248. Lamu Island, Kenya
Lamu Island, located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya is a truly special place. Of course Lamu offers everything you want in a tropical island: white sand beaches, sailing, snorkeling, fishing, seafood… But what makes this island really wonderful is everything else it has to offer. Lamu has a charming old town, a well preserved Swahili settlement, filled with simple architecture, courtyards and carved wood. It's easy to spend a romantic afternoon wandering the winding alleyways of the old town, visiting the market and heading to a beachside restaurant for some seafood. Or take a romantic sunset cruise along the coast. Truly wonderful. Some of the pics below are from Peponi Hotel, just one example of the lovely accommodation this island has to offer.

It can be hard to really improve your wardrobe from time to time. You almost certainly know that mixing and matching the things inside your closet. There may be some useful fashion advice inside the article below that will help you.
Try to spend nearly all your finances on basic pieces. Buy pieces which can be timeless and won't be out from style. Try on some a sophisticated black pencil skirt with tops and jackets yearly.
An elegant new purse can certainly make an outfit look fantastic, but ensure it goes with whatever other bag you happen to be carrying. Avoid carrying a couple of bag anytime.
Don't thrust your mascara wand. This just causes air within the tube. This ups the expansion of bacterial growth. Move your brush together with the container being a safer alternative.
Clean your closet periodically.A cramped and cluttered closet will simply hinder your fashion possibilities. If items tend not to fit well or are no longer fashionable to you personally, clear them out. Having several pieces inside your wardrobe is much more useful than having outdated clothing hanging onto old clothes.
It is actually a fallacy that white clothing after Labor Day. You can put on white at any color that flatters you.If you look fabulous in white, then feel free to wear it during any season. No person in nowadays is going to fault you regarding this.
This pattern causes you to look wider. Instead, choose vertical stripes, that can draw attention to height instead of girth.
When you realize, maximizing your overall wardrobe could be a dilemma. You possess probably found many combinations along with your clothing, but it can be difficult to do. Get more for the fashion dollar by using the excellent advice in this post each time you acquire a new challenge.

Excellent value for money. Good food and friendly staff. From our stay we do not understand some of the negative comments that the hotel has received....
Had a 4 night break here beginning of May with my husband and my mum. Was surprised to find the hotel reception when booking in inside the main public bar. Hotel in general very run down and although our double room was large the facilities were antiquated, and poor running hot water for bathing. We were on a DBB basis and the food was below standard and on most occasions it appeared processed, frozen and out of a tin. On our 4th night the evening menu was the same as when we arrived on our 1s......
First time at this hotel, our room was in the area called the Travelodge - very nice comfy double bed and single bed. Room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was first class - evening meal menu had plenty to choose from and service was very quick, only grumble I had was the hotel had a beautiful conservatory which was fitted out for dining, yet we were all squashed into the right hand side whilst the left hand side was empty ? When you arrive you are suppose to keep your table allocated for th......

Whose "Interesting" Shoes Are These?
Can you guess which celeb mom is wearing these interesting shoes?
The 35-year-old mother of 4-year-old Apple and 2-year-old Moses wore these in Cannes on the red carpet. The Oscar winner is at the festival to promote her movie, Two Lovers, co-starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Can you guess these other celeb shoes?
Forget the shoes, what is she wearing? I love her but that dress looks like the air plain lost her luggage and she worn a sheet from hotel. Crazy!
I think it looks cool…kind of Roman, like with the toga.
I can see how you'd get "sheet" from that. I like the dress but it could definitely be in a better color/fabric. I don't think the shoes are weird either.
Maybe she likes the Roman look.

Dave's hot rod as it was built....
I scratch built the frame. Everything is still in mock up at this stage. I designed the front end and built the suspension for the air ride, so it will put it on the ground!
Big Willwoods frt and rear brakes. Made to stop it at 160 mph.
The rear is 9" ford with Strange center section, funny car studs, pro stock four link, sway bars frt and rear. Burning rubber has a nice smell.
With the bags down she almost sits low enough. Like my son says "never too low"
Just showing the rear. The gas tank sits inside the frame, for lots of trunk room.
The motor is a Big Block Chevy, with a blower. It dynoed at 843 HP at only 5lbs of boost. It ain't even working hard yet!
Pic of the 2 1/2 " zoomies that I built. They are loud! I can take them apart and put in baffels if I want to (yeah right) .
Roll cage under construction
Even a nice glass body needs body work to dial in the lines
Frame ready for some molding
It gets tight when they are low and have air ride.
850 HP takes a big fuel pump and system, 5/8 fuel line.
A little color for the dash
Mocking up a scoop. I wanted something different.
I fabbed it out of aluminum.
Still striving for the "race car look".
After a lot of bodywork and block sanding, I base it in black, then added my new "Blackberry" pearl . It looks black until the sun hits it just right, then purple highlights.
Laying out the flames.....
Lots of masking
They don't look like much, until you unmask them
Pearl colors are down. One coat of clear, ready for the pinstripes.
Flames inside the hood too.
Getting close.......
After two different clearing jobs to bury the edges, and cut and polish....it starts to look like a paint job.
It is black leather
More coming.......

The ironic thing about Zero Dark Thirty, director Kathryn Bigelow's gripping, harrowing procedural, is that the movie was originally intended to be about the CIA's unsuccessful search for Osama bin Laden. Screenwriter Mark Boal ( The Hurt Locker) was already deep into his script in May 2011 when the elusive terrorist was shot and killed in a Pakistani compound by U.S. Navy SEALs.
Boal started rewriting immediately, but to say bin Laden's death gave the story a happy ending isn't entirely accurate. There's little patriotic, rah-rah cheer or backslapping in Zero Dark Thirty: This is a study of people saddled with supremely difficult jobs, doing them as well as they can. Instead of trying to provide a panoramic look at the decade-long search for bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty unfolds almost entirely through the eyes of Maya (Jessica Chastain), who we first meet as she witnesses the "extreme interrogation" of a suspect by a fellow agent (Jason Clark). The questioning includes water boarding, sleep deprivation, bondage and other forms of abuse.
Maya (based on a real-life CIA agent known only as Jen) looks on quietly with the same lack of emotion as the movie does. Zero Dark Thirty takes no moral stance on the subject of torture as a means of prying usable information from suspects. The film simply shows, and the lack of any bias or slant keeps the narrative from getting mired in questions of ethics and injustice. Bigelow leaves that to the viewer.
That same journalistic approach extends to recreations of bombings, an attack on a CIA compound and other terrorist activity during the decade the movie covers. Even more than The Hurt Locker, which sometimes relied on traditional film techniques to build suspense , Zero Dark Thirty resists manipulating the viewer or building movie-movie excitement. The raid on bin Laden's compound, which is shown in real time primarily through night-vision goggles (essentially turning you into one of the SEALs on the mission), builds on Bigelow's extensive use of the first-person point-of-view technique she used in Strange Days, but to radically different effect. The sequence is alarming, unnerving — a vivid, visceral illustration of the outsized courage of these soldiers.
The true hero of Zero Dark Thirty, however, is Maya, played by Chastain with an unwavering determination and perseverance that borders on the pathological. Her victory comes at a price. Maya has no apparent friends, boyfriends or relatives: Her co-workers are her only social outlet, and they're not exactly a fun bunch — they're just as single-minded as she is. Maya is as consumed with finding bin Laden as Jake Gyllenhaal was obsessed with finding a serial killer in Zodiac, only he was doing it as a hobby. This search is Maya's life, and by reenacting her quest in scrupulous detail, Zero Dark Thirty celebrates her accomplishment and drive — her refusal to give up where others surrendered to frustration.

Training requires patience. It takes a significant amount of time before you see positive results. A young puppy will take time to understand commands. Therefore, it needs to be treated with delicate care and affection. As soon as you have made the puppy your own, train it to be the dog you want it to be – a full-grown dog's good manners are the result of its master's hard work. Here are some helpful tips on how to train a Chihuahua puppy.
Structure a training activity plan before deciding to take home a young Chihuahua. This will secure the well-being of the puppy once it is in your possession. Choose a good quality breed to lessen your headaches when training it. Study its nature and temperament. Limit yourself to puppies bred by reliable pedigree breeders. Once the puppy is settled in your home, start the training. Don't give it a hard time during the initial stages of the training.
Start introducing basic commands that will be useful for the puppy's daily activities. For example, make your puppy respond to you by saying "Come" as you distance yourself. As you do this, make sure to clap your hands as a "Come here" gesture. Don't change the tone of your voice for this command, even if you use it in different places or circumstances. This will help the puppy to associate the action with the tone or command.
Stop the dog's bad habits right away. Chihuahuas like biting, nipping and barking for no reason. Saying "No" in a modulated voice will be more effective than giving longer commands. The louder than normal sound will warn the puppy that it has done something wrong. The sound will also catch the puppy's attention if it is busy, and it will try to stop to listen. Just be consistent and take your time to keep practicing this command. Do not spank or hurt your dog in any way. Cruelty will make it distant. Besides, an ill-treated puppy will grow up with a bad temperament.
Prepare for rigorous potty training. A puppy needs to be confined while being taught to go potty in the proper place. Put its potty outside the house, but make sure it is accessible from its crate. The puppy needs to visit its potty every 20 minutes. The Chihuahua has a small bladder and cannot avoid peeing for too long. Guide it to its potty every 20 minutes. Do the same after every meal, and after nap time. Dogs do not want to sleep in the area where they go potty. So it will eventually leave its crate and try to sniff its way to the designated toilet. Continue the program until it becomes the puppy's regular routine even without you.
Play with your puppy while it is learning for maximum affectivity. Going outside to enjoy running and playing is ideal for a Chihuahua. Add obedience commands to the puppy's training as its ability progresses. Complicated commands can be taught by playing some games. You may use a toy to entice the puppy while calling it to play outside. The toy could be its favorite ball or a rubber bone. Once the puppy sees these things, it will realize that it's playtime. Don't let any good behavior pass by without showing your dog your appreciation. Be generous in providing it with treats. Surprisingly, this provides good motivation to this special dog.
These tips on how to train a Chihuahua puppy may be ordinary, but if you are authoritative enough, your puppy should develop the discipline to obey these commands. You should try them before venturing into using extraordinary methods.

Burlington, MA Eats
Going to Lahey clinic on Sunday to visit a friend and need a rec for a great dinner spot open on Sunday night. Sushi or other asian would be great, but anything noteworthy and not a chain will satisfy. Thanx!
re: ScubaSteve
just up 128 a bit is Sushi Island in Wakefield, arguably one of the better sushi places north of Boston. there is also a Thai place right next door that i hear is Very Good but the name escapes me.
you'll probably get a better response if you move this thread to the Boston Board.
Cafe Escadrille is not sushi nor asian, but it has pretty great food. Also, while I hate to recommend restaurants that I haven't eaten at, there's a new fusion restaurant that opened about a year ago called The Ginger Pad-An Asian Bistro that I've been dying to try. I've read a few reviews and it sounds pretty good (website-www.gingerpad.com). The Ginger Pad is in the Wayside Commons along with quite a few other restaurants. Hope that's helpful.
re: crosel23
One vote against Escadrille. Overpriced, pretentious - neither unique and special nor any sort of delicious food find. The Catch, recommended below, is just so much better. New Jang Su Korean BBQ is also much more delicious. Ginger in Bedford center is a decent burb sushi/Japanese place (not up to real Japanese standards, but better than most burb sushi).
L'Andana has also gotten great reviews on the Boston Board. Here is just one thread:
Not to quibble, but I think that, depending on where the OP is driving after dinner, Wakefield is more than a bit up 128. If you're heading North anyway, it's a good suggestion. Otherwise, I'd look closer to Lahey.
Also, there is a Capitol Grille at Wayside Common Plaza.
Another option that is not very far from Lahey Clinic would to drive into Winchester (about 15 mins) and try Catch restaurant on Church St. in the center of town. It is great little place that serves very creative seafood dishes with very good service and a great wine list.
Bamboo in Bedford MA. on the Burlington line is about a 5-10 minute drive away from the Lahey Clinic. Bamboo has excellent Chinese & Japanese food including sushi. They also have a Sunday dinner buffet from 5pm-8pm.
Bamboo-Bedford Fine Asian
213 Burlington Rd, Bedford, MA 01730
I always liked the Lemon Tree for great thai and sushi but it's been a while. It's just up the road from Lahey Clinic in Burlington.
re: lexpatti
Excellent feedback-thanx to all! Now to find out who's open on Sunday....
re: insapore
based on their website, yes for Sunday
re: lexpatti
Gosh, lexpatti, I always like your reviews but have to disagree on this one. I've had some very poor meals here at lunch. There are too many options to settle for Lemon Tree.
re: three of us
It's been a while, could they have gone down hill. I used to work in Burlington. I'm hearing lots of other/new options now.
I live and work in Burlington.
Main street in Woburn is just a few minutes from Lahey (go down Winn St. to Woburn Center). Try Tremonte for great food (check to see if they are open on Sundays). Their Italian dishes are really good, as are their steaks, rack of lamb, etc. In Woburn there's also a couple of Brazilian places, as well as Ixtapa Mexican and La Stanza Diva for Italian.Tanner Tavern has very good food in a pleasing bar/pub setting.
If you must stay in the Lahey area, then your choices are definitely limited to Bamboo, Dandelion Green, Escadrille (yech), New Jang Su (great food, but that place needs a MAJOR interior overhaul. Everything is covered with grease, ceiling is gross, so is floor, torn bamboo shades)... everything else is a chain. Ginger Pad is very so-so. Take out atmosphere and nothing tastes authentically Asian.
The restaurant in Nordstrom is supposed to be very good and it has a nice atmosphere. I don't know that it qualifies as a true chain restaurant, since this restaurant is a new concept and the first of its kind in the Nordstrom chain.
There is also a new outdoor mall just down the road. It has Not Your Average Joe's and Capitol Grill. I think there may be another place in there too. I've tried Joe's and for a chain it was really pretty good.
In Woburn there is a vietnamese place called Pho that is good. Louie's has awesome pizza.
re: Joshua B
Went to Sushi Island and had a great meal-little stark when empty, but grateful that there was a place open on a Sunday night with city quality sushi. Thanx for all the suggestions! May go back just to veg in a pool and eat around town.

Brooklyn, NY 11211
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Brooklyn
The songs on The Year of Hibernation, Youth Lagoon's debut, tend to open with a mawkish timidity: a clutch of nervous chords, pianos echoing in a cavernous space, Trevor Jenkins' faux falsetto stumbling in pigeon-toed semi-circles. Doubt and hesitation then give way, gradually and gracefully, to plangent laptop mope-pop so world-beating it could be repurposed to score a sport biopic. What's shocking is that somehow the ascendant arcs that the Boise native createsarcs that touch on gospel soul, synth-pop, the avant-garde, and music-box chimesdont sound inevitably rote but invincibly resilient.

The Tampa Bay Times reported today that Hulk Hogan has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the Laser Spine Institute of Tampa saying the clinic performed unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career.
The lawsuit was filed this morning. Hogan is also claiming that the clinic used Hogan as an endorser without any payment or permission.
Hogan's attorneys, Wil Florin and Eric Czelusta, claimed the negligent contact by the institute resulted in a provable loss of $50 million in come that he would have made in the latter stages of his wrestling career.
Hogan's attorneys argued that he had seen a number of prominent surgeions who recommended traditional spinal surgery for Hogan, but he was told that surgery would end his career. He claimed instead, he had multiple unnecessary endoscopic sugeries that further destabilized his already injured back.
Story is at http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/civil/wrestler-hulk-hogan-sues-laser-spine-institute-claiming-it-performed/1270466
Hogan received bad news when his lawsuit against Gawker.com, after Gawker had moved it from state court back to federal court, is back under the auspices of Judge James D. Whittemore. Hogan has tried to move the case to state court specifically to get away from Whittemore presiding, since Whittemore had ruled against Hogan on several motions and his writing on the case indicated he didn't think Hogan's case was strong.

Still, Metro Transit calls debut "very positive."
Ridership on the fledgling Northstar commuter train is running slightly behind Metro Transit's weekly goals, but officials nonetheless called it "a very positive" debut.
During the train's first 15 days of operation last month, it averaged 2,207 passengers a day, compared with a 2010 daily average goal of about 2,460.
"While it is too early to make sweeping statements, these early ridership results indicate to us a very positive response to the state's newest transportation option," Metro Transit General Manager Brian Lamb said in a prepared statement.
Lamb also said that regular ridership patterns will not emerge until next year and that the November results included a long holiday weekend when many commuters stayed home.
During its first 15 days of operation, the train carried 33,112 passengers.
The train operates between Big Lake and downtown Minneapolis.
Metro Transit, which suffered its first engine breakdown Sunday, also announced that it has leased an engine from the Utah Transit Authority. The engine, the sixth in the Northstar fleet, is en route to the line's Big Lake maintenance base.

LONDON (Sept. 20) -- http://liliput.xe.cx/ British forces today handed over responsibility for security in one http://okipoli.serveirc.com/ of http://rebauller.homepc.it/ http://redport.homepc.it/ southern Afghanistan's deadliest http://falika.dns2go.com/ districts to the U.S. Marines, marking http://billiboom.xe.cx/ the end of the U.K.'s four-year-long combat http://aapoluo.nerdcamp.net/ mission in http://milioner.homepc.it/ the area.
Sangin district http://orda.homepc.it/ -- which http://fafu.aelita.fr/ sits on a key opium trafficking route in the north of the troubled http://urafun.101main.com/ Helmand province -- has been the site of some of the bloodiest battles of the Afghan conflict. When British troops were http://gassa.dyndns.dk/ first deployed there in http://lolori.101main.com/ 2006, with the aim of rescuing an Afghan official, they http://morehome.xe.cx/ were only supposed to stay for 72 hours. But the soldiers were drawn into a turf war between rival drug gangs, notes The Times of London, http://aika.101main.com/ "with one side resembling the [Taliban] and the other resembling the government."
British soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) patrol in Sangin District of Helmand province in Afghanistan. Abdul Malik, AFP / http://boombox.xe.cx/ Getty Images In this http://zabota.no-ip.biz/ Dec. 2, http://homefill.no-ip.biz/ 2009, photograph, British soldiers with http://lilipili.homepc.it/ http://neon.dyndns.dk/ http://uaaoolo.dlinkddns.com/ the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force patrol in Sangin District of Helmand province. U.S. Marines are replacing British troops in this violent district. Improvised http://pilligrimus.no-ip.biz/ explosive devices and skilled http://ballfun.serveirc.com/ Taliban snipers have taken a heavy toll on the http://anita.monbe.be/ British forces. Over the past four years, the military has lost at least 106 soldiers in Sangin -- almost a third of the 337 deaths Britain has suffered in Afghanistan since 2001. And in early June, the Taliban shot down an American helicopter that http://ambar.xe.cx/ had been sent http://akkarouse.dlinkddns.com/ in to evacuate wounded British troops, killing four http://homefart.no-ip.biz/ people.
British officials have been keen to portray the handover as a routine operational measure, and not as an admission of defeat. http://zturbo.dyndns.dk/ Defense Secretary Liam Fox said in a statement that http://kiliorda.dlinkddns.com/ http://giga.monbe.be/ the 1,000 Royal Marines stationed in Sangin should be "very proud of the http://masiota.no-ip.biz/ achievements they have made in one of the most challenging areas of Afghanistan." He added that "the http://kikilimpo.dlinkddns.com/ level of sacrifice has been high http://milla.monbe.be/ and we should never forget the many brave troops" who http://kuku.homepc.it/ lost their lives to defend the security http://oopo.jesais.fr/ http://boboport.homepc.it/ of Britain and its allies.
Under a new NATO http://ballfart.serveirc.com/ deployment plan announced in July, the U.S. will take control of the northern and southern sections of Helmand, which remains a fiercely contested battleground, despite the deployment of tens of thousands of extra troops this year under President Barack Obama's surge http://gammaport.no-ip.org/ plan. Britain's 9,500 troops -- the second-largest http://miliuta.homepc.it/ foreign contingent in Afghanistan, after http://makareva.xe.cx/ the U.S. -- http://vall.monbe.be/ will focus on the province's heavily populated central http://amitta.dns2go.com/ areas, together with Danish and Estonian forces.
Sponsored Links Maj. http://opikka.serveirc.com/ Gen Gordon Messenger, a former commander of Britain's Helmand http://kiliorda.nerdcamp.net/ task http://kolonna.101main.com/ force, http://rouse.homepc.it/ now a spokesman for http://fantastic.homepc.it/ the Ministry of Defence, told BBC radio that the http://kikilimpo.nerdcamp.net/ Americans would continue the http://nassarooms.dyndns.dk/ good http://lopiko.no-ip.biz/ work of http://pasta.homepc.it/ the Royal Marines, who had wrested control of the town of Sangin from the Taliban. "We are seeing real and positive progress in areas that http://onon.jesais.fr/ http://amamgo.dns2go.com/ http://okaroon.dyndns.dk/ only a year or so http://zombi.xe.cx/ ago were in a very different state," he said.
Beyond Sangin town, though, large swaths of the district are still under Taliban control. Some military experts argue that British commanders were never given the manpower they needed to wipe http://homefans.no-ip.biz/ http://dassaroom.dlinkddns.com/ out the militants in Sangin. "We spread our small resources thinly and that inevitably made the small number of British soldiers like http://kilita.homepc.it/ flies in a honeypot and we got into this cycle of fighting," former army chief Gen. Sir Richard Dannatt told the Financial Times in July.
British troops also appear disappointed that, after losing so many of their comrades in this dusty hellhole, they're walking away before the fight is over. Royal http://baobabikus.nerdcamp.net/ Marine James Kelly told the BBC that http://hilida.homepc.it/ http://faust.homepc.it/ http://lirium.101main.com/ he was sure the "Yanks" would defeat the Taliban, but added, "I do feel a little hollow that we didn't break this place, http://ooplio.dns2go.com/ we didn't bring it to our way of thinking. I feel a little heartbroken that we didn't finish it."
But http://kiliniti.homepc.it/ Sangin is far from the only disappointment facing NATO forces in Afghanistan. http://baobabikus.dlinkddns.com/ http://hannasoul.nerdcamp.net/ Many observers are also calling Saturday's parliamentary election -- a key test for the country's young and fragile democracy -- a http://totoportal.no-ip.biz/ failure, following reports of widespread voting fraud. The independent Free and Fair Elections Foundation of Afghanistan said in a preliminary report published today that its 7,000 observers had seen thousands of cases of ballot-stuffing, proxy voting, underage voting, the use of fake voter identification cards and repeat http://bart.xe.cx/ http://hannasoul.dlinkddns.com/ voting.
Election officials also noted that although 5,355 polling centers opened on Saturday, some 1,200 remained shut because of poor security. NATO has said that at least 22 http://dassaroom.nerdcamp.net/ people were killed http://hohorouse.dlinkddns.com/ in voting day violence.
President Hamid Karzai, however, hailed the poll as an unqualified http://millipops.homepc.it/ success. "President Karzai congratulates the http://kit.aelita.fr/ nation of Afghanistan on its successful parliamentary http://polikrot.serveirc.com/ election," read a statement from his office. "This has been another positive step in strengthening democracy http://teredoom.serveirc.com/ in our country."

Indoctrination. It's our god-given right as parents. In fact, my daughter is analyzing New Yorker cartoons as I write this in hopes of creating a budding East Coast media elite. I kid, kind of. Which is why when my girl does pipe up with a negative statement about Mrs. Palin, I smile, even as I feel a bit anxious for unduly influencing a minor.
While I don't love the idea of trying to shape my children's tastes exactly like my own, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a flutter when my two-year-old sings the words to The Replacement's "Kiss Me on the Bus." It's a slippery slope, though, because the last thing you want is to attempt influence and have the whole thing backfire. That's how Alex P. Keaton was made, after all. But us modern parents are still trying to hold onto our youth by relating to our kids in a peer-like fashion. Right or wrong, we love to do it.
Luckily, there are a million tools for parents who want to create little mini-mes. Or at least five, like these --
Rowdy Sprout -- Make your child wear your favorite concert tee (as seen above)!
2. H&M -- Or your favorite weekender outfit. Ohhh, cool.
3. MomsRising -- Sign your daughter up for a protest, or march, that you and she believe in. (Or she had better, if she knows what's good for her.)
4. Bare Naked Ladies, They Might Be Giants, Robbert Bobbert -- Take your kids to a kid-friendly concert to see a band that you probably saw (and got high to) in college. Hey, rock stars are parents too.
5. "Go The F**k to Sleep" -- Inspire a love of edgy literature by only buying books such as this one, ones about babies and tattoos, and anything written by Bob Dylan.
How are you molding and shaping your kid in your image?

Congrats! You are well on your way to raising another good liberal incapable of rational or independent thought who will blindly and mindlessly parrot liberal talking points (as seen by several of the drones commenting here.) That's exactly what the world needs... KeepItup!
Couldn't have hit that nail on the head any harder. And, how friggin' sad that a very young child is drawing conclusions about an adult she's never met, based on the fear-filled hate of her parents. Fantastic parenting, right there.
How is pushing you political views on your child any different than pushing your religious views on them? Does anyone REALLY think they will be able to raise their child with no bias? If so, why the hell are we parents? WE instill the morals and values in our children. They learn from not only what we tell them, but by how we react to society. Is this wrong? In response to the article, not just the attention grabbing headline, I gave my son a harmonica and let him "play" along with Dylan. He then informed me that he was better than Bob. I told him, many would agree lol.
Teaching morals and smiling when your kids says something negative about someone you hate, is not the same thing. Teaching them that it is not nice to talk like that about someone, and trying your best to be careful about what hateful things you say around your little tikes, is teaching them morals.
@Billsfan- I think you miss my point. Children are going to be influenced by our values and convictions. We are their main source of information and authority. If we show dislike for a certain political goup, and are vocal about it around our children, they WILL pick up on it. As much as it's not suppose to be, politics are driven by morals, therefore children are affected morally by political agenda. I said nothing about hating any one politician. It's naive to think children aren't shaped by their parents values.
@Billsfan- Agreed. A good example would be racial sterotypes imparted to our children from their parents. Another example (without the hate) would be my first voting experience. When I was 18 I voted straight ticket republican, just like my father. I didn't understand that the reason HE voted that way was because he was active duty military. As I have gotten older, I realize my views have changed on some counts. This is what I mean by our morals and values being influenced by our parents. With any luck, and a little information, children will learn to think for themselves.

Universal has kicked off development for a new version of John Carpenter's 1981 sci-fi satire They Live.
Because it's clearly The Day Of The Remakes, the studio is working with lot-based company Strike Entertainment to nab the rights to the film.
They Live is fondly remembered for the whacked out plot, which found construction worker Nada (wrestler Roddy Piper) discovering special glasses that allow him to see beyond the disguises of aliens who are secretly controlling humanity.
In true Carpenter style, he's a man always looking for a fight, while the pic also features the immortal line "I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… And I'm all out of bubblegum."
There's no writer or director attached yet, but whoever takes on the job will have to match that line. Good luck!

Can I tell you something?
I hate doing dishes. It's my least favorite chore. I will dust, vacuum and clean bathrooms until my heart's content before I ever opt to scrub a dirty dish. In fact, even the dishwasher is a struggle for me. Loading dishes in, and then putting them back up- let's be honest, who wants to waste valuable time laboring over that? Not me.
That's why I love cooking one-dish dinners. Less hassle when you're cooking, and cleanup is usually a breeze.
So, when I stumbled across Paula's recipe for Black Bean Soup in one of her magazines, it looked like the perfect candidate for my simple kitchen. You just throw everything in a big pot! What could be better? It's also the perfect dish for fall; the red pepper gives it just enough heat to warm you up. You can even make it vegetarian by omitting the bacon, and subbing the chicken broth for either water or vegetable broth.
The original recipe serves four, but I decided to take it one step further. I cut the recipe in half, because I didn't want to eat off of it for the rest of the week with tons of leftovers, and what I ended up with was two servings (or one really hearty serving, depending on the eater).
Here's the reduced recipe, and my notes:
Black Bean Soup
Makes 2 servings
2 slices of bacon, chopped
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
¾ cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
Pinch of red pepper, or more to taste
Pinch of salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Garnish: sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro (if desired)
1. In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Add onion and garlic to bacon and drippings in pan; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until onion is tender.
2. Add beans, chicken broth tomato paste, ground red pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. In the container of a blender, place half of soup. Remove center piece of blender lid to all steam to escape; secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid to avoid spills. Process until smooth. Stir puree into reserved soup. Stir in cilantro just before serving. Garnish and serve.
My notes: I found that I had to keep adding chicken broth to the soup to keep the consistency I wanted. Altogether, I probably used closer to what the original recipe called for, or about 1 ½ cups of broth.
Also, I know I claim that this is a one-dish recipe, but then the directions call for half of the soup to be blended. However, you could totally get away without blending half of your soup. I opted to try it out, but honestly, I think I almost would have preferred not doing so. It's just a matter of taste.
Final note, I don't care for cilantro, so I just omitted it. The garnish that you see in the photo is actually parsley.
As you can see, you can really make this soup to your own tastes.
Enjoy!Read More From Blogs.
I omitted the bacon and substituted olive oil to make this more

Love one dish meals when cooking for two. I put a candle 6 inches from my cutting board to take away the onion fumes. It works....no tears and I Love onions...Terry
By Terry Rohslan on October 13, 2011
Love those one dish meals since now it is just my husband and me. When I cut up onions, I light a candle and place it about 6 inches from my cutting board. It takes the fumes from the onion and it doesn't make my eyes burn. Try it sometime. Pass the word. I don't know how to get the information out to people but I'll bet Paula can. Thanks Terry
By Terry Rohslan on October 13, 2011
My husband loves black bean soup so I will give it a try. Also Paula we as a family and also my friends love your baked spaghetti casserole. Made it for a lunch for some friends and they asked for the recipe. Have made lots of wonderful things from your magazine. Lil Lane October ll,2011

Hey Cheryl, You're totally right! I thought about freezing some for another day, but I wanted to try my hand at cutting the recipe in half. Maybe next time I'll freeze it!

Hi Paula, Would you.create more one pot menus for two? I too HATE to do dishes!! Thank you so much!

You could have made the full sized recipe then froze left overs so you had dinner for another night.

One of my sons(3)favorites when growing up was a Hamburger and Cornbread cassrole. It was made with green beans, turnips, potatoes, onion, hamburger, & seasoning. Being from west TX we liked it spicy. cook all ingredents til adente, place in baking dish make a pan of cornbread, pour on top and bake sprinkled with cheese when bread is done.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our principal is an amazing asset to Orem High. He knows and cares for the students, he encourages and supports the teachers, he welcomes and involves the parents, and he reaches out to and helps the community. He has been a unifying force, making Orem High a fabulous school. The principal and assistant principals work well together. The counselors go out of their way to make sure the students succeed. The teachers know their subjects and help the students get excited about learning. Orem High is an all-around great school!
Orem High currently has the best principal any of my children have had anywhere! I am pleased with the variety of classes and options available in this school. I agree with others who have commented on a lack of motivation apparent in many of the students but place the responsibility for it in the homes of the students and not the walls of the school. I have experienced frustration with the counselors and was even told on one occasion that there was no space to enroll a student in a required class. It is a good school and believe it continues to get better thanks to a great principal. Thank you Ms. Lindhout!
We absolutely adore Jane. She is both professional yet caring about our children. She has the ability to give posative reinforcement for a very ADD child, which is a rare talent! We have been very pleased with the arts program. There are talented and caring teachers in this area. The quality of the program is the best we have ever experienced and we have lived in many parts of this country. The academic programs are very good, however, the math (investigations)is hurting our kids GPA. The teachers love Orem High and it shows. Overall the teachers who work full-time at Orem are exceptional. I wish it were that way with many part-time teachers. They are very hard to contact and many times are not at school when they say they are. That is very disappointing. Having said that we love Orem High and thank you for caring for our children.
As a former student, I think Orem High is a good school. The teachers are good and so is the administration. What most high school students look for is the abundance of extracurricular activities. There are a variety of them, but they are not all supported the same. I was in the music program and we were neglected. All the support and funding went to the sports and dance program. One way to make this school better is to show universal support and funding.
Orem High has been a great experience for my children, so much so that my sister's kids drive 20 minutes to go here as well. We have had a great experience with the teachers and the extracurricular programs are first rate. I wish the student's themselves would appreciate a bit more what a unique and great school they have.
Most of the teachers and administration at OHS excellent. They are interested in the students and their sucess. They teach and inspire. However,many of the students themselves are very apathetic toward their education. It would be a much better school if the students themselves cared more about their education than their weekend. Unfortunately that is not the case. I have had two children attend school there. While I whole heartedly endorse the teaching, I am very disappointed in the student body.
Except for some apparent apathy by the administration I have been extremely pleased with my students' experiences at OHS. The faculty is helpful and kind, the students seem to have less conflict and are more inclusive than other places I am familiar with. It's a great school!
I send my student from another district (Nebo) to attend Orem. Veteran staff, strong prgrams, safe, and, as one can see, very good standardized test scores. Orem has outstanding programs including Drama, Unified Studies, and Comcurrent Enrollment opportunities. It has a great academic tradition along with a variety of positive activities.
I have had 4 students attend this school it is a great place and one that is caring and helping to the students. Everyone who will trys can find success.
My child attends this high school and I am not at all impressed with the way things are run. The principal needs to step up and take action. We need to get involved and make Orem High School what it was built to be!

DUBAI, UAE, January 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
- DMCC Executive Chairman dedicates Islamic Finance award to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,Vice President,Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai
- 8thDMCC award received for longstanding and continuous contributions to Islamic Finance
DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre), Dubai's and the region's global gateway for commodity trade and enterprise, announced today that Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, received the Outstanding Contribution to Islamic Finance Award at the annual Mena Fund Manager Performance Awards gala dinner and ceremony.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140114/663529 )
UAE's Minister of Economy, His Excellency Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori, presented Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, with the award at The Address Downtown Dubai, attended by over 300 industry participants.
Dedicating the award to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the DMCC Executive Chairman, said:
"It is an honour to receive this award which is further testament to the strength of the leadership of Dubai. We will continue to innovate and deliver to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai's vision to see Dubai become the global centre for Islamic Finance.
Commodities are the backbone of the Islamic economy due to the transparent and secure way stakeholders can exchange physical goods to guarantee transactions. While obviously based on the tenets of Islam, the opportunities to capitalise on this growing segment are not exclusive to Islamic companies. It appeals to the broader business and international community more so now than ever - and as a global centre for commodities, DMCC is proven to be well equipped to facilitate the growth of this thriving and rapidly expanding sector".
DMCC has a deep heritage in Islamic Finance and longstanding track record in supporting the Islamic economy. In fact, DMCC's success itself was built on Islamic Finance foundations. The iconic Almas Tower was funded through a US$ 200million Sukuk issued in 2005 and at the time was regarded a pioneering product, as repayment was possible in physical gold. It was also paid in full and on time, demonstrating DMCC's financial strength and commitment to delivery.
Together with Shariah Capital and global partners Tocqueville and Blackrock, DMCC also created the world's first Shariah-compliant gold and commodities funds. These have since won several asset management and Islamic Finance awards for their performance.
The world's first Shariah-compliant Gold ETF was launched by DMCC in 2009 - the first physically backed gold product to be listed on Nasdaq Dubai and in the Middle East.
More recently, in 2012 the government authority also launched DMCC Tradeflow to enhance the platform to address the clear and necessary demand for Murabaha, the commodity financing tool.
"The willingness and drive to constantly adapt to meet market needs, means that the DMCC Tradeflow platform is becoming an indispensable tool for Islamic banks looking to trade commodities for Murabaha. Hence the scope of activities Islamic banks can perform in Dubai is growing exponentially", said Paul Boots, Director, DMCC Tradeflow.
The Outstanding Contribution to Islamic Finance Award follows a string of DMCC's previous awards across the Islamic finance sector stretching back to 2009 when Barclays Hedge ranked DSAM Kauthar Gold Fund, part of a joint venture between DMCC and finance provider Shariah Capital, in its top 10 funds based on performance for four consecutive years. In 2010 Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, received the Middle East Investor Award by the Hedge Funds World Middle East Conference 2010 for DMCC's exceptional performance during 2009; an award which Bin Sulayem dedicated to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. In addition, DMCC also scooped Best Fund-of-Fund, Failaka, Islamic Fund Award in 2010; while 2011 and 2012 saw consecutive Mena Fund Managers Outstanding Contribution to Islamic Finance Awards.
Overview of DMCC Awards and Achievements including:
- Facilitating Most Innovative Structured Transaction Award in 2007, Deal of the Year Award
- Deal of the Year 2008, Euromoney's Trade Finance Magazine (Global Multi Commodity Receipt (GMR)-facilitated financing by Standard Chartered Bank to Mohsen Line Trading)
- Received Middle East Investor Award; Dubai Shariah Asset Management awarded as Best Shariah Compliant product provider; and DSAM Kauthar Commodity Fund received Best Funds of Funds Award; at the Hedge Funds World Middle East Conference 2010
- Best Fund-of-Funds, Failaka Islamic Fund Award, April 21, 2010
- Outstanding Performance & Innovation Award, MENA Fund Manager Awards 2011
- Outstanding Performance & Innovation Award, MENA Fund Manager Awards 2012
- Outstanding Contribution to Islamic Finance Award, Mena Fund Manager Performance Awards - January 2014
The MENA Fund Manager Performance Awards recognise and reward the most influential heavyweights of the regions fund management space, and is the largest single gathering of fund managers in the industry's calendar.

Business Conflict? Take a Different Approach and Stay in Control (12/14/12)
Business conflicts are a fact of life and occur in the best of organisations and at any level. Disagreements naturally escalate and easily spread out to a variety of dispute stakeholders. Dropping it all and losing face is no option for many, neither is ending up in costly and time-consuming litigation, not to mention the emotional strain, organisational inefficiencies, unwanted distractions and other disadvantages any dispute brings about. What is the best way out and how can this be managed effectively?

TSV stacked memory: a closer look
There is a lot of confusion among non memory experts as to how stacked memory technology with TSV is evolving. I-Micronews thought we should take A closer look.
DDR SDRAM (Double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory) when compared to single data rate SDRAM, makes higher transfer rates possible by more strict control of the timing of the electrical data and clock signals. The name "double data rate" refers to the fact that a DDR SDRAM with a certain clock frequency achieves nearly twice the bandwidth of a SDR SDRAM running at the same clock frequency. For example, with data being transferred 64 bits at a time, DDR SDRAM gives a transfer rate of (memory bus clock rate) × 2 (for dual rate) × 64 (number of bits transferred) / 8 (number of bits/byte). Thus, with a bus frequency of 100 MHz, DDR SDRAM gives a maximum transfer rate of 1600 MB/s.
DDR memory by application
For those of you that are electrical engineers the differences between these DDR variations are shown below.
Differences in DDR architecture
Comparison of the required voltages and data transfer speeds for the various generations of DDR are shown below.
VDD vs data rate for DDR generations
Although all types of DRAMS are meeting their limits in terms of supply voltage, the demand for high-bandwidth memory keeps increasing. Thus memory companies looked at TSV based 3DIC solutions
Advantages of DRAM with TSV
- Higher density per area
Again, these again separate into 3 types depending on application
TSV based memories for various microelectronic applications
Hynix indicates that for graphics HBM (high bandwidth memory) results in 65% increase in performance and a 40% decrease in power consumption (more).
HBM vs DDR5 for graphics applications
Below we see the power comparison for a 16 Gb DDR3 DIMM vs a 8 chip 3D stack of 2GB DDR3 chips. We can see the 3D stack power consumption is much lower than the DDR3 DIMM and in fact nearly equivalent to an 8Gb DDR3 DIMM (more).
Comparison of power consumption for DDR3 DIMM vs DDR3 TSV stack
Lastly lets look at the memory option for several high volume applications.

"The question of Salafism within opposition ranks has been more of a political football than a subject of serious conversation. Assad backers played it up, convinced they could frighten both the country's own non-Islamists and minorities as well as the West, still traumatised by its misadventure in Iraq. Regime detractors played it down, intent on preserving the image of a pristine uprising; people sympathetic to their cause, whether in the media or elsewhere, likewise were reluctant to delve too deeply into the issue, anxious about playing into regime hands."
—from Crisis Group's recent report,"Tentative Jihad: Syria's Fundamentalist Opposition"

Consumer sentiment remains gloomy, but the market may be saying it's time to cheer up. The good times could be back for a while and -- dare we say it? -- stocks could be at the start of a secular bull market.
The latest optimistic sign came from the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which hit a high last week and is up 7.3% already this year. This implies that some of the most cyclical, economically sensitive stocks -- those of airlines, railroads, and the like -- are having a banner year and don't anticipate the much-feared recession.
TECHNICALLY, THE MARKET ENTERS a bull phase only when the transports and the broader Dow Jones Industrial Average both make new highs. But the DJIA is only 4% away from its all-time record close of 14,164, hit in October 2007.
"There's a 25% possibility we're in a new secular bull market, and no one believes it," says Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James. Supporting his case: On Dec. 31 and Jan. 2, 90% of stocks traded higher. Such broad-based strength is usually followed by more strength. After two 90%-up days, the market has climbed an additional 6.8% one month later 83% of the time and 12.8% three months later 100% of the time, says Saut.
Could Washington kill the party on Wall Street by failing to agree on the debt ceiling? Absolutely. Our legislators have certainly turned a blind eye to the markets in the past. But even a correction based on Washington's folly could be short-lived. Remember, the market quickly moved past the drama surrounding the debt ceiling in 2011, which in hindsight was a great buying opportunity.
"We are pretty optimistic that the next three to five years are going to be fine," providing investors with returns in the high single digits to 10%, says Sarat Sethi, a partner at Douglas C. Lane & Associates, a money manager in New York. The economies in China and the U.S. have stabilized, and corporations, which pulled back on capital expenditures in the fourth quarter, could soon start spending again.
The market does seem to be anticipating a pickup in capital spending that benefits technology companies, as most of the shares in that sector—except, of course, Apple AAPL 0.639296773549096% Apple Inc.

Apple, however, continues to drag down the tech indexes. The S&P 500 Information Technology Index is down 1.31% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 is up 1.96%. Take Apple out of the mix and the tech index has risen 4.78%, and the S&P 500 is up 3.06%, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The giant of the tech industry is slated to report earnings Wednesday, and investors are undoubtedly jittery. There have been recent reports that Apple has cut orders for iPhone 5 components and that the iPad Mini is eating into demand for its full-size iPad. Concerns have also been raised about the sustainability of Apple's margins.
Apple shares are 30% below their peak and broke under $500 a number of times last week, before struggling to close Friday at exactly $500.
