winkler, chairman of the Erie Ford Friendship Express Selection Committee.
The Sight Center was selected from among more than 30 charities that submitted applications from Erie, Crawford and Warren counties.
The organization will use the van to transport people in the area who are blind or severely visually impaired.
The philanthropic program, already established in western New York, was announced in November for Erie County.

Step 1: Find a bolt
Technically, this is a hex washer head sheet metal screw, but that's just the engineer in me speaking.
Step 2: Mark the center
I used the center finding gauge from my tri-square. There are more complicated ways of drilling in the exact center of a circle but this worked for me. I used a knife to scribe a few lines through the center at varying rotations.
Step 3: Find a drill bit
Step 4: Drill into the end knob
Don't drill too deep. Mine went in about 3/8 of an inch and then brass shavings started coming out. Definitely stop when you see brass coming out.
Step 5: Test and cut to length
I cut my screw to approximately 1/4" long. I could have left it longer but I wanted to be on the safe side.
I used a jeweler's saw to cut the screw. Most people would use a dremel tool for this but I've never really liked using mine.

Jonno gave me an update on some Surfline initiatives, including plans for Water Magazine and Surfline.
Surfline.com is coming off its busiest month yet - 30 million page views in November - and is on track to do the same in December.
Jonno attributes the bump in page views to Surfline's "Six Weeks at the North Shore" project, where Surfline sent a large team of writers and photographers to chronicle the behind-the-scenes action during the big wave contest season. Honda sponsored the series, which allowed Surfline to send an especially large contingent.
The big swell a few weeks ago also boosted traffic as surfers turned to Surfline for forecast information, Jonno said.
As Surfline has added editorial content to its site, visitors are staying longer. In 2002, the average visit lasted three minutes; today, it's 10 minutes.
Surfline attracts 1.2 million unique visitors a month. The weather forecasts are the "engine" that drives 80,000 to 100,000 visitors a day to the site and the expanded editorial content gives them a reason to stay, Jonno said.
Surfline, which also publishes books, expanded further into print media this summer by acquiring Water Magazine, an upscale, surfing quarterly.
"We're trying to take our large daily audience and give them great products whatever the medium," Jonno said.
Unlike most in the media business, Jonno is bullish on print. Surfline doesn't need to spend a lot of money building its audience since it already has a large one. Instead, that money can go to creating a premium publication that sets Water apart from competitors. Jonno said Water will remain a quarterly publication.
Surfline is changing Water's distribution strategy. Instead of focusing on newstands, which is an expensive and wasteful model, he said, Surfline is focusing on direct sales to consumers.
Water is promoted on Surfline.com, which has boosted subscriptions by 20 percent.
Surfline also has a database of 900 surf shops that are on the Website. About 700 do not sell Water.
Right now, a letter and two copies of Water are on the way to those 700 stores. The goal is to expose the magazine to more people and use it as an entree to sell other Surfline products such as guides and books.
"We think surf shops are a great place to be," he said.
World Qualifying Series surfers, high school surf teams, and premium Surfline subscribers will also get the magazine.
"We can ramp up distribution without a lot of costs," Jonno said.
Water will still be sold at some desirable newstands.
"It's a $10 mag - it's not going to be at Safeway," he said.
With all the different efforts combined, distribution should triple.
"We think our sweet spot is 50,000 (circulation)," Jonno said.
Issue 24, on newstands this week, is the first issue produced start-to-finish by the Surfline team.
Surfline is looking to grow both internationally and locally.
Since Surfline has weather tools globally, Jonno believes it can extend its plat form to other countries and languages, reaching new audiences for its products and new advertisers.
Surfline wants to also drill down on a local level by combining surf forecasting with local content to attract local advertisers.

My preemie is now about 4 1/2 months old and about 2 months old CA.
The last 24 hours she has been eating only about an ounce every 3 hours at every other feeding. A typical day is closer to 2 ounces every 3 hours. So she is eating a little less. She doesn't have a fever, doesn't act sick. She is on Enfacare formula. No changes to her bottles, nipples or really anything else. Sometimes when we try to feed her, she moves her head back and forth. I can't tell if she is playing or not really hungry or just looking around. I noticed if she is really hungry then she will pretty much stay still and drink her whole bottle.
In the past, there has been feedings where she's only had an ounce but would go back to normal.
anyone have this issue? I can't tell if it's a preemie thing, her thing or what. The last time we weighed she was 9lbs (12/4) and was gaining weight appropriately. So I would guess she is about 9 1/2 lbs nowl.
I don't know if I should worry or not.

SAN ANTONIO - A truck hit an 18-month-old at a San Antonio car wash, said police.
It happened at a car was in the 900 block of Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon.
San Antonio police said the boy was in front of the truck, and the boy's aunt accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake, hitting the boy.
Police said the boy was seriously injured and taken to University Hospital. He was listed in critical condition.
Leroy Vasquez said he heard a crash and then saw a woman screaming hysterically and carrying a baby.
Vasquez said he tried to help by holding the baby's head up, but he said that the baby was not crying and that he wasn't responsive.
Vasquez said the baby coughed a few times and that he was bleeding from the head.
"It's a bad, bad accident," said Vasquez. "It's a little child. You could see the blood on the floor. I thought he was wearing a little cowboy hat and I think they were going to wash the truck and it was just a tragic accident."
Police said the accident is under investigation and that it does not appear that any charges will be filed.

With enough insulation to provide ample warmth for winter's coldest days (especially when worn with a baselayer bottom), decking your boy out in the DC Boys' Donon Pant is a no-brainer when the temperature drops. Actually, we're sure that your son has a great brain because why else would he let you know that the Donon is the kind of pant that can make the coldest, snowiest days of the year so dang enjoyable.
- Breathable Exotex material repels wet snow but still allows excess heat and moisture vapor to escape
- Shant control feature uses pull loops in the cargo pockets to raise the cuffs for limited cuff-wear—also also allows room to grow into the pant
- Critical seams taped to prevent moisture penetration when conditions get messy

Riding is fun in the DC Donon Pants
Jenny Mitton
My ten year old asked for bright, baggy, warm pants for his snowboarding season. I got him the DC Donon pants in the tennis yellow color. I have never seen a boy get so excited over a pair of pants. I bought him the size M and they are pretty baggy still. He wears a belt with them and has to roll them up a bit but I am glad they will last a couple seasons, saves me money. He absolutely loves the way they look and has not complained about being too cold or too hot in them. When you look good you ride better.

The Aiken County Sheriffs Office is looking for a man involved in an armed robbery that occurred Sunday afternoon at a Family Dollar.
According to Sheriffs Office Capt. Eric Abdullah, deputies got a call at about 2:55 p.m. about the incident that happened at the Family Dollar store on Kerr Street in Belvedere.
A black male described as wearing a camouflage jacket or shirt, dark jeans, a camouflage hat and Polo boots walked into the store, pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money. He then fled the scene with an undetermined amount of cash, Abdullah said.
It was later determined the man got into a vehicle. No description of that vehicle is available at this time.
Anyone with information related to the robbery or the identity of the suspect is asked to call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372).

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the bazillion things I have to get done by next Tuesday night and I am so frazzled I can't even sit still long enough to write a to-do list, which is usually my go-to stress therapy thing! Anyway, today's post is a bite random, so enjoy. And, while you're all commenting-because I love me some comment love-ask any questions you have & I'll do a Q&A post next week.
1. Want an update on my 30 day experiment? Okay, here it is. Things are going okay. The scale hasn't moved as much as I'd like {4 pounds so far}, but I feel really good. I've only missed 2 days of working out and felt yucky both days. I finished my "Couch to 5k" program on July 8th and started the "Bridge to 10k" program {which takes off where the 5k one ended} on July 11th. Wow, it's kicking my trash. Wednesday I went 5.048 miles which is the furthest I've gone in years and second furthest I've gone ever…{did 6 miles one time a few years ago}. I love the program though and that it's just three days a week which is doable. Yesterday was an off day as far as feeling okay about myself. I tried on clothes which I usually like, but nothing looked cute and I was totally depressed. Hadn't gotten my workout done either and I was still in my sweats since I've adopted the policy of a previous Feature Friday client, Tara, who suggested staying in your workout clothes till it's done. Well, yesterday, it ended up being 8:38 PM. Got my boys in bed and climbed on the treadmill when I really would rather have cuddled on my couch with a book. I plugged my headphones into my iPhone and watched a show on Netflix while doing 60 minutes of high paced incline walking. It was a kick butt workout & I was drenched by the end, which made me feel a lot better. Eating has been good. Trying to find the balance of what my body can handle in maintenance.
2. Want to know a pet peeve of mine? Tweeters {peeps who tweet on twitter}, who don't reply to questions/posts/etc. I've noticed this phenomenon mainly affects Famous people {certain music artists, authors, and movie stars I follow}, but I think if they want people to follow them on twitter and consequently think they are cool, they should occasionally tweet back. I mean, seriously, are they that busy? It really would be good twitter etiquette. I'm just sayin. And by the way, if you're on Twitter, come find me…because I actually tweet back sometimes! @healthconfess
3. Husband and I watched a couple good flicks this last week. First we watched, "Just Go With It." Totally loved it. We laughed a lot and I always love Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston, so it was a win from the start. And, Nicole Kidman has super nice abs in that movie. Next we watched "Tron," and we both liked it a lot although I had an easier time staying awake than the husband. (:
4. I'm always reading multiple things because reading is my best personal therapy and there are so many things I want to read all the time. I rarely have time anymore because I'm busy with other things that have to take priority-which I'm okay with-but I still relish the times I do get to read a snippet or two. You can always guarantee I've got the following by my bedside, on my dresser, or on my desk: Scriptures, some form of self help book, exercise magazine, TSFL info, parenting book{s}, a memoir or autobiography, a fiction novel, and some other random fluff.
Right now for my "fluff" I'm enjoying Jen Lancaster's, "Pretty in Plaid." Totally laughing my head off out loud in bed late last night. Love books like that.
5. Check this guy out. He is my cousin. His legs were amputated after a semi truck accident when he was 6 years old. He totally rocks. Completely positive, always smiling & joking, never holding back or not trying things because he doesn't have legs. He was a state cross country runner {in his wheelchair}, a state wrestler {103 lbs.}, and is married with two kiddos. He inspires me. If I ever find myself complaining, I hope I can continually look to Casey for his awesome example and remember that I can't use any excuse for not reaching my goals. I'm grateful for the reminder.

An Ohio Appeals Court dismissed drug trafficking case for improper venue, promoting unusual public criticism from an elected prosecutor.
The court had previously dismissed a related case for a similar reason.
The case is State v. Sparks, 2014-Ohio-1130.
In 2011, the Warren County Drug Task Force began investigating an alleged marijuana trafficking ring. Undercover officers purchased marijuana on three different occasions in the Mason, Warren County, Ohio area.
The Task Force determined that the dealer had purchased his marijuana from a married couple in Hamilton Countyand from someone who grew marijuana in Butler and Hamilton Counties. The Defendant grew marijuana for one of the suppliers at a house in Hamilton County. In exchange for growing and processing marijuana, the Defendant was allowed to stay in the house rent-free, and received a few hundred dollars every month.

President Obama: 'Nobody's Boy'?
By NPR Staff

What I love most about my job is that I'm learning every day. I get to explore a wide range of professions – polygraph examiner, DUI attorney, relationship counselor, dog behaviorist, just to name a few. I don't have one boss; I have dozens. And I learn something from each of them.
There's no remaining stagnant as a working writer. You must be constantly learning and adapting, and for that reason, I can't imagine a better profession.
Writing allowed me to explore my inner thoughts and beliefs. There more I write the more I challenge the principles I hold true to myself.
I helped me changed certain believes I once had and reinforce some. The more you write, the more you think.
The more you think, there might be a chance that there will be more you know.
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
― Ernest Hemingway
Writing every day has helped me more than I can measure. It has helped my mind, my soul, and my circle. Here's a quick list of things I've learned from typing away for years–and somehow coming up with some stuff worthy enough to be read by you:
– Clarity is a must. If you can't write clearly, then you can't write. Thankfully, writing brings clarity. The more you do it the more clearly you will think and speak to your thoughts. In a way, writing organizes your noggin'.
– Don't seek to be published; seek to bleed and add value. I've learned this from one of my idols, James Altucher. If you write in order to be read and seen, you become too self-critical. You become more risk-averse. You try to find the "right" thing to write, the popular thing to write. But if you write to bleed on the page (by being honest and sharing your experience) and by adding value (aiming to be helpful and/or entertaining), you'll write with a truer voice.
– Writing is the most god awful thing in the world (but you must do it). If you feel compelled to put something down on a page, to elaborate on something in writing, or to share your story through different mediums (twitter, facebook, blogs…), then you are a writer. You're a writer as much as a bacon-lover must have bacon with their eggs. You must. But writing is also excruciating. Thoughts, unwieldy and half-formed as they can be, need to be transformed by your fingers and your mind into coherent and authentic prose. That is hard. But you must write. After you are done doing that painful extraction from body and soul to the rest of the world, you feel drained, but you also feel renewed, because you had to do it and you did. There's relief.
I have learned more about myself and who I truly am a person throughout my writing – I haven't just learned how to express my socially-awkward, mostly-introverted self better through the medium of writing, it's opened me to up to a massive world where the act of writing words can help change peoples' lives.
I've learnt about what means to me as a person, what values I hold dear, what tenants construct my life now and what I want to life to become and mean in the future. Writing for me has been both a gateway to a different way of viewing life, allowing me to be structured and creative in the same beat and giving me the chance to be the truest form of myself.
I have always had trouble communicating with people as I'm extremely shy and have struggled with anxiety since, well, birth I guess. I recall my teachers would borderline plead with me to speak more in class and to other students as they often thought I was odd and singled me out due to how silent I was.
Writing is how I learnt to communicate with people. Writing allowed me to convey myself; my opinions, my personality and my capabilities at a time when I'm pretty sure most people thought I was the most boring, bland human being on the planet.
Now, writing has taught me that I can expose myself to people and let them in, that people are interested in me and that I should be confident in myself. To me, writing is not limited to creativity or to an art form but it is how I have learnt to connect with the world around me; it was my voice when I could not speak.
Being a writer has taught me how to be vulnerable and that it's perfectly OK to do sometimes. I've shared things with the public that I haven't with family members. I've learned how to connect with people, while also understanding the importance of a target audience: some people will "get it" while some just won't. And that's fine, too. Still, the connections with others and the unexplainable relief I feel from writing is what makes me want to create more. Knowing that my words are relatable and possibly healing to someone else? Yep. That's powerful and I'm here for it. (This is also why I wrote my debut book called The Girl Talk Chronicles: How to Manage Love, Lust & Situations available on Amazon.)
The answers to all my questions are inside me – I just have to sit down to write and allow a space for words to come onto the page.
I have to think anything up – I just write it down.
Writing has been my passion since I was 10 years old and read Anne of Green Gables. I just knew that I wanted to write stories for the pleasure, entertainment and inspiration of others as well as to get to know myself.
I learned that a writer is someone who writes. Sometimes for no reason. Just because he can't sleep until the words come out. I learned that a writer is an expert of nothing, but an explorer of everything (well, almost everything).
Writing gives me a chance to meet my true being to open the eternity of universe. Writing teaches me to live with heart and clear the mind to see the answers and share them with others. It teaches me to share and trust.
Writing creates me, it reveals the best part of me and helps me to see the Light.
What is your gift which helps to shine your true being?
How did I end up here…sitting in front of my MacBook pouring my heart into prose all across the internet? Honestly, I think it is my midlife crises. As I sat on a tiny Forward Operating Base (FOB) inside the Kabul Air Wing, Afghanistan, for a year, I had some time to think. Away from my family with my oldest in his Freshmen year at Cornell, I had one of those moments. Passing the twenty-year career mark in 2014, I will soon be eligible for retirement. As I watched the sunrise one morning, I found myself wondering what I wanted to be 'when I grow up.' That is a common question we pose in the military when we discuss life on the outside, in the civilian world. The follow-on question was, logically, where had I been. That is the epiphany for this literary work. As I put notes around my room, a story emerged and, for the first time in my life, I had the urge to write. My writing obsession began with a few blogs, then I became a columnist for a magazine. It has become my motivation, my passion, my get-away from the combat world outside my door each day. As I researched this new passion, Jeff Goin helped me better understand this new-found enthusiasm in this excerpt:
The Writer's Manifesto
By Jeff Goin
Writers don't write to get published.
They write for another reason.
This is the first and only lesson every writer must learn.
Real writers don't write for recognition.
They don't do it for fame, accolades, or notoriety.
They do it because they cannot not write.
By their gifts and under the authority of a higher calling,
they are compelled to create. To wonder. To dream. To express.
Real writers wake up every morning with something to say.
Even if the words have yet to come.
They discipline themselves to start.
Forsaking every excuse and justification.
The true writer simply shows up. Ready to do the work.
Whether the work is successful or acknowledged is not important.
Creating is our primary concern.
Real writers do not need inspiration or an audience to begin.
They know, without question, that their greatest adversary and ally is themselves.
And that they are not alone. Real writers recognize that there is a hidden force.
Acting upon them. Guiding them. And leading them.
The wisest writers call upon this force, taking the time to learn how to wield it well.
They do this every day but this is not an excuse to wait.
It is a call to begin. To honor the gift. To show up.
Even without applause. Again, the whole point of this is simply…
Writers don't write to get published.
They write for the love of writing.
This sentence below that I wrote some 4 years ago in my old blog sums it up:
"Writing is my soul. It is my being. It is my becoming."
It`s wrong question. The right is here "what my writings learned from me" *joke*
Write is my inspiration, so I write to inspire people, too.
I learnt that no one have created the best writing, article or novel yet, every of them is differently and wonder-workingly precious.

Quick Glance:
Miao/Hmong people are the first to settle into the Yellow River (Yangshao Civilization) before the Chinese takes over. Hmong moves southwards to the upper Yangtze river (Daxi Civilization) and rebuilds their empires. Chinese expands south and Miao/Hmong moves more southwards towards the borders of S.E Asia. Not until the 18th Century does the Hmong finally moves south because of the Qing Dynasty that wars against the Hmong.
Origins of Miao/Hmong
They migrated southward from N.E Asia. And cultivated rice in the Yangtze River.
And eventually migrated southward into South-West China and some northward towards Japan.
There were two major tribes, the Jiuli and the Huaxia north of the Yellow River. One Day Huangdi (The Yellow Emperor) joined forces with Shennong and together fought with the Chiyou. It is said that Chiyou won every single battle in his lifetime, but when he fought against the Yellow Emperor on their 10th battle, Chiyou was finally defeated.
It is said that when they captured Chiyou, the people were afraid to execute him, so a brave winged-dragon known as "Yinglong" came and decapitated him. By doing this, he was cursed to never fly again. From Chiyou's grave grew a Maple Tree.
With the Chiyou deafeated, his three sons seperated. His oldest fled to the south, his middle to the north and his youngest stayed.
Chiyou's Legacy
The Miao/Hmong revered him as emperor Txiv Yawg, the Korean's viewed him as a War Hero and the Chinese viewed him as a War God.
According to the Hmong burial ritual 'Show the Way', Hmong history can be trace to as early as the Shang Dynasty. After the fall of Shang to Zhou, Chu was the next and last known Hmong kingdom. When Chu fell to Qin, the great migration that scattered the Hmong began. Many remained and started the great revolt that helped found the Han Dynasty under Liu Bang. Hmong culture greatly influenced the Western Han.
San Miao
San Miao in Chinese means "3 Hmong", a direct mistranslation by the Chinese (Because in the Hmong language, "Peb" means "We/Us/Ours" and "Three" both sounds the same) and to the Hmong, Peb Hmoob means "Our Hmong" which means "Our Homeland".
Shang Dynasty
State of Chu
Western Zhou Dynasty
Western Han Dynasty
Kingdom of Nanzhao
The Hmong along with many other groups formed a Kingdom called "Nanzhao". They were a threat to the Song Dynasty. After the fall of Nanzhao, they became the "Kingdom of Dali".
The Hmong who Stayed
The descendants of the Hmong who never fled to the south currently speak the Wu, Xiang, and Hui Chinese dialects and Cantonese language.
Thousand Years mystery
The Thousand Year Mystery marks the last known account on the Hmong people. Even in Chinese historic account, did the word "Hmong" was gone.
Lady Dai:
Lady Dai of the Western Han Dynasty is believe to be of Hmong decent. This is a silk banner that is hanged with her in her coffin which replicates the Hmong's spirit beliefs.
Qin Xing War (1164 - 1209)
Zhong Xang, Yajiaumo of Huang: Zhong Xang Yajiaumo, also known as Tou Long Vaj, was the General of the Huang of the Miao People, today they are known as the Hmong, during the 11th Century through mid-12th Century in Southern China against the Rebellion of the Zhou Dynasty. He was born in the mountains in a Miao village, he grew up hated by many of the villagers because he was poor and did not have parents, likely they've died from illness or were killed. Instead of learning his culture's teachings, he studied swordsmenship and martial arts. He then defended his village from random attacks of the Chinese, (Xhua Liab). When the Emperor ordered a sweep to take out the Miao people, many fled into deeper southern Asia; Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Those who stayed supported Zhong Xang with the war against the Chinese, the first battle at the northern mountains of Huangshan led Zhong Xang with victory. Stunned by this, the Emperor ordered more men on the attack, the second battle of Qin Xing was victorious by Zhong Xang as well. At Haji Bay, Zhong Xang and his armies were ambushed and Yajiaumo almost died. He managed to survive with the help of the "Green Hmong" (Hmoob Gauws), who later agreed to help him fight. In 1172, the Khong Ming of the Zhou surrendered and they fled into the east. The Miao people then moved to the higher mountains to avoid furture warfare. In 1186, arrows lit with fire and yellings from the distance was heard as Chinese soldiers raged the mountains of Huangshan. once again, the Miao was forced to fight. Zhong Xang was placed as General, and battle continued until 1208, when Zhong Xang's soldiers were less than 150,000. Before the battle, he gave a speech to the Miao People. He asked them to help him battle, instead 66 percent of the population in the entire Southern China region decided to leave. Leaving him with less than 12,000 soldiers. Not surrendering, he plunged an attack on the Chinese. He was outnumbered and his entire army was wiped out in less than 4 hours or five. Zhong Xang was caught and faced the Emperor. Forced to Kneel apon the Emperor, he refused. His back-knees were cut by a knife, forcing him to kneel. Grabing his sword, he plunged the grounds and forced himself to never bow down. The Emperor then grabbed his knife and plunged it into Zhong Xang's neck, he was bled and died. Over almost one thousand years later, his finds where found and a statue was built for the memory of the great Miao Leader.
Qin Liangyu:
Qin Liangyu is a Hmong female general during the Ming Dynasty.
Guizhou Rebellions
The Hmong were a constant hassle to the Qing Dynasty, declaring for their own independence. As a way to keep the Hmong from reuniting and attacking the Qing Dynasty, they built a similar Great Wall in the south to defend themselves from the Hmong. The Hmong Southern Great Wall is a big pride to the Hmong, because it shows that the Hmong were seen as a Civilization that could take over a Chinese Dynasty.
Between 1856-1873, the Hmong were involved in a severe rebellion against the Qin Dynasty. It was said in the Qing dynasty that "Every thirty years there would be minor revolts, while every sixty years there would be major rebellions". The Hmong motto of this war was "Get back our land. Drive the Han and he Manchus out off our country".
During this time, the Hmong were organized as a state that is not recognized by the Chinese empire. They had kings, leaders, ambassadors and officials. The last king remembered was a man named Voung Chinh Duc from Vietnam in the 18th century.
The Southern Great Wall
Southern China Great Wall located in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province. During the Qing Dynasty's harsh rule, they suppressed many ethnicity and had a great trouble with the Hmong people, that they built a wall for themselves to protect them from invasion.
Splitting the Miao/Hmong peoples
The Miao/Hmong were a constant threat to the Dynasties and so after a long war, the Chinese had won and to ensure that the Miao/Hmong would never be able rise up again, they splitted them into different colours, regions and places so that they will never reunite again.
The colors were split between Red, Green, Flower, Black and White. The Red are in Yunnan, the Green and the White are in Laos/Thailand and the Flower and Black are in Vietnam.
Migration to South-East Asia
Today the Hmong are still in exist after many series of War, Rebellions and Battles against those that forces to assimilate, genocide and end the Hmong Civilization. The Hmong are a proud people who after thousands of years came together to preserve their National Identity. Their language, their culture, their tradition and their ways of life.

I appreciated your searching for our past that we may once had some very wonderful history, but it is sad that some eval trader betrayed his own people. Now time to change. look at other countries, their people royal to their leaders, but we still fighting among us. How could we ever have a land of our own. For over Five Thousand years we still circling among ourselves. We claim that we are the Hmong but we don't even know who we really are anymore.
I think it is time to move on and be happy where you are and be royal to the land leader that you live in.
