Flying with kids? Welcome aboard!
Lots of families fly with Jetstar and we're always happy to help make things easier.
Get organised ahead of your flight by adding extras such as checked baggage, kids' meals and in-flight entertainment when you book.
Please note, there are some important details to keep in mind before you book your family trip with us.
Infants (under 2 years)
- At Jetstar we refer to children under 2 years old as infants.
- If you're travelling with your infant on your lap, there's an infant fee on all flights except New Zealand and Japan domestic flights and flights to and from Cook Islands.
- There's no carry-on baggage allowance for infants travelling on their parent's lap, but on all flights where you're travelling with an infant or small child, you can bring a pram, stroller, portable cot and highchair as checked baggage for free, and you also won't be charged the oversized item fee for any of these items.
- We don't carry infant food or formula on board, but we're happy for you to bring your own.
- You can purchase a seat for your infant and also bring a car seat on board for them to sit in. Car seats must meet strict requirements. You must contact us by phone to add a car seat to your booking as a limited number can be fitted on each flight. Please note, on domestic flights within New Zealand on Q300 aircraft, car seats can't be brought on board, but they can be checked in at no charge.
- Infants not occupying a seat don't have a carry-on baggage or checked-baggage allowance.
See: What do I need to know about travelling with my infant?
We have some important information for both expectant mums and those who've recently given birth. Please read through the details on our Pregnancy page before you book.
- Please note: If you're in the third trimester of your pregnancy you must carry documentation from your doctor stating it's safe for you to fly. View the documentation requirements on the Pregnancy and air travel page.

If you are travelling with infants or small children you can bring a pram, stroller, portable cot, and highchair as checked baggage, for free, regardless of fare and in addition to any checked-baggage allowance.
Family travel and seating
You can select and purchase seats for your family when you book through our website or telephone reservations. If you choose not to select your seats, they will be randomly assigned at check in, at no additional cost. We do our best to seat families together when we allocate seating but we can't guarantee this, so it's best to select your seats when you book.
- If you are bringing an approved car seat it must be fitted onto a window seat and can't be in an exit row. See: What do I need to know about bringing a car seat on board? You must also contact us if you're bringing a car seat.
- Parents nursing an infant on their lap, can't travel in an exit row

There's so many things that you have to get right for a renovation to be successful.
I love the pitchforks as art. Gorgeous! And the staircase looks so more open and lighter with the clunky bannister replaced with something fresher and quirky.
Change of subject: Aussies please note that Coles (on Friday the 13th) and Woolies (on Friday the 20th) will donate all profits from sales Australia-wide to the bushfire victims. So if you can, please save your supermarket shopping til then. It's been inspiring to see how generous Australians have been, raising more than $10million already.
And thank you to those of you from around the world who left lovely messages of support yesterday.

By Jordan Sargent:
Sometimes the New York Times profiles people that are genuine monsters of upper-class naiveté and privilege — like, say, the parents that have their kids flown to summer camp on private jets or The Ivy Plus Society. But sometimes the NYT does stories on well-meaning people whose lives end up looking really inane in print, like the non-married spouses who fret about the ridiculous names and phrases they call each other.
Here is writer Elizabeth Weil setting the stage for this scintillating trend story:
NOW that we've come to some consensus on same-sex marriage, let's move on to the next puzzle: what to call two people who act as if they are married but are not.
Here's the first thing: that isn't the next puzzle! There are so, so, soooo many more puzzles left to complete. The "what to call two people who act as if they are married but are not" puzzle is so far deep in the puzzle closet that no one is going to look for it for years. And when they find it, there will be three dead spiders in the box.
Here's our first subject:
"I went through a phase of just calling him Eric, even to people who didn't know who that was," said the master wordsmith Ann Kjellberg, 50, editor of the journal Little Star and the literary executor of the poet Joseph Brodsky. Eric Zerof spent 15 years as her live-in not-spouse and is the father of Ms. Kjellberg's child. "I kept thinking, 'This should not be this hard!' I was very unhappy about the situation. I could never find a word I liked."
It shouldn't be this hard because it isn't this hard. "Eric" is just fine. You could never find a word you liked because you're a master wordsmith that edits a journal. It's your curse.
Next, Weil elaborates on the dilemma:
Everyone agrees that partner sounds awful - too anodyne, empty, cold. Lover may be worse - too sexualized, graphic, one-dimensional. Boyfriend sounds too young. Significant other sounds too '80s. Special friend or just friend (both favored by the 65-and-over crowd) are just too ridiculous.
It's almost — almost — as is if this entire discussion is just too ridiculous, and that adults should just explain the situation with whoever they're talking to. Even though we like to think that we live inside Seinfeld, we don't. There are real problems out there, you guys!
Anne Tierney, 32, a bodyworker in West Palm Beach, Fla., went for "fusband," which, she explains, is a catchall for "fake husband, future husband." (Ms. Tierney's fusband, Ozzy, calls Ms. Tierney "wifey.") Technically the two are engaged, but Ms. Tierney said: "The word fiancé makes me cringe. What am I, in France?"
Fusband!!!!!! You actually have to hand it to Tierney, "fusband" catches just about everything. Funny husband, facetious husband, frustrating husband, famous husband, fanciful husband, farting husband. Definitely farting husband. I love it.
Next suggestion?
Joan Linder, 42, an artist and associate professor of visual studies at the University at Buffalo, lives with the man she winkingly calls her baby daddy
Ahh, steamy. Wink wink.
"It's the last stage of connection to rebellion, punk rock, countercultural - all those pieces of my youth."
Being gay does not make the terminology of unmarriage any easier. "I usually go with boyfriend, which makes people ask how long we've been dating," said Brett Berk, 43, who has been not-married to his boyfriend, Tal McThenia, 45, for 23 years. "But partner is disgusting. So it's boyfriend - or antagonist."
Things really shouldn't be getting this serious. They shouldn't! It's just a word. It's okay.
Oh, hey, it's Katie Roiphe.
The culture critic Katie Roiphe, author of "In Praise of Messy Lives," agreed that our lame vocabulary reveals our unease. "We have only stiff or silly phrases - like significant other, partner or baby daddy," she said. "To me this signals a discomfort and a lack of acceptance."
Uh huh.
Ms. Roiphe, unmarried herself, prefers "the older, more comic phrases: consort and paramour."
Now, that's what I call comedy.
Still, Ms. Kjellberg, who eventually did marry for health insurance, remains puzzled by the lexicographic problem. "Not marrying really seems like a perfectly normal way of going about things," she said. "Do we really need to be stuck with such horrible terms?"
No, we don't. It's okay — here's a suggestion: fusband! I know it's weird, but it's just a word. It will all come out eventually. These poor people, without a single appropriate word to refer to another person. Also, these poor people, made to look like frivolous fools by the New York Timeswhen in reality they're perfectly harmless and are more or less aware of the foolishness of the situation. The paper of record! The Grey Lady! Hey, that's a good one...
By admin
I barely scanned that piece of idiocy in the Times. It wasn't even funny or entertaining. It was just ridiculous. There is nothing special about these people so in my view, they can use the names couples have been calling each other for decades: girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other, best friend, fiancée (you don't have to be French either)…
Sorry, comments are closed on this post.

It is the retina that allows one to see. The retina lines the back of the eye and consists of extremely thin layers of light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors, nerve cells, and support cells responsible for nourishing the photoreceptors. Together, the cells of the retina translate light, shadow, movement, and contrast into recognizable images. The photoreceptors of the retina, known as rods and cones, capture light, which is instantly changed to electrical impulses. These signals then travel from nerve cell to nerve cell, along the optic nerve, and ultimately to the brain, which converts them to understandable forms.
Different concentrations of rods and cones are found throughout the retina. The macula is a small but very important area of the retina located directly in line with the pupil. Because of its location and its high concentration of cones, it is responsible for the detail and sharpness of central vision.
The retina has a pivotal role in vision. When the functions of retinal cells are compromised, vision may be impaired in any of a number of ways.

Sustainable Biofuels: A Personal Odyssey
Lee R. Lynd, Paul E. and Joan H. Queneau Distinguished Professor in Environmental Engineering Design, Thayer School of Engineering
Friday, October 16, 2009, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
In this lecture, given on the occasion of celebrating Professor Lynd's appointment to the Paul E. and Joan H. Queneau Distinguished Professor in Environmental Engineering Design, Dr. Lynd will present the view that the transition to a world supported by sustainable resources is the defining challenge of our time. He will then provide a perspective on his personal journey through three decades of activity in the sustainable biofuels field encompassing science and technology, entrepreneurship, and analysis addressing the role of biofuels in a sustainable world. In closing, educational needs and opportunities associated with the sustainable resource transition will be considered.
About the Speaker
Lee R. Lynd is a Professor of Engineering and an Adjunct Professor of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College, where he has been on the faculty since 1987, and is Professor Extraordinary of Microbiology at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Dr. Lynd holds a B.S. degree in biology from Bates College, an M.S. degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, and masters and doctoral degrees in engineering from Dartmouth College. Professor Lynd leads an interdisciplinary research group devoted to being of service to society by enabling and envisioning a transition to a world supported by sustainable resources, and in particular the role of plant biomass in this context. These objectives are approached from the intellectual vantage points of microbiology/molecular biology, process engineering, and analysis of resource and environmental efficacy, with the largest effort devoted to laboratory research-driven advances in the biological conversion of plant biomass to fuels and commodity chemicals. Biomass conversion and utilization has been the central focus of Dr. Lynd's research activity throughout his career. Dr. Lynd has contributed over 100 peer-reviewed articles to the literature as well as several comprehensive reviews and 5 patents. A consultant to industry and government, he frequently gives invited presentations on both technical and strategic aspects of biomass utilization. Awards and professional activities include: recipient of the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award; biofuels industry representative on a committee advisory to the Executive Office of President Clinton on Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Personal Vehicles; Associate Editor of Biotechnology and Bioengineering; Manager of the Link Foundation Energy Fellowship Program; and two-time recipient of the Charles A. Lindbergh Award in recognition of his efforts to promote a balance between environmental preservation and technological advancement. He is currently a co-leader of a multi-institution project entitled The Role of Biomass in America's Energy Future.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!
I've got my little 5-gal Weber, bulk, lump charcoal (not Kingsford), and my propane torch to get it all started. My wife brought home a frozen fish, which was cleaned, gutted, and de-boned. . . amost as if the fish were spatchcocked.
I'm thinking of doing this on the grill, but am curious about two things: A) can I start it straight from frozen or do I need to thaw it; and B) sauces or spices. It's a milkfish, so would a sprinkle of something in particular be good (I hesitate to use Old Bay because it's the "Old Standby".

For your computer, decide on a particular server line and then:
For the PC (Windows 7):
1. Navigate to the menu item Start > Control Panel > Date and Time.
2. Click the Internet Time tab at the top of the window.
3. Click Change Settings...
4. Check the box next to Synchronize with an Internet time server.
5. Enter either t1.timegps.net or t2.timegps.net or t3.timegps.net as the server name.
6. Click Update Now.
7. When you get the 'successfully' message, click OK in the two open windows.
For the Macintosh (OS X):
1. Open System Preferences. . . in the Apple menu.
2. In the 'System' bar, click Date & Time.
3. In the window that opens, click the Date & Time tab.
4. Check the box next to Set date & time automatically.
5. Enter either t1.timegps.net or t2.timegps.net or t3.timegps.net as the servername.
6. Press the Return key.
7. Close the window.
Be sure that the IP address of your client host computer is valid. The Internet has seven ranges of contiguous IP addresses that are not recognized by Internet routers or are not available for assignment:
Do not use an address in any of the above ranges to identify your computer to the outside world. A received IP address belonging to one of these ranges will be discarded by the servers. [If you connect to the Internet through a gateway in an organization's network, that is usually OK; in most cases local addresses will be temporarily converted to a valid number before being transmitted.]
Please note: The time derived from GPS by the servers is within a few nanoseconds of UTC; however, because of unpredictable transmission delays within the Internet, the time received from the servers will be accurate typically to a few milliseconds of UTC.

HOUSTON - Dramatic testimony Friday in the case of a murdered 12-year-old boy. That child's stepfather took the stand, testifying against the woman who is accused of killing the child.
Jonathan Foster's stepfather, David Davis, went back on the stand Friday morning to admit he told police his stepson was a "crybaby" who he was tired of "babysitting," three days after the boy disappeared.
The defense claims Davis had motive to harm the boy because he felt Jonathan had come between him and his wife.
But prosecutors say a video recording and cell phone records that show Davis was at a bar during the time the boy was kidnapped and killed.
A neighbor, Isador Carrillo, testified earlier that day, he saw Davis pull up to the apartment where the boy was home alone. Carrillo said Davis drove off alone about 20 minutes later.
But an hour later, another vehicle, Mona Nelson's gray pickup truck, pulled into the driveway. Carrillo later picked Nelson out of a lineup as the driver. He said she stayed about half an hour before driving off.
Nelson covered her nose and mouth as prosecutors rolled out pieces of burned carpet in court that they contend connect her to the murder. It matches carpet found on the boy's body. The carpet scraps were found in a trash can at Nelson's home, along with a item belonging to the boy that had Nelson's blood on it.
Prosecutors contend Nelson kidnapped and killed the boy, then burned his body before dumping it in a ditch about five miles away.
Sergeant Roger Chapel testified he questioned Nelson about how the carpet ended up in her trash. Nelson's attorney's fought hard to keep her answers from being allowed into evidence, but they were overruled by the judge.
"Once her confession comes in, it's no longer circumstantial evidence. Once her confession comes in she's going to be convicted based on her own words, her own testimony, her own admission," said Brian Wice, Local 2 Legal Analyst.
Testimony resumes Monday morning at 10am. Prosecutors are expected to present a videotape they're calling a key piece of evidence in their case against Nelson.

Oscar de la Renta and The Outnet Team Up for Accessibly-Priced Line (Hoorah!)
Own an Oscar de la Renta without paying Oscar de la Renta prices, thanks to the fashion house's new collaboration with The Outnet!
-Lucia Peters
Wish you could own an Oscar de la Renta dress without going totally broke buying it? Well, now's your chance: According to Vogue UK, the high-end design house has teamed up with online discount designer fashion outlet The Outnet to create an exclusive collection intended to be more affordably-priced than the label's mainline. Hallelujah!…
…Well, sort of. By "more affordably-priced," we mean that items will retail for anywhere between $325 to $1,295. Of course, given that your average Oscar de la Renta dress retails for $2,000 at minimum (and often more, as is the case with this $8,990 gingham gown from the spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection). Still, though, $325 for an Oscar de la Renta ain't too bad, all things considered.
Some details: The line will use the same patterns, fabrics, and factory as Oscar's mainline, and will feature not only dresses (which, of course, are Oscar's bread and butter), but also shorts, pencil skirts, high-waisted trousers, and more. The most expensive piece will be a floor-length silk trapeze gown in a gorgeous coral color.
Read 'Beautiful Creatures,' Beautiful Style: Three Alice Englert Lookalike Ensembles
Alex Bolen, Oscar's CEO, said about the line, "Currently, the brand's outlet model is driven by surplus merchandise, and this marks the first time product has been actively developed for this channel of trade. We have things atound here that are underutilized—40 years of patterns, fabrics, and artwork that a lot of people spent time on. We thought, perhaps we can put something together in a way that is new, that doesn't require as much development time and in an exclusive way."
Added The Outnet's managing director, Stephanie Phair, "We know that our customer loves Oscar, but we also feel that this is an amazing opportunity to tap into The Outnet's audience with a new audience that Oscar as a brand might not have reached yet. This is tapping into a potential customer that will become an Oscar de la Renta customer."
The Outnet's exclusive Oscar de la Renta collection is due to launch on February 24.
Tell us: Will you be shopping The Outnet's Oscar collection?

40 A leper* came to him begging him, and kneeling* he said to him, If you choose, you can make me clean. 41Moved with pity,* Jesus* stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I do choose. Be made clean! 42Immediately the leprosy* left him, and he was made clean. 43After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, 44saying to him, See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them. 45But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the word, so that Jesus* could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

Taylor Made: The Enduring Glamour of Elizabeth Taylor
Movie producer Harvey Weinstein credits Terry Allen Kramer as one of "smartest people in the theater business." In addition to producing Priscilla, Kramer has produced some of Broadway's most glittering productions, like Sugar Babies, Moving Out and The Addams Family.
Tony award winning set designer Brian Thomson has designed sets for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The King and I among many others. He also designed sets for Kylie Minogue's Intimate and Live concert tour, Billy Budd (for the English National Opera) and Sweeney Todd (for Chicago's Lyric Opera and the Royal Opera House).
Left: The bus that gives the show its name, with a human costar on stage in the new production.
Thomson: "Mitzi (left) looks so good wearing pairs of our national icons—rubber thongs (or flip flops as you Americans call them)."
Kramer: "I wanted to put Bernadette (middle) in more interesting costumes than the ones that I originally saw in rehearsals. I had told the costume designers she was dressed too unattractively, and that she would look much better in something pretty and feminine. They listened, and changed the dress to this fantastic blue and white one."

DETROIT - Members of Lutheran churches across Detroit are planning to travel through the rally against the appointment of an Emergency Financial Manager for the city on Sunday.
"Nobody needs to do a lot of homework to identify the issues we face in Detroit," said Kevin Pickett, a life-long Detroit resident and president of Immanuel Lutheran Church. "We see it on our blocks, we watch it on the news, we read it in the paper. It is not acceptable what has happened to us and we must stay together through these hard times."

"We already have filled a couple of buses with our members," said Rev. Michael Johnson, pastor of Salem Memorial Lutheran Church. "We are dropping the names on our church marquees and we are all bearing the title of Detroiters and Children of God. It is important on Palm Sunday, as we remember the suffering of Christ, we remember the suffering of our community and assure people God is still here in the city of Detroit."
The announcement comes on the same day Rev. Jesse Jackson was in Detroit calling for residents to hold a nonviolent protest against the appointment of Kevyn Orr as the city's Emergency Financial Manager.
Jackson was joined by Congressman John Conyers and Detroit Councilwoman JoAnn Watson.
They said they are planning to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Detroit's EFM law, which takes effect Thursday, early next week.
Jackson said, "Detroit cannot be reduced to a rummage sale."

Music, dance numbers gave telecast a 1960s feel
Updated 1:11 am, Monday, February 25, 2013
Host Seth MacFarlane began the Academy Awards with a joke that San Antonio viewers had to appreciate: "Welcome to the Oscars! The quest to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh begins now."
A quick pan to Jones' face showed him doing just that.
That was an early high point of the evening, as was the bit that had MacFarlane hitting on Sally Field backstage while dressed as "The Flying Nun."
Surprisingly, though, it wasn't fun and games that made MacFarlane's hosting memorable Sunday. The man behind some of the rudest fare on TV ("Family Guy") and at the movies ("Ted") oversaw a classy, old-fashioned Oscar telecast full of music and dancing that could have been beamed in from the '60s — Capt. James T. Kirk included.
It was impressive to see such a commitment by the host and producers to their passions: MacFarlane's love for old-fashioned show biz and the executive producers' (Craig Zadan and Neil Meron) devotion to musicals. When they brought singers such as Shirley Bassey and Adele out to perform, they stopped the show and let them sing the whole song. This may have put off some who wanted the Oscars, not the Tonys, but it was heartening to see nonetheless.
In a tribute to recent musicals, Jennifer Hudson belted a crowd pleaser from "Dreamgirls"; a sizzling Catherine Zeta-Jones gave us "All That Jazz" from "Chicago"; and a medley of voices from "Les Misérables" brought heart and soul to the stage.
Entertainment Channel
MacFarlane also shined when he made like Sinatra and sang "The Way You Look Tonight" as Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron danced around him.
Of course, there were moments when MacFarlane reminded you where his money, and fame, came from. These included his raunchy song, "I Saw Your Boobs," which saluted actresses — Meryl Streep and Kate Hudson included — who have bared their chests in movies. There also was the wince-worthy line that followed up a description of Daniel Day-Lewis' deep portrayal of "Lincoln":
"The actor who really got into Abe Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth," MacFarlane quipped. "150 years later ... still too soon?"
It may not have been a perfect night. The broadcast went on too long — it was after 11 p.m. when the credits rolled while MacFarlane and Kristin Chenoweth sang "Here's to the Losers" — and seemed rushed at the end, though Jennifer Lawrence's stumble and the surprise best picture announcement by first lady Michelle Obama made the last half-hour noteworthy. The "Jaws" music that chased winners off the stage was tacky. And a good chunk of MacFarlane's opening monologue could be called obnoxiously Seth-centric.
Still, the dreamy magic of the evening eclipsed the flaws: a misty-eyed Barbra Streisand singing "The Way We Were" in memory of Marvin Hamlisch; all those marvelous song-and-dance numbers; and MacFarlane's entertaining turn as host, which harkened back to the Oscar days of Johnny Carson and Bob Hope.

Five people have been treated for dizziness, vomiting and nausea at an Orica site in Sydney's south-west.
Paramedics went to the Orica site in Villawood following a report that fumes could be smelt outside the site at 10.29am today.
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson confirmed five people had been treated for a range of symptoms, including dizziness, vomiting and nausea.
All five, who were Orica employees, declined hospital treatment, a company spokesperson said.
The warehouse is a depot and stores a number of chemicals.
An internal investigation has been launched and and the NSW Environment Protection Authority has been notified.
Orica later said it had temporarily suspended operations at its Villawood warehouse as it investigated the source of the odour.
It has also notified the EPA, WorkCover and emergency services.
The company confirmed that seven employees had been referred for precautionary medical tests.
"Orica is continuing to investigate potential sources of the odour including working with the EPA to investigate potential offsite sources," it said in a statement.
The incident comes as Environment Minister Robyn Parker said the Environment Protection Authority would meet Orica this week to address community concerns about its Port Botany facility.
The government is being urged to launch an investigation into whether land around the Port Botany plant is contaminated with mercury.
The meeting follows a report by a mercury remediation expert who claims Orica has never properly investigated off-site contamination from the former ChlorAlkali site.
Andrew Helps, who heads a mercury remediation company and is a member of the UN's global mercury partnership, says tests should be conducted on the air and soil around houses and apartments in a 1.25-kilometre radius.
The minister said that, while she takes the community's concerns seriously, contamination issues at the site were a long-term problem.
"There has been testing done in the past and there's been work done to remediate some of the local waterways," she said.
"But certainly the EPA will be working with Orica to see what new information is, what the community concerns are. That's the role of the EPA, to keep Orica and other industries to task in terms of making sure that the community is protected.
"If there is a need for further independent testing, the EPA will take that on board."
The minister would not comment on Orica's argument that the mercury contamination came from dental fillings and broken thermometers.
Greens MP Cate Faehrmann today called on Ms Parker to intervene and force Orica to pay for independent testing, saying its defence was "ridiculous".
"Orica is the polluter, not the regulator," she said in a statement.
"The minister has to step in and take control and reassure the community their concerns are being taken seriously."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Maybe Jim Cramer is right and Netflix ( NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings isn't that bad after all.Long considered the master of smoke and mirrors by NFLX bears, Hastings has fantastic competition as Tesla Motors ( TSLA) CEO Elon Musk appears to have entered the dog and pony show. I'll stop just short of calling Tesla's new the best of the both worlds' lease/finance option for its Model S a scam. It's not. Upside exists. For instance, you have greater flexibility at the end of your term. In this regard, Tesla's program does blend the best aspects of leasing and buying a vehicle. This is marketing, and bad marketing at that. Musk should give less undivided attention to his own thoughts. They're running away with themselves. I'm not even anti-EV. Or anti-Tesla. In fact, the Model S is a thing of beauty. I have written quite a few bullish articles on Tesla the company and TSLA the stock. It's a premium brand that targets high-end affluent markets. In fact, since I wrote this bull case for TSLA last May, the stock is up 25% -- and that takes into account today's 7% haircut!
Anyway, Tesla doesn't need to provide an affordable, mass appeal product. In fact, it's probably better off doing just the opposite. Musk's ploy here puzzles me. Unless Model S sales are slumping -- and I don't think they are -- why bother with this? Does the billionaire Musk simply want to portray a kinder, gentler self and an egalitarian Tesla? Is he merely teeing up a more modest image ahead of plans to enter a broader market against Nissan's ( NSANY) Leaf, General Motor's ( GM) Chevy Volt, other lower-priced EVs and other cars marketed, at least in part, on the basis of superior fuel economy? If he is, he's (A) being disingenuous and (B) addressing a problem that doesn't exist. Play around with Tesla's True Cost of Ownership calculator. You need to be typecast worse than Jennifer Aniston to play the role of a person who would benefit much, if at all, financially by bleasing a Model S. Tesla's assumptions are unrealistic for most of the population. Ultimately, they only matter to its core pool of prospective buyers who don't have to ask what the car costs and likely have already reserved or are driving one. It's not that these cats don't like saving a few bucks (that's often why somebody is relatively well-off in the first place), but, if you're Musk, why ask? What's the point? There's got to be an ulterior motive.

("Chump" is self-referential…) Kids are crazy for the blogging these days. What started as an effort to communicate items of interest to developers in a more timely fashion seems to have become something more. At least, based on the feedback I get, people seem to want it to be something more. They also seem to want discounted erectile dysfunction drugs at rock-bottom prices, and pictures of adventuresome poly-sexuals. But hey, one need at a time.
So, I'm going to start adding posts on development methodology, books and articles I've found helpful (not necessarily all code-related, but within the bounds of an corporate blog), and developer-related goings-on at Adobe. That, and pictures of my kid; can't change everything at once.
No one's posted any feedback about my quick start development guide, which could mean any number of things. I choose to hope it means you're all well into your own development processes, and don't have time to waste posting about it on some fool's blog. So, how about it; what books, articles, or general ideas help you get your Geek on? I'll start: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/

EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm
EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm Reviews
Splendid Spheres of Refreshing Comfort!READ CAREFULLY: I have secret but POWERFUL information which will help you in choosing beauty products wisely. Several years ago, my wonderful mother had nine heart attacks in one night and another the following day. After that came emergency quadruple-bypass surgery, which she survived very well. The big problem? She was in a rehab center, and the aids let an open wound where they removed pa...read morert of an artery uncovered and it became infected. She had to have extensive plastic surgery. I recall driving her to the plastic surgeon's office often for check-ups after he repaired the wound. I wouldn't read the magazines--I would wander around the deluxe facility, staring at a copious number of shelves all stacked with sparkling, beckoning tubs and bottles of creams meant to help skin heal and look good. One day I asked the surgeon which products he favored over the others for complexion and body care in general. He candidly whispered to me, "Forget about buying anything here. I sell them because people specifically ask for them. If you want to treat your skin well, turn to Shea and Cocoa Butters." I'll never forget those words . . . Shea and Cocoa Butters! Shea Butter is just one ingredient in the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Lip Balms found in drugstores everywhere. Other ingredients--depending on which tempting version you choose--include Vitamin E, pure Beeswax, Coconut Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil to sooth, smooth, and heal. I love the container. The flat end enables it to stay put on the nightstand next to our bed (also known as an "apothecary shelf"), but it's simply fun to play with (consider it a small lip balm/stress-relieving ball). There is never an aggravating tacky feel--it smooths on with extreme ease. I also love the different varieties. I first tried "Honeysuckle Honeydew," "Sweet Mint," and "Pomegranate Raspberry." My husband bought me "Summer Fruit," and I accidentally(!) happened to see a charming duo in "Easter/Spring" which will be appearing in my Easter basket. The preparation is not heavy enough for severely dry lips--I layer Blistex, Carmex, and Chapstick when my lips are truly chapped and split from cold weather or dry heat. But it works well enough to keep your pout kissably soft. The scents are absolutely delightful; I can't get enough! — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

So far so goodI've been intrigued with these for sometime and recently made the purchase. I like that it's a light flavor that doesn't taste too mediciney. It does make my lips soft and I like how it's easy to apply on my lips. I wish it was a little bit creamier like lypsyl, but the package is still new, so maybe. — 6 years, 5 months agovolta | 566 reviews

EOS ORGANIC LIP BALM - SMOOTH SPHEREI own every flavor of the EOS lip balms, and the honeydew one is one of my favorites in terms of scent. I absolutely love the packaging and the shape of the lip balm. The ball lets you swipe the product over both lips at the same time. What would make the packaging even more convenient is if they kept the same shape but made it into a flip top so that you don't have to take that extra step to unsc...read morerew/screw the top and worry about dropping it. As much as I love the sheer novelty of EOS lip balms, it really doesn't do a great job in moisturizing very dry lips. I find myself having to reapply a lot. But I keep using these things just because they're so darn cute and smell so darn good. I really hope the company will consider making improvements. First of all, Honeysuckle Honeydew is my favorite flavor of the three eos smooth spheres I own (I also have the Sweet Mint and Strawberry Sorbet). I can see why people would say it feels a little waxy, but what I don't understand is what they would think a lip balm would feel like if it wasn't waxy... this feels the same on my lips as any other lip balm, and it feels great!!! This isn't extremely mousturizing, I use plain boring chapstick for that. ;) But when my lips aren't in need of extreme mousture, these eos smooth spheres are great and smell delicious! Plus, what cute packaging. That's my favorite part. :) I reccomend this! Definitely! It's not a lip healer, but does soften my lips. Perfect for just wearing when you don't want to wear lip gloss/lipstick. This taste and smells so delicious! The container itself is super cute and very unqiue. I will definitely be purchasing this again. I thought this was a cute product and brought it even though it wasn't on sale at CVS. I love the scent of honeydew and it has a pleasant sweet taste. But I don't find this lip balm moisturizing at all - and it's extremely waxy so it's no good under lipsticks. — 5 years, 4 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

The Wall Street Journal's Solar Orphan
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
In a recent editorial titled, "The Solar Orphan: Solyndra suddenly has no political parents," the Wall Street Journal quipped, "Watching the denials of paternity yesterday in Congress, you'd think that failed solar company Solyndra was a political orphan instead of a former Administration darling." But the Journal might want to avoid leveling paternity charges.
In March 2010, the Journal ranked Solyndra #5 of the Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies in a survey designed to gauge "the odds of success for U.S.-based companies valued at less than $1 billion." In a separate survey seeking "to identify those green companies that have the capital, executive experience and investor know-how to succeed in an increasingly crowded field," the Journal ranked Solyndra the Top Clean-Tech company in the country.
A year and a half later, Solyndra has gone bankrupt due to changing market conditions and stiff competition, and the GOP is using that fact to attack clean energy investments. Now the Journal is suggesting that the Department of Energy, by betting on a company that the Journal itself called the #1 clean tech company in the U.S., gave Solyndra a loan guarantee because it did "not understand" the solar industry and engaged in "political favoritism":
The problem with politically directed investment isn't merely that bureaucrats are betting with someone else's money on industries they may not understand. Such investment also invites political favoritism for the powerful few at the expense of millions of middle-class taxpayers. Americans need to know the full story of who made or influenced the decision to give Solyndra its loan guarantee, and if political pressure was brought to bear.

Cooking is the leading cause of all fires in Ohio and the United States, and Thanksgiving Day can increase the likelihood of such a fire. The state fire marshal wants to remind Ohioans about the dangers of cooking fires this holiday season.
"The biggest problem is unattended fires. If no one is watching, things can get out of control fast," said State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers. "Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling or boiling food. And if you are simmering, roasting or baking, check the food regularly, use a timer and never leave the house while a heating source is on."
Marshal Flowers offers the following tips to reduce the 65% of holiday fires that occur from cooking:
-Have a safety zone. Keep children and pets 3 feet away from the stove and oven.
-Never hold a child or pet while cooking.
-Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking.
-Keep potholders, oven mitts, towels and anything flammable away from your stovetop.
-Clean food and grease from burners and the stove top.
-If you must use a turkey fryer, keep it outside, away from buildings and other structures, such as garages, carports and decks. Never leave the turkey fryer unattended. The turkey should be thawed prior to frying. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
-Keep an ABC multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water on a grease fire. Water and grease are a dangerous combination because water can cause hot grease to splatter.
-If you are cooking and a fire starts, turn off the heat source, put a lid on it, and get out!
In addition, Flowers encourages Ohioans to have a working smoke alarm installed on every level of the home and in each bedroom or sleeping area.
Each member of the household should know the home fire escape plan and practice it twice a year. Guests should be aware of the escape plan and the location of any fire extinguishers in case there is an emergency.

It is not a do it yourself project. It is no exception to the rule.
Waterproofing your basement helps keep your house safe, dry and safeguards your investment (your house) and can help save you lots of money later on because you won't have to be worried about the headaches that people must be concerned about with a basement that isn't waterproofed. Basements are essentially built into a sizable hole that's been dug from the ground. A flooded basement is never enjoyable to encounter and may wind up ruining whatever is in the basement. Also a wet basement can result in an insect issue. That way you may rest assured your basement is going to be waterproofed to perfection. Though your basement may not be much to check at this time, you are going to want to wind up with quality living space once the project is finished. Bearing in mind that waterproofing the basement needs to be taken seriously, it's wise that you seek the services of the help of an expert.
With all the planning and latest styles and designs, people seem to forget one of the most basic ways of taking care of the home, and that is through basement waterproofing in Pittsburg KS. Not many people may think of the basement as one of the most important parts of the house, but it still should not be taken for granted.
Often times, a basement is used as additional storage space in which to put things that are not often used. Much like the attic, the things that are stored away in the basement and the basement itself are forgotten most of the time. It gets little to no maintenance at all, and there are no activities that take place here as it is merely a storage space. Unfortunately, it is because of the fact that the basement is often taken out of mind or even taken for granted that a lot of damages happen here.
The basement is defined as the part of a building or a structure that is below ground level. As many people would imagine, it is not the most habitable space in the house. The fact that it is below ground level eliminates the possibility of windows and also restricts that flow of air that passes through the space. Additionally, even the temperature and humidity are less than desirable. Although there are those that put living spaces into the basement, a lot of effort and money will be needed to make sure that the space is habitable and as comfortable as possible.
Although some may consider the positive aspect of a basement as the fact that it is an extension of the house that is underground and therefore does not actually need additional lot space, it is also this characteristic that makes a basement hard to maintain. Wet basements Pittsburg KS often have to go through a process of mold removal, even pest extermination, as well as making sure that there are no leaks or cracks that could let potentially damaging or harmful material in.
Basement waterproofing is one method of making sure that the basement retains its integrity and durability. After all, when water comes in, it could potentially damage any and all items that are in the basement. The harder issue is that of letting this unwanted moisture out as it is a difficult task to do so given the location of the basement. This is the reason why many people in Pittsburg KS choose to avoid the problem rather than to worry about how to fix it, and that is through basement waterproofing.

US stocks rose on Thursday and the S&P 500 ended at a fresh five-year high as stronger-than-expected exports from China spurred optimism about global growth prospects.
Buying accelerated late in the day after the S&P 500 broke through technical resistance at 1,466.47, which was the market's closing level last Friday and the highest level since December 2007.
"Historically, January is a positive month for the market and you're seeing that play out," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial in Westport, Connecticut.
Financial and energy stocks were the day's top gainers. The financial sector index rose 1.4 per cent and the energy sector was up 1 per cent.
Analysts cited economic data out of China as the day's catalyst, which showed the country's export growth rebounded sharply to a seven-month high in December, a strong finish to the year after seven straight quarters of slowdown.
"It is being interpreted positively that they've stopped the downturn (in growth)," said Kurt Brunner, portfolio manager at Swarthmore Group in Philadelphia.
"If they continue to produce good growth, that's going to be supportive of our global manufacturers."
Wall Street's fear gauge, the CBOE Volatility Index suggested markets were relatively calm. The VIX was down 2.3 per cent at 13.49.
At Thursday's close, the S&P sits about 6 per cent below its all-time closing high of 1,565.15 hit in October 2007.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 80.71 points, or 0.60 per cent, to 13,471.22. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 11.10 points, or 0.76 per cent, to 1,472.12. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 15.95 points, or 0.51 per cent, to 3,121.76.
Thursday's session had earlier included a dip that traders said was triggered by a trade in the options market that prompted a large amount of S&P futures to hit the market at the same time. That sent the S&P 500 index down rapidly but those losses were reversed through the afternoon.
Financials benefited from events this week that added clarity to mortgage rules and banks' potential exposure to the housing market.
The government's consumer finance watchdog announced mortgage rules on Thursday that will force banks to use new criteria to determine whether a borrower can repay a home loan.
Earlier this week, several big mortgage lenders reached a deal with regulators to end a review of foreclosures mandated by the government.
"It's a resolution. It's not hanging over their heads," said Brunner.
Bank of America gained 3.1 per cent to $US11.78, while Morgan Stanley was up 3.7 per cent at $US20.34, one day after sources said the bank plans to cut jobs.
Shares of upscale jeweler Tiffany dropped 4.5 per cent to $US60.40 after it said sales were flat during the holidays.
Herbalife stepped up its defense against activist investor Bill Ackman, stressing it was a legitimate company with a mission to improve nutrition and help public health. The stock ended down 1.8 per cent at $US39.24 after a volatile day.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a lower open, taking their cue Wednesday from losses across the globe. European shares were trading to the downside while Asian shares finished in the red. Japan's Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.6% after government minister Akira Amari aired concerns about recent yen weakness.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes the consumer price index at 8:30 a.m. EST and industrial production at 9:15 a.m.
U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed mixed as investors braced for bank earnings and processed a slew of economic reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 28 points, or 0.2%, to 13,535. The S&P 500 gained 2 points, or 0.1%, to 1,472. The Nasdaq slipped 7 points, or 0.2%, to 3,111 as Apple ( AAPL) shares slid 3.2% to trade below $500.
JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) is expected by analysts Wednesday to post fourth-quarter profit of $1.16 a share on revenue of $24.42 billion. Goldman Sachs ( GS) is expected by Wall Street Wednesday to report fourth-quarter earnings of $3.78 a share on revenue of $7.91 billion.
Japan's two biggest airlines grounded all their Boeing ( BA) 787 aircraft for safety checks Wednesday after one was forced to make an emergency landing in the latest blow for the new jet.
General Motors ( GM) said Tuesday it expects only a modest increase in pretax profit this year as it rolls out multiple new cars and trucks worldwide.
Facebook ( FB) hosted its big press event on Tuesday and unveiled what it calls Graph Search. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Graph Search is a new way to search the billion people and more than 240 billion photos on Facebook, as well as the social network's more than a trillion connections.
Earnings are expected Wednesday from eBay ( EBAY), U.S. Bancorp ( USB) and Bank of New York ( BK).

9:40 - 10:30 am - Drinking water and wastewater pollution problems in Lima, Peru-Perú
A developing country, Perú is experiencing a very fast development in the areas of technology, industries, mining and tourism. This rapid development has been accompanied by a push from the government to regulate and control water pollution created by this rapid development since the infrastructure for managing this pollution is minimal. The primary objective of this presentation is to offer an overview of current water pollution problems observed in Perú, primarily in Lima, Perú. The presentation will be based on the author's experience during a one month visit to Perú that included teaching at the Pontifical Catholic University of Perú and environmental health research with local municipality officials.

Presented by:
Carolyn Sur, Campus Minister, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
10:40 - 11:50 am - (Hayes Auditorium, Hulman Hall) - Water: An essential component of all life.
Water is the most abundant substance in living systems, making up 70% or more of the weight of most organisms. All living organisms require water more than any other substance. Human beings, for instance, can survive weeks without food, but only about one week without water. The first living organisms on Earth arose in an aqueous environment, and the course of evolution has been shaped by the properties of the aqueous medium in which life began. Water molecules participate in many biochemical reactions and other fundamental processes necessary to sustain life. This presentation will look at the structure of water and several of its inherent properties that are the foundation for the importance of water to all living organisms. What properties of the simple water molecule allow it to function as a support to all living organisms?
Presented by:
Dave Grabowski, Associate Professor of Biology, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College

James Rodriguez is comforted by Brazilians Marcelo and David Luiz. Photo: AP
Playmaker James Rodriguez said referee Carlos Velasco Carballo did not help Colombia in a bruising 2-1 defeat to hosts Brazil but the tournament's leading scorer was proud of his team who reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time.
"We fulfilled all the dreams we had ... It's a shame we have to go," Rodriguez said in televised remarks
"I'm crying because we gave everything. Unfortunately, the referee didn't help much. Brazil is a good team but we gave everything so we are calm. We wanted to carry on, but we hold our heads high. Thank you Colombia."

Brazil, leading 2-0 after defender David Luiz's stunning 69th-minute free-kick, appeared to be cruising into the semi-finals.
But Colombia, who have charmed the neutrals with their attacking football and carefree attitude, came roaring back and scored from the penalty spot after Brazil keeper Julio Cesar brought down Carlos Bacca.
Rodriguez took the responsibility for the spot kick, netting his sixth goal of the World Cup but there will be no more at this tournament after Brazil clung on for victory.

Many observers felt Rodriguez was not given sufficient protection after he was fouled repeatedly, and questioned the Spanish referee's decision to brandish a yellow card, not a red, at Cesar for the foul.
Rodriguez, the poster boy of the World Cup who has eclipsed even home favourite Neymar with his scintillating soccer and positive attitude, said he was proud of his team.
"Thank you Colombia, because you always had faith," he said. "Unfortunately we stop here, but we wanted to carry on. We're sad but we also have to feel proud because we left our skin out there."
Brazil meet Germany in their semi-final on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) in Belo Horizonte.

Department: Sheriff
Release Date: Oct 13, 2013
Contact Information:
Larimer County Sheriff's Office
Sgt. Rafael Sanchez
At approximately 11:30 am today, Sunday, October 13, 2013, Larimer County Sheriff's Office Deputies assigned to the Estes Park area were dispatched to a disturbance in the 3500 block of Colard Lane in unincorporated Larimer County near Lyons, Colorado. A subject identified as an Hispanic male approximately 54 years of age was alleged to have discharged a firearm during the disturbance and has barricaded himself inside his home.
Due to the remote location, road closures and detours caused by the recent flood, Deputies from both Larimer County and Boulder County Sheriff's Offices and Troopers from the Colorado State Patrol haveresponded to the incident. I can confirm the Larimer County SWAT team is currently at the incident location. We are executing a search warrant in reference to the incident. SWAT has been deployed as a precaution to insure public safety. We don't anticipate necessarily any issues but want to err on the side of caution.
We are asking people to avoid the area due to its remoteness and difficulty in accessing the area. Emergency and tactical vehicles have priority at this time to access the incident location.
This is currently an active investigation and no further information is available at this time.

- US shares down as all eyes turn to fiscal cliff
- Euro shares burdened by US 'fiscal cliff'
- Gold fades amid US budget talks
- SPI futures down 21 points to 4625
- AUD trading at $US1.0384
- Cliff may be a fear, but debt ceiling is much scarier
Oil prices settled lower on Friday after US data showed a sharp rise in gasoline inventories and as investors worried that US budget negotiators may not reach a deal in time to avert a fiscal crisis that could erode oil demand.
Weekly data from the US Energy Information Administration showed US gasoline stocks rose by 3.8 million barrels last week, capping a five-week build of nearly 23 million barrels. Demand for the motor fuel is down 2.8 per cent from the same period of 2011. The weekly build in gasoline stocks was larger than analysts had expected, and EIA data also showed US crude stocks declined by less than expected last week.
The White House set a Friday afternoon meeting with congressional leaders to seek a budget deal to avert looming automatic tax hikes and spending cuts -- the so-called fiscal cliff -- that many fear could push the world's largest economy into recession.
"All eyes are on Washington," said Addison Armstrong, senior director for market research at Tradition Energy, in a research note.
US crude futures fell 7 cents to settle at $US90.80 a barrel. They were up 2.4 per cent on the week. Brent crude fell 18 cents to settle at $US110.62 a barrel.
US equity prices slid for a fifth day, on pessimism about whether a budget deal will be reached before year end.
Trading in crude futures was thin during a holiday season lull, with Brent volumes around 40 per cent below 30-day average levels, and US crude volumes down by around half.
Brent's $US109.83 session low tested support below the 200-day moving average at $US109.94.
U.S February crude dipped below a 100-day moving average level, after reaching the highest front-month price since October -- $US91.49 a barrel -- earlier in the session.
Broader trends
International benchmark Brent is still on track for a full-year gain of about 3 per cent, although US crude is on track for a 8 per cent fall in 2012.
Among the factors have kept average Brent prices near historic highs this year are potential threats to Middle East oil supplies from turmoil in the region and signs of rebounding Chinese and US economic growth.
Separate reports on Friday showed US home resales hitting a 2-1/2-year high in November and Midwest factory activity expanding in December.
The reports follow relatively upbeat US trends in fourth-quarter indicators for consumer spending, housing, employment and manufacturing.
US oil inventories
US crude oil inventories fell last week, but only by 586,000 barrels, in the week to Dec. 21, the Energy Information Administration said.
The crude stocks drop was less than the drop of 1.9 million barrels expected in a Reuters survey of analysts.
While crude stockpiles slipped, distillate stocks jumped 2.42 million barrels and gasoline inventories rose 3.78 million barrels.
US January heating oil fell 2.75 cents to settle at $US3.0448 per gallon, while RBOB gasoline futures fell 2.14 cents to $US2.799 a gallon.
Middle East tensions
Syria's opposition leader rejected an invitation from Russia for peace talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government to end the civil war.
The West's dispute with Iran over Tehran's nuclear program continues to simmer as Iran on Friday began six days of naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz, the region's vital oil shipping route.

Photography: Longwood Graduate Fellows
Early Tuesday January 8, the first year Longwood Graduates and chaperones, David and Lori, kicked off our long awaited trip to Brazil. After meeting at the airport in Miami, we flew, without a hitch, to Manaus, Amazones, Brazil.
After breezing through customs, we collected our luggage (luckily nothing was lost.) A wonderful Brazilian man named Alex was waiting for us. As he gave us a quick tour of Manaus, he told us about our agenda for the following day and delivered us to our hotel, the Go Inn. We reminded each other to use bottled water for teeth brushing, had a short meeting and were off to sleep.
It's fair to say that until I arrived in Manaus, I never knew humidity. It wasn't particularly hot, only 80 degrees, but the air stuck to us like dew on the morning lawn. Immediately we were awestruck by the impressive humidity and the friendly people.
The next morning, we tried various juices of the region…Acerola, described by one Fellow as "mystery citrus deliciousness," Maracuja (Passion Fruit) "tart and tropical" and Cupaucu with a "Limey Pear" flavor. We admired Manaus's varying architecture and walked around the famous, Teatro Amazones, where we were able to hear the Symphony rehearsing for the evening's concert. Before noon we visited many notable parks and public spaces that featured the influence of famed Brazilian landscape architect, Roberto Burle Marx.
That night we spent our first of three evenings on the Amazon Clipper, with our guides Hugo and Sardes. (Who have already helped us with a lot of tree and bird i.d.) As we set sail, the air was so humid it began condensing into raindrops but a few minutes later a rainbow appeared. We enjoyed our first dinner on the boat and then went for a night cruise around the Rio Negro in small canoes to scout kamens, night hawks and frogs. Along the way the stars came out. I mean hundreds and millions of twinkling, sparkling gems, so close together, one could hardly identify the constellations. There was so much to see that we couldn't look away. For the first time ever, we saw Orion's bow and all at once we witnessed a falling star. The true meaning of "infinite" started to glimmer for each of us. As a result, I've started to believe that diamonds are just the earth's attempt at mimicking the heavens.
Enjoy the photos—stay tuned for our adventures on day 3 and 4!

German Muslim Abu Bekr Rieger, the Chairman of European Muslims Union, said: "We would like to introduce Islam to more people to give the good news to them. The Qur'an attracts and amazes people. Our duty is to share this with others."
Abu Bekr expressed that Islam is an inseparable piece of Europe and explained: "Islam's speed of expansion through Europe surprises European politicians, religious scholars, researchers and the media. The main reason is that Islam's offering a strong social base and stable family structure as the religious and cultural values are devastated in European societies…"
European Abu Bekr Rieger converted to Islam when he was a law student and founded the Foundation of European Muslims Union to introduce Islam and defend it in several platforms. Abu Bekr explained how he became a Muslim as follows;
"I became a Muslim 20 years ago when I was a law student. I had no idea about Islam before then. I was living in a conservative place and my conversion to Islam created reactions in such a place and I received surprising responses. This made me comprehend that I need to expend energy in explaining myself. I need to behave more consciously. I felt the necessity to present the content of Islam in detail to my parents at first. I needed to speak with them many times. But, what convinced them finally is, my children and their sense of decency. During my conversion to Islam, no extraordinary thing happened. I converted to Islam as I find answers to my questions slowly one by one. I became a Muslim by involving all of my feelings. First of all my heart felt the need to become a Muslim. All of us should fulfill our responsibilities in social, cultural and in all other fields. Islam, as a whole, consists of the values that enlighten and shape our present time and also our future. I would like to express this."
