"I got some of these based on their crazy-good reputation. Even for the $6 I paid I feel ripped off. Worst pair I can remember. What in the world is everyone talking about? These are so gaudy looking, and feel cheaply put together. I could overlook those things if they sounded like everyone says. But they don't. I can't remember disliking the sound quality of an IEM this much. These are just..." --SethDove

Sunday saw the two teams go in separate direction as Reham Khan, Joe Campbell, Sarah Farmer and Tom Hepworth spent the day at West Quays Shopping Centre in Southampton and Playzone in Portsmouth, whilst Peter Henley, Laura Trant, Catharina Moh and Roger Finn took a similar approach as they visited Gun Wharf Quays in Portsmouth.
Christina Veal, Director at New Forest Ice Cream, was extremely impressed with both teams' creations:
"The standard of both teams special Pudsey ice cream was very high indeed and was unsurprisingly popular with shoppers at both locations. Who knows, we may even get some of the presenters back in to help with our flavour development process!"
To discover which team was victorious in the boardroom, and which was fired to the local café, make sure you watch South Today on the 16th, 17th and 18th November when all will be revealed.

Company Founder, Chairman and CEO Also Points Out Fundamental Flaw That May
Undermine Proposed Plans to Achieve this Objective
CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedeFile International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDFI), a company specializing in portable electronic medical records management solutions, today formally applauded U.S. Presidential hopefuls for their nearly unanimous support for the adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) to aid in reforming the U.S. healthcare system.
"For the last decade, MedeFile has been working diligently to be a part of the solution to our national healthcare crisis, a crisis driven in part by runaway costs embedded in all levels of the U.S. healthcare delivery system," stated Milton Hauser, founder, Chairman and CEO of MedeFile International. "It comes as no surprise that healthcare reform is once again a central platform issue in yet another U.S. Presidential election. However, it is very exciting and gratifying to see that the prevailing slate of candidates for both parties have acknowledged the potentially profound role that EMR solutions can play in achieving significant cost savings across the care continuum while also materially improving the quality of patient care.
"During the recent nationally televised Democratic Debate in California
between Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Clinton spoke of inaugurating
her proposed reforms for taxes and healthcare with electronic medical
records, specifically citing the 2005 study by Rand Corporation which
determined that 'America's healthcare system could save more than $81
billion annually and improve the quality of care if it were to adopt
computerized medical records.' The study, considered to be the most
detailed analysis ever conducted of the potential benefits of electronic
medical records, also noted that if IT impacted the nation's healthcare
system as much as it impacted the wholesale and retail industry -- saving

I found a possible problem in the function jd_twit_future(), although I am not sure if it forms a problem.
function jd_twit_future( $post_ID ) {
$post_ID = $post_ID->ID;
if ( $jd_tweet_this != "no" ) {
$jd_post_info = jd_post_info( $post_ID );
$sentence = '';
As you can see, the if statement checks for a variable that is not there. The if therefore always is true. It would be best to add the line
$jd_tweet_this = get_post_meta( $post_ID, '_jd_tweet_this', TRUE);
before the if.

Death, Dissection, and the Destitute
Routledge & Kegan Paul, Jan 1, 1987 - Science - 426 pages
In the early nineteenth century, body snatching was rife because the only corpses available for medical study were those of hanged murderers. With the Anatomy Act of 1832, however, the bodies of those who died destitute in workhouses were appropriated for dissection. At a time when such a procedure was regarded with fear and revulsion, the Anatomy Act effectively rendered dissection a punishment for poverty. Providing both historical and contemporary insights, Death, Dissection, and the Destitute opens rich new prospects in history and history of science. The new afterword draws important parallels between social and medical history and contemporary concerns regarding organs for transplant and human tissue for research.

Whooping cough, or pertussis, is an extremely contagious, easily preventable disease that has made its way into Ohio counties.

The Ohio Department of Health says whooping cough is one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States.
What is whooping cough?
Babies are more susceptible to the disease and often catch the ailment from a family member or caregiver, according to the ODH.
More than half of babies less than a year old who are infected by the bug must be hospitalized and about 1 in 100 babies are at risk of death from the coughing disease.
Who should be vaccinated?
Since 2007, Ohio has seen more than 650 cases of whooping cough every year, with a high of 1,858 cases in 2010.
The ODH says the best way to prevent pertussis is through vaccination. Health officials especially stress vaccination to anyone who comes in close contact with infants. There are two types of vaccines to protect against the disease – DtaP and Tdap. These two vaccines also protect against tetanus and diphtheria.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, talks about using Windows PowerShell and the Active Directory module provider to find non-default AD DS user properties.
Hey, Scripting Guy! I need to find information about users such as office location, and phone number that is not returned by the Active Directory module provider by default. How do I do this?
Hello DP,
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Today is what is officially called the calm after the storm. Massive thunderstorms ripped through Charlotte last night, knocking out power and phones. Hey, that is OK; but dude, I lost my Internet connection in the process. Major bummer. With battery backups, a generator, and what-not, I can handle bad weather—as long as it does not knock out my Internet connection. I do not have a backup ISP provider. Hey, where I live, I was lucky to get the one I have. Oh, well.
Guess what? I was just told that Windows PowerShell MVP and honorary Scripting Guy, Sean Kearney, will be presenting at Microsoft TechEd in New Orleans and in Madrid. Way to go Sean! By the way, there are two more days until the $300 discount expires.
Note This is the third in a series of blog postings about using the Active Directory module provider. The first blog is an overview called Playing with the AD: Drive for Fun and Profit. The second blog is Find Active Directory User Information with the PowerShell Provider, in which I talk about how to use the Windows PowerShell provider to find user information in Active Directory.
To create the Charlotte: PSDrive (points to the Charlotte organizational unit or OU), I ran the following commands. (Obviously, you need to change the commands to point to an OU and a domain that exist on your system.)
PS C:\> ipmo activedirectory
PS C:\> New-PSDrive -Name charlotte -PSProvider activedirectory -Root "AD:\ou=charlot
Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root
---- --------- --------- -------- ----
charlotte ActiveDire... //RootDSE/ou=charlotte,dc=ia...
PS C:\> sl charlotte:
PS charlotte:\>
I might think that to easily see all of the information associated with the Ed Wilson user, I can pipe the output to the Format-List (fl is an alias) cmdlet as shown here.
PS charlotte:\> dir | ? name -match 'ed wilson' | fl *
The command and the output associated with the command are shown in the image that follows.
The problem with this approach is that only four properties of the user return. The four default properties are DistinguishedName, Name, ObjectClass, and ObjectGUID. However, a quick look in Active Directory Users and Computers reveals that there are many more attributes and values available. This is shown here.
Due to performance reasons, the Get-ADUser cmdlet does not return all properties of a user object. It returns the following properties:
PS C:\> Get-ADUser 'cn=ed wilson,ou=charlotte,dc=iammred,dc=net' | select -expand propertynames
Therefore, if I want to access additional attributes and their associated values, I need to specifically request the attributes I desire. Unfortunately, the attribute names bear little relationship to the names that appear in Active Directory Users and Computers. The best way to find the required attributes is to use ADSI Edit. In modern versions of ADSI Edit, there is a view that shows only attributes that contain values. Consequently, it is fairly easy to match the actual name of the Active Directory attribute and the name that appears in Active Directory Users and Computers.
Note In my Windows PowerShell 3.0 Step by Step book, I have a chapter that includes screenshots that map the Active Directory Users and Computers interface to the actual AD Attribute names.
The ADSI Edit property sheet for the Ed Wilson user object is shown here.
So what is the trick to obtaining additional attributes from the user object beyond the four default properties returned by Get-Item? One approach is to use the Get-ItemProperty cmdlet. This technique is shown here where I retrieve the city (lower case L) attribute for the user.
PS charlotte:\> Get-ItemProperty -Path '.\CN=ed wilson' -Name l
l : Charlotte
PSPath : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory:://RootDSE/CN=ed
PSParentPath : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory:://RootDSE/ou=Ch
PSChildName : CN=ed wilson
PSDrive : charlotte
PSProvider : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory
I do not have to use the Get-ItemProperty cmdlet to retrieve other attributes from a user object. I can use the Get-Item cmdlet and type in an array of attributes in the Properties parameter. This technique is shown here where I add in the city (l) and the phone number (telephoneNumber) to the command.
PS charlotte:\> get-item -Path "cn=ed wilson" -Properties l, telephonenumber
PSPath : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory:://RootDSE
/cn=ed wilson,ou=charlotte,dc=iammred,dc=net
PSParentPath : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory:://RootDSE
PSChildName : cn=ed wilson
PSDrive : charlotte
PSProvider : Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management\ActiveDirectory
PSIsContainer : True
distinguishedName : cn=ed wilson,ou=charlotte,dc=iammred,dc=net
l : Charlotte
name : ed wilson
objectClass : user
objectGUID : bb10b5a2-58d7-4f8a-ab10-2ee84fc7cb58
telephoneNumber : 555-555-1212
PropertyNames : {distinguishedName, l, name, objectClass...}
AddedProperties : {}
RemovedProperties : {}
ModifiedProperties : {}
PropertyCount : 7
I can also use a wildcard character (*) to retrieve all of the attributes for my user object. The command is shown here.
PS charlotte:\> get-item -Path "cn=ed wilson" -Properties *
The command and its associated output are shown in the following image.
DP, that is all there is to using the Active Directory module provider to find information about users. Active Directory Week will continue tomorrow when I will talk about modifying user attributes.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.
Ed Wilson, Microsoft Scripting Guy
how about Get-ADUser –Filter ' name -like "*username*"' -prop *
@Tonyr that will definitely work. Thanks for sharing.
Very useful but get-aduser's Properties parameter would seem to work the same way
@Jkavanagh58 Of course it would work the same way -- my point this week is to show how to use the ActiveDirectory provider (in fact if you have Get-ADUser cmdlet you automatically have this AD: drive). The cool thing about Windows PowerShell is that it lets you work the way that you want to do. So if you enjoy using the specialized cmdlets from the ActiveDirectory module that is fine. But my point this week is that you can also do much of the same thing by using the *item cmdlets and therefore you do not need to learn any new cmdlets if you do not want to do so. It is all about choices and you can therefore work the way it is most natural for you to do so.
Confusing article, you start off talking about Get-ADUser, then digress to Get-Item and Get-ItemProperty
It's only confusing if you don't read the article properly
Very helpful article. Nice to know how to use the base PowerShell cmdlets out of the box. Especially when there is a freeze in deployments to our production boxes and cannot install the AD cmdlets!
I was able to review the status of many users looking at the LastLogonTimestamp attribute, but I have found one user (who is an active user, and has been for many years) where there is no LastLogonTimestamp value for them. Any idea what might be causing that?
Found a blog that discusses something similarhttp://shabaztech.com/retrieving-user-properties-from-active-directory/
*all : still displays default property set. No luck in finding all 300 some user attributes.

In April, sanofi-aventis and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the Phase III VELOUR trial evaluating the investigational agent ZALTRAP® (aflibercept) in combination with the FOLFIRI chemotherapy regimen (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan) versus a regimen of FOLFIRI plus placebo met its primary endpoint of improving overall survival in the second-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. The full study results will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
In addition to VITAL and VELOUR, the program includes one Phase III trial and one Phase II trial, all of which are fully enrolled. An interim analysis of the VENICE Phase III study evaluating aflibercept as a first-line treatment for hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer in combination with docetaxel and prednisone is expected to be conducted by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee in mid 2011. Final results of VENICE are anticipated in 2012. Final results of the AFFIRM Phase II study, evaluating aflibercept as a first-line treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), are expected during the second half of 2011.

Download Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 and see why IE is making a big comeback.
Microsoft challenged for browser supremacy once again, with the introduction of Internet Explorer 10, its direct competitor to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Fast and responsive, IE 10 was designed for Windows 8 (with a Metro UI) and the browser includes an auto-update function, built-in Adobe Flash Player, improved privacy tools for safer web browsing and a Flip Ahead feature that enables easier article reading.
In fact, the improved speed of Internet Explorer 10 is clear: on our test system, it finished SunSpider Benchmark tasks in an average of 153.2 milliseconds.
On the same computer, Internet Explorer 9 took 221.1 milliseconds longer. The same can be seen in the all-around test Peace Keeper: here, Internet Explorer 10 achieved 1,875 points, compared to its predecessor's 1,613 points.
Please note: Internet Explorer 10 will overwrite previously installed versions of IE on your computer.

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hobgirl79 Perfect Amount of Sticky and Supprt in Yoga Mat Love this mat! After using cheaper mats at my local YMCA, I was ready for a permanent upgrade. Some reviewers said it smelled strongly, but the natural rubber smell was minimal. I read it wasn't sticky enough and needed to be seasoned first, I found it felt it was the perfect amount of sticky with support. My knees and feet felt supported and the vibrant purple color was estetically pleasing to the senses! Lucky for me, I was able to get a 10% military discount off my final purchase price of $80. September 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Emma Yoga Mat Great mat - nice and big - great color. A bit slippery until gets broken in. August 19, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by D Great quality mat but too slippery had to return Great mat but too slippery had to return. It is very unfortunate I was very excited to get this mat but could not even use it due to the film that is left behind from manufacturing. I tried to use rocksalt and leave in the sun as directed by the manufacturer but it was still too slippery. For the price of the mat I should not have to do hard labor to break it in. I ended up with the Lululemon Mat and I absolutely love it. There is no slipping and works great for hot yoga too. August 1, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Susan2072 Looks great, but........ Received the mat two weeks ago and it is still on the floor in the living room being treated daily with Renew and a salt treatment. I took it once to practice and it felt sticky, slippery and wet. Other yogis I spoke to experienced the same thing and ended up buying another mat. I'm still using my old $35.00 dollar mat of two years while this $80.00 mat continues to lay on the living room floor. I wish I had purchased a different mat and would not recommend the Manduka mat to anyone. April 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Worts Great Yoga Mat You have to work at slipping on this mat. It is comfortable on a hard floor especially when kneeling. The density helps with balance. April 17, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by yogagirl1 Not the one I was looking for Ended up returning after unrolling and determining that this mat is not very long. My other cheaper yoga mat was longer and my yogitoes towel was nearly longer than this Manduka mat. Otherwise it is a fine mat. March 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dmjocek This product is great for my practice! I was looking for a mat that was longer in length because I am tall. I also wanted one that had good grip and padding, this mat fit both of those as well! It was a bit slippery the first few times but the more I practiced on it the less slick it became. Love this mat! January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Alicia Fantastic Mat!!! I bought my mat a few days ago. It was slippery the first time I used it. My husband did the sea salt scrub and it has been amazing ever since. We will be doing another salt scrub because I had a slight amount of slippage on it today. I would never go back to using my cheapo walmart mat. It's grippy with just a bit of stickiness to it, but not too sticky. I love it! August 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by marta25 So Happy I finally I found The Mat!! So Happy I finally I found The Mat after trying quite a few prior to this one. It does not smell; very comfortable; slip resistant; extremely durable quality and very easy to maintain. It feels and looks (after one month use) like it will last forever -looks like new today: it is important to me because I practice every style of Yoga 7 days a week for last 15 years. I did a light wash with drop of vinegar and water prior to my first use and clean it with spray offered at the yoga studio every day after my practice. I highly recommend this mat!! April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by you don't choos your nickname I like it but it's a bit pricey This mat is a better fit for me than the slimmer version that I returned. I'm 190 lb. guy and the slim version works great for my 120# gf but that little bit of extra padding is nice for me. I wish they had it available in a different color. Turquoise is a little more feminine than I like to roll around with.... March 26, 2014

I love this cream! So much so that I don't want to miss a drop, so how frustrating trying to open it, only to have a quarter of it squirt out the back of the syringe.
Now, I understand the syringe - at this price I want to be sure to get every bit out of the container, but I want do-overs with my test syringe!
It was such a mess and hard to use due to the syringe! Maybe I recieved a faulty one, but I could not get the lotion thru the syringe and it all squirted out the sides! And, yes, I did follow the directions of piercing the tip. On the good side, the lotion was nice, but not worth me purchasing. Did not stand out to me.2
I received this in a birchbox as was really impressed with it. I actually enjoyed the packaging - it allows you to carefully dispense how much product you want without waste, and ensures you get every last drop when you run out. I appreciated that the sample size was large enough to determine its effectiveness, and will definitely be purchasing this in the future.4

Persepolis (edition 2003)
by Marjane Satrapi
Depressing and kind of terrifying, but very good.
see persepolis 2
Persepolis is a memoir of a girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, she saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime and the devastation that war brings.
This graphic novel highlights issues that most young readers probably are not exposed to until maybe high school. The Islamic revolution told through this lens gives it a very authentic feel that we don't often see in Western society. You get to see brutally at times, how much a culture can shift during someones lifetime and change how society functions. This is definitely something that young readers don't understand about other cultures, and I think its beneficial for them to learn about it, they may have peers who are from these areas, etc.
Marjane Satrapi uses her own personal experiences to give readers insight into an important part of world history—The Islamic Revolution. The memoir provides clear, striking images of a painful time in Marjane's life. Although it is fictionalized, the reality of her story cannot be denied. It can be compared to the famous Pulitzer Prize winning Maus. Like Art Spiegalman's graphic novel about the holocaust, Persepolis provides an awareness of a difficult time in our world's history.
Satrapi tells the autobiographical tale of Marji, who is ten years old at the beginning of the novel during the years of the Islamic Revolution. Marji struggles with the realities of war, wearing a veil among other mandates, and trying to understand such harsh reality at such a young age. Marji tries to come to terms with the conditions of her country, but ultimately struggles and feels a sense of rebelliousness. Although her parents are very liberal, they feared for Marji's safety at such a perilous time.
In this novel, readers will discover a bitter part of history, the loss of innocence of a young girl, the harsh reality of war, the difference of cultures, as well as feel a deep connection with a child who experienced a very unique childhood. This is not only an excellent coming of age story, it has a variety of themes to discuss, and the context gives readers a primary account into a piece of history. Class discussions can vary from themes of loss of innocence to cultural identity to social class. In addition, readers can clearly see the development of the protagonist and sympathize and connect with her. The novel is rich in both history and literary development, and the illustrations add a brilliant piece that will appeal to young adults.
Author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi's memoir of growing up in Iran begins in 1980, when she is just ten years old. After the fall of the Shah, her affluent family finds that their privileged, Westernized lifestyle is no longer sustainable. The Ayatollah's standard bearers of Islamic theocracy are in charge, and they are watching everyone for any deviation from acceptable dress, behavior, or attitude. Those who run afoul of the government's dictates risk imprisonment, torture, and even execution.
The chief pleasure of this book is in its illustrations. Satrapi's childlike but incisive drawings effectively capture both the innocence of childhood and the harshness of life under a repressive regime. Her affection for her parents and grandmother is particularly evident. In the space of a few pages this book manages to go from funny, to heartbreaking, to tender, and back again, without ever seeming manipulative or forced. I highly recommend this book.
Cartoon novel, easy to read, surprisingly, told first person by a little girl in Iran and the changes in regime from bad to worse, the Shah to Kohlmeni. We watched the movie, Persepolis, at the Chapin Library, "Muslim Journeys" talks.
I'll be honest, I didn't find the writing overly spectacular or groundbreaking. I wasn't wowed by the artistry or the uniqueness of the text. However, I was fascinated from beginning to end. She was raised in Iran, a country I really know very, very little about (and most of what I "know" is probably wrong), but I loved to see the same types of experiences that I had or that my friends had were still the same to what she experienced, despite very different backgrounds and very, very different types of trials in our lives. I thought the artwork did wonders for the text, it brought to life what otherwise could have been some very bland explanations. It was interesting from beginning to end. Definitely worth the read.
Often thought about using this graphic novel while teaching Contemporary History and/or the culture of Islam, but time constraints have often deterred me from using this graphic novel. Check out this blog post from Teaching Tolerance, http://www.tolerance.org/blog/persepolis-classroom-led-understanding and this lesson plan, http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/pictures-tell-sto..., from ReadWriteThink.org.
A very cool graphic novel autobiography. It's painful and funny to read, to watch the Marjane Satrapi grow up and go through different stages during the war.
Persepolis is a graphic novel about a young girl, Marjane, growing up during Iran's Islamic Revolution. It is a true story! Marjane wants to end the war because she doesn't want anymore people to die or any more of her town to be destroyed.
Marjane was very brave! For example, she wanted to wear western style clothes but the Shah's regime said women must wear burkas. She wore her high tops and jean jacket anyways even though that almost got her killed!
This book may look like a fun comic book but it is actually very serious. It shows acts of violence such as whippings and torture and repression such as the government mandating what you must wear and how you are allowed to wear your hair that demonstrate the human cost of war. However, it also shows the resiliency of the human spirit. A resiliency we all carry with us. For example, the ability to laugh through our tears in this case at the absurdity of war.
I enjoyed Persepolis and learned a great deal about events that happened when I was but a child myself. Marjane manages to capture the humanity of her friends and family in the middle of chaotic times. While the subject matter and presentation are very similar to the Maus books by Spiegelman, I think that Persepolis is more effective in its story telling because the people are left people for the good and the bad.
Okay, so it's a graphic novel. But a) it's quite good, and b) I'm going to more than make up for any possible "lack of weightiness" by the end of this year, I promise. I've seen excerpts from this book pretty much everywhere, it seems like it was one of the most buzzed about graphic novels from last year. I exchanged a duplicate gift for it in Colorado Springs over the holidays and read it on the way home. I recommend it highly. If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard anything about this book, it's an autobiographical account of growing up as a girl in Iran -- her experiences during the revolution and after which when Islamic leaders took over the country, and the beginning of the war with Iraq. Supposedly there is a sequel in the works?
I'm still not a fan of graphic novels, but this one was well done. I had heard great reviews and so decided to try it. The format helps to lighten the really tragic story. I'm not sure I could have stuck with this in a regular print book. The graphics were a break to the dark and heavy tale. I'm glad I read it. I learned something.
This review (with pictures!) and others posted over at my blog
Persepolis is a memoir turned graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi about her life growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq. From the back of the book: "The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country."
What I liked:
Generally I don't read memoirs – probably I've never read one – but I am all about graphic novels and that's the element that really drew me with this book, as well as the lovely cover design. I don't often find myself reading anything politically charged either, and reading how Marjane grew up through the comic medium was a new experience. Marjane covers her life from years six to fourteen and I enjoyed her perspective and outlook. It was childish at times, yet still very intelligent. The artwork is simple and powerful and oftentimes Marjane's day dreams or fantasies mix with her panels about real life, creating something really fantastic. I also appreciated the way Marjane handled the politics and religion in her life – it wasn't overbearing on the reader and I didn't feel like she was trying to force opinions on me. I also love the overall style of the illustrations.
What I didn't like:
The ending! This book is only 150 pages and feels very much like one volume of a comic series, rather than a stand alone novel. I was disappointed with the cliffhanger ending – I wanted more! I know there's a second book and I plan to get my hands on it, but I wish this book didn't feel incomplete. When I purchased this book, I didn't realize there was a sequel and had I known I would have waited and read them back to back.
This book was funny, poignant and intelligently written and I can't wait to read Persepolis 2 as well as more of Satrapi's work!
I first read this book/autobiography in high school my sophomore year, and even then I was really intrigued by the graphic novel/ comic book style of the book. The book takes place in 1980's Iran in the heat of religious turmoil in the country. The main character, Marji is growing up in all the turmoil and her passion for social activism leads her away from Iran only to eventually return. The book has a lot of first hand information about the religious uprising in Iran, and what life was like for those who were opposed to the religious regime. I really think this book has a lot to offer in terms of the study of social activism and the country of Iran. The black and white comic book pictures in the book really add an elements of drama of the story and make the book easier to read and follow. I really enjoyed reading this book, the autobiographical nature makes the character development extremely strong and overall I found it was a good read.
Liked it, very informative.. But a bit dull
I loved the book. It told me a lot about a country that I discovered I knew next to nothing about. I love the simple, powerful drawings, too. This is a story that will remain with me for a while.
I think this book is significant for what might be infinite reasons, but I will just name a few of my favorite. First and foremost, I love that it is a story of Marji's youth, it is really important, especially in non-fiction, to show our students characters that could be them. Second, I love that it is a memoir in the format of a graphic novel. You are really taken into the story, it is easy to read, but it is still a pivotal text. Lastly, the portrayal of a real world outside our own is an indispensable lesson.
Review coming soon.
Persepolis chronicles the author's childhood, growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq. Her parents were Marxists, so Satrapi watched her parents go off to protest and wanted to become involved herself fairly young. She also learned, while she was young, some of the consequences of protesting and resisting (imprisonment, murder, execution).
This was my first graphic novel and I really liked it. I really liked the story and I surprised myself a bit by quite enjoying the graphic novel presentation of it. She moved quickly from event to the event, and part of that may be because it's a graphic novel...because the images are there, she doesn't need to write as much description. This made the story move along very quickly, so it kept my interest the entire time. I will definitely be reading Persepolis 2.
There are many things that could be said about this book. I was having a hard time figuring out whether I was going to like it or not at first. But that was before I actually opened it up and began reading it. After I crossed the threshold and just delved right into the writing, it took two or three pages and I was fully immersed. This is a graphic novel that doesn't have much to say for itself in relation to the art-style, though I could endeavor to explain it, but its main character, who is writing Persepolis as an autobiography, is the driving force behind this entire story--her story.
It's her childhood, written about growing up in Iran, going through the revolutions and the wars that soon after the 1980s began to ravage the region, and what it did to its people there. This is a story that very often I wouldn't turn an inch for or spare a second glance to, and yet perhaps it's because it was in the form of a graphic novel that I was able to sit down and allow myself to entertain a subject so normally distant from my interests. Not that I'm not a follower of politics, but that for the most part, I enjoy taking breaks from reality with what I read. It's a preference I've mentioned a handful of times before in some of my reviews.
But Persepolis was different, in almost every aspect. Yes, it had the political and cultural aspects of Iran unfolded page by page for me to understand. But it was a tale of experiences gone through by a child as it grew up surrounded by things it understood, and how those natural and normal everyday privileges, occurrences, and freedoms were slowly infringed upon and taken away. It's intriguing and moving, it speaks to you like a book right out of the Dystopian genre, and yet it's shockingly, veritably real. And that's what brings its value and its momentous impacting force directly to its readers. Nothing about it sounds like anything I'd want to read about for fun or even for the experience. But that's the surprise--that's the clincher: it is an experience, and one that absolutely should be taken up by anybody. Though we don't understand everything perhaps, though we may have preconceptions about "the Middle East" or "Iran" and so forth, this is one of those masterful pieces of literature that gives us a deeply empathetic look into the reality of things and how they steadily unfolded into many of the events that are still driving us and affecting us today on an everyday basis, whether we realize it or not.
It's something of a wonder to me too, who was still young when we had 9/11 happen here in the U.S., to read about how even in the Middle East, in Iran as Marjane Satrapi unfolds for us, things are so far from what we knew.... Scariest part, is she had started writing this way before 9/11 happened. And it was published here in the U.S. just barely a year after the terrible day. I wish as a kid, and even more, as a teenager, and now--ten years later--that I had been given a chance to pick up a book like this. To be able to sit down and read something where I could understand and empathize with these peoples across the globe who were suddenly thrown into stark and stereotyped perspectives for me. I wish I had Persepolis to show me that these peoples were the victims of their own governments, and they suffered terribly too. Because even though I'm no fool and do not hate a people--or hate a country, or a culture, or a religion, or what have you--simply because of what a select group of people in a population carried out against the United States... it would still have been wonderful, and a relief to my soul, to know that propaganda did not have the greatest impact. That I could reach out onto my bookshelf and find a soul like my own, who had gone through things so, so, so much worse than I had, even though my life could have been completely desecrated by the events of 9/11....
*Pauses to hold back the tears as best as possible*
...9/11 was an immensely personal occurrence for me, and I will never forget that day as long as I live. For your benefit, my Readers, I was in that wider group of peoples that was near New York City the day it happened. And it will forever be a hugely personal part of my life.
...it brings me relief, and a type of closure that I found hard to find anywhere else, to read Satrapi's book, and to know that here, here I had someone who I could hold close to my heart, who I could empathize with, whose experiences I could share and relate to, and support. ...that was a tremendous gift. And even though this is a very, very new piece of literature, not having been out in the U.S. for even ten years now, it's a wonderful piece that should absolutely be given a chance. Whether or not we agree with everything, whether or not I approve of all the things mentioned, I was able to truly enjoy this reading, and, always most importantly for me: to understand it.
Marjane Satrapi did her people, her country, and us a great thing by giving us her experiences firsthand like this. Although there are three other volumes I believe written after this one, I treat this volume, at least, as a gift. I'm truly glad I invested in it, and I hope my feelings will be found to be echoed. Like I said, I don't agree with all the things written there. I'm a very politically minded person, but... I appreciate this work, and I think many others would really enjoy it as well if they gave it a shot. So Readers, give this one a chance! It's really worth the time, and I think you'll come out a little more enriched for the experience it gives you.
I'm not generally a fan of graphic novels, but as I was using the book in a display of Outstanding Books for the College Bound (ALA), I decided to read it. I have to say I found it moving, and the simple illustrations conveyed the child's perspective on some pretty horrific events. I think I'm going to read Part 2.
I thought that these illustrations went perfectly with the book and can be used at the middle school level.
The child view clearly highlights the tragedy of religion, and power. Yet gives hope in some life amongst the turmoil.
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
by Marjane Satrapi
Published on 2012 by Pantheon
Marjane Satrapi recounts her childhood in Iran during a fourteen year period that included the overthrow of the Shah, the Islamic Revolution (1979) and the war with Iraq (1980-88.) Politically savvy by virtue of being related to an imperial line and the daughter of Marxists, Marjane Satrapi tells her story through intense black-and-white panels with a highly stylized look nearly abstract in form. Readers unfamiliar with Middle Eastern history may need help to put things in context (google is your friend) but it's worth the effort. The story is powerful both for it's brutal telling and for it's emotional punch. I cringed at her friends and families' bewilderment at the Iraqis' sudden upgrade in missile ordinance and was actually surprised that there were no recriminating fingers pointed at the U.S. for its military aid to the Iraqis at this time. Still, Persepolis is an amazing work of reportage, memoir and art.

The built-in gasket where the regulator connects to the CO2 tank, eliminates the constant replacement of fiber washers every time you change out your tank. The one way valve keeps beer from flowing back into the regulator when a keg happens to have more pressure than your regulator is pushing. Grey hand dial is easily turned to adjust pressure without the need for a screw driver. Optional available gauge cage is the best on the market. Low Pressure gauge reads from 0 to 60 psi. Built by Taprite, an American company.
General Regulator Information
A regulator controls the flow of CO2 gas that is under pressure. To ensure proper operation, please make sure that when in use your CO2 tank and regulator remain in an upright position. Do not physically modify the regulator in any way.
Regulators work best at room temperature. If you use your regulator in the cold it will take up to 4 hours for the adjustment to register. For example: If you are at 10 PSI and you change the pressure to 12 PSI the regulator will move to 14 or 15 PSI over the next 4 hours. Once you have found the correct pressure the regulator will work perfectly fine but it will take some trial and error to get it adjusted.
More Tips & Tricks:
1. Are you out of CO2? When the needle reads half way in the red you are about 10% full. You should be able to push another 2-3gallons of beer when your at this amount of remaining gas.
2. What is an ideal serving pressure? For most beers a pressure set at 10-12PSI is the sweet spot. Your beer has to be stored cold from 34-40F for this pressure to work properly.
3. Is your beer serving a lot of foam? Don't panic this is not hard to fix. Your beer line must be 5-8 feet in length for this to work. Turn the black check valve to the close position (as pictured). Release the pressure from your keg's relief valve. Lower the pressure to 6-8psi by turning the flat head screw on the front of the regulator counter clock wise. Open the black check valve releasing CO2 to your keg. Try serving your beer.
4. Is my beer over carbonated? Any beer that is stored under pressure above 12psi will become overcarbonated. If you're trying to speed up the process to carbonate your beer by raising your pressure anywhere from 15-20psi make sure you don't leave your beer at this pressure for more than 2-3 days. If you did this you will need to release all the pressure from the keg before serving and set your serving pressure at 4-6psi depending the carbonation of your beer. After a week you will have to raise your pressure back to the optimum 10-12psi serving pressure.

Outstanding and a big hit! I followed others' suggestions by substituting coconut for whole milk but otherwise followed the recipe. Everyone loved it and will certainly make again.flag if inappropriate
I have been making this pie for years at every holiday by special request from extended family. I often cheat and use store bought crust but the rest I make exactly as it's written. Be careful when simmering/thickening the pastry cream not to burn it -- turns from not done to burnt very quickly so stir, stir, stir, especially around the bottom rim of the pot. I often make it a day or two ahead and carefully cover so as not to ruin the presentation of the pie. Absolutely delicious!flag if inappropriate
Excellent! Used own traditional pie crust recipe & followed reviewer's advice on subbing coconut milk for filling. I also added dark chocolate shavings along with the browned coconut on top - which added some nice flavor & also a nice crunch to the texture. I did not read the recipe thoroughly prior to prepping & got ready to make it a few hours before. Next time I will give myself sufficient time so I'm not rushing it, but with the help of the freezer & some creative cooling, it still came out delicious in a much shortened prep time frame.flag if inappropriate
I used my own pie crust recipe, but this was a very good recipe.flag if inappropriate
This was a HUGE hit! I followed the reviews and used unsweetened, canned coconut milk instead of whole milk. It had a delicious, rich taste and amazing textures. I am not a traditional pie crust person so I made my own vanilla wafer/coconut crust instead and the pairing was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.flag if inappropriate
I made this today, and it was lovely. I did make a couple of changes--I used my own pie crust recipe and subbed in lite coconut milk, as others have suggested, for regular milk in the custard. Also, once I had chilled the custard, it looked very thick and dense, so I decided to lighten its texture a bit. Instead of whipping 1 1/4 cups of cream, I whipped 2 cups of cream (with about 2 1/2 Tbs sugar and the extracts). Then I folded in about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the pastry cream mixture, and used the remaining to top the pie. The texture was perfect, although it was a bit hard to cut the pie into neat pieces!flag if inappropriate
I made this for my husband's birthday and it was DELICIOUS! This was my first time making a coconut cream pie & I will definitely be making it again!!flag if inappropriate
I made this for 4th of July. It was well received. Like others, I substituted coconut milk for the regular milk. I personally found it a bit too sweet. I might try it again with unsweetened coconut or a mix of the two types. I also used my own pecan nut crust. If anything, that really made the pie because there was a salty/sweet/nutty thing going on.flag if inappropriate
I use my own crust recipe, and substitute coconut milk for the regular milk in this recipe. It is beyond fantastic.flag if inappropriate
My husband and I just returned from Turks and Caicos where we had the most amazing coconut cream pie. This recipe is pretty close. I followed it "as is," but will double the filling next time. I also used a high quality frozen pie crust... the crust in the recipe didn't seem to be anything special. The pie really was delicious and so easy to make. Enjoy!flag if inappropriate

yea i did that for my xbox, my halo 1 was destroyed from scratches so i got it modded to ONLY store the games i owned, (i bought a new copy of halo 1 and has only hit the xbox once). i agree with the LEGAL side of mod chips as it is more an insurance on the safety of your games. however i am against the illegal sides as it can ruin gaming industries and that would be very bad.
back onto subject------ i think i want to create the wii60 or the pswii by "putting" it in the case which means warranty would not be void. i could make up a few things to link the buttons to one another and get the disc thing to line up. so there would be no need to remove the case.
what do you guys think?

Boston Business Journal recently released this year's list of the
best places to work. And I'm happy to announce that Carbonite made
the list! There were over 400 companies nominated for this honor and the
list of the top 60 companies was determined based partly on employee
surveys. Carbonite and the other 19 midsized companies will be ranked
in order and then honored at a breakfast event on June 11th at the
Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center.
I can't tell you how
pleased I am that Carbonite has received this honor. There are a lot of
smart, hard-working and innovative people who have helped make Carbonite
a tremendous success. Our rapid growth as a company has challenged our
employees and given them opportunities to do things they've never done
before. They've risen to the occasion time and time again and I am very
proud of the things they've accomplished. It feels good to know that
they enjoy working for Carbonite and take pride in this company. Every
employee we have contributes to making Carbonite one of the best places
to work in Boston.

BOSTON — The newest Boston Celtic, Joel Anthony, is a bit of a mystery to fans around here.
He has spent his entire career with the Miami Heat, doesn't score much but is known primarily for his defense.
However, Kelly Olynyk and Anthony have a long history dating back to their time in the pipeline of the Canadian National team.
"He's a great guy; a real team guy," Olynyk, who is from Toronto, told CSNNE.com. "He loves the game. He's a professional, taught me a lot growing up, how to play the game the right way, how to be a professional, taking care of your body, that kind of stuff."
What has always stuck out to Olynyk about Anthony, who is from Montreal, has been Anthony's work ethic.
"He's not an overly talented guy by any means," Olynyk said of Anthony. "He had to work hard to get where he is. That's always a good trait to have in your back pocket as well."
Although Anthony has played seven NBA seasons in the NBA, his path to the NBA has been far from a smooth one.
Undrafted out of UNLV in 2007, Anthony parlayed a series of one-year deals with the Heat into a five-year, $18 million contract in 2010.
Although he never played major minutes for Miami, Anthony established himself as a solid defender and shot-blocker.
His best season with the Heat was the 2011-2012 season when he made 51 starts while playing 21.1 minutes per game.
And now that he's a Celtic, Olynyk believes he'll be a solid teammate as well.
"Not only for me but for the team," Olynyk said. "His role in Miami hasn't been huge. But I don't think he's been a detriment to that team at all. He's just a real solid player and a good guy to have on your team."
Olynyk: Anthony 'a great guy; a real team guy'

Today, however, one game slipped through the cracks, and it's not an insignificant one either. A Virtual Console listing for Michael Jackson's Moonwalker has appeared, making it seem like one of the games..

Would you like to see the Steelers hire him to be our DC?
Would you like to see the Steelers hire him to be our DC?
yup. bring in someone fresh.
He won't be fired, and the Steelers would never bring him in, and I don't like him nor do I think he is half as good as his brother or his Dad, I say no.
I don't have a problem with promoting from within. If Keith Butler gets promoted, then he'll have the freedom to tailor the defense his way. Dom Capers was taught by Dick LeBeau too, but does he run his defense the same way? No.
Pittsburgh, PA: City of Champions.
Half as good as his brother?
Seriously? Prior to this year, have you watched the Cowboys defense?
Rex may have too big of a personality to suit the Steelers.
I really don't want Rex to be fired. There's nothing quite like seeing one's chief divisional rival with a totally dysfunctional front office and coaching staff, and a steadily regressing talent level among the players.
Reminds me of the Browns vis-a-vis the Steelers.
If Rex Ryan were the D.C., then we'd have to release Larry Foote (too distracting for the big fella and his fetish).

I commute on a pretty sketchy highway. Today, it was pissing down rain and it was pre-dawn gloom. A friend from work passed me and tooted his horn so I knew it was him.
When I got to work, he said that yes, I was visible but not terribly noticeable. In other words, my Superflash and blinky taillights don't pack enough punch to make me stand out from the car taillights and roadside reflectors.
So that's it...all bets are off. It's time to solve this once and for all.
I just got my DiNotte 200L headlamp yesterday and wore it for the first time today. So what I'm thinking of doing is taking my Planet Bike Blaze 1W handlebar light and putting some kind of red filter on it and mounting it to my rear rack. Everyone agrees that light is obnoxious and painful to look at so it should do the trick as a rear light.
What do you think?

Intensive management was aimed at lowering hemoglobin A1C levels (HbA1C) to less than 6.05 percent. HbA1C is a long-term (about two to three months) measurement of blood sugar levels, and levels below 6.05 percent are similar to levels for people who don't have diabetes. Lower numbers generally translate into a lower risk of serious complications.
The DCCT lasted for 6.5 years, and the EDIC trial is an observational study that has followed the health of 1,375 participants since the DCCT ended. EDIC currently has 16 years of follow-up data.
During the DCCT, people in the intensive management group averaged an HbA1C of 7.3, while the conventional group had an HbA1C average of 9.1 percent. During EDIC, both groups had HbA1Cs around 8 percent, according to de Boer.
The current analysis looked specifically at the glomerular filtration rate, which is a measure of how well kidneys function.
The researchers found that 24 people in the intensive therapy group developed an impaired GFR, compared with 46 people in the conventional therapy group.
"That's a risk reduction of 50 percent," said de Boer.
The risk of end-stage renal disease in the intensive therapy group was also half that of the conventional therapy group -- eight people versus 16.
"Getting good glucose control up front in the disease course provides benefits immediately and in preventing complications for years to come," de Boer said. "The longer you're able to maintain good glucose control, the more benefit you're likely to derive."
