Making Algebra Rich
Stage: 1 and 2
Article by Lynne McClure
Published June 2014.
In her article
'What's X Got to Do with It?'
Anne Watson describes how, even though algebra is only mentioned formally in the year 6 programme of study in the new National Curriculum, the roots of algebraic thinking can be traced back throughout the primary years. This feature brings together rich activities that support early algebraic thinking, and one or two that support the more formal algebra in year 6.
Balancing and the equals sign
Anne describes the importance of ensuring that = does not signify a calculating instruction ('makes') but does mean 'equivalent to'. The idea of both sides of an equation being worth the same is a fundamental concept but many children don't realise that 4 + 5 = 9 can be written:
4 + 5 = 6 + 3, 4 + 5 = 7 + 2, 4 + 5 = 11 - 2 or even 4 + 5 = 3 x 3.
This idea of
can be illustrated beautifully using a balance - you might choose to use the interactivity in
Getting the Balance
(KS1) to explore some whole class questions before tackling the challenge itself, and then invite your pupils to have a go at
Balance of Halves
Using symbols then letters
The idea of equivalence is important in missing number problems. They are initially used where we want children to recall and use a number fact, for example 6 + ? = 10, in which if you know your number bonds to 10, the answer is obvious. Later we want them to use a symbol as a place holder for an unknown quantity where the answer is
immediately obvious and we have to do some work to find a solution.
Heads and Feet
(KS1) and
Plenty of Pens
(KS2) are both types of missing number problems
which encourage children to use personal representations (using objects or perhaps drawing) and then, if appropriate, to move into using symbols. And if you'd like your pupils to become more confident in using symbols, you could offer them
Super Shapes
Shape Times Shape
, both of which are problems requiring chains of reasoning and offer excellent opportunities for children to communicate their thinking.
Generalising from a number of examples and stating a rule
Maths is shot through with patterns. The algebraic idea of finding a rule implies first noticing a pattern and then generalising it. In the early stages the generalisation will be a statement in words, later this may be refomulated into symbolic representation.
Ip Dip
(KS1) is a well known elimination game (similar to one potato, two potato) for younger pupils. Can they predict what will happen if they start the rhyme in different places and what patterns do they notice? How can they record this - perhaps in words or maybe in a picture? In
Sticky Triangles
(KS2) pupils are asked to make geometric patterns with sticks and predict how many they would need to continue the pattern. This idea of linking geometry with number is one that becomes more important as pupils' understanding progresses, as is finding elegant ways of recording which support pattern spotting.
On NRICH there are many more longer investigations which require children to conjecture, convince and prove, and using algebraic notation can often be helpful in the latter. For KS2 children you may want to revisit

Ex-Governor Goes Behind Bars
published: March 15, 2013
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — On a recent Sunday morning, a former governor of New Jersey stood before a predominantly African-American church congregation here, tapping a Bible on his thigh to the choir's rendition of "Blessed Be the Rock." In the pews before him sat a group of ex-convicts he knew well.
When the music stopped inside Bethesda Baptist Church, James McGreevey spoke from the pulpit in a full-throated sermon complete with dramatic gesticulations and the occasional "amen." His subject: struggle.
"He almost got to sound like he was a Baptist at the end," said Pastor Vincent L. Thomas, the leader of the congregation.

Nun's Divine Intervention Turns Nightclub into Thrift Store
published: January 11, 2013
Some neighbors looked at the abandoned Astoria nightclub Studio 34 and saw the remnants of a good time. Others welcomed the end of its sin, depravity and strobe lights. One went so far as to compare the cinder block walled disco to the underworld.
But when Sister Tesa Fitzgerald, a nun in her 60s, first set eyes on the 8,000-square-foot space, she saw something completely different—a thrift store.

Mixing Church and Drinks
published: March 30, 2012
At a pair of worship services in Brooklyn, reminders to tip the bartender are heard alongside entreaties to love thy neighbor and praise the Lord.
On Sunday evenings, two watering holes in the Williamsburg neighborhood regularly host Christian congregations — not for after-church drinks, but for full services with scripture, sermons and prayers. The odd arrangements have been a boon for the bars and those they serve.
"I like the people," Eric Kingrey, a bartender at Trash Bar, said of the church crowd. "They're good tippers."

Letting Go of Wall Street
published: October 31, 2011
Rasanath Das was an atypical member of the city's investment-banker class.
The 32-year-old MBA earned a $170,000 salary working long days negotiating deals at Bank of America. But on his free nights, he slept on the floor of a bare room shared with 13 other Hindu monks in a monastery in the East Village. On weekends, he taught classes on scripture and scrubbed floors and pots.
"I realized I was not dependent on external objects to make me happy. It was like letting go of crutches and being able to walk faster," Mr. Das said.

This Way to the Séance
published: October 27, 2011
On a recent Wednesday evening, 10 women and three men sat in a circle holding hands in a fluorescent-lit back room of a Midtown conference center. They settled into metal office chairs, turned off the lights and prepared to summon the spirit world.
There, in the dark, they learned about love, family and work. One was given a foreboding message from a long-deceased aunt, another was told of the Brooklyn intersection where she would meet the love of her life.
It was just another night at Séance in the City, a weekly meeting of supernaturally inclined New Yorkers. Members pay $20 to spend a couple of hours testing their psychic abilities with guessing games that typically involve playing cards hidden in an envelope. But the main attraction is a chance for a reading from the group's founder, Jesse Bravo.

Temple Mines for Members
published: September 29, 2011
When political consultant Bradley Tusk orchestrated Mayor Michael Bloomberg's victorious run for a third term, he owed much of his success to the novel use of consumer data to locate and target groups of voters.
Now he's turning those tactics toward a more spiritual aim.
Mr. Tusk, along with Gary Ginsberg, a veteran of the Clinton White House and a founding editor of the magazine George, wants to turn his conservative synagogue, Town & Village on 14th Street, into the destination temple for young, unaffiliated Jewish Manhattanites.

Jersey Shore Nuns Find Salvation in Surf, T-Shirts
published: August 19, 2011
Along a certain stretch of the Jersey Shore, the t-shirts seen advertising Nuns' Beach seem to be just another bit of satirical beachwear targeted at the tourist trade. But the beach in question is very real, as are the nuns who have flocked to the popular surfing spot for the last 75 years.
Nuns' Beach is a one-block strip of sand in Stone Harbor, N.J., a hamlet 40 miles south of Atlantic City. The beach is attached to a facility owned by the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a teaching order based in Pennsylvania. Each summer, the property fills with nuns weary from nine long months in the classroom.
When the sisters hit the sand dressed in their summer habits — a light-weight material in blue and white — they stand out amid the sea of flip flops and tank tops. The nuns even don bathing suits, with certain restrictions.
"Not a bikini," said Sister Anne Pierre.
"No, no," agreed Sister James Dolores, shaking her head. "We wear one-piece suits, with the little skirt sometimes."

A Comedic Airing of Conservative Laundry
published: July 16, 2011
As a playwright, Aizzah Fatima knows she is pushing boundaries with the title of her one-woman show, "Dirty Paki Lingerie," which will make its debut Saturday at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre as part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival. But as an actress, Ms. Fatima is delighted to portray roles that transcend the traditional fare she is typically offered as a Pakistani Muslim actress. "'Terrorist No. 2's girlfriend' is an actual title of a character I once auditioned for," she said.
Ms. Fatima is the first Muslim playwright to have her work featured in the Midtown festival, which is in its 12th year, and the title of her comedic show about Muslim women reconciling their ethnic identities with their American lives has proved too controversial for some members of the Muslim community in New York. Many, she said, have asked her to change it to something less salty. "Several people have told me they have an issue with the word 'lingerie' in the title, and not so much the 'dirty Paki,'" the 34-year-old said. "Conservative Muslim women in my social circles have suggested I change the title to 'Dirty Paki Laundry' to make it more politically correct."

In N.Y. Surf Heaven, A Blessing of the Boards
published: June 20, 2011
Montauk's Ditch Plains beach is about as close as New Yorkers can get to an "Endless Summer"-style surf heaven. On Sunday morning, many of the town's wave-riders tried a new way to attract divine curls — by having their surf boards blessed.
The blessing of objects is popular in New York City, where religious adepts can get anything from bulldogs to bikes blessed someplace. But for Saint Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church, out on the tip of the Hamptons and just blocks from the beach, the board blessing was a first.

A Priest Finds Her Own Flock
published: March 18, 2011
As a five-year-old girl growing up in Brooklyn, Gabriella Velardi Ward dreamed of being a Catholic priest.
Other girls doodled rainbows and unicorns in their notebooks; she drew chalices and vestments. Her family told her girls weren't allowed to be Catholic priests, which was true in 1953 and remains true today.
But last Sunday, Ward presided over what she describes as a Catholic mass in a tiny living room in Sunnyside, Queens. Now 63 years old, Ward belongs to a group who call themselves Roman Catholic Woman Priests. Her community of 85 worshipers has named themselves after St. Praxedis, a female leader in the early church.
She counts herself as the only female Catholic priest in New York City.

Hollywood has imported more than film and celebrity to the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France. It's also brought along its pet religion, Scientology.
Yes, a Scientology recruiting outpost has been set up just off the festival's main drag, a couple blocks from the Palais des Festivals, since the start of the film orgy last week.

Katie Couric Was Right! Muslim-Americans Do Want Their Own TV Show
published: January 26, 2011
Katie Couric came under fire for suggesting a Muslim version of 'The Cosby Show' would go a long way in fixing America's ignorance about the Islamic faith. Critics derided her as simple, but Jo interviewed many Muslim Americans who welcomed the remarks and hopes Couric's words would bring more Muslim characters into the mainstream media.

Cadillac CTS Navigation Update Failure......!
*sigh* I couldnt be more pissed off then i am right now. I finally ordered my update navigation CD for my 2009 Cadillac CTS. It downloaded to 57% and said "Update Fail". I kept trying again and nothing. I just moved to a new state and NEED my navigation!
Question: Is there anyway to get my navigation screen working again before i have the chance to bring it into the dealer? And, Is there anyway i can start the download over?...... I turned my car off..... It said if i do it'll just pick up where it left off. Then reading the navigation manual IN my car, it said not too
Thank you!

You might try the general forum. This problem is more appropriate there and will get a lot more views. This is more for engine and suspensions upgrades.

When Dr Tony Martin joined MV palaeontologist Dr Tom Rich and volunteer Greg Denney on a four-week examination of Victoria's Cretaceous coastline last year, he was hoping to find dinosaur burrows. He didn't expect that he'd find the most significant dinosaur track site in southern Australia instead.
Dr Martin of Emory University, Georgia, was at Museum Victoria recently to examine some trace fossils in the collection. Trace fossils are his speciality and he's spent many years studying the burrows, tracks and trails of prehistoric animals preserved in the fossil record. Decades of searching for tracks at palaeontological sites worldwide means that he has an eye for spotting these subtle and sometimes cryptic trace fossils.
Late in the day during the third week of the Cretaceous Walk, Dr Martin saw something unusual in a slab of rock. Because of the low light he didn't trust his eyes and starting feeling the surface. "I was in awe at first," he says. "One of the things I did was I put my fingers into the indentations and thought OK, that's a track. Then I traced back and found two more, identically sized, making this the first Victorian trackway we know of where there's an actual sequence of steps."
Dr Tony Martin with the dinosaur trackway he found on Melanesia Beach.Source: Museum Victoria
Until that moment, only four individual dinosaur tracks were known for all of Victoria. But that wasn't the only discovery of the day. Greg Denney long-time local collaborator on the Dinosaur Cove digs, spotted something else. "He saw there was another slab nearby of the same thickness, with the same layers, but upside down. He grabbed a piece of driftwood and flipped it over - and there were seven more tracks on it."
All up, the two slabs have increased the number of Victorian dinosaur tracks by 85 per cent. "They're only about 1.1 square metres but it was a busy little piece of real estate, because there are approximately 24 tracks within that." Some of the footprints are partial tracks and many are very faint but they still reveal a lot about the Victorian environment over 100 million years ago. The dinosaurs in question were small predatory dinosaurs, ranging from about the size of a rooster to the size of a cassowary. They belonged to a group of animals called the ornithomimosaurs, or bird-mimics. Dr Martin postulates that the individuals may have been different ages, and they were walking over swampy areas left on receding snowmelt floodplains in springtime.
In March 2011, Museum Victoria retrieved the two slabs for the palaeontology collection as they were at risk of being lost from erosion and burial. A scientific paper by Dr Martin, Dr Rich and three other experts that describes the amazing find was published in the journal Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology yesterday. As Dr Martin summarised it, "I've made other discoveries in my life, and I wouldn't like to rank them, but this one's way up there. It's one I feel very satisfied with that it added quite a bit to what's already a huge wealth of information that's come out of this part of the world."
In this video, Tom Rich talks more about the trackway and the effort to remove the slabs from Melanesia Beach.

2) Go register another new Facebook account , you need a new mail too, just simply register from google, outlook or ymail etc.
**Note : when you register few Facebook account, it will ask you to put phone number. I suggest you use another computer to do it, they logged your MAC address, so even you use another ip address, you will still find this problem. (Maybe ask your friends to help or use VMWare if you installed.) ***
3) This is not a must, but if you wanna keep everything from LINE, better use BlueStacks to process followings steps. Because we need to login another account (Mirror Account) to make it works. If you didn't, then you will need to clear Data from LINE (which means you'll lost chat history) , / uninstall + reinstall for iOS.
Let's Start ! (8 Steps)
1) I use BlueStacks to do it , if not, you need to clear data from LINE on your Android / Uninstall & Install it from iOS. OR use another phone….
2) Login your NEW MIRROR account, click "New Users" & use Facebook login (MUST USE Facebook login or won't work) , and finish the registration.

** I suggest you check at the FIRST TIME , i tried i didn't got point if I didn't check at the first time. After frist time checking, you don't need to check it everytime if you're NOT using BlueStacks as it's quite trouble.
Then, back to MIRROR account , goto Setting, Profile
Click : Delete my Account ( MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON MIRROR ACCOUNT NOT MAIN ACCOUNT if you're not using BlueStacks)
8) Repeat Step 2-6 , until show this message :
When this message shown, which means you need another MIRROR Account, go register another Facebook account and repeat step 1-6 again until you got enough points, normally one account can be repeat 3-4 times as I remembered.
How to Get the Stickers ?

- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Alcohol & Smoking
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Feb 03, 2007

Neat old Cigarette/Cigar Box made of early plastic/celluloid, measuring 10 1/2x5x3 in very good condition. Philip Morris insignia on the top: the two lions standing on their hind legs supporting the crown which underneath says PM & CO. Encircled underneath this are the words VENI VIDI VICI, which, I think , means in Latin , I came I saw I conquered. T is also sort of a wheat sheaf design running around the top edge. Would make a nice jewelry box , also , or something to set on an end table or dresser. No handling charges.

We're only two weeks away from another increase to student loan rates on new loans, existing, and unconsolidated loans. As of July 1, 2014, federal student loan rates will increase 0.8%. As if the repayment of student loans isn't enough to make students and parents cringe, the increase in rates could add years of payments over the lifetime of the loan. There are four key borrowing groups that will see a direct impact of this impending rate spike: students who haven't consolidated older loans; undergraduates borrowing new loans; graduate students; and parent PLUS loan borrowers.
Now, let's see how you can protect yourself and your pocket from accruing additional interest and dollars on your student loan.
Group 1: pre-2006 loan borrowers with unconsolidated loans
Students with loans dating between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006 must pay special attention to their loans. If you have loan(s) disbursed during that time frame, we suggest consolidating your loans before the July 1st deadline. Through consolidation, you'll be able to lock your loans into a rate of 2.375% for graduate, undergraduate, federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans that are in repayment status.
Group 2: undergraduates borrowing new loans
For undergraduates that will be borrowing new loans in the 2014/2015 school year, there's nothing you can do to escape the 0.8% rate increase. Instead, formulate a family plan on how best to use the refund check (the leftover amount of the loan after the tuition and attendance fees are paid). Additionally, consider paying the interest on federal unsubsidized loans while the student is still in school. For borrowers with subsidized loans, you don't need to worry about the interest while still in school because interest doesn't begin accruing until after graduation.
Group 3: graduate students
If you're making the decision to continue your education through graduate school, let us be one of the first to extend our well wishes. But, resist the urge to pay off undergraduate loans before earning your advanced degree. Federal unsubsidized school loans are the only loans available for graduate students; they're being opened at a 6.21% rate versus the nearly 4% rate for undergraduates.
Additionally, we suggest minimizing the graduate PLUS loans (rising to 7.21% July 1st) you acquire. PLUS loans can be borrowed up to the full cost of attendance, making them attractive to students, but a dangerous option. Instead, take the time to compare textbook prices, and public versus private school programs, among other things.
Group 4: parent PLUS loan borrowers
Just like graduate PLUS loans, parent PLUS loans will spike to 7.21% on July 1st. Parent PLUS loans allow parents, and guardians, to assume the financial cost of sending their child to further their education in college. Before committing to a parent PLUS loan, calculate your potential semester payments on the Federal Student Aid Website with the repayment estimator calculator.
As always, we encourage our members to weigh the financial risk(s) and option(s) of every situation. Student loan debt can be a dark cloud that follows a student around for 10 to 25 years post-graduation. Call one of our branches today to set up an appointment with an LRRCU staff member or our recommended financial planner!

Does Size Matter? For Broadway Seats, The Answer Is "Yes"
Here's a curious investigative piece: are Broadway seats too small, and, in the case of some theaters, are they even getting smaller?
Ben Platt on How He Found Himself Starring in 'Dear Evan Hansen'
"Every day is a different sort of vibe and feeling. It can be impacted by anything from like, "Is it raining outside?" to "Are there a lot of old people?"" - Ben Platt
Geoffrey Rush: "In my theatrical repertoire, I rarely played the central character"
"I suppose I'm drawn to — I'd call them all outsider figures." - Geoffrey Rush
Michaela Watkins on the Challenge of Finally Landing a Long-Term Role in 'Casual'
"I felt like I really want to chew the meat. I just really want to get to know somebody in a consistent way." - Michaela Watkins on Her Role in 'Casual'
Tony Nominee Corey Hawkins on His Nearly-Disastrous Juilliard Audition
"I remember thinking, 'I want to go to Juilliard, I want that structure and I want that rigor and that classical foundation.'" - Corey Hawkins
Josh McDermitt: "I moved to LA a little later in my life than when most people move and I feel like I'm better for it."
"You have wins, you have losses. You have to remain positive, that's probably the biggest challenge; to not get yourself down." - Josh McDermitt on Acting

Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
me to and hairy dick
how do i make it
Can someone translate to me what Angelo was saying? I can't read Italian.
Nothing can substitute the mouth of a hot woman. Also a simulator cant swallow your cum.
its a bottle with a straw, he is sucking his own dick xD
decisamente preferiscola bocca a sto strumento di cazzo.
Don´´t belive everything you see. There is a ton of pro´´s out there that can suck you dry in notime at all, stick with that and don´´t be fooled by fake stuff like this.
I want one!, tell me how to make it! PLEASE!!!
I'd never fit my cock in there...
I want to make one!
You can build a better one. The bathfoam used will dry your skin. You will need to use a lot of conditioners... You can use a bottle or a long cup. You will need a cup inside that will fit your dick. You will need a hose to the cup inside going out through the main cup. Then a hose attached to the main cup. So when you blow into the main cup, the fluid will go right in and out from the inner cup. You understand!? Seal of the big hole in the main cup with a cut off balloon, to seal your dick.
Where do I buy one?
That was the rinse cycle, so what about the spin cycle?
how dose this work!
LOL.. its for those who don't have and never will get a girlfriend that will blow you :P But i got a girlfriend and shes so amazing when she blows me :o
Why are you on a porn site if you have a girl to blow you

Philadelphia - Drexel's Whitney Johnson made 11 saves and held Saint Joseph's scoreless in the first half as the Dragons defeated the Hawks, 8-2, in a non-conference game held at Vidas Field. Junior defender Sarah Bauer caused six turnovers and picked up three groundballs as a stingy Drexel defense stymied the visitors. On the offensive end, Katie Lawson contributed four goals while Mariana Uribe added a pair of scores. The win moved Drexel to 4-0 on the season while the Hawks dropped to 1-1.
The first half saw both teams' offenses struggle with the game's first goal coming more than 13 minutes into the contest as Lawson dodged a defender then found the net. Uribe scored just over three minutes later to give Drexel a 2-0 lead. The Hawks put continual pressure on the Drexel defense as the visitors maintained possession for most of the half but rarely were able to find clean looks at the net. Saint Joseph's outshot Drexel, 12-7, for the period but the seven of the 12 shots that were on goal were stopped by Johnson, including three free-position attempts.
The second half saw Drexel's offense come to life as just 18 seconds into the frame, Becca Drylie-Perkins sent a pass from the right side of the goal to a wide-open Amanda Gregg on the left side who finished the play. Less than seven minutes later, Lawson converted a free-position shot to give Drexel a 4-0 lead and begin a barrage on the Hawks' net. Freshman Kelli Joran tacked on a goal just over two minutes later while Lawson connected on another free-position shot with 19 minutes left in the game. Less than a minute later Uribe scored on a pass from Nicole Musto on a play that looked similar to Gregg's goal to open the half. Just 27 seconds later, Lawson broke free toward the net and tallied her fourth of the game to wrap up a 4-0 run over a span of just 3:08 and give the Dragons an 8-0 advantage. After more than 44 minutes of shutout defense from Drexel, Jen Peters finally beat Johnson to put the Hawks on the board. Peters added a second goal but it would the last strike of the game. After her stellar performance, Johnson was lifted with less than 10 minutes remaining for Rachael Behrndt who made two saves while not allowing a goal.
Saint Joseph's outshot Drexel, 27-14, for the game but were 0-for-8 on free-position shots with the majority turned away by the Dragons' goalies. The Hawks earned seven draws to Drexel's five with Nicole Musto controlling four of the Dragons' five draws. Lawson's four-goal performance give her 15 goals on the season as she remained the Colonial Athletic Association leader in goals and points.

Accessories Ltd. buddies up with
Merle Norman
She's back, and she's not alone. Shoppers may remember Sharon Serschen, former Rockford retailer who sold her business and left town four years ago. On October 10, 2009, she opened doors again in her newest store—the sixth for this die-hard boutique owner—but this time she isn't going it alone. Serschen has teamed up with Wendy Barnes of Merle Norman, who herself just made a move from her most recent location on Courtland Street to 25 Squires Street. Serschen is offering jewelry, handbags and other clothing accessories from the location with her new business, Accessories Ltd.
"We've really been talking about it for years," Barnes said of the joint operation. "It happened like God planned it." She believes the Merle Norman concept of personal attention and "try before you buy" will fit in with Serschen's boutique. The two friends from Serschen's years in Rockford look forward to sharing the space along the White Pine Trail and near many other retailers.
Serschen said she is "either smart or dumb," opening another store, but said she isn't ready to retire and watch television. "I want to die on my feet," she stated. "I also really enjoy the customer contact. I've really missed that."
Serschen took four years off, leaving Rockford for Traverse City to spend time with an aunt with health problems. "Now she is back in Florida and I'm back in Rockford."
Serschen said she will not miss Traverse City and hates that it snows every day up there. She also said the town is much more seasonal, which is harder for boutique owners who have to pay rent all year around. Rockford, in her opinion, is not seasonal at all, and the location couldn't be more prime. She said she chooses her inventory based on what she likes. "I have very good taste," she remarked. Free gift-wrapping was one of the customer service perks she offered before and plans to continue that at Accessories Ltd.
Going into business for yourself is always a risk, but Serschen believes she is prepared for success. "People have the misconception that you start making money right away," she said. "It can be four or five years and you still aren't making money."
With a tough economy, she thinks the process may even be longer than that now. "It used to be that in five years you would start to see it turn over. And that was when times were good and people were really buying." She said people think every dollar that goes in your till is a dollar you get to keep. At least half of any money brought in has already been spent on inventory, plus there are costs with running the shop itself.
Still, Serschen is confident her former customers, and plenty of new ones, will eventually get her past the break-even point, and she is ready to wait it out. "I'm prepared for that. I was prepared four years ago with my other store and I'm prepared for that now."
Serschen said she believes Rockford is a great town for business because there are so many stores for shoppers to visit. She also likes that merchants work together and try not to sell identical items. She chose jewelry and accessories because she believes they are a fun purchase to make. "Jewelry is a fun pick-me-up," she said. "It's like lipstick. You get a new look with a new piece."
Barnes is excited about the new store as well. She moved on October 4 to Squires Street and thinks she will see more traffic there. She is also happy to celebrate her business' anniversary. She opened her doors in October 2005. She said her business isn't seasonal either, although people wear different colors of make-up in different seasons.
They are both happy to be settled in Rockford, although both are from different parts of the state. "I think the family-type community is one reason I chose Rockford," Barnes said. "It is also a charming, beautiful town."
Serschen said her sentiments are the same. She first visited Rockford because her son lives here, and after her stay in Traverse City she is pleased to be back.
Visit with either shop owner during open hours of Merle Norman and Accessories Ltd. during regular hours, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.

Yardage-marked target greens dot the landscape, facilitating friendly games of longest ball and closest to the target.

Inside Golf Zone's open-floor facility, golfers steer orbs down the emerald runways of the 18-hole Big Bear Mini Putt course. Surrounded by rocky outcrops and faux pine trees, each putting surface plots a winding path over subtle slopes, helping players to hone their putting stroke in a climate-controlled environment without having to roll out their own green carpet.

1999 Pierre Morlet Millesime
Retail: $59.99
$44.99per bottle
Product Description:
"Harmonious and balanced, the millesimes are different from one another and their expression as well as complexity vary depending on their level of maturity. Some are greatly appreciated at a special toast as aperitif. Others compliment perfectly meaty dishes which can be gamier as the maturity of the vintage is older. The Morlet family only selects the best years to produce their vintage Champagnes. Each of them is the result of a judicious blend made out of some of the different family's terroirs and representing the characteristics of a particular year. Therefore the proportions of both varietals as well as of the vineyard parcels can vary from one vintage to another. Each Pierre Morlet Champagne Millesime reflects the originality that nature gave us in an exceptional year. With a great ageing potential, vintage Champagnes represents the 'Nec plus Ultra' of the Morlet's terroirs, expertise and passion. They are the ultimate choice of the finest wine connoisseurs." -Winery

Why You Need A Jailbreak and Unlock Service For Your iPhone
Okay, so start with the question: does anyone really need a jailbreak service for their iPhone? Isn't the device by itself one of the top innovations of modern technology and in need of no further enhancement? While the answer to this may be yes, the question is all wrong.
To ask whether you need a jailbreak service would be like asking whether you even need an iPhone. You may not truly need either one, but in both cases, once you see what they can do, it is hard to imagine ever having a life without them. While there are a number of pretenders on the market that promise an easy jailbreak experience, most fall short. One, however, stands out from the pack for the following reasons:Enabled TetheringEverything today is too expensive. Gas has fluctuated over the last few years at all time highs, and it does not appear to be going down anytime soon. The cost of groceries has gone up. The cost of the movies has gone up. The cost of everything is at a historic high. Cutting monthly expenses is essential to one's survival, and tethering your laptop and computer together for instant high speed access can prevent you from needing a costly Internet service from your local cable or phone company. By first jailbreaking your phone in a series of easy to follow steps and then unlocking tethering functions, you can turn your phone into a direct modem for your laptop computer. Free Lifetime UpdatesApple changes the game quite often, offering a variety of software updates to keep your computer running smoothly and virus free. In order to get the same great functionality out of your jailbreak service over time, you need to be able to update without further cost.

About two hours ago my wife and I were at one of the drive thru Expresso Shops that are practically on every block here. The drive is rather narrow and my Subaru which was in the drive thru lane was blocking a Subarban trying to get around. He finally took a chance and made it thru then jumped out his truck came up to the window and said some choice "obscenities" and proceeded to invite me out of the. At this point he looked in my window and noticed what I was holding in my hand, a Kimber "Guardian Angel". He must have know what it was as he backed off, threw a few more obscenities at us and took off. My wife called 911 and reported it, informed the dispatcher that we both were CCW holders and armed and that this idiot had left when he saw the capiscum "dispenser". They asked if any physical confrontation had transpired, my wife replied no and they stated a record would be made of the incident in case something else happened. My wife had her hand on her Commander the entire time but fortunately nothing happened. There were at least three other people with this clown and I'm sure glad he didn't push his luck. Just goes to show you that anything can happen at any time and you just have to be prepared!! Personally I think he thought that I had a stun gun waiting for him and he didn't feel like being zapped!!
I'm glad both of you are okay. Well done, and stay safe!

Stay Safe
Good result, all around.
Lucky, lucky idiot guy there in the Suburban.
I forgot about the Guardian Angel LTL thing Kimber sells when I first read this and thought you were referring to your .45 as a Guardian Angel :p
Actually glad you weren't pointing a gun at this guy (but couldn't blame you if you did).
He'd of been in a world if hurt if he had showed a weapon of some kind as both of us were armed, I had my Gov't model and my wife was carrying her Gunsite Commander. Thank God it didn't go downhill and this all this due to his being inpatient!!

Thank God everything turned out okay. It's cool that you were both armed. My wife started to express some interest in carrying for the first time today.
Whatever doesn't kill you postpones the inevitable.
I would imagine that Kimber "spray" would be a lot more effective from inside a car than a plain spray aerosol would be. Less chance of getting a face full of residual chemical. Next thing you know, you can't see to drive away, hit something, etc. The Kimber looks like it would be better for that use. I have two on order.
Sounds like you did good.

Sounds like you ran across one of those many, many mental midgets out there in our world. There are so many people who just think that everything is moving too slow or everyone is trying to screw their day up for some reason. These people have some type of problem that I just have never been able to understand.
Glad it turned out well for you. Good that you and the wife were ccw and ready for trouble.

Glad it worked out ok, but the truth of the matter, if this guy was armed he could have capped you and your wife before you ever knew what was going on. I am glad this wasn't the case, it is a crazy world out there with folks that won't think twice about sending you into eternity.

text: This conference is designed to explore the pattern and potential of racial and ethnic inclusivity in the body of Christ. Together we want to advance a conversation about the ways that grace, love, compassion, justice, and inclusion are expressed in Christian community. We hope to answer questions like these: How do we imagine inhabiting the multicultural reality of the Kingdom of God? How should Christians pursue racial unity? Besides the workshops, there were several events as part of the conference: DEFAMATION, a play that illuminates our common perceptions about race, religion, and class through a courtroom encounter A community art project A concert performance by the Harlem Gospel Choir Plenary Sessions The Necessity of Oneness Dr. Tony Evans It's not only good for a brothers and sisters to dwell in unity, it's necessary for a family to dwell in unity – and this is especially true of family in Christ. In this session, you will learn why oneness is something the Church must work, wholeheartedly, to achieve. Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? Dr. John Fea, Dr. George Marsden, Dr. Mark Noll Host: Tracy McKenzie There is a recent surge among Christians to "take America back" to when the government embraced biblical values. Does such a time exist? Noted Christian historians Fea, Marsden, and Noll will answer that question and more during this thought-provoking question and answer session. By the end of this session, you will be armed with more than enough historical proof to answer anyone who asks, "Was American founded as a Christian nation?" My Story Robyn Afrik Hosts: Skot Welch and Rick Wilson Born in Korea, adopted at birth by White Americans, and raised in a Christian family; Robyn Afrik shares her paradox as an Asian American with white identity. Her story will open up issues about "whiteness," color consciousness, and true identity. Workshops The Second Conversion Chris Beard Conversion: "an about face." This is the journey of a privileged, white leader, who is awakened to realize his unintentional racism and idolatry. This workshop highlights the pervasiveness of unidentified racist thought and action in the American Church. Do you harbor unintentional racism? Come to this class and see if there are any parallels in your life. To Learn from History: What the USA Can Learn From Apartheid South Africa Dr. Johann Buis Churchill quoted an earlier sentiment reminding us that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. The lessons learned from Apartheid South Africa include Fear as a Guiding Principle; Difference as Virtue; Theological Minefields; and Reconciliation take(s) Two. How You Might Talk Like a Racist and Not Even Know It Dr. Brian Howell Although there is no doubt that race and racism remain concerns in the present, it can often be hard to understand how racism is expressed. Most of us are nice people, and know mostly nice people, and find it hard to understand expressions of racial hatred or bigotry. In this workshop, I want to present the work of linguistic anthropologists to show how racism is often disguised in familiar American expressions and language use, and racism is often misrecognized due to wide spread linguistic ideologies, such that we all have a great deal of difficulty seeing, let alone naming, instances of racism. From public "gaffes," to jokes, and the linguistic creation of "White public space," racism survives in a number of hidden and covert ways that I hope this workshop will help us to recognize and reform. Divided, We Fall Ray McMillian A searching look at the history of racism in the American Church, as well as a look into the future of the American Church, if we continue to allow the color line to divide us. These teachings will open your eyes to a sin that has remained, unchallenged, in the Church. You will learn how to properly identify the wedge of racism; and you will learn what you can do to help remove the wedge of racism. Pastors and leaders, especially, should attend this session and workshop. Off to Work I Go! Dr. Tony Evans After learning about the importance of oneness, one needs to learn how to walk in oneness. Dr. Evans will provide a model of urban and suburban Christian communities walking and working together. If you agree with unity, but struggle with putting the pedal to the metal, this workshop is for you. Being a White in a World Full of Color: Striving to Live Out Biblical Principles Dr. Wayne Gordon How can white Christians display the Kingdom of God as part of the dominant minority? What does the Bible tell us about this? With over thirty-years of experience, being a white Christian in a predominately black urban community, Dr. Gordon will teach you how to put into practice what Jesus preached. This workshop will benefit anyone who wants to reach beyond what's familiar for unity's sake. Religion and Race in American Politics: A History Demanding Theological Evaluation Dr. John Fea, Dr. George Marsden, Dr. Mark Noll This talk examines key elements in American history relating to race and the Christian faith. You will learn the importance of theologically analyzing the foundations of America; and, how to identify the nation's original sin. We all should know our history; don't miss out on this informative plenary session. How Can We Have Unity Without Repentance Dr. Christine Folch To build Christian unity requires repentance and talking about repentance means talking about sin. And it's hard to talk about sin (of any kind! No one wants to even consider that they've done wrong; but we have to address our "failings" or "shortcomings" or "just being human". This workshop will address historical issues and historical contexts when it comes to racial disunity. It is designed to facilitate good questions that draw each participant to self-examination. Why Justice Doesn't Roll Down Dr. Troy Jackson Justice is so important to God, that it's the very foundation of his throne (Psalm 89:14). The Church has to walk in justice, in order to retain God's favor. Dr. Jackson will explain what keeps the Church from pursuing justice; and challenge white Christians to move beyond comfort zones into justice and mercy. The Kingdom of God and Global Ethnicity: Moving Beyond Current Superficialities in Church and Society Dr. Hank Allen This workshop examines ongoing challenges, selected current trends, and transformative possibilities in ethnic relations in the U.S. and beyond. Using a sociological viewpoint and over 40 years of tangible observations or experiences across various institutional domains, the aim is conceptual and theoretical clarity as well as encouraging practical vitality and longevity in combating tainted interactions, bogus stereotypes, and institutionalized discrimination. Participants are encouraged to bring their most complicated questions and complex problems for elaboration, dissection, discussion, and resolution. Biblical imperatives are assumed throughout the workshop. He Will Inhabit the Praise of His People: Worship in Unity Hasana & Rodney Sisco The worship experience is one of falling before the almighty - the creator of the universe, the one who loves our souls and giving praise to Him. All the diversity in all of creation is His gift - why then do we try to worship in only one way? This workshop explores how our worship encourages or discourages Unity in the body of Christ. Music, Prayer, Images, and our style of worship all influence how we see the complex and diverse kingdom of God and how we understand our Lord. Why Can't We Talk? Skot Welch and Rick Wilson Cross-racial conversations in the United States are not easy. Because people are scared to say something wrong, they don't say anything. The purpose of this workshop will be to dive into this dialog and facilitate a safe place where you can make mistakes within your humanity.Our challenge during this workshop will be to figure out why these conversations crash. We'll discuss how the following statements form barriers to authentic, sustainable, cross-racial connections. Q&A with Robyn Afrik Robyn Afrik Engage in a time of question and answer after Robyn's plenary session. For any additional information about the Inhabit conference, please contact Student Activities at (630)752-5181 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dr. Henry Averns didn't want to make his patients wait any longer. So he quit his job.
Friday is the Kingston, Ont., rheumatologist's last day as an associate professor in the school of medicine at Queen's University.
On Monday, he will open the doors to a new clinic where he can devote himself full-time to a deluge of mostly baby boomers afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis, some of whom have been trying to score an appointment with the specialist for three years.
"I felt embarrassed and dissatisfied by the length of my waiting time and the difficulty in seeing both new and review patients," Dr. Averns said. "It just makes you feel bad if you say to a patient, 'I'll see you again in two months,' but you don't see them for six months."
Dr. Averns's dilemma is not uncommon in Ontario, where demand for rheumatologists wildly outstrips supply. A new study from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences found the number of rheumatoid arthritis patients in the province more than doubled from roughly 43,000 in 1996 to more than 97,000 in 2010, while the number of rheumatologists did not increase at all.
That mismatch extends across the country, according to the Canadian Rheumatology Association. The shortage is especially severe in rural areas – Prince Edward Island has no rheumatologists, Manitoba has none outside Winnipeg – and leaders in the field are warning that the problem will get worse as the population ages.
"What we're faced with is an onslaught of patients with this disease with very few physicians that have the training and the ability to treat them properly," said Dr. Claire Bombardier, director of the division of rheumatology at the University of Toronto and senior author of the new paper, published Friday in the Canadian Journal of Public Health.
Long waits to see a rheumatologist are especially troubling because rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes a crippling inflammation of the joints, can now be successfully treated if caught early, ideally within a few months of the onset of symptoms such as sore, swollen knuckles.
That is a sea change from 20 years ago when doctors had little to offer rheumatoid arthritis sufferers beyond painkillers.
Today, rheumatologists treat their patients with disease-modifying drugs – including methotrexate and an array of biologic medicines – which can actually put the disorder in remission.
When Dr. Bombardier was in training more than 30 years ago, rheumatoid arthritis was "a disease of people that were in hospital in wheelchairs with crooked hands," she said. "Now, most of our patients are walking in the street and working, with the appropriate drugs. That's why getting early treatment, early diagnosis, is so important."
Dr. Averns, the Kingston rheumatologist, has seen first-hand what happens when the disease is not caught in time. He spends about 15 days a year in Northern Ontario, flying into Moose Factory and other remote communities on James Bay to tend to aboriginal people afflicted with the puffy, twisted hands and feet of untreated rheumatoid arthritis.
"It's horrific," he said. "It's not uncommon to see patients with widespread joint destruction who haven't had access to conventional treatment for years. It's almost the norm."
Aboriginal people are believed to have a genetic predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis, which helps to explain why the new study found the disease is more prevalent in rural Northern Ontario than in southern cities.
Yet specialists are not moving to where the need is greatest: There are more then five rheumatologists for every 100,000 people in Toronto, but fewer than one for every 100,000 in the province's northeast, the study found.
Canada had 371 rheumatologists in 2013, a little more than one for every 100,000 Canadians, according to the Canadian Medical Association. Nearly half are over the age of 55.
Rheumatologists tend not to be as highly paid as some other specialists, and the field has had trouble recruiting in the past.
Although that is changing, Canada cannot possibly train enough rheumatologists to meet the looming need. The grey wave is too much of a tsunami.
The only option is a new model of treatment, one that relies on telemedicine and deeper collaboration with occupational therapists, pharmacists, nurses and family doctors, said Dr. Jane Purvis, a Peterborough, Ont., rheumatologist and president of the Ontario Rheumatology Association.
"We recognize that we have to change the model of care," she said. "That's a huge thing that's happening across the country."Report Typo/Error

The Washington Redskins are scheduled to travel to the Bay Area on Friday following their practice at Redskins Park.
They're scheduled to stay in San Francisco for Sunday's game at Oakland.
The Redskins, like other NFL teams, generally travel Saturday for a Sunday road game. But Coach Mike Shanahan wanted his team to travel a day early to give his players a chance to adjust to the three-hour time change.
"Any time you have a three-hour time change, I think it's always good to go out on a Friday either way," Shanahan said Thursday. "That's been my philosophy. Now, when I was [coaching] in Denver, for a two-hour time change [to travel to an East Coast game], I didn't feel the need to go a day early."
Have a Redskins question? E-mail Mike Jones at email@example.com with the subject line "Mailbag question" for him to answer it in The Mailbag on Tuesday.

Students with special learning needs
have disabilities, difficulties or additional needs which make it
harder for them to learn than their peers. It is commonly accepted
that about 20 out of every 100 students have additional needs of
some sort. These needs vary significantly.
Having systems in place to identify and
support these students in a timely and equitable manner is critical
to maximising their educational and life outcomes. This can be
complex and challenging, requiring well defined strategies, strong
leadership and effective governance.
The Department of Education and Early
Childhood Development (DEECD) has developed policies and guidance
to help schools to support students with special learning needs and
has provided over $2.6 billion since 2006 to support students with
the highest levels of need through the Program for Students with
Disabilities (PSD).
However, DEECD does not monitor how
schools use PSD funds nor does it adequately oversee the
educational outcomes of these students. In addition DEECD does not
know how many students in Victoria have unfunded special learning
Schools are not implementing DEECD's
policies consistently or effectively, and students with similar
needs are often receiving very different levels and types of
support across different schools. The quality of individual plans
outlining educational goals and strategies for students with
special learning needs is poor and teachers receive only limited
training to support students with special learning needs.
However, DEECD's new Abilities Based
Learning and Education Support program should bring more uniformity
to teaching programs and DEECD has taken steps to provide more
policy guidance and professional development opportunities for
school staff.

I had one complication with my stomach healing and Dr. K use a procedure call vacume therapy, which worked very well for me. If I ever had a question or problem I could call his office and they would answer my question, or get me in right away to see Dr. K. I would like to thank Dr. K and his staff they are wonderful.

Once she realized the boundaries I set for her, she began to relax, and her true, silly, playful personality came through. Have to admit, though, it's much easier with just two, I have done multiples before, with a mixed pack, GSDs and GSD/wolf. Easy to get bit in the middle of a ruckus if you let it escalate that far, but you still have to set the boundaries. I never rehomed a canine because of pack issues, we managed it. How could you rehome and still be fair to BOTH of them?
I have a pack of six, one is a JRT, five are German Shepherds, and four of them are intact females. I allow them to correct each other fairly, but put a stop when it goes over the top. Even with four intact bitches, I have never had a "bitch fight" because I monitor all interaction and know where each dog stands. My alpha bitch, Kyniska age 3, and my newest bitch, Indah age 1 1/2, have never fought even though there has been tension. Indah likes to jump my 7month old because she is smaller and, as such weaker, and I put a stop to it when Kyniska doesn't. If Kyniska gets involved, Indah is fairly put in her place. Indah doesn't back talk Kyniska, and if she did, she would be corrected because she isn't alpha.
The only time, recently, when Kyniska went over board, was after Indah did the "shake off" and was back into a thinking state (instead of reactive state) and Kyniska should have backed off, but didn't. I verbally corrected Kyniska, and told her to leave it. Kyniska is pregnant and hormones are playing a role, so she was feeling more need to make her point. Indah got the point without Kyniska needing to over do it, so I stopped Kyniska.
When three of the last litter were visiting, two sisters, one brother, the sisters got into it. Owner of one was very upset and didn't know why they were "fighting." I explained that female A was upset and stressed because brother wouldn't stop humping her and she finally had to tell him off. When puppy B approached and did a normal behavior, female A overreacted causing a disagreement because puppy B didn't appreciate the overreaction. Being sisters there is already sibling issues, so they're more likely to get into it anyway.
My point, having a pack, or even just two dogs, means you need to know what's going on around you with them. NOT just with their pack order. One dog being stressed physically, or mentally, can cause issues. Factor in unstable or dogs with issues, and you REALLY need to know.
It also helps to have knowledge and understanding in their communication as well. What the difference a tail wag means when its stiff vrs flowing. The height its at when its wagging (and even the dog and how their tail normally sits via height). Licks of the tongue, where their eyes are focused, ear set, even add in where their heads are turned all can explain why a dog fight started. It's this knowledge that can prevent a fight, before it starts, or to figure out who to correct if it has started before you can prevent it.

Whereas all dogs will eliminate the weaker from the pack.

He usually gets rough with one of the other boys and one of the girls steps in and stops him. Just yesterday he was picking on the one dog and it was getting loud, the other dog decided that he wasn't going go take it, which always throws Midnite off. I turned around to tell them to stop and my oldest female had already stepped in the middle and pulled the smaller dog away. It's something to see. I told her good girl give me high five , she did and went to sleep, her job was done.

LOL I'm not sure about that!
I like to think that humans protect and nuture the weak, sure there are some people that enjoy picking on others but in my experience there are more people that don't.

text: A major premise of this GRC series, now titled DNA Damage, Mutation, and Cancer, has been that much of the cancer associated with environmentally-induced and endogenous DNA damage is linked to damage-dependent mutagenesis. Cells use a network of interconnected pathways to suppress such mutagenesis and thus avoid carcinogenesis. They repair damaged DNA and bypass DNA-replication-blocking lesions by processes that balance efficiency and fidelity. Damage-triggered signaling pathways delay cycling of genetically-compromised cells and may eventually eliminate them. The 2008 conference will place a major emphasis on consequences for human health. A pair of keynote talks that describe "genetic landscapes" of cancer will set the stage for subsequent sessions concerned with specific genetic alternations in cancer cells and with the genetic epidemiology of sporadic cancer. Two additional sessions concerned with health endpoints will focus on cellular responses to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage that may induce secondary cancers, and consider consequences of processing of damaged DNA for tissue growth and development and for aging. Some of these talks will emphasize the value of new model systems - Arabidopsis and zebrafish - to the DNA repair and mutagenesis community. Two sessions will be concerned with molecular starting points of damage-processing pathways: the structural biology and theory of DNA-damage recognition and effects of sequence context and consequences of novel structures in lesion-free DNA. One session aims at biochemical understanding of the balance between error-prone vs. high-fidelity responses to blocked replication forks. One will consider multi-step processing pathways initiated by specific DNA lesions.

BAGHDAD – Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned Thursday of a return to "sectarian civil war" as 179 people were killed over three days and gunmen were given 48 hours to vacate a town they seized.
In remarks broadcast on state television, al-Maliki called for people "to take the initiative, and not be silent about those who want to take the country back to sectarian civil war."
The violence erupted Tuesday when security forces moved in against antigovernment protesters near the Sunni Muslim town of Hawijah in northern Iraq, sparking clashes that left 53 people dead. A wave of subsequent unrest — much of it apparently revenge attacks for the Hawijah clashes — killed dozens more people and brought the toll by Thursday to 179 dead and 286 wounded.
The protest-related violence is the deadliest so far linked to demonstrations that broke out in Sunni areas of the Shiite-majority country more than four months ago.
The protesters have called for the resignation of al-Maliki, a Shiite, and railed against authorities for allegedly targeting their community, including with what they say are wrongful detentions and antiterrorism charges.
On Thursday, attacks in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, killed two Sahwa anti-al-Qaida militiamen and two federal policemen, and wounded two more, police and a doctor said.
Gunmen also attacked police positions near Fallujah on Thursday night, but it was not clear if there were casualties, a police captain said.
A roadside bomb in Jurf al-Sakhr, south of Baghdad, killed two patrolling soldiers, according to police and a medic, while a car bomb in the Shiite holy city of Najaf wounded one person, Interior Ministry spokesman Saad Maan said.
Security forces also killed four gunmen in Qara Tebbeh, a town in Diyala Province, while three were killed and two wounded, then arrested, in Kafak near the northern city of Mosul, army Staff Gen. Ali Ghaidan Majeed said.
Three more gunmen were killed and three wounded when they attacked an army checkpoint at the entrance of Hawijah.
The toll from heavy fighting Wednesday in Mosul also rose, with officers and a doctor saying a further 31 gunmen and four police were killed, bringing the total to 40.
Majeed said gunmen holding the town of Sulaiman Bek in Salaheddin Province have 48 hours to disperse or face attack. The gunmen swarmed into the predominantly Turkmen Sunni town Wednesday after deadly clashes with the security forces, who pulled back in the face of the offensive as residents fled.
The military said the operation in Hawijah that sparked the clashes was aimed at the Naqshbandiya Army, a Sunni militant group that it said had infiltrated the ranks of the antigovernment protesters.
Two leaders of the Hawijah protest said Thursday they will form a wing of the Naqshbandiya Army in response to Tuesday's killings.
"We in the uprising of the Free People of Iraq announced our full loyalty to the (Naqshbandiya Army) so we can be an armed wing related to it, working on cleaning Iraq from Safavid militias," protest spokesman Hamed al-Juburi said. "Safavid" is a pejorative word for Shiites.
