DescriptionAfter hard luck and heartbreak, Sunny finally finds a place to call home--in the middle of an Afghanistan war zone. There, the thirty-eight-year-old serves up her American hospitality to the expats who patronize her coffee shop, including a British journalist, a "danger pay" consultant, and a wealthy and well-connected woman. True to her name, Sunny also bonds with people whose language and landscape are unfamiliar to most Westerners, but whose hearts and souls are very much like our own: the maternal Halajan, who vividly recalls the days before the Taliban and now must hide a modern romance from her ultratraditional son; and Yazmina, a young Afghan villager with a secret that could put everyone's life in jeopardy. In this gorgeous first novel, "New York Times" bestselling author Deborah Rodriguez paints a stirring portrait of a faraway place where--even in the fog of political and social conflict--friendship, passion, and hope still exist.

Reviews for The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul (Originally Published as a Cup of Friendship)
I liked this book
Chick lit meets the Taliban in The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul (also published under the title A Cup of Friendship).
This unlikely pairing creates a warm-hearted read with a serious message about the treatment of women in modern day Afghanistan.
It tells the story of five women - two Americans, one British and two Afghans - and the friendship they forge in a little coffee shop in the centre of Kabul.
It's evident that American author Deborah Rodriguez loves Kabul, the city she called home for five years during the 2000s, and that she has a lot of respect and compassion for its people.
I like what she has done with The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.
She gives us an insight into the lure of a country like Afghanistan for foreigners, the harsh realities of life for Afghan women and the struggles of the older generation who can remember life before the Taliban.
She also gave me a greater appreciation for the people of Afghanistan and their country, culture and traditions.
She does so using a writing style that is very easy to read.
I didn't love this book, but I liked it a lot.
It's not as haunting as Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, but there are similarities between the two. Both authors draw attention to violence against women in Afghanistan, albeit using different genres.
If you're looking for a an easy and warm-hearted read that gives an insight into the struggles of women living in a country with a culture that is far different to ours, then The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul is worth a read.

What promises to be one of the biggest careers events in the area will take place in Doncaster at the Racecourse Conference Centre on Wednesday 19th March 2014.
Doncaster Skills Show Experience, in collaboration with Doncaster College and University Centre, Doncaster Council and supported by the European Social Fund and the National Careers service, is aimed at 14 to 24 year olds who are not sure of what direction to take or simply want to change direction. The idea of the event is to promote vocational careers through fun and exciting interactive activities and experiences.
Local colleges, universities, training providers and the National Careers Service will be on hand to help with their next step.
There will be Have a Go sessions where people can try their hand at new skills and activities, from engineering to floristry, decorating to make up.
Sarah Heslop, Marketing Co-ordinator at Doncaster College, and organiser of the event said,
'We are delighted to be involved with the Skills Show and this event will offer something for everyone and the Have a Go experiences will allow people to try their hand at a skill, trade or occupation from aircraft marshalling, bricklaying to engineering, it's a great opportunity to come along and have a go.
Visitors will also be able to find out about Apprenticeships, further and higher education, training and job opportunities in and around Doncaster.
During the day from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm we have invited all the Doncaster schools to attend, and during the evening the event will be open to the general public from 4.30 pm to 6.30pm'
Ross Maloney, Chief Executive of the Skills Show, said, 'The Skills Show Experience is being delivered throughout England and aims to inspire the next generation of skilled young people, to raise aspirations across a spectrum of opportunities in further education, skills and Apprenticeships, and is at the forefront of delivering a new model of experiential careers education through a wide range of local partners.'
'The Skills Show Experience provides unique local opportunities to inspire young people through hands on, practical Have a Go activities, the opportunity to engage with employers, colleges and learning providers, and access impartial careers advice to help them find out about the range of jobs and careers open to them.'
'Have a Go activities are the perfect way for young people and adults to try new skills and to find out what they are good at, and provide a means to inspire them to think differently about vocational education while gaining from the local knowledge and expertise of employers in their local area.'
For more information about the event please contact Doncaster College on 01302 553767or email email@example.com

Veteran pass rusher Aaron Wilson
Atlanta Falcons veteran defensive end Osi Umenyiora is adjusting to a reserve role after starting the first 13 games of the season.
Now, he contributes off the bench.
Umenyiora recently spoke with coach Mike Smith about his change of status, according to defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.
"As I'm sure Mike told you, he had a conversation with Mike and it went very well, was my understanding," Nolan said, per ESPN. "And Osi expressed the same thing, that it went real well."
Jonathan Massaquoi started in place of Umenyiora at right defensive end against the Washington Redskins.
Umenyiora had a sack and forced fumble against Washington. He leads the Falcons with 7.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.
"I thought he did an outstanding job in the game when he did go in," Nolan said of Umenyiora. "He was fresher. He was better prepared for the third down because of that. You know, when you play every down, it can wear on you.
"Whatever's best for them to perform at the highest level is what you want to do, and I think that did help him perform at a high level. I mean, he got the only sack we had in the game. It was a sack-fumble as a matter of fact, and we a got a touchdown out of it … the offense did."

Paint and glitter, then string together real eggs to create this beautiful and delicate Easter garland. It's sure to add a colorful, springy touch when hung above a vignette or on a banister, mantel or Easter tree.Marian Parsons, Miss Mustard Seed
Use an upholstery needle to make a small hole in the bottom of an egg (Image 1). Insert a metal skewer into the egg and stir to break yolk (Image 2). Puncture a hole in the top of the egg with an egg-blowing bulb (Image 3) and gently squeeze to force the yolk and egg white into a small bowl (Image 4). Rinse the eggs with water and allow to dry completely. Tip: Make the exit hole on the bottom of the egg larger, if necessary.
Insert a bamboo skewer into the bottom hole of each egg. Once the eggs are skewered, use a one-inch artist brush to apply one coat of acrylic paint to 36 eggs (Image 1), and place the skewered eggs in a tall drinking glass to dry (Image 2).
Working one egg at a time, coat entire surface of unpainted eggs with all-purpose white glue (Image 1). Hold egg over bowl of glitter and spoon glitter over wet glue, turning the egg on the bamboo skewer to coat all sides evenly (Image 2). Place glittered egg in a tall drinking glass and allow glue to dry. Note: Add a little sparkle to painted eggs by using a 1.0 liner brush to paint polka dots, swirls or other designs with glue onto painted eggs, then sprinkle the still-wet glue with glitter.
Once eggs are completely dry, insert thin hemp twine into the top hole of the egg. Use an upholstery needle to pull twine through the opposite hole. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs, alternating colors and finishes.
To add length and texture to the garland, make "spacers" out of white tissue paper. Stack together six pieces of tissue paper. Cut a 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square out of the tissue (Image 1). Fold the square in accordion folds and trim each end into a point (Image 2). Use an upholstery needle to thread tissue onto the twine (Image 3). Gently pull the layers of tissue apart to make a miniature tissue blossom (Image 4). Place one after every third egg or at desired intervals (Image 5). Finish threading eggs and tissue spacers until garland is complete. Trim the hemp twine and create loops on each end for hanging. Tip: If garland is too long, make two smaller garlands or nestle extra eggs in a bowl lined with moss.

What I posted (long after the thread had pretty much run its course on gambling) was 'The descriptions of compulsive gamblers given here remind me very much of alcoholics I've worked with.'
A general comment made about no-one in particular. You, however, responded with 'gambling is nothing like alcohol abuse' and sought to justify that unjustifiable statement via your personal experience.
You also decided that when I said 'alcoholics I've worked with' I was setting myself up as an expert on alcoholism. That then gave you the chance to knock me off the perch you created.
And now we have 'So I wasn't far off in my description of my experience in watching my brother in law and his family and the problems I saw in that family.'
Nobody, nobody has suggested that your experience wasn't your experience. What it is not, though, is the universal experience. That's the point you can't seem to grasp.

f.m so from your experience, 2 *very * well respected groups who deal with alcoholism have got it wrong.
*I will though say you are wrong *when you say 'Any family member can see that some one has an alcohol problem'. See this book description about high functioning alcoholics.
It's funny that only you could have the experience and knowledge to be able to say they have it wrong.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — A former Democratic campaign treasurer was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in federal prison for defrauding high-profile clients, including U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, of at least $7 million.
Kinde Durkee, 59, was sentenced to a total of 97 months behind bars in U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to five counts of mail fraud in March, when U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner called her "the Bernie Madoff of campaign treasurers," referring to the infamous New York financial manager.
Durkee read a brief statement and apologized in court to "those who trusted me and I betrayed."
"I take full and complete responsibility for what I've done," she said.
Feinstein said she lost about $4.5 million in the scam involving Durkee that also targeted several state lawmakers and nonprofit political groups.
Authorities said Durkee used the money to pay mortgages for her home and business, care for her parents in a home for seniors and for incidental expenses such as trips to Costco.
Wagner has said he believes the actual fraud was closer to $10 million.
During sentencing, Judge Kimberly Mueller emphasized the egregious nature of Durkee's crimes. The judge asked that she be ordered to serve in a prison that has mental health services.
"What she did had an impact on the political and electoral processes on which our democracy is based," Mueller said.
Durkee also was ordered to pay $10.5 million in restitution.
Daniel Nixon, an attorney for Durkee, said in a pre-sentencing report that she was incapable of managing her business partly because of her fear of conflict, which led her to let candidates' bills go unpaid and refuse to fire incompetent staff.
The crimes could have carried a maximum penalty of 100 years, but Durkee's plea deal called for a possible sentence of 11 to 14 years. She has been free on $200,000 bond.
Nixon and prosecutors said Durkee ran the equivalent of a shell game through the Burbank office of Durkee & Associates.
"Although the number of clients grew, so did the number of non-paying clients, and Ms. Durkee found that she had trouble confronting her clients to collect payment," according to her attorney's report.
The roster of victims also included Reps. Loretta Sanchez and Susan Davis; state Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim; Assemblyman Jose Solorio, D-Santa Ana; and political nonprofit groups such as the Los Angeles County Democratic Party.
The pre-sentencing report also said she has always been known as a kind and generous woman, and that she did not lead a lavish lifestyle. Durkee's husband of nearly 30 years, John Forgy, has been unemployed for more than 15 years, "which increased the financial pressure on Ms. Durkee to support them," the report said.
The scheme was uncovered by investigators with the California Fair Political Practices Commission, who noticed discrepancies in the filings for Solorio and asked the FBI for assistance. The state lawmaker lost at least $677,000 to Durkee, according to the criminal complaint.
Durkee and her husband have agreed to forfeit the Burbank office from which she operated and to hand over her 401(k) retirement account, estimated to be valued at about $90,000.

Granted the Nike uni's are pig ugly, but seein our future QB ready to roll gets me pumped the fvck up for this season.
Fully on the Geno bandwagon.
I'm not in college, and I never claimed to be. Point? If you even have one, lol. This sounds more like someone trying to puff out their chest in order to try to win an e-argument, rofl.
Haven't you said in the past you're in college? What is your profession? Or trade? What do you do for a living? Are you good at anything?
With all respect, I have seen what the Sack Exchange can do for a team...teams suddenly fearful of Shea stadium (all of a sudden ;)) howling winds and so forth. "Jet weather" as a factor giving serious home field advantage.
What I am saying: I think the serious investment in the D should pay off in short field advantages for the offense. And, who knows (yet) what we have here? New OC yada yada
They changed the shade of green and actually eliminated the silver except for the wings on the helmet:
As for the Rams, Imma have to disagree. I'm partial to their LA look, which is funny because they actually won their lone SB in those unis. I believe they gold they changed to is supposed to represent the wheat fields of the midwest, but I could be wrong. Regardless:
http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/whew.png & http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/obama.png
Vinny Testaverde's Niece is a prime example why football should be left to guys. We all dont want to hear about your ins and outs of the fashion industry. its a football board. this is for talking about sports, next thing is shes going to start lecturing on eye black and makeup.
http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/ooh.png (But I also agree)
I think too many fans are down on the receivers. Put a great qb back there and watch their numbers grow!
I also like the old LA Rams uniforms.
Gotta admit though, these throwbacks would be pretty sweet. Would love to see them used today.
VTN, what does being an architect have to do with designing uniforms? I am not making the correlation between structures and clothing. Serious question. I am not trying to be a smart ass. :cool:
BTW, I agree about our uniforms. I would like to see solid pants w/o the stripes or just a pinstripe.
^^ Love those uniforms.

|Homeowners Are Encouraged To Prepare Their Trees for Winter Season In Case Rain Is Scarce
SACRAMENTO –California's drought is having a visible impact on lawns throughout the state as homeowners reduce their outdoor watering. Lawns can be brought back to life relatively quickly, but once a tree dies, its loss is irreversible. As the amount of sunlight falling on trees is reduced with the change in the seasons, trees go into dormancy and require less water than during the hot summer months. But in exceptionally dry conditions, a tree may not have enough stored moisture to survive until drought conditions improve. Tree advocates and water officials today urged homeowners to educate themselves on effective tree care to ensure their trees' survival in the months ahead – especially if California's extended dry period continues this winter.

Chaotic "spin vortices" could lead to new computer memoriesJanuary 3, 2013 7:56 am | News | Comments
In science, just like in life, sometimes creating the most effective organization depends on being able to handle just a bit of chaos first. Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have used alternating magnetic fields to control the behavior of "spin vortices" trapped in small dots made from iron and nickel that can be magnetized in two separate ways.

Bubble study could improve industrial splash controlDecember 13, 2012 9:24 am | News | Comments
For the first time, scientists witnessed the details of the full, ultrafast process of liquid droplets evolving into a bubble when they strike a surface.

High-pressure science gets super-sizedOctober 24, 2012 7:47 am | News | Comments
The study of materials at extreme conditions took a giant leap forward with the discovery of a way to generate super high pressures without using shock waves whose accompanying heat turns solids to liquid. This discovery will allow scientists, for the first time, to reach static pressure levels exceeding four million atmospheres, a high-pressure environment where new compounds could be formed, materials change their chemical and physical properties, and metals become insulators.

Recently several teams of accounting students competed in a case competition with PwC. Martha Eining is the Director of the School of Accounting so she might be biased but she writes with glowing enthusiasm about her students:
Breaking Ground on Lassonde Studios Building
The David Eccles School of Business and the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute are one step closer to becoming an international destination for student entrepreneurs, innovators and "makers" today as it breaks ground on the Lassonde Studios. The five-floor, 148,000-square-foot building will merge more than 400 student residences with a 20,000-square-foot "garage" open for any student to attend events, build prototypes, launch companies and more.
TV Executive Named Spencer Fox Eccles Convocation Honoree and Speaker
The David Eccles School of Business announced today Bill Campbell, a successful television executive and producer, is the honoree and keynote speaker for the 2014 Spencer Fox Eccles Convocation
Martha Eining receives AAA 2014 Outstanding Service Award
The American Accounting Association (AAA) recently announced that our very own Dr. Martha Eining was one of two recipients of the 2014 AAA Outstanding Service Award along with Gail Hoover King. This AAA award, which may be awarded at any time by the Board of Directors, was presented in the form of unique glass art pieces to the pair on Tuesday, August 5th at the 2014 AAA Annual Meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia.
MAcc Program Sheds New Light of Happiness at Homeless Shelter
In a labor of love, The Road Home's winter overflow shelter got an extreme makeover, complete with lilac-painted walls and lots of helping hands.
As part of an annual service project, about 130 students and faculty from the University of Utah's Master of Accounting program showed up early Wednesday to restore the shelter in preparation for winter.
The home has accommodated up to 300 people in the past, offering families a place to sleep, eat and bathe.
Dr. Christine Botosan Elected President of American Accounting Association
The David Eccles School of Business today announced Dr. Christine Botosan, professor of accounting and associate dean of graduate affairs, has been elected president of the American Accounting Association's board of directors. Botosan will serve as president for the AAA's 2014–2015 year, beginning her term at the distinguished group's annual conference this year taking place Aug. 2–6 in Atlanta. She recently completed her term as president-elect for the 2013–2014 year.
Grant Thornton welcome students to Paris, Bay Area
Brianna Koucos, a senior career counselor with the Undergraduate Career Management Center, traveled recently with two groups of students to visit Grant Thornton offices in Paris and the Bay Area. Here, she writes a bit about the trips:
The David Eccles School of Business students made two trips to Grant Thornton this spring.
The first was in Paris, France, where the Business Scholars met with partner and alumnae Johanna Nielsen ('01).
Marci Butterfield named BAP Outstanding Advisor
Marci Butterfield, an associate professor at the David Eccles School of Business's School of Accounting, was recently named an Outstanding Faculty Advisor award winner by Beta Alpha Psi, the national accounting honor society for students and professionals that boasts more than 300 chapters on college campuses.
Butterfield is one of only four winners of the honor from across the country, and will collect a $5,000 prize and plaque from McGladrey LLP at BAP's annual conference later this year in Atlanta.

EnigmaI recall that, as I lay relaxed and sleepy on top my comforter, time seemed to pass like a blink of the eye. When I finally gave a good look at my surroundings, I discovered that the once blue skies were now very dark. My laptop lay closed on my study desk, a fan whirring slowly to and fro on the window ledge behind.My fingers combed through my mat of unruly brown hair as I yawned.Just then, I noticed something odd out of the corner of my right eye. It was odd because it was something I hadn't seen for months now. There was a soft light shining on in my closet, silhouetting the door from behind.A warm, natural light."It's about time!" I exclaimed, buzzing with excitement.I'd begun to lose hope of ever doing this again, but now those fears were gone. I quickly saddled up my trusty bag with essentials: my camera, some extra baterries, a flashlight, an apple, my thermos (it was tricky filling it without waking my parents).I added a sweater to the arrangement, just in case.Taking a
A Close EncounterNo! This cannot be happening, its impossible!I had linked to an Age in the midst of a violent eruption. The skies were ashen and black as soot, thunder rolled high above, and the air all around was choked with dust and falling rocks. The ground was shaking, and I lost my footing.Crack! My head swam and my vision blurred, a tinny ringing blazing in my ears. I fought to keep conscious; I had to link out before it was too late!Struggling, I reached into my satchel and produced the thin book. Opening the front cover, I tenaciously placed my fingertips to the glowing panel and with a rush of air, I was gone.By the Maker, youre filthy! Atrus
whats wrong? said Catherine, puzzled. I couldnt hold myself up any longer, and felt myself loosing consciousness. The last I heard was a shrill scream, and arms shelter my head as I fell down into blackness. * * * * *Is he alright?Yes
DreamsThis feeling was unlike any other. The adrenaline; the sheer joy of finally pulling it off; it felt right, somehow.It came naturally, like an instinct, once it started. As if all your life, youd known how. Like your dreams were preparing you - teaching you.Air rushes past, no ground below your feet; strings of lights lay far below you like glittering golden jewels - or like fiery ants. Thats all that could be seen of man and nature and the Earth.You were flying.And nothing could ever bring you back down from this real-life Cloud Nine that you found yourself living on. It was better than a dream!Your every fibre of being rattled with energy, your lungs begging to let out that thunderous and joyous cry you desperately wanted to cry.So with a smile, as you performed a delightful three-sixty spiral five miles from the ground, you screamed out loud at the top of your lungs. This was it!And life would never be the same again; it would be better than ever.Your drea

Kobe Bryant hasn't got time for the finger pain
Sep 24, 2010, 11:10 AM EDT
It's pretty easy to predict what Kobe Bryant is going to say about his index finger Saturday at media day:
"It's fine, it doesn't affect what I do." Ask a second question and he'll laugh and say he answered that. A third and he glares at the reporter.
But the finger is an issue — Kobe did not have surgery on it this summer as some expected. Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register explains why.
Despite some speculation that he'd have surgery to fix the right index finger that he called a "constant battle" for him last season, that didn't happen. That's because surgery wouldn't really fix an arthritic finger that has so little cartilage with which to work, something Bryant found out even before July rolled around…
An array of finger exercises is making the best of a tough situation, improving Bryant's range of motion and strength. The finger feels better than it did in June – and perhaps Bryant's daughters have come to be connoisseurs of finger puppetry – but the finger also hasn't had any 250-pound, hard-fouling dudes hacking it to make it swell.
The reality is that Bryant isn't necessarily much better off than before, because this is a chronic situation. Arthritis is the wearing down of the cartilage in the joints, and the middle knuckle on Bryant's index finger is flat-out worn down.
Kobe is going to be Kobe about this. No complaints. No excuses. He is Monty Python's Black Knight, "Tis just a flesh wound."
Kobe's shooting numbers dipped last year in the regular season — his three point shooting fell from 35.1 percent two seasons ago to 32.9 last season. Although part of that was the arthritic knee that bothered him as well.
When it mattered, in the playoffs, Kobe was Kobe again. He scored 30 or more points in 11 of the last 12 Lakers playoff games, he shot 37.4 percent from three and his shooting numbers were up across the board. He was the finals MVP for a reason.
He's still Kobe. He's still the guy you want with the game on the line. His finger is what it is, and surgery wouldn't have changed that. But nothing is changing Kobe.
