La bataille de Noreia, qui se déroula en -113, fut la première livrée entre la République romaine et les tribus germaniques migrantes des Cimbres et des Teutons dans le cadre de la Guerre des Cimbres. Elle se termina par une défaite, presque un désastre, des Romains.

Histoire
Les Cimbres et les Teutons ont quitté leurs terres natales autour de la mer Baltique pour se diriger vers le sud et se sont heurtés aux Scordiques, qu'ils ont vaincus. À la suite de cette victoire, ils sont arrivés en Norique où vivent les Taurisques, alliés de Rome. Incapables de faire face à cette menace, les Taurisques demandent l'aide de Rome, et le consul Gnaeus Papirius Carbo conduit ses légions en Norique, prenant position sur des hauteurs près d'Aquilée.

Carbo exige que les tribus germaniques se retirent du territoire des Taurisques, et les Cimbres, qui ont entendu des histoires d'autres tribus à propos de la puissance de Rome, accèdent à cette exigence. Néanmoins, Carbo n'est pas prêt à laisser les Cimbres et les Teutons se retirer en paix et leur envoie des guides, chargés officiellement de les reconduire aux frontières, pour les mener dans une embuscade qu'il a préparée. Mais, qu'ils aient été prévenus par leurs propres éclaireurs ou par l'un des guides, les tribus germaniques éventent le plan romain et une bataille s'ensuit près de Noreia (Neumarkt in Steiermark dans la moderne Styrie ). Les légions romaines, surprises, n'ont pas le temps de prendre leur ordre de bataille classique et sont taillées en pièces par leurs adversaires. Ayant subi de lourdes pertes, les Romains se retirent en désordre et seule une violente tempête les sauve de l'annihilation en empêchant les Cimbres et les Teutons de les poursuivre.

Carbo réussit à s'échapper avec ce qui reste de ses légions et retourne à Rome, où il est démis de son poste de consul. Rome se prépare alors à une invasion de l'Italie par les Cimbres et les Teutons mais, au lieu de cela, les tribus germaniques se dirigent vers la Gaule. Quelques années plus tard, en -105, elles y infligent aux Romains une défaite encore plus lourde lors de la bataille d'Arausio.

Faith That Works
http://www.pioneerchristianfellowship.org/wp-content/uploads/FTWpart4%20june%2023%202019.mp3
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Kościół Trójcy Świętej – rzymskokatolicki kościół filialny znajdujący się w Bycinie, w diecezji gliwickiej, przy ul. Kasztanowej. Należy do parafii św. Marcina w Paczynie.

Historia
4 listopada 1990 roku podjęto decyzję o budowie nowego kościoła. Działkę pod budowę świątyni ofiarowali państwo Helmut i Barbara Bomba. Projekt i inne potrzebne dokumenty opracował architekt Janusz Iworek z Krakowa.

Kościół budowano w latach 1993-2000. 25 września 1993 bp Jan Wieczorek poświęcił kamień węgielny.

Dzwony zakupiono w 1993 roku. Ołtarz jest wykonany z jasnego granitu. Nad tabernakulum oraz figurą Chrystusa umieszczony jest witraż oka opatrzności i gołębicy. W kościele jest jeszcze dużo witraży.

Konsekracja odbyła się 2 września 2000 roku i została połączona z udzieleniem sakramentu bierzmowania. Dokonał ich bp Gerard Kusz.

Minnesota friends and AU members: find your caucus. Attend.
The major party caucuses are tomorrow, Tuesday Feb 4th, and there are fewer better ways to participate in your democratic form of government than attending… other than actually, you know, *voting*. It's where the agenda for the parties is set at the local level.
Does that sound like an agenda you want to see promoted, or given to your local politicians as the supposed will of the people they represent? Then please attend your local caucus, and make sure the agendas YOU want to see, those that support separation of Church and State, are the ones that are represented.

Westpac has launched its new mobile payment sticker, enabling customers to make payments with any mobile device.
The Westpac PayTag, can be attached to the back of a mobile device (or any other suitable item), enabling customers to make quick, secure contactless payments of up to $80 simply by holding their smartphone up to a contactless terminal.
Westpac's Chief Product Officer Shane Howell said feedback from the Westpac PayTag trial earlier this year had been overwhelmingly positive.
Developed in partnership with Gemalto, Westpac PayTag is protected by secure encryption technology making it just as safe as an ordinary contactless card. If a Westpac PayTag is lost or stolen it is covered by MasterCard's Zero Liability policy for unauthorised transactions.
Howell said New Zealanders were embracing mobile payments with less cash per capita circulating here than in other OECD countries, and Westpac PayTag was just one of the solutions being looked at by the bank.
Westpac PayTag is available via Westpac's website, contact centre and in branches and customers' first PayTag will be free for a limited time.


Did You Know That Landscaping Can be A Real Stress-Reducer?
You have a hectic schedule, in that you have a family to take care of, and a stressful job. What you really need is something to reduce all that stress that you have been experiencing lately – something that can really be productive at the same time. The yard needs to be fixed up, so why don't you try landscaping?
You might think that landscaping can be even more stress, but really, landscaping is only as much stress as you let it be. In fact, if you just take your time and find the fun in making your yard look beautiful, you can make it into a relaxing hobby.
Start by mowing the lawn – now, this is something that you will only have to do once per week in accordance with the spring and the summer climates. However, if you live in a climate that remains temperate throughout the year, you will have to keep the lawn trimmed on a weekly basis.
If you have a smaller lawn, it should only take about a half hour to mow it. If you have a larger lawn, you have the option of getting a lawnmower that you can drive around. However, if you choose this landscaping option, you will need to be aware of the safety precautions.
The next thing that you need to do, once the lawn is sufficiently cut, is to decide what kind of plants you want for the yard. Some people, in an effort to minimize the upkeep, choose to get silk flowers. This might be an option for you if you think that you won't have the necessary amount of time to water all of the flowers.
However, if you do choose silk flowers, be sure that you choose the kind that look as realistic as possible. If you don't, it could really lessen the appeal of your lawn decorations. Also, be aware that although the flowers will not require any watering, frequent rainfall can result in the flowers getting moldy.
If you choose real flowers, pruning them and making sure they get enough soil is another excellent example of how landscaping can be a stress-reducer. You will need nutrient-rich soil so that the flowers can grow. Planting and smoothing the soil can feel relaxing between your fingers.
For more information on the relaxing properties of landscaping, go to your local bookstore. In the gardening section you are sure to find books on the topic. You can also search the internet for various reputable websites on the topic.


Inmates walk in the Relay for Life at CTF.
Central facility at the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) Soledad was the staging ground for the second Relay For Life Cancer walk, Fighting Cancer From Within, organized by The Balanced Reentry Activity Group (BRAG) and The American Cancer Society (ACS).
The event took place on the Central Yard, with 79 teams and 700-plus participants in attendance. This one-day event raised nearly $9,000 to help the fight against cancer, as well as bring awareness to the inmate population.
Nearly $5,000 of the donations were solicited/raised in part by inmates, with the remainder of the donations being contributed by the inmates' family and friends via the Facility C Team BRAG page at the American Cancer Society/Relay For Life of Salinas website.
The June 10 event consisted of Presentation of Colors, Invocation, Survivors Testimony, Guest Speakers, Survivor/Caregivers Lap, Team Laps, Luminaria Ceremony and Closing Remarks.
A total of 50 free staff and outside volunteers from ACS-Relay for Life Salinas, Mentoring A Touch From Above (MATFA) and "Love thy Neighbor Movement" attended. Entertainment was provided by Ruben Torres, from "Love thy Neighbor" as he brought the Reggae Band I-Abide and DJ DSERN, who performed/played music in between guest speakers and throughout the day.
The event was made possible by a combined effort with BRAG Executive Body, CTF Administration, custody and free staff, ACS, various outside volunteers, and inmates working together for the greater purpose of fighting cancer.
The event wouldn't have been possible without the support of Warden S. Hatton, Community Resource Manager A. Tamayo, Public Information Officer Lt. R. Ramon, Associate Warden K. Hoffman and BRAG sponsors N. Calderon and T. Pena.
Andy Nuno, from Chopper Stop Deli, donated lunch for all the volunteers. Branna Dobrzanski and her Relay For Life volunteers, free staff volunteers, MATFA (M. Washington/guests) and Love Thy Neighbor (R. Torres/Guests) made this a memorable event for the inmate population.
Luminaries line the walkway at CTF.
That is awesome, very nice actions from everybody who participated.

Crooks Steal 4,000 iPADS From Same JFK Hanger As 1978 Goodfellas Heist
It's going to be a nice Christmas for the friends and family of a couple of crooks who broke into JFK airport and stole over 4,000 iPad Mini's worth a staggering $1.5 million.
The crooks, being described as "brazen," used one of the airports own forklifts to load two huge pallets of iPad Minis onto a truck just after midnight on Monday.

They pulled up to the side of the airport building that faces onto a street and has less security than the other side, which is accessible from the airport tarmac.
Sources believe someone let them into the area and then let them out after they grabbed the iPads.

Where Is Potassium Found in the Human Body?
Potassium, a major electrolyte and an essential mineral, can be found in all cells of the human body. The concentrations of potassium found outside of the body's cells are lower than those within. The differences in the levels of both potassium and sodium across cell membranes influence the osmotic balance and the actions of the sodium-potassium pump in animals and humans.
Positive potassium ions, or cations, play an important role in nerve and brain functions, and they are vital to the transmission of all nerve impulses. Potassium is one of the 10 most common elements found in the human body by mass, with only the major minerals phosphorus and calcium found in greater abundance.

Home » Entertainment » 12 Pop, Rock and Jazz Concerts to Check Out in N.Y.C. This Weekend
03/14/2019 Entertainment
Our guide to pop and rock shows and the best of live jazz happening this weekend and in the week ahead.
ANTIBALAS at Brooklyn Bowl (March 15-16, 8 p.m.). This Brooklyn-based Afrobeat band is celebrating 20 years together with a two-night run, during which they will perform the kind of large-ensemble party music — think a vibrant horn section and multiple percussionists — that's made them so irresistible for the past two decades. Their work incorporates dub, funk and jazz, creating a rich, textured version of the kind of global dance sound that's become increasingly popular over the course of their career. On Friday, the music collective Innov Gnawa will open, and on Saturday, the hip-hop group Poetic Thrust will kick things off.
718-963-3369, brooklynbowl.com
GARY CLARK JR. at the Beacon Theater (March 21-23, 8 p.m.). As a gifted blues guitarist, this Austin, Tex., native could easily stick to traditional sounds. But Clark continues to make songs that are expansive and forward-looking. He channels his remarkable technical ability toward hard-edge, political and genre-bending music that is nevertheless rooted in the blues, or at least its angst and earnestness. On his most recent album, "This Land," he tackles racism and American politics through tunes that are anything but easy listening — and all the better for it.
212-465-6000, beacontheatre.com
GUSTER at the Beacon Theater (March 16, 8 p.m.). Since the members of this alternative rock band met during orientation at Tufts University in 1991, they have made consistently upbeat and pleasantly eccentric albums. Their latest, "Look Alive," is their first release in four years, but their enthusiasm hasn't dulled — at least if the album's bright, polished, synth-driven indie-pop track list is any indication. Its sound is as approachable and harmony-rich as that of the songs that earned the still-independent band spots on mainstream soundtracks like "The O.C." and "Wedding Crashers."
[Read about the events that our other critics have chosen for the week ahead.]
HABIB KOITÉ at Le Poisson Rouge (March 15, 8 p.m.). A virtuosic guitarist, Koité has cultivated his own niche within the string-rich musical culture of his native Mali. He uses unorthodox tunings and incorporates a global mix of flamenco and blues into his interpretation of dansa, a traditional form of Malian music from his hometown, Kayes. The resulting sound has reached international audiences and gained fans like Bonnie Raitt. Perhaps best known for his approachable 1998 album, "Ma Ya," Koité, 61, continues to act as an ambassador of Mali's music.
212-505-3474, lpr.com
LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III at Sony Hall (March 15, 8 p.m.). You might have already seen this show — it's the live version of Wainwright's recent Netflix special, "Surviving Twin," which itself is the filmed version of a one-man set he's been performing since 2013. "Surviving Twin" takes its title from a Wainwright song of the same name, which is about the singer-songwriter's relationship with his father, Loudon Wainwright Jr.; the show, though, is about relationships between fathers and sons more broadly, including Wainwright's son and fellow performer, Rufus.
212-997-5123, sonyhall.com
DALE WATSON AND KINKY FRIEDMAN at Union Pool (March 16, 7 p.m.). Two Texas titans visit Brooklyn this week to perform a brand of country music that's so traditional, it has made them outsiders. Watson favors a polished rockabilly shuffle that sounds straight out of the 1960s, while Friedman tempers his irreverent, occasionally profane tunes with twangy guitar and banjos. Both are beloved for their willingness to buck trends (and any chance of mainstream success) and deftly play country music that transports listeners anywhere — even in Williamsburg — to an old-fashioned honky-tonk.
718-609-0484, union-pool.com
NATALIE WEINER
CARLA BLEY TRIO at Jazz Standard (March 19-20, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.). Unlike her compositions — a lovable admixture of American folk songs, avant-garde jazz, soft rock and Romanticism — Bley, at age 82, remains a rather inaccessible figure. She doesn't tour often, and she has long preferred the scholarly remove of a composer's identity to the more public one of a bandleader. All of which makes this appearance, featuring her longstanding trio (Bley on piano, Steve Swallow on bass and Andy Sheppard on saxophones), something especially worth seeking out.
212-576-2232, jazzstandard.com
MARÍA GRAND at Roulette (March 21, 8 p.m.). A dauntless young tenor saxophonist whose concept and ambition seem to grow broader by the week, Grand is unwilling to accept anything as a given — stylistically, culturally, whatever. This concert, which she has titled "Music as a User's Manual," is meant to upend the passive relationship between audience and performance. How will she achieve this? That, presumably, depends on you as much as on her. But we know this: The first portion of the night will feature Grand alone, on saxophone and vocals; she'll then be joined by Ganavya Doraiswamy on vocals, Joel Ross on vibraphone and Rajna Swaminathan on mridangam, for a separate set.
917-267-0368, roulette.org
LARRY GRENADIER at Zürcher Gallery (March 15, 8 p.m.). A leading jazz bassist since the 1990s, when he was a member of Brad Mehldau's watershed trio, Grenadier recently put out his first solo-bass recording, "The Gleaners." The album feels like a peek into a private world, as if you're discovering the poems of a great writer who was known only for his essays. (In actuality, it's inspired by film: specifically, Agnes Varda's famed documentary about potato harvesters, "The Gleaners and I.") For much of the record Grenadier focuses on arco playing, showing great range: He can use the bow to create spritzed, lively rhythms or a luminous, slow immersion. Abstraction would seem inherent to a solo-jazz-bass performance, but there's nothing dreamlike about this album; his sound is as direct and powerful as it is elegant.
galeriezurcher.com
THANDISWA MAZWAI AND NDUDUZO MAKHATHINI at the Africa Center (March 15-16, 8 p.m.). Mazwai is an A-list celebrity in South Africa, where she upholds a long tradition of politically engaged pop singing. She rose to prominence in the 1990s as the lead vocalist in Bongo Maffin, a famed group in the kwaito genre (a kind of house music). In the years since she has become known as a solo artist carrying on the legacies of Miriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie and other vocalists who blended jazz, pop and South African folk music. Here she appears alongside Makhathini, a young pianist with a thriving career as both a sideman and a solo artist, always guided by an attentiveness to music's potential for healing and renewal. This concert is presented as part of the Salon Africana series, which features performers chosen by the vocalist Somi.
salonafricana.com
CHARLES TOLLIVER at the Blue Note (March 14-17, 8 and 10:30 p.m.). A trumpeter with a strong, unvarnished attack, Tolliver launched his recording career in 1968 with the release of "Paper Man," an epochal record reflecting the blend of post-bop, psychedelic rock, salsa and increasingly militant funk being played around New York City at the time. He celebrated the 50th anniversary of the record's release last year in a triumphant performance at the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, and this weekend at the Blue Note he will reprise the reprisal once again. In addition to the alto saxophonist Gary Bartz — who was in the quintet that recorded the original album — he will be joined by the pianist Vijay Iyer, the bassist Buster Williams and the drummer Lenny White.
212-475-8592, bluenote.net
'UNFORGETTABLE: THE MAGIC OF NAT KING COLE' at Flushing Town Hall (March 15, 8 p.m.). The pianist and vocalist Nat King Cole — who died in 1965, at the height of his fame — would have turned 100 on Sunday. In honor of his life and legacy, the svelte and subtly inventive vocalist Sachal Vasandani will interpret songs from Cole's repertoire with an all-star band: Shai Maestro on piano, Reuben Rogers on bass and Obed Calvaire on drums.
718-463-7700, flushingtownhall.org
GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO
Times Talks
KAREN O AND DANGER MOUSE at Florence Gould Hall (March 20, 7 p.m.). Jon Pareles, chief pop music critic for The New York Times, hosts an evening of music and conversation with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O and the musician and producer Danger Mouse. On Friday, the duo will release "Lux Prima," their first-ever collaboration. The audience will get to hear a selection of songs from the album during this discussion.

Gyan cell received a signal which indicated that Jai, Haroon and Roshan are together. Mallik then tells Siddharth that this whole thing was an undercover operation and only she, Gyan and Vedant knew this and keep insisting that she wants to talk to PM. Mallik along with everyone involved in this operation gets in a conference with PM and updates them about the whole operation. She tells everyone that Jai did all this to gain confidence of Haroon and stop the virus attack. She also updates the PMO that the virus delivery is scheduled at 8:30 p.m. Aditya is furious that they have freed a man who is responsible for killing thousands of people. Siddharth backs Mallik and asks PM to support Jai so that they can get the virus. Mallik playa a video where Jai updates everyone about the reasons of all this being kept a secret. Aditya is left with no other option than to support this mission and let everyone know that all would go through an enquiry. Prithvi tells Aditya that he thinks ATU did the right thing by not telling others as they didn't want to put him in jeopardy. Khosla sends an email to hospital officials with some information about Dr. Devyani. Kiran tries to rescue the kid but her attempt fails as they are captured by kids father. In the end, Haroon shows a video about the deadly virus to Roshan and tells him that they got a 500 crore contract to release this in 6 big cities in India and virus delivery is at 8:30 pm.

Officers Down
bikecop136
Henderson County sheriff's deputies are dead and a third is wounded after a shooting in Payne Springs.
That word from Lt. Pat McWilliams of the Henderson County Sheriff's Department.
The deputies were shot and killed today while answering a domestic disturbance call.
A sheriff's department official says another deputy was wounded -- as was the suspected gunman.
A spokeswoman for East Texas Medical Center in Tyler says the hospital had been advised to expect two patients -- believed to be a deputy and the suspect. No conditions were immediately available.
The wounded deputy's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
A woman at the rural home wasn't hurt.
The sheriff's department tells CBS 11 News that someone used a high-powered rifle to shoot the deputies.
Chopper 11 showed many police officers on the scene, which is in a rural area.
McWilliams says one of the officers killed was in uniform. The other slain deputy is a plain clothes investigator.
McWilliams says the shootings happened just hours after the deputies attended the county's peace officers memorial to honor those slain in the line of duty.
Payne Springs is a community of about 700, located 60 miles southeast of Dallas.

Although officers face multiple domestic disturbances in a single shift, it just shows how dangerous these calls really are. Rough stuff.
Romans 13:4 "For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."

Thursday - January 25, 2007
District Attorney Mike Nifong is being set up to take the fall for his unethical handling of the "Duke Lacrosse" rape case. There are however more than one guilty party in this sorry mess, including the media, the cops and most importantly ... the Duke professors who publicly vilified the lacrosse players long before they ever went to trial. These tenured leftist bigots pushed Nifong and convicted the boys more than a year ago. Now they refuse to back down even after their hasty assumptions and actions have proven to be false. For further enlightenment I suggest you read "Dukes Tenured Vigilantes" by Charlotte Allen in the current issue of the WEEKLY STANDARD. Here is an excerpt ...
Mike Nifong's handling of the case was clearly outrageous. But he would probably not have gone so far, indeed would not have dared to go so far, had he not been egged on by two other groups that rushed just as quickly to judge the three accused young men guilty of gross and racially motivated carnal violence. Despite the repeated attempts by the three to clear themselves, a substantial and vocal percentage--about one-fifth--of the Duke University arts and sciences faculty and nearly all of the mainstream print media in America quickly organized themselves into a hanging party. Throughout the spring of 2006 and indeed well into the late summer, Nifong had the nearly unanimous backing of this country's (and especially Duke's) intellectual elite as he explored his lurid theories of sexual predation and racist stonewalling.
"They fed off each other," said Steven Baldwin, a Duke chemistry professor who finally broke his faculty colleagues' own wall of silence on October 24, publishing a letter in the Duke student newspaper, the Chronicle, denouncing his fellow professors for what he called their "shameful" treatment of Seligmann and Finnerty and rebuking the Duke administration for having "disowned its lacrosse-playing student athletes." In April, Duke president and English professor Richard Brodhead had abruptly suspended not only Seligmann and Finnerty but also the remainder of the Duke lacrosse season, plus a third player, Ryan McFadyen (also recently reinstated), who had nothing to do with the alleged assault but had made the mistake of sending an email to his teammates on the early morning of March 14 describing a plan to "kill" and "skin" some "strippers" in his dorm room (like the "cotton shirt" remark, this was another tasteless joke, parodying Bret Easton Ellis's novel American Psycho). That same day, April 5, Brodhead told the lacrosse team's coach, Michael Pressler, that he had until the end of the day to leave campus for good.
There was a fascinating irony in this. Postmodern theorists pride themselves in discerning what they call "metanarratives." They argue that such concepts as, say, Christianity or patriotism or the American legal system are no more than socially constructed tall tales that the postmodernists can then "deconstruct" to unmask the real purpose behind them, which is (say the postmodernists) to prop up societal structures of--yes, you guessed it--race, gender, class, and white male privilege. Nonetheless, in the Duke lacrosse case the theorists manufactured a metanarrative of their own, based upon the fact that Durham, North Carolina, is in the South, and the alleged assailants happened to be white males from families wealthy enough to afford Duke's tuition, while their alleged victim was an impoverished black woman who, as she told the Raleigh News and Observer in a credulous profile of her published on March 25, was stripping only to support her two children and to pay her tuition as a student at North Carolina Central University, a historically black state college in Durham that is considerably less prestigious than Duke. All the symbolic elements of a juicy race/gender/class/white-male-privilege yarn were present. The theorists went to town.
The metanarrative they came up with was three parts Mandingo and one part Josephine Baker: rich white plantation owners and their scions lusting after tawny-skinned beauties and concocting fantasies of their outsize sexual appetites so as to rape, abuse, and prostitute them with impunity. It mattered little that all three accused lacrosse players hailed from the Northeast, or that there have been few, if any, actual incidents of gang rapes of black women by wealthy white men during the last 40 years. Karla Holloway's online essay was replete with imagery derived from this lurid antebellum template. She described the accuser and her fellow stripper as "kneeling" in "service to" white male "presumption of privilege," and as "bodies available for taunt and tirade, whim and whisper" in "the subaltern spaces of university life and culture." On April 13, Wahneema Lubiano, a Duke literature professor, wrote in another online article, "I understand the impulse of those outraged and who see the alleged offenders as the exemplars of the upper end of the class hierarchy, the politically dominant race and ethnicity, the dominant gender, the dominant sexuality, and the dominant social group on campus."

Nifong Faces Additional Charges
N.C. State Bar augments ethics complaint against Duke lacrosse prosecutor
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - January 24, 2007, 3:28 PM EST
The state bar lodged new and more serious ethics charges Wednesday against the district attorney in the Duke lacrosse case, accusing him of withholding evidence from the defense and lying to both to the court and bar investigators.
Mike Nifong—who withdrew from the case earlier this month—could be disbarred if convicted by a disciplinary board. The bar previously charged Nifong with making misleading and prejudicial comments about the athletes under suspicion.
The new charges are tied to Nifong's decision to use a private lab for DNA testing as his office investigated allegations three men raped a 28-year-old stripper at a team party last March.
Those tests uncovered genetic material from several men on the woman's underwear and body, but none from any lacrosse player. The bar complaint alleges that those results were not released to the defense and that Nifong repeatedly said in court he had turned over all evidence that could benefit the defense.
The new charges "have significantly increased the chances for a serious sanction, possibly including suspension or disbarment," said Thomas Metzloff, a Duke law professor and member of the bar's ethics committee, which is not involved in prosecuting the case against Nifong.
Nifong's trial on the ethics charges is set for May, though bar officials said Wednesday they expect it to be delayed until June. He declined to comment Wednesday.
"I'd say any time any charges are filed with the state bar, they're all serious, and we want to make sure we handle them all properly," said his attorney David Freedman.

Churchill Fired
I only want to post this because Vilmar said it wouldn't happen. And in fact, it hasn't happened until the fat lady sings… or the appeals run out.
BOULDER, Colo.—The University of Colorado announced Monday that it will dismiss controversial professor Ward Churchill.
"Today, I issued to Professor Churchill a notice of intent to dismiss him from his faculty position at the University of Colorado Boulder," CU Interim Chancellor Phil DiStefano said Monday afternoon.
Churchill has 10 days to appeal which entails making a request to have the university president or chancellor forward the recommendation to the faculty senate Committee on Privilege and Tenure. A special panel will then conduct hearings on the matter and make a recommendation to the president on whether grounds for dismissal are supported.
Another committee found Churchill guilty of research misconduct and another panel recommended that he be fired because of "repeated and deliberate" infractions of scholarship rules.
Having reread this before posting, Vilmar may yet be vindicated.

Leftist Loon
Noam Chomsky is the poster child for the Looney Left. In fact, he is probably their "prophet" having taken an anti-American position on just about every issue in his books and teachings. He just concluded a trip to Lebanon where he sucked up to Hezbollah and made all kind of wild accusations about the US, Israel and the Hezbollah "freedom fighters".
All he has accomplished is to further inflame the region and encourage Hezbollah to continue its forty year terrorist war against Israel. As usual, the facts get twisted beyond belief. Chomsky conveniently forgets that the reason Israel invaded Lebanon was because Hezbollah was sitting on the border lobbing missiles and bombs into Israel. Israel finally had enough but Chomsky totally ignores that aspect of the conflict - just as he ignores anything but his own dyspeptic agenda.
Chomsky Hails Hezbollah On TV
Leftist American professor says U.S. leading terrorist state
May 17, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern
Hosted by Hezbollah, leftist professor Noam Chomsky ended his visit to Lebanon with a tour of Al-Khiam Prison where he declared the terrorist group's success in removing Israel from the south was "a victory for all the peoples that fight injustice and oppression."
In a broadcast by Hezbollah's Al Manar television Sunday, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Chomsky was shown embracing Hezbollah leader Nabil Qauq at Al-Khiam, where Israel kept prisoners during its occupation of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah was credited with liberating the area after Israel withdrew in 2000.
The U.S. State Department lists Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization." Hezbollah Sec.-Gen. Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah frequently calls for destruction of the U.S. In a February speech aired on Al Manar, he led a crowd in chants, "America, America you are the Great Satan … America, America, the enemy of the Muslims … Those who have come at night, like bats, will hear Lebanon saying: Death to America."
On Saturday, Al Manar quoted Chomsky responding to Hezbollah's designation by the U.S. as a terrorist state. The professor said that "if the U.S. was to stick to the clear and precise definition of terrorism in its code of laws, it would be the leading terrorist state."
A reporter asked Chomsky how the U.S. views his visit. "I don't know what their response will be, and I don't care," he said.
- Read the rest at WorldNet Daily...
That last really says it all, doesn't it? Chomsky doesn't care what the US thinks of his actions. What he fails to realize is the American people, not just the government, are taking a real dim view of his anti-American hatred. Maybe if he had his citizenship revoked he could stay over in Lebanon, Syria or Iran where I'm sure his views are more properly appreciated and admired.

Professor Speak With Forked Tongue
When we last checked up on Chief Babbling Bulls**t he was travelling around the country stirring up trouble at every leftist organization he could find and defending his public contention that the people killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11 were "little Eichmanns" (Wikipedia: "Adolph Eichmann") and deserved to die.
His teaching schedule at the University Of Colorado had been cut back to only one class while an investigation was underway into charges of plagiarism and misconduct. The investigative committee finally reached a verdict. Guilty. So long, Ward. Enjoy your retirement. Sue if you want. You lawyer will probably speak with a forked tongue also. Those 3,000 innocent souls who perished on 9/11 are at peace. You sir, still have a lot to answer for ...
Colorado Professor Cited for Misconduct
May 16, 2006, 3:14 PM EDT
BOULDER, Colo. (AP)—An investigation of a professor who likened some of the Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi found serious cases of misconduct in his academic research, including plagiarism and fabrications, a University of Colorado spokesman said Tuesday.
One member of the five-person investigative committee recommended that ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill be fired, and four recommended he be suspended, university spokesman Barrie Hartman said.
Churchill, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, declined immediate comment Tuesday.
The professor touched off a firestorm with an essay relating the 2001 terrorist attacks to U.S. abuses abroad. The essay referred to some World Trade Center victims as "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, who carried out Adolf Hitler's plan to exterminate European Jews during World War II.
University officials had earlier determined Churchill could not be fired for his comments about the terrorist attacks, but they launched an inquiry into allegations about his research.
The committee's 125-page report said Churchill falsified, fabricated and plagiarized some of his research, did not always comply with standards for listing other authors' names and failed to follow accepted practice for reporting results.
The decision on his future at the university will be made by school officials later this year. Churchill has said if he is fired, he will sue.
Churchill's wife, Natsu Saito, who also teaches in the ethnic studies department, said Tuesday she had resigned her tenured teaching position at the school but said she and Churchill have no plans to leave Boulder.
In her resignation letter, Saito accused the university of reneging on promises to her and the department, ignoring racial harassment of the department and individuals, and treating Churchill unfairly. She said her decision to resign was not prompted by the pending report.

Thursday - April 27, 2006
I just got a hot tip from John over at StopTheACLU.com about the lunatic professor at Northern Kentucky University who was recently fired for destroying an anti-abortion display with help from her students. I turns out she is probably going to do a little jail time and pay a fine along with the students involved. Do you think this fascist beeyatch will learn a lesson about freedom of speech? Nah. Leftists never learn anything. Too stoopid ...
A professor and six students at Northern Kentucky University were charged Wednesday with misdemeanors related to the April 12 destruction of an anti-abortion display on campus.
Sally Jacobsen of the literature and language department, has been charged with criminal mischief, theft by unlawful taking and criminal solicitation. The third charge relates to evidence that she encouraged students to participate in the destruction, County Attorney Justin Verst said.
The six students, who range in age from 21 to 27, were charged with criminal mischief and theft by unlawful taking. The theft charge is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $500 fine. The criminal mischief and solicitation charges are class B misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $250 fine.
Verst said additional students might be charged as their identities become known. Four hundred crosses representing aborted fetuses were pulled from the ground and thrown in trash cans around campus. A sign explaining the temporary display, which had been approved by university officials as an expression of free speech, was also removed.
Jacobsen told reporters that she had "invited" students in her graduate-level British literature course to exercise free-speech by destroying the display. She said she was offended by the simulated cemetery, which she considered intimidating and harmful to women who might be considering abortions. NKU's campus newspaper, the Northerner, published photos of Jacobsen dismantling part of the display.
Since the incident became public, NKU's president has received hundreds of e-mails from throughout the country condemning the professor's actions. She was placed on leave last week, and substitutes were assigned to her classes for the rest of the semester…

John Trever—The Albuquerque Journal
A college can be stripped of federal funding if its law school denies full access to military recruiters because it opposes the "don't ask, don't tell'' policy on gays and lesbians in the armed forces, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday.
The court rejected law schools' arguments that requiring them to treat the Pentagon like any other employer violated their freedom of speech by forcing them to spread a message they oppose.
"Accommodating the military's message does not affect the law schools' speech, because the schools are not speaking when they host interviews and recruiting receptions,'' Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the 8-0 decision. Justice Samuel Alito, who was not on the court when the case was argued in December, did not participate.

Quote Of The Day: "she didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."
Winner of the Congressional Medal Of Honor and the Navy Cross not a good example? Unbelievable. Do these spoiled brats have even a remote clue what their lives would be like if not for men like "Pappy" Boyington? For one thing they'd be eating sushi and driving Japanese cars. (!) Scratch that. You know what I mean.
What, in the name of all that's rational, gives these pampered, pusillanimous pricks the utter gall to spew out words like this: "many monuments at UW already commemorate rich white men"? For the record, Boyington was not rich and was part Sioux. These dipshits can't even get their stories straight.
I am outraged that these spoiled brats who live in an academic ivory tower, sponging off their parents and working on a degree in some liberal arts bullshit are even allowed to speak in public, much less be a "senator" in a student body.
I call shame on the entire University of Washington. It is indeed appropriate that the school mascot is a "husky" because the student body has damned sure gone to the dogs ....
Students Reject Honor To 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' Hero
(WORLDNET DAILY)
The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school.
Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce." Ashley Miller, another senator, argued "many monuments at UW already commemorate rich white men."
Senate member Karl Smith amended the resolution to eliminate a clause that said Boyington "was credited with destroying 26 enemy aircraft, tying the record for most aircraft destroyed by a pilot in American Uniform," for which he was awarded the Navy Cross.
Smith, according to the minutes, said "the resolution should commend Colonel Boyington's service, not his killing of others." The senate's decision was reported first by Seattle radio talk-host Kirby Wilbur of KVI, whose listeners were "absolutely incensed," according to producer Matt Haver. Brent Ludeman, president of the university's College Republicans, told WND in an e-mail the decision "reflects poorly on the university."
"Pappy Boyington went beyond the call of duty to serve and protect this country – he simply deserves better," Ludeman said. "Just last year, the university erected a memorial to diversity. Why can't we do the same for Pappy Boyington and others who have defended our country?"
The resolution points out Boyington, a student at the UW from 1930-34, served as a combat pilot in the 1st Squadron, American Volunteer Group – the "Flying Tigers of China" – and later as a Marine Corps combat pilot in charge of Marine Fighting Squadron 214, "The Black Sheep Squadron." Along with the Navy Cross, Boyington was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for his heroism. He was shot down and spent 20 months in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.
The resolution says, "Be it resolved … [t]hat we consider Col. Gregory Boyington, United States Marine Corps, to be a prime example of the excellence that this university represents and strives to impart upon its students, and, That we desire for a memorial for Col. Boyington be commenced by the University of Washington by 11 January 2008, the twentieth anniversary of his death, which will be publicly displayed, so that all who come here in future years will know that the University of Washington produced one of this country's bravest men, and that we as a community hold this fact in the highest esteem."

It's The Real Thing
It may be "the real thing" and "things may go better with Coke" but Liberal universities and socialist student groups disagree. They claim Coke is busting unions and harassing employees in Colombia with paramilitary thugs. Basically, the goobers of academia and their leftist robots in the student body think Coke is not playing by the rules. There's the rub. How does Coke disprove that? How can anyone prove a negative? What do I mean? Pay attention ...
Suppose someone says, "The Skipper picks his nose." How do I prove that I do not pick my nose? That's called "proving a negative" and is an almost impossible feat. Think about it. How can I prove I don't pick my nose? I can let you sit and watch me 24 hours a day forever and if I never pick my nose before you or I die, then I might have proven the negative but that still leaves open the question of what I was doing before you started watching, doesn't it?
In the same vein, how does Coke prove it is not brutalizing its employees in Colombia? Do the universities want to watch Coke 24 hours a day to see if they are doing wrong? How long must they watch before they're satisfied? Do you think the universities would be satisfied if the Colombian Attorney General conducted an investigation? If so, you would be wrong. That has already been done and Coke was found innocent of any wrongdoing.
Another thing that bothers me about this is that Coke is Colombia's second largest customer for exported goods. The largest customer being, of course, all the cocaine addicts here in America (Juan Valdez and his coffee beans are way back in a distant third place). Coke buys the coca plants and runs them through a process to remove the cocaine hydrochloride. What's left is the safe coca plant leaves which give Coke its taste. Now if these universities and leftist groups did somehow manage to put Coke out of business or even drive them out of Colombia, what do you think would happen? Well, first of all Coca-Cola's soft drinks would taste different without the coca flavor and second, what do you think would happen to all those coca plants that Coke would no longer be buying? Take three guesses ....
Finally, it saddens me to see institutions of higher learning stepping into politics, blackmailing companies, making wild accusations and just generally doing everything except what they're supposed to do - namely educate our young people. It also saddens me to see those same young people spending their time working as willing accomplices to these devious ends rather than getting an education. What the University of Michigan and this ridiculous student group are offering instead of an education and something of benefit to society, are slander, blackmail and propaganda.

Coke Is Out At University Of Michigan
School Cites Human Rights Abuse Allegations
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (WKMG-TV)
The University of Michigan suspended sales of Coca-Cola products on its three campuses over allegations that the company permits human rights and environmental abuses abroad. The suspension, which begins Jan. 1, will affect vending machines, residence halls, cafeterias and campus restaurants. Coke's contracts with the university are worth about $1.4 million.
The university and the company say they will continue to negotiate. "The University of Michigan is an important school, and I respect the way they worked with us on this issue," said Kari Bjorhus, a spokeswoman for The Coca-Cola Co., told The Detroit News. "We are continuing to try hard to work with the university to address concerns and assure them about our business practices."
Michigan's decision was prompted by a complaint last year from Students Organizing for Labor and Economic Equality. The student group accused Coke of draining local groundwater in India and conspiring with paramilitary groups in Colombia to harass and harm union members. The company has repeatedly denied the allegations.
The university, which has more than 50,000 students, decided not to renew its contracts when Coke said it was unable to meet a Dec. 31 deadline to cooperate in an investigation of circumstances in Colombia. The university and several other colleges had offered to fund the investigation. Bjorhus said Thursday that a pending civil lawsuit prevented the company from participating.
In a statement on the company Web site, the company said allegations involving its operations in Colombia are false and the company has been "an exemplary member of the business community" there. At least nine schools have stopped selling Coke products, citing Colombia as one of the reasons, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In the interest of equal time, here is the Coca-Cola company's official response.
The allegations against our business in Colombia are false. We have been in Colombia for 70 years and have been an exemplary member of the business community. The plaintiffs' accusations do not reflect the facts on the ground in Colombia.
Two different judicial inquiries in Colombia - one in a Colombian Court and one by the Colombian Attorney General - found no evidence to support the allegations that bottler management conspired to intimidate trade unionists.
A workplace assessment conducted in Colombia by Cal Safety Compliance Corporation, a respected, independent third party found no instances of anti-union violence or intimidation at bottling plants.
These allegations were the thrust of a lawsuit filed against The Coca-Cola Company in a U.S. District Court in Miami and:
* Our Company was dismissed as a defendant.
* We are confident that as this case proceeds, the court will find no evidence against our bottlers as well.
SINALTRAINBEC, a Colombian union representing bottler employees, has publicly stated that it has "not a single indication" that Coca-Cola or any bottler has links to illegal armed groups.
The Coca-Cola Company and our bottlers have investigated the claims regarding human rights abuses in Colombia and found no evidence to support them. We will continue to work to ensure that our Company and our bottling partners operate under the highest standards in Colombia.
Our Company has been a valuable member of the Colombian community for more than 70 years and our bottling partners respect the rights of employees, including those who choose third-party representation or union membership. In fact, our bottling partners enjoy extensive, normal relations with 12 separate unions in Colombia and currently have collective bargaining agreements in place with all of them covering wages, benefits and working conditions.
If any employee feels unsafe, local bottlers, working with local unions and the Colombian government, provide transportation to and from work, loans for secure housing, loans to improve security of union offices, paid cellular phones for emergency use, shift and job changes and legal aid.
Note: The clever artwork in the two pictures above are my doing and did not come from either the Coca-Cola Company or the University Of Michigan. Now, are all the lawyers happy? If you all will pardon me, I intend to go buy several cases of Coca-Cola and celebrate Michigan's loss to Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl last Wednesday. Go Huskers! Have a Coke on me!

Ann Coulter never gives up. She continues to try to convince Leftists to use their heads and act rationally. It ain't gonna happen, Ann. Liberals like these college students are blinded by their own hate. They don't want to hear any opposing opinion.

Ann Coulter Cuts University Speech Short
December 8, 2005, 5:10 AM EST
STORRS, Conn. (AP)
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to hold a question-and-answer session instead. "I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the crowd of 2,600 Wednesday.
Before cutting off her speech after about 15 minutes, Coulter called Bill Clinton an "executive buffoon" who won the presidency only because Ross Perot took 19 percent of the vote. Coulter's appearance prompted protests from several student groups. About 100 people rallied outside the auditorium where she spoke, saying she spread a message of intolerance.
"We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate speech," said Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore journalism and social welfare major who heads campus group Students Against Hate. It wasn't the first time Coulter has had trouble at a university speech. In October 2004, two men ran onstage and threw custard pies as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona.
UConn junior Kareem Mohni, 20, said he was disgusted by his peers' reaction to Coulter. "It really appalled me that we're not able to come together as a group and listen to a different view in a respectful environment," Mohni said.

Whazzup with Ward Churchill (aka, Chief Sitting Bullshit) these days? Haven't heard much from him lately, have we? Could it be he is hiding? Running out of steam?

Toilet Papers: The Gendered Construction of Public Toilets
Olga Gershenson (University of Massachusetts-Amherst)
Barbara Penner (University College-London)
"You know what they say about men who hang around women's lavatories. They're asking to have their illusions shattered."
- Georgina to Albert, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
We invite contributions for the edited collection "Toilet Papers: The Gendered Construction of Public Toilets".
Public toilets are amenities with a functional, even a civic, purpose. Yet they also act as the unconscious of public spaces. They can be a haven: a place to regain composure, to 'check one's face,' or to have a private chat. But they are also sexually-charged and transgressive spaces that shelter illicit sexual practices and act as a cultural repository for taboos and fantasies.
This collection will work from the premise that public toilets, far from being banal or simply functional, are highly charged spaces, shaped by notions of propriety, hygiene and the binary gender division. Indeed, public toilets are among the very few openly segregated spaces in contemporary Western culture, and the physical differences between 'gentlemen' and 'ladies' remains central to (and is further naturalized by) their design. As such, they provide a fertile ground for critical work interrogating how conventional assumptions about the body, sexuality, privacy, and technology can be formed in public space and inscribed through design.
We welcome papers which explore the cultural meanings, histories, and ideologies of the public toilet as a gendered space. Any subject is appropriate: toilet design and signage, toilet humour and euphemisms, personal narratives and legal cases, as well as art sited in public toilets. We invite submissions in the format of traditional academic papers of no more than 7000 words (including footnotes).
We also welcome the submissions of design and art projects that expose the gendered nature of the 'functional' toilet spaces and objects.
Papers may be submitted to:

Clueless College Clowns
Professor Bainbridge has a photo-essay about some clueless UCLA students.
A group of UCLA students plan a student strike tomorrow in support of a one-day strike by UCLA service workers, whose union includes custodians and groundskeepers.
In their zeal, the students have plastered these posters on sidewalks all over campus; e.g., in the sculpture garden.
You will have spotted the irony, of course: the groundskeepers the kids purport to be supporting are the very people who will have to get these glued-down posters off the sidewalks.
Of course, they don't see it this way, they see it as "going against the man" and "supporting the working poor" and "justice". The irony is that these twerps will probably graduate, get good paying jobs and hire illegal aliens to tend their gardens and cook their meals for $3 per hour. Count on it!
Vagina Warrior?!?!?!?!
We've all heard of Protest Warrior, right? Their having a rally this weekend in Chicago, according to our Annoying Little Twerp.
But Vagina Warriors?
Read Professor Mike Adams' piece on what is going on at the University of NC.
They recently put on The Vagina Monologues and this is what was seen:
--flashing marquees on the streets (near several churches) flashing "VAGINA" in large letters
--lollipops shaped like vaginas on sale in the entrance with:
members of our university community walk(ing) around licking the sex-organ-shaped treats in an apparent display of feminist empowerment.
--skits titled: "My angry vagina," "My vagina was my village," "The little coochie snorcher that could," and "Reclaiming c--t."
--they even asked a six year old (YES, 6 YEARS OLD!!!):
"If your vagina got dressed, what would it wear?"; "If it could speak what would it say?" and; "What does your vagina smell like?"
This is what passes for education and female empowerment at our universities.
Meanwhile, Harvard is still attempting to dump President Summers by passing a vote of no confidence in his abilities.
Remember, we talked about him here and an article about it here.
It's important to note he prefaced everything he said with words to the effect that he was going to provoke them with ideas in order to get their thought processes rolling. Even so, feminists walked out and are now demanding his head----for ideas!!!!
It makes you wonder: Why are these feminists so stupid? And do they ever get laid? Is that why they are so angry at the world?
One more thing: please do read what Walter Williams has to say about this whole Summers thing. You'll chuckle as he drives the knife home into feminists and edu-crats in the last 2 paragraphs.

What I plan to learn in this class is to get a feel of how aesthetics works with engineering. After 4 years in mechanical engineering, we learned lots of stuff but not anything art related. We all know that a product needs to be good looking to sell. That's the reason why I am in this class.
As of skills, I have never used 3D printer and have very limited experience with the laser cutter. So I plan to learn and use these tools for my project. Hopefully I can be very comfortable with them.
For my first job, it has to be mechanical engineering related. I'm a car guy, so a job offer from one of the big motor companies would be perfect for me. As for dream job, I want to be a race car driver or even a jet pilot lol.
Wow! Hope your dream can come true! Totally agree with your that our department has limited resource in art, which is essential in engineering world nowadays.
Sounds like we have similar aspirations. I'm not really a car guy, but we are both interested in the aesthetic design aspects of engineering. Probably why we are both in this class! I too feel that the mechanical engineering department is very light in this arena even though there are so many interested in going into this realm. I haven't done the training for our 3D printers, but I worked with one at my summer internship. If you need help setting up a CAD file for printing let me know. I'm also pretty good with our laser cutters, so I can help there. See you in class tomorrow.

Cele: Actions of officers accused of Nathaniel Julies' murder uncalled for
Police claimed that the teenager was caught in the crossfire during alleged gang violence but the community said that he was killed by police.
FILE: Police Minister Bheki Cele releases the first quarter crime statistics for 2020/2021 at a media briefing on 14 August 2020. Picture: GCIS
JOHANNESBURG – Police Minister Bheki Cele said that the actions of officers on the day Nathaniel Julies was killed were uncalled for and said that he was pleased that Ipid had taken over the case.
The three officers linked to the murder of the 16-year-old from Eldorado Park will return to the dock on Thursday morning.
Julies was killed just meters away from his home last month.
Cele said that the behaviour of police was indefensible.
"It was totally uncalled for and there is not a grain of defensive input in that, nothing. I just don't know what got in their heads of the officers. As the case continues, we will find out what happened."
The officers are facing charges of murder, defeating the ends of justice, using unauthorised ammunition and discharging a firearm in public.

Purchase SOLD Wooden Nandi Statue 10"
Materials: Hand Carved Mango Tree Wood from Tamil Nadu, India
Shiva's guardian is Nandi the white bull who is often seen at the entrance to any Shiva shrines or temples
Nandi is fully decorated with bells and designs
He would be the perfect addition to a small home alter to accompany Lord Shiva
Nandi's ears were both broken off in shipping from India which is the reason for the discount. They have been sanded and stained to match the color of the statue
About Shiva
Shiva's guardian is Nandi (the white bull), whose statue can often be seen watching over the main shrine. Nandi has a plethora of bells around his neck and backside. He has a carpet over his back that is fully decorated. The bull is said to embody sexual energy and fertility. Riding on Nandi's back, Shiva is in control of these impulses.
Shiva the Destroyer (Sanskrit: Auspicious One), or Siva, is one of the main Deities of Hinduism, worshipped as the paramount lord by the Saivite sects of India. Shiva is one of the most complex gods of India, embodying seemingly contradictory qualities. He is the destroyer and the restorer, the great ascetic and the symbol of sensuality, the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger.
Shiva was originally known as Rudra, a minor deity addressed only three times in the Rig Veda. He gained importance after absorbing some of the characteristics of an earlier fertility god and became Shiva, part of the trinity, or trimurti, with Vishnu and Brahma.
Shiva wears a snake coiled around his upper arms and neck symbolizing the power he has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human soul's transmigration of bodies from one life to another.
Shiva's female consort and wife is Parvati; because of his generosity and reverence towards Parvati, Shiva is considered an ideal role model for a husband. The divine couple together with their sons - the six-headed Skanda and the elephant headed Ganesh - reside on Mount Kailasa in the Himalayas.
His guardian is Nandi (the white bull), whose statue can often be seen watching over the main shrine. The bull is said to embody sexual energy, fertility. Riding on its back, Shiva is in control of these impulses.
He often holds a trident, which represents the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. It is also said to represent the threefold qualities of nature: creation, preservation and destruction, although preservation is usually attributed to Vishnu.
As the destroyer, Shiva is dark and terrible, encircled with serpents and a crown of skulls.
Shiva often wears sacred Rudaksha beads, perhaps a reference to his earlier name Rudra.
The crescent moon Shiva wears on his crown, besides being a symbol of Kama the goddess of nightly love, also represents the bull, Nandi, a fertility symbol.
Shiva holds a skull that represents samsara, the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Samsara is a central belief in Hinduism. Shiva himself also represents this complete cycle because he is Mahakala, the Lord of Time, destroying and creating all things.
Shiva is represented in a variety of forms. One such form is as a lingam. The ovoid shape is a representation of the absolute perfection of Lord Shiva - if that which is beyond form had to be given form, the lingam would be the closest form to the mystical experience of the absolute perfection of Shiva. Shiva is often pictured in a pacific mood with his consort Parvati, as the cosmic dancer Nataraja, as a naked ascetic, as a mendicant beggar, as a yogi, and as the androgynous union of Shiva and Parvati in one body (Ardhanarisvara).
Another example of Shiva's apparent synthesis of male and female attributes is seen in his earrings. He wears one earring in the style of a man and the other as a female.
Shiva's third eye is a symbol of higher consciousness. It is also a weapon he uses to destroy his enemies by emitting a fire missile which has the power to incinerate the three worlds. He can also kill all the gods and other creatures during the periodic destruction of the universe. Shiva's third eye first appeared when Parvati, his wife, playfully covered his other two eyes, so Shiva opened his third eye emitting his destructive missile endangering the three worlds.

On Thursday, June 22, Columbia County Sheriff's Office Detectives arrested six subjects during an undercover sting targeting unlicensed contractors.
CCSO worked jointly with personnel from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (FDBPR) during the one day sting to highlight the need for the public to use due care when hiring contractors.
The six suspects, one Fort White man and five from outside our county, were all given court dates where they will answer to the misdemeanor charges of practicing contracting without a valid certificate or license and to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor or advertise himself or herself or a business organization as available to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor without being duly registered or certified. .
Charged were John Howard III, 36 of Middleburg, Joseph Rossi, 36 of Waldo, William Dold III, 48 of High Springs, Tricia Dold, 48 of High Springs, Jody Akins, 55 of Wellborn, and Gary Cleveland, 57 of Fort White.
