Wow, that's beautiful too. It seems they just don't make beautiful, elaborate coinage like these anymore?
not really..there are a few nice modern examples out there; European ones , mostly
some of the U.S. commemoratives are nice...not many. I think that the last really beautiful coin that the U.S.issued was the Walking Liberty half-dollar ( the modern silver eagles have that obverse on them now)
wish we would go back to making coins like that
another coin that i just fell in love with is a brilliant uncirculated 1915 half Sol from Peru
I added that to my list, also...lovely coin

Recyclable Items that You May Have Overlooked
If you're constantly looking for things to recycle, the chances are high that there are things right under your nose that you never thought you could recycle. Instead of just separating the aluminum from the plastic, opt to start recycling your more unique items that you normally just toss in the trash can.
Your Receipts
You might find yourself continually shoving receipts into a tax folder or tossing them in the trash, but you might Read the rest of this entry »
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Green Energy
In recent decades, the energy industry has seen a boom in renewable energy production as people have begun to see the value in creating a cleaner, greener, healthier planet. Now in many areas on the United States you have the option to purchase green energy.
Green energy is created through renewable resources such as the wind or sunlight. Both of these resources are infinitely available throughout the world, not to mention powerful. Capturing the energy from these resources is a clean way to power the world, because it produces little-to-no pollution.
Discover your green energy options
You can buy solar panels or even small scale wind turbines to create your own energy at home. Simply install some solar panels on your roof or mount a turbine in your yard to start capitalizing on the earth's natural resources. With enough power, you could go completely off the grid and eliminate your home's carbon footprint altogether.
Despite the many benefits of creating your own green energy, it can be very expensive. Fortunately, it's not the only way to get green energy. Billions of dollars have been invested in wind farms and solar arrays in an initiative to increase the amount of renewable energy used in America. Because of that, you can purchase green energy from a electricity supplier at www.texasenergycompanies.net. Some suppliers even offer rates that offset up to 100 percent of your home's energy use.
Another eco-friendly option is to buy renewable energy credits. These credits allow you to purchase an amount of green energy, usually a megawatt, to replace a unit of brown energy on the grid. Brown energy comes from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal or oil, and is very harmful for the environment. By purchasing renewable energy credits, you could save the earth from carbon dioxide emissions that lead to climate change and pollution.
No matter what kind of renewable energy you choose to buy, one thing is certain: Purchasing green energy is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and make the world a better place.
Reduce Stress: Bicycle More and Drive Less
Driving from place to place can be very stressful. The many causes of driving stresses include traffic, the cost of gas and bad drivers. Driving can cause even more stress if you are in a hurry and have to drive in rush-hour traffic. A great solution to the pressures of driving back and forth to work or on errands is to ride a bicycle.
By choosing to ride a bicycle instead of driving, you don't have to worry about traffic. You Read the rest of this entry »
Save Energy with a Programmable Thermostat
Replacing your thermostat with a programmable one is a great way to save energy. These thermostats offer you the convenience of setting your thermostat according to your family's schedule. This means when you are away from home, your HVAC system can be adjusted. There is no need to comfortably heat and cool your home if it is empty. Of course, if you have pets inside your home you will want the temperature to be comfortable. When you are away from home, choose a Read the rest of this entry »
Build a Compost Bin
Building a compost bin is a great way to put green-friendly theory into practice. A sturdy compost bin will help reduce the amount of organic material that would normally be wasted in a landfill.
By composting old newspapers, vegetable scraps, yard waste and other organic byproducts, you can produce nutrient-rich humus. Home gardeners consider humus one of the best ways to naturally fertilize lawns, flowers and vegetable crops. If you do not wish to use the humus yourself, give it to a friend or neighbor who gardens.
Maintaining a Worm Bin for Fast and Easy Compost
When you are thinking about composting but you are not sure about committing to a barrel or a large pile in the yard, think about a worm bin. A worm bin can be kept easily on the porch or even underneath the sink, and you'll find that it can be a great source of compost for a small garden.
When you are putting together a worm bin, make sure that you start with redworms. Redworms are the ones that produce the most compost in the shortest amount of time. Do not simply go out and gather the first worms Read the rest of this entry »
Government Incentives for Installing Solar Panels
Home and property owners that are interested in using solar power equipment to meet some, or even all, of their needs will be delighted to know that there are many incentive programs that may be able to offset the costs of their investment. Choosing to make use of clean-energy alternatives, such as solar power, can be an important way to address the current energy crisis, one that could save you a significant sum on your monthly electric or utility bills. Enjoying a little financial assistance when it Read the rest of this entry »

Lace Jersey Peplum Dress
Wanted to love, but ill-fitting
It was more plain than I expected and too small even though bebe dreses are usually true to size. Bebe has other lace dresses that are more flattering.
May 4, 2013
So flattering
This dress is simply gorgeous and sophisticated. It has a tight fit and looks well put together with a pair of black heels. Love it!!
March 26, 2013
Perfect for a Business Girl
I bought this dress with the intent of wearing it to work. I was worried it might be too short as most Bebe dresses are - but it turned out to be the perfect length and fit for a classy, professional look! I'm 5'2" and 115 lbs so the XS was perfect for me. I am in love with the quality and fit of this dress, and it's ideal for grabbing dinner and drinks right after a long day of work!
March 21, 2013
I purchased this dress for a special occasion. I am 5'7 115lbs and I got my usual XS and it fit perfect! This dress is beautiful, flattering and classy. Love the playful peplum and the feminine lace on the bottom. Great dress for any occasion, my boyfriend couldn't stop complementing me and he usually doesn't have much of an opinion regarding my outfits.
November 7, 2012
Beautiful flattering dress
I am 5'2" and thin but with curves and this is such a beautiful fitting dress. I ususally wear an XXS but the bottom is tight so I had to buy an XS but WOW what a gorgeous dress!!!! I HIGHLY recommend!
November 6, 2012
Amazing! You should probably just buy this gem already.
This dress is pretty, feminine, and flattering. I have a short torso, so I was worried about the peplum style but it looked great and was really flattering! I can't wait to rock this dress the next time I have a fancy dinner with my guy

September 2014 — Bike Review — The Polaris Slingshot… It's A Motorcycle
By B.P.Goebel
I love high performance vehicles. And, if you think about it, almost all motorcycles qualify as high performance vehicles. On the other hand, most cars do not qualify as high performance vehicles. And, those that do qualify are expensive. Like, as in, 'I'm not getting one anytime soon' expensive. So I ride motorcycles.
Blurring the lines between cars and motorcycles is the 2015 Polaris Slingshot, a vehicle that may represent the highest value for the money in its segment. There are actually two flavors of the vehicle: the Slingshot and Slingshot SL. The standard model, available in grey, retails for $19,999. The Slingshot SL, with bigger wheels, Red Pearl paint and a blade windshield retails for $23,999.
Similar to a Lotus Seven or a Caterham, the Slingshot is just barely not an open-wheel car. The Feds say three wheels equals motorcycle. The styling, angular and swoopy all at the same time, suits the vehicle and certainly attracts attention – lots of attention from everyone, especially from those into performance vehicles and from small children who appeared to lose their minds and all self control when the Slingshot passed by.
While the exterior of the Slingshot appears to have an uncommon layout, the cockpit does not. Inside, the layout is standard sports car fare – steering wheel and three pedals with a standard 5-speed transmission. In its narrow footwell, the pedals are placed for easy heel-toe driving and there is a solid dead pedal off to the side.

Finding Adventure with Bilbo And Two Wheels
By Paul Berglund
Somewhere back in grade school I was handed a book of excerpts from other books; reading it was required, so I set about my task. My lackadaisical brain grew grumpy from the effort. Then I came upon one excerpt from The Hobbit. I was hooked. I went out and bought the book, not an easy thing to do for a kid in rural Minnesota in the 1960s. I read it many times over the years. When I got my first (and only) dog, I named him Bilbo. Thankfully he was an Australian Shepard and reputedly, he was smarter than me. Together we hiked along the river, over fields and through the swamp. I would be gone all day, returning only when I was hungry, or the smell of us grew too foul.
About the time I was age 12 someone gave me a bamboo pole. I don't know where it came from, other than China. It was one of the most wondrous gifts I ever got. It was from the other side of the world. It was so light and yet incredibly strong. It joined Bilbo and I on our adventures. I would pole-vault from clump to clump and reach impassable parts of the swamp. Only Bilbo would stink of swamp from then on. With the bamboo I could poke the untouchable or fend off an enraged woodchuck. It was the most versatile of tools. It came to symbolize much more than a walking stick.
September 2014 — Geezer With a Grudge — Sliding to A Stop
By Thomas Day
I was exploring some of the dirt roads between St. Paul and Taylors Falls on a Saturday morning this past fall, when I had the occasion to come to a couple of emergency stops. The first time was after a short series of 15mph turns on a paved farm road, I was barely out of one of the turns when a large deer wandered into the road and stopped to observe my on-coming motorcycle. He was in the middle of my lane and, since a truck was coming the other direction, the only evasive maneuver available to me was a quick stop.
I've read several reviews of my WR250X that implied that the brakes are "weak" or "mushy." I beg to differ. Maybe for a racer's tastes those descriptions are apt, but for my weekend warrior playbike purposes the WR stops just fine. And it did.
A few years back, I managed to execute a similar maneuver at night on a mostly-empty highway on my 650 V-Strom. For the most part, that incident had a happy ending, too, other than getting me gore-coated when an opposite-direction pickup splattered the deer all over his truck, emptying the contents of the deer's bowels all over me in the process.
September 2014 — Feature — A Peak At Motorcycle Podcasts
By Jesse Walters
If you are reading this, you are likely to be more than just a casual motorcyclist. Chances are, you enjoy riding, reading, working on, and talking bikes with your riding friends whenever possible. Unfortunately, business trips, daily commutes and time at the gym distract us from focusing on our two-wheel passion. Fortunately in this great digital on-demand age, there are a myriad of motorcycle podcasts that can satisfy your need for motorcycle content.
For those of you still gapping your points, tickling your carbs and kick-starting your parallel twins, an explanation of podcasts might be in order. In short, podcasts are Internet radio shows. Most are recorded weekly, some more often than others. The production quality ranges from homegrown podcasts recorded on laptops to full studio productions. Podcasts can vary greatly in this regard, but enthusiasm for motorcycles is their common denominator. Instead of being broadcasted on your FM dial, they are broadcasted digitally across the Internet. The beauty of podcasts is their on-demand playback. You can download the podcast and play it when you want to; at the gym, in the workshop or on the commute.
September 2014 — From The Hip
It's September and I'm trying to figure out where the summer has gone. My summer of 2014 has been completely owned by our home sale and new home purchase. We decided this Spring to sell our home of the past 10 years. It was a five bedroom, 3 bathroom house that no longer housed our four children. It was time to down size. We bought a house in NE Minneapolis that is about half the size. This translated into getting rid of half our stuff. My lovely wife did most of the work. I was not nearly as helpful as I should have been. I'm much better at accumulating stuff than I am at getting rid of it.
I'm sure you're wondering what any of this has to do with motorcycles. For starters, I had to sell a bike because we won't have room for it. I'll be lucky if I put 5,000 miles on my road bike this summer and finally, I haven't been trail riding since last fall. On the upside, I have been enjoying some fond memories of past riding experiences. A couple of things triggered this. Feeling older because my kids are all gone and I'm moving to a smaller house, and a Minnesota 1000 sticker on my tool box.
September 2014 — Random Scootering
Finding Savings, Fun, and a Big Hawk
By David Harrington
For several years now I have been helping out at Scooterville on Saturdays. Bob's crew is a joy to work with and it's great fun to help introduce scootering to people.
Many of the customers who come in are looking for their first powered two-wheeled conveyance and have a great number of questions. Sometimes, a person will come in who has already invested a great deal of time in selecting what they want. That was the case with Deirdre (name changed to protect the guilty, very, very guilty). She was an accountant and, true to the stereotype, she had done her research and knew just what she was after.
September 2014 — Movie Review — The Mini-Skirt Mob
Direct by Maury Dexter
American International Pictures, 1968
82 minutes, Not Rated
by Tammy Wanchena
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and this 1968 cinematic classic is further proof. When rodeo star, Jeff Logan marries a brunette, his blonde ex, Shayne goes out of her way to teach him the error of his ways. And since Shayne is the leader of the bad ass biker gang, the Mini-Skirt Mob, she has reinforcements to assist her in her reign of terror. She uses super creative ways to terrorize him, such as playing "hogs of the road" (using their Honda 305 Scramblers and the like) to run Jeff's camper trailer off the road. When it results in the death of one of their own, Shayne convinces the gang it was Jeff's fault their friend died.
September 2014 — All The News That Fits
Matter Teams with Omodt, Again
Pat Matter, the founder and 20-year president of Hells Angels' Minnesota chapter, served nine years in prison after rolling over on cohorts during a dogged investigation by former Hennepin County Sheriff's detective and retired Capt. Chris Omodt.
In 2012, few months after Matter was released from federal prison, the two agreed to co-author a book. Available now, "Breaking the Code" is written from the perspectives of both Omodt and Matter, with chapters alternating between the two.
Matter tells the story of his life as a Hells Angel in the Twin Cities and Omodt tells the investigation side of the story.
"We'd come to learn that his drug distribution business ran into the multi-millions of dollars," Omodt wrote in the book. "His Hells Angels chapter was the envy of other outlaw motorcycle gangs. And his custom motorcycle shop – his one business that had eventually become legitimate – had been featured nationally in countless cycle magazines."
"I had a choice to make and I made it," Matter wrote in the book. "We all make choices. We all live our lives the best we know how and we do what we have to do. That's just the way life works and I'm not going to apologize for it."
Küryakyn Launches Performance Division
Küryakyn, the bolt-on parts and accessories specialist based in Somerset, Wis., celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2014.
Küryakyn says its goal has been to design one new product every day, resulting in more than 250 new products being brought to market every year. As a part of that massive product offensive, the company recently came out with a new V-twin sub-brand it calls Crusher Performance.
New product development is already in full swing, with the Maverick 4" slip-on and 2-into-2 exhaust systems debuting in Sturgis.

Lube-Tech Enters Polaris Hall of Fame
Lube-Tech, an oil company located in Golden Valley, has been inducted into the Polaris Industries Hall of Fame for its "significant contributions" to the vehicle manufacturer.
Lube-Tech provides specially formulated oils for a variety of OEMs under private label agreements and has spent more than 20 years as a Polaris supplier.
Polaris, based in Medina, Minn., inducted three retired employees, three dealers and a key supplier to the Hall of Fame during the company's dealer meeting in late July, during which the OEM also celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Royal Enfield Taps Former H-D Suit
India-based Eicher Motors Ltd. has named Rod Copes as president of its Royal Enfield business in North America as the brand begins work to "rapidly expand" stateside – already the company's top export market.
Copes previously worked with Harley-Davidson, most recently as head of Global Sales & Customer Service. He holds a Master's degree in Engineering and an MBA from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"The North American region provides an interesting opportunity for the brand," Copes said. "While lightweight and heavyweight bikes dominate the motorcycle scene in the U.S.A and Canada, Royal Enfield sits right in the middle with classic, fun, approachable designs that appeal to a younger, urban-oriented demographic."
"We welcome and are encouraged by the appointment of Rod," Kevin Mahoney, president of Faribault, Minn.-based Royal Enfield importer and distributor Classic Motorworks Ltd., said in a prepared statement. "Rod will be a welcome addition to our team in the U.S. and we are looking forward to working with him."
Royal Enfield motorcycles are sold in Minneapolis by GoMoto.
One Sexy Biker Chick
Downtown Shakopee has One Sexy Biker Chick. At least, that's the name of the women's motorcycle apparel shop Inessa Hansen recently opened to sell shirts, jackets, boots, gloves and accessories.
A resident of Prior Lake, Hansen launched the One Sexy Biker Chick clothing line online in 2010 and sells product at a couple of dozen motorcycle rallies every year.
The Shakopee location – a 1880s era building – features a 2,000-square-foot store and 2,300-square-foot warehouse.
Sturgis Looks Toward 75th
Although official figures have yet to be revealed, visitors to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in early August report attendance appeared to be down compared to the event in 2013, when roughly 467,000 enthusiasts rolled in – according to the tally distributed by organizers.
Nevertheless, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will celebrate its 75th year in 2015, and some organizers and city leaders estimate the event could attract one million visitors.
"I'm very confident the 75th will be remarkably more heavily attended than anything we have experienced before," Buffalo Chip President Rod Woodruff told the Rapid City Journal. "It will be the biggest rally we have ever had."
It had better be. Woodruff went on the say that a banner year for the Black Hills event would buck the trend of other major rallies conducted throughout the U.S., all of which have experienced declining attendance over the past decade.
"Rallies failed," he said. "A decade ago, Daytona rivaled Sturgis in attendance but it's virtually gone, a mere shadow of its former self."
Relatedly, the South Dakota Highway Patrol says it this year tallied 244 DUI arrests, 252 misdemeanor drug arrests, 90 felony drug arrests, and seized more than $25,000 in cash during the course of the annual event. The S.D. Department of Public Safety says 68 crashes resulted in four motorcyclist fatalities, down from six in 2013.
August 2014 — Bike Review — Triumph's 'Traditional' Thunderbird LT
By Guido Ebert
Lets start by pointing out that there have been quite a few bikes that look like this on the market; most, apparently, squarely targeted at Harley-Davidson's successful Heritage Softail Classic.
Building a LT is a familiar recipe for cruiser manufacturers. Step 1) Base it on a cruiser in your line. Step 2) Raid the parts bin for items that'll make that existing cruiser comfortable for light touring duties.
In this case, the 2014 Thunderbird LT shares its structure with the equally new Thunderbird Commander ($15,699) and some of the amenities – fore and aft lighting, for instance – appear to come from the Rocket III Touring.
From a technical standpoint, the only real difference between the Commander and the Thunderbird LT is that the Commander runs on a 140/75 ZR17 front tire with 17 x 3.5 in. cast alloy five-spoke and a 200/50 ZR17 rear tire with a 17 x 6 in. cast alloy five-spoke.

Some financial analysts predict Sysco Corp. will have to divest part of its operations before the government will approve its planned purchase of competitor U.S. Foods, but the distributor's chief executive said he's not worried.
A joint statement issued by the companies said it will be business as usual for their suppliers and customers until the deal closes in the third quarter of 2014. Sysco president and chief executive officer Bill DeLaney will continue to lead the combined companies, which will be known as Sysco Corp.
DeLaney and other company officials discussed the multi-billion dollar deal Dec. 9 during a conference call. It includes $3.5 billion in stock and cash for the Rosemont, Ill.-based U.S. Foods and another $4.7 billion in net debt that Sysco will assume.
U.S. Foods officials did not participate in the call and did not return calls for additional comments.
The companies launched a special Web page — www.bestofbothinfood.com/suppliers — to reassure suppliers and customers that there won't be any disruptions in filling orders or meeting existing contract obligations.
"You can expect that there will be no changes in the manner you interact with your designated contacts at Sysco and U.S. Foods. When the transaction is completed, we will move forward as one company, which will continue to be named Sysco," according to the Web page.
Houston-based Sysco, the parent company of fresh produce distributor FreshPoint Inc., has 193 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada, including 31 operated by FreshPoint. U.S. Foods has 60 locations across the country. Initially, all of the locations will continue operations as normal at until the deal closes, DeLaney said during the conference call.
With Sysco and U.S. Foods No.1 and No.2 in terms of market share, according to the Nielsen Group and Technomic Inc., the acquisition would secure Sysco's position as the largest food distributor in the country.
DeLaney said potential anti-trust issues might mean some divestitures, "but we still see this as a very attractive deal."
"I'm not going to get into the specifics of the FTC perspective," DeLaney said. "We think our market share is about 18% and they're about half our size. So, mathematically, you're talking over 25% give or take."
The managing director of BB&T Capital Markets told The New York Times he thought Sysco would be forced to divest.

Think Easter egg hunts are just for kids? Think again! Dogs have the perfect nose to sniff out these perennial holiday favorites.
The Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) of Richmond, VA, hosted its Fifth Annual Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs last weekend to raise money for needy pets. To participate, there was a $10 entrance fee, and volunteers sold food and drinks. Last year, the hunt raised about $2,000 and about 125 dogs participated.
According to Alice Singh, the AARF volunteer who created the event, the hunt is more than just a chance to raise money, it's a good way to expose people to AARF and get them out with their dogs in a friendly environment.
This was the second year that sibling pugs Fiona and Shreck participated. Their owners, Michael and Shannon Goodman of Wilkesboro, said that last year, they came away with one gift basket. This year, they collected 60 eggs, and in them were tickets for three gift baskets.

Family counselor, Tara Moser, LCSW, enlists the help of her dogs, Bode and Abbey, to help children through difficult times and crisis situations.
Ms. Moser first heard about the concept of pet therapy several years ago and corresponded with a therapist in Pennsylvania who was already using pets in her practice. Moser started working with her dogs and put them to work in her practice in 2006.
"There are a lot of times during therapy when I'm blending in with the couch or wall and Abbey or Bode will listen unconditionally," Moser said. "They keep secrets."
Clients get to know both dogs and can request the dog that makes them feel the most comfortable, or they can choose not to have a dog in the room during therapy. Moser said about 95 percent of her clients choose to have one of the dogs in the room during the 50-minute session.

The dogs from Paws with a Purpose offer aid and comfort to the sick and ailing. Spending time with an animal has proven to be extremely therapeutic, speeding up healing time and easing stress. Volunteers with the nonprofit organization Paws with a Purpose bring specially trained pet therapy dogs to hospitals in and around Asheville, North Carolina.
"The visits lower stress and anxiety and create healing bonds", says Pam Hardin, Paws with a Purpose founder/executive director and pet therapy coordinator at Mission Hospital. "Dogs are perceptive and more in tune with nature than we are," she says. "They can sense what a patient needs."
"Pet therapy helps lift moods, which can relieve symptoms like nausea," says Dr. Orren Beaty III, a pediatric oncologist at Mission Hospital. "It gives children a chance to just be a kid with a dog."

Take flights to Brussels for historic guildhouses, dining in Art Deco surroundings and melt-in-the-mouth chocolate.
Things to do
Once home to Brussels' butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, the step-gabled guildhouses framing the Grand Place hark back to medieval Brussels. Stroll the lantern-lit cobbled square after dark to see the lacy gothic Town Hall glow gold.
Flights to Brussels give you an excuse to indulge in chocolate. Spice-infused pralines, champagne truffles and candied fruit peel make choosing tricky at Wittamer on Place du Grand Sablon. A gift-wrapped box of Belgium's finest is a must on any Brussels city break.
Wood-panelled Art Deco brasseries fill the narrow lanes fanning out from Brussels' Grand Place. Take a seat under gilded mirrors to feast on creamy waterzooi stew or garlicky mussels and skinny frites, washed down with tart lambic beer.
Fashionable Bruxellois hang out in cosy late-night cafés on rue Antoine-Dansaert. Ring the bell to be buzzed into Art Deco-style jazz haunt L'Archiduc, where Miles Davis once jammed, for perfectly mixed martinis and soulful sounds.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Brussels. Time your Brussels holiday to catch medieval jousting on the Grand Place at July's Ommegang Pageant, or quaff Trappist brews at Brussels Beer Weekend in September.

Hear what students say about their experience at Post University
A couple of things. I considered it because I did my undergraduate work at Post. I looked at a couple of other programs, but the thing that interested me was the innovation focus Post had with its MBA curriculum. I felt that with so many changes happening in the economy and in my specific industry, that this was a key differentiator from all the other programs.
Post's MBA program really tries to tackle the underlying problem many U.S. corporations face today and that is how to get organizations to become better innovators of products and services. I felt that this was a different approach and it really intrigued me. I also thought that based on where I was in my career that I needed a competitive edge, and to be honest, I needed to enhance my leadership and management skills, and I felt that a MBA would be the right avenue for me to take. I felt Post really had the best to offer in that area.
I felt that working and doing this really allowed me to bring my experiences to the program. And I felt that while I'm going through this and I'm learning and gaining new knowledge, I can apply that immediately to my career. I think it was the right decision. You sacrifice a lot of your personal time. I actually go to a library every Saturday and Sunday, so it's a huge sacrifice, but the program is such a great program because it keeps you motivated. The knowledge is breakthrough knowledge. It really is.
Absolutely. When I think about the program, I think it's really prepared me to take that next step in my career. I'm now in an officer-level position because of it. It's really helped me in a number of ways. First and foremost, it helped me obtain an enormous amount of practical knowledge. Additionally, it's really helped me improve my management and leadership skills. I've learned a lot of best practices relative to managing and leading innovation programs. It's taught me a lot about how to tap into the inherent passion of people and how to enable cross-collaboration within an organization to build a sustainable innovation culture. It's not about a quick fix. You need a culture that's going to sustain innovation over the long haul.
I think my MBA helped me obtain the VP position at IPWireless. Today's business world is highly competitive and to land a leadership position – specifically an officer level position – you need the combination of relevant experience and a MBA that can be applied to today's business challenges. When I went through the various interviews, I think what differentiated me from many of the other candidates was the quality of my Post MBA.
The idea of collaboration. I really think that was the one area. I believe people come to work wanting to do the right thing but certain cultures within big businesses really don't allow the organization to tap into the knowledge of their people. Organizations that embrace collaboration will start to recognize better creativity and innovation. When an organization commits to a collaborative environment, they start to see people operating differently – people become empowered to go outside their physical organizational boundaries and seek new ideas across the entire organization – and this gives corporations a better chance of discovering big innovation.
Online programs are a little difficult in terms of building camaraderie because you don't' have that physical connection. But the online experience certainly allowed us to debate ideas through the discussion threads, and the participation that the professors had in terms of guiding those topics and asking provocative questions to make us think through the topic areas helped create and strengthen the relationship with the students and the professors.
It's a great program and I just couldn't be happier. The type of program that Post offers and the knowledge that you're exposed to really is relevant to where we are in the 21st century. It really made me want to learn more. I'm so glad I made that decision two years ago.
I'm on schedule to graduate in May. I've already made plans to make the trip to Post University to experience the graduation ceremony. I did that for my undergraduate degree, as well, and it was a great experience. These past two years at Post have been incredible. I've learned so much. The professors have been outstanding, the participation on the [discussion] boards has been intellectually stimulating and it's been a very challenging program, but very rewarding.
I would say that if you want an MBA program that meets the business issues of today and can meet the challenges that businesses will face tomorrow, Post is really the only program that can satisfy those needs. It's a flexible program and it offers the knowledge that businesses need and allows you to build the skills that a 21st century manager needs in today's business climate.
Absolutely. I think it's the best decision I made relative to my education and learning -- ever. Basically, it has made me a better business person. I'm now prepared to tackle the issues and concerns that my company will face now and into the future. The learning experience and knowledge offered by Post is invaluable and it will help professionals of any industry gain a competitive edge.

Exceedingly stately and dignified, the Grand Dining Room exudes a warm, convivial ambiance. This is luxury on a grand scale, but approachably so. The handsome décor captures the spirit and splendor of a European, 5-star restaurant. Tables are beautifully set with Versace bone china, sparkling Riedel crystal, gleaming Christofle silver and fine cotton linens. Majestic, hand-painted frescoes adorn the domed ceiling. Perhaps most remarkable, the elegant setting is but a prelude to the magnificent culinary feats to follow. Service from the formally attired wait staff is impeccable, as they serve an astonishing variety of French-inspired Continental dishes, course after course.
Hailed for its simplicity and keenly balanced flavors, Tuscan cuisine is firmly rooted in family traditions. Many of the recipes used to create the authentic Tuscan dishes in Toscana have been handed down from generation to generation, coming to us from our own Italian culinary staff. Similarly, the sommeliers are from long lines of wine-producing families, so they inherently know the characteristics of each vintage and can suggest a wine that perfectly complements your meal. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, each dish is a masterpiece that exemplifies the essence of Tuscany.
Thoroughly classic in every sense, the intimate Polo Grill embodies a certain timelessness long associated with the world's finest steakhouses. A triumph of elegance, the restaurant possesses a gracious, traditional atmosphere, courtesy of its crisp, white linen tablecloths, dark-wood furnishings and supple, high-back leather chairs. The Hollywood legends, whose black-and-white photographs grace the walls, would clearly feel at home in the Polo Grill. It is that classic, especially on evenings when the moonlight can be seen dappling the sea through the restaurant's expansive windows. Each course is a consummate expression of perfection, a time-honored favorite.
It's hard to resist the sumptuous, ever changing breakfast and lunch buffets in this light-filled, informal buffet restaurant. You may dine indoors or outdoors since the Café opens onto both the teak-lined pool deck or aft onto the Terrace, where the tantalizing sea breeze is sure to stir your appetite.
The casual ambiance of the Waves Grill, which occupies a spacious, shaded corner near the swimming pool, belies its mouth-watering luncheon menu. Come straight from lounging about in the sun, or for a quick meal between tours, and dine from an outstanding menu of gourmet burgers, tangy barbecue and succulent seafood. It's an open galley, so you can watch the chefs grill each delectable item to order, while you select side dishes such as healthy, garden-fresh salads and crispy, hand-cut fries. For a grand finale, savor a cup of creamy gelato, a bowl of homemade ice cream, or a hand-dipped, made-to-order milkshake.

text: I headed out of the Battle Frontier to do some battling against the Gym Leaders who were waiting for me at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. After beating Misty, Falkner and Bugsy, I headed out to the Pokemon Center in order to swap Pokemon, then I took the Magnet Train back to the Johto region. I played the Voltorb Flip game at the Game Corner, and then I went over to Violet City. I made my way east to Route 30 and I visited Mr. Pokemon's house there. He talked to me and he gave me the Blue Orb so that I could awaken Kyogre at the Embedded Tower. I headed over to the Safari Zone area of Johto and I went south until I arrived at the place. I entered and I challenged the Kyogre that was waiting for me inside. I was able to weaken it with False Swipe and then put it to sleep with Yawn, but it still took a while and a lot of Ultra Balls to capture it. I saved the game once I was successful.

Thanks! I don't really like watching him play tennis anymore but I can still stare at pics like that all day!
I hope
Thanks! I don't really like watching him play tennis anymore but I can still stare at pics like that all day!
When he plays, it's thte only time I watch tennis.
^Same thing with me.. I only started watching the matches for Nadal and THE ASS in hi def!
The first time I saw it, I was in Boston Pizza with some straight friends. Tennis was on... and I was just like, "Damn! Look at that!" Been addicted ever since.
Nadal without a doubt has the best ass in tennis.
Nadal is in the final 4 @ Miami with Djokovic, Monaco & Murray...here's some pix
Had to withdraw with knee trouble
But here's another photo!
Seems Like Every Other Year That Knee Goes Out On Him, He'll Need Surgery Soon Or He Won't Be A Real Factor After He's 25/Late 20s
The right move 4 Rafa I'm sure...nice shirt change pix here b4 he pulled out
Everytime I look at his ass I get the munchies.
His ass is amazing.
Rafa @ Barcelona
He's all about the ass
I'd eat his ass all day
^^^Really?! As much as he tugs his under wear out of it, something in there itches- I'd steer clear.....
I'd be right up there!
He should branch out into more things. I can't keep watching tennis for his hot ass. The modeling ads were hot. Maybe more of that.
Exactly what I'm talking about! Great pictures!
He has a nice ass that's for sure.
so- why did they wax him???
As is tradition the Barcelona champ is thrown in the pool...7 times now for Rafa!!!!
There's no apparent chemistry between the model and him in those photos for Sports Illustrated. In a couple of those photos, they look obviously posed and even averse to touching each other too much.
But damn, Rafa got that PHAT AZZ!
Damn!!!! #teamnadal
CiCi bangz!
That picture in red.... good god.
The guy in red is actually Juan Monaco after he won the Houston tournament last month he submerged himself in the dishwater used 2 wet the courts
Here is a pic of Rafa from yesterday in Rome after he won his semis match
one good thing about him pulling out of the Open- Roger and Novak don't have to play in the semis....last 8 of 10 slams- they've met in semis....
i don't know , i don't see the big waz about him , i think he is butt ugly.
^^^ so bruised from all the picking
His ass in those red shorts!!!!so chunky!!So wanna sniff it!!!!!
he can keep not smiling though. those gums... <
He's got a bung left knee again and won't play the rest of the year probably. Can't say I'm too cut up about that .
the way he plays, frankly, I'd be VERY suprised if he makes it to 30- the knees will get worse every year- if he is taking the rest of the year off, he should have surgery- Martina rehabed/recouped in 6 weeks from hers- past 50, he should be fine by Australia if he does it.
Another player I'm so schizophrenic towards. Kinda like Roddick. I hate watching him play mostly, but I still want to give him the sorest backside he's ever had .
Someone made this quite cool video. Once in a while he does make some cool shots.
Oh yeah, found this nice pic!
Yucky yuck!!
He says he hopes to come back for AO but could be out till April. Anyway I found this pic I really liked:
I think Rafa plays some of the most electrifying shots in tennis. The forehand crosscourt pass against Federer at the AO was extraordinary. I would far rather watch Rafa, Novak and Murray than any other players and can't wait to have him back,
Now here r some fun cowboy themed fakes.
There's no doubts about it.. his ass is epic. Fuck man.. I'd be in that for hours.
Shame about the face though. It's odd looking.
Rafa pulled out of the Aussie Open- some kind of virus....
I don't get why everyone keeps complaining about his face. Maybe his face isn't perfect or whatever, but it's still pretty nice imo. He has that boyish charm about him, and he's much better good looking than Djokovic imo. I'm all for the face, and his face was actually what made me notice him. I think he's cute. That said.. his ass is perfection. I do understand why his ass gets so much attention
I'm sad to hear this, but not surprised. He's been sick for a while. I'm not even sure if he does have a virus, I think he didn't want to play because he wasn't sure about his form. He's been out for so long, you know.. so he probably knew he wouldn't do well anyway. Maybe it's better to just take some more time off, get some rest and practice, then come back stronger than ever.
It sucks though.. Djokovic will definitely win AO again, sigh. I don't like him and I'm sick of him winning everything. Tennis is not the same without Rafa. I hope he comes back soon!
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
I too think Rafa > Novak in the face.

Good morning,
So, I went out for a granite this morning with my NY friend. We "may" take a trip to Taormina tomorrow.
It does sound like a nice day for Marlene. The tea room sounds delightful and relaxing.
I get the non start for Dee. Sewing is fun, really fun but it is a mood thing. Once you get started it goes quickly. If you are not in the right frame of mind it is a chore. If you have the items cut out.. you are half way there, Dee. I find I have to get caught up on all my housework and ironing before I can relax at the machine.
Say we are in August...whoopee.
ahhhh AIWWTW...no Laureen
Yep, I'll agree....bad Carola... good cholesterol..
Laureen, I could never get mad at you.... you can come in in the morning anytime..
Marlene, congrats on the money back....you never hear things like that.... what do you think of James going back to Cleveland?
good news so far Karen, just keep it up. get rid of all those docs and pills..
going to the doc for Paul's results today, hope they are good, so we can quit this doc, I do not like him. I also got Paul signed up for PT, starting next week, he really needs a refresher course on how to move around.
Good morning ladies,
I have PT today. I wonder what torture exercises my therapist has in store for me!
I went to cards and had a wonderful time. I didn't win anything but I had fun. It was suppose to be a pool/card party but no one went in the pool because it was too cool. Even our die hard pool enthusiast didn't want in the pool. It was a lovely pool. I wish mine was ready. DH is dragging his feet when it comes to getting the pool cleaned.
Laureen I have been fairly pain free. Last night I took the compression sock off because I was having movement in my foot when I was trying to go to sleep. It was like worms crawling around inside of it. I have put it back on this morning since it does keep the swelling down. I even wore my sandal for a little while on the left foot with the compression sock on. I haven't gotten the courage to try the foot brace yet but I will soon.
Carol DH and I went afterward to celebrate my release from Dr. K at Denny's. DH had the lumber jack breakfast and I had the chicken fried steak dinner. We were so full but DH was beyond full! He was miserable!! Where do you store all the kids' stuff? I packed DD's stuff when she got married and took it to her house. I don't know what she did with it all since she likes to get rid of stuff esp when she is moving.
Marlene it pays to double check with hospital tabs! Praying that you have a smooth and uneventful surgery! Speedy recovery!
Sharon have fun with your NY friend.
Diva N I am down to 3 pills. I take one in the mornings if no pain and 3 at night to make sure I have a restful night.
Have a good one,
Love the pictures, Carol. Belle looks a lot like my cat.
Today is odds and ends days getting a bunch of stuff finished up like changing the sheets upstairs. No one big thing comes to mind yet.
just got back home, results were good, no bone infection, but Paul still has a bacterial infection on his ankle bone. one more week of antibiotics, and some kind of salve to put on it. I am getting tired with all these doc visits... We have to go back to this doc next Friday, and hopefully by the 20th of the month transfer to another doc...
Look who's back. Welcome, CJ. So glad to post them for you and it takes all of about 2 minutes - Big deal!!
Good morning ...twice from the fab duo.
Waving to cj!! Good hearing from you via Diva D.
Nothing much here today. Saturday is the in and out day for tourists. We had a little friction in the family yesterday. It is so nice to be removed. I suspect everyone has settled in the night and apologies will be exchanged this morning.
BTW, Nat you have a beautiful abundance of plants/flowers. My plants are doing nicely. I don't have many but they are happy.
Duo and twinsies? huh? no, no, I want a greeting from each one of you, none of this two for one stuff...shesshh
Sharona, happy flowers are the only way to have flowers, three or 80. if they are happy, that is all that counts.... mine are always happy, I talk to them, and I "groom" them... so they smile. hate to think that they have to rest in a little over a month.
Virginia, don't know if I answered you, but I used to have Dahlias in my small patch of earth garden, in front of the house, which is covered in deer netting, and they were always kinda puney... this year, I got a 6 pack from BJ (like a sams or Costco), and tried them in the pots, they are beautiful, but I had to stake them, they were falling all over the place. the pack were all mixed colors, I have yellow, purple, and white with red tips. I am hoping to winterize them, for next year. we will see.
So, the rest of us are chopped liver??? hum? I really don't think Kimmie is that great, for us to be chopped liver....triple shesshh
Good Morning,
The rain sounds nice Carol. We are really in need of a nice rain. Very nice picture.
Sharon, maybe one of the vendors will have some nice frogs! Glad you have happy flowers! Guess Andy has his Basil plants as well.
Nat, Wonder if there are miniature or dwarf Dahlias? That would be good in pots. I ended up with several petunia plants although I planned not to buy them. The deep dark purple and pink are just so pretty. Also have some volunteers. Did you grow Sun Patients? I'm having to move them to shady places as the blooms are getting scorched.
Karen, hope you have a good day. Amazing that the exercising is helping your pain! It is strange how the nerves react differently to textures.
CJ, good to hear from you. You guys have a busy itinerary of interesting travels! We are tied down with the garden and four cats and flowers during the summer months. We drove down to Clearwater Beach, FL to visit DS & DIL in February. My high school class has a dinner in the fall in east TN. Will visit NC mountains sometime in the autumn. We have neighbors with vacation homes in our neighborhood and we have a wonderful view of the lake from our deck and back windows, so I'm happy to right here! DH is also feeding 15 to 20 Ruby Throated hummingbirds.
Things to do. Quick trip to Kroger's and carry of the recycle and garbage. If we stop by Lowe's we will be digging holes for more plants.
Hi ladies,
PT was a whirl of exercises. I had 3 PTs to myself. They were the ones who signed me up. They praised me for all my hard work and that they could see a big difference in me from when I first entered their doors. I really like working with them.
My cousin called last night to inform me that my dad who turned 88 yesterday fell from his shed roof. He was putting a new roof on it and fell into his neighbor's yard. The neighbor who is a sweetheart just had knee surgery so his 8 months pregnant wife had to drive my dad to the hospital. He was okay but they needed to check him over. The pregnant neighbor left him at the hospital. They didn't know what to do so they called my cousin. She didn't want to go to the hospital but her conscious was bothering her so she called me. My sis called the hospital to find out about dad and I will call her to find out what happened to him. Dad refused to listen to me about going on his shed roof to fix it. He told me that he had fallen a couple of times. I told him to get someone to fix it but he is hard headed and cheap! He was a carpenter and he thinks that he is still young enough to climb on top of his shed to fix it. I am glad that he didn't have far to fall!!!
Carol that is a lot of space their things take up. Belle was jealous of you spending time with Ben. Hope you got a good night's sleep.
Diva N I bet you are getting tired of all the dr visits. Glad that Paul didn;t have bone infection. Hope the ankle heals. You take care of yourself. You are not chopped liver but more like pastrami!
Diva D thanks for posting CJ's post. It is sad that she can't get on.
CJ your family is all sprouting wings! You have them all over the states. I hope Enzo enjoys NYU. Hope you all are doing well. Is Seamus behaving?
Sharon it is so nice to be removed from family friction! All my potted plants are dead!
Virginia the PT are talking about having therapy in the exercise room. I guess I will be exercising the whole body along with the foot. I might have to have this closer to home. We have that many hummingbirds. DH just keep fixing food for them every day. My plants have been scorched. I just don't have the time to fool with plants this year. I have so many in the house that I have to take care of. They were not looking good for a while.
Our church picnic is this Sun so I get to sleep in. Church is moved from 8 to 12 with picnic afterwards. I have to fix two dishes.
Good morning -
So glad the therapy is going well, Karen. Can't wait to hear more about it on Wed. How about 11:30? I am making a shopping list for Sams and Target after we eat if I can still move.
We got a heavy thunderstorm last night and it sure was welcome. Read that July was the 2nd coolest on record and 3rd driest.
Sharon, the best thing for you was when you removed yourself from all the family drama. Just hope that Andy wasn't hurt by it. Sad thing is that you know he hears things from the customers and can never really get away from them.
Dee - get busy sewing before she outgrows the outfits before you get them made!! Is that enough of an incentive? I need a push on getting a couple of things written for a newsletter and it is bugging me. Wouldn't take long once I start.
Have a great day and hope that Paul is feeling better, Nat.
Morning. Sorry I didn't write last night. I read but forgot to respond. Long week, but yesterday was one of the most positive days I've had there in a long time. Here's hoping. We went to eat Chinese last night and they were closed. Never saw that happen before. So was just kind of crazy. Slept in today but the mind has been flying around while "sleeping/dozing". I'm sure its the prednisone and yesterday was the last day.
Suppose to be nice this morning and then rain all afternoon, but it didn't rain here yesterday like it was suppose too. No rain tomorrow supposedly so will enjoy the 80 degree weather.
Karen glad things are going so well at PT. Bet they've all learned a lot treating you too! Relief is the most important thing. I'm going to try again to take an on-line free class on meditation through Depaak Chopra and Oprah. I've been wanting to take one but not easy to find locally. I really think all aspects of what we do affect us neurologically.
Glad you stopped in Dee. Poor little Seamus has arthritis already? Poor little guy. Probably all that jumping at the men next door!
Dee get going on the sewing and Doris start your news letter! I am chief procrastinator on this site! LOL!
Oh Sharon, I didn't realize the UN was already there. Guess I was in denial! LOL! So glad you have extradited yourself from it but because of A's involvement it still has to be bothersome. Hard to not let their hurt feelings hurt you too isn't it? Makes me want to smack her, hence why I need to meditate.
Nat and Virginia your flowers sound so nice. Mine are getting scraggly and need to be weeded. Just don't have the time I need for them.
Carol hope you are feeling better today!
Well need to have some "brunch" since I haven't had breakfast and am getting hungry. Will stop back later.
Laureen - was at a bar-b-q today and talked with a friend who is an ex-supervisor in home health. Her company has so far laid off 53 people and more to go. They plan on 3 supervisors who will each take calls for a week at a time covering 16 branches in 2 states. Her comment was that they did her a big favor by letting her go as she is on unemployment and happy as a lark. Also close to retirement age like you. Her comments sounded so much like yours - I know it must be bad all over. All I can say is to hang in there as long as you can.
Beautiful day - hope you are out enjoying it, Karen. Did our rain get over to you, Virginia?
I want to know how you do the meditation on line, Laureen. Ever since Nat started talking about it I have been interested but there is nothing within miles here. I was wondering about a DVD or something but your idea sounds even better. Nat, ask your teacher/leader if there is anything available that would work.
See ya - D
CJ, it is good to see you here. I've been absent, but I think I'm back now. As long as that doggoned Jackie-my-boss leaves me alone for a little while.
Hey, who iz this Kimster? shesshh
Karen, what is wrong with your dad, doesn't he know, that 88, you do not climb shed roofs???? sheeeessshhh... hope he is ok.
Virginia, your place sounds like mine with the beautiful lake. got a couple of sunpatients, and they did not do as well as last year. also got a couple of purple petunias, which I swore, I will never get....they look so beautiful, but need a lot of attention, in deadheading them. I will probably get them AGAIN next year.... this year, I got a few of calachabria (smaller petunias, that o not need deadheading), they are really beautiful and carefree... love them, then I have my ever loving geraniums, which I cut, and winterize...and have them every year. the giant dahlias, are really beautiful. my 6 tomato plants are just starting to turn pinkish....soonnnnn...
PS, Laureen, I signed up for the Oprah/Deepak meditation also, our Meditation class instructor, told us about it, and to sign up for the 21 day class, it is free.. I have been loving the meditation class that I have been going to every Tuesday night...
OK, I signed up for it too. Any other ideas after that is over? I need a lot of something.
Hi Kimmie - we missed you and I've been meaning to email you and let you know. So glad you are back - what's with all bosses?
Evening. Very lazy day here. By the time I got going it was time for lunch so we went out to eat and then down to the hospital pharmacy to pick up meds. Got home and took a nap till it was time to go to dinner with some aquaintences. They are friends through the lady's father and the husband to be has a private duty agency franchise and wanted me to look at the apps they are putting together and to discuss marketing and who to market to etc. They paid for dinner and we had a good time. Had 2 glasses of some very good wine so I'm ready for bed now! LOL!
Doris so glad it isn't just me. I know it but I guess misery loves company. Our corp is going to "centralize" reviewing telehealth and I think they may consider doing it with triaging phone calls also. They were collecting some data on it. Right now I have to back up the triage nurse 1 weekend a month so it's not too bad and it's just my agency. Glad you signed up for the class too. I was going to send you the link but you obviously found it. I've sound up for one before but then didn't do it cause of vacations or something. Really want to do it this time. Did the sample this morning. Maybe that's why I'm so relaxed! LOL!
Karen how is your dad? Did someone bring him home from the hospital? Can't believe he didn't hurt anything. Must have some bruises at least. He's lucky someone found him! How did you do today? How is the pool coming along? How is DS and the job and girlfriend going?
Nat glad you joined the class also and that your teacher recommended it. Deepak is very well known and comes highly recommended. I've got some relaxation tapes from the old job too but haven't been listening. Also glad to hear the tests were negative on Pauls ankle!! Good news! Now hopefully the ulcer will heal with the additional circulation.
Carol, you sound like me today. Hope you are feeling better and that I have some energy tomorrow. Gotta wash clothes so we don't have to go naked on Monday! LOL!
Well I'm falling asleep and want to check the other side. Will be back in the morning.
Thanks for the start up tomorrow morning Carol!!!
Thanks Carol for starting us - no thanks to you Sharon even if you think you are two for one. Nope. That doesn't do it. Thinking doesn't make it real.
See, I was the first to say thanks.
Oops, guess Laureen added that at the end. I can't win for losing!

Qaradawi Warns of Niqab Ban Discrimination
May 13, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Anwar ElShamy, Gulf Times
Qatar-based Islamic scholar Sheikh Yousuf al-Qaradawi urged those European countries which are considering outlawing the full veil (niqab) to review their plans, saying that a wider ban on niqab might prompt clerics to campaign for imposing a "modest dress code" on foreigners living in Muslim countries.
In his Friday sermon, Sheikh Qaradawi said the recent outlawing of the face-covering veil in public by Belgium along with a French draft law to make it illegal would be a violation of both religious and personal freedoms.
"I hope that France, Belgium and all of Europe will show respect to Islamic values and creed. Banning a Muslim woman from wearing the niqab would only place her in a dilemma about whether to comply with the law or obey what she believes is a religious order," Sheikh Qaradawi told a congregation at the Omar bin Al-Khattab mosque at Khalifa South town.
However, the scholar, who is the chairman of the Dublin-based International Muslim Scholars Union, said the face-covering veil was not obligatory in Islam and that a woman should cover the head and neck but leave the face open.
"Although I think that wearing niqab is not obligatory and that women should only wear the hijab (covering the head and neck, but leaving the face visible), I am totally against banning a Muslim from wearing niqab if she is convinced of it as a religious obligation," he explained.
"I do not represent all Muslim scholars. There are scholars in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries who consider niqab as obligatory and there are millions of women who wear it by their own free choice. If I asked them to stop wearing it, I would be violating their personal and religious freedom," he maintained.
Quoting from a letter he had sent to former French president Jacques Chirac, the scholar said the ban imposed on hijab in schools would be a betrayal of the principles of the French Revolution, namely liberty, fraternity and equality.
"I told (president Chirac) that prohibiting women from wearing the hijab would be discrimination against them and make them hate France which is known to be a leading country for freedom," he added.
In his letter, he had also dismissed the notion that hijab was a religious symbol for Muslims as "untrue", saying that if it was a symbol, why they were allowed to take it off when they were in the presence of other women or male relatives.
"Wearing hijab for Muslims could not be dealt with as wearing a necklace with a cross pendant for Christians," he said.
He indicated that the sentiments against niqab or hijab were a reflection of a desire by European countries to impose their culture on others.
"I have received a recent visit by French ambassador Gilles Bonnaud and I explained these things to him. I told him that Muslims believed in the unity of humanity but also believed that each nation should stick to its traits," he added.
"When Muslims ruled India, they did not close down temples or impose a ban on cremation. It is the duty of each nation to respect the values of the other, but with the European case, we can make it difficult for French and Belgian women who stay in Muslim countries by asking them to stick to a modest dress," he quoted from the conversation he had with the French ambassador to Qatar.

Dear Scott,
I actually think we could get along. You're tight with Ian Kinsler, right? I totally like him. And you have a cute nickname. And you're good. See, I don't mind you being good. Against other teams. I don't even mind the occasional hit off the Giants. That wouldn't jeopardize our relationship. It's just that you are, well, The Giant Killer.
In case you think I am exaggerating or being overly dramatic, check out this sentence from your Wikipedia article: "He has been particularly tough against the Giants, with 11 of his 58 career homers coming off San Francisco, as well as 23 RBI, by far the most against any team he's faced."
Wikipedia says it. It's fact. So, understandably, I'm annoyed with you and your game tying homer in the ninth. And why didn't you tell me you were leaving the Padres? An "im a met now" text would have cut it. I think I read it in the media probably, but I was still sort of shocked when you came out on deck.
Then again, I can't decide if this was an example of your hitting skills or some lame pitching. I am inclined to think the latter. Any lingering Wilson fondness you may have detected in my talking about Assyrian beard yesterday has vanished (you read my blog, right, Scott? So you saw that post?).
I know I'm overreacting and it's just one loss. It was just a little bit of a crushing one because of Nate's splash hit and also because you guys aren't, ahem, the greatest team this year. No matter. We'll get you and your friends in black tonight. Don't think this will go un-avenged, Hairball.
Or… well… I have to ask… would you maybe be interested in a trade to the Giants? If you can't beat 'em, get 'em to join you, right? We would love to have you. I'll deliver fresh dinner rolls to the club house every weekend. I make really heavenly dinner rolls. I will also make some really trendy mixes for the clubhouse and I promise not to put any Lord of the Rings soundtrack on there. I'll take you pedal boating in Golden Gate Park and get you the greatest gelato ever in Berkeley. Interested? Let me know ASAP. Ideally, you know, before tonight's game. Thanks. Have a great game. If you're in orange and black. Otherwise, feel free to go 0'fer. We'd understand. The Giants great pitching and everything. Makes total sense.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Congratulations to Jeter on his 3000th hit! What a beautiful baseball moment.

One of the great World War I antiwar novels—honest, chilling, and brilliantly satirical
Based on the author's experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington's first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington's writing about Britain's ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward its astounding finish.
