Clash of the
Virginia titans
Page 2 Frederick County Report November 22 - 29, 2011 Read all issues in their entirety FREE on www.FredCoReport.com
Most writers are inspired by is-
sues they feel compelled to ad-
dress. For Stephens City author
Dave Dentel, the ongoing clash
between science and faith not
only drove him to pen his new
bookit prompted him to launch
a publishing company.
Tough in the works for more
than a year, Dentels Te God
Imperative makes a timely ar-
rival. Its message that faith aids
reason and protects civil liberties
comes when some presidential
candidates are being criticized
for questioning certain scientifc
orthodoxies.
As for his complementary ven-
ture, forming Half A League On-
ward Press, Dentel says he feels
fortunate to begin doing business
in an accommodating locale.
Frederick County seems friendly
to start-up companies, he said.
Te process of fling a business
license was pretty straightfor-
ward, and the folks at the county
ofces were very helpful. I only
hope I can return the favor by
generating a heap of taxable in-
come.
Toward that end, Half A League
Onward Press has posted Te
God Imperative for sale on Am-
azon.com. Te book is also being
sold by Dentels full-time em-
ployer, Home School Legal De-
fense Association, located in Pur-
cellville. Dentel hopes in addition
to approach Frederick County
booksellers to see if they would
be willing to carry the title.
And though his book addresses
issues now being discussed in the
national media, Dentel said hes
certain it will resonate with local
readers.
Our community is flled with
hard-working, family-oriented
people of faith, he says. Tey
appreciate science but dont nec-
essarily think it should be used
by experts to attack religion and
traditional values.
Te God Imperative coun-
ters the arguments of prominent
atheists who employ the theory
of evolution to insist that God is
a hoax and religion a dangerous
lie. Te book instead reveals how
recent scientifc discoveries show
that the universe displays intri-
cate design and makes belief in
a creator more than reasonable.
Its a debate that is still being
played out on the national stage,
Dentel said, pointing out how
Texas Gov. Rick Perry was ridi-
culed by some pundits when he
dismissed evolution as a fawed
theory and said he believed God
created life. How people view
science in relation to religious
beliefespecially in terms of
morality and ethicsmakes a big
diference when it comes to fash-
ioning government policy or lob-
bying for certain laws.
And as a major election year ap-
proaches, he adds, that diference
becomes all the more important.

Pig Out at Thanksgiving
and You May Shop Less
Eating a traditional Thanksgiving
dinner with turkey and mashed pota-
toes makes consumers less likely to
buy on impulse, which might affect
their shopping on Black Friday, his-
torically one of the busiest retail shop-
ping days of the year, according to two
University of Utah marketing profes-
sors.
In We Are What We Consume: The
Influence of Food Consumption on
Consumer Impulsivity, Arul Mishra
and Himanshu Mishra show how
the types of food consumed during
Thanksgiving can influence impulsive
choices; for instance whether consum-
ers buy on sales the next day or not.
Most of us dont connect what we
eat to our subsequent choices, Arul
Mishra said. However, our research
shows that types of food, such as tur-
key, make people behave less impul-
sively. Such people are less likely to
buy products available at a discount
and will find it easier to restrain their
impulsive urges and choices.
In other words, if youre looking to
spend less this holiday season, eat a
good Thanksgiving meal.
And what about cutting down on
impulse buying the other 364 days of
the year? Try protein shakes, which
like turkey have high levels of sero-
tonin and also were found to reduce
consumers impulses. Given that
people consume several types of pro-
tein drinks for breakfast, they should
be made aware that such drinks can
reduce their impulsive responding,
Himanshu Mishra said.
The authors suggest that if consum-
ers are made aware that serotonin from
specific foods can reduce impulsive
product choice and responding, they
could use this information to modify
their behavior.

Tariq Oriental Rugs going out of business
By Carol Ballard
Frederick County Report
Tariq Khawaja, owner of Tariq
Oriental Rugs, Inc., gazed around at
his brilliantly colorful carpets and
weavings last week. While keeping
a positive business-like attitude, he
also expressed sadness at fnding
himself at the end of an era.
Te showroom at 213 E. Main St.
will open and then close its doors
for the fnal time on Dec. 31.
It was wonderful being in Front
Royal. Tere are so many caring,
honest people and thats what has
kept us here for 12 years, he said.
But its time to make a change
and so the showroom aspect of the
business will be ending.
Im very sad about closing
down. We loved the town and the
business, but now its time to re-
group, so Im making a generous
ofer to the community we have
lived in for all these years, he said.
Everything in the store, includ-
ing the huge inventory of one-of-a-
kind, hand-knotted, wool and silk
oriental carpets, will be 65 per cent
of until the last day of business.
Most of the carpets are from
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey,
Kazakhstan, Persia (Iran) and the
Caucasus Mts.
All made just for you, he said
with a smile.
Te big discount comes from
our desire to leave on a positive
note, he said, and added, It is very
hard on my heart, but I want to
take a rest for a few months. Wed
like to move to a place that at least
reminds me of Front Royal but with
a bigger population.
Even though it will no longer be
on Main Street, the business will
continue and the carpet clean-
ing and repair service will still be
available. Prospective, current and
former clients may still purchase
rugs and can call him on his cell
phone for about six months after
the showroom closes.
I want to keep our clients hap-
py, he said.
We will take everything left over
to our warehouse, and then we can
decide if we want to start a new
store, but well sit on our assets
and our investment coolly until the
economy gets better, he asserted.
He and his wife Tehmina, have
raised their three sons here in what
he called the peaceful, fresh envi-
ronment, and natural beauty of the
town, but now that the boys are on
their way, all attending universities
in Maryland and Virginia, the focus
has changed somewhat. He said
that his sons were also sad to leave
the area because theyve grown up
here and have lots of good memo-
ries.
Tariq has been in the carpet busi-
ness since graduating from Univer-
sity of the Punjab Government Col-
lege in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Te
frst thing his father wanted him to
