I lost my hair to chemotherapy three years ago. Although I have a full head of hair now, when it came back it was permanently damaged. I love this wig (I own two of them) and get compliments every time I wear it. The best part is I never have a 'bad hair' day, and I look an easy ten years younger with it on. The color (SF10/26), style, fullness, everything is PERFECT. I also own several other wigs including three Vicki. Trendy looks. Fun. They make me feel confident and good about myself.

back would not flip up
Unfortunately the wig did not look at all like the picture of the model. The back was straight with no little flipping.

What if Tory Burch Were Your Mentor?
January 29, 2014
It's Wednesday, here's what's making news this week:
- Starting your own business is tough. Raising a child is tough, too. Try doing both. For mothers like Manasi Gangan, however, the notion it would be too difficult didn't prevent her from founding Nested Bean, a company that creates wraps for swaddling young babies safely. For more super moms like Gangan, read the list here.
- One of the key components to being a successful entrepreneur is confidence but not all have faith in themselves and their businesses. In the business world, confidence is of the utmost importance for young, female entrepreneurs, so who better to ask for confidence tips? Read this article and learn how to be "polished, poised and prepared."
- How do we get more women in C-suites of companies? The solution to the problem relies heavily on each individual organization but Business Insider has come up with a few general ideas to help aid the process. Formal mentoring programs and active internal recruiting are just a few of many. Read more guidelines here.
- Tory Burch is more than just a designer – she's a beacon for women entrepreneurs. Teaming up with Bank of America, Burch seeks to help thousands of other women build their own businesses in a program called Elizabeth Street Capital. Aside from financial help, she plans to host mentoring and peer-to-peer networking events in Tory Burch stores across the nation. Read more about her endeavors here.

Mary and Clay really wanted to have a wedding affair that was purely "on their terms", and though it may seem unimportant, Banksy the street artist served as their inspiration for the soiree. They always knew that they want to make their own invites so the couple found this Balloon Girl which is a popular Bansky design and used it on their cards. They even went as far as using the balloon concept all throughout the wedding as red balloon were seen all over the place and it perfectly matched Mary's red colored lipstick. Her wedding dress for the day was a Japanese gown which was handmade by her mother.
From Mary… We often hear them say that wedding planning would be stressful especially for the both of us, but the whole experience felt like it brought me and Clay closer together and enriched our trust for each other in manner that we haven't got before. I simply loved it!
Well said, Mary. Huge thanks to Christine for sharing us these photos and congratulations to the newlyweds!
Our choice of music – Processional: "Which Way Your Heart Will Go" by Mason Jennings (Bridal party) and "Cupid" by Otis Redding, Recessional: "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, First Dance: "Only You" by Yazoo
Our most memorable part of the wedding – Clay and I are not used to being the center of attention so walking on the aisle, sharing our vows in front of many people, and the whole build up from the morning really help me feel the jitters! I can recall looking only at Clay as I take my walk towards him. I wanted the entire moment to feel like it was just me and him, but everything happened very fast and were off running outside to have our wedding photos and I felt was being happy and that's what mattered to us! And when it was all over, I was with him and we felt relaxed. It was really the most memorable part of our day.
Clay and I wanted to incorporate a personal feel to the whole wedding so we made efforts to make handmade items and add on personal stuff as much as we can. We included the things that we loved as a couple like these san bitter bottles and added lavenders to use them as name place cards. The welcome gifts we gave for the guests were the peanuts from my husband's hometown and maple syrup from my place of birth.
Wedding advice – Try to know which are the things that meant a lot to both of you. We were particular with the food, photographer, and the venue so we didn't mind spending money for all of them. We also liked being involved in the wedding projects so we had a DIY photo booth and used recycled perrier and wine bottles as vases for the flowers so we ended up not spending a lot on the decorations.
Also take time to recall even the smallest things and ask yourself whether you're caught up in the hype of the planning or you're getting the things that you want.

The first chapter I'm working on is about planning your schedule in
Emacs. Here's my draft outline. I'm targetting 20 pages. The chapter
before this is about managing tasks (35 pages). The Org and Planner
sections in this chapter will build on the previous chapter, which I
haven't written yet.
Audience: - do not keep track of schedule at all - track schedule using Outlook, Notes, or some other program - track schedule using PDA - track schedule using Filofax or other paper planner - already use Emacs and want to learn more tips Why run your life in Emacs Overview of methods The basics Setting up Diary Getting reminders for appointments Importing an event Importing a calendar Exporting your calendar Publishing your calendar Synchronizing Using Org Using Planner Including Diary events Using tasks as appointments Sorting tasks by time Automatically updating a Diary section Keeping private Notes Publishing your schedule Tracking Time
Can you think of anything else that should go into it?

Luis Suarez has another good post on Making the Business Case for Social Computing. He realized that the arguments for informal learning are the same for social computing: the intangible can make a big difference, and these initiatives should be measured the way you measure other changes in the organizations—by the overall outcomes.
The most common objection I hear after my presentations on Enterprise
2.0 is, "I don't have the time to blog." The underlying questions are,
"What's in it for me? What can I expect to get out of blogging? What's
the return on investment on my time?" It's hard to give a dollar
amount ("You will earn XXX more") or a firm idea of time savings
("You'll save YYY minutes every week"). I'm still trying to figure out
how to explain the intangible benefits of better connection and
collaboration to people who already think they're maxed out. Maybe
learning more about how to establish the business case for informal
learning and related concepts will allow me to be more effective at
evangelizing Enterprise 2.0.

I really enjoy looking back on a day and saying, "That was a day well
spent." You can do a surprising amount of stuff in a day, home-cooked
meals and all.
Today's big rock was the interviewbot I'm building for Stephen
Perelgut. I not only put together a decent proof of concept ("It's
more than enough", according to Stephen), but I also implemented a
number of features that I thought would take me much longer to do. I
gave him a full-perms copy of the scripted object so that he can show
it around. I have a couple of other feature requests I can work on
while waiting for feedback. It's coming along nicely, and I wonder if
it's something that we can even release as IBM in order to get more
brownie points. ;) (Either that or I figure out how to sell it, etc.)
Building that interviewbot in Second Life showed me that I'm still
good at picking up new languages quickly and exploring what they can
do. The limits were a little frustrating, but knowing what features
were important to my target user made it easier for me to figure out
the simplest thing that would work instead of getting caught up in
shiny, new, complicated procedures.
Building the command language for my interviewbot reminded me of the
shells I'd worked on for embedded programming projects. I added tab
completion and a simplified help structure to the Compaq iPaq Linux
bootloader, the first open source project I ever had commit access to.
I chose that project because working so closely with hardware
terrified me. What better way to learn than to work with code that
could turn my shiny new PDA into a brick if I made a mistake? (And I
did. Compaq sent me a better model because I'd been so helpful.) I
learned a lot while improving the user interface for something with
limited memory and input capabilities (just a serial terminal for the
bootloader). Several years later, when a friend asked me if I could
recommend anyone with experience in both embedded programming and
Flex/Bison (high-level tools for designing and interpreting new
grammar), I took a look at the requirements and realized that many of
the same techniques I used in my first project also applied. I fixed
the problem in their code, wrote a cleaner solution in C, and sent it
to my friend for free. And now I've done it again—had lots of fun
writing a little command-line interface. I seem to like working with
these interface constraints.
I am geek. Hear me roar!
So yes, I'm very happy about that. =)
I'm also happy about the book that I've just finished reading: "Make
Your Contacts Count", by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon. Most networking
books read alike, but this one made me stop and take pages of notes.
It's worth adding to my collection of favorite networking books, along
with "How to Talk to Anyone", "Love is the Killer App", "Work the
Pond", "Never Eat Alone", and the classic "How to Win Friends and
Influence People." I'll write more about this book over the next few
days. Great find. Written in 2002 and not the least bit dated. I
wouldn't have found it if I hadn't requested practically every
networking book in the Toronto Public Library as part of my goal to
deepen my knowledge of professional networking. I've read extensively
about professional networking, but that doesn't mean I've learned
everything there is to know.
One of the things I love about reading all these books is recognizing
things I'm doing or want to do. For example, "Make Your Contacts
Count" suggests organizing your own lunches or dinners with
interesting people at conventions. Hey, I've done that! It also
suggests volunteering, and I know how much that pays off. There are a
lot of articles I can write based on the notes that I've taken and the
experiences I've had, and I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts
and learning from others.
I'm learning a lot on the home front, too. W-, J- and I had a lot of
fun learning about Siamese fighting fish (bettas) for J-'s science
homework. We enjoyed another perfect melon while watching Discovery
Channel's How It's Made (fishing reels, doll houses, kitchen mixers…
cool)! We've decided that this week is Halloween crafts week, and I'm
looking forward to decorating. =) Life is good.
PCFinancial raised its savings rate to 4.25%, which further supports
my decision to move the bulk of my savings to PCFinancial from TD.
I'll still keep my accounts at TD for flexibility, but I'd rather park
my money in PCFinancial for now. I know it's relatively easy to move
things around, anyway.
And to think that it's only 10:30. I wonder what tomorrow will be like!
Tomorrow I have a few errands, including depositing some checks and
renewing my social insurance number. I'd like to focus on
WickedCoolEmacs in the morning, and maybe tinker around with my bot a
little bit before taking off for errands.
I'll be taking trapeze classes in the evening, too. $15 for a drop-in
class on Queen and Bathurst at 7:30 PM. Want to join me? E-mail or
call for more details.
Life is good.
Random Emacs symbol: ido-complete-space – Command: Try completion unless inserting the space makes sense.
Nearly forgot to mention that Google Reader is my new favorite RSS reader and that I had a lot of fun dipping my toes back into the Enterprise 2.0 blogosphere. It isn't hard. Start with a few favorite blogs like Luis Suarez: elsua, follow a couple of links, subscribe, follow a couple of links, subscribe… I look forward to getting back into that space, and might look into finding a way to categorize my posts. =)
By the way, does anyone know how to get Feedburner to forget your
default feed reader when reading a SmartFeed feed? Right now, it
automatically tries to add stuff to Bloglines. Old habits…

Brian has sniffed out a lead at a junkyard outside L.A. city limits. He and Joe only see vehicles that were used in films, but no icons. But then George Sack, the man who runs the junkyard, leads them up a steep hill to a yellow Camero, and they see Bumblebee - THE Bumblebee - from Transformers. This isn't just a car, it's also a character. After a tense bargaining session, George agrees to sell the car for $22,000, and Joe and Brian head off to find the perfect buyer for such a unique lot.
At a car collectors' club, they meet Randy Rousseau who wants to buy the car for his son, but Joe's minimum asking price of $40,000 is too rich. When it seems as though Randy won't budge, Joe asks him if he'd like to see the car drive itself. Randy's jaw drops as Joe and Brian make the car loop itself around the parking lot. Randy agrees on Joe's price, and will now join the small circle of individuals who know how Bumblebee drives itself.
Stacey, meanwhile, has scared up the very exciting acquisition of an original Yoda puppet. Joe is in disbelief: If there is a Yoda puppet in good enough condition to be sold, it would belong to Frank Oz, George Lucas, or Stuart Freeborn, builder of Yoda - not Toby Froud, with whom Tracey has been speaking. Still, they take the meeting, and find that Toby's mother was closely involved with building Yoda, and worked with Lucas, Freeborn, and Jim Henson to create this character. Toby's puppet was the rehearsal puppet, used for lighting and blocking - sort of a puppet stand-in - and he has plenty of photographs to authenticate his piece.
Toby consigns Yoda, and at auction, it rockets past its $10,000 target price to land at a sale of $22,500. Toby is thrilled that this piece of movie history will be in the hands of someone who deeply appreciates its heritage.
The next journey for Joe and Stacey is to Albemarle, North Carolina, where the hit movie The Hunger Games was filmed. A local collector bought a warehouse full of set dressing - props that weren't touched by actors - but has sold most of it. The gem of his collection, however, is a mockingjay pin, the icon of the series. Joe buys it for $2,000, and listens eagerly as the collector gives him names of folks who might have other valuable memorabilia.
He tells them to visit Tammie Hopkins, a tour guide, who shows them many shooting locations for the film and even Katniss's bow, handcrafted, and with a stunning, real arrow fitted to it. Joe is itching to consign it, but Tammie tells him it's not for sale, not for a million dollars. It's worth too much to North Carolina and the fans, and Joe couldn't be happier to hear that the bow will be admired by throngs of people.
While Joe is away, Brian meets with a collector who wants to consign a puzzle block from Hellraiser, but after cursory research, Brian has the unenviable job of telling the man that the block he paid so much for is inauthentic.
Joe and Stacey have one more stop in North Carolina, with a real estate agent named Ed Philips. Stacey and Joe flip out when they see the property he's representing: The real-life mining town that became District Twelve in The Hunger Games. There's Peeta's bakery, there's the bedroom where Katniss comforted her little sister before leaving for the games. The owner wants to sell the entire property for $1.4 million, but Joe thinks they can get more. He asks Ed if they'll consider putting it up for auction, and Ed agrees. This is a huge move for Profiles in History - a step into real estate - and Joe and Stacey are overjoyed that they get to represent this indelible piece of modern Americana.
Joe talks to 'Star Trek' alum George Takei about phasers and what the sets on the television show were really like.

The country we now call Lebanon is located on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Middle East, which happens to be in Asia.
For the people of the Mediterranean, Lebanon is in the area where the sun rises. It was decided that this eastern section of the Sea will be called the Levant. So, everyone can call the Lebanese Levantines just like the Greeks and the Egyptians.
Lebanon is a very small country, perched on 2 mountainous ranges called the Lebanon and the anti-Lebanon, with a valley in the middle named the Beka'a. It is bordered by Syria in the North and East, by Israel in the South, and the Mediterranean Sea in the West. Unlike the rest of the Middle East, Lebanon is a very "green" country, with lot's of flowers and trees and small rivers. There is no desert in Lebanon, just lot's of rocky mountains.
The Stone Age -- a long time ago -180,000 years
Lebanon has been inhabited for hundreds of thousands of years. River banks were the natural high-ways of prehistoric people. They moved along the Litani, Nahr Ibrahim, Nahr el-Kalb and Nahr Beirut rivers in search of food, hunting, fishing and gathering roots, wild plants and fruit. The only weapon they had were branches and stones, which they used to defend themselves and to kill wild animals. Lions, tigers, wolves, rhinoceros, gazelles, goats, bears and foxes roamed the mountains, forests and the inland and coastal plains.
They took shelter in the caves of the mountains overlooking the entire coast. The discovery of fire allowed them to heat themselves, cook meat, have light at night and frighten away wild animals for the first time. They learned to chip the stones they used as weapons and tools in order to make them sharper and more pointed. These people were known as Neanderthals.
About 80,000 years ago, the Neanderthals disappeared, and their place was taken by Homo Sapiens, the modern human species. They also lived in caves, but produced a greater variety of stone tools.
The Beginnings of Agriculture -- about 7,000 years ago
People understood that seeds falling in the ground grew into plants. They cultivated the land near their caves and sowed crops. They domesticated dogs, sheep and goats. They kept their grain harvest in storage jars made out of clay. Now that they started organizing their food supplies, they spent less time hunting, and started decorating their tools. With the discovery of Copper, people started coming up with new tools and weapons, and also started creating personal decorative items to hold their clothes together. Jewelry became very much sought after.
Gradually, people moved away from their caves and settled in the plains where they had more space for cultivation. Here, near their fields, they built their shelters, their first houses.
The first villages began to appear. The new houses were round or oval. Walls were made of mud mixed with straw. The floors were made of beaten earth, sometimes covered with crushed limestone, and rested on foundations made of large pebbles gathered from the surrounding area. Villages were scattered along the coast, in the mountains, and in the plain now called the Beka'a.
Birth of the City-State -- about 4,800 years ago
The people living along the Lebanese coast during this period called themselves Canaanites, and belonged to Semitic tribes which had spread throughout the Middle East. Others often referred to them as Phoenicians. Trade with Egypt developed. To travel between Egypt and Lebanon faster and easier, the Phoenicians invented the boat. These boats carried cedar, pine and fir wood as well as jars of olive oil. The boats came back laden with Nubian gold, linen, ropes and grains.
The growth of barter trade, by sea as far away as the Nile (in Egypt), and by land as far as Mesopotamia (Iraq), transformed the little village of Gubla (later referred to as Byblos) into a city-state. Metal workers, potters, soldiers and fishermen lived and worked side by side.
City-states were always located by a harbor or on a trade route, and were often surrounded by fertile land where smaller villages grew up. A stone rampart safeguarded the town from jealous neighbors. Each city had its own king and priests.
The Phoenicians - Kings of Mediterranean Trade
The Phoenicians sailed west and set up trading settlements throughout the Mediterranean. They brought back copper from Cyprus, tin from Spain and ivory from Africa. The seafaring people of Sur (one of the Phoenician city-state) collaborated with their new neighbors, the Hebrews. Together they brought back gold, silver and spices from Arabia and Ethiopia, by way of the Red Sea.
The Phoenicians were good craftsmen and their skilled work was highly prized. They crafted gold, silver, bronze, ivory and wood. They invented glass, and produced jewelry. They were excellent builders and helped the Hebrews build King Solomon's temple and palace. These men were known as the "Free Masons" as they were not the "property" of any King. They were also called on to decorate many palaces in Mesopotamia.
In Sur and Sidon, a shellfish called the murex was processed to obtain a dye called the Tyrian purple. That color -known as Urjuwan- was used to mark royalty.
As they had to deal with many people around and about the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians needed a simple system to write down their business deals. So they invented a set of 22 symbols, which composed the first alphabet of the World. The Phoenician alphabet was written from right to left. The ancient Greeks based their alphabet on the one that was taught to them by the Phoenicians. Their most famous teacher was Prince Cadmus, brother of Princess Europa of Tyre who gave her name to the Continent. The Greeks changed the writing order from left to right. Many other alphabets derived from the Phoenician one, and kept the order from right to left, such as the Arabic alphabet.
They engraved their documents in stone and wood, and often recorded their transactions and letters on papyrus paper. Gubla, the city where the alphabet was discovered, traded a lot with paper. The Greeks called this paper Byblos, and -at the time of Alexander The Great- started referring to Gubla as Byblos. Byblos later on gave its name to the first holy book, the "Bible".
The Phoenician cities were prosperous Sea ports, coveted by many people of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Often, to escape an invasion, the Phoenicians took refuge in some of their trading settlements, that gradually became colonies.
There were so many invaders! First the Egyptians, led by their Pharaoh Akhenaton, then the Hittites who came from the north -around Turkey-, then the Egyptians' armies of the Pharaoh Ramses, the Assyrians who ruled further east in Mesopotamia, then the Babylonians from Mesopotamia again, under the leadership of king Nebuchadnezzar, the Persians with King Cyrus, the Greeks with their Macedonian King -Alexander the Great- and, of course the Romans with General Pompey and Caesar.
All these invasions happened in the part of history referred to as B.C. or Before Christ.
One of the colonies sprung out of the Motherland -as the Phoenicians around the Mediterranean called Lebanon- is Cartage, in Tunis, North Africa. This famous city that grew to challenge Rome was founded by Elissa, princess of Sur. According to the legend, the African King told her he will give her as big a land as the skin of a bull. Princess Elissa had the bull skin cut into very thin strips, and used them to line out the perimeter of her new city, which in Phoenician is Quart-Hadesht. Cartage's fame is mostly credited to Hanibaal who's army crossed the European Alps with his elephants. After Rome defeated Hanibaal, he took refuge in Lebanon, showing that links between the colonies and the motherland were very strong.
The Phoenicians were great adventurers, they explored all of the Mediterranean, went out of it into the Atlantic Ocean, travelled along the Atlantic European Coast, establishing colonies along the way. They also circled around Africa, all the way back to Egypt. Legend has it that they even came to the Americas, but could not repeat their adventure. Maybe that was the origin of the Legend of Atlantis!
Under the Roman Empire
The Romans conquered the Phoenician cities about 64 BC. They divided up their empire into administrative regions called provinces. The Phoenician coast, mountains and the Beka'a were included in a vast eastern region called Syria.
The Romans were great builders. They built a lot of cities from scratch, or added many important buildings in existing ones, such as temples, theaters, arenas, porticos, and public baths. They also established a network of roads, spotlighted by milestones, throughout their provinces.
Heliopolis in Roman -or Baalbeck, in Phoenician- was founded at a crossroads of the caravan routes, in the Beka'a. Heliopolis is the "City of the Sun", and was constructed using the biggest man-made stones of the world. Some of the stones used were so big, that story-tellers started referring to Baalbeck as the city built by the giants. In reality, Baalbeck was originally designed to be a retirement center for Roman Warriors. But the Romans had to impress the local citizens of their empire, as the Phoenicians were also renown builders in antiquity.
The city of Beryte -Beirut- became the capital of the entire coastal region. Beirut was a famed University center of the Roman empire. It is not by accident that the first Law School ever was founded in Beirut.
During this period, Jesus was born in Palestine. The Phoenicians of Sidon and Sur were amongst the first Christians.
The Byzantine Empire -- 395 AD
Most Phoenicians became Christians during the first centuries of our Era. However, the Roman Empire was still pagan, and Christianity was not recognized by the officials of the Empire.
Legend has it that Empress Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine was a devout Christian, and that he promised her to convert to Christianity if she were to find the Cross of Jesus in Jerusalem and tell him the same day. Jerusalem is far from Constantinople (Istanbul, in Turkey), so Empress Helen traveled by land through today's Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon to reach Galilee and Judea. On her way, she posted guards on high points. On the day the Cross was found, a bonfire was lit from Jerusalem as a signal. The guards she posted followed her example, and served as relays until the message reached the Emperor. Not only did Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, but he made it the official state religion of the Empire. With his conversion, a new calendar was adopted, with the first year estimated to be the one of the birth of Jesus-Christ.
In 395, the Roman Empire split into a Western and Eastern Empire. The Eastern Empire became known as Byzantine, and was the only part of the former Roman Empire that lasted. Its capital was Constantinople, and religion was known as Orthodox. Lebanon was part of this Empire, and continued to enjoy a period of prosperity brought on by its strategic location on the Silk Route. That famed road brought on silk and spices from as far away as China into Europe.
Early in the 4th century, a series of earthquakes and tidal waves ravaged Lebanon, destroying many buildings and cities both on the shore and in the Beka'a. Beirut so far has been destroyed 6 times by the sea, and rebuilt again.
At that time, a hermit named Marun lived in the mountains north-east of Antioch. After his death, his followers became known as the Maronites.
The Islamic Conquests -- 635 AD
Around 610, a man named Muhammad began to preach a new religion, Islam in Mecca in the Arabian peninsula. In 622, the Prophet fled with his followers from Mecca to Medina (both in Saudi Arabia), and that year marked the 1st year of the Moslem calendar, known as the Hegira.
When the Prophet died, Moslems chose a religious and political leader called a Caliph. They expanded their territory through many wars known as Jihad, or holy war. One of the first regions they conquered are the "northern territories" or El-Sham of the Arabic peninsula. In conquering Lebanon, the Moslems fought the Christian armies of Byzantium, whom they called the Roumis. The Byzantines were defeated, and retreated further north. Lebanon was made part of the Sham territory of the Islamic Empire. Islam became the Law and official religion of the land. Christians and Jews were allowed to worship as long as they paid taxes to the Moslems, and obeyed their laws. Arabic became the official language of the region.
In 656 AD, the cousin and son in-law of the Prophet battled for the title of Caliph. Ali, the son-in-law became caliph until he was assassinated 5 years later. Mu'aa'wyah, the cousin, succeed to Ali. However, the Moslems spilt into Shi'ites -as people called the followers of Ali- and Sunnites, led by Mu'aa'wyah. In becoming Caliph, Mu'aa'wyah founded the Umayyad Dynasty in 661 AD, and set the capital of his Empire to be Damascus, in Syria.
On the Christian side, the Maronites broke away from the Byzantine Church in 680 AD, appointed their own patriarch, who lived in the Orontes Valley. In 685, the Byzantines overrun the Valley and burnt the Monastery of Mar Marun -the Patron Saint of the Maronites- The Maronite patriarch transferred his Church headquarters to the Mountains of Lebanon, by the Qadisha Valley.
The Abbassides dynasty succeed to the Umayyad in 750 AD, and moved their capital from Damascus to Baghdad, in Iraq. Life in Bilad-el-Sham (northern countries) became harsher as the Abbassides levied higher taxes and imposed tougher laws. Trade with other Mediterranean regions suffered. To strengthen their presence in the region, the Abbassides encouraged Arab tribes to settle in Beirut and the surrounding area, called the Gharb (west). But the power of the Abbasside Caliphate diminished, and a new dynasty, descendent from the Prophet's own daughter Fatima declared its independence from Baghdad in 969 AD. The Fatimides settled in Egypt and extended their authority to the costal region of Bilad-el-Sham and Damascus. Contrary to the Umayyad and the Abbassides who were Sunnites, the Fatimides were Ismaili Shi'ites.
Around 986, under the Fatimid Caliph El-Hakim, a new religion was born and spread by a man called Darazi. This was the beginning of the Druze religion. Many families in the regions of Gharb, Matn, Shuf and Wadi el-Taym became Druze. But from 1030 AD, a person could only be Druze if born Druze.
In 1054 AD, the Great Christian Schism occurred, with the Church of Rome and Constantinople splitting from one another. The Christians of Lebanon were part of the Eastern Church of Antioch, and fell under the authority of the Church of Constantinople. At that time, all the Christians of the East were called the Melchites, except for the Maronites.
In 1055 AD, the Seljuks overthrew the Abbassides in Baghdad, and took back Damascus, the Beka'a and the Holy Cities of Palestine from the Fatimids. The Seljuks and the Fatimids fought for control of the Eastern shores of Bilad-el-Sham.
The Crusades -- 1096-1291 AD
The Seljuks did not respect the tradition of hospitality towards the Christians of the regions and the Pilgrims to the Holy Places. They even extended their authority at the expense of the Byzantines, and threatened Constantinople. All the Christians of the region appealed to the Pope of Rome who called on the Princes of Europe to free the Holy Land. Hence, in 1096, the first Crusade set off to conquer Jerusalem and the riches of the Orient.
The Crusaders fought the Seljuks with the help of the Byzantines. They first freed Antioch (in Turkey) then pushed south towards Lebanon. The Crusaders were better known as the Franks or Franjs as the Arab called them. In 1099, they re-conquered Jerusalem, and founded the Kingdom of Jerusalem which also included Beirut, Sayda and Sur. The Seljuks remained in Damascus, and continued to try to reconquer the land ruled by the Crusaders. So the Crusaders built many forts in Lebanon and Palestine to organize their defense. Trade flourished again on the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, when the Crusaders conquered Tripoli, they burnt the famous library of Dar el-Ilm with all of its precious manuscripts. In the old times, libraries were very rare, and often contained unique books that were never copied or reproduced.
In all there were eight crusades over a period of two centuries. The most famous Crusaders were:
Comte Raymond de Saint-Gilles (who founded the Sanjil Castle over Tripoli),
Frederick Barbarossa, better known as Frederick RedBeard,
King Richard the Lion Heart of England,
King Baudouin IX of France -- known as al-Bardawil
Frederick II from Germany, and Saint Louis or King Louis IX of France.
The End of the Crusades -- 1187 AD
In 1171, a man named Salah el-Dine el-Ayyubi took power in Egypt, and founded the Ayyubide Dynasty. He was a Sunnite Kurd raised in Baalbeck, so many called him Salah el-Dine El-Kurdi. He was the first Moslem to re-conquer some of the land lost to the Crusaders. He was a very respected man. He even sent out his doctor to treat his enemy, Richard the Lion Heart, King of England, who was leading the Third Crusade.
In 1250, the Mameluks, former slaves from Turkey, took power from the Ayyubides in Egypt and founded their own Dynasty. They were staunch Sunni Moslems, and forced many to convert to Islam. Some non-Sunnites practiced dissimulation, pretending to be Sunnite to hide their real religious beliefs.
In 1292, the Mameluks drove out the Crusaders who took refuge in Cyprus, and tried in vain for a full century to regain the territory they had lost.
The Mameluks reorganized their territory into administrative sectors, and entrusted the government of these areas to a local ruler who was given the title of Emir (Prince), or Sheikh (Count), depending on his importance. To facilitate communication, the Mameluks used beacon fires, horses and carrier pigeons. Soldiers kept watch of the coast from towers called burj.
The Crusaders learnt a lot from the rich civilization of the Middle East, in terms of construction, home building, agricultural irrigation and processes, medicine, chemistry, physics, and astrology to name but a few. Even the numbers they took back to Europe are called today "Arabic" numbers. This knowledge set the basis of what became later on the European Renaissance, that is at the root of today's modern civilization.
The Ottoman Empire -- 1300-1918 AD
In 1300, a Turk of Mongol origin founded the Ottoman Empire and took power from the Seljuks. The Ottomans captured Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul then set on south and took the Lebanese and Syrian territories from the Mameluks in 1516.
The Ottoman Sultan ruled from his palace in Istambul. The administrative division of the empire was the same as that of the Mameluks. Under him came the Wali, then the Emir, the Sheikh and then the peasants.
In 1590, a prince called Emir Fakhr el-Dine from the Lebanese family of Ma'an became the third Ma'an emir to govern the Emirate of the Shuf. Ambitious but wise, he set out to enlarge and enrich his emirate, and surrounded himself with Christian, Druze and Moslems advisors. He succeed in annexing the Beka'a, Sayda, the Kesrwan and Beirut.
Emir Fakhr el-Dine was such a small man that his enemy used to make fun of him by saying that "an egg can fall out of his pocket without breaking". The Emir replied that "... the smallest pen can record everything in the Universe". In 1608, The Emir made a trade pact with the Italian State of Tuscany. In 1610, the first printing press of the empire was built in Lebanon, in the Monastery of Qozhaya, in the Kadisha valley, using "Syriac" characters, a language close to that of the Aramaic that Jesus Christ spoke.
Emir Fakhr el-Dine is considered the founder of modern Lebanon. In 1613, the army of the Wali of Damascus invaded the region. Fakhr el-Dine fled to Italy, but returned after five years of exile, and re-conquered his emirate. His victory was such that the Ottoman Sultan gave him the tile of "sultan el-barr". But Fakhr el-Dine became too powerful, and in 1633 Fakhr el-Dine was captured and imprisoned in Istanbul. He was executed two years later.
The Chehab family succeed to the Ma'an, and Emir Bashir Chehab was their first prince, and he was Sunnite. He and his successors governed the region in relative peace. From about 1750 onwards, various emirs of the Chehab and the Abillama' families converting to Christianity, with Emir Bashir Chehab II becoming the first governing prince of the region to be a Christian (Maronite) in 1788. He built a magnificent palace at Beit el-Dine, many roads, and planted a fine pine forest on the hills overlooking Beirut. But, he was defeated by an army composed of English, Austrians, and Ottomans soldiers, and went into exile after 52 years of reign. He died in Istanbul. His successor, Bashir III Chehab was appointed by the Ottoman, and was Christian too. He was the last of the Princes of Mount Lebanon, as a new officer of the Ottoman army Omar Pasha became the new governor of the mountains in 1842.
The "Mutassarrifiya" of Independent Mount Lebanon -- 1861
In the middle part of the 19th Century, severe problems happened amongst the people of Mount Lebanon. The Ottomans did not intervene until after many thousands were killed, and French troops landed in Beirut. The Ottoman Sultan sent a representative to Lebanon to discuss a possible solution with delegates from France, Great Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia (Ancient Germany).
As a result, Mount Lebanon became an independent Ottoman province, called a Mutassarrifiya, with a Governor. Daoud Pasha -a Christian- was the first of eight governors to rule Lebanon until World War I. Under this new arrangement, Beirut progressed not only economically, but culturally as well. Starting in 1860, education became widespread again with the help of European and American "missionaries". The Saint Joseph University and the American University of Beirut were founded , and new printing presses were put to work to publish the many books and newspapers produced by the literary Corps.
As a result of this newfound freedom of expression, a literary movement was born in Beirut, known as the Nahda. It provided the basis of a cultural revival of the Arabic language. Beirut became the cultural center of the Middle East. The Bible was translated in Arabic. The first Arabic Encyclopedia was compiled in Beirut by Butros Bustany.
With the turn of the century, the Ottoman Tramway and the Lighting Company of Beirut were founded as the first of their kind in the area in 19060. In 1913, the first plane flown to Lebanon landed in Tripoli (North Lebanon) on December 24th, and in Beirut on Christmas Day. But the population became too dense for such a small country, and the first wave of emigration from Lebanon to Egypt, Africa and the Americas occurred. Many emigrants became rich in their new countries and sent lot's of money back to their relatives in Lebanon. One famous Lebanese emigrants is Gibran Kahlil Gibran, the author of "Prophet", which he wrote in the United States.
Unfortunately, World War I broke out in 1924, with the Ottoman Empire siding with the Germans and the Austrians. The Ottoman Army abolished the Mutassarrifiya and appointed a Moslem Ottoman governor. Famine spread in Lebanon and Syria due to a naval blockade and the destruction of crops by locusts.
The French, British and Americans were victorious in WWI, the Ottoman Empire abolished, and France was entrusted with the Mandate over Lebanon and Syria.
The Birth of Today's Lebanon
In 1920, the French proclaimed the creation of Greater Lebanon in Beirut, which included Mount Lebanon, the Beka'a, Wadi el-Taym (Taym Valley), Jabal Amel (Mount Amel), Sur, Saida, Beirut and Tripoli. Starting in 1922, the Lebanese elected a local Representative Council, which drew up the Lebanese Constitution under French supervision.
This Constitution became the law of the land, and was approved by the French in 1926. It defined the borders of Greater Lebanon which it renamed the Republic of Lebanon, as a "united, independent, indivisible and absolutely sovereign State" (Article 1), with all citizens equal under the law -men and women-. Executive power was given to the President of the Republic, assisted by a Cabinet of Ministers (similar to the American "Secretaries" of State, etc..). Legislative power was held by the Parliament (like the Congress). Parliament members were democratically elected by the people. The Parliament elected the President, who appointed the Prime Minister who, in turn, chooses Cabinet members.
The first President of Lebanon was Charles Debbas, who was elected in 1926 still under the French Mandate. It is not until 1943 that Lebanon became fully independent, during World War II. Until then, France suspended the Constitution whenever it felt like it! Beshara el-Khouri was elected the first President of Free Lebanon (although he really was the third one elected since the creation of modern Lebanon, Emile Eddeh being the second one. In the mean time, three other presidents were "appointed" by the French: Alfred Naccash, Ayyub Tabet, and Petro Trad).
President Beshara el-Khouri called on a Moslem Sunnite, Ryad el-Solh to form a Cabinet of Ministers. Together, these two men created the National Pact, a verbal agreement between these two men, that was never written down. The National Pact defined Lebanon as an independent country with an "Arabic aspect" -and not an Arabic country-. The President was to be a Christian Maronite, the Prime Minister a Moslem Sunnite, and the President of the Parliament a Moslem Shi'ite. All religions were to be given positions in the Cabinet, and the importance of the position held was linked to the relative size of the religious communities. In this manner, Lebanon would not have one official religion, but all religions would be recognized and represented. Lebanon's civil law was written in a way to allow the application of religious laws over the members of that religion alone.
Lebanon was amongst the founding members of the United Nations, and the Arab League. A Lebanese scholar, Dr Charles Malek was appointed to head the team that wrote the Charter of Human Rights for the United Nations. Beirut enjoyed a period of prosperity fueled by "Petro-Dollars" sent home by the Lebanese engineers and businessmen of the Arabic Gulf region (the Persian Gulf). However, problems started again in 1958, and later on in 1975, date of the beginning of the latest war in Lebanon.
Today, Lebanon is occupied, mainly by Israel and Syria. The Constitution has been "changed", and the economical and educational situations are ruined. But as you can see from all of the examples of history listed to you above: The occupant will end up packing and leaving, for Lebanon is eternal……

Reviews for Rootin'-Tootin' Cincinnati Chili
Sort By :
"This is okay but please don't call it "Cincinnati" chili! We lived in Cincy and this is definitely not the same!"
"this has become a favorite dish in my family. Use different noodles, corn bread and the like to keep it interestiing"
"Not even close to Cincinnati style chili !"
"A good, different way to have chili for us, but a little too much kick for our family."
"I've tried this recipe a couple of times and find it to be a pretty good chili. I liked it because it is a bit different...certainly not your average beef and bean chili. What it is NOT is any kind of Cincinnati chili. Authentic Cincinnati chili has no adobo chilies in it because they're too smokey and it always includes cinnamon and sometimes chocolate. Cincinnati chili is always served over spaghetti, some add beans on top, some add cheese on top and some include chopped onions too."

Tim Cook's Big Week: Tech Weekly
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) has had a rough time of it recently, with a drastic share price decline and concerns over the next big thing from the company. Not all is bleak in Cupertino, however, as CEO Tim Cook discussed a few topics pertaining to the company's future this week.
Giving his first public interview since becoming CEO, Cook spoke with NBC's Brian Williams and Businessweek on a multitude of issues, including Apple's manufacturing plans and its broader strategy.
Apple came under fire earlier this year over the working practices and conditions at its Chinese manufacturing plants. Cook announced that some manufacturing of Apple products will be brought back to the U.S. next year.
"And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac," Cook was quoted as saying. "We've been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it. It will happen in 2013. We're really proud of it. We could have quickly maybe done just assembly, but it's broader because we wanted to do something more substantial. So we'll literally invest over $100 million. This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people, and we'll be investing our money."Cook also touched on Apple's next move into the television market, describing it as "an area of intense interest." "When I go into my living room and turn on the TV, I feel like I have gone backwards in time by 20 to 30 years," Cook told NBC's Williams at the end of the interview. "It's an area of intense interest. I can't say more than that." Did Tim Cook Tip Us Off to What Apple TV Will Be? On the product front, Apple continues to expand the reach of the iPhone 5, which arrived in South Korea on Friday. The iPhone 5 and iPad Mini are in the process of expanding in China, with the iPad Mini hitting China on Friday and the phone arriving next week. Deutsche Telekom announced on Thursday that its T-Mobile USA subsidiary will be selling Apple products in 2013. "T-Mobile USA has entered into an agreement with Apple to bring products to market together in 2013," explained Deutsche Telekom, in a statement. T-Mobile USA is the last major U.S. carrier not to carry the iPhone Shares of Apple had their worst week in nearly two years, falling 8.88% to $533.25.

Tom YamasakiFort Lauderdale, FloridaGreat Scissors!I was looking for a really good pair of scissors to trim the hair in my nose. Some seemed cheap and others were way too expensive. I have a Rubis nail clipper and even though it took a little getting used to, its the best nail clipper Ive ever owned. So when I saw these scissors by Rubis, I really didnt think twice and Im really happy I bought them. The design is also very cool. They could be the last pair of nose hair scissors youll ever have to buy.10 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

By Amy Shojai
It doesn't have to be the holidays for us to want to treat our dogs. We love to indulge ourselves-and them-and are careful to avoid poisoning pets with high-risk foods like chocolate, macadamia nuts, avocados, or raisons/grapes. Artificial sweeteners keep owners lean, but any goodies sweetened with Xylitol could cause canine liver failure.
So when the aroma of baking and roasting turns on the doggy drool, what human foods are safe for dogs to snack on? Actually, dogs have been eating the same foods people do for centuries and not only live to tell about it, they thrive. And holistic vets often recommend some of these foods for a more natural way to treat your doggy best friend.
Gingerbread and ginger snap cookies make great treats for dogs, especially if they suffer from car sickness during travel to Grandma's house. Ginger is a natural remedy that counters nausea. You'll want to limit the sugar and carbs, though, to prevent that "table muscle" from becoming too pudgy.
Next: 10 Human Foods Dogs Can Eat!
Every dog is unique and has different tastes-and nutritional needs. Some may fight obesity or have food allergies or require a therapeutic diet to counter a health condition, so be sure to clear any table treats with your veterinarian. Remember you wouldn't allow your human kid to munch exclusively on rich desserts or gravy, so balance your table-love with healthy moderation.
Treats typically shouldn't make up more than about 10 percent of the pet's total diet. So if you plan to offer table food, first reduce his regular ration. Tiny amounts offered very gradually work best to avoid upset tummies. Besides, your dog enjoys the attention almost as much as the treat!

10 Human Foods Dogs Can Eat - Holiday Edition

I think you need to add something to the ginger page. You are telling people that it is okay to give them gingerbread. Though ginger is okay, nutmeg isn't. Also, garlic, mushrooms, nuts and raisins can be in casseroles, stuffings inside of the holiday meats that contain something they shouldn't have. Most important, watch your pups with bones. I give my dogs special plates that I make up for them while we eat. That way I tell everyone not to feed the dogs. It helps so I'm not always watching to make sure they aren't getting food they shouldn't. Happy holidays.June 03 2014 at 10:34 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

The Institute For Defense And Business And Lockheed Martin Collaborate For A Disaster Response Integrative Logistics Exercise
SUFFOLK, Va., Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Institute for Defense and Business ( IDB) and Lockheed Martin held a Disaster Response Integrative Logistics Exercise (DRIL) on Nov. 5-9, 2012, at Lockheed Martin's Center for Innovation facility in Suffolk, Va.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090316/DC84323LOGO)
The organizers brought together a consortium of disaster relief-focused organizations from the private sector, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the military to design, develop and deliver a joint humanitarian relief exercise in logistics.
"This multi-day, scenario-based, disaster logistics exercise immersed participants in the complexities of post-disaster logistics challenges in Lockheed Martin's high-tech Center for Innovation. The combination of design and location provided a powerful learning experience," said Ambassador (Ret.) David C. Litt, the Executive Director for the Center for Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction ( CSER) of the IDB. "Given the nature, frequency, location and severity of disasters, and exemplified by the concurrent response to Hurricane Sandy, inter-organizational collaboration in logistics is becoming increasingly critical to the efficiency and effectiveness of disaster response.""Today's crisis response efforts generally struggle with effective logistics collaboration among the multiple public and private stakeholders engaged," said Lou Kratz, Lockheed Martin vice president & managing director, Logistics and Sustainment. "With our 21 st Century logistics capabilities and global resources available from the public sector and private organizations, together we can develop solutions that will help our communities and businesses recover more quickly and effectively after a crisis." One of the unique features of the DRIL exercise, as compared to similar humanitarian relief exercises organized by the U.S. military or even FEMA, is that DRIL focused heavily on the private and voluntary sectors' logistical problems and challenges in disaster response, and what ways all responders can help to mitigate or resolve them. Though designed months earlier, the scenario was similar to Hurricane Sandy's near simultaneous path of destruction. It involved both domestic and international scenarios in the Southeastern United States and the Caribbean basin. The exercise focused on the planning, logistics, transportation, distribution, and other supply chain challenges to effective disaster response. During the exercise, participants discovered innovative ways to improve logistics integration and intergovernmental, interagency, and international collaboration. Exercises like the DRIL provide opportunities to explore potential solutions to challenges and share successful practices among the diverse organizations. This exercise also provided unique opportunities for participants to learn from each other and share their collective wisdom while forming new relationships to foster future collaborations.

Original linen backed vintage travel lithographic poster to the fountains at Versailles. The poster features the show in Neptune's Basin. Very good condition and ready to frame.
A view of the majestic water and light show in Neptune's Basin (or fountain) at Versailles. Louis XIV inaugurated the Fountain Shows at the palace of Versailles in 1666. The Neptune fountain was completed in 1741 under the reign of Louis XV. The fountain, featuring statues of Neptune, his wife (Amphitrite), sea monsters and cupids, also has water jets situated within the statuary and in the vases around the perimeter. This poster promotes two events in the Royal Gardens, the Fêtes de la Nuit, a spectacular nighttime water and light show and the Grandes Eaux, featuring music and the fountains by day.

Posted: Fri Jan 29 2010
Packed with hands-on, interactive displays, as well as historical and contemporary objects, films and personal stories, the newly reopened museum offers a wonderful snapshot of Jewish British life, as well as exploring wider issues surrounding contemporary immigration. London's Jewish history is beautifully evoked in displays such as the recreation of an East End tailor's sweatshop, the photographer's studio in which visitors can pose in period wedding outfits and the Yiddish karaoke booth where they can practice their best Yiddish insults. A thirteenth-century medieval mikveh (ritual bath) is on show for the first time since its discovery in the City of London in 2001. The Holocaust Gallery explores the impact of Nazism through the experiences and personal belongings of Auschwitz survivors. In the 'Judaism: A Living Faith' gallery, newly-commissioned films reveal a range of contemporary Jewish families celebrating festivals and Jewish lifecycle events.
