Moreover, once an employee is fired, there is no guarantee he will stay fired. Each has the right to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), a Carter-era body created as part of an update to the civil-service reforms in the century-old Pendleton Act (a.k.a. the only reason you remember Chester A. Arthur's name). As a board spokesman told Politico, the initial appeal, before a regional administrative-law judge, takes an average of three months to process. A second appeal, to the D.C. board, could take another nine months or more. In the meantime, the terminated will usually have the full-throated advocacy of a union lawyer to go along with a set of MSPB guidelines that set a high bar for the terminators.
IRS brass have presumably done little or none of the paper-trail building required to off Lerner, and they can't skip steps in the process simply because the offender is a political inconvenience to the president of the United States.
Should Lerner ever actually be fired, and should she decide to appeal, she will no doubt point to her lack of a disciplinary history, and indeed to the praises sung of her by the likes of Miller, who was then commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division. In announcing her promotion to her current position in 2005, Miller lauded Lerner as "an integral part of the EO team [who] has successfully increased the IRS presence in the exempt community." (And how!) He went on, specifically praising Lerner's "integrity, skills, and judgment" as "exceptional."
I asked Kettl if such praise was likely to complicate the case for firing her.
"Oh yeah," Kettl said. "If in the past your judgment had been applauded by your superiors, and then something happens that embarrasses them . . . then you've got that paper in the file that you can pull out and say: 'Look at this. This isn't on me, this is on everyone else who put me in this position.'"
Indeed, both Kettl and Chris Edwards, director of tax-policy studies at Cato and author of the institute's study on federal firing practices, emphasized that the key in Lerner's case would be whether her role in the targeting rose to the level of illegality.
"Federal workers almost never get fired for poor performance, but they do occasionally get fired for misconduct. So if IRS workers routinely and willfully ignored laws and regulations, that is certainly grounds for firing," Edwards told me.
According to a 22-year veteran of the IRS's investigatory division, who is now retired and asked not to be named, the clearest source both for criminal charges and grounds for termination against Lerner and others at the IRS is probably section 1203 of the IRS code, amended in 1998 as part of the congressional GOP's Taxpayers Bill of Rights. Known as the "10 Deadly Sins" inside IRS circles, section 1203 spells out the kinds of misconduct that, if proved, result in automatic termination.
Among them? "Providing a false statement under oath with respect to a material matter involving a taxpayer or taxpayer representative"; "concealing information from a congressional inquiry"; and "the violation of any right under the Constitution" of a taxpayer.
Sure, all of this sounds painfully familiar. But the question is whether the new management at the IRS will be willing and able to put the rap on Lerner, as opposed to either "rogue" subordinates or crusading superiors. If they can't get the "administrative or judicial determination" that Lerner is guilty of any of the 10 Deadly Sins, all they'll have to fall back on is poor judgment or incompetence. And in Washington, those sins are merely venial.
Kettl agreed. "Did she break the law or did she simply exercise poor judgment? And is it clear that it was her poor judgment, or her superiors'? I'm not sure that under these circumstances I'd want to be the one making that the procedural case."
And if you think that the publicity of the IRS scandal will make it easier to fire Lerner, or for her firing to stick, think again. Jeff Neely, the GSA administrator who was infamously photographed last year in a hot tub enjoying a glass of wine at a taxpayer-funded conference in Las Vegas, and who became the focus of a congressional investigation into wasteful spending, retired with benefits. His colleague Paul Prouty was fired for his role in the conference, but was reinstated on appeal to the MSPB — with eleven months' back pay.
Given all these hurdles, it would certainly be understandable for the White House to resort to asking its allies in the blogosphere to create public pressure on Lerner. Maybe she'll quit — or be struck by lightning. Either seems likelier, at this point, than a pink slip.

Sarco had NOS Chinese SKS stocks for about $25 awhile back, I ordered one, give me a minute and I'll link it and check to see which cut they are. Edit: they are out of stock and mine is the spike cut anyway, they are excepting back orders and according to the comments at least some of them have the blade cut.
When you find one don't think it will be cheap$$$$$.
I will try and post them on here. Russian or Yugo stocks are hard to find.
Is that the refinished Russian? Looks like a Russian.
Yes it is a Russian
Looks nice
Thank you! I bought that carbine back in the early 90's (back when you could purchase a long gun and take it home with you the same day). It was unfired and cost me a whole $78.00 Makes me wish I had bought several of them. I put a Intrafuse stock on mine and it fits perfect. It is a little bit heavier than the wood stock but I like having the pistol grip. I have noticed that the Russian stocks seem harder to find and they are worth more money.
Ya same here. I have the tapco and it works fine but I wanna go to the timbersmith stock now.

Barry Bonds asks judge to toss out perjury case
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds asked a federal judge to dismiss perjury charges against him Wednesday, arguing the indictment is "scattershot" and noted for its "striking inartfulness."
Bonds was charged in November with lying to a grand jury about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
In the motion filed in San Francisco federal court, the former San Francisco Giant neither admits nor denies taking the drugs, but argues the questions asked by prosecutors during a December 2003 grand jury appearance were vague, ambiguous and confusing.
The lawyers said "the questions posed to him by two different prosecutors were frequently imprecise, redundant, overlapping and frequently compound."
Prosecutors asked Bonds several times whether personal trainer Greg Anderson supplied him with steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs beginning in 2000. Bonds answered "no" or "not at all," but his lawyers argued the questions were not clear.
Bonds' lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to toss the case or order prosecutors to streamline the indictment, which cites 19 different instances of Bonds' alleged lying. Bonds, a free agent, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of perjury and one count of obstruction.
Prosecutor Matt Parrella declined comment.
Such motions to dismiss cases are frequently filed, though rarely granted in federal criminal cases.
The court papers do offer an early glimpse at Bonds' legal strategy. Legal experts said prosecutors must prove Bonds lied and that their questions before the grand jury were direct and open to little interpretation.
Bonds' lawyers wrote "some portions of the indictment are so vague that it is simply impossible to be certain what untruths Mr. Bonds is alleged to have uttered."
Former Olympic cyclist Tammy Thomas, also charged with lying about her drug use, similarly argued last year for her case to be dismissed. She said multiple alleged instances of her lying were lumped confusingly into a single charge.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, who's hearing all cases related to the BALCO steroids ring, has not ruled on Thomas' motion.
Illston is scheduled to hear from Bonds' legal team Feb. 29.

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 28, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 4,637 |

A Belgian arms dealer and "known underworld figure" turned himself into authorities today. He admitted supplying several weapons to Amedi Coulibaly which were used in the Paris attacks.
Federal police, who searched the suspect's apartment, found papers linking him to a transaction with Amedy Coulibaly, the jihadist who murdered four Jewish men and held others hostage at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in east Paris on Friday.
According to the local press, the man sold Coulibaly the Skorpion submachine guns he used in the attack, as well as the rocket propelled grenade launcher and the Kalashnikov automatic assault rifles that Said and Cherif Kouachi used to perpetrate the massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo. The weapons were purchased near the Midi railway station in downtown Brussels for less than 5,000 euros, according to the reports.

Just before New Years, I wondered what happened to John Cantlie.
We have the answer. He's still alive. Here is his latest video giving a tour of Mosul, Iraq, which he says is the "absolute heartland" of the Caliphate and home to 2 million people." He says he sees millions of people going about their daily business after years of oppression.
Towards the end, he is driving an ISIS police motorcycle through the streets of Mosul, with a big grin and an ISIS member sitting behind him: [More...]

Shami Witness, the tweeter from India who posted ISIS news updates with favorable comments, went to court yesterday. His police detention is over, and he has been remanded to judicial custody until Jan. 15.
Bengaluru City Police Commissioner M.N. Reddi told reporters: "During interrogation, we figured that he (Biswas) was in direct touch with ISIS fighters. We have gathered evidence to show that he supported IS. Apart from proactively tweeting for the group, his messages prove that he encouraged youths to join the organisation."
The police also said that their investigation into his role in working as a propagandist was complete. "He cooperated during interrogation and never refused to share any information that we sought. We will seek his custody if required in the coming days based on inputs from the National Investigation Agency," a police source said.
Another police source says: [More...]

ISIS has released issue No. 6 of Dabiq Magazine. You can read it here. Shorter version:
The Muslims will continue to defy the kāfir war machine, flanking the crusaders on their own streets and bringing the war back to their own soil.

I wasn't the only one spending hours on Wordpress this week. So was ISIS (or a government agency pretending to be ISIS.) It has a newly remodeled website containing official releases of reports and videos from their various states, in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Algeria, etc. According to the twitter feed for the website, it went live on December 17. (The website is here, but don't click through the entries unless your are prepared to see a lot of violence. I'm writing about it because of the design, not the content. Also, it's in Arabic, so you'll need to use Google translate.)
The site designer chose the Dynamic News theme. There's a free Lite version and a Pro version, and they have the Lite version (no purchase funds to trace.)
The site has an FAQ page. Ir doesn't have comments, but it does have a contact page and they encourage communication, although the form requires an e-mail address. (Maybe it's not really an ISIS creation, but a sting site by some government agency to get information on would be ISIS recruits?)[More...]

Indian police, with the help of Twitter, have now gone through Shami Witness' (Mehdi Masroor Biswas)list of 17,000 plus followers and his tweets. What have they found?
Sources privy to the investigation, meanwhile, admitted that sleuths are yet to find anything incendiary, which involves Mehdi directly. An officer said they haven't come across any tweet in which Mehdi asks for specific acts of terrorism to be committed. "He is more of a cheerleader. He supported ISIS activities, shared messages backing the outfit and egged on the cadres, saying what they were doing was right," he said.
Out of his 17,000 followers, police were interested in about 50 of them. They sent those 50 emails, asking the following questions: [More...]

This is the longer (12 minute) version of CNN's interview with German journalist Juergen Todenhoefer who recently returned from spending 10 days with ISIS in Iraq and Syria. (Here is the 3 minute version I wrote about Monday.)
This longer version is even more compelling. There are also new details on the overweight German fighter who defends slavery and beheadings and tells Todenhoefer ISIS will conquer Europe some day, it's only a matter of time, and that James Foley died because of the U.S. government.
He is 30 year old Christian Emde, who was jailed in Great Britain in 2011 along with 25 year old Richard Baum, for possessing a lot of extremist literature, including the AQAP articles from the issue of Inspire Magazine on how to build a bomb. They were convicted and sentenced, and deported back to Germany in 2012. They both then joined ISIS. Baum blew himself up in a suicide attack weeks ago. [More...]

He says ISIS may represent only 1% of Muslims, but they have the power of a nuclear tsunami. He calls their rise and current status "incredible." CNN in the written text accompanying the video, recounts several of his conversations with ISIS members.

There have been a slew of ISIS videos showing public killings and punishment the past few days. Some take place after prayers when the public areas are already crowded. ISIS is clearly trying to impress upon the public that spying and failure to go along with its rules will result in swift and merciless punishment.
It has been using vehicles with crucifixion crosses attached. The other day it drove through town with a Syrian man alive and attached to the cross. His offense, according to ISIS supporters on Twitter: He had laid out beacons for the Syrian Army showing it where to bomb. ISIS says civilians were killed by the bombs. (SITE says the beacons were laid out to assist the air strikes.) Even though the video does not show the Syrian's execution, I won't post the link. But I will post some screenshots so you get the idea of the size of the crowd it is playing to.

Police in India have obtained a 15 day extension of time to hold Shami Witness (Mehdi Masroor Biswas) as they continue their investigation of him and his Twitter account. They had asked for an additional 25 days. Shami has been allowed to meet with his parents.
Biswas was arrested under Sec 125 of IPC (waging war against the Government of any Asiatic power in alliance or at peace with the Government of India or attempts to wage such war or abetting waging of such war), Sec 18 and 39 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Sec 66 of the Information Technology Act.
India has now moved to have ISIS added to its list of designated terror organizations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. However, the list already included any organizations that were designated terror organizations by the U.N. and ISIS has been designated by the U.N.
ISIS released an official statement explaining Sharia law punishments (also known as Hudud) today. It says it is wants people to be forewarned. It also says it will not be lenient on violators, and has even imposed the punishments, including death, on its own members.
There are 11 punishments. Thanks to Arabic and Islamic affairs expert Pieter van Ostaeyen for publishing the English translation, which was done by Abu Musab. [More...]

India Home Minister Rajnath Singh gave a statement to Parliament about the arrest of Shami Witness yesterday.
"The interrogation of Mehdi Biswas has indicated that his activities were limited to posting and reposting of pro-ISIS (as the IS was previously known) material on his Twitter account and social media sites," the minister said.
...He used to visit prominent IS-related sites, mostly those in the Arabic language, and then used Web-based tools to translate the contents into English and repost the material on his Twitter account, Rajnath told Parliament.
He didn't call Shami a terrorist or jihadist, instead describing him as someone who "interacted with people on social networking sites 'on matters related to jihad'." He portrayed him as more "swagger than substance."
Other senior Indian officials told the Telegraph police would not have arrested Shami but for the media pressure. [More...]

The CTC (Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point) has a new 105 page report on the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL, now known as IS.) The report is called "The Group That Calls Itself a State: Understanding the Evolution and Challenges of the Islamic State" and the full report is available here.
The report examines ISIS' rise, activities, and weaknesses. Shorter version: To defeat ISIS, it's important to look past the brutality and examine its governance record, and highlight the shortcomings in it. There will be no defeat and surrender. The best we can hope for is that after a generation or two, they will become irrelevant.
In case you don't have time to read 105 pages, I'll summarize the report and highlight the parts I found most significant below. [More...]

This article deals with a basic BasePage class to use as the starting point to a "Base Page" for .NET 2.0+ web sites. As a side note, this base page class can be retrofitted to .NET 1.0+ with minimal work, if needed. I initially created it using Visual Studio 2005, and thus left the code as is.
Now onto the specifics of being basic. I built this BasePage as a starting point for any website that I begin to develop. Everyone will have their own philosophical differences about what should be in this page class, but I chose only that which truly fit the functionality I need when starting a project. As the needs arise, I may add more security handling functionality, or region specific code.
The Base Page class has two purposes in life:
After development is complete, and the users begin to flock to your website, there is a slight chance they will encounter an unexpected error (or exception). When that one user (or many users) encounters an error, you may have lost that person forever, or even worse, they may tell all their friends about how this website just doesn't work. Using the BasePage class, you can have a common error handling routine to log this exception (stack trace and anything else needed), and/or notify yourself about the error via e-mail.
Some common practices I use in my global error handling:
You may do more or less for logging exceptions. If you do more, please let me know what you do in addition to that listed above so that I may improve my error handling.
The Base Page class contains several handy wrapper functions for getting information out of the request object. For instance, a request has been made to the following page:
To get the integer values for "left_op" and "right_op", we can code the following:
int left_op = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["left_op"]; int right_op = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["right_op"];
This can be error prone if a malicious user removes the "right_op" value from the querystring. By using the wrapper functions to get the querystring value, we have simplified our code, as well as provide some default values for the missing querystring parameters:
int left_op = GetParmInt("left_op", 0); int right_op = GetParmInt("right_op", 0);
At this point, everyone will have their own opinion on how they should handle missing or malicious querystring parameter values. While this demonstration is not a best fit for every project, the wrapper functions for getting information handle 90%+ of my needs.
The "Get Parameter" wrapper functions check the entire Request parameter collection, searching for the given parameter name with a given precedence:
protected string GetParm(string parm, string defaultvalue) { if (Request.Form[parm] != null && Request.Form[parm].Length > 0) { return Request.Form[parm]; } if (Request.QueryString[parm] != null && Request.QueryString[parm].Length > 0) { return Request.QueryString[parm]; } if (Session[parm] != null && Convert.ToString(Session[parm]).Length > 0) { return Convert.ToString(Session[parm]); } if (Request.Cookies[parm] != null && Request.Cookies[parm].Value.Length > 0) { return Request.Cookies[parm].Value; } return defaultvalue; }
As the last wrapper feature, I will show you how to drop a cookie on the user's computer using only one line of code:
DropCookie("MyCookieKey", "Hello World!");
I hope you will find the Base Page class a good starting point for your website projects. As a note, this Base Page is just that, "A Base Page"; which means it can be tailored to your requirements or left as is.

Environmental Companies Flourish at LEC
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The Lancaster Environment Centre has created and protected over 50 jobs since it was opened a year ago. The business incubation facility at LEC is now home to 23 environmental companies from all over the region who have moved there to benefit from the expertise and support on offer.
One of them is the REACH Centre Ltd, a new consultancy firm established in partnership with the University to exploit the opportunities brought by new European legislation and which continues to add an impressive list of clients to their order book.
Jonathan Lutwyche of The REACH Centre Ltd said: "The REACH Centre would not have been formed without the strategic support provided by LEC and would not be sustainable without the resources made available through locating here. There are tremendous benefits from locating in LEC over other business parks both in terms of the quality of resources the building has to offer but more importantly, in terms of the quality of people which we are able to work with, enabling us to utilise the specialist knowledge that the university can provide."
Each company is assigned a relationship manager who is their point of access to collaborative research within LEC as well as assisting in writing bids for research projects. Once located in the building there is an opportunity to use graduates from the University to conduct short research projects for the companies as well as becoming ERDF Objective-two eligible which allows for greater access to support offered by a variety of organisations in the region.
The companies have moved into LEC from surrounding areas such as Kendal, Preston, Liverpool and Manchester and by locating on site are able to utilise the expertise, support and research made available to them as part of the knowledge transfer programme.
Two new ventures are BEECycle Ltd. and Crowberry Consulting, which have already won a business creation competition held at the University, while larger companies such as Plant Impact plc and Stopford Projects Ltd are now embarking on ambitious programmes of collaborative research with the University.
The first company to take up residency - ADK Environmental Management Ltd. - and the Mouchel Group plc have in the last 12 months forged strong links with a wide range of staff across the Environment Centre. Ethos Solutions Ltd. - the brain child of two former BAE employees looks set for success from the development of their new IT system for chemical safety management and Small World Consulting continues to capitalise on the knowledge within LEC to meet the demand for carbon footprinting and change management in organisations large and small.
With only 6 offices left unoccupied, LEC expects to reach its target level of occupancy early in next year.

I like this product but the thing is you can't use it for bright colors. So then i just use UDPP. But for everyday natural's it's a perfect fit!
This is a good product. It dries to a silky finish and the color is almost a perfect match for me. It's just a little more orange than my skin tone but I don't use it alone so it doesn't have to be a perfect match. The thing I dont like is it makes my eyelids crease. I have rather large eyes and alot of eyelid space and it gives me a crease right in the middle. I fix it by putting the tiniest bit of eye cream on them and its fine. I do like that my eyeshadow lasts alot longer. Overall It is a good product and I will continue to use it with some tweaking.
I use this for EVERY makeover that I do. It keeps colors true, from creasing and fading throughout the day.
It's a good eye base for almost every skincolor. It blends beautifully and dries to a soft poweder finish.
This is a definite HG for me! I use it as a base for all of my eyeshadows, especially my Fyrinnae pigments (because of the slightly sticky consistency). It makes them long lasting, holds the shimmer/glitter without making me look like a disco, and minimizes fall out. Plus, the colors look gorgeous and vibrant, even when applied dry using the patting method. I'm a NW15 and this is a nice match for my skintone. It is just a neutral, slightly rosy shade that is close to my skintone. Applies well, creamy and easy to blend. I like the little screw top jar too.
I really really like this product. I'm fair to med and this is almost a perfect matte match for my eyelids. It's so useful.. on it's own, like a said, it's almost a match but makes your lids look flawless and therefore, you, more awake! It also make a great base for shadows and really helps them stay strong and last hours longer. I bought this for that reason but now that i've been using it - i think i might try some other colors just to use as shadows on their own.
The textrure is smooth and applies very easily with your finger (this warms it and makes it apply evenly.. I just love MAC these days, constantly impressed!
This is my favorite product to use as an eyeshadow base or just to wear alone. It evens out the color of my reddish eyelids, smooths out the skin, and loose pigments adhere quite well. My eyelids are slightly dry. I find it is easy to blend with this as a primer (unlike UDPP which I find interferes with blending). No creasing all day if used as a base. The finish looks convincingly natural when I'm trying to go for the no makeup look.
So I'm rushing to get to the MAC store by eight o'clock, which is when they were closing according to a phone call earlier that day. I couldn't get a park anywhere nearby, so I had to park miles away and RUN to the store. By the time I got there it was five minutes to eight and the glass door was shut. I smiled expectantly through the glass at one of the sales assistants, and she opened the door about an inch and said "we're actually closed." It wasn't even eight o'clock yet! I said "please, can you just let me in to buy one thing? I know exactly what I want." She pursed her lips and with a sour expression opened the door for me. "What did you want?" I had finally decided to buy a MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, and no disapproving sales lady was going to weaken my resolve! She acted like she was doing me a huge favor by allowing me to hand over my hard-earned cash five minutes BEFORE closing time, but with my Painterly Paint Pot safely tucked away in my handbag, I didn't care.
I honestly don't know why it took me so long to get Painterly. I have five other Paint Pots, none of them perfect: Soft Ochre is a little dry in texture, Groundwork is nice but a little boring, Cash Flow is very frosty, Rubenesque doesn't work with some of my more neutral eyeshadows and Quite Natural is too dark to use other than very sparingly. Despite their drawbacks, I love them all, but I think Painterly is going to become my favorite! It is definitely the most versatile of my Paint Pots, and works under just about any eyeshadow. It's true that there's not much color payoff, but I don't mind, as I'm a neutral girl at heart! Love this!
*EDIT* I think I was looking at Painterly with rose-colored glasses after lemming it for so long. Although I love the texture, I wish the color were a little darker, as it tends to make my paler eyeshadows look whitish. I still like it, but perhaps I don't love it.
Standard in my makeup collection as it works great as a primer and base. Repurchased this many, many, many times.
I picked this up for the first time when I heard about it from the Makeup Geek TV on youtube. This is a highly-pigmented matte shadow., which dries pretty quickly. It's a bit darker than NW15...so if you are NW20 or a little darker it should work for you to make a neutral shadow. It's nice to also use in the inner & outer corners of the eyes to mask any bluish discoloration from veins. I just pat it on with my fingertips, very easy to use.
Also - I find it difficult to use as a base, bc it's just too hard to get the next shadow to blend over the top - so I use it by itself.
COLOR: I really wish it were more of an NW15 to brighten up my eye area.
TIP: I also use this over my lips to matte out the natural color and prepare them for liner and lipstick/or gloss. It works very well for that as a type of primer.
This was around $16 or so, and comes in a glass pot with plastic lid.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really wanted to like it! I wanted to use it as a neutral base for matte looks, but it just doesn't work --> it creases after like 2 or 3 hours :-( and i have no idea why!! nothing like my other paintpot rubenesque, which works perfectly and lasts all day long...
really dissapointed by this one!
i've heard that some people also use it on their lips to get a nude look, think I'll try that next...

Hi Debra. Yes, I agree. If anyone in Thomas' family had been killed, especially a woman and infant child, it would have been reported. Thanks for the tip. I'll definately be checking into it. Best regards, Tim Notify Administrator about this message?

The Company has decided to incorporate a fully owned subsidiary, Emaar Malls, which will develop world class shopping malls in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, India and Pakistan. The Company is already fast developing the world's largest shopping destination – the 12 million square feet Dubai Mall – in the Burj Dubai Development in the heart of Downtown Dubai.
His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence said: "The Dubai Mall is shaping up to be an example of what can be achieved in this region and is an iconic symbol of what we could share and replicate here and elsewhere, starting first with the Gulf and South Asian regions."
To successfully penetrate into these markets and accelerate the entry process, Emaar Malls will leverage the strategic international operations that Emaar Properties already has in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, India and Pakistan, besides its home base in the UAE.
Emaar Malls would tap into Emaar Properties' established reputation and depth of experience as a developer and manager for commercial, residential and retail properties in the UAE and internationally.
Speaking at a press conference here today, Emaar Chairman Mohamed Ali Alabbar said: "The malls would benefit the Group in two ways: revenue would come from both real estate development and later on from managing these malls as assets to the Group. Our strategy would be to procure land at competitive prices and then unlock their potential by developing them into retail properties of good real estate value.
"The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent have a combined customer base exceeding two billion, of which half are young people who are increasingly enjoying higher disposable income levels and aspire for a better lifestyle. This will form significantly lucrative catchments for the customer base for Emaar Malls. In addition to good quality housing, people are increasingly looking for a fantastic shopping experience, rivaling that of developed countries. We aim to create this for them.
"The GDP of the countries in the catchments are in excess of $1.7 trillion and the retail sector will be one of the key drivers of growth and development in this region. International studies by renowned consultants such as McKinsey have clearly demonstrated that the retail industry is one of the largest worldwide and growing at a rate of 15 per cent annually. Over 45 per cent of the GDP of any economy is driven by the retail sector," Mr. Alabbar said.
In addition, retail space per capita in the USA is 17 square feet, while in Asia it is 7 square feet and in the MENA region is less than 2 square feet. The Indian subcontinent is a fraction of one square feet. The market thus is ripe for expansion and additional retail space will be a boon for mall developers, retailers and consumers.
"Besides affording the surrounding community with convenience, comfort and leisure enjoyment, shopping malls have the ripple effect of boosting the real estate value of both commercial and residential properties around them. From our experience too, we observe building new retail properties often give economies a shot in the arm by invigorating different industries including construction, property and tourism as well as helping to create new jobs," Mr. Alabbar concluded.
Emaar Malls will fund its retail properties with part of the capital raised from Emaar Properties' recent rights issue. The company is not ruling out other forms of financing besides using its own cash reserves.
Depending on the country and specific to each project, recouping the capital outlay would involve various income streams, including lease and rental fees. Where suitable, Emaar Malls may opt to co-own the retail properties with local partners.

"Arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time." Winston Churchill
"Proclaim Liberty throughout All the land unto All the Inhabitants Thereof." Inscription on the Liberty Bell
The Weekly Winston: Climate Change and Technology Edition
Since we're on the subject of climate change here in recent days, herewith Churchill's musings about climate and technology from his essay "Fifty Years Hence," published in the late 1920s and available now in Thoughts and Adventures. Part of this passage is a tolerably good anticipation of "geoengineering," or "solar radiation management." The discovery and control of such sources of power [such as nuclear] would cause changes in human affairs »
The Weekly Winston: Global Finance Edition
With the Cyprus bailout and the continuing fragility of the Eurozone system tested on an almost daily basis, time to take in some of Sir Winston's greatest hits about finance. This first, from 1926, could be the opening of a daily memo to the European Central Bank (if not our own Federal Reserve): In finance, everything that is agreeable is unsound and everything that is sound is disagreeable. About the »
The Weekly Winston: Democracy and Its Discontents
While we carry on with the favorite pastime of pundits—handwringing about "gridlock" in Washington—let's recur to Churchill's comments on the defects of democracy in his 1931 essay "Fifty Years Hence," which fit the Age of Obama quite well: Democracy as a guide or motive to progress has long been known to be incompetent. None of the legislative assemblies of the great modern states represents in universal suffrage even a fraction »
The Weekly Winston: What good's a Constitution?
A year or two ago Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn sent me a packet of Churchill materials. I'm just getting around to reading them. One of the pieces is Churchill's brilliant August 22, 1936 Collier's essay, "What good's a Constitution?" Looking around online, I find related commentary by Justin Lyons, "Winston Churchill's constitutionalism: A critique of socialism in America." The photocopy of the essay sent to me by Larry highlights »
The Weekly Winston: Obama Boneless Wonder Edition
In honor of the recent Cabinet confirmations of John Kerry, Jack Lew, and Chuck Hagel, it becomes apparent that Churchill's famous remark about Ramsey MacDonald as "the boneless wonder" is for once inadequate to the moment: Obama has installed an entire boneless chicken farm. To do full justice to the complete mediocrity that is Obama's second term, we'll need to roll out the entire repertoire of Churchill's dismissals of MacDonald, »
The Weekly Winston: Immigration Reform Edition
While we follow the spectacle of prospective immigration reform and whether Congress employs various "terminological inexactitudes" (Churchill's term for "lie") to disguise what would be in essence a blanket amnesty, herewith Churchill's remark from 1906 that bears on this point: In dealing with nationalities, nothing is more fatal than a dodge. Wrongs will be forgiven, sufferings and losses will be forgiven or forgotten, battles will be remembered only as they »
The Weekly Winston: Chuck Hagel as Thomas Inskip
The woeful Hagel nomination brings back memories of the 1936 appointment of the "entirely unsuited" (Richard Langworth's phrase) Sir Thomas Inskip to be the Minister for the Coordination of Defense in the British government—a post that everyone thought Churchill should fill. William Manchester pointed out that "a search of The Times files reveals that his only notable public effort had been a successful campaign to suppress revisions of the Anglican »
The Weekly Winston: Painting as a Pastime Edition
We know that George W. Bush is a Churchill fan who, unlike the current occupant of the White House, both welcomed and was honored by the British offer to have the Churchill bust in the Oval Office. We now know from the hacks of Bush's email that he emulates Churchill in other respect—as a painter. The Free Beacon has the details, but if you think the painting nearby of someone »
The Weekly Winston: Iran and "Unregulated Unthinkability"
Chuck Hagel's prevarications in his Senate testimony this week about the prevarications of the Obama Administration's Iran policy brought to mind one of Churchill's characterizations of British government policy about disarmament in the early 1930s—what at other times he described more simply as "mush, slush, and gush." But this 1934 comment comes close to capturing the essence of Obama's own brand of mush, slush, and gush about Iran: It is »
The Weekly Winston: Women in Combat Edition
I doubt Sir Winston would be entirely keen on the proposal to open up combat roles to women in our armed forces. But he would not be surprised it has come to this, as this excerpt from a Strand magazine article in 1938 hints: We take the immunity of women from violence so much for granted that we do not perceive what inroads are being made upon it. These inroads »
The Weekly Winston: Fearful Symmetry Edition
Churchill's description of Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf, written in his World War II memoirs in 1948, includes a comparison with contemporary significance: All was there—the programme of German resurrection, the technique of party propaganda; the plan for combatting Marxism; the concept of the National-Socialist State; the rightful position of Germany at the summit of the world. Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant »
The Weekly Winston: Omnibus Edition
I've been thinking about bureaucracy a bit more than usual the last few days, and hence this remark of Churchill's seems useful in our fiscally challenging times: There is no surer method of economizing and saving money than in the reduction of the number of officials. I bid a 50 percent cut in non-military government agencies. The only downside here is that most federal agencies would become more productive if »
The Weekly Winston: Fiscal Abyss Edition
Now that we're past the "fiscal cliff" (note I didn't say "safely" past), we really ought to try to promote a term that is more accurate to our real predicament, which is much worse. How about "fiscal abyss"? This is the term of art we ought to use as we approach the political sequel to the fiscal cliff, which will come with the expiration of the debt ceiling sometime in »
The Weekly Winston: Fiscal Cliff Edition
Everyone supposes that supply-side economics was a purely American phenomenon, with its antecedents going back to Calvin Coolidge and his tax-cutting Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon and ending up with the Laffer Curve. And of course Ronald Reagan liked to quote John F. Kennedy on the wisdom of income tax rate cuts, much to the consternation of good liberals today. But in fact Churchill was part of the early supply-side revolution, »
The Weekly Winston: Christmas Message Edition
From a broadcast Churchill made from the White House on his visit to FDR in December 1941 a few weeks after Pearl Harbor was attacked: Let the children play and have their night of fun and laughter. Let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the full their unstinted pleasures before we turn again to the stern task and the formidable years that lie »
The Weekly Winston: Public Opinion in American Democracy
This short fragment from volume III of The World Crisis, published in 1927, is worth keeping in mind as we watch the ongoing political fight over the fiscal cliff. (By the way, notice the curious but prescient mistake in this passage.*) The rigid Constitution of the United States, the gigantic scale of its party machinery, the fixed terms for which public officers and representatives are chosen, invest the President with »

We put together this collection of seven giclee prints to create an instant gallery (we found the originals in a Paris flea market); it's especially striking against midnight-blue walls. Our top-selling Allerton furniture proves the power of simplicity in ribbon-stripe mahogany with self-piped cream upholstery. Global Views' Gray Abstract wool rug, dyed by hand, adds a subtle fretwork pattern. Faceted crystals sparkle beneath the Fascination chandelier's drum shade trimmed in chrome-finished metal. The Manhattan console does double-duty as a sideboard; its faux-leather panels and nickel-finish hardware echo the room's tones and finishes. Our Kalena silver-plate/crystal buffet lamp and Margaux Venetian mirror complete the look.

Like I wrote in the description of my Gingham-SummerDress I've made a second, more classy version of the burdastyle magazin dress. For that I altered the passform to make it a little bit more tight in the top and worked it with a zipper in the side like the pattern says. I lined the hole dress with a light brown polytaft. To give the skirt a bit more stand I made my first little petticoat with just two layers. I styled it with just a litlle belt and shoes in the same color. I wore this dress to an after-wedding-party this weekend an plan to wear it again when we will visit opera or theatre.

If you're not familiar with parking at the California Club, it can be a bit confusing.The California Club shares a ramp from the street with the Central Library but they each have their own driveway. Take a look at the photo below. We DO NOT VALIDATE parking at the Central Library, so please make sure you take the correct driveway into the California Club garage!
And what if you get turned away from the California Club garage because it is full?
Have you ever arrived at the California Club for a Friday meeting to be turned away because their garage was full? This happens when we have large meetings.
There is another option for $7.50. Park at 400 S. Flower Street (City National Plaza garage with the big red sign) We have validation cards for the $7.50 rate at registration. DON'T FORGET TO PICK ONE UP!
The Central Library is another option BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE A LIBRARY CARD! Please read their page regarding requirements and rates.
To avoid being turned away at the California Club, arrive early!

Lawry's The Prime Rib Serves Skid Row
Volunteers from Lawry's The Prime Rib of Beverly Hills led by general manager and LA5 member Gina Doyle served a prime rib lunch to nearly 100 men on Skid Row in Los Angeles at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's (SVDPLA) Cardinal Manning Center homeless facility October 21, 2014. Doyle said, "Lawry's being here and being a part of LA5 shows Service Above Self." Doyle met SVDPLA executive director David Fields and public relations & marketing director Chris Sariego, both LA5 members, when Doyle came to serve at SVDPLA on Skid Row during 2014's Paul Harris Lunch.
A special thank you goes to LA5er Erick Weiss of Honeysweet Productions for putting this video together!
