Bassam al Qadi of the "Syrian Women Observatory" (I know, I've never heard of them either), has written a silly argument about why he supports banning the niqab in Syria's university campuses. Not once in his article does he consider that some women would choose to wear this voluntarily. But that is fine, because it's only wrong when the "fanatics" seek to deny a woman her voice. Men like Bassam al Qadi are allowed to speak for her instead because they know what she wants before she does.
Welcome to the ugly side of Syrian secularism.
I don't agree with that comment. Women who have been oppressed, suppressed, and brainwashed might very well ostensibly wear a niqab "voluntarily." But the reality is that the very idea of the niqab is denigrating to women, as it objectifies them and erases their identity. This is akin to saying that police should not interfere when a man abuses the woman if the woman refuses to press charges, or "voluntarily" accepts her abuse.
But some might say that the reason some Syrian women are sporting a Western look 'voluntarily' nowadays is because they have been 'brainwashed' by the Western ideology Nour.
So where do you draw the line? We are all brainwashed to one degree or another but is some brainwashing more acceptable than another? What determines what type of brainwashing is good and what type is bad?
Nour you have never, to my knowledge, said anything against the opposite extreme of the spectrum. My question remains, why are we tolerating one extreme and ignoring the other? There would be sheer uproar if the Minister of Education banned women or men wearing "indecent" apparel from universities.

UNICEF is mobilising an urgent response to meet the needs of children affected by the earthquake in Nepal on 25 April. With children accounting for half the country's population, UNICEF fears the disaster, which is reported to have already killed thousands of people, will have a severe impact on children. UNICEF has prepositioned supplies, including water purification tablets, hygiene kits, tarpaulins and nutrition supplies, and is working with government and other partners to meet children's immediate needs in the areas of water and sanitation, child protection, health and nutrition.

IW: Time to Dump Windows?
InfoWorldis Galen Gruman asked the questions on Sunday: Can it be done? Is this the right time? He explored what it would take to make the switch to Mac OS X or Linux.
For those who donit savor the switch from XP to Vista, many InfoWorld readers are talking about switching to Mac OS X or Linux instead.
"Windows Vista was the reason I bought a Mac mini. I didnit want my only choices to be an operating system that would soon be obsolete (XP) or one that was buggy and would break much existing hardware (Vista), and Iim not enough of a geek to use Linux (do things from the command line? Puhleeze...)," wrote [a reader named] "Jack."
Noting that it isnit quite so easy in a business environment, the author started a discussion about just what it would take to switch away from Windows.
"Of the plausible alternatives to Windows, Appleis Mac OS X has the largest market share and history. InfoWorld chief technologist Tom Yager has written that the latest version of the Mac OS, Leopard (10.5), is simply the best operating system available," Mr Gruman noted. "And Macs are indeed popping up more frequently even within IT circles -- Iive seen more MacBook Pros in the hands of CTOs and IT execs at conferences in the past year more than Iive seen Mac notebooks in such venues ever. Although there are no real numbers on just the business adoption of Macs, itis clear that Apple is in growth mode, gaining an increasing proportion of all new computer sales for more than a year now."
Stories about and resources for switchers were cited. One of the key tools is virtualization.
Switching to Linux from Windows requires a considerable technical and UNIX background. Itis not for everyone. Some of the IW authors insist that Linux will forever remain a niche OS, and one who tried the migration in an experiment gave up in five days. For others who have the background, however, it can be done.
One thing that smart businesses do know, however, is that a mix of OSes will serve them better and is more realistic.

Hey my name is Callie & I have been a Christian since I was 15 years old. I love God with all of my heart My values are very important to me. I love feeling God's beautiful Grace every day of my life & I am so thankful for all that He has blessed me with.
I have a few disabilities that I want to be open & honest about, I have social anxiety so I suffer from anxiety issues & sometimes panic attacks when I'm out in public but I usually handle myself pretty well & can just breathe through it, so I would definitely be nervous on the first date, but people have told me that I am very fun to be around once you get to know me & once I open up I can be myself. People have described me as kind, caring, sweet, funny, compassionate, & charming. I have been told that I am a good listener & that I am easy to talk to because I am understanding & I don't judge people. I am old fashioned & probably different from most girls you meet.
I don't drive because of my anxiety but I take public transportation to get me where I need to go. I have my own place & I live with my toy poodle & my black cat. I enjoy going to Bible Study Group & Church, Writing poetry, Star gazing at the beautiful night sky, Painting rocks, Photography, Going for walks on pretty green trails with my toy poodle, Hiking, Cleaning, Cooking vegan meals & I also love to bake cakes & cookies as well. I love hanging out with my family. Other then that I don't really have much of a social life lol I try to keep myself busy but I don't really have that many friends.
I love my life but I'm missing someone to share it with. I want someone who I can have a friendship first for awhile & then maybe marriage if it is God's will for us. I want a bestfriend that I can have for the rest of my life & I want to get married one day. I want to find a Godly man with a sweet heart & who is filled with The Holy Spirit every day of his life. I want a man who knows how to respect a woman & treat her with kindness. I want a man who only knows how to love a woman because of His love for God because he loves God first, then that way he knows how to treat a woman because God's love flows through his heart & soul. I want a man after God's own heart. I want a man to be able to love me like Christ loves the Church.
Age between 24 to 39.


Wadsworth Mansion Blog: Happy 10 Year Anniversary, Shannon & Frank!
Shannon and Frank were one of the first couples to get married at the Wadsworth Mansion when we opened 10 years ago after the renovation. They were married on June 18, 2000 and came back to visit us to reminisce for their anniversary. It rained on their wedding day 10 years ago so they were not able to have their ceremony outdoors as they hoped. Instead they had a beautiful ceremony in the West Ballroom.
When Shannon and Frank asked me if I would mind taking some pictures of them I jumped at the chance. I happened to have my camera with me as well, so I made them stand for two rounds of pictures! These pictures are certainly not up to the caliber of the professional shots we see at the Mansion, but I thought they were too cute not to share!
We wish you many more years of happiness together, and hope you come back to visit us again!

Middleham Castle, Middleham, Yorkshire: Is a Norman castle built in the 12th Century and was once home to Richard III.
Middleham Castle - Historic Sites - The White Goddess
Home ¦ Historic Sites ¦ Middleham Castle
Middleham Castle
Middleham Castle, Middleham, Yorkshire
In 1069, after the Norman Conquest, the lands around Middleham were granted to Alan the Red, who was one of William the Conqueror's supporters. He built a motte and balley castle on a site called Williams Hill which is situated to the southwest of the current castle.
Around 1170-90, Robert Fitzrandolph, 3rd Lord of Middleham and Spennithorne, started construction of the present castle. The massive Norman Keep, one of the largest, contained a great hall, kitchens, cellars, and the living quarters of the lord of Middleham.
In 1270, the castle passed into the hands of the Neville family and during the 13th century the timber palisades were replaced with a stone curtain wall. The original entrance to the castle was via a gatehouse in the East Wall, the present entrance is through the Northern Gatehouse. The castle remained in the Neville family until 1471, when Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick was killed at the Battle of Barnet.
King Edward IV granted the castle to his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who was later to become Richard III. Richard's son, Prince Edward was born and died in Middleham Castle. The round tower in the southwest is known as the Princes Tower. After Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, the castle was seized by Henry VII. In 1604 the castle was granted to Sir Henry Linley by James I. In 1613, the castle passed to Edward, 2nd Viscount Loftus.
During the Civil War the castle castle was garrisoned twice in 1654 and 1655. In 1662 it was sold to Edward Wood and remained in the family until 1889. The castle was then bought by Samuel Cunliffe-Lister, 1st Lord of Marsham. In 1906, the 2nd Lord Marsham inherited the property and made some repairs.
In 1925, the castle was placed in the care of the Office of Works and extensively repaired. Since 1984 it has been in the care of English Heritage.
The Castle consists of:
Northern gatehouse
Southeast Tower
Ovens and Horse Mill
Princes Tower
Bakehouse and Nursey
Garderobe Tower
Northwest Tower
Auditors Kitchen and Chamber.

Additionally, Slivkans got in touch with their creative side by drawing elaborate sharpie tattoos. Using a clever bit of chemistry, the drawings were sealed using a combination of baby powder and hair spray, which formed a liquid bandage-like coating to protect the art. Science for the win! In other news, Slivka recently decided to adopt the octopus as our official mascot. Hopefully a name will be appearing in the near future.

Bones Found Beneath Pontifical Teutonic College In Search For Emanuela Orlandi

Vatican City officials discovered two sets of bones linked to the 1983 disappearance of a 15-year-old girl beneath a stone manhole cover, the Vatican announced Saturday.
Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican City employee, went missing over 30 years ago after leaving for a music lesson in Rome. (RELATED: A Young Girl Went Missing In The Vatican 30 Years Ago. Today, Officials Grapple With False Leads And Exhumed Tombs)
Vatican City officials opened two tombs on July 11 belonging to two German princesses who died in the 19th century after Orlandi's family received an anonymous tip last summer that her remains could be buried there, The Telegraph reported Saturday.

Vatican officials discovered no sign of human remains when they opened the tombs, creating an even deeper mystery within Orlandi's disappearance story.
"For the first time in 36 years, the Vatican has concretely done something important," Orlandi's brother, Pietro Orlandi, said on July 11 according to The New York Times.
The city's investigators identified "two ossuaries placed beneath the floor of an area inside the Pontifical Teutonic College" a few yards behind the princesses' tombs, Vatican News reported Saturday, citing information from Vatican City spokesperson Alessandro Gisotti.
The ossuaries were "closed by a trap door" and "have been sealed for subsequent examination and possible retrieval of material stored there," Vatican News continued.
Gisotti also explained how, between the 1960s and '70s, while the college was trying to expand, the entire cemetery area of the school and the building of the Teutonic College underwent structural work during which time the bones could have been displaced.
It is unclear if the bones belong to the princesses or Orlandi. (RELATED: Vatican Investigates Decades-Old Disappearance Of Teen Girl)
The family's "interest is to actively cooperate with Vatican prosecutors to understand better how those two tombs could have been empty," the Orlandis' lawyer, Laura Sgro, said in a Saturday statement according to The Associated Press. "If we understand together, it's better."

Ordnance Survey Letters by John O'Donovan and Eugene Curry, 1839
Parish of Moynoe (a)
This Parish is situated in the northeast extremity of the Co. of Clare, and is bounded on the north and east by the Co. of Galway, on the south by that arm of Lough Dergdheirc which contains Inis Cealtra, and on the west and north-west by the Parishes of Tuaim Greine and Fiacail.
In the Annals of the Four Masters at the year 1084 this Parish, or rather the Church from which it derives its name, is called Mag n-Eó n-Orbraíghe.
A.D. 1084. Ceall da Lua, Tuaim Gréine agus Magh n-Eó n-Orbraighe do Loscadh do Chonmaicnibh."
A.D. 1084. Killaloe, Toomgraney and Moyno Norbury were burned by the Conmaicnians.
What the meaning of the name may be is not now very easily ascertained, though it would seem to mean the Plain of the Tree of Orbach, Campus Arboris Orbachae; Magh certainly means a Plain Eo a Tree, as in Eo-Rosa, Maigheo in Connaught, Achadh Da Eo in Kerry, etc., and Orbach, the name of the lady for whom it was planted as a monument. Magh n-Eo signifies certainly the Plain of the Tree as well as the Mag-eo in Connaught, but the import of n-Orbach, the latter part of the name, is not so certain, as no written account of it has been discovered and no tradition of its meaning, like that relating to Tuaim Greine, has been discovered.
The old Church of Moyno is not far from that arm of Lough Dergdheirc running up in the direction of Scarriff. It measures sixty feet nine inches in length and twenty three feet nine inches in breadth, not including the thickness of the walls. Its west gable is destroyed down to the very foundation, and of the north wall only a few feet attached to the east gable remain, but a large portion of the south wall, twenty five feet in length, fifteen feet in height and two feet six inches in thickness remains in good preservation, and also the entire of the east gable, but much injured by the gnawing tooth of time. The east gable contains a window in two divisions, of which the more southern measures on the outside nine feet six inches in height and eight inches in width, and the more northern nine feet in height and only seven and a quarter inches in width. Both are lancet headed outside and round inside and of some antiquity. The south wall contains another window about five feet three inches high on the outside and six inches wide and round at the head; on the inside about nine feet high and three feet ten inches wide. This Church would appear to be five or six centuries old.
There is a pointed arch which was probably a gateway leading into the graveyard of the Church. This probably belonged to the Castle of O'Grady at Muyno, which is mentioned in the College List of Castles of Thomond as belonging to Edmonde O'Grady.
A short distance to the north of the Church is a Holy Well, called Tobar Mochunna after St. Mochunna, the Patron of the Parish of Feakle and perhaps of this Parish also.
There is nothing else in this Parish to interest the antiquarian but a pagan grave situated in the mountainous Townland of Cappaghabaun. It is locally called Leaba Dhiarmada agus Ghraine, i.e., the Bed of Dermot and Grainé, as almost all the monuments of this description in Ireland are. The expressions commonly found in the Irish Romances:-
Togbhadh a líghe ós a leacht
Tóarccbad a licche uas a lecht.
i.e., "His stone was raised over his monument" seem to refer to monuments of this description.


Waiting Room is a play written by Simon Bartolo that revolves around four women in a waiting room who come up with ingenious ways to kill time by resorting to some very interesting activities…Some of us might take a page out of their book and try out some of their fun stuff the next time we're waiting for the lawyer, gynaecologist, dentist or hairdresser.
Who knows? We might make a few new friends … Or enemies.

Another year has come to pass. We humans have survived yet another lap around the mother star. 2015 has had, like all years, it's ups and downs. Some really cool stuff happened like the sending a space probe to Pluto, vertically landing a rocket (I knew I should have bought SpaceX stock several months ago), and discovering water on Mars are just a few of the highlights I can think of right off hand. This was 'the future year' of Back To The Future II. My enjoyment of the internet and wearable electronics outweigh my disappointment of not having a flying car and not having a computerized Ronald Reagan taking my order at a 1980s nostalgia restaurant.
Looking back on 2015, I accomplished most of my goals. I set goals every year instead of resolutions. I actually write down my goals (i.e. make at least 30 blog posts, get my amateur radio license, get rid of my clutter, etc.) and I rewrite them at the end of every month in a journal just to remind myself to keep going. The two goals I'm most proud of are getting my Amateur radio license and having more visitors to this blog in 2015 than 2014. The only real goal I didn't accomplish was losing another sixty pounds. I started off well as I lost fifteen pounds in the winter months to start 2015. But things fell apart about late May. Having a college buddy visit for a whole week in June when we went out to eat and hit sports bars several nights in a row didn't help the cause. Things got even worse after the week in the Black Hills for Matt's wedding. I'm not blaming my lack of staying on track with diet and exercise on my best friend but friends do sometimes get you in trouble. But those are the friends you should hang onto. If the worst Matt causes me to do is eat like a horse for much of a summer, well there are worse things he could have involved me in. But he's one of these tall guys who's skinnier than a rail and can eat whatever he wants and not gain an ounce. He's only a few pounds heavier than when he graduated college thirteen years ago. I simply won't even try to keep up with guys like him anymore. In August, my last living grandparent died. Went through several weeks of pulling all night internet research and computer game marathons at least three nights per week. That caused even more weight gain and mental health issues. My car wreck in late October didn't help the effort any as it made exercise nearly impossible as I had a few weeks of chronic back pain. But that's all cleared now. It wasn't until mid November did things return to a sense of normal. And now I'm where I started 2015, at least weight wise.
I also decided to get somewhat more cultured in 2015. To this end I watched a few foreign movies on Netflix. Also watched some classic movies like Citizen Kane, some Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, and saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. The only Stanley Kubrick movie I saw previously was Full Metal Jacket. I guess my impression of 2001 was it looked like a mashup of Jane Goodall, Buckminster Fuller, and Carl Sagan on bad acid trips. This was the sixties after all.
For 2016 goals, I want to lose at least sixty pounds. I also want to post to this blog at least forty times. I want to have more visitors to this blog in 2016 than 2015. I want to write poetry again as I've been lazy about that for two years. I want to revive some of my older writing ideas. In years past I wrote rough drafts for two truly lousy novels. I'm going to see if I can find those old files and dust off the cobwebs.I want to continue to save at least ten percent of my monthly pay. I'm saving up in part because I want to take a couple good old fashioned American road trip in a few years. I haven't been to the East Coast before. That is one place I want to visit. I'd love to see autumn in New England and visit some of the old Revolutionary and Civil War battle sites in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Sometime within the next five to seven years I'd love to visit the Deep South too. I have a couple college friends from Alabama who are always raving about the barbecue places and good diners down there. Here in Nebraska, we don't really have a specialty besides steaks and prime rib. In short I have a few goals for 2016 and beyond.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy Birthday Sir Isaac Newton! In short, just have a good day overall regardless where you live or how you believe. I spent a few days in my childhood home village in rural Nebraska. Didn't really go anywhere because there really isn't that many places to go there. My parents and I had our Christmas celebration this afternoon over ham and pumpkin pie. I hadn't been anywhere outside of my current hometown for any real length since my grandmother's funeral. I almost forgot how much I enjoy road trips and traveling. This was the first Christmas I didn't have any living grandparents. But most people lose their grandparents long before they hit their thirties.
Overall, besides of a short lived but hard hitting psychotic break a few days ago, this year was a quiet and rather uneventful holiday season. I was purposely avoiding shopping malls and box stores. Things are beginning to get back to more normal with my life. Had my first psychotic break of 2015 in early October that was rather nasty but thank God short lived. Unfortunately, my psychotic breaks involved a lot of anger and shouting. I never developed the ability to just break down and sob for my break downs. I think many men with mental illness take out their issues on others in scary and unsettling ways. For me, it's actually a cry for help and desire for releasing tensions instead of wanting to come across as threatening and dangerous.
I am afraid that after my family passes away I'll lose a major source for releasing tension and anxiety. They are also a source of interesting and intelligent conversation as they are quite intelligent too. Tragically I don't relate that well to most people because I am not interested in the mundane and the issues of daily living. I just cannot stand to rehash current events for hours on end. I see five minutes of a minor news story that gets replayed dozens of times over a few days of a news cycle and I no longer wish to discuss it. I also have little desire to complain about anything I can't do anything about. That's why I don't vent about politics, current events, the failures of my favorite sports teams, etc. And it's almost painful for me to listen to conversations between average people. Especially so when people bring up the same problems over and over they have no interest in making better. I fear the death of my family members as much as I fear the death of my best friends.
I have never gotten violent during even the worst of my breakdowns, at least never to other people. When I was in college I used to punch wood doors and shelves. But I have never gotten violent towards anyone even after almost twenty years of mental health problems. I haven't been in a fight with anyone since I was thirteen years old, and most of those fights were with my older brother and cousins. I am afraid of winding in prison or getting seriously hurt in the wrong circumstances during a future breakdown. In my case while the fire burns hot and bright, it also goes out quite quickly. I only hope symptoms and problems with schizophrenia get less severe with age, especially if an outright cure is never found. I know some people with mental health issues like autism spectrum and others don't care to be cured. For me I would give practically anything to be cured from schizophrenia. I would even sign up for experimental treatments and procedures if they ever became available.
In other news, I have gotten more focused and serious about dieting and exercise. I lost thirteen pounds in the last two and half months. I am back into exercising almost every day as my back is no longer hurting from my car accident. I got my car fixed as good as ever. I'm also sitting down and planning out my goals for 2016 as the year 2015 is drawing to a close in a few days. I accomplished several of my goals for this year, namely getting my amateur radio license back, having more blog posts and visitors this year than 2014, got to be in my best friend's wedding party, read a few dozen books and audio books, completed a couple free courses on khan academy, stayed out of debt, and built up my savings more. The biggest goal I didn't accomplish was my goal of losing sixty pounds. I weigh the same now as I did at the end of 2014. So while I didn't accomplish my biggest goal, I didn't completely give up the lifestyle change. I just have to do better in 2016.
It has been quite hectic for several months for myself. Between my friend's wedding, my grandmother's death, my typical rough late summer and early fall flare ups, my car accident, and the stomach problems, it has been quite eventful since early summer. As a result I got stressed out and lazy about my exercise and diet routines. I wound up gaining 35 pounds from Memorial Day to Halloween. But after my back problems cleared and I changed my diet because of my stomach problems, I'm losing weight again. I'm now down 12 pounds in the las six weeks. Over all since I started the routine of diet, exercise, and lifestyle change I'm down 50 pounds. Still want to lose at least 100 more pounds. But I knew this was a complete lifestyle overhaul when I got started in March 2014. This is going to take years of work and a lifetime of maintenance. Yet I am back on the right track again. On top of that I feel mentally more stable. It's amazing what a few weeks of stability and less drama can do.
After a couple decent snow storms and cold winter like weather for much of November, I figured that winter was coming early this year. That was until the recent warm up we had over the last few days. So I've been able to get outdoors more this month than last month, especially since my back is feeling so much better. Been doing the chiropractic treatments on my back for six weeks. I didn't realize how much I was being hindered by low grade back pain. I even had an old injury that had been giving me fits since age fifteen clear up. Too bad I had to get my car wrecked to get into this treatment. But good things can come out of bad events.
Another good thing that came from a bad event was learning I had some talents besides science classes. Almost all the electives I took in high school were in biology , chemistry, and physics. I spent the first two years of my college career with the goal of going into medical research. But the problems from the mental illness prevented this from happening. In desperation I switched to a business major. I knew nothing about any kind of money or finance besides being able to balance a checkbook. I got good enough grades in my business classes to graduate, but it wasn't the mostly A's I got in high school. But I still learned how to budget and how basic economics worked. As my college career was winding down I found I had a natural talent for writing.
I didn't do much writing as a kid besides what was required for my classes. I quit keeping a journal after a few months in junior high after I caught my older brother reading it one day. I guess I was paranoid even before I became ill. So that was one of those unknown and untapped talents I discovered in college. I wrote every day for several throughout the rest of my twenties. And looking back on those writings, I didn't realize just how raw and unrefined they were. How I got even a few poems published in my twenties is beyond me. But I guess anything worth learning is worth doing poorly at first.
I didn't learn how to write all at once. It has taken almost a dozen years of cranking out material to get even where I'm at now. I wrote for three years before I got a guest article published in the local newspaper. I wrote for five years before I self published a novel (which was truly lousy even though it was semi-autobiographic). I wrote for seven years before I sold a few dozen self published books. And it was over ten years before I had any kind of traction on alifeofmentalillness.wordpress.com. Even now I'm still learning the writing game. And I do it even though I don't get paid for this. While it would be cool to get paid for some of my work, it's not the end game of my writing. I'll continue to do this blog and anything after this for years to come. As far as money goes, while I like money as much as anyone it's not the reason I write. I write because I can't imagine not writing. And this is a thing that, had I never become mentally ill, I would have never discovered.

Night Shift and Port Charles. Aerial photos of Port Charles occasionally shown on the air are actually shots of the skyline of downtown Rochester. Events in the series indicate that Port Charles' is located relatively close to all of these locations, however it is depicted as a city which would constitute a separate metro area. During several episodes aired in , the characters of Laura Spencer and Stefan Cassadine traveled to a house in Rochester to find Laura's long presumed dead mother Lesley Webber.
The episodes in which this occurred suggested that Port Charles was a short driving distance from Rochester, though no actual distance was given. To be separate from but proximate to both Rochester and Buffalo, and located on a body of water as the "Port" in the name would indicate , Port Charles would likely be located on Lake Ontario north of the city of Batavia and east of similar small cities of Appleton and Somerset.
