NEW YORK (AP) — AOL (NYSE: AOL ) said Monday it will put its videos on YouTube, including content from The Huffington Post, TechCrunch and other brands.
YouTube is the world's largest provider of online video content, and the deal could help AOL make more money from advertisements.
The videos will be organized into 22 channels on YouTube, which is owned by Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) .
AOL has been trying to grow its advertising business as its old dial-up Internet service continues to decline, with people signing up for faster services. In the latest quarter, AOL's revenue slid 2 percent to $531.1 million. That was its lowest revenue decline rate in seven years.
Shares of AOL climbed 22 cents to $32.45 in afternoon trading.

Skip to comments.To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last (hysterical e-mail)
Posted on 05/01/2009 2:48:35 PM PDT by wac3rd
I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.
You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh?
It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again.
I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself and four other people in the gas station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet.
I threw the wallet in a fancy pink "pimp mobile" parked at the curb after I broke the windshield and side window out and keyed the drivers side. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Ma Bell just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service.
I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat (I guess while he traced the number).
I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky ....
- Alex
P.S. Remember this motto...... an armed society is a polite society!
Or does such a thing already exist?
2nd Amendment at work against the domestic enemies.
Hopefully, it was a boom-box car.
This is the fifth iteration of this story I've seen over the last three years...
I was wondering about that. Some things are just too good to be true. Thanks.
I think I have seen only 2 but I wouldn't mind seeing a few more, maybe even one with a happy ending that I can think of real fast?
The original Craigslist post has been flagged for removal:
However, it has gone from different links such as reddit:
and has been dated 3 months ago. It should be on Craigslist's best of, but we know why Craigslist is based in san Francisco.
It was still fun to read.
You must have strong wrists.
This phony email is funny and all... but we have to be careful that we don't spread the misconception that all gun owners take the law into their own hands during armed confrontations. What he did to the mugger would get him arrested too.
I once had a burglar try to break into a cabin my parents owned. I heard him messing around for several minutes and had time to wake up and clear my head, grab a Browning Hi-Power and wait.
Sure enough, he then tried the door. I opened it and in one motion turned on the lights. I immediately pressed the Browning right between his eyes.
The funny thing is it didn't even bother him. One would think a cocked and loaded pistol pressed against your forehead would get most peoples attention. He simply said, "hey my car is in the ditch, can you help me"?
The guy looked like a carnival worker, dirty, long hair, and according to a deputy I talked to later, on drugs. He probably was trying to steal a battery out of an RV parked next to the cabin. He had run the one in his car dead. He really was in the ditch.
I prefer real "gun owners vs. perps" stories, and the NRA sends them along each month with attributable news stories. Truth is better than fiction and besides, they happen almost every day in the US of A.
You might find that sticking a weapon between someone's eyes like that may end up badly for you, if he has good reflexes and a weapon of his own held a bit lower.
Also, it's not hard to move your head and take away a gun, if it's held against the front of you — all before the individual holding it can pull the trigger. You don't want to come within scuffling distance if you have something that negates the need.
Actually I think putting it between his eyes is one of the better ways to confront a person. It might be easier to dodge with your head but it is also a place where the shot is most effective.
From experience, playing with sponge rubber spears, I know that center body mass, the stomach is the hardest thing to dodge tho it might be easier to knock aside with the hands.
The fact that the barrel was placed against his head allowed me to watch the guy's hands which is where you really need to pay attention.
LoL.. Now thats what I'm talking about.. ugh huh...
on a side note, when a drunk comes bangin on the door askin for a push...make sure he aint sittin on the porch swing...
I gotta call shens on this one.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I suspect you don't either.
My martial arts instructor regularly demonstrates taking away a gun that's put in contact with his head. A gun should be held out of arms reach of the perp.
yes - fun to read - almost as fun as Dave Barry's colonoscopy column.
old joke...lolol...
There are some 1911s in a chambering known as the ".50 GI".
If your martial arts instructor actually tells you to try that, unless you know the person intends to shoot you, then he has no business being a martial arts instructor.
If the data collected by Professor Gary Kleck of Florida State University are correct it happens approximately 2,000,000 times a year in one way or another in the US, and in the vast majority of those incidents the mere display of a gun results in a successful conclusion of the incident for the intended victims of the criminal aggressor. His research indicates that law abiding Americans use a firearm or the credible threat of using a firearm approximately 2 million times a year in defense of life, limb, or property. Based on his research he estimates that less than 3%-4% of those incidents result in shots fired, and even far less than that estimated number result in death or injury of either party or parties involved in the incident. In fact, he says that most of the incidents that end without injury to either party or shots fired are not even reported to the police for one reason or another.
It's been several years since I read that portion of Dr. Kleck's book, but I'm pretty sure I'm not very far wrong with my off the cuff quotes of the data he came up with in his extensive research on the subject. Of course the anti-gunners say that his data are made up out of thin air with no credible research to back them up, but no anti-gun group or person has been able to disprove his data after they have been in print for well over a decade IIRC. As for his credentials, Dr. Kleck is a full Professor in the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice and a Courtesy Professor of Law at Florida State University, and he has conducted several exhaustive studies and has written many media articles and several scholarly books on the use of privately owned firearms and the Constitutional right of Americans to own and use guns for lawful purposes.
Thanks epow.
Yes, he does emphasize that you only try this if you're pretty sure that the alternative is death or serious injury.
That said, the point of my original post is that holding a handgun up against the head (or anywhere within arms reach) of an assailant renders you vulnerable to a disarm attempt. When holding a criminal at bay, you have no idea what his criminal history is, what else he's wanted for, what drugs might be clouding his judgment, and thus no idea as to what risks he might be willing to take to avoid capture. My original point was that holding a criminal at gunpoint should be done from a distance which allows you to observe all of him, and which is out of his reach.
Funniest read in a loooooong time.
LOLOL! Thanks for the ping!
Funny stuff ping
And don't you just love it every time? I know I do.
Yes, I do! And, each time proves the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in our 2nd Amendment freedoms. Taking responsibility for oneself and protection of one's family is critically important especially these days.
Waiting six minutes or more for police response after calling 911 is not "protection" it is "reaction" and a very long wait.
People who think that they are protected by calling 911 should stand at their front door and time what six minutes (or more) is like. It is forever. Meanwhile, a concealed weapon and even a lock box for a pistol can be accessed in literally seconds. I know, since I've timed both.
Six minutes? how about 25 minutes?
Fifteen or so years ago when my daughter still lived at home she was attacked in our own front yard by a gang of five or six young hoodlums, including two teenage girls, who she had ordered off our property because they were trying to catch her pet kitten with the obvious intention of doing it harm. She got away and ran back into the house and retrieved the .22 revolver which I had bought to use for training her and her brother to shoot and handle guns safely, and then came back outside with it. On seeing the gun the teenage hoodlums skeedaddled, and we thought that the one incident was all that would come of it.
Then a few nights later we heard rapid fire shots being fired in an overgrown field right behind our property. I didn't want to go out in that rough field in the dark to investigate, so I called 911 and reported that someone was firing a gun at our house, which I still believe was true. Sure enough, 25 MINUTES later 2 deputies pulled up in front of the house in a Sheriff's Dept cruiser with blue lights flashing and siren screaming. They searched the field with flashlights, but of course the perps had long since departed the area by then. The deputy who seemed to be in charge told me it was probably just firecrackers we heard, but I have heard more than enough gunshots and firecrackers exploding to know which is which, and those sounds were definitely not caused by firecrackers exploding.
Two of the teenage hoodlums came back a few days later in broad daylight when my daughter was again at home alone and stole one of her pet chickens out of it's cage. (yes, she had made pets out of two chickens along with her cats) She saw what was happening in time to grab the little .22 again and chased them down the road until the little delinquent dropped the chicken and kept on running.
We later learned that the juvvies were staying in an old abandoned house about a half mile away from our place because their 2 sets of parents had left Florida for parts unknown without taking their kids along or even telling them they were leaving. Nice folks huh? Thank God we were able to sell that semi-rural house and property and move to a better neighborhood not long after those incidents.
They're my first read when I get mine. Oddly enough tho, many of those incidents occur in Florida. You would think people would learn.......but then they probably don't read or watch the news so they don't know the guy whose house they are going to break in to is probably armed.

the ironic thing about this article is that i was multi-processing, that is, reading it while talking to my SIL on the phone and asking her about the Bahamas and whether or not it's safe. And her answer was "oh yes, it's very safe. They're very strict about gun control down there!"
326 to 468 ft-lbs?
I think I could (figuratively) throw the thing harder than that.
It's always comforting to know criminals who rob, rape and murder won't break "gun control" laws...

Skip to comments.After the airstrikes: Scenes of devastation left by Israeli rockets [chicken milk factory blowed up]
Posted on 05/05/2013 9:50:51 PM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
Pictures emerge showing destruction caused to buildings by airstrikes
Bulldozers are clearing away rubble from buildings razed to the ground by Israeli airstrikes near Damascus, as Syria pledges retaliation for the 'declaration of war'.
Pictures have emerged from Syria showing the damage caused to buildings, including some forming part of a chicken farm, by an attack in Al-Hama - close to Jamraya where a research centre was targeted.
Senior government ministers in Syria warned its neighbour it risked engulfing the Middle East in conflict after carrying out airstrikes twice in the past three days.
Scroll down to view videos
Aftermath: Bulldozers work to remove rubble after the Israeli airstrike in the Al-Hama area near Damascus
Destruction: The damage left at a chicken farm building following the attack by Israel on Syria
Rubble: Syria has branded the attacks a 'declaration of war' and pledged retaliation against Israel
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Heavily fortified chicken farms.
If only the US had the courage that Israel showed in these defensive attacks.
good for the Israelis
Must have missed the baby milk factories on this raid.
Really? This is the best the dinks could do? No wailing woman? No dead babies?
They say they'll retaliate "in their own time and way."
That sounds like a pretty impotent thing to say. I guess Syria can't fight a war with their army against Israel, which means they're forced to depend on Hizbollah or someone else to due their dirty work. Might as well go ahead and kill Assad and all his henchmen right now.
Israel saving the free world...again.
They blowed up real good.
That is just so sad. /s
strange I thought it might have looked more like O
Well... they have to test the weapons on something live.
I wonder if the chickens were there for the same reason that canaries are kept in a mine ?
Why it's Mama Bomb Magnet again...
Locals should kill the research chickens if they want to avoid spreading whatever bio-disease Syria may have been testing on them.
...maybe Syria is only using them for toxicity tests on nerve agents. At least chickens don't spread that past those who eat them.
concrete flooring on a chicken farm?
animal rights activists will be upset
Farfur!!! Can you feel your legs???
As if there was not one bit of damage in the entire area caused by barbarians fighting barbarians.
When asked for comments about the Israeli raid on Syrian "chicken farms", KFC, Churches, Chik-Fil-A and Popeye's collectively said, "Our chickens are better" plus youll get fries and cole slaw with them, not hummus and dates.
Chicken milk? Do chickens give milk? Are they mammals now?
That can't be no Muslim chicken farm, the chickens aren't wearing burkhas.
They missed the wedding party this time.
It was a chicken farm, not the goat farm across the dirt road
All you guys. THIS is the video you need to see. It's from a thread last night.
It's great! In addition, you will understand that " Allah Akhbar!" means "Great Explosion!"
I don't see dead chickens, forgot to look for food dishes.
I'm breathlessly awaiting to see how The Arab Street reacts.
The reaction from the Chicken Street should be noted too
Heavily fortified chicken farms.
Chickens lay eggs.
Eggs are used in bio weapons research as a growth culture media for many types of virus and microbes used for biowarfare , especially weaponized versions of influenza virus.
The presence of chickens on site is consistent with the sites purpose as a Chem/Bio Weapons facility.
Where is Rachel Corrie when you need her? Ha ha...
underground fortified chicken farms are pretty suspect too.
Ohhhhhh!!!! Call a Waaaaammmmbulance! Mickey gots a mangled foot!!!
What, no fried chicken lips?
Boy, that joke really fell flat.
The best gas detector is a bird. High metabolism and if there's an interruption in supply, you can eat them.
That joke went right over my head.

Mercyhurst women's rowing team earns spot in Petite Final at nationals
- 'Hurst settles for Petite Final: At Indianapolis, Mercyhurst University's women's varsity eight boat took fourth place in Saturday's repechage event and will settle for a spot in the Petite Final today at the Division II National Championships.
The varsity eight, led by first-team All-American and Strong Vincent graduate Leyla Dombrowski, needed to finish in the top two to advance to the Grand Final Sunday at Eagle Creek Park. But the Lakers crossed the finish line in 8 minutes, 5.62 seconds -- more than 20 seconds behind the rest of the field.
Mercyhurst's varsity four boat lost to Barry University in a head-to-head race for a chance to race again today. Mercyhurst's time of 9:27.47 was just less than 25 seconds behind Barry.

Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!
A little romantic house near lake como. It's a historic stone house, which has been restored beautifully. Perfect for two persons, but also possible with two kids.
Beautiful, comfortable flat with a magnificent view over plage du sillon
Very nice and cosy little appartment. It's small but has everything one needs, the hosts are very friendly, and the location is both quiet and beautiful. Even the dog loved the stay!
I was total satisfied - everything went smoothly. The house was clean and well equipped. Host was very nice and friendly. Nice view and environment. Great places in the neighborhood - worth to visit.
A Nice small apartment in a very nice neighborhood in Venice, few tourists but still good restaurants and very nice people. The host don't speak english but is still very nice and polite. The only thing we missed at the apartment was a AC system because the apartment gets very hot during the summer.
Nicely located apartment with 2 large bedrooms. Big and clean swimmingpool outside to share with the other in the complex. Never crowded. Clean and practical apartment. There were quite a few mosqitoes in July, som should be good to bring mosqitonet to put on the terrace doors to be able to ventilate during the night. No airconditioner installed but night temp. at about 19 degrees C. so ok. You should rent a car to get around/down to the center and beaches. Beautiful scenery.

Social dialogue in this sector covers:
In the EU, around 2 million people are employed in the chemical sector (1.1 % of the EU workforce).
The EU is the leading chemical producing area of the world, representing 28% of world production. The industry has a positive trade balance, playing a key role for the export position of the European economy as a whole.
Challenges include slow demand growth in Europe, high demand growth in Asia, higher production costs and a highly regulated environment. The main regulatory challenge for the sector is the implementation of a workable and cost-effective REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemical substances) system.

91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2007
Good dark red. Currant, minerals, graphite and nutty oak, along with some funkier notes of leather and musky tobacco. Supple, deep and fine-grained but with a cooler character than the 2005. Less black and more red in character than the 2005, throwing off notes of raspberry, mocha, coffee, leather and underbrush. Finishes with substantial, slightly edgy tannins. This one will be fascinating to follow.

In the best American tradition of open inquiry, spirited discussion and practical action, The McCain Institute has re-introduced the practice of structured, reasoned debate on critical challenges facing the United States and the world.
Too often in today's public discourse, we see pre-arranged talking points aimed at political profiling rather than honest debate aimed at problem-solving. McCain Institute debates offer a frank and informed format that aims to build deeper understanding, mutual respect, political civility and decisive action. The debate series is distinctly non-partisan, aiming to look forward at future policy choices, not to look backward to criticize.
Past debate topics include U.S. policy on: Cuba, Syria, China, Afghanistan, Iran, the Defense Budget, Egypt and the Arab Spring, Transatlantic Trade, Drone Warfare, and Russia. Past debaters include former senior government officials and nationally recognized experts from leading organizations such as the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the German Marshall Fund, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, CNN, Fox News, the Wilson Center, Pepperdine University, Human Rights Watch, Stanford University and the RAND Corporation. Debates have been covered by C-SPAN and are also available at mccaininstitute.org.
Every debate is open to the public and made available for television broadcast in order to reach the widest audience possible. The debates are followed by recap 'Decision Notes,' which are crafted by the Institute to provide policymakers, experts, students and others the key points and recommendations raised by each side in the debate, encouraging the reader to come to his or her own conclusion about the choices facing the United States.
Having launched the Debate and Decision Series in Washington, The McCain Institute is expanding the series to other U.S. cities, including Phoenix, Los Angeles and Boston. Each debate attracts nearly 250 audience members – often including senators, ambassadors, former White House officials, journalists, editors, NGO leaders and students – and reaches thousands via live streaming.

A new trend in fitness on the water is making its debut at James Island County Park. Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) Fitness pairs SUP with elements of more traditional fitness classes.
Beginning Sept. 9, iSUP is the first in a series of SUP Fitness programs to be hosted by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission at James Island County Park. iSUP (i stands for "interval") uses intervals of Barre, Pilates and yoga to build core stability, develop upper body strength and lift and tone the lower body.
"The functional, multi-tasking nature of SUP Fitness makes it an ideal workout for anyone looking to burn more calories in a shorter period of time," says CCPRC's Fitness and Wellness Program Manager Allison Foster.
The fall iSUP course is offered Sept. 9 through Oct. 18 at James Island County Park and is led by veteran SUP Fitness instructor Mary Ann Stisher. Participants will meet at the park's boat launch.
All fitness levels are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of experience with SUP. A basic SUP skills overview will be held at the beginning of each class.
"The lake setting makes this the perfect opportunity to develop paddleboarding skills without concern for the tides and currents of open water," says Foster.
Boards, paddles and personal flotation devices will be provided. Also on hand will be an assistant instructor per 10 participants, to ensure safety on the water.
Each course is $30 for residents of Charleston County, or $36 for non-county residents. When registering for multiple courses, rates can drop to as low as $15 per course. Discounts are designed to encourage the registering of multiple courses to optimize progression and results.
Space is limited. For more information or to register, visit www.ccprc.com/SUPFitness or call 843-795-4386.

Play Coins won't get all the new hats

- Play Coins won't get all the new hats
Sadly, with these new games, it is impossible.
Each ticket unlocks a new hat and each ticket can only be won once.
I saw in "Warrior's Way" that to earn one of the tickets, it says "Battle monarchs from afar 300 times."
That essentially means you have to streetpass 300 people for this.
In "Monster Manor", it is possible to get all the tickets with just coins, it seems.
In "Flower Town", they are all nearly "???" so I am not sure there.
In "Mii Force". they are all nearly "???" as well.
So it seems that in 3 of the games, it seems possible with just coins.
But "Warrior's Way", it seems not. You have to "Battle Monarchs from afar 100 and 300 times" to get 2 tickets.
So, without streetpass, it seems you will miss out on 2 hats.
FC is 4038-6283-8425
Thanks for the info. They should be putting out that update soon that makes streetpasses easier, so I'm not getting the games until I see if that will make streetpasses a regular thing for me (right now I get none, pretty much).
Women just want to take your money and eat all your raisin bread.
Parking meters! And you're walking around! Ha ha ha That's so funny.
Gamemaster64 3 years ago#3
I haven't finish the first two set of hats. It like collecting cards. I'm giving up. Especially I have to buy the dumb games to get these stupid tickets to get the stupid hats. The free hat? Pixel mario hat? oh it a mario hat pixellatted..nope it the 8 bit mario sprite floating on top of your head. Complete stupid.
The new bs is stupid. I'm not paying for the games, they should be free like the first two and puzzle swap. Also we shouldn't be getting puzzles for games that aren't on the 3DS. WTF do I want a puzzle of a Wii/U game?! Also Nintendo still haven't learn yet. STOP SENDING OUT BLUE PIECES!!!!!!!
One day one of these new puzzles, EVERYONE going to get a blue piece and no one going to be able to finish it.
Not much of potato he said but potato he wrote.
Without streetpasses (300 to be exact), you cannot 100% "Warrior's Way" and you can't get all of the hats.
Oh, I was wrong.
"Monster Manor" IS ALSO unbeatable without streetpasses.
One ticket says "Team up a total of 10 times" which means 10 streetpasses. That isn't too bad but you still need streetpasses.
"Warrior's Way"= 100 and 300 streetpasses
"Monster Manor"= 10 streetpasses
The other 2 games are unknown since most of the tickets are "???" but you can bet you will need some streetpasses there too.
So, while it does seem Play Coins does nab you the majoirty of tickets/hats, it won't get you them all.
At least 3, if not more, will be unobtainable without streetpasses.
FC is 4038-6283-8425
With "Warrior's Way", there are at least 6 tickets that require streetpasses.
6 hats that you can't get without streetpass.
"Monster Manor", there is at least 1 that you need streetpasses for.
1 hat that you can't get.
So at the very least with these 2 games, there are 7 hats that are unobtainable without streetpasses.
There are most likely even more with the other 2 games.
FC is 4038-6283-8425
Not including the hats you get for free by just buying the games, there are 22 tickets per game.
That means there are 88 tickets to earn. 88 new hats to get.
So, far you need streetpasses for 7.
81/88 hats with just play coins.
Possibly more with the other 2 games.
So, with just play coins, estimating, you will probably only be able to get high 60s to low 70s with just play coins,
69-ish to 79ish hats.
79 is the guess assuming at least 1 ticket requires streetpass for the other 2 games.
69 assuming at least 6 tickets requires steetpasses for the other 2 games.
High 60s to Med-High 70s with just play coins.

Very jealous of comic con people, they'll be making huge progress this month

Even with play coins, it might be TOO MUCH.
"Warrior's Way" has a ticket that says "Assemble an army 1,000,000 strong".
With coins, you need 5 to hire 120 mercenaries.
Essentially, 1 coin pays for 24 of mercenaries.
By calculation, you will need 41,667 coins to hire 1,000,000 people for your army.
If you only walk and get 10 coins a day, it will take you 4167 days to get this.
That is OVER 11 YEARS!!!!!!!
And you can imagine all the shaking somebody has to do for this.

Pax Prime at the end of next month will be immensely better, as it's a gaming thing. The release of these puzzles/games couldn't have been better for me! (I live in Seattle so whether I get tickets to Pax Prime or not I can just sit in the lobby and rack up SPs. lol!)
Aside from the 10 streetpasses, "Monster Manor" seems to be the only one you can beat with Play Coins without a hassle.
You are going to need those 300 streetpasses and "good" streetpasses to assemble an army of 1,000,000 people.
If not, you have to walk for 11 years or shake until your arms become the most muscular arms ever to shake to 41,667 coins.

Little Known Ways to Clear Your Skin with Fish Oil Acne Remedies
Is there really a natural way to clear up your skin? Fortunately, you have come to the right place since I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that harmful topical and oral medications for acne not only don't work but can cause serious damage to your health and your skin. Instead, I encourage you to use natural remedies such as the fish oil acne treatment for a safer and more consistent approach towards healing.
Fish Oil Acne Remedy Benefits
What I first must point out is that there is no one magical product to cure acne, no matter how healthy it seems.
I am a big supporter of the fish oil acne remedy, but there is no way that it is going to work to clear up your skin if it is not also paired with a healthy diet that will flush the toxins from your body that are causing acne in the first place.
In fact, the omega-3s found in fish oil are necessary and part of an optimally healthy diet. The two work hand in hand!
With that being said, as you start to clean up your diet to relieve your acne, you too may be under the common misconception that all fats are bad for your health and your skin. That couldn't be further from the truth!
It is actually a non-negotiable to have good fats in your diet, like omega-3 fatty acids, if you want any hope of maintaining the health of your skin, not to mention the health of your body. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish oil and are the basis of fish oil acne treatments. The most common sources of omega-3s are mackerel, herring, sturgeon, and anchovies, and fish oil can also be found in a variety of supplements.
According to Web M.D., omega-3 fatty acids provide a long list of health benefits that include: [1]
- Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke
- Reduced symptoms of hypertension
- Reduced risk of depression
- Reduced risk of ADHD
- Relief from joint pain and rheumatoid issues
- Treatment of skin ailments
Omega-3 fatty acids provide an impressive range of health benefits, as well as support for the health of the skin because of the simple fact that they boost your immune system.
Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by surface bacteria on the skin. It is actually a result of an imbalanced diet that disrupts healthy digestion and ultimately leads to a weakened immune system. Of course, your skin is one of the first areas to show signs of a damaged immune system, resulting in a weakened barrier that leaves you vulnerable to a number of skin conditions, namely acne.
In laymen terms, your immune system is directly tied to your skin's health!
What Acne Sufferers Had to Say About Fish Oil Acne Remedies
A simple search on the acne.org forums brings up a bunch of testimonials:
Overall, I'd recommend people try fish oil if they haven't given it a bash yet – you never know until you try! I've found it has helped me, and in combination with zinc, it's had a tremendous impact on the overall condition of my skin, not just my acne. My skin is softer and smoother, and my complexion has evened out a fair bit.
Consumed 4g a day (5 800 mg capsules) for about a week after having taken one a day for about a year. May be good for overall health, but certainly didn't noticeably help my skin. Although it may be a coincidence, I also did get far more clogged pores (some of which became inflamed and moved to whiteheads) than before ramping up fish oil consumption.
I started fish oils a couple of years ago for acne + depression after reading about it here! I was taking it for a good long while, but slowly declined and eventually stopped. Just recently I started again, this time investing in the best quality I could find. So far I'm on day 2, and have noticed an immediate difference. My skin feels moisturized from the inside out, and seems to glow. My lips haven't been as dry/cracked. Some of my swollen pimples are already becoming smaller. My hair which is often tangly is tangle free + silky. Last but not least it really does help w/ depression!
Fish Oil Acne Remedies Are the First Step
Now that you understand the great importance of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil acne remedies to strengthen and improve the health of your skin, it is important to point out that this is only one step in the right direction. You can't make the mistake of thinking that you can eat any processed or sugary foods that you want and just take a fish oil acne supplement to clear up your skin. This will not work.
Instead, it is important to balance your diet with fresh vegetables and lean proteins, like wild caught fish. In fact, eating wild caught fish is an even better way to get natural omega-3 fatty acids to improve your skin than simply taking a supplement.
The bottom line is that omega-3s are just one type of fatty acid that are necessary to improve the health of your body from head to toe, reflected in clear skin that is free from acne. It is imperative to get healthy fats from other sources as well, like butyric acid from butter and lauric acid from coconut oil, to improve your immune system and relieve acne in your skin.
Bottom line: Fish oil acne remedies are one step in the right direction and can offer long-term acne relief when coupled with a balanced and healthy diet!

Henrico County police chief to retire
Stanley began as patrol officer in 1962
Henrico County Chief of Police Col. Henry W. Stanley, Jr. announced today that he will retire from the division April 8, concluding nearly 50 years of service with the county.
Stanley joined Henrico Police as a patrol officer on Dec. 1, 1962, rising through the ranks to become chief on Aug. 1, 1995.
"Chief Stanley has demonstrated tireless commitment to public safety in Henrico, and his effective leadership has been a hallmark of this county for many years," said County Manager Virgil R. Hazelett. "We will sorely miss him and the level of excellence he has demonstrated in commanding our nationally accredited Division of Police."
Stanley, whose service with Henrico Police predates the use of flashing lights on the force's vehicles - they first were installed in 1964 - has seen the division become a nationally acclaimed force with some 800 personnel, including more than 580 sworn officers, and a total annual budget of more than $65 million.
"On the first day of my employment as a patrol officer, I knew law enforcement would be my lifetime career," Stanley said. "I am especially proud of the opportunity to lead Henrico Police as its chief. Every member has contributed to the success of this agency and I feel fortunate to have been a part of this outstanding team of professionals.
"I will greatly miss those with whom I have served over the years," he said. "I am confident that the members of Henrico Police will continue our tradition of providing exemplary service to all."
Under Stanley's leadership, Henrico received the Certified Crime Prevention Community designation from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services in 2002. The division has received multiple accreditations from the international Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies and the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission. For six consecutive years, it has captured first place in the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Challenge while also finishing in the top three in a similar competition sponsored by the International Association for Chiefs of Police. An emphasis on community policing has seen the development of initiatives such as the Citizens Police Academy and the Henrico Police Athletic League.
"The leadership of County Manager Virgil Hazelett and each member of the Board of Supervisors contributed to the success of Henrico Police," Stanley said. "They are committed to providing outstanding public safety to our citizens."
Stanley earned a bachelor's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, the FBI National Executive Institute, the Senior Management Institute for Police and the Police Executive Leadership School. He serves on the governor's Secure Commonwealth Panel, the FBI Criminal Justice Advisory Board-Southern Region Working Group and is a board member of the FBI Richmond Regional Joint Terrorism Task Force. He is a past president of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police and also serves on the Virginia Police Chiefs Foundation.

I was honestly going to type up this big retrospective on Sonic for his 20th anniversary before realizing I've pretty much already done that last year and any attempt to try and write anymore on the subject at this point would just be redundant so instead in celebration of Sonic's 20th anniversary I've decided to repost links to what was honestly the longest overall piece of writing I've ever done, the Diary of a Mad Sonic Fanboy series. If you've already read it you don't have to read it again or anything I just felt now is a good time to repost it.
Man 2010 was a year of Sonic reminiscing for me and I'm quite excited about Generations as Sega seems to have finally gotten the memo that Sonic was on his last legs thanks to many misteps/misfires. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to go on this trip down memory lane with me as well and for those new to reading these I hope you enjoy them as much as I did writing them. Thank you. And here's to Sonic turning 20 today. Despite 10 of those years in turmoil, I hope I can look fondly on your 50th anniversary as an old man.

The Lowcountrys housing market has been red hot for much of the year, but recent weeks have been cooling a bit.
Some real estate agents are saying this could be the best time to sell a home, beating the spring blitz.
The regions home sales are on track to reach highs unseen since before the housing meltdown. Low prices and mortgages rates have home sales rolling for much of the year as 200 or more homes have been under contract fairly consitenant during any given week.
But inventory is starting to thin, and the number of homes under contract have slipped under the 200 mark for most weeks since Thanksgiving, according to CharlestonRealEstateStats.com. A lot people are taking their homes off the market for the holiday, said Doug Holmes, an agent with Carolina One Real Estate who analyzes sales market statistics for the website. They dont want to show their homes during Christmas with the presents around the tree.
Holmes said the lull could make it an ideal time for sellers to put their home on the market.
Price dispute
Last weeks item about the 2012 Coldwell Banker Home Listing Report that ranked Mount Pleasant at the top in the state for priciest residential listings sparked some reaction and questions. Notably: Why werent homes on the Charleston-areas pricy barrier islands included?
The reports findings was based on the average listing price of four-bedroom homes with two bathrooms among 72,000 home listings in more than 2,500 markets.
Kimber Smith, broker in charge at Akers Ellis Real Estate & Rentals on Johns Island, pointed out that on Kiawah Island, the average price on four-bedroom homes at $1.8 million. That surely tops Mount Pleasants $378,164 average cited in the report.

LBT best model to replace octroi in BMC, says panel

The state government should impose local body tax (LBT) as the most effective alternative to replace octroi in Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), as per the findings of an expert committee constituted to conduct a study and provide an alternative model to replace octroi in municipal corporations in Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nagpur. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday discussed the issue with finance ministry officials. The state government wants to abolish octroi to usher in more effect, accountable and transparent model of tax collection system.
The committee recommends registration of criminal offence against individuals evading the local body tax. However, it cautions against its misuse suggesting it would be slapped only occasionally in cases where it is must.
The octroi is a tax levied on the goods at the entry in the city. It is taken in cash on daily basis. Whereas, local body tax is a lumsum amount charges on the value of goods. The local body tax is payable within 40 days of bringing the goods in the city.
The chief minister has been under pressure from traders and industries demanding the abolition of octroi in BMC as it creates a lot of hassles and cumbersome.
The Shiv Sena which is ruling party in BMC is staunchly opposed to the abolition of octroi as it fears it would advserly affect the revenue generation for the BMC. The BMC mayor Sunil Prabhu indicated, " Almost 45 per cent of the revenue generated in BMC comes through octroi. He cautions the government against hasty decision in taking the step."
Chavan is confident that local body tax, if implemented effectively , could yield the desired results. As per government data, BMC collects Rs 6,100 crore from octroi collection. The total budget of BMC for 2012-13 was Rs 26,581 crore. The BJP which is an alliance partner of the Shiv Sena in BMC has different views as it wants the octroi abolished. The Congress and NCP will have to resolve their internal differences before taking a decision on octroi abolition.

Title development is extremely important. Nothing can kill interest like a "dull" title. Sometimes incorporating the title in the manuscript can be helpful, but sometimes a catchy creative illiterative title that conveys the spirit, or essence of the manuscript can be the best approach.
I'm currently working on a short story that is tentatively titled: "Big Time". It is about a group of rogue Operants in the U.S. Government fighting to bring down a "secret corrupt society" within the sociopolitical structure of the U.S. of A., the title is incorporated within the story. The manuscript delves into the most guarded aspects of Government and Society.
On the other hand, my first novel published through createspace, takes a different approach. It is titled: Tantric Voodoo. I chose this title because it conveys the 'spirit' or essence of the Novel. Always keep your minds open to new things, no contempt prior to investigation. Great things can come to the open mind.
Hi everyone. Here is the book trailer to introduce my first series, The Andley Sisters Series. Book One is now out on Amazon.com. It is a Historical Christian Romance Series.
Thank you,
Hi Community, As I posted Saturday that this is my first illustrated children storybook about animated orange and black butterfly title There Is Nothing More Beautiful Than My Butterfly Wings. So I would love to have your honor feedback about this storybook. So if you have some time please review my book, please.
Thank You!!!
That is what poems are. They are not found in the Bible, but take a look around you, for they are not far. T
These poems give glory to God. They talk about the One I love. They also talk about the land I trod.
Some of these poems will speak about the evil that is in this world. But they will also tell you about how the Devil was overcome. Yes by only One, God's Son.
These really are just undiscovered psalms that God did not have enough room to put into His Good Book.
Now stop for just one moment and take a look.
In these undiscovered psalms you can find some comfort for your pain.. Read these undiscovered psalms and never be the same.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my debut novel "A Leap in the Dark" is available for purchase on createspace and Amazon as of today. It's a semi-autobiographical account of an important period in my life when i was working various dead end jobs and first trying to make it as a writer and the crucial relationship with a mysterious woman that altered the course of my previously uneventful life. I'm very excited to share my work with you.

I hope the novel (and poetry) resonates with you and you find it enjoyable.
A real man will have a desire to be with a real woman,but a man will get with any woman. A real man has learned from his ways but a man won't a real man will accept you for who you have become but a man will only tolerate you, A real man will fight for your honor because God told him who you were but a man will deceive you, A real man will fear losing you but stay confident in God's word but a man will careless

Have you wondered what goes through the mind of a patient in isolation for nine months? What keeps them going?
June is a 10 year old girl who goes on vacation with her brother and grandmother to Europe and has the time of her life. Six months after their return from vacation, a mysterious "THING" referred to as "Noma" attacks one of the travelers spiraling them out of control. June tells her story of being in a crazy and scary environment revealing unexpected powers that help in coping with loneliness. June finds unusual friends during the darkest days. Lady Bird, the dog, ole folks, Alex and G-Mom play a pivotal role during the journey through a tunnel of darkness.
I am interested in marketing techniques that have worked well in advertising books to parents and teachers of middle school children. My objective is to elevate awareness about the benefits of pet therapy and strong family relationships for children who have special needs or life threatening diseases.

http://www.createspace.com/Preview/1196234On Sept. 6th i'll be self-publishing my debut novel, "A Leap in the Dark." It's a semi-autobiographical book about a crucial period in my life when i was bouncing from one dead end job to another, contending with annoying customers and co-workers and trying to take my first steps into the literary world. It also chronicles my brief relationship with a mysterious woman, an on again off again relationship that altered the course of my previously by the book life, both on and off the page. The book took about 4 years to live and about 4 weeks to write and it's very dear to me. I'm thrilled to share it with everyone in the createspace community and beyond. I hope you enjoy the book, those who read it. Above is a link to the latest preview for the book. I hope you enjoy it and want to read more.
"I was hoping I could hire you to make a few potions for me and maybe work a spell or two?"
"Ok, what do you need? I usually only work with couples, I am a witch, but I am also a psychologist. If I can't help you, I'm sure I can refer you to someone who can." She said helpfully.
"Well, I need something for protection, and something to erase memories." I tried to keep my voice calm and polite like hers.
She started to giggle and when I frowned in confusion she laughed even harder.
"What?" I asked becoming more confused by the second. What had I said that she found so **** funny?
"You are dating a human and you're a vampire, why would you need protection?" She was now laughing so hard she was almost doubled over. "You can't catch anything and you can't get knocked up."
"What?" I asked, before it suddenly hit me what she found so funny. "No, I told you everything there is fine. I need something to protect me from an attack."
"Oh!" She said trying to stop laughing.
I waited for her to pull herself together, becoming a little angry. Why had I thought she could help me? She was little more than a child!
"I'm so sorry! Most people who ask for those potions are asking for a totally different reason." She said a little breathlessly. "Of course I can do those, when do you need them by and what type of attack are we talking about?"
"Type?" I asked, confused again.
"Magical? Physical? Or both?" Justine seemed to have become older all of a sudden and very business like.
"I'm not sure, I would think physical, but maybe you could make one for both just to be safe." If Zurk had powers like the diary had said, I might need both.
"Ok, and what type of memory charm do you need?" She asked.
"What type can you do?" I asked not sure what I should ask for. As old as I was, I had never been to a witch for help before and had no idea what this one could do. When she didn't smile or get an attack of mirth she seemed much older and mature. Maybe she was more powerful than I had thought; now watching her more closely. She seemed to have aged and there were tiny lines at the corners of her mouth and eyes that I could swear had not been there before. How old was she?
She seemed to notice my sudden scrutiny and smiled, "I can see you are starting to see past the glamour now."
Glamour? I wondered what she meant and then she dropped it! Ra! She was much older than I had thought!
"How did you do that? I had no idea that a witch could use glamour as well as the valkyrie's, fairies and elves." I said in shock.
Justine smiled and said, "Some witches can only brew potions, and some can do both. I can do both and my glamour is just a spell. Not that hard really." She said dismissively.
I continued to stare and she said, "I am a hundred and one. Most of us live to around two hundred, as I am sure you know. We learn more as we go and can become quite good at what we do."
"I guess so." I stated, not sure what else to say to this.
"So, back to memory charms. I can do a short-term spell or a long-term spell, depending on when you want them to remember or permanent if you want them to never remember. However, those are not always permanent. They can hire a witch to break the spell or sometimes something can happen to break the spell. There is no guarantee on those, other than I promise not to undo a spell that I am paid to do. You have my word on that." Justine said in a very business like tone and was now sounding much closer to her real age.
"What types of things can break the spell?" I asked wondering now if there was even a point in using one.
"Different things, but I'll give you a few examples. I once did a spell for a man, I had no idea what he was going to use it for or I would never have helped him. He said that his child had died and his wife was so distraught that she had tried to kill herself; He wanted to take the pain away. I told him that even seeing a photo of the child could break the spell, trauma is very hard to forget and can leak out in many ways if not dealt with. He said he just wanted his wife back and that he wanted her safe. I agreed to help him and made a permanent potion for him to give her." She said sounding very upset. The Justine I had met in the parking lot was gone and a weary old woman was now sitting in front of me.
"Did it work?" I asked quietly.
"Yes and no." She sighed and stood up. She walked to the window and stood facing it, but it was plain that she was not seeing the backyard as I was. She was seeing something that seemed to age her by years in just moments.
"I found out later that he kidnapped a woman and tortured her, raped her too. Before he let her go, he gave her the potion. When the IPA found her she had no idea that she had been missing for two months or that anything had happened. She just walked into work that day as if no time had passed at all. She had been on her way to work when he grabbed her, you see."
"The IPA officers assigned to the case were a witch and a human. The witch could feel the spell on her and tried to break it, but was unable to. She was quite young and not very experienced yet. So they worked the case the old fashioned way and never made any progress."
"What happened?" I asked, knowing there was more to the story by her tone.
Justine never turned to look at me, but continued talking anyway. "She was at dinner with some friends about a year later when a man hit on one of her friends. The trauma he did to her was so great that just seeing him broke the spell and the memories flooded back. As, I understand it she completely freaked out and her friends called the IPA. He was arrested and sent to prison. When I heard about it on the news, I knew what had happened, that he had lied to me; I went to the IPA and reported what I knew. She sued me and won."
"I'm so sorry. That must have been awful." I could not imagine the guilt she must suffer.
"It was, but I learned my lesson. I am now much more careful who I work for." She turned and smiled sadly.
"Can you tell if a spell has been used on someone? To erase a memory?" I asked. I wondered if she could bring back my memories of what had really happened to me.
"Yes, why?" She asked.
"I was wondering if one has been used on me?"
"You?" She asked, looking completely surprised. "Vampires are very different, memory spells do not work on vampires. I can make a spell for any human and almost any fae, but not a vampire. I have never heard of any witch who can."
Well, then how could I have no memory of anything happening to me? Was it possible that the women Evan spoke of in his diary were not us? Maybe my nightmares were just from the fear I was feeling, reading that stupid diary and nothing had ever happened to me.
"Ain? Why would you think that a spell was used on you?" She asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have been having strange dreams lately and some things have happened to make me wonder if there are gaps in my memory that I'm unaware of."
"Well, I can try to use a charm to see what is missing, but again, vampires are different, I have no idea if it will even work. But, I thought you wanted a charm to erase a memory, not recover one." She was now watching me curiously as if I had changed before her eyes.
"Maybe both, I'm not sure yet. What else can break the spell? You said there were several things."
Still watching me closely, she said. "Oh, well there was a woman once who wanted to forget her ex-boyfriend had ever been a part of her life, she used it on herself and of course he came by her house a few days later and the spell broke when she answered the door." She smiled and I laughed a little.
"I have heard of some spells being broken after a head injury, or smelling a loved ones perfume and once a man remembered his dead wife when he drove past the church they were married in. Some memories are tied to places and some are tied to people or smells, if the memory is strong, or traumatic and the trigger is an important part of the memory it can happen. There's no real way to guarantee that the spell is permanent because so many things can trigger it coming back."
"What if I just want someone to forget that he told me something that he was told not to? Or I want him to forget about sex with me? No trauma, I have no intention of hurting him in anyway, I just don't want him to remember the event." I sounded like a crazy person!
"There are easier and cheaper ways to have a one night stand than using a memory charm, and you could just ask him." Justine said.
"This is not someone I want to have sex with." I stated as if I wasn't lying to myself as well as her. "And I don't want to take the chance that he tells anyone that he told me something."
At this she raised her eyebrows and just stared at me for a few moments. When I didn't say anything, she asked, "Then why would you have sex with him?"
I didn't answer as I tried to think of what to say.
"Oh, you have been ordered to?" She asked.
I must have looked surprised, because she smiled again and said, "You are not the first vampire I have met you know. I have never met one ordered to bed someone, but I do know that you guys have no choice if ordered to do something by your leaders. You have very steep punishments if you do not follow orders."
Yes we did and my punishment would be never ending.
"Alright, I will try to help you. Who is the spell for?" She asked.
Surprised, I told her he was a were. She seemed concerned at this; maybe she knew what that would mean; but said she would call me when the potions were ready.
Throughout history there have always been legends told of vampires and fae by humans. Some are true, some are fairy tales, but as always, the truth lies somewhere in between. I never believed any of these stories until I became a part of them myself. I found there was a whole new world to which humans were completely unaware. Once I knew the truth, I wish I hadn't.
Ain is a modern day vampire living in a time where disease has wiped out two thirds of the human population. The fae have come out of hiding, and vampires now had secrets they must keep from humans in an effort to preserve peace.
Through her story, Ain is drawn into a complex web of lies and deceit. She must decide if she can keep all secrets, even those she feels are wrong, knowing that she will have to forfeit her life if she doesn't. Her struggle to save her race is heightened by others who want the truth to come out and risk unraveling her life completely.

When it comes to the indie publishing world, things have never been so exciting and daunting for us writers. These days, it's not enough to write a book, come up with a description, and go on social media to market it. Now, many writers are making book trailers. Luckily, I have a tech savvy husband who knows how to make anything work out whenever it comes to the computer.
We came up with this "music video" for our murder mystery "Fighting Demons: A New Orleans Mystery." I wrote the text and we both chose the pictures to show them on. I wanted the music to be slightly mysterious and more, important, it needed to be by a New Orleans musician. There are so many classics from which to choose. Ultimately, we picked Sidney Bechet's rendition of Summertime because not only is it fantastic, but it also corresponds with the mood of our story.
I've been looking at other book trailers and found one intriguing video that had each letter appear on the screen one-by-one, as if someone was typing them. I thought that it looked slightly "film noire": perfect for a mystery by Raymond Chandler, for instance.
So, without further ado, here is our music video/ book trailer for "Fighting Demons: A New Orleans Mystery."
Our book is available for $ 2.99 at Amazon, iTunes, Barnes and Noble,
Google Play, Smashwords and Kobo
Also available in Paperback at
Amazon and Createspace
Our world together has never been, and never will be at peace. In the short time I have walked this earth, i've learned a couple of things about the people surrounding me. How some may learn differently, see things differently, look at things differently. Though, one of the most important things I have learned about the people around me is that no matter your actions, nor words, never, will everyone be happy. Some people may disagree, some may agree. It's a simple fact of life.
I've had my own experience with this idea when I was much younger. When I was arriving to my 1st year of elementary school I was as naive as any child. I thought for once in my young life, I could have the chance to be a big kid. I thought so fond of the fact that I was given more responsibility, I thought I could do anything. That year of 1st grade I made friends with most of my class. Going into that year, I wasn't too experienced with people of different religions, or color. My family had always been supportive of everything. Remembering back to those years I could at least remember before, though, I was pretty much protected from the fact that there were bad things that happened in the world all the time. I was never told to expect hate from other people because of what I believed in, or what I looked like, or who i associated with.
During this year I met who I know now as a Muslim follower, my friend Muhammad. My friend at the time, Muhammad, was always so nice to me. I have always felt bad for him because of a disability that had tormented his life, that left him paralyzed from the waist down, leaving him, even as a first grader, in a motorized wheelchair. Being in a wheelchair, he was always left as an outcast to the rest of my class, and no one ever wanted to talk or play with him. Being the open spirit that I am, I decided to pursue a friendship with him. Muhammad's personality was very outspoken. There isn't much to say about his personality, except that he was usually grumpy or sad, due to having restrictions over what he could and couldn't do like the rest of the kids. One day, however, my friendship with Muhammad halted unexpectedly, when he came to school that day with some bad news. Being Muslim, his faith of his family and him that he was taught speaks that Muslim's can have no relations with Christian followers, and that as a Muslim he was supposed to execute me. Getting this news, Muhammad also informed me that his family did not want us talking anymore after he told them about me, and that he was also supposed to shoot me on stage as I get my diploma when I graduate my senior year of highschool. Getting this news that day, I thought, scarred me for life, though now I use it as a growing point of my understanding of people's faiths and beliefs that are rightfully given to everyone as humans. This experience had completely opened my eyes to the world around me. Looking back on his perspective now, Muhammad completely obeyed his faith, his parents, and in his, and many other people's minds, he did a service for his gathered community. In other's minds, he did a disservice. This concept completely helps me to understand anyone's point of view through thier eye's. Though I may not believe what was said or what was threatened was right, we both had faith for what we were taught to believe in, and we stuck with it.

Through The Eyes Of (Writing) - Cameron Elgin -
(Prolouge) /(Disclaimer)
Many people treat life sometimes as a burden to themselves. They ask questions like, "Why am i here?" or "What is my purpose?" The burden of life itself in my mind or your own at times is like the lingering sense that you're being watched. You can't quite get rid of it, and it's hard not to think about it either.
As a young teenager, my life hasn't been much of a significance to anyone. I have my family, and my friends to observe beside me, people I just look up to even. Though, when it comes down to the truth, I must accept the fact that I can't achieve much based on my current circumstances, and that goes for many people. Many people with a truly remarkable look on something or opinion of aren't always given a chance to say what they want to say.
I wrote this book Through The Eyes Of as an example of everyone's opinions in certain matters based on my own understanding and observation throughout my life. These perspectives may take on touchy topics in some people's lives, political events, and even world understanding. I mean no disrespect to anyone. Throughout my life i've learned very much about people's perspectives, whether they mean good or bad to you, I am here for you, the reader, to help shed some light to everyone, no matter what you believe in, who you are, what you do, or how you think. Please Enjoy.
(Please leave suggestions and/or if you like the idea of this! I'm very excited to start writing but I need feedback if anyone would actually read this! Thank you!)

At some point in your life, there may be a chance where you experience an issue that may require you to seek the advice of one of the many criminal solicitors in Manchester. However, before you take the step of hiring a lawyer, there are a few tips that you should keep in mind first.
*First, determine if your problem is one that actually requires the services of a lawyer. For instance, think about your problem carefully and determine if you will actually be able to resolve it on your own. Additionally, think about how urgent and immediate your problem may be.
*Take the time to search for a lawyer that suits your specific needs. Think about taking more than one lawyer into consideration in order to give yourself some options.
*Before you hire any lawyer, take the time to check out their record, as this will determine whether or not you will have any chance of success working with them.
*In the event that things do not work out with a lawyer that you hire, make note of all of the steps that you can take to fire them without any difficulties.
*Always know about what your various options are. Additionally, make sure that any lawyer you speak to reiterates those same options to you.
*No matter what, always establish a set of ground rules with any lawyer that you decide to hire Manchester immigration solicitors in order to avoid getting into any difficult situations with them.
*Always be realistic about any legal fees that you may be responsible for paying.
*Take the time to evaluate your lawyer as much as possible. If you are unhappy with them for any reason, you are well within your rights to do something to fix the situation, which may include firing them and hiring someone else.
