LOL!!!

[demkicker]

Threat or hot air?

100% hot air. I can smell guy like Nifong a mile away. He's nothing but an attention seeking bully. This time, he's gone too far.

[demkicker]

I'm wondering if Pressler would even consider returning. If I were him, I'd be considering a law suit.

[Alia]

But think of how prolonged the drama would be, if her magic number was.... 19! (In Reference to Louis Farrakhan).

The Baha'i world headquarters are in Haifa, and its U.S. headquarters are in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. Wilmette is the site of a magnificent Baha'i temple. Six similar houses of worship have been built in other cities around the world. The religion has no clergy or rituals, although members are urged to pray daily, to fast nineteen days during Ala, the last month of the Baha'i year, and to make at least one pilgrimage to Haifa. Women are exempt from the fast period if they repeat "Glorified be God, the Lord of Splendour and Beauty" 5 x 19 = 95 times on each of the nineteen days.

Since their origin, the Baha'is have endured violent persecution by Islamic fanatics. This reached a terrible climax in the early 1980s when Shi'ite leaders under Khomeini tried to destroy Baha'ism in Iran. More than two hundred Baha'is were killed, hundreds more imprisoned. Thousands lost their homes and possessions. Mobs desecrated Baha'i halls, sacked their temples, cemeteries, and shrines. Baha'i schools and corporations were taken over. The House of Bab, a holy shrine, was demolished. The violence subsided after 1985, but Baha'i religious activities in Iran remain forbidden.

Baha'is are entranced by 9 and 19, both numbers having roots in Islamic tradition. Nine stands for the nine manifestations of the transcendent, wholly other, unknowable Allah. They are Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Confucius, Jesus, Muhammad, Krishna, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah. The Wilmette temple has nine sides, nine doors, nine pillars, nine arches, nine ribs in the dome, and nine fountains. At each entrance are 2 x 9 = 18 steps. Baha'i temples elsewhere have similar structures. A nine-pointed star is the most widely used symbol of Baha'i faith.

Nineteen, Islam's other sacred number, is mentioned in the twenty-fifth verse of the Koran's Sura 74, titled "The Hidden Secret." Anyone who denies that the Koran came from Allah, this chapter says, will suffer forever in hell under the supervision of nineteen angels. "What mystery doth God intend for this number?" another verse asks. The mystery and sacredness of 19 was constantly stressed by early Islamic mystics, from whom it passed into the teachings of the Bab, down to today's Baha'is and to Reverend Farrakhan.

The Bab took great pride in having 2 x 9 = 18 chief disciples who, together with himself, made 19. Babism included a gematria that rivaled the Cabala in its obsession with hidden meanings based on assigning numbers to the twenty-eight Arabic letters. Nineteen was found everywhere, notably as the sum of the numerical values of the Arabic and Persian letters of Wahid, the word for One, one of Allah's chief names.

The product of 19 and 19 is 361, which the Babists called "the number of all things." It is the number of days in the Babist calendar, still used by the Baha'is. Their year consists of nineteen months, each with nineteen days. The extra four days are intercalary, with a fifth day added during leap years. When the Bab made his pilgrimage to Mecca, he sacrificed nineteen lambs.

Wherever possible, the Babists divided things into nineteen parts. The years form nineteen cycles, of which we are now in the eighth. The Bab's followers even tried to base a coinage on nineteen, but had to abandon it as impractical. On the first day of each month, the Baha'is, following the Bab's instructions, assemble for the Feast of the Nineteenth Day. International offices are governed by nine leaders, selected by 3 x 9 = 27 "custodians of the faith."

Farrakhan's initials are L. F. Using the cipher A = 1, B = 2, and so on, his initials add to 18, one short of 19. Maybe he should change his first name to Moses or Muhammad.

My next column will tell the tragic story of Dr. Rashad Khalifa, who tried to convince the world that the prevalence of 19 in the Koran proved it was written by Allah, and who was stabbed to death in 1990 for his heretical opinions.

In response to both of your posts to me, Jezebelle, I agree with 100% of what you said.

I too think she knows she's backing a loser and isn't ready to admit she's been played.

If this woman has been raped, it's looking day by day more like it wasn't by those LAX players and she's gonna have to lay off them if she's gonna have any credibility left anymore.

Look what's happened to Dr. Henry Lee, for example. Altho, in his case he's not a victims advocate, but a Dr. Henry Lee advocate. He went for the money everytime. $500 an hour (+ $350 just for sleeping) in the last big Durham case: that of Michael Peterson. He sold his "expertise" in support of an obviously guilty man. Then he was on the witness list for that other Peterson pig but never got called. After that, all credibility was gone. So he got a show on CTV showcasing all the work he's done in the past that help the prosecution. Even that didn't help repair his rep. At least not IMO. Now i see he's an expert for the prosecution on the case of the priest who "allegedly" killed the nun. Maybe this one will work.

Apparently, "Anarchists" came to Durham in 2002, as reported in "IndyWeek" (IndyMedia), site particular site focusing on North Carolina. People were injured.

This snip: "Not so, according to Capt. Terry Mangum of Durham's 5th District, who credited the protest to a group called "Bikerowdies" out of California. "I think some of the individuals came there with the intent to be arrested," Mangum said, referring to papers found in the police transport vehicle afterward with numbers for protesters to call and instructions for them to follow after being arrested. "

Lots on North Carolina -- from the socialist perspective.

[Alia]

Lots and lots of "data" at this Indy site.

I didn't know Duke U had hired a PR firm:

"A group of relatives and supporters of lacrosse players calling themselves the Committee for Fairness to Duke Families hired Bob Bennett, President Clinton's former lawyer, because "they felt their positions were not getting out there," Bennett told The News & Observer.

And Duke stepped up its game, retaining Burson-Marsteller, a global public relations firm that has helped polish the reputations of some of America's largest corporations.

"They brought in a bunch of people who have been essentially training groups of 10 to 12 administrators, faculty and students to talk to the media. They've been pre-positioning these people to latch on to the TV crews coming through," one source says.

And The Democrats want to shut down bloggers, eh?

My wife is a Baha'i (from Hawaii not Iran). We have met numerous survivors of the Iran violence. Tough, tough people. They put their families back together as best they could in America, pursued chosen professions and remained faithful to their religion.

[Alia]

I had no idea. Thank you for the education.

The much admired Coach K oversees a roster of 16 players with help from three full-time assistant coaches.

Pressler was responsible for a roster of 47 players with the help of two assistant coaches and one volunteer coach.

I get really tired to hearing that Coach K wouldn't have allowed X,Y, or Z. Let's see him shepherd 47 hoopsters with no additional help and then compare him to Pressler.

"My wife is a Baha'i (from Hawaii not Iran). We have met numerous survivors of the Iran violence. Tough, tough people. They put their families back together as best they could in America, pursued chosen professions and remained faithful to their religion."

RG, if you and your wife haven't seen the Wilmette temple, you should. It's truly spectacular.
