Eco-Friendly Spring Garden Party Ideas
Once spring is in the air, the only thought we have is to get outside and enjoy the nice weather. Loving parties of any sort, we're fond of celebrating the season with an outdoor garden soiree.
Once spring is in the air, the only thought we have is to get outside and enjoy the nice weather. Loving parties of any sort, we're fond of celebrating the season with an outdoor garden soiree.
Celebrations contributor Coryanne Ettiene planned just such a spring-inspired party recently, largely in honor of Earth Day on April 22nd. With pastel hues, eco-friendly decor ideas and light menu options, her spring party is the ideal way to welcome the new season in style.
Throughout the entire party, Coryanne incorporates eco-friendly supplies and reusable spring decor. A mixture of natural embellishments, like her wicker basket, and reworked supplies, the chalkboard, Coryanne created a casual atmosphere that was still functional and stylishly spring-inspired.
Throw pillows were a big part of keeping this garden party casual. Take advantage of the newly grown grass and sit picnic-style. Lay back and enjoy the fresh air!
We're loving chalkboard party ideas lately and this clever use of an old board Coryanne had lying around is darling. A unique display and focal point in her space, we're sure a similarly inspired look at your own party will impress your party guests.
Coryanne incorporated two signature spring cocktails into her garden party. The first was this Purple Haze drink, served mason jar style. Not only was she able to concoct special drinks for every guest ahead of time, the mason jar made for easy transport and when ringed with ice along the outside, it kept the refreshment cool, not watered down.
The second sip Coryanne served was a Gardener's Tonic. A modern mix on the classic gin and tonic, this cocktail recipe is a bit fresher.
Rather than serve dessert in plastic bowls, Coryanne opted for a completely edible idea -- waffle bowls. Filled with fresh, seasonal fruits and a dollop of whipped cream, this dessert is a delightful way to round out your light spring party menu.
Open face cucumber sandwiches are crunchy, creamy, fresh and savory all in one bite. These mini appetizers are also made with fresh ingredients from your local market and very own herb garden.
Finish off your menu with a little something heavier, and a bit decadent to boot. These no-bake chocolate mud pies have an unexpected ingredient to thank for their creamy texture - you'll just have to find out what it is! Get the dessert recipe.
As guests depart, thank them for coming the same way Coryanne did - with plantable potted plants. Literally, these DIY spring party favors go right into the ground. It's the perfect way to end the party on point, and will hopefully encourage your guests to adopt eco-friendly habits in their own lives.

Born in the Great Depression, tested and proven in the Great Recession, the Bank of Canada is home to the most powerful unelected officials in the country. Formed in the 1930s, it is young by global standards, compared to the Bank of England's beginnings in the late 1600s, the Bundesbank's in the late 1800s and the Federal Reserve's in the early 1900s. Eight men have held the influential position of governor since it opened in March 1935
The pioneer: Graham Towers, 1934-1954. Mr. Towers was very much a man about town when, at 37, he was named the world's youngest central bank chief and set about to build the Bank of Canada from scratch. With his wife Molly, he lived the high life in Ottawa as part of the establishment. Born in September, 1897, he studied economics at McGill University, served as a supply officer in the First World War and, on the advice of Stephen Leacock, was hired by Royal Bank of Canada. From there, he was tapped as the first governor of the Bank of Canada, whose shares at the time were owned by the public, though it would be nationalized during his tenure, which ran until early 1955, almost the end of three terms. These were different times. Central banking was new to Canada, the bank's policy rate was fixed, and commercial bank lending rates were capped. Thus, there was trouble in trying to strike a grand vision. It was the war effort that helped pull Canada out of its economic malaise.
The rebel: James Coyne, 1955-1961. He's known as the man whose pitched battle with the Diefenbaker government led to the system of effective central bank independence we have today. Mr. Coyne had been a Rhodes scholar when he joined the Bank of Canada's research staff in 1938, followed by stints at other agencies. He was brilliant, sophisticated, a man with a sense of humour, handsome, and, at the time, deemed to be the most eligible bachelor in Ottawa. He was committed to his battles, which included inflation, foreign ownership and government policy. Under Mr. Coyne, interest rates rose sharply, prompting several economists to seek his ouster. He was restrictive in his policy, while the government of the day wanted something looser, though it chose to attack him, and eventually force him out, over the misguided and unfair pretext of his pension. Mr. Coyne engaged in a war with the government that would lead to his resignation in 1961 after what became known as the "Coyne Affair."
The healer: Louis Rasminsky, 1961-1973. A story is told of Mr. Rasminsky that, while no doubt apocryphal, is a lovely tale about a lovely man. When, at 22, he scored a job in Geneva, he wired Lyla Rotenberg, his "sweetheart" in Toronto, proposing marriage and advising he'd be earning 13,700 Swiss francs. She wired back, wanting to know the exchange rate on the franc. Born in Montreal in 1908 he won a scholarship to the University of Toronto and then went on to the London School of Economics. Having to rebuild morale at the Bank of Canada on his appointment, he devised the system of bank independence, knowing it would be an issue: In the case of a disagreement the government can issue a directive outlining the policy it wants followed. Otherwise, the central bank is responsible for monetary policy in the normal course. He was wise in his approach, telling an interviewer a central bank must be answerable in a democracy, but monetary policy could not be set by the minister of finance.
The scientist: Gerald Bouey, 1973-1987. Mr. Bouey once said "there's a certain amount of science" in the art-and-science combination of monetary policy. For Mr. Bouey, and the nation, neither the art nor the science worked particularly well. Having grown up on the prairies in the Depression, Mr. Bouey joined an RBC branch in Saskatchewan at 16, then the Royal Canadian Air Force, and then headed for Queen's University, winning the Economics Medal on graduating in the late 1940s. From there, it was to the research department of the Bank of Canada and, eventually, senior deputy under Mr. Rasminsky. His era as governor was marked by rampant inflation. It was an era driven by Paul Volcker, named Fed chief in 1979 and whose crusade against inflation sparked the ugly recession in the early 1980s. The Bank of Canada followed Mr. Volcker, with a recession that would push prime lending rates to 22.75 per cent, leading to crippling unemployment and homeowners losing their properties as mortgage rates rose.
The zealot: John Crow, 1987-1994. If anti-inflation were a religion, Mr. Crow would be its high priest. Born in 1937 in a poor London area, he did two years of service in the Royal Air Force, then headed to Oxford and later to the IMF in Washington. The year Mr. Bouey became governor, Mr. Crow joined the bank as research department deputy chief. Soon, he was chief, then an adviser to Mr. Bouey, then deputy governor and, finally, senior deputy before taking the top job. His era, too, was marked by recession amid his quest for zero inflation, as the prime commercial rate hit 14.75 per cent and unemployment about 12 per cent. He was supported by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Finance Minister Michael Wilson, whose Tories would be destroyed in the 1993 election. Mr. Crow also ushered in the era of inflation targets, in a 1991 deal with Mr. Wilson for a target of 2 per cent by the end of 1995, and a band of 1 to 3 per cent. He could not reach an understanding with Mr. Wilson's successor, Liberal Paul Martin, and was soon gone.
(J.P. MOCZULSKI for The Globe and Mail)
The steward: Gordon Thiessen, 1994-2001. Mr. Thiessen, in turn, could reach an understanding with Mr. Martin, and they agreed to extend the same target, rather than cut it further. The quiet Mr. Thiessen studied at the University of Saskatchewan, lectured for a while, then joined the Bank of Canada's research department in 1963. With some time out for a PhD at the London School of Economics, and later as a visiting economist at Australia's central bank, he was named senior deputy under Mr. Crow, . By the time Mr. Thiessen took the helm, interest rates and inflation were more stable and the country's wounds were healing. But unemployment was still above 11 per cent and, just a week into the job, Alan Greenspan's Fed was fretting about inflation and hiked rates for the first time in five years. That would be just the first move, and Mr. Thiessen was loath to take a heavy hand. To his credit, he tried to resist the Fed's pull. In time, though, and as the dollar dipped, his hand was forced.
(Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail Newspaper)
The professor: David Dodge, 2001-2008. By the time he got to the governor's desk, Mr. Dodge was steeped in the ways of Ottawa, with an impressive track record of having helped Mr. Martin slay the deficit. Born in 1943, he studied economics at Queen's, going on to a PhD at Princeton, then to teach at Queen's, and later Johns Hopkins. He found his way to the Finance Department, becoming deputy minister in the early 1990s, and later deputy health minister. Mr. Dodge, well known for his pipe, helped fight the credit crunch that preceded the last recession, though the main battle would be waged by his successor. He's frank, and he has a winning style, once responding to questions about the strong dollar that Canadian shoppers should seize the day and demand lower prices from retailers. As his term wound down, he wondered, in an interview with The Economist, whether he should have been "driving those rates harder than we did" before the crisis.
The rock star: Mark Carney, 2008-2013. One wonders if even Mrs. Carney isn't rolling her eyes by now at all the talk about her celebrated husband being a "rock star" and the "Wayne Gretzky" of central banking. That's not to suggest he's not, only that it got somewhat thick this week after Mr. Carney was tapped as the next governor of the Bank of England. Mr. Carney was born in Fort Smith, NWT, raised in Edmonton and, in time, studied at Harvard and then for a PhD in economics at Oxford, where he met his British-born wife. He travelled the world, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in London, New York and Toronto. He steered Canada through the financial crisis and recession, which, in fact, was milder than the recessions during Mr. Bouey's and Mr. Crow's terms. He is credited with having had a strong hand on the tiller, slashing interest rates to emergency lows and admonishing Canadians for taking on too much debt.

The end of what has been years of legal drama is nearing for Alan and Kristin Hudson, family farmers from Maryland who have been at the center of a lawsuit pitting environmentalists against agriculture.
The Waterkeeper Alliance's lawsuit against the Hudson's and Perdue Farms dragged on for years, and though the presiding judge ruled against the Waterkeeper Alliance in December, the group continued to mull the possibilities of an appeal.
Now the wait is over. According to Delmarva Now, the Waterkeeper Alliance missed the Jan. 22 deadline to file an appeal, indicating that the group has decided against contesting the judge's decision.
"Waterkeeper Alliance has decided not to file an appeal in the Hudson/Perdue CAFO case. ... Given the high burden appellate courts impose for reversing a district court's findings of fact, Waterkeeper Alliance will not appeal Judge Nickerson's decision," Marc A. Yaggi, executive director of the Waterkeeper Alliance said in a statement. "Although the Waterkeeper Alliance is disappointed with the ultimate conclusion of the case, we believe that many of the issues brought to light during the trial ... will lead to progress in protecting and restoring the bay,"
For Alan Hudson the decision brings closure to a long road that has dominated his family's life for years.
"I'm glad that they did. I'm glad that much of it's over, anyway. That's a good thing," he told Delmarva Now.
Perdue also responded to the decision, pointing that the nightmare that has plagued the Hudon's can be put behind them for good.
"We are pleased that the Waterkeeper Alliance and their taxpayer-funded legal counsel at the University of Maryland's Environmental Law Clinic have decided not to prolong this irresponsible attack on Maryland agriculture and have accepted Judge Nickerson's clearly stated decision," Julie DeYoung, spokeswoman for Perdue Farms in a statement.
Read, "Waterkeepers will not appeal lawsuit."
One more step is still facing the Hudson's and Perdue as they attempt to win at least $3 million in legal fees. Read more here.
The case dates back to 2009 when environmental group the Assateague Coastkeeper reported what appeared to be a pile of chicken manure on the Hudson's property draining into a nearby ditch. This prompted legal action by the Waterkeeper Alliance. Though the material was later confirmed to be treated sewage sludge from Ocean City, Md., which was used by the farm as fertilizer, the Waterkeeper Alliance proceeded with its lawsuit against the Hudson's and also Perdue.
Had the Waterkeeper Alliance won the case, the decision would have rippled across the agriculture committee and set a precedent for many large- and small-scale farms in the nation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2013 (1684 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MANU Joseph's 2010 first novel, Serious Men, a wickedly funny satire on caste and class at a scientific institute in Mumbai, won the PEN Open Book Award and the Hindu Best Fiction Award, as well as a host of other award nominations. It was compared favourably to Arvind Adiga's The White Tiger, winner of the Man Booker Prize in 2008.
Now Joseph, a Delhi-based columnist and editor, has produced a more sombre, slow-paced novel that focuses on a father's investigation of his son's suicide. He has thrown in funny observations of contemporary Indian society, as well as some quirky, authentic characters (as he did in Serious Men), but still there is little here to hold a reader's interest through the novel's long middle section.
The Illicit Happiness of Other People chronicles six months in the life of the Chacko family in Madras (now Chennai). The time is 1990, and the family is Keralite Christian. Since Joseph was born in Kerala and grew up in Madras, he is writing what he knows.
The Chackos (Ouseph, Mariamma and their 12-year-old son, Thoma) live in a large apartment complex of middle-class families where everyone knows everyone else's business. This knowledge has distinct disadvantages for the Chackos, who are not ordinary people.
Even before their 17-year-old son, Unni, dove off the roof of their apartment building, the cracks in the Chacko family were showing.
Ouseph, once a promising journalist, comes home drunk every night. Mariamma, who has a degree in economics and frequently refers to the law of diminishing returns, talks to the walls. The family is so poor (by middle-class standards) that the only way Marianna can keep Thoma in a Catholic school is by giving her priest information on other Catholics who attend evangelical meetings.
The characters and the setting, then, are rich with possibility, and the book's opening chapters are absorbing. Three years after the event, Ouseph receives a clue in the mail that once again compels him to take up the investigation of his son's death. He studies the enigmatic cartoons his son composed and seeks to interview Unni's friends.
By this time, Unni's friends have either succeeded in getting into top-notch engineering schools or resigned themselves to failure. Ouseph views these young men as "terrified of everything, of life, of their future, of friends doing better than them, of falling off their cycles, of big trucks and large men and beautiful women ... the only thing that did not scare them was calculus."
But pithy prose and a few witty observations are not enough to move the story along. The format of interviews and exposition soon becomes tiresome. Everyone has a tale to tell, but no one has an answer to why an apparently happy boy would commit suicide. How long can readers sustain interest in a character they have never met?
Fortunately, Ouseph's lengthy interviews are interspersed with passages from the point of view of Thoma, a very engaging character. We first meet him in class where he has a tendency to wool-gather, staring "at the open textbook for hours ... distracted by the pain of the parallelogram, which is slanted forever. His nails scratch the page to straighten its tired limbs."
In the end, it is Thoma who stumbles on the reason for Unni's suicide. It is all much simpler than Ouseph's circuitous investigation would indicate, and entirely plausible.
If only Joseph had cut 50 or so pages in the middle section, readers might come away satisfied, instead of feeling they have been led up a very long garden path.
Faith Johnston is a Winnipeg writer. Her second book, a novel, The Only Man in the World, was published this fall.

Hello, grillers...
My "corn, potatoes and onions" Weber 26 3/4" is a real beauty, but the grates are getting a bit worn. I'm debating on whether to shell out the $50 for new ones from Weber (admittedly a bargain), or just keep the old ones.
Basically, my grates are still intact, but quite rusty. Think I'm good just oiling them up and keeping them clean...or is it important to get the new ones?
Thanks for your expertise!

In the last half decade, magic—normally deemed entertainment fit only for children and tourists in Las Vegas—has become shockingly respectable in the scientific world. Even I—not exactly renowned as a public speaker—have been invited to address conferences on neuroscience and perception. I asked a scientist friend (whose identity I must protect) why the sudden interest. He replied that those who fund science research find magicians "sexier than lab rats."
Related Content
I'm all for helping science. But after I share what I know, my neuroscientist friends thank me by showing me eye-tracking and MRI equipment, and promising that someday such machinery will help make me a better magician.
I have my doubts. Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.
I remember an experiment I did at the age of 11. My test subjects were Cub Scouts. My hypothesis (that nobody would see me sneak a fishbowl under a shawl) proved false and the Scouts pelted me with hard candy. If I could have avoided those welts by visiting an MRI lab, I surely would have.
But magic's not easy to pick apart with machines, because it's not really about the mechanics of your senses. Magic's about understanding—and then manipulating—how viewers digest the sensory information.
I think you'll see what I mean if I teach you a few principles magicians employ when they want to alter your perceptions.
1. Exploit pattern recognition. I magically produce four silver dollars, one at a time, with the back of my hand toward you. Then I allow you to see the palm of my hand empty before a fifth coin appears. As Homo sapiens, you grasp the pattern, and take away the impression that I produced all five coins from a hand whose palm was empty.
2. Make the secret a lot more trouble than the trick seems worth. You will be fooled by a trick if it involves more time, money and practice than you (or any other sane onlooker) would be willing to invest. My partner, Penn, and I once produced 500 live cockroaches from a top hat on the desk of talk-show host David Letterman. To prepare this took weeks. We hired an entomologist who provided slow-moving, camera-friendly cockroaches (the kind from under your stove don't hang around for close-ups) and taught us to pick the bugs up without screaming like preadolescent girls. Then we built a secret compartment out of foam-core (one of the few materials cockroaches can't cling to) and worked out a devious routine for sneaking the compartment into the hat. More trouble than the trick was worth? To you, probably. But not to magicians.

Art Or Advertisment?
Just before the weekend, the LA Times posted a story about Foster The People's giant mural on the side of a downtown building at 539 S. Los Angeles St. The mural was painted in anticipation of their latest album Supermodel and it mirrors the artwork for the album. They received permits from the city to paint it, however the permits were recinded last week. Why? The city claimed that is was an advertisement for the album, which is against city regulation. Late last night, thanks to a petition started after Friday's announcement, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has saved it from being removed.

Katrina Bowden Is a Woman We Love
Somewhere amidst the backdrop of rubble, cholera, and a tense presidential election — here at Haiti's colonial Hotel Oloffson, to be exact — emerged the band of the moment, in the country the world almost forgot. And seemingly out of nowhere: There was almost no promotion of Arcade Fire's 250-person set on Tuesday night, despite being a rare joyous occasion, the likes of which this ravaged city has seen few of since the earthquake hit fourteen months ago. It was mostly ex-pats, of course, but on Tuesday, none of the misery seemed to matter. Everyone just danced.
The band warmed up for about an hour. And, man, was it warm in there. Things only heated up when Arcade Fire opened with cover songs beyond the Rolling Stones one you just watched: Blondie's "The Tide is High," Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Who'll Stop the Rain," and Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Click through for video of that, but needless to say Win Butler didn't exactly follow a planned set list.

Did you know?
Chinese immigrants arrived in large numbers in South Africa in the 1870s to seek their fortunes on the gold mines of the Witwatersrand and the diamond mines of Kimberley.
In South Africa, the influence of the flavours, spices and cooking techniques of the East is noticeable.
Not only has the last decade or so brought a flood of Indian, Chinese, Thai and Japanese restaurants into the country, but most top restaurant menus now feature fusion dishes, mingling Western and Eastern tastes. Even at the lower end of the scale, Chinese fast food and sushi bars are now as common as burger outlets.
With a large number of Indian descendants in South Africa, Indian restaurants are particularly prominent in all the big cities. Both fiery southern Indian cuisine and the milder northern fare can be found, as well as Goan seafood dishes. Some South African-inspired additions to Indian cuisine have also developed here, notably bunny chow, a hollowed out bread loaf filled with a down-to-earth curry.
Traditional South African food also owes much to the East, not least Cape Malay cuisine, which was brought to the Cape by slaves whose legacy can be found in the richly spiced dishes of bobotie (a mince dish), bredie (a stew with vegetables) and sosaties (satays), as well as sticky sweets like Cape Malay koeksisters and malva pudding. These are now an integral part of the national cuisine.
Similarly, some Chinese dishes have been adapted for South African taste, and Chinese cuisine can be found in exclusive restaurants as well at cheap and cheerful takeaways. Thai food is also popular.
Japanese dining, with theatrical touches seen in the preparation of shabu shabu or teppanyaki, has always been appreciated for its entertainment value. It can be a little pricey, but as a good night out, is generally considered worth the expense.
Other Asian restaurants you will find include Korean, Malaysian, Indonesian and Vietnamese.
When in Gauteng try one of the Koi restaurants, with outlets in Rosebank, Sandton and Lynnwood, where dim sum and sushi are given equal status.
In the Western Cape, take a trip out to Indochine on the Delaire Graff wine estate in Stellenbosch for a fusion menu of note; or splurge at Haiku in central Cape Town, which features Asian tapas.
Daruma, a long-established Japanese restaurant on the Marine Parade, is a Durban favourite, as is Gounden's in Umbilo, which is a great place for a spicy, traditional Indian curry.

Best time to visit
Generally most restaurants are open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday through Saturday. Some restaurants are open on Mondays, but it's a good idea to check. In South Africa, kitchens often close around 9pm and many restaurants don't offer the late-dining option. It's a good idea to call ahead and make a reservation.
Tours to do
Visit the new Chinatown in Cyrildene, Johannesburg, where you can shop up a storm for Chinese/Taiwanese/Far East foods and curios. In Cape Town, the old Malay quarter known, as the Bo-Kaap, is a good place to sample Cape Malay food.
What will it cost
Prices vary vastly depending on whether you're going for a fast-food option or upscale fusion food. Enquire directly from the restaurant.
What to eat
The seafood curry at Gounden's is legendary, as is the tom yum kung soup at Koi and the tamarind beef sirloin at Indochine.

Clarence Seward Darrow
Clarence Darrow was born in rural northeastern Ohio on April 18, 1857.[4] He was the son of Amirus Darrow and Emily (Eddy) Darrow. Both the Darrow and the Eddy farms had deep roots in colonial New England, and several of Darrow's ancestors served in the American Revolution. Clarence's father was an ardent abolitionist and a proud iconoclast and religious freethinker, known in town as the "village infidel." Emily Darrow was an early supporter of female suffrage and a women's rights advocate. Clarence attended Allegheny College and the University of Michigan Law School but did not graduate from either institution. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1878. The Clarence Darrow Octagon House, which was his childhood home in the small town of Kinsman, Ohio, contains a memorial to him.
Darrow began his career reading law in Youngstown, Ohio, where he was first admitted to the profession by Judge Alfred W. Mackey. He opened his first practice in Andover, Ohio, and then moved to Ashtabula, where he became involved in Democratic Party politics and served as the town counsel. In 1880 he married Jessie Ohl, and seven years later he moved to Chicago with his wife and young son, Paul. There, he worked for the city government as a lawyer and made a mark for himself speaking at Democratic rallies and other speaking engagements. He was a close friend and protege of Illinois Gov. John Altgeld and helped secure a pardon from the governor for the anarchists who were imprisoned for the Haymarket Square bombing. With Altgeld's help, Darrow became a corporate lawyer for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company, a major Midwestern railroad.[5] In 1894 Darrow represented Eugene V. Debs, the leader of the American Railway Union, who was prosecuted by the federal government for leading the Pullman Strike of 1894. Darrow severed his ties with the railroad to represent Debs, making a financial sacrifice. He saved Debs in one trial but could not keep the union leader from being jailed in another.
Also in 1894, Darrow took on the first murder case of his career, defending Patrick Eugene Prendergast, the "mentally deranged drifter" who had confessed to murdering Chicago mayor Carter H. Harrison, Sr.[6] Darrow's "insanity defense" failed and Prendergast was executed that same year. Among fifty defenses in murder cases throughout the whole of Darrow's career, the Prendergast case would prove to be the only one resulting in an execution.[6]
Darrow became one of America's leading labor attorneys. He helped organize the Populist Party in Illinois and then ran for Congress as a Democrat in 1896 but lost to Hugh R. Belknap. In 1897 his marriage ended in divorce. He represented the woodworkers of Wisconsin in a notable case in Oshkosh in 1898 and the United Mine Workers in Pennsylvania in the great anthracite coal strike of 1902. He flirted with the idea of running for mayor of Chicago in 1903 but ultimately decided against it. That year he married Ruby Hammerstrom, a young Chicago journalist.
From 1906 to 1908, Darrow represented the Western Federation of Miners leaders William "Big Bill" Haywood, Charles Moyer, and George Pettibone when they were arrested and charged with the 1905 murder of former Idaho Gov. Frank Steunenberg. After a series of trials, Haywood and Pettibone were found not guilty and the charges were dropped against Moyer.
In 1911, the American Federation of Labor called on Darrow to defend the McNamara brothers, John and James, who were charged with dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building on October 1, 1910, during the bitter struggle over the open shop in Southern California. Owing to a faulty timer, the bomb detonated prematurely, when the Times building was still occupied by employees. The bomb had been placed in an alley behind the building, and although the explosion itself did not bring the building down, it ignited nearby ink barrels and natural gas main lines. In the ensuing fire, 21 people were killed. The AFL appealed to local, state, regional and national unions to donate 25 cents per capita to the defense fund, and set up defense committees in larger cities throughout the nation to take donations.
In the weeks before the jury was seated, Darrow became increasingly concerned about the outcome of the trial and began negotiations for a plea bargain to spare the defendants' lives. During the weekend of November 19–20, 1911, he discussed with pro-labor journalist Lincoln Steffens and newspaper publisher E. W. Scripps the possibility of reaching out to the Times about the terms of a plea agreement. The prosecution had demands of its own, however, including an admission of guilt in open court and longer sentences than the defense proposed.[7][8]
The defense's position weakened when, on November 28, Darrow was accused of orchestrating to bribe a prospective juror. The juror reported the offer to police, who set up a sting and observed the defense team's chief investigator, Bert Franklin, delivering $4,000 to the juror two blocks away from Darrow's office. After making payment, Franklin walked one block in the direction of Darrow's office before being arrested right in front of Darrow himself, who had just walked to that very intersection after receiving a phone call in his office. With Darrow himself on the verge of being discredited, the defense's hope for a simple plea agreement ended. [9][10] On December 1, 1911, the McNamara brothers changed their pleas to guilty, in open court. The plea bargain Darrow helped arrange got John fifteen years and James life imprisonment. Despite sparing the brothers the death penalty, Darrow was accused by many in organized labor of selling the movement out.
Two months later, Darrow was charged with two counts of attempting to bribe jurors in both cases. He faced two lengthy trials. In the first, defended by Earl Rogers, he was acquitted. Early during the second trial Rogers resigned after a disagreement with Darrow over defense strategy; Darrow served as his own attorney for the remainder of the trial, which ended with a hung jury. A deal was struck in which the D.A. agreed not to retry Darrow if he promised not to practice law again in California.[11] Darrow's early biographers—Irving Stone and Arthur & Lila Weinberg—asserted that he was not involved in the bribery conspiracy; but more recently Geoffrey Cowan and John A. Farrell, with the help of new evidence, concluded that he almost certainly was
As a consequence of the bribery charges, most labor unions dropped Darrow from their list of preferred attorneys. This effectively put Darrow out of business as a labor lawyer, and he switched to civil and, most notably, criminal cases. "He began taking criminal cases, because he had become convinced that what we are used to describing as 'the criminal-justice system' was a gigantic fraud that ruined real people's lives because they had no representation capable of defending them properly against it."[4]
Throughout his career, Darrow devoted himself to opposing the death penalty, which he felt to be in conflict with humanitarian progress. In more than 100 cases, Darrow only lost one murder case in Chicago. He became renowned for moving juries and even judges to tears with his eloquence. Darrow had a keen intellect often hidden by his rumpled, unassuming appearance.
A July 23, 1915, article in the Chicago Tribune describes Darrow's effort on behalf of J.H. Fox, an Evanston, Illinois, landlord, to have Mary S. Brazelton committed to an insane asylum against the wishes of her family. Fox alleged that Brazelton owed him rent money, although other residents of Fox's boarding house testified to her sanity.
In the summer of 1924, Darrow took on the case of Leopold and Loeb, the teenage sons of two wealthy Chicago families who were accused of kidnapping and killing Bobby Franks, a 14-year-old boy from their stylish Kenwood neighborhood. Nathan Leopold was 19 and Richard Loeb was 18 when they were arrested. Leopold was a law student at the University of Chicago about to transfer to Harvard Law School. Loeb was the youngest graduate ever from the University of Michigan. When asked why they committed the crime, Leopold told his captors: "The thing that prompted Dick to want to do this thing and prompted me to want to do this thing was a sort of pure love of excitement... the imaginary love of thrills, doing something different... the satisfaction and the ego of putting something over."
The Chicago newspapers labeled the case the "Trial of the Century"[12] and Americans around the country wondered what could drive the two young men, blessed with everything their society could offer, to commit such a depraved act.
The killers were arrested after a passing workman spotted the victim's body in an isolated nature preserve near the Indiana border just half a day after it was hidden, before they could collect a $10,000 ransom. Nearby were Leopold's eyeglasses with their distinctive, traceable frames, which he had dropped at the scene.
Leopold and Loeb made full confessions and took police on a grim hunt around Chicago to collect the evidence that would be used against them. The state's attorney told the press that he had a "hanging case" for sure. Darrow stunned the prosecution when he had the killers plead guilty in order to avoid a vengeance-minded jury and place the case before a judge. The trial, then, was actually a long sentencing hearing in which Darrow contended, with the help of expert testimony, that Leopold and Loeb were mentally diseased.
Darrow's closing argument lasted 12 hours. He repeatedly stressed the ages of the "boys" (before the Vietnam War, the age of majority was 21) and noted that "never had there been a case in Chicago where on a plea of guilty a boy under 21 had been sentenced to death." His famous plea was designed to soften the heart of Judge John Caverly, but also to mold public opinion, so that Caverly could follow precedent without too huge an uproar. Darrow succeeded. Caverly sentenced the killers to life plus 99 years. Darrow's closing argument "was something of a popular bestseller, in various editions, during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was reissued at the time of Darrow's death."[4]
The Leopold and Loeb case raised, in a well-publicized trial, Darrow's lifelong contention that psychological, physical, and environmental influences—not a conscious choice between right and wrong—control human behavior. The public got an education in psychology and medicine and, because Leopold was an admirer, the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
During the Leopold-Loeb trial, the newspapers claimed that Darrow was presenting a "million dollar defense" for the two wealthy families. Many ordinary Americans were angered at his apparent greed. He had the families issue a statement insisting that there would be no large legal fees and that his fees would be determined by a committee composed of officers from the Chicago Bar Association. After trial, Darrow suggested $200,000 would be reasonable. After lengthy negotiations with the defendants' families, he ended up getting some $70,000 in gross fees, which, after expenses and taxes, netted Darrow $30,000.

Ellesse Blue Sport Frame
When I was a kid, my best friend loved Ghostbusters, New Kids on the block and wore over-sized sports frames identical to these. He was awesome. Given his were probably $4.99 at Wal-Mart. However, these vintage inspired glasses are sure to give you that extra flare. They're retro, but unique. They feature color changing lenses and shatterproof glass lenses.

Top 10 Chick Flicks for a Girls Night In

Get your gal pals together for a night of drinks, gossip, and girls-only fun with a girls night in! Start the fun off with your favorites from this list of our top 10 chick flicks.
Just because a movie earns the classification "chick flick" doesn't mean it's a movie with lots of sappy moments you cry over.
I rounded up my top 10 movies deserving of the "chick flick" honor for a night in with my favorite ladies. These movies are meant to capture all that's wonderful about being a woman - lots of laughs, romance, drama and happy endings.
There are lots of top chick flick lists out there, but these 10 movies are my personal choices for two reasons: they're movies I actually enjoy watching over and over, never growing tired of them, and because my friends love them just as much.
1. Clueless
AS IF...this wasn't going to top my list. From the hilarious script, amazing 90s wardrobes and totally sweet way things turn out, I'll never ever get tired of watching Cher, Dion, Tai and yes, even Amber at their antics. Clueless tops my list as number 1 when it comes to girls night in chick flicks.
2. Dirty Dancing
Don't even try to say you weren't swooning over Patrick Swayze's heroic return at the end of this classic 80s movie. More dramatic than laugh worthy, this top chick flick for a girls night in is perfect for a low-key wine sipping evening with your besties.
3. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Talk about best friends and a movie that celebrates all that's wonderful (and tough) about true friendship. My best friends from high school are still camping out with me for girls night in and this movie is always one we enjoy. Bet you do too - we can all relate to the dreaded high school reunion, bitchy popular girls who judge (unless your one of those) and the happy moment when we embrace who we are and OWN IT.
4. 10 Things I Hate About You
Oh, Heath! I literally drooled while watching this film over and over and over again with my favorites in junior high. This is one of those movies (sort of like Clueless) that could easily have earned itself an "another teen movie" stamp but didn't thanks to it's amazing lead actors. No one, and I mean no one, will sing "I Love You Baby" quite so perfectly.
5. Sixteen Candles
As teenage girls we all dreamed of our crush showing up for our 16th birthday, cake in hand while we smiled prettily in a pink dress - with Molly Ringwald's hair, of course. Though this movie is a bit outdated and no girl's Sweet 16 can be overlooked these days, it's still one of my favorite chick flicks and one every lady must see!
6. Pretty Woman
Like many ladies out there, I've loved this movie for so long...but that just means I started watching it at too early an age. Every time I watch Pretty Woman I appreciate it in a new way. Nothing is cuter than Julia and Richard falling in love...the first time.
7. When Harry Met Sally
The answer is no. A guy and girl can't just be friends. Why, you may ask can we make that blatant statement? Watch this movie and you'll know the answer. No matter how cliche this movie gets at points it's still filled with endless amounts of laughter and classic moments - yes, we're talking about Meg fakin' it in the deli. Did she? Or didn't she?
8. Bridget Jones' Diary
It's a truth universally acknowledged... that most ladies love this film first and foremost because it's a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. It also made my top 10 chick flick list because it's downright, laugh out loud, hilarious to watch Bridget fall in love as well as comforting to know, life could be worse!
9. Sabrina (the original)
Though you may have expected Breakfast at Tiffany's on here, it's actually Sabrina from 1954 that I think makes for the perfect chick flick on a girls night in when you and your friends are in the mood for a classic. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart - my, my - if you haven't seen this one, it's a MUST.
10. Never Been Kissed
OK, we know this last one isn't Drew at her best, but we still can't help loving it! Our hearts broke watching Josie's high-school self run out the door in pink shiny glory only to have popular boy crush her, then they soared watching Michael Vartan run on field to give her her first true kiss. AW!
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Ike Impact on Coastal Fisheries Mixed, but Overall May be Beneficial
AUSTIN, Texas — Hurricane Ike, which devastated communities and residents of the upper Texas Gulf coast Sept. 12-13 may ultimately prove beneficial to the marine organisms that also call the area home.
That's the preliminary conclusion of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Coastal Fisheries Division biologists.
"We may have some initial mortality due to black water," said Lance Robinson, TPWD's regional Coastal Fisheries Division director for the upper coast. "But that black water is also very nutrient rich. As it enters the bays it should result in a boom in primary productivity. We would expect to see good recruitment of game fish species in the next year or two."
So-called "black water" is the anoxic or oxygen-depleted soup of decaying matter that is often left behind after flood or storm surge events. Areas around the eastern periphery of Galveston Bay were reported to have experienced a 15-foot or more storm surge from Hurricane Ike, and foul-smelling, brackish water still stands in many inland areas of the mainland there.
Robinson pointed out that hurricanes are natural phenomena and highly mobile and adaptable estuarine organisms are well-equipped to deal with them.
In fact, the first week of the fall gill net sampling season showed there are good numbers of recreationally important fish still in the Galveston Bay system. The sampling, now in its 33rd year, started in Galveston Bay three days after Ike passed through. Biologists say the data from the long-term monitoring program will detect any significant impacts on adult finfish populations.
"It's early, but we've had some real productive gill net catches. We really haven't seen any problems with dissolved oxygen in the areas we've set," said TPWD's Galveston Bay Ecosystem Leader Bill Balboa. "The fish seem healthy, and we've seen lots of them, of all species."
Ike's Impact on Commercial Fisheries
Oysters, like the other animals that make their living in the highly variable conditions of Texas bays, are well-prepared to survive calamities like hurricanes. Oysters can even change their sex from year to year to increase production if the environment demands it.
What they can't do is get out of the way, and sedimentation over oyster reefs is a real concern.
"We have some side scan sonar data we've been collecting of oyster reefs," Robinson said. "We'll redo those on some transects to see if there was an impact on oyster reefs."
On the Texas coast, there are almost always enough oyster larvae, but sometimes not enough hard substrate for them to attach to and grow to maturity.
Water quality in Galveston Bay, with numerous small oil and fuel spills as well as organic contaminants from decomposing livestock and flooded septic systems is a concern, and is monitored by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Currently, the Texas Department of State Health Services has the bay closed indefinitely for molluscan shellfish harvest.
"The public oyster season doesn't open until November, and we would hope that water quality would improve between now and then," Robinson said.
Many bay shrimpers moved their boats before the storm, though some were sunk or destroyed during Hurricane Ike. Some areas that were known to be trawlable before Ike now may be filled with submerged debris.
Infrastructure Hit Hard
Perhaps the biggest challenge Hurricane Ike brings commercial and recreational anglers alike is the storm's impact on infrastructure. Judging from initial surveys of marinas, canal subdivisions and debris fields, hundreds of boats were severely damaged or destroyed by the storm.
In a survey of 92 boat ramps around the Galveston Bay system last week, Balboa noted that just 29 were accessible. He said he found no functioning bait houses (in fact, many were destroyed), and the availability of fuel, ice and power at dockside is severely limited or nonexistent.
"From a fisherman's standpoint, it will be fine. It will just be an inconvenience for recreational anglers for a while because it will be a challenge finding bait and places to launch," said Robinson. "I think it will result in a shift in fishing pressure. We'll probably see a shift in fishing pressure to Matagorda Bay and some of the other bays, so we'll be watching for that."

A semi-autobiographical novel that attacks Victorian era hypocrisy as it traces four generations of the Pontifex family. Butler dared not publish it during his lifetime, but when it was published, it was accepted as part of the general revulsion against Victorianism.
Just finished this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In particular I found the discussion on investing and finances very insightful. But more than that the book takes an inside look at the characters of many different people.

I was thinking about this for a while and decided to throw it into the group. Might it be a good ieda to completely split the game moves from their in-series equivalents? Perhaps even create a separate info box for them and all?
The games and the rest of the series work completely different, so it is only logical that they be treated differently as well. Instead of debuts, we could simply list the games the moves appeared in. Instead of explaining how the moves would wotk from an in-universe perspective, we could explain how they work from a game-mechanical perspective.
The same could be done with characters, of course. Instead of listing which games a character appeared in, we could simply link to that character's game page. I think it would clean up some of the clutter that exists right now.

- It would create separate articles for, for example, Naruto in the series and Naruto in the games. The same for, for example, Rasengan and Chidori. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 19:58, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Separate articles would allow more in-depth information without cluttering the main articles. Right now, our information on game techniques is all but limited to saying they appeared in certain games and with the many games that are out, even this information can become quite extensive. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:05, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

A bushfire with the potential to threaten homes and lives is raging through Australind, near Bunbury in Western Australia.
An emergency warning has been issued for people between Marriott Road and Treasure Road, east of Old Coast Road, 6km north of Australind in the Shire of Harvey.
The bushfire is said to be uncontrolled and moving fast in a westerly direction, with fire crews on their way to the scene.
The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) warned residents they were in danger and needed to act immediately to survive.
DEC advised that those who lived to the north of Marriott Road, travel north and those who lived south of Marriott Road to travel south.
The Old Coast Road from Perth to Bunbury is likely to be impacted and closed.

Medications for Osteoporosis While Taking Prednisone
I am 34 years old and have been taking Prednisone for 4 years for my RA. I will be taking Prednisone for the rest of my life to help control my RA. I have taken as high as 20mg per day but usualy I am taking 5mg per day. I was told by my nurse to take calcuim and Vitamin D because of my use of Prednisone. Another doctor that I see asked me if I was taking any thing for Osteoporosis. Is calcuim and Vitamin D enough or should I talk to my doctor about adding something for Osteoporosis?
Some experts believe that if you are going to be on steroids like Prednisone longterm that you should take a bisphosphonate medication (there are several options in this osteoporosis drug category) to prevent osteoporosis. However, if you are female and might have more children, taking one of those medications would not be advisable. You might consider checking your bone density at the hip and spine with a DXA scan. If your T-scores and Z-scores are normal, the Prednisone may not be having an adverse effect on your bones. You should still be conscientious about calcium and vitamin D intake as well as exercise.

Healthy Every Week Challenge: Eat More Whole-Grains Wrap Upby Healthy Eats in Uncategorized, January 19, 2012
We're teaming up with fellow food bloggers and healthy eating advocates to host a Healthy Every Week Challenge, a month-long initiative to develop healthy eating habits. The plan is to develop a manageable healthy habit each week that will carry through the new year. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #gethealthy.
Quite possibly the best news of the week for the healthy challengers: Corn is a whole-grain. And so popcorn is a whole-grain. Air-popped is best, and of course with minimal butter/oil on it (but sprinkle liberally with cinnamon or spices!), but yes, eat some air-popped popcorn for a snack, and you've fulfilled week 2's challenge of eating your whole grains. But the challenge participants didn't limit their grain selection to just corn — oatmeal played a big role, as did whole-wheat flours, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice and wheat berries. What was the best grain, or form of whole grains that you ate this week? After the jump, check out a round-up of our challenge participants' blog posts about whole grain week.

The Mount in York was partially blocked earlier this afternoon because of a crash between four cars on the road.
All three emergency services have been called to the scene of the crash, which was reported just before 4.45pm.
Fire crews at the scene said nobody was trapped in any of the vehicles, and police later confirmed no one was seriously injured.
Traffic reports said the road was partially blocked near the Scarcroft Road junction, but it has now been reopened.

10 September 2010, Kocaeli TV
Our problem with communism is not an economic one. But of course, if the mind collapses, the economy will collapse, as well. They have removed people's ability to think in China, and the economy has collapsed. Since the minds have vanished in China and Russia, so has art. They have also put an end to Russian art. There are only people who have rolled up their sleeves and gone off, shouting, and to fight.
Turkey will be enlightened. Turkey will modernize. Turkey will be democratic. We will hear no more fantastical tales. We used to hear them in the past. For instance, there would be a court case, with 10 people on trial with the same accusations. For the first five defendants, the court would say that the plaintiffs had been pressurized, that the witnesses had been coerced, that their statements were inadmissible and that it was acquitting these five. Then a bit later the other five people would appear before that same court. But this time the witnesses had apparently not been threatened, everything they said was true and the court elected to pass sentence. These things happen before everyone's eyes. If you complain you never get anywhere. Ten people are being tried in the same case. The court says it has acquitted five as the witnesses were coerced, then for the other five, it says; "no, the witnesses were not coerced at all". Of course we respect the court, but just as much as we have respect for them we also should have the right to sue them. For example, you want to present your defense, but the court says "I will not let you present your defense". You cannot present a defense. And then the court hands down a sentence. What can you do? Is there a place that you can complaint to, and can get results? You cannot. Let them show me if anyone had ever received some result. Someone is put on trial, but when he asks under which law he is being prosecuted, the court refuses to say. Find out for yourself, it says. He has to find out for himself. How is he meant to do that? He asks what article of the law he is being prosecuted under, but gets no answer. Where can he complain to? For example, there is a court file with 10 sets of evidence. The court says it is admitting the evidence in favor of the first five and gives them acquittal. "Now bring the other five; I deemed 10 out of the 10evidence sets invalid and I sentence you," it says.
First it says that the police statements were taken under duress and in the absence of a lawyer, so it is acquitting these defendants. Then you step into the dock. You are asked if your statement was taken under torture; yes they were. "Did you have a lawyer," they ask; you say no I didn't. But the court says; "So be it, I deem these statements valid for you and I sentence you." I have a huge respect for the courts, but I also do find this system is quite surprising. But I shall be voting yes and think the necessary revisions should be made to the judicial system. See that I cannot even speak. You cannot speak, you cannot complain and there is no question of suing for compensation, as you will definitely lose. They say the system is excellent and should continue. And I say I find it surprising and think that it needs to be corrected. Let one person step up and make a complaint against the High Commission of Judges and Public Prosecutors, who will dare to do that? Who can make a complaint about the Supreme Court? Let them show me if there is any, let them show me the rulings if anyone ever has. Of course I consider all the spotless and honest judges amongst them free of all these, I am just speaking about certain examples. Let one person out of the 70 million in Turkey get up and tell me he has got a result? No. It is impossible. How would we dare? We kindly ask and say; let our people have the right to complain.
I consider all honest judges free of these but the alleged Ergenekon organization is really well entrenched among the judiciary, and these people are protected by the law. They are right where they need to be, and are untouchable.
We want the ideas to be put right, and we have no problem with their substance, their flesh and bone. We have no problem with their brains. But the idea in the head disturbs me, I mean, the incorrect and damaging side of it. Because it also will harm itself. I am waging an intellectual struggle so that it and the nation should not come to any harm. I am not after blood. I am against even one drop of blood being shed. Not even my elbow would ever hit one and cause his nose to bleed. Always through knowledge and reason. Through ideas, and that is very easy. Let them turn the PKK over to me, and they can call me whatever they like if I fail to finish it off, intellectually, ideologically and psychologically, within 2 months. Just in 2 months. Let them place the means of the state at my disposal and 2 months will do. Everyone who knows me knows that.
Fidel Castro has Jewish roots, He is not originally Cuban. But if Ahmadinejad were to be an enemy of the Jews, that would have been unlawful. No Muslim would ever do that. A Jew is descended from the Prophet Abraham, the Prophet Moses, from the holy line of the prophets. Enmity toward a line of descent is racism, fascism. No Muslim would ever do that. But if the other side are atheists and oppress others,we would take precautions against that oppression. But on the contrary, I mean hostility towards a whole line of descent is fascism. No Muslim would do that. And so Ahmadinejad would never do that, either. Why should he? There are pictures of him arm in arm with Jewish rabbis. Ahmadinejad is opposed to oppression. That is the issue. In addition, Jews will be shown affection in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and will be able to live in peace in the land of their forefathers. Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the King Messiah awaited by the Jews. The Jews have been praying for Hazrat Mahdi (as) for thousands of years, weeping, day and night, saying, 'O Lord, send us the King Messiah.' The King Messiah they are awaiting is Hazrat Mahdi (as). In addition, we are under the shadow of the movement of the Mahdi. That means that salvation for Muslims, Christians and Jews has begun.
The things I have said that will happen, will happen and the things I have said will not happen, will not, insha'Allah. I said there would be no earthquake in Istanbul, see that everyone was saying there would be an earthquake and then they all stopped talking about earthquakes. The most generous estimate was within 10 years. But I said, "There will be no earthquake in Istanbul." Ten years have gone by, and none has happened. A great miracle took place, but they glossed over it. The '99 earthquake, the earthquake switched to the underground just at the Istanbul Islands and continued there, till Avcılar and hit Avcılar, but it did not hit Istanbul that much. The earthquake's starting point is also astonishing, but they covered that up. Many facts about the quake have been hidden. There are many facts about it that I know.
Satan wants blood. We are after saving lives. We want living things to stay alive. We are trying to shake off satan from them, to eliminate satanic ideas. That is we are killing satan on the inside. The body, the living thing will survive. I am striving against the satan in the soul. Once I have killed that satan in it, it will be finished with. May Allah give them security. I will slay their devils, their satans. I am anti-satan. I am the satan-crusher. That is my duty, insha'Allah.
There has to be a righteous community in order for hypocrisy to emerge. The hypocrite in an ordinary community would be average, but the ones in that of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be fierce. The community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will at the same time be literally a hypocrite factory. The most extreme hypocrites will come from there, as well as the purest guides. You cannot know that they are guides. What is the worst harm a hypocrite from a community in a mosque can do? He will say, "this mosque can be demolished." But the hypocrites in the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be very fierce. The power of the community and its impact is directly proportional to that of the hypocrite. The hypocrites in the time of our Prophet (saas) were also the most extreme. "Talut killed Goliath," one verse says. The time of the Prophet David (as). That was the time when hypocrisy was most intense. Hazrat Talut was a great Islamic commander, a guide. We will cross the river and you will take a handful of water only, as there is not much water, he says; 313 of his soldiers say; that is nice, there is great wisdom in this. But the others were those with sickness in their hearts and hypocrites. Those with sickness in their hearts have a possibility of recovering, but the hypocrites are dead. "There is no logic here" they say. "Why should we not drink all we want? Since we are at the edge of the river?" They do not realize the wisdom behind that. The hypocrite thinks with a superficial logic, he cannot think deeply. His mentality is asinine, just like a jackass, he goes straight to where the grass is, he acts the same.
It is Allah's wish that the community of Hazrat Mahdi (as) be a minority. Allah also deliberately puts hypocrites among them. He deliberately afflicts troubles on them. In the hadith it is said that Hazrat Mahdi (as)'s back and stomach will be widened as he is being beaten. This is of course a reference to his fame spreading as he is assaulted. It is good to be unjustly attacked. Hazrat Mahdi (as) was instrumental in the Day of Reckoning being stopped. People owe him their lives but are unaware of it. They attack their benefactor. The hypocrites of that time regarded Hazrat Talut as insignificant. They imagined there was no logic in his words. There was also sickness in the hearts of the Prophet Joseph's brothers. They had a predisposition to kill him. That is a feature of satan. He enjoys bloodshed. Allah created him with that predisposition. Hypocrites are jealous and envious. Muslims' intelligence, cleverness and wealth wound them deeply. So they go on the attack to escape that, and have a tendency towards bloodshed. They were ruthless and cruel enough to throw the holy, sweet and lovely Prophet Joseph into a well. They thought he would die naturally. "Maybe a caravan will find him" they said. But if not? Then he would die.
What that woman did to the Prophet Joseph (as) also stemmed from sickness in her heart. A loving woman would never harm her beloved. She can love in her heart in secret, until she dies. Allah will put them together in the Hereafter. She should give herself with all her heart. But she said, "then you will go to prison." What a cruelty this is! 7 years. That is a terrible incident. The dungeons of that time were awful places. What business did that lovely man have there for seven years? The Prophet Joseph (as) had initially liked the woman. The matter did not come out of the blue, it has a past. But no woman could resist the Prophet Joseph (as). He had an unbelievable impact on the women there. The woman says, "look, I will prove it for you." She gave the other women all a bowl of fruit. Then she called in the Prophet Joseph (as). The women all cut their hands as they were unable to look away from him for even a moment. "Now you can see how I have come to the state I am in" she says. Because there is attraction there. He is attractive. There are some men with perfectly regular features, but they have no impact, there is no electricity in them, they have no effect on women. Their good looks are meaningless. Allah specially creates impact on others. This is an affliction of those with sickness in their hearts. A man may like a woman. Let us imagine that the woman spurns him. You will love her in your heart but you will not trouble her. Would one go and frighten or offend the woman he loves. What he must say is, "Let it be as you wish." But for the hypocrite, love and admiration can sometimes change form and lead to aggression and even murder.
Abel and Cain. One is innocent and the other is a hypocrite. All hypocrites have a predisposition to bloodshed. Those carry the feelings of jealousy and they constantly live as if they were in Hell. They suffer day and night. But jealousy burns them up.
There is no jealousy among Muslims, only benevolence and their hearts are at ease. If a person is beautiful, a Muslim says, "May Allah give even greater beauty. Insha'Allah bestow the same blessing on me as well." If another person is rich he will say, "May Allah increase his wealth. Insha'Allah, I will also be rich." But what does the hypocrite say? "May Allah deprive them of their beauty. I want to be the only beautiful person." Hypocrites pray. But theirs is a satanic prayer. And their prayers are not heeded.
The world will be rocked in 2021, insha'Allah. Look at Turkey after Hazrat Mahdi (as) has started his mission. Has not Darwinism disappeared? Does not religion reign everywhere, without exception? This came about through Hazrat Mahdi (as). Look at the world. Look at France. Has Darwinism and materialism collapsed? We are the vanguard of Hazrat Mahdi (as), and see the effects. Look at world leaders making statements praising Allah, the Book, the religion and Islam, and you will see.
Harun Yahya TV, 10 September 2010
Turkey is the place where love is best embodied...
10/57- Mankind! admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.
17/82- We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.
41/44- ...'Say: 'It is guidance and healing for people who have faith. Those who do not have faith have heaviness in their ears and for them it is blindness. Such people are being called from a very distant place.'
Healing. Allah speaks of a sickness and says "there is healing in the Qur'an" He tells people to go to the doctor and have themselves healed. The whole issue for such people is to admit that they are ill and wish to be cured and to submit to the doctor.
HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] will initiate Islam again right from the beginning. (Mikyalu'l Mekarim, vol.1, p.57)
They have played a very big game against Islam. People are unaware of the ruses going on. 1.5 billion Muslims are in the state of captivity, they are all trembling.
Everyone strikes and attacks. Someone gets bored and sets a bomb off.
Hundreds of people are martyred. It takes only a few lines in the foreign press. But they bring the roof down in if a dog dies in the middle of London.
Hundreds of Muslims die, but nobody lifts a finger.
"Let them die. That is what they deserve," they say. But the sky would cave in if a hundred people died in London. They are in a wretched state in Pakistan, children are covered in flies.
In Dubai all they talk about is "How high should the hotel be?" They buy a football team in England.
Then they invest all their money in American banks if they get bored. Their money just stays there.
What they earn they carry off and invest there. They say that is their duty.
Ok, keep your money, but at least let it be used in the Muslim world. You are putting your money in American banks okay, but also put it in the Turkish banks as well, put it in Faysal Finance, or in other places with an Islamic system. Hand it around as loans. But they don't.
And why not? Because there is no Turkish-Islamic Union. "I would have to be mad to waste it like that," they say. But waste will be impossible with Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as). Hazrat Mahdi (as) would not deal with such things, but nobody else will have the nerve to do that. How could anyone who has a leader he loves do such a thing?
There is no optimism in Europe. People are not happy. Everyone is at home all alone. They have no friends or relatives to smile at them. Their streets are in disorder. Factory owners are not happy and don't want to make things. Fervor and enthusiasm are dead in Europe. This is a major phenomenon. Nobody ever imagined that Darwinism would have such consequences. But now they are paying the price. Turkey is where the warmth of love is best embodied.

Effective McCarthy absorbs first loss with Yanks
Jeter passes Wagner for sixth place on all-time hits list in defeat
NEW YORK -- The Yankees just won three out of four games against the Tigers, who started three American League Cy Young Award winners and one of the AL's leaders in wins. Brandon McCarthy was coming off a victory on Monday against Detroit's Max Scherzer, who won last year's Cy Young.
But on Saturday, the Yankees' bats were stifled by Indians right-hander Corey Kluber, who is pitching as well as, if not better than, any of the pitchers the Yankees have faced this week.
New York had no answer for Kluber, who tossed six strong innings to lead Cleveland to a 3-0 victory at Yankee Stadium.
"He's just got really good stuff," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Kluber. "He's got an outstanding slider that he uses to right-handers and left-handers. I know there was a lot of talk for what we faced this week [against] Detroit, but you look at the top five guys in the AL, [Kluber's] right there.
The Yankees' best scoring chance against Kluber came when they opened the sixth inning with a pair of singles, one of which was off the bat of Derek Jeter. The captain's 3,431st career hit moved him past Honus Wagner and into sole possession of sixth place on Major League Baseball's all-time hits list.
But Kluber (13-6) responded by promptly striking out the next three batters in order, finishing with 10 on the day. The right-hander allowed four hits, walked one and lowered his ERA since the All-Star break to 0.68.
"He's nasty," Jeter said. "He throws a fastball, cutter, two-seamer, four-seamer, slider -- he mixes it up pretty good. I don't think he threw too many pitches over the middle of the plate. He's got control, he didn't walk guys. He's a handful.
"If he continues to pitch like this, he's going to have an extremely long and successful career."
The Yankees had not been shut out at home since June 13, 2011, also against the Indians. Cleveland won that game 1-0, and before Saturday had not won here since, enduring a streak of seven games.
The Indians are competing with the Yankees in the crowded race for the second AL Wild Card spot. While the Indians have been inconsistent since the All-Star break (11-12), the Yankees have been much improved (14-8).
Some of that success can be attributed to McCarthy, who was solid again, although that has become expected since he was traded to the Yankees last month. The veteran right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings.
McCarthy made one costly mistake in the second inning, and Jose Ramirez capitalized by hitting a two-run home run, the rookie's first career homer. Cleveland never looked back.
"Over the course of a game, you expect a few [mistakes] to happen," McCarthy said. "Just, they don't typically get punished like that."
McCarthy (4-1) took his first loss in six starts as a member of the Yankees, and it ended a personal six-game winning streak.
There was a moment where it looked as if McCarthy might not make it as far as he did. Michael Brantley, who also hit a solo homer in the eighth, hit a line drive in the third inning right back up the middle that nailed McCarthy in the middle of his right foot.
Girardi and head athletic trainer Steve Donohue came out to the mound to check on McCarthy, who threw a few warmup pitches. He remained in the game and said the foot did not affect his performance the rest of the way. While Girardi expects McCarthy's foot to be sore on Sunday, X-rays came back negative.
"It feels like everything's broken instantly," McCarthy said. "And then you realize the feeling comes back."
This was just the Yankees' second loss in their past eight games, and those losses have come in games started by David Price and Kluber, two of this season's top candidates for the AL Cy Young Award.
"You're going to run into guys that have great stuff," Girardi said. "And sometimes you're going to get them. And sometimes they're going to shut you down."
