So if this goes on a while, in my typical rhyming style. There is no one to blame but dVerse, so send them your best curse. Or you can give it to me, I'll take it gladly. Now without further adieu, time to rhyme the Mr. Linky crew.
As a Rainbow shines through
And everything is simply new
So ends my dVerse chime
Wasn't that a fun trip down the dVerse road, with some nutty rhyming bs load. I got all I saw and typed them out with my paw, but if I missed one or got it wrong with my rhyming fun. My bad, we'll blame that Pat lad. So after typing this huge dVerse mass, off I go with my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

Just got a nearmiss two days ago. Eyes on the road, hard braking and safe following distance saved me from otherwise a potential car accident of hitting a car in front of mine. Spaced nearly by one meter. Fortunately the guy at the back swerved his car to the right and I was relieved from being rear ended. It seems that one driver took an abrupt change and the following drivers had to apply sudden brake. I've seen many accidents of this type during my almost 7 years in Qatar (good examples could be those happened many times on a Al Gharafa Flyover). Really, I can emphasize enough the importance of safe following distance. The distances vary depending on what speed you are travelling, what conditions you are driving in and what type of vehicle you are driving. In most cases, a safe following distance is much greater than a car length. In general a driver in a car should drive at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front in ideal conditions. In poor conditions (dust, fog, rain) the distances should be increased. The thing here in Qatar is if you give a (two-second) space it is highly likely that somebody will fill in the spot. But for the sake of your own safety, ignore it and make another two-second space.
Baan Thai
Baan means House in Thai. This two-story restaurant is located in the suburb of Muaither, just opposite Aspire Park on the Furousiya Street. Do not underestimate its appearance from the outside of the building which shares the commercial row with McD, toy store, and minimarket. Baan Thai is sleek, clean, and modern, once we enter. It's also spacious although peppered with authentic Thai ornaments or accents throughout its both floors.
Not so long before one of the waitresses came to see us and handed us their menu. We're overwhelmed. All looked so inviting that we took quite some time to decide. Finally we came up with this selection: tom yum goong (hot & sour tom yum soup with prawns, lemongrass lime juice and thai herbs), kai pad sub pa rod (chicken stir fried with pineapple), goong pad katriem (shrimp stir fried with garlic sauce), beef sautee, chicken fried rice, steamed rice, fish cakes, and thai ice tea.
The Thai fish cake, known as tod mun pla, is marvelous. They seems rightly spiced and herbed, and also not so soft not so hard. The seafood tom yum was a typical Thai taste if not on the sour side; too much lime?
The kids loved the fried rice and beef sautee, though the latter veered into oily and hard texture. They didn't like the idea of pineapple married with chicken so that I'm responsible for most if not all the portions. Shrimp stir fried deserved our praise for its freshness and wonderfully spiced. Unfortunately, steam rice that accompanied our main courses was a bit hard.
We closed our dinner with Thai Ice Tea which we never regretted it's chosen for its superb taste, if only it has a ready-made drink sachet for home.

2015 Egypt Trip: Day 7-8 – Cairo – Alexandria – Doha
Alexandria, or Iskandariya, or simply Alex is Egypt's second largest city, a major economic center due to its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast.
We started from Nasr City, east Cairo at 8:30am, and it took us close to 4hrs to Alexandria (233km), including one stop in one of the rest areas along Cairo – Alex Desert road. The Desert Road is a highway, however, its northern end close to Alexandria suffers from bottle necking due to ongoing road construction hence slowing down the trip.
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina was our first stop (EGP 5 Egyptian, EGP2/5 Student, EGP70 Non Egyptian). This vast library (enough shelf space for 8 million books, though it's not in full capacity today) is intended to revive the grand old library once stood close to its current site, before it was thought to be burnt or destructed.
- Admission into the Main Reading Area is restricted to ages 16 and above.
- Children under 6 are not permitted in the Library. They can stay at the on-site daycare facility, located behind the Conference Center, provided they are accompanied by a parent.
- Youth aged 6–16 are not permitted in the Main Reading Area unless with a tour group
- Bags and other items are not allowed inside the Library and must be deposited at the safekeeping facility next to the ticket booths
We managed to visit main reading areas, some exhibitions and Library Shop but not to its 4 museums, planetarium nor Culturama.
Citadel of Qaitbay is our next visit. The citadel is basically a 15th-century defensive fortress was established in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay. The Citadel was erected on the exact site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
There was a very long queue when we arrived on site that we aborted our plan to go inside. Instead we rather had a walk around the citadel. The pedestrian entrance to the citadel was lined with street stalls selling Egyptian souvenirs as well as sea-based souvenirs with some offers a horse ride service. The Mediterranean Sea was so inviting that some people took a plunge to its blue water.
What could be better next than taking a respite from a hot day by licking roadside ice creams!
After a prayer in the Mosque of Al Abbas Al-Moursi with its beautiful interior decorations we headed to one of the Indonesian restaurants in Al Ibrahimeyah area located between the Bibliotheca and Alexandria Sporting Club.
We arrived at Montaza Palace just few minutes before sunset. To arrive here was a struggle in itself. Although the Palace is located only 15km from where we had our lunch, it took us nearly an hour owing to heavy rush hour traffic clogging the coastal road.
The Palace and its extensive gardens in the Montaza district of Alexandria is popular with residents seeking a lovely view of sunset, or simply picnicking on its large green park complex. Unfortunately, the palace is not open to the public.
Sunset in Montaza concluded our day in Alexandria. We went back to the city center to check-in into Le Metropole Hotel. Strategically located in front of Midan Saad Zaghloul by the corniche, the hotel was believed to be constructed on the very location of former obelisk of Queen Cleopatra, now it is a gift to the city of Paris.
It was an eerie feeling entering into the hotel's 18th century building with classical decorations, small and old elevators, high ceilings, carpeted corridor and dimmed rooms. It's paid off however with stunning view to Mediterranean Sea, or the nearby square and Corniche Street from our room balcony.
See my review to the hotel here.
The next day, waiting for our flight back to Doha, I and my eldest son decided to take a short walk to nearby Roman Amphitheater. A 15-min leisure walk (1.1km) took us to the site which is very close to Misr Railway Station . Beware that it is not as grand as you would expect, including the nearby (within the same complex) Villa of the Birds.
We proceeded to Graeco Roman Museum only to find it has been closed for renovation since years ago (2008).
An hour limo ride took us to the isolated Borg El-Arab International Airport (50km – southwest) (200 EGP normal taxi, 300 EGP limo if arranged through hotel. It could have been cheaper if self-arranged).
It is here where the blatant "where is my tips?" demand from the staff at the First Class Lounge in El Borg Airport seemed to justify the generalized accusation of 'baksheesh' culture in Egypt tourism industry, unfortunately.
Taking off Qatar Airways flight to Doha would only mean that we had to end our mixed feelings of experiences in Egypt. We're glad we had an opportunity to sample Egyptian life, to dive into past rich history of Ancient Egypt, or the grand of Islamic era. We believe that each place has its unique charm and travelling is always an experience you can't buy.
What's next?
2015 Egypt Trip: Day 6 – Cairo, Mosques, Khan el-Khalili, Nile Cruise
If only I could summarize Cairo in three phrases then they would be: dysfunctional trash bin resulting in litter strewn streets, very functioning horns, and culture of baksheesh. And all of them, fortunately with the rich history backgrounds that spanning more than five thousands years from the Ancient Egypt to Islamic era and minority Coptic community to today's modern Cairo.
We spent the whole day exploring Cairo. Afwan, our guide, took us not only to those tourists usual sites but also the backside of Cairo not usually in the tour agent itinerary. He showed us areas full of student dormitories from Indonesia and Malaysia in Nasr City, visited student-run businesses such as restaurants serving the students, to Al Azhar campuses, or to mausoleum of Imam Shafi'i. He insisted us to aboard public boat ride on the last night in Cairo, which we're grateful we accepted later.
Started at 8.30 in the morning we hit the road for the Mosque of Amr bin Al-Aas, the first mosque ever built in Egypt. Within walking distances to it is Coptic Cairo areas with as many churches in one single area as could be in Cairo.
We're trapped in typical Cairo traffic trying to get to Asfour Crystal (hey check your purchase!) on the north Cairo before recharging ourselves with simple West Sumatra cuisines in Nasr City.
Then, tuck into a slum area of the City of the Dead, where 500,000 people depend their daily life to the eery city, for a mausoleum of Imam Shafi'i before going to the beautiful mosque of Ibn Tulun. The latter has inspired I.M. Pei to build Qatar's Museum of Islamic Art based on cubism architectures in the mosque.
Khan el-Khalili was the next stop, the perfect place to practice your haggling skills! We're fortunate we had Afwan as he is fluent in Arabic and with his sense of humor he always managed to get big discounts. Prices for souvenirs here are cheaper by Qatar standard.
While in here, we visited El Fishawy coffee shop, tempted by a good review in Lonely Planet. With a glass of coffee as cheap as 4 QAR and shisha for 10QAR this two-century old coffee shop is a treat after that shopping marathon in the bazaar or if you fancy people watching. Prepare your refusal words though as no single minute passed without roaming vendors!
We closed our Cairo chapter by taking a cheap public boat ride (70 EGP for 3 adults 2 children?); a 20-min ride on the river Nile, accompanied by blaring Arabic music, tacky dances by the youth and with glittering views of building alongside the river.
Goodbye Cairo!
2015 Egypt Trip: Day 5 Part 2 – Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple
Once we concluded our tour in Madinat Habu, we moved northwardly to the two most important historical sites: Temple of Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Kings.
Along the way we passed by Qurna Village -an old-fashioned, brightly painted mud-brick houses village sitting on top of suspected ancient tombs – and the Tombs of the Nobles.
Our guide, jokingly said to us that many would say 'hot chicken soup' in lieu of Hatshepsut, owing to the difficulty to spell it. Anyway. Queen Hatshepsut is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs. This mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II. Unfortunately, the temple was the site of the massacre of 62 people, mostly tourists, by extremists that took place in 1997.
What we see today is basically a reconstruction of the temple (that was started in the early 20th century).
The superbly detailed relief sculpture within Hatshepsut's temple recites the tale of the divine birth of a female pharaoh – the first of its kind. The text and pictorial cycle also tell of an expedition to the Land of Punt, an exotic country on the Red Sea coast. Interestingly enough there is a tree in front of Hatshepsut's temple, claimed to have been brought from Punt by Hatshepsut's Expedition which is depicted on the Temple walls.
Unfortunately many of the statues and ornamentation have since been stolen or destroyed, at order of Hatshepsut's stepson Thutmose III after her death.
In later time, the temple became a Christian monastery and therefore it bears its alternative name, Deir el-Bahari (Northern Monastery)
The temple was built into towering pink cliffs back-to-back with the Valley of the Kings, behind the Theban hills. The entrance to the temple complex is quite far so use the train provided especially if you visit the place during hot weather.
After Hatshepsut tour our guide took us to an alabaster factory, run by Luxor villagers.
We noticed that he was welcome here and got free tea and cigarettes. I believe that tour guides definitely get commission here, which in turn means higher prices for you.
In this factory, they do a fake demonstration in front of you, a guy grinding alabaster the old fashion way , serve a hot tea (to prolong your sipping time) and to increase your guilt level). They said that there is no obligatory purchase here etc.
We did buy here, at half the price originally offered (fortunately not much) but it is still 2-3 times much more expensive than the same stuff we later noticed in Cairo's Khan el-Khalili.
We also bought 3 pieces fridge magnets in one of the shops in Karnak Temple and again it's 2-3 times more expensive. Remember Luxor is much dependent on tourist industry (especially in this climate of low tourist) and that this is just business. As one of the tripadvisor member has said: "I feel deep sympathy for the people of Luxor, their desperation is clear for everyone to see. But their way of dealing with the lack of income is counterproductive, and makes things much worse"
So avoid these similar places (perfume factory, papyrus museum, carpet factory or alabaster factory) if you can, or unless you are pre-equipped with high haggling skills, resist guilt level and know the prices.
The Valley of the Kings is a valley where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom. At first glance there seems to be nothing to see in the valley, hidden behind the Theban hills; if not because of modern day pathways to access the tombs, the area looks lifeless. Towering above the Valley is a mountain, whose shape may have reminded the ancient Egyptians of a pyramid.
The tombs are tunnelled deep into the hillside (some reach hundreds of meters). There are 62 numbered tombs (by initial KV) in the Valley , ranging from a simple pit (KV 54) to a tomb with over 121 chambers and corridors (KV 5). Most were found already looted and ravaged.
Unlike the West Valley, the East Valley contains most of the tombs and is the most commonly visited by tourists.
Tourist access to the Valley is through a single gate entrance complex where a simple information hall, tourist market and ticketing office are clustered. The ticket is valid only for 3 tombs; a tomb keeper would punch your ticket against the access. So please go pre-armed with information on which tombs are found to be most interesting. No camera is allowed inside the tomb; I've seen at least two occasions were tourists caught by the guard for taking pictures. Please be aware that some tombs may be closed for preservation precautions.
Unfortunately, although it is almost a compulsory stop on most organized tours and the best-known of all tombs, tomb of Tutankhamun is an anti-climax. A separate ticket is to be bought for Tomb of Tutankhamun.
Check Theban Maping Projects for a detailed description, images, and map/plan of every single tomb in this valley:
Tombs Map & Plan (http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/sites/)
Our guide selected for us three tombs he thought of most interesting, and now pity I can't really remember except two and that I found it worth visiting: KV 14 (Tomb of Tausert and Setnakht) and KV 17 (Tomb of Seti I). The other most interesting tomb is KV 9 (Tomb of Rameses V and VI).
- KV 14: a joint tomb; a joint tomb, used originally by Tausert and then reused and extended by Setnakht. It has two burial chambers, the later extensions making the tomb one of the largest of the Royal Tombs, at over 112 metres.
- KV17: is one of the best decorated tombs in the valley, but now is almost always closed to the public due to damage. The longest tomb in the valley, at 137.19 metres.
- KV 9: Ramses VI took over the unfinished tomb of his predecessor, so he was getting a head start in construction of his own. Reaches 83m into the hillside and its wall richly decorated with complex illustration of the Book of the Dead ( a kind of guide to the afterlife)
We visited in April and it got very hot in the Valley. Do bring hat, umbrella, sunglasses and water. They provide several shades though.
Once we finished our business in the West Bank, our last stop would be Karnak Temple on the East Bank. We opted to take a lunch break and start the tour at 3pm to catch up our flight back to Cairo at 6pm and to avoid sunblasting walking tour in the temple
Fortunately enough Nefertiti Hotel allowed us to use one of the rooms to take a rest.
It is worth visiting Karnak twice: once in the evening for the excellent Sound and Light Show, and second time during the day when we can see the vast scope of the complex and look at its detailed inscriptions, reliefs or murals.
Entrance is by a processional avenue guarded by ram-headed sphinxes which leading to the first pylon and then the Great Court.
Two granite colossi of Ramses II guard the second pylon, leading to the Great Hypostyle Hall, famous for its 134 gigantic columns (with diameter up to 3 meters and 10 meters high). Further ahead are more pylons gateways leading to the oldest section of the complex. The most striking feature is the 29m Obelisk of Hatshepsut (one of the three remaining obelisks in the entire Egypt).
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle Kingdom and continued through to Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere.
Visit to Karnak concluded our one-day visit to this largest open-air museum. We're lucky enough to visit Luxor, and still amazed on the level of architectural feats of the Ancient Egypt. To me, Luxor is a must visit. Keeping all those tourist traps and hassles, a tour to these historical sites will definitely be an eye opening experience.
Thanks to Nefertiti Hotel and Aladdin Tour for their excellent service, knowledgable guide, and hospitality!
BTW, Luxor Airport has a very nice facade. Don't miss it.
2015 Egypt Trip: Day 5 Part 1 – Luxor Balloon Ride, Colossi of Memnon, Madinat Habu
"Is it scary Dad?" Fathan asked me before he was going to bed. We just wrapped our day in Luxor as we returned from Karnak Sound and Light Show, and prepared for a long day tomorrow, starting with a balloon ride. This is his first time.
The hotel staff told us to be ready at 4:20am for the balloon ride but three minutes before the time, telephone rang from the receptionist asking us to go to the lobby. The receptionist has also prepared 4 breakfast boxes as per our request. Then one guy asked us to follow him walking down to the river Nile, passing through an Egyptian tourist bazaar. There, a wooden boat waited for us. Few minutes later 2 couples, two staffs and one cameraman joined us and off we sailed 500m crossing the river Nile.
Arriving at the balloon launching pad, an open area close to the road to the Temple of Hatshepsut, we saw several balloons were getting prepared. One ballon was taking off when our ballon was being warmed. Soon after our pilot came and provided a short safety briefing, focusing on how to respond to crash landing. Wew…this only made Fathan more scared.
A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket , which carries passengers (our basket has 16-person capacity divided into 4 boxes, separated by a pilot and fuel cylinders area in the middle) and a source of heat (four propane cylinder with quadruple burners). The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. The pilot manages the flight by a combination of actuating a specific burner, and opening a vent. He also takes into consideration the prevailing wind.
The first balloon to take off was Sindbad then followed by our Salem balloon . Later while up in the air we found out that the Sindbad balloon ventured out close to the Nile while ours only maintained a close position to the Temple and vicinity.
In this 45 minutes floating over Luxor, we could see contrasting images of monotonous color of the desert and green-yellow farming area, peeked into a private life of the villagers, and enjoyed a golden rays of sunrise. Life is indeed totally different when it's seen from a bird eye view.
The flight took us from seeing the Valley of the Kings, and nearby Temple of Hatshepsut, then to Rammeseum, the Tombs of the Nobles, and Qurna Village.
The balloon finally made a soft landing on a different landing area and immediately a group of people jumped out of the truck, knowing what they've got to do.
On 26 February 2013, a hot air balloon carrying foreign tourists ignited and crashed here, killing 19 of the 21 people on board, making it the deadliest balloon accident in history. Since then, the industry has been under scrutiny. Choose only reputable and certified company.
Our van dropped us in a parking lot near Colossi of Memnon. We were then met by our guide, Hassan.
Hassan started his story of the two statues in front of us. He said that they are the statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and has stood for the past 3400 years (since 1350 BC). They were intended to stand guard at the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Colossi, however, very little remains today of Amenhotep's temple, due to annual inundations.
Madinat Habu refers to an area on the West Bank, Luxor, however it is well-known for its temple: The Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. The temple is an important New Kingdom period structure and is probably best known as the source of inscribed reliefs depicting the advent and defeat of the Sea Peoples during the reign of Ramesses III.
What amazing about the temple is its decorative structure including use of colors, details of relics and neatness of art workmanship. Majority of them are still well preserved.
The complex has three pylons. The first pylon leads into an open courtyard, lined with colossal statues of Ramesses III as Osiris (was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead) on one side, and uncarved columns on the other. The second pylon leads into a peristyle hall, again featuring columns in the shape of Ramesses. This leads up a ramp that leads (through a columned portico) to the third pylon and then into the large hypostyle hall (which has lost its roof).
As we were in the hypostyle hall, a man approached us to follow him to the tombs but we politely and consistently refused him.
Hassan told us a story of what the life looked like in the past including the use of middle area as a festival area where common people could come, and meet the King, and the inner areas where only nobbles and the King relatives could go in.
He made fun of the boys by asking them different names of Egyptian god and how they are represented on the reliefs:
– Anubis – a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife
– Horus – usually shown as a falcon or as a human child, linked with the sky, the sun, kingship, protection, and healing
– Isis – goddess of health, marriage, and wisdom
– Osiris – god of death and resurrection who rules the underworld and enlivens vegetation, the sun god, and deceased souls
– Ra – the foremost Egyptian sun god
– Amun – king of the gods and god of the wind
2015 Egypt Trip: Day 4 – Tahrir, Cairo – Luxor, Karnak Show
Today is our fourth day in Egypt. Our plan is to fly out of Cairo to Luxor, a city frequently characterized as the world's greatest open air museum .
We had until 10am in the morning before we checked out from Novotel. Not long before we're ready for a short walk across Tahrir Bridge. It was Saturday, traffic was expectedly low and quiet, and the weather was so pleasant. We leisurely walked on the bridge that spanning around 360m over the river Nile, down to Tahrir Square, and then back to the hotel. A good 30-min walking exercise before good breakfast at Novotel.
The flight to Luxor is only one hour. Egypt Air offers multiple flights daily (starts from 500 QAR return) including ones early in the morning from Cairo and late evening from Luxor; making Luxor as a quick weekend escape.
We stopped-by briefly at Wisma Nusantara Cairo for storing our luggages – we would stay here for two days upon our return from Luxor. This hostel is currently managed by the Indonesian students in Al Azhar University. From its guestbook it can be easily noticed that it's a favorite among Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei visitors and it's received positive feedbacks. Apart from the hostel, Wisma Nusantara hosts a rentable hall, offices for the Islamic activities as well as accommodations for its management. It may worth your consideration when you are planning to visit Cairo, so you can contribute to its sustainability. Its close location to Ganena Mall, KFC and QNB ATM and a short drive from the airport is also an added plus.

Luxor is a laid back small city, at the opposite contrast to chaotic Cairo. Its population (currently about half a million) is heavily dependent upon tourism. However, large numbers of people also work in agriculture such as sugar cane (clearly visible during the balloon ride and from a short ride from the airport to the city center).
Twenty minute van ride from the airport saw us Nefertiti Hotel , a small budget hotel where its affordable price doesn't correlate with its strategic location and very excellent staff services; winning accolades from TripAdvisor. Tucked away in the entrance to Luxor Market, Nefertiti also offered an excellent restaurant and incomparable rooftop seating area, overlooking Avenues of the Sphinxes, the Nile and the Theban Hills on the West Bank.
Via the hotel (who also manages Aladin Tours), we've booked one-and-half-day tour in Luxor; starting from Karnak Sound and Light Show at 7pm, and then balloon ride and the West Bank in the morning and Karnak Temple in the afternoon.
The sun has just set on the horizon with the Nile and the Theban Hills as backdrops; providing one of the unforgettable memories of sunset watching ever. Still enough time before we would be picked up for the Show in Karnak Temple, we chose to have early dinner in the rooftop; tasting what Egyptian Authentic Bedouin cuisines like. Camel meat dish, Egyptian style omelette, mixed grill, and umm ali were probably representable
The Show, in English, starts at 7pm. Karnak Temple is located about 3km north of Luxor city center. In the past, and we can see it today, Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple are connected by the Avenue of the Sphinxes. Some 1,350 sphinx statues are thought once to have flanked the path. Unfortunately this path is not well maintained the way I see it.
The show, which last for about one and half an hour, tells the history of Thebes and of the Pharaohs who built, extended the temple. Images of the Pharaoh were projected on the temple wall, accompanied by narration of the history of Luxor and the temple. Looking at the massive, grand temple in the dark, illuminated by the light of full moon above us seemed to throw us centuries or thousands years ago. The magical feeling of walking side-by-side to the floodlit 134 gigantic columns inside the Hypostyle Hall was indescribable.
Upon passing through the fallen obelisk (one of the three remaining obelisks in Egypt), visitors were escorted to seating areas by the Sacred Lake for the final history-telling show. That made up our fourth day!

President Obama gave his first speech on Libya to the American people Monday night, defending the US role in the coalition assault.
Afterwards, a group of USC students analyzed the speech in their "Current Challenges in US Policy and International Law" class.
"I think really just he made it very simple, and said 'we're trying to help the people, and we're trying to get done what we said we're gonna do and now we're pulling back and NATO is going to take control," states Aaron Inlender, 3rd year law student.
Local news from across Southern California
"It seemed that President Obama was trying to make a forceful case to support intervention, while really being mindful of the legacy of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan," according to Professor Josh Lockman, USC Law School lecturer.
Did the speech sway skeptics or just reinforce previously-held positions with this group of students?
"I was kind of on the fence about it, and I think he did a good job in allaying some of our fears," according to Bryan Leishman, 2nd year law student.

While many other potential 2016 contenders already offered their view on the Syrian conflict, Hillary Clinton had been quiet until now.
Report from MediaBistro:
In her first public comments on the crisis since President Barack Obama proposed military action in response to Syria's use of chemical weapons, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the Russian offer to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's weapons an "important step," but warned that Russia must demonstrate its sincerity to the international community.
"If the regime immediately surrendered its stockpiles to international control, as was suggested by Secretary [John] Kerry and the Russians, that would be an important step," Clinton said. "But this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction. Russia has to support the international community's efforts sincerely, or be held to account."
Clinton also defended Obama's push for strikes as instrumental in making such a political settlement possible.
"It is very important to note that this discussion that has taken hold today, about potential international control over Syria's stockpiles, only could take place in the context of a credible military threat by the United States to keep pressure on the Syrian government as well as those supporting Syria, like Russia," she said.
"Achieving a political solution that ends the conflict is in the interest of the United States," Clinton concluded. "It will require an intense diplomatic effort, guided by the road map that was agreed to by the international community in Geneva, last year, in June of 2012. There was an agreement we hammered out that pointed the way forward. We need to get to the opportunity to begin such negotiations to move toward a resolution."
She's attempting to sound like the most experienced, responsible person in the room right now. Did she succeed?

According to a report released today by real estate portal Zillow, nearly a third of U.S. homebuyers who purchased a property in the last two years now owe more than the home is worth.A whopping 30.4 percent of those who purchased homes in 2006 and 2007 have negative equity, largely because single-family homes posted a year-over-year decline of 5.5 percent, while condos slid a record 7.4 percent.
To highlight the severity of the problem, only three percent of those who purchased a home in 2003 currently owe more than their homes are worth.
Homeowners were hit hardest in areas like California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada, where home prices saw the worst declines and borrowers put little to nothing down.

Leslie Leong led the Blue with 15 points and six boards, while Malia Maier added a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists. Morgyne Weaver chipped in with 10 points and seven rebounds, while Ashleigh Sargent and Elisha Orama each recorded nine points.
Springfield was paced by 15 points from Meghan Biondolillo, while Kelly Slattery added 11. Kelly Murphy recorded eight points, including the 1,000th of her career. She finishes her tenure in maroon with 1,001 points, 14th on Springfield's all-time list. Leading the Pride on the boards, Tamara Tribble pulled down seven rebounds.
Tonight's win lifts Wellesley to 13-11 on the season. Springfield finishes the year at 12-14.
The Blue opened the game with hot shooting from the floor, including 10 points from Leong and six from Weaver, to grab a 22-11 lead midway through the period. The Pride responded with a 10 -3 run, highlighted by two threes from Biondolillo, to cut the lead to 25-21 with six minutes left.
Wellesley answered with nine straight for a 34-21 advantage before Murphy ended the Springfield drought with with a running hook at the 1:35 mark. The Blue added two more to take 36-23 lead into the locker room.

The squads traded buckets in the opening minutes of the second half, until a trey from Maier gave the Blue a 16-point edge with 14:45 remaining. Five minutes later, Maier hit back-to-back threes to give Wellesley its largest lead of the game at 54-33.
Springfield responded with a furious charge, using full-court defensive pressure and buckets from Slattery, Murphy, and Andrea Butler to cut the lead to 56-46 with 4:15 left. A layup from Slattery cut the lead to eight, but Wellesley rallied with four straight to push the lead back to 12 points as they cruised to a 66-54 win.

He was an organizer of the Social Credit party of Alberta and was elected (1935) to the provincial legislature with enough supporters to control it.

From I was diagnosed with an allergic disease to "Derm. Pteronyssinus" and "Derm. Farina" that my life changed at all. The most important thing living at home was the fact that my doctor told me to live like a monk: "it means don't have curtains, couches, carpets, rugs…" even I can't have a cat, which is the animal that I like more.
I go every month to the medical nurse for vaccinating me against these nasty little bugs. What most surprise me one day when I went to renew the prescription was the fact that I thought that on the vaccine there was them, but not, the vaccine contains their dirty excrements, which must be the substance to which I am allergic. Vaccine that, for the moment, serves for nothing to me, because I need to take every day antihistamines and spray nasal.
Luckily, for the moment I mustn't use a mask when going out at street as seen on TV that a lot of Japanese people do, but with this weird climate change and knowing that allergy spreads on other people too, it is not for being pessimistic, but we have a good and healthy allergic future ahead.

Who Got Robbed the Most at the 2015 Emmy Awards?
List Rules Vote up those who should have won their category at the Emmys, but didn't. Vote down the losers who deserved to lose. List includes top races only - drama series, comedy series, and the four main acting categories.
The 2015 Emmys saw some of the biggest names in television taking home statuettes, but for every big winner, there were actors, actresses, and shows who may have been just as deserving, or more, of a win this year. It's an awards race, after all. It was an unpredictable awards night at the Emmys, with many frontrunners and shoo-ins losing in their categories, but this list doesn't just cover those Emmy surprises, it gives you a chance to voice your disapproval of the results. Among all the losers, greatest actors of all time got robbed of an Emmy Award the most?
Jon Hamm finally won an Emmy for his performance as Don Draper, but other than that, the final season of Mad Men was virtually shut out on TV's biggest night. Amy Poehler missed out on her final opportunity to take home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work as Leslie Knope on Parks & Recreation, a role she played to perfection for seven seasons.With so few winners, there's no shortage of television luminaries who should have won Emmys in 2015, but this list aims to determine which ones were most Emmy-worthy. Which actors and actresses got burned? Which show was most under-appreciated at Emmys 2015? Vote, and tell us how it should have been.

Poker is a game of chance. However, when you introduce the concept of betting, poker gains quite a bit of skill and psychology. Poker is played from a standard pack of 52 cards. (Some variant games use multiple packs or add a few cards called jokers.) The cards are ranked (from high to low) Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. (Ace can be high or low, but is usually high). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs); however, no suit is higher than another.
Some games have Wild Cards, which can take on whatever suit and rank their possessor desires. Sometimes jokers will be used as wild cards, other times, the game will specify which cards are wild (deuces, one-eyed jacks, and so on).
Hands are ranked as follows (from high to low):
Five of a Kind – Only possible when using wild cards; it is the highest possible hand. If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher card wins (Five Aces beats five kings, which beat five queens, and so on).
Straight Flush – The best possible natural hand. A straight flush has a straight (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. As in a regular straight, you can have an ace either high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not 'wraparound'. (Such as K-A-2-3-4, which is not a straight). An Ace high straight-flush is called a Royal Flush and is the highest natural hand.
Four of a Kind – This had contains four cards of the same rank. If there are two or more hands that qualify, the hand with the higher ranking four of a kind wins. If, in some bizarre game with many wild cards, there are two four of a kinds with the same rank, then the one with the high card outside the four of the kind wins.
Full House – This hand contains three of a kind and a pair, such as K-K-K-5-5. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J. (Obviously, the three of a kind can only be similar if wild cards are used.)
Flush – This is a hand where all of the cards are the same suit, such as J-8-5-3-2, all of spades. When flushes ties, follow the rules for High Card.
Straight – This is 5 cards in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not 'wraparound'. (Such as Q-K-A-2-3, which is not a straight). When straights tie, the highest straight wins. (AKQJT beats KQJT9 down to 5432A). If two straights have the same value (AKQJT vs AKQJT) they split the pot.
Three of a Kind – Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a Full House. Again, highest three of a kind wins. If both are the same rank, then the compare High Cards.
Two Pair – This contains two distinct pairs of cards and a 5th card. The highest pair wins ties. If both hands have the same high pair, the second pair wins. If both hands have the same pairs, the high card wins.
Pair – One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties.
High Card – Any hand which does not qualify as any one of the above hands. If no player has a pair or better, then the highest card wins. If multiple players tie for the highest card, they look at the second highest, then the third highest etc. High card is also used to break ties when the high hands both have the same type of hand (pair, flush, straight, etc).
So, how do you bet?
Poker is, after all, a gambling game. In most games, you must ANTE something (amount varies by game, our games are typically a nickel), just to get dealt cards. After that the players will begin to bet into the pot in the middle. At the end of the hand, the highest hand (that hasn't folded) wins the pot. Basically, when betting gets around to you (betting is typically done in clockwise order), you have one of three choices:
Call – When you call, you bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (for instance, if you bet a dime last time, and someone else bet a quarter, you would owe fifteen cents).
Raise – When you raise, you first bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (as in calling), then you 'raise' the bet another amount (up to you, but there is typically a limit.) Continuing the above example, if you had bet a dime, the other person raised you fifteen cents (up to a quarter), you might raise a quarter (up to fifty cents). Since you owed the pot 15 cents for calling and 25 for your raise, you would put 40 cents into the pot.
Fold – When you fold, you drop out of the current hand (losing any possibility of winning the pot), but you don't have to put any money into the pot.

In Detail
Django is a high-level Python web framework that was developed by a fast-moving online-news operation to meet the stringent twin challenges of newsroom deadlines and the needs of web developers. It is designed to promote rapid development and clean, pragmatic design and lets you build high-performing, elegant web applications rapidly. Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, making it easier to build high-performance web applications faster, with less code.
This book will show you how to assemble Django's features and leverage its power to design, develop, and deploy a fully-featured website. It will walk you through the creation of an example web application, with lots of code. Each chapter will add new features to the site, and show what parts of Django to work on to build these features.
This book has been specifically written for Python developers new to Django, and it's goal is to help you put together Django applications as quickly as possible. This book will give you clear, concise and, of course, practical guidance to take you from the basics of creating pages with Django through to learning the skills that will make you a Django developer to be reckoned with.

Despite objections from Minda Home, South Australia's Holdfast Bay Council has voted to place the 100-year-old gum trees lining the driveway to Minda on their local heritage register.
Planted in 1862 by John Hodgekiss, to frame the approach to his former home, the gums are already protected under the Development Act.
This formed part of Minda's objection to the registration. Minda's Chief Excecutive, Cathy Miller, also objected on the grounds that council staff had not recommended the trees be registered and that Minda had received advice that they did not even meet the criteria for registration.
Because they are on the local heritage register, the trees cannot be removed unless they pose a risk to public safety. Minda was forced to remove nine of them earlier this year with council approval, after being advised by arborists that they were high risk.
Now that the trees are registered, Cathy Miller says Minda is 'considering its options'.

Sitecore 9 Forms is a powerful upgrade from WFFM. It provides a simple interface that allows the user to easily create forms on demand, and collect information from their visitors. For longer forms, the creation process can be a bit tedious and repetitive. This prompted me to leverage Sitecore PowerShell to create a script that will parse a JSON file and generate a form. Now the repetitive stuff can be managed via copy/paste. All of the scripts and an installation package can be found over at GitHub: Sitecore - Json To Forms. Continue reading to learn more about the thought process that brought these scripts to life.
There are many mechanisms for monitoring the health of Sitecore, but Heartbeat.aspx is the simplest. It is easy to monitor with third party tools and requires no knowledge of technological underpinnings. With the release of Sitecore 9, however, things have gotten a bit more complicated. Heartbeat checks every database, even unused ones. this can lead to false negatives and problems monitoring site health in different environments. Fortunately, there is a solution!
Sitecore 9 makes it really easy to incorporate federated authentication into the admin panel. A large portion of the process simply involves a few configuration changes. Included as a part of these configurations are the group-to-role transformation mapping. The ease of these changes are nice, however adding a new role requires configuration changes, which means a deployment or (at the very least) an outage of the site. I recently incorporated federated authentication (via Okta) into a system, and was irked by this requirement. This subsequently drove me to add some logic to allow the group-to-role mappings to be configured within Sitecore.
The Sitecore Community is buzzing with excitement over the new Sitecore 9.1. What's all the fuss about? Why is this new release worth upgrading to? Sitecore MVP and Senior Developer, Olga Kogan shares nine reasons current and potential Sitecore customers should consider upgrading.

Caring For Brunette Hair
Every few months I find my brunette hair needs a little boost in colour. Though with years of hair dye, I felt that I needed to look into proper hair care for my colour treated hair. While all hair colours have their own needs, I thought I'd share my brunette hair care routine for all of you looking to make your colour last longer.
I recently made the switch to using semi-permanent colorant, though to be honest I wouldn't have considered it if I realised I'd actually picked up the wrong box in Boots.. oops! We've all been there! It wasn't until then that I realised how much better it was for my hair and having it gradually wash out instead of seeing those roots coming through was well worth the switch.
My first choice for Semi-Permanent colourant is Nice n Easy No Ammonia in Dark Brown. I like this one as it generally lasts for 24 washes whereas the non-permanent version in the range only lasts 8. The colour always turns out the way I want it to and they always include conditioners to prolong the colour.
Once you're finished with the dying process, it's time to think about haircare. Aside from the odd colour prolong shampoo, I never really looked into what I should and shouldn't be using on coloured hair. However I've recently found the secret.. it's sulfate-free shampoo! The sulfates in normal shampoos can really strip your hair of your colour so the best way to prolong it is by going the sulfate-free route. Your hair will love you for it too!
My choice right now would be the Revlon Revlonissimo 45 Days Total Colour Care which is a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner free from sulfates. They have a product to suit each hair colour so the Sensual Brunette one would be my pick for brunettes. I also find that as it's a 2-in-1, you'll need to wash your hair much less thus resulting in prolonged colour.
I'd love to know what you all use to dye your hair or the ways you try to prolong your hair colour, feel free to leave your comments below!
Where to buy: Nice n Easy No Ammonia in Dark Brown - Boots (£4.50)

16 October (Part 1) - Scrutinising Resources
As I said at the time,
I didn't go to the Resources and Growth Scrutiny
meeting last week, I wasn't feeling up to it, the Agenda looked boring to me
and it is webcast, so is there any point in going when one can watch and listen from
home? Well I can tell you one reason, the webcast is technically appalling. I
thought the audio had been improved but it is nowhere near as good as I obtain
by being there with my little recorder. However I was right about the potential
for boredom and the only stand out moment came within the first five minutes.
After Chairman Andy Dourmoush noted that no members of the public were present Councillor Hall (Conservative, East Wickham) made the first noteworthy comment. He referred to the overspend in Adults' Services of £3·2 million this year paid for from the Contingency Reserves. Was it foreseen and will it happen again in future years he wanted to know.
Cabinet Member David Leaf (Blackfen & Lamorbey) said the budget was "complex" with "variables", he "monitors it very closely" and "the contingency is there". It was a typically inadequate response from Councillor Leaf.
Councillor Hall asked how much money was left in Contingency. The answer came from the Finance Officer. "About 2·4 million although some is already ear marked for other uses like the Winter Pressures".
Councillor Daniel Francis (Labour, Belvedere) noted that half the Contingency has gone before Winter has even begun. He asked Councillor Leaf if he was confident that he could manage the overspend.
The Cabinet Member said "we are looking into that" and "to be patient". Councillor Francis indicated that he thought the answer was inadequate.
Chairman Dourmoush issued a reminder that spending the Contingency is not the same as dipping into the Reserves.

The U.S. Constitution's Eleventh Amendment
The Eleventh Amendment, ratified in 1795, contains only 43 words, but it has been interpreted in at least four different ways. Here is what the amendment says:
The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
The Eleventh Amendment was passed to overturn the Supreme Court ruling in the 1793 case of Chisholm v. Georgia. Alexander Chisholm of South Carolina filed suit against the State of Georgia for breach of contract, seeking payment for goods supplied to Georgia during the War of Independence.
Georgia refused to play ball, saying that Chisholm couldn't sue a state without its consent because it possessed sovereign immunity from suit. The court didn't like this argument — not surprisingly, because it cut the court's power. The court found in favor of Chisholm and ruled that Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution took away the states' sovereign immunity because in the list of cases that could be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court that section included "Controversies . . . between a State and Citizens of another State."
However, such was the outcry against this decision that two days after the Supreme Court handed down its decision, a senator put a proposal before Congress that was to become the Eleventh Amendment. The intention of the amendment was never a secret: It was passed to stop a federal lawsuit from being brought against a state without its consent. But is that really what the Eleventh Amendment says?
There are four main interpretations of the Eleventh Amendment:
The simplest and most straightforward interpretation of the amendment reads it as saying that nobody can sue a state in federal court without the consent of the state concerned.
The second interpretation reads the amendment as permitting a state to be sued by a citizen of another state or of a foreign country, but not by a citizen of the state itself. According to this reading, the State of Utah can't be sued in federal court by a resident of Utah itself, but Utah can be sued by a resident of Nebraska or by a citizen of Outer Mongolia.
The third interpretation is exactly the opposite, excluding only lawsuits against a state by a citizen of a different state.
The fourth interpretation is broader. It says that in general federal courts can't hear cases against states, but Congress can take away a state's sovereign immunity. If Congress does so, that state is no longer protected against suits in federal court.
Cutting across these four different interpretations are four recognized exceptions to the ban on lawsuits against states:
A lawsuit can always be brought in federal court against a state's subdivisions, such as counties, cities, and municipalities.
A state can always consent to a lawsuit being brought against it in federal court.
Congress can abrogate — or remove — a state's immunity from suit in federal court, provided Congress's intention to abrogate a state's immunity is "unmistakably clear."
However, in the 1996 case of Seminole Tribe v. Florida, the Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution does not give Congress the power to abrogate a state's immunity from suit in federal court. This ruling calls into question the power of federal courts to hear lawsuits against states to enforce congressional legislation under the Commerce Clause relating to environmental law, bankruptcy, or intellectual property, to name but three major areas of commercial law.
If a state violates federal law, the state itself can't be sued in federal court — but a federal court can order state officials in their own name to comply with federal law.
This was decided by the Supreme Court in the controversial 1908 case Ex parte Young. This ruling was based on the fiction that a state official enforcing an unconstitutional state law is a private person — while still remaining a state agent when it comes to remedying the unconstitutional law! For example, in the 1993 ruling in Martin v. Voinovich, the high court ordered the governor of Ohio to construct housing for handicapped people to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The question that lies at the heart of the Eleventh Amendment is whether the individual states can still be regarded as possessing sovereignty: complete legal independence. This certainly was the position for the first decade of independence under the Articles of Confederation. But did this position continue under the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1788?
In short, are, say, Maine, Ohio, Kentucky, and Texas as independent of one another and of the U.S. federal government as, say, France, India, Brazil, and Australia are of one another? Clearly not, but they obviously have a high degree of autonomy nevertheless. If the states were indeed sovereign states in the fullest sense, immunity from suit would follow. Because they don't have full sovereignty, their immunity from suit is also only partial.

I have just finished making a couple of solar shades for the upcoming solar eclipse on March 9, 2016. These shades use a Baader Neutral Density 5.0 solar filter, a specialized filter sold in most astronomy shops.
If you do not have access to a solar filter, you may use instead what is called a no. 14 welder's glass, available in most local hardware stores.
Note that it is not safe to use other grades of welder's glass such as no. 10, 11, 12, and 13. Other improvised filters are also not safe. Use only either a commercially-available filter or a no. 14 welder's glass. Using substitutes such as X-ray films, photo negatives, sunglasses, dark or smoked glass, or any other make-shift filters will not protect your eyes from the Sun's harmful radiation.

Stressors, resources, and parent-child relationships of reentry sudents in a metropolitan area
Bidwell, Alice Susan
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to explore reentry students' perceived relationships with school-age children during the initial semester of return to undergraduate school. Change in student stressors, resources, and parent-child relationships were explored and demographic characteristics were described. In addition, predictors of parent child relationship (PCR) were investigated. A sample of 111 students beginning degree programs at one of four metropolitan Washington, DC colleges in September 1992 completed a mail survey before the semester began (T-1). Approximately 10 weeks later (T-2), 86 of these completed a follow-up questionnaire. Student resources were measured by the Rosenberg Self-esteem Inventory, a spouse support measure, and a social support measure. Stressors were measured by the Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes (FILE). PCR was measured by the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale, Index of Parental Attitudes, and Family Satisfaction Scale.
