Poor quality and fit
By Sharon
from Kitchener, ON
For a bra that is supposed to help get rid of bulges, it is a huge disappointment. It did not fit properly, held nothing in or up. Also found the quality to be substandard and the garment itself was UGLY.Returned it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Unattractive and Ineffective

Also VERY disappointed
By Bird Mom
from Toronto
For me, the straps stretched so much that I was "droopy" and bounced all over the place - I might as well have gone bra-less! I also had high hopes. The TSC sale-people are very persuasive, I'll give you that...

very disappointed,
By YVONNE
from CHILLIWACK
wanted a comfortable bra, without constantly hoisting up the straps.Poor fit, feels heavy, certainly not flattering.The material reminds me of heavy coarse stockings.Ceratainly not worth the money. Wish I had read the reviews before buying.

what a disappointment
By MARIA
from MONTREAL
It was OK at the beginning, but at the first sign of sweat the band stopped holding all together. Complete disappointment.
Great for Sensitive Skin; otherwise...
By SANDRA
from GEORGETOWN
I bought a few of these bras several years ago when I was undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer. My neck, shoulder & breast area became very tender, and I could not wear a regular bra. With its smooth, soft texture, I was able to tolerate this bra. I had to go up several sizes (cup & band) to get a bra that fit properly, and found that after wearing a bra a few days in a row, the cups seemed to stretch and the support decreased. After laundering, they returned to their original size. I don't wear these bras anymore, preferring my underwire bra now, but they did serve their purpose for very sensitive skin.

Soooo disappointed!
By BARBARA
from Canada,ON,LONDON
I really thought it was me that could not get the right size to fit. I have had a breast reduction & did not think my B-C would be too big. I could not get the cup to fit; the band rode up in the back & rolled in the front. Bending over resulted in "spillage". Do not believe everything you hear. Overpriced & not any good.

Not For Long Term Wear - Disappointing!!
By SHIRLEY
from Canada,AB,EDMONTON
I purchased this item a while back and after a few wearings I found this bra to be very "uncomfortable". I also found that the band rolls up at the front and I constantly had to adjust it by pulling it down. It has since gone into my Goodwill Bag.I agree with the other review, there is certainly alot better fitting bras for alot less $$$'s.
not recommended for the average size wom
By CHRISTINE
from Canada,ON,KANATA
I purchased 2 of these bras and the cup and band are too small. there is absolutely no support. I still wear them although would never leave the house wearing one. definitely not as described and way too overpriced.

Orphaned Land is a band totally consumed by their message. Normally in metal, that message has a good chance of being insipid or sophomoric. We've seen messages that range from "CHAOS!" to "Drink until you can't feel feelings anymore" and let's not forget the tried and true "all organized societal institutions are crap." As fans, it falls on us to either embrace or, more commonly, overlook any petulance and merely attempt to absorb and judge the music.
By contrast, Orphaned Land has been preaching the same message for nigh on twenty years. Kobi Farhi and his Israeli metal band are dedicated to the noble concept that religious differences should never lead to violence, that we as a society must band together to combat cultural ignorance and foremost that we are all one people. This is clearly stated in the very title of the band's new album, "All Is One." In the accompanying press release, Farhi relates stories about how playing a gig in Turkey (according to him, the only Arab nation Orphaned Land is allowed to perform in,) sees the band play in front of a crowd sampled from all the Middle Eastern countries and all creeds. The band's mission may seem overly simplified on its face, but that does nothing to reduce the importance of their message.
Where Orphaned Land's previous efforts laced Middle Eastern musical influences over a core of solid, mildly progressive metal, "All Is One" plays out much more like a stage performance, leaning heavily on their heritage and complete with striking mental imagery. The album's emotional appeal is its centerpiece, focusing on cathartic moments like the passion of "Brother." Where the band's previous effort, the given-away-for-free-in-the-Middle-East "The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR" saw a mash of traditional music and screamed metal vocals, "All Is One" is a stripped-down, purified concept that sheds some teeth in exchange for direction and voice.
The album begins with the title track, which showcases the majority of the album's punch much in the same way that the sublime "Sapari" headed up the last album. "All Is One" is an impossibly well-balanced track, espousing both the virtue of the band's mission and their chops as a metal band from half a world away. The track's edges are buttressed against thick orchestration and full choral choruses, which make it not only the album's best track, but its most beautiful.
This is immediately backed up by "Simple Man," which continues in the trend of traditional music intertwined with the underpinnings of modern heavy metal. The mix of Middle Eastern strings with the common concepts of power metal makes Orphaned Land a continued experiment in a sound totally different from what metal fans are accustomed to hearing.
For this new record, Farhi drops his screamed vocals almost entirely, which is to the album's benefit. His screaming voice, as so evidenced on "…ORWarriOR" isn't fully developed and can distract from the overall presentation. Going for his straight-up singing voice not only plays more to Farhi's strengths, but to the band's, as his voice couches much more easily in the music beneath.
Listening to "Let the Truce Be Known" and "Through Fire and Water" makes it easy to envision a concept unfolding in front of you. The pieces, as we discussed above, seem almost more suited to a stage or movie, which is a credit to their drama and arrangement, but in a backwards away makes them feel almost incomplete.
The album's back half becomes a fairly straightforward exercise in repeating the ideas and maneuvers we've already talked about, although several songs spin in a more traditional European power metal bend. It's not a bad thing as the entire album is satisfying, but it does mean a fair amount of the same thing. The different lyrical aspects make the songs easy to tell apart, but from a strictly musical standpoint, it's like playing a nine hole golf course twice to say you played eighteen.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I would support Orphaned Land wholeheartedly because of their message, even if their music wasn't very good. The fact that "All Is One" has some truly unique and enchanting moments makes it all the more reason to talk about this band. This album does some things musically that you won't hear anywhere else all year, so pick it up if you're looking for a new experience. Orphaned Land deserves the attention.

Tell me about the Fall 12 Helmut Lang / HELMUT essentials you selected.
I choose the Voltage Rib Tee and Kinetic Jersey Skirt, because you always need great basics that fit and go with everything. The Drift Print Dress is definitely a more versatile piece than you might think. Just throw on some fabulous sunnies, your favorite accessories and you have the perfect look for a Fall getaway!
Best meal you've ever had was at _____
El Chico Perro in Bilbao. I love that restaurant!
What's currently trending in your wardrobe?
Comfortable jersey pieces, boxy jackets and baggy pants.
Who / What are your main sources of style inspiration?
My grandma has always had a strong impact on me. She's the kind of lady that walks around the house wearing leopard printed blouses, caftans and golden heels. Other than that, I'm inspired by strong women who have the ability to transform their visions into reality and possess that sort of confidence that shines through and creates an aura around them.
What music festival / concert are you most looking forward to?
I'm really looking forward to Way out West and seeing Florence and the Machine, Hot Chip and Bon Iver.
Reading any books you can't put down?
Joan Didions "Blue Nights" has put a spell on me.
Tell us about your "ah-ha" moment that made you start blogging.
I actually started out blogging with a close friend of mine. As we looked at other blogs and had a big interest in fashion and style we felt that we could add something new to the fashion blog community, something, I don't know, a bit more personal in terms of style. People in Sweden tend to want to look the same and are a bit afraid of standing out. I felt it was important to bring the catwalk trends into real life in a sort of unpredictable way. I really wanted to spice things up a bit and make people think about how to wear pieces in new ways but still keep it wearable. Back then it was just for fun, I'd never imagined that the blog would grow this big and get this kind of international interest that it has today.
What's your current social media addiction?
Definitely Instagram! You can follow me @columbinesmille
Favorite coffee table book you own is _____
Mario Testino's "Let Me In," "Henri Matisse" and "Gypset Style" by Assouline books. Also, the Yves Saint Laurent book.

My watch, multiple bracelets and necklaces from Stéphanie Radenac and Maria Nildotter. I can't live without accessories!

What Are We Singing: For the First Time Again
- Thursday, October 20, 2011
I call this past summer the "summer of my discontent." I woke one morning in mid-May with a backache. I thought I had slept wrong. Within a week, I knew that wasn't the case. I went to the doctor; he gave me some meds. I'll admit, they didn't take away the pain, but they pretty much made me not care that it was there. After a week or two of that, I went returned to the doctor's office. New meds were given. These took away the pain, but they made me feel as though I had the flu. They also made a cranky. After three days I stopped taking them and the pain returned, this time with a vengeance.
One morning I attempted to move some wet clothes from the washer to the dryer. Not an easy thing to do when your lower back feels like its been sawed in two. My husband - who could see me from his place in the kitchen - said something to me. I snapped a reply.
He took a sip of his coffee, smiled (God love him!) and said, "Can I ask you a question? Were you born mean or did you just become that way?"
And with that, I cried.
But Not Why You Think
You think I cried because I was in pain, right? No. I cried because I knew he was right. Oh, sure, my back was hurting beyond anything I'd ever experienced. The fact that I even attempted to move wet clothes was an act of stupidity (I am nothing if not tenacious.) only adding to the agony. No, I cried because my husband was right. Somewhere along life's broken and bitter path, my typically sweet nature - in all circumstances - had changed. Somewhere along the path of walking with God, I'd stopped being "like him" and had slipped into the clothes of my old self.
Paul wrote: For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been freed from sin (Romans 6: 6, 7). He also penned these poignant words: You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self (Ephesians 4:22).
The sad thing is, I can pinpoint just where my attitude changed. I can draw a timeline of my life and circle the "year of my discontent." Three-hundred and sixty-five days of realizing just how nasty people can be and how brutal life gets.
Do You Remember?
Do you remember the first time you heard the Gospel of Jesus and it meant something? I grew up in the church; hearing the Good News of Christ on a weekly basis while sitting in a folding Sunday school chair or while positioned between my parents on the hard wooden pew of the sanctuary, was the norm. But it wasn't until my 12th year of life that something in the message jumped out and wrapped itself around my heart like an old, soft blanket. I determined to live my life for Jesus. I wasn't always perfect - not by a long shot - but I managed to find a lot of joy in life while I worked hard at being a Christian.
As a young adult, I went through a pretty rotten first marriage and a time of anger toward God when it ended. But I was still zany and happy and full of life. Deep down I knew that God hadn't failed me, but that I had failed him. That knowledge made the difference.
Shortly thereafter, God and I had a powwow … and WOW! What a POW! Some of the minor and major insanities of my life were brought under the authority of Jesus. God and I walked a new path … and life was great!

Assad's UK-Born Wife Stands By Her Man in E-mail, Causing Scandal
An email sent from the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, in which she has offered full support to her husband, has reportedly sparked outrage from the country's opposition activists and experts.
Asma Assad, 36, is believed to have said in a letter to The Times of London, that she was encouraging dialogue over the crisis gripping Syria, and that she was comforting the bereaved.
"The First Lady's very busy agenda is still focused on supporting the various charities she has long been involved with and rural development as well as supporting the President as needed," the email sent to the paper said.
According to Fox News, opposition activists decried her first message to international media in 11 months since the uprising began.
"Asma cannot continue her charitable work as before and all the evidence shows that she is not. ... It would be interesting to know if she has ever been able to comfort those who have lost love ones to her husband's security forces," Chris Doyle, the director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding said.
"Can you picture her comforting a widow whose husband has been shot or beaten to death by Bashar's thugs?" he added.
The Times said Asma sent the email after it had asked for her thoughts on the violence carried out by Assad's forces.
She reportedly said in the email that her husband "is the President of Syria, not a faction of Syrians, and the First Lady supports him in that role."
According to the paper, a group of Syria experts suspects Asma is privately appalled by the carnage, but compelled to remain silent.

(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 10 people died in eight separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Aug. 13 through Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007.
All 10 of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and seven of the victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one of the victims is unknown at this time. Two of the fatalities were the result of crashes that involved the suspected use of alcohol.
One triple-fatality crash was reported in Lincoln County. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Bell, Greenup, Hardin, Hart, Knox, Muhlenberg and Shelby counties.
Through Aug. 19, preliminary statistics* indicate that 536 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is 29 fewer than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 432 motor vehicle fatalities, 248 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 65 motorcycle fatalities, 39 were not wearing helmets. Of the 19 ATV fatalities, 15 were not wearing helmets. Nineteen pedestrians and one bicyclist have been killed. A total of 124 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.

Glassware With a Surreal Bent Captured By Acclaimed Photographer Matthew Donaldson
The concept of "modern" wine was born in 1976 after the now infamous "Judgment of Paris," when several Californian varietals triumphed in a blind taste test against much-lauded French vintages (later immortalized in Randall Miller's 2008 film Bottle Shock). From that watershed moment, minds and palettes across the globe were opened to vintages from the New World, as evidenced in the exhibition How Wine Became Modern: Design + Wine 1976 to Now, currently at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. Inspired by the show, photographer and filmmaker Matthew Donaldson teamed up with interior stylist Leila Latchin to capture unexpected vessels created for oenophiles in intriguing domestic scenarios: a Philippe Starck Baccarat goblet, seemingly hewn from a large piece of crystal, sits atop a radiator; the Riedel "Eve" decanter––curled like a serpent ready to strike––nestles in a windowsill, filled with Savennières; a three-foot-high wine glass stretches luxuriantly across a couch, and Bordeaux spills from a horizontal-stemmed receptacle, both dreamed up by designer Jeremy Brown, taken from his offbeat This is (Not) series. "I wanted to shoot these extraordinary objects in a 'normal' environment," Donaldson says. "Drinking wine is something that we've done for hundreds of years of course, but we're doing it with a twist."

FOXBOROUGH -- Affable tight end Rob Gronkowski can at times seem invincible, lugging around defensive backs as easily as he catches touchdown passes.
On Sunday though, that aura of invincibility was tainted after he left the field with less than four minutes left in the Patriots' 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Gronkowski broke his arm, NFL sources confirmed to the Globe's Shalise Manza Young. The sources were unsure of his timetable for recovery.

HIGHLAND | Nick Castillo is a firm believer that to be a successful swim coach, you have to love the sport, love coaching, love kids and love to help others -- plain and simple.
The level of passion, energy and attention that the 27-year-old head coach of the Highland Hurricanes Swim Club brings to the pool deck is commendable, and the swimmers he coaches are returning the favor with more refined strokes, faster times, and a level of success unlike anything the team has seen in recent years.
His fellow coaches apparently agree. Last weekend, they gave him the honor of Northwest Indiana Swim Conference (NWISC) Coach of the Year. Coaches from the swim clubs that make up the NWISC, comprised of teams from Highland, Crown Point, Duneland, Union Township, Portage, Merrillville, LaPorte, Michigan City, Hobart and Lansing, voted for their conference's leader as the 2012-13 season wraps up. The Hurricanes placed fifth overall at the conference meet on Feb. 15-17.
Castillo took the helm of the Highland Hurricanes last spring. He has also served as assistant coach of the Highland High School Swim Team, alongside Ryan Harrington, for the past four years.
A former Hurricane himself and Highland High School alumnus, Castillo has been swimming since the age of four and competed at the state level every year through high school where he consistently finished among the top 16 swimmers in the state before going onto swim for Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis (IUPUI).
"I've known Nick for many years as a swimmer for Highland," said Jim Voss of the Duneland Swim Club. "It is a pleasure to watch swimmers give back to this great sport . . . as a coach, mentor, and a teacher."
Castillo's coaching philosophy centers on hard work. He teaches swimmers that success doesn't come easy.
"If you don't push yourself, you won't get anything out of this sport," he says.
Now concluding one of the best seasons in recent years, the Hurricanes are sending at least nine swimmers to the state championships next month and have seen 14 records broken this season alone.
A love of swimming runs in deep in the Castillo family.
When Castillo's parents signed him up to swim with the Hurricanes as a pre-schooler, they likely never imagined he'd one day be the team's head coach.
Today, he continues to draw from them for inspiration. The eight siblings in the Castillo family faced the tragedy of their parents' deaths, first in 2007 and again in 2009.
"Coaching has been my therapy to help me deal with their deaths," Castillo said. "Seeing my swimmers succeed helps ease the pain. My parents were die hard swim fans."
Castillo is looking to a bright future for his young Hurricanes as well as Highland High School.
"I have a 10 and under group of swimmers that will be making some noise as they get older and get ready for high school," he says. "Highland Swimming is coming back, so people should take notice."
About HHSC: Recognized as a Level II USA Swim Club, The Highland Hurricanes is an age-group competitive swim club for ages 5-18 in Highland and surrounding communities.

The Canadian Corps, a 100,000 strong fighting formation, was ordered to the Passchendaele front, east of Ypres, in mid-October 1917.
Horrible Conditions
Launched on 31 July 1917, the British offensive in Flanders had aimed to drive the Germans away from the essential Channel Ports and to eliminate U-Boat bases on the coast. But unceasing rain and shellfire reduced the battlefield to a vast bog of bodies, water-filled shell craters, and mud in which the attack ground to a halt. After months of fighting, Passchendaele ridge was still stubbornly held by German troops. Sir Douglas Haig, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, ordered the Canadians to deliver victory.
Deliberate Preparation and Attack
Sir Arthur Currie, commander of the Canadian Corps, objected to the battle, fearing it could not be won without a terrible expenditure in lives, but Haig was desperate for a symbolic victory and insisted on the effort, believing that even a limited victory would help to salvage the campaign. Having no choice but to attack, Currie prepared carefully for the fight, understanding that deliberate preparation, especially for his artillery and engineers, was the key to advancing over this shattered landscape.
The Canadians arrived in Flanders in mid-October to relieve Australian and New Zealand troops and were shocked by the terrible battlefield conditions. Currie ordered the construction of new roads, the building or improvement of gun pits, and the repair and extension of tramlines (light railways). Horses and mules transported hundreds of thousands of shells to the front to prepare for the artillery barrage that would prepare for the infantry's attack. The Germans atop Passchendaele ridge fired continuously on these efforts, killing or wounding hundreds.
His preparations ready, Currie launched a deliberate or 'set-piece' attack on October 26, the first of four phases in a battle he estimated might cost 16,000 Canadians killed or wounded. By mid-November, having captured the ridge, his estimate proved eerily accurate, with 15,654 Canadian fallen.
The Legacy of Passchendaele
The British lost an estimated 275,000 casualties at Passchendaele to the German's 220,000, making it one of the war's most costly battles of attrition. British. The more populous Allies could better afford the losses, especially with the recent entry of the United States on their side, but the battle had delivered a blow to the collective morale of the British Expeditionary Force. Passchendaele, often remembered as the low point of the British war effort, remains synonymous with the terrible and costly fighting on the Western Front.

Full report
English | Russian
Press release English | Russian
When we last published the Best Russian Brands Rankings in November 2008, the world economic crisis had just hit Russia. Nevertheless, the overall brand value of companies had risen by 6.4% compared to 2007, which mirrored the ongoing investment of all industries in "branding" as a company asset.
Today – two years later and taking into account the full impact of the crisis on the Russian economy as well as the entire world – we see that the total value of the 40 Best Russian Brands has decreased by almost 8% compared to 2008. Delving a bit deeper into the details, we have observed more or less two different behaviors during the past two years: one group of companies slowed down their brand communications activities (or even stopped them all together), whereas the other group took advantage of lower media costs and competitor silence to invest in rebranding and/or greater communications intensity – and thus significantly increased the value of their brands.
This resulted in a distinct divide between a number of industries: we see clear winners but also equally clear losers in financial services, telecommunications, beverages, dairy and retail. Looking at our recent rankings on a global scale (BestGlobalBrands.com), we see that this is also pretty much what happened around the world as well.
Despite these very difficult past two years, it remains an indisputable fact that the role and importance of brands in consumers' lives is a constant. Brands – in their ability to create choice, build trust and loyalty and drive a premium price – are as important today as ever before. And as our short-term outlook on Russia's situation within other BRIC countries already shows, Russian brands are clearly on the right track and will eventually enter the global arena – as long as the rules for professional brand building and management are followed. Until this happens, we will continue to watch the market closely and to provide our rankings in order to help raise awareness about the importance of branding.

Even if you don't get an invitation to Kelly Clarkson 's wedding in October, by now, you should have a pretty good idea of what it'll be like.
First, Kelly posed with a veil and a bouquet, and tied her fiance Brandon Blackstock 's wrist to hers, for the cover of her single "Tie It Up." Then she shared an engagement photo of herself barefoot, wearing a puffy white dress. She announced who her maid of honor will be via Twitter, staged a wedding in a barn for her "Tie It Up" video, and caught the bouquet at the end. Now, the singer has revealed another engagement photo online, and this one is super-romantic.
In the photo , Kelly's wearing a beautiful wedding gown with a top that's made of intricate lace and beadwork. Her air is up, her arms are folded and she's looking off to the side. She's standing next to an iron gate, in the doorway of what looks like a garden, and next to her is a brick wall covered with ivy. Brandon is behind her, with his hands on her shoulders, and the two are nuzzling each other. Awww.
The wedding will take place in Nashville after Kelly's tour with Maroon 5 wraps up, and she swears that her buddy Blake Shelton will perform the ceremony. Stay tuned.

Mounties Thwart Plot To Bomb Canada Day Celebration In Victoria
By Tom Banse
Police in British Columbia Tuesday announced that they foiled a terrorist plot to bomb the Canada Day celebration in Victoria yesterday Monday. Photos released by the RCMP show three unexploded pressure cooker bombs filled with rusty nails, nuts and bolts.
The devices resemble those used in the Boston Marathon bombing earlier this year, but Canadian police say the two attacks are not connected. Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout says officers arrested a man and a woman believed responsible for the plot. He described them as Canadian-born citizens inspired by "al-Qaida ideology."
Wayne Rideout: "This self-radicalized behavior was intended to create maximum impact and harm to Canadian citizens at the B.C. Legislature on a national holiday. They took steps to educate themselves and to produce devices designed to cause injury and death."
Rideout told a news conference broadcast by the CBC that the alleged plotters have been under surveillance since February.

He assured Canadians that the bombs planted in Victoria were inert, but declined to explain how undercover detectives were able to arrange that.
The thousands of people who gathered around Victoria's Inner Harbor Monday to celebrate their national holiday were unaware of the unfolding police bust.

Mike Sanders left his north Phoenix home in his car, stopped a couple blocks away and then walked back to the house to ambush his estranged wife, teenage daughter and brother-in-law, killing them all before he ran and shot himself to death, police said.
The bodies of Carol Sanders, 51, their 14-year-old daughter, Audrey, and Carol Sanders' 49-year-old brother, Thomas Fitzpatrick, were found Tuesday afternoon, said Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump. Mike Sanders' body was later found a short distance away along a bridle path behind the home.
Carol Sanders had gone to the family's home to gather some personal belongings to set off the horrific chain of events.
Crump said Mike Sanders, 53, is believed to have seen Fitzpatrick in a car in the driveway, shot him and then shot him again after he fell out of the car, Crump said.
Mike Sanders then spotted his wife and daughter in the garage, walked to the garage and closed the door. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and then saw Mike Sanders run from the garage, Crump said.
Mike Sanders dragged his wife's body into the backyard and set it on fire before killing himself, police said. Her body was so badly burned, police could not determine whether she was shot, though they believe she was, Crump said.
"We found his vehicle at a location a few blocks from here," Crump said. "He left identification in that vehicle, which indicates to us he was coming up here and knew he may not return."
According to court paperwork filed using that address, Carol Sanders filed for divorce and an order of protection less than a month ago.
Neighbors in the area of 51st Street and Thunderbird Road said they heard gunshots ring out around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Crump called the scene "horrifying."
A neighbor, Jeanette Chaira, said Mike Sanders was always polite.
"When I've talked to him he's been very nice and I know he's very attentive to his daughter. He'd come and meet her at the bus and they'd give each other a hug," Chaira said.
Tactical units remained on scene for hours and officers, believing the suspect was inside, deployed gas into the home.

Wow, was it hot. In the heat of summer, the Garrett Turbos NHRA Sport Compact Nationals were held at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With temperatures reaching upwards of 110 degrees it was a sweltering event. Lucky for us, the weather wasn't the only thing that was hot. The racers heated things up with several track and world records being broken. Mother Nature decided the debilitating heat wasn't enough, so she moved two thunderstorms through the area over the course of the weekend, threatening to shut down the races.
We wandered through the pit area, with water in hand to stay hydrated, talking with racers and their crews as they prepared to make their first qualifying runs on Friday. Just when things were about to get going an ominous dark cloud appeared in the west. A storm was coming our way, and fast. The winds picked up and everyone was instructed to take down their banners and tents.
Many experienced teams put their vehicles back in the trailers as rumors spread that hail was on the way. I contemplated if I could fit my ride under the grandstands if indeed hail appeared.
The good thing about desert storms is that they disappear just as quick as they appear. While we waited for the storm to come we checked out the drifting that was underway on an adjacent parking lot. Needless to say drifters don't mind rain and wet pavement.
A lot of newbies tried their luck at the drift course, which provided an excellent training ground. The only real sponsored car at the event were the Toyo Tires drift cars. Among the rest of the participants the most notable were a pair of primered hachi roku coupes, one black and the other white. Our favorite drifter was Verena Mei, piloting the white Rotara-stickered Nissan 240.
Luckily, the dangerously high winds died down and qualifying finally got under way, but it didn't end until 2 a.m. Long day, yes, but remember, we're in Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps. While certain racers hit the strip clubs (names withheld to protect the innocent), we retreated to our hotel rooms and collapsed out of exhaustion.
Saturday brought more heat and another storm that passed through. The crowd was out in full force. They were entertained before the races began by the many side events taking place over the weekend. There was a car show and a dyno for cars to test their power. A bike ramp was set up as well as a sound competition. Product vendors displayed their wares and had giveaways for the fans. And of course, there was the ubiquitous bikini contest.

Learn From One of 2012's Best Special Situations
Mike is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
During the closing weeks of 2011, Expedia's (NASDAQ: EXPE) much-anticipated spin-off of TripAdvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) became official. Expedia decided to spin off its travel-review and social media division after determining that its own future lay with its core online travel agency. During the second half of 2011, the deal was heralded as a potential value-creator and was watched closely by retail investors and financial advisors alike. In the 13 months since the deal's closing, both companies that it produced have outperformed the broader market.
About Expedia and TripAdvisor
Bellevue, Washington-based Expedia is an all-purpose online travel agency that provides booking services for flights, hotels, rental cars, cruises and other travel-related activities. With the notable exception of Southwest Airlines, it works with virtually every major travel company. This slight is not unique to Expedia: Budget-conscious Southwest has long refused to work with other third-party booking agencies. The Dallas-based airline offers special deals on flights through its proprietary website.
Expedia's success is partially the result of its tremendously diverse brand portfolio: The company operates region-specific and international travel brands like Hotels.com, Hotwire.com, Classic Vacations, Expedia Cruise Ship Centers and others. The company employs about 10,000 people and markets its brands on an international basis.
Until the spin-off, Newton, Massachusetts-based TripAdvisor was Expedia's most profitable and best-known division. The company uses crowd-sourced and professional reviews to aggregate information about a wide range of travel-related companies, packages and experiences. It also offers international property and time-share listings. In the United States, it operates TripAdvisor.com. In the three dozen international markets for which it provides its services, it operates country-specific and language-specific websites that are geared towards its local client base. Recently, it has made a foray into the travel-booking space with its SniqueAway "flash deals" service.
How the Deal Happened
The terms of the spin-off were relatively straightforward. Shareholders of record on December 20, 2011 were given one share of TripAdvisor and one share of Expedia for every two Expedia shares that they owned. In essence, Expedia shareholders saw half of their Expedia shares converted into TripAdvisor shares. TripAdvisor began trading on December 21, 2011. The deal was deemed to be tax-free by U.S. regulators.
At the time of the spin-off, Expedia was trading near $57 per share. After losing half of its value as a natural product of the spin-off, the company traded in a range between $28 and $35 per share for several months. Meanwhile, TripAdvisor began trading at $29 per share.
Looking Back: Solid Returns
At first, the deal looked as if it would be a disaster. During its first day of trading, TripAdvisor fell by nearly 10 percent. However, the company was trading near $35 per share on a consistent basis by the end of the first quarter of 2012. After a better-than-expected earnings report, its share price spiked above $40 and hit a high of $46.36 in early July. TripAdvisor investors who sold their shares at this point would have realized a 60 percent return in just over six months.
After a lackluster earnings report, the company's shares came back down to Earth and spent most of the remainder of 2012 in a downward trend. In fact, TripAdvisor briefly traded below $30 per share in early November. Fortunately, a solid earnings report, a series of upbeat economic and travel-sector reports, and a general uptrend in the market combined to boost its share price by nearly 50 percent during the final two months of 2012. TripAdvisor now trades in a narrow range between $42 and $45 per share. Investors who sell their shares at these levels would realize a one-year return of between 45 and 55 percent. For reference, the S&P 500 index gained about 20 percent during the same time frame.
Expedia's performance has been impressive as well. From its early-2012 lows, the company's shares have more than doubled in value. Expedia currently trades in a narrow range between $62 and $64 per share. This represents a one-year return of approximately 125 percent. As with TripAdvisor, solid earnings reports and encouraging news about volumes and subscriptions have combined to boost Expedia.
Looking Ahead
In retrospect, Expedia's success may be even more surprising than TripAdvisor's. Whereas the smaller company has been posting breakneck subscriber and volume growth on its signature travel review site, its former owner has experienced a slowdown in traffic growth on its own flagship service.
However, secular economic trends appear to be working in Expedia's favor: As the economy improves, the market for business and leisure travel looks poised to improve as well. During the past 12 months, the company has posted several solid earnings reports. Although its trailing P/E ratio is a lofty 25, such valuations are the norm for Internet-based companies. Meanwhile, TripAdvisor has continued to meet or exceed expectations and maintains a P/E ratio commensurate with that performance. Like its former parent, it appears that this fast-growing company still has considerable room to run.
In the final estimation, the Expedia-TripAdvisor spin-off must be rated as a solid success. At this moment, investors who cash out their positions in these two stocks would realize average annualized gains in the neighborhood of 55 to 60 percent. Investors who purchased additional tranches of Expedia stock at its early-2012 lows would see even more impressive gains. However, both companies may continue their winning streaks for some time. As the economy continues to improve, the market for practical travel services and advice looks primed to follow.

Morocco has shifted from mass arrests to tight surveillance in its fight against Islamic militants and hopes a new campaign to reinforce the authority of state-appointed imams will cut off support for jihadism.
As militants reach a growing audience through DVDs and the Internet, the government has tried to seize back the initiative, revising laws governing mosques and adding new theological councils to tighten control of religious life in the regions. (Photo: Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech at sunset, 7 Jan 2005/Tom Heneghan)
Now it is preparing to send 1,500 supervisors into the north African country's towns and villages to make sure that imams are preaching the moderate local version of Islam and respect for King Mohammed in his role as leader of Morocco's Muslims.
"In this era of satellite TV, people no longer accept to see religious officials who are not trained," said Hakim el Ghissassi, a cabinet member at Morocco's Ministry for Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs. "If today we deny religious instruction to the young, where will they look for it? On extremist Internet sites with self-proclaimed radical Imams."
