President Obama speaking at UN General Assembly: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: 'Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.' Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them."

WEAR SUN SCREEN!!!!!

Have you got any (new)moles in your skin?
Have you ever been sun burnt before?
Do you enjoy sunbathing?
Think about it twice before it's too late...

Nice quote to think about.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
(Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910))
