Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5
 Have stayed here before and loved it. Promised to return and so we did. Love the welcome and friendliness of the staff. Great location for the seafront and walk into Falmouth town. Had the Royal State Four Poster room this time - superb. Full English breakfast heartily recommended. Overall we enjoyed our brief stay for the comfort, friendliness and of course good value. We'll be back for sure.

A US-based architect has been hired to design a new food and entertainment destination planned for Kuwait, it was announced on Monday.

Global architecture and design firm Gensler has been appointed by Wafra Real Estate Company to design the Wafra Seef project.

The company said in a statement that it will provide full design and supervision consultancy services.

Story continues below

"This exquisite dining destination will be the first of its kind in the region, offering patrons a gathering place where they can dine, meet and mingle, while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Arabian coastline," Gensler said.

This is Gensler's second project with Wafra Real Estate, after recently completing the interior of Wafra'a headquarters in Kuwait.

Wafra Seef is located along the coastline of the Al Mahboula Area just south of Kuwait City.

Gensler said it would create a 5,760 sq m retail venue "unique to Kuwait, exuding quality, contemporary simplicity and understated elegance".

Gyms and health club facilities will feature alongside food and drink outlets while further details have not yet been released.

"In recent years Kuwait has experienced an emergence of new trendy dining developments. Wafra's intent is to build the ultimate dining destination, catering to Kuwaiti Nationals and expats alike," said Tareq Abu-Sukheila, managing director of Gensler's Abu Dhabi unit.

"We have designed Wafra Seef to offer beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, with spectacular views of the Gulf. Wafra Seef will be an experience like none other in the region."

"We are pleased to work with Gensler on our second project in the region," added Mohamad K AlZemami, project manager, Wafra Real Estate Company.

"Their design of Wafra Seef encapsulated our desire to build an exceptional restaurant experience that enhances the sea location, providing visitors with a one-of-a kind, dining and entertainment experience."

ViperMonster800 Quadrant was fine. I'm guessing its the throwout bearing but it would be better to upgrade to the 9 3/4" clutch. Thanks.
04-02-2006 12:37 AM
DHMag coming from a SHO owner, im confident in answering this. simply enough, you need a new clutch set. the fingertips on the pressure plate have prolly snapped and worn the face of the TOB and now the fingers are hanging onto the TOB.

hopefully the original owner took the SHO in for the clutch uograde. 89 and 90 came with a 9.25" clutch, the TSB upgraded it to a 9.75" clutch. this can easily be checked without removing the transmission, but starter removal is required. a new 9.75" clutch set can be bought at for favorite auto parts store for around the price of $270. it comes with a pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, and alignment tool. if it is the smaller clutch, youll have problems finding them, though it is cheaper.

with the new clutch set, youll more than likely need to remove the quill sleeve on the trans inout shaft quill. while some have had issues removing it, i have not. just pull back on the tangs, and twist and pull,

as for the clutch adjustment, the quadrant is notrious for not holding its position when adjusted. i had to get under the dash and engage mine using a screwdriver.

though the site is down right now, check im there with the same user name as well.

any other questions, feel free to PM me.

04-01-2006 11:59 PM
BstMech When you do get it in gear, how far off the floor do you have to let the pedal come before the clutch engages (car wants to move)?

Does this distance ever change say with the engine/tranny hot or cold?

Does the amount of freeplay travel in the pedal ever change?

Does this noise occur when lightly pressing on the pedal, or when the pedal is at full travel (clutch disengaged), or both?

It sounds like the clutch isn't fully disengaging which is why it's hard to get into gear. Most noticeable in reverse because of the lack of synchronizers in reverse. This can be caused by most anything in the clutch assembly. If I remember right that year of Fords still had a manual adjustment in the clutch pedal. You had to pull up on the clutch pedal periodically and the pedal assembly would self adjust the freeplay. Make sure if equipped, that this mechanism isn't causing the problem by not allowing enough travel to fully disengage the clutch. Should be no more than an inch or so of freeplay in the pedal.

It sounds like clutch time.

Taurus SHO clutch issue... I know, big surprise...

My brother's '89 Taurus SHO was bought for $265. It has 106,xxx miles on it and runs great. However, the clutch is a quirky little son of a gun. When you press the clutch down all the way, it makes a noise that matches the engine speed. Not neccessarily a grinding noise, more of a slight paper-like noise.

We thought it might be the clutch cable so we replaced that for a fairly cheap $30. Grabs a little better but the next day, it just doesn't grab any gear at all. I don't know how to explain it... but I'll try. I push in the clutch, put it in 1st gear, and hear massive paper-like noise. I attempt to put it in reverse and it just grinds so I don't put it in at all.

We know its not the clutch cable but it could have been needing a change anyways. So if its not a clutch cable, is it the throw-out bearing? It so definitely seems like it. My brother and my father both think its the clutch fork or my dad thinks its just a clutch job thats in order. He had a '87 Taurus MT5 - 4cylinder w/ a 5 speed - and he had that done with a clutch job for $800 and my mom got mad at him for doing that without talking to her.

Whats your opinion?

Why is there no such thing as 'Fangirls'?

With the increasing popularity of female gamers why is there little evidence of 'Fangirls' - Is it because girls / women are more mature or simply a case of being more fickle and able to drop something at a minutes notice for a far better prospect?

coz they arent gay

they are known as bitches
Most of those state person rather than a male. So i'm unsure where you got this idea from. Its Fanboy because they dont care about it being PC and saying fanperson.

Fanboy can be used to discribe anyone who loves a company or product more than they should. Be they male or female.
I think a lot of these girls could pass for 'fangirls'...........

more sensible and mature obviously
I'd argue the case that there are 'fangirls', with this link:

The Top 5 Things to Do in Houston This Weekend: Star Spangled Salute, "Parliament of Owls" and More

Star Spangled Salute
Star Spangled Salute

With 16 live cannons as part of the finale on Friday, the Houston Symphony’s Star Spangled Salute concert is truly explosive, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion spokesperson Whitney Hough tells us. Principal POPS Conductor Designate Steven Reineke leads the orchestra through a program of patriotic anthems (“The Star-Spangled Banner,” the 1812 Overture) and favorites from the popular American songbook (“Sweet Caroline”). Joining Reineke on stage are former Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst who takes a turn as guest conductor and singer/actor Christopher Johnstone who performs several Broadway show tunes (from South Pacific, Les Miserables).

“This is the concert’s 25th year; it’s become [a tradition] in the Woodlands,” Hough says. “We have more than 10,000 people come out every year. One of the most popular moments is the whole crowd singing ‘Sweet Caroline’ together. There are some touching moments, too. We have lots of veterans come to the concert and when they stand up to be recognized while the orchestra plays a melody of theme songs from each branch [of the American military,] it gets real emotional. And then, of course, when they shoot off the cannons at the end, it’s really exciting.”

There’s plenty of fun before the concert with costumed characters (Uncle Sam, Lady Liberty and Betsy Ross) roaming the grounds and greeting guests, The Woodlands Show Chorus performing more All-American tunes and lots of give-aways (flags, glow-sticks and beads) so get to the Pavilion early.

Pre-concert activities start at 6:30 p.m. The concert starts at 8 p.m. on July 3. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands. For information, visit Free.

Upcoming Events

DiverseWorks Associate Curator Rachel Cook tells us she chose the title “Parliament of Owls” for the 2015 DiverseWorks artist board group exhibition because “owls symbolize dark forces and dark magic; they’ve also been known to represent wisdom.” Multidisciplinary works by 18 artists, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, mixed media, videos, performances and a site-specific mural, make up the exhibit, which is another pick for Friday.

Independent filmmaker Stephanie Saint Sanchez has a video installation in the exhibit. “I have three monitors; one represents the heart, one represents the body and one represents the soul,” says Saint Sanchez. “They are archives from short films I’ve been making. I’ve been doing shorts for 20 years. As an artist it was meditative to be around those films. These were dreams made into a reality. But it’s also a reality, so many were never checked out.”

Saint Sanchez spent many years working at the now defunct Audio/Video Plus. That experience inspired one of her films. “One of the shorts that I’m showing is called The Last Roar. I have that video store clerk soul; it’s set to music, it’s campy, Busby Berkeley video-style choreography. It’s fun, but it’s foretelling. It was shot about a month before [Audio/Video Plus] closed.” She also presents a couch created out of re-purposed VHS tapes, as part of her look at the death of obsolete media. Along with Kristian Salinas, Saint Sanchez leads a sneak peek of Qfest during a DiverseWorks on Wednesdays presentation in July.

Regular viewing hours are noon to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. Through August 15. DiverseWorks, 4102 Fannin. For information, call 713-223-8346 or visit Free.

Our pick for Saturday is the photographic exhibit  “Round Trip: Bicycling Asia Minor, 1891.” The images show a world in transition. Starting in 1890, William Sachtleben and Thomas Allen, Jr., young Americans, spent three years traveling across three continents on what were called “safety bicycles.” (The precursors of contemporary bikes, the cycles had two equal sized wheels and were considered “safe” in comparison to the dangerous, unstable models with a huge front wheel and tiny rear wheel.) Over three years, Sachtleben and Allen traveled 1,800 miles, with just their bicycles, small packs and a small Kodak camera.

In 1891, the pair toured century Greece, Turkey, Persia (now Iran) and the Russian Empire (now Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). The circular images they captured—ruins, mosques, barren landscapes and curious villagers-—show the Middle East on the brink of massive social and political change.

Sachtleben and Allen, both of whom settled in the Houston area after their adventures, took thousands of photographs on their journey; less than half survive and are housed at the UCLA Library Special Collections. Because of their delicate condition, the images have only recently been reproduced giving viewers a glimpse of the Middle East at the end of the 19th century.

11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Through September 27. Asia Society Texas Center, 1370 Southmore. For information, call 713?496-9901 or visit Free.

Daniel Silva, the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Allon thrillers, mixes fact and fiction for his latest release The English Spy. He's in town for a Sunday afternoon reading and signing session.  Silva’s fast-paced novel begins with the death of the famous and much loved ex-wife of the future king of England, eerily similar to the real-life Princess Diana. Completely unlike Diana (we think), the character’s killed as part of a terrorist action. We say we think because despite Silva’s six-page author’s note which clearly and repeatedly claims that the book is a work of fiction, we know there are conspiracy theorists out there who will gladly embrace Silva’s plot as a thinly disguised version of some secret truth. That’s what happens when you create well-rounded characters and craft believable, completely possible plots as Silva has for 18 books now.

In town for an English Spy reading and signing session, Silva has put his protagonist Israeli spy-master Gabriel Allon on a deadly collision course with a former IRA bomb maker-turned-mercenary. This time, Allon faces an enemy who’s as skilled as he is and the chances are that neither will survive the encounter.

A long-time Houston favorite, Daniel Silva appears at 2 p.m. on July 5. Murder by the Book, 2342 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-524-8597 or visit Free.

“I like to say that the South is haunted by God,” said Brad Moody, the larger-than-life artist also known as bMOODYart. Along with Randall Mosman and Joshua Goode, the three Texas-based artists explore the concepts of myth, artifact and identity in their group exhibit at G Gallery, “Southern Myths.” The show is one of our picks for Sunday.

“[Goode] comes from this profound experience of his sister being sick, so he created these kinds of mythological worlds with all of these crazy characters raised on some ranch in west Texas,” said Moody. “He does these archaeological digs, but in point of fact, they’re farcical comments on the notion of God, deities and the myth-making of empire.” Skulls and bones are major elements in some of his sculptures, including Mammoth Sword and the aptly named Unicorn T-Rex.

“All of us are addressing these kinds of myths which are really prevalent in the South,” said Moody. “They all have a strong narrative thing going on. Mine happens to be this whole kind of riff on death for the moment, this whole cycle of life, this Southern thing of baptized in the blood; what a strong role that plays for me, personally and for the South.” bMOODYart’s self-taught style is colorful, abstract and opinionated and comes with a heavy dose of religion. “I’ve got this big heaven and hell thing finished, with flying angels and evil snakes,” said Moody.

“Stylistically, we’re all pretty different,” said Moody. “[Mosman] has gone off in a different direction. He was raised in New Orleans, so this whole ‘in the river’ painting — that series — all comes from personal experiences.” In additional to the monochromatic baptism-themed river paintings, Mosman’s The Lynching House is a sobering sculpture of a tall, ramshackle house in decline, with a noose hanging out of its window.

There's a reception: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., July 4.  Regular viewing hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays to Sundays. Through July 29. 301 East 11th. For information, call 713-869-4770 or visit Free.

There But For The Grace Of Michael Lohan Go I

You said it, Demi.
You said it, Demi.

If you're a parent, one day you'll inevitably come to the sobering realization that your child's ultimate happiness is out of your hands. Naturally you're going to avoid feeding them Red Bull and Cheetos for lunch (that's a man's meal) or letting them juggle steak knives, but beyond common sense parenting tactics like "provide love and support" and "encourage proper dental hygiene," there really isn't one overarching prime directive that will ensure your kid grows into a well-adjusted, minivan driving adult.

But if there was, it'd be "don't let them enter show business."

Where to start? Patrick? Plato? Might as well stick the Duke, the A-#1 of current child star cautionary tales, Lindsay Lohan:

While Lindsay Lohan deals with drug addiction at the Betty Ford Center, the actress is also working through her very public differences with her father, Michael Lohan.

The father and daughter were photographed together during an outing Wednesday. [...] Lohan's legal troubles began when she was arrested twice in 2007 on charges of driving under the influence, and in the second incident she was charged with cocaine possession. The first arrest came after Lohan lost control of her Mercedes-Benz convertible and struck a curb in Beverly Hills. In June of that year, just two weeks after checking out of a Malibu drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, she was arrested again. after a woman called Santa Monica police, saying Lohan was trying to run her down with a car.

As a parent myself, I often find myself on the Louis CK side of the argument when it comes to troubled offspring (6:21 mark), but then I've seen the elder Lohans interviewed, and...they're just awful. If I was as big a toolbag as Michael Lohan, I'd be surprised if my daughter didn't get all railed up and run her car off the road after making a Love Bug remake.

Then there's the most recent Disney disaster, Demi Lovato:

Teen pop queen Demi Lovato's recent meltdown allegedly was sparked by heavy drug and alcohol use, not the eating disorders and self-mutilation previously reported.

Last week, the 18-year-old Disney princess checked into an Illinois rehabilitation center citing "physical and emotional issues."

Also, reported yesterday that a video of Demi snorting drugs is being shopped around to different media outlets, but they have not yet seen the tape.

Insiders told L&S that it was Demi's breakup with fellow teen pop star Joe Jonas that sent her on a downward spiral. She recently left her tour with the Jonas Brothers amidst rumors that she punched another girl in the face.

Her mother and stepfather then confronted Demi after "they overheard one of the dancers talking about it and freaked out. They heard Demi was drinking, but the news that her partying was getting out of control shocked them."

Upcoming Events

And before anybody gets on their high (on life) horse to exclaim, "They heard she was drinking?! She's only 18!" You should know all 18-year-olds drink. Yes, even yours. Especially yours.

LiLo, Demi, Britney, Miley...maybe it's time for CPS to visit the House of Mouse.

Finally, we hear some sage words from future Behind the Music star Taylor Momsen:

Taylor Momsen's not your typical 17-year-old.

The Gossip Girl star and Pretty Reckless singer has raised plenty of eyebrows with her foul-mouthed rants against Hollywood, super-skimpy Gothic wardrobe and other angry, age-inappropriate antics. (She's been snapped smoking cigarettes and recently flashed her breasts to a concert crowd.)

What's her problem?

"Everyone's like, 'Wow, why is she upset, and why is she so miserable about things?'" the blonde, kohl-eyed actress tells the November-December issue of Revolver mag. (On the cover, the lingerie-clad teen brandishes two guns.)

Explains Momsen: "My parents signed me up with Ford [Modeling] at the age of 2. No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice."

Momsen was 7 when she broke out as a kid star, playing Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

There But For The Grace Of Michael Lohan Go I

They grow up so fast.

And for the record, none other than Corey Feldman made similar comments about parental cuplability. We ignore the advice of Edgar Frog at out peril. Obviously Momsen needs a stable adult presence in her life, someone who's expressed a desire to have children of her own yet just doesn't seem to be able to meet the right guy...

That's right: Jennifer Aniston should adopt Taylor Momsen.

Now, I don't want to make it sound like all former child stars turn into bitter, withered shells of their former selves. For example, did you know Ian Ziering made it all the way to the semifinals of Dancing with the Stars? Not too shabby.

We take great pleasure in snickering at the misfortunes of the pretty, young and rich, because how hard can it be to keep it together when you don't have a mortgage, day care, or student loans to worry about? But it all go from tragic-comic to just plain tragic pretty quick.

I've sometimes considered how we would react if approached by an agent wanting to put one of my kids in a commercial or something. I'd probably consider it for a few seconds, and then my wife would end up shattering their sternum with a tire iron.

Blast Off

And now

Houston Press

intern (and high school senior) Ishanee Parikh weighs in on last night's Rockets win. Watch out. The girl's been studying hard for her AP exam in Trash Talking.

The Rockets lead the Jazz 3-2 after last night’s 96-92 win. Just when you thought the postseason was only heading downhill for the Rockets, the guys stepped up their game and proved why they are still worthy of our respect.

Though the refs were clearly blind and apparently deaf to the strongest boos I’ve heard at a game, the Rockets still pulled through and made the shots.

Many Houstonians seem to be jumping off the T-Mac bandwagon, ahem, including a certain Ballz writer and an idiot sitting behind me at the game who insisted that T-Mac was overrated.

For all of you: 26 points and SIXTEEN assists. He has been an All-Star for seven seasons for a reason, and yes, his back has had issues, but (knock on wood) everything seems in place for the playoffs, and he will dominate. And I have thousands of Rockets fans who were chanting "MVP" at the game to back me up on this one.

Yao Ming was a little streaky with his shots, but he still ended with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Not only did our All-Star duo score the big points, Rafer Alston and Shane Battier finished the night with 14 and 15 points respectively. We have newbies who play hard like Chuck Hayes and Luther Head and seasoned pros like Juwan Howard and Dikembe Mutombo who back the team up when needed. Point is: We still have a strong team, and while they’ve had their ups and downs throughout the season, and the past two games have been far from the ups, we are still an able team. We have the players. We have the motivation. And yes, this seems like 2005 all over again, but we have the potential to go to conference finals.

My guess? Rockets in seven. We’ll celebrate the joy of making it to the second round after a long decade at home. I can’t wait.

Oh, yeah, be sure to catch the last quarter of Dallas’s game tonight and/or Thursday. The Mavericks have never rallied from a 1-3 deficit, so I have full faith it will be a sight to see: Mark Cuban yelling at the world, the arrogant, we-have-no-banner-in-our-stadium-but-we-think-we’re-the-shit team with the best record for the regular season...losing to the eighth seed.

I love the NBA playoffs. -- Ishanee Parikh

Don't Keep Yelling 'Islamophobia' To Silence Genuine Debate

Posted: Updated:

On the day when Canada and its Prime Minister were getting ready to confer an honorary citizenship on Nobel Laureate Malala Yusufzai, and when Stephen Harper was going to moderate "Strong Girls, Strong World" session with Malala as a participant, the very foundation of Canada's democracy and freedoms came under attack.

On that day, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, son of a Libyan immigrant, who had only recently embraced Islam committed an act of jihadist terror, killing unarmed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was standing in guard at the National War Memorial. He then stormed the parliament and was killed in a shootout. There are strong suggestions that Zehaf-Bibeau was influenced by the Jihadist ideology that may have become even more potent by addiction to drugs and other factors.

Just a few days earlier another recent convert to Islam, Martin Ahmad Rouleau killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, and injured another soldier. He was known to Canada's anti-terrorism agencies and his passport was seized under suspicion that he has Jihadi connection and may travel abroad to take part in activities related to ISIS.

Both these terror attacks took place after, "ISIS" had urged supporters to carry out attacks against Western countries, including Canada.

While these incidents resulted in deep grief and anguish for all Canadians, various Muslim leaders raised alarms that any association of these terrorists with Muslims will give rise to Islampohobia.

AQ Mufti, former leader of Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) tried to highlight, at a Facebook discussion had the audacity to write that, "Michael Zehaf-Bibeau has committed a heinous crime, against our motherland, and he has got his punishment."

As if the death of a terrorist during a shootout, completes the investigative and judicial process, without finding out who else has been involved, and what other risks are there that need to be explored.

At a CBC program, lawyer Faisal Kutty suggested that glorification of violence, in the society, was one of the causes of the terrorist violence. His focus was on Islamophobia.

It seems that the Muslim leaders have not learnt any lessons from the acts or conspiracies of violence committed by Canadian Muslims within and without Canada. The have forgotten that Toronto 18 was a reality.

In a recently published book, Religious-Radicalization-and-Securitization-in-Canada-and-Beyond. Lorne Dawson, under the chapter, 'Trying to Make Sense of Home-Grown Terrorist Radicalization: The Case of Toronto 18', writes:

"Long after the sensational news broke, many Canadians remained skeptical that there was a serious threat from home-grown terrorists.....Canadians were inclined to dismiss the group as 'a bunch of bravado-filled but bumbling incompetents who were not capable of carrying out their plans.... slowly but surely, however, as the remaining 11 either pleaded guilty or were convicted, and as the findings of the court cases, in particular the "Agreed Statements of Fact", became public, the reason for doubt dwindled. It became clear that a catastrophe was narrowly averted."

In Call for Transnational Jihad, Lashkar-e-Taiba 1985-2014, Arif Jamal, established a connection between one youth who was convicted from among the Toronto 18, and Aabid Khan of a U.S. terrorist cell.

Since then, several young Canadian Muslim men have been arrested and convicted on terrorism charges, and some have died abroad committing terrorism. After Ottawa incident, Imam Yusuf Badat of Islamic Foundation of Toronto acknowledged at CBC that even Canadian Muslim girls are now getting involved in acts of possible terrorism abroad in Syria.

Contrary to what Muslim pundits keep pushing, Canada is not indulging in Islamophobia, but it justifiably reacts to real acts and threats of terrorism by Muslim Canadians.

The Canadian spirit of inclusiveness is evident everywhere. That hijab-clad Muslim women work safely from Tim Hortons to public and private offices without any fear of intimidation and harassment, is itself proof that the leadership of Islamic organizations is the one spreading false fears in an effort to trivialize the enormity of the jihadist challenge.

It is Jihadi rhetoric and conspiracy theories that poison the minds of Muslims.

The U.K. Telegraph reports:

"[T]hat Britain's most high-profile radical Islamist preacher, Anjem Choudary, had influenced those involved in the Ottawa and Quebec attacks".

Such rhetoric and conspiracy theories can also be found at the videos of North America Muslim Foundation (NAMF)'s TV program The Free Radicals, in Canada. In an episode titled Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan's Letter to Malala Yousafzai, Imam Sheheryar Shaikh and other participants suggest that, the shooting of Malala was a western conspiracy, that Taliban are losing a PR war, and that their struggle is against Imperialism, and for liberating their land from the foreigners.

At a recent seminar, "Caliphate as a Political System? Myth or Reality" Imam Shaikh asserted that the Islamic Caliphate is a divine promise, and will materialize. Only a few weeks ago the same Imam and Farooq Khan the president of NAMF at a TV program hosted by Rawal TV, suggested that the beheading of western men by ISIS may also be a conspiracy, since one cannot determine as to who the masked executioners are?

These conspiracy theories and Jihadi rhetoric have so clouded the Muslim mindset in Canada that they rarely come out to denounce Muslim terrorism with a united voice. And if they do, they refrain from renouncing the doctrine of armed Jihad.

We Muslims should realize that if we need to save Canada from threats of terrorism, then we should shun the ruse of Islamophobia, and Jihadi conspiracy theories. We are living in Canada as a pampered minority, where the society accepts all our demands of exclusion, meets our request of providing prayers areas in private and public spaces, and lets us pull our children out of many secular programs. If we fail to reciprocate and keep yelling 'Islamophobia' to silence genuine debate, then the host society has an absolute right to act in revulsion towards us.

Rubbing It Better Does Work

24/09/2010 11:09 | Updated 22 May 2015

What's the first thing you do when you stub your toe or bang your knee against a table? If you're like most people, your immediate instinct might be to touch the part that hurts (your mum probably called it rubbing it better).

Flickr, Gibson Claire McGuire Regester

But there's a good reason for that instinct, say scientists from University College London. Rubbing it better does work, and the scientists think they know why.

Writing in the medical journal Current Biology, the researchers subjected a group of volunteers to tests involving a technique called thermal grill illusion. They placed the volunteers' index and ring fingers in warm water and their middle fingers in cold water. Don't ask us why, but that apparently makes your middle finger feel painfully hot.

When the volunteers immediately touched their smarting fingers with their other hand, the pain in the middle fingers dropped by 64%.

The researchers believe their tests show that touching an area of pain on the body gives your brain information, which it then acts on by reducing the pain (even when there is no actual pain, just an illusion of pain).

But the touch has to come from the person feeling the pain, as the researchers discovered when someone else touches the part that hurts, it doesn't work (which isn't great news for touch therapists).

It's not the first time scientists have investigated the healing power of touch, but it is a new theory on the mechanisms involved in how touch relieves pain.

Do you have an interesting way of relieving pain or making yourself feel better?

Damilola Taylor Killer Ricky Preddie Recalled To Jail For Second Time After Breaching Licence Terms

10/02/2012 11:49 | Updated 11 April 2012

One of the killers of schoolboy Damilola Taylor has been recalled to jail for a second time just 16 days after being released, sources said today.

Richard Taylor, the father of the murdered boy, called for a public inquiry according to the Damilola Taylor Trust.

Ricky Preddie, who was jailed for eight years in 2006 for the manslaughter of the 10-year-old, was recalled to prison last night for breaching the terms of his licence.

He had only been free for 16 days after being released from Pentonville Prison in north London on January 25.

Preddie was originally released in September 2010 but sent back to jail last March for breaking the conditions of his licence.

On that occasion, he was recalled after being seen in Southwark, south London, and associating with gang members - both against the terms of his release.

Damilola's death in November 2000 shocked the nation.

He had moved to Britain from Nigeria a few months before he was jabbed in the thigh with a broken beer bottle by a gang of youths as he walked home from the local library after school.

The youngster was found bleeding to death in a stairwell near his home in Peckham, south London, where local workmen tried to save his life.

Preddie, and his brother Danny, were convicted of manslaughter and jailed for eight years in October 2006.

Ricky Preddie, 13 at the time of the killing, was charged with his younger brother in 2005 when forensic evidence, missed at the time, revealed tiny blood spots and fibres.

Danny Preddie was released early in September last year after serving five years of his sentence.

A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "The decision to release recalled offenders from custody is made by the independent Parole Board - the body solely responsible in law for determining whether or not prisoners should be released.

"Serious offenders released on licence are subject to a strict set of conditions and controls.

"Examples include a strict curfew and other restrictions on their movements, as well as frequent meetings with their offender manager.

"If they fail to comply with their licence conditions, they are liable to be returned to custody.

"They will also be managed under the statutory Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (Mappa).

"Within Mappa, the police, probation and prison services are required to work together to assess and manage the risks presented by the most dangerous offenders, in order to protect the public."

Anyone recalled to custody will have their case referred within 28 days to the Parole Board, which will consider whether they can be released, a spokesman for the Parole Board said.

Preddie's sentence is due to end in May 2013.

Puberty in the Time of AIDS and Madonna

03/07/2013 12:28 pm ET | Updated Feb 02, 2016

Editor's note: The petition referenced in the following blog has been removed from the Internet.

This week I came across an item on HuffPost Gay Voices, a petition by Lady Gaga fans against Madonna presenting a GLAAD award to Anderson Cooper, because, as they put it, she was the cause of so many gay men dying of AIDS in the '80s and '90s. I scratched my head a bit and didn't comment on the post, despite the fact that I generally defend anything and all things Madonna-related and would have normally left a comment. (Full disclosure: I have been a Madonna fan since I was 13 years old. Actually, like many gay men of my generation, I was a little obsessed with her.)

Instead, I was transported back to an earlier time. The year was 1983. I was a scared seventh grader starting puberty -- a time when most adolescents are confused -- and I was attending an all-Catholic school in ultra-conservative and religious San Antonio, Texas. My father was a deacon in the church, and my mother made the sign of the cross more times daily than a Real Housewife of New Jersey. Oh, and I was realizing that I'm gay, or at least that I was not like other boys.

It was a scary time for me, not only because I was realizing that I was gay in unfriendly territory, but because I had started seeing news reports of a disease that was killing gay men. The disease was called GRID, or gay-related immune deficiency. Perfect, I thought. I am gay, and I am going to die alone of a horrible disease. Irrational thoughts like these really can mess up a person for life. Believe me.

So I went through all the usual thoughts: Maybe it's a phase! Maybe I can pray it away! Maybe I will have to become a priest! Yes, that crossed my mind. And in the years to come, even suicide crossed my mind. Somehow I got through it, but it wasn't easy.

The funny thing is that around the same time, when there was nobody to look up to as a gay role model, or even any real straight allies, I found someone I could relate to: a beautiful, irreverent and talented artist who sang of dancing and taking holidays, of leaving all your troubles behind, and so I did, as silly as it sounds. Madonna was my generation's beacon of hope. She befriended gays and preached tolerance when it was not the popular thing to do. She rallied to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS when even the president of the United States would not utter the word "AIDS" publicly.

She never had to literally tell me that it was OK that I was "born this way," because I just got it by what she showed me. I must admit that I am also a fan of Lady Gaga, and I'm not one to live in the past (except for every time I go to a Madonna concert; I haven't missed a tour in 20 years), but I felt compelled to write this post because I felt that it had to be said. I felt that this was a Julia Sugarbaker moment for me, and Marjorie is all those "little monsters" who are just too young to know.
