Bonk Breaker Energy Bars Almond Cherry Chunk -- 12 Bars
At 66 I still cycle with some strong riders. I need some extra push to keep up with them, so I started using some of your great products. I especially like the Bonk Breakers. I just finished a century ride with energy to boost using Bonk Breakers.
July 6, 2013
My nutrition is restricted by gluten, soy and dairy sensitivities. There are very few protein bars available I am able to consume. Bonk Breaker, by far, provides a superior higher protein bar.

Replacement Keys
Posted 17 March 2009 - 03:50 PM
Unfortunately my jacket was stolen on a night out last weekend with my car keys in the pocket.
The key stolen was the one with the buttons on it for remote locking and opening the boot.
I still have another key without buttons which can open the doors and start the engine. It has a blue bit at the top corner with the "W1" on it.
I've been told getting a new key with the buttons on it from my dealer will cost me over a hundred quid, obviously i'd rather not have to pay as much as this!
Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives to this?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Have something to contribute?

I got a quote on my 58 plate fiesta to get an extra spare keyless entry fob for my car and it costs over a hundred quid for that, but luckily ford gave me a spare one anyway as im supposedlt a good customer with 4 new cars in 4 years..
good luck!

TBH rather than worrying about a key replacement I would be thinking more about getting the locks changed. Your coat was stolen so whats saying they didnt follow you home and then will come back for the car at a later date? Report the theft to the Police cos if they do and you havent your insurance might not pay out if they find it was taken with keys stolen in a jacket and not reported.
Wise words SY99,My fezzi came with 2 remote keys and my friend went to her FMD and got another remote key cut for her Mondeo Ghia and coded for £40 but to be honest I really got to agree with SY99 get the locks changed as soon as possible,some insurance companys cover this in their schedule (mine does zurich) as well as some of your credit companys will change the locks if you have got a credit card protection system with them like sentinal, best of luck ,but do report it and get the locks changed

Coverage: NFL
10:30 PM ET, September 2, 2011
CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA
SEATTLE -- Terrelle Pryor's night consisted of holding a clipboard, with an earpiece hooked to his left ear and a football tucked under his left arm.
So much for Pryor getting any playing time before his five-game suspension kicks in.See ya in October, Terrelle.Thomas Clayton and Vai Taua had short touchdowns runs, Jeff Reed kicked two field goals, and the Seattle Seahawks closed out the preseason with an uninspiring 20-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Friday night.While Seattle's offense showed some bright spots that should make fans a little less apprehensive heading into the regular season opener on Sept. 11 in San Francisco, most of the focus was on the Raiders' sideline and if Pryor would get into the game.Raiders coach Hue Jackson hadn't committed to anything related to Pryor and as the final minutes of the fourth quarter ticked away, it was Kyle Boller continuing to take snaps and Pryor serving as a spectator.Jackson said he was briefly tempted to give Pryor a few snaps, but ultimately decided he didn't want to put Pryor in a situation where he might not yet be familiar with what the Raiders were trying to do."I had thought about it, but again there was so much pressure and having to call plays I know he hadn't had a chance to practice," Jackson said. "I didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable situation. I don't think that's fair to the kid."While Pryor was the focal point for Oakland, the Seahawks were bitten by the fear every coach faces going into the final preseason game. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said that guard Robert Gallery and defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson both sustained knee sprains that are "significant enough we have to be concerned about next week."Gallery was one of Seattle's marquee free-agent signings, coming over from Oakland to provide a veteran presence on Seattle's young offensive line."Those are two significant shots we've got to take a look at and see where Robert will be and where Jimmy will be for the next week," Carroll said.Friday was the final chance for Oakland to see Pryor on the field before he serves his five-game suspension handed down by commissioner Roger Goodell as part of his entry into the NFL supplemental draft.It's been less than two weeks since Oakland selected the controversial former Ohio State star in the third round of the supplemental draft. He signed a four-year contract with the Raiders a few days later. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes after an investigation into the team's memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job."I think the young man can play quarterback," Jackson said. "Right now it's not really about him, it's about the team, but this young man, he can throw it, he works at it and it's important to him."Reed kicked field goals of 25 and 36 yards, and Sebastian Janikowski made a 34-yarder for the Raiders.While the majority of the starters for both teams were on the bench resting well before halftime, there were some notable exceptions. Seattle rookie right tackle James Carpenter, who struggled badly last week in Denver, played nearly the entire game, only taking a second quarter break when Breno Giacomini got reps with the Seahawks No. 1 offensive line.Fellow Seattle rookie lineman John Moffitt played three full quarters before giving way in the fourth.With Carpenter and Moffitt playing better, Seattle starting quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was finally given time to throw.Jackson played less than one entire quarter. He was 5 of 7 for 88 yards, but forced one throw toward Golden Tate in the end zone and was intercepted by Oakland safety Tyvon Branch. Even though Jackson was back on the sideline before the end of the first, his two drives nearly created two scores and rolled up 100 yards of offense.Tate's status on the Seahawks' final roster was put to rest with an impressive showing.Tate had five catches for 79 yards, including a 43-yard reception from Jackson where he beat safety Michael Huff off the line of scrimmage. Later in the first half, Tate returned a kickoff 34 yards and at the end of the half had a 43-yard punt return that set up a field-goal attempt at the end of the half."It took a little pressure off of me," Tate said. "I definitely saw the blogs saying I could be cut, released, traded or whatever so hopefully I showed the coaches that I can play this game and they'll keep me around a little longer."Oakland went with its starting offense for much of the first half with Jason Campbell not checking out until the final few minutes of the second quarter. Campbell went 8 for 11 for 76 yards in his final action before the Raiders' opener Sept. 12 at Denver."I felt good. I thought the offensive line did a great job protecting us. Once again I don't think I got touched," Campbell said. "I was able to make rhythm passes and get the ball out quickly. We just got to learn to finish drives."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Component speaker systems are the best way to get high-quality sound in your vehicle. You'll find a wide variety of systems available, so choosing a set can be a bit daunting. But if you keep a few key points in mind, you'll make a smart choice.
When you're shopping for speakers, don't forget the tweeter. Tweeters reproduce the upper frequencies in your music they're what makes your highs sparkle and come to life so they're vital for proper soundstaging and stereo separation.
by Todd Cabell, Danae Marshall
A 5-minute video that shows the basics of installing a component speaker system in a car.
by John Pollard
Installing tweeters in your factory tweeter locations, or custom-mounting them on the upper part of your doors, will give you better stereo imaging and raise the soundstage to your ears. You'll hear better placement of instruments in recordings, and you'll enjoy more depth of sound. And they might not be as difficult to install as you may think.
Component speaker systems are the audiophile's choice for superior mobile sound. But what are component speaker systems, exactly, and are they the right choice for your vehicle?
Brand-name speakers will make a big difference in your car's sound, there's no doubt about it. But with some simple, relatively inexpensive extra steps, you can make them sound even better.
Properly tweaked, your car or truck can be a fantastic place to listen to music. But in order to achieve that level of enjoyment, you need to compensate for some of its natural limitations. Achieving great imaging is a matter of understanding your components, and how they interact with your vehicle and the people sitting in it.
Even the best component system can sound better with a few tweaks. Here are some keys to help ensure you get the best possible sound out of your new investment.
Adding brand-name component speakers is a great way to improve the sound of your vehicle, but installation can involve a few more steps than 2- or 3-way speakers. We'll take a look at the most common mounting options chosen for component speaker systems.
by Crutchfield Writing Team
Installing component speakers in your vehicle can make a big difference in the sound, but there's a bit more involved than in installing regular full-range speakers.
What kind of a difference do new car speakers really make? How difficult will my new speakers be to install? Will my factory radio power aftermarket speakers? Those, and other common questions, are answered in our FAQ.
Getting the right speakers to fit your car doesn't have to be confusing, thanks to Crutchfield's extensive research and database.
A helpful guide to the technical specifications and terminology you'll see when you're shopping for car speakers.
While most speakers feature the same basic components, the materials used, the quality of the construction, and the sophistication of the design can greatly impact how a speaker sounds. Here's a close look at what makes Focal speakers sound so good.

Building iPhone Apps Blog - Now for sale
Today, I have a major announcement to make regarding this blog. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now. Today, I'm ready to make the announcement.
I created this blog in 2009 when I started to build iPhone apps. I wanted to share my discoveries while crafting these apps. As time went by, I found out that writing in a foreign language (I'm French speaking), takes energies that aren't spent on writing apps. So I had to make a choice. I made it this week.
This blog (and the domain names linked to it) are now for sale. I'm hosting with Squaresace (they are really nice by the way) and I paid for three years (two years are left in the contract). I'm using www.BuySellAds.com for online ads serving so I have monthly ads revenues (I can show report of last year revenues). I can prove the site popularity with Google Analytics.
I'm looking for serious people only. Don't bother to ask questions just for curiosity. I know how much money I want so I won't go under that amount. I'm not in a rush to sell. Payment via PayPal only. I'll ask for down payment to start the transfer process with a final payment at the end of it (US$ only).
If you are looking for a quick start in publishing content for iOS developers and make some money while doing it, this is your chance. Don't miss this opportunity.
You can contact me at jfmartin1967 at gmail com if you are really interested.

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
The rights of the husband is a primary issue here. There are numerous hadiths, which urge women to look after the household and their husbands. What is their significance?
Similarly, from what I understand a husband is technically only required to provide basic maintenance for his wife (i.e. food, lodging, clothing etc). Anything beyond that is considered good will on his part. The wife may not work, or go outside the house without his permission. What is the legal (sharia) consideration here.
Please provide as much detail as possible including rulings on these matters according the various madhabs. This is a very confusing issue and there are simply too many "opinions" out there, but not a lot of fact.
Walaikum assalam,
There are two things to remember:
1. There are legal limits the Shariah lays down;
2. There is a spirit the Shariah enjoins.
The first is meant to ensure that the latter is upheld, even in adverse situations, even when things otherwise 'break down'.
In the Hanafi school, the legal limits are that the wife must obey the husband in anything lawful, related to their marriage, as long as there is no harm or contravention of the Shariah in it, or the taking of others' rights (including her own, such as her right to dispose of her own property as she wishes).
In terms of providing, in the Hanafi school, the soundest position is that the husband has to provide for the wife according that which is customarily acceptable, based on the social and economic standing of both husband and wife.
In terms of the spirit of the Islamic marriage, it is based on the Qur'anic injunction of "love and mercy," with both parties realizing the full purport of the Qur'anic injunction that, "Men are the caretakers of women,� and the rights and duties it places on each spouse . Fuqaha have mentioned that all the rulings of the fiqh of marriage go back to this verse:
Men are caretakers (qawwamuna) of women,
because of that through which Allah has favored one over another,
and because of what they spend of their property
(Qur'an 4:34).
To further understand this, the following article (taken from Sidi Mas�ud Khan�s excellent site: http://www.masud.co.uk) is helpful.
� Nuh Ha Mim Keller 1995
Allah says in it,
Men are caretakers (qawwamuna) of women, because of that through which Allah has favored one over another, and because of what they spend of their property (Qur'an 4:34 ).
Before trying to understand this in a knowledge-based way, it is worth remembering that the Qur'an severely blames whoever would speak on religious matters without knowledge, as Allah says in surat al-Najm,
They have no knowledge of it whatsoever: they but follow opinion, and opinion avails nothing in place of the Truth (Qur'an 53:28) .
Although originally revealed about unbelievers who gave the angels names, this verses concluding note is a cogent reminder until the end of time that we must make sure of what we say about religion. For this reason, my advice, to myself and to every Muslim, is that when seeking knowledge on any question in Islam, one should rely on the top scholars in the field that deals with the question; in this case, the Imams of tafsir or Qur'anic exegesis.
This is more necessary today than ever, when so much Islamic thought abounds and so little of what in previous centuries of Islamic learning was called ilm or "knowledge". The good news reaches us that some academic celebrity or other has become a Muslim, only to be followed a few months later by the bad news: that he has written a new book about Islam. The knowledge of Islam, encompassing the entire ethical range of human experience, this world and the next, has never been considered attainable without learning it from those who have a working familiarity with it, the traditional ulama. It was once said to Imam Abu Hanifa, "In such and such a mosque there is a circle that discusses fiqh (lit. the "understanding of fine points of the religion")". He asked, "Do they have a master over them?" and they said no. He said, "They will never understand" (Ibn Muflih, al-Adab al-shariyyawa al-minah al-mariyya. 3 vols. Cairo n.d. Reprint. Cairo: Maktaba Ibn Taymiya, 1398/1978, 3. 374).
It is true that if such a celebrity confines himself to description of some particular Islamic phenomenon in ways he has been previously trained to, there is perhaps no harm in it. But when he tries an ethical analysis of what the Qur'an (or hadith) tells Muslims to do, he has passed into explaining the command of Allah, and in such a case, if he does not know the interpretive dimensions of that command--the aspects of Arabic, the figurative, the literal, the types of metaphor, the context in which various verses were revealed, which verses supersede others and which are superseded, the points on which there is scholarly consensus (ijma) and the points on which there is not, the tenets of faith of Ahl al-Sunna, and a great deal more--he will fail.
Interpreting the word qawwamuna in the above verse is just such an ethical analysis, with human implications too tremendous to be left to amateurs. We will therefore turn to what some of the principle Imams of tafsir or Qur'anic exegesis have said about it. One of the earliest tafsirs in print is by Imam Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d. 310/923), who says:
Allah, majestic be His praise, means by Men are caretakers of women that they are in charge of their womenfolk, in disciplining and guidance, respecting the rights that they [women] owe to Allah and to them. Because of that by which Allah has favored one over another means because of that through which Allah has favored men over their wives, since men must give them their marriage payment ( mahr) and spend of their wealth to support them, and save them their pains and effort: that is the favoring of Allah Most Blessed and Exalted of men over women, and is why they have become caretakers of them who have authority over them regarding those of their affairs that Allah has given them charge of . . . (Jami al-bayanan tawilay al-Qur'an. 30 vols. Cairo n.d. Reprint (30 vols. in 15). Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1405/1984, 5 . 57).
Al-Tabari then mentions the chains of narrators that transmit the above exegesis from some of the earliest scholars, such as Ibn Abbas (d. 68/ 687), al-Dahhak (d. A. H. 102), al-Suddi (d. A. H. 127), and Sufyan al-Thawri (d. 161/778) . Then he mentions, with a chain of transmission that ends with Hasan al-Basri (d. 110/728) that a man slapped his wife, and she went to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), who wanted to let her take retaliation (qisas) against her husband [by striking him back in reprisal], but Allah revealed Men are caretakers qawwamuna) of women, because of that through which Allah has favored one over another, and because of what they spend of their property, so the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) summoned the man, recited the verse to him and said, "I wanted one thing, but Allah wanted another" (ibid. , 58).
In fact, although the hadith scholar Imam al- Baghawi (d. 510/1117) also mentions this event in his Maalim al-Tanzil, neither he nor al-Tabari can produce an acceptable chain of transmission of it back to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), so for religious purposes, it is not well-documented enough to rely on for the verses interpretation, and al-Tabari's first interpretation is sounder.
But whatever the sabab al-nuzul or "original occasion of revelation" of the verse, the intended meaning is not confined to that alone. As the Yemeni shari'a scholar and judge Abdullah Mahfuz Baalawi says, "The interpretive principle established by the scholarly consensus (ijma) of specialists in methodological bases (usul) of Sacred Law is that the point of primary texts [of the Qur'an and sunna] lies in the generality of their lexical significance, not the specificity pf their historical context [emphasis mine] (al-Sunna wa al-bid'a. Kuwait: Matabi al-Wazzan, 1404/1984, 33).
In light of this important principle, the exegetes we will now examine adduce the significance of this verses placement in the Qur'an (for the order is also divinely revealed), coming as it does after the provisions for Islamic estate division (irth) in surat al-Nisa. The Arabic grammarian and exegete Abu Hayyan al-Nahwi (d. 754/1353) says of the verse "Men are caretakers of women":
Because Allah Most High has mentioned [in preceding verses] the matter of men and women acquiring their appointed share and their estate-division inheritance, He [here] apprises them that men are in charge of the interests of women. Caretakers (qawwamuna) is an intensive form [indicating something done much]. Because Allah has favored one over another means "because of Allah's favoring some men over others, this man having been given more sustenance (rizq) than that man, this man being better off than that one". And because they spend of their property means "upon women" . The word ma [lit. what, translated above in the citation of al-Tabari as "because of that through which Allah has favored," and secondly, "because of what they spend"] is [rather] ma masdariyya or "the indefinite pronoun signifying a verbal noun" in both instances . [Thus meaning "because of Allah's favoring the one," and "because of their spending of their property,"] (Tafsir al-nahr al-maddmin al-Bahr al-muhit. 2 vols. in 3. Beirut: Dar al-Jananand Mu'assasa al-Kutub al-Thaqafiyya, 1407/1987, 1. 45758).
Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi is another exegete who considers the relation of the verse "Men are caretakers of women" to other verses: Know that Allah Most High has said [two verses previously], ". . . and not to long for that with which Allah has preferred some of you above others" (Qur'an 4:32), a verse that we said was revealed because some women made remarks about Allah's favoring men over them in estate division inheritance [by certain male heirs receiving twice the share of their female counterparts] . So Allah mentions in this verse that He only favored men over women in estate division because men are the caretakers of women. For although both spouses enjoy the usufruct of each others person, Allah has ordered men to pay women their marriage portion, and to daily provide them with their support, so that the increase on one side is met with an increase on the other--and so it is as though there is no favoring at all . This clarifies the verses arrangement and order (Tafsir al-Fakhral-Razi 32 vols. Beirut 1401/1981. Reprint (32 vols. in 16). Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1405/1985, 10. 90).
Finally, the more fiqh-oriented exegesis of al-Kaya al-Harrasi notes that while Allah has mentioned men's support of women in verses such as the one in surat al-Tahrim " Let him who possesses plenty spend of his plenty; and let him whose provision is straitened spend of what Allah has given him" (Qur'an 65:7), in this verse [Men are caretakers (qawwamuna) of women], He mentions the necessary cause (`illa) for this support, so scholars have naturally inferred from the two verses taken together that whenever a husband is unable to support his wife, he is no longer her caretaker: she is not obliged to remain at home [should he request it] in any school of jurisprudence, and according to the school of al-Shafi'i (Allah be well pleased with him), she is entitled to have the marriage annulled. He is no longer a caretaker or entitled to oblige her to remain at home because he has vitiated the objective of protecting her by marriage, for the aim of marriage is her security (Ahkam al-Qur'an. 4 vols. Cairo n.d. Reprint (4 vols. in 2). Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyya, 1405/1985, 2. 449).
In answer to your question then, our exegetes clarify how the meaning of
qawwamuna or "caretakers" involves legal rights and obligations on the
part of both men and women. It entails that women have the right to security,
protection, and to be free from the thought of having to support themselves.
Even if a woman has millions, she is entitled to be completely supported by
her husband and can have her marriage annulled if he is unable to. And it entails
that a man has charge of his wife's interests, supervision, and discipline.
And Allah knows best.
I have the following article, but no longer have the source for it:
The first thing that every married Muslim must realize is that one's spouse is first and foremost another Muslim . He/she is one's brother and sister in Islam. Therefore, at minimum all rights that fall upon a Muslim due to the general brotherhood of Islam are also due to one's spouse. It is a sad situation for a Muslim brother or sister to respect their Muslim brothers and sisters outside of the house but for the situation in the house to degenerate into less even than that minimum standard of respect and kindness inside the household. Therefore the first step is for every Muslim to open some of the books about respect, manners (adab) and courtesy towards other Muslims and to realize that all of those principles apply to their partner in their house. The Prophet (sas) stressed this when he said:'
"Laa yu'minu ahadukum hatta ayu hibbuli akheehima yuhibbu li nafsihi."
"No one of you has believed until he loves for his brother what he loves
for himself. " Bukhari & Muslim
Clearly, husband and wife have even greater rights and obligations toward each other due to the great and important contract which ha been transacted between them and on which basis they live together. In the Qur'an, Allah states that if a husband wishes to divorce one wife and marry another that he may not take back any of the dowry which was given no matter how large it was. Then, Allah says:
{Wa kaifa ta'khudhoonahu wa qad afdhaa ba'dhukum ilaa ba'dhin wa adhadhna minkum meethaaqan ghaleedhan.}
{How could you take it once you have entered unto one another and they (the
women) have taken from you and awesome covenant . } An-Nisaa:21
Because of this "awesome covenant", rights and obligations between husband and wife should not be looked at coldly or legalistically. Spouses should strive to make other happy and take into consideration the needs, abilities and weaknesses of the other. Since in most cases, neither spouse is completely fulfilling their obligations, they should both realize and acknowledge their own shortcomings.
The Prophet (sas) in particular advised the husbands to treat their wives in the best way - perhaps due to their greater authority in the household and their greater strength. This is clear in the following hadith:
"Khairukum khairukum li ahlihi waanaa khairukum li ahliy."
"The best of you is the best of you to their family and I am the best of
you to my family. "
"Istawsoobi an-nisaa'i khairan fa inna hunna khuliqamin dhila'in wa innaa' wajashai'in fi yadh-dhi la'ia'laahufain
dhahabta tuqeemuhu kasartahu wa in taraktahu lam yazala' wajafastawsoobi an-nisaa'i khairan."
"I entreat you to treat women well for they have been created from a rib
and the most crooked part of a rib is the upper part. If you insist on straightening
it, you will break it. If you leave it, it will remain crooked. So, I
entreat you to treat women well. " Bukhari
Actually, both spouses usually fail to some extent in fulfilling their obligations. Therefore, before criticizing the other or being harsh with the other due to some shortcoming, each one should look first to themselves and realize what wrong they may be doing.
There are some rights which each of the two spouses has over the other. These include:
Allah said in the Qur'an:
{Wala hunna mithlu alladhiy 'alaihinna bi al-ma'roofi}
{And for them (women) similar to what is upon them according to what is
right. } Al-Baqarah:228
Commenting on this verse, Ibn Katheer wrote that the spouses have similar rights upon one another and each must do his or her best to fulfill the other's rights. In the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (sas), stated:
"...wa ittaqoo Allaha fiy an-nisaa'i.Fa innakum akhadhtumu hunnabi amaaniAllahi wa istahlaltum furooja hunnabi
kalimati Allahi wa lakum 'alaihinna allayooti' nafurushakum ahad antakrahoonahu fa in
fa'alna dhalika fadhriboohunna dharbanghaira mubarrihin walahunna 'alaikum rizquhunna wa kiswatuhunnabi
" . . . And beware of Allah concerning women. You have taken them
as a trust from Allah and have made their bodies lawful to you by the word of
Allah. You have the right upon them that they no allow anyone in your house
that you dislike . If they do that, you may hit them in a way which does
no harm. They have a right over you for sustenance and clothing according
to what is right. " Muslim

Creating Without Conflict report
19 November 2013
The worlds of the media, arts and entertainment are often seen as glamorous, but a survey of 4,000 workers has revealed these industries are "hotspots" of bullying, with more than half of those questioned (56%) saying they had been bullied, harassed or discriminated against at work.
People who contributed to a survey, commissioned by the Federation of Entertainment Unions, ranged from household names, top screenwriters and performers to those at the beginning of their careers.
The results showed shocking levels of ill-treatment and inappropriate behaviour and a culture of silence, with only a third of those suffering bullying and harassment reporting the incidents.

Part of a manager's job, apparently, is to keep clients from making bad decisions.
Hilary Swank's manager and longtime friend, Jason Weinberg, failed in that capacity when he allowed the actress to appear at a birthday party for Chechnya's president, Ramzan Kadyrov, so she reportedly fired him. According to the Independent, two of her agents at CAA are expected to be let go next.
RELATED: Famous Celeb Apologies
After news surfaced of Swank's participation in feting a dictator who is believed to have tortured and murdered his political adversaries, she was slammed by human rights advocates.
"Ramzan Kadyrov is linked to a litany of horrific human rights abuses," Human Rights Watch said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter three weeks ago. "It's inappropriate for stars to get paid to party with him. It bolsters his image and legitimizes a brutal leader and his regime. And getting paid to be part of such a lavish show in Chechnya trivializes the suffering of countless victims of human rights abuses there."

Swank later apologized publicly for appearing at the event, which Seal and Jean Claude Van Damme also attended.

Solar eclipse blazes a 'ring of fire' this weekend
For the first time in 18 years, millions of people can watch the moon pass in front of the sun, exposing a brilliant scorching halo for up to 4.5 minutes in an annular solar eclipse.
People lucky enough to be in Southeast Asia and the western U.S. this weekend will have the chance to view the first annular solar eclipse of its kind since 1994, according to NASA. Rather than a complete blocking out of the sun, as seen in a total eclipse, a "ring of fire" will radiate from behind the moon as it passes in front of the fiery globe.
The transformation will begin on Sunday as the moon makes its voyage across the sun; at one point, as much as 94 percent of the sun will be covered, according to NASA.
"Hundreds of millions of people will be able to witness the event," NASA Science's Tony Phillips wrote on NASA's Science News Web page. "The eclipse zone stretches from southeast Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western parts of North America."
Related stories
"Because some of the sun is always exposed during the eclipse, ambient daylight won't seem much different than usual," Phillips wrote. "Instead, the event will reveal itself in the shadows. Look on the ground beneath leafy trees for crescent-shaped sunbeams and rings of light."
This is a video by NASA Science about this weekend's annular solar eclipse:

Transylvania Co. Attempted Murder-Suicide
Updated: Monday, March 18 2013, 09:23 AM EDT
Shortly after 7:00 am Sunday morning, deputies from the Transylvania County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence off of Oak Ridge Road regarding a gunshot wound.
Deputies located a 41 year old female who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
She was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Officers then responded to her residence where they discovered the deceased body of a 47 year old male.
The deceased male had died as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The male and female shared the residence on Oak Ridge Road.
While the motive for the shooting is still unclear, investigators believe this is an attempted murder-suicide.
The names of both parties are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The retiring president of the University of Louisiana System says higher education's ongoing budget woes will make it harder to attract his replacement and were one of the reasons he decided to leave the job.
Randy Moffett's last day was Friday after four decades in higher education. He says the cuts complicated efforts of the state's largest university system to maintain a focus on increased performance.
Despite the problematic financial picture, Moffett says he's optimistic the UL System will attract a quality leader looking for a challenge.
Moffett's retirement comes after repeated budget cuts have stripped $210 million in annual state financing from the UL System. More than $115 million in tuition increases covered part of the gap, while more than 1,300 jobs and 217 academic programs were eliminated.

JURIST Guest Columnists Michael Hausfeld and Kristen Ward Broz of Hausfeld, LLP argue that the jurisdiction of US courts should apply to any entity that has a presence within the US...
What business does a case [alleging that a Dutch oil company aided and abetted human rights violations committed against Nigerian citizens by the Abacha dictatorship in Nigeria] have in the courts of the United States? ... There's no connection to the United States whatsoever.
In stating our right to be a nation, we "held" certain "truths to be self-evident." Among these truths was the principle that all people were "endowed" with "certain inalienable" rights to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." At the time, this was a heretical statement defying the supremacy of sovereigns in both fact and law. The force of authority for these principles was the unwritten precept that no king or queen had incontestable dominion over his or her subjects and no government could take away or infringe rights basic to fundamental human dignity. These were not merely the inviolate rights of American colonists who sought only freedom from "taxation without representation." These were rights belonging to all people which existed and persisted throughout the "course of human events." The "self-evident truths" that forged our union were reduced to writing to which our nation swore our allegiance. Ours was the first among nations to so break the yoke of colonial rule. It was our mark of distinction, the symbol of our "uniqueness" [PDF]. As empires toppled, however, our creed became the core of virtually every emerging nation's proclamation of independence. Human rights instruments "transformed" constitutional thought and writings. New constitutions incorporated rights and protections and provided for domestic enforcement of rights obligations. The twentieth century also saw a growing consensus among civilized nations to craft and adopt the principles of fundamental human rights as an immutable core of international law. Hundreds of jurists and commentators in addition to the general custom, practice and usage of nations crystallized these rights as norms of behavior binding on all nations, regardless of the consent of the nation itself. As expressed in Filartiga:
[I]n the twentieth century the international community has come to recognize the common danger posed by the flagrant disregard of basic human rights ... [h]umanitarian and practical considerations have combined to lead the nations of the world to recognize that respect for fundamental human rights is in their individual and collective interest.
Our nation has constantly recognized and acted on this connection. We seek to educate and influence others to honor these universal obligations. We participate in sanctions or military intervention to end their violation. Through legislation, we made it the business of our courts to provide a forum to enforce these "norms" of behavior. We invoked our jurisdiction to make our courts available to impose accountability upon any person or entity having a presence in the country. Individuals or corporations that seek the protection, rights and privileges of our laws must also accept the countervailing exposures. By residing or doing business within our borders, an individual or corporation becomes accountable for gross violations of human rights which he perpetrated or knowingly participated in, wherever those violations occurred. The location of the offenses is irrelevant to the duty to adjudicate. A state or a nation, as stated in Filartiga, has "a legitimate interest in the orderly resolution of disputes among those within its borders[.]" The human rights decisions of our courts have, to date, given effect to these principles. They have been a "small but important step in the fulfillment of the ageless dream to free all people from brutal violence." Shell, and others who support its position in Kiobel, seek to reverse that step and force us, instead, to take one giant leap against mankind. If, as a nation, we choose to now prohibit our courts from holding "enemies" of humanity accountable for their acts of inhumanity, then it must be done honestly, openly and consistently. We would need to remain mute in the presence of extreme cruelty inflicted by others in other states; withdraw from and withhold military or other forms of intervention to prevent other nations' internal abuses; renounce the self-evident truth that every person has a right to basic human dignity that cannot be abrogated by any government or individual; and close the doors of our courts to the world's oppressed while opening the gates of our liberty to the greatest offenders on earth. Abandoning accountability may enable the nation to blind itself to surrounding evil. But doing so would contravene the essence of our founding ideals and beliefs. Although justice in our nation may be blind, it must not be absent.

The Obama
administration is rebuffing Israeli pressure to sharpen its threats to Iran over
its nuclear program.
Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Sunday for the United States to declare "red

Tensions between
the U.S. and Israel have grown in recent weeks over reports suggesting that
Israel was mulling an attack on Iran without White House approval. Tel Aviv has
repeatedly threatened Tehran with strikes on its nuclear

atomic bombs, a claim Iran strongly rejects. Tehran insists its nuclear program
is for peaceful purposes. Iran has warned

All those who have asked The President of Egypt to change the laws, there, so that all their minorities get equal rights, please raise your hands !
Those of you have raised your hands, can now have a say about Myanmar.
What!!! no hands raised ???
ETHNIC violence is continuing and spreading in the state of Rakhine, in western Myanmar, between Buddhists and Muslims from the Rohingya minority. Six Buddhists and an unknown number of Rohingyas have been reported killed in recent days near the ancient town of Mrauk-U. At least ten nearby Muslim villages have been burned.
The first fires followed reports that three Buddhists had been killed by Muslims. Two of the dead men were identified as Aung Moe, 28, and Tha Kyaw, 31. Two Burmese soldiers were reportedly also injured by gunfire. Their condition is unknown. One elderly Muslim was reported to have died in the fires, in which, according to Myanmar's official news agency, 1,039 houses were destroyed in the first day's rioting.
In the ensuing violence, one local resident said "many" Muslims had been killed, including children, and many more houses burnt. Three more Rakhine Buddhists were also reported dead, with one shot by soldiers, while apparently trying to prevent the fighting.
The army has been blocking access to the two villages torched on Monday 22nd, called Tharat Ok and Parein (according to local residents). So it has been impossible to verify these reports.
From about nine in the morning on October 22nd, smoke could be seen rising on the outskirts of Mrauk-U. Hundreds of Rakhine Buddhists, from the surrounding area, mostly young men headed for the scene by foot and on motorcycles, tuk-tuks and crowded lorries. They armed themselves with a variety of crude weapons—swords, spears, sickles, pitchforks, cleavers, slingshots and petrol bombs. Asked where they were going one tugged at an imaginary beard, and made a throat-cutting gesture.
On Monday night, Mrauk-U itself was guarded by similarly armed gangs of young men, and some Rakhine villagers came into town for shelter. The next day reports came of fresh fires at two different villages, followed by the new killings.
Rakhine has been tense since June when dozens died and tens of thousands were displaced in ethnic violence. Some 75,000, mostly Rohingyas, are still in camps in the state capital, Sittwe.
Since then the Muslim villages near Mrauk-U have been sealed off. Their inhabitants are barred from entering the town, and there have been efforts to enforce a commercial boycott by threatening Rakhine merchants who have tried to trade with them.
The latest trouble started on the evening of October 21st, when a Rakhine Buddhist trader was reportedly killed by a mob in Mrauk-U after he was caught selling a large quantity of rice to Muslims.
One local Rakhine resident says that the first fires were started deliberately by Muslims themselves, with the intent of destroying an old and damaged house, but he concedes that part of the problem may be that the Muslims are "hungry and thirsty". The army is now said to be delivering food, water and medical supplies.
Mrauk-U, a former capital of Rakhine when it was the independent kingdom of Arakan, is in better times a tourist centre. More than 150 temples, pagodas and monasteries dot an idyllic landscape of lakes, rice paddy and wooded hills. Very few tourists now visit.
Trouble has also been reported from at least three other places in Rakhine state, including Kyauk Phu, where South Korean contractors are building a terminal for two oil-and-gas pipelines going to China.

Those of you have raised your hands, can now have a say about Myanmar.
What!!! no hands raised ???
With the west opening up its door to Myanmar, it was expected that Myanmar will mature and march forward taking all its races including the Rakhine in unity towards future full of promise. Myanmar is poised to emerge as the next fast growing tiger economy and chances are that it will have to import manpower to service those demands. Thus it is foolish to allow conflicts between communities in Myanmar to take root at this time. Myanmar must work towards conciliation and strengthening of relations between its diverse communities if it wants to become a rich member of Southeast and South Asia.
Wonder what is wrong the peace loving Buddhists? Where is the humanity taught by Buddha? You can never be at peace by hatred but only by love.
There are no wrong with the Buddhist. The wrong things is there are 3 Rohingyas raped a Buddhist woman.
Why would Buddhist communities in the South Asian region feel disgruntled at a Muslim presence? Well, it is certainly not down to racism. Historians can easily rebut that accusation by noting the presence of Turkish and Persian students at ancient Buddhist centres of learning in South and Southeast Asia. So for a while at least these religious communities could coexist side-by-side.
But then something happened. Muslims went on the rampage and, in AD 1193, the great university of Nalanda, in modern-day India, was sacked by a Muslim Turk as part of a policy of religious cleansing. Huge numbers of Buddhist monks were decapitated or immolated or otherwise put to a gruesome end. Similar scenes were repeated elsewhere and the discerning tourist can still walk among the ruins of Nalanda today (or otherwise take advantage of a Google image search).
If the global ummah really is concerned about the plight of their brethren in Myanmar, let them first put up the funds to build a university or two in the region. It wouldn't be hard, financially speaking. Most Near- and Middle-Eastern universities were built relatively recently in states that are flush with oil money. The will to re-build the old institutions also exists, and Nalanda University is rising once again, as of 2006. But it is financed by Singapore, China, India, and Japan, countries that have substantial Buddhist minorities.
Let Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia dip into their coffers to re-finance the old institutions before Muslim communities start pointing fingers. A substantial gesture of good faith, as opposed to absolute faith or blind faith or 'the one true faith,' would go a long way. It's called 'soft power' and it goes a lot further than finding ways to avoid taking responsibility for a legacy of provocation and wanton destruction.
It is re writing history.You are wrong when you say that in 1191 the Turkish army went on a rampage and destroyed Nalanda University.
Get your facts right instead of filling these columns with Islam bashing nonsense.
As I write this piece,the BBC is reporting a temporary ceasefire in Syria for just 4 days.This act of mercy by Assad's tyranny is to let the Syrians observe the Islamic Feast of Eid-Al-Adha.
There is no respite for the citizens of Burma who are kept in concentartion camp type environment.God alone knows if they are even allowed food etc by the Burmese army.
And the world has almost forgotten them.
Thanks to Economist for bringing this latest war crime to world's attention.
And where is the Noble Laureate Sui Ky sun? Not a word from her!!
I wonder why Moslem Tyrant Al Assad is killing the Moslems?
As you write this comment The very nice man Assad, agreed ton a ceasefire for Syria - and then did not keep his word.
And why should Buddhists care about Eid, when these people like rape?
What we should know :
The OIC was founded by Members of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
And they support all what is in favour of ISLAM,the ROHINGYA
MATTER as well.
After the events in Arakan State an International PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN was launched by ISLAMIC CIRCLES which also made use of Western Medias and other supporters (members of Aid Organizations, engaged individuals etc.) against the Myanmar Government and Buddhistic Arakanese/Burmese people.
During that Campaign manipulated videos,photographs, false statements etc. were used in order to discredit the Myanmar Government and Myanmar Buddhists.
What might ISLAMIC STRATEGISTS have in their mind ?
So, the buddhists want to 'ethnically cleanse' Rakhine. The government discriminates against the Rohingyas. And aung san suu kyi, the nobel prize winmner is...silent, because Miss suu Kyi supports the discrimination & ethnic cleansing. She is a rank hypocrite. Apparently she believes in 'Myanmar for Burmese Buddhists'.
You should ask Talibans in Kabul when they destroyed Bamian Budhdha idols there.What was THAT cleansing?You are paying the price for being intolerant of other faiths.
Yeah, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bengal, Central Asia, Xinjiang and probably areas in Russia were always Muslim nations. There have never being Buddhist there; no, never, don't ask about the pagodas.
So, for the author of this article, the Buddhist victims have names and they even come in numbers! The Muslims on the other hand, are mere casualties, unknown numbers; just supposedly children and over a thousand houses! Come on the Economist, the world is getting tired of this systematic vilification of Muslims; I know it's highly fashionable but that is really not the type of reporting I expect to get for my subscription!
Straightly speaking, what kind of Moslem vilification that you said? Bad or good, if it is a truth, then it is truth and not a vilification...
The problem is military dictatorship is not finished in Myanmar.War psychology mastermind are still behind the curtain. Military government created religious and ethical tensions for their political gains. Most of the Burmese people are uneducated. Their idea of democracy is majority have the right to eliminate minority. Burmese government maintain the long history of oppressing all people and using religion and race as political weapons. Humane world is demanding Democracy icon Aung San Su Kyi to stand up against prosecuted minority. But surprisingly she remained silence about it. Otherwise she may lose the votes from majority in upcoming election. Government denied UN assisted inquiry about the violence in May. They also denied accessing the region to foreign media and independent investigators.
I love how half these posts simply put one liners about how bad Muslims are. Congrats Economist, your readers have gone from some what intellectual free market thinkers to the tea party, the world is black and white types.
Well said.
My observation is where ever muslims dwell, there is problem with the other community dwelling side by side.
The community hell bent on wiping out the infedels are fighting amongst themselves in other parts of the planet.
The case is far from the ethnical and religious of fight to one another. It is the states provocating nations at the cost of the lives of people. In my country Turkey; once Muslims, Jews and Christians would live in peace till the imperialist European forces and their subdued servants planted bad seeds of outrage and seperation amongst them. As of today version of this conflict we are witnessing is ethnical one between Kurds and Turks. The International society has to take the compulsory steps to prevent the massacre spread to the other states of the Burma.
Bravo your hatred for Muslims is remarkable.Pray tell what do you suggest we should do with those bad One billion plus bad folks!
Your astute observation will lead to one very simple question:
As per your thesis where there are Muslims problems dwell!What is the solution? What to do with those one billion plus bad Muslims who dwell on this planet? Any idea!
Antagonism between Rohingya Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists in Myanmar must be contained at all cost, otherwise further flare ups will retard the nation's upcoming growth and lead to more unnecessary killings. Just look at the on-going conflict in South Thailand that has already taken away some four thousand lives since 2004. (mtd1943)
To me the Banner that says it all is from a Buddhist monk in Myanmar.
His banner simply said
'The world does not belong to the Muslims only'
A religion that incites intolerance by not accepting other religions.... That is Islam for you.
Intolerance does not deserve tolerance.
The intolerance per se does not deserve emulation. But Muslims per se ought not be treated like Armenians were treated in Turkey, far less like Jews were treated in Nazi Germany.
There's got to be a way to sever Islam from its extremist wing. The extremists will teach that Islam requires such extremism and they can cite verses. But the well known saying of Christians that the devil can cite scripture to make his case applies as well to Islamic scripture. Both texts require a good-faith, good-will reading if they are to yield humane and ethical guidance for the complicated mess that life so often is.
There are at least a billion Muslims who get this. There are at least a million who don't, and by definition they're the loud and violent ones. The billion need to take on the million and shut them up. Even if, in self defense, it takes meeting violence with violence.
Now, what of the Buddhists? This is no way for a Buddhist to act, to take up pitchfork and firebrand and machete and go at children from another village. That's not self defense. There's an historical man, a real human being whose teachings got Buddhism started. He was a warrior, but warring on children was not his style or his advice. And it's still a bad idea. Too much of that and the billion will conclude that the million have it right. And then we're in an incalculable mess.
Peace loving Rohingya Muslims were targeted by the Thein Sein Government controlled polices, and military helping Rakhine to be able to kill as many Rohingya as possible. Thousands have been killed by Rakhine mobs. Please help Arakan from killings.!!!
Hindus tolerated Muslims for ages and now you see the reality in India, the muslims are first class citizens, pampered by their Gov.
No tolerence should be shown to the intolerant !
Let the Burmese learn from Indian mistakes.
Guest - inimims.
You need to study more about Rohinja( illegal Bangali) who always lie an enlarge the news. You only read fake news and pictures . News about western Burma are only one site of Native Rakhine, but not the new what Rohinja are plotting secretely in their mosques and commanding from OIC. No Rakhine begins to kill and burn Rohinja's properties except collapse, but Rohinja always plotting what ever have to do not only Rakhine also whole Burma. Go to check eastern Burma Border there are alot of Rohinja are giving a lot of trouble, also Assan, Manipure, Phillippine, Western China,even in Saudi .Whom in Saudi , Saudi government Hallaed them.
Bharat or is it Mahabharat; your Islamphobia is showing through your dhotees!
Of all the people Hindus have the gaull to demonize Islam.How do you treat the so called Untouchables?
And what about your hero Narinder Modi et al who engineer periodic slaughter of Muslim Indians?
Who ever said that the world belongs to Muslims only?It is all the RSS propaganda you get from Indian books!

The blood work certainly suggests so, but simply put, we can make no guarantees for this.
The blood work certainly suggests so, but simply put, we can make no guarantees for this.
Well the blood work doesn't lie but from what i have read this product seems more capable to prevent estrogen related side effects while on a natty test cycle like Activate Xtreme. I do not believe it would be potent enough to work with injectables. Maybe i am wrong and someone can disprove me, but i do not think this would be enough. Probably need a SERM like nolva.
Erase is does-dependent and if you take 5 caps/day of that stuff you will have the estrogen levels of a Spartan (very low) so maybe a product like that that is inherently an anti-E and not an all-around supp like triazole would work also.
I heard Cahill on SHR talking about a guy using triazole during his test cycle. And something about blood work looking good. Is there a link to this?
Scroll to the bottom. The graph is made for genuine blood work. There is also a triazole thread where the scans were posted for each result. That thraed is here: What is Triazole?
