Turkey is a treasure trove of traditions, spices, street food delights and destinations for any intrepid tourist. It's a mix between the familiar and the exotic, ranging from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene and relaxed Roman ruins spread around Turkey's Western and Southern coast. Turkey is a fairly large country with 75 million inhabitants. The country spreads between Europe and Asia, with 97% of the country on the Asian side – Asian Turkey. Turkey is encircled and enjoys access to three different seas: The Black Sea, The Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean. Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the largest city in Europe, regarding population – It has over 14 million people.
Turkey's medical infrastructure has improved greatly beginning with the early 2000s and now is one of the biggest medical tourism hubs in Europe and Asia. Turkey has the largest number of JCI-accredited hospitals, second only to the USA and hospitals are more often than not part of international healthcare groups, following strict European protocols and regulations. Turkey has 28.000 medical institutions spread across the European and Asian side but some of the biggest private hospitals and medical centres are in Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and Bodrum – these also happen to be some of the best tourist destinations in Turkey.
Bodrum is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey, with its sandy beaches and small streets littered with traditional shops and elegant restaurants. The town used to be called Halicarnassus, and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is one of the World's Seven Ancient Wonders. Bodrum also features a castle built by the crusaders in the 15th century.
Istanbul is the home of several architectural treasures, including the Blue Mosque. The Blue Mosque was built on the orders of Sultan Ahmed between 1609 and 1616 and the Sultan's body still resides within the mosque. The high ceiling is lined with more than 20000 handmade ceramic tiles, hence the name – The Blue Mosque.
Pamukkale, meaning "The Cotton Castle" in Turkish is a surreal destination in the country's western region of Denizli, world renowned for its white terraces with warm spring water. The ancient Greek city of Hierapolis was built over the springs and Pamukkale was a renowned destination in antiquity as well. Tourists can visit the ancient Roman and Greek ruins of the baths, temples and theatres dating to the second century BC.
● If you don't feel like waiting in a queue, you can get a VISA for Turkey online. The VISA usually costs around $20 for US travellers.
● Turkey's population is predominantly Islamic so it's a good idea to wear a headscarf while visiting mosques. Shorts or any other garments that fit under the knee are not prohibited by law but it's considered good etiquette not to wear shorts for men or short skirts for women.
● You can change any sort of currency into the Turkish Lira – the Turkish currency just about everywhere. Most supermarkets and shops also accept credit cards.
● Roaming fees in Turkey can be somewhat expensive, so it's a good idea to simply buy a new Turkish SIM card and use it while staying in Turkey.
● Turkey's international calling code is +90.
● Electrical installations usually operate on 220 volts, 50 Hz and use European style plugs and European style sockets. Four and Five star hotels usually provide North American - 120 volts, 60 Hz sockets as well.
● Driving in Turkey can be a hassle sometimes, but very pleasurable at other times. Roads are usually in good shape and some roads actually lack traffic, so it can be a relaxing experience. In Turkey, people drive on the right, so that's a detail you will need to keep in mind. In some areas, villagers made cardboard and marker pen signs in order to help lost tourist on their way.
● Renting a car in Turkey is quite simple and cheap. If you have the budget for a full insurance, you should definitely take it – if anything happens, at least you won't have to worry about money.
● The Turkish Airlines Company, THY offers destinations to just about anywhere in the world with a total of 261 destinations. The company was founded in 1933 and features 285 passenger and cargo planes.
● Turkey uses the metric system which is easy enough to understand – 1 Km = 1000 meters, 1 Kg = 1000 grams, and so on. One mile equals 1.60 Km.
● Turkish people are warm and very hospitable - It is customary for people to hug and kiss both cheeks regardless of their gender.
● Turkish street food is very diverse, from the simple bagel-type snack Simit to the familiar pizza-type Lahmacun, there are tons of variants to just about anything.
● Turkish coffee is world renowned, but it's also a bit different than say, its American counterpart - It is usually a strong coffee with a rich aroma, served very hot from a small traditional cup. Be careful not to drink any of the coffee grounds still in the cup.
● Turkish delight, as the name suggests, can be a really sweet delight for tourists. It is made from sugar, starch and just about any fruit or aroma imaginable, including walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, dates, lemon, orange, rosewater and many others. Turkish delight is usually served with coffee and it became popular all around the world, including in the Balkans region and as far as Brazil and North America.
A tooth filling, also known as a dental filling is one of the most common types of dental restoration procedure in the world. The tooth filling aims to restore the function and integrity of an affected tooth while in the same time protecting it from further decay.
There are a few tooth filling types available for patients - dental fillings can be made from porcelain, gold, silver or composite resin and each type of material has several advantages and disadvantages.
● Gold tooth filling advantages:
Gold tooth fillings are very durable and most fillings last up to 15 years or more. Gold doesn't corrode and is a very durable material, able to withstand high levels of pressure, making them well suited for restoration work on the molars for example.
● Disadvantages include:
A gold tooth filling is very expensive compared to other dental restoration materials. Patients may be required to visit the dentist at least 2 or 3 times before the filling is complete. Although it is a great material, some patients dislike the idea of having coloured fillings.
● Amalgam tooth filling advantages:
Amalgam tooth fillings are very durable and can last up to 15 years or more. The amalgam material itself is very strong and can withstand a lot of pressure. Patients prefer amalgam tooth fillings because they are relatively inexpensive and very durable.
● Silver/amalgam tooth filling disadvantages:
A silver tooth filling can create discolouration around the teeth after a couple of years and the material itself can expand or contract when subjected to changes in temperature – this can lead to the a tooth crack or fracture.
● Composite tooth filling advantages:
Composite tooth fillings are a popular choice because the material resembles the tooth's natural colour. This material is often used for visible teeth which don't need to withstand lots of pressure – such as the front teeth.
● Composite tooth filling disadvantages include:
A composite tooth filling cannot be used for particularly large cavities and their durability is shorter as well. They are also pretty expensive in comparison to amalgam fillings and may require multiple visits to the dentist.
● Porcelain tooth filling advantages:
Porcelain fillings are very resistant - these fillings usually last more than 15 years before experiencing any problems.
● Porcelain dental filling disadvantages:
Porcelain fillings can be quite expensive compared to other materials available.
A tooth filling is recommended for patients with a cavity.
Some patients may require root canal treatment before having a dental filling.
Dental X-rays are usually required before placing a dental filling. The x-rays are done in order to ensure that the tooth is not cracked and that the roots are healthy.
The area is first numbed with local anaesthesia before the dentist will begin removing all decayed parts of the tooth. The next step depends on the material used but usually once the filling is placed, minor touches are also done in order to ensure a proper fit and good functionality. The dentist will then polish the tooth, making it less visible.
30 to 60 minutes
1 trip
1 - 2 days
Patients will be required to avoid any food and drink for 4 to 6 hours after the filling has been placed. Increase in tooth sensitivity after a filling has been placed is common – it will pass in a few weeks.
Dental fillings risks and complications can include:
● Allergic reaction to amalgam fillings
● Pain around the fillings for up to several weeks
● Fillings falling out
Tooth filling procedure side effects can include:
● Discomfort
● Increase in sensitivity
● Pain
The average dental filling success rate is close to 98%, with most fillings lasting between 5 and 15 years or more.
Patients need to maintain oral hygiene practices in order to maintain their fillings and their teeth healthy. Regular checkups with the dentist are also indicated in order to ensure that the fillings have not cracked and are not "leaking".

On October 11, Former National Security Adviser under President Obama, former NATO Commander and retired U.S. Marine Corps Commandant James L. Jones spoke on the subject, "National Security in the 21st Century." It was this year's George Herbert Walker Jr. Lecture in International Studies.
"It has been closely dependent on the ability of nations to understand the environment that surrounds them to be successful and even to survive," he said, "and it's critical to understand when that environment is changing," which it has been doing rapidly in the past year.
"I don't buy into the doomsday scenario about the decline of the United States," he continued, "but I do believe we are at a critical intersection of our history with the world we helped create in the latter half of the 20th century. The world is smaller, information travels faster, the gap between the haves and the have-nots is increasing, and we have to worry about things we did not used to worry about," like climate change, water scarcity, and the source and availability of energy.
Jones said that in the last half of the 20th century, "We faced symmetrical challenges in a bipolar world that had, compared to today, a sense of order that no longer exists." He described the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s without a shot being fired and some of the predictions of the time: "global peace; turning swords into plowshares; some voiced concern about the impact of an unrivaled United States. In short, the long-term prospect for global peace and tranquility seemed possible, certainly within reach." He said many countries began following the U.S. model, "but today we face unprecedented challenges from these newly reformed nations, who have established very close links between their public and private sectors," and made themselves competitive in the 21st century.
He called this development "a major change to the world as we know it, and it seems to me that we must deal with that challenge more effectively than we are doing today," with the same laws and policies in place from the last century, "that overly restrict the abilities of our business sector and our corporations to compete in the global market." He called export control reform a national security issue.
Jones said what has replaced the bipolar world is "a long-term conflict that is best described as a war of ideologies in which, throughout much of the underdeveloped world, we are portrayed as the principal reason for oppression, either by our physical presence on the planet, or by our support to forms of government that are considered oppressive by the people."
He said these changes have had a profound impact, prompting some changes that have contributed to U.S. security. "By combining the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council, we recognize there is no border where international and national threats are concerned. He said the National Security Council has been expanded to address commerce, trade, cyber-security and the war on terror. On the negative side, he said the lack of an energy policy is a critical gap in America's national security portfolio.
He said a purely military response – what was most often applied in situations in the past – is no longer appropriate, and 21st century reaction must consider economic issues, security and governance. "These are remedies that will most likely be applied by international coalition."
Jones said the 21st century world will be different. "We can't ignore it; we cannot withdraw from it, and we cannot fail unless we're willing to accept a lesser role for this nation. I am convinced that Americans still expect that at the end of the day the United States will lead the world in most arenas."

When you think about sport, in general, you imagine athletes running around on a field, it could be a basketball or tennis court, maybe a football field. For some people, the idea of sport involves lots of effort. However, it is important to mention that effort comes in plenty of forms. For this reason, activities such as dancing or horse racing are considered real, challenging sports. Jockeys perform great effort, their work involves a lot of patience and only after gaining sufficient experience, in a relatively short period of time, can they say that success has been achieved. On a dedicated horse racing forum you should find all sorts of information regarding this activity, especially since this sport has a long history behind it. Here are a few details concerning this topic, details that might help you see horse racing for what it is, an elegant sport with history.
Horse racing might be a British custom, but truth be told, the roots of this sport are found in Central Asia, in nomadic tribes. Considering that these roots go as back as 4500 BC, it can be said that horse racing is among the oldest sports in the world, if not the oldest.
It may very well be that horse racing would not be what it is today if it wasn't for the British people and their love for beautiful horses. Rest assured that all horses that race each other to the finish line are not only fast, but they are beautiful and extremely elegant. During the 12th century, returning from Crusades, knights would often race their horse as a demonstration of their strength. Charles the II also had a great love for horses and enjoyed seeing these marvelous creatures race to the finish line. He would often host events of this kind on his private properties.
Queen Anne, like many other British sovereigns shared a great love for horses, but in her time a change appeared in these races. Now, horses would not race for the beauty of the game, but also from the profit it could bring. Indeed during this time, the first bets on horse racings were placed and people started to understand just how easy money could be ether lost or gained. The rest is history.
There are all sorts of legends concerning this sport. What is sure is that this sport has strong and deep roots in the entire world, demonstrating the passion and enthusiasm it can give birth to.

This is a follow-up review on one of the most promising cloud companies I've encountered, DigitalOcean. I started with a droplet from them a year ago and published my experience with DigitalOcean here.
Now, I'm still with them and I couldn't be more happier. When I started out, things were a lot simpler then, there were no backups, just snapshots. The dashboard looked minimalistic because of the few options it has but that's what drew me to them.
There wasn't a lot of fuzz when I started with them (they still keep their sign-ups simple) and the Droplet (VPS) I got from them just plain worked.
What has Changed
Bandwidth is now metered. My accounts were the lucky ones where bandwidth was not metered, its grandfathered so it will stay that way hopefully for the rest of the life of my account. Note, additional bandwidth transfer costs only 2 cents per GB.
Backups are now automated but no longer free. At one point it was free, now it costs 20% of the Droplet. Which means you'll be spending $2 for automated backups for a $10 Droplet. Not a bad deal at all if you ask me.
Private networks. A lot of customers asked for this and it eventually rolled-out, which is a good thing because that means they do listen to their customers' needs. This is good news specially for those who have multiple Droplets in a single data center as traffic between Droplets aren't counted.
Kernel Change. DigitalOcean has made it simple to change kernels and revert to the original kernel should the new one cause unstability on your Droplet.
Graphs! While not really critical this is one of the nice to have things that will show you in general how much your Droplet is working. While not overly detailed it will show you bandwidth usage, disk activity and cpu usage from real time to the last 365 days.
Two factor authentication. Didn't have this when I started out, now its an additional option to make your DigitalOcean account more secure.
Referral program. I'm one of the customers who asked for this earlier and I'm happy to know that they eventually created one. You get $10 in credit or commissions for each customer you refer that totals $10 in billings.
Why I'm Staying with DigitalOcean
Uptime! This is very important to me, for the last 12 months I've been with them, the only reasons why some of my sites went down because I was tinkering with them. Other than that, they've been faithful with their 99.99% SLA. They are prompt to announce possible down-times and they honor their credit system should any down time occur.
Droplet performance. I don't do anything out of the ordinary as far as usage is concerned but for my needs the VPS instance just plain rocks. Since I'm using nginx now, I'm squeezing a lot of performance from my Droplet.
Responsive support. One of the best reasons I'm staying with DigitalOcean, they provide support at a personal level. The longest delay for their support to reply to my ticket was 4 hours, compare that to a day for a hosting company where we have a dedicated server with them.
They listen. I'm just one of the many customers that use DigitalOcean's service but on my end, I've filed and reported three bugs/improvements on their system that they eventually fixed. One of them is my recommendation on how they should handle their snapshots. They listen to their customers and they do something about it which I believe is very important in this cut-throat cloud hosting industry.
I've migrated all my sites to DigitalOcean since the end of 2012 and so far I have no regrets with the choice I made. The only downside I think is that this isn't for individuals who are used to cPanel and WHM but if you do know your Linux I highly recommend DigitalOcean, this page itself is served from one of DO's Droplets.
From how things are going on my end, I think I'll be with DigitalOcean for a long time.

Said Musa, an Afghan man who was arrested in May and threatened with execution for becoming a follower of Jesus.
He was released from prison (Praise our Lord Jesus) i found this letter on the internet what happend
Excerpt from a Letter from Prison
"I want to tell you. A person whose accused of murder, he's sleeping in front of me in the corridor of jail. He's a hundred percent extremist and has discrimination with my religion. He's a Talib person. One night he wants to suicide himself… I prayed for him more and more. I told him please be patient… Please believe in Jesus Christ, he's the only person to forgive you and save you and release you from this jail… The first time he began screaming and insulting me. He told me you're not clean, you're not a Muslim. But I told him, oh my friend and brother. Please think about my word… Then I prayed for him since the middle night. He woke up from sleep and sit on his place. All the prisoners were in sleep. He came near my bed and sat and told me. Please forgive me brother. You're really true person. I have seen wonderful dreams. A very light person spoke with me. He was an amazing person. I fell down on my knee and to the ground. He told me, please believe in your friend Said Musa. I am Lord Jesus Christ. I forgive you now. I can't speak on that moment and shaking my body from fear and afraid and then I woke up. He told me, now I have believe in Jesus Christ."
Full letter:
Please pray and sign petition for our other brother Shoib Assadullah he still is in afganistan prison, and might be put to death.
This is how we battle on our knees, side by side with our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord.

- What should your mani look like? You decide. The country is your inspiration. How you represent it - it's up to you. It can be as simple as the polish name (e.g. OPI "Russian Navy" to Represent Russia), the country's flag mani, using a country's colors or even make a complicated artwork to represent a country. Your choice!
- The list of countries is set once the challenge takes off.
- Every country will have an inLinkz code so that everyone who participate can have a thumbnail link to their blog post, in every participant's post. If you play along - please email Me or Gosia so we can give you the code to put in your blog post.
Please note: if you add your link to the display but you don't put the code in your blog post to show all other participants, your link will be deleted without warning.

Have you noticed that game trailers often look as good as or better than the trailers for many movies? They have the great same feel as movie trailers and, they tell a story the same way. Gaming is big business and nowadays, only the best high resolution and partial live action graphics will do. It is all about enticing people to play in the same way it is to get them to spend money on a movie ticket.
When you deal with high-end media, you need the right support with the best techniques and tools available to create something that motivates people to take action. The graphics and action need to reach out and be so realistic that whoever is watching the game trailer feels as if they are already in the game itself. The producers of game trailers do this by showcasing the best aspects of the game in the most visually appealing way possible.
To do this, Mocap plus 3D scanning of the characters for replication is the best option. If you are really serious, it is the only option. This method is the most time and money efficient process to choose. An exact replica can be created in as little as day rather than taking up to a month to model a character from scratch. The other major advantage is that character movements will be smooth and flowing – even as or more natural in appearance than many of the more time and labor intensive processes.
In regard to building an environment as opposed to a person, 3D scanning allows for the greatest pipeline efficiency possible. The newly created 3D scanned environment can be re-used, as can portions of the trailer in cut scenes which provides a consistent model and helps amortize production costs.
Few companies excel at creating game trailers that can be compared to big budget movie trailers. Between demands on time and money, it takes a company that has an intimate working knowledge of exactly what is and isn't needed to create a compelling game trailer. When you do have a company that understands how to maximize the use of their tools efficiently, the evidence of such can be seen in the finished product.

Ottawa Gee-Gees women's hockey player Fannie Desforges is a champ.
And she didn't pick an easy sport to do it in, winning the women's division at the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship in Quebec City on the weekend.
Desforges skated to victory almost untouched in Saturday night's final in front of over 100,000 spectators.
"Coming down the last jump, I thought she was right behind me," said the high-energy Desforges, describing her thoughts as she crossed the finish line. "I didn't know I was that far ahead. I was just focussed on staying on my feet."
Desforges was at the event last year and finished fifth overall. She says that experience was crucial to topping the podium this time around, especially since mild weather caused some practice sessions to be cancelled.
"Last year I noticed that I needed to skate more, that you actually have to push and not just cruise down the track. And then the course this year was quicker, there was less technique and you needed more speed."
The Fournier native has earned the nickname Fearless Fannie, but she admits she was "a little nervous," going into the final race, knowing who she was stacking up against. She beat out last year's winner, Kyhala Salla of Finland, and fellow Canuck and experienced racer, Marquise Brisebois.
Now Desforges is the one to beat, and she plans to continue to race. Currently, the Quebec City event is the only event on the four-city schedule which has a women's competition. If that were to change, Desforges is eager to compete at the international events as well.

In my previous posts, I discussed some interesting possibilities in the Vienna defense occuring after 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 Bf5.
Black declines the gambit by developing a piece.
I showed that the "More than Hara Kiri" gambit occuring after 5.g5 Bg6 6.h4 should not pose any problem for the defender as 6...h6 is a simple and effective defense.
I also proved that white does not get full compensation in the alternative line 5.fxe4 Nxe4 6.Qf3 as 6...Nxc3 7.bxc3 e6 as both 8.Qxb7 and 8.Bd3 are insufficient.
So what should the attacker play in the Vienna ? Let's have a look at 5.g5 Bg6 6.g5. Black best option now is 6...Nd5 7.Nxe4, reaching the basic "Hara Kiri" position.
Let's explore black's most natural move 7...Nc6, threatening 8...e5 ( the alternative 7...e6 is answered by 8.h4 )
Untill recently, 8.c4 Ndb4 9.a3 was dismissed because of the simple 9...Qxd4
But, it seems to me that white can take the black knight after all, eg 10.axb4 Bxe4 11.fxe4 Qxe4+ 12.Kf2 Qxh1 13.Nf1
a/ 13...h6 14.g6
...a1/ 14...fxg6 15.Qa4 (+-)
...a2/ 14...f6 15.Qa4 (++)
...a3/ 14...f5 15.Qd5 (++)
...a4/ 14...e6 15.Qa4 (+=)
...a5/ 14...Rd8 15.Qa4 (=)
b/ 13...e6 14.Qa4 (+-)
c/ 13...e5 14.Qa4
...c1/ 14...Bxb4 15.Bg2 Be1+ 16.Nxe1 Qxh2 17.Nf3 Qh5 18.Nxe5
......c1a/ 18...00 19.Nxc6 bxc6 20.Bxc6 (=)
......c1b/ 18...Qh4+ 19.Kf3 (+=)
...c2/ 14...e4 15.Bg2 Qxg2+ 16.Kxg2 exf3+ 17.Kxf3 Bxb4 18.Be3 (=)
...c3/ 14...Rd8 15.Be3 (=)
d/ 13...Rd8 14.Qa4
...d1/ 14...e5 transposing to (c3)
...d2/ 14...e6 (+-)
So I guess the suggested line Vienna defense line 7...Nc6 8.c4 Ndb4 9.a3 Qxd4 10.axb4 provides white with an interesting attack, in which black must choose very precise defensive moves in order to survive.
Other authors ( including Scheerer ) had given black a large advantage after 7...Nc6 8.c4, but this analysis proves the opposite and restores the Hara Kiri line as the main Vienna defense line.Consider that thought as my best christmas present ever !

I dont know what chessengine you are using, but Houdine surely sees this as a draw. The suggested 21.Be3 f6 can be met by 22.g6 ! and white has time to consolidate.Delete
Maybe 20.Bxc6 is not so good, 20.c5, bringing the queen onto the kingside, might be better

g6 does not consolidate : 22....Qxg6 and -+ all down the line. After a one night-run my silicon friend, using Firebird,gives :ReplyDelete
- 23.c5 Qf5 (-0.81)
- 23.Bf3 Rfe8 (-0.74)
- 23.Qxa7 Qc2+ (-0.83)
- 23.Bd5+ Kh8 (-0.95)
I use both Houdini and firebird in correspondance chess and prefer firebird because it's faster.

The Gospel lectionary reading for today is from Matthew 7:1-5 where Jesus says...
Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.Swiss psychologist Paul Tournier once wrote,
Without being fully aware of it we mentally twist this commandment, as if Jesus had said: "Judge not unjustly." He said: "Judge not." He did not deny that there is a mote in my neighbour's eye, but he asks that I should first concern myself only with the beam in my own. This abdication of all spirit of judgment is extremely difficult for us, and seems like surrendering before evil.What did Jesus mean when he said, "Don't judge."? Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian novelist, believed that Jesus was saying we should not have any courts of law. But Jesus makes no mention of courts of law. He is addressing his disciples. He is addressing individuals, not societal systems.
On the other hand, Jesus' commandment not to judge is certainly not a command to do away with all personal discernment. After all, when Jesus says, "Do not give dogs what is sacred," he is asking us to show discernment isn't he?
I think the answer to what Jesus meant when he said, "Don't judge," is revealed in the meaning of the Greek word that is used here. What Jesus is talking about is condemnation, damnation. He is saying that we should not have a condemning attitude, a damning attitude toward anyone. However, as Paul Tournier says, getting rid of the spirit of judgment, getting rid of the spirit of condemnation, is very difficult.
A school teacher named Dodie Gradient decided to travel across the United States and see all the sites she had been teaching about for years. Traveling alone in a truck towing a camper, Dodie launched out across the country. One afternoon, while rounding a curve on Interstate 5 near Sacramento, California, in rush hour traffic, a water pump went out on Dodie's truck. He vehicle stalled, and she got out to examine the problem. She was tired, exasperated, scared and alone. In spite of the traffic jam her stalled truck was causing, no one showed any interest in stopping to help.
Leaning up against the trailer Dodie prayed, "Please God, send me an angel...preferably one with mechanical experience." Within four minutes a large Harley-Davidson motorcycle pulled up. It was ridden by a huge man with long black hair, a beard and tattooed arms. With a certain air of confidence, and without so much as glancing at Dodie, the man got off his Harley and went to work on her truck. Within another few minutes the biker flagged down a trucker, attached a tow chain to the frame of Dodie's disabled Chevy, and the trucker whisked Dodie's entire rig off the interstate on to a side street. There the biker continued to calmly work on the water pump.
Jodie was utterly intimidated. She was too afraid even to talk, especially when she saw the words on the back of the biker's jacket: Hell's Angels--California!
As the biker finished his task, Dodie finally drew together enough courage to say "thank you" and carry on a brief conversation. The biker, of course, noticed Dodie's consternation at his own appearance and, looking her straight in the eye, he said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. you may not know who you're talking to."
With that, the biker closed the hood of Dodie's truck and straddled his Harley. With a simple wave of the hand he was gone as quickly as he had appeared.
We all have a hard time NOT judging a book by its cover, don't we?
That's why I think we all need to pray and ask for Jesus' help with this....

Some random (hopefully helpful) thoughts: - the Python compiler package is a bit of a dead end (we dropped it for Py3k because converting/maintaining two full compilers would have been a lot of work and seemed somewhat redundant now that the AST can be manipulated from Python code) - 3.0's syntax is cleaner than that of 2.x (since some of the old backward compatibility issues are gone), but 2.x is in more widespread use (unsurprisingly, since 3.0 isn't even expected to be released until next month) - there is a branch in SVN where Thomas Lee (IIRC) is working on moving some of the current optimisations from the bytecode generation phase back to the AST generation phase.

(For the patient and parent specific JTS Implant website please click here.)
At its core, the JTS implant is lengthened by a small yet powerful gearbox, which drives the extension. Remarkably, the gearbox is able to output ample force to lengthen the limb via a speed reduction ratio of 13061:1. With the implant in place, the limb is periodically lengthened by placing the limb into the external drive unit.
By passing electric current into an electric coil, the drive unit produces a rotating magnetic field at 3000rpm. This rotation is captured by the magnet within the implant and is passed through the gearbox to extend the implant. The implant will grow at 1mm every 4 minutes, thereby slowly stretching the soft tissues.

I am through mincing words. I do not suffer fools gladly and if this commentary doesn't get you away from the shallow end of the gene pool then you deserve what you get.
Some will call it fear-mongering. Wrong answer Dopey! If it is an unpredictable event that happens somewhere everyday (not just mass murder, but rapes, robberies and assaults) then it is not fear-mongering to tell someone they are WOEFULLY UNPREPARED for REALITY if/when brutality comes to call.
Will it ever happen to you? The odds are that it won't. I hope it never does. But how in the hell can you bet the lives of your spouse and kids that it won't? You are a lowlife scumbag fool undeserving of any kind of loving family if you are willing to make that bet.
I am not pulling any punches and if most of them land below the belt .... well that is where I was aiming. I am about to say what has needed to be said for a very long time, and it will be too unpleasant and graphic for some to read and it will be stated in the most unflattering of ways. For too long to many of us have been tip toeing around the issue with politically correct rhetoric that just doesn't impart the seriousness of being prepared to act when violence strikes.
Real Life Sucks sometimes
This is not a review for the latest video game, this is what real violence is. This is a public literary lynching of all the namby pambies (including the Westroads Mall Management and the UNICAMERAL) I hold accountable for the murders at Virginia Tech, SuccessTech Academy and the Westroads Mall this year.
Warning: If you are offended by what you read don't blame me it is your own conscience or lack of responsibility twisting your gut into knots. Sometimes it takes a literary baseball bat between the eyes is to get an Jackasses attention.
And yes I am pissed. Pissed off because, although some deaths may not have been prevented there is absolutely no doubt zip, zilch, nada, none in my mind that the irrational fear of an inanimate object prevented someone from ending it before the body count got high enough for the Murderer/s to cap his own ass.
Metrosexual?? - Less avoidance of femininity and the "emergence of a segment of men who have embraced customs and attitudes once deemed the province of women." Metrosexuals only made their appearance after cultural changes in the environment and changes in views on masculinity.
It used to be called Emasculation ...the word has also come to mean "to socially render a male less of a man," .... (Wiki)
To put it bluntly it means your "umbilical cord hasn't been cut yet", "still tied to Mommy's apron strings" or "surrendering your manhood to someones purse".
The Politically Correct term is Girlyman and from recent comments on various blogs and message boards I gather that Metrosexuality is much more prevalent than I imagined.
The red words are comments made by individuals to one or more websites. My responses are in black. If by chance you read this and I have selected something you wrote, the answer is YES I am TALKING TO AND ABOUT YOU.
Batter up!!! Here Batter, Batter, Batter!!!!!!! Swing Batter, Batter, Batter!!
Everything about this situation is sad, but what bugs me the most is the mindset of more guns could of made this bad situation better.
What's really sad is that there was at least one knowledgeable firearms person at Westroads Mall, and several at Virginia Tech that could have stopped it practically before it started but were not in possession of a sidearm. What part of mass murders did not happen when it was accepted as a natural thing for men/women to carry firearms . This relatively new phenomena began shortly after "Gun Free Zones" started sprouting up like orange barrels in the Springtime. When there were more guns this shit didn't happen. Interesting huh?
In years past when some miscreant yanked out a shooter and began to massacre innocent citizens, good people (men and women) drew guns shot the dirty bastard down like a rabid dog. They didn't try to get in touch with his inner child or query him about an abused childhood or any other psycho babble bullshit about why. They shot his ass down and saved lives.
If more guns wouldn't make this bad situation better, then why in hell should the cops even bother to show up with guns? After it is all over even. Six minutes is the response time the press is reporting .... that is pretty damn fast. I don't think they could have done better. But then the Murdering Bastard was already dead by his own hand before they got there. No it is not their fault, they did everything humanly possible to get there as fast as they could.
Westroads had unarmed security guards on duty ... well whoop ti do da frickin day. What were they suppose to do? They turned tail and ran .. just like everyone else tried to do and I for one don't blame them one gall darned bit. There wasn't anything they could be expected to do against a rifle with a stick, some handcuffs and a can of cooking spice.
So what if someone had a handgun with them that just would have raised the possibility that they would have over reacted missed and or shot the wrong person. Guns of any place have no business in public.
Got a new word for you Skippy; it's called projection. You know, when you lack the confidence in your own abilities you make up for those short comings by projecting them on everyone else. In your mind it makes everyone equal so you can feel better about yourself. Oh it is precisely because so many ego challenged Girlymen like you have an irrational fear of guns and banned them from public places that we have these Mass Murders. Why is that so hard for you to understand? No need to answer that ... I just did.
Oh and by the way, a nationwide study found that only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The "error rate" for the police, however, was 11 percent, over five times as high. In defending themselves with their firearms, armed citizens kill 2,000 to 3,000 criminals each year, three times the number killed by the police.
Does that resonate somewhere in your feeble excuse for a brain? Private citizens are forced to kill 3 times more murdering bastards every year than cops and they are 5 times less likely to shoot the wrong person.
Wake up Van Winkle your dreaming.
Why would I want more guns being used when someone is already shooting at me with one?
To save your life Bonehead; unless you and yours can run 2,500 feet per second. So what do you plan on doing if someone starts shooting at you with one? Out run your family? Use your body to protect them so they can watch you coughing up blood as your eyes glaze over choking on your last breath? Superman you ain't so pay attention here; The Westroads Mall Murderer was using a rifle, the bullets would pass completely through your macho ass and take out which ever spouse or kid you are cowering over too. Two dead bodies for the price of one bullet huh?
There's an image every kid should take to bed with them at night; the last time they saw their Father his chicken shit body was ripped with bullets and his blood flowing out all over the floor. Got your life insurance paid up Sparky?
Worse than that what about the image you may go to sleep with every night for the rest of your life; Your running with one or more of your kids and/or spouse a few steps ahead of you when suddenly a cloud of red mist explodes directly in front of one of them. As they tumble to the ground/floor a pool of warm life force blossoms out around the now still form. In that one fraction of an instant your whole world shatters as you hear the faint rasp "Daddy help me, I hurt". POWERLESS to do ANYTHING you know what just happened and it feels like you have just been run over by a cement truck. Quick .... Do you stop and kneel at the fallen hoping the next round doesn't take out another kid or you? Do you scoop them up on a dead run?
Fear mongering????? As I write this a grieving father lays in a Colorado hospital after losing his two teenage daughters from the SAME shooting in which he was twice wounded Sunday.
I'll tell you what you will want because I have heard it over and over from people that have been lucky enough to live through violence. You will want a gun. You will cry for a gun. You will pray for a gun. You would offer up your soul for a gun to save your wife/husband and kids.
You'll be running like a scared little sheep trying to herd your family out of danger all the while praying "Oh how I wished I had a gun, oh please let us be spared, oh I feel so helpless, how I wish I could do something to save my wife/husband and kids, please someone with a gun stop this madness."
But then it wouldn't do you any good would it? Because of your irrational fear of an inanimate object you wouldn't have practiced the skills to function with it and you'd probably end up dead anyway. That is what his is really all about isn't it. You lack the gumption to do what is necessary to protect yourself and your family so you harbor an unhealthy jealousy for those that do.
All it is going to do is raise the risk that I or my loved ones will get shot if there are twice as many bullets flying around the mall.
Raise the risk?? Statistically about the only way you or your loved ones will get shot by a Private Citizen protecting him/herself is if your running at the Mass Murder in question. If that is the case your too stupid to even have kids let alone a gun.
The chances that they will react fast enough to shoot the guy are slim and none.
Bullshit now your just making stuff up. Cite your sources Einstein! Since you'd likely just stand there with warm piss running down your leg you assume everyone else would do the same. Your projecting again.
Plus I don't care how good a person is at shooting a hand gun on a shooting range trying to shoot a guy when you are in that situation is completely different.
The massacre at the Mall lasted nearly six minutes and you don't think that anyone could react fast enough? By the way how the hell do you know so much about how everyone else is going to act? You don't, you and Skippy need to need to address your dysfunction with projection.
Even if Westroads didn't ban concealed guns, it's a stretch to claim that anyone else with a gun on them would have had time to react, much less take out the shooter, before it was all over.
Hey Spanky you might want to check out this News Video. That incident lasted mere seconds and the good guy won. He is unharmed and his family is alive because he was something your not .... Prepared. The massacre at Westroads lasted MINUTES. Just because you have "no ability to act under stress" issues it doesn't mean the entire human race plagued with your short comings.
Those aren't two moons rising Bambi those are headlights.
If one gun is causing a problem, adding additional guns isn't any kind of solution. Unless you want to add 10 or 20 more people to the body count.
One gun causing a problem???? A gun is an inanimate object, you know just like a hammer, screwdriver or your kids teddy bear, it does not cause problems. When was the last time your kids Teddy Bear got into the cookie jar or hiked his leg and pissed on the corner of the sofa?
Repeat after me, In-an-i-mate Ob-ject
During the time this was being written a woman church volunteer with a concealed carry license in Colorado put a stop to another potential mass shooting. Guess what mathematician; YOUR WRONG. 10 to 20 more??? How about a total of 3 including the Murdering Bastard.
The Leaders of the second Church heard about the first Church shooting and took precautions that INCLUDED guns.
That just shot down all your mindless Metrosexual mantras didn't it???
We are right. It's not a fluke. It works. Hyperventilating yet because you can't handle the truth?
How's that for ripping your dumbass remark to shreds??
A prepared woman has got more NADS than you sissified Girlymen that are making these emasculated remarks. She saved an entire Congregation, you won't even take steps to save your own families. Have you no shame. Are you feeling real ashamed about your metrosexuality yet? You should be. When a Murdering Bastard takes out a gun to do harm, the ONLY viable solution is another gun.
Oh and you know what really sucks? If that had been Nebraska a whole bunch of people would be dead. 10? 20? 30 or more? You know why? Because in its infinite wisdom and encouraged by Girlymen like you the UNICAMERAL made it illegal to possess a concealed firearm in places of worship.
Essentially a church in Nebraska may not even be able to secure its self even if the Elders wanted to.
Now ain't that a daisy?
Neither does the scenario that some armed person will shoot the assailant dead before he opens fire on innocent people. It hasn't happened. It's a figment of your imagination.
Your right some armed person likely won't shoot the assailant dead before he opens fire. Even law abiding citizens fully prepared to protect themselves are not telekinetic. How the hell is anyone suppose to know until it happens. Some armed person WILL however, just like she did in Colorado stop the Murdering Bastard BEFORE he can achieve a 10 to 20 or more body count.
And for all you Girlyman Metrosexuals I highly suggest that you read this; Firsthand account of the Von Maur
Yes Girly guys/gals the someone that you all claim doesn't exist was there. The truth is in most instances there is someone there, someone who has been disarmed by "NO GUNS ALLOWED ON THIS PROPERTY" signs. Until now you really didn't know how intellectually inferior you were did you. Now don't you feel really stupid?
Since you have been conditioned to the "Woe is me I am so piss down my leg scared and too gutless to take responsibility for myself syndrome", I doubt very seriously any of this will have an effect on you. You'll go about your daily lives living and working on Sesame Street whining about how all the rest of us are out of step with your utopia induced reality. But from here on there is no excuse because now you know how mentally deficient you really are.
So instead of a scenario where guns are heavily regulated and A LOT less people die in gun related deaths (Europe), you'd favor a scenario that's never happened?
If you are literate enough and had the stomach to read this far then you should be able to Google the on-line versions of Media Publications from Great Britain and Australia. If you aren't to cloistered to broaden your horizons you will find that crime in London has surpassed that of New York City. Crime has risen so many hundred percent in England that Britons are demanding the House of Lords for their gun rights back. The same thing is happening in Mick Dundee's Down under too.
Wakey Wakey you ignorant fools, the British and the Aussies are at the place where you pansy Girlymen want to take us here in this country. Guess what, they don't like it and they want their guns back. Of course some of you just hit the snooze button and stuck your head back in the sand because that just ... well it just doesn't make sense.
I would gladly fight to the death to keep my wife from slightest bit of harm and I am sure that ever man here would do the same we just don't agree that more guns is the answer was the answer in this situation!!!!!
Oh looooook honey, it's a Knight in shini.... no wait my bad, it is a blithering idiot in Izod and penny loafers.
Fight to the death my ass! With What? Your bare hands against gun/s, knife/s or multiple assailants? How Gallant! How udderly metrosexual stupid. I didn't realize you were Bruce Lee incarnate. Gladly fight to the death against armed adversaries and I won't use a gun to do it.
You really don't see how stupid that sounds do you?
I'll take it as a feeble attempt to reclaim your Gonads from the Gucci though, but it won't work.
Training scenario;
Some dark night your coming out of what ever upscale Metrosexual eatery you fancy and you are accosted. A couple of thugs demand your wallet, Beemer keys and the use of your companions vagina. Assume that martial arts stance while exhaling a couple Kung Fu movie "Hu wawwww's" cause that's all you got Girlyman.
I hope you've seen enough episodes of Walker: Texas Ranger to get it right Kato because here's where you gladly get your wish.
A few thrusts of glimmering steel in the pale moonlight and You'll have fought valiantly to the death .... uhhh ... don't forget to laugh while your life giving fluids spurt copiously from your Carotid Artery.
Remember you did say gladly.
As your blood flows from your wounds and you fade from life on this planet your screaming companion will be hauled off in your BMW likely be murdered too. Well when they tire of her anyway. And while your companion is suffering a bit more than the slight harm you swore a death oath to keep her from she will be fondly remembering you for the gallant knight in shining armor you never were.
She is going to be cussing the day she met you wondering why she ever got involved with a gutless Girlyman like you in the first place.
Do the Police a favor before you go out tonight; PLEASE have a laminated card pinned to the inside of a pocket (not in your wallet, that went with the Beemer and your spouse remember) with your name, address and telephone number and that of someone to contact in case of emergency. It will speed up next of kin notification. Believe me the cops will really appreciate it.
The truth Kato, is that in a situation like this a gun is the ONLY answer.
I would gladly lay down my life to save my wife and someday my children but what I will not do is pull a gun and try and fire back on that person in a crowded busy mall where I am more likely to take the life of someone else then the gunman him self!!
Show your family what kind a man their husband/father really is. Keep telling them it's just not right to meet force with equal force, that it will be okay the police will come and save them as the blood from your sucking chest wound/s splatters over them. I am sure your husband/wife sleeps better at night knowing that you will gladly lay down and die for her. How do you suppose he/she will sleep at night if it ever happens?
Speaking of "don't resist you get it hurt" it's advice that works real good doesn't it? NOT! Not one single victim at Westroads Mall had a chance to show they wouldn't resist.
Let me see if I got this right Gumby - "Crowded... busy..... more likely take the life of someone else than ...." You actually think that all those other people are going to just hang out there in close proximity to a murdering bastard with their thumbs up their asses while he/she is blasting away?
You really are insane.
I'll bet you a dinner for four at the Steak House right here and now that within 3 seconds there will be a clear field of fire from just about the entire 360 degrees. Walls and structural posts excepted of course.
Hey Bruce here's a thought; Why don't you go back and read that man's account of his experience at Von Maur again. "What I won't do is pull a gun ...." I hear you talking Kato, but your Kung Fu is weak.
If the balloon ever goes up for you and I hope it never does you will be praying, begging, whining and crying for gun. At that moment an over powering will to survive and protect all that you hold dear will kick in and you would sell your soul for something to fight back with.
I have no problem with people who want to keep guns in their homes to defend themselves that is their right and I will not take that away but you have no right to possibly kill innocent people in you illusions of being a hero.
Well I am glad that you think it is alright for people to defend themselves in their homes. I know it is our Right you egotistical snot-nose wet-behind-the-ears whelp. Oh Lord and Master let me kneel and kiss your ring for not taking it away.
NOT! You are an arrogant pompous ass, suffering delusions of grandeur for even thinking you have that power.
I have never had any illusions of being a hero. I have lived more than half a century without getting all swelled up with myself I don't intend to start now.
Oh and Gumby, "let me make one thing perfectly clear", my Right to defend myself DOES NOT stop at my front door. I was endowed by my creator with the unalienable right to defend myself any where on this planet any time I am in danger of death or bodily harm and there is not one single thing you all by yourself can do about it.
That pisses you off doesn't it? To know there are people like me who are self reliant adults secure in the knowledge that we can take care of ourselves and accept responsibility for our actions. It scares you to know that there citizens that don't need Nanny State cradle to the grave tending by the government. It scares you because you don't know how to function without a womb to the tomb safety net to catch your ass if you fail. The bottom line is you just don't think you have it in you and it scares you shitless that you might fall on your ass fail. So you won't even bother to try.
Too bad the world has so little respect for life. Some days I'd love to go back to the "olde days".
It's not the world that has little respect for life. It is the evil that infests the hearts of a small but dangerous percentage of the population that has no respect for life. "Olde days"? Yea me too. Since there was hardly such thing as a mass murder when a large portion of the population carried a firearm every where, every day. When some loser yanked his/her gun out to commit such an atrocity they were gunned down by the law abiding society BEFORE they could do any harm.
The difference now is that they can kill people much more efficiently thanks to easily accessible guns (I'm not saying that banning guns would prevent this), and we can watch coverage of the event 24/7.
What planet are you from?? Easily accessible?? Listen Mork it is harder to get a firearm in more states today than it was 15-20 years ago. Oh and efficiently has nothing to do with availability?? I guess they don't teach that words have definitions on Ork do they?
I am so saddened that some think they need a gun with them at all times. What a dim and fear filled view of the world one must have to think they need a gun with them always.
Be sad all you want to Girlyman. That is like saying what a dim and fear filled view of flame one must have to think they need fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in their home always.
Listen up; It is not dim and fear filled it is the reality of being prepared knowing that there are dangerous people on this planet and one never knows when one or more will be encountered.
The odds of you being the victim of violence are far greater than your house ever burning down, but your not going to toss out the extinguisher and smoke alarms are you? I didn't think so.
Using tragedy as an opportunity to score political points is bad enough. Resorting to fear-mongering, cheap shots, personal insults, and bizarre references to a spouse's anatomy is too over-the-top. Your comment and this entire thread are closed.
First off I am not trying to score points for any reason. After this I don't give a shit if you pay attention to me or not. I either opened your mind to the truth or I didn't. I tried. Now the ball is in your court. Getting people to realize that they are responsible for their own safety is far more important to me than racking up political points.
Fear-mongering?? No, the things I am writing about happen to someone/s somewhere randomly every single day in this country. If it is reasonable to think it might happen and point it out so that people can be prepared it is not fear-mongering it is one American fulfilling his duty to his/her countrymen. Of course I don't expect any Baaa ... Baaa herd mentality metrosexual Sheeple to understand that.
Cheap Shots? Personal insults and bizarre references to anatomy? Attention getters my good man attention getters. The only way to get a Girlymans attention is to appeal to his/her finer senses by PISSING THEM OFF. By doing something drastic it makes them respond. When they respond they think, and when they think they open their minds to the alternatives. NOW DO YOU GET IT?
When you use the word RAPE ... well we have all heard it so many times we are numbed to it. It is a word used in polite society. I am a man I can not even begin to to image the horror a rape visits on its victims, most men can't. So when I say rape most guys and a lot of women think .... well yea rape .... I mean .. yuh know its just rape.
On the other hand if I say "He dragged her into the ally where he ripped her away clothing and began shoving his aids infested ...her vagina". NOW YOU GET the traumatic picture. Now you start to feel the horror. Now you see the seriousness. Now your pissed. Now your motivated to do something. Now you understand the need to be, in an instant prepared to fight for life at every waking hour and minute of the day especially when you are away from home..
When you use the word got shot .. Well we have heard it so many times in polite society there is just no picture there.
On the other hand if I say "The exit wound was a large gaping hole of ragged flesh with bits of lung tissue extruding ..... NOW YOU GET the traumatic picture. It turns your stomach. Now you start to feel the horror. Now you understand what really happens. Now your pissed. It is something that you don't EVER want to happen to anyone you know. Now you get pissed. Now you get motivated to be prepared to prevent it from ever happening to anyone you love.
Okay now, take a couple of really deep breaths exhaling slowly and pay real close attention.
I know at a very deep personal level what I hope none of you ever have to learn. What it takes to survive a violent encounter. I never want anyone to ever have to go through that and I will resort to cheap shots, personal insults, bizarre references to body parts and anything else I think I need to get you to understand that
As much as you want to sugar coat it with politically correct words at cocktail parties about "how it can never happen to me or my family" or until it happens to you, you will never understand the serious need to be prepared for a violent encounter.
They are random. They happen all across this country at anytime, anywhere everyday. If they were predictable they could be stopped.
For all you Macho testosterone laden "I will fight to the death for my .....but I don't/won't need a gun do do it" metrosexuals; Yea right! How in hell do you think your going to do that? Against an armed assailant (and they mostly all are these days) all you will succeed in doing is getting a knife ripping into your torso cutting into your vital organs and draining your vital fluids. Or a couple of bullets slam into your chest tearing ragged holes through your lungs and heart. And tonight your kids will have one less parent and your spouse will be a Widow/er.
If you stayed with me all the way to the bitter end I hope by now you realize how udderly ignorant you sound. I don't want you to die, I don't want anything to happen to any member of your family.
I hope by now you realize that violence can occur at any place any time and it is not only your responsibility IT IS YOUR DUTY to be prepared for it and protect yourself and your loved ones as ferociously as you can with every tool available to you.

bigger fish to fry
It's not everytime you get so busy that you forget your whole life and what surrounds it just to live off in the freedom that holds you in it's own prison.
I've been so busy with everything ever since I restarted College that I have barely had time to breath just to suck in everything that I have done or about to do that I am starting to taking on-the-job, if you know what I mean.
Studies have been quite hectic because we have tons of work that needs to be finished in so little time, not to mention that I have been trying to depend on myself a little more rather than keep going back to the 'source' that most of the time I am out from morning to College and never come come back until sometime at 11pm at nights all days of the week unless it's a holiday or one of the days that I have my appointment for a hospital health check up.
Sure, it gets boring to be in such a routine mission day-in day-out, but I'd rather have it this way than having to sit away at my monitor or the TV or whatever it is for the rest of the day just doing nothing trying to think of what I can or cannot do for the next 6 or 7 hours until it's time to head for la la land.
I've also been trying to keep my depression thoughts out of the way. It's not easy either because I keep getting them back but I push on, I strive on. And when I put on a smiling face, I always try to make it heartfelt. I've realized that I have become a quitter in the past and I pushed that thought aside to demand what I want - no matter how trivial it may sound or be to the onlookers.
I've come to learn a lot in the past few weeks that I haven't actually blogged onto this site. Too much that I have had to just grasp the moment that it comes with to learn of it what it may bring to me in terms of lessons.
I've learned that Oman doesn't really care anymore about the environment any longer because on the outside they call for eco-tourism yet they on the other hand they are striving to destroy the environment at the same time by giving up more land to oil companies for exploration; establishing peaceful nuclear fuel capabilities along with the GCC council and not to mention redefining the real estate industry of the Sultanate along with its neighbors.
I've also learned that the stupidities that have been announced of allowing competition into Oman is just yet another agenda or front to shut the international community up by setting 'competition' into the field with Nawras when they very well know that the outside competition would cripple them. The thing with Oman is that officials boast a lot about things that need to be done for the country for it's economical benefit, but if you go about the shops, you can still buy pirated software, pirated DVDs, and Playstation or Xbox360 or Wii games. They talk about efficiency in the government sector also, yet you still wait one or two months just to get a printed allocated set of land that you are entitled to - of which you pay for - on a piece of paper.
I'll admit Oman has come a long way in many strives and has indeed jumped leaps from the day that we knew we had oil, but to be honest, things can be done in so many different and better ways in this country but no one is willing to listen.
That's why it seems such a bother to me of why I should ever blog in the first place or even write articles for anyone when no one takes notice.
Blogging is and will always be a phenomenon to me. But to the much conservative Omani society and community in a whole, they are just too damn right narrow minded because they would rather have ask you on a face-to-face basis about your whole tribe whilst standing in public in just under 30 minutes.
I shouldn't even bother to talk about regional or international politics because the game is already played. Seriously. I mean, are you trying to tell me that this wasn't all played out since the day that George Bush took the seat in the White House? Or what about Iran? Or Iraq for that matter? (It's pronounced 'eerak' not 'eye-rak')..
I don't blame anyone anymore for not blogging for several reasons. One of which is because I am in that same position of where I cannot find the right words to be said. And two, because I have a lot more important things to be busying myself with than be bothered about blogging. Three, its not what it used to be to me anymore, unfortunately - for the fun of it.
Believe you and me - there's some bigger pizzas to be baked here (as opposed to 'bigger fish to fry').

Design Notes
Tuscan marble is the inspiration for this collection of satin finished porcelain. The veining and subtle, cloudy tonal variations of natural stone are mimicked perfectly, and you'll have people staring intently at the floor trying to work out if this is genuine marble or not. Its not, but it might as well be. While it won't age with the imitable elegance that makes natural marble such a unceasing joy, it is very durable and fantastic value for money.

WORCESTER, MA-Tiffany Rotatori scored three goals to lead host Worcester State to a 4-0 victory over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's soccer team in a non-conference match at Coughlin Field Tuesday evening.
Rotatori broke a scoreless tie in the 18th minute when she chipped a rebound past UMass sophomore goalkeeper Tanya Braga (Hudson, MA/Hudson HS) into the net. She scored again in the 33rd minute, converting a pass from Katelyn Bonetti to give the Lancers a 2-0 lead at halftime.
Worcester State scored twice in the waning moments of the match. Amanda Beaudet converted a pass from Stephanie Demake to make it 3-0 at the 82:00 mark, then Rotatori scored her third goal of the contest, taking a pass from Bonetti and breaking in alone on goal with 4:46 remaining.
The Lancers out shot the Corsairs, 28-11. Braga made 13 saves, while Rachael Armenti made five for Worcester State in earning the shutout.
UMass Dartmouth dropped to 4-8-4 with the defeat, while WSC improved to 10-5-1 with the victory. The Corsairs will return to action when they host Eastern Connecticut State on Senior Day Saturday.

AUSTIN, Texas — Republican candidate for governor Greg Abbott launched an online video today, summarizing the negative backlash to the ad from his Democratic opponent, Wendy Davis, in which Davis uses the image of an empty wheelchair to attack Abbott.
Breitbart Texas has previously reported on the swift and extremely negative backlash to the ad, which came from all across the political spectrum. Abbott's ad quotes a number of the critics of the ad and ends by calling her campaign a "lost cause" as the text, "Wendy Davis: Unfit to be Governor" appears on the screen. Davis has remained unapologetic about the ad, continuing to promote it on social media, and holding a press conference Monday defending it, which drew new criticism over accusations she was using disabled people as props.
