Ayelet Zurer
Ayelet Zurer has long been the most recognized actress in her native Israel, with a gaggle of roles that have ushered in critical acclaim and prestigious awards by the truck full. It was only a matter of time until Hollywood sunk its gold teeth into this exotic beauty. Lucky for her, the "Hollywood" we speak of wasn't the Wayans Brothers or Dane Cook. It was Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard and the films were Munich and Angels and Demons.
AppealWith the likes of Bar Rafaeli and Esti Ginzburg making all kinds of waves around these parts, Israeli women have suddenly become as hot a commodity as cilantro-infused cocktails. Cue Ayelet Zurer, whose unique brand of smokey exoticism and intellectual appeal make her more likely to be spotted in an art gallery than suntanning on the beach. She does, however, live with her husband Gilad Londovski and their son Liad in Venice Beach, so let's keep our fingers crossed for some bikini photos sometime soon. Oh and by the way, does anyone know how to spell "bombshell" in Hebrew?
SuccessAfter studying acting in New York City, Ayelet Zurer moved back to her native Israel and began to swiftly conquer screens both big and small. Her most famous Israeli roles include the lead in Betipul -- a wildly popular Israeli television series that became the inspiration for HBO's In Treatment -- and the title role in Nina's Tragedies, for which she won an Israeli Academy Award for Best Actress. As the awards piled up, Zurer's international profile began expanding, until some obscure American filmmaker decided to cast her opposite Eric Bana in a film called Munich. The filmmaker's name was Steven Spielberg and Munich was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Since then, Zurer has played a terrorist in the Rashomon-esque thriller Vantage Point and most recently starred opposite Tom Hanks in the Ron Howard-directed mega blockbuster Angels And Demons, becoming the most popular Middle Eastern export since falafel.
Ayelet Zurer BiographyAyelet Zurer is a child of the Holocaust. As a 5-year-old in Czechoslovakia, Zurer's mother survived the war by hiding out in a convent, reunited with her family for only a year in the '50s, and then immigrated to Israel, where she met and married Zurer's father, a government worker with a knack for painting. Surrounded by the arts as a child, the stunning Zurer gravitated towards performing. But before she could dawn a leotard on stage, like all Israeli teenagers, she had to embrace the combat boots that make up the uniform of the Israeli Defence Force. Zurer spent her time in the army singing for the troops as part of the special arts division before completing her stint and trying her hand at modeling in Japan. When that didn't work out -- her aversion to sushi and love of hamburgers didn't exactly make her "model material" -- Zurer finally moved to New York to study her true love -- acting.
ayelet zurer takes israel by stormBelieve it or not, there's a lot more to Israel then rolling beaches, wailing walls and suicide bombs. For the better part of the decade, Israel has undergone a cinematic renaissance, of which Ayelet Zurer has been at the forefront. Her lead role in the 1998 film Ahava Asura introduced her to audiences, but it was her performance as a widow who lost her husband in a terrorist attack in Nina's Tragedies that earned her the Israeli equivalent of an Oscar for Best Actress and made her a national star. Often referred to as "The Julia Roberts of Israel," Zurer went on to star in a number of films and in the TV series Be'Tipul, the original Israeli version of HBO's In Treatment. The show was a national phenomenon and her role as a disturbed and hyper-sexualized woman who is convinced she is in love with her therapist earned her an Israeli Television Academy Award for Best Actress. With Hollywood all over her these days, you can expect to see Ayelet Zurer coming soon to an Oscar podium near you.
ayelet zurer gets recruited by steven spielbergWhen most actresses get cryptic calls in the middle of the night from a stranger, it's usually an obsessed stalker phoning to proclaim love. For Ayelet Zurer, it was a casting director asking Zurer to audition on tape for a role in a film. Zurer was skeptical until she discovered that the film was Steven Spielberg's Munich, a devastating thriller that dealt with Israel's response to the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. The film was an overwhelming success and Zurer -- who played Eric Bana's doting wife in the film -- suddenly became that "mysterious brunette" that everyone, including us, wanted a piece of.
ayelet zurer stars in angels and demonsAfter Munich, Zurer beefed up her Hollywood pedigree with a role as a seductive terrorist in the high profile thriller Vantage Point and the indie drama Adam Resurrected, before landing the role to end all roles. When Ron Howard began casting his The Da Vinci Code follow-up Angels And Demons, he needed an actress who could hold her own opposite Tom Hanks and fill the daunting shoes of The Da Vinci Code's Audrey Tautou. After auditioning eight actresses, including Naomi Watts, Howard settled on the stoic Zurer, who according to him saw "something very un-self conscious and honest and earthy" in the actress. He also appreciated her "capacity to deal with the scientific jargon in a way that felt honest." The film has grossed more than $360 million worldwide to date. Ayelet Zurer, welcome to superstardom.

There was a thick crimson line of frozen blood that raced down Matt Barrett's left leg, sharp cuts on his left and right shins that look like someone took a knife to them. It couldn't detract from the glowing smile he wore.
Virginia's freshman goalie did former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling one better with two bloody socks after steering away a career-best 16 shots in saving the Cavaliers from feisty Drexel, 11-10, on Mark Cockerton's game-winning goal with :15 left on Saturday at Drexel's Vidas Athletic Complex.
It marked the third-straight, one-goal victory for No. 7-ranked (USILA) Virginia, while Drexel was opening its season.
For Barrett, who played in high school for nearby Malvern Prep, it was an emotionally charged homecoming. Barrett had gone to the last Virginia-Drexel. But he watched that from the stands.
He's gone from the dancing bear at Malvern Prep to the dancing "teddy bear," as Virginia coach Dom Starsia likes to call him. He's also gone from a true freshman placed in a serious role early to becoming a proven commodity in this young season for Virginia.
At times against Drexel, Barrett single-handedly kept the Cavaliers in the game, while Virginia went into offensive lulls, like going 18:14 without a goal from the middle of the third quarter until late in the fourth.
"When I was getting recruited by coach Starsia, he told me I had a decent shot at the starting job," said Barrett, who beat out sophomore Dan Marino, junior Rhody Heller and senior Matt Robertson as the starter. "I just tried to improve every day in the fall and before the Loyola game, they told me I was going to start. I've taken it from there and worked on improving. I think this was our best game yet, overall. I thought I played pretty well and focused on staying settled in the beginning of the game.
"My family and friends were in the stands and I couldn't let emotions get the best of me. I've been to two of the last Drexel-Virginia games and they're always hard fought. There is a lot of passion and emotion in this game. I got cut up pretty good with all of the blood on my legs, but I'm too cold to feel anything right now."
Afterward, Starsia wasn't too pleased. He saw some great flow from his team, which ran off six unanswered goals to turn a 5-3 deficit into a 9-5 lead and seemingly strong command of the game. Then they reverted to a team suddenly indecisive and hesitant.
Starsia witnessed the Cavs give up nine-straight goals to Loyola in their season opener. Against Drexel, he saw them give up four-straight during a critical time.
"We don't want to play every game like this, we had opportunities to put this game under control and we didn't do it, that's a greater concern to me than anything else," Starsia said. "Matt is a big easy going kid and there was some concern after the first two games with the statistical piece of it. There was hardly a goal in the first two games I would have held him responsible for. What he didn't do in the first two games was steal a couple of goals, like he had been throughout the preseason and today.
"Matt coming home was something we were really giving a close eye to, but he got off to a really, really good start. Frankly, he was probably the single guy I would pick out as being the most instrumental in us winning today. Matt gives us the best chance to win. You worry about a freshman's confidence. There's no question Matt's a tough kid, and a lot of things roll right off his back. You like to see that in a goalie, especially a young one. We've won with young goalies before."
Starsia likes the poise his team has exhibited. But there's been something missing here and there. Virginia hasn't played a complete game—and certainly not to Starsia's standards yet.
"We have made too mistakes and given other teams a chance to get back into these games," Starsia said. "We have not played well a complete game for 60 minutes. We have to clean some of that up. We came on the road like this and this was a battle. In the huddle after the game was over, I called out a lot of my veterans because defensively early in the game we gave the ball away too many times. Offensively, we turned the ball over. We had a chance to bury that game earlier. So my big boys have got to start to play better—period. That was the message. Everybody can see that. I'm shallow enough to know a win is better than a loss."
Through just three games, James Pannell has already scored more goals (10) and equaled his point tally for all of last year (12, 7g, 5a), after drooping two goals against Drexel in Virginia's 11-10 win.
"I wasn't 100-percent last year with an ankle injury and I tried to come back a little too early on it and that hurt me," said Pannell, the younger of Cornell great Rob Pannell. "This season, I feel really good and I'm trying to be consistent. I'm far more confident and comfortable than I've ever been and I think that shows. After the first two wins and scoring a couple of goals, it helps build that confidence. This game was a big win. Drexel always gives us a good game. They came back and scared us a little bit there."
Drexel coach Brian Voelker saw some things he liked, and feels there are some correctable mistakes that will need to get addressed before the Dragons take the field against next week at Albany.
But Voelker had to be pleased with the two-goalie system he used, getting great production from sophomores Will Gabrielsen, who had five saves in the first half, and sophomore Cal Winkelman, who had eight saves, making one literally on his back.
"I like the way our guys battled back," said a very hoarse Voelker. "We had some opportunities and we didn't. Will and Cal had good years last year and it's why we split them. They both work really hard and I felt they both deserved an opportunity and they both did a really good job. Their goalie, Barrett, had a really good game, too. He probably had more saves than he did the previous two combined."
Voelker wants to see more improvement, however, on the defensive end, especially after Drexel's Nick Saputo won 19 of 25 faceoffs. Nick Trizano scored a game-high four goals for the Dragons.
"It concerns you when you win that many faceoffs and you don't win the game," Voelker said. "We had opportunities and silly turnovers. Hopefully, we can learn from those mistakes. We feel good about our personnel. I thought our midfielders did a good job, we played a lot of offensive middies today. I don't know if we're going to continue playing that many or cut it down a little. We're still trying to figure a few things and we're probably still going to go with this goalie rotation."

Comments about this product:
I didn't look at the product description prior to purchasing. I thought that this would be music directly from the show itself in its original form. I was initially disappointed when I heard that it was new recordings of old songs. I was looking for that song in particular in the scene where the agent was meeting and having sex with Lucy. But still overall it was ok. I don't think that I would buy volume 2 at full price though.

Comments about this product:
The best way to get this period in early jazz right is to hire Vince Giordano. His vast knowledge of the reality of the music from this time recreated using top flight musicians make for an adventure in time travel.
I was only acquainted with a few of singers on this album, and was perhaps expecting broadway show type singing, but was pleasantly surprised with many of the renditions.
As an afficianado of old recordings, the only thing I missed on this CD is the hiss of old record noise.

NEWTON, Mass. - No. 2 North Carolina scored four goals in the final 17 minutes of play to earn a 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference win Saturday afternoon over host Boston College at Newton Campus Field. The Tar Heels improved to 13-1 overall and 3-0 in ACC play while the 25th-ranked Eagles fell to 7-6 (1-3 ACC).
Sophomore Charlotte Craddock, a forward from Wolverhampton, England, picked up a hat trick with all three goals coming on penalty corners. The fourth and final goal of the game came from sophomore Loren Shealy.
"It was a tough ACC contest and I'm particularly delighted to get a shutout," said UNC coach Karen Shelton. "I did feel that once we got the first goal, the rest would come and I'm really proud of Charlotte for putting it on target and for getting a hat trick - it certainly opened up the game for us.
"And I'm really proud of the great team effort overall. We've got some injuries and this was a physical contest, but we handled it. This game makes us a tougher, better team."
Neither team scored in the first half. UNC outshot BC 12-4 but just four of the Tar Heel shots were on target and all were saved by Eagles goalkeeper Leah Settipane. Carolina drew four corners in the first half but was unable to convert on any of them.
Craddock's gamewinner came on UNC's first penalty corner of the second half. With 17 minutes remaining in the game, the sophomore fired a shot past Settipane, assisted by seniors Katie Ardrey and Katie Plyler.
Ninety seconds later at the other end of the field, BC's Kelcie Hromisin's shot came inches from tying the game for the Eagles, but Carolina sophomore Samantha Travers made a defensive save on the line to keep the ball out of the cage and keep BC off the board.
With just over eight minutes remaining and the Tar Heels up 1-0, BC pulled its goalkeeper to try to get the equalizer with the help of an additional player in the field. Two minutes later, UNC drew a corner and Craddock blasted her shot past the BC defenders to put Carolina up 2-0. Ardrey and senior Kelsey Kolojejchick assisted.
Down 2-0, the Eagles put Settipane back in. The Tar Heels scored on their final corner of the half, with Craddock again taking the shot, assisted by Ardrey and Kolojejchick. The goal was Craddock's team-high 13th of the season and made UNC 3-for-3 on corners in the second half.
"We know what Charlotte is capable of doing and what she did today isn't different than what she does in practice," Shelton said. "But it's different when it's under pressure and we need a big goal - she came through for us."
The Tar Heels' final goal came with 26 seconds to play, when senior Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany sent a cross across the cage from the left and Shealy deflected it in from the right post.
BC finished the game with six corners, all of which came in the second half with the game still scoreless. The Eagles had five corners in a row then drew one more a few seconds later. UNC's corner defense - goalkeeper Sassi Ammer, Emily Wold, Caitlin Van Sickle, Abby Frey and Travers at that point in the game - thwarted them all.
"We talked in pregame about wanting to get the shutout," Shelton said. "And we had a huge defensive stand - they had all those corners in a row and our kids stood strong and I'm really proud of them for that."
UNC returns to Newton Campus Field on Sunday at noon for a neutral-site matchup with Dartmouth. The Big Green is 6-4 on the season after winning its last five games. The two have never met before and have had no common opponents thus far in the season, but Dartmouth has played two other top-five teams, falling 6-0 at Maryland and 4-1 at Princeton.
No. 2 UNC 4, No. 25 Boston College 0
Scoring: UNC - Charlotte Craddock (Katie Ardrey, Katie Plyler), 53:00; UNC - Craddock (Ardrey, Kelsey Kolojejchick), 63:57; UNC - Craddock (Ardrey, Kolojejchick), 67:37; UNC - Loren Shealy (Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany), 69:34
Shots: UNC 22 (12/10); BC 12 (4/8)
Penalty corners: UNC 7 (4/3); BC 6 (0/6)
Records: UNC 13-1 (3-0 ACC); BC 7-6 (1-3 ACC)

Complete Match Notes | GameTracker vs. N.C. State | Live Video vs. N.C. State (Free) | Live Stats vs. UNC
PITTSBURGH -- Pitt volleyball will have a tough series of tests when it hits the road again this week. The Panthers face N.C. State at 7 p.m. on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., and No. 14 North Carolina at 1 p.m. on Sunday in Chapel Hill. Both opponents rank in the top four of the ACC standings with the Tar Heels entering the weekend with just a single loss this fall.
Pitt has a short history with both of this weekend's opponents. The Panthers have a 3-0 advantage in the series with the Wolfpack, but the two squads have not met since 1983. The series with the Tar Heels was only recently renewed, but even they haven't played since 2004. Pitt leads in that series as well, 8-3.
It has been three decades since Pitt and N.C. State last squared off. Pitt took the win in each of those matches beginning in 1979 (2-1), followed by bouts in 1982 (3-0) and 1983 (3-2). Of those matches, only one played out in Raleigh - the 1982 straight-sets victory for the Panthers.
Pitt and North Carolina last played in 2004, and the Panthers took a four-set victory (30-27, 35-27, 30-24, 30-26). Gini Ullery finished with 21 kills and 11 digs for Pitt, while Diana Andreyko totaled 18 kills and 11 digs. Both teams put up solid blocking numbers with 12 or better apiece.
Most of Pitt and North Carolina's meetings have come at neutral sites. Pitt is 5-2 against the Tar Heels on a neutral court, 1-0 at home and 2-1 in Chapel Hill. The last time they played on UNC's turf was in 2000. Things didn't go so well for the Panthers in that match with North Carolina winning 15-7, 16-14, 15-6.
Pitt is 5-2 in straight-sets matches against North Carolina. The two teams have never gone to five sets against each other. The series began in 1978.
Just a dozen regular-season matches remain on Pitt's 2013 schedule. Four of those will be at home when the Panthers host Wake Forest in their first-ever meeting and Duke in early November, followed by Maryland and N.C. State at the end of the month. The slate also includes road rematches with Syracuse and Virginia, as well as a trip to South Bend to visit old Big East rival Notre Dame.
Pitt's last four victories have all come in three sets. That includes last Friday's victory over Boston College as well as Clemson, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. The Panthers are 8-3 in straight-sets matches this fall and 4-6 in matches that go four sets or longer.
Team hitting efficiency has proven to be a major factor in wins and losses this season. Pitt is 12-2 when it hits .200 or better as a squad - the losses came against Cornell (.233) and Florida State (.290) - but just 1-7 when it hits at a sub-.200 pace (with a win over South Florida (.183)).
Through 13 non-conference matches, Lindsey Zitzke served 15 aces. In just eight ACC contests, the junior has already totaled 16 aces and leads the conference with 0.59/set. Her conference highs include four aces against Georgia Tech and Virginia.
Jenna Jacobson registered her second double-double of the season against Syracuse on Sunday, totaling 21 assists and a career-high 11 digs. Her first double-double came in Pitt's three-set win over Northeastern on Sept. 7 when she posted 21 assists and 10 digs.
Last weekend Delaney Clesen surpassed 300 single-season digs for the first time in her career. The junior enters the road trip with 318 digs this fall and 898 for her career.
Pitt has struggled traditionally against nationally ranked teams. The Panthers are 8-102 all-time against top-25 teams. The last time they defeated a nationally ranked squad was Nov. 6, 2005 when they upset No. 5 Notre Dame in five sets. Each of Pitt's last three wins over a ranked team have come against Notre Dame. Pitt is 0-2 this season against ranked teams having lost to then-No. 22 Purdue (3-2) on Sept. 14 and then-No. 21 Florida State (3-0) on Oct. 13.
The second set seems to be critical to the overall outcome of the match for Pitt this year. The Panthers are 6-3 when winning the second set but just 0-6 when losing it.
Pitt is 9-1 this fall in matches when it outblocks its opponent. The only loss came just last Saturday against Virginia when the Panthers lost in five sets despite winning 17.0 to 12.0 in the blocks department. Pitt is just 2-8 when it records fewer total team blocks than its foe.

Living in Dubai is a subject which has been in the press on numerous occasions over the last few years, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for not so good reasons. The economy has taken most of the headlines with regards to Dubai with those living in Dubai having something of a rollercoaster ride in recent times. So what exactly does Dubai have to offer and what are the prospects for the future?
When you consider that Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates it will come as no surprise to learn it has a very hot climate to say the least. This well-known UAE state is situated directly in line with the Arabian Desert and as a consequence Dubai has a very hot arid climate with long summers where temperatures can reach upwards of 40°C and even the night-time temperature can be around 30°C. The winters in Dubai are very mild and often very short with an average temperature of 23°C during the daytime and 14°C during the evening. To say that Dubai has a climate that will not suit everybody is an understatement!
Up until the recent worldwide economic downturn, brought about as a consequence of the credit crunch which began in America, the Dubai economy was one of the boom-time areas of the world. Companies, investors and expats were literally fighting amongst themselves to gain access to Dubai where many people forecast that the economic upturn would continue for many years to come. However, prominent areas such as property and finance grew so fast and to such levels that many people were concerned about the short-term outlook and a possible correction.
However, the Dubai authorities were more than happy to talk up the economy time and time again and invest billions upon billions of dollars into the infrastructure, as a means of attracting overseas investors. When the credit crunch occurred, the Dubai economy somehow managed to rise above the worldwide economic downturn for a number of months only to suddenly fall into a deep downward spiral and literally collapse. Many expats and investors have left the shores of Dubai and many companies have been downsizing their operations with significant job losses and economic difficulties expected in the short to medium term.
Many predicted a decline in the Dubai economy with indepth discussions in the Dubai Fourm :-
"Is the Dubai economic bubble about to burst? From where I am sitting it certainly has developed a big leak!"
As the Dubai property market rose to levels which many believed were unsustainable, there was a massive increase in the number of people employed within the construction sector and the financial sector also attracted its fair share of internal and overseas investment. We saw the creation of some massive property projects in Dubai and indeed more and more companies began to arrive, seeing Dubai as the future growth area of the Middle East and a potential east meets west opportunity to sell their services and their wares in the area.
Unfortunately this economic boom in Dubai was funded using massive debt which has now come back to haunt the Dubai authorities with a number of companies, some with state connections, experiencing financial difficulties. It is rumoured that the Dubai authorities have built up a debt pile of between $60 billion and $80 billion over the last few years as they attempted to kick-start the "new Dubai" economy. There have been massive job losses in the property sector, construction sector as well as the financial sector and many people believe it will take some time for these areas of the Dubai economy to recover.
Dubai, and indeed the United Arab Emirates as a whole, is an income tax free haven which has made the area even more popular amongst investors, companies and expats. This is perhaps one of the main reasons why the Dubai authorities have built up a debt pile approaching $80 billion as they look to expand the economy and take a shortcut to success. While there have been various promises of income tax being introduced in Dubai, and the other UAE states, this is unlikely to happen in the short to medium term until the various economies at least have a solid foundation for the future.
While there are no income tax obligations or corporate tax obligations in Dubai you will pay various sales taxes on items such as alcohol and hotel services although in general these are significantly less than you would pay in countries such as the UK. It is likely that the Dubai equivalent of VAT will be used as a potential income earner for the Dubai authorities in the short term rather than introduce income tax to the region. There are obviously enormous benefits for expats moving to the Dubai region with regards to taxation and the potential savings can make life in the area that little bit more comfortable.
Income tax in Dubai is not an issue at the moment, but many in the Dubai Forum believe this could all change :-
"How long before those in charge figure out that one way of resolving Dubai's ecconomic woes is to impliment taxes on expat incomes"
Cost of living
The cost of living in Dubai is probably a lot cheaper than many people would expect although compared to places such as the UK there can be significant differences in various items you would need in your everyday life. We will cover the cost of property in Dubai in a separate section, but in general while the cost of accommodation, imported food items and branded goods can increase your cost of living substantially, in general the comparison between Dubai and places such as the UK is very favourable to Dubai.
However, as with so many countries around the world, you can make your cost of living as expensive or as cheap as you want depending upon the type of lifestyle you are after and where you want to live. The very fact that taxation is very rare in Dubai, with import taxes significantly lower than those in the UK, does assist with the cost of items such as TVs, electrical equipment and other household goods and even the cost of wines and spirits is still relatively cheap compared to most European and Western countries.
The cost of living in Dubai can vary and is a subject covered in detail in the Dubai Forum :-
"Items that are cheaper in the UK include most clothes, magazines, DVDs & CDs, books & certain imported foodstuffs.
Pools usually have a chiller for the summer months (& sometimes a heater for the winter ones), but can be expensive to run, so factor that in."
Property prices
As we touched on above, the Dubai property market has emerged over the last decade from literally zero up to the blue sky levels and back down again. This is a market which was literally non-existent 10 years ago and one which the Dubai authorities have invested substantial amounts of money into in the knowledge that overseas and internal investors would race to gain exposure to what many believed was the boom time market of the moment. So what happened?
The cost of a property in Dubai can run into the millions of dollars although it is also possible to rent in certain areas of Dubai for "relatively" low amounts of money compared to the more luxurious end of the market. It is difficult to understand sometimes quite how fast the market has grown and how many investors chased property prices to levels which were unsustainable in the short to medium term. Indeed, as the credit crunch hit we saw numerous large Dubai projects either mothballed or put on hold for the time being as banks and property companies struggled to sell on these very expensive and very time-consuming projects.
At this point in time there is some excellent value for money properties available in Dubai, after the recent upheaval in the property market and the ongoing worldwide economic downturn. Opinion seems to be divided as to whether the Dubai economy, and the Dubai property market, will bounce back in the short to medium term, whether Dubai is a busted flush or whether indeed it will rise again when investors calm down and look to the future.
The clever money would appear to be on a relatively quiet period in the short to medium term and then a general increase in demand and popularity which should see the economy and the property market consolidate and then move ahead.
Finding a property in Dubai is not always easy as many have found in the Dubai forum :-
"I will be relocating to Dubai in the next month or so, and starting work at Du Telecom. Since the office is located in Dubai Media City, I was wondering if someone can advise me on nice apartment complexes near by. I am contemplating getting a car, but would still like the commute to be short."
Expat communities
The expat community in Dubai is enormous and had been growing at a very impressive rate over the last few years, just prior to the credit crunch and the economic downturn. However, in the short term there are signs of expats leaving Dubai and returning "home" now that the economy is struggling and employment is for many people difficult to obtain. However, there are still many expats living in Dubai who will remain there through these troubled times with various pockets situated across the state.
There are many overseas investors who moved to Dubai and there are also many overseas employees who have obtained employment in Dubai via various company expansions in the region. Initially there were concerns that the Dubai culture would swamp any western influences but the Dubai authorities seem, at least to a certain extent, to appreciate some of the more western ways of life as a kind of concession for overseas investors who have decided to live and/or work in the region.
There has been some confusion as to whether certain western ways of life are overlapping areas of the Dubai culture and whether there could be some potential problems with the law. But until now there has been very little friction between the Dubai culture and the western way of life but that is not to say this will stay intact forever and a day.
There is a large expat community in Dubai offering the chance to find friends when you arrive :-
"I am relatively new to Dubai, been here for around 6 months, looking to make new friends and enlarge my social circle, some fun and down to earth people to hang out with, and do some fun activities with,
Transport network
One of the reasons why the Dubai authorities have built up so much debt is the massive investment in the Dubai infrastructure which also includes a state-of-the-art transport network. While there's no doubt that in order to attract overseas investors, expats and companies, there was a need to introduce a modern transport network, as well as other facilities, many believe overinvestment on behalf the state will impact upon the short to medium term outlook of the economy – purely and simply because of the debt situation.
Like so many states in the Middle East Dubai has invested significant amounts of money into transport, public services and other everyday sectors which will in the end attract more visitors and more investors and literally pay for themselves.
Dubai is a state which has attracted massive attention over the last decade with an economy which has literally grown from nothing to become one of the investment hotspots of the world. However, the Dubai authorities effectively took a shortcut to the boom time by investing massive amounts of money into the state's infrastructure in order to attract the attention of overseas investors, companies and expats. In many ways this has been successful but over the last few months we have seen a marked fall in the property market which has spread to other areas of the Dubai economy and indeed the rumoured $80 billion debt built up by the authorities over the years is starting to cause concern.
Even though a number of expats have decided to leave Dubai and return "home" there is still a large expat community in the region and this is likely to grow in the medium to longer term. In the short term the best we can hope for is a stabilisation of the Dubai economy and a reorganisation of the property sector and the financial sector. Unemployment is becoming a problem in Dubai with literally thousands of workers in the public sector left with no projects and no income.
Many economists have very different views on the future of Dubai with some believing that the relative inexperience of the regulators and the ruling family will ensure many investors stay away for some time to come, although others believe the recent downturn is a long-term buying opportunity and the area is still set for growth in the future. In reality the short-term direction of the Dubai economy is shrouded in mystery and indeed there are differing opinions on the medium to long-term prospects.
Dubai has for some time now been a haven for expats looking to start a new life in what was a relatively buoyant economy with the option to gain exposure to the Dubai property sector, which had performed very well just prior to the economic downturn. There are opportunities in Dubai in the medium to longer term although many people are blinded by the difficulties at the moment and unable to look too far ahead.
The Dubai authorities, although they have made mistakes, have invested heavily to give the Dubai economy a strong base for the future. It seems highly unlikely that investors will shun Dubai forever although how and when it will recover and to what level remains to be seen.

Deep Fried and Pickled (The Rachael O'Brien Chronicles Book 1)
List Price: unavailable
Sale Price: Too low to display.
Availability: unspecified
Product Description
Book one of THE RACHAEL O'BRIEN CHRONICLES introduces Rachael O'Brien, whose plan to study Art History turns into a laugh-out-loud romp of misadventure. It's 1986, the era of Pop Rocks, Jelly shoes, and big hair rock bands when she enrolls in a southern college intending to earn a degree, party, and meet cute guys—hopefully acing the latter two. She has barely had time to acquaint herself to the dorm food before finding herself threatened by a jealous She-Devil, fending off the advances of a thirty-something redneck, and stumbling upon an art fraud scheme. To top things off, her parents go their separate ways: her mom to follow a psychic calling; her dad adrift in his midlife crisis.Bad decision-making, law-bending behavior, and surprise romances make freshman year memorable in Paisley Ray's DEEP FRIED AND PICKLED.
No features available.

Woman living alone in her home is found dead inside by firefighters arriving at the scene of blaze
A house fire Thursday night took the life of 77-year-old King City resident Patricia Lorentz.
Firefighters found Lorentz on the living room floor in her home after responding to a one-alarm house fire at 16100 S.W. Queen Victoria Place in King City.
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Tigard Engine 51, with about 15 firefighters, arrived on scene for the fire call while King City Engine 35 crews were working an unrelated life-threatening medical situation about a block away from the fire.
'When they arrived at 9:05 p.m., (firefighters) found fire consuming the living room of a single-story home. They broke windows out and forced the front door so as to battle the flames and begin searching for a reported occupant inside,' said TVF and R spokeswoman Karen Eubanks.
A neighbor of Lorentz had called 911 saying there was a fire in the woman's living room and reported there was an occupant in the home.
Eubanks said firefighters quickly found the elderly woman and brought her outside to begin life-saving procedures, but it was too late.
'Fire fighters arriving on the scene single handily knocked down the fire and brought Lorentz out and tried to resuscitate here,' she said.
Fire District officials were told that Lorentz lived by herself.
Fire investigators found the metal remains of a recliner chair, cigarette butts, and matches and lighters where the fire is believed to have originated. Finding no evidence of other potential causes, investigators believe the most probable cause to be smoker's carelessness, Eubanks said.
It is believed that a cigarette likely smoldered in or near the chair for some time before erupting into flames.
According to Eubanks, this incident marks the third fire death due to cigarettes for TVF and R since January 2005.
Previous incidents include an incident on January 2005 in West Linn and another in February 2005 in Tigard.

I'm very sure that this is NOT an alert to you good Sante Fe owners who love your car as much as I do but you should be aware of the situation that I have encountered. This may be just a one vehicle fluke. Please contact me if this has happened to you.
My car: [b]NEW 2008 Sante Fe Limited, full package beauty with only 7500 miles driven.
Last week while on my way to a job, doing about 40 mph I noticed that there was no response when I pressed on the accelerator pedal. There was no power!?
I was still coasting and hitting the pedal but NOTHING! I looked again at the instrument panel and saw my 'check engine' as well as oil pressure lights on and realized that the engine was dead so I coasted to the roadside. You know, that engine is so darn quiet that I could not even tell that the engine was not on.
I tried starting the engine. It was turning over easily but would not start. The fuel gauge registered just less than 1/4 tank full and I believe the digital "miles left' for the gas stated something like 50-60 miles. I thought I had fuel and was worried about something other than an empty tank. After calling AAA club which was a mistake....NOTE: CALL HYUNDAI'S ROADSIDE SERVICE!!!... The tow driver shows up after 10 minutes and already had a car being towed on his truck but he said he would just try to give my car a little gas just in case. I argued the fact saying, "look at the gauge and miles left display. I have fuel! He said, "let me try this", and he poured in about a quart of gas. He then told me to turn the key to ACC, wait 15 seconds and try to start. MY SANTE FE STARTED RIGHT UP!!!
So here's the issue and I hope no one here has this problem but again, if you know something about this please contact me because even my dealer doesn't have a clue.
My car went back to the dealer and because I put in a full tank of gas before driving there they could not do anything other than a diagnostic which came up as "working". After picking up my Sante Fe from the dealer I was told to come back when the gauge reads 1/4 tank again so they could try to duplicate the situation.
This is most disconcerting and I feel like I'm driving a timebomb waiting for it to go off. I just don't know if I'll get stuck somewhere and when this will happen again.
Thank you all.

On Sunday, November 3rd, 10 members of the men's lacrosse team took part in a Habitat for Humanity build in Chapel Hill. The group's main project for the day was building and putting up the walls for the house.
"Our time serving at Habitat for Humanity was a great experience that brought us closer together as teammates as we helped build a house and a future for a deserving member of the community" said junior Frankie Kelly, who helped organize the group.
The student-athletes worked alongside volunteers from Habitat for Humanity of Orange County. This is just one of many the outreach projects the team has undertaken as part of a larger effort to get out and give support to the local community.

Brooklyn Decker & James Van Der Beek: LA Screenings Lot Party Pals
Taking care of some promotional duties, Brooklyn Decker and James Van Der Beek showed up at the Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution's 2013 LA Screenings Lot Party in Los Angeles last night (May 23).
The "Battleship" babe and the "Varsity Blues" hunk were joined by Majandra Delfino as they milled around the Twentieht Century Fox Studio Lot and mingled with fellow guests.
In a recent interview, James talked about moving past his "Dawson's Creek" stereotype and getting on with his career courtesy of his recently-cancelled show "Don't Trust the B- in Apartment 23."
"It absolutely, I think, took me out of one mold that I'd been in for a while. It's tough to compete with something that was the cultural phenomenon that 'Dawson's Creek' was. It ran for so long. That's a lot of hours playing one character in front of people. So it's natural that they associate you with that. And also the nature of television, you're in their living room, so it's even more immediate. I wish I could say it was a calculated, intelligent decision, but it really was just something that I thought was funny, that I hadn't really done before, and there were just great people involved. In terms of what it did for me? It was an opportunity to do comedy on a regular basis. Which I really enjoyed. I feel like walking down the street, I do get called 'Dawson' a lot less these days. So maybe that's a measure of what the show did. Now when people mock me on the street, they use my real name."

Vaginitis vs UTI?
I took my GSD mix Harlow to the vet today. I was worried she had a UTI. she's been peeing in segments every time we're outside and now inside she started leaving trails of pee without even knowing it last night, and I mean all the way around the coffee table. She's been doing good with house training she paws at the door when she has to go out but sometimes she'll just pee without any warning whatsoever, without even sniffing just while standing. She also has to go outside to pee almost every half hour, it's been driving me crazy as it's getting so cold outside. Of course when we were at the vet she would not give up a urine sample but she did apparently have a pretty bad case of vaginitis. With the symptoms I described they felt confident in prescribing her an antibiotic and I've already noticed the swelling going down in her lady parts since she started them when we got home. Do you think this was right? I don't want to overmedicate her.

Big Time Ignition problem!!!!!
I have a 93 f150 for a daily driver. Right now it is not a driver at all. I am at my grandparents ranch working to pay for my 70 chevy. As of now I am stranded here. My little brother stripped my ignition. So badly that it will not turn at all. So i bought a new ignition, problem is that you have to turn to "run" position to get it to pull out. So i look at the new ignition, and decide to just drill out the locking part on the old igniton. Looks to me that this is the only place that is being held. Well i was wrong. THe shaft that I assume actually turns over (back of ignition switch) it is obviously being held up at the back, in the mean time I mad a GIGANTIC mess of my ignition housing. I either need to know how to get a ingition out without a key, or how to force this one to turn to run so i can pop it out. If neither of these is possible how do I hot wire a truck of this year. I have got to get a way home. I was considering just buying a butterfly bit that fit the hole and see if i cant just drill the whole stupid thing out. What options do i have and i need a QUICK fix. Thanks guys I am in a world of hurt here.....
Ignition Switch
[color=lightblue]Doc here
Here is one option, get a body hammer (the one with a sliding weight on it and a threaded sheetmetal screw at the front) and screw the body hammer all the way in the key slot, then give the hammer a good jerk backwards and the key cylinder SHOULD pop out. Just insert a slotted screw driver down the shaft where the cylinder came out and turn.
BE ADVISED: If you do this method, and a COP pulls up along side and sees it, be prepared to be pulled over for a Felony Car Stop... Since this is the preferred method of car thieves... So be sure you have ID and the Paperwork! I would replace at the very first opportunity!
I don't think there is any SAFE way to "Hotwire " That truck, as it is computer Controlled and relays on several things to operate when the IGN is on, So just jumping a wire to the coil probably won't get you running, and in fact might damage something else. So I would aviod that.
You CAN get everything to work By just taking a heavy Jumper from any 12 volt source (Hot, Battery, not switched) To anything on the IGN or Acc Side of the fuse box buss , Everything will come on like you turned the key on, except for the starter (which can be started at the solenoid with a screw driver) , and the column will still be locked...But this is risky....you could overtax the fuse buss and burn things up especially if you try to run it...I would not advise it.
Gee...How do I know this stuff?? And no, I've Never Ripped off a Car...
Try the Body hammer first!
I want to die like my grandfather did,
peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.[/color]
I'm with Doc, I own the same truck and had to do the same thing. I drilled mine out with a large drill bit. That spade bit won't work. It beats the hell out of you. You just have to break the lock loose so you can turn it then pull it out and replace.

Yard and Garden: Plants Affected by Frigid Temperatures
This winter temperatures have dropped to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. What effects will the cold temperatures have on my fruit trees?
The cold temperatures may have damaged peach and sweet cherry trees. Peach trees are not reliably cold hardy in much of Iowa. Temperatures below -18 F will destroy the flower buds on peach trees. Temperatures of -25 F or below may damage or destroy the peach trees themselves. The flower buds on sweet cherries are slightly more cold-hardy than those on peaches. The flower buds on some sweet cherry cultivars can survive temperatures of -20 F. Iowa gardeners should expect poor crops on peaches and sweet cherries this summer. It also is possible that the trees themselves may have been damaged. Damage may vary from dieback of twigs and branches to complete death. On a brighter note, the cold winter temperatures should not have damaged apples, pears and sour (tart) cherries.
What effects will this winter's cold temperatures have on my trees and shrubs?
Trees and shrubs that are native to Iowa (or similar regions of the world) are well adapted to our climate and should have suffered little or no damage. However, marginally hardy plants, such as Japanese maple (Acer palmatum), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) and Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata) may have sustained damage. (The maximum cold hardiness of most Japanese maple, flowering dogwood and Japanese flowering cherry cultivars is -20 F.) Damage may vary from the dieback of twigs and branches to complete death of the tree.
This winter's cold temperatures also may have destroyed the flower buds on flowering quince (Chaenomeles spp.) and some forsythia cultivars. Temperatures of -20 F or below likely destroyed the flower buds on flowering quince and 'Lynwood Gold' and 'Spring Glory' (two popular forsythia cultivars). As a result, these shrubs likely will produce few, if any, flowers in spring. Fortunately, the cold temperatures should not have any long term effects on the shrubs. The leaf buds on flowering quince and forsythia are hardier than their flower buds. The shrubs should leaf out normally in spring.
This winter's cold temperatures should have little impact on the flowering of forsythia cultivars 'Meadowlark' and 'Northern Sun.' The flower buds of 'Meadowlark and 'Northern Sun' can tolerate temperatures to -30 F.
Deer have eaten all the foliage on the bottom portions of several arborvitae. Will the bare areas green back up in spring?
This winter's prolonged period of snow cover has deprived deer of food on the ground. As a result, deer have been feeding on trees and shrubs in woodlands, windbreaks and home landscapes. Among evergreens, arborvitae and yews are most susceptible to browsing by deer in winter.
The extent of damage to the lower portions of the arborvitae will be determined by the presence or absence of buds (growing points). If buds are present, the lower branches will produce new growth in spring. The new growth should be apparent by early summer. The lower portions of the arborvitae will remain bare and likely never develop new growth if no buds are present.

Even as we cheer for her stamina, we shrink from her rapacity.
They held signs and posters with pictures of young children that stamina method supposedly saved.
"Animals with sloping backs have huge reserves of stamina, because it is a very economic gait," said Jean.
"You choose your brain surgeons for their stamina," he later told the Washington Post.
This stamina and spontaneity set the pattern for the five hectic days ahead.
The Harvard crew, although it had started out so beautifully, had not the stamina to endure the strain.
Prepare the stamina from this piece of wax by snipping the proper number.
Excesses of any kind are indulgences, and it is easy to fall into them if we have not built up our stamina to resist.
I stood him for two years altogether, and then I guess my stamina broke.
The review was evidence, at least, as to our number, stamina and equipment.
1670s, "rudiments or original elements of something," from Latin stamina "threads," plural of stamen (genitive staminis) "thread, warp" (see stamen). Sense of "power to resist or recover, strength, endurance" first recorded 1726 (originally plural), from earlier meaning "congenital vital capacities of a person or animal," also in part from Latin application to the threads spun by the Fates to determine the length and course of one's life, and partly from a figurative use of Latin stamen "the warp (of cloth)" on the notion of the warp as the "foundation" of a fabric.
"pollen-bearing organ of a flower," 1660s, from Modern Latin (1625, Spigelus), from Latin stamen "stamen" (Pliny), literally "thread of the warp" in the upright loom (related to stare "to stand"), from PIE *sta-men- (cf. Greek stemon "warp," also used by Hesychius for some part of a plant, Gothic stoma, Sanskrit sthaman "place," also "strength"), from root *sta- "to stand" (see stet).
Plural stamens or stamina (stā'mə-nə, stām'ə-)
The male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of a filament and a pollen-bearing anther at its tip. See more at anther, flower.
