I've seen both sides of the Kwalitee/Quality situation here. At my first school, the most popular teacher was the guy who threw a ball all day in class.
When I moved on to a training center for a while, I found that the students wanted to learn quickly without a lot of work while playing games. That didn't work for me. The new students got used to my style, but the others didn't. The ones who complained were the students who weren't making progress because they weren't focusing on the problems I identified for them to study. But I did have one student tell me I was the most difficult teacher she ever had, and thanked me for never allowing mistakes to go by.
Now, I definitely consider myself lucky with the job I have. My boss expects me to teach the material well. She doesn't want me to play games (not that I ever would with grad students). Plus, there's a great amount of communication with my boss.

Well, I certainly want my kids to have qualified teachers and a reasonably sound program...which is why she will never come within 200 nautical miles of a Chinese public school or university.
But then I'm just a naysayer, a Gloomy Gus, who neglected to get a REAL teaching cert out of sheer laziness and a terribly unprofessional unwillingness to simply spend the time needed to gain the understanding of my profession and the theoretical body of knowledge it takes to teach a class of 35 sugar-hyped 8-year-olds to say "I want eat hambooorgur!" (which they already knew how to say anyway) with the assistance of my comatose teaching assistant and my parent-panicked school staff.
My real problem, truth be told, is simply that negative attitude. A real professional teacher would simply apply their theoretical knowledge base to justify cheating on tests, changing grades, selling degrees, making incredible bullshit promises to parents, and passing everyone regardless of performance, all with a healthy greasing of bribes and kickbacks, because after all this is just a part of this ancient and wonderful culture, which I as a Western white male with an imperfect understanding of my profession have no right or basis to judge or criticize.
It was this very negativity that led me to squander my formative years on nonsense like learning to operate an apostrophe without driving it into a ditch- a talent in which I seem to be nearly unique- rather than taking on a good rigorous dose of pedagogy that would be coming in so terribly handy in this demanding Chinese educational environment.
What a wanker I am!
If I and other so-called "teachers" were only able to stay positive about this profit-driven only-skin-deep daisy chain, then there would be absolutely no problems at all and everything would be just fine always, and I could sleep soundly in the knowledge that I am indeed a superior human being.
But I'm stuck with this limited vision...these blinkers that lead me to believe that the entire argument is based upon a tragic, self-serving fallacy: that this job wants to move into the professional stage.
It doesn't. It just...plain...doesn't. Oh, sure, a lot of foreign self-actualization seekers want to, but the overwhelming majority of employers, local practitioners, and customers want no part of it. It would be inconvenient, requiring as it does a commitment to unprofitable standards that would make it harder for big important school own mans to drive many big shiny black car and buy so much inverstmernt property, and require too many people to wake the hell up and work for a damn living, and require little Wang Xing to demonstrate some actual knowledge and ability rather than skate through snickering because of Dad's understanding of the bribery system and loyalty to the Party structure.
I'm hopeless. Terrible. I guess I should pack up and go back to to work at KFC. Maybe, with hard work, s'omeday I could get the qual's needed to become a hairdres'sers ass'is'tant. '

These arguments have been around for 100 years! Each time a job wants to move into the professional stage, the naysayers (generally the people already within that system who don't want to spend the time getting the qual) will always point out the lack of necessity for professional qualifications. Nursing, teaching, doctors, vets, hairdressers - you name it and every profession has gone through the same process.
Qualifications don't necessarily make you a better anything - but they sure as hell provide a legitimate framework for understanding the profession and it's theoretical body of knowledge. I still want to see a properly qualified doctor rather than someone who has been to a doctor and figures they can do the same of better job. I want my daughters taught by someone who knows the field they are studying and who has an understanding of pedagogy.
Will those of you with children be asking for the schools you send them to to have qualified teachers??
Fine, LE, but again, what do you mean by 'qualified'. As Raoul has mentioned above, it's a bit of a difference being a non-qualified teacher (but with a.n.y Degree plus CELTA cert) teaching kids to say "I can haz hamburger?" and being a fully qualified teacher teaching a full 'international' syllabus.
Personally, after I've done my PGCE, I won't be coming a million miles of a typical Chinese school, because the resources made available to teachers would make the job too frustrating for a qualified teacher. When and if the schools here start to look for 'qualified teachers' they're going to have to drastically improve not just the salaries offered, but the setup in its entirety. If a qualified teacher from the UK has done a long course in order to train to be a primary school teacher where he or she has their own class whom they teach all day, including maths, science, geography, english, et al, they are hardly going to want to go back to the situation where they have to run round lots of different classes, each of whom they see for a few periods a week, and teach them rudimentary ESL. If the Chinese want qualified teachers in, say, their primary schools, they're going to have to allocate those FTs full 'ban zhu ren' status and give them the resources to teach a syllabus much like they would teach in the UK. Otherwise, what's the use in hiring a fully qualified foreign teacher? Their qualifications will be wasted. A CELTA ought to be qualification enough, in the setup as it stands at the moment.

Not much to add as I don't think "listening" skills are up to it. I guess as an over-qualified teacher, I have seriously limited my ability to actually teach here in China according to the accepted foundational educational pedagogical beliefs "widely" and "broadly" accepted here.
I'll go back to having fun with my uni students ...

The frustration from your first post RD is completely familiar with me. I used to pour sweat, blood and tears into my school. What do I get in return? A swift kick in the nuts. Even my most dedicated parents who believe in what I do say I do too much and that most parents just don't get it. Before I never liked to use much of a book or give tests. Most parents don't care about the progress their children are making with understanding the language and being able to communicate, they want to see the homework, the tests, the pitch-perfect robotic and memorized one-minute speeches that prove...what? So, I've come to terms and I've met them in the middle.
my third price hike and new billing arrangement.
Now I worry less about my classes as I use a book more, give small tests after every three months (which takes up their money and gives me a rather nice break), rarely teach much outside the book (except under special circumstances such as the earthquake) but still incorporate my teaching style mixed with activities to make the learning experience enjoyable. I've lost about five students after the price hike but the rest of the parents are liking the new schedule because they can follow it and see the penciled progress of their children. Rather silly, but I've given up fighting them on trying to teach
how their children ought to be taught and being much more business minded about my school.
I won't say I've completely given up as I still make my classes enjoyable and I push them to learn something. I'm just much more Chinese about the whole process.

you recognise, right, that you're all passionately involved in what you do? And correspondingly frustrated, and therefore deep into finding new ways to function?
Group hug, you bunch of teachers, you!!!
As the profession becomes more formalised, it'll require committment earlier in the job history. People will need to be thinking about getting qualified long before they've actually banged up against the walls and discovered first hand where and how and why a tool would have served a useful purpose. Correspondingly, the industry will become less creative, less frustrating and less fascinating.
The forces of history and their means of production are clutching at your heels! Jump high, young grasshoppers! Resist! For formalisation, thin creeping professionalisation is driven not by teaching concerns, but by profit margins and gutless, slimy managers, themselves less than half educated to their own profession. Rebel while you can.
Or the day will dawn where managers are less slimy, and you, relying only on your twenty years of hard-won success, attempt to hire some young buck for your own school, and you'll look down his resume and wonder who he really is if he hasn't got his MA.

That was a joke, LE. ("I can haz hamburger").
I think teaching here is a good introduction to teaching, and I certainly don't regret that. But you do get to the point where you feel like you've done as much as you can. I won't come back to a school like this once I've got the PGCE, though, whether in China or in the UK.

The point about would we send our kids to a normal Chinese school is a good one, of course. For many of us, 'education' is one of the main reasons why, when we have mixed kids over here, we take the decision to move back to the UK. You're quite right, I wouldn't send my kid to a Chinese school, not because of the quality (or lack of) of the possible FT, but because of the education system overall. For all its faults, I still think the British system is better.

I fall into the category of 'not a real teacher' as my mother, who DID go to teacher's college, put it when I first came to China to teach. There have been times when I wished I had a course in classroom management to fall back on for those horrendous, out-of-control classes such as have been described above. I'm sure I could be better at what I do, given some formal training. But I think I'm doing a good job of meeting the needs of those students entrusted to me.
My uni has the idea that all non-English major freshmen and sophomores should have an oral English exam. Their score counts for 20% of their English grade. Each FT has been assigned a Chinese English teacher partner and several classes of students to test. When they gave us the scoring criteria they only gave us points 6-10 on a 10 point scale. 60% is a pass here. One of the other FTs asked what we should use to measure the students who are below the criteria for a 6. Wish I had a camera to record the look on the face of the teacher in charge of this 'little' project. We aren't supposed to fail anyone.
My partner and I did fail several students. Ya gotta open your mouth and speak English if you want to pass the oral English exam.
Today was the last chance for the final few students who missed their first appointment, and the make-up appointment. Two out of 8 showed. My partner said the others weren't going to come, because even if we gave them 20/20 they wouldn't have enough to pass their English class. So, they get a 0.
Then I asked her what happens when a student fails a class. Here's where I get back on the topic of this thread... They are given an exam that is so easy that it is almost impossible to fail. And the teachers in charge of administering that exam are told to pass everyone. I asked her how she felt about that and she said that many teachers at the uni have been complaining about this standard for years, but nothing has changed. She agreed that it cheapened the name of the school and the degree received by students who actually do the work. The younger teachers here have great ideals, but I fear they are being crushed by the system. It will be years before they are the ones in charge and by then their integrity might have been beaten out of them.
My uni just went through a huge evaluation. The gist of the final report was that the setting and buildings are beautiful, the classrooms are well equipped, but the students and teaching are not quality. At least the evaluators saw through the window dressing. I truly hope this has an impact on the way things are done here.
If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.

Now, I won't even get into the whole degree/qualification debate. Having a degree does not make you anymore qualified to being a teacher than anyone else.
Perhaps this is true if one goes to university in your country, but in Canada, getting an education degree requires a considerable amount of practical as well as theoretical work including a four month practicum in the final (fourth) year of study. Personally, I wouldn't entrust my children or grandchildren to anyone but a qualified teacher for an education in Canada. If I was to be raising children in China then I would likely go the route of an international school. If I was Chinese, it would be a no-brainer - a Chinese school along with the 1.4 billion others. A lot of educated, bright Chinese people running around who were "educated" in the Chinese education system for Chinese people.

You're saying that you would not put your children in a Chinese school. In the UK or US you know that the teacher is not some former cheese-monger from Wisconsin who only barely passed high school, but a qualified, professional educator who took the time to get educated.
Ah, but as I said, my reason for that is not anything to do with the qualifications (or lack of) of an FT, but the general Chinese school system.

Yep, wasn't talking about getting a degree in education. However, we don't have that here. If you want to teach primary school, you enroll in a Teacher's Seminar and study for that. If you want to teach high school, you go to university, get you Masters', with a major and a minor, take the 1 year pedagogikum on the side and you're qualified to teach high school. Uni is the same thing, except for the pedagogue thingy.
When it comes to teaching children, the more qualified the teacher is, the better. When it comes to higher education, I don't think I have ever had a professor who had any pedagogical training, nor were they interested in getting any. Personally, I would rather juggle chainsaws blindfolded than teaching children again.

I think LE missed the bulls-eye by several Astronomical Units.
I've never at any point said that we don't accomplish anything here. We do. But for most of us it's only for a few individuals, a pathetically tiny minority. And most of the rest are shoved through anyway, no matter what, unfazed by us or anything else, to a degree far beyond anything I've heard of in Western countries.
However, I do very strongly agree that the people we work for are worse than Satan, and the system we work in is as rotten as possible. Many of us may not qualify as teachers back home, but these admins (and way too many of the local teachers (certainly not all)) we encounter wouldn't qualify to mow the campus lawns back there, either, and the students that could squeak into a Western college at all would probably last about 3 hours before being smacked up for cheating/plagaiarizing/etc. So, what the hell.
And I am indeed stating that the jobs, and a helluva lot of the students, just aren't worth it. They don't understand, appreciate, or want all that fine educational philosophy and tradition and training we represent. Nor do they want to, and they will fight tooth-and-nail to prevent it from happening.
And it is, indeed, very sad...but it's not the fault of all those "unqualified" teachers. It's the fault of the stinking system that hired them in the first place.
I'm not making my own child any different from any other. No matter who's in the classroom, serious teaching quals are, IMHO largely irrelevant if the entire educational philosophy and practice are useless. And again, overall, I'm pretty sure that the Chinese system is completely useless, except for serving the personal enrichment of the weasels entrusted to guard the local henhouses. I want qualified teachers AND a meaningful education...for everyone.
As for bias
those with real teaching qualifications, I'm not sure I've ever seen one of those. It's certainly not coming from me. I have deep respect for trained career teachers...so much, in fact, that I hate to see them wasting their abilities in a system that doesn't even know or care what they really mean. If you have government quals, good for you. It's one path (but not the ONLY path) to being a great teacher.
If there is a bias here, I feel it tends to go the other way. How many of us have heard, in a staff room or online, some yammerhead look down their noses at the colleagues around them, and sniff about what a terrible shame it is that a person of their obviou's superiority has to work alongside these terrible drunken backpacker's who are just mes'sing everything up and not giving their work the Code Blue seriousnes's it really deserve's, and making "real" teacher's such as themselve's' look bad? I've heard it way too much...and me and the rest of the terrible drunken backpackers have a few interesting suggestions for them and the horses they rode in on.
I know quite a lot of tremendous teachers here who never had day one of formal teacher training.
Now: everyone who has
had a technically "qualified" teacher who was a useless lunatic load of horse apples, please say "Aye".
<SFX: crickets chirping>
So, back to the main point here...quals are nice, but they don't guarantee success as a teacher. The lack of quals, in turn, does not guarantee failure or inferiority. IMHO those who do have quals and feel compelled to lord over those who do not are just pullin' their own popsicles.
Giving the Education Ministry enough credit to think they may be seeing the problems and wanting to do something about them is at best a HUGE "maybe". My bet is that they're looking up from their gaggle of karaoke girls and asserting through caviar-smeared lips that Everything Is Just Fine. My bet is that all these new visa rules are all about reducing our numbers and increasing the control over us, and doesn't have dick to do with a non-existant desire to really raise the bar.
There's no cake here to either have OR eat.

However, there is also a distinct need for the schools to not have the same requirements as Western schools.
Are Chinese people not as intelligent as us? I don't think so.
Do Chinese students intrinsically deserve less than their Western counterparts? Hell, no.
Do the Chinese not operate on the World Stage at all? Clearly, no.
Should we continue to buy the bushwa that "Well, this is just how we've always done it here, and it can't be changed?" I don't think so...at least not as completely as the apologists want us to.
The Chinese educational system remains a crock of shit because changing it would cost the main players money and face. Period.

By Eliz Dowdy
For the last several years I have been hearing reports of a former Black pilot who resides not too far from me. I finally had the opportunity to meet Lt. Col. Tony Marshall at the showing of the movie "Red Tails." Over the months occasionally our paths would cross; an accomplished photographer, when my camera went on
strike, I would call him for back up photographs.
Lt. Col. Marshall was born and raised in Upper Marlboro in Maryland, growing up on a farm with parents who did not have the opportunity to finish school, but who were adamant that he would go to college. Marshall graduated from Frederick Douglas High School in 1964; the Vietnam War was beginning to really heat up and he did not want to go into the army. He began the pursuit of secondary education; he was told to attend local educational facilities, but one counselor advised him to leave the area, to look for scholarships. He did all of the above and received three scholarship offers. He wound up at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs; studies were a struggle, but he persevered. After her death he would learn that his mother had pulled strings to get him into the academy, a lady with a sixth grade education, but who worked in a house where she had the privilege to meet an elected official who would sponsor the young Marshall. That first year he wanted to see what was available; because of his eyesight he would end up in navigator training. Marshall is ready to share what has propelled him from farm boy to flyer, one being "Luck is being ready when opportunity knocks."
After training, he was sent to McDill AFB in Florida to fly; there he would meet veterans who had been to Vietnam, they told him to change his mindset about the war and those who didn't come back.
Marshall was stationed at Udorn Airbase in Thailand for 18 months. Though not a risk-taker, he ended up paired with a pilot who liked to take chances; although they had a heart-to-heart talk, the pilot went in too low. Their mission was to mark places for the bombers to drop bombs. When their plane was hit, he parachuted first and went into total shock. He was surrounded by Vietnamese with AK-47's, and he had an unloaded pistol. He was taken to Hanoi and quartered at the famous Hanoi Hilton holding facility. We hear torture tales that make us shudder, but Marshall says he was never tortured or hurt, although he awakened in an underground hole. He thought he would be shot, and was mad because no one could do anything to save him. He was captured July 3, 1972, and on August 12 his mother found out he was a prisoner of war. Marshall believes he was a novelty because of his race; they didn't see many Blacks. His biggest fear was losing his mind, but he managed to maintain his sanity; there were lots of things to think about. Marshall calls that time graduate training because he learned that both sides exaggerate, and as a sidebar he added that no one knows what they will do in those situations.
The war was winding down; he was released March 29, 1973. He stayed in the service, received his pilot's license and retired in 1990. Those nine months that he was captive held another life lesson for Marshall: "Don't waste time; when you are late you are saying to the other person, your life is not important."
When he retired from the Air Force Marshall was hired by United Airlines; there he was mentored by a Black pilot who told him to mentor Black kids. He would come out early, go into the waiting area, grab some kids and take them into the cockpit. He flew for United for 17 years, and logged 12,000 hours flying the DC-10, B-747, and A-320 aircraft out of Los Angeles. He heard about a guy in Compton whose business was giving helicopter rides; he met the Tuskegee airmen, sold his business and began to work with a young non-profit organization, the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP). That was the beginning of the Aviation Career Education Academy that operates out of Compton Airport. Marshall stated he didn't even know there was an airport in Compton at the time. The kids just started showing up; one of the former students was hired as a pilot, one girl did a cross country flight. The group currently operates from two sites, Compton and Las Vegas. They have completed both camps this month; now Lt. Col. Marshall is looking to expand to the high desert; he was instrumental in Millionaire Mind Kids hosting an aviation summer camp earlier this summer.
The Colonel says that he is doing what he likes; he doesn't believe in the victim mentality but getting the children early and getting them motivated. He will continue his regimen as long as he sees progress. He is an avid gardener, loves the small town atmosphere of Apple Valley, and considers it great that he gets paid to perform his hobby.
Colonel Marshall has amassed numerous military awards; he retired after 22 years with 480 hours of combat time, 3000 hours in the F-4 and 3,600 hours of total military flying time. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and a Master's degree in Business Management. He volunteers as a mentor at the Lewis Center Academy of Academic Excellence in Apple Valley, and also serves as a mentor for the Millionaire Mind Kids in Victorville. He is the West Region Vice President for the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, a mentor and board of directors chair at Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum, and a member of the Los Angeles chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen.
He took the advice of his mentor at United Airlines, Bill Norwood, and adheres strictly to the principles of reaching back to lift the children from mediocrity. Marshall resides in Apple Valley.
Words of wisdom from the man "who's been there, done that": Live your dream, never give up; take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself!

A year ago Wednesday, Malala Yousafzai was riding the bus home from school when a Taliban gunman climbed aboard and shot her in the head. She nearly died.
Now, the 16-year-old advocate for girls' education is a popular favorite for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded Friday.
To mark the anniversary of the shooting, her memoir, "I am Malala," came out Tuesday. The phrase has become a battle cry for the right to an education around the world.
The memoir follows her odyssey from near-death to global fame in just a year's time. It also gives a vivid account of her everyday life in Pakistan's Swat Valley and how she developed a love for education.
Her public fight to get that education and for the right of girls to get one, too, is what put her at odds with the Pakistani Taliban.
They banned girls from schools in the Swat Valley in 2009. Malala anonymously blogged for the BBC in opposition to that order, drawing the Islamist militants' rage.
New threat
The Taliban renewed their death threat against her Monday.
Spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said the teenager was targeted because she was used in propaganda against the Taliban.
"If there is any opportunity we can target, she would be on our hit list again."
The Taliban have denied Malala was targeted for promoting education for girls.
"Taliban are not opposed to girls education, if it's within the ambit of Shariah and Islamic education, but they could not support anti-Islamic agendas and Westernized education systems," Shahid said.
The militant group destroyed over 170 schools between 2007 and 2009, the U.N. said.
Malala answers
In an interview with Malala on "The Daily Show" on Tuesday, Jon Stewart asked her what she would do if a Taliban assassin came calling again.
"I'll tell him how important education is, and that I even want education for your children as well," she said Tuesday. And I would tell him, 'that's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.'"
Fighting the Taliban is important, but through peace, dialogue and education, she said.
But the Taliban often prefer to let their guns do the talking.
Malala has lived outside of her homeland ever since she was shot last year.
Her odyssey
The gunman who climbed on board that school bus wounded Malala in the head and neck. The driver hit the gas. The assailants got away.
Malala was left in critical condition.
Doctors fought to save her life, then her condition took a dip. They operated to remove a bullet from her neck, and as brain swelling threatened her life, a surgical team cut out a section of her skull to relieve the pressure. After surgery, she was unresponsive for three days.
She was flown to the U.K. for intensive medical treatment and multiple surgeries to repair the damage the bullets had done.
Doctors there covered the large hole in her skull with a titanium plate. Malala has kept the piece of skull that had been removed as a souvenir of her fight.

Salome goes to Claudius to arrest John,but he too refuses.
Herodias and her henchman,Micah(Arnold Moss)soon come up with a plan to kill John with Salomes help.
Not a bad religious film.Its not as good as King Of Kings or Quo Vadis,but its still good.

Rodarte's Black Swan Costumes Go On Display
California's famous fashion designing sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy of the couture line Rodarte may not have gotten the film credit for the costumes in "Black Swan" but the talented designers are getting their own moment in the sun as the tutus go on display as part of their first West Coast solo exhibition "Rodarte: States of Matter," at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The movie's intricate tutus are displayed as art and are filled with resin sculptures that show the form of the pieces but don't distract in the way that full mannequins might. Hung from wires, the tutus slowly spin for an effect that is both ethereal and eerie. The tutus and other elaborate Rodarte dresses are surrounded by fluorescent light tubes in red, black and white which gives the exhibit a bold contrast. There are six tutus that Academy-Award winner for Best Actress Natalie Portman wore in "Black Swan" on display along with a variety of dramatic black and white Rodarte couture creations. The AP reports that the Mulleavys did extensive research on ballet costumes which also ended up informing their runway collections during the seasons that they were working on the movie.

Pandora's Box Ever Opening: Ethical Cowardice in Nashville
April 30th, 2009 by admin
by D. L. Adams
Today in Nashville the government of the United States was involved in undermining the government of the United States.
A case of alleged employee discrimination against a Muslim employee that began in 2006 finally was concluded in this city today. The details of the case are these: a Muslim employee of the Southern Hills Medical Center (an HCA facility) sued because his request to take 20 days leave to attend the Haj in Mecca was refused. The US government, through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued the employer on behalf of the aggrieved employee.
The government's (EEOC) position was that this was a violation of the employee's Civil Rights (Title 7violation), and that the employer "failed to accommodate the firmly held religious beliefs" of the employee. EEOC alleged unfair labor practices. Southern Hills, realistically fearing the power of the US government fighting them in court, bad publicity, and growing legal costs, settled today paying the Haj attendee $70,000 for his troubles.
Accommodation to Islam by a host culture (non-Islam) is foundational in the doctrine of Islam. Islam does not accommodate nor assimilate to a host culture; Islam makes the host culture submit. Islam means "submission". No other religions, no other forms of government are allowed in the doctrine of Islam, only Islam. Anything that makes the host culture crack, anything that forwards Islam is the sacred duty of all Muslims, this is the doctrine of Islam, and this is jihad.
Today in Nashville, the US government caused an American business to submit to Islam, and thus further eroded the ability of the US government to protect itself and the country at large from the threat of encroaching jihad and Sharia law.
Americans do not understand the nature of Sharia law. It is an all-encompassing code of totalitarianism. Americans are told, falsely, that Sharia is just another form of jurisprudence, a form of religious law that is particularly strict. This is true, but its strictness is more akin to Nazism and Stalinism than it is to anything that any American is familiar with from American experience.
There is a serious difference though, under Nazism the Jews alone were afraid, but under Sharia law and Islam all non-Muslims have very clear cause to fear; fear of total cultural and religious annihilation which is the purpose of Islam at its core.
It is said in Sharia rules, and the Koran that no kafir can ever be above a Muslim in Civil Affairs.
In America today, we manifest our tolerance by giving Islam just one more small destruction of our culture. We feel that then, Islam will be happy and content as neighbors. But the way of Islam is the way of Mohammed. Only 100% is enough. (Bill Warner, PoliticalIslam.com)
And that is what has happened in Nashville today, the kafir (any unbeliever) was taught that making rules over a follower of Islam will have serious consequences, like legal action. And what a boon to Islam that the United States government itself is a dhimmi, a willing executioner of itself, aiding and abetting those whose doctrine demand its overthrow. Ignorance is a costly matter here. Lack of knowledge of the doctrine of Islam and its purposes make otherwise good Americans do very self-destructive things.
Pandora is laughing. Why? She is laughing because we now must re-examine the limits of the term "religion"; the phrase "firmly held religious belief", and the concept of what employment means and what it means to be an employer.
This surrender on the part of HCA to the misguided EEOC in giving in to the excessive demands of Islam, that no other religious group would likely be successful in prosecuting, is a victory of jihad; soft jihad - but just as dangerous to our civilization and culture as bombs.
According to one legal website, the definition of religion as recognized by the US government is as follows:
The Supreme Court has interpreted religion to mean a sincere and meaningful belief that occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to the place held by God in the lives of other persons. The religion or religious concept need not include belief in the existence of God or a supreme being to be within the scope of the First Amendment.
Because the United States is inclusive (not exclusive like some "religions of peace") the definition of religion is purposefully broad. Even questionable pseudo-religions/cults like Scientology are given religious protections in the United States.
In addition, a belief does not need to be stated in traditional terms to fall within First Amendment protection. For example, Scientology—a system of beliefs that a human being is essentially a free and immortal spirit who merely inhabits a body—does not propound the existence of a supreme being, but it qualifies as a religion under the broad definition propounded by the Supreme Court. (source cited above.)
In light of the surrender of HCA in Nashville to the lawsuit of a Muslim on grounds of "failure to accommodate firmly held religious beliefs" where is the evidence that shows definitively that the employer's decision to deny 20-days of vacation was based upon the fact that the employee was a Muslim? Where is the evidence that shows failure to accommodate on the part of the employer?
Is it sufficient evidence for the EEOC that because someone who follows (submits to; a Muslim is "one who submits") Islam has made an allegation about prejudicial and illegal conduct that therefor it is a fact? Where is the evidence?
One can make a strong case that the surrender of the employer is in no way an admission of guilt but rather is an admission that combatingthe federal government in court is too expensive with little upside and little likelihood of a successful outcome. HCA denies wrongdoing in this case.
One can understand the failure of HCA and Southern Hills to fight this case in court. But who will make this fight? Who will fight against Sharia and encroaching jihad? Who will fight this bizarre and self-destructive embrace of Islam by the EEOC and thereby the US government itself? Who will fight this existentialal fight, and challenge the insanity of political correctness that identifies a totalitarian, misogynist, anti-gay, anti-Christian, anti-Jew, anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist, anti-atheist, anti-democratic, anti-Freedom, anti-all-non-Muslim and claims that it is the "religion of peace" even as the dust of bombs fall to the ground somewhere in the world where violence and war is done in the name of Islam and Mohammed?
Will the next case be from some UFO cultist who, in following in the success today of Islam in Nashville, demands ten weeks vacation from his employer to observe flying saucers at Area 51?
This cultist will have "firmly held religious beliefs" that he must attend UFO observances at Area 51; he will state that his religion requires that he do this; he will state that his belief in his religion is firmly held, and that it is his religious duty to attend this event and that it is a "firmly held religious belief". He will sue his employer for denying him his requested 10-week leave to attend the saucer observation event.
Will the EEOC sue his employer as they did for the Islam follower in Nashville? Will the EEOC defend this person's right to embrace and follow the dictates of his "firmly held religious beliefs" and sue the employer for "failure to accommodate"?
This UFO believer's "religion" falls within the very liberal range of the definition of religion as understood by the Supreme Court of the United States. You see now where this is leading.
Today's surrender of American culture in Nashville, quite understandable under the circumstances, as represented by an innocent employer (in this case HCA) to a Muslim on ground of failure to accommodateIslam is a blow to our economy, a blow to the rights of the employer and a fundamental misunderstanding of the doctrine and purposes of Islam by the US government.
A victory for Islam is a defeat for the forces of freedom and compassion everywhere.
Another defeat today in Nashville, but this is a chance to learn, to teach. We must understand why this is a serious case, and teach the doctrine of Islam to all. Every American must know the doctrine of Islam. You will not learn it in school, but you must learn it. The greatest force for servitude, cruelty, violence, slavery, intolerance, and war in the world is political Islam.
Today we inch closer to Islamization of America. This is the purpose of political Islam.
Muslims are prohibited from befriending non-Muslims; the greatest sin in Islam is two-fold, leaving Islam (apostasy) or never having been a Muslim. To Islam America is just another country and culture and political system that is in dar-al Harb, the House of War; another country to be conquered for Mohammed.
The outside world, which has not yet been subjugated, is called the "House of War," and strictly speaking a perpetual state of jihad, of holy war, is imposed by the law.
Islam is at war with America because we are not Muslim. Islam's purpose is to make America Muslim, and Europe and every country in the world that is not now Muslim. Our denial of this fact is not relevant. As Walid Shoebat, a former Islamist PLO terrorist recently said, "The sheep do not know the wolf; but the wolf knows the sheep."

I have been surfing for almost a year now; my surfing has been on and off though. When I first started, I used my brother's board: a 6'8'' fun or longboard. After a couple of weeks I was able to get my first ride. After that, I got rides here and there but was never consistent. This all happened when I was in Dubai for the winter(the waves are decently sized but really choppy). When I came back to Santa Barbara, I bought a foam board from COSTCO because I thought it would help me with my fundamentals. I went surfing everyday for about a month and pretty consistently thereafter; at least once a week. I am able to catch waves all the time and get up most of time. The foam board is not exciting at all though. I just go straight or at a slight of an angle, but never with the wave. The waves here rarely get above 5ft., but they're nice smooth rides.
Should I continue using the foam board? Or is it time for me to switch to a real board? I was thinking of using a funboard or maybe a shortboard just because they seem more fun to me. (I am 6ft. 175 lbs.)
Any advice helps.

The city has amended its lawsuit against CliftonLarsonAllen, one of the largest financial consultants in the United States, saying the company should have detected the theft of nearly $54 million by former comptroller Rita Crundwell.

Students on Post-Completion OPT Who Have Filed for an H-1B
The government has provided an extension of work authorization or legal stay for students on post-completion OPT, known as the "cap gap" extension, who filed a timely application for an H-1B with an October 1 start date. This does not apply if your employer has filed for consular processing. Your employer may ask you to request an I-20 from the OGS so that your work eligibility form (Form I-9) can be updated. This page explains how to apply for a new I-20 to reflect your "cap gap" extension.

Goshen College underpass construction begins
Following the passing of the train, Norfolk Southern workers were ready to remove the tracks and signaling cable in order for construction workers to excavate.
The installation of the corridor will continue through today, but should be complete by Thursday. The schedule was for construction workers to dig out the soil between the two approaches to about an 18-foot depth, install drain lines and fill in part of the soil by mid-morning. From then until late afternoon, workers will install seven preformed sections of the underpass, connecting the two approaches, according to information from Goshen College.
During the evening, workers will fill in soil around the underpass and Norfolk Southern will return to put down the railroad track in time for Thursday�s first train to travel.
Once complete, the 10-foot, lit tunnel will connect stairs and a chair lift on either side of the railroad tracks. The underpass will be entirely finished this fall.
The public is welcome to watch the quick construction work, either by visiting the Recreational-Fitness Center on campus for information on the work and where spectators are allowed, or by watching the live camera footage available at www.goshen.edu/pr/underpass.

Skullgirls PC and PS3 to have cross-platform play
Reverge Labs has affirmed that it plans to implement cross-platform multiplayer for the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of Skullgirls. As a result, Reverge needs to be quite choosy about any DRM system it may implement on the PC version, and won't be using Games for Windows Live. Indie fighter Skullgirls is out now on both major console networks and will arrive on PC later this year.
Thanks, Gamespy.
