Al-Futtaim Motors, exclusive distributor of Lexus in the UAE, has launched today the 2016 Lexus LX 570 luxury SUV in the UAE, featuring a sweeping upgrade on the exterior, interior, safety features and drivability.
2016 Lexus LX570 launched in Dubai by Al Futtaim Motors
First of all the price in the UAE : The 2016 Lexus LX570 starts from AED 385,000 and reaches AED 450,000 in full trim.
The new LX 570 has been further reinforced through the restyled front design wearing an even bolder rendition of the Lexus signature spindle grille, complemented by distinctive new standard triple full LED headlights. The rear design features a powerful stance expressed through the side silhouette and rear fenders.
As for the new interior, with the exception of the third row, headrest and flooring, almost every part of the interior cabin has been upgraded. As with other recent Lexus vehicles, the interior layout of the new LX 570 has been designed following the Lexus' Human Oriented concept which locates controls in an easily accessible area closer to the driver, for a much more convenient and safer operation.
Power delivery and fuel economy have been improved by the inclusion of a new eight-speed automatic transmission that replaces the old six-speed one.
The new LX570 offers adjustable drive modes, allowing the drivers to select drive modes suitable for the situation, or matching their preferred driving styles. While the Comfort mode gives them the smoothest ride, and Sport and Sport+ increasingly firm up the suspension and steering, the Eco mode does its best to enhance fuel efficiency by controlling the vehicle characteristics to suit Eco-friendly driving.
A new suite of safety features called Lexus Safety System + on the new LX 570 and aims to prevent accidents while enabling the driver to cruise confidently and safely. The package includes a pre-crash system with pedestrian detection, all-speed dynamic radar cruise control, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beam.
"The new luxury LX represents the latest Lexus' design direction, expressiveness and performance," said Chris Buxton, General Manager of Lexus Sales at Al-Futtaim Motors. "The new vehicle continues to up the ante of the luxury SUV driving – thanks to its new styling, performance, technology and luxury features,"
He added: "With the new LX offering distinctive design, first-class environment, unmatched comfort, and outstanding performance, coupled with the best aftersales experience we provide at Al-Futtaim Motors, we are confident that this vehicle will further solidify its leading position in the luxury SUV segment in the UAE."
Powerfully elegant design
The exterior of the 2016 Lexus LX combines the power of an SUV with the inherent luxury befitting a Lexus flagship. The front profile provides a sense of stability with its daringly muscular lower portion, while the side profile emphasizes a refined yet bold and dynamic under-body and the rear cuts a sturdy yet graceful outline.
The spindle grille projects a sense of strength and elegance, and symbolizes the ever-evolving nature of Lexus. The lower portion of the grille takes on a protective shape while the inner grille bar juts out energetically from the hood and merges with the grille frame to form a single hard surface. Sequential LED turn signal lamps are utilized in a Lexus vehicle for the first time. These innovative lamps light up in a flowing sequence, increasing visibility when turning right or left. Also available from Lexus for the first time are 21-inch aluminum wheels. The combination of machine-cut highlights and metallic grey, and the addition of a new center ornament, together generate a luxurious feel. The 2016 Lexus LX will be available in 7 exterior colours, including two new colours; Sonic Titanium and Deep Blue MC. All the 7 colours were carefully selected to reflect the LX's dynamic surface and are developed through a multi-stage paint process that gives Lexus models their deep, jewel-like lustre.
Premium, tech-loaded interior
The LX's highly functional interior exudes a luxurious feel through the juxtaposition of such contrasting materials as metal, leather and wood grain. The horizontally positioned instrument panel enables the driver to easily assess the position and stance of the vehicle, a core requirement for any true SUV.
A new interior atmosphere has been created by separating the display zone from the operation zone and incorporating remote operation devices such as the Remote Touch Interface. The new, larger 12.3-inch navigation screen can show several view combinations to help aid the driver, while a larger, 4.2-inch TFT multi-information display screen has been installed on the new, high-visibility Optitron meter. The LX 570 puts more information directly into the driver's line of sight with the newly available Head-up Display (HUD), which shows information such as vehicle speed, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, warnings, information icons, and more.
The 2016 LX 570 is designed to please passengers. The Rear Seat Entertainment System uses dual 11.6-inch screens in place of the former 7.0-inch screens. The luxury touches continue with the Lexus-exclusive Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound Audio System. This premium sound system combines high performance, high output amplifiers with an exclusively developed 19-speaker system configured with two channels. The LX also has a navigation system that can now display a 1280×480 sized image which enables switching between a full-screen or an 8-inch display of the map.
The LX is also available with Lexus' advanced climate concierge concept. In addition to the 4-zone independent automatic temperature control, Lexus Climate Concierge meticulously controls the seat and steering wheel heaters, to which the occupants come in direct contact, in order to achieve comfort that can be felt with the whole body in each seat. An ECO air conditioning mode has also been added which when activated suppresses cooler and heater operation to contribute towards power consumption reduction. In terms of the front seats, a 10-way power seat for the driver along with an 8-way power seat for the passenger is available to allow for seat adjustment with a reclining, fore-aft slider, vertical adjuster, lumbar support, cushion front tilt, and cushion length adjustment. The 2nd-row seat has a one-touch tumble structure that can fold down the 40 split seat on the front passenger's side with one operation. The 3rd-row seat is available as a semi-power and full-power seat designed to increase space, and when necessary, the seat can be folded to increase cargo space. For the seats, a pre-tensioner and 2-stage force limiter mechanism has been adopted for the front seatbelts while 3-point ELR seatbelts have been adopted for all the second and third row seats.
Outstanding performance and versatility
The Lexus LX 570's formidable 5.7-liter V8 engine produces 362 horsepower and delivers 90 percent of its peak torque at just 2,000 rpm.
Combined with a super intelligent, electronically controlled eight-speed automatic transmission, the Lexus LX demonstrates easy acceleration on-road and ample power at low and medium speeds off-road. The outstanding performance of the LX 570 comes courtesy of the following features:
- Handling is improved by virtue of Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS), which adjusts the steering gear ratio according to the speed of the vehicle to provide outstanding maneuverability and cruising stability.
- The newly available Drive Mode Select allows the LX 570 driver to tailor powertrain and suspension responses by selecting drive modes suitable for the situation, or to match their preferred driving style, thus heightening driving pleasure. Modes include ECO, which adjusts powertrain responses and air conditioning to prioritize fuel-efficient driving; COMFORT mode optimizes Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) damping to help deliver the smoothest ride possible; SPORT S mode dials up powertrain response and dials down power steering assist to yield a sportier driving feel, whilst the SPORT S+ mode adds firmer damping control from AVS to prioritize handling agility. Moreover, the suspension of the LX comprises of a high mount, double wishbone suspension in the front which further enhances ride comfort and handling performance.
- A Customize Mode has been included for the first time among the drive mode settings on a Lexus. Upon selection of Customize Mode, the powertrain, chassis, and air conditioning controls can each be freely adjusted. This enables the driver to select a driving mode better suited to his or her preferences. The system also controls responses of the Adaptive Variable Suspension, which continually adjusts shock absorber damping rates while driving, helping to ensure optimal comfort even as the road surface changes.
- To complement the Drive Mode Select switch, the LX comes equipped with 4-Wheel Active Height Control (AHC) suspension, which automatically controls vehicle height in various situations. For example, when the Lexus-first Easy Access feature is active, vehicle height is lowered when the engine is turned off in order to facilitate entry and exit. In addition, AVS automatically adjusts the attenuation force of the suspension to suit the prevailing driving conditions, naturally and smoothly controlling the vehicle's vibrations and providing outstanding comfort, maneuverability, and stability. Together, both the AVS and AHC contribute to excellent off-road driving performance with driving stability.
- The LX's Crawl Control feature provides optimum throttle and brake modulation when maneuvering over rough, uneven or difficult terrain, allowing the vehicle to be operated at extremely low speeds through use of the steering wheel alone, without the need to use the accelerator or brake pedals on slippery road surfaces or during rugged off-road driving. It also enables driving with ease on gravel or mogul covered roads. The Crawl Control speed control has been changed from the 3-step type to a 5-step type to allow for further detailed control. A turn assist function has also been added to Crawl Control to enhance drivability on tight corners where K-turns are necessary.
- The Multi-Terrain Select switch increases AWD performance by optimizing traction and brake control. When driving with Crawl Control implemented, turn assist functions are engaged to enhance turning capabilities. This reduces the number of times the steering wheel has to be turned when executing tight turns, thus making the driver's job easier.
The LX also has a dual tank system which has been changed to an automatic fuel transfer system with a 93-liter main tank and a 45-liter sub tank for a total capacity of 138 liters. The fuel system is designed so that when refueling, fuel can be supplied to both tanks from one refueling port.
Advanced safety technologies offered along with Lexus Safety System+
The LX also scores highly when it comes to offering comprehensive protection for passengers. Ten standard airbags are among the comprehensive occupant protection measures in the LX 570, which comes loaded with a wide array of advanced safety technologies integrated in the Lexus Safety System+.
These include the following technologies:
- Pre-Crash System (PCS): Using a combination of millimeter-wave radar and a front-facing camera, PCS detects vehicles, and, in some circumstances, pedestrians; the system warns the driver of a possible collision and can initiate automatic braking with Brake Assist if necessary
- Lane Departure Alert (LDA): This technology alerts the driver if the vehicle is drifting from its lane. Lane Departure Alert uses a camera to monitor visible lane markings, and if it senses the vehicle is drifting from the lane, it alerts the driver with an audio-visual alert and steering wheel vibration.
- Adaptive Hi-beam System: This technology selectively blocks sections of high beams that might interfere with the vision of preceding and on-coming vehicles. It adjusts high- and low-beam illumination automatically when it detects oncoming traffic or the taillights of the vehicle traveling in front
- All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This completes the entire package by ensuring that a safe distance is maintained from the preceding vehicle.
Some additional vital safety features and technologies are also included on the LX. While the LX offers excellent all-around visibility, drivers can appreciate the extra help from the available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). BSM monitors any vehicles to the rear that are difficult to see with the door mirrors, plus an area in adjacent lanes of up to about 60 meters to the rear, and then notifies the driver of any rapidly approaching vehicles, while RCTA utilizes the BSM radar to detect and notify the driver of vehicles approaching from the rear left or right when reversing out of car parks. There is also a Multi-terrain Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), which, in addition to the standard ABS function of preventing wheels from locking up during braking, provides outstanding braking performance even when driving off-road. This is complemented by Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist functionality.
The LX is also equipped with Multi-terrain Monitors, a system of four cameras that monitor conditions around the vehicle. The system allows the driver to check the road conditions in six blind spot areas around the vehicle, both on and off the road, and facilitates driving on narrow roads or moving over to the road shoulder. In addition, as a Lexus first, the LX features an under-floor view that allows the driver to check both conditions under the vehicle and tire positions while driving off-road.

Manual transmission with overdrive, M46
Capacity: 2.4 US qts = 2.3 liters.
Fluid type: Automatic Transmission Fluid Type F or G(FLM)
Replace: at 600-1,200 mile (1,000-2,000 km) service only.
The oil level should be up to the level/filler plug.
When replacing transmission oil, drain the oil immediately after driving, while it is still hot, by removing the drain plug.
Transmission and overdrive are lubricated by the same oil.
When draining transmission oil, also remove cover on the overdrive to drain oil remaining there. Also clean the overdrive strainer.
Automatic transmission
Capacity: 7.8 US qts (7.4 liters)
Fluid type: Automatic Transmission Fluid type Dexron II D.
Replace: every 20,000 miles (32,000 km).
A Cold transmission: oil temperature = +105° F (+40° C).
This is a normal temperature for the transmission after idling for about 10 minutes.
At oil temperature below +105° F (+40° C), the level may be below the MIN mark.
B Warm transmission: oil temperature = +195° F(+90° C).
This temperature is obtained when driving for about 30 minutes.
At oil temperature above +195° F(+90° C), the level may be above the MAX mark.
The engine should be idling when checking transmission fluid level.
Check the oil level as follows:
Park the car on level surface with the engine idling.
Slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions and then to position P. Wait 2 minutes before checking the oil level. As the illustration shows, the dipstick has a "Cold" and a "Warm" side.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. CAUTION! The oil may be very hot!
Do not use rags which can leave lint on the dipstick.
The transmission is topped up via the dipstick tube.
The space between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick corresponds to 0.5 US qts (0.5 liter). Do not fill the transmission with too much oil, since this can result in oil being ejected from the transmission.
Too little oil, on the other hand, can negatively affect transmission operation, particularly in very cold weather.
Rear axle oil
Capacity: 1.7 US qts - 1.6 liters
Oil type: API GL-5 (MIL-L-2105 B or C)
Viscosity: SAE 90 or 80W/90
Replace: at 600-1,200 mile (1,000-2,000 km) service only.
The oil level should be up to the filler plug (A).
Drain rear axle oil through drain plug (B).
When the temperature is consistently below 15° F (-10° C), use API GL-5 SAE 80/90 W oil.
Cars equipped with limited slip differentials should use oils with proper additives.
Power steering fluid
Capacity: 0.8 US qts = 0.75 liters.
Fluid type: ATF
Replace: no fluid change required.
The dipstick is attached to the cap. Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX marks. Add fluid when the level is at the ADD mark.
Brake fluid
Fluid type: DOT 4
Replace: every 2 years or 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
Check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the "MIN" mark of the fluid reservoir.
Always entrust brake fluid changing to a Volvo dealer.
Change brake fluid every year when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving etc.) and if the car is equipped with a non-factory air dam.
Chassis maintenance
To simplify maintenance, your Volvo has been equipped with ball joints, steering rods and propeller shafts that do not require regular lubrication.
Points that normally require lubricating have been packed with very durable grease at the factory and then carefully sealed, eliminating the need for subsequent lubrication.
Lubricate body
To avoid rattles and unnecessary wear, the body should be lubricated once a year. Hinges on hood, doors and trunk lid as well as door stops should be lubricated every 10,000 miles (16,000 km).

Check coolant level
The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency. Check the coolant level whenever you refuel. The level should be between the "Max" and "Min" marks on the expansion tank. The check should be made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or the cooling system has been drained.
Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping-up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during engine warm-up and cooling.
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level.
If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage.
Top up with coolant
Top up with coolant by filling the expansion tank when level is at the "Min" mark. Use a mixture of 50 percent Volvo Type C coolant and 50 percent water all the year round. Top up to the "Max" mark.
If the engine is warm, and you are going to add coolant, unscrew the cap slowly in order to allow any excess pressure to escape.
Note: Do not add water only. Water by itself
reduces the rust-protective and anti-freezing
qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling
point. It can also cause damage to the cooling
system if it should freeze.
See "Specifications" section of the manual to type of coolant recommended.
Cooling system
The risk of overheating is greatest, especially in hot weather, when:
- towing a trailer up steep inclines for prolonged periods at full throttle, and at low engine rpm.
- idling for prolonged periods while the air conditioning system is in operation.
- stopping the engine suddenly after high speed driving, so-called after-boiling.
To avoid overheating, the following rules should be followed.
When the risk of overheating is imminent, or in the event of overheating, (the temperature gauge goes repeatedly into, or stays continually in, the red section) the following precautions should be taken:
Note: This car is equipped with an alternator.
When changing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be observed:
1 A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the diodes. Before connections are made. check the polarity of the battery with a voltmeter.
2 If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connected to prevent the diodes from being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting".
3 The battery leads should be disconnected any time the battery is being charged.
4 Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to change the battery) while the engine is running, as this will immediately ruin the alternator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are cleaned and properly tightened.
5 If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the ground lead and all the connecting cables of the alternator must be disconnected and the welder wires placed as near the welding point as possible.
Jump starting
CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or the use of other than 12 volt batteries could result in damage to equipment and/or battery.
Check that cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of negative circuit.
Note the position of the battery terminals. When using jumper cables, first connect booster battery positive (+) terminal to car battery positive (+) terminal. Then connect booster battery negative (-) terminal to a stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery. Do not connect booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
After engine has started remove first (-) jumper cable, then positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
Replacing bulbs
The replacement of bulbs in the various lighting units is shown on the following pages. Make sure when installing bulbs, that the guide pin on the socket fits into its corresponding recess.
When installing bulbs, do not touch the glass with your fingers. The reason for this is that grease, oil or any other impurities can be carbonized onto the bulb and damage the reflector.
Use bulbs of correct type and voltage. Failure to do so could activate the bulb failure warning light.

Checking and correcting tire
Check the tire pressure when refueling. The tire pressure should only be corrected when the tires are cold. With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature (and, thus, pressure) rises after driving just a few miles.
Vehicle Loading
The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the rear facing side of the right front door. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits.
Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
Tire Pressure Label
The tire pressure label is located on the rear facing side of the right front door.
See section titled "Specifications" and Consumer Information Booklet for complete tire pressure information
Wear indicator
The tires have a so-called "wear indicator" in the form of a number of narrow strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.5 mm) is left on the tread, these strips show up and indicate the tire should be replaced.
Tires with less than 1/16" (1.5 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.
When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent altering the driving characteristics of the vehicle.
How to improve tire economy
Winter Season
Radial snow tires, installed on all four wheels, are recommended for winter driving. Use tires that are comparable in size and type to the original equipment installed by the factory.
Mixing tires of different size, brand, or design could negatively affect tire road grip, especially when slippery road conditions exist.
Use either 185/70R14 or 175R14 snow tires.
Note: Overall diameter of tire and wheel combination will affect speedometer accuracy and fuel economy.
Tire chains can be used on the rear wheels if the chains do not project too far from the tire and chafe against the brake caliper or other components. Strap-on emergency chains must not be used since the space between the brake caliper and the wheel rim is inadequate.
Special Spare
The spare wheel for your car is referred to as a "Special Spare". This name is embossed on the tire.
On sedan models, the "Special Spare" tire has a 6-ply rating and, on the wagon models, an 8-ply rating tire.
Tire pressure must be 36 psi (250 kPa) on a 6-ply rating tire and 40 psi (280 kPa) on a 8-ply rating tire irrespective of load or where the wheel is installed. In the event of a damage to this tire a new one can be purchased from your Volvo dealer.
Changing a wheel
Spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stowed in the trunk compartment. On the wagon models the jack and crank should be secured according to the above illustration to avoid any disturbing rattles. Make sure that the spare wheel is secured. Before raising the car with the jack be sure it is on firm and level ground.
Do not crawl or work under the car while it is raised by the jack.
Before the car is raised with the jack the parking brake should be applied
and one of the gears engaged. With automatic transmission, the selector
should be in Park. Block one of the wheels on the opposite side of the car
from the jack.
Note: To avoid excessive tire wear and rebalancing, mark and reinstall
wheels in same location and position as before removal. To lessen the
chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to
ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position.
To remove the wheel cap the center emblem must first be pried-off using the screwdriver provided in the tool kit. The wheel cap may then be removed by hand. Loosen the wheel nuts 1/2-1 turn with the box wrench provided in the tool kit. All of the wheel nuts have right-hand threads which are loosened by turning them counterclockwise.
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel nuts clockwise and tighten lightly. The beveled side of each nut should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately torque the nuts to 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm). Install the wheel cap.
Using the jack
The spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stored in the trunk. On the wagon models the jack and crank should be secured according to the above illustration to avoid any disturbing rattle. Make sure that the spare wheel is secured.
Before using the jack make sure the car is standing on firm, level ground. Apply the parking brake and place the transmission in either first or reverse gear. If equipped with automatic transmission place the selector lever in position P. Block the wheels standing on the ground with wooden blocks or large stones.
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each side wheel location. Hang the jack from the attachment as shown in the illustration and crank while simultaneously guiding the base to the ground. Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.
Replacing wiper blades
The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
Special car washing detergent or household detergent can be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. = 10 liters of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.
A water soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a washplace equipped with a drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
Electrically operated antenna (optional) should be dried and lightly lubricated with an oil dampened cloth.
Note: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the winter time, to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads. Also wash off the dirt on the underside (Wheel housings and fenders etc).
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes now and again in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal attends the opening of an Arab foreign ministers emergency meeting to discuss the Syrian crisis and the potential military strike on President Bashar al-Assad's regime, at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, Sept. 1, 2013. (photo by REUTERS/Amr Abdallah Dalsh
By: Madawi Al-Rasheed for Al-Monitor Posted on September 17.
Saudi Arabia miscalculated the ease with which US-led Western powers could quickly organize a military strike on Syria following the now-confirmed chemical attack of Aug. 21. The push for a quick strike stumbled in Washington, London and Paris, giving way to high-level diplomacy between the United States and Russia and disappointment in Saudi Arabia. The US-Russian framework for the elimination of Syria's chemical arsenal appears to be a deviation from Riyadh's immediate objectives. By focusing on the sole objective of removing the Bashar al-Assad regime from power, the Saudi leadership may have overlooked that despite having important resources and weight, regional powers like itself can today be constrained by the changing international environment.
About This Article
Summary :
Saudi Arabia, like Iran, has pursued a sectarian interventionist strategy in Syria that furthers the war and undermines a democratic transition.Author: Madawi Al-RasheedPosted on: September 17 2013
Categories : Originals Saudi Arabia Syria
In Jiddah on Sept. 16, Crown Prince Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz presided over the Council of Ministers and warned the international community against reducing the Syrian crisis to the issue of chemical weapons. In anticipation of a UN Security Council meeting on Sept. 18 to discuss the UN report on the Syrians' use of chemical weapons and pass a strong resolution, Salman called on the international community to strengthen the Syrian opposition and protect civilians, reminding it of the urgency of pushing for a new regime in Damascus. Saudi Arabia may soon find itself a spectator on the periphery, watching an international game in which it can only make noise, and possibly trouble, if its objectives cease to be a priority for other, more important international players with their own agendas.
The US-Russian framework unexpectedly eclipsed active Saudi diplomacy of the last weeks, during which it insisted on military intervention in Syria. While the United States continues to stress that this framework does not rule out future military strikes in case of noncompliance, this is simply not enough for Riyadh.
The Saudi leadership's bewilderment over the changes that have swept the Arab world over the last three years has focused its foreign policy on two main objectives. First is sabotaging any glimpse of a democratic transition that might lead to the rise of new, unpredictable forces in Arab countries and consequently undermine its own grip on power domestically. From the Saudi perspective, any political change threatens to undermine a familiar status quo characterized by political stagnation and repression, defined by the Saudis as stability.
"Change" to the Saudis means unpredictability, chaos and loss of influence in a region that has been dependent on the integration of its failing economy into the Saudi oil empire. From subsidizing poor, loyal regimes to taking in excess labor migrants, Saudi Arabia has ensured that poor Arab countries remain within its sphere of influence. Yet this policy seems to be dependent on authoritarian and repressive regimes remaining in power and willing to play the Saudi's game of loyalty in return for oil rent. The Arab uprisings threatened to destroy this formula, leading the Saudis to fight several battles in different places at the same time. From Bahrain to Yemen and Egypt, loyalty for oil must be reinforced because it is the only way the Saudis can remain relevant at the regional level.

Sam Mendes Turned Down "The Avengers," But Would He Direct "Justice League"?
Posted: November 19th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Sam Mendes (Skyfall) recently revealed that he turned down the chance to direct "The Avengers," because Marvel set a release date for the film before there was even a script. He felt that the studio was rushing production.
Now in an interview with Collider, the director is asked whether he would like the chance to bring "Justice League of America" to the big screen. "
I've never felt that that ['Justice League'] was in my comfort zone,
" he said. "
What I love about ['James Bond' franchise] is that it has a basis in reality. Everything is a real, physical special effect, and it's supplemented by visual effects. But when your basic storytelling is on blue screen, I would be lost. I love real people; actors in real spaces. If you take that away, I would find it very difficult.
When asked if there are any comic book movies in his future, Mendes replied: "
I don't see it, but it depends how it's handled. There are some comic book movies like 'The Dark Knight' or the second 'X-Men' movie for example that didn't feel as if they were set in an entirely fantasy universe and they were inspiring to me because I thought that somehow you could see they were possible to make.

let me guess, Del toro is also considering to direct JLA movie.

Michael Caine claims that he already read the script...
on November 19th, 2012 at 9:36:44 AM
Alejandro Jodorowsky actually wrote a script based on the Grant Morrison run in JLA.
A movie which was going to be directed by Federico Fellini in a parallel universe,
Although doesn't matter how many parallelism are out there, Fellini died very early on into the production so the film has being shelved forever.

That would've been absolutely charliesheen.
on November 19th, 2012 at 4:31:45 PM
I like how the dolt mindlessly says TDK didn't appear to be set entirely inside a fantasy world, even though Begins was far more grounded, as was TDKR, if you're honest, and then he goes on to talk about X-Men 2, as if there's this huge gap in credibility between the first and the second, as if mutants with supernatural powers aren't already total f*cking fantasy.
Dude maybe a decent film-maker, but he's otherwise a total moron.
Just be quiet Mendes and make movies.
on November 19th, 2012 at 6:26:11 PM
yeah, kurskij: it would have been great if Hollywood make a Jodorowsky film.
One time Marilyn Manson approached him to make a movie based on his album holy-wood, but they never got the money, then it was King-Shot to be produced by David Lynch, and that didn't came out also.
He's in the final touches of his Dance of Reality movie based on two books of his.
After that probably he's going to make a sequel to El Topo.

Bring Back the Big Dog!
Joe Rose
For years, it was my morning wakeup ritual. At exactly 7:30 am, my alarm clock radio would blare with the familiar booming voice of the "Big Dog" Joe Rose. Usually he would sing one of his commercial jingles for sponsors like Air Around The Clock or Headquarter Toyota. But let me tell you, just hearing Rose sing one of his out-of-tune jingles was a better pick-me-up than the strongest Cuban coffee. It was irritating. But it got my attention.
However for the past month, the Big Dog has been silenced. Local sports talk station 790 The Ticket has decided to dump Rose from the airwaves and replace him with the annoying Sid Rosenberg, who still thinks he's doing a show in New York. The station's decision wasn't based on ratings. Rose was beating rival WQAM's morning team of Kim Bokamper and Kenny Walker in the most recent ratings book. The decision was based completely out of spite by The Ticket's GM Joel Feinberg.
When WQAM regained the rights to the Miami Dolphins broadcasts, it became well-known it was interested in bringing Rose back to the station where he once worked for over a decade. But Rose was still under contract by The Ticket. When the station pushed Rose to sign a new deal, Rose kept putting the decision off. Finally, Feinberg got fed up and axed Rose.
When Rose went off the air, I was horrified to hear the voice of Sid Rosenberg on my radio. Sorry New Yorkers, but you guys have the most annoying accent known to man. Sid is the posterchild of an obnoxious New Yorker. All he talks about is the Mets, Giants, Knicks and The Sopranos--which I am still proud to say I've never seen a single episode. Rosenberg was fired from his New York radio gig after he made racially insensitve remarks about Serena Williams. Add to that, he was a known concaine addict and alcoholic. To Sid's credit, it seems he's made a nice recovery from his addictions. But as a host, he still sucks.
How much do I dislike Rosenberg? I actually switched the dial and started listening to Kim Bokamper and Kenny Walker. Yikes! Bokamper is okay. But Walker might be the most unknowledgeable person I've ever heard discuss sports. His only connection to sports is that his wife is the director for the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders. His previous job was as a morning DJ on Y-100. He's more fit to introduce a Justin Timberlake song than discuss the Dolphins offense.
But hope is on the way. Bokamper and Walker have been a ratings disaster. WQAM had never lost in the ratings book to another sports talk station until Bokamper and Walker showed up. They're the Larry Coker of sports talk radio. They've taken a good job and driven it to the ground. Enter Joe Rose. He's expected to take over the morning drive slot next month and will also join Jimmy Cefalo and Jim Mandich in the booth for the Dolphins broadcasts. It can't happen soon enough. I never thought I would miss those Nature Bee commercials or those silly jingles. But sometimes you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Come back Big Dog!

TR stock not feeling the love
The price of stock in one of Eagan's largest employers, Thomson Reuters, has sharply declined in the last two weeks—plummeting even before an overall market correction—following the Jan. 30 announcement of the sale of a controlling interest in the company's Financial and Risk division.
Two weeks after that announcement, on Feb. 13, the company made another announcement: its chief executive officer, Jim Smith, was in the hospital. The company did not disclose the nature of the CEO's illness, saying only he "was feeling unwell."
At the end of January, Thomson Reuters announced it was selling a 55 percent stake in its Financial and Risk division to private equity firm Blackstone Group for about $17 billion. The company also announced the departure of Board of Directors member Sir Kenneth Alisa.
On Feb. 8, the company's earnings announcement brought shares below $40, to a low of $39.36.
Thomson acquired Minnesota-based West Publishing in 1996. In recent years, West's publishing revenue has declined, according to company reports, as law firms and libraries replace print publications with online options. The company paid $212 million in severance in 2016.
The moment many awaited arrived Feb. 8 as Chick-Fil-A came to Eagan. The new restaurant opened on Yankee Doodle Road near the City Vue and Promenade Oaks apartments. The restaurant chain's mascot cow was on hand for the grand opening to ask people to eat more chicken.
Thomson Reuters' stock price has declined sharply recently.
Vikings request would add fire to fuel at tailgating site
Caretaker charged with malicious punishment
A South Saint Paul woman has been charged with a felony based on allegations she repeatedly withheld food from and tied up a child in her care.
Flor Gallegos, 53, of 155 Richmond St., S. Saint Paul, is scheduled to appear in Dakota County district court on March 19 to answer to charges of false imprisonment, a felony, and malicious punishment of a child, a gross misdemeanor, according to court records.
Gallegos was the legal guardian of the child she is accused of mistreating over a period of nearly three years, from Feb. 1, 2015, to Jan. 1, 2018, according to court records. In a criminal complaint, the prosecution details reports from several witnesses on various dates. Witnesses told investigators Gallegos withheld food from and tied the victim and a sibling to a pole in the basement and to his bunkbed.
The charges come more than three years after South Saint Paul police investigated a report that the 11-year-old, living with his guardians, his great-aunt and uncle, had been deprived of food, and more than a year after his school reported to police the child had been physically abused, according to court records. Prior to that report, the victim's school had reported to police the child came to school hungry and was not being fed at home.
An older sibling of the child told school staff about a large bruise on the victim's face. A witness reported the victim disclosed Gallegos had struck him in the face several times after he got into trouble at school. The bruise was reportedly so bad Gallegos kept the victim home from school for a week so no one would see it.
A witness also reportedly disclosed Gallegos would lock the victim and his 13-year-old brother in their rooms and withhold food as punishment, according to court records.
When police and a child services investigator went to the home and spoke to the victim, he initially denied the abuse, although Gallegos herself admitted hitting him in the face, according to court records.
During a subsequent interview with investigators, the victim reportedly disclosed years of abuse, according to a criminal complaint. The victim reported he had gone as long as six days without food and would sometimes steal food at night. The victim also reported he and a sibling had been tied up when they were as young as five years old, according to court records. The victim reported Gallegos had tied the children to a pole in the basement or to a bed or dresser. The victim said his hands would sometimes be tied all night, so they were swollen in the morning, according to the criminal complaint.
Witnesses reported seeing evidence of children being tied up with rope and duct tape, according to court records. Witnesses also reported family members and child protection workers intervened, telling Gallegos not to withhold food and restrain the children.
Another child who had been in the home under Gallegos's care while her mother worked reported the victim had once been tied to his bed all day, according to court records. She reported the victims' rooms "smelled like 'pee' because Flor Gallegos would not let them out to use the bathroom," according to the criminal complaint. She also alleged Gallegos would withhold food from the first victim. Gallegos allegedly told the child the victim "did not deserve to eat."
The Eagan City Council agreed to postpone action on a request regarding alcoholic beverages at the new Vikings headquarters site to allow Vikings representatives time to try to convince the city's fire chief to remove a proposed condition that would prohibit open flames in a tailgating area.
The tailgating area, a parking lot where football fans would drink and party, was suggested by Mayor Mike Maguire at a previous meeting about the site. At issue is a proposed condition for the tailgating area, referred to as "Condition 4." The proposed condition reads: "For any tailgating event there shall be no flames or fire pits. Charcoal and propane grilling devices are permitted."
A Vikings' representative appearing before the council, whom council members addressed only by his first name, Steve, told the board the condition would likely be unpopular with tailgaters.
"That is the single largest complaint that we get from tailgaters," the Vikings' representative said. He requested the city council approve the matter without the condition to allow him to "have a conversation" with the city's police and fire chiefs "to see if we could figure out a way that we could do that. That would be great."
If the condition were removed, the city would allow people at the Vikings' tailgating site to light fires amid the gas tanks in a parking lot full of cars and trucks in a crowd of people consuming alcoholic beverages.
The request to allow open flames at the Vikings' tailgate area came less than one month after the city narrowly avoided the explosion of a 20,000-gallon gasoline spill on Thomas Center Drive. The spill occurred after contractors boring soil for a construction project at Lifetime Fitness struck the gasoline pipeline with a metal auger. Had there been an ignition source nearby, the city's fire chief told city councilors at a recent meeting, the gasoline likely would have exploded.
The city council repeatedly joked with and sought to accommodate Vikings' representatives as they discussed the issue and another item on the agenda, construction of a 100-foot-cell phone tower at the new northeast Eagan headquarters site. At one point during the discussion Monday night, a councilmember questioned the best procedural option that would eliminate the multi-million-dollar organization's need to pay another filing fee to the city.
As has occurred at past meetings discussing issues related to the Vikings' site, the Vikings' representative referenced a discussion with a city council member—in this case, with Councilmember Cyndee Fields—before the public city council meeting.
The council postponed the alcohol service issue to its Feb. 20 meeting to accommodate the Vikings. The council approved the request to build the 100' cell tower.

Woman accused of stealing baby formula
A Richfield woman is facing a felony theft charge based on allegations she stole baby formula from two grocery stores last December.
Kelsey Detle, 32, of 6645 Queen Ave. S. #103, Richfield, is facing a charge of aggregated theft over $1,000 following an investigation by Eagan police, according to a criminal complaint.
The investigation began after employees of the Hy-Vee grocery store noticed a large amount of baby formula missing from the shelves. A review of store video and further investigation led police to another grocery store, Cub. When police arrived at that store, an officer allegedly saw Detle leaving the store with a cart full of baby formula but no receipt, according to a criminal complaint.
Police seize pounds of marijuana "gummies"
Two men, including an Eagan man, are facing felony drug charges after investigators found large amounts of THC-laced candy "gummies" during police searches of the cars they were driving.
Brian Hiltner, 28, of 3898 Mersey Pt., Eagan, was charged with a felony sale of 25 or more kilograms of a controlled substance, according to a criminal complaint. Police allege Hiltner was driving a car away from a Lakeville house where the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force was about to execute a search warrant on Jan. 31.
Police smelled marijuana in the car while they were talking to Hiltner, according to a criminal complaint. Police search the car and found 9 vacuum-sealed plastic bags believed to contain about a pound of marijuana each.
Police also found 14 one-gallon size plastic bags filled with what police suspect are THC-laced gummies. A field test of one of the pieces of candy tested positive for THC, according to court records. The gummies, in total, weighed more than 50 pounds.
Inside the house, the address of which was not disclosed by police, police found 183 vacuum-sealed bags of what police suspect is marijuana, more gummies, and "a large number of containers" of suspected "marijuana wax," a concentrated form of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Police also found drug paraphernalia, a digital scale, and about $26,000.
The discovery of pounds of drug-laced candy was a particular concern to county drug prosecutors because of the marijuana-laced gummies' attractiveness to children. The gummies prompt particular concern because they can be a starter drug for children and teen-agers averse to smoking and can attract young children who see them as candy, not drugs.
"Gummies and other edibles are of great concern as they are manufactured with varying levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana," Dakota County District Attorney James Backstrom said. "When products are shaped like candy, there is a not only a greater concern of possible overdose, there is also the concern that children will accidentally ingest them."
A second man, from Lakeville, was stopped by police in a vehicle containing even more gummies shortly after Hiltner's arrest.
Austin Hagen, 24, of 20580 Kearney Path, Lakeville, was charged with two felony counts of possession of more than 25 kilograms of THC, according to a criminal complaint. Police stopped the car Hagen was driving on Friday, Feb. 2. While talking with Hagen, police noticed the smell of marijuana and searched the car, according to court records.
Police found a large duffel bag inside the car. Inside the duffel bag, police found eight plastic containers. "There appeared to be several thousand gummies in each container," according to police. Altogether, police allege, there were more than 99 pounds of gummies.
Couple accused of stealing tv from senior housing
A St. Paul man and a Zimmerman woman have been charged with a felony in connection with the theft of a television from an Eagan senior living facility.
Nathan Crandall, 37, of 1348 Rice St., St. Paul, and Tessa Aguilar, 21, of 26312 147th St. NW, Zimmerman, were each charged with a single count of felony theft, according to Dakota County criminal complaints. The charges stem from an Eagan Police Department investigation into the report of a theft of an $1,100 television and stand from the senior living complex.
A resident of the facility identified suspects on surveillance video as her son, Crandall, and his girlfriend, according to court records.

All products need to be refrigerated after opening except for our hot sauces, which will stay naturally fresh on your shelf.My sauce looks separated. What's that about? Is it safe?
Separation is completely natural as a result of having both fats/oils (i.e. coconut milk, chilis) and liquids (i.e. lime juice). Just shake it up!My curry sauce is solidified. Is it safe to eat?
Yes, this is perfectly safe to consume and is a result of the coconut milk hardening during temperature changes (or after being refrigerated). Once heated, it will return to a liquid.

Bridge of Spies is rated 12A for infrequent strong language, moderate threat, violence
The Scoop – Gripping, humane and good-humoured, Bridge of Spies is a superior thriller.
It's 1957, and in the midst of escalating tensions between America and the Soviet Union, a nondescript Brooklyn artist is arrested as a Russian spy. Since Rudolph Abel (Mark Rylance) refuses to cooperate with the US government, he faces either thirty years in prison or the electric chair.
Enter insurance lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks), who has been asked to represent Abel in court. Donovan's superiors expect him to do little more than show up: but he isn't that kind of man. Against the objections of his wife Mary (Amy Ryan), his colleagues and the American public, Donovan sets about fighting Abel's corner. His principles will lead him on a cloak-and-dagger trip to East Berlin, and into an unlikely friendship with the mercurial spy.

To link them in a concert programme may seem capricious, but in fact they are aesthetically quite closely linked, in mood if not exactly in style. In fact Pärt's deeply contemplative language is beautifully reflected in a number of the surrounding renaissance works – Tallis's Sancte deus, Mouton's Nesciens mater and Allegri's Miserere being excellent examples.

6550 Tubes
6550 Origin
Original pear shaped 6550 tube was introduced by Tung-Sol back in 1955 as an answer to European KT88 tube. Other US manufacturers such as GE and Sylvania followed and produced 6550 tubes also, but with a straight bottle.
All American Tube Sound
6550 tube has been the output tube of choice in high power audio amplifiers in the USA. 6550 tube was found in legendary Ampeg SVT, Harmon-Kardon Citation II, and Audio Research VT200 to name just a few. 6550 tube was even used in imported Marshall JMP amps. 6550 tube represents the all American high output tube sound.

As the fantasy season quickly approaches, we take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly that are circulating around the league thus far. As mini-camps have begun, and roles and positions are being jockeyed for, we look forward to another adrenaline-pumping kind of year. These key players who could always be game changers will take to center stage in their brand new, yet-to-be grass stained uniforms. Will the change of scenery help impact their futures? Buckle up, because one thing is certain in fantasy football – it will be a wild ride!
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was submitted on June 12th.
The Good: Alex Smith
With a less-than-flattering 2012, Alex Smith spent the latter half of the season riding the bench when San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh introduced future star, Colin Kaepernick. At the end of the season Alex Smith was part of a trade between the 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. I see nothing but good things coming out of this trade. Smith is going to a team who has been in dire need of a stable quarterback, with debates of whether he can be elite or not. It is definitely a step in the right direction for the red and gold of Kansas City. Not to mention that he will be coached by former long-standing Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, who brings his West Coast style offense and a ton of experience. The future is bright not only for Alex Smith, but for this Kansas City team that is finally spending some money and bulking up their team.
Smith has endless possibilities of regaining his confidence and becoming a quality starting, or strong backup, quarterback for any fantasy team. The world is his oyster right now.
The Bad: Willis McGahee
McGahee has so far seemed nonchalant about securing his future as the starting running back with the Denver Broncos. Even though he has reported to mini-camp, questions and hesitations still remain about his future and dedication. McGahee went ahead and took a pass on the organized team activities due to "family obligations." These obligations have brought up questions of devotion, whether they are true or not. Regardless, McGahee better get his head into the game or he may lose more reps to second-year running back Ronnie Hillman and to the much anticipated second-round pick Montee Ball. Should the 31-year-old McGahee have anything to worry about? Oh, did I mention that Montee Ball is the all-time leader in NCAA touchdowns? I think the worrying should begin.
: Keep a close eye on how mini-camps and preseason goes if you have any intention of drafting a Broncos RB, running back future is hazy right now with who will prove themselves as starting material.
(UPDATE – The Broncos released McGahee on Thursday morning).
The Ugly: Tim Tebow
Once again, media guru Tim Tebow has made his entrance into the three ring circus. The media follows Tebow like vultures, waiting to pick apart his next move. That move we speak of is signing with the New England Patriots. Just at the moment when Tebow's NFL career seemed over, from the depths swooped the NFL powerhouse and tucked Tebow in its clutches. The question that now presents itself is: now that you have him, what do you do with him? Basking in the media downpour sure to come throughout the season doesn't really seem like New England's M.O.
With questions surrounding his talent, will the Patriots finally take the step that no one wanted to attempt and try him at other positions? At this point, what will it hurt? Tebow has the size and we all know that he has the speed, so why not option him as a possible tight end until Rob Gronkowski is fully healed, or possible running back, backing up LeGarrette Blount or Stevan Ridley? The Patriots just may have something up their sleeve with this pick.
As ugly as the Tebow circus and the media train that follows, he may have found his best fit as a Patriot and under coach Bill Belichick. This may be Tebow's last chance to throw a Hail Mary and continue his NFL career. Stranger things have happened.
No matter what this three ring circus known as the good the bad and the ugly brings, we will be pulling out the dusty jersey, slapping on our favorite team's face paint, and hauling in nachos by the bucket, all in preparation of the soon arriving season of hard-smacking, teeth-gnashing, pigskin-flying, year of fantasy football.

Jake Long Questionable, Chad Henne Doubtful, Joe Berger and Chris Clemons Out for Dolphins vs. Bears
The Dolphins have avoided significant injuries to their starters on both sides of the ball throughout the season — until this week.
The Dolphins will be without three key starters and possibly one of their best special teams players when they take the field Thursday night against the Bears.
Chad Henne, who injured his left knee Sunday against the Titans, has been officially listed as "doubtful" for Thursday. The only surprise there is that Henne wasn't officially listed as "out." The Dolphins have been preparing all week with Tyler Thigpen as the starting quarterback after Chad Pennington was also hurt on Sunday.
The Dolphins have officially listed center Joe Berger (knee) and safety Chris Clemons (hamstring) as out for Thursday. Both injured themselves Sunday against the Titans — Berger was replaced late in the game by Cory Procter, while Clemons missed most of the second half and gave way to rookie Reshad Jones. Procter will earn his first start of the season, and Jones, a fifth-round pick out of Georgia, will get his first career start. Jones earned his first professional sack and interception last week subbing for Clemons.
The Dolphins also could be without special teams ace Tyrone Culver (ankle) for the second straight game, as well as receiver Roberto Wallace (knee), also a special teams contributor. Both are listed as "questionable."
The injury report did have some good news, though. Left tackle Jake Long (shoulder) is listed as "questionable," and not "out," as many feared after he suffered labrum damage on Sunday. Long practiced on a limited basis on Tuesday, but it would take nothing short of amputation for him to break his streak of 41 consecutive games started (and even then, you'd have a hard time holding him out).
And outside linebacker Cameron Wake (hip) does not even appear on the injury report, so he will be ready to go.
The following players are listed as "probable:" WR Brandon Marshall, LB Karlos Dansby, S Yeremiah Bell, ILB Channing Crowder (ribs), RT Vernon Carey, DE Kendall Langford, ILB Tim Dobbins (ankle).
For the Bears, linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa has been ruled out, but otherwise the Bears are healthy. CB Zack Bowman (foot), WR Johnny Knox (ankle), WR Devin Hester (shoulder) and WR Rashied Davis (quad) are "probable."

Professor Harvey Mansfield, Jr. of Harvard University is the one and only conservative member of the government department, and one of the few identifiable conservatives on the Harvard University faculty. Professor Mansfield has been working for the past few years on a book addressing issues of feminism, sexuality, and relations between the sexes. Last week Professor Mansfield gave the keynote address at a faculty dinner and discussed the campus sex scene.
Professor Mansfield decried the the dearth of gentlemen among undergraduates. When Professor Mansfield suggested that the only gentlemen left among the student body were conservative or gay, some students took offense — but not in the manner you might expect. "If I was a gay man I

Did you know you can connect with Miss Chronically Creative on facebook or twitter? Come celebrate all things creative!
Hi Emily,
I just wanted to thank you for this entry. Its great. I so enjoyed reading it. it made my day!
I am also chronically challenged with arthritis, fibro., & osteoarthritis,plus some other stuff. I'm much older than you, and sorry you have to go through this at your age. I know how just having pain all day can be such a drag. Also, as an artist, it's just mentally debilitating.
I do try to get things done, but it's hard. And it's good to know that others are dealing with it.
Thank you again,
Feel better.
Monsters, in my case, demons, don't light daylight; they thrive on the darkness. May your head be as full of sunlight as possible.
Bruce Cockburn wrote in the song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" that "you gotta kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight." May you always be able to kick at the darkness if it creeps in again.
Sorry I haven't been by too much lately!
I have demons who say thinks like "you're not good enough, smart enought, pretty enough, thin enough, etc. They love to run blueray DVDs of all my embarrassments, torments, and failures.
Some days they win; I can't shut out their chatter. Other days, I drown them out with music or distractions.
Bruce Cockburn wrote in a song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" that "you gotta kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight." Sounds like you've started to let the daylight in. Demons and monsters don't like daylight; they thrive on the dark. So, here's to all the sunshine that can fit into your head!
Sorry I haven't been by in a while.
Hi Jani!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment- you have made my day! Some days are extremely tough and frustrating, hey. Getting things done can be difficult- you try and push through and just get on with things but your body won't let you. Ugh. It's incredibly frustrating. I totally understand.
It's so great to know that I'm not alone though. Hope you have a great weekend! xx
@ phylor- hello! You've just remined me, I need to send you an email, I have a book to send you!
I think at times we all feel like we're not good enough at some point in our lives but living with chronic illness has made it a daily battle for me. I can be my own worst enemy sometimes. It's just really hard to go from doing well at school to being a uni drop out on disability- self esteem = 0 But I'm slowly learning to be OK with what I can't do because I'm trying my best and that's all I can do and that is good enough.
And you my friend, are good enough. You are doing such a great job- you have a beautiful blog, and you should be proud!

When you know a thing, you believe it, and the true lover and believer sees with his spiritual discernment that which the surface investigator cannot see with the eyes of his head, and he understands through his inner thought that which the outside examiner cannot understand with his demanding, acquired process of thought.
The believer/lover acquaints himself with the sacred realities through deep senses different from those used by others. A true lover looks upon his senses as a great wall surrounding him, and when he walks upon the Path he says, " This city has no exits. But it is perfect Within."

INSIDE LOOK! Check Out What Emmy-Nominated Actresses Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Julianna Margulies Have In Their Netflix Queues!
Julianna is taking notes from Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer, while Julia is watching one the funniest comedies of all time…pretty fitting, don't you think?
We got our hands on two of TV's biggest actresses' Netflix "Watch Instantly" Lists and from the looks of things, Julianna Margulies (who's nominated for Outstanding Actress in a TV Drama for her role in The Good Wife), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (who's nominated for Outstanding Actress in a TV Comedy for her role in The New Adventures of Old Christine), prefer to stick with their respective genres!
Right now, 44-year-old Julianna has Meryl Streep's Kramer vs. Kramer and the 1996 classic Stand By Me in her Netflix "Watch Instantly" List. In stark contrast, Julia, 49, is watching Jeff Bridges and John Goodman in the hysterical comedy The Big Lebowski.
Despite their drastically different Netflix lists, both Julia and Julianna are front runners in their respective categories at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards Aug. 29 in Los Angeles. Do YOU think they'll take home the prize?

Capitals-Maple Leafs PreviewNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping Darcy Tucker can help boost them into the postseason.
With the hard-hitting forward back on the ice, the Maple Leafs will try to begin crawling up the Eastern Conference standings Tuesday when they host the slumping Washington Capitals.
Tucker, who had 19 goals and 12 assists in 39 games before breaking his left foot, returned to the ice for the first time since Jan. 1 in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Buffalo Sabres.
The 13-year veteran did not record a point in 15:16 of ice time, but did receive a long ovation when he was shown on the videoboard following a tribute showing his some most violent hits and entertaining antics. Tucker posted career highs of 28 goals and 61 points last season for Toronto.
The Maple Leafs (31-26-9) are tied with the New York Rangers for 10th place in the Eastern Conference, two points behind the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes for the conference's eighth and final postseason spot. Both the Leafs and Rangers have two games in hand on Carolina.
However, Toronto has dropped three of its last four games and was booed in the final seconds of Saturday's defeat. Nik Antropov scored the Maple Leafs' lone goal late in the third period.
Toronto was playing its first game without top defenseman Tomas Kaberle, who is sidelined indefinitely after a taking a late hit from New Jersey's Cam Janssen in Friday's 4-3 shootout win. Janssen was suspended three games for the hit.
"I'm really disappointed in the fact that we lost one of our leaders and one of the top five defenseman for I don't know long when we're in a situation where we're in a battle of our lives," said Tucker, who added that he was especially upset that the hit was made by someone who plays "two minutes a game."
"His only role out there is try to hurt somebody," he said.
The Capitals (24-30-12) dropped their fourth straight game Saturday, falling 6-2 to the New York Islanders. Brian Pothier and Brian Sutherby scored for Washington, while Boyd Gordon (sore knee) and Matt Pettinger (broken right thumb) both sat out after being injured in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to Tampa Bay.
Washington also lost center Kris Beech in the second period after he was hit in the knee with the puck. Coach Glen Hanlon said after the game he didn't know the severity of the injury.
"Obviously we're missing some guys, but at the same time, it certainly gives some other guys a chance to play," Sutherby said. "I guess that's the way you've got to look at it."
The Capitals, who have dropped nine of their last 10 overall, are just 2-12-1 in their last 15 road games.
"We've got character in this locker room, and I still believe every night we can go out and win hockey games, and that's the way we have to be," said Sutherby, who has scored four of his seven goals this season in his last seven games. "There's no night that I think anyone's come to the rink thinking we're going to lose. We just gotta go out and work hard and try to get points."
These teams have split two meetings this season, with the road team winning each time.
