Alfred "Bucket" Carter, a gifted storyteller who paraded for 75 consecutive years with the Young Men Olympian Jr. Benevolent Association, died March 9 of heart disease outside his doctor's office. He was 80.
The club, like dozens of other New Orleans "social aid and pleasure clubs," holds an annual parade; it also takes part in funeral second-line processions for members.
"He was the ambassador of the old second-line," said Bertrand Butler, a Young Men Olympian honorary member for 25 years. "He danced the original way, the classy way."
At funerals, Carter taught younger members how to step to the slower dirges that bands play for funeral processions.
Carter grew up in New Orleans near South Liberty and First streets, where his mother ran a beauty salon. As a young man, he was hired as a laborer at the K&B Warehouse, a job he would hold for more than 30 years.
Outside of work, he focused on his church and on Young Men Olympian, with whom he started parading when he was 5. He prided himself on being with the club's First Division, which always led the parade in traditional dress with a traditional-style brass band.
"He was the face of YMO," said fellow member and trumpeter Gregg Stafford, noting that for Carter, the club went far beyond fans and alligator shoes, because Young Men Olympian, unlike most social aid and pleasure clubs, continues to serve as a benevolent society, caring for members when they're sick and when they die.
So if Stafford was touring the world playing music, Carter kept his friend's dues current until he returned. When new members joined, he explained the club's role and the importance of its bylaws.
Carter often noted that the various clubs' almost weekly parades were six hours long for decades, until the 1960s, when Police Superintendent Joseph Giarrusso announced that the parades would be trimmed by two hours. It was an ultimatum that the clubs accepted because they had no choice, he told Tamara Jackson, the head of the New Orleans Social Aid and Pleasure Club Task Force, when the clubs were discussing whether to sue the city over high parade fees in 2007. "Keep fighting. It will benefit everyone," he told her.
Carter never missed YMO's September parade. "He didn't miss a year. This guy didn't waver," said his longtime friend Norman Dixon Jr. Even last fall, as his health became frail, he insisted on participating, though he rode most of the parade route in a car.
"My daddy was 80, but he thought he was 20. He was young at heart," said his daughter, Nitra Crowder. In fact, on the day he died, he had turned down a ride to his regular doctor's appointment, saying, "It's a sunny day. I'll take the bus." When he got off the bus near the doctor's office, he collapsed.
For decades, Carter was a consistent, charismatic presence at the city's Sunday second-line parades. He met both his wives at the processions.
As his health declined, his family began to fret about him going to parades and standing in the hot sun. Still, he would manage to sneak off. "We would go to church, and then he'd tell us he was going to visit his friends," Crowder said. "When he came home, we'd find out he'd gone to the second-line."
Carter also served as a sounding board to nearly everyone who knew him. "I don't get the guys with the baggy pants, but he did," Dixon said. "He had open ears and a way of communicating with people of all ages." In conversations, Carter often put the present into context by telling stories of the past. "He always said, 'If you know where you came from, you know what you're a part of,' " Dixon said.
Survivors include his companion, Ruby Picot; two sons, Drextel and Carl Stewart, of New Orleans; three daughters, Crowder of Plano, Texas, Chiquita Press, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and Belva Carter, of New Orleans; a sister, Lodellia Evans, of Houston; nine grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Israelite Baptist Church, 2100 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Visitation will begin at 8 a.m. A traditional jazz funeral procession will begin at noon.
A repast in his honor will be held afterward at the Young Men Olympian Junior Benevolent Association Hall, 2101 S. Liberty St. Interment will be in the Young Men Olympian tomb in Lafayette Cemetery No. 2. Gertrude Geddes Willis Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Since I've been talking about traffic and traffic generation, I thought I let you in on something I recently came across.
It's called "$365k Blog Traffic Formula"
I will tell you in a minute what this is all about, but first of all let me tell you what this is not!
This is not one of those ebooks which you can find free on the Warrior Forum or on other sites.
If you always wondered what the blogosphere heavy hitters do to attract mountains of cash and generate massive traffic on a daily basis, then look no further.
The best feature in this 70-page printer-friendly PDF book is the actual content – 7 pro bloggers revealed the secret to their success, how they attract free traffic and where do they get it from.
And how this helps you?
Well, if you could just talk to one of these guys for a few minutes then you could learn one or two methods to better monetize your blogs by attracting more quality traffic.
What that means is this – you won't have to pay these pro bloggers consulting fees, you don't have to attend their seminars and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home.
You can actually download the book immediately and implement these traffic-getting strategies to your own blogs; that's almost like stealing as the whole package costs only $37, one-time. That's less than $6 per interview.
I think you will NEVER have the chance to talk with a pro blogger for $6, not even if you only had one question to ask!
What I also like about "$365k Blog Traffic Formula" is the two additional interviews included as complimentary gifts. I think these interviews alone are worth far more than the asking price, and I'm not the only one saying that.
What I don't like about this product is that it doesn't include an interview with my other favorite blogger [@CopyBlogger.com], but I guess you can't please everyone, and hopefully there'll be an add-on or version two update soon.
It's in your best interest to put your hands on "$365k Blog Traffic Formula" today if you want to learn from the best in the field: Chris Garrett, Daniel Scocco, Darren Rowse, Jack Humphrey, Jason Katzenback, Matt Garrett, Yaro Starek. Get it here

Alt.support.crossdressing could be a valuable resource for a lot of people.
There is an opportunity here for a profoundly oppressed class of people to
find pride and happiness. It is a shame to see it laying unused, with only
sporadic conversation and very few real discussions. The potential here is
enormous… why are we wasting it?
The current state of this newsgroup has been almost entirely engineered by one
individual (Diane Lask). For nearly 10 years now it's been her pattern to
attack any crossdresser or transsexual who shows any sign of coming out of the
closet. The ones who are out of the closet get the treatment she's given me…
lies defamation, insults, slander, frame ups… she doesn't care how she
discredits us, so long as we don't actually get it together and form a
cohesive group. Nobody really knows why she's doing this, in fact I seriously
doubt SHE knows why she does it… it appears to be a mental illness with her,
at the very minimum she's a very aggressive stalker. Over the years a couple
of troublemakers have picked up on her game, they come and go, they spout
their c*** and get tired of it but Lask is always here.
The troll/stalker's main tactic is that instead of refuting your points of
discussion they attack you personally. They KNOW it lands right on your pride
and they KNOW you will react strongly to being slandered. It works even
better when they lie about you because now you are both defending your honour
and correcting disinformation… But –believe me– it never works, never
has, never will… the minute the slander jock dumps on you the lie is out
there and whatever you say in response will be seen and depicted as denial or
cover up. The more you try to correct it, the worse it gets. By the time you
write that first rebuttal, they've got you and they KNOW they've got you. Not
only are you arguing with them personally… you are no longer providing
support and comradery for your peers. Every time you respond to one of them
you are giving them exactly what they want!
Yes, it took me 10 years to figure that out. The whole situation is totally
entrapping and when in it one doesn't think clearly about what's really going
on… and it took several weeks without a computer in the house before I
finally saw the situation for what it was/is. I was being mercilessly played
with by a psychopath and a bunch of "mee too" fools who thought they'd join
the fun.
But, the fact remains… the situation here is almost entirely the result of
her constant interference with reasonable conversation. The way to end it is
provided in the software we use to read these newsgroups. It's variously
called a "Kill File", "Bozo Bin", "Ignore List", "Blocking Filter", etc. Look
around your menus, almost all newsreaders have them… To make this newsgroup
back into a decent place to discuss crossdressing and transgender identity,
just put the idiots in your Kill Files and carry on.
For example: In Forte Agent, just right click any message, slide down to
filters and click on Add Kill Filter. Troublemaker gone.
Be aware that when you do this, the fuckwits will escalate their attempts to
get a rise out of us. They will post wilder and longer messages, more often.
We are after all depriving them of their kicks… like an addict they are
going to up their efforts to get a "fix". Things are going to get ugly for a
while, but you won't see it because of the kill filters you've set up. Let
them rant and rage, let them say what they will… eventually they will get
the message and they WILL give up. Many have come and gone here, none of them
have persisted beyond being ignored… Kill Filters do work.
This newsgroup has been very easy to troll, in large part because of the timid
nature of it's participants. Someone looking to screw things up only has to
post a couple of messages and everyone runs for the hills. Sadly this is a
pattern in the transcommunity, we simply give up and retreat whenever the
slightest thing goes wrong. So long as a troublemaker can get such a big
"bang for the buck" response, they will continue to harass this group. If
this newsgroup is ever going to be anything but a waste of disk space, if WE
are ever to be anything but a community of cowards, hiding in closets and
scared of our own shadows, we have to stand up to this kind of adversity. We
have to do it here and we have to do it in real life.
In the big world the way we stand up to bullies –and make no mistake this is
school yard bullying at it's most childish– is by simply carrying on with our
lives. These people pick on us because they think us unwilling to stand up
for ourselves. We send off signals that literally tell these people "It's OK
to mess with me". We send them by our demeanor, an attitude and a posture
that says "I have something to hide" which just begs some people to get on our
cases. We signal weakness and they attack, just like a pack of dogs attacking
a wounded animal. If we stand up to them they will almost always back down,
surprised by being confronted. Just like in the school yard, the way to beat
a bully is to not let them beat you.
The same applies here. Usenet may be less important than real life (or at
least it should be) but I can think of no better place than here to take those
first baby steps towards dealing with the shame and fear that lets these
bullies have their way with us. Here, of all places, it is relatively safe to
stand up to these fools. The same anonymity and distance that makes them
brave can make you brave… and the best way to demonstrate that bravery is by
IGNORING the troublemakers. Confrontation is what they want, disruption is
what they want: to stand up to them, don't give them either. Like you would
with a bully on the street, give them the exact opposite of what they want.
In this case, that means give them nothing. If you see someone attacking
another person personally, just skim your menus, put them in your kill files
and continue on talking to your friends as though nothing happened. If you
are personally attacked, simply toss the fool in your filters. The biggest
disappointment in their lives will be that you don't respond…
Bullies, especially the online ones, derive power from getting people to yell
at them. The only real power anyone has here is the ability to p*** someone
else off and the troublemakers count on that as part of their own happiness.
They are at their best when we are at our worst. But, when we are at our
best, they can do their worst and all they will do is disappoint themselves.
The simple "lack of response" tactic is the only and best response you can
give an online stalker/troll/bully/troublmaker/f****** or whatever you want to
call them.
Think of the potential here… we could be discussing transgender rights,
transgender equality, getting out of the closet, dealing with spouses and
others who need to know, ways to live openly transgendered lives and on and
on. This newsgroup could be at the center of a truly cohesive movement that
ends centuries of oppression, fear, shame and guilt. It could be the doorway
out of the closet. It could be the birthplace of transgender pride. Instead
it lies silent, almost entirely because of the efforts of a single
–admittedly persistent– troublemaker who can be gotten rid of as easily as
applying a few mouse clicks…
I've had all the known flakes in my kill files for a couple of months. There
have been a few very pleasant conversations here, even a little dissention
without the place erupting into flames. If you do the same, it can be like
that all the time… We CAN make good use of this group and lets face it, we
all know there are plenty of others subscribed but too timid to post. The
answer is to read for a while get the idiots in your kill files before you
ever post… then join in!
So what say? Game to set up some blocking filters and have some real
conversations about crossdressing and transgender issues…
The idiots can't hurt you if you don't see their spew…
Phnxbldrt 2007-05-08 21:10:52
Hi Laura,
I am finally getting it. Diane has posted nothing but hate mail for you.
I think itas time to ignore her but how do I set up Netscape to do
that? I dont see an ignore feature or kill file feature? Ay hints for a
netscape user?
L d blake 2007-05-08 21:12:12
Yep, now you're getting the idea. Notice also that I haven't responded to any
of it in over 2 months. Lask can rant and rage all she wants…I won't even
see it, her garbage is deleted a mere fraction of a second after it's
downloaded. (Notice the improvement in my mood?
Well, hon, not to blow you off or anything but I'm not a software helpline and
I don't even play one on television.
The only software I have current information for is the software I'm actually
using (i.e. Forte Agent). So the best I can suggest is that you break all the
rules and actually read the help files…
24hour free helpline, advertised on their web page and ask them how to do it.
(FWIW… their website actually brags about "Easy Filtering"… so it would
be, like, really stupid of them to not explain it in their helpfiles.)
Secondly, if you are doing web reading, like at Google, you're SOL for filters
unless the webpage itself provides them (Google doesn't). The only working
answer is to get newsreader software instead of reading from webpages.
Dawn 2007-05-08 21:13:03

Me too… their website says they have them… but I don't know where.
….and welcome back! How's things been?
L d blake 2007-05-08 21:13:38
"News" only if you actually believe the c*** on that website.
Please do the smart thing. Toss the f****** in your kill files and let this
group go forward without us having to contend with you responding to the
bullshit anymore. A response –any response– is all Lask needs… it doesn't
matter who responds, or in what manner… all she needs to get her hate-fix is
to know she's being read.
Bernadette… if you want to see a new and better experience here, you NEED to
stop responding to Lask and her kind.
Stop feeding the trolls!
Phnxbldrt 2007-05-09 21:57:25
Hi Laura,
You're not blowing me off you just didn't have the answer. But thats ok.
I figured it out. I am now trying Outlook Express it has a block sender
feature. Thanks

L d blake 2007-05-09 21:59:39
Yeah that's it… that's my story and I'm sticking to it
Actually it's been some time since I used Netscape mail and, you're right, I
really wouldn't know how to set up filters in it.
OE is OK… just be sure to turn off the function that automatically opens
attachments… it can result in viruses being installed on your machine.
As an alternative to all the above, you might like to try Forte Agent, you can
download an eval copy at www.forteinc.com I've used most of the readers at
one time or another and, personally, I like the Forte product best. "Free
Agent", their give away version doesn't have filters or archive blocking so
you will need to get the full shareware "Agent", Version 1.8 is the best, if
you can find it. (Drop me an e-mail and I'll reply with some setup tricks I

Secularism, Beer and Bikinis (2011-03-09)
AKP member Ahmet Hamdi Çamlı, who used to be a driver of Turkey's President but at present seems to be a member of the Youth, Sports and Culture Commission of the Ministry for National Education,(1) has now also made the news in Turkey.
And this driver-turned-official has namely made a number of remarks relating to the Ministry for National Education's decision to include the teaching of the concept of Jihad in Turkey's schools. On Friday, 21 July 2017, Çamlı told the press the following: "[w]hen you look at the Ottoman sultans, almost none of them performed the pilgrimage in order not to take a break from jihad . . . There is no use in teaching math to a kid who does not know the concept of jihad".(2) While it is true that no Ottoman Sultan has ever undertaken the holy pilgrimage to Meccah, the reasons were more likely practical that concerned with upholding jihad. The Ottomans did not see themselves as mujahids (practitioner of jihad or striving in the way of God), and did not employ the concept of jihad in their war efforts till the late 18th century. Quite some years ago now, I talked about the concept of jihad (Originally published on 18 September 2010): "[n]owadays the term jihad is much bandied about and used and/or abused at will by Muslims as well as non-Muslims the world over. The historian and Islam specialist Mark Sedgwick maintains that the concept of jihad was developed in the 8th century, when it basically functioned as a 'mixture of the Army Regulations and the Geneva Conventions, appropriate for the circumstances of the time'. At the time of the Islamic conquests (7-8th centuries), the world was divided between a House of Islam (Darülislam) and the House of War (Darülharb) and international relations between both spheres were primarily military in nature. But as the centuries progressed and relations between Muslims and the outside world achieved a quasi-peaceful status quo, punctuated by commercial exchanges and trade links, the idea of jihad changed as well. There is the well-known distinction between the greater jihad (al-jihād al-akbar) and the lesser jihad (al-jihād al-asghar), between a personal struggle in the way of Allah (crf. Surah 29:69) and an armed struggle to protect believers against oppression and violence perpetrated by unbelievers. In other words, jihad evolved from a code of war into a defensive mechanism, tantamount to a religious duty leading to religious rewards".(3)
Ghaza not Jihad
Back in the 1930s, the Orientalist Paul Wittek 'proposed his Ghazî thesis to explain the sudden and apparently inexplicable emergence of the Ottoman state at the end of the 13th century. The Austrian historian and Orientalist argued that the Ottomans, [had been] imbued with a Ghazî spirit, meaning a zealous warlike attitude brimming with a glowing fervour for Holy War [or Ghaza, in Wittek's wording], necessarily carried the day at the time. Wittek thought that Ottoman Ghazîs possessed a clear advantage over their contemporaries as members of a polity that had always been inspired by a fanatic enthusiasm for conquest, booty, and expansion'. Ghaza and not Jihad had been the Ottomans' raison d'être acccording to this Orientalist. And this opinion was adopted by historians and Ottomanists alike. In due time though, authors like Rudi Lindner and Cemal Kafadar offered a somewhat different perspective, basically debunking the whole Ghazî ethos and spirit, but popular opinion still seems largely beholden to this interpretation. With regards to the application of the concept of jihad in an Ottoman context, we have to wait till the year 1774. At that stage, Sultan Mustafa III (1757-74) was waging war against Catherine the Great (1762-96) and the Ottomans were on the losing side. As a result, Mustafa III had his Sheik-ul-Islam issue a call for jihad to defend the Ottoman Empire against a victorious infidel, the Russian Empire. After all, according to Islamic theory jihad is a defensive mechanism . . . following the Prophet's death in 632, the first time Muslims declared a jihad was in the year 1099. The Crusaders besieged the city of Jerusalem in the period 7 June – 15 July 1099 before conquering the third holy site in Islam. In response to this calamity, Muslims rulers called for a universal jihad to liberate Muslim lands from the hands of Christian infidels . . . but the reconquest of Jerusalem did not take place until 2 October 1187.(4)

Diane Abbott, the Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington and shadow Home Secretary, has now come out to say that "Grenfell Tower is not just an accident; Grenfell Tower is not just an unfortunate incident. Those hundreds of people that died are a direct consequence of Tory attitudes in social housing . . . The Tories think people in social housing are second-class citizens. And, as we have seen from Grenfell House, they are offering them second-class standards of safety. So, a direct consequence of that. A direct consequence of outsourcing . . . and a direct consequence of deregulation".(1) In contrast, the official narrative of the disaster holds that its death toll is limited to 79 . . . As Abbot points out though, "I think we are going to find that the numbers of people that have died will be in triple figures, just because it's a 23-storey [sic] block".(2)
Adding insult to injury, as noted by the Independent's Greg Wilford, a "wealthy Kensington resident claimed she would leave her luxury block of flats if victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy were given shelter there, telling a radio host the accommodation 'shouldn't be given for free'. The woman, called Donna, asked LBC listeners to 'stand in my shoes' as she complained that her council tax bill might increase if people were re-housed in her building, which she said has a £15,500 annual service charge. She told radio host Shelagh Fogart she would be 'resentful' if those who lost their homes in the recent fire were allowed to move in because she has worked 'very hard' to afford her property".(3) Trying not to appear like the heartless bitch that she is, the woman called Donna explained that her "service charge bill, and this is a low one this year, is £15,500, and I would feel really resentful if someone got the same thing for free. I feel sorry for those people, but my husband and I work very hard to be able to afford this".(4)
In a clear effort to convince the world that even moderately rich people are scum of the earth, the woman called Donna next went to great lenghts explicating her lack of humanity on the radio: "And for someone to get it free . . . I would move. Our council tax bill is very, very high, our service charge bill is very, very high, so why should someone get it for free? I know it sounds harsh, believe me I feel sorry for those people, but I work very, very hard and so does my husband . . . I'm not hard-hearted, but When I'm paying that kind of money and someone else is getting it for free, if you stand in my shoes you can say that because you're not. It's like paying a rent to stay in your house, £15,500 a year".(5)

On 20 June 2017, the EU Rapporteur on Turkey Kati PIRI (S&D,NL) made the following remarks: "All the groups in this Parliament have a different position about what should be the future of EU-Turkey relations. While we see that the Commission and the Council are actually silent about what's going on in Turkey I am proud and of course it was the toughest battle to make sure that Parliament speaks with one voice. One voice of concern about the human rights in Turkey and one voice that it will have consequence's on the accession process. So, what we adopted today says, if the constitutional package will be implemented unchanged this means that we will have to lead to the formal suspension of the accession talks with Turkey . . . If there is a suspension of the accession process, automatically you also have a suspension of the so-called pre-accession funds. We also indicated that in case that scenario comes into reality, the money that is now allocated to Turkey should be spent directly on civil society in Turkey. So, not back to the EU budget but the money that was meant for the Turkish population should be directly also dispersed to the Turkish population . . . Turkey to be honest over the last 6 years, of course, have done a lot when it comes to hosting refugees. There is still 3.2 million refugees today in Turkey and we also urge in the report. The member states of the EU, they made a promise with the EU-Turkey deal to take more vulnerable refugees from Turkey to the EU. So, it is not just critical when it comes to the Turkish government but we also clearly insist that the EU sticks to its part of the deal".(1)

EU Syria Trust Fund: new assistance package to support Syrian refugees and host communities crosses €1 billion mark
The EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis adopted new projects worth €275 million that will support refugees and their overstretched host communities in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, the Western Balkans, and Armenia. Projects will focus on education, health care, support of local community, social inclusion, gender equality. The newly adopted assistance package brings the current overall volume of the EU Trust Fund up to over €1 billion which was the goal set by President Juncker on 23 September 2015 at the Informal meeting of the European Council on migration and in the Communication on Managing the Refugee Crisis. The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission, Federica Mogherini said: "We are giving a lifeline to millions of Syrians inside the country and across the region, helping create a future for Syrian refugees and host communities. By enabling girls and boys to access quality education, we are helping to prevent a lost generation of children whose lives have been devastated by the Syrian conflict […]". EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn commented: "Thanks to the EU Trust Fund, children in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey are able to go to school and have access to safe spaces for non-formal education, protection and psycho-social care. […] The EU will continue to respond to the needs arising from the Syria conflict, as testified by the fact that more than €1 billion is being channelled to improve lives via this Trust Fund". The full press release is available online as well as the dedicated factsheet. (For more information: Maja Kocijancic – Tel.: +32 229 86570; Alceo Smerilli – Tel.: +32 229 64887).(2)
Following the rapid police response of eight minutes on Saturday night, the PM came out the next day to tell the world that Britain's had enough and that Mrs Merkel's harsh words of yesteryear are now more valid than ever. But, she started off quite circumspect: "Last night, our country fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack once again. As a result I have just chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee and I want to update you with the latest information about the attack. Shortly before 10:10 yesterday evening, the Metropolitan Police received reports that a white van had struck pedestrians on London Bridge. It continued to drive from London Bridge to Borough Market, where 3 terrorists left the van and attacked innocent and unarmed civilians with blades and knives. All 3 were wearing what appeared to be explosive vests, but the police have established that this clothing was fake and worn only to spread panic and fear. As so often in such serious situations, the police responded with great courage and great speed. Armed officers from the Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police arrived at Borough Market within moments, and shot and killed the 3 suspects. The terrorists were confronted and shot by armed officers within 8 minutes of the police receiving the first emergency call. Seven people have died as a result of the attack, in addition to the 3 suspects shot dead by the police. Forty-eight people are being treated in several hospitals across London. Many have life-threatening conditions. On behalf of the people of London, and on behalf of the whole country, I want to thank and pay tribute to the professionalism and bravery of the police and the emergency services – and the courage of members of the public who defended themselves and others from the attackers. And our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and with their friends, families and loved ones. This is, as we all know, the third terrorist attack Britain has experienced in the last 3 months. In March, a similar attack took place, just around the corner on Westminster Bridge. Two weeks ago, the Manchester Arena was attacked by a suicide bomber. And now London has been struck once more".(1)
In the next instance May gave a brief overview of terror attack to then outline the UK government's response to the threat of "Radical Islamic or Islamist terrorism", as the Drumpf has now named the enemy. In factm she also maneged to make some pretty value-laded statements: "In terms of their planning and execution, the recent attacks are not connected. But we believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face, as terrorism breeds terrorism, and perpetrators are inspired to attack not only on the basis of carefully-constructed plots after years of planning and training – and not even as lone attackers radicalised online – but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack. We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are. Things need to change, and they need to change in 4 important ways. First, while the recent attacks are not connected by common networks, they are connected in one important sense. They are bound together by the single, evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division, and promotes sectarianism. It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam. It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth. Defeating this ideology is one of the great challenges of our time. But it cannot be defeated through military intervention alone. It will not be defeated through the maintenance of a permanent, defensive counter-terrorism operation, however skilful its leaders and practitioners. It will only be defeated when we turn people's minds away from this violence – and make them understand that our values – pluralistic, British values – are superior to anything offered by the preachers and supporters of hate. Second, we cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet – and the big companies that provide internet-based services – provide. We need to work with allied, democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremism and terrorist planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online. Third, while we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world. Yes, that means taking military action to destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. But it also means taking action here at home. While we have made significant progress in recent years, there is – to be frank – far too much tolerance of extremism in our country. So we need to become far more robust in identifying it and stamping it out – across the public sector and across society. That will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations, but the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism – and we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities but as one truly United Kingdom. Fourth, we have a robust counter-terrorism strategy that has proved successful over many years. But as the nature of the threat we face becomes more complex, more fragmented, more hidden, especially online, the strategy needs to keep up. So in light of what we are learning about the changing threat, we need to review Britain's counter-terrorism strategy to make sure the police and security services have all the powers they need. And if we need to increase the length of custodial sentences for terrorism-related offences, even apparently less serious offences, that is what we will do".(2)
May ends her speech on a programmatic note, arguably even somewhat invoking the spirit of Winston Churchill: "Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public. But it is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values. But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change . . . As a country, our response must be as it has always been when we have been confronted by violence. We must come together, we must pull together, and united we will take on and defeat our enemies".(3)

Posting on his Facebook page, on 27 May 2017, the intrepid Pepe Escobar this time gives his readers and followers the lowdown on the Libyan backstory to the suicide attack on the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester:
"Let's focus on Ramadan, father of the Manchester "martyr" Salman Obeidi; now that's a nasty piece of work. He hails from the al-Obeidi tribe, from al Gubbah in eastern Libya. Under Gaddafi he was a Sgt. Major, very pious and Islamist-connected. He left Libya in 1991 and settled down in the Saudi Wahhabi paradise where – crucially – he trained mujahideen fighting in Afghanistan against the Najibullah government, after the Soviet retreat. In 1992 the mujahideen enter Kabul, as in bomb it to death, including the recently 'normalized' Hekmatyar. Ramadan goes to London and then Manchester, joining the Libyan Islamist diaspora that coalesces around the Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Ramadan connects with none other that Abu Anas Al-Libbi – who also lives in Manchester – and will become the brains behind the al-Qaeda attacks on Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Ramadan also connects with the infamous Abdelhakim Belhaj – former mujahid in Afghanistan and VERY close to… Osama Bin Laden. Belhaj convinces Ramadan to go back to Libya. After the Cameron/Sarkozy/NATO "liberation" of Libya, Ramadan joins the Al Umma party, whose leader is Sami al Saadi, one of the LIFG's top commanders, and gets very close to the Grand Mufti Sadeq al-Ghariani, the spiritual guide of hardcore Islamist militias linked to Belhaj. Three years ago Ramadan was part of the Islamist militia raid that re-conquered Tripoli's airport; son Salman flew from Manchester for this one, was shot, and treated in Turkey. Ramadan was also part of the Benghazi Defense Brigades; a mish mash of Islamists from Katiba 17 (financed by Qatar and instrumental in the Benghazi revolt against Gaddafi) and Ansar al Sharia. You all remember what happened on 9/11, 2012; it was Ansar al Sharia operatives who attacked the US consulate in Benghazi. Arguably the key point in all this mess is that Ramadan profited from the MI5 rat line transporting Libyans back to the home country to fight Gaddafi. The minister in charge of authorizing this 'policy'? Theresa May. MI5 and the British government always knew, all along, what Ramadan was all about. He was certainly an asset; the Brits were heavily involved in eastern Libya from the start. He has not been arrested; he's now under protection, Mafia-style. His 'arrest' took place – how lovely! – just as a shadow flight carrying US Special Forces landed in Misrata. The only missing link is why son Salman 'betrayed' his al-Qaeda Dad by converting to Daesh. This is just an ultra-concise summary of the whole stinking-to-high-heavens scam. But you get the drift".

'As European leaders prepare to meet Turkey's President Erdoğan at the NATO summit this week, [the Cartoonists Rights Network International] is just one among many human rights orgs urging the Presidents of the European Commission and Council of Europe to ensure that protection of human rights and detention of journalists in Turkey remain a central point of discussion'.
The CRNI published a public letter addressed to the Turkish Prez and his European interlocutors:
"Your excellencies,
Turkey has been a member of the Council of Europe for almost sixty years and is party to the European Convention on Human Rights.
In a meeting with the European Committee on Foreign Affairs held in Strasbourg on May 15th Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council made the following statement with reference to journalists arrested in Turkey on charges pertaining to support for terrorist organisations:
"… there is case law [in the European Court of Human Rights]… that one cannot have a journalist in pre-trial detention for more than four months."
Staff from the Cumhuriyet newspaper including our colleague the acclaimed and internationally respected cartoonist Musa Kart were formally arrested on November 5th 2016. They were finally indicted on April 4th 2017 – a gap of five months.
Last week they spent their two hundredth consecutive day in custody. When the first hearing of their trial takes place, scheduled for July 24th, they will be approaching the end of their ninth month. And their circumstances are far from unique; Amnesty International's figures indicate that a third of the world's imprisoned journalists are in Turley.
By any measure of jurisprudence the protracted detention of these journalists constitute a violation of rights accorded to those awaiting trial.
Furthermore we reject the charges levelled against Kart and his colleagues, who have done nothing more than pursue careers in journalism.
We urge President Tusk and his delegation to press President Erdoğan on conditions for journalists and media workers in Turkey and remind him that, in the word of Sec.Gen. Jagland:
"… [the ECHR] has communicated to the journalists that their[s] are cases of priority."
Finally we call upon President Erdoğan to consider his own words last year following the attempted coup against his government:
"I feel that if we do not make use of this opportunity correctly, then it will give the people the right to hold us by the throat."
Time for Turkey to behave "correctly" i.e. like the robust, mature, lawful democracy and valued world player her friends in Europe know her to be.
Joel Pett, President, CRNI".(1)

FOUNTAIN VALLEY – A woman suspected of abducting her 3-year-old granddaughter and driving into the child's great-grandmother turned herself in to police Friday, authorities said.
Officers Thursday night responded to reports of a child abduction in the 17300 block of San Luis Street.
Investigators believe that the great-grandmother of the girl, who had custody of the child, had taken her back to a home in the neighborhood when she was confronted by the child's grandmother, who police identified as 44-year-old Georgina Garcia.
Garcia took the child out of the great-grandmother's arms, Fountain Valley police Sgt. Matt Sheppard said.
As Garcia drove away, she struck the great-grandmother with her vehicle, Sheppard said. The great-grandmother was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and was later released.
Police say Garcia took the girl to a relative's home in Redondo Beach.
The family member notified police, Sheppard said, and officers picked up the child Thursday night, returning her to the great-grandmother.
Garcia turned herself in Friday and was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, child abduction, assault with a deadly weapon and hit and run, Sheppard said.

Last High Human 12: Madol (2)
Upon reaching the stables, the two soldiers guarding the entrance stopped me. I got thanked by them for helping Lyett. Seems like she is well known around here… Is she from some noble family? She even gets chased by the inhabitants.
I'm not too good with these people.
I finally joined her at the stables. The smell of dirt, straw, and treated leather drifted into my nose.
She silently installed our rides in stalls. The wooden wolf with Vexia's horse in one stall, and the other horses together in another. A young human boy came to us, a notebook and a pen in hand and a purse at his belt. He carried a bucket filled with carrots that he put down next to my silent partner.
Teenage boy: "That's gonna be one silver per mount."
Lyett: "Put the whole price on my name."
Teenage boy: "Understood Lady Lyett. And… It's good to see you again!"
The youngster gave her a cheerful smile before leaving, whistling. And wait, 'put everything on her name'…?
[Lyett]: "I suppose Vexia asked you to come take me. I mean, in the crowd..."
Her back turned towards me while she caressed her wolf's back, she talked with a low, tired voice.
Lyett: "I'm… scared of crowds. Even though they know I'm not good with people, the civilians keep swarming around me..."
I came at her side to grab the bucket, and moved around the stalls, feeding the carrots to the horses.
Rhod: "Why?"
She turned to me, her left hand still on the wolf.
Lyett: "You are not from the region, right…? Around here, I am… well, you can say my family is very well known. And so am I."
Rhod: "I'd also say you are popular. One of them just proposed to you."
Lyett: "... You don't need to remind me that. They keep coming and asking..."
Rhod: "May I ask why you are getting such treatment?"
She looked down her feet, frowning.
Lyett: "Well… I am the second daughter of the noble family that leads the Commercial Guild."
That guild thing again.
Lyett: "And by tradition, I need to get married to a male making sure my lineage continues, since my sister will take over the business."
That tradition must come from my era...
Rhod: "I see. And they are running after you for your money more than for yourself."
Lyett nodded slowly before leaving the stall.
Lyett: "My mother is letting me find a man that suits my tastes. If I don't have a partner when I turn twenty, she'll choose for me."
Vexia's horse which was ignoring the carrot I was showing him, was now trying to bite my hand while I'm feeding the other horses.
Lyett: "I did find someone you know? He is a childhood friend. But he doesn't have any renown achievements.."
The feeding of horses suddenly turned into a mousquetaire fight with Vexia's horse.
Lyett: "And my family only has eyes on fame. How the hell is that supposed to 'let me choose' ?! I'm not free to choose in these conditions at all…!
Rhod: "Well… You may have restrictions about who to choose. But that still leaves you the possibility to find someone that fits their expectations."
Lyett: "I know…"
There's no other choice. If I want to feed the carrot to this horse, I have to shove it in its mouth…!
Lyett: "But there's no way I can find someone that is famous that I will like. Only noblesmen are renown in this cursed world. And they only know how to order around. They attended the Knight's Academy, but they never go on the field. How could I ever marry someone like that…??"
Rhod: "Well… For now all I can say is to wait and see. Maybe that gentleman you like will do something worth your family's recognition someday."
Lyett: "I don't think so. He's just a regular hunter you know…"
Vexia's horse was now munching on the carrot I 'fed' him, silently staring daggers at me. I won the first round. I'll be back for you once I finish feeding the others!
Rhod: "You never know what can happen. Sometimes, luck is all it takes."
Lyett: "Luck is all it takes… That sounds nice. But reality doesn't care about what sounds nice or not. I'm done taking care of Fenrir so I'll take my leave."
Rhod: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Lyett: "That's nice of you, but you don't need to bother. My escort is waiting for me in the Guild Hall."
Rhod: "Got it. Be careful anyway."
Lyett: "Thanks, I will."
Lyett waved her hand at me before going through a green door in the wall shared with the Guild Hall building.
Sounded harsh to be her. I wished her good luck with all this.
I finished feeding all the other horses. Only Vexia's mount needs to be fed. Our eyes met again.
Rhod: "I don't plan on losing against you. All resistance is futile, give up and eat this carrot."
The horse looked at me, it's eyes burning with fierceness.
Rhod: "I see. You're an opponent worth my time!"
I took an estoc posture, as if really preparing for a fight. What a surprise when my 'opponent' suddenly started imitating a bull ready to charge. Or wait, he's not really planning to charge right…?
As that doubt was striking me, the horse suddenly turned around and, showing me his butt, started to… oh shit…
Like… literally…
I threw the last carrot at him and quickly left the stalls, ignoring the horse's voice, resembling a laugh. He won the second round.
Once outside, I am struck with a thought. What am I supposed to do?
I can't really go outside by myself with monsters roaming around. And it's getting late, the sun had started to set.
I should go see Lyshia. Newt was left alone with her.
I sighed deeply, and walked to the Guild Hall building.
The people inside were all dressed formally and were seemingly preparing to close down the shop. Or whatever this place is. Ah… One of the staff came to me.
Purple-haired Elf: "Hi, young adventurer, zamasu. We are about to close, you may come back tomorrow, zamasu."
That waitress was quite something. Long, purple hairs was hiding the left side of her face, marked curves, and a dress showing her right leg up to the thigh. She was also smoking a pipe.
And she spoke with that weird, haughty tone…
Rhod: "I'm a friend of the injured woman that got carried here by the gia- By Garland."
Purple-haired Elf: " Garland, zamasu?"
… What is that zamasu thing…
Purple-haired Elf: "You may follow me, young adventurer, zamasu."
Ignoring how weird that woman was acting and speaking, I started following her to the depths of the building, listening to her whispering 'zamasu, zamasu' from time to time.
After a mere minute of walk, we arrived in front of a door on the first floor. Zamasu then knocked and entered the room.
Zamasu: "My apologies for interrupting, zamasu. Is this the person with your group zamasu?"
Newt: "Oh, yes. He is."
Zamasu: "Very well. You may enter, zamasu. Please take your time zamasu."
… I swear on the Guardians, I will make nightmares filled with this word…
Zamasu graciously bowed and left quietly, closing the door behind her.
Lyshia was lying on a bed, with Newt sitting on a chair right next to her while Garland was putting bloody tissues in a trashcan.
Garland: "Rhod, was it? Your friend said she wants to talk with you, so I will take my leave for now. I will come back in an hour at most if you are not finished talking."
Garland bowed to us like Zamasu, then left.
Rhod: "What a day, was it? It felt like-"
Lyshia: "Rhod."
She put her valid hand on her bandaged arm and looked at me with reddened eyes.
Lyshia: "Tell me the truth once and for all. You're not from this era, right?"

Published on Nov 13, 2012 Editor's Pick What if you had a hyper, musically inclined duo who acted as your "shopping conscience" when it comes to deals at Target? The retailer debuts its cast of holiday characters in two new spots, "Gifts For You, Gifts For Me" and "Let's Go Together." Replacing "Christmas Champ," the cheery, red-lipped blonde who is absolutely crazy about holiday shopping, the new protagonists, known as the "Target Deals Duet," are a singing-and-saving duo who appear right when people are making gifting decisions. We think the duo, who are a deft mixture of adorable and annoying, will be just as polarizing as the Target Lady. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

Manchu Manoj is not just actor, singer, but action choreographer too. After directing Nandamuri Balakrishna for a stunt sequence in Uukodathara? Ulikkipadathara?, Manoj has does it again for his forthcoming film Current Theega. This time, Manoj directed three action sequences in the film which said to have come out well.
Director Nageswar Reddy is all praise for Manoj's dedication, work. Between, he admitted that he has waited for 2 long years to work with Manoj even after scoring a blockbuster Denikaina Ready with his brother Vishnu Manchu. Nageswar Reddy, however, is happy and contented with the final output of the duo's Current Theega.
"It's worth waiting 2 years for an actor like Manoj. Manoj carried off the film literally. Scenes involving Manoj and Jagapathi Babu are the USP of the film, "director gives a peep into the film. Featuring Rakul Preet Singh as Manoj's romantic interest, the movie has sensational Sunny Leone for an item song. The film produced by Vishnu Manchu is slated for this Friday (Oct 17).

Bird's Spaghetti Nest
READY IN: 50mins
Recipe by 2Bleu
This is easy to fix and delicious! Using jumbo muffin tins gives nice individual presentations while using the bundt pan is great for a larger crowd.
Top Review by SweetsLady
We enjoyed it but a little tangy for a couple family members. I will probably cut back on the cream cheese for us next time to 8 oz. I used low fat cream cheese and sour cream and used whole wheat spagetti to make it a little healthier. Thanks for another great recipe, 2Bleu!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
Cheese mixture
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 2 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup light sour cream
- 1 egg
beef mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 green pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup tomato paste
- 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
- 1⁄4 cup ketchup
Other ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F In a large bowl, mix cheeses, sour cream, and egg together. Set aside.
- Sauté beef in a large skillet with the onion, green pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. When beef is cooked thorough, add remaining beef ingredients.
- Cook spaghetti till done, drain in strainer, then pour into cheese mixture while hot. Chop the pasta cheese mixture using a spatula or other sharp edged utensil, while stirring and mixing well and place into a lightly greased bundt pan OR jumbo muffin tins (better).
- When beef mixture is done, pour it over the pasta/cheese mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow to cool about 5 minutes, then flip over onto a serving platter for the bundt pan, onto the counter for muffin tins, then use a spatula to transfer to plates.
- I like using the jumbo muffin tins, then putting the extra into a casserole dish for left-overs.

gentle, fragrance-free, easy to rinse
In addition to being fragrance-free, non-irritating, and easy to apply and rinse, I like that this scrub does not contain exfoliating beads that are synthetic. Many natural particle scrubs are too scratchy for me (like crushed walnut shells), but this one isnt harsh, while still being satisfyingly scrubby.


text: The market is hitting zones of resistance that could stall the month-long recovery effort and even trigger a deep retracement. But its unlikely the major indices will return to the bear market lows any time in the second quarter. This mixed picture should translate into an uneven ticker tape that demands aggressive risk management in order to book profits.

A non-synonymous SNP within membrane metalloendopeptidase-like 1 (MMEL1) is associated with multiple sclerosis.

Several single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been completed in multiple sclerosis (MS). Follow-up studies of the variants with the most promising rankings, especially when supplemented by informed candidate gene selection, have proven to be extremely successful. In this study we report the results of a multi-stage replication analysis of the putatively associated SNPs identified in the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium non-synonymous SNP (nsSNP) screen. In total, the replication sample consisted of 3444 patients and 2595 controls. A combined analysis of the nsSNP screen and replication data provides evidence implicating a novel additional locus, rs3748816 in membrane metalloendopeptidase-like 1 (MMEL1; odds ratio=1.16, P=3.54 x 10(-6)) in MS susceptibility.Genes and Immunity advance online publication, 24 June 2010; doi:10.1038/gene.2010.36.

We are a friendly company that's been paying attention to our clients needs and helping to produce successful projects by building trust and positive relationships, ensuring that your heating is efficient year on year for the lifetime of your property.
With an underfloor heating system, warm water from any heat source is circulated through a series of pipes installed and integrated within the floor. The heat that is emitted from the floor is natural radiated heat, providing a more comfortable and even temperature throughout the room. Pipes are connected to a centrally located manifold and individual rooms can be temperature controlled as required via their own thermostat.
