Middle East Cyber War Timeline (Part 5)
Click here for the Middle East Cyber War Master Index with the Complete Timeline.
This week of Cyber War on the Middle East front, has shown a slight change on the Cyber Conflict trend. For the first time since January, psyops have deserved a primary role, maybe on the wake of the video released by the Anonymous against Israel one week ago. Not only the Jerusalem Post calls the video into question, but also argues that it may have been forged by Iran, identifying a state sponsored impersonation behind the entry of Anonymous in this cyber war.
But this has not been the only psyops event as an alleged message from Mossad to the Anonymous has appeared on pastebin, whose beginning sounds like a dark warning: If you want to be a hero start with saving your own lives. Although there are many doubts on its truthfulness, it deserves a particular attention since outlines a new age on psyops, what I call "pastebin psyops".
But a war is not made only of psyops, so this week has also seen more hostile actions, among which the most remarkable one has been the leak of 300,000 accounts from Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing. This action had been preannounced by a wave of attacks on primary Israeli sites (which targeted also the PM site), and most of all, has been carried on by 0xOmar, the absolute initiator of this cyber conflict.
Palestine has been targeted as well, and it is really interesting to read under this perspective a statement by Ammar al-Ikir, the head of Paltel, the Palestinian telecommunications provider according to whom cyber attacks on Palestinian websites and internet servers have escalated since Palestine joined UNESCO.
On the Iranian front chronicle report of a failed cyber attacks againstPress TV, Iran's English-language 24-hour news channel and most of all of a controversial statement by Gholam Reza Jalali, a senior Iranian military official in charge of head of the Iranian Cyber Intelligence, according to whom the country's nuclear facilities have finally been made immune to cyber attacks. And it is not a coincidence that in this week Iran has kicked off the first national conference on Cyber Defense. A matter that deserves a special attention by Tehran because of the growing number of attacks on Iran's cyber space by US and Israel. On the other hand, Israel did a similar move one month ago, at very early stage of the cyber conflict.

We're turning the final corner of the fantasy season and depending on your league settings you could be heading down a few different paths. Let's look at those who are gunning for a money spot in Roto leagues, or those entering the playoffs in H2H leagues. If you are in a tight league where every little stat matters, making the smart adds/drops could determine whether you are the league champion or just another one of the 10 or 12 disappointed losers.
Who's Hot
Mikael Samuelsson – Has Samuelsson hit the jackpot or what? Last week he found himself spending 79.7 percent of his ice-time alongside both of the Sedin twins. In eight contests since the Olympic break, he's amassed 13 points, a plus seven rating, eight PIMs, and a whopping 47 SOG while averaging 16:47 per contest. What's also astounding is that in the last four contests, the Swede is averaging 18:52 per contest, 4:38 of which is with the man advantage, with the Sedins. At 73 percent Yahoo! owned, Samuelsson probably isn't that widely available, but if you can get your hands on his services, he's bound to make a positive impact on your fantasy squad.
Lee Stempniak – If you haven't caught the Stempy hype yet, you better hop on board fairly soon. The newly acquired Coyote has seven points in five contests despite averaging just 13:19 per contest for the desert dogs. The trio of Vernon Fiddler, Taylor Pyatt and Stempy have accounted for nine of the 18 points that the Coyotes have put up in the last three contests. Phoenix is in a great position to make the post-season this year, so expect them to lean heavily on the trio for the final stretch of this season. At nine percent Yahoo! owned he should be fairly easy to acquire as a roster upgrade.
Jakub Voracek – Voracek has been red-hot of late as he has 14 points in the last 12 contests. In the last 10 contests, he has spent 29.7 percent of his overall ice-time alongside Derick Brassard and R.J. Umberger, which does show that he has a decent set of line mates to play with. The amazing thing is that he's averaging just 16:24 per contest, which doesn't really justify his current production rate. If he can gain Claude Noel's trust and garner even more ice-time, I'd expect his production to skyrocket even more. His 2:59 average per contest on the PP certainly provides plenty of upside for you to pick him up immediately.
Fedor Tyutin – Sticking with the same team, Tyutin has also made the list as a strong pickup candidate. He's tallied five points, while averaging 22:42, in the last four contests. The Jackets offense seems to be clicking as captain Rick Nash recovers from lower body/flu injury as they have potted 13 goals in their recent 3-1 record. His 4:00 PP ice-time per contest is probably amongst the defensive leaders in that department for the last week. The Jackets are 13 points behind the eighth place team out West, which means that they're all but mathematically out of the playoff hunt, but you never know, they might be able to get hot and win 10 or 11 out of their remaining 12 contests and manage to sneak in.
Andy McDonald – McDonald has gone on a point-per-game pace for the last nine contests while averaging 2.66 SOG per contest during that span. He's spent just under half of his overall ice-time alongside both David Perron and Patrik Berglund while picking up 4:05 per contest of PP time for the Blues. I'm not a big fan of what St. Louis has done by spreading out the offense, but it appears that Andy Mc should be on top of that heap for the rest of the way.
Peter Mueller – The Coyote/Avalanche deal appears to be a win-win situation as both parties seems to be enjoying their new acquisitions. Mueller has the benefit of dual eligibility in Yahoo! leagues, which provides that extra little flexibility in terms of setting your roster on heavy scheduled days. Mueller has eight points in six contests since joining Colorado on trade deadline day and has spent 94.5 percent of his overall ice-time alongside youngster Matt Duchene. He has also seen a bit (10.5 percent) of ice-time alongside the Avs top PP unit of Duchene, Mueller, Paul Stastny and Chris Stewart, which should equate to a few PPP the rest of the way. At just 15 percent Yahoo! owned, he should currently be available of in plenty of leagues.
Jason Arnott – The 16-year NHL vet hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoresheet, but he has put up fairly decent across-the-board numbers since the Olympic break. Arnott has a line of six points, minus four rating, four PPP and 25 SOG in eight contests. If you pro-rate his current rate for the final 13 contests, he would have a line of 10 points, six PPP and 40 SOG, which would surely be a useful upgrade on the seven players mentioned below.
Who's Not
Jason Blake – I had high hopes for Blake when he was dealt to the Ducks in early-February, but he certainly hasn't been impressive as he only has five points in 13 contests playing for Anaheim. Those numbers definitely don't justify his current 60 percent Yahoo! owned rate, so if you are a Blake owner, it might be wise to cut bait and pick up one of the players mentioned above instead.
Brad Boyes – The Mississauga-native has just four points in 17 contests dating back to the end of January. During that span he has also averaged just 2.29 SOG per contest, which is probably unacceptable for a player who should be producing at a much higher rate. Definitely not justifiable for a player that's currently 57 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues. Do as I have, cut bait and never look back.
Sheldon Souray – The guy's going to be out for the rest of this season with a hand infection. The Oilers have nothing to play for, so why hang onto him in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Drop him already.
Joffrey Lupul – Same deal with Loops... He's developed an infection in his back after surgery and won't be returning to the Ducks' line up this season. It's probably safe to drop him for those 35 percent of owners who are still hanging onto him.
Jay Bouwmeester – I'm going to let all you Dobberities into the biggest secret in fantasy hockey. Jay Bouwmeester is the most over-rated player in fantasy hockey. If you look at the historical numbers, he has never had a season in which he has tallied greater than a 0.57 point-per-game pace. JBO is a defensive player first, then offense, so expect around a 40-45 point production from him, but nothing more and stop treating him as if he's a 55-60 point Dman. His current 135 SOG pace probably won't change his seasonal numbers all that much for the rest of the way. If you are a JBO owner, I'd definitely make the swap for Tyutin straight away.
Mike Ribeiro – Ribeiro hasn't been the same since the Olympic break. He had a 0.83 point-per-game production rate prior to the Olympic break but just 0.71 since. His SOG numbers have also taken a dip from 2.46 pre-Olympic to just 2.00 post-Olympic. The Stars are struggling offensively as they have only scored 16 goals in their recent 1-5-1 skid. I would gladly make the swap for McDonald, Jochen Hecht, or Tyler Bozak for the remainder of this fantasy season.
Brian Campbell – Campbell was viciously checked into the boards by Alex Ovechkin, and probably won't be returning for the rest of this season. If you don't have an IR slot available, it's probably a smart time to drop him outright. A few healthy options might be, Tyutin (mentioned above), Tyler Myers (50 percent Yahoo! owned), Carl Gunnarsson (zero), Sami Salo (21 percent), or Ryan Suter (56 percent).
With head-to-head playoff hockey pools being as tight as they are, a single point here, a PIM there, and a SOG possibly could make or break your fantasy season. That's why it is essential to take advantage of the players that you have at your disposal, and cut loose any of the dead weight that might be dragging your fantasy squad down. After all this is your last opportunity to claim the crown even though you might not have had a great regular season. It's not about emotions, but purely based on stats from here on in. Good luck! See ya next week, if you are still alive in your leagues.
Ryan Ma said:
It might be obvious to you Adrian, but ask how many people invested heavily on JBO at the drafts thinking he's the next Pronger/Chara when he signed on in the off-season and slated to play alongside Dion Phaneuf.
The fact of the matter is that he is over-rated, in every league there is always that 1 person that thinks he's a 55-60 point guy and will overreach for him at the drafts. Yes telling you 69 games in is probably too late, but at least I can give a heads up to you guys for next season when you decide between player A and JBo to go with player A instead...
Also you're looking at the numbers solely from this season that he isn't a 40-45 point guy... 46, 42, 37, 42 for the previous four seasons tells me otherwise.
Also you maybe knowledgeable with JBo's situation, but his 85% Yahoo! owned rating, tells me that 6 out of 7 leagues people are still hanging onto him without just reasoning. I'm writing this column to let those people know that hey if you drop JBo it probably won't hurt you as much as you may think. So it might be obvious to you, but maybe not to the general fantasy hockey public.

I picked up Koci in the finals of my H2H last year (for $) against the Pens (outbid my oppenents by $1 that night, daily changes) he had 15 PIM that night and was the difference in winning and losing the league.
Adrian Keogh said:
FYI, he isn't close to a 40-45 point guy, he has 10 in the last 40, that is even with his hot streak when Dion left and he was getting top PP time?

487 Seaport Ct, Redwood City, CA | Directions 9406337.502795 -122.210855
Monday To Thursday From 11:30 AM To 09:00 PM Friday From 11:30 AM To 10:00 PM Saturday From 04:00 PM To 10:00 PM Sunday From 04:00 PM To 09:00 PM
seafood best – We went to Bella by the Bay for dinner a few weeks ago. I hadn't been out to that area since "Clark's by the Bay" was there in the early 80s, which, I found out, is now Bella's. The people were really nice, service was good. I got the steak and fried shrimp combo for $26 and it was disappointing. Not much to the steak, plus it was medium-rare and I ordered medium-well. My wife got the seafood pasta and it was very good, a lot of seafood in it. We'll return, but I'll stick to the pasta.
great getaway – We are so glad Bella reopened.
Bella is the perfect quiet place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. The servers don't rush you and are not overly attentive. The food is fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced, with great atmosphere (on the water)
The restaurant is large yet intimate and not to noisy. The perfect Friday night or weekend get away
(get there early on weeknights for happy hour and have a drink or two before dinner with someone you love or go for a walk out back along the marina.)
If a noisy atmosphere, fast food, or fast service is what you seek, Bella is not for you. Sit down, soak it in and enjoy the evening. We love this place!
Good food, on the water, relaxing atmosphere, friendly service, good prices, what's not to like!!
See you soon................Michael
Great Place for parties, banquets or wedding reception – A few months ago I had my wedding reception at Bella by the Bay. My husband and I chose this restaurant for our reception because it's one of our favorites. What better place to have your event. It's the best value around for this type of event too. We were on a tight budget, yet wanted a really nice reception. And that's exactly what we got.
We started with drinks and appetizers on the patio facing the water while we had our wedding sake ceremony in the gazebo next to the patio. It was a nice sunny day out, so it was a perfect setting. Plus they have glass wind shield to block any winds. Then we went inside for dinner, etc. The service was impecable, the food was delicious. We had the main dining area downstairs reserved for our guests which was right next to the bar and even had a nice size dance floor next to the dining area. All the guests had a great time and complemented the wait staff and the food. At the end of the night the restaurant staff even helped clean up and made sure we didn't forget anything. So if you're looking for a place for your wedding or other event with a great view, and hospitable, friendly service where you don't have to ask for anything and don't feel like waiters are intruding, and a place with delicious food and a full bar, THEN CHECK OUT BELLA. You won't be disappointed. And you definitely can't beat the price.
Horrible! – We will never come back to this restaurant.
We waited for a long time to be seated. The seating area dirty and the customer service was very bad. We were seated near the bar area and several customers were watching the baseball game on TV when some woman sat down and asked the bartender to change the channel which he did. The customers started to get upset, the manager was called in and he basically told us there wasn't anything he was going to do and he wasn't changing the channel, and then he sat down with that woman!! I guess he showed us--that was he final reply to our dilemma--If we didn't like it oh well!
The food poorly prepared, and if you want to be treated badly, and eat food which is not good and be treated by your servers and management as if you were second rate, then please go you will probably enjoy this place. UGH!
I was shocked and quite frankly confused by your review. It appears that you had a terrible experience but fortunately it is not possible that the experience was with our restauraunt. Our restaurant suffered a fire over the holidays and was closed from 12/13/07 thru 06/20/08. Your review was posted 01/30/08.
Your average bar food – From the description, I thought this might be a mid-scale restaurant. In actuality - it is just your average bar food served in a better atmosphere and surrounding. I ordered the prime rib which was overcooked and fatty. It was a good thing I did not paid the full $22 as it was on special. Salad was OK and so was the fried oyster appetizers. Service staff was good but not enough to bring up the food quality. If you want a good steak - just go to a national chain like Outback or Lonestar. To be fair - I did not try their seafood. But if you going to put prime rib house on your name - it should be above average.
Stale Crab and Poor Service – We were attracted to try out this restaurant due to a B1G1 entree promotion through a company discount card. We confirmed it at reservation time and at ordering time that we can use the discount card, but when we were about to pay our bill, they refused to honor it! The reason is out of the 4 entrees that we ordered, 2 of them were their specials. I believe they would've refused it regardless even if you have only 1 person out of a party of 20 ordering a special. It would have been nice if the waitress did not misinform us though. Serving of the entrees are quite slow, food is mediocre, some appetizers are ok portion, some on the small side. The worst part is the crab in my crab cioppino smells and tastes stale. I don't believe a good seafood chef would ever serve a crab that smells stale. Waitress is not particularly friendly either.
The pros about this restaurant is they do have a nice view and some decently (or more reasonably) priced specials. So if you are budget minded, want to dine at a restaurant with a nice view (which applies only before sunset), and don't care about your food too much, it doesn't hurt to try it out.
However, if you're expecting great seafood, there are much better places around the area.
A Great Find – Arrivederci & Bella restaurant was a great find for us newcomers. We've gotten window seatings all three times we enjoyed dinner there. Everything we've ordered, especially fresh seafood, has been prepared and served well. It's our favorite restaurant outside of San Francisco.
Editorial Review – Bay views accompany a dinner menu including prime rib, lobster, pasta and more, plus pizza, sandwiches and salads for lunch.
hidden gem – Been there twice...first a disaster. Seated ourselves, waiter never gave us anything and another waiter questioned his abiltiy in front of us and other table had left since they waited so long. An hour from time to order to get the food, had to ask for everything at least twice.
Second time...seated by hostest who tried her best to get us a window seat. Prompt service and only asked for anything once or not at all such as water. Food was GREAT and you canNOT beat the value. $12 for prime rib, potatoe, veggies, and bread. Dipping au jus and horse radish included. I don't know what nkwan is saying but prime rib is SUPPOSED to be fatty....marbeling for you chef types out there. And the VIEW....overlooks the bay and the 92 bridge and a little marina. VALUE in the bay area?!?!!? i WILL repeat
Overpriced for a fatty steak – The service at Bella was very slow. It took us an hour to get our steaks. The steaks were not even top quality like the menu said it would be. It was more fat than meat in the steak. We also didn't get any refills on our water and drinks. When we tried to get the waiters to come to us, we got their attention and they said they would be right over. They didn't come over for 20 minutes. I would never go back there again.

The Mark of Nerathby Bill Slavicsek
It is a time of magic and monsters, a time when only a few scattered points of light glow with stubborn determination amid a rising tide of shadows. It is a time when only the bravest heroes dare tread the wild of the unknown... About a century ago, the collapse of Nerath, the last empire of the world, ushered in a dark age that continues to this day, the peace and prosperity of the past seemingly lost forever. However, even those fabled days weren't without a few blemishes. One of these was Emperor Magroth the First, a tyrant and a conqueror; cruel, ambitious, filled with delusions of grandeur and dreams of destiny, and more than a bit insane. During Magroth's reign, rumors of necromancy and demon worship were rampant, but the truth was far worse. Thanks to deals he made, pacts he agreed to, and rituals he performed, death was not the end Emperor Magroth. Instead, a piece of him was drawn into the Shadowfell where he became the ruler of a domain of dead. From this vantage, the old king prepared for his return--and the new empire he would forge from the ruins of old. Now Magroth has made a new deal with Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath, that frees him from his eternal prison for a year and a day. In that time, Magroth must re-establish his ancient kingdom while also accomplishing a series of terrible tasks for Orcus. To this end, Magroth's plans intersect with two other threats that are rising in the world. Where these threats meet, the world shudders. And it falls to our heroes to keep the fragile lights of civilization burning for another day

Medicine Walkby Richard Wagamese
By the celebrated author of Canada Reads Finalist Indian Horse, a stunning new novel that has all the timeless qualities of a classic, as it tells the universal story of a father/son struggle in a fresh, utterly memorable way, set in dramatic landscape of the BC Interior. For male and female readers equally, for readers of Joseph Boyden, Cormac McCarthy, Thomas King, Russell Banks and general literary. Franklin Starlight is called to visit his father, Eldon. He's sixteen years old and has had the most fleeting of relationships with the man. The rare moments they've shared haunt and trouble Frank, but he answers the call, a son's duty to a father. He finds Eldon decimated after years of drinking, dying of liver failure in a small town flophouse. Eldon asks his son to take him into the mountains, so he may be buried in the traditional Ojibway manner. What ensues is a journey through the rugged and beautiful backcountry, and a journey into the past, as the two men push forward to Eldon's end. From a poverty-stricken childhood, to the Korean War, and later the derelict houses of mill towns, Eldon relates both the desolate moments of his life and a time of redemption and love and in doing so offers Frank a history he has never known, the father he has never had, and a connection to himself he never expected. A novel about love, friendship, courage, and the idea that the land has within it powers of healing, Medicine Walk reveals the ultimate goodness of its characters and offers a deeply moving and redemptive conclusion. Wagamese's writing soars and his insight and compassion are matched by his gift of communicating these to the reader.From the Hardcover edition.
Complicityby Adam Sol
A dazzling and exhilarating new collection of poetry from an award-winning Canadian poet. For fans of Ken Babstock, A.F. Moritz, and Karen Solie. Award-winning poet Adam Sol's fourth collection is a meditation on complicity. By turns intimate and lyrical, experimental and outlandish, the collection focuses us on how we cannot escape the troubling structures that determine our lives. How do we identify ourselves with communities - national, cultural, or local - while aware of the violence which underlies their arrangements? How do we pursue love when we know how fraught and imbalanced gender politics is? How do we continue to value art despite the prevailing rhetoric that considers it a marginal discourse? The poems are funny, allusive, off-kilter, and sonically rich, while crucially interrogating, lit with, the contemporary ethos.
The Ageby Nancy Lee
The Age, Nancy Lee's electrifying debut novel, follows her celebrated story collection Dead Girls.Set in Vancouver in 1984 as Soviet warships swarm the Atlantic, The Age tells the story of Gerry, a troubled teenager whose life is suddenly and strangely catapulted into adulthood. Confronted by her mother's newest relationship, confusion about her father's abandonment, and anxieties about a looming nuclear incident, Gerry finds a kind of belonging with a group of misfits planning a subversive protest at the city's upcoming peace march, but her fascination with their leader and her struggle with sexual identity create a rift between Gerry and her best friend, Ian. Bolstered by her grandfather, an eccentric news anchor in the throes of a bitter divorce, Gerry tries to put herself at the centre of the group's violent plot. As the days leading up to the rally accelerate, Gerry finds herself escaping into a post-nuclear dystopia of her own creation. Her real life and fantasy life alternate until a collision of events and consequences forces her towards life or death decisions in both worlds. At the heart of the novel is Gerry's combative yet tender relationship with the older Ian, as she both yearns for and rejects his protectiveness towards her until it's too late. Stubborn, tough, and unaware of her vulnerability until tragedy occurs, Gerry navigates a razor's edge of emotion and events. The Age is at once a heartbreaking journey through adolescent recklessness and desire and a portrait of a generation shaped by nuclear anxiety. Bold, original, told with piercing observation, mordant wit, and the same fearlessness that earned Dead Girls international acclaim, its arrival confirms Nancy Lee as one of Canadian literature's most thrilling and compelling voices.
The Licence of Warby Claire Letemendia
This second thrilling novel featuring Laurence Beaumont, the seductive, sardonic protagonist introduced in The Best of Men, blends history and fiction in a seventeenth century alive with intrigue, passion, violence, and wit, from the embattled court of King Charles I at Oxford where poisonous rivalries fester, to stately country estates and the colourful underworld of thieves and whores. 1643: England is descending into a bloodier Civil War, and Beaumont, born a nobleman's heir but with a shadowy past as a mercenary turncoat and spy, has been hired against his will as agent to the King's new Secretary of State, the manipulative Lord Digby. Still madly in love with the bewitching Isabella Savage, Beaumont is sent by Digby into enemy-held London to track down his counterpart, Parliament's twisted spymaster, who nourishes his own, very personal desire for revenge. Already Beaumont suspects he can trust no one, not even Isabella, who has deep ties to Digby. As power struggles seethe within the Royalist camp and Beaumont's tenuous faith in the King's cause is further eroded, he becomes haunted by nightmares portending two deaths: of the King, and of the Prince of Wales, for whom Beaumont cherishes a strong, protective bond. At home, as his father's health weakens, Beaumont's duty is to choose a respectable wife and carry on the ancient line, though to give up Isabella will devastate him. Worse yet, a visitor from his mother's Spanish past appears with a long-buried secret that could ultimately destroy the Beaumont family.
Falling Out of Timeby David Grossman Jessica Cohen
Following Grossman's widely acclaimed novel To the End of the Land, a national bestseller and Globe and Mail Best Book, this is a fable of parental grief -- a powerfully distilled exploration of understanding and acceptance. David Grossman, a writer whose exceptional humanity, grace, and sheer brilliance as a storyteller have earned him acclaim around the world, has created an inspiring, compassionate, and genre-defying drama -- part play, part prose, and a fable of pure poetry -- to tell the story of bereaved parents setting out to reach their beloved lost children. It begins in a kitchen, in a small village, where a man is speaking with his wife about their loss. He announces that he is leaving, and he embarks on a walk in search of his dead son. Slowly, more and more people are drawn to him, joining him on his ever-widening circular journey around the town. Little by little, the reader realizes that the people of this anonymous town are also mourners, each having to endure their own bereavement. Inspired by the tragic loss of David Grossman's own son, in combat, Falling Out of Time asks, Can one overcome death by sheer speech or memory? Is it possible, even for a fleeting moment, to free the dead from their death, to call to them and make them present once more? Grossman's answer to such questions is a hymn to people from all walks of life -- from a Net-Mender to a Duke -- who ultimately find solace in their community of shared grief and in a kind of acceptance they could not have reached without coming together.

Meanwhile, Norman finds himself embroiled in the affairs of an attractive neighbour, with unexpected consequences.

Trying Not to Tryby Edward Slingerland
A deeply original exploration of the power of spontaneity--an ancient Chinese ideal that cognitive scientists are only now beginning to understand--and why it is so essential to our well-being Why is it always hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? Or be charming and relaxed on a first date? What is it about a politician who seems wooden or a comedian whose jokes fall flat or an athlete who chokes? In all of these cases, striving seems to backfire. In Trying Not To Try, Edward Slingerland explains why we find spontaneity so elusive, and shows how early Chinese thought points the way to happier, more authentic lives. We've long been told that the way to achieve our goals is through careful reasoning and conscious effort. But recent research suggests that many aspects of a satisfying life, like happiness and spontaneity, are best pursued indirectly. The early Chinese philosophers knew this, and they wrote extensively about an effortless way of being in the world, which they called wu-wei (ooo-way). They believed it was the source of all success in life, and they developed various strategies for getting it and hanging on to it. With clarity and wit, Slingerland introduces us to these thinkers and the marvelous characters in their texts, from the butcher whose blade glides effortlessly through an ox to the wood carver who sees his sculpture simply emerge from a solid block. Slingerland uncovers a direct line from wu-wei to the Force in Star Wars, explains why wu-wei is more powerful than flow, and tells us what it all means for getting a date. He also shows how new research reveals what's happening in the brain when we're in a state of wu-wei--why it makes us happy and effective and trustworthy, and how it might have even made civilization possible. Through stories of mythical creatures and drunken cart riders, jazz musicians and Japanese motorcycle gangs, Slingerland effortlessly blends Eastern thought and cutting-edge science to show us how we can live more fulfilling lives. Trying Not To Try is mind-expanding and deeply pleasurable, the perfect antidote to our striving modern culture.From the Hardcover edition.
What Are You Hungry For?by Deepak Chopra
Basis for the upcoming PBS Special!After promoting this message worldwide for thirty years, bestselling author Deepak Chopra focuses on the huge problem of weight control in America with exciting new concepts. What Are You Hungry For? is the breakthrough book that can bring weight under effortless control by linking it to personal fulfillment in every area of a reader's life. What are you hungry for? Food? Love? Self-esteem? Peace? In this manual for "higher health," based on the latest findings in both mainstream and alternative medicine, Deepak Chopra creates a vision of weight loss based on a deeper awareness of why people overeat - because they are trying to find satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real fulfillment. Repudiating the failed approaches of crash dieting and all forms of deprivation, Chopra's new book aims directly at the problem of finding fulfillment. When that problem is solved, he argues, normal eating falls into place automatically, and the entire system of mind and body achieves what it really desires. "Everyone's life story is complicated, and the best intentions go astray because people find it hard to change," writes Chopra. "Bad habits, like bad memories, stick around stubbornly when we wish they'd go away. But you have a great motivation working for you, which is your desire for happiness. I define happiness as the state of fulfillment, and everyone wants to be fulfilled. If you keep your eye on this, your most basic motivation, then the choices you make come down to a single question: "What am I hungry for?" Your true desire will lead you in the right direction. False desires lead in the wrong direction." Wherever you are in life, this book will help point you in that right direction.
The Wet and the Dryby Lawrence Osborne
A "stylish and engaging...fearlessly honest account" (Financial Times) of man's love of drink, and an insightful meditation on the meaning of alcohol consumption across cultures worldwide Drinking alcohol: a beloved tradition, a dangerous addiction, even "a sickness of the soul" (as once described by a group of young Muslim men in Bali). In his wide-ranging travels, Lawrence Osborne--a veritable connoisseur himself--has witnessed opposing views of alcohol across cultures worldwide, compelling him to wonder: is drinking alcohol a sign of civilization and sanity, or the very reverse? Where do societies and their treatment of alcohol fall on the spectrum between indulgence and restraint? These questions launch the author on an audacious journey, from the Middle East, where drinking is prohibited, to the West, where it is an important--yet perhaps very often a ruinous--part of everyday life. Beginning in the bar of a luxury hotel in Milan, Osborne then ventures to the Hezbollah-threatened vineyards of Lebanon; a landmark pub in London; the dangerous drinking dens on the Malaysian border; the only brewery in the alcohol-hostile country of Pakistan; and Oman, where he faces the absurd challenge of finding a bottle of champagne on New Year's Eve. Amid his travels, Osborne unravels the stories of alcoholism in his own family, and reflects on ramifications of alcohol consumption in his own life. An immersing, controversial, and often irreverent travel narrative, The Wet and the Dry offers provocative, sometimes unsettling insights into the deeply embedded conflicts between East and West, and the surprising influence of drinking on the contemporary world today.

In his bold debut, Anthony Marra proves that sometimes fiction can tell us the truth of the world far better, and far more powerfully, than any news story. You will not forget the world he creates--A Constellation of Vital Phenomena and its characters will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbeyby The Countess of Carnarvon
Full-color photographs included throughout.Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story behind Highclere Castle, the real-life inspiration and setting for Julian Fellowes's Emmy Award-winning PBS show, and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants, Lady Almina, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon. Drawing on a rich store of materials from the archives of Highclere Castle, including diaries, letters, and photographs, the current Lady Carnarvon has written a transporting story of this fabled home on the brink of war. Much like her Masterpiece Classic counterpart Lady Cora Crawley, Lady Almina was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Alfred de Rothschild, who married his daughter off at a young age, her dowry serving as the crucial link in the effort to preserve the Earl of Carnarvon's ancestral home. Throwing open the doors of Highclere Castle to tend to the wounded of World War I, Lady Almina distinguished herself as a brave and remarkable woman. This rich tale contrasts the splendor of Edwardian life in a great house against the backdrop of the First World War and offers an inspiring and revealing picture of the woman at the center of the history of Highclere Castle.

In case you haven't noticed, it is E3 week. That means that the gaming-masses have descended upon Los Angeles to check out everything that the various video game companies have in store for us over the next 12 months (and perhaps beyond). One of the titles that is undoubtedly drawing a lot of attention this year is Silicon Knights and Activision's X-Men: Destiny. The new title, due out this fall, marks the first full-fledged X-Men game to grace the mainstream consoles since 2006's movie tie-in, which many of us would rather forget. A couple of weeks back, select members of the press were given a preview of the E3 presentation for the game. Although we weren't allowed to actually play it for ourselves, we were treated to a narrated gameplay session by some of the PR staff at Activision which highlighted some of the features and aspects of the game that had yet to be revealed to the public at that time. Fortunately, now that E3 is here, I can share with you a detailed description of exactly what I saw and what everyone else is being shown in LA as we speak..
X-Men: Destiny is a 3rd person action game set in the current Marvel-universe timeline. The game will present the origin(s) stories of three, all new characters in the X-Men / Marvel universe. The game is set in modern day San Francisco, although this isn't the same San Fran that you and I are familiar with. In the Destiny world, the landscape of the city has been altered by recent earthquakes and other natural disasters that have plagued the area alongside an outbreak of hate crimes against the mutant population(s). The story of the game is written by Mike Carey, reigning writer on some of the current X-Men story arcs. Mike's inclusion in the project should ensure fans of the dedication and accuracy being put into the game.
As with his other works, Destiny has a darker tone and feeling to its narrative, which focuses on the concept that our destinies are unwritten. It is up to all of us to shape and mold our future based on the decision that we make and the actions that we take in the world. The E3 demo opens up with Aimi, a young 15-year old mutant, arriving in Chinatown, fresh off of her voyage from Japan. Aimi is just one of the three characters that players will be able to choose from before they set off in their adventure and the only one that we were shown in the demo. Aside from selecting your base character, players will also be able to select one of three separate "power sets". These sets will determine the style of play that you character develops over the course of the game. In this scenario, Aimi has been equipped with the "energy projection" set of powers.
The world that surrounds you is apparently a hostile one as members of a militant, anti-mutant group called the Purifiers begin assaulting you immediately upon your arrival. Almost immediately, groups of soldiers begin impeding your progress past your initial landing. The early parts of the level really show off the mission and combat elements of the game. Tasks / missions will be given to your player as your progress, giving you instructions on necessary actions that must be done to proceed through the different areas. One of the first tasks given to Aimi is to dispatch a set number of enemies, in this case 21, before she can move forward. This mission gave us our first good look at the game's combat system. Players are given a combination of both light and heavy attacks, which can be strung together to form different combinations. Depending on the strings that you put together, different finishing combos will emerge.
Some of the finishing combinations that we witnessed were rather flashy and all were devastating to the opposition. Some of them, such as the "radius attack" was not only visually impressive as Aimi sent a circular shockwave outward towards multiple enemies, but proved beneficial in tearing through more than one enemy at a time. Other moves were shown such as the Ion Pillars and Ion Lance attacks, all results of different light and heavy attack combinations. As more and more combinations are completed and enemies defeated, the player builds up what is referred to as the "End Power" meter, which slowly unlocks their most deadly attacks. As with everything else in the game, these attacks are based on a combination of the X-genes (which will be explained shortly) that you have collected and the power set your character has been outfitted with. The higher that the gauge fills, the deadlier the moves are that you can perform. As you progress through the game, you will discover new attacks which can be equipped to utilize the end power gauge.
The game appears to play a lot like Sucker Punch's inFAMOUS series which I consider a compliment in the highest degree. As though your environment is just as important as your individual offensive and defensive maneuvers. The world features many interactive objects such as benches and light posts, all of which can be used to your advantage with a developed strategy. The text overlays used during gameplay make a debut in this portion and they are really sharp (looking). The text is reminiscent of the descriptive text used in comic book panels and it appears to float in the environment around the player; even better, after a few short seconds the text becomes interactive and players are able to smash the words by hurling enemies into them during their battle(s). This really created a nice, immersive effect that engulfed you into the comic book world.
After battling through a couple of waves of enemies and completing the initial mission, Aimi stumbles upon a key component of the game known as X-genes. Anyone familiar with the X-Men universe should know that X-genes are the essence of the mutant population. These DNA components dictate what makes someone a mutant and what determines the type of power(s) they will have. A primary focus of the X-Men: Destiny gameplay will be the collection and management of X-genes. Although the Aimi used in the demo has a focus on energy projection, the collected X-genes can alter the elemental property of her projections. Perhaps she will collect an X-gene of Iceman, giving her powers more of an arctic / ice aspect or maybe Pyro, which will focus her abilities on the projection of flames. Players will be able to collect a wide variety of X-genes throughout the game and equip up to 4 at one time, each affecting a different trait of the character. Each gene is based on an iconic X-Men / Marvel character; some of the examples that are shown include Iceman, Surge, Pyro, Gambit, Toad, Magneto, and Quicksilver. The different combinations of X-genes will help create vastly different characters, altering the experience for each player each time through the game. In addition to X-genes, you will also be able to collect a variety of "fan suits" which will tailor the look of your custom character to that of iconic Marvel figures as well. Combining the full set of X-genes and the fan suit of a single character will result in a boost in your character's abilities while they are equipped.
In this case, Aimi finds an X-gene for Surge. In the Marvel world, Surge has the power to control electrical currents and now that she has possession of his X-gene, Aimi can now add an electrical effect to her powers, such as the ability to stun enemies and an increase in effectiveness against mechanical enemies. At this point, it becomes even more clear just how bad of shape the world is currently in; the world is evolving and changing as you play in response to the constant earthquakes and other devastating natural disasters. Aimi continues through a series of environments battling through enemies before meeting a group of NPC's that she needs to assist, one of which evolved into a new mini-escort mission where the player needs to escort one of them to safety. This appears to be your standard escort mission which requires you to fend on a constant onslaught of attackers as you move from point A to point B. I will say, however, that the AI of the character you are escorting seemed to be better than that which I have experienced in other games. He seemed to stay out of your way and was content in finding safe harbor while you took out your assailants. Thankfully, he worked with you rather than against you.
Even though the game focuses on the story of three, all-new mutants, the world is filled with familiar faces for those with some knowledge of the Marvel world. The first character that we ran into during the demonstration was Northstar, of Alpha Flight fame. All iconic characters are given an introduction that includes a brief glimpse at the profile and background information on their powers and affiliation. The presentation is very well done and seamlessly intertwines with the action. Northstar, along with the other Marvel personalities featured in the game, opens up opportunities for secondary objectives and new challenges for the player. They will also fight alongside you during your time with them.
After meeting Northstar and witnessing his participation in the course of battle for a few moments, the demonstration jumped forward to a stage a little further into the game. This new section showed off one of the games many large-scale boss battles. The scene is prefaced with the fact that you have infiltrated a secret laboratory where many mutants have been kidnapped and taken. These captured mutants and being used for experimental purposes by the infamous U-Men, a group intent on cleansing the world of impurities and leveling the playing field between mutants and non-mutants. Eventually, after battling your way through the facility, Aimi comes face to face with the leader of the U-Men, Dr. John Sublime. In an attempt to stop you from destroying all of his hard work, Dr. Sublime injects himself with one of his on serums containing a synthesized X-gene. In this case, the stolen X-gene that he uses has been derived from Colossus. As a result of the injection, Dr. Sublime mutates into a much larger, monstrous version of Colossus.
After a lengthy game of cat and mouse, Sublime is eventually worn down by the speed of Aimi, which is derived from the combination of Quicksilver's X-genes and his fan suit. The resulting power boost not only increases Aimi's movement speed, but her attack speed and agility as well. Wearing Sublime down doesn't lead to his defeat, it only angers him further. At this point in the battle, he injects himself with yet another synthesized X-gene. This time the serum is derived from Quicksilver, as he intends to match your speed and remove your advantage from the battle at hand. Sublime now begins utilizing the electrical equipment in the room to restore his energy. Thankfully, quick-witted players will discover that they can manipulate the mechanical panels on the edge of the screen to shock him during his recharging session. Immediately following the quick zap, Sublime will immediately lunge at the player like a charging bull. A correctly timed jump by the player counteracts this attack and results in sublime crashing into the electrical panels you were manipulating, giving him the shock of his life. This sequence occurs a few more times before Sublime again goes back to his bag of tricks for yet another dose of synthetic X-genes.
The final dosage gives Sublime the electrical abilities of Surge. It should also be noted that with each dosage that he has taken, Sublime has continued to increase in size. At this point in time, he takes up nearly the entire screen and becomes nearly impossible to escape. Aimi now has to use his size against him and dodge his attacks until he catches himself in the mechanical wirings near the ceiling. The player must now scale the different parts of the environment up to his head-level in order to land effective attacks on him. After a few more rounds of the cat and mouse, game, this battle is drawn to a close as Aimi delivers her final blow to Sublime, finishing him once and for all.
Following the battle, players are treated to the bread and butter of the X-Men: Destiny experience: a moral decision. Following a short cut scene featuring Collosus and Gambit, Aimi is left to make a decision that will favor either the X-Men (Colossus) or the Brotherhood (Gambit). The battle has led Aimi to the possession of Sublime's technology and she can either destroy it and stop the unnatural spread of mutant abilities or turn it over to Gambit so that the Brotherhood can use it in the battle against all those who challenge mutant-kind. Your decision in moments like this determine not only the current events happening in the game, but the shape of the story further down the road. Both sides of the choices in the game will present you with valid arguments to support their side; nothing will be simply black and white. Depending on the decision(s) that you make, you will earn what are called faction points, which will lead you towards either the X-Men or the Brotherhood. They will also determine what opens up to you in the road ahead; depending on your decision, different objectives and X-genes will be available for you in the future. It is pretty apparent that you will need to play this game multiple times if you want to see it all.
After a collective vote of those in attendance, it is decided that it would be for the best if you chose to destroy the discovery. Aimi smashes the container holding Sublime's technology on the ground, which excited Colossus but cause visible anguish in Gambit. Before departing the facility, Gambit reminds you that you have made your choice, and now everyone will have to live with it. Before the game is over, players will need to decide if they are going to join up with the X-Men or the Brotherhood and the ability to do so will be determined by your choices along the way.
I really like what I have seen of the game so far. Even at this early stage, there is a nice level of polish and a great presentation style used throughout. The game may feature numerous RPG-style elements but it seems to play like a standard 3D brawler, akin to something like God of War or Darksiders. I think that the inFAMOUS comparison is going to be thrown around more and more as the game is shown over the course of this week. As I said before, that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Stay tuned to Gaming Nexus in the coming months as we lead up to the Fall 2011 release of X-Men: Destiny. The game will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS by the end of the year.

Rough stone
By Jenny Penny
from Guelph Ontario
I have several pieces of Jay King Jewellery and I treasure each item.I have wanted to buy these as a gift but sent them back when I noticed the rough edge on one earring.The colouring was white,obviously this flaw had not been noticed by quality control.I will still purchase from this line as I have never had a problem with the quality before.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In The Star
Jan. 21, 1938, in The Star: A representative of the Alabama Hospital Service Plan, an insurance plan approved by the State Legislature in 1935, visited Anniston today to talk about the plan and to encourage more participation in it. Operated on a non-profit basis, the subscription plan offers an individual 21 days of hospital care, all services included, in return for the payment of 60 cents a month by that individual. A slightly higher subscription obtains private room services. In addition, participating hospitals charge 25 percent less than their standard rates. Garner Hospital in Anniston is a participating institution. Also this date: Leonard H. Roberts was elected president of the Anniston Country Club last night by unanimous vote of its members gathered for their annual meeting. Additionally: A new rule in college basketball recently eliminated the center jump after field goals, but the team physician at Northwestern darkly warns that the new speed thus injected into the game stimulates heart action of the players to a dangerous degree.
Jan. 21, 1988, in The Star: "Technology will, as ever, move much faster than the ability of policymakers to cope with it," technophile and futurist John Diebold writes in today¹s installment of his predictions for the year 2010. "Abortion should have been rendered virtually unnecessary by simple and safe contraceptives for male and female. However, I expect the same conservative groups that oppose abortion will also oppose the legalization of new contraceptives."
