Do expats deserve permanent visas?
A debate is raging over whether expatriates in the Gulf should be granted long-term residency – or even citizenship.
February 15, 2010 1:38 by kippreport
The issue of granting long-term Gulf expatriates permanent residency visas brings with it strong arguments, both for and against. And when it comes to giving expats outright citizenship, things get even more emotive.
Debate over this issue has intensified over the last few days, with three prominent Emirati commentators contributing to the discussion.
Mishaal Al Gergawi recently wrote on his blog that anyone pursuing a claim to Emirati citizenship must fully embrace the local culture. He has also called for long-term residency visas to be made available to some expatriates in the UAE.
"I think nationalising people in the UAE is crucial and must be undertaken with strict cultural rather than intellectual and financial criteria. This is not Canada," wrote Gergawi. "To all those who complain about being here for 30 years and not being eligible for citizenship I tell you this: Your contributions are deeply appreciated and have been duly compensated for but you have not embraced the culture… and there is a culture."
Sultan Al Qassimi, a columnist for The National, added his voice to the debate a few days later. He argued that the "vast majority of expats would not qualify to be nationals" due to their failure to integrate with the local culture. However, he spoke in favor of a long-term residency programme: "I would prefer that those who worked and saved money in the UAE in their productive years could enjoy this wealth and spend it in the country, for instance, in the local malls, using our airports and eating in our restaurants, when they retire," wrote Al Qassimi.
And today, Mishal Kanoo, deputy chairman of the Kanoo Group, joined the debate, calling for permanent visas for long-term expats. "Someone who has been here for 30-odd years, in the country, they should naturally get residency. That is my opinion," he told Arabian Business.
It is hard not to agree with these respected Emirati commentators. It seems deeply unfair that expatriates who have worked for 30-plus years in the Gulf should be forced to leave when they retire.
But the question of granting expatriates outright citizenship, which brings many additional benefits on top of the right to residency, is much more complex. According to a recent report by the National Human Resources Development and Employment Authority, UAE nationals made up 24.4 percent of the total population in 1995, but this could drop to 13.3 percent of population this year. Granting citizenship to long-term expatriates would of course help combat this imbalance. But they would never, of course, be considered 'true' Emiratis.

Citizenship and long term residency mean very little if the laws of the country do not protect these rights from the government itself.
Furthermore, UAE Citizenship or long term residency is, in my opinion, not feasible until a large portion of the current Emirati population or should I say future Emirati population is able to reach a measurable and sustainable level of education allowing them to take of advantage of equal opportunity with their brothers and sisters who originate from other parts of the world.
Last but not least, I personally support the initiative and subsequent articles on the subject by my peers, especially them being Emirati because as a non citizen, non long term resident like myself who has lived here on and off for 30 years, it helps me hold on to the hope that I may finally call the UAE – home.
I can understand why Emiratis wouldnt want to be swamped by foreigners from different cultures and its their right. What I dont understand is:
1) Why does citizenship have to be defined by something as restrictive as "accent", or "food" (cue points made by Sultan and others previously, saying expats "dont eat like us" etc)? The average Emirati hardly eats anything poles apart from what many expats eat.
2) When Sultan blames people for not adopting the culture, does he know that expats are discouraged, sometimes directly , and sometimes indirectly from copying local culture. So why blame them when they dont adopt it? For e.g. I have heard that Non Gulf citizens cant wear the Gulf headdress .
Permanent residence or citizenship may be offered to exceptional individuals who have contributed to the development of the UAE. Majority of the expats who have been in the UAE for more than 20 years are more opportunists than contributors.
In the 1990, the expat employees of Dubai Municipality were SPECIFICALLY asked not to dress like UAE nationals.
They were asked not to wear the white kandoora, etc…and stick to their pants, etc.
I know this is not true today, as no one would probably stop you from wearing or dressing like a national.
This debate needs balance…and the time has certainly come.
Whilst I can say that about half my friends are Emirati, but that's only due to the fact I've lived here for over half my life, including half of my schooling. For those who come here later in life it's often difficult to become social with Emiratis since a significant proportion of them have no interest in mixing.
How can Jacob implicate majority of expats as opportunists rather than contributors? how do you think buildings, construction and engineering activities began in the UAE? because of expats and their experiences and knowledge. for the asians from the Indian subcontinent as well as the far east, for the Arab expats- yes, we're here to earn money because we can earn a higher income (or was the case until recently, see India for eg) here rather than back home, if you call that being opportunistic- hell the world's population is no different is it?
some western expats come here to earn a tax-free income and avoid going back because they cant reconcile with paying taxes again in their home countries, so stay on until retirement perhaps or move around other tax-free countries. are they opportunists?- perhaps.
Integration with Emirati culture can only happen if the Emiratis were our primary points of contacts in day to day scenarios, service staff/supervisor at a restaurant, taxi driver, other customer service professionals, etc. but they're not. as far as culture is concerned, i know that Emiratis themselves are concerned that their local culture is eroding as the Emirati youth is fast embracing western cultures and globalisation has become inevitable for them, so how are expats then expected to embrace a culture that is struggling to be preserved?

This year's garden details:
Winchester Place Garden: Zachary and Leon have combined the best of English gardens with southern charm of gardens in Charleston and Savannah. They have used boxwood lined perennial beds, a basalt rock and iron fence, a two-tiered cast fountain, a dining terrace, and a cocktail terrace to define the garden rooms. There are both sun and shade loving perennial beds. (Photo on the right by Zachary Baker)
Mitchell Garden: Christine and James have spent 15 years editing and revising their space into what they call their "private paradise." It is a lush Northwest garden with perennials blooming from early spring through late summer and many conifers. The installations of two brick patios, stone paths, multiple trellises for hops used by the home brewer, a large raised stone bed in the back yard, bird houses and feeders and an edible garden were designed for multiple and year round use and enjoyment. (Photo on the left by Christine Mitchell)
Prewitt Garden: Nancy and Gordon have been revising and expanding their 1/3 acre garden for 39 years. They now have 1000 square feet of raised garden beds, a greenhouse and a hoop house all of which allow them to harvest edibles and enjoy tender succulents and perennials throughout the year, even in winter! Add to this their fruit trees, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and a front yard which is all perennial beds. Their garden has year round appeal and utility.
Schmitt Garden: Cathie and Al have evolved their garden over the past 16 years as a modern Mediterranean space with emphasis on outdoor living spaces. It has been recently designed and renovated by landscape designer, Marcia Westcott Peck, with water features, custom trellises, potted vegetables, year round flora and a meandering path that make it a delight at all times of year. (Photo on the left by Marcia Westcott Peck)
Peck Garden: Marcia and Dennis use their ¼ acre garden space as a constant source of projects they have featured in the column they write for the Home & Garden section of The Oregonian. Some of the garden features may look familiar to you including stone mosaics, two water features, a gazebo and a rustic arch built from their plant materials, stone walls and a fire pit. Marcia has used her landscape designing talents, and Dennis's strong back, to highlight the many projects in their landscape of bottle bush, rice paper plant, ornamental grasses, unusual sedums and other plantings.

I began thinking about the concepts presented in this work from around the age of 12, in 1984. Later on, as I read and reread Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. I started writing this when I had learnt enough to form a reasonably cogent and coherent sentences in the new hybrid language of computational biology. This occurred when I was 17, in 1990, when I began my undergraduate degrees in Computing Science and Genetics (with minors in Mathematics and Microbiology). I have largely ignored this work once I laid out most of the ideas I had then because what I thought would take me months or years (the protein folding problem) has consumed my life and then some.
The book is thus an ongoing process. The other chapters will be published as they're written. The reason for the hold up is because solving the protein folding problem is highly nontrivial. I've realised methods I've proposed will not work and I am trying new approaches. Thus the reason for the delay in including the chapters that go into details. If nothing, it should make for some thought provoking reading (along the lines of certain pop science books).
Some of the ideas here (simulating an artificial cell in molecular detail in virtuale, for example) have begun to be thought about seriously in science (1997), but those ideas were proposed in this work as early as 1992-93 and were thought about in the roughest forms in 1984.

Another spectacular cabaret show, very similar to 'the Moulin Rouge' offering similar attractions. I thought it was slightly better than the Moulin Rouge and we seemed less crammed in and photos were allowed and cloakroom was free! Also the staff were more attentive. Still as pricey as the other show.

Great show but arrive early you will have to stand and wait still because the first in get ushered to the best tables with the best views.
The show is definitely more of a cabaret show than a sex or peep show, even though some dancers are topless it is not sexual of emphasized. There were young children there but some parents may object to their children seeing breasts.

This was a cabaret show on ANOTHER LEVEL. I recommend this to EVERYONE! The lighting, makeup, costumes, dance sequences, and even the intermission were all excellent! Every single person on stage was talented and beautiful. It is two solid hours of constant fun without a dull moment. The only segment I didn't care for was the clowns...I don't like clowns! And sometimes the men's time coordination was noticeably off. But that is just me nitpicking. 4.5 stars if I could, but a well deserved 5 star show!

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience any of the locations listed. Paris Trip (travel agent) were very cooperative and nice. Their drivers were superb on the night and picked up our group of four on time. They spoke both French and English, and provided us with very descriptive information on how the night would proceed, where to be at what times and where transport locations would be to go between locations. The dinner at 58 Tour Eiffel was lovely with spectacular views from the first level. The Seine River cruise was excellent to listen to the commentary in the language of your choice while seeing the city at night from a different angle. The Moulin Rouge does not need any review but was an excellent way to cap off the night. I tried to get Moulin Rouge from the Official site and ticket booth but was fully booked over the Christmas/New Year period. I found booking through Viator very easy and got me into the Cabaret at last minute during this time.

Very professionally organized and handled by Viator who assured 5 of us that we could be seated together which Moulin Rouge honored. One would almost expect after all of these years, that it would be a jaded experience, but in reality, all of the staff at Moulin Rouge were very welcoming and sincerely worked to ensure a totally pleasurable evening. The theatre and entertainment had the wonderful old cabaret ambience and the transition acts were a delight. Highly recommend.

The four of us ladies thoroughly enjoyed the Moulin Rouge show. We took a taxi to and from the venue with ease. The cabaret show was interesting, funny, colourful and spectacular. There was singing, dancing, comedy, acrobatics, animal acts..... Was a great night out in Paris.

Overpriced and over rated show. Nothing out of this world, and I'm not picky. I know it has great history, but it's a bit to tailored to the older American public. And I know what I'm talking about because I live in Naples Florida. I expected more of the French culture in the show. For people that say it's not for children, of course not its a French cabaret show at 9 or 11pm. The area is not the best in Paris although you can catch a taxi, or the metro very easily.

Fantastic. It was a belated Anniversary present for both of us and we had been looking forward to it for a few months.The Cabaret was brilliant . So much more than the usual fare of "tits and bums". We must have had the two best seats in the house . The staff ,the food , the wine and the ambiance was absolutely first class , as was the ease of getting to and from the show. Great value for money and a tremendous memory to reflect on for years to come.

I would highly recommend this tour. The driver was very knowledgeable and helpful and got you where you needed to be at the right time, made sure we had a good time all round.
Dinner at the Eiffel Tower 58 was fantastic, although there was some confusion between the operator and the restaurant on a Vegetarian option for my wife (not easy in France!), saying this the restaurant was brilliant and got her 3 excellent courses at zero notice.
The Sienne River cruise was super busy and a little impersonal, with individual audio commentaries for languages, but some of the views were stunning.
Definitely the climax of the evening was the Moulin rouge Cabaret. It was unmissable, and would recommend, but be aware seating is random so you might be right at the back with only a partial view. This is the venue, not the operator, but would recommend getting in early for a better seat.

The show was fabulous - not to be missed! The VIP status was nice, and worth the extra money. The champagne was great. I was glad, however, that we didn't spring for dinner. (We had a fabulous crepe after the show at a stall right outside the cabaret for 6 euros.)

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, On arrival we presented our viator voucher and were shown to our seas without issue. Our seats were indeed VIP right up close to the stage in the centre of the venue. As we were a couple sitting opposite each other there was an empty table either side of our table with our champagne bucket on one and the other vip guests champagne bucket on the other which meant we had much more room at our table. Meals came out promptly and were excellent. Timing of the show starting was impeccable, just as we had finished desert we literally had minutes before the lights dimmed and the show started. great show with singing and male and female cabaret dancers. We left the show feeling extremely satisfied and will return again next time in Paris.

My husband and I highly enjoyed our show. The dinner, wine and champagne tasted great. The waiters and staff were very friendly and helpful. I was impressed with the variety of acts in the show. Most everyone spoke some English which I appreciated, being American. I felt that we got the same Cabaret experience as Moulin Rouge, but without the price tag.

Ted Simons: Gene modifying technology is increasingly being seen as a way to eliminate everything from invasive species to eliminating certain insect-borne diseases. But ASU evolutionary ecologist James Collins wants scientists to consider the ethical, regulatory and philosophical implications of genetic alterations. James Collins joins us now to discuss gene modifying technology. Good to have you here.
James Collins: Thank you.
Ted Simons: This is -- this kind of stuff is fascinating. Because you really, as you're trying to point out, you really don't know what you're getting into completely, do you?
James Collins: It's really hard to make predictions in these sorts of biological systems. It's much the point of what we've been talking about. It falls into the category of what some of my colleagues call anticipatory governance. It's the notion of anticipating what some of these changes might be, and putting in place the sort of regulations that would be really helpful in helping us control these technologies as we start to potentially put them in the field.
Ted Simons: What is gene modifying technology? What are gene drives?
James Collins: So it would be a case in which you combine mathematics, engineering, biology, to alter the genome in very predictable ways and do it quite quickly, with changes that you can then have individuals perpetuate from time to time. And therefore push this change through a population much more efficiently than has been done in the past.
Ted Simons: Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm wading in deep here. RNA program to edit precise DNA sequences. Is that in the ballpark there?
James Collins: That's in the ballpark. The engineering part of this uses the RNA, the messenger molecule, to change the basic genetic machinery of an individual. To put a simple example on the table, it would be a case where you would use one of these gene drives, for example, in a species that has two sexes, males and females, where the sex of a baby is determined by the male whether it produces a male chromosome or a female chromosome. The males would produce only male chromosomes. Meaning that eventually you wind up with a population or species that's all males and the bisexual species goes extinct.
Ted Simons: If it goes extinct and it's responsible for insect borne diseases,that's a good thing.
James Collins: It's easy to see why there's an argument for driving to extinction some types of species. There are species in sex that carry vectors for malaria, dengue fever, reducing that sort of burden on human populations.
Ted Simons: What are the concerns?
James Collins: We don't know enough about the role of insects in the basic biology, basic ecology of these ecosystems to make a prediction about what the consequences are of losing a species even like a mosquito from the ecosystem.
Ted Simons: If you're looking to get rid of an invasive plant, you're going get rid of it but you don't know what else you'll get rid of.
James Collins: That's right, that's right. It's not unlike any kind of technology. The upside is the capacity for reach in and eliminate an invasive species. The downside could be you don't have sufficient control over the genome and it could get out into a beneficial species.
Ted Simons: I was going ask about the stability of this. It sounds good, sounds like it lasts, but we don't even know if it lasts, do we?
James Collins: Right, right. There's a lot of basic research that's needed there. The problem is really quite interesting. You have basic research advances and applied research coming in right on top of it. You can see the two things going together but we don't know enough on the basic side to make the kind of predictions you want in order to use it in very responsible ways on the applied side.
Ted Simons: So again, when we were talking about -- I think you just referred to it moving from species to species, that's possible as well that. Sounds really tough.
James Collins: It is possible, because we know that in the natural world there are such things as lateral gene transfer, when genes move between different species. In fact, it's been a key part of the evolutionary process over time.
Ted Simons How far along are we with gene modifying technology right now?
James Collins: We've had some gene modifying technologies for quite a while. Genetically modifying organisms we have. The issues with these new techniques are, are we able to do it very precisely, very quickly and get changes that are very different from the organisms we have right now.
Ted Simons: And with that in mind, what kind of safety measures do you think are needed out there?
James Collins: We need to be able to step back. These technologies are imagined and being brought forward. They have groups of individuals that we argue in our paper are by definition interdisciplinary. You really want philosophers, ethicists, scientists, engineers all sitting at the table and you want ordinary citizens at the table discussing what the pros and cons are of doing these sorts of technological advances.
Ted Simons: Let's say the mosquitos.
James Collins: Sure.
Ted Simons: People are sitting at a table what, are they saying?
James Collins: They are saying the advantages from their perspective and what the disadvantages might be from the perspective of an individual who doesn't quite agree. Somehow you have to bring these voices together in a way that you come to a decision that's responsible.
Ted Simons: That is happening to a certain degree now? You may not think it's happening enough but is it happening to a certain degree?
James Collins: It is, to a certain degree. We have experience in other sorts of areas. And bringing these sorts of committees and discussions together to make decisions about the best way to move forward.
Ted Simons: How is it being handled? Obviously you can get roundtable groups and these sorts of things but how are you getting these sorts of people together?
James Collins: In our case we use a pair of workshops we organized at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the other at University of California at Berkeley. We had scientists, agency people, we had people from EPA, all sitting at the table, philosophers. All sitting at the table and having these discussions about how they think the best way forward might be.
Ted Simons: Are they specific on certain invasive species or kind of looking at the big picture and basically more of a big umbrella kind of a thing?
James Collins: Kind of a combination of both. We have power workshops with individuals coming in with very specific cases. They were at the leading edge of this sympathetic biology technology. Then you draw on that to see what types of generalizations might be able to come forward.
Ted Simons: If you're actively working in the lab, and you've got a eureka moment here, are you going to pull back because some philosopher says, wait a minute, be careful.
James Collins: We are charged to think in that way at all times. Yes, that's exactly the issue being put on the table. There's a together which you want to be responsible. Us a begin to think through what these advances could be. And furthermore, how you can use them both to advance basic science but also to advance in the applied area.
Ted Simons: How does the business world get into all of this? A lot of scientists are developing a lot of things for profit, for industry. How does that play into all of this?
James Collins: Among the cases we had several of them were from business out of biotechnology. With one was a fascinating case in which the genes for bioluminescense, the genes that cause organisms in the ocean to glow at night, have been introduced into a small plant. Now the plant glows.
Ted Simons: Oh, my goodness.
James Collins: Glowing plants. And the question then is, what do you do with that sort of technology? It's being made available. You can get seeds for glowing plants. How do you monitor and regulate that sort of technology?
Ted Simons: Everything from insects getting the time of day wrong to birds getting the time of day wrong.
James Collins: That's the point. Especially from an ecological and environmental point of view.
Ted Simons: Last question: Is the march toward modification, is this inexorable? We can talk about this all we want. As human beings, this is going to happen, isn't it?
James Collins: I think these technological advances are there on the table. They are being brought forward. And the issue that again that goes along with this notion of anticipatory governance, a big word for a simple idea, getting in front of the technologies and having these conversations and making these decisions before they are released.
Ted Simons: I know you're having these conversations, but are people listening?
James Collins: Well, we're waiting to see if they are going to listen on this one. We do think they are listening, yes.
Ted Simons: Very interesting stuff. Thanks for joining us, very interesting.
James Collins: Welcome, it's been a pleasure.

Several insurance executives gathered for a conference last week declined to comment, including officials from USAA and Hartford, but a State Farm executive had this answer in the video below: He said it's unclear if and when consumers will see savings because of "cost drivers" not fully addressed by the legislation, such as hurricanes.
Meanwhile, the group that organized the conference, the Insurance Information Institute, reported last week that U.S. insurers' net profit dropped 12 percent to $7.8 billion in the first quarter, largely because of underwriting losses, when premiums didn't keep pace with claims and other expenses. Claims payouts stayed the same but claims estimating and legal costs increased, as did insurers' overhead expenses.
In Florida, Allstate's Castle Key Insurance Co., which reported an underwriting loss of $40 million last year, will defend its proposed 31 percent average statewide rate hike at an Office of Insurance Regulation meeting July 19. Its sister company, Castle Key Indemnity, will argue for a 36 percent increase.

Just wondering what "artificial" supplements you are taking, if at all. I'm taking prenatals and fish oil/omega 3s. Was told (not by ob/gyn) that taking FE supplements helps with the fatigue/low energy. But I don't feel unusually run down (not yet!) And I'm trying to increase intake of iron-rich foods, e.g., spinach, lean meats, etc.
Taking FE supplements? Doc's orders? Does it help?
Comments (5)
Make sure to run it by your OB doc first, and check what you're getting from your prenatals for FE already. I had a different doc recommend me to use extra B6 to help with swelling and tingling in my hands, but the level she advised was WAY more than my OB was comforatable with, especially since I was already getting some in my prenatals. So it's always good to check. My OB is happy with what I get out of my prenatals, and only suggested a supplement of Vitamin D.
I've also heard that extra FE causes constipation (like we need anything else going crazy with our bodies!)... so you might want to make sure if you're going to supplement, it won't be too much (especially if you're not really feeling over-tired or run down).
Married to Jamie on 1/12/07.
Our beautiful daughter Ava was born on 10/28/09 (due date 11/19/09), and charming son Reese born on 5/9/12 (due 5/17/12).
I'm on Iron 3x a day (was 4) with no change in iron levels from when I was taking none. We think i just don't absorb it through my stomach so now I'm on a different iron waiting to see if there's a change. Also got an Iron injection last week. Awesome experience. Doc also has me on aspirin as well as prenatals.
Expecting Baby #2, MAy 4, 2012
Mom to: Joseph Lawton, B 6/22/10
I end up on iron pills when I am pregnant even with taking prenatals. Thought I had escaped them this time but my 28 week blood work said otherwise so taking them again. Yes they do cause constipation so take some colace with them!

Bone infection - discharge
You have osteomyelitis, a bone infection caused by bacteria or other germs. You may have been in the hospital to treat a broken bone or to have some other surgery on your bones. Your surgeon may also have removed some infection from your bones or drained an abscess.
Your doctor will ask you to take medicines called antibiotics at home to kill the infection in your bone. At first, you will probably need antibiotics given into a vein in your arm, chest, or neck. At some point, your doctor may switch you to antibiotic pills.
While you are taking antibiotics, your health care provider may check your blood for signs of toxicity from the medicine.
You probably need to take this medicine for at least 3 to 6 weeks. Sometimes, you will need to take it for several months.
If you are getting antibiotics through a vein in your arm, chest, or neck:
You may need to store some of the medicine at home. Be sure to do it the way your nurse or doctor told you to.
You must learn how to keep the area where your IV is clean and dry. You also need to watch for signs of infection (such as redness, swelling, fever, or chills).
Make sure you give yourself the medicine at the right time. DO NOT stop taking antibiotics when you begin to feel better. If you do not take all of your medicine, or take it at the wrong time, the germs may become harder to treat. The infection may come back.
If you had surgery on your bone, you may need to wear a splint, brace, or sling to protect your bone. Your health care provider will tell you whether you can walk on your leg or use your arm. Follow what your provider says you can and cannot do. If you do too much before the infection is gone, your bones can break.
If you have diabetes, it is very important to keep your blood sugar under control.
Call your health care provider if:

It's been over 2 years in the making, the Washington Bypass.
The purpose of the Bypass is simple, to give drivers a faster and safer way to get through Beaufort County and there's good news when it comes to construction.
Department of Transportation officials say the bypass should be opened to the public by the spring of 2010. The actual projected completion date is November of 2010, so things are running ahead of schedule.
The bridge is innovative because it's being built very Eco friendly. There's no work bridge for crews, they put the pilings in by using heavy machinery from the top and then work from there.
When the bridge is completed it will be one of the longest in the state at 3 miles. It's also one of the most expensive with a price tag of 192 million dollars.
D.O.T. Engineers credit great weather and a hardworking crew of about 150 people contracted through Flatiron and United Contractors to getting things built so quickly. This project makes up an even greater picture. There are currently 15 to 20 miles of Highway 17 that are still 2 lane roads and engineers say the overall goal is make Highway 17 four lanes from South Carolina to Virginia.

The scene: Amsterdam, 1989. A grandmaster-in-waiting cuts his teeth against some of Europe's best players. Our protagonist? GM Ben Finegold, who was just a wee lad back then. He begins his series on his youthful encounters by showing his universal style and "proclivity for rook lifts." Finegold also explains co-linear moves, which are among the hardest to find. Join Finegold on his most excellent adventure! | Watch video
Going for opposite colored bishops out of the opening? Why not? GM Bojkov concludes his series by showing that many openings have this as a possibility, and if you know what you're doing, you can still fight for the win. He goes in depth with a fine win by Spasov, who shows elements of Spassky and Karpov - maybe that's how he got his name!? | Watch video
The group of players in the 2-5 positions in the world rankings keeps shuffling, flipping and turning over. What's been consistent is the man at the top - GM Magnus Carlsen. Today FM Kavutskiy shows how he handles Queen's Gambit positions against the current number three and number four. It seems no matter who Carlsen faces, he does his same slow buildup, and maximizes his piece activity before breaking through. It's not Tal, but no one can doubt it's effective. | Watch video
WGM Abrahamyan continues to divulge all of her French secrets! Today she expands upon her great series by showing the "annoying" Tarrasch - 3. Nd2. She focuses on the 3...Be7 system, where White has a few satisfactory replies including clarifying the center right away with 4. e5. Many pawn structures are possible, and Abrahamyan shows how the hanging pawns can give Black an edge. | Watch video
So you want to play the Grünfeld huh? Well GM Dzindzichashvili says, "Get read to work," because White has all the choices. Today he wraps up his in-depth four-part series by showing one of his games. He also covers all the other sidelines of the opening, giving White even more choices to face one of Black's most popular defenses to 1. d4. | Watch video
GM Gata Kamsky is sometimes known as a solid player, but lately he's been playing some inspired chess. At the World Cup, he played one of his most electric games, relentlessly attacking Black's king. How brutal? 17 threats in a row. 16 were defended, but the last could only be met by resignation. Hold on while Kamsky puts the accelerator to the floor. It is going to be a wild ride. | Watch video
Fans of GM Khachiyan's series should know, when he needs a win as Black against a lower-rated player, get ready for a Philidor. Using his patented weapon, the veteran takes all the excitement off the junior's face by outcalculating him in a counter-attacking sequence. Khachiyan then masterfully conducts the ending, never allowing his opponent to gain any activity or acquire any hidden resources. So listen to the wise middle-aged GM and you'll never lose to a talented youngster again (hopefully)! | Watch video
The king is not dead, long live the king! Today we get to see the king act like a kickoff return man in football as he outruns the entire enemy army en route to safety. Often, when you're able to march him up the board, he becomes the necessary extra piece to break through your opponent's defenses. It's extra pleasing to see the old guy act nimble. Who says generals have to control their army from behind? Not Short, Petrosian or Larsen! | Watch video
The most decorated player in U.S. Chess League history added to his trophy case with another Game of the Week win. GM Julio Becerra transitions from a slightly worse middlegame to a full frontal assault on the White king. He nearly gets mated himself, but the grandmaster has it all worked out. White's dark squares were just too weak to stop the Miami Sharks from moving to 3-0 on the young season! | Watch video
After a seemingly innocent pawn-grab by GM Mikhalevski's opponent, White suffers for the the rest of the game. His undeveloped pieces continue to struggle against the pressure, and although he survived until the endgame, our video author shows some nifty technique to get the full point without any stress. The message: Don't be afraid to invest a small amount of material to ruin your opponent's chance to effectively marshal his forces. | Watch video

Disability Awareness Month is about expectation, opportunity
October 21, 2009
By Irene Hopkins, Fort Eustis EEO Specialist
FORT EUSTIS, Va. (October 21, 2009) -- In October we observe National Disability Employment Awareness Month by celebrating and paying tribute to the accomplishments of individuals with disabilities as they help to keep the nation strong. The theme for this year's observance is "Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation." In President Barack Obama's proclamation Sept. 30 he calls upon us to "celebrate the contributions of individuals with disabilities in our workplaces and communities and to promote the employment of individuals with disabilities to create a better, more inclusive America, one in which every person is rightly recognized for his or her abilities and accomplishments."
Why celebrate Disability Awareness'
Aca,!Ac To learn about an important group that is struggling for full inclusion in U.S. society.
Aca,!Ac To understand why laws were created to protect people with disabilities, and how they work.
Aca,!Ac To appreciate the great and small contributions people with disabilities make to our society.
Aca,!Ac To help improve attitudes and eliminate stereotypes that hold back people with disabilities.
Aca,!Ac To learn to separate people from their disabilities, so accomplishments are recognized without an inappropriate focus on disability.
Aca,!Ac To recognize that we are all just a heartbeat away from becoming disabled through illness or accidents.
Did you know'
Almost everyone will develop physical or other disabilities at some point. We are all "temporarily abled." Many disabilities, including learning disabilities, diabetes, and psychological disabilities, are invisible. Depending on how disability is defined, between 15 and 20 percent of U.S. citizens have some limitation due to a disability.
What can you do'
Aca,!Ac Learn about different disabilities and how they affect people differently: read, ask questions, and respect differences.
Aca,!Ac Support the efforts of people with disabilities to lead full lives, work at rewarding jobs, and participate in all aspects of life.
Aca,!Ac Correct and challenge stereotypes and slurs in media, advertising and everyday conversation.
Aca,!Ac Volunteer in your local school system or college classes as a note taker, tutor or reader for a student with a disability.

I have already posted this in the SS forum on MTBR and in the SS/Fixed forum here, but my search may be well served asking you folks as well. So please excuse if you have already seen this thread or even helped out.
I am in the market for a new frame and fork to empty my parts bin onto. I will need a frame that can be easily single speeded and fixed, which means track ends, horizontal drops, ebb, sliders, or rockers. I want rim brakes and a 68mm BB. This leads me to more cross-ish frames. I am on the tall side so 60-62cm frames. I want minimum of 40mm tire clearance.
I had a Cross Check which fits all of those requirements but I wished for a taller headtube. I want to be able to get drop bars way up there.
Here's the kicker, I need it to be ~600$ or less and available through my LBS.
I've done my research thoroughly and believe that I have a good handle on the available frames that fit the bill, but I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.
Thanks in advance.
Thus far it seems that the best bets are the following:
-Another Cross Check and run a bunch of spacers
-Fisticuff with a bunch of spacers
-All-City Space Horse
-Pake C'mute
-New Albion Privateer
-The upcoming Velo-Orange Carmague which is expected to be out soonish and depending on price
All of these have horizontal dropouts, come in a 60-62cm frame, have 68mm bottom brackets, canti posts, and clearance for at least 40mm tires.
There are subtle differences in geo for all of these but they are all in the same region of bikedom. I am right now leaning toward the All-City or the New Albion. The bike will see 98% road/city riding in the form of my commute with a touch of single track or dirt roads for fun, and hopefully a bunch of over-nighters. The All City has that ED coating which could be unnecessary, but is pretty cool for a bike that will see lots of weather of all sorts in Boston.
Any others I should add to the list?

- better than I expected Review by John Niesner

Excellent product Great job, built like a tank.Some greese serts had paint b ut not a problem

- Worth the money. Review by Joe E. Layman
Value Quality Price
Altho the paint job isn't 1 class, the peice is mostly yellow. Maybe a bit of preping the metal might have helped, and some undercoating.
My son (40) hooked it behind the Mahindra, and it did a fine job. We limed with pellets a day later, let it get a shower of rain, then 2 days later a final tilling and it's the best looking garden I've had since childhood.
Good machine, well woth the money.

it, is well bluit but it took 3 passes to get down 6 inchs on new ground , I wish I had brought a two bottom plow instead so i could go deeper . I already have a set of harrows , to go with a plow .

- Great machine Review by Roy Schiebel
Price Value Quality
I bought the TG-48-Y to use on my 2010 Kubota BX-25. I had to shorten the drive shaft 5-1/2" to mount to the standard Kubota 3 point hitch system. I used it on sod and it was amazing. I ran the Kubota at 2500 RPMs and never bogged down at full depth. Tiller is exceptionally built and rugged. Heavy duty is the standard for this tiller.

This thing is a work horse, chews though new unplowed ground with no problem. Very satisfied with end result. I do wish you would build a row hipper to attach to back of unit so I can do everything in one pass.

They delivered the product on time and with no hassle. The shipping was half of any other provider and I am in California. I will recommend this company to my friends. Frank

- None Better Review by Gene
Price Value Quality
I used my TG-48 tiller for the first time last week. WOW what a product. Did my garden in a single pass and had a perfect seed bed. This tiller is everything the King Kutter website claims and then some.
I compared it with my friend's John Deere and found no comparison. The King Kutter triumphs.
What is even better, when I went to get mine, Rural King had it on sale.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants perfection!!
(Posted on 4/23/2015)
- OUTSTANDING! Review by Joe
Value Quality Price
I had to shorten the drive shaft prior to using this tiller. The directions are simple to follow and so was the actual process. After the installation I tilled my garden and my neighbors. The soil here is somewhat rocky and a few scattered boulders. This tiller handled the job with ease! VERY STURDY CONSTRUCTION!
(Posted on 4/16/2015)
- Love my new tiller! Review by David Cox
Value Quality Price
My tiller arrived in just a few days after ordering. Only negative was that I had to cut the PTO shaft to work with my John Deere 1025R. Tiller does a great job and wish I had purchased one years ago. Unit is very well built and made in USA.. Glad I went with King Kutter.
(Posted on 4/16/2015)
- EXCELLENT TILLER Review by SCOOTMAN
Price Value Quality
I Purchased this mainly for landscaping as I have a long bank that needs leveled and its way to much to dig by hand, I used this tiller with my front blade and in a matter of hours had the bank leveled. I used to own the subcompact version of this tiller and have to say this one is built much more solid. I will no doubt get a lot of years od service from this tiller.

Nx News & Updates
Product Updates. Events. And More.
A lot of stuff happens at Network Optix. New products, new developer tools, more features. You get the point.
This is where we try our best to keep everyone up-to-date.
Do you know the difference between Advanced PTZ and Standard PTZ control in Nx Witness? Advanced PTZ controls simplify pan, tilt, and zoom actions by allowing the user to fluidly click from object to object, click to zoom, and drag to draw squares on the stream to target and zoom.
Nx Witness v2.5.0 is a major release that brings an entirely new level of enterprise capabilities - including Bookmarks, the new Nx Mobile app, Storage Backup, PTZ Preset-as-an-Action, Alarm Layout, and Live Video Text Overlay.
Nx Witness v2.4.1 is an iterative release focused on providing an HTTP Generic Event API for integrating 3rd party system events, adding granular control to the automatic camera failover feature with Failover Priority, and introduces the all-new Nx Witness Web Client.
Designed to take advantage of Nx Witness's lightweight server hive architecture, Nx Plug & Play Servers come pre-installed with Nx Witness.
Introduced in Nx Witness v2.3 Video Wall is a powerful, easy-to-use video wall and remote monitor control feature built-in to the Nx Witness client.
In the video below Tony Luce from the Network Optix team explains how to create, configure and use the video wall feature.
Network Optix is excited to announce Nx Witness v2.3 - the latest version of Nx Witness that redefines what it means to combine simplicity of use with advanced features.

The much awaited second generation of our acclaimed HD Witness Enterprise IPVMS has now been released. This release is a major leap forward for our platform with a ton of new features and capabilities.
Network Optix has released a new Bandwidth & Storage Calculator to help users to determine estimated storage and bandwidth usage for their systems prior to deployment.
Exactly one year from the date HD Witness was first launched, Network Optix is proud to present HD Witness v1.5. Our latest in a series of product breakthroughs and advancements in surveillance video management.
HD Witness v1.4 delivers more power, more features and a wider range of hardware integration that now includes Digital Watchdog's new Blackjack NVR IP solution, the entire line of Arecont Vision cameras and all the D-Link cameras capable of dual-streaming.

Network Optix is happy to announce the release of HD Witness V1.2. Completed less than two months after our previous release, V1.2 is a major achievement in advancing our enterprise video platform.
The Network Optix team is proud to announce the completion of HD Witness® v1.1. It took a few extra days but the results are well worth it. This release is jam-packed with cool new stuff including our much awaited Ubuntu Linux Media Server edition.
The recent ISC West show was a tremendous success for Network Optix. The product launch went off without a hitch and HD Witness® made a significant impact on the industry.
What so many have long been awaiting is now here - HD Witness V1.0 is has arrived. It is completing final testing as we speak and is everything we ever dreamed it could be and so much more.
Network Optix is pleased to announce its participation at the upcoming 2012 ASG Security Summit & Expo on March 6 in Seattle, WA, where the company will showcase its cutting-edge technology and product offering for the surveillance market.
Network Optix is now a proud member of SIA (Security Industry Association). Our plan is to actively engage in SIA's industry trade and speaking events as well as establish strong relationships with other members worldwide
Devin Coldeway of TechCrunch.com has been following our progress and wrote a great article about us today on TechCrunch. I love how he states that our technology was, "...a little too practical for presentation".
The rapid growth of some recent companies has shown that use of Platform as a Service (PaaS) can allow even the smallest company to fully utilize the advantages of cloud computing. In PaaS offerings everything from the hardware to the software and the management tools are available to the developer in a complete package.

Social Security's Star Trek Posters: Why?
I was in a congressman's office waiting for an interview the other day when a staffer walked in.
"Free food upstairs," he said. "Financial literacy day."
I popped in and found a buffet of pulled-pork sandwiches and a bunch of federal agencies giving away free swag.
At the Social Security table, they had posters with George Takei, from Star Trek, and Patty Duke, from some show before my time.
The posters are part of a Social Security ad campaign — which seems odd on its face, given that Social Security is a mandatory program.
A woman at the Social Security booth told me the government wants to encourage Baby Boomers to do all their paperwork online, which saves the government money. Hence the ad campaign starring two Boomer icons.
Other swag on offer:
The Federal Reserve had coloring books and pens that light up a big dollar sign when you write.
The IRS kept a somber, black-draped table and offered cheap pens. No one stopped by.
The FDIC had little magnets pushing their podcasts. Who knew Planet Money was competing with the FDIC?

What a wonderful find! This first part of this unique book describes the life of Martha Washington and illustrates the furniture and household items, as well as clothing, of her time. The second part of the book contains a paper doll and 11 dresses of Martha's era. The story and costumes in this book were by Aline Bernstein and the publisher is Howell, Soskin. The book has a copyright date of 1945.
This book is in good vintage condition with the following flaws: the bottom 3/4" of the spiral is missing; a child wrote in ink on the teapot illustrating the inside of the front cover; there is some damage to the bottom corner of one of the dress pages (minor); there are some small creases on the top edge of the front cover and some scratching to the back cover. The pages are clean and bright with only a slight amount of toning from age. Sounds like a lot of flaws--but they are all minor and only mentioned for full disclosure. This wonderful paper doll book will be a unique and attractive addition to any collection.
I will be happy to combine purchases to save on shipping costs. International orders are always welcome.
Will be listing fresh merchandise daily. Cameos, vintage costume jewelry, photographic items & more.
Please browse our fabulous costume jewelry, collectibles, postcards, books and much more.

[Changing Of The Guards] by H0LL0W25Watch
This is one of my favorite photos. I love the angles. The shape of her hair, the contours of her muscles, the camera pov/perspective. I would love to see more of her
WOW, she is on fire!!! Beautiful image but I would love to have a woman like that in my life!!!
luv her hair!
this is SO amazing! I love everything about her and the photo. i love how you captured her best features and created this sort of intimate sensual private yet very voyeuristic and exposed moment. i love her stomach and how the viewer goes down from her bad ass haircut, her sexy ears and neck, her gorgeous body (what an amazing stomach!) and finally her hand pointing you to Nirvana! AAAAGH! I love this photo! I love your model! I love your vision! I love it!!!!
Love the tattoos but her body look even better.
Wow! She is awesome.
Awesome ink!
