I am very familiar with questions of retirement, having made the decision to ride off gracefully into the sunset several years ago. For the youngsters out there, before you reach such a monumental decision, have a plan for what you are going to do. Watching FoxNews or CNN until the cocktail hour is not a plan. Which brings us to Peyton Manning, who wisely took the advice of this column and its multitude of readers and decided to retire from the NFL. So now the question is: "What's he going to do?"
by Jim W. Miller
I saw Saints GM Mickey Loomis at the driving range the day before he headed to Indianapolis for the NFL Combine. The league's annual exercise in poking, prodding, digging and jabbing the latest crop of surefire, can't miss pheee-noms ideally will turn every moribund franchise into winners. Loomis presides over the local chapter of moribundity, a team that has missed the playoffs three of the past four years.
The Super Bowl last Sunday once again drew a massive television audience, although slightly lower than record set for last year's game. For many non-football fans, the highlight of the telecast is the halftime show. After the controversy of Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004, the NFL started booking legendary rock performers like Paul McCartney to perform at halftime.

NFL teams are filled with stories, most of them about good and bad coaches, good and bad players, and general managers whose reputations are determined by how many of each they hire. But one guy whose head is usually just beneath the line of fire is the public relations director, or "PR" man.
The sports media has been in a tizzy covering the scandal known as "deflate gate." After it was discovered that 11 of the 12 footballs used by the New England Patriots in their playoff game against the Colts were deflated, the media speculation has been intense about whether the Patriots purposely altered the footballs in an attempt to gain an advantage. Their coach, Bill Belichick, and the team's quarterback, Tom Brady, have been peppered with questions. While they both have denied responsibility, the NFL and media investigation is continuing.
Random thoughts on the Saints' woeful start while wondering what is happening to the game I love?
It should not have taken a new elevator video for the NFL to indefinitely suspend running back Ray Rice. It should have happened after the first video was released of Rice dragging his unconscious girlfriend, Janay Palmer, from a casino elevator. At that time, it should have been apparent to everyone that Rice punched his girlfriend since she walked into the elevator, but was dragged out.
As another season of professional football excitement begins, it is becoming crystal clear that the NFL is beholden to a politically correct liberal agenda.
It seems the politically correct liberals in charge of the NFL are admirers of communism. In Red China, Cambodia, Vietnam and other countries communist tyrants forced citizens into re-education camps to "enlighten" their subjects about the wonderful "benefits" of totalitarianism.
Somewhere in the darkened burrows beneath the NFL's Park Avenue offices sits a secret room. It probably was created from a subterranean tunnel originally dug to house George Washington's armory when the British attacked Manhattan in 1776 or maybe it was the test holes for the subway system first dug in 1869. No matter, today it is used for creating images of what the NFL wishes us to see at their biggest events. Before the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos players checked into their hotels to prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII, they were secretly herded into the Image Room and given their instructions.

NY-LA flight diverted to DC over door problem
CHANTILLY, Va. An American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles has made an unscheduled stop in Washington.
Courtney Mickalonis, a spokeswoman for Dulles International Airport, says the plane landed safely at 12:40 p.m.
American spokesman Tim Smith says Flight No. 3 from Kennedy Airport made the detour because a cockpit warning light showed that one of the rear cargo doors was not fully secure. He says mechanics are dealing with the problem, and the plane should continue on its way shortly.
The Boeing 767-200 is carrying 152 passengers.

October is national pizza month! I don't remember where I read that or if it is even legit but who cares, it's a good enough excuse to make some pizza!
After finding that I still have high cholesterol, I have a renewed motivation to eat a bit healthier… of course, this would normally clash with my big plans to celebrate national pizza month but I found a way to make it work. I WON'T give up my pizza.
Instead of making normal pizza dough I decided to inject a little (well, a lot actually) of fiber by making a honey wheat dough. The grocery store was out of regular whole wheat flour so I had to buy an itty bitty bag of fancy, expensive stone ground whole wheat flour. In the end, I was really happy with the purchase. The stone ground flour has a lot more texture and flavor than regular whole wheat flour. Feel free to use either one in the recipe.
Some people shrug off making 50/50 wheat/white breads and doughs thinking it won't make enough of a difference. Well, according to the nutrition label on my stone ground flour, 1/4 cup contains 4g of fiber. I used a whole cup in the recipe which means that I injected 16 grams of fiber into the pizza or 2 grams per slice (if cut into 8)… and that's just the dough, not the vegetable toppings. I think that is significant.
Regardless of the fiber content, I like this dough WAY better than my original pizza dough recipe. It is fluffier with a crisper crust. It was just perfect.
Honey Wheat Pizza Dough
- 1 cup whole wheat flour $0.25
- 1½ – 2 cups all purpose flour (divided) $0.14
- 1 cup water $0.00
- 2 Tbsp honey $0.21
- 2 tsp yeast $0.19
- 3 Tbsp olive oil $0.30
- 1½ tsp salt $0.05
- In a small bowl, stir together the water (warm), honey and yeast. Let it sit 3-5 minutes or until very frothy on top.
- Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture. Next, stir one cup of whole wheat flour into the wet ingredients until evenly mixed. Stir in the all purpose flour, ½ cup at a time, until you can no longer stir it with a spoon.
- Turn the ball of dough out onto a floured surface and continue to add in and knead the all purpose flour until the ball of dough is stretchy and soft but not sticky (about 3-5 minutes). The total amount of flour needed will depend on how much moisture is already in your flour but it should be between 1-2 cups of all purpose flour.
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray and place the ball of dough inside. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let sit for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- To shape the dough, remove it from the bowl it was rising in and place it on a floured surface. Press the dough down into a large circle. This should be fairly easy since it was pretty circular in shape as it rose. Next, pick the dough up with your hands and transfer it to a pizza pan (coated in non-stick spray or sprinkled with corn meal). Press the dough out even further until it reaches the edges of the pan. Alternatively, you can pick the dough up and stretch it with your fists (this can take practice).
- Top the pizza then bake in a fully preheated, 450 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step By Step Photos
Combine the warm water, yeast and honey in a bowl. Stir it up and let it sit until frothy.
Add the olive oil and salt and stir in.
Start by stirring in one cup of whole wheat flour.
Then, working with 1/2 cup at a time, add the all purpose flour until you can no longer stir it with a spoon.
This is what it looked like when I could no longer stir in flour with a spoon. A loose ball of dough.
Turn the ball of dough out onto a floured surface and knead in the rest of the flour. Keep adding/kneading in flour until the dough is no longer sticky but still soft and stretchy (about 3 minutes and 1.5-2 cups total flour).
Form the dough into a ball. Oil a bowl and place the dough inside to rise. Let rise until double (about 45 min).
Here is the risen dough. Exciting, I know.
To shape the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface and press it down into a large circle with your hands. Either pick it up and stretch it with your fists or transfer it to your pizza pan and press it out further until it fits the pan.
Coat your pan with either corn meal or non-stick spray so that it doesn't stick. Preheat the oven to 450.
Top the pizza and bake it for about 15 minutes at 450 degrees or until nicely browned around the edges.
Then dig in!!
I'm not going to let this high cholesterol get me down! A super fiber-ific pizza (with reduced fat cheese) and a glass of wine with dinner every night is a rather enjoyable way to take control of the stituation… if I do say so myself :D

I've only recently gotten adept at kneading bread (blame lack of counter space until now) but now that I am I've been looking for the right pizza dough recipe (one with some fiber so I feel less guilty) and this is it. I made this last night and it turned out beautifully.
I read a comment that said it made a bit too much for a regular sized pizza pan. Halving the recipe probably would not have made enough so I increased the quantities of everything by 50% then divided the resulting dough ball into two, and it turns out doing that made two perfectly sized crusts for a normal pizza pan. So not only did I make delicious pizza last night but I have another dough ball in the freezer to pull out any time I want.
Me and my sister love this crust! It was easy to make and I admit I was nervous making it since the last pizza crust I made was just terrible. This one came out perfect, very easy instructions and ingredients to work with.
Me and my sister combined your crust with Roasted Vegetable and Ricotta Pizza recipe at: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-vegetable-pizza-50400000111133/
Very excellent combo for a veggie pizza, it was better then the ones we would get at our farmer's market; and we loved that one!
This is the best pizza crust my family has ever eaten. My son described it as "bouncy".
I have been making scratch pizza crust for 3 or 4 years now. This is the best crust my family has ever eaten. My son described it as "bouncy".

Greate plugin, but too many ads on admin
But there is only one :(
And even that one will be removed soon.
haha ok.
The ads are on top of the banners page and the stats page is a huge fake image.
The point is we use plugins like your to our clients and they normally complain about that "non necessary stuff".
But it isn't so important. Keep up with the excelent job!
Look. Is possible to choose the order the banners will be shown? The input "order" is used only on admin. It is exactly what I want.
Looking forward.
Ah, like so...
The "ad" on top of the pages is me taking credit for my work.
If you don't like that there is always AdRotate Pro :)
And if you bought the pro-version than you'll also have ads in the backend...

Become a Sight Word Master with these Tips and Tricks
Sight word worksheets are a great resource for young readers and writers. Sight word worksheets make great activities on their own, but there are also tons of great exercises you can do to help your child learn sight words. Try our tips and tricks to make them most of sight word worksheets:
- Print out a set of sight word flash cards. Use the flash cards as a way to review sight words with your child when you're reading a book together. Skim through the book on your own to look for sight words. Pick out three words, and get their matching flash cards. Before you read the book, show your child the flash cards and read them with him. Give your child the flash cards, then begin reading the book. If your child hears or reads a sight word, he can hold up the flash card. At the end of the story, review the flash cards with your child.
- After your child has completed a sight word worksheet, go on a sight word hunt! Give your child a book or newspaper and see if he can find the worksheet's sight word in the text. For an extra bonus, challenge your child to find the sight word in three different spots, or have him read the sentence that contains the sight word.
- Keep a sight word list with your child. Each time your child learns five new sight words, challenge him to write a paragraph using all of the words. If he can complete the paragraph, give him a prize! Books make wonderful prizes for this challenge, and kids might also like other reading-related prizes, such as bookmarks or children's magazines. For more fun with reading, check out our reading worksheets.

Liberal Opinion Week
In response to charges that their field is churning out unreliable science, psychologists this month issued a defense that may be tough to dispute. At issue was a claim, published in the journal Science, that only 39 of 100 experiments published in psychology papers could be replicated. The counterpoint, also published in Science, questioned the assumption that the other 61 of the results must have been wrong.
If two experimental results are in conflict, who's to say the original one was wrong and not the second one? Or maybe both are wrong if, as some argue, there's a flaw in the way social scientists analyze data.
This is an important puzzle, given the current interest in drawing conclusions from huge sets of data. And it's not just a problem for psychologists. Researchers have also had trouble replicating experimental results in medicine and economics, creating what's been dubbed "the replication crisis."

Only days ago in Brussels, as Western leaders celebrated the arrest of a key terrorist suspect, Belgian officials warned that there were dozens more jihadists at large in the city and that more attacks were being planned. They couldn't have known how right they were.
I traveled to Brussels on March 16, to attend the German Marshall Fund's Brussels Forum, a meeting of U.S. and European officials, foreign policy experts and journalists, where the fight against terrorism was at the top of the agenda. Two senators and several Obama administration officials who attended had just passed through the main terminal of the Brussels airport. On Tuesday morning, it was hit by what Belgian authorities described as a suicide attack. At least 26 were killed and many more wounded at the airport, and in a parallel attack on the city's subway system.
In 2015, the United States spent $7.5 billion, more than three-quarters of its global health budget, to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. These, after all, are the "big three" infectious diseases, and they've ravaged developing-world populations. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people worldwide since 2000; in 2015, there were 214 million cases of malaria and almost 10 million tuberculosis diagnoses.
But thanks to an unlikely coalition -- including George W. Bush, Bill Gates and Bono -- the tide is turning. AIDS deaths peaked at 2 million in 2004 and have dropped 42 percent worldwide since. Deaths from malaria have declined by nearly half since 2000; the malaria death rate for children under 5 has decreased by more than two-thirds. Tuberculosis deaths have also declined by half since 1990. In short, the battle against these diseases is slowly being won.
What's more mandorable than Justin Trudeau cuddling pandas?
Why Adam LaRoche quitting over quality time with his son, of course.
What a great dad, the world mewed, when the first baseman tweeted #FamilyFirst after quitting because his bosses wanted to see less of his son at work.
LaRoche brought his 14-year-old son, Drake, to work. Constantly. The kid even had his own locker at spring training. The Chicago White Sox called Drake their 26th man. It was the same when he was with the Washington Nationals.
America loved seeing this dedicated father.
But let's be honest. LaRoche holds a rarefied position as a star baseball player. There's no way the average worker could pull this off, and certainly not a woman.
Let's say a dedicated mom brought her daughter to work with her every day. And she had a little desk next to mom's. And she's at every meeting, every conference, on every single call.
The election, regardless of its outcome, won't rid us of The Donald because the conditions that allowed the likes of this man to develop will still be with us. The Miami Herald's Leonard Pitts Jr. has put his finger right on the crux of the situation. It is a reflection of the society.
Mr. Pitts certainly hit a chord with me in listing the scourge of our society as economic insecurity, ignorance, bigotry, fear and apathy. With so many in our society entombed by such feelings it is no wonder they are so willing to embrace the loud-mouth candidate when he proclaims that he has a cure for anything that upsets us, that doesn't go our way. Of course to think that it is that easy is more than a little simplistic.
There are many in the society desperate to escape many of the conditions in which they find themselves. There are many others more than willing to exploit their alienation. The easy answers devoid of realism offered by the Republican Presidential candidates - especially The Donald - give the dissatisfied great solace.
I don't have hard numbers, but I would estimate that greater than 90 percent of dogs in the United States don't have jobs. There are "working dogs" -- seeing-eye dogs and so on -- but like the Dalmatian on the fire engine, that's more a function of indentured servitude than it is real employment. Those dogs are pets, who sit on fire engines or help people avoid potholes and such because they were trained to do so -- the way that every once in while you'll be shampooing your hair and realize that you always do it the exact same way. It's ingrained. It's not your job.
There's also the question of the extent to which dogs have free will, enabling at-will employment. "Do animals have free will?," Philosophers Magazine asked last summer, making sure to include a mention of Descartes as is legally required. The determination? "Maybe, idk," as is also legally required from philosophical essays.
My Washington Post colleague Joe Scarborough found himself the target of Internet ire earlier this week when he suggested that Hillary Clinton perhaps ought to look more cheerful after her sweep in Tuesday night's primaries. Charged with sexism, Scarborough defended himself on our website Wednesday, writing that he believes it's strategic for all politicians to appear happy after big wins.
"Women face longer odds, greater obstacles and more cultural barriers to the White House than do women in any other Western country," he argued. "Yet a political analyst's job is not to comment on what should be, but rather what is."
While I appreciate Scarborough's nod to the realities of American politics, I can't agree with him on that job description. And even if I did, it would be worth noting that complaints about how Clinton arranges her face or uses her voice are part of a problem in American politics that go beyond sexism. Increasingly, we seem uncomfortable with any sign of humanity in our candidates in a way that has real implications for our governance.
As I sat in the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C., earlier this month, waiting for Donald Trump's rally to start, my adrenaline began to rush. I knew I could be hurt for what I was about to do.
I'd driven three hours by myself that morning from college in southern Virginia to protest his campaign. For months, I'd been reading and watching coverage of Trump's rise. His rallies had become spaces where people felt comfortable being openly racist and hateful, because he allowed them to. And with his ugly rhetoric about Muslims, Mexicans and "the old days" before political correctness, he's encouraged it.
Vladimir Putin says he is withdrawing most Russian forces from Syria because his "objectives" have been achieved. How to judge that boast?
On such goals as keeping the dictator Bashar al-Assad in power, increasing Russian influence in the Middle East, restoring Moscow's seat at the table of global power, and sending a message of strength to Islamic extremists inside Russia's own borders, the jury is still out.
But it's not too early to consider Russian success on another front: showcasing military strength to potential adversaries, allies and arms buyers. "Essentially, Russia is using their incursion into Syria as an operational proving ground," retired Air Force Gen. David Deptula told the New York Times last year. And Moscow proved quite a bit.
The left and the right don't agree on much today. But it's easy to find a consensus that an excess of spin is ruining politics. Spin -- the deliberate crafting of words and images for political effect -- is everywhere, from the scripted laugh lines that candidates trot out in debates, to the artful circumlocutions of press secretaries, to the slick ads and viral videos that flicker across our screens.
Don't get spun, even about spin. Some of the conventional wisdom about the practice is false or exaggerated. Unpacking these five common misperceptions might help us to see more clearly the role that spin plays in our politics, for good and for ill -- and to think of it as something neither feared nor lamented, but more thoroughly appreciated and understood.
1. Spin is new to our times.

Jesse is rude and tells me there will not be a full refund, even though I cancelled within the first 2 days. Jesse refuses to help and starts sending very unprofessional emails. Then Jesse has his boss email me. [continued below]....
Please avoid this school. There are much better choices out there. Allied will lie to you and scam you. There is no honesty or integrity at this school. You have People like Carlson Samuel, Jr., Jesse Pompa, and even the school President George Achenbach , who will either lie to you and scam you, or will not even respond to your cancellation and refund request. They are the most rude and unprofessional people you will ever deal with. I was promised Books for every subject, and that is not true. Some materials are online only. I was told like the California course, there are DVDs included. Not true.
I was told I could cancell at anytime and get a full refund. Not true. They are saying they will not give me a full refund. They lied. Why would you want to go to school where there are such dihonest and people that will not stand behind their word and promises. Save the time and frustration. Avoid Allied. You will not have to be scammed and lied to by people like George Achenbach, Carlson Samuel, Jr., and Jesse Pompa. Their admission reps must be paid by the number of students they scam to sign up.

Murmurs Over Vasan 'Courtesy Visit' to Vijayakant's House
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 01st January 2014 07:54 AM
Last Updated: 01st January 2014 08:31 AM
Senior Congress leader and Union Shipping Minister G K Vasan met Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) founder Vijayakant at his residence on Tuesday evening, in what was described as a 'courtesy call'. Even as the meeting poured fuel on the flames of speculation that the Congress is going all out to co-opt the DMDK into its alliance for the Lok Sabha elections, Vasan's aides insisted that the two leaders did not discuss any political matters.
Vasan visited Vijayakant's residence in Virugambakkam, and is reported to have spent about 50 minutes there.
"The Minister went there to greet Vijayakant and his son, Shanmuga Pandian, for the announcement that Shanmuga Pandian is going to act in a movie. The Minister was not in town when the announcement was made and this was purely a courtesy call," said a close Vasan aide.
The aide insisted that the two leaders did not discuss politics. "They did not discuss even a single word of politics. They have been family friends for a very long time, so the minister went over in a personal capacity," said the aide.
The Congress has been isolated politically in the State, and has been reportedly going all out to add parties to its alliance. Vasan had said in a speech in September that the Congress would be happy to have the DMDK in its alliance. Political circles have also been awash with rumours that the DMDK is gravitating towards an alliance with the BJP.

"Fighting the Pledge in Schools", David Niose on Atheists Talk #286, October 19, 2014
David Niose is the past president of the American Humanist Association and legal director for the Appignani Humanist Legal Center. In 2012 and 2013 he argued in that a Massachusets law requiring teachers to lead the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional under the Massachusets constitution. In May 2014, the Massachusets Supreme Judicial Court finally ruled against the interests of atheist students in the matter, but Niose remains interested in the topic.
This Sunday, he joins Scott Lohman to talk about the case; his upcoming book, Fighting Back the Right: Reclaiming America from the Attack on Reason; and the AHA 2015 National Conference.

Column - Not the whole truth
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, August, 30, 2006, (6:06am)
It's bad enough that friends of Hezbollah terrorists could trick so many journalists with just a tall story and a rusty Lebanese ambulance.
Worse is that some of those journalists seemed so eager to believe this ambulance was indeed wickedly blown up by an Israeli missile fired straight through the big red cross on its roof—leaving not even a scorch mark.
But worst is that even now that this hoax has been exposed, none of the countless writers and commentators who fell for it have admitted to passing on as fact the propaganda of terrorists.
It is this refusal to admit that suggests there was an agenda, after all, to so much of the hysterical reporting of the war in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah.
(Click on title for full article)
No wonder Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer damned that coverage at a conference in Brisbane this week of Australian newspaper publishers: "What concerns me greatly is the evidence of dishonesty in the reporting out of Lebanon."
Downer could have picked half a dozen examples of that dishonesty—or of incompetence married to a bias. But few are as good as the Case of the Holey Ambulance.
It started on July 24, when Israel was already being accused by much of the Western media of carelessly killing Lebanese civilians. And it started with a cautious paragraph in a media release from the Lebanese Red Cross:
"According to Lebanese Red Cross reports, two of its ambulances were struck by munitions, although both vehicles were clearly marked by the Red Cross emblem and flashing lights that were visible at a great distance. The incident happened while first-aid workers were transferring wounded patients from one ambulance to another."
That same day, Cathy Gannon, a correspondent with the AP news agency, filed the first dramatic account of this latest example of Israeli badness.
She quoted a local Red Cross worker as saying Israeli jets had blasted two ambulances with rockets: "One of the rockets hit right in the middle of the big red cross that was painted on top of the ambulance."
Another worker showed Gannon video of the vehicles he said had been attacked. Gannon wrote that it showed "one large hole and several smaller ones in the roof of one ambulance and a large hole in the roof of the second". She added: "Both were destroyed."
Britain's ITV news promptly accused Israel of war crimes, and showed the same film, given to it by what it called a "local amateur cameraman". Who, exactly?
Britain's Left-wing Guardian added the colour: "(T)he blue light overhead was flashing, and another light illuminated the Red Cross flag when the first Israeli missile hit, shearing off the right leg of the man on the stretcher inside. As he lay screaming beneath fire and smoke, patients and ambulance workers scrambled for safety . . ."
The Boston Globe confirmed there had indeed been an explosion in the ambulance, quoting medic Qasim Chaalan, later pictured lying in hospital, bandages on his head: "A big fire came toward me . . ."
The story now reached Australia. On July 25 The Age listed those injured in the attacks (a list that varied in many reports): "Three patients—a woman, her son and grandson—were all injured further, the son losing his leg to a missile."
The Australian the next day reported: "One of the Israeli rockets pierced the centre of the large red cross marked on the roof of one of the ambulances, as if it was used as a target."
The Age then ran the longest and most dramatic account, by a correspondent with the Los Angeles Times, insisting: "Both ambulances were hit, directly and systematically, by Israeli bombs, the medics said . . ."
This was followed by countless other reports. In Australia they were carried by almost every mainstream paper, including the Sydney Morning Herald, Herald Sun, Advertiser and Courier-Mail.
The anti-Israeli tone of it all was exemplified by the Financial Review's Brian Toohey, who scoffed: "Israel would like Australian troops to join a new international force to save it the pain of occupying Lebanon after the latest exercise of its right to self defence included attacks on ambulances . . ."
The usual Israel-damners seized on it, with the Sydney Morning Herald's Mike Carlton asking "why an Israeli missile slammed with deadly accuracy into the unmistakable red cross atop a Lebanese civilian ambulance".
And on TV and in print we were shown again and again the proof: a picture of "the" ambulance that was hit—Ambulance 782, presumably the worst damaged of the two—with a missile hole right through the cross-hairs of the Red Cross sign on its roof.
Ah yes, that picture. Soon some bloggers, the media watchdogs of the internet, looked closer and saw something very odd.
Check the pictures on this page. You could even see where the screws went. What's more, the damaged parts of the roof were mottled with the rust of ages.
The bloggers—notably an American one known as Zombietime , whose research I've drawn on—dug out other damning photographs.
A side view of the ambulance, revealing the interior, showed no sign of fire or explosion, or anything to indicate a missile had slammed through the roof and landed . . . where? There was not even a dent in the floor.
The front windscreen was collapsed inwards, not outwards as you'd expect from an explosion that had blown up an ambulance and taken off a patient's leg, and the side windows were intact.
There was more. Chaalan, the medic last seen lying in hospital with thick bandages over his chin and ear, was filmed some six days later giving another interview.
But this time he had no bandages—and the skin once covered by them had no scratch, scab, scar or even stain. A fast healer.
See the complete evidence on http://www.zombietime.com/fraud/ambulance . You will, I'm sure, conclude that if Israel fired a missile through the roof of any ambulance, it wasn't this one. And if such a strike had injured a medic, it probably wasn't Chalaan.
In fact, the proof that Israel had fired a missile through the roof of a Lebanese ambulance seemed to rely largely on a fake prop, the word of an exaggerator, and an inconclusive video given to the media by an unnamed Lebanese man.
Was an ambulance truly attacked by Israel? Where's the proof? What we've been shown so far is a hoax.
But it hasn't been the only hoax in the reporting from Lebanon. Reuters had to fire a freelance photographer in Lebanon who'd been caught by bloggers photo-shopping a picture to make a pall of smoke seem thicker.
The cover of US News and World Report magazine showed a picture of a Hezbollah soldier posed with the flames of Israel's vengeance behind him—flames actually rising from a burning tip.
Then there was the Green Helmet Guy, a Lebanese rescue worker—or so reporters said—who always bobbed up at the sites of alleged Israeli atrocities, parading the victims and instructing foreign photographers on how to get the best shots.
There was also the Passion of the Toys, in which spotless, heart-rending toys kept featuring in the foreground of news agency pictures of Lebanese buildings bombed by the Israelis.
On it went, all uncovered by bloggers. A photogenically grieving Lebanese woman was pictured in front of a succession of houses we were told were hers—and each bombed flat by Israel.
The New York Times even ran a shot of a dead Lebanese civilian, posed just like a pieta of Christ in the ruins—only for later pictures to show him back on his feet.
What does all this tell us?
That news agencies, which hire local staff in dangerous places, can't be sure bad guys aren't dictating the coverage.
That so many media "errors" in this past war seemed to hurt Israel, not Hezbollah, indicating something more than chance was to blame.
That Western journalists are often too trusting of the claims of terrorists, and too hostile to the excuses of democracies.
And that the media has a new watcher—internet surfers who ask the awkward questions that too many journalists seem not to ask themselves. Not, that is, if the answer would help Israel.

The mistake is one a reader or listener might never pick up. A listener or reader expects a journalist to check facts. Yet we don't get facts from media, but opinion.
I'm not interested in journalist opinion, unless I'm reading an editorial. Dan Rather made a great show about resigning, or something, after a falsified document about President Bush surfaced .. yet nothing seems to have changed in the program.
There is bias in general media reporting of US or Israeli affairs. No amount of evidence seems to convince the true believers.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (07:47am)
Someone's head should roll for such blatant propaganda being regurgitated by the legions of Terry 'Macbeth' Lane wannabes out there.
Sure these duped idjits wanted to believe the Islamofascist Hizb Allah are poor victims of the evil Jews. Sacking the writers is not enough, sack the editors who ran these stories unless they print a full retraction. Then put them on probation.
No wait! Editors do the 'honourable' thing.
Submit your resignations and then after a few days deliberation by your bosses, return sniggering to your jobs having 'learnt your lesson'.
Justice will have been seen to have been done and the useful idiots can continue to undermine our democratic principles by clawing at the soft underbelly of freedom of speech.
Despicable leeches.
Fifth estate or fifth column?
Wed 30 Aug 06 (08:51am)
Given the potentially explosive impact (no pun intended) of a neutral entity becoming actively involved in hostilities, I find it fascinating that the main stream press has undertaken little or no investigative journalism around this issue.
An investigative piece that established that the ICRC had abused its neutrality charter in allowing itself - or an affiliated agency - to act as an active participant in a conflict situation, would provide the basis for a Pulitzer Prize!
That being the case, one place to start would be to verify the contents of the internal IXRC report referred to in the article in today's Australian - "In an internal report, a copy of which was obtained by The Australian, the ICRC claims that on July 23 near the village of Qana, two Red Cross ambulances were "struck by munitions". Last night, the group manager of the first-aid team for the Lebanese Red Cross, George Kettneh, insisted that two LRC ambulances had been attacked on the night of July 23, near Qana in southern Lebanon. "I was on duty that night and every ambulance that moved in Lebanon I had to know about," he said. "I received phone calls from the ambulance drivers and it took us one hour to negotiate a ceasefire through the International Committee of the Red Cross." Ambulance driver Qassem Shalim was closing the doors of the ambulance when the vehicle was hit. "I am sure the missile was fired from a drone. The blue light was flashing on our roof, the red cross was clear and there was a light on the Lebanese Red Cross flag above me. Everything I said happened did happen," he told The Australian in Beirut. (The complete article is available here http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20300357-7582,00.html
Questions that should be asked include -
1.Who is George Kettneh? What is his position and qualifications? How long has he worked for the ICRC or its Lebanese affiliate?
2.What time were the phone calls received? Where were the calls made from and how long did they last?
3.How did he negotiate a ceasefire? Who was involved from Hezbollah and from the IDF?
4.Who is Qassem Shalim? What is his position and qualifications? What military experience does he have? How long has he worked for the ICRC or its Lebanese affiliate?
These are not difficult questions to resolve and answering them would provide more clarity on the incident in question — either validating the claims of dismissing them.
Surely the ICRC needs to demonstrate its objectivity and neutrality
Wed 30 Aug 06 (09:25am)
Ironic, isn't it. The MSM which has long prided itself on questioning the status quo, of challenging incumbent governments to keep them honst, has evolved into an even more threatening totalitarian ideology machine.
We can vote governments out in a democracy, we can't vote the MSM out of controlling the biases of the public. We can hit their pockets though.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (09:33am)
This morning on "AM" Tony Eastley gave Alexander Downer a bit of a going over on the subject of the ambulances. The incredulity in his voice as he questioned Downer's account of the faking of photos betrayed his stance, and his relentless attack eventually elicited a concession that maybe the ambulance had been hit by something!
I wonder if Eastley has access to the internet- even if he felt that the case was not fully made by the series of photos there for all to see, he would at least have seen enough to know that that ambulance had not been deliberately hit by anything aimed from above except maybe a coconut!
Wed 30 Aug 06 (10:01am)
It was pretty obvious from the start that the hole through the middle of the Red Cross was not caused by a missile. The hole was clearly not the right shape and with a direct hit like that from an air-launched missile the ambulance would have turned to scrap (or at least bent and burned a little). That said, I don't see any sinister conspiracy – instead something more human and probably far more worrying:
Intentional Bias – the 'Macbeth' effect – journos and editors wanting to see pitiful atrocities (by one side or the other) because of their personal political preferences;
Slovenly incompetence – journos and editors just accepting what they have been fed because they are too lazy, too inexperienced or just too stupid to give any real thought to the subject matter or to check their facts;
Cynicism – it's a lovely, defining image and we just have to publish it – everyone else will;
Fear – most journos in-country who have been fed the information and given the pictures by people they know are Hezb' Allah operatives are not likely to question them in print for fear of ending up in a decapitation video all of their own. (The same presumably applies to the IRC's people in Lebanon.)
I guess the moral of the story is to take nothing in the media at face value, professional standards in the mainstream went by the wayside a long time ago. We all know that. Get over it. Read the blogs to get as many views as you can. Think for yourself – it's a liberating experience.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (10:29am)
Yo, Gregor of Bridgewater, nice name!
I reckon a fair slice of the reason for papers like the Aged not openly admitting their error is financial, in addition to being in conflict with their charter which is to vilify israel and the US at all costs. If the Aged admitted that they stuffed up and did not exercise due care in the reporting of the ambulance incident and actually beat it up, it might wake up a few people who still buy the paper that the Aged deals in overt anti-israeli sensationalism rather than news and reconsider their subscription.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (10:37am)
Journalist today are plain unprofessional. They are literally just gossip mongers and the fast paced reporting as news occurs, just enhances this unprofessionalism.
Add to this their own ignorance and bias and it makes for nothing but verbal diarrhea. A gushing fluid vocal stream, interspersed with undigested chunks of fact caught up in a flow of virulent supposition. In the end there is just the stench of propaganda.
Ahhh.... There ya go, I have farted my indignation all over their so called profession, I'll now wipe my mouth and find another topic.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (12:34pm)
I have believed for some time now that true investigative journalism is dead. In the aftermath of the Israel-Lebanon war, and all of the "fauxtography" scandals, which I have followed with both interest and outrage, I am now convinced that fair news reporting is indeed dead. We get propaganda for news, opinion (of the left-wing variety) for investigation, and stage-managed and filtered 'sound grabs' and photo-glimpses for in-depth and objective reporting.
I am reminded of an axiom that as a boy was drummed into us very firmly: a half-truth paraded as the whole truth is an untruth. Today's journalists for the most part seem to have forgotten that.
Andrew, you are one of the few exceptions to this depressing secenario. Keep up the good work.
As to the rest, I get my news these days from the Net, not the local TV news bulletins!
Finally as to "fauxtography", the real scandal in all this is precisely that there has been no scandal - just silence, and gratuitous attempts to explain it all away.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (01:15pm)
Thank God we have journalists like you, Andrew - highly educated, always professional, lots of integrity, ethically sound and committed to the truth and the facts.
Lucky, lucky us.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (01:24pm)
Actually Liv I agree with you completely. Only without your attempt at sarcasm. We are indeed lucky to have the Journalistic likes of Andrew. It is very important that we do.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (02:41pm)
It is good to see, through all the tripe and diatribe, someone who keeps their head and actually checks the facts before they open their mouth. Keep up the good work Bolta. In this day and age where the thing seems to be that every ill in this world is caused by either the Jews or the Yanks, it is nice to see the facts appear. In the war between Israel and the Arab nations, and I'm not just talking about Lebanon, there will be innocents hit on both sides. After all, it is war and the ordinance does not have a guidence system that tells it who is military and who isn't. The facts are hard enough to deal with in that area without journo's confusing what they would like to see with what actually happens.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (02:59pm)
And thank God we have bloggers like you Liv - over opinionated and full of your own self importance and always highly committed to the spreading of crap from terrorists.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (03:11pm)
Perhaps many journalists have secretly embraced Al-Taqiyya & the Islamic Book of Deceits.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (04:27pm)
Oh my God Andrew would you just shut the hell up about this! Yes, the press is evil and vile, let's burn all the journalists in the world… Yadda yadda yadda.
NASA have supposedly lost the original tapes from the moon walk - does that one piece of 'evidence' mean the entire moon walk was a hoax? Of course not!
The website Zombietime has not PROVEN a thing.
It is highly subjective analysis of photographs they got off the web.
I'm pretty sure that neither the UN or Israeli investigators aren't going to ask Zombietime to release their information to them anytime soon.
I DO doubt that this ambulance was bombed, but until I get PROPER evidence I'm not going to believe you, the Age, Zombietime or any of you 'journalists'.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (05:16pm)
Someone else said it and I think it fits perfectly. "Manufactured news". Problem is, the production line has broken down.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (08:20pm)
From the picture of the ambulance in quetion, it seems that rocket must have flown in through the front window, then curved up through the roof - That would explain why the glass was blown inward, why the side windows were intact, why there was no sign of damage to the floor and why the metal on the roof was thrust upwards!
What a clever little rocket!
Heather S.
Wed 30 Aug 06 (11:58pm)
You shouold not forget that Zombietime had help from countless readers who made many observations, suggestions, etc. about the incident. In many cases this was on the comment sections of http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com .
The people involved had tons of expertise from any number of professions and occupations.
For the ICRC to call the Zombietime story an "unverified blog" (?) shows them to most likely having had an agenda that they are trying to cover up, through casual dismissal of the evidence vetted by perhaps hundreds of people.

I have so much fun shooting "classy" boudoir <emphasis on the word classy>….we usually pop open a bottle of champagne, the girls usually bring along a friend and we laugh, take beautiful images and create a beautiful black leather album of the sauciness! Don't know how to "pose"?……well DUH…you're not supposed to know how! I got your back….I will direct you the entire time, because I believe that EVERY woman is model worthy in the hands of the right photographer!
Be sure to check out other images in the boudoir gallery here.
What's Included:
*Price includes hair + makeup. Prints and Albums are purchased separately during the proofing process.
*Boudoir/Glam sessions are usually 1.5 hours in length, however if you choose to have hair and make up done, expect to schedule 3-3.5 hours for your boudoir experience! I suggest to bring AT LEAST 3 change of wardrobe with you!
*30+ completely edited + retouched images to choose from
*Lots and Lots of bad jokes…and laughs!
8×8 Albums begin at $450
Prints begin at $25
