why the complaining?
Just use your goggle strap to hold them in place. They don't move then. I can slide a bud off my ear to hear by buddies on the lift then slide it back on before the ride. Never had an issue of them falling off while I ride in the park.

Kazuo Ishiguro is well known for his previous novels, The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go. After a decade of silence, there is a lot of excitement over his latest book The Buried Giant. The Buried Giant tells the tale of Axl and Beatrice, an elderly married couple living in Old England during King Arthur's rule. They are trying to find their long-lost son but a "mist" of forgetfulness has spread through the land meaning they struggle to remember where he has gone and even what he looks like.
The main themes to this novel obviously concern memory. In the backdrop to the novel is the fact that Old England is recovering from a brutal war between the Saxons and the Britons. There is also the question of how marital love is to be sustained; can we still love someone whilst remembering that shared past? Ishiguro's recurring and underlying question is whether it is better to forget and under what conditions can we have a peaceful self and society.
For those who have read Ishiguro's previous books, although The Buried Giant shares the recurring theme of memory and contains the trademark plethora of plot twists, the writing style feels markedly different. I found the novel slow and the characters did not interest me. Stylistically I found the book off-putting with the constant use of "yes Princess" and "yes husband". This book also has fantasy elements like ogres and pixies (perhaps 'characters' would be a better word) but it is not a traditional fantasy novel. I don't know why but it reminds me of a tasty soup that has been thinned down too much by water. You can sort of taste what it is meant to taste like but it is difficult to finish the bowl. I feel that this book could have been a lot better; this book also requires a lot more effort than his previous novels if you are to see the questions behind the themes. Most of the 'heavy work' regarding the themes takes part in the last 100 pages but getting to those last 100 pages felt to me like a chore. It certainly did not make me happy when I picked up the book. Overall, it isn't as enjoyable as his other novels.

Communicating with Customers
Effective communication is important not only with other people inside your organisation but with people from the outside as well. No matter what job you hold-manufacturing or marketing, finance or public relations-you may come in contact with customers. And the impression you make tells them a great deal about your organisation. "My first impression of a company is the receptionist," says career counselor John Jarvis. He explains that he often calls a company to obtain information on its products and services to help his students who might want to apply for positions there. "If the receptionist can't explain what the company does, she will always remain a receptionist. But someone who puts the company in a good light will go on and get promotions to more responsible positions."
This is exactly what happened to Barbara. She started as a receptionist, answering the phone at a small insurance company.
"Customers would call with a problem," she said. "I'd try to put myself in their place and be as pleasant as possible, even though some of them were not always very nice. But I knew they needed to talk with one of our insurance representatives, so I'd route them to the right person as quickly as I could." Eventually Barbara completed college and took on more responsibilities. She administered the company's benefits program and wrote its annual report. She was promoted to human resources manager. Today she interviews people seeking employment and conducts orientation programs for new employees. The orientation program enables new hires to learn about the company's benefits and other policies. Barbara also supervises a staff of three people. "Communication," she says, "has always been a major part of my job."
Barbara worked her way up through the organisation because she knew how to deal with customers in her first position as a receptionist. She realised that no company can stay in business unless it knows how to satisfy its customers and treat them properly. The general manager of a hotel once explained that customers get their first impression of his organisation when they telephone for reservations. "If the person on the other end of the telephone isn't courteous," he said, "the customer immediately thinks badly of our entire hotel."
The same thing might be said for many types of service jobs. The teller at a bank, the person standing behind the counter in a fast food restaurant, the cashier at a supermarket-all of them leave a lasting impression on customers. Indeed, they are often the only people who communicate directly with customers.
If you hold one of these positions, you're responsible for what the customer thinks of the company where you work. You also have an impact on whether the customer will return to your company to do business. Remember, you make an impression on customers with not only your words: Body language is also important. A ready smile, direct eye contact, and a firm handshake are communication skills that will win you high marks whenever you deal with customers.
Whether you're interviewing for a job, learning the ropes in a new position, training other employees, or speaking with customers, you need to be a good communicator. Developing confidence in your abilities as an oral communicator takes practice. If you don't prepare for a job interview, for example, you probably won't get hired. Asking the right questions is another essential skill, even if it means exposing your ignorance. It isn't easy, but it's often what you must do to be successful on a job.

Stick-out ears like Santi's can make life miserable and lead to "reduced quality of life & self-esteem, social avoidance and poor performance in school." Children and adults are often teased and while names like 'Dumbo, Big Ears, Yoda, Spock & Wing Nut' can be meant in jest, they can have a deeper psychological impact.
Once, corrective ear surgery (Otoplasty/ Pinnaplasty) was the only option, costing up to £5000 for the average UK paediatric case. General anaesthesia and time off school or work are usually needed, and while post-op pain can be managed*, complication rates e.g. scarring can be as high as 10%.*
Now there's an ingenious way to fix your baby's ear problems before they are aware of them, avoiding the emotional impact of bullying & teasing, and the costs & complications of surgery. EarBuddies™ splints reshape the soft cartilage of baby's ears, resulting in a permanent, surgery-free correction.
We think of it like fitting braces to a child's teeth, only more affordable and quicker. Newborn babies can get great results in just 2 weeks. If your baby is older, this can take longer. Santi was 5 months old when his mother fitted EarBuddies™. 4 weeks later, he can grow up comfortable and confident with his ears.
"We have been absolutely delighted with EarBuddies. Olivia was born with her right ear folded in half [...] I came across EarBuddies by chance online and after an initial fitting by Mr Gault when she was three months, we soon got the hang of the fitting. After three months her ear is perfect. I would recommend it to anyone as it's given such fantastic results without resorting to surgery."
Mrs. C and her Daughter Olivia - United KingdomRead the full story here!
"Myself and partner fitted the splints easily (helps when baby is asleep). We changed the tapes after 1 week and were amazed by the results! He was able to have his hearing test whilst wearing the splints. The tapes were reapplied and changed again after another week and left for a further week (3 weeks in total). We are really pleased with the results after such a short time and would recommend this product for stick out ears. Thank you EarBuddies!!"
Amy and her Son - Weston-super-Mare, EnglandRead about Amy's Experience
"My first attempt I fitted them with my sister who had also used the EarBuddies in 2015 when she managed to correct the rim kink in her sons ear. - After several months we really noticed a change, her ears are now much less pronounced and I am so thankful for discovering EarBuddies! - Go with your instinct as a parent – don't rely on others telling you that it's a good decision – people will just say your baby is perfect. To be honest, I thought my baby's sticking out ears were so cute, however I knew that they may not look this way when she grew up. "

Mrs J and her Daughter - Somerset, England
"EarBuddies has been a blessing for my son. Looking at his ear now nobody would believe that he previously had an ear deformity. EarBuddies I would like to say a huge thanks for creating such an amazing product that can save millions of babies from ridicule, low self esteem and costly surgery in future. With a Basic Kit my son's ear deformity has been cured for life."
Mrs N & her Son - MauritiusSee the full review!
"I just wanted to let you know how HAPPY we are after my baby completed his 3 month treatment. He had prominent ears and I was concerned about him getting bullied or too self-conscious in the future. It was much easier and far more comfortable to wear and apply than I thought, even in a very hot climate like the one we have here in the southeast of Spain on very sensitive skin like my son's. We could already see results after only 15 days! Thank you so much for making such an amazing and easy-to-use device available to everyone."
Andrea & her Son - Alicante, SpainRead Andrea's Full Story!
"I recommend you do not hesitate to get EarBuddies if you have any doubt about your baby's ear. Because in the future, you may have a bigger problem and maybe solution is going to be harder. We were very worried about our newborn baby Miray's left ear, so I made a search on the Web, found EarBuddies, and ordered; shipping was really fast. In just the second day, I could see the progress in her ear."
Ibrahim & and his Daughter Miray - Ankara, TurkeyRead Ibrahim's Review
"Thank you for educating me, thank you for giving me hope & thank you for letting me believe I can do this before I even got the product. My daughter was two months old when my kit arrived. I can not express the excitement and joy me and my family felt after seeing my daughters ears after only two weeks. The results where outstanding, but we noticed her ears where still very soft, so we continued for 7 more weeks. The results truly speak for themselves. Thank you for this life changing product, you successfully changed my daughters life forever."
Denise & her Baby Daughter - Sydney, AustraliaRead Denise's Full Story
About 5% of babies are born with abnormally shaped or stick-out ears, but a further 2% of babies develop stick-out ears in the first 6 months of life. EarBuddies™ splints can be fitted by parents at home in under 20 minutes. An independent study at the Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow in 2012 showed a 78% success rate in newborns when splints are fitted by parents, with 73% rating ease of use as 'easy' or 'incredibly easy'. With early splintage and dedication, fantastic results continue to be achieved by parents at home.
When your baby is born, the cartilage framework of the ears is extremely soft because of Mum's hormones. Some squashing of the ears is natural at birth, but if the ears remain an odd shape after 48 hours, or if they start to stick out, this will quite quickly become permanent as the cartilage hardens. EarBuddies™ splints re-mould the cartilage folds in a baby's ears to restore the natural curves and hold the ear close to the side of the head so that when the framework hardens in the controlled shape, there is a permanent, surgery-free correction.
"If successful, an effective splinting programme could consign the surgical correction of all but the most severe ear deformities to the past."
British Medical Journal, Vol. 334
Post-partum splinting of ear deformities Lindford AJ, Hettiaratchy S, Schonauer F.
Over 98% of EarBuddies™ are fitted by parents at home. However, when professionally fitted and the treatment supervised, success rates rise to up to 92% of cases, even in older babies or those with difficult ear problems.
Professional fitting combines the surgery-free, permanent correction of EarBuddies™ with the clinical experience of trained fitters. Choose amongst our global network of EarBuddies™ Professionals.

Exiled Honduran President Manuel Zelaya sought to increase pressure on his country's interim government, promising to camp out across the border in Nicaragua with his supporters and urging Washington to slap tough sanctions on coup leaders.
Zelaya hugged and clasped hands with dozens of supporters who trickled in on foot to this mountain pass connecting Honduras and Nicaragua on Saturday. Yellow school buses shuttled the Hondurans to spend the night at a gymnasium in the nearby Nicaraguan town of El Ocotal before returning to the border Sunday.
In Honduras, the Defense Ministry posted a statement on the armed forces' Web site saying that it supports "a solution to the problems our country is experiencing, through a process of negotiation within the framework of the San Jose accord," a reference to a proposal made by Costan President Oscar Arias during talks that ended in a stalemate.
Zelaya is demanding he be reinstated as president following the coup, which has been widely repudiated around the globe. The interim government of Roberto Micheletti has opposed Zelaya's reinstatement as president, though not his return, and says that other compromises proposed by Arias are up to Honduras' courts, congress and the national prosecutor investigating charges against the deposed president.
Zelaya, who was toppled by a military coup and flown into exile on June 28, on Saturday made his second symbolic trip in two days to this remote border crossing.
Speaking through a megaphone, the 56-year-old deposed leader told his supporters that he would set up camp and demanded that his family in Honduras be allowed to meet him.
"We are going to stay here this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow," he said.
By late Saturday, some 300 Zelaya supporters had gathered, many having sneaked across the border from Honduras using footpaths through the forest to avoid border guards and military roadblocks. An evening curfew was in effect along the Honduran side of the border.
Zelaya said he would commute back and forth between the border crossing and El Ocotal and probably won't try another border crossing like the brief, symbolic trip a few meters (yards) into Honduran territory he performed Friday. He said he feared soldiers would attack his supporters if he went any farther.
Soldiers did not approach Zelaya during the Friday crossing as he lifted a chain marking the frontier and took a few strides into Honduran territory, where the interim government has charged him with violating the constitution and has vowed to arrest him. He retreated into Nicaragua less than 30 minutes later.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the trip "reckless" and said it would not help restore democratic and constitutional order.
Zelaya criticized the U.S. government for not doing enough to restore him to power and Clinton for her comment.
"Her words should be to repress and admonish the coup government, not the heroic people in resistance," he said.
He urged Washington to impose tougher sanctions, targeting specific people involved in the coup.
U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Zelaya intends to come to Washington Tuesday "for further discussions." However, Zelaya said there has been no confirmation yet on whether he will meet with Clinton.
Washington has already suspended more than $18 million in military and development assistance. The European Union has frozen $92 million in development aid.
Meanwhile, a delegation of U.S. lawmakers led by Florida Republican Congressman Connie Mack planned to start a fact-finding mission in Honduras over the weekend.
Mack is among a number of U.S. conservatives who argue that Zelaya's ouster was not a coup, but rather a legitimate reaction by courts and congress to Zelaya's attempts to hold a referendum on changing the constitution.
Hundreds of Hondurans defied a curfew on Friday and turned out to support Zelaya at the border town of El Paraiso, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas at the crowds.
The body of a young man who had been stabbed to death was found about 50 meters (160 feet) from where the protests took place. Zelaya supporters accused security forces of killing the man, but police spokesman Daniel Molina denied the accusations.
The Honduran military thwarted Zelaya's first attempt to return home July 5 by blocking his airplane from landing at the airport in the capital, Tegucigalpa. The flight sparked clashes between Zelaya's supporters and security forces in which at least one protester was killed.
Associated Press writers Juan Carlos Llorca and Freddy Cuevas in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report

SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server Integration Services - Debugging Script Component - Part 15
December 27, 2005
Continuing the coverage of debugging features in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Data Flow, which we started in the previous installment of this series, we will now focus on the Script Component. As we have already pointed out, some of the methods presented when discussing this subject in the context of Control Flow (in particular, the ones relying on event-generated breakpoints) are not applicable to source, destination, and transformation Data Flow components. This disparity extends even further when comparing Script Task with its Data Flow counterpart - Script Component - and takes the form of syntactical and functional differences between them.
As you might recall, the main purpose of the Script Task is to execute custom Visual Basic .NET code, which performs actions not available via the built-in tasks and containers. This activity-oriented focus reflects its Control Flow characteristics. Script Component, on the other hand, while using a similar implementation approach (based on the same programming language), was designed to satisfy the need for extending the range of Data Flow features beyond an out-of-the-box selection of data sources, transformations, and destinations. While SQL Server 2005 Integration Services already includes a variety of predefined, ready to use components, they are simply not suitable for every type of data and its modifications. Flexibility of the Script Component allows you to address the challenges of processing unusually formatted data or applying complex business rules.
You need to decide which Script Component type to create as soon as you add it to the Data Flow area of SSIS designer - by selecting one of three option buttons in the Select Script Component Type dialog box:
When working with Input Columns (in the case of Destination and Transformation Scipt Components), for each one you select, you need to assign a Usage Type parameter (which takes on one of two possible values - ReadOnly or ReadWrite depending on whether you intend to alter their content). To configure output columns, switch to the Input and Outputs section of the Script Transformation Editor dialog box. Depending on our initial choice of the script component type, you might see there one (Source and Transformation Script Component) or none (Destination Component) output nodes. To add new ones, simply click on the Add Output command button and assign a descriptive name to it. Once the desired output node is present in the Inputs and Outputs area, expand it to display its Output Columns subnode. At this point, you will be able to add output columns using the Add Column command button located underneath, and modify their properties using the Properties area to the right.
The Script section of the Script Component Editor (for source, transformation, and destination types) resembles the one appearing in the Control Flow Script Task. The two also share similar sets of properties (such as ReadOnlyVariables and ReadWriteVariables, which make possible the referencing of SSIS variables from the script). As with Script Task, clicking on the Design Script button brings up the Microsoft Visual Studio for Applications interface with auto generated code of the ScriptMain class template in it (which, in turn, contains a sub, responsible for processing individual input or output rows, depending on the component type).
Even though, as we mentioned before, standard breakpoint functionality implemented in Control Flow tasks and containers is not present in Data Flow components (as you can easily find out, the Edit Breakpoints item does not appear in their context sensitive menu), which makes it more difficult to follow the execution in real time, there are a few workarounds, which can be applied when working with the Script Component:
Most of the debugging methods that we described in the previous article of this series when discussing general ways of debugging Data Flow components also apply to the Script Component. In particular, you can take advantage of the color-coded status indicators, pipeline path data record counter, Output window, or Progress (as well as Execution Results) pane of the SSIS Designer interface. While the Script Component does not contain a designated default Error Output, it is straightforward to create one (using the Inputs and Outputs section of the Script Transformation Editor) and redirect faulty rows to it (with custom code which implements the logic distinguishing them from valid ones). By connecting the output to a Data Flow destination component, errors can be separately stored and analyzed. Furthermore, it is also possible to use this ability to provide additional debugging information about errors generated by other Data Flow components (by including within Script Transformation Component code translating an errorCode into equivalent, but easier to interpret, errorDescription). We will demonstrate this functionality in our next article.

Tagged: content box, mini content box, opacity
June 19, 2012 at 3:23 am #13413
Hello everyone,
I am trying to change the opacity of the mini content box on the right bottom, but the text inside changes accordingly.
Can I set the opacity separately? I want to lower the opacity of the mini content box while keep the text inside unchanged.
There you can find my test website. The opacity is 90% now.
Thank you so much for your help!
huziJune 19, 2012 at 8:00 am #79143
You can apply a rgba background color: http://www.css3.info/introduction-opacity-rgba/
PeterJune 19, 2012 at 8:32 am #79144
You could alternately use a transparent .png background image.June 19, 2012 at 7:46 pm #79145
It looks like you've got the rgba value in there and its working great :)
Just make sure to remove the main opacity (.9) so that the text doesn't have any.
DevinJune 21, 2012 at 3:29 am #79146
Hi there,
After reading this post, I've managed to change the size in the Quick CSS but not the opacity and colours.
This is what i have put in:
.entry-mini {
width: 400px; background-color: rgb(114,131,141); opacity: 0.5;
But the colour didn't change and the opacity reduced including the text.
How do I change them without affecting the text and images?
Where is the custom CSS folder? In the ftp or my dashboard?
pulpbyteJune 21, 2012 at 6:46 am #79147
Try following code instead:
.entry-mini {
width: 400px; background-color: rgba(114,131,141, 0.5);
Yes you need to use ftp to access the flashlight/css folder. However you can also use the quick css field in the theme option panel.June 25, 2012 at 8:57 am #79148
Thank you so much you guys coz it helps me a lot!
There are two things I can't figure out.
1. Can I change the text "English" and "中文" to two icons?
2. In the page, SHOP ONLINE, it's the same problem actually, can I keep the opacity of all elements here remains unchanged while the opacity of the box underneath changes?
Here is the test website: http://126.96.36.199
The SHOP ONLINE page: http://220.127.116.11/shop-online/
Appreciate if you can help me to solve these problems.
huziJune 25, 2012 at 10:06 am #79149
And 1 more question:
3. Can I decrease the height of the box – "English, 中文" and the box that shows the icons of social media channels?June 26, 2012 at 2:33 am #79150
You can target
ul.qtrans_language_chooser li.lang-en a spanto create a button. This link might help you produce a css button http://css-tricks.com/examples/ButtonMaker/.

Thank you so much Ismael! I can finally change it to a buttom. ;-) but can I arrange the icon in the same line instead of two lines?
huziJune 26, 2012 at 8:05 am #79152
Hi huzidesign,

Hi Ismael,
Perfect!!! You are so helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Can you please also tell me how to decrease the height of the white box that contains the "English" and "中文" icon as well as the white box that contains the social media icons?
Appreciate if you can help me! ;-)
huziJune 27, 2012 at 2:34 am #79154
Hi huzi,
Try to add this on your code:
.widget_qtranslate {
padding: 10px 20px 0 !important;
#qtranslate-3 ul {
margin: 0 !important;
#socket {
padding: 10px 15px !important;
//This will hide the copyright
.hide_content_wrap {
display: none !important;
Just adjust the padding size. :)
Hope this helps. :)

The United States maintains a fleet of 11 aircraft carriers and rules the seas. Our military can target and kill suspected enemies anywhere on earth. We fund and train proxy armies all across the world. Our military has hundreds of bases throughout the planet. The U.S. has an arsenal of weapons that could destroy several planets the size of Earth. There are more facts of this kind but you get the idea.
However, every significant U.S. military action of late has indicated that, with the application of military force, no matter in what form, special forces to drones, nuclear subs to armored vehicles, it has proven incapable of achieving even the most minimal Washington goals. The bottom line is that even with technology's wonders installed in U.S. military machines, any final analysis of their effectiveness adds up to marginal at best.
We were supposed to gain, by invading Iraq over those imagined weapons of mass destructdion (WMDs), as promised by the Bush II administration, all the oil we wanted and the enduring love of the Iraqis. Recently, after nine years of throwing borrowed money into that nation and spilling at least a ton of American blood, we asked the government heads if we could garrison our troops there. Loosely translated, their reply was, "No way!" So, we've been ignominiously kicked out, leaving behind everything we built there to be looted, stripped away and most likely used elsewhere against U.S. forces.
Then there's Afghanistan. After 12 years of our military might against a ragtag bunch of insurgents led mainly by tribal leaders, President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign a bilateral security pact and also denounced U.S. military actions in his country. They, too, want us out.
Whether the U.S. military does or doesn't last much longer in Afghanistan, the brutal truth is that the president of one of the poorest and weakest nations on Earth, himself relatively powerless and under constant threat, is essentially dictating terms to Washington. And it looks very much at present, as was the case in Iraq, that the U.S. will be forced to leave Afghanistan, a lonesome departing with what we can carry out.
Why is it that our military power, the mightiest imaginable, cannot overcome weak powers, those with less than impressive insurgency movements, and the ragged groups of tribal people known as terrorists? How is it that such a military power cannot prevail?
It's patently clear that, with recent history as a guide, our military might cannot succeed as a policymaking instrument. That is, it can't alter the world to fit schemes conjured up in Washington, D.C. by war's-the-only-way politicians. The people of the world appears increasingly resistant to military might and that bold and real fact should take it off the table as an effective superpower instrument of policy.
Washington's military plans and tactics ultimately gain nothing. U.S. defeats since WWII should have discouraged such blueprints but obviously have not done so. "Surges" have proven worthless. "Nation-building" serves to remind us of arrogantly silly ideas. "Boots on the ground" is now a stupid plan that has produced nothing but destabilizings. Meanwhile, main street Americans are exhausted with warring overseas.
Yet, our "leaders" in D.C. continue to prefer war as their first option among choices. What's not changing is the idea among them that if we can just get our strategy and tactics readjusted to be effective "this time," then force will work. Most recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin saved us from another misadventure in Syria, by way of an offhand comment by Secretary of State John Kerry through which Putin proved himself the wiser. Presently, negotiations with Iran over nuclear weapon development are stalled and the U.S. may resort to warring again.
The U.S. military has proven itself very effective only at destabilizing nations while causing millions of refugees and bystander deaths. The American "pay-off" is more hate of us and terrorist acts of revenge. What the U.S. military obviously cannot do, and what should be obvious to that collection of wizards in Washington, is success overseas by armed enforcements.

Contrary to popular - or widespread - perception, many fans of Athens-based jam band Widespread Panic fit a more upscale profile than the stereotypical hippie image often associated with the band's followers.
Young professionals spend thousands of dollars a year following Widespread Panic around the country, where the band plays in a variety of premiere concert halls, places like Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks in Colorado and Caesar's Tahoe Showroom in Lake Tahoe, Nev.
"I spend a couple grand a year traveling around the States to see (Widespread Panic)," said Stephanie Powers, a 28-year-old forest health researcher at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Ariz. "I've been (going to) their concerts for 10 years."
Powers and a group of her friends plan to spend tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Athens Hilton Garden Inn to catch Widespread Panic's three-concert series at the Classic Center theater in downtown.
The band's legendary reputation for playing varying set lists at each performance draws the fans to take in multiple shows in the same venues, Powers said.
"That's what makes the concerts so great. It's a different show every night," Powers said.
Because of the fans' devotion to attending every show, Powers and many of her Panic peers are providing welcome revenues to downtown Athens hotels, especially the higher-end Hilton Garden Inn and Foundry Park Inn & Spa.
Dozens of Widespread Panic fans have reserved accommodations in the Hilton Garden Inn, where rooms cost between $129 and $139 a night, said general manager Barry Gilliland. Most of the Hilton Garden Inn guests here for the Classic Center concerts will stay all three nights, he added.
Panic enthusiasts have booked the majority of the 119 rooms at the Foundry Park Inn & Spa, where rates range between $109 and $145 a night. They, too, booked rooms for each night that Widespread Panic plays at the Classic Center, said Shelby Wright, marketing and special events coordinator for the Foundry Park Inn and a Panic fan herself.
"(Widespread Panic) fans are taking the bulk of our rooms, which is a great boon for us because a lot of times we struggle for weeknight guests," Wright said.
Wright, who has traveled to Santa Fe, N.M., and other states to hear the band play, said people have gotten the wrong impression about the band's fan base.
"People have the perception that Panic fans are looking for a cheap place to just crash, but most of the folks I've met are business owners, highly professional folks and parents that just happen to love the band," she said.
"I went to hear them play at Winter Park, Colo., and there was nothing cheap about that," Wright said.
Catching 10 to 15 Widespread Panic concerts a year is routine for Lorrie Dixon, a 35-year-old media buyer for Atlanta's Eskimo Advertising. Dixon, who will stay at the Foundry Park Inn for Panic's three-night run in Athens, said she tries makes a vacation out of her concert dates.
She and her friends caught Panic's two shows in Raleigh, N.C., on Friday and Saturday, and after the Athens concerts, Dixon will head to Orange Beach, Ala., for two performances this coming Friday and Saturday.
"I usually make a trip out of (the concerts)," Dixon said. "I like to eat at nice restaurants, go shopping, and now I always try to stay at a nice hotel."
Dixon said most of her friends who follow the band are business owners or professionals, but she agreed that many people have the wrong perception of fans as being grubby and poor.
Part of the reason for that misconception, Powers said, is that all fans dress the part at performances.
"You can't tell who's who out in the parking lot," Powers said. "Teachers and lawyers, everyone puts on their Panic shirts, jeans and flip flops."
Powers added that she has seen fans scrounging for change to get a ticket to the next concert, and she's met others who have doctorates.
"Everyone is kind of one big family at the show," Powers said.
Playing tonight
Widespread Panic will play sold-out shows at the Classic Center tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

One of the earliest instruments we know of is the J.C.Denner chalumeau, which is in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. It has a recorder-like bell with two diametrically opposed keys (but no speaker pipe, as far as we know) and very little flaring at the lower end. The bore is very large at 15mm., and the tone holes are small, being on average only 5mm in diameter. It is possible that this

Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman were the "pop" stars of the day. In LaBanchi's time the public knew the repertoire and was quite an educated audience. Clarinetists in LaBanchi's (1829-1908) and Carl Baermann's (1810-1885) time were able to hone their craft and art to a very high degree because they were constantly immersed in it. It is periods like this in history that often produce some of the highest caliber artists.

Performance of Innovative Knowledge Economies in the Asia Pacific Region
This paper presents measures for the performances of 12 selected Asia Pacific countries in developing knowledge-based economies (KE). The performances of the selected countries are evaluated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The DEA scores indicate that four of the emerging countries (India, Indonesia, Thailand and mainland China) are relatively inefficient in K-E development compared to the other eight which are equally efficient. The main reason for their backwardness is due to the outflow of their human capital resource to the developed countries. This seriously undermines the level of their K-E development compared to their counterparts. The results also indicate that knowledge dissemination is generally not a serious problem, except for India. However, in terms of knowledge output, knowledge dissemination becomes the weakest point for all low-scoring countries except China. Both India and China however, encounter serious obstacles in knowledge innovation and external connection.

The Twin Cities commercial real estate market is in a weak state concludes the Federal Reserve Board's latest survey of economic activity, called the Beige Book.
The report, released Wednesday afternoon, said while the Twin Cities residential real estate picture has some bright spots, the commercial side is still in a funk.
As part of his work at the Minneapolis Fed, economist Toby Madden checks in around the bank's upper midwest region, chatting up business contacts, asking them for their take on the economy, which he reports in the Beige Book.
Based on the gloom at one of Madden's recent appearances in the Twin Cities, it's no surprise that this region's entry in the Beige Book paints commercial real estate as weak.
Last month, Madden addressed a couple hundred real estate owners and brokers at a conference in Minnetonka. The audience sat poker-faced, sipping their morning coffee, which did not seem to pep them up.
Madden asked who in the audience thought commercial real estate prices would go up a year from now. No one raised a hand.
The industry's grim outlook is making some federal regulators nervous. FDIC chair Sheila Bair said bad commercial real estate loans are a growing threat to banks.
By many accounts, commercial real estate, like residential real estate, got to be overpriced in the past few years. And as with the residential market, commercial real estate buyers had easy access to credit, so they were able to buy the properties despite the high prices.
The residential market crashed, but these days, the market appears to be recovering. That's not the case for commercial real estate.
"We're probably halfway down, and we probably won't hit the bottom until the fourth quarter of next year," Mark Reiling of Collier Turley Martin Tucker's commercial real estate services division, said.
Reiling said commercial real estate lags other economic activities in a downturn.
As companies shed workers, they don't need as much space. With manufacturing down, warehouses store less stuff and sit empty. As consumers hold back on spending, retailers idle their stores, but it's hard for them to get out of lease obligations quickly.
"So we're still in the process of space being shed," Reiling said. "That will continue to occur for the next year and a half or so."
Vacancies are surging. Mike Ohmes, the executive vice president of brokerage services at Northmarq in Bloomington, said in the first six months of the year, commercial vacancies grew by about 4 million square feet.
"That for us is really unprecedented," Ohmes said. "We've never seen a six-month period of time, in the fifteen years we've been tracking statistics here in the Twin Cities, where we had that much space become vacant in a six month period of time."
Ohmes said Twin Cities vacancies have increased across all property types. The office market is at 18 percent, compared to a healthy market of 10 percent. The retail vacancy is at 8.5 percent, the highest it's been in 14 years.
The owner of Woodbury Lakes, a mall in Woodbury, went into foreclosure last month, and it may be because there are a number of vacant storefronts within the mall's property. Those vacancies make it hard for owners to pay their bills, sometimes they have to turn the properties back over to the lenders.
So far, the number of problem commercial mortgages in the Twin Cities is about average compared to the rest of the country. But delinquencies are on the rise nationally, and delinquencies can lead to foreclosures.
Mike Ohmes at Northmarq said those numbers could spike even more because of another thorny issue: many businesses find credit is tight when they need a new mortgage.
"If they can't find a replacement loan, they're between a rock and a hard place," he said.
Unlike residential mortgages, commercial real estate mortgages come due after 5-10 years. At that time, a borrower typically renews the loan, but that's getting harder as lenders clamp down to protect their own finances. "I think [what] is going to be the big wild card is how much commercial income property is going to be foreclosed because of maturing loans," said Terry Kriesel, head of commercial real estate for Bremer Bank, based in St. Paul.
Kriesel said, when commercial real estate loans come due, Bremer tries to work with borrowers to extend the loans. However, his bank is being more cautious about commercial real estate loans. He said this year's loan volumes are down about 30 percent from last year, partly because regulators are scrutinizing banks so closely.
"The regulatory agencies that rule over commercial banks have determined that commercial real estate in general is a higher risk industry than other types of commercial loans," Kriesel said. "So there is some hesitancy from commercial banks to lend on commercial real estate because of the regulatory factor that looms over the industry quite frankly."
A recent survey of senior loan officers conducted by the Fed indicated that a greater number of lenders are tightening lending standards for commercial real estate loans than for most other loan categories.
Many experts say the bank regulators have good reason to worry. Minnesota state economist Tom Stinson said if commercial real estate loan losses start to pile up, that will harm banks and keep credit tight for everyone.
"It affects individuals, households, businesses borrowing to buy new materials," Stinson said. "So it's a much broader concern."
If that happens, Stinson said, the economic recovery, which is already expected to play out slowly, could take even longer.

We weren't the first to ask the questions, but they've been simmering for awhile–why does the campaign of GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton feel the need to control access to her so tightly? Why is the starkly limited access to Norton by the media, when it occurs at all, so scripted? Why are surrogates like Josh Penry doing all the talking instead of Norton?
Today's excellent feature story by the Denver Post's Allison Sherry helps answer:
Welcome to the new Jane Norton campaign for U.S. Senate. Her edges are sharpened. She's asking for money everywhere. And she takes every opportunity on even the smallest of stump stops to whack her chief GOP opponent.
It's a Norton, observers say, acting like she is actually in the middle of a heated primary.
"She has needed to do a better job of presenting her own conservative credentials," said former Gov. Bill Owens, a supporter…
Though she says she relishes the meet-and-greets, she is seemingly still getting on her feet.
On her Eastern Plains trip, she regularly turned to staff or prominent volunteers, such as former state Sen. Mark Hillman, to help her through questions from voters.
At the Wray coffee shop, Norton was asked why she was a better candidate than Buck.
"I'm true to conservative principles, and we need people who will have broader appeal," she said, glancing at staffer Cinamon Watson, sitting at a table nearby. "Cinamon, what else?"
In a telephone town hall later that day, Norton crouched in a Burlington motel room and took questions from more than 2,000 people who listened in. After responding, she often asked Penry – who was on the line from Denver – whether he could add anything.
Folks, this is a very bad story for Jane Norton. As we said yesterday, these attacks on opponent Ken Buck as an "ole-boy insider" are absurd and eyebrow-raising hypocritical. But today's story reveals more: possibly the most in-depth look at her campaign that voters have read so far, this is a portrait of a thoroughly vacuous candidate, relying on slogans and superficial impressions to win. The idea that a U.S. Senate candidate has to turn to staff to help articulate her appeal, having nothing but two completely meaningless–not to mention contradictory–jingles to offer herself when asked why she deserves support over Buck? And people wonder why Buck is erasing Norton's lead in the latest polling?
This is what Norton's handlers didn't want the voters to see outside of small, friendly "Tea Party" groups she is trying desperately to win over, but there was no way to conceal it forever. We see growing parallels to the '08 candidacy of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for vice president–so much anticipation and fear, but then they let her talk without a script.

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by na2b, Apr 19, 2006.
Andy Roddick gets my vote.
What do you guys think?
Roddick would have been my last pick. I liked Mantilla when he wore turquise contact lenses, Marat is definitely the best looking but it's hard to see at the moment with his hair up in a bun & and most of the players look pretty darn good when seen in person.
I would have to say Marat for sure! Needs to cut his hair though Marat with his 2002 hair cut *drools*
Andy roddick is definitely very good looking but i personally prefer the spanish/argentine men...for me I could not choose between verdasco, rafa, gaudio and feli...i think they're all YUM!!
i think radek stepanek is SOOO Dreamy!!!
Yes, Radek.
ameila mauresmo definately. especially those broad shoulders and jetting chin.
I don't care, but I have to go with Marat I guess.
MOYA over all. And far from him come tommy haas, calleri, safin, feliciano and Blake.
I used to think that zabaleta was good looking, but i dont anymore.
Olivier Rochus, girls like guys who are short.....like mE!!!!!
Oh yeah, Gaudio's pretty good-looking too.
Regarding Roddick... have you guys seen him off the court? Like maybe in the SNL?
Women find Feliciano Lopez attractive.
But there is a lack of the Alpha Male kind of guy whom women faint over - as Boris Becker was for example.
And of course they don't wear those tight short shorts like Becker anymore.
Enqvist looks like an Alpha Male.
Federer is and makes me horny.
We are living in the golden age of men's tennis. Not only are there a lot of terrific players to watch but so many of them--practically all of them!--are also incredibly good-looking.
I would go so far as to say that this generation of ATP players is the most handsome generation ever.
Is this where female posters come out of the woodwork?
Haas, Gambill, Moya, Gasquet, Blake, Ginepri, Tecau, JOrdan Kerr, etc, etc, etc. This thread's been done before.
I hope all you posters are girls otherwise I would be disturbed. BTW...I think Roger is dreamy and Rafa is very sexy for a guy.
I heard from someone that Gaudio looks like Chewbacca.
Stop messing around, Tchocky; you're not a girl.
Andre Agassi , Safin with short hair, maybe Haas, Blake..
feliciano lopez, nicholas lapentti.
nuff said.
Mark Philippoussis
Come on girls We gotta beat the guy's on these threads!!!>Beyond Fine is Baby=Moya,Hoppie,Ferrero,Baby g =Gasquet,Seringetti=greyhare.Very yummy Men (IE Ultra Pretty,>Pretty and Approachable!!!).
omigod frodo is a girl, i did not know that.
Frodo's a girl? I better read that book again.
Dahveed!!!! Why is is always so left out?!
Because he looks like Fabio. On a bad day.
Whatever, Radek Stephanek is the best looking and slightly behind him is Amelie..
Really? Over beauties like Stepanek, Puerta, and Ljubicic? LOL. You're either jealous and/or blind.
My thoughts exactly... and the gay males maybe...
I am determined to turn this thread into one where we post the pictures of the ugliest guys we can find. I'll start things off.
Radek Stepanek
Mariano Puerta
And that nasty lug Greg Rusedski
Bad photo of Puerta. He normally looks like a pro wrestler on steroids. Well I guess he's not a wrestler, but he's at least on steroids. Hilarious photo of Stepanek. He looks like an alien. Poor, rich idiot.
ivo karlovic is frickin sweet lookin, (no im not gay, and yes im being sarcastic)
Finally, a thread I feel qualified to comment on ...
Roddick, Blake, Ginepri, Safin, and the Bryan brothers. And let's throw Fish in there for fun too.
perhaps b/c his tree foot nose and his huge belly.
More handsome than the Handsome Eight?
Taylor Dent? A good looking guy or a bad looking guy?
He's one of the weirdest looking guys I've ever seen. Looks like one of those monster imps from the videogame Doom, except with hair.
LMFAO!!!! right on the spot!!
Yeah people have varying expressions when they make contact. Some look friggin insane like Dent. Some, like Roddick look like chipmunks.
Safin looks like he's about to bite someone (kind of a cool look though).
And then there's Stepanek, who is butt-ugly no matter what he does.
Yes I know I pick on Stepanek a lot, and I know he's got way more game than I ever can hope to have. But heaven forbid if I should ever be that ugly.
She used to go by the name of Ivy Wolftail. Maybe you have a shot at her, lucky. I can see it now...
If I was competing over a girl with ATP players,
I wouldn't be intimidated by anybody except two:
Mark Philippoussis and Marat Safin.
How could I compete with these guys ? Big guys
with movie star looks and load of money...
So you think Stepanek is rich??In the Czech Republic tenis players aren´t very rich. Novak also isn´t very rich..
Yep. My personal choice of the current Tour is Moya. Many younger gals like that Nadal, though. But my overall choice is Jim Courier. Definitely the thinking-woman's choice, and talk about a forehand!
I already follow the US Davis Cup, but if Jim becomes Captain of the team, look out. ;-)
Personally, I don't find Roddick very attractive. His eyes are too close together and his nose is a bit screwed up.
My vote goes to Tommy Haas. That guy could be a male model.
Second choice would be Tommy Robredo. Another guy with those model/actor good looks.
So many posts. Are there that many women on this board, or is that picture correct?
But I will say Safin, with his hair short and his face a little less red and angry.
There aren't, but yet you guys keep this thread alive.
THose photos of Dent are fantastic. I like my tennis players to look like huge monsters. And if I was a pro I would want to look like a crazy monster like him and terrify all my opponents.

New on Exhibit - Hurricane Season
Hurricane season on the east coast started on June 1st. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) is predicting an active year, but Rhode Islanders have weathered the storms before.
In acknowledgement of some of Rhode Island's worst hurricanes in memory, the Special Collections and Rhode Island Collection are exhibiting items that showcase the power of these hurricanes and the fortitude of Rhode Islanders who lived through them. In particular, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Hurricane of '38 - particularly devastating storm.

My question is: if I use the Wii Shop Channel to install a new channel do I risk installing an update that will disable homebrew again? Specifically, I would like to download the bbc iplayer channel. Just want to avoid having to re-jailbreak the wii yet again.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had a "mutiny" on his hands on Halloween, when he told his team they were practising in pads the first day after a bye week.
"It was practically a mutiny," an unnamed player told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports in an exclusive report.
Safety Ed Reed was among the disgruntled veterans who didn't withhold their disappointment.
"Rather than squashing the mini-uprising," Silver wrote, "the coach welcomed the dialogue and solicited additional criticism. Soon, the meeting turned surreal, as the subject shifted to Harbaugh's treatment of his players and perceived mood swings."
The unnamed player said, "It came very close to getting out of control. But the way coach Harbaugh handled it was amazing. He let people have their say, and he listened, and he explained himself, and pretty soon it was like a big group-therapy session.
"In the end, a lot of positive things were said. We didn't practise in pads, but we came out of there stronger as a group."
The Ravens have won all four games since that day, and are 9-2 on the season, tied for the best start in franchise history.
Big Ben, Antonio Brown and Troy Polamalu all returned to Pittsburgh Steelers practice Wednesday.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (right shoulder) practised on a "limited" basis, as did wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery (ribs), while safety Polamalu (calf) and wideout Brown (ankle) practised without limitation.
Pittsburgh (6-5) has a big game Sunday at AFC North arch-rival Baltimore (9-2).
Meantime, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has benched Rashard Mendenhall and will start Jonathan Dwyer at running back, while struggling wide receiver Mike Wallace was in danger of being benched also.
JASON A JAG: The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed discarded Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin and his lucrative contract off waivers Wednesday.
Eight teams reportedly had intentions of grabbin' Babin, who had 18 sacks last year and has 5.5 this season.
The Eagles let the 32-year-old go Tuesday, citing a desire to give younger players a chance, now that the team is toast at 3-8.
So now Babin is on a 2-9 team. Oh, joy.
Buffalo Bills fans are expressing their displeasure with the team by staying away from the ticket booth.
None of the Bills' final three home games are close to selling out, CEO Russ Brandon told Buffalo's WGR 550-AM radio Wednesday.
"We have significant inventory to move," Brandon said. "This (Sunday's) game will be blacked out (on local TV) against Jacksonville."
Brandon said "close to 15,000" tickets remained unsold as of Wednesday morning. Ralph Wilson Stadium's capacity is 73,967.
Buffalo was expected to be in the thick of the playoff hunt this season, but is 4-7 and effectively out of it.
Clearly, many Bills fans took a wait-and-see approach before buying last-month tickets. The fact the team is about to miss the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season appears to have crushed any such run-up.
The three December opponents sure didn't help. All three have losing records: the Jaguars are 2-9, the St. Louis Rams (Dec. 9) are 4-6-1 and the New York Jets (Dec. 30) are 4-7.
The league allowed clubs this season to lift the local TV blackout if it sold 85% of tickets for a given game, but Brandon told WGR that implementing that policy in Buffalo made little sense.
"When we miss, we usually miss big," he said. "We usually miss in December. We have a 20-year sampling of selling out (only) 58% of our games in December."
Buffalo's notoriously brutal winter weather plays a large part in that. The Bills' other 'home' game next month is on Dec. 16 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite a huge reduction in ticket prices this year, a sellout is not expected.
As expected, Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback again for the San Francisco 49ers Sunday in St. Louis. Why Kaepernick over Alex Smith?
"Well, the rationale is you've got two quarterbacks that we feel great about as the starting quarterback," Jim Harbaugh said by way of convolution. "Both have earned it. And Alex over a long period of time. Colin by virtue of the last three games. What tips the scale, is Colin, we believe, has the hot hand and we'll go with Colin. And we'll go with Alex. They're both our guys."
Well that clears it up.
Per reports, the NFL fined Detroit Lions zero Ndamukong Suh $30,000 for kicking Houston quarterback Matt Schaub in the minerals last Thursday. He said Wednesday it was accidental. Um-hmm.
Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen was fined $21,000 for an over-the-line block on Chicago guard Lance Louis, which ended his season.
And Seattle safety Earl Thomas was fined $15,000 for an egregious roughing-the-passer penalty on Miami's Ryan Tannehill.
Mr. Commercials leads Pro Bowl voting by fans, with two-and-a-half weeks to go.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning led all NFLers Wednesday with 586,523 votes.
New England quarterback Tom Brady was second (534,020), followed by Houston running back Arian Foster (519,261), Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers (485,196) and Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson (484,227).
Balloting concludes Dec. 17 following the Monday Night Football matchup between the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans.
Pro Bowl teams will be announced Dec. 26 at 7 p.m. EST on NFL Network.
The Pro Bowl — perhaps the last ever — will be played Jan. 27 in Honolulu, pitting the AFC all-stars against the NFC's.
The NFL determines the all-stars by combining voting by fans, coaches and players.

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte returned to practice, albeit on a limited basis. There were worries the ankle injury suffered Sunday against Minnesota was more severe. He's expected to play Sunday against Seattle "¦ Minnesota wide receiver Percy Harvin was going to test his sprained ankle at Wednesday's practice, and both tight end Kyle Rudolph and safety Harrison Smith were cleared to practise after suffering concussions Sunday "¦ The NFL is studying injury rates on the expanded lineup of Thursday games this season. But a study of Thursday games held from 2009-11 showed no increase in injuries compared to Sundays.

Titanfall's upcoming beta is not open to all
The upcoming beta for Titanfall, which has yet to be formally announced, will not be openly available to everybody.
According to a tweet from Vince Zampella, co-founder of developing studio Respawn Entertainment, you'll need some sort of code to gain access. Unfortunately, he didn't explain how exactly you'll be able to get one of these codes, and we've yet to hear further details from Respawn.
The good news is that the beta won't be tied to a pre-order of the game and Respawn is hoping to get "as many people in [the beta] as possible." When the beta codes are sent out, they will be done so in waves "to make sure it works."
The actual dates for Titanfall's beta have yet to be confirmed, but it's widely expected to begin on February 14th.

Banned for 20 Years, Photographer Returns to Tunisia
Posted by Holly Hughes on Tuesday November 1, 2011 | Photojournalism, Photos In The News
Posted by Holly Hughes on Tuesday November 1, 2011 | Photojournalism, Photos In The News
As a kid growing up in Belgium, photographer Karim Ben Khelifa spent all his school vacations in Tunisia, visiting his aunts, uncles and cousins, enjoying family gatherings in his grandparents' home, going to the beach. But in the last 20 years, he had been unable to return. Family members in Tunisia warned him that his work covering Islamic insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan would make him the target of the government of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, described as a "predator of press freedom" by Reporters without Borders. Because Ben Khelifa, 39, holds a Tunisian as well as a Belgian passport, the government of Tunisia could jail him with impunity.
After the ouster of Ben Ali in January inspired demonstrations across the Middle East, Ben Khelifa says, "I managed to go to Yemen and Libya on assignment for Newsweek, Le Monde and Stern," he says, but his dream was to return to Tunisia. "This is my country. It's the one I want to work in more than any other." In September, at the Visa Pour L'Image festival in Perpignan, he convinced editors at Le Monde to send him to Tunisia during the run-up to the country's elections on October 23. But he asked for a deal: "If you send me back, I don't want to cover any news. The work is about me going back to my roots after 20 years. They decided to take a different angle on the story."
In October, Le Monde ran several diptychs by Ben Khelifa: Photos of his cousins, his family home and the site of his grandparents' grave site, which he hadn't visited since he was 19, appeared next to images of Tunisians preparing for the elections. The juxtaposed photos told parallel stories, Ben Khelifa says: "One is my story and the other is simultaneously what is happening in the country."
Though family members had assured him he would now be safe, entering the Tunis airport was nerve-wracking. When he showed his Tunisian passport, an official looked up his name on a computer. Ben Khelifa recalls, "He takes a few seconds and says, 'We know who you are. We know what you've done.'" Then, after an anxiety-inducing pause, the official said, "Welcome to Tunisia."
Among the photos Le Monde published are some Ben Khelifa shot in the village of Bir Ali Ben Khelifa, named for his great-grandfather, Ali Ben Khelifa, who had lead an uprising against colonial powers in the nineteenth century and died while fighting the French. In Tunisia, "everyone knows that name, everyone knows he was the leader of the resistance," but the young Ben Khelifa had never been told the story. His father, raising his children in Belgium, "wanted us to be good Europeans," the photographer explains. Having covered the year's protests, he says, he felt amazed "learning one of my ancestors was in the resistance."
Covering the elections was "amazing. I have goosebumps," Ben Khelifa told PDN the day after the votes were counted. "I was expecting a more jubilant election," he says, but when he followed his family to the polls, he noticed that people were emotional but calm. "People were waiting three hours, maybe five hours to vote, doing it quietly in the sun while it was hot. They were smiling and they were happy, it was obvious, but full of dignity."
Now back home in France, Ben Khelifa is busy working on Emphas.is, the crowd-funding Web site he founded, and on other assignments, but he's eager to return to Tunisia to see how it adjusts to the new coalition formed by Ennadha, the moderate Islamic party which won half the seats in Parliament, and to learn more about the history of his family.
"If you look at the scope of my career, I think I've been looking for my Arab roots all over the Mideast. Now I can say it: This is my country."
