As a former bride, I found centerpieces to be one of the biggest projects every bride faces. With the era of "DIY" brides in full swing, there is a lot expected of you! Do you go with a florist and leave it at that, or do you take on the task of creating several (at least 10) tables worth of decor, to tie your wedding together and for an extra something for guests to take home.
Sunflower Dude and I decided to incorporate Disney into the wedding, we got engaged in Disney World and went there for our honeymoon, to put it simply, we are a Disney family. On the other hand, we were having a rustic, fall wedding with burlap for miles. We decided to separate the venue into four sections: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios (MGM) and Animal Kingdom, of course! Then in each "land" we created some of our favorite places, rides and restaurants into tables!
How did you all incorporate something you love into your wedding? How did you decide on centerpieces? I'd love to know!

I had the same problem. I got it removed. Removal was simple and easy. My old smile mostly came back but the scar tissue that built up around where the implant had been still partly blocks my smile. That's why I'm on this site now..... READ COMMENT

GLOUCESTER director of rugby Nigel Davies admitted his side only had themselves to blame after they were beaten by West Country rivals Bath in a feisty Aviva Premiership encounter, writes Chris Bailey.
In a match that witnessed seven cards including three yellows for Bath and two yellows and two reds for Gloucester, George Ford converted a late penalty try for an 18-17 triumph.
The Cherry & Whites ended the match with only 11 men on the field after the shameful mass collective punch-up.
The defeat left Davies' side in ninth position though they remain just three points behind Exeter Chiefs who occupy what is now a prized European qualifying spot in seventh.
But after seeing his side have a man advantage at times and lead in the match, Davies admitted the performance fell below his standards.
"We have got to look at ourselves first," said Davies. "Our discipline, regardless of anything else, has not been good enough this season.
"It's hugely frustrating. We did so much good in terms of stepping up and playing the type of game that we needed to win a local derby.
"There was good intent although our accuracy let us down on occasions in the first half in particular.
"I think what we got at the end of the game was a bit of a farce and there is a lot of frustration within the players because of the inconsistency of refereeing throughout the game."
The victory moved Bath on to 59 points in the Aviva Premiership table – five clear of Harlequins who had put the pressure on by beating Sale Sharks on Friday night.

I've heard that you can get intradermal Botox specifically to refine the look of oily, open pored, and bad textured skin. Is this true? Or is this a waste of money? Does it work and where on your face can you get this done? What if there is scarring present in or around the pores? Will any doctors know what I'm talking about in the Northeast US if I ask for this treatment?
Botox for Poor Skin Texture from Pores, Oil, and Scars?
Doctor Answers 4
Botox to reduce pore size, oil, and scars
There is no physiologic reason why this should work, and probably doesn't! Accutane--low dose, intermittant, and long term can help reduce sebum (oil). The SmoothBeam laser definitely reduces sebaceous gland activity, hence reduced oil and acne. Fraxel Laser resurfacing can improve scars, and may help shrink pore size due to adjacent collagen remodelling.
Botox for skin texture & pores
There isn't a well-established method or standard for Botox to help in skin texture, pore size, oil, or scarring. There have been some reports by dermatologist & plastic surgeons that Botox cosmetic has helped not only facial wrinkles, but also skin quality. Keep in mind, Botox cosmetic is not FDA approved for intradermal treatment. Any positive results would be delayed, and there may yet be unknown risks to this method.
Speak with a cosmetic physician who provides Botox, and determine if Botox cosmetic is appropriate for you.
Botox for large pores

Early data suggests Botox for poor skin texture may work
A small study by A Shah published in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatolgy in 2008 entitled "Use of intradermal botulinum toxin to reduce sebum production and facial pore size" suggests that Botox may help wth pore size and sebum production. The study was small so larger studies are needed to see if other doctors get similar results.
Botox should have no effect on scarred tissue. Subcision may help for scarred tissue.
Retin A or Accutane (not if you are pregnant) may be better for reducing sebum producition, and less costly.
I would encourage a skin care conslt with a good dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
You should be able to bring up these findings in your consult.
Good luck!

Don't you recollect, Mr. Grimaldi, that he would not join the party to Woolwich?
I went home angry with Grimaldi, Rinaldi, and everyone else.
These latter suggest the physique of Grimaldi rather than of Cro-Magnon artists.
Grimaldi says that he could not find two capitals or two bases alike.
Grimaldi nodded his entire assent, and they went in and ordered some bread and cheese, and beer.
The name was to be Grimaldi, and I was to write it all every week.

J.K. Rowling: Life After Harry Potter, ABC1, 8pm
In something of a coup for the ABC, the host of the First Tuesday Book Club, Jennifer Byrne, scored one of the few interviews available with author J.K. Rowling on the eve of the launch of The Casual Vacancy, the writer's first book for adult readers. Byrne will profile the woman who gave the world Harry Potter, creating a global publishing phenomenon and selling more than 400 million books, and ask her about the challenges of writing for a different readership.
The program was not available for preview - due to publisher-imposed security restrictions that would do ASIO proud - but it's scheduled to screen two hours after the book's official launch in Australia.
The X Factor: One Direction to Superstardom, Seven, 7.30pm
It begins, of course, with a crowd of screaming girls lining a red carpet, and goes on to sing the praises of the English boy band One Direction, describing them, without irony or any hint of embarrassment, as ''the hottest property on Earth''. Then this shameless promotion for The X Factor and its creator, Simon Cowell, proceeds to wax lyrical about the talent quest and its singular capacity to create global singing sensations.
The mentor-judges from the Australian edition dutifully pump the brand and salute its awesome power, as do local success stories Reece Mastin and Johnny Ruffo. There are interviews - well, at least there are silly questions pitched in the direction of the One Direction band members, who play the game with ease and good grace. Over-loaded with hyperbole, this hollow hagiography is nothing more than an overblown ad.
Rake, ABC1, 8.30pm
Written by Andrew Knight and directed by Rowan Woods, the fourth episode of Rake's second season features a spark of something rarely seen from the show's protagonist, Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh).
The generally cynical and dishevelled lawyer has a brief burst of optimism about the world and his place in it in a story that features Joshua Floyd (Martin Henderson), a Julian Assange-like crusader arguing for more transparent democracy. Floyd is the fiance of Cleaver's former hooker friend and now best-selling author, Missy (Adrienne Pickering).
Amid the mire of relationships, Cleaver's eviction from his chambers, unwelcome news about his father's will, and the ongoing rough-and-tumble of legal and political life, there's a flash of hope for Cleaver that he might actually do something of substance and significance, and its revelation comes in a most unexpected place, the confessional booth in a church. You'll have to tune in to find out how and why, and what happens when the rake of the title dares to dream of some sense of order and meaning in his chaotic life.
Lowdown, ABC1, 9.30pm
Lachlan Reid (Matt Dyktynski) is the star of a popular TV buddy comedy called Rex & I. He's also a short-tempered and demanding bully who treats his co-star (Toby Truslove) with contempt and has a Christian Bale-style explosion on set when a soundman inadvertently gets in his eyeline. When that eruption of abuse reaches a wider audience on YouTube, Lachlan becomes the latest target for tabloid entertainment reporter Alex Burchill (Adam Zwar), who's experiencing a few problems of his own, primarily to do with where he might live and his on-again off-again relationship with Rita (Beth Buchanan).
Nevertheless, Alex dutifully shows up on set with his loyal partner in muckraking, photographer Bob (Paul Denny), intent on turning a puff piece into an expose by provoking Reid into another outburst.
This is not quite as zingy as some of the other episodes in the second season of Zwar and Amanda Brotchie's cleverly observed and delightfully deadpan comedy about the media and celebrity culture, but it does have its moments.

Franklin & Bash, FX, 7.30pm
Life continues to be one long frat party for obnoxious lawyers Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). Their talent for using silly courtroom stunts to win cases has landed them high-paid, autonomous positions at the Los Angeles firm of venerable legal-eagle Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell). Tonight's episode begins with Infeld's uptight nephew, Damien Karp (Reed Diamond), upbraiding Franklin and Bash for holding a boozy party in their office. He barely has time to finish before old Stanton arrives with a bevy of young lovelies in tow, intent on partying down himself. And Stanton is wearing sunglasses inside because he's cool, unlike his stuffed-shirt nephew! Yuk, yuk, yuk! Franklin and Bash are about to get new clients, two female sailors facing a court martial over a bar brawl. Of course, they blithely take the case despite having no experience in military courts, and proceed to taunt the opposing counsel. Their conduct, like the show itself, is aggressively juvenile and boring.
Stars of the Silver Screen: James Stewart, Studio, 8.30pm

Crowned and Dangerous (1997) Seven, noon
Enter the world of beauty pageants and the first thing you'll find is ugliness on an epic scale. Hello, Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. But is this lunchtime waffle a comedy or just a hopeless joke? Small-town beauty queen Danielle Stevens (Baywatchcutie Yasmine Bleeth) is perpetually jealous of her arch rival, Shauna Langley (Cassidy Rae), because she is always judged runner-up and Shauna always gets the winner's sash. So when attempts are made to kill Shauna, Danielle is the prime suspect. But also in the frame are her domineering mother (Jill Clayburgh), a former boyfriend who is now dating Danielle and the former boyfriend's stepmother. Danielle doesn't do her image any good with a homicidal rendition of Today Was No Ordinary Day, and it's difficult not to wonder why the police, having waded through countless cheerleader homicides and junk like Drop Dead Gorgeous, don't simply turn a blind eye to the matter.
The Chimp (2001) SBS Two, 11.20pm
Does anything ever happen in small-town Kyrgyzstan? If the events portrayed in this film are any indication, the answer is no. But for teenagers in any minor or remote community there's never enough to do and the obvious becomes both repetitive and oppressive. Mirlan, who is about 17 and known as the Chimp, is just such a kid. On the eve of his call-up for national service, he takes stock. What exactly is he leaving behind? Teenage angst, peer-group rivalries, futile quests to seduce local girls, alcoholism, parental disputation, part-time jobs and behind-the-times music. What will he encounter? None of the above? Or isthere something else?
Zim and Co (2005) SBS One, 12.10am (Fri)
Victor, a young unemployed dude from the seething banlieue burbs of grey Paree, has come a gutser on his motorbike while stoned and, as a consequence (plus his priors), faces a stretch in the slammer. A steady job with reasonable prospects seems the only solution likely to sway the magistrate, but in seeking work Victor gets into even more bovver. A good job requires a car and he doesn't have one. But he has mates - guys who are all too familiar with racism, loaded justice and a system based on exclusion. Diverse ethnicity, street-smart improvisation and the solidarity of like-minded ghetto blokes offer a likeable counterpoint, giving Pierre Jolivet's film great heart and some considerable soul.

Explosion at McElroy Mine
Moundsville, W.Va.
January 22, 2003
On behalf of Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and all of us at the Department of Labor,
I would like to express our deep sorrow and sympathy to the families of the miners
who lost their lives early this morning in a shaft explosion at the McElroy Mine.
The hearts of all of us, especially in the Mine Safety and Health Administration, go out to these
families, and to the injured miners and their families also.
Most of us in the Mine Safety and Health Administration have worked in the mines and come
from mining families. We take all fatalities and injuries in the mining industry personally,
and we grieve with you."
We were notified of the explosion at about 2 a.m. and immediately sent officials to the site.
MSHA placed a control order on the mine so that all actions taken must be approved by our ranking
official on site.
MSHA worked closely with company officials' and the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety
and Training during the recovery of the victims.
I have ordered a complete investigation to be started today. We will determine exactly what happened to cause the explosion
and we will take the steps necessary to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Also, it would be easier for us to help if you had a simple test case
that illustrates the problem. Having the MongoDB PM code you included
earlier and the test case as a patch that I can apply against
Jackrabbit trunk would be ideal.
Note that there's been other efforts to implement the Jackrabbit PM
interface based on NoSQL databases, but such efforts commonly
encounter the issue that Jackrabbit 2.x expects the operation of
saving transient changes to be atomic. Do you have a way to ensure
that with MongoDB?

British Army rifles defective
More than 300,000 standard issue British Army rifles, some of which are in service in Northern Ireland, are set to be recalled after evidence showed the weapon was prone to jamming.
The Ministry of Defence faces a bill running into tens of millions of pounds for modifying the SA80 rifle.
Built by Royal Ordnance in the 1980s when it was under state ownership, the SA80 has been in use by the Army for more than a decade but there are serious concerns it jams in extremely hot and cold weather conditions.
Defence Secretary Geoffrey Hoon told the BBC he had commissioned a report into possible upgrades as soon as he was made aware of the jamming problem.
But he said he would wait for the report's conclusions before deciding whether to recall all or some of them.
He said: "As soon as I became aware I indicated, as a matter of some urgency, an upgrade programme should be considered and that is what is happening at the moment.
"I want to ensure that the rifle available is the best that is possible."
Mr Hoon said the cost was being looked at "very carefully" but added if they all needed replacing they would be, on a rolling programme so all soldiers would have rifles suitable to the conditions they were working in.
Fears had been raised from the start about its reliability in particularly hot, or extremely cold, conditions after soldiers reported the rifle could jam.
In campaigns in the Gulf and Kosovo, troops have used the weapon in the conditions most likely to render it unreliable.
Now, a study carried out by the MoD itself has revealed significant shortcomings.
In 1998, arms manufacturers Heckler & Koch were asked to modify the weapon and carry out extreme temperature tests in Kuwait and Alaska.
The tests showed a modified version to be greatly improved.
The SA-80 replaced the Belgian FN which was the standard issue weapon during the 1970s.
More revelations
The news follows revelations earlier this week that Ł1bn modifications to the RAF's Tornado bomber had left it unable to drop modern laser-guided "smart" bombs.
Menzies Campbell, Liberal Democrat spokesman on defence, said: "This is the latest episode in the catalogue of embarrassment for the Ministry of Defence in relation to armaments and equipment.
"The SA80 was shown to be defective as long ago as the Gulf War, and again more recently in Kosovo.
"Isn't it time that someone took responsibility for these embarrassing and inadequate procurement projects?"
The Heckler and Koch report was given to Mr Hoon in December, and he is expected to announce a final decision on a recall within weeks.
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus said the implication of the defect was that lives have been put at risk although the MoD would probably discount such suggestions.

Elizabeth balks at bridge assignment
Elizabeth officials are seeking relief from the Public Utility Commission's plan to have borough police enforce the weight limit that PennDOT has imposed on the Elizabeth Bridge.
"They wanted us to be responsible for the enforcement of the posted limit," Elizabeth council president Monica Glowinski said. "We just do not have the capacity to do that."
And as a result of a bureaucratic mistake, the borough will have to repeat its appeal of the PUC's request.
A letter issued by PUC secretary Rosemary Chiavetta on Sept. 16 proposed that "Elizabeth borough and West Elizabeth borough and/or the Pennsylvania State Police enforce the posted maximum load limit established herein, enlisting the assistance of the Commonwealth Weight Enforcement teams, if necessary."
The PUC is getting into the act because of concern for Norfolk Southern and CSX tracks under the bridge. CSX trains run through Elizabeth; Norfolk Southern runs through West Elizabeth.
The burden would be on Elizabeth police to enforce the limit — 32 tons on single trucks and 40 on combination vehicles — because they patrol both boroughs.
"The result of this enforcement and the related detour is heavy commercial traffic through the borough, which has already caused significant property and economic damages to borough citizens," Elizabeth Solicitor Pat McGrail wrote in an appeal to the PUC dated Oct. 16.
McGrail's letter and other information is posted on the PUC's website with the docket number M-2013-2382620.
The docket was established less than two weeks from the date that PennDOT posted weight restrictions on the bridge.
Glowinski said the borough has not heard back from the PUC, but PennDOT since has made a complaint that was noted in a subsequent PUC letter.
"We have determined that (the earlier) letter inadvertently failed to make the Pennsylvania State Police a party to this proceeding," Chiavetta wrote in a letter dated Monday.
"Considering the commission is issuing a corrected secretarial letter that includes an additional party to this proceeding, the commission will take no action on Elizabeth borough's petition," Chiavetta wrote.
"However, Elizabeth borough may file a new petition for appeal from staff action with regard to the corrected secretarial letter."
In any case, the borough and solicitor argue the onus for enforcement falls on state police.
"Municipal police jurisdiction does not extend to a state highway except under specific circumstances," McGrail wrote in her first appeal.
"Instead, enforcement of the weight limit falls squarely within the responsibility of the Pennsylvania State Police."
A hearing could take place but not until all parties comply with the order.
"Upon completion of the work herein ordered, a formal hearing be held, if requested, to elicit testimony from all affected parties relative to the costs incurred by the parties in performing work in accordance with this letter," Chiavetta wrote.
At the borough council meeting on Tuesday, officials expressed concern over the willingness of state police to assist in monitoring the weight limit.
State police officials in Pittsburgh and Washington, where Troop B's headquarters cover the Belle Vernon barracks, could not be reached for comment at presstime.

Electronic Deprivation: Disconnecting Teens From The Internet For Six Months
A mom chronicles her life after unplugging herself and her three teenage kids off the nternet.
For six months, Susan Maushart completely took herself and her 3 teen kids off the grid-no Internet, no TV or any other electronic gadget and no cell phones. Before the experiment, life was a whirlwind of digital communication for the family:
Like so many teens, they couldn't do their homework without simultaneously listening to music, updating Facebook and trading instant messages. If they were amused, instead of laughing, they actually said "LOL" aloud. Her girls had become mere "accessories of their own social-networking profile, as if real life were simply a dress rehearsal (or more accurately, a photo op) for the next status update."
The experiment, which she chronicled in her new book The Winter of Our Disconnect, had a significant impact on her children, who like most in the millennial generation, were born and live with everpresent gadgets. Not only were they able to rediscover the simpler pleasures of life such as having family meals, learning to play music and reading books, they also became more focused and improved their grades.
Yahoo News reports on the changes these kids underwent after their 'electronic deprivation':
Her son Bill, a videogame and TV addict, filled his newfound spare time playing saxophone. "He swapped Grand Theft Auto for the Charlie Parker songbook," Maushart wrote. Bill says The Experiment was merely a "trigger" and he would have found his way back to music eventually. Either way, he got so serious playing sax that when the gadget ban ended, he sold his game console and is now studying music in college.
Maushart's eldest, Anni, was less wired and more bookish than the others, so her transition in and out of The Experiment was the least dramatic. Her friends thought the ban was "cool." If she needed computers for schoolwork, she went to the library. Even now, she swears off Facebook from time to time, just for the heck of it.
Maushart's youngest daughter, Sussy, had the hardest time going off the grid. Maushart had decided to allow use of the Internet, TV and other electronics outside the home, and Sussy immediately took that option, taking her laptop and moving in with her dad — Maushart's ex-husband — for six weeks. Even after she returned to Maushart's home, she spent hours on a landline phone as a substitute for texts and Facebook.
But the electronic deprivation had an impact anyway: Sussy's grades improved substantially. Maushart wrote that her kids "awoke slowly from the state of cognitus interruptus that had characterized many of their waking hours to become more focused logical thinkers."

This Man Survived a Bear Attack by Grabbing It's Tongue [VIDEO]
You've got to hear the details of a man from Canada who survived a bear attack by grabbing it's tongue. Gilles Cyr said he was walking through the wooded area of his property when suddenly something black came flying out of the woods and lunged at him. He was in no mood to let the bear chew the life out of him. Needless to say, he's lucky to be alive.
The CBC reports that there has been a drop in licenses issued to hunt bear in Canada and perhaps that's why they're seeing more of them.
The province's black bear population has jumped to 17,000 from about 12,000 eight years ago.
Gilles gave them some graphic details of the attack.
"When I opened up my eyes it was on top of me — with the friggin' noise, it's crazy the way it growls. Right from the stomach. It's not from the mouth, it's just inside. His mouth was wide open right in front of my face so the last thing I remember I had his tongue in my hand and I didn't want to let go because he was trying to fight me off. So he was hitting me with his claws, so I says, 'If you're going to hurt me, I'm going to hurt you too.' So he was biting his tongue at the same time"
Wow! I wouldn't want to be in that situation. Get the rest of the details here:

The 9-11 Tragedy
Yes, we are almost on September 11, 2016. For those who may not be aware, this is the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy where about 3000 people were killed in suicide attacks on America. Yes, this is the day that comes every year, when America gets to rip its collective scab off the wound so it can relive the pain and bleed again and this is a day for grief.
Should Muslims Vote?
I have heard many a Muslim scholar and Imam telling their listeners not to vote and I have disagreed with them every time.
Until now…
As I see it, here is the problem Muslims face in every US (or other?) election; our votes do not count. To be sure, they count as far as the politicians are concerned because they understand how razor-thin margins can make the difference between an electoral victory or defeat.
- Senator Al Franken from (MN) won his first election by a mere 7 votes and two recounts.
- Senator Maria Cantwell (WA) won her first election by 2900 votes after spending over $10 million of her own money; big egos require big spending!
- Ex-Gov Christine Gregoire won her first election by 129 recounted votes.
- And the greatest tragedy of all, King George The Worst (GW) won his first election by a microscopic 600 Floridian votes…incidentally, where Muslims gave him their greatest support and money..
That's how crucial votes can be for those fighting elections.
So why shouldn't Muslims vote?
Because politically, we do not exist. Continue reading

Shredding the Constitution; America's Muslim Problem
How? Why?…Muslim Woman Beaten to Death in California
"Another innocent person killed by a Crazy"…at least, that is what most uninvolved people will think as they move on to their daily chores and pursuits.
Muslims in America on the other hand, will see the brutal killing of this Iraqi Muslim woman in California, as one more piece of convincing evidence that America IS gearing up to a genocidal state of mind, towards Muslims.
No, thankfully, not ALL Americans are filled with hate and fear towards Muslims, but it does not take ALL members of any group, to ignite the fires of hate-driven violence, it only takes a small, loud percentage, abetted by the silence of the large majority who don't want to upset the routines of their lives, by getting involved.
No, not ALL Republicans are such monsters, not ALL Tea-Party members are filled with this hate towards Islam and Muslims and not ALL Democrats support such hate. But certainly ALL Republicans, ALL Tea Partiers and ALL Democrats, are guilty of at least being default supporters because of their silence.
And ALL Americans are involved in this hate-machine because Continue reading
Muslim & American; The Two Faces of the West
Sometimes, I think God has a macabre sense of humor. He allows us to firmly place ourselves in a self-righteous position and then deftly pulls the rug away from under us by presenting an entirely contrary situation.
Take the case of the mass-murderer in Afghanistan.
On Sunday, March 11, 2012, the soldier slaughtered 4 Afghan men, 3 women and 9 children, dragged their bodies into one place and set them on fire. Then he calmly walked back to his base and surrendered saying, "I did it". For the next FIVE days, all we were allowed to know about his identity was that he is a Staff Sergeant from Joint Base Lewis McCord (JBLM) in Tacoma Washington. The military said they were keeping his identity quiet in order to protect his family. Continue reading
Killing Afghans, 'Pakis', Iraqis, Somalis…WHY???!!!
Updated March 13, 2012…
When the news of a US soldier going out to kill Afghans, first broke, American media were focusing on TWO deaths even as they also reported that the Afghanis were saying about 17 had been killed. Almost immediately other diffusers and excuses began to pour forth, giving "News Coverage" a new meaning.
The New York Times can STILL not bring itself to report the 16 murders without offering some softening words; in the headline, the US soldier is said to kill civilians even as NYT goes on to describe what the soldier (from our Puget Sound area) did:
New York Times: "U.S. Sergeant Is Said to Kill 16 Civilians in Afghanistan"
- "…the soldier, who had walked more than a mile from his base, tried door after door, eventually breaking in to kill within three separate houses. The man gathered 11 bodies, including those of 4 girls younger than 6, and set fire to them, villagers said."
As if to justify the murders or at least, to minimize the tragedy, Super-Patriot, Angry-Bird John McCain shamelessly shifted the focus to 9-11 instead of offering even a few grudging words of regret or sympathy.
"We should not forget that the attacks on the United States of America originated in Afghanistan," Senator John McCain told CNN. Inferring of course, that a few deaths of the unwashed, here or there, should not be a cause for concern. Continue reading
Why Muslims MUST get engaged everywhere in the US
The Grand Question of the Day is not whether Muslims should get engaged in all aspects of life around us, rather, it is whether Muslims can afford not to get actively engaged and how long we may be expected to last if we remain isolated in our own country?
It is said there are three kinds of people; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who ask, "What happened?"
These days, Muslims fall in the second and third categories. We avoid getting involved and offer justifications that salve our conscience that we don't need to get involved after all.
Some Muslims say it is "Haram" (forbidden) to associate and cooperate with the ("Unbeliever") "kuffar". The theory being that the workings of "Muslim" countries offer us a better chance to help with honesty, decency and Justice, than the workings in the "kuffar" countries…the THEORY!
The facts are in stark contrast with the idealistic picture we have in our minds between the Good ("Muslim" countries) and the Bad ("kuffar" countries). In fact, there is more Iman (faith) in the so-called "kuffar" countries, than there is in the countries we would love to think of as "Muslim" countries. We have greater freedoms HERE, we can pursue our jobs with more ease and not worry about paying bribes just the stay in office or, get promoted and for the most part, we get more respect and greater peace here than we would in any "Muslim" country.
There is also nothing in the Quran, the prohibits Muslims from working in countries where we are minorities.
Some Muslims argue against cooperation with "the kuffar" because they are hostile towards Muslims and our cooperation will only help them persecute Muslims more.
Some Muslims keep thinking this is only for a short time and they will return to the Old country "one of these days". These people are never going to settle down, but few of them will ever return top the Old country; they will continue to grumble and idealize the Old country more and more, but with every visit "back home" they will postpone their plans of return for a little while longer…until they are buried here.
What to do? Continue reading

The Grollo family's Equiset is in due diligence to buy a near $15 million office building on the corner of Melbourne's Bourke and Little Queen streets that could be transformed into a boutique hotel.
The property, which includes the historic Equity Chambers Building, is being sold by Malaysian-listed DKLS Industries Berhad which said it had heads of agreement to sell it for $14.95 million. The offshore group picked up the building at 472-478 Bourke Street in January 2012 for about $12.72 million. Its purchase came after failed developer St Hilliers had shown interest around $18 million to $19 million.
The building carries a permit to construct a 215-unit apartment tower behind the historic building but Equiset is looking to take the site in a different direction.
"We're looking at a number of different options at the moment, including potentially a boutique hotel with apartments above or strata office," Equiset head Lorenz Grollo said. "As part of the due diligence process, we will investigate what can be done on the site."
Built in 1931 on the site of Melbourne's first synagogue, the six-storey building is heritage listed and sits on a site of around 1000 sq m.
Only two prime Bourke Street shops occupy it, making it a prime development opportunity.
Melbourne hotels are more than 80 per cent occupied and hoteliers and investors are looking to launch new projects. Malaysia's Tune Hotels group has a property, Singaporean property and hospitality giant Fraser and Neave bought a serviced apartment complex in the city for $30 million, and US hospitality group Wyndham paid over $40 million for a partly completed complex.
The owners of the Southbank Boulevard site in Melbourne, which has approval for a 108-storey tower, are planning a hotel on the top of the project. Hotel consultants Dransfield are working to secure an operator.
Melbourne hotels recorded revenue per available room growth of 1.1 per cent in the September 2012 quarter, on the consultant's numbers.
Equiset is also building a five-star Sheraton and associated luxury apartments at 27 Little Collins Street on the site of the former Naval & Military Club.

Point, from Natasha:
I'm a weird reader; I refuse to read anything—I mean, ANYTHING—about a book until it's in my hands. Only for series that have a new book coming out, I don't read about them. I steer clear of author websites, Goodreads, Amazon and I even go as far as not reading the back blurb on the book even when it's in my hand. If the previous book has a "Coming Soon" in it, I close the book and put it away. I don't want a sneak peek, damnit, I want the whole book! Stop teasing me with it, gimmie gimmie NOOOOW.
I like the surprise; I mean, I already know the character so why do I want to be teased with what's going to happen? I'd like to read it for myself and I don't want to spend months after reading a "Coming Soon" dying to know what the next chapter is.
This concept has served me well, but drives my fellow bloggers insane because I do the equivalent of plugging my ears and singing "La La La" when they push information on me. With Chloe Neill's Hard Bitten, I may have screamed at a fellow blogger to stop talking to me. She was tweeting to me about it, while I was reading it! I don't want to know how anyone felt about it!!! Leave me in the little bubble I have, please?
I was one of the lone few who held out and refused to even touch Karen Marie Moning's Dreamfever because I was told there was a cliffhanger ending. I waited until the week before Shadowfever came out to read it. That was a brilliant idea (if I do say so myself) because that was one hell of an ending.
I know I'm weird, but I like the element of surprise, and sometimes I feel the back blurbs give way too much information away. So I'll continue to be surprised, at least until someone else tries to tell me they can't believe what happened in So and So's book. Then you'll hear me yell.
Counterpoint, from Myretta:
Hi. My name is Myretta Robens and I'm an end-reader. People look askance when I admit this. Right, Natasha? And yet I am unrepentant. Don't get me wrong. I don't open a book and turn immediately to the final chapter. Good heavens, I'm not that crass. No, I'm more gentle than that. I start at the beginning, just as I should. I like beginnings. I like getting to know the characters. I want to learn if I'm going to like them and I want to see what kind of trouble they're going to get themselves into.
I'll read two or three chapters—sometimes more—and then, something dire will happen. The heroine will be abducted. The hero will be imprisoned. The hero and heroine will be separated by an evil uncle or they'll have a falling out and each go his/her own way. And I just can't stand it. Although I know they'll be together in the final chapter, I need to console myself. I need to take a little break from the tension and look ahead to happier times.
Sometimes, when there has been a lot of pre-publication discussion about a book (Yes, Natasha, I eat up all that pre-pub chat on a long-awaited book AND read the back cover blurb), I jump right to the end. I'm one of those people who read the epilogue to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before I even started the first chapter. I mean, I already knew these characters, had known them for years. Before I started the last book, I damn well wanted to know if Harry, Ron and Hermione were still going to be around at the end. So there!
So, while I guess I can understand those peculiar readers (*ahem*) who don't want to know anything before it happens, I'm afraid I can't relate. Give me the Happily Every After and give it to me as soon as possible.

Volume 8, Issue 2: Sharpening Iron
Dear Editors,
Thank you so much for the issue on "Eastern Orthodoxy" published last year. I downloaded
it from your home page on the Internet. Intellectuals in
Reformed circles will continue to feel the pull toward Constantinople/Alexandria/Antioch/Jerusalem,
and even toward Rome, and you have given us some very effective ammunition to
use as we attempt to warn the drifters toward such dangers.
I was also somewhat taken back by the letter to you requesting to be removed
from the list of subscribers because of "something in the tone [that] is wrong." I
think that the formerly enthusiastic reader has trouble with sarcasm as a literary
device of showing the absurdity of an argument. In any case, I appreciate your
content. The "tone" is a matter of taste and does not interfere with my enjoyment
of your publication . . . .

Dear Editors,
You need to realize that what you sincerely write is not true, only true in parts.

Dear Editors,
I've just gotten around to reading my Vol. 7, No. 6 of Credenda/Agenda . I want
to thank you for such an excellent article as "Recovering Cultural Soul." How true.
How convicting. How humbling to realize the great kindness of the Lord to allow
one to even see their colossal shortcomings. May the Lord continue to give you
the humility to prophetically write in such a way as to bring His Church to
true repentance which will usher in a great expectation of revival. Thanks, and
I trust that I have long ago foregone the so-called pleasure of throwing gospel
Keith Heck
Dear Editors,
Thank you for your publication. I look forward to each issue, as your articles
and topics always provide food for thought. . . . I believe that the "Reformed" theological
tradition and the Confession more closely embody the system of biblical truth
than any other.
However, as I reflect upon the writings of Calvin, Owen and other Puritans and
other "Reformed" or Calvinist authors and preachers, I find that their designations
were simply "biblical" or "orthodox." And when we in this tradition have added more
restrictive labels, our influence in the church and the world for the truth has
proportionately diminished.
Clyde Barer
Some Mailman
Dear Editors,
I read with interest Nancy Wilson's "Women in Ministry." While I agree with many
things she wrote, I believe that she is wrong when she says, "Is her identity
as a Christian woman centered around her relationship to her husband?" She then
says that if the answer is no, the woman is ministering independently of her
husband. First, the Scriptures teach that a woman's identity, just as a man's,
should be centered around the person of Christ. Therefore, women who center their
identities around their husbands are idolaters. Idolatry of a husband usually
causes the woman to vacillate between two extremesidolizing her husband or despising
him (when he does not live up to her expectations ). . . . [ This ] leaves
many wives of unbelievers in a somewhat hopeless state. Does she mean that a
woman married to an unbeliever has as her only ministry to serve her husband?
That would be a doubtful conclusion. Where does all this leave single women?

Dear Editors,
Jim Nance's column was a great blessing in Vol. 7, #6. . . . I wish all pieces
in C/A were as godly.

Editors' Response:
"Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself?" (Ecc.
7:16). Solomon addresses a very pervasive problem among serious Christians which
we call the "tight shoes" syndrome. The church has been stifled for the last two-hundred
years because of its departure from biblical authoritypietistic tradition has
no authority in determining anything, including what is silly or crude. The Bible
determines this, and not a Bible edited with a schoolmarm's scissors and library
paste. Humor is one of the most important weapons in any biblical arsenal. While
there are those who think we ought to get our theological skivvies in a knot
so that observers could interpret the look on our face as one of learned sanctity,
we don't see it. We do remember who we are "living for and before," and we are enjoying
it immensely. The kind of writing you desire can be found in various publications
throughout the Christian world, and we refer you to them. But we do find it odd
you could be edified by the Obituaries.
Dear Editors,
I just received my last issue of Credenda back from my neighborwho of course,
is a Pentacostal brother. Although he did not agree in whole with all of the
points made, he was impressed with the effectiveness of the arguments.
Most notably, he hasfinally!admitted the trouble with the charismatic view of
eternal security. This point is easily and clearly made in John 4. Christ tells
the Samaritan woman that when she drinks from the living water, she will never
thirst. How do our charismatic brothers reconcile that? Christ does not tell
her to go to the well again and again each time she feels
thirsty. Thank you again for your good work. I anxiously look forward to your
next issue.
John Gronewold
Portland, OR
Dear Editors,
I was astounded by the comments of your book reviewer, in response to my book
Making Shipwreck of the Faith: Evangelicals and Roman Catholics Together (8:1,
p. 31). The reviewer refers to a footnote in which I wrote, "if both Rome and
evangelicals have corrupted the gospel, why should either group be regarded as
a true Christian church?" Your reviewer then asserts that I failed to grasp "the
classic Protestant distinction between a corrupt church and an apostate church," along
with the duty to reform within the former, while separating from the
Regarding "classic Protestant" distinctions, I would direct you to the following
creeds: The Confession of the English Congregation at Geneva (1556); the French
Confession of Faith (1559), articles 26-28; the Scottish Confession of Faith (1560),
chapters 16 and 18; the Belgic Confession of Faith (1561), articles 27-29; the
Second Helvetic Confession (1566), chapter 17. These Protestant confessions
uniformly regard the marks of the church to be the true preaching of the gospel,
the right administration of the sacraments, and the practice of church discipline.
In delineating these marks, the creeds often speak pastorally; they provide guidance
for Christians who are confused by the rival assertions of aberrant religious
assemblies which claim to be churches of Christ.
Kevin Reed
Dallas, TX
Douglas Wilson responds:
Let me say again how much I enjoyed the book, and assure any readers just joining
us that they should be sure to read it.
Dear Editors,
We applaud your efforts in reformed classicism, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps
it's the entertaining critique of evangelical syncretism with modern culture,
but I must admit confusion as to why Homer or Virgil's brand of paganism is to
be preferred to modern paganism. There is some beauty in both but hell to pay
in either direction.
Randy George
Maybe the U.S.?
Dear Editors,
Let me begin by saying, I eagerly await every issue of your magazine. I may not
always agree with everything, but you usually do an excellent (not to mention,
refreshingly intelligent) job. . . . In regards to your issue Charismatic
cul de sac , I felt this is probably the weakest issue of your magazine I have
seen. While I do agree with much of what you said ( i.e ., the improperness of
the commanding prayers for healing and the unbiblical condition of fallible prophecy),
and commend you for pointing out errors in conduct, I also felt that the issue
lacked a considerable amount of your usual objectivity within the light of Scripture.
. . . Douglas Jones writes "If genuine tongue speaking were existent today, it
would be supernatural manifestations of French, Swahili, Portugese, and other
known languages." I would like to point out that 1 Cor 13:1 says, "If I speak
in the tongues of men and angels." It seems a bit presumptuous of Mr. Jones to
say that the "charismatic mixture of odd sounds" could not possibly be the tongues
of angels.
Lex Thompson
Sarasota, FL
Douglas Jones replies: Thanks for your note. But if we use Scripture to try to fill out the content
of "tongues of angels," it always shows us angels speaking in known languages.
To get the charismatic conclusion, we have to import something from outside of
Scripture. But even if we force angels to speak in ways they never speak in Scripture,
isn't it odd that today's "tongues" would then resemble not the predominate known-language
model of Scripture but the hidden, obscure model? Why has "tongues" changed so
drastically since New Testament times?

Sunday is Easter, when Jesus allegedly rose from the dead. (I'm Jewish, so I have my doubts.)
At many college newspapers, the end of April is also editor selection season – when the careers of a few student journalists are similarly resurrected.
Melodramatic? Sacrilegious? Maybe. But here are some stats that should put the fear of God in you…
Only 46 percent of journalism grads will find media work right out of school, and 10 percent of them won't even land a single job interview, MediaBistro reported last summer.
Yet every year, a couple of students get media jobs after getting their diplomas from the mediocre university where I advise the weekly newspaper. What's so special about them? They served as editor of that newspaper.
Even so, there's never much competition for our top spot. It's the same around the country. Whenever I chat with my fellow advisers, they're always fretting about their staff's apathy – or even antipathy – toward seeking the editorship.
"Why doesn't anyone want to be in charge anymore!?" one of them emailed me last year. "What's wrong with students today?"
My answer: "Nothing's wrong with them today that wasn't wrong with them yesterday."
Being the editor has always been a bitch – a full-time job for part-time pay, the staff challenging your authority at every turn, and readers blaming you for any mistake they find in the paper. And you still have to go to class.
In fact, the job is tougher today than when I was a college editor back in the 1980s. Tuition seems to rise daily like the sun, the classes you need to graduate are scheduled as often as your birthday, and now there's a daily website on top of a print edition.
But if you want a media career, you should do it anyway. Here are five good reasons, although you can probably guess only the first one…
1. It's one hell of a resume line.
Most student newspapers elect editors only once or twice a year. So it's a title that instantly separates you from the thousands of other j-school grads who flood the job market every December and June. (See 7 mistakes that doom a college journalist's resume.)
It doesn't even matter if you were a good editor or the worst one in your paper's history. Because…
2. You win even if you suck.
Some student journalists don't run for editor because they're afraid they'll screw up and scar their career. What a crock.
Unless you burned the newsroom to the ground or got yourself sued in a high-profile libel case, only the hiring editors at the media outlet within spitting distance of your campus will be even vaguely aware of the actual job you did.
And even then, they won't give a crap.
Remember, you work at a student newspaper. You go there to learn how to write, edit, shoot, design – and lead. No one expects you to channel Ben Bradlee, H.L. Mencken, and Jonah Jameson. (Google the first two; the third is the editor from Spider-Man.)
In your job interview, if you're asked about being editor, say this: "It was the hardest job I've had so far in my short life, and I made some big mistakes." If the hiring editor silently leans forward a little bit, explain your blunders in all their gory details. You'll probably get the job.
Why? Because you're not going to be hired as a senior editor right out of school – you'll be handed entry-level work, not a staff to supervise. So if your clips are strong, your editorship matters only for what you learned, not for the quality of the work you did.
Speaking of job interviews…
3. You'll ace every job interview for the rest of your life.
Most student newspapers hold public interviews for editor. (Some private universities do this behind closed doors, which smacks of hypocrisy. Since when do journalists demand openness from everyone but themselves?)
Just contemplating the interview process is enough to scare off some students. At the paper I advise, I hear this all the time: "I don't want to put myself through that."
But the more brutal the interview, the better – for you and everyone else.
In the mid-'80s, I was editor of The Alligator, the University of Florida's student newspaper and still the largest by circulation. I ran for editor four times, losing twice before winning twice. Each time was edifying and terrifying.
While I'm not sure how much it's been sanitized since, back then an Alligator editor selection was a public spectacle – only a tad less bloody than the ancient Romans in the Coliseum feeding Christians to the lions.
You're sitting in front of 30 staff members and a selection panel that includes the chairman of the journalism department, a professional adult, the current editor, and a grad student and undergrad student who aren't journalists at all.
If you answer a question lamely, you get called out in front of everyone.
"What would you do to increase diversity in the newsroom?"
"Well, diversity is really important and –"
"Yes, and crime is bad. Just answer the question, please."
"Well, I'd talk to minority groups and recruit –"
"Which minority groups?"
"Uh, all of them."
"You don't really have any fresh ideas, do you?"
"Uh, I guess not."
For 12 years, I advised the University Press, the student newspaper at Florida Atlantic University, and I mimicked The Alligator editor selection as best I could.
But Student Affairs deemed it "emotional terrorism" and last year changed it to the standard, boring Student Government-like selection process – you know the kind, where the toughest question is, "What's your definition of leadership?"
Problem is, no real-world job interview operates like an SG interview. To be fair, none are as bloodthirsty as an Alligator selection, either. But which one better prepares you?
Since 1987, I've never feared a job interview. I hear all the time from UP editors who tell me the same. My favorite story: In 2008, a former editor named Jake applied to work at PETA in Washington, D.C. The interview lasted all day, with different configurations of bosses and employees peppering him with questions and scenarios. I asked him how it went.
"A breeze."
"It reminded me of editor selection, and I just drew on that experience. No problem."
He got the job.
Jake later emailed me…
Running for editor prepared me for every job interview, blind date and social confrontation I've ever walked into. I have actually been surprised at how calm I am when being interviewed for a new job. The tedious process of being grilled for an hour and having every editorial flaw you have committed shoved in your face makes the awkward handshaking with a potential employer out to be a nice day at the beach.
One last point: If I've convinced you that running for editor is good for your future, let me now reassure it's even better for your present. Because if you survive a rigorous editor selection, you'll instantly command the staff's respect.
Let's face it, being editor sucks when you suddenly oversee a bunch of your peers. It's no problem exerting your authority over newbies who stroll into the newsroom after you're elected editor. As far as they're concerned, you've always been the editor.
But what about the staffers who went drinking with you last weekend and saw you throw up on your car? Even the Army moves a new officer out of his unit, because it realizes you can't lead people who remember you as just a soldier.
No such luck at a student newspaper. You don't get transferred from FAU to Medill.
But if you endure a trial by fire like an editor selection – one that your peers maintain, "I don't want to put myself through that" – you've earned their loyalty as a leader.
In fact, the FAU staff I advise so relishes the "emotional terrorism" of our old editor selection that we're still doing it – it just doesn't count.
On Friday, three candidates are running in our "fake editor selection." They and the staff asked me to do this, because they all see the greedy value in it, Student Affairs be damned.
Which leads me to this…
4. You'll embrace the Dark Side.
Most hiring editors I know – and I was one myself – feel a little more comfortable around a young journalist who's sat in the big chair. We figure you've confronted, at least for a semester, some of the same problems and crappy attitudes we do every day.
That's because employees who have never run anything bigger than their own lives tend to be self-centered. They also hate their bosses for decisions they don't remotely understand. It's even worse with journalists, who are notoriously hyper-sensitive.
For instance, reporters feel slighted if their editor doesn't recall the details of a pointless, protracted conversation they had two days ago – even though that editor has a staff of 12 time-sucking prima donnas doing the same insipid thing.
But you've been there before, and being the boss can make you a better employee. In this case, you might be a tad more forgiving and understanding of your editor's burden. And speaking of burdens…
5. You'll learn some serious shit no professor can teach you.
Being editor of your student newspaper is the first time you'll ever be in charge of something substantial without an adult wielding veto power.
At FAU, that means you oversee an $80,000 budget. You hire the staff. And if any adults try to fuck with your freedom of the press, you call other adults who defend you (like the UP editor did last year).
This is heady stuff, and you'll learn through osmosis some really big Life Lessons…
1. Delegate or die. Up until now, you've kicked ass by doing instead of delegating. Group project for a class? You picked up the slack for the losers who did nothing. Waiting tables for collective tips? You out-hustled everyone for your share. But a student newspaper has too many moving parts to handle deftly by yourself. You've always harshly judged those who don't work like you do, but now you're forced to train and motivate them. You'll become more compassionate, or you'll fail.
2. Dish it out and take it. Nothing makes you appreciate presidents Bush and Obama quite like being editor. No one ever tells an editor, "Thanks for all you do." And if anything goes wrong in the paper or in the newsroom, you'll get blamed even if you had nothing to do with it. You'll become a lot more nuanced about your criticism of others after you've faced unfounded criticism yourself.
3. Save some or none at all. Being in charge means doing your best with scarce resources. Ever heard of the word "triage"? It's a military term meaning to save as many wounded soldiers as you can – by letting the worst-hurt die. Likewise, you have neither the time nor money to save your entire newspaper. Some sections and some staffers will perish so you can excel where you deem best for your readers. It's easy to rip leaders who make such tough calls. It's hard to be the one making them – and explaining them.
4. Size doesn't matter, decisions do. As editor of a large student daily and now an adviser at a small student weekly, I can tell you this: It's better to be the editor at a crappy newspaper than a reporter at an award-winning newspaper. You'll learn more about journalism and life being big in a small pond than being small in a big pond. And you'll be forever skeptical of artifice – if someone tells you they graduated from Harvard (as my grandfather did) you won't assume they're a genius (my grandfather sure wasn't). You'll judge them on what they do, not on who they are.
6. If it doesn't kill you, it makes you.
Surviving a term as college editor is like surviving cancer. As someone who's done both, I can tell you: You'll no longer sweat the small stuff. You'll become just a little bit braver about your decisions and a little bit bolder about your journalism.
Winston Churchill once said, "There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without incident." He would've made an excellent college newspaper editor.

Undefeated New Mexico-bred Peppers Pride, on the verge of tying the record of 16 consecutive victories held jointly by Citation, Cigar, Mister Frisky, and Hallowed Dreams, is set to make her next start April 26 at SunRay Park and Casino in Farmington, NM.
Trainer Joel Marr said he and Joe Allen, the 5-year-old mare's owner and breeder, plan to run the undisputed queen of New Mexico racing in the $75,000 Russell & Helen Foutz Distaff Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs. Peppers Pride won her 15th successive race at Sunland Park March 23.
"It's been something really special," Marr, 40, said April 11 of the streak.
Marr reported Peppers Pride "is doing really good" since her last win, the $100,000 Sydney Valentini Handicap over state-breds at a mile, which was her first start in more than three months. Marr said Allen "is getting pretty nervous" as the record approaches while the trainer has been able to maintain an even approach. "He's a little more excitable than I am," he explained.
All of Peppers Pride's wins, including 11 stakes victories, have come against horses bred in the Land of Enchantment. Marr makes no apologies to those who would prefer to see her step up to a bigger stage to equal the record. Should she win at SunRay, the dark bay or brown daughter of Desert God would likely remain in New Mexico for a shot at breaking the mark this summer at Ruidoso Downs or Zia Park.
"This is what she was bred to do, to race against New Mexico horses," Marr said, noting the lucrative breeder incentives and top purses due to slot machine revenue at the state's racetracks. "There's no reason to take her anyplace else. The idea was to race her in New Mexico, win races and to have some fun."
It is hard to fault the $816,665 in earnings she has amassed so far, either.
"It bothers you a little bit," Marr said of the criticism that Peppers Pride needs to prove she belongs in the same class as the others. "But those people are wanting something that's not going to happen.
"We know we couldn't beat those horses," he said in reference to Cigar and Citation. "But Hallowed Dreams couldn't either, and Mister Frisky probably couldn't. That doesn't take away from what they did. I know we're not in the caliber of horses racing at Keeneland and Churchill and some of these other tracks. But this is horse racing and to accomplish what she has isn't easy."
The streak, Marr said, has always been secondary. "She's had some close races and she's been extremely lucky a couple of times. She won a race by a nose in a head-bob at Zia (in 2006). She loses that and we're not even talking about this. If she were to quit tomorrow, with all that she's done, well, that would be great."
Marr credited jockey Carlos Madeira, who has ridden her in all of her starts, with keeping Peppers Pride out of trouble and for not getting to the lead too soon in her races, as she tends to ease up when she's in front. He also notes she has a routine that she's comfortable and familiar with. The mare not only has had the same owner, trainer and jockey throughout her career, but also the same farrier and groom.
"I think that's gotta' be part of it," he said. "We all know what she needs and we take care of her."
At Sunland, where she is presently stabled, Peppers Pride occupies the same stall she has had for the past two years. She still wears the same bridle she started with during the summer of 2005 and Marr has never made any sort of equipment change with her.
She's easy to deal with around the barn, he said, but all business on the track. "There's something special about her that keeps her winning," Marr said. "She becomes very focused when she knows it's time (to race). She's ready to do it. And she loves to train. She'd train hard every day if she could. She becomes very aggressive on the racetrack."
Peppers Pride usually prefers to race from slightly off the pace and make her bid on the final turn. She has prevailed in the stretch drive every time, once by as little as a nose and twice by a neck, up to as many as seven lengths. Marr thinks Peppers Pride's best distance is a mile (three-for-three in her career), but since there aren't that many stakes opportunities in the New Mexico distaff division at that distance, most of her races have been sprints.
"It always worries me a little bit," he said of the possibility Peppers Pride could fall victim to racing luck while sprinting and not be able to recover. "She has speed but she's not a speedster. I personally think that the longer (the distance), the better."
Peppers Pride has been favored in 10 of her starts and odds-on in eight of those. At SunRay, a six-furlong track, she'll likely be a heavy choice once again while going for the record-tying win around two turns.
She began her career in a 5 1/2-furlong trial race at Ruidoso July 16, 2005, winning by 4 1/2 lengths. Two starts later, she and her full sister, Desert Pride, both won stakes during the New Mexico Cup at Zia in November 2005. Peppers Pride won the New Mexico Juvenile Filly that day while Desert Pride, a year older than her sibling, captured the New Mexico Filly Stakes.
Peppers Pride is out of the Chilli Pepper Pie mare Lady Pepper (1987), who died a couple of years ago, Marr said. A four-time winner in 49 lifetime starts, the dam produced four foals. Desert Pride, a winner of three of 14 races and $102,260, is also deceased.
Allen, along with his brother Ronald, also owns the sire, Desert God, who is a son of Fappiano out of the 1982 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Blush With Pride.

Blair attends memorial service for Iraq hostage
Page Tools
British Prime Minister Tony Blair attended a memorial service for Kenneth Bigley, the British hostage who was beheaded by Iraqi militants last month.
Mr Blair, who flew to Bigley's home town of Liverpool yesterday after meeting US President George Bush in Washington, attended at the request of the murdered engineer's relatives, aides said.
Mr Bigley's death prompted renewed anti-war feeling in Britain and underscored Mr Blair's vulnerability on Iraq after months of criticism from the public and his own ruling Labour Party over backing Mr Bush.
Although Mr Bigley's brother Paul accused the prime minister of having "blood on his hands" after the execution, other family members publicly declared they believed the government had done all it could to secure his release.
The government revealed after Mr Bigley's death that it had opened contacts with the kidnappers in the days before his execution.
Both Muslim and Christian leaders took part in Mr Bigley's memorial ceremony at the city's Anglican cathedral.
"It will be a time of celebration as well as a time of memorial because it is a celebration of Ken Bigley's life," a spokesman for the Diocese of Liverpool in northern England said before the ceremony.
Mr Bigley, 62, was beheaded on October 7 after being held hostage for three weeks by militants in Iraq, where he worked as an engineer.
His wife Sombat and mother Lil attended the service.
Scores of foreigners and Iraqis have been seized by Islamic militant groups and criminal gangs. More than 35 hostages foreign hostages have been killed, several by beheading.

Bonding tour includes look at proposed extension of Glacial Lakes Trail
NEW LONDON — A proposal to extend the Glacial Lakes Recreational Trail from New London to Sibley State Park appears to be gaining traction.
Eight members of the Senate Capital Investment Committee toured the route Friday as part of a three-day fact-finding excursion to learn about community proposals for inclusion in the 2014 bonding bill.
Committee Chairman LeRoy Stumpf, DFL-Plummer, said the five-mile extension of the biking and hiking trail is on the list of projects the state Department of Natural Resources is recommending, which he said is a "big step" in the process.
"That's a hurdle that you don't have to cross," said Stumpf, adding that the Legislature had also funded the Glacial Lakes Trail project in 2010 but it was victim to then-Gov. Tim Pawlenty's line-item veto.
"It's a project that we've supported before," said Stumpf. "It's a beautiful part of the state and a lot of people come here to appreciate that beauty, so it's certainly worthy of the funding the state has put in before and hopefully will again."
Those kinds of comments are creating optimism.
"I have a good feeling about it," said Jeremy Losinski, area supervisor for the DNR parks and trails in Spicer.
Losinski said the project has been community-driven and has the wide support of local elected officials, outdoor groups and landowners along the proposed route.
"It's a community effort to have this trail," said Losinski.
He said extending the trail would promote health, safety, education and economic vitality. "There are a lot of positives."
The proposal includes branching off of the existing trail in New London, going through New London-Spicer School District property and then alongside Kandiyohi County Road 40 west of New London.
According to Losinski, the 10-foot-wide paved trail would be located on the south side of County Road 40, either in the ditch or farther away from the road right of way. It would not be on the shoulder of the road.
The route was selected because it would cause the least amount of impact to residents and wetlands, he said, as well as provide safety to the people who would use the trail. "We wanted to get the user off the shoulder of the road."
The plan also includes purchasing a parcel of land along County Road 40 that will allow a segment of the trail to snake through wetlands and woods before going underneath U.S. Highway 71 in a box culvert. That will allow bikers and pedestrians safe access to the other side of a very busy highway, said Losinski.
The underpass would go kitty-corner under the intersection of Highway 71 and County Road 40.
Crossing Highway 71 and bringing the trail to Sibley Park also hinges on the potential purchase of an additional 153 acres of land along Highway 71 that abuts the park.
Negotiations are taking place with the landowners for the purchase of that property. That purchase would be separate from the bonding request for the trail project, said Losinski. "But it's a very important piece of the trail," he said.
Stumpf said in order for the project to meet funding standards for the bonding bill, he and other legislators will want to see how the proposed trail extension connects to other parts of the trail network and how it would be used.
He said Sibley State Park is a "hidden treasure" in central Minnesota and linking the park to the rest of the community with a recreational trail could enhance the experience of park visitors and residents here.
Sibley is one of the top 10 state parks in Minnesota for annual usage, said Losinski.
The committee on Friday also toured the Kandiyohi Area Transit in Willmar to review a request for additional garage space. Stumpf said he was impressed with KAT's growth and ability to address transit needs in the community. Unless the growing number of senior citizens have access to transportation so that they can stay at home, rural Minnesota communities "will dwindle and the populations will go down," said Stumpf. "It's a huge challenge for Greater Minnesota."
Stumpf said rural transit is important and seeing the success of KAT is "really inspiring."
Members of the House bonding committee will be in Willmar on Nov. 7 at Ridgewater College, where they will also hear about the local projects.
