A9 TV, 29 April 2012
Lack of quality is a terrible scourge. A scourge on the whole Middle East. The pain of it can be felt everywhere. A huge lack of quality has pervaded the whole Islamic world, in Egypt and Lebanon and Jordan and Palestine. This needs to be revealed as a policy of state. That is vital, my brother. You can be as rich as you like, but if you have no quality… Do what you will. Quality is vital.
There was quality in the time of Rasulullah (saas). Quality in behavior, language, dress, cleanliness and everywhere. For example, Muslims went to Spain and founded a civilization there. People are still stunned when they see it. There was a glorious quality. There was quality in the Ottoman Empire. You see the works surviving from the Ottoman Empire. Nothing like them has been produced since. Concrete buildings, rectangular boxes, sacks of potatoes… after that it doesn't really matter how rich you are. It is no good. You need to reach the highest point in art and quality. Then the world will be beautiful in a technical sense. Without it, what happens? A man has a garden, but it is horrible and devoid of quality. You go in and it stinks. But care can make it high-quality.
Quality makes villages attractive. The state should take this matter in hand. They could even set up a ministry of quality. The state would look for quality in everything. That would be really great. The other way is no good. Quality is not expensive. It needs intelligence, taste and artistic tendencies. For example, even with very expensive materials a woman can still be low-quality. You see them, really embarrassing. Or they can be very high-quality with very cheap materials. It is a question of intelligence and conscience. One of the power of art pervading the soul. And that is associated with faith and reason. They are all interconnected.
Everywhere belonging to a Muslim will be spotless, radiant. There can be no cleanliness without quality. One's room may stink but he sees nothing wrong in that. As I was coming here today someone on Samanyolu TV said, "Women who cover up get rickets." The doctor said, "No." But they do. Why do you not tell the truth, doctor? All respect to our great teacher. "It is enough to see the Sun," he says. Do those poor things never go out in the Sun? Even if they do, just the face is no good. You should tell them to get a house with a garden and go out in the Sun in that. You should tell them to catch the Sun wearing shorts and a T-shirt or whatever they like. You walk around on the beach with your stomach exposed to the elements. Leave those poor things alone so they can catch some Sun, too. Of course they will contract rickets. Or catch viral infections or whatever. Their hair will be uncared for and filthy and their bones weak. They catch all kinds of disease. Why deny something that is true? Admit it so we can put it right.
A young girl should be as fit as a fiddle; she should do sport, and her muscles should be very strong. She should be athletic, with a body like that of an antelope. Her hair should be well-groomed. But first they cover her hair with a scarf. And knot it. Then they put something else on top of that. Then they stick something onto the edges of her forehead. And then something else on top of that. Then lots of pins so she resembles a hedgehog. That all stays on her head for 10 or 15 hours. What happens to her hair? It becomes all sticky and unkempt. The poor thing feels no need to take care of her hair. It may as well just stay like this, she says. Her body never gets any fresh air. You should let her wear just some fine linen. The body needs fresh sir. But they wrap her up like a mummy. So what happens to her body? It develops fungal and other kinds of infections. It never gets any Sun. "It won't do her any harm," they say. But of course it will. The body needs sunlight. She should do sport and go out in the fresh air.
"It is unacceptable for a woman to be a judge," they say. Why? Because they think they lack the brain power. Why should they not be able to be judges? What is so special about you? "No people with a woman at its head ever does any good." They say women cannot be prime ministers or heads of anything or administrators. "Women are lacking in faith and intelligence," what an ugly thing to claim! Allah creates His servants to be equal, with equal opportunities. This flies in the face of the Qur'an and the moral values and language of Rasulullah (saas). "Consult with women and ask their opinion, and then do the exact opposite of what they say." What contempt is this? You do not even despise satan as much as this. Have you gone crazy? What is this hatred? Then they turn into sex perverts. "Obeying women leads to regret," you will regret obeying them, in other words. "Let's go and see my mother," she says. But you must say, "No." "Let's have dinner," she says, "Let's not," you must say. "Whoever obeys his wife, Allah will cast him face-down into hell." In other words, whatever she says, you must reject. For example, if she says, "let's send our children to this school," you must say, "No." You must say the exact opposite. "Do not consult with women, but oppose them. Because opposing women leads to prosperity." Look, you have no respect for them at all. Whatever opinion she expresses, you have to do the exact opposite. This is cruel and immoral. Satan has declared war on these fine beings, these blessings created by Allah. That much hatred could almost lead to them ordering them to be killed. That is the only thing left. "You must leave women behind you in the same way that Allah has left them behind." Look, they are defaming Allah, too. How immoral is that? They make them walk behind and do not respect them at all. "Misfortune lies in three things, a woman, a home and a horse." They are obsessed. "Certain it is that a woman comes and goes in the form of satan." So if a woman comes or goes somewhere she will always do so with the appearance of satan. In other words, she becomes satan. May Allah bring them to their senses. "If her husband's body is covered with pus and his wife licks it clean …" Filthy, utterly disgusting. Look, "that will still not repay her debt to her husband." Allah is showing how filthy these filthy bigots are. In other words, they know how filthy and disgusting they are, and that the woman will be repelled by them, that they stink, and they act accordingly. "When a man calls his wife to meet his sexual needs, she must respond at once. Even if she is busy with the stove or the oven…" She has to obey that disgusting man's command without delay. See how they regard them as animals, as less than human and valueless. "If a woman divorces her husband, the scent of paradise is unlawful for her." Look, the bigots have sorted that out, as well. So the woman cannot flee to save her life … A precautionary measure. But divorce is lawful. Why should she have to put up with filthy types like that? "O women, if you knew the rights your husbands have over you, you would wipe the dust from their feet off on your faces." She should use her face to wipe the dust from his shoes. That is how much they despise them. "Out of 99 women, one is in paradise and the rest are in hell." Paradise is full of these horrible bigots but just 1% of women go there. "Do not teach women to write." They must not learn to read and write. "Leave women hungry, though not enough to harm them, and short of clothes, though without going to extremes. Because if women are well filled and attractively dressed, there is nothing they like more than going out. But if they are left rather hungry and unclothed, then there is nothing more auspicious than for them to stay at home." You must make them utterly wretched, in other words. The poor things must always go hungry and must never receive any clothes. It must be impossible for them to go out. They must be too tired and hungry to go out. And they have no clothes, so they cannot go out. These are not just empty words, either. The bigots literally sign up to them all. You will be amazed, but they all subscribe to this. They regard it as absolute law. Nobody who is a bigot denies it. They all say it is true and act upon it. "Woman has eight natures. She resembles the ape in terms of her eagerness to dress up." And the bigots resemble swine. Why should a woman resemble an ape? "But she is a dog in terms of not accepting poverty. She is a snake in her arrogance toward her husband and others. She resembles a scorpion in what she says day and night. She resembles a mouse for selling goods in the home. She resembles the fox in setting snares for men. And she is a sheep in her obedience to her husband." If you hate and despise them this much, then you yourself are no longer human. Look what they say about a good woman; "A good woman among women is like a rook among a hundred crows." She is still basically a crow, in other words. The best she can manage is to become a rook instead. These are not just empty words going from one person to another. Ask any bigot and he will say they are true. One of the bigots' main principles is that "The presence of five things invalidates prayer; the donkey, the pig, the Jew, the Zoroastrian and woman." Look at the connections. Disgraceful. These words are very highly regarded, let me tell you. "Things that invalidate prayer – a black dog, a donkey, a pig and a woman." That is from another bunch. "Were it not for women, all men would go to paradise," they say. They are a total nightmare, in other words … "The prayer of a clean-smelling woman is unacceptable in the Sight of Allah." If she smells of flowers or perfume, her prayers are unacceptable in the Sight of Allah, they say. Bigots utterly and totally loathe women. You can see that on Facebook.
You can see the bigots' hatred of women. People imagine this is just empty talk, but any bigot you may ask will believe it completely. Otherwise they will think he is irreligious. They have to sign up to it, in their own eyes. All bigots share that mindset. These horrible things they say on Facebook all stem from that mindset. May Allah bring them to their senses. Look what horrible things they say. These people of no character also defame both Allah and Rasulullah (saas). But in the Qur'an Almighty Allah says they are raised like flowers. And Allah spares them all kinds of work in the Qur'an. The provisions in the Qur'an are all of such a kind as to liberate women. They make life easier in all regards. They are all in women's favor. Allah loads all the difficulties onto men in the Qur'an. Some idiots say, "He always addressed me." Idiots. That is in any case a statement that protects women. It puts the responsibility onto men. Allah always places the responsibility onto men. Woman has no such responsibility, she is a blessing. Allah spares her everything. Allah spares them the responsibility of war, and everything else, so they can live at ease. The responsibility is always loaded onto men. You must look after your brother and father, He says, and your husband. Allah makes women responsible for protecting everyone.
Allah shows that women can be leaders through the Queen of Sheba, through verses. Allah shows how her people and troops obeyed her. These horrible people go round saying these things. They say the same things about Hazrat Ayesha (pbuh), Hazrat Fatima (pbuh) and Hazrat Maryam (pbuh). What horrible, vile people these are. May Allah forbid. Bad words lie with those who speak them. Then they wonder why Ataturk had such a problem with bigots. "Why did Ataturk do that?" they. What do you expect him to do? Should he tell them they were free to carrying on doing as they were? He did what needed to be done. He stopped them in their tracks. What is surprising in that?
A young girl should at least half an hour a day do sport. She needs to eat very well. You must tend your daughters like flowers, so they do not fade. They are very fragile things. They need to be shown the same care as a flower. They will fade immediately without Sun and water and proper care. One must tend them really very carefully. Upsetting them is terribly bad for them. One must always keep their spirits high. What happens if their mothers and fathers and brothers shout all the time? They will fade away entirely. They will dissolve away. They literally drive some of them crazy. Many of them take up smoking out of stress. Their complexions go wrong and their hair falls out. That is terribly sad, isn't it? Why have them, my brother, if you won't look after them? You buy a plant and look after that very well. Why have one if you won't look after have? They are very sweet, like bunny rabbits. But even rabbits need a lot of proper care. One has to keep them clean and everything.
Human beings are very fragile. Allah they are created weak. Men or women, they both have weak bodies. They are easily affected, saddened, tired or sickened. Allah creates them like that as part of the test. So we do not love this world. One suffers if one is too attached to this world. But if one is not attached, then one desires Allah. Because Almighty Allah wants it to be Himself that is loved.
Imagine, you bring a child up, but that child does not love you and goes off after other things. But you buy him or her a car, a house and pay attention to what they eat and everything. But that child takes no interest in you and does not even talk to you. What a terrible thing. They should at least be grateful. If they are not even grateful …It is the same with Almighty Allah, though He is not like human beings, of course, but He wants thanks and to be loved. Then someone says, "I will not love You. But that woman over there looks really good, I will love her." But who is she a manifestation of? Allah. It is Allah Who designs that image. In fact, He has no need of design at all, I just said that in order to clarify matters. And it is He Who creates it and makes it love. But that person forgets Him and directs all his attention elsewhere. You love her as a representation of Allah. Do what is right. Say, "O Lord, I look at this manifestation of You and love it." Allah will take her from you and hurt you if he does not see this.
People say, "It happened by chance." They eat a strawberry and say it came about by chance. They say that oranges, bananas, melons, water melons cherries and everything are all the work of chance. Human beings also emerged by chance, and squirrels and birds and butterflies… So Allah says He will put you in a place that resembles chance. Not in those words, but so you can understand. That is a feature of hell, everywhere is as if random. Fire spurts up from the ground, people are like monkeys, heads are on back to front, and some people have no faces at all. They used to talk about mutation. Allah says there was no such thing, but here it is for you now. I am saying this for clarity's sake, though Almighty Allah does not really say that. Allah shows them what mutation and chance would really mean. See what food that emerges by chance is like. There is the thorny, horrible and foul-smelling foods. Horrible food and the water is filthy and boiling. Yet here they drink sweet, fresh water. The water in hell is disgusting and boiling. That is how it should be. There is magma underneath, so what happens when water makes contact? It will boil. What happens when you put water on the stove? It boils. There is magma beneath the Earth's crust, yet fresh, ice-cool water emerges. Allah says that if you do not give thanks and believe in what I have done, I will show you what chance really is. That is what they deserve. But they still do not believe. They say, "Tell your Lord to send us a blessing." Their immorality and craziness persist even there. They never abandon it. And Allah punishes them, while easing the hearts of believers, of course, insha'Allah.
Look, the bigots say, "A Jew invalidates prayer. A donkey or a woman invalidate prayer." They have listed everything they hate. This is not normal, it is terrible insanity. Hatred of woman, what a vile thing that is! I did not realize they were actually this crazy. I knew they were insane, but not this stark-staring crazy. Craziness just pours out of them. They are like satan, totally abnormal creatures. They wonder, "Why was Ataturk opposed to the bigots?" How can you see what is going on and still fail to understand why he was against them? Just that issue of women by itself. They also hate children, and Christians and Jews, and this and that. They hate along regional and racial lines. They regard colored people and the Chinese as very inferior. One thing about bigots is that they also really regard the Turks as very bad and inferior. Idiots! You are Turks, too! Cretins. They are so stupid. They set it out in their own books. The same mindset as Darwin's. Yet the Turkish nation is a very excellent one praised by our Prophet (saas). Allah shows that in practice.
Almighty Allah has created women beautiful. Women must be loved. This bigot immorality and lack of honor must come to an end. Of course women can be in charge. They make excellent prime ministers or administrators. They are most blessed entities. They do not spoil prayer, but they honor the home. They are luminous, the jewel in the home. Women are highly intelligent and give good advice. It is good to follow a woman's advice, and it will work out well. But if a bigot walks by, of course that will annoy. Women are the finest adornments in the world, there is nothing better. They are most blessed beings. They are highly intelligent and give good advice. They benefit wherever they are, insha'Allah. Sins cease where women are present. Lawful things take their place. And the perversion and immorality of the bigots is fully revealed.
Everywhere must be fine and high-quality. We will beautify towns and villages. We will embrace Europe, Jews, Christians, masons and everyone. They will all follow Muhammad. A secular, democratic system will emerge, insha'Allah. In the true sense, insha'Allah. The age of pressure and violence will come to an end, insha'Allah.
(In response to an e-mail from a viewer saying, "You describe love of Allah so well, masha'Allah, alhamdulillah.")
Just so. For example, Almighty Allah has created you so beautifully here. You are all an image, a manifestation of Allah. Now it is the height of bad manners, ingratitude, stupidity and a violation of good conscience for someone to say, "I love you, not Allah." That image could not even exist unless Allah created it. And Who makes you love it once it has been created? Allah. To Whom does the image belong? To Allah. To Whom does our love belong? To Allah. Can one forget Allah? That is why Almighty Allah says that people are unable to properly appreciate His might. He says that human beings are cruel and ungrateful. Very few people give thanks to Allah, He says in one verse. Allah tells us to give thanks so He will multiply our blessings. Because they all belong to Him. We listen to music, for instance. No what has music got to do with this remote control? Or this metal? Allah creates music directly but uses these as His instruments. Allah lets us listen to music and dance because it will give us pleasure. Allah could have arranged it so that sound would terrify us. It is Allah Who bestows pleasure from it.

Masha'Allah. But the Qur'an is not such a complicated book. The Qur'an is very easy. What is lawful and unlawful is quite clear. Observances are described. Allah talks about faith in Him, faith being sincere, love being directed to Allah, avoiding ascribing equals to Him… Not forgetting Allah and basing one's actions around other people, in other words, relating everything to Allah, Allah being loved and feared with a sincere passion, holding Him in awe, giving thanks… Allah tells people to give thanks so He will multiply their blessings. He says that He wants the best for us, but that we must give thanks and love Him as He deserves, and that we must realize this. There are signs that Almighty Allah describes. Look and think, and you will understand Me from My signs, he says. By seeing, Almighty Allah does not mean that we will see His person, but we will see His signs.
(In response to a mail from a viewer saying, "Can a Muslim be secular?")
The Qur'an wants us to be secular. Is that not enough? The bigots may be opposed to it, but that does not matter. Forget the bigots. What does Almighty Allah say? Your religion for you, and ours for us. What does that mean? It is secularism summarized in a few words: "There is no compulsion in the religion." What is that? Secularism and democracy.
(In response to a mail from a viewer saying; "I think the Qur'an only refers to pork meat. Is pork fat also unlawful? I was wondering about that. I would not eat it though, even if it were lawful.")
Well done, Murat, because that fat is really disgusting, may Allah forbid. One should not eat it even if it were the last fat in the world. It is really horrible. Now look, when it says that pork meat is unlawful, some people imagine that pork fat must be lawful. But more than half of pork fat is obtained from pork meat. So at least 50% of it is unacceptable. Pork means pork products in general. Insha'Allah.

For the beginner, indoor gardening can yield year-round plants if the gardener is equipped with the right tools and information. Depending upon your climate, most of the outdoor gardening season lasts through the spring and summer. By gardening indoors, plants can grow all year without worry of temperature changes or harsh conditions. Indoor gardening requires less of a financial and time commitment, and allows beginner gardeners to ease into the hobby. Natural edging in a garden usually means avoiding the use of artificial edging materials such as plastic, metal or paving. You may also want to avoid arranging the edging in right angles and straight lines. It's important to consider how you can create natural edging for your flowerbeds whilst still making it easy to trim your lawn right to the edges, and keeping your garden looking tidy. (hunker.com ).

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (17-25, 2-10 SSC) dropped its Sunshine State Conference doubleheader to the Nova Southeastern University Sharks, Sunday afternoon from University Softball Field. Saint Leo fell by the score of 4-3 in opener, before succumbing to the Sharks, 7-0, in game two.
A three-run home run off the bat of Laura Saladrigas highlighted the Sharks come-from-behind win in the opener, before holding Lions' hitters to just three hits in game two.
Saint Leo compiled six hits on the afternoon, including a pair of multiple-hit performances from Alex Garris and Brittany Yates. Yates also led the team in RBI with two. Rachelle Gremo and McKenzie Burns also etched their names into the scorebook as they recorded the Lions other two base hits.
Finding themselves down 1-0 after NSU's first at-bats, the Lions rallied to take the lead in the bottom of the first inning as Yates stroked an RBI single up the middle scoring Burns from second. Two batters later, Gremo gave the Lions the advantage as she roped the squad's second RBI single of the inning back through the middle.
Lions' starter Megan Still kept Sharks' hitters at bay over the next three frames, but Laura Saladrigas gave NSU the lead for good in the top of the fifth as she connected on a three-run home run over the leftfield fence to give the visiting Sharks a 4-2 lead.
Saint Leo got one run closer in the fifth inning as a Yates' bases loaded groundout brought home Angela Kafalas. Unfortunately, Saint Leo couldn't add to their score any further as Sharks' hurler Sara DeMuth retired the next two batters of the inning en route to her 18th win of the season.
Megan Still (7-15) was tagged with the loss for Saint Leo as she struck out a pair in 4.2 innings. Ashley Ehlers was excellent in relief as she went 2.1 innings of hitless ball, while striking out three.
NSU replicated their start in game two as they scored one run in the top of the first inning.
The Sharks continued their aggressive swinging throughout the duration as they padded their lead with a three-run third inning, in addition to a trio of runs scored across the sixth and seventh innings.
The Lions mounted one last comeback attempt in the sixth inning, but back-to-back singles by Garris and Yates went for not as the duo was stranded on base.
Kristen Kelly (4-7) collected the loss for SLU, while Sharks' starter Saladrigas ran her record to 6-4 with the win.
The Lions will return to the field on Tuesday, April 3, when they host in-region opponent Flagler College. First pitch for the doubleheader is scheduled for 5 p.m. from University Softball Stadium.

ORANGE CITY - A high school janitor is out on bond after admitting to investigators that he had sex with a student, officials said.
Juan Davila Granada, 24, told investigators he met the 17-year-old University High School student on the website Tagged.com, which promotes itself as helping users "Meet new people, make new friends, and maybe even find love."
The report states the two began to text at night while Granada was working as a school janitor. For weeks, they tried to set up a sexual encounter and finally had sex at her house "while her parents were asleep," according to the report.
The teen tried to hide the encounter from her parents, but finally told investigators, "I had a sexual relationship with Juan but at the time I believed he was 18 years old," the report said.
Granada told Local 6 he thought she was 18. But some people don't buy his claims.
"It doesn't matter. It's somebody in high school," said Paulina Hernandez, whose younger sister recently graduated from UHS in Orange City.
The teen told investigators the sex was mutual, but the law says otherwise. Granada is 24. She is 17. And he knew she was a student at the school.
Granada denied the allegations to Local 6's Shaun Chaiyabhat and said, "Everything will be clarified and it's still going under investigation... Everything will clear up."
The report said Granada has fully cooperated with investigators.
Volusia County Schools spokeswoman Nancy Wait said Granada resigned the day the principal found out about the sexual encounter and confronted him. It's still unclear how the principal learned about the janitor's actions. Wait went on to say, as soon as the school found out, officials called the sheriff's office, the girl's parents, and the Department of Children and Families, which is also investigating the case.

With Eli Manning in MVP form, Giants beat Patriots for 2nd Super Bowl in 4 years
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Tom Brady let his final pass fly toward the scrum of players in the end zone, hoping for an incredible finish.
Uh-uh, Tom. Not in this city, and not in this game.
Indianapolis is a Manning town, whether it's Peyton or Eli pulling out the wins. And the Super Bowl is suddenly the province of the New York Giants, who have figured out how to topple Brady and the New England Patriots in the biggest moments.
Eli Manning led another fourth-quarter touchdown drive and won his second Super Bowl MVP on Sunday night, leading the Giants to a 21-17 victory that provided a pulsating finish to an NFL season that started with turmoil and a lockout.
"It's been a wild game," said Manning, who now has one more Super Bowl title than his older brother. "It's been a wild season,"
Wash. home fire kills Josh Powell, husband of missing Utah woman, 2 young sons
GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) -- Josh Powell's note was simple and short, a farewell to the world after two years of being scrutinized in the media, hammered by police and questioned by judges, prosecutors and social workers, living his life under a microscope since the day his wife vanished.
"I'm sorry, goodbye," Powell wrote in an email to his attorney just minutes before authorities say he set fire to his home, killing himself and his two young sons days after he was denied custody and ordered to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation.
The Sunday blaze at Powell's home brought yet another twist in the very public scandal that began when Susan Powell vanished in 2009. The case had since spiraled into a salacious saga of finger-pointing and accusations of sex and lies -- and now the unthinkable loss of two young lives caught in the crossfire.
A social worker brought the two boys to Josh Powell's home Sunday for what was to be a supervised visit. They rushed toward the home, leaving the social worker behind. By the time she got to the door, Powell had let his sons in but locked her out, Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz told The Associated Press.
The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas. Moments later, the home burst into flames, igniting an inferno that neighbors said rattled their houses.
Proposed Pentagon cuts a test for many lawmakers: Are you a defense hawk or a deficit hawk?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lawmakers who came to Washington demanding budget cuts face a tough test now that President Barack Obama and military leaders want to shrink the force, shut down bases and cancel weapons to achieve them.
A new national security strategy reflecting an end to decade-long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan offers the opportunity to reduce defense spending and government deficits by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10 years -- but at a cost of thousands of jobs in lawmakers' states and districts.
Democrats as well as Republicans are resisting, looking to protect home turf from California, where the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft is built, to Wisconsin, home to speedy Littoral combat ships, to military installations all across the country.
"It's funny that we want to save money everywhere except when it can bother us," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview. Graham is a member of the Armed Services Committee and one of the few lawmakers who favors another round of domestic base closings.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently outlined a $525 billion budget for next year that's $6 billion less than the current level. The proposal is the first step in the deficit-cutting plan that Obama and congressional Republicans agreed to last summer that calls for a reduction in projected defense spending of $487 billion over 10 years.
Welcome to the club: With gaffe about the poor, Romney joins the wait-let-me-explain crowd
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney's remark that he's not worried about the very poor, the latest gaffe in a campaign rich with blunders, joins a long list of wait-let-me-explain episodes in presidential election history.
It's been a banner year for campaign misfires: Rick Perry had his "oops" moment when he forgot one of the three government departments he wanted to eliminate. Herman Cain only made things worse after he fumbled a question about Libya when he explained that he had "all this stuff twirling around in my head." Michelle Bachmann launched her campaign with a cringe-worthy misfire, declaring that both she and actor John Wayne had lived in Waterloo, Iowa, when it was actually serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. who'd lived there.
Will any of those sour notes still be ringing in the ears beyond November's ballots and confetti?
There's stiff competition in the pantheon of campaign misfires: Think of Howard Dean's primal scream in Iowa during the 2004 primary. Vice President Al Gore's overwrought sighs when debating George W. Bush in 2000. Vice President Dan Quayle's botched spelling of potato in 1992. And, way back at the dawn of televised presidential debates, Richard Nixon's profuse sweating on stage with cool-as-a-cucumber rival John Kennedy in 1960.

BEIRUT (AP) -- Government forces shelled the central Syrian city of Homs on Monday, striking a makeshift medical clinic and residential areas and killing at least 17 people in the third day of a new assault on the epicenter of the country's uprising, activists said.
The government denied shelling the city, however, and said "armed terrorist groups" were attacking civilians and police in several neighborhoods. The state-run news agency also said Monday that gunmen killed three soldiers and captured others at a checkpoint in the Jabal al-Zawiyah region of Idlib province, which borders Turkey.
Syria has blocked access to trouble spots in the country and prevented independent reporting, making it nearly impossible to verify accounts from either side as the conflict spirals out of control and turns increasingly violent.
Homs, which many refer to as "the capital of the Syrian revolution," has become a flashpoint of the nearly 11-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad. Several neighborhoods in the city, such as Baba Amr, are under the control of rebels.
On Saturday, Syrian forces killed up to 200 people in Homs -- the highest death toll reported for a single day in the uprising -- according to several rights groups. There was no way to independently confirm the toll.
Too many kids exposed to secondhand smoke in cars; more restrictions needed, CDC study says
CHICAGO (AP) -- Texting while driving, speeding and back-seat hanky-panky aren't all that parents need to worry about when their kids are in cars: Add secondhand smoke to the list.
In the first national estimate of its kind, a report from government researchers says more than 1 in 5 high school students and middle schoolers ride in cars while others are smoking.
This kind of secondhand smoke exposure has been linked with breathing problems and allergy symptoms, and more restrictions are needed to prevent it, the report says.
With widespread crackdowns on smoking in public, private places including homes and cars are where people encounter secondhand smoke these days. Anti-smoking advocates have zeroed in on cars because of research showing they're potentially more dangerous than smoke-filled bars and other less confined areas.
The research, from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was released online Monday in Pediatrics.
Mushroom pickers rescued in Ore. forest thought they were going to die, considered eating dog
GOLD BEACH, Ore. (AP) -- Dan Conne says he and his wife and son thought they were going to die after getting lost while picking mushrooms and spending nearly a week in the rugged forest of southwest Oregon.
They spent the nights huddled in a hollow log and considered sacrificing their pit bull, Jesse, for food.
"She's that good a dog, she'd have done it, too," Conne said.
But help finally arrived Saturday when a volunteer helicopter pilot decided to look outside the search area and spotted the family -- Dan, his wife, Belinda, and their 25-year-old son, Michael -- on the edge of a deep ravine in tall timber. The three were about 10 miles from the town of Gold Beach, roughly 330 miles south-southwest of Portland.
"The searchers were with us within 20 minutes of the first copter that found us," Dan Conne told The Associated Press. "There must have been nine or 10 of them. They just kept coming out of that brush.
In breakthrough for reconciliation, Palestinian rivals choose Abbas to head unity government
DOHA, Qatar (AP) -- The main Palestinian political rivals took a major step Monday toward healing their bitter rift, agreeing that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas would head an interim unity government to prepare for general elections in the West Bank and Gaza.
The agreement, brokered by Qatar, was signed by Abbas and Khaled Mashaal, chief of the Islamic militant Hamas.
Both leaders said they are serious about moving forward.
"We promise our people to implement this agreement as soon as possible," Abbas said.
"We inform our people that we are serious about healing the wounds ... to reunite our people on the foundation of a political partnership, in order to devote our effort to resisting the (Israeli) occupation," added Mashaal.
Indonesia to swat train roof riders with putrid goop -- if they can dodge killer concrete balls
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesia has come up with another bizarre plan to keep commuters from riding on the roofs of trains: Swat them with brooms drenched in putrid goop.
"For anyone who is still up there, it'll be like a whip," said Ahmad Sujadi, of the state-run railway, PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The contraptions will be installed at select crossings Monday.
Indonesia has tried just about everything to keep passengers from clamoring to the roofs of trains that crisscross its main island of Java, spraying them with paint guns, calling in sniffer dogs, and asking for help from Muslim clerics.
But it wasn't until last month that one of their tactics actually worked.
In a few places along the track, grapefruit-sized concrete balls have been suspended on chains from a frame that looks like a soccer goal. "Rail surfers," realizing they could be knocked in the head or even killed, quickly called it quits.
Finger malfunction? Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show upstaged by M.I.A. middle finger
The NFL and a major television network are apologizing for another Super Bowl halftime show.
There was no wardrobe malfunction, nothing like that glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple eight years ago that caused an uproar and a government scrutiny. Instead, it was an extended middle finger from British singer M.I.A. during Sunday night's performance of Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin.'"
In front of some 110 million viewers on NBC and uncounted others online, she flipped the bird and appeared to sing, "I don't give a (expletive)" at one point, though it was hard to hear her clearly.
The NFL and NBC wasted little time in responding.
"The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing and we apologize to our fans," said Brian McCarthy, spokesman for the NFL, which produced Madonna's halftime show.

Manuel gets hook as frustration with bats grows
Phillies score four, but drop third straight as bullpen takes another loss
PHILADELPHIA -- Charlie Manuel was ejected, getting the thumb from third-base umpire Dan Iassogna. The argument was about a play in the ninth inning of the Phillies' 6-4 loss to the Pirates on Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, a play in which batter Clint Barmes bunted and then appeared to interfere with catcher Erik Kratz' attempt to throw to second base.
Really, though, it was about the fact that, once again, the Phillies didn't hit. The Phillies' manager is an unabashed hitting guy, and he's had a hard time keeping a lid on his frustration lately.
The Phillies have scored three or fewer runs in 11 of their past 14 games, including three shutouts. Even though they exceeded that Thursday, they're averaging just 2.71 runs per game in that span, the fewest in the National League.
In the series finale against the Pirates, they went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
Which is why they dropped their third straight to Pittsburgh, even though Cole Hamels, Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee were the starting pitchers. According to research, it's the 18th time the three aces have pitched in a row for the Phillies. It's the first time the club lost all three games.
Manuel has changed leadoff hitters, from Ben Revere to Jimmy Rollins. On Wednesday, he batted Michael Young third, splitting up left-handed hitters Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Thursday, he didn't start Ben Revere in center for the first time this season.
And the Phillies still fell to a season-worst five games under .500.
"I've been trying to do everything I possibly can. Everybody's getting a chance to play," Manuel said. "Believe me, we're trying. But at the same time, we're not getting it done. We definitely have to hit better. We have to score more runs. Our guys know that. We're just in a period right now where we're not playing good at all. We're just not playing good baseball and we're also having things not go our way. I always talk about the luck involved and everything that goes into play. And right now, we're in kind of a bad turmoil, or whatever you want to call it."
The Phillies had a lead twice. Twice the Pirates came back to tie the score before breaking it open in the eighth.
"We had a one-run lead. Then Gaby Sanchez hits the home run [in the sixth]," Lee said. "We come back and regain the lead, put up two runs there in the sixth, and then they tied it back up. I've got to do a better job of keeping us in the lead right there. That was a big inning for our offense to be able to do that, and I don't feel good about allowing them to re-tie the game right there."
Lee walked Pirates leadoff hitter Starling Marte with one out in the seventh. With two out, Andrew McCutchen singled to put runners on first and second. And then it happened.
"I felt like I made some decent pitches," Lee said. "To [Sanchez], a fastball in. I think I broke his bat. He got a hit right there. [Michael] McKenry, I had him 0-2. I felt like I made a perfect pitch. Another broken bat for a hit. There's really not a whole lot I can do there. But I've got to do a better job of keeping myself from getting in those situations where a hit or two can get them back in the game.
"I'm not really happy about that, especially about walking Marte after getting one out and nobody on. He's fast. I've got to do a better job of making him swing his way on base. After that, I felt like I made decent pitches. Things just went their way that inning."
Between Sanchez and McKenry, Manuel visited the mound, but said later he had no intention of taking Lee out of the game, in part because he wanted to stay away from relievers Mike Adams, Antonio Bastardo and Jeremy Horst, all of whom pitched Wednesday night.
Still, the score was tied until the Pirates batted around against Phillippe Aumont and Chad Durbin in the eighth.
With one out, Aumont hit Barmes with a pitch. Travis Snider and Marte singled to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Garrett Jones doubled off the base of the wall in right to drive in the two runs that put Pittsburgh up for good; a Sanchez sacrifice fly tacked on an insurance run before the inning was over.
"I look at it as that I made one bad pitch," Aumont said. "I got it over the plate, and he got a hold of it. I got a couple ground balls that found a hole. That's just the way it goes."
The 6-foot-7 right-hander has dominant stuff, but at times has been hurt by lack of command.
Said Manuel: "I think you see when he's good, and then you get to see him when he struggles at times. When he hit the guy, that kind of opened things up. But he's got all the potential in the world. He's big, he's strong, he can throw 96 mph. He needs experience and he needs command. And when I talk about growing pains, that's what you're going to see out of him for a while. He's going to have those growing pains until he feels totally relaxed and confident and pitches up to his potential. And when he does, he's going to be very good."
In the meantime, the manager is just hoping that his team will start scoring more runs. That would solve a lot of the problems the Phillies are going through at the moment.

Choosing a Physics Career - Self Assessment
Is Physics Right for You?
Self-assessment is a common tool employed by career counselors to help anyone at any career stage. If you are thinking about becoming a physics major, or going to graduate school, but aren't 100% sure about whether or not either is good for you, a self-assessment can help you decide.
Where to Start
Ask Yourself
Begin assessing your physics temperament by asking yourself these simple questions:
- Are you curious about how the universe works?
- Would you like to discover new things?
- Do you like to solve problems?
- Do you like to figure out new technologies?
- Do you like using math for practical things?
- Are you interested in acquiring skills that apply to many career fields?
Ask a Counselor
If these simple questions spark your interest in physics, the next step is to speak to a career counselor, who can facilitate your assessment of your career interests. You may also want to speak with a physics teacher/professor at your school/college.
Personality Assessments
As the name suggests, you can do a lot of self-assessment on your own. Many online personality tests offer free versions of their assessments. These tools only provide a general overview of your work and learning styles but they can be interesting and helpful if you've never done one before.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"
"My fiance and I fell in love with these invitations because of the beautiful trees. The invitation was simple, yet perfect to describe to our guests the feel of our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully. I gave the Design 4 stars only because there isn't room to add much else - so the wording you see is really all that will fit (which in reality, is probably a good thing so that the invitation doesn't get too cluttered.)"
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."
"We just received our invitations and they are beautiful. The actual invites look even better in person. We loved the purple color, but chose the oranges to fit into our fall winery theme, which it did perfectly. The cards are beautiful and we are so happy with our choice!"

Atmosphere at Pittsburgh zoo somber after boy's death
Visitors to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium paused silently throughout the day Tuesday at a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles, stuffed toys and a toy truck honoring the Whitehall boy who died in the African painted dog exhibit Sunday.
"I think we're all struggling with the enormity of it," said Janice Brusoski, 45, of Bethel Park, as she and her three sons stood by the memorial at the closed outdoor exhibit. "This has always been a place of safety and learning."
The zoo reopened to visitors Tuesday, two days after Maddox Derkosh, 2, fell from a railing at an observation deck and into the exhibit, where he was mauled to death by several of the 11 dogs inside.
Pittsburgh homicide detectives said they continue to investigate and still have not interviewed the boy's mother, Elizabeth Derkosh, 34. Police said Elizabeth Derkosh lifted her son up to allow him to stand on a wooden railing in the viewing gazebo, moments before he fell forward through the opening, bounced off a safety net below and landed in the open yard of the exhibit.
"What happened? Where's the baby?" Junhong Park, 6, asked his mother, Namhee Kim, 36, of Aspinwall, who replied, "He's in heaven."
Some visitors who strolled through the park Tuesday said they already had planned to visit because their children had no school because of Election Day.
Zoo spokeswoman Tracy Gray said she believed attendance was what it would be on a "normal November Tuesday," at nearly 420 visitors.
The painted dogs exhibit will remain closed until spring; the 10 surviving dogs are quarantined for a month. Pittsburgh police fatally shot one dog as officers when it refused to obey keepers' calls to go inside and authorities needed to rescue the boy.
"Mommy, I'm very sad," Madison Bunyenyezi, 6, of Shaler said as she leaned against her mother, Lauren Bunyenyezi, 29. The pair stood at another nearby observation deck overlooking part of the empty African dog exhibit.
"It's not like your life stops," Bunyenyezi said. "You just keep moving forward. You have to let your kids know that sometimes bad things happen."
Julie Bosley, 37, of Ellwood City brought her son Briley, 8, to the zoo to celebrate a visit to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in which doctors said he remains free of neuroblastoma, a nerve cancer, after seven years.
While Bosley said her son didn't quite understand everything that happened Sunday, he said a couple times during the visit that he "didn't want to fall in."
In lieu of flowers, the Derkosh family is asking people who attend the funeral to bring a toy construction truck to be donated to a children's Christmas charity.
Visitation is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at William Slater II Funeral Service, 1650 Greentree Rd., Scott. A funeral Mass will be celebrated 10 a.m. Friday at St. Bernard Church, 311 Washington Road, Mt. Lebanon.

From the Rangers:
December 23, 2009 – New York Rangers 4, Florida Panthers 1 (Game #37, Home #18)
The Rangers defeated the Florida Panthers, 4-1, to extend their winning streak to four games; this is the longest winning-streak for the Blueshirts since their seven-game winning-streak from Oct. 3 vs. Ottawa to Oct. 17 at Toronto.
The Blueshirts are now 18-16-3 (39 pts.) on the season, including an 8-9-1 mark at home; this marks the Rangers first victory at MSG since Nov. 23.
The Rangers killed off all four Florida power play opportunities and have now killed off 20 out of the last 21 penalties for a 95.2% success rate over the last five games.
Vinny Prospal tallied two goals, including the game-winner on the power play, for his sixth multi-point performance on the season; he now has three points (two goals and one assist) in the last two games.
Chris Drury notched one goal and one short-handed assist in 19:15 of icetime; he has recorded four points (three goals and one assist) in the last four games.
Marian Gaborik recorded a shorthanded goal and one assist along with a game-high seven shots; Gaborik's tally is the fourth shorthanded goal of the season for the Blueshirts.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 33 of 34 shots, including 15 in the second period; he has now held opponents to two or fewer goals in nine of his last 10 games.
Ryan Callahan notched one assist and delivered a game-high five hits in 17:36 of icetime; he has tallied six points (two goals and four assists) in the last four games.

Prior to Saturday's game, the Rangers pre-game skate is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the MSG Training Center.
John Tortorella on tonight's game… "We are again trying to find a way to win at home. I thought everybody contributed. Hank (Henrik Lundqvist) contributed when he had to. Our fourth line contributed. These games, before you break, you don't want them to think it is Christmas too early. I thought we played well and we deserved to win the hockey game."
Vinny Prospal on tonight's game… "Hopefully it is starting to turn around for us. We have been able to put together the second longest winning streak since the beginning of the season. It doesn't matter that the Christmas break comes now, we want to prolong this thing."
Ryan Callahan on tonight's game… "We are coming into this with confidence obviously with three big wins on the road. We weren't happy what we showed last time we were here. We came in wanting to prove something and with the confidence from three road wins."

How can I reclaim my identity and prevent further fraud?
Dear James,
I have discovered that I am a victim of fraud. Someone has been using my personal details as well as my bank card details to order items from catalogues and also sign up to mobile phone contracts. Fortunately, I received letters in the post confirming these orders. I then cancelled all orders and no money was taken from my accounts. I will close my bank account and open a new one. Is there anything else I need to do?
Shah, London
Dear Shah,
While it appears that you've successfully foiled these applications, it is quite possible that this is just the tip of the iceberg. The steps you have taken so far are very sensible, along with your plan to alert your bank and change your banking details. What you should now do is obtain copies of your credit reports from each of the three credit reference agencies. This will enable you to check the full extent of the impersonation. I'm pleased to say that all three credit reference agencies work together to help victims of identity fraud, so you only need to initially contact one of them about the fraud. If you wish to contact Experian, simply call us on 0344 481 8000. Whichever agency you contact will alert the other two agencies for you. Each agency will provide you with a free credit report, give you advice on its contents and explain the measures you may be able to take to secure your identity. For instance, it might be wise to arrange a Cifas Protective Registration, which will alert the vast majority of banks, lenders and other financial institutions to the theft of your identity. Once you've shored up your identity, if you decide you want to monitor you credit report for fraud going forwards you may wish to check out Experian's CreditExpert service.

On the front lines of sexual assault in the military: Army chaplains
By Anna Mulrine
Inside a classroom at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, a group of some 40 Army chaplains are wrestling with what they just heard.
They are focused on an overhead projection of congressional testimony from a former US Army sergeant allegedly raped by a fellow soldier. When she sought out a military pastor, she said the chaplain suggested the rape must have been God's will and that she should go to church more often.
A firestorm of discussion ensues. What chaplain could have said such a thing? How should he have counseled her? What if a chaplain disagrees with how a victim is living her life? What if he simply doesn't believe her?
The debate is a portrait in real time of how one of the Pentagon's most important tools in its fight against sexual abuse – the Army chaplain program – is learning to cope with rising reports of sexual assault as well as new responsibilities.
Last year, an Air Force study – the most comprehensive survey yet conducted by the military – found that 1 in 5 female airmen says she has been sexually assaulted since joining up. The report was seen as a key motivation behind an unprecedented push by the Pentagon to address sexual abuse in all service branches.
Last week, three Air Force Academy cadets in Colorado were charged with unrelated sexual assaults on female cadets only weeks after the academy released a report showing an increase in abuse from the previous year.
In the effort to combat sexual abuse, chaplains are indispensable. Fewer than 1 in 6 sexual assaults among US troops is reported, according to estimates. For this reason, chaplains are often the first responders. Two years ago, Army chaplains became bound by confidentiality for the first time (other service chaplains have long been bound by it), expanding the scope of their ministry to the sexually abused.

SAINT LEO, Fla. –Saint Leo senior left-handed pitcher Rick Teasley became the second Lions player taken in day three of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Saturday afternoon.
Just three rounds following the Seattle Mariners' selection of catcher Daniel Torres, the Tampa Bay Rays picked Teasley with their 23rd round pick.
"It still feels surreal," Teasley said. "All I've ever wanted was to get this chance, and the fact that it just happened hasn't sunk in yet. I just can't wait to get on a plane and pitch."
Teasley has been the ace of the Saint Leo pitching staff for the past two seasons after joining the Lions in his sophomore season by way of Northwood University. This season Teasley finished with a team-high 86.2 innings pitched with an ERA of 3.63.
Teasley, a native of Port St. Lucie, Fla., tallied a team-high 73 strikeouts en route to being named a Sunshine State Conference Honorable Mention selection.
Teasley and Torres are the first two draft picks for Saint Leo since 2008.
Thanks to the Rays organization for giving me this chance, and thanks to everyone for the love today. Biggest day of my life. #RaysBaseball— Rick Teasley (@ItAintEasy37) June 8, 2013

Hi, I'm fairly new to this board though I've been Q'ing for quite a while. I bought a Chargriller with the offset firebox about 5-6 years ago. After I got my Dave Klose rig, I removed the firebox from the Chargriller and used it for grilling with charcoal (the Klose is excellent for smoking but not that great for grilling).
I've seen a number of Chargriller post here lately, so I'm hoping someone can answer my question: Can individual parts be bought for a Chagriller?
During my spring overhaul/rebuild of my smokers/grills (yes I have more than the two mwntioned above), The adjustable charcaol tray gave up the ghost. I bought a generic replacement, but this isn't doing the job. I really like that feature of the Chargriller and would like to replace it with one made for it.

Daily Prayer 2004-12-04
Listen to podcast version here.
December 4, 2004Saturday of the First Week of Advent
Father John Doyle, LCMatthew 9:3510:1, 5a, 6-8Jesus went around to
all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming
the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and
illness. At the sight of the crowds his heart was
moved with pity for them because they were troubled and
abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to
his disciples, The harvest is abundant but the laborers are
few; so ask the the master of the harvest to
send out laborers for his harvest. Then he summonded his
twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to
drive them out and to cure every disease and evey
illness. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instucting them thus,
Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, make this proclamation: the kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without
cost you are to give.Introductory Prayer:Lord Jesus, just as you
sent out your first apostles to preach your Kingdom and
do good to all, please fill me with your grace
to fulfill my mission of being an authentic witness to
you before others. Holy Mary, accompany me in this mediation.Petition:Holy
Spirit unite me to Jesus, the vine, so that I
will bear much fruit.1. The Heart of Christ. His heart
was moved with pity for them because they were troubled
and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus is our
creator and our redeemer. He knows even our innermost desires.
He knows that what we seek is his friendship whether
we realize it or not. We seek his healing and
love. He looks upon me with great love because he
wants me to be holy and truly happy. He wants
to cure me of my diseases and illnesses, especially those
of the spirit: pride, vanity and selfishness.2. Pray to the
Lord of the Harvest. The harvest is abundant but the
laborers are few. There are so many souls in need
of healing and so few to help Our Lord with
this great mission of building his Kingdom and saving souls.
Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out
laborers to the harvest. Christ is calling me to help
him in this mission. I cannot be indifferent to the
cries of my brothers and sisters who do not know
the truth and who have not experienced Gods awesome love.
I must be convinced that Jesus is the only answer
for their yearnings. Do I pray often to the Lord
of the harvest? Do I realize that I am also
called to be a laborer in the Lords harvest?3. Go
to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Jesus
sends me out and I feel weak and helpless. Can
I heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and
drive out demons? Isnt there someone else, Lord? No. Christ
calls you for the same reason he called the first
apostles, namely because he chooses the weak to show that
he is in charge. Apart from the vine you can
do nothing. But united to him, you will bear much
fruit. Trust in him especially when you feel your own
weakness and incapability. For, as the apostle St Paul, reminds
us, There is nothing I cannot do in him who
strengthens me, and It is when I am weak that
I am strong. Dialogue with Christ: Oh Lord Jesus,
I do not feel worthy or up to the task
of being your apostle. Please help me to unite myself
to you, the true vine, each time I receive you
in the Eucharist, so that united to you, I will
be faithful to my mission of building your Kingdom.Resolution: I
will go before the Blessed Sacrament today, intensifying my union
and friendship with my Risen Lord, and ask him to
send more holy priestly vocations for his Church.Want to help

George nets 1,000th point as UF women beat Pacific
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 12:11 a.m.
Senior Jennifer George scored her 1,000th career point and the Florida women's basketball team used a balanced attack Friday and made its free throws in the final minute to defeat Pacific, 89-82, in the O'Connell Center.
Florida (7-3) took down a Pacific team that had arrived in Gainesville as one of 17 undefeated NCAA Division I teams in the country, but an evenly distributed offense and persistent defensive pressure by the Gators from the start was too much for Pacific to overcome. The Gators, however did need all 40 minutes to post their 11th consecutive home win, as well as their 12th straight home win versus non-conference opponents.
The teams remained close early, as both sides fought hard on each possession, until George and a fast-paced Gator offense jumped out front and gave Florida a 43-29 advantage at the break.
The Tigers (7-1) showed why they had won seven consecutive games to start the season, as they battled back from a 21-point deficit with 6:15 remaining and trimmed Florida's lead to five, 81-76, with 1:53 seconds remaining.
Freshman Sydney Moss found George inside and she converted the bucket to stop a four-point run by Pacific, as Kendall Kenyon missed a layup on the Tiger's ensuing offensive possession and Pacific sent the Gators to the free throw line for the final 1:14 of the game.
Florida came through by sinking 6-of-14, including a 4-for-6 effort from junior Jaterra Bonds, during the last 74 seconds, as the Tigers continued to battle until the final horn.
"A really good win," UF coach Amanda Butler said. "I think that team is a postseason team for sure. I have a lot of respect for them. This is the team that came in here undefeated but I think that they will leave here and continue to do good things.
"We had a lot of toughness in our win. We fought through some things and we overcame the fact that we missed way too many free throws and turned the ball too many times, but we did that with our toughness and really made stops and making plays in the most important points of the ball game."
With 22 seconds remaining in the game, George sank one free throw, which was her 1,000th-career point and more importantly gave Florida an 87-80 lead. That make helped the Gator's lone senior become the 21st player in program history to reach the scoring milestone. George is the first Gator to join the 1,000-point club since Marshae Dotson netted her 1,000th on Feb. 10, 2008.
George finished the game with 17 points and 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the season and the 21st of her career. She also tied her career-high of five steals.
Bonds scored a game-high 20 points, hitting 12-of-15 free throws an effort that tied for the fourth-most made free throws in a game in program history.
The Gators now take a nine-day break for final exams before returning to competition on Dec. 16, when they visit LaSalle in Philadelphia, Pa., where tip-off from Tom Gola Arena is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Those who are unbelivers say to those who have faith, 'Follow our way and we will bear the weight of your mistakes.' They will not bear the weight of a single one of their mistakes. Truly they are liars. They will bear their own burdens and other burdens together with their own. On the Day of Rising they will be questioned about what they invented. (Surat Al-Ankabut, 12-13)
Meaning; at the moment there are people with the mentality that states; 'do not make any mention of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) or of the Unity of Islam, just perform your prayers, if there is something missing, if there is sin in that, just tell it to us, the weight of that would be upon us.'
Instead of Allah you worship only idols. You are inventing a lie. (Surat Al-Ankabut, 17)
So He says; "you have found some scholars preaching superstitions. You constantly invent superstitions and you abide by those superstitions, you invent lies from your own mind, that are unfounded, that are not compliant with the Qur'an." Look, what does Allah say in the verse? This is what the retrogressive, bigot gang has been doing. When I say retrogressive, the knowledge coming from the past is valuable but the retrogressive people ascribe the truth to the idol thinking, not to the Qur'an. I mean they do not ascribe the truth to the knowledge from the past, to the ways of the Qur'an, the beauties of the Qur'an coming from the past but to the ugliness of the idols.2011-09-03 10:56:09
