Rated 4 out of 5 by suha2013 attention to events. Had a great three day stay there. staff were friendly but need to pay attention to outdoor events, in particular, as the Eagle flying event was too short and sundowner during camel ride was rushed... Restaurant staff were superb.... Going to the spa is a must here... August 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dieter Amazing!! The place where everyone wants to come back.... Amazing! The only appropriate word to describe the Al Maha experience! Fantastic location, spectacular suite, extremely helpful and polite staff, amazing trips and activities, and an overall feeling of privacy and luxury! The place where everyone wants to come back....

Rated 5 out of 5 by lpshanghai Oasis This hotel was on all points above my expectations. Geat location, privacy of the room, quality of the food, kindness of the staff.... One very small possible improvement : the coktails are not great...not at the level of the rest of the food / beverages July 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chechu Relax in the nature We stayed as a couple one month ago. As a professional from the hotel industry I enjoyed the stay and noticed as well certain details. lThe resort is beautiful, the suites are amazing, top class amenities, the private pool is definetely a gem! The Spa was very nice, the therapist was professional and very kind (hot stone massage for lady, I forgot her name unfortunately). We ordered room service and the quality of the food was 5 *, only to mention that the server forgot the bread and some other items so he had to come back. For breakfast, drinks order took quite long time (+ 15 minutes) considering we were almost the last table. And then the first evening for the turn down service, they came to the suite just 5 minutes before we were picked up for our Spa Treatments, which I found not very organized. With limited quantity of suites, they could have checked activities before going, in order to give a more personalized service. Overall, the place is fantastic, ideal to relax and disconnect from crazy Dubai. Looking foward to come back! May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Foodie13 Luxury in the middle of the dessert What a memorable experience. It was amazing to have all the modern luxuries in the middle of the dessert. Outstanding food, friendly service and awesome dessert activities. Fully enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends and family. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ss526 Amazing location The best part of our stay in Dubai was at Al Maha. We stayed at the wonderful Presidential Suite with a spectacular desert view. Lovely activities offered but we loved the suite so much we spent most of the time in the suite. January 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shootingstar Amazing hotel, pity that noise ruins the desert night The resort is fantastic: beautiful scenery, amazing food, kind and zealous staff. It's a shame that the noise of an engine (the water pump, maybe or some AC something?) was so strong outside the suite that we could not dine there. October 20, 2013

Ostentatious breeches, gods' braggadocio, and ars poetica
By Anatoly Liberman
As promised, I am returning to the English verb brag and the Old Scandinavian god Bragi (see the previous post). If compared with boast, brag would seem to be more suggestive of bluster and hot air. Yet both may have been specimens of Middle English slang or expressive formations.

Play 'The Answer-Killing Question Buys A Crisis,' St. Vincent, and Allan Fish Bonanza Encore series on Monday Morning Diary (October 27)
Posted in Uncategorized on October 27, 2014 | 24 Comments »
by Sam Juliano
Barry Germansky's Off-Off- Broadway play The Answer-Killing Question Buys A Crisis, which this weekend completed its one-month engagement at the Crown Theater in Manhattan, has been billed as a satire on the the suppression of individuality in American classrooms. Without any trace of humor -though one scene where the two male leads are seemingly instructed to engage in sex is obviously barbed- this austere and minimalist production can aptly be framed as an allegory on how academic convention (Germansky describes it in an interview as education being far more focused on systematizing knowledge than allowing for freedom of expression) leaves little room for the kind of inspiration inherent in an individual-based educational system. There is sparse effort to examine what might happen to those who buck the system, but it is clear enough from the implied brainwashing of one of the two students who initially collaborate in resisting, that the system aims to break down and snuff out learning that doesn't conform to the general order. A second-season episode of television's The Twilight Zone, "The Obsolete Man" offered up a scenario where the protester gave up his life to expose the system and the purveyor of its totalitarianism by forcing him to share the same fate. Germansky's dystopian premise does evoke Vonnegut and Orwell, but the idea of one bucking the system by not succumbing to the fate of his colleague bears an ideological kinship to Jack Finney's The Body Snatcher, where all minds were absorbed into communal thinking. There is a sense of immediacy to the writing- this is not tame criticism but an urgent plea for extensive reform. Andrew -the anarchic rebel writing his book- is eventually betrayed by his pal Conrad, but not before the dialogue's trenchant focus is fully exposed. As Andrew, Rafa Perez gives a powerful and affecting performance as the unyielding idealist, while Damon Trammell as his brainwashed classmate Conrad Warr delivers an intense turn as the student who is eventually worn down by rigid scholastic orthodoxy. Matt Tracy as the Professor comes off as dehumanized, while Jillian Walters as the Kindergarten teacher who delivers the bookend monologues is skittish and seemingly resigned. The Answer-Killing Question Buys a Crisis needs few props besides a few chairs, and director Cihangir Duman is wise not to let the basic staging interfere with Germansky's sharp, accusatory writing. The play was produced by the esteemed movie scribe and President of the San Francisco Film Critics Circle, Tim Sika. This new visionary work deserves an extension in the Big Apple or a second run in another city. Note: Broadway Bob, Lucille and I attended the Friday night performance, which commenced at 8:00, running 100 minutes with no break. The Crown Theater is on the second floor of the Producer's Club on W. 44th. (more…)

Allan Fish Bonanza, Melanie's Baltimore Video and Birdman on Monday Morning Diary (October 20)
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20, 2014 | 22 Comments »
by Sam Juliano
The extraordinary Allan Fish Bonanza Encore Series will continue unabated till Tuesday, October 28th, but in reality it will not end there by a long shot. The site will continue to exhibit Allan's priceless work every Saturday and every Sunday until the middle of May, at which point it is anticipated Allan's new reviews will be ready to post. I also reserve the option to post one of Allan's reviews during the week should the new material lag off. In any case no matter how you read it, Allan will be here with us, even as he continues to make great progress from his recent operation in a British hospital. Thanks again to all who have stepped up to the plate with their selections, as well as with insightful comments and page views to keep the celebration going full throttle. Anyone wishing to make further suggestions, by all means add them to any current site thread, and they will be honored.
The supremely talented young lady Melanie (Jane) Juliano has again completed a stupendous short video, this time on the recent trip to Baltimore. Though it is up on FB getting some much appreciated raves this eight-minute summation of the trip will also be posted as the very first comment under this thread. As always's Melanie's editing and musical selections are fantastic.
With a school presentation (for Melanie) occupying a good part of the weekend, Lucille and I visited some older family members and the young son of a very close friend who went through an operation to solve a collapsed lung. We were running around all week, and only got to see a single film on Saturday night. But what a film it was. I'll play conservative right now and go with a 4.5 of 5.0 rating, but this could still go to 5.0 after I take in a second viewing. (more…)
Allan Fish Bonanza Encore Series, Saturday Trip to Baltimore and Skeleton Twins on Tuesday Morning Diary (October 14)

The Allan Fish Bonanza Encore Series is moving ahead magnificently, and will continue until October 28th. I have decided to add a third full week in view of the series' success, and simply because when Allan is around even if only in spirit, Wonders in the Dark is just such an incomparably exciting place. Furthermore, even when we do reach the 28th, the series will not end, but will continue every weekend with postings on both Saturday and Sunday! And this schedule will be rigidly maintained until May of 2015, at which time it is anticipated that Allan will be back in print with new stuff. In any case we would like to thank all the readers and regulars who answered the call of duty by making some fantastic selections in the comment section of the announcement post, with a few others reaching me by e mail. Deepest thanks too are extended to those who have contributed some wonderfully inspiring comments under the encore postings of some of the best film reviews ever written by anyone. It has been a great ride and frankly the fun has only just begun.
Lucille, the kids, Broadway Bob and I took a day-trip down to Baltimore on Saturday, and managed an incredible number of stops until we departed home at around 8:30 P.M. Arriving at around 11:00 A.M., we visited Divine's (Glenn Harris Milstead) grave at Prospect Hill Cemetery in bordering Towson about five miles out of downtown Baltimore. We then toured the small cemetery alongside Westminster Church, where Edgar Allan Poe is laid to rest along with his beloved young bride and family members. We visited the Poe House, a short distance away in a run-down area of town, where the literary icon lived in his late 20's. We then caught the pulse of the city, encircling Camden Yards, where thousands of Orioles fans descended on the popular ballpark for the 4:00 P.M. playoff game with the Kansas City Royals. (The Orioles lost that game to go down 0-2 in the best-of-seven-series for the American League pennant). One ticketless fan told me he'd pay a scalper's price of $500 for a ticket, but of course we had none to offer. It was quite an exciting place to be with the pennant fever in the air. We then visited St. Jude's Shrine, the mid-week home of our own Our Lady of Grave Pastor, the Rev. Peter Sticco. We made a stop at The Senator movie palace, where John Waters movie all had their premieres and much enjoyed all the fantastic sidewalk engravings for many films that opened there dating back decades. We also eyed the storefront that was once the "Hefty Hideaway" in Hairspray, and finally Fells Point along the harbor, where numerous quaint shops were toured, including the storefront once owned and operated by beloved Waters regular Edith Massey. The kids absolutely loved the city and are hot to trot for a return visit. We dined at an Old Country Buffet in a Baltimore suburb, and then headed back home. We covered a remarkable amount of ground for the relatively short period we were there. (more…)
Allan Fish Bonanza: Through the Olive Trees (1994)
Posted in Uncategorized on October 13, 2014 | 1 Comment »
Note: This review of Abbas Kiarostami's 'Through the Olive Trees,' is the ninth posted in the Allan Fish Bonanza Encore series. It was chosen by Film Noir writer extraordinaire Tony d'Ambra, who confided that Allan himself always favored this piece as one of his own best.

Mohamad Ali Keshavarz (the director), Farhad Kheradmand (Farhad), Zarifeh Shiva (Miss Shiva), Hossein Rezai (Hossein), Tahereh Ladanian (Tahereh),
It's difficult to say where the story begins, or indeed when. 1987 seems a good place to start, with the release of Where is the Friend's House? Kiarostami's film was simplicity itself, following one little boy's search for another boy in his class because he's accidentally picked up the other boy's notebook and, if he doesn't return it, said other boy could be expelled from school. The location of the tale is Koker, northern Iran, is not especially important at this time. There was an old lady who swallowed a fly…
Koker would become known for other reasons soon enough, as the whole area was effectively flattened by a terrible earthquake in 1990. Around 50,000 people lost their lives, still more lost their homes. Kiarostami, concerned about the people who had welcomed him to make the film a few years previously, decided to make a film about it. And Life Goes On… would be about a fictional film director, essentially himself by proxy, travelling with his little boy, back to the region to try and find trace of survivors from the earlier film and see how they are coping with their lives after such a calamity. He has with him a poster of the earlier film, with the little boy from the film, Ahmed, on it. He asks various people along the way if anyone knows the boy. One man says he does, but also says he doesn't know if the boy or his family have survived. The director goes on and his journey becomes less about the boy and more about seeing people going about their daily shattered lives, including a newly married man and woman. We don't find out what happened to the boy. There was an old lady who swallowed a spider… (more…)

Like you say, whats done is done. Make the most of what you've got.
download some targets from the internet and print out on your printer
and then do some serious shooting under the most ideal conditions
to find out how good you can shoot with different kinds of ammo.
The reason is when hunting you will know if you should take a shot
or not due to your confidence in the accuracy.
Just to give you an idea, with my 10/22 using the two highest
performance hunting choices, the Stinger and the Aguilla Max
ammo, I get about 8 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards using
a bench rest and an expensive 9X power scope.
That is not good enough to shoot at a squirrel or a rabbit
even though there is plenty enough power at 100 yards.
In my gun the 40gr CCI Velocitor shot almost as accurate
as match ammo and that is what I hunted with.
If you aren't satisfied with the accuracy, what have you done with the bedding? Free float? Consider the action is in the stock with one screw and now recoil lug, AFAIK. And in the older versions, no metal to prevent wood stock compression. And in many new stocks, pretty soft plastic. How about the trigger? Did you remove the barrel band? I have to ask these things, since I just picked up a 10/22 compact and plan on it turning into a tack driver...
Considering all the modifications that have been done to 10/22s
as likely being the reason for the cult like status, I have to think
that of all the conversions, none have been to a tack driver.
Although, I do remember a few years back seeing a heavy barrel
target type 10/22 that I would have wanted to try out for
better accuracy. From what I can tell the basic weak link
is the connection of the receiver to the barrel and no matter
what else you do, if that connection is not super rigid,
your main sighting device ( scope) will wiggle around in
reference to the barrel.
But HEY, Ruger supposedly did wonders with their mini-14 rifle
on a new modern assembly line..... so maybe they have
improved the 10/22 as they have certainly built and sold
enough of them to wear out an assembly line.
As with common wisdom, semi autos can never be as accurate
as bolt actions although we are reading lately that there
are some mighty accurate semi autos being produced.
Happy to be here and just done with my first, terrible, head-big (and I have a really big head) 50 foot hour at the range. I am happy to be here. I feel like I should really love the rifle but so far, I love my new MkIII 678 Target much more. That said, I am committed to learning to make the 10/22 my favorite thing ever. If everyone loves it so, I will, too.

Anyone have any theories as to why vandal savage would get Mongul involved?? That's clearly going to mess up and did mess up the reaches plan. Any ideas as to how the series will end??

He explained in the first season that he wanted humanity to evolve and earth to take its place in the center of the universe, probably meaning he wants the earth to be the most powerful world in the universe. He probably goaded Mongul into going to earth because he knew it would threaten the Reachs plans as they have a pretty tight grip in their invasion. The Light is obviously plotting against the Reach as they are likely plotting against them.
While I don't think the Light will be defeated in the end of the season I think the Reach will be defeated and people seem to think the forces of Apokolips will arrive.

The Light are using The Reach to activate metagenes all over the globe, and once this objective is complete, will betray them and move on with Savage's plan to "evolve humanity." Goading Mongul into the fray was a way to weaken The Reach's power.
Its really not...
The Light was awesome in season 1. It's just confusing this season.

Martine was a great tour guide. I believe he pointed out places along the way that he didn't need to tell us about but he did because he enjoyed being a guide. We loved all three of the towns including Fatima. Being Catholic we wanted to visit Fatima. It's very nice but definitely just for a quick stop. Luckily, we will able to sit through most of a mass that was going on in the outside chapel. Loved Obidos but unfortunately it started raining when we got there. A very quaint town! We bought the ginginha there which is like a cherry cello that is supposedly one of the best in all of Portugal. Just arrived home and can't wait to open it!
Thanks again Martine!
Doing what: Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon
There were six of us on this tour which made it very nice. Fatima was overwhelming. When we arrived mid-morning, 65,000+ people were there, an outdoor Mass was being celebrated, choir was singing, and more and more people kept arriving. It was a very moving experience. Nazare was good for lunch and we drove to the coast to the spot where surfers surf 40-foot waves at certain time of the year.

The tour was fantastic. The driver/travel guide, Andres, was very efficient and has a good personality. We enjoyed Fatima, Nazare, Bathalha and Ovidos. It was full but the tempo was relaxed and unhurried. It is weel worth the fee!

We loved our Fatima tour. We found the driver and tour guide both to be friendly and well-informed. All of our stops were places we had wanted to visit. Our guide was one of the best we've ever had. Thank You!

Perfect, nothing to say. Starting with the in-time pick-up from the hotel. Very modern busses (clean, new) and of course the routing to Fatima. I personally did the circuit 8 times before, my wife once before. We had the chance to have as a guide the best in Lisbon (see picture) as well as a very good driver Fernando. Very lucky with the catastrophic weather of Lisbon (monday 13 October the city under water) but all 4 days in sunshine. Good fish in Nazaré but ...strange white and red wine. We fully recommend this trip. We hope to be part of it when we come back to Lisbon: in two years perhaps.

The guide was good , not exceptional . The itinerary was very good although fatima seems awfully commercial , that's not the fault of the tour however . The guides suggestion for lunch was very good . It fulfilled everything we wanted and was quite a busy day

Very well organized and very enjoyable. Driver was knowledgable
and attentive. Our companions were fun and great company.
We would have liked more time in Fatima.

The tour went well. Our driver Marinho is very professional. Though the 1 hour allotment for Fatima is too short for such a historical site.

We did not appreciate stopping at what appeared to be a company owned store in Fatima before reaching our destination. Several on tour took way more for our allotted time which impacted our time at the main attraction. Plus this was not disclosed in tour information ahead of time. This negatively impacted our visit to this holy site. Guide was great, while having to speak in 4 languages for the various nationalities on tour. On returning to Lisbon, we were the last ones to be dropped off at our hotel, which did provide an additional tour of Lisbon, if we looked on the bright side, and bus driver was amazing how he maneuvered on the streets of Lisbon.

Very long bus ride to Fatima and not much to see, very disappointed! The tour was bi-lingual instead of English speaking only so find it quite boring as the tour guide needs to explain the history 2 times for the same view.
Doing what: Fátima and the Sanctuary Basilica Half Day Tour from Lisbon
Highly recommended, it was a great tour and our tourguide Andre was very pleasant and very knowledgeable, could have used a little more time in Fatima. Overall it was wonderful and the food at a local restaurant that our tour guide Andre recommended was great,
Doing what: Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon
This tour is highly recommended!!! Our tour guide, Ana, is very informative and accommodating. She spoke four languages during the tour - Portuguese, English, Spanish, and German.
These are the good points of the tour:
1. Pickup - was very convenient. Pickup was on time from the Lisbon hotel.
2. Content - we went to Obidos, Alcobaca, Nazare, Batalha, and Fatima. It was a lot of places in one day. There were also a lot of stories along the way to give context to the site, history, and the characters.
3. Fatima Factory - where religious articles can be bought is a very good stop.
4. Language - the English tour guide was very good.
5. Lunch - was served in the seaside village of Nazare - seafood was served.
6. Drop Off - drop off was also convenient and directly to the hotel.
7. Value for Money - with the sites, content, and experience you are getting with this tour - this is the best value for money you can get. Partner this up with a Lisbon City Tour, you definitely will have a very memorable Portugal experience.
Additional points to note:
1. If you are after one place and would like to spend more time in that place, like Fatima, it will be better if you took a different tour that will take you there.
2. The Fatima factory of religious articles duration is pretty brief. Again maybe because the tour packs a lot of content.
3. Not enough time to absorb and appreciate the sites - again because the tour packs a lot in a days trip.
Doing what: Óbidos, Nazaré, Fátima and Batalha Day Trip
This tour is highly recommended! There are several good points I can enumerate:
1. Very convenient – pickup was prompt and directly from the hotel. Drop off was directly to the hotel as well.
2. Content – we went to Obidos, Alcobaca, Nazare, Batalha, and Fatima. This is a lot of places in one day. Our tour guide, Ana, gives remarkable information on the sites while on the bus and on the sites themselves.
3. Value for Money – for the number of sites, experience, and Portuguese history, this brings the most bang for your buck!
4. Free Time on the sites – there are some free time allocated for some sites.
A noteworthy point, if you are after visiting a specific site in detail, like in Fatima, this might not be the best tour for you. Because there is quite little time left for free roaming and exploring, you will quickly run out of time if you want to drill down into more details, or attend service, on the programmed sites.
Doing what: Fátima and the Sanctuary Basilica Half Day Tour from Lisbon
This was our 3rd tour with the Inside Lisbon team and although our guide Andre was not at his best (he was a bit tired and was not as good as Catarina and Luigi/Luis), my mom and I really liked the places that were part of this tour. Fatima and Batalha Monastery were huge - in terms of space and size. The seafood meal in Nazare was awesome - with a very nice view of the cliff and the ocean. I liked Obidos the most - it's a small village...so quaint!
Doing what: Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon
Small group of 8, our driver and tour guide Andre was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout the tour and made it a really great day out. Fatima - an incredible spiritual place; Nazare - spectacular views of the town from the clifftop, and great lunch at the recommended venue; Obidos - a most interesting medieval town. All in all a tour well worth doing.

Players/Officials: Paul Adams | Dave Nosworthy | Geoffrey Toyana
Teams: Lions | South Africa
Highveld Lions have become the third South African franchise in six months to lose their coach. Dave Nosworthy resigned his post 11 months before the end of his contract, joining Graham Ford who left Dolphins for Sri Lanka, and Richard Pybus, who stepped down as the Cobras head coach and has since been appointed by Bangladesh. South African domestic cricket has now lost its three most experienced franchise coaches as a result of the exodus.
Nosworthy tendered his letter of resignation on June 4, but it was only accepted by the Lions board on Monday. Although Nosworthy called it "a sad time" and Cassim Docrat, the Lions chief executive thanked Nosworthy for his service and labelled him a "loyal, professional and dedicated individual," ESPNcricinfo understands that ideological disputes and a lack of results caused Nosworthy's departure from the franchise.
In a statement, Nosworthy said "a number of personal and principled factors were involved in my decision." Sources close to the franchise say differences with the current administrators of have underlined these factors. If that is the case, Nosworthy would not be the only coach to have disagreements with management.
Pybus left Cobras under a cloud and claimed he was "undermined" by the chief executive Andre Odendaal, who responded by calling him "prickly." Pybus was the most successful franchise coach in the country having won trophies in all three formats with both Titans and Cobras. When he quit his job in Cape Town, Pybus did not have any employment but through luck of timing the Bangladesh post opened up.
Ford left Dolphins for a national post, having been courted by Sri Lanka previously and turning them down. But, he was also reportedly also unhappy with management at the franchise, who went on a drive to inject youth into their set-up by terminating the contracts of five senior players in 2010 and have struggled for success since.
Results also did not come for the Lions under Nosworthy. They did not win a single trophy, although they reached two Twenty20 finals and qualified for the Champions League T20 twice, including this year. They produced two nationally contracted players in Alviro Peterson and Thami Tsolekile (although neither are from the franchise originally) and have had numerous players called up to South Africa's A side such as Chris Morris, Temba Bavuma and Pumi Matshikwe, while wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock has captained the national Under-19 side.
Nosworthy believes he is leaving the franchise "on the brink of bigger and better things." Although he would not comment on his future, Nosworthy is understood to have applied for the New Zealand coaching job, which will become vacant when John Wright steps down after the West Indies tour. Nosworthy has experience in the country, having previously coached Canterbury.
Lions have confirmed that they will not open applications for the coaching job at their franchise and will appoint someone from within. Assistant coach Geoffrey Toyana is the frontrunner for the job. Toyana played 84 first-class matches and has coached at national U-19 level. If he is appointed, he will be the first black African head coach in the franchise era.
Neither Cobras or Dolphins have announced new coaches, although that will change this week. Cobras will unveil their new coach on Tuesday and it is widely expected that former national spinner Paul Adams will be appointed. Adams has had coaching roles with the Western Province amateur side, South African A side and the now defunct seventh franchise, Impi.
The Dolphins board will meet on Tuesday to discuss the candidates for their franchise. Although they have not revealed names it is understood that former West Indian fast bowler Eldine Baptiste, who coached the Dolphins before, former South African allrounder Lance Klusener and former Cobras and Lions coach Shukri Conrad are in contention.

MBA student Farida Husain will be able to add another skill to her growing resume, as the first SUNY Oswego student to earn Bloomberg Certification.
"I'm honored by the fact that everyone acknowledges my effort towards earning the certification," Husain said. "Knowing what it adds to my profile feels great and I'm very happy."
Those who have earned Bloomberg certification have the understanding and ability to use the Bloomberg terminal, which is the most widely used information system in the global financial community.
"Students want to earn their Bloomberg Certification in order to demonstrate to potential employers that they are committed to a serious career path, already attaining a relevant skill that can transform their aspirations into reality," said endowed professor Mary Rodgers, the Marcia Belmar Willock Professor of Finance.
Husain was able to complete the certification process thanks to the new Bloomberg terminal purchased by the School of Business.
"The vision of the School of Business is to become a premier business school…one way in which we achieve our vision is by providing opportunities for professional development to our students," Rodgers said. "By offering our students the chance to become certified, we help achieve our vision."
Rodgers, who has an extensive history in finance that includes 30 years at Merrill Lynch, was a strong advocate for the terminal's integration on campus. She encouraged Husain to begin the certification process working as Husain's advisor for an independent study that revolved around the Bloomberg terminal.
"Farida is an intellectually curious student, eager to learn and committed to excellence," Rodgers said. "My experience is that a successful independent study is one in which the professor and the student learn together, and we have certainly achieved that."
Husain came to SUNY Oswego's MBA program in August 2011 from India, where she worked for Citibank for five years. Her background in banking, interest in finance and experience working with clients from the United States inspired her to look into MBA programs in the U.S.
"I was looking for something flexible and affordable," Husain said. "Something that wasn't very high-end when it came to costs, but also high quality."
Husain's academic counselor in India steered her towards SUNY Oswego, a school that met her interests and future plans. She was quickly contacted by the MBA director at the time, Tammie Sullivan.
"Every question I had was answered," she said. "There was a lot of flexibility with course structure, it wasn't huge and I immediately liked it."
Husain was accepted into the program and began two months after leaving Citibank. She considers her experience in the MBA program as "uniquely integrated," as her experience at Citibank has helped shape her education.
"When I take classes, I have a different perspective since I have worked and have applied the concepts we're learning," she said. "But there are also new experiences, like the Bloomberg terminal. It worked perfectly for me."
Throughout her time in the program (she is expected to graduate in May 2013), Husain has found SUNY Oswego to be dedicated to helping her get the most out of her education.
"Since I've been here, I've seen the college make commitments towards to students of all different majors," Husain said. "The business school is committed to providing the research and other opportunities for students in the careers and industries they want to work in."
Farida found herself working directly with the School of Business faculty, all of whom are respected business professionals.
"We have great faculty and a lot of diversification when it comes to management or finance or marketing," Husain said. "They are dedicated to helping you in every way to see you achieve whatever you want to in the years ahead."
Husain encourages prospective MBA students to reach out to current students in the business programs to get a real understanding of the program.
"Spend some time talking to current students, that's how you get the perspective whether or not that program is going to benefit you in your career," Husain said. "The school has every opportunity to offer and people here are always willing to help. The question is, are you willing to ask?"
SUNY Oswego offers the MBA programs in management, accounting and a complete program online. All MBA programs have rolling admission. Those interested in learning more can request information here.

Product description
An indispensable companion to any of the other volumes of "Ancient Records of Egypt", the "Supplementary Bibliographies and Indices" facilitates direct access to specific information on the people, places, and inscriptions catalogued by James Henry Breasted. Exhaustively compiled and intelligently arranged, these indices include the kings and queens, temples and geographical locations, divine names, and titles and ranks encompassed by three thousand years of Egyptian history. Also provided are indices of all Egyptian, Hebrew, and Arabic terms mentioned in the texts, as well as a complete listing of the records with their location in Lepsius' Denkmler. This first paperback edition of "Ancient Records of Egypt" features the important addition of bibliographies by Peter A. Piccione, together with an introduction that puts Breasted's historical commentaries into modern perspective. These bibliographies offer valuable guidance on new translations and modern treatments of the inscriptions included in "Ancient Records of Egypt". Professor Piccione points the reader toward recent studies of Egyptian chronology and modern scholarship on Egyptian and Nubian history. He also provides information on anthologies of Egyptian texts in translation and topographical bibliographies that suggest further reading on specific ancient Egyptian monuments, texts, and reliefs.

Review quote
"In 1906, Breasted, America's first noted Egyptologist, published this series in which he presents a history of the golden age of Egypt gleaned from its records, many of which he was the first scholar to be allowed to study. This edition, the first in paperback, offers a new introduction by historian Peter A. Piccione, who places Breasted's work in a modern context. A solid series for academic libraries and priced so that public libraries also can afford them." -- "Classic Returns," Library Journal "The republication of this seminal work after nearly a century, by the University of Illinois, is as welcome as it is unexpected." -- Josef Wegner, Odyssey

Le Sabot Post-Moderne: Not Down... Moved.
John, Discoshaman himself, wrote me about his site. I just mentioned that I added it to my blogroll last night. Unfortunately, it seems, in the process of moving to a new location, his old site went down due to lack of bandwidth. He asked if I would mention the new address, so here ya go… If you are looking for Le Sabot Post-Moderne, stop by www.postmodernclog.com instead of the old address you may have.
Blog Roll'n
Well, I've added a few good links to the ol' BlogRoll (see right) over the past few weeks. I just added Elevation, a new blog (I just got word about it!) that should prove very interesting, I think. Gavenagain is a very nice guy I know and I'm really looking forward to hearing what he has to say here.
I've also finally added a link to Darren Rowse's Living Room, a blog I've been following for some time, but hadn't linked to. It's a great blog with lots of thought provoking content. Darren recently did a cool series on "Underblogs," those of us who have blogs that aren't quite as well known.
Finally, I've added Discoshaman's Le Sabot Post-Moderne. It's somewhat of a political/culturally focused blog. I really like it so far.
There is a logical explaination for this, sir.
You're Tony Nelson! It doesn't get any more stable

Rebates, Rebates, and More Rebates
Yikes! I had a stack of rebates that had been waiting on my desk to be filled out for several weeks. sigh It ended up taking me thirty minutes to get through the stack, although fortunately with the new technique of printing the rebates on the receipts themselves, it makes things easier. Still, I just don't like doing rebates for some reason… at least I don't have to think about it any more.

I think I figured out what might have been causing some comments to get lost after posting. If you did post and your comment didn't stay online, please try again. I think everything should be working now. Thanks!
What about Forgiveness?
In my recent post about President Clinton, something disturbed me about the response I saw here (and response elsewhere to the President's statements). I've noticed this before, but it really struck me this time. "Where is the forgiveness?" kept running through my head. It brought to mind a lyric that Steven Curtis Chapman wrote for a song called "The Change":
What about the change What about the difference
What about the grace
What about forgiveness
What about a life that's showing
I'm undergoing the change, yeah
I'm undergoing the change
It occurred to me that often times, especially in politics, we get so wrapped up, we don't have a life that is showing the change.
Phew... what a day.
Well, you may be wondering were I've been. Yesterday I spent the day in a hospital waiting room. Dad went in for a angiogram and possibly an angioplasty (after the doctors noticed a small anomaly during a stress test) and instead ended up getting a quadruple bypass surgery. It was, needless to say, very worrisome — he had several passages with 90% blockage and a few with 70 or 80%.
Going in yesterday he really didn't expect more than possibly an angioplasty (where they use a balloon to clear blockages), since it didn't even look like he had more than a blockage-in-formation. We are just thankful it was caught when it was — leaving it alone for longer possibly would have caused a massive heart attack.
At any rate, he's doing fairly well today. The hospital moved him out of ICU ahead of schedule, and he might be released by Monday, which is amazing, to say the least. While the toughest part is (hopefully) over, prayers would still be appreciated.
Mr. Former President: Thanks.
Well, I never expected to say it, but former President Clinton has just earned a hearty thanks in my books. According to CNN, Clinton called in to honor Larry King's guest — Bob Dole — on Dole's 80th birthday. During the conversation, he talked about the current controversy concerning President Bush's State of the Union address. Of course we know what he said. He talked about how terrible the president was and what a bad job he'd done — err, wait a second, actually that wasn't anything like what he said.
New Graphic.
Well, isn't this exciting. When asisaid.com first launched, I ran out of time working on a few scripting issues for the updated Tim's Journal, and so I just used my old Tim's Site "logo" modified with the name as I said on it. Well, I finally took the time to give asisaid.com it's very own logo. Waddya think? The logos are below for your perusal.

This is the kind of the wedding that makes my heart do leaps. Because not only is it beyond lovely, but it's also jam-packed with sweet, sentimental details that have me smiling ear to ear this morning. From the stunning Cathedral Park ceremony setting to the last piece of delicious pie consumed from the Baker And Spice pie bar, every moment captured by Brittany Lauren will warm your heart and then some, and you can see them all here.
From Brittany Lauren Photography… Ashley and Chris were married at Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon on a very sunny and warm August day. Ashley wore a gorgeous vintage inspired gown with a full cathedral veil while Chris kept it classic in a black fitted tux. Chris's family moved here from Scotland so of course there were kilts and bagpipes also in attendance. They said their vows under the arches of the St. John's Bridge and then danced the night away surrounded by vines and lavender bushes at a family friends private residence. Their color scheme consisted of creams, whites, and green with touches of lavender at each table setting. They served their guests pies instead of cake because really, everyone loves pie!

Rap veteran Nas has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the new Django Unchained movie, specifically, whether moviemaker Spike Lee has a point in blasting its ample usage of the N-word.
Nas, who wanted to name 2008's Untitled the N-word, could not comprehend Spike's issues with fellow director Quentin Tarantino's script.
"I didn't see what the big fuss was about," he said matter-of-factly, pointing out that the term worked in the context of a Spaghetti Western revisiting the horrors of slavery, from a director known for his "language" and "goriness." "It's a movie, movies by [Tarantino], why should we be surprised if the movie is raw? … He's one of the greatest filmmakers of our generation, and we don't go there to see anything less than rawness. He's an artist, and artists have to express themselves." (MTV)
Fellow hip-hop veteran Uncle Luke publicly blasted Lee in an open blog post this week.
"Screw Spike Lee. Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a brilliant flick that more accurately depicts the African American experience than any of the 15 movies about black culture Lee's directed in his lifetime. It's why the movie took home a Golden Globe award for best screenplay over the weekend and why it was recently nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Since Django Unchained hit the theaters, Lee has been publicly trashing Tarantino. In announcing his personal boycott of the movie, the Do The Right Thing filmmaker tweeted, "American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western," and "It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them." (Miami New Times)
Renowned activist/author Dick Gregory has also come to Tarantino's defense in light of Spike's stance.
"I've seen Django Unchained, I've seen that 12 times. Never in the history of Hollywood, have they ever made anything that freed the inside of me. The inside. I'm 80 years-old, I saw cowboy movies, wasn't no Black folks in cowboy movies. I'm looking at a Western, plus a love story. To those of you all that see it, you'll never see a love story about a Black man and a Black woman where it wasn't some foul sex and foul language, huh. And Spike Lee can't appreciate that. That little thug ain't even seen the movie, he's acting like he's White." (We All Be TV)
Recently, Chicago rapper Rhymefest chopped it up with SOHH and weighed in on the controversy.
"I think that sometimes you got to know when you've won. And I think Spike Lee won but he's ruining his win. Now he's putting himself in a position where he's going to have to win again. Furthermore, make some good a** movies and show "us" how it's done. I'm going to tell you something. I don't think black filmmakers can make good movies about slavery. I don't think it's possible. I think we're too close to it. You can. A lot of people are going to hate that. Some subjects, as black people, we get so emotional about things that we don't think about the artistic entertainment value of it as well as the historic accuracy of it." (SOHH Guest Star)

Following a bomb blast in Kunduz city in northern Afghanistan yesterday, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) received 23 patients at its trauma centre. MSF medical teams treated 17 wounded patients, while six people were dead on arrival or died shortly thereaf
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Of the 17 patients treated by MSF, five suffered life-threatening injuries and were in a critical condition. The injuries sustained from the blast included heavy bleeding, head traumas, skin lacerations, and fractures, with six patients undergoing emergency trauma surgery.
By activating a 'multiple casualty plan', which classifies patients according to the severity of their injuries, the medical team was able to identify and treat the most critical patients as the priority.
Quick response of medical staff
"Given the proximity of the incident to our facility, all the wounded patients arrived at the hospital within a 15 minute period," said Elias Abi-Aad, MSF's field coordinator in Kunduz. "The quick response of our medical staff meant the most critical patients received immediate attention, with the first surgery carried out within half an hour."
MSF has been running the trauma centre in Kunduz since August 2011, providing high-quality, free surgical care to victims of general trauma like traffic accidents, as well as those with conflict-related injuries from bomb blasts or gunshots. In 2013, a total of 17,000 patients were treated in the hospital and 4,500 surgeries were performed.
MSF teams also work in Ahmad Shah Baba hospital in Kabul and Boost hospital in LashkarGah, the capital of Helmand province, and also runs a maternity hospital in Khost province. In all locations where MSF works in Afghanistan, a strict no-weapons policy is implemented to ensure the safety and security of patients. MSF does not accept any government funding for its work in Afghanistan and relies solely on private donations.

Painting old wood
I have some old trim from the 1920's. I have used stripper to remove the varish. I would like to paint it white. What should I do? How should I prime it? Oil based primer or laytex? What should I use for a final base coat? Should I sand the wood before priming it? Should I sand between coats of paint? How about steelwool? Should I use steelwool?
Thanks for your comment
Thanks for your comment
I would use an oil based primer on that old wood as you may get some bleed thru if you use latex primer. If the wood is not to rough now you can wait to sand it after you prime it as this will raise the grain some anyway(you should not have to sand anymore after this) and then finish with an acrylic latex semi-gloss such as Duron Plastic kote Semi-Gloss. To sand use a sanding sponge as they will get in the grooves better than regular sandpaper and last longer to. If you need to caulk any joints in the wood do this after you prime, Duron magnum xl is a good one, and if you can wait over night before paintinng over the caulk.

Completed in 1878, This Isolated Sea Fort is Now a Luxury Hotel
When it was completed in 1878, the soldiers who occupied Spitbank Fort had no idea it would one day be a luxury hotel. The isolated sea fort is located in the Solent, near Portsmouth, England, and originally intended as a line of defense against ships that made it past the larger forts further out. As always, Spitbank Fort is only accessible by boat – a level of isolation rarely available in our highly connected world. Now, billed as "the UKs most exclusive private island" it features 8 luxury rooms and a rooftop spa with unrivaled views. It's also one of the few hotels that can boast about having armor plating on its seaward side. [Read more…]
London Underground Posters at the Transport Museum
The iconic London Underground is celebrating its 150th year of operation this year. The "Tube," which opened all the way back in 1863, still serves the city with trains packed to capacity at rush hours, shuttling people to places both central and more remote. Almost as famous as the trains themselves is the design that has sprung up alongside the long running system – so to celebrate the anniversary, the London Transport Museum is showcasing 150 Underground posters from the past.

Make a Wish on an Welsh Money Tree
An old tradition from Great Britain has been rediscovered after a curious incident recently covered by the BBC.

"We had no idea why it was being done when we first noticed the tree trunk was being filled with coins," said Meurig Jones, the Estate manager. After some detective work, however, he found that trees have sometimes been used around Britain as "wishing trees." [Read more…]

The Situation
After three years of sectarian violence that has killed more than 150,000 people and led to the rise of Islamic State, the conflict shows no sign of ending. On Sept. 23, the U.S. and its allies began airstrikes in Syria as part of a military campaign to destroy the extremist group. The U.S. also plans a $500 million program to train and equip moderate Syrian opposition forces that are rivals to Islamic State in the country's civil war, joining allies like Saudi Arabia that have been backing the rebels. The U.S. overcame a reluctance to intervene inside Syria after the militants seized a swath of territory in Syria and northern Iraq with a rampage of terror that has included the beheading of two American journalists and a British aid worker. Earlier in the year, a Western-backed coalition of opposition groups and negotiators from the Syrian government held two rounds of peace talks in Geneva without any agreement. The U.S. and Russia had pushed for the meetings, saying a political solution was the only way to end the conflict. The two countries also worked together to get UN inspectors to tally and destroy Syria's chemical weapons after the U.S. threatened to bomb Syrian government positions following a poison gas attack in August 2013. The violence has leveled cities and included massacres of women and children.
The Background
Once a French-run mandate, Syria got independence after the end of World War II. By 1963, the Arab nationalist Baath party was ruling the country after a coup. A party member, Hafez al-Assad, seized power in 1970. (His son Bashar took over after Hafez's death in 2000.) That placed the Alawite minority, whose faith is an offshoot of Shiite Islam, in power in a country where more than 70 percent of the population is Sunni Muslim. Syria, which has 22 million people in total, also has sizable Christian, Druze and Kurdish communities. In 1982, Hafez used tanks and artillery against residential neighborhoods to crush a Muslim Brotherhood uprising in Hama, which killed an estimated 25,000 people. Bashar turned to his father's playbook to end the latest threat to his family's rule, crushing peaceful protests in March 2011 and then unleashing attack aircraft, helicopter gunships, artillery and tanks against lightly armed rebels. The conflict has created more than 2 million refugees and displaced more than 8 million people within Syria. The rebels hold some cities and large swaths of the countryside, though neither side appears close to a decisive military victory. Assad is being armed by Iran and Russia, which has used its UN Security Council veto four times to protect the regime. Russia maintains its only military base outside the former Soviet Union at Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartus.
The Argument
With no sign that Assad is willing to give up the fight and Islamic State holding territory, there's not a lot of optimism that peace will return anytime soon to Syria. Rebel groups are vying for power and there's concern the U.S.-led airstrikes might ultimately help Assad. The UN's deployment of unarmed observers to the country two years ago didn't halt the violence, and Lebanon and Somalia serve as reminders of states where peacekeepers weren't able to stabilize a country in a civil war. Efforts to arm and train moderate Syrian rebel groups may be rendered useless by sudden power shifts on the ground. There's also concern that if foreign governments supply more-advanced weapons to the rebels, they might fall into the hands of the Islamic State or other al-Qaeda-inspired groups, which could turn them against the U.S. and its allies. Russia, for its part, says its goal isn't to keep Assad in power, but rather to keep Syria secular, independent and, most importantly, intact.
