- Worldwide futures orders up 10 percent, up 13 percent excluding currency changes

BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE - News) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2011 first quarter ended August 31, 2010. Earnings per share for the quarter were up 10 percent on 8 percent higher net revenue as a result of gross margin expansion driven by the strength of the NIKE, Inc. brands in the marketplace and continued clean inventory positions.
"We had a great first quarter. It demonstrates the power of our growth strategy, which is to create innovative products, amazing brand experiences, and premium retail destinations wherever consumers connect with NIKE," said Mark Parker, President and CEO, NIKE, Inc. "Going forward we'll continue to maximize the flexibility, balance and alignment that we have built into our portfolio of brands and categories.

More importantly they help us leverage the global appetite for sports and innovation, which has never been stronger. That's how we continue to grow our businesses, strengthen our balance sheet and increase our returns to shareholders over the long term."*
Futures Orders
As of the end of the quarter worldwide futures orders for NIKE Brand athletic footwear and apparel, scheduled for delivery from September 2010 through January 2011, totaled $7.1 billion, 10 percent higher than orders reported for the same period last year. Excluding currency changes, reported orders would have increased 13 percent.*
By geography, futures orders were as follows:
Geography Reported Futures Orders, Excluding Currency Changes
North America +15% +14%
Western Europe -7% +6%
Central and Eastern Europe +8% +14%
Greater China +25% +23%
Japan -8% -14%
Emerging Markets +21% +24%
Total NIKE Brand +10% +13%
First Quarter Income Statement Review
Revenues increased 8 percent to $5.2 billion. Excluding the impacts of changes in foreign currency, NIKE, Inc. revenue increased 10 percent. Revenues for the NIKE Brand were up 8 percent on a currency neutral basis driven by growth in each of the seven NIKE Brand categories: Action Sports, Athletic Training, Basketball, Football (Soccer), Running, Sportswear and Women's Training.
Excluding currency changes, revenues for our Other Businesses increased 16 percent as Cole Haan, Converse, Hurley, NIKE Golf and Umbro all experienced growth during the quarter.
Gross margins improved 80 basis points to 47.0 percent due to growth and improved profitability from Direct to Consumer operations, fewer and more profitable close-out sales and improved in-line product margins. These factors more than offset margin pressures resulting from changes in foreign currency and higher airfreight costs to meet strong demand for NIKE Brand products.
Selling and administrative expenses were up 8 percent to $1.7 billion due to planned investments in demand creation spending, which increased 23 percent to $679 million primarily as a result of marketing expenses incurred for the World Cup and World Basketball Festival. Operating overhead spending was $994 million, in line with last year, as investments in our Direct to Consumer business and key brand events were offset by changes in stock-based compensation expense.
Other expense was $7 million, comprised largely of non-recurring items which offset net conversion gains primarily on currency hedges. For the quarter, we estimate the year over year change in foreign currency related gains included in other expense (income), net combined with the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of foreign currency-denominated profits decreased pretax income by approximately $33 million.
The effective tax rate was 26.0 percent compared to 24.7 percent for the same period last year primarily because a larger percentage of pretax income related to operations in the United States, which has a higher effective tax rate than operations abroad.
Net income increased 9 percent to $559 million and diluted earnings per share increased 10 percent to $1.14 reflecting an approximate 1 percent decline in the number of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
August 31, 2010 Balance Sheet Review
Inventories for NIKE, Inc. were $2.2 billion, down 3 percent from August 31, 2009.
Cash and short-term investments at period-end were $4.7 billion, 29 percent higher than last year mainly as a result of higher net income and continued focus on working capital management.
Share Repurchases
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 7.3 million shares for approximately $517 million as part of the Company's four-year, $5 billion share repurchase program, approved by the Board of Directors in September 2008. As of the end of the first quarter the Company has purchased a total of 13.9 million shares for approximately $971 million under this program.
Conference Call
Nike management will host a conference call beginning at approximately 2:00 p.m. PT on September 23, 2010, to review first quarter results. The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed at www.nikebiz.com/investors.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - JULY 16: Head coach Bruce Arena of the LA Galaxy looks on from the bench against the New York Red Bulls at Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands on July 16, 2009 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images for New York Red Bull)
LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has refused to rule out the possibility of a deal being done for Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard. The MLS outfit have been strongly linked with the England international ever since it became apparent that Lampard would not be offered a contract extension at Stamford Bridge. The Galaxy have a place available in their squad for a 'designated player' following the departure of David Beckham. Lampard has been touted as an ideal candidate to fill the void, and Arena concedes that the 34-year-old midfielder does appeal. He has been reluctant to speculate on the likelihood of an agreement being put in place, but has fanned the transfer flames with his latest comments. Arena said: "I wouldn't be surprised if over the next week or so we're going to have some sort of decision with a designated player. "We wouldn't rule a move for Lampard out. It's always a possibility."

Thank you to everyone who attended the Round 2 Fair on March 14 and March 15 at Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Campus. Please remember that your Round 2 application is due to your guidance counselor on Friday, March 20!
1. How do I apply for Round 2?You can list up to 12 program choices on your Round 2 application. Students who did not receive an offer in Round 1 will find the Round 2 application with their Round 1 results letter. All students can request a copy of the application from their school guidance counselor or Family Welcome Center
2. When is the Round 2 application due?The Round 2 application is due back to your guidance counselor on Friday, March 20.
3. What is the difference between Round 1 and Round 2?In Round 1, you can apply to any program for which you are eligible which means you are in the program's admissions priority groups as listed on the school's page in the High School Directory. In Round 2, students must review the Round 2 Program List as not all programs have availability. Please note that the nine Specialized High Schools are not included in Round 1 or Round 2 applications, and you cannot apply to Specialized High Schools in Round 2.
4. Can I apply to any program?Review the Round 2 Program List to see all programs with availability in Round 2. Availability varies vary by grade level (ninth or tenth), admissions method, and type of offer available (general education, students with disabilities, or all), so read through carefully to ensure you are eligible for programs you are interested in.
5. I received an offer in Round 1. Should I apply in Round 2?Students who received an offer in Round 1 and are interested in other programs are welcome to apply in Round 2. A Round 2 offer will replace a Round 1 offer: if you change your mind after receiving a Round 2 offer, your appeal to get your Round 1 offer back will not be considered. If you do not receive an offer in Round 2, you keep your Round 1 offer.
6. What if I do not receive an offer to a program in Round 2?
If you received an offer in Round 1 and you then submit a Round 2 application and do not receive an offer from one of your application choices, you will retain your Round 1 offer. In other words, if you do not receive a Round 2 offer, you keep your Round 1 offer.
If you did not receive an offer in Round 1 or Round 2 from one of your application choices, you will be assigned a high school program with availability as close to your home as possible.
7. Should I apply to the same schools in Round 2 as I did in Round 1, if they have availability in Round 2? Students can apply to any program that has availability for their student group. If you did not receive an offer to one of your choices in Round 1, here are some things you can do to increase the chances of receiving an offer in Round 2:
Include a variety of admissions methods on your application
Apply to schools in which you are in a higher priority group (e.g. Priority 1)
Add more choices on your application; at least 9 choices is recommended, but you have 12 choices on the application
8. Is my zoned program guaranteed in Round 2?Zoned guarantee programs offer a guarantee to students who live in the zoned neighborhood. Students must apply to the program by putting it on their Round 1 or Round 2 application.

Sensing political hurdles for foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail in India, world's top retailer Wal-Mart is focusing on cash and carry (C&C) format of retailing.
Wal-Mart India, the wholly owned local subsidiary of Bentonville, US-based firm, will add 50 wholesale outlets in India over the next four to five years, taking the total to 70 by 2019.
Scott Price, president and CEO, Walmart Asia, said the company is committed and excited about its growth plans in India.
"We will continue to focus on cash and carry format as we are very happy with the way it has shaped up in the last few years. The format is also poised to grow in India and we would like to serve the growing customer base," said Price, adding that its e-commerce platform will be extended to C&C members with a virtual shopping opportunity.
The cash and carry stores serve the bulk buyers like hotels, caterers, traders and other business professionals which are registered with the outlets.
While refraining from divulging financials, the company said it will continue making significant investment towards supply chain infrastructure and supplier development.
Wal-Mart India currently operates 20 wholesale stores under the 'Best Price Modern Wholesale' brand with presence across the country except North East.
With competition getting intense in the wholesale format of retailing in India, Reliance Retail, part of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd, is also expanding its footprint under Reliance Market brand. The company has more than 20 Reliance Market stores in over 15 cities across the country and a registered membership base of over 1 million. It recently entered the Mumbai market by opening its first C&C store at Thane.
Not sharing specific details on its new store openings in the coming years, a Reliance Retail official said that Reliance Market follows the inclusive growth approach and is aimed at sharing benefits of its strong sourcing capabilities and supplier relationships with a large network of kirana owners. "Extending the benefits of our cash and carry business to this segment of consumers across the country is integral to the retail business," the official said.
The Wal-Mart India's existing 20 stores were part of the equal joint venture, Bharti Walmart, the US retail giant had set up with Indian partner Sunil Bharti Mittal's Bharti Enterprises. Wal-Mart India bought out Bharti's stake in the JV in October last year for an undisclosed sum and has been independently operating the business thereafter.
While focusing on growth since going solo, Wal-Mart India is taking several steps to strengthen compliance to ensure everything is done in the right way.
"We are evaluating and reinforcing procedures and programmes relating to all compliance areas, including licensing and permits, food safety and responsible sourcing, among others," said Price.

General Comments
Since I received a Kodak EasyShare C330 digital camera this morning (Christmas 2005), I have not managed to take one photo in any way near satisfactory focus. I am a very experienced photographer. My previous Digital camera was a Kodak 280, which performed very well. I am highly disappointed with the C330! I have tried all the settings in SCN, auto, and other preset configurations, with no great results.
I can not see any apparent damage, but perhaps I got a bad one.

Kay leads Cincinnati over Duke 48-34 in Belk Bowl
CHARLOTTE, N.C. All Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendon Kay wanted was one more chance.
He got it thanks to Cincinnati's defense.
The Bearcats forced Josh Snead's fumble at the Cincinnati 5 with 1:20 left and Kay threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce with 44 seconds to go, lifting Cincinnati and interim coach Steve Stripling to an improbable 48-34 win over the Duke Blue Devils on Thursday night.
"We were figuring we might get one more shot as an offense and when we got the fumble we looked at each other and said we've worked way too hard to quit now," Kay said.
Kay, who set a Belk Bowl record with four touchdown passes and was named the game's MVP, called it a "huge win" given the adversity the Bearcats faced after losing coach Butch Jones and their two coordinators three weeks ago.
"It's really been chaos for the last month ... pure chaos," Kay said. "We've played it off as it hasn't been, but it was pure chaos from the time we found out (Jones) he was leaving."
Almost as chaotic as their latest win.
It looked as though the Bearcats were about done when Duke was deep in their territory and looking for the go-ahead score with 1:20 left in the game.
But Snead fumbled and Kay capitalized with his go-ahead pass to Kelce. Nick Temple capped the wild finish with a 55-yard interception return with 14 seconds left.
Kay quickly took advantage of the change in momentum after the Snead fumble, finding Kelce down the middle on a seam route. Kelce got behind the Duke defense and caught the ball in stride, racing the final 60 yards to the end zone as Blue Devils fans looked on in stunned silence.
It was a play called Left Texas 60, Y Go Burst, with three receivers running seam routes.
"I threw the ball and I was just hoping he would turn and look," Kay said. "He wasn't looking until the last second and it worked out great."
Kay also threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Ralph David Abernathy, and 25-yard scoring strikes to Anthony McClung and Chris Moore. George Winn also ran for a 46-yard touchdown for Cincinnati.
"I felt like a point guard dishing out the ball," Kay said. "The guys were making plays."
Cincinnati (10-3) finished with its fifth 10-win season in six years.
"That was one of our goals," Stripling said.
Duke quarterback Sean Renfree threw for 358 yards - another Belk Bowl record - for the Blue Devils (6-7), who were seeking their first bowl win since 1961. Conner Vernon, the ACC's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, had 10 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in his final game for the Blue Devils.
But the big play for Duke was Snead's fumble.
"It's heartbreaking because we wanted to win this game for our seniors," Snead said. "But as a team, we're going to learn from this and build off the momentum from this. I've got great teammates. They encouraged me to keep my head up. If you have a little adversity, you've got to face it."

This weekend in Seattle Kevin Windham won his 17th career Supercross race on what could easily be considered one of the toughest tracks of all time. The veteran racer has no plans of hanging it up anytime soon, saying he plans on racing until 2014. MotoUSA caught up with Kevin yesterday afternoon at his home in Mississippi.
K-Dub won his first race in two years on a brutal track in Seattle. Can he get another in Salt Lake City?
Kevin, first off, congratulations on your win Saturday night.
Thank you. It was just an incredible night. We had been close; the GEICO Powersports team had been closing in on it. To finally get it done near the end of the 2010 season and the way 2009 went for us, it just really feels good to get one and to look forward to the next two. I'm looking to finish out the season with some steam.
It seems you had been on the edge of getting a win for a while. You have been killing it in practice and had a few podiums. Did you think it was just a matter of time this season?
It kind of felt like we were close, and sometimes when you haven't won in a while, going back two years for me, it starts getting tougher and tougher. I think a lot of it for us was we weren't giving ourselves a good opportunity from the start. I wasn't getting great starts, and coming from behind is tough. We made a clutch change going into that weekend (Seattle), and the team was confident in the change. It was a little bit stressful because we didn't get a good chance to test it with the abbreviated practice schedule and track conditions that wasn't a mud race but wasn't dry by any stretch of the imagination. We went into it with me trusting their expertise, and it worked. We got two holeshots and won the race.
Windham led the main event from the get-go, grabbing the holeshot and never looking back.
Take us through the race. You blasted the holeshot and then gapped the field pretty good. It looked like everything clicked for you that night.
It's crazy. I was talking to the team after the race, and I was saying that I finished some of the races this year feeling like I rode some of the hardest races of my career and just mustered up a sixth. You have those races that are hard, and you don't get the position you think you were capable of getting. And then all of a sudden you have a weekend like this weekend where, honestly, just from start to finish there were no problems. You hate to say it was easy; it's never easy. The track was treacherous, even on the 20th lap it was like, "don't blow it in this whoop section." But in hindsight, the wins usually come easier than the place you would think it would be easy. Looking back, it was a great weekend for us.
In Seattle you told me about your plan to continue racing until 2014. By then you'll be racing guys that weren't even born before you started racing professionally.
It's already that way; well, just getting there with the current round of Lites riders. When I talk to Trey Canard and Barcia, I think those are the last of the generation of riders that were alive when I started racing pro. I've already started thinking about that, and it's funny talking to these kids that don't even remember some of my Lites wins because they were too young . I take it as a testament to my career and I feel blessed to be able to still be out there doing what I love.
So what's your secret or motivation to be this successful for this long?
With a plan to race until 2014, we could see Windham on the podium a few more times before he retires.
This sport is tough. When you look back at the things I was doing as a 16-year-old kid from a 30-year-old's perspective, I felt like I was a man. You know, going to France and Japan racing and making way more money than a 16-year-old should be making, it's crazy. But when you're dealing with a sport that calls you old when you're 30, you have to start at an early age. The things that I've gone though and the changes in life that happen growing up from 16 to 32 is a big gap, and I've done a lot of changing. I'm just lucky to have weathered the storm. I've made some terrible decisions in my career. Some of them were because I was young, and you have to kind of mess up sometimes to come out on the backside as a stronger person. Right now, to answer your question, why am I still up here is fear. I don't want to be a new person. I've been a motorcycle rider since I was three. When I lose that, I'm losing a huge part of my life. I think I'll find a way to deal with it by sticking around in some fashion. The proof is in the pudding with team managers like Roger DeCoster, Eric Kehoe, and now Mike LaRocco doing our team; it's very apparent whatever it is that gets us into the sport runs deep, and it's something that you really can't get rid of.
So do think having the experience of being a former racer helps in being a team manager? Having them know what it's like to line up and lay it on the line?
It's hard to say you couldn't be a team manager by not having a racing career of some sort, but I can tell you a lot of times in our sport it's not necessarily about the numbers. It doesn't always have to make sense. It's just the passion and the love for what you're doing. Nine times out of ten that's what gets you through. It's a really die-hard group of people who are very passionate that take the cake whenever you are trying to get the job done.
Windham's opening ceremony rides always gets the crowd pumped up for the night's events.
It seems like you really enjoy the opening ceremonies, just as the crowd enjoys your part in them.
I do, and I really take pride in my opening ceremonies. The nose-wheelie has been around for a long time, and the crowd really enjoys it so I'm going to continue to do that. Recently it's funny; I'm walking the track and looking off to the side. Our team manager will be looking at me like, "What are you looking at?" and I'm like," I'm trying to plan out what I'm going to do for opening ceremonies." There's the whole aspect of racing and the preparation trying to win, and then there's the opening ceremonies thing. It's an opportunity to let my hair down and do whatever I want. To hear the feedback from the fans, it just feels good. They're out there for the love of the sport, and I want to try to give them their money's worth both during the race and during the opening ceremonies. I get so fired up, it's almost like I can't contain myself still to this day. With the fireworks, the announcements they do, the national anthem, and everything else that goes into the opening ceremonies it still raises the hair on the back of my neck.

Kevin could have won another round earlier this season, but played it too safe in the main event. Looking at the number of times he's been the fastest qualifier, though, he's almost sure to get more wins. I hope he does get into team management, and I'd also like to see him do some race commentary. I see a lot of similarities in Christophe Pourcel's style - maybe he'll be Kevin's mini-me.
Frank121 -Amen...
April 29, 2010 07:09 AM
One class act Guy. He has and will always be one of my favorite Riders to root for! I agree, it will not be the same when He retires! Hopefully when that day comes the AMA will officially retire the #14. ..... But for now keep kicking a$$ K-dub!

The Wells Fargo/NAHB Builder Confidence survey, for February, reported a historic drop in Builder Confidence.
Building Business
Building Business
Elon Musk, the founder of PayPal, the SpaceX project, and the promising new Tesla Motor Company, is the kind of entrepreneur you want to have in your neighborhood. He is the Bill Gates of his generation, creating good, high-paying jobs that will likely last for years.
Not so long ago basements were merely utility space, but those days are gone. Two projects presented in the September edition of Custom Builder include basements that figure prominently in their respective plans.
In the fall of 1998, I attended my first Benchmark Conference as a new senior editor on Professional Builder magazine. What struck me about the gathering was the camaraderie among industry competitors. It was a large group, about 300 attendees, and yet it felt like a small reunion of old friends. And, as our columnist Scott Sedam told me when I met him there, not only was it a reunion of old friends, but it was also a continuation of the same conversation—how to sell more, build better, build faster and drop more money to the bottom line.
Remodeling and custom home building are similar in that both are 'high touch' relationships. Not to say that production home building is not high touch; but there is a gap. People who build one-of-a-kind custom houses expect a lot of your time when they commission you to design and/or build their next home. Nobody wants to feel like they are 'owned' for any period of time, but if you were somehow able to crawl into the mindset of most clients, they feel like they 'own' a good portion of your time during the building process.
I had the distinct pleasure of attending the first Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) ever held in San Diego. Previously, it had been staged in San Francisco for more than 50 years. I was not sure what to expect this year, but the combination of a new venue and an improving market certainly netted a positive result.
I recently re-read Moby Dick and have to say that I was stunned by how vivid and modern it seemed. I felt transported to the streets of New Bedford, Mass., in the 1820s and to the decks of the whaling vessel Pequod. The clarity of the writing and its vibrancy are among the many reasons why Moby Dick is considered one of the Great American Novels, and Herman Melville, a giant among great writers.
My eight-year-old son was asked recently about what I do. After describing my activities, typing on the computer and talking on the phone, he finally told his classmate, "He's a magazine guy." I find this amusing because I don't think of myself as just a magazine guy. Frankly, the focus around our office is home building. We spend a lot of time at industry events, with our ears to the ground, attempting to discern movements in this incredible business. It's a big job.
Very few industry trade shows exude a raw enthusiasm and excitement like the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. Last month in New Orleans, the lift in the overall residential construction market was quite palpable. So I asked many of the show attendees how they managed through the downturn, and if they are seeing more and better jobs now that home building and remodeling are stronger. The number of kitchen designers and custom builders who challenged the premise of my question—that their businesses must have experienced a decline over the past few years—struck me.
Six months ago we asked Bob Toll, the executive chairman of Toll Brothers, how he saw the market recovery playing out. Back then the home building market was clearly improving, but the extent and path of the recovery were hazy. He predicted strong demand, very limited supply, and almost shockingly he projected that prices would double in two years. Toll, who brings a perspective honed by several downturns, is on target so far.

I see a lot of worries and concerns about things like Cash Shop, money woes, grinding, and just recently the squishy/underpowered-ness of mages, specifically the Mesmer. The beta is just about wrapping up, so I'm going to post some screenshots of what I've accomplished over two beta weekends, just from playing normally. No cash shop or grinding, just exploring, crafting, and participating in events I came across. Keep in mind my weekends are free, so someone who works or is otherwise busy will take longer than about a week to do this, but just the same.
First up, gear! Note that this is the only image I will include in this post, click the provided links for more. Saves lower end computers exploding from tons of images:
Aren't I purdy? That is 3 pieces (chest, legs and shoulder) of the Divinity's Reach Cultural armor, which are 1 gold a piece:
If anyone is wondering, I used the free transmutation stones we got to combine that with my crafted level 35 armor, which I managed to make a full set of, including weapons. Jewelry provided graciously by a friend:
I actually had the stuff for 40 gear, except for the rare mob drops which don't really exist yet, seeing as those mobs aren't in the beta. They're super rare drops from lower enemies, but the whole point is to avoid grind so, 35 gear was what I used. By the way as you can see from that item menu, I am level 42, with 800 armor, well over 6k health and almost 1k attack. Crit chance is pretty nice, too. After crafting everything, leveling my crafts, buying the 1g per armor and throwing money at alts to play around with, I still ended up with over 1g left over. At this point, I really had nothing to spend it on, so it'll just sit there until the next beta. Moving on!
I leveled both Tailor and Artificer to the beta soft cap. It's 'soft' because once again, they can go higher, but you need those mob drops which barely existed right now to make anything:
Artificer: http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t479/gaeanprayer/gw107.jpg
Tailor: http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t479/gaeanprayer/gw106.jpg
Yes, those are 12 slot bags that you can totally have 4 of. I never bothered to make them for myself, I never even managed to use up all the inventory space I already had. Being as I'm constantly breaking down items for craft mats, and can also right click and select "Deposit Collectible" to put them in the bank from ~anywhere in the world~, I never even managed to use up half of my inventory except when I was emptying lower level mats I wasn't using anymore to sell on auction. Which, by the way, I can also do from anywhere in the world. Reminder: need cash shop for none of this.
All of this and I still had plenty of time to do Ascalon Catacombs. Thrice!
You get the headpiece to your armor for the story mode. I did it twice, once in a pug and once to help some guildees. Then, I did explorable!
And got 41 of the currency you need to buy dungeon armor with. This is the one part that actually disappointed me in GW2. Initially, Anet said we'd get a token for one piece of armor per run. This is not the case anymore. For a full run, I got 41 tears, and each piece costs 100 tears iirc. And explorable mode? No joke. I don't plan on doing it again. That made the GW1 dungeons look like a walk in the park. Explorable mode is purely for the masochists among us. It was like Dark Souls, only without the uber death penalty. Although in GW2, you can't really 'out level' the monsters like you can in Dark Souls so, I guess it evens out.
Finally! How much of the world I've explored:
32%, and I haven't touched the Charr 15+ zone yet. There's actually a bunch of stuff there that's still bugged and I got annoyed with putting in the effort just for things to bug out and not complete, so I stopped trying. I'm about halfway to level cap, established myself in the world, defined my character, and I haven't even explored half of the world yet. That currently exists...keeping in mind that we're playing an older build that's missing a lot of content, namely 100% of everything sylvari/asura.
Cash shop wasn't touched for anything involved with the gaming part of GW2 itself, I spent the free gems on dye. I also did not sell left-over gems, in fact I bought more with my silver, just enough to get 3 more character slots so I could have one of every class.
And now I'm going to go catch up on all the sleep I haven't had since Friday...
edit - forgot to make links clickable x-x fixed.

Good job! I don't think I could do that on a weekend, now that I can't go without sleep anymore...
... but anybody who thinks that the xp/loot/crafting rates have been fucked with to promote cash shop has apparently not played any MMO in the past 12 years or so. D:
Even with plenty of sleep, I got level 32 and 22, and spent my free gems on fun stuff like... GLASSES.
Because I have a job, I'll totally be throwing cash shop money Arenanet's way, to grab a few character slots (Up to 8) and some of the awesome cosmetic items. :)

Hmm, I never got to the explore mode dungeons, only story mode, and that was hard enough for me :P Honestly, I think the dungeons in GW2 are a lot harder than anything I've seen in Dark Souls (although to be fair, I didn't finish Dark Souls yet. Got it like a week ago and just got the Lordvessel). In Dark Souls at least it is possible to play well enough to not take any damage at all.
Gold seemed pretty easy to come by. At some point I decided to put all items I wouldn't use (both crafted and found) on the Trading Post. Came back next day, 1.5 gold earned. If I had been doing this the whole time instead of just once, I'd have a lot of gold.
Must say I did fill my inventory all the way often enough though. However, usually it was full of armor/weapons I didn't/couldn't use, junk, salvage items, crafting mats. So maybe it was possibly sort of a little bit kinda my own fault.
I used the cash shop to get that nice pirate outfit. The outfit costs 700 gems, and we got 500 gems for free, so I needed only 200 more, which cost me 24 silver (a mere fraction of what I had).
"I'll lead, you follow."
I didn't have to like, not sleep, actually. I just woke up far earlier than I'm used to, lol. Not even Guild Wars 2 is worth causing potential harm to the body, but I usually limit sleep to about 4-5 hours on the beta weekends to try and get as much out of the betas as I can. But that just goes to show how reasonable progression is in the game; gameplay-wise, it's a challenge, but progression-wise it all happens very naturally. Crafters will be thrilled, I actually stopped trying to level around 37, but ended up hitting level 40 just from crafting. The rest of the levels were from Ascalon Cata and helping friends and guildees out with their stories and events.
As for the inventory, you get tons of loot, so you need to be managing it fairly consistantly. You could have tons of bags and that wouldn't change, the Guild Wars series has always been very generous with loot, comparable with aRPGs. Perhaps it's because I played GW1 for so many years that I knew what to expect, and how to handle it. Don't just let stuff sit in your inventory, that's actually not what it's for; break it down into craft mats if you don't need it/can't use it (unless it's particularly good) then either deposit the mats for later crafting or sell them to people who will use them for money.

GW2 will have a hard time profiting to the degree that other MMOs do, even if it has a huge following, just because the item shop is literally unecessary. They pulled it off with GW1, but GW2 is a much bigger and more involved game. They keep removing things from the item mall people don't like, even the whole dye seed thing (not dye also drops from mobs and are instantly usable), but if they start feeling like they can't win with the community either way, they might be less inclined to listen to it.

I'm inclined to agree with this, mainly because there's also a reliance on the other people in the team. It truly takes only one less experienced person to ruin the run for everyone. I had to fight the urge to scream at someone in our team who made much of the boss fights go on longer than necessary, because they'd keep dying and also didn't utilize their skills synergetically with the team. In DS, it's all on you, but GW2's dungeons bring group coordination to a whole new level of necessity.
That's actually, in part, a criticism from me. Story mode is doable in a PUG...barely, but you can do it. Explorable however, will leave most people so flustered and frustrated they'll either give up, or the run will last for many hours, which it shouldn't. There is literally no elbow room for error, first strike and you're out. In other words, explorable mode isn't very inclusive, and it's content a lot of people won't get to experience because it's likely only guilds will run it and even then, only the top tier members. Fortunately, the rewards from the dungeon are not better than what you can get outside of it, but that too might be a problem for some people, the risk vs reward.
Should be noted however, that the fear that you'd need specific classes to run dungeons is completely unfounded. My first time was 2 necros, 1 eles, me (mesmer) and a thief. My second was 2 necros, 2 thieves, and me. My third was guardian, ele, 2 necros (there's a lot of necro players in the game >_>) and me. With the exception of the last team, our compositions were always full of very squishy people, and we made out alright.

Probably the biggest selling point for me with GW2, not needing a specific class for anything. Everyone is so able to take care of themselves, or will be once they get it through their head that GW2 is a game best played defensively. People keep loading up their skill bars with attack skills and putting all trait points into Power, then suddenly wonder why they're dying in 1 hit. Meanwhile even in dungeons my Mesmer was almost always the last man standing....a friggin mage, tanking long enough for everyone else to rush back so the boss didn't reset. Some of these players should be ashamed of their inability to adapt.
But yeah, just stand outside the dungeon or shout for a team and you get in one. I never waited more than a few minutes, and that's without any LFG mechanic. Yet.

I think I'd mentioned before heading up to Stockholm that I wanted to visit their home show called Hem 2007 (Hem is Swedish for Home). And I did! Ready to visit along with me? Good. Here we go!
Hem '07 was held at Stockholmsm?ssan, a huge trade fair center only a 20 minute train ride from downtown Stockholm.
Upon entering the exhibit hall, you turn right and enter the "Inspiration and Trend" hall, which is where I spent the day. There were other exhibit halls, but those mostly focused on appliances and such — all things that I have absolutely no interest in because if it won't fit in my suitcase, I figured I didn't need to bother. :) The Inspiration and Trend hall had lots of exhibitors with items you could purchase, so this was the ideal place for a design hungry girl to make a bee-line for. But first, I have to show you this beautiful restaurant to the left, it's called the The Garden and featured some of the best design elements, from the lighting (overhead) to all the Josef Frank fabrics that are so popular in Sweden.
I think every home has at least one throw pillow designed by Josef Frank, so if you're looking to mimic Swedish design in your own home, take note. You need something from Svenskt Tenn somewhere to truly be a wannabe Swede. :)
The first exhibit I enjoyed looking at was called "Up Side Down" styled by Synn?ve Mork for Elle Interi?r. I was excited to see that Elle Interi?r also had a booth where they offered current and back issues of their magazine for only a few dollars, it was heaven. I hope that American magazines hop on this idea and do the same in the big U.S. shows because I'm sure many would love to scoop up past issues for a good price.
As you can see, I clearly had no problem scooping up magazines. :)
I started to spot some trends, black, white, natural wood, metallic gold, and a few Asian finds. Nothing new but still fun to see.
I absolutely adored this light but couldn't find any information about it. I like the shadows it casts, it really captivated me.
These rooms (below) were created by Helena Sandberg and Jimmy Sch?nning, both Swedish stylists. The theme chosen was "Personality" showing three living rooms – one white, one black, and one in black, white, with gold accents. The black room felt unusually warm – the wood, leather, and wool felt contributed to that. Despite the nice design of this space, it didn't make an impression on me, I didn't connect to it on any level as I couldn't imagine living in a space like this at all. It felt a bit heavy and draining. Not for me. But the white on the other hand…
This was my favorite space of the three, the all-white living room, complete with a white vacuum, which I would definitely own. The eye is a photo tile (above) by Fotokakel, a company that had a booth at the show displaying their new photo tiles. You can take whatever image you like and they'll create tiles for your home. I think this could become a trend, but given that tiles are a long term investment, you'd need to carefully select your image because once it's installed, you can't easily change your mind.
I loved the ping pong ball light, it reminded me of a mini version of the Troy light designed by my friends Marcia and Paul of Zia-Priven. I also love this metal cut out chair in white. Oh so pretty!
{edit: found the name/website!} I couldn't help but notice the very Scandinavian style shoes on the staircase designed by Asa Westlund, they're called There Goes The Neighborhood. I've seen them in lots of Jeu de Paume books. I adore these shoes and I kept hoping I'd find a pair whenever I went shopping because I think they're just adorable. I would use them as a bit of a prop for my home, I think clothing and shoes can definitely add a decorative element if displayed in the right spot, don't you? I wonder how long before Anthropologie picks these up…
This is the Cosas booth, where I met fellow blogger Anneli Levin and purchased a Swedish horse and some Karin Eriksson ceramics. Anneli was so nice to meet, I've admired her blog for a long time so it was exciting to meet her in person. I didn't expect that Cosas would have a booth at Hem '07, so it was a very nice surprise for me to bump into her. Here's a grouping of images that Anneli took and arranged herself, I just love this collage and have to show you it. I hope she doesn't mind. :)
Cosas carries a popular ceramic cup designed by Anna Svensson, voted as one of favorites from this show by Elle Interi?r.
Along with this tray designed by Liebling (love their patterns). Here are a few shots of the Liebling booth, one that I wished I'd lingered at but by this point, I was starting to get a bit overwhelmed!
And this is jewelry designer (above) Catrine ?berg of Cooee, who helped me select a necklace from her line. Imagine two acrylic heart pendents, one clear, one silver, dangling on a long silver box link chain. I love it! In fact, I fell head over heels for all of her designs (you have to visit her website). Psst: She is actively looking to network with some stores in the U.S. to carry her line, so if you're a shop owner, contact Catrine and tell her that you read about her on decor8 since she knows who I am now (we met at the fair). Her jewelry was a huge hit at the show, the foot traffic was incredible, she's quite a popular lady!
Here's a room designed for a teenager that I liked by Jan Rundgren. I liked the lamp the best but again, couldn't find information regarding the source.
I couldn't resist snapping a photo of these gorgeous trays! I wanted them all. So hard to resist.
And these great chairs (above), designed by Carl Malmsten, were another favorite of Elle Interi?r at this show.
And finally, here are some pillows I liked from Kreativ Insikt. Not a lot of pillows at this show, or textiles, so it was a bit sad for me because I was expecting to see a lot of prints and patterns and instead I found mostly black and white.
Summary: Hem 2007 was a bit small and honestly, a little dull to be set in such an innovative capital city like Stockholm. Outside of what I've featured in this post, the many additional booths (not shown) felt very dismal and somewhat tacky even – and the room arrangements I saw did not inspire me so I didn't bother photographing them. I got the sense that other attendees they felt exactly the same, so I'm not alone in this. However, the fact that I had the opportunity to attend was extremely exciting and an experience I won't forget, so for me, it was worth it to be there. Plus, I was able to meet some nice people and see some beautiful things, so I can't complain too much!

No matter what you call them, pouffes, floor pillows, cushions, poufs — whatever — these beauties are the it accessory for the home right now, and I'm willing to bet into the new year and beyond. Loved for their versatility (foot stool, place to sit, or table), within reach pricing (at least most of the time), and overall cuteness factor, it's hard to go wrong with something so right. Take this felt pouf from one of my favorite designers, Chris Labrooy. How can you not desire one of these in your home?
With so many hunting for durable pieces that perform double duty without taking up much-needed floor space, the pouf is perfect because you can easily tuck one away beneath a table. I think they look so stylish and often bring in the pattern, color, or texture that a room needs – the icing on the cake. In all its available shapes and sizes, why not check out a few of my favorites to see if anything clicks with you, perhaps you'd like one for yourself? I've included a few inspirational images from Living Etc. so you can see them in actual spaces.
First off, the Morrocan pouf – it's the first thing I think of the moment I hear the p word. I love them in soft leather with the handstitched patterns, they're very bohemian I think, they have that come relax in my casbah appeal. White leather is my favorite, but a close runner up is pale pink and then the turquoise ones – or something in a pale mustard. Aren't these beauties from Graham and Greene the best? I like them around a coffee table for dining with friends. Also great for the patio in the warmer months, with candlelight of course.
This one from Shabby Chic is gorgeous, I saw it up close and personal in their new Boston/Natick store and it's worth every penny. Even if you do need several hundred pennies to buy one. :)
Of course, you can get them in felt too, which really appeals to those living in colder climates I think. Leather is nice, but if you live in a region that is cold for most of the year, then you may be more inclined to find something in wool or cotton. I like this felted pouf from Danish Bohema (a site I found thanks to Leah) because it has an embroidered pattern much like the Moroccan ones above. This one is made by En Gry & Sif of Copenhagen, distributed by Danish Bohema in the U.S. for $113 – which I think is a terrific price.
Shirdak out of the Netherlands also has some in felt showing off some bold ethnic patterns. I see floor cushions and poufs everywhere in decor over here, in all the magazines I flip through they're in so many rooms – and also in the homes of my friends.
The Alseda is another that I really like, it's a very affordable option for under $30 at IKEA and it's very natural – made from banana fiber so it's eco-friendly, too. Top it off with a silver tea tray set, Danielle from the Style Files uses hers for this purpose and I think it looks great near her fireplace.
Big on color and pattern? Although these are ottomans, they're a great alternative if you seek something soft with a decorative pattern. I like these three from Anthropologie, some are under $300 on sale, so click here for the full scoop on that. Or this floor cushion made to resemble an ethnic style pouf from Urban Outfitters for only $40.
And of course, some more pouf inspiration in case you wonder about how to place them in your home. They aren't just for the living room, you can use them just about anywhere you'd like.
And you can even sew a few up yourself. Amy Butler recently released a new pattern called Gumdrop Pillows, aren't these the best?
And blogger Yvestown from the Netherlands got her hands on a pattern and using fabric from Cath Kidston, she crafted one for her home. (By the way, if you like CK stuff, you can now order a catalog right here at no cost.) Yvestown said that many more gumdrops will follow, as she seemed to really enjoy making this one. Isn't it gorgeous? Here's her photo below. I purchased fabric from Amy Butler to make one for my own living room when I'm back in the states (a winter project).
Looking for additional seating options that are pouf-like? Try Fat Boy, Livingstones by Smarin (shown below), and Blog Beanbags.
Hope this pouffe post gave you some decorating inspiration for today. I know it did for me, now I have to reupholster my ottoman and make a few gumdrop pillows. :)
{Sorry blogging has been light the past day or so, I'm still getting settled here in Germany, our schedule has been nonstop since we landed. I'll see you tommorow!}
Interested in Moroccan decor? Here are a few pieces written by yours truly that recently went live over on HGTV.com, this time about, surprise, Moroccan style: Be Seduced by Moroccan Style and What We Love: Affordable Moroccan Decor.
A special thanks to Vanessa De Vargas of Turquoise L.A. for her contribution, and of course Maryam from My Marrakesh and The View from Morocco for the constant flow of inspiration as both bloggers report live from Morocco daily giving us an insider's view of this enchanting country.

Looking for a more intimate experience when you travel? I discovered Jewett Street in a comment left over at Apartment Therapy yesterday and thought I'd share. The idea of swapping homes isn't exactly a new one, but it's definitely more common, even considered trendy, making your stay in a boutique hotel almost pale in comparison. More and more are jumping on house swapping for several reasons, the first being that in most cases, it's more affordable and comfortable than a hotel. With hotels soaring into the hundreds per night, staying in one is no longer the best way to spend your vacation dollars. Especially when you can stay in a place that looks like this. Charming, don't you think? It's a flat available for swapping in Edinburgh, Scotland over at Jewett Street.
Next, house swapping is the best way to sink your teeth into your new culture and experience day-to-day life. You really get to take it all in this way (especially helpful if you're planning to relocate there someday. House swapping gives you a chance to experience living there without the commitment.) Of course, many more benefits exist, but you usually don't know what they are until you've experienced it. And if you cannot house swap, consider looking into rental apartments when you travel. I have connections in my favorite cities so that when I need to travel there, I know who to call for an apartment.
I think that people are much more open to the idea of letting strangers into their home because of the internet. Let's face it, we share so much of ourselves online, you can google anyone! We have less walls around us, people aren't as fearful as they once were. Remember back years ago, if a friend told you she was dating a man she'd met online what did you think? Didn't images of murder and/or abduction play through your head? No one thinks twice about meeting those they've met online today, so the same goes for swapping homes. There isn't as much fear in the idea. Maybe we are more trusting? I don't know. Of course, there is still a need to exercise caution, but house swapping sounds like a great travel option to me and totally worth looking into. If you want to learn more about how home swapping works, visit the Jewett Street website and register if you're interested.
Have you swapped homes before? What was your experience? If not, would you consider it? I'd love to know what your thoughts are on this.

Sony is known as one of the most innovative smartphone producing brand of the world. The Sony Xperia Series became one of the top mobile phone series of today's world. After Sony ended their partnership with the 'Ericsson' company they have decided to develop classy android smartphones with extraordinary features in more affordable price than the other top brands out there. The Xperia Z came with a water and dust proof technology. So now you never have to worry about taking underwater photos or carrying your phone while riding dirt bike in the dusty roads! The same feature is also included in the new Xperia Z3 and all other previously and recently released Z series devices.
Deciding which sony Xperia mobile to buy can be little bit challenging because they offer so many unique devices with latest features and they are in a very reasonable price. For example, Sony Xperia C3 is one of the best deal you can have in the current market. It included 3G network, great camera, video calling, GPS, multitouch, fast processor, HD video, Android OS and lot more features and the price is much lower than the other brands offering the same features. Also the Xperia M2, Xperia M2 Aqua are few other excellent phones in good price.
One of the very obvious reason of the popularity of Xperia series is the unique design. The flat, light, smooth look gives a tender experience to the user, makes it easy to move around the hand and five fingers.
If you browse around mobiledokan.com you will know a lot about Sony Xperia Mobile prices in Bangladesh. This will help you make a suitable decision about buying a Sony mobile phone and know better about the market, possibilities and prices.

I received bad news regarding my grandma today. Thankfully, she is physically fine. But, she did find that someone had come into her house and stole her good jewelry, my grandpa's things (he is deceased) and just trashed the house.
The state police have been out and finger printed. Apparently they got some good ones. My mom, sister and I are driving up tomorrow.
As many of you know, I can't get internet or cell service there (KY). I'm supposed to be back Wed. If you don't hear from me, I am in jail for killing the person we think it is.
My grandma has never done a bad thing to anyone. She never has an unkind word to say. She is my world and how dare someone violate her this way!

New Look at the Holocaust and its relevance today
in History
Adolf Hitler, the most evil monster in the world, said, "Conscience is a Jewish invention; it is a blemish like circumcision" and "If one little Jewish boy survives without any Jewish education, with no synagogue and no Hebrew school, it [Judaism] is in his soul. Even if there had never been a synagogue or a Jewish school or an Old Testament, the Jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. It has been there from the beginning, and there is no Jew, not a single one, who does not personify it." Even Hitler understood that the Jews had a special task, albeit one that he hated. But why is that relevant today?
To find the answers, listen to this enlightening and educating broadcast. For I believe that there has been a battle between the forces of G-dliness and the forces against G-dliness. There has been a battle between light and darkness that was referanced all the way back to Sefer Breishit [Book of Genesis] , the first book of the Torah shebeichtav [the written Torah] when it talked about the creation of light and darkness. And Hitler represented one of the worst of G-dlessness. How is it that Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish people, who were tasked by Hashem [G-d] to promote the light of G-d in the world? And you look at the Torah and the ideology of Nazism, both of which are complete opposities. Torah is good, sweet, and is eternal light. Nazism was pure evil. Nazism brought man to be the worst of animals. According to Torah, man [both Jewish and non-Jewish alike] was created Btzelem Elokim [in G-d's image]. Hashem tasked man with a moral code on how they are to behave. Yet Nazism says that humans are disposable. Nazism casted Aryans as the master race while Jews were at the bottom and were to be exterminated. And anyone else the Nazis saw as "undesireable" [such as those with disibilites], the Nazis just murdered. Tune in and listen.

Evilkind® represents the very real spiritual forces of evil that continue to wage war on your soul. Their primary means of engagement is deception. The Evilkind Media Network is a truly independent entity intent on affecting change one mind at a time.
The new, militant atheists / humanists / modern-day existentialists are working towards creating a world of moral relativism void of all religions where humans are their own gods and answer to no higher authority. While this is unlikely to take full effect, this phase of the master plan, along with religious fundamentalism, is being used to usher in of periods of war and destruction that will give rise to a one world religion once the surviving masses have seen in living color the bitter fruit of man's descent.
No matter how the words are strung together, without a moral standard or belief in a higher power, moral universalism cannot exist. This episode is a brief attempt to expose the true moral nature of atheism rooted in Darwinian evolution, the natural progression towards eugenics, the evils of Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood and the 'Nazi,' white supremacist agenda that persists today.

The Cancerous Stories We Sometimes Live By (Part 2)
in Psychology
How can we understand the stories that motivate the murderous behavior of Islamic groups such as Isis, Al Queda, and Boko Haram? In my last podcast I suggested that such organizations have always been a part of the human condition and associated with many religions and nationalistic movements. Today I shall take another trip down memory lane and discuss the cancers that arose within Christianity and why Islam is now such fertile ground for the modern versions of these horrors. I will spend time discussing the rise of Hitler and the Nazis which also might cast light on why deadly cancerous ideas get organized and gain traction among large groups of people. Finally, I will begin to discuss some notions as to the factors that prevent these cancers from developing.

in Psychology
Apologies for the lack of show time recently. Will try to make them up soon.
This week, we keep up the audio journey into understanding what the fuq is really going on.
We will start with a journey into filmosophy, the finding of philosophical ideologies hidden in plain sight, in some of our favorite movies.
From there, we explore the continuing fear, and racism being directed at Muslims, or more specifically, Arab Muslims. The false flags that lead to reenforcement of these paranoid sentiments. Racism, right wing extremism, and other forms of xenophobic hatred usually come to the surface in times of economic uncertainty and instability.
Which brings us to the coming economic collapse, the growing divide and under=-- class, and the inevitable changes we need to be prepared to fight for when the system does collapse again. We need to keep our wits about us to make sure that we are not caught off guard.
The powers that be are preparing/planning for another terrorist attack, and they expect it to be so bad, that their new terrorist insurance indurtry will need to pick up the tab to cover policy payouts. That's a big assumption for a financial product that's never been used. But hey, any way to keep cash flowing from taxpayers to corporations and banks.
All the pieces matter.
Wake Up. Pay attention. Avoid the 'No Go Zones' in your city. Deface hatred everywhere. Civil Disobedience. Rise Up. Fight back. Stay Peaceful.
Oh, and there is some stuff honoring MLK in the last half hour.
The Paris Massacres and the European Response
in Politics
The massacre of the Charlie Hebdo staff in Paris on January 7th and the hostage crisis and tragic killing of four Jewish shoppers two days later, has sent shock waves around the world. Those who have been observing the social and demographic crises of Europe for some time were not surprised. It is the continuation of a long line of distrubrances which have rocked Europe over the past 20 years. The multicultural policies of Europe, wherein Muslim enclaves have been encouraged to develop their own culture which would be respected and encouraged by Europeans have proved to be spectacularly ill conceived. Today, hundreds, if not thousands of ' No Go Zones' exist all over Europe and the restiveness of local Muslim populations, to the point of explosion, presents the gravest threat to the survival of European civilization since the advent of Nazism.
What do European leaders propose to do about this situation? Is it too late to do anything? Without guaranteed protection, should Jews leave France and other European countries? What will Europe look like in 20 years?
These and other questions will be addressed by a range of European experts who are standing in the heart of the problems today.
Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty
The Bush family is one of the most powerful dynasties in the world. They are one of the leading families in the earth, heading up and bringing about the New World Order.
It can be said that the are leading America into the New world order. They designed intelligence agencies, were involved in assassinations and attempted assassinations of presidents and world leaders, responsible for false flag attacks, and some of the most evil hearted men on earth.
the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies,
The Cancerous Stories We Sometimes Live By (part 1)
in Psychology
Like many others I am horrified by the lastest activities of those justifying the mass murder of innocents in the name of Islamic Jihad. As a psychologist I feel compelled to try and explain such behaviors believing that only understanding can lead to preventing both the atrocities themselves and fear driven, irrational responses to the perpetrators. I will employ the medical metaphor of cancer to structure my own story to explain the current wave of violence across the middle east and now "metasticizing" into Europe, the United States and other parts of the world. The philosopher Daniel Dennett suggests that many ideas and other products of human imagination refered to as "memes" can be compared to their biological counterparts, the genes. Genes that add to human adaptibility tend to spread in the population while those that fail to add to human health and adaptive success die off and disappear. Similarly ideas and inventions (Psychoanalysis and cell phones for example) expand rapidly to the degree that people who come in contact with them find them helpful in their adaptive struggles in life. Genes can become damaged and create cancers that spread and if not contained can destroy the lives of those so suffering. So too can ideas, stories and other inventions lead to the destruction of lives, whole societies, and I believe to civilization and our species itself. Just as cancer can be found all over the planet and in every historical epoch so to can cancerous stories be found. The Crusades, Nazism, malignant Communism,and hundreds of other political, religious and nationalistic movements prove that Islamic Jihad is not unique and is not merely a product of the Muslim faith but is to be understood as innate to human social functioning as is cancer to our biological existence.

Zimbra utilizes a powerful spam filter to determine whether messages from specific addresses or domains should be added to your junk folder. Most filtering of spam e-mail is handled by the spam filter before those mail messages reach your Inbox.
E-mail that might be spam are filtered into your Junk folder. Therefore, sometimes a legitimate e-mail message can be put in the Junk folder when it is not spam. You should check your Junk folder periodically to ensure that you are not missing any messages. You can review these messages and either move them out of the Junk folder or delete them. If you do not move or delete the messages, they are purged after a number of days as specified by your administrator. You can empty the Junk folder by right-clicking the folder and choosing Empty Junk. In addition, the contents of the folder are automatically purged after an administration-configured number of days.
In addition to marking spam e-mails with the Spam button, headers from spam e-mails can be forwarded to email@example.com See Forwarding Email Headers
In addition to the automatic Zimbra spam filtering rules (above), you can setup your mail preferences to identify specific addresses to block or not block in your Inbox. You create a list of addresses that should not be added to your Inbox and addresses that always should be added to your Inbox, but could be detected as spam. The spam filter uses this list to make sure you get the e-mail you expect.
If you notice that certain e-mail addresses are always being incorrectly added to your Inbox or Junk folder, you can identify those addresses to block or not block.
