Freelance Journalist/Producer in Cairo
Fine Fixer/Simultaneous Translator and Freelance Journalist in Cairo, Tanta, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, Port Said, Sinai, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt
Arabic <> English
There is a highly recommended fixer/translator in Cairo, Egypt
call: 0100-67-68-2-69
or email: email@example.com
Ahmed Seddik has worked with BBC, CNN, CBS, FT, Time Magazine, France 2…
I have hired Mr Seddik on two occasions – once in Egypt and once in Libya. On both occasions he was working as a translator and fixer for the BBC team. We were working in a high pressured environment, doing very long hours and I was extremely impressed with him. He has excellent English – better than any other translator I have worked with so far in the region.
He is confident in dealing with journalists and communicated with the people we interviewed in a respectful and friendly manner. He has a vast knowledge of politics and current affairs as well as the history of Egypt and the wider Middle East. This was invaluable both for interviews and in general conversation.
He is also particularly good at turning dry facts into fascinating anecdotes and was often able to entertain and educate us with interesting stories about Egypt's history. He is obviously passionate about the country, its history and culture.
What most impressed me about Mr Seddik however is his energy and enthusiasm, even after working for extremely long hours. Many other translators I have worked with have been irritable after working for very long hours, but Mr Seddik remained alert, cheerful and hardworking no matter how many hours he had done.
He was always punctual, courteous and is good at taking the initiative when needed.

I am a producer for The CBS Evening News, a national nightly newsprogram in the United States. In early February, Correspondent Terry McCarthy and I were sent to Egypt to cover the events of Tahrir Square, and we hired Ahmed as our interpreter, our guide, and what we in the news business call a "fixer" – that is, someone who can arrange the interviews we need, sort through the facts we want, and generally make our lives easier in a foreign country.
Ahmed was amazing. He helped us navigate through Cairo at a very difficult time with a combination of street smarts, great attitude, and an uncanny command of the English language. Also, there is no higher-pressure environment than television journalism, and we had Ahmed working for us about 20 hours a day for 3 weeks; he never failed to jump at the assignment and he never complained.
In Ahmed we found not only an amazing producer, but a great resource for all things Egypt. His offhand knowledge of Egyptian history, of pharaohs and antiquities, of hieroglyphics and pyramids is astounding. He can quote ancient Egyptian texts from memory. In many ways he was our tour guide and history professor on top of everything else.

COPPER POT PICTURES hired Ahmed Seddik to be our fixer when we traveled to Egypt in June 2012 to film WE MUST GO, our documentary about the Egyptian Football team. Though we had tried to sort out various rights and permissions prior to traveling to Egypt, it wasn't until Ahmed came on board that we started to see results. From permissions with the various football associations to permits from the Egyptian government to our daily transportation, Ahmed arranged everything. It was unbelievable. He is a motivated and capable fixer who assured that everything was taken care of prior to our arrival. Ahmed paved the way for a smooth shoot; we didn't have to worry about anything except doing our jobs. He met each new challenge and wrinkle to the shoot with a positive attitude and a willingness to see that our wishes were carried out. His services were invaluable. We have shot documentaries around the world and much of the success (or failure) for our projects depend on the talents of our local fixers: I am pleased to say that Ahmed is the best we've worked with and I look forward to a continued partnership on WE MUST GO and future Copper Pot projects shot throughout Egypt and the Middle East. My only hesitation in writing this glowing review is that I want to make sure no one else hires him when we need him!

I am a correspondent with BBC News, based in London. I worked alongside Mr Seddik for almost 2 weeks earlier this year when I was on assignment in Egypt. During that time I found him to be an outstanding
individual who would be an excellent asset to any organization.
Specifically he has an acute awareness of how the media works, the
demands that the modern media operates under, and the need to handle
such demands with clarity, consistency and integrity. His language
skills, especially his knowledge of English, are absolutely first
class and he has an ability to express himself in a manner that many
native English speakers would find difficult to improve upon. I have
absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ahmed Seddik.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Buchanan
BBC News
BBC TV's 'Newsnight' programme employed Ahmed Seddik as a translator,
researcher, fixer and guide for two weeks in Cairo in November 2011 and
found him to be a resourceful, highly-informed, hard-working and
invariably good-humoured colleague.
Ahmed has a vast store of knowledge about Egypt and its history, as well
as a valuable network of well-placed contacts in many walks of life. He
is a constantly engaging and informative companion and is able to work
calmly and effectively in highly pressured circumstances.
Ahmed was unfailingly cheerful and cooperative when required to work the
extremely long hours often required by TV crews. He is not only an
excellent interpreter/translator with an astonishingly rich and accurate
knowledge of English, but also a fixer with the imagination and
resourcefulness to contribute his own ideas.

BBC Newsnight
TIME Magazine's Cairo Bureau has periodically employed Mr. Ahmed Seddik for translating assignments since 2004. He has performed all his tasks with a high degree of expertise and professionalism. Mr. Seddik is also extremely well educated and informed about all aspects of Egyptian life, including politics, culture and society. In every way, he has greatly assisted TIME correspondents in their work.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Seddik's services, and would be delighted to receive any requests for further elaboration on my recommendation.
Scott MacLeod
TIME Middle East Correspondent(since 1995)
I had the opportunity to work with Ahmed Seddik last summer in Cairo, where I was temporarily based as a correspondent for Time Magazine. Though he clearly was far too qualified for the task, he cheerfully served as my translator for a couple of stories. I found him to be a precise interpreter, providing me with excellent translations of what was said in interviews, often a rarity where the need for speed overrides the desire for colorful, exact phrasing.
He also demonstrated a willingness to work long hours, and at the last minute. If I have the opportunity to return to Cairo, I will be sure to use his translation services once again.

Siamo stati al Cairo per un weekend lungo, purtroppo durante i disordini di
piazza di novembre, che ci hanno impedito di visitare il museo egizio a Piazza
Tahrir. Ma anche senza il museo, il viaggio è stato straordinario. Meravigliose
le piramidi e il plateau di Giza, bellissima la visita alle moschee e alle
strade del cairo islamico, entrambi posti che abbiamo visitato con la nostra
guida Ahmed Seddik, la cui mail era indicata sulla Lonely Planet e che abbiamo
contattato dall'Italia subito prima di partire. Ahmed ha fatto una grande
differenza: è affidabile, preparato, pieno di entusiasmo, appassionato di
storia, archeologia, letteratura, geroglifici e conosce i luoghi come le sue
tasche. Alle piramidi ci ha fatto vedere tombe delle quali non avremmo mai
capito neanche la presenza, ci ha portato a vedere un panorama strepitoso da un
posto un pò più lontano ma senza turisti, e ci ha pagato addirittura lui il
ritorno con il cammello come "regalo" di benvenuto. Con lui ci siamo
avventurati in posti dove non saremmo andati da soli, abbiamo capito tanto
della storia dell'egitto e delle piramidi e anche dell'orgoglio degli egiziani
di oggi. Insomma, posti meravigliosi, clima perfetto.. speriamo che la
situazione politica si tranquillizzi presto, perchè non vediamo l'ora di
tornarci e di portarci anche i nostri figli!

"You are a student of the finer point of the English language."
Hugh Sykes, BBC, the World at One
I have the privilege to recommend to you Ahmed Seddik as an excellent guide and efficient informant. I am fortunate both to have known Ahmed as a fellow student at the American University in Cairo and to have seen how he developed his college interests into his current profession. Although he makes guiding and lecturing his profession, Ahmed is a veritable renaissance man due to his passion for learning. He delights in learning various subjects and can claim expertise in many. Ahmed has a talent for drawing diverse connections from his numerous interests into any talk or tour. In addition to his tours, Ahmed makes good use of his talent in his frequent lectures on diverse topics at the Sawy Culture Wheel, a famous cultural center and academic forum in Zamalek, and elsewhere.
In the tours I have attended, Ahmed was lively, engaging, and spontaneous. Both the tour to the City of the Dead and Islamic Cairo were chock‐full of information, partly due to Ahmed's vast memory for fact and stories. On his tours each monument has a story and every side street is another step back in time. The tours I attended lasted about five hours each, although he has told me they can stretch longer or take less time depending on the audience. When I took the Islamic Cairo tour, we went the full length of the Fatimid city from gate to gate in four hours. His tour of Islamic Cairo is especially nice because it takes place in the wee hours of the morning. The streets of the Khan el‐Khalili are amazingly serene at that time, which makes for a stark contrast with the market's usual chaos. If you should take the tour make sure to see the inside of the mosque and madrasa of Barquq; Sultan Plum had an eye for beauty. On these tours, Ahmed is always thinking about ways to improve and innovate. For example, while leading us through the streets of Islamic Cairo, Ahmed thanked the street cleaners and pondered organizing them to keep the roads cleaner. Ahmed says he has never given the same tour twice. I believe it.
Ahmed's style of guiding and touring is not like that found on any other tour. It has more artistry in it than the others. But the faint of heart beware, he is more than half a poet. Emblazoned on his business card is the Arabic palindrome malik kalim, meaning "king of words." And certifiably, he can claim to rule his words. Ahmed is a possessor of a veritable treasury of terms and an arsenal of anecdotes. Don't think it tedious if he recites a list of synonyms or lines of poetry. Listen attentively. It is all part of the tour.

I am very pleased to recommend Mr. Ahmed Seddik of Ahmed Seddik Tours in his pursuit as an expert guide for ancient and medieval sites in Egypt. Not only does he have an outstanding knowledge of Egyptology and ancient Egyptian monuments (including ongoing excavations), he is similarly conversant in Islamic history, as shown in several tours of Islamic Cairo that we have conducted together. This is also clear in his very numerous, well-researched public lectures in Egypt on a wide range of topics within it—literary, historical and linguistic—many of which I have shared in personally. (An Arabist, my 2008 doctoral dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania, on fiction set in ancient Egypt by the late Nobel laureate in literature, Naguib Mahfouz, made broad, closely supervised use of Egyptological sources, and I have also extensively studied Islamic history, both at the University of Michigan and U-Penn.) His considerable acumen and insight extend far beyond these fields to also embrace Arabic literature, science and mathematics too. His masterful familiarity with the vast and intricate oeuvre of Ahmad Shawqi, "the Prince of Poets," is a great achievement in itself, and could only have been attained with his extremely erudite knowledge of Arabic grammar, syntax and vocabulary. Moreover, he is highly trained in English literature, grammar and lexicography, a most rare combination with such a background in Arabic, let alone Egyptology. Indeed, Ahmed is a genuine polymath in the truest sense of the word, and has educated himself far beyond what his formal studies at the American University in Cairo have taught him. As to his character, Ahmed—a natural showman, with a distinct (and very Egyptian) love of attention—is also extremely thoughtful and helpful to others. Our experience together, in which we have shared in delivering lectures (mainly on Mahfouz)—and even co-produced and performed in short plays (e.g., on the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb)—has been an extremely rich and happy one. I'm quite sure that yours, with this uniquely gifted human being, will be as well.

My aim was to take a break with a cultural and historic character. And having Egyptologist and tour guide Ahmed Seddik as my companion made my adventure unforgettable.
Amira El-Naqeeb, Travel Writer
A former Egyptology student at the American University in Cairo, the indefatigable and eloquent Ahmed Seddik makes even the history of bilharzia seem fun. Frequently booked as a translator/fixer by foreign correspondents, the 31-year-old freelance guide is also popular with expats and Egyptian parents who love his child-friendly tours of the Pyramids by camel. In addition to walking tours in the Egyptian Museum and Islamic Cairo, Seddik also does a tour of political Cairo, revisiting scenes from the revolution in Tahrir Square
Condé Nast Traveler Senior Correspondent
I think many here know Ahmed Seddik. He is a brilliant Egyptologist, an accomplished translator, and a masterfully gifted tour guide who leads tours year-round throughout Egypt in both English and Arabic.
Omid Ghaemmaghami
I went with a group to the Ramsees Wisawasef textile museum near Saqqara. Ahmed Seddik gave our group a short lecture on the meaning of "naseej" in Arabic. He spoke of theology, poetry and history. He impressed us with his knowledge of the Arabic poetic tradition. He knew scores of lines by Ahmed Shawqi. He certainly charmed me and my group. He quoted from dozens of poems that touch on the meaning of "thread" in Arabic literature. Ahmed was a wonderful guide whose love of puns, sharp wit and impressive memory were all qualities which made his lecture unforgettable.
Niko Banac
If you are wishing to source an Egyptologist, we would have no hesitation in recommending Ahmed. Our attention was kept by Ahmed the whole day, including our twelve year old! Ahmed is extremely professional, his knowledge and stories are outstanding and entertaining.

My guide for the day Ahmed Seddik is quite an original. A very slight, 30 something young Egyptologist who exudes brainy precociousness with a certain crazy charisma and a passion for alliteration and using pretentious vocabulary (though in a good humoured and fun way). He is a student and big fan of the famous Zahi Hawass – and has a personality and exuberance almost as big. He even dons a Zahi-like hat. Evidently he has been a journalist who has covered the revolution, an Egypt commentator called upon by BBC, CBS – and a translator of impressive works. Zahi II met me with three intelligent older Germans, two of whom were there from the German embassy. They were all sophisticated and bright and a pleasure to tour with.
Ahmed gave us a fabulously in-depth experience that lasted ALL DAY, 10:30 to 5 – and no-one even thought about lunch or a coffee break. We made a rare stop en route at the Unas's valley temple, king of the 5th dynasty, strewn with interesting remains of pillars and stone and the last strip of his long causeway.Few stop there…
Laura Ranieri
The world knows Cairo for its pyramids. But in my opinion Cairo's biggest jewels are its Islamic buildings. Historic, or Islamic Cairo, contains one of the most important collections of Medieval Islamic architecture in the world and is on UNESCO's World Heritage list. In a way it makes Cairo the Rome of the Middle East. Most of the monuments are mosques, palaces, mausolea, madrasas and private houses.
Since this neighborhood can be trick to navigate, with its winding and un-marked streets we decided to go with a guide—Ahmed Seddik—who would become our friend by the end of our stay in Cairo. His tour would take us from the Al Azhar mosque in the south to the Bab al-Futuh or northern gate of the original Fatimid walls.
The Al Azhar mosque is a quiet refuge from the traffic and horns of the busy neighborhood it sits in. We enter Al Azhar mosque through the Bab al-Muzayyin (Gate of the Barbers) where students came to have their heads shaved, between the truly giant minarets. Built in 970 at the height of the Fatimid period, it has been added on to over the years. The mosque the site of Al Azhar University, probably one of the oldest in the world, which is still in operation today. The inner courtyard is a quiet refuge from the traffic and noise outside. I find visiting mosques in the Middle East to be relaxing and enjoyable. Unlike Western churches which I can find to be sterile and austere—mosques I find to be a place for quiet reflection as well as a gathering place for the community.
We tuck into the Khan al-Khalili market, which sells all kinds of things, from tourist trinket to antiques. "How can we take your money?" ask the rather aggressive merchants. With tourism down in Egypt generally, the already pushy vendors are even keener on making a sale. We ignore them and move right to tea Fishawi's—a coffee shop/shisha (water pipe) establishment that was frequented by Cairo's literati, most notable Naguib Mafouz, Egypt's late Nobel Laureate. This was Mafouz's neighborhood which he immortalized in his books. It is still a local hangout, only there are more tourists these days.
We are lucky because it was a stormy day in Cairo. This doesn't mean it was rainy, only that the wind was gusty and blew the dust around. Cairo, despite being on the Nile is a desert city, lest we forget. This meant that what would ordinarily be a neighborhood packed with shoppers was relatively quiet. Many shops were closed. We make our way to Sharia Muiz, or the Palace Walk (also a Mahfouz novel), which will take us between some of the great mosques and palaces of the Fatimid period, eventually delivering us to our final destination—Bab al-Futuh.
Sharia Muiz is kind of magical street. Neighborhood life bubbles all around us. Monuments rise and fall on either side of us. If you use your imagination you can picture yourself in a Mafouz novel. Ahmed tells us about the buildings, architecture and history that we are seeing on either side, but it all begins to blend together into a wonderful tapestry of sights and sounds. The evening call to prayer begins and Ahmed sits us down to listen and experience the moment. I have always found the call to prayer to be beautiful musically—Allah Akbar (god is great) called out from the muezzin—trying to convince believers to drop what they are doing and come to the mosque to pray. In Cairo I experienced some of the most beautiful calls to prayer as any other Muslim city I've been, and this call was particularly beautiful…
"Micky and Mark have been the primary organizers for this trip and they found a wonderful tour guide for our time in Cairo. His name is Ahmed Seddik and he is the most delightful, smart and funny person you can imagine. He loves languages and speaks incredible English. He talked continuously without notes of any kind during our tours of the temples at Saqqara, the Pyramids and tombs in Giza, Islamic Cairo, and the City of the Dead—not just providing fascinating and encyclopedic information, both historic and modern, but peppering his monologue with puns and alliteration. The Giza tour culminated with camel rides from the pyramids to the Sphinx at sunset."
Caroline Moore
"Ahmed's pedagogical skills and talents are superb. His sharp wit and warm humor, coupled with his linguistic
brilliance, inspire and promote vast learning to take place in a short time. He seems to carry in his head
all 18 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary and the meaning and derivation of a vast corpus of Arabic
vocabulary. His facility with language, coupled with his powerful oration while lecturing, make him a superior teacher."
Bill Barazzuol
"Ahmed's expertise in Arabic in particular could be described as nothing short of masterful. He has committed to memory volumes upon volumes of the great Arabic grammarians such as Ibn Malik and his work of one thousand lines "The Alfia". What's more, Ahmed is able to distill these complicated rules of grammar into a clear, logical, and easily understood system of mnemonics, enabling any non-native speaker to acquire this difficult language in the shortest time possible."
John Solomon
"Ahmed Seddik is the brightest Egyptian I have met since I came to Egypt. I have found his Egyptological knowledge prodigious."

A person who displays courage and the will for self-sacrifice is described as a hero, and that is exactly the description given by the families of two miners killed Monday evening in a tragic mining accident.
Gary P. Hensley, 46, of Chapmanville, and Eric D. Legg, 48, of Twilight, were killed at Patriot Coal's Brody No. 1 Mine in Wharton after an apparent roof collapse.
Both men's families spoke to the Coal Valley News in an exclusive interview Tuesday afternoon.
"My dad and the other miner were special men," said Jessica Legg, daughter of Eric Legg. "It takes a special kind of man to go to work in an underground coal mine. They were both heroes."
Gary Hensley's son, Caleb, agrees.
"My father was a great man," Caleb said. "He was always very positive and had a happy outlook on life. He taught me to be strong and keep my chin up, even when facing tough situations. He always said, 'Do the best you can with what you have.'"
Jessica was especially sad when she explained her father's plans for the coming week.
"He was planning on getting married next Saturday," she said.
She said her dad, Eric, was a family man and loved spending time with his only grandson, 6-year-old Boston.
"Boston called his granddad 'Poppy' and they enjoyed being with each other," Jessica said. "Dad loved to hunt and fish."
She said her dad was working his last shift at the Brody mine.
"He had been called back to Black Oak and was going back," she said.
Jessica said her father had worked as a coal miner for at least 32 years.
"He has been a miner since before I was born," she said. "Everyone respected him for what he did and what he stood for. He was just an all-around good guy."
Jessica, 24, is Eric's oldest child. Eric also has a son Jacob, 21, a daughter Morgan, 17, and two stepchildren, Hannah Johnson and Colton Vint.
Caleb said his father, Gary, had only been a coal miner for the past three or four years.
"Dad was self-employed, and when he got this job he felt is was a great opportunity for him," Caleb said. "I don't think he ever wanted me to be a coal miner because it was a dangerous job, so I never really had an interest in it, but we all respected him for doing what he felt he needed to do to take care of his family and put food on the table. He was a great man and we will truly miss him."
Caleb said he also has three younger siblings.
Both families said the outpouring of love, support and prayers from the communities in which they live and surrounding areas has been overwhelming.
"We truly appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and kind words of support from everyone," Caleb said. "It means so much to us during this very difficult time."
Jessica echoed Caleb's sentiments.
"We are really thankful for all the love and support we have already received," she said. "We really appreciate it."
Funeral arraignments are pending, both families said.
State Rep. Joshua Nelson, R-Boone, says he has been in contact with both miners' families and created a website for donations to help the families.
"Folks, we have lost two of our own, two of America's best coal miners," Nelson said. "Let's help take care of our own and help the families. All donations raised will go directly to the families to help with any and all costs."

National team competitions
21-23, 15-13, 17-16, 21-16
Dino Pita's two foul shots with 11 seconds left finished his strong fourth quarter as Södertälje Kings held off Tampereen Pyrintö 74-68 at home in both teams' Group C opener of the EuroChallenge.
Pita scored 17 points while Toni Bizaca led the Swedish team with 23 points and Kenneth Simms collected 10 points and 15 rebounds. Lamonte Ulmer paced the guests from Finland with 25 points while Damon Williams tallied 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists.The first quarter featured 10 lead changes and four ties and Tempereen led 23-21 after the period. The second quarter had just one lead change and Södertälje were ahead 34-29 but went into the locker rooms deadlocked at 36-36.Bizaca scored two baskets in a 6-0 run early in the second half for a 44-38 Kings lead. And Tobias Borg helped keep the Finns at bay, 53-48, before Ulmer and Williams scored to cut the deficit to 53-52 going into the fourth.Tampereen grabbed the lead with the first four points of the final quarter but Adnan Chuk and Bizaca answered with back-to-back triples for a 59-56 Södertälje lead. Pita would nail back-to-back three-pointers and another long ball later to keep Södertälje ahead. And his free throws with 11 seconds left secured the victory.
Södertälje Kings head coach Vedran Bosnic"I am very pleased that my players executed exactly what we set out to do in both ends of the court. To keep the experienced Pyrintö team on just 68 points is a good result, which we achieved with a high level of intensity."
Södertälje Kings forward Toni Bizaca"Our team suffered on the boards in the first half, but we managed to adjust that after the break. Thanks to our tough pre-season, we are strong also at the end of games, and that gave os the win today."
Tampereen Pyrintö head coach Ville Tuominen"It has not happened that we score only 68. Especially our three point shooting was terrible. We were too soft on the court today and did not have the right energy. Together with bad communication in our defense when the game was to be decided, the Kings got away with the win."
Tampereen Pyrintö forward Damon Williams"It was a good game, but the Kings made the important shots at the end and we did not. That decided the game, but we must do at better jobb on loose ball situations and not put ourselves in situations like this."

The temporary shutdown of the federal government is affecting people across the country, but we cannot overlook its impact on those who have no voice—our nation's animals.
Right now, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is not performing all of its duties under the Animal Welfare Act: For one thing, it is not inspecting puppy mills or pet dealers. During this break in oversight, untold harm could be done to commercially bred animals simply because no one is empowered to monitor their safety.
"With limited resources and less-than-vigorous enforcement under ordinary circumstances, we know that the shutdown is a terrible blow to dogs in puppy mills," says Cori Menkin, Senior Director, ASPCA Puppy Mills Campaign. "Think of the mills that were scheduled for a follow-up inspection today to make sure serious issues had been resolved."
For more information about our campaign against puppy mills, please visit our No Pet Store Puppies website. And for a more in-depth look at how the government shutdown is affecting routine oversight of several other animal-related industries, please check back with ASPCA.org/blog tomorrow for a special report from our Government Relations team on the ground in D.C.
is the shiba inu in the picture above still in a shelter? if so can i have the contact info please
Jennifer -theres so msny Shiba at shelters
Check rescue websites
I didn't even think about the puppy mills inspections. Wow. What I was wondering about was, what was happening to the animals in the national & state parks? If the workers jobs were affected then, what is going on with all the animals?
Why are puppy mills inspected and not just shut down in the first place?
Excellent question Miriam. Why would we give these money grabbers a second chance? They will never change their ways. Their greed supersedes animal welfare every time! They should be shut down, heavily fined, do jail time and not permitted to own animals ever again! MAYBE then, they will recognize their faults!
Good question.....shut these horrible mills down AND make a registry of each & every one of them!
iT'S ALL ABOUT $$$ AND FUR TRADERS SKIN DOGS-ALIVE. IT'S SO PAINFUL FOR ME TO WATCH, THAT BOBBY HEARD THE 'DIFFERENT-KIND-OF-SCREAM IN MY VOICE, WHEN I ACCIDENTLY WENT TO A FUR TRADERS SITE-NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS HORRID PROFESSION-IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT A PROFESSION? KEEP YOUR HEART OFF OF YOUR SLEEVE OR...SIGN PETITIONS ! GET THE WORD OUT, IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS.
I am pretty disgusted with the fact that this country allows puppy mills to continue torturing and profiting from the suffering of these loving innocent babies they contribute thousands of dogs every day to our homeless pet population while our shelters are overflowing with adoptable healthy dogs that they murder even faster just for space . And WE PAY FOR THIS INSANITY with our TAX DOLLARS ? I can't help but wonder WHY ??? It defies all LOGIC and common sense !

The Landfall Tradition
The 13th Annual Collegiate Golf Tournament
Thursday, October 23rd - Sunday, October 26th, 2014
Supporting UNCW Scholarships and Golf Programs Since 2002
Tournament Video
The 2014 Landfall Tradition video is filmed and produced on Thursday, each year, by the UNCW Communications Department and is a wonderful demonstration of the spirit of the tournament.
13th LANDFALL TRADITION PRODUCES FIRST 3-TIME WINNER!
They had played in 11 of the 13 Landfall Traditions, more than any team with the exception of host UNCW. And, on a beautiful fall Sunday in October of 2014, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons became the first team ever to win three Landfall Tradition Championships. The win was especially impressive as it came against one of the best fields the tournament has ever had, including Alabama who finished second by four shots, and #1 ranked South Carolina, #5 ranked Duke, and #9 ranked Arizona. Notre Dame and South Carolina finished tied for third.
Coach Dianne Dailey's team was second after the first day of play, tied for the lead with Oklahoma State after day two, and finished strong on day three to win by four shots. And even though they had not won any tournaments in the past three years, winning here was not new to coach Dailey, as her team had won back-to-back Landfall Tradition championships in 2007 and 2008.
Individual tournament honors went to Ashley Holder of Central Florida whose three day score of a seven-under-par 209 beat Nanna Madsen of South Carolina by one shot and Emma Talley of Alabama by two shots. The top ranked player in the country, Leona Maguire of Duke, finished seventh.
Host team UNCW, led by junior Meghan Theiss, who shot a three under 69 on Sunday, finished in sixteenth place.
Many in the sizeable Sunday gallery thought this may have been the best Landfall Tradition ever. The field was especially strong with 9 of the top 21 teams on hand, the top ranked individual was competing, the Dye Course was in superb condition, and the tournament was blessed with three days of spectacular fall weather with temperatures in the 70's. Even a gusty wind on Sunday added to the enjoyment as players playing the par 5 eighteenth hole had the wind at their backs and could often go for the green in two. That day the hole yielded 6 eagles and a near miss double eagle when a second shot hit the pin and stopped two feet away.
And, of course, the great Southern hospitality for which the Tradition is famous was present in abundance. Players, coaches, and the many parents and local fans on hand could not voice enough praise for the over 300 volunteers who show up year after year to help make sure this tournament continues to rank as one of the finest in women's golf.
Congratulations to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and thanks to all who made the 2014 Landfall Tradition a huge success.
College-Am Tournament
The 3-day collegiate tournament will be preceded by a College-Am Tournament on Thursday, October 25th and capped off with a reception, Dinner of Champions, and an award ceremony. Foursomes are invited to attend this event and play a round with a team member from one of the participating schools.
Click here to learn more and sign up to play in the College-Am.
No tournament of this size and quality can be successful without a strong volunteer base. This has been a key factor in the tournament's success in the past.
Once again, we are looking for volunteers for the Fall tournament. We hope to welcome back volunteers from previous years but would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who may have an interest. Areas of need are diverse and schedules are flexible.
This is a fun yet important way to be a part of the tournament.

VANCEBORO – There's not much history to speak of when it comes to tennis at West Craven High School.
Second-year coach Danielle Senter, and her determined players, are doing their best to change that.
The Eagles have four wins, all in the Coastal Conference – the most victories the program has ever had.
They claimed wins over Jacksonville, White Oak, Havelock and Richlands.
"They really want to get better," Senter said. "They enjoy being out here and they know that if they don't practice, they don't do well."
The Eagles have two seniors in their top six, led by No. 1 singles player Meredith Jones.
In Jones' freshman season, West Craven had a team, but it was too late to schedule opponents. The following season, the Eagles didn't have enough girls to form a team.
Then last year, West Craven had a squad, but didn't win a single match.
"I'm speechless about it," Senter said. "When I walked into it, I never thought we would really be that competitive. They've impressed me. Our three losses, we shouldn't have had two of them."
The Eagles are proving everyone wrong. They are near the top of the conference standings midway through the season.
"It's really great to be apart of this, especially since this is our last year," said senior Bianca Gomez. "It's great that we get to leave a mark on the West Craven tennis team and hopefully leave a good team for next year."
Jones is challenging other team's top players, while Gomez is slated in the No. 2 singles position.
"Last year, when I was a junior going up against them, it was a lot harder because I didn't have a lot of confidence and I was really scared," Jones said. "This year, I go into the match thinking I am going to get it."
The biggest difference, Senter believes, is having the entire team back from last year.
Sophomore Kayla Smith has unlimited potential at No. 3 singles. Juniors Carlecia Kornegay and Hannah Peck are fulfilling their roles at No. 4 and 5 singles, respectively.
And until last week, No. 6 singles player Micahla Akers was undefeated in singles and doubles.
"Last year, a lot of them picked up the racket for the first time, just learning the game and had no confidence," Senter said.
"Kayla Smith has a lot of potential. It's just a matter of dedication to see how far she will go with it and Micahla's been tremendous."
Jones and Gomez have shown the leadership the tennis program has lacked.
Finally, they are reaping in the benefits of winning some matches.
"It's amazing to see how much this program has improved since the beginning," Gomez said. "It's amazing to be apart of it instead of being at the bottom of the barrel."
West Craven (4-3) returns to the court on Tuesday with a home match against Richlands.

Because shopkeepers try to be inclusive. There are several holidays that fall around the 25th. Hanukkah, Christmas, Ramadan, Solstice, and who knows what else? So rather than querying someone to find out their holiday (it's not like they have tags or anything), shopkeepers tend to fall back to "Happy Holidays".
So going shopping means you hear "Happy Holidays" more often than anything else. So we mindlessly mimic what we hear and say "Happy Holidays" to one and all. You really have to be thinking to make yourself say "Merry Christmas" or whatever holiday greeting you prefer because you're going against the tide.

Munster thumped Northampton 51-36 to finish the European Cup pool stage as the top seeds.
Simon Zebo scored a hat-trick and helped the Irish giants to a bonus-point win against last year's finalists. The result means that Munster have accumulated 25 points and regardless of what happens in Sunday's games they will go into the quarter-finals at the top-placed side.
Meanwhile in other European Cup matches, Bath ended a disappointing campaign on a high when they beat Glasgow 23-18 at The Rec. Scarlets edged Castres 16-13, Leinster overpowered Montpellier 25-3 and the cool goal-kicking of Ruan Pienaar wasn't enough to get Ulster over the line in the 19-15 defeat to Clermont. Leicester scored a bonus-point 33-6 win against the hapless Aironi

Appendix M2 to Part 226—Sample Calculations of Repayment Disclosures
The following is an example of how to calculate the minimum payment repayment estimate, the minimum payment total cost estimate, the estimated monthly payment for repayment in 36 months, the total cost estimate for repayment in 36 months, and the savings estimate for repayment in 36 months using the guidance in Appendix M1 to this part where three annual percentage rates apply (where one of the rates is a promotional APR), the total outstanding balance is $1000, and the minimum payment formula is 2 percent of the outstanding balance or $20, whichever is greater.

- "I see nothing but good things for you my boy..."
- ―Salvatore to Claude, one of the most famous quotes in GTA Series.
Salvatore's Called A Meeting is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III, given to protagonist Claude by Leone Family capo Toni Cipriani from Momma's Restaurante in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Leone Capo Toni Cirpiani informs Claude that the Leone Family Don, Salvatore Leone, has called a meeting at his Gentlemen's Club in Saint Mark's. Toni then informs Claude that he wants him to collect Salvatore's son and Underboss Joey Leone from his garage in Trenton and made man Luigi Goterelli from his club in the Red Light District, before returning and picking Toni up. Claude leaves in the limousine picking up Joey and Luigi, before returning to collect Toni. After Toni enters the limousine, the Triads attack, however, Claude manages to get the three to Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club. Salvatore greets his three guests, before pulling Claude to one side, telling Claude he sees a bright future for him in the Leone Family.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Head over to Joey's
- Pick up Luigi
- Pick up Toni
- Lose the Triads and get the three to Salvatore's
The reward for completing the mission is $15,000. Completing the mission unlocks the Chaperone mission, but disables existing missions from Luigi, Joey and Toni as they are attending Salvatore's meeting. Completion of Chaperone reactivates these missions.

Stanwood Lutheran church place of good works, gospel
Our Saviour's in Stanwood supports several efforts
Dan Bates / The Herald
With a lot of help, Tracy Ulrich started and runs The Caring Place in a small remodeled house in the parking lot at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Stanwood. It's just one of the community outreach programs sponsored by the church.

Among the items that members of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church brought with them to Kisii, Kenya, are surplus jerseys from the Stanwood Middle School basketball team.
She knows this, Ulrich said, because the congregation's overseas missions and local social service projects all are doing well. People in places such as Kenya and Nepal as well as north Snohomish County are getting the help they need, she said.
Our Saviour's Lutheran Church has been a part of the Stanwood-Camano Island community for 135 years. While it has Scandinavian beginnings, its 350 active members are a diverse group of people, Ulrich said.
"And we are enthused and excited about the work we as a church are doing," she said.
Fellow church member Dan Haskins, a Stanwood veterinarian, agreed.
"It's been great in the past few years to watch the doors open for our missions projects, both locally and globally," Haskins said. "It's not about doing good works versus spreading the gospel. Together, it's the natural outcome of our faith. People are happy to give of their time, talents and treasure."
Overseas, for example, church member Thor McIlrath got Our Saviour's involved in supporting an orphanage in Nepal called Amrita. The orphanage operates under the auspices of the Bellingham-based missions group Kidstown International, which also runs orphanages in Romania and India.
In Africa, the church helps with the Bosongo Community and Veterinary Agri-Project, which operates as part of the Christian Veterinary Mission.
Ravaged by AIDS, the poverty-stricken southwest Kenyan villages the Stanwood church supports are home to many widows and children who need help with their animals, water systems and gardens. The goal is to help families create their own self-sustaining source of income, said Ric Shallow, a church member from Camano Island.
The Our Saviour's congregation has paid for the construction of wells and rainwater cistern systems in Kenya. They help provide villagers with chickens, goats and seeds. They help send Haskins, the vet, to Africa to help keep the goats healthy. This year, Haskins was joined by Shallow and fellow church member Joyce Zeigen. They brought with them old, unused basketball jerseys from Stanwood Middle School, 12 pounds of vegetable seeds from Alf Christianson Seed Co. in Mount Vernon, veterinary medical supplies, soccer balls and the financial know-how to help people start their own small businesses.
In the past year, the Stanwood church also funded the construction in one village of a school building that doubles as a church on Sundays.
Making friends with the people in Kenya was the most important part of the recent journey there, Zeigen said.
"Building relationships is the basis of all development," Zeigen said. "It's the way to help people out of the depths of poverty."
Ulrich said Our Saviour's local mission projects also depend on relationships and partnerships with other churches and nonprofit organizations in the Stanwood area.
Among the efforts that her church supports with time and money are the Stanwood Food Bank, the Stanwood-Camano Christmas House, the Caring Place clothing bank, the Gathering free supper on Thursday evenings, the Spot after-school program, Safe Harbor Free Clinic and Housing Hope.
The Spot and the Caring Place are located in old houses next door to their church, Ulrich said.
The Caring Place, which doubles as the Christmas House in December, was rebuilt with the help of church members and the Skagit-Island Counties Builders Association.
Finished in November, Caring Place is open two days a week to provide free clothing to people in need.
"Rebuilding the Caring Place house was like a barn raising. It happened so fast," Ulrich said. "When I came back the next week to open it up, I stepped inside and said to myself, 'God did this.' It was great. I love working with Christians who are living out their faith."

Miami Hockey Postgame Quotes
Miami vs. Notre Dame
OfficeMax Hockey City Classic
Sunday, February 17, 2013
Soldier Field - Chicago, Ill.
Head Coach Enrico
Opening statement:
"It was a pretty good atmosphere out there. The people at Intersport did a great job organizing the event. Unfortunately, we didn't play our best and Notre Dame played very well and they deserved to win."
On the importance of
this big-stage Chicago venue for recruiting purposes:
"I think it's important for college hockey in general. Anytime we can put our sport and our product out there on that national stage and in a venue like we were today, I think it's important for our sport. Secondly, for recruiting our program has always been heavily involved in the Chicago area. We have players from Chicago and we've always had players from Chicago. It's a great city and they produce a lot of good hockey players."
On the ice conditions impacting the style of play:
"Both teams play an up-tempo game, so we both had to deal with it. I think they found a way to make plays and they had better energy. They had a little bit more jump, if you will, and they took it to us. We just didn't have an answer for it. We were not ourselves because of what they were doing to us. All credit goes to Notre Dame. We had a good game on Friday and they didn't have such a good game and today they had a better game than we did."
Senior defenseman
and captain Steven Spinell
On the experience of playing in his hometown at Soldier Field:
"Playing outside in front of over 50,000 people was a great experience, but you kind of lose a little bit of that when you lose the game. It was definitely great to be a part of this. We've just got to look forward to next week now."
Freshman goaltender
Ryan McKay
On the experience of playing at Soldier Field near his hometown:
"With tons of family here, it was a surreal experience. Obviously losing the game and whatnot definitely takes a lot away from the experience, but it was something I'll remember for a very long time."
On Notre Dame's first
"They were able to win the faceoff after a little bit of a scrum. They fed the puck over (to the middle) and I committed down early."
On Notre Dame's second
"It was a semi-breakaway. (Notre Dame's Costello) had the puck and there was another guy driving wide. They shot the puck on net and it went over to the other guy who scored."
Freshman forward Kevin
On the experience of playing at Soldier Field:
"It was pretty special for us. The idea of playing in front of so many people on a professional football field was obviously pretty cool. We've seen all the NHL players do it and to be a part of it was pretty special. It is a learning experience for us as far as league-wise goes. Every game is huge now. We're going to learn from it and just be ready for next weekend."
On the game itself:
"We turned it on at the end. But when you wait more than half of the game to turn it on against a great Notre Dame team then you're not setting yourself up for success."
On his goal in the
third period:
"(Marc) Hagel made a great pass and (Cody) Murphy distracted the net. It was a play where you just try to get the puck on net and see what happens."
Sophomore forward Cody
On the experience of playing at Soldier Field:
"It was an incredible experience obviously, like everyone's mentioned. Losing took a lot away from it, but being from Chicago and being able to play in front of my family is something I'll always remember. I'm very, very fortunate to have an opportunity such as this."

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Michael Dirda…a fine new translation, especially one by the widely acclaimed team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, offers an opportunity to see this great classic afresh, to approach it not as a monument (or mausoleum) but rather as a deeply touching story about our contradictory human hearts. Stressing that their War and Peace sticks more closely to the Russian text than any other, including Louise and Aylmer Maude's semi-canonical 1923 version, Pevear and Volokhonsky retain the considerable amount of French used by Tolstoy's counts and princesses, preserve the author's penchant for word repetition and aim to match his tidy syntactic conciseness. The result certainly reads smoothly, its English being neither egregiously contemporary nor inappropriately old-fashioned. In this respect, the Pevear-Volokhonsky War and Peace joins company with recent translations of The Tale of Genji, Don Quixote and In Search of Lost Time, these being among the few works of classic fiction equal to Tolstoy's in scope and richness.

Love these!
I love these invitations! We are getting married in Hawaii, and they are just the right combination of "island" and sophistication. We stuck with the original color combination, and they look great.
A great choice!
We are so happy we chose to go with save the date magnets. Our guests love them too because they are adorable but also useful. Since you can hang them on your fridge our guests are less likely to loose them which is great because we sent them out two years before the wedding as a reminder for people to start saving since the wedding is in Hawaii. The magnet looked great and we received them very quickly. I also loved how they came with their own envelopes.
Lovely magnet
I love these sea turtle magnets. I bought them for my Hawaiian wedding and I think everyone will love them. For the price and speed I was impressed at the quality of the magnet.
Very glad I found this website - from the free samples they ship to your personalized order, they arrived in pristine condition (and packaged so nicely) and with such great care! Other websites either don't offer a sample or charge you, Magnetstreet gives you three for free. In your sample order, they'll provide examples of the different stocks they have, so don't make my mistake in ordering the same card in different card stocks. Very awesome purchase, I will be back to order thank you cards for sure!
Really nice quality tags.
I really liked the way the tags turned out - I just wish there was a way to print something (one line under the turtle) on the back. Very quick shipping - great quality!

Wales ended Fiji's disappointing World Cup campaign with 66-0 hiding in Hamilton.
It was four years ago when Fiji picked up an upset 38-34 win over Wales to give the Dragons an early exit at the last tournament in France. However, so much has changed since that game in Nantes – and it could clearly be seen on the field and scoreboard.
Wales have showcased some great young talent, with wing George North, No 8 Toby Faletau and centre Scott Williams shining early in their careers, while key men in captain Sam Warbuton, inside centre Jamie Roberts and wing Leigh Halfpenny have set the example when called upon. Fiji only have three suriviours from the 2007 World Cup, and the lack of quality and team chemistry in the current squad was exposed.
Wales were dominant in the opening 40, securing their four-try bonus point before the break. With their forwards holding the ascendancy up front, the backline flourished as centre pair Roberts and Williams grabbed a try apiece inside the first quarter. North and Warbuton finished the first half rout while flyhalf Rhys Priestland added all the extras and a penalty for a 31-0 half-time lead.
Wales completed the whitwashing in the second stanza with another five tries. Roberts completed his brace while replacement hooker Lloyd Burns, wing Leigh Halfpenny, reserve scrumhalf Lloyd Williams and replacement centre Jonathan Davies also dotted down for a try tally of nine. The kickers played their part too, with Priestland and Stephen Jones finishing a flawless kicking display.
Fiji had opportunities to score, but their poor finishing they was met by a resilient Welsh defence. Wales also frustrated the Islanders at the breakdown, making 11 turnovers and conceding 11 penalties – which was enough to stifle Fiji's threat.

Saint Lucia is a British Commonwealth country that is an island in the Caribbean, off the coast of Central America. It lies between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago. The twin Pitons (Gros Piton and Petit Piton) are striking cone-shaped peaks south of Soufriere that are one of the scenic natural highlights of the Caribbean. St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide. The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.

This "skin" is awesome. It looks exactly like the picture and the image quality is fantastic. It was easy to apply and any bubbles that popped up were easy to smooth out. I ordered the matte finish and I love it! Doesn't leave any fingerprints behind, which is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend this product!!!Heather Durst, United States


text: My boyfriend and I broke up. Not sure if that's exciting or not. I honestly haven't been too sad. Like a little. But nothing like wanting to cry or anything. And each time my sadness lasts for like 20 minutes and I'm over it. His tweets on twitter are kind of pathetic, so that also helps me get over him faster.
