"Reading [Tom] Friedman, I was motivated to learn more about the Muslim view of world history. I found a remarkable guide in Tamim Ansary's Destiny Disrupted."
Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns
"Ansary has written an informative and thoroughly engaging look at the past, present and future of Islam. With his seamless and charming prose, he challenges conventional wisdom and appeals for a fuller understanding of how Islam and the world at large have shaped each other. And that makes this book, in this uneasy, contentious post 9/11 world, a must-read."
Dave Eggers, TheRumpus.net
"I'm in the middle of Tamim Ansary's Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World through Islamic Eyes, and it's incredibly illuminating. Ansary pretty much covers the entire history of Islam in an incredibly readable and lucid way. I've been recommending this book to everyone I know. Especially when people are looking for a comprehensive-but-approachable way to look at world history through the lens of Islam, there's no better book."

"An amusing and anecdotal survey of Islamic history"
San Francisco Chronicle, January 4, 2011
"[The fire] was roaring nicely, and I was seated not far from it, reading "Destiny Disrupted" by Tamim Ansary, which is the perfect book for someone who knows hardly anything about the history of the Muslim world and feels that, really, what with things the way they are, a little more attention to detail would be useful. It's one of those "fascinating new fact every paragraph" books. Would you like to know how the Shiite-Sunni schism happened? It's all here. Rumi the poet? He's here. Empires, sultanates, wars, atrocities, cities of great beauty now lost forever, the whole deal. Even the chapters on theology are enjoyable, and I'm not big on the minutiae of belief systems."

He has the right background to speak about, and to, both cultures: Born in Afghanistan to an Afghan father and an American mother, Ansary emigrated to the U.S. in his teens and went to Reed College in Portland, Oregon. He has lived in the U.S. ever since, with trips back to Afghanistan and the Middle East.
I was fascinated by the book's discussion of Islam's early years in the 7th century, the discussion of Islamic reform movements in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the compassionate overview of the conflict between the Arabs and the Jews in the Middle East.
For that long-running disaster Ansary assigns blame and plenty to everyone involved, and I mean everyone -- including the British, the Americans, the Russians, and the Saudis. And that's just for starters.
His evaluation of the Six Day War in 1967 is eye-opening; he argues that it was a military triumph in the short term but did more harm than good to Israel in the long term.
I was hungry for a longer discussion of the meaning and impact of 9/11 from an Islamic perspective, and I hope the author will do that in some other publication. That aside, this is the perfect book for readers wanting a readable, friendly, big-picture story of how Islam came to be and the religious and cultural frameworks that shape its view of world history.
We desperately need more informed, compassionate, and wise writing of this nature from Mr. Ansary, who has lived in both worlds and can help each understand the other.
The European outline of history has always been the westward succession of leadership, from Greece to Rome to northern Europe to America, a viewpoint of manifest destiny that has justified much imperialism and jingoism. An Islamic history, Ansary says, would be an expansion from a center, rather like ripples spreading from the event of the Hijra in 622 AD, an expansion that should have been destined to encompass the whole world. For the first thousand years of this history, it was perfectly plausible for the most educated classes of Islamic societies to maintain such a viewpoint, Ansary maintains. But then that 'destiny' was disrupted by the unforeseen economic and technological revolutions of the rude barbarians of Europe. Such a perception of history, as a calamitous disruption of the proper order of things, underlies the resentment and hostility of Muslims throughout the Middle World toward the West.
Ansary writes very simply. His prose would pass muster for a high school textbook. But his simplicity is eloquent and lucid.Read more ›
Most histories I've read, whether it be H. G. Wells' Short History of the World/ Outline of World History, or the book I read recently titled A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years suffer from the sin of Euro-centrism (like most standard world maps, I might add). For the period from just before the birth of Christ to the 'end of history' announced by Fukuyama at the end of the Cold War, they focus on first the Roman Empire, then its decline, and then the continent of Europe with brief forays into Asia Minor and the Levant. These histories tend to oversimplify things like the Hun or Mongol invasions as "barbarians coming from the East", as though these tribes appeared in the middle of nowhere fully formed and attacked "civilization".
This is why Tamim Ansary's book is a refreshing departure. He focuses on the other world history - the history of first Islam, beginning with the life of the Prophet Mohammed, the Khalifate(s) that followed and then the fortunes and misfortunes of the Eastern Empire centered on Istanbul and its inheritance.
I found it telling that rather than treating Islam (in his words) as part of a set also containing Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism etc, OR as part of a set also containing Communism, Capitalism, Socialism etc, OR as part of a set of civilizations - Roman, Western, Eastern, Indian, Chinese etc, he treats it as another history, whose jagged edges fit into the Europe-centered world history that most of us learnt in school.Read more ›

Recorded on August 16, 2012
From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Ernest Istook.
Former intelligence operatives have issued a video and also plan TV ads, complaining about national security leaks in the Obama Administration.
As one of them says, "Mr. President, you did not kill Osama bin Laden. America did. The work that the American military has done killed Osama bin Laden. You did not."
He adds, "As a citizen, it is my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy. It will get Americans killed."
They note that the White House revealed sources, methods, and even the name of the dog that was used in the raid. Also leaked was the story of the computer virus used by Israel and the USA to delay Iran's nuclear weapon program.
The soldiers say now is the only time people will pay attention to their video. President Obama's campaign says it's obviously done for political reasons.

Reese Witherspoon keep warm with cosy beanie as she grabs a green drink before heading out for lunch with filmmaker Mike White
She is a busy mother to three children.
But Reese Witherspoon still manages to look the height of style day in and day out.
The 37-year-old was biker chic in tight Koral jeans, a leather jacket and black booties as she grabbed a healthy juice in Brentwood on Tuesday, before heading out for lunch with filmmaker Mike White.

The Oscar winner showed off her petite frame in the figure-hugging jeans as she left a baby class with son Tennessee (not pictured) before walking over to the juice bar.
Reese wore a simple black top underneath the jacket and warded off the chill with a cosy grey beanie.
She shielded her eyes with black sunglasses and wore her shoulder-length blonde hair loose and straight.

She also reunited with her Walk The Line co-star Joaquin Pheonix in the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson, Inherent Vice.

US Soldiers Shot in Yemen Ambush
90 "al-Qaeda" Reported Killed in the Past Week
Militants attacked a truck full of US troops today in southern Yemen, wounding at least two of the "special forces" soldiers who had been deployed into the war-torn nation on a "training" and advisory mission.
Ansar al-Sharia took credit for the attack, saying that they waited for the soldiers to leave their hotel and shot three of them, one of them being shot in the neck. Local officials put the toll wounded at only two, saying one was shot in the neck and another in the leg.
Meanwhile, Yemeni warplanes pounded the city of Jaar, which is part of the Ansar al-Sharia held territory around Abyan Province. At least seven soldiers were killed today in the fighting, and officials said over 90 "al-Qaeda" were slain in the past week.
The US has been heavily backing the current Yemeni offensive, and by some accounts the "trainers" have been coordinating the attacks. US drones have also launched a number of the attacks.

Peter Mayhew to reprise role as Chewbacca in "Star Wars: Episode 7"
April 8, 2014 - 11:34 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The trio of new leads for Star Wars: Episode VII has yet to be revealed, but an actor from the original franchise is returning to reprise his role. Peter Mayhew will play Chewbacca for Disney and Lucasfilm's upcoming sequel, The Hollywood Reporter said citing sources.
Mayhew played the legendary Wookiee and Han Solo's co-pilot in the original trilogy, beginning with Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope in 1977. Rumors recently surfaced that he was reprising his role after he canceled an upcoming appearance at Texas convention Comicpalooza "due to filming." Since the convention takes place May 23-26, many fans wondered if that meant the actor would be busy with Episode VII.
Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn revealed on April 2 that the new Star Wars had already begun filming and most of the cast was set. "We have a lot of them [in place]," he said about the main actors, whose names have not been disclosed. "We're just not completely done yet."
Star Wars: Episode VII, to be directed by J.J. Abrams and slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2015, has been shrouded in a thick veil of secrecy, with dozens of names flying through the rumor mill for months now. THR reported that Adam Driver will be playing an undisclosed villain. Original stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher also are said to be reprising their roles. In March, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger said the new project would begin filming in May and will be set 30 years after the events in 1983's Return of the Jedi. "There will be some very familiar faces along with a trio of new young leads," he said during Disney's annual shareholder's meeting in Portland, Ore.
Mayhew, who also played Chewbacca in prequel film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, has mainly spent his career playing the iconic character, but also appeared in the horror film Terror and did voice work in the British version of Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy. He's repped by Entertainment Legends Management and Cohen & Gardner.
Disney and Lucasfilm had no comment.

July NPD: Wii Reigns Supreme, Xbox 360 Edges Out PS3
Posted by Steve Van Neil Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, Nintendo, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Portable/Mobile, PSP, Sony, Wii
According to the latest NPD report, the video game industry generated almost a billion dollars of sales in the month of July. Nintendo's Wii led the charge with an absolutely astounding 425,000 units sold. The Wii was followed by the PS2, which sold 220,000 units. The Xbox 360 sold 170,000 units, once again beating the PS3, which sold 159,000 units. On the portable side of things, the Nintendo DS sold a whopping 405,000 units, while the PSP moved 214,000 units. Overall console sales are up almost 43% from this period last year.
All of this begs the question: Where are people finding the Wii in such great numbers? I haven't seen one in a store since the beginning of the year, but somehow Nintendo keeps selling hundreds of thousands of them every month.

Red Sky Lyrics
Artist: Crematory
Album: Revolution
Awakend by death no escape
marked by pain no compassion
born from the ashes turned into dust
executed by the evil
forever despoiled eaten by fire - no mercy
Red sky - red blood - red eyes
the longing hand of faith
red sky - dead land - black rain
without your gods blessing
Red sky - red blood - red eyes
the longing hand of faith
red sky - dead land - black rain
Shattered by life no change
haunted by bad luck no escape
ripped out of the soul in the name of god
tormented by heaven extracted from blood
eaten by fire - no refuse
Shattered by life awakened by death
no change, no escape haunted by bad luck
marked by pain - no escape - no compassion
Ýňî ěî˙ ńŕěŕ˙ ëţáčěŕ˙ ďĺńí˙.

This is just what I wanted. It is exactly as pictured - a Mahogany wood-colored "float" frame. I purchased it for hanging on the wall and it came with the sawtooth hanger on the back which made it easy to put up. The quality is fine - it is an inexpensive picture frame and nothing fancy. Pure and simple, what you see is what you get.
Thank you for your feedback.

Sound Off
Sound Off: Who is responsible for repairs to the gutter between a driveway and the street? Not the curb on either side of the driveway but the portion of the gutter that the vehicles cross to get into the driveway — in my case, the crater. The city website has forms to report gutters and potholes but neither seem specific to this situation.
Megan Gilliland, the city's communications manager, provided this information: Typically the city is responsible for curbs including the section in front of a driveway. However, if the driveway was not installed to city specifications and does not have an isolated curb section, it would become the responsibility of the property owner. Contact the Street Division, 832-3031, so crews can review your situation.
LadyJ 4 years, 2 months ago
If you have a sidewalk, think before you call the city, you might get more (expense) than you bargained for. If you don't, you can bet the city will say it's your problem.
Brian Thomas 4 years, 2 months ago
Have the city specs changed over time? If the specs change can the city now claim it is the owners responsibilty even if it was built properly at the time? If they werent built properly at the time (whole subdivision) did the city do anything about it then?
Angela Heili 4 years, 2 months ago
We just got bags of river rock and filled the void where the asphalt has eroded away in front of our driveway. It works great. We figured the city won't do anything about it anyway. They can't even seem to keep up on the roundabouts they've installed that are crumbling. I'm not going to hold my breath that they will fix this.
Scott Morgan 4 years, 2 months ago
We can view the Italian Roman ruins and see less concrete erosion. The city leaders should really put some flesh to the fire regarding the poor paving a cement works in this town. uuummmmmmm RD Johnson what you say about that?

text: Turnaround Play "The market rewards improvement," Cramer told viewers, as he highlighted Newell Rubbermaid ( NWL), a company that has been struggling for ages but now may be poised for a major turnaround. Last week, Rubbermaid reported terrific quarterly results, sending shares up 8%. Cramer said that Rubbermaid has brands that we all know and love, brands like Rubbermaid, but also Calphalon in the kitchen and Sharpie at the office. This means that the company will benefit from the growing home improvement trend as consumers beef up spending on their homes. But Rubbermaid is about more than just a rise in consumer spending, said Cramer, it's also about a major restructuring. The company has pared down its business divisions from 13 to just nine and has organized them into just two groups, consumer and professional. That means a drastic reduction in its bloated costs including redundant sales forces and overhead. Cramer said that Rubbermaid is now also a lot less hostage to rising resin and natural gas prices thanks to the continued diversification of its product lines. The company's CEO also has "street cred," said Cramer, after being a winner in consumer products for many years. After losing nearly 85% of its value from 2007 to 2009, shares of Rubbermaid currently sell for just 10.3 times earnings with the company's 9% growth rate. Cramer said the company derives only 10% of its sales from the ailing Europe and has the ability to boost its dividend after a 69% cut in 2009 and another 21% cut in 2010. Cramer said his bottom line is that sometimes the real winners aren't "A" students, they're "D" students that are turning themselves into "B" students. Discretionary Spending Trade Kicking off a new series entitled "Show-Off Stocks," Cramer turned the spotlight onto what he called a multi-year trend towards increased discretionary spending. His first show-off stock was Brunswick ( BC), the world's No. 1 maker of boats and other discretionary items like billiard tables and bowling equipment. Cramer explained that boats and boat engines account for 75% of Brunswick's sales and that means that investors can make boatloads of money from this growing business. While competitors have been hit hard by the recession and have closed dealers, Brunswick has been taking share and has seen its dealer count increase slightly. Additionally, the average age of a powerboat in the U.S. is up to 21 years from just 15 years, meaning a large portion of older boats are likely to be upgraded in the near future. Boats may the be ultimate in discretionary spending, but with shares of Brunswick trading just under $21 a share and off its $50 highs just a few years ago, Cramer said this stock has room to run. Brunswick is trading at 11 times earnings with a 13% growth rate, he said, and the company also has a strong exercise and bowling business to boot. Prev 1 of 3 Next

My 5-year old son loved the prose and could relate to both the older (good eater) and younger sister (picky one). He talked about becoming a member of the "Foodie Club" for days and now uses the term when his little sister won't try something new.
The illustrations are vibrant and fun and the little "extras" at the back of the book make the price well worth it.
The illustrations are charming - cudos to Holly!

I have not even been to Cozumel yet - we will be traveling to Cozumel next year and I love it already. I am addicted to your site and love the live web cam. Your site is the first thing I pull up in the morning. Cant wait to get to Cozumel! Thank you!
Laura Randall ~ Marshalltown, IA - USA
(02/27/2016) - Hubby and I stayed at IslaMar for the Month of February (as we did last year) and are already missing it. Sherri and staff are awesome, very accommodating. We met some new friends and got in touch with others we had met over the few years. Love that we are away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, but still within a good walk. Checked out a few new restaurants to add to our list and still lots more to try.
C. & J. Wood ~ Saint Catharines, OB CAN
Staying at IslaMar gave us a wonderful insight into the culture and daily life of Cozumel. The sounds and smells of the neighborhood became familiar and comforting. We adored Zuri and wish that we could take her home with us. The efforts of the staff were extremely helpful in dealing with a foreign environment and were greatly appreciated. Cozumel has enriched our lives with a memorable experience! Gracias!!!
Richard & Judy N. ~ Camino, CA
Stay (03/22/2011) - Enjoyed our visit to Cozumel and staying at IslaMar. It is nice to be off the beaten path, but a culture shock for Midwestern USA. You staff was GREAT. Thanks.
Keith & Jane M. ~ Ohio & Florida
Just returned from Cozumel where we participated in the FP&M Turtle Salvation program and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guides picked us up at our hotel right on time. They were very nice and one spoke fantastic English. Being able to participate in the extraction of newly hatched baby sea turtles from their nests and then watching them scurry into the ocean was so amazing. There were 4 nests hatching that evening so we were interacting with baby turtles for several hours. Those little turtles are SO adorable and so VERY determined to get to the water. This activity exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and wants to help this endangered species. It is awesome that cozumelinsider.com donates its resources to handle the bookings for this activity to help raise funds for this great cause. Thanks for an awesome experience!

The Covenant softball team could not snap its losing streak on Wednesday afternoon as the Lady Scots fell twice to Huntingdon, the USA South's second place team. The visiting Hawks took game one 10-1 in five innings and then claimed the second game 8-0 in six innings.
Covenant falls to 8-20 overall for the season and 3-15 in league play. Huntingdon improves to 17-10 and 13-3 in the USA South, good for second behind Piedmont.
The first game was a tightly played contest until the fifth inning. After falling behind 1-0, Covenant rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the fourth. Jordan Brett doubled to lead off the inning and later advanced to third when Lauren Johns reached on a fielding error by the Huntingdon second baseman. Madison Quirk followed with a sacrifice fly to deep center field that enabled Brett to score from third.
But in the top of the fifth, Covenant committed five errors and the visiting Hawks took advantage of the mistakes scoring nine runs on five hits to take a commanding 10-1 lead.
Cori Hilt (5-10) went all five innings and allowed just two earned runs on 10 hits. Katy Messick (6-2) gets the win for Huntingdon after she allowed one run on three hits in five innings of work.
Brett, Chandler Shepherd and Meagan Hess had one hit apiece for the Lady Scots. Gabby Alcantar led Huntingdon by going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs in the first game.
In the day's second game, Huntingdon scored singled runs in the first and third innings before opening the game up with a five-run fifth inning as the Hawks took an 8-0 win.
Jade Reynolds went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run for Huntingdon. Holly Ostrander also went 3-for-3 in the victory.
Morgan Lane had two of Covenant's six hits as she finished 2-for-3. Brett, Johns and Quirk each had a hit apiece. Hannah Rogers (3-10) took the loss after going 4.1 innings and surrendering four earned runs.
Huntingdon's Brooke Meadows (8-3) notched the win with five scoreless innings. Anna Stephens threw one scoreless frame for the Hawks.
Covenant's doubleheader scheduled for Thursday with Sewanee was rescheduled for Tuesday, April 15. The Lady Scots will host Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon beginning at 2 p.m.

A-Viking You Should Go,
This review is from: The Long Ships: A Saga of the Viking Age (Paperback)
English literature began with a Viking story, "Beowulf," but have you ever tried reading it? My own "Beowulf" experience led me to believe Viking literature is right down there with Viking cuisine in terms of digestibility. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a novel about Vikings, written over half a century ago, to be as thrilling, fantastic, and engaging as "The Long Ships."
It's the story of Orm, a farmer's son in southern Sweden in the late 900s who one day finds himself a prisoner of a merry gang of Vikings. They quickly adopt him, and set out for adventures off the northern and southern coasts of Europe. Before the book is half over, Orm has found himself in courts from Spain to England, espoused three different religions, slain several dozen foemen, and found a princess to be his bride.
Frans G. Bengtsson's novel, originally published in Sweden in 1945, showcases two things I didn't expect from a Scandinavian academic, brevity and humor. Sure, the book is nearly 500 pages long, but Bengtsson crams a lot of incident in every page, describing events in broad strokes and letting the reader's imagination do the rest. Bengtsson's style, preserved marvelously by Michael Meyer's 1954 translation, is to consciously evoke the elliptical prose of ancient Viking sagas, but in such a way as to allow for a modern, tongue-in-cheek sensibility to come through, one that reflects a Viking world, however hard-bitten, of great wit and depth.
"The Long Ships" is marvelously quotable: "For no man complains of the weight of the cargo, when it is his own booty that is putting strain upon the oars." Or: "Only poets can win wealth with empty hands, but then they must make better songs than other poets, and competition spoils the pleasure of composition."
The book jacket includes an enthusiastic reviewer describing "man-size helpings of battle and murder, robbery and rape," which captures some of the tone of "Long Ships" but misses most of the point. Orm is no savage bandit, but a thoughtful, evolving character of great honor. The Vikings he travels with do some robbing and killing, but in a measured way. As the novel goes on, a sense of social responsibility, manifested in Orm by his adoption of a somewhat twisted form of Christianity, comes through.
You might say the story of Orm is the story of the Christianizing of Scandinavia, told from a rather neutral viewpoint that respects Christianity's mellowing influence without being blind to its flaws in practice. You might also call it a straight-up adventure yarn of many threads. After a battle, Orm and his comrades may retire to a feasting hall to hear stories of brave deeds that fill pages and then never come up again. Or else we might get stories like that of a pair of jesters, forced to entertain the slayer of the king they loved, who come up with a marvelous form of vengeance right out of Monty Python.
One thing you can't call "The Long Ships" is dull. Even when Orm is not actually at sea (he actually spends a good deal of time raising a family on a farm), the book stays busy. Some old enemy is trying to take his head off, or else he is having another marvelously circuitous exchange with his dyspeptic priest friend, Father Willibald.
And the voyages Orm takes are a lot of fun, encompassing as they do the whole of the known world at that time, from Ireland to the Dnieper River and many points in-between. While a work of fiction, Bengtsson finds ways of introducing a lot of relevant Dark Ages history, even if some of it, like an enjoyably arch Y1K scare, may not be 100% accurate.
Other books are fun to read. "The Long Ships" is a book to get lost in. You will feel like a teenager again as you take the long way home with Orm, enjoying his simpler yet wondrous time and wishing the world could have stayed so forever.

text: After recording a series of ambient pop demos in a shed on his parents property during the summer of 2012, 22-year old Mark Lombardo (under the moniker Titanics) turned many heads in the Albany, NY music scene. Unlike most of the standard rock and hip-hop acts in the capital of New York at the time - Titanics offered a fresh and peaceful sound through the use of synthesizers, electronic beats and warm pads. After recruiting long time friend Derek Rogers to record guitar on the debut album Soft Treasure (released February 2013) momentum began to pick up and Titanics quickly became the band to watch in Albany. Creating a vibe that is both visual and peaceful, Titanics assembles layers of percolating pads held together by tight beats with Lombardo's smooth vocals and Rogers' guitar work woven into the abyss.
