I know the title is pretty blunt, but don't worry it's not misleading. It's very true, and this post is here to validate your concerns. I have noticed in the recent years that there has been an increase in a societal-community push toward urging Muslimahs to wear hijab—unfortunately too many people are too confused about what that might mean to them or how their life might change because of it.
Don't get me wrong, I love my hijab-it has impacted my life in so many ways and changed me even more so, I have had countless experiences that are irreplaceable and I love encouraging people to share their own, but for some reason many girls today think that if they're having difficulties with hijab or their identity while wearing hijab that they're "doing it wrong" or that they're "not good enough" or "not worthy"
So, I'm here to clear up the air-for sisters AND brothers. Hijab is HARD! It's not easy, gals.
Note: I am not saying hijab is not WORTH it, oh my Allah-definitely not saying that, but it is just that…the price of hijab is big but it IS worth it. I've received too many questions from friends and anonymously on this blog about "I want to take off my hijab" subject, so, here it is being brought out into the open to address. You will at some point/moment/time/second struggle with your hijab. ESPECIALLY if you live in a country that does not observe hijab and don't be surprised if and when you do! It doesn't mean you're a bad person, it doesn't mean you should take off your hijab, it means the price of you wearing hijab is WORTH more which means the reward will be even greater. But once again without further ado….10 reasons hijab is HARD! (in no particular order—this isn't Buzzfeed ya'll.)
1. Shopping. The struggle is real, I mean it's hard enough to go shopping in the first place—after you check all the magazines telling you how you dress your "apple" or "pear" shaped figure or whatever, but now you have to take whatever you know about fashion and convert it, or what I like to say: "hijabify" it.
Hijabifying is as hard as translating Latin to English. So here's an example: You walk into Forever 21 (a clothing shop in the US) and find this oh so fancy dress. It's the perfect teal for the spring/summer weather. So you try on the dress and realize you need "sleeves" to cover your arms and think of this blue-ish shirt that you have that you can wear underneath your dress, but then you realize it's the wrong shade.
Then you realize that the dress is a little short so you need pants to wear and once you get those you realize that the pants are a bit tight so you get these super loose pants and just end up looking baggy. Finally when you actually try on the dress and realize it's too tight so you opt to add a duster or long sweater to the look and when you put it all together it looks nothing like what you had in mind when decided to wear it in the first place. After going through this lengthy process you realize the end result is not worth it and walk out of the store empty-handed.
2. Non Muslim People ask you strange questions… about "where you're originally from" and you say funny things like "Chicago" or "New York" and they're like "No, where are you really from?"
3. Muslim People ask you weird questions: People all of sudden believe that you have adopted this 'holier than thou' attitude, which is ridiculous. Like once at my undergrad university a guy literally turned around in his random argument with someone else in our English class and was like, "HIJABI, is this haraaam?"
Needless to say, I didn't bother responding. First off, if you're addressing someone by his or her clothing-then who do you think you are, Mr. Unwashed-T-shirt-from-last-night? And second, wearing hijab doesn't make you a paradigm of fiqh and ultimate judge between halal (lawful) and haram(unlawful). It is an act of worship that you undergo to become closer to God.
4. You have to prove your human one too many times. This happens way too frequently. As if people have the hardest time grasping the idea that we do normal everyday things too like play sports, watch movies, or even go shoe shopping!
There was one conversation I remember in particular from when I was shopping with my dad at a hardware store at 16 years old. This middle aged lady dressed head to toe in a purple jumpsuit had come up to me and said, "I can't believe your kind wear jeans, I've never seen your kind wear jeans!" Acting normal completely blows their minds! And this isn't everybody, most people have common sense enough to realize it, but there are some people like 'purple-jumpsuit-lady' who think being Muslim means that you're not human. Rather we're all human FIRST then we CHOOSE what we believe and what become. Oh yeah and I cannot stand jeans, team pajamas all the way! -___-
5. Sometimes people refuse to treat you as human and that feeling sucks. I don't really know if I can explain this, if you've ever been treated this way you'll know and you'll never forget it, and its awful and makes you feel like you have to take a shower after interacting with such a legit hater. But these people are never worth your time or your thoughts or even this paragraph.
6. You're being watched…all the time. Of course the NSA has your facebook and twitter/tumblr/instagram account down and wired but people are watching you constantly. I call this the celebrity effect. People literally cannot stop staring at you or turning to look at you and when they do ignore you, it's quite nice. Enough with the pictures everyone—Kanye West is going to be jealous! Not going to lie this isn't always bad, sometimes people just come up to you and say the nicest things, like "Wow, I love the color of your scarf" and you're like, unwarranted compliment from a total stranger—score!
7. But you'll never get compliments on your hair. No one will ever consider you a Cover girl, because you covered, girl. No one will ever know that your hair has got the perfect volume today or the perfect flip-unless you send a picture to your gal pals. And sometimes, when you're trying out a bold outfit and your hair just brings it all together to give you the look-you can't do that either. And when you ARE wearing a bold outfit along with your hijab, it's all like super bold and everyone's like Oh my god that's pretty bold-you need to tone it down! But you know we never listen.
8. People can't tell your age and think you're much older or younger than you are. At 14 years old, a lady told me to "watch my son" aka by BROTHER who is only 4 years younger than me. Scarves really mess with people's perception of time, but I suppose it could have some fun uses too. I kid. It's not fun being called a mom, I'm sure any girl who ISNT a mum can agree.
9. A universe of hidden cowards seems to creep out the woodwork and shout random slurs whilst hiding behind whatever they're hiding behind. I've heard so many slurs, particularly things like "terrorist" and "go back to your country" among others, the fun thing is they seemed to be spewed by an army of hater ghosts because as soon as you turn around to identify the hater-spewer-like there's no one there! Or their very good at NOT making eye contact. Hater ghosts don't ruin your day, they just make you wonder about the well being of the spirit world. But hey at least you don't have to worry about humanity, right?
10. People think you have insight on why things go wrong in the world. This stems from ignorance but when people ask you things like "Why are women abused in Muslim countries and why do people throw acid on them" uh, news flash buddy women are abused here in this country too, this is related to aggressors need for power and not the scarf I wear on my head. It's like asking a German-half Jew, "So, why would someone single out a race and you decide to scapegoat them and result in mass killings? I mean I'm not saying you would know because you really fit that 'hitler' profile" you get what I mean, it's irritating beyond belief and wrong. You can't blame someone you don't know about something you don't understand. End of story.
So what's the summary here?? Hijab is HARD…but oh so WORTH IT! Because at the end of the day its' not about what you're doing but who you're doing it for, and if you're doing it for God. You better believe My Lord is proud ☺.
Until next time,
Your secrets are safe with me.

Indian Cuisine Indian food is heavily influenced by religious and cultural choices. Indian cuisine reflects a 5000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the subcontinent A normal diet in early India consisted of fruit, vegetables, grain, eggs, dairy products, honey, and sometimes meat but now many fast food have replaced them.

Dining Preferences in India Paan is often eaten after dinner. Indians consider a healthy breakfast ( nashta) important. They generally prefer to drink tea or coffee with breakfast, though food preferences vary regionally.

Well, New Year's Eve I was a baaaaaad Momma.
I have to tell the truth. We went to a wedding in Tennessee and left the dogs at home by themselves for one night. I'd never done that with Rudee, ever.. I usually sneak her into the hotel room regardless. However, since we now have our black lab Doc we decided to leave both at home thinking Doc would be jealous of us taking only Rudee and tear something up. We do have a fenced in yard and doggie door and planned to be back by lunch the next day so things would be just fine we assured ourselves and bolted.
When we got back home there was no Rudee! We searched everywhere and I was panicking. Walker noticed one spot by the door of our wooden fence where only she could have squeezed through in a panic. I walked around the neighborhood and burst out crying while on the phone with my mom when I saw the Vultures atop a meat hunk of something at the house directly behind ours. Heaving with tears, I walked right up to it and realized it was just dinner leftovers from the night before. So I continued on, asking people in the neighborhood if they'd seen my small, Toto like terrier mix but no leads. When I went across to a neighbor's house and knocked on the door it suddenly struck me that there might have been fireworks somewhere for New Year's Eve and then I knew.. she'd fled. It's the only thing that makes her absolutely crazy and erratic and I was so mad at myself for fireworks not even crossing my mind on New Year's Eve, July 4th yes that's a given.. but I didn't even THINK about it!!
Meanwhile, after Walker headed the opposite direction on foot following several trips around in the truck, our neighbor who details cars was outside barbecuing. After asking about Rudee he got a lead, the guy had gone to pay his booth fee at the J&J Flea Market earlier that morning and had seen a dog fitting her description in the office on a dog bed. We headed straight over, across hwy 441 from our neighborhood off Newton Bridge and went to the little log cabin office and there she was!!
So, word from Kristen and Elise, the office managers, was that she had appeared at 11pm the night before and the security officer on duty left her where she was, thinking she would return back to her home eventually. When Kristen and Elise came in to work at 6am that morning she was still there on the office porch and they knew she must be somebody's house dog and let her in. She was given treats and a warm dog bed that belongs to Elise's dog Precious, who comes to work with her every day. I did not have a tag on Rudee (shame, shame, shame again!) so she had already posted on several sites looking for her owners.
We were so lucky to have found her, to have had the missing link come right from our neighbor we had never even spoken to before, and for everything to have happened within an hour of noticing her missing.. and the kindness of these ladies to recognize and take her in that morning. By the unbelievable grace of God she made it across highway 441 from our neighborhood that night and to the office cabin at the J&J of all places. We were so thankful to see her there and safe, and after the shock wore off I was able to focus on this little black and white dog sitting on the office table with it's tongue hanging out. This little toy dog named Precious had been rescued by Elise after delivering 6 litters of puppies at her young age by a breeder who sold pups at the J&J. Immediately I thought of one thing I could do to maybe express my thanks to these very sweet ladies.
Introducing, Precious of the J&J Flea Market:
Thank you soooooo much Elise, Precious and Kristen for taking such great care of my little Rudee in my neglect!!!

An easy way to reduce antibioticsJanuary 30, 2014
It is tempting to run to my internist and beg for an antibiotic to stem what could be a sinus infection, but is more likely, much like the polar vortex, a cold that won't go away. I was reminded of the need to hold back by a new study in JAMA Internal Medicine that reminds us that nearly half the antibiotic prescriptions given for respiratory infections are incorrect, as the majority of the diseases in question are viruses.
Updated definition of fever could improve antibiotic prescribing practices in nursing homes, researchers sayJanuary 28, 2014
Standard definitions of fever do not fit the nursing home population well and could be creating a picture of antibiotic prescribing practices in these settings that is too negative, according to recently published research.
Top 5 news stories reveal varied interests among long-term care professionalsJanuary 03, 2014

Powerful duo fights C. diffJuly 01, 2013

Probiotics reduce risk of C. diff symptoms by 64%, researchers sayJune 03, 2013
Long-term care facilities dealing with an outbreak of Clostridium difficile have a good chance of reducing symptoms of the infection by administering probiotics, according to a recently released comprehensive review of randomized trials.
Facilities need better reviews of antibiotic use, expert saysJune 01, 2013
Skilled nursing facility administrators need to do a complete review of antibiotics to better combat multi-drug resistant organisms, an infection control expert said in May.
Stomach acid drugs raise risk of C. diffMay 01, 2013
Stomach acid is often treated with medications such as Pepcid, but that could put long-term care residents or hospitalized patients at risk for Clostridium difficile, according to a new analysis.
Limiting use of common antihistamines could reduce C. diff in facilities, researchers sayMarch 29, 2013
Taking antihistamines such as Tagamet, Pepcid and Zantac increases the risk that people in healthcare settings will be infected with Clostridium difficile, according to a recently published study.
'Fake stool' a possible aid for C. diff patientsJanuary 10, 2013
A pair of Clostridium difficile patients were cured through introduction of a super-probiotic synthetic stool called RePOOPulate, leading researchers to express hope that the treatment can be adopted on a more widespread basis.

Use of proton pump inhibitors, which have medications used to suppress stomach acid, can increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infections, especially when combined with antibiotics, a new study finds.
Combining blood pressure drugs with antibiotics could be risky for seniors, study saysJanuary 19, 2011
Older adults who take blood pressure drugs called calcium channel blockers could experience severe drops in blood pressure if also given antibiotics such as erythromycin (brands like E-Mycin) or clarithromycin (Biaxin), according to a new study. It is believed to be the first large-scale examination of the potential of severe low blood pressure among individuals taking these drugs simultaneously.
Source of a MRSA defense? Scientists find powerful antibiotics on frog skinsAugust 27, 2010
Their wart-causing powers having long since been debunked, frogs are now getting a chance to prove their medical worthiness, according to new reports. Scientists are now using frog skin to produce new antibiotics to fight antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as MRSA.

While admittedly not as effective as laser treatments or dermal fillers, over-the-counter alternatives may reduce the appearance of acne scars over time.
If you're looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars using only over-the-counter options, your best bet is to use fade creams. Cortisone cream is an example of a fade cream that can help calm the skin and scars that are red or swollen. As the cortisone is absorbed by skin cells it can help reduce inflammation.
After using a cortisone cream, you may also want to consider lightening any hyperpigmentation or dark discoloration of the skin as a result of the acne scars. To do this, look for over-the-counter products with the below ingredients:
- Kojic acid, a natural skin lightener derived from mushroom extract
- Arbutin, bearberry extract
- Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid
The above options can aid in fading acne scars. Unfortunately, there are no over-the-counter treatments that can treat the indentations of atrophic or pitted acne scars.
Depending on whom you ask, vitamin E may also be an over-the-counter option. It's important to note though that study results vary regarding the effectiveness of vitamin E, so it's recommended to consult with your dermatologist before selecting this method.
On the other hand, sunscreen is a not-so-debatable product that can help keep acne scars from becoming more pronounced. While sunscreen cannot reverse the marks left behind from acne, it's an essential product to ensure that UV rays don't make matters worse.
As always, discuss any treatment approach with your dermatologist before getting started.

From Washington, this is VOA news. G8 summit opens in Northern Ireland, and car bomb kills ten near Damascus. I'm Bob Doughty reporting from Washington.
The G8 summit of leaders of key world economies has started in Northern Ireland but the conference is likely to be dominated, that is, by talks on the U.S. decision to arm Syrian rebels.
President Obama said "Beyond these shores, shows right now in scattered corners of the world, there people living in the grip of conflict, ethnic conflict, religious conflict, tribal conflicts, and they know something better is out there. And they are groping to find a way to discover how to move beyond the heavy hand of history."
Mr. Obama is planning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the G8 sidelines Monday to discuss his decision to provide weapons to the rebels in their two-fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It is an action that Mr. Putin has vocally opposed.
Activists say a car bomb near a key military airport in Damascus has killed ten Syrian soldiers and wounded ten others.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the bomb Monday targeted a checkpoint near the Mazzeh military airport in an upscale neighborhood in western Damascus.
The violence comes as Russia, which has a veto in the U.N. Security Council, said it will not permit no-fly zones to be imposed over Syria.
The United States and the European Union said they are starting talks on a new trans-Atlantic free trade agreement. European officials and U.S. President Barack Obama announced the agreement Monday to begin what are likely to be lengthy negotiations on the trade deal as the G8 summit opened in Northern Ireland.
The U.S. and 27-nation EU already account for nearly half of the global economy, with $1 trillion in annual trade. But Mr. Obama said a new deal to cut tariffs and permit the free flow of business deals could be "potentially groundbreaking."
"It would increase exports, decrease barriers to trade embarrassment. As part of broader growth strategies in both our economies, it would support hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides of the ocean."
U.S. and EU trade talks are likely to be difficult. EU officials are already consented to a French demand to exclude European film, music and television industries from any trans-Atlantic agreement.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is hosting the summit, set other economic goals for the two-day summit.
"Making sure we have more trade deals so we keep prices down, making sure we have greater transparency so we can help developing countries get the tax and the revenue that they need, and this issue of taxation, making sure we crack down on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance so right across the world, countries get the tax revenue (they) need to keep tax is down for hard working people and to make sure we can have good health and education systems for all our people."
Iran's newly elected president is promising to follow a path of modernization, saying his victory signals a new era for the Iranian people. Moderate cleric Hassan Rowhani spoke during a televised news conference Monday, his first since his surprise win in Friday's presidential election.
Mr. Rowhani said he would follow the path of modernization and justice, not extremism.
He also promised to revive what he called constructive interaction with the rest of the world and who helps fix Iran's faltering economy.
The Turkish government says it may use the army to help quell anti-government protests after nearly three weeks of violent demonstrations in several cities across the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said Monday that if police power isn't enough, "elements of the Turkish Armed Forces" will assist to maintain order.
His comments come as five major Turkish trade unions began a nationwide strike against the police crackdown on the Gezi Park demonstrators. The unions, which together represent hundreds of thousands of workers, called for the police violence to "end immediately."
Most of the strikes were peaceful but riot police used tear gas and water cannon Monday to prevent about 1,000 trade union workers from marching in the capital, Ankara.
And the British newspaper, The Guardian says documents leaked by a former U.S. intelligence contractor showed that Britain spied on diplomats attending the 2009 Group of 20 summit in London.
In a report published Monday, The Guardian said Britain's eavesdropping agency, the General Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ, hacked into the phones and computers of Turkish and South African delegates at the summit. It said the GCHQ also tricked some 20 delegates into using Internet cafes that it secretly modified to intercept diplomatic communications.

ASEAN-Korea Youth Perspectives: Through Selected Essays and Research on Their Mutual Perception 2017-12-01 |ASEAN-Korea Centre
On 1 December 2017, the ASEAN-Korea Centre held the event 'ASEAN-Korea Youth Perspectives: Through Selected Essays and Research on Their Mutual Perception', which was conducted in two parts.
Part I was the Awarding Ceremony for the 2nd ASEAN-Korea Academic Essay Contest. 9 winners came to the Centre to receive the awards. Part II introduced the book Mutual Perceptions of ASEAN and Korean Youth, a report on the research on how ASEAN and Korean youth perceive each other. After H.E. Kim Young-sun's introduction of the background of the research, Professor Yoon Jin-pyo of Korean Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, who conducted the research, presented the key findings.
The session was followed by H.E. Yip Wei Kiat, Ambassador of Singapore, and H.E. Long Dimanche, Ambassador of Cambodia, giving insightful remarks on the research results. After the remarks, a panel discussion was held. Moderated by Ms. Won Ji-hyeon, Senior Officer of AKC, the results of the survey were discussed by Professor Yoon Jin-pyo, Professor Jung Bub-mo of Seoul National University Asia Center, Ms. Kim Hoo-ran, Culture Desk Editor at The Korea Herald, Ms. Jasmine Lee of Filipino Korean Heritage Association, Ms. Yoo In-sun of the ASEAN-Korea Centre.
Q&A session followed the panel discussion.

Are you tired of being disorganized? Do you have papers and notes all over the place? Or maybe you have everything typed into various locations on your phone but can never seem to find what you need, when you need it. As a parent, organizing your home can be overwhelming. Sometimes, you just need a little direction to get things in order (and keep them that way).
If you've ever been to my site before, you have probably noticed I am an organizational nerd. I love lists like a Gilmore Girl loves coffee. My poor husband; everything we do in this house gets put on a list. I come by it honestly. My Mom is the original list-maker. You should see how we plan out a holiday dinner or party.
So for all of you Moms (and Dads) out there that are desperate to get organized, I am here to help! I present to you the Mom Envy family binder. Every Friday, I will share a set of free printables meant to help you get your life in order. Some of the future sections will include:
- House inventory
- Babysitting Notes
- Health provider information
- Birthday tracker
- Housework schedule and plan
- Daily routine
- Spending log/bill log
- Netflix/TV/Hulu, etc. tracker
- And lots more!
The printables are available in: letter size (Happy Planner Big), A5, and Happy Planner Classic. If you use the mini-happy planner, the files may be too small to manage. If you'd like to try to see if they work, open the A5 printables and print at 79%. For my own family binder, I have decided to print my files in letter size. They can easily be placed into a binder. that can be shared by the family (I'm not crazy about anyone going into my planner but me). By the time I am done creating my binder, it will be too much to include within my Happy Planner. But if you're interested in only printing some of the files or in creating your own Family Binder using the disc system, you can just pick and choose which files you'd like to print.
To gain access to these helpful printables each week, you will need to subscribe to Mom Envy's weekly newsletter. I promise, you won't receive spam or multiple e-mails a week. You will simply receive one e-mail each week that will catch you up on what you've missed over on the blog. Other than that, you'd only receive an e-mail for something important such as a Giveaway announcement. Click here to sign up and after you confirm your subscription, you will receive an e-mail with the password to access the printables.

What's the Family Binder Freebie this Week?
So what will you get this week? One of the things most women (or men in some cases) despise doing each week is meal planning. I'm not going to sugar-coat it – meal planning makes me want to rip my eyeballs out of my head. Every other week, we have the same conversation in my house:
me: what do you want to eat this week?
husband: I don't know. Whatever you want.
me: But I want to know what you want to eat. So what do you want to eat?
husband: Whatever is fine with me. It doesn't matter.
Yes. It. Does. Because (just like you, my wonderful husband), I hate to make the decisions about dinner. It's boring. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be watching some This is Us or House Hunters (I mean, I need to see what million-dollar house the hipster couple with no jobs to speak of pick this week).
In my house, I dislike meal planning so much that I plan my meals out for two weeks at a time. In addition, I only need to do a big grocery shop every other week (which makes me oh so happy). It actually saves me so much time to shop for two weeks at once. Then on the off week, we swing by the store for produce, more bread, and milk. Now that I have created these printables for the family binder, I will start to meal plan a month out at a time. I will still only shop every other week because I don't have the storage space for a month's worth of groceries. My friend Sarah, at Super Savvy Sarah does a big bulk shop every 3 months – now that's dedication.
When meal planning, keep your meals we eat and meals to try printables by your side. This way, you can quickly pull a meal that you already know your family likes or one you've been wanting to try. It's SO easy to keep track of the meals you eat/like. This will save so much time. Another option would be to store the recipes hole-punched or in a folder behind the Meals we Eat/Meals We Want to Try pages).
Are you ready make meal planning less painful? Then continue below!
Family Binder Meal Planning Printables
The set includes:
- monthly calendar (this makes meal planning SO much easier).
- meals we eat
- meals we want to try
- weekly meal planning tool which comes in four styles
- Meal plan for the week and lined shopping list space
- Meal plan for the week and blank shopping list space (to use with sticky notes)
- Meal plan for the week and a space for notes (this can be used to write notes about the recipe such as take chicken out the night before – or – to remind yourself if someone won't be home or you have an activity that day).
- Dinner, breakfast, and lunch meal plans for the week
Notes on Using the Meal Planning Printables
- They come in Letter size, A5, and Classic Happy Planner. For the mini, print the A5's at 79%.
- They're available in Monday-Sunday or Sunday-Saturday format. Personally, I prefer the Monday-Sunday format.
- The meals to try/meals we eat, there are two styles. All equal boxes or with two longer boxes (which is what I use so that I can make a longer box for chicken).
- If you print the letter size, I suggest getting a 1 or 1 1/2 inch binder.
- The style for the printables will remain the same: simple and black and white (except for the covers). I don't want you to use up all of your ink trying to print out these printables, Also, just because I love pink, doesn't mean you all would have wanted pink organizers.
- Print the weekly sheets every week OR laminate them and use a dry erase marker.
- If you print out the sheets, I would suggest using pencil if your schedule is unpredictable. I use pencil so that I can easily move things around. If you've never used a ticonderoga pencil, you're missing out.
- You can pull the weekly plan out and put it on the fridge, in your pantry/mudroom/command center area to help remind you what meals you're making or to remind you of notes such as taking out something frozen.
- Colors may vary. Printers print differently depending on many factors. (The printer I use is a more expensive unit that uses pigment ink).
- Print on cardstock for added durability. (this is my favorite from Amazon)

On October 16, 2017, at 4pm in the McCune Room (HSSB 6020)
Presentations by Cherríe Moraga and Celia Rodríguez on the unspoken, the knowing that is found in censorship, taboo, silence; the radical revelations (consciencia) born from the body's capture and release; how art practice (theater, creative writings, visual work) is a freedom road to that knowledge; strong enough to be unforgettable; strong enough to remember what went wrong in the first place.
The presentations will involve the audience's engagement.
All are welcome!

Following their whirlwind courtship, the two settle into an idyllic suburb life where they exist peacefully for three years. Just when Spencer thought his past – a past his wife knows nothing of – was long over and forgotten, he is contacted by his former boss.
With so many mishaps following one right after the other counteracting this effect, it doesn't deter the story from ever becoming dull or slow. Said to be in the "romantic-comedy" genre this really isn't a romance. It has humor, a bit of sappiness, and lots of chaos and action, but really the girl-meets-boy bit is wrapped up during the film's set-up; the majority of its runtime, Spence and Jen are married, which means that on filmmakers part it just isn't as "fun" to focus on the attraction between its leading stars.

An update on my study of Kotkin's much-hyped first volume of his Stalin trilogy. Although it is not quite the cartoon script of Montefiore's two books, it really is a stunning collection of caricatures and derived positions. Before I mention those, a couple of failed promises:
1. Kotkin makes much of trying not to identify the tyrant to come, lambasting (rightly) Tucker's pop-psychological effort. And yet he constantly uses the epithet 'future dictator' when speaking of all manner of activities, from grief at the death of Stalin's first wife to cutting holes in the ice to fish while in northern Siberian.
2. He also vows not to engage in gap-filling, which he describes as the bane of historical biographers. Yet, whenever he needs to fill in some lacunae, he resorts to comparisons – with Hitler (of course), Napoleon, Mussolini and so on.
Now for the caricatures:
1. Lenin was a hysterical zealot, who ran around 'screaming' for the Bolsheviks to seize power. He was also an elitist who shunned workers in favour of intellectual revolutionaries. The standard text, What is to Be Done?, is trotted out in support of this wayward suggestion. Lars Lih's monumental Lenin Rediscovered has debunked that one.
2. Stalin was a derivative thinker, writer of stolid prose and a man of Asiatic temperament (he gets this from Trotsky). Apart from the tired orientalism that runs through the book, it seems as though Kotkin has not actually studied Stalin's texts. Then again, he says clearly that nothing is to be gained by reading Stalin – in a supposed biography on Stalin.
3. The far Left and far Right are largely the same. They use the same tactics and want largely the same things. Not only does this enable Kotkin to deploy the usual reductio ad Hitlerum, but is also enables 'pat' (a favourite word) dismissals of socialism.
4. The Russian Revolution was a 'putsch' or a 'coup', carried out by a hapless, disorganised and unskilled bunch that stumbled into power. If two bullets had disposed of Lenin and Trotsky, the 'putsch' would not have happened. At the same time, Kotkin contradicts himself, since he cannot avoid the data that shows the Bolsheviks had mass support, especially in the armed forces.
5. Stalin was really another tsar. As a product of the contradictions in Russia, which enabled the Bolsheviks to fluke a coup, Stalin simply mirrored the repressive tsarist apparatus.
So where do Kotkin's sympathies lie? A telltale sign is his comment on Pyotr Stolypin, the conservative reformer: 'Tall, with blue eyes and a black beard, a figure of immense charm and sensitive to form … Stolypin was a discovery' (p. 91). Sadly, for Kotkin, Stolypin failed to overcome Russia's contradictions and turn it into a parliamentary system with capitalist economic forms.

This is one of those quick messages that will probably be deleted in a day or two. :) Just wanted to check in to let you know I haven't: a) died b) left the country or c) forgotten about you. We have a super busy week, full of fun things, and we're still recovering from the holidays. I'm sure you can all relate! Anyway, believe it or not, I take a lot of pictures...ahem...and I maaaay have maxed out the storage on our computer - which has already been amped up with more storage once before...and I have 700 Christmas photos hanging out on the camera that can't be uploaded. Eek! So hopefully we'll be back in business tomorrow. Can't wait to share our Christmas with you. :)
Later taters.

Don't Believe the Hype: Mexico Is Safe
A deserted beach on Isla Espiritu Santo (Nathan Borchelt)
The grisly discovery of 49 decapitated bodies in northern Mexico understandably populated national headlines last week. But one very important fact gets lost amid the gore and violence: Parts of Mexico are still perfectly safe.
Two weeks ago—the same time that the gruesome discovery was made just outside of San Pedro—I was in La Paz, Mexico. This gem of a city sits on the southern Baja peninsula, a world away from the drug wars unfolding across Mexico's northern mainland. In La Paz, as well as throughout Baja Sur, crime is exceptionally low; the murder rate for South Baja is 2.58 per 100,000 people, which is lower than Los Angeles (9.6), Detroit (18.1), and Washington D.C. (24), according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report.
La Paz also defies another common perception of Mexico. Though it's only two hours from Cabo San Lucas—a realm of time-shares, congested traffic, and towering, all-inclusive resorts—La Paz embraces an island mentality more akin to the Caribbean than Mexico. Clear coastline rims the city of 200,000, with a long boardwalk—or Malacón—that attracts local families who wander up and down the walkway, playing soccer in the sand, watching the setting sun, and embracing the cool breeze that rolls off the Gulf of California. Kayakers and stand-up paddlers ply the mellow waters, while locals and tourists at the waterfront Bismarkcito restaurant dine on fresh ceviche, fish tacos, and the famed chocolate clams, best eaten from the shell with a spray of fresh lime and a dollop of soy and habañero hot sauce.

Top Five Adventures in Bonaire (Besides SCUBA)
Bonaire Dive Community (Thinkstock)
Divers have been doing their best to keep Bonaire a secret for decades. They've long considered this Dutch municipality in the Caribbean a veritable home away from home, and happily allowed the rest of the world to think its highly protected reef park is the only thing going for it. But today Bonaire is on the rise, and non-divers are starting to take notice.
From incredible island hiking to world-class windsurfing, Bonaire is an all-around outdoor paradise. Better yet, unlike neighboring Aruba and Curacao, there's not a chain hotel in sight, and its easy roads and well-marked attractions make it eminently explorable, with or without a tour guide. Throw in super-friendly, Dutch-infused locals with an infectious love for their natural landscape, and you've got the DIY traveler's trifecta.
Away.com's Bonaire Travel Guide
Explore Bonaire for yourself with this lineup of the island's top five outdoor adventures—no SCUBA tanks required.
1. Washington Slagbaai National Park
With rolling desert hills and towering cactuses dominating the landscape, the rugged Washington Slagbaai National Park feels more like the American southwest than the Caribbean, except for one thing: You can't turn the bend of a dusty West Texas trail to find a deserted white-sand beach where rolling waves seem to be catered to body surfing. From hiking and mountain biking to bird watching, kayaking and cliff jumping, this park has adventures to top any visitor's must-do list. Car- and bike-friendly roads run alongside hiking trails that include a flat walk through the prickly pears out to Chikita Beach and a not-so-flat climb to the top of Branderis, the island's highest point. Aside from the visitor center at the entrance, the only facilities are found at Slaagbai, a white sand beach on the west side of the park with a single food vendor and picnic area among historic harbor buildings.

See Migrating Whale Sharks—At a Discount
The big migration: A whale shark as it passes through the waters off Cancun (Villa del Parmar)
Villa del Palmar Cancun just announced a $500 reduction in their annual Whale Shark Adventure Package, which runs through this September. For $1,598, you get five days and four nights at this plush resort, along with easy access to the migrating whale sharks. Personally, we think swimming with those massive fish is reason enough to drop everything and head south. But the resort sweetens the deal with a cache of other options, like two 50-minute massages, round-trip airport transfers, use of all non-motorized water and land toys, and more. All meals, snacks, and premium-brand alcoholic beverages are covered, and up to two children under 12 stay and eat for free when with their parents.
Editor's Note: An earlier draft referred to whale sharks as "mammals". They are, in fact, fish; their name refers to their massive size. Thanks to ND Buffington

Do the Great Barrier Reef in Style
Great Barrier Reef divers (Jeff Hunter)
If the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, then spending the night on a boat above it should be the eighth. Unlike other live-aboard experiences being offered up and down Northeastern Australia, Fantasea Adventure Cruising is less about how many dives you can log a day and more about having a good time. The docked pontoon is located 45 miles off the coast of Queensland and sleeps a maximum of six guests. Every Reef Sleep booking comes with your own host who is on hand to prepare your first-class meals and to organize activities (snorkeling, scuba diving, or extras like helicopter rides and massages). The Fantasea is also open every morning to a boatload of day-trip guests shuttled from shore to the pontoon, where they can explore the reef and enjoy the submarine viewing station, waterslide, and buffet meal. But when the boat pulls out after lunch, the only people left are the overnight guests.
My husband and I did this during our travels through Australia, and because of the unseasonal weather we had the place to ourselves, with the exception of the staff. One staff member was a 27-year-old American who had been living in Australia for the past six years, the last three working as Fantasea's onboard marine biologist. We asked Dominique about her experience and what it was like living and working Down Under.
What brought you to Australia?
I came here for school. I'm originally from Tucson, Arizona, but I did my post grad and two masters (one in ecotourism and the other in marine biology) nearby in Townsville at James Cook University.

Belize: Top 5 Insider Travel Tips
TRUE BLUE: Diving the Blue Hole, Belize (Nathan Borchelt)
This guest post comes courtesy of Joshua Berman, author of the recently updated Moon Belize travel guidebook.
- 1. If you find yourself on a tight budget after the plane fare to Belize blew most of your wad, choose a budget accommodation from the Toucan Trail, an association of small, often family-run hotels in Belize that charge less than $60 per night. Despite Belize's reputation for being an expensive Central America destination, there are over 100 of these budget options, located throughout the country. Saving money on your hotel every night means you can devote more cash to tours, activities, and restaurants.
- 2. Go on a cave trip in Cayo. The jungle-draped pyramids of Xunantunich and Caracol archeological sites are the most obvious above-ground attractions in Belize's western highlands, also known as the Cayo District. But to get a peek at Xibalba—the Maya underworld—grab a headlamp and sign up for a trip to one of the area's numerous caves. Each is different—some caves, like Barton Creek, you float through in canoes; others, like Actun Tunichil Muknal, force you to hike, swim, crawl, and climb to reach its treasures. Most caving companies are based next door to each other on Burns Avenue in San Ignacio, the area's main town.

Video: Freediving World Record Set at 288 Feet!
In April of 2009 an astounding mark was set at the Vertical Blue freediving competition in the Bahamas. Will Trubridge established a new world record for constant-weight, no-fin freediving at 288 feet. Check out this video of the dive in its eerie, utterly inhuman entirety here:
As Trubridge explains in the YouTube comments, the reason he starts to sink at the 1:20 mark is because, at a depth of around 60 meters, the body becomes negatively buoyant, letting him free fall the rest of the way. But, Trubridge explains, "This obviously works against you in the ascent, as you feel heavy after the turn at the bottom and have to swim all the way back to the surface." He also wears nose plugs and liquid-filled goggles to reduce the degree of equalization needed as he descends.
The deepest I've ever been is 110 feet—and that was with a full scuba tank. This guy, he's just amazing.

Greater Fort Lauderdale Really Is Greater
Pompano Beach Pier (courtesy, Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau)
Have you ever been to Pompano Beach? It's one of those waterfront towns, perhaps the quirkiest and most colorful of a string of beach communities that make up Greater Fort Lauderdale. And it is pretty great. It's the kind of Atlantic seaside community that put Florida on the tourism map. It's the kind of place that hard-working Americans with families travel to on vacation and then vow to one day retire in. It's like Miami's South Beach—in 1960.
It's also one of the great, warm-water dive destinations (80-plus degrees) in the continental United States. No, the coral reefs are not as rich as they used to be, not by any means, but there's still some biological diversity below the surface. And it's a great, non-threatening place to learn to dive. The folks that run the dive shops are cool and fun to hang with.

Cenote Excursions: Perfect Rain or Shine
LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL: Cave diving, Riviera Maya, Mexico (courtesy, RivieraMaya.com)
The Riviera Maya is world renowned for its spectacular white sand beaches, where you can spend weeks on end laying in the sun, margarita in one hand, trashy novel in the other. But there will be days when it rains. Or simply days when you want a break from the beach. Cenote diving or snorkeling is a perfect alternative if you're looking to do something different.
Cenotes are sinkholes that are carved out of the Riviera Maya's extensive underground river system. They line the coast from Playa del Carmen all the way to Tulum. All are filled with crystalline water and often are connected to one another by tunnels. Some are open air, but the best, at least in my opinion, are those in caves and caverns.

Snorkeling With Whale Sharks off Isla Holbox (Mexico)
"When the captain cuts the engine, jump out of the boat and start swimming as fast as you can," said our guide. We'd been on the water since daybreak and had just arrived at the site. I looked out over what appeared to be a sea of floating mattresses. Huge ones... all moving. We were bobbing above a shoal of 30-foot-long whale sharks. I adjusted my mask and snorkel and asked, again, "You're sure they won't hurt us, right?"
I was in the middle of a two-month tour of the Yucatán with my husband, and we'd seen an island on the map—Isla Holbox—that we'd never heard of. On a whim, we went. A three-hour bus ride from Cancun and a quick ferry ride landed us in the sort of place people dream of: a one town island with sand streets, no cars, Caribbean-style clapboard houses, a handful of eco-friendly hotels, and miles and miles of windswept beaches. That, and from June to September, one of the best places in the world to see whale sharks. They're the largest fish in the world, growing up to 40 feet and weighing between ten and twenty tons. Fortunately for those wanting to swim alongside them, whale sharks aren't man-eaters, sticking instead to plankton, macro-algae, and krill that they skim off of the surface. Tour operators also follow strict conservation guidelines to prevent stressing out the sharks; only two snorkelers and a guide are allowed in the water with any individual whale shark and the duration and number of swim-alongs are limited.

best gaming power supply
Specifications include Intel standard ATX 12V V2.3 compliant, EMI noise filter, 70% load efficiency (those looking for 80 plus look below), green power design, OVP/OCP/OPP/SCP protection, 1 x 120mm fan, 20+4Pin main connector, PCI-E connector 1 x 6-Pin, support for dual +12V1 and +12V2 outputs.
Picture: If you don't need a modular power supply, then Rosewill's Fortress power supply gives you quality components, platinum efficiency, and a super low price compared to its competitors.
If you don't need a modular power supply, then Rosewill's Fortress power supply gives you quality components, platinum efficiency, and a super low price compared to its competitors.
For the 70% Efficient power supply you would need to draw 571.43 watts in order to achieve the average of 400 watts your computer needs or a total of 4.571 kWh in an 8 hour day.
The 90% efficient power supply would need to draw 444.44 watts in order to achieve the 400 watts of power your computer needs on average.
Keep in mind that efficiency pays for itself in the long-run and that an efficient power supply draws more effective power from the wall.
Picture: Seasonic's platinum 1000 watt power supply is expensive at just over $200, but may well be worth the high cost in long-term savings.
However, the professional series is solid and this particular model gives you decent value by combining a modular platinum power supply with a great amount of capacity.
Seasonic's platinum 1000 watt power supply is expensive at just over $200, but may well be worth the high cost in long-term savings.
At the same time a 500 watt power supply which has 70% efficiency will only give you 350W of usable power.
Welcome to TechPowerUp Forums, Guest! Please check out our forum guidelines for info related to our community.
Discussion in 'System Builder's Advice' started by IAMSAM, Feb 1, 2014.
Building a High end Gaming pc.Need Advice on Psu.
I mention here for gaming PSU/Power supply, because most of time people are upgrade there systems for gaming purpose and very less time for other professional working purpose.
PSU/Power supply is One of the most important hardware on your computer, basically for gaming.
Check out them, these PSU/Power supply has lots of good reviews from users and they are happy and experiencing better performance while using their computer/systems.
PSU/Power supplier are Categoried into various categories like 400 to 450 watt, 500 to 550 watt, upto 1000 watts.
Available in 850W, 1000W, and even 1200W models, the high-end Aurum PT line boasts super high efficiency (over 92 percent), enough wattage to run the most demanding gaming systems, flat-ribbon modular cables to help keep the inside of your case nice and clutter free (as possible), and a neat looking design, in case the opportunity to show off your PSU ever presents itself.
If only hitman Chev Chelios had access to EVGA's latest power supply in the Crank: High Voltage series, he wouldn't need to go looking for sources of electricity to keep himself ticking.
That's why we're a little excited to see Corsair announce its new HXi Series of power supplies with 80 Plus Platinum certification, which is only achieved when reaching greater than 92 percent energy efficiency.
Corsair calls the AX1500i the most technologically advanced and efficient power supply on the planet, a claim we'd have a hard time debating after glancing this beast's spec sheet.
If you're willing to pay for the luxury, EVGA will now sell you individually sleeved cable sets that support all SuperNova G2 and P2 power supply series.
If you're looking for a beefy PSU to power a high-end rig with multiple graphics card, this looks like a candidate, at least based on the spec sheet (and EVGA's reputation).
Or, you technically could put a high-end video card in a system with a low-end power supply, but it probably won't work and it's possible that you could damage your system and destroy your other components.
So, if you're not looking to run 3-way or 4-way SLI/CrossFire and overclock your CPU and video card to record-breaking levels, there really isn't need for such a large power supply.
While the wattage may seem a little low and it isn't modular, don't be fooled into thinking this PSU isn't a good choice for you… this power supply can definitely handle some of the bigger named video cards (GTX 660, GTX 660ti, HD 7850, etc.) and will give you more for your money that you could have ever imagined.
While 850W is overkill for a single video card setup, this power supply is a great option for anyone looking to run 2-way SLI or CrossFire configurations.
If, however, you want to run a 2-way SLI/CrossFire setup with two high-end video cards, then a solid 850W power supply will do the trick.
However, even if you do want to use a high-end video card like the GTX 780 Ti, a quality 550W power supply will give you enough power as well.
If you choose a low-end power supply you won't be able to put in a high-end video card.
A quality 700W-750W power supply will allow you to run two moderate video cards in SLI/CrossFire configuration.
These power supplies will also give you quite a bit of headroom for system tuning if you're building a high-end single video card setup.
Again, unless you're planning on running multiple video card configurations now or in the future and getting into some extreme system tuning, there really isn't a need for this much power.
With the PC Power and Cooling Mk III 750W PSU, you will not only get extremely high quality from a tier 1 power supply, but you will also get a modular design and as close to a silent PSU as humanly possible.
So, the bottom line is that, unless you're building an extreme setup that utilizes multiple video cards (or plan to in the future) the power supplies in this list are probably the route you want to go.
It doesn't matter how awesome your gaming computer is, if you pair it with a cheap power supply you're asking for trouble.
Do you want to run quad GTX 780 Tis in SLI configuration and laugh at the extra headroom you still have? Or, would you like to move off the grid and power your small log cabin using a wind turbine? Either way, this PSU could probably be used in both scenarios… With all joking aside, this power supply is likely the result of two Greek Gods having a baby together.
In this article I'm going to take a look at the best gaming power supplies available so that you don't make the mistake of choosing a cheap low-quality power supply.
There are multiple options for each wattage range, but know that this list doesn't include every quality power supply out there.
There's nothing like getting a modular 600+ watt 80Plus Bronze PSU made by a tier 1 power supply manufacturer for under $100.
So, even though your power supply won't give you a higher framerate or increase your screen resolution to 1080p, it's still one of the most important components in your system.
And, your power supply is also important because the quality of the PSU you choose now will dictate what other components you can put into your computer right now and down the road.
The power supply is well put together and I really liked having the modular cables (there are plenty of different cables and they are all wrapped in nylon mesh).
I bought this power supply for my first computer build and I am very pleased! I have been using it for over two weeks now, non-stop, and it has not failed me once.
If you're building a budget system, a 450W power supply will more than do the trick.
Sure, it's a little ridiculous for a power supply, but if you've got the money to do so, then you might as well get as ridiculous as possible.
I've broken down the categories into wattage mainly because there are a ton of different power supply "tier" lists out there and I feel like it would be easier for builders to search by the wattage they need.
I will be upgrading my graphics card soon and I plan on updating my review saying if there are any differences when the power supply is under load.
This is a great power supply, and I love that it's 90% modular.
600W-800W Power Supply Comparison Chart Picture Power Supply Watts Mod.
800W-1000W Power Supply Comparison Chart Picture Power Supply Watts Mod.
I need a PSU with enough power connecters to power the harddrives and blu ray drive with spares for future upgrades, a decent wattage and certification, long cables to fit around my case and also a longer gap between connecters (current PSU has too short of a cable between the connectors meaning not everything reachs.

Over the past 6 years the folks over at the NewEgg community forums have been breaking power supplies down into tier lists based upon their part quality, load testing, ripple and noise measurements, build quality, and more.
Cooler Master V750: This high quality 100% japanese capacitor power supply is a top tiered option for those looking for a quality PSU that will last a long time.
Corsair CX Series 750 Watt: Just like above you're not getting the absolutely highest tier with the CX series, but this is still a good value option for those doing a budget build or even a mid-range build that still want a high level of wattage and may not be worried about setting any overclocking world records.
If, for example, you're constantly running two GTX 780 TIs in SLI, then more than likely you should shoot for a power supply that's rated the top end of the scale in energy efficiency by the 80 Plus program.
For each capacity of power supply I've included my favorite Tier 1-3 picks.
You don't want something so expensive that it takes away from your key components, but if you're spending a lot on your rig already, then it's probably a good idea to go with something that's better quality to help your components last a long time.
Tier 1: At this level there's not a lot of difference between a tier 1 and tier 2 gold certified power supply.
It's tempting to want to skimp on your power supply when building a computer; however, there's a few important reasons not to.
The FirePower Silencer MKIII is a platinum option (formerly PC power and cooling) I threw into the mix for this level; however, it's very pricey compared to the other two models.
Over the past year I've been able to find several budget Power supplies in the under $30 to $40 range that meet this criteria.
The price per watt of power increases exponentially with efficiency and those who don't constantly run their computers may not find they save money beyond a certain efficiency level.
