Decemberists announce first headlining show since 2011
Listen to The Decemberists on iHeartRadio
The Decemberists are returning to the stage. The folk-rockers will play their first concert since 2011 in May, and they're coming back for a good reason.
The gig -- dubbed "V Is for Victory" -- will serve as a benefit concert raising funds for an Oregon school for autistic students. The Decemberists says they plan to play their 2002 debut album Castaways and Cutouts in full, as well as a few other "sentimental favorites." T
he concert will take place May 30th in Portland, Oregon, with tickets set to go on sale this Friday via CascadeTickets.com.
Proceeds will help fund the new Victory Academy, which is the first-ever K through 12 accredited school for children affected by autism. It's currently being built on a four-acre horse farm outside of a Portland suburb.

Crack cocaine is such a horrible insidious substance. It
goes way past just an addiction to just another drug.
Treatment help for a crack addict in addiction is typically
based on the disease concept. Not being able to stop smoking
crack cocaine is not a disease and nowhere is there any data
to support that. The theory of crack addiction being a
disease does not come close to the possession of your soul
and spirit when you smoke crack cocaine. If you have never
smoked crack cocaine, then there will be no way of you
understanding that fact and possibly not knowing where to go
for help. If you have smoked crack cocaine and still think
you are simply an addict with an "addiction disease",
chances are you're still looking for your answer, or a way
to help yourself stop the madness of smoking crack cocaine
and having a crack addiction and being an addict, by simply
reading this proves that point.
The effects of crack cocaine can be felt throughout the
family structure. Snorting cocaine has become a thing of the
past, though still used. The facts and statistic found about
crack cocaine recovery is very disturbing and seems
hopeless. A person can quit smoking crack forever with the
right program. All you need to learn about crack and cocaine
addiction treatment can be found throughout our website.

Crack cocaine has to more than addiction. It must be some
type of other force that would drive normal people to such
insane behavior, all from some rock candy?

Crack Cocaine must be the devilscandy...it can be nothing else!
CLICK HERE and find out why?
From devilscandy.com with permission: Once upon a time there was a crack in my life, crack cocaine that is. My crystal rock of cooked powder coke was placed in a pipe to send the contaminating smoke inside my body to converse with my soul and spirit. The proposition was to possess all of my character and moral values. I could not pass this up. I craved the rush that cannot be described and is beyond normal human comprehension. The craving for this drug has such a euphoric possession it goes past boundaries set by natural laws for living, and living crack free forever while being in complete contrast with each other, euphoria or possession.
The anxiety during the chase to get just a small piece of crack is insane and so intense, followed by depression so deep you could kill. I know of not one treatment center or method of help for an addict with this addiction that addresses anywhere near the description of the crack high that all programs that say they can help and have knowledge of but refuse to be the new and alternative or out of the ordinary go against the conventional insurance backed facilities that depend on failure to overcome this substance that must be from the enemy. It is written that the fallen angel has a first name of Lucifer or simply put - the enemy.
Smoking crack cocaine allows your body, soul and spirit to become contaminated and then possessed by the enemy which is more than just an addiction. Treatment programs that aim only at recovery, meetings, rehab, groups and addiction only, do not fully address the spiritual contamination and possession that does occur when we have an addiction to smoking rocks of cooked coke, called the Devils Candy!
*The poem below was emailed to us. We
do not know the author but thank you to who ever wrote it
because it is so true!
My Name is Crack
I destroy homes....... I tear families apart.
I take your children......and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold.
The sorrow I bring, is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember, I'm easily found...
I live all around you...in schools and in town.
I live with the rich...I live with the poor...
I live down the street...maybe even next door!
I am made in such ways...you can shoot me or smoke...
I used to be called "cocaine...or coke"
The sound that I make, when you're inhaling my stench...
Is how my name "Crack" came to be...(perfect sense)
My power is awesome; try me, you'll see...
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once, and I may let you go...
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When "I" possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.
You'll do what you have to, just to get "high".
The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms...
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms, lungs
and nose.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.....
When you see their tears, ...you should feel sad.
But you will forget your morals...and how you were
I'll be your "conscience"...I'll teach you "my ways".
I'll take kids from parents, and parents from kids.
I turn people from "GOD".....and separate friends.
I'll take everything from you, ...your looks and your pride.
I'll be with you ALWAYS.......right by your side.
You'll give up everything...your family, your home....
your friends,.... your money....then you'll be all alone.
I'll take & take, till you have nothing more to give...
When I'm finished with you....you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me, be warned........this is no "game"...
If given the chance....I'll drive you insane!
I'll ravish your body...I'll control your mind..
I'll own you "completely"....your "soul" will be mine!
The nightmares I'll give you, while lying in bed...
The voices you'll hear.....from inside your head...
The sweats, the shakes...the "visions" you'll see...
I want you to know...these are ALL "gifts from me".
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart..
That you are MINE.....and we shall not part....
You'll regret that you tried me...they always do...
But YOU came to ME...Not "I" to you......
You knew this would happen,...many times you were told...
But you challenged my "power"...and chose to be "bold".
You could have said "no".....and just walked away...
If you could live that day over...now what would you say?
I'll be your "Master".....and you'll be my slave...
I'll even go with you...when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me...what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you....
I can bring you more misery than words can tell...
Come take my hand....let me lead you to HELL!
We frequently like to go over signs and symptoms of crack
cocaine use. We do this to remind you of what to look for.
Crack is cocaine cooked in baking soda and water to form a
chunk like piece and then broken in tooth size pieces and is
kind of an off white color. The name crack comes from the sound
it makes when lit. Crack came about in the early 1970's by
American dealers by chance. They had placed some cocaine on tin
foil and burned it to test its purity. Then they discovered
sniffing the vapors was quite an intense high and the birth of
freebasing cocaine was born. From being cooked in baking soda
and being so small yet so potently devastating to all life
allowed for easy transportation, packing and selling of this
horrible drug. The simplicity and abundance of crack cocaine
lead to extreme use and lots of money for crack-punk dealers.
The first thing to look for is his or her pupils will
be huge and glassy.
Then profuse sweating, drastic weight loss, sensitivity to
light and sound, very hyper and does not sleep then followed by
complete exhaustion, not eating then eating like crazy, sexual
dysfunction, extreme sexual fantasy but cannot follow through,
dramatic mood changes, extreme self-confidence, anger,
depression, paranoid, suicide thinking, unable to hold a job,
intense arguing, very chatty, financial and legal problems, not
paying bills, no food in the house, not a penny to their name
and are very highly skilled at covering up the where's, the
who's, and the what's with denial and lies.
He or she may have burns on their lips or hands from smoking
crack and sometimes are unable to control urination and bowel
movements possibly from having an allergic reaction to the
additives in street drugs, menstrual cycle problems,
malnutrition and a ton of others that slip the mind.
In pregnancy there can be miscarriage, premature birth, low
birth weight, still birth, addicted newborn, deformities and a
number of other problems for the baby.
Other risks include: aids, hepatitis and sexual diseases are
possible from the practice of un-safe sex for crack.
Ways he or she may buy crack include: stealing, writing bad
checks, pawning anything he or she can carry, bringing pop
bottles back, pan handling, sexual favors, allowing
crack-dealers to use their car, giving rides to other
crack-users, selling crack, delivery of crack, trade food stamps
for crack, give blood for crack, rob banks and people, spend
their welfare on crack, steal others checks and forge names,
prostitution, break into cars, receive gifts and return them for
the money and lots more the list is too long for this news
The worst jobs for a crack head include: waiting tables,
cleaning houses, jobs that require traveling alone, jobs at
retail stores, driving cab or any job that deals with handling
cash and I am sure more that I am not thinking of.
Understand that crack cocaine is the devilscandy
If you want power over crack cocaine you must expose the
crack cocaine lies
Be honest with everyone and everything you do
Understand that when your family is nagging crack is
attacking them and to answer all nagging with a good attitude
Understand cracks purpose is to kill you and destroy all
those who care about you
Commit to at least 6 months of not touching any money for any reason
Commit to not handling money at all for 2 years
after the 6
months of not touching money
Except help and understand you can't fight crack cocaine on
your own. It takes a team of those willing to follow your
program, if they are not willing to participate 100% they can
not be apart of your life
Understand when your family hides their money and things of
value that it is NOT because of YOU but because they do not
trust crack and do not want crack to be allowed to torture you
with its tools…
Your job is to protect your family from crack. Crack is very
jealous of what you have. It wants your wife/girl, its wants all
your money and all of your families money, it wants your TV, it
wants your VCR, stereo, CD's anything of value you own, it wants
to destroy those who care about you, their spirit, their self
worth, their joy their happiness, it wants to suffocate your
kids and future kids and it wants your life!
Helping the person I love who is addicted and possessed by
crack cocaine.
1. I must view the person I love as a human being who wants
to stop smoking crack cocaine. Even if they say I do not want to
stop, they do.
2. I accept the fact that no one can do anything to make the
person I love stop smoking crack cocaine. They must choose what
works for them to stop smoking crack-cocaine. If one way does
not work for them, I will suggest another way.
3. I will accept all the progress however small and seemingly
insignificant it seems to me, as success. When the person I love
falls, I will allow them pick to themselves up from where they
fell, and understand that they can apply all knowledge and
progress they have obtained to continue "Their Program" for
living life crack cocaine free.
4. I will have faith in myself and the person I love. The
hardest obstacle in front of me is myself. I've heard testimony
that living life without crack cocaine is possible. My
experiences and the person I love experiences with adverse
situations will provide the strength and desire for this new

Also not to bring up androids notification system but why can't apple keep the symbol in the status bar until u clear it. But hey it's apple not android. Maybe one day.
how is if something strange? I've been an iPhone user since the first iPhone but I do have to admit apple's first interest is not the people. It's business. They are saving that feature for a future iOS and make it look like oh wow... "The best thin yet"
I never understood why there are so many concept videos and pics as Apple never do anything the public wants.
Apple just steal ideas of elsewhere then patented that idea first then sue the original creator of that idea.
Yea, so the concept pics would be nice if they were implemented into IOS but they wont ever.

text: OverviewBack to top Green Beaver - Conditioner Fresh Mint - 8.4 oz. Item# :110903UPC# :834639007082 Brand:Green Beaver Size/Form:8.40 oz. Ship Weight:0.65 Green Beaver - Conditioner Fresh Mint - 8.4 oz. (250 mL) Green Beaver Conditioner Fresh Mint contains organic Annapolis Valley apples, wild St. Lawrence Valley mint and Labrador tea that will leave your hair lustrous and shiny. Green Beaver Conditioner Fresh Mint is enriched with indigenous Canadian yarrow, willowherb and sweet fern for a healthy scalp. Green Beaver Conditioner Fresh Mint is certified organic, gluten-free, vegan and biodegradable. Why Organic?Many ingredients used in Green Beaver products are derived from plants such as carrots, cranberries and lavender. Organic refers to the way agricultural products used in these products have been grown and processed. Organic plant production maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organic plant ingredients used in Green Beaver products are processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the integrity of the ingredient and to protect your family's health. Pesticides can enter the body in many different ways – inhalation, ingestion, and direct contact with eyes or skin. Some pesticides accumulate in fatty tissue (bioaccumulation) and are endocrine disruptors. Repeated contact with even small doses of pesticides can cause build up in the body, possibly causing immune and nervous system disorders years after exposure. Because children have a habit of putting things in their mouths and because their bodies are still developing, they are at great risk of pesticide poisoning. With recent reports that some pesticides (such as atrazine) are not considered as safe as was thought in the past, we need to be more diligent to avoid them. Also, pesticides that have recently been banned could still be lurking in products that you have left over from years ago! Benefits for choosing Certified Organic Products Good for the soil: Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control. Good for the environment: Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority. Good for people: Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic ingredients. No synthetic chemicals: Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers. No GMO's: Certified Organic products are produced without GMO's, which are prohibited in the standards for organic food and farming. Did you know... 1/3 of all personal care products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human Carcinogens The average adult uses 9 personal care products daily – exposing them to 126 chemicals every day. 89% of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have not been evaluated for safety. Over the last 30 years only 9 of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have been banned or restricted. Why CERTIFIED organic?Did you know in Canada, there are no government guidelines regulating the word "organic" on personal care products? There are many products on the market claiming they are organic or claiming they contain organic ingredients. The majority of these products are NOT verified for the authenticity. Consequently, there are no guarantees that the product actually contains organic ingredients. For example, you could introduce an "organic lavender" oil in a 50ml bottle with the product containing only 1ml of certified organic lavender oil and 49ml of non-organic lavender oil. This is 100% legal but dishonest to the consumer who thinks they are buying 100% Organic! Green Beaver is a licensed certified organic manufacturer of certified organic personal care products which guarantees the organic authenticity of their product. "Certified Organic" means that Green Beaver products have been manufactured according to strict uniform standards that are verified by an internationally recognized independent organization (Ecocert). Certification includes inspections of their manufacturing facility, detailed record keeping, and periodic surprise visits to ensure that they are meeting the standards which have been set. Green Beaver certified organic and natural personal care formulas offer true benefits without the use of any potentially harmful and/or questionable ingredients or processes. They are: Non toxic Safe Environmentally friendly High quality Natural Synthetic chemical free NOT tested on animals Additionally, they only use biodegradable ingredients, recyclable containers and packaging and many Green Beaver products are Vegan.Certification is important because it helps avoid customer confusion when choosing organic skin care products. Organic certification does not limit itself to the finished product. Based on strict controls, this certification, demands respect of strict ecological standards throughout the process of formulation, production, packaging, labelling, transportation and tractability. By means of the NATURAL AND ORGANIC COSMETICS standards, Ecocert defines a requirement level that is superior to the conventional regulation governing cosmetics, thereby guaranteeing the genuine practice of environmental respect throughout the production line, respect for the consumer and the promotion of natural substances of a superior ecological quality. In short, "certified organic" means "guaranteed"! About Green BeaverGreen Beaver was started by Karen Clark and her husband Alain Ménard. Their son, Joshua, gave them the inspiration to develop safe, natural personal care products. Like most babies, Joshua was always drinking the bubbles in his bath water. With both of their science degrees and their years working in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, Karen and Alain had well-founded concerns about the chemicals used in personal care products. When they started researching the subject, they were shocked to discover how many household and personal care products were filled with chemical preservatives, fragrances, dyes, etc.. They found that there were too many chemicals in personal care products for their own well-being. Consequently, Alain and Karen started formulating their own personal care products without the use of chemicals. That was the beginning of The Green Beaver Company. The Green Beaver Company believes in Mother Nature to help us take care of ourselves. For centuries, humans have been living with and safely using natural ingredients. That is why Green Beaver relies on pure natural ingredients when formulating their products. From the Green Beaver family to yours, they are proud to bring you wholesome, healthy personal care products that are safe and effective for you, your family and the environment.

Ship Weight:0.48 Flavor:Darjeeling Summer Adagio - Black Tea Loose Leaf Darjeeling Summer - 4 oz. (112 g) Adagio Darjeeling Summer Loose Leaf Black Tea comes from the famous Darjeeling region of India. This summer harvest tea comes to Adagio from one of their favorites, Puttabong Estate. These tea gardens are some of the highest in the world, at 6000 feet above sea level. At these high altitudes, the tea leaves grow more slowly, and have more time to develop their unique Darjeeling flavor. This one has sweet, white grape or dessert wine fragrance, slightly earthy, and smooth, sweet-tangy flavor with a more gentle astringency than typical for these teas. About Black TeaBlack Tea also utilizes all five basic steps, but is allowed to oxidize more completely. Also, the steps are followed in a very linear form; they are generally not repeated on a single batch. The tea is completely made within a day. The brewed liquor of a Black tea ranges between dark brown and deep red. Black teas offer the strongest flavors and, in some cases, greatest astringency. Black teas, particularly those from India and Sri Lanka, are regularly drunk with milk and sugar and are the most popular bases for iced tea. StoryDarjeeling is a town situated along the slopes of the beautiful, towering Himalayas. The town, and the tea plantations that stretch around it, are often enveloped in mist. This unique climate, along with the region's loamy soil, help produce one of the most unique and distinctive teas in the world. These altitudes place significant strain on the bushes, so they grow more slowly and have more time to develop flavor. The leaves are also more fragile, so they oxidize and dry up at different rates during production. That's why Darjeeling tea always 'looks like Fall' - brown, gold, green. No one else in the world has tea that tastes quite like authentic Darjeeling. Goal: Perfect Cup No matter how expensive the tea you buy, if you brew it wrong, it's awful. This is a lesson many beginners learn the hard way. Many people who claim they "don't like the taste" were actually repelled by an incorrectly brewed cup of tea. This can create a terrible misconception that can last a lifetime... and can also be easily avoided with better brewing techniques. Many restaurants, cafés and households that serve tea try to cut corners by simply throwing all teas into the same temperature water and serving visitors without any direction. This makes about as much sense as opening a premium wine bar and serving white wines at room temperature, or opening a prime steakhouse and serving all steaks well done. Steeping good tea does not take a PhD, but it is also not as simple as chucking it into boiling water and letting it stew. There are easy ways, however, to steep the perfect cup. The trick to steeping tea correctly comes in five parts: water, weight, temperature, time and equipment. WaterPerfect water isn't necessary, but if your water "tastes funny", so will your tea. If your water tastes great (or does not taste at all depending on your perspective), you should be in pretty good shape. Great water will have around 150 parts per million (PPM) of balanced mineral content. For perspective, extremely hard water in several major U.S. cities is around 900+ PPM. To correct this issue, a conscientious tea shop will usually use a rather expensive reverse osmosis filtration system and a calcium carbonate cartridge to introduce the proper amount of mineral content to the water. At home, you can use a simple carbon filter water pitcher to remove the extra mineral, as well as any contaminants like chlorine. Water that is too hard (too many minerals) will extract extra astringency from your tea and give you a harsh brew. Water that is too soft will not extract enough of the polyphenols that deliver astringency, health benefits AND taste and you'll have a weak, muddy cup. Fresh water is also best. When water boils, oxygen is released. The Chinese call water that has been boiled "dead water". You can't get the best cup of tea from water that has been repeatedly re-boiled. WeightUsing too much tea will make your tea bitter and your wallet empty. Too little tea will bring a weak cup and a sense of longing. The volume that is considered the "golden ratio" of leaves to water is one teaspoon of most tea leaves (approx. 3 grams) per 8 ounce cup of water. Please note this is for a traditional 8 ounce cup. Most mugs are around 10 to 12 ounces. Here's where it gets a little complicated. A large, open leaf tea like a White tea or some Oolongs may require two or more teaspoons to equal 3 grams. Broken or tightly rolled teas like Gunpowder may pack significantly more into a single teaspoon. At the end of the day, perfection is less important than keeping an eye on the leaf size and adjusting based on your taste preferences. TemperatureSome like it hot. The ideal temperature depends on the tea. Use boiling water (212F) when preparing Black, dark Oolong and Herbal teas. These teas are tough, they can take the burn, and even require it in order to break down the leaf and release the flavor. However, it's important to use cooler water when steeping more delicate teas, such as Green, green Oolong and White teas. Water that is too hot will cause a delicate tea to taste overly bitter or astringent. Water that is too cool will cause a tea to taste flavorless and weak. If you don't have a thermometer or a kettle that lets you gauge temperature, you'll typically find that boiling water that is allowed to sit for 5 minutes will have dropped to roughly 180F. TimeThey say that "time heals all wounds." However, it also makes most teas turn bitter. The rule of thumb is 3-5 minutes for most black teas (depending on your preference for strength) - any longer, and they'll become overly astringent and puckery. Dark Oolong and White teas, on the other hand, are much more forgiving. These teas will taste best when steeped for 3-5 minutes but will still be drinkable if steeped a little longer. For light Oolong and green teas, a little TLC must be employed, steeping for only 2 minutes - 3 minutes, if you're looking for a strong cup. EquipmentThe proper equipment is also very important in the steeping process. When hot water is added, tea leaves can unfurl up to 5 times their dry size. So to make a great tea you need to give your leaves some leg room. If using an infuser basket, use as broad and deep of a basket as possible for the pot or cup you're brewing in (some barely extend a quarter of the way below the surface of the water). Commercial tea bags are not recommended, due to inadequate expansion room and low quality tea. Which brings us to our final point. It almost goes without saying that, to make the perfect cup of tea, there is one more prerequisite: good tea. Buy the best that is within your budget. It will make a noticeable difference. The perfect cup is out there... just brew it. Lower in Caffeine than Coffee or Cola Matching Tea with FoodExploring the world of connoisseur-level teas is as intoxicating as that other beverage: Wine. For wine lovers, the current fashion is not to insist that whites pair up with poultry nor drink only reds with meat. This has led to many adventuresome pairings and new taste sensations. Fortunately, teas pairings are also open to exploration. Anyone who says blacks are only for entrees or that greens must stand alone, haven't had the pleasure (or perhaps the opportunity) to pair a wide variety of teas with every part of a menu. Greens like Dragonwell or Sencha are wonderful with seafood or fish fillets, salads, or chicken. Blacks like Ceylon or Assam from India are soft accompaniments to beef or steak dishes or spicy foods from Mexican, Italian, or Indian cuisine. Although it is traditional to have Oolongs with Chinese dishes, one may argue that rich black Yunnan or Keemun teas offer more complexity and layers to the experience of tea pairings. Formosa Oolong and Pouchong teas seem to demand solo drinking, quiet, and something restful to look upon. However, oolongs are delicious in many foods. Try them to flavor liquids used for cooking rice or grains. They add a wonderful punch, and like all tea, no calories, sodium, or sugar! For desserts, seek out the chocolaty essence of a Golden Monkey. This exquisite Chinese tea is hearty, rich, and tastes perfect when infused into baked custards, chocolate cakes, or drunk as a beverage with a rich dense strawberry shortcake. Assam is another rich black tea that complements chocolate desserts yet is a surprising foil against lemony or custard dishes. As a digestive, nothing is better, more satisfying or more calming than an aged Chinese Pu-erh, the darker, the stronger, the better. The only intentionally aged tea, it is particularly good after a multiple-course feast like a Thanksgiving or similar heavy holiday meal. If you're a milk-and-cookies snacker before bedtime, try a Fruit Medley herbal infusion instead. You'll sleep better, and will wake up feeling great.

Base Width & Depth: 8 x 8 inches
Weight: 22 pounds
Lost Wax Method: This sculpture is a one of a kind, lost wax method bronze statue hand made by the artists of Bangladesh. The statue pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact piece. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this! Each bronze is hand made by a group of bronze artists whose families have been crafting bronze sculptures for centuries with the art being passed on by each generation. The hand crafted bronzes statues have an incredible amount of detail which many other mass produced, brass Hindu statues lack.
~A Hymn from Sri Bhagavat-Tathva~
The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, or Ganesha, is one of Hinduisms most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshippers first acknowledge when they visit a temple. He is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic. Ganesh is usually depicted colored red; he is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a pasam, a goad, and a pot of rice or sweetmeats. The sweet meats are held in a type of bowl known as a laddus. His appetite for these sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.
Statues of Ganesh can be found in most Indian towns. His image is placed where new houses are to be built; he is honored at the start of a journey or business venture, and poets traditionally invoke him at the start of a book.
A pasam is a triple twine weapon. Each of the three twines represents, arrogance and conceit, Maya - the illusory nature of the real world, ignorance. In Hindu ideology weapons are a viewed as symbolic tools to destroy the ego rather than to cause any type of bloodshed. Goads (or elephant prods) are typically used to direct elephants. Goads are symbolic of how one should steer the soul away from the ignorance and illusions of this earthly world just as a mahout would steer an elephant away from any treacherous path.
Bangladeshi Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues around the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the Bangleshi bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For Bangladeshi bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine, use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
If you have any questions concerning your bronze statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

You're not fat, you're neurotic—or possibly anorexic.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the skinniest weight-obsessed bitch of them all? Not me. While I have been labeled a "Skinny Bitch" at times, I'm not and have never been weight obsessed. I'm fit—okay, extremely muscular—but not skinny. I eat carbs. I love to eat. And, knowing this, you likely hate me more. You hate me if I don't eat. You hate me if I do. I can't win. Believe it or not, over the past 4 years I have gained 8.5% additional body fat, and I fall well within the average weight range for my body size and type. That was not always the case. There was a period of time in my teens and early twenties when I was a little heavier, and not so long ago I was actually twelve pounds lighter than I am. This was due to extreme stress and a death in the family. I looked like a heroin addict—not a Skinny Bitch.
Women waste so much time and mental energy on judging our own and other women's bodies (see this great article from CNN). Think of all the things we could accomplish, if we focused on other things. You think Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin got so far in politics by obsessing about their weight? I can understand how a woman who is severely overweight might call herself fat, but when a thin woman labels herself as fat or obese, it's nothing less than repulsive. Makes me want to vomit, but alas, I'm not bulimic!

One question, internal or USB wireless adapter?
Hi all,
I am only using my wireless adapter during this test. I downloaded the VM of BT and booted up with VirtualBox, and when I attempt to find the wireless device via iwconfig, I get nothing. I also tried iwlist wlan0 scan and I get "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning." I can get to the Internet, and running ifconfig I can see my IP.
I have tried all of the network adapter settings in Virtual Box, looked through their forums, to no avail. I was hoping someone out there might have had the same issue as me. I am using Windows 7 Professions 64-bit, and running the latest Virtual Box to load up BT5r3. I was hoping to do some packet-sniffing but aircrack can't do anything without the wireless adapter.
I am bridging the network connection to the following settings (see attachment).
Any and all help is appreciated.
One question, internal or USB wireless adapter?
My dear friend i have this problem too,if you are booting BT from a VirtualBox or VMware only USB wifi adapters are supported.Try to burn the iso file into a DVD disc and boot from there.
Technically Virtualbox supports pci passthrough but you need CPU,Mainboard and BIOS support for that.

Helped on SG deer
Feeling pretty good. A bud shot at two early in the am. he called for assistance, I jumped. End of the day both deer were hit low, in the upper leg. Swamp/briar patch woods, slow going just trying to pry your way through. He uses a 20ga benelli slug gun w/scope. Remington accutips zeroed at 50. Shots were about 30. 1st deer tracked blood was sparce, relying at times on hoof marks untill a smear or drop showed. Nice having two guys, one on blood, one looking ahead on likely runs. I was the on blood guy. Never leave it. On more than one occasion the deer made an abrupt turn which was only found by patience. stay on last blood and LOOK. A smear, a drop, it's there, just have to slow down and LOOK. We eventually did jump up that first deer and it was not hard to follow after it ran. We ran, or hustled right on it. Caught a glimpse of it, no shot, kept after it. felt we had to make him move. He went 4-5oo yards along a small river before my bud cut him off and the deer crossed the river. we picked up tracks right off and heard him go ahead of us. my bud swung out to an opening and saw the deer going on 3 legs. He basicly ran him down from there. the deer was out of gas and he finished him. I went for the truck, my bud dressed and dragged to the nearest spot on a power line.
Deer 2, went back in at noon and started sorting it out. Again, sparse blood, 1 on blood, 1 venturing ahead. This deer did'nt travel as far but stayed in thick cover. again, 2 guys rock. When the venturer could'nt come up with anything, the on blood guy really sat down and looked. We got damm close. Deer busted or tried, 20 yards from me but I had no visual. We consulted, spread out 40 yards and struggled through the briars in the general direction. It popped up in front of me trying to leave and I took a shot. A push ahead through the briars to the spot, it looked like I hit it (surprise) hair and generous blood trail. 40 yards on we found her. About 330 pm. PHEW!!!! I don't care if you shoot one with a gun or a bow, desperation sets in if you hit one. I'm so glad we were able to catch up with them both. FYI both were identical hits, destroyed the off side upper legs. Not a fatal hit, but if you stay after them, you can end it. Congrats to my friend, who is a good hunter and land owner, who made the best out of a bad situation. He is not feeling so good about it however. we all would feel the same way.

This ITU TELECOM ASIA 2008 Forum session addresses the theme: Meeting the Needs of Society. Today's modern world of communications is witness to innovative systems that present a host of both opportunities and challenges for public policy frameworks. The current telecommunications regulatory model applies to legacy publicly switched telecommunications networks (PSTN). However, the rapid investment in next-generation networks (NGN) is creating new regulatory issues and challenges, calling for a paradigm shift in ICT regulation.
NGN is a packet-based Internet Protocol (IP) network designed to deliver a full range of services - from broadband Internet to fixed, wireless and mobile voice and data, and even broadcast television -- over a single network with guaranteed quality of service. The imminent replacement of circuit-switched phone systems with the new packet-switched architecture illustrates how regulatory approaches must match innovation. A significant challenge with NGN is matching the right policy and regulatory settings to facilitate migration to NGN and stimulate investment in the new networks. This session will consider the costs and benefits of investing in the still uncharted NGN terrain. [More...]
Climate change is a global challenge that demands urgent attention. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are vital instruments in monitoring the spread of global warming as well as part of the solution in promoting carbon displacement technologies. At the same time, in an increasingly switched on society, ICTs are also becoming a part of the cause of global warming. Although ICTs contribute only an estimated 2.5 per cent of total greenhouse gases, this is set to increase as ICT usage expands globally.
New technologies that increase efficiencies provide opportunities for monitoring and protecting the environment, mitigating the effects of global warming and adapting to climate change. In its commitment to connecting the world, ITU advances a green ICT agenda and leads environment-friendly initiatives to monitor climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of ICT while enabling other sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Extract from Dr Touré's address: ... ITU and UPU have long worked towards the ideal of universal access. Now, at a time when the digitalization of our industries is rapidly changing the communication landscape, we are still working towards this ideal.
The goal of universal access was the reason for ITUs Connect Africa initiative, launched at a high-level Summit in Kigali last October. While great gains have been made in the African continent in recent years, there remains much to do if we want to eliminate the digital divide. Bringing connectivity to every region in Africa requires mobilizing all possible human, technical and financial resources both public and private. At the same time, Connect Africa has demonstrated that such mobilization of resources can create exciting business and investment opportunities.
UPU, of course, has had its own role to play in this process. As has been so often the case in the history of our two organizations, we again find ourselves not only standing side-by-side, but working actively together. Let me give you 3 examples... [Full speech]
During the audience granted to Dr Touré on 25 July by His Excellency Amadou Toumani Touré, President of the Republic of Mali, discussions focused on the successes achieved in the ICT sector with a view to facilitating access to communication for people from all layers of society nationwide and thereby attaining the Millennium Goals. Reference was also made to ITU's support, which will result in the implementation of priority projects relating to smooth privatization of SOTELMA, optical fibre networks, multipurpose community centres in post offices and training centres.
Emergency workers searching for next-of-kin contact information for an injured person now have a globally recognized way of doing so, thanks to a new standard from ITU.
By simply prefixing the Arabic numericals 01, 02, 03, and so on to a nominated contact, such as "01father", "02wife" or "03husband" written in any script in the mobile telephone directory, will help emergency workers in any part of the world identify contacts in order of priority and notify them.
ITU will work with non-profit organization ICE4SAFETY to promote this new way of identifying an emergency contact in a mobile handset's directory.
"In Case of Emergency" or ICE has emerged in some English-speaking countries encouraging people to list emergency contact numbers in their mobile phones directory in the form of "ICE father", for example, or "ICE doctor". However, this precludes people who do not use or recognize the Roman script from readily identifying what the term "ICE" represents. ITU members expressed the need to identify emergency contacts independent of language or script. [More...]
An audience with His Excellency Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal, was granted on 21 July to the ITU Secretary-General, who had previously paid personal visits to ongoing projects such as extension of the Governmental Intranet, the Pompenguine Cybercase pilot project, and the computer-recycling programme involving disabled persons. Operational missions relating to feasibility studies in close collaboration with the African Union were entrusted to ITU.
TELECOM Forum: Security, Privacy and Trust - Who Protects Whom? And From What?
In an increasingly networked world, achieving cybersecurity and cyberpeace is critically important. Recognizing the magnitude of the issue, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) called for building confidence and security in the use of ICTs. And ITU, in keeping with its lead role, launched the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) to fast-track a global response to enhance cybersecurity.
Considering the major role that ICTs play as an engine of growth in the world economy, the ITU TELECOM Forum in Bangkok, Thailand will address the key issues of security, privacy and trust.
Huge investments have been made worldwide to put government services online, and cross-border collaboration is critical for the effective implementation of those services. Users are often rightly suspicious about technology that aggregates massive amounts of personal data which, in the hands of identity thieves and cyber criminals, could lead to disastrous consequences.
How can the rights and privacy of citizens be safeguarded while still facilitating the convenience of electronic identity systems? What principles have been learned and where should attention be focused? This Forum session at ITU TELECOM ASIA will dig deep to find the answers! [More...]
The Connect the Caribbean event was hosted by the National Telecommunications Provider, Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) and was attended by well over 680 delegates, ten Ministers of Government from around the region and other invited guests from The Bahamas. The theme of this years event was CANTO"- Caribbean Unity through Connectivity and was centered on the Connect the Caribbean (CTC) Initiative of CANTO. The Connect the Caribbean Initiative is the Caribbeans response to the Connect the World Initiative, consistent with the framework of Connect the World project of the ITU. The project will function as a partnership to mobilize the human, financial and technical resources required to bridge major gaps in ICT infrastructure development, enabling a harmonized policy framework and developing relevant and affordable services and applications.
Responding to an industry call, ITU has set up a new group to work on standards related to the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on climate change. The new group will focus in particular on the reduction of ICT emissions and how ICTs can assist in cutting emissions in other industry sectors such as energy, transportation and buildings.
Since the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, in December 1997, the number of ICT users has tripled worldwide. It is estimated that the ICT sector produces between two to three per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. But ICTs are also seen as a part of the solution to the climate change challenge.
ICTs could help cut global emissions by between 15 to 40 per cent, depending on the methodology used to make these estimates. Two recent ITU symposia on ICTs and climate change in Kyoto in April and in London in June this year drew attention to the wide variation in these estimates. A key objective of the Focus Group will be to develop internationally agreed methodologies to describe and estimate the impact of ICTs on climate change, both directly and through their application in other industry sectors...

ITU TELECOM ASIA 2008, the regional ICT showcase, is set for Bangkok, Thailand from 2 to 5 September. The first such event to be hosted by Thailand, Asia 2008 will promote information and communication technologies (ICT) both globally and within the Asia-Pacific region.
"New Generation, New Values" the theme for ITU TELECOM ASIA 2008 sets the stage for both the Exhibition and the Forum. The Exhibition showcases a comprehensive range of ICT-related products and services, reflecting the ever extending reach of industry. Parallel to individual stands, a number of initiatives are underway to showcase national competitive advantages. Pavilions registered thus far include: China, France, Japan, Korea, Russia, Thailand and USA. ITU TELECOM ASIA 2008 will be held at the modern IMPACT Challenger Centre in Bangkok. As ASIA 2008 coincides with the dates for Bangkok International ICT Expo that has been organized for the last four years by Thailands Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT), the entire central hall of the IMPACT Challenger venue is dedicated to showcasing the ICT industry in Thailand.
"Thailand is very supportive of this years event and has organized an impressive Pavilion that firmly establishes Thailand as an ICT hub," said ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré. "The location is ideal because of its strategic and geographic situation in the Asia-Pacific region, noting the fast-growing markets in China and India and the huge potential of the rest of the region. At the same time, more developed markets in neighbouring countries continue to embrace cutting edge information and communication technologies." [More...]
15% of Europeans suffer from some form of disability, and many face barriers such as reading a website's small text or even knowing how to access websites and online services. Despite repeated calls by the EU and government leaders to improve this situation, progress remains limited: by far the majority of websites fail to use universally accepted user-friendly solutions. Today the European Commission launched a public consultation on further measures to make websites in Europe accessible, starting with those of public administrations, and invites stakeholders to give their views. It also addresses other technologies like digital television. The consultation is open until 27 August 2008. [More...]
African regulators and policy makers met in Dakar, Senegal to address the challenges of connecting Africa to information and communication technologies (ICT). Achieving connectivity is seen as a catalyst for achieving the broader targets of the Millennium Development Goals.
The ninth Forum on Telecommunication/ICT Regulation and Partnership in Africa was held 4-6 June 2008 in the context of the Connect Africa Summit, which met in Kigali, Rwanda last October.
Opening the Forum, Mr Habib Sy, Minister for Infrastructures, Land Transport, Telecommunications and ICT of Senegal emphasized the importance of establishing a regulatory framework to build a modern and successful Africa perfectly integrated in the information society.
ITU was represented by Mr Yury Grin, Deputy Director of the Telecommunication Development Bureau. He highlighted ITUs role as a facilitator in supporting African countries to establish effective regulatory frameworks. He said the creation of an enabling environment would foster investment and stimulate growth in the ICT sector.
Over 140 delegates from 43 countries attended the Forum. [More...]
Speech from Dr Hamadoun I. Touré:
I am pleased to be with you this morning at this especially important TSAG meeting, the last before WTSA in Johannesburg.
As you know ITU's mission is to connect the world. I am proud of the strong resolve that TSAG has shown in supporting this number one goal of ITU.
In my address to TSAG in December last year I laid out the five key priorities that were identified by the new management team.
As a direct result of that last TSAG meeting ICTs and climate change has become an item to add to this list and is now very strongly fixed on our agenda. I am very appreciative of the drive that has come from TSAG and ITU-T on this topic and note with pleasure the excellent outcome of the recent symposiums in Kyoto and London... [Full speech...]
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates met with ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré along with a high-level ITU delegation including the Director of the ITU Standardization Bureau, Mr Malcolm Johnson, Director of the Development Bureau, Mr Sami Al Basheer, and Ms Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Chief of Strategic Planning and Membership.
The meeting in Redmond, WA, USA aimed at extending the collaboration between ITU and Microsoft. Discussions ranged from improving education through information and communication technologies (ICT), developing digital resources, providing access to low-cost ICT devices and building human capacity to expanding e-health services and other e-applications.
At the meeting, Mr Bill Gates emphasized that ICT is a key component for achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
After the OECD Ministerial Meeting and on his way to Seattle, Dr. Touré visited Japan for the first time since the begining of his mandate as Secretary-General and met with high-level officials in Tokyo to discuss subjects such as Cybersecurity, Climate Change, and the Digital Divide, with the view to intensify efforts in these important areas. The Secretary-General also thanked the Governement of Japan for its generous support towards an ITU pilot study project on Wireless Broadband Technology. Within the framework of his mission, Dr Touré was received by Mr. K. Aritomi Kaníchiro, President of the ITU Association of Japan and emphasized the catalytic role of ITU to link the new technologies and services of the Japanese industry with developping countries and develop this through partnerships.
The OECD Ministerial Meeting that took place in Seoul, Korea was attended by more than 70 countries. Dr Touré, ITU Secretary-General met with Presidents and CEOs of prominent ICT companies from Korea where the developments and innovations of the ICT industry have brought a significant benefit to the region. The industry leaders shared initiatives at multilateral and bilateral levels. Many themes were tackled and "the Global Internet Economy" was the topic of roundtable 5 at which Dr Touré addressed the mobile success story of today and defended the priority of tomorrow which is the broadband Internet as a basic and vital infrastructure to the economy and social development. The Secretary-General urged participants to bring the broadband networks within easy reach of all in order to avoid creating a devastating new Digital Divide. In face of today's new threats, the task of ensuring the right infrastructure and empowering people to use the new tools will build confidence in Internet becomes an essential goal to global technology.

Dr. Touré attended the GTM 2008 in Washington on 3 June 2008. Intelsat has been hosting GTM for the past 30 years where communications companies, satellite industry and organizations from all over the world gather in sharing their network and knowledge to address the benefit of ICT to people in the most remote places on the globe. This year GTM event opened its doors to corporate network operators, government services sectors and carriers. GTM 08 tackled the networking environment and focused on business and social issues affecting the world telecom industry. Connect the World having been the theme of this years GTM, Dr. Touré, a keynote speaker at this event, found this forum a perfect platform to share one of the principal missions of ITU to expand access and connectivity in a view to reaching its goal to connect the unconnected by 2015.
Geneva, Switzerland Ms Khédija Hamouda Ghariani, Secretary-General of the Arab Information and Communication Technology Organization (AICTO) visited the Geneva headquarters of ITU and met with Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré and Deputy Secretary-General Mr Houlin Zhao on 26 May 2008. Established in January 2008 to meet the goals of the Information Society in the Arab States through the development of ICT, AICTO has applied to become a Sector Member of ITU. Photos | AICTO website

Dr Touré's supporting quote: "As the specialized United Nations agency for information and communication technologies (ICT), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) welcomes the new Mobile Alliance Against Child Sexual Abuse to protect children from the misuse of mobile broadband networks by child predators around the world. The World Summit on the Information Society called for national and international measures against the use of ICT in all forms of child abuse and encouraged the setting up of child helplines. Those measures have been endorsed by the ITU and they are being adopted by our distinctive membership of 191 Member States and some 700 private companies. The Mobile Alliance is a prime example of the proactive action industry can take and, together with government and law enforcement support, we can make significant progress in the global fight against child sexual abuse content online."

A pterygium is a non-cancerous growth that starts in the of the clear, thin tissue (conjunctiva) of the eye. This growth covers the white part of the eye (sclera) and extends onto the cornea. It is often slightly raised and contains visible blood vessels.The problem may occur on one or both eyes.
The exact cause is unknown.It is more common in people who have a lot of exposure tosunlight and wind, such as people who work outdoors.
Risk factors are exposure to sunny, dusty, sandy, or windblown areas. Farmers, fishermen, and people living near the equator are often affected. Pterygium is rare in children.
The main symptom of a pterygium is a painless area of raised white tissue that has blood vessels on the inner or outer edge of the cornea. Sometimes the pterygiumhas no symptoms. However, it may become inflamed and cause burning, irritation, or a feeling like there's something foreign in the eye. Vision may be affectedif the grows extends far enough onto the cornea.
Exams and Tests
A physical examination of the eyes and eyelids confirms the diagnosis. Special tests are usually not needed.
Treatment is usually not needed. Using artificial tears to keep the eyes moist may help prevent a pterygium from becoming inflamed. Mild steroid eye drop can be used to calm inflammation if it occurs. Surgery can be used to remove the growth for cosmetic reasons or if it block vision.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most pterygia cause no problems and do not need treatment. If a pterygium affects the cornea, removing it can have good results.
Possible Complications
Ongoing inflammation can cause a pterygium to grow farther onto the cornea. A pterygium can return after it is removed.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
People with pterygium should be seen by an ophthalmologist each year, so that the condition can be treated before it affects vision.
Call for an appointment with your ophthalmologist if you have had a pterygium in the past and your symptoms return.
Taking steps to protect the eyesfrom ultraviolet light such as wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim may help prevent this condition.

I'm looking for some workout music, I know the sound, but not the genre/ style
Basically, I like training to music thats hard, fast, heavy and electronic....anyone know the best genre/ style for this?
Much Appreciated

Much Appreciated
I've never listened to music while training, but how about some speedcore!?
I remember hearing that song on some Dance Dance Revolution video on youtube, and thinking it was the most mental thing I'd ever heard. I came home after a night on illicit material (a few years ago now) and actually found myself quite pumped up by it. I listened to it just now and saw it for the shite it was, but at that moment it seemed to make sense!
Anyway, they may be generic answers, but the following 2 songs can't help but get you in the training mood:
Schranz or gabba could be what you're thinking of.
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson
Working out to Hardstyle does your nut after awhile, hard dance is better.
I personally train to a bit of Paul Anka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx7XMOTbo20
Pendulum DanCrase
Awesome to work out too! (give the link 44 seconds to kick in mate!)
My Entrance Tune
Just because its awesome
Copy his dance moves for full monster cardio workout!
Or anything by "The Prodigy"

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
If you're looking for something that's fast, hard, heavy and electronic, I would say industrial metal. It certainly helps to get my heart pumping sometimes when I workout.
Some classic White Zombie:
Static X:
Mad Capsule Markets are always fun to train to. Difficult to really put them in a genre though!
My website now has a new domain, check it out - www.modernviolentgentlemen.com
Pendulum sounds like it
I can't listen to metal when I'm training, because I'm into metal in "real life" and if I listen to metal when working out, I start listening to the lyrics and music too much and drop a barbell on my foot or something

458 Winchester
The David Miller Co. makes few rifles with iron sights, nonetheless those that they have built are superb. An iron-sighted rifle is considerably more difficult to build — the way the Miller Company does it — than an equivalent scope-sighted rifle. This 458 Winchester is designed and intended for dangerous game hunting. Bronze sculpture by William Davis Studio. Photo by Ron Dehn.

text: Many months ago I reported that Teresa Giudice made a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison time in her fraud case. Although she faces serious jail time when she appears in court on July 8 for tax fraud charges, she is planning a party for July 13th for the season premiere of RHNJ. In a Tweet she told everyone that she would be at the premiere party and of course promoting the fact that her wine would be the beverage of the party. Unless she totally has her head in the sand or thinks she is going to get a date to turn herself in at a later date and not be remanded to custody at the hearing, this is something that shows she is pretty confident she is either going to get probation or something like house arrest instead of actual jail time.

Emir: Sheikh Tamim ibn Hamad Al Thani (2013)
Prime Minister: Sheikh Abdullah ibn Nasser ibn Khalifah Al Thani (2013)
Total area: 4,416 sq mi (11,437 sq km)
Population (2014 est.): 2,123,160 (growth rate: 3.58%); birth rate: 9.95/1000; infant mortality rate: 6.42/1000; life expectancy: 78.38; density per sq mi: 455
Capital (2011 est.): Doha, 567,000
Monetary unit: Qatari riyal
Qatar (pronounced KAH-ter) occupies a small peninsula that extends into the Persian Gulf from the east side of the Arabian Peninsula. Saudi Arabia is to the west and the United Arab Emirates to the south. The country is mainly barren.
Constitutional monarchy.
Qatar was once controlled by the sheikhs of Bahrain, but in 1867, war broke out between the people and their absentee rulers. To keep the peace in the Persian Gulf, the British installed Muhammad ibn Thani al-Thani, head of a leading Qatari family, as the region's ruler. In 1893, the Ottoman Turks made incursions into Qatar, but the emir successfully deflected them. In 1916, the emir agreed to allow Qatar to become a British protectorate.
Oil was discovered in the 1940s, bringing wealth to the country in the 1950s and 1960s. About 85% of Qatar's income from exports comes from oil. Its people have one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. In 1971, Qatar was to join the other emirates of the Trucial Coast to become part of the United Arab Emirates. But both Qatar and Bahrain decided against the merger and instead formed independent nations.
Qatar permitted the international forces to use Qatar as a base during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. A border dispute erupted with Saudi Arabia that was settled in Dec. 1992. A territorial dispute with Bahrain over the Hawar Islands remains unresolved, however. In 1994, Qatar signed a defense pact with the U.S., becoming the third Gulf state to do so.
In June 1995, Crown Prince Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani deposed his father, primarily because the king was out of step with the country's economic reforms. The emir was not stripped of his title, and much of the power was already in his son's hands. The new emir lifted press censorship and instituted other liberal reforms, including democratic elections and women's suffrage (1999). In 2003 Crown Prince Jassim, who declared he had never wanted to be king, abdicated in favor of his younger brother, Prince Tamim.
Qatar is the home of Al Jazeera, the immensely popular and controversial Arabic satellite television network.
Qatar introduced its first constitution on June 9, 2005. It guarantees freedom of expression, assembly, and religion and calls for a 45-seat parliament. Thirty of the seats will be filled in democratic elections; the emir will appoint the remaining seats.
Sheik Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Thani resigned as prime minister in April 2007. The emir named former foreign minister Sheik Hamad bin Jassem al Thani as his replacement.
On June 25, 2013, Emir Sheikh Hamad ibn Khalifah Al Thani abdicated the throne. His fourth son, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, age 33, succeeded him as emir. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani appointed his cabinet, including Sheikh Abdullah ibn Nasser ibn Khalifah Al Thani as the new prime minster.

Fear not...finally a solution. Under the heading of 'Why didn't someone think of that sooner?' comes the StrollAway! It is an over the door (no wall or door damage from screws) stroller storage system.
Constructed of sturdy steel, the StrollAway will accommodate most stroller models, and folds flush to the door when not in use! Hang it on the back of the closet door and voila! Out of sight until your next jaunt with Junior!
