The Dressmaker of Khair Khana: Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe
Title: The Dressmaker of Khair Khana: Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe
Author: Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
KDL Description:
Delivers the story of a fearless young woman who became a dress-making entrepreneur in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, thus saving her family and bringing hope to the lives of dozens of women in her war-torn nation.
Amazon Description:
The life Kamila Sidiqi had known changed overnight when the Taliban seized control of the city of Kabul. After receiving a teaching degree during the civil war—a rare achievement for any Afghan woman—Kamila was subsequently banned from school and confined to her home. When her father and brother were forced to flee the city, Kamila became the sole breadwinner for her five siblings. Armed only with grit and determination, she picked up a needle and thread and created a thriving business of her own.
The Dressmaker of Khair Khana tells the incredible true story of this unlikely entrepreneur who mobilized her community under the Taliban. Former ABC News reporter Gayle Tzemach Lemmon spent years on the ground reporting Kamila's story, and the result is an unusually intimate and unsanitized look at the daily lives of women in Afghanistan.
In this advance excerpt of chapter seven, available only in e-book format, readers are immersed in the Sidiqi household as they watch Kamila and her sisters work around the clock to sew dresses for a wedding. When the bride and her wedding party return to pick up their gowns, the sisters make an astonishing discovery. Purchase today to get an exclusive look at what Greg Mortensen, author of Three Cups of Tea, has called, "One of the most inspiring books I have ever read."

Investing in Gold Bars
We're facing hard times and a lot of us are trying to get some other way to earn money. There are those who try selling products for additional income. Some have part-time jobs and others go for investments. Investing in something like stocks or in products can bring in some extra cash. There are also those who invest in gold bars which is quite a good way to keep something of value and let it increase its value until the time comes when it is needed. It may be time to look for an investment or to buy gold bars online from Golden Eagle.
Cordless Tools
There are many carpenters and workers who use cordless tools in their work. It is more convenient for them to be using cordless tools to drill holes or drive screws and bolts. Before, corded tools were used and a lot of extension cords were used with them. It's not so easy when you have to go up the ceiling or roof just to drill a hole or put a screw in it. Having some freedom bringing the tool everywhere it is needed consumes less time and effort. The usual equipment used are Bosch cordless tools because of its reliability and the way it makes work easier.
Audio Conferencing
Communication between colleagues, business partners and other co-workers is important especially when a deal is being done where services or products should be ready and answers given to customers should be up to date. It is better to have some kind of communication with those who are handling key services to give a frontliner the edge when doing a sale or closing a deal. There may be times when there is a need to hold meetings even when not all of the personnel concerned is present at the office. He or she can be present through video or audio conferencing service. People at the office can give the person in the field an update of what is being done in the office and if there are things that are not available or cannot be used. With the right information, the person in the field can make the right decisions and even consult with the manager or supervisor while checking on the availability of the products and services.
Morgan Dollar
There are people who have their own coin collection. They have different kinds of coins that dates from several decades to century old coins. They have Morgan dollars, Bust dollars and Peace dollars that have been released in different times. A collectors item coin can be a perfect gift for someone who collects them. If a certain type like the Morgan dollar is what the person is looking for, there is the Morgan dollar price guide that can help with the purchase. The person will be happy with the gift especially when he receives a coin he doesn't have yet.

If you were recently injured and are considering your options in handling your insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit against the person that caused your injuries, we can help. Involving an Oklahoma City personal injury attorney is an essential step to take if you are to ensure the greatest opportunity at an advantageous case outcome. You may have the right to sue for the various post-injury expenses you have to deal with, and an experienced lawyer will understand exactly how to approach your case in order to assist you in recovering the highest amount of financial damages.
Because of the immense impact that an injury or any type of accident can have upon various aspects of a person's life, recovering fair financial damages will be an important part of a victim and his or her family being able to rebuild and move on. This is most often accomplished through the competent handling of an insurance claim, as insurance providers are typically responsible for paying out settlements for most types of injuries and accidents. It is an unfortunate reality that some insurance companies are only interested in making a profit. When they actively focus their energy on determining how to pay the lowest settlement possible or unfairly deny or delay payment, they place a victim's financial stability and future at risk. This is when involving a personal injury attorney in your area becomes all the more important. You need someone to stand up for your rights.
At the Law Offices of Stipe and Belote, our goal is to help people who have suffered a personal injury due to someone else's negligence or intentional misconduct. We understand that most people simply do not have the time or resource to go up against insurance companies or other large corporations in handling their injury claims. With more than 30 collective years in the legal field, we are ready to put our experience to work for you. We represent clients who have been injured in any type of accident or other situation linked to another person's negligent, careless or intentional conduct. Our lawyers have achieved the AV® Preeminent™ rating by Martindale-Hubbell® in addition to being named Super Lawyers for five consecutive years. When you need a personal injury attorney you can rely on, bring your case to our law firm.
Some of the types of injury cases our law firm can handle include, but are not limited to car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and all other types of motor vehicle collisions in the area. We also work with victims of boating accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, DUI accidents, and other types of accidents that have resulted in wrongful death. Our team also handles those incidents involving premises liability, such as slip and fall accidents, dog bites, food poisoning, swimming pool and drowning accidents, elevator accidents, and more. If you have been injured at your place of employment, such as in a scaffolding or construction accident, we may be able to help you file a claim for workers' compensation. We also take on cases involving medical malpractice, birth injuries, and any other occurrence of doctor negligence.
If you need help obtaining a settlement for injuries sustained by a defective product, due to nursing home abuse, or for Social Security disability benefits, our law firm is ready to help! We also assist families in filing claims for the loss of a loved one in any of these or similar situations. Whether it is a complex case involving side effects caused by Zoloft or an insurance claim related to catastrophic injuries caused by a car accident, we are confident in our ability to provide the legal counsel you need.
Depending on the type of claim you are dealing with and the severity of your injuries, fully recovering from an injury or loss may seem difficult or impossible. Although we cannot go back in time to prevent an injury from occurring, our goal is to provide the legal representation in your personal injury claim that will result in the recovery of maximum financial compensation, whether through a negotiated settlement or jury award in your favor. You can count on your injury lawyer at our firm to do everything possible to forward your interests and protect your right to compensation - in order to help you rebuild and move on with your life.
At the Law Offices of Stipe & Belote our dynamic duo has more than 30 years of combined legal experience. Being injured is not an easy feat to overcome, particularly when the injury is the result of personal harm done by another's negligent or reckless behaviors. No one should ever be made to suffer from someone else's irresponsible mistakes and this is especially true in cases of personal injury. The decades that we have dedicated to serving victims of person injury have allowed us a thorough understanding of just how difficult the time following an injury can be. We have seen a countless number of individuals seek out our services in need of legal help and professional defense on behalf of the wrongs that were done them. These include the harmful actions that led to the injury as well as the actions of bad faith taken by their insurance provider after the injury. The physical and emotional harm done to victims of personal injury should be vindicated – not continued – and we will do everything in our power to make sure that this is exactly what happens.
No two personal injury claims are the same. When you work with a lawyer at our firm, you will find that we will take care in providing you with the one-on-one, compassionate service and attention you need. We take the time to understand what our clients are going through and will be sure to answer our questions and address your unique needs as we handle your case. Whether we are able to recover the compensation you deserve through a negotiated settlement or must take your case to civil court to be decided in front of a judge and jury, you will receive the aggressive and knowledgeable representation that makes a difference in the outcome of every case we handle. Our office is conveniently located at:
525 Central Park Drive Suite 101 Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Map & Directions

Area residents are still feeling the effects of Friday's storm.
Across the state, American Electric Power of Ohio reported 573,000 customers in its service territory without power last Saturday.
Locally, AEP indicated about 700 power customers in Jefferson County were still without power Saturday evening. Service restoration is expected by Monday, dependent on the weather.
Spokesperson Jennah Nelson advises residents to check AEP's website at www.aepohio.com for the latest information if internet access is available.
"Hang tight. We have all of our crews working and everything should be restored within a five-to-seven-day period if nothing else severe happens," said Nelson.
She said AEP crews are working 16-hour shifts in an attempt to expedite the restoration process.
"We're urging residents to be extremely cautious around all downed power lines. We are also asking residents to check on all affected family, elderly neighbors, etc., if possible," said Nelson.
AEP is currently working on compiling shelter information for affected areas, and that will also be listed on the website, according to Nelson.
But power problems are just one issue residents are facing.
The Jefferson County Water and Sewer Department issued a statement that said residents living on or near the following areas and roadways may have experienced or may experience a loss of water due to Friday's storm and power outages: "Area A" locations including Keeper Road, Washington Road, Porter Road, Tarr Hill, state Route 151, the village of New Alexandria, Georges Run, Buckingham Ridge Road, Plum Run, all township roads off of state Route 151, Santucci Road and Graham Road; "Piney Fork Area" locations including county Roads 11 and 152A, township Roads 138, 134 and 153 and state Route 152; "Area GI" locations, including Jackson Heights, Grandview Heights, state Route 150, township Road 111, county Road 14, county Road 1 and Glen Robbins; and "Area GII" locations including county Roads 4, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
They are asking customers with water to conserve until further notice, as crews are aware of the problem and are working to restore services.

Georgia Tech project arms consumers against restrictive ISPs
Your home's Internet router is an idiot. It is the one device you have that, theoretically, could accurately tell you how fast your Internet connection is over time, and who in your house is using up the bandwidth. But it does none of that.
It's not in the name of simplicity, either. The software that's baked into demented routers is not, for the most part, user-friendly. It's just dumb, because dumb is cheap.
Adventurous geeks who have the right hardware can upgrade a router by reprogramming it with an open-source replacement operating environment, like DD-WRT or … Read more

You can get the UP installer at http://up.ucsd.edu/download/.
If the installer indicates that you already have CP installed, you must remove it, then restart the UP installer. You can do this by going to the Control Panel (from the Start menu) and selecting "Add or Remove Programs." From this window you should remove Classroom Presenter (and the Instructor Mode Add-in, if you choose to also install the PowerPoint plugin).
The .msi installer will guide you through the setup process, allowing you to choose the destination directory and which users the installation will be applied to. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.4322 SP1 and Windows XP SP2 required.
You can find instructions on how to create your UP instructor account and classroom on the Instructor Welcome page.
UP's lectures use the ".csd" (Conferencing Slide Deck) file format. You can create .csd's in two ways:
PowerPoint (plugin required): Use the option "File → Export to CSD and Web." After saving the lecture on your own computer, you will be asked to choose your server and log in. You should use the server /up/ and enter your username and password. Then you will be given a window in which to select your classroom and name your lecture.
DeckBuilder: Open the deck using "File → Open" and then choose "File → Save As CSD." This saves a copy on your own computer. To put the lecture up in your virtual classroom, select "File → Save to Web." This window will allow you to select your classroom and name your lecture. You can also create a deck by making slides from images (most common image formats are accepted) using "Edit → Insert Image..."
At this point your lecture is viewable on the web. You can use the web-based instructor account to control access to and features of each lecture. You can find the address of your lecture by going to /up/, logging in, and clicking on your classroom.
Double-click on your saved .csd lecture to launch CP. When you start CP you will be prompted to connect to your classroom on the web. (You can always connect later by selecting "File → Sync to Web...") Enter your instructor username and password when prompted. You will be shown a window of your classrooms, once you choose a classroom, you will be shown the list of lectures in that classroom. Select today's lecture. You're ready to go — all of the ink that you add to the slides during lecture will be archived on the web!
Classroom Presenter uses Tablet PCs' second video card to project a different display than the instructor sees. Hence, you do not connect to the digital projector using Function-F5 (or however your machine indicates). Instead you will tell the Windows operating system to extend your windows desktop onto the second monitor. This " second monitor" is, in this case, the projector. The student view will be extended there.
Specific details can differ by machine model (some systems have shortcuts to do this), but all systems can accomplish this by:
On some Tablet PC models you may have to do this each time you connect to a projector, on others you may only need to do this once.
You also can lecture from blank slides. First, you must create a lecture to hold your slides, which can be accomplished two ways:
Then, to start lecturing from your new classroom:
Now, any ink that you add to the blank slides will be viewable on the web.
In class when you are ready to have students participate, click on the Presenter icon that is an envelope with wings. It should change from having an "anti" symbol in red to having a checkmark in green. When new submissions are available, a "New Submissions Available" option will load onto the menu bar (in text). Click on it, and the submissions will be loaded onto the "Student Submissions" tab at the bottom of your filmstrip view. Select your deck tab to switch back to the lecture.

tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...
Yummmmm delish! Made this yesterday and everyone loved it. Thanks for the recipe :-)
i likka it!!!
I've never made Panna Cotta before and was a bit aprenehsive about tackling it. I didn't use the spun sugar, but left it in the ramkin dish, popped a raspberry on top and covered the plate underneath with sieved icing sugar, two or three more raspberries and blueberries and a small sprig of of mint leaves - looked terrific and tasted fantastic - thanks Jamie
How big can I make this in one dish? Want to make it for around 15 people; perhaps a silly question (just multiply?) but every recipe says to make it in ramekins. Advice would be comforting!
Thank you.
that's great...
good job. thanks. how are you do the spun sugar?
thanks for this recipe! I've been looking for a Panna Cotta recipe for quite a while!
Cheers from Austria!

Special thanks to Brian Kelley and American Kabuki blog for conducting this interview and transcription.
December 2, 2012
By Brian K.
The Truth, supported by stone cold evidence revealed in this interview is enough to make even the folks down at Ripley's Believe it or Not, vomit.
Prior to my interview with Teri and Dennis, I was aware of the deception and corruption committed by United States of America Corporation against its own people, but not to the depth and degree that was revealed. So many acts of treason at so many levels. Its difficult to fathom how those behind the development of the system have gotten away with it for so long. The most sickening part is that the perpetrators rub it right in our faces. If they had done it openly, they know we "the people" would not allow it to happen. They expected us to volunteer to tie ourselves down to the tracks using rope we paid for, to get utterly railroaded. Then they expected us to graciously ask for seconds.
I don't know about you but I'm done playing that game. Yes, I firmly believe the cavalry is coming and there is a master plan playing out behind the scenes that has a lot of promise in turning things around for this country and the world. Much of which I uncovered in my interview with Poof, for those of you who were lucky enough to hear it, before we had to pull it offline, know exactly what I'm talking about.
But that doesn't mean we should all sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting for the white knights to come save us. Fact is, the more of us who stand up for what we believe in NOW and speak up for our rights, not only citizens of the United States, but free citizens of the world, the faster we will be able to earn our way into the Golden Age!
If you're like me and you're sick of waiting, then lets all do our part now by signing the petition on the whitehouse.gov website and re-declare our freedom and independence as Americans. It takes two minutes to do your part and make a difference. We need 25,000 signatures by Dec 25, 2012 to garner an official response from the governmen… which is nothing with ALL of your support! Stand up NOW and let your voices be heard!
Petition from the White House.gov website:
We The People Now Re-Declare in 2012…. The Declaration of Independence!
This petition is for the purpose of a public Re-Declaration of Independence that declares our Independence from the illegal US Government CORPORATION, thereby RESTORING our organic and lawful united States Government, which puts the illegal US Government CORPORATION and all its illegal BAR association members throughout ALL three branches of government on notice, and establishes a mandate by the Power and Authority of "We the People" for their immediate removal from office as mandated by the authority of the original 13th Amendment.
Created: Nov 24, 2012
Here is the link to sign the Re-Declaration document itself http://www.conscioushugs.com/sign-re-declaration-of-independence-2012/
Here is the link to sign the White House petition http://wh.gov/IIKC
Share it on your Facebook, tweet it, re-blog it, share this interview, send it out to your email network, shout it out from your roof top! NOW is the time to wake people up to the Truth!

LadyEnigma's secret to more $savings

Purchased at iHerb
============================================================================================================== Enter 'OPI 483' (one word) at checkout and get $10off. If you're an existing customer, you must register a new e-mail address. Click my name LadyEnigma ▲ at the top of this review (blue text)-you will get info on additional $$savings. Don't miss it! MyPage contains $$$c-o-d-e FOR ALL CUSTOMERS- DON'T MISS IT!!! I had tried other dark chocolate bars before as high as 86% but have never found a brand that tasted as good as Endangered Species. Every piece of their chocolate has a good consistency and tastes like a very high quality chocolate. I would recommend their chocolate highly. These are divine if you like bitter chocolate. And to boot, it's the healthiest chocolate you could eat - lots of antioxidants, no animal products (vegan), no gluten, supports endangered species, etc. If you like dark chocolate, you'll love this. They perfectly balance having enough chocolate that you can taste the whole flavor profile without having so much that it's too bitter to eat. I am always happy to find that my chocolate is never melted, despite arriving to hot Florida heat! And I have never had any issues receiving a quality product. Value is terrific, for the savings I get by buying in bulk. The chocolate itself is delightful. It is not too bitter, as some dark chocolates are, but rich and flavorful. I am also very glad to support a company like Endangered Species that gives back to the environment and animals as well as being fair trade. Bravo to the company for a great product and the seller for superb shipping & delivery! I will keep buying again and again!

I second the magazine idea. My grandmother did this for me when I was little and it was awesome getting real mail. Nowadays when everything is pretty much electronic, that would be even more exciting.

This is my very first time with the sewing machine:=) i love this color but the t-hirt was one size bigger and i decided to transform it into a pretty cardigan.
Choose your t-shirt. I love this color.
Mark the center of it and cut.
Cut off the collar
Wear your amost done cardigan and measure the borders you should sew.
Sew the borders with the sewing machine.
You can stop here or contunue like i did. Wear the cardigan again and mark where you'd like to add some accessories. I like dresses with some buttons or ribbon just under the bust.
Choose what you like to add to your cardigan. I used pieces of the collar with some cute buttons. At the end sew it into the choosen part of the cardigan.
Done:=) :=)
I can't wait to wear it at october!

When the motion lights turn on in front of our place it lights it up like daylight. I made one more step onto the porch and BING the front area was all lit up, At that point I realized it was not a coyote but a fox with some of my laying hens feathers dangling from it's mouth. At about the same time I thought "wow this fox doesn't even know I'm here" I noticed why... It was 100% focused on a hen that it or it's buddy's had already maimed, She was a good hen also! I crouched down, Drew my 45acp loaded with Silvertips and thought humm.. How close can I get to this thing. My work vehicle was parked about 15 feet from it, I slowly low walked to the rear axle of my work vehicle,cocked my 45 for a single action trigger press slowly looked up and I was surprised to see the fox still in the same position just fixated on my hurt hen. Well the rest is history, I plugged that little bitch at 15 feet square in the chest. Now the interesting part. I had no time to skin it out at that time, as cool as my boss is she would not be OK with me being late because I needed to skin out a fox that had a field day with my chickens. I took the 20lb ( at most ) female fox and put her in a peacefully position under a ceder tree and left os note for my family. By the time I got off work, got home and started to skin it out it was too late, the 95+ degree temp had already go to work on her and it was pretty bad, I did decide to find out what type of penetration I got and to try and recover the bullet. Mind you I shot this fox at 15 feet square in the chest, I recover the bullet 4 inches into it's chest! Thats right.. I got a whopping 4" of penetration at 15" from the Winchester silvertip ammo in 45acp. I'd been caring this ammo for self defense every day up to this point. Now the inside of this hen killing machine was like jelly, you couldn't tell what was what in the fist 1/4 of that critter but only 4" of penetration on a 20lb dog? WTF so I unloaded my three mags of that ammo and replaced it with some PDX1. I can't wait to do some more experimentation but if this is how a 45acp acts across the board with hollow point ammo I may need to switch to the 40 S&W wound and maim or even the +p 9mm Critical defense. I also could get the 10mm upper slide and mag for my 45 frame and call it good. Just though I would share this little story and would like to hear of you all have had any similarly disappointing results from so called "personal defense ammo". |

Also the recovered bullet was separated from the jacket, The combined wight of the jacket and lead was 173grs. Pretty good weight retention but again only 4". Maybe I'm expecting to much from my ammo but the reviews of this ammo do not match what I had experienced with a very dainty little animal, Glad I never had to use it on a hopped up bad guy weighing 200+ lbs. |

I was at my Mom's home deep in the east Texas woods between Burkville and Hemphill. Someone had dumped a mutt out on the hiway and it was preying on Mom's chickens. As I was driving out one afternoon on the dirt road I saw it hiding in the tall grass. I stopped my truck and shot it straight into the front of it's chest with my Colt Combat Commander in 9mm. I don't remember what brand name the ammo was, but I do know they were hollow points. The dog was about 35 or 40 lbs and between 20 and 25 feet from me. He just sat back on his haunches and rolled over. I had expected him to be knocked back some. So I was surprised and disappointed at the lack of knock down power. I'd like to hear a story about someone witnessing some real knock down and what ammo did it. |

That is why I shoot fmj in every handgun I have with a bbl less than 4 inches. The bullets don't have enough distance to reach "hp" working velocity. I read somewhere, that it takes a "hp" to be traveling abt 900fps to work as designed, out of a short bbl pistol, the velocity will be in the 700-850 fps range. I shot a 30 lb boar coon at 20-25 ft with a Glock 19, 9mm 115gr fmj, standard velocity. It hit just about in the left shoulder , and, exited abt half an inch to the right of his rectum, dropped in his tracks. I belive in complete penetration, 2 holes to bleed out of. I have never been pleased with "HP ammo preformance out of a short bbl handgun. Therefore, my bullets, traveling at 800fps, or less, will most likely punch a very deep hole. Longer bbl, different story all together, the HP's will start to do what they do, as they will be kickin along at a higher speed. JMO. WALI...................... |

Johnny; there is no such thing as `knock down`. Physics tells us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If any cartridge would knock someone down it would also knock the shooter down. What most people see and believe is knock down is simply muscle contractions in reaction to the bullet strike. If you sit on a thumbtack you will jump but the tack has no `knockdown power. OMJ; the winchester silvertip hollowpoint has a poor reputation in law enforcement in all calibers and is rarely used and then mostly because alternatives are not available. Cor-Bon is mostly recommended and if available Cor-Bons Powerball is 100% reliable because of the phenoloc ball in the hollowpoint that gives positive feeding and keeps the hollowpoint from collapsing in on itself. I had some of crew go to Kosavo and Corbon supplied some powerball for real world testing and my people came back requesting it for duty use before it was readily available. Good stuff. axolotl |

For pest control call 1-800-ass- splat--- wife is rough on armidillos and squirrels,but weapon would be tough to holster. Shot coyote about 15 yds with 4in redhawk 200gr hornady jhp in front of 18 grs of accurate powder. I hit him dead in chest and it stopped 3/4 of way through and made mush. I would have thought it would have gone through. |

Wali, I got Really good expansion in my experience ( I'll post pics of the bullet) but just very little penetration. Axo, Thanks for the info, Here is my "issue" with power ball ammo, I know it's got a great rep, but what about when I need to shoot through concealment or light cover? I now they make two different types ( summer and winter I call them) but what about when I need to penetrate a car door, or some something to that affect? I see what you have recommend but what are your experiences with the Hornady Critical defense if any? I can not legally carry and don't want to carry my hand loads but at home I do have my hand loads loaded with frangible in my none carry guns. |

Have to agree with AX, in all the test results i have read the Silver Tips are down the list in the also ran column.Always Hydra shok and Carbon are always finish either first or second. |

OMJ; no hollowpoint will give acceptable reliable penetration on car doors, specially on the older heavily built cars that frequent the ghetto. I mix my ammo with hardball. The round in the barrel is powerball. The top three rounds in the mag are hardball followed by alternating the two. Spare mags are pure hardball as i conclude both me and any opponents will have made cover by then. I have small supply of the old Hornasdy 230 gr flat point hardball. You have shot enough to observe that flat point bullets leave a cookie cutter type hole in a target. They react the same on tissue allowing blood leakage and air passage into the wound cavity. Air in the body cavity will make the lungs collapse and shut down oxygen supply to the system therefore shutting everything down. A small point i admit but i want it on my side. A bit gruesome to talk about but then this is not a pleasant topic. The Hornady flat point has been discontinued but there are some other flat point hardball cartridges out there. They are of a lighter weight but still give the same results. axolotl |

More great Info Axo, THANKS! Unfortunately here in CA they look down on us carrying hard ball ammo for personal defense, It's not banned but the lawyer's are concerned with over penetration and the potential for innocents of been struck with a through and through shot. We know we should always be aware of our shots and factor in the over penetration but the prosecuting side will defiantly weigh in on the fact that solids were used for SD. I like the idea of staggering rounds and you are 100% correct in that I'll be finding cover or concealment after the first few rounds and then the more solid type of projectiles would come in to play. Not that you suggested it but the idea of doing an unnecessary mag change in the middle of a fire fight just to fire different projectiles down range is out of the question. I train on slide lock re-loads but also set up scenarios where their could be a "pause" in the action and to retain my partial mag and top the handgun off with a fresh mag. I have an attorney that will represent us if the time ever comes if I or my family need to use deadly force to protect our selfs or our loved ones and he is of the side of using what the police use in my specific area, PDX1. But he also agrees in " I'd rather be judged my 12 then carried by 6 ". Either way in the state I live in things will get messy if I need to use deadly force but I'm re-thinking things after the fox incident. Had that been a mountain lion... we'll I'd rather not even go there. LOL Wally world carries the Hydra-shok ammo, I just need to stop farting around and do some testing so I feel confident in what I'm carrying. I was given the silver tips and had read some good things about them that they were able to dump a tremendous amount of energy very quickly but what good does that do if they never enter the chest cavity? As far as a face shot I could never see them getting past the teeth and jaw bone. SO yep... I now have some more range ammo! LOL What an eye opener! |

TOP 10 San Diego Trip Moments:
1- Hotel and Staff were absolutely OUTSTANDING! I have never, ever had a combination of hotel quality, location, room size, cleanliness, view, all around accommodations AND an ENTIRE staff that was beyond helpful going WAY out of their way to help and to be friendly. Seriously….. when planning this trip I kept forgetting where we were staying, but I know I will never forget the name again. Pacific Terrace Hotel in San Diego @ Mission Beach. Perfection….. That is why it is my #1
2- My LONG walks on the beach by myself…early morning, late afternoon, early evening….whenever. It was joyous and thought provoking. It was cleansing, refreshing, emotional, and it took me back to growing up in VB and all those walks I took so many years ago.
3- Despite the the lack of sun, which was the main reason I was so excited to go, I truly enjoyed my beach days. I just sat….sometimes in the warmth of the fleeting rays of sun peeking through the cloud cover, and sometimes in my bathing suit with a jacket. Either way I was in my own little bit of heaven. Similar to my longs walks, just sitting and watching the waves crash in, the people jog past, the surfers paddle out, the families enjoying themselves just gave me such a calm peace. There is no other way to describe it, but calm peace. As Eric wanted me to do, I actually "vacated" and focused on me…and nothing and no one else. It was a good dose of the perfect medicine.
4- One of the things I thought about was Coast to Coast….Sunrise in the East and Sunset in the West. I wonder if which coast we gravitate to has anything to do with our attitudes on how we live our day to day lives? Do you prefer the East Coast where you can see each day dawn again and again and know that for the next twelve hours or so that you have a blank slate and you get to write your day. You can begin each new unwritten day and challenge yourself to BE and DO amazing things. OR, do you prefer the West Coast and as the sun sets you can reflect on how you spent that day of your life…..did you make a difference to someone, or did you LIVE that day to it's fullest? Like a page turning in a book, was your day filled with worthwhile words? Just a thought……
5-Footprints: As I walked and walked and walked and walked some more, I loved looking at the footprints of those who had just walked before me. Specifically I got a bit emotional when I saw a set of large footprints and then three times as many little tiny ones directly beside them….obviously a little one walking with mom or dad. It just touched me.
6- Footprints #2 – Still walking and looking at the footprints before me I realized that of course I couldn't see my own footprints that were left behind me. An obvious enough realization, but then I wondered if anyone else saw MY footprints and had the same thoughts. Did my footprints give them direction?
7-Each day I would pick up the girls at the Old Town Transit Station after they rode the trolley back from Comic-Con. I would hug them once they got off, partly because I missed them and partly because I was so relieved to see them and have them in my care again. Then after I hugged them an old man who looked as though life was giving him a challenge was walking in the opposite direction and said, "Do I get a hug too?" I said, "Of course! Everyone could use a good hug, right?!" I gave him a big hug and he hugged back just a bit tighter. He smiled and said, "Yes they could"….his smile spread from ear to ear and I feel like his day was just a bit brighter at that moment. I know hugging strangers makes many people uncomfortable, but to me it's a little squeeze of life and a reminder that they matter, and that they are loved….even by strangers.
8- Despite that fact that my sunny vacation wasn't as sunny as I wanted, I will admit that there is something about San Diego in general that drew me in. I still can't put my finger on it, but I liked it…. Not that I WANT to live there, but I COULD see myself living there…..and I'll admit that it surprises me to say that. Virginia has always been my home.
9- I did it! I flew across the country, without my partner who is always in charge when it comes to vacations and who keeps me calm and reassured. I found my way around and drove the interstate in California, (thanks to the GPS in my rental car), solved problems as they came up, managed to enjoy myself….a lot……didn't freak out, and felt INVISIBLE. At first I was a little weirded out that no one paid any attention to me. (other than the hotel staff who was very attentive). But just strangers….no one looked at me, no passerbys gave a glance, no one stared at me like I had something on my face or that my hair was sticking up or that I reminded them of someone, and no one even gave me the "look" and eyed me up and down. No one. No one gave me a SECOND look because no one gave me a FIRST look. In truth, I felt invisible. It was almost like I didn't matter….which was actually rather calming.
10- Spending four days in a beach community took me back to high school. I'd look at all the couples who walked the beach together holding hands, the girlfriends who sat and watched while their boyfriends surfed, the guys who tried to one up each other with a spectacular frisbee catch or volleyball serve. I remembered being that girl, walking on the beach, waiting for her boyfriend to take a break from the 'waves', and I smiled. I am thankful that I grew up where I did, when I did, and for sharing my high school years with those I did. I wouldn't change a thing about my life and where all those experiences and all those people led me. I'm sure glad I'm not in high school anymore, but it was nice to reflect. Which leads me to my last moment: There was a teenage boy who looked to be about 18 or 19, a man who clearly was his father, and another man who was clearly HIS father. Three generations of men all throwing the football to each other. And I mean throwing! They were serious, very talented, and if I could guess based on all three of their build, arm, distance and accuracy, football must have played a big part of their lives….maybe even when THEY were in high school? It was just fun to watch, no real poignant moment, just a full circle thought. Much like those footprints I saw before me and the ones I couldn't see behind me, these men represented the same. You know where you've been, but you continue to move forward and hope someone is inspired or intrigued enough to follow YOUR footprints.
Thanks San Diego, you're alright.

Air Force Duo Places Second At Lobo Invite Tennis Tournament
Sept. 30, 2001 Lobo Invite Results in PDF Format Air Force senior Brooke Parsons and sophomore Laura Nigro advanced to the finals of the doubles bracket at the New Mexico Lobo Invitational Tennis Tournament Sunday before losing to Liina Suuvarik and Alesia Mikalayvea of Illinois State, 8-6. Parsons and Nigro won three matches en route to the final match, including two wins over teams from Mountain West Conference foe New Mexico. The pair defeated Courtney Choate and Sandy Lukowski of >UNM, 8-4, in the semifinals. They beat Tiffany Robertson and Regula Comtesse of UNM, 8-4, in the first round, and Michelle Mohr and Kirsten Balk of Northern Arizona, 8-2, in the second round. The Falcons were not as fortunate in singles play, however, as senior Ashley Gee was the only player to win her first round match, defeating Shelby Lipton of Illinois State, 6-2, 6-1. Gee lost to Lukowski of UNM, 6-0, 6-3, in the second round. Gee then went on to win both of her consolation matches against Tatyana Ugorich of Illinois State (6-4, 6-2) and Maria Ruiz-Fabrega of UNM (6-4, 7-6). Parsons, who enters the season as the team's No. 1 singles player, also won two consolation matches in three sets, defeating Rachel Hatley of UNM, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, and Tiffany Robertson of UNM, 3-6, 7-5, 6-0. The Falcons return to action this Thursday, Oct. 4, as they play their first two home matches of the season against Division II opponents Colorado Christian (9 a.m.) and Abilene Christian (1 p.m.).

How about some discussion of "goals" to drive the requirements? For example, is it a goal of the RFP to specify a tool set that would be so good that people would pay to use it? My reaction to the text in the announcement of the RFP is that the overall objectives are ill-defined. to enhance remote participation at IETF meetings, interim and virtual working group meetings. What does "to enhance" mean in this context? If I was at all interested in bidding on this new piece of spec development work, I would either ask for a lot more clarity on the desired goals of "enhanced" remote participation, or I would propose that the first phase of the project should be focused on developing some consensus on this. +1 to John Klensin's view that if the RFP had been reviewed by the community before publication, it would have been better. Regards, Ed J. -----Original Message----- From: John C Klensin <john-ietf(_at_)jck(_dot_)com> Sender: ietf-bounces(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:41:22 To: Phillip Hallam-Baker<hallam(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com> Cc: <iaoc(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>; <ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>; <wgchairs(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org> Subject: Re: Anotherj RFP without IETF community input (was: Re: RFP for Remote Participation Services Specifications Development) --On Thursday, October 20, 2011 15:21 -0400 Phillip Hallam-Baker <hallam(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com> wrote: One thing to consider is charging for this service I have no problem paying some fee to the IETF in order to get better remote participation capability when I am unable to travel to the location chosen. I would much rather pay $200-$300 to have good remote attendance capability (video etc.) than get by on 'free'. ... Hi. As others have pointed out, this is an RFP about writing a requirements spec. Please examine the announcement and RFP (I assume the latter is authoritative, but am not sure) to determine whether you think the RFP should require that a contractor include studying this issue as part of the task. Perhaps it is. If so, you should be objecting to the RFP itself. If not, this type of comment should probably be raised when the first draft I-D shows up. IMO, the question of "environments" to be examined is definitely insufficient in the RFP, not because it prohibits a contractor from doing or proposing anything else (as Bob points out, it doesn't) but because I believe a draft requirements specification would be completely inadequate unless some or all of those issues -- especially issues with meetings that do not conform to the paragraph starting "Each session..." in the "Background" part of the SOW in the RFP -- were addressed. Similarly, I don't think the RFP is adequate unless it insists on proposals in which applicants provide details about their plans for "conducting interviews" with the various listed parties. Some of those groups, especially those who have actually participated remotely in one or more meetings but normally attend in person and those who almost always participate remotely, are often underrepresented in IETF considerations and easily blown off, especially if the contractor expects all interviews to be completed in the IETF 82 timeframe. Without such a requirement, we could easily find ourselves in a situation in which a contractor said "we bid on the basis of resources to conduct interviews that week; if additional interviews are needed, you will need to adjust the terms". I cite those as examples of comments on the RFP in the hope of making the distinction between such comments and an attempt to pre-discuss the I-D that will presumably come out of this process. best, john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf

The lure of Dubai's malls
Malls are some of Dubai's biggest attractions. But do they continue to attract tourists and residents like they used to, in spite of the financial crisis?
July 11, 2009 8:37 by Dana El Baltaji
Apparently not. Footfalls in malls throughout Dubai are on the rise. Mall of the Emirates recorded over 100,000 visitors on the opening day of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) 2009 (June 11), Al Bawada reported in June.
The 12-hour opening ceremony was the lengthiest in DSS' 12-year history.
"The ambience at the mall was simply superb," Fuad Sharaf, vice president, Mall of the Emirates, said. "There were surprises and activities being announced every hour and our footfall figures were up by about 20 percent from our average weekend traffic, with a corresponding increase in sales," he added.
Similarly, Nakheel reported a rise in footfall in its malls, claiming it recorded a 20 percent increase in visitors during the first five months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008.
"Footfall at Ibn Battuta increased by about 5 percent, while Dragon Mart saw a rise of 20 percent," David Thurling, managing director, Nakheel Retail Shopping Malls, told Emirates Business.
"This is exceptional in light of current market conditions. Footfall was slightly down in early June and we believe this was largely due to people holding back on retail expenditure until the Dubai Summer Surprises sales were in full swing."
Exceptional indeed, but not surprising. The financial crisis may have succeeded in scaremongering consumers into believing every dirham spent is a dirham lost, but crisis or not, consumers continue to require entertainment.

At the G20 Summit in Cannes, world leaders agreed for the first time to commit to sustainably increase agricultural production and productivity in order to feed a world population expected to reach more than 9 billion people by 2050. To that end, they estimated that agricultural production will have to increase by 70% over the same period. In order to achieve this goal, agreement was reached to further invest in the agriculture sectors of the poorest countries. Furthermore, it was established that market information and transparency should improve in order to make international markets for agricultural commodities more effective and mitigate the adverse effects of excessive price volatility.

China's Dalian Wanda is on the hunt for more U.S. theater companies to buy to add to its AMC Entertainment holding, according to Chairman Wang Jianlin. The conglomerate may also look to get into the movie-making business by partnering with a major studio such as Sony (SNE), Lions Gate (LGF), or 20th Century Fox (CMCSA).

Reading International (RDI) would also be a perfect candidate for Wanda, not only for its sizable >70% market share in Hawaii, and Angelika Film Center franchise (all contributing to RDI being #11 in US) but also for its #4 market share in Australia and #3 share in New Zealand AND its substantial developable real estate in all three countries – after all Wanda's roots are real estate development.

Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance kept the crowd laughing as he told one funny story and joke after another during the Abilene Chamber of Commerce Annual Membership Meeting and Banquet at the Civic Center Tuesday.
What really made everyone in the audience giggle uncontrollably was when he wiped his nose with a Texas A&M 12th Man towel given to him by outgoing chamber Chairman Doug McIntyre.
"I just couldn't help myself," Hance quipped.
In between the jokes, Hance, an energetic speaker, talked about the continuing relationship between Texas Tech and Abilene, along with possible additional opportunities for the two to work together, the changing business model of higher education and his vision for business and education partnership.
Texas Tech has made sizable investments in Abilene, including a pharmacy school and a nursing school which is currently under construction.
"This school will not be here without your support," Hance said, adding Texas Tech is going to "be doing some other things," in cooperation with the city. "Abilene is taking its first step in the right direction."
"My vision of Abilene is optimistic," the chancellor said. "Your cooperation allows us to do things we couldn't do in other places."
Hance likened what could happen in Abilene to what happened in El Paso, where Texas Tech Health Sciences Center is thriving.
"There is a vision. Be it five years or 10 years from now, I don't know," he said. "Abilene has a vision (for higher education) and your chamber makes you realize that vision."
As chancellor, Hance oversees 12 Texas Tech campuses, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Angelo State University. Hance also served as Texas state senator, U.S. congressman for the 19th district and the Texas Railroad Commission.
Hance told the approximately 640 people who attended the event that opportunities are similar to fishing: "Some get away, but you continue fishing."
"You'll never find a better community than Abilene, Texas," he concluded.

Time-consuming compliance documents mean some brokers are having to turn business away.
Kellie Lam of Abacus Home Loans has told Australian Broker TV that the complexity of NCCP disclosure documentation and the time involved has hurt her business.
"The timeframe involved is dramatic cost-wise. Our business actually did drop because of the process," Lam said.
Lam said her business is part of the 1300 Home Loans network, and had to reject leads because of the paperwork burden.
"We could not actually take more clients in. We had to reject clients. When given leads, we had to turn them away," she said.
Vicki Grey of Gadens Lawyers agrees that the paperwork involved in disclosure represents a burden on brokers. But Grey said the complexity of the disclosure documents also hurts consumers.
"In think the disclosure document regulations are very complex, and they're unnecessarily complex. The problem at the moment is you have so much disclosure, and when you have so much disclosure we find that consumers tend to turn off," she said.
For more on the complexity of disclosure docs, and the MFAA campaign to simplify the process, see our exclusive report on Australian Broker TV.

Top marks to the editor for publishing my previous email. I have written to Tony Abbott through his website with my above views and perhaps if you agree with me then you could also write to him also. Draconian regultaion is killing our our nation by stealth and we need to put a stop to it.
NCCP is unconstitutional and has to be scraped. End of story!!! We don`t need ASIC or ACCC either as they are only a burden invented by beauricrats that don`t have a clue.
Salespeople are traditionally pretty ordinary at doing paperwork. As such, I tend to concur with many of the above commenters that suggest that it may be an individual's own work practices causing grief rather than the documents themselves. Sure, they're an extra layer of complication, but they take perhaps 10 minutes to produce. If brokers are finding that these documents are taking up that much time, maybe they need to hire an admin assistant to free them up from paperwork, thus freeing them up to sell?
I would have to say that if this article represents the true facts, then no wonder legislation was needed in the first place. Seriously, if you are having trouble telling clients the facts and using the prescribed documents, then you probably have always been taking short cuts. It is interesting that at least two of the responses have come from WA. These are well trained professionals who don't take short cuts and treat the process with the respect it deserves.This is your client's largest financial decision, the least you can do is take your time in getting the correct information from them. A little bit of care at the beginning, will eliminate all the problems on the other end.
Agree with Ken & qedrisk & John. If compliance documents are taking too long, then no doubt your forms are poorly constructed. ACL holders have to take responsibility for that. But really, turning away clients because of compliance obligations?? Send 'em over.
I agree, its a straight forward process. It is a bit clunky and can be improved but for me its not a road block to servicing customers.
Death by a thousand cuts - is what's happening to brokers, and this extra NCCP compliance burden is another in a long line. You only have to look at Fin Planners to know what's in store for brokers.Never the less, I agree that aggregator NCCP docs are ridiculously verbose and lengthy. They are put together by 'compliance' people who have no understanding of the commercial reality. It is a Licensees responsibility to formulate docs that comply, and also commercially viable. They are the responsible entity in ASIC's eyes. With you compliance docs, comply certainly, but slim them down absolutely, and automate them on excel to reduce repartition and calculation time.And aggregators are confused. Many of them think they are a licensee. These days they are an unnecessary and costly layer in a broker's business. My aggregator has gone from a being a help, to being a hindrance. We really don't need them at all these days. Look at the Fin Planning model, they don't have aggregators, they have licensees. If you're a licensee, then be one in the Fin Planning model, and get rid of your aggregator.
Sorry folks, I respectfully disagree. If disclosure docs are eating up too much time, you're doing it wrong. For 98% of deals, using totally manual documents, most brokers should be spending no more than 10 minutes a deal on preparation of these docs - even less if your broking platform automates the docs for you. I see too many (mostly aggregator-provided) docs that are far too complex and "lawyered-up" to the max. The only thing about NCCP that should be taking your time up is perhaps more careful note-taking than you used to do.
I must be on another planet?The documents used now, apart from some changes to the logos, are very similar to those I was using immediately prior to NCCP. Yes the privacy document (Credit Guide) might be longer, and yes there can some repetition between Credit Assessment and Credit Proposal documents, but in the main I am taking the same time to do my interviews as i always have.If anything needs to be adjusted it is the disparity between real estate and NCCP legislation. Costs? we have to have a few more files, but then that is only good business and I have never had a case where the client has been fazed.
am I a one out , if you use a CERM that popultaes all your disclosure documents it is not that difficult , get the credit disclosure out immediatly the client is in as an enquiry and then collect the information (you should know hat that is) and then the system if it is a good one should Generate all that you need to give the cleint ready for signing automitacally.I am not that technically minded and i can do this and do not find it a burden.
spot on, some much red tape that you could almost mistake yourself for having some governement office position where productivity only applies to the mining sector.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We used the enclosure card as a Details card, instead of a Directions card. We included how to RSVP, our website information, and a small description about the reception. Quality of the paper and printing were excellent for our barn themed reception. Highly recommend!"
"This Direction card is a wonderful addtion to our wedding invitations. The quality of the paper and ink is excellent. We are thrilled that Wedding Paper Divas offered this card because so many of our guests are traveling in for our wedding in December. It is so beautiful with the hint of the flower at the top."
"These turned out excellent. Wish I would have thought to get another set and have hotel/registry information on instead of trying to print them out myself after the fact."
"I was able, with the help of the Wedding Paper Divas staff, to fit so much information on this card for my guests. And it looks great, not over crowded. The alignment of the text compliments the design well. I was very worried at how this would turn out because I tried to include not only directions but hotel information as well. I couldn't be more pleased."
"We used this card as 'extra info' regarding transportation to/from ceremony and reception, post-wedding picnic, and our registry. As always, the product was processed and shipped far sooner than projected and we were very satisfied with it's quality."

Actor Yoo Seung Ho will be transforming into the Great Jade Emperor for MBC's upcoming drama, "Arang and the Magistrate" and the show has revealed his official character photo.
The actor will be making a special appearance on the show in the role. This ruler of the Heavens has an interest in women, peaches, art, and betting…(interesting…)
Yoo Seung Ho commented, "I wanted to create a new image that is different from the standard Great Jade Emperor."
"Arang and the Magistrate" is about the ghost, Arang (Shin Min Ah) who dies an unfair death but lost her memory. The District Magistrate Eun Oh (Lee Jun Ki) is the only one that can see her and will be helping her solve the mystery behind her death.
The show will begin in August.
Hmm…I'm not sure how i'm feeling about this attire on Yoo Seung Ho. I think I preferred his look as 'Woon' on "Warrior Baek Dong Soo" better…when his hair was tame and not like a crazy person's. What do you think of Yoo Seung Ho's look?

perfect. If Lee Junki wasn't enough to make me want to watch the drama, Yoo Seungho definitely does the trick.

According to commodities analyst Dominic Schnider, loosening monetary policy may release more liquidity into financial markets but that's not going to be the main driver of prices. Global demand continues to be the key driver of the natural resources sector, and as long as appetite from China - the world's biggest consumer - remains weak, prices will remain soft.
"At the end of the day, what needs to happen with cheap monetary policy, or loose monetary policy, is that demand gets really activated," Schnider, Head Commodity Research, UBS Wealth Management told CNBC Asia's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday.
"And if we don't see demand getting activated at the end, you are not going to see the kind of inflation that you want."
Some of the liquidity that was added by central banks in recent easing moves has been kept in banks and "not unleashed into the market and into credit activity," he said, adding that there is no reason to believe that the next measure will be any different.
In fact, Schnider is not expecting any quantitative easing at all from central banks. The most that will happen is monetary policy from China, which still has the room to cut reserve requirement ratios or interest rates for its banks, after two surprise rate cuts in June and earlier this month.
Interest rates set by the European Central Bank, Federal Reserve and Bank of England are already at all-time lows and the Bank of Japan has been hesitant to boost its asset-buying program after setting aside about 40 trillion yen ($505 billion) as Governor Masaaki Shirakawa has repeatedly insisted that that the policy is not sustainable.
U.S. Federal Reserve will hold its next meetings on July 31 and August 1, with bond firms polled by Reuters seeing a 50 percent chance that Chairman Ben Bernanke will announce another bond buying program. The Fed had held off on another round of asset purchasing in June.
In the meantime, a lack of any real demand will curb prices for commodities from base and precious metals and grains until at least the fourth quarter, Schnider said. Gold, for example, is "heavily oversupplied" and will trend lower.
Schnider's views counter those of commodity bulls like Jim Rogers, who believes that quantitative easing will drive up the value of hard assets. The renowned commodities investor is long real assets, such as gold, silver and agricultural commodities.
Commodities Spooked by Europe, Global Growth Concerns
A combination of Europe's debt crisis and concerns over global economic growth have triggered a selloff in risk assets like commodities.
Spot gold (Exchange:XAU=) has fallen about 17.8 percent since touching an all-time high of $1,918 in September last year. It traded unchanged at $1,577 an ounce in early Asian trade on Tuesday. Copper (CEC:Commodities Exchange Centre: HGCV1) has declined about 16 percent this year and is now trading at $3.37, while iron ore, the main material in steel, is trading at an 8-month low of $123.60 a metric ton.
It's equally bearish in the oil markets. Fresh worries over Spain saw crude prices tumbling for a second straight session on Monday. Brent September crude (Intercontinental Exchange Europe: LCOCV1) fell more than 3 percent to $103.26 a barrel and U.S. crude fell 4 percent to $88.14. Year to date, Brent is down about 9 percent, while Nymex crude (New York Mercantile Exchange: CLCV1) has fallen 15 percent.
Yudee Chang, Principal and Chief Advisor of ACE Investment Strategists, a trading and fund management firm based in Virginia, U.S., says beyond weak demand, a flood of supply will keep oil prices soft. He expects oil to fall "below or around $50 per barrel" over the next two years.
"I really believe that over a longer-term basis, let's say the next 2 years, there's going to be so much supply coming on line," Chang told CNBC Asia's "Squawk Box". "However, over the short term, there are a lot of headline news events, a lot of geopolitical events that will make energy prices oscillate and chop its way down."
In the short term, oil supply may be disrupted by turmoil in Syria and tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear program. Investors could use the volatility to buy high and sell low, Chang said.
