Christine O'Donnell: Sacrificing Her Virginity on the Altar of Satan??


 

By Greg Purcell

By now everyone has heard the news that Christine O'Donnell, a radical right extremist endorsed by Sarah Palin, defeated Delaware's very popular Republican Congressman Michael Castle in a senatorial primary election this past Tuesday.

That surprise victory sparked a deluge of internet postings of past statements attributed to O'Donnell and even more damning, video clips of O'Donnell saying what even Karl Rove called "wacky things".
The quote that has O' Donnell supporters most concerned however, is the one listed above: Here's an exact transcript of what she said:
I dabbled into witchcraft..I hung around people who were doing these things! I'm not making this stuff up, I know what they told me they do.. and on of my dates, one of my first dates was a witch, was on a Satanic Altar and I didn't know it and there was a little blood there and stuff like that...
Ok, so she doesn't say she had sex (later in the clip she say's she had a "picnic" on the alter), and she doesn't say she was a virgin but, given the spin the Republicans have historically put on Democratic candidates' statements, I'd say that with "first dates", "Satanic Altars", "A little blood there" one could make the argument that CHRISTINE O'DONNELL SACRIFICED HER VIRGINITY ON THE ALTAR OF SATAN!
Is this unfair? Well..you might be able to say that UNLESS you maintain that President Obama, despite all the evidence again it, is a Muslim or worse yet, the Antichrist!
Let's pause for a moment to ponder (forgive the pun) what the Fox News Witch Hunt would be like if a 15 year old video surfaced with Barack Obama saying EXACTLY the same thing? It would be a 24/7 barrage of non stop negative commentary.
In MY religious upbringing, the Antichrist would be a religious (or political) leader so charismatic, so attractive, so enticing that many true believers would be deceived. They would blindly follow this person no matter how extreme their views or how compelling the evidence as to who this person actually is!
While I give great credence to the idea that the Antichrist will be FEMALE, and an attractive articulate female at that, I'm not ready to post today that Christine O'Donnell is the Antichrist.
What I am AM saying is that, before you "purveyors of the true word of God" call my elected President the Antichrist, please take into account that, in his own statement he professes to be a "born again believer in Jesus Christ", while YOUR candidate ON VIDEO said she had "a picnic with a witch on the Altar of Satan with blood and stuff like that!"

Re: Christine O'Donnell's Fiscal Gaffes Should Shame Palin, Tea Party

    Shame that homosexuals like Tommy can't figure out that life is about a lot more than your sexual orientation.   If Hitler had been supportive of gays then Tommy would have been supportive of Hitler regardless of the rest of his programs.

Christine O'Donnell's Fiscal Gaffes Should Shame Palin, Tea Party

Posted: September 20, 2010

The Tea Party types claim they are about fiscal responsibility.

And yet they are gaga over Christine O'Donnell, their candidate in the Delaware Senate race.

[See a roundup of editorial cartoons about the Tea Party movement.]

O'Donnell is famous for not paying her mortgage, or her college tuition bills.

But, hey, in a down economy this sometimes happens. Her heart is in the right place, right?

But what about 2008, when she was also running for the Senate?

According to Politico, O'Donnell had a hard time understanding the meaning of a budget.

Keegan, whose job was to oversee the campaign budget, said he repeatedly clashed with O'Donnell over expenses.

He said O'Donnell's phone service got cut off because she had failed to keep up with her payments, forcing her to trek to relatives' homes to make campaign calls.

"It was always a misunderstanding," he said, describing her explanation when he would confront her about the recurring problems.

When O'Donnell wanted to place an order for hundreds of campaign T-shirts, Keegan said, she asked him to put the charge on his personal credit card.

"I said, 'No, how are we going to pay for them? Her famous quote was always, 'have them invoice it.' "

Have them invoice it.

Dodge responsibility. Let somebody else eat the bill. Push the debt onto someone else. It's all about me.

Have them invoice it. Sarah Palin and the Tea Party people should be ashamed of themselves.

Interesting study on school segregation and where it is the worst

    Top four worst performing areas with school segregation are:

Los Angeles, Boston, NYC, Springfield, Mass.

You should hear the reasoning behind it and the solutions by the school systems - then read the comments to get a totally different picture

Re: Tea Party is misplacing the blame, former President Bill Clinton claims; Jim DeMint: "the Republican Party is dead"


[Clinton]  argued that the Tea Party is "bankrolled by people who want to weaken the government so that there will be even more unaccounted-for private concentration of power - and that's what got us in the mess that we're in in the first place."
 
======
 
And here is where Former President Clinton missed the boat.....This is just downright unsubstantiated, misplaced and incorrect.  The Tea Party movement is probably the first grass roots movement of this size and magnitude, that I have seen in my lifetime.   Moonbats hate it, and will really be unhinged come the first week of November.

Jewish Prayer

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who hadbeen going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for along, long time.
 
So she went to check it out.  She went to the Wailing Wall and therehe was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
 
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned toleave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for aninterview .
 
'Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN.  What's your name?
 
'Morris Fishbein,' he replied.
 
'Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and praying?'
 
'For about 60 years.'
 
'60 years!  That's amazing!   What do you pray for?'
 
'I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims.'  I prayfor all the wars and all the hatred to stop.  I pray for all our children to growup safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man.'
 
'How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?'
 
'Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall.

10 Reasons Why Obama's Is The Most Failed Presidency In Modern Times

Posted By Chris Queen On September 19, 2010 @ 9:00 am In Big Government,Email,Feature,Obama, Barack,Politics | 1 Comment

On November 2008, Barack Obama was elected 44th President of the United States. His election was a truly historic moment, not only because he was the first African-American elected to the nation's highest office, but also because Obama promised so much during the campaign.

Obama promised to be a post-partisan, post racial president. He promised hope, change, and a new era of transparency. Obama and his supporters insisted that he was entirely qualified to lead the country, despite his lack of leadership experience and the vague substance of his campaign promises. His entire campaign was based on the idea that he was completely different from anyone who served in the Oval Office before.

The reality is that the Obama presidency has fallen far short of the high expectations. In generally every area, the new administration has failed to deliver on its lofty promises. Obama has proven himself to be quite tone deaf to the needs — and will — of the American electorate. Never before have arrogance and inexperience converged in such a way as they have in the White House since January 2009.

With that said, here are 10 reasons why Obama's is the most failed presidency in modern times.

Associations With Less-Than-Savory People

Barack Obama has had a long history of associating himself with people on the wrong side of either the law or ethics. Among those are his associations with radicals of different eras. He has maintained a friendship with unrepentant domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn for many years. He was a disciple of radical Saul Alinsky – so much so that Obama chose his college friends to fit the Alinsky model. Another radical, this time Muslim activist Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour, helped Obama get into Harvard Law School. And let's not forget his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in whose church Barack and Michelle Obama sat for over two decades. The president's associations with radicals such as these do little to help Obama paint himself as a moderate member of the Left.

President Obama's poor choice of associates extends to the choice of some scandal-plagued people for key positions in his administration. Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson was Obama's choice for Secretary of Commerce until he resigned in the midst of a scandal involving his alleged exchange of state government contracts for contributions to his re-election campaign. Obama picked former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle for Secretary of Health and Human Services until a tax scandal derailed his chances. Another alleged tax cheat, Timothy Geithner, was confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury.

If a man's associations are indicative of his character, what are we to think about Obama's?

Too Many Vacations & Parties And Too Much Golf

In an economy in which many people are out of work, while others are forced to live on less money and forgo extras and luxuries, the Obamas have shown an utter disregard for the plight of the American people. The president and First Lady have enjoyed lavish vacations and thrown tony parties, and President Obama hasn't skimped on his golf game.

I couldn't find an exact count or list of the vacations the Obama family have taken since taking office, but this summer, the press coverage was wall-to-wall, with them taking trips to Panama City Beach, Bar Harbor, and Martha's Vineyard. Oh, and then there was, of course, Michelle Obama's infamous trip to Spain. Needless to say, many of the Right have been critical of Obama's vacation habits. One clever nickname given to Obama's tenure is the "Clark Griswold Presidency." (An interesting side note: while researching for this post, I had a difficult time finding lists of vacations, but I found plenty of leftist blogs and opinion pieces attempting to compare Obama's pricey trips to Bush's quiet vacations to his Texas ranch.)

In addition to their heavy vacation schedule, the Obamas have not let up on their White House entertaining in this economy. They have hosted elaborate Super Bowl Parties and events for lawmakers. For the first few months, the President and First Lady held an event every week on the White House grounds. One of the most notorious Obama parties was the state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderón, which included a four course meal, an exquisite night-club-style tent on the South Lawn, and a performance by Beyoncé. Another glitzy party honoring Sir Paul McCartney came complete with performances by musical heavy-hitters and cheap shots at the expense of President Bush. All of this while Americans struggle to make ends meet.

Obama's fascination with golf has been come an issue of both consternation and derision. As of July, the president had played 41 rounds of golf, which averages out to more than one round two weeks. He took much heat for playing golf the day of the funeral for Polish President Lech Kaczynski. (To be fair, the Iceland volcano prevented him from flying to Europe to attend, yet Obama never visited or signed the guestbook at the Polish embassy.) Obama has also endured criticism for his multiple golf outings during the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. No word on whether his handicap has dropped along with his approval ratings.

Dependence On The Teleprompter

Much has been made about President Obama's rhetorical skills. Sympathetic media outlets have hailed him as an exemplary communicator, but, while he is a good speaker, he doesn't quite possess the silver tongue the mainstream media claims he has.

Obama is notorious for using a teleprompter during his speeches. Obviously this isn't unusual at all, as presidents have used teleprompters as long as they've been available. However, this particular president may rely too much on his teleprompter, and it has become a source of ridicule across the country.

One clever blogger has set up a blog from the point of view of the President's teleprompter. Another blog seeks to monitor Obama's teleprompter bloopers, going so far as to call him the "Teleprompter President." Less than hostile media outlets like The Onion, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, and even Hardball With Chris Matthews have either made fun of or chastised Obama for his teleprompter overuse.

Is Obama not the orator we're supposed to believe he is? Is he too dependent on the teleprompter? I'll let the videos speak for themselves:

Too Many Apologies

President Obama seems obsessed with what he thinks of as repairing the image of the United States on the world stage. He has gone out of his way to try to make amends for past American foreign policy, especially throughout 2009 when he seemed regularly to make speeches apologizing for America's sins. Bloggers, pundits, and members of the media on the Right have come to dub this Obama's Apology Tour. Of course, the folks at Media Matters for America have balked at the notion that their secular messiah is apologizing, but here's just a sample:

Mr. Obama told the French (the French!) that America "has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward Europe. In Prague, he said America has "a moral responsibility to act" on arms control because only the U.S. had "used a nuclear weapon." In London, he said that decisions about the world financial system were no longer made by "just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy" — as if that were a bad thing. And in Latin America, he said the U.S. had not "pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors" because we "failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas."

Obama infamously bowed in deference to Japan's Emperor Akihito. He refused to allow the U.S. flag to fly over sites in Haiti during early relief efforts there. He made a famous speech in Egypt in which he promised a "new beginning…based on mutual interest and mutual respect…"

Statesmen in the past have demurred from criticizing past American policy, even when they disagreed with it. Obama has taken a much different course, and it's part of the changes that have helped lead to his unpopularity and failure as president.

Placing Blame Instead Of Taking Responsibility

One recurring theme of the Obama administration is "blame Bush," or as Obama likes to put it, "the last eight years." Obama loves to lay the blame for the current economic crisis at the feet of the Bush administration, as if he's in some sort of perpetual campaign mode and Bush is the opponent. It's an odd strategy for a president who, in his inaugural address, promised:

…an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics.

Of course, the reason for the mess the economy is in is a complex one, and if anyone is to blame, it's an array of people on both sides of the political spectrum. Yet Obama continually sees fit to play a blame game, as though attributing the blame will make the crisis go away. His rhetoric is a smokescreen to obscure his administration's clueless economic policy and inaction beyond massive spending bills.

Another area in which President Obama has famously blamed Bush for calamity is the Gulf Coast oil spill. Ironically, in one speech he indirectly blamed Bush right after condemning BP and others involved in the catastrophe for pointing fingers at each other. Obama fired shots at the Bush administration while dragging his feet on an active response to the spill, a lackadaisical response even the New York Times noticed.

The American people expect their president to take responsibility for the problems and issues the country faces. Obama has instead chosen to blame President Bush for some key issues during his time in office, a course of action that smacks of both disrespect and desperation.

The Czars

President Obama has an abnormally large circle of "czars," or appointed advisors, in his administration. Appointing czars isn't unusual, as past presidents have had czars of their own. Obama, however, outdoes all his predecessors. He has not one, not two, but 35 of them, 24 of whom are in positions created specifically by the Obama administration. Obama's czars cover a wide range of areas, including executive pay, the California water crisis, "climate change," and sexual assault and domestic violence issues.

Because the czars are appointed directly by the president, they do not require congressional approval, and they are not accountable to anyone put the president. Many of them also report directly to the president. Again, Obama isn't doing anything unusual in principle, but the sheer number and scope of his czars is unprecedented. Many of Obama's czars are from the academic ranks and have little practical experience. What's worse is that many of Obama's czars have some seriously scary Leftist credentials, including:

Van Jones, "Green Jobs Czar" from March-September 2009, a communist who produced an album by cop killer and leftist cause célèbre Mumia Abu Jamal.
Cass Sunstein, Regulatory Czar, who believes in devoting greater powers to the presidency and devoting government funding for abortions.
John Holdren, Science Czar, whose views go hand in hand with his former colleague, the population and ecological alarmist Paul Ehrlich.
Elizabeth Warren, upcoming Consumer Czar, who is called the "left-wing patron saint of so-called consumer protection."
Donald Berwick, Health Czar, who said:

"Excellent health care is by definition redistributional." He used this favorite Obama term in the context of praising Britain's socialized medicine system as "a global treasure" and "I love it."

Obama has been under fire from both sides of the aisle for having too many czars. The late Robert Byrd (yes, the senator for whom half of West Virginia is named) said of the czars, "[t]he accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances." The American people should take care to learn about Obama's czars and the frightening views some of them hold. Their ideas and policies could lead to more than the failure of Obama's presidency.

Obama's Obsession With Islam

President Obama has had a strange habit of seeming to placate Muslims. It's been an issue since the 2008 campaign, in which Obama's Islamic heritage was discussed heavily. For what it's worth, Obama claims he has never been a Muslim and that he is a Christian. Nevertheless, his seeming obsession with Islam is discomfiting to many Americans.

Obama has gone out of his way to revise history, painting Islam as a peaceful, mainstream religion that is concerned with human dignity and rights. His infamous Egypt speech was full of references to the supposed benign nature of Islam. In his 2010 Ramadan message, Obama said that "Islam has always been part of America," rewriting history in a bizarre way.

Some of Obama's actions have engendered reactions ranging from outrage to ridicule. In April 2009, the president bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, causing a firestorm of controversy and speculation of his motives. In 2010, NASA chief Charles Bolden reported that Obama asked him

…to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering…

Needless to say, Bolden's statement elicited laughter among the outrage.

Most recently, Obama's handling of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy has left him looking flat-footed and awkward as well. The president came under fire for seeming to voice support for the mosque while speaking at a Ramadan dinner. In clarifying his remarks, Obama seemed to turn toward a more philosophical discussion of rights while apparently ignoring the fact that the majority of Americans oppose building the mosque.

Out-Of-Control Spending

President Obama has revealed his true colors in his approach to this economy. He is a clear cut devotee of Keynesian economics – most specifically the notion that governments should engage in deficit spending during a slow economy in efforts to stabilize it. The fact that the economy has improved little to none despite the government's spending hand over fist proves the myth of Keynesian economics and another failure of the Obama presidency.

Under Obama's watch, federal spending has increased to nearly a quarter of GDP for the United States. That's right: nearly one fourth of our economy is government spending! The federal budget deficit alone was nearly 10% of GDP in 2009, a post-World War II record. Obama shows no sign of letting up.

The Obama spending era began in earnest with the $862 billion dollar economic stimulus package, which was loaded with pork and contained some questionable expenditures. Congress passed a nearly $1 trillion dollar health care bill under Obama's watch, and the spending has kept going since. The president has proposed bank bailouts, "cash for clunkers," infrastructure spending, and even a new jobs bill that has been viewed as the equivalent of a second stimulus package.

With all this spending, the unemployment rate has hovered near 10%, and it seems like every sign of good economic news is balanced by bad news. In August, one poll showed that 61% of respondents thought that the economy has either stayed the same or gotten worse under Obama. Senate Democrats have even rebelled against some of their own party's leader's spending wishes.

So, why does Obama keep spending? I think the answer is that he doesn't have any other economic policy. Clearly, the economy has faltered, if not failed, under Obama.

The Gulf Coast Oil Spill: "Obama's Katrina"

On April 20, British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank into the Gulf of Mexico, causing a large oil leak into the Gulf. The incident created a situation that was an environmental catastrophe, a public relations nightmare for BP, and an unspeakably horrific tragedy for the families of the 11 employees who died in the explosion. President Obama's response was a delayed and characteristically tone deaf one. The disaster has come to be called "Obama's Katrina," though naturally there have plenty of efforts on the Left to debunk that appellation.

Obama waited over a week from the time of the explosion to begin to address it. In response to the spill, Obama has done some strange things, some of which have added to the criticism he has received. Obama declared a moratorium on offshore deepwater oil drilling, a move which could potentially cost tens of thousands of jobs and damage the economy of the Gulf Coast. Obama demanded that BP set up a $20 billion escrow account to cover the costs of damages from the spill, rather than allowing BP to respond their own way (which could have repaired some of BP's public relations damage).

Even Obama's attempts as public relations in the wake of the oil spill have fallen flat. In June, the president appeared on The Today Show, telling Matt Lauer he talked with fishermen and oil spill experts "so I know whose ass to kick." The statement was intended to make Obama appear tough and decisive, but it wound up causing him to look unpresidential and totally laughable. In August, the Obama family took a vacation to Panama City Beach, declaring the Gulf's beaches "open for business." The trouble is, despite Obama's well-intentioned effort to boost Gulf tourism, Panama City Beach is far from the area hardest hit by the oil spill.

The Gulf oil spill has been a shining example of Obama's inability to craft decisive, meaningful responses to issues. It has also been an example of what can go wrong when Obama attempts to rev up the public relations engine.

Obamacare

What many people will see as Obama's greatest failure as president, and what will certainly go down as his largest legacy, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Certainly, the blame falls equally on Democrats in both houses of Congress, but Obama made universal health care a focus of the first year of his presidency.

Obama began talking about health care reform as early as January 2007. In a speech to a health care advocacy group, he declare the following:

I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country.

The focus on a health care bill continued through the campaign and into 2009. Throughout 2009, opponents of universal health care became increasingly vocal. Town hall meetings were filled with impassioned voters, eager to express their opposition, and the Tea Party Movement really started to coalesce. The weekend the final bill was passed, a CNN poll showed 54% of those surveyed were opposed to the bill.

Despite the opposition, Obama and Congressional Democrats pressed on with the massive bills. They were so proud of their work that they convened special Sunday and Christmas Eve sessions to pass the bill when fewer people would be paying attention to current events.

Obama touted the bill as landmark legislation worth celebrating, but the true centerpiece of his first term is a $940 billion dollar package foisted on an electorate who largely do not want it. If that's not the epitome of failure, I don't know what is.

Barack Obama promised change. He offered a message of hope that resonated with millions, and that message swept him into office. It's been painfully clear that the actual change he has brought forth has been a drastic lurch to the Left that has resulted in economic, domestic, and foreign policy wrecks and nightmares of public perception. If Obama's presidency continues to fail as it has thus far, one can expect a different and welcome kind of change in 2012.

Re: A history of political gay-baiting.

Good Afternoon  Nominal,
 
Just to address a couple of issues that you raised:
 
On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 12:08 PM, nominal9 <nominal9@yahoo.com> wrote:
 
1) They call it "gay" marriage... to distinguish it from hetero
marriage (I Think)... just like Mormon, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic (all
Christian), Buddhist, Civil (as in State of Govt.), Hindu,Taoist,
Shinto, Las Vegas etc. state or religious weddings all differ among
themselves.
 
=================
 
As stated, the term, "Gay Marriage" is oxymoronic.  Out of all of the religions that you name above, all of them define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.   Although there really isn't a "civil definition" of marriage, the federal government, (under President Clinton) attempted to pen a definition:  See 1 U.S.C. § 7:
 
 
If states choose to create "civil unions" for Gays, (as California has done, and of which was done long before Proposition 8)  I don't think most conservatives have any objection to this notion.  Again, this is not about equal rights, it is about forcing a way of life down Americans' throats, and forcing America to become further secularized.
 
===================

2) What does "marxism or socialism" have to do with it... last I
heard, there were at least heterosexual marriages in all of those
places, or nation states (if many "pure" political states still
exist).
 
=====================
 
Good question Nominal.
 
There is a movement in this Nation, to further secularize the United States.  As I pointed out, most of these far left individuals hate our history!  They detest that our founding principals are vested in Christianity.  
 
This same movement (e.g.; the secularists)  are without a doubt the same far left extremists that are openly advocating for a Marxist regime change in the United States. These individuals detest a free market economy, and they are the ones who openly advocate for our Nation to become more in tune with third world and fourth world Nation-States.   
 
This also gets into my point (Which I have discussed in other threads)  about there being  only two classifications of individuals who can hold these far left extremist points of view.   I am not referencing individuals who hold "slightly left of center" points of view; I am referencing those individuals like Tommy and others who are far left extreme socialist-elitists:   (1)  They are either uninformed, not well read, and ignorant of our history, and how we came to be at this juxtusposition in our Nation;   or (2)  They are literally Anti-American, and want to see the demise of our Nation as we know it.  There is no room for any other reason as to why one would hold far left extremist points of view. 


This is a Cultural issue... I agree with you....but I suggest that
everyone is still free to marry or join togetheron the basis of their
own specific preferred "idelogocal" or more important (for some)
"religious" convictions... nothing is being taken away from anyone.

Still, I'm sure that the "religious" Cultural issues followers won't
give up the fight......it's like a matter of founding religious
principle for them.... I understand....

**JP** 13,87,426 people rescued from flood-hit areas And All Main River run normal

Dear Friends,
 
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has rescued 13,87,426 persons from flood-hit areas of the country. According to a press release issued here on Monday, among all, 24,630 people were rescued from Balochistan, 50,953 from Khyber-Pakhtunkwa (KPK), 38,1496 from Punjab, 926,935 from Sindh, 169 from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and 3243 from Gilgit Baltistan .
 
According to the details, 1781 people died due to floods among which 48 hail from Balochistan, 1156 from KPK, 110 Punjab, 213 Sindh, 71 AJK and 183 from GB.
Number of injured reported is 2966, among which 98 were from Balochistan, 1198 from KPK, 350 from Punjab, 1173 from Sindh, 87 from AJK and 60 from GB.
19,10,439 houses were damaged due to the floods including 75,261 from Balochistan, 200,799 from KPK, 509,814 from Punjab, 11,14,629 from Sindh, 7,106 from AJK and 2,830 from GB, the release further said.
521,993 blankets have been distributed among flood victims along with 1591 bucket, 149 Cholera Kit, 16851 clothes, 268.66 tons dates, 117 de-watering pumps, 72 emergency medicine kits, 2290 emergency drinking kits, 900 Foam beds/mats/folding beds, 784 First Aid Boxes, 72078.46 tons food items, 1120 generators, 5817 hygiene kits, 23486 Jerry Cans, 8069 jackets, 2458 kerosene stoves, 116462 kitchen sets, 3732 mosquito nets, 290891 tents, 121 water tanks and 78796.98 water bottles,
 
River Indus, Kabul, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej run normal
 
All main Rivers including Indus, Kabul, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej are flowing normal while the Tarbela and Mangla Dams have attained their maximum conservation level of 1550.00 feet and 1206 feet respectively. The combined live storage position of Tarbela, Mangla & Chashma is 11.753 MAF as compared to last year's 9.304 MAF, said daily report issued by Federal Flood Commission (FFC).

According to Flood Forecasting Division (FFD), Lahore, weak Seasonal Low continues to prevail over Balochistan and adjoining areas.
Yesterday's well marked low pressure over Orissa (India) and adjoining areas of Madhya Pradesh (India) has moved north-northwestwards and now lies over northern Madhya Pradesh (India) and adjoining southwest Uttar-Pradesh (India). The weather system is being closely monitored by the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
The existing meteorological situation in the country as reported by FFD may result into isolated thunderstorm/ rain over Kashmir and adjoining hilly areas, including upper catchment of River Ravi, besides scattered thunderstorm/ rain over upper catchment of River Sutlej during the next 24 hours.
The flood situation in eastern rivers (Ravi & Sutlej) has to be kept under watch as any further rains in the catchment areas of the rivers in India are likely to impact river flows in Sutlej and Ravi in view of the fact that all dams on these Rivers in India are full at this stage.

**JP** PINK EYE (Viral Conjunctivitis) ASHOOB-E-CHASHAM

 

 

 

 

 

PINK EYE

(Viral Conjunctivitis)

 

 

 

 

 

Now a days, viral eye infection (pink eyes) is on a rise in the city and many of us are also being affected by this. It is a very common and highly contagious eye infection that usually occurs during these months every year (August - October).

 

It is advised that anyone who suffers from this infection; has eye redness and irritation, should consult us / local doctor for the treatment and should also avoid attending office, in order to prevent its spread to others.

 

PINK EYE

(Viral Conjunctivitis)

Pink eye or conjunctivitis refers to a redness or irritation of the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids and the membranes (conjunctiva) covering the whites of the eyes. These membranes react to a wide range of bacteria, viruses, allergy-provoking agents, irritants, and toxic agents, as well as to underlying diseases within the body. The leading cause of a red eye is virus infection.

SYMPTOMS

      Sudden onset of redness.

      Sensitivity to light, swelling of eyelids.

      Excessive flow of tears in one or both eyes.

      Many times, the symptoms begin in one eye with subsequent involvement of the other eye. Often, there is a history of close contact with someone having similar symptoms or a history of a recent flu.

 

SPREAD OF INFECTION

      It is a very common eye infection that spreads from one person to another.

      You cannot get conjunctivitis simply by looking at any patient. You have to be exposed to the secretions from his / her eye or nose.

      The virus is transferred through these secretions to surfaces like desks and door handles.

      The virus can live on these surfaces for many days. Individuals who touch these contaminated surfaces and then touch their eyes are likely to become infected.

      One is likely to remain contagious for 5 – 7 days.

 

PREVENTION & TREATMENT

      If you have "pink eye", please consult your doctor.

      Avoid touching your eyes and touching other surfaces like chairs, desks, keyboards, doorknobs etc.

      If you wipe your eyes with a tissue, dispose it off immediately. Do not leave it on other surfaces.

      Practice frequent hand washing.

      Do not share towels and pillows with others.

      It is not a bacterial infection and does not require antibiotics.

      The problem is viral and gets better on its own usually within 3 - 5 days.

      If you have conjunctivitis, wearing sunglasses helps decrease sensitivity to light, so you will be more comfortable outside. However, sunglasses will not decrease the risk of spread to others.

 

    The best way to avoid getting this infection and passing it on to others is to practice frequent hand washing.

 

Best Regards.
