Prime Minister John Key left one of New Zealand's newest friends - Colombia - this morning to fly to our closest friend in Latin America: Chile. His meeting with Chile's President, Sebastian Pinera, has been delayed a day until Sunday while Mr Pinera attends the funeral of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
It's partly due to prevailing Pacific Ocean winds that Chile has the closest relationship with New Zealand of the four countries Mr Key is visiting on his Latin American trade trip.
The connection was partly built on a joint stance during French nuclear testing at Mururoa Atoll in the 1960s.
Professor Matthew O'Meagher, who set up Auckland University's Centre of Latin America Studies, said Chile and New Zealand did not have much contact, but knew of each other's efforts.
"In the 1960s, when New Zealanders were opposing French nuclear testing, so were Chileans because the wind blew their way. Mururoa is roughly between the two countries. While the two did not necessarily connect a lot, it was a big deal for both," he said.
New Zealand gets more international students and tourists from Chile than any other Latin American country.
Despite the close people-to-people links, trade is still modest although both New Zealand and Chile were in the original P4 countries signing the Trans Pacific Partnership in 2005. The Government hopes trade will lift under the TPP.
The current relationship goes beyond trade and politics. Chile offered help after the Pike River mine disaster, which happened soon after Chile's own 33 trapped miners were rescued after 69 days underground in February 2010. New Zealand returned the favour after Chile was hit by an earthquake in October the same year.
Chile and New Zealand also work together on fisheries issues in the Pacific, and both have interests in the Antarctic.
There is relatively active investment in Chile. Mr Key will visit a farm at Puerto Montt owned by Fonterra, which owns about 99 per cent of Chile's largest dairy processor, Soprole.
Geothermal investments are also increasing in Chile, including by Mighty River Power.
Population: 17.3 million.
NZ's 61st-largest trading partner.
Exports to NZ in 2012: $63 million, mainly fruit and nuts, and wood.
Imports from NZ in 2012: $76.6 million in dairy, machinery, grains and seeds.
GDP: $248 billion.
Economic growth: 5.5 per cent in 2012.
Migration: 4800 people visited NZ from Chile in 2012, 500 of them for a long-term stay; 2500 New Zealanders visited Chile last year.

(THE BLAZE) If it seems like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) have been in the news an awful lot recently, it's because they have been — the New Jersey governor for his harsh criticism of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the National Rifle Association and the Kentucky senator for his vow to "nullify" the president's new gun-control measures.
And if you've been waiting for a news story that involves both GOP heavyweights, well, you're in luck: Sen. Paul on Friday publicly reprimanded Gov. Christie for "not standing up for Second Amendment rights in the ongoing gun control debate," as CNN puts it.
"You have some Republicans backing down like Christie backing down and criticizing the NRA, and I think that doesn't do us any good," Sen. Paul told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham. "So I think Republicans do need to stand more firmly on this issue."

The webinar talks about what is Project Management scheduling and what are the most common schedule management methods.
Project Scheduling is carried out to explore and identify
• The list of tasks to be performed during a project
• Time estimation for each task
• Resource allocation
• Scheduling the tasks
Three important Scheduling methods include
• Critical Path Method (CPM)
• Critical Chain Method
• PULL Scheduling (Agile)
Project Scheduling gives us a fair prospect of how should we organize our workplace, team members work so as to make it more productive and result oriented.

Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day. That's what the web site says, and it's true. Tomboy works like a wiki, except it is self-contained. Start typing and when you type a wiki word, that's a mixed case word LikeThis, Tomboy will highlight it as a link, which you can click on to open a new note with that name. Web and email addresses are also automatically highlighted and turned into links. You can also turn any normal word into a link by highlighting it and pressing the Link button.
Tomboy appears as an icon on your toolbar, so it keeps out of the way yet pops up a list of recent notes, and a search facility, when clicked on. There is a growing collection of plugins to extend the capabilities of Tomboy, from HTML export to printing to daily task notes, including support for importing from other note taking programs.
Tomboy uses Mono, the open source implementation of the .NET framework. Although it was originally developed for Linux, this has meant that the program was soon ported to Windows and MacOS. Tomboy is a simple, quick and unobtrusive program that you will find incredibly useful once you start using it.
For quick notes or more detailed organisation, Tomboy is a good way to get your ideas in order.

Served: Leaving Restaurants for Groceries
Hannah Howard has worked in several restaurants, but she's made the switch to the grocery side of the industry. She's now a cheesemonger for a small market chain, and will share her experience here.
I spent the summer of my 17th year scooping gelato. At the age of official adulthood, I graduated to hostessing in the fanciest of fancy restaurants. Here I am, five years, one degree, and countless glasses of end-of-shift bubbly later, bidding goodbye to restaurantland.
But I wasn't ready to apply to law school, or teach English in Thailand, or send resumes to consulting firms. I thought about packing a bag and heading off to see the world, but I couldn't quite muster the zeal or financial resources that such a mission requires.
So I thought instead about the path behind me, and where it might lead.
There are many parts of my job I truly loved. Going shopping for gooey, stinky cheeses and light, fresh cheeses never got old. And when big boxes of goat gouda and lemony chevre arrived with my name on it, I felt like I was receiving a birthday present. Talking with guests about food was always great—whether listening to a serious cook talk pickles or witnessing a revelation: "I do like beets!"
I loved solving problems and creating systems. How can we make sure every table gets gougeres at the right time? How to handle big happy hour crowds when we are used to a handful of bar customers? Why do we lose water glasses as fast as we buy them?
Even if I still have plenty to learn, building my team of bartenders, servers, runners, and hosts was amazingly fun and totally rewarding. On the first day, Rich was intimidated. What the hell is a crosne? A roulade? Two weeks later, he is eloquently explaining these things to a captivated table. He is selling big ticket wine bottles and asking the kitchen: "No pommes maxim today?" when he doesn't see the translucent potato rounds on the sea bass.
Then there is the thrill of a jamming service. To build a beautiful machine, and then see that machine in exquisite action. The magical, addictive energy of a busy restaurant. Tables cleared and people sat, champagne popped and glasses filled and refilled, ducks roasting and souffles baking, knives and hands whizzing and whirring, laughter and stories and espressos.
False Starts
What else could I do that was still food and people centric?
A bakery, a cafe? I liked the idea of early morning hours, but these things still smelled of restaurants.
I called some of my favorite cheese suppliers. Yes, they told me, I could work behind a cheese counter. But no, I couldn't make much more than $12 an hour. This was my starting pay in my hostessing days, and I quickly got a raise. I want to be able to support myself, so cheesemongering was out.
That led me to think—I could be a host, a cheesemonger, even a waiter—and spend my non-working hours cultivating my writing career. But I know myself well enough to know it would be hard for me. I'd want more shifts to make some more cash, and my writing time would get squished. I need structure, somewhere to go each day, and I'd feel more like a server than a writer. Also, this scenario wasn't too far from what I was already doing. And I was pining for change.
Hello Groceries!
When you're looking for a job, people advise, "Connections! Networking! Reach out to everyone!"
I thought about who I actually wanted to reach out to. I thought back to some people I've spoken with, and I remembered a great interview I had with a cheese guy / author / grocer. It was conversation that left me smiling and inspired and a bit stirred up. I sent him an email. He wrote back.
A week later, "his people" called as I was on a bus to New York.
I loved the grocery store. If you're a New Yorker and you like cheese, or olive oil, or smoked salmon, you probably like this grocery store, too. It has a staunchly loyal, cultish following.
I've always had a grocery fetish myself. Growing up, it frustrated my poor mom—grocery shopping consumed vast gobs of time when I was involved. Wegmans was the worst. Any aisle—produce, cereals, vitamins, yogurts—and I'd get swept away in the vast array of choices. Flax, bran, oats, and every combination thereof! I happily could examine boxes (or fruits, or cheeses, or ice creams) till the cows came home. I entered into a grocery-induced fugue state, and it required an iron will to pull me out.
Markets are still happy places for me. Farmers' markets make the top of the list, along with food shopping destinations like Essex Street Market in New York or Reading Terminal in Philly. Then come great stores like Wegmans and Whole Foods. My boyfriend and I have spent many a long afternoon joyfully navigating the aisles of Wegmans.
After many interviews, phone calls, rescheduled interviews, rescheduled phone calls, and days nervously waiting, I accepted an offer with this great New York grocery store that I love. I'm excited now, thinking about it. Goosebump excited!
My job title? I don't have one yet!
I'm going to learn the business by spending time in all the departments. I've never worked in the grocery biz, and there are a dizzying amount of things to understand: buying, butchering, pricing, catering, staffing, stocking, receiving, and much, much more.
Then—and this is the cool part—they're going to sculpt a job that fits what they need, what I'm good at, and what I love. It's probably going to involve some writing, some marketing, and some cheese. It's all up in the air.
So here I am, packing boxes and feeling happy and sad, excited and terrified, and very much nostalgic. In a few days time, I will resume my identity as a New Yorker. In a few weeks time, I will try on a new identity of grocer. And I'll be writing about it every step of the way.

Bobby Brown Cries Onstage When Hearing About Whitney Houston's Death
While the world mourns the death of Whitney Houston, her passing hit home especially hard for ex husband, Bobby Brown. Just hours after learning of Houston's shocking and untimely passing, Brown broke down in tears onstage, dedicating his entire live performance to his former love and mother to their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Brown performed at the Landers Center in Southaven, Miss. last night, just hours after Houston was found dead in her Beverly Hilton hotel bathtub. Brown sobbed onstage and had to stop more than once to regain his composure. "First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all," he told the crowd (quotes from PEOPLE via AceShowbiz). "Second, I would like to say, I love you Whitney. The hardest thing for me to do is to come on this stage."
Concertgoers stood by Brown, who was often accused of being Houston's gateway to drugs and her downfall. "Bobby asked us to pray for his daughter and to pray for him," concertgoer Don Scott said. "When he cried, I could feel the pain he was suffering, because he could not be with his daughter tonight, the time she needs him the most. I cried just watching Bobby speak."
Scott's wife, Lagina, was similarly moved. "Bobby sang for Whitney, and when he shed some tears the audience cheered him on," she said. "He was so awesome. He performed his heart out, even saying, 'I love you Whitney'."

Northrop Grumman Profit Up 8 PercentBy Reuters - Print
The U.S. No. 3 defense contractor, Northrup Grumman, behind Lockheed Martin and Boeing narrowly beat analysts' average estimate, and said it was on track to hit its full-year profit forecast.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Tuesday quarterly profit rose 8 percent, as higher sales of its military equipment were helped by a one-time gain from the sale of a business.
The U.S. No. 3 defense contractor behind Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Boeing Co (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) narrowly beat analysts' average estimate, and said it was on track to hit its full-year profit forecast.
The company, which makes bombers, warships and a range of military electronics, reported second-quarter net profit of $495 million, or $1.44 per share, compared with $460 million, or $1.31 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Profit included a $58 million gain from the sale of its electro-optical systems business and $16 million of tax benefits after a settlement with U.S. federal tax authorities relating to tax payments for the years 2001 through 2003.
Excluding one-time items and discontinued operations, Northrop's earnings were $1.40 per share, while Wall Street was expecting $1.39, according to Reuters Estimates.
Sales rose 10 percent to $8.6 billion, above analysts' average forecast of $8.3 billion, helped by increases in each of its four main units: aerospace, electronics, shipbuilding, and information and services.
Northrop said it was on track to hit its full-year earnings forecast of $4.90 to $5.15 per share. Wall Street is expecting $5.12, on average.
The company said it continues to carry the $1.5 billion refueling tanker contract award it won from the U.S. Air Force in February in its backlog of work to be performed.
The contract, a prelude to a $35 billion program to replace the United States' mid-air refueling fleet, was protested by losing bidder Boeing, and is now set to be reopened by the Defense Department. Northrop is teamed with European aerospace company EADS (EAD.PA: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) in its bid to retain the contract.

text: Actress and singer whose claim to fame was the tambourine-playing mother, Shirley Partridge, on The Partridge Family, where she starred with her stepson David Cassidy. Shirley Mae Jones was born in Pennsylvania; Paul and Marjorie Jones named their only child after the beloved and famous Shirley Temple. Jones began her singing career at the age of six in the Methodist Church Choir and took voice lessons from Ralph Lewando. She attended the Pittsburgh Playhouse in 1952 and went on to New York in 1953. It was here that she landed her first musical role on Broadway as a nurse in South Pacific. From there she went to Hollywood, where her singing/acting career flourished. In 1952, after graduating from South Huntingdon High School, Shirley Jones won the Miss Pittsburgh Pageant and was the first runner up in the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant, which included a two-year drama scholarship to the Pittsburgh Playhouse. Instead of keeping with her original college plans, Jones decided to move to New York and pursue a career on the Broadway stage. In the summer of 1953, Jones went to an open-call audition for the Rodgers and Hammerstein production of Oklahoma. She was cast for the role of Laurey Williams. After doing Oklahoma and Carousel, Jones began acting in films, frequently taking the sweet, wholesome character roles; however, it was her role as a prostitute in Elmer Gantry that won her an Academy Award in 1961. She went on to play in such films as The Happy Ending and The Secret of My Success. During the '70s, Shirley Jones made her television debut in The Partridge Family, whose real-life hits included "Cherish," "I Think I Love You" and "Come On, Get Happy." After The Partridge Family ended in 1974, she continued her television career. Her credits include roles in the television movie The Lives of Jenny Dolan and the comedy show Shirley Miller, which aired for only a year in 1979. Since then, Shirley Jones has made cameo appearances in a number of popular television shows, including Murder She Wrote, Burke's Law and Something So Right. ~ Kim Summers

Former Senator Schmitt Advocates Continued and Specific Constitutional Challenges to Obamacare's Nationalization of Healthcare
The "Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act of 2010" (Obamacare) and many of its specific sections remain unconstitutional in spite of the recent Supreme Court decision in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius. The Constitution is what it is; no Supreme Court decision can legitimately amend that fundamental document. The Amendment process remains as defined in Article V. Neither Article III (judicial power) nor Marbury v. Madison (Supreme Court determines constitutionality) gives the Court comparable amendment power. Nor does Article III confer the legislative power to the Court it assumes in changing an Act of Congress to read that a "penalty" is a "tax" and not a penalty.
The "Opinion of the Court" on Obamacare declares that the "individual mandate" to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service creates a "tax" rather than an otherwise unconstitutional expansion of the Commerce Clause of Article I, Section 8. Section 8, Clause 1, gives Congress the "Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises". Elsewhere, the Constitution defines two forms of "Taxes" that Congress can levy as follows: "Capitation, or other direct, Tax" if "Proportional to the Census or Enumeration" (Section 9, Clause 4); and "incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration" (Article 16).
The Constitution nowhere enumerates that Congress can impose a tax on an American for not taking some action, in this case, for not buying insurance. The Founders would have recognized that such a tax would give the Federal Government unlimited power to restrict individual liberty. They had seen this abusive use of taxing power before with Parliament's 1766 "Stamp Act" and 1773 "Tea Act"; successfully fought a Revolution against such power; and specifically crafted the Constitution to limit the taxing power of Government. As James Madison put it, "…it is to be remembered that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects."
The Constitution of the United States enumerates no right to health or healthcare. Thus, on its face, Obamacare in its entirety is unconstitutional. Rather, preservation of health clearly lies with the people within the powers not enumerated as those of the Federal Government. The 9th and 10th Amendments, relative to such un-enumerated powers, clearly give the people, or through them, the States control of healthcare. The "unalienable rights" stated in the Declaration of Independence include "life" as well as "liberty and the pursuit of happiness." "Life," however, implies something very different than "health." The right to life coexists with the "liberty" of individual choice of how life shall be lived in "the pursuit of happiness." Further, the 10th Amendment gives the people or States and not Congress control of health policy.
Current Senate leadership, the President, far too may business cronies, and now five Justices of the Supreme Court remain intent on the impossible task of managing the 16 percent of the American economy we call "healthcare." They argue that Congress's power to "provide for the…general Welfare" found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, permits any form of federal legislation. The full Article I phrase, in fact, reads, "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare." Following Clauses limit the specific powers of the Congress in regard to the common defense and general welfare, but none give Congress power to do anything it decides is politically or ideologically expedient. This "general welfare" phrase also must be viewed in the context of the more inclusive phrase "promote the general welfare" in the Preamble to the Constitution. That phrase in the Preamble sets out one of several basic reasons for the establishment of our form of government, and it subordinates the Article I Congressional power to other constitutional provisions. Of particular note in this regard are (1) the lack of any Section 8 enumeration of healthcare among other specifically stated areas for possible Congressional intervention and (2) the combined effect of the 5th and 14th Amendments that make unconstitutional the legislative imposition of reward or penalty on some and not on others, thereby depriving those others of "equal protection of the law."
Some lawyers state that Article VI, Clause 2, the so-called Supremacy Clause, provides that federal law always trumps state law. Basically, this position maintains that the Congress, with the agreement of the President, can override any State law. The Founders would not have agreed [See Essay No. 24] . The relevant portion of the Clause actually reads, "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof…shall be the supreme Law of the Land…" The underlined phrases clearly indicate that only the Constitution and federal law made by virtue of Congress's enumerated powers are supreme; however, those laws enacted by the States under their 10th Amendment powers lie beyond the reach of federal law so long as State laws honor the constitutional rights of the people.
In addition to the unconstitutionality of mandating health reform by selective prohibition and regulation, specific provisions of Obamacare add constitutional insult to injury and should not be part of any legislation. One provision, Sec. 5210 for example, raises a "Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps" ostensibly for the dubious purposes of meeting "both routine public health and emergency response missions". This "Obamacare Army" would be under direct command of the President and independent of the Department of Defense, the National Guard, or local enforcement agencies. Thirty-five million dollars were authorized for training this new army in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, and an additional $52.5 million have been authorized for the next 3 fiscal years. Other provisions, enumerated further below, violate several Amendments to the Constitution, specifically, equal protection (5th and 14th), due process (5th), warrant-less searches for papers (4th), criminal prosecution rights (6th), and the right for patients and physicians to associate (9th). Thus, the "individual mandate" constitutes only the tip of the iceberg toward which American liberty is being steered.
Insurance Mandate: Congress has no specific or general welfare power under Article I, Section 8, to mandate that all Americans use their incomes to purchase anything, much less health insurance. Nor can the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce under Clause 3 provide constitutional justification for federally regulated insurance unless it requires States to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. Even then, regulation must be restrained to regulation of actual interstate "commerce" and not include unconstitutional mandates on the insured. Note that nothing in the "Opinion of the Court" relative to Obamacare limits Congress from trying again to extend the Commerce Clause to cover individual decision-making. The Chief Justice only expressed an opinion on this subject, an opinion not shared by the four liberal Justices who otherwise joined in the Opinion of the Court.
To make matters constitutionally worse, under Obamacare, those who do not wish to purchase insurance would be deprived of equal protection under the 5th and 14th Amendments. Further, the mandate would confiscate private property (money) without just compensation as also required under the 5th Amendment. Nor can a State mandate the purchase of insurance due to the same restrictions of the 5th and 14th Amendments.
Criminalization of Non-Compliance: Criminalization of both an individual's lack of health insurance and the purchase of health insurance above a government imposed limit violates the 6th Amendment without providing for the extensive and far-reaching protections required for "all criminal prosecutions." Now, as a result of the Supreme Court NFIB v. Sebelius decision, the unelected bureaucrats and agents of the IRS will enforce this unconstitutional prosecution of non-compliance.
Prosecutions: Obamacare requires that private contracts between patient and insurer contain specific mandated coverage, violating the 4th Amendment right of the people "to be secure in their…papers…against unreasonable searches and seizures…". Without a constitutionally valid warrant, the government has no constitutional power to access what is in a contract (paper or oral) between an American and his or her insurer.
Tax Increases: Obamacare imposes new sales taxes disguised as excise taxes on a targeted few producers, sellers, individuals, and families to subsidize insurance for others and to cover the vast administrative costs of government healthcare bureaucracies. These taxes will be passed on to some consumers as de facto sales taxes, violating, both directly and indirectly, equal protection under the 5th and 14th Amendments. In addition, under neither Article I nor the 16th Amendment, does there exist constitutional justification for an actual federal sales tax on visits to tanning salons. If allowed to stand, this specific sales tax could be used as a precedent for more such unconstitutional taxes. Further, the law applies a "before sale" sales tax if an individual or a company does not buy health insurance for themselves or their employees, respectively. This category of sales tax effectively constitutes a fine and runs afoul of the "due process" clause of the 5th Amendment, as the Obamacare new law provides no administrative or judicial appeal process.
Moreover, the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Sec. 1411, imposes a 3.8% tax on the net gain from the sale of any disposable private property or on any net investment income beginning in 2013. This tax is in addition to any capital gains tax.
Free Association: Obamacare tramples the rights to privacy and free association protected by the 9th Amendment [See Essay No. 36] by inserting government review and control between a private patient and his or her doctor. The 9th Amendment states, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The "certain rights" referenced by this Amendment, clearly include those specified in the Bill of Rights. Those "others retained by the people" logically would embrace all naturally encompassing, or intensive, human rights of a free people, for example, the "unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," identified by the Declaration of Independence. Other such intensive rights include free association, as well as privacy, education, travel, communication, and thought, in other words, rights that inherently belong to humans as a species. Activities like seeking healthcare clearly would not be included as a "right" as they relate only to voluntary human activity in support of an intensive right to life.
Mandated State Benefit Exchanges: The new law requires States to create and regulate health benefit exchanges to oversee insurers' allocation of benefits to subsidized patients. Absent State action, the federal government would set up and manage an exchange for the State. This coercive mandate on the States violates both the nature of the federal system of government envisioned by the Founders and the specific rights of the States and the people spelled out in the 10th Amendment.
Insurance Companies as Utilities: Directly and indirectly, Obamacare herds insurance companies into a stable of public utilities. In so doing, Congress not only illogically assumes that insurance constitutes a natural monopoly, like a local power company, but fails to provide for a market rate of return to the companies and their shareholders. The law would limit insurers as to what could be included in premiums as administrative costs rather than allowing the inclusion of actual costs. At the same time, the government would establish minimum standards of care over which the "insurance utility" would have no cost control, administrative or otherwise. In addition to the economic lunacy of this charade, the unconstitutionality of the provision lies in the 5th Amendment's right of persons (shareholders) not to have "private property be taken for public use without just compensation."
Limitation on Drug and Device Costs: Obamacare also directly and indirectly mandates limitations on the costs of medical drugs and devices. Without the ability to recover the costs of development, testing, and regulatory approval, drug and device companies will be unable to continue vigorous research and development efforts that potentially benefit everyone. Congress has no enumerated constitutional power to impose restrictions of this nature on selected private entities, either in Article I or under the equal protection mandate of the 5th and 14th Amendments.
Restrictions on Religious Liberty: Regulations issued under Obamacare mandate that employers offer health insurance plans that provide coverage of services related to contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. "Employers" would, of course, include church-based entities for which such mandatory plans would be in direct contradiction of religious beliefs, teachings and conscience. As should all other unconstitutional provisions of Obamacare, these regulations are being challenged in Federal Court, in this instance by Catholic dioceses and related organizations throughout the United States, as a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. That Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…" All organized religion should be concerned about this direct violation of the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution remains America's primary defense against the usurpation of liberty in the name of "national healthcare reform." Remember, Germany's descent into national socialism began with the imposition of national healthcare under Bismarck in the 1880s [See Essay No. 16] . The States must accelerate their 10th Amendment defenses against the imposition of federal regulatory mandates in areas of governance not enumerated in Article I or elsewhere in the Constitution. At the same time, individuals, businesses, and associations must challenge the constitutionality of federal jurisdiction over healthcare as well as question specific provisions of Obamacare.
On the other hand, the empirical bounds of the Constitution include everything necessary for Americans to have superior healthcare choices and delivery. To accomplish this goal, Americans only need to have broadly applicable income tax deductions for health insurance, and insurance providers need to be able to compete across state lines. Lower cost, competition-driven insurance coverage then could be purchased and tailored to individual needs, including income levels, pre-existing conditions, home health care, hospice care, and so on. Congress could further lower healthcare and insurance costs by requiring that the Courts limit tort awards in alleged malpractice cases to actual, provable damages. Additionally, Congress should require that the loser in liability suits pay court costs and that attorneys bringing frivolous or fraudulent suits be fined substantially and/or disbarred.
Specific legislative provisions now enacted in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and its companion Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act should be contested in court, one by one. We must assume that the Federal Court System's commitment to judicial re-writing of the Constitution has not gone so far that these challenges will prove futile. The alternative is a loss of the rule of law upon which a representative democracy ultimately depends.
Americans must stay forever on guard in the protection of both their liberty and specific Constitutional limitations on governmental power. The election of 2012, with a change of Presidents and large conservative majorities in the Congress, would permit full repeal of this massive intrusion into American liberties along with the removal of the blade of massive tax increases that hangs over the head of private growth and job creation.

2013: The year in sports
As with any year 2013 had some great moments in sports. Let's take a look at the year by sport.
Girls Basketball
Estherville Lincoln Central's six seniors led the Midgets to their third straight girls' state basketball appearance and second runner-up finish in three years.
The team featured two players who finished their careers with over 1,000 points in Allie Sievert and Emily Kirchner. They, along with Sara Heywood, Macy Dahl, Casey Sievert and Maggie McCauley, made a dramatic playoff run.
The Midgets opened state play against Lakes Conference rival Spirit Lake and defeated the Indians for the third time.
In the semifinals, the Midgets shot 22-of-24 from the free-throw line in earning a three-point victory, 49-46, and avenging an early season loss to second-ranked MOC-Floyd Valley.
Five of the seniors had played varsity since their freshman season as they finished their careers with an 87-18 record.
Meanwhile, the school's career top scorer in KJ Veldman led rival Spirit Lake as they made their first state appearance since 2007.
The area talent showed up at the 2013 State Wrestling Tournament.
Spirit Lake Park senior Doug Miner earned his third state title with a 1-0 win over Shadow Leshen of Albia at 120 pounds. Miner finished his career with 162 career wins. Junior teammate Zach Skopec also had an impressive season as he finished up third at 138 pounds.
Meanwhile ELC's Oscar Ramirez finished with a fourth-place finish at 132 pounds and finished his junior year with a 38-3 record. Ramirez is off to a fine start in the current 2013-14 season. He is ranked second at 138 pounds in Class 2A and earned his 100th career victory in the opening tournament of the season.
Also from the area, Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire heavyweight Cody Thompson earned a sixth-place medal at state.
College Basketball
The 2012-13 Iowa Lakes men's basketball won the Region XI regular season title for the first time in school history. With the top seed in the region tournament, the Lakers followed up by punching their ticket to Nationals with a three-game home stand. The Lakers' run was highlighted by an 88-86 overtime victory against Iowa Central in the region semifinal. The Lakers trailed 72-65 with 33 seconds remaining, but Ben Shellim scored five points in the final 12 seconds to tie the contest. Iowa Central's final shot missed in regulation. Shellim then scored five points in overtime to give the Lakers the lead. Iowa Central again had the last shot, but missed.
"These guys showed good character and kept battling," said Iowa Lakes coach Troy Larson. "Numerous guys stepped up and made plays.
"Iowa Central out-played for more than 39 minutes and they're a very good team," he continued. "But what a gusty win for our program."
The Lakers didn't have as much trouble in the final against Ellsworth, defeating the Panthers 64-51 to advance to Nationals for the first time since 2000.
In the first round at Nationals, the Lakers watched Owens Community College rally from a 14-point deficit to win 74-72.
Track and Field
Area teams again sent a host of athletes to the 2013 Iowa State Track and Field Meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines. Here is a recap of medal winners.
From ELC, Caitlyn Clayton finished eighth in the shot put with a throw of 38 feet, 2 inches.
Spirit Lake's 4×800-meter relay team of Mark Norland, Tanner Goetsch, Paul Woizeschke and Will Norris finished third. Norland finished fourth in the 1600-meter run while Norris placed fifth. The medley team of Bryson McCabe, Austin Folsom, Blake Enderson and Norland finished seventh. On the girls' side, Dondi Schmidt finished fourth in the 1500-meter run while Stokke placed eighth with a person-best of 1 minute, 8.51 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles.
In other spring sports. Rachael Westergard and Natalie Delanie finished sixth in the doubles bracket at the 2013 state tennis tournament. The Spirit Lake-Okoboji girls' tennis team also won its 14th consecutive Lakes Conference Tennis title, needing a rally against LeMars to keep the streak intact.
The 2013 Estherville Lincoln Central softball team came up with a pleasant surprise in qualifying for the state tournament for the third straight season. The Midgets' had graduated ace pitcher Kendall Bosch who had led the team to state the previous two seasons.
But ELC came up with good play behind junior pitcher Liz Brashear. The Midgets rallied to defeat Class 3A No. 6 Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley 6-5 in the regional final. ELC went 1-2 at the state tournament to finish sixth overall with an 11-5 win over Monticello in the consolation bracket to advance to the fifth-place game. ELC placed fourth in 2012 and fifth in 2011.
One of the biggest disappointments for area teams during the softball team came from North Union. After finishing second at state in 2011, the top-ranked Warriors failed to make the state tournament for the second consecutive year with a veteran squad.
Former Estherville Lincoln Central standout and Spirit Lake baseball coach Jason Schneider saw his Indians earn the first trip to the state baseball tournament for the first time in school history. Spirit Lake earned the trip with Brandon Stoll pitching in 5-0 shutout against Western Christian in the district final.
Cross Country
Estherville Lincoln Central has a tradition over the past decade or so of sending representatives-whether the full team or individuals-to the state cross country meet. While during that span ELC (in combination with Armstrong-Ringsted) has had qualifiers for the boys' state meet, the Midgets haven't sent more than one individual since the 1990s.
The future bodes well for the Midgets as they sent two representatives to the 2013 state meet in sophomores Lee Christensen and Nic Peters. Both finished in the top 30 as Christensen placed 23rd and Peters placed 28th. The duo led a young squad, which can only get better in 2014.
Meanwhile, Spirit Lake had two runners crack the top 10 in both the Class 2A girls and boys races. The Indians' Dondi Schmidt and Tanner Goetsch both placed seventh in their respective races. Both seniors, the two should do well in the 2014 track season.
Former Estherville Lincoln Central head coach Jerry Shultz was inducted to the Iowa Football Hall of Fame. Shultz coached at Estherville and Estherville Lincoln Central from the 1989 to the 2008 seasons with playoff appearances in 2003, 2006 and 2007.
Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire and Spirit Lake both qualified for the playoffs.
Earning their first playoff trip as the Titans, GTRA upset No. 10 River Valley in the opening round, 24-22, before falling to third-ranked Newell-Fonda in the second round.
Seventh-ranked Spirit Lake won easily in the first round and then nearly made an outstanding comeback against fifth-ranked Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley in the second round. After falling behind 26-0 by halftime, the Indians outscored the Blackhawks 28-8 in the second half.

Utley, Phillies come to agreement on extension
Second baseman agrees to two-year deal worth $27 million, possibly more
PHILADELPHIA -- Chase Utley asked plenty of questions long before the Phillies agreed to a two-year, $27 million contract extension Thursday.
He might love Philadelphia. He might love the Phillies. But Utley plays to win.
The Phillies are expected to miss the postseason for the second consecutive year, and 2013 could be their first losing season since 2002. So Utley, the undisputed heart and soul of the Phillies clubhouse, asked Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. numerous questions about the direction of the organization and its ability to recapture its winning ways next season and beyond.
"I wanted to know where we're at," Utley said in a news conference announcing the extension. "[Amaro] laid it out for me. He said we want to win. We're going to do what we need to do to win. Like I said, I've known Ruben for a long time. We have a good relationship. We trust each other. With that said, I wasn't uncomfortable."
"We had some conversations about what the future was going to be like for him," Amaro echoed. "I have a great deal of respect for Chase. We have an open relationship. I've known him for a long time. The goal ended up being the same. This is what we both wanted."
So they reached an agreement on a relatively creative contract that is profitable for Utley if he stays healthy, but fair for the Phillies if he is not.
A source told MLB.com he will make a guaranteed $27 million, but as much as $75 million. He will be paid $15 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015.
The deal includes a $2 million buyout.
"When Ruben first approached me about an extension, I told him I was up for it," Utley said. "I wanted to stay in this uniform, but I also wanted to be treated fairly. I'm not trying to break the bank; I'm just trying to be treated fairly in the marketplace. It's a very fair deal for both sides. Like Ruben said, going to free agency, maybe I left a little bit of money on the table with this deal. But it's not about the money. It's about the commitment. There is no better place to play than here."
Utley can earn an extra $5 million in 2015 if he is not on the disabled list for more than 15 days with a specific knee issue. He then has three vesting options based on 500 plate appearances. For example, if Utley reaches 500 plate appearances in 2015 he will make a guaranteed $15 million in 2016. The same holds true for 2016 and 2017. If Utley hits the 500 mark in any of those seasons, but finishes the year on the disabled list he must pass a physical that states he will be able to start the following season healthy for the option to vest.
If Utley is healthy, 500 plate appearances are a cinch. But he has not had 500 plate appearances in a season since he had 511 in 2010.
The Phillies can bring back Utley on a club option, even if he does not reach the 500-plate appearance threshold. That option can be at one of four levels: $5 million, $7 million, $9 million or $11 million. Each level is based on days on the active roster. For example, if Utley is active for 125 days he would receive $11 million the following season. The fewer active days he spends on the roster, the less the option.
Utley said he is confident in his ability to stay healthy.
"Over the past year and a half, ever since I came back last year, I've felt pretty good," he said. "Obviously, I have a routine that works for me. Obviously, I will continue to do that. As you get older you learn things about your body. I may need to make a few adjustments over time, but obviously I'm willing to put that time and effort in. I gave them a little bit of security as far as the second year of the deal. The whole thing isn't fully guaranteed. There's some money I have to earn, and that involves my knees. I feel confident I have put that behind me. As far as the vesting options, I have to be on the field, I have to be fairly productive, I have to stay healthy and obviously be a little lucky as well."
Utley does not have a full no-trade clause in the contract because he automatically receives a full no-trade right as a 5-and-10 player in a couple weeks.
But it doesn't sound like he will need to invoke it anyway. The Phillies could have tried to trade Utley before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, but Amaro made it clear he planned to keep him in a Phillies uniform.
Of course, what does Utley see that some fans might not? The Phillies have taken a step back each of the previous two seasons, but Utley has said repeatedly in recent weeks he sees reasons to be optimistic.
"I think it all starts with our ownership group," he said. "They're willing to do what they need to do to put a product on the field. They want to win just as bad as we do. We've had some great times over the past seven or eight years. I truly believe we can get back to where we were. I think a good indication of that is today. You got to see some guys play some pretty good baseball with Darin Ruf, Cody Asche, they're a part of this organization's future. I'm excited to watch them continue to improve. I feel like they have a lot to offer on the baseball field. Obviously, we need to get better. I think we have some pieces that can move us in that direction.
"This is something that, no matter what happens, I'm not going to regret. I've talked to some guys that have played here and moved onto other organizations. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I'm excited. I'm happy to be still a Phillie, and hopefully a Phillie for another five years."

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has launched an initiative to collect data about the cats of London into a map. It's called, perhaps unsurprisingly, Cat Map.
Cat Map invites mog owners or acquaintances to plot their feline counterparts onto a mapping tool, uploading a photo, an address, the cat's name, color, and age as well as a description.
The map has been launched to raise awareness about the conservation of tigers and the launch of London Zoo's Tiger Territory, which opens in March. In addition to moggies, the map also features the zoo's two Sumatran tigers -- five-year-old male Jae Jae and four-year-old female Melati—both described, somewhat unceremoniously, as "ginger".
ZSL is keen to find out how many and what sort of cats live in London. The data inputs aim to mimic the techniques used by field conservationists when recording the numbers and locations of individual animals.
Visitors can not only upload cats, but also explore the map to find out about the cats in their local area. Users can also run their own mini reports, counting up the number of tabby kittens called Claude, for example.
"Ever wondered about the tabby cats in Tottenham? Do white cats hail from White City? Or do you just want to know how many cats there are in Catford?" asks ZSL.
Cat Map has been created by ZSL web lead Filip Hnizdo, who told Wired.co.uk that the biggest challenge was making the uploading process as "streamlined and usable as possible". He went on to say that there are just 300 Sumatran tigers in the wild and he hopes that the project will make people think of their conservation plight. "It highlights the fact that people love cats and the similarity between big cats and little cats."
One data point that isn't required is the cats' breeds, although Hnizdo says that owners of pedigree cats are welcome to enter their breed into the free text field description box as well as their likes and dislikes.
"It might be that it's not your own cat -- it could be a stray cat that you see outside or someone else's cat. You can also check out the map in your area to see if you recognize any cats and find out more about them."
The map has been built using Open Layers with a Drupal content management system and D3 for data visualizations.
The map will stay on the ZSL site for at least a year, and possibly more. While the focus is on cats in London, people from other parts of the UK and beyond are encouraged to add their own. "We placed a cat in Kyrgyzstan during the testing process," said Hnizdo.
Cat lovers can upload their felines to zsl.org/catmap (Wired.co.uk has added the internet-dwelling Nyan cat; our editor is adding his neighbour's cat, "Steve Jobs"). Or they can visit London Zoo from 22 March to check out the new Tiger Territory.

Zola worked with the 22-year-old when in charge of Italy's under-21 team and admits he likes the striker who has had a tempestuous time at Manchester City - culminating in this week's training ground bust-up with manager Roberto Mancini.
"I have an affection for him. I have worked with him for the under-21s and I do care about him and I do hope his potential is fulfilled," Zola said.
"Even when he came on today you can see the potential in the man, and it's how to master that potential. I do hope he gets to that position as he will be a fantastic player. I am talking about what he can do to improve his situation but it's not down to me to say how."
Carlos Tevez took the plaudits for City however with a dashing performance rounded off by a stunning free-kick. There were also goals for Gareth Barry and on his debut for Portuguese midfielder Marcos Lopes, who only turned 17 last week.
Watford's best chance came with score at 1-0 when Fernando Forestieri was through one-on-one but City's keeper Costel Pantilimon, in for the rested Joe Hart, pulled off an excellent diving save.
Zola added: "Maybe it would have been different if that had gone in. I admit they deserved to win but the scoreline was a bit unfair."
Marcos Lopes is reputedly nicknamed 'Rony' after the Brazilian striker Ronaldinho - but City assistant manager David Platt brushed off any comparisons.
Platt said: "I hope not. His nickname is Marcos and he has played five minutes in an FA Cup tie and scored a goal. He should be proud of that and equally he should be ready to train tomorrow and he will be, with the under-21 team to play in their game on Monday.
"He's a good lad, he's got a very good temperament as well and he won't let that go to his head."

Contact Information
Owner: sysadmin-main
Contact: #fedora-admin or email@example.com
Location: PHX2
Servers: All PHX2 Fedora machines
Purpose: Access via ssh to Fedora project machines.
This page will contain some useful instructions about how you can safely login into Fedora PHX2 machines successfully using a public key authentication. As of 2011-05-27, all machines require a SSH key to access. Password authentication will no longer work. Note that this SOP has nothing to do with actually gaining access to specific machines. For that you MUST be in the correct group for shell access to that machine. This SOP simply describes the process once you do have valid and appropriate shell access to a machine.
SSH configuration
First of all: (on your local machine)
nano ~/.ssh/config
then, add the following:
Host *.phx2.fedoraproject.org *.fedoraproject.org fedorahosted.org *.fedorahosted.org fedorapeople.org User FAS_USERNAME # Add other machines to this line as desired. Host *.phx2.fedoraproject.org 10.5.125.* 10.5.126.* 10.5.127.* ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p bastion.fedoraproject.org
One slight annoyance with this method is that you must include the .phx2.fedoraproject.org part when you SSH to Fedora machines in order for the connection to be tunneled through bastion. If this is an issue, here are two possible ways to avoid it:
1. You can add aliases for each of the Fedora machines you login to by modifying the Host line:
Host *.phx2.fedoraproject.org 10.5.125.* 10.5.126.* 10.5.127.* puppet01 noc01 # list all hosts here
2. You can proxy everything through bastion by default and exclude hosts that you connect to directly:
# List all host you SSH to that are NOT Fedora machines # make sure to include bastion here as well! Host allyourlocalmachines bastion.fedoraproject.org ProxyCommand none Host * ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p bastion.fedoraproject.org
Keep in mind that if bastion ever goes down and you need to access things, you'll want to comment this section out.
SSH Agent forwarding
You should normally have:
ForwardAgent no
For Fedora hosts (this is the default in OpenSSH). You can override this on a per-session basis by using '-A' with ssh. SSH agents could be misused if you connect to a compromised host with forwarding on (the attacker can use your agent to authenticate them to anything you have access to as long as you are logged in). Additionally, if you do need SSH agent forwarding (say for copying files between machines), you should remember to logout as soon as you are done to not leave your agent exposed.
- 'channel 0: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed': If you receive this message for a machine proxied through bastion, then bastion was unable to connect to the host. This most likely means that tried to SSH to a nonexistent machine. You can debug this by trying to connect to that machine from bastion.
- if your local username is different from the one registered in FAS, please remember to set up a User variable (like above) where you specify your FAS username. If that's missing SSH will try to login by using your local username, thus it will fail.
- ssh -vv is very handy for debugging what sections are matching and what are not.
- If you get access denied several times in a row, please consult with #fedora-admin. If you try too many times with an invalid config your IP could be added to denyhosts.
- If you are running an OpenSSH version less than 5.4, then the -W option is not avaliable. In that case, use the following ProxyCommand line instead:
ProxyCommand ssh -q bastion.fedoraproject.org exec nc %h %p

Ferrari, Chevrolet among carmakers adding Apple's iOS to dashboards
During his keynote presentation at the World Wide Developers Conference, Eddy Cue, Apple's head of internet software and services and a sitting Ferrari board member, said that full iOS integration with car dashboards will be coming in 2014. Twelve manufacturers are already on board, one of which -- surprise, surprise -- is Ferrari, a company Cue joined in 2012 to help it harness the power and possibility of internet services. The other companies to pledge support are Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Chevrolet, Infinity, KIA, Hyundai, Volvo, Opel, Jaguar Land Rover and Acura.
In his demo, a number of iOS apps appeared on a car dashboard display screen including Voice calls, Messaging, Maps and Music Player, all of which react to voice commands.
It was at last year's WWDC that Apple revealed something called Siri Eyes Free, an option on the latest iPhone that made it safe to use while driving. By pressing a dedicated button on a car's dashboard, the driver could use voice commands to make and receive calls, instruct Siri to make searches or to read back emails and take dictation. Driving, distractions were reduced further still by the fact that in Eyes-Free mode, the iPhone's screen didn't even light up when in use. In 2012 nine car makers had pledged support for the system.
Twelve months later, the feature is already being offered on Chevrolet, Honda, Acura, BMW and Mercedes cars.
The latest announcement really ups the ante. Siri's capabilities have received a serious overhaul and now the voice-activated, talkative virtual assistant can make web searches and access information via Bing or Wikipedia, read back Tweets, and control elements such as screen brightness and volume. And what's more, she (or he if the user prefers a male voice) can now do it all while the device's owner is behind the wheel.

[This thread is meant for a one-on-one debate between me and Balls_of_Titanium1. Please do not post here if you are not Balls_of_Titanium1]
Hi Balls_of_Titanium1,
(For convenience, I will address you as BOT1 from hereon. I hope this will not be offending you)
You are supposed to defend two prime contentions in this debate as you did it in another thread from where we are directed to this location. Subsequently, I will be refuting those contentions using your (Muslim) authentic sources. First of all, I will deal with your first contention:
My argument was:
You responded:KhaliL Fariel wrote:I repeat your book and history proves you wrong. Jews were maltreated by Muhammad and his followers.
Your response has the undertone of a promise too that when I am proving my points with back up sources you will be replying to them in a different mode than mere rhetoric. So I will substantiate my claim in order for you to add your refutations to it.Balls_of_Titanium1 wrote:When you opine, you are just opining. When you provide back up sources, the mode of my reply would be different.
First of all, let us see what Quran says about Jews in general. This is excerpt from one of my articles which is highly relevant here:
Jews are an accursed lot according to Quran. Allah cursed them not once but many times. Allah cursed Iblis (Satan) only on a single occasion, but never hesitated to renew his curse in the case of Jews. It doesn't confine the curse to a past generation of Jews. The curse is with them until the resurrection day. See Quran:
The Jews say: "Allah's hand is tied up." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He give and spends (of His bounty) as He pleases. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loves not those who do mischief. [Quran Chapter 5: 64]
See it in the above verses, (focus on the bolded part) Allah says, among them (Jews) he has placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. So, the hatred and enmity is protracted to the end of days. I bring this up now to help you to not bring the context argument in your defense. Quran (Allah) says Jews are to bear the burden of Allah's wrath until the Day of Judgment. Remember Satan too is cursed by Allah in the same way Jews are cursed. The most merciful god granted respite to Satan until the Day of Judgment. So the logic is, if Jews are flourishing all the times that would be because Allah given them respite just like he gave it to Satan, but believers can not be with them for that. If any believer befriends them, he will be lost. Just like those who follow in the footsteps of Satan will be lost.
For a true believer, who believes in Allah and Muhammad, there can not be any difference between Satan and Jews, because both are cursed by Allah. This is the true Islamic stance.
Is there anything relevant to the mentioning of this Day of Judgment in Quran? Of course there is because after suffering all the hatred and enmity, what will happen to Jews when they happened to be at the end of times? See the hadith:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." [Sahih Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:]
This is the portrayal of the Hour. And we see a definite indication for massacre of Jews in the above hadith. That means a Muslim who has to believe in The Hour has to believe in this mass murder too.
The belief in Allah and the Last Day is one of the pillars of Faith in Islam. Do not forget this fact, so by default a Muslim has to believe in the total annihilation of Jews. If a human being is conditioned in this way, do you think he is going to befriend and love Jews? Not at all; in fact he will be longing for The Hour to come when stones and trees betrays Jews to Muslims.
It is dictated to Muslims by their holy scripture and other authentic sources to hate and hate and hate Jews until the end of times then to massacre them with the help of talking stones and trees.
This is what my contention means. Hatred of Jews is a holy ordinance for Muslims. As long as Quran and Muslims authentic sources remain, Muslim can not stop hating Jews.
Next, I will deal with the topic of the treatment of unbelievers in general. I will bring Quran again:
Lo! those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers; on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined.[Quran: 2:161]
If you carefully focus on the verses above, it says of disbelievers who live and die as disbelievers. On them is the curse of Allah-the god of Muslims. Moreover angels too curse them, again all believing people curse them. This is Quran..! Should I bring more from your holy text to prove my case unbelievers are subjected to the hatred of Muslims since they are an accursed lot? Can you relentlessy curse a group of people and love them at the same time?
How can you prove your case Allah loves unbelievers when in fact he curses them along with his angels and incites believers too to take part in this cursing business?
Now, let me see what you said in the other thread:
Well, I need you to bring the hadith here so that I can scrutinize it. You just mentioned a Hadith, but it needs to be brought. And in advance, I am going to present a verse from Quran and a Hadith to endorse it that would negate your assertion. (Keep in mind, you should bring the hadith you are talking about so that I can show how shallow a claim you made. I know of the hadith you are talking about and it does not mean what you asserted. But I will wait until you bring it up) Now, deal with this below:Balls_of_Titanium1 wrote:In a hadith, Muhamamd said that Allah loves his creation 70 times more than a mother loves his child.
That is about all creation and not just Muslims.
It is the sin that we must abhor.
Similarly, Allah says in the Qur'an that he does not forbids us from being kind and just to those kafirs who don't fight us on the basis of our religion.
It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of unbelievers (or polytheists) even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell fire.[Quran: 9:113]
And to know of this verse's context see the hadith:
Narrated Al-Musaiyab: When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Apostle came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Apostle said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Allah's Apostle said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:-- 'It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans.' (Q: 9.113) [Sahih Bukhari: Book:60, Hadith: 295]
In light of the Quranic verse and the supportive hadith, let me ask you Muslim, how can you even remotely think of loving an unbeliever when in fact it is forbidden for you to pray for them? Do you have a different definition for love?
I would just wind up because it is not appropriate to lengthen a presentation but not before I ask you a question:
Can you bring me any verse from Quran or your Sahih sources to assert any claim that your god "LOVES" unbelievers? If you can, bring it on and argue you are only allowed to hate sin and not the sinners.
Until you come up with your rebuttal…
With regards

visit store
Fashion label Ingrid Starnes operate two retail stores and their online store.
In order to manage stock it was vital for them that their e-commerce solution worked in with their in-store POS system. With Dremus they find that not only do the systems work to update one another on sales but that because they share information they only need to enter the product data into one system to have it appear in both.
"We're a pretty small outfit, so if that is one thing we don't have to do then there is time for us to get some of the other stuff done!"
Another really important point for the label was the ability to customize their store.
"Because this system is skinnable we could spend our budget on getting a custom interface designed that shows the clothes in a way that we are really happy with. When your design is your story it is so important to be able to have that story told well through how we sell our products, not just the products we sell."
Being able to sell clothes at all hours and to the whole world was what got the label online. Initially they wondered if people wanted to buy online as trying silk dresses for fit and drape is so important.
"But we found that this was another place for people to get a good look, and people who lived away from a stockist or who live overseas were able to look and then buy online for the first time". And in this having an online store is something Ingrid had never guessed, fun.
It is such a great feeling to wake up and see orders from Italy or Japan or England that might have come in overnight".

JonTron has made a career out of playing terrible games so you don't have to. Which is great, because how else were we going to sit through these awful, bootleg Pokémon titles and crack jokes? This is practically charity.
Spanning several Nintendo consoles and handhelds, there have been quite a few awful cash-ins on the Pokémon franchise over the years. I have to commend JonTron's patience in playing through them all, though, because I think I would have just quit at the Pac-Man/Pikachu crossover.

Mauer grateful for All-Star experience
MINNEAPOLIS -- The All-Star break was a nice refresher for most of the Twins, but not for catcher Joe Mauer or closer Glen Perkins, who represented the club in the Midsummer Classic at Citi Field.
But Mauer, who went 1-for-2 and caught six scoreless innings in the American League's 3-0 win, said the experience was worth it, especially spending it with Perkins for the first time. Perkins didn't get into the game but warmed up three times.
"I was hoping he would've got an inning there or a batter, but for him just to experience it, I know he had a great time," Mauer said. "I had yesterday [off], which was pretty nice. So it was a nice little break there. Like I said, any time you get a chance to go to the All-Star Game, it's definitely worth going."
Mauer added that he is willing to be an ambassador for the Twins next year with Target Field set to host the Midsummer Classic, but said he has to be named an All-Star first.
"Being in those games, I know that it's never promised and never guaranteed," Mauer said. "To be a part of any one is special, and I hope I can have a chance next year. That'd be great. I'd gladly do whatever they want me to do. I got to chat with David Wright there and saw him at the brunch at the game, and Tuesday morning he was exhausted. He said it was a lot of fun."
