Evolution Hoax
Palestinians are our dear children. Let's open those camps and turn Palestine into London and Paris. Let's build villas along the seashore so children could have fun and enjoy. Why live in camps? We can remove this barbed wire. We can pull down all the security walls in Israel. What is this? They have turned Israel into prison. Israeli people are in prison. Palestine also lives in a prison.
Palestine is made up of prisons; there are small prisons all over the place. It is just like a semi-open prison. There are police officers waiting at the gates checking you going in and out. They look into your bag. You go to prison and you come out of prison. Israel has become just like this.
Let's remove that prison-like appearance. Let's pull down all of the walls. Let's remove all this barbed wire and all. Palestinians are honest people. They should dance the halay together, brother. The seacoast and the region is extremely beautiful. Let's plant olive groves everywhere and let's make orange gardens. There is a very large land; it would suffice for all of their predecessors. Is this not enough? What is the reason of this fight? What is this vileness? They are always picking on each other; one is launching a rocket and the other one bombs. The prisons are full of people. There are thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. Also, there are our own brothers in Palestine; let's let them go. They do not commit any political crimes; they are just holding them there. Let them go so they can live at ease. They are suffering for no reason.
Hatred brings hatred. When you hate Israel, Israelis hate you. When you hate Armenians, Armenians hate you. When you hate Arabs, Arabs hate you. There is no end to hatred. The salvation of the world is through love. They have made people forget love. This is the case all over the world.
Palestinians kids are also very sweet with their big eyes. Palestinian young men are very handsome. Palestinian young women are very beautiful. Israeli young women are very, very beautiful. They are the descendants of prophets. One side comes from the Prophet Ismael (pbuh) and the other side comes from the Prophet Jacob (pbuh); both come from the lineage of the Prophet Israel (pbuh). What a beautiful lineage of prophets. Let's let them live in that region with joy and prosperity. Let's build hospitals, let's build facilities, let's build schools, right? The sea coast is empty from end to end; hundreds of kilometers. Let's build villas side to sides s so that young people can go from one place to another in roadsters like in Florida. What is the need for this vileness? What is the need for this fear?
Let's make Jerusalem like Paradise. Let's clean everywhere fastiduously. Let's not focus on civilian settlements there. Let's beautify historical buildings and direct civilian settlement towards that. There is no need for civilian settlements . There must be gardens everywhere. Let's protect and clean up historical buildings. Let's arrange ruined places if any. And let's build the Temple of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). This is the first thing we will do; to build the masjid of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). It will be immense, with gold plating, insha'Allah, just like it is described. It will grab a lot of attention as an exceptional event in the world. (Adnan Oktar, April 1st, 2013: A9 TV)2013-04-27 12:14:43

It should come as no surprise that BMW is offering a naked version of its popular F800 series, but it speaks to the growing popularity of niche models that it's the last of five models to be offered from that series, two years after the F800S debuted the 798cc parallel twin. Where once naked roadsters like this were the bread and butter of most bike companies, they're increasingly seen as being less sexy variations of their oddball counterparts.
Think of the F800R as an F800S with K1300R styling and you won't be far
wrong. Bu that belies the effort BMW has put into engineering in a
level of on-road ability unique to the model. At 182kg (dry) the F800R
is the lightest model to use BMW's punchy 87bhp, 63lb/ft parallel twin.
It also uses shorter ratios for gears 4 through 6, meaning it should
easily be the fastest. Combine that with wide bars, an upright riding
position and high-quality suspension and you have a bike with
performance that should belie its basic looks.
Uncommon for BMW is the double-sided swingarm and chain final drive.
Choices that defy corporate doctrine, but should help make the F800R a
more capable motorcycle.
With the addition of the F800R, we'd be hard pressed to name a
family-member that we wouldn't be happy owning. It joins the completely
awesome F800GS, cheap and cheerful F650GS (which uses the 798cc
engine), F800S and F800ST sports tourer. Can you think of a stronger
single-engine model range?

Kyle Busch was not happy with Toyota Sunday after running low on fuel at Dover International Speedway.
Now, Toyota officials are not happy with Busch for his profanity-laced tirade after the race, which was aimed at Toyota Racing Development.
Busch dominated the race at Dover, leading 302 of 400 laps. But his car did not get the fuel mileage that other drivers did, forcing he and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin to pit late in the race. Busch wound up finishing seventh and Hamlin was eighth, both a lap down.
Afterward, Busch lashed out at TRD, which supplies engines to Gibbs and other Toyota teams.
"Thank you TRD," Busch said on his team radio after the race. "(Expletive) us out of another one. Piece of (expletive) (expletive)."
PHOTOS: Kyle Busch behaving badly
According to thatsracin.com, Toyota officials are not happy with Busch over his comments. TRD president Lee White confirmed to Sporting News on Thursday that Toyota officials have talked to team owner Joe Gibbs about the incident.
"We're as frustrated as he was that he didn't win that race considering how many laps he led, considering he and Denny both literally dominated the race," White told ThatsRacin.com. "We're as disappointed as he was. However, we've got used to saying, 'That's just Kyle, you know.' But this is a bit of a special case.
"We're extremely disappointed in his negative comments and the tone of the comments after the event. It is under discussion as we move forward. We certainly are very disappointed."
Hamlin also was frustrated after the race, but did not blame Toyota or TRD for his problems. Dodge's Brad Keselowski won the race by stretching his fuel mileage and running the final 89 laps on one tank of fuel. Chevy's Jimmie Johnson also did not have to stop after pitting around the same time Keselowski did.
Busch and Hamlin, however, were not able to conserve enough fuel to make it to the end.
"I can't control all this fuel-mileage s---," Hamlin said. "It's just this fuel-mileage game sucks."
White said Toyota engines did not have a problem with using too much fuel.
"Every one of our teams ran full power, full rich (fuel mixture) and kicked their ass," White told thatsracin.com. "All six of them and some other teams did, too. It wasn't just TRD power that had this issue. The race didn't fall their way and we've seen it happen more lately.
"I'm not going to apologize for TRD. … We should have won the race but circumstances didn't work out that way and I'm sorry. We don't have anything to apologize for."
Busch often lashes out and vents his frustration after disappointing finishes, but rarely has he targeted his rant at Toyota.
White told Sporting News on Thursday that Toyota officials have talked to team owner Joe Gibbs about Busch's comments.
"At this point, we are leaving it up to coach. They're working on a resolution and I'm sure it will be just fine," White told Sporting News.
Thursday did present a resolution, as Busch issued an apology.
Sunday was not the first time this year that Busch has been frustrated with Toyota engines. He fell out of three straight races in June because of engine problems.
"We shared his frustration (earlier this year) without question and have worked diligently to get better and are still working and will never stop working," White told Sporting News. "We all know Kyle is extremely passionate. We love that passion. We embrace that passion.
"Kyle is a brilliant driver. He and Samantha are a part of our family. Occasionally families have squabbles. We'll find our way through it and there is nobody better than the Coach to make that happen."

Talk about luggage loyalty! Here's Cameron Diaz at LAX with a selection of woven Bottega Veneta bags perfect for a stylish getaway. I'm not normally a huge fan of matchy-matchy accessories, but her combo of tan and brown totes and rolling luggage looks effortless and chic without feeling overdone. While this style of hand woven Bottega bag is definitely pricey, they are extremely well-made and very durable. Plus, they have a timeless appeal that will stay with you for the long haul.
Luckily, we have quite a few pieces at generous discounts off of retail. If you need a carry-on, I particularly like this fab tan ombre tote or this white Napa Roma tote. But be sure to check out our whole selection of Bottega Veneta — these are definitely bags that will stay in your collection forever.

As a new cookery school gives fans the chance to cook with Michel Roux Jr, Diana Pilkington is treated to a masterclass in souffle-making from the expert himself. The chef patron of Le Gavroche also discusses why he helped revive old-school BBC show Food And Drink and shares his thoughts on the horsemeat scandal.
By Diana Pilkington
"Are you left-handed?" jokes Michel Roux Jr, as my right arm prods limply at the ingredients of my first ever creme patisserie.
Wincing from the heat of the stove, I am clearly a far cry from the professionals the two-star Michelin chef is used to scrutinising on TV.
And to make matters worse, we're tackling one of cooking's most fearsome tasks - the souffle. More precisely, it's an omelette souffle Rothschild, a Cointreau-enriched dream of a dessert that's been on the menu at Le Gavroche in various guises since Roux's father and uncle opened the restaurant in 1967.
"A lot of qualified chefs get worried about making souffles, so this is going to be a big step for you," Roux adds, with a characteristic twinkle in his eye. No pressure then.
I feel like a bit of a spare part in the presence of such culinary greatness. Roux has to step in a few times to rescue my wilting egg whites, but I'm determined to make the most of it.
After all, fans have to fork out an eye-watering £895 for the privilege of spending the day with Roux at his new London cookery school, Cactus Kitchens.
Located above the studio where the BBC's Saturday Kitchen is filmed, the school is the brainchild of Cactus TV's Amanda Ross and also offers cooking experiences with the likes of Monica Galetti and Adam Byatt.
"I'd say it's extremely good value," insists the Masterchef: The Professionals judge. "You spend around £900 for a full day with me. I think that's very good value, and we've sold out so far."
The project launched this year, and so far he's seen a "very broad range" of ages and standards take part.
"We're not trying to compete with L'Atelier des Chefs or Le Cordon Bleu. They do fairly rigid, structured cooking demos with a class. This is more of an experience. People should feel at ease and hopefully go away with lots of tips."
It's one of many strings to the sprightly 52-year-old's bow. He's still running Le Gavroche, preparing to tackle his 19th marathon this year ("I keep asking myself when I'm going to stop - the knees are still holding out but the calves are very painful") and can currently be seen fronting magazine show Food And Drink on BBC Two.
Roux says: "I wouldn't want to denigrate the old Food And Drink because I used to watch it and was an avid follower.
"But I felt that one was very structured and formal and a bit too serious, whereas this is lighter and far more accessible to viewers."
So how does today's Food And Drink stand out in a market that's already packed with food programmes?
"It has to be different," he says. "There are a lot of cookery competitions on television, MasterChef included, and the straight cooking programmes have their place as well.
"This show is topical. We choose a topic, such as feeding the world, and follow that theme through the programme."
Sadly, there was one red-hot issue they were unable to get their teeth into.
"It's a shame we weren't in the studios when the horsemeat story broke because we could have gone into that one in great depth," says Roux, who was horrified by the news of contaminated meat products.
"It's not the issue of whether we should be eating horsemeat or not. It's the labelling. And that is shocking. The consumer should know what they are eating. That's a basic right.
"And some products had traces of pork. Some people shouldn't be eating pork for religious reasons, so that's shameful. That's criminal."
Although he's frequently on the telly, Roux's busy schedule means he rarely gets a chance to watch it. Nonetheless, there are a number of TV chefs he admires.
"Some of Rick Stein's cooking programmes were stunning and he's such a nice man as well. But nowadays I love Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood. What they do is fantastic and what it's done for baking is brilliant."
On the subject of baking, our omelette souffle Rothschild is coming along nicely - even the meringue, which Roux says is the bit that causes the most fretting.
"People are a bit scared of over-mixing the egg whites and then losing all the air in it but actually the first bit of mixing can be quite vigorous."
According to Roux, it's careful planning and methodical work that separates the professionals from the amateur chefs, and breaking a task down into stages can take the stress out of the most daunting recipe.
"This is a perfect example," he says, removing our fluffy, perfectly risen pudding from the oven, turning it onto a plate and scattering it with boozy apricots.
"The apricots can be made weeks in advance and kept in an airtight jar in the fridge. The sauce as well. Then before serving it's a five-minute job, then you put in the oven and it's done. It's all in the preparation."
I fear I may have been more of a hindrance than a help with the cooking, but when it comes to eating the thing, I'm more than happy to get stuck in!
Here's the recipe, plus a few more from Roux, for you to try at home...
Omelette souffle rothschild (Serves 4) 250ml milk 3 egg yolks 50g caster sugar plus 1tbsp 40g plain flour 1 good measure Cointreau 8 egg whites For the apricots: 250ml water 150g caster sugar 1 vanilla pod split 20 dried apricots 2 measures Cointreau Boil the water, sugar and vanilla then pour over the apricots, add a measure of Cointreau, cover and leave to macerate overnight.
Remove 12 apricots and a little of the syrup and reserve for the garnish. Puree the remaining apricots with another measure of Cointreau to make a light sauce. If too thick, add a little syrup from the apricots.
Bring the milk to the boil. Whisk the yolks with 50g of sugar until creamy then add the flour, and pour on the boiling milk and mix well. Return to the pan and bring back to the boil stirring continuously. Remove from the heat and stir in a measure of Cointreau.
Heat six to eight blini pans (12cm diameter) over a medium heat. Whisk the egg whites with 1 tablespoon of caster sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in half to the egg yolk mixture then lightly fold in the rest. Butter the blinis pan and spoon in the mixture and then cook in the oven at 180ºC for 6-8 minutes. Then turn out onto the plates and serve immediately with the warmed apricots, sauce and if you like a little double cream.
Spicy aubergine salad with coconut (Serves 6) 4 large aubergines Vegetable oil for frying Salt Chilli powder 2tbsp tomato ketchup 1tbsp wholegrain Dijon mustard Juice of 1 lemon 2 spring onions, thinly sliced 50g coconut chips, toasted 6 grilled king prawns for decoration (optional) Trim off the ends of the aubergines. Cut lengthways into slices, about 15mm thick, then into cubes. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan with a generous amount of vegetable oil. When the oil is smoking hot, add the aubergine cubes. They will soak up all the oil, but don't worry - carry on cooking over a high heat until the aubergine is lightly browned. Turn down the heat and gently simmer until tender. The whole cooking process should take about 12 minutes.
Season well with salt and chilli powder to taste. Remember, if the salad is to be served cold it will need more seasoning than if eaten warm. Put the aubergines in a colander and leave to drain for about 10 minutes. Return the aubergines to the frying pan and heat gently. Fold in the ketchup, mustard and lemon juice. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove and chill. Just before serving, fold in the spring onions and toasted coconut chips.
(Recipe taken from Cooking With The Master Chef) Duck confit and saute potatoes (Serves 8) 1 Canard Gras or 8 large duck legs or 2 normal ducks 1kg good-quality coarse sea salt 1 sprig of sage 1 sprig of thyme For the potatoes: 1kg potatoes (Amandine, Belle de Fontenay or similar), boiled in their skins and cooled 1kg duck or goose fat Salt and pepper 3 garlic cloves 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped If using a Canard Gras, remove the legs and breast, trimming off any excess fat. Chop off the head and discard. Remove the skin from the neck and add to the fat, and put the neck with the meat. Take out the foie gras, wrap in cling film and refrigerate to use for another recipe. Add the heart and gizzard, cut in half and washed.
Trim all the skin and fat off the carcass. Put all the fat in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer to render. This usually takes about 1 hour - the water should be evaporated and the fat clear. Pour the fat through a fine conical sieve without pressing. Liberally sprinkle the meat with the sea salt and chill for 90 minutes. Wipe off all the salt and moisture with a cloth and put the meat into the warm fat with the sage and thyme. Bring to a very gentle simmer, cover with greaseproof paper and cook for about 2 hours until tender. Cool in the fat then chill. It will keep for several weeks.
For the duck confit, preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4. Place the meat in a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat until golden. Put into the hot oven for 10 - 15 minutes.
For the saute potatoes, peel the potatoes when cool. Cut into 5mm slices and pan fry in the duck fat. Season and sprinkle with garlic and parsley.
(Recipe taken from Cooking With The Master Chef) Banana and golden syrup tart (Serves 6) For the pastry: 220g plain flour (cake flour) Pinch of sea salt 100g cold butter, cut into blocks 30g caster sugar 1 egg yolk 3tbsp water For the filling: 180g soft white breadcrumbs 8 tbsp golden syrup Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon 5-6 bananas Sifted icing sugar, for dusting Thick, sweetened cream, to serve To make the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and caster sugar, and rub into the flour until it looks like sand. Add the egg yolk and water, bring the dough together, and knead a couple of times. Shape into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll the pastry out to fit a 26cm tart tin, line neatly and trim off the excess. Cover with greaseproof paper, fill with dry beans or rice, and bake at 180ºC for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper, and bake for 5 minutes more.
While the pastry base is still warm, tip in the breadcrumbs; they should come right up to the edge. Warm the treacle in a small saucepan, mix in the lemon zest and juice. Pour evenly onto the breadcrumbs and leave for 5 minutes to settle. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. The filling should set and have a golden caramel colour. Allow the tart to cool a little. Arrange sliced, peeled bananas in a circular fashion on the tart. Dust with icing sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch or under a hot oven grill.
To serve, slice the tart and serve with a generous spoonful of sweetened cream.

Last week, key injuries to several quarterbacks gave fantasy football owners a headache; this week, it's running backs and wide receivers who will have them reaching for the Advil.
There's not much fantasy owners can do if Percy Harvin (ankle), Julio Jones (ankle) or Danny Amendola (foot) are declared inactive -- simply put in a backup and hope for the best -- but when running backs like Willis McGahee (knee) and LeSean McCoy (head) are out, it creates a domino effect of waiver-wire rushes, tough lineup decisions and second guessing.
Every year, some seldom-used running back seemingly emerges out of nowhere and winds up starting down the stretch for fantasy teams (remember Toby Gerhart and Kahlil Bell last season?), and this year, we've already seen Oakland's Marcel Reece and Jacksonville's Jalen Parmele get an early jump on being that no-name breakout star. With the injuries to McGahee and McCoy, Ronnie Hillman and Lance Ball will get chances to audition in Denver, and Bryce Brown will likely get his star turn in Philadelphia. Will they be one-week wonders (or no-week wonders), or will they be carrying your fantasy team to a title next month?
We can't say for sure about the long-term, but the Fantasy Source experts can help you decide whether guys like Hillman, Ball and Brown are worth starting this week during our live fantasy football chat from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET on Sunday, available to Fantasy Source members.
Subscribers can also check out Fantasy Source's Week 12 fantasy football rankings, fantasy football stat projections and in-depth fantasy football matchups. And don't forget to check out our free RAM Fantasy Update, Weather Watch and Game-time decisions posts for other key fantasy football information.
For a taste of what else we have to offer Fantasy Source subscribers, read on:
Start 'em:
Marcedes Lewis, Jaguars. This week, it's all about how you can best replace injured Patriot Rob Gronkowski for the run to a fantasy championship. Lewis joined Gronk in producing a pair of scores in Week 11, and he also has an ex-Michigan QB who likes to throw to him in the end zone. Lewis has a good shot at least one more TD vs. the Titans.
Three more: The Raiders' Brandon Myers might still be available in your league, based on depth, and he's someone you can pretty much play every week in place of Gronk, beginning with Cincinnati; the Colts' Dwayne Allen is seeing more targets from Andrew Luck and should produce well vs. Buffalo, don't sleep on Tampa Bay's Dallas Clark (remember him?), who is expected to stay more involved in a red-hot passing offense at home vs. Atlanta.
Sit 'em:
Heath Miller, Steelers. The Browns are very good at defending the tight end, and Miller is the Pittsburgh pass-catcher most affected by not having Ben Roethlisberger throwing to him. The presence of Plaxico Burress also will limit what Miller can do in the end zone with Charlie Batch.
Three more: The Colts have been tough on tight ends not named Gronkowski, and Buffalo's Scott Chandler will learn that; the Giants' Martellus Bennett is too much of a wild card to play vs. Green Bay; especially if Percy Harvin can't go again, the Vikings' Kyle Rudolph will be the center of coverage focus by an angry Bears D.
For more start-sit calls, check out Vinnie Iyer's premium The Decider column on Fantasy Source.
Wide receivers
Stud: Hakeem Nicks, Giants (No. 10). Nicks had a bye week to get on the same page with Eli Manning, and it will pay off against a Green Bay secondary that continues to mix and match young players. Along with this Hail Mary, Nicks has 18 catches for 346 yards and five TDs in three career games against the Packers. He'll have a big game.
Sleeper: Cecil Shorts, Jaguars (No. 38). Rookie Justin Blackmon (No. 25) made headlines with 236 receiving yards last week, but Shorts remains the more consistent option. He has hit double-digit fantasy points in four of Jacksonville's past five games. Start Shorts at WR3 against Tennessee.
Go For It?: Julio Jones, Falcons (No. 42). Jones re-aggravated a right ankle injury against the Cardinals in Week 11, and he'll likely be a game-time decision against the Buccaneers. I lean toward starting Jones if he goes, but get another option ready so it's not a mad scramble like last week.
Big Talk: Park Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson (No. 26) on the bench. He's a prime candidate to check out on the season. Do you think he's staying after practice with Nick Foles? Jackson has just seven catches for 67 yards on 17 targets the last few weeks.

Frank Gore, RB, 49ers. Gore has had at least 16 carries in each of the past four games, and he's been one of the most consistent fantasy running backs all season. New Orleans is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to RBs (23.7), so it's a no-brainer to start Gore in this one, even with Kendall Hunter stealing a few carries.
Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers. Davis put up 14.3 fantasy points last week. In his previous four games, he scored 10.1. It was nice to see him get back on track, but consistency could be an issue going forward. Regardless, he's a solid option this week against a porous Saints defense that allows 8.3 FPPG to tight ends (ninth most).
Jimmy Graham, TE, Saints. Graham has scored in four straight games and remains as good of a fantasy TE as you can find. He's a must-start against any defense, even a 49ers' unit allowing just 5.4 FPPG to TEs (second fewest).
4-Star Players
Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers. Crabtree has scored in three straight games despite a slight decrease in total targets. Regardless of who's under center for San Francisco, Crabtree is a good bet to have another big game against a New Orleans' defense allowing the most FPPG to WRs (29.5).
David Akers, K, 49ers. Akers has received multiple field-goal attempts in four of his past five games, and even though that's only resulted in double-digit fantasy points once, he remains one of the highest-upside kickers out there. New Orleans gives up an average of 8.5 FPPG to Ks (tied for 11th), so Akers is a solid starting option once again.
49ers defense/special teams. The Saints allow just 5.0 FPPG to D/STs (fifth fewest), but San Francisco has shown the ability to put up fantasy points against anyone. And it's worth noting that in last year's playoff game between these two teams, San Francisco recorded three sacks and five takeaways. Obviously, playing in New Orleans will be tougher, but the 49ers are still worth starting.
Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Brees hasn't thrown for 300 yards since Week 7, but he's still putting up big fantasy totals thanks to a 10:2 TD-to-INT ratio over his past four games. Even with this tough matchup, Brees is a sure-fire fantasy starter thanks to his talent and high amount of pass attempts (401, fourth most). Playing at home only figures to help.
Marques Colston, WR, Saints. Colston has scored in five of his past seven games, and he tore up the 49ers in the playoffs last year, catching nine balls for 136 yards and a score. He has as much upside as virtually any wide receiver in fantasy from week-to-week, and this week is no exception.

Philly pays to reach bored people in the sky
If you've flown on U.S. Airways recently you may have noticed Philadelphia is getting more than 15 minutes of fame from the in-flight magazine.
The cover of U.S. Airways Magazine and 85 pages inside are devoted to Philadelphia, featuring everything from real estate developer Toll Brothers to the region's many museums.
Sharon Rossi of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation worked with the airline to put the magazine together.
"Philadelphia is not the Philadelphia that it was 10 years ago, even five years ago," Rossi said. "Philadelphia, the way it talks about itself is different, the way it feels about itself is different and we thought that this section would give us the opportunity to reach out to partners and represent better all that Philadelphia was."
Rossi won't say how much her group paid for the placement, but paid for a smaller one last year.
The magazine is made available to six million passengers and Rossi hopes they may rethink travel and business plans after reading the spread.

French writer who authored 60 diaries in her 74 years about her SELF (often capitalized), working on perfecting her self-absorption and sex-life. Introspective from youth, she began her diaries at 15. She published four of the diaries from 1966 to 1971. Nin fancied herself an artist, when, in fact, she was a minor writer and a very, very sensitive bore. She nonetheless became an icon for the feminist movement in the 1970s, presenting herself as having successfully defied the conventions of woman's traditional role. She was the among the first to write of personal explorations about sex, self and psychoanalysis. Her marriages and affairs were detailed in her books, Diaries I to IV.
Her dad was the philandering Spanish composer, Joaquin Nin, who abandoned the family when she was 11 but continued to be the overshadowing figure in her life. She would write long letters to her absent dad, detailing the family's daily life. When her dad deserted the family, her mom took the three kids to New York.
Nin worked as a fashion and artist model as well as a Spanish dancer. She both studied and practiced psychoanalysis as well. She was among the first to explore in print three of this century's biggest preoccupations: sex, the self and psychoanalysis. Nin's emphasis on the intimate, personal and instinctual were feminine traits she believed could be used in the reconstruction of a more sensitive world. Her first book, published when she was 27, was about D.H. Lawrence with whom she agreed that lies were essential because most people could not stomach the naked truth. She would brag about lying "bravely, ironically, dually, triply."
Nin clung obsessively to the book that nourished her living; her diary, her "one true friend." She kept both real and false diaries, editing and rewriting them throughout her life in a never-ending recreation of self. Some say her writing reveals a portrait of monstrous egotism and selfishness, horrifying in its callous indifference.
In Diary I she wrote about Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Otto Rank and Antonin Artaud. Aware of their celebrity, Nin traded on it to entice publication of her entire set of diaries. In her first period of "erotic madness," which she called "a search for the father," she pitted one man against another. In 1933 after a separation of nearly 20 years, she met and seduced her own father who was then 54.
Quixotic in her choice of lovers, Nin was pragmatic when it came to husbands. Both husbands were gullible, compliant, steadfast men who gave her unstinting support. In 1923 she married a banker, Hugh Guiler, called "Hugo." Hugo paid for the publication of many of her books and made possible the glamorous, art-infested life she led. He turned a blind eye to her love affairs with Henry Miller and her psychoanalysts. In 1934 she became pregnant, the first of several subsequent aborted pregnancies. She aborted her six-month old, stillborn daughter and fictionalized the event in "Under a Glass Bell." During the period of conception, she was intimate with Hugo, her father, and Miller. She insisted that Miller was the father but never told him she was pregnant. In 1955 she married Rupert Pole bigamously for she had not divorced Hugo.
She died at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital on 1/14/1977, at 11:55 P.M. Her death certificate cited as causes cardiorespiratory arrest, severe malnutrition and widespread metastatic carcinoma. Nin's illness became symptomatic in 1969: "The cancer began in the vagina."

Real Salt Lake announced on Friday that the club will host Star Wars Day during the May 4 match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. The 7:00 p.m. MT kickoff will feature interactive games, costumed characters and promotions inspired by George Lucas' iconic film series.
People who attend the match dressed in a Star Wars costume will have the opportunity to march on the field in the Parade of Kings, with up to 300 fans allowed on the Rio Tinto Stadium pitch for the pregame procession. Fans interested in participating in the Parade of Kings must show up to the southwest tunnel of Rio Tinto Stadium by 6:15 p.m. MT at the latest in order to march.
Star Wars characters will be stationed throughout Rio Tinto Stadium both before and during the match, with Darth Vader performing the pregame coin toss and "Imperial Security" standing field side for portions of the match. Additionally, Darth Vader, RSL mascot Leo the Lion and plenty of other Star Wars characters will play interactive games and be available for photo-ops at Carnival Real beginning at 5:00 p.m. MT before moving inside the stadium when gates open at 6:00 p.m. MT.

text: I'm sitting here listening to 1070 the fan and they are talking about something that really got me thinking and I completely agree. David West, along with the other guys we brought in, have completely changed the culture of this team. There are no guys that will go sit on the bench and complain about playing time, nobody for Lance Stephenson to fool around with which will only make him better. Apparently James Posey got in a yelling match with Frank Vogel which I had never heard about, but that must be the reason he was never allowed back here during training camp. They all play hard now, nobody is just looking out for themselves. I think the team has just completely changed their total outlook. It went from a few guys trying to get their stats, to everyone just playing as a team. I also loved how David West got mad after every time he missed a shot, he just brings that sense of wanting to win and striving for greatness. The guys don't have to worry about messing up because the coach actually believes in them and will continue to push you to get better. Danny Granger made a good passing play or two and I think he will continue to make his game more of an all-around game. This year is gonna be the turning point for this franchise. Yes I am saying this after one game.

Can't say it wasn't deserved but he should've taken the rest of the season off after his collapse
Gary Kubiak fired by Texans after 11th straight loss
It now appears official.
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports has reported that the Texans have fired coach Gary Kubiak, who is expected at a press conference soon.
Kubiak has already told his assistants he has been fired.
The 52-year-old Kubiak built the Texans gradually into a contender, and won 22 games the previous two seasons.
But things bottomed out this year, and last nights 11th-straight loss dropped him to 61-64 all-time as a head coach.

Hanley could hit Minors on Thursday
LOS ANGELES -- Injured shortstop Hanley Ramirez could begin a Minor League rehab assignment as early as Thursday, according to Dodgers manager Don Mattingly.
Ramirez tested his strained left hamstring by running the bases on Tuesday for the second straight day. He also fielded ground balls and took batting practice on the field before the Dodgers' game against the Angels.
"Hanley was really good today," Mattingly said. "It sounds like if everything goes well, Hanley is getting close to going out [on a rehab assignment] later this week, maybe Thursday or Friday."
Ramirez has been limited to only four games with the Dodgers this season. He began the year on the disabled list, recovering from the surgery on his right thumb he underwent to treat an injury sustained while playing for the Dominican Republic during the World Baseball Classic. Ramirez returned earlier than projected, only to strain his hamstring running from first base to third on May 3 in San Francisco.

I was surprised when reading in another thread (about internal/external emptiness and unperurbedness) to read that in MN 122 ( http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html)
it says the following:
"If, while the monk is dwelling by means of this dwelling, his mind inclines to walking back & forth, he walks back & forth [thinking,] 'While I am walking thus, no covetousness or sadness, no evil, unskillful qualities will take possession of me.' In this way he is alert there.
In this excerpt the "dwelling by means of this dwelling" refers to fourth jhana....or at least the monk being described goes to fourth jhana before starting a rather long series of contemplations which culminate in this and similar statements about talking etc.
I guess this is saying that it is possible to walk while in fourth jhana. I still am not certain whether in the many suttas where concentration is first established (jhanas) and then contemplations occur whether after the jhana is established it continues throughout the contemplations...seems like it does as there is nothing to indicate that it dissipates.....but I don't know for sure.
Anyway...so far there seems to be some evidence suggesting that walking may be possible in first jhana and now this seems to indicate that there can be walking in fourth jhana....makes me think that it might be possible in the second and third also...don't know.

The crisis involving tens of thousands of migrant young people and mothers with children from Central America crossing over the border into the United States has provided a source of widely differing views among the candidates running for the 31st Congressional District in November.
The Republican and Democratic candidates for the district, which covers San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Redlands, Grand Terrace, Highland and Mentone, shared viewpoints that echoed the perspectives of their respective parties on the issue.
The issue is of importance to voters in the district where a number of immigration reform supporters and immigrant amnesty opponents have held opposing demonstrations in front of current district Rep. Gary Miller's Rancho Cucamonga office, in the past year over the matter.
Democratic candidate Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar voiced his support for the Obama administration's $3.7 billion request from Congress to help stem the crisis.
"It's time for Congress to put politics aside and to work in good faith to pass comprehensive immigration reform," Aguilar said. "Specifically, I think we need to ensure every child receives the due process under the law that they are entitled. The president's budget supplemental (request) does just that. The supplemental would increase the number of judges and lawyers to ensure every child receives a due process hearing under the current law."
Rancho Cucamonga businessman Paul Chabot, the Republican candidate in the 31st, said the crisis represents a failure of the Obama administration to secure the border and that the funding request does not address the core problem of border security.
Chabot said he didn't fault the young people who have come here and blamed what he called a failed immigration policy.
"We need to expedite their return home to their parents immediately and those with legitimate refugee status must be expedited to our judicial system," Chabot said.
Chabot said the United States needs to implement better physical structures and law enforcement personnel along the border to prevent more migrants from coming.
"I'm very concerned with the increased worldwide terrorism and that the ability that children can basically walk across this border, certainly shows that our border is not secure," he said.
Experts say the issue is bound to be important here because immigration has been a major issue for voters in the region.
"This issue will definitely come up in every congressional campaign, particularly in Southern California," said Jack Pitney, a political science professor and prominent policy commentator at Claremont McKenna College. "It's a tricky issue because many Hispanic voters might oppose the rapid deportation of the migrants. Conversely, a lot of other voters want to send them back as soon as possible."
Pitney said that, in talking about the issue, any smart candidate would understand the importance of careful language showing both compassion and commitment to the rule of law.
"Just simply saying 'ship them back' can sound pretty cold, so emphasizing family reunification is a better way to frame it." Pitney said.
Douglas Johnson, research fellow at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government, said the crisis represents a major policy issue with clear implications for the region.
"They're bringing these kids and releasing them into the Inland Empire, in addition to many other places," Johnson said. "Certainly a lot of them will end up in the Inland Empire."

The Solano County Sheriff's Office confirmed Wednesday that it has reopened the investigation into the death of the wife of embattled Vacaville pastor Mark Lewis.
The news came one day after Joanna Lewis' mother, Patricia Hunter, spoke publicly about the abusive relationship she believes led to her daughter's death more than two years ago. It had previously been ruled a suicide.
Word of the reopening of the investigation was welcome, albeit long overdue, news to Hunter, who said it is what she and the rest of her family had hoped for ever since learning of her 36-year-old daughter's death on Oct. 6, 2011.
On Monday, Hunter, a peer counselor for victims of domestic violence, addressed a group of local women regarding the dangers of abuse and its many forms in hopes of sparing other families from the pain she has been forced to endure.
Mark Lewis was arrested Jan. 10, a day after a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of the Vacaville home where his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Nottingham, and her three children were sleeping. The firebombing also led to the arrests of Kristen Broyles, 30, of Citrus Heights, and Sacramento residents Anthony Newbolt, 33, and Richerd Wright, 28, who investigators say carried out the potentially deadly attack.
Lewis was rearrested Jan. 24 on allegations that he committed fraud and a host of other financial violations in order to post his original $500,000 bail.
Hunter said she learned of the recent reopening of the investigation into her daughter's death after receiving a phone call from Sheriff Tom Ferrara about a week ago.
"As a family, we have tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to make this happen," Hunter stated. "Now, we have some hope in finding justice for Joanna as we never believed that her death was a suicide."
According to Deputy Daryl Snedeker, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, investigators will be re-interviewing people and conducting followups to any information they uncover. Snedeker credited the family's concerns and recent developments surrounding the controversial pastor with the decision to reexamine the matter.
"We just want to go back over our tracks," said Snedeker, who noted that the development is no indication that a thorough investigation was not performed initially, but rather a "change of circumstances."
"People who didn't talk then, may talk now," he added.
"It's in everyone's best interest to reopen the investigation," Snedeker continued. "If things change, it will be because somebody changed their story or somebody might talk who was reluctant to talk before."
The family is also optimistic that some new information may be uncovered in light of the fact that Dr. Susan Hogan, the coroner who Hunter said did Joanna's autopsy, is the subject of ongoing controversy in a number of Solano County criminal cases.
Hogan, the former chief forensic pathologist, abruptly retired in December, however, recent developments point to the possibility that she was forced out of her position with the Sheriff's Office. On Tuesday, a Solano County Judge E. Bradley Nelson ordered the disclosure of personnel records, including documents pertaining to an internal investigation of Hogan and her "suitability to remain as the primary forensic pathologist for the Solano County Sheriff's Office."
To date, prosecutors have identified 37 cases that Hogan has been involved in where her employment records may become relevant.
The Sheriff's Office, however, rebuffed the idea that Hogan's involvement - if any - had any impact on the outcome of the initial investigation into Joanna Lewis' death.
Though Snedeker said he was unsure whether Hogan was the one who had performed Joanna Lewis' autopsy, "Even if it was, there's been nothing to show at this point that she's incompetent," he stated Wednesday evening.
Still, Lewis' family continues to cling to hope.
"All this has brought everything back up, but it never goes away," Hunter said of the sea of emotions surrounding the latest developments.
Hunter said she always feared for her daughter, especially in light of the "escalating" violence she endured that resulted in multiple trips to the emergency room, several emergency protective orders and two restraining orders against the man she would ultimately be married to for 11 years.
"It's a relief in the sense that people are hearing her voice," Hunter said. "Someone will look at him and hold him accountable. We had hoped it would happen before he hurt someone else or brought fear to another family."
"You can never put the loss of your daughter on the back burner. You just have to learn how to live your life," said Hunter, who added that there were many days that she, her husband of 40 years and their son wondered if they would ever smile or laugh again in the wake of their tragedy. "We have to fight every day to live well."

5. Tessera's Travel Tips Have no fear all you Californians getting killed by $5 bucks a gallon gas. Thanks to our friends at Tessera Technologies ( TSRA), we have found a solution to ease your pump pain: Commute from Connecticut instead. No joshing. According to regulatory filings released late last week, the semiconductor and digital optics company plans to pay its CEO Robert Young a whopping $150,000 per year to shuttle back and forth between his Connecticut home and Tessera's San Jose offices. The stipend comes on top of Young's $684,000 annual base salary for 2012, and a bonus that can reach up to 100% of that amount. Oh yeah, let's not forget the 550,000 stock options Young will be able to vest if he spins off one of his two divisions, or the $1.6 million in total compensation he pocketed last year. You see Golden Staters! If Tessera is giving Young all that extra travel cash when he doesn't even need it, imagine what your company will give cash-strapped straphangers like yourselves! Furthermore, don't be dissuaded from asking for the additional dough if your company is losing money. Tessera lost $8.5 million in the first half of the year and still found the scratch to compensate Young for his cross country commute. "The 2012 compensation arrangement provides an additional financial incentive for Bob to pursue a key strategic alternative, and reflects the board's continuing efforts to closely align executive compensation with the best interests of stockholders," said company chairman Robert J. Boehlke about Young's arrangement. Hey, its good work if you can get it. And even better if you can get it 3,000 miles away.

Texas State Parks Celebrate The Holiday Season
AUSTIN, Texas — For those who prefer Texas history, colorful traditions and the occasional outdoor setting for holiday festivities, Texas state parks are offering a variety of special events and opportunities for the public during the 2007 holiday season.
Christmas was a very special time for the sailors and officers who served aboard Battleship TEXAS, and the Battleship TEXAS State Historic Site near Houston is inviting the public to celebrate the way the crew members who served aboard her did while serving their country.
The site will be hosting Yuletide Texas throughout the month of December, complete with hundreds of lights, ornaments and decorations in the spirit of the season. The cost is free for Texas State Parks Pass members, $10 for non-members, $5 for senior citizens and children 12 and under are free.
Visitors can step back in time to an 1850s Christmas festival at the Barrington Living History Farm at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site near Brenham. Located at Anson Jones' home, the public is invited to participate in taffy pulling, 1850s crafts, games, hay wagon rides and Chuck wagon cooking Dec. 8. Live music will also be provided by the Grammy-nominated Celtaire String Band. The event will be from 1-8 p.m. and the cost is $2 for Texas State Parks Pass members, $6 for non-members, $4 students and free for children six and under.

Texans of all ages are encouraged to enjoy breakfast on a magnificent covered deck situated right on one of their lakes and take some time to visit with Santa.

Reviews of this property
Cuisine toute équipée, salle de bain propre et lavée tous les jours.
Un peu bruyant, mais c'est Londres.
Situation parfaite avec Liverpool Street.
Good things:
The convenient position, the low price (compared to average prices in London), the kindness of the staff.
Bad things:
The room was really little larger than the bed. It was actually clean, but everything in the house (including the bathroom, the stairs, etc) gives an impression of wretchedness. They gave us two towels for two people in five days and never changed them. It was a little too noisy, but that depends also on the behaviour of other guests.
Sistemazione centralissima, stanza un po piccola, bagno migliorabile (un pò di muffa sui muri). Ma per il resto, prezzo onesto e Marcos è molto gentile e cordiale.
High quality-price ratio for the room.
Very good location, 1 min for the tube, trains and transfer bus to Stansted airport (Liverpool street station), close to pubs and supermarket.
No bad smells but high noise due to a bad insonorization.
Common areas cleaned daily but very small trash bin in the toilet for the trash :-O
Room small but clean, perfect for a long weekend.
Staff very polite and efficient, avaiable 24/7
Free wifi.
The stay was very good, very comfortable beds with a good quilt, bedroom with wardrobe, table, refrigerator and towels. Daily room clean bathroom and kitchen, the kitchen has all kinds of dishes and things you might need for cooking, oven, microwave, toaster, sanwichera, stove ... Bathroom with shower gel and shampoo ... generally all very well. The only impediment I put it is that the lobby of the building is shared with a restaurant and is a foul and a foul smell, but then get on the floor of the room and all good.
La estancia fue muy buena, camas muy cómodas con un buen edredón, habitación con armario, mesa, frigorífico y con toallas. Todos los días limpian cuarto baño y cocina, la cocina tiene todo tipo de vajilla y cosas que puedas necesitar para cocinar, horno, microondas, tostadora, sanwichera, fogones... cuarto baño con gel y champú... en general todo muy bien. El único impedimento que le pongo es que el hall del edificio esta compartido con un restaurante y suele estar sucio y con un olor raro, pero luego subes a la planta de la habitación y todo bien.
Small but fine room. Perfect for a short stay for students for example. Good location, 2 min. walk to Liverpool Street Station and quite at night. Decent bathroom. The stairs are misleading dirty, but upstairs its fine. All in all, good choice for a cheap stay in a good location.
Everything ok, central location, good price-performance ratio. thank you!
Tutto ok, posizione centrale, buon rapporto prezzo-prestazione. grazie!
The room is very central and clean. The bathroom leaves only, alas, to be desired (moldy). Pick up the keys worked fine. Kitchen is available, which is really good with the expensive prices in London.
Das Zimmer liegt super zentral und war sauber. Das Bad lässt dafür leider zu wünschen übrig (schimmlig) .Schlüsselübergabe hat bestens geklappt. Küche ist vorhanden, was bei den teuren Preisen in London echt gut ist.
The very small room enough to sleep and little else.
The bathroom very old, needs updating YA. To turn on the light, for example, you have to pull a ceiling cuerdecita leaving (one short person is not reached).
Overall very average, the stairs to this floor are very narrow and the floor carpet is dirty.
However the location is very good, with bars, restaurants, supermarkets and excellent communication with public transport.
The worst detail was that they wanted to charge £ 5 for two bags of hand leaving a couple of hours since we left the room to catch the bus to the airport.
La habitación muy pequeña, suficiente para dormir y poco más.
El baño muy antiguo, necesita una reforma YA. Para encender la luz, por ejemplo, has de tirar de una cuerdecita que sale del techo (una persona bajita no llega).
En general es muy normalita, las escaleras de acceso a esta planta son muy estrechas y la moqueta del suelo está sucia.
En cambio la ubicación es muy buena, con bares, restaurantes, supermercados y excelente comunicación con el transporte público.
El peor detalle fué que nos quisieron cobrar 5 Libras por dejar dos maletas de mano un par de horas desde que dejamos la habitación hasta coger el bus al aeropuerto.

Election results have been updated.
The dueling Fort Ord land-use measures were leaning toward defeat late Tuesday.
With all precincts reporting, Measure M had 47 percent of voters approving it and 53 percent of voters rejecting it. Measure K had 40 percent for and 60 percent against. The measures need more than 50 percent of "yes" votes to pass.
More than 35,300 people voted for each measure.
"I think we have a good chance of pushing our way through," Jason Campbell, an author of Measure M, said to the crowd of about 80 supporters at the Bay of Pines restaurant in Monterey earlier in the night.
Measure M would have preserved most of about 540 acres of Fort Ord as open space. Measure K would have allowed the proposed horse track and mixed-use development Monterey Downs, or a similar project, in the Parker Flats area.
"It appears the Monterey County voters are going to soundly reject ballot box land-use planning," said Measure K co-author Mary Ann Leffel, president of the Monterey County Business Council.
She said if both measures went down it was "fine with us" because it meant the Fort Ord Reuse Authority could keep the plan it has now.
About 60 supporters of Measure K were at the Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside.
The Yes on K campaign outspent its open space rivals by $257,085 as of the most recent election filings in mid-October.
Measure K had raised $312,904 and Measure M had raised $306,724 as of recent filings.
The pro-growth measure had been given $249,000 by Monterey Downs.
Measure M campaign director Michael Frederiksen shrugged off the spending disparity between the two campaigns Tuesday.
"That's the way it always is when it's environmentalist vs. developers, in a nutshell," he said.
Monterey Downs developer Brian Boudreau said it was "absolutely" worth it to spend the money on the campaign and would not have done anything differently.
He said the development was not going anywhere if Measure M proved a winner.
"FORA, clearly, will not be able to survive a 25 percent reduction in revenue," Boudreau said.
Both measures would drastically affect FORA, whose board of directors meets Friday.
FORA Executive Officer Michael Houlemard said Monday afternoon there were no plans to immediately change the base reuse plan after the election if either measure won.
He said the authority's staff would likely present the possible winner's effects to the board in January and they would go from there. Yet he anticipated legal challenges could delay the process.
"If either one or the other succeeds," he said, "I suspect someone, I'm not sure who, will challenge that."
Houlemard said if Measure M won it would likely mean developer fees would need to be raised for any future projects on Fort Ord because of the loss of major development.
The campaigns, which began with petition drives in April, galvanized open-space advocates opposed to Monterey Downs.
It also motivated pro-business groups eager for more development on the former Army base and veterans groups who feared the proposed Central Coast State Veterans Cemetery would be stopped.
The Measure M campaign mostly focused on the dangers of gambling through horse racing.
The Measure K campaign focused on the open space effort's alleged impact on the cemetery, which became less of an issue after the cemetery got funding in mid-October to begin the project.
Jack Stewart, judge advocate of the United Veterans Council of Monterey County, said Measure M's anti-Monterey Downs strategy probably worked, despite Measure K not explicitly approving the project.
"The big killer is they went with the horse racetrack and gambling," he said, "which is not true."
