Encopresis in children prior to four years of age may be a potty training or developmental issue and typically is not considered a behavior problem. The problem is when the bowel movement is placed somewhere other than into the toilet by the older child at regular intervals, at least once a month. The passage of the stool may be voluntary, involuntary, formed, semi-formed, or liquid.
First, a parent should rule out medical, mental, or developmental issues for the encopresis by scheduling a complete physical and or psychological exam. If the child is found competent then a behavior problem exists. The child should begin regular therapy with a therapist who is experienced in helping to resolve this behavior.
Here is an example of the problem, which I located on the internet.
Katy has encopresis: she deliberately defecates in her pants at home and at school as
one of her primary means of communication. Adults are annoyed, peers are distant, her mother is overwhelmed, and her stepfather is
disgusted, and her siblings are confused.
Katy is "alone" and headed towards a high¬level out¬of¬county group home.
Through a team approach, Katy was able to identify her anger and develop new coping skills. She learned to identify the risk factors that would lead to crisis situations and improve her communication skills. She was successful in giving up her encopresis.
A parent must avoid severe reactions to episodes of encopresis. When our daughter went through this phase, she cleaned up the mess that she made and took a shower. When she spread feces on the walls and other objects, she was given a bucket of soapy bleach water and a brush. When she defecated in her clothing, she got to rinse the items in the toilet until they were no longer soiled. Before she rejoined the family, she had to shower and put on fresh clothing. The behavior lasted less than a year.
Another daughter arrived in our home already under the care of a gastrointestinologist. She would only have a bowel movement about once a week and she would hide during those episodes. Because she was withholding stool so they were giving her mineral oil everyday. That caused dark slimy stools that she had trouble controlling.
We discontinued the mineral oil and put her on a high fiber diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, popcorn, and whole grain products. We sprinkled Metamucil on her cereal as if it were sugar. She was rewarded for successfully defecating in the toilet and we noticed that warm baths help to initiate the process.
When she began to have bowel movements daily, they were smaller and not as painful. She enjoyed rewards and responded well to praise, candy, and stickers. She was fully potty-trained in about six weeks.

Why False Teachers Need to be Exposed
There's a lot of nonsense parading about as Christianity these days. But when you speak out against it, some folks play the tolerance card claiming it does no harm and we need to just let people be. However, the following video, while being completely hilarious to me, demonstrates exactly how dangerous it can be to let some people prance about as representatives of Christianity in general.

AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!! I Nearly Lost My Blog
Hello again, blog world!
After a nearly fatal power loss at the data center for my hosting service, I nearly lost my blog. Even now, it is crippled and I'm starting the slow process of internet therapy.
Even though I had a back up of the blog, it has still loaded in with some dreadful errors that I'm simply not sure how to deal with yet. So, please be patient with me as I try to figure out how to get "God's Way Works" back up to the image and standard it had before this debacle.
Thank you so much for your patience with me and let me encourage you to keep coming back. Hopefully within the next week, I'll be back up and running at full-steam.

Logitech's Wireless All-in-One Keyboard TK820 is nothing more than utility at its best. But there ain't nothing wrong with that, especially if you're accustom to working on a laptop. I personally loathe mice because they slow me down; the simple action of moving my hand to the mouse and back to the keyboard is, at least to me, a cumbersome one.
Built-in to the TK820 is a large touchpad. A touchpad that measures 4.17 x 4.17″ – that's 16-inch square inches of real estate to perform a variety of gestures. Though the 13 included gestures will be relegated to Windows 8 users only, as there is no mention of Mac support.
A slim profile and wireless connectivity that works with Logitech's ever so small unifying receiver means less stuff to clutter up your otherwise messy, or perhaps minimalist desk and computer setup. There is no word on battery life, but I'd expect at least 30-days, perhaps even more. Other features include Logitech's PerfectStroke key system, Incurve keys for comfort and a set of customizable set of software and hot keys.
No word on a ship date, but you can preorder it for $99.99 with shipping expected sometime in August.

Its a cute sandal, but not a great fit. It is tight on the toes and the heel strap does not stay on very well and I constantly feel like I need to stop and re-adjust. I don't recommend this sandal for anything more than an occasional casual shoe where you're not walking much.
Returned, but Liked the Style

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I returned this sandal after wearing them around my apartment, because they were too tight around the front/toe area. My feet are neither narrow nor wide, so it is possible that with some patience I could have broken them in to fit better. Despite the fit in the front, I liked the mix of simplicity and detail with the braided straps.

Mayor Tom Henry last year proposed moving the statute of Gen. Anthony Wayne from its tree-surrounded spot in Freimann Square to the Courthouse Green. The mayor wanted a more visible spot for the statue, but – strong arguments for preservation of the Courthouse Green aside – there's a case to be made for leaving the general's statue just where it is.
In its leafy enclave at the northeast corner of Main and Clinton streets, the statue isn't unlike many other jewels in the city's rich collection of parks. Not every piece of public art is on prominent display – at least not with a simple passing glance. Instead, the statues serve as invitations to people to get out of their cars and explore the city's extraordinary parks.
It takes some effort to find them and observe them closely, but it's worth the effort.
The traditional start of the summer season offers an opportunity to explore the community's history through its monuments. How Fort Wayne's statutes came to be and how their locations were chosen is a lesson in itself.
Take some time this summer to meet some of the city's historic treasures.

Final Days to Stop Health Care Takeover
Dear Friends:
Radical health care reform is not yet dead. Since neither the House nor the Senate will agree to the other chamber's bill, President Obama and the liberal congressional leadership are trying to ram through a takeover of nearly one-sixth of the U.S. economy with a new strategy. They are pleading with House members to support the Senate bill in exchange for a promise that the two chambers will later pass so-called "fixes" to the bill known as reconciliation.
But the damage will have been done. If this bill passes, it will mean federal funding of abortion, a nearly half-trillion-dollar cut to Medicare, heavy taxes on individuals and businesses, higher premiums, and strong government control that will inevitably lead to a decline in patient care. Even if the House does agree to some fixes, the health care bill cannot be adequately repaired.
A House vote is expected very soon, and liberals are desperately twisting arms to try to pass this terrible bill. That's why your congressman needs to hear from you today. If you are opposed to the health care bill, please tell your congressman to vote against the bill or any procedure that would advance the bill in the House.
You can reach him or her by dialing the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or by sending a suggested e-mail or one entirely your own here.
Last year, 39 Democrats voted against the House bill. Since then, one has resigned and a second has changed parties and vows continued opposition. The remaining 37 congressmen, listed below, are under tremendous pressure to vote for the Senate bill. If you live in one of these congressmen's districts, it is imperative that your congressman hear from you.

If you are being paid to sign a guild charter, don't expect that you have found a new group of Azerothian BFFs. I paid for signatures to start a guild bank on my banking alt, and most of my signers were disappointed that I didn't want them to stick around after finishing guild registration (and actually seemed like they had done this multiple times with the same result). If you are promised leveling help and dungeon runs when you register, that's great, and I hope you have found a guild home. If you are given gold to sign up, enjoy the cash.
Conversely, if you are forming a guild and paying people for signups, don't expect you are paying for long term loyalty. My main is guildless, and I usually ignore people whining for signatures, but after I went through scrounging up 9 people to make my guild bank alt, I relented and signed someone's charter (and got paid for it). I had assumed that someone paying for signups was probably trying to make a personal guild bank as I had, but after the charter was complete, I discovered that I was in a guild full of low-level players with a guild message asking members to contact me (the only 80) for dungeon runs. I had to look up the guild quit command, and ended up mailing the signup gold back to the guild leader.

Slathering on sunscreen and heading to the pool is a time honored summer tradition. But with so many products on the shelves these days, it's easy to get overwhelmed and often times burned by the sometimes misleading information on the label.
According to Dr. Frank Poland of Beckley Dermatology, sunlight is composed of two types of ultraviolet light: UVB rays, which cause sunburns, and UVA rays which tan. The important thing to understand, he said, is the FDA only requires sunscreens to protect against UVB.
That means skin exposed to the sun without UVA protection is still at risk for sun damage and wrinkles.
"UVA ages the skin. Skin cancers are caused by UVB, and 15 to 30 percent can turn into squamous cell carcinoma," said Poland.
The best way to protect your family is to make sure the labels list both UVA and UVB or broad spectrum protection, Poland said, and to use a sunscreen with an SPF between 15 and 50.
Last but not least, he advises patients not to neglect their lips, put on a chap stick with at least a SPF 15.

There's no cure for acne. Whenever she finds a treatment for that, she'll be richer than her whole family. I'm waiting to know what ends up working for her
you should find a good dermatologist with all the money you have... it is a waste.
First off, kendall's skin isn't that bad. If you see it in person it is just a couple of bumps that EVERYONE gets if yall are forgetting she is only 15!!!!!! So she is going to get acne. And you all don't even know her , so lay off.
Everyone needs to stop insulting Kendall. How do you think she feels, being on TV and in the spotlight with acne? It's embarrassing enough for any teen when they have even the slightest pimple. I know it's embarrassing for me when I get zits, and I'll be the first to admit that I get a pimple every once in a while. So whether you people insulting her decide to admit it, too, I know your skin is never perfect. Kendall's doesn't even look that bad! She's still a beautiful girl no matter what, just leave her alone.
Just a typical teen problem..She's a gorgeous girl! Wonderful hair, EYES, lips. I think she's just FINE!
Shes so pretty NoHomo But her skin looks awfull she shouldnt wear to muuch make up. No Offence
God, this poor chick is like 15. Be nice people. Everyone has acne at that age. I know I did. She is very pretty and will grow up to be smoking hot. Mark my words.
Yeah....doesn't look good at all. They need to take off all that makeup and make her skin breath!
awhh i feel bad for her with her skin its prob all that makeup she has to put on
With all her parents money and they still can't find this girl a good dermatologist.

Election of Uthman
|This article contains too many or too-lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. (March 2008)
The Generous – (Al Ghani)
Related articles
Uthman ibn Affan, the third caliph, was chosen by a council meeting in Medina, in northwestern Arabia, in AH 23 (643/644).[1]
The second caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab, was stabbed by an angry Persian slave named Feroz. Mindful of the tumults that had occurred after the death of Muhammad (see Succession to Muhammad), on his deathbed Umar appointed a committee of six men, to choose a new leader.
He wished this consultation, or shura, to survive the strictest criticism. The six men were:
- Ali ibn Abi Talib
- Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf
- Sad ibn Abi Waqqas
- Uthman ibn Affan
- Zubayr ibn al-Awwam
- Talhah
Umar's expectation seems to have been that the group should choose one among themselves who would be acceptable to all.
Talha was absent and did not reach Medina until after the decision had been made. The choice of a new ruler for the new Islamic empire fell to five men.[2]
At his death bed, Umar ibn al-Khattab (d.644) nominated a board of six members who were required to elect one of themselves as the next caliph. The group consisted of Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, Ali ibn Abi Talib and Uthman ibn Affan. To regulate the group and ensure that no single person would stop the process, Umar said that they should all agree unanimously on the next caliph and he ordered his son, Abdullah bin Umar to kill any one person whose opinion would differ from the rest of the group. Out of the six members, Zubair withdrew his candidature in favor of Ali. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas withdrew in favor of Uthman.[2] Out of the three remaining candidates Abdur Rahman decided to withdraw, leaving Uthman and Ali. Abdur Rahman was appointed as the arbitrator to choose between the remaining two candidates. Contacting the two candidates separately, he put to them the question whether they would follow in the footsteps of the previous caliphs. Ali said that he would follow the Quran and the Sunnah of Muhammed. Uthman replied to the question in the affirmative without any reservation. Thereupon, Abdur Rahman gave his verdict in favor of the election to Uthman.[3]
Accounts of this consultation vary widely, and none of the candidates were actually killed in the process.
An accepted sunni version of this account shows a tie in votes between all three Uthman, Abdur Rahman and Ali where Uthman and Ali voted in favor of their respective partner in the elections. Then Abdur Rahman suggested to allow him to withdraw his candidature at the cost of the choice for leadership between the two remaining candidates. He was allowed to do so and he chose Uthman as the new caliph.
Wilferd Madelung[edit]
According to the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London, researcher Wilferd Madelung,[4] only Uthman and Ali were willing to take the burden of the caliphate. Each of them said that he was willing to swear allegiance to the other if not chosen. It was up to the three remaining members to make the choice. Sa'd is said to have slightly favored Ali. Al-Zubayr supported Uthman. 'Abd al-Rahman thus had the deciding vote. According to Madelung's account of the shura, 'Abd al-Rahman delayed announcing his choice until he faced a public meeting at the mosque, where he announced his choice of Uthman. Ali, who was present, was thus under pressure to immediately give his allegiance, his bay'ah, to Uthman, which he did accordingly.
The early Muslim historian Al-Tabari gives a more detailed version of Umar's supposed words setting up the consultation.[5]
John Glubb[edit]
The British historian John Glubb summarizes the matter thus:
|Umar had prescribed a maximum of three days for their (the electoral committee's) deliberations. At the end of that period, they must willy-nilly unanimously choose a khalif. In the event of the decision not being unanimous, the majority candidate was to be adopted, the members of the minority being all immediately put to death.
Suyuti quotes the following:
Shia view[edit]
Shi'a Muslims argue that the election should not have happened at all. They say that Muhammad had clearly indicated that he wished Ali to succeed him (see Succession to Muhammad) and that every successive choice of a different caliph was defiance of Muhammad's wishes. Ali did not desire power; he wanted to carry out the duties he had been given by his cousin Muhammad. Shi'a also deny that Ali gave his allegiance to Uthman. Ali is quoted saying:
- But good Heavens! what had I to do with this "consultation"? Where was any doubt about me with regard to the first of them (caliphs) that I was now considered akin to these ones (in this consultation)? Sermon of ash-Shiqshiqiyyah
- "You (Uthman) know very well that I deserve the caliphate more than anyone else" (Nahj al Balagha sermon 77)
Sa'id Akhtar Rizvi, a 21st century Shi'a twelver Islamic scholar writes:
|On the third day, 'Abdu 'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf withdrew his name and told 'Ali that he would make him caliph if; Ali pledged to follow the Book of Allah, the traditions of the Holy Prophet and the system of Abu Bakr and 'Umar. 'Abdu 'r-Rahman knew very well what his reply would be. 'Ali (as) said, "I follow the Book of Allah, the traditions of the Holy Prophet and my own beliefs."
Then 'Abdu'r-Rahman put the same conditions to 'Uthman, who readily accepted. Thus, 'Abdu 'r-Rahman declared 'Uthman to be the caliph.
'Ali (as) told 'Abdu r-Rahman: "By Allah, you did not do it but with the same hope which he ('Umar) had from his friend." (He meant that 'Abdu 'r-Rahman had made 'Uthman caliph hoping that 'Uthman would nominate him as his successor.)
Then 'Ali said, "May Allah create enmity between you two." After a few years 'Abdu 'r Rahman and 'Uthman grew to hate each others; they did not talk to each other till 'Abdu'r Rahman died.
'Uthman, the third Caliph, was killed by the Muslims who were not happy with his nepotism. The circumstances did not provide him the opportunity to choose his own successor. Muslims were, for the first time, really free to select or elect a caliph of their choice; they flocked to the door of 'Ali (as).[8]

Find Cash in Trash
Damian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When I was little, my mom and grandma used to tell me that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Clean Harbors (NYSE: CLH), Waste Connections (NYSE: WCN) and Republic Services (NYSE: RSG) are proof that they weren't wrong. These companies have built highly profitable, multi-billion-dollar businesses out of waste management. Let's take a look at them and try to elucidate if they are good long-term investments or not.
All kinds of trash
Clean Harbors provides a wide array of environmental services in the U.S., operating in five segments: technical services Oil Re-refining and Recycling, SK Environmental Services, Industrial and Field Services, and Oil & Gas Field Services. It leads in various segments of the waste management industry, controlling roughly 70% of North America's commercial incineration capacity and approximately 20% of hazardous materials landfill capacity. Moreover, the firm's hazardous waste management assets provide it with a strong advantage that looks very difficult to match (Morningstar).
In this industry, expertise really matters; it might be the difference between complying with environmental regulations and not being able to operate. Fortunately, Clean Harbors already knows the drill. Furthermore, a trend toward stricter environmental regulation makes compliance more expensive and difficult, and incentives for outsourcing greater. Clean Harbors seems poised to benefit from this situation over the years to come. Even further, the company holds a strong position to benefit from the increasing volume of hazardous waste as the economy recoups, and from new shale plays like Bakken.
Due to high switching costs, the company enjoys a substantial client stickiness and a steady source of revenue. This has resulted in continuous revenue growth over the past few years. This growth was boosted last quarter by the acquisition of Safety-Kleen, which helped revenue rise by over 50% YoY, contributing more than 200,000 clients and an important business diversification. Actually, it has provided leading exposure to the oil re-refining segment. Going forward, multiple cross-selling opportunities open new roads for growth.
As a result, analysts expect the firm to deliver an EPS growth rate around 46% this year and an average of 13%-14% per year over the next five. So, trading at 28 times its earnings, slightly above the industry average, I would recommend buying and holding this stock. Upside potential is significant, especially after the Safety-Kleen purchase.
Small towns, big business
Waste Connection operates in the solid waste segment, providing collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling services in secondary markets of the Western U.S. Over the past several years, the firm has been posting double-digit top-line revenue growth, even through rough economic patches. By serving less-competitive markets, the company has acquired a considerable pricing power, mainly due to the lack of competition. In addition to this stable market, the company has made an incursion in the E&P waste segment, one of higher potential and margins, mainly through the acquisition of R360 Environmental Solutions, a leading provider of non-hazardous oilfield waste treatment and disposal services in the U.S.
Considerably moated against competitors and holding strong pricing power, Waste Connection has outperformed its peers, delivering an operating margin of 19.5% (TTM), versus the 13.2% industry average. These features have also impacted the firm's beta of 0.5.
Although prospects do not look bad, analysts expect the firm to deliver an average annual EPS growth rate around 12%, underperforming its peers. Meanwhile, Waste Connection's stock trades above industry average valuations in relation to its earnings, sales, and book-values. Concerned by increased competition in the E&P segment, the firm's dependence on acquisitions to maintain growth levels, and its assets building faster than its revenue, while trading close to a ten-year high, I'd recommend holding until the valuation becomes more attractive.
Not a trashy investment
Republic Services is one of Waste Connection's main competitors. As the second largest non-hazardous waste management company in the U.S., only behind Waste Management (NYSE: WM), it has dug an economic moat for itself, mainly on the back of its vertical integration and the resulting "operational efficiencies and scale advantages that are difficult for local operators to replicate" (Morningstar). Unlike Waste Connection, however, the company experienced a decline in revenue during the last recession. So, why invest in Republic Services?
Even through the economic turmoil and decreasing revenue, the firm managed to generate increasing profits and margins, proving its resilience. As the economy recovers, further profit growth should derive from higher volumes and yields. Meanwhile, an expanded landfill base will also provide some upside.
Cash is important for Republic Services. As demand increases and regulations become stricter, investments in recycling and eco-friendly processing methods will separate successful companies from declining ones. Free cash flow will be also used to pay out dividends, repurchase shares, and pursue strategic acquisitions.
Moreover, as stated by Zacks analysts, "Republic Services is currently focusing to increase its operational efficiency by converting to compressed natural gas collection vehicles and conversion of rear-loading trucks to automated-side loaders, which will reduce cost and improve profitability."
So, trading at 22.6 times its earnings, at about a 15% discount to the industry average, while offering compelling and attainable growth prospects and targets, I'd recommend buying and holding this stock.
Bottom line
Although all three companies offer compelling growth prospects and look reasonably valued, I believe that the smallest of them in terms of market cap, Clean Harbors, stands as the best investment opportunity for the long-term. With a moated and increasingly specialized business, steady sources of income, plenty of cash and, especially, a great outlook for the years to come, this is a stock you should include in your investment portfolio.

Next Question for Tunisia: The Role of Islam in Politics
By THOMAS FULLER
TUNIS - The Tunisian revolution that overthrew decades of authoritarian rule has entered a delicate new phase in latest days over the role of Islam in politics. Tensions mounted right here last week when military helicopters and security forces have been known as in to carry out an unusual mission: protecting the city's brothels from a mob of zealots.
Police officers dispersed a group of rock-throwing protesters who streamed into a warren of alleyways lined with legally sanctioned bordellos shouting, "God is excellent!" and "No to brothels inside a Muslim country!"
Five weeks following protesters forced out the country's dictator, President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisians are locked inside a fierce and noisy debate about how far, or even regardless of whether, Islamism must be infused into the new government.
About 98 % of the population of ten million is Muslim, but Tunisia's liberal social policies and Western way of life shatter stereotypes with the Arab world. Abortion is legal, polygamy is banned and women commonly put on bikinis on the country's Mediterranean beaches. Wine is openly sold in supermarkets and imbibed at bars across the country.
Women's groups say they're concerned that within the cacophonous aftermath from the revolution, conservative forces could tug the nation away from its strict tradition of secularism.
"Nothing is irreversible," mentioned Khadija Cherif, a former head from the Tunisian Association of Democratic Girls, a feminist organization. "We do not desire to let down our guard."
Ms. Cherif was one of a large number of Tunisians who marched through Tunis, the capital, on Saturday demanding the separation of mosque and state in among the largest demonstrations because the overthrow of Mr. Ben Ali.
Protesters held up signs saying, "Politics ruins religion and religion ruins politics."
They were also mourning the killing on Friday of a Polish priest by unknown attackers. That assault was also condemned by the country's primary Muslim political motion, Ennahdha, or Renaissance, which was banned below Mr. Ben Ali's dictatorship but is now regrouping.
In interviews in the Tunisian news media, Ennahdha's leaders have taken pains to praise tolerance and moderation, comparing themselves for the Islamic parties that govern Turkey and Malaysia.
"We know we have an basically fragile economy that is extremely open toward the outside world, towards the point of being completely dependent on it," Hamadi Jebali, the party's secretary general, mentioned in an interview together with the Tunisian magazine Réalités. "We have no interest whatsoever in throwing everything away nowadays or tomorrow."
The party, which is allied with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, says it opposes the imposition of Islamic law in Tunisia.
But some Tunisians say they stay unconvinced.
Raja Mansour, a bank employee in Tunis, said it was too early to tell how the Islamist movement would evolve.
"We really don't know if they are a real threat or not," she said. "But the very best defense is usually to attack." By this she meant that secularists ought to assert themselves, she stated.
Ennahdha is one of the few organized movements inside a very fractured political landscape. The caretaker government that has managed the country since Mr. Ben Ali was ousted is fragile and weak, with no clear leadership emerging from the revolution.
The unanimity of the protest movement against Mr. Ben Ali in January, the uprising that set off demonstrations across the Arab planet, has since evolved into several everyday protests by competing groups, a improvement that a lot of Tunisians discover unsettling.
"Freedom is really a great, fantastic adventure, but it's not without having risks," said Fathi Ben Haj Yathia, an author and former political prisoner. "There are numerous unknowns."
One of many biggest demonstrations given that Mr. Ben Ali fled took place on Sunday in Tunis, exactly where a number of thousand protesters marched towards the prime minister's workplace to demand the caretaker government's resignation. They accused it of getting hyperlinks to Mr. Ben Ali's government.
Tunisians are debating the long term of their nation on the streets. Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the broad thoroughfare in central Tunis named right after the country's very first president, resembles a Roman forum on weekends, packed with folks of all ages excitedly discussing politics.
The freewheeling and somewhat chaotic atmosphere across the nation has been accompanied by a breakdown in security that has been particularly unsettling for women. With the extensive security apparatus from the old government decimated, leaving the police force in disarray, numerous females now say they're afraid to walk outside alone at night.
Achouri Thouraya, a 29-year-old graphic artist, says she has mixed feelings toward the revolution.
She shared in the joy from the overthrow of what she described as Mr. Ben Ali's kleptocratic government. But she also says she believes that the government's crackdown on any Muslim groups it thought to be extremist, a draconian police plan that included monitoring these who prayed frequently, helped shield the rights of girls.
"We had the freedom to reside our lives like women in Europe," she mentioned.
But now Ms. Thouraya said she was a "little scared."
She added, "We do not know who will be president and what attitudes he will have toward ladies."
Mounir Troudi, a jazz musician, disagrees. He has no love for the former Ben Ali government, but said he believed that Tunisia would stay a land of beer and bikinis.
"This can be a maritime country," Mr. Troudi stated. "We are sailors, and we've usually been open towards the outside planet. I've confidence inside the Tunisian people. It is not a country of fanatics."

In 2010, Alexandra Huddleston walked 800 miles around the island of Shikoku, Japan, loosely tracing the life of Buddhist saint Kōbō Daishi. Part photo book, part travelogue, Huddleston documented her entire journey for East or West: Walking a Buddhist Pilgrimage, our Project of the Day.
If you've ever planned on sending postcards while on a trip, only to end up staring at the daunting blank space on the back of the card, agonizing over how, exactly, you'll fill it, then A Memory Between Us postcard kit, our Project of the Day, is right up your alley. Here's a set of postcards designed for you and your traveling companion to fill out to track your unique perspective on the same trip.
Beijing underground.
The Secret Guide to Alternative Beijing is a web-based hub for travel advice on Beijing's thriving art and music underground. After successfully funding on Kickstarter this summer, the site just soft-launched today.
America from bottom to top.
Ameressence is a project documenting a year-long journey from Tierra del Fuego to Alaska, covering all 15,000 miles of the Americas.
The plan is to begin at the southern tip of Argentina and journey north, creating an illustrated story every week for a year. The project is the joint effort of a writer and a photographer, both based in Berlin, who plan to collaborate on each dispatch in words and images and publish the results in three languages.
Over the course of 2013, this adventurous duo hopes to explore the many cultures and environments of the Americas while bringing backers along for the ride. Sounds like all of the breathtaking vistas and poignant moments with none of the 17-hour bus rides!
3… 2… 1… Go.
Adrenaline junkie Josh Aldridge seems like the kind of guy who likes to do everything with his own two hands, which is why we're not surprised that he's tracking the progress of his Kickstarter campaign with paper and pen.
Aldridge is the creator of Go., an adventure travel series designed to spur inquisitive couch potatoes to get out and explore. As you can see from his chart, Go. has a ways to, er, go. But with 25 days left, a few adventurous backers each day can make the difference.
Sea to shining sea
In the last year, photographer Craig Semeko has put 40,000 miles on his car.
He's criss-crossed the country countless times, spending his days in town squares, sprawling deserts, and even underwater — all in an effort to seek and capture the diversity of the United States in a particular historical moment.
Semetko's sailed on an oyster boat in Galveston Bay, marched in the second largest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the country, and visited the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, while snapping hundreds of people, landscapes, and candid moments along the way.
The resulting images, some of which you can see above, are the jumping-off point for America: E Pluribus Unum, his current Kickstarter project. Semeko plans to stay on the road, camera in hand, until Inauguration Day this coming January 20th. We'll be watching.
You are (on) an island is a a guerrilla public art project conceptualized by Alicia Eggert and Mark Fleming. It consists of a large blue neon sign that says "You are on an island," but the word "on" blinks rhythmically on-and-off — reminding us, on occasion, that we are islands. Eerily effecting, isn't it?
Everybody's got a story to tell, and Souther and Monica are hitting the road to find 'em! Their portable art installation, The Trading Tortoise will be a place where people can bring mementos — stories, objects, pictures — to trade for other found items. They can then follow the life span of their keepsake through an online gallery, seeing what city it goes to and who trades for it, ultimately creating a cross-continental network of shared treasures. We'll do our best to help kick off the voyage by making it our Project of the Day!
