I'd like to hear your views on arresting MB figures, and taking their channels off-air.ReplyDelete
This is not good, they are part of Egypt. Regardless if they squandered their opportunity to reconcile.

Zeinobia: I was not happy to see the likes of the despicable TV channel al-Nas being taken off the air after all I would rather know what these creeps are talking about than not knowReplyDelete
However I would like to see the Saudi owner of the channel the despicable Mansour Bin Kadsa being taken to court and yes the anti-Shia nonsense started at the "Support Syria rally" but it was re-enforced and justified on al-Nas and these innocent four shi3as that were killed deserve justice and respect in a new Egypt that belongs to all

Zeinobia: Shaimaa Khalil who works for the British Bullshit Corporation also known as the BBC she has no credibility because the word Islamiya means Islamic it does not mean Islamic revolution as she claims because Islamic revolution means el-thawra el-islamiyya right Shiamaa the fake?ReplyDelete
What a disgrace
But more damaging to this horrible woman is just a few days before the massacre of the four Shi3a she had a sugar coated interview between of all people a Pakistani Shi3a woman and her Sunni husband also from Pakistan and the two live not in Pakistan (where shi3a are being killed by Sunnis) but in England! And poor she Shiamaa the fake was beyond her comfort (oh I,m shocked!) zone for dealing with astaghfirullah a Shi3a but boys and girls all is OK and Shi3a Muslims are loved by Sunnis!!
But where was she when these four innocent shi3a victims were killed in Egypt and would she interview the creeps at al-Nas TV about inciting for such crime? Well I guess this is beyond her comfort zone right Shiamaa?
She is a fakeReplies
My dear anonymousDelete
Shaimaa is not a fake , she is my friend and I know her work very well. Unfortunately when the Islamists chant Islamist in their protests they refer to the Islamic revolution.

Zeinobia: Let me start by saying that your blog is miles ahead of this woman Shaimaa and this is no BSDelete
>My dear anonymous
Shaimaa is not a fake ,
You need to look up what the word fake means and a fake is he/she who tricks and deceives
> she is my friend
And i can be her friend too and we can even have tea and gateaux but would she befriend a Shi3a or is this beyond her comfort zone as she said while reporting on the British Bullshit Corporation or even worse would she befriend a kafir wa 3ilmanee like me? what do you think?
>and I know her work very well.
And I know her work very well and I have no respect for her because her reporting is fluff and poor oh and fake
You are miles ahead of her and I call her el-muhagabba in residence at the Britsh Bullshit Corporation!
And let me tell you again your blog is miles ahead of her
>Unfortunately when the Islamists chant Islamist in their protests they refer to the Islamic revolution.
This is true but do her readers know that? If she would have written that "Islamiya read it as Islamic revolution" then you will be correct but she did not and then she claims that people were shouting "Islamiyya islamiyya inha thwara islamiyya" at least this would be the translation of her tweet right? I would like to hear it from her source the people at Rab3a el-3Adawiyya and did she provide a link? The answer is no then she did not do her home work! Now do you get it?
In journalism 101 you learn the famous axiom that never assume anything but the real question is how did she make it to the British Bullshit Corporation? I wonder
But most damaging to her case is that she knows that the folks at the BBC watch and review what she says and in today's BBC news she tells us that they are saying Islamiyya islamiyya or Islamic Islamic! Nothing about Islamic revolution or Islamiyya means Islamic revolution
Do you know why she is a fake!
What happened to all the scraggly-bearded Ikhwan? They used to fill this blog with their triumphalist, taunting, anti-secular comments. Suddenly they have fallen silent. What's the problem, little dears? Cat got your tongues? ROTFLMAOReplyDelete

a good start to a new era, arresting elected representatives, shutting down any tv stations and newspapers with opposing views. Installing unelected elements of the old regime back into the judiciary. Governing by army edict and selecting and grooming Baradei someone few Egyptians outside Cairo really know who has never been par of any democratic process or election in Egypt but is liked by the army and the West. Hmm Glad those evil (democratically elected )islamists aren't in power.ReplyDelete

Topic Page: Soka Gakkai
(sō'kä gäk'kī) [Jap.,=Value Creation Society], Japan-based independent lay Buddhist movement. A theological offshoot of Nichiren Buddhism, it was founded (1930) as the Soka Kyoiku Gakkai [Value Creation Educational Society] by Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, educator and follower of the Nichiren Sho sect, to promote his ideas for educational reform, but by 1940 the group concentrated on the propagation of Nichiren Buddhism. The government disbanded the group and arrested its leaders during World War II for its criticism of the Japanese involvement in the war.
In 1945 the group was reorganized and renamed the Soka Gakkai by Makiguchi's disciple, Josei Toda. The society's promises to help adherents achieve happiness and success appealed to millions of Japanese in the difficult years of the postwar era; the movement also stresses the need for world peace. Under its third leader, Daisaku Ikeda, Soka Gakkai experienced significant growth; it has now spread worldwide and has 1.69 million members outside Japan, including 330,000 in the United States; within Japan there are more than 10 million members. In 1975, Soka Gakkai International was established as the worldwide association for the movement; Ikeda became its president. Soka Gakkai has been criticized for its evangelism and exclusiveness, but by the early 1990s it had developed ties with many outside organizations and had become (1981) a nongovernmental organization member of the United Nations.
In 1964 the Soka Gakkai organized Komeito, an independent political party that became the second largest opposition party in the Diet. In 1993–94, Komeito was part of the multiparty government led by Morihiro Hosokawa. Komeito was dissolved in 1994 as part of a realignment among Japanese opposition parties, but the parties that arose from it reunited in 1998 to form New Komeito. New Komeito has been a junior partner in Liberal Democratic–led governments (1999–2009, 2012–).

Forms of Material: Articles, Clippings Files, Correspondence, Interviews, Memorabilia, Microfilms, Photographs, Reviews
Languages: English
The collection of papers traces the pilgrimage of this individual from his roots in socialism through his long search for meaning in life, until he finally embraced Christianity. Throughout his life he took a strong stand on various issues of ethics in government, sanctity of life and moral conduct. He prophesied concerning the woes due a civilization that would not take heed to the decay he described.
The collection includes correspondence, manuscripts by Malcolm, over 940 photographs, scripts and media presentations, published works, memorabilia and a large section of secondary material about Malcolm and the causes he championed.
The correspondence he received is the largest part of the collection, about 47 linear feet. Nearly 1/3 of this (15 linear feet) is classified as Business and Personal, much of it arranged alphabetically by name or topic by Malcolm himself. A dual classification runs through his Business and Personal correspondence, the first section for each letter of the alphabet listing folders that contain several pieces of correspondence all from one source, the second section grouping correspondence of only one or two pieces from each correspondent.
Both lists may need to be consulted to locate a specific correspondent. The largest part of his correspondence (32 linear feet) is from people he briefly met or did not know at all, who just wrote to express thanks for his work or less often to disagree with his position on some topic. This General and Fan correspondence is arranged chronologically from 1935 to 1990.
Since Malcolm often did not keep copies of his letters, his Correspondence Sent occupies only a few inches.
The various manuscript sections of the collection include drafts of books, articles, poems, scripts and speeches. Some of these were never published. The manuscripts are in holograph form, typed or galley proofs.
Muggeridge's published items include books, articles, interviews, scripts and book reviews.
An extensive secondary section includes clippings about Malcolm and his work, clippings about topics that interested him, and manuscripts others wrote and sent for him to critique.
There are several linear inches of material concerning Russia, including both Malcolm's writings and his collection of research material. Several more inches contain a section of material about Mother Teresa and her work among the poor.
Memorabilia includes awards and honors given to Malcolm.
Born in 1903, Malcolm Muggeridge has become one of the notable figures of the twentieth century. He is well-known as an author, journalist, media personality, and in his later years, a leading spokesman for Christianity. Malcolm Muggeridge experienced a life of tension and seeking. Beginning with his socialist upbringing, his father was involved in politics and served as a member of Parliament, his search for satisfaction and justice continued until it culminated in his finally embracing Christianity.
Following his graduation from Cambridge University in 1924, Malcolm taught in India for a few years. This time was formative for him as he experienced India's caste system, likely influencing his iconoclastic nature exhibited so often in later years. After leaving India, he returned to England, married Katherine (Kitty) Dobbs and the couple settled in Egypt for a time. Here Malcolm began his journalism career, fulfilling his one ambition in life by writing pieces for the Manchester Guardian, Calcutta Statesman, Evening Standard, Daily Telegraph and other newspapers.
Malcolm and Kitty moved again, this time to Moscow (1932-1933) to become a part of what they considered the perfect society. Both Malcolm and Kitty had been raised in socialist ideology and longed for a government that truly met the needs of the people. However, while reporting from there for the Manchester Guardian, Malcolm quickly became disillusioned with the Soviet system. He saw first-hand how the peasant population was subjected to starvation and ill treatment by Stalin's regime. Malcolm's reports were rejected; both by leaders in Moscow and also by Western journalists who chose to believe Soviet propaganda.
During his career Malcolm spent many years away from his family, some of these as he became deeply involved in the Second World War that he had predicted. Though his children missed him, his son Leonard said Malcolm's spy involvement gave him opportunity to say with pride, "My Dad's in hush-hush work abroad!"
Muggeridge's wit and style endeared him to many as he became a popular (and controversial) figure on radio and television. From 1953-57 he served as editor of the British humor magazine Punch. During the 1960s this former Socialist and vocal agnostic gradually modified his positions on religion and became a Christian. This journey is recorded in his book Jesus Rediscovered. Attesting to the spiritual changes that had occurred in his life, Muggeridge emerged a strong voice for moral and ethical issues, following his earlier life of indulging in sensual pleasures. Malcolm used the printed word, television and invitations to address attentive groups to oppose abortion and euthanasia, support the rights of the mentally and physically handicapped or boldly disagree with governments and society. Public reaction to the controversial Malcolm Muggeridge was strong, though not always favorable. In spite of this, those close to Malcolm knew him for seeing the humor in life, even in the serious and solemn things.
Malcolm's journey to faith encompassed much of his life. In spite of his concern about the drift of the Christian church via liberalism and permissive morality into moral chaos, he eventually joined the Catholic Church because of their strong stand against abortion and birth control. The dedication and compassion of Mother Teresa and Fr. Paul Bidone were instrumental in Malcolm joining the Church. In 1983 Malcolm and Kitty Muggeridge became members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Malcolm's one relaxation was walking--alone, with Kitty, with family--walking and conversing. And at home he was always ready for visitors. He would break his routine willingly to entertain people from all over the world, from different walks of life--invited or not. And Kitty would serve tea. Malcolm's myriad letters from those who had been guests confirm that they felt greatly honored. Malcolm and Kitty had a way of making everyone feel they were special friends.
Malcolm was first and foremost a writer and thinker, who contributed greatly to the literature and thought of the twentieth century. As Canon David Winter stated, the true value of having Malcolm's papers at Wheaton College comes through being able to preserve "the voice of a craftsman of the English language--and a Christian voice which speaks with all the more splendor because it was born from a seed that was full of doubt, cynicism and self-promotion."
Malcolm Muggeridge, after a fruitful life of constant interaction and tension with life, entered eternal rest November 14, 1990.

Last year this Cuban American MC installed himself as the commander of a worldwide dance-rap scene with "Planet Pit," which spawned a series of club-ready hits featuring the likes of Marc Anthony ("Rain Over Me"), Chris Brown ("International Love") and Ne-Yo (the Hot 100-topping "Give Me Everything"). Having evidently found leadership to his liking, Pitbull is now seeking a second term.
"Don't stop the party!" he barks not long into his new album, and the rest of "Global Warming" gives you little opportunity to consider other options. It's an all-night rager as envisioned by the planet's best-dressed autocrat.
What makes Pitbull's rule tolerable is his goofy shamelessness. Though the approach here precisely mirrors that on "Planet Pit" — think big beats and bigger cameos — he's using his increased power to venture even more daringly beyond the limits of good taste. In "Have Some Fun" he and guests the Wanted riff on "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow, while "Feel This Moment" (with Christina Aguilera) turns A-ha's '80s synth-pop curio "Take on Me" into the stuff of a Las Vegas bachelorette bash. The title track is bolder still: It opens the album with the unmistakable keyboard pulse of Los del Rio's 1996 novelty smash "Macarena."

That is why most vehicle manufacturers do not suggest having large cracks repaired and recommend replacement. Your life is much more important than saving a couple hundred dollars on a quality windshield replacement.

The way forward for American unions
It's almost too easy. "Big Labor" or "the unions" are now political epithets for conservatives, and a dismissive shorthand among the political class for an moribund movement whose death has seemed destined for decades.
Big Labor's bitter fate has been exacerbated by a reactionary worldview every bit as outdated as the one Mitt Romney propagated in his 47 percent speech.
Story Continued Below
Labor leaders have remained famously tone deaf for decades, ignoring the political and economic realities that have been slapping their members in the face with every plant closing and political rout. But champions of American capitalism should not be celebrating these missteps but instead begin reaching out to their former foes to focus on how to expand the middle class by reforming Big Labor.
Such change is always a difficult. In this case, it will be a particularly heavy lift.
A brief look at history shows that the past half century has not been kind to unions. Since 1947, workers who preferred choice in the marketplace supported "Right-to-Work" laws at the ballot box. That steady drumbeat against closed union shops continued this week in Michigan, where the legislature enacted Right-to-Work laws in America's most unionized state. Michigan now becomes the 24th state to bring choice into the workplace since the Taft-Hartley Act passed in 1947.
Taft-Hartley amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act, which gave labor bosses the power to fire workers who refused to join a union. After Taft-Hartley, states were given the right to enact Right-to-Work laws. In the 65 years that have followed, unions have suffered one defeat after another at the hands of the American voter.
Unlike many of my conservative brethren, I take no delight in the collapse of unions nor am reflexively anti-union for reasons that are personal, political and practical.
Personally, I have always related more to union workers than corporate bosses because I grew up in a family where we were always the employees instead of the employers. Like a lot of kids of my generation, I saw the workplace through the eyes of my dad. His struggles to get ahead at work, deal with irrational bosses or keep his job during bad economic times shaped my views of the workplace.
That point of view was not evident in my congressional voting record, where I usually voted against union leaders' political agendas. But I was still always looking for opportunities to support union workers. That was not only because of personal sympathies but also because of political realities. For reasons that escaped my Democratic opponents, I got the vote of most union members in my district.
I remember attacking "union bosses" during the 1996 campaign. The AFL-CIO had earmarked $100 million in a nasty campaign to defeat freshman Republicans. After one speech, a big guy who had been to my house to fix a phone took me to the side and whispered, "Hey Congressman, shut up."
"Stop trashing unions," he said. "Ignore the attack ads. We're all still voting for you."

Mark Silvers shot Day 2�s lowest round at the Cutter Creek Golf Classic on Friday, a 7-under 65 to jump up 37 spots for a share of the lead. He sits atop the leaderboard at 8-under � 136 for the tournament � alongside Ben Klaus and Kevin Hall.
SNOW HILL � Mark Silvers shot Day 2�s lowest round at the Cutter Creek Golf Classic on Friday, a 7-under 65 to jump up 37 spots for a share of the lead. He sits atop the leaderboard at 8-under � 136 for the tournament � alongside Ben Klaus and Kevin Hall.
Klaus has posted back-to-back 4-under 68s and Hall boasted a 6-under 66 to share the lead.
With the field cut at 1-under, 64 of the 134 golfers who entered the NGA event at Cutter Creek Golf Club are expected to tee off today.
Clayton Rask, who shot a Round 1-best 66 on Thursday, shot a 2-over 75 to fall to a 10-way tie for 28th position. Brandon Brown, who tied a course record 9-under, 63 en route to winning the 2011 Classic, is sitting at 3-under for the tournament as well.
Also tied for 28th is Blayne Barber, who posted a reversal of Rask�s scores. He recovered from a Day 1 75 by posting a 6-under on Friday.
�I�ve been really close for the last few weeks and I just finally got some putts to go in the hole today,� Barber said. �(The course) is really tough, the greens are really fast. It�s a good challenge out there; you�ve got to play really smart.�
He added the big turnaround leaves him optimistic for finishing the tournament.
�I brought myself back into contention,� he said. �I�m going to keep doing what I�ve been doing and we�ll see what happens this week.�
Cutter Creek Director of Golf Burt Williams agreed that the greens are beginning to play tough. Although it rained Tuesday night he said it didn�t do a lot to slow them down.
�The greens are drying out, so we�re double cutting them at night and then again in the morning,� Williams said. �They�re very quick.�
He added that as the course has matured it has also provided a bigger challenge to the golfers.
�(Friday) morning the course played tough because the wind was blowing, it was pretty gusty,� he said. �I think we�re going to end up seeing 10 to 12(-under par) to win.�
Rhein Gibson, the tournaments defending champion, finished his attempt at defending by posting a two-day even par, missing the cut. Lucas Black posted an even par 72 on Friday but could not recover from a 9-over on Day 1 of the tournament. The actor-turned-golfer, who was participating in his first professional event, finished tied for 115th place.
Round 3 of the Cutter Creek Golf Classic tees off today at 7:30 a.m. Admission to the event is free.

As pressure from consumer and labor-rights groups over factory safety in Bangladesh intensifies, a number of leading U.S. brands and retailers are drafting a new plan to prevent future workplace disasters in the South Asian nation's garment industry. Nearly three weeks after a deadly building collapse prompted more than 40 apparel businesses, most of them European, to enter into the legally binding Accord on Fire and Building and Safety in Bangladesh, a North American alliance that includes the National Retail Federation, the American Apparel and Footwear Association, Gap, JCPenney, Sears, Target, and Walmart seeks to "develop and implement a new program to improve fire and safety regulations in the garment factories of Bangladesh," according to a statement from the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank that's facilitating the effort.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader (and BPC co-founder) George J. Mitchell and former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe convened the first of several working sessions in New York City on Wednesday to establish a "single, unified action plan and schedule" by early July.
The BPC expects to establish a "single, unified action plan and schedule" by early July.
The BPC expects to establish a "single, unified action plan and schedule" by early July.
"Since the recent tragedy, the retailers, brands, and trade associations have made considerable individual and collective progress developing new worker safety programs," Jason Grumet, president of the BPC, said in a press release. "Over the next several weeks, we look forward to building on the efforts of the Safer Factory Initiative and seeking input from key stakeholders to forge an effective response."
Bill Chandler, Gap's vice president of global corporate affairs, said in a statement on Friday that the company is hopeful that discussions will result in a "plan for long-lasting change for the garment industry in Bangladesh."
"We believe the American alliance can be a powerful path forward to achieve lasting change in Bangladesh, and will build upon the work that is already underway," he added. "We will focus our energies on participating in a way that helps this effort be successful."

Not everyone is a fan of the competing proposal, however.
"The idea that you would bring all these people together in this new effort is a good first step," Richard M. Locke, an expert on overseas manufacturing at the MIT Sloan School of Management, told the New York Times. "But I don't think it's good to have competing initiatives."
U.S. lawmakers have raised concerns over corporate-led labor and safety programs.
U.S. lawmakers have raised concerns over corporate-led labor and safety programs.
Philip J. Jennings, general secretary of Uni Global Union, an international coalition of 20 million retail and service workers that helped develop the initial Bangladesh accord, was less generous. "It's a sham; there is no valid reason why they can't join the initiative we have launched," he said. "[The plan] has been well-received. Now they seem to want to paddle their own canoe on their own terms."
U.S. lawmakers have likewise raised concerns over corporate-led labor and safety programs. Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, warned last month that the oversight process has been "left up to the retailers, suppliers and government all these years, and that hasn't worked."
Echoing that sentiment at a call with reporters on Friday was Representative George Miller (D-Calif.), who also questioned the effectiveness of a non-binding agreement. "What good would this agreement be if it wasn't binding?" Miller said. "If it's not enforceable, not binding, then it's just what we have today: We have statements."

Historic Webbley � a Cleveland County landmark, long the home of well-known Gardner and Webb family members and a former bed-and-breakfast � is for sale with a list price of $1.6 million.
SHELBY � U.S. presidents have visited it.
Part of a controversial 1915 silent film is set there.
Governors, football coaches and movie stars have stayed on site.
Historic Webbley � a Cleveland County landmark, long the home of well-known Gardner and Webb family members and a former bed-and-breakfast � is for sale with a list price of $1.6 million.
O. Max Gardner III, who owns the uptown Shelby property, said he wants a buyer to preserve the property as it is.
�We have a pretty large livestock and kennel operation in Casar. We�re going to focus more of our time up there than down here,� he said. �I�m also close to the end of retiring from my law practice. I�ll be 68 in October.�
Gardner said his son � who died in a 2005 vehicle wreck � would have been the person in line to take over the property.
He said he�d like to see Webbley return to being a bed-and-breakfast.
�We�re talking to people who have interest in it for that,� he said. �When we had the bed-and-breakfast before, we didn�t have the Gibson Theatre. That would be a big plus, as will the Earl Scruggs Center when it opens. And we didn�t have all the restaurants there are now.�
Several people have already shown interest in the site, said Joyce Elliott, an agent with Allen Tate Realtors.
�It�s not something that�s going to sell in the next minute or two,� Elliott said. �It�s right ready to make another bed-and-breakfast. With its background, we feel like we�re selling history.�

Why the difference between sale price and tax value?
The sales price is based on a certified master appraiser�s value, according to property owner O. Max Gardner III.
�It is very common for such a valuation to exceed the tax value of a property like the Webbley,� Gardner said.

Tesla's Musk slams N.Y. Times review
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk isn't used to bad reviews.
Tesla's all-electric luxury sedan, the Model S, makes most auto reviewers gush like smitten teens. Introduced last year, the Model S even won Motor Trend's Car of the Year award.
So when the New York Times this weekend ran an extremely harsh review of the car's performance in cold weather - complete with a photo of the car getting towed - Musk didn't take it lightly.
In a spat that played out via Twitter and TV, Musk on Monday called the review "fake" and accused the author, John M. Broder, of writing a hit piece.
Broder, Musk said, had left out key details that would have helped explain why the car's massive battery pack ran out of juice during a test drive up the East Coast.
"We think the article is something of a setup," Musk said on CNBC. "It's pretty unreasonable. I don't want to paint the whole New York Times as being problematic, but I do think that this writer and this particular article really (are) misleading."
The Times, in an e-mailed statement, stood behind the review, saying Broder described his trip exactly as it happened.
"Any suggestion that the account was 'fake' is, of course, flatly untrue," the statement read.
The article appeared to have a real effect on Tesla stock, which closed down 2 percent at $38.42.
Tesla has been ramping up production of the Model S at its factory in Fremont and is expected to report next week how many cars it has delivered to date. The car is priced from $59,900 to $94,900 before state and federal incentives are factored in.
The company, based in Palo Alto, made fewer cars than expected last year, in part because Tesla executives were afraid quality could slip if they revved production too quickly.
So Broder's review touched a nerve.
He decided to drive a Model S from Washington, D.C., toward Boston, making use of two "supercharger" stations that Tesla had installed along the route.
The company is in the process of building a nationwide network of charging stations that can add enough power in 30 minutes to travel 150 miles.
Another New York Times reporter in September drove a Model S from Lake Tahoe to Los Angeles using Tesla superchargers, and the trip went off without a hitch.
That wasn't the case with Broder.
While driving in 30-degree weather, he noticed that the car's instruments showed his battery range dropping unusually fast. He called Tesla and followed their directions for saving power, such as turning off the heater and slowing down to 54 mph (not the safest thing to do on a Mid-Atlantic highway).
He stopped for the night in Groton, Conn., didn't plug in the car overnight, and ran out of power on the road the following day. Cue the tow truck.
In a series of tweets Monday morning, Musk said Broder hadn't quite told the whole story. The car's data log showed that when Broder charged up, he didn't charge the battery to full, Musk said. The log also showed that Broder had taken a long detour.
"I mean, it's just like if you had a gasoline car, if you only filled the tank up part way and instead of driving to your destination, you meandered through downtown Manhattan and through all the traffic and everything, and then raced to where you were originally supposed to go, and you ran out of gas, people would just think you're a fool," Musk said on CNBC.
Broder mentioned in his story that he made a stop in Manhattan but didn't write about it in detail.
"He described the entire drive in the story; there was no unreported detour," read the statement from the Times. "And he was never told to plug the car in overnight in cold weather, despite repeated contact with Tesla."

Early last week the Board of Directors at St. Joseph Manor in Thibodaux announced plans to develop Cardinal Place, the first independent living facility for locals age 55 and older in the Houma-Thibodaux area.
Early last week the Board of Directors at St. Joseph Manor in Thibodaux announced plans to develop Cardinal Place, the first independent living facility for locals age 55 and older in the Houma-Thibodaux area.
Slated to open in spring 2014, the "maintenance free" residential development is reserved for those who may no longer be able to maintain the exterior of their large houses including painting and mowing the lawn, St. Joseph Manor Marketing Director Natalie Barbera said.
Board Member Ann Thibodaux said St. Joseph Manor staff will maintain the outside, as well as provide a concierge service for indoor maintenance issues.
"If they call and say they're having a plumbing issue, we can help them with that service and arrange to have it taken care of," Thibodaux said.
The idea has been in the works since 2005. Cardinal Place will include one- and two-bedroom apartments, all with balconies or patios, in a two- or three-story building with elevators and covered parking.
The first phase of Cardinal Place will include 24 apartments. Pricing has not been set but will vary based on the size of the unit.
"The difference between Cardinal Place and what's offered now at St. Joseph is that here we offer all inclusive services — three meals a day, cleaning, etc. We're a licensed assisted living community," Thibodaux said. "Cardinal Place will be an independent living community, and the advantage is having a community concept where residents are able to gather with people their own age and socialize."
Thibodaux said the board began brainstorming in 2005 "to see what more could we do to serve the older population in Thibodaux."
"We have three wonderful nursing facilities and a very successful assisted living facility we're so proud of. That's when we looked at the opposite end," she said.
Years of market research have gone into the project, Barbera said, adding the staff felt "we don't have anything like this in our community, so there's a real need for it."
"The older people in the area kind of form their own little unofficial retirement communities in local neighborhoods, condominiums and apartment complexes because we don't offer it yet," she said. "But it's an important transition before assisted living without the hassle of being responsible for a big home and insurance and upkeep. All of that will be taken care of for them."
Cardinal Place will begin individual pre-sale meetings over the next two months. For more information, contact Thibodaux or Barbera at 859-5353.

Social Security starts its downward slide this year. Because of the recession and 10 percent unemployment, payroll tax receipts will fall below pensions paid out for the first time.
Today's retirees need not worry. The imbalance will not affect the program until 2037, or thereabouts. Because income has exceeded expenses for decades, the Social Security trust fund has a balance of about $2.5 trillion invested in Treasury bills. The interest on those notes added to payroll tax receipts will keep pension checks flowing for a few years.

Aftercare Instructions
Follow these Tips to Insure the Best Tanning Results
There are many variables that affect the quality of an airbrushed tan. Two individuals can receive the exact same tanning treatment and experience very different results. Spray tan solution reacts differently with different skin types. What may appear to be a deep, dark color on one person may look golden on another. Also, in general, people with darker skin tones will experience darker sunless tanning results.
Women's Bag Color White Evening Bag Fashion Pearl Champagne Handbag KERVINFENDRIYUN Square Small
- Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and flip flops after your tan is KERVINFENDRIYUN Women's Champagne Color Handbag Fashion Square Bag Pearl White Bag Small Evening COMPLETELY dry. Wearing tight fitting clothing will rub on your tan and cause it to develop unevenly. NO BRAS! If you need to put on tight clothing before your first shower, wait at least 4 hours.
- DO NOT wet your skin for at least 8 hours after tanning. The longer the solution has time to react with your skin the better your tan will develop. Avoid exercising or perspiring as this may cause your tan to streak until your first shower. Use a towel for leather and light colored seats on warm days and an umbrella for rainy days.
- Shower normally and don't be concerned if some color washes off. This is normal. It is the initial bronzing agent which won't affect the color of your tan. Use a mesh shower puff LIGHTLY, NEVER SCRUB! Always try to shower in warm water, not hot!
- Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! TWICE or MORE daily! Applying moisturizer to your skin the first 10 minutes out of the shower is best! Hydrated skin makes your tan last longer. Alcohol based products are drying to the skin making your tan fade more quickly. Avoid using lotions with AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid), BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), Retin-A and Mineral Oil in it. Absolutely NO DOVE PRODUCTS! Avoid exfoliating, hair removal creams or bleaching products. Sulfate free body wash is best.
- Bag Champagne Small Bag Fashion Women's Pearl White Color Handbag Square Evening KERVINFENDRIYUN White Champagne Women's Handbag Fashion Small KERVINFENDRIYUN Bag Bag Square Color Pearl Evening Avoid long, hot showers/baths, hot tubs and long periods in pools and oceans. If so, use waterproof sunscreen to seal your tan in. No oil! Always PAT dry with a towel after showering and when washing hands.
Remember, not all skin will tan the same. The better condition your skin is in, the better your tan will look and last. We recommend using Brown Sugar- Sugar Coat Spray, Aveda Replenishing Moisturizer and Aveda Calming Body Wash. It contains the most effective ingredients to extend the life of your tan and to make sure it fades evenly. Certain foods such as sardines, medications, and a host of other factors such as "that time of the month" can affect the pH balance of your skin. This pH imbalance affects the way in which the DHA reacts with your skin and for no apparent reason you may fade unevenly or appear blotchy.
In the event your tan starts to fade unevenly, we recommend using Brown Sugar- Sugar Coat Spray to fill in those areas. It is a fine aerosol mist which dries in less than 2 minutes. In the rare chance you develop darker spots on your skin, use a little hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, or whitening toothpaste to even them out. Dab on with a qtip.
Wearing white clothing is not recommended until AFTER your second shower. Some people hold on the bronzing agent a little longer than others so you may see a hint more wash down the drain with the second showering. After that, you'll be fine. Also remember, wearing consistently tighter clothing will rub on the tan and you may fade faster in those areas.
IMPORTANT! Our tanning solution does not provide ANY sun protection and it does NOT contain sunscreen. Make sure to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors!
Products to Avoid List
This is a list of commonly used body care products that can have a detrimental affect on an Airbrushed tan. This is not all-inclusive. Not everyone will have a problem with these items. This is only a guide. If you have any questions or concerns, please as your tanning technician.

The following products can lighten or make a sunless tan blotchy:
- A women's tan may develop differently during various hormonal changes such as ovulation, menstruation or pregnancy. It may be streaky, patchy, fade worse, or produce lighter or no color.
- AHA products such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Glycolic, Lactic, Malic, Citric, and Tartaric Acids.
- Anti-Acne products that exfoliate or dry the skin. Accutane and Salicylic acid can affect tan fading. Skin can also peel when using these products. Antibiotics or other medications that affect your skin can also affect your tan.
- Anti- Aging products that "renew" or "refresh" or otherwise exfoliate skin
- Band-Aid or adhesive tape applied to skin will pull tan off.
- Bars soaps, especially deodorant or antibacterial varieties. Use sulfate free body wash get instead! Shoulder Top Handle Patern Tote Ladies Large Handbag Bags Sunflower Women Bennigiry wXxqAtIPt
- BHA Products such as Beta Hydroxy Acids- salicylic acid.
- Body hair bleaching products
- Adhesive facials strips or peel off masks
- Bug sprays, perfumes, body sprays when sprayed directly onto skin can remove or fade the tan. Instead, spray clothing or spray a cloud of spray that you can walk through.
- Curel lotion has destroyed a few tans
- Dove soap and shower gel will fade tan faster on most people. NO DOVE PRODUCTS!
- White Bag Fashion KERVINFENDRIYUN Women's Evening Handbag Champagne Color Pearl Bag Square Small Facial masks and exfoliation scrubs
- Hair inhibiting lotions, such as Jergens, can tend to make a sunless tan yellow.
- If you exercise and sweat heavily, your tan will fade faster. Especially in body fold areas... arm bends, knee bends, and between breasts
- In winter skin is often very dry and your tan will fade faster. Moisturize more often at least twice a day. Aveda replenishing moisturizer is a very good body lotion for this. Stay away from lotions with MINERAL OIL as its first few ingredients. Mineral oil as well as baby oil are both bad for sunless tanning.

- Pat dry out of the shower NEVER RUB skin dry.
- Evening White Champagne Fashion Pearl Bag Square Women's Small Bag KERVINFENDRIYUN Color Handbag People with oily skin tend to develop a lighter tan than people with dry skin. The oils can coat the skin. Dry skin absorbs more products faster so the tan can look darker as well.
- Retin-A type products such as Retin-A, Renova, Tazorac, and Tretinoin all will cause faster fading.
- Shaving exfoliates the skin so also fades the tan. Use a sharp, clean razor with hair conditioner instead of shaving cream.
- Submersion in hot tubs or swimming pools due to the chlorine. Your tan will fade FAST if you spend a lot of time in pools and oceans. Chlorine will fade your tan right off.
- Toners containing Alcohols or Which Hazel in the top three ingredients listed are bad to use before or during the course of your airbrush tan
- Use a soft mesh shower puff for daily washing and scrub gloves or loofas for exfoliating days
- Wax or Depilatory hair removal products such as Nair, Veet or Neet.

Your son's life-long best friend is two years older. Now that they're 12 and 14, two years seems like a decade. How can you help?
Parent advice
(from our panel of staff contributors)
Two years is a decade at that stage of life. The older friend will get into certain movies sooner, will start high school two years earlier, may start dating sooner and will have his driver's license two years sooner (and your son will not be permitted to ride along, right?). If the older boy is pulling away a bit, you can help your son understand that that's the way it goes sometimes. If your son is eager to keep up with his older bud, you'll have to be sure he doesn't get into age-inappropriate activities, and you'll have to be the bad guy saying, "I don't care if Andrew is (doing/going whatever). You're not."
— Phil Vettel
Consider organizing, in a totally casual way, some all-age event you know both would enjoy: Baseball game? Trip to an auto show/outdoors show? Comics convention? Not an every-weekend thing, but something occasional. The friendship between the two may evolve to another dynamic that's comfortable for both kids.
— Judy Hevrdejs
If a friendship has lasted a lifetime, it should have a basis of affection and respect, so trust those. Talk with your son about situations that arise. If the older friend wants to do something or go somewhere that is not age-appropriate for your son, offer to be the bad guy so your son can save face and say, "I'd love to, but my over-protective parents won't let me!"
— Dodie Hofstetter
Expert advice
You can help by realizing that this is a really, really huge deal to your son … or no big deal at all. Or maybe both. On the same day.
"Friendships in those years often shift every couple months," says psychologist Anthony Rao, author of "The Way of Boys: Raising Healthy Boys in a Challenging and Complex World" (William Morrow). "Great friendships break down and come back together over and over. It can seem really frenetic to parents, but we should step back and support and not try to engineer or fix it."
A friendship with a two-year spread, especially at 12 and 14, is likely to hit a rough patch at some point.
"A 12-year-old, particularly a boy, still has one foot in childhood: toys, activities, things he likes to play with. Whereas a 14-year-old has crossed completely into a new social world where he's leaving objects and toys in favor of social media and is becoming highly status-conscious. His thinking starts to become more abstract and he's looking at his identity and society and how he fits into it. A lot of 12-year-old boys go around looking like they've just rolled out of bed and don't think too much about it."
That dichotomy doesn't make a friendship impossible, of course. But it throws a few hurdles into the mix. And that may not be a bad thing.
"It's actually good for them to try to make as many friends as possible during the pre-teen and teen years," says Rao. "A lot of their experience knowing who they like and who they are and where they fit in happens by having many, many relationships. And some of those relationships have to break down."
If your son is feeling hurt or rejected, though, he could use some comforting and some perspective —provided you're subtle.
"It can be a very wounding thing for the kid who gets left behind," says Rao. "It's a good time to beef up your compliments in areas that your son has some control over. 'Wow, you're the master of the universe in karate lately!' "
You might also offer examples of relationships in your own life that have ebbed and flowed over the years, knowing that a two-year age difference will seem like a blip when they've grown into adults.
And take care to keep the conversation positive, even if you think your son's pal is being a pill.
"Never diss the kid or the kid's family," Rao says. "Whenever we start getting really emotional, it's probably a cue that this is tapping into memories of something that happened to us. It's important to think of this as a fantastic teachable moment."

The Membership Relations Committee is happy to showcase some ArkGeo Geocachers through the "Geocacher Profile". The committee thought Kristie Boucher Moore aka Guwisti should be the next cacher to be in the spotlight.
What is your geocaching name?
How did you choose your handle?
It is my other name.
How long have you been geocaching?
Since Feb. 26th, 2010. I had looked unsuccessfully for one for about a week before that.
How did you find your first Geocache, and which one was it?
Well, as mentioned above I had tried unsuccessfully to find a couple before I did find one. I finally found my first cache while on my lunch break and it was GC1GQ4W - Semi Turn on the top of Log Town Hill there in Van Buren. As soon as my husband Chris, (Pizzaboy2600) got home I said, we gotta go find you a cache!
Who usually goes with you when you go caching?
Most of the time it is actually my mom (cacher with no name). She loves going Geocaching! And then I probably go caching just as much with my husband PB. And our nephew Agalisiga (real name and caching name) also loves to go caching when he stays with us or when we visit him. We recently converted his dad into geocaching too! Finally!
How long will you work on puzzle caches before you give up?
Puzzles hurt my head. Seriously. Chris and I surprised everyone by getting a FTF on a puzzle a couple of years ago. Triangulation = great. Puzzle puzzles = usually puzzled. I'll look at them and if it doesn't come to me in a few minutes I might not ever look at it again. Just depends.
What town/areas have you most enjoyed caching in?
We love caching in our home areas of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma....but I think we love caching when we travel the most. It helps us find cool spots we never would have seen, local places to eat, etc. New Orleans was a blast, and North Carolina is just gorgeous.
Do you do paperless caching?
Yes, in the way that you mean it. But I usually keep a small memo book and write down the caches we get in order, plus a word or two to help me remember any interesting things that happened along the way. Especially if we're doing a run.
What kind of geocaching rig do you use?
I'm a proud iPhone - Groundspeak app user! I have a Garmin...do I use my Garmin?...ehh.
Why would you recommend anyone else to take up geocaching?
Get out and see the world in a new way! Discover new things! Drive the back roads, roll down your windows, sing your little heart out, moo at the cows and sign logs along the way...what could be more fun?!?!
Where are you originally from?
I was born in ElDorado, KS and spent half of my formative years there and half in Claremore, OK. I'm a KansOkie.
In what states have you geocached?
13 states. AR, OK, KS, MO, IN, KY, LA, IL, NC, TN, MS, SC, TX
What was your first event ever attended?
The first event I ever attended was my own! I wanted to meet local cachers so PB and I hosted a Flashmob event. GC26J7Q - Stand! WWFM VII. This event was also my first cache "hide". We danced to the song Stand by R.E.M. Well, like 3 of us danced....the rest stood and laughed at us. If ya wanna meet folks be proactive!
How many caches have you found?
1638 as of June 30th, 2014...hoping to get to 2000 by the end of the year. I tend to get out and cache more in the cooler months.
Which type of cache container do you prefer over the rest?
BIG ONES! I love getting to root around in a cache. But also Virtuals, I LOVE Virtuals, especially since most of them are historically themed.
What was the most famous cache that you have found?
VIEW CARRE' - GCE02C in New Orleans. We had asked ArkGeo members about caches to do while on our honeymoon there and several folks mentioned this cache. The cache is now archived but has 851 favorites! It was at the top of a business building. We met an employee at the desk and rode the elevator all the way to the top and then you rode the service elevator above that. The cache was in an old trunk and was stuffed to the gills with items. Then the worker would lead you out on to the roof and you could see all of New Orleans pretty much, definitely an awesome view of the French Quarter. The cache owner was busy that day, but his employee worked at the art museum during Katrina and he told us stories for about an hour up on that roof. About bringing the artwork out of the museum under armed guard. Other stories as well, stuff that the news doesn't tell you.
Do you use disposable batteries or rechargeable batteries?
Disposable in my GPSr, but I don't use it very often.
Do you enjoy hiding or finding more as your part of the hobby?
Both really. I like to find definitely....but reading cache logs, especially on that first day when they start rolling in, is pretty awesome too.
Do you have a personal goal in mind when you make a hide?
I try to have the cache placed at a cool location, usually historical. But I have some that are just out there to be out there.
What is your favorite type of cache hide?
Something that takes me to either a pretty place, a unique place, or some place historical. I like them all to be honest though.
Out of all your hides, what are your personal favorites that you take pride in?
I like to host events and I like to think that people enjoy themselves. I also like my letterbox caches because I enjoy handcarving the stamps.
What do you think the proper hide to find ratio should be to keep the sport fresh?
Ehh. I don't know. I think cache hiding is cyclical, much like fishing in a lake. There seems to be some stagnant time, then some turnover time, then a crop of new cachers and caches. I think to each their own.
How did you end up getting into this wacky hobby?
I had read about it in a librarian journal, before I ever found one. I signed up for an account, but then didn't find one until about a year later.
What's your favorite geocache?
I can't pick just one...seriously?
Favorite Puzzle - GC2D90K - Raining Letters in Louisville, KY
Favorite Virtual - Tie between GC84C0 - Top of the Smokies Virtual Picture Cache outside of Cherokee, NC or GCGFHX - Marie LaVeau, Voodoo Queen in New Orleans, LA.
Favorite Multi - View Carre in New Orleans, LA
Favorite Earthcache - GC17N7Z - Selenite Crystal Earthcache in TN.
Favorite Webcam - GCA4C4 - Ghostcam Cache in Evansville, IN
Too many others to pick from.
If money was no object, where would you like to go geocaching?
Um, if money was no object I would like to cache EVERYWHERE! If I won the lotto, I wouldn't go out buying a whole bunch of stuff. Stuff is yuck. I would travel and see the world!
Do you like geocaching by yourself or in a group?
I much prefer caching with someone, at least one other someone. Big group, not so much.
How many First to Finds do you have?
Are you a First to Find person who is always set on go and if so, how many miles out do you have your settings on to get notifications?
I was at first. Now it's almost gotta be in the same town for me to go out. But I have my notifications set to 50 miles...I think, whatever is the farthest I can set it. And that's because we stay in Tahlequah a bunch and I like to try and get FTF's up there with our nephew.
Do you have any other hobbies besides geocaching?
Fishing, Camping, Reading.

Goat Rocks Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Goat Rocks Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 108,023 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Washington and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe Goat Rocks Wilderness is a portion of the volcanic Cascade Mountain Range in southwestern Washington located between Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams. The Goat Rocks are remnants of a large volcano, extinct for some two million years. Glaciation and erosion have worn away at the terrain here, leaving moderate summits on both sides of the crest of the Cascades. The elevation in the Goat Rocks ranges from 3,000 feet to 8,201 feet at Gilbert Peak. The deep east-west drainages below the ridges often open into park-like alpine meadows dotted with small lakes and even smaller ponds. Annual snowfall typically equals more than 25 feet, not melting entirely until late July or early August and keeping the ponds and lakes full when it does give in to the sun. Pikas and marmots scurry about above timberline, while the more reserved deer and elk have been spotted lower down. Mountain goats frequently show up in the higher country. Much of the 120-mile trail system stays on the ridges at or above timberline. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) wanders north-south through the middle of the Wilderness for 31.1 miles, past 7,930-foot Old Snowy Mountain, where glaciers persist. Approximately 14 other trails climb to eventually join the PCT.

I have always hated running. In high school, I yelled at my gym teacher during the dreaded (and mandatory) one-mile run – the one and only time I got in trouble in school. I love the idea of being a runner. I love the freedom running gives you and the sense of accomplishment at the end of a workout. Still, I could never get over the feeling of not being able to breathe. I was never comfortable with that initial lack of oxygen that kicked in after I ran a block or two. Nevertheless, I have been determined to become a runner and hell I'm still stubborn enough to hold myself to that goal.
I recently began running on the treadmill at school (not the same as being outside – but it's a freakin arctic tundra out there!). I decided to hold off setting any mileage goals because I was completely unaware of my own capability. Instead, I told myself I was going to go for at least 20 minutes regardless of the distance or the pace.
I made it about 2 miles in 20 minutes, which isn't very fast and not a record breaking distance. What-ev! I still was proud that I got myself to do it anways! I've been averaging about the same time this whole week. I'm hoping to push myself farther and faster next week. I don't feel physically dead by the end of the 2 miles, but mentally I can't seem to convince myself that I'm able to go father.
Once I go as long as I can with the running, I switch to the recumbant bike and ride that for about 20 minutes at a medium level.
I feel much more comfortable being out of breath than I did in the past. I attribute this to my P90x exercises and plan on to still keep those videos in my workout rotation. My legs are much stronger from doing the program before and it seems to have kept them from aching while I run.
My goal? To run a 5-K by this summer. I know physically I'm totally capable. I could probably do it now, although I wouldn't be nearly fast enough. So I have plenty of time to train and get myself prepared mentally and physicaly.
Why am I so determined to run?
1. To prove to myself that I can.
2. I saw this book called, Born to Run which is about a man's quest to find the world's "superathletes" which leads him to a tribe which runs for miles upon miles in the mountains…barefoot.
3. Runner's World Magazine – just reading it makes me want to push myself harder. Hearing other people's stories lights a fire under my butt.
4. My husband – he has always told me I have the build for running and is always supportive.
5. Food – I like to eat and running is a great way to burn off those extra calories that comes along with a passion for food.
For anyone who is also interested in running, there are some great sites that can help you get started – as well as some amazing tools to keep you on track!
Map My Run – this website is great if you want to plan a run through your community. Other runners map out their favorite runs that you can use or you can map out your own favorite spots! Tells you how far you'll end up going, etc.
Cool Running – fantastic site with lots of helpful tips and plans to get you from your couch to running a 5-K in no time. Tons of helpful info including gear, safety, nutrition, injury prevention and training plans. Even great for experienced runners and marathoners.
Run the Planet – another great website for finding routes, proper shoes, upcoming races and much, much more.

A field fire five miles north of Peabody on Monday afternoon burned close to 100 acres of soybeans and wheat-stubble, and threatened some abandoned outbuildings before fire crews from Peabody and Hillsboro got it under control.
"My neighbor Rodney Suderman called me about it, and when I came over the hill I was really worried," said Neil Hett, Rock Shop owner and resident in the same section where the fire burned.
Hett said he could not see his house initially because of all the smoke and he was worried about his wife at home.
"She didn't even know anything was going on until I called and she went out and looked," he said. "All that smoke probably came from the green volunteer wheat that was burning underneath."
Luckily for the Hetts, several Peabody and Hillsboro fire department crews responded to the call, which came in at 2:01 p.m.
"It was going pretty good at first," Peabody Assistant Fire Chief David Rempel said. "Once we got some vehicles out there, we were able to knock it down."
Rempel said the fire started on the south side of a field just north of 110th, near Nighthawk.
"It went pretty fast with the wind gusts," he said.
Rempel and Hett said a combine with bearing issues was the cause of the fire.
"I talked to the kid running the combine and he said the header stopped working," Hett said. "He got out and looked and noticed it was on fire. He got back in, drove it to the road, and got the header off the combine, but the wind whipped up those sparks and the field was soon engulfed."
Peabody firefighter Tim Peterson said six fire trucks took part in putting out the fire.
"Peabody and Hillsboro each sent a tanker and two grass trucks," he said. "It was a rather large fire and the wind gusts made it go quicker than we anticipated at times, but the departments worked well together putting it out."
Early on it appeared the buildings 20 yards from the north edge of the fire might be threatened, but Peterson said a hedge row in between may have helped prevent the fire line from spreading.
Once crews put out the initial fire, they drove the grass trucks over the field spraying water on hot spots.
"The problem was the old wheat stubble underneath there kept reigniting," Hett said. "But I am glad they stuck with it to get it all put out."
He estimated fire crews were in the area for an hour to put out the large field fire.
