The old man has tea served to his guests. A hot wind blows off the Caspian Sea into his apartment above Makhachkala, the capital of the Republic of Dagestan. To the south lie the slopes of the Caucasus, the mountain range between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, a region hotly contested by major powers for centuries. Ali Aliyev, not wanting his guests to feel uncomfortable, closes the window and turns on the air conditioner.
The 77-year-old is better known by his artist's and war name Adallo. In one of the wistful poems for which he is known, he writes: "Alone in the festival of life, I smile at everything that touches my heart." The poet has a long beard, as white as the shirt he is wearing, and the seam of his gray trousers rests on his bare feet.
"I can only laugh when I hear that some call me the bin Laden of the Caucasus," he says, as he digs for an international list of wanted terrorists, which includes both his name and that of the founder of the al-Qaida terrorist network, who is currently in hiding. "I can't even read Arabic." In Moscow, he is considered the chief ideologue of radical Islam within Russian terroritory -- a dangerous troublemaker.
In the 1990s, Adallo joined Chechen leader Shamil Basayev's underground movement in the nearby mountains. Basayev was so ruthless he would even take hostages in hospitals, just as his collaborators would later take children hostage at a school in Beslan. Adallo has been under house arrest since he returned to Dagestan from exile in Turkey. His views are apparently unchanged: He still believes that an act of terror like the one that was committed in Beslan in 2004 -- in which, in addition to the 31 terrorists, 334 schoolchildren, parents, teachers and soldiers died -- is justified. "The Russians have killed far more innocent people in their war against Chechnya," he says.
Adallo is considered the intellectual father of the men who dream of an Islamic Caucasus, of a caliphate under the rule of Sharia law that would stretch across the region's current borders. Underground fighters in the region are now killing representatives of the government on a daily basis, while Moscow fights back just as brutally.
These are the incidents that occurred last week alone: On Sunday, a suicide bomber killed himself and six others in front of a concert hall in the Chechen capital Grozny; the next day, police shot eight suspected terrorists in a forest near Makhachkala; on Tuesday, four rebels died in a battle in the southern Chechen mountains, and that evening a bomb exploded near the house of the mayor of Magas, the capital of the Republic of Ingushetia.
In the first five months of this year, the Caucasus has already seen more than 300 attacks, in which 75 police officers and 48 civilians died. The authorities, for their part, have "liquidated 112 bandits," as Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced.
The region is "one of the Kremlin's biggest problems," Alexei Malashenko, a security expert with the Moscow Carnegie Center warned lasted Wednesday. On the same day Gennady Saizev, the former head of the Alpha Group counterterrorism unit, said that violence is "increasingly threatening the entire nation."

When all is said and done, I'm not a person who believes in superstitions. I think they're unlucky. And although that is a corny and overused joke, it is actually a statement I believe to be very true. What I mean is that when a poker player starts blaming his bad luck on the fact that he forgot to tie his right shoe, or that it's the 13th of the month, or that he "runs bad against redheads," he has taken the first step down the road to Excuseville.
Even worse is when a player rationalizes bad play by citing certain superstitious circumstances (say that 10 times fast). What players need to realize is that a stretch of bad or good luck is just part of the probabilities and odds in the game of poker. And a stretch of bad play well, these players might never admit they play poorly before first insisting they lost because of the color of the chips or the meal they just ate.
During what I would call my semi-slump, from after the World Series until now, I have made sure to avoid thinking superstitiously or believing that it was all because of bad luck. It wasn't. Recently I made a decision that has allowed me to be less stressed, better focused, and more clear-headed when it comes to poker. What decision? Maybe I'll discuss that in a future column. The point is, although I don't believe in superstitions, I certainly believe that your thoughts and state of mind always will affect how well you succeed in poker, and in life.
I also believe in signs. What kind of signs? They are everywhere all you have to do is pay attention. When it comes to poker, some are more obvious than others. Hence, a recent, more obvious sign: I had made the money in a $1,000 buy-in tournament at the L.A. Poker Classic. I was happy because it was my first cash in a couple months, and the first since my big "decision," although I was short stacked with $21,000 in chips coming into Day 2. I looked down at the chip count summary on Day 2 and realized I happened to be 21st in chips out of the 30 or so remaining. Hmm. Strange. After playing solid for a few hours to stay alive in the tournament, I eventually busted in 21st place. Odd. My tournament had ended, and upon returning home I discovered that at the stroke of midnight, it was, in fact, the 21st day of February. Also, for those who don't know, I happen to be 21 years old.
What did it all mean? It felt like a good omen. I had just stepped into a new chapter of my life, as a 21-year-old poker professional at the beginning of his career, and I felt that this was a sign of success to come.
Another boost to my confidence that more success was on the horizon was that I finally received my prize for winning Player of the Year for last year's World Series. What was the prize? Well, imagine any 21-year-old's dream destination and you'd be right on the money.
That's right, the Playboy Mansion. Finally I would be able to see what all the fuss was about, as my four guests and I would be attending the WSOP/Milwaukee's Best Light party there. Upon arrival, I noticed that at the Mansion everything is made of chocolate and tears turn into blueberry gumdrops. Well, not exactly. But, there were many naked females, so it kind of reminded me of a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for adults. But I digress. Back to poker.
Enter San Jose and the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Stars Championship. This tournament was sort of a strange experience at first for me: Being designated a "Shooting Star" bounty, I received a hundred times more attention from fans than I would receive playing in any other tournament. I have never seen myself as someone who really could be a "celebrity," so signing autographs and taking pictures with the many people watching the tournament was a little off-putting. Nonetheless, I certainly had my game face on as I was determined to get my first cash in a $10,000 buy-in event.
My tournament start was somewhat rocky, since at the exact moment that the tournament director was announcing me as a Shooting Star to the crowd watching, I had pocket aces, and I ended up losing half my chips to an opponent's 8-9 off-suit. After that first hit, however, my chips went upward consistently and smoothly. I had doubled my starting stack of $20,000 in chips after a few hours, and got lucky against WPT Player of the Year Joe Pelton when we got all in on a flop of Q-8-5, all spades. He had flopped a king-high flush with the K-10 of spades against my flopped set of eights. As usual, I sucked out when the board paired the five on the turn, bringing my stack close to the $100,000 mark.
From that point, I continually built my chips throughout the day. I was thinking with a clear and focused mind, and somehow the game seemed so easy for the next few days of the tournament. In addition to playing better than I think I have played in quite a while, I ran into good situations like outflopping opponents in key pots, hitting set over set, or having A-A versus K-K before the flop. I pretty much ran into no difficulties besides trying to compete for the chip lead with my buddies -- David Williams on Days 1 and 2, and Joe Sebok on Day 3. Life was good.
On Day 3, a day that began with me as the chip leader and Joe in second, I managed to build my chips rapidly in the beginning stages, and then lose some ground as the field narrowed from 36 to the low teens. When the field had been whittled down to the final eight, we all took a break. I was still second in chips with $1.3 million, and yet I couldn't help but think about the fact that I had dropped from a monstrous $2.1 million earlier.
Suddenly, my clear and focused thinking turned into a clouded bubble, and all I could think about was, "What if I don't make the final six for the TV table?" My mind had shifted from poker, to the tournament itself, and this was bad. Real bad.
After the break, I simply lost chips at a continuous and consistent pace, just as I had first earned them. It was strange, but I noticed Sebok sliding with me at the same pace. Finally, the end: I had dropped to a measly $400,000 in chips, pushed all-in over a $45,000 bet with A-10 of diamonds, and was called rather quickly by the A-6 of clubs (a questionable call). I lost to the nut flush, and my thoughts had become a reality: I had bubbled the WPT TV table. Well, actually, Joe Sebok was the true bubble boy. His bust-out in seventh was a disappointment and a comfort at the same time.
The point is that my disappointing finish had nothing to do with luck, superstition, or even the "signs" we think we see in the world. It had everything and only to do with the thoughts I had in my head. Final realization: Poker is 100-percent mental. It would be hard to dispute that claim.
Sigh eighth place that's better then nothing. Semi-slump over!

Professional Reviews
Customer Reviews of Big Bang Theory-Complete 1st Season
Smart Humor!6/25/2014
BBT is an award winning show . Reminds me of my days at college, and funny to those who didn't have those days.
Classic Big Bang Theory1/16/2014
Nothing can top the hilarity of The Big Band Theory. I am one of those people who enjoy comedies, but never really show it on the outside (i.e. I don't laugh out loud very easily at sitcoms or funny sketches), but I added 20 years to my life by laughing over this show. Yes, the writing is very clean and smart, the actors are wonderful, and the situations are funny, but the factor that makes this show so funny, is that these are situations that nerds might actually get into. It's all typical nerd stuff that probably would happen to nerds in the real world. Everyone should try this show out. Most of the time its just plain old funny.
funny, cute and Best comedy ...!4/11/2012
I found this show very entertaining, and totally funny. chemistry between all 3 main characters was great. Jokes were right on and timing was perfect. The writing was clever, and the idea of a Stephen Hawking tape connoisseur, imaginative.
Gift for wife12/26/2011
I bought this because the wife and I got into watching this show. Most of these episodes I saw on TV in a short perioid of time so buying this was a waste for me. They play so many of these you can catch them all for free on tv. The product and acting was all good just like the newer ones.
Not a good story5/26/2011
This show makes the easy jokes that become tiresome before too long. The stories are really weak, like they don't hire writers. It's an ok cast, some of the acting is poor, but the lines and stories are what kills this show. You can suffer through this show if it is playing on an airplane, but don't bother with it at home.
Favorite show on TV1/2/2011
I love this show because it makes you pay attention and listen if you want to "get" all of the humor. Now I have the 1st and 2nd seasons all without the commercials. Thanks Buy.com
Predictably unpredictable12/9/2010
At first blush I was expecting a show that was rife with site gags and one-liners. And, while, to an extent it is, it is not at all predictable. The characters are about as far out of left field as they get. Even the premise of the show seems absurd and the characters don't disappoint. Sheldon, by far, steals the show, but each character brings the supporting ingredients that help bring his character to life. Sit back and just let the silliness engulf you. It's escapism at it oddest and funniest

PORTLAND - A Portland police officer pleaded not guilty in court Monday to felony sex crimes involving children.
Officer Scott Elliott, 50, was arrested Thursday by Multnomah County Sheriff's deputies for online sexual corruption of a child and luring a minor.
Elliott did unlawfully and knowingly furnish to and use with a law enforcement officer posing as a minor a visual representation, an explicit verbal description, and a narrative account of sexual conduct, for the purpose of inducing the law enforcement officer posing as a minor to engage in sexual conduct, according to court documents.
Elliott is a 22-year member of the bureau and assigned to East Precinct, the Portland Police Bureau said in a prepared statement.
He was placed on administrative leave without police powers.
As this is an ongoing criminal investigation by an outside agency, the Portland Police Bureau will have no further comment on this case at this time, said Sgt. Pete Simpson.
Bail for Elliott was set at $500,000.
Elliott worked in the bureau's sex offender registration detail.
Forensic psychologist Frank Colistro said Elliott's alleged crimes were not likely to have been fueled by his work assignment.
I've evaluated hundreds, if not thousands, of sex offenders over 30 years, he said. This never has anything to do with personal demographics. It's everything from politicians to bums and everything in between.
According to a report in the Oregonian, Elliott was also a firearms instructor for cadets. The paper also reported that Elliott was taken into custody after being asked to go to a Southeast Portland intersection to transport a prisoner to jail.

They're both major stars in their own right, and Rose Byrne and Anna Faris have joined forces for a fabulous new film.
According to a report, the "House Bunny" babe and the "Bridesmaids" star will converge on London, England next month to begin production on "I Give It A Year".
Among the many Tinseltown fetes taking place this weekend, the Creative Artists Agency's annual bash in Bel Air was the place to be on Friday night (February 24).
Held at Bryan Lourd's sprawling manse, Hollywood's top names including Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock were among those dropping by the Pre-Oscars party.
Holding one of the biggest bashes of what's already been an event-laden weekend, Rolling Stone's Bacardi Bash: 150 Years of Rocking The Party went down in in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday night (February 4).
It's always a smashing good time, and this year's GQ Men of the Year shindig, held last night (November 17), was no different.
Showmen of the Year Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon showed up at the Chateau Marmont looking to party, as did King of the Year honoree Jay-Z and Breakout of the Year Michael Fassbender.
Closing in on her big hosting gig, Anna Faris is all set to take the helm of this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live".
To gear up for the sketch comedy's airing, NBC has just released a promo for the October 15th show which also features Drake as the musical guest.
Hoping to stake its claim as one of the breakout comedies of the year, "What's Your Number" has made it's theatrical debut (September 30).
She's always up to something, and last night (September 27) Anna Faris was spotted at "The Late Show with David Letterman."
The "House Bunny" babe arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City looking fabulous in a sleeveless black dress teamed with matching heels and a silver clutch.
Boasting a star-studded cast, "What's Your Number" held its big West Coast premiere in Los Angeles last night (September 19).
Big names like Anna Faris and Chris Evans hammed it up for the paparazzi outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood.

CMS has revised the implementation timeline for round two of the bidding program, which targets an additional 91 metropolitan statistical areas, and says it will announce contract winners for the 91 areas in Spring 2013 for implementation in Summer 2013.
"We have said for a long time that competitive bidding will not work for Medicare patients or businesses," said Tyler Wilson. "Home-based care is the most cost-effective setting for post-acute care and long-term care, yet Congress has been cutting reimbursement rates for home medical equipment and services for more than a decade even though it represents less than 1.5 percent of Medicare spending. Medicare spending in this sector is declining. This bidding program is merely a solution in search of a problem."
The American Association for Homecare represents durable medical equipment providers, manufacturers, and other organizations in the homecare community. Members serve the medical needs of millions of Americans who require oxygen equipment and therapy, mobility assistive technologies, medical supplies, inhalation drug therapy, home infusion, and other medical equipment and services in their homes. The Association's members operate more than 3,000 homecare locations in all 50 states. Visit www.aahomecare.org/competitivebidding.

Granholm, leaders huddle on budget
By Rick Pluta, Michigan Public Radio Network
LANSING, MI – Governor Granholm spent much of Thursday huddled behind closed doors with her budget team and legislative leaders. They're trying to decide how much to cut, and how much federal stimulus funding they'll use to balance the budget.
The budget for the coming fiscal year has a deficit officially pegged at $1.8 billion. In reality, tax collections are flagging, so the deficit's probably even bigger.
The Republican spending plan has bigger cuts - including eliminating the $4,000 Michigan Promise scholarship for students who complete two years of post-high school education. The Democrats' spending plan also has cuts, but not as big. They want to use more federal stimulus dollars, and find more revenue by eliminating some tax breaks.
It's difficult to know what direction the talks are taking because Governor Granholm and Republican and Democratic leaders have agreed the details of their discussions will remain secret until there is a budget deal.

Calypso Cave, Gozo
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Calypso was the female sorcerer (or half-godess?) that held Odysseus in her spell - and in the cave for 7 years.
I don´t know how she managed that, since the Cave is neither very big nor really comfortable...
but it has a nice view of the beach: Ramla Bay.
On the picture you can see the view. In the sea in front of the beach is a darker line, This was a wall that was built in a war. Now the ground level sunk and it is under the water.
My guidebook said, that this place isn´t worth of visiting, it´s just a cave, and not even interesting looking. The hop on hop off bus stopped there anyway. My husband stayed in the bus, and I went there with the other tourists. There were poor little hole to get in the cave. Two of us did get in, and they said to us others: Don´t bother, there´s nothing in there. And I was also worried if I would fall when going in.
More intresting was the view from up there. But if you need to skip something, I would say skip this first!
There can be locals guiding you with candles (according my guidebook) but it wont give anything specail extra to visit if we belive the book.
The island claims to host the cave where Homer's Odysey, spent time with Calypso before returning home, to Ithaka.
Go there, but not for the cave itself, as there is nothing really interesting to see in there. The beauty is in the view, mostly because you will have the chance to see the -probably- one and only beach on both islands!
Allegedly, Gozo is the island where Odysseus stranded and was kept by the beautiful nymph Callypso. Callypso Cave is located a few kilometers from the picturesque village Xaghra, above a green and fertile plateau on Gozo. The bay is called Ramla Bay and one of the few
with a beautiful sandy beach. The cave itself is less spectacular: For a few cents you can
get a candle from locals and then climb down the holes. The cave itself is quite high above
sea level - for critics an indicator that it may NOT have been the real Callypso cave. (Another
