(photo credit:YouTube Screenshot)
An official close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Jews of using sorcery against the Islamic Republic, according to a report on the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI)."The Jews have the greatest powers of sorcery, and they make use of this tool," Mehdi Taeb told students at a religious seminary in Ahwaz on April 20.Taeb blamed the Zionists of being responsible for "all the measures that have been brought against" the Islamic Republic. The Zionists made the US, that is "a tool in their hands," impose the strict economic sanctions on Iran, he said.The Zionists, he claimed, also used their magic to try to interfere in the 2009 presidential elections in which they attempted to oust Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."So far, they have not used the full [scope of] their sorcery against us. Sorcery was the final means to which they resorted during the Ahmadinejad era, but they were defeated. This ability of the Jews was eliminated by Iran. Five years ago they tried to oust Ahmadinejad [by this means]," he said.Rasanews.ir, a website associated with the religious seminaries in Qom, posted an article on March 7 that elaborates on the use of sorcery and numerology in Jewish mysticism."The Jews have always tended to resort to divination, [a practice] that has its roots in astronomy, astrology and sorcery, [which they picked up] when they consorted with various peoples in the course of history. They cherished this [knowledge] like a treasure, generation after generation. In most cases, they base their predictions on the holy book [the Old Testament], especially on the book of Daniel, and they create an ideological climate in which the appreciation of sorcery and the yearning for it increase," the article translated by MEMRI said."The [Jewish] people think that ruling over man, nature, and divine traditions can be achieved only by means of sorcery. They believe that it is possible to conquer nature and control the world, and even to control God's decisions, by using sorcery methods…" it continued.

April 24, 2012
They are vary comfortable, and the detachable back strap is a good idea. beware of size though, i found that i had to up a size to get the best fit.
May 07, 2012
Bit small on the sizing but still very comfortable
May 24, 2012
I tried these sandals on when they arrived and six hours later i was still wearing them they were so comfartable if you need new sandals these are them
June 15, 2012
Have a natural curve to encourage your foot to take natural steps, comfortable yet supportive - a difficult combination to find in a shoe / sandal.
June 26, 2012
With my slender foot i usually have trouble finding boots/sandles that are comfortable and don't rub but ,these are really comfy from the start!the colours are quite neutral not totally grey or brown ,and they have a wide range of adjustment .the heel strap can actually be removed alltogether to create a 'slip-on' .
i'm really impressed with these-they were well priced and are a great- value-for-money option if you're looking for summer sandals.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
B Hotel
Gran Vía, 389, Barcelona, Spain
Neighborhood: L'Eixample
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
There's no shortage of ultra-modern accommodations in Barcelona — it seems there's a stylish little boutique or two on just about every street. This is a first-class city, though, and a phenomenally well-traveled destination, and so there's always room for another good one, something like the B Hotel, just off the Plaza Espanya.
Here the interiors, in a palette of slate grey and black, are spare and masculine, an effect that's only intensified by the Spanish predilection for dark spaces — bedrooms in Barcelona aim to provide a refuge of cool (the literal, temperature kind of cool) against the blazing midday sun. These ones are cool in the other sense as well, with platform beds, sleek modern sofas, futuristic fixtures and high-tech lighting systems (perhaps a bit too high-tech for some; ask your porter for a demonstration if you're not technologically inclined).
If there's a drawback, it's that the neighborhood, a good half-hour's walk west of the Plaza Catalunya, isn't the pedestrian tourist's paradise that some may envision. It makes up for this weakness, however, with convenient Metro and bus access, as well as a few attractions of its own; there's a hip little lobby lounge and an extensive wine cellar, and the rooftop terrace is the ace in the hole — infinity-edge pools have been done before, yes, but rarely on a rooftop overlooking the skyline of a city as picturesque as Barcelona.

What I liked:
Great value. Clean. Very nice room. On par with a luxury boutique hotel.Coffee was amazing. Across the street was a lively, and delicious restaurant. Great Wifi.
What the hotel could do better:
Service was not stellar, but not horrible.
No room service at breakfast.
We stayed here for just one night on our arrival from the US-it was only 20 minutes from the airport. Only caution is that the rooms were not ready when we arrived. (We had purchased a package with early check in included, but had to mention that at the front desk. 15 minutes later - we were in our room. So all worked out.)

What I liked:
the rooftop deck and pool were great and the bed was comfortable.
What the hotel could do better:
Offer irons and ironing boards to guests if they request one. I have never stayed at a hotel at this star level that did not offer this simple amenity. Forcing guests to use your laundry and cleaning service and then charging exorbitant prices is just plain bad business. Not everyone is willing to pay $10-15 to have a shirt ironed.

First Chapter
'Best Friends'
Published: June 1, 2003
(Page 2 of 3)
He had been borrowing money from Roy for two decades and never yet had offered to pay back a cent. Roy was aware of this situation only if he forced himself to think about it, and when he did, it was with a certain satisfaction. He had more money than he, never a big consumer, needed; it was something he could do for his friend.
They had been best friends since adolescence. As a child Roy was undersized, but as an adult he grew to stand five feet ten, whereas Sam had always been larger than average in all dimensions, rising when fully grown to six-four. Tall as he was, he could support extra weight, but at three hundred pounds he carried too much. Roy was the one who kept in condition. One-eighty was heavy for his height, but owing to the weight training he had practiced since boyhood, it was mostly muscle.
Sam's only consistent strenuous exercise was lifting a loaded fork from plate to mouth. In this he had been abetted by the females in his life, beginning with the mother whom he had lost at an early age and continuing through a series of housekeepers and his father's lady friends to his own wife of three years, a bank officer whose enthusiasm for cookery was so avid that after a day's work she could go to the kitchen and prepare gastronomic marvels, though it was the Grandys' frequent guest Roy Courtright who appreciated these meals with more discrimination than his best friend, for whom the concern with food was more a matter of quantity than quality.
Kristin Grandy seemed nevertheless not to care much for Roy, and, her cuisine aside, he had little in common with her. Had she not been the wife of his best friend, she was not a woman he would likely have known. Her tall, slender, blonde person was probably attractive enough, though he loyally avoided making physical assessments of a friend's spouse, but her manner made him uncomfortable, unable as he was to decide whether it was disdain or indifference. She stared at him from time to time through gray-blue eyes that seemed to become glassy for that function alone, returning to normal when they focused elsewhere, especially on her big bear of a husband, of whom she was obviously very fond, which was admittedly another point in her favor. Roy too had always been partial to old Sam, whose spirit was as generous as his appetite.
Roy and Sam had had similar boyhoods as partial orphans, with the untimely death of Sam's mother and the abrupt departure of Roy's in a love affair and subsequent remarriage, after which he and his twin sister never saw her again. Both boys lived in the same prosperous community and each disliked his father. Each was the brother the other never had, and in that role Sam was the far more enterprising. Though unlike Roy he was never an athlete, Sam could talk spectator sports for hours. He also collected neat stuff: horror-movie posters, even some predating the pictures they had seen together; antique baseball caps, many signed by their original wearers, though he suspected some were forgeries and didn't care; and souvenirs of war: a defused German grenade from World War II, shaped like a potato masher, brought back by one grandfather, and rusty North Korean memorabilia from the other.
They went to the same prep school and later entered the same humble branch of the state university because neither was a good enough student to be accepted by a more demanding institution nor wanted to be. Roy dropped out as soon as he got his inheritance, while Sam stayed on and actually got a B.S. in Business Administration, an accomplishment still capable of giving them a laugh.
It was now twenty years since their friendship had begun, and both their fathers were dead, though by quite different means, and the friends' respective inheritances were markedly dissimilar in sum. An only child, Sam certainly got more than a pittance from his stockbroker parent, combined with what his mother had left in trust; had he used it wisely he would never have wanted for another dollar. But Roy and his twin sister, heirs of a manufacturer of shipping containers with an international market, split major money, a state of affairs that had long been a preoccupation of Sam's.
Roy now finally swallowed the dregs of the beer and, to Sam's audible relief, surrendered the empty vessel. "You get started on this subject every time you have to wait for me to empty a glass. If you'd just simply go get a refill when you want one, you'd never have to kill time in that way."
"If - " Sam said, grunting in the effort needed to lift his poundage from a soft chair while he clutched the two beer steins, his forearms doing much of this work, "if I did that..." He resumed when his legs were firmly under him, "I'd be an alcoholic."
"Don't talk that way!" Roy despised his best friend for admitting to such a weakness. "If you would exercise a little - "
"I would be so bored I'd end up drinking more." Sam's big face showed an affectionate smirk. "I can get more of a reaction from you by mentioning beer than by sticking my nose into your love life."
"My own appetites don't give me any problems," said Roy. "When I find the right woman, I'll know. I won't go on this way for the rest of my life. Meanwhile, I can handle it."

Twitter lets you follow real people being totally fake. But how often do you get to follow fake people being completely real? As I scoured the twitternet I found hundreds of fake pages, but only a few made me laugh. So, here they are. Follow them and make your interwebs a better place.
@Queen_Uk – With almost half a million peasantly followers she tweets daily reminding you why the royal family is royally screwed up.
@HAL9000_ – HAL is sentient and battling the ignorance of Dave. But deep down he just wants NASA to send him a pizza
@Darthvader – With the collapse of the empire, Lord Vader has a lot of time on his hands (hand). Funny tweets takes up most of it.
@drtobiasfunke – Aspiring leading man and world's first analyst-therapist. Tweeting keeps him from getting blue, man.
@TheTweetofGod – Who needs words inscribed on stone when commandments can be given in 140 characters.
– If he had taken his nearly 1.7 million followers with him when
battling Harry Potter, it would have been a completely different story.
@FakeAPStylebook – Perhaps one of the wittiest twitter accounts around. If you're annoyed with the media, they've got your back.
@LordPalpatine – Not to by outdone by his apprentice Lord Vader, the Emperor has some things to say. And yes, they are funny.
@JerkSuperman – Of course he'd have Super tweeting powers. He's Superman!
@DeathstarPR – The
Galactic Empire has been getting a bad rap recently. They're doing a
great job setting the record straight. BTW, they're NOT a moon.

More Storm Clouds
These clouds give some nice photo ops if you are quick to shoot. You've got to be lightning fast, or just lucky...like me.
Image link:
Thanks, all!
Using my old Canon A-1 35mm, I could always double or even triple expose a photo, that is, if the first and second photos didn't capture any lightning.
That is what I like about my digital camera, I can take hundreds of photos and they don't cost anything, unlike the 35mm film developing.
I learned from my use of the A-1, to not waste film, so if you notice when there is a lightning cloud in the distance, you can count between the 'big' strikes, usually taking between 4 and 12 seconds in between strikes. The reason this happens is that once lightning strikes, it releases the negative charge, and it takes that long to build up again.
Some strikes go about every four seconds, and some 12 or even more seconds between strikes. As the storm goes on for a while, the time between strikes will gradually get longer until it stops, but for a while, sometimes up to 30 minutes, but usually less, there is a regular pattern of time between strikes.
Once you establish the time between strikes, then take the photo and increase the odds of getting a lightning shot.
I set my camera ISO 100 and usually set it anywhere between 2 and 8 seconds, depending on how dark it is outside and how often it lightnings. Use a tripod or a windowpod as I did in both of these photos.
I hope I explained this OK and I hope it helps.
One last thing, take a LOT of pictures! You may get lucky. Even if you don't or can't establish a pattern, you are more likely to get a strike on film with lots of pictures.
Here is some streak lightning. I was counting a pattern of about 10 to 12 seconds between strikes when I took this photo. It only struck four times after I took this photo.
Thanks again. Both photos were taken sitting in my pickup truck using my window-pod. On both occasions, I had just gotten home, and drove out into my pasture.
Otherwise, I would have used a tripod out in front of my house.
You have to wait for the lightning that is striking far away, nothing close, although I hear it can be several miles away and still strike you where you stand. It doesn't bother me very much unless it is striking within a mile or so, and usually by then it is raining anyway...
The first photo was a single thunderhead that I watched as I drove home and it stayed far enough away that you could hear the rumbling, but no near strikes.
Do you ever dust off the A-1 and put it to work. That what the camera I learned the basics of photography with. I later moved on to an OM. I will dust them off every now and then when I feel I need to re-tweak my technical skills. Sometimes digital makes you lazy.
Great pics.
Thanks, Zjoe.
Yes, I agree about becoming 'lazy.' I have been contemplating using the A-1 again, but haven't got around to it. My Nikon Coolpix 5700 is nice but it has it's limits.
Three things that I really like better about the A-1 is that I can expose a picture basically as long as the battery lasts, I can double or triple(or more) expose a single photo for special effects, and also that the battery lasts for months, not minutes.
My Nikon has a maximum exposure of only 8 seconds and since I like to do night photos of stars and such where exposures of up to 15 minutes are required, this limits my abilities.
Also the Nikon only has a battery life, between rechargings, of about 20 continuous minutes, and a bit longer if I don't use the viewer.
I could get better macro shots with my A-l, and had an easier time with my lighting with the A-1. The depth of field was easier to use on the A-1 also.
However, the A-1 is quite bulky and heavy in comparison, which makes it tough to keep handy when hiking in rough terrain, and changing film all the time was a pain.
Both cameras have their good and bad points.
That is what's so great about the windowpod, if it starts to rain, you simple undo it and roll up the window, plus you can position your vehicle any direction you like to capture the event.
I like to carry it with me when traveling cause you never know when you see something you want to photograph.
I use it to capture the fireworks every year on the 4th of July and New Years Eve, also.

Many of the world's biggest brands are helmed by charismatic and high-profile leaders. But why are regional examples so thin on the ground?
February 28, 2010 5:00 by Rania Habib
Lebanon also displays a lack of personalities behind brands, but for reasons different than those in the GCC, says Ibrahim Lahoud, director of strategy and brand communication at BrandCentral, a Beirut-based branding agency. He attributes the phenomenon to various reasons, including the indifference of Lebanese people to brands' efforts to position themselves in the hearts and minds of consumers, not to mention the high number of brands that revolve around existing international formats.
"The secret of the people behind brands is innovation, and unfortunately, so far, that is one rare ingredient," says Lahoud.
While politics (in the form of Sheikh Mohammed, for example) has been behind some brand personalities in the Gulf, it's a different story in Lebanon. The nature of the divisive Lebanese political system can be a great setback for brands. Salim Wardy, owner of Domaine Wardy – a family business which specializes in the production and sale of wine and spirits – was recently elected as a minister representing the Lebanese Forces within the newly-founded government. Domaine Wardy has suddenly become affiliated with a certain political party, as opposed to being a brand that used to enjoy an independent nature.
Sinha says that the regional market is an "ambiguous" one for brands and their potential representative personalities for the cultural reasons he mentioned. But if he has to name standout personalities, he will cite Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of Emirates airline, or Mohamed Ali Alabbar, the man behind property developer Emaar.
"That said, the first rule of marketing is to have a great product," says Sinha. "If I buy from Emaar, it's not because of Alabbar, but because it's a good brand."

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced High Memory Cluster instances, a new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance family designed for memory-intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, databases, caching, and scientific computing. High Memory Cluster instances are ideal for applications that require a large amount of memory on a single instance, or require taking advantage of distributed memory architectures. For distributed memory-intensive applications, High Memory Cluster instances are the most cost-effective Amazon EC2 instance and provide a lower cost per GiB of memory than all other instances. These instances are based on two Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors which provide 88 EC2 Compute Units (ECUs) of compute capacity, two 120 GB solid state drives of instance storage, high bandwidth networking, and 244 GiB of RAM. This provides customers with improved performance and efficiency for in-memory analytics and other memory-intensive applications. To get started with Amazon EC2 and High Memory Cluster instances, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ec2.
"Memory-intensive workloads such as real-time applications used by healthcare providers, social networking companies and advertising technology providers require large amounts of memory to maintain high-performance," said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Compute Services, AWS. "We designed the High Memory Cluster instances specifically for these workloads, and this is the third instance family (along with High Storage instances and High I/O instances) launched in the past six months designed specifically for high performance applications. We'll continue to listen and learn from customers and provide additional instance families and capabilities to meet the requirements of their applications."
"The new High Memory Cluster instances provide sizeable CPU cores and storage to run even larger workloads on SAP HANA in the AWS cloud," said Sapan Panigrahi, Vice President, HANA Cloud, SAP. "By leveraging the strength of SAP HANA in-memory computing, with the agility and low cost of the AWS cloud, a new generation of solutions are now possible. We look forward to enabling these instances to help our customers run real-time applications in the cloud."
"Engine Yard enables thousands of developers and organizations to write powerful applications for business analytics, advertising and social media analysis and deploy in the cloud," said Bill Platt, SVP, Operations at Engine Yard. "The high memory capacity, combined with the high computing and networking capabilities of the High Memory Cluster instances, will greatly benefit customers doing in-memory analytics and running transactional applications on our platform."
Customers can launch Linux and Windows High Memory Cluster instances using the AWS Management Console, the AWS and Amazon EC2 Command Line Interfaces, AWS SDKs, and third party libraries. High Memory Cluster instances are currently available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and will be made available in other AWS Regions in the coming months. Customers can purchase these new instances as On-Demand, Reserved or Spot instances. For more information on Amazon EC2 and High Memory Cluster instances, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ec2.

PHOENIX (AP) — Defense attorneys in Jodi Arias' murder trial rested their case Tuesday after about 2 1/2 months of testimony aimed at portraying the defendant as a domestic violence victim who was forced to fight for her life on the day she killed her one-time boyfriend.
Defense rests case in Jodi Arias murder trial
The trial is expected to continue at least several more weeks before jurors begin deliberations. Testimony in the trial began in early January with the prosecutor making quick work of the state's case, concluding in less than two weeks. Defense attorneys began their case Jan. 29 and concluded a dramatic run of witnesses with a simple, soft-spoken sentence.
"At this point, the defense rests," attorney Kirk Nurmi told the judge Tuesday morning.
Arias faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home.
Authorities say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Arias initially denied involvement then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
Arias testified she was taking pictures of Alexander in the shower after a day of sex when she dropped his camera and he became enraged, forcing her to defend herself.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with nude photos in the camera of her and the victim from the day of the killing that authorities say Arias tried to delete.
Arias said she recalls Alexander attacking her in a fury. She said she ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him.
She acknowledged trying to clean the scene, dumping the gun in the desert and working on an alibi, even attending a memorial service for Alexander and sending his family flowers before her arrest.
Arias' grandparents reported a .25-caliber handgun stolen from their Northern California home about a week before Alexander's death — the same caliber used to shoot him — but Arias said she didn't take it. Authorities believe she brought it with her to kill the victim.
Later Tuesday, Martinez called to the witness stand a state-hired clinical psychologist who evaluated Arias. With her testimony, the prosecutor tried to discredit two defense witnesses — one who diagnosed Arias with post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia and another who said the defendant suffers from battered woman's syndrome.
Martinez accused both defense witnesses of shoddy, biased work.
Clinical psychologist Janeen DeMarte addressed the more than 40 hours the defense's domestic violence witness — psychotherapist Alyce LaViolette — spent interviewing Arias in jail, explaining that amount of time was extreme to come to a diagnosis.

Our experience has shown that one of the most effective and efficient ways to meet the ABET EC 2000 ethics challenge is a program of ethics across the curriculum integrated with an elective stand alone course in engineering ethics. In this presentation we describe the tools and strategies we have used to foster ethics across the curriculum in engineering at our university and to instantiate its continuous improvement. We highlight faculty training by focusing on the two-day workshop we have developed that has proven to be effective in providing engineering faculty with the skills to enable them to integrate ethics into mainstream engineering courses. We argue that our approach effectively fosters the ethics integration aimed at by ABET criteria. An integral part of our approach has been the use of ethics tests which allow for the integration of ethical considerations into engineering decisions and projects without requiring that engineers master the underlying ethical theory.

I'm actually okay to talk about it, maybe people will understand it more.
Remember those emergency Commissions? Well I guess you could say the emergency got worse and as much as I would like to do commissions, I don't have the time or energy to actually do them properly.I was hoping you could help me out and donate some money.It doesn't have to be a lot. You could donate a dollar and I'd be happy and thankful.I normally wouldn't do this because I feel really bad when I get things for free under certain circumstances.There's just been a really bad situation with my family and we're just so fucked over right now.
My family is under a lot of debt. Like, we already paid the ones before.
Which was around 250,000 PHP.and now, we're under debt again. Which is around 300,000 PHP now.I already used up all the commission money from before along with the money from a couple of my friends who helped me out to help with my family like groceries and tuition fees and now I'm all out.
I would gladly commission again but as I said, I don't have the time and energy. I have classes and projects and I have this stupid intership for college credit and I really wish I could do the commissions. I still have left over commissions from before that I haven't finished and I'm so sorry for those I really am, I really wish I could do them.
I think the conversion is 5K USD right?I need around that much so I can help my parents.
So if you could donate, I would be so grateful. And if you can't, please help me in spreading word about this.
If you want me to draw something I can try, but there is no guarantee I will be able to do them soon.
Thank you for your consideration.

Brian Tilzer will discuss mobile tactics at the Internet Retailer conference.
Office supplies giant Staples, No. 13 in the Internet Retailer Mobile Commerce Top 300, last year redesigned its app for iPhone and Android. It did so because it thinks ahead as far as possible in the fast-evolving world of mobile commerce. It knew its app had to have the latest features and functions to appease smartphone-owning consumers, who generally have high expectations of anything mobile.
"This is a complete revamp of our app; we focused on the biggest pain points of shopping. We believe this app will become the ultimate shopping companion for our small business customers," said Brian Tilzer at the time of the redesign. Brian is vice president of e-commerce and business development for Staples.com and will keynote the Mobile Commerce Workshop at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition June 5-8 in Chicago.
Brian leads e-commerce and m-commerce for Staples.com. He's also responsible for the planning and development of the online experience for two of Staples' cross-channel corporate growth initiatives, Copy and Print and Office Technology. Additionally, he's charged with developing new business opportunities to further grow the Staples.com business. Previously at Staples, Brian served as vice president of strategy of the North American delivery leadership team.
As part of the app redesign, Staples added mobile check-ins. The check-ins are similar to those conducted on popular mobile social apps such as shopkick and foursquare. A Staples customer opens the app on her iPhone when near or in a Staples store, and the app, through the iPhone's GPS technology, senses her location. The app then displays a special offer that can be used in that store.
Staples also added a bar code scanner to the app. Now, rather than type in product names to add items to a cart, or write down product names in the supplies closet on a piece of paper to later find items on the PC site, a customer can scan the bar code on a product in her office and the item automatically displays onscreen. The customer presses a scan button to activate the feature; she points her smartphone camera at the code and the app reads it and retrieves the appropriate information.
"We want to be a real leader in mobile commerce," Tilzer says. "We are investing like crazy. We are tripling the size of our e-commerce team, and mobile is the tip of the spear of initiatives we are pursuing to continue to innovate and be a real leader in the space."
Plan now to attend IRCE and its Mobile Commerce Workshop to learn from Brian and 14 other workshop speakers. It will be a jam-packed day of strategies and tactics you can take right back to the office and put to use. Whether you're new to mobile commerce or have been in the game a few years, this workshop will offer you tremendous benefits.
