First the news. Girardi still out. Same lineup as last night, only with Lundqvist in goal. Just saw one of the good guys in the game, Radek Dvorak.
Back with Tortorella quotes soon.
John Tortorella:
On Girardi (who showed no improvement and is out tonight).
"He'll be ready to play after the break."
On whether the team changed tactics in OT from last year to this year:
"We're trying to be more aggressive, yeah. We're trying to forecheck more aggressively 4-on-4. Again, we just haven't had a whole bunch of practice time. We did quite a bit of that when the season started. We worked on our zone coverage 4-on-4. But definitely, we're trying to be up the ice more 4-on-4, although we weren't last night. I thought we were on our heels in the overtime last night. But we're trying to be more aggressive and trying to score a goal 4-on-4.
"I think our mindset was different (last year). We have a much more aggressive mindset as a hockey club right now, a more confident mindset, starting at the beginning of this year. And I think the personnel has something to do with that. So, no, that's a big part of what happened last year — our shootouts and our 4-on-4 play."
Does having Wolski and Zuccarello change the thinking, that he wouldn't mind going to shootouts?
"No — Hank plays a lot of the games, and I think we have a pretty good goalie as far as the shootout, so we have talked from Day 1 that we don't want to sit back, but we don't want to be stupid either. We don't want to give up a goal by being stupid, because we have a pretty good goalie. So it's kind of a little bit of both. It's certainly not sitting back, because we're trying to win the game (in OT) but just don't be stupid."
On Grachev's first game back:
"Yeah, he skated better last night. I thought his first period was pretty good. He was more on the puck. It's something we've asked him to work at. The next step is, what's next? We've got to figure out if there's going to be some offense there. Again, there wasn't much … I think he only played nine minutes or so. So I think he's listening as far as what we're looking for him to do. I thought he did a better job in protecting the puck, but it stops there. We need him to get something else."
On where he plays, or other lines:
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm still fighting in my mind what I'm going to do with lines."
Stan Fischler asked him "when do you decide?"
Tortorella laughed and said, "Yeah, I might wait until the puck drops." Then jokingly told him to get lost, but in a more colorful tone. All in fun.
On what makes this team so resilient:
"I just think that we have tried to, from after last year, throughout the summer, in communications and as camp started, we tried to create an identity in how we were going to play. I think they have done that. I think they've had some success through adversity, through injuries, or being down in a period, or whatever it may be. And I think they're confident. Again, it's a comfortable feeling — I shouldn't say comfortable; you don't want to be down going into the third period — but I don't think it affects the hockey club right now. We're not going to win them all. We might be down by one in the third period and lose games by three. But I think the team understands how it has to handle itself and having success, I think that grows on them. So I give them a lot of credit. They've battled through this here and hung together, and the most important thing as we've gone through the first almost three-quarters of the season here, they've played really well as a team. The lines have been moved around a little bit through injuries, people have played with a lot of different people. but I think we've played pretty good as a team."
On being deeper:
"I think the guys that have come up from the minor-league team have done the job. I think it starts with the program down there. I think they're very well coached. I think they're very well conditioned, and I always say that because they step right in here and are able to play at maybe a little bit higher level as far as speed. Through all this here, through all the injuries we've had, this is going to help the organization in the long term. It certainly gives us the chance to look at more people than we thought we would be at this time. And it certainly gives them more experience quicker than we thought they'd get, as we continue to build the hockey club."
On the last game before the break:
"I'm not worried about effort. I just don't want us to exhale here. I think it's a team that needs a break through some of the stuff that we've gone through. This is our fifth game in seven nights. It's certainly not an excuse; teams go through stretches like this. We've handled ourselves well. We need to handle ourselves well for another five or six hours here and try to get the result we need to get before we leave."
I asked him if, given the number of holes he's had to fill and the results the team has gotten have surprised him:
"Yeah, a little bit, because I didn't know some of the kids. Kolarik, I didn't know him. Brodie Dupont, although he's only played one game, I think he did his job for the five or six minutes he played the first time. Weise came in and did his job. Newbury has done his job. Zuccarello, I mean, we weren't sure if he was ready. And it's an interesting thing. You sit down there and talk to the minor-league coaches: 'Is he ready?' 'I'm not sure.' You know what? Sometimes you're forced to try to find out through injuries and it's answered for you. And he certainly has handled himself very well.
"Surprised? Yeah. Yeah. We just didn't expect for this to be put upon us right away. We thought they were going to play for longer down there. So it's funny how it works, how guys get their opportunities to play."
Asked if last year's team would have won the last two games:
"I don't want to go back to last year. We have different personnel this year. I think we have a different mindset this year. I think the youth of our team has grown up another year, have become part of the leadership of our club. So, I don't want to put one against the other. I just know, and I told you guys from the get-go in camp, I just felt that this group was more together, and that's maturity and a couple of changes here and there. And the biggest thing is we kept our kids. We kept our kids. The greatest thing Glen has done from the end of last year to where we are right now is we still have our kids and we're growing with them."
Will he send some of the rookies back to the AHL during the six-day break.
"Probably. We're going to meet on that tonight. We certainly want some of the guys going back down there. … There will be guys going down. I'm not sure. It depends on how we get through tonight's game. I just hope none of the guys we hope to go and keep playing get hurt tonight. The way it's been going with us you never know."
Asked if he wonders how this team will look when it gets 90 percent healthy:
"Well, I hope to find out. I don't wonder. I'm hoping to find out, to get some of these guys back. I think after the break, I think within a short period there after we start playing again, we'll see if we can continue to try to get healthy and get some of these guys back. It's not wondering, it's hoping that we have an opportunity for some of these guys to get back in and play."
On whether Callahan and Christensen should be the first two back:
"I think Cally will be the first one. Never count out Dubi. I think if there's one guy who's really close, it's Cally. Other than that, I'm not sure."
Is Callahan still on track to play Feb. 1 vs. Pittsburgh?
"I think so. As of right now, I think so. Yes. Unless he has a setback. He's going to train during the break, as all of them will. But I think he's the closest one. I think he's eyeballing that one."
On Del Zotto's first game back:
"He played pretty good. You can see he certainly helps our power play as far as puck movement. Again, he hasn't produced this year on our power play, but the struggles that we do have trying to develop some point men, you can see that the one power play that him and (Gilroy) were on, we used the width of the ice and we had good puck movement by Michael. I thought he concentrated on some of the things that we've asked him to. And he didn't do anything great, but he certainly played within himself and I think that's a good step."

NEWTOWN, Conn. - There are no classes Monday at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., and officials aren't sure if the school will ever reopen.
Three days after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults there, the school district is making plans to send surviving students to a former school building in a neighboring town.
The first funerals are planned Monday for two of the children who were killed -- six-year-olds Jack Pinto and Noah Pozner. Others are scheduled for later in the week.
Pinto may be laid to rest in his New York Giants uniform. He was a fan of wide receiver Victor Cruz, who wore a tribute to the little boy on his shoe Sunday during their game against Atlanta.
The President went to Newtown Sunday night to share the small town's suffering. He shed tears with grieving families and promised to try to prevent future school shootings, so the victim's deaths would not be in vain.
Federal agents are continuing to investigate the recent activities of the shooter, Adam Lanza, who took his own life as police moved in on a classroom where he was killing children using a high-powered rifle.
They've concluded that he had visited an area shooting range, but they don't know whether he actually practiced shooting there.

Delaware, being a small state, doesn't have many BBQ spots. One place that just opened in the southern resort area, is in Bethany Beach, about 5 minutes north of Ocean City, MD. The place is called Bethany Blues, and I had the pleasure of dining there a few weeks ago. They have ribs, chicken, brisket, sausage, and a variety of great sides. I have never tried brisket so I decided on that, and let me tell you, it was awesome! The ribs were great too, I stole a few from my girls friends plate. They have like 4 different BBQ sauces, and one that i really liked was a papaya sauce, which was served with smoked scallops, an appetizer, that was outstanding. I really liked the atmosphere too, it was quite cozy.
We stayed a few blocks from this place, and when I went out for my morning coffee and paper, I could smell the meat cooking in the smokers. That's when I decided on where we were going for dinner.

The fantastic weather on Saturday was just a bonus as almost 200 Brownies and their leaders from having the time of their lives at Nell Bank outdoor activity centre.
The day, earlier this month, opened with a hilarious rendition by the Nell Bank staff wishing the brownies a very happy Centenary Birthday - the response just about lifted the roof.
After a brief introduction to the staff members and a run through the ground rules, the Brownies were sent off in groups to take part in eight different activities throughout the day.
Organisers said it was incredible to see how an amorphous group of 7–10 year olds could organise themselves in team activities -
the enterprising amongst them soon had teams working to fill holey downpipes to release trapped ducklings, groups emerged in perfect synchronisation to cross a toxic ice floe to save endangered frogs and bears, and an introduction to orienteering was tackled with relish.
Pond dipping was especially enjoyed and the squeals of disgust at a close encounter with a leech or a dragon fly nymph were spine chilling.
Brownies were also delighted when a newly emerged dragon fly took its first flight right in front of them.
The activities which were for pure fun were equally enjoyed such as sliding down the fireman's pole and crawling through black hole tunnels.
To invite brownies to explore the possibilities of water with an Archimedes screw and a seemingly endless supply of running water, buckets and giant syringes was to place yourself in danger of getting as wet as they did.
A highly successful day ended with the Brownies renewing their Brownie Promise and awards being made to those girls who had shown consideration for others and who had taken part all day with total commitment.

Offense erupts, but Workman, bullpen falter in loss
Betts belts first career HR; righty gives up six runs over four innings
BOSTON -- It was a sticky summer night, one suited for the type of offensive outburst that has been sorely lacking for the Red Sox this season.
So it just figures that when the bats put it into high gear, the pitching staff had a rare off-night in a 16-9 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
This was not the way the Red Sox were looking to start a 10-game homestand, getting swept by the Cubs.
As a team, the 38-47 Red Sox are struggling, and they are nine games under .500 for the first time since May 25.
Perhaps Thursday's off-day will come at a good time, giving the club a chance to regroup heading into a July 4 matinee against the Orioles.
"Bigger picture is, we're still confident in our guys," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "This is a one-game situation where from the mound, it got away from us. Yet at the same time, we still have confidence in the guys in our clubhouse. We feel like we do, and have done, a very good job overall from the mound.
"So from a bigger picture aspect, I think there's very good pitching and defense inside our building right now. And yet we've got to continue to look to lengthen out our lineup."
Brandon Workman helped the Cubs lengthen out their lineup, producing his first subpar start of the season. The righty was tagged for five hits and six runs over four innings, and the offense never could quite battle all the way back.
"I just wasn't locating the fastball very well at all tonight," said Workman. "My pitches were up high. I walked a couple guys in the first inning. I left some balls up over the plate they hit well. I just wasn't sharp tonight."
The highlight of the night for the Red Sox was Mookie Betts hitting his first career homer, a three-run shot into the Monster Seats in the fifth. It was the second hit in the young career of Betts, and first at Fenway.
There was no home-run trot for Betts. Instead, it was a sprint.
"I don't think I'm a home run hitter, so anytime I hit it, I'm going to take off sprinting," said Betts. "When I touched home plate, I think I startled A.J. [Pierzynski] because as soon as I turned around, he was right there. He started laughing about that."
And in the strangest coincidence of the night, the fan who caught the home run by Betts is someone he played against during their high school days in Tennessee.
"He said as soon as he got it, he wanted to find a way to get it to me," Betts said. "I really appreciated that. It was really weird."
David Ortiz added two doubles, the first of which was the 1,000th extra-base hit of his career. Big Papi is the 36th player in MLB history to reach that mark, and the only active left-handed hitter to have a four-digit total in that column.
The night was bad for Workman from the start. He opened the game by walking Chris Coghlan , then gave up a two-run homer to left by Justin Ruggiano. Anthony Rizzo walked, stole second and scored on a single up the middle by Starlin Castro. Just like that, the Red Sox were down 3-0 before even taking a swing.
Boston made some noise in the third. Dustin Pedroia led off with a double and Ortiz ripped a ground-rule double to right to set up runners on second and third with nobody out. Jonny Gomes got a run home on a sacrifice fly to center.
Again, Workman faltered in the fourth. A leadoff walk to Welington Castillo got the inning off to an inauspicious start. Mike Olt hammered a two-run homer to center. Darwin Barney came up next and smashed a triple to center. Coglan's sacrifice fly made it a 6-1 game.
"Yeah, breaking ball that stayed up to Olt for the two-run homer, and it was just inconsistency with locating in the bottom of the zone. On an unforgiving night, things got away from us," said Farrell.
Once Workman departed, the bullpen took a pretty sound beating. Felix Doubront was tagged for four hits and three runs over 1 1/3 innings. The slumping Craig Breslow gave up four hits and four runs over two-thirds of an inning.
And trusted setup man Junichi Tazawa, whom Farrell really didn't want to have to use in a mopup role, gave up three hits and two runs while recording just one out.
"I mean, I didn't really set a good tone coming out," said Workman. "Three runs in the first gets them in a swinging mindset. They start feeling good about themselves. I got their bats warmed up for the bullpen and put some guys in bad spots."
The Red Sox will try to start the quest of getting back on track Friday.
"It comes at a good time," Farrell said of Thursday's off-day. "The quicker we can put this one tonight behind us, the better."

l am using backtrack3 and l can crack the paswords of wep,so l need ask the question "How can l restart the modems with backtrack_? is there and command about that?"
l couldent touch the modem coz its not mine but l must restart it for can use its connection now l couldent if you can help me l can be thankfull.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Sounds To me you should re-read the rules. Ie illegal activities not condoned here. If its not yours you shouldn't mess with it.
I'm not tryinig To be harsh, just trying to make a point.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I can't understand why the router needs to be restarted. Can someone guess anything?
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
Reset really has 2 meanings, it could mean a simple reboot, or a complete default reset. If its the default reset then yes it reverts to default unam / pass. If he wants a simple reboot he could have injected something with a sploit that needs to be loaded at power_on. If thats the case i HIGHLY doubt he would be posting this here, especially with the way the question was formatted.
Just so you know both can be done remotely and its fairly easy to accomplish once you know what your doing, there is something posted in the How-To section thats directly related to it. It does depend on the model and firmware tho.
It should be noted aswell that lol he didn't ask for the router to be reset he asked for the modem ... and that happens to be pretty much useless unless he is planning a DOS and personally i haven't heard or seen of many sploits for cable / dsl modems but correct me if im wrong.
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
@ vvpalin
Yeah I know I didn't express myself clearly but I knew you'd get what I was implying .
And for the OP - I'm done trying to comprehend what it is you're actually trying to do.
If you're trying to do something illegal you're sure to end up on the wrong side of the stick!

FAKE Woolworths, Coles and Harvey Norman gift vouchers are circulating on Facebook in what retailers warn is a scam designed to collect personal information.
The $400 or $500 vouchers have spread quickly because of what appears to be endorsement from Facebook friends. Complicating matters is the fact the retailers often have real gift voucher competitions running on their official pages.
"Please be aware there are some possible email, survey, website and Facebook scams currently circulating using the Woolworths name and logo," a Woolworths spokesman said on Tuesday.
"These 'phishing' scams illegally imitate well-known brands to try to collect customers' personal information."
The scams direct people to a website, for instance Woolworthsfree.net or harveynorman.org, offering free gift vouchers to those who follow three "simple steps".
The site has a counter that appears to show the vouchers rapidly running out in real time, "thank you" comments from what appear to be real Facebook users and a section claiming more than 6 million people have ''liked'' the page so far.
Software architect Troy Hunt, who uncovers online scams on his blog, wrote that the "sense of urgency", apparent popularity and air of authenticity attracts unsuspecting victims. He said he had analysed the code line by line and all of it was fake.
He said he believed the scammer was located in Albania and this meant it was difficult for authorities to tackle the scam.
"People in Australia being scammed by a guy in Albania using a server hosted in Germany. Who do the cops speak to?" Mr Hunt wrote.
"My experience talking with the authorities about the call-centre scammers shows that things like this just get filed away in the 'too-hard' basket."

Menston and Burley-in-Wharfedale MP Philip Davies has slammed as "despicable" death threats received by front-line staff who decide if people claiming sick benefits are actually fit to work.
He said there was no justification for threatening the workers at Atos, the company charged with carrying out the work-capability assessments.
The contract with Atos was due to run until 2015 but bosses say they want to withdraw, given the threats their staff are receiving.
Mr Davies said in the Commons: "Would the minister agree with me that whatever the problems Atos and the problem of the contract agreed by the last Labour government, there is never any justification for violence or threats of violence against frontline staff, whether they are nurses, doctors, teachers or, in this case, Atos staff?"
Atos Healthcare has been accused of making unfair decisions and last summer a government report found its assessors were of "unacceptably poor quality".

Beau McCain has become a successful lawyer, held the family together, mended fences and watched while others found love . Now it's his turn. Or it would have been if Beau had managed to show Macy Randall that he wasn't just a substitute brother, that he could be—was meant to be—the man for her. But somewhere in the terrible breakup of her first marriage was the reason she refused to try again.
Yet just as Beau has reconciled himself to a life apart, an abandoned baby unexpectedly brings him and Macy together, pitching them both into a dramatic custody battle—reminding everyone that when something's very precious, it deserves a new start.

About the Author
After selling her first book to Harlequin's Superromance line, Linda's life hasn't been the same. It's fun, exciting, and she never has enough time, but she enjoys every minute.
She grew up in a small farming community called Smetana outside of Bryan, Texas. Writing was never in her plans. She enjoyed it and even won an essay contest in high school. Her English teacher told her if she could get her grammar and emotion on the same level that she could be a good writer. She didn't pay much attention to her words because she had always planned to be a nurse.
In college her life took an unexpected turn. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and had to drop out of school because of the pain. Nothing in life had prepared her for this, but luckily she had a wonderful man waiting for her, her high school sweetheart and own personal hero. With his love and support she learned to deal with a crippling disease at an early age.
With a lot of time on her hands, she took art classes and began to paint. To her shock her paintings started to sell and win awards. This kept her busy for a number of years. Then the turpentine and fume from the oils began to irritate her eyes. The doctor suggested that she put the paints away for a while or try watercolor or acrylics, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to do.
She had always loved to read and when she had to be in the hospital, friends and family would bring her books. That's how she discovered the wonderful world of Harlequin. No matter how bad she was feeling, she could lose herself in a Harlequin novel, knowing that whatever trials the heroine had to go through there was always hope, always a happy ending.
Her family was pressuring her to start painting again, but secretly she was thinking of trying her hand at writing. The only credentials she had for such an insane idea were years of reading and sheer determination. She didn't do anything about the idea until her dad gave her a push. His reasoning was that she had read so many books that it should be a snap. She began by writing long hand in a tablettesting her skills. Her husband then bought her a computer and she had no choice. She had to write in earnest.
After a lot of hard work, tears, perseverance...and more patience than she ever thought she possessed, she's finally doing something she loveswriting. And those happy endings? She writes them now and hopes they touch someone who needs a lift, a smile, or just a good feeling day. No matter what, Linda believes there is a happy endingyou just have to find it.
She loves hearing from readers.

Waco family lawyer Beau McCain loves Macy Randall, but he has little hope of gaining her trust as she was burned badly in her first marriage. Adding to his unhappiness is that he believes she sees him as her big brother, someone¿s strong shoulder available when she needs one.------------- When her troubled pregnant sister Delia comes home to give birth, Macy turns to Beau for strength as she knows that her sibling is incapable of nurturing a child. However, when her sibling abandons her newborn Zoe, Macy needs Beau even more so. He finally tells her he loves her and she says she cares too much to tie him down with a woman who cannot bear children. However, Beau has a new incentive to persuade his beloved that they can raise a loving family together staring with the baby left behind.---------------- THE BAD SON is an interesting contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters who readers know early on love one another, but seem doomed to never forging a relationship beyond friendship though the baby obviously serves as a matchmaker. In some ways Delia is the more fascinating character as the audience observes her destructive behavior and even after she leaves begins to learn about her legal issues on top of her behavioral problems. The fourth McCain brother tale is an interesting family drama.------------------ Harriet Klausner

my son started drinking regular milk on his first birthday which was around a little over a week ago, since then hes has not been going number 2 regular he is so constipated he screams in so much pain. what should i do to tell him be more regular
my son started drinking regular milk on his first birthday which was around a little over a week ago, since then hes has not been going number 2 regular he is so constipated he screams in so much pain. what should i do to tell him be more regular
Hi Rebeccamommyof2,
If your son is in pain and is constipated from the cow milk, you need to stop it right away. If he is used to breastmilk or formula then put him back on that for now. After you give him a full feed of formula, wait an hour, and then offer him some softened, reconstituted prunes. These usually come dehydrated. Just put one in a cup of water and let it sit for 30 minutes or so. Once it has softened nicely, you'll be able to cut it up into small pieces. Mush a piece between your fingers so you can tell that it is soft enough. If your son has had baby food, then get some pureed prunes and offer those to him. Prunes and fruit in general will help to start to get the bowels moving again.
Another thing you can do is to get a suppository that you can gently put into your baby's rectum. This can also help to get the bowels moving again.
I left you another message on how to wean your son here. When you are ready to try moving him off of breast milk or formula again, you'll either want to be sure he is having plenty of prunes, fruit and vegetables to avoid constipation, or your son simply may not be able to tolerate the cow milk very well. I have a child who could not tolerate cow milk so I found goat milk for him. Cows have 4 stomachs so they can digest their mother's cow milk well. Goats have only one stomach (like we do) so we find that humans can digest goat milk much easier. Just note that with goat milk, the fresher you get it the better. You can freeze it (we do) but if you let it sit for a few days you will notice it takes on a "goaty" flavor. Your son may not care, at 1 year of age, but if you try it yourself, you'll notice it tastes much better the fresher it is.
Please post back and let us know when he has a bowel movement. It's important for his little body to be moving those toxins out of the body, and you may find that you have a very cranky baby when he's not going regularly. The goal is for them to be soft, and not hard pellets.
Warm regards,
Dear Rebeccamommyof2,
Just checking in with you to see if things have got any better with your son doing a poo.
Super advice from Kate above. Was your son having breast milk or formula milk before he swapped to cows milk? Is he still having some of either of these now? It sounds like the swap to cows milk may have been too sudden.
I can really sympathise with you as my toddler has experienced constipation in the past. It was horrible; he was screaming and trying not to poo. The problem can become a vicious cycle because the child does not want to poo (after finding it uncomfortable) and so tries to wait and then the poo becomes harder and more solid inside them and so is more difficult to pass and uncomfortable....
Useful ways I found to break this cycle included allowing my son to poo in a warm bath. He was more relaxed in the bath and so found it easier. Also, often toddlers are constipated when they are not drinking enough water so you need to encourage your son to have lots of drinks of water throughout the day. This really solved it for us and my son is now totally fine.
When a toddler is constipated it is also helpful to look at their diet in terms of the food they are eating. Bananas and foods high in fibre (such as wholemeal bread) can actually absorb water and so add to the constipation problem. It is best to avoid these for now and make sure your toddler is eating plenty of fruits like strawberries, apples, pears, oranges etc. You could make these into a smoothie if he would prefer.
I hope things quickly get better for your son. If they do not, I would take him to see your health professional.
Best wishes,

Evolution Hoax
DİDEM ÜRER: Our Prime Minister continues his speech to the people of Reyhanli as such : "Our brothers who escaped from the cruel regime of Assad did not come to Reyhanli for fun but they came out of the fear of death. I would like to remind my brothers in Reyhanli of this ; the Turkish people have always opened its doors to the innocent throughout our history. Those who came from Syria are our brothers and sisters. "
ADNAN OKTAR: Look now, that's very important: What does our Prime Minister say ? "This people have always opened their doors to the innocent throughout our history."
This is unique to Turkey. Not one time, not ten times, not one hundred times. It is so in Europe as well. For example, there is oppression and they come to the Ottomans and the King sends a letter saying " They harm me here. Would you save me ? " The Ottoman sultans act like a father.
For example there are the Jews in Spain who were oppressed greatly. They told them, " You will become Christians or we will kill all of you." The Ottoman Empire acted like a father also. They got them on board ships. For example there are places in Turkey with difficult geographical conditions. They could have also send them there; but what did they do? They gave the Jews the most beautiful places in the city. And they said, " You are free to live as you wish. "
For example, when Fatih the Conqueror conquered Istanbul, there was only the Greek church. He opened the door to all churches. He said " You are all free. " He opened the Armenian churh. He said to the Armanians and the Latins " You are all free."
There is a beauty here, as it is a matter of love, because when you oppress people you hurt them. When you give them happiness they become happy. For example, even when you put a squirrel inside a cage, the animal is soon dead as it cannot bear enslavement. For example, partridges die when they are enslaved. They die in a short time. They cannot survive. You can feed him and do whatever you want, but they don't survive. They need to be free and so people are comfortable when they are free as well.
In the Ottoman Empire pressure was avoided as much as possible. But with the system of the Mahdi, in the End Times and the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), there will be utter comfort and relief. People will say, " My brother, we have ruined ourselved. Why the need for so much pain ? Why the need for so many police stations ? Why the need for so many police officers ? Why the need for so many prisons ? Why the need for so much bombing, cruelty, hanging and killing ? Why did we do this ? " They will be astounded by whay they have done.
Because truly there is no reason for all these. A human is a sweet being to be loved. Why do we need wars ? Why do we need fighting ? The world is so vast, so big. For example, I look at the Turkic countries and there are 3 million, 5 million, 15 million people. There is a land that is several times the land of Turkey. For example, Kazakhistan is very, very big. The land is very abundant and empty as well. There are places with no human populations at all. It is endless. Why are you fighting for ? The whole world is empty. Also it is very green and beautiful. It is calm and completely empty. Satan and the inner self put people in such a mad spirit. Everyone is fighting over a very tiny piece of land. The system of the Mahdi will eradicate this. This is the quality of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) insha'Allah.
DİDEM ÜRER: Our Prime Minister, continues in his speech towards our brothers and sisters in Reyhanli : "Those who came from Syria are our brothers and sisters. They are here because they believe in us. Don't respect those who want to chase them away from here. The day when the dictatorial regime in Syria ends, these brothers of ours will return back to their homes. "
ADNAN OKTAR: That's it, he has spoken really well. It is very compassionate and rational and generates a feeling of fidelity in people.
One could think of himself as in Syria. He came here and is staying at a tent. He is safe. There are no bullets, no bombs, no attacks. He is in a free and democratic country; and he owes this to a government, a Prime Minister. People would never forget this as a duty of loyalty.
For example, if there are two hundred thousand people there then there are two hundred thousand people who love Mr. Tayyip. Loyalty is a great feeling. A person would never forget a person who saved his life. He would not forget, no matter what. He saved his life. Life is precious, is it not ? If he saved his life, he would never forget him. (Adnan Oktar, May 25th, 2013: A9 TV)

Hiram Wesley Evans
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Hiram Wesley Evans (26th September 1928 - 14th September 1966) was a humble dentist born in Alabama who followed the American dream and went from being a poorly paid teeth-whitening specialist living in Texas to being Lord High Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK and the Elder Elves in the space of two years. He took the initiative of taking the KKK from the joke spoof of a magician group to becoming a political power bent on the intention of making all African Americans disappear.
Famous points in Wesley's life were the 1923 Nuremburg, Pennsylvania rally and the capture and torture of an unnamed black man. He was well-known by KKK members for moving their headquarters to Washington D.C. while the President was away and thus gaining control of the Whitehouse. However when the President came back he found out that the KKK had been living in his house and so ironically demanded that their headquarters be moved to the less well-known Blackhouse where they still remain to this day.
edit Early Life
Wesley had wanted to be a dentist ever since he was born as he had a mad obsession with machines that ripped out people's teeth and poured vile tasting paste and liquid down their throats. He had considered being a torturer at Guantanamo Bay at one point but decided that there were too many brown people there for his liking. His dream came true when his family moved to Texas where there were less tightly controlled dentistry regulations and a high concentration of Mexican immigrants to test dentistry methods on.
After getting an education at the Valkyrie University (Hitler's favourite piece of music was Ride of the Valkyrie's coincidentally), he received his Dentistry License in 1900. He opened up a small dentistry practice in Dallas and led a peaceful living as an "average man."[1] While he carried out this calm life of his he began (unknowingly) racking up things that would help him become a member of the KKK in later life such as becoming a Free Mason and refusing to serve Jewish customers at his dentist practice.
edit Joining the KKK
After a few years of dentistry, Wesley was getting fed up of constantly dealing with black colored teeth of people who did not use enough toothpaste. He remarked in his dentistry diary, "I am fed up of constantly dealing with blackened teeth. What's worse is when the mould that causes blackening, which I perceive to be the ipitamy of all evil, seeps onto the skin and blackens the skin. When a man is succumed to this black skin disease he is no longer a man but a devil."[3] A friend overheard him complaining about people with black skin who didn't brush their teeth properly, one day and refered Wesley to a local magic circle known as the KKK (Khan's Kingly Konjurors) who were working on a magic trick to make a person's teeth transform from blackened to white in the matter of a few seconds.
Wesley joined immediatly and left his Dentist practice in 1920 to become a wizard in the KKK. They toured Texas all throughout that year performing tricks such as turning Jews into frogs, making black people disappear and whitening people's teeth and skin. Despite the success they had the tour had to be stopped short at San Antonio half-way through as the casualty list for their audience participation members was stacking up. One newspaper wrote at the time, "The KKK tour was stopped short this year after many people watching the tour did not return in a safe condition. Some audience members when they were made to disappear were lost for ever and a black man was once burnt to death by accident in the KKK's famous "Lynch and Burn" trick."[4]
edit Expanding the influence of the KKK
By 1921 Wesley had been so highly recognised by the KKK that he was promoted to the position of "great titan" of the "Realm of Texas" and was incharge of all the KKK in Texas. He was fed up with the KKK being just a magic group and only using the magic whitening toothpaste on stage. Wesley wanted industrial production of this toothpaste, he wanted to wipe out the black disease in the USA. He wanted to bring the KKK into fore-front politics.
Therefore Wesley set to work and began putting forward KKK members in local elections. He encouraged many other states in the South to do this as well and soon all KKK members across the country began campaigning. He spent all the money he had on building factories to produce toothpaste to cure the black disease. He opened up a "KKK Dentistry Practice" where he could experiment with plucking out teeth from black people to see whether they would turn white.[2] Wesley protested against the lynching of blacks as it was too boring to watch. Instead Wesley favoured drilling into the blacks' brains with dentistry tools.
In November 1922 Wesley became leader of the Klan and set up a KKK party with Party Rules. His rules covered the broadest aspects of the party:
- This a teeth whitening organisation.
- This is an organisation for those with only one male genital.
- This is a Dixie Land organisation.
- This is a Protestant organisation (despite the fact we dress up like Catholics).
Wesley wrote that the right to govern of the USA should be held by white, Anglo-Saxon protestants as, as every redneck knows, Jesus himself was white, protestant and spoke English. He supported the rise of Anglo-Saxon dominance in the USA, which funnily enough had already been acheived long before his time and he supported the crushing of other races as the Dentistry Bible itself says that "Those who have a spec of black are devils on our Earth."[5]
edit National Leadership of the KKK Campaign
Wesley reformed the KKK by basing their hatred of blacks on more scientific terms such as those he had worked out through dentistry. He called immigrants "superstitious, religious, communists" and accused them of dressing up in funny costumes and burning things (such as the American flag). He gave Senator McCarthy all the fuel needed to condemn the black civil rights groups of being a "virus working against the basis of scientific dentistry that keeps this country flowing."[6]
Thanks to Wesley's leadership and his Nuremburg, Pennsylvania Rally of 1923, the party grew in the North and got the support of industrial workers such as 40,000 citizens of Detroit. He attacked Catholicism as he said that the religion was responsible to the recent UFO attacks on Earth[7] and for the growing Spanish population, who had heard about the Battle of the Alamo and now all wanted a turn at slaughtering Americans locked up in Churches.
Wesley even went as far as purchasing a school in Indiana to brainwash the population there into believing that minority groups were dangerous. This led to a mass suicide in the 78% Native American population attending the school and the school was forced to be closed down.
Wesley clashed with many people and groups when he was leader of the Klan. He was accused of being a racist and got into a brush with the law many times. He took this in his stride saying that they "call me a racist but I am a dentist, it's just because the two words sound the same and they're too dumb to realize they are the same...hang on. Where's my dictionary?"[1] Many civil rights campaigners called him uneducated and old-fashioned. Wesley's reply to that was poorly received due to his Texan twang, his frequent pauses to look up what a black person was in his encyclopedia and the constant sound of his wife's spindle machine making cloth.
By 1924 the KKK had reached 6 million members, which was a helpful number for the government as it showed how many rednecks lived in the USA still and therefore how many citizens bunked off school.
edit Decline of the Klan
By 1925 the Klan was experiencing internal instability with some KKK members opting for operating on blacks using surgical methods instead of dentistry methods. The Grand High Lord Imperial Dragon John Galen Locke prefered to attack blacks with chainsaws and scapels than toothpicks and toothbrushes. Wesley forced him to resign and the party began to look old-fashioned and not modernising with new medical weaponary. To make matters worse some KKK members were found to have black teeth and were branded hypocrites and traitors by the democratic oligarchy at the top of the KKK.
In 1926 Wesley marched on Washington and enacted the whole headquarters scandal to try and gain publicity however it failed and Wesley's KKK headquarters ended up being in the Blackhouse and not the Whitehouse. In 1929 Wesley realized that the party was collapsing and in a last ditch attempt founded the Tea Party to carry on right-wing extremist ideals in the USA.
edit Hitler saves Wesley
Luckily for Wesley, Adolf Hitler was having much more success than him over in Germany and had managed to convince quite a few Germans that the Jewish people were evil. Wesley heard about this and claimed that Hitler's scientific experiments proved that all minority races were inferior. This all played into his hands and he began a fascist campaign in the USA trying to get the USA to back the Nazis during the war.
Wesley began copying Hitler's methods of gaining power. He attempted to get funding from major US companies by claiming he was the most capitalist man alive. From this Wal Mart paid him $2 to bug off and told him his point of view was too cheap for them. Next, he organized a secret police force. However, he then realized there was no need, as the FBI was oppressive enough anyway.
edit Wesley's downfall and death
Unfortunately the USA seemed to favour anti-fascism more and Wesley never got the support that he needed. By 1936 the KKK membership dropped to 100,000 people and the price of toothpaste rose dramatically as all the factories closed down. Wesley resigned and took up a new job as a highway maintanence man who helped the AAA maintain superior quality roads. In doing this he was fired in 1938 for painting a whole road white instead of just some white lines. His excuse that the "Tarmac had turned too black under the heat of the Sun" was not excepted.
Wesley never took back to his old profession of dentistry and instead fled around the country escaping from the rising immigrant population while injecting his special teeth-whitening toothpaste on surprised victims everywhere he went. He was finally caught on his deathbed in 1966 and died. His last words being, "Oh dang! My teeth is turning black, I must be cleansed."
