Hong Kong, 6 November 2007 - Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has today announced that it will manage a luxurious resort and branded Residences at Mandarin Oriental currently under development in the exclusive enclave of Marbella . The Group has now announced two hotels in Spain, and has a total portfolio of nine properties open or under development in Europe and North Africa.
Mandarin Oriental, Marbella will be located within a tranquil and protected environmental area of outstanding natural beauty, with stunning views of the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gibraltar and the Moroccan coastline. This peaceful and spacious 153-room property is a short drive from the centre of the historic city of Marbella and the equally stylish resort of Puerto Banus. The development will include 19 spacious villas and 61 luxury residential apartments which will be branded and managed as Residences at Mandarin Oriental, providing a unique opportunity for ownership along the spectacular Andalusian coast.
At a minimum of 60 square metres, the hotel's guestrooms and suites are amongst the most spacious in the region and feature attractive outside terraces. Within the grounds will be an impressive Presidential Suite, a number of generously proportioned Villas and Duplex Villa Suites, all with private gardens, terraces and plunge pools. All accommodation is being designed in an elegant and contemporary style reflective of the area's Moorish ancestry and with Mandarin Oriental's exacting attention to detail. Guestrooms will also incorporate the Group's superior technology and entertainment systems.
The hotel will have seven restaurants and bars with expansive views of the surrounding region. Dining options will include a stylish signature restaurant, all day dining venue, a chic MO Bar, a lobby lounge, a contemplative library lounge, an al fresco poolside grill and a signature Mandarin Oriental Cake Shop.
In keeping with the Group's award-winning spa concepts, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Marbella will focus on the well-being of its guests, offering holistic rejuvenation and relaxation in a serene, meditative setting. With the most comprehensive range of wellness, beauty and massage treatments available in the Andalusia region, the Spa will offer life-enhancing signature programmes created exclusively by Mandarin Oriental as well as specifically developed treatments inspired by local traditions and customs. The expansive 2700 sq.m Spa will feature 11 private treatment rooms, relaxation areas, significant water and heat therapies as well as a comprehensive fitness centre and a swimming pool. Other leisure facilities include a private beach club for the exclusive use of Mandarin Oriental guests, and full golfing facilities at one of the neighbouring world-class golf courses.
A self contained and state-of-the-art 'meeting complex' will include a grand ballroom that can accommodate 250 people and a selection of smaller function rooms ideally designed for meetings, incentives, executive retreats and private dining. In addition, there will be two well equipped boardrooms.
The owner and developer of the project is Las Colinas de Marbella S.A. Gabriel Allende, the renowned Spanish architect, is responsible for the overall development. The interior design of the hotel is by LTW Design Works from Singapore, while The Residences are being designed by the US-based Rockwell Group.
Edouard Ettedgui, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental said, "We are delighted to further extend Mandarin Oriental's renowned levels of hospitality into a second Spanish destination for the Group. Marbella is recognised as one of the Mediterranean's foremost leisure destinations and we are confident that this exceptional property will add significantly to the vibrancy of the surrounding area."
"It is exciting to be working with Mandarin Oriental on creating one of Europe's most exclusive resort and residential hideaways. For many decades, the area has been a magnet for sophisticated travellers and the extraordinary facilities that this development will offer will appeal to those in search of tranquillity, serenity and luxury." said Mr Habib Bou-Habib, chairman of Las Colinas de Marbella S.A.
The hotel is located in the tranquillity of Benahavis, 50 kilometres from Malaga on the Spanish Sunshine Coast of the Costa del Sol. Mandarin Oriental, Marbella will be easily accessible from both Malaga and Gibraltar's international airports, both 45 minutes away, as well as the historic and cultural cities of Seville, Granada and Ronda. With a combination of beautiful beaches, mountains, shopping, dining and cultural attractions, such as the recently inaugurated Picasso Museum in Malaga, the Andalusian coast is one of Europe's most popular leisure destinations. A gentle climate that keeps temperatures cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter, plus a wide range of premier golf facilities, are attractions for which the region is particularly renowned.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is the award-winning owner and operator of some of the world's most luxurious hotels, resorts and residences. Having grown from its Asian roots into a global brand, the Group now operates 29 hotels and eight residences in 19 countries and territories, with each property reflecting the Group's oriental heritage and unique sense of place. Mandarin Oriental has a strong pipeline of hotels and residences under development, and is a member of the Jardine Matheson Group.

September brought no relief to drought striken areas of England
Monday 17 October 2011
September saw a continuation of the marked spatial variation in rainfall across the UK which has been featured throughout 2011. The lowest monthly rainfall totals coincided with those areas for which long-term rainfall deficiencies were already substantial. There was, therefore, little amelioration of drought conditions in affected areas of England.
The above analysis is contained within the latest monthly hydrological summary (for September 2011) produced by the National Hydrological Monitoring Programme, operated by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in conjunction with the British Geological Survey.
The summary reports that September river flows and groundwater levels were below average across much of the English lowlands. Substantial long-term runoff deficiencies continue to develop in many index rivers, particularly in the Midlands and south west. The drought continues to exert stress on the aquatic environment: dry wells, springs and ponds were reported from parts of the Midlands and East Anglia, whilst the dry soils posed problems to farmers lifting crops.
Rainfall levels in June to September where average or slightly above for much of England. However, northern counties received higher than average rainfall whilst the Midlands received well below average rainfall. The rainfall data for the previous twelve months reveals that much of England has received below average receipts with the Midlands and Eastern counties receiving exceptionally low rainfall. Soil moisture deficits for September for much of eastern and central England were greater than 120 mm.
The spatial contrast in long-term rainfall receipt is also reflected in reservoir stocks – stocks are healthy in Scotland and Wales, whilst early October stocks were substantially below average in parts of southern England and the Midlands.
Jamie Hannaford, from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, said, "With the dry episode of the last week persisting into October, and notably dry soils for the time of year across much of England, the seasonal recovery in river flows and groundwater levels is likely to be delayed into the winter unless significantly above average rainfall occurs in the late autumn."
The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology jointly operates the National Hydrological Monitoring Programme (NHMP) in conjunction with the British Geological Survey. NHMP scientists produce the UK Monthly Hydrological Summary which assesses rainfall, river flows, groundwater and reservoir levels. They also operate the National River Flow archive. The NHMP has a remit to analyse major flood and drought events in the UK and analyse long term trends in UK hydrological data. The Programme was set up in 1988 and relies on the active co-operation of measuring authorities throughout the UK.

My day-job coworkers and I opened gifts from our "Secret Santas" at an office Christmas party this week, and my friend Eric received a box of the complete Lord of the Rings Pez dispensers. There they are, several hobbits, men, a wizard, and Gollum... plastic heads on plastic sticks, looking grim and yet promising a sugar high.I suspect it's only a matter of time until we see the Les Misérables Pez dispenser set.

I could be wrong, but I think the menu at Della is more limited on the weekend. I'd definitely give it a try if you're not in a hurry to get anywhere. You may even be able to order it to go and just sit in that little courtyard near it if it's a nice day out and the wait is long.
Jackson's looks good! That Cubano Stuffed Flatbread is calling me, but *ouch* at $16!! Do report back on what you had and how you liked the place.

Okay so I'm 17 years old and last summer, I was burned from hot oil on both of my arms. I had 2nd and some 3rd degree burns on a good portion of both of my arms. It's been a year now and I have some scaring and a lot of hyperpigmentation.
It seems like whenever I go under the sun even with the use of sun screen the marks get darker. What are some ways of reducing hyperpigmentation or removing it? Also for scars, what are the best things I can do?

Originally from uk.
Expat in usa.
When I was in Egypt, somebody brought me 2 one week old kittens they had found in their trash bins.
They were almost dead....one actually died the next day.
I took him to the vet (Dr Sameh in Hurghada) and he told me to feed him baby formula milk....they don't have a subsititute puppy or kitten milk in Egypt...
I was told cow's milk was far too rich... even skimmed.
The vet wormed him, he slept in a huge box with a cuddly toy and hot water bottle, he was fed every 2 hours...I got up in the night to feed and toilet him....carried him round in the daytime in a 'baby sling' I made....
Now he's the biggest toughest 7 year old cat there is!! My best friends in Egypt moved into my flat when I moved out....Jack the cat is still living there with them....he's the most pampered cat in Egypt!!
I guess my point , Janice, is..... We have to pick up the neglect and abandonment Egyptian animals go through... but at least we can make life better for a few!!
Good luck with Bear.....he sounds like a fighter!!

For the person that mentioned plant shutdown, I just finished a Performance Center Delivery with my mom for her X3 (I got one in July), and the plant has shut down for the holidays, however they told us that they weren't putting anything new into production, but they were finishing anything already on the line. Hopefully it will be quick, and could be why the completion dates for some have been moved up.
To the person getting carbon black - excellent choice! I personally couldn't be happier with it and you will feel the same.
On another not, the Performance Center Delivery was amazing! If anyone has the chance to ever go, I'd suggest it. Riding along for a Hot Lap was incredible, and everything else that I got do myself certainly made me put myself out there in a way that I never thought I would behind the wheel. But definitely worth it to experience it and see the way things work, as well as teach me a few new things.

College students and instructors are rushing to adopt the first free
textbooks from upstart publisher OpenStax College. The Rice
University-based publisher said it expects to save students at least $1
million this fall after 13,000 of its physics and sociology textbooks
were ordered or downloaded in their first 10 weeks on the market.
"Our first two titles will save students more money in one semester than they cost to develop," said Rice engineering professor Richard Baraniuk,
OpenStax College's founder and director. "We're well on our way to our
five-year goal of saving 1 million college students $95 million."
OpenStax College launched in February with a philanthropic model to offer free textbooks
for the most heavily attended college courses in the nation. Baraniuk
said more than 50,000 online users have viewed the first two titles — College Physics and Introduction to Sociology
— since they were published in June. The books also have been
downloaded nearly 7,000 times, and instructors at 55 colleges have
adopted the books for fall classes.

Originally organised as a street parade celebration of sorts in view of the ban on firecrackers in Singapore, the Chingay parade has evolved over the years to become that single parade that is (almost) equivalent in pomp and celebratory value to the Mardi Gras. It has definitely evolved itself over the years, with more international participants, while still retaining its core Chinese New Year-centric roots. Though it has evolved, it is still spectacular in every way, and is one parade in the Singapore calendar of festivals that some photographers would add in into their calendars!
In recent times, the Chingay procession has been brought into the residential neighbourhoods, with the idea of getting as many of the locals into the celebratory act as the organisers can, albeit without the international participants. Though the magniture and pomp of this neighbourhood-versions of the parade is of a lesser scale, nonetheless it still manages to bring out the residents from their otherwise homely existence, especially on a hot weekend evening.
It was around my neighbourhood this year, over the last weekend, and here are some snapshots that I have managed to capture, but NOT of the procession nor the parade, but of the people who did took the effort to come out from their cosy homes to partake in the celebrations.

At that point, I'd consider my life being threaten and deal with it.
This is a discussion on Approached on a dark street within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; A lady friend invites you to accompany her to a well attended business related party at a private venue in the downtown of a notoriously ...
A lady friend invites you to accompany her to a well attended business related party at a private venue in the downtown of a notoriously dangerous city. You end up having to park a block off the main road because others have taken all the curbside spots along the main road for several blocks and many of the nearby spots on adjacent streets.
At the party many are drinking heavily but, conscious of the fact that you are carrying, you limit yourself to only two drinks over a period of about five hours. You end up being in the last wave of people leaving and find that the main street has become quite desolate, at least compared to the bustle of activity when you arrived.
You maintain a fairly high degree of situational awareness as you turn off the main street and begin the one block walk down the unlit side street to your car -- which is now almost alone on the street. Still, you are slightly startled by an unkempt looking young man who steps toward you from the concealment of a shadow as he asks you for the time. You respond, in your friendliest tone, that you aren't sure of the time because you aren't wearing a watch (knowing that your watch is well concealed under your winter coat and leather glove).
His stance impedes your progress and you stop in place to maintain a few feet of gap.
He then says, with a little bit of a cocky smirk, Oh no? Well do you got any money? To which you again reply in the negative, despite having a wallet in your back pocket with at least $100. Your new acquaintance then moves his coat aside to reveal what appears to be a full frame handgun tucked into his pants and says, with a more serious firmness, Are you sure? 'Cuz I really want some money!
You are carrying a small .380, with which you are fairly competent, in your front pocket. A quick scan of the area reveals no other perps nor any potential witnesses. Your sense is that this guy might be happy with a wallet and purse, but his slightly too slick approach, and the fact that his eyes are locked on your lady friend, leave you unsure of his ultimate intentions.
What do you do?
At that point, I'd consider my life being threaten and deal with it.

I keep my wallet near my gun. I practice drawing in a motion that looks like I'm pulling out my wallet. If his weapon isn't in my face and I think I can pull it, I might not grab the wallet.
Once he shows a gun he has in effect threatened you with bodily harm. When the opportunity presents itself I draw and fire.
Either what morintp would do or both hand in pockets, pull out keys or wallet out of one pocket and toss it at his feet and draw with the other hand half a second later. Boom.
I would rather give someone the money in my wallet than shoot them. I'm not going to shoot someone over $20. But threatening my life for $20, that is a different story.

Gun control can be blamed in part for allowing 9/11 to happen.
"Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum" (Latin)- "If you want peace, prepare for war".
I tell the guy "Look I don't carry cash in my wallet. Let me get my wallet and prove it." All the while I have moved the lass behind me and have open hands palms out to the dirtball. I show him the wallet that has no cash. I tell dirtball that all of my cash is in my pocket and I will gladly retrieve it for him. The cash just so happens to be my AMT .380. After those six rounds are spent I move to the .45 on the opposite hip and complete the transaction.

Call me a coward, but I am no cowboy. Even if I practiced with a gun, something is going to go wrong. And besides, if you do shoot him, your life is going to be miserable for a long time.
I would try and get out of the situation if I could. How about saying something like "Look buddy. I don't want any trouble. You can have my wallet. I am going to toss it over there and then the lady and I are going to leave." Toss him your decoy wallet filled with those fake credit cards you get in the mail every day. Toss it so that he has to move away from the direction you are going to run. As you back up (facing him with your hand on your gun in your pocket), he will probably just pick up the wallet and run, too. Get to your car as fast as you can and make a quick get away. As I am running, I would secretly draw my gun so he didn't know I had it ready to go. He will be long gone by the time he realizes he has been had and you will be, too.
Obviously, the situation changes if he draws his gun, but practicing this scenario makes a lot more sense. I was watching a Personal Defense TV episode and one of the guest hosts said, "Any day you don't have to shoot someone is a good day."

Agree, tell him he can have my wallet which in in my back right pocket out comes the 380 and its in his face before he can react..after all his eyes are on the lady friend and at a distance of a few feet im pretty sure you could shoot him in the face area fairly easy..just make sure you pull the trigger twice.
Current collection: Too many according to the wife...
Keep your wallet weak side. Reach around and toss it straight at the perp toward your weak side. When his arms come up to catch the wallet, move to your strong side, draw, and fire fire fire.

I hear these types of responses often to these types of situations. My question is this, doesn't it put you in a very poor tactical situation to have an armed BG *behind you* with a loaded gun while you are fleeing? Perhaps he will be happy and take the wallet and go or perhaps he will do a quick scan of the contents, realize he was scammed and wanna pop off a few shots at you/pursue you and your friend.
You didn't mention if you had a companion with you, so I would take it for granted that you were alone...
"Look man, I don't want any trouble - here you go (reach for your wallet) here's all the cash in my wallet, it's like a hundred bucks."
Fling whatever cash in your wallet you have at his feet. He won't know it's not a hundred bucks (if it is, you're carrying too much cash and deserve to be robbed, idiot) and he'll scramble to grab it up. While he's bent over make like hell to the nearest cover and draw. Chances are he'll grab your cash and run in the opposite direction. If so, call the cops. You're out a few bucks and everyone lives, you don't need a lawyer, you have a great story to tell, etc. If he pursues after you, you're in a much better position to deal with it from cover.
I can't believe anyone would shoot someone over a wallet if they didn't have to.
Also, what type of crappy thug doesn't draw and get the draw on you in the first place? I guess there are idiots in every profession...
I will never think it's cowardly to try to avoid anyone getting hurt. However, I won't bet my life on the hope that throwing my purse, wallet, jewels or bank account numbers is going to appease a criminals appetite, especially if he has flashed a gun at me.
Let's look at the situation a little more critically.
First, you are "forced" to park in a questionable location. I'm sure if more driving around were an option you could probably find another, more suitable parking place, but for this scenarios purposes we are parked in a nefarious location.
Second, no drinking for me, thank you very much.
Third, I'm the girl in this scenario and I'm also armed.
Fourth, I doubt very seriously that my husband would be pocket carrying a .380. More likely he'd still be carrying his trusty Les Baer and I'd be concealing Wilson or my Kimber somewhere, but we'll say for this example that my husband is carrying one of our Colt Mustangs in his front pocket.
And our new found bad guy just brandished a full-frame handgun at us.
There is the possibility that throwing the wallet at him is enough to ease the situation as if he had intentions to shoot he probably would have done it already and just taken the goodies off of our dead bodies rather than bothering with "holding us up."
But here we are. We've been lethally threatened. He is armed, demanding money and looking at me with shifty eyes.
We could try to back up, try to talk our way out of it and I'm sure that we would do our best as we wish to hurt no one. Maybe we might be able to get away, but if he starts getting his hands any closer to that gun I can speak for both of us when I say we are done playing Russian roulette with the situation.
My husband moves me to his back trying to keep the BG distracted. This is my que. I draw my gun, drop to knees beside my husband, using him for cover and give the BG two in the chest, two in the pelvis and at least one good shot to the head, repeating until he is no longer a threat.
Then we promptly remove ourselves from the area until backup (and our lawyer) has arrived.
As unfortunate as it would be as well as tragic, it would be better than attending my husband's funeral, or him attending mine.

Best case scenario is he grabs the wallet and runs a few blocks before looking at the contents. By that time, I am in my car driving away.
Worst case scenario, he is pissed. But now I have some extra distance. I can even take cover, draw my gun and take a more deliberate shot. Maybe my date can even call 911.
As much as there are a lot of people who say they would shoot, I actually think this is a better option IF it can be executed. But trust me, I am NOT afraid to pull the trigger if I am cornered. I would rather not be a cornered cat, though.
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
BUT, in this situation, I do not think the date is armed. Or even likes guns. She is probably wetting her pants right now and may not follow instructions like, "Let's get out of here, NOW!"
This sounds similar to that real life situation aftermath thread. I bet she would testify, or not, but my first choice is to get out of there without firing a shot.
Let me also say, that I have ZERO experience in these matters. Most of you have more, and I could be wrong. Maybe I need that US Marshalls 300 degree simulator to run through a few practice situations to see if this would work or not.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
2011, Sony, R, $31; DVD+digital copy+Blu-ray, $41
Daniel Craig stars as journalist Mikael Blomkvist and best- actress Oscar nominee Rooney Mara as punk computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in this thriller based Stieg Larsson's best-selling novel. They are hired by a Swedish magnate to look into the disappearance 40 years ago of the man's grandniece. Their investigation uncovers chilling, long-buried family secrets and puts them in danger.
USA TODAY's Claudia Puig says: * * * ½ out of four. "Sometimes, but not often enough, American directors get European remakes right. Such is the case with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, in which filmmaker David Fincher revisits twisted serial-killer turf in a hypnotic land of ice and snow."
2011, Universal, PG, $30; DVD+digital copy+Blu-ray, $35
In this animated children's tale, E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand) would rather be a drummer than inherit his father's job as the Easter Bunny (Hugh Laurie). He runs away to Hollywood where he meets Fred O'Hare (James Marsden), a human who dreams of being the Easter Bunny. Meanwhile, Easter Chicks Carlos and Phil (both voiced by Hank Azaria) plot to take over Easter for themselves. Puig: * * *
The Muppets

Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang reunite to save the old Muppet Theater from a greedy oilman who wants to raze it and drill on the site. Walter (voiced by Peter Linz) is the world biggest Muppets fan and he enlists his brother (Jason Segel) and his brother's girlfriend (Amy Adams) to stage a telethon and raise the needed $10 million.

Atheists, give up your lost religion and seek the truth of Jesus

The following link shows why abiogenesis is impossible and, therefore, why evolution is impossible. Quit trying to deny the undeniable and embrace the Creator!

You obviously do not know what Atheism is, or you would not make such stupid comments.
#3 Nov 27, 2013
He clearly does not know what science is.
#4 Dec 1, 2013
Atheism is the belief that there is no God, or gods, and that we all came into existence through evolution. Atheism is, IOW, a religion whose god is the self and whose prophet is time.
#5 Dec 1, 2013
I know what science is NOT; it is not evolution or the evolutionary concepts of origins!
#6 Dec 1, 2013
I didn't post this to start an argument. Believe it and be saved or disbelieve and be lost. The choice is yours!

Atheists don't necessarily believe that life came into existence through evolution. There are still atheists who believe that we were intelligently designed by aliens. They call themselves Raelians.
The only reason a large majority of atheists, and large portion of religious people, believe in evolution, is based on the evidence.
That's what you don't get. To a large majority that call themselves atheists, evidence is everything. A claim without it, simply tells us there's no reason to believe the claim. Seems pretty reasonable, doesn't it?
#11 Dec 2, 2013
Really? Tell that to the evangelical Christians at Baylor University, the "largest Baptist University in the world," where the students go on mission trips, etc.
This is from the Biology Department at Baylor:
Statement on Evolution
"Evolution, a foundational principle of modern biology, is supported by overwhelming scientific evidence and is accepted by the vast majority of scientists. Because it is fundamental to the understanding of modern biology, the faculty in the Biology Department at Baylor University, Waco, TX, teach evolution throughout the biology curriculum. We are in accordance with the American Association for Advancement of Science's statement on evolution. We are a science department, so we do not teach alternative hypotheses or philosophically deduced theories that cannot be tested rigorously."
Also, here from the Baylor Geology Department:
"Question: Does the fossil record support the idea of biological change over time (biological evolution)?
Yes. The fossil record clearly indicates...
a progression in complexity of organisms from very simple fossil forms in the oldest rocks (>3.5 billion years old) to a broad spectrum from simple to complex forms in younger rocks,
that some organisms that were once common are now extinct, and
that the living organisms inhabiting our world today are similar (but generally not the same) as organisms represented as fossils in young sedimentary deposits, which in turn have evolutionary ancestors represented as fossils in yet older rocks.
Mammals, for example, are prevalent today and can be traced back in the fossil record for approximately 200 million years, but are not present as mammals in the fossil record before that; however, fossil forms that have reasonably been interpreted to be associated with the evolutionary precursors to mammals are found in older rocks.
Whether biological evolution occurs has not been a matter of scientific debate for more than a century. It is considered a proven fact."

That's the most BIZARRELY OBVIOUS bit of lying I've heard from a "Christian" on Topix in a long time. And that's saying something!LOL
#13 Dec 2, 2013
If you didn't post this to start an argument, then the only other apparent motivation would be a delusion that atheists would be moved from their disbelief by a simple minded exhortation. Seriously, do you blindly follow random advice from anonymous people on the internet? If so, you need to be kept away from the cutlery and your own money.
#14 Dec 2, 2013
1. The idea that we came from aliens just goes to show how desperate atheists are at coming up with an alternative for the obvious, a creator. And furthermore, it would still not answer the question of origins because it begs the ? who created the aliens?
2. The evidence points to creation more so than to evo.!
3. The evidence for creation is overwhelming; the evidence for evo. is lacking and what there "seems" to be is based on erroneous guesswork.
But you know all of this, I am sure, as you have probably been told time and again by others on here and on the many sites that refute evo.
#15 Dec 2, 2013
We've discussed this before in previous threads: these Christians, if they are so, are simply compromisers and should be ashamed of themselves.
#16 Dec 2, 2013
I don't blindly follow anyone. though I might be inclined to consider their info. That said, that is the reason I posted it; there could be people who are not so certain of the misinformation they have been fed over the years and might choose to rethink their position.

I didn't post it to start an argument; civil discourse, yes, but not angry, petty name-calling and arguing.

Well the title of this thread says it all,truth of Jesus LOL. Surely the creator of the thread forgot the quotes and capital as in Truth to distinguish the christian mythology, faith and lies from the actual meaning of the word truth.

The English Building at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, home of the Program in Jewish Culture and Society
The Program in Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Illinois is among the most exciting and unique programs in the country. Along with the religious aspects of Judaism, it places special emphasis on the social and cultural dimensions of Jewish life, from the difficult existence in early modern Europe to the literary glories of the early 20th century and from the history of Jewish immigration to the United States to everyday life in Israel today. In addition to scholarship in the field of religion, it thus draws on a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to explore anthropology, history, political science, economics, as well as languages and literatures within a Jewish Studies context.
The Program is committed to supporting all undergraduate and graduate students desiring to study Jewish culture and society in the spirit of free and open inquiry appropriate to a public, secular university. In addition to a broad range of courses, we offer a major and minor in Jewish Studies as well as many opportunities for graduate studies with a concentration in Jewish culture and society.
Each semester, the program also awards scholarships, provides research support to faculty, and sponsors conferences, lectures, and workshops in the field of Jewish Studies.
As members of the Program in Jewish Culture & Society at the University of Illinois we write to express our deeply felt concern over President Trump's executive order to halt indefinitely the acceptance of refugees into the United States and to pause immigration from several Muslim-majority countries.
The fact that the President chose International Holocaust Remembrance Day to announce this unethical ban broadcasts his insensitivity to the weight of history. Indeed, it is incongruent to commemorate the Holocaust and consider the ban favorably. Remembering the history of Jewish persecution has inspired many Jewish groups, including some synagogues, to welcome Syrian refugees precisely because so many Jewish refugees were not welcome here before or during World War II and perished as a consequence. Those congregations and groups recognize the urgent need to make a safe haven for refugees and not to repeat the mistakes of the U.S. government during the war that closed the border to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution.
As scholars of this history and as Jewish Studies scholars we are sensitive to exclusionary practices and laws and find the ban reprehensible. It is our responsibility to raise our voices in protest against President Trump's discriminatory refusal to admit Muslim refugees into this country. We demand an immediate rescission of this order. We demand that all those who have taken the necessary steps to be granted refugee status be allowed to enter the United States immediately. We demand the continued timely processing of refugee applications from around the world.

Letter to the Editor: Close door on burglars bearing imports
A burglary in the Greensburg area a short time ago reminded me of the similarities between how we protect our homes and how we protect our country. Just like the home that was burglarized in Greensburg, we protect the front door and leave the back door open. We send our loved ones who serve in the military to distant lands to protect us from terrorism and communism (the front door), while our back door (American companies selling cheap products made in foreign countries that put Americans out of work) is left wide open.
On a recent shopping trip to purchase Christmas gifts I sadly discovered that "Made in China" or made in some other foreign country has replaced the official trademarks for many well-known companies. I am now fearful of possessing anything that does not put my fellow Americans out of work because rich, greedy people have made it illegal to do so.
We spend hundreds of dollars to attend a football game to cheer on our favorite football team and its players (who make more money in just a few short hours than many of us make in a lifetime), then we stop on the way out of the stadium to purchase souvenirs that support the economies of foreign countries. Souvenirs cost us 10 to 20 times more than if they had been made here in Pittsburgh and could be putting our fellow Americans to work.
When did we become the property of the rich, greedy people in our own country, and how soon will it be before we have to learn a foreign language so that we can talk to our future landlords and bosses?

By Christine Dugas, USA TODAY
A growing number of Americans age 55 and older have put their retirement dreams on hold as they face a dismal financial reality: The recession has forced many into unemployment, stripped away years of their savings or dramatically reduced incomes during what they had hoped would be their final high-earning years.
"My generation thought that we were on easy street," says Irene Froehlich, 61, who lives in the Chicago area. "All of a sudden, we have been hit hard."
Froehlich, who works at home as an advertising sales contractor for two magazines, saw her income drop 75% at the beginning of 2009 because of declining ad sales. With less money, she relied more on her credit cards, and the amount she owed jumped by 25%. She filed for bankruptcy in May.
"I was backed into a corner, and I couldn't pay the bills any more," Froehlich says. "It was not the way that I was raised. I felt that I was a terrible person. But the economy has caused this, and we're paying the price."
CREDIT CARD DEBT: Debt settlement can be tricky
Even before the recession, older Americans were piling on debt. From 2000 to 2008, the average debt for households headed by people 55 or older nearly doubled to $66,000, according to Strategic Business Insights, a consumer behavior research firm.
The ranks of older bankruptcy filers also have been swelling rapidly. From 1991 to 2007, bankruptcy filings by those 65 and older increased by 150%, while filings in the 75-to-84 age group soared 433%, according to the Consumer Bankruptcy Project.
Older Americans are staggering under debt because of a variety of problems — from unexpected job losses late in life and underemployment to overwhelming medical bills and providing financial help to their children and grandchildren, analysts say. Making the issue even more serious: They have little time to climb out of debt, says Matthew Beatman, bankruptcy lawyer at Zeisler & Zeisler in Bridgeport, Conn.
Older Americans traditionally have represented a small portion of bankruptcy filings. But their ranks are continuing to grow faster than those of younger Americans, according to the Consumer Bankruptcy Project.
Debtors age 55 to 64 accounted for 16.9% of bankruptcy filers in 2009, up from 14.3% in 2007, according to the Consumer Bankruptcy Demographics Report, a sampling of debtors who have gone through the credit counseling required under the 2005 change in the bankruptcy law.
"This report is a Polaroid snapshot in time," says Leslie Linfield, executive director of the Institute for Financial Literacy, a financial counseling and education organization based in Portland, Maine, that releases the report. "And from year to year, you can see trends emerging."
When bankruptcy filers were asked what has caused their financial distress, in the 2009 report, 6.7% said retirement, up from 5.6% in 2007.
"I see more and more people who should be enjoying their golden years," says Jason Buckingham, a bankruptcy lawyer in Benicia, Calif. "Instead, they are in bankruptcy court because they have more debt than they can handle."
Some older Americans consider bankruptcy a terrible stigma. As a result, they often will do anything to juggle their finances, even relying on resources that could be protected from lenders in bankruptcy.
"The older group tends to be much more emotional and upset about the predicament that they find themselves in," says Alan Walton, bankruptcy lawyer in Birch Run, Mich. "And not being able to pay their bills is a reflection on their self-worth."
They try to stave off the inevitable. When they're finally pushed over the edge into bankruptcy, their problems have multiplied. Among the causes:
Credit card debt
More than two-thirds of older Americans who have filed for bankruptcy say credit cards are the reason, according to "The Rise in Elder Bankruptcy Filings and the Failure of U.S. Bankruptcy Law," a study released in August by John Pottow, a professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School.
Although young Americans grew up in a world of easy credit, older bankruptcy filers have 50% more credit card debt, according to Pottow's study. The median credit card debt of older bankruptcy filers in 2007 was $22,562, compared with $13,615 for younger filers, the study said.
And though older bankruptcy filers blame credit cards for their debt, they're not the underlying cause of their problems. Much of the credit card debt resulted from attempts to supplement lost income.
"When people in their 50s are laid off after they have been at the same company for 25 to 30 years, they find things have changed," says Brian Grogg, a credit counselor at GreenPath Debt Solution in Farmington Hills, Mich. "They need to know more about computers. They find it harder to get a job."
And seniors who rely on Social Security are finding it insufficient. There will be no increase in retirement benefits in 2011 for the second year in a row.
Assisting their children
Many elderly couples offer their children or grandchildren financial aid, even when it's to their own detriment, says Christina Davitt, a bankruptcy lawyer in Wenatchee, Wash.
One of her clients, who is 76, used his retirement money to try to help save his son's business. Even after he filed for bankruptcy to get out from under credit card debt, he's having trouble making ends meet with Social Security benefits because prices for his prescription drugs have skyrocketed.
Also, many parents in their 50s and 60s are supporting children who have graduated from college and haven't found jobs. "Quite a few individuals still pay for their kids' apartment rental and car insurance," Grogg says. As a result, they don't have as much to save for their retirement, or have used their emergency savings accounts.
"Since time eternal, this age group has helped out the younger age group when they've had financial problems," says Beatman. Now, "They can't help themselves, let alone an age group that often looked to them when they needed help."
Medical bills
After credit cards, health problems often are cited by elderly debtors as a primary reason for their bankruptcy filing, Pottow says.
Among the senior bankruptcy filers, 39.1% said a medical problem of the debtor or spouse was the reason, while 32.5% said that medical bills were the cause, Pottow said in congressional testimony last year. And 30.2% said that they had incurred more than $5,000 or 10% of their annual income in out-of-pocket medical bills.
When unable to pay for rising medical bills, debtors can use credit cards, complicating the issues even more. There may be better ways to cope with problems than credit cards, financial experts say. For example, they may be able to get a low-interest loan from a credit union or ask for assistance from family or friends. But it's possible that they prefer the anonymity of credit cards, Pottow says.
Other financial options have disappeared because of the collapse of the housing market and the recession. Before that, older Americans could use a home-equity loan.
Job losses and the recession
The unemployment rate for Americans 55 and older was 7.2% in September, a major increase from 2.9% in September 2006.
Even those who are still working are earning less. "Most of the people I represent are employed, but their overtime or bonuses have gone away," Buckingham says. "If there is an illness, that has caused a drop in income."
At the same time, the collapse of the stock market caused a sharp decline in retirement savings, and seniors have little time for holdings to recover in value before they need it.
Ardelle and Nestor Cirino bought a home with their son and his family in Vacaville, Calif., in 2005, before property values started to go down. Then they saw their investments plummet in value.
"There was no way we could have sold the house for what we owed on it," says Ardelle, who is 68. "We started to spend money from my husband's 401(k) plan to stay there. And that had dropped in value." The home cost $770,000, and several years later, they could not sell it for anything close to that.
As they tried to keep up with their mortgage payments, they and their son ran into financial problems. They realized that they would run out of money and probably couldn't hold onto their home. And Nestor had health problems. They knew they had to file for bankruptcy.
"I had to determine the best way to protect ourselves," Ardelle says. "It was really hard to just pull the plug. But the bankruptcy was probably the best part of the whole situation. It gave me a bit of hope that we will be able to get out of this and establish a good credit rating again."
Unfortunately, older debtors will do anything they can to try to delay filing for bankruptcy.
Like Cirinos, many have been willing to use their retirement savings to pay down debt. But that's a bad idea, experts say. With very limited exceptions, retirement money is beyond the reach of creditors, attorney Buckingham says.
Besides relying on credit cards, Froehlich used her retirement savings to delay the inevitable. Her bankruptcy was completed in July, and her credit card debt has been wiped out. But her retirement money has been depleted, and she now has to keep working much longer.
"I still feel bad about it," she says. "And I will have to continue to work. At least I don't mind it. I'm a workaholic."

I've only used it several times. My cat HATES to have his nails cut. But, when I was able to, these nail clippers did a nice clean cut. Hopefully I'll be able to use them again.....soon.
|by W. Infante "Mignonne422"
|Date Added: Monday 15 April, 2013
Since they're nice and sharp in the blades, clipping goes by quick, and the cuts are very clean. This is great because my cat is not terribly fond of getting them clipped, so the less time I spend torturing her, the happier we both are.
|by M. Wong "Yume"
|Date Added: Monday 04 March, 2013
They seem a bit simple for the price but they work like a charm. These are the best clippers I have used. They don't break or crush the nail. My kitty likes them much better than her old one that crushed her nail.

This is the first time I've used specific nail clippers for my cat, at first opting to use human nail clippers, which i used to cut her nail tips. I purchased these cause they where relatively inexpensive (over 50% off). I can almost cleanly cut my cat's nails now, rather than have them splinter. They do splinter on occasion but that's because her nails is either growing and weak, or is shedding/peeling off.I struggle with them a bit as I'm not used to using a nail clipper that's so easy to use. I also over-judged the clippable distance and I almost cut into my cat's quick. That would've been a major ouch...Good thing I have a relatively docile cat. I managed to get two paws done in one sitting, after much squirming and inexperience on my part.

I have found the JW pet Company's GripSoft Cat Nail Clipper to be very easy to use. I had tried a guillotine style clipper before and did not like it as much. I find that this one makes a nice, clean cut and is easy to use despite my cat's tendency to squirm.

Dear Mr. 'I don't wrangle ants':
You are a POS. I'm sick and tired of you renting space in this building. I wish you would move out!
1. Ants in the men's room is something you can handle. I'm a woman. I'm not a man, nor am I the exterminator. Just as possible that it is for me to spray, it is just as simple for you to spray.
2. If you insist that you don't want the lights turned off upstairs when you are still here at the end of the day, don't be an ******* and turn the lights off up there. Your quip about getting downstairs before I mention it is beyond aggravating.
3. Your sideways comments about the cleanliness of the car parked next to you is tired. You swear that the dirt from her car is going to get on your old ass sorry car.
4. When I tell you that the owner of the building is on the phone, it isn't your mother ****ing cue to knock and open. I hope you know that the owner is off the phone and is
getting a hold of you because you are an ass.
I wish you knew what your secretaries say about you.
Oh! And if you think your secretaries didn't tell what you say about the girls in the office, you are sorely mistaken.
Yours truly,
The girl that no longer takes your incoming calls.

Meyer: Hyde "Welcomed Back"
By Matt McCoy
Carlos Hyde did not do the right thing in a downtown bar back in July but since then Buckeye football coach Urban Meyer says his senior running back has done everything right.
Hyde was suspended for the first three games of the season, after being accused in a police complaint of hitting a 19-year old woman. Charges were never filed but video of the incident showed Hyde deliver a slap to the woman's cheek so Meyer leveled the punishment and got the response from Hyde he was looking for.
"I've got to make this clear that he is welcomed back," Meyer said on Tuesday's Big Ten coaches teleconference. "It's been a terrible three weeks for him but he's handled his business the right way. If he didn't handle his business the right way he wouldn't be playing in this game."
Hyde spent his time on the sidelines, helping the Buckeye defense by running tailback for Ohio State's scout team. Several of his teammates have singled out Hyde for his hard work during his suspension.
"There's two ways to handle discipline. One is to mope and complain and whine and there was none of that," Meyer said. "He handled this in a very unselfish manner..and it was made very clear to him it had to be that way because he could have come back and said 'There's nothing legally wrong with what I did,' (but) that never came up. I simply said 'This is the punishment...this is what I need you to do and you better walk a straight line here'...and he did."
Hyde was the clear starter at tailback before the incident but in his absence Jordan Hall has starred, rushing for 402 yards in three games. With Hyde returning now, Meyer called Ohio State's running back depth, "a good situation."
Getting Creative
Meyer also has a good situation at quarterback. Braxton Miller, the reigning Big Ten MVP is probable to return from his MCL strain. In his absence, Kenny Guiton has completed 67 percent of his passes for 449 yards. He's thrown seven touchdowns with only one interception.
Meyer has said Guiton has earned playing time even after Miller returns and was asked how that might play itself out this Saturday and beyond.
"The obvious (scenarios) are, one starts and one plays a couple series," Meyer said. "The others are, if Braxton's not healthy then he's kind of a guy (there) in case there's an emergency situation. The other is maybe a couple plays with them both on the field and being creative and trying to get your best players on the field. We're still working through that."
Coming into the season, Meyer had stressed the importance of getting off to a good start in games. Last season, the Buckeyes went 12-0 but often were sluggish early on. That problem has been solved as Ohio State is outscoring its opponents 68-14 in the first quarter. What happens after that is the new concern for Meyer.
"We come out of the gate really fast...whether it be (that we have) a substantial lead or the team makes adjustments on the other side that are slowing us down or a lack of execution. Those are all what we are currently addressing right now as a staff and as a team," Meyer said. "It's the definition of consistancy."
Who Are These Guys?
The Buckeyes are favored by 57 points over Florida A&M Saturday, which is the biggest point spread I can ever remember. The Rattlers, an FCS school (formerly Division I-AA) are 1-2. They beat Mississippi Valley State in their opener but have lost consecutive games to Tennessee State and Samford.
"I see two receivers with excellent speed. They like to throw the ball downfield and their quarterback (Damien Fleming) was an all (MEAC) conference performer," Meyer said. "On defense they blitz every down so they're a 3-4 (defense) and there's always four or five men coming so you look silly if you're not protecting the quarterback or not protecting the front side of the run game."

Saudi Arabia passes kingdom's first domestic abuse law
By Mahmoud Habboush
DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has passed landmark legislation aimed at protecting women, children and domestic workers against domestic abuse, a human rights official said on Thursday, in a move aimed at reducing hidden violence against women in the kingdom.
The "Protection from Abuse" law is the first of its kind in the ultra-conservative country, which has often faced international criticism for lacking laws that protect women and domestic workers against abuse.
The law, approved during a cabinet meeting on August 26, came several months after a local charity launched a nationwide campaign to combat violence against women.
Under the 17-article bill, those found guilty of committing psychological or physical abuse could face prison sentences of up to one year and up to 50,000 riyals ($13,300) in fines.
"This is a good law that serves major segments of the society in the kingdom, including women, children, domestic workers and non-domestic workers," Khaled al-Fakher, secretary general of the National Society for Human Rights, a government-licensed body, told Reuters.
Previously, domestic violence against women, children or domestic workers was treated under a general penal code based on Islamic sharia law.
Judges were left to decide according to their understanding of sharia codes, which were seen as permitting mild application of violence against "disobedient" wives and generally treated domestic violence as a private matter.
"We are always in favor of an explicit law that does not need interpretations or personal judgment," said Fakher, whose organization helped draft the law. Continued...

Fall is in the air.
The weekend before last it got down to an overnight low of 39 degrees up north.
The bluebirds have been hammering the elderberries. The hummingbirds have vamoosed - more than a couple of weeks ago - headed for Central and South America.
Am I the only one to have ever marveled over the migration that such a tiny bird makes every year?
Sinissippi Gal emailed me some more cool bird pictures from one of her predictable visitors.
We're beginning to see transient birds too.
Just the other day we spied some Eastern Phoebes.
The raptor you see at the top of the page and below is also on the move and I have a feeling I'm going to see my own regular representative of this species in the next couple of weeks.

Second round of shots at the vet DONE! AND I'm o-fficially worm free! Mom's really glad about that. She was getting pretty grossed out cleaning up my poopies. :D I weigh 10 whole pounds too! Momma says I'm moving into the "gangly" stage. I don't know what that means, but as long as Mom keeps giving me kisses, I don't care. :D
Me and Stevie are getting along a whole lot better. I think part of it is because Mom and Aunt B have worked out an eating schedule that works better for everyone. We still grumble at little about sharing toys, but Mom's on top of that part too.
All in all, we're all adjusting. I love having a furever home!
Here's an update on me!
Momma says I'm growing-growing! The de-wormer the vet gave me is working really well. My tummy is not as swollen but Mom and Aunt B are a little grossed out at my poopies. :D
I'm learning what "no" and "no bites" means. I've also learned to hate the spray bottle. They squirt me when I'm doing something I shouldn't.
My sisfur, Miss Buddie, LOVES to play ball. We play every afternoon in the backyard when the peeps get home. Buddie is kind of a ball hog, but I play too. I bring back leaves and sticks. That counts right?
All in all, life is good in my world. Me and Stevie Ray are getting to be better friends and Oscar J. Cat is letting me chase him a little. At least I don't get hissed at for just entering the room anymore. :)
I'm going back to the vet this Saturday for more shots and some more of that yummy wormy stuff. I'll have Momma update you on how we do!
Forgive me if this entry isn't very long. I'm just a baby and I get pooped pretty quick.
My name is Dude and I just found my forever home. I have two sisfurs, Gracie Mae & Miss Buddie, and two brofurs, Stevie Ray and Oscar J. Cat.
I'm the youngest. The vet says I'm about 7 weeks. Daddy found me at work and brought me home. Everyone has been super nice to me. The cat still hisses at me sometimes but Buddie says that he still hisses at her sometimes too. :D
I can't wait to meet all of you. I'm learning at lot and Mommy thinks I'll have good manners before too long. :D

Color changing paint
I saw this a few days ago and my first reaction was a mix of impressiveness and want for my car. Although now that I've had some more time to think about it I'm not so sure. It looks cool, but it would bug me not being fully one color or another. It seems like it would really be for a show car, not a DD. I also feel that this will become popular with the ricer scene and ruin it forever. FOL

It's like the hyper color shirts from the late 80s. On a diff note, there's a company by me that does tinting and car vinyl wrapping. He's got the chameleon wrap that the color looks diff in diff angles/sunlight. It's actually really cool. The one I saw goes from green blue and purple amongst other colors.

NeverSummer, I like the paint that changes colors from different angles. It looks much cleaner than the temperate changing paint. The car stays completely one color or another, not splotchy.

Well what's nice is that you can get the car wrapped in vinyl that changes color from diff angles. Vinyl also protects your car for a nice resell in the future

They make temperature changing paint.
Hot vs cold
haha I actually just saw this yesterday! trippy stuff! Wonder what it runs in price
I'm sure it's pricey and screw a touch up. It's probably respray it all or nothing.
just about, unless of course it's redone within good time by the person why sprayed it originally.
Check out the line by House Of Kolor.
Some like it, some hate it.
I love almost anything custom that takes a skill set.
I'm doing a bike in their candy red this winter, with custom airbrushed snake skin wrap and snake underbelly in an off white/yellow., maybe pink belly, I dunno quite yet.

Tony Blair was under pressure last night to announce the timetable for his departure before the May elections - to limit the damage to Labour from the "loans for peerages" affair.
Labour MPs called on Mr Blair to announce the date he intends to quit Downing Street, before the potentially disastrous elections for in Scotland, Wales and local councils in England.
A timetable could avoid the embarrassment for Mr Blair of having to quit immediately if one of his staff is charged with criminal offences over the alleged Number 10 cover-up that the police are now investigating. So far, he has said he will quit before the next Labour party conference in September but has not given a date.
The demands for a timetable came as tensions rose again between Blair loyalists and supporters of his expected successor Gordon Brown over the Prime Minister's refusal to quit early. Mr Brown's allies believe the Government is being damaged by Mr Blair's refusal to go before the summer.
There are fears in the Brown camp that Mr Blair may be seeking to delay until the last moment before the Commons rises for the summer recess in July, giving Mr Brown little opportunity to make an impact before MPs leave Westminster for their summer break.
Mr Blair indicated last week that he would be still in office at the time of the June EU summit, but he was expected to stand down shortly after that. However, a Downing Street insider said yesterday Mr Blair wanted to stay on until July, and Mr Brown wanted him to step down in June.
One of Mr Blair's former aides Lance Price, the former Labour director of communications, said Mr Blair would be "irretrievably damaged" by the police investigation which led to the arrest of the PM's "gatekeeper", Ruth Turner, on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
"If anybody is ever charged with frustrating the police investigation it will be because they forgot the key political lesson of Watergate - it's the cover-up that gets you in the end," Mr Price said in the London Evening Standard.
Labour's former defence minister Peter Kilfoyle said: yesterday "I think these latest events are damaging the party further. I believe it would be in the interests of the party if the Prime Minister announced before the May elections the date when he will finally go."
Alan Simpson, a leading member of the left-wing Campaign Group of Labour MPs, said: 'This is becoming a descent into farce. We are clearly in the last days of the Blair administration and the sooner he announces the date he is going the better. He should give the party a boost by announcing it before the May elections.
"But we are also becoming alarmed by the lack of anything coming from the Brown camp. He should be saying he will stop the creeping privatisation of the NHS and halt Blair's attempts to set the reform agenda for the next 20 years but Gordon has been silent. He has a responsibility to speak out urgently."
Mr Blair will face more demands from of his MPs tomorrow for him to quit early before more damage is done to his inheritance by Mr Brown in a Commons debate on Iraq. A cross-party group of Labour, Tory and Liberal Democrat anti-war MPs are lined up to protest at his refusal to follow Peter Hain, the Northern Ireland Secretary, by criticising the Bush administration for rejecting the report of the Iraq study group.
