All the comforts of home
If you're looking for a home away from home, why not stay in a self-catering apartment? You'll find all the comforts of your own house, as well as plenty privacy, and all in your favourite holiday destination.
Self-catering accommodation usually comes in the form of an apartment or house for the real 'home away from home' experience. Usually, you'll have the run of the place, so you can live as you usually do, but in your new surroundings. Meet your neighbours at the local shops, markets, and nearby farms that sell eggs and other local produce. Avrete una vera immagine dello stile di vita britannico come dell'inestimabile conoscenza locale.
Self-catering accommodation prices vary depending on the type of accommodation (serviced apartment to country farm), location, length of stay and number of people. Contattate direttamente i gestori degli alloggi per informazioni sui prezzi.
I servizi variano in base al tipo d'alloggio: Generally, all self-catering properties are fully furnished and supplied with household equipment such as cutlery and crockery, although in some cases you'll be charged extra for linen or towels as well as for gas and electricity.
Serviced apartments offer the comfort, privacy and flexibility of a self-catering property, together with the added benefits of many hotel-type services - such as maid service, internet access points, room service and concierge/reception. If you want to know more about the facilities on offer, contact the accommodation provider before you book.
If you are planning a trip to London travel as the locals travel using an Oyster Card . It really is the essential "buy before you leave" product. You can use Oyster on ALL London underground, buses, Docklands Light Railway and trams, and on many regular train services within London.

RumbleRoller Foam Massage Roller
Very helpful
Don't need Aleve when I use this roller. Great is the word.
February 17, 2015
Painful, physically and in cost, but very effective!
The product works as advertised. You feel great after a session. It really does get into the muscle. Is it painful? On a muscle knot, yes very mush so. But the relief after a session has been nothing short of euphoric. Cost is a little high for a foam roller, but I was able to find a coupon and free shipping which made me finally pull the trigger.
It has been a great tool in my P90X, +, 3, Insanity, Asylum regiment. I should have bought it a long time ago for the muscle relief alone, but for what it does to the knot in my neck and shoulder it has now become irreplaceable.

Very relaxing
Intimidating at first. The knobs seem hard on the first attempted roll, but it really gets the job done.
After the first try,it's really not bad at all. After a week,I find myself wondering if the extra firm would be even better.
My 12 year old son likes it as well, he uses it daily, Can't get my wife past the first attempt, however.
Knobs and diameter are a little large for neck, feet.
a 4-5 inch diameter roll with smaller, closer knobs would be great for those areas
Overall very happy with this
December 14, 2014
Just what I needed
I read many reviews about different types of rollers before I made this purchase. It seems like hardness or softness is really a personal preference. Every set of reviews I read had someone who gave it one star because they thought it was too hard or too soft.
So I ended up with this RumbleRoller which got solid reviews for quality. It is plenty long, you can roll just about any part of your body with it. I've been using it the day after a hard workout when I know I have tightened up and yes it hurts a bit when I use it to remove adhesions in the muscle tissue, why wouldn't it?
I have worked out routines that let me control the amount of pressure I'm putting on the muscle which let's me ease into the treatment gradually. They include a little booklet that has some illustrations of different ways of using the roller which are helpful for a start but I've modified them for my use. One thing they don't mention is that you can use the roller against a wall for your back. I think that gives you more control over the pressure than simply putting your weight on it while you're lying on the floor.
I'm a cyclist so I use this more on my legs than other areas. After using it on my calves, quads and glutes I feel much more limber when I start my next workout. The fingers on the roller do a good job of reaching deep into your tissue. I have used a smooth foam roller a few times and I like this one much more.
A few users mentioned an unwanted odor from the roller. I didn't even notice an odor at all so maybe they have more sensitive noses than I do.

Helps with Recovery
I do a lot of cycling. This the best roller product I have used to help recovery of stiff and tired leg muscles. The firmness of the "blue models" bumps are perfect for getting in the crook and crannies where the smooth models will not. Warning: If you are not a lover of deep tissue massage this may not be the roller for you.
October 30, 2014
I was hesitant because of the price, but it's worth every cent.
September 5, 2014
Rumble roller must have
I love this product. I actually bought this as a gift for a friend. Hurts but works out the kinks between massages or in place of them if not in the budget. I think any active adult needs one of these.
September 3, 2014
Rumble Roller Foam Massage Roller
I purchased this based on Web reviews but had to return it as it was way too hard for my sore back and legs. I ended up with a plain foam roller. Once I get past my pain and sore muscles I will probably look at this roller again as it did have trigger points that would seem to target certain places in my back that need more than a plain foam roller. My rating is based on the roller I need now, not a rating of this roller over all.
September 3, 2014
Awesome roller!!!
This foam roller is the best one I have had and used by far. What makes this better than most is the groooves. They help get deep into your muscles and help you roll out those tight spots in the body.
August 6, 2014
Amazing muscle spasm relief
Easy way to get relief if you don't have access to a massage therapist

Barclays boss 'shredding' legacy
Published: 05 February 2013
Mr Jenkins, who took over as chief executive in August, told MPs he repeatedly raised concerns with the board and Mr Diamond over the culture at the bank and that "actions" were needed rather than words.
In a tense hearing with the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, Mr Jenkins assured MPs he was taking action to address the "aggressive" and "self-serving" culture under Mr Diamond.
He said the bonus pool for 2012 had already been "substantially" reduced following a scandal-hit year that saw the bank's reputation battered by the Libor rate-rigging affair.
The group added that Tuesday's hike in provisions for compensation for mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI) and interest rate swap products to small businesses had specifically resulted in a "material" cut to the bonus pot.
Barclays revealed earlier it was setting aside a further £600 million for redress to cover mis-sold PPI, taking the total to £2.6 billion.
The bank will increase its provision for interest rate swap compensation by £400 million to £850 million in the wake of the City watchdog's recent report on mis-selling of the complex financial products.
Mr Jenkins said last week he would waive his bonus for 2012 after a "very difficult" year for the bank.
Barclays has yet to reveal how much its overall 2012 bonus pool will be, but is expected to give details alongside the company's annual results next Tuesday.

Yeah...I wasn't really sure what the Green ranger one was. It looked like it may of been Link due the Ocarina, but the mask looked like your stereotypical green alien heads from the 90's and the weapon that the red ranger is holding looked to me like a green tail...so I thought the green ranger may of been a reference to a reptilian character, but I couldn't think of the name of the cartoon from back then of the fighting reptile that seemed to lose his tail in about half the episodes due to some sort of misshap. Still though definitely voted on this. Also is the black ranger a reference to multiple things? I thought it was Batman at first, but then was confused by the sword, and remember that the black ranger definitely had a power axe!

Good eye Narfcake. I actually started with a screenshot from the movie, so I am aware it's not exactly the same. I wanted to go "minimalist" with this and the original stapler just didn't have the same visual interest as this one. Since I can't put "Swingline" on the side, I needed some other elements to make it pop. The name plate and the joint fender provided that. Artistic license, ya know? As long as the joke works, I'm okay with the inaccuracy.

Never even saw the first one.
Here is the first official trailer for The Last Exorcism Part II. The sequel to original The Last Exorcism is being helmed by Ed Gass-Donnelly (Beautiful City).
The Plot: As Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) tries to build a new life after the events of the first movie, the evil force that once possessed her returns with an even more horrific plan.
The Last Exorcism Part II arrives in theaters March 1st, 2013.
I am glad they left the shaky cam documentary style behind for this one, but I dont know if I can bring myself to watch it after the absolute terrible ending to the first one....
I felt cheated and it is in the "top 5 worst movie endings" list for me.
Wise, LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking. It's like calling a movie "The End of the World: One More Time."
i take it the first one was a big pile of shit..why would this one be any better? besides there is only one real bad ass excorcist movie and that was original from the 70's ..the rest can all suck it..

Revision as of 03:08, 31 October 2006
AoC Candidate: Boris
Project Coordinator: Dinis Cruz
Project Progress: 03% Complete - Progress Page
Background and Motivation
History Behind Project
OWASP .NET Tools were originally created by Dinis Cruz as standalone applications ANSA, ANBS and SAM'SHE. These tools are used to diagnose security problems in shared hosting environments based on Microsoft's ASP.NET platform.
The number of Web sites and applications is growing rapidly, as well as number of platforms. Microsoft's Web platform is known for its high level of developer productivity, ease of setup and administration and great integration with other, often very widespread, Microsoft products. So, the Microsoft Web platform may be very attractive to individuals and various types of organizations. However, there are still many doubts about how secure it is. Many of these doubts are not backed by specific, measurable data and tests but instead on historical (but not necessarily outdated) data and "word of mouth" type of evidence. Determining how secure an application running on Microsoft's Web platform is usually requires a lot of time and resources. There aren't many tools for testing security aspects of Microsoft's Web platform that make things easier. Even few are publicly available.
Another problem is that, due to a user-friendly nature of the tools provided in Microsoft's products, administering Web sites and applications may seem easier than it sometimes is. Many times these tasks are delegated to people who are not aware of numerous security-related problems (sometimes even not to professional IT administrators) that may occur. As a result, many Web sites and applications deployed are insecure.
Problem to be Addressed
OWASP Tiger 1.0 (this project) is meant to improve and integrate ANSA, ANBS and SAM'SHE into single (but versatile) tool and create both more functionality and better user exeprience.
Benefit to OWASP Members and Community
The deliverables of this project will (hopefully) help OWASP members and community
- be aware of vulnerabilities and risks involved with their applications before releasing them to general public
- determine if their applications are deployed in a less than optimal security environment
- ease patch/hotfix management of their OS/Web server software
- perhaps even make decisions about the technology stack(s) used
Goals and Deliverables
Plan of Approach
- Convert all SAM,SHE and ANSA tests into Owasp Site Generator tests
- Document and risk rate all tests using Owasp Report Generator
- Merge and update current SAM'SHE, ANSA and ANBS user interface to reflect the new identity and funcionality
The main deliverables of Tiger 1.0 will be:
- Source code checked in a publicly available SCC system (most probably SourceForge.net)
- Binaries (in the form of installer) posted on SourceForge.net
- User documentation posted on SourceForge.net
Risks and Rewards
Main Risks
The biggest risks with this project are:
- Lack of technical documentation for the current releases (so it's difficult to grasp and build upon the current system)
- Envisioned functionality is not fully specified (yet). Ideally, we sould have a full-blown functional specification.
Rewards of Successful Project
Hopefully, this project will help security professionals find and patch security vulnerabilities much faster and easier than before. That will in turn help the whole user community by making Web applications (well, at least those deployed on the Microsoft platform) more reliable and trustworthy.
This article is a stub. You can help OWASP by expanding it or discussing it on its Talk page.

At least ice dancing is now more of an actual sport. There was no movement in the standings, and placements were chosen long before skaters stepped on the ice. Now teams actually have to skate well. I found many ice dancers to be overly dramatic and the performance aspect would far outweigh the technical aspect. The crowd at Nice was emptier because skating popularity in ice dance has declined as a whole.
DomShabs winning the CD in Vancouver was a good example of how judges had more flexibility to fix standings... but there was no hiding in the OD and FD when DomShabs were technically outskated by V/M and D/W.
I'd have to disagree about the final flight being a delight to watch. It was nice to watch, but I thought Carolina had a fantastic skate, but it was marred by how easy it was. There was no skater who really skated lights out... they just did what they needed to do to place. The final flight at the Olympics however was very exciting to watch because the skaters actually brought the technical chops.

He will probably damage the country's economy too, such as it is.
As some americans think it proper to stay in the 19th century forever, some in the arab world prefer the 9th. Forever.
The 9th century would be an improvement; they insist on going back to the 7th century...
This was always going to happen - the dead, undemocratic, hand of Islam and it's adherents will again prevent the people of Egypt from having better lives and more freedom. But if that's what the people voted for, how can they complain now - surely they knew that the MB bullies would just take over and to hell with the rights of non-muslims? As with Hamas, so with Morsi.
Assad owes a big one to Morsi. There might have been some among the Assad gang who were willing to compromise. No more. Assad & Co. know full well what is waiting for them if they fold -which they won't, all the Western wishful thinking notwithstanding. Those who might have been a little squeamish about the bloodbath that is sure to come, are no longer so. So, thanks a lot, all you thugs of the Brotherhood, for having convinced Assad & Co. to fight to the bitter end, no matter what. May all you Brothers come to an early and ignominious end.
I was so happy to see that president Obama condemned this move by Morsi an Executive to grab sole power!! Oh What? He did not?
I'm sure he will any day now! What? You don't think so? You think that power would be nice to have given his problems with Congress? NO I think your wrong, our President want the people to rule.
He wants constitutional power over the debt that belongs to the House?
No he can't want that. You must be wrong.
Ken, it would help if you knew what you were making noises about. The so called "debt ceiling" refers to a debt that has already been authorized by congress.
Such stupidity is a smear, a skid-mark on the U.S.
Here's the thing... When you play the long game, you have to wait. That is why it is called the long game! By jumping the gun, he was acting like the Muslim Brotherhood had instigated and won a revolution. They hadn't, the people now in the streets had.
If the brotherhood wanted to take power and be a dictatorship, the long game was their only play... "yes, yes, we love deomcratic society with rules" meanwhile, over a long time (hence the name long game) undercutting those rules in small ways. Turkey's muslim party may be playing a long game (tough to tell with the long game). Point is Morsi didn't understand the game he was playing.
Re: "The Egyptian president, Muhammad Morsi, is doing great damage to his country's democracy" --
President Morsi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, known to support an Islamic state that offers no separation of Mosque and State. Democracy is seen as the rule of man; but the Brotherhood's form of Islamic State would be against the rule of man and for the rule, ONLY, of Allah. Thus the very notion that the President "is doing great damage to his country's democracy" is naive and uninformed.
The Hamas Charter, for example, explains the relationship of Hamas to the Brotherhood:
"Article Two: The Link between Hamas and the Association of Muslim Brothers.
The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine. The Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a world organization, the largest Islamic Movement in the modern era.
It is characterized by a profound understanding, by precise notions and by a complete comprehensiveness of all concepts of Islam in all domains of life: views and beliefs, politics and economics, education and society, jurisprudence and rule, indoctrination and teaching, the arts and publications, the hidden and the evident, and all the other domains of life."
That means "no separation of state --and any other aspect of life and culture--from mosque.

Thus the very notion that the President "is doing great damage to his country's democracy" is naive and uninformed. In order to allow the fall of Mubarak and the rise of Morsi and the Brotherhood, the American president had no choice but to couch the revolution in terms of "democracy" because Americans would never support an undemocratic revolution. But the goal of democracy has been illusory--nothing but a pretense, from the beginning. Either that, or the naivety of the West is beyond dangerous.
The Hamas Charter, for example, explains the relationship of Hamas to the Brotherhood:

Very interesting article describing a sad reality.
Surprisingly, many people still continue using the term arab "spring" for this mess?!?!???
If the spring is like this, just imagine what would be the autumn !!
No separation of religion and politics = No democracy
History has already shown this, so let's take some lessons from it.
Dear Economist writers
I regret to say that is all what was written is correct , I am moselem and I am asham of the dectetorship we live in today .
Mr. barady was correct but it is too late for blaming .
We need to read now and vote , hoping there is no cheating ?
Dear Economist writers and readers,
this comment is written by Egyptian citizen who is not a member of Muslim brothers group or any political party in Egypt.
this article is completely biased and not accurate.
president Mursi is an elected president. there was an elected parliament too which was elected in a democratic way witnessed and monitored not only by the press and media but also by the international organizations interested in monitoring elections.
the parliamentary elections was done according to a law that has been issued by the military council (when it was ruling the country during the transition period), the law was first rejected by those political powers in Egypt who are calling themselves " liberal and western-oriented etc ". and in order to appease them the ruling military council at that time accepted their suggestions to amend this law, then the law was issued however at that time the high constitutional court warned that these amendments made to the law of the parliamentary elections might make it unconstitutional.
after that, the elections has been done and it was free, the liberal took a very minority while the islamists were the majority, the parliament was under a fierce attack not only because its performance was not good but because the liberal groups was dis-satisfied about it .
the military council in co-operation with the high constitutional court dissolved the parliament and their justification was that the law according to it the elections has been done was unconstitutional. actually this decision was welcomed by the liberal groups in Egypt. when I say liberal groups I mean AL BARADEAYY and AMR MOUSSA and SABBAHY and those who are in Tahrir square now.
the military council then retained the legislative power after the dissolved parliament. then the presidential election done and Mursi came and he make the Military council to get back to their job and he take the executive power since he is the elected president and he also took the legislative power not because he is a dictator but because the parliament has been dissolved and the legislative power moved to the military then to Mursi.
Mursi tried to retrieve the dissolved parliament after he became president but because of the strong opposition from the liberal groups he quit this attempt.
Then Mursi declared that the elected committee to write the constitution must be given the opportunity to finish the job in order to make a referendum on the constitution and if approved by the people he will call for a new parliamentary election in order to give the the legislative power to the elected parliament.
now what, the liberal group supported by some foreign parties were trying to dissolve the elected committee to write the constitution and they might be trying to remove even the elected president from his office, of course the liberal groups are supported also by the members of the high constitutional court who are judges appointed by Mubarak (the former president) and supported also by supporters and the members of the former regime
Mursi had no way to protect the democracy and his post and the elected committee to write the constitution other than using the legislative power he possess to issue the constitutional decree which protected the committee to write the constitution and which also give him the power to overthrow the attorney general who is not only one of Mubarak men but also he was a safeguard to the rest of his men who are still controlling important posts in the country and who used to be corrupt and who fear the punishment now
by the way the group which left the committee to write the constitution was approving more than 95 % of the accomplished constitution so far, and they have admitted for several times that it will be the best constitution Egypt have ever seen by the international standards of the modern constitutions in the democratic countries, however, their decision to leave the committee was just for political reasons and to get more gains through the pressure
also this article is not accurate when it tries to give the impression that the situation in Egypt now is divided among two equal parties, actually it is divided among two parties but the firs one which support Mursi is the massive majority and the second part which is against Mursi is the tiny minority.
Mursi has called for a referendum to vote on the new constitution let us all (the economist and its readers and writers) see how the people of Egypt will react to this referendum and how many will vote for and how many will vote against and how many will participate and how many will abstain.
also a big problem between Mursi and his supporters from one hand and the liberal groups and their supporters from the other hand is about the mechanism to select those who will write the constitution: Mursi and his supporters believe in the election process while the others believe in what, just the high scream/shout
Fantastic comment. Good to here from an egyptian.
The opposition is ridiculous they now they cannot defeat the muslim brotherhood at the ballot box, so they lean on the millitary and the mubarak judges. When that did not work they riot in the street. They not liberals but counter revelutionaries and they are a small minority born to rule and cannot accept they are defeated.
Ah, the Brothers are blogging on this Western decadent publication to try to explain away who they really are. Rather disingenuous, really. No sane person believes anything the Brothers and their shameless apologists say about respecting the law - unless it is Sharia, of course. That is the only law they respect...
A typical Muslim Brotherhood lying and twisting of facts. I'm glad Garaboncias saw though it, as did millions of people in Egypt and around the world
It wasn't the liberals who rejected the original election law, it was the MB that demanded revision, or they would boycott the election, knowing that they are the only organised force on the street, thanks to the stupidity of Mubarak, who kept them on a leash as a scare crow, while destroying all other opposition forces. They were warned that the law would be unconstitutional and easily challenged in court (there is precedence, the constitutional court annulled elections and dissolved parliament in 1990 based on a similar law) but the Brotherhood would not have any of it. This is all well documented with many testimonials. Egypt cheered the dissolution of the farcical parliament.
I did not bother to read the rest of the comment, I've heard it all before. Nobody believes your lies anymore, and you will answer for the blood that was spilled in front of the presidential palace, sooner or later, I promise you that.
First of all, I am not a member in the Moslem Brothers group or in any Egyptian political party. I was just writing what really happened. I do not have any problem to criticize the Moslem Brothers Group or its political party or any other political party or movement in Egypt but only when they make mistakes or when they do not respect the rules of the democratic game. your comments reflects the attitude of the extremist current opposition group in Egypt. I an not with the current Government in Egypt and also I am not against the current opposition groups in Egypt. I do respect the rules of Democracy and I know and believe that the committee to write the constitution must be elected either directly from the people or indirectly through elected parliament, also I do believe that a referendum on the Constitution must be done and the result must be not less than 80 % of voters said yes in order to accept the constitution, I do strongly oppose a constitution that is accepted while 60 % or less of voters say yes while 40 % say no. the constitution in order to be accepted must at least gain 80 % of votes. this is my opinion. by the way, regarding to the presidential palace accidents, i have heard and listened that most of the victims are moslem brothers members !
also, no one can deny that the current opposition groups in Egypt include the revolutionaries who started a revolution against Mubarak in addition to Mubarak regime members in addition to the judges of Mubarak who assisted him to opress his opponents for 30 years. so, really Morsi has done the impossible as he unified the opposition against himself.
I do strongly oppose the way the Moslem Brothers are following in practicing politics as they might have a flair toward dictatorship only in practice but the current opposition groups in Egypt suffers from the same problem
let me see if I got this right. You think the "current opposition group in Egypt" is Extremist. But you're "not against the current opposition groups in Egypt". Please stop, this is embarrassing.
what I meant is that, I have a logic behind my own opinion. I do not have a preliminary opinion toward any party. I have to listen and analyze first and then I have to give the people their own opportunity to work and practice and achieve particularly if they have been elected in a free way. then I have to express about my own opinion. and that is the difference between I and you. you and those who are like you are opposing everything and anything and at anytime, just because they want to oppose simply because they are not ruling or because they failed to get the people trust. So, I said I not against the current opposition groups in Egypt, I mean I am not against them all or at anytime or in everything and also I do not have a preliminary opinion toward them so I can refuse them even without listening to them. some of the opposition groups have logic like those who said that the referendum on the constitution should only be passed if it get the approval of at least two thirds of the voters. other opposition groups are trying to destroy the country and conspire against the country by cooperating with the enemies inside and outside the country. till now I am talking to you in a polite way. I hope you have received the message.
This just goes to show that repeating "democracy!" over and over to these countries does not make them understand the concept.
They have no understanding of the rule of law nor why it is necessary. The Arab spring will do nothing more than give the entire province a political facelift that is rotting from the inside out.
It is not that they have "no understanding of the rule of law"; it is rather that the Infidel has little understanding of the Muslim Brotherhood, its deep connection to Hamas, and its goal of establishing the rule of Allah, alternatively described as:
"a complete comprehensiveness of all concepts of Islam in all domains of life: views and beliefs, politics and economics, education and society, jurisprudence and rule, indoctrination and teaching, the arts and publications, the hidden and the evident, and all the other domains of life." Hamas Charter, Article II.
"The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine." Hamas Charter, Article II
All Egypt has known are versions of theocracy, dictatorship and despotism. Not to mention that the current models of the most developed democratic systems are themselves influenced by corporatism and neoliberalism. Any version of 'democracy' Egypt implements will be within its political centre of gravity and cultural approval.
Are Egyptians still primed for another despot controlling the oligarchy and a 'business as usual' scenario?
Can there be evolution past current and future values, without developing the Egyptian cultural systems first?
It all really gets down to the political centre of gravities current culture demanding change. Because democracy is primarily about freedom to choose, if the local value system overrides any cultural evolvement, causing regresses or a static state, who's fault is it? [rhetorical] Clearly the answer is; the autonomous individual. Meaning individuals must choose democracy, previous values or an even more evolved system.
So can individuals carry this responsibility if it is outside this and previous generations understanding of governance?
The Asch experiment, points out how important the cultural tipping point is.
If we accept the argument of
Hisham El Shebeiny, above, that Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were duly elected, then we must also accept that the majority of Egyptians are "still primed" for rule by a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and all that entails.
Thanks for the reply Attendant Lord.
".... the majority of Egyptians are "still primed" for rule....." Attendant Lord wrote.
You appear to be on the ground, so it is your call, much respect.
The Brotherhood's credo was and is "........[god] is our objective"
Using phrases like these, could mean the underling culture wants to be ruled by a 'theocracy'. A 'theocracy' will always be in conflict with democracy. For example, America is struggling in minor ways with 'theocracy' in the culture currently. This is one of the reasons it is 'conflicted' over many minor issues compared to your 'life conditions'.
Egyptian culture either evolves past this relic called 'theocracy' or not. Choice is clear.
Only you have the right to say the "majority of Egyptians are still 'primed' for rule' and nothing is changing. On the other hand you are 'aware', so your friends and family must be aware. If Egypt evolves out of this 'theocratic thinking', leaving tribalism and advanced feudalism to history, it will be a better place for generations to come. Just how evolved as members of the global community Egyptians are, time will tell.
Civil war is starting in Egypt between radicals and moderate muslims. This may be an islamic world war and I hope non-islamic forces not to involve.
Islamic societies are not yet prepared for western style democracy as we can see with Egypt. Too late.
Perhaps not too late yet in Syria.

Lisbon - Portugal
Just read the draft constitution published by BBC and comparison to old one. In a word, Wow! The word "citizen" disappears in the state identity article, to be replaced by defacto dhimmis and ummah. So, aside from "Abrahamic" religious groups, what about the rest? Even the old Ottoman's Hanafist approach included Buddhists, Zoroastrians, etc, etc. among dhimmis. And then there are the many seeming contradictions within the articles between rights and powers. All consitutions are ultimately aspirational, so how will these work out between sharia courts, dhimmi courts, and existing court system? And all this atop potential loopholes big enough to drive Mamluk cavalry through.
The problem with the Moslem Brotherhood lies in the fact that they are a secretive, self-centered group. Their one and only concern is the Brotherhood and nothing else. But, in essence, they are no different than Mubarak; same lame biased internal policies as well as same regional role .. Mubarak with a beard!
Only difference is the fact that Morsi has proven himself much more divisive than Mubark could have ever been. Now, liberals, leftists, nationalists, civil society, Copts, women .. all are against him. Only MBs and some fundamentalist Salafi factions are siding with him.
With this configuration, he is clearly in a no-win situation. It is tragic that he, being tightly bound by his Brotherhood, cannot come back from the precipice.
Given the fact that the muslim brotherhod and the salafis have a strog majority in egyptian society
I would say it is the small oppisition that is in a no-win situation.
As Christmas time is approaching why cant we all share this special time and promote PEACE.
I want to go to Bethlehem where the saviour of the WHOLE world was born.
I want to be able to go and visit Egypt and the pyramids.
Surely by now Tourism in Egypt is but inexhistant.
About time they sorted themselves out once and for all.
Merry Christmas .Inch Allah.Dieu Benisse.Shalom!
"As Christmas time is approaching why cant we all share this special time and promote PEACE."
Because Islamists view the Infidel (Christian and Jew) as targets for conversion or submission. That goal does not promote peace.
Another example of western hypocrisy and idiocy of its media. Mubarak was a great guy, great leader, maybe a strongman, but "enlightened" one.
It was a matter of time, where those "democratic rulers" turn out to be a next strongmen.
So, dear editors and other western propagandist, stop writing this crap about "pro-democracy" movements. Lukashenka even asked Americans to democratize him and Belarus, after the Saudi Arabia democratization. Why America and the EU don't want to democratize Saudi Arabia, PRC, but they had no restraints to accept the regime changes in Egypt, Libya or Tunisia.
I must admit, that Russia has right about Syria. Assad should crush those terrorist rats. Otherwise, Syria will be next Egypt or Iran.
Morsi, beeing an islamist swine should be overthrown in Mossadeq style. US and UK had the experience, it should not be a problem.
Not so fast.
As an Israeli both suspicious and fearful of the MB I must state that Morsi has been a pleasant surprise.
His performance has been inconsistent but in many parts to the good.
What 'he would like' is all too clear. But in all fairness he has learned much faster than our PM [who has also learned] the limits of aspirations and the boundaries that reality sets.
Egypt has become a ' player ' of increased stature. And Morsi likes this role. He realises that he is now inexorably linked with Obama. The latest handling of the Gaza episode has proven Obama's seemingly very improbable hopes held for any MB led democracy. In one stroke the Obama - Morsi axis has removed Iran from Gaza, shown accommodation to Israel & this legitimised the MB & the Obama 'doctrine'.
Obama holds the purse strings. A Democratic President cannot be associated with a MB that seems to be regressing to a characterisation of itself.
All this suggests that Morsi will back track and quickly so.
I certainly hope that Morsi will show that he is as fast a learner as he seems to be and correct his latest move which could otherwise be, as you suggest, bad and cataclysmically so
What, in your view, is the Obama doctrine?
The arab winter has lasted for over a thousand years, this is just a continuation of it. There never were a spring in the first place.
Its not only an Arab winter, it's a Moslem one. In the Turkish Ottoman Empire, up to the 19th century only religious books were allowed to be printed.
Given his short time in office, and in serious politics for that matter, it's hard to see Morsi having a substantial power base. He's certainly not backed up by the military, and most of the public distrusts his party. Whether he distances himself from the decree and saves face, or not, Morsi has been politically weakened by this move.

"So what if Canonical has decided to reinvent Wayland? Apart from the weird contribution agreement (which will only limit contributions), Mir is fully free software isn't it? Who are they hurting apart from their own resources and their own users? It's not that I am applauding Canonical for their decision, but I really don't see the massive problem here." Why is Canonical not allowed to do this?"
Am I missing something? Who has ever said that Canonical isn't allowed to build their own dispaly server? The point is that they'll have to do it on their own and can't force anyone to support them. If I come up with something why should I demand other people do do my homework?

Description: Keywords: HDL, Scavenger receptor, SR-BI, CD81, cholesterol Assay Overview: The goal of this assay is to identify compounds that disrupt the binding of HDL particles to SR-BI scavenger receptor. To measure this binding event, HDL particles are labeled with the fluorescent dye DiI and added to mSR-BI cells. Cells take up HDL via the SR-BI scavenger receptor in 2 to 3 hours. After significant uptake of the DiI-HDL, cells become fluorescent. The level of fluorescence correlates with the amount of HDL uptake. The uptake of lipid particles can be inhibited by the compound BLT-1 or when co-treated with an excess of unlabeled HDL. The mSR-BI cells utilized in the assay are a CHO cell line lacking expression of the LDL receptors and overexpresses the scavenger receptor, SR-BI. Inhibitors of SR-BI and HDL uptake will have a reduction in fluorescence. Protocol ldlA[mSR-BI] cells are a modified Chinese hamster ovary cell line. When maintaining in culture, it is important to fluid change cells every 2 days and avoid reaching 100% confluency. Periodically, cells are sorted using FACS to maintain optimal levels of mSR-BI expression. Day 0: Plate 10,000 cells ldlA[mSR-BI] 30 ul/ well in Ham's F12/10% Fetal bovine Serum/Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine. Use Aurora clear botttom, black walled, image quality 384 well plates. Incubate overnight at 37 degrees Celsius in 5% CO2, humidified cell culture incubator. Day 1: 1) Remove media with aspirator. 2) Add 30 ul Ham's F12/0.5% Bovine Serum Albumin (fatty acid-free)/25mM HEPES pH 7.4 + 10 ug/mL DiI-HDL with Thermo Combi fluid dispenser 3) Pin transfer 100 nl compounds, DMSO (neutral controls) and 1 uM BLT-1 (positive control). 4) Incubate 3 hours @ 37 degrees Celsius in humidfied cell culture incubator 5) Remove media with aspirator, wash 2x with 1x PBS (containing Mg & Calcium). Dispense of PBS is done with Thermo Combi on slow setting to minimize disruption of cell monolayer. 6) Analyze DiI-HDL uptake with 'Envision' Bodipy TMR mirror #405, Excitation filter is Photometric 550 (#312) and emission filter is Cy3 595 (#229) with bottom read Comment PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC; n=36) and positive control wells (PC; n=36) were included on every plate. EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal. ACTIVE CONCENTRATION LIMIT: For each sample, the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration) was determined and the active concentration limit (AC_limit) was set to equal (10)(Max_Concentration). NORMALIZATION: The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls Minus Inhibitors' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3): The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral control wells was set to a normalized activity value of 0. The median raw signal of the intraplate positive control wells was set to a normalized activity value of -100. Experimental wells values were scaled to this range. PATTERN CORRECTION: The plate pattern correction algorithm 'Runwise Pattern (Multiplicative)' in Genedata (v7.0.3) was applied to the normalized plate data. MEASUREMENT USED TO DETERMINE ACTIVE CONCENTRATION (AC): AC50 AC values were calculated using the curve fitting strategies in Genedata Screener Condoseo (7.0.3). AC values were calculated up to the active concentration limit described for each sample. pAC was set to equal -1*log10(AC) PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME: Activity_Outcome = 1 (inactive) when: a) compound shows activity but in a direction opposite to the expected outcome in these cases, values describing curve fitting parameters (Sinf, S0, Hill Slope, log_AC50, log_AC50_SE) are set to null b) curve fit is constant where activity is > -30% and < 30% at all tested concentrations, or c) AC > AC_limit Activity_Outcome = 2 (active) when: AC <= AC_limit Activity_Outcome = 3 (inconclusive) when: a) Curve fitting strategy resulted in a constant fit with activity >= -70% but <= -30%, or b) The fit was deemed not valid due to poor fit quality. PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE: If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 1 (inactive) or 3 (inconclusive), then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0 If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2 (active) then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = (10)(pAC) Scores relate to AC in this manner: 120 = 1 pM 90 = 1 nM 60 = 1 uM 30 = 1 mM 0 = 1 M When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be greater than the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration), the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using Max_Concentration as the basis. When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be less than the lowest tested concentration, the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using the lowest tested concentration as the basis. Note: The individual dose data point columns ('Activity_at_xxuM') reported here represent the median of valid (unmasked) replicate observations at each concentration. These values are the inputs to a curve fitting algorithm. All other data columns represent values which are derived during the curve fitting algorithm; this may sometimes include automatic further masking of some replicate data points. Occasionally this results in perceived inconsistencies: for example, between the derived 'Maximal_Activity' and the apparent most active data point.

Memo regarding three bombings in McComb, Miss.; June 22, 1964 Transcript June 23, 1964 Three homes of Negro citizens were bombed yesterday in McComb, Mississippi. Nobody was injured. Officials of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) said that the most serious incident took place at the home of Fred Bates, Pike County chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). A boarder at Mr. Bates' home said she saw a car drive up to the house about 10:20 p.m. last night. A man fumbled in the back seat, and then got out of the car holding a package. He threw the package at the house. The boarder shouted to Mr. Bates and another roomer and told them to get to the back of the house. Then the bomb exploded. George Greene, SNCC field secretary, reported that severe damage was done to the front of the house. The boarder said the car was a light green, four-door '61 Chevrolet. The other incidents took place earlier in the day. Dynamite sticks were found at the home of Corline Andrews, but little damage as done to her house. C.C. Bryant, another local Negro citizen, reported that his house had been bombed and that some damage was done.

Sasuke's Paw Encyclopaedia (サスケの肉球大全, Sasuke no Nikukyū Taizen) is episode 189 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Nekobaa hires Team 7 to gather the last paw on her Paw Encyclopaedia. The last paw belongs to Nekomata (a powerful giant ninja cat). Nekobaa gives Team 7 special cat ears so that they could enter Nekomata's fortress. Naruto lost his cats ears in front of two guard cats, taking advantage of it Sasuke and Sakura entered the fortress but they left Naruto behind. Sasuke and Sakura split in two teams to find Nekomata faster. After some time, Sasuke was able to find Nekomata before his team-mates. Sasuke told him to agree to give him a print of his paw, however Nekomata used his genjutsu on Sasuke. He was able to cancel it with his Sharingan. After that, Nekomata and Sasuke started to fight with taijutsu, just when Nekomata was about to crush Sasuke with his paw, Sasuke is saved by Naruto and Sakura who managed to find Sasuke. Sasuke revealed that he didn't need to be saved and he activated explosive tags on the roof that fell on Nekomata. Once Nekomata fainted, Team 7 printed his paw and took it back to Nekobaa. In the end, Itachi was revealed to have defeated Nekomata in the past, and had asked it to fight Sasuke one day with all its might.

- codenamev 2012/12/04 23:23:48YesPItt's a terrific actor and I know why this is a flop. The previews for KILLING THEM SOFTLY are advertising one film (Tarantino-esque crime thriller), and people are getting something else (meditative crime thriller amongst socio-political backdrop), hence the F Cinemascore. This is similar to the Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard comedy-horror THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, which, despite its 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, still received a C- via Cinemascore because people were led to believe it would be one thing and were upset when it was something else. I'm interested in just about everything Pitt does because he does take a lot of risks for a Hollywood Star, and it has James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta and Richard Jenkins. I'm not lining up, but I'll see it eventually.

The only movie i ever really liked from him was fight club, and that's only because Edward Norton (who by the way is actually talented) got rid of him at the end.

Nobody will notice it happen... most of it is accomplished already. The difference between owning the world and owning nothing is your ability to prove it. I can say I own anything I want but can I prove it...? There are 2 ways of owning something... Force and Title. Dictators take ownership of things by removing the ability of others to resist them coming to claim the property. Our current govt is removing our ability to resist more and more everyday..! That tells me the Illuminati have already taken over. Like i said nobody will notice it happen until they are unable to resist.
