Call for digital ad guidance
9 September 2013
NEW DELHI: Leading marketers in India have welcomed moves by the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) to include guidance about digital advertising within its remit and have suggested options for it to consider.
As reported in
Campaign India
, three online ads and one broadcast on YouTube were included in the 144 complaints that the ASCI upheld in June 2013 and therefore marketers believe it is time for online ad guidance to be clarified.
Arvind Sharma, ASCI chairman and also CEO of Leo Burnett India, said it was early days but that the ASCI aimed to report substantive progress over the next few months, especially as Rajan Anandan from Google is advising its board.
He said that the distinction between content and advertising can be far less clear than for traditional formats. For example, "if a Facebook user reposts an ad on his page, is it content or advertising?" he asked.
Ravi Rao, the South Asia head of Mindshare, agreed that guidance is needed to avert the risk of false claims going unchecked and recommended that India adopt the code of conduct employed by the Interactive Advertising Bureau, which mostly covers Europe and the US.
"ASCI should constitute a similar mechanism with a separate committee of digital and communications experts to drive a set of code of ethics and monitor it regularly, before a hue and cry occurs in public or government and media space," he said.
Adoption of a stringent regulatory framework, as used in Europe, was also recommended by Madan Sanglikar, co-founder and MD of ad2c.
He thought this was necessary because self-regulation would not work in India as its digital advertising industry is still not "mature enough", even though it has been in existence for over a decade.
He said: "We could look at taking these international guidelines and opening up a public debate to create a framework which is suitable for the Indian market."
The issue is becoming increasingly pressing as online advertising in India continues to expand at a rapid rate. Warc has calculated that internet adspend grew 68.2% to 15.6bn rupees in 2012.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

All established items to setup 1g Seem workable?
Hey everyone, I just set up my 1g mini triangle tank, after some asking around it seemed like it should work how I set it up.
I have 2 slightly less than golf ball sized chunks of lava rock that have been in my established tank for about a week, some java fern and a small chunk of a moss ball from my established tank, and sand that I had in a cup in my established tank for a few days.
I took a gallon of water right out of the established tank to use(since the shrimp has been living happily in that water for awhile, rather than re-acclimating him to new water)
Tha tank now has the sand substrate, the 2 lava rocks, about a half dozen leaves of java fern, the little golf ball sized moss bal, about 5 malaysian trumpet snails, and my little roughly 1" amano shrimp Bruce.
I have a desk lamp behind the tank for light during the day(a normal 40w bulb now, but grabbing a flourescent tomorrow for it) and I made a kind of cool blue LED "moonlight" setup for night, from what I read and asked and such it seems like this should all work just fine, I just wanted to get everyone final thoughts.
I will grab a sponge filter if it seems that important to have with one little shrimp, but I would prefer not having to, same goes for an airstone if need be.
Just finished setting it up a little bit ago and took a few pictures, so I'd love any feedback good or bad!
Thanks as always!
Well, he terrified me this morning, I woke up and turned on the lights, and I just see him sitting there lifeless, looking like he's just barely stuck to a lava rock, I move the tank a little and he just kind of sways and does nothing at all, just when I'm about to get extra depressed, I see him eating on the other side of the tank.
First time my shrimp have molted lol, caught me off gaurd.
He seems to be doing well after almost a day though, acting just like he did in the established tank.

Photo courtesy of Taco TimeLook at those tots grow! At Taco Time's first Schoolyard Garden in Bellevue.Quick word association game: When we say Taco Time, you think... Mexi-Fries!
Well, as much as we LOVE those crispy tots, Taco Time has also been going in a whole lean direction over the past year, first introducing a bunch of low-fat "Fit Hits" menu items and now, digging in the dirt with some tots, with the intention of spreading the good word about where food comes from. Yup, just like the legendary Alice Waters and her Edible Schoolyard project.
This inaugural Schoolyard Garden effort in our region has Taco Time partnering with Newport Heights Elementary in Bellevue, providing students with seeds and soil and an expert to show them how to make their veggies grow.
The kiddos are keeping journals and also learning about nutrition from Taco Time Health Coach Deborah Enos. (Wait! What the what? Taco Time has a health coach? She better not 86 those fab fries!)
This schoolyard garden is a pilot program, which the company hopes to grow in the future. Can we get an awww-men on that prospect?
Think we'll go celebrate this earthy development with a fried bean burrito and a large side order of... well, you know what!

I live in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, but I can't find the Chai tea they carry at the Costco in Bellingham, Washington. Therefore, every 2 weeks, I make the drive south (about 70 miles round trip) to pickup my beloved Chai tea...oh, and to get gas too. You may think this is a bit silly, but I place a high priority on my tea, and it's what I'm willing to do to get it.
With that being said, how far would you travel to obtain an item you really wanted?

Well, I would probably drive 12 miles to Star Bucks for my favorite coffee drink. To be honest, I wouldn't travel a great distance for many things. Now, if I won the Ohio lottery, I'll drive to Columbus (about 100 miles north) for my money.

Man approaches council about a different kind of businessPublished 11:00pm Tuesday, April 9, 2013
A new business has applied for a lounge retail liquor license in Troy.
Richard Jones, of Aposha, LLC, appeared before Troy City Council on Tuesday night to talk about a different kind of business he has planned for the downtown area.
Jones wants to open a cafe and hookah lounge at 203 Love St. Hookah lounges are businesses where people can use a provided water pipe to smoke flavored tobacco.
"That's a business that's growing in the United States," Jones told the council, noting that by day, his plans for the establishment would be a low key area with coffee and WiFi available. At night, the business would have more of a bar atmosphere.
"It would be a place for college students and young professionals to go," Jones said.
The council tabled approval of the liquor license until the next meeting so members could take more time to consider the business. Some members expressed concerns about the business, including a patio area planned for patrons to take beverages outside.
Also at the meeting, the council voted to enter into a two-year agreement already in practice with the Troy Housing Authority to provide supplemental security to the area in exchange for compensation; to provide a portion of $20,237 to be split between Troy, the City of Brundidge and Pike County for two new vans with wheelchair lifts for the Pike Area Transit System; to rezone 416 acres of land belonging to Carolina Girls, LLC on Enzor Road to reserved residential; and to appoint Councilman Greg Meeks to be the delegate at an upcoming League of Municipalities meeting with Dejerilyn King Henderson and Marcus Paramore serving as alternates.
Troy Mayor Jason A. Reeves asked the council for, and was given, permission to work with the state on a plan to renovate the dam at the Pike County Lake and restock the area. The lake will be closed almost immediately and will remain closed for about two years.
Reeves also reminded Troy residents that there is a jazz concert at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Troy on April 16, Kindergarten Day is April 18, Clean and Green Week is April 15-22 and TroyFest is set for April 27 and 28.
The next scheduled Troy City Council meeting is April 23.

The modern church suffers from a serious identity crisis. Many Christians don t know who they really are in Christ. Churches languish in the land of lack, listless, powerless and with little influence in the world. This is about to change! God is birthing a new thing in the church. He is calling all believers to embrace the anointing of the Hoy Spirit and walk in His divine power to change the world. The harvest is plentiful and the coming end-time revival needs… (plus)

Makes sense that you replace a guard with a center.Hide replies
Ill bet you if jennings was a center David Stern would say you can't replace a center with a point guard David Stern is a clown ppl here that don't agree with us are probably from a big market team and don't see what we see. This is bull crap!!!
It's the NBA, who cares? Now Jennings has more time to desecrate his body further with hideous tattoos.
Jennings seems to have a little juice about him. He gets a little face time, has a commercial for UA. Seems to have it all but the all star talent, but I give him credit, he has the desire to get better, and he is getting better. Still a young guy, he might be a all star reserve in the future. Right now he's a little above average NBA point guard with some flare, and flashes of all star ability. Nothing wrong with that. He mirrors his team, young, and getting better. As a Bucks fan I'll take it, they're getting better, and more athletic. It's a good start, better than old, and below average.Hide replies
He might never be an All Star because fans are ignorant and they never vote the deserving players to start and the coaches vote for the big names in the game and not deserving players regardless of market! This selection makes David Stern look as stupid as we all know he is!
I think it is hilarious that anyone on this blog who says Lopez deserved to be named to the team instead of Jennings is termed dumb. Brook Lopez: PER 25.23, EWA 8.1. Jennings: 17.76, EWA 5.3. Now, I do not believe these statistics are the be-all, end-all. But they certainly demonstrate that taking Lopez over Jennings is not unreasonable. And, the East already has 2 point guards on the roster in Irving and Holiday, and Lebron, who can play every position on the floor.Hide replies
There was enough Frontcourt players! That's why it's a travesty! If a Center got hurt, this selection would be fine! But a PG was hurt and should have been replaced by one! Comparing Lopez to Jennings is like comparing Apples to oranges! You post is pointless!
Brandon must exhibit consistent greatness...he is real close to getting there. Follow Monta's example. It's very possible, before the end of this season, Brandon will be a superstar in the playoffs for the Milwaukee Bucks. Playoff Superstar trumps NBA All-Star.
I'm sorry but David Stern is not only a jerk but he's also an idiot! Did he just replace and injured point guard with a Center? Milwaukee deserved an All Star this season and to snub Jennings again after the Starting PG gets hurt is ignorant! Irving and Holiday were far less deserving than Brandon to begin with and they had a chance to make it right and in true David Stern fashion, he blows it just like always! This is why the NBA is by far the worst Professional league in all sports! Is anyone surprised that a large market player was chosen at a position that already had it's fill of AS spots! How can you justify adding a Center to the team when a PG got injured? You can't, and that's why he's an idiot!! GO BUCKS!!Hide replies
1) On what are you basing your selection of Jennings? what criteria?
2) Who cares if the All Star game has enough point guards, really?
3) Does that make Stern an idiot, or the same power hungry meddler he has always been? Didn't he just do this for his own reasons?
I think it comes down to the fact that MKE is not a team that jumps out at people when it comes to "All-Star talent"
Quite frankly, he deserve to go before Rondo got injured but how many people pay attention to the Bucks? Few.
I did go see them play at the BMO Center against GSW and they looked good.
DAVID STERNS NEED TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND DIE ALREADY IM SICK OF HIM AND HES CHEATING AS REF THEY ARE DICTATING the out come of GAMES IN THE NBA JUST SEEN THE BUCKS BULLS GAMES YESTERDAY THE REF GAVE THE BULLS ALL THE BIG CALLS EVEN AT THE LAST MOMENT WHEN the ref CALL JENNINGS FOR A FAKE OFFENSIVE FOUL AND HE MAKES IT SEEM LIKE JENNINGS DON'T HAVE REASON TO BE MAD.All of the small market team have similir records just so David Stern makes more money before he retires.SORRY BUT WE NEED A NEW COMMISSIONER IN THE NBA ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A FAVORITE TEAM OR CITY EVERYONE NOES THAT ALL THE BIG MARKET TEAMS GET ALL THE CALLS TO GO THERE WAY JUST LOOK AT THE STANDING ALL THE BIG MARKET TEAMS ARE IN THE TOP OF THE LIST... ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE look at the raptors couch he was on espn sayin the truth the ref are cheating that he doesn't care if he gets fine mark cuban got fine for sayin the ref are dictating games rondo got suspended before he got hurt for pushing a ref.its not a coincidence there all really respected players and owners and couches...I swear to you that if josh smith brandon jenning or monta ellice where in the lakers or clippersor any oder big market team right now they would be in the all star right now....its time to blow it up its all thrue we need a new ccommissioner don't understand why the all stars always in the same cities last time I check there where over 30 teams.

Turners Auctions [NZX: TUA], which transacts about 10 percent of the New Zealand used vehicle market, beat its annual profit forecast after widening its scope beyond auction sales, and lifting sales of insurance and finance. The shares surged to the highest in more than eight years.
Net profit rose 14 percent to $4.8 million in calendar 2013, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. That's an improvement from the company's estimate in November for profit to rise about 10 percent. Revenue increased 14 percent to $89.2 million.
Turners new chief executive Todd Hunter, appointed in August, aims to grow the company's market share by trading vehicles through a wider range of outlets, and increasing its finance and insurance offerings. In 2013, revenue from the company's higher-margin fleet division, where vehicles are acquired and on-sold by Turners, surged 30 percent to $46.9 million. Revenue from auctions, where Turners sells on behalf of a customer, fell 1 percent to $36.3 million.
"Our goal is to grow our market share by creating more opportunities to source and sell vehicles," chairman Michael Dossor said.
Shares in Turners jumped 10 percent to $2.59, their highest level since October 2005. The stock was listed in 2002, following an initial public offering at $1.50 apiece.
Turners Auctions, which traces its history back to 1943 when Turners and Growers began auctioning cars and trucks alongside its traditional fruit and produce lines, is sourcing more product through its CashNow service, where it buys vehicles up-front from customers at an agreed price, and is also widening its retail outlets by using auction website Trade Me and its own revamped Turners website. A bigger role in sales allows Turners more opportunity to sell consumer finance and insurance, it said.
"Although we only have only recently started to implement our new multi-channel business model, early indications of its success are encouraging and the potential for growth is considerable," Dossor said.
Finance revenue rose 10 percent to $6 million as more customers bought vehicles using consumer finance provided through Turners' BuyNow service, boosting the company's loan book by 20 percent to $25.6 million.
The company will pay a 9 cent a share final dividend on April 9, up from 8 cents in the year earlier period.

The Broken Bottle is a melee weapon featured in the free Beach Bum DLC for GTA V and GTA Online.
The broken bottle is quite effective at delivering the appropriate message in up close and personal encounters. In GTA Online, the weapon can be bought at Ammu-Nation for free whilst it will be automatically added to the player's inventory in single player.
- It appears to be a reskin of the standard knife.
- Judging by its green color, it could be a Sprunk bottle.

Man arrested in Vt. over stolen soccer moneyThe Associated Press | March 22,2013Vermont State Police have arrested a man wanted in Pennsylvania on suspicion of stealing over $20,000 from a youth soccer team.

Re: Radical Rosie
Hunter, the "radical Christian" trope is a tired staple of the left, as you know. Some years back, Andrew Sullivan put it forth most tiringly, and I wrote a column, called "The Politics of Horniness," for Enter Stage Right, here.
I concluded:
What does Andrew Sullivan really mean? If Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are no better than Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden, what should we do? Send Green Berets to root out The 700 Club? Or does Sullivan mean that Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden are no worse than Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson? If so, we could simply exile them from the A list of the Eastern seaboard. Maybe let them host a late-night down-market cable television show.

Carrier/wrap which brand kind is the best? I need one ASAP :)
I have Baby bjorn also and I love it!! Without it I wouldn't be able to get anything done. My LO loves it too. He falls asleep and could sleep for hours in it.
I have a Gypsy Mama Bali Breeze. I love it because it's a wrap that can be used in a few different ways, it breathes well, and came with a pamplet and dvd to help me figure out how to put it on. What I don't like about it is actually having to wrap it, but that's a small downside compared to the versatility. I also didn't like the cost (about $70).

I think there really is no 'best'. It really depends on what you're looking for in a carrier. They each have their own pros and cons. I would suggest going to the babywearing board. I have a Moby but find it a little hot also and can't imagine walk around street fests with baby in it in 80 degree weather. My SO has the Ergo and we use that as well.

"Enjoy this Beautiful Book!!"
Hosseini is an author that I stumbled upon in a search for something different to read. I am so glad that I did! The author reads the book, and I was a little concerned that the names in another culture might be confusing in an audible format. I occasionally got a little lost, but I later "reread" the sections--something that I rarely do. I have to say that Hosseini's narration really enhanced the listening experience. He writes in a unique voice and his descriptions are expressed in a way that crosses all cultural boundaries. This book is one to be savored.
"Wonderful book; what's up with the narration?!?"
This is an absolutely wonderful book! Everyone should read it. But what's up with the current trend (also manifested in the Audible performance of The Orphan Master's Son) of narrators with heavy and difficult to understand but unidentifiable accents?!? It makes it really difficult, and what is the point?
"Prefer to read this book rather then listen"
It is an excellent book. I found when reading it for myself I was engrossed. When trying to listen I was unable to stay focused due to the accent of the narration. I know the author is an outstanding author I am a fan of his stories I just wasn't pleased with his narration.
Again this book is a must read. It's excellent. My problem was with the narrator not the story
"Loved his other books, not this one."
Hosseini's other two books are two of my favorites, so I was excited to get this book and downloaded it almost the day it came out. I should have listened to the excerpt before downloading though, because the narration is AWFUL! Basically, the narration is so bad, I was unable to finish this book.
The few times that Hosseini steps in to narrate are the few bright spots. The other two narrators (a man and a woman) are terrible. It's not only because their heavy accents are such that I could not understand a lot of what they were saying. They are very monotonous as well.
If Hosseini had narrated the whole thing, I probably would have at least finished the book. I gave up about 4/5ths in. Perhaps there was a redeeming twist coming at the end that would have brought everything together, but I just couldn't put up with the narrators anymore.
At the risk of a slight spoiler, I will tell you that this story spans several generations, so the characters you are introduced to at the start of the book will grow old and die before the end. And there did not seem to be any overall point to the story. It's like a long drawn-out snapshot of the lives of some Afghans. It describes in great detail the ups and downs of various people's lives, generally all related to each other, and that's about it.
If there was a grand resolution to the story at the end that I missed, I apologize, but again, the narration was so bad, I could not hold on.
I am brutally honest. Popular, love everything they read, reviewers are scared to go neg. and risk their ranking. It's your money!!!
Chapter one is a fable and it is good.
Chapter two is not good and read by a guy who sounds like he has a swollen tongue.
Chapter three is fairly interesting about twin sisters, one is beautiful and one is ugly. Hosseini often has people in his stores who are not pretty. In other words, real people. This is read by a heavy accented woman, but her tongue is not swollen.
Chapter four is a very long boring story. (couple of hours long) The only thing interesting about it is that it is a different culture and the gay issue. If this had been written about the same guy in the United States it would have not been worth publishing. I like my neighbors, but their lives are not worth reading about anymore then my life is.
Chapter five is read by Mush Mouth and I called it quits.
I loved The Kite Runner and A thousand Splendid Suns. This is written well like they are, but the story is not interesting.
Why the producers of audio books have not figured out how important the narrator is to the story I have not figured out. A lot of sales well be lost, because the producers could not figure out the effect of Mush Mouth.
"A Failed Experiment"
I read this because I really enjoyed The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, also by Mr. Hosseini.
One of the things I most enjoy about his books is stepping into Afghani culture, through the description of surroundings, ways of life, language, or characters' mindsets. That was certainly true here. He is a master at "the big twist" -- a shift in the story towards the end of the book that I wasn't expecting, and found to be quite moving. He is also great at doing "little twists", which keep you guessing about how well you know each character and his or her relationship to the other characters, and make the story very entertaining.
I struggled with the structure of this book. The narrative jumps among several characters, places, and points in time with abandon. I typically do not mind a non-linear narrative, but in this case I found it hard to follow, especially because the revolving narrators did not tie directly to characters.
When I listened to The Kite Runner (narrated by Mr. Hosseini), I was rapt by his pronunciation of the Farsi words, names of people and places in Afghanistan, etc.; it certainly added a level of enjoyment to my experience that is part of why I love audiobooks in the first place. In And the Mountains Echoed, however, so much concentration was at times required to follow the accented English of Mr. Negahban and Ms. Aghdashloo that the effect was lost.
The decision to layer multiple narrators on top of multiple narratives strikes me as a failed experiment. I would have enjoyed this more if Hosseini had narrated the whole thing himself.
I have always loved to read, and now I really enjoy listening to my books as well!!
"What a Beautiful Book!!"
I hate to bring up anything negative on such a wonderful novel, but it was a minor detraction for me (and I wanted to explain my less-than-five-star rating for the Story). It seemed, as the novel was moving along, to be several individual stories—sometimes tied to the initial characters by the thinnest of threads. In the end, however, it did mesh together better than I thought it would.
Despite the above, I really did love this book—it is a beautifully written novel without some of the very hard subjects that were found in Khaled Hosseini's previous books. And I cried—a sure sign that I was totally engrossed and loving it! I would not hesitate to read anything he chooses to write.
The narration in this book was an adjustment for me—fairly strong accents on two of the three narrators (Mr. Hosseini narrates a few sections, but he is very easy to understand). But shortly into the novel, I no longer considered it awkward, and I felt it added to the realism of the story as it unfolded.
I hope to meet this author at the National Book Festival this year—I thoroughly enjoyed all three of his books, and would love to tell him so!!
"Generational Reverberations"
"A mountain keeps an echo deep inside. That's how I hold your voice." Rumi
You prepare your heart when reading Hosseini; you know you will feel the tug of those heart strings that bind us to humanity. He writes about universal themes - family, love, loss, betrayal, courage - with a sincerity that doesn't pander for emotions (his foundation and humanitarian work with the people of Afghanistan, from where he draws his characters, speaks to this sincerity and dedication) yet takes aim at our core. With the voice of a poet, Hosseini captivates his readers with characters facing challenges that test human limitations. Of course, it adds to the complex atmosphere and mystique of his story that he writes about a historically and mythologically rich country that is unfamiliar to most of us. It's clear from the very beginning of this new book -- when a father tucks his children into their beds around a desert campfire and conjures up a allegorical fable of a monster that steals children away in the night (a Jungian's delight, and magical beginning) -- that the author has written a beautiful story that will have us, once again, feeling that familiar tug. And the Mountains Echoed spares very few readers the pang of empathy, but unlike its predecessors, the approach is light handed and the violence is minimal.
I purposely am avoiding outlining the plot. This is one of the first times that I have read a review prior to listening to the book, that truly was a spoiler--going into this novel with so much information almost ruined the journey for me. The beginning fable does foreshadow the events to come, but I would like to have gotten to that destination with my own interpretations of the view along the way -- it's just that kind of story. Spanning several generations, the story tells how the choices made early in the genealogy dictated the course of latter family members. It's not the events themselves that construct the human drama over the years, but how the events are acted upon by the characters. Hosseini's characters come from a history of tumult; they internalize their emotions, because of personal reasons, political tensions, cultural upbringing--their harsh world doesn't allow the luxury of licking their wounds, processing or resolution. The resulting legacy they build is one of pain, regret, sorrow, and secrecy.
The beginning is powerful with the imagery and the foreshadowing. You'll read that some critics thought the middle section suffered from the addition of new characters, and I have to agree. Though good material, it just wasn't in the same rich vein as the wonderfully dimensioned beginning chapters, and only detracted from the emotional heart of the saga, slowing down a story that never seemed to regain the same momentum-- it just rolls to a good place to wrap up. My favorite -- the narration! (I can't wait to see the reviews on this subject!) From the rich, sexy foreign voice of Hosseini to the sultry smoky voice of Shohreh Aghdashloo...there were simply times I couldn't understand what the h3LL they were saying, but could've cared less because they sounded so great saying whatever it was! I adored the narration, with all the limitations of my white-bread ears. Their voices added great texture and authenticity--I can't imagine the story presented any other way, but doubt that will be the consensus.
Fans of Hosseini will feel rewarded for the wait. There was something about Kite Runner -- the innocence, the look into the social landscape and family structure -- that I liked better; but, the moments of beauty singular to this book: the children listening to the fable, the sound of a tinkling bell, the devoted Chauffer's and his letter, the scrappy eared dog...still give me that little stab in the heart and keep me in an emotional orbit.
"Narration is slurred"
I am not finished the book yet. I am having a very hard time understanding the narrator of chapters 2 and 5 thus far. The stories are very interesting and I love the way they all link together. But it is difficult to follow so far. I will continue to listen because I love the stories. I just hope I can get through it.
I do not like the narration of chapters 2 and 5 so far. The speech is slurred and the accent is very heavy. The other narrators are perfect. However, it is very difficult to follow being that all the stories are linked and some of them are difficult to understand.

"Hits the SPOT IN EVERY WAY!"
This was a book that was done right.... this is an audiobook that was done right! This is undoubtedly the best audiobook and probably the best book I have gone through all year and without question will rank amongst one of the best books I have read/listened to in a long time! The storyline was simply honest, the wording itself seemed flawless, the pacing perfect and the narration was downright immaculate.
Clearly you can see from my review thus far that I am raving about this book and when I do people tend to ask me "Why? Why is this book so great to you?" When I answer this question I can't say anything like "There is an amazing twist" or "The action is awesome"... All I can say is that you should try thinking about the perfect day, sun shining, it not being too hot, a nice gentle breeze and you taking a long ride to the country with your favorite song playing and with perfect company to boot...
This book isn't so much about the ending because truth be told you could probably have predicted the ending after a few chapters.... But what you DO get to enjoy is the journey. It is honest, sobering, tragic, paced to perfection and beautifully woven. You find yourself enjoying the different storylines that pops up, the interesting quotes that you find along the way, the beautiful sceneries they describe and mostly the stirring emotions that are evoked. Love, lost, sacrifice, hope, truth, hate… life is described in this book.
The narration was superb. I could listen to Shohreh Aghdashloo all day I believe. She truly has a story teller's voice, a voice that in and of itself is seemed innately engrained with a story in and of itself. I've always thought that she would have been a great narrator and she did not disappoint, I truly could listen to her do anything probably. Navid Negahban another impressive narrator which did just an amazing job here as well. Khaled Hosseini the author as well as a narrator here did a surprisingly impressive job. I honestly did not expect him to do so well but he actually 'exceeded my expectations'. I felt like the pacing in this book was so perfectly done you could close your eyes, lay on your back and just visualize the amazing world being dictated to you.
All in all this is one of those books that has gotten a lot of hype and deserved every single one of them. Absolutely and positively done RIGHT!

Along with worrying about the potential complications of the bleeding I am very concerned that I am not getting a cerclage. My doctor was adamant about its importance and now I can't get one because of the bleeding. I've been made to feel that my babies will not make it to 30 weeks without it.
I don't live in the US but in Egypt where NICUs are not at all advanced. My babies need to be born at at least 29 or 30 weeks so they can have a chance.
My dr is not encouraging and had wanted me to reduce which I refused.
I put myself on bed rest for the whole pregnancy in hopes that this might help. Other than that I don't know what to do (hospital bed rest is also not an option here).
I'm constantly expecting to lose my babies and feel that it's impossible for me to last until they are considered viable here.
I'm very depressed and anxious which I know is not good but I honestly can't help it. It's been a rough road to even get pregnant and this is just finishing off what's left of my sanity.
I'm sorry for posting sad posts but I feel very very alone and helpless and need any success stories I can get.
Can I make it 30 weeks without a cerclage or preterm labour? Is it possible? Do you think my voluntary strict bed rest might help?

Swedish firm Denator reported its role in an EU-funded research collaboration that aims to develop a biomarker discovery platform for cancer diagnostics using Denator's heat-stabilization technology and an array of synthetic peptides. The project will be funded by the EU's Eurostars program and includes collaborators at Erasmus Medical Center and Amsterdam Medical Center.
The overall aim of the project is to develop and validate a platform that monitors specific protein/peptide degradation patterns in biological fluids and tissues sections. Such patterns are specific to different tissue types and diseases and could help identify new disease markers, Denator suggests.
"To utilize specific degradation patterns correlating to specific cancer types could provide the research community with an important tool to help advance the understanding of the complexity of cancer and eventual early diagnosis," remarks Theo Luider, M.D., who heads the collaborating team Erasmus Medical Center. "This project holds the potential of immensely facilitating the diagnostic process."
Denator is exploiting its heat stabilization platform for the development of instrumentation and reagents that enable scientists to stabilize biological samples such as tissue sections or cellular biopsies from the moment of sampling. This capability means all the proteins and other biomolecules in a sample are retained in the same state they were in vivo and prevents the natural degradation processes that could otherwise distort analytical results, the firm claims. Last month Denator raised about $3.8 million in an investment round to support product development and commercial expansion.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

There are two basic groups of people when it comes to food adventures: risk takers and the gastronomically timid. People sometimes think you can ride the fence, but it's just simply not true. If you're willing to even take a small risk, you're lumped in with the risk-takers by those around you. If you refuse to bite into something you've never tried before, regardless of the actual ingredients being commonplace or otherworldly, then step to the right and stand with the safe crowd. Both camps have their advantages, and decidedly (and empirically) their disadvantages.
© Siiri Sampson 2011. A Monkfish, a sea urchin, and an eel walk into a bar--stop me if you've heard this one before . . .
The advantages of the epicuriously shy are vast--they avoid having to spit things out in their napkins at dinner parties by merely passing the steaming dish of "what-the-hell-is-that" to their left without so much as a second glance. Their intimacy with food poisoning and countless nights worshiping the porcelain god are little to none, simply because they're smart enough to not ingest something half cooked, gelatinous, or formerly known as an internal organ. And to top it off, they are usually skinnier than their risk-taking counterparts, since, let's face it--foie gras has exponentially more calories and fat than, say, steamed broccoli and dry chicken. Drawbacks? Well, from the other camp's (always opinionated) perspective, they're missing out on some of the world's richest treasures, and there may actually be some things out there they'd like, if only they could step off the ledge and free-fall into a bowl full of fish-head stew.All that said, on the flip side of the coin those renegades of ratatouille, cowboys of caviar, and samurais of sushi have some seriously polarized pros and cons in front of them. After a seven-course prix-fixe journey through the French countryside with a five-glass wine flight, you're confined to your hotel room for a bare minimum of 36 hours, lest you sightsee with an adult diaper on to preclude any mad dashes to the nearest men's room. These folks throw culinary caution to the wind at the drop of a fork, unhinging their jaw for platefuls of duck confit, head cheese, and (god forbid) haggis. To them, these are mere child's play compared to their dream dinner. To see a small example of this, a recent trip was made to Ginza, an intimate neighborhood Japanese restaurant in Old Town Bellevue (103 102nd Ave. S.E.).
The warm welcomes upon entry are enough to disarm even the most steadfast shy eaters. Although the 10(ish)-table hideaway is tucked away on a side street, the locals know and love Ginza for its family-friendly (and family-owned) reputation, quick service, and meticulously prepared sushi and Japanese dishes. The big man on campus at Ginza is Ivan, nephew of the owner, an all-around nice guy and self-proclaimed food risk-taker. From the get-go, he could tell there was an equal-opportunity risk-taker at our table, and swiftly suggested trying the monkfish liver, one of the house's 103 (?!) specialties, handwritten in both English and Japanese on two white boards displayed above the sushi-making side of the kitchen.
Of course the answer was yes, and Ivan was given the freedom to choose which preparation of the monkfish liver ($6.50) our table would receive. In addition, the house had uni (sea urchin), which is wrapped in nori (seaweed) atop rice ($6.25). This was of course a must-do, since every place we'd ever ordered it before had said, "Sorry, we're out." These two risky items at our table were flanked by a hearty and nose-burning Fire Cracker Roll ($8.75) and a personal favorite, unagi (crispy cooked BBQ eel over rice) sushi ($4.75).
While awaiting the cedar plank of edible gold (or terror, depending on which camp you're in), a waitress delivered a fresh salad of pickled cucumbers and bay shrimp with sesame seeds. This was just enough to whet the appetite with both sweet and salty tongue-teasers. All the choices arrived together, and it was only a matter of choosing where to begin--safe or dangerous?
© Siiri Sampson 2011. Oh Fire Cracker Roll, how I love your subtle insides and fiery outsides. Are you a firecracker because of your spices, or the way the flying fish roe bursts in my mouth?
The adventure began by easing into a piece of unagi; familiar, flavorful and easy to swallow. Hands down, it was among the top three unagi we've had in the area. Then it was on to shaking things up with the monkfish liver, again served atop rice, wrapped in nori with (we think) fresh shaved wasabi, scallions, and Sriracha sauce. Each piece had more than enough liver, and was at least a two-bite affair. The texture may have been the most difficult part about this dish: chilled, cubed, and pressed pate-like and a little on the jelly-ish side. The natural flavor was smoky and salty, and you could actually taste the sea in it. Overall a worthy endeavor, but next time we'll opt for a hot preparation to avoid any slippery-sliding action down the hatchet. We ate one of the two pieces.
Following the monkfish was a few palate-cleansing slices of pickled ginger and four pieces of the Fire Cracker Roll: a tempura shrimp roll encrusted with panko and a combination of habanero and jalapeño flying fish roes. Mild flavors on the inside with a spicy, sinus-clearing crust outside. Then it was time to man up and take a taste of the uni (sea urchin). The first fatal mistake here was not asking Ivan what to expect. A lot could have been avoided by inquiring "What is the texture and flavor?" But, like amateur chumps, we just assumed it would be like a firm mousse or pate. Oh, how wrong we were--the cold patty of uni was prepared much in the same way as the monkfish liver, but was much harder to chew and swallow. It was a slippery and custardy pellet with heavy ocean flavors. Every time we tried to bite into it, it seemed to escape to the other side of our mouth. We were nearing the inevitable gag reflex in three, two, one second. Bound and determined to finish what we started, we swallowed the whole thing. This was a one-shot experience. The verdict: Uni is not for everyone, and that's just fine.
Next time we cozy up to a table for two at Ginza, we'll open the other menu, which holds more traditional (yet still adventurous) options from the hot/cooked side of the kitchen, and make sure we have dinner companions willing to go the distance with us.

Residents of Duvall are cut off by flooded roads, uncertain of when they'll be able to get in — or out.
At 8:30 this morning, Garrett Travers was pondering how to reach the Duvall home he shares with his girlfriend, Karen Bee.
Back in November, he had paid $26,000 for a 2008 Chevy Silverado.
To drive or not drive his shiny new SUV across the flooded mile-long stretch of Northeast Woodinville-Duvall Road where it crosses the Snoqualmie River Valley.
The east half of the road was covered with murky water and was rising by the minute. On the north side of the road, where in the summer you can drive by crops of corn, there now was a lake.

Travers, 23, who had just gotten off his night-shift job at Microsoft, where he maintains air-conditioning systems, decided that being careful was the better choice.
"This is the highest road in the valley, and this one never closes when it floods," he said.
But today it was shut down.
Travers text-messaged his girlfriend, asking her if she could find him a nearby motel in which to stay the night.
Bee is a medical assistant at a Seattle hospital, and she had to call in today to say she was stranded.
Among those who needed to get to Duvall was John Frazier, a firefighter medic.
At 8 tonight, he is supposed to be on duty at the Duvall Fire Department.
Frazier remembers how late at night during a flood in November 1990, a couple with a baby decided to drive across this stretch of road.
Their car was surrounded by rising water and the couple — the wife clutching the baby to her chest — left the car and attempted to scramble to safety. Firefighters rescued the mom and child, but the husband drowned.
Even from the distance of the fire station, said Frazier, "we could hear them yelling."
It turned out that Frazier likely will be able to get to his medic job tonight. He got a call on his cellphone.
The Fire Department will send its 24-foot aluminum boat to pick him up, a boat at the ready just for the times such as these.
