Tool tests on the fast track
Tool Tips
Six Linux tools reviewed: FISH 2.0.0, BAD 0.0.2, BLINK, FPING 3.5, LNAV 0.5.0, TOMB 1.4
Alternative Shell
Source: http://fishshell.com
License: GPLv2
Alternatives: Bash, Dash, Z shell
Fish is a command-line interpreter with interesting additional features. At first glance, the shell looks much like Bash, but this changes when you enter the first command. Thanks to syntax highlighting, the program emphasizes incomplete commands in red, correct commands in blue, and parameters in turquoise.
Fish also tries to guess commands and parameters and makes suggestions while you are typing by drawing on the history of the current session. The developers have also implemented tab completion, pipes, and redirection.
For a surprise, try typing
help. The shell does not display a list of available commands but opens the online help in your default browser. This browser also launches when you type
fish_config. You can then click to turn features on and off and view the history. A look at the project page – and especially the tutorial – is recommended, especially for users who are interested in scripting with Fish.
Fish is an interesting alternative shell for Linux and OS X users. Besides the standard functions, the tool impresses with syntax highlighting and autocompletion suggestions as you type.
Monitoring backup directories
Source: https://github.com/SaviorPhoenix/bad
License: GPLv2
Alternatives: Pirysncd, Pirysncd
The backup daemon monitors a user-defined directory, creates MD5 sums for newly added data, and then copies the data to another folder. The the tool does not perform the actual data backup. You need another program to back up the target folder.
Bad takes changes in subdirectories into consideration, but only up to the first level. Bad learns from the kernel's inotify feature about changes that have happened on the filesystem. In a personal configuration file
~/.bad/config a user can define
watch_dir and
backup_dir to specify which folder the daemon monitors and where it copies new data.
Additional settings are defined in call parameters. For example,
-d switches the program to dry-run mode for test purposes;
-l changes the log level,
-n disables hashing, and
-N enables recursive backups. The daemon does not log its actions in the default directory
/var/log; rather, it uses the users' home directories in the
~/.bad/log file.
Bad is still a young project, and so far it only has a few advanced features. However, the tool has potential and it's worth keeping an eye on.
Lean Blog Engine
Source: http://tinybashcgis.tuxfamily.org
License: GPL
Alternatives: Blazeblogger
Anyone looking for a handy blog engine should take a look at Blink. After unpacking the archive, copy the
cgi-bin directory to the documents folder on your web server and make sure the CGI files it contains are executable.
Blink manages several blogs in directories below
cgi-bin/blink. If you want one of them to record comments, you need to create an additional
.comments directory in the blog folder. If you want use CSS, you must modify the HTML code in the script; the
README.blink file explains how to do this. Blink sorts blog entries by their modification dates.
The post link lets users open a form in which to compose texts. Similarly, a click on Comment pops up an input field for comments. The text area is limited to 500 words in both cases; the engine understands HTML tags and entities. As a protection against spambots, users need to type the current month before posting. A simple search function is also included.
The slim blog engine is especially suitable for smaller networks or home computers. It lacks sophisticated access controls, so admins will want to consider carefully whether they want to operate Blink in the open on the web.

All quotes tagged Suicide
(567 quotes found)
"So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. I smoke because it's bad, it's really simple."
"Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live"
"Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society."
"I was darkly convinced that at age 52 I would kill myself because my mother committed suicide at that age. I was fantasizing that she was waiting for me on the other side of the grave."
"As anyone who has been close to someone that has committed suicide knows, there is no other pain like that felt after the incident"
"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering."

SEOUL, June 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is prepared to take action "immediately" against deepening market volatility caused by worries that the U.S. could reduce its quantitative easing policy, the country's top economic policymaker said Friday.
The remarks by Finance Minister Hyun Oh-seok came after the stock and currency markets here were rattled for the second straight day following U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's comments that Washington could ease back its bond-buying program.
The program has helped the U.S. keep its interest rates at record lows by injecting money into the market and stimulating its economy.
"In preparation for possibly deepening market volatility, (we) will respond immediately, if necessary, under contingency plans tailored for each different scenario," Hyun told a meeting with other policymakers.
Hyun said that Bernanke's remarks could help lift some uncertainty hanging over the market about the future policy direction of the U.S. but worried that they could also spark capital outflows especially from emerging markets.
"We will remain on standby and be prepared to take immediate action in accordance with our contingency plans," he noted.
As for the economy management blueprint that the government is mapping out for the second half, he said that the plan will be focused on "breaking the country's low growth trend."
Hyun added that the government will also focus on building a countermeasure system through which it can "pre-emptively" cope with ramifications stemming from moves to ease quantitative easing efforts.
Shin Je-yoon, the chairman of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), the country's top financial regulator, even hinted at taking a possible counteraction to stabilize the market early next week.
"We'll keep a close check on the New York market tonight and if deemed necessary, we can take measures (to ease the market)," he told reporters after attending an event in Seoul.
Meanwhile, the government said that it will convene an emergency meeting of financial authorities on Sunday to review the latest economic and market situations unfolding in the wake of Bernanke's remarks on the possible decrease in quantitative easing.
The meeting will be attended by high-ranking officials from the finance ministry, the FSC, the Financial Supervisory Service and the Bank of Korea.
"The main objective of this meeting is not to come up with any immediate countermeasures but check the overall situations together with relevant ministries and agencies," a finance ministry official said.

A rookie wage scale in the NFL could affect Washington quarterback Jake Locker if he waits for the 2011 draft.
The size of the signing bonus quarterback Jake Locker would receive as a top-10 draft pick in 2010 could be large — an eight-figure jaw-dropper, even.
The degree of uncertainty over the financial future of the draft after this year is just as big.
The potential that the NFL will change the way its draft picks get paid is the wild card in Locker's decision to enter the 2010 draft or return for his senior season at Washington.
Returning to school is a decision that could cost Locker millions, and it has nothing to do with his skills, experience or anything else.

There is a push from the league's 32 teams to implement a rookie wage scale, altering the current status in which negotiations are a financial free-for-all. Players are free to ask for as much as they want, teams free to hold fast to a given offer.
Seahawks president Tim Ruskell was asked in July if he supported a rookie wage scale similar to the NBA's. In that league, the length of contract and salary are calibrated according to where the player is drafted.
"That's what everybody is talking about," Ruskell said. "We're in the midst of a negotiation. I'm sure that's going to hit the table. I would be for that. You know how the veteran players feel about that. I'm optimistic that [we'll have] some form of that because it seems to work."
Under the current situation, a rookie like Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, the fifth pick in April, signed a five-year deal for $28 million guaranteed that could pay him up to $50 million. Compare that to Matt Hasselbeck, a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback whose current contract is a six-year deal that pays him $47 million.
"It just seems a little out of whack right now," Ruskell said back in July.
There is sentiment that the current system is structured so players who have yet to play a down in the NFL receive larger deals than players who have already proven themselves.
"I don't know what will happen," said receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, the Seahawks' union representative with the NFL Players Association, "but I will say the majority of guys would prefer that it is something like the NBA. But the money that is saved, where does it go? That's the bigger key. If it's not going to the players that have already proven themselves, then just leave it the same."
The issue will come to a head over the next few months because last year the NFL's owners voted to opt out of the current collective-bargaining agreement. The league's owners and the Players Association are negotiating a new deal.
It's possible — and some would say even likely — that no deal will be reached before March 2010. At that point the salary cap would be scrapped and next season would become uncapped. What would affect Locker is if a new labor agreement is reached before the 2011 draft because at that point, a rookie wage scale could be in place and the free-for-all negotiations of today would be history.
"I don't know if one will be coming or not," Houshmandzadeh said of a rookie wage scale. "I don't know if it's as big an issue as they want to make it seem it is. It really only affects seven, eight, maybe nine guys."
With Locker's status in the draft, though, he figures to be one of those players.

I'm a FTM and am almost 5 weeks PP. I still cannot get back into the groove of things. I wonder how every one else manages to go back to work after only 6 weeks. Or take care of more than one child, especially those of you with toddlers. And find time to work out. The only way I can get anything done is by not sleeping more than 2 hours a day. Is that how you do it? You just don't sleep?
I'm breastfeeding and maybe that's why I don't have time. She doesn't have a schedule. She can nurse every hour, 2 hours, 2.5 hours or 3 hours. It may take her an hour or 20 minutes. I don't co sleep because my bed is too small and I'm too scared. I'm so exhausted, I'm afraid I'll roll over on her. Sometimes I wake up to her crying and I swear I get up and nurse her only to realize I never got up, I just dreamt I did. That makes me feel like crap. I do wear her and thats how I'm able to do laundry or other things around the house. But I still have to choose between sleeping or eating or taking a shower. Sleep always comes first so I'm ofter hungry and stinky.
I feel like I'm failing and everyone else has it together. I don't know how I'm going to manage going back to work. Luckily, I have about 6 more weeks to figure it out.

It is interesting to everyone whether Chelsea Clinton will hear wedding bells ringing for her at a sprawling property somewhere upstate New York?
As the Hudson Valley News reports on its pages, the 30-year-old former first daughter will tie the knot with Marc Mezvinsky, her beloved fiancé, this summer. It is said that their wedding ceremony will be held in Rhinebeck in John Jacob Astor's IV former estate.
This magnificent mansion is situated around 70 miles away from the family home of Chelsea Clinton in Chappaqua. As it is written in tourist brochures, the building is located high on a cliff and has a long driveway which winds around rivers and mountains.
Of course, this romantic place is perfect for the nuptials, however, the rumors concerning Chelsea Clinton's wedding ceremony in that place have been incorrect in the past. The buzz was spread last year, that the star couple had plans to organize their wedding in Martha's Vineyeard. By the way, Mezvinsky and Clinton were reportedly engaged in Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, Clinton's rep was not reached for comment. But we hope that the current situation will be clarified in the immediate future.

On November 11, an Islamophobic NEFA Foundation Alert headlined, "Afghan Taliban Celebrate Ft. Hood Massacre," saying it:
"issued a new official communique in response to the massacre at Ft. Hood....titled, 'The Attack in Texas Is A Proof On The Disagreement Among American Soldiers Over The War,' the Taliban celebrated the 'fight and trance and enormous fears within the military and civil circles in America' caused by the incident."
Referring to Hasan as a "hero," it warned that if the US doesn't withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, "it will become normal for (similar) incidents and attacks (to) expand to the Pentagon and the rest of the American military bases...."
Instances of Violence in the Military
On November 9, New York Times writers Michael Moss and Ray Rivera headlined, "At Army Base, Some Violence Is Too Familiar," citing past examples from combat stress:
-- after returning to Fort Hood in 2008, Sgt. Gilberto Mota shot his wife Diana, an Army specialist, and took his own life;
--in July, two returning First Cavalry Division members were at a party when one killed the other; and
-- the same month, Sgt. Justin Lee Garza, over-stressed from two deployments, shot himself in a friend's apartment outside Fort Hood four days after being told no therapists were available for counseling.
The article said "Reports of domestic abuse have grown by 75 percent since 2001, (and) violent crime in (adjacent) Killeen has risen 22 percent...." Other stresses showed up in 76 Fort Hood suicides, 10 in 2009. Overall, record numbers of them are occurring, likely more than officially reported, as well as on average 10 failed attempts for each lost life. The reasons - extended, repeated combat zone deployments causing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and severe depression.
In January, the Veterans Affairs Department (VA) reported 178,483 Iraq and Afghanistan vets diagnosed with mental illness between 2002 and September 2008. Included were cases of PTSD, depression, neurotic disorders, and psychoses, as well as drug abuse and alcoholism. A 2008 RAND Corporation study estimated that 20% of Iraq and Afghanistan vets (or 350,000 people) suffered from PTSD, nearly double the VA figure. In addition, up to 18 US veterans of foreign wars commit suicide daily - over 6,500 annually. The numbers are troublesome and unreported by the major media supporting calls for more troops.
The Times said interviews with Iraq and Afghanistan vets and with family members of those killed in Texas show that the Army hasn't dealt with this crisis. "Even some alarm bells rung by the Army leadership have gone unanswered." Open-ended billions go for militarism and imperial wars. Appallingly little helps the young men and women fighting them when they most need it.
The Fort Hood tragedy is a profound "red alert" indictment of America's imperial wars and the immense human cost to soldiers and non-combatants alike.
Fragging in Vietnam
War-induced stress sparks violence in the ranks. Fragging was the Vietnam term for rank-and-file soldiers killing NCO and officer superiors by fragmentation grenades, shootings, and other means. According to Texas A&M historian, Terry Anderson, the Army knew of at least 600 officer cases from 1969 - 1973, plus "another 1,400 who died mysteriously." He believes that late in the conflict, the Army was more at war with itself than the Vietnamese.
Congressional hearings in 1973 estimated that from 1961 - 1972 up to 3% of NCO and officer deaths were from fragging by fragmentation grenades alone. Many others were by "handguns, automatic rifles, booby traps, knives, and bare hands (by) increasingly pissed off enlisted men."
Writing in 1971, a Col. Heinl said:

Better Off Dead 15
Get to a streak of 10 in I, Zombie Endless
You must complete the 1st 9 levels of I, Zombie levels 1st which unlocks I, Zombie Endless level, once you clear 10 waves in a row you will unlock Better Off Dead.
This time you are in control of the zombies instead of the plants, these levels are more of a puzzle mode so take your time and plan out your attacks.
Advanced Techniques.
Double Cone-head - Use instead of Bucket-head Zombie for double eating power.
Magnet Killer - Take out the Magnet-Shroom quick as he steals your metal powers.
Sneaky - Use you Digger zombie a lot, they can take a out a whole lane if there is no danger.
Disco! - Use Dancing zombie to take out three lanes, just make sure your lead dancer is well protected.
Madden - Use Football zombie to take down a lane with a heavy defence.
China Shop 15
Get to a streak of 15 in Vasebreaker Endless
You must complete the 1st 9 levels of Vasebreaker which unlocks the Vasebreaker Endless level, once you clear 15 waves in a row you will unlock China Shop.
Advanced Techniques.
One Pea Pause - When you have a normal zombie only use 1 Peashooter to take him down, backed up with another Snow Pea if he is close to your house. Do not open another vase in that lane until he is killed.
Holding an item - If you have a plant you don't want to use yet you can pick it up and still break vases without placing it, this is very handy with a Squash for walking your Zombies. This gives you time to open vases and pick the correct lane to plant rather that losing it or planting it on a lane that doesnt require it.
Walking zombies in a pack - Hold a Squash and when you break open a vase with a Bucket-head zombie let him walk to the next vase. When he is right in the middle of the next vase break it, if another zombie is in they will walk at the same speed. Keep opening vases as long as you feel comfortable then plant your Squash on top of the zombies to kill them all.
Wall-nut line-up - When you get a Wall-nut place it near your house then when you get a Squash break all the vases in that lane and wait until they get to the Wall-nut then plant your Squash to kill them all. This can be risky but saves you a lot of plants for the other lanes.
Cherry Bomb - Wave 10 onwards there are 2 Gargantuars! Try to save until then.
Plantern - Try to place this in the centre of the map or close to as many vases as possible. The Plantern is excellent for seeing inside the surrounding vases for you to plan your plant placement.
Rake - This only works for the first wave.
Green vases - You probably figured this out but the green vases always contain a plant.
Beyond the Grave 15
Beat all 19 mini-games
Found in more ways to play on the mini-games gravestone, complete all mini games to unlock.
Buy the rake from the shop to help with each level.
Tips for completing each level.
ZomBotany – Wall-nuts & Tall-nuts are your best friend as they stop Peashooter zombies from destroying your plants.
Wall-nut Bowling – Try and save your exploding Wall-nuts until you cannot hold out any longer.
Slot Machine – Use the slot machine and and defend with the plants you win.
It's Raining Seeds – Simple, defend with plants that drops.
Beghouled – Bejewelled zombie style, match three or more plants in a line. If you run out of matches then use the recycle for 100 sun points which give you a fresh screen of plants to match.
Invisi-ghoul – Tricky as the zombies are invisible, Fill back three rows with Peashooters and Kernel-pults and protect them with Wall-nuts and Squashs. Use Ice-Shrooms if you get into trouble.
Seeing Stars – You only really need Sunflowers, Starfruits and Wall-nuts. Fill the back with as many Sunflowers as you can before the zombies start to come then use Starfruits. If you get in trouble use Wall-nuts to buy some time.
Beghouled Twist – A twisted version of Beghoulded. I found it easier to just swipe the screen for random matches than try to look for correct matches. If you run out of matches then use the recycle for 100 sun points which gives you a fresh screen of plants to match.
Big Trouble Little Zombie - Fill the back three rows with Peashooters and protect them with Wall-nuts. Use Cherry Bombs if you get into trouble.
Portal Combat – Protect your back line and cover portal entrances, beware they move!
Column Like You See 'Em – Very hard roof level! Use your Tall-nuts up front three plant pots back. Use your Magnet-shrooms directly behind the Tall-nuts and wake them up with the Coffee Beans. Use Melon-pults on the back rows and save your Jalapenos for when the Gargantuar show up and they will! When the Ladder Zombie show up quickly replace your plant pots in front of the Tall-nuts and use you Squash if timed right it will take them all out which is key to completing this level. Use Pumpkins to protect the Tall-nuts.
Bobsled Bonanza – Hard pool level. Make sure you have bought the Spikerock from the shop to put over your Spikeweed and the Imitater to choose an extra Spikeweed which will make this a whole lot easier. Plant Sunflowers on the back row before the Zombonis and Bobsled Teams show up if the first zombie is a Zomboni use a Spikeweed and if you can afford it upgrade to Spikerock, if it's a Bobsled team use a Jalapenos. In front of your row of Sunflower plant Peashooters to take out the Bobsled teams and in front of the Peashooters place more Spikeweed and upgrade to spikerock as soon as possible. Jalapenos clear the ice from the lane!
Zombie Nimble Zombie Quick – Be quick as the level is speeded up. Tall-nuts are your best defence, place as many as possible.
Whack A Zombie – Just take them out quickly and use the Grave Buster to eat graves nearest your house as quickly as possible.
Last Stand – Use all your money to set-up your best defence before your start the onslaught. Personally I used a > shape Gloom-shroom configuration, protected by Pumpkins with Cattails inside the > shape and Magnet-shrooms to get rid of the zombies helmets.
ZomBotany 2 – See ZomBotany.
Wall-nut Bowling 2– Try and save your exploding Wall-nuts and big Wall-nuts (They have huge eyes and take out a whole line) until you cannot hold out any longer.
Pogo Party – Fill your back row with Sunflowers until the Pogo Zombies start to come then block them with Wall-nuts so they cannot jump over. In the middle of the Sunflowers and Wall-nuts use Peashooters until you can upgrade them with something more powerful, once your basic defence is set-up add more Flower Pots and better defences.
Dr. Zomboss's Revenge – Basically the same as the end level of adventure mode.

One of the most common and troublesome injuries seen in athletics is the hamstring strain. The hamstring is a group of muscles located on the back of the thigh. The main job of the hamstring muscles is to allow the leg to flex (bend) and extend. Hamstring injuries can occur in a number of ways, the most common is through over stretching. A mildly strained hamstring that is not treated properly and allowed to heal sufficiently may result in recurring strains of that hamstring.

Gabrielle Giffords a 'tireless advocate' for solar energy
I don't tend to think you can draw any broader conclusions from the acts of one demented, violent individual — as I've said before.
Giffords is, however, beloved of the solar energy community, who sent out a note about her Sunday, and that deserves a post. Perhaps the best thing is to reprint what the inside-the-beltway center-right mavens at Politico wrote about her today. Let's start with their Morning Energy update:
GABRIELLE GIFFORDS – "Gabby is not only one of the strongest advocates for solar in Congress, but an excellent example of everything a public servant should be," Solar Energy Industries Association president and chief executive Rhone Resch said in a note to the group's members over the weekend. "The attack on Congresswoman Giffords is a mindless act of violence that defies reason and explanation. I hope that Gabby is able to make a full recovery and return to her duties in Washington, not only because she has been a tireless advocate for solar, but because she has been an excellent public servant for Arizona's 8th District and the American people."
Much like the rest of the nation, the D.C. energy community's focus this morning is largely dominated by the tragic shooting in Tucson, which left six people dead and 14 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The Morning Energy team suggests you check out the POLITICO home site for comprehensive coverage of this past weekend's events and their political aftermath. But, for now, ME offers you some brief background on the Arizona Democrat and her energy positions.
FROM DAY ONE – Giffords has been a vocal supporter of the solar industry, as well as renewable energy as a whole, for her entire congressional career. She used her inaugural floor speech after she was elected for the first time in 2006 to call for the repeal of billions in tax incentives for oil companies in favor of renewable energy subsidies and the founding of a Strategic Renewable Energy Reserve.
Environmentalists and clean energy advocates ME spoke to over the weekend praised Giffords for voting in favor of Waxman-Markey (a risky political decision in her competitive district) and touted her as a key supporter of a number of clean energy efforts, including the recent one-year extension of treasury grants for solar and other renewable sectors.
Giffords also introduced the Solar Technology Roadmap Act that would dedicate $2 billion to new research partnerships and demonstration projects for solar energy technologies. That bill received endorsements from the solar industry and the National Association of Manufacturing, and easily passed the House, 310-106, in October 2009. She has also launched a "Solar Power 101" educational series back in her home state.
POLITICO's Darren Samuelsohn has a look at the conservative backlash that occurred last June after Giffords asked Gen. David Petraeus to explain whether he had any plans to use solar panels and hydropower to increase fuel efficiency in an otherwise dangerous battle zone. http://politi.co/hNiEdw
Samuelsohn's piece is also worth reading, mostly because it shows how disconnected the dirty energy crowd is from the actually security needs of the military in places like Afghanistan:
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords drew the wrath of conservatives last June after questioning a top U.S. official over how green the country's military operations are in Afghanistan, with clips of the exchange prompting some of the heated rhetoric that local police officials say is to blame for the lone gunman who shot her and 19 others in Tucson on Saturday.
Glenn Beck, conservative columnists and one of Giffords' Republican primary opponents piled on after the Arizona Democrat asked Gen. David Petraeus to explain whether he had any plans to use solar panels and hydropower to increase fuel efficiency in an otherwise dangerous battle zone.
Clips of the Giffords-Petraeus exchange during a House Armed Services Committee hearing quickly went viral during the summer, as critics questioned Giffords for bringing up the issue in the first place.
At the hearing, Giffords premised her question by highlighting the public's attention to conservation issues following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, as well as the Defense Department's status as the largest domestic user of energy. She also cited U.S. fuel supply lines that have been under threat in Afghanistan.
"In places like Kandahar, where we have a large presence, we have been plugged into a very unsustainable and incapable grid system," Giffords said. "We know that a major part of the upcoming Kandahar offensive will include some serious repairs and upgrades to the energy system, which will include small-scale solar and hydropower systems and also some solar-powered street lights. I'm just curious, General, whether or not there's plans to utilize any of these same technologies at our bases around Afghanistan, and wouldn't that greatly reduce our need for fuel?"
Petraeus's response downplayed the supply line attacks and noted the military doesn't have access to hydropower at its Afghanistan bases. But he acknowledged Giffords' point that the military is trying to conserve energy, mentioning billions of dollars in savings during the Iraq war that came from pumping extra insulation into rudimentary buildings and sometimes even tents.
"I pause because there are a couple different components to what we're trying to do with respect to energy reduction, if you will, and that's really what it is about," Petraeus said. "There's a fairly comprehensive effort in that regard."
On Beck's radio program, co-host Pat Gray offered his own interpretation of Petraeus' comments. "I pause because that's the dumbest thing anybody's ever asked me, you moron," Gray said. "Are you really asking me, a four-star, a five-star general, what is Petraeus, if I'm getting solar-powered panels on our Afghanistan bases? Is that really the biggest concern I should have right now? Renewable energy on our military bases when we're fighting a war? You've got to be kidding me. That's unbelievable."
Beck added: "That's unsustainable. This whole system is unsustainable."
The Red State blog posted the video and an accompanying article with the headline: "Rep. Giffords to Petraeus: You're Fighting Two Wars? But What About Windmills?"
Greg Halvorson, a Portland-based columnist and host of the Freedom Warrior Radio program, urged readers on the blog American Thinker to "hope and pray that Gabs loses in November."
"Fellow Americans, you have got to be kidding me. This isn't possible. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), a sitting member of Congress, did not ask General David Petraeus, who flew half way around the world to address battle issues-she did NOT ask him about SOLAR-POWERED STREET LIGHTS! Oh, yes she did!" he wrote in a column titled, "Arizona's Rep. Giffords goes moonbat on Petraeus."
According to the Arizona Daily Star, the congresswoman's question also became an issue in her reelection campaign when GOP primary candidate Jonathan Paton put out a press release that claimed Giffords wanted to know what Petraeus was doing "to reduce carbon emissions while fighting terrorists."
"Of all the things we need to be worrying about, that's her main focus?" Paton, an Arizona state senator, said in the statement. "Our soldiers are in harms way, and she's worried about solar panels."
Giffords pushed back against Paton, saying he "completely fails to understand why our nation's top military leaders consider our dependence on fuel a strategic disadvantage, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan."
"Even Osama bin Laden recognizes the threat posed by our military's dependence on fuel supply, calling oil our military's 'umbilical cord' and telling terrorists to 'focus your operations on oil, especially in Iraq and the Gulf area, since this will cause the [Americans] to die off,'" Giffords said.
Two years ago, I sat on the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Energy Strategy, which took testimony and wrote a report, More Fight "" Less Fuel, on how energy efficiency and renewables makes sense "" and can save lives "" for the military. The findings are here.
There is no question whatsoever that Gifford was right. Indeed, the military is quite concerned about this issue. Even Joint Chiefs chair Mullen gave a long speech on "achieving energy security in a sustainable world" in which he noted "A fully burdened cost of diesel fuel approached $400 a gallon."
Giffords also criticized Paton for issuing a hastily written press release for political gain, citing the misspelling of the word 'soldier' in the statement. (Paton lost in the GOP primary.)
The three-term congresswoman is one of the most vocal advocates for solar power and has championed more federal help overall for renewable energy.
But she's been a regular target of conservatives in her district. Video from a July 2009 tea party rally in Tucson available on YouTube shows conservatives carrying signs calling Giffords a 'cap n traitor' for her vote on the House global warming bill.
Bill Thornton, a local Sierra Club activist in Tucson, told POLITICO that Giffords deserves credit for supporting the 2009 House climate change bill despite the political risks. "It was all risk and no reward," he said.
Giffords, he added, also did a solid job defending herself against the attacks from conservatives critical of her question about the military's energy use. "It's a vital security issue," said the 67-year old retired safety consultant. "Her opponents tried to hit her with that a couple of times, pointing the finger at her, saying she's just another hippie tree hugger and she doesn't know what's going on. It really backfired."
Let's hope Giffords make a full recovery and join the President today in the moment of silence to honor the victims.
NOTE: Please keep the comments civil. This is NOT WattsUpWithThat.

I wish all the best and a speedy recovery for Gifford.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this post Joe, particularly the opening sentence. When I first heard about this shooting tragedy, I was very tempted to lay the blame on the Tea Party or Right-wing hate speech promoters. But remembering the Discovery Channel incident, I became very angry when people attempted to use that to smear environmentalists and the clean energy campaign.
As tempting as it may be to blame groups I disagree with, right now I'll have to fault the shooter and only the shooter, at least until more facts are revealed. Thank you for reminding me of that.
@ Joe
You're being talked about here:

John Gibbons' latest (http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2010/1209/1224285097273.html) is akin to the creationists' God-created-fossils-to-test-our-faith. Joe Romm is another example.
The vast majority of academics in climate research are proper scientists.
[JR: Yes the discredited bunch does talk!]
Daniel, I have no hesitation laying part of the blame on right wing hate speech as inciting the shooter, even though he's clearly mentally disturbed – and neither does Juan Cole:
I also blame the right-wing NRA for the ludicrous accessibility of firearms. The USA is unique in developed countries for the number of weapons possessed by civilians.
There is no reason to feel obligated to make a false equivalence between blaming liberals for extremism and blaming ultra-conservatives.
There are plenty of facts already available, and more will no doubt emerge as the investigation continues.
a funny comment and video from palingates:
"For the benefit of most MSM reporters, who have long since forgotten, here's how it works.
If a democrat or liberal is shot at point blank range in the head, you can presume the gunman is a lunatic from the right side of the fence.
If a republican or conservative is shot at point blank range in the head, by someone other than Dick Cheney, you can presume the gunman is a lunatic from the left side of the fence.
While the gunman may be shooting at someone he supports, just to confuse you, don't feel bad, you seemed clueless all along.
This ends Lesson 1 of Journalism for Dummies. Thank you."
I agree, Gail. The press is spinning it as "don't dare call this a political act", just like the "don't ever connect a weather event to climate change". The killer is crazy, but was also pumped up by right wing demagogues, and his actions were political.
Giffords' opponent in Congress, Mr. Kelly, held a rally urging supporters to shoot M 16's in the air to show their support for his election.
There are some scary political currents out there, many of them encouraged by people like David Koch and Glenn Beck.
can't help but think of the President's post election words:
"There are just some terrific members of Congress who took really tough votes because they thought it was the right thing, even though they knew this could cause them political problems, and even though a lot of them came from really tough swing districts or majority-Republican districts. The amount of courage and conviction that they showed is something that I admire so much I can't overstate it."
DOD-DOE news conference from July 2010 makes it perfectly clear why Rep. Giffords inquiry was so important.
In the nearly three hour presentation (available online at link below), especially pertinent info is at time stamp 1:55 by Robin Eckstein from Operation Free.
@Wit's End:
On Politico, Katherine Benton-Cohen observes that "Even Tombstone had gun laws." She notes that the historic silver-mining town 70 miles from Tucson prohibited the carrying of concealed weapons within city limits — in sharp contrast to today's Arizona.
I think hate-speech, from whatever corner of the political boxing-ring, is in almost every case unjustifiable (I can forgive people whose neighbourhood has just been bombed for getting very hot under the collar – it's the casual stuff that is obscene)….
Cheers – John
The first person who unsheathed a machete in Rwanda was probably also not of sound mind. But the rhetoric on the radio at that time was pure poison. And environmental resource problems added to the pressures. The truth is a mix of both yes, and no, my friends.
350 Now and #8 WRT Robin Eckstein's points.
That is spot on, except I would change '…it is an American issue' to '…it is a world issue'.
Paton and Beck should be sent on one of those fuel supply missions in Afghanistan and after that to Antarctica to find out what is happening to the Pine Island glacier and at Palmer Station, then on to Australia to help out in the flood aftermath and not forgetting a stay in Pakistan to see how people there have not yet recovered. A visit to Haiti could also be instructive for them. Whilst in these places they should be forced to survive as those already there are trying to.
I think the following article might resonate with many CP readers: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/09/giffords-shooting-political-violence-polarised
> I don't tend to think you can draw any broader conclusions from the acts of one demented, violent individual…
But what are the chances that one, disenfranchised, unhinged individual could be influenced by a constant barrage of violent, gun-laden rhetoric and that he believes all of his problems are a result of those "anti-American, non-patriotic, socialist, tree-hugging, elitists who want to destroy America with renewable energy"?
Gabrielle Giffords: "The thing is, the way that she [Sarah Palin] has it depicted — the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district — when people do that, they've got to realise that there's consequences for that action."
In a country awash with guns, using language like that and "second amendment remedies" (Sharon Angle) and "I want people armed and dangerous" (Michele Bachmann) is a sure-fire (pun intended) road to violent action.
The right wing / Teabaggers have been *very* active in the last 48 hours pushing the "lone crazy gunman" narrative. It's not persuasive if you examine the weight of evidence. Palin, Bachmann, Beck, Limbaugh, et al have blood on their hands. They should be called out for it – or just wait for it to happen again.
Here in the UK most of us find the USA very strange. A country with no official religion where an athiest could not be elected to anything. A country where free health care for all is regarded as treasonable. A 'land of the free' where there can be 'UnAmerican activities'. As for guns ….. most of our cops carry no more than a baton. Capital punishment? We grew up.
Churchill was right when he said we were 'two nations divided by a common language'.
Still, you are a new country. We've been the UK for 300 years, England for 1100, and my bit was Mercia for 300 years before that.
Sadly I fear this tragedy will divide you more, not bring you together.
'I don't tend to think you can draw any broader conclusions from the acts of one demented, violent individual…'
Progressives should think very carefully before launching along these lines. First, the situation is still very raw, and second, they'll only be talking to themselves, and where's the value in that? Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and it had been a deranged young man with a gun and a history of activism with Earth First! or even the Sierra Club. Wouldn't the American Left be saying precisely the same thing as the Right is now? That this is just the action of a lone nut?
That said, this sickeningly violent act does bring home the astonishing level of acrimony over something that most everybody else in the developed world takes for granted: universal health care. Here in Australia, the common feeling—even, I dare say, amongst many on the right—is that there is something strange and unhinged about America that intelligent people, including the working class folks in the Tea Party movement, should equate a decent health care system with tanks on the streets or words to that effect.
Oh yes, and then there's the whole gun thing… I hope—but I seriously doubt—that this will make the pro-firearm lobby think again.
My thoughts are with the victims and their families. Giffords sounds like a first-class public servant.
Michael, speaking as another Australian who's watched US gun laws, publicity, reactions for 40+ years, hoping that the pro-firearm lobby will think again is futile.
The weirdness that is USA attitudes on this issue will have to be *defeated* by sensible US citizens getting together in a very big way and being very persistent for a very long time – to even begin to get policies anywhere near what the rest of the civilised Western nations regard as reasonable.
People who can equate their Christianity with their "right" to wear a gun in the pocket of their apron while they cook dinner are beyond reason. There are people who make money selling such aprons.
Open-mouthed awe is the only possible response.
Does anyone else find it a strange coincidence that the obligatory lone, deranged, assassin has a name that could be pronounced 'Loner'? After all these assassins must always be lone killers, by definition, even when the scenario is frankly ludicrous as in the JFK murder, and even more compellingly, that of his brother.
I think that you are in for rocky times as the system collapses. The guns business is a disaster waiting to explode. The human capacity for demented viciousness is evident in your unfortunate southern neighbour, being crucified on the cross of drug prohibition. I was amazed, but not surprised, to see the venom and vituperation of the Right in reaction to the unremarkable observations that their ranting hatemongering might have something to do with this atrocity. In this country the amount of hatred and fear that is pounded into the public by the Rightwing media, the talkback psychos and the legion of Rightist columnists in particular, is something amazing. Its effects are becoming more and more evident in lack of civility, pushiness, aggression ('glassing' ie smashing a glass into someone's face while drunk or intoxicated on drugs, once a once-in-a-lifetime horror is now increasingly common)etc, although society hasn't passed a tipping-point, yet. But I tell you I wouldn't like to be a Moslem, an Aborigine or, increasingly, an active environmentalist, in this country.
I don't know why Americans get so upset about these events. Ensuring your society is awash with guns will mean this type of thing happens with regular monotony – and it does. Where are all these gun-toting patriots when stuff like this happens?? Are they around to quickly shoot dead the perpetrator and save lives? Do we even want armed citizens shooting it out on the streets? Of course not.
I don't think Americans really understand just how bizarre they appear to the rest of the civilised world in regard to guns. If you urge the citizenry to arm yourselves in case the federal government erodes your rights then this betrays a fundamental distrust of your fellow citizens and your own system of government. Here in Australia and the UK and Europe we do not have weapons toted around freely by anyone who wants to do it, yet our countries have not been taken over by communists, forcibly socialised or turned into dictatorships for want of an armed citizenry to take on the despot.
Charlton Heston was famous for his "from my cold, dead hands" line when defending the right to bear arms. There's six people in an Arizona morgue with cold. dead hands that sure as hell didn't deserve it. Pres Obama called it mindless violence, how true. When there are so many mentally disturbed people wandering the streets AND with easy access to guns, what do you honestly expect to happen, and keep happening?
@15. Michael:
> Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and it had been a deranged young man with a gun and a history of activism with Earth First! or even the Sierra Club. Wouldn't the American Left be saying precisely the same thing as the Right is now?
Have the Sierra Club been running a campaign full of violent rhetoric with gun-laden imagery? Has any organisation or individual on the left been doing that? I'm not aware of any. In comparison, it's just daily routine for the rightwingers – they *love* the concept of violent action… but now they've got it, they're doing their best to portray this as "crazed loner". If the sane majority in the US let that happen, the Teabaggers will just resume their vile campaign once the headlines have changed to something else.
Man with gun at Obama rally and coded sign calling for violent action – that is not *sane*, but it's cherished and protected by many Americans. Mix it with The Wing-Nut Code: What Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin Are Really Saying to Their Followers and the obscenity that took place in Tucson was inevitable… and will happen again.
I think it was CBS that earlier today reported on a poll indicating that only about a third of Americans believe that hate speech had anything to do with the shooting.
In any case, you can certainly see that many people have an overly simplistic, monocausal view of the mind that tends to deny the complex interactions of biology, psychology, and importantly from a political perspective, the effects of social pressure. The typical view is a very elementary received moralism, just so long as it doesn't make one feel bad about indulging in ones right to to spew the basest speech.
Neither introspective, nor socially aware.
Which is just to say that although you can't necessarily connect an individual's behavior to hate speech, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have an effect– anymore than you can predict individual weather events from the climate.
That said, incitement doesn't have to be explicit to be real (dog whistle).
@DavidCOG: I sympathize with your sentiments but my point is not that the Tea Party, et al. are led (and to a large extent, inhabited) by drongos; they plainly are. My point is that running the line that this shooting is their fault won't do any good whatsoever. You're preaching to the converted. Those people won't suddenly turn around and say 'Gee, I was wrong all along. That Obama not such a bad guy after all.'
And no, the Sierra Club are not advocates of violence, though Earth First! have certainly advocated a kind of violence in the past. Nutters inhabit many organizations; on the left as well as the right. My point here is that we need to be careful about the message we (progressives) send, lest it come back to haunt us.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Before we get to the food, I have to start out with a big GO DAWGS! We were in Athens for the UGA vs Kentucky game, our final SEC game of the season, where we clinched the SEC East Champions title. It's wasn't pretty, but a Win is a Win!
We actually made reservations for Gymnopedie during the game last week (it was a boring game) after looking on Happy Cow to see what options were in the area. I have the app and it's really handy when I want to try something new.
Instead of eating dinner "retired people" early, we made "slightly old people" reservations for 6:30PM. We headed to get a few drinks at Trappeze before dinner. I had a not-so-good experience here a few months ago, but the bartenders were wonderful this time around and the selection of beers is always fantastic.
This is when I discovered that my SD card in my nice camera was at home – dang! Of all the nights to leave that sitting in the computer… So I apologize now for the less-than-stellar phone pictures.
Gymnopedie is a tiny, 12-seat restaurant located outside of downtown Athens. It's run by Sarah Dunning, who is also the "chef/ baker/ pastisser/ webmaster/ dishcleaner/ eventsguru/ sommelier". We got the chance chat with her throughout the meal, which really added to our amazing experience! Here's an excerpt from the website about the concept:
Each month we create a small tasting menu, consisting of 6-8 dishes that can be ordered as a series or a la carte. The dishes orient around distinct seasonal flavors. We want you to experience clean, fresh flavors; seasoned with a delicate touch. Some dishes will be completely new to you while others are classics. It's a culinary adventure in your own backyard — designed to pique your curiosity and satisfy your senses.
On Sarah's recommendation, we decided to get one of each dish and shared them all. Coincidentally, this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a dinner – lots of small plates and lots of sharing! We also split a bottle of Croix Blanche, which was made with a grape we were both unfamiliar with (and I cannot remember!). It was a nice, crisp white that paired well with our entire meal.
The meal began with a pickle plate of onions, green beans, and beets (I think!). The flavors were light and the vegetables really shone through. Each had a nice crisp, not the soft texture you get out of a bottle.
The Main Courses were next, Edamame Salad and Pumpkin Pot Stickers and Local Bok Choy in a Gingered Mushroom Broth. The Edamame Salad was small, but was much more filling than it looked. The Pumpkin Pot Stickers were my favorite of the two, but I am a bit obsessed with all things pumpkin.
Final course is dessert – which I had been looking forward to! I am a huge fan of Mochi, something I never can find these days. You'd think they'd have this more often at Japanese restaurants, but they rarely do. According to Wikipedia, Mochi is made from glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. It's a very chewy consistency which is hard to imagine if you've never tried it. My mom used to bring these treats back from Japan when she flew international routes (she was a Flight Attendant) and it was my favorite treat!!
Getting back to this dessert, we had the Red Bean Mochi and Chocolate Ganache Torte. The Mochi was perfect, yum! The Chocolate Ganache Torte was decadent and you the Almond Crust was a great accent flavor. The "ice cream" was made with real mint, which I've apparently never had before. It was such a fresh, clean flavor – truly minty. I never realized how used to artificial mint flavors I have become.
I love vegan restaurants, because I don't have to think or play 20 questions about what's in my dinner. It's such a relaxing experience to just enjoy and know that I'm eating whole foods, filled with nutrients, and no one was harmed in the process.
Gymnopedie was beyond even that, because it was an overall great experience. The intimate setting, beautiful presentation (which I'll capture better next time with a "real" camera), and friendly service was over the top. Whether you eat a plant-based diet or just like good food, I highly recommend adding this one to your list! The menu changes monthly, so I think it will be easy to have another excuse to head back to Athens without a football game.
By the way, I was not paid or compensated in any way for this review. I did mention to Sarah at the end of dinner that I would be writing up a review, but that was after the meal was over.
Question of the Day – What are your favorite flavors recently, either eating in or out? Kirk has been making fun of my pumpkin obsession recently, although he still gobbles up any pumpkin-flavored concoction.

Shumlin: Rail safety something to 'look at'July 19,2013MONTPELIER-Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says that following the rail disaster in Quebec, the state's tracking of what travels through Vermont by train is "certainly something we should look at."
Vermont currently has no routine inspections for tracks, leaving that to the Federal Railroad Administration. It also does not track the type of cargo that is shipped through the state.
Questions about rail safety have come to the fore since a July 6 accident in which a train carrying oil derailed and barreled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. At least five of the train's cars exploded and officials say 50 people were killed.
Shumlin says rail is important to Vermont's economy, but the state has a duty to ensure public safety.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

For over ten years, Polaris has provided direct services to more than 700 survivors of human trafficking to help them rebuild their lives. Our Client Services program in Washington, D.C. works with both U.S. and foreign-born survivors of both sex and labor trafficking, including men and women, adults and children, and individuals who identify as LGBTQ. Polaris provides comprehensive clinical case management and counseling to ease the effects of trauma, support groups, educational and enrichment programs, access to housing, and job readiness assistance.
How We Help
Community Collaborations
Polaris partners with local social services providers to offer holistic care to human trafficking victims and survivors in D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland. Polaris also works in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia, local police departments, and federal government agencies to better address the needs of potential victims. In addition, Polaris is an active member of the D.C. Human Trafficking Task Force, the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force, and the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force.
Crisis Response Team
Polaris provides limited 24-hour crisis response in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Teams provide emotional support, legal advocacy, emergency housing coordination, transportation assistance, and critical social services support.
Therapeutic Services
Polaris provides individual and group therapy for victims of human trafficking. Our staff work with clients on an individual basis using a variety of therapeutic modalities based on the needs and comfort level of the individual. We also work with survivors in groups for group counseling, allowing clients to support each other in the healing process.
Case Management
We work closely with every Polaris client to identify their individual needs and goals and to create a custom plan to address these needs holistically. Clients meet regularly with a case manager to receive support to achieve these goals, and to modify their plans as needs change. A case manager may help a client find food and clothing, obtain government benefits, receive health services, access classes, or even support them through criminal justice proceedings against their trafficker. Recently, an independent external evaluation of Polaris's services found that clients routinely mentioned that our Client Services team feels like family.
Empowerment and Enrichment Workshops
We hold empowerment and life skills workshops weekly. They are open to all survivors of human trafficking. These groups provide a positive and supportive environment for clients to discuss topics such as relationships, careers, transitions, as well as to attend skill building workshops on topics like budgeting, nutrition, exercise, or goal setting.
Drop-In Center
Our Washington, D.C. office offers a drop-in center for current clients in the local area. This center provides a safe and welcoming place for clients where they can feel at home. Clients can come to the office without an appointment to use the computers, use the phone to call potential employers, receive donated clothing and household items, eat and interact with staff and other clients, practice language skills, receive emotional support, or simply rest and relax.

Title of work
41-60 / Total: 134
Evil people are also benefiting from the blessings God gives to Muslims. I mean originally those blessings are not for them, they are created for sincere Muslims and these people are benefiting from them on the side. In the Hereafter, those blessings will be taken out of their reach.
Some people tend to see Muslims easy just because they know they are inoffensive, compassionate and decent people. But because they know how unbelievers could react, they are always more leery against unbelievers.
God bestows bad-tempered, grumpy, snappish people whom everyone hates upon those people with darkened hearts. And He bestows loving, radiant people whose hearts are full of love and compassion to Muslims, to people with beautiful manners, to people who love others. That is how it is in this world and that is how it will be in the Heaven.
A Muslim would pick the side of Islam if he/she is forced to pick sides in between irreligion and Islam. A Muslim cannot be impartial; he would then be staved off.
It might appear that one could mix unbelief with Islam, but the fact is that they do not go together. When unbelief is mixed with anything else it creates a poison; it brings about inauspiciousness. God would quietly make such people collapse physically and spiritually.
Unbelievers might sometimes say that - May God forbid- "Muslims are acting in a gullible fashion". Actually they [Muslims] are the wise ones; they are the ones doing the most reasonable. With faith auspiciousness comes to their lives, they become more beautiful inside and out. Even their organs rejoice in faith; people rejoice in faith inside and out. Their eyes, their gaze becomes meaningful; their expressions become meaningful; their mind, their foresight is opened with faith, their speech becomes beautiful.
There is nothing good in disbelief. There is only perversion, filth, disloyalty, treachery, improper speech and intolerance in disbelief. You talk to a person and in two hours you see that he is acting treacherously. There is a sense of stability in Muslims. They are steady and reliable now and will be steady and reliable in two hours, in ten days, in a year, in twenty years, all for the good pleasure of God.
There is no reliability and soundness in disbelief. You talk to a man and then you see him go and do something atrocious. They act in perversion and do something stupid. They want to approach you only insofar as they see you may serve their interest. When they have no personal gain in being with you, they refrain from coming near you. Actually in Islam, there is the concept of one being a servant of God without asking for any personal gain. Muslims live by that and thus attain constant reliability and decency.
One should not emulate unbelief. There is no peace, no loyalty, no real friendship in the system of unbelief. The unbelievers would bring ruin or harm to you the minute they see a conflict of their interest, they would give you up the minute their interests end. You would then be living in a bitter world in which disloyalty runs rampant. The unbelievers could even act treacherous to you right when they wake up. You wouldn't have a guarantee for two hours of peace. With unbelievers you might face a completely different personality in two hours.
Unbelievers are only your friends when they have an interest in being so. They turn into your enemies when their interest in you ends but that is not the case in Islam. In Islam there is patience, there is compassion.
There is a rage in the hearts of some people towards people of faith. For instance, they behave perfectly respectful towards a profane person and speak in a very appraising fashion with them. But when they come across a Muslim they feel a strange, evil rage; that is an evil instinct one should seek refuge in God. But of course that is something in favor of a Muslim. It enables Muslims to attain good deeds every minute, every hour without doing anything.
Some people can act very audaciously towards Muslims. Actually Muslims are the ones who should be respected and loved. One can only feel a measure of compassion towards profane people with the aim of saving them.
Muslims should look for power and honor in Truth. Actually Muslims are the ones one should look with honor. They should show respect and reverence towards them, not towards those in disbelief.
There is no freedom for cursing. No one should say, "I have the freedom of cursing, I have the freedom to insult others." Everyone has freedom of speech but there is no such thing as freedom to insult. If one says I want to curse anyway, the law gets hold of him.
When an unbeliever looks at a Muslim, God creates a shade before his eyes. They become unable to see the beauty there. They keep saying, "These ones are unable to live their lives to the fullest."
The PKK became rabid on one hand, the hypocrites became rabid on the other and the unbelievers became rabid. They are attempting to do all sorts of vileness. Muslims should behave very temperate and very reasonable. They should be aware of the fact that God is the Creator of all movements. They should see the good in everything and act patiently and reasonably according to the Qur'an and respond accordingly.
The People of Hell are specifically created. I mean they are special beings that are bereft of guidance. They are created with the character of disbelievers.
Radicals see Islam as unsavory in their own minds. Actually joy and happiness is Islam; Islam is a beauty. But these people consider joy and happiness as unsavory. That makes it a sort of the spirit of unbelievers.
A Muslim, a devout person might have difficulties in understanding satan but the disbeliever thoroughly knows the satan. A Muslim wouldn't have such cooperation, such a connection with satan. That is because Muslim wins every time, and thus he takes no account of satan. For instance, he behaves patiently whenever there is something to be patient about, he never stoops to egoism on occasions one might behave egotistically.
Satan obtains results rapidly in unbelievers. I mean he gets very fast results one after the other. He can escalate anger to the highest levels instantly so much so that one person goes and shoots another. He makes them persecute others instantly or be disloyal in a moment.

Austin Mudd isn't simply running verbal circles when expressing his desire to be a Big Ten champion.
It's an athletics distinction that so far has eluded the University of Wisconsin junior, and it comes back into play in three weeks.
In Mudd's home state, no less.
Purdue University will host the Big Ten Men's/Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 16 to 18, an engraved invitation of sorts for the former Center Grove High School middle-distance specialist.
"I've yet to win an individual Big Ten title, so that would be a nice accomplishment," said Mudd, who finished fourth in the 800-meter run at the past two conference meets in times of 1:48.35 (2012) and 1:51.25 (2013).
"I've run the 800s both years at the Big Ten Meets, so I'm guessing that's what I'll be running this time."
Mudd's reputation as one of college track's premier 1,500-meter runners is well established after blazing a personal-best 3:40.87 at Stanford University's Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational as a freshman. Last June he took fourth at the NCAA Championships in 3:50.84 to earn All-American honors.
Unfortunately, Mudd's 2014 indoor track season proved somewhat abbreviated due to Achilles tendinitis in his right foot.
He still managed highlights, namely placing second in the 800 at the Big Ten Indoor Meet in 1:49.56 and seventh at the Tyson Invitational hosted by the University of Arkansas in 1:50.67.
"My foot started to hurt around Thanksgiving break, and I basically took a month off. I wasn't working out or anything," Mudd said. "It started to feel better over Christmas break, but I was just running myself back into shape at that point."
Earlier this month, Mudd made his 2014 outdoor debut by placing 15th in the 800 at the Florida Relays in Jacksonville in 1:50.77.
More recently he posted a 3:41.61 — a time tied for second-fastest in the nation this season — to take second in the 1,500 at the Long Beach Invitational. The following day, Mudd took the runner-up spot in the 800 in 1:49.79.
"Now that I'm healthy again, that 3:41 was pretty encouraging," Mudd said.
For an athlete who doesn't turn 21 until May, Mudd's scroll of collegiate honors is already impressively long: twice All-Big Ten, twice Second Team All-American, twice First Team All-American.
He's also taken part in the 400-meter dash, the 1,600 relay and the distance medley relay over the course of his outdoor track career. Other indoor events have included the 400- and 600-meter runs along with the mile.
"Expectations on someone as successful as Austin coming into college were high. There is a perception that success in high school means immediate success in college. The reality for a lot of high school stars can be different," Wisconsin men's track coach Mick Byrne said.
"Austin has shown us what he's capable of throughout his time here at Wisconsin, and the nation has seen that several times through his great performances. I'm excited for what I believe Austin can achieve this year."
Mudd remains focused on helping the sixth-ranked Badgers in their quest to excel at upcoming regional and national venues. However, he can't help but keep one eye on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Mudd would be 23 and, hopefully, in his competitive prime.
"I definitely want to give it a shot. I couldn't even imagine (representing the U.S.). The most important part is just staying healthy. It's real easy to get lazy with icing and stretching," Mudd said.
He then added, laughing, "But I just had a hill workout this morning and feel like an 80-year-old man."
Mudd was far from that 80-year-old on the June afternoon in 2011 when he and classmates Nick Stoner (Indiana University) and Kyle Schwartz (University of Indianapolis) and sophomore Conner Stapleton (Notre Dame) led the Trojans to a state team championship.
Mudd's winning times in both the 800-meter run (1:49.25) and 1,600-meter run (4:03.00) remain state standards by comfortable margins.
"It feels like it was a while ago, but I still think about it quite often. It was so awesome to accomplish that with my teammates," he said.

Is there any way to buy Ultra Balls before you fight Suicune? I found like 4 in-game but already used 2 of them before reaching Suicune & Great Balls aren't doing it at all. Is there any city with a store that sells them?
EDIT: Disregard this part, caught Suicune with a Great Ball.
