When it comes to downhole geology, little things matter. Those "things" would include the realm of microseismic measurements, because as unconventional plays and hydraulic fracturing become the norm throughout the industry, the need for microseismic imaging grows in importance. Companies large and small are constantly developing, testing and using this technology, hoping to add value to today's efforts.
The idea of using lasers for drilling into the earth has long been to the oil and gas industry what flying cars and hoverboards are to the general public – the stuff of science fiction and futuristic fantasy. As 2015 fast approaches (contrary to what we were promised in the "Back to the Future" movies) we haven't quite cracked the code yet on flying cars and hoverboards, but there might be a consolation prize in the works: Laser drilling may actually become a reality.
What's new in downhole geology, you ask? According to the advertising and press releases that are sent throughout the media, there's a lot that's new – more, in fact, than we could ever cover. But since this is our annual Downhole Geology issue, we thought we'd take a look at some of the latest advancements in drilling, well-logging and other downhole innovations rolled out in recent months by a few industry heavy-hitters.
After many months of harnessing mind-bending ideas, a Houston-based team of engineers, geologists and geophysicists has developed technology to monitor hydraulic fractures from the surface and wellbore simultaneously. Adding multiple dimensions to the monitoring process, they say, allows operators to more clearly understand drainage patterns of hydrocarbons in shale reservoirs and, more importantly, know with greater certainty where to drill the next well, how to optimize completions and maximize asset value.
Pumps & Pipes brings together the newest technologies from the oil and gas, medical and aerospace professions in Houston to talk about something they all have in common: Problems. More specifically, members talk about problems because someone else in the room – from a completely different discipline and expertise – may already have found an effective solution.
In the age of 3-D seismic and digitized well logs, the value of cores and other rock samples may not be obvious. But benefits like those noted by the AAPG in 1948 and described in a 2002 National Research Council report and a recent congressional hearing continue to demonstrate the value of properly archived subsurface samples and data.
The call for abstracts has been issued for the next Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, which will be held July 20-22 in San Antonio.
At first glance it seems there's not much overtly new about drilling in the Mississippi Lime – or overtly new about the Mississippi Lime play, either, for that matter – a play that oozes from northern Oklahoma through southern Kansas (and some say, perhaps, to Nebraska).
AAPG Ethics lecture: Hydraulic Fracturing and Earthquakes. Ethically, how do we move forward and do the right thing?
Geoscientists, petrophysicists, engineers, and managers who are seeking to improve their effectiveness in exploring, appraising, and developing shale reservoirs will learn critical geoscience and engineering aspects to help quantify uncertainty to help book more reserves.
Here is an introduction to the tools and techniques that geologists and geophysicists use to locate gas and oil, that drillers use to drill the wells and that petroleum engineers use to test and complete the wells and produce the gas and oil. Exercises throughout the course provide practical experience in well log correlation, contouring, interpretation of surface and subsurface, contoured maps, seismic interpretation, well log interpretation, and decline curve analysis.
Geomechanics – in both completions and drilling operations – has become a critical technology in the development of Unconventional Plays. This course presents the basics of oil field geomechanics and its application to unconventional developments; specifically, the role of stress, pore pressure, mechanical properties, and natural fractures on hydraulic fracturing operations.
Effective hydraulic fracture stimulation is critical for shale development, and microseismic is the only technology able to map the growth of these hydraulic fracture networks.
This study will focus in the combination of λρ – μρ inversion with clustering analysis techniques in order to discriminate brittle zones in the Barnett Shale.
The goal of this e-symposium is to provide an overview of the latest trends and technologies for water management for oil and gas drilling, completions, and production.
There are more approximately 1,000 oil and gas fields in the world that have been classified as "giant," containing more than 500 million barrels of recoverable oil and /or 3 trillion cubic feet of gas.
The presentation will discuss key reservoir information and how to develop a predictive pressure model.
This presentation describes a proven workflow that uses a standard narrow azimuth 3D seismic, conventional logs, image logs and core data to build five key reservoir properties required for an optimal development of shale plays.
Unger Field, discovered in1955, has produced 8.6 million barrels of oil from a thinly (several ft) bedded, locally cherty dolomite containing vuggy and intercrystalline porosity.
This e-symposium will focus on how surface geochemical surveys and Downhole Geochemical Imaging technologies can be utilized jointly to directly characterize the composition of hydrocarbons vertically through the prospect section.
This presentation will look at well placement vertically in the pay, well azimuth and well trajectory with explanations of how geology and post-depositional effects can make the difference between a successful well and a failure.
This talk will present a brief overview of proppants followed by a comprehensive discussion of the major considerations that are driving proppant selection in these plays.
The goal of this e-symposium is to review an important dimension in the ways geologist can build and update geological models using information from performance data.
This presentation discusses one operator's approach to fully integrate data captured in the Marcellus Shale in order to optimize horizontal well performance.
This e-symposium provides highlights of the hydraulic fracturing mechanics, analysis, and design, and is derived from a two and one-half (2-1/2) day course which is designed for drilling, completion, production engineers, engineering technicians, geologists, well-site and completion supervisors, and managers, who desire to possess a comprehensive and integral knowledge of Hydraulic Fracturing.
The Niobrara Petroleum System of the U.S. Rocky Mountain Region is a major tight petroleum resource play.
The Mississippian-Devonian Bakken Petroleum System of the Williston Basin is characterized by low-porosity and permeability reservoirs, organic-rich source rocks, and regional hydrocarbon charge.
This e-symposium covers how to conduct an interdisciplinary evaluation of mature fields to determine the best approach to recover remaining reserves.
The presentation will focus on hydraulic fracture geometry in shales, the materials used in the fracturing process, and treatment monitoring via microseismic.
This presentation will show where there are cases of missing sections, but none of them can be attributed to normal faulting.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to describe geomechanics in shale reservoirs and discuss differences between plays.

But you asked a good question: How does one get a response from someone else on this site? I'll give an honest answer, not sugar coated, about getting women to communicate with you.
1. Create an online presence that establishes you are open and safe to communicate with. Many women are very hesitant to "cold" communicate with a man. If women can see a bit more of who you are and how you deal with people, then they will likely feel more assured that you are (or are not) a gentleman. How do you do this? Post in the forums, be in the chat rooms. Pray in the prayer room. Attend events. Get to know the men and women in the community, not just the isolated women you are interested in. Completely fill out your profile. Post several pictures of you with variety.
2. Write properly. In the online media this is critical. Words, spelling, punctuation, and grammar convey a lot to the reader. It might not seem fair, but it is true. We make a lot of conclusions based on what we read, second only to the photos we see. Disjointed and improper writing conveys (right or wrong)aprs on who is such. Women (probably men, too) will fear and avoid that.
3. Pursue but don't hunt. I know-- subtle difference, but this is important for many women. Women want to feel treasured and desired, but not like a piece of meat. Take your time to get to know her and appreciate the all of her, not just her pretty face or beautiful body. Sometimes when men "hunt" the women feel objectified, and that is a major turn off! It makes many of us feel threatened.
4. Be patient. Be open. God's timing and plan is perfect!
5. Pray. Put God at the center of your dating and relationship efforts. And keep Him there! The most beautiful relationship you can have with a woman will be with God in the center.
I wish you well in your search, Sir Jaime.
I'm sorry to hear you are haved bad experiences. I would have to agree with what Dawn said. If a guy's profile doesn't say much or they don't use proper grammer I usually don't look twice at the guy. If they sound like a good, interesting person in their profile I will give them a shot.
I hope you meet the person God has planned for you and enjoy the time you spend searching.
I'm not sure exactly how to answer that question because it varies by individual. If you have been on this site long enough, then you have had expereinces on here about lack of responses, etc, etc. That makes up at least 10% of all threads in "Single Liiving" in some form or another What I do suggest is to use proper grammar in communications. When I see a woman with poor writing skills, it is a turn off and dont even bother. I hope you don't take offense. Just thought I'd throw it out because how you communicate can say a lot about you.
I would not use the word "Judging" but rather Preferences. Everyone has them even you, and most of us, probably without knowing it make decisions everyday based on those preferences such as where we eat, shop, who we hang out with, call often etc.etc.. It's based on what you have learned over time, and what you feel comfortable with. We just have to respect what each other prefers, and remember that what we want in another person often may be what we ourselves are or aspire to be. Hang in there, be positive, and always keep striving to be the best person you can be.
Hugs Jaime!! I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don't. I don't really have a clue why some people respond and others don't. I am still trying to figure this entire thing out myself. As for me, I've sort of decided to participate in the forums, where at least sometimes, I can engage with others, without the overall cloud of matching. I haven't really scanned profiles, other than the ones that pop up every so many days in my search thing. And, the viewed me or the match thing. Which brings a question, if someone views your profile should you say hi?? I don't know, as it seems to me, if they viewed the profile and had wanted to say something they would have done so, but you read the top of the page and it says something like these people viewed your profile and were interested in knowing more. . .but it isn't like there is a button on the screen that says I viewed you and would like to know more about you, maybe they just viewed your profile in passing?? I don't know lol.
A lot of I don't knows in this message, which I know is not very helpful. One thing I do know, do not and I really mean this, do not assume you are getting no response because someone thinks you are ugly, that is an assumption that just breeds negative feelings and makes you feel bad and may be the furthest thing from the truth. All of us can go there and none of us should. I know more easily said than done.
External beauty is a shell that may or may not reflect the true beauty of a person, which comes from inside period. And, has absolutely nothing to do with the worth and dignity of a person. Cultivate charity, dignity, kindness, a fine mind, a giving heart and a grateful, joyous soul and that will radiate through and transforms everything about you and around you.
Life is exquisite. Embrace it, contemplate it, cherish it, contribute to it and share it in any way possible.
Two thoughts.
First, I can't speak for everyone but I think it would be safe to assume many of us feel this way one time or another. This online thing is not easy. I feel many men my age overlook me because I am not young enough or thin enough ect. It seems to me that people want perfection when it comes to looks. Are you approaching women who look like "real" woman and not the fantasy women the media has deemed as beautiful? I read on a profile once (but not here) "if you are not drop dead gorgeous, don't bother contacting me". Sad but true.
Second, God is guiding you Jamie, but you need to keep yourself exposed so you and right woman can find each other. If the women are not responding, that means she's not the one so don't lament but keep on moving forward. Don't give up. Keep hitting that send button to as many women as possible and the right one will repond if you are meant to find someone here.

Although he never yields, Bond remains the safest investment.
What the honk, Le Chiffre was a French Communist who went bust when the government of France outlawed whorehouses.
At least so say those who prefer books.
If Jaws had slain the London Whale, it could have prevented major losses at JP Morgan, but alas, Dimon's are Forever.
a james bond slapping the libors bandit and other fraudulent bankers would be very welcomed.
Agreed...In fact I like his no nonsense attitude and simple solutions. When he had problems he didn't kick the can down the road he dealt with them immediately and with methods that he knew worked. None of this "I'm going to strap you in this chair slowly moving on a conveyor towards those lasers, and by the way I am not going to stick around to make sure you actually die". Nope...just a broken wicker chair and a rope with a large knot on the end (I walked bowlegged for a week after watching that one). Sometimes the old ways just work the best....
Indeed! I'm with ashbird. This is why I am ready to slog through bogsinfinitum of China bashing etc Etc ETC waiting for you, dear old TE, to put this copy in your little shop window. THIS is the kinda stuff you need to be flogging to the world (including China, big market there, you know, and coming in with some new management too. Might be a match made in/under Heaven if you try again and play your cards right. Just leave the plastic bags at home, K?) from a/your win-win pulpit. No one else can do it RIGHT NOW. (So teach it others all, no?) And onto our real problem throughout history: Poor quality & unstable (Le Chiffre-type) leadership. How did we SO clever Westerners leap from Trajan / Hadrian / Antoninus Pius / Marcus Aurelius to Commodus, then (WE, ahem) kill Pertinax, to give ourselves Didius Julianus who, (obviously) presented us with Severus of whom your very own E. Gibbon wrote: "…as the principal author of the decline of the Roman Empire"?
Just a thought. Steady on Bond vigilantes.
May be this is why Mi6 is advertsing in the economist
This is a great article although I can easily imagine that the whole thing was written for the purposes of the 'Bond Vigilantes' punchline.
Lets not miss the important role of Vesper.
As a British Treasury agent she applies strict austerity measures when Bond loses for the first time against Le Chiffre. Toughly anti-keynesian she doesn't let Bond buy another entry to the game with government money.
Fortunately, the CIA agent offers Bond limitless funds to go for Le Chiffre. A sort of quantitative easing against which no poker master can win.
Simply, Brilliant!!! Terse, apropos and renders coups de grâce for the Sisyphean actions foisted upon people and countries by the brinkmanship of a few on both sides of the Atlantic for the past 3 to 4 years.
Well... off to the new Bond movie to see which miscreant whose incongruous behavior shades more light on part of our society....hmmmm?
well the US can always print money and all countries will accept them... but for how long...I would suspect as long as another currency becomes as trustworthy as the dollar...
trustworthy, dollar in the same sentence!
Sorry guys, great article, but you are about four months too late on this topic. It's already been covered.
How the Recession Hurts James Bond Villains - Closes Secret Underwater Lab
The economist stealing my ideas -) The government has been stealing my ideas or may be its just that most things are kinda ovious-) Both articls mention james bond yes, other than that i dont see a great deal of similarity
just being cheeky - don't actually think they stole my ideas; also just enjoyed that the economist wrote a similar article on the economics of bond villains.
"What we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable….Black Swan logic makes what you don't know far more relevant than what you do know."
~Nassim Nicholas Taleb - The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
what does this mean?"Black Swan logic makes what you don't know far more relevant than what you do know"
We know what we know, we know what we don't know and we don't know what we don't know and that's is what we need to know:)
But seriously, it sounds illogical at first, but in practical terms it means that you need to account for big unpredictable events. Risk Managers for long time used historical performance as an indicator of risk for future investments. But such models don't take into account those "Black Swan" events. Risk Managers would make provisions for probable loss on particular investment or group of investment, but who makes provisions for situation when particular supposedly low-risk investment takes down the whole company or industry?
If we can identify what it is that we don't know, and make an effort to ask the kind of questions that will lead to the knowing, half the battle in all of humanity is won, be it about Nature, international finance, or why your mother-in-law drives you crazy. Actually 51%.
Most of the time, people insist they know already everything there is to be known, and "bully" you with it. Yes, bully. An example is they cite an apriori uncontestable authority, be it Keynes or Pope or themselves. Thereafter, nothing in substance can be discussed because no algorithm exists in that kind of mind to process any information that is other than what they have in their unenlargeable coffer. There is a line, thin but distinct, between faith and delusion. Faith takes humanity to new heights. Delusion plunges it to new lows.
This article is good in that it cleverly succeeds (I think) in making a little bit of a headway in penetrating that kind of bully mind. Just a little. Delusion is the hardest thing to change. Human history is replete with evidence.
thank you fou your replay,but my English is very poor,so I can not communicate with you :)
thank you for you replay,but my English is very poor,so I can not communicate with you :)
As a top agent in His Majesty's service, Jon Corzine has a license to steal.
A less British, more appropriate analogy would be the new Andrew Dominik/Brad Pitt film Killing Them Softly, in which the heist of a mob controlled poker game is treated as a microcosm of the 2008 financial crisis.
Without claiming I have read every single article in every single one of the 21 TE blogs since the start of 2012 - clearly I haven't - I vote this the best TE blog post of the year. Intelligent, instructive, suffused with wit and British humor. This on the eve of the American Thanksigiving Day. What else can one ask for?
Agreed :)
Glad you did. Thanks for posting your thought! I believe other posters have said much the same in different words. :)
You summed it up pretty well
That's a compliment. Thank you. :)
"What else can one ask for?"
How about a partridge in a pear tree, in anticipation for the upcoming Christmas season? :P
Likewise to you and your family!
And unlike the crisis, where governments introduced huge swathes of legislation which will increase regulatory costs exponentially, thus rewarding bankers with bigger empires; 007 simply tracks down and eliminates the root cause of crisis - the people who caused it.
Ah, if only there was such justice...
Back in 2008, I did advocate for either mass Seppuku or Defenestrations for those people in Wall Street... I think 007 would prefer defenestrations...
Of course you would assume that a man allegedly as intelligent as this one would have realized that someone making a major profit off of the 9/11 attacks (as the movie suggest Le Chiffre did) would quickly get the attention of the intelligence community. For all his bragging to his warlord clients, Chiffre was just a vain, self-important man with some talent for making quick money but not sustainable profits and he was stupid enough to think that his knowledge would give him permanent immunity from anything, even the murder of agents.
However I have to wonder what this article is doing in here, and not something more related to the arts.
Nothing is forever, even lousy economy. It is about time for rosy one
'M' should swap jobs with Mervyn King. Not only would there be a cunning plan to rescue the economy--the world could also find peace while the military stagnates in a liquidity trap.
Bond vigilantes? And confidence fairies. James saves the free worlds financial system but the public service union takes him to task for flouting Health & Safety. Cuts mean he has to drive a Vauxhall astra & get his suits from Topshop. His pension worthless.
Maybe time to set up as a private consultant. Or join the City dole queue. Time to start counting the Moneypennies.

Now that really came as a surprise - Morsi and his party is not trying to implement a western-style democracy in Egypt.
They are called Islamist for a reason. Sometimes one just wonders about western journalists.
It is very saddening to witness an otherwise "spring revolution" being now turned into yet another autocratic islamic regime in the region. Church and state must be separated, citizens must be free to choose their religion, to decide on their spiritual beliefs. This is a real tragedy for millions of egypt minorities, women, gay, secular who expected changes and modernity, more freedom and openness, but are now afraid that the country will turn into an islamic state and we all know what that really means.
"being now turned into yet another autocratic islamic regime in the region"
Sorry but have Morsi and his followers ever been unclear about their intentions? Or is it just people like you who permanently misunderstand the political movements of these countries?
Years of social and economic oppression have left rural and urban populations divided on governmental change and what matters. Some cling to old ways and what's known because of the uncertainty change brings. The strong and insightful Egyptians must still remain vigilant, suspicious and determined to see a liberal society convincing all others of the benefits. To relax now and put down the flags of protests would be to ignore all those that have died for this cause. http://www.electrogsm.pl this is not democracy we support only our chosen way. If anyone can walk his one way with justice should let him go
I agree that Egyptians must remain skeptical and vigilant, however, this is not the way. You can't go out and destroy half of your country every time you don't agree with something. The new government has been elected. Now give them their four years to run the country. If you don't like it, then vote them out in four years. That's democracy, not burning down cars and stores just because you don't agree with something.
tzatzin reply to omar IbrahimDec 29th, 20:03 is worthy of serious consideration.
For it is not only as usually are his responses: disconnected unsubstantiated quasi hysterical responses based on the slogans of some fringe movements and some lunatics EXTRAPOLATED with all the bad will into representing Islam and Islamism.
BUT is a truly panic-stricken response that deals with that weakest link in the Zionist/Israeli war-expansionist front: the presumption that Israel and Zionism stand for and represent the West in the Middle East: a crumbling presumption daily belied by events and opinions by and in the WEST.
Zionism/Israel did actually take the WEST for a ride that did bear some fruit for some time.
But no more as helplessly blinded and short sighted as it used to be for the WEST has come to realize that:
A-Zionism/Israel is neither after nor for a "safe haven/homeland for the JEWS but are really after a regional super power with racist domineering and expansionist ambitions and designs; a real threat to regional and world peace
B-That Western interests are gravely hampered by such an alliance that would unnecessarily antagonize the billion plus Arab/Moslem world and is actually turning to be counterproductive
C-That such an alliance is not only failing to bring in the promised benefits BUT is gravely violating the most basic universal values cherished by the West;( for the latter all you have to do Tzatz is look at the prevalent anti Israel direction of comments in that bastion of Zionism : The New York Times and here at The Economist.)
The WEST knows when to advance and when to retreat; now it is in the reconsideration almost neutral phase soon it will take the inevitable decision.
Tzatz THINGS ARE ACHANGING.
A. The Jewish People in Israel have never been safer! Witness the last encounter with that paragon of Islamism … Hamas. After only a short interlude … Hamas 'gave up' their 'resistance' after getting pounded and being embarrassed in their 'lousy' attempts at harming the Jewish State. The fact is you've acknowledged that Israel is a regional Super Power … thanks for noticing. BTW … this Super Power consists of 7 MILLION PEOPLE … against how many Arabs?
B. The Arabs? Who gives a shit what the Arabs think … and using the word 'think' when dealing with the Arabs is a misnomer. The West's interests are based on expanding liberal democratic societies … of which the Arab/Muslim world has NONE … ZIP … NADA That will take another century or more … in the meantime … keep your head down!
C. NYT & the Economist? Look Omar … it's not about being popular with Arabs or for that matter with the balance of the world … Jews aren't that popular … well maybe in Hollywood … but we aren't looking for popularity. We're looking at growing the Jewish State and raising another generation that will take Israel to the 'next level' … in science, technology, math et al That's why Israel will continue to 'punch' way above its weight.
You'll have to give in … you and the Arab/Muslims … because Israel isn't going anywhere … NEVER AGAIN … they will continue to defend their state and their people with 'extreme prejudice' against their enemies. Don't attack and you won't be attacked. That's as basic as it gets! Learn that or die trying … it's pretty simple! See I made it easy for you! LOL
If this sort of verbiage makes you happy tzatz that is OK by me....really
I enjoy your self indulgence while you ignore what is going on!
You concede that most of the comments at the NY Times and here at The Economist have been witnessing an almost drastic shift from pro Israel to anti Israel. Good.
These comments reflect the opinions of what could be safely perceived as the cream of concerned readers and of the more knowledgeable readers of two major Western media; as such I contend they are the precursors of the general shift in Western public opinion that will ultimately dictate the future policies of the WEST!
If that is not important to you....you just increase my happiness!
Recourse to the "hatred of Jews" syndrome does not help you not anymore any way; actually it is a clue of the oncoming general bankruptcy of the Zionist/Israeli public appeal and I guess it elicits more contempt and incites more revulsion than you think!
People in the WEST know better now what Zionism and Israel really are and what both are all about.
May that be as it is,Israelis posters of tzatz type are palindrome.
Consider birth of Israel under UNO resolutions Palestinian never benefited as citizens of remnant land that was not real Palestine in historical terms.
As of now ,in 2012 things are harder to reconcile for Palestinians.They are made to live in ghettos for sixty years,Herr Adolf Hitler was kinder to the industrial Jews who help built him ovens with gas rooms...
Thanks for caring. LOL
The Arab/Muslim World is on 'permanent' display these past 2 years on the TV screens of the world.
We understand your society … cloaked in Islam … dripping with hatred of the 'other' … clannish … primitive … tribal … sectarian … unable to cope with modernity
It's clear to ANY citizen of the free WESTERN World what a 'black hole' the Arab/Muslim Middle East really is. Leaders willing to kill THOUSANDS OF INNOCENTS … BOMBING CHILDREN … LYNCHING 'ENEMIES' … all this on the TV for all to see.
Jews/Zionists/Israelis … will never be popular or loved by a majority of mankind … that's OK … it's not a popularity contest … not when there are ONLY 13.5 MILLION JEWS IN TOTAL ON PLANET EARTH … it's an unreasonable demand.
What Jews/Zionists/Israelis do demand is JUSTICE … to be left alone with the threat of violence … in their sovereign state … the reality is they have been harassed since 1948 by Arab/Muslims … and continue to be harassed. This has caused much discomfort for Arab/Muslims who would have liked to kill … maim … eradicate the Jews/Zionists/Israelis living in the Jewish State. Too bad!
Your ilk … will continue to remain the 'bottom-feeders' on Planet Earth until you can accept living with a sovereign Jewish State. Can't do that … then you'll continue to eat 'lead' for breakfast/lunch/dinner. That's what's on the menu. Enjoy. LOL
You said: "Consider birth of Israel … Palestinian never benefited as citizens of remnant land …"
Wake up sleepy head! That was 1948. It's 2013 in the next few hours! LOL
BTW … the 'remnant land' after 1948 and up until 1967 was in the hands of EGYPT (controlling the Gaza Strip) and JORDAN (annexing the West Bank) …
Confused? Don't know your history? Didn't stay in school like your mommy said to do? Oops … you didn't go to school? OK … continue to drive taxis or open a falafel stand … that's OK too!
Just don't spout out your 'FRACTURED FAIRYTALES' version of history! YOUR OWN ARAB/MUSLIM LEADERS/STATES screwed you over. SAME OLD SAME OLD. Just like they're doing TODAY.
Ignoring the past makes you REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN. That's the definition of STUPIDITY.
BTW … what's your address?
In the EU … YOU'D BE CHARGED FOR A HATE CRIME … comparing Jews as Nazis! In your world … it's ok … I understand … but the rest of the world has something called MORALITY. We live by a code of honour. Something you'll need to address when Arab/Muslims join the rest of humanity sometime in the coming centuries. Until then … the rest of us will have to continue to 'hold our noses'.
You said: "… Zionism and Israel really are and what both are all about …"
Well what is Zionism and Israel really all about Omar? Do you have a clue?
Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish People. Zion is … Jerusalem/Israel … don't take my word for it … read the Bible? Israel is THE Jewish State … nothing more nothing less.
So … what's YOUR beef? There are no hidden agendas … no conspiracy theories … nothing up the sleeves!
The people of the West KNOW that the Jewish People only want what other People want … their own sovereign state … and the RIGHT to live in PEACE AND SECURITY. They will DEFEND their right to PEACE AND SECURITY … with EXTREME PREJUDICE against those that would threaten them.
That threat currently emanates from the Arab/Muslim World … with the disintegration/implosion of Syria … a new threat looms … jihadis on the Golan border … many of them have pledged to move on from Damascus to Jerusalem … this 'problem' is not only Israel's issue … since the Syrian People would certainly suffer from Israel's response to attack. Haven't the Syrian People suffered enough already? The Islamists will continue the suffering IF AND WHEN they attack Israel. Let your cousins know Omar … this would be a 'very bad' idea.
Here's a quote from today's newspaper:
"The London-based newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported Tuesday that al-Aryan estimated that the State of Israel will be wiped out within a decade."
So … the deputy chairman of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD … let his mouth say what his heart believes … 'wipe Israel from the map' within 10 YEARS. Hmm … I hope to be around for that 'scumbag' al-Aryan to eat his words! He'll be crying over the lost 'brothers and sisters' he condemned to death in pursuit of his ISLAMIST AGENDA.
That's the point! Islamism/Political Islam will lead to the 'mother of confrontations' between the West and the Arab/Muslim World … the first step is 'the Little Satan'/Israel BUT THE BIGGER PRIZE is 'the Big Satan'/THE USA
Make no mistake … this is the CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS … predicted by S. Huntington … the internal clashes are taking place presently within the Arab/Muslim World … putting the pieces together for the eventual civilizational clash. It's not like I'm happy about it … but I trust the outcome will be a 'happy' one for the 'good guys' … the liberal democratic West at the expense of the Islamist Arab/Muslim World. Just like in the 'cowboy' movies of my youth … you can tell the good guys from the bad guys … (PS - THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS LOSE … IN THE END)
Maybe Tarantino will do a picture of it - 'MOHAMMED UNHINGED' … the story of a backwards, angry people who cannot cope with modernity … they seek to bring the world down to their primitive level only to be wiped out in the finale … 'a real' … 'good versus evil story' … with an 'old fashioned' ending.
THE REALITY about ZIONISM and ISRAEL:
As a matter of unchallengeable historical facts Zionism /Israel are about:
RE Zionism
1-The desire to colonize a land and establish a Jewish state in a land whose total Jewish population was some 10% of total population versus 80% Arab against the will of its indigenous population
2-colluding with British colonialism to:
a- Undertake and launch a demographic invasion of Palestine to make the less than 10% Jewish population of Palestine into some 32% with unfounded national claim on the land despite the vibrant and constant opposition of 80% of the Palestinian people to Jewish colonialist ALIEN emigration
b-to deny the indigenous population of Palestine their inalienable right of SELF DETERMINATION
c- to raise train and arm a virtual standing army (the Haganah) while Palestinians were executed by hanging for the mere possession of a fire arm
3-Colluding with western powers to establish in Palestine an advanced Western colonialist/imperialist armed base from which to dominate the Middle East
4-Harbouring and gradually implementing a territorial EXPANSIONIST plan
5-Harbouring and gradually implementing an ETHNIC CLEANSING plan to Judaise the whole of Palestine; that has come to the fore recently
ALL (inter alia) to establish a nuclear armed Jewish regional super power that monopolizes nuclear armament to dominate the region ( the real enjeu of the Israel/Iran nuclear conflict)
AS to Israel:
1-militarily occupying some 26% of Palestinian land BEYOND its UNGA land allocation; that 26% is some 45 % of Palestinian state to be land allocation by UNGA Partition of Palestine resolution.
2-Consistently denying to implement UNGA resolutions re facilitating and allowing Palestinians to exercise their RIGHT of RETURN to homes and home land(and assassinating the international mediator appointed for execution of the mission : Lord Folke Bernadotte in the process)
3-Partaking and actively participating in the neocolonialist Anglo French attempted conquest of Egypt in 1956.
4-Expanding into and annexing both de jure (Jerusalem and surrounding) and de facto (Settlements and the Wall) of Palestinian lands after 1967
5-Expanding into and de facto annexation of the Syrian Golan
6-Implementing a consistent policy of ETHNIC CLEANSING of the indigenous populations of Israeli occupoed lands ( both Palestinians and Syrians)by recurrent deportation of civilians and continued denial of Right of Return to Palestinian refugees post both 1948 and 1967 wars
7-Implementing a policy of:
a-Collective punishment against Palestinians civilians under its domination
b- Murderous assassination for political considerations of actual and potential opponents and presumed security risks
c-Holding without trial nor due process of law of thousands of Palestinians political prisoners including women and children
8-Denying Palestinians under its domination ( some 5.5-6 millions in toto versus 6.5-7 Jews) of their right to common organized political expression and a state of their own in their own homeland now ruled over by Aliens and descendants of Aliens.
To sum up (in a horrible saga of aggression against and denial of basic human rights of the indigenous Palestinian people) Israel is the brain child and political outgrowth of Zionism an aggressive plundering and racist doctrine that came to be through THE DISLOCATION DISPOSSESSETION DISFRANCHISEMENT and SUBJUGATION of an indigenous people from and in his own homeland and SUPPLANTING them with ALIENS chosen according to strict racist criterion of being Jewish.( Re Aliens: according to Israeli records 70% of Jews partaking in the first Israeli "Parliamentary" elections were FOREIGN BORN as were 41 of the 43 signatories to its "Declaration of Independence")
That is Zionism and Israel as briefly as could be in reality and in history.
You said: "To sum up … That is Zionism and Israel as briefly as could be in reality and in history"
You have created and continue to write a 'Fractured Fairytales' version of history. The ONLY issue is … there's real information available … and anyone willing to invest the time … can refute each and every one of your 'claims' …
I will do is the following … to sum up the 'real' TRUTH.
There NEVER existed a country called Palestine … ergo … there never were Palestinians … yes Arab/Muslims WERE indigenous to the area … but that was a technicality … the ENTIRE Arab/Muslim Middle East … was under the control of the Ottoman Empire until the end of Word War I … it was the Ottomans who denied the Jewish People the right to immigrate … (AND DENIED THE ARAB/MUSLIMS SOVEREIGNTY) BUT after the Ottomans LOST their territories as a result of the Peace Treaty after WWI … the British were granted the MANDATE over Palestine by the Great Powers … the Mandate had embedded in its MISSSION STATEMENT … the BALFOUR DECLARATION – ALLOWING FOR THE CREATION OF A JEWISH HOMELAND … the Great Powers in 'their' wisdom granted the other peoples of the Arab/Muslim Middle East independence … but for the Mandate for Palestine … THEY OPTED FOR THE RECONSTITUTION OF THE JEWISH HOMELAND ON THEIR ANCESTRAL PATRIMONY … that was the Prime Directive. The fact that Jews were allowed to immigrate in great numbers to Palestine was a function of fulfilling the PRIME DIRECTIVE.
To be clear … the Arab/Muslims NEVER had sovereignty of the land … they NEVER owned most of the territory … they NEVER were displaced since they NEVER HAD TITLE to a sovereign state! Factually … they were 'serfs' in the Ottoman Empire …
When the BRITISH offered to Partition the land in 1937 between Arabs and Jews … the JEWS said YES and the ARABS said NO
When the UNITED NATIONS offered to Partition the land in 1947 between Arabs and Jews … the JEWS said YES and the ARABS said NO
That's the HISTORY that needs to be repeated … Partition, that is, a COMPROMISE POSITION has ALWAYS been acceptable to the Jews and NEVER been accepted by the Arab/Muslims
The Arab/Muslims continue to insist on the maximal position … NO JEWISH STATE
Ask … Dr. Essam el-Erian, a senior Muslim Brotherhood official and adviser to the Egyptian president, said yesterday that … "Israel will be destroyed within a decade"
Ask … the Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual guide, Mohammed Badie, who made the following statement: "The Jews have dominated the land, spread corruption on earth, spilled the blood of believers and in their actions profaned holy places. Zionists only understand the language of force and will not relent without duress. This will happen only through holy jihad."
The land was not only to be partitioned. Millions of Europeans were to also be moved from their homeland to the newly created state of Israel. The rest of your post is true. There was no Palestinian nation, in the sense that there was an Egypt or Syria. However, there were inhabitants living there already, and just because they did not have an official nation with borders, does not mean it's ok to force them to agree to a plan devised by people living thousands of miles away from them.
A hodge podge of outright lies fabrications fantasies outgrowths of wishful thinking sick imagination AND a shameless unabashed attempt at deception and exploitation of the incomplete knowledge of the non informed and the non involved!
The land is there for all to see under which ever geographical ATLAS one would refer to or Encyclopedia including the Britannica one would consult and has been there since time immemorial and has been universally known as PALESTINE in all non Jewish books dating as far back as the sixth-seventh century AD.
As the "center" of the old world it has been crisscrossed by all kinds of imperial armies and dwelt in by a diversity of "people/nations" including Jews for some 4-5 discontinued centuries mainly pre AD and for some time post AD and by ARABS CONTINUOUSLY AND UNINTERUPTEDLY since the sixth century AD up to modern times ie at most some 500 years some 1800 years back Jewish versus a minimum of 1500 years Arab of continued uninterrupted history up to modern times
As is only normal according to the rule that 1+1=2 and logical to most humans its inhabitants have been known as Palestinians.
These have been predominantly ARAB (both Moslems and Christians) since the sixth century AD and have remained Arab (both nationally and culturally) ever since; there is now some 5-6 millions of them still living in and inhabiting in their homeland
Up to the early twentieth century Palestine has been part of and its inhabitants have been full citizens of the successive Arab and Moslem Empires that have ruled over Palestine.
The national diversity of the successive Empires ( Seljuk; Mamluk;Ottoman etc) did NOT change their national/cultural identity which remained Arab as evidenced by the prevalence of Arabic language as the lingua franca of the land throughout.
Zionist-Jewish/Western colonialist-imperialist collusion led to promising the land to ALIENS and the eventual establishment of a colony of ALIEN colonialist and the racist state presently known as Israel.
The land was promised to ALIENS by Western powers desiring to have an advanced base in the region DESPITE the fact that it was neither vacant nor deserted but duly cultivated constructed in and dwelt in/inhabited CONTINUOUSLY and UNINTERUPTEDLY by its ARAB population of some 1500 years duration as its major demographic national/cultural ( never racist)component; they are called Palestinians in reference to the location much as some Americans are also known as Texans!
For the rest I gladly note that you have DISPUTED none of the specific facts and figures I have mentioned and with this tacit acceptance and total inability to challenge any of ALL the facts and other characterization I have noted I refer our exchange to the neutral reader seeking facts and true as distinct from fancied HISTORY.
Well said Bringbackthegoldstandard!
Palestinian Arabs were FULL citizensf in the the successive
Arab and Moslem empires that ruled over the land; in the latest Arab Palestine had two representatives in the Ottoman Majliss!
Being part of an empire is being a nation in a multi nation political/administrative setup much as Hungary was still is though at one time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
THAT does not negate the intrinsic identity of the community comcerned nor nullifies and deprives it of its basic human civil and political rights in its homeland NOR relegate it to a community of "disposables"

Egyptian people voted Morsi and granted referendum. so world should respect their decision/opinion. may be it is fundamental truly Islamic. this is not democracy we support only our chosen way. If anyone can walk his one way with justice should let him go. Everyone should observe morsi by the way of justice not by ideology.
Elected with only 10% of the vote, when it was widely assumed to be a mere talking shop that would be abolished by the new constitution, 83% of its members are Islamists, a far higher proportion than they would win in a fair election today.
Wait until the Islamists learn more about democracy,
especially jerrymandering.
LOL. Oh, they'll have the best teachers on the subject in the West...
President Morsi's actions have polarised, rather than unified Egyptians. This World Review report may be of interest.http://worldreview.info/content/egypt-s-president-morsi-face-behind-name
What an arrogant Piece. Might as well say "Yea and if he does not do it the way we like it we should make a big glass crater of Egypt".
The West backs the Muslim Brotherhood because they back Free Markets.The West will always back free markets and capitalism over secular democracy. It was like this during the Cold War, and it has not changed. Let's be frank, the Secular opposition, is dominated by left wing secular types with some iffy economic ideas.
That said the Muslim Brotherhood is caught between a rock and a hard place. On one side there is the IMF/West and the core of the Muslim Brotherhood, pious Muslim businessmen/middle class vs the Military with their dominance of Egypt's statist economy. Morsi made a pact with the devil. Eventually he will have to tell the Military that their economic privileges will have to go, this is when the sh*t will hit the fan.
" Morsi made a pact with the devil. Eventually he will have to tell the Military that their economic privileges will have to go, this is when the sh*t will hit the fan."
True. But what will happen then? Back to the good old days of Mubarak? How long do you suppose it will take before that excrement collides with the ventilation device? The Egyptian economy is in the sh*tter already, so it won't take nowhere near as long as it took Mubarak to grind the economy to the ground. As far as historical evidence goes, prayer and piousness never fed anyone...
"...prayer and piousness never fed anyone...."This is unproven,consider this:
Hindu Pundits,Temple Keepers never starved,dancing girls served them with zeal,every which way,devotees parted with their gold,silver,jewellery at Somnath....
If it was meant as a witticism, it got a wry smile... ;-)
If you were serious (I hope not), then you might consider the fact that those who fed those parasites did not just merely pray, but actually worked to produce the foodstuffs, so those parasites could eat. All sacerdotal parasites get fed by the lowly who actually do the work; in every religion. That is precisely why theocracies fail eventually: the sacerdotal orders are good at only hustling the feeble minded into taking care of them and do not contribute to the production of wealth. The Brothers have no clue how the world economy works; and they will prove this assertion very shortly - but will cling to power with much more determination and blood than Morsi & Co. ever did. When it will come to clinging to power, the Brothers will do more, much more, than just pray... Again, they will prove this assertion very shortly.
It is unbecomming to berate the oldest religion,Hinduism.
Brothers are no fools either,Israel is powered by the Arabs oil since its birth.
India and Israel are nervous.They worship the same gods.
Islamists share same traits as that of a Camel being hardy,would survive on little hay and water,unpredictable for friends and foes alike.
While sitting prays like his driver does,griniding its teeths,scheming and meditating....
Islamists are as global as climate change with common war cry...
The brotherhood is a corrective moral movement which is an 83 years old, It was never in power until 5 months ago, during those 5 months secular parties have not stopped of provoking violence, we hope -as Egyptians- that things settle down after the agreement of Egyptians on the new constitution, this constitution -for the 1st time in Egypt's history- was assembled from an elected committee. "Al-Sharea" is not something new in Egyptian constitutions since 1923, so no reason for the west to get scared from the new Egyptian regime, the west -as always pretend- must guard the democratic changes in Egypt, and press on secular parties to respect the free will of Egyptian people which have chosen the new constitution & before that have chosen president Morsi and the brotherhood. It is unfair to judge Morsi after only 5 months of unsettled situation after a great revolution.
Meet the new boss...
same as the old boss
"The west has stayed out of Egyptian politics.." what a big false statement that a reputable magazine such the economist bluntly states ! What about the annual $ 1.3 billion annual funding the US provided Egypt for years under the Foreign Military Financing budget ! Whomever wrote this article is particularly super biased and the world media continues its influence of the West public opinion under the slogan of "promoting Democracy". No matter what the people of Egypt decide to vote for a repressive or progressive Islamic constitution it is THEIR CONSTITUTION NOT THE WEST CONSTITUTION. Let us not forget that promoting democracy is respecting diversity no matter how foreign it is to ones own believes.
Egypt and North Africa in general is undergoing a movement of change and its youth are tired of corrupted puppets like Mubarak loyal to Western economic colonial interests. Egypt will make it
Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are in power. Why does TE keep saying they have to do this, or must do that? Their goal is to build a new political structure using Sharia law, as they have stated. They have now enshrined this in Law. Why should they change direction now? Seriously, why? Because some "Featured" TE post says so?
Eventually the demonstrations will die-down and people will try to get-on with their lives. As corrupt and twisted as the Brotherhood is, they are no worse than what went before and they were kind of voted into power. The so-called Arab spring is really just another chapter in disappointment but it is their story to write, not ours.
From where did you get the perception that MB are corrupted & twisted ? MB have not been in power -at all- in history, except since 5 months ago (as the presidential chair only)...
I'm sure that what scares you mostly is the chance that they might succeed in building a modern democracy in Egypt and NOT the chance that they might fail !!
People are not scared that the MB could succeed at building a modern democracy, they are scared of how the MB would define democracy.
We don't forget the MB founder's intention: "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet".
The revolution will continue, see you all on January 25th 2013
The secular parties in Egypt used to provoke violence since Morsi was chosen by Egyptians for the presidential chair 5 months ago, they used to reject democracy since then, that is why they were rejected by the majority of Egyptians in every election merit.
see you all on January 25th 2013
A revolution against an elected president and elected regime has only one name ... (Kayos)
America has always been more than happy to support dictators as long as they towed the line re Israel. While the Arab Spring appeared to be wonderful in theory it is just not going the way the US wants.
America has never been "happy" to support dictators, but sometimes Real-politic means you have to do business with the least-offensive choice. Much of the world is ruled by some form of dictatorship and reality means you have to recognize them.
The "Arab Spring" is a silly term. I don't know who the fool was who coined it.
I have not see any country ruled by Islamists or pro-Islamist bringing prosperity,justice and peace for all. Only for themselves the Islmists !! A clear example:Iran. Women discriminated and punished for not using a veil, 50% unemployment youth, oil rationing in one of the largest oil-producing countries, no freedom of conscious or religion for people, etc.. The same goes for Irak, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Sudan, and regretabbly most of Arab countries
Turkey - Malaysia - Indonesia - and hopefully Egypt.
Magdi, you are not fooling anyone.
Turkey's success was largely due to Ataturk's reforms, transforming Turkey into a Westernized, secular state, not ruled by Islamists. Sadly, that is beginning to change under the current leadership, who seem to want a return to a caliphate.
Maylaysia an example of a muslim dominated country creating "peace and justice for all" ? Where apostates and Christians are persecuted today?"
Egypt? Keep on hoping, but don't expect much progress from a Muslim Brotherhood dominated government.
To the Economist and Mr. Shakelton it is the implicit forlorn hope that Democracy as viwed and interpreted by both is the cure all of Egypt's ills and the panacea for the future ; this is deducted from the key sentence: " I'd agree with this statement if Egypt was within arm's length of a mature democracy ".
Democracy may be that to both and to a good number of Egyptians as well.
BUT is it to the majority of Egyptians and other Arabs as well.??
I contend that the answer is a resounding NO!
NOT out of ignorance or non appreciation of democracy's multifarious benefits BUT out of prioritizing other major issues that do actually curtail their ambitions and inhibit their forward march as they ( Not the Economist not Mr. Shakelton) perceive it.
FAR more important than Democracy to most Egyptians and Arabs is the issue of NATIONAL SECURITY ie virtual real national sovereignty closely followed by socio-economic progress.
Re this issue of prioritizing democracy the WEST is (at best) trying to do its altruistic best by advice and guidance and at worst is deliberately sidelining and ignoring that which is most important to the community concerned.
The West's record in the region (colonialist legacy of: Sykes-Picot/Israel /the destruction of Iraq etc) hardly lends any credibility to the former while its present strategies ( alliance with and protection of the most despotic and corrupt regimes/ empowering Israel into regional super power/consistent denial of and contempt for Palestinians' inalienable rights in their homeland etc) avidly supports the other!
NOT that all Westerners including The Economist and Mr. Shakelton do necessarily partake in the side lining and ignoring facet of Egyptian/Arab priorities but that their approach to the whole issue happens NOT to be shared by the concerned community….which DEMOCRATICALLY should be the overriding factor!
There is an assumption in Western political and economic thought that a democratic system rooted in freedom of thought, religion, association, economic choice, and mutual respect for others' rights yields as close to the optimum environment for economic and social advancement. The world is full of examples which support this position.
Dragging colonialism into this discussion represents a kind of backwards thinking and a failure to move-on. The "concerned community" you make reference to is perhaps the real victim in the story, as they have never had the oportunity to improve their lives and raise their standard of living due in part to vested local interests who hide behind a narative based on some form of Israel/Palestinian "history." Poor uneducated masses are easily sidetracked into accepting their "lot" when in fact local vested interests do not want a modern and free society because it threatens them and their interests. It really is possible to have these concerns of yours and still live in a free society. Really, it is .
" There is an assumption in Western political and economic thought that a democratic system rooted in freedom of thought, religion, association, economic choice, and mutual respect for others' rights yields as close to the optimum environment for economic and social advancement. The world is full of examples which support this position "
Is true enough as far as Western communities ( USA & W Europe) are concerned and was ONLY achieved and maintained after securing and sustaining NATIONAL SECURITY!
It is NOT the only model for progress and advancement in all walks of life for all nations and communities: witness CHINA!
As importantly it is a model that should naturally evolve as an output of several historical cultural and socio economic determining factors and can neither be imported nor imposed.
Conversely do you sincerely believe that China would have been where it stands now had it had a Western style: free market/liberal democratic governing doctrine??
As an ideal Democracy is possibly the best system; however the real question is WHEN and WHERE!
"Dragging colonialism in...." is inevitable should one objectively appraise its legacy in the Middle East and the oututs od its deliberate and conscious policies meant to retard and frustrate Arab ambitions for unity nationalsecurity and socio economic progress!
Are you aware of the outgrowths of Sykes-Picot /of and from the implantation of Israel in Palestine and ( lately) the destruction of Iraq; a neocolonialist/imperialist move par excellence??
I urge you to consider these factors and their outputs.
NOT that they are the only retarding factors in and of Arab life BUT certainly were and still are major retarding factors; deliberately and consciously planted in Arab life by departing colonialism and ever ambitious neocolonialism.
These inter alia have been major life shaping factors
The west should stop meddling in other peoples' affairs and begin to accept that democracy will not always deliver the results which the west finds suitable and acceptable
Yeah I agree. They should have left Mubarak in place. Now they will have to deal with more Iran-like crazies.
This is not a democracy - the Brotherhood will make sure that they will not be dislodged from power.
Oddly enough, the false democracy and new popular-dictatorship in Egypt will not harm me or my family at all. Only the people of Egypt will suffer but they are too ignorant to understand what they are doing to themselves.
:) Egypt is safe, don't worry, they'll be just fine without your provocative and base meddling in their affairs. The current government should limit its dependence on foreign aid and uphold the values it stands for - justice, equity and prosperity for all.
You mean "justice, equity and prosperity" for all the Muslims - like they offer in Iran. Islamists are really good at that. Especially when they have the guns on their side.
No, in the new constitution: "Justice, equality and prosperity for all people regardless race, sex, origin, skin color .. etc.

DarleneMsLove ItI have had one for several years,I really like it ..Not so pretty,butt does the job...Getting ready to order one for my step-daughter now......posted Aug 26, 2012Link to this post
ChanellOhioHairMedium BrownCurly HairFabulous!This organizing is the best. I can store my blow dryer, flat iron, and curling iron in one place for easy use. Its safe, with no fear of my children accidentally being burned. It's great when doing my daughters hair. I have no worries of it slipping off the counter top and burning her anymore. And it only needs one outlet for all three. No need to switch between tools. Love love love!!!!posted Mar 9, 2012Link to this post
JaneHoles Not Large Enough For Some Hair DryersThis lucite tool holder does help with cord clutter somewhat. However, the holes are not large enough for some hair dryers. I tried two that didn't fit. Finally the third one fits in the large holder, along with my small curling ironin the smaller holder. The counter still doesn't look very neat, but it is better than having the two tools just lying on top and getting tangled.posted Mar 22, 2010Link to this post
MarilynCanadaLucite Curling Iron HolderThis is a fantastic product, in fact it's my second one. Had the first one for many, many years. I keep my two irons in it under the cabinet and pull it all out when curling my hair. It keeps everything organized with only one plug-in! Can't function without it!! Marilynposted Mar 15, 2010Link to this post
JillNYDoes It's JobI wish it had something on the bottom to keep it from sliding. It's ugly but it is functional and convenient.(I use the "blow dryer" insert for my flat iron).posted Jan 24, 2010Link to this post
NataNYNot So Great...I got this holder to organize my regular-sized blow dryer and flat iron. Unfortunately, the opening for the dryer is not large enough (if you tend to leave your nozzles on), and the product is not at all pleasing to the eye. I suppose one could find it somewhat useful, but I cannot recommended it.posted Jun 24, 2009Link to this post
Mildred M. ParkerSan Jose, CAExcellent StorageI love this product for holding my blow dryer and hot iron. In theory, being able to plug both into the tool holder cuts down on dangling and tangling cords. However, because my blow dryer has a reset plug, which is larger than a regular plug, and my curling iron is a regular plug, using the holder plug requires my blow dryer plug to stick out at an inconvenient angle.posted Oct 29, 2007Link to this post
CindyMinnesotaGreat IdeaPurchased this for my daughter to use at college. Great idea for the dorm room that has very few outlets or that has furniture hiding most of the outlets. The only thing that would make it better would be to make the hairdryer holder a little bigger and also make one of the metal barrels larger to accommodate the larger flat irons young girls use now days!posted Sep 8, 2007Link to this post
Cheri G.ILNo More Tangled Cords Or Burns!!!I purchased an Electric Lucite Tool Holder more than a year ago and it made a huge difference in organizing my styling supplies. Previously I had a blow-dryer and two curling irons sitting on my vanity. Theyd get knocked off or in the way, Id get burned on occasion and ALWAYS the cords were tangled up. The Tool Holder is fantastic - it keeps things in their place, nice & neat -- and no more burns or tangled cords! I love it so much, I just purchased another one for our cottage. Thanks for this terrific product!posted Apr 20, 2007Link to this post
Sheldon MooreHouston, TexasElectric Lucite Tool HolderThe item seemed to be of good quality and vey useful. It did arrive dinged in one spot and our hair dryer would not fit inside the tube so we returned this particular item.posted Sep 5, 2006Link to this post

Not good that Alissa is the one winning LPs like this either. It says a lot about the state of American skaters.
Also, how is Alissa getting 7 to 8s for skating skills/transitions/choreography/etc? These are the sort of marks that usually go to Miki Ando, Mao Asada. That's even higher than the marks typically given to Laura Lepisto and Carolina Kostner. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

we simply must begin to truly understand that it is "We the People" not "We the politicians." When did the people lose control? Our country currently is being run by mis-guided, ineffective, unqualified ego maniacs who do NOT have have the "People's" best interest at heart and as their priority. If they did, this sex offender registry/branding would have been pulled way back long ago. But when your first priority is self-glorification and ones own rise to power, all kinds of horrible things begin to happen. This issue will NOT come to a head and change until enough of the "wrong" people and the "wrong" families are put on that list. (btw ever wonder why Larry Craig or Mark Foley are not on the List??) But that's OK because at the rate we are going it really is all a matter of time.
Any politician with any sense and with real moral fortitude would grab at this issue, stand firm, get the research, have Patty speak for him (among hundreds of other educated well regarded national figures) and win the election of his lifetime. I challenge any politician to, for ONCE, use this issue for the improvement of society and for the better protection of children instead of basterdizing this issue for ones own personal, selfish political gain. THAT is the true HORROR of all of this.

Still way too speculative. Valve already releases their dedicated servers for linux. They might just be looking for someone else to help with this. It seems you have another source for the client being ported than just the job posting, but until I hear more about who or what this source is, I'm go to remain skeptical. Even if they are working on a linux port, there's no guarantee it will be finished. It's not like their business depends on porting the game to linux, so if the project runs into any bumps it'll be the first to be dumped.
Still, it would be nice if steam and the source engine was fully ported to linux. I'm just really skeptical that it'll happen.

Dimitar Berbatov made a dream start to life at Craven Cottage on Saturday with a first-half brace against West Bromwich Albion in front of a sell-out crowd in SW6.
It took less than two minutes for Berbatov to set his sights on goal, firing just wide from close range after a confident, attacking start to proceedings by Martin Jol's Team.
Berbatov's first attempt on goal came after the irrepressible Damien Duff had teased his marker down the flank and set the overlapping Sascha Riether free down the right channel. Riether's cross to the near post found Berbatov but his attempt was just off target.
Fulham made a blistering start to the game, with the home crowd enjoying Berbatov's sublime touches in the final third of the field. However, it was not all Fulham's way in the opening stages, as West Brom almost took the lead after nine minutes when a powerful drive from outside the right side of the area by James Morrison forced Mark Schwarzer into a fingertip save.
Fulham produced a superb passage of play after 20 minutes that deserved a goal. Following a lengthy spell of possession and some neat interplay, orchestrated by Berbatov, Riether's cross from the right was just out of reach for the Bulgarian striker. Fulham were certainly confident in attack and finding their stride as the minutes passed.
Four minutes later, Fulham caught West Brom on the counter attack after Steve Sidwell won possession with a superb sliding tackle. Riether charged forward and once again supplied a testing delivery from the right flank that narrowly evaded a host of players.
After 31 minutes Berbatov scored a quite beautiful goal following excellent work from Alexander Kačaniklić down the left flank to hand Fulham a 1-0 lead. The Swedish winger's bursting run down the left saw him slalom into the area before playing a neat ball to Berbatov, 12 yards from goal. Berbatov had it all to do as the ball arrived at his feet but his right footed curling shot into the far corner of the net was simply inch perfect. The Cottage erupted in awe at a sublime strike from Fulham's new number nine.
After 37 minutes the red mist descended on Peter Odemwingie, who inexplicably kicked out at Riether in front of Fulham's bench. It was nothing but a straight red card for Odemwingie and moments after the player had left the pitch, Berbatov almost grabbed his second with a diving header that arrowed just wide of Ben Foster's goal.
As two minutes of added time were announced at Craven Cottage, Kačaniklić tormented his marker down the left flank and drew a foul in the area. It was a clear penalty and Berbatov stepped up to coolly slot the ball into the far corner of the net to earn Fulham a 2-0 lead at the break.
Fulham certainly didn't sit back on their lead when the second half kicked off. The first 10 minutes of play saw Jol's Team camped in West Brom's half, launching wave after wave of attacks.
The security Sidwell and Chris Baird provided in central midfield on Saturday really allowed Fulham's attacking players to flourish. In fact, Fulham attacked from the back, with Riether and John Arne Riise constantly overlapping deep into West Brom's half throughout the match.
The pace of the game dipped as the hour mark passed, with Jol's team possessing a comfortable lead against the 10 men of West Brom, but substitute Romelu Lukaku caused a moment of concern for the home crowd after 66 minutes with a fierce drive across goal that forced Schwarzer into a diving save.
Two minutes later Berbatov looked set to score a third, when Hugo Rodallega played him through on goal. Unfortunately Berbatov was denied as he primed to shoot but Fulham looked odds on to score a third.
Sidwell was the next to try his luck with a well-placed drive to Foster's near post from 20 yards after 70 minutes that the keeper could only parry away. Seconds later, Duff fired in a rasping drive that hit Berbatov's head and looped over the crossbar. There was no let up, with Aaron Hughes heading just wide moments later from a Fulham corner.
After 72 minutes Duff ripped apart West Brom's defence down the right flank before selflessly setting up Rodallega for a strike on the edge of the area. Foster was there again, parrying the ball away for a corner.
Fulham's supporters certainly enjoyed the latter stages of the game, as Jol's Team dominated every aspect of the match. It was a performance of real confidence and flair that deserved nothing less than maximum points.
Two minutes before full-time Fulham signed off in fashion, with a third goal from Sidwell. Substitute Pajtim Kasami teased West Brom's defence down the left flank before his cross eventually fell to Sidwell, who fired home from close range. During injury time, Duff received a standing ovation as he was replaced by Academy graduate Alex Smith.

Excellent cosmetic companies know that in order for a beautiful makeup finish to be achieved, there are some required steps to be taken at the outset of the manufacturing process. Colorescience Pro seems to get this concept. The Colorescience Blush category within the Colorescience brand is a perfect example of this theory.
Additional Colorescience Blush Information
In order for a flawless make-up (and blush color) finish, Colorescience Pro has developed their Colorescience Blush line with these key components of success. They have formulated quality products that are easy to apply in combination with rich quality color and ingredients. In other words, Colorescience Blush application (including the application apparatus and how it's packaged) along with the brand's good-for-the-skin minerals in rich natural colors is where the world of beauty meets up with science, professional beauty, art and nature. This is what makes Colorescience Blush category a unique cosmetic blusher line.
Blush should be applied in a way that achieves a natural flushed type tone to the cheeks. A good visual may be to picture cheeks that have good circulation or color, whether it is from exercise, a bit of sunshine, or simply a healthy, happy body or even a giddy romantic attitude. Typically natural pink or rouge colored cheeks don't have a beginning or an end which is why Colorescience Pro feels it's crucial to apply your blusher so that appears virtually seamless, meaning no beginning and/or no end. Therefore the brand has developed the Colorescience Blush line with an easy-to-apply approach.
Additionally, Colorescience Blush line offers a variety of colors and styles of blushers which facilitate this easy to use and apply-style type of approach. Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-Just Barely is a medium, neutral mauve colored brown blush whereas Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-My Lil Pumpkin is a medium colored terra cotta peach. The Colorescience Blush line also offers the easy to use retractable blusher in

It is important that one person in each touring group be trained in the principles of first aid, know how and when to put this knowledge to the best use, and thoroughly understand the limitations of this knowledge.
It is strongly recommended that adult leaders in Scouting avail themselves of CPR and first-aid training by the American Red Cross or any recognized agency to be aware of the latest techniques and procedures. However, some of the first-aid techniques found in BSA literature are not the same as those professed by the American Red Cross. Frequently, modifications depend on the Scout's age—this could be a factor in the Scout's judgment and physical dexterity.
Here are the first aid resources you need for over 40 ranks and badges. ► Videos show you key skills.
While your handbook is your primary resource, the links below can help you learn your first aid skills. See the Disclaimers.
► Expert Village Videos: First Aid - Basics - Basics2 ► About.com - offers a number of first aid videos. ► ProFirstAid (PFAVideo) - an entire online first aid course for free. Pay if you want their certificates. ► American Red Cross Training Online - The Greater Indianapolis Chapter offers many certified American Red Cross first aid courses for a fee.
BSA Rank Videos for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class cover many first aid topics including: Heimlich Maneuver, Hurry Cases, First Aid Kit, Bandages, Transporting the injured, and CPR.
