[Saudi Arabia's religious police have announced a ban on selling cats and dogs as pets, or walking them in public in the Saudi capital, because of men using them as a means of making passes at women, an official said on Wednesday.
Othman al-Othman, head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Riyadh, known as the Muttawa, told the Saudi edition of al-Hayat daily that the commission has started enforcing an old religious edict.
He said the commission was implementing a decision taken a month ago by the acting governor of the capital, Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz, adding that it follows an old edict issued by the supreme council of Saudi scholars.
The reason behind reinforcing the edict now was a rising fashion among some men using pets in public "to make passes on women and disturb families," he said, without giving more details.
Othman said that the commission has instructed its offices in the capital to tell pet shops "to stop selling cats and dogs".
I'd laugh if it weren't so sad. It kind of brings to mind a quote from the movie Lawrence of Arabia. I think Omar Sharif's character was being scolded by Lawrence, played by Peter O'Toole: "...so long will (Arabs) be a little people,...a silly people,..greedy, barbarous and cruel!" It might not be an exact quote, and either way not one that I used to assume was true in this day and age. But the people of our "ally," Saudi Arabia, as well as others in that part of the world, seem to be trying very hard to live down to that description. Even today after all that has happened since 9-11, I would have assumed that story came from The Onion rather than AFP.
"You know I really get a kick out of spending time with the troops. Their morale is high, but they really appreciate acknowledgement of what they're doing," .
In addition to his speech at the Brandenburg Gate, Obama was scheduled to visit wounded troops recuperating at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, but blew it off when it was realized a campaign staffer would not be allowed to attend. Obama could have gone anyway, but decided to stay at his hotel (The Ritz Carlton) and work out. What a guy!
If Obama is going to be Commander-In-Chief, he had better get his priorities straight. First he refuses to debate McCain at a townhall meeting in front of military personnel and now this. It is becoming clear that Obama wishes to spend as little time as possible in front of military people for fear someone might actually ask a pressing question, like why did you vote against funding us and want to pull us out before the job was done? And why won't you admit to the mistake?
A reporter noted that the campaign has been distributing fliers to Berliners to drum up attendance.
"Why don't you guys go out and distribute some fliers?" Obama asked. "Is that a conflict for you guys?"
Joked a cable news correspondent: "We have been. It's called television."
They know they're in the tank for Obama if they admit it to each other, even jokingly.
H/T NRO and Laura's E-blast.
No credibility whatsoever. If we could only shake the MSM out of their stupor they might see what a dangerous man this guy would be as President. But that will not happen. So we must take our case directly to the American voters in hopes of shaking them out of their stupor.
According to Mail Online (part of The Daily Mail), China is colonizing Africa at an alarming rate, influencing governments, supplying vast supplies of arms, and even fixing their own overpopulation problem by sending Chinese citizens to Africa to live---750,000 in the last 10 years! And where was our beloved Main Stream Media? Until recently, for the most part probably blaming Bush for something, or following Britney Spears and Paris Hilton around town and reporting their antics. Sometimes the best articles are in the foreign press. But so far as I can tell, domestically, only the Washington Post and the Heritage Foundation have picked up on this (and Laura Ingraham).
China loves doing business on the African continent for its cheap slave labor and the lack of health and safety rules protecting consumers from dangerous lead-laced products. In return China avails itself to a vast array of raw materials like oil (China gets a third of theirs from Africa), steel, copper, platinum, gold, etc... China's business relationship with Africa has gone from $10 million a decade ago to over $12 billion today.
Politically, China is spreading its wealth around the continent to keep certain China-friendly governments in power. The Congo and Nigeria have seen $billions in recent years of gifts and loans, and President Mugabe owes much to China for helping him keep a strangle-hold on his people, along with $10 billion.
[Massive dams are being built, flooding nature reserves. The land is scarred with giant Chinese mines, with 'slave' labourers paid less than £1 a day to extract ore and minerals.
You might remember back in February when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, suggested that Great Britain adopt sharia law to please (appease) the British Muslim population. It caused quite a stir. Shortly after, of course, he modified his statements and apologized for his "unclarity" and clumsy choice of words, and stated that he was only in favor of it "if - and please note that word - this were thought to be a useful direction in which to move."
Well, he made the papers again (Daily Mail), this time stating that Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims in a conciliatory letter he wrote to Islamic leaders. In the letter he noted the Christian history of "violence, its use of harsh punishments and its betrayal of its peaceful principles." These are all things that Islamic leaders preach about Christianity to their own followers everyday, so they were no doubt pleased to hear this validation from a Christian leader. He went on to say that " faiths which reject the use of violence should learn to defend each other in their mutual interest." Who does this guy think he's writing to?!?
The naivete of this Archbishop knows no bounds. But then that has always been a common element shared by the liberal-minded. Like the Archbishop...and even Barack Hussein Obama, they claim to want to reach out and communicate for the sake of peace with those who publicly state their desire to destroy us. But I suspect it is FEAR which motivates the appeaser, resulting in a self-imposed naivete---> shoving one's head in the sand to avoid seeing the obvious danger signals in front of you, lest you should have to defend yourself.
The Islamic leaders are no doubt thrilled. For they count on appeasers like Williams to buckle in fear at Islamic bullying to the point where the appeaser is willing to compromise his own core beliefs and betray even God with a pluralistic viewpoint just to live on Earth without pain ------>COWARDICE!!!... or as Churchill once said, "...like feeding a crocodile in hopes he eats you last."
It is past time either for this Archbishop to step down, or for the more reasonable and Christ-centered of the Anglican Church to break away from a church which promotes appeasement to Islam and acceptance of homosexual behavior among the "faithful."
Are YOU Supporting Middle Eastern Terror???
You might be supporting terror every time you fill your gas tank. Click HERE to see if your favorite filling-up spot where you grab a newspaper, donut, and coffee is financing terror by purchasing their gas from terror sponsoring Middle Eastern nations. You might be surprised.
Paul has since reminded me that there are oil producing terror-sponsoring nations outside of the Middle East (who are also named by the Terror-Free Energy Coalition) who should be boycotted, like Venezuela for instance. And that Iraq should be an exception. Well, we ought to take Iraq's oil from them for the price of our blood and then let all the Middle Eastern nations, Iraq included, go out of business and once again become the poor, backward fiefdoms they continue to act like.
Barack Obama seems to be all over the place these days, and doing it not all that gracefully. While McCain has altered positions on issues whose circumstances have changed (many call this a healthy flexibility) like off-shore drilling, Obama has made major position changes on issues for either no apparent reason or to correct foolish statements betraying his own glaring inexperience, ie., Iran is a small country and therefore no threat vs. Iran is a grave threat. He has been doing this for over a month now since becoming the Democrat nominee aparent, but have the potential voters noticed?
[• After vowing to eschew private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money.
• Turning his back on a lifetime of support for gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision.
• Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. Now he says he didn't mean it.
• From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions.
• For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor.
• Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq, he now pledges to consult with the military first.
• During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers -- but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it.
Morris reasons that liberals who feel disallusioned with Obama's tactics may cross over to McCain. My own view is that buyer's remorse could rear its ugly head sooner at the Democratic convention. And why not?
The other article of note can be found in of all places, The Huffington Post (or Puff Ho for you Pam fans--that still makes me laugh!) written by Thomas Edsall, in which he states that with all the problems we face today with the economy, the Democrat nominee should be running away with the lead. But he isn't. Instead we have two lackluster candidates, both of whom have failed to take advantage of the blunders of the other. Pundits from both sides are critical of both candidates and reason that what they do in the fall will determine the winner in November.
John McCain seems all too happy with being the underdog at this point, as he has repeatedly stated. At first I considered this a rationalization for his lagging in the polls. Now I believe it is some sort of strategy of his. After recovering in the primary race in an astounding turn-around, maybe we shouldn't second-guess him. But it sure seems like he should be doing more to electrify his base, which hasn't been all that excited thus far, or has grudgingly embraced him at best.
Here's a tribute by Brit Hume I snagged from Hot Air on Tony Snow, who died yesterday morning of colon cancer at age 53. He was a man of faith who was well-loved by his coworkers and peers, as well as millions who saw him on television or witnessed his duties as White House press secretary.
First I prayed mostly for myself—for God to give me things, ie., new job or career. Then I prayed for others, usually people I knew. This list got too numerous and my prayers too long-winded, so then I made general prayers for world peace. Then I prayed for my enemies (Luke 6:27-28) because Jesus said that's where the glory lies. I noticed doing that made it easier for me to forgive them for their transgressions against me.
Then I exchanged my self indulgent laundry list for generalized prayers for strength to deal with all things negative as well as an appreciation for all things good. I would also pray for strength to stop sinning so much and even pray to be closer to God.
Then I re-read Matthew and kept my prayer simple and short (The Lord's Prayer—see Matthew 6:9-13) because God already knows what I need. And I concentrated on forgiving others who wronged me so that God would in turn forgive me my residual bad behavior. To this day I feel this is an important conditional contract that many people unfortunately downplay. See Matthew 6:14,15 and 18:21-35.
So with all this I put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20) and enter the fallen world a stronger man, ready for most of the coming onslaught. And in resisting temptation I set an example for others so they will see God's Grace in me and the Glory of the Spirit of the Lord. And through my example they will seek what I have found and start their own spiritual journey.
By no means has my journey been completed, but I am confident it will continue, as I am sure I've gone well beyond the point of no return.
The AP is reporting a story that they're treating nonchalantly from top to bottom, but one that I find astounding for all the information we didn't know.
Please allow me to clarify: 550 metric tons of yellowcake, enough to build 142 nuclear weapons.
This material in that quantity was found near Bagdad...in Iraq. It was recently moved secretly to a company in Canada, which purchased the yellowcake for several million dollars. It had been part of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program, you know...the one the MSM told us didn't exist. For it was widely thought that when Israel bombed the Tuwaitha nuclear facility, Hussein's nuclear program ended. Well, he still had all that yellowcake which he had stored in "aging drums" until UN inspectors "safeguarded" it.
Now pardon me for jumping to conclusions here, but doesn't that make the Joe Wilson accusation about no imported yellowcake from Niger in Africa irrelevant? When you have 550 metric tons already in your possession that wasn't destroyed by Israel in a bombing attack, do you really need more of it in order to cause mischief...or an act of revenge??? The AP report takes comfort in pointing out that there was no new yellowcake in Iraq after 1991. Well, the AP can take whatever comfort it can when a plate of crow sits on its dinner table.
President Bush and the rest of us who backed him in this venture can take comfort in the fact that this has indeed been a just war, however lengthy or botched at times.
Former North Carolina Senator and patriot, Jesse Helms passed away early this morning of natural causes at age 86. How fitting it is that he would die on July 4th, of all days, just like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
A polarizing figure but a decent and very polite man, is how many of his colleagues have described him. "Senator No" was his nickname among mostly Democrats, but he fought on the right side of issues like abortion, downsizing government, gun control, and others that we still fight over today.
Like Ronald Reagan he was once a Democrat, but switched parties when his political philosophy was no longer welcome among members of the old party. A staunch ally of Reagan and all things conservative, former Senator Jesse Helms will be missed.
Have you ever taken the time to actually read this? Most of us have been told what's in it by others, but few actually take the time to see for themselves what's being said--even in government class! And this foments a tendency to make false assumptions as to its contents.
It's the same with the US Constitution. Many attribute things to be in the Constitution that are only found below in the Declaration, like the pursuit of happiness, for example.
Read them both from top to bottom. The Declaration is printed in full below, but the Constitution you will have to find yourself. Then go do that weenie roast.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the right of Representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the People.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens, taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, DO, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly PUBLISH and DECLARE, That these United Colonies are, and of Right, ought to be free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that, as FREE and INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. AND for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Kim Trobe discusses in three parts a recent Obama address on religion with Focus On The Family Action's Tom Minnery. This is very important in light of the recent push by Obama to court evangelicals by taking advantage of the vacuum created by a seemingly disinterested John McCain. Here Obama hangs himself with his own words, showing the world why Obama is not on the same page as evangelicals, nor is he in the same book, literally.
Hat tip to my friend Carl and his nephew, Hawkeye.
One of these days SCOTUS is going to hear a case which challenges Roe vs. Wade and overturn that bad piece of judicial legislation, which was the product of that increasingly imposing despotism known as rule by judicial fiat (the liberals' way of imposing their religiously social beliefs upon the rest of us).
This video is more than a year and a half old and there is no particular occasion to justify posting it, except for the continuing slaughter of the unborn due to the continued state of denial by the left that fetuses are humans even though they consistently grow into larger humans when allowed to do so. These denying liberals bury their heads in the sand on abortion and the war on terror while thinking their buried heads are great thermometers that sense an increase in the temperature of the Earth.
Just feeling a little frustrated today. I've missed posting on a lot of stories due to my internet technical difficulties. The most frustrating had to be the SCOTUS decision on guns in our nation's capitol. I wanted to shout from the treetops but had no internet access with which to do so. AT&T did rush the new aircard out to me, once they determined I qualified under warranty. So you will see some new posts before Monday...while everyone else is outside drinking lemon aid and roasting weenies.
Correction: There is actually another reason to post this prolife video today. Something happened in Canada that warrants it. Click HERE to find out if you dare, but there is a rather graphic (meaning truthfully horrifying) picture associated with the blog post.

Santana (finger) to begin throwing program
Twins righty has no timetable for return after February surgery

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins received some good news on Tuesday regarding the health status of veteran right-hander Ervin Santana.
Santana, who underwent surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand on Feb. 5, received a positive prognosis from team doctors and a local hand specialist, Dr. Thomas Varecka. Santana is scheduled to begin a throwing program in Fort Myers, Fla., on Wednesday.
"I would say it's a positive step," Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. "We've had communications with our doctors, as well as doctor Varecka here in town. [Santana] is heading back to Florida and will start his throwing program tomorrow."
The 35-year-old went 16-8 with a 3.28 ERA and led the Majors in shutouts last season. His surgery was performed to remove calcium deposits in his middle finger.
"It's good news in that, you know, we've been going slowly and now he's going to have a chance to get on the field and start playing catch with a throwing program," Molitor said. "We'll try to get him extended over time, but it's early in the process, so at least the baseball process has begun."
Santana was slated to be Minnesota's Opening Day starter before the surgery, and the Twins have so far functioned with a four-man starting rotation. There is still no official timetable for his return.
Slegers makes season debut
Several of the Twins' Minor League affiliates have been hindered by weather early in the season. On Monday, the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings made their season debut.
Twins prospect Aaron Slegers got the start and held opposing Syracuse to one run on five hits over six innings. It was a strong debut for a player who could make his way onto the Twins' roster at some point this season.
"Lots of first-pitch strikes," Molitor said of Sleger's outing. "Percentages of offspeed pitches in the zone were pretty good, too. You'll take that. I'm sure for that team in general, it's just nice to play after eight or nine days."
Sleger is 43-29 with a 3.48 ERA over six seasons in his professional career. He was 0-1 with a 6.46 ERA in four appearances, including three starts, with the Twins in 2017.
Hughes to throw bullpen session
Phil Hughes is expected to throw a bullpen session in Fort Myers on Wednesday in order to prepare for a potential start with the Twins on Friday. The 31-year-old right-hander is on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, but he could rejoin the club for the second game of its home series with the White Sox.
Friday would be the first instance that the Twins would need a fifth starter this season.

A photograph of Kabul I took during my trip.
I had a chance to have lunch with Saad Mohseni (CEO of the Moby Group) in Dubai en route to Kabul recently. It was great to have time to ask this very busy man all about his work and childhood over a meal. It was seriously enlightening, as well as touching, to hear about some of his earliest memories in Afghanistan and how the country has changed since.

Organized by Fabio Camilletti (Warwick).
Kate Astbury (Warwick), Fabio Camilletti (Warwick), Vincenzo De Santis (Milan/Warwick), Cecilia Muratori (Warwick/Dresden), Joanna Neilly (Oxford), David Taylor (Warwick), Mariano Tomatis (IAS Warwick).
An academic workshop organized in cooperation with the Warwick Library, featuring special collections' items, including the 1831 edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the first edition of Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire infernal. Academics from a wide range of disciplines - Romantic Studies, Renaissance cultural history, History of Printed Culture, and Theatre and Performance Studies - will engage in a discussion on the book as an illusion-producing device, generating the same "enchantments" proposed by stage magic and amusing science shows. By moving from Paracelsus to Mary Shelley, from Cagliostro to Schiller, from the phantasmagorias of revolutionary France to E.T.A. Hoffmann, participants will examine the ways magic, between the eighteenth and the nineteenth century, shifts from page to stage and viceversa, with the help of Wonder Injector Mariano Tomatis.

"Magic Experience Design" is the practice of designing and developing experiences which may be described as impossible, surprising, unexpected, extraordinary—all that we usually label with the word "magic." In 1829 Eusèbe B. de Salverte publishes On the Occult Science, an attempt to retrace the history of Science from this perspective: the miracles of the Bible and the legends and prodigies of the ancient mythology are submitted to a rigorous analysis with the goal of referring them to natural causes and to the activities of magic experience designers. Friedrich Schiller's The Ghost-Seer (1787) plays a similar role, explaining how the Count of Cagliostro performs seemingly incredible paranormal feats. Even though it is a book of fiction, the German gothic novel is engaged in a dialogue with other contemporary nonfiction books and together they offer a vivid portrait of the multilayered deceptions performed by magicians and necromancers.
The concept of "Magic Experience Design", the dialogue between fiction and nonfiction books and the shift of magic from page to stage (and viceversa) will be explored with an interdisciplinary approach, making use of electronic instruments, shared web libraries and advanced principles of database management and data linkage, providing a model for further investigations on this and related topics.

Mic'd Up Moments That Defined The 2019 Season
By Nelson Rice / October 2, 2019 February 6, 2020
This summer NBC Sports and PLL cameras brought us onto the sideline, within the huddle, and under players' helmets. We didn't have to wait until a game ended to find out what players were thinking about a certain moment. Analyst Ryan Boyle could just ask them.
Top 10 Moments Of The Redwoods Season
By Alex Siegel / September 30, 2019 February 6, 2020
10. The Comeback That Could Have Been A four-goal run in the middle of the inaugural Championship game created a seven-goal cushion for Whipsnakes heading into the final minutes of the third quarter. After Jack Near and Ryder Garnsey narrowed the lead to five with under a minute to play in the third, a failed clear by Whipsnakes led to a transition opportunity for Redwoods. Near found Sergio Perkovic on a skip pass through the Whipsnakes' recovering defense and Perkovic unloaded a two-point bomb that brought his team within three.
Top 10 Moments Of The Chrome Season
By Nelson Rice / September 30, 2019 February 6, 2020
Top 10 Moments Of The Chrome Season The number of memorable moments for Chrome this summer far outweighed their record (2-10). The offense rounded into one of the PLL's most potent units and recorded the two highest scoring performances of the regular season. Those two wins were against the league's toughest competition. From Gutty's goals …

The Whipsnakes' Journey To The Crown
By Joe Keegan / September 30, 2019 February 6, 2020
When the rosters were announced, the Whipsnakes were identified by their strong Maryland alumni base. 20 Terps from Drew Snider (Class of 2012) to Connor Kelly (Class of 2018) gave this club instant chemistry and culture.
Top 10 Moments Of The Whipsnakes Season
10. Jim Stagnitta Pushing All the Right Buttons All season Jim Stagnitta showed why he is one of the best coaches in the world. However, his most notable adjustment came in Week 8 as he moved Connor Kelly to attack. This move not only created more space for Rambo as the long lefty at attack but also mismatches as Ben Reeves ran out of the box as a midfielder. Since the move in Week 8, the Whipsnakes offense was unstoppable, averaging nearly 15 goals a game, two more than their season average.
Who Should The Archers Draft No. 1?
Who Should The Archers Draft No. 1? The Premier Lacrosse League's postseason format aims to prevent tanking. The top pick isn't awarded; it's won. And this year, it wasn't won by the last-place Chrome or the fifth-place Atlas. The Archers (the third seed!) are on the clock for the 2020 PLL Draft. The Archers are …

10 Man Ride: Championship Edition
1. Rambo's vision in pick-and-rolls Last week, Connor Fields was stranded on Landis Island. Matt Landis locked him down for 48 minutes. While we billed Landis against Matt Rambo (3G, 3A) as the marquee matchup, the Whipsnakes had different plans.

Warden Of The Woods: How The Redwoods' Tradition Came About
After the Redwoods defeated the Chaos 12-7 to advance to the inaugural PLL Championship, the mood in the club's locker room at Red Bull Arena was, rightly, jubilant.
Perkovic vs. Bernhardt: Who Is The Best Two-Way Midfielder In The World?
In any sport, the best teams are the teams that adapt to the current set of rules. This starts with roster construction and continues on the field. Rules shape the speed and style of play. But rules are also constantly changing — just ask faceoff specialists. The Premier Lacrosse League is playing with a shorter field (100 yards) and a shorter shot clock (52 seconds) than field lacrosse has ever seen. It's no surprise then that the two teams competing for the Crown — the Redwoods and the Whipsnakes — are the two best teams at the parts of the game that these rules emphasize: transitioning from defense to offense and from offense to defense.

As a designer, I gravitate towards color. I love the strength and personality it brings into a room. However, I have a deep appreciation for neutrals since I think that neutral rooms are the hardest to design. With color, you can lean on a bold chair or piece of art to carry a space, but with neutral, the space has to carry the space.
A well designed, well executed neutral space just sings.
The key to a successful neutral space is texture. Whether its sisal, mirror, or fur you just need a ton of texture. And the best news is that you can insert texture with the help of a couple of my favorite pieces.
What do you like? Color or neutrals?
I am hands-down a color person, but I really appreciate a neutral space when done well – they truly are the most challenging to decorate!
That bottom cabinet is amazing.
i love all of these spaces. definitely a fan of neutrals. it's so soothing.
by rule i am a neutrals person but i can't live without pops of colour!
I love the idea of a neutral room, it seems so fresh and clean. But then I feel like I would get bored and want some pattern and color!
I'm kind of in between – I love neutrals with slight pops of color! I am obsessed with that last room! It's absolutely gorgeous!
I agree I gravitate toward color too! But I do love your round up. That Lucite is lovely!
I used to be all about the colour but lately, I'm super drawn to textural neutrals. I must own at least one version of the JA lucite goodness.


Thanks to the powerful voice of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance, Ontario has become the first jurisdiction in North America to completely phase out dirty climate-damaging coal power — the equivalent of taking 7 million cars off the road. These are the kinds of results we need in a world facing catastrophic climate change!
Please support our work to take Ontario forward to a renewable energy future. Our health, our environment and our economy depend on us building a low-carbon, high efficiency economy. Moving towards a renewable energy future will cement this province's position as a global leader on climate change and improving air quality and make our province a great place to live, work and play. But it won't happen without your support and without effective voices for change like the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.
These are the kinds of results support for the OCAA achieves.

Anna Sui the fashion designer – what recession?
Anna Sui is very famous fashion designer. She started envolvement in fashion design in her early ages. She started with her dolls and her neighbor's toy soldiers for her own personal version of Academy Awards. Well after beginning she started to make and design her own clothes from magazines. Aftr her graduating from high school in Detroit, Michigan She moved to New York City to attend parsons school of Design. Where she started to work with close friend Steven Meisel which is today's one of the world's top Fashion Photographers. Her early days as a stylist from Meisel's shoots include editorial for the Italian Fashion Magazine LEI.
The first of three her freestanding boutiques in Asia opened in May 1997 in Tokyo. The second opened in Osaka in the Fall of that same year. Another Osaka venue opened in 2000.
Everyone else is affected by recession, but Anna Sui still stays on the cutting edge. She says, "To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it." And no wonder. Her dresses attract celebrities like director Sofia Coppolla and Paris Hilton, who was wearing one of her designs on the red carpet right before she went to jail. Another time, Anna was asked to design a custom Barbie doll.
So, what is with these Chinese designers? As you should know, Vera Wang is very famous for her wedding gowns. And Jason Wu designed the first lady's (Michelle Obama's) inaugural gown. It looks like there is no recession for Chinese fashion designers. Let me correct that – it looks like there is no recession for talented fashion designers!

Q: Sketching a surface area and evaluating I just came across this exam question:
Let $$\ S = \{(x; y; z) : z = 3 - \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} ; x^2 + y^2 \le 9 \}$$
which is the surface of a cone.
(a) Sketch S.
(b) Evaluate $$\ \iint_S
x^2 + y^2 dS $$
For part B I'm just not sure how to do this.  If anyone can show me how I'd really appreciate it!

A: Parametrize $S$:
\begin{cases}
x=x\\
y=y\quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad\mbox{with}\; x^2+y^2\le 9\\
z=3-\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
\end{cases}
Then compute
$$
||r_x\times r_y||=\sqrt{2}
$$
It follows that
$$
\iint_{S}x^2+y^2\;dS=
\iint_{x^2+y^2\le9}(x^2+y^2)\sqrt{2}\;dA=
\int_{0}^3\int_0^{2\pi}r^2\sqrt{2}\;rd\theta dr=\frac{81\pi}{\sqrt{2}}
$$

The professional footballers associations of DR Congo (UFC) and England (PFA) are both shocked by the deaths in their football family of former Congo international player Pascal Kalema and former English winger Mitchell Cole.
Pascal Kalema Lukoki died at the age of 33. According the report of the players association of Congo (UFC), he died of a 'sudden disease' .
Kalema was the former goalkeeper of the national team of DR Congo, the Léopards. He represented his country at the 2002 and 2006 Africa Cup of Nations. And he played for renowned African clubs such as TP Mazembe ( 2001 -2003); As V club de Kinshasa ( 2003-2005); Saint ELoi Lupopo ( 2005-2006); Telestar du Gabon ( 2006-2007); DCMP de Kinshasa ( 2007-2009); Missiles du Gabon ( 2009); Cara de Brazzaville ( 2010) and Us Tshinkunku de Kananga ( 2011).
Mitchell Cole was only 27 years. He had to stop his professional footballer career in February 2011 due to a heart problem. It was too dangerous for him to continue playing professional football.
Nevertheless, Cole did make a handful of non-league appearances earlier this year, for Arlesey Town. But in March he gave up the game for good after watching Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch.
Cole was a former winger of Oxford United, Southend United and Stevenage. As a player of Stevenage, he scored during the FA Trophy final in 2007, which helped beat Kidderminster. It was a memorable goal, as he was the first player to score at the new Wembley Stadium.

← Making Stuff Up and the Plural of Anecdote is not Data.
This entry was posted in Common Sense, Zero Tolerance. Bookmark the permalink.
I believe you overlook the benefits of zero tolerance policies. They are actually of the utmost importance to our society.
Zero tolerance policies help us to not think for ourselves, so we can grow up to become good Democrats.
Whoops… I think that was what they called "rhetoric"!
Really- I read or hear about instances as these and can only shake my head in total disbelief… and when I had to live through one with my son, I developed zero tolerance for Zero Tolerance and those morons who approve of and display inclination to enforce it.
Me too, I recently went through this with one of my grandsons and believe me it was horrible but there was not way I would have allowed him to go to one of those "Alternative Schools." It was nasty and involved lawyers but we did prevail, now he's walking on pins and needles at his school. I thought I was done with the school BS when my kids grew up but it's even worse now for my grandchildren. Parents really need to stand up and get these unfair rules changed.
We're told that a 17 year old who commits murder isn't an adult, shouldn't be tried as an adult, shouldn't be punished as a adult. How can a child be guilty of anything?
Zero tolerance would stop, if parents starting pressing charges against the real criminals – the adults acting in loco parentis. At a minimum, the teacher and principal should face charges of aiding and abetting, contributing to the delinquency of a minor. In most cases, tampering with evidence and intimidating witnesses will be appropriate charges. In many cases, the union and school board would be up on RICO charges.
If we pretend that a child could be criminally responsible for bringing a nerf gun to school, then that child should have legal protections, against unreasonable searches and against interrogation.
I'll admit a personal experience with this kind of thing, and how it played out.
NOTE: This was before "Zero Tolerance" policies, and I believe this how all these cases should be handled.
When I was about eight, a friend hand-made me a blowgun. Just a straight tube, like a Bic pen without the writing parts. I had one dart, which was a straight (sewing) pin and some string. On a day I was going to his house after school, I'd brought it with me. The teacher saw it, and it was a trip to the principal's office for me.
No suspension. No expulsion. (Before "Zero Tolerance," remember?) It was confiscated, and I went back to class. I was told I could get it after school, and sternly warned not to bring it again. I did, and didn't, and that was the end of the matter.
The NERF gun and the plastic BBs should have been handled like this. The finger pointing is just ridiculous.
Thiss great article has reallky peaked myy interest.
I'm going to book ark your website and keep checking for new dedtails about once per week.
Your interesting help and advice helps a person like me and much more to my associates!


We're big fans of the micro trend. Small enough to give our wardrobes a boost with a well-deserved little spending spree, yet capable of working with what we already have in there, the micro trend for shades sweet as ice cream is the little pick me up our wardrobes need as we move into the new season and start to think about throwing off our coats and adding some colour to our outfits.
Pink or blue isn't just a question for the mums to be. It's a dilemma we're struck with when it comes to this bow-back dress by Boutique Moschino. The same classic cut with flirty detailing applies to each version but it's a question of pretty in pink or beautiful in blue? Both designs have got springtime weddings written all over them but which hue will you be wearing when the snow clears and the occasion calls for something chic?

Why Time Clinic for Profhilo in London?
Time Clinic boasts a proven track record in delivering outstanding results for London clients. Situated between Greater London and Essex, Time Clinic is within easy reach by road or rail, and has an excellent reputation as a clinic that offers Profhilo in the London area.
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid, making it a very popular and effective way to combat the signs of ageing.
Due to its effectiveness, Profhilo clinics in London are gaining in popularity. However many establishments offering aesthetic procedures are unregulated, putting patient safety at risk.
Time Clinic is Save Face approved, meaning it is highly regulated. Patients in London can be safe in the knowledge that Profhilo treatments at Time Clinic are administered by skilled professionals with high regards for patient wellbeing and safety.
What is Profhilo treatment?
Profhilo is a procedure designed to improve the tautness of the skin, while stimulating production of collagen and elastin. It is a revolutionary anti-ageing treatment, injected beneath the surface of the skin that works by slowly releasing hyaluronic acid, to encourage the production of collagen and elastin.
Profhilo is a non-dermal filler, which helps to hydrate the skin from within using high-grade hyaluronic acid (which is found naturally in the skin). Although it's a temporary enhancement, results can be seen and felt all year round with an appropriate number of treatments.
London patients can expect to see tighter, brighter and smoother skin from Profhilo injections, which may be applied to the face, neck or decolletage area.
How many Profhilo treatments are needed?
Time Clinic recommends patients should have a series of treatments, with sessions occurring at least four weeks apart to see maximum results. This injectable treatment is very popular among Time Clinic's London clients, and we're proud to offer this latest innovation in Profhilo treatment to new and existing patients from across Greater London and Essex.
Profhilo clinics London: More about Time Clinic
Profhilo treatment is deemed to be a very safe anti-ageing skin treatment since it contains Hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found within the skin. Profhilo has low inflammatory properties and is considered to be low risk since there are no chemical cross-linking agents contained within it.
Our London patients report minimal if any discomfort with Profhilo treatment and downtime after the procedure is minimal to none. Any risks from the treatment will be discussed during consultation.
Dr Manav Bawa is Time Clinic's medical director and an award-winning expert in skin cosmetics. He is a highly experienced practitioner, who together with his wife Yogeeta, ensures that all aesthetic procedures and treatments are completed to the highest standards.
Time Clinic London is Save Face accredited, so our Profhilo clients can rest in the knowledge that they are in safe hands at all times.

Ereignisse

Politik und Weltgeschehen

Asien

 Nach dem Tod Kublai Khans am 18. Februar wird sein Enkel Timur Khan Kaiser der mongolischen Yuan-Dynastie in China. Er setzt sich damit gegen seinen Bruder Kamala durch. Der alkoholabhängige Timur wird ein überraschend wohltätiger Herrscher, der die chinesischen Interessen vertritt, die Lehre des Konfuzius fördert und Kriege vermeidet.

Heiliges Römisches Reich

 um den 22. September: König Adolf von Nassau fällt verheerend in Thüringen ein, um das im Jahr davor von Landgraf Albrecht gekaufte Land in Besitz zu nehmen.

 Rudolf der Stammler erlässt als Herzog von Bayern die Rudolfinische Handfeste, die erstmals Rechte und Pflichten der Bürger Münchens festlegt.

 Der Lübecker Kanzler Albert von Bardewik lässt den nach ihm benannten Bardewikschen Codex als Fassung des Lübschen Rechts niederlegen.

West- und Südeuropa

 Zwischen dem französischen König Philipp IV. und dem englischen König Eduard I. kommt es zu einem Krieg um die englischen Festlandsbesitzungen in Frankreich (Guyenne), der sich bis 1297 hinzieht. Philipp ordnet an, das in Frankreich befindliche Vermögen der Riccardi aus Lucca wegen ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit der englischen Krone (seit 1274 deren wichtigste Kreditgeber) zu beschlagnahmen.
 Portugal unter König Dionysius und England schließen den ersten einer Reihe von Handelsverträgen. Die "Anglo-Portugiesische Allianz" gilt als die älteste Handelspartnerschaft zwischen zwei Staaten, die immer noch fortbesteht.

Stadtrechte und Urkundliche Ersterwähnungen

 München erhält das Stadtrecht.
 Erste urkundliche Erwähnung von Bellach, Brünisried, Ebenheid, Krün, Niedergösgen, Rolle, Saignelégier und Utzenfeld
 Magdeburg erwirbt das Schultheißenamt vom Erzbistum.

Wirtschaft

 Gaichatu, Herrscher der mongolischen Ilchane in Persien, versucht die durch seinen extravaganten Lebensstil und eine Rinderpest entleerte Staatskasse durch die Emission von zusätzlichem Geld wieder zu füllen. Am 13. August lässt er verkünden, dass jeder, der das neue "Papiergeld" nicht akzeptiere, mit dem Tode bestraft werde.
 Oktober bis November: Im Iran sind gedruckte längliche Geldscheine mit chinesischem Aufdruck und dem islamischen Glaubensbekenntnis in arabischer Schrift im Umlauf.
 um 1294: Lübeck gilt innerhalb der Hanse unangefochten als caput et principium omnium.

Religion

Papstwahl

 5. Juli: Pietro del Murrone wird nach zweijähriger Sedisvakanz von elf verbliebenen Kardinälen in Perugia zum Papst gewählt. Der fast 85-jährige Eremit steht im Ruf der Heiligkeit und wird bekannt durch einen Brief an die versammelten Kardinäle, den er als Haupt seiner Benediktinerkongregation geschrieben hat, und in welchem er sie auffordert, endlich zur Wahl zu schreiten. Nach einigen Tagen akzeptiert er trotz seiner Bedenken die Wahl. Dem Vorbild Christi am Palmsonntag folgend, reitet er am 28. Juli auf einem Esel in die Stadt L'Aquila ein, wo er den Namen Coelestin V. annimmt und in der von ihm gegründeten Kirche Santa Maria di Collemaggio, die inzwischen Hauptkirche seines Ordens ist, am 29. August gekrönt wird. Anschließend gerät er unter den Einfluss von Karl II., der ihn nach Neapel holt.
 27. September: Der Papst bestätigt die Regel des Cölestinerordens.
 13. Dezember: Papst Coelestin V., der mit seinem Amt hoffnungslos überfordert ist, dankt fünf Monate nach seiner Wahl freiwillig ab. Zuvor hat er noch eine Konstitution über die Abdankung eines Papstes erlassen. Dazu sieht er sich durch den Widerstand des Volkes veranlasst, das mit einer Demonstration vor dem Amtssitz des Papstes dessen Demission verhindern will. Nach Erlass der Konstitution legt Coelestin die päpstlichen Insignien nieder und tauscht die päpstlichen Gewänder wieder gegen die Mönchskutte.
 23. Dezember: Das Konklave 1294 wählt bereits am ersten Tag Kardinal Matteo Rubeo Orsini zum Papst, der die Wahl allerdings nicht annimmt.
 24. Dezember: Am zweiten Tag des Konklaves wird Benedetto Caetani zum Papst gewählt, der sich für den Namen Bonifatius VIII. entscheidet. Als erste Amtshandlung versucht er seinen Vorgänger inhaftieren zu lassen, um einer möglichen Kirchenspaltung zuvorzukommen. Coelestin kann jedoch bei seiner Überführung nach Neapel entkommen und flieht über Sant'Onofrio nach Rodi Garganico.

Sonstiges

 18. April: Meister Eckhart hält anlässlich des Osterfestes eine Predigt mit dem Thema: Pascha nostrum (erstes urkundlich gesichertes Datum). Nach der Rückkehr nach Erfurt wird er Prior des Dominikanerkonvents und Vikar der Ordensnation Thuringia. Dort entstehen bis 1298/1300 die Reden der Unterweisung.

 Das Bistum Freising wird zum Hochstift erhoben.
 Der Franziskaner Johannes von Montecorvino erreicht nach dem Tod des Kublai Khan Peking. Dessen Nachfolger Timur Khan lässt dem Missionar volle Freiheit in seinem Wirken.
 Der Dominikaner Dietrich von Freiberg wird zum Generalvikar des Ordens ernannt.
 Der Dominikaner, Inquisitor und Ordensschriftsteller Bernhard Gui lehrt Theologie in Castres.

Visualize decisions, outcomes, and resources at a glance using a decision tree made with Canva.
When simplifying complex and strategic challenges, it's common to use a decision tree to understand the consequences of each possible outcome. While they may seem and look complex, having a visual depiction of a number of different alternatives can actually make it easier to arrive at a decision.
Decision trees can be time-consuming to develop, especially when you have a lot to consider. But with Canva, you can create one in just minutes. Simply choose a decision tree template and start designing. All it takes is a few drops, clicks and drags to create a professional looking decision tree that covers all the bases. Leave the designing to Canva and concentrate on making the correct decisions.
Create a new Canva account to get started with your own decision tree designs.
Choose from our library of professionally created templates.
Upload your own photos or choose from over 1 million stock images.
Fix your images, add stunning filters and edit text.
Change the fonts. Choose from over 130 fresh fonts.
Presenting your decision tree in front of colleagues at work? Make a great impression and show that you care about the details by incorporating your company's brand assets into your design. Use your company's color palette to update certain elements of your decision tree and upload your company logo for a professional finishing touch.
To change colors, use the color wheel tool and pick any hue in the spectrum. If you have your brand's specific hex codes, just input it into the provided box and you're good to go. Uploading custom logos and images is also really easy. Head to the Uploads tab then select any JPEG, PNG or SVG file from your computer. Drag and drop your logo where you need it to go and you're done!
Creating a decision tree isn't always a solitary process; sometimes you'll need to collaborate with your colleagues or have your boss give you the green light before you present or distribute it to others. Click on the Share button; from there you can choose to share via email, social media or provide a direct link. You can also choose whether you want your recipient to view or edit your design.
With Canva, sharing and collaborating is super easy. You can even embed your designs onto websites and in blog posts. So, if you make a great decision, why not embed your decision tree into a blog case study and educate others on the process?
Make sure that your decision tree is easy to understand by highlighting key parts in the process.

mySymptoms Food Diary
MySymptoms Food Diary is an app that tracks symptoms of gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Users can log their symptoms, foods, bowel movements, and more through a diary interface. After these are logged, the app analyzes patterns. These can serve as educational guidance to an improved GI health. The more time and factors that are logged, the more accurate of analysis that can be provided by mySymptoms Food Diary.
MySymptoms Food Diary has many tools for tracking and learning about influencing factors to IBS. Since there are so many, it would be helpful if there was a way to automatically sync some of the information from other health apps. The app does a good job of breaking down contributing factors to IBS flare-ups. It also goes into detail on how it depicts trends over time.
On the results page, the app lists the "Top Suspects For" different symptoms users may experience. This could give more insight into how much certain factors contribute to IBS, so they can be better managed. Instead of offering only one graph, like similar apps, mySymptoms Food Diary has different types of graphs to depict IBS influencers from different perspectives.
The mySymptoms Food Diary only uses data manually logged by users. It does not currently offer any syncing capabilities. Since there are so many sections and subsections, it could help users save time by syncing available health data from phones or other devices. There are plans to make this update available in the future.

Q: Codeigniter session lost I use codeigniter for a project, my session is configured to use the mysql database :
$config['sess_cookie_name']     = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration']      = 7200;
$config['sess_expire_on_close'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_encrypt_cookie']  = FALSE;
$config['sess_use_database']    = TRUE;
$config['sess_table_name']      = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_match_ip']        = FALSE;
$config['sess_match_useragent'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update']  = 300;

In my controller i have a code like this :
$params = array(
        "type"      => $data['activite_name'],
        "activite"  => $data['activite'],
        "nom"       => $data['name'],
        "prenom"    => $data['fname'],
        "tel"       => $data['tel'],

#Load session library and save $params as session
$this->load->library('session');
$this->session->set_userdata($params);

#Test session
$sess_name = $this->session->userdata('name');
echo $sess_name;

#Load view
$this->load->view("templates/header_interne", $data);

People - Ancient Greece: Isaeus
One of the ten ancient Attic Orators, who flourished in early 4th century BC.
Isaeus in Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898) (Ἰσαῖος). One of the ten Attic orators. He was born at Chalcis, and came to Athens at an early age. He wrote judicial orations for others and established a rhetorical school at Athens, in which Demosthenes is said to have been his pupil. He lived between B.C. 420 and 348. Eleven of his orations are extant, all relating to questions of inheritance. They afford considerable information respecting this branch of the Attic law, of which he was a master, and are marked by intellectual acumen, clearness of statement, and vigour of style. Edited with the other orations by Reiske (1773), Bekker (1823-28), Dobson (1828), Baiter and Sauppe (1839-43); and separately by Sch�mann (1831); with notes by Burmann (1883), and by Scheibe in the Teubner series. See Blass, Attische Beredsamkeit, vol. ii.; May, Les Plaidoyers d' Is�e (Paris, 1876); and on the style, Lincke, De Elocutione Isaei (1884).

Isaeus in Wikipedia Isaeus (Latin; Greek Ἰσαῖος Isaios), fl. early 4th century BC. One of the ten Attic Orators according to the Alexandrian canon. He was a student of Isocrates in Athens, and later taught Demosthenes while working as a metic speechwriter for others. Only eleven of his speeches survive, with fragments of a twelfth. They are mostly concerned with inheritance, with one on civil rights. Dionysius of Halicarnassus compared his style to Lysias, although Isaeus was more given to employing sophistry. Life The time of his birth and death is unknown, but all accounts agree in the statement that he flourished (ἤκμασε) during the period between the Peloponnesian War and the accession of Philip II of Macedon, so that he lived between 420 BCE and 348 BCE.[1] He was a son of Diagoras, and was born at Chalcis in Euboea; some sources say he was born in Athens, probably only because he came there at an early age and spent the greater part of his life there. He was instructed in oratory by Lysias and Isocrates.[2] He was afterwards engaged in writing judicial orations for others, and established a rhetorical school at Athens, in which Demosthenes is said to have been his pupil. The Suda states that Isaeus instructed him free of charge, whereas Plutarch relates that he received 10,000 drachmas;[3] and it is further said that Isaeus composed for Demosthenes the speeches against his guardians, or at least assisted him in the composition. All particulars about his life are unknown, and were so even in the time of Dionysius, since Hermippus, who had written an account of the disciples of Isocrates, did not mention Isaeus at all. Works In antiquity there were 64 orations which bore the name of Isaeus, but only fifty were recognised as genuine by the ancient critics.[4] Of these, only eleven have come down to us; but we possess fragments and the titles of 56 speeches ascribed to him. The eleven extant are all on subjects connected with disputed inheritances; and Isaeus appears to have been particularly well acquainted with the laws relating to inheritance. Ten of these orations had been known ever since the revival of letters in the Renaissance, and were printed in the collections of Greek orators; but the eleventh, On Menecles' legacy (περὶ τοῦ Μενεκλέους κλήρου), was first published in 1785 from a Florentine manuscript by Tyrwhitt, and later by Orelli in 1814. Also, in 1815 Mai discovered and published the greater half of Isaeus' oration On Cleonymus' legacy (περὶ τοῦ Κλεωνύμου κλήρου). Isaeus is also known to have written a manual on speechwriting entitled the Technē or Idiai technai (ἰδίαι τέχναι, "Personal skills"), which, however, is lost.[5] List of extant speeches (available at the Perseus Digital Library) 1. On The Estate of Cleonymus 2. On the Estate of Menecles 3. On The Estate Of Pyrrhus 4. On the Estate of Nicostratus 5. On the Estate of Dicaeogenes 6. On the Estate of Philoctemon 7. On The Estate of Apollodorus 8. On The Estate of Ciron 9. On the Estate of Astyphilus 10. On The Estate Of Aristarchus 11. On the Estate of Hagnias 12. On Behalf of Euphiletus Oratorical style Although his orations were placed fifth in the Alexandrian canon, still we do not hear of any of the grammarians having written commentaries on him, except Didymus of Alexandria.[6] But we still possess the criticism upon Isaeus written by Dionysius of Halicarnassus; and by a comparison of the orations still extant with the opinions of Dionysius, we come to the following conclusion. The oratory of Isaeus resembles in many points that of his teacher, Lysias: the style of both is pure, clear, and concise; but while Lysias is at the same time simple and graceful, Isaeus evidently strives to attain a higher degree of polish and refinement, without, however, in the least injuring the powerful and impressive character of his oratory. The same spirit is visible in the manner in which he handles his subjects, especially in their skilful division, and in the artful manner in which he interweaves his arguments with various parts of the exposition, whereby his orations become like a painting in which light and shade are distributed with a distinct view to produce certain effects. It was mainly owing to this mode of management that he was envied and censured by his contemporaries, as if he had tried to deceive and misguide his hearers. He was one of the first who turned their attention to a scientific cultivation of political oratory; but excellence in this department of the art was not attained until the time of Demosthenes.

Die Burg Baltenstein ist die Ruine einer Spornburg auf  südwestlich des Weilers Baltenstein der Gemeinde Betzigau im Landkreis Oberallgäu in Bayern.

Die Burg wurde um 1200 von den Herren von Stein, die sich später von Baltenstein nannten, erbaut und 1239 mit Heinrich von Stein als Kemptner Dienstmann erwähnt. Im Jahr 1276 wurden die Herren von Baldenstein genannt. Die Burg war Lehen des Stiftes Kempten. Kurz nach 1289 starben die Herren von Stein mit Heinrich von Stein als letztem Erben der Familie aus und die Burg ging an die Schenken von Sulzberg, kam nach Zerstörung 1370 an den Kemptner Bürger Ruf Schellang und 1439 an das Kemptener Spital. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde die Burg verlassen und verfiel.

Die ehemalige kleine Burganlage zeigt heute noch auf einem 8 Meter hohen Findling die Fundamentreste aus Haustein eines fünfeckigen Wohnturms mit einer Grundfläche von 8,5 mal 15,5 Metern und einer Mauerstärke von 1,5 Metern sowie Wall- und Grabenreste.

What is the effect of the homeopathic plant treatment?
With homeopathic treatment, the plant as a whole will benefit because it fundamentally gets stronger. Healthy plants are less delicate and, therefore, less susceptible to suffer from pests and diseases.
Treatment with homeopathic globules is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Additionally, it is an inexpensive treatment because your plants are steadily becoming more and more robust and will require less treatment in the future.

Leach seeks court order to coach Alamo Bowl
Published 12:00 am CST, Tuesday, December 29, 2009
The lawyer for Mike Leach says the suspended Texas Tech coach did nothing wrong in how he treated a player with a "mild" concussion, and Leach wants a court's help to allow him to coach the Alamo Bowl on Jan. 2.
The motion for a temporary restraining order was filed Tuesday in Lubbock. An in-chambers hearing was set for Wednesday morning in the 99th District Court.
University officials suspended Leach on Monday while the school investigates a complaint from receiver Adam James and his family. James is the son of former NFL player Craig James, now a television sports analyst for ESPN.


The 210mm handle is wide compared to most floor pumps. The clamp to the pump's plunger is 31.8mm (feel free to substitute in your favorite bars).
The New Belgian Ramble Ride is a three-day bikepacking adventure from Fort Collins, Colorado, to Steamboat Springs. Each day riders are provided a lunch stop and at day's end they all camp together and enjoy New Belgian beers and a prepared dinner. The riding is difficult and participants must carry their own shelter, sleeping bag, etc. But the rewards include beautiful high-mountain scenery and the camaraderie of 100 other bikepackers. As a sponsor of the event Blackburn took the opportunity show off some new product that will hit stores this fall.
Blackburn has been in the inflation business for a long time. But they were admittedly on the back foot when Bontrager's Flash Charger hit the market. Designed with a compression chamber that a user pumps up to pressure and then releases to help seat tubeless tires, there are now many other manufacturers with similar products. Blackburn's Chamber Tubeless was four years in development. But while they may have been off the back initially, it may have been worth the wait. I use Bontrager's Flash Charger routinely and the feel of the Blackburn is far more robust. The base is cast steel, lending it weight and stability. The handle is super wide (by floor pump standards) at 210mm and clamps using a 31.8mm diameter.
The extra-long hose is really handy for when inflating a bike in a repair stand or on your car rack. The pressure gauge uses a domed lens and Blackburn reps said they used an aircraft quality gauge for accuracy and durability.
Blackburn uses an aircraft quality gauge in its new pump. The domed glass helps the numbers pop visually.
When seating a new tire, Blackburn recommends pumping to 160psi to charge the compression chamber. When you flip the switch for regular pumping, a really nice feature is that your efforts bypass the compression chamber. It has a much more direct feel when topping off a tire than some other chamber style floor pumps. The pump's head is serviceable and has a bleed valve.
Bottom line, the Chamber Tubeless Floor Pump is an attractive option. And though it's not cheap at $150, but it should work well for years to come.
Blackburn's Plugger Tubeless Repair Kit is made to be mounted for quick access. It comes with a Velcro strap, but you can also tape or zip tie it to your frame.
While again not first to market, Blackburn's take on a tubeless tire plug kit does bring a nice, quickly accessible mount to the party. It is made to be mounted directly to your frame or seatpost so that you can access it fast enough to actually retain some of your tire's pressure. Blackburn recommends strapping, taping, or zip tying it to your top tube. You can preload the insertion device with a "jerky" plug and store it that way. In the handle, the Plugger arrives with 10 extra "jerky strips." For larger holes, you can twist multiple plugs together. Your tubeless sealant will do the rest. In many cases you may need to add air, but this is still far faster than removing your wheel and tire and putting in a tube.
Digital tire pressure gauges are great for anyone racing cyclocross, riding fat or plus bikes, or anyone who likes to accurately experiment with tire pressures.
For riders who like to precisely experiment with tire pressures, Blackburn's new Honest Pressure Gauge is right up your alley. With a digital backlit display, swivel Schrader/Presta head and long life thanks to two 2032 batteries, the gauge is packed with smart features. Blackburn claims that it is accurate down to 1 psi and measures in 0.1-psi increments. The low profile head makes accessing short valves easier and it has a bleed valve for letting off small amounts of pressure. The gauge feels nice in the hand and comparing its reading against the gauge on the Chamber Tubeless Floor Pump showed very similar readings in the 30 psi range.
Blackburn's new Countdown headlight packs 1600 lumens in its brightest mode.
Blackburn continues to up its illumination game and the Countdown 1600 Headlight is the company's first true offroad light. Intended for mounting on a handlebar it has several features that will appeal to mountain bikers, but also commuters. The Countdown has six modes (Blitz, High, Medium, Low, Strobe, and Pulse) and the display shows current mode and real time battery life displayed in hours/minutes. Three buttons allow you to turn the light on/off and scroll quickly between modes. Tap the power button once and it cranks up directly to Blitz mode, especially handy when cresting a hill to begin a descent. Tap it again to return to previous mode. Clever.
Commuters will appreciate the light's side visibility and all users will like the narrow handlebar mount. The light arrives with three spacers to accommodate 35, 31.8 and 25.4mm handlebars. The mount is attached via a thumb screw and a small quick release secures the light to the bar mount.
The display on the Countdown shows both mode and battery life remaining in hours and minutes. The arrow buttons allow you to quickly access all six modes.
The light is IP67 waterproof, meaning you can actually submerge the light in up to one meter of water and it'll still work. The USB rechargeable light goes from empty to topped off in under three hours. At around 250 grams it is a bit heavier than you'd consider for a helmet light, but as intended it looks like a nice bar-mounted light. And the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly how long your battery is going to last in hours and minutes versus green/yellow/red LEDs or a percentage of battery left can't be beat.

Blackburn's new Chamber Tubeless Floor Pump is a sturdy tool for setting up tubeless tires and everyday inflation needs. The silver handle switches between "Chamber" and "Pump/Release" modes.

Digital tire pressure gauges are great for anyone racing cyclocross, riding fat or plus bikes or anyone who likes to accurately experiment with tire pressures.
One thing I hate about high pressure gauges and MTB tires is that I only need the first few degrees of display and fine tuning is impossible. Ugg this pump is no exception.
