Well, that's hardly a surprise. Mohammedans, after all, worship satan, the father of lies, and their faith, such as it is, is driven in everything by the demons from the pit of hell -- and that, despite what some new age, knit your own muesli, touchy-feely pastor might tell you, has been the standard Christian teaching about Mohammedanism since it was spewed from the devil's mouth onto this world. I'll explore that later in this post, but for now I want to draw your attention to a specific instance of the usual Mohammedan ignorance and lies.
That example of the customary Mohammedan lack of knowledge and its concomitant construction of a falsehood can be found here at MEMRI's site. If you watch the television clip that is behind that link you will notice that from about fifty-six seconds in to about one minute and four seconds in, you can plainly see that Ja'far Abd Al-Salam, the Secretary General of the Islamic Universities Association, either reveals his ignorance of western culture or lies through his teeth -- or both.
What he says, with my bold emphasis, is this:
Now, that is nonsense and falsehood for two reasons. The first, obviously, is that our brave military and emergency services men and women do not fear dying in protection of our western civilisation, as is daily evidenced wherever they have contact with the repellent Mohammedan cowardly terrorist murderers. Israeli soldiers most certainly don't fear dying. That has driven Mohammedans, and specifically in this instance, Ja'far Abd Al-Salam to say such stupid things -- probably out of frustration and denial, or out of a simple wish that if it is said often enough then it might become true. No matter, the very saying of such stupidities indicates quite clearly the extreme mental breakdown that Mohammedans suffer from because of their beliefs.
The second is that there has always been a culture of self-sacrifice in the west -- our civilisation is founded on that culture and today, and throughout the ages, western, civilised people will willingly, and have willingly, put themselves in jeopardy in order to help others. In my articles since the beginning of the year that I have called 'Dies Gloriae' ('The Days of Glory')1 I have detailed, and will continue to detail, example after example, glorious instance after glorious instance, of people who have sacrificed themselves for others. Many, many of those people have sacrificed themselves in order to prevent the vile demons of the Mohammedan recidivist horde from advancing and that alone gives the lie to Ja'far Abd Al-Salam's vapid vapourisings.
So, Ja'far Abd Al-Salam's statement "...this culture does not exist in the West..." is patently and absurdly wrong. It is a lie. It is propaganda designed only to encourage the Mohammedan young to commit great evil, and for the great sin of tempting others into sin we Christians know that Ja'far Abd Al-Salam will probably join his master in the bottomless pit of hell (which means, blast it, that we have another Mohammedan soul whose salvation we must pray for).
In the west the culture of self-sacrifice exists alright, but it exists in our societies as a far greater, as a far grander and deeply loving, expression of humanity than Ja'far Abd Al-Salam, or indeed any Mohammedan, can ever hope to get his, or their, devil-warped minds around. Those of our people in the past who have been martyred, and those who will be martyred in the future, have voluntarily accepted their deaths not, as Mohammedans do, in order to kill other people or destroy some randomly selected object that has attracted their hatred, but in order to save others, in order to make the lives of others better, in order to ensure the continuing existence of what they believed in, and not, as I've already said, in order to destroy something, or someone, they hated.
That is the crucial and singular difference between the martyrs of the west and the murderers who follow the profane, debauched and corrupt tenets of Mohammedanism2. When Mohammedans use the word 'martyr' in connection with their devil-inspired murderers we must object, we must, quite deliberately, not accept that translation, that usage, and we must always substitute other words such as 'murderer', 'killer', or 'slayer', for a martyr is someone who sacrificed himself, herself, so that others could live; a martyr is not someone who committed suicide in order to kill, wound or maim other people -- that person is, plainly and simply, a murderer and must never be dignified with the title of 'martyr'.
'What's in word?' you may ask.
'Everything!' I would reply. Why else are you reading these words?
*** *** ***
I mentioned, at the beginning of this post, the standard Christian teaching about Mohammedanism. The Church has always taught that Mohammedanism is evil and satanic. From Christianity's first encounter with that demonic creed that came out of Araby many have written about it and its damnable and rancid teachings.
In AD746 Saint John of Damascus wrote 'The Fount of Knowledge' the second part of which is called 'Heresies in Epitome: How They Began and Whence They Drew Their Origin'. You can find Saint John's damning critique of Mohammedanism translated into English behind this link. In this book St. John refers often to the koran and, in St. John's opinion, its failure to stand up to even the most basic of scrutiny. 'The Fount of Knowledge' makes reference to many verses of the koran often with absolute disbelief that anyone could believe such crapulent outpourings.
Further, George Syncellus (we only know that he died sometime after AD810), who was a Byzantine chronicler and ecclesiastic and who retired to a monastery to write a chronicle of world history called Ekloge chronographias, or 'Extract of Chronography', was also of the opinion that Mohammedanism was perniciously evil. After Georges death his work was continued by his great friend Theophanes the Confessor (so successfully that the work is often referred to as 'Theophanes' Chronicle'). Theophanes the Confessor, who died somewhen around 822, writes about Mohammed thusly:
Cyril Mango's translation of the part of 'The Chronicle' that deals with Mohammedanism can be found behind this link -- scroll down a little way when you get there.
Most damningly of all, however, Professor Hugh Goddard in his book 'A History of Christian-Muslim Relations' mentions both John of Damascus and Theophanes the Confessor and goes on to examine Nicetas of Byzantium who drafted replies to letters on behalf of Emperor Michael III (842-867). Goddard sums up Nicetas' opinions like this:
Goddard points out that we can see in Nicetas' writings a knowledge of the whole of the koran, including an extensive knowledge of suras two to eighteen. Nicetas' writings expressed the standard Christian viewpoint about Mohammedanism that was endorsed by all the Patriarchs -- that it was a demonic belief system [the bold emphasis is mine]. That standard Christian teaching lasted in the West right up to the infamous Second Vatican Council.
(Incidentally, Professor Goddard is that reprehensible kind of academic who has sold out to the idea that Mohammedanism is just a religion like any other, or he has followed the money, for he is Director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre for the Study of Islam in the Contemporary World and I find it somewhat strangely apposite that his writings actually record and bolster the standard Christian beliefs about the filthy Mohammedan notions.)
Much that is highly suspect was promulgated at that strange Vatican Council. The problem with that Council was that in the period between the first and second sessions there was a change of pontiff from Pope John XXIII (doctrinally sound and spiritually impeccable) to Pope Paul VI (wooly and heavily influenced by the weird and completely false idea that in not a few cases socialism was merely secularised Christianity) who had been a member of the circle (the 'Badaliya' as it is strangely called) of the kindly and well-meaning but misguided and incompetent scholar of Mohammedanism, Louis Massignon, who, frankly, was more than tinged with oikophobia and was probably a little crazy (strangely, in quite a lovable way) as well.
Massignon was basically the sort of intellectual who when confronted by any belief really couldn't help himself but try to justify it or find something, anything, good about it. He, himself, was of such a good disposition that he was constitutionally incapable of seeing evil and his influence over the spiritually inclined, and in many ways innocent, Pope Paul VI in the matter of Mohammedanism and how it was addressed at the Second Vatican Council was nothing short of disastrous. In fact, that Pope's well meant meddling with Church teaching on this and other subjects, and the silly pronouncements of the intellectually challenged Bishops at the Council who agreed with him, have made Vatican Two a byword amongst all Christians for untrustworthy rulings and very strange, to say the least, decisions.
The weirdest of those decisions, as far as we are concerned here, must be the promulgation of two documents -- 'Nostra Aetate'3, specifically paragraph three, and 'Lumen Gentium'4, specifically paragraph sixteen. Together, they effectively undid the Western Church's fifteen hundred year old teachings about the hellish, evil nature of Mohammedanism without even examining the evidence (the Orthodox Churches have not, so far, followed that course). Of course, those self-same documents, and others, also introduced other basic errors into Christian teaching -- some of them even more serious than the roll-back on Mohammedanism -- that we have had to fight against for almost the last fifty years.
Basically, what Vatican Two actually did was it let the twin, and related, evils of socialism and relativism into the Church, and every branch and every denomination of the Church has had to fight ever since to put those crazed genies back in their bottles. Regrettably, the Melchite Catholic Patriarch at the time, Maximos IV, was pressing Pope Paul very hard to come to some accomodation that Mohammedans could feel good about so that Christians in the Arab and Mohammedan occupied lands could feel a little safer -- once again throw food to the crocodile in the vain hope that it will eat you last.

Bastakiya district in Dubai
Dubai may be a bright and shining metropolis today, but the old Bastakiya district with its narrow lanes and tall wind towers gives visitors a tantalising insight into the life of old Dubai.
An old residential area along the famous Dubai Creek in Bur Dubai, Bastakiya District dates back to the early 20th century.
Famous for its wind towers that lined the Creek, the district is a popular historical attraction for tourists.
These wind towers were not purely decorative – they were the only means of cooling the citizens of the desert town.
Today, Bastakiya is a bustling market and cultural centre of Dubai.
The district"s historic buildings are home to museums and galleries featuring the works of local artists, as well as housing restaurants and markets.
Visitors can spend hours at these markets, buying art, crafts and other souvenirs at very cheap prices – but make sure to bargain!
Dubai – A true modern metropolis Dubai boasts a fine range of tourist facilities including the refined Burj al Arab hotel.

A House committee is continuing its hearings into the Internal Revenue Service targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups.
In the meantime, the U.S. Treasury Department told Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that at least four politicians had their private information examined improperly by the IRS.
Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell said she is one of them. She said the day she announced her run for the U.S. Senate in 2010, the government placed a tax lien on her house.
The problem is she didn't own the house at the time. The IRS later withdrew the lien, calling it a "computer glitch."
But in January, O'Donnell was informed by a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department that her records had been improperly accessed on the day she decided to run.
O'Donnell claimed she had been warned that if she ran for Senate, the IRS would "(expletive) her head."
"Whether it's one, eight or 80 (cases), it's an abuse of power at the IRS. It's using the IRS as a political weapon, and that shouldn't be done," O'Donnell told The Washington Times.

Unfortunately, I don't know a good source for you!
One thing to consider is, the amount of privacy and light you require in your rooms. Determine if you would like the room to be very cosy and dimly lit or airy and bright. If it is a bedroom, you may want minimal light intrusion to allow you to sleep snugly. For the kitchen, you can go for the sheer blinds that allow a lot of light and sunshine in. For windows that face the sunny side of your home, you may want to go for the heavier blinds and for the front door; you may wish to add in a decorative and elegant blind. The fabrics and styles of custom blinds you choose are greatly influenced by all these factors.Delete
Smith + Noble is a good source for window treatments1ReplyDelete
I don't have those pretty corner windows but do have roman shades in my bedroom. Love them! Just clean and simple. Gives you privacy when needed lots of light into the room otherwise. Luckily, had normal size windows so ordered them from Penneys.ReplyDelete

I've had corner windows such as yours and really didn't want to cover them but needed to. I went with Hunter Douglas blinds that were able to be opened by having the bottom up or the top down. They have some great fabric and you can go through American Blinds. I really did like them for our bedroom because at night I could close them at the bottom but leave about a foot open at the top. This would let the natural light of the days beginning wake me gently instead of the alarm clock.ReplyDelete
i have made several roman shades :)ReplyDelete
let me know if i can help!
I have the corner windows in several rooms of my home. Notice no exclamation mark. Anyway. I looked into roman shades, but the problem is, you have mount them on the outside and ALOT of light gets in. Attempting to mount under the upperside of the window has a mathmatical nightmare. I moved the bed down, took off the bifold doors, used sliders and bought some great panels from Anthro on sale. If you still want the roman shades, the other lady said Smith & Noble and I have purchased from them for another house. They worked well. If you can sew at all, Romans are about a 6 on the difficulty scale. They make that tape though . . Best wishes. I hate my windows. I also have a fireplace that is jutted out from 2 corners, go figure.ReplyDelete
I think if you have enough depth you can mount them on the inside. JC Pennys also does made to order. You can find them on sale sometimes. Pottery Barn has some nice ones but not sure if they are made to order. Good luck!ReplyDelete
I don't have a source sorry! Though I love them myself.Best of Luck and please let us know if you find any~Cheers KimReplyDelete
I've never had to deal with a corner window, but I've always dealt with Blinds to Go. Their website is www.blindstogo.com and they are a great price! I don't know if they have roman shades or not, but I purchase their linen look roller shade which are really simple with clean lines.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do!
I wish I knew, I love Roman shades, too!ReplyDelete

I have a corner living room window. We bought honeycomb cellular shades and then did stationary curtains on the ends to soften the look. What I like, is that when they are open, they stack to almost nothing leaving the entire window visible.ReplyDelete

I also have a corner window in my bedroom. My bedroom is rather small, and I have chosen to do something very different- my bed is placed diagonally in the room right in between the windows! My window treatments are mahogany bamboo shades. We bought them at Home Depot and they match the color of the wood furniture in my room. They look beautiful against the cream walls and white trim. I may add wispy drapes down the road making my corner window almost like a canopy. I love the bed where it is, and love the breezes that float in in the summer, the sound of rain in the spring, and the rustling wind in the fall and autumn as I fall asleep!ReplyDelete
i wish i could help you. i've been in my own window treatment h*&&. we have a bay window in our bedroom and it's a nightmare. then we have those same corner windows in our living room. i think windows are the hardest thing to get right.ReplyDelete
I agree that roman shades would be the solution..please show pics when you are done.ReplyDelete
I love the roman shades and have been wanting to try my hand at making them. I have no source for you but want to say that I feel your pain with window treatment challenges. I feel so much pressure to make the right choice! Good luck to you.ReplyDelete

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMENReplyDelete
Why American men should boycott American women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
BRAND NEW: Buy the Boycott American Women book. After reading this book, I promise you that you will never even think about dating an American woman ever again, or else I will give you your money back. That's right, if you are not convinced by my book, I will give you a full refund!

Payless Decor. I have bought cordless roman shades from them for my home. Love. Easy to install. Great Prices.ReplyDelete
yes I like the idea of the Roman shades for your situtation. Our first house had a window situation like this, but it was in the living room, so we did use long drapes. Furniture wasn't an issue, and it worked beautifully. Amy @Maison Decor does drapes if you are still looking for someone. She's in the Boston area.ReplyDelete
I *should* have said she does custom window treatments- not just drapes!! :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful blog, I love it!ReplyDelete
Here is a link to a tutorial for no-sew roman shades. They look like they would be relatively easy to do. If you have quite a few windows, it might take a while though. I would love to move into that first bedroom -- so peaceful!ReplyDelete

Drumming up a dream
Badger grad taking stage on SNL
February 02, 2012
When a band plays in concert, it's the frontman everyone watches — typically the lead singer or guitarist.
That won't be the case for many Lake Geneva area residents, teachers and band students as they tune into "Saturday Night Live," Feb. 4.
Instead, their eyes will be drawn straight to the drummer, watching his every move any chance they get.
Sean Carey, a 2003 Badger High School graduate, will be thumping and tapping as a member of the up-and-coming Grammy-nominated band Bon Iver, which will make an appearance on the late night sketch comedy show also known for showcasing new and rising artists.
"You can bet that all my students will leave school Friday knowing that a former (school) band member will appear on Saturday Night Live," said Lake Geneva Middle School Band Director Ray Ames.
Ames, who had Carey as a student and watched him progress through high school and then to the University of Eau-Claire, Bon Iver and his solo efforts, said he is thrilled by Carey's success and won't miss the performance Saturday night.
"I watched some time back when they were on 'Late Night with Conan,'" Ames said. "I will definitely be watching Saturday night. The Packers let me down this year. This is my Super Bowl."
The unassuming and humble Carey said he expects performing on "SNL" will be an enjoyable experience.
"It just seems like a fun, laid-back environment," he said. "But who knows, it could be madness."
Carey, 26, lives in Eau Claire and is a full-time musician, mainly with Bon Iver, but also performs solo and has his own album, called "All We Grow."
"This is every drummer's dream," Carey said about playing in the band. "Although I never imagined I would be doing what I'm doing. I'm incredibly lucky and blessed."
Apparently, luck has little to do with the success of the talented Carey and Bon Iver.
Their appearance on "SNL" isn't the only excitement Carey and the group will have in the upcoming weeks. Bon Iver also has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, including some of the biggest of the night that will be handed out Feb. 12.
"We're just excited for any cool opportunity and fortunate that people really like what we do," Carey said.
Since Bon Iver was formed in 2007, the band has played in coffee shops, rock clubs, small and large theaters, outdoor festivals and has toured Europe and Australia.
Carey said it's difficult to describe the music Bon Iver plays, but said it is "dynamic and colorful, using pianos, guitars, drums, horns and electronics." He said the band has a unique sound and approach.
That's a far cry from his start in drumming as a fifth-grader.
"I remember watching my older sister play in the jazz band and the drums just always attracted me," Carey said. "They are attention grabbing and exciting and primitive."
In middle and high school, the drum kit became his main focus. Carey said Ames and Bunge encouraged his learning and believed in him as a drummer.
"Sean has always had a deep love of music," Sean's mother Lisa said. "There wasn't a question that he wanted to major in music in college. He chose UW-Eau Claire because of its strong jazz program and overall music program.
But, neither Lisa nor Ames knew Sean's passion would take him to SNL or the Grammy's.
"I always knew Sean had a special talent and drive," Ames said. "I honestly thought that he would end up being a band director because he had natural leadership skills in addition to music talent. Like professional sports, there isn't much room at the top. Think if the number of kids who play Little League baseball as compared to the number of players who get to the World Series."
Initially, Sean was headed in the education direction.
"His first year, he started as a music education major because people advised him that was the practical path," Lisa said. "But it didn't take him long to know that he wanted a performance degree. I don't think he has ever regretted that decision."
In 2007, during the first Bon Iver show, Carey was not a member of the band, but was an acquaintance of the leader, Justin Vernon.
"I approached him and told him that I had learned the drum parts and could sing harmonies with him," Carey said. "I think he was pretty surprised that someone could do that. But I was in love with the music and knew that I could be a good fit."
Carey joined Vernon on stage that night. The pair hit it off and Carey became a band member later that evening. Turned out it has been a perfect fit since and has resulted in the band making a name for itself.
"I found out that Bon Iver received the Grammy nominations when I saw the announcement on TV," said Lisa. "I was very excited and called Sean right away. I think it is a wonderful honor to have that recognition for playing the music that they love."
"Above all things, Sean is a good and humble person," Ames said. "He has never been and never will be full of himself. There are many students with his raw talent. There are very few that develop the talent and follow the dream to this level."

Police said an Ephrata man who called them to say he was going to beat up his neighbor has been charged with terroristic threats.
About 11:45 a.m. Thursday, Dennis Auker, 52, called police to say he needed an officer because when his neighbor returned he was going to assault the person, police said. Auker told them he would call 911 when he was finished beating up his neighbor, they said.
Auker and his neighbor apparently had an argument earlier Thursday, police said.
Officers arrested Auker in the 100 block of East Walnut Street and he was taken to Lancaster County Prison after he could not post $5,000 bail, police said.

Pacquiao-Margarito wraps!!!
Representatives from the Texas Boxing Commission (TBC) will be on hand to monitor the wrapping of hands of Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito inside their respective dressing rooms Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Pacquiao adviser Mike Koncz said on Friday that the gloves and handwraps of the two fighters will be taken by the TBC shortly after their scheduled 12-round world super-welterweight title match. Aside from the presence of the TBC officials, representatives from Pacquiao and Margarito will be on hand when the wrapping of the hands starts.
This was decided upon owing to the handwraps controversy Margarito was involved in two years ago going into the fight with Shane Mosley. It was later discovered that Margaritos wraps were loaded and he eventually was suspended for more than a year by the state of California.

Whats the point of all this? Not like either fighter would be stupid enough to load their glove espcially with recent events relating to loaded gloves, Overreaction me thinks..

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, is a Chinese holiday which falls on September 22, 2010 this year.
During this holiday, it is tradition to eat mooncakes. If you've been to a chinese supermarket lately, you've probably seen the large display of these little desserts, which are usually tucked inside elaborately decorated boxes (I always keep the boxes to store stuff.)
Last year, I went a little overboard on buying mooncakes, so this year, I decided to keep it simple. Since mooncakes are not very healthy and a bit on the pricey side, I limited myself to a single mooncake. Normally, I buy a box, invite people over and we cut the cakes and serve it with tea. The problem is, I seem to be the only person who really enjoys mooncakes and then I end up eating way too many.
In many parts of Asia, this holiday is celebrated with lantern decorations, a lot of food, dragon dancing, etc. The mooncakes offerings have also gotten more elaborate and expensive through the years. I've seen several asian blogs that showcase the intricate mooncake designs that come out each year. Unfortunately, I have not seen them in the US. In the US, I've only seen the traditional golden brown mooncakes.
There are many myths and legends surrounding the Moon Festival. Almost all of the tales end with a person being up on the moon. It is said that on the day of Moon Festival, the moon is especially big and bright, and so people often search to see if they can see this person who lives in the moon. I remember searching in vain when I was a little girl.
Mooncakes traditionally have a round shape. They are golden brown in color. The outside is a thin layer of skin, and it is mainly made up of filling. The most traditional fillings are red bean or lotus paste. The most expensive mooncakes are usually white lotus paste with a double egg yolk in the middle.
Mooncakes are very sweet and are traditionally served with hot tea. I've always thought it is ironic that the mooncake is a chinese dessert. Coming from a chinese family, my parents are always complaining of desserts being too sweet or too rich. Most chinese desserts are very light and not that sweet. Chinese cakes are usually like chiffon cakes, and the breads are also lighter and airier. Chinese people also are very health conscious. They eat a variety of herbs and ingredients because of the health and medicinal benefits.
And yet the mooncake seems to represent all the things that chinese people don't like in food. It's extremely sweet (most people can only eat it in small quantities) and extremely unhealthy. My mom is constantly warning me not too eat too many.
You can read more about the different Moon Festival myths here. You can see my post from last year here.

Don't forget the tea
so sad i don't have a mooncake in my hands right now!
I just tried my first lotus paste mooncake and loved it.
Do you have tips on which brand mooncakes are best? There are a ton to choose from at Ranch 99
Yes, tea is a must =)
So glad to hear you liked it!
Yes I do have some tips. A word of warning first though. While Ranch99 has tons of mooncakes, usually by the day of there is very few left. The ones that are left are usually the nontraditional flavors, ones I personally don't really like, such as mixed nuts, durian, fish, chicken. Heh. So I don't know how much of a collection you'll have to choose from if you haven't bought your cakes yet.
But in general, I think the first thing to do to narrow down your selection is what flavors you are looking for. There are variety packs with many flavors or there are ones that are just one flavor. Even if you can't read chinese writing, if you flip to the back and look at the ingredients, you can see the types of filling in mooncakes. Some of the brands I enjoy most are Sheng Kee and Kee Wah and also ones from Hong Kong. (These are also the ones you'll usually see people get and give as gifts to others) Usually the nicer the packaging, the more expensive they are. If you aren't willing to pay too much, the cheaper brands aren't necessarily bad. They are usually a bit oilier though. The cheaper brands tend to be made in China and Vietnam. Hope this helps.
My mom brought back a big box of mooncakes when she got back from the Philippines. My dad and I weren't sure what they were or why they only came out once a year – so thanks for the enlightenment!
I hope you like the ones you got. I've never had any before from the Philippines. I think the filling can make such a difference between loving a mooncake and hating it.
Thanks for the mooncake info! I'll use it next year. This year I just bought one from J.J. Bakery in Torrance. It was great but I don't go up there much. I like the plain ones with just lotus seed.
So the best ones are made in Hong Kong?
Yes, I think the ones in Hong Kong tend to be made better, and higher quality. Though they can be pricey. Taiwan ones are good too, but not as many Taiwan brands. JJ Bakery usually has good ones. My fav is definitely the lotus seed filling.

The long hand of the influence of Johns Hopkins grows with time. The forces determining this man's extensive and extending influence have been analyzed on many occasions by able historians and loyal disciples of the "great men of the Hopkins." Suffice it to say that the development of our modern medical school in the sense of a graduate school of higher learning in a university setting and later the expansion of full-time medicine into the clinical years enabled clinical science to achieve its ancient eminence as the mother of sciences. At The Johns Hopkins University it came to fruition guided by several physicians, scholars, and teachers, whose influence still prevails widely. Probably the only one of the great clinicians in the heyday of Johns Hopkins to leave a personal school was William S. Halsted, who exerted equal influence in the intensive training of a protracted residency program and his emphasis

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) is having a fine day today, rising 76 points as of 1:45 p.m. EDT on a cheerful unemployment report. But this rosy performance was achieved despite a terrible fall for three of the Dow's four tech components.
Tech stocks scored an unfortunate hat trick by claiming the three worst performances on today's Dow. Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) has dropped 7%, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) has lost 5% of its value, and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) has taken a 2.7% haircut. No other Dow stock has plunged anywhere near as much. IBM (NYSE: IBM ) was spared from this bloodbath, instead rising 0.3%.
Yes, there's a pattern here. The largest publicly traded builder of PC systems took the hardest hit, followed by the king of PC operating systems, and then the undisputed champ PC processors. The catalyst was a pair of catastrophic market reports on PC sales from sector analyst firms IDC and Gartner. Big Blue doesn't sell small systems anymore, which explains the lack of market backlash against that particular technology titan.
IDC's report said PC system shipments plunged 14% year over year in the first quarter, nearly twice as fast as the firm had expected. It's the fourth consecutive annualized unit drop, and PC sales haven't been this weak since 2009.
IDC placed much of the blame squarely on Microsoft's shoulders. Not only did the "radical changes" in Windows 8 fail to ignite PC sales the way Windows 7 did, but the fizzled launch also "appears to have slowed the market."
Gartner adds that weak system sales in the industrialized world can't be healed by strong shipments into developing markets. "Consumers are migrating content consumption from PCs to other connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones," the firm said. That trend seems to hold true everywhere you look these days.
It's been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who have watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many. He's also providing regular updates as key events occur, so be sure to claim a copy of this report now by clicking here.

This study is an extremely valuable contribution to the history of medieval medicine in Europe. Ugo Benzi, called by his contemporaries "prince of philosophers and physicians," according to Prof. Lockwood was not preeminent in these two fields of intellectual activity. Indeed, the author does not think he was even a philosopher, and, as for being a physician, although he taught medical theory and practiced the art of healing, most of his theories and therapeutic measures would be scorned by the modern physician.
Hugo's name in the history of medicine does not stand out like that of his predecessors, Bernard of Gordon, Gilbertus Anglicus, and John of Gaddesden, or of his immediate successors, Nicolaus Leonicenus and Thomas Linacre. Ugo Benzi was an example of a successful and prominent physician of his time, who taught in several leading universities and treated as patients some of the great of his period but who

But eight years later, the continuing successful service of so many of the officers in the Thomas S. Gates argues for the existence of an atmosphere in that ship that could be useful to study in view of today's retention problem.
The retention success of the Thomas S. Gates can be attributed to two sets of factors: those beyond the control of the ship's leaders, and those within their control. The most obvious external factor was that this wardroom made an extended (a week short of eight months) wartime deployment together—one in which we were able to put aside some of the more mundane tasks associated with our jobs and concentrate on planning, operating, and watchstanding. It was a surface warrior's nirvana. Sweeping restrictions on message traffic meant less routine messages to write, and the tense operational environment dictated that all other pursuits were subjugated. We stood largely port and starboard watches; when we weren't on watch, many of us engaged in significant tactical planning.
I don't mean to suggest that all of the routine business of the ship ceased. On the contrary, we still had a very full plate, including the most thorough commanding officer's zone inspection program I've ever seen, and a zealous pursuit of crew qualifications and advancement. What was different from any experience I've had since was the decline in external administrative requirements. We had a relevant mission, we were operationally engaged, and there was an obvious purpose to our labor.
The second external force worthy of mention is the economy of 1990-91. While the Gulf War temporarily bumped the economy from the front pages, its weight was felt in the months after the war as we saw the President's phenomenal poll numbers slip. The civilian job market was nowhere near as inviting as it is today. I mention this only because I foresee others raising this factor to an uncalled-for level of importance. To be honest, the officers in my cohort in the Thomas S. Gates did not talk about the economy much. Call it the arrogance of youth, but as bad as things were, most of us felt that if we were to leave the service, we probably would do fine financially. To me, today's economy is at best a tiebreaker when it comes to making a "should I stay or should I go" decision, just as it was in 1991.
The Leaders
Far more important in keeping so many officers in the Navy was the working environment created by the captain of the ship and its senior leadership. I have never been associated with a more professional, collegial, and supportive group of officers; I often refer to that wardroom as the greatest gathering of men since the Second Continental Congress. It started with the captain.
Simply put, he made being commanding officer (CO) of a ship look like the best job in the world. To paraphrase Admiral Snuffy Smith's line about how the world's navies view the U.S. Navy, the junior officers (JOs) in the Thomas S. Gates didn't want to be like our CO; we wanted to be our CO. His enthusiasm for the job never diminished. Clearly, he faced numerous setbacks and challenges, the same as any other captain. The difference was that he didn't share them with us. He refused to let the burdens of command interfere with the joys of command.
COs need to remember that everyone takes his or her cue from them. If it means suspending reality for a while, do so. I'm not proposing a rose-colored glasses approach; the officers and crew need to know without question when their performance has been disappointing. But those periods should be brief and without residue. Every JO on that ship had the opportunity to make mistakes and survive; we weren't judged on our latest miscue.
The COs took officer training seriously; so seriously, that he often gave it himself. This is something I've seen little of in my time in the fleet, but its effect on a wardroom is astounding. When a neophyte administers officer training primarily to improve his or her knowledge, an opportunity is lost. When the most experienced person on the ship shares knowledge, everyone gains.
I could spend pages cataloging the nuances of our captain's leadership style that helped make the experience special, but that would detract from the other significant pieces of this puzzle. Although the CO created the environment for these other factors, had he been less of a leader, the presence of these other factors still would have made my tour in the Thomas S. Gates memorable.
The first time I saw the executive officer (XO) was shortly before I reported to the ship. I still was attached to my previous ship, which happened to be berthed a pier over from the Thomas S. Gates . I took a stroll one afternoon to look over my new home, and happened upon a flurry of activity on the pier. The cruiser was exercising its damage-control parties, and the XO was overseeing the action. To say that he was involved is an understatement. He moved from group to group, exhorting, challenging, cajoling, and inspiring. Here was a man having the time of his life, bringing a level of enthusiasm to an evolution so routine it often breeds indifference.
Everything he did resembled that day on the pier. He knew the Aegis weapon system better than anyone else on the ship (and better today than anyone else I know), and willingly shared that knowledge with us. Many a daily operations brief went past its allotted time when the XO decided to take to the overhead projector. He took his role as the number-two warfighter seriously, and devoted at least as much time to training division officers as he did to his considerable administrative duties.
The Department Heads
The department heads were an irreplaceable element of the Thomas S. Gates's success. To a division officer contemplating remaining on active duty, command seems a world away, and XO is just short of that. What we looked at more with more intensity than those positions was our department heads. Were they enjoying themselves? Were they challenged in a positive manner? Did the job they were doing seem worth coming back for? After a year working with the department heads in the cruiser, I had my answers, and they led me to stay Navy.
These men were very talented surface warriors, both operationally and in terms of their leadership skills; their current success stands as convincing evidence. But their effect on the ship was much more than just individual talent. These men were best friends who understood that if the ship did well, they would do well, irrespective of how they were ranked against each other at fitness report time. Don't get me wrong; I could see the disappointment in my boss's eyes when it was clear that he had been ranked lower in the group of four lieutenant commanders on board than he had hoped. But it did not last long. The level of cooperation was incredible, and the ship functioned like a well-oiled machine as a result.
Looking at this from the division officer level was insightful. Once a week, the captain convened a meeting of the Commanding Officer's Training Team—COTT—comprising himself, the XO, and the department heads. At these meetings, the captain laid out his instructions, and the team reviewed long-range plans and conducted considerable business. More importantly, here is where they let off steam. I cannot remember laughing harder than I did during those meetings. Very serious men, dedicated to very serious ends, genuinely enjoyed these meetings.
Another aspect of the department heads' performance that I believe helped retain a large percentage of their division officers was their keen interest in mentoring us. I never will forget walking into the wardroom late one night under way to find the combat systems officer sitting next to the gunnery officer going over his division's maintenance charts. This in itself is unremarkable; what was worthy of note was the tone of their conversation. It was clear that the department head was teaching his division officer, not brow-beating him.
Some years later when I was a department head, my divisions were having a tough time with a routine damage control evolution. I would tell them at quarters to go out and verify yoke and then report to me when it was done. One by one they would filter in and report, and soon thereafter I would receive notification from the Damage Control Training Team that we had failed—and miserably.
I thought back to the combat systems officer in the wardroom with his gunnery officer and gathered my division officers in my stateroom. I then calmly asked if any of them knew what was meant by "yoke checks." One by one, they shook their heads and said no. It wasn't that they didn't know anything about what they were doing, it was that they weren't sure about the complete scope of the evolution. So I trooped them up to the communications officer's passageway and showed them how to verify yoke. The lesson isn't that I was a good department head, it was that I hadn't taken the time to do a very important part of my job: to teach my division officers.
I believe that much of the frustration of today's division officers springs from a sense of detachment from their department heads. Department heads seem more likely to browbeat than to praise. I suppose some would say that it always has been that way, but I doubt it has been that way on good ships. COs and XOs have to make it clear to their department heads that training and mentoring those who will come after them is not a luxury to be pursued when everything else is complete. It must be a fundamental part of every department head's leadership style, and commanding officers should be attentive to their department heads' performance in this respect.
Department heads, as much as the CO and XO, must remain positive. Going to sea as a surface warrior is tough; doing it while working for a negative, critical, self-centered jerk is torture. I'm not advocating a leadership style by which we attempt to deceive division officers into looking at the next step as a positive one. What I am advocating is maintaining perspective—every once in a while, sitting back and remembering why it was that you stayed in the Navy, and how you can convey your enthusiasm for your work to those who work for you.
The Thomas S. Gates had many things going in her favor in 1991; she was four years old, she was commanded by a man who would go on to three stars (at least), and her wardroom was deep and talented. It would have been negligence if we weren't able to retain a great deal of our officers under these circumstances. I may go through my entire Navy career without having another experience like I did in the Thomas S. Gates . I tried my best to recreate that atmosphere as a department head, and I can report only mixed results. But the truth of the matter is that the Surface Navy does not need the kind of retention we had in the Thomas S. Gates (although it would be wonderful). Currently, we need to retain 8 more officers out of every 100 than we are to meet our department head needs while retaining reasonable tour lengths. If the leaders on every ship in the fleet were to take stock of themselves and think about the example they were setting for the junior officers on board, we could go a long way toward turning this situation around. Ultimately, leadership is the answer.

It's not unusual for players to shuffle between the Major League and Triple-A club.
But Austin Bibens-Dirkx has been spending lots of time on the Triple-A to Double-A shuttle.
He was transferred to New Hampshire on Sunday and spent less than 24 hours there before being promoted back to the Buffalo Bisons for the fifth time this season.
And while he takes every opportunity he can get to be on the mound, his performance Wednesday night fell on the disappointing side. Bibens-Dirkx took the loss as the Herd was shut out by the Syracuse Chiefs, 5-0, in front of 8,401 at Coca-Cola Field.
He gave up four runs on five hits in four innings. He issued two lead-off walks, one which came back to bite him in the third, and struck out three.
"Sometimes you get unlucky," Bibens-Dirkx said. "I wasn't making the best pitches in the world, especially when I needed to and that's just kind of the way it goes.
"If you don't make good pitches to good hitters then you're going to pay for it."
That's what happened in the third when he walked Jeff Kobernus, the No. 9 hitter, to start the inning. Emmanuel Burriss then homered to center to give the Chiefs a 2-0 lead.
Syracuse scored twice more against Bibens-Dirkx in the fourth. Back-to-back doubles made it 3-0. Another run scored when Burriss hit the ball back to the mound, but Bibens-Dirkx went for the easy out at first instead of trying to get the runner breaking for home.
"I don't think he had the good command he's shown us in the past," manager Gary Allenson said. "He's been better out of the bullpen for us rather than the starts. … I think he's probably broken the record for moves between Double-A and Triple-A but he's handled it pretty well."
It's not just his team that's been a moving target for Bibens-Dirkx this season but his role has been ever changing as well. He began the season as a starter in New Hampshire but in his 10 appearances for the FisherCats, six have been starts.
In Buffalo, he has pitched in 17 games and only four of those have been starts.
He got the call Wednesday after scheduled starter Esmil Rogers was called up to Toronto Tuesday.
"It's the same anywhere you go," Bibens-Dirkx said. "You just have to regroup yourself, mentally be strong and be ready to go out and help the team. Tonight, unfortunately, it didn't work out in my favor but I hope next time it will.
"I've done everything pretty much in my pitching career. I just have to take the ball when they give it to me, go out there and do the best I can."
While Bibens-Dirkx was struggling to make his pitches, Syracuse starter A.J. Cole was keeping the Herd offense silent.
Cole, the top pitching prospect in the Washington Nationals organization, picked up his third straight win. The Triple-A rookie threw seven scoreless innings, giving up just three hits, with no walks and six strikeouts.
The Herd made several other moves on Wednesday in addition to promoting Bibens-Dirkx.
Reliever Randy Boone got his first promotion of the year to the Bisons after spending all of 2014 with Double-A New Hampshire.
Infielder Kevin Nolan earned his second promotion to the Herd this season while outfielder Darin Mastroianni returned after being optioned by Toronto.
Meanwhile Mickey Storey was activated off the Bisons' disabled list and the reliever was transferred to New Hampshire.
The two-game series concludes today (1:05 p.m., TWCS, Radio 1520 AM) with lefty Raul Valdes (3-3, 4.50) getting the start for the Herd against righty Taylor Hill (9-4, 2.63).

Record-breaking gaming
Ciara O'Brien
Xbox owner? Have a Kinect? Well then. Dust off your copy of Kinect Sports, crack out the running shoes and take part in a record-breaking attempt that could also benefit charity along the way.
Microsoft is trying to break the record for the most people in an online race (I'm sure it's not the most unusual record attempt out there). So tomorrow at 6pm, log in to Xbox Live and take part in the 100 metre dash on Kinect Sports. For every person who takes part, Microsoft will donate funds to Right to Play, a charity that helps children in more than 20 countries to build essential life skills through playing sports and games.
It'll be a bit of a laugh, we'll all look a bit ridiculous (going by previous attempts at Kinect Sports anyway) but it's all in a good cause.
Those who do will be in good company. Microsoft has signed up the Kaiser Chiefs to take part in its Xbox Summer Stadium sports and entertainment campaign which kicks off today and runs until August 12th. That includes the 100m dash tomorrow.
With this in mind, for the weekend Xbox Live's Gold subscription service is free to access for everyone.
For more information, log on to www.xbox.com/right-to-play

I normally cook between three to five meals a week but lately I've been cooking meals that don't stretch as far or that David's been taking in his lunch the next day. So this week I have SIX meals on the menu. Oh, and they're pretty much gluten free.
And just for kicks, at the end of this post, I'm including photos of my actual menu and my grocery list.
Foil-Packet Chicken Puttanesca (NEW)*
Salmon w/lemon pepper*
Zucchini Pasta (NEW)*
(frozen for me; cauliflower crust* for David)
NOTE: I made this before and David liked it but I haven't shared the recipe yet because I wanted to make it again first. The first time I made it, I undercooked the crust so it was floppy. I wanted to try it again and see if cooking it the proper amount of time would make it crispier. I'll keep you posted.
Grilled Hamburgers*
Green Beans*
Deviled Eggs*
NOTE: Since David's eating gluten free, he won't be having a bun with his burger. Last time I made burgers he tried the gluten free buns but he wasn't impressed. This time he'll probably just use regular gluten free bread or go without. Also, my daughter-in-law was recently diagnosed with MS and needs to avoid beef. I purchased Boca burgers for her and we'll cook those on the grill.
Chicken Stir Fry over Rice*
NOTE: This isn't actually a true stir fry. I sautéed about 1 pound of sliced chicken tenders in oil. Then I added sliced red peppers, zucchini, green onion and broccoli along with about ¼ cup salad dressing. I served that over brown rice. That's it.
Roasted Rosemary Pork Chops & Potatoes*
* recipes marked with asterisk are gluten free but do not require any special gluten-free products. The only exception is that if you want a bun with your grilled hamburger, you will need to purchase gluten free buns.
More menu ideas are available here.

This Classroom Salute goes out to Mrs. Edwardson's Kindergarten Class at Old Mission Peninsula School in Grand Traverse County.
The students were working on a calendar and counting out the days until Thanksgiving. They also brought in stuffed bears that were sitting at the tables to help them with reading.
