Eureka! Rectangular Floor Saver
Heavy-duty polyethylene haaaa. I do not know who is…
Price Paid: $18
Heavy-duty polyethylene haaaa. I do not know who is rating just an ordinary nylon sheet as heavy duty, but it is nowhere near one.
When I first used it under a cedar forest canopy. Fallen needles poked right through when I put gear or sit inside the tent. Luckily, they did not penetrate the tent floor. Needle tip holes are not so much of a big deal. However, I do not count on the thing.
It's light though. When folded, you can slide it anywhere in the pack. It might be good for winter camping just to seperate your tent floor from touching the snow.
Overall, I do not like it.
This is basically a large garbage bag. Do not waste your time on this product. I read the reviews on Basspro and several folks raved about the quality and whatnot, so I bought it. Obviously i did not find this review until it was too late. An absolute POS. I can't believe Eureka would advertise such and inferior product to protect its superior tents. Whoever made this decision for Eureka should be fired. If I could figure out how to return it and get my money back, I would! You have been warned.

you are very ignorant the sun Stone is aztec not mayan idiot
very nicelly done!
how to make a image like this?????
This is cool!
thinking i should fire up 4.5 and give it a try before i forget everything!
LOL you so should
got another Bryce project planned first, then install the last of the purchases and hope it doesn't crash!
Your 3-D renderings truly are a step above most of the rest!
Wow, that is an awesome bodyshape
This is great as always. ^^ That outfit is also so wow, I love it. No real point in saying this but keep up the great work.
Beautifully done, again!!!
It is beautiful, with body ten, it can be compared as the best female athlete of the Maya. Great work my dear Tina. Congratulations my little redhead.
Wow Lady Tina she is hot. I love the clothes she's got on. That's sexy. Keep up the excellent work.
Good body, fine accoutrements, excellent composition. Not that I'm any sort of expert in any of the fields relevant. I likes what I sees an' that's about it
Great lighting and clothing.
Well, if you can't fit them, then she'll just have to go naked Outstanding beauty Love her curves and her shinies, but that burning determined look on her face.... 'Yes you can have me, but will you survive?' Delicious hon!!
LOl I think I like the stories you supply for my renders, even more than my own.
We make a great team
Is that so? Then what should I render up next?
Something sexy-spooky... perhaps in a sci-fi vein... or halloweenish.. or both?
Hmm it is getting to be that time of year. You don't think it'd be.. too predictable?
#DCC has a halloween contest just started ... hint, hint ... either Cute or Grizzly in theme
LOL I'm actually making something kinda cute... I was inspired... by my sweet talking Irish friend below but I'm always so dam leary of contests. LOL I suck at them.
Depends on how you do it. But fair enough... something unpredictable.... crossover of some sort. Take two genres and mix 'em.
Oh Hot!
Cool! Nice reflection on the nip caps. The expression on the face in the middle of the big stone thingy behind her is priceless. It's almost like he photo bombed.
Okay so now I feel I need a few months at the gym...that is one kick but body. I might also add it dressed very well by the clothing and design department. Once again I* marvel at the "come hither eyes..well done! She looks like a force to be reckoned with. Very nicely done Tina
Grins thank you, I'm kinda liking this shape too. Grins and my girls simply need.. that look
Awesome render! Great light!

The Burning of Flashy Trashy
In 1990, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. I chose to maximize my chances for remaining disease free by participating in an experimental protocol. Every day for eight weeks, I got in this cast to be zapped by five different views of radiation, my body like an air force target, permanently marked for radiation by tattoos. I experienced significant memory loss and a short attention span. To help rebuild my memory and attention span, I willed myself to spend an hour a day working on this piece.
No one can experience what I have and remain unchanged. It is very frightening to wake up and to discover a new person in a radically changed body that can never be trusted. Art has given my soul the chance to regenerate and reconnect to the person I have become.
The Flame Within X, XI, XII
I believe there is an internal flame that burns within each of us, kind of like a personal pilot light. There are times throughout our lives when that flame burns brighter or higher or with a special intensity. Throughout my five-and-a-half-year odyssey through the cancer experience, I have felt my own flame dwindle to a few embers only to be rekindled to a roaring fire. It has been through my artistic endeavors to document my experiences that my flame has been revived and nourished. I believe my art has contributed significantly to my recovery from metastatic breast cancer and to keeping me disease free despite overwhelming odds.

Skip to comments.Questioning (Speak softly and carry a big ZOT)
Posted on 05/28/2006 2:57:12 PM PDT by primer4500
This is now the 4th Memorial Day since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Many people and media outlets are looking back at the war. And with that, comes the criticism. Now, I haven't spent much time on FR, but I am suspecting that most FRers are still in support of President Bush's policies. I consider myself a moderate and am critical of many things he has done since taking office. I don't know whether many conservatives feel it is unpatriotic to protest the President, but keep this in mind:
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." -Teddy Roosevelt 5/7/1918
Now, before everyone gets all up in my grill about posting this, I will tell you that I also did not support a lot of what Clinton did. He did lie and he did do a lot of wrong. And the accusations against him are true. And the accusations are unpleasant. And if you can't look at both sides of an issue, then you should be criticized as well.
In before the ZOT!!!
You had to express your point on Memorial Day? To stand by the President is patriotic and every time we did stand by our President we never lost a war.
You haven't read much in FR lately I take it or you would have found a lot of criticism of Bush here.
Looks like meow mix time for the viking kitties.
"Zot-a-ronie on sale, aisle 5."
Dang, that was quick. We didn't even get to play with him. LOL
You will find that people here are too astute to fall for your trick of putting forth false premises in your arguments... Nice try (not!)...
here kitty shitty kitty
A student there wrote on a blackboard, "Question Authority."
It was a wise and enlightened thing to write.
When the professor entered the room, he stopped to read the statement.
It was a wise and enlightened thing to do.
The Professor wrote on the blackboard, "If Authority answers, will you Listen?"
Fortunately the President is right so we dont have to worry about it
ZOT hell! What did he SAY? Was there a point here?
Asking about criticizing Bush.
The only place I read that Republicans criticize the patriotism of those who question the president is on left wing wacko sites...which unfortunatly nowadays includes the present leadership of the Democratic party.
If you read Free Republic, you would know we think that those who are on the left are nuts and justify their anti war stance because they are yellow livered draft dodgers who have to justify their cowardice...however, we don't criticize using the language that you use in your post.
Therefore, I suspect you never read Free Republic, nor even bother to read anyone's opinion that is to the right of the Daily Kos...
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Well..he got the GRILL part right.
Well, you suspect wrong. You might have done your homework before accepting your Demonrat Underground assignment.
While we're on the subject of DU, you might look into your heart as to that site's First Amendment setup.. it runs "say it my way, or get the Zot". So much for your side's diversity gig.
good job troll, nothing like repeating the word of a president who trashed the Constitution and guided the us towards it's now bankrupt state.
here is to you troll.
Up in my grill? Who talks like that? IATZ.
Rewatch the video of the 911 attacks and tell me there are two sideds to this again.
Screw you peacenik hippie landfill fodder.
Go smell up somewhere else.
I missed the ZOT! darn
And you aren't going today - good bye!
Get a life!
Trolls who get zotted, that's who.
Seems to me like you got all of 5 minutes.
Which is 300 seconds too long, IMO.
500 miles...wow. Around this time in 2000 I went on a trip twice that long, although we split it up, not all at once.
I'll think of you too. :)

A Simulation Model of the Price Bargaining Rules in Vertical Relationships
This paper analyzes the dynamics of the price and quantity bargaining between four agents, in a current industrial structure, with a special attention to the price bargaining. The structure combines a bilateral monopoly in a market for inputs, and a duopoly in a final market. After a simplified presentation of a model which proposes equilibrium solutions to the bargaining, we present the protocol and the results of an experiment whose objective is twofold. The first one is to test the assumptions of the model. The second one is to identify behavioral models and bargaining rules for a work of simulation. The experimental results do not confirm the solutions of the theoretical model, which predicted a Nash solution for the price bargaining, and used the cournot conjecture in the quantity bargaining. A detailed analysis of the results leads to some observations useful to parameterize a simulation model. The simulation runs a systematic analysis of the dynamics of the bargaining rules in this structure.

New York University Cancer Institute is now a member of the Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) in personalized cancer medicine Consortium. NYU Cancer Institute, which has been an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center for more than 33 years, aims to play a role in WIN's efforts to translate new approaches in personalized cancer medicine into patient care worldwide.
The WIN Consortium is a global network of 29 academic, pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare IT, and patient advocacy organizations aiming to accelerate the pace and reduce the cost of translating promising advances in genomic-based cancer research into the standard of patient care worldwide. Founded in 2010, it was created to spur collaboration between all stakeholders in personalized cancer medicine and to carry out cross-sector, worldwide clinical trials through the Consortium's network of academic and industry partners. WIN is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization headquartered in Paris.
"NYU Cancer Institute joining WIN is an important step in the continued development of the Consortium's capabilities and potential," stated WIN Consortium chairman John Mendelsohn, M.D. "The clear strengths NYU brings—experience serving a diverse patient population, excellence in disease-focused and basic science research, and committed, involved leadership—will help speed the translation of personalized cancer medicine innovations into the treatment of cancer patients."
NYU Cancer Institute isn't the only organization teaming up toward an epic WIN for personalized cancer medicine. Pfizer joined the WIN Consortium in December, Oracle Health Sciences joined in October, and other members include Agilent Technologies, GE Healthcare, Foundation Medicine, and Life Technologies.

June 3 News: Tar Sands Supporters Suffer Setback As British Columbia Rejects Pipeline
"Prices for tar sands crude have been dropping in the absence of a reliable export route."
The government of British Columbia issued an official submission to Canada's pipeline review panel rejecting a proposed pipeline through the province to the Pacific. [Guardian]
Efforts to expand production from the Alberta tar sands suffered a significant setback on Friday when the provincial government of British Columbia rejected a pipeline project because of environmental shortcomings.
In a strongly worded statement, the government of the province said it was not satisfied with the pipeline company's oil spill response plans.
The rejection of the pipeline – which was to have given Alberta an outlet to Pacific coast ports and markets in China – further raises the stakes on another controversial tar sands pipeline, Keystone XL….
The Enbridge project, though not as ambitious as Keystone XL had been an important part of Harper's contingent plan. Canadian government officials had argued that if Obama turned down Keystone XL, Canada would simply ship crude to China.

Vast areas of Northern Norway broke all previous temperature records over the weekend, with thermometers in the Arctic city of Karasjok hitting well over 30C (86F) on Saturday. Many spots in the northern counties of Finnmark, Troms and Nordland were much warmer than the Canary Islands, but cooler weather was forecast for this week.
The thermometer at the Statoil station in Karasjok in Finnmark read 34 degrees on Saturday (93F), fully 80 degrees higher than on the coldest day last winter, reported newspaper Aftenposten.
Its going to be another hot year. When is the next El Nino? That could be the straw that breaks the back with the climate crisis, as soon as that.

B.C. formally rejects Northern Gateway pipeline as proposed
Federal Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver said in a statement that his government will "review the independent Joint Review Panel's recommendation when it is published by December.
"We have been clear: Resource development will not proceed unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment," Oliver said.
Art Sterritt, executive director of Coastal First Nations, said his members had expected B.C. to reject the project, but were "very happy" that the province had stated its position so strongly.
"They could very well have couched this in less assertive language," Sterritt said.
He added that B.C.'s refusal to support the project "is kind of the final nail in the coffin" for Northern Gateway.
Great news that Canada's British Columbia rejected the pipeline.
Obama must do the same immediately and stop pussyfooting around climate change and immediately act on it at wartime speed.
We have no time to loose. Every wasted moment is at our peril.
Passing the Pipeline Would Be Harper's Political Suicide
British Columbians would not take kindly to an Alberta pro-tar sands Prime Minister ramrodding through a decision to approve the Northern Gateway Pipeline in the face of opposition from so many different constituencies. In my personal opinion, it would be political suicide.
Well, Canada, there goes 'plan B'.
Why aren't you building a refinery in Alberta? Transporting tar in a pipeline is not only a terrible idea, it's environmental sewercide!
A good sentiment, but not likley to happen. I'm afraid we're all going to have to wait for catastrophic, in your face events to change minds and establish a will for change.
Bit of an off angle post here on the state of the media we're relying on to serve as the 4th estate (which we need to keep a check on things & has been failing badly on climate change).
Here in Chicago there are two major papers, the Tribune and the Sun Times – the Koch's are supposedly in the running to buy the Tribune (after Sam Zell, real estate magnate, eviscerated it) which would leave the Sun Times as the other Chicago paper…The Sun Times just layed off all their photographers and are teaching their reporters to use iPhones for photo's and video (as well as getting external sources for photo's). Sounds like something from the Onion.
As Hansen has shown, the last few decades have seen an increase in frequency and magnitude of what once were considered to be 'extreme' events. That doesn't seem to have worked in creating a serious groundswell for real action. What will it take; what is the Pearl Harbor event(s)?
The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1, and we already have a threat to discuss. http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2424#commenttop
Frost to 100 Degrees in 58 Hours: Record May Temperature Swings
That's what passes for news these days: observations without analysis. No context at all; just one sensationalist observation after another. Notice what he didn't mention.
Yes, but really look at the rest of the news … i read today the New York Daily News …
Re. Violence surged like the mercury Sunday
a story which is also tied to climate change
It will be denied as 'natural variability', not nearly as bad as (fill in your favourite denialist canard, preferably based on 'Biblical history').
1. Incredible summer heat 110+ over the counties midsection coupled with a drought that wipes out over half the grain crop.
2. Multiple sequential hits from major category +3 hurricanes.
3. Major Midwestern city leveled by a F-5 tornado.
4. Major Western city burned down by a massive fire.
5. Disappearance of coastal seafood stocks.
6. Massive pandemic of tropical diseases.
Am I missing anything?
Even then it might not get enough attention.
People do not take the warnings from the Scientists serious, and many will say things like "we need to pray more" or are unwilling to change their lifestyle. Just like the cancer patient who smokes cigarettes through a hole in his neck.
Pro, no doubt some 'religious' worthy will blame 'gays and lesbians' for the catastrophes, as they did after 9/11.

Senator Edward Kennedy
Today we remember the third longest-serving senator in US history, Edward Kennedy. Ron Elving and Brian Naylor offer a full account of his life here. I wanted to offer something a little more obscure, so I dug into the archives and found this 1982 profile of Kennedy by Linda Wertheimer. The piece is set against the backdrop of a mid-term conference held by the Democratic Party in Philadelphia where the idea of running Kennedy for president again in 1984 had traction. Big issues at the time included the deficit, inflation, and nuclear arms...

How light can you go?
The Look Keo Blade 2 TI Pedals are an extension of the same innovations found in the original Keo Blade Carbon. They feature a wide body and reliable cleat retention system, but they save you 40 grams per pair with the incorporation of a titanium spindle.
Look's Keo Blade 2 TI's design is based on the new wide carbon central blade, which gives you a 17% wider body than the original Keo for a more stable platform underfoot. Even though the pedals are wider overall, the cornering clearance was actually increased due to the widening occurring at the topside of the pedals. To further increase efficiency, the Blade 2 features a reduced stack height by using an oversized Titanium spindle. This brings your cleat closer to the pedal, which minimizes power lost in the transfer from your feet to the drivetrain. Just in case you are concerned about the reliability of the spindle, all Look spindles are approved only after a rotational test of 2 million cycles at 100 rpm, with a load of 90kg and an eccentric rotation. The eccentric rotation replicates a "bump" in the road during each pedal stroke. This is much more abuse than your pedals will ever take on the road. The stack height of the Keo Blade 2 is 13mm. A permanent cleat-stop contact ensures the same contact no matter what angle your foot is pedaling.
At the heart of the Blade 2 TI pedals is the new "blade." This piece of carbon has been placed at the center, or "heart," of the pedal. It has been fully integrated into the design. The blade's function is to flex against the retention plate to hold your cleat in place. By placing it the full length of the pedal, your foot is not only held more securely, but the pedal's aerodynamic profile is also enhanced.
The Look Keo Blade 2 TI Pedals are available in three spring tensions: 12Nm, 16Nm, and 20Nm.
- Oversized Titanium spindles
- Reduced stack height (it's down to 13mm)
- Fully integrated carbon "blade" design

Good lightweight pedals
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I only have a few hundred miles on these so I can't comment durability but so far two thumbs up. They are smooth, light and the float is less 'notchy' than the Look Keo Max's I just came from. I was apprehensive because of some of the other reviews stating they were difficult to clip in because they are not weighted and don't default to the nose up position. My experience is that these are EASIER to clip in than the standard Look's. The pedal stays where you leave it so at a stoplight I reach down with my hand or foot and adjust it to where I want it and voila. I always engage at the 2:00 position so I position the pedal so that when it comes around it's slightly nose up at that position of the stroke and it's there every time. Also the pedal doesn't 'spin' if I take off to hard from the light making it hard to find the spot.
I would definitely recommend.
Solid pedal, poor endurance
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Loved the look and expected performance of these pedals but then a portion of the plastic broke. I certainly have some miles on these pedals but with three road bikes I would expect a high end pedal to last longer. Warranty is for 2 years....guess when they broke 2 years and 12 days. Too bad. Time to try something else.
Great, lightweight pedal
Another great lightweight Keo pedal. I got the 16nm version and find that it's actually a little bit harder to unclip from than I would like (but not a problem), so I would probably get the 12nm next time. I'm not a big sprinter, so I don't think that pulling out of the 12nm pedals would be a problem.
Great once you clip in
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These pedals are really light and look fantastic, but the orientation of an unclipped pedal is unpredictable, due to the light weight, lack of weight in the rear (compared to pedals with conventional springs) and the fairly stiff bearings and seals.
This makes clip in slow and unpredictable. You really have to look down and see where the pedal is at, and possibly move it around.
It can take ages and make you feel like the fredliest beginner. Of course if you dont look down to see where you are, and do it by feel you can end up on the reverse side of the pedal. You know its wrong, but you need that pedal stroke to keep from hindering the group, then you can slip off the pedal and encounter the sharp edges as they gouge your calf.
Of course you only clip in once in races, and I somehow never had a problem off the line, but the weight, aero benefits and stiff platform work well. So overall excellent apart from the major caveat of the clip in.
Regarding the clipping in: the pedals come ultra packed with grease - probably not according to Manufacts. recommendations, but I fixed the problem by simply removing the spindle, wiping off some grease and adding some chain lube - play around with it until the pedal spins freely - they'll rest toe up every time.
Great Pedals
These are light, really light. I previously had Look pedals and really enjoyed them so when I upgraded from Keo Classics I chose these. The pedal does not spin as easily as other models which means a little more effort to get clipped in. I noticed right away the increased surface area under foot and loved it. These are super stiff, noticeably lighter than my previous pedals (~100g), and a solid upgrade.

Truck batteries are in hot demand among Whangarei thieves,
with eight stolen in one raid over the weekend.
The batteries are likely being sold for scrap or their acid
used to make methamphetamine.
Whangarei police Sergeant Paul Nicholas said truck batteries
had been a target for thieves in recent months, and the
situation came to a head on Saturday night when eight were
stolen from trucks at a Port Rd business.
Given the size and weight of the batteries the thieves would
have needed a vehicle to transport them away.
Mr Nicholas said truck batteries were relatively expensive
and it was believed they were being sold for scrap due to the
lead they contained.
However, a Whangarei truck battery salesman, who did not want
to be identified, said the acid from the batteries was also
an ingredient used in some recipes to cook P
"A new truck battery can cost between $320 to $350 a go,
while they can be sold for scrap for about $25 to $35 each,
mainly for the lead. They are most likely being sold for
scrap as most truck drivers wouldn't want to buy a
second-hand battery.
"But the battery acid can also be used to make
The salesman said he no longer displayed batteries outside
his store for fear of them being stolen.
"A few years ago we had a pallet of truck batteries out the
back of the store inside a locked, secure cage. We left them
there at 4pm and the next morning they had cut the cage open
and nicked the whole lot.
"It's not an easy task as they are pretty heavy and a pallet
of batteries can weigh about 900kg, but they took the lot,
several thousand dollars worth," he said.
He was also aware of batteries being stolen from contractors'
vehicles that had been left on sites overnight.
Mr Nicholas said anybody offered a cheap battery, who knew
anything about the thefts, or who saw any suspicious activity
around parked trucks should ring the Whangarei police on 09
4304500 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Home > Anatomy & Physiology > The Anatomy of the Spine
The Anatomy of the Spine
The 5 sections of the spine:
- The cervical spine makes up the neck and has 7 vertibrae.
- The thoracic spine has 12 vertibrae which the ribs attach to.
- The lumbar spine has 5 which make the lower back.
- The sacrum consists of 5 bones which are fused or stuck together and the coccyx is made up of 4 tiny bones and used to be a tail.
Intervertibral Discs
Each vertibrae is separated by intervertibral discs which are flexible cartilage discs. These allow movement in the spine and have a shock absorbing or cushioning function as well.
Each disc is made up of two parts, a tougher fibrous outside and a central substance called nucleus pulposus. When a disc is damaged (or prolapsed) it is the squidgy liquid in the middle which often squeezes out putting pressure on the spinal cord causing pain.

I'm doing my best to be peaceful, non-violent, and humble as I seek epiphanies and try to help others find them too. I identify with my kids and everyone that my life will affect into the future, so I take a long term view of things. Religion and taxes are avoidable evils. Spirituality, freedom, individual sovereignty, and voluntary cooperation will eventually replace them - maybe in my lifetime if you help.

Good supplement to give regularly
Posted by MamaAki on May 17, 2012
For my little one at daycare who is prone to catching the flu bug, this really helps in alleviating and prevention. I find this more effective and likely to help shoo away the flu bug than the liquid Vit. C. Echinacea has traditionally been used to treat or prevent colds, flu, and other infections. My only gripe is of the need to give this a few times a day which could be cumbersome if you are not the primary caretaker and need someone to administer the supplement.

Really helped my baby through her first year
Posted by JayTee on Jan 14, 2014
My baby goes to daycare since she was 3 months old and I was very concerned about her catching all the bugs at school. This really helped tremendously as many products are not suitable for under 1-year olds. She takes an increased dosage whenever I see the sniffles coming and it almost always resolves without blossoming into a full-blown miserable flu. She's past 1 year old now and still taking this.

Three Women in Politics Won the Nobel Peace Prize
Not Palin, Bachmann, and Clinton.
The Committee awarded this year's prize to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, her countrywoman and peace activist Leymah Gbowee, and Yemeni journalist–democracy advocate Tawakul Karman. Especially after a year of such tumult in that part of the world, the selection of three women from Arab and African countries sends a clear signal "designed to give impetus to the cause for women's rights around the world," as the Times put it. ""We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society," read the official prize citation. Speculative lead-up to the prize announcement focused on whether the prize would go to leaders from the Arab Spring revolutions, or only to Johnson-Sirleaf, who's been outspoken on the subject of women holding power in Africa.
Johnson-Sirleaf, a Harvard-trained economist who was the subject of a fascinating New Yorker profile a few years back, is lionized internationally for her work towards progress in civil-war-battered Liberia, but still can't quite shake her long-ago, brief association with Charles Taylor (pretty much the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize winner) on her home turf. Gbowee heads the group Women for Peace, which mobilized both Christian and Muslim women to protest against the fighting during and after the country's civil war.
Karman, just 32, was a crucial figure in and outspoken spokeswoman for the Yemeni protest movement this year. Her selection, according to some, sent its own signal.
"Giving it to Yemen means giving it to the Arab Spring," said Egyptian activist Asmaa Mahfouz , who had also been nominated for the prize, Reuters reported. "This is an honor to all of us and to all Arab states."

This book will grab your imagination like no other, transplant you into a world you have probably never known, and introduce you to the intimate world of a muslim family swept by circumstance all over Africa, Arabia, and Europe. The complex interaction of tribes, clans, cultures, extended families and nations (and their consequences) isn't dryly analyzed, it is woven into a personal drama with the momentum of a locomotive. The love of family rides perilously over the jarring railbed of refugee life, of ancient and modern Islamic conflicts, all of it recounted with real compassion in beautifully clear English. This multilingual immigrant needs no ghostwriter.
Unlike the collection of editorial essays which comprised "The Caged Virgin", "Infidel" is a consistently focused narrative of a spectacularly eventful life launched almost inadvertantly into an unparalleled adventure in moral courage. But there's far more here than a clash-of-cultures story well told. There is no targeted rush toward a predestined liberation. The revelatory discovery of western freedoms comes late in the book and gathers like a slow-motion sunrise. Only in the final chapters does she defect from Muslim culture, graduate from the University of Leiden, become a Dutch legislator, a target of Islamic terrorists, and an incendiary revolutionary for Muslim womens' rights.Read more ›
This is a remarkable woman. She has crossed an impassable divide, and has been able to reach the other side--after considerable suffering, work, and tears. Her journey has not yet ended. I would imagine much more awaits her. She seems to be fated to say what many do not wish to hear.
How well does anyone in the west understand Islam, and all the things it does to people? Do we really understand female genital mutilation, beaten women, arranged marriages, the compuslive need to hide the feminine, and the complete loss of individual freedom? Americans still don't have a clue. This book makes a very real effort to explain a few things. It is painful, but important reading.
One can read the various books on Islam--with great value. This book makes it personal, and painful. It is time the west came to its senses, and faced reality. It is not "one world," all cultures are not equal in value, and the individual matters much more than the collective living in darkness.
On a more mundane level, the book is well-written, gripping, heart wrenching, powerful, painful, touching, and impossible to put down. Read it, and you, too, will feel its remarkable value--and message.
I wish this wonderful woman well . She has done so very much to open our eyes.
Years from now, maybe even centuries from now, her depth and integrity, and the depth and integrity of others like her, will still be having a positive impact on the world.
Please don't misunderstand this book. "Infidel" is NOT a right-wing tract or a left-wing tract; it is not a feminist pamphlet or an apologia for the West. "Infidel" is NOT an attack on Muslims.
"Infidel" is a beautifully written work of art. If you were living on another planet, where there were no Muslims, no Westerners, no 9-11, you would still want to read this book for its profound human depth and its literary value.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali takes the particular -- her own extraordinary life lived in Africa, Saudia Arabia, Europe and North America, lived as a hyper- devout Muslim and lived as a new atheist -- and, with the clarity of an electron microscope, depicting every detail, she creates a work of universal resonance.
Have you ever been afraid to defy convention? Have you ever suffered to learn that your family's and people's traditions were not as benign as you had been taught to believe? Have you ever witnessed injustice and not known what to do? Have you ever wanted to be a hero or a heroine?
If so, then you will see yourself in this book, even given its exotic details.
Its exotic details include a heartbreaking scene that describes how madrassah -- Koran school -- pupils brutalized a girl they dubbed "kintirleey," that is, a girl whose private female anatomy had not yet been mutilated, as per Muslim-African custom.
This scene is written in the most simple of language. You could read it with the television on in the background.Read more ›

on January 1, 2014 - 12:01 AM
Q: My husband's ex just moved back to our town from Washington, D.C. He has children with her, ages 13 and 15. She wants to keep the order the same, which is that the kids can see their dad whenever they feel like it, and as the stepparent I don't think that's fair. I want my husband to change the order, but it's like he's afraid of something and doesn't reach out. She has made her husband "the father" and does not include mine. The kids get sick or hurt and we only know because of Facebook. Advice? What's good ex-etiquette?
A: Good ex-etiquette rule No. 4 is "Parents make the rules, bonusparents uphold them." In other words, good ex-etiquette means the parents talk to each other, figure out their custody agreement and then you as the bonusparent (stepparent) support what they decide. The only time this is impractical is when bonusparents have children of their own and rules are already in place. Then it's an intricate dance to integrate both families' rules into a working bonusfamily unit. Bottom line: Stay out of Dad's custody agreement. The more you bug him, the more it is going to affect your relationship with him. If he's not involved, it's on him. It's simply not your call.
That's not the only red flag. There are too many to discuss in this limited space – however an important one is this: You said mom has made her husband, "dad." I don't know how the current custody plan was decided, however, the most common practice allows the person who was determined to be the primary caregiver the right to move with the children. If that's what happened and mom was allowed to move, it's her obligation as a parent to support as much time as possible with dad, in the best interest of the children. However, more times than not, that's not what happens.
We are raised to believe that the best "family" is one with a mom, a dad and children. If there is a breakup, some try to replace their children's parent with their new partner, doing their best to sabotage the child-bioparent relationship. They move away, prevent parenting time, even start calling the noncustodial parent by their first name and their new partner Dad or Mom. That is about the worst ex-etiquette possible.
Parents break up with each other and look for new partners, but kids don't break up with their parents and look for a new mom or dad. In cases when the child/parent relationship has been undermined, as a child gets older, he or she often opts to live with the parent they didn't get to know and then find out that the custodial parent set it all in motion. Then the child becomes estranged from the original custodial parent – and that one is a difficult one to undo.
So, now that mom and the kids have moved closer, this is Dad's chance to get in there and be a dad. Although older kids often like an open-ended schedule, it may be best to start out with a set schedule so dad and kids can plan and expect set time together. Then, as time moves on and their relationship becomes less fragile, everyone, including mom, might be more open to a more casual schedule.

Probably not as to the cigarette smoke, maybe to the feeding of wildlife - that is a question you need to ask of your local animal control.

When I was a small larva I couldn't wait to grow and become the last coin to drop in the slot or another way for people to ask for your money. Maybe the old bank is empty, empty as a poor man's piggy bank. When you're a man that repels money, you also repel the dreaded fruit flies, that hover the corpse of a dead dream, a dream about happiness and a little time left for the rabbit to eat a stingray. Tradition tells, that every rabbit should do that at least once in his life or he would have seen them coming to a halt. The nearby train scared the crows from the field. Because of that, I had to go hunting until daybreak. They never returned to sender, that is what the sticker on the box said. Maybe the address was typed for speed above all, but the other monks might sleep during the day, but in this place they carve until some poor sap can pay the boat driver or he will leave him standing with the beginning of it all.

Katherine Heigl in J Brand
Katherine Heigl was spotted doing some shopping around the Hollywood neighbourhood of Los Feliz in Los Angeles, California on Valentine's Day. It looks like she picked up a few things, perhaps for the evening.
Katherine wore a pair of J Brand's Aoki Low Rise Cropped Cuff jeans in Obsessed wash with a red checked shirt and sandals. Usually I quite like Katherine's style, it's sort of classy and very well put together, but this one I don't like that much. I know it's important to be casual sometimes, but I feel like the tucking in of the shirt with the belt counteracts the casualness of the look. Buy J Brand jeans online at Singer22.com.

Katherine Heigl in Black Orchid
Back from her promotional tour for One for The Money, Katherine Heigl spent some down time with her mother in Los Angeles. The two were seen having lunch together at Louise's Trattoria before making their exit in Katherine's car.
Katherine wore a pair of Black Orchid flares and a gray knit sweater. It's been quite some time since we've seen Katherine wearing Black Orchid, but I love this flared style on her. You can buy Black Orchid jeans online at Singer22.com.

Katherine Heigl in J Brand
Katherine Heigl took a break from promotional duties for her film, One for the Money, to do some shopping in New York City.
Katherine has been wearing a lot of J Brand while promoting the film, most recently, she wore a pair of J Brand's 912 low rise pencil leg in dynamite wash, with a pair of Christian Louboutin boots and a Rebecca Minkoff bag. I love the camel color of the boots contrasted with the dark wash of the jeans. You can buy these jeans online from J Brand for $191.

Katherine Heigl in Hudson
Katherine Heigl was seen getting out of a car and heading into an office building in Beverly Hills, California last week. I find that no matter where she is going, she always looks so classy! Even just tying her hair back and putting on her sunglasses, there is something about Katherine that just makes her glamorous and classy, I love it!
She chose to wear a pair of Hudson Nico skinny jeans in Chelsea for the day with a cream cardigan, grey and gold wedges and a blue shirt. I absolutely love this! I think she looks fantastic and everything fits her perfectly! I'm a big fan of the Nico's in Chelsea, they are actually one of my go to pairs of jeans, I wear them a lot. The wash is classic and the fit is incredible! You can see my review on these jeans here and you can buy these jeans online at Hudson for $154.
