I started to date a woman two weeks ago. She was ten years younger, but the chemistry was great. After the first date, we decided to see each other again the next week-end.
Friday arrived, she cancelled one hour before the date, but asked to see each other again the following day.
Then, the next day, she stood me up. I waited for her for about an hour, then called her, but she didn't pick up.
Back to my place, two hours later, I received an email with apologies, to which I replied that we could see each other anytime during the following week, but she would have to go to my city, as I wanted to be sure I wouldn't wait for nothing.
So she did suggest the very next day, and came to the date.
The date went perfectly well, I could find the same chemistry and body language. After the restaurant, we went for a walk, and I grabbed her by the waist. Then I found a romantic place, pulled her against me, she laid her head on my shoulder, I started to kiss her hair.
Then came the time to kiss her. To my utmost surprise, she rejected me harshly, the tone of her voice changed.
Since it was late and I am a gentleman, I drove her back to her place, instead of leaving her to her destiny. During the trip, I asked her what had happened. She didn't want to tell me, prefering to write to me instead. I said it was not an option. Then I could see an anger crisis, followed by some hysterical laughter for a minute. Then she finally told me she was attracted to me, but was feeling I was more attracted to her, and that it wouldn't work.
The next day, I wrote her an email, telling her that if she didn't want to see me, she had all the opportunities to tell me, instead of showing me that she was interested and coming to another date, letting me getting close, then blowing me off so awkwardly and I told her that this behavior wasn't acceptable. I didn't expect an answer, as it was clear I didn't want to see her anymore after what had happened.
To my surprise, she answered that I wasn't a gentleman, and a couple of other insulting things, which made me delete the mail without answering it.
Yet, I am pretty puzzled. I have seen my share of weird dating things, but this was a premiere.
What are your opinions, do you have similar experiences to share?
Most Helpful Girl
I as well agree that the age was the elephant in the room. This would be a good explanation for why she blew you off 2 dates in a row. She WAS attracted to you, so she gave it one last shot and was comfortable, til the kiss. That's when it really got to her again that you were so much older.
THEN you confront her about it in person, which is completely acceptable! The problem is that people are so wrapped up in communicating via text, email, FB, etc, that they are losing their skills to TALK to people in person! It's incredibly annoying.
So, she was too embarrassed and nervous to react normally or tell you how she really felt, instead you got the angry outburst/laughing episode. Poor thing probably just about had a heart attack lol. I still see potential for her to be a nice person, she just doesn't respond well to stressful situations. I know there are many other scenarios, but this is the one I see being the most likely.10|10|0
Interesting answer. I hesitate to agree, because she knew I was older than her from the start.
I could have accepted this version after the first date, but she came back for a scond one, so I won't take it as an excuse.
Stress or not, after I wrote her the email, the next day, she only answered to insult, not to explain or apologize. And in the insults, there was no reference to my age. So I don't understand where the niceness potential is.
- Show AllShow Less
People are becoming really really DUMB when it comes to communication. It was easier on her to NOT say anything in person, and be spiteful and rude later. I'm not saying it's acceptable or the proper way to go about things, but that's not going to stop people from doing it. I didn't call her 'poor thing' because I feel bad for her, it's because I pity her ignorance. You're surely better off without her. Her actions are not a reflection of you.
Thanks for the support. Maybe communication has just been subdued by violence. I don't know.
But you're right, even if it hurts (because of the way it happened, and not because it happened), I'm far better without that type of companion.

"Who is that?"
My grandmother was mortified. "Oh my god, your son doesn't know who Jesus Christ is," she said to my mother.
I grew up without any kind of religious belief. I couldn't have been more than six or seven when I realized that when I died I might cease to exist. The notion came upon me as a feeling of cold clean darkness. I used to lie in bed at night, thinking about nuclear bombs. I thought about thousands of nuclear bombs being detonated all over the world. I remember the image in my mind of mushroom clouds going up into a pitch black night alighting the land in deep red shadows. A great horror came over me, that everyone in the world would die and cease to exist. Just an eternal night that I wouldnt even know.
Being six or seven years old, it was at this stage in my conjectures that I began to cry. I would creep into my parents' bedroom around one in the morning, sniffling and frightened, and crawl into the bed between them. Sometimes I would beg them for assurance. One night (and I may have dreamed this) at some weary hour my exasperated father shouted at me that when you die you die and there's nothing.
I don't know exactly how this era in my life ended. It went on for a few months, until one summer day I said that if this is all there is, then at least it should be happy, and I should love all these tragic souls as best I could. I accepted the end.
That doesn't mean I stopped being afraid of ending. I think I was more afraid of the end and of pointless suffering, considering the implications.
Here, now as a grownup (at least biologically) I've come to see that there is something alive about me and everyone else that is a lot more profound than I understand. It is impossible for me to believe that the miracle of being alive at all is an accessory to biology. Rather, it is obviously the essence of biology.
That means I believe in god. I believe in a living spirit that transcends mere mechanics and creates all things. Yahweh, Allah, Atma, Tao, Great Spirit; praise be to all your funny names.
I've had many teachers, but my first and best church has been the woods. A tree is, in essence, the purest form of life. All it does is live and grow. It takes light and water and makes food for all life. It accepts all destruction and grows as long as it is able, without thought. It is basic innocence. Many trees together are a chorus of purity.
another kind of new testament
I looked for god everywhere, in my friends, in religions, in books, in my mind, under stones. I would find bits and pieces. I did not bother with Christianity because that was crazyshit, and I wasn't interested in crazyshit.
Truth is not contained in a book. Truth is as natural and indigenous to life as sun and moon. So is god. But humans are mortal and confused and imperfect and so their religions are all clumsy attempts at describing god. There are no false religions and no true religions. Like children learning how to draw pictures, human religions are gradual attempts at understanding and all religions are valuable as expressions of how god is understood in their own age. Our notions of god change just as our notions of earth, of art, of anything, change.
There are of course better religions and worse ones. Possibly one of the most irritating debates of modern times is between Objective and Relative truth. The answer is so bloody obvious it ought to be stamped on the front of every bible and the front of every postmodernism reader:
Truth is objective, the perception of truth is relative. As all humans are mortal and finite, everyone sees objective truth but they perceive it in their own way.
My hope for the future is that one day children will be given religious buffets in school. You will walk into class and several different religions will be taught. Now the Bible says this, and the Buddha says that. Questions like,
"If Coyote met Jesus at a barbecue, what icebreaker would they start the conversation with?"
But after many years of disregarding Christianity, I've decided to no longer draw my conclusions from the solid foundation of wilful ignorance. I actually read the Bible and the truth is it is a very spiritual book.
The Bible is the story of a little people called the Jews. It is about their beliefs in the origins of the world and the history of their people. The Jews are underdogs. Its a book about people struggling between the good and evil in themselves, always falling short of what they know they should be: honourable, loving and spiritual in the best sense of the word. In this history is a beautiful intermingling of humour and madness, generosity and fanaticism, wisdom and delusion. It is possibly the most profound book ever written, and now it seems no surprise that it has been responsible for the two most dominant religions in the world today (Christianity and Islam) neither of which is believed by the Jews, ironically.
But the enduring story in the Bible, the common theme is the relationship of god and humanity. The Jews are a people who are passionately obsessed with their god and regarded god as their rightful king. Perhaps quite understandably, the Jews believed that god was as obsessed with them as they were with him.
Then one day a little man who came from some hick Jewish village, told the Jews he was their god and he had some things to add. He told them that all was forgiven, that god loved them as a father loves his children and that they had a responsibility to realize their natures as children of god and make the world a paradise (the Kingdom of Heaven). So they killed him.
The Jews didn't kill him, incidentally. The Romans actually tortured and killed him. But the Romans were bigger and stronger than the Jews, so it was easier for a lot of people to blame them.
The early Christians added their accounts of this little guy to this great, passionate story of god and humanity and for two thousand years now the book of a small, insignificant tribe has endured and spread to every corner of the globe. It has been the foundation of countries, influenced millions and millions of people, it has inspired massacres, profound acts of kindness, scientific discoveries (Newton and Kepler spent their lives trying to understand god and inadvertently discovered gravity and the laws of planetary motion, respectively), oppressions, peacemaking and vicious ignorance. The Antislavery movement in Britain was championed by the Christian Quakers while many of the enslaved tribes were annihilated by Christians who saw them as demonic for their pagan religions. The vast history of this book is as complex and powerful as the story itself.
The attraction to Christianity for me is this powerful idea of a loving god who has a very personal relationship with you. And god is god, not nature, not a human, but supernatural, literally, greater than the world as it is perceived.
My repulsion to Christianity is its exclusivity. The only truth comes from the Bible. Everything else is at best useful or at worst demonic. When you read the Bible, from Genesis to the preaching of Jesus, you understand that you believe this or you're screwed. The trouble is I know that isn't true. I've found real spiritual education in sweat lodges, buddhist meditation, in the lectures of Atheists and of course walking the forests of the earth. According to Christianity there is but one path to god and it is through the Bible and Jesus Christ, but I think what many Christians fail to see is why Jesus taught in parables.
Why did Jesus teach in parables? Because he understood that the spiritual world does not function the same as the natural world, though I believe they are intrinsic to each other. You can't teach spiritual lessons the same way you teach people to count or build a retaining wall. You have to reach a part of someone's being that spends a lot of its time sleeping or half-awake (the spirit). So he tells stories about mustard seeds or a farmer and his sons. Everyone knows Jesus isn't talking about a real guy or how to plant a crop, he's talking about how life works spiritually and morally.
Jesus isn't unique among religious teachers in this respect. There are hundreds of oral and written traditions around the world that use this same method and for the same reason. But Jesus was one of the wisest and greatest of these teachers, and I think he understood his role of waker-upper better than anyone. He was ruthless in teaching people to wake up to their greater natures, constantly urging people towards purity and god. His teaching is so powerfully direct it can single-handedly transform a life or destroy one.
I do not believe that the Bible is the source of all truth about god, or that Jesus was a manifestation of god, whose martyrdom took all transgressions away from humans who accepted him as their king. The troubling aspect of Christian teachings is that it is so unequivocal it easily divides the world into Christian (towards god) and Non-Christian (away from god). I think Christians suffer from a jingoism (e.g. words like covenant, revival or the Word) which is indicative of cultish tendencies rather than spiritual teaching. There are moral and historic assertions in the Bible that are clearly cultural and have no spiritual validity unless it is rationalized by modern thinkers. I think the idea that Christianity is the only true religion harms its spiritual purity rather than preserves it, for this seeks to capture god in a book and if the Bible has taught me anything it is that god is vaster than the horizon, more profound that the wisest teacher, and god loves and embraces all things that live, Christian or not.
So in honor of that great teacher, I'll leave you with a little parable:
There was a farmer who had two sons. The farmer told his sons, you are both restless and irritating me, go out into the woods and play.
So the two boys left the house and went into the forest to play. After many hours of running through the trees, they looked up and saw the sky darkening. The boys realized they were lost. When they were nearly in tears from fear and worry, they heard their father's voice calling them from far away. His voice was strong but it echoed strangely off the trees and the hills of the forest and sometimes seemed to be coming from one path or another. Each boy heard the sounds coming from these different paths and in a panic ran blindly along, each taking a different way. Finally they both emerged at far ends of the forest from each other and saw their father standing at the edge of a field, his hands cupped around his mouth and calling them.
Both boys were covered in cuts and bruises from their urgency. The one brother called to the other and said,
"You took the wrong path! You cannot get to father that way!"
The other brother said, "Of course I can, I can see him as well as you!"
But the first brother argued, "Look at you, covered in cuts and bruises! And see, there are ditches and thorns in this field between you and father! Go back into the forest and come the way I have come and I will tell father you are coming!"
And the second brother said, "That doesn't make any sense! The same ditches and thorns stand in your way as well, and you too are covered in cuts and bruises"
The two boys stood there arguing until the father yelled,
"What are you arguing about? Get over here!"

Gainesville, Fl's Young Livers have dropped us all a little info about their plans for 2009 including writing and recording the follow up to their successful debut The New Drop Era for No Idea Records as well their upcoming tour plans with Coliseum and Virgins.
Matt Farrell from the Young Livers had this to say about their plans:
"We had a little bit of time off from the band due to some injuries (someone is accident prone in the band). Now Mike Carter (Glass & Ashes) is back here and we are in the full swing of writing a new record. We are going to demo some of the tracks in March maybe post some parts of them, not sure. We have the Harvest of Hope Fest (March 6,7,8 www.harvestofhopefest.com) and a tour with Coliseum afterwards we will be heading to California to record with Armand John Anthony at Satellite Studios in Ventura CA (recorded the last Glass and Ashes record) in the beginning of June. The majority of the material is written and we are all excited to write an entire record with a bass player this time through. As it stands right now we will have more tracks on this record than the last and maybe some to spare."

I like watching movies a lot. Syria has become topical (to say the least) and there have been a number of subtle mentions of Syria in new Hollywood movies, not to mention in the TV series Ancient Aliens. Some of these interpretations almost rival the creativity of 'reports' in the mainstream news on Syria. Westerners might also be interested to hear that Syrian TV interprets western events and has its own version of Game of Thrones. [Candobetter.net editor: New title replaces the old title which was "How Hollywood and Ancient Aliens do Syria and Syrian TV does Trump".]
Press Statement Lays Groundwork for US Attack. Raising speculation that the US is about to attack Syria again, the White House has issued a statement late this evening accusing the Assad government in Syria of conducting "potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack," claiming that such an attack would involve the "mass murder of civilians, including innocent children."
John Pilger and Vanessa Beeley talk about the amazing growth in mass-media supported war propaganda in our times, including the grotesque fantasies manufactured about Russian intervention in US elections and the creation of a false cold war. Vanessa Beeley describes how, when she was in Aleppo, she was witness to the absolute fabrication of what was happening there. And now, the almost complete silence on what seems like American ethnic cleansing of Arabs in Raqqua - where the US is using depleted uranium, phosporos weapons and not providing any humanitarian corridors.
The regional and international standoff headed by Saudi Arabia against Qatar is not going to be resolved anytime soon. What does the simmering crisis mean? And why has Donald Trump taken the Saudi side? CrossTalking with Sharmine Narwani, Mohammed Cherkaoui, and Foad Izadi.
Interview with Vladimr Putin by NBC News propagandist Megyn Kelly, text published on the website of the President of Russia, June 5, 2017 - https://www.newcoldwar.org/valdimir-putins-televised-interview-on-nbc-june-5-2017/, and a link to Excerpts from transcript of Megyn Kelley interviewing President Putin, et al., St Petersburg International Economic Forum plenary meeting, June 2, 2017 - https://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/54667. (If you cannot reach the Kremlin site, try dropping the s in https. We have put the 's' in because of inflexible Firefox padlock tag rules.)
The Democrats and Soros-backed groups are desperately looking to impeach Trump. The US activities in Syria offer the perfect opportunity, but of course Trump's enemies won't pursue it because they are right behind the US-NATO war crimes in Syria. It is ironic that, when Trump is really doing bad illegal stuff, he is also doing the will of the Democrats. This would be because the external policies of both political parties are driven by the Deep State. A further complication is that, if Trump could be impeached, then all those behind the illegal war on Syria would also be in danger of pursuit under criminal law. Automatic transcript provided.

By my own measurement the 4 Corners 'report' Syria's Disappeared - The Case Against Assad gave Syrian President Bashar al-Assad all of 40 seconds – 10 seconds near the start and 30 seconds near the end – to answer claims that his govenment had imprisoned, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of his own people as well as the more recent fraudulent allegation that the Syrian Army had used Sarin gas in Idlib province.

Dr Paul Craig Roberts is interviewed by Julian Charles of The Mind Renewed, UK, for his explanation of President Trump's about turn on all foreign policy. The conclusion is that Trump has been sidelined and others have taken over his role at the White House. The term 'coup d'etat' is not used, but that is what is assumed. Paul Craig Roberts also suggests that the only hope of reducing the United States' dangerous power is for Europe to decouple from it. He says that we cannot hold out hope for the UK to do anything because they are completely tied to the United States, but that if the anti-globalist parties, notably the French National Front, win in Europe, there is some hope that Europe will draw back from the USA-dominated EU. Australia and Canada are held responsible, along with some European leaders, for inexplicably enabling this dangerous situation by supporting the United States in its illegal wars. First Published on Saturday, 22 April 2017 20:50 at http://themindrenewed.com/interviews/2017/1035-int130
This letter to a high profile pacifist on a Canadian peace activism email list highlights the problem within the international peace movement where some 'leaders' turn a blind eye to the egregious flouting of international law by the United States, NATO and their allies. You would think that peace activists would be highly informed on the propaganda aspect of war, and the role of mainstream press in this, but it seems that this basic education is lacking even in the upper echelons of the movement. By ignoring the illegality of recent attacks on Syria, some in the movement have again helped brutal Takfiris in their effort to take-over secular Syria. Peggy Mason is President of the Rideau Institute of which Ceasefire Canada is an arm. Ken Stone is Treasurer, of the Canadian Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War.
MIT Professor Theodor Postol suggests two inquiries into alleged 'verified evidence' of chemical attack by Assad in Syria: One international probably under the UN, where the Russians and Americans can provide their input and a second American investigation to find out how such a false report could be generated at the highest levels of the US government. "This is very serious. This confrontation with Russia has some potential to escalate and, if it's escalating over false intelligence claims, that is very serious."
Days of incessant propaganda from the ABC, SBS and all other mainstream media toeing the Trump/US Establishment line on chemical weapons in Syria, without any overt logical basis, prompted the author to make a complaint. David Macilwain was in Syria in 2010, corresponds internationally with diverse people concerned about Syria's rights, and has visited Russia twice in the past three years, in a quest to discuss and share views on current events and to build up contacts who might be interviewed by the Australian press rather than the narrow sample usually referred to.
As we watch the mainstream newsmedia step up their promotion of western government narrative in a kangaroo court on President Assad, more and more high profile people are coming out saying how implausible the mainstream line is. Those people deserve our support because the mainstream newsmedia and government are going after them precisely in order to deprive the rest of us of informed debate. One example in Australia is how the Sydney Morning Herald has published an article citing infotainment and advertising placement specialists, Associated Press, and PolitiFact, a corporate press network propaganda outfit, as authorities condemning Professor Tim Anderson's work as 'conspiracy theory', implying the same for some associated academics. Tim Anderson is in a unique position to judge conspiracy, having been convicted then freed after a conspiracy portrayed him as guilty in 1990 over the 1978 Hilton Hotel bombing in Sydney. It is thought that the Australian Government organised the Hilton Bombing as a false flag. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Hilton_Hotel_bombing The failure of the Sydney Morning Herald article fails to analyse Professor Anderson's arguments, preferring simply to condemn him via a press organisation and a propaganda outfit, is a hallmark of 'Fake News' and propaganda. The Sydney Morning Herald's inclusion of an old overturned conviction for Tim Anderson without further explanation seems gratuitous if not designed to damage the standing of his opinion. On the 17th and 18th of April, the Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies will be holding a two day conference at Sydney University on the Syrian conflict: http://counter-hegemonic-studies.net/syria-conf-program/. This event is endorsed by Sydney University's Political Economy Society. We at candobetter.net do not necessarily endorse everything that comes out of universities, because these have now become strongly commercialised and mainstream-politicised, but we do endorse this conference because Tim Anderson's book, The Dirty War on Syria comes from long study, many documented visits to Syria and interactions with the Syrian community in Australia, and uses logical and documented arguments, unlike the Sydney Morning Herald or the Australian Government. We are also impressed by Sydney University's support for academic free speech.
How shallow the ABC's Mediawatch ('Media war over Syria' [11 April 2017]) treats such an important issue, the 6 year long war against Syria. They have cobbled together a few tweets so as to defend the war story of the US and Australian Governments, and the state and corporate media (ABC, BBC and UK Guardian) which faithfully reflect that line.
On April 7th, US warships delivered an illegal blow to a Syrian airbase in Homs. Their justification was the recent "chemical weapon" attack on behalf of the Syrian government in Idlib. The Kremlin condemned the strike as an act of aggression against a sovereign state, and a violation of international law. Meanwhile, at the UN, representatives of Western governments attempt to push through a resolution that is based on information taken out of thin air. It includes the removal of Assad, whether or not he was behind the attack. CBS News reporter: Russia says that the airstrike on Khan Sheikhun took place between 11.30 and 12.30 pm. Medics on the ground say that the hit happened hours before that. How so? This is one fascinating question posed to Russian foreign affairs minister, Maria Zakharovna at a press conference on 5 April 2017. See inside the article.
Syria has censured a US missile attack targeting an army airbase near Homs as an "act of aggression" against the country.
"A US act of aggression (was committed) against Syrian military targets, using several missiles," said the Syrian state TV right after the US announced the attack.
The attack drew the applause of the foreign-backed opposition, which called for continued US military action against the Arab country.
The state TV quoted a Syrian military source as saying that US missile strike on a Syrian air base had led to "losses."
Homs Governor Talal Barazi also deplored the aerial assault, saying the attack serves the goals of Daesh and other armed terrorist groups operating in the country.
Lee Ann McAdoo and Owen Shroyer do a fantastic in depth analysis of the history and current stories on chemical weapon use in Syria. The best I have seen. And they take Trump to task. And finger McCain. Alex Jones, who produces Infowars, has been an ardent Trump supporter and some people feared he might get his journalists to pull their punches on Trump if Trump stepped out of line, but this is disproven here.
It is weird that the mainstream press and the US-NATO war machine continue to put out the same stories as if they were spambots. You would think that real human beings could come up with something more convincing. It is known, however, that people tend to believe a message they often hear repeated, to the detriment of their own eyes and reason, so perhaps this is the intentional modus-operandi of the US-NATO-military industrial media complex. The only way to combat the oft-repeated lie is to repeatedly question it, which we are doing here. Once again the US-NATO deep state war-machine has tried to use the UN like Lucy's football for Charlie Brown, to give authority to accusations against the Syrian government which it actually has no reliable basis for. The consequences could be truly awful - but what do spambots care about World War 3?
Recording of a timely and important interview with Tony Kevin, author of Return to Moscow UWA 2017. As a young Australian diplomat, Tony Kevin visited Brezhnev's Soviet Union in from 1969-1971. He returned on official business in 1985 when Chernenko was in power, then again, very briefly, in 1990. During these times he was not able to get to know the Russians due to the policy of both governments against fraternisation, thus Russia ironically became a source of growing fascination for him. He continued to inform his fascination from many sources, always at a distance. Concerned today by the threat to peace from US-NATO anti-Russian propaganda, and more fascinated by Russia than ever, he returned on his own to Russia (no longer the Soviet Union, of course) in 2016. Return to Moscow examines past and present attitudes to the people of Russia and to its leaders through empathic eyes and an understanding of the change in geopolitics from cold war to US interventionist.
On Putin: "Not since Britain's concentrated personal loathing of their great strategic enemy Napoleon in the Napoleonic wars was so much animosity brought to bear on one leader. Propaganda and demeaning language against Putin became more systemic, sustained and near universal in Western foreign policy and media communities than had ever been directed against any Soviet communist leader at the height of the Cold War. This hostile campaign evoked an effective defensive global media strategy by Russia. [...] A new kind of information Cold War took shape, with - paradoxically - Western media voices more and more speaking with one disciplined Soviet-style voice, and Russian counter voices fresher, more diverse and more agile." [Cited from Tony Kevin's book.] The interview in the video took place at Russia House in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia. It was organised by Claire Woods of the Traveller's Bookstore. The interviewer was Associate Professor Judith Armstrong, former head of European Languages Department at Melbourne University.
Don't mention the role of war in climate change and economic devastation. Why we shouldn't believe that the US military establishment is sincere on its warning to Trump (and the rest of us) on climate change. I would once have swallowed this whole. A bunch of military men from prior US administration proselytise about climate change on this 4Corners program. Of course they totally ignore the role of war in carbon emissions which is probably the greatest contributor to carbon emissions. This is my reaction to the Australian 4Corners program of 20 March 2017.
Disappointing to learn that Trump's troops are in Syria without permission. Today, 11 March 2017, in a Chinese publication interview (conducted in English), Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad described the US incursion into Northern Syria from Raqqa as 'raids' which he did not think would succeed against ISIS because they are not coordinated with the Syrian government and army. He said that Russia's military manoeuvres against ISIS have been successful because Russia coordinated with the Syrian government and troops, and was invited. Assad said that he had been more hopeful about the Trump administration vis a vis Syria but that he has yet to have any direct (as opposed to indirect and unreliable) contact with Trump. Asked whether he had opened the door to these American troops, Assad said, "No, no, we didn't. Any foreign troops coming to Syria without our invitation or consultation or permission, they are invaders, whether they are American, Turkish, or any other one."
Is Trump just falling in line with the evil establishment and going for more 'regime change' in Syria like Obama who preceded him? Is this another illegal invasion of Syria by the United States and NATO? Probably not, because the Syrian President would have complained, but has said nothing. Neither has Russia. Nor has Turkey. Something new is going on in Syria and it may actually be good. Could the end of this terrible war inflicted by US-NATO upon Syria finally be in sight?
Brilliant Iranian interviewer Kaveh Taghvai's questions on the subject are inspired in this debate - more of a discussion - between J. Michael Springmann, a former US diplomat, and Michael Lane, the founder of American Institute for Foreign Policy, both from Washington. The two guests and the interviewer all have an unusually deep grasp of the drivers of turmoil in the region and of the foreign players involved. We get some very interesting new perspectives and interpretations of the latest moves around Syria. For instance, Turkey's position is often hard to fathom. We know it wants to take land from the north of Syria, whilst pretending to be maintaining safe zones. We know it wants to drive the Kurds back, but the usefulness of the refugee camps for Turkey as a military buffer may not have occurred to everyone.
On February 8, 2017, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma al-Assad (the one with the pony-tail) met with women and children who were held in captivity by Islamist militants for more than three years. It is common for Syrian citizens to embrace the president and his wife like cousins, even on first meeting; this is a closeness within Syria. These civilians were kidnapped by the jihadi groups in 2013, when the last ones attempted to capture several towns in the northern countryside of the Latakia governorate. The prisoner swap between the Syrian authorities and Islamists was concluded yesterday, with each side pledging to release 54 women detainees. Thus, the insurgents will set freee 54 women who were kidnapped from northern Latakia countryside in 2013, in exchange for the same number of women imprisoned by Syrian authorities. On August 2013, a coalition of Islamist 'rebels' wich at the time included the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) launched a powerful assault to conquer the city of Al-Haffah in Northern Latakia. Although the assault was successfully repelled by government forces, the jihadists brutally massacred and kidnapped hundreds of civilians from Alawite-inhabited villages before leaving the area. This article features a short and a long video. The short video has English subtexts. The author of this article has translated the long one and provided the text of President Assad's words to the women inside this article.
This well explained debunking comes from from Syriana Analysis
This story originally published 8 Feb 2017 at American Everyman with the long title: The Farce that is Amnesty International's " Human Slaughterhouse " Study: It is, Quite Literally, Fake News Gone Viral. There was massive mainstream news yesterday (8 Feb 2017) of Amnesty International's report of 13,000 prisoneres hanged by the Assad Government during Obama's US regime. The next day, however, the story has been relegated to the back pages and some publications have actually pulled their aritcles. This is because there is zero evidence for the report, which, if you actually read it, claims nothing specific at all. Read Scott Creighton's article inside to know more. [Candobetter.net editor: We have included at the end of the article the request for donations from the original publication site, because this was integral to the original article.]
For those rare individuals who like their news direct from the source instead of twisted by the biased mainstream media, this interview with Assad covers a new range of questions and answers. Assad denies that his family has any ownership of the presidency. He gives a clear account of how he came to be a presidential candidate. He attributes' Syria's ongoing problems to European and United States sponsorship of al-Nusra affiliated terrorists and ISIS. He says he would have no problems in stepping aside if someone else was elected as President of Syria. He says that 'the new U.S. administration' gave some cause for hope, during the elections and after. And much more. No Australian politician has ever been interviewed at this depth, to my knowledge.
In a 27 January talk for the Edinburgh SNP Club former UK ambassador Craig Murray appears to reveal that contacts within the BBC have admitted to him that events featured in Ian Pannell and Darren Conway's 29 August 2013 BBC News report about an incendiary attack on a Syrian school were "exaggerated" and that some parts were "filmed again".
[...]John Kerry himself [...] admitted, in a meeting with Syrian opposition, the Obama administration saw the ISIS advance as a positive development: "[W]e know that this was growing, we were watching, we saw that DAESH [ ISIS] was growing in strength, and we thought Assad was threatened. [We] thought, however, we could probably manage that. Assad might then negotiate."(By "negotiate," Kerry meant "capitulate"—negotiate the terms of his abdication.) For the Serious People in Washington, this—the impending takeover of Syria by ISIS and Al-Qaeda jihadis—meant things were going swimmingly.

HP Elitebook / Win7pro, 4GB, IE9. I've got 2 with the same issue and 2 without. Same domain, same rights and policies.
The issue (very specific):
The users navigate to yahoo travel, fill in the correct parameters...submit the request and can't get a response from the site.
I've reloaded IE9, cleared cache, matched all settings with a functioning, working / similar laptop.
I've tried chrome, safari, firefox with the same result. I've deleted all of the 'HP security' fluff.
These user are not complaining about an inability to navigate or retrieve requested info from any other site (yet).
Could be proprietary yahoo function or I've missed a security setting.
I'll try any suggestions.

I have not had this particular problem, but I have seen, on my home system running IE9, Yahoo mail (almost) always tells me that I need to upgrade my browser to "the latest version" of IE in order to display mail correctly. I don't have the issue at work on IE 9, and I never had the problem on IE 7 or 8. Chrome and FF don't give me the same message.
I wonder if it's a problem with the browser identifier string in the registry. I can't recall what key it is though...
Feb 10, 2012 at 9:48 UTC
Check the security tab of internet options? Maybe there is something not set to default, or you need to add the sites to the trusted site? IE9 has been a little sticky with our sales staff laptops here as well.

Roll back to IE8, we had to due to multiple issues with IE9 and Intranet websites.
Hate to say it, but I have to agree. I had a couple users, plus myself, guinea pig'n IE9 for quite a while. I still have it installed, but rarely use it. I had to roll back my users as they could not do their day-to-day jobs with it. IE9 is just not ready for rollout for a lot of companies out there. Literally, 40% of the websites my users need every day just do not play nice with IE9. In fact, many will state that on their main page. "IE8 and previous versions only."

the dylan roof shooting is the shooting in charleston where he killed 9 people in a church the shooting was racially motivated as in he hated black people so whats you're opinion on this shooting
Most Helpful Guy
My oppinion on the shooting itself? Obviously it's terrible, that someone would do this is awful. No excuses.
As far as media and people's reactions, people are acting dumb.
To the people saying the media shouldn't call this terrorism... Why the hell not, yeah it was racially inspired, but so was Tusla Oklahoma, why don't we get real and acknowledge terrorism that's ravially baded is a thing.
To those saying that mentally illness is a false term tossed around when the culprit is white supremecey how the fuck is white supremecey or any racism not considered a mental I'll ness in today's society?
To those who say this is getting too much attention? NO just shit up, it was awful and sometimes we need to be reminded of what happens, that said I wish the victims got as much press as the shooter
For those attacking the confederate flag... Wow you really think that flag inspired nurder? No. And the civil war was about way more then slavery whatever you may choose to believe.00|00|0

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Some quick Ducks notes on a muggy Saturday in Music City as they prepared for Game 6 against the Nashville Predators …
— Facing elimination after a gut-wrenching 4-3 overtime loss on Friday night, the Ducks changed things up by canceling their practice session and opting to just have a team workout in gym.
Some of that could be the fact that Sunday's game is a 5 p.m. start here, just as it was for Game 3. The Ducks had went through a lengthy practice on the Saturday before and proceeding to play their worst game of the series in a 4-3 loss.
The main reason is that Game 5 was draining physically and, more important, emotionally.
"What I spoke about was being able to turn the page on the game last night," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "We knew we were coming here today anyway. And we're not happy with the events that transpired last night.
"We knew we would have to come back here to play so that's our focus. Come back and play the game. Other than that, just take a little bit of time today to rest the soul, rest the mind. Recharge the batteries and get ourselves ready to play tomorrow."
— Bobby Ryan said he's thrilled at the reaction he's been getting about his highlight-reel goal in the third period, which gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead that didn't last.
"It's been pretty cool," Ryan said. "Obviously I didn't talk to too many people last night. But getting off the plane today, there were about 40 text messages. It's a cool feeling obviously."
Ryan's goal had hockey fans and commentators firing off messages on Twitter and congratulating him through his account. It was a stark contrast from the comments he received after stomping on the foot of Nashville's Jonathon Blum that got him suspended for Games 3 and 4.
"I couldn't even read through it," he said. "It was too much. It was pretty cool though. It was a nice reaction from fans. I really enjoyed it. It's nice that I can change the past week of it with [what] the comments have been into something positive.
"I try to get back to as many as I can. It's tough."
— The Predators ranked 21st in the NHL in scoring, had a power play that was fifth-worst in the league and fielded a roster that had no player scoring more than 50 points. And yet they have become an offensive juggernaut in the series by scoring 18 goals in the five games.
It says that Nashville has more skill than perceived but it is also an indictment of the Ducks' defensive game, which has made costly errors throughout the series. The breakdown that led to Jerred Smithson's one-timer for the Game 5 winner is a clear example.
"The issue for us is we've scored enough goals to win most of the games," Carlyle said. "We haven't prevented as much as we need to. I think we've given up 18 goals in the five games. So that's over 3 ½ goals a game. And that's not good enough."
— The griping and posturing that took center stage midway through the series died down considerably as there were no noteworthy incidents in Game 5 to get riled up over.
In fact, Carlyle wouldn't mind having referees Kelly Sutherland and Wes McCauley do more games as he was downright complimentary of their work.
"It was one of those hockey games where they were a lot looser in the things that had transpired," Carlyle said. "I thought the officiating did a great job in the game last night."
— According to The Tennessean, Predators winger Martin Erat skated on his own in the morning but remains day-to-day with an upper body suffered as he was on the receiving end of Jarkko Ruutu's open-ice hit in Game 4 that got the Ducks winger a one-game suspension.

We present a fast 64b adder based on output prediction logic (OPL) that has a measured worst-case delay of 409ps, equivalent to 4.7 FO4 inverter delays for the TSMC 0.18/spl mu/m process that was used for fabrication. This normalized delay is 1.45X faster than the fastest previously reported 64b adder. The adder uses a modified radix-3 Kogge-Stone… (More)

Harrison Knigt, born Heinz Ritter, was the grandfather of Gabriel Knight
The son of Karl Ritter and brother of Wolfgang Ritter. He was a poet and had composed a book of poetry, and the poem "Drei Drachen".[1] When he lived in Rittersberg he used to sit in the chapel to relax. He "wanted out" the Schattenjäger business but didn't really escape it.[2]
He left Germany and migrated to America. While he was still "fresh" off the boat, he fell in love with Ester Wright whom he met at a revival. They married despite her family didn't approve.
They didn't have much money. He worked odd jobs, and they moved a lot. He and Ester were close, but he always kept his past in Germany a secret from her.[1]
He died in his mid-thirties of heart failure and Ester was left to raise their son, Philip Knight, by herself.
Among the things Gabriel inherited from him was a German-English dictionary which he kept in St. George's Books.[1]
Ester kept a trunk with his belongings in the attic, and she told Gabe to skim though them and take whatever he wanted. Gabe took the poem book by Heinz Ritter,[3] and later he found a letter from Karl and a photograph, realising that Harrison and Heinz Ritter wee the same peson.[1]
During his initiation, Gabriel has a vision in the chapel, in which he was in the passenger seat of his Granddad's car, and has a chance to speak with him beyond the grave. He asked Gabe or forgiveness for leaving them, and for not preparing his father to know what he should. He also told him that he shouldn't wait for Wolfgang; Gabe must poceed with the initiation himself as Wolfgang will be in danger and is going to need Gabe.[2]
Personality and traitsEdit
Heinz Ritter enjoyed driving his car. He was often dressed in a casual white cotton knit polo shirt and loose khaki pants. A straw Panama was perched on his head and Indian-grass loafers were on his feet.[2]

Sony Xperia Z Review
0. phoneArena posted on 13 Feb 2013, 10:56
A new flagship model, a new Xperia phone is here to try and overpower the dominant species. Is that even possible? Why, we say nothing is impossible! Ladies and gents, we're giving you the Sony Xperia Z!
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

The hottest phone for CES 2013 scored only 8.5 hmmm
14. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Warned over-excited ppl. about the issues covered in a pre-release review a few weeks back, but hey. I'm only here to say I was goddamn right! :D
25. aayupanday (Posts: 580; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Completely agree with what you said but I've got an awkward feeling that this is the device that'll be coming in my pocket (if this 5" behemoth fits in. Haha)....
69. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Well maybe the Sony fanboys will shut up for a change now.
130. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Doesn't look like that at the moment lol.
146. wendygarett (unregistered)
I just don't get it, everybody bash this phone just because camera sucks and tend to ignore the build quality of the handset... this phone is water resistance and dust resistance and hence it create hype... you pay higher price because of this... Everybody want this mostly because build quality... im not going to be spec slave and I'm gonna get this for sure
163. JC557 (Posts: 1794; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
For some reason I have a feeling that the water/ dust proofing had an affect on the camera as not many mil-spec phones have excellent call or photo quality.
It could also be software related. I'm sure we'll find out in the future.
217. ravearamashi (Posts: 11; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
What if all flagship this years are water and dust resistant?
64. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
phonearena did not do a very good review. look at the gsmarena review. phonearena did not even do benchmark tests. the XZ totally owns the gs3, note 2 and other phones in the tests even though it has to process 1080p res. they even point out that sony managed to squeeze out more juice from s4 chipset than any other phone manufacturer. optimization at its peak i say.
113. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
Xperia Z benches higher than a Droid DNA and Nexus 4. The s4 pro is far from outdatted the snapdragon 800 is only 40% faster with a better GPU. If you get this phone you will be good to go for 1-2 years and be able to enjoy any games android has to offer. People always forget that optimization matters, phones like the S2 might be old but they can still play all the newer games smoothly.
152. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
Really my post.. and rest in peace my dna has better benchmark than xperia z and i can post a video of it any time
154. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
gsmarena says screen was not grt and camera is not yet tested .... xperia z is late and dissappointment.. DNA is better and M7 the one will crush it into pieces..
263. gboo2565 (Posts: 10; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
I'm with you..I think DNA still has the best screen around.
151. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
What are you talking about ....DROID DNA has better benchmarks.
My DNA has
21 - 22 k antutu
8.1 k quadrant
31 fps glbenchmark
and javascript performance of xperia z is too laggy to compare.
it looks gsm arena was afraid of dna and did not put its benchmark next to xperia z.
191. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
who says that xperia z javascript performance is too laggy to compare? and the benchmarks of both devices are almost equal except in antutu where xperia z wins by a large margin and quadrant where the droid dna has a higher score. and these are just benchmarks, when you start to compare them as devices, did you forget that droid dna has ONLY 11 GB non-expandable user accessible storage. i dont know about you but i think its totally stupid coz that 1080p screen can only be bragged about if you use a lot of media and games, which can easily take upto 1 gb of space each. you are going to run out of space in no time. and while the xperia z camera is not all that it was hyped up to be, its way better than the droid DNA's. the water and dust resistance is another plus for this device. winner: xperia z
218. ravearamashi (Posts: 11; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
The benchmarks doesn't even matter. If the phone is already running smoothly on JellyBean, then any amount of quad core or more powerful processor won't even be distinguishable. It's about software features and that's what Xperia Z is lacking. Why on Earth does Note II sells more units than Optimus G and DNA combined when in fact both phones are technically superior than Note II in terms of specs and screen? It's because of the features. Multiwindows, Touchwiz UI and so on
257. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
Agreee... Note has more feature than any other phone but DNA has much better GPU
258. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
I say, javascript is too laggy to compare.
javascript lower is better... and xperia z had 1.9k vs just one 1.2 k of dna..
1.You have no idea.... The Antutu benchmark of DNA is 21- 22k... for antutu v 3.x, what you see in old reviews is antutu version 2.x.. where all phones had lower score I can post a video anytime to keep your mouth shut.
2.SD.. Agreed.. but you dont know that international DNA\butterfly has SD card..so you fail again.
3. Camera of xperia better than DNA... dream on.. i can see pathetic pics and videos of xperia every where..
Screen is not good either even by gsmarena..
So DNA is still best on the market.. XPERIA is a let down
265. drzonw (Posts: 12; Member since: 14 Jan 2013)
I have to agree with some of the comments above. The hardware specs themselves aren't that important as long as the phone works like it should - it's lag free and runs apps and games without hiccups. And I think the score is justified, for a top of the line, newest, flagship phone, it doesn't really blow the competition away. 8.5 is all it deserves. If the newcomers from samsung and others don't offer anything better, they should have a lower score than this.
81. Ray.S (Posts: 388; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
When you think about it, there wasn't much competition at CES 2013.
123. AshishRomea (Posts: 145; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
who made yo author ? your anti sony , can be seen in your rview.... we have seen a great review from GSMARENA , STUFF , T3 & futher we shall wait for CNET , ANDROID AUTHORITY & OTHERS
156. samystic (Posts: 231; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
review is balanced... take your hate back to your cave and learn english, please... don't come to this website if you don't like things here
276. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2227; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
Lol, calm down, you can't do anything about that :p
132. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
What about the Ascend D2 or Lenovo K900?
Also, the first 5" flagship is the Oppo Find 5 but hey, I like your balanced no-nonsense review.
153. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
they are all from non popular OEM, anyways dna released before has better becnhmarks
174. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Um no, Huawei is a bigger smartphone maker than Sony according to latest numbers.
90. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Well, there weren't very many flagship phones at CES to begin with... SO saying it's the best from CES isn't saying much.
5. aayupanday (Posts: 580; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
What ?!?!??
You've got to be kidding me !!!
18. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
When hype vs. reality fights, reality usually wins. :)
It's still a very nice phone, and my issues are less about the review point. I don't like bad viewing angles, Android buttons takes space off the 5" screen (especially if rivals could place it under without increase of size) plus all these covers over ports. In the end, as good an advertisement feature as water resistance is, if you find your phone underwater you're doing something terribly wrong
It's a well-rounded device as other reviews pointed out, but not perfect, you choose this, the DNA or the Find 5, and you'll be happy. But right now, as I've been saying for a while, it is worth waiting to see what Samsung and Motorola has to offer.
29. aayupanday (Posts: 580; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Completely agree with what you said but I've got an awkward feeling that this is the device that'll be coming in my pocket (if this 5" behemoth fits in. Haha)....

Chandigarh, Oct. 20: With a corruption crackdown threatening to snare its top leadership, the Shiromani Akali Dal has abandoned its restraint and issued a list of demands to the Congress government to avert largescale unrest in Punjab.
After a political affairs committee meeting that stretched beyond midnight and resumed this morning, the Opposition party has announced a statewide agitation on October 28 against the dictatorial rule of the Congress government.
The decision to go on the offensive coincided with the arrest of an Akali Dal leader and former minister Jagdish Singh Garcha yesterday and repeated assertions by the government that former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal would be arrested soon.
Garcha was the fourth to be arrested from the erstwhile Badal ministry.
The Akali Dal said its agitation would put to shame even the morchas launched against the dictatorial rule of Indira Gandhi during the Emergency.
I will not allow the Amarinder government to get away with the broad daylight murder of democracy, human rights and civil liberties and will force it to learn not only basic lessons in civilised behaviour. I will also remind the Congress of commitments it made to the people during the run-up to the polls, Badal said.
To begin with, we will hold dharnas in all subdivisions on October 28. Later, we will launch a forceful, democratic, mass movement from November 15, if the Punjab government did not restore all the pro-people policies of the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP government, including free power and irrigation for the farm sector, and put an end to the atmosphere of confrontation and bitterness injected into the state polity by the chief minister, Badal said.
Badal said a meeting would be held at Alamgir in Ludhiana tomorrow to give final touches to the line of action and the partys strategy in the face of the repressive Congress onslaught against Akali leaders and workers.
He demanded that the programme of implicating Akali leaders in false cases be put to an end to and cases withdrawn.
Commenting on the threats to arrest him, Badal said: There is no question of my seeking anticipatory bail. Let them come and arrest me. I am not running away from anything.
They somehow want to put me and my whole family in jail, which is why they are trying their best to prepare a false case against me.
Badal alleged the state government had put him under surveillance. My movements, my telephones are being tapped, he said.
Amarinder has declared a war not only against the Khalsa Panth but also against each and every section of Punjabis. The Shiromani Akali Dal, as the principle Opposition party in the state and as a champion of the interests of the people of the state, accepts his challenge. From this day onwards, it is the might of the state at Amarinders disposal versus the power and spirit of the people of Punjab, Badal said.
Asked whether the dharnas would trigger violence like some of the earlier Akali campaigns, he said: We are committed to the path of peaceful and democratic but forceful and relentless struggle against injustice, tyranny and repression. We will be drawing inspiration from the ideals of waging a righteous struggle against forces of evil and these ideals are enshrined in the history and heritage of the people of Punjab and in the teachings of the great gurus.
The Akali Dal political affairs meeting was also attended by Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee president Kirpal Singh Badungar and Union minister Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.
Badal said the Amarinder government had thrust the course of confrontation on the Akali Dal. We have no choice but to resort to an agitation to get the Congress to implement the promises it made to the people during the run-up to the elections, he said.
The Akali Dals other demands include immediate payment of Rs 20 per quintal of paddy along with the minimum support price announced by the Centre, compensation at the rate of Rs 5,000 per acre to drought-hit farmers, rollback of sales tax between 4 and 8 per cent on fertilisers and pesticides, postponement of agriculture loan repayments and waiver of interest this year.
Badal also demanded an end to what he termed the governments interference in the religious affairs of the Sikhs. He said the surveillance imposed on SGPC members in the form of unsolicited security cover was an attempt by the chief minister to browbeat elected soldiers of the Khalsa Panth.
False cases being registered against members of the SGPC and their family members, including children, must be withdrawn immediately, Badal said.
