ISLAM: What the West Needs to Know

My letter to the San Luis Obispo TribuneWell, here in little San Luis Obispo at a place called Cal Poly, we had a thing called ”
Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week.”

All across our nation’s colleges we had folks demonstrating against the right of other folks to see this movie or speak… or think… or maybe even exist. History does tend to repeat itself…. if we are all not careful.

In any event, it was a happening and many people left feeling surprised about what they had learned… and shocked by what they thought they knew about Islam and what they didn’t.

On a completely different and totally unrelated topic…. Al Queda has redirected some of their energy back into the internet as reported by one news agency:

“On Sunday, Nov. 11, al Qaeda’s electronic experts will start attacking Western, Jewish, Israeli, Muslim apostate and Shiite Web sites. On Day One, they will test their skills against 15 targeted sites expand the operation from day to day thereafter until hundreds of thousands of Islamist hackers are in action against untold numbers of anti-Muslim sites.”

So why November 11th? Maybe it has to do with our Veteran’s Day… or maybe it has something to do with rekindling of the sputtering glory of the Ottoman empire:

“In the Treaty of Szitvatorok (Nov. 11, 1606), the prewar boundaries were confirmed, and for the first time the sultan accepted the Habsburg emperor as his equal and ended his payments of tribute for northern Hungary.”

As the old Spanish saying,” it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.”

Jenny Craig Maintenance!!

I won't show you a 'before' set of pictures... but this was the way we were when we first met as 17 year old!

(don’t forget to VOTE,check bottom link)

Well, the  divine   ‘Dr. Laura’  and I have finally met our weight goals at  Jenny Craig!  We did it!

Probably the most scary thing for ‘former dieting’ people is keeping the weight off. Fortunately for us, Jenny Craig has a simple program of ‘maintenance.’

This involves adding a larger amount of calories per day tailored to your individual needs… just enough calories so that you maintain your weight.

I augment their program with a weekly ‘event’: Wine, dessert, great company and ‘something special’ as a main entree. This weekend is another special:  Bobotie  (yep, I am addicted), South African Wine and  Amarula Carrott Cake!

So, we’re happy with the ‘new’ us… and if you were ‘chubby’ as we once were and want to change… there is hope… read my blogs under the category “Jenny Craig”… and –hopefully– this will inspire you ,too!
