Charitable distance skating
Charitable distance skating refers to long distance travel on a longboard or skateboard with an associated charitable fundraising effort.
Perhaps one of the most famous boards in the world, Elsa (a rollsroll carbon longboard) has over 10,000 km under her wheels. Elsa was pushed from Perth to Brisbane between August 20, 2006, and January 22, 2007, by Dave Cornthwaite, of BoardFree, at a distance of 5,823 km, which broke American Jack Smith's previous distance record by 994 km.[citation needed] Cornthwaite was also the first person to skateboard the length of Britain, travelling from John o' Groats to Land's End between April 30, 2006, and June 2, 2006, a total distance of 895.9 miles (1,441.8 km).
During the same summer of 2006, four young Canadian pushed their way across the second longest land mass in the world. Beginning on the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Push for the Cure pushed more than 7,000 km to Vancouver, British Columbia. The journey took just over five months and raised more than $80,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
Many other charitable longboard journeys have taken place, including Nat Halliday et al's skate of the length of New Zealand in 2007, Sam Benson's Beatswalkin' journey from Devon, England, to Barcelona, Spain, in 2007, and Ben Stiff's record-breaking length of Britain skate in 2008.
Long Treks on Skate Decks comprises Paul Kent, Aaron Enevoldsen and Adam Colton. In 2009, the group skated 2,400 km through South America, from Peru to Bolivia. In 2010, they completed yet another 2,000 km journey through Morocco, raising funds for Art à la Carte, a Canadian volunteer society that provides acute care cancer patients with a choice of art for their hospital rooms. The blogs from these skating teams and the video coverage of their epic trips on sites such as YouTube.
In 2010 SkateAcrossUSA formed a team led by Ari Mannis that skated almost 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from Oregon to New York, followed by a support vehicle, to raise money for at-risk youth. In 2012 they finished their second journey from Santa Cruz to San Diego, California, totaling over 550 miles (890 km) with no support.
Skate4Hope comprises members from Singapore. Skate4Hope completed a 120 km maiden round-island voyage in July 2010.
In 2013 Longboard Japan AKA Jack Courtenay pushed his way solo with no support over 1569 km across Japan from Sapporo to Hiroshima in 33 days and raised $1000 for orphans in Japan that were effected by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

AMA Pro Racing announces all new U.S. Championship.
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- AMA Pro Racing will debut an all new motorcycle racing championship in 2003 based on the popular supermoto format. The series is scheduled to begin in late Spring and AMA Pro Racing plans a complete press conference and introduction during Daytona Bike Week in March.
According to Scott Hollingsworth, CEO of AMA Pro Racing, the new series already has the support of the major OEMs as well as a number of national sponsors. "It's apparent that the marketplace is ready for this championship and AMA Pro Racing is pleased to take the leadership role in its development," said Hollingsworth. "Supermoto, with its combination of road racing, motocross and flat track elements, is a fantastic platform for manufacturers to showcase new product and expand their marketing opportunities. Plus, there's no better way to demonstrate rider versatility. To succeed in this series competitors will have to master several racing disciplines."
A cross section of national caliber riders has expressed interest in competing in the series including reigning AMA Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track Champion Chris Carr, two-time X-Games gold medalist /freestyle motocross star Mike Metzger, five-time Daytona 200 winner Scott Russell and former World GP Champion, Kevin Schwantz. Bringing riders together from differing racing backgrounds will ensure not only a good show but broad fan appeal as well.
Races will run in conjunction with already-established AMA professional races or as stand-alone events in a number of major markets nationwide. One of the goals of the series is to offer as many riders as possible the opportunity to compete. Complete series details, including class structure and rules will be announced in March. In the meantime, anyone interested in obtaining more information should contact AMA Pro Racing's Andy Leisner at email@example.com

"Urgent care - an oasis of calm and efficiency"
Posted by MG72
We had to visit this afternoon following an accident to my 10 year old at school.
The staff were brilliant - saw us incredibly quickly, sent us to x ray, sent us back to talk through the results - all done and dusted in well under an hour - probably nearer 40 mins.
We are so lucky to have this facility in Maidenhead to avoid the large scale version at Wexham (when the injury allows)! thanks to everyone, especially one member of staff who dealt with us so well.
Response from St Marks Hospital 12 months ago

Hi folks, can anyone tell me if they have sufferd with pain in their upper back, shoulders, and at the base of the skull?? The pain in my back is sometimes so bad that none of my painkillers work and I am really getting worried. I am on 12.5mg MTX, diclofenic, and tramadol? Please Help!READ MORE
pain in upper back and across the shoulders
Yes, that sounds familiar. It probably comes from RA in your shoulders and perhaps your neck and if it isn't directly related to joint pain, I find that your muscles gets really tense and painful from trying to accommodate what's going on in your joints. Have you just started methotrexate? It takes about 6-8 weeks to really kick in, so you may have to be patient for a little while longer. If you been on methotrexate for longer than that, go back to your doctor and talk about maybe increasing your dose or discuss options for adding e.g., as small dose of prednisone or switching to a more effective DMARD. You can also ask for a referral to a physiotherapist who could help you with some exercises that may help in this area, as well as recommend a collar that you can wear part of the day to give your neck some support and rest. The physiotherapist may also recommend a different pillow that can give you more support at night. Frequent applications of a beanbag heated in the microwave can also be really helpful (you'll find the rice/beanbags in a supermarket or drug store).
I have RA and Fibro. Fibro has specific locations, tender areas. There are 18 of them. Neck, shoulders and across the back are all areas for Fibro. Could mean that you have Fibromyalgia as well as RA. There are meds to help with the Fibro as well. Lyrica, after many alterations has been me a geat deal. Do you get extremely fatigued? I know RA cause fatigue, but when you add Fibro to it the fatigue is "pure exhaustion". Basically you can not get out of your own way, also you have muscle pain. Different locations from your RA joint pain. Maybe it might be worth your while to talk with your rheumy. Many people who have RA also have Fibro. They tend to go hand in hand.
The best thing to do is talk to you doctor. Find out different solutions.
Good luck!! Let us know how you are doing.READ MORE

Japanese citizens all over the country will be pleased to know that the Acer Iconia F54W will be hitting stores all over Japan later this week, priced at around 150,000 Yen, which equates to about $1,800 American dollars. The Iconia F54W is powered by a blazing fast Intel Core i5-480 processor and features a whopping 4GB of RAM for the dual-screen laptop.
The Acer Iconia is the mutant child of a laptop and a tablet, and some are calling it a touchbook, but that's a little to Orwellian newspeak for me. Essentially, it's a laptop with two 14-inch touch screens. The only previous "touchbook" was the Toshiba Libretto W100, which had a limited release.
The Iconia weighs in at 6.2 pounds, is powered by the Intel Core i5-480M, has 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and has a 640 GB hard drive. Connectivity options include 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port. The Iconia includes the brand new USB 3.0, allowing super-fast file transfers, in addition to a HDMI port, a VGA port, and 2 USB 2.0 ports. The GPU is not as good as it should be,

Online poker traffic plummets 22% after Black Friday
Two weeks after the online poker world was rocked by the seizure of PokerStars', Full Tilt Pokers', and Absolute/UB Pokers' domain names, as well as the indictments of several founders and owners of these sites the online poker industry is starting to get a glimpse of just how important the US market is to online poker.
Despite several poker rooms still serving US customers, the fallout from Black Friday has seen the online poker world lose 22% of its overall traffic according to the most recent report by the online poker tracking site www.pokerscout.com.
The good news is that the US market no longer makes up the overwhelming majority of the worldwide online poker market, and appears to be only about 1/3 of the total market share –taking into consideration the 22% loss along with the amount of traffic at the current crop of US-friendly online poker sites. So it appears that online poker will live on with or without the US market.
This is also good news when you consider there is another large segment of potential online poker players from the US who were already sitting on the sidelines, either fearing the legality of online poker, or simply unwilling to jump through the myriad of hoops necessary to deposit and withdraw from an online poker room. Should the US legalize online poker, it's quite likely that the global market would see 50% of its traffic coming from the United States.

16 Jan Was James Jesus' Brother?
Who is James?
As a derivative of the Old Testament name Jacob, James is an incredibly popular name in the New Testament appearing 40–60 times in reference to 5–8 different men, depending on which scholar you prefer.
The most famous and controversial of these men is purported to be Jesus' brother. On this point, debate ensues with three basic lines of thinking:
- James is a son of Jesus' adoptive father, Joseph, from a marriage prior to Mary, which would make James Jesus' older stepbrother. There is zero evidence for this view in Scripture, and it is speculative at best.
- The words used in the Bible for "brothers" and "sisters" have a broad meaning and refer not to Jesus' immediate family but rather extended family members such as cousins. This is possible, but it is not the plainest reading of the Scriptures, and it is a reading often motivated by the desire to present Mary as not just a virgin prior to marriage but a virgin throughout the totality of her life.
- James is Jesus' younger half brother, born naturally to Mary and Joseph. This is the most probable view and results from the plainest reading of Scripture.
As a general rule, Catholics prefer views one and two and Protestants prefer view three. I was raised Catholic, baptized as a baby, and served as an altar boy while attending Catholic grade school for a few years and was told that Mary remained a virgin through the entirety of her life and was therefore incapable of bearing children other than Jesus.
Arguments for the perpetual virginity of Mary arose as early as the second century, became more popular in the fourth century, and culminated with the Second Council of Constantinople, which convened in 553 and declared Mary "ever virgin." Some early church fathers (such as Origen), some Catholic and Protestant theologians (such as Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and Wesley), along with the Second Helvetic Confession and the Geneva Bible also say that Mary was semper virgo ("ever virgin").
There are many Catholics who are born again, Jesus-loving Christians, but I was not one of them. I did not become a Christian with a true repentance of my sin and faith in Jesus Christ until I was a freshman in college. At that time, as I started reading the Bible for myself, I was surprised to read about Jesus' brothers and sisters. The following are the places in the New Testament that speak of Jesus' family. As I begin preaching through James, I offer them to help provide a context for who James is as Jesus' little brother for those who are interested to examine this important issue for themselves:
Jesus had brothers
Matthew 12:46–50: "While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, 'Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'"
Jesus' mother, brothers, and sisters disbelieved his claims at first
Matthew 13:53–57: "And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there, and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, 'Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?' And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.'"
Jesus' mother and brothers feared he had lost touch with reality
Mark 3:21, 31–35: "And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, 'He is out of his mind.'"
". . . And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, 'Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.' And he answered them, 'Who are my mother and my brothers?' And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.'"
Jesus had at least three brothers and more than one sister
Mark 6:1–6: "He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, 'Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?' And they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.' And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching."
Luke 8:19–21: "Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, 'Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.' But he answered them, 'My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.'"
Jesus' mother had some idea of his miraculous power early in his ministry
John 2:1–12: "On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.' And Jesus said to her, 'Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.' His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'
"Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water.' And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, 'Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.' So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, 'Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.' This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
"After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days."
Jesus' brothers struggled to understand him
John 7:2–5: "Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. So his brothers said to him, 'Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.' For not even his brothers believed in him."
After Jesus rose from death, his family worshiped him as God
Acts 1:14: "All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers."
The early church saw James as an authority to report to
Acts 12:16–17: "But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, 'Tell these things to James and to the brothers.' Then he departed and went to another place."
James helped lead an early church council and spoke with authority
Acts 15:12–21: "And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, 'Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
'"After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things known from of old."
Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.'"
Various leaders, including Paul, traveled to meet with James
Acts 21:17–20: "When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified God."
James was married
1 Corinthians 9:5: "Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?"
Jesus appeared to James after his resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:7: "Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles."
James was likely considered a peer to the Apostles
Galatians 1:18–19: "Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother."
James was among the most senior leaders in the early church
Galatians 2:7–9: "When they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles."
James considered himself a slave to his brother
James 1:1: "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings."
James and his brother Jude were powerful pastors
Jude 1: "Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James."
In the book of Galatians, Paul calls James "pillar." Outside of Scripture, from sources such as Hegesippus and Eusebius, it is reported that James had two other nicknames: "James the just," because he was so righteous, and "camel knees" because he prayed so much.
Lastly, it is reported that James was martyred by being thrown off the pinnacle of the temple, but did not die and was therefore stoned and clubbed to death. His brother Simeon stepped up as his ministry successor. If this extra-biblical history is accurate, along with the Scriptures, the picture of James is a godly and fearless man who died without ever recanting the belief that his big brother was God. Indeed, James was Jesus' bold little brother.

Journal entry Edit
While in Velen, Geralt stumbled upon a letter to a certain Molke. Figuring it was of no use to its addressee now, he took the document with him, with the intention of reading it at a later date.
I know you don't smuggle no more. That you've set aside plenty of coin and ain't interested in the risk, just wanna enjoy time with your wife and kiddies. But I gotta ask you for a favor. We gotta move a load - and it's the last, I promise. It's a simple job, couple of chests, risk's minimal and reward substantial. Please, do it - if not for the gold, then at least for old time's sake.
Though Geralt was not really in the mood for a swim that day, he did so all the same, and it paid off... swimmingly. He fished the chest out of the river and continued on his way, dreaming of how he would spend its contents...
Objectives Edit
- Read the letter you found.
- Find the sunken treasure using your Witcher Senses.

Today I learned something of intense significance; if you are good then even if the whole world is against you, one day you will be proved right!
My personal experience makes me believe that human beings are very strange. No matter how good you are with them, they are bound to hurt you (with only a few exceptions). Why is it that if you care for someone they just use you like a door mat, after cleaning their feet, they leave you full of dirt!
Drama is caused by exaggerated lies, unnecessary hatred, vicious gossip and pointless accusations. Some people make use of drama to get attention or sympathies while some use it to disgrace others; I, unfortunately, had to face both situations. Sometimes when jealousy and envy builds up, it causes man to change him into something so ferocious and troubling the he loses control over what he says and what he does!
The reason for sharing this with everyone is to show everyone that no matter how big the accusation, have faith in Divine Justice! If you face difficulties then be strong to deal with them. Learn to value your life, everyone has to face emotional stress, it's just how you deal with it. Whether you use it to grow stronger or to use it as an excuse for giving up!
I'll give you a tip, next time someone pisses you off or you think that "life is not fair", then please think about those thousands of people sleeping without shelter, having nothing to eat , yet they live each day with a new hope…! Live your life, don't give your enemies the contentment that they have accomplished in hurting you!
Or, like me, you can pray:"Lord, give me strength to accept psychopaths and annoying people I cannot change before I lose my temper and slap them! Amen!"

As you might be aware, Marion has been dragged into the Brangelina split drama, with sources claiming that Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie with his costar Marion. Cotillard took to Instagram to deny the claims, posting a lengthy message to dispel the rumors. "This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into.I am not used to commenting on things like this not taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love Marion"
The 40-year-old actress said it right! We're happy to hear about her pregnancy, and we wish her and her partner all the best ☺

Well that's that cleared up
Bonni Benstock-Intall of barenakedislam, who celebrates Hitler's birthday and wants to bring back the Nazis to run Germany, sometimes lets down her guard. She likes to pretend that she's a Jew (it does after all give great cover for her antisemitism), and any accusation of racism is met with the parrot-like refrain "What race is Islam?", whether Islam had anything to do with the racist incident or not. But sometimes she lets her true colours shine through. Bear in mind that Bonni is extremely quick to ban any commenter who expresses a view of which she disapproves (sometimes she insults them a bit first, but if they say something too outrageous, such as expressing scepticism about President Obama's being a Muslim, they're history).
So the comments under this post are very interesting. A commenter called TheRealTruth posts this:
The real problem is this is not about Culture but about Race and Ethnicity. Whites either need to realize that their Ethnicity comes first, then their Race, then culture (language), then economy, then everything else, or Whites have no nations, no languages, and no Cultures.
Either Whites realize that no one has a right to own property among us, lord over us, or tell our story, OR Whites become a hated minority.
What's even worse is Christianity will do nothing to prevent this. Christians deny people exist, unless they're a sacred minority. Christians have fetishized poverty to the point where Whites, in their success, become Ethnomasochists. I've struggled with this for some time and unless Christianity becomes ethnocentric for Whites and their Ethnicity (like the Orthodox denominations have attempted) then it's not going to provide any help. In fact, Christians will become virulently anti-White like they did during the Jamaican Insurrection, the End of Apartheid, and now during Immigration.
Another commenter called FreedomInAmerica.net responded "The Real Truth is you're a racist." For which he was attacked by several other commenters as a "leftist".
TheRealTruth comments elsewhere under that post that
What's worse is I've posted comments that make no bones about it – Whites have a right to exist and no one has the right to live among us. Because Whites are indoctrinated Ethno-masochists they will censor and shut down this speech. That will happen on these sites, the supposed saviors of Western Civilization. Western Civilization is White. Either you understand that or you're a Useful Idiot who is cowering from the labels created by people who fucking hate you.
Someone replies to him, and Bonni responds to that reply, but not a word of comment on "Western Civilization is White" or "No one has the right to live among us". Or to his response a little later to someone who remarks that "London is lost":
If it's lost then burn it to the ground. Destroy the water, power, and infrastructure. Destroy all Welfare Offices and Grocery Stores. When the immigrants shuffle out in confusion you kill them. Problem solved.
So actually Bonni is even worse than a Nazi: she supports a white supremacist who believes in destroying London, starving and killing its inhabitants of whatever colour, just to be sure of killing all the non-whites. Not even Hitler suggested destroying Berlin to be sure of killing its Jews.
But, you say, maybe Bonni was uncharacteristically asleep at the wheel: too busy inventing stories about barking dogs and dead flamingos. Well, then we come to these posts. This one, this one, and this one. Clearly Bonni is now being fed stories by a blogger going under the title Diversity Macht Frei. If that title rings alarm bells, a look at Mr DMF's blog does more than that. It is full of delightful Jew hatred. For example this where he refers to sites like barenakedislam as the "counterjewhad" movement. And then there's this:
It's not obvious why Europeans should treat Jews as people with an equal moral entitlement to themselves. These people, over the course of thousands of years, have maintained a pattern of temporary residence in other people's countries, a pattern that continues into the present day. Jacques Attali, a Jew currently resident in France, and in possession of the administrative status citizenship allocated by the government of France, summed up the Jewish attitude very well when he said: "A country, it's a hotel." For Jews, our countries may very well be no more than hotels. But for us, they're our homes.
Or this:
When will Jews accept that the antagonism felt to them is the result of their own actions and not some mythical irrational evilness? Jews are actively harming the interests of European peoples by promoting the suppression of their freedoms and attempting to alter the demographics of their countries against their will. Those who become aware of this pattern of activity inevitably feel indignant about it. There is no mystery here. There is no "ancient evil" at work. It is a simple conflict of interests between different peoples living in the same land. But one of the peoples has a moral entitlement to that land and the other doesn't.
Then there's this:
Note that it's considered acceptable to say that Jews are at the forefront in pushing "values" [essentially code for the multicult/human rights concepts that lie behind the European Genocide] as long as you praise them for this. If you make exactly the same factual claim, but view it negatively, you're an antisemite and must be ostracised and criminalised.
Or these gems from this post:
Jews keep making the same mistake throughout history. Like Muslims, they regard themselves as perfect and thus incapable of fault. Because of this, they cannot learn from their mistakes and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
"Antisemitism", defined as an irrational hatred, an "ancient evil", is simply a fable the Jews have concocted to delegitimise criticism of their own actions. If you think about it objectively, it is actually amazing that they have been able to get away with inventing a narrative so absurd. In reality, the antagonism felt towards Jews is explicable in wholly rational terms.
Which is exactly what Bonni says about "Islamophobia". Yet this guy feels exactly the same way towards Jews as he does towards Muslims. And Jews - not Muslims - are responsible for the "European genocide".
Strange that someone who pretends to be a Jew would link to a Jew-hating site like this, isn't it? Her own antisemitism only encompasses Orthodox Jews, Reform Jews, liberal Jews, left-wing Jews and Jews who keep kosher. She calls all these Jews "rats", blames them for the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust, and believes that they secretly control the US government. Hardly antisemitic at all really. But her promotion of this guy's site: that takes her Jew-hatred to a whole new level.
I thinl we may declare the myth of Bonni's Jewishness well and truly debunked.

This malboro tendril was dried in the sun, removing much of its scent. Used as a material in basket weaving and other handcrafts.
Malboro Vine (モルボルの触手, Moruboru no Shokushu?), also called M-Tentacle or Malboro Tentacle, is a recurring item in the Final Fantasy series. It is, as its name implies, typically acquired from the Malboro enemy and has varying uses, mostly associated with Poison.
Final Fantasy VIIEdit
Uses "Bio3" on all opponents
The M-Tentacles is a battle item, which deals Poison-elemental damage to all enemies with 48% chance of inflicting target with the Poison status, in essence being the item version of the spell Bio3. It can be dropped from the Malboro or Sneaky Step, or by stolen from the Malboro.

For refining purposes, Malboro Tentacle x100 can be refined into Moon Curtain x1, Malboro Tentacle x1 can be refined into Bio x40, and Malboro Tentacle x1 can be refined into Remedy x2.
Malboro Tentacle can be stolen or dropped from the Malboro. It can also be obtained by Card Modding Malboro Card x4 into Malboro Tentacle x1.
Final Fantasy XIEdit
Malboro Vines are dropped from members of the Malboro family, and are used by Alchemists to synthesize goods such as Hi-Potions. A variant is the Ameretat Vine, dropped from the eponymous relatives in the Near East; these vines are used in production of special high-level swords exclusive to Blue Mages.
Final Fantasy XIIEdit
The Malboro Vine is a piece of loot needed to unlock the Flametongue at the bazaar, along with a value pack of Hi-Potions and Smelling Salts. They are dropped by Malboros and Great Malboros.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant WingsEdit
A slender, scissile tentacle. Usually shipped by the Malboro Vine bunch.
The Malboro Vine is a high-ranked Material obtained during Mission 4-2, Summoning Melee (Cebe, Isle Of The Treasures), Mission 4-3, Mission 5-2, Monster Melee (Gugoza Falls), The Sword In The Shell, Monster Melee (The Ymir Qul Range), and bought in the Material Shop during Chapter 8 and later.

Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid fumes."Malboro" may derive from the Japanese onomatopoeia boro, the sound of an upset stomach. Their name is most likely derived from the Latin and Greek words mal (meaning bad) and boros (meaning breath), a reference to their infamous attack. The name could also be a reference to
- Dissidia Final Fantasy makes mention of Malboro Tentacles being used in many things in the summon files for the Malboro. Malboro wine is among the most famous of the products refined from the tentacles due to its pungent scent.

Okay my friend just found out her boyfriend (long distance relationship) lied to her about not hanging out with his former friend with benefits, who is apparently into drugs and was a stripper. She and him had a big fight and he agreed to not see her again but when she found out he was with her on the 4th of July, through a post on his Facebook with her tagged, it all came out that he never stopped seeing her.
My friend feels hurt and is confused, she says she really loves him and can't leave him, she has tried many times in the past and he always talks her into coming back, this time she is so unsure she says she wants to leave but I can tell she just doesn't know.
My place in all this, I am the guy she calls when she is upset, I get the 2am phone calls of her crying, I get 10am phone calls of her trying to sort out what she should do about the situation. She says she always turns to me because I calm her down, and I feel bad because I haven't been doing very good at that lately, partly because I have run out of supportive things to say, and partly because its hard to be much of anything when you are woken up right as you are sleeping.
What can I tell my friend who is going through a rough relationship?
Okay my friend just found out her boyfriend (long distance relationship) lied to her about not hanging out with his former friend with benefits, who is apparently into drugs and was a stripper. She and him had a big fight and he agreed to not see her again but when she found out he was with her on the 4th of July, through a post on his Facebook with her tagged, it all came out that he never stopped seeing her.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
I would say what I would do if I were in her situation: dump him and wait for a guy who'll treat her with the respect she deserves.
You can't really say a lot of things in that situation, just that she deserves better, that he's no good for her, that she'll end up hurt anyway so she might end things now before he'll hurt her even more.
But that could be seen as trying to break them up. So I would just say that once and if he still hurts her I'd say: you know what I said...
Apart from that you could tell her that she could try and work things out, but once the trust is gone it's hard to regain, especially when they live far from each other.
To be honest, I don't see a good future for them, but it's up to her to learn the lesson, either by you telling her or the hard way by finding out.
Just tell her how you feel about the whole situation and apart from that, tell her how much she's worth, that she deserves better and he's no good for her. That she should be treated with respect. The only other thing you can do is listen. Talking about it might make her feel better even if you don't have a lot of things to say.00|00|0
That's what I usually do, I just listen and try be be as calming as I can be, but her wake up call this morning, I tried to be like that and she said "I called you because you usually calm me down, but I still upset" And it bothers me, that I seem to not be having the same effect on her as I usually do
The only person that could make her less upset is that guy who's treating her like crap. So as long as he's in the picture, I think you're doing your best by being there for her, telling her the truth and listening to her stories. Unless that guy switches behavior 180 degrees and starts acting like a man instead of an ass, she'll be upset, hurt, crying and all over your phone...
Ask her if there's anything you can do for her. I don't think there's nothing much more you can do...
Tell her to leave him, and if not, to not bother you about her choices in stayng with a bad cheating boyfrend. And don't answer her call.00|00|0
I don't like telling her to leave him, if she wants to hear that her mother is always front and center to tell her that, I am not a person who won't answer when a friend needs to talk, I have told her eventually if she keeps on being with him I will eventually stop talking to her about it as there are only so many times I can tell her my same opinion and nothing has happened to change my opinion on the matter

Thank goodness it's Friday! We're starting off our weekend with a warm vanilla chai and today's hottest headlines.
The court hearing of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, has been delayed yet again. The original date of July 12 has been pushed back to July 20 to give Murray's lawyers more time to review video recordings of Jackson and his posthumous film, "This is It." [Weyburn This Week]

Hands-off control with ZyLink Bridge
Working in combination with the new ZyLink app, Zylight's new Zylink Bridge enables users to wirelessly perform 'precise lighting adjustments' for multiple Zylight fixtures via an iPhone or iPad. The manufacturer states that there are no routers required and no networks to configure to allow the app to 'talk' to the fixtures. Instead, users only need to turn on the lights, select one of the 10 ZyLink wireless channels and begin using the application. The app provides access to brightness and white light temperature controls, plus colour and saturation adjustments for the IS3, IS3c, Z90 and other models equipped with Colour Mode. It also includes four effects – crossfade, strobe, police, and flame – as well as presets to save repeated lighting assignments.

I've been dating this guy for a few months. I really like the guy, and he says the feelings are mutual, but I get the sense I'm just an option to him. In any event, we hang out on occasion, we've been intimate...but the last time we hung out, as he was leaving, he kissed me on the lips and then kissed my forehead twice before leaving. What was that?
On one of our earlier dates months ago, he'd done the same thing...a kiss on the lips and then a forehead kiss.
Does that mean anything?
Most Helpful Girl
awww. I think that is sweet. maybe he really cares or is being affectionate with you. he might have something on his mind. but if there is no hidden agenda there I think a forehead kiss is sweet.11|00|0

Amazon is reported to have two smartphones in development. Is Amazon developing a smartphone or is it developing its own smartphone business model?
At this point a better question might be - what is a phone and why would Amazon care?
Earlier this year a Wall Street Journal report described one of Amazon's smartphones to have a 3D screen that could project a hologram of objects that gave it a three-dimensional appearance from all angles without special glasses. Since then there were no further reports, until a short summary of Amazon's smartphone project appeared on Hacker News late Wednesday night from a newly created user account "Helvodka." It wasn't much information, but it was enough to spark speculation. The framework for speculating about an Amazon smartphone is Amazon's existing mobile products and services.
Amazon sells its line of e-readers that it just refreshed last week, with new 7-inch and 8.9-inch tablets and an update to the Kindle Fire HD. These all aren't really e-readers; the simpler Kindle is an e-reader designed expressly to replace printed media. The Kindle Fire HD and HDX are full-featured Android tablets with a much larger purpose. According to Amazon, the Kindle Fire HD family offers:
deep integration with the world's best content ecosystem—over 27 million movies, TV shows, songs, apps, games, books, audiobooks and magazines.
Kindle Fire OS 3 devices are really multi-purpose Android 4.2.2 devices. Users can install many Android apps via Amazon's app store, as well as browse the web via Amazon's Silk browser. The HDX tablets have cameras that Amazon promotes with Skype. A user can watch a video from Amazon on the Kindle Fire tablet or, using Miracast, send the video to a smart TV or large-screen TV equipped with a Miracast HDMI adapter to watch with family and friends.
Certain models offer LTE, so with a data plan from Verizon or AT&T users can take the Kindle Fire tablet and all Amazon's content with them when they leave home. Using Amazon's Whispersync service, content can be shared amongst users on a family account and between devices.
If Amazon decides to design and sell a smartphone, it will be an extension of what Amazon has already built. Mobile devices were initially intended to make telephone calls, but people seem to be doing that less and less. In fact, text messaging overtook voice calling on feature phones in 2008, according to Neilsen. Mobile devices today – meaning smartphones and tablets - are really great just as great for consuming digital media as they are for communicating.
The only smartphone feature besides voice calls that Amazon is missing is the greater portability of the smaller smartphone form factor. This is important to Amazon because it wants everyone with any smart mobile device to consume its content. With an Amazon smartphone optimized for consuming Amazon's content, users will consume more.
Amazon is likely experimenting with a three-dimensional user interfaces and displays to improve how users interact with its websites and apps. Because Amazon is good at working with open source code, as demonstrated by their fork of Android 4.2.2, if it is testing these advanced technologies, it is probably testing on an Android device. But Amazon is unlikely to introduce a smartphone built on these technologies anytime in the near future.
Amazon needs to drive more users to its content on the small and portable smartphone form factor devices. The company is probably testing to determine the best way to do this, be it through a smartphone or better apps for Android and iOS.
However, unless Amazon is certain that a smartphone will sell more of its digital content, it won't jump into the cut-throat competitive, low-margins smartphone business.

Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, Gospel Church Tudun Nupawa, Kaduna South local government, Kaduna State yesterday donated various food stuffs to host Muslim community where the church is situated.
Similarly, a Muslim society-the Nasrul-lahi-l-Fatih Society, NASFAT, also extended succour Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs from the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents in North East region by donating food stuffs and clothing worth N500,000.
Speaking during the donation of the items to the beneficiaries to the host community, the ECWA senior pastor of the church, Reverend Yunusa Nmadu Jnr. said the essence of the gesture was to further fostering religious coexistence, and a way of assisting the needy within the community in the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan.
Items donated to the beneficiaries comprising of persons both male and Female from the Panteka market union and the Tudun Nupawa community which host the church include rice, beans, maize, indomie, Millet among others.
According to Reverend Nmadu said, "The gesture by the church to provide food items to members of the host community during Ramadan is to demonstrate the Biblical injunction that we should love our neighbours as ourselves."
Speaking further, he said that it is important for the church to positively impart the lives of the people of the community; otherwise the church has no business to be there.
"We know that there are people in the community that require help in this month of Ramadan, which is why we have brought out quite a number of them to be given the food items. Apart from that, we have also embarked on this to show the world that peace is possible and that we are all peace makers by demonstrating it in practical terms," he said.
Nmadu also commended the reformation in the community, saying that "Tudun-Wada/Tudun-Nupawa which used to be in the news for the wrong reasons has since begun on a new slate devoid of violence.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, the Sarkin Dutse Alhaji Shaibu Balarebe, who commended the magnanimity of the ECWA church by the consistency of assisting his people during the Ramadan fast in the past two years, also disclosed that he inherited the protection of the church by his late father.
He said, he will not relent in protecting all within his domain, and claimed that sin is responsible for the insecurity in the country and urged all and sundry to turn to God in true repentance.
Most of the recipients of the food items, who could not hide their joy, thanked the church for the gesture towards them and their families.
In the same vein, Chairman of NASFAT, Kaduna chapter, Engineer Muhideen Alimi Yusuf while donating the items to the displaced persons at Danhono 1, New Millennium city layout area of the state, said it carried out the program to alleviate and improve the standard of living of the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs.
Chairman of the IDPs in the area, Malam Dahiru Saidu Mubi while receiving the items said it has over 2,000 IDPs and complaining bitterly about the deplorable condition where they have no shelter, food to eat.
He said the gesture is first of it kind to the IDPs in the area while he called on other well to do in the society to emulate the kind gesture of NASFAT.
Earlier, the Missioner of NASFAT, Imam Maroof Muh'dRaji, described the situation which led to their displacement as a "test" while calling on the well to do in the society to come to the aid of the persons to earn Allah's bounty reward.
"Share what you have with the needy for you to get the reward of Allah. We need to help the needy and the needy needs to help themselves too. They should be patient and live peacefully with people in the community," Imam MuhdRaji stated.
Items distributed include food stuffs, beverages, clothings and shoes among others.

text: Pacific Drilling S.A. (NYSE: PACD) today announced net income of $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share on revenue of $156.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. In the comparable prior year period, net loss was $12.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share on no revenue. CEO Chris Beckett said, "The second quarter of 2012 was a transition quarter as Pacific Drilling dealt with the challenges of the simultaneous start-up of the majority of our fleet. Operational performance improved throughout the quarter but is not yet where we want it to be. Problems with the blowout preventer on the Pacific Santa Ana experienced at the end of the quarter will negatively affect the third quarter also, with a total of 45 days during the quarter lost to BOP related repairs before the rig restarted operations on August 15. As a result of this downtime, our expectations for full year 2012 average revenue efficiency have been reduced from a range of 90% to 93% to a range of 86% to 89%, with a sequential improvement expected from third to fourth quarter." Mr. Beckett added, "During the second quarter, we continued to see favorable market conditions lead ultra-deepwater dayrates higher and encourage customers to inquire about rig availability in 2014. We were able to directly benefit from these market conditions when we converted a letter of award for the Pacific Sharav to a five year contract with Chevron for operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The contract provides for a maximum effective dayrate, including client reimbursements for mobilization and customer requested upgrades, of $590,000 per day. We are proud to have been selected once again to partner with Chevron. We are also pleased to be able to leverage the operations support infrastructure which we have already developed in the Gulf of Mexico region. In this strong market environment, we continue to have active negotiations and remain optimistic regarding contract opportunities for the Pacific Khamsin, to be delivered in the second quarter of 2013, and the Pacific Meltem, to be delivered in the second quarter of 2014." Regarding the operational drillships, Mr. Beckett commented, "The Pacific Bora and the Pacific Scirocco, having completed the shakedown period, delivered strong operating margin in the second quarter, in line with our expectations. In particular, Pacific Scirocco continued to exceed our expected revenue efficiency, and in recognition of our performance, the customer, Total, elected to extend the initial term of its contract on Pacific Scirocco to two years. The Pacific Mistral improved its performance during the quarter, delivering top quartile performance within the Petrobras fleet by quarter's end. Pacific Santa Ana, our fourth drillship, arrived in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and started drilling operations and revenue recognition under its five year drilling contract for Chevron on May 4, 2012." Second Quarter 2012 Operational Commentary Contract drilling revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $156.8 million including recognition of $23.9 million of deferred revenue for mobilization, contract preparation and asset upgrades. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our operating fleet of four drillships achieved an average revenue efficiency of 85.4% (a) versus our expectation of 91%. During April 2012, Pacific Bora and Pacific Mistral experienced several days of downtime to finalize upgrades to their blowout preventers (BOP) initiated during the first quarter of 2012. The resulting downtime reduced our average quarterly revenue efficiency by approximately 5% during the second quarter. During the second quarter, Pacific Bora achieved average revenue efficiency of 87.2%. Following the completion of the BOP upgrades in April 2012, and through the remainder of the quarter, Pacific Bora achieved average revenue efficiency in excess of our expectation and reached our longer term targets for operating expenses. Pacific Scirocco delivered average revenue efficiency for the quarter of 93.1%, in excess of our expectation of 90% for a newbuild's first six months of operations. Pacific Mistral produced average revenue efficiency for the quarter of 76.1% due to BOP related downtime at the beginning of the quarter. The rig continued to ramp up its operational performance as it completed the shakedown process and close out of Petrobras contractual upgrades, reaching target uptime by end of the quarter as well as reductions in operating expenses during the quarter. For the period from May 4, 2012, through June 30, 2012, Pacific Santa Ana delivered an average revenue efficiency level of 84.1%. Contract drilling expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $83.5 million, including $18.6 million in amortization of deferred mobilization costs and $5.9 million in shore-based and other support costs. Direct rig operating expenses were approximately $178,000 per day per rig, down from $190,000 per day per rig during the first quarter 2012, while our shore-based and other support costs also fell to $17,600 per day per rig, compared to $21,800 per day per rig during the first quarter 2012. The sequential improvements in contract drilling expenses were driven by significant reductions in costs for our rigs in Nigeria. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $10.8 million.

Smartphones today are all about speed. And as such, we've seen several devices around us that are capable of providing snappy performance. However, only a few of them stand out here and a new list has given us a very good idea to know how recent flagships have fared.
A test conducted by a leading tech site has compared the Galaxy S6 with the likes of the One M9, the iPhone 6, the Nexus 6 as well as the LG G4 and the results are fairly promising. According to this list, the Exynos 7420 running Galaxy S6 has managed to come out on top.
The LG G4 has surprisingly made its way to the second spot, thanks to its Snapdragon 808 SoC. The Apple iPhone 6 which uses the Apple A8 custom CPU configuration is at third place. The list is rounded off by the HTC One M9 (Snapdragon 810), Motorola Nexus 6 (Snapdragon 805) and the ASUS ZenFone 2 (Intel Atom Z3580).
Samsung has come a long way with the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge as far as CPU handling and UI performance is concerned. The Korean manufacturer will hope that this will positively reflect on the sales figures of the two flagships.
