Away From Her
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Julie Christie, one of the best British actors ever, plays a wife being afflicted with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It is the first time I have seen Christie in a serious film in the last 30 years and she is great. Sadly for film fans, this will probably be her last serious film as she herself has been afflicted with a rare disorder called autobiographic amnesia. A great lesson of this film is that nothing in life lasts forever, so maybe we should appreciate the good things in life a little bit more when we have them. Remember the older films where vampires stole our loved ones from us. Well now we have Alzheimer's disease that steals our souls from us. This is something ugly that we must acknowledge, so live life the best while you have the opportunity.
movie drug some, loved Julie Christie but the plot was uninteresting
Julie is lovely and so so talented - I had forgotten what a joy she is in a film. Everyone of a certain age has or will have the specter of Alzheimer dementia in their lives. Away from Her is a good one to see - for now and later.
Very moving film about a couple facing the harsh reality of Alzheimer's disease. Well worth watching.
A hard film to watch but very good just the same. Hard to watch because I have faced my own mortality and at present I am not in a relationship and so seeing what the man and the woman went through together and apart from each other was definitely something to ponder.
If any film could make me have sober second thoughts about being in a relationship, this film is the one I would say, though of course nobody can say for sure what will happen in their lives from day to day.
A really sad, but real subject matter.
Without a doubt, the subject matter of "Away From Her" is an important one, but the pace of the movie is a bit slow for my taste.
I started to watching this movie and thought I could not finish watching it because it was so depressing. However I am glad that I watched it to the end, because it turns out to be very enlightening on the subject of alzheimers.
I cant imagine how this movie didn't win any awards, or how it was ever passed up. I remember Julie Christie from her days in movies such as "DARLING". She was, and is, an excellent actress I don't know how she does it. This movie is excellent I have no faults about it. Period.
Visually beautiful and well-acted, but you definitely have to be in the mood for this bittersweet movie. What an awful disease; to watch a loved one mentally disappear while you retain all the memories of a life together is truly heartbreaking.

An older couple who have been married for a lifetime face a challenging time when they realize that the wife has Alzheimer's. They have never been separated and suddenly she must be placed in a home for her safety.

Q: What is the IRS accused of doing, and why is it creating a political firestorm?
A: Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS office tasked with reviewing applications for tax-exempt status, acknowledged last week that the agency had given a greater degree of scrutiny to Tea Party-movement and other nonprofit conservative groups than to others in the months leading up to the 2012 elections. She said this in advance of a U.S. Treasury Department inspector general's report released this week.
The IRS is an independent agency feared for its sometimes-intimidating mandate and has a history of being used to harass political opponents. Tea Party groups often take the position that the federal government is too involved in daily life, so the added scrutiny tends to confirm their preconception.
There is apparently no evidence that liberal groups drew the same level of scrutiny. While President Obama has called the findings of the inspector general's report of the overreach "intolerable and inexcusable," congressional committees, sensing a possible scandal, have begun scheduling hearings.
Q: What is the purpose of the 501(c)(4) provision in the tax code?
A: Section 501(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code provides that 28 types of nonprofit organizations are exempt from some federal income taxes.
Subsection (4) applies to two types of groups:
• Social-welfare organizations: Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.
• Local associations of employees: the membership of which is limited to the employees of designated person(s) in a particular municipality, and the net earnings of which are devoted exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.
Q: Why does the IRS examine the claims of organizations seeking a tax-exempt status?
A: The short answer is to prevent fraud. Congress wants to prevent commercial interests from manipulating partisan politics through contributions to 501(c)(4) groups that should be subject to income taxes because they don't promote the general welfare but rather advance a partisan cause.
Q: What do these groups have to do with elections and politics?
A: The IRS says that 501(c)(4) groups "must operate exclusively to promote social welfare." But they are allowed to spend money on elections and lobbying as long as the primary activity of the group is promoting social welfare. So they can spend 51 percent of their time and money promoting social welfare and 49 percent on promoting candidates and issues. The test of whether an organization qualifies for the exemption is based on whether its educational activities are conducted in a nonpartisan manner, even when its dominant philosophy on issues is consistent with a political party with which it cannot be affiliated.
Q: What are some examples of 501(c)(4) groups?

I fell off the wagon! for a minute. But i've picked myself up and dusting myself off AGAIN! lol my new goal is to lose at least 15 lbs by Nov 1st. 2009.
I'm also getting a revision sx on the 25th of this month. but that shouldn't slow my progress down too much.
Good luck to me!
so phase one of my mission this year is complete. I got my breast lift and augmentation! It's more work than i thought but totally worth it. It really motivates me to get the bottom half in shape now! I feel 10 times better about myself already. I can't wait to see how i feel at the end of the year! I'm not able to do upper body exercises yet, but i can do lower body work so i have been doing squats and lunges tue and thursday and abs pilates on mon, wed, and fridays. I need to get cardio back in my work out routine! I'm gonna start off on the bicycle then work up to the elliptical. i rather just power walk on the treadmill but i'm afraid of injury ;) LOL

A cornmeal/cornflour mix works just fine, in my opinion. I also like to season that with some cayenne and Old Bay seasoning. It adds a little kick to the tomatoes. I don't add much -- maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon of cayenne.
I concur with Pippinwhite on the oil temperature thing. It is absolutely critical. Worst fried green tomatoes I ever had were at my cousin's wedding. They were frying them fresh, but in large batches, which was cooling off the oil. They were awful. Fortunately, I didn't have to be polite and finish it. I just threw it away. Yuck.

Edward Snowden Had a Breaking Point, Where He Decided to Risk It All to Fix This Country -- What's Yours?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
When Edward Snowden reached his breaking point, the world saw the truth about the vast extent of spying by the NSA on Americans and people around the world. In an act of conscience, Snowden released secret information, saying "My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them."
Snowden sparked protest, lawsuits, criticism of the administration and US intelligence. His action shows the power that comes when someone inside the system break ranks and tells the truth. Successful movements depend on people breaking ranks: questioning, demurring, disobeying, defecting and withdrawing support. As Ken Butigan writes in Waging Nonviolence, the impact can start a metamorphosis for all of us:
"the individual conscientious objector, the abstainer, and the resister — the one who, as Gandhi said, pits 'one's whole soul against the will of a tyrant.' Not only do the Edward Snowdens of the world help the rest of us see more clearly the realities we are up against — in this case, the institutionalization of unfettered, massive data collection on and profiling of the population — they can shock us into realizing that part of our job description as human beings is our obligation to withdraw our passive or active consent from such policies."
What is your breaking point? This is the question we must all ask ourselves, especially those who have not yet taken action. As whistleblower Sibel Edmonds wrote this week, the inaction and apathy of people is our greatest enemy: "Apathy is a must ingredient for any police state, authoritarian regime, dictatorship, for abuses of power, for corruption, national atrocities, genocide. . . ."
This week, we read the sad story of Brandon Bryant, the 27 year old who served as a drone operator from 2006 to 2011 at bases in Nevada, New Mexico and Iraq and who helped to kill 1,626 people. He now suffers from PTSD. Bryant told NBC News "I don't feel like I can really interact with that average, everyday person. I get too frustrated, because A, they don't realize what's going on over there. And B, they don't care."
Imagine how better off he would be if he had taken action years ago and told the truth about drone killings then. We hope he will continue to speak out about his experience. He will find that many people do care and may inspire other drone killers to stop what they are doing and help spur an end to US militarism.
One or a few people can make a tremendous difference. Sam Smith, the editor of Progressive Review, reminds us of the unpredictable power of action, recalling: "there was the time in early 1960 when four black college students sat down at a white-only Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, NC. Within two weeks, there were sit-ins in 15 cities in five southern states and within two months they had spread to 54 cities in nine states. By April the leaders of these protests had come together, heard a moving sermon by Martin Luther King Jr. and formed the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Four students did something and America changed. Even they, however, couldn't know what the result would be."
Just as we are seeing in Turkey, it is often the response to an act of conscience that betrays the regime, shows the regime for what it is, and in a reversal, all of the power of the state boomerangs against itself. Prime Minister Erdogan issued threats followed by extreme police violence, but the result has been more people joining the protests. Yesterday, thousands of lawyers joined the protests and Erdogan issued another threat. And when Erdogan called for parents of children who are protesters to take them home, their mothers formed a human barricade to protect them from the police instead.

Villagers who lost loved ones and homes turn on the government.
MOKHOVOYE, Russia — As wafts of black smoke crept towards this small village outside Moscow, Anna Ivleva grabbed her favorite Orthodox icon and ventured outside.
The fires that have engulfed thousands of acres of Russian land were moving closer. Ivleva joined 20 other older women for a solemn two hour-long procession up and down the village's single street. All they could do was pray.
"In all my life, I've never seen such a hell," Ivleva, 71, said on Wednesday, one week after Mokhovoye, a village of 360 people, burned to the ground. "There was wind, fire, people running everywhere. We could see nothing."
Nearly one month into a record-breaking heat wave, western Russia is burning. The official death toll from the flames — both forest fires and steaming peat bogs that lie underground — stands at 50. Thousands have been left homeless. The toll is probably much higher, but officials have not released statistics on the number who have suffered health damage from the debilitating smog that now covers Moscow and its environs.
Ivleva was one of the lucky ones who managed to escape as Mokhovoye, 85 miles southeast of Moscow, burned. She and her husband, 73-year-old Vladimir, hopped on his motorbike and sped away. "The asphalt was burning on either side of us," Ivleva said. The tails of her housecoat went up in flames.
Nine people died in the fire and its aftermath, and five others are presumed dead. Two apartment buildings survived the flames, while its more popular wooden houses burned. All that remains now is charred land, car carcasses and the stench of burning trees and metal.
Amidst the tears and sadness, there is also intense anger.
"It's a mess," said Vladimir Ivlev, sitting in a small dirty room inside a dormitory for deaf children in the nearby town of Beloomut, where Mokhovoye's villagers have been temporarily resettled. "At 10 a.m. we could see the smoke and asked the mayor to call for air support. Instead, Moscow gave us shit."
The government insists it is pouring all its resources into fighting the fires. Sergei Shoigu, the popular emergencies minister, said this week that 155,000 people — including firefighters, troops and volunteers — had been marshaled to battle the flames.
Yet during a 12-hour trip to visit some of the worst affected regions, this reporter saw no federal presence. In Beloomut, tired local firefighters lounged alongside dilapidated trucks, looking overwhelmed.
"It was scary," said Nikolai, 39, who declined to give his last name, describing Saturday's flames. "We could do nothing. The wind was so strong."
The anger is going right to the top.
During a visit last week to Verkhnyaya Vereya, in another badly hit region, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was accosted by a crowd of angry villagers who lost their homes to the flames. It's a rare scene in Russia, where the myth of an all-powerful Putin holds strong.
"You're doing nothing! Everything is burning! You shouldn't make promises," shouts one angry woman as several others wave fingers in his face. "Your administration works very badly — it should be tried in a court," yells another.
Putin is leading the country's public campaign to appear on top of the matter, but so far it's a losing battle. None of the country's major polling agencies, which consistently report overwhelmingly positive feelings towards the country's leadership, has released analyses of Russians' reaction to the government response. Even the country's normally complacent media is up in arms. On Wednesday, a presenter for radio station Citi-FM said: "They say we have one of the biggest and best armies in the world. Where are they now?"
"Such an administration should be hanged," Ivlev said. "They're lying. They say they'll help but they don't. We all could have lived."
The government has promised to hand out thousands of dollars in compensation to each victim, and to build them new homes by November. The residents of Mokhovoye have so far received 10,000 rubles ($335) each.
Few at the dormitory in Beloomut believe the rest will come through. "We don't believe it," Ivlev said. "Putin said it but we don't believe it."

One of the Junior Watch groups for the Cumbria Wildlife Trust is the Muncaster Owlets. This is an after school club for young environmentalists and run by the World Owl Trust. Every month the club meets to take part in wonderful wildlife activities, whilst having fun and learning about the natural world around them.
Christmas was no exception, with the December meeting being all about decorations made from natural materials. "Using natural materials is a great way of getting kids to look more closely at things they find out in the countryside, from seed heads to pine cones, especially at this time of year when at first glance things can look bear."
The children started with a collection of different natural materials. Firstly they decorated a picture frame with some wonderfully artistic designs showing through. They then made a traditional Christmas wreath by weaving freshly cut willow into a circle. Added some colour with greenery and finally decorated their wreaths with pine cones. This creative session was enjoyed by all and some children even surprised themselves with their creations.

In the article I read (and I can't find it!!!) it mentioned getting rid of two new taxes in the HCR bill specifically - which I actually support.
Also, I still couldn't figure out if their proposal to bring to a vote any regulation that costs more than $100M was referencing costs to industry or costs to the government.
There is a proposed rule to test and approve certain types of explosives (Ammo is in this category) in accordance with international standards.

Unless you live in a world without television, newspapers, the internet, and are hermitically sealed from civilization, then there is a high probability that you know that the campaign for president is drawing to a close. With the election expected to be close, and an electorate that is virtually evenly polarized, the handful of undecided holdouts has garnered a tremendous amount of attention. Millions of dollars have been spent for the purposes of winning over this legion of undecided voters. The television networks covering the presidential debates even formulated groups of undecided voters as a litmus test for the candidates' various sound bites.
Yet, is it truly possible to be undecided? There is enough evidence to suggest that decisions are often initiated at an unconscious level, and somewhat later materialize into conscious choices and behavior. In fact, it is quite common for unconscious emotional forces to drive conscious decisions and behavior. There is further evidence to suggest how the unconscious decision process can be influenced by factors outside of consciousness. When these unconscious preferences are formulated, the conscious mind will typically look for logical reasons to justify these emotional choices. It was United States Supreme Court justice William Douglas who stated "At the constitutional level where we work, ninety percent of any decision is emotional. The rational part of us supplies the reasons for supporting our predilections."

Volvo S40 Basic Maintenance Questions
2004volvos40 Posts: 2I have a 2004 S40. Dealer changes every 7500 miles through first 30,000 miles per the manual. Not sure what oil they use. The 3000 mile suggestion is for really heavy driving of basic american cars particularily in dusty and city driving, or so I'm told. I also have a 2007 Mercury Mariner and that calls for 5000 miles which my dealer provides for life.
maxload Posts: 5On a related note, does anyone know how often (how many months) you should have your oil changed if you don't reach the 7,500 mile mark? My S40 is 2 years old now and I've only hit 10,000 miles so far. I assumed it was something to the effect of 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, but when I took my car into the dealer after 6 months, they instructed me to come back at 7,500 miles. In short, my question is: Should I take my car in now for an oil change or should I wait until I hit 15,000 miles?
It may sound weird replying to my own post, but I was mistaken and I want to keep things straight. My bad for listening to the salesman :-) I shoulda known better.
They don't put synthetic in it when it is new nor during maintenance unless you request it. (I got this from the service manager). They count on the low blowby and the large crankcase (7 qts w/filter vs 5 for most cars) to keep the oil going that long.
I still feel queasy about keeping dino oil past 5k. So, I plan to do the 1st oil change at around 3700 miles and use synthetic for all servicing after that.
The reasons that I'm going to use dino on the first change is because that leaves 3700 till the next service & dino oil will help during the break-in period.
Here is a botom line answer from the service manager, non synthic castrol 5/30 recommended. I have my s40 2.4I serviced at the dealer, and to confirm they use 5/30 castrol motor oil, synthic is extra and as told not needed on a non turbo car unless reqested at a extra charge, norm is 7500 and the service light will remind you of this. I'm satisfied with this answer from the dealer. I might switch at next service, as I put about 100 miles per day in various conditions of driving 45 /50 mix. no problems and no excessive oil usage..
To dealershop or not to dealership.
I have a 2001 S-40. My service engine light is on and I've been told that I need to replace my O2 sensor.
Dealership wants a bit of money. If I change this myself will the computer reset it self or do I need to get the computer re-set by the dealership? :confuse:
subearu Posts: 3,613OBDII will clear the CEL when the condition(s) that triggered it are back to normal again. So, yes, it will reset itself. However, it can take several driving cycles before clearing.
The only other ways would be to use a scan tool to clear the code (can buy one for $100-$200) or pull the battery cables and reset things (however, this can cause the ECU to go back to defaults which can yield lower MPG for a tank or two, plus you'll lose your radio presets).

I presume its best to use Volvo for all scheduled service. I'm wondering if the warranty is voided, or if I risk sub-standard service, if I use a non-Volvo dealer. I'm not out to be cheap, but I gather that dealer service is a major cash center, and I'm wondering if an alternative makes sense. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
volgirl Posts: 7Yes, you do run the risk of voiding the warranty if going to an independant shop. You can but be careful who you let touch your car! The reason is if something fails on your car and you need the warranty, Volvo may ask you for your service records and if you sont have any from the dealership they will not honor the warranty. I would use the dealer for 1 you know they are certified mechanics working on your car, you have someone to go back to if something goes wrong and you know your getting what you pay for (like they are actually doing the work they say they are).
When it comes to service I have no problem laying out the cash to the right people.
zaucha Posts: 1This worked for my 06 XC90:
VOLVO XC90 -- Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI)
(The text message "Time for regular maintenance" is displayed for 120 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.)
-Turn the key to Ignition position I
-Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer and turn the key to Ignition position II within 2 seconds
-Hold the reset button until the warning triangle flashes.
-Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 4 seconds. -The instrument panel gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded.
ecolyer Posts: 1I have a question that anyone with an older model s40 can answer. My wife hit a curb and now there is a clunk in the front end when we turn or hit a bump. I jacked the car up and I cannot see any damage, but I noticed that I can swing the sway bar front to back and make it tap against the engine. Is this normal? I need to compare this to someone elses car. If you reach behind your front tire can you swing the sway bar for and aft? Or is it in a fixed position?

This did work on my 2007 S40, be sure to close the doors, turn down the radio, and tell your wife to stop talking.
Thank You
Edmunds Maintenance said that is is about $3 labor to replace. Our local service station charged an hour's labor (about $80) and said that their mechanic took over an hour but they charged me an hour because that is how it is listed in Mitchell's. They further said that the time was so much because the filter is under the gas pedal and they had to remove the pedal. Unfortunately, I don't have a service manual to check. Anyone replace this filter? (Note: It is not the engine air filter). I'm curious about your experience.
The filter is twenty something dollars. Generally something that is pop-in would be a few dollars. Most air filters are in that category. It is possible that Edmunds made a mistake. I had an Alfa and they wanted $14 for a wiper blade in 1972. When the new parts book came out, it was $4. Obviously a typo. Oddly, the dealer didn't question the price. I found that standard American blades fit and were more Ozone resistant, so I bypassed the $14 blades and never went back, even when it was priced at $4,
Yes, in the 2006, and I think 2005-2009, the cabin air filter is in the "hump" beside the gas pedal and I watched the technician replace my first one in about 40 minutes...removed so much to get to the filter that I decided I'd just pay the shop in the future. Today I paid $130 for a filter and replacement. Very dirty after 25,000 mi.
I also have a 2009 Prius and it took me less than 5 miutes and no tools last Saturday...Amazon price for the Prius Fram Fresh Breeze filter was less than $15.
Oh well, my Volvo seats are better than those on the Prius....
I'm sorry to report that if yours is located like my 2006... inside of the fixture beside the gas pedal... Mine required removing the gas pedal, several pieces of fixture and lots of "stuff". I watched mine being replaced so I could "do it myself". Afterwards I decided I'd pay over $100 to have it done. In our Prius you push 2 clips on each side of the glove box and drop the box to expose the filter slot. It takes more time to empty the box than to change the filter.
volvos40girl Posts: 2For anyone who has oil life questions, I have been in the maintance business for a very long time, and even though the say 3k, Volvos can go 7500 (or 6 months), but ONLY is using a full synthetic. This is because the oil polymers in conventions shear and break down faster, no matter what car you drive. With my experience, The best oil for Volvo's is Valvoline's Synpower. The have it in a 5w-30MST, which is a long-life european rated oil. For the newer models, '06 and above, if I remember correctly, they have a 5w-40MST (again, long life, european rated) which is perfect for a european made car. This is all I've ever used in my Volvo's, and I've gotten over 300k on every one I've own. In the long run you are saving money, because you are getting twice the milage, vs. the 3k recommened for Conventional oil. Volvo actually recommends full syn in most their models, even though they out in Conventional @ the dealership unless otherwise instructed. As far as Cabin air filters, they are actually easy, and youtube has great how to videos on all of them.

Activity from swagbucks cellular store
Farewell, Cellular Store
Posted by TSG on Wed, August 25th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
TSG hates saying goodbye, but the Swag Bucks Cellular Store is going away on September 1st – we're instead going to concentrate on more ways to help you earn Swag Bucks.
Don't feel bad for the store, though – we're sending off to a farm where it can play with other cellular stores all day and have plenty of room to run around.
We had a good run, Cellular Store. You featured great phones and rewarded people with 2 Swag Bucks for every dollar they earned. In honor of the Cellular Store, I've hidden a 9 Swag Buck code somewhere in the Shop&Earn Coupons. You'll find it in the first 5 pages. Act quickly, though – it expires at 3:30pm PDT.
Au revoir, Cellular Store…

For those of you who took advantage of that deal but have yet to receive your bucks fear not! The bucks get credited once we have the ... Read More »

Mark Poulin
Raised in Haverhill, Massachusetts, artist Mark Poulin headed west to live in California. He soon discovered the Oakland Recreational Center, where he received his art education, and began sketching constantly. Now his simple line drawings are finding their way into his jewelry. "It looks like cute is here to stay!" he says.
"When I think a piece is finished, I let is sit for a couple of days without peeking at it, then I give it another look to see if I can take it further. But most times, I edit it down to simplify the piece...Less is more."
"Making the Zodiac 'cute' was a tough but fun project," he says. "With all those horned animals and crustacea, it took a few tries to make them sweet and contemporary." Mark is an Aquarius, the water bearer, which he interpreted as a bear sitting in a bucket of water. "Like most Aquarians, I can see the future."
Mark lives in Oakland, California and has an addiction to playing Facebook Scrabble. collection

Here's a online guide to R & R the rotors http://bit.ly/aEqqm Maybe this will help
Answer #2patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, March 04, 2009, 20:30Master
Sounds like the rotors are just rusted to the hubs. You have done everything correct. There are no "secret bolts" just replaced a set today.
Replypatrick mannion, September 15, 2009, 21:37Master
Kaz121 is absolutely right, size of bolts is 8mm x 1.25 thread.
Best Answer
kaz121 September 15, 2009, 20:15Enthusiast
there should be two threaded holes opposite each other that accept a screw bolt. Tighten the bolts in the holes a little at a time to back off the rotor. make sure you use the right size bolt and hardened steel.Tighten one bolt a little then the other.

Dr. Mastro's presentation, titled "Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis: Current and Planned Trials," will examine ongoing and upcoming clinical trials that suggest oral doses of certain antiretroviral therapies taken daily may prove effective in protecting people from HIV infection.

Dr. Mastro, who joins FHI from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), is one of the leading experts on HIV/AIDS prevention.
During his tenure at the CDC, Dr. Mastro oversaw HIV prevention research
activities, including a landmark study on mother-to-child HIV transmission,
trials of microbicides for women, and the first international HIV vaccine
efficacy trial. He has also served as chief of the CDC HIV Vaccine Section
and directed CDC's participation in the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS
Relief (PEPFAR). At FHI, Dr. Mastro will support the organization's
commitment to continue to expand its global leadership role in public
health and development, particularly in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment
research and programs.

Current and Planned Trials"
WHERE: XVII International AIDS Conference
Centro Banamex, Mexico City Session Room 9
WHEN: Thursday, August 7, 2008

Muslim Man Tries To Sell His Castrated African Slave On Facebook
While slavery is now illegal in every country in the world, ending with Mauritania in 1981, it is still widely practiced, especially throughout the Middle East.
One muslim man created a facebook ad in attempts to sell his African slave. This ad has since been removed, but the photos are still circulating, according to the Gateway Pundit.
An Arabic blogger reported on the illegal ad. The blog has been translated to English via Google Translate. The blogger writes, "Slave for sale For English readers. This photo was seen circulationg [sic] in facebook. I'm not sure of its authenticity, but looks genuine to me."
The ad:
Peace be upon you …
I have a [male] slave I bought from an African country and arranged for his visa and stay till I got him to Saudi [Arabia]
His discription:
1 – Black skin. Tall 172 sm. Weight 60 kilos.
2 – Castrated (excellent for working with a family) you can check him with a doctor our yourself if you have experience in the matter.
3 – [His] health is quite undamaged and has no imperfections.
4 – Age 26 years.
5 – Religion muslim and [he is] obedient and will not disobey you except in what displeases God. Please, the matter is very serious and is not a joke.
Slavery was outlawed in Saudi Arabia in 1962, yet some Saudi immigrants have run into trouble with American law due to slave ownership, including a case in which a judge dismissed charges against a Saudi princess who kept slaves in her California home.
