philipgardiner writes: International best selling author Philip Gardiner was recently under fire when his website was attacked by individuals claiming to be fundamental Christians.
For weeks these individuals have been emailing Gardiner’s webmaster insisting that his website be closed down or "they would take action".
Loyal to their client and believing in freedom of speech FAH Designs of Nottingham, England, stuck to their guns and refused to alter the content or the site in any way. Within days an aggressive attack on the site brought it down for almost a day, but luckily the webmasters had backed everything up and increased the security levels.

Case unsolved ... murder not ruled out ... The death of the world's leading expert on Sherlock Holmes creator has confounded detectives. David Smith talks exclusively to family and friends of Richard Lancelyn Green about the trail of email clues that could unlock the mystery.
Priscilla West left Oxford for London in haste, increasingly fearful for her brother's welfare. She arrived at his luxury flat at noon and rang the bell. No one answered. The police were called and broke down the front door. Mrs West waited anxiously downstairs as the officers searched the flat. Their footsteps stopped in the bedroom.
Richard Lancelyn Green was found lying dead in his double bed. He was surrounded by stuffed toys and a bottle of gin. Around his neck was a shoelace in which a wooden kitchen spoon, which had been used to twist the cord tight, was still entangled. The 50-year-old millionaire bachelor had been garroted.

Clever birds work it all out and get trains to do their heavy work for them
RAIL police were flapping when they found small pebbles and gravel on stretches of North-east railway sleepers. But you could have knocked them down with a feather when they discovered the bird-brained culprits were crows! Sgt Mike Burnett of British Transport Police said: "The problem was spotted by an engineer doing maintenance work.
"It was first reported as people putting stones on the line."But something did not make sense. It was out at Kennethmont and Huntly and that's not an area where we would expect trouble.
"Our first thought was kids, but it's in the middle of nowhere."
Then an eagle-eyed signal operator solved the mystery.Mike said: "He spotted the birds putting them on the lines so the trains would go over them." It turns out the crows know exactly what they're doing.

January 14 could have been a bad day for George Bush. As the president was preparing to announce America's return to the moon in a speech at the headquarters of Nasa, he was almost asked to deliver a very different message: that the Earth could suffer a devastating asteroid strike within 24 hours.
Astronomers have revealed that during a "nine-hour crisis" the night before Mr Bush's speech they believed there was a one in four chance an asteroid would hit the planet in 36 hours. Had it not been for a break in the clouds that allowed an amateur astronomer to give the all-clear, the scientists say they were on the verge of calling the White House.
"A preliminary analysis of the discovery data for this object yielded a possible impact with the Earth in less than two days' time," said David Morrison, an asteroid and comet impact hazard expert at Nasa's Ames Research Centre. "And if a possibility of an impact in two days existed, what should we do about notifying governments or the public?"
