- Women/Maternal
- Adolescence (12-18 years)
The proposed four-year study is a continuation of the Early Intervention Collaborative Study (EICS) of children and families who participated in early intervention services because of a child's special needs identified before 24 months of age. This phase of our longitudinal study will focus on the approximately 120 adolescents as they turn 18, a critical transition point for them and their families. The general aims are to examine the social-emotional outcomes of adolescents with developmental disabilities and the well-being of their parents. Analyses will focus on modeling change and testing specific hypothesized predictors of change over multiple periods in regards to behavior problems and peer acceptance of adolescent and child-related stress and depression reported by their mothers and fathers. Hypotheses specifying contemporaneous predictors of adolescent autonomy and maternal and paternal well-being will also be tested. The purpose of this project is to provide empirical information on healthy development in adolescents with special needs and their families, which will aid the construction of policies, programs, and practices for this important group of youth.

When should couples seek infertility treatment?
Couples should seek medical help if the woman has been unable to achieve pregnancy following six months (1 year if the woman's is under 35 years old) of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Women with history of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, miscarriage, or irregular or painful menstrual cycles, or men with low sperm count, who are having difficulty having a baby may benefit from consulting with a physician earlier. Approximately 15% of couples have difficulty conceiving. This percentage continues to rise making it very difficult or impossible for many couples to conceive without medical assistance. The Fertility Institute of Hawaii was founded to provide advanced fertility treatment for the infertile couples in Hawaii, the Pacific, Australia and Asia. As the premier IVF clinic in Hawaii and the Pacific, the Fertility Institute of Hawaii offers all fertility services with some of the best pregnancy rates in the world.
The Fertility Institute of Hawaii was founded by Dr. John Frattarelli who is a world renowned expert in infertility and In Vitro Fertilization with over 20 years experience treating infertile couples. Dr. Frattarelli has participated in over 25,000 fertility treatment cycles resulting in over 10,000 babies. This makes Dr. Frattarelli one of the most experienced fertility physicians performing infertility treatments and IVF in Hawaii.

|Merlot Line leads Bruins to 3-0 series lead
|05.21.13 at 10:11 pm ET
NEW YORK — The Bruins' fourth line stole the spotlight from Henrik Lundqvist Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden as the Bruins came back in the third period to beat the Rangers, 2-1, and take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
With the B's trailing by a goal entering the third period, the Merlot Line produced goals in two if its first four third-period shifts, the latter of which yielded a funky go-ahead goal from Daniel Paille off a rebound that went off Lundqvist's mask and stayed in the air for a good amount of time before landing on the door step. Johnny Boychuk produced Boston's first goal (his fourth of the postseason) on a shot from the point that had to make its way through some traffic that was led by Shawn Thornton.
Tyler Pyatt redirected a shot past Tuukka Rask at 3:53 of the second period to give the Rangers the lead in the second period after the teams skated to a scoreless first. The goal came on a rather uncharacteristic shift for Patrice Bergeron on which he lost the faceoff and then was unable to get a clearing attempt out of the zone.
But that was the only harm done against Rask, who turned in his latest superb performance highlighted by a pair of big saves on Rick Nash in the third period.
The Bruins will have the opportunity to finish off the Rangers Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
WHAT WENT RIGHT FOR THE BRUINS Read the rest of this entry »
NEW YORK — Did the Bruins learn their lesson in the first round?
The lesson that they, as a Cup-winning team that had been embarrassed by a blown 3-0 series in the past, probably didn't need taught to them? The lesson that nearly led to them being eliminated by Toronto and having their roster and coaching staff shaken up?
The lesson, of course, is that you never take a lead in a series for granted. You don't go up in a series and assume that it's won, and you don't give your opponent any chance to get back in the series. The Bruins broke all those rules in the first round against the Maple Leafs, when they took a 3-1 lead and let Toronto force a seventh game with consecutive wins.
It took a monumental collapse from the Maple Leafs late in Game 7 for the Bruins to survive that and get through to the second round. Now that they've taken a 2-0 series lead on the Rangers, that killer instinct that wasn't there before needs to start kicking in.
"I think we need to be aware with them being down, 2-0, and realize that they're going to be a lot better," Daniel Paille said Tuesday. "We felt that we had two strong games, but we can always improve. We don't want to do too much, just add a little bit more effort and add a little bit more grit."
Keep in mind that the Rangers dropped the first two games of their first-round series against the Capitals before storming back and winning it in seven. They've been in this position before and they've survived it, so the B's had better expect a big push from John Tortorella's squad.
"We don't want to lose two games here," the Rangers coach said after New York dropped Game 2 on Sunday. "No one does. But there's no give in the team. There will be no give in this team. Again, we need to go win a game. Not look anywhere else, just try to win our first home game this series."
The good news for the Bruins is that they have swept two of the last three series in which they've held a 2-0 lead. They swept the Canadiens in 2009 and swept the Flyers in 2011, but sandwiched in there was their embarrassing seven-game elimination against the Flyers after holding a 3-0 series lead. While they haven't won the first two games of a series since sweeping the Flyers, the only time they've held a two-game lead in a series since was this month against the Maple Leafs.
That means two of the last four series in which the B's have held a two-game lead have resulted in sweeps, but the other two series have gone to seven games. They lost one of those series and they should have lost the other, so the B's shouldn't feel too satisfied just because they've got some breathing room.
"Obviously this is a huge game for both teams," Chris Kelly said. "Killer instinct? I think we just want to go out and play well, play a solid 60 minutes and worry about our game and see what happens."
|Patrice Bergeron: 'It's not bad to win in regulation'
|05.19.13 at 1:43 pm ET
The Bruins are hoping to keep up their one-goal magic in Game 2 against the Rangers.
The Bruins can take a 2-0 lead against the Rangers with a win at TD Garden before the series shifts to New York for Games 3 and 4.
"The last two games were good," Shawn Thornton said. "I don't have a ton of confidence in overtime. I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time. But the experience we've had in the last few years, the core group here, helps in the extra frame. We're not jumpy, we're not edgy. We're trying to control pucks and play our game. That's helped. These are two teams pretty evenly matched. There are going to be a lot of close games. Let's hope we can continue to feed off that experience."
Thornton would like his fourth line to finally put one in the net after coming so close in the last two games.
"We're pretty deep as far as the lines go," Thornton said. "I'm still waiting for us to chip in. We've talked about it. Listen, we've been close. We've had a ton of chances. We're not putting them in right now. It'd be nice if we could take the pressure off some of the big boys with a couple of goals from our line.
"With three different guys [scoring in overtime so far], it's kind of been the thing for our team the last few years. When we're successful, we have everyone chipping at different times. That needs to continue for us to have success."
Daniel Paille, another member of the Merlot line with Thornton, was asked about what a 2-0 series lead would do for the Bruins.
"If the situation like that were to come today, we'd feel pretty good about ourselves but we try not to jump too far ahead," Paille said. "New York was down 2-0 in [last series] and they fought back to win the series and won two games at home right away. Obviously, we want to put ourselves in that position but we have to do the little things first."
"I think every second, every shift is important and it's about making sure you're ready for that one shift," Patrice Bergeron said when asked about the overtime magic. "It goes with experience, also. We've been through it so many times, we know what to expect. We know that we have to keep putting pressure to keep going at to get some results. It's not bad either to win in regulation, also. If you do have to go into overtime, you have to keep your poise but still keep attacking."
|Finishing touch: How Daniel Paille has become a more dangerous penalty-killer
|05.06.13 at 11:25 pm ET
TORONTO — There have been few better stories with this Bruins team than Daniel Paille, a former first-round pick (and one of the nicer guys in the game) who never became a big star, carving out an important role with Boston. It isn't glamorous, but Paille has a job as a fourth line left winger and penalty-killer, and he does it exceptionally.
Paille had his best campaign with the Bruins in the regular season, scoring 10 goals — two of which were shorthanded — and adding seven assists for 17 points. That point total is two less than his previous Boston best set in 2009-10, but he did it in 28 less games.
The Bruins value their penalty-killers, but Paille, like Brad Marchand, is more than a penalty-killer. His ability to create shorthanded scoring opportunities semi-regularly can be a game-changer, and he proved it once again on Monday when he intercepted a Phil Kessel pass intended for Dion Phaneuf and raced to the net before beating James Reimer with a backhander to make it a 4-1 game.
It's easy to see why Paille is capable of creating as many scoring opportunities on the penalty kill — he's smart and he's fast — but this season it seems that he's done had more chances on the PK than ever before.
"I think I'm a lot more confident with the puck in knowing what I need to do on breakaways and trying to find out certain weaknesses," Paille said. "I like when there's pressure on me and then I'm not thinking about it. It makes it a lot easier for me to just react instead of think."
As for the issue of finishing, which has plagued him throughout his career, Paille said that taking a calmer approach has allowed him to capitalize once he does have a scoring opportunities. He remembers trying to shoot as hard as he could in the past, but now he focus on placement above all else. That was apparent on his backhander to beat Reimer in the second.
Zdeno Chara praised Paille's positioning and use of his speed in noting what makes the 29-year-old such a threat on the penalty kill. You can't count out Paille's smarts either.
'I just try to read plays at the same time,' Paille said. 'Honestly, I try not to over-commit, but at the same time I want to have my stick there where they can't pass it. In that situation I was able to get a piece of it and it stopped dead for me. That's where I have to use my speed to get ahead of the other guy.'
|No hearing for Dion Phaneuf regarding hit on Daniel Paille
|05.05.13 at 10:54 am ET
According to multiple reports, there will be no hearing with the league for Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf regarding his high hit on Bruins forward Daniel Paille in the third period of Saturday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
With less than eight minutes to play, Paille played the puck along the boards at center ice before getting hit high by Phaneuf, whose shoulder appeared to cut Paille's nose. Though the play looked worse at full-speed, replays show that it was not an elbow. Phaneuf was not penalized for the play.

|Fourth line getting into postseason form for Bruins
|04.26.13 at 12:55 am ET
It's getting to be the time of year when tight games are often decided by players like Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton. As the Bruins wrapped up home ice in the first round of the playoffs with a 2-0 win over the Lightning on Thursday, their Merlot Line came through with a goal that solidified the victory, playing the way they'll likely need to when the postseason begins.
Paille became a 10-goal scorer for the first time since 2009-10 at 13:31 of the second. Campbell found him open at the top of the right circle and sent the puck right into his wheelhouse, setting up Paille to fire a one-timer past Tampa Bay goalie Anders Lindback.
Paille had three shots and another that was blocked on Thursday, as many as any Bruin. Although they weren't all over the scoresheet, the fourth line was one of the Bruins' most energetic, creating chances with an aggressive forecheck and consistently maintaining possession in the Lightning's zone.
'We know, for our line, if we don't score it's not a big deal, but the main goal for us is to create as much energy as we can and it felt like we did that today,' Paille said. 'With [Thornton] taking the puck from a couple of guys, and [Campbell] as well, you know, I thought we all contributed in a positive way today, even if we didn't score.'
Entering Thursday's game, the trio had a combined 16 goals on the year. They're not on the ice to score on every shift, but the Bruins will welcome any offensive contributions from them, especially with just two games left in the regular season. And although they haven't been exempt from the Bruins' recent line-shuffling, Paille acknowledged that the three of them do always seem to wind up back together.
'We know we're not going to play a ton of minutes, but we're happy with who we play with,' Paille said. 'And I think that's a big thing going on the last few years that we've been here.'
Bruins coach Claude Julien said he thought that line did its job on Thursday, overcoming some issues it had earlier in the year.
'There's some confidence there — you know, [Campbell] making that pass and Paille not hesitating, great shot, and the goaltender didn't have much time to get across,' Julien said. 'So overall making the right plays and keeping pucks in down low and battling. And [Thornton], the same thing. Not only that, but they've had some challenges at times this year where they weren't making good line changes and leaving the next line … hanging. But they were sharp in all those areas tonight, so I thought they were good.'
|Bruins prepare for emotional return to action
|04.17.13 at 12:41 pm ET
Wednesday will be an emotional night at TD Garden, as the Bruins' contest against the Sabres marks the first professional sporting event in Boston since Monday's bombings at the Marathon.
"We don't only need to be ready, but we need to show that we want to support everyone in the city," Daniel Paille said after Wednesday's morning skate.
The security was ramped up at TD Garden Wednesday, with all entrants being tested with a security wand and having their bags checked thoroughly. Additionally, the Bruins' helmets now have "Boston Strong" decals on the back.
It isn't the game-day experience everyone's used to in which you go to the morning skate, go home and come back to play a game with the rest of one's everyday life sprinkled in. It's amplified and it's more emotional because the seconds spent off the ice are occupied by dealing with Monday's events. The important thing, Claude Julien said, is that the Bruins use their emotions for good Wednesday night.
"It's a natural thing to still be emotional, but yesterday's practice had a lot of energy. Today's skate, we seemed to be showing a lot of energy," Julien said. "The only thing left is to bring it to the game and really put it in the right place where we can do what we want to accomplish."
What the Bruins hope to accomplish is obvious. They want to give Boston not only a distraction from its grieving, but, to quote Brad Marchand from Tuesday, "something to believe in." They can't make everything better, but they can help.
"The one thing I sense from our team is we have the ability to maybe help people heal and find some reason to smile again by representing our city properly," Julien said. "To me, this is a time when you're proud to be associated with a professional team. Even the NHL and all professional sports. When you look at the support this city's had from rivals and everything else that are giving us support at this time, it's amazing. We have an opportunity to make our city proud, and I think we're all in for it. Hopefully we can do that for the city right now."
Folks get into the National Anthem every game, but it figures to be an impassioned scene prior to Wednesday's game. The players have felt the weight of Monday's events like the rest of the city, so they'll have to deal with the challenge of keeping it together once they hit the ice.
"Obviously it's going to be emotional in the beginning, we're going to show respect, but after that, for the next two and a half hours, we just have to play the game," David Krejci said. "It's all we can do to give something to Boston to be happy about."

Labour's shadow cabinet take their seats
December 23, 2011 by Grace Franklin · Leave a Comment
Johann Lamont, the new Scottish Labour Party Leader wasted no time in appointing her shadow cabinet.
Meeting for the first time in this week leading to Christmas, the Shadow Cabinet sorted out their portfolios.
A mix of experienced former ministers and newer voices 'to speak on the important issue for Scotland,' the Leader said: 'Our job will not just be to hold the Scottish Government to account, but to show our party's ambition again. Together we must set out and convince the people of Scotland of Labour's vision for our country. Ours is a positive vision for a prosperous Scotland that can pay its own way, a wealth-creating Scotland that uses its wealth to build a fairer country, a Scotland determined that not one person's talent is wasted, a Scotland that challenges all Scots to be all that they can be, and which creates the conditions in which we can reach our aspirations.'
Flanked by her deputy, Anas Sarwar and Margaret Curran, Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland, the Pollok MSP's team is:
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth – Ken Macintosh
Shadow Minister for Energy, Enterprise and Tourism – Rhoda Grant
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health, Wellbeing and Cities Strategy – Jackie Baillie
Shadow Minister for Public Health – Richard Simpson
Shadow Minister for Social Justice – Drew Smith
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning – Hugh Henry
Shadow Minister for Children and Young People – Neil Bibby
Shadow Minister for Learning and Skills – Neil Findlay
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Culture, External Affairs and the Commonwealth Games – Patricia Ferguson
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure and Capital Investment – Richard Baker
Shadow Minister for Housing and Transport – Elaine Murray
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Justice – Lewis Macdonald
Shadow Minister for Community Safety and Legal Affairs – Jenny Marra
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Planning – Sarah Boyack
Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment – Claire Baker
Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change – Claudia Beamish
Shadow Minister for Youth Employment (attending shadow cabinet and working with education and finance teams) – Kezia Dugdale
Scottish Labour Parliamentary Business Manager – Paul Martin
Chief Whip – James Kelly
Shadow Whip – John Pentland
In addition, Johann Lamont has asked Tom Harris MP to review how Scottish Labour uses technology to campaign. He will report to the deputy leader Anas Sarwar. Mr Harris will also work with Shadow Cabinet Secretary Richard Baker to advise on capital investment and infrastructure.
In making her final announcements to complete her team Johann Lamont said: 'Scottish Labour has an excellent set of newly-elected MSPs and I am very pleased to have appointed eight of them to front bench roles. Together, over the coming months, we will be working hard to change Scottish Labour.'
In the new year she intends to make further shadow cabinet appointments from beyond the world of politics.
Labour leadership contest hots up
September 25, 2011 by Grace Franklin · Leave a Comment
Westminster MP Anas Sarwar (Glasgow Central) is the latest to bid for Labour Party leadership in Scotland. He's set his sights on the deputy leader post and joins Westminster senior colleague Tom Harris (Glasgow South) and MSPs Johann Lamont (Pollok) and Ken Mackintosh (Eastwood) who had earlier declared their interest in being leader.
Sarwar, who has been a constant supporter of the Glasgow inspired campaign for human rights in the Gambia, put his hat into the ring this weekend in time for the Labour Party conference in Liverpool (Sat 24/Sun 25 September) when the Scottish rule changes will be debated. He said: 'I want to work with the Party leader to make sure we are an electable force again, working for the whole of Scotland.' He pledged to travel throughout the whole of Scotland to listen to people 'from all walks of life'. He said the vision had to be one of confidence in the future of Scotland. With 'honest analysis' of where Labour is in Scotland and what its message is and how it project it, he said: 'I want to make sure we are an electable force again, working for the whole of Scotland.'
Labour Party rule changes allowed Westminster MP Tom Harris to declare his interest in the campaign which had previously been restricted to MSPs. Aiming to replace present Scottish Labour Party leader Iain Gray – who sought refuge in a sandwich shop when confronted with pensioners asking him to challenge the Tory tax cuts – Tom Harris was clear about his strategy. 'We need to appeal to people beyond the Labour Party. The battle to win votes will be won in the workplace, the high street, the tv studio, the council chamber, the board room and in the home, not just in a single debating chamber. As a Party we need to have a strong vision and a positive outlook to appeal to new voters.' A constant Twitter contributor, has already taken his campaign out and is meeting groups of young people unconnected with politics, who use the social media networks he is already familiar with.
At Holyrood, Johann Lamont has been a noteable fighter for the Labour Party cause. And locally in Pollok, she has been an active elected representative. She said: 'First, we have to re-build confidence and trust across Scotland. It can't be a case of Labour telling others what to do. It has to be Labour listening. These are tough times and there are lots of challenges. We have to pull together and we need a strong Labour voice to protect the young and the vulnerable and to hold the Government to account.'
Ken MacIntosh was born in Inverness of a Gaelic speaking father from Skye and a mother from Peebles in the Borders. Early in September he led a campaign against a waste incinerator in Newton Mearns.
He said a new, positive, vision for a strong Scotland is needed. 'Devolution is the reason I got into politics. I believe the Scottish Parliament is there to build a stronger Scotland, but our Party needs to do more to harness the potential of devolution to improve the lives of the Scottish people – this is my priority if elected leader.'
He added: 'It's time to change the Scottish Labour Party. We need to be less top-down, have a strong positive vision and we must use the new young talent we now have. This contest is not just about leading the Scottish Labour Party. I want to win the hearts and minds of Scots to win the next election and become the next First Minister.'
A special Scottish Labour Party conference will be held on 29 October when the formal campaigns will be launched. The new Leader of the Scottish Labour Party will be announced by 17 December.
UK Government u-turn on Glasgow jobs scheme
January 6, 2011 by localnews · Leave a Comment
A jobs scheme that was scheduled for the chop has been given an extension following political pressure on the Westminster Coalition government by Glasgow Central MP, Anas Sarwar.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Ian Duncan Smith, planned to scrap Glasgow's Employment Zones on 31 December last year – at least six months before the replacement Work Programme was scheduled to be up and running.
The Employment Zones scheme offers specialist support to long-term unemployed and lone parents in employment blackspots. Following pressure in Parliament, the government has extended it to June 2011.
MP Sarwar quizzed the Secretary of State in the House of Commons twice in November and tabled a question in December.
He said: 'The Minister was ready to write off Glasgow's jobless by withdrawing help six months before his new Work Programme was to be ready.
'I refuse to allow the Tories to consign another generation of Glaswegians to the scrapheap, just like they did in the 1980s under Thatcher.
'I'm pleased that Ian Duncan Smith has now seen sense and performed a U-turn, but I simply can't understand why he even considered axing support six months before his Work Programme was ready – our city deserves better.'
Chris Grayling, Minister for Employment at the Department of Work and Pensions, said in the House of Commons: 'We are determined to ensure that there is continuity of provision, and that the transition to the Work Programme does not leave any customer unsupported.
'Therefore, Employment Zone contracts will be extended until June 2011, ensuring that customers referred to these programmes in March will be supported until the summer, by which time the Work Programme will have been rolled out.'
Reed in Parnership are one of the key agencies that deliver employment and skills sevices in Glasgow.
'Over 5000 people in Glasgow have been claiming JobSeekers Allowance for over a year and the DWP decision to extend the contracts means unemployed people in the city will continue to receive the support they need to find employment.'
Human Rights in Gambia the talk of the table
December 23, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
MPs in Westminster and Holyrood are fighting for human rights in the Gambia. The tiny West African country is known for the sunshine holidays it offers UK citizens
. But it has recently activated the death penalty and is the subject of a report from Amnesty International which says abuses include arbitrary arrests, torture, incommunicado detention, unfair trials, rape, disappearance and extra-judicial executions.
In the House of Commons, Glasgow Central MP Anas Sarwar's Early Day Motion has attracted at least 24 cross-party signators. It calls on the coalition Government to place international pressure on the Gambian government to uphold fundamental human rights.
The motion applauds members of the Scottish Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia for continuing to raise awareness of the issue. Said Labour MP Sarwar, who sits on the Commons International Development Select Committee: 'I was pleased to facilitate a meeting with the Foreign Office, the all -Party Parliamentary Group on Human Rights and representatives of the Scottish Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia.
'That Campaign is doing great work to draw attention to a government that rules by intimidation, torture and killing. It is crucial that the Coalition Government does everything it can to place international pressure on the Gambian government. I have asked questions about challenges facing Gambian citizens in their country and abroad and I will continue to press the coalition government.'
In Edinburgh, the Scottish Parliament passed a motion condemning the catalogue of human rights abuses in Gambia. Proposed by Green Party MSP, Patrick Harvie and supported by more than a dozen others from all parties, it highlighted the case of missing journalist Ebrima Manneh who disappeared after allegedly attempting to publish an article criticising the Gambian Government for violations of human rights.
Expressing support of Gambians who are resident in Scotland but who might feel unable to speak out about the situation in their country for fear of the consequences, the motion urges the UK and Scottish Governments to ensure that international pressure is put on the Gambian Government in defence of human rights.

London listens to Gambia Campaigners
November 19, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
In a whirlwind day in London, representatives of the Scottish Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia made 'useful progress', according to Vice Chair Austin Sheridan.
Through Westminster MP Anas Sarwar, who has kept his pre-election promise to support the Campaign, Austin Sheridan, Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP) and committee members Alieu Ceesay and Grace Franklin met with Parliamentary coordinator for Human Rights, Nicole Piche, Paul Welch who is team leader for the West Africa desk and Agnes Annels from the Foreign Commonwealth Office Human Rights department.
The Campaign updated the officials on their events, past and future, to tell people in Scotland about the increasing number of Gambians 'disappearing' in the Gambia, or who are imprisoned and tortured because they say something which offends the President.
They include journalists, opposition party leaders and many ordinary citizens.
The Scottish Campaign is backed by the National Union of Journalists and Amnesty International which has published a report on the situation in the West Africa country which is a popular holiday destination.
A further meeting in the offices of Amnesty International enabled the Scottish Campaign to see where their work fitted into the 17 cities around the world which are also active in pressing for Human Rights to be restored in the Gambia. Until recently, Gambia had a Constitution and a Legislature which protected its citizens. But increasingly draconian laws and edicts from the President's Palace – including the activating of the death penalty this month – have brought fear to the nation. The legal system has been corrupted with mercenary judges from Nigeria hired by the President to impose his will.
Currently the President Yahya Jammeh, is encouraging hereditary Chiefs to campaign for him to be made King of Gambia.
The Scottish Campaign's next public meeting will be in Edinburgh on Thursday 16 December at the Justice and Peace Centre and hosted by that organisation.
In the Scottish Parliament, Patrick Harvie MSP has put forward a motion condemning the catalogue of human rights abuses in Gambia including the case of the missing journalist Ebrima Manneh and urges government pressure to be put on the Gambian Government in defence of human rights. By Thursday 18 November, fifteen MSPs had signed the motion.
Anas samples Mary's Meals ahead of World Food Day
October 14, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Words by Stuart Maxwell
In anticipation of World Food Day, Labour MP Anas Sarwar tucked into a portion of 'liknui phala'- the porridge meal that Scottish charity Mary's Meals delivers to over 400,000 impoverished children around the world, every day!
Anas scrapped the dish with vigour and it can't have done him any harm. Liknui Phala is made from maize flour, beans, milk powder, vitamins, minerals and a dollop of sugar and is designed by nutritionists to combat chronic undernourishment.
Wiping his chin, Anas said: 'By giving thousands of children in developing countries a great start to their day, Mary's Meals is offering them a great start in life. I'm delighted to mark the fantastic work that Mary's Meals does.' Although he cleary wanted too, the Glasgow Central politician was too polite to ask for more!
World Food Day is just around the corner on Saturday 16 October – the day in 1945, when the UN founded the Food and Agriculture Organization. The aim is to further global solidarity in the fight against hunger and poverty.
Mary's Meals is now an international charity that strives to feed and educate inpoverished children across the globe.

Launch of Scottish campaign for human rights in the Gambia.
September 22, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
A campaign to highlight human rights abuse in the sunshine West African country of the Gambia was launched last night in Glasgow.
Backed by Westminster MP Anas Sarwar and the President of the National Union of Journalists( NUJ) Pete Murray, the new group will bring the issues to a wider audience.
'I didn't know about people disappearing, being tortured and murdered in the Gambia till I heard details at a vigil two years ago,' said Austin Sheridan a 17-year-old, elected member of the Scottish Youth Parliament. He has brought the situation and an Amnesty International report 'Gambia: Fear Rules' to the attention of that Parliament's International Committee.
Anas Sarwar, MP for Central Glasgow, said when he was campaigning to be elected, he had attended the same vigil and met an exiled Gambian journalist. 'I promised him then, that if I was elected I would do all I could to highlight the human rights issues in the Gambia. I am keeping that promise,' he told the meeting in the STUC.
He went on to offer the NUJ the opportunity to hold a meeting at the House of Commons to inform even more people.
NUJ national president Pete Murray, said his union was proud to support the campaign. 'Not just because journalists are affected by the abuse of human rights but because they are being detained and tortured simply for doing their job and are being forced to flee their country and seek asylum here.' He outlined the NUJ's campaign to persuade the UK government to allow asylum seekers the right to work and the right to stay.
. 'Hundreds of people are incarcarated,' he said, 'Not just journalists.' He said the new Scottish Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia would press for an end to human rights violations in his country and for those responsible for such violations, to be brought to justice in fair trials.
Tourists love Glasgow
July 8, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Glasgow Central MP Anas Sarwar has welcomed new figures which show that the city is one of the most popular urban destinations in the UK.
A Visit Britain analysis of overnight stays by overseas visitors in UK cities between 2006 and 2009 showed that Glasgow, which was described as Scotland's style capital, was the fifth most popular destination with 687,000 visits.
For purely holiday trips, Glasgow also makes it into the top five with 312,000 visits.
Anas Sarwar said: 'I welcome these figures from Visit Britain which confirm Glasgow's popularity among tourists. Over the last 13 years Glasgow has transformed from its inward-looking, post-industrial slump, to an outward-looking, economically regenerated city which is brimming with confidence.
'Glaswegians know that our city is on the up and, judging by the number of tourists that are visiting, the rest of the world knows too.'
General Election 2010 – The battle for Glasgow Central in UK spotlight
April 7, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
The Glasgow Central seat will be one of the most closely-watched contests in Scotland, if not the UK. It is a key constituency for Labour and SNP. Held by Labour's Mohammad Sarwar since 1997, it covers a diverse mixture of communities from Toryglen on the South side to Finnieston across the river.
Mohammad has passed the torch to his son Anas, who will be in fierce competition with Osama Saeed of the Scottish National Party (SNP). Both are young, Scots-born Asians, eager to make their name in politics.
Anas Sarwar is a dentist by profession and has been a Labour Party member since the age of 16. 'Housing is the most important issue over the whole area,' he told the LOCAL NEWS GLASGOW. 'Whether it is the condition of houses or the lack of social housing.'
He's clear that the choice for voters is either Gordon Brown or David Cameron. 'The Scottish seats matter, especially if there is a hung Parliament.'
Osama Saeed was Executive of the Scottish Islamic Foundation and a former Westminster employee of SNP leader Alex Salmond. 'For decades Glasgow has been let down by Labour MPs and Labour politicians. I think people in the city are listening to the SNP. We are running Labour 50-50 and heading towards independence which will happen because of Glasgow rather than in spite of it.' He added: 'Parliament has to reflect the diversity of society. I'm standing to represent the people of Glasgow regardless of my faith or background.'
Others expected to contest Glasgow Central include: John Bradley – Conservative, Chris Young – Lib Dem, Alistair Whitelaw – Green, and James Nesbitt – SSP.

In a recent article, More Guns, More Problems, the author considers getting a concealed carry permit in her new home state, and consults some "anti-gunners" to help her decide.
This idea is just wrong, said Joshua Horwitz, the executive director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Horwitz was quick to point out that Naveed Afzal Haq, the man who shot up a Jewish community center in Seattle last month, had a concealed carry permit.
"I think the idea that these people [legal concealed carriers] don't do any damage is wrong," said Horwitz. "More guns equal less crime is just false."[1]
Again, anti-gun "experts" make broad claims with no supporting data. But something darker lurks behind Horwitz's words. Change one word in his comment and we have a neo-Nazi: "I think the idea that Jewish people don't do any damage is wrong." How quickly would the Anti-Defamation League initiate a–completely justified–campaign to demand an apology from Mr. Horwitz? But with gun owners, it's okay to smear with a broad brush.
And to Lie, Too?
Horwitz says the shooter had a concealed carry permit. Here are some published facts about Mr. Haq:
Haq's parents told [their attorney] after the shooting that their son had obtained a handgun several years ago and that they had taken it away.
Haq was supposed to be in court on Thursday [the day before the shooting] to stand trial on a lewd-conduct charge stemming from allegations that he exposed himself to young women at a Kennewick mall in March.
Haq had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years ago and was taking several powerful medications, including lithium and Depakote. Haq was often depressed, couldn't hold a job and spent a lot of time sleeping…[2]
An Internet search of Haq revealed no mention of a concealed carry permit. Washington state law requires a review of all pertinent background, including mental health records:
A signed application for a concealed pistol license shall constitute a waiver of confidentiality and written request that the department of social and health services, mental health institutions, and other health care facilities release information relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a concealed pistol license to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency.[3]
Even if Haq had a permit, it would not have been valid at the time of the shooting. The sexual crime allegation appears to be grounds under Washington State law to suspend a concealed pistol license.[4] There is more evidence that Haq had no permit:
The day before the shootings, Haq picked up .40-caliber and .45-caliber semiautomatic handguns from two different stores in the Seattle area after honoring the waiting period for purchasing weapons…[5]
Washington State law requires a five-day waiting period for all handgun purchases. During this waiting period, Haq passed federal and local law enforcement background checks to legally purchase two handguns. It also implies that Haq had no permit, as RTC licensees in Washington are not required to undergo waiting periods.[6]
Once he arrived at the Jewish center – a heavily fortified building with bulletproof windows and security cameras – Haq hid behind a plant outside one of the center's locked doors. When a young girl approached, he grabbed her and forced her to take him inside…[7]
Gun banners tell us we should trust the government to protect us from criminals. Horwitz picked an interesting poster boy for his agenda: A socially-awkward man with a history of mental illness and pending court appearance for a sex crime, premeditates a murderous rampage for at least five days and kidnaps a young girl in order to force his way into a secured building. Yes, Mr. Horwitz: your typical concealed carry permittee, right?
Or are you implying that the government is so completely incompetent that they cannot determine who should be allowed to own firearms, much less a carry permit? Then you again make a poor case for entrusting the government with our personal security.If It Saves a Life…
One anti-gun advocate remembers when a man driving on I-66 committed suicide while on the phone with his girlfriend. The man had a concealed-carry permit, and reached for his gun in a rash decision that ended his life.
That man might still be alive today if he didn't have a concealed-carry permit and gun, said Jim Sollo, executive director of Virginians Against Handgun Violence. Instead, he had the opportunity to act on an impulse that might have later faded. The same impulse is what Sollo said makes concealed-carry permits so dangerous.
"People sometimes make snap decisions," said Sollo. "The gun there can make that confrontation deadly."[8]
"He had the opportunity to act on an impulse" while driving a car. In 2003, 104 people used a motor vehicle to commit suicide.[9] By Sollo's logic, we should ban cars, because 104 people "might" have been saved. Conversely, when was the last time you read a story of somebody using a car to stop violent crime? Sollo's own criteria prove the value of concealed carry:
DURHAM [NC] – On Wednesday evening, David Baum was standing next to his car in the parking lot of David Lineberry's jewelry store, talking on his cell phone, when he saw two men approaching.
"The one in front, the bigger one," remembers David Baum, "had a gun, already out."
Baum says Rogers [alleged attacker] demanded his wallet, and when Rogers saw it did not have any cash in it, Rogers threatened him.
Baum recalls, "He said, 'Aw, cuz,' he goes, 'I'm going to have to kill you.'"
Meanwhile, David Lineberry was sitting in his office. He looked out the window and saw what was happening.
Lineberry fired three shots at the suspect, who he says had pointed his gun at him.
Baum credits Lineberry for saving his life. "There was no doubt in my mind this was it. If [David] hadn't come out, that was it."[10]
Mr. Sollo, this gun made the confrontation not deadly. Would you have disparaged Mr. Lineberry for making his "snap decision" had it been you in the parking lot?Well-Meaning Ignorance Will Not Save Your Life
It is unfortunate that after doing her research, the author decides her physical capabilities are sufficient for self-defense:
It just seems unnecessary to bring a gun into work, a mall, a restaurant or any other public place. I have fists, a mean kick and a pretty loud screaming voice if I ever need to defend myself, so that's what I'm sticking with.[11]
Seattle's tragedy indicates greater necessity for bringing a gun to work, as a concealed carry licensee on the premises could have stopped the attack. Had the author done some scholarly research, she would realize a violent attacker isn't going to:
1. Let her scream;
2. Leave her physical space and capacity to punch or kick; or
3. Let her disable him.
One study found women who used a gun or knife to resist rape dramatically decreased the probability of its completion.[12] Another study found that the most effective method for lowering rape completion rates was for the victim to resist with a weapon,[13] and found that "unarmed forceful resistance or threatening or arguing with the offender" could result in additional injury.[14] The author's decision to not carry and rely on her physical abilities is likely placing her in greater danger, should she be attacked.Conclusion
This case highlights the struggle women go through over their right to carry a firearm for self-defense. Her article would have been more aptly entitled More Guns, More Responsibility. It encapsulates the gun controllers' response to separating women not just from firearms, but from a woman's right to choose how she pursues her life and happiness, free from constraints placed upon her by those who choose not to support civil society.

960.gs - Another CSS Framework
March 24, 2008 at 1:04 AM
Add to Delicious or Add to My Yahoo!
Digital Web columnist Nathan Smith has just announced the release of his new CSS framework, 960.gs. It's similar in concept to the popular Blueprint framework, but it comes bundled with a collection of useful PDF files for sketching your design, and template files for the most common graphics and IA apps, helping you to maintain a consistent approach to your design from paper to the screen.
Looks pretty solid!
I like this way better than blueprint. At least with 960 it validates with xhtml strict.
Very cool. can't wait to try it out. thanks

Our Breakfast Bar
50 comments:
I like to drink coffee or hot water with some lemon in it! Mmmm...ReplyDelete
I'm an oatmeal girl too! It's just perfect to wake up with a warm bowl of oatmeal...
Great pictures, as always :)
Coffee!! I drink a cup in the morning and bring a mug with me to sip on in the car on my way to work. Do you like having your microwave down low? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look, but am trying to convince my hubby (who need more than just a "it looks cute" to be convinced!)ReplyDelete
I love your breakfast area!! Oh my goodness I would pretty much love to be that organized~ hehe! Ours is spread out all over the kitchen ~ReplyDelete
Coffee is in one area though because it is a must :)
I keep all my coffee needs coralled in one area, it saves so much time. I hae to have coffee in the morning. I usually have a cup at home and at work. I just recently started to eat oatmeal in the morning, and it's quickly became a staple. I love you breakfast bar, it looks greatReplyDelete
love this idea! will have to make room for one in our kitchen when we move :)ReplyDelete
Your breakfast area looks great. Love the tray from West Elm. As for morning drinks, it would be green smoothies. I am not a coffee drinker but the green smoothies fill me up and give me energy for the day. P.S. Just got the House Beautiful Mag yesterday in the mail and love it.ReplyDelete
What a great coffee station. Im a tea girl-Whittard Loose Leaf tea with Vanilla Latte creamer. I have one mug in the morning and one in the afternoon. And like you I prefer the weekends when I can actually enjoy each sip.ReplyDelete
Very pretty! We just replaced our counters & I'm making everything pretty! The coffee area is something I've been working on. I wasn't a coffee drinker until about 6 months ago. I loved hot tea & SB chai tea lattes. Now, I'm in love with SB's blonde roast!ReplyDelete
Love your breakfast bar! What a great idea!!!!! It's like you're vacationing in your own home; minus the whole "I've got to go to work" deal. :) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
i need to learn to be better about planning for my morning rituals, which cofee is a MUST! right now, i am sitting here wanting it desperately but the babe is sleeping soundly in her swing and if that coffee machine makes the noise, there goes all my "free time". thanks for the post friend--this is def inspiring me to plan better!ReplyDelete
I cannot physically start my day without a cup of coffee. I usually do fat free vanilla creamer and a scoop of sugar in my freshly brewed cup from my Keurig (seriously, I LOVE that thing!).ReplyDelete
I switch back and forth between coffee, iced coffee, hot tea, and iced green tea depending on my mood! I couldn't agree with you more that having it all corralled in a station makes life a lot simpler.ReplyDelete
Just this weekend I was thinking I needed to do the coffee-on-a-tray thing in the kitchen. I never did before, because I really like to keep everything off the counter. . . but that doesn't work when I MUST have my coffee first thing every morning! :)ReplyDelete
I have to have my coffee in the morning as well! Where did you get the containers that hold the coffee and sugar packets? (the tall ones)ReplyDelete
I love the crisp and clean look of this area in your kitchen. And, I love that you have the coffee maker on a tray. Never thought about that, but I will definitely consider it now. :)ReplyDelete
Oh, coffee every morning! And I love your breakfast area! I may just have to use it as inspiration for our new kitchen when we move. I love the jars!ReplyDelete
I love your little coffee bar! It may sound silly - but I really really look forward to my "coffee/blog time" every morning. The days I get to drink coffee and actually wake up are the best. I am also loving your granola set out and ready to go - the display looks really nice Megan!ReplyDelete
We have a coffee station too, however we have a Breville Keurig as everyone likes something different in our house! I love that it is all in one spot. Love the idea of adding the oatmeal to the station as well!!ReplyDelete
We have a little "coffee station," too - although not as cute as yours. ;) I like dark, bold roasts and coffemate creme brulee creamer (liquid) is our all-time favorite!ReplyDelete
Lovely coffee/morning station! I have the same coffee maker and it's the best one I have ever owned!ReplyDelete
I'm a water girl- I get up 2 hours before the kids to exercise and have some alone time before starting the day, so water works best. But I do enjoy a cup of tea before or after breakfast.ReplyDelete
Coffee is a morning must around here too. And I really like the idea of having a station set-up on a tray! I've been a Keurig girl for years, which I LOVE, but there's this weird tiny little splash zone around it and a tray might be just the thing to hide those coffee droplets on a busy morning.ReplyDelete
I'm a 4 cup kind of coffee girl! I basically drink until jittery! :) in fact, I'm still sipping it as I write this. Cute station you have set up.ReplyDelete
I am so in love with your kitchen.ReplyDelete
Our coffee maker can be set up to start automatically too, but we rarely remember. Lucky for me, the hubs gets up first and gets it going. :o)
- AnonymousApril 24, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I know that you like to eat healthy, I am curious how you make your morning oatmeal?ReplyDelete
I totally love your "breakfast bar". Very orginized, you have it all at hand and your glass jars are so perfect. I love it! I have everything very close for breakfast now too, not as perfect as yours as we don't go out to work anymore...but I've always liked everything organized, so when we were young, with school children, I was ready too! Hugs,ReplyDelete
I wish I had it together like you! I stay in bed to the last minute (no little ones yet) and make my coffee at work!ReplyDelete
Such a pretty kitchen - love it!
I start my morning with a protien shake and will always follow an hour or two later with a Diet Coke. I love your beautiful breakfast area. Such a great organized space. I can't say enough how much I love trays!ReplyDelete
Great idea! Makes mornings faster...ReplyDelete
My husband and I are definitely coffee drinkers too! Couldn't start the morning w/o it. :) I love vanilla caramel coffee creamer and haven't been able to find a close second. I love your breakfast bar area- so pretty and convenient. I recently gave our pantry an overhaul and started to include large canisters for holding snacks and stuff. I love that you can see how much is left! :) What a fun post!ReplyDelete
I don't leave enough time in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee at home. Both my husband and I get dressed and run out the door, so I don't enjoy a cup of coffee until I get to work. If I did make coffee at home, I'm the only one that would drink it, so I've been thinking about getting a Keurig one cup coffee maker so that I can make myself a cup instead of a whole pot. Love your breakfast station!!!ReplyDelete
I used to drink coffee every morning, but I am now on a tea kick so I drink hot green tea most mornings. I think it has boosted my metabolism and I don't seem to get sick as often. I am a total oatmeal girl too and love mine with honey and cinnamon. Love your neat and pretty breakfast bar! We have the same coffee maker!ReplyDelete
I am obsessed with my Nespresso machine! I usually let the three kids yell at each other and make a disaster out of the kitchen while I sneak off to have 2 shots with my milk. I only dream about being so organized in the morning!!ReplyDelete
Coffee, coffee and more coffee...and if I had an adorable breakfast bar like this...more coffee =)ReplyDelete
hey m-ReplyDelete
trays really make everything look more polished. i need that for my coffee area...
try soaking your oats and almonds the night before. it makes for less bloating. and add coconut oil to keep you fuller...yum...
coconut oil is my secret to maintaining my college weight. :) and it's been over a decade since i've graduated...
i have a recipe on my site here:
blueberry muffin oatmeal
hope you are well!
Love it! We do the same thing around here!!! It just makes perfect sense! I love that you contained it all on a tray, very smart!! I'm stealing that idea! :) Too late it's happened, Stolen! :)ReplyDelete
Lots of Love
I just finished adding a coffee bar to my master bedroom so that I can brew a cup while I'm upstairs with the children and they are getting ready for school! I refashioned the bottom of a built-in bookcase and added a tiny fridge and a granite remnant for a countertop. Now I have cold waters, wine and coffee all at my fingertips in my room.
Love your ideas --
Cute bar! Ever since purchasing a milk frother I can only drink coffee with steamed milk and froth! I have a mini Keurig, so by the time the coffee is done brewing, the milk is finished frothing as well. I don't do this during the week unless I'm a zombie. I generally drink coffee on the weekends.ReplyDelete

I love that your microwave is so low. I use a wheelchair and have mine on the counter, using precious space. Love this idea of putting it in a cabinet at my level. I'll be saving this idea for our new house. Love the whole breakfast bar idea. Nice.ReplyDelete
Love your coffee station! I think I noticed some very unobtrusive cabinet baby-proofing in one photo. I have fully inset cabinets and simply cannot find anything to baby-proof behind the cabinet door. My knob-locks are hideous looking tan plastic. Would you share some stylish and safe baby-proofing ideas? Or just your source for those? A million thanks!ReplyDelete
I have an unrelated question...well sort of. How do you like your undercounter microwave? I am liking the idea but really can't seem to convince the hubby. So... what is everyone's take on the undercounter microwave?ReplyDelete
Kerri- the "baby proofing" you see in that picture is just a hair rubber band! Very high-tech! :)ReplyDelete
Regarding the placement of our microwave- yes, I like it. But it's only that low because I'm so short (5'1) and if it were at cabinet height (where it was originally slated to go, it would've been too high for me). James loves to play with it, but our microwave has a lock function. I've found sunglasses, balls, etc inside when I've forgotten to lock it.
I've loved hearing about YOUR morning routines. It actually fascinates me!
Melissa- the tall glass containers are from Pier One (I think). Or maybe Hobby Lobby. I've had them forever!ReplyDelete
Anon- My oatmeal is very basic. 1/2 cup of oats, water, cinnamon, raisins and sliced almonds. I microwave it for about 1 1/2 minutes, then add some skim milk.ReplyDelete
Or I'll eat Greek yogurt with granola.
I am in love with your breakfast bar! So pretty and organized. I am a Starbucks coffee girl and oatmeal or yogurt with berries every morning. I am kind of a creature of habit. Your kitchen is beautiful Megan.ReplyDelete
Hi Megan!! I'm wondering if you have any tips on organizing bathroom stuff? Like facewash, make-up, towels, etc. Thanks! LOVE YOUR BLOG!ReplyDelete
I have just stopped by your blog, and I am loving what I am reading so far. You have inspired me. In answer to your query I LOVE MY COFFEE!! If I could have an IV of Coffee in my arm I would do it. LOL. I love getting up in the morning smelling the brew of my very own Starbucks coffee, then sitting down and checking out all the latest happenings on my blog reader. Its a wonderful way to wake up.ReplyDelete
ooo! I just love this! I usually hate having things cluttered on the counter, but you make it look so good! I love the idea of using the tray, I'm so doing this!ReplyDelete
I am a sucker for a good tray!:-) I love this breakfast/coffee bar. I may try to incorporate something like this into one of my client's kitchen. I even pinned it!ReplyDelete
Happy Mother's Day! Our boys are getting so big...
Love this post too! Thank you...I'm going to look for those canisters at Hobby Lobby! I've been trying to find some for our counter! The decals are cute also. And I love coffee in the morning too. Coffee doesn't really do anything for me as far as waking up, but I love the feel of a hot drink to start the morning while I play with my baby!ReplyDelete

The Champdoce Mystery HTML version
A Gentleman In Difficulties
When Andre had got rid of the young man, and had been ushered into M.
Gandelu's presence, the change in the gentleman's appearance struck him with
horror. His eyes were red and swollen as if he had been weeping, but as soon as
he caught sight of Andre his face brightened, and he welcomed him warmly.
"Oh, it does me good to see you, and I bless the fortunate chance that has
brought you here to-day."
"It is not a very fortunate chance," answered Andre, as he shook his head sadly.
For the first time Gandelu noticed the air of gravity which marked the young man,
and the shade of sorrow upon his brow.
"What ails you, Andre?" asked he.
"A great misfortune is hanging over me."
"What do you mean?"
"The naked truth and this misfortune may bring death and despair to me."
"I am your friend, my dear boy," said the old man, "and would gladly be of service
to you. Tell me if I can be of any use?"
"I come to you to-day to ask a favor at your hands."
"And you thought of the old man, then? I thank you for doing so. Give me your
hand; I like to feel the grasp of an honest man's hand; it warms my heart."
"It is the secret of my life that I am going to confide to you," said he, with some
M. Gandelu made no reply, but struck his clenched fist upon his breast, as
though to show that any secret confided to him would be locked up in the safe
security of his heart.
Then Andre hesitated no longer, and, with the exception of giving names, told the
whole story of his love, his ambitions, and his hopes, and gave a clear account of
how matters stood.
"How can I help you?" asked M. Gandelu.
"Allow me," said Andre, "to hand over the work with which you have intrusted me
to one of my friends. I will retain the responsibility, but will merely act as one of

According to my wife a "warning shot" is a shot fired into a BG that warns other BG's that they will be next if they come between her and her kids. (I love that woman)
So if that's what you mean then yes, if not lemme just say my gun only breaks leather for a few occasions.
1. cleaning
2. storage
3. to make bad things dead.
-Never insult a man you are not prepared to fight, and never fight a man you are not prepared to kill.
NO. Just like the gun itself, you also own the bullets, weather you shoot them or not. Especially if you shoot 'em. Your sidearm AND the ammo have only one purpose at that point.....and a warning shot isn't that purpose.
no....... that "warning shot" is going to come down somewhere and possible hurt some inicent person.
"It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep."
- Italian proverb
I wouldn't fire a warning shot. I would only draw and fire if, in my opinion, my life or the life of someone else was in jeopardy. If such was the case, then I would shoot COM until the threat stops.

I was originally going to say, "if by warning shot you mean 2 to COM, then yes", but since that's been overdone already, I'll take the opposite position. In the case you are describing, no, I would not fire a warning shot. It would just let make the BG think that I really didn't want to shoot him and probably inspire a rush.
Unlike other posters though, I can imagine when a warning shot would be necessary and appropriate. I recall the thread where there was a BG on top of a woman continually stabbing her. That is a shot that might be too chancy to take due to the GG and BG proximity. So, I guess to answer your question, do defend myself, I would probably never fire a warning shot. To defend somebody else or to draw attention to myself to get a better shot, I might. And before all the flames start, I know I wouldn't generally want to attract attention to myself from a BG comitting a felony, but I also couldn't stand there and do nothing. If a warning shot was the only way to get a pause from the BG, or to cause him to look up, then I might fire a warning. But it's impossible to know for sure without being in the middle of the situation.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
Absolutly not!!!! I would give a very strong verbal warning but if I have to draw, its to shoot.
So I'm confused on everyone's position...
--never fight with an idiot, for he'll bring you down to his level and beat you by experience.--
"Stupid is forever. You can't change stupidity." - Temple's Basketball Coach John Chaney to the home crowd
No warning shot.
The first warning is verbal, the last warning is the sound of steel sliding from leather.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
There IS one situation where I'd CONSIDER a warning shot.
It's not uncommon for us to run across a bear family while out mountain biking. In the past, the sound of a shot fired has been enough to send mama and babies packing. If mama seems to be lingering and upset that we rode up on her babies, she'll get a warning shot, although typically, despite all the stories, they all just run off as soon as we get close.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Depressive Black Metal
Posts: 650 Visited by: 587 users
Burzum (Nothing more needs to be said, really)
Drudkh: Awesome band from the Ukraine, especially in terms of atmosphere. In terms of dbm, the first album is probably better than the latter ones (I only have Autumn Aurora which is stunning).
Krohm: Havent heard but plan to get 'A World through Dead Eyes' soon. I would like to hear some opinions.
Beatrik: Again, I only plan to get Journey through the End of Life. I would like some opinions.
Veil: Relatively unknown USBM band. I have heard good things about their release 'Dolor' available from Autumn Winds Prod.
I chose not to mention Xasthur, as I hardly find them depressive, just tedious. WAY overhyped due to this whole 'suicidal blackmetal' craze.
If anyone could post info on some Swedish dbm such as Hypothermia, Kyla, Durthang etc that would be excellent.

The Verizon version of the iPhone is the first of to have the WiFi hotspot capability. Other devices on the Verizon lineup with this capability have an additional charge, so it should come as no surprise that the iPhone does as well.
The ability to use the iPhone as a WiFi hotspot will run you $20 monthly. However, this is not an unlimited plan as Verizon will be implementing a 2 GB data cap. If you go over that limit, it will cost you another $20 for each extra GB of data used. The iPhone can be used to provide internet for up to five devices at once, so if you want to use the feature proceed with caution
Any surprise about the pricing for the hotspot feature on Verizon's Apple iPhone 4? How about the price for going over your monthly data allowance? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Public School 43 Students Meet With Sculptor
In February 12, students from PS 43 met with local environmental sculptor, Ethan Long, to discuss the "Beech Tree Project," which Rockaway Waterfront Alliance will be conducting with Jo Anne Ellis' 8th grade class this spring.
During the renovation of the Rockaway boardwalk, Ethan Long has been salvaging discarded wood to use for a sculpture the students will be making before graduating this year.
Much of Long's experience as a sculptor has been working with natural wood and trees to create public art; some of which is featured in Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City and places throughout NYC.
"As owner of a set construction studio in Long Island City, Mr. Long is an artist who is fortunate enough to have established a successful business, which has given him the freedom to take on artistic projects like this, that are important to him. Hopefully, the students will recognize how vital it is to find something they really have a passion for, and create a career that is right for them," said Jeanne DuPont, Director of Rockaway Waterfront Alliance (RWA).
This week students were shown cross section views of trees and asked to make their own "tree templates," which Long will cut at his studio. He will return next month with the templates, to be individually painted and designed by each student. The pieces will all be assembled into one large sculpture, which will be on display at this year's Earth Day Rockaway on May 3.
"We were thrilled to have Ethan come share his vision and ideas for the project with the students," said teacher Jo Anne Ellis. "This is an exciting opportunity for the students to work on an environmental sculpture and understand how they can effectively support and advocate for their community through art."
As part of this project, Rockaway Waterfront Alliance will be doing cleanups in a designated area outside the school, to place the sculpture on view for the public event in May.
Many of these students have been involved for the past two years in efforts by RWA and the NYC Parks Department to revitalize public park space outside the school.
Much of this same area has been designated as the PLANYC Rockaway park project, which is presently in the planning stages.
Since many of these students will be graduating this year, they will not have the opportunity to see the final development of the park. Hopefully, this project will be something they can give back to their fellow classmates and the community at large.
Stay tuned for updates on the students' progress on the "Beach Tree" project in the coming months.
