The American Ali Baba: George W. Bush & His 40 Thieves
by Dr. Alex Shami, Author House Press, Indiana, published in 2004
In "The American Ali Baba," Shami accomplishes three rare things. (1) He draws on the roots of Arabic folk culture, comparing George W. Bush to the mythical thief, Ali Baba, (2) analyzes, from a Lebanese perspective, the Bush agenda critically and historically with a primer to the identities and histories of major Bush neo-cons like Donald Rumsfeld who predated, then surrounded, and now continue to echo the Bush presidency, and (3) reminds the reader, from the perspective of a Lebanese native now living in America, of the many Americans, like Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee, who've fought for justice both before Bush and now.
"American Ali Baba" has nine chapters. The first retells the ancient tale of Ali Baba, a modest Baghdad wood gatherer who discovers a cave full of treasure horded by a gang of thieves. Ali Baba steals from these thieves, is discovered and nearly murdered by them, and with the help of his companion, Morgiana, succeeds in killing them and taking their ill-gotten treasure. He protects his wealth by passing on to his descendants the secret of gaining access to the cave: the magic words, "open sesame."
Another section, "The American Ali Baba - George W. Bush," compares what Shami calls "the greed, lies, and deception in the ancient tale of Ali Baba" to the corruption of the then Thief-in-Chief, George W., who also benefitted from the stolen loot of prior thieves without having worked for it himself.
"The reason I wrote this book," said Shami when I interviewed him, "Is because I feel Bush is playing strange politics. I call him the 'American Ali Baba' ironically. He is heavily involved in religion, yet I can't really freely practice Islam, my own religion. He's stealing my right to practice my beliefs, stealing my freedom of speech, putting lots of Arab-American and other citizens into prison under his policy of 'secret evidence."
The most enlightening section of this book is chapter six, "His 40 Thieves," a primer with small but detailed histories of the rouges' gallery of 'thieves' such as Paul Woolfowitz, Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, and Karl Rove, who in Shami's words, are "those individuals who tarnish and erode the rights of all Americans and tarnish world opinion of this great nation."
Chapter six exposes the web of nepotism and conspiracy between these thieves dating as far back as the 1980's. Says Shami: "In the process of furthering their dark agendas, they usurp power, stripping Americans of their rights, natural resources, jobs, respect as a nation, and international admiration. This is thievery of the most severe order."
Shami not only offers a history of Bush's thieves. His book also offers an optimistic vision, long before Obama appeared on the presidential horizon, of what America was meant to be, and what it could still become for its ethnic citizens. In the chapter, "Early American Perspectives" he provides eye-opening quotes from early American leaders like James Madison and George Washington who both warned of dangerous times like those Americans have faced since 911.
An independent politically, Shami has served on the board of the Dearborn Department of Libraries and on the Board of Trustees of Henry Ford Community College. He has run for Dearborn City Council as an independent, and has run for state office. Like many immigrants, Shami seems to value American democracy even more than some native born Americans.
"I am Lebanese," he says. "But I am American, I am a Dearborn citizen. Like America itself, every inch of Dearborn is Dearborn. Every citizen is a citizen, whether they are ethnic, newcomer, senior, or not, we are all Americans. I see value in the Republican Party, but I am in trouble with the Republican Party. I'm a Democrat who often runs as an independent. But that's what Democracy means."
Though "The American Ali Baba" was published some time ago, and though Bush has passed out of our nightmares since this interview was done, Shami's book still stands as an articulate indictment of the Bush years, a shrewd analysis of Bush's crimes against Islam, and an imaginative glimpse into Arabic mythology and ancient Arab narrative symbolism.
For all those reasons, Alex Shami is a "Race Man" in the old school tradition and in the old school Hadith.

The ultimate competition suit for maximum performance. This so-called rubber suit is built up of various materials that are both technical and tested in wind tunnels in order to acquire the best aerodynamics and therefore minimum aerodynamic drag. In addition, the use of rubber-coated materials on certain body parts provide muscle support, which saves energy while skating. Sizing is individually based on the height, arm and leg length, as well as the weight of the skater.
The colour selection and design of this competition skating suit is always made in consultation with Hunter. This is because of the special pattern and the coated rubber materials which are not available in all the colours. The technology implemented in this skating suit is identical to the competition suits of the top teams Beslist.nl, Bam-Univé and Team Belgium with amongst others Bart Swings.

Post-construction surveys at operational wind farms are an essential part of the on-going monitoring that all wind farm developers should undertake. The monitoring protocols are recommended in guidelines for wind farm surveys published by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH 2010)[1] and Natural England (NE TIN069, 2010)[2].
Reasons for Post-Construction Monitoring
Post-construction monitoring is an integral part of wind farm survey protocol and is primarily used to test the accuracy of pre-construction survey methods and assessment and to ascertain whether there are any unforeseen impacts of an operational wind farm on birds and bats. In addition, whilst the methods for wind farm assessment are robust they need to be constantly monitored to keep them up to date.
The methods used in the UK to assess the impacts of collision mortality on bird's uses a theoretical Collision Risk Model (Band 2005). This model is not flawless and when devised assumed that birds would largely avoid operational wind turbines, in the same way that birds generally avoid other structures such as buildings. The avoidance rates were, at the time, a 'best guess' and this is one area in which post construction studies have increased the knowledge of the true effects of operational wind farms on birds.
The original avoidance rates were estimated at approximately 95% for most species however as a result of post-construction studies most have been revised up to between 98% and 99%. There are a couple of exceptions, such as White-tailed Eagle and Common Kestrel, which appear to have worse avoidance rates than other similar species and remain at 95%. In essence for most species this means that the model assumes that between 98% and 99% of flights within a wind farm area will avoid the operational turbines.
Post-construction monitoring will usually involve a repeat of pre-construction surveys as well as completing carcass searches. These searches are very important to show the true number of birds and bats that have collided with the operational turbines.
Carcass Searches
At present surveys involve walking linear transects within a search area around each operational turbine looking for bat and bird carcasses, with surveys normally completed every 7 – 14 days (Drewitt and Langston 2008, Lucas et al. 2000 and Osborn et al. 2000). These methods are very time-consuming, impractical and biased as they rely on visually searching an area that greatly depends on the skills of the observer, the size of the carcass, vegetation cover and topography (Drewitt and Langston 2008).
Bats are generally found within an area half the length of the turbine tower however bird carcasses are found over a larger area; usually up to the length to turbine tip. With the advent of new larger more powerful turbines this can mean search areas up to 9.0 ha, which can take a staggering 9 – 10 hours searching by a trained ecologist. That equates to a single days work just to search one turbine.
A study at operational wind farms in Portugal was completed in 2011 where specially trained dogs were used to search for carcasses. The findings supported previously completed trials and were quite eye-opening in terms of both searcher efficiency and detection rates (Paula et al. 2011). This should also be good news for wind farm operators as increasing efficiency of post construction surveys will have a knock-on effect of reducing costs. The dogs were shown to increase efficiency rates of between 4 and 12 times, therefore increasing the speed of the surveys per turbine and detection rates of almost 100% in all habitat types. Detection rates for human searchers were as low as 10% in tall, denser vegetation.
Dogs really are the way forward for completing carcass searches in terms of both providing a cost effective service to clients and increasing the validity and value of post-construction surveys. This latter point will increase the robustness of pre-construction assessment processes and serve to enhance the'green' credentials of renewable energy.
The Future is Bright –It's Liver and White
Back in August 2011 Turnstone Ecology bought a Clumber Spaniel puppy in order to train her as a specialist search dog for operational wind farms. Named Luna (which was not intended to be short for Lunatic but is quite apt!), she is now 7 months old and we're waiting for her first season and then search training will begin in earnest. Currently she's being trained to the whistle and various hand signals but she already covers the ground very well and seems to have a very good nose; mostly for chocolate, plastic or anything chewable! The blog will be kept updated with her progress.
In the mean-time we have contacts to other dogs with the ability to complete post-construction studies, which will assist in passing on the cost saving that the efficient searches provide. Alternatively we can continue to do them the old fashioned way.
Turnstone Ecology has experience of both pre- and post-construction wind farm studies, including activity and vantage point surveys. We are constantly looking for innovative ways of making the process of planning such developments simpler and more efficient and have recently developed a model (based on Band 2005) that assists us with the Collision Risk Assessment process. This allows for the changes within turbine layout and removal of turbines to be reflected within the output of the Collision Risk Assessment and saves both time and costs within what is always a highly iterative process.
If you are planning a new wind farm project or need some advice or assistance with an operational wind farm we would be delighted to hear from you.Please contact us at email@example.com for further information.

SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) Alex Francis scored 25 points and Shane McLaughlin's layup with six seconds left gave Bryant a 79-78 overtime victory over Mount St. Mary's Thursday night in a Northeast Conference thriller.
McLaughlin's only points of the game won it for the Bulldogs (12-4, 5-0).
Bryant, which got double-figure scoring from Dyami Starks (18 points), Corey Maynard (13), Joe O'Shea (11) and Frankie Dobbs (10), led 60-50 in the second half. Then the Mountaineers (6-10, 1-4) made a furious run.
Rashad Whack fueled it with 8 of his 17 points. When Shivaughn Wiggins (20 points) hit a trey to tie it 67-67, it went to overtime.
The lead exchanged hands, Mount St. Mary's leading 72-69 until Dobbs' tying trey. Despite a Francis three-point play, two Dobbs foul shots and his trey, Bryant couldn't shake the Mountaineers.
Julian Norfleet's basket with 0:21 left put the Mountaineers up 78-77. Then McLaughlin won it.

One day when my twins, a boy and a girl, were about 7 years old, we were out running errands.
We left one store and headed for the car. I entered the driver's door, my son got in the front passenger door, but I noticed that I didn't hear a rear door open and close.
I looked around to see that my daughter was still outside the car — her arms crossed, one hand clutching a little green purse made of stiff paper — staring disapprovingly at the door.
I rolled down the back window and asked, "What are you doing?"
She responded, "I'm a princess, and princesses don't touch doorknobs."
Having no idea where she had gotten such a notion, I was equal parts amused and irritated by it. I said, "Get in the car, sweetheart." She repeated her refusal.
This was now a standoff.
So, I started to inch the car forward as if I was going to leave without her. She jumped in the car in a huff: "Why didn't you open that door for me, Williams?"
"Who is Williams?" I asked.
"You," she said. "On TV when people have servants they're always called Williams or something like that."
I had had enough. I turned in my seat and explained to her that, yes, I did call her my princess, and although I loved her dearly, I would not pamper her. I told her that her value and worth were not in what men would do for her, but in what she could do for herself. I told her that in our family, as in life, she would have to be self-sufficient and self-reliant, and that included deigning to touch doorknobs, or in this case, car door handles. And I told her that if she ever called me Williams again, she would be punished.
Williams disappeared into the ether.
Now my daughter is a high school junior, a great student who often makes the honor roll, and a championship fencer who is ranked No. 2 in the country in her age group and weapon. She wants to go to college and study to become a doctor.
She has blossomed into the self-assured, self-sufficient and self-reliant young woman I hoped she'd become, and she now rails against, and writes about, gender bias and gender stereotype. But she still likes to carry a nice purse. Some things never change.
When I think of my amazing young lady going off into a world where there is still a gender-pay gap, it makes me furious.
I don't see this as a women's issue, but a societal issue and a moral one. This is not an issue for men to observe from a distance, because we are integral parts of it. First, there is little distance to be had: We all have mothers, and many of us have sisters, wives or daughters. Second, lower pay for women is only apparent in its relation to higher pay for men. So men are woven through the fabric of this issue.
A 2011 census report found that in 2010 "the earnings of women who worked full time, year-round were 77 percent of that for men working full time, year-round."
Now, part of that gap can be accounted for by the differences between men and women in the number of hours worked and the occupations chosen — take that into account and the gap is smaller. But those things also have an inherent gender bias because the "choices" women make are often based on slow-evolving gender constructs about who should do the majority of child-rearing and home-making.
A 2012 study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research found that, while the pay gap varied by occupation, "Women's median earnings are lower than men's in nearly all occupations, whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of men and women."
Another 2012 study, this one by the American Association of University Women, found that even when men and women attend the same colleges, the gap persists.
According to the study "Graduating to a Pay Gap":
"In 2009 — the most recent year for which data are available — women one year out of college who were working full times earned, on average, just 82 percent of what their male peers earned. After we control for hours, occupation, college major, employment sector, and other factors associated with pay, the pay gap shrinks but does not disappear."
The researchers posit two theories that might help explain the gap: gender discrimination and gender differences in the willingness to negotiate salary.
When looking at doctors specifically, a study last year that was published in the Journal of American Medical Association found that while the gender pay gap is shrinking in the overall population, in the medical arena it has persisted — or even widened.
And, also to be sure that they were comparing apples to apples, the study cites data that "suggest that female physicians currently earn less than male physicians even after adjustments for specialty, practice type, and hours worked."
Even differences in special types, the authors write, "may be due not only to preferences of female physicians but also unequal opportunities."
These kinds of disparities and inequities are unconscionable, and men must be more vocal about saying so.
Why should a Dr. Williams be expected to make more than my Dr. Sword-Fighting Princess?

Founded in 2013 as a live chat service by Boostify's managing director, Jonathan Thirkill, the last five years have seen him develop the technology into a fully-fledged conversion rate optimisation (CRO) platform, which empowers organisations to track, engage and convert more website visitors than ever before into sales and revenue.
With a powerful suite of customisable tools including Social Proof, Chat and Capture – the latter of which enables businesses to send targeted, GDPR-compliant forms to customers – companies can gain an in-depth understanding of what content makes their visitors tick.
As well as the site's granular targeting and segmentation functionality, the widgets' dynamic nature also means that they auto-update throughout each stage of the customer journey.
The whole process is designed to equip site users with the confidence they need to continue through the sales cycle and – most importantly – feel understood and valued by a brand.
"There are currently no online tools on the market which integrate so many advanced, conversion-specific features into one digital offering, and that's what makes our technology unique," explains Jonathan.
"Many companies shy away from CRO because they're either too overwhelmed about how and where to start, or because they're hesitant to invest time and money into processes which carry ROI uncertainty."
Boostify's unique selling point is that – through omitting time-heavy web development and A/B testing phases – in-house marketing teams and agencies can trial content variations and roll them out in minutes, without the need for outsourcing.
This breaks down complex, technical barriers – which prevent digital marketers from creating an effective conversion strategy – and instead makes CRO universally accessible.
Jonathan's industry analysis shows a substantial shift in marketing spend towards CRO, especially as the competitiveness of traditional lead-generation methods continues to rise. Over the next 12 months, he predicts a 15% growth in the CRO market, with Boostify well positioned to capitalise on this.
Previously head of conversion at Age Partnership, Jonathan's extensive website optimisation background saw him increase the financial firm's conversion rate by double digits. He soon realised that the tools he developed to transform their online traffic into bottom-line revenue could help organisations nationwide.
Offering his concluding comments on how the platform will change the marketing landscape, Jonathan said: "I genuinely believe that the platform could save the average marketer 6 hours per week.
"Any business which is looking to increase its traffic – whilst being smart about how it hones this to generate profit and supersede conversion goals – would benefit from Boostify's powerful dashboard."
The CRO system is available via a monthly subscription model, including optional on-boarding, consulting and technical support.
"There are currently no online tools on the market which integrate so many advanced, conversion-specific features into one digital offering, and that's what makes our technology unique."

Thomas The Tank Engine is better than everything else in the world, says Joshua Danton Boyd in this funny article at Sabotage Times. Here are three of his reasons why Thomas Rules.
He's Got Style Have you seen that paint job? Geez, he pulls that off perfect. The thing is, no one else could. He's speeding down those tracks arresting gazes wherever he goes. Past council houses and posh estates, everyone's got respect for the way he carries himself. Mick Jagger couldn't pull that colour scheme off, no way. EvenBowie would baulk at that shit. Thomas doesn't even care. His look is effortless. He was given that paint job and he owns it without breaking a sweat. You dress yourself and you look like arse.
Ringo Starr Works For Him That's right. That goggle-eyed, ring-wearing, smiley Beatle has been forced into submission by The Tank. A man incredibly rich and famous is bent to Thomas' will, narrating every action of his life. Whatever you think of Starr, making a Beatle spend his time concentrating and talking about you is no easy feat
He's Got His Own Theme Tune Everyone wants their own theme tune. That's why MP3 players are so popular as they make us feel like whatever shit we're listening to is sound-tracking our lives. As we walk to work, we imagine ourselves in a film in a desperate ten minutes of escapism where we try to avoid the crushing reality that all we are are tools for our superiors to make money. Thomas gets one done for him for no other reason than he deserves one. A song solely written for him, just like Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di got, except The Tank's one is a ton better.

So, a very topical question in the news these days is whether companies have been engaging in large share repurchase programs at the expense of investing for future growth.
One of the indicators that we follow and that is a broad market indicator is looking at capacity utilization within the industrial landscape. And normally when that number crosses, the critical level is 80. And that normally signals that companies need to invest for future growth. Over the past few years, with modest economic growth, that number has not hit that critical level. Now it's not to say that companies haven't been investing, because they have, but they've been more selective. And we like the fact that companies have remained disciplined in where they invest.
In the meantime, with healthy corporate margins as well as strong balance sheets, companies have had excess cash to give back to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchase programs. Now once the economy picks up, we do think that companies will respond and invest in the areas that they need to.
Christopher S. Beck, CFA
Chief Investment Officer — Small-Cap Value / Mid-Cap Value Equity
To me, the important thing going forward potentially is that dividends may go up much faster than earnings. That can be the unexpected tailwind for stocks over the next couple of years. People are looking for what may make stocks go in what is probably going to be a very modest economic growth environment. Dividend growth that's well in excess of earnings would be a positive for the market and certainly for those individual stocks.

Also, add the reverse, swing and reverb effects, and when you combine Volca Sample with the rest of Volca or Electribe series through Sync I/O, be sure to expect some quality grooves. One of the main features of the module is that it is battery powered.

Construction Considerations After Winter Storm Nemo
Preti Flaherty's Construction Law Updates provide news and analysis on issues of interest in the construction industry.
Force Majeure Rights – Winter Storm Nemo Edition
Winter Storm Nemo caused extensive damage and disruption, and delays continue to mount as supply chains have been affected and resources diverted. While many contracts contain force majeure clauses that allow for equitable adjustments in the contract price and schedule, these clauses generally contain strict time limits (often ranging from 24-hours to 10 days) that must be followed. As part of any presentation of, or response to, a force majeure claim, you should carefully consider the amount of time that the contract allows, as well as the level of detail that must be included.
Read Before Signing - Know Your Lien Waivers
Contractors often think of lien waivers as a mere formality that simply waives a contractor's (or subcontractor's) right to lien for the money they are being paid. In some instances, that is exactly what the lien waiver does. However, in many other instances, waivers also go further and require the contractor or subcontractor to waive all claims for payment for work performed prior to that date. Lien waivers are binding contractual documents, and are not mere "receipts" evidencing payment. Understanding the language of a lien waiver is critical to all parties involved in any construction project.
Preti Congratulates Ken Rubinstein on Being Named One of ENR New England's Top 20 Construction Professionals Under 40
ENR New England recently announced its list of the top 20 construction professionals in New England. This list includes executives and leaders from major firms such as Consigli, Gilbane, Jones Lang LaSalle, Kleinfelder, Tocci, and many others.
Preti Flaherty is proud to congratulate our colleague, Ken Rubinstein, for being named to this year's list.

James Ibori declared wanted by the EFCC!!!!
Mscheeeew!!!!!!!!!! abeg make i hear word.
I don't know about you guys, but am tired of this whole circus.
How may times will the EFCC arrest and take this guy to court and after everything nothing happens.
I think at this point the dude is probably laughing at them or he isn't finding it funny anymore.
Btw, Ibori married his 3rd wife sometime last year, while his previous wives still battle for their freedom in london courts. This reminds me of something my mum used to say, ''no follow naija man play rough play bcos when trouble go come, im go leave u run''
Even though am nt an Ibori fan, you have to ask, was he the only governor that looted in office? What of the mega thief Peter Odili?
Till he and others like him are arrested and convicted and jailed, the EFCC can do whatever they want and it won't concern me.

Please Note: This product is a special order and is non-returnable except in the event of a fault (during its warranty period) when the product, once returned will be repaired or replaced.
The solar panel must be installed in a location where it can receive full direct sunshine (when available) and usually set facing South at an appropriate angle (where adjustment options allow). The solar panel must not be installed in a shaded or part shaded location and never indoors. The standard specifications of the system (particularly the solar panel Wattage and battery capacity) may need to be adjusted. These components are determined by your geographic location, power consumption (LED Wattage) and the total amount of hours of illumination time required. Such changes to the standard specifications may increase or decrease the cost shown. Please contact us for more information or assistance. The illumination time is estimated and subject to various factors including (but not limited to) geographic location, seasons, temperature, weather conditions & location of product etc. The illumination time of most solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor and the days are shorter. During this time insolation hours decrease accordingly. Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above factors does not define the product as being 'defective' or 'not as described'. All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light. This does not define the product as being 'defective' or 'not as described'. Please note, if you do not install or use this product for several months the battery may discharge naturally on its own. By allowing a battery to deep discharge it may cause irreversible damage as the battery may then lose the ability to recharge or hold a full charge. Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by the manufacturer, without further notice. Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.

One of the most popular extensions for Firefox 3 is Adblock Plus. This extension allows users to block ads and banners from the sites they navigate to. Even though Internet Explorer 7 & 8 both have add-ons such as Firefox, there is no free Adblock Plus for them. Fortunately for Internet Explorer 8 fans, now there is a way to build your own adblock filters. In this article I will show you where to find those filters and how to import them into your Internet Explorer 8.
First, you need to download a list of filters adapted from the adblock plus list for Internet Explorer 8. This can be found here or attached at the end of this article. Download the archive and extract its content.
NOTE: If you want to have the ad blocking filters running each time you use Internet Explorer 8, then follow the instructions on how to keep InPrivate Filtering enabled forever.
Start Internet Explorer 8, click on Tools and then on Manage Add-ons.
In the Manage Add-ons window, click on InPrivate Filtering and then on Import.
Browse to the location where you extracted the rules.xml file, select it and click on Open.
When the import is done, you will receive a notification such as the one below.
Now close the Manage Add-ons window and you are done.
If you know other sources for good filters, don't hesitate to share them with us by leaving a comment.

Firefox 3: a short review on Windows Vista
I've been looking for an AdBlock Plus alternative for Internet Explorer for some time now, and I still haven't been satisfied with other products. So, thank you for this because it's one step closer to the real thing.
It works like a charm, i'm glad i found this workaround. The only thing is (yes, it does block the ad), but it doesn't make it go away like in firefox addon, i mean, instead of the ad there's a blank picture in place where the ad used to be. That's a bummer, anyway is still aprecciated.
Thank you for the info.
can u guys pls add vimax .cdn.net really driving me crazy or how do i add it my self thx
I found this IE ad blocker a few days ago: http://simple-adblock.com/
So far I've been happy with it. Blocks pretty well.
I just tried simple adblock and it works perfectly.
Not powerful enough, i just use adblock pro.
Simple-adblock (or S.A.D. as I call it) does NOT work and when I emailed them about this a few days ago, they did not even respond, so don't even bother with it. Clearly they don't give a crap.
I just tried the adblock filter rules and it works GREAT! I hate the ads on Hotmail the most and now their blocked. Webpages load faster too.
Ciprian, THANK YOU so much for providing this info and easy-to-follow instructions!!
Simple Adblock DOES WORK! It works with IE6 IE7 and IE8.
Simple Adblock uses a DIRECT port of Adblock Plus Easylist filters (which is a combination of Easylist and EasyElement filters).
With Simple Adblock you can also specify your own filters, the filter rules are identical to the format defined by adblockplus, hence you can copy your own filter list created with Adblockplus to this file.
Looove this so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And figured out how to add more ads that aren't on the list. Open a new NotePad, open the Rules.xml file, copy and paste the last line, then copy and paste replacing the url with the new ad you want to block. I just did it and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for this Ciprian.
Like others, I have been adding to the list. What I do is create my own rules.xml and keep importing in whenever I add something. Mine is JoeBailey_rules.xml and I simply change the extention to .txt to add stuff (change back to .xml to import.) I took the base file with one "item" from your original and "copy, paste, modify" new items as I need. I keep the one you posted intact and import it first then modify and keep importing mine.
{?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?}{rss version="2.0" xmlns:wf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/webfilter/2008"}{channel} {title}JoeBailey_rules{/title} {description}Export of InPrivate Filtering{/description}
{item}{description}XXXX.com{/description}{wf:blockRegex}{![CDATA[XXXX.com]]} {/wf:blockRegex} {/item}
ITEM to add:
{item}{description}XXXX.com{/description}{wf:blockRegex}{![CDATA[XXXX.com]]} {/wf:blockRegex} {/item}
I run Xp and and IE 8 and Ihave had zero success with any and all ad blockers. I am really frustrated.
I loaded the filters and I'm running "in private". I still see the ads on yahoo mail.
I also tried simple ad blocker. This caused my IE 8 to crash/freeze the minute I opened a second tab. Got tired of that after seven restarts in 2 hours.
The only reason I am looking for an ad blocker now is the virus vector via java and flash in ads. I've been nailed twice and I am tired of it. I dont want to be forced to another browser.
Been a number of years since you created your blocklist. Could you possibly do an updated list?

So I wanted to share a video I found recently, from a channel called, "From seed to spoon". It's a small backyard in Oklahoma (US) and they're using the existing infrastructure, to help select sites for growing plants in different seasons.
I thought it was really interesting, as I'm sure a lot of people find it challenging to grow large, in small spaces. There are often too many shadows, where plants won't thrive, or excessive radiant heat, which could bake plants instead of growing them. But if you observe your environment, and change how you're growing things to meet those conditions, success is inevitable.
I hope you enjoy watching this video, and let me know if you're following any of this advice already? Or what have you learned about gardening in your own challenging conditions, to succeed?

Shanghai exchange to limit trading halts to five months: state newspaper
[SHANGHAI] China's main stock exchange plans to limit trading suspensions to five months, the official China Securities Journal said on Monday, a move that could help clarify regulations for a practice that's often caused headaches for investors.
Loose regulation of trading suspensions in China came into sharp focus in July when half the firms on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges suspended their shares to avoid tumbles during a market crash.
Under current rules, firms can officially request trading halts for periods of between 10 working days and three months, although many find ways to extend the suspensions far longer, allowing them to skirt volatility in the market.
Under the recommended regulations, firms would be allowed to suspend trading for up to three months, and they could apply for only a single two-month extension, the business daily said, citing a statement from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Stock exchange insiders say firms often game the system to suspend trading in their shares. Suspensions normally need to be linked to major restructuring, planned share placements or the pending release of "significant matters".
The China Securities Journal said currently around 13 per cent of trading suspensions are longer than five months, while around 60 per cent last less than three months.

Since white girls embracing their whiteness has become a thing, the world has gotten incredibly tired of hearing the word "literally." White girls being among the most considerate demographic in the world, they have decided to take this worldwide exhaustion into account, and have adopted a new word to use as their primary form of communication.
"Figuratively," has, up until very early this morning, not been a part of traditional white girl vocabulary. However, since the discovery of the word, Brittani Jo Fletcher, cheer captain at Northeastish Iowa High School and international basic white girl, who first coined the term "PSL," has truly enjoyed exploring the many uses of the word figuratively.
Brittani reported to the Jester that earlier today, she used "figuratively" for the first time in a sentence. "And I said, to my best friend Sammi Jo Andersen, 'I am figuratively so hungry right now that I could eat like five avocados.'"
Sammi Jo Andersen reported that she quickly caught on to Brittani's new words, and provided a catchy retort: "I figuratively am going to gain a hundred pounds over Thanksgiving, so there is figuratively no way I can eat five avocados. I figuratively just have to do SoulCycle all day until Turkey Day."
Sammi and Brittani's besties, Amanda Jo Logan and Kylie Jo Wright, told Jester that they are "so #excited" to celebrate the holidays with their families. "My baby cousin is figuratively the cutest human alive," Amanda reported, "I can't wait to figuratively squeeze her face off."
Kylie stated, "My mom is figuratively my best friend in the whole world. I figuratively don't even know what I'd do without her."
After the intense interview, Brittani, Sammi, Amanda, and Kylie figuratively slouched off in their heeled booties and oversized scarves. No word on where white girldom's biggest celebrities went next to inaugurate their new word: most likely to the nearest Starbucks, where, rumor has it, the new Chestnut Praline Latte might figuratively be about to get its own acronym!!

That's right folks, just a few days after getting permanent root someone said "Hey, let's overclock this thing." Not only did they overclock the HTC G2, they took this 800MHz phone clear to the edge of good sense. So they finally ended up with a mind numbing 1.9GHz, over double the original specs on the device.
Who is responsible for such a thing? Our friends over at XDA Developers of course. If you want to give it a shot, follow this link. Below you will see an actual picture of my friend @droidhead_ryan's overclocked G2 with a Quadrant score. Don't worry, there has been no reports of melting phones or purses bursting into flames. If you are brave enough to try it out drop us a comment, we would love to hear how it went.

As I grow in my relationship with God, I gain some insight into His mode of operation. God is actually quite predictable if we get to know Him. He is not a formula but He is predictable. If He weren't predictable, He couldn't be trusted. A covenant God must be predictable. Well, that's not my point for this post. My point is; in my short walk with God, I have come to learn a principle about God that never fails. This principle is that His expectations for us, including our destinies are always well beyond our capabilities.
Everything God would expect of you in life is beyond your natural ability. Your natural ability can take you so far but never to your destiny. Consequently, the just shall live by faith. When the tasks set before you are always so intimidating, the way of faith becomes the way of life. You learn to live day to day trusting God to deliver to you what is set before you. This explains a lot of things. For one, it explains why a Christian cannot get to a point in life when he has no need to pray. It doesn't matter how far you have gone; you would need God to hit your next mark on the path to destiny.
Every person God tasked in the Bible felt unqualified. There is not one person who could by his power succeed in what God sent Him to do. If your path has never intimidated you, then you are not on the path of destiny. Taking from the most basic expectation God has for us which is holiness, it becomes apparent that we fail hopelessly at this if we attempt to do it with our strength. No amount of self will and determination can keep you righteous yet God demands righteousness hence the necessity for Jesus to bridge the gap between our inadequacies and His expectations.
This would change your life once you walk in the light of it. God has never sent anyone on an assignment that they are qualified to execute. It is just not His style. Your life is an assignment and we have thrashed this subject in the past. You were born for a purpose which God had predetermined and you ought to first discover that purpose and ultimately fulfill it. Destiny is the final destination of a purpose driven life. Jesus would say on the cross, "It is finished". What is finished? His assignment. No man, not you and not me can fulfill this purpose assigned by God without help from Him.
Even Jesus, God in the flesh had to face that moment of truth at the garden of Gethsemane. The flesh always limits. A bit too complex to articulate effectively in writing but I will try. When Adam sinned, God cursed the man by cursing the ground. As part of God's redemptive plan, He redeemed the man but not the ground. Therefore our flesh which is dust remains a liability though a necessary requirement to live in this realm. For this reason, every living man, even those who are spiritually regenerated struggle with weaknesses of the flesh and limitations of the flesh. Jesus at the threshold of destiny needed to pray earnestly because His flesh was weak. He confessed that the spirit was willing but His flesh was weak. If Jesus struggled with this, be rest assured that we will too. He had to complete his assignment by entering into a hell of suffering.
Therefore don't feel special because your dreams are supersized. Every God given dream is. You should however feel good about the fact that you are dreaming on the level God expects you to. One of the signs of an oppressed Christian is the inability to dream on the level of his destiny and of God's plans. A Christian who has achieved everything thus far without a feeling of insufficiency along the way is not walking the path of destiny. It is a requirement in the pursuit of destiny that one feels insufficient and incapable.
This is the point where faith is introduced. The reality compels us to engage the forces of the Spirit by faith for the fulfillment of destiny. That is why it is impossible to please God without faith. It is implicit in the concept of faith that one have a dream or a hope and needs God to see that hope materialize. A life that takes on what can only be achieved easily is a life void of faith and cannot please God. Faith is a constant part of the life of a just man who walks the path of destiny.
We must not lower the bar to where we are comfortable. To do that is to mortgage destiny and God is not pleased with that. This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Jesus never compromised the agenda of God for His life. We must aim so high that the thought scares us. In career, ministry, business, and in our faith, this must be our reality. In everything we do, our aim must be as high as can be. The idea that a goal must be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound) has limitations in applicability for Christians. Goals are set by us while dreams are given by God. The achievable and realistic metrics don't apply to God-given dreams.
In one comic, yet epic episode that turned out to be tragic for the children of Israel, they tried to enter Canaan without God's backing and were beaten down by their adversaries. Life batters Christians who fail to properly engage faith and all its trappings. Canaan was full of giants and was highly militarized with trained armies and advanced weapons. Canaan was a fortified place. The people were stronger and the land was massive. These were a bunch of recently liberated slaves. It is wild to think they could take possession of the land yet God expected them to do just that. From a purely physical perspective it was a virtual impossibility.
The litmus test is this: If it not indisputably evident to all that where you are today could only have been by the strong hand of God, there is more to be done. I mean it must be without doubt and inarguable. If it can be physically explained and the dots can be connected without the God factor then we have not arrived at the destination yet. We ought to keep moving.
There is much to be achieved. No, you will not stay in Egypt. Neither will you stay at Sinai. You will enter Canaan and not just enter, you shall possess it fully. Though the bar is set so high, you will achieve it with God's help. He commissioned you therefore He will give the support needed. It is not about you. Well, it is… but not fully. You need to cooperate with God for the fulfillment of destiny. Shalom.

I'm honestly tiered of carrying a separate travel sized concealer, bronze, blush and a highlight palette along with a compact powder in my bag; for when I need a touch up, to attend back to back events/meetings. I have often wondered as to why we do not have all these combined in small quantities that is compact and perfect to carry for women on the move. Well, my prayers were answered soon, by Makeup Revolution London's – Protection Palette in Light shade, with little of everything in one compact palette. I cannot resist anything that is packed cleverly to make my life easier or has a multi-utilitarian aspect to it.
So the palette is divided into 3 segments –
- Concealers on the left of the palette, In 3 shades of light, medium and dark
- Anti Shine Compact Powder
- Contouring Palette in 3 Shades on the right of the palette – Coco Shade Bronze, Rose Pink Blush and Pale Pink Highlight
The Concealers are creamy and are easy to blend, also offers a good coverage of acne scars. Since I have a combination skin the creamy concealer did not leave me greasy at all; I'm not sure if this might suit Oily skin though. The anti-shine compact powder sets the concealer well to gives me that matte finish, perfect to start off with the Contouring Palette. The bronze is pigmented enough to give you the right contour shade in just one swipe, the blush gives a lovely pink glow to your cheek, while the highlight is a little shiny and will leave you with a faint gleam. On a normal work day I'd just dab a little of the highlight that will give a faint shine.
Price – I asked my friend to pick this up, it costed me about £6 in London it's now available on a discount at £4 on the website, but Jabong quotes about INR 1,148 almost double.
Packaging – Clean, simple and classy
What I like about Makeup Revolution London's Protection Palette – Light:
- Compact and fits in your clutch, perfect for on the go touch ups
- There are 4 shades to choose from based on your skin tone i.e. Light, light/medium, medium/dark and dark. The one featured here is the Light shade.
- Comes with a full-size mirror too
- Concealer isn't cake-y but is creamy and easy to blend
- Powder, bronze, blush and highlight are fine and light too
- Perfect for dry, normal and combination skin. Avoid the powder if you have a dry skin.
- Expensive in India, almost double the price it is sold in UK
- The blush kind of broke me out 🙁
- Touch-up required 'coz the blush and bronze stayed only for 2 hours. I use this palette for when I have an important event to attend after work and my scheduled stay is not more than 2 hours. The staying power also depends on the weather conditions of the place you are at, perhaps the palette works more efficiently in UK or cooler countries, as it's not as sultry as India.
- It might not suit Oily skin.

The Ultimate Palette to Protect You; Conceal, Touch-up & Contour Kit on the Move indeed. Makeup Revolution London's Protection Palette is that one travel friendly palette for all those women on the move. But then, avoid it if you are allergic to mineral makeup or silicones.

Please allow 5 working days notice for us to deliver on your preferred delivery day.
Bouquets are available for same day delivery if ordered before 1pm.
Tracy was so helpful when we went to meet with her and was very amenable to our unusual requests! She helped us decide on what flowers would work well with the ones we wanted and was very open minded in the creation of our centre pieces.
Kim and Pete
St Mellion Flowers were nothing short of brilliant from our very first meeting right through to our wedding day when they delivered our beautiful flowers to us at our venue.
Claire and Neil Howard
Yes, we do. As well as our shop in Launceston and deliveries to businesses and organisations, we also sell direct to people who visit our warehouse.
We have two ways of costing our flowers – either wrapped (this is a trade term for a bunch) or by the stem. We are able to meet all budgetary requirements, so you know you can get flowers to make your day.
All flowers are stored in water in our state of climatic control warehouse, which is open to the public. We believe it is the only system of its kind in the UK and ensures that we have the best flowers all the time.
Wherever possible, we source the best flowers from growers in Cornwall and Devon. We also use the best growers worldwide, which means you get the best flowers all year round.
The first thing to do is to cut the bottom off the stems and place the flowers in fresh, cold water. It's important the flowers are not stored in direct sunlight or darkness. To help them last longer it's a good idea to take off any dead leaves.
As we use the best flower growers, it is possible to get most flowers all year round. However, it's always best to give one of our friendly team a call on 01752 845 545

I wanted to take my Girlfriend and her boys to Carlsbad Caverns since none of them had been. I had been there once before. Since her sister lived in El Paso we decided to visit here for a day and go to Carlsbad the next day. I had never been to El Paso before and was expecting a dirty run down city. Being so close to the Mexico border and Juarez, Mexico. What I found there was a city bigger than Albuquerque and very historic.
The trip down Interstate 25 from Albuquerque to El Paso has nothing interesting to see. But it only takes about 4 hours. In El Paso you can see Mexico from the freeway. The Rio Grand is the border between Mexico and the US, and the river isn't that wide at the border. Looking at the Mexican side of the border you see a lot of brightly painted houses and small streets. I can imagine what the US side looks like to the Mexicans with our tall buildings for shopping and industry. As if were mocking them with our prosperity.
We did not go into Juarez and the people we met there hadn't been either/ They mostly told me that there wasn't much there unless you want to go and party. On the next visit I don't plan to go either. However on the next trip I hope to stay longer and check out the more historic parts of down town El Paso. On our way out of town there was a border patrol stop. It was interesting that it was there as it was. I wonder if they have one on every exit out of town. They just asked us if we were all Americans and then sent us on our way. It was a mostly boring ride down highway 62/180. But there was some interesting parts like Salt Flat, TX the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. El Captain is visible along the drive. Along the drive I saw quite a few abandoned gas stations and hotels. I often see them along I-40 when I drive to Arizona. I suppose there was a time in the early 1900's that cars were less capable and it took longer to get from place to place so people needed to stay at hotels along the way.
The Caverns are just south of Carlsbad New Mexico. Prices are reasonable at the cave and they don't charge for parking. It's a long into the main part of the cave, half of which is just walking down. But don't worry there's is a elevator to take you back up. Bats live in the cave. At night there is a sitting area where people can watch the mass exodus. We did not stay to see that.
The drive back was the most horrible. I figure it takes 6 hours to get to Carlsbad going south of it via El Paso. There are no major high ways into Carlsbad and going north you have to take smaller state roads where the speed limit is 55-65 MPH. This makes a big difference on how long it takes and it must have taken us 9 hours to get back. Our route was north to Roswell the west to I-25. Since you pass through many towns along the way that slows you down even more, and just before we reached I-25 it seems like we had been driving for ever. Which we had. These sort of trips remind me that there was a time when people rode horse through this country with no road or stops along the way. There was some stuff to look at along the way and they were thinking I was lost. I kept assuring them I wasn't lost, it just was taking a long time.
Lincoln New Mexico was in between Roswell and i-25. I had no idea this place even existed. There is a It is certainly a historic town, nestled in the middle of Lincoln Nation Forest. This National Forest is the birthplace of Smokey the Bear. If we ever go to Carlsbad again, for my Family's sake I will drive south through El Paso

Avenue Quintana 465, Recoleta, Buenos Aires
MIO, a brand new 30–room boutique hotel in Recoleta, on the distinguished Quintana Avenue, exudes heart and soul like no other hotel in Buenos Aires.
© Mio Buenos Aires
MIO Buenos Aires breathes warmth and unpretentious, sensual luxury, taking you into its embrace in such a way that you may honestly find it hard to leave. If you are looking for hip glamour and celebrity sightings, check out Faena. Want opulence and grandeur? The Four Seasons Buenos Aires right down the road is for you. But if you are looking for a low–profile place where every time you walk through the front door you feel like you are coming home, then the new MIO Buenos Aires is the best.
Masterminded by cousins of the renowned Catena wine family, no detail in aesthetics nor service has been overlooked to provide you with an unforgettable sensory experience. From the time you walk through the impressive 18–foot–tall front door made of French oak from barrels still streaked by wine, you will realize that you are entering a place where every detail is unique. The hotel uses only materials of the highest quality, but combines them in such an eclectic and relaxed way that it feels effortlessly cool. In the lobby you may be greeted by the casual mix of sound ranging from the Beatles, the Cure, or Pink Floyd, to jazz, world music, or indie folk. The front desk staff understands how to exceed the high standards of even the most discerning client and provide such warm, personalized service that they will probably end up seeming more like old friends by the time you check out.
A stay at MIO Buenos Aires is pure tangible sensory pleasure. From the elevator upholstered in buttery leather, to the large fountain that is the backdrop of the lobby, to the scent of verbena that welcomes you in the hallways, to the ridiculously high thread count Italian bedding, to the terrace bonfire that is lit every night, each of your senses will feel completely awakened in MIO.
The rooms are situated so that there are only a couple on each floor, with an intelligent layout that makes you feel like you do not have any neighbors. Even the smallest room, the Deluxe, is almost 500 square feet, and the MIO suites run upwards of 1000 square feet. Many rooms come with a terrace, and each room is completely open and airy, so it tends to feel even bigger than what it is.
© Mio Buenos Aires
What you will notice is that even the standard room is nothing close to being standard with touches like a Nespresso maker, iPod docking station, huge closets, and massive towels and posh robes from Italy. Personal favorite amenities that really set this place apart include complimentary temperature-controlled Catena wine (champagne, white, and red to choose from!) and a hand–sculpted, one–of–a–kind bathtub from reclaimed calden tree trunks. The combination of the champagne dispenser, nightly chocolates, and rose petals for this tub are enough to make even the most jaded hotel guest want to come back time and time again to MIO. Rooms that do not have the calden bathtubs have private terrace whirlpool tubs overlooking Recoleta, so either way you are assured an unforgettable experience. The rooms are great for singles or couples, but for friends sharing a room, it may be tricky to fully enjoy the bathtub with privacy as they are not enclosed. The large shower stalls with a high-pressurized rain shower head would be the option in this case, complimented by French L'Occitane products.
A small detail, but one that really set MIO apart from other hotel rooms is the lighting setup. There are so many combinations of lights to play with, from those above the bed, in the living area, in the bathing area, that you can really experiment and set up the perfect ambiance for yourself. Whether you need full light to work, mood lighting for a relaxing bath, or direct light just above your bed to unwind reading a book or two from the well–stocked hotel library on the first floor, the lighting always feels just right.
The laid–back spa and Zen–inspired gym reflect the relaxed vibe of MIO Buenos Aires. This is not the place where you will find bulked-up guys doing heavy lifting. Instead, cardio machines are complimented by yoga mats and meditation pillows. Floors, walls and the ceiling are all covered in black stone from the Argentine province of San Luis, providing a low–light retreat from the bustling city. The spa is open from 6am to 10pm, but the staff is very accommodating about opening the area off hours. After a dip in the gorgeous stone pool, which has whirlpool jets from below, enjoy a steam bath or an indulgent shower with 8 jets, including both a rain and waterfall cascade.
Oriental natural treatments and massages (on ergonomic massage tables) are also available on site as long as you give 2 hours notice. Once again, the layout is spacious, with the treatment rooms (separated by curtains), pool, and gym all sharing the same open space. Guests that want more privacy while in the pool, or that want a soundproofed massage space may not appreciate the open air feel, although with so few rooms in the hotel privacy is seldom an issue.

Another place where MIO really goes above and beyond is the food. The breakfast in the MIO lounge, included in the rate, is more like a culinary feast. From fresh juices to espresso, to homemade croissants and traditional pastries, veggie–filled omelettes, a great selection of meats and cheeses, fruit, and even a yogurt homemade on-site with real vanilla beans, it would be hard to leave breakfast less than completely satisfied. For lunch and dinner the hotel is proud to have partnered with Tô, which was named the Best Restaurant to Open in Buenos Aires in 2009, to offer an interesting fusion of French and Japanese cuisine, with modern touches like using Ipads for the menu.
From the quirky textural details that make the place truly comfortable and one–of–a–kind, to some of the friendliest service in the city, there is something about MIO Buenos Aires that gets under your skin and leaves you wanting to stay forever. They say that they called the hotel MIO (Spanish for "mine"), because the intention was to create a place that feels like home, as though it somehow belongs to you. For luxury without pompousness and a sense of richness without gaudy flamboyance, a stay at the intimate MIO could not come more highly recommended.

In the age of smartphones and tablets, we find ourselves looking down more and more often. When we look down, this creates immense pressure on our necks. This often leads to text neck: the pain associated with looking down at these screens too frequently and for too long. While we also look down while reading, technological advances have made it so the time we spend slouching, looking down, and placing pressure on our necks has dramatically increased. This is especially concerning when we think about all the time young children and teenagers spend on their iPads or phones; in young, growing bodies, text neck could result in permanent damage to the cervical spine and lifelong pain.
Symptoms of text neck include:
- neck pain
- upper back pain
- upper back muscle spasms
- shoulder pain and tightness
- neurological symptoms if a cervical nerve becomes pinched
- early onset of arthritis in the neck
How can I prevent text neck?
- Try to hold your cellphone or tablet at eye level as often as possible to alleviate pressure on the neck.
- Take frequent breaks from looking at your cellphone, laptop, or tablet throughout the day by doing some light massage on your neck or taking an exercise break.
- Set up computer screens so that they are at eye level.
- Stretching and exercising regularly.
Text neck can also be significantly alleviated and prevented using massage therapy. Massage therapy styles such as acupressure massage, deep tissue massage and shiatsu massage can all be applied into preventing and lessening the symptoms of text neck. Focusing on acupressure points below the base of the skull can relieve text neck symptoms of arthritis, stiff neck, and neck pain. Acupuncture can also be used in curing text neck and as a preventative measure.
