Your Dubai holiday
There is archaeological evidence of life in Dubai dating back several thousand years. However, very few documents predate the series of European empires that occupied the territory from the late 18th century.
Britain was the most influential foreign power in Dubai during this period, and in 1892 formalised Dubai's status as a British protectorate. The tax-free model, which remains a pillar of economic policy today, was introduced a few years later and Dubai quickly developed into an important port for international trade.
The turbulent global economy between the two World Wars hit Dubai's lucrative pearling industry and trade partnerships hard. Increased social unrest threatened to bring down the Al-Maktoum dynasty that had ruled since 1833.
However, the discovery of oil in 1966, and the formation of the independent United Arab Emirates in 1971, launched an era of breathtaking expansion and modernisation.
Today, dwindling supplies of the black gold have shifted development projects to the commercial and tourism sectors, with visionary ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum determined to make Dubai a world leader in every sense.
Spectacular, ostentatious, mind-blowing: these are just some of the ways to describe typical Dubai holidays. Indulge in the brazen luxury and VIP entertainment of the world's most extravagant resorts, set on the sun-soaked Persian Gulf coast. Whether you are looking for retail therapy, spa treatment, or fine cuisine, this is a place to pamper yourself.
Record-breaking constructions are popping up all the time, so find a flight to Dubai and explore this man-made miracle in the Arabian Desert.
Dubai has a tropical and arid climate, and the months of June through August are extremely hot and humid, with temperatures reaching as high as 48°C. The coolest month is January, when temperatures average 24°C. If you are interested in outdoor activities, consider planning a visit during the months of September through May. Dubai hosts many annual events, but some of the most popular include the Dubai International Jazz Festival and Dubai Shopping Festival, both held in February, the Dubai World Cup, held on the last Saturday in March, and the Dubai Summer Surprises, held in June through August. Ebookers can help you reserve hotel accommodation for whenever you decide to visit the city.
Bab Al Shams
This desert resort offers customized menus for the perfect romantic dining experience.
Duke's Bar
Located in the Al Khaleej Hotel, the bar has an 80s feel, a friendly staff and inexpensive drinks.
The Black Beach
This is an out-of-the-way, intimate bay that sits on Jumeirah Beach Road between two palaces. It is often deserted, so it makes for a nice private getaway.
Al Quoz's Young Artist Auctions
You can get great art for a fraction of the usual cost at this monthly auction, which features many up-and-coming artists.
Abdul Rahman Isaq Mohd Trading
A store with an eclectic mix of African sculpture, Viking helmets, rusty swords and other items that the owner has been collecting for years.
See the Sights from Above
If the Burj Khalifa isn't high enough, you can get a bird's-eye view of the remarkable city from a sea plane. A 40-minute tour will fly you past all the main coastal attractions, including the audacious collection of man-made islands arranged into a map of the world, as well as the area around Dubai creek.
Take a ride through the Desert
There can't be many better ways to escape the ultra modernity of the city than a trip into the vast, empty Arabian Desert. Ride 100-metre dunes in a sturdy 4-wheel drive; then ride them again on a camel.
Most tours will take guests to a remote village for a barbecued dinner and live entertainment—some offer a night in a campsite, allowing for magnificent views of the stars.
Go Shopping
Dubai's giant, air-conditioned shopping centres are like little cities in themselves. Endless rows of stores, haute-cuisine restaurants, and cinemas are expected in malls these days, but an aquarium (Dubai Mall) and an indoor ski centre (Mall of the Emirates) take things to a whole new level.
For an altogether different kind of retail therapy, try and pick out a bargain in the city's traditional street markets, known as souks. Food lovers will adore the aromas in the Spice Souk, while the Gold Souk offers a dazzling collection of high-end jewellery at unbelievable prices. Haggling is expected and even encouraged—it's a good idea arm yourself with the daily spot price for gold before you set out.
Spend a Day at the Races
The pinnacle of the emirate's blossoming horse-racing calendar is undoubtedly March's Dubai World Cup, the most valuable race meet on the planet. But for something even more exotic, spend an afternoon watching camel races. The normally docile 'ships of the desert' can move surprisingly fast when they need to, and winning beasts are often purchased by the sheiks for vast sums of cash. Races usually take place on Thursdays and Fridays from October to April.
Dubai Museum
The Al-Fahidi fort, built in the 18th century to defend against foreign aggressors, is the perfect setting for a museum offering a glimpse into the city's modest existence before a big oil discovery. A collection of finds from archaeological digs—some dating back to 3,000BC—proves that there was life in Dubai long before skyscrapers. A video presentation charts the staggering transformation from desert town to futuristic metropolis.
Outside the fort, the history lesson continues in the pokey alleyways of the Bastakiya district. Here you can see how wind towers kept houses cool before the advent of air conditioning. The government is making a concerted effort to market the district's cultural credentials, with plenty of restored buildings opening as galleries and museums.
Burj Al Arab
This seven-star hotel (according to its own rating system) is probably the most recognisable landmark in the city. The innovative design—curved like a sail catching a stiff breeze—set the standard for modern development in Dubai. The 780m² gold-plated Royal Suite, complete with private cinema, is probably out of reach for most, but afternoon tea at the 'Skyview bar' is a good place to sample the high life.
Burj Khalifa
Officially the tallest building in the world at over 828 metres, the Burj Khalifa is the undisputed centrepiece of Dubai's impressive skyline. The tower cost an estimated £670million and was named at the last minute after the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who helped save Dubai from bankruptcy during the recent economic crisis. Its 160 stories contain mostly luxury residencies and corporate suites, but the public observation deck on floor 124 offers spectacular panoramic views of the city and beyond.
Jumeriah Mosque
The city's largest mosque is also the only one in the city that non-Muslims can enter, albeit with a registered guide. The mosque's sweeping arcs and proud minarets turn crimson at sunset and then glow golden under soft artificial lights through the night. The organised visits are part of a cultural programme designed to help integrate Dubai's multifarious population with traditional Arabic culture.
Tip * Booking your Tours, Transfers & Airport Parking before you go will save your money & time and ensure a stress free start to your holiday
The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU)
The SMCCU welcomes visitors to learn about the local culture, religion and beliefs in the Arab world.
Wild Wadi Water Park and Wonderland Amusement Park
The amusement park is fun for the entire family and includes rides, games and a water park.
This restaurant and nightclub built entirely out of ice is a unique way to beat the heat.
Dubai Fountains
The fountains are choreographed to music and shoot water as high as 500 feet into the air.
Burj Khalifa
The tallest building in the world, this structure has an observation deck on the 124th floor. It is also home to the Behold Telescope, which allows visitors to view their surroundings in real time or view archived images.
Dubai Creek
Take a stroll on the boardwalks along the creek, which separate Deira to the north from Bur Dubai to the south.
Ski Dubai
Visit the third-largest indoor ski slope in the world. Located inside the Dubai Mall of the Emirates, you can ski and snowboard on 6,000 tons of snow.
Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
Located in the Dubai Mall, this is one of the world's largest aquariums and is home to 33,000 aquatic animals, including sharks, giant catfish, penguins, otters, and piranhas.
Dubai Museum
Using life-size dioramas, the museum depicts daily life in Dubai before the oil strikes.
Bastakia Quarter
Here, in one of the oldest areas in Dubai, you can see historic mosques and some ancient architecture.
The Atlantis hotel is the standout complex on the man-made Palm Jumeirah Island, and not just because of its salmon-pink exterior. Voted 'Best Visitor Attraction' in the 2009 Best In Dubai Awards, the ocean-themed resort specialises in luxury and pleasure. Guests have free access to the exhilarating water park and spectacular underwater city-style aquarium called the Lost Chambers, as well as the opportunity to swim with dolphins.
With 1.2 kilometres of private shoreline and unbeatable views out over the Persian Gulf, the Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina is the place to be for beach lovers. If you can drag yourself out of Westin's trademark 'Heavenly Bed', the resort offers an array of water sports and outdoor activities. Shopaholics (and ski fanatics) will be delighted by the easy access to the giant Mall of the Emirates.
The Jebel Ali hotel's elegant blue marble lobby sets the tone for this elegant five-story resort known as the 'Legend of Dubai'. Golf enthusiasts will want to play a round on the championship-standard 9-hole course, set among 128 acres of gardens and beaches.
Located right in the heart of downtown Dubai, the Moevenpick Hotel and Apartments makes sightseeing easy in the traffic-congested centre. Guests can choose from nine different dining options, ranging from authentic Indian food at Chutneys to Somerset's traditional British pub-grub.
Dubai International Airport, famous for its duty-free shopping, is just 4 kilometres from the city centre. New arrivals at either terminal can easily find a taxi, with fares typically starting at 25AED (£4.50). Special airport buses with extra room for luggage also circle the main corridors in the inner city.
Taxis are well regulated, relatively inexpensive, and generally safe. The government-owned Dubai Taxi Corporation has distinctive cream-coloured vehicles, and offers special pink 'ladies taxis' for added security. All taxis are legally required to have a working meter. If a driver claims the meter is broken, look for another.
Water taxis operate around Dubai creek and the main coastal resorts, with fares starting at around AED50 (£9). A cheaper, and more serene, way to cross the creek is in traditional wooden boats called abras.
Public Transport
The city's bus network is cheap and comprehensive, but rarely used by anyone except low-income workers.
In response to growing traffic congestion, the government is constructing an automatic, driverless metro system. One line is presently operational, with another expected to open in August 2011. The metro is scheduled to be complete by 2015, though delays are possible due to the economic crisis.
All public transport is paid with rechargeable 'Nol' cards, with fares varying according to the distance travelled.
Consider a car hire in Dubai if you value the extra freedom and opportunities you get from having your own vehicle. Just be ready to sit in the occasional queue.
As you might expect, Dubai has a wealth of top-end restaurants serving dishes from all over the world. Bear in mind that restaurants outside of the main hotels in Dubai and resorts are forbidden from serving alcohol, and that opening restrictions will apply during Ramadan.
For a truly decadent dining experience, try the Al Mahara restaurant in the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel. Diners can try exquisite seafood dishes while watching hundreds of live fish through the floor-to-ceiling aquarium window.
Gordon Ramsay brought his fine dining to Dubai in 2001, and Verre (in the Hilton) continues to be one of the city's top restaurants. Michelin-starred head chef Scott Price is now in charge of the kitchen, adding some innovative twists to the world-class menu. As you'd expect in a Ramsay establishment, the service and classy black-and-white decor are impeccable.
The award-winning Fish Basket (Oud Metha) is a great place to sample some of the city's outstanding Lebanese cuisine. Seafood is obviously the main draw here: fish selected from a market-style display will be cooked to order and served with staple sides like hummus and fattoush.
Kabalen (Sheikh Ahmed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Building, Street # 16, Al Karama) is a charming family place serving excellent homemade Filipino food at bargain prices.
Those missing home might want to stop at the London transport–themed Double Decker (Al Murooj Rotana, Sheikh Zayed Road), where British pub staples and international plates mingle on a no-frills menu. Live football and karaoke may not appeal to everyone, but the down-to-earth vibe can be refreshing in ultra-chic Dubai.
Health Precautions
Visitors are not required to take any vaccinations or medication before entering Dubai. The risk of malaria is low, but you should take measures to avoid mosquito bites and always consult a doctor in the event of a fever—even after you return.
Temperatures in summer often rise above 40˚C. Stay out of direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day and be sure to stay well hydrated. Not all water is potable, so stick to mineral water to be safe.
Accident or Emergency
Call 998/999 for an ambulance. Health facilities are generally of a high standard, but quality can vary even between departments in the same establishment. English is invariably spoken in health centres.
Dubai is largely very safe, with little in the way of street crime. However, it is prudent to keep expensive jewellery and electronics out of sight when on the streets—especially at night.
Dubai is one of the most progressive emirates, but be mindful of local laws and customs. Homosexual activity is strictly illegal, as is the possession or consumption of drugs. Women should avoid wearing revealing clothing when outside of tourist resorts and should not walk alone after dark. Alcohol is not served outside of the tourist areas, and drunken behaviour could cause offence.
Road conditions are excellent, though traffic congestion in the centre is a major problem, and drivers can be aggressive. The (often ignored) speed limit is 40–80 km/h in urban areas and 140–160 km/h on motorways.

concrete under tiles on second floor?
ikea_gwJune 19, 2013
Our contractor demoed the bathrooms on the second floor of our house and found 2 layers of floor tiles. This was not a surprise but I was a bit surprised to see 2 inches of concrete with some kind of wire backing underneath the tiles. House was built in 1960. Right now they are working on getting down to the studs because we have major plumbing changes. Anyone seen this before?

Italy's financial police have seized hundreds of archaeological artefacts from an art collector's villa outside Rome.
The property in Lanuvio, south of the capital, contained a vast collection of antiquities, many of which were arranged in display cabinets, the Guardia di Finanza announced on Monday. This "small private museum" included Roman columns, decorated marbles, fragments of mosaics and wall paintings, terracotta and ceramic vases, ornamental friezes and coins. Experts from the archaeological superintendency of the Lazio region have catalogued the full trove. The most valuable artefacts are to be exhibited at two local civic museums in Albano Laziale and Nemi. The raid was part of an investigation into the collector's activity between Rome and Lanuvio, which concluded with four people charged for the illicit possession of cultural heritage and state property. The Italian Mediaset group described the collector as a retired financial manager. It reports that the confiscated objects are together worth at least €150m.

I agree with US Ex-pat Ex-republican.But I would say Mr. Obama has been a politician and he is now a public manager, something very different. As public manager should be a Five Star Manager and his success only will be supported in their abilities as public administrator, someone highly trained to make important decisions every second.
His success must be supported in six basic areas: 1-ethics and transparency throughout his administration, 2-thorough knowledge of each problem to solve, 3-a tactical plan for each issue, 4-have a high-performance team, 5-adequate day to day control for each plan and finally 6-unbeatable relationships and communications with all stakeholders.
The cabinet must speak the same language. I suggest one MBS adapted for public management. All nation problems belong to public and private business and both should consider unifying language and try to speak MBS in their fields.
MBS in Five Star Manager, available at the web
I thought your Editorial was a good fair assessment. I voted for Obama and know he can't walk on water. He is articulate, calm and a good leader. How can I say he is a good leader? Because as you pointed out, he can change, adapt, learn, all the necessary ingredients for a general leading an army against an unknown foe. The current economic climate is a fog that has no known defensive or offensive precedent. Noone could have had the experience to face this but a calm leader will find a way and there are many in the US and the world who are counting on Obama to rise to the occasion. The nay-sayers will always be there whether they are sincerely in disagreement and have their own solutions or those who have not solutions but are merely entrenched opposition party members, disappointed party poopers, or those not honest in their feelings of having a black man as president.
Remember 9/11, USS Cole and the 1993 World Trade Center Attack.
Here are the choices when we are attacked.
1. Ignore it
2. Retailiate
I preferr PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!
There is a reason why "Senators" do not make good Presidents.
They never have to be responsible for their Votes. Senators do not know how to lead. All they ever do is vote and pop off their mouths.
It is a shame that SOME Americans have bought the glamor but it is disasterous to this Country.
Obama talks the talk but does not walk the walk. I find him to be very arrogant.
America was the greatest Country on earth. It is sad to see the take over of our country by those who really do not like FREEDOM.
Anonymous:The recession started in April 2008, just after the Congress went to the Democrats. From Sept. 2001 until April 2008 the American Economy has been in a steady growth, low unemployment and a booming economy.
As far as 9/11 attack; you must have forgotten the 1993 World Trade Center attack and the USS Cole. It's called selective memory. Only Bush caused the terrorist to attack. Futhermore, you will not get any respect from the terrorist by showing weakness. Remember Neville Chamberlin. Hitler loved him.
I got it - the purpose of this article was to get your readers stirred up and to get more hits on your website.
You took a lesson from Bill O'Reilly - anger gets more attention than a rational discussion. FOX versus PBS mentality.
The Economist is becoming the FOX News of news publications. Oh well, whatever sells more magazines and advertising.
Soaking in the bathtub I came across your chart "The Shine"s Off". Charts should clarify data. This one was tailor made to obfuscate the facts.
First, you got a sharper downward line by cutting the bottom 20% off entirely. Then you show "net approval rating" calculated by "percentage approving minus disapproving" This is an utterly absurd way of portraying the numbers, but then if you'd simply displayed a chart showing that Obama's approval rating had declined from 72% to 65% using a bottom line at zero the resulting display wouldn't have been nearly so sexy looking, nor would it have given much support to the stories angle.
The totally distorted quote from "The Audacity of Hope" in last weeks paper mentioned in Richard Lebarons Letter to the Editor this week was far more shameful. Whoever wrote that story should be sacked.
In your business credibility is everything. You may be the most influential newsmagazine in the world now, but if you continue to cynically misrepresent events like this you soon won't be.
Wow, do we see the world differently. Just replace "Obama's" name with "George Bush's" name in your criticisms and I would completely agree with many of you. I understand your frustration - I have felt the same way for 8 long years.
Think about this. During the Bush administration, we had the worst terrorist attack and the worst Depression since the 1930's. I'm sure some of you think 9/11 and the current economic situation are all President Obama's fault!! You think too highly of him - even Obama does not have the ability to change the world in 2 months!!
And consider this. The majority of world citizens agree with the 52% of Americans who voted for President Obama. The other 47% of you disagree with most of the people in the world.
That said, we are a better country for our differing points of view...keep it coming.
Once again your pseudo-rightist's leanings have led you to the wrong conclusion about Obama.No, independent voters still prefer the democrats to the other lot by big margins.
You seem to equate tough 'talk' with resolve. No Sir, Obama is tough when toughness is required.Please try and be less gang ho with all things republican as well as presenting your anonymous writer' opininions as facts may be I will consider renewing my subscription. Thank you
There are many of us in the U.S. who have long thought that President Obama was more of a talker than a doer. Now, his office is "where the buck stops." Blaming the Bush Administration for every failure goes only so far, and then one needs some performance. Cutting out the Republicans in the bailout bills, and allowing the Democrats in Congress to run roughshod over opponents, as they loudly objected to when they perceived it being done to them, is hardly the way to usher in an era of "Change we can believe in." Lets put action where the rhetoric was.
Ronald Reagan! Now there was a man who was not only prepared for it, he was born for the highest office in the land. Of course we all wish Reagan were here to clean up Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd's mess, but the sorry fact of the matter is that Reagan was one in ten billion. What we have in Obama is what he started his career as-- an inner city community organizer. I believe you're right about Obama not doing too much damage overseas, since America's finest and most respected institution, the US Military, has him on a short leash.
The Economist knows Obama's kind only too well. Europe is basically made up of Obamas. The Obamas of this world castigate their most productive citizens of by confiscating their hard earned money and turning it over to dead beats and gutter bums. They build them trains so they don't have to buy their own trucks. They can get sick all they want because doctor's bill are on the house. In fact, I get sick just thinking about it.
With any luck, Gov. Haley Barber of Mississippi or South Carolina's Allen Stanford will rise to the occassion and lead a grass roots movement ending in the impeachment of this truly callow loony liberal.
Interesting opinion. In the case of any leader, the process of action confirms the "inspiration". Inspiration, alone, will not get the job done. In areas where leadership skill, management understanding, and experience developed from actual conditions of institutional interaction is necessary, the President is lacking. This was known from his resume when he ran for President. It is difficult to understand why anyone is surprised at this point. You note that the President has done certain things well in the arena of Foreign Policy. The jury is very much out in that arena; after all, in this arena unilateral action is possible, unlike the domestic sphere. The fumbling that has occurred with Mexico also illustrates how underprepared the President is in spite of the positives you ascribe to his mainly symbolic actions. The G-20 sessions will reflect that with Mr. Obama, the United States is viewed as "one of the group", not the leader of the group, in either substance or tone. That is a major drop from the U.S.'s standing over the last several years, regardless of your Newspaper's view that those years were abysmal and a failure. If that is the starting point, current developments are nothing to crow about and, in fact, are a continuation of the same ineptness noted in the arena of domestic affairs. Being able to think is not the same as being able to do. This President needs to learn how to govern; running for office is not to be confused with the latter. Learning the "hard way" on the job is an even steeper climb for this President since nothing in his experience and work prior to this responsibility compares or can be said to prepare him for the challenge of bringing meaning to his words. Personality and impressions will not carry the day towards accomplishment. Hopefully, the President will learn this quality quickly. Otherwise, he may wonder why he came up so short so fast. Lincolnwashington
So far this administration has been strictly amateur hour. His naive "why can't we all just get along" olive branches to Iran and the "reasonable elements" of the Taliban have led to humiliating rejections. For nothing in return he showed the Eastern Europeans he'd sell them out in a nanosecond to suck up to the Russians. The only good thing is that he's at least realized he doesn't want to be the guy that throws away the hard won and costly victory in Iraq.
Domestically it's been a similar comedy of errors. He's let Nancy Pelosi craft major bills that made him look like an idiot, signing the kind of earmark laden bills he'd vowed to reject. Moreover, he's committed to the cabon emission hoax and has proposed penalties for emitters that in the end will be a massive tax increase on American consumers. His spending proposals in just over a year add more to the national debt than 8 years of the profigate Bush who had 2 wars-and that's accepting unrealistically rosy projections on the economy.
This is what we've elected: A personally decent and very likable man who has maximized his gift at communication. He is neither knowledgeable nor exceptionally bright. What he is, along with the majority of his party, is a big government, central planning, European style quasi-socialist driven to impose that agenda. With the Republican opposition leaderless and in disarray, he might succeed.
President Obama has shown more than the required amount of leadership qualities. Many of his choices for top positions have, however, stood back from assuming responsibility of office. This is because the current difficult economic situation does not lend itself to the development of a political career. This does not reflect on him but on the general lack of nerve of American public servants.
People must have a memory akin to that of a gnat. Do you remember pre-obama USA? the one where bush started 2 wars, against general advisement. (how much did that cost?). He was slow to act with Katrina (how much did that cost?). Oh yes, and he voted every time against protections that would have detected or at least envisioned this catastrpohic world financial downturn.
Even his cronies knew when to jump ship.
So, its been a little over three months, and Obama has the same approval rating as W? Why? Because we are not all driving fancier cars and our 401Ks have not tripled yet? Give me a break. There are two parties in amaerica, progression(which is not scientific nor engineered, some eggs will be broken, but it moves us from the present) and standing still. The Republicans wrote the book on standing still. Every attempt to gain Republican help, has meant a great deal of backroom BS. Democrats, now that they have returned to power have not helped the situation much for Obama, but once Franken gets in, this should help on not requiring mawkish stick in the muds from the right. I think, and it is only my thought mind you, is that Obama is merely going through the efforts of the designs of what he has told he will deliver.
If you were constructing a house, would you just tell the developer to start building and I will tell you if you are right or wrong? No, a plan would be made. Where was the plan when W was in office?
Answer that, and answer the fiscal irresponsibility on behalf of that man, and now that his "party" is over, we are left to pick up the pieces, clean up his mess, and pay the bill.
Everything W was in charge of went bankrupt or backward... and just as you cannot blame to CEOs and managers who tried to fix things after he left his former companies, you cannot judge this man too quickly. This is simply history repeating...
Our hardest gripe that we must overcome is the two-sided society that we're dealing with. This two-sided society reflects two kinds of American: those who are stubborn and those who are arrogant. Arrogance and those who are stubborn do not mesh well in healthy relationships, and they aren't going to work here.
Well, I would say that the economist needs to do a bit more research.
They say he can't keep control of his party. So what? Many hated the fact that the Republicans were a rubber stamp for Bush.
I hope that Congress and the president have different opinions. But on the point that, "They are pushing pro-trade-union legislation (notably a measure to get rid of secret ballots) even though he doesn't want them to do so"
Not true. Obama selected a pro-EFCA labor secretary, and he has said if the legislation passes, he will sign it.
Also, when talking about working with Republicans, what is the Economist talking about? Obama had more meetings with them in the first month than Bush had with Democrats during his whole presidency?!?!?!?
And they adjusted the legislation for the stimulus by putting more tax cuts in it for them. Then what do they do, only 3 vote for it.
The only conclusion that I think that any reasonable observer can make is that the Republicans simply don't want to work with him or democrats, but they sure do want to make sure rich people pay less in taxes. That's simply all they care about.
The stimulus has in fact no earmarks. Plus, if pork is defined as bringing home the bacon to one's district, how does paying for highway upgrades in Oklahoma, when the Oklahoma representatives didn't write it, didn't make an earmark, and didn't vote for it????? So Democrats were writing pork for Republican districts?
The Omnibus bill did have pork (Dem and Rep), but that was written before Obama got elected, back in Sept. or Aug.
As for Republicans, I say screw them. Cut them off. Why doesn't the economist write about the unwillingness of Republicans to work with him?
In fact most Americans overwhelmingly see this as the actual truth of the matter.
And about the Treasury posts, I agree with them, but they are forgetting to mention a hard fact about some of these nominations.
If you want to try to fill posts for the Treasury, you need people from the financial sector. Well, I'm sure everyone that is available for these posts can 1. make more in the private sector, or 2. come from a company that is under a lot of scrutiny, or 3. they did something themselves that would be under lots of scrutiny. And that scrutiny will come from both parties. That's why it's been so hard for Obama to find people.
Anyway, I think it's a pretty tough piece on him, but not completely fair and accurate. I think he needs to kick more butt and call the Republicans more often on their bullcrap, but then he wouldn't exactly be post-partisan. He kinda put himself in a catch-22. Otherwise, I think he's doing quite well with a mountain of problems, laid by the previous guys.
He would show real leadership if he asked his advisers the following questions.
Who should create the money supply? Should it be created as debt or debt-free?
1. Who decreed that 21st-century societies must depend for their supply of money on banks creating it for their own profit? Not God; no Faith scriptures teach it. Not Nature; winds, tides, plants, trees, animals - none use money. Humans made this system work as it does. Intelligent humans can reform it.
2. Most of the money now used in the international economy is money created as debt in the currency of one country, the US dollar. In national economies most of the money now used is created by commercial banks as debt, written into their customers' accounts as loans. (In the UK, for example, less than 5% is created as coins and banknotes by public agencies, and over 95% by commercial banks.) Central banks try to use changes in interest rates to control how much money the banks create.
3. It isn't effective. All the ninety recent credit booms and busts in various parts of the world have taken a similar form. The banks have hugely profited by creating too much money in the booms, and have then received huge bail-outs in the busts in order to reactivate their privilege of providing the money supply.
4. The conventional response to the present crisis is now combining a massive increase in future debt with new top-heavy regulation in order to reactivate the banks' privilege again. These features of the new "financial architecture" ignore what first-year students of architecture know: make sure the foundations are sound before you construct extensions to the upper floors and overload them with heavy burdens. The foundations of "financial architecture" are, of course, money and how it is created.
5. International monetary reform has now been proposed by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to replace the US dollar with a more genuinely international currency administered by an international authority.
6.National monetary reform must follow that model. It should include:
1) normalising "quantitative easing" by transferring responsibility to a nationalised central bank to create the debt-free additions to the national money supply which it judges to be in the public interest;
2) requiring the central bank to give the money to the government to be spent into circulation under normal democratic budgetary procedures;
3) making it a crime, like forging coins and counterfeiting banknotes, for anyone other than the central bank to create bank-account money; and
4) denationalising recently nationalised commercial banks to compete unsubsidised in the market for borrowing and lending existing money.
7. For practical details, including safeguards against governments misusing the central bank's new function for their own political purposes, see
http://www.monetary.org/ (American Monetary Institute) and
http://www.jamesrobertson.com/newsletter.htm Newsletter 22 and links (UK).
To all those who think this article is being unfair to the new President, you should read the other one in Briefing -
Barack Obama's progress: Coming down to earth.
Compared to that mumbling piece, this one is quite calm and level-headed. Of course, the man can not please everyone even if he tried. He's bound to be criticized, probably by everyone, supporters and detractors alike. That's just how it is. But let's not forget the big picture. His presidency should be evaluated on whether he's able to take the country onto the right path for the next generation or two, like FDR did. Will the US become a more equitable place, more responsible for her own citizens and their long-term welfare, and more responsible environmentally? Those are a few of the things he should be judged on, in my opinion.
President Obama is doing exactly what his history, writing and speech indicated...but few read or listened. Anyone who reads the history of the 20th Century will note the striking parallels to the personality and career of Benito Musolinni. Musolinni was educated, articulate, a prolific writer and almost beloved not only by the Italians but a majority of leaders in Europe and the United States. Obama, by his own written claims is a social and judicial activist bent on changing American culture, economics and politics. While he and his followers decry the pain suffered by people of the USA, if pushed all of them, as committed "progressives" will note that the pain is worthwhile because the utopia at the other end will be like entering heaven. This well meaning historical road has been traveled many times...always with the same bad end.

UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U//FOUO) Potential for Unaffiliated Individuals to Conduct Retaliatory Attacks in the Homeland Following the Death of Usama Bin Ladin 9 May 2011 (U) Scope (U//FOUO) This Joint Intelligence Bulletin provides law enforcement and public and private sector officials with information for consideration in the wake of the death of Usama bin Ladin. This information is provided to support the activities of DHS and FBI and to help federal, state, and local government counterterrorism and law enforcement officials deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks directed against the United States. IA-0 -11 (U) Warning: This joint DHS/FBI document is UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U//FOUO). It is subject to release restrictions as detailed in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 482) and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). It is to be controlled, stored, handled, transmitted, distributed, and disposed of in accordance with DHS and FBI policy for FOUO information and is not to be released to the public, media, or other personnel who do not have an authorized need-to-know without appropriate prior authorization. (U) Warning: This product may contain U.S. person information that has been deemed necessary for the intended recipient to understand, assess, or act on the information provided. U.S. person information is highlighted with the label USPER and should be protected in accordance with constitutional requirements and all federal and state privacy and civil liberties laws. UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U) Key Findings (U//FOUO) The death of Usama bin Ladin could inspire violent extremist followers to conduct retaliatory attacks in the Homeland. We are particularly concerned that lone offenders—who are unburdened by organizational constraints that can slow operational decisions by established terrorist groups—could attempt a near-term attack using simple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) or small arms tactics against easily accessible, low security targets.* (U//FOUO) At this time there are no credible threats or reporting to indicate the active planning of such an attack. Due to the high operational security and unsophisticated tactics, lone-offender attacks are difficult for law enforcement to detect through existing tripwires and deter. (U//FOUO) Potential for Retaliatory Attacks by Lone Offenders (U//FOUO) We assess the death of al-Qa'ida leader Usama bin Ladin is likely to provide motivation for Homeland attacks—particularly from likeminded, ideologically focused lone offenders using available small arms or simply constructed IEDs against familiar, low security targets, requiring only minimal preparation. We assess that the threat from lone offenders is the most likely near-term threat in the wake of Bin Ladin's death since they are unburdened by organizational constraints that can slow operational decisions by established terrorist groups. In a 6 May statement, al-Qa ida said the soldiers of Islam in groups and as individuals will continue to plot and plan attacks until they succeed. However, we have no credible information to suggest that a specifically targeted plot is underway. (U//FOUO) Over the last year al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula's English-language magazine, Inspire, and various al-Qa'ida-affiliated spokesmen have indicated that attacks launched by individual followers of al-Qa'ida's ideology can have a significant impact. Those lone offenders unaffiliated with al-Qa'ida, but inspired to retaliate, could be motivated to heed the repeated calls for followers to conduct relatively simple, individualized attacks like the attack allegedly conducted by Major Nidal HasanUSPER at Fort Hood on 5 November 2009. (U//FOUO) Previous Attacks Demonstrate the Threat from Lone Offenders (U//FOUO) Previous attacks in the United States and on U.S. interests overseas demonstrate the potential danger, lethality, and effectiveness of lone offenders with little or no training. — (U) On 1 June 2009 Carlos BledsoeUSPER, a Muslim convert, drove onto the parking lot of a U.S. Army/Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas, and allegedly opened fire on two soldiers, killing one and wounding the other. * (U//FOUO) For the purpose of this Joint Intelligence Bulletin, we define a "lone offender" as an individual who commits terrorist acts alone and without direction from a group or another individual. The perpetrator may have contact with others, but those other individuals are not aware of the perpetrator's plans or intentions. UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 2 of 4 UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY — (U) On 5 November 2009, Major Nidal HasanUSPER allegedly opened fire at the Fort Hood military installation's Readiness Center in Killeen, Texas, killing 13 and wounding 32. — (U) On 2 March 2011, a lone gunman boarded a U.S. Air Force bus at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany and opened fire, killing the bus driver and one of the 15 airmen who were on their way to Ramstein Air Base before they deployed to Afghanistan. The alleged shooter, apprehended by the German police shortly after the assault, has online ties to other individuals with known violent extremist views. (U//FOUO) An extended planning cycle is not required to conduct these types of attacks. The perpetrators rarely reveal their specific intentions in advance, providing fewer opportunities for law enforcement to identify them and disrupt attacks before they occur. (U) Lone Offenders (U//FOUO) Lone offenders have a lower security signature due to the fact that they are not formally affiliated with a known violent extremist group, organization, or movement, and thus enjoy relative anonymity and are able to evade law enforcement scrutiny during the preoperational phase. (U//FOUO) In many cases, lone offenders may have been formally or loosely affiliated with a recognized violent extremist organization or movement at one time, but separated from the group due to ideological or operational differences (e.g., because the lone offender's views became notably more extreme than those of the group, or because the group was unwilling to support the level of violent tactics the individual deemed necessary to achieve objectives). (U//FOUO) Importance of Suspicious Activity Reporting (U//FOUO) We face an increased challenge in detecting terrorist plots underway by individuals or small groups acting quickly and independently or with only tenuous ties to foreign handlers. Given that pre-operational indicators are likely to be difficult to detect, state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners play a critical role in identifying and reporting suspicious activities and raising the awareness of federal counterterrorism officials. (U//FOUO) Understanding the terrorist attack planning cycle can help law enforcement and others responsible for securing infrastructure assets recognize pre-operational activities. Although lone offenders and small teams preparing attacks in the United States do not necessarily follow the typical attack planning steps, law enforcement and security personnel should remain vigilant for indicators of attack preparations. (U//FOUO) We encourage reporting of suspicious activity to appropriate authorities and encourage our homeland security, military, and law enforcement partners to remain vigilant. UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 3 of 4 UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U) Reporting Notice (U) DHS and the FBI encourage recipients of this document to report information concerning suspicious or criminal activity to the local FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the State and Major Urban Area Fusion Center.

Rare First Temple period seal found in Jerusalem3. November 2008 - 8:24
A rare Hebrew seal from the First Temple period, discovered in archaeological excavations in the Western Wall plaza, west of the Temple Mount, will be presented to the public today. An image of a warrior shooting an arrow is depicted on the seal, which belonged to a Hebrew person by the name of Hagab. The owner of the seal probably held a military position, possibly that of army commander of the Kingdom of Judah .
Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin - first priest of the Russian Orthodox Church in history to visit Saudi Arabia30. October 2008 - 7:28
Deputy Head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin became the first priest of the Russian Orthodox Church in history to visit Saudi Arabia.

"Russia and the Islamic world have a lot in common. We are intermingled: Russia is inseparable from the Islamic world, as many millions of Moslems live there, and the Islamic world is inseparable from the Russian and Orthodox world which members live in so many Moslem countries," the priest said addressing the forum.

Aly's Bat Mitzvah was an over the top affair at the Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, New Jersey. We created a concept video to be shown after the cocktail hour and right before Aly was introduced into the room. The basic premise of the concept video was that Aly starts out worrying what kind of Bat Mitzvah her parents are going to throw for her. The 2nd half of the video is her dream, what she would like her Bat Mitzvah to be like. The exceptionally talented Kris King did the vocals for the 2nd half of the video, singing the satire we created from the song Copacabana. Enjoy all!!

"So essentially, it's the same trends they've been talking about for the last 10 years," says chef and restaurateur Colby Garrelts of Bluestem and Rye. "It's ridiculous. The problem is that the media has so over-hyped every new culinary trend that they're old before they get to be a trend."
Beth Barden, chef-owner of the Succotash bruncheonette, says the 2014 trends list "is so tired, it's like saying the 1980s are back. What on this list is really a trend? I think anyone who is ethically responsible already knows that there's a movement for locally sourced meat, produce and seafood. Why should making it a trend give it more value?"

Privately Built Antares Test Flight Successfully Launched From Virginia 85
from the space-man-just-think-of-it dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I like this:
Antares also carried three coffee cup-size Phonesat satellites - called Alexander, Graham and Bell - into orbit as part of a space technology experiment for NASA's Ames Research Center in California. The tiny 4-inch-wide satellites use commercial smartphones as their main computers.
I believe Aerojet licensed the *design* and built new, somewhat modernized engines.
Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.

Frozen pipes encased in slab
The water lines to the laundry room in the back of my house are encased in the foundation slab. They come up an exterior wall to inside spigots that connect with hoses to the washer.
I kept the room quite warm last night, which should have kept the vertical pipes from freezing, but the cold water line isn't producing any water. I've removed the washing machine hoses, and nothing is coming from that spigot.
I can wait it out until the outside temps warm up, but should I be worried about damage to the line encased in the slab? How do you know whether anything's wrong?
Any time you freeze lines you need to be concerned about damage. In a slab, often you won't know anything is wrong until the leak is relatively large. Keep an eye on it, looking for moisture, mold, excessive water use (if you have a meter).
Oh my gosh! You have my word,if a pipe froze,it is between the slab and "spigot".
As to whether damage was done,maybe. How do you know there is a leak without being able to inspect pipe inside wall? Make certain all facuets and toilets are not dripping then open water meter lid and clean face of meter. Return to closest facuet and open it to a small stream/spray. Go to meter and look for a moving needle or wheel. Turn facuet back off. Watch the needle/wheel for 5 minutes for movement. Movement means water is going some where. Watch the floor behind washer and foundation outside for water. How long have you lived here? Has this happened before? Was tempature record low for your area? Have you replaced facuets,toilets and water lines as a diy in the passed?
Thanks for the advice. I will have to buy a water meter key so I can access the meter.
I have owned the house for three years but this is the first prolonged bitter cold weather we have had. It is possible this has happened before - I am only aware of it because I tried to use the washing machine. It's possible the water in this pipe has been freezing and defrosting all along.
If the problem is with the pipe above the slab, I'm surprised that heating the room really well didn't prevent freezing. And why did the cold water line freeze and not the hot? It's not like the hot water is being run - the washer won't run without the cold tap working.
I don't DIY plumbing, except very minor toilet tank repairs.
Your pipe is highly unlikely to be leaking. For the moment I am unable to locate my favorite reference on the subject but the link below summarizes it rather well.Some find the study of this material to be tedious -- but so is replacing burst pipes.
Read and understand this article.
For example, after understanding this article, one can see that simply shutting off the main and opening all the faucets will prevent most pipe bursting in unheated buildings if it is done before freezing begins.
