I ordered my first Traveler cashmere sweater last year and enjoyed it so much that I ordered two more this year. All three are excellent quality, soft to the touch and just right for winter. They are pretty preppy for an old man, but I pamper myself every now and then.

cashmere sweater
By Jim

About Me Comfort-oriented, Practical
I am disappointed that the sweater, after only 3 wears, has already begun to "pill" up. Could this be the systhetic in the product, as I thought cashmere would not do that.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical
Finally a sweater that is not "just a little too tight". Used to buy cashmere sweaters by suit size (46,48 etc.) Lately just have S,M,L,XL. These in the Big and Tall department are perfect. Just a little bigger and LOTS more comfortable. Kudos to JAB.

Quality Cashmere

The sweater was well made, however we found the shoulders and arms to be too small in proportion to the remainder of the sweater.

About Me Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Tall Man
100% Cashmere quality sweaters were on sale three for the price of one In 2X Tall and I'd seen a competeing High-end NYC Tall Mens store selling the exact same sweater with their name tag on it at $500.00 for one piece no sale! As a tall person I have become accustomed to being taken advantage of by Big and Tall stores and usually overcharged simply because I have a longer than average torso but thanks to Jos. A. Bank I don't have to put up with it anymore.The Sweaters are beutiful, soft, and top quality. Fit is perfect. Jos. A. Bank You've just made me a loyal customer for life!

GAME NOTES: The eighth-seeded Massachusetts Minutemen host the ninth-seeded Duquesne Dukes this evening in the first round of the 2012 Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament, with the winner advancing to play top-seeded Temple in the quarterfinal round in Atlantic City on Friday.
Duquesne (16-14, 7-9 A-10) have reached the 15-win plateau for the fourth consecutive season -- its longest streak since its six-season run from 1968-73. While the Dukes have been a respectable opponent this year, they have struggled of late, losing four of their last five coming into the tournament. Though UMass has the home court advantage tonight, DU comes in with confidence after beating the Minutemen the last two times it visited Amherst, both by margins of more than 17 points.
UMass started the year looking like one of the front runners, beginning the season an impressive 16-5. The Minutemen have come back to Earth in the last few weeks however, going just 4-5 since Feb. 1, leading to a 20-10 overall record. Their 9-7 conference mark had them in a four-way tie for fifth place with La Salle, Dayton and Saint Joseph's, but through an elaborate tie- breaking process, the Minutemen were saddled with the eighth seed.
UMass has a 34-25 series advantage over Duquesne, although the Dukes have won four of the last five meetings, including the lone matchup this season in an 80-69 final on Jan. 5 in Pittsburgh.
Duquesne has been very impressive at the offensive end of the court this season, ranking fourth in the conference in scoring at 72.3 ppg while shooting 45.2 percent from the field. Its efficiency has been increased by its incredible turnover margin (+5.3), ranking third in the nation behind only Syracuse and Virginia Commonwealth. The Dukes are also one of the top teams in the conference in terms of assists (15.2 apg), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3), and steals (7.9 spg), but their defensive efficiency has left something to be desired, as they permit 71.3 ppg on 45.6 percent field goal efficiency. DU's offense is paced by B.J. Monteiro, who contributes across the board with 15 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 2.1 apg, 1.1 spg and 1.1 bpg. Sean Johnson adds 13.5 ppg to the mix and T.J. McConnell nets 11.4 ppg while ranking third in the A-10 in assists (5.5 apg) and first in steals (2.8 spg).
UMass has the conference's second-most potent offensive attack, with its 76.1 ppg ranking only a tenth of a point behind Temple for the league lead. It relies heavily on the three-ball in its approach, leading the A-10 in three- point attempts (691) and ranking third in long-range makes (240). The Minutemen also play tough defense, ranking third in field goal percentage against (.404) and first in three-point percentage defense (.305). However, they still allow 71.2 ppg, which ranks in the bottom-third of the league. Chaz Williams has been one of the A-10's most exciting players this season, scoring 16.2 ppg, logging 2.3 spg, and dishing out a league-best 6.4 apg. Five other Minutemen score at least 7.4 ppg, with Raphiael Putney (10.1 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 1.5 bpg) being the most effective presence in the paint.
While Duquesne has recent experience winning big at the Mullins Center, it hasn't visited Amherst in more than a year, and this UMass squad is much improved. Despite their recent slip in the standings, the Minutemen should be good enough to escape this first-round matchup in front of their home fans and move on the quarterfinals.
FACTS & STATS: Site: Mullins Center (9,493) -- Amherst, Massachusetts. Television: None. Home Record: DU 10-5, UMass 14-1. Away Record: DU 4-8, UMass 4-7. Neutral Record: DU 2-1, UMass 2-2. Conference Record: DU 7-9, UMass 9-7. Series Record: Massachusetts leads, 34-25.

Ellsworth Man Sentenced to 262 Months on Child Porn Charge
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Eric Schuster, 45, Ellsworth, Wis., was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb to 262 months (21 years, 10 months) in prison for manufacturing child pornography.
Judge Crabb stated that she was imposing the high sentence because Schuster created child pornography on three separate occasions and because he distributed child pornography.
United States Attorney Vaudreuil stated that the charges followed an international investigation initially conducted by the Amsterdam Police Department and the Dutch National Police Department. The case led to Wisconsin where the investigation was continued by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department; Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation; and Department of Homeland Security. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy M. O'Shea.

Two things that bug me.
1) The Ram Skull axe, there are nails in the base that are pointing upwards towards the hands/arms of the wielder. I would remove those.
2) The three skull axe, the first notch in the axe handle looks more like a serious crack, any impact on that considerable axe head would probably snap it in half quite easily.

Mobility fees
Glenn Pendergrass
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Because of a state law past last year, counties may soon be imposing a different type of fee on new homes. This morning in Tampa government representatives, attorneys, developers, and community activists met for the Hillsborough County Mobility Fee public forum.
Peter Aluotto, Director of the Hillsborough County Planning & Growth Management Department said there will be advantages under the new law, SB 360 that requires that counties study mobility fees.
Sandra Goring of King Engineering, an infrastructure engineering firm, says thereâs a difference between concurrency, which is used now and assesses impact fees, and SB 360 which proposes mobility fees
Land-use Attorney Kami Corbett of Foley & Lardner explained the intent of SB-360.
Scott Jones, vice president of operations for the developer Newland Communities put mobility fees and impact fees into perspective.comments powered by Disqus

Women have been using homemade recipes for years that require the use of regular, everyday ingredients found around the house and the kitchen. The latest phenomenon that many teen girls swear by is the use of peanut butter as a facial mask. What is the idea behind it and is it even a good idea to begin with?
It isn't new to try adding food to your face for a better complexion. Honey, milk, oatmeal, lemon and a score of other household ingredients that are normally eaten have been the secret behind flawless complexions since forever. Now peanut butter has been the latest ingredient to hop off the plate and onto your face.
Aside from tasting good, peanut butter has been found to have some health benefits, such as preventing cardiovascular disease, providing excellent sources of protein, vitamins B3 and E, magnesium, dietary fiber, and being rich in the antioxidant p-coumaric acid.
The idea of using peanut butter as a homemade facial mask has caught on with teens all over, many posting "before and after" photos and sharing their experiences with the peanut butter mask online. According to those who successfully use the mask, natural, creamy peanut butter is the best kind to use. This facial mask can be used once to twice a week to rid the face of impurities, as traditional facial masks do. After cleansing, apply a spoonful of creamy peanut butter (brand does not matter) liberally to your entire face, avoiding the eye area. Allow the mask to dry and when the skin feels tight or the mask starts to crack, use your fingers to remove the peanut butter mask, using slow and circular motions with your fingers. Afterwards, rinse your face off with warm water and towel dry.
Before you rush to your refrigerator, it is important to know that the peanut butter mask has not worked wonders for everyone. For every success story found online, there is a horror story. Many girls reported breaking out shortly after using the mask, while others say the peanut butter mask only worked for a short period of time before their skin returned to its regular state.
Those with certain skin types should be cautious of trying this mask. It goes without saying that those with allergies to peanuts are definitely not recommended to use the peanut butter mask. If you believe your skin is tough enough to handle this mask, do a patch test first to see how your skin reacts. If you begin to break out, wash the mask off immediately. Talk to your doctor before trying the mask to see if he/she has any opinion on how it may react with your skin.
The reviews for the peanut butter mask are mixed but for those who have had good experiences, embracing peanut butter has become a regular part of their skin care regimen. There are even recipes for peanut butter as a cold cream and exfoliating scrub. Whether you're a peanut butter mask advocate or not, it is highly likely that when the fascination with the peanut butter has faded, another household ingredient will take its place.

Well, do you?
If you are interested in attaining optimal health, you will want to know how and where to find the best food available in your area.
You see, the quality of your health is directly related to the quality of food you put in your body.
How are you doing?
We believe that you should make every effort to find and consume the highest quality foods possible.
What does that mean exactly?
Well… local, sustainable, organic, and even seasonal if at all possible.
TRUST ME it is worth the effort.
Here is a page that will enable you to find the best food available in your area (for best results, check out each link):
Do You Know How And Where To Find The Best Food Available
Real Food comes from soil that is fertile, or animals that are consuming grass from that same fertile soil. It is really quite that simple. So, why "real food"?
- Locally-Grown
- Extremely Fresh
- Supporting Small Farmers
Are there any other reasons to consume "real food"?
- Preserve Natural Resources
- Develop and Maintain Important Social (urban/rural) Ties
- Farmland Preservation
- Environmental Concerns
- Health of the Animals
So specifically, what does that mean for us?
- The FERTILE soil is maintained and improved
- The availability and quality of the water is protected and ENHANCED
- Our biodiversity is PROTECTED
- ALL workers in the sustainable food system have livable incomes
- The food is not only affordable but it PROMOTES optimal health
- Sustainable businesses are businesses that CAN thrive
- The flow of energy and discharge of wasted ARE within the capacity of the earth to absorb forever
What are some names for these "real foods"?
- Sustainable
- Bio-dynamic
- Beyond Organic
- Certified Organic
- Organic
- Natural
Unfortunately, every marketer worth their salt has made sure that whenever possible, their "food" product is going to be labeled with one of these descriptions. In most cases, these food descriptions mean absolutely NOTHING! And even more unfortunate, our government isn't stopping this practice. Big Corporate Money talks and OUR Health walks! Sorry. Finding these high-quality real foods may be difficult, but it is NOT impossible, and it is worth your while. Here are some tools to better help you find the foods that will help you attain optimal health.
- Interested in finding food in your area, including farms, stores and other outlets: EAT WELL GUIDE
- Interested in grocery stores, Co-ops, Farmers Markets and even Community Supported Agriculture: LOCAL HARVEST
- Interested in consuming grass-fed animals and reaping the benefits that comes with it: EAT WILD
- Interested in raw dairy from grass-fed cows and goats, and everything other product that might come from raw dairy: REAL MILK
- Interested in seafood, what to buy or avoid, what choices are best for us and the ocean: SEAFOOD WATCH
- Interested in knowing where your food comes from including farmers markets, farm stands and restaurants: REAL TIME FARMS
- Interested in knowing how food gets from the farm to your table; including ecological and ethical concerns: SUSTAINABLE TABLE
In all cases, or whenever possible, get to know the producers of your food source. If that is impossible, start asking questions where you are purchasing your food. If the quality of the food is not meeting your new standard ask the manager to do better, if they refuse, take your business elsewhere. If you don't speak with your wallet this problem will NEVER be rectified. In becoming "The Healthy Omnivore" you must eat as the healthy omnivore would. How is that? By predominately eating the highest quality real foods. Can that be a challenge? Sure, it can be. But, isn't your health worth it?
You can find the entire article HERE
I cannot stress to you enough in the importance in putting the best foods possible in your home.
You see the rising costs of healthcare? Guess why… you guessed it, we devalued the impact of high quality food on our health.
And now we are paying the price! LITERALLY.
It doesn't have to be that way, if you, your family, or anyone you know is in need of getting healthy and staying healthy, I encourage you to check out our online health club. This membership site is affordable and easy to navigate, as it is primarily short videos brought to you via e-mail and computer.
By the way, have you signed up for your complimentary videos? Please do so and get started on attaining the level of health you deserve.
Any questions or comments on how and where to find the best food available? Please leave them below.

2. To make the gnocchi, wash the potatoes under cold water and roast in oven with the skin on until fork tender, about 80 minutes. Peel the potatoes while they are still hot and using a ricer, rice them into a large bowl. Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil with all the dried spices. Once boiling, strain out the spices and leave the water for the gnocchi.
3. Add flour to the riced potatoes to achieve a crumbly consistency. Add eggs and knead to reach a dough-like consistency. Turn out the dough and cut it into six equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a log and cut it into small 1 inch pieces to make the gnocchi.
4. Divide the gnocchi into 4 batches and slowly add to the water, one batch at a time. Once they float to the top, allow them cook for one minute, and then scoop out of the water with a strainer. Allow to cool on a sheet pan in a single layer.
5. To prepare the sauce, heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, and onions and sweat until soft. Add the marrow and the reserved beef cheek stock. Add the diced potatoes and bunch of herbs. Cook over medium heat for about an hour, until sauce is reduced by half. Strain the vegetables and herbs from the sauce.
6. Blanch the peas in salted water for about 1-2 minutes and then shock in a bath of ice water. Set aside.
7. Using a spoon, scrape the black gills out of the mushrooms. Julienne the mushrooms, then slice in half to make bite-sized slices. Place a cooling rack on a sheet pan and arrange slices on the rack (this allows the mushroom juices to drip down while roasting). Place in oven for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on softness desired. Sprinkle the roasted mushrooms with salt, pepper, and vegetable oil.
8. To assemble the gnocchi as an appetizer, put 15 pieces in a sauté pan with margarine to achieve a light crust on both sides. Add the beef cheek, mushrooms, and peas and sauté for one more minute. Add ½ cup of sauce and let it reduce by a quarter of the volume. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve right away. To serve as an entrée size, use 30 pieces of gnocchi and prepare the same as above.

Dr. Nathan Carson accepts a position at Fresno PacificJune 18, 2013
Dr. Michael Beaty, chair of the department of philosophy, is pleased to announce that Dr. Nathan Carson has accepted a new position at Fresno Pacific University in Fresno, California, beginning in August, 2013. Nathan has been appointed Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the School of Humanities, Religion, and Social Sciences, and will assume the role of Philosophy Program Director also.
According to Dr. Carson, he will be the only philosopher on the faculty. He is charged with resurrecting a philosophy program that has fallen into disrepair over the last 5 years, in the absence of a full time philosophy faculty member. Carson comments, "This is an exciting no less than daunting task, but I look forward to shaping, improving and growing the program as it stands. The school retains a general educational requirement for introduction to philosophy, so I hope to connect well with students at that level, and augment the program from there. I also hope to establish a thriving Philosophy Club, annual or semi-annual topical symposia with visiting philosophers, and a service learning plan that allows for creative student engagement in the Fresno community."
Fresno Pacific is a liberal arts university in the Mennonite Brethren tradition that is committed to its rich Christian heritage and its mission in higher education in the free-church tradition. Fresno Pacific is also deeply involved in the Fresno community in a variety of important ways, but especially via a business forum and numerous church connections.
Carson adds, "I am thankful for this position, and remain grateful to my friends, colleagues and faculty mentors in the Baylor University Philosophy Department for their investment in my life as a young scholar and philosopher. I will miss you all a great deal, but I hope to represent Baylor well at Fresno Pacific University!"

Vodafone customers hoping to receive their iPhone 5 pre-orders on the weekend may have been left disappointed, with the telco's much-touted 'weekend delivery' pledge falling short of expectations.
On Friday, Vodafone announced it would deliver "thousands" of iPhone 5 handsets over the launch weekend across the CBDs of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and a surrounding 15km radius, in an attempt to meet strong pre-order demand.
"We've upped the ante on shipping the iPhone and have put in place a special delivery service so thousands of our customers don't have to wait any longer," a Vodafone senior rep said at the time.
However, it appears that some Vodafone pre-order customers are still waiting for their handsets, despite falling into the geographical range specified by Vodafone.
One source, located just 3km from Sydney's centre, told CRN his iPhone 5, pre-ordered on the 16th of September, had yet to reach his doorstep, and when contacted, Vodafone customer service staff were 'mystified' by his query about weekend deliveries.
"I hadn't received my phone on Friday so I gave Vodafone a call and talked to one of their overseas call centres," the source said.
"The lady on the phone said they do not deliver on the weekend. I pressed her, telling her about [the CRN article]. She then went away for a couple of minutes and came back to confirm there were no weekend deliveries.
"In total, I spoke to three different people at Vodafone on Friday night and they all said there would be no deliveries on the weekend."
The source's account is echoed on Vodafone's website forum, where numerous customers have posted complaints about not receiving their iPhone 5.
"I have to waste another day waiting at home," wrote one disgruntled customer who had been expecting his phone on Friday.
"I've read that some were told Startrack will deliver theirs [on Saturday]. I called and was told there won't be any delivery until Monday. I'd be pretty angry if they do get theirs tomorrow and mine on Monday. ...What was the point of me preordering so early?"
Vodafone declined to provide the criteria used to decide which customers had been allocated to receive their new phones over the weekend. It told CRN it was working hard to get its pre-orders filled quickly but admitted its weekend deliveries may have fallen short of expectations.
"Given the limited stock and the popularity of the device not all customers who had pre-ordered the device were able to receive it over the weekend," a Vodafone spokesperson said.
Vodafone today said it averaged 25 deliveries per hour over Saturday and Sunday - an approximate 400 deliveries over the two day period.
It declined to provide specific Friday delivery figures, echoing its earlier statement of "thousands", and declined to disclose the total number of handsets shipped over the period.
CRN's source said Vodafone's service had forced him to change carriers.
"It's not about not getting the phone on Friday or the weekend or even next week. I don't mind. It's about being fed what looks to be rubbish by Vodafone," he said.
"How many customers did they lose last year? Well, they are about to lose another one."
Customers still waiting for the iPhone 5 can track their pre-order's whereabouts by entering their order number on Vodafone's website.

Sajida is one of the many heart rending stories we have heard from the 22 million people who have been treated by LRBT in its 27 years of existence. Being the largest provider of Free Eye care in Pakistan LRBT has performed over 2.2 million sight restoration surgeries during this journey and has grown from a mobile unit in Tando Bago to a network of 17 hospitals & 43 Community Eye Health Centers all over Pakistan spread in such a manner that no Pakistani is more than a 3 hour bus ride away
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Unfortunately, there are 3 million children in Pakistan suffering from blindness or impaired vision - conditions that could easily have been prevented or cured.In teeming Pakistan where two-thirds of the population lives below or just above the poverty line; the government earmarks less than 1% of the GDP to healthcare, 45% of the Pakistani population has no access to health facilities - the chances of receiving treatment are slim at best.
How will this project solve this problem?
The project will help us these children's surgeries. Pediatrics is the most delicate area of eye-care, as it requires a high level of specialized skills. LRBT provides the most comprehensive pediatric eye-care, ranging from School Screening Programmes to pediatric specialty clinics which deal with everything from low vision to the most advanced corneal transplants.
Potential Long Term Impact
In spite of all these efforts there is a massive back-log and hundreds of thousands of children face a life of darkness unless we can sustain and extend our facilities. And this is where this project can make a difference. The contributions from the project can enable a child to look life in the face and smile again
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.

The classic 1897 gothic horror novel, written by Irish author Bram Stoker, about the vampire Count.< read all 37 reviews
The character of Dracula is depicted as a blood-thirsty vampire. The opening scene is priceless.
An old time carriage is seen traversing a winding road until reaching the infamous castle
where Count Dracula resides. En route, the neighboring villagers warn the travelers of the dangers
inherent in the neighborhood of Dracula's Castle.
The scene is eerie and one wonders why anyone would travel to the castle essentially unaccompanied
at night against the backdrop of the frightening folklore conveyed by the townspeople. The persona
of Dracula is an aristocratic figure who speaks well and adheres to the niceties of formal
introductions and treatment of guests. For those who know better, the advice would be to run like hell
while there is still time to escape almost certain doom.
The story is very engaging. The English diction is presented in the highest order of the belles lettres
style of writing- although the storyline is anything but light literature. Read the book if you dare
but do so during the cover of day. Remember the things that frighten Dracula like the sign of the cross
and mirrors.

Earlier this week, a video showing Cain Velasquez (Pictured) tearing the ACL in his left knee during a practice session just 14 days before last year's knockout loss to Junior dos Santos went viral. The November event was the UFC's debut on FOX and the heavyweight title tilt was the only bout featured in the live broadcast, so the pressure was on for both men to keep the appointment. Speaking of both men, dos Santos also entered the Octagon with an injured knee. So I guess we'll call it even? "I don't think it was the best decision, but you know, I did it anyway, so it's in the past," Velasquez admitted during Wednesday's conference call. "Junior was hurt, and I was hurt, as well, so we're just guys who get in there and fight." Obviously, both injuries were held under lock and key prior to showtime, and that's why Velasquez remained a steady favorite to retain his crown. However, now that Velasquez's more significant wound has been brought to light, many are discrediting dos Santos on the greatest accomplishment of his career because he didn't dethrone a healthy champion. "Cigano" begs to differ because both entered the cage less than their best, and who's to say Velasquez's injury was more significant than his? "Cain Velasquez got an injury at that time, I got an injury at that time, too," dos Santos countered. "But during the fight, he kicked me a lot – like seven times in a minute. When I saw a good opening, I enjoyed that moment. I'm not upset about [what the critics say], I think it's part of their mentality." Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II goes down at UFC 155. Both 265-pounders claim to be 100 percent healthy heading into next Saturday's shootout. If they weren't, it's not like they would say anything anyway…

The Superior Room costs Php 1,700 (there is only one); the two Family Rooms have a fee of Php 1,600, while the Suite Rooms cost about Php 1,150; there are two Deluxe types: type A (there are six) has a price tag of Php 1,050 while class B is at Php 2,950.

The hotel also has a coffee shop where caffeine lovers can have their fill, and there is also a bar where you can choose from a wide selection of drinks, beverages and cool refreshments. There is also a function room that can also double as a multi purpose hall where you can have gatherings, meetings and conventions. The rates here are as friendly and reasonable as the rooms themselves. Furthermore, the hotel also comes with free breakfast and also coffee compliments of the house.
Location and Contact Information
The Tamera Plaza Inn Bacolod address is #79 Lacson St, Bacolod City. It is right in the vicinity of the cinemas, parks, golf courses and also the various bus and jeepney terminals, so coming and going is convenient and simple.

Best Pizza (Thin Crust) St. Louis 2004 - La Pizza
8137 Delmar
University City, MO 63130
Readers' Choice: Imo's
There is no onomatopoetic term that can accurately convey the sound of biting into a perfect New York-style pizza crust. But there is perfect New York-style pizza around these parts that will make that sound for you when you do bite into it, and it's waiting for you at La Pizza, the teeny-tiny joint that plenty of in-the-know U. City dwellers have called upon to deliver dinner since it opened last year. The crust is charred just right: It crunches but still possesses enough fluff to bend and fold without splintering into a bazillion crumby shards. While that crust is like music to your ears, what's on top of it will make your mouth sing. The tomato sauce, prepared daily, is a delectable salty-sweet, and the toppings are topnotch: 100 percent whole-milk mozzarella (which resists burning in the oven and doesn't bleed oil like lesser grades), whole-link sausage, homemade meatballs, even fresh lobster and crab meat courtesy of Bob's Seafood. In short, Paul Bishop and Tony Rivituso have created a thin slice of heaven.

In a file picture taken on September 29, 2012, China's Premier Wen Jiabao raises his glass as he makes a toast during the 63rd National Day reception at the Great Hall of the People. AFP PHOTO / Ed Jones / FILES
BEIJING: China has blocked access to The New York Times website after a lengthy expose claiming the family of Premier Wen Jiabao has amassed assets worth $2.7 billion through a web of investments.
The report published Friday says most of Wen's family's wealth was accumulated after he rose to high office in 2002.
Chinese censors also blocked the Times' Chinese-language site that carried a translated version of the story.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters at a press briefing that the report "blackens China and has ulterior motives."
Times' spokeswoman Eileen Murphy says the paper hoped access to the sites could be restored shortly.
The report is a blow to Wen's reputation as a politician concerned with bettering the lives of ordinary Chinese.

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for Kita-Bayonnaise.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for Kita-Bayonnaise.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for Kita-Bayonnaise.
The large submarine Kita-Bayonnaise (North Bayonnaise) submarine caldera, also known as Myojin Knoll, lies between the Aogashima and Myojinsho (also called Beyonesu Rocks) calderas in the Izu-Bonin arc. The 6-7 km wide caldera, one of nine along this arc, has walls 500-900 m high. The high point on the western rim is a pumice-mantled remnant of the pre-collapse volcanic complex that reaches a depth of 360 m. The caldera walls reveal rhyolitic lava flows, shallow intrusions, and volcaniclastic deposits. A voluminous blanket of coarse rhyolitic pumice from the caldera-forming eruption mantles the rim and outer flanks. Post-caldera eruptions formed a lava dome that rises 250 m above the caldera floor. The age of the caldera is not known, but was considered by Fiske et al. (2001) to perhaps be as young as a few thousand years. An active hydrothermal vent field lies on the eastern caldera floor and has produced a polymetallic sulfide deposit from vent chimneys up to 30 m high that emit fluids as hot as 278 degrees C.
The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Kita-Bayonnaise. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 10,000 years ago, information might be found on the Kita-Bayonnaise page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).
This compilation of synonyms and subsidiary features may not be comprehensive. Features are organized into four major categories: Cones, Craters, Domes, and Thermal Features.

text: Home > Experts > Question Search health advice Find an answer Question Posted by: Briony | 2013-05-07 Q.How do I let go? Morning CS - how do I let go of a person that I feel no longer deserves to be part of my life? I am tired of being emotionally abused and bullied by someone who actually brings nothing more than pain and heartache into my life. Do I just cut him out of my life and never contact him again, how do I go about it? I have tried discussing the issues in our relationship, but have met with nothing but resistance and unkindness. I am giving up on him as I find myself in a perpetually dark place when it comes to this person. I feel as though I am being sucked of every bit of good feelings I have within me and that is not who and what I am. I am generally a caring and compassionate person, but enough is enough already. This person is not even related to me, merely an acquaintance and he is like a parasite, sucking all the goodness out of me, turning me into something I am not and don't want to be. Since I have been friendly with him, I have had these dark thoughts and feelings and I don't like feeling that way. I need to rid myself of this person for once and for all. Thank you. More: All ExpertsCyberShrink Expert's Reply A.CyberShrink - 2013-05-07 Sounds like it'd be an excellent decision to excise this person from your life, but without a lot of details its not easy to say how to go about this. From what you say, you're not married or in any other formal relationship with him, and he's merely an acquaintancwe that has made himself a nuisance. If so, then just say NO --- tell him that you find this relationship is increasingly negative and unpleasant for you, and you would appreciate it if he made no further contact with you. And maybe add that if he persists in intruding on you, you will seek further legal and police advice and obtain a restraining order which would forbid him from contacting you at all. Debate and discussion would probably be fruitless. If the person has shown any signs of physical violence or the potential for that, it might be best to start by contact a group which advises abused women, such as POWA, first, to plan a safe separation.

Reply to ann Posted by: JOHN from Johannesburg | 2013-05-10 As there is no mention of any physical relationship , either present or past , you should not feel bad about terminating an unhappy relationship .People normally have hidden agendas , that only surface after many months .Then the entire picture changes . Jealousy is also a major motivating factor of break downs in relationships. Reply to JOHN from Johannesburg Want to comment?

Accessory of the Week: LifeProof case for iPhone
The LifeProof case for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 is simply amazing. It's waterproof, shockproof, and pretty much everything-you-can-imagine-proof. If your planet got destroyed by an angry red sun, the LifeProof case is what your scientist father would put his iPhone in to rocket it to the safety of earth. Yeah. It's like that.
I've got a long history of loving waterproof cases, and putting them through torture tests, but the LifeProof is different. It's not a big bag. It's a terrifically trim, superbly svelte case that at first glance is hard to take seriously. It just looks like a regular case.
But it's so much more.
First, it's designed to military specifications. That means everyone from Snake Doctor to Solid Snake could carry it on their belt. It's also been drop tested up to 6.6 feet, so not only could it survive all manner of ninja rolls and HALO drops, it could probably survive occasional use as a blunt impact weapon.
If you're worried that all that protection comes at a price, don't be. The iPhones ports are covered but they're still accessible when you need them. And if you think defensiveness means drabness, the LifeProof comes in white, purple, pink, and black.
What's more, once you're iPhone is safe and sound in a LifeProof case, you can add extra attachments like armbands and bike mounts so you can put that extra protection to good use. Turn the camera on, strap your iPhone into place, and you're an instant action film star.
If you work in the military, in law enforcement, in construction, in child-care (!), if you live an active lifestyle and enjoy camping, hiking, extreme sports, extreme climates, or you just want the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your iPhone is safe no matter what you throw at it -- or what you throw it at! -- the LifeProof case is for you.

Accessory of the Week: LifeProof case for iPhone
Hahahhaa... I'm using Lifeproof Nuud (Screenless case). and the iphone's touchscreen doesn't work underwater. Tested it in a tub. That's why you need to press the Volume buttons to be able to capture photos / videos.
Touch screen is not usable under water, but you can use the volume button to snap a pic.
Even while in the shower, if too much water is in the screen, it is not responsive. BUT, this case is still awesome!
Meant to type "on" the screen.
This looks slimmer that the Otter Box, but the belt clip is a separate purchase, and $29.99. The clip has a great design, and comes with two style clips for different size belts, but wish It was included in the package at a better price for both. Would love to see the testing they did on what I thing would be the weakest part, the charging port cover. How long with regular use will it last?
Good timing.
We JUST came from the pool where we took our phones in their Lifeproof cases, for the first time. I'd been using mine outside of the case because I was getting some kind of light diffusion in certain lighting, before. I put that sucker back in the case once I decided on the pool and it was GREAT. I didn't submerge it but I took many more pictures and video than I would've felt comfortable taking without the case. And handling it was far less of a concern while water was dripping and pouring off of me.
One day, I'll be brave enough to submerge it (besides the time I did it for testing purposes... with no phone in it) but 1) my lady's friend bricked his phone when the case failed him (or he failed to secure it properly?) and 2) the lens came off of my previous Lifeproof case so I exchanged it at Best Buy for another unit.
I really do plan to use it under water, though, instead of buying a waterproof camera for scuba and other excursions during our next cruise.
Cant believe these posts. Bought two of these cases for me and my wife. Brought them back after one day. Could not hear the people on the phone and had a terrible time typing on the screen. Yes the water proof is cool. And it is thin and light. Was told at Best Buy that it is the most returned case they sell. No one keeps them longer than one to two days before returning them they told us. So all of you must not use your phones that much or Best Buy sells reject cases.
I used mine regularly and am using one again now. I can't help wondering if the phone was put in the case correctly. The manufacturer goes through a lot of trouble to explain how he phone needs to be "installed."
Correct me if I'm misremembering but I thought there was a note in there about pushing the air out of the case before fully closing it. If one didn't, there's a chance that it would be difficult to use the touchscreen.
My lady and I dig ours. I hope you found something that will work for you for the duration.
Yes, this case is "a fail." I bought it at Best Buy, took it out to the parking lot and tried it out, and immediately returned it. You simply cannot type on it properly due to the gap between the phone's screen and the case's screen--you're constantly missing or having to type the same character more than once etc. You can have lots of fancy or expensive features, but if you don't get the basic functionality down, you're wasting your time.
Hope they fix the problem someday--I'd immediately buy one again. But for now, I'm back with the Otterbox Defender.....
Great idea and they are very close to success. I purchased this product several months ago and it worked as it was supposed to. Took great underwater video, used touch screen underwater, took underwater pictures. However, the case makes it difficult to have phone conversations. The person you are talking to can not hear you very well. Other then that issue it's a great case.
I've had mine for 2 month now and I dig it. I bought it before a trip to Punta Cana. Served me very well on the beach and in the water. Shocked the hell out of some resort guests when I threw my phone into the water. That was fun. Only 3 complaints. It's a bit bulky and doesn't slide out of my pocket easily. It's not friendly to any iphone docking device. Had to order a specific dock extender for that. Lastly, it's a drag having to screw in the headphone adapter every time I want to listen to music. I've had no issues with call quality or the touchscreen. It's all fully functional. That is all.
My mother has this case because she kept dropping her phone and was worried it might break. This case has kept her phone in mint condition for 6 mints now. BUT.... I would NOT recommend it for several reasons. 1. The screen cover that's built into the case makes touching objects on screens difficult, the cover is simpy too thick. 2. The phone keeps going onto silent accidentally (also a bad design sensibility). 3. The sleep/wake button is too hard to press.
Yes, it protects your phone awfully well, but also makes owning an iPhone unpleasant. NOT recommended!
I've had mine for 2 days and I LOVE IT! I have a pool and really want to throw it in but... I'm a little nervous! I got it to take to the beach and I've done the water test so I should just go for it! I love the feel of the touchscreen. It keeps me from typing the wrong letters... Lol. Well, wish me luck with the full submersion, it should take place tomorrow.
I am on my 4th iPhone as of today. I finally smartened up and got this case.
Track record for previous iPhones:
- Had phone in purse (otter box and all) spilled my road soda in purse.
- Toilet
- Toilet
Not cool! I am hoping this fancy, slick case will save my phone from the next eminent swim...
Works just fine so far. A little muffled for calls, but I just turned the volume up all the way and that is just fine. Touch screen works just fine as well. I had the salesperson at AT&T install it for me :)
Not very happy with Lifeproof at the moment. I bought an iPhone for my son and the lifproof case about a month ago. Initially it worked as advertised but recently the case leaked and now I have a damaged iPhone. I called Apple and can have it replaced via the AppleCare+ warranty for $49 but when i called lifeproof they will only replace the case. What good does new case do for a damaged phone?!
I realize their warranty say it doesn't cover the phone, but the adverstising on the box is very misleading. Just had to get this off my chest.
Thanks Apple for stepping up, really dissappointed in Lifeproof (IJS).
Just bought the case, and I really want to like it! But there is a pillow of air underneath my touch screen and I cannot seem to get it to go away. I pressed, squeezed, but no luck. In order to use my touchscreen I have to press hard which makes texting and typing very difficult, and there is an audible tap each time I press it. I would love to have anyone's suggestions on how to fix this problem because I really want to keep this case! Thank you!
I purchased this case with my new iPhone. Did everything as per instructional video and did the water test for two hours. Installed the phone and never opened it till yesterday. After a day on the beach, where I used the phone to take some videos and pictures returned to the hotel and discovered that the phone is not working. Carefully opened the case and discovered that there were some moisture inside and the phone is dead.
I think the case is nice but it is not waterproof as advertised.
It can handle a light splash of water or wet hands. But not more than that.
I am a proud owner of a new iPhone 5 and appreciate the descriptions everyone offered with this case. They were all very helpful and have allowed me to have direction on this rather confusing topic. I have never owned a cell phone before and the iPhone is a little overwhelming at the moment.

I am a new convert to Islam, but have to divorce as Christian husband will not convert
I am a new convert to Islam. My husband is a Christian and now I am told we may not stay together. How do I do this? I do not want to hurt him, our children or be alone. We love one another. He hates Islam and will not convert. Please tell me what I can do.
14 Responses »
Asalaamu Walaikum,
Firstly congratulations on your conversion sister. May Allah bless you in all of your efforts and Insh'Allah (God Willing) give you strength and guidance through this situation.
I know this must be very difficult but Allah does not give us trials beyond our capabilities, so you will get throught this dear sister, with the help of Allah. Put all your affairs in His Hands and leave all your worries with Him. Make du'a (supplication/prayer) to Him; ask Him for guidance.
As a revert myself, I wouldn't want to give you a ruling on this situation, so I would advise you to talk to a local scholar or your local imam and or muslim charity. Try and go to your local masjid(mosque) and seek out knowledgeable sisters who may be able to relate or point you in the right direction.
Allah brought you to this beautiful deen and He will not abandon you. Neither will your sisters in islam.
May Allah bring you what is best for you in your worldly affairs and your hereafter. I will remember you in my du'a.
Allah knows best.
Dear Sister iamnew,
I first want to say Alhamdulilah in your conversion to Islam (although a better term for you would be a revert since everyone was born Muslim) may Allah give you and your children a long & healthy life, a righteous good husband, good Iman & a place in Jannah inshAllah. May Allah give your husband guidance to the right path. Ameen.
I am so sorry that you are going through this, it is a very difficult time in your life. I am very sorry but as a Muslim woman you are not allowed to marry or stay married to a non Muslim man. I wish I can tell you something different but I can't because this is something that can not be changed & is for all Muslim women, converts/reverts & born Muslims. This should not prevent you from loving Islam & you should not give up Islam just to stay with your husband.
If you wish to stay with him, explain to him about the beauty of Islam and answer any questions he has for you and why he dislikes Islam. Give him some time to take it in and allow him to do his own research. In the end it is up to Allah, so pray to Him to give your husband guidance. If this does not work then you have to let him go.
It will be extremely painful but put your trust in Allah, he will protect you and make life easier for you if you sacrifice your love for your husband for Allah's sake, the reward will be very great. Nothing is greater than sacrificing your love for Allah, letting Him know that He means more to you. It will not be easy but you will get through it. If you do it for His sake, He will take care of your children.
Since your husband does not like Muslims he will eventually make it difficult for you to practice Islam. This will put much stress in your marriage & there will always be a chance that your marriage will fail in the future. I know from experience how hard this is because my sister was in love with a Christian man who had no intentions of becoming a Muslim. They were so in love that they had planned their marriage but at the end she realized that she could not go against Allah for the rest of her married life to a non Muslim. It was a very hard year for her but Alhamdulila Allah has shown her the light and she got over him. Sister please understand that many people go through this and you are not alone, but many of these people put their trust in Allah and He gets them through even the darkest moments of their lives & they come out stronger, happier than they were before. You just need to have faith because this is a test for you.
Read the Quran, pray, fast and allow yourself see the big picture by detaching yourself from your situation & looking at the consequences and the benefits of the choice you will make. This life is nothing compared to Akhira (afterlife). This life is only a few years, Akhira is forever. Do you want to continue being with your husband and be happy for a few years and be miserable forever after death, or do you want to suffer for a bit losing your husband now (suffering is also a form of purification from some sins) but be able to stay in Jannah forever with the man who is your real true soulmate? Only you can make this decision. But know that you are not alone, we have all dealt with this in one way or another, it either happened to us or to those we know. Many people have reverted to Islam from all walks of life, from every age, every situation including those who are married to non Muslims. But being a true Muslim is giving up your desires for Allah's sake, especially if you desire what Allah has forbid. I pray Allah will help you make the right decision. Ameen.
We are all here for you if you need any support. You are never alone.
Islam is very clear on this. A Muslim woman cannot remain married to a non-Muslim. This question was posed to Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid, a well known scholar of Islam:
Question: What is the ruling about remaining in a marriage when the wife has become a Muslim but her husband is still a kaafir? She has children with him and is afraid that they may go astray and be lost, and she hopes that her husband may be guided to Islam if she stays with him.
Sheikh Munajjid answered as follows:
Praise be to Allaah.
As soon as a woman embraces Islam and her husband refuses to do likewise, the marriage is annulled and it is not permissible for her to live with him. But she should wait out the length of the 'iddah period (the waiting period).
If he embraces Islam, she may go back to him and the previous marriage contract is still counted as valid, but if he does not embrace Islam before the 'iddah is over, then they are no longer married.
If he subsequently embraces Islam and they want to get back together, a new marriage contract must be drawn up. It is not permissible to continue the marriage on the basis of being kind to him.
Majma' al-Fiqh al-Islami (Islamic Fiqh Council), p. 43.
The children should follow the Muslim parent, so try your best to get custody of them. May Allaah help us and help you by His kindness and mercy.
Islam Q&A
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
Also please note that there should be no physical contact between the husband and wife during the 'iddah period.
The fact that your husband hates Islam makes it especially crucial that you separate yourself from him, as you will never be able to live your life properly as a Muslim woman while married to him.
Keep on praying to Allah to guide him. Only Allah can change his heart. But in the meantime you cannot remain married to him. I know this is not easy, but this is the way of it in Islam.
IslamicAnswers.com Editor
Assalamu alaikum sister.
If and when you do decide to leave, be VERY careful how you go about doing it. I have heard of many heartbreaking cases of mothers whose children were taken away from them by the courts because of their accepting Islam. If I were you, I would not tell my husband that the reason for divorce is specifically Islam; I would just say something like, "It's not working out/we've grown apart/we're too different." Try not to drastically change your lifestyle (i.e. don't go from looking like a regular Western woman to suddenly wearing hijab, niqab or burqa) because this could be used against you in court as unfortunately I have seen. Your husband could tell the courts that you have become 'unstable' and they will have an excuse to take your children away.
May Allah swt make it easy for you sister.
Am a new convert having financia needs. Pls need ur help, my parent took all i have saying i wil come back. But i love islam. I need zakat.
Salam alyekoum,
How to contact the person who needs zakat?
To the original questioner, there are really different opinions on this. Some schoolers go with the notion that when a woman converts to islam, her marriage with her nonmuslim husband becomes invalid/cancelled, and this schoolers gave there reasons. While other schoolers said the woman can choose to still remain with her nonmuslim husband, provided that the children would become muslims, and provided that there is a strong hope that the nonmuslim husband would revert to islam., and this schoolers also gave there reasons. maybe this would comfort you.. But as far as am concerned, i think i would go with the 1st notion
asalam walekum rahamatulla hi barkathu sister one day our propathe asked hasrath umar ur din is not complete then hazrath asked how then our propeth (swasm) said love towards me must be dearar than ur lives so sister if u want to be close to allha & our propeth peace be upon him u should sacrify every thing
if the newly muslim woman embrace the islam and that means the marriage to the christian man already canselled or annuled, why she still needs the devorce paper if she wants to marry a muslim man?
Always ask Allah to convert him.We are weak.But Allah is strong.
i am a Christian wife my X who have been working to K.S.A. want to turn into Muslim faith as what he likes.and he also want a divorce to me but we are in a catholic country.no divorce allowed.if he convert into Muslim faith will he grant his divorce to me?

- 13 Assassins
- Production year: 2010
- Country: Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 141 mins
- Directors: Takashi Miike
- Cast: Goro Inagaki, Ittoku Kishibe, Ken Mitsuishi, Koji Yakusho, Takayuki Yamada, Yusuke Iseya
Over the past decade, director Takashi Miike has churned out gleefully extreme films Audition, Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q, but it's difficult to detect much subversion in this sober, classical effort (remade from a 1963 original). 13 Assassins musters nearly twice as many swordsmen as Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and is about two-thirds as good, although it delivers the requisite genre thrills. Those only really come in the final, cathartic 45 minutes. Before that, it's all moody set-up: trusted warrior Kôji Yashuko assembles a force to halt the rise of a bloodthirsty young lord who dismembers women for kicks. When they finally ambush his 200-man retinue, in a deserted village, it's a virtuoso succession of traps, explosives, arrows, incendiary cattle and gracefully choreographed, admittedly credibility-stretching, swordfights. As for the outcome, let's just say there's more need for an undertaker than a first-aid kit. Miike's quest for respectable maturity seems to be working though; his follow-up, another samurai movie, is in competition at this year's Cannes film festival.
