Hello from your friendly neighbour, the ComicBook Imperative Guy! Just a few week's from one of Doctor Who's most intriguing episodes and I am still thrilled about it! Extremis was truly one of the best episodes in recent years! I have to admit that I am still excited with the way they handled all the information, as well as the way they introduced the looming danger that was quickly marching towards planet Earth, the Doctor and his companions.
The 10th season of the BBC science fiction series has been an absolute hit so far, giving us a brilliant Peter Capaldi (finally, getting stories and scripts that are up to his talent) and a new companion, Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) that is simply amazing! Bill reminds me a lot of Rose Tyler (Billie Piper). She is an everyday girl, she has to face all the issues people in her age have to face (college, job, love and social life etc) and she gets the chance to see the stars and the universe alongside the Doctor himself. The fact that Bill is gay is stripping her relationship with the Doctor from every hint of romance and focuses on a teacher-student relationship that is really engaging. Overall, season 10 has been an absolute favourite of mine thus far (competing with seasons 2, 4, 5 and 6).
Extremis, though, was a stand out. The official synopsis was: In the Haereticum – the Vatican's secret library of blasphemy – there is an ancient book known only as The Veritas. Throughout history, anyone who has ever read it has immediately taken their own life. Now a new translation is online, and the danger is spreading. The Vatican appeals to the Doctor. Will he read The Veritas? But can even the Doctor survive the ultimate truth? And what truth that was. Penned by Steven Moffat, the master of the asynchronous storylines, we have a scenario where reality is nothing but a computer simulation of an advanced alien race, making their war plans in order to find the right time to conquer earth. People that find out the truth about the reality of their existence find the only way out possible: by taking their own lives. The episode was only the introduction of a three-part story that is going to be a fan-favorite for years.
Even though the episode itself is brilliant and there so many things that one could focus on, I decided to write about the core premise of the episode: that is the life in a computer simulation and what that implies about the status of the people inside this simulation. Firstly, it is important to take a look at the reality of this idea. Are we living in a computer simulation? This is a question posed by Nick Bostrom (as well as other philosophers and scientists). In one of his articles his proposes that one the following statements have to be true: "[t]his paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a "posthuman" stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation," (Nick Bostrom, "Are You Living in a Computer Simulation," in Philosophical Quarterly, Vol. 53, No. 211 (2003): 243‐255). The Simulation Hypothesis has been around for years and, as Bostrom noted, the core idea is that reality is nothing but a mere simulation that is so convincing that even the people that experience it cannot tell the difference between actuality and simulation.
One of the main issues that arise from a simulated reality is the fact that we might end up with an infinite amount of simulated realities (simulation in a simulation). As long as people do not realise that they are living in a computer simulation, they could end up at the same place as their predecessors of sorts, that is wanting to create the simulation for various reasons (for example to study the trajectory of their evolutionary process or even just for entertainment reasons – most of us are probably familiar with the PC game The Sims, where we could simulate everyday life and activities by controlling our Sim[s]).
I find that it would be interesting to also raise the unavoidable determinism of the simulation hypothesis and how that affects the people living inside it. It seems almost impossible for us to fathom a scenario where every single aspect of our existence is predetermined by a computer programme. Living in a simulated world resembles the various deterministic philosophical and scientific theories. The deterministic aspect of the simulated world stem from the fact that some kind of a super-intelligent AI or a posthuman being created and facilitated the conditions of its existence down to the very last detail. This is an absolute kind of determinism that seems even more tangible than some form of a naturalistic determinism.
What would happen, though, if/when people realised the most well-kept secret in the world is the fact that their very life was just a simulation? Every feeling, every thought, you, the people you love, your life's work everything is nothing more than just a simulation that someone else runs. And you have no way to access the true information about your existence. Having the experience of creating avatars, sims, or personas online and how quickly one could make them disappear, amplifies the fear of a simulated life. While post-modernism have often pointed out the insignificance of human existence, it is still rather challenging to accept the simulation hypothesis without having to face a real existential crisis.
So, what do you think? Are we living in a computer simulation?

The story is sad. The story is costly. The story almost ended, well, in cat demise.
When Frosty, the cat in question, or should I say the questionable cat arrived, he was a stray that roamed the streets for years. How he ended up as my housemate was a result of his daring and cunning nature.
I would be out walking my big brute, 103 pound, white Akita and out of nowhere would appear this orange and white tiny cat, saddled up right beside my Akita. Now this took some fortitude or outright stupidity on this cat's part because my Akita had a reputation. And not a good one.
Neighbors would scoop up their little dogs and call in their cats when they spotted Bram coming. All living creatures would vacate the street. Squirrels would scamper, rabbits would run. My dog ruled and had no problem eliminating his neighborhood subjects if they ventured too near. He sent a few to the animal hospital and was proud to put a notch in his collar each time one was conquered or eliminated. Of course he was securely on the leash, so this was not my fault mind you. But back to Frosty.
This crazy cat ignored the neighborhood warnings and decided to befriend the Akita. To my astonishment, Bram accepted Frosty. Everyday, we would take our walks, side by side all through the neighborhood. Big dog, tiny cat, side by side.
This went on well into the winter with the commingling of the unlikely, yet happy friends. Then one morning, Frosty appears at my back door, screaming his head off, icicles hanging off his fur, freezing his tail off. The screaming persisted until I let him inside. This is how he became known as Frosty, by the way.
She cut off my tail. I was not that bad. (Kidding of course, but don't think I was not thinking worse. Just keep reading and see why.)
Another test for the big guy. Outside territory is one thing, but his palace, his kingdom? Well strike me down with a feather. The two were true best buds. So much that they cuddled up on Bram's warm blankly for a nap each afternoon.
In Bram's defense, he was twelve and a little blind when Frosty moved in, so I am sure he had an ulterior motive too. Crafty critters.
Now, where does evil cat appear? Like any cat, they have two distinct and polar opposite personalities all contained in the same fur sack. The sweet innocent, helpless one and the evil kitty. I bet the movie Gremlins was based on some guy's cat.
So, I am sitting at my computer one day working on a CAD file with lots of architectural design work, when all of a sudden, Evil Cat appears. They don't approach as Evil Cat, so your defenses are down. They mosey on up so cute as if looking for some loving attention. Then like a banshee they strike. I am working away ignoring the little monster, then I peer down and think ahhh, how sweet, he came in to give me some company. But I do not pet him. Big mistake.
The evil creature turns around, points his orange behind directly at the computer, lifts his tail, and sprays. Now how he knew to spray into the fan is beyond me for maximum damage, but the little sucker did. This spot was the only place where damage would occur too. Ya think it was payback for his recent neutering? I immediately saved and shut down, but too late. The machine was fried. Maybe he was holding a grudge for the declawing. But anyway….
I wanted to kill this cat. Since it is my husband's pet, I had to contain myself. My work was safe because I have redundant backup external drives, but the computer was kaput.
What does she expect, cats do the expecting.
I have a laptop, so I hook up the two monitors, tablet, scanners, speakers and all the rest of my equipment to the smaller machine and hope for the best. It worked fine for a couple of years, but the hard drive is small at 1 TB (well over half full) and the ram insufficient at 4 Gigs for the large files I routinely work on. I also work with multiple apps open simultaneously, very ram heavy stuff.
The Akita is gone but Frosty still has his tail. And is still getting into trouble. Sights set on the houseplants.
So yesterday I awaited my new Apple, Mac Pro, a leased machine. Not taking chances this time. It is an 8 core machine with three TB hard drives and 12 gigs memory. Should be good for a while. It arrived in the late afternoon and I will be spending today setting up the machine. This process is made so simple by Apple. I remember the old days of transferring files, but no more. With an application called Time Machine, with a click of a button, my old machine is now my new machine. Everything is now on the new machine, and I mean absolutely everything. Not one thing to do except add the peripherals.
No more spinning beach balls when I open up a Photoshop file, no waiting for filters to apply. No crashing CAD projects. I am happy as can be. Now all I need is a Rottweiler to guard the door, and keep my office cat free.

Standard Wedge SE
Extended Wedge SE
Editor's Notes
Triangular Tungsten Canopy
If you are planning a race and are not required to use a specific kit type, our MV Basic or Wedge Car Kit are just what you need. These attractively priced kits are equipped with:
Polish the axles with Axle Polish (part 5101), or use the two finest papers in our Axle Polishing Kit (part 5100). If desired, Diamond Polish (part 5107) can be used for a final high shine.
Select four beads that fit tightly onto the axle shafts (extras are supplied). If you don't want black beads, then purchase beaded pins from a craft store. Remove the beads, and finish drilling the hole through the bead with a #66 drill bit.
Prepare the axle hole or slot by reaming with a #44 drill bit.
Press each axle into place using the installation tool.
Apply lube to an axle; we recommend Kryox 100 (part 5106).
Place a wheel onto the axle with the dish-side of the wheel facing the car body.
Press a bead onto the axle shaft. Use a gap gauge to set the distance between the car body and the wheel. No glue is required for the bead.
Repeat steps 5 to 7 for the other three wheels.
To remove the wheels, grasp the retaining bead with a pair of pliers, then twist and pull.
|Needle Axle Upgrade: 10% Off
Top Performance - Axles are precision-machined from stainless steel to provide excellent precision in all dimensions for smooth, fast, and straight runs.
Less Flex - The steel material is harder than the regular needle axles to minimize undesirable flexing.
Easier Installation - No need to drill tiny holes for the needle axles. These axles fit into standard axle slots or holes (drilled with a #44 drill bit). The installation tool is used to press them into place.
Easy Cleaning and Re-lubing - The retainer beads can be easily removed to allowing cleaning and re-lubing of the wheels and axles.

Tendai Kamhungira • 5 June 2017 2:05PM • 1 comment
HARARE - Zimbabwean civil society organisations (CSOs) are planning to stage a protest over the Diaspora vote, as they up pressure on President Robert Mugabe's government to allow foreign-based citizens to vote in next year's elections.
The demonstration will be held in neighbouring South Africa (SA), where millions of Zimbabweans migrated to as political and economic refugees.
According to the Zimbabwean Constitution promulgated in 2013, Diasporans are allowed to exercise their right to vote, but government is yet to align the law.
Tajamuka spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi yesterday confirmed to the Daily News that his group, together with other like-minded CSO, were planning to march in SA on June 27 in their quest to have Diasporans allowed to vote in Zimbabwe's 2018 poll.
"We are demanding that the government allows those in the Diaspora to exercise their right to vote, if that fails, those that are in the Diaspora must come to register and vote in Zimbabwe.
"We are pushing for both campaigns," he said, adding "I can confirm that it is our project and other civil society organisations".
He referred further questions to a point person in SA, who was however, not reachable at the time of going to print.
According to the programme, the march is set to begin from Union Building Circle in Pretoria and end at the Zimbabwean embassy.
The campaign is going under the hashtag #DiasporaVoteMyRight.
This comes at a time when the Zimbabwean government has been facing mounting pressure from several civil society groups and individuals to accord citizens living in foreign lands an opportunity to vote in the 2018 general elections.
Recently, war veterans added their voice in the call for the government to include the Diaspora vote in next year's elections.
There are millions of Zimbabweans living outside the country for political and economic reasons.
Political analysts have in the past urged the government to align the country's laws to the Constitution to allow the foreign-based citizens their right to vote in any election.
However, government has been dragging its feet on the process, amid claims that the Diaspora vote is important in bringing about change in the country.
Zanu PF has been on record claiming that it will not reform itself out of power, in move that will likely see it not making any significant progress in terms of aligning the country's laws to the Constitution.
This is despite that several countries across the world afford their nationals abroad an opportunity to participate in elections. As for Zimbabwe, this chance is only given to civil servants in diplomatic missions.
Last year, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) said it would require in excess of $281 million to prepare for the 2018 elections if the Diaspora vote was to be included.
The Zimbabwe Election Support Network has also been calling for the Diaspora vote agenda which includes options such as litigation, with those disadvantaged by the existing policies petitioning the country's courts seeking an order compelling government to allow them to vote.
Everyone must be allowed to vote...stop still,lying about other people .stop being so satanic allow everywhere where people to vote and decide for the future of their country.....vazhinji vakafa varikutakurwa kuzowigwa kumusha....paunozowigwa todakuona mapick nemafoshoro zviriko,zvinhu zvese zvakatichechetere ....let everyone have a chance to decide for his country

Easy To Comply With Nutrition Guidance For Every Person
Almost everyone wants to stay healthy and make wise food choices. But sometimes, it's hard to do the best we can, when it comes to our nutrition. Here are some smart ideas to help you and your family with putting good things in your bodies, while enjoying what you eat.
If you are trying to eat as cheaply as possible, but still want to be healthy, purchase a variety of fortified breakfast cereals. Vitamins and minerals are added so it's as if you're taking a multivitamin. One box provides you with 4 or 5 meals so the cost per meal is less than one dollar for you.
Instead of bemoaning the fact that your favorite foods are high in fat or sugar, start focusing on the healthy foods you do like. This way you'll be happier about eating in a health-conscious way, and you might be surprised at the number of foods that are healthy that you already like.
Create a rainbow on your plate! Colorful vegetables and fruits contain many healthy nutrients, and do not contain that many calories. You should be preparing vegetables with every meal and consuming fresh fruits as a snack. Also, eat the skins of the fruits and vegetables if http://www.activebeat.co/your-health/women/8-common-causes-of-immune-disorders/2/ they are edible because most of the nutrients are under the skin.
Try buying your fruits and vegetables at a farmer's market near you. Not only do locally-grown foods have a minimal impact on the environment, but they are also better for you, since small farms generally use less harmful chemicals. It's fun to walk around and sample all the delicious fruits and vegetables. Converse with the farmers to ensure you know exactly where and how the food was produced.
Eating well and taking supplemental vitamins are keys to maintaining one's health. For one to appreciate what "eating well" means, they must understand that having a well-balanced diet is very simple, but also very important for one's physical and mental well-being. The human body requires the proper mix of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, in order to function. Food is fuel for any animal and having a good understanding of what is good for one's body is important. Lean meats, fruits and vegetables and grains are all important and all of these need to be items in one's daily diet.
A great nutritional tip is to turn off the television so that it won't distract your child when he or she eats. Eating in front of the television can lead to poor eating habits and it makes you unaware of how much you're eating. Get your child to focus on eating instead of watching television.
When it comes to cooking from home, choosing a recipe from a diabetic cookbook will help you to lose weight. These recipes are always low in sugar and fats and are also, low calorie. Even if you are not diabetic, sticking to a diet like this, will make weight loss much more successful.
Eat your oatmeal every day! Oatmeal is one amazing healthy food that has the ability to keep you going up until the afternoon. Eat oatmeal for breakfast, and then there is no need for a mid-morning snack and you will have enough energy to last you until lunch.
Try not to use dessert as a reward for eating healthy. If a child sees dessert as a reward, they're going to think that it is the best food. This will only reinforce their desire to have sweets. If you want to use dessert as a reward, try offering fruits and other healthy foods.
You need to eat regularly and eat a substantial amount of calories at each meal or snack, in order to keep your blood sugar and your insulin levels balanced. Not eating enough can cause these levels to crash, lowering your energy levels and your metabolism. This will actually cause you to gain weight even though you aren't eating very much.
The drinks one choosing can often be some of the worst things for them nutritionally. Pops, certain juices, and other drinks can be very high in sugars. The sugars in these drinks do not do any good for ones nutrition. Drinking water or healthier minded drinks can be beneficial to ones nutrition.
For a quality nutrition plan avoid eating foods that are rich in fat, saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fat. All fat is fat, the terms they use simply mean "deep fried" or chemically altered. No matter how you look at it, eating too much fat is absolutely horrible for your body.
A great nutrition tip is to not overcook your food. When you overcook food to the point where it becomes burnt, you are altering the food's nutritional value. Protein in the food might become denatured. A lot of vegetables will lose their nutritional value if they're overcooked.
When your motivation levels begin to fall, you have to sit down and remember what happened in your life that made you want to start living a healthier way of life. This will vary for each person, but when you get down to the fundamentals and remember why you started your journey, it can help you get back on the wagon with your healthy eating plan.
There are lots of ways to get the important nutrients that you body needs everyday. The basic thing to remember is that you need to feed your body only with foods that are helpful, and avoid the things that are harmful. Be creative with nutritious meals. For the sake of your health, make nutrition a basic part http://www.amazon.co.uk/Probiotic-1030-Probiotics-Supplement-Digestive/dp/B01BZC1QWM/keywords=probiotics+30+billion+cfu of your life.

Brian, our company President, says, "We want our team to start off strong first thing in 2018, which means we are looking for sharp people right now. We are so excited to get new people, and hopefully double the size of our team. We want to be able to take on more brands, do more events, and maximize our exposure for our partners at the end of the quarter – which requires us to expand our team."
Hiring is always exciting because it is a chance to meet new people and it represents the continued growth of Focus Marketing Events. Demand for our on-site sales promotions has climbed throughout our history. This has necessitated this team expansion so that we can meet all the needs of the companies we represent.
Another exciting aspect of this hiring push is that it will enable us to realize some of our major objectives for the coming year. Goal setting is an essential element of fostering an empowered team of professionals. So, the possibility of both meeting our personnel expansion goals and to have the people necessary to reach other aspirations has everyone in our office buzzing.
We are looking forward to meeting the applicants who come with this recruitment effort. To find out more about our culture, follow us on Linkedin

What if we lived in a world where Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were signed to rival promotional companies, causing two of the greatest tennis players of this generation to never step on the court to face each other? It may sound preposterous but this hypothetical question is the reality for boxing.
Boxing is the only non team sport where two athletes in their prime run the risk of never facing each other in an actual competition. This is due to the fact boxing has no singular governing body like the ATP, NBA, PGA, or NFL. In boxing there are multiple promotional companies representing multiple fighters. The main promotional companies; Top Rank, Matchroom, Premiere Boxing Champions, Golden Boy, Main Events, and K2 represent the majority of the sports top fighters.
Then there are networks like HBO and Showtime that have exclusive contracts with certain fighters, and in some cases, certain promotional companies. Plus, we can't forget about the myriad of managers who represent various fighters at the negotiation table. Not even Top Chef has this many cooks in their kitchen. In order for a fight to take place between fighters signed to separate promotional companies, or networks, a lot of moving parts need to fall into sync. Often times those moving parts just keep on moving.
It doesn't take much for a fight to go from destined to doomed.
At any given moment one promotional company can decide they aren't working with another promotional company, just because. For instance, Floyd Mayweather Jr. who is managed by Al Haymon, spent over five years negotiating a fight with Manny Pacquiao and his promotional company, Top Rank. Negotiations like that are extreme cases but in the boxing world it doesn't take much for a fight to go from destined to doomed.
In 2014, Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson were on a collision course until Stevenson signed with Al Haymon. Since Kovalev fights exclusively on HBO and Haymon fighters are banned from HBO, the fight will now be harder to make than Baumkuchen. Lately, Stevenson has been using the pretext of fighting on Showtime as the reason why a fight between him an Kovalev hasn't been made yet.
What does boxing need?
Instead of various promotional companies, boxing needs one governing body like all of the major sports in the United States. No more fighting at the negotiation table over the size of the ring, brand of the gloves, assignment of the corners, name of the referee, who's first to ring walk, or the catch-weight number. To the casual fan this seems like quibbling over semantics but many fighters are looking to take away as many advantages from their opponent as they can.
Just imagine an NBA finals between Cleveland and Golden State being called off because Lebron wants to use a ball from Spalding but Steph prefers Wilson.
With one governing body forming a league for fighters, most of the negotiations delaying great fights from happening would be curtailed. Can you fathom a world where NBA teams can choose the type of ball they use for home playoff games? Just imagine an NBA finals between Cleveland and Golden State being called off because Lebron wants to use a ball from Spalding but Steph prefers Wilson. This type of nonsense is commonplace in boxing. Promoters, networks, managers, and fighters all fight with each other behind the scenes before the actual fight.
If Phil Mickelson had a contract with CBS and Tiger Woods had a contract with NBC, causing two of the greatest golfers of this era to never go head-to-head, it would be considered a crime. What goes on in the world of boxing is often criminal and there are plenty of legal disputes as proof. Numerous fighters are mismanaged and advised to sign bad contracts causing deleterious effects on their careers. Inherently there's a lot of fighting in boxing but keep the fighting inside the ring for the sake of the sport and its fans.
That's a reality we all dream of living in.

Give us a call today for your free Landscape Design Consultation
California License Number 561121
If you still have lighting in your backyard that you bought from the big box store five or six years ago, then you have been left way behind! Andrew Landscape has been installing landscape lighting throughout the Inland Empire, Orange County, parts of Los Angeles County and yes, even up into the San Bernardino mountains of Southern California, for over thirty years. And it seems like the lighting we installed six years ago is already obsolete. Now don't get me wrong, the lights are still doing their job making the landscape look beautiful at night, but the efficiency, (and who's not trying to be more energy efficient these days,) and quality of the light itself has changed so much in the last few years, you wouldn't believe the difference.
We're currently working on a job for a repeat, repeat, repeat customer. Part of the work includes upgrading and changing the old lighting. The owner told me we could probably just reuse the old transformer since it was still working. Oh my God! I took a look at the old lighting transformer from maybe fifteen years ago and couldn't believe how old it looked compared to the new transformers. I don't mean just worn looking. I'm talking about engineering! What a change!! One of the biggest changes is the timer that is part of most transformers. In the "old days" the timer was built into the transformer unit. When the timer stopped working you had to replace the whole transformer. That was nuts! I complained to some of the lighting companies for years about this. The timer would die but the transformer itself was still working just fine. With the broken down timer, now you had to go out and plug in the transformer when you wanted the lights on and go outside to unplug it when it was time to turn them off. That's assuming you remembered to go back outside to unplug the transformer.
The new transformers don't even come with a timer built in anymore. They now provide you with a timer that costs about $15.00 that just plugs into the unit. When it dies, you just go to the hardware store and buy a new timer and plug it into your $400.00 transformer. (Cost depends on the number of lights you're working with). It only took me about fifteen years of complaining about timers, but they finally listened to me. In all my years of doing landscape and landscape lighting, I don't think I've ever seen a lighting transformer stop working. Unless of course everything was wired up wrong and fried the poor thing.
You also need to see the difference with the new LED lighting. It's hard to explain, but the light color is so much better than incandescent. What's really neat with LED landscape lighting is the cost to install. We can use a much smaller transformer (big savings for the homeowner), and the wiring cost is also much less. It took us some time to get used to it, but the LED lights use such a small amount of power, the transformer size and wiring size and runs are greatly reduced. Now you do need to understand that currently the cost for an LED fixture is more than incandescent, but you do save money on the other components of the lighting system. And to make it that much better, there is a lighting company that is providing a fifteen year warranty on the LED part of the fixture. That's amazing!! In that fifteen year period, if the fixture stops lighting up your back yard, they will replace the LED mechanism. Of course you need to realize that in fifteen years you'd probably want to upgrade your fixtures anyway.
Remember, when you spend a little money for some beautiful landscape lighting, you double the enjoyment time in your backyard. The money you spent to landscape your yard for all your day time use can now be used into the night and the difference can be magical. It's time to enjoy those warm summer nights outside, and not just sitting in front of the TV in the house. Who knows, you might even want a TV in your outdoor family room. If you need some help planning and or installing your lighting system, give us a call here at Andrew Landscape Construction. Enjoy your time with your lighting system this summer, but most importantly, enjoy it with family and friends. Happy LED lighting!

One of the foods I miss most on my gestational diabetes diet is burritos. Nothing says comfort and easy cooking like burritos, but with more than 30 grams of carbs per traditional flour tortilla, burritos are a thing of the past for most people on a low carb diet.
I was so happy to discover low carb tortillas and a return to my wayward eating habits! Surprisingly, they are inexpensive too, so even low carb dieters on a budget can enjoy burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas again. I have researched several brands of low carb tortillas and have summarized the different brands available. If you have found a brand not listed here or would like to share other ideas, please feel free to leave a comment below – I would love your input!
La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Tortillas
One of the leaders in tortillas, La Tortilla factory offers not just one, but four different low carb varieties. All of their tortillas are made with whole wheat flour and oat fiber, so they taste great and have a huge helping of fiber to go along. The three main varieties, Original Whole Wheat, Green Onion and Garlic & Herb, all measure seven inches and have 10 grams of carbs per tortilla, with seven grams of fiber. They also offer a Large Size variety, the actual size of which I was unable to find, which comes in at 18 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fiber.
Mama Lupe Low Carb Tortillas
Mama Lupe tortillas come in at a cool 5-star rating on Amazon, and are supposed to be the closest in taste to regular tortillas compared to the other brands. At just seven carbs per tortilla, and four grams of fiber, these are probably the lowest carb option, and certainly the tastiest.
Mission Low Carb Tortillas
Mission Yellow Corn Extra Thin Tortillas are available at any grocery store and make excellent enchiladas. They are not geared toward the low carb crowd, which means they are much more affordable and don't have any wacky ingredients. Each tortilla, though quite small, has eight grams of carbs and one gram of fiber. They're not the best solution, but they'll do in a pinch and on a budget.
Tumaro's Low Carb Tortillas
Tumaro's Multigrain tortillas were voted best tortilla by Men's Health Magazine. That's saying something! Available in Multigrain, Garden Vegetable, Salsa and Green Onion, Tumaro's low carb tortillas range from 12-13 grams of carbs and 7-8 grams of fiber per tortilla.
So next time you have a hankering for burritos, go for it! You can probably even help yourself to two if you're careful about the ingredients. It's dinnertime and all this talk of burritos is making me ravenous – until next time!

There's more new migraine treatment available than ever.
We could probably write several pages on the latest migraine treatments on the market. Some work no better than old treatments. Migraine sufferers are turning to new migraine methods such as alternative treatments that have become popular in the last several years.
On our last page about magnetic therapy for migraines we found out that this works for pain. Chiropractors help with migraines that originate from the neck, and acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in China for pain relief. New migraine treatments also consist of surgery for migraines that don't respond to conventional treatments. A few years ago surgery was very seldom used for migraines, just switching medicines around hoping one would work. For 95% of headache sufferers that does help.
There are many methods that are used to control migraines. And what works for one doesn't work for another migraine sufferer. First, as I've said in a few other pages, all migraine sufferers will ultimately have to try and take control of their migraines. Around fifty percent of migraine relief is had through the individual. And that comes from simply learning all about migraines and their causes.
Although it's not a new migraine treatment, staying away from all known migraine triggers, and starting with new headache treatments may help. Although we would like to think that a new migraine treatment would come on the market that would zap all migraines, it just won't happen.
Sometimes a change in the diet and avoiding certain foods and beverages can help headaches. Consuming large amounts of caffeine on a daily bases may be a headache factor in certain individuals. These are but a few of migraine triggers to be aware of. After applying these one by one and still no relief, then move to another new migraine treatment.
One of the relative new migraine treatments is botox. For many migraine sufferers this line of treatment helps reduce or eliminate the pain.
One of the migraine treatments that has stopped many migraines in their tracks is the relative new class of triptans. There're many new powerful drugs that have been made available in the past decade to attack acute migraine attacks.
A fairly new preventive medicine is topamax. It's worked wonders for many at reducing their migraines, topamax also has several undesirable side effects
Non- Migraine drugs are still prescribed.
Unlike years ago, more focus is on preventing migraine attacks. You want to disable a migraine attack before it begins. And this is by taking non migraine drugs daily to help prevent a migraine from starting. These drugs affect brain chemicals, and help with the blood vessel inflammation, because that's what gives you migraines. Vitamins, herbs, and even magnesium contribute to migraine relief. Most headache doctors endorse taking these for relief.
If supplements haven't been used they could be a new headache treatment to try. These are the tested, and tried supplements such as herbs, minerals, and vitamins that continue to work for many headache sufferers.
One such migraine treatment is a new migraine drug called Treximet, which combines Imitrex, and naproxen sodium which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug contained in Aleve and other over the counter medications. Here's what each is for.
We hope this page gave you the info you wanted, thanks for reading.
There're more migraine treatments each year on the market for the help of migraines than ever before. One fairly new migraine treatment is migraine surgery. This new treatment is done by a plastic surgeon, but one has to meet the criteria for this migraine treatment. Each migraine sufferer that visits a headache specialist may see a new type of migraine treatment. Depends on what the specialist thinks is causing the migraine and the best course of treatment.
Our last page was how to cure migraines, and our next page is about another type of migraine treatment using magnetic therapy. Home page from new migraine treatment.
For our Migrane sufferers that may want to seek additional help other than information, there's many products to choose from on Amazon to relieve that headache. You'll be surprised as to how many products are designed for headache relief, from medicine to pillows and so forth.
Look at the products below and read the reviews. They are all sold on Amazon for
Even pillows for migraines help tremendously when the pain originates from the neck area. Herbs and Vitamins such as the ones mentioned above are helpful for some sufferers. Most are very inexpensive, and you may find something that will work for your type of headache. All can be found by searching Amazons many headache products.

NPR: The 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women
#96. Lil' Kim
We all knew Lil' Kim from Junior M.A.F.I.A., but we still weren't ready for her solo debut, Hard Core, when it released in November 1996. The album's title speaks for itself: The introductory track features a man pleasuring himself, presumably while watching a porn flick starring the diminutive rap diva. Track two cues up, and Lil' Kim's wordplay immediately lets us know how she used to be scared of the male member. On Hard Core she owned her sexuality; it was a Big Momma Thang. Lil' Kim goes in on these tracks, deftly weaving in between rapper's moll and hard-edged gold digger. She wasn't doing anything that women hadn't done before — using what they got to get what they want — but Hard Core didn't sugarcoat it. Lil' Kim had no time for fake dudes; all they could do was give her orgasms, buy her jewels, cars and designer goods, then disappear. (Except for Biggie, of course, as she reps hard for him on "Queen B@#$H"). Luminaries like B.I.G., Lil' Cease and even Jay Z jump in with some bars here and there on the album. But trust, this is a Queen Bee jawn. Is it feminist? No idea. But Kim did it first, Nicki Minaj. —Tanya Ballard Brown (NPR Staff)

- what has become popularly-known as 'Multi-Level Marketing' is nothing more than an absurd, cultic, economic pseudo-science.
- the impressive-sounding made-up term 'MLM,' is, therefore, part of an extensive, thought-stopping, non-traditional jargon which has been developed, and constantly-repeated, by the instigators, and associates, of various, copy-cat, major, and minor, ongoing organised crime groups (hiding behind labyrinths of legally-registered corporate structures) to shut-down the critical, and evaluative, faculties of victims, and of casual observers, in order to perpetrate, and dissimulate, a series of blame-the-victim rigged-market swindles or pyramid scams (dressed up as 'legitimate direct selling income opportunites'), and related advance-fee frauds (dressed up as 'legitimate training and motivation, self-betterment, programs, recruitment leads, lead generation systems,' etc.).
Despite Donald Trump's repeated boasts to be a genius who is as pure as driven snow, since 2006, in return for millions of (stolen) dollars, the Trump name and image has been used to promote blame-the-victim 'MLM income opportunity' cultic rackets in general, and the one known as 'ACN' ('American' a.k.a. 'All Communications Network'), in particular.
President Donald Trump has been deeply-involved in 'MLM' racketeering, both as a paid-pitchman for 'ACN' and as yet another parasite - peddling the secrets of how to achieve success to the transient adherents of various 'MLM' rackets around the world. I personally would contend that, had he been held fully to account for these many crimes, Donald Trump would currently be sat in a federal prison cell. Mysteriously, to date, neither the mainstream media nor the FBI has ever pursued a rigorous investigation of these shameful matters. Laughably, the 'MLM' phenomenon continues to be treated by the authorities as an 'industry:' when it's actually been fraud on an industrial scale.
These are just a couple of examples of the unreserved praise which Mr. Trump has publicly heaped on the 'ACN' racket and its instigators.
'Well, ACN has really been a great company, and you Greg have been doing a great job, you and your whole staff and group of people. It's an honour to be with you. And believe me, if you were not amazing, and if your company wasn't a great company, I wouldn't be doing this.'
Faced with a few mainstream US journalists finally beginning to ask mildly-searching questions about 'ACN,' Mr. Trump has recited a very different fairy story. Indeed, his reality-denying reaction to his participation in the 'ACN' racket, demonstrates that Mr. Trump knows full-well that he's left himself open to an avalanche of lawsuits, and to criminal prosecution, because the majority of persons who have signed up for the pernicious 'ACN' game of commerical make-believe since 2006, undoubtedly did so on Mr. Trump's personal recommendation.
In a tragicomic interview with the Wall St. Journal, Mr. Trump now asks the world to believe that 'ACN' had only employed him to give motivational speeches.
'I do not know the company. I know nothing about the company other than the people who run the company.'
'I'm not familiar with what they do or how they go about doing that, and I make that clear in my speeches.'
|Carl C. Icahn (b. 1936)
'With President Trump's blessing, I ceased to act as special adviser to the president on matters relating to regulatory reform.'
With an irony close to exquisite, yesterday Donald Trump's long-time pal, Carl Icahn, announced that he is no longer the President's (unofficial non-salaried) 'special adviser on regulatory reform.' That said, it has also been reported that Carl Icahn was fired earlier this week, but how anyone can be fired from an unofficial post has not been explained.
|Patrick Radden Keefe
Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but these developments have so-far been completely overshadowed by the headline-grabbing departure of Steve Bannon. However, they came just before a major article by Patrick Radden Keefe was published online cataloguing some of Carl Icahn's extraordinary conflicts of interest.
Although the 'New Yorker' article appears to be comprehensive, it doesn't detail the following.
In the last 4 years, Carl Icahn has acquired around 22.9 millions shares (or 24% of the shares outstanding) of the legally-registered 'MLM' racketeering front-company known as 'Herbalife.' On paper, this ultimately-valueless holding still appears to be worth more than one billion US dollars. This is despite the fact that, after a protracted investigation (and timid ruling) by the US Federal Trade Commission, it is now public knowledge that 'Herbalife's' declared revenues have mainly derived unlawfully via tens of millions of ill-informed persons around the world having been lured into, and churned through, the pay-through-the-nose-to-play pernicious 'Prosperity Gospel' game of make-believe known as the 'Herbalife MLM Income Opportunity.'
'Herbalife's' jaw-dropping defence (which Carl Icahn has enthusiastically supported) is that:
this never-ending chain of 'Herbalife' recruits (who, since the company's instigation in 1980, have been arbitrarily defined in their contracts as 'Distributors/Independent Business Owners' i.e. non-salaried commission sales agents) weren't unwitting losing victims in a fraudulent pyramid scheme: they were 'Herbalife's customers' - the fully-informed 'Members' of a form of 'discount club.'
Since the FTC launched its investigation, the 'Herbalife' bosses have altered the wording of the company's take-it-or-leave-it annual contracts.
Fraudulent 'Herbalife' material like this, has supposedly now been banned by the FTC, but for decades, senior US regulators have been turning a blind eye to this form of blame-the-victim cultic racketeering.
During the administration of George W. Bush, Timothy Muris ( an attorney who had worked for 'MLM' racketeers) was appointed as the Chairman of the FTC. However, this is just the tip of an iceberg of regulatory corruption.
'MLM' racketeers have been allowed to infiltrate US regulatory bodies simply by offering lucrative employment contracts to senior US regulators (like Pamela Jones-Harbour who currently works for 'Herbalife').

Can you believe it's already the end of September and dare I say it, Christmas is looming upon us already! This month sees a catalogue of both old gems and forgotten treasures from +Charlotte Tilbury, +Makeup Geek, +Zoeva Cosmetics, Le Specs, Milani and more...
Although we're coming in to September I've still been loving adding a bit of warmth to my skin with bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury and Milani. From her latest collection with Norman Parkinson Charlotte Tilbury created a cream version of her filmstar bronze and glow called Filmstar Bronze & Glow Sun Tan & Sun Light and the bronzer is stunning. Adding just the right amount of warmth to your skin without being muddy or orange, instead you are left with an incredibly natural bronzed complexion.
For days when I haven't wanted to wear foundation I've been loving mixing the Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow with my tinted moisturiser to get that inner glow finish that is completely effortless. Your skin is instantly given a new lease of life and ready to play for the day ahead.
There's no denying it that Makeup geek eyeshadows are some of my favourites and are in fact there's not a day when makeup is on my face that these aren't used. Coming in to Autumn I've been loving using Pretentious to give that gorgeous warm brown shimmer colour that both adds dimension and makes your eyes really stand out.
The Zoeva 228 Luxe Crease and 227 Soft Luxe Definer from the Rose Golden Complete Eye Set Vol 2 Collection have been my ride or die eye brushes for a while, but this month I've really seen how much I rely on them with other shadow tools being pushed aside, sorry mac 217. Not only are they perfect for getting in to the crease, they pick up pigment like nobodies business and blend out like a dream. Click here for my full post on these.
Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'Ore has very quickly become one of my all-time favourite blushers, adding a beautiful warm colour and glow to the skin all in one hit. The colour lasts me a full working day and blends on to the skin with a simple swipe.
Whilst the sun may be gradually going away here on it's Winter holiday my new Le Specs Hermosa Cat Eye Printed Acetate Sunglasses are making the most of every opportunity whilst it's still around. A pink leopard print frame with blue reflective lenses make them definitely a statement accessory but they make me see hearts!
Music wise this month I have been loving the new album Water for Your Soul by Joss Stone. That's right, the lady is back with a bang bringing her soulful voice to a catalogue of lyrics ready to get you swaying and singing along.
Until next month folks, then we're in to Halloween!!

From Dr-Ing. Aly Elkholy -
I fully agree with your points, especially the broad approach through secular organisations and the emphasis on addressing the core issues behind terrorism. I have a feeling that Government needs to be constantly and repeatedly reminded of these basic points.
Thank you for your constructive work on behalf of all Arabs.
From Dr. Stefan Sperl -
Thank you for this important and constructive statement.
From Dr Muwafaq Al-Tikriri, Canada
Very well done. It is time that we all voice out our condemnation for this curse of terrorism that has to to stop in a way or another.
From Kamal
Abu Deeb
Thank you. A fine effort. But when something like this is made public in the name of Arabs here, it should be well-written, in fine English and proof-read properly. It is not a positive contribution to the enhancement of the image of the Arabs to write badly and carelessly especially when you are representing a community which has existed in this country for over two centuries.
From Samira Al-Qazzaz
Very well said.
From Adel Darwish, Journalist

Dr Noori Hasan
Your press release refers to "revenge" and "tit-for tat" as if these terrorist actions may have some justification and some rational thinking. This is not the case at all. We know very well the doctrine and the backward (Salafi) education and brain washing that is happening in every corner of the Islamic world. This fundamentalist and backward view of these minority Muslims which is supported by the government in a rich Arab country like Saudi Arabia is the source of all evil. They regard themselves as the true Muslims and all other muslims and non muslims deserve to die. This is what is happening now in Iraq. Sectarian killings and ethnic cleansing on a large scale.
I think we should all condemn the breeding and brain washing of terrorists in the name of Islam and encourage moderate Islam that embraces all Muslims and have dialogue with all faiths.

found in the box that follows
From Dr Riadh Abed
Thank you for sending me a copy of this press release regarding the terrorist charges that have been made against a number of Muslim doctors, one of whom may be an Iraqi. Since this is a public document and since you have chosen to send a copy of this to my e-mail address, I believe I am entitled to a reply.
Personally, I believe that this statement, despite of the fact that it may contain some positive elements is a disgrace. It does not condemn terrorism outright and unreservedly. Neither does it point out that the doctors who have allegedly taken part in such terrorist acts would have betrayed their profession and their oath to do no harm and to aid others in need. The statement does not dissociate itself from such acts and from the ideology of violence and terrorism that plagues the society of many Arab and Muslim countries including Iraq. In fact the statement considers terrorist acts as an understandable response to injustice (whatever that may be). In other words there is an element of justification in your statement. This is why I consider it to be disgraceful.
This is a shameful document which every self-respecting Arab and Muslim should dissociate himself from and I do so publicly and I am prepared to repeat this condemnation in any other public forum if required.
Other responders who endorsed Dr Riadh Abed's sentiment
From Dr Majeed Jawad
I completely agree with Riad's response, since I would have replied more or less similar to his. We must have a clearer and firmer position toward terrorist attacks and terrorism in general.
From Dr Abdulkhaliq Hussein
Dr Mohammed Juma Abbas
Dr Mohammed J Abbas
me add this: Yesterday, a friend of the Iraqi doctor arrested in

dissociate ourselves from this type of thinking before we start to lose the
freedom that we highly appreciate in our country
Reply to Dr Abbas
you for your response. I believe if you read through my works you
will find that I have worked as a secular Arab for many years to highlight
to the British government and to other Arabs the problems you so rightly
point out. Unfortunately these appeals have fallen on deaf ears.
From Ferial Ahmad (5 July)
Yes I agree with both of you (Riadh Abed and Abdulkhaliq Hussein) that we should make it very clear that we are totally against these criminals & killers all the way.

behind your statement, especially as the act was done by not only medical
professionals but the fact that two of them were Iraqi medical graduates.
However, I wish to point out:
Reply from Dr Riad Abed
Dear Ismail,
Thank you for your
fulsome reply to my response.
I accept that flowery
language and emotive expressions is neither in the Western style nor is it
in its tradition. However, I was not interested in any of that. My sole
concern about NABAs statement was that it included justifications for
terrorism and attempted to establish a link between such acts (wherever
they may be committed) and 'injustices'.
It is my view that it
is just such a sympathetic 'understanding' of the terrorists' motives that
provides the environment where terrorist ideology can and does flourish.
In contrast, I believe
that if we (as Iraqis, Arabs, Muslims, etc.) are to move away from
barbarity and back to our traditional Iraqi values of tolerance and
acceptance of the other we must become unrelentingly intolerant of
the terrorist ideology (which is that any means, including the most
barbaric are justified by the aim).
Your statement is not
intolerant of such ideologies and that is why it is unsatisfactory.
I find myself largely in agreement with your personal statement which you
enclosed with your mail and wish to commend you for it.
Best wishes,
Riadh Abed

on NABA press
Thank you for forwarding the NABA Press Release sent on July 3rd. But I am concerned!
What made you think that the attacks were carried out by Arabs?
I hope you are not relying on the propaganda machine of the the British government and their BBC.
Why do Arabs keep this apologetic tone (shamefully since 9/11 events) without demanding for evidence and independent investigations done outside of the government's official story before they condemn a terrorist attack thinking that it has been TRULY done by one of their own. This is putting us, Arabs and Moslems, in a very weak position and on the defensive when we HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TO BE AGGRESSIVE AND ON THE OFFENSIVE considering the damage they have caused us, Arabs, non-Arab Middle Easterners and Moslems for centuries. By that I don't mean committing terrorism, but by how we approach the colonialists and propagandists of the industrial west and deal with their visa-vi our issues.
These accusations against Arabs have been going on since the middle of the sixties in the USA and industrial west, from the time when they accused Sarhan Sarhan for the killing of Robert Kennedy.
Haven't you asked yourself the question why all of a sudden they are after medical doctors? We have seen how the industrial west has been antagonizing scientists and medical doctors from Arab countries. How can you not question it when you are a medical doctor from Iraq and have seen what they have done to Iraqi scientists and medical doctors? You should condemn them for killing Arab scientists and for accusing Arabs AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
It is extremely important that Arabs, non-Arab Middle Easterners & Moslems, study the history of Europe (Greek, Roman, Viking, Anglo-Saxon, French and others) and the USA thoroughly to understand well their train of thoughts, their agenda, organized crime and the level of their deception and savagry! Reacting before demanding independent investigation to know the truth about these events has not served us, Arabs & Moslems, well and will not in the future.
If you/they don't like the study of history or have no time to do so, then it is a MUST to read and watch from the following two websites on a weekly bases focusing on the most controversial filled-with-lies event in the history of humankind. These websites are maintained by and include the contributions of scholars from (mainly) the USA and also Europe. The contributers are researchers, engineers, scientists, military personalities and commercial and military pilots:
http://911scholars.org/ http://stj911.org/
PLEASE enough about Arab and Moslem
so-called terrorism. I, as an Arab and Moslem, need not to condemn this or
that terrorist attack simply because I do not believe in and did not
commit it. I condemn something when it becomes a habit or an addiction.
When this is not a common thread in our history or present, then why be so
self conscious about it? If you, the person and/or NABA, condemn this
recent attack in Britain, then why haven't you condemned other attacks
taken place in Africa and Asia? Is Britain more important?

(USA): Doctors Involved in Terror Betray Faith, Profession
[Dr. Asma Mobin-Uddin is a pediatrician in Columbus, Ohio, and the board chairwoman for the Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).]
July 4, 2007 -- AS THE investigation of the terror plots in London and Glasgow unfolds, I am experiencing the emotions I often do in hearing that people associated with my faith are involved - incredulity, anger, and outrage that once again, these heinous acts are associated with people professing to be Muslims.
But this time, my sense of disbelief and betrayal reaches a new level as I learn that many of those accused share not only my faith but also my profession.
The thought of physicians treating patients while secretly plotting to kill innocent people sickens and angers me on a new level. . .
The stark contrast between my experience as a Muslim doctor and the news I am now seeing helps explain the disbelief and emotions I feel when learning that Muslim doctors are accused of such heinous actions that betray their profession and their faith.
I know these people are an aberration, people gone wrong as human beings sometimes do. If these doctors are guilty, they must be brought to justice.
I only hope that we remember to deal with these individuals as just that - individuals who chose evil on their own and not as representative of their faith or profession.
I hope we as a community refrain from generalizing the acts of suspected criminals to Muslim doctors in general.

It is with a heavy heart that we read about the affair in the United Kingdom. As we consider these events, we hope to remind ourselves and our peers in the health and the Muslim communities of several things:
We have faith in the British system of justice and hope and expect that all suspects will have a fair trial, without prejudice. These acts in the UK, if found to be truly done by health professionals, are inconsistent with all we believe in as Americans, as Health Professionals, and as Muslims. We call on all people of conscience, whether they be health professionals, Muslims, Americans, or British to consider seriously the damage their actions might cause to innocent people, the societies who would suffer from their actions, and the peoples and groups whom they will be labeled to represent when caught and identified.
If found to be guilty, these men will not be the first doctors to plan or perform heinous acts. If British justice system finds them guilty of these crimes, we put them in a pantheon of heinous physicians performing acts that go against the grain of all we believe in as Muslim Health Professionals. Josef Mengele, Mike Swango, Harold Shipman, and in the UK, John B Adams are small list of psychopaths with medical degrees who have harmed countless numbers of people in defiance of their professional oaths. We make no difference between health professionals who use their skills contrary to the human rights of any individual. Whether it is serial murder or genocide, medical torture for the military, or unethical research for profit, these people are not from us and we are not from them.
We especially call on all health professionals, from all ethnic and minority communities, to look for signs of social isolation within their community, and to openly discuss the issues of terrorism, vigilantism, and violence that have become a cancer in our midst.
Indeed, we remind all health practitioners of their obligations under the Geneva Convention, which ask that we state that "[I, the medical practitioner] will maintain the utmost respect for human life from its beginning even under threat and I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity."
The Association for Muslim Health Professionals, founded in 2004, seeks to become a leader in improving public health, through methods inspired by Islamic Tradition.

MAB welcomes Government response to terror threat
The Muslim Association of Britain welcomes the manner in which the British Government, under the leadership of Gordon Brown, has responded to the terror threats of recent days.
Mr. Brown's emphasis on collective and shared responsibility at these difficult times will be seen by all corners of the Muslim community as a departure from the old line which gave way to division and isolation.
MAB also welcomes the measured and clear statements made by Jacqui Smith, Home Secretary in the wake of the foiled bomb plots in London and Glasgow, and wishes to take this opportunity to urge the Muslim community throughout Britain to continue to provide assistance and support to our police and security forces in uncovering the facts of these incidents, bringing the perpetrators to justice and hopefully ending this threat that faces us all.
Ahmed Al-Rawi, President of MAB stated earlier today: "We will continue to work hard with all Muslim organisations in an attempt to eradicate this trend of extremism and tendency to violence that threatens each and everyone of us. It is reassuring to see that the Government is on our side, and hopefully this will bring better and more effective outcomes".

Jordan Times: Jordanian 'bomb plot suspect' innocent, says father
by Randa Habib, Agence France-Presse
AMMAN — The father of a Jordanian doctor reportedly arrested by British police investigating three failed bombings said Monday his son was devoted to becoming a surgeon and incapable of such attacks.
Mohammad Jamil Abdul Qader Asha, the 27-year-old father of a small boy, could be the mastermind of the bomb plots, officials in Amman said on condition of anonymity, adding that his wife Marwa Dana was also arrested.
British police detained seven people since a blazing car loaded with gas canisters ploughed into the door of the main terminal at Glasgow airport on Saturday following two failed car bombings in London Friday.
The following day, anti-terror officers arrested a man and a woman, believed to be Asha and his wife, on a motorway in northwest England.
They are now being questioned in London, while Scottish police were on Monday searching North Staffordshire hospital, where Asha has offices.
Asha's father, Jamil Abdul Qader Asha, told AFP from his modest apartment in the working class suburb of Al Zuhur, in southwest of Amman, that he had not been informed of his son's arrest and had learnt about it only through the media.
"My son is incapable of such acts," said Jamil Asha, a former teacher in his 60s with eight children, showing off pictures of Mohammad.
"Mohammad is pious, like the rest of us, but certainly not an extremist."
Asked if Mohammad went to the mosque, Jamil replied: "He didn't have time for that, he studied all the time."
"He was a brilliant student. He wanted to become an excellent surgeon and was not the type to get involved in political issues. At university he wasn't even a member of any student unions."
Jamil called on the King to intervene with the British authorities, saying: "Not all Arabs are terrorists."
Jamil Asha said his son obtained his medical degree in Jordan in 2004 after attending a school for gifted students in Amman, and the following year left for Britain to pursue his studies in his chosen field of neurology.
"I cannot imagine he had any other goal than to realise his ambition by studying in Britain," he said.
He said he had last spoken to his son four days ago and that he had tried to call his mobile phone repeatedly since the reports of his arrest emerged, but in vain.
"When I spoke to him on Friday, he told us that he had reserved a flight from London to Amman for the 12th of July. He was excited about the idea of coming to see his family and asked us what gifts we wanted," he said.
Jamil described the slightly-built bespectacled Mohammad, who married in 2004 and has a son aged two-and-a-half, as a calm man who rarely got angry. "He had the head of an intellectual," he said.
"My son was happy in Britain, he was always telling us. He didn't feel he was the brunt of any negative sentiment as an Arab or a Muslim; on the contrary."
Jamil said he had tried and failed to find out more information about his son from the Foreign Ministry in Amman.
"It's a mistake. The British are going to find out it is an error. Mohammad is innocent."

Sat, 7 Jul 2007 ipbullet@.....
I do not know why you have to condemn and apologize for every act of violence even before the investigation is over. In this way you are asserting that Arabs and Moslems are terrorists and you are distancing yourselves from them. Even if a Moslem or an Arab was behind the attack, why should all the other Arabs and Moslems apologize and condemn. Do Christians do the same when a Christian commits a crime to an Arab or Moslem ? Do Jews everywhere condemn a crime committed by a Jew?
Are you obliged to do this? or are you afraid ? in both cases, you are not fit to be a true Moslem or a true Arab. You are just a second-rate British subject and I do not need your frightened condemnation to be sent to me. Do not send me any of this.

Wafaa' Al-Natheema on the press release of the British
Arab Medical Association
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." Edmund Burke 1729-97
The press release below by the Arab Medical Association lacks the call for independent investigations and/or the request to meet with the accused doctors or their families for the pursuit of truth and/or to offer them legal consultation.. They are being made guilty before proven innocent, remember this famous legal notion? That is if the accused are really who they are or that they are really doctors! So the community has a responsibility to dig for the truth and offer support for the accused and the authorities. If the authorities don't allow it, then there is certainly something suspicious about their claims and accusations!
We can not afford to be on the defensive and scared. That is exactly what the authorities in the industrial west want us to be and behave. If medical doctors don't understand the psychology behind all of this, then who does? In fact point 4 in the press release below is very problematic because it blindly agrees with the official story and confirms that our youth "have extremism" and need to be straightened up by their majesty, the British authorities.
If the Association of Arab medical doctors has failed in this regard, then I hope and cross my fingers that Arab lawyers will unite to write a press release that emphasizes the legal rights of the accused and the important issue of proven innocent or guilty as well as the public right to know the truth!! Wouldn't it be a historic event if Arab medical doctors and lawyers (not just in the UK) write a press release that reflects our articulance, pursuit for the truth and courage, and then followed up with serious action? This should have been done right after the September 11 attacks, but sadly the Arab, non-Arab Middle Eastern and Moslem communities were pathetically scared and divided. Haven't we had enough of these baseless accusations to pull us into the ACTION (not reaction) ZONE?
I had sent you both an earlier email on this subject addressed to Ismael Al-Jalili, which I enclose below with a couple of corrections. My email was in response to the press release the National Arab British Association (NABA) has written. Kindly read and forward (my earlier and) this criticism to as many Arab doctors and lawyers. The two websites provided in my earlier email (see below) are a MUST visit every week especially by those who wrote the Press Releases and those who share their perspective. They provide extensive information about 9/11 and the oceanic lies that were packaged with this event.
Fear and hesitation have taken us nowhere!

Be assured that we will remove your address from our mailing list, but please allow me to make few comments on your e-mail:
1. What we released only represents BAMA committee and its membership, therefore if you are not a member you cannot consider what we say represents you.
2. BAMA exists for 11 years and it is recognised on national and international level and takes part in many decision processes and educational activities.
3. If you disagree with what we say it would be more constructive and helpful to us to express your opinion and guide us where you think is correct rather than address insults and false accusations.
4. Vast majority of our members agreed with our comments and asked for such a press release to be issued.
We hope to be in more agreement in the future.

|The challenge for peaceful Muslims
July 8, 2007
By Minette Marrin - The Times
Truth is said to be the first casualty of war; trust is one of the many casualties of terror. If your surgeon or your child's school assistant or your charity's youth worker might be a terrorist – as we have seen – whom can you trust: the woman in the scarf at the checkout till? Your bearded GP? The tragedy is that trust is essential to a free and civil society; when trust dies, petty animosities and resentments will swell and civility and civil liberties will shrink.

|NHS's overseas doctors left stunned and fearful
Guardian, Saturday July 7 2007
Sarah Boseley, health editor
Saturday July 7, 2007
Just last month, a senior Iraqi doctor wrote a report for the all-party commission on Iraq detailing the deaths and kidnapping of Iraqi intellectuals and calling for pressure on the Home Office to stop turning away Iraqi doctors wanting to work in the UK.
Senior doctors fear this week may have wrecked any hope of that. Arab and Indian doctors, who have given great service to the NHS over the years, are dismayed and apprehensive for their future in the UK.
The government had already made it harder for them to get jobs in Britain by imposing new visa requirements last April and giving priority to applicants from Europe. Now overseas doctors fear getting specialist medical training in the UK - once the gold standard in many countries - will become tougher still.
"It is very worrying, very depressing and very shocking because the vast majority want to mind their own business and not cause harm to anybody. There is a lot of depression and sadness," said Maadh Aldouri, a haematologist in Kent and president of the British Arab Medical Association. "We accept that there will be some review of the process of appointing people, but I hope this is all taken in context."
Dr Aldouri and his colleagues cannot understand how young doctors could become involved in terrorism. "It was entirely shocking. We all appreciate that some of the community from an Arab/Muslim background may feel angry about events, but to reach the degree where young promising professionals, some with families, can be involved in this is unbelievable," he said.
The consequences of their actions may be hard for their countrymen. Dr Aldouri is himself from Iraq, although he has been in the UK for 25 years. Most of the Iraqis here do not feel they can go back and many young doctors want to come not only for the valued training but also to escape the violence at home.
A report by Ismail Jalili, a consultant ophthalmologist who is chairman of the National Association of British Arabs, for the all-party commission on Iraq, last month said doctors and other intellectuals were being targeted. Between the invasion in 2003 and February 2006 more than 220 doctors were killed, according to the deputy minister of health, who was later himself assassinated. An estimated 250 have been kidnapped. In 2007 the Iraqi ministry of health estimated that 25% of Iraq's 18,000 physicians had left the country.
Overseas doctors have always played a vital part in the NHS. There are now almost 90,000 doctors from overseas on the General Medical Council register, of whom 1,985 are from Iraq and 184 from Jordan. The biggest contingent, however, is from India - 27,558 doctors, many of whom have been here for decades.
Prasad Rao, a GP in Stoke on Trent who is chairman of the British International Doctors Association, is concerned that patients may be alarmed by revelations about the doctors involved in the attempted attacks in London and Glasgow - together with the government announcement of further vetting.
"We have enjoyed the trust of the British public for the last 60 years," he said, "and hope to do so for the future, but if continually these kind of bad stories are coming up about overseas doctors it could sow seeds of doubt."
Jack Piachaud, a consultant psychiatrist who works with Medact, the global health charity, and has close contacts with the community of Iraqi doctors here through his work in conflict areas, said the public had a heroic image of doctors as preservers of life which was artificial. "There is the feeling of shock and horror, that health is about preserving life, but if one takes the wider perspective, doctors are human beings," he said. "Gordon Brown has to say we are going to look more closely at the recruitment process, but at the deeper level, once that is done, they must not exclude the question of how people are being radicalised."
Abdul Kareem Alobaidi, an Iraqi consultant child psychiatrist who is currently seeking asylum in the UK, is concerned that war and violence in his country are breeding a new young radicalised generation. Two years ago he petitioned the UN secretary general, calling for protection for the children from neglect and abuse. "This is very dangerous," he said. "The effect of the war and disturbance is to implant terrorism in the thinking of these young people. We need to help them - if we do not, they will find their help in bad places."
Aneez Esmail, professor of general practice at Manchester University, who has done a great deal of work on racism in the medical profession, also says the public has a sanitised idea of doctors.
"I spent five years on the Shipman inquiry," he said. "Why do we believe doctors should be immune to these things?" he asks. "To suggest that because you are a doctor you are not going to be influenced ... you are exposed to some of the worst facets of society. A lot of the time we have to interact with society and we see things that shouldn't happen and get angry."
Dr Prasad understands it is politically necessary to announce a review of the vetting process, but does not feel the existing checks and balances are too lax. Even if they had been tighter, he said, "they wouldn't have found the alleged terrorist doctors out because they have a very clean record".

Hey Cuties,
I've been on the go like crazy, I have so much I want to share. I just need to wrangle all of these thoughts and such in my head and put them into words. The kids and I have been checking out a new app geared towards kids. Originally I thought I would check it out with the four-year-old but the eleven-year-old joined in as well. They fuss so much it is so sweet when they get along; I must capture the moments as they seem so rare. You know the sibling rivalry thing is real at all ages I swear.
I received compensation for this post as part of a promotional program with MomSelect.
I don't know when I became the mother of these big kids but I am. Nori has been pressing me out about story time and how we've gotten off track with reading her bedtime stories. She is totally right, we used to read a new story every night. She doesn't expect Dad to read the bed time stories {No idea why not since he places the moon and the stars in the sky.} So I had a great idea to spring on her without notice.
I believe in outsourcing this parenting thing; I've mentioned this before. Now this isn't a for real replacement but it was a creative way to have a bed time story. She definitely wants me by her side though, so I'm not off the hook 100%.
There is a huge issue with music and the arts being taking out of school. They are the first two things to go when schools are suffering from budget cuts. The Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood app helps fill that musical void; with classical music in particular.
Edgy rock-star Alice Cooper lends his voice to every character in the story. Because talent. "It was sort of like going back to being 5, 6, 7 years old," he says.
Back Story: Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood is a revival of the classic Peter and the Wolf tale brought to you by acclaimed production company, Giants Are Small. This version brings Peter to Hollywood to meet his hippie grandfather while bringing classical music elements to life. Peter, along with all of the characters in the movie book, are narrated and brought to life by Rock n' Roll legend, Alice Cooper.
The story in total is 50 minutes long. All visual are handmade, that is like the ultimate DIY. If you get the iPad Delux vesion it includes 8 games. Both versions include a behind the scenes look at how it was made. A special section for parents and a meet the characters. Fun Fact: The National Youth Orchestra of Germany plays the soundtrack to Peter & The Wolf in Hollywood.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. -- Pedaling what they preach, the EarthQuaker Bike Trip rolled into Wilson College on Wednesday to raise awareness about alternatives to fossil fuels and sustainable agriculture.
"We're hoping to raise awareness about ways of travel that don't involve petroleum, and things like this community-supported agriculture farm where folks can get really great food right here in their backyard, support local industry and eat healthy," said Carl Magruder of Grass Valley, Calif., one of the seven Quakers riding from Philadelphia to Johnstown, Pa.
