As seen in the upcoming episode to air this Thursday on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Elizabeth Edwards sheds light into what it's like to be the betrayed. Promoting her book Resilience, Elizabeth Edwards talks about overcoming the woes of a partner who has stepped out in a marriage and tasted the forbidden fruit that lies on the other side.
She tells Oprah that in terms of loving John "it's complicated." Though the two remain living together in their 28,000 sq. ft. home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina it remains unclear if the two will remain that way. Elizabeth says she is taking it "month by month."
Reille Hunter was the videographer who was hired by Edwards campaign to produce a series of webisodes for the campaign. After meeting up with John one night in a hotel bar and telling him "You are so hot." the two embarked on with an affair. A child was born around the time this affair was taking place. It is still unclear in the media if John did father the baby who was born to Reille Hunter as the father's name on the birth certificate was left blank.
How easy is it to leave after an affair, especially when children are involved?
Does being in the public eye make it harder? Easier?
Do you feel Elizabeth Edwards still loves her husband or is she staying for the kids?

One Year After Financial Crisis, Banking Reform Looks In Trouble
Health care isn't the only legislative battle President Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress have on their hands.
Sweeping regulatory reform of the financial sector—thought to be a 2009 legislative given just four months ago—may now come down to a piece-meal approach, with the White House and its allies happy to see a couple prized components signed into law this year.
"I think it's unraveling,' says former FDIC Chairman William Isaac. "It is hard for me to see how this legislation gets done this year."
Though no one is saying that publicly on Capitol Hill, advocates are facing a lack of momentum going into the current session.
The diminished prospects are more than just a crowded legislative agenda with equally complicated—yet higher-profile—reform initiatives on health care and energy. The growing lack of urgency also seems to reflect both human nature and political reality.
The financial crisis of a year ago is now more like a distant memory than a call to action. And the financial reforms themselves may be more controversial and less open to compromise or consensus than originally thought by both the White House and Congressional leaders.
"I think there's a lot of recalibration taking place," says Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), a member of the Finance Committee. The [public] hearings we had have helped. There are concerns on both sides of the aisle. I think they realize that on many fronts. That has to affect in some way how they go forward."
Even the most seemingly straight-forward proposals prompted a groundswell of criticism and opposition.
That's the case with proposals to give more regulatory powers to the Federal Reserve. One would make the central bank the systemic regulator on top of its oversight role for bank holding companies. Another would give the Fed a hand in resolving or winding down too-big-too fail firms like AIG ,which had led to embarrassing and costly federal bailouts in the crisis of 2008.
"I am opposed to that permanent bailout authority being given to the Treasury," says Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calf.), a senior member of the financial services committee. "It's an abdication of Congressional authority. You'd think that would be a little difficult to pass."
Sherman, who twice voted against the TARP bill, is more than adamant about his position, which happens to be a keystone of the GOP's regulatory reform plan.
Other proposals would eliminate or create new regulatory agencies, or merge oversight functions and create greater regulation of such products as over-the-counter derivatives.
The most controversial perhaps—the creation of a new consumer protection agency covering financial products with sweeping and powerful regulatory authority—invoked loud cries of big government among Republicans and even some Democrats.
"I know they know they way over-reached," says Corker, who along with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) has introduced stand-alone legislation on resolution authority.
"The administration put up such a bad proposal, a difficult job has been made nearly impossible," says Isaac. "They didn't address the problems they needed to address and addressed a bunch of problems they didn't need to address that had nothing to do with the crisis. You make enemies out of people needlessly."
Some observers say that was the case almost from the start.
Though Washington veterans raised potential turf battle issues as a likely stumbling block even before the White House sent its proposal to Congress in June, leaders on Capitol Hill downplayed the potential.
The White House seemingly played ball with a steady stream of leaks about its proposals and how they would affect the existing agency structure and, by implication, their Congressional committee oversight. So much for the best-laid plans.
"They thought they would come up with a rational plan," says former ten-term Republican Congressman Bill Frenzel, now with the Brookings Institution. "There's a lot of different ways you can do it and a lot of jurisdictions in the Congress and everybody has his own pal. Jurisdiction is the deep-tapped root of politics in this town and no one wants to surrender it."
It became apparent, for instance, that two powerful Democratic committee chairmen —House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Senate Banking Committee chairman Chris Dodd of Connecticut, the latter of whom is locked in a tough re-election battle —did not see eye to eye on either the proposals or the timetable.
The proposals also challenged the status quo of the financial services industry, which publicly supported the reforms in general but lobbied against many of the particulars behind closed doors.
"There's a lot of problems with this regulatory reform, so it could easily slip to next year," says one knowledgeable industry representative.
More debate and controversy is certain.
Later this month, Rep. Frank's committee will hold public hearings on the consumer agency.
"The president has asked us to do that first so that is what we doing," says a senior Congressional staffer familiar with the legislative agenda. "I don't want to say that consumer protection comes before the other things. Those things will happen when we're ready to move and we have the staff resources to deal with them."
There's already some speculation that the White House and some Congressional Democrats might be willing to settle for legislation covering the consumer protection agency and executive compensation, which, in something of a surprise move, the House passed in stand-alone form by a safe margin before the August recess.
"There's a chance they might do a slimmed-down version," adds Robert Glauber, who recently stepped down as non-executive acting chairman of Freddie Mac and served as the Bush administration's point man on the savings and loan crisis, working with Congress as it spent almost half a year fashioning post-crisis, regulatory reform legislation.
At the moment, Democrats are sticking to the original timetable of passage by the end of the year.
"We will be able to move through this pretty methodically," says the Congressional staffer. "We will have a pretty comprehensive plan in place by end of October or November. Whatever happens after that is up to the gods."
More precisely, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—and to a lesser extent Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid—will decide if the reforms proceed as individual pieces or as a package.

Hold it. HIV DOES kill people, as there is NO known cure. It can be ´slowed´ down, but there is NO CURE. This was a LOUSY opening analogy, in my opinion. Plus, just to show a lack of history by the writer, HIV/AIDS was FIRST called G.R.I.D.S. when it was first discovered: Gay Related Immuno Definciency Syndrome. Yep...back when it first came out, before being PC is was ONLY associated with homosexual behavior. My, how illumination has ´changed´ the truth? Click Here if you Like this Comment
No, I think the analogy is actually a pretty vivid but decent one. Political HIV has weakened this country´s cultural underpinnings to the point where society is now starting to accept just about anything that is bad for it. The NT of the Bible says that a sign of the end times is when good is bad and bad is good. And we are certainly getting there with this president aren´t we. Click Here if you Like this Comment
First, get the quote right:The charm of our constitutional ideal has now been long enough wound up to enable sober men who do not believe in political witchcraft to judge what it has accomplished, and is likely still to accomplish, without further winding. The Constitution is not honored by blind worship. The more open-eyed we become, as a nation, to its defects, and the prompter we grow in applying with the unhesitating courage of conviction all thoroughly-tested or well-considered expedients necessary to make self-government among us a straightforward thing of simple method, single, unstinted power, and clear responsibility, the nearer will we approach to the sound sense and practical genius of the great and honorable statesmen of 1787.Then analyze the differences between the liberal cause and the conservative cause. Mud-slinging and name calling is useless. We, as Americans, have different beliefs. That is good, and that we can disagree, sometimes sharply, is also good. Just because someone´s beliefs are different than your own doesn´t make them stupid or bad or ignorant. The liberals won the last election and they are going to enact higher taxes, gun controls and socialized health care. America had the chance to stop it and instead voted for it. There will be more elections. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Locales committed to the Constitution also receive oodles from Nanny. Cutting off the money will be like forbidding Cheetos and beer to the proletariat quashing any talk of obeying some silly old rules hammered together in 1776. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Let us get to the point...Liberalism, the Left, Socialism, Communism etc. are all a CANCER on everything they touch, but there is a cure...we just haven´t gotten to the point where enough of the takers are taken off the dole! Click Here if you Like this Comment

Perfect warm weather climbing shorts
March 14, 2013
These shorts are the PERFECT hot weather climbing and backpacking short AND they're more flattering than many other women's shorts on the market! Thin yet stretchy material with a drawstring chord inside instead of belt loops means they fit smoothly under a harness or a heavy pack hip strap. Side zipper is out of the way and fits a small bar, chapstick, or some cash. The perfect length for hot-weather climbing; as short as they can be while still longer than harness leg loops. If between sizes, get the smaller size as the stretch will look better than a bunched-up waist. I should have bought pewter rather than cairn to hide the dirt a bit better, but the dirt washes out easily. My favorite short all told!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceLove these shorts
December 09, 2008
These are now my new favorite shorts. They are really comfortable and lightweight. I take a size 6, and the small was a perfect fit for me.
Just what I wanted
August 28, 2012
I wanted a pair of lightweight shorts for hiking and casual wear, and these fit the bill. They look similar to running shorts, but they don't have a liner and have a pocket fly that fastens with velcro. I am 5 ft 8 and 130 lb, and I usually take a size small (size 4). These shorts fit perfectly with the drawstring waist cord fastened. If I leave it unfastened, the shorts sit lower (below belly button) but still look fine. The fabric is extremely lightweight and dries very fast, which is exactly what I was looking for, but it may be flimsier than some women like. The shorts are well made and very comfortable, but I can't speak to durability because they've only had a few washes so far.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of usegreat fit
July 22, 2010
I really like these shorts. They don't gap in the back, and you can squat in them without cutting off circulation. I normally wear a size 2 or 4 and the extra small fits very well.
Snug & Different
August 12, 2011
I needed some walking shorts to keep me cool in hot, humid Arkansas summers. These shorts are a good length and style; however, the fit in the hips was a bit snug so I returned them. I am 5'3", 138 lb, and wear a size 8. I was surprised there was velcro in the fly (not a true opening just extra fabric for ease in putting shorts on) plus a cord to tighten the waist. The zippered pocket is a nice plus.
Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Cons: Bad design, snug fit in hipssuper comfy and durable
August 20, 2012
I've been hiking in these shorts for several years now including some long-distance backpacking trips. The shorts are very comfortable, lightweight, and durable. I hike a lot in the desert and my hiking clothes tend not to last very long because of all the brambles and cactus, but these shorts don't have any pulls or tears at all. And they breathe super well--I never feel sticky or clammy. They clean up easily and dry in a flash. They do not stain. In fact they look as good today as when I bought them! They have just the right amount of stretch so they move with you, and coverage is good. I like the velcro in the fly, instead of a zipper, which saves a little time and weight. I love the little zipper pocket on the side which allows you to keep a car key, small amount of cash, etc. It's nice to have a secure pocket without a lot of extra weight or bulk. The only issue is that the waist runs a little large. I'm normally a medium and these shorts have a tendency to fall down, especially at the end of a long trip (I've long since lost the little string that goes around the waist). But that's more my fault than the short's. These are an excellent, lightweight, cost effective, durable, breathable hiking short.

Player Hardware
Xtreme Media Player HardwareThe size of XM DS player is quite compact. But don't let the look fool you, because this unit is designed to operate 24/7. Just like a PC, DS player is equipped with OS (Windows, Linux or Android), a powerful processor, memory storage, USB slots, ethernet port (for connection from administrator), port for control, and video output to monitor. The video output can be VGA, DVI or even HDMI. There is also an audio output; 3.5mm jack (for VGA or DVI output type). The Digital Signage Player Software is already embedded in this Digital Signage Player. This software is responsible for recognizing the uploaded contents from administrator and playback into the monitor. It is also possible to upload or edit content directly into DS player via USB. This option is useful when user is unable to upload via network due to network trouble. The main reason why DS player is small is so that it can be attached just behind the monitor using a Vesa mount. This makes the solution very neat and compact and deployable at any location. |
Player Software
Xtreme Media Player SoftwareXM Player This refers to the software application installed on the PC or a Digital Media Player which is directly connected to the digital display screen. XM Player is connected to XM Server via LAN/ WAN/ Internet and requires a simple wired connection (VGA/HDMI/DVI) to the display screen/s. It takes (downloads) the content, schedule and other real time informationto be displayed from the XM Server. XM Player pushes content on the screens, which is either pre-schedule or even on realtime basis. XM Controller Controller is that part of software which ensures the smooth and uninterupted functioning of the XM Player, optimizes display performance and disk space management. It also takes system upgrades from XM server for XM Player and resides on the Digital Media Player along with XM Player. XM Offline Player No matter how much we talk about 24/7 uninterupted connectivity it seems like a distant reality. But it should not disrupt your business plans and we at Xtreme Media understand that. So in case of any unexpected LAN/WAN/ Internet connection unavailablity we have an alternative in the form of XM Offline Player. |
Server Software
XM ServerXM server offers top notch functionality and performance, which helps reduce total cost of ownership and optimizes your budget. When you are ready to move from one to multiple locations, XMserver system provides you with solutions to get you up and running in no time. XM server performs its role via its different sub-parts namely FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, sync server, web server (CMS) & database. The major functions performed are file transfer management, pushing content to players, content management (CMS) and database storage & management. XM server is hosted in a cloud environment and operates as a background service while providing a web interface, XM Manager, for controlling the display network. Any no. of users can simultaneously log in to the XM Manager interface and control their respective screens. User will be able to access and control only those screens for which they have been licensed. Since XM Server software is hosted on the cloud there is no limit on the no of players that can be controlled through this server. As the part of content management, XM server uploads the media on the server and creates various layouts to be shown on the remote digital screens. This professional-grade tool lets you create content and aggregate data-feeds without programming. It helps ypu create playlists for the layouts to play on the digital screen on a future date. A Playlist is composed of media and templates that will be played in the order you specify. It is also XM server's mandate to push the data from server to client. The data is pushed to the display at predefined interval. The data can also be pulled by the players from the server. With the help of FTP transfer of files from server to the client takes place. The data transfer is through a secured medium to prevent any intrusion. The server makes sure that the data transferred is small in size. This is achieved by breaking the data in small size or compressing the data while transferring. This ensures that transfer is faster. Also if the network breaks down the last piece of data transfer is resumed. As a result precious time of re-downloading is saved. XM server stores scheduling, playback, media, user and reporting information in its database. The system tracks and records any program played. It also does live monitoring & retrieves detailed playback reporting from players. You are kept informed at a glance regarding the status of all players. |
Xtreme Media Digital Signage WorkflowDigital signage software is the brain of the Digital Signage System. The software can be divided in to server, player & controller which collectively perform the various tasks of the digital signage software. Basic functions performed by digital signage software are : 1. Design screen layout : How many regions do you want to divide your screen in to? XM DS software enables you to divide your display screen in to any no. of regions of any size. 2. Select background and assign appropriate content : Assign a suitable background colour or image to your layout. Assign any no. of varied media files like images, videos, flash, text, etc to play simultaneously in the different regions of the layout. 3. Set the schedule and duration : All the contents can be schedule based on time of the day, day of the week and so on. User can also setup the playback duration of each contents for each zone. You can setup the playback list for your DSS for the whole week (24/7) and if you had any new contents to be played, all you have to do is just insert/ add and edit the playback schedule. 4. Media Distribution : After the content is schedule via the scheduler, the server and player software synchronize with each other to push/pull the content at each location as soon as it gets the connectivity. 5. Media Playback : All the content gets downloaded on the players and it is played locally on the respective digital screens to which the player is attached. Since this is an automatic system, the user needs to do just turn on the player and it will automatically playback the content based on schedule. 6. Reporting : Detailed reports of what content has played on which display and at what time can be generated. Customized reports as required can be generated as it is an in-house solution. |

Dermablend Tattoo Primer, $25Catherine Piercy, Vogue
Perhaps fashion's love affair with ink can be traced back directly to Freja Beha Erichsen: In less than a decade, the Danish supermodel's eighteen tattoos-from the swirling letters that spell float on her neck to the blazing bolt of lightning on her rib cage-have propelled the trend from the realm of counterculture into the arena of personal identity.
These days, the right tattoo has emerged as a brilliant extension of signature style-see Miki Zanini's ivy-etched earlobe or Pamela Love's irrefutably cool tribal markings. Still, lately we're beginning to wonder: What if you're not so lucky? What if, like an ill-fated seasonal impulse buy, you realize you've made a mistake?
See also: Summer Skin Fixes
Such was the case for Vogue's Associate Accessories Editor Jorden Bickham, who spontaneously ducked into a tattoo parlor nine years ago. "I was seventeen. I was young and dumb," she says, sweeping her blonde hair off her neck to reveal a faded infinity symbol tattoo hidden at the nape. "It's just not me," she says ruefully. So, with her December nuptials approaching, she made a beeline to the office of New York City dermatologist Lisa Airan, M.D. "The wedding seemed like the perfect [excuse] to get it removed," says Bickham, who hopes to wear a loose chignon with her off-the-shoulder custom Alexander McQueen dress for her walk down the aisle.
Currently in her fourth treatment with Airan's Medlite laser-a Q-switch beam that fragments the tattoo's pigment so the body can sweep it away-she's already watched it fade from a double-ended black loop to a faded gray swirl. With approximately three more sessions to go, the process will ultimately be worth it, but, she adds, it's "long, painful, and expensive."
See also: Vogue's Guide to Getting Great-Looking Legs
A recent study published in the American Academy of Dermatology may offer fresh hope for the future-suggesting a new in-office protocol that combines multiple single laser treatments into an extended session known as the R20 method. While traditional tattoo removal requires a series of seven to 20 individual laser treatments spaced up to two months apart, the "R20 [study] recommends four Q-switch laser treatments, administered 30 minutes apart, which are meant to be performed in a single office visit," says New York City dermatologistMitchell Chasin, M.D. Once the full cycle is complete, patients sit for a fifth and final treatment before walking out the door-this time with a Fraxel laser, which uses fractional energy to "resurface the skin, aid in the clearance of more ink, and improve the texture of the skin," says Chasin, who has seen "up to a 60 percent improvement" fome a single R20 session. This technology is still new, however, and Airan cautions that it's not suitable for every kind of tattoo. "The concept of multiple passes is interesting," she says, "but it requires further study."
Fortunately, temporary camouflage is always an option-particularly when the lines of a beloved tattoo and, say, a strategically spliced Pucci evening dress don't match up. For quick coverage, brands like M.A.C. and Make Up For Ever offer highly pigmented, transfer-resistant foundations and concealers, respectively. Vogue's favorite vanishing act, however, arrives courtesy of Dermablend's (truly) miraculous three-step regimen of Tattoo Primer, Leg and Body Cover, and Setting Powder. It just works.

DescriptionOne of the original 13 colonies of the US, Massachusetts (still a Commonwealth) is blessed with a smattering of small climbing opportunities for the local climber. While it is unlikely that any of the 60+ areas is likely to be considered a destination area, this has been a training area for plenty of New England climbers and may provide unexpected pleasures for the incidental visitor. The tallest climb is likely less than 150 feet in the state. Nonetheless, for rock climbers seeking the vertical and able to relish in small pleasures, there is climbing to be done here.

Commercial real estate broker Charlie Staadecker, whose bid for Seattle mayor suffered a crushing public relations blow when he failed to first clear his intentions with Dominic, has issued "A Simple, Realistic, Three-Point Plan for More Effective Gun Safety" (PDF). His three, simple, realistic points?
Can't really argue with any of these points, although the first is really just a vague call to convene a panel to study the problem, and the latter two, as Staadecker acknowledges, would require changes to state law. Still, it's good to see the mayoral race being used to further the debate over gun safety.
In a phone conversation, he said he went too far when he said during the news conference that mentally ill people should be monitored.http://blogs.seattletimes.com/politicsno…
"Monitor, I think, is too strong a word, because I don't know what the experts would say."
The main thing, he said, is finding a way to help people who have mental illnesses.
"I didn't have specific guidelines," he said. "I certainly didn't want to come across that because you have a mental health, you're on a registry. Is that one solution? Perhaps."
How would he determine whether a mentally ill person should be included on the list?
Staadecker said: "If they were admitted to a mental-health hospital. … Actually, let me just think about this."

ø Ignore treex[Adventure] Rift in a Bag (DM: treex, Judge ???)
Rift in a Bag
A short adventure I cooked up to venture into DM territory, it is an adventure for 6 adventurers from levels 4~6.
1. Lilli: Level 5 Gnome @Neil1889
2. Malakai: Level 3 Tiefling Sorcerer (Elementalist) @CrimsonFlameWielder
3. Artemis Hark: Level 5 Human Hexblade Warlock @FourMonos
4. Dina: Level 6 Deva Artificer-Warlord @Son_of_Meepo
5. Nathantiel Xiloscient: Level 6 Elf Druid (Protector) @Walking Dad
6. Lerrick: Level 6 Half-Elf Cleric
Niks and Knax stand side by side, idly waiting by. The master crafter occasionally shoots a venomous look at his apprentice, which makes the poor guy flinch a little. Soon, Niks starts pacing as people who heeded his call start shuffling in.
In the room there is a large table, with about a dozen chairs around it. There is what appears to be two jugs filled with a creamy golden liquid and several miniature tankards sitting on the table.
Also, the pacing Niks appears to be muttering under his breathe, but you can only hear snippets of his mumbled grumblings "...too ambitious for his own go-...danger to him and ever-...I'll admit I see his point of view but..."

As others file in, she observes them in turn.

Artemis holds the door open for Lilli. The human holding the door moves in a manner best described as protective of the diminutive mage. The tall good looking human wears a white wolf skin cloak over his chain armor. His only weapon is the heavy, scarred iron rod that hangs from his belt.

Lilli enters through the door held open by Artemis carrying a bundle of books in front of her, a ghostly, bristly green spider clinging to her back. She deposits these on an empty chair and gives them a pat, "We'll have to drop these off before we go anywhere, won't we Lotte?" The spider suddenly scoots around to the diminuative woman's front and gives what may be an affirmative chirp.

ø Ignore CrimsonFlameWielderMalakai enters the room slightly behind Lilli and notices the mage speaking with a spider.
Giving a "hmph" under his breath, he finds one of the empty chairs at the table and takes a seat. Noticing that there were a few empty chairs still, he wondered just how dangerous this task was going to be. He hoped it leaned toward "very". If there was anything that his experience taught him it was that dicey situations allowed for a greater flexibility in what was considered allowable actions. In short, the more dangerous the situation was, the more likely Malakai would be able to get away with doing whatever it was that he wanted to do...as long as the task he was assigned to do got completed, anyway.
With a slight flourish, Malakai swept his cloak out behind him and the black fabric of his robe rippled in multiple hues. He looked around the table at each of the members who had bothered to show up for this task (whatever it was going to be), trying to determine who of them was going to be the most likely to get on his nerves...or get in his way. After a few minutes he decided that he just wasn't sure about that yet, and decided to try to get the ball rolling.
"So what is this about, Niks? And let's start off with the important bits: Just how dangerous is this task going to be, how much are you willing to shill out for it, and do you care how we get this task done, or are you just looking for results?"

ø Ignore treex"No need to get snappy! If you're not gonna bother with formalities then I'd just throw you in and see how you do...Bah, look what you've made me done, now I've gotten ahead of myself."
Niks clears his throat before continuing"Ahem, as you may well know, this is Knax, and he's the source of all this trouble."
"Now where do I start..." He pauses to gather his thoughts:"I suppose I shall begin with his apprenticeship. Knax was a promising individual when I spotted him, very creative, very intelligent. So I took him under my tutelage and taught him the fine arts of magical item crafting."
"He has approached the end of his training and for his final task, I have ordered him to come up with something of his own, something to impress me with..."
He draws out a bag from a leather pouch that he has on his waist. A large glowing rune can be seen on the bag, but it seems to be burning away. Wisps of smoke rise from the edges as an invisible force seems to be eating away at the rune.
"And this was what he made..." he said. A huge frown appears on his face, his eyebrows drawn together. "Fine craftsmanship, very ambitious enchantments..."
"But something went very wrong...You see, young Knax here wanted to improve upon the common, everyday Bag of Holding. It was supposed to seal itself when it detected malicious intent, pocket-thief proof. Made it fire-proof, water-proof, durable as leather. Items you put in would shrink as you shove them through the opening! That was a particular bit of brilliance, you can't put bigger items in normal Bags of Holdings. "
"But magic is a tricky thing, too much of it and they start producing feedback...makes things work differently. Only a true master would be able to put more than a dozen spells on one item and not have it blow up, even I can only put four or five with relative confidence. And Knax doesn't know how to counter-act the feedback's effects and this is where things got nasty. He wanted to have more storage space, double it by having another pocket dimension to access."
"Instead, a portal was opened within the bag, a portal to who-knows-where, really, but demons are swarming through it!" Niks looks back up towards the party. "And this is where you come in, I need someone to venture in and fix it. I could not do it alone, their numbers are many. Also, the deteriorating rune you see on the bag is the only thing that's keeping it sealed, the demons are trying to break out from the inside."
He swipes it off the table and stuffs it back in his pouch. "We must make haste, I have to return to my shop to reinforce the Sealing Rune. Before you make preperations, are there any questions that need answering?"

Film: Children of Heaven
Jan 01, 2008 06:07 PM »
As salaamu alaikum
I've been taking some time to sit and watch some dvds (yes, I'm actually relaxing). Anyway, I just finished watching "Children of Heaven" and wanted to share some of my observations (this is my idea of relaxing, looking at things from from a deeper perspective instead of just watching - someday I'll get away from that). On the surface it is merely a story of a brother and sister trying to solve a problem on their own without telling their parents. In this case, the missing shoes and how can they both go to school while sharing one pair and not letting anyone know there is a problem. This in itself was heartwarming. Of course I do think that Ali had no choice, afterall it was his moment of carelessness that started the problem. I seized that opportunity to talk to my own 9 year old son about the importance of paying attention to where he puts things and also how much responsibility Ali had for helping his family so he (my son) should be grateful that I don't ask him to do a lot to help me.
I found it interesting how Ali, in his effort to make sure his sister Zahra didn't tell, he kept giving her small gifts - a new pencil and a click pen. Makes me wonder how much of that kind of stuff goes on between my own kids....hmmm.
I did note that there were some underlying stories/lessons in this film. For example, although Zahra was able to find out who had her shoes (Roya) she didn't confront the little girl and once she found out that Roya's father was blind she in essence let the matter rest. When Zahra dropped the pen Ali gave her and Roya found it, she returned it. This suggests that if Roya had known that the shoes were Zahra's she would have returned those as well. How many of us can say that such would happen.
The film also reflected on how what we take for granted, other people cherish. Again, although the focus was a pair of shoes, it is symbolic I believe of greater things. But even still if we focus on shoes, I'm sure we all have more than one pair, probably more like half a dozen or more pairs but realistically how many pairs can we wear at one time? And when the pair we wear most often become worn we don't often think of having them repaired, rather we toss them out and get another pair without giving a second thought. I know I'm guilty of having too many pairs and still find myself sticking to only one or two as my standard wear.
I also found the honesty and integrity of the parents most admirable. The scene where the father was cutting the sugar that belonged to the mosque and how he explained to Zahra that he couldn't use any of it for his tea because it was entrusted to him but didn't belong to him. Many would probably figure such an insignificant amount of sugar for one cup of tea wouldn't be missed, but the honest person wouldn't care if no one else knew it was missing; he/she would know.
The foot race at the end was great. Ali wasn't concerned about winning, he just wanted to be third so he could get the sneakers and exchange them for a pair of shoes for his sister. Most people would be more concerned with being first. Finally, the patience the children had while dealing with this issue was in the end rewarded since the father bought a new pair of sneakers for Ali and a new pair of shoes for Zahra, although the film ended before they received them. This reflects it seems how important patience really is; this is a lesson I need to remember because I know how impatient I can be sometimes when things don't happen when I need them to.
If anyone else has seen this film, I'd be interested in hearing your perspective on it.

It sounded interesting so I did an online search for it.
It say's it's in French with English sub titles?

As-salaamu alaykum, Faizah!
I loooove this director (actually, my husband found him before I did). He's now on a mission to collect all of his movies, but I have to say, this one and
The Color of Paradise
are my two favorites. Soo much more to these films than the simplicity it's filmed with. Imagine, a movie with no special effects, having the most beautiful cinematography. Some people like this one better than The Color of Paradise, but the two really don't compare. They both have the same purity, but different messages conveyed.
About the shoe movie:
You have a pretty good commentary on it, can't add much more to it, except, my parents loved it too. It reminded them of how life was in Pakistan. They think we're spoiled because we haven't had to share shoes with siblings before.
"My Lord! Increase me in knowledge." (Qur'aan 20.114)
"Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!" (23:109)
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves..."(3:10)

Bland fresh cream with slightly bitter Chinese green tea powder to make the truffle centre.
The shell is made of white chocolate with green tea powder. The sweetness of white chocolate and bitterness of the green tea are in good balance. The taste starts from sweet and later leave a bitter/refreshing feeling in your touge. The complexity of the taste makes the chocolate very special.
