A template is a type of Joomla! extension that changes the way your site looks. There are two types of templates used by the Joomla! CMS: Front-end Templates and Back-end Templates. The Front-end Template controls the way your website is presented to the user viewing the website's content. The Back-end Template controls the way your website's administrative tasks are presented for controlling management functions by a Joomla! Administrator. These would include common tasks such as: user, menu, article, category, module, component, plugin and template management.

Front-end templates change the way your site looks to average users. Most of the templates you use will be Front-end Templates. Two Front-end templates come preinstalled with Joomla!: rhuk_milkyway and beez.
Back-end Templates are much rarer than Frontend Templates. You will probably never need to change your Back-end Template. Back-end Templates allow you to change the way the administrator interface looks.
There are some wonderful templates that were made in the template contest. There are also many websites where both free and non-free Joomla! templates can be downloaded.
If you are interested in creating your own template than there are a few thing that you might want to know before you start. first you will need to know CSS, HTML, and PHP. Joomla! has created a tutorial for those how would like to create their own template.

Chamber of Commerce to Grow Its Legal Arm, CEO SaysLegal Times 2013-01-11 13:08:26.0 As American businesses brace for a flood of new regulations in 2013, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is strengthening its legal defenses, Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Donohue said on Thursday. Delivering the Chamber's annual state of American business address at the organization's Washington headquarters, Donohue said his group will "significantly expand the expertise" of its public policy law firm, the National Chamber Litigation Center, to fight regulations that hurt businesses. The Chamber is particularly concerned about regulations stemming from the Dodd-Frank financial reform and health care laws, as well as from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, he said. "Our preference is always to work within the legislative and regulatory processes and we do that on a daily basis," said Donohue, who has led the Chamber for 15 years."But when rights have been trampled on, or regulators have overstepped their bounds, well then we'll just take the necessary legal action." In addition to efforts to respond to more regulations, the Chamber this year will focus on developing more U.S. energy, increasing American trade, reforming immigration and tackling the fiscal crisis with a plan that includes spending cuts, entitlement reform and a tax code overhaul, Donohue said. The Chamber is ready to "proudly and vigorously" represent U.S. businesses in the battles ahead this year, he said. The group spent $74.4 million on federal lobbying during the first three quarters of 2012, according to congressional records. "Business is not the problem," Donohue said. "It is business that creates jobs high-quality, well-paying jobs and jobs and business are the solution. Our leaders in government need to understand this."

Cyndi Lauper brings She's So Unusual to Chicago Theatre: photos
Perhaps no '80s girl-pop album holds up better than Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual. From the smash hits to the Prince cover to the neon reggae to the manic Valley Girl new-wave of "I'll Kiss You" and "Yeah Yeah," the record shows a ton of range. Lauper sounded like a girl who listened to Bowie, Kate Bush, Devo and the Specials. Revisit it.
That's just what the 60-year-old singer is doing on her latest tour (yeah, it's weird to think that she was 30 when "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" came out, not 18). The New York City native brought her She's So Unusual 30th Anniversary tour to Chicago Theatre on November 1. After playing the ten-song LP in full, she dove into successive chart successes from the era, like "Goonies 'R' Good Enough" and "True Colors." No word on whether Sloth and Chunk came out.
Chicago bartenders make their own amari
If you've ever wanted to mix up drinks at home like Mike Ryan, now's your chance—the Sable bartender and three others (Barrelhouse Flat's Stephen Cole and Fion Wine & Spirits' Greg Miesch and Bob Adams) worked with Seattle-based BroVo spirits to craft their own bitter liqueurs, which are bottled and available at Binny's. Read our story here.
Derrick Rose returns to United Center: photos
The return of Derrick Rose has not been as storybook as his Adidas commercial foresaw. The Bulls have opened the 2013–14 season with one win and two losses. The most recent L came at the hands of the supposedly tanking, surprisingly feisty Sixers. Rose is sporting black tape on his nape to combat a sore neck. He is shooting 28.8 percent on the season. But those new D Rose 4 kicks he's wearing are rather awesome.
Still, the hometown hero scrapped and delivered a last-second W over the creamsicle Knicks on Halloween. Fans were pumped to see the local icon. And largely in costume. We hit the United Center to capture the scene.
The best dance club and EDM events in November
Kavinsky Inspired by '80s films and Italian muscle cars, French house producer Kavinsky boosted himself from cult status to mainstay via Hollywood soundtracks, The Lincoln Lawyer and Drive. The Daft Punk associate and Lovefoxxx collaborator's rhythms stay true to their inspiration—"Ferrari Testarossa" sounds like a sleek drive through the Alps. His debut long-player, OutRun, might be a good alternative for those that thought Random Access Memories a bit flabby—it's 100% European turbo-charged synth-rock. Tonight, he's in live mode. Metro. Nov 7 at 9pm. $21.
French Express North America Tour 2013: Perseus + Jonas Rathsman + Moon Boots + Isaac Tichauer Upstart nu-disco and house label French Express has quietly built a stable of artists and tracks with an enviable cachet in the dance underground. This month, some of its bigger names join forces for a 10-day jaunt across our continent. Sounds range from the soulful but lightly rendered house of Perseus to the tropical boogie of Jonas Rathsman. Primary. Nov 7 at 10pm. $20–$25.
5 concerts to see this week: Nov 4–10
UPDATE: As we expected, Kanye West's two shows at United Center this week have been postponed. But the Kavinsky and John Legend concerts should help fill the hole in your heart.
Kanye West + Kendrick Lamar Oh, sweet Yeezus! Kim Kardashian's baby daddy is embarking on his first solo tour in five years, with Kendrick Lamar in tow. Perhaps. The custom-built 60-foot circular video screen (that hangs behind the giant mountain from which Yeezy descends) was bashed up in a truck accident. Which has thrown this visit, and the entire tour, in question. (As of this morning, the concert is still scheduled.) One can not pop into Best Buy and pick up a new 60-foot round LED display. Man. We really want to see Kanye rap behind a gold mask and spit with Jesus. These things actually happen. United Center. Nov 7, 9 at 7:30pm. $35–$150.
Charlie XCX The Britneys, Mileys, Katies and Ladies of the radio waves can give up. No megastar in 2013 is topping the pure pop thrills of Charli XCX's debut, True Romance (well, perhaps Sky Ferreira). Teenagers are smarter than the mainstream treats them. For every high schooler hoisting a red Solo cup filled with sorbet-flavored diet vodka to the dumb thump of Selena Gomez, there is one reading Chekhov and Rookie under posters of Theda Bara and Siouxsie Sioux. Charlotte Aitchison, a.k.a. Charli, bridges the worlds of goths, jocks, pretty girls, theater kids, shopaholics and brains. In other words, she's the Breakfast Club balled into one. She can open for Coldplay and give Pitchfork a boner. The only downside to this bargain gig is that those under 18 are not allowed. I mean, Tavi Gevinson can't get in? Schubas. Nov 6 at 7, 10pm. $15.
4 best dance club events: Nov 4–10
This is a rather fantastic week for concerts. Perhaps the best of the year. Be sure to check out more hot tickets like Kanye West and Sparks in our weekly top live shows post.
Kavinsky + Simian Mobile Disco Three decades ago, Charlie Sheen made a flick called The Wraith in which he played a vengeful cosmic ghost sporting black leather and an opaque racing helmet while terrorizing dirtbags in the desert with a Dodge Turbo Interceptor coupe. I saw it on HBO dozens of times as a kid. I'm guaranteeing Vincent "Kavinsky" Belorgey obsessed over it in France. His long-await 2013 debut album, OutRun, is concept album about a teenage zombie who fuses with a Ferrari Testarossa ("the same color as Mars"). In the 1980s, of course. Named for a Sega racing video game, the record is deep fetishism of neon arcades. And it is awesome. The oozing, dry keyboards and synthetic thunder drums will sound immediately familiar to Justice junkies and Daft Punk lovers. In fact, the robot head of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo pops up to coproduce "Nightcall," which played over the opening credits of Drive. Live, expect lights, bass and letter jackets. Metro. Nov 7 at 9pm. $21, 18 and older.
5 things to do today: Monday, November 4
Paul Sietsema In his most comprehensive exhibition to date, the L.A.-based artist explores image-making—"a less significant event than it used to be," he explains—via film, drawings, paintings and other works on paper. The goal of his labor-and time-intensive works is to restore some signficance to the act of capturing an image. Museum of Contemporary Art. 10am–6pm.
The Second City's Improv All-Stars It's the same old improv games we've seen a hundred times before, but played to perfection by a whip-smart team of pros who manage to create laughs out of thin air and aren't afraid to go off-color when appropriate. The legendary Mick Napier directs (and it shows). UP Comedy Club. 8pm. $16.
5 things to do today: Sunday, November 3
"Lisa Alvarado: The Traditional Object" For her second show at Drag City's Soccer Club Club, Chicago-based artist Lisa Alvarado presents her fringed banners incorporating fabric, embroidery and paint. The bold, double-sided tapestries are both formal in their references to ceremonial crafts, such as indigenous banner-making, as well as colorfully abstract. Soccer Club Club. 3–5pm. Free.
Auteurs of Obsession: David Fincher & Darren Aronofsky Doc Films draws connections between the Hollywood auteurs Aronofsky and Fincher, kindred directorial spirits focusing heavily on pain (both physical and emotional) and the obsessions that correlate with that pain. Selections from the directors' '90's and '00's oeuvre such as Se7en (1995), Requiem for a Dream (2000), Zodiac (2007), The Wrestler (2008) and more will be shown for ten weeks. Ida Noyes Hall, University of Chicago. 1pm. $5.
5 things to do today: Saturday, November 2
"Rusty Shackleford: Dream Feeder" and "Katie Torn: Dream House" Two new exhibitions at Root & Culture are the stuff dreams are made of. For his scanner-based experiments with "color, light, paint and discard," Shackleford uses pages sourced from books and magazines for background. The artist, who has cited dumpster diving as part of his process, favors a nostalgic aesthetic, taking inspiration from the dated grain and faded colors of found images. For "Dream House," a series of hyperrealistic digital prints and video work, Torn used 3D computer software (the same that's employed for Hollywood films and commercials) to create virtual sculptures that comment on consumerism, technology and the increasing time we spend in virtual spaces. Roots & Culture Contemporary Art Center. Noon–6pm.
Rusko + Roni Size The godfather of drum & bass, Roni Size "reprazents" before one of his disciples, Rusko, brings the boom. Size is a perfect example of how dubstep and EDM is not a revolution, merely a continuation or mutation of the jungle and big beat sounds of the late '90s. Size's 1997 landmark, New Forms, indeed popularized sounds that would dominate the global electronic scene for years. Rusko and his peers have merely turned a somewhat academic sound into a Silly String–spraying party. Anyone into crisp frantic rhythms and deep, deep low end should be here. Concord Music Hall. 8pm. $35.
What to see at SOFA Chicago this weekend
The 20th annual art fair known as SOFA (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art and Design) officially kicks off tonight at Navy Pier's Festival Hall. As we mentioned, the decorative art and design on display tends to be hit or miss. To help you find the hits, we identified a few exhibiting galleries that made an impression on us at Thursday night's opening preview.
Gallery FW, Chicago Located in a sleek factory rehab in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, Gallery FW specializes in Japanese and Korean artists who work in ceramic, glass and metal. The pieces presented at SOFA are strikingly minimal in form, emphasizing materials and processes—a welcome counterpoint to the over-the-top works featured in other SOFA booths. On one end of the aesthetic spectrum is Harumi Nakashima's showstopping Forms that Reveal the Absurd (2013), a whimsical porcelain sculpture with blue-glazed polka dots painted on a white glazed surface. More quiet, yet just as powerful, is Byong-uk Yeo's Chinmoku (Silence) (2011). The Korean artist uses flaxseed oil to create a metal-like finish on these ceramic vessels—the result is reminiscent of miniature Richard Serra sculptures.

Rhine Hall brandy distillery opens tomorrow
We've been eagerly awaiting the opening of Rhine Hall brandy distillery ever since we tried their spirit at the Indie Spirits Expo earlier this fall. We caught up with co-owner Jenny Solberg to chat about what to expect and snap some photos of the space—including the bicycle-powered apple chopper. Read our story here.
Northalsted Halloween Parade: photos
A wonderful cross section of humanity come together for the annual Northalsted Halloween Parade in Boystown: drag queens, kids, dogs and...Juggalos. Were those real Juggalos gripping Faygo in our photos? Who knows: That's the beauty of Halloween.

Chicago street style: Tahler
This week's street style profile features Tahler, a guy who likes to look like Julia Child.
Tahler, 26
Wicker Park
What's your favorite thing you're wearing?
My metallic shoes because they're metallic. My friends told me not to wear these today.
What's the nicest or strangest thing anyone's ever said about your style?
That it's ruthless, which I take to mean that I don't care what I look like as long as I feel good or it makes me laugh when I look in the mirror.
How would you describe your style?
Humorous. As long as someone gets a smile from it, it's alright.
What's your favorite thing you own?
My copper, patent leather espadrilles. I love them because I feel like Julia Child in them.
Where to get your Thanksgiving pie
Thanksgiving may still be four weeks away, but now's the time to make very important decisions about dessert. Apple or pumpkin? Sweet potato or pecan? You're already cooking a turkey, so leave dessert to the pros and pre-order a pie—the only hard choice is deciding which one to get.
RECOMMENDED: Thanksgiving activities in Chicago
First Slice Pie Cafe has three locations (4401 N Ravenswood Ave; 4664 N Manor Ave; 5357 N Ashland Ave) and this year, they're offering more than ten holiday pies in flavors like roasted red wine pear streusel ($25), balsamic raspberry pear ($25) and sweet potato praline ($18). There's also a vegan pumpkin pie ($18). First Slice will be accepting orders until Nov 24, so stop in to one of their locations or order online. Pick-up is available Nov 25–27.
If you're looking for the basics, Bang Bang Pie Shop (2051 N California Ave) has you covered. Visit its website or stop into the storefront to pre-order a roasted pumpkin ($22), apple crumble ($26) or chocolate pecan pie ($26). Bang Bang uses local pumpkins and Michigan apples in its desserts. Order before Nov 24 for pickup between Nov 25 and 27.
5 things to do today: Friday, November 1
"Shomei Tomatsu: Island Life" Photographer Tomatsu (1930–2012) captured Japan's southern islands over the course of his career, and his first solo show in the U.S. in nearly 10 years features politically charged, black-and-white images from the 1960s—such as American bombers taking off from Okinawa for Vietnam—as well as bright blue seascapes. Art Institute of Chicago. 10:30am–5pm.
L-Vis 1990 L-Vis has entered the building. The young British producer works for the Night Slugs label (which he co-found) and his rumbling grooves are appropriately dark and slimy, real Robocop sextape shit. His tracks of nocturnal '80s funk stack trembling Cameo keyboards atop city-leveling bass, Chromeo meets Diplo. His full length, Neon Dreams, was released on Universal. Primary. 10pm. $10–$15.
Gazed and confused: a visit with Braco, a new age "healer" specializing in staring
Here at Time Out Chicago HQ, we work hard to inform you where to go and what to do, as well as what we think of Chicago theater productions, the latest Arcade Fire album or most recent Next menu. But like any office, we need the occasional YouTube diversion. Our most recent obsession? Braco (pronounced Brah-tzo), a Croatian dude who "heals" people just by staring at them. Maybe it was the stars aligning—or just the fact that Braco tours a ton—but last week, after being entertained by videos of his "transformative" gaze (and ability to thoughtfully sip espresso in airports), we discovered Braco was hosting two days of public gazing sessions this week in Evanston. Immediately, we knew we had to take a pilgrimage to the north suburb.
Long takes: the extended shots of Gravity, Rope and Russian Ark
With the box office weighed down by films loaded with blink-quick cuts, the unbroken opening shot of Alfonso Cuarón's space odyssey Gravity has been blowing the 3D glasses off viewers' faces. The Mexican director has described the 17-minute sequence as "a continuous moment": "It's the idea of trying to create a moment of truthfulness in which the camera happens to be there just to witness, and respecting that moment in real time."
While Gravity's extended opening has justly received a fair share of buzz, its use of the long take pales in comparison to Russian Ark, which is finishing up a weeklong run at the Gene Siskel Film Center tonight at 8:15pm. Director Alexander Sakurov's 2002 opus is composed of one unbroken 96-minute shot. Serving as the perspective of a bewildered, disembodied narrator, the Steadicam traverses 33 rooms of the Winter Palace of Saint Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, which first appears to be hosting a grand ball. The camera glides between a couple thousand actors in various period costumes and focuses in on works of art and scenes playing out that nod to historic events—in effect spanning 300 years of Russia's past in one building.
Alfred Hitchcock attempted to pull off a similar unblinking-eye effect with Rope, his underrated 1948 film based on a play inspired by Chicago's Leopold and Loeb murder case, which is showing at the Siskel on November 1 at 6pm and November 2 at 5:30pm. But unlike Sakurov, whose cinematic stunt benefited from digital technology, Hitch was working with film that had to be changed out about every ten minutes. Many of the film's ten segments, sewn together to create a sense of seamlessness, usually end with a blackout cut on objects or, say, an actor's back.
The long take can have a range of effects. Cuarón employed the technique in approximating the feeling of a zero-gravity space walk; Hitch merely wanted to find an interesting way of putting a play on film.
Macy's State Street sets up its holiday windows
Oh my god, stores are already setting up Christmas decorations and the holidays are almost here and we have to buy presents and it's almost 2014 and, wow, does that sound like the future and we are getting so old.
Yes, Macy's State Street has built its holiday window displays. We took a peek behind the curtains to see what nostalgic charms will lure kids to press their noses against the glass. Of course, the tradition dates back to Marshall Field's, who pioneered the practice of animated Christmas displays, long before A Christmas Story and long before Macy's took over the department store in 2006.
What you'll see in 2013: a pug, a vintage television, a chocolate factory, a ton of stars…and are those people drinking mimosas?
The holiday windows will stay up from November through December.

The Monster High line of dolls from Mattel are a welcome change from Barbie and Bratz. The pictures do not do these dolls any justice. The detail is nice, and they come with a cute accessory and pet. Draculaura comes with her pet bat, Count Fabulous, a hairbrush, a doll stand, a parasol (which does not open unfortunately) and a journal which includes an access code for online content.Her skin tone is a light pink, she has brown eyes, painted on "fangs" and a cute heart under her left eye! Her hair is very soft, and is black with hot pink/magenta highlights.These dolls are articulated at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, leg joint an knee joint. You can remove their arms at the elbows and wrist to make dressing and undressing a bit easier. Please don't think that this is a flaw or that the doll is broken. It is by design. They can stand on their own with a little patience, but as mentioned above, they do come with a doll stand.These dolls are not fragile, but they would not withstand the torture of a child younger than the suggested starting age of six. I am an adult collector, and I use my dolls for diorama photography. Since these dolls are articulated, they are fun to pose for pictures, and will be loved by all levels of doll enthusiasts.

The doll is beyond cute, but there is definitely something wrong with how the legs are designed. The elastic threads holding the legs to the body broke very easily. My daughter has the whole set and this model was the only one that broke, but they're all a bit flimsy. Sadly, Draculaura was her favorite. She was very disappointed.

Great buy
By Meghan
I got rochelle recently at a walmart store. She truly is a beautiful doll. I love that she comes with lots of little accessories. I love her. The only thing is is that I have a little bit of trouble putting her on the stand because of her wings. I think Mattel should make special stands for her. Overall I would definitely buy her again.

The product pictured on the website is NOT the item that was sent to me. Also the box was dented on the bottom (not just a little - a lot!) The product was returned and a different doll was purchased through a different company.

As other reviewers said, this Draculaura shown is not the one you receive. I was very excited to see this on Toys R us, since I can not find "original" Draculaura anywhere. Well apparently this was too good to be true--I received Picture Day Draculaura instead. And customer service never got back to me about this problem either.Toys R Us still hasn't changed the photo to correct the problem that has been brought to their attention by customers.

Ordered what was shown in the photo but received a different doll from the new series. NEVER AGAIN. TERRIBLE STORE AND A WASTE OF TIME.NOT a "Hassle-Free Returns" at store as advertised. If they send you an incorrect item you will receive a store credit not the original payment you made. I don't need store credit!

The doll that is supposed to be sent is completely adorable and perfect for my daughter, the picture day one is not one she wanted and what they sent instead.

About Me Collector, Education Oriented
These dolls are definitely the hottest trend right now, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Coming from growing up with Bratz I was skeptical...but, I LOVE them! These dolls are perfect for young girls with vivid imaginations, the idea is great, and they are sturdy yet the limbs are interchangeable. Very Cool I would absolutely recommend this product!

When I got this doll for my granddaughter's 10 birthday, she was so excited beacuase she loves monster high. when she got it out of the package, I was afraid the arm would fall of beacuase I read reviews about people saying that the doll's arm falls off. The arm did fall off, but I noticed you can put it right back on. I also got One for myself but never opened it to see if clawdeen wolf's arm falls off...

Weekend Bookworm: The Watch
26 April 2012 , 1:25 PM by Rob Minshull
The Watch by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya
It's a war that cannot be won. Our forces are fighting with their hands tied behind their backs. As soon as we leave, the enemy will take over and smash those we leave behind. The arguments - and the placards - from Vietnam have been taken out and dusted down to be recycled and used again, the tome to protest against the war in Afghanistan. If only things were so simple.
The conflict in Afghanistan is complicated, dark and deadly. The blurb on the back cover of this book was almost enough to prevent its reading: when the word "futility" is used to describe the Afghan conflict, it is tempting to dismiss the novel as yet another of those monotonous anti-war epics. That, however, would be a great mistake.
The Watch is the most brilliant novel to be written about one of the defining events of the start of the 21st century. It is, to quote Fatima Bhutto, devastatingly eloquent. It is also incredibly compelling.
The story has at its core the Greek myth of Antigone who, in the play by Sophocles, attempts to secure a respectable burial for her brother, a traitor to Thebes and for whom the law forbids even mourning, on pain of death. The Watch takes the story into the 21st century when a young woman shows up at an isolated US army base in Kandahar to demand the return of her brother's body. The American troops have just fought a grueling all-night battle against the insurgents, her brother was only one of many casualties and the soldiers have no idea how to deal with the crippled young woman. Is she just another ploy by the Taliban to weaken their resolve, is she a suicide bomber, is she insane or is she simply what she claims to be: a grieving sister who wants to bury her brother?
On a base full of "helplessness and fatigue", The Watch is a tour de force of the contradictions and covenants that govern the behaviour and emotions of men who face death on a daily basis. Each chapter moves backwards from the first sighting of the young Afghan woman, exploring the reactions and responses of the different soldiers and their Afghan interpreter, a group of young men "trapped in a conveyor belt of death and destruction", until the final, stunning conclusion is reached.
There is anger and despair about the comrades they have lost in battle, but there is also great compassion for the young woman and, among many, disdain and anger at the authorities in both Washington and Kabul: "If she turns out to be a suicide bomber, it won't be because she hates our religion. I mean, I don't even have a fucking religion. It'll be because we whacked her brother and we're in their country. How difficult is that to understand? When you kill people and wipe out their families, strafe their homes and burn down their villages, litter their fields with fragmentation bombs and gun down their livestock, you've lost the whole fucking battle for hearts and minds. I mean, who're we trying to kid? Ourselves? Is it any wonder they're fighting back? We're not winning this war, we're creating lifelong enemies. It's time to admit that our own leadership has ring-fenced us with lies."
But as eloquent and realistic as the fury may be, The Watch is also a novel which provides a rare insight into the raw brutality of conflict as well as the moral justification for the violence which all soldiers understand and obey. "Will someone please tell the suits running the show in D.C. that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are not interested in a bite of the pie, they want the whole damn thing?," says the Senior Sergeant. "They're committed to an all-or-nothing strategy, and we're the thin red line standing between them and their clearly stated target: Western civilisation ... For Christ's sake, we're talking about folks who consider beheading their opponents just punishment, not followers of the goddamn Geneva Conventions!"
Almost 30 years ago, an Israeli I knew published his war diary from Lebanon. Dov Yermiya's book probably disappeared from print a long time ago, but his conclusions about the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 have haunting similarities with Afghanistan today.
Yermiya was sickened by what he saw in Lebanon. He also knew that the prolonged Israeli stay in Lebanon had incensed the very people they had supposedly aimed to liberate, but he opposed an immediate Israeli withdrawal because he believed it would mean leaving behind a situation much worse the one that preceded the invasion. Israel was to stay in Lebanon for almost 20 years. When its forces left, its allies and the military force it supported collapsed within days.
The echoes in Afghanistan and the words spoken by the soldiers in The Watch are terrifyingly similar - as is their scorn for the Afghan authorities who are supposed to be our allies, those in a "regime that we are propping up [but whose goal is] to reconcile with an enemy bent on our extermination."
Soldiers are no mere killing machines. They know why they are fighting, even if they sometimes disagree with the reasons. "I may not be a free agent," says the Lieutenant in The Watch, "but I am an agent for freedom, the freedom to assume the responsibility of ensuring that a devastated society is repaired. That's why I can use words like integrity and honour without cynicism. If we allow this country to slide back into the darkness, we will all be accessories to the genocide that will follow our departure as inevitably as night follows day."
With this book, Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya has proved himself to be the modern Norman Mailer. The Watch is a stunning account of war, of the terrifying range of emotions, the despair and the sheer fatigue which men have to endure in combat. It is a must-read for anyone interested in our common humanity and the terrible things we do to each other. The Watch is quite simply superb.

What is it? It's like a giant postcard (8.8 x 5.5) but it does a whole lot more that just any old postcard. In fact it's not even called a postcard, it's called a Flyer Buyer and here is how the system works, it's very simple:
1. We design a flyer just for you and use our sales and marketing knowledge to draw the reader directly to your website where they will hopefully opt in and potentially join your business.
2. We then send your awesome flyer to our Coveted ever growing buyers list that we hand built ourselves and only use once per client. There is no other list company out there that can compare to the list we built and continue to build. We use only magazines to generate our buyers list and we only sell these names once then we remove them from our database.
Do you know how amazing results are in the magazines? Ask around, they are the best you can get, or are they? Our new "Flyer Buyer" is the same exact thing as having a full page magazine ad in the home business magazines. The results will blow your mind!
We are not just selling leads anymore, Market4Me.com has taken your chances for success to the next level with our Smart & Easy Flyer Buyer Direct Mail Campaigns.
Try them out, campaigns start as low as 100 Flyers.
You will not find this service on our main website as we are building a brand new site as we speak which will feature our new Flyer Buyer service as well as a few other gems you can add to your marketing arsenal.
Call us today with questions and ask about our reasonable rates: 412-250-7194 ask for Andy or Sam.

bubble coral shrimp
This is a very tiny (5mm - 0.2 in) bubble coral shrimp "vir philippinensis" on bubble coral "plerogyra sinuosa".
This coral forms a colony who, during the day, is coated with vesicles of varying colors: cream, blue-gray, green or brown. These vesicles look like grapes. The shape of these vesicles may vary (round but also pointed and twisted, depending on the level of gas filling). These vesicles shrink slowly when the colony is disturbed.
The tiny bubble coral shrimp is frequently encountered among the vesicles of bubble coral.

Perfect Summer Scent
My husband is very spoiled and always wants his shower wash to go with the fragrance he is using. This product enhances the TB fragrance which is like an "Island Vacation" in a bottle!

Nice scent, great for travel!
Purchase along with the after-shave balm and cologne as part of a boxed set. Great value!

Change is Good
I get apprehensive at times when a company decides to change a product that's been around for a while.
The classic Tommy Bahama fragrance was great. I bought a bottle for My father what seems like nearly a decade ago, and he has used it ever since.
When I saw that TB was releasing this updated classic style, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I think sometimes they have a tendency to move on too fast with designs in other departments on occasion.
Let me tell you, this fragrance is once again perfect. They really do have a very high batting average when it comes to nailing the brand image.
I have always loved the hair/body was combo. There is something about using just 1 product that feels like vacation.

smells wonderful
Used for the first time on my recent vacation to Aruba and had many complements on how good I smelled and what was I wearing,so from the response I got from folks this should be a great product for Tommy Bahama!This body-wash is now a must on my shopping list.
May 17, 2013
Better than advertised
I'm always skeptical about ordering grooming products through the web but with all of the quality products I've ever purchased from Tommy Bahama, I've never been disappointed so I decided to give the hair & body wash a try. Not only a pleasant scent, it does a thorough job for it's intended purpose especially after a day at the beach or sailing. Throw in the convenience of having a shampoo and body wash all in one is certainly a space saver in the duffle bag. I get a lot of compliments on the scent as well...not overpowering but lasts all day. This is an excellent product and I highly recommend.

Primary Source Documents and America's Revolutionary War
1700's | Boston, MA
The United States of America began in a remarkable way. We were rebellious children of the tyrannical mother England. Many of our ancestors fought in that great struggle of independence. Those roots make us who we are today. To discover who are ancestors were then is to give us a certain amount of insight and pride as to whom we are today. Family History connecting us to that event will not only inform us of those good things but it will also give us pause to reflect and make changes in our own lives.
Then there is the historical value of that struggle. What is it our forefathers were actually trying to devise as far as their view of our future was concerned? What can we discern from their writings on subjects which vex us today? All of these questions can be answered through pure research coupled with personal soul searching.
PRIMARY SOURCES allow us to delve into the minds of those in the past, and do it without the interpretation of others. When we argue a point of importance we can go back to the original comment for reference.
Footnote provides all of these opportunities and more. The opportunity to connect with other primary sources and people is provided by the designers of the site. The purpose of Footnote.com is to provide that type of learning.
Primary Source Documents in the 1800s
1800s | Missouri
As the United States continued to grow, the records kept became much more valuable to future generations. The westward expansion with the Native American problems continuing to surge upward were perfect examples of times when records for future reference would be invaluable. INDIAN TREATIES and purchases of land could only be reclaimed later by documentation in the form of Primary Source Documents.
The CIVIL WAR would bring a near disaster for the United States. The primary source documents attached to this war would give future generations the information they would need to avoid future conflicts after this manner.
The Wild West and the further expansion with the gold rush and the feelings of manifest destiny were the events which made us who we are today. All of these things are recorded and allow us to understand why our country formed in the particular way in which it has. We can take historians liberal or concervative approaches as to what our fore fathers meant, or we can research original primary source documents and form our own opinion as to what was meant and just exactly what happened.
Primary Source Documents 1990s-Today
1900 | Lindon, UT
At the turn of the 19th century with the industrial revolution in full flight and the world expanding in population, but shrinking through increased communication we found ourselves in a precarious position. America, England's stepchild, was destined to become a world leader and remains that way today.
Through the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and now the Middle East the United States has become the strongest nation in HISTORY, and we have sacrificed the lives of many of our citizens in the name of conflict. Footnote's primary source documents not only show what really happened but they discount many of the false interpretations and opinions of each important historical US event. These documents allow us to develop our own opinions based on actual events and those who witnessed these events first hand.
As we have transferred from industry to technology everything has changed. We now have the means to access these primary documents in a matter of seconds! Computers have given us the capability to do this and the internet has given us access to almost all information immediately. Not only is this a boon for family history, but also for historians, whether they are teachers or students. This is our time and we need to capitalize on what is out there. FOOTNOTE is one of the best sites around for US Primary Source Documents.

And to prove that ABC 4 Utah volunteered to go inside a hot vehicle and to see first hand what it does to a person.
I called Salt Lake City fire to see if they would assist in this experiment. They obliged by sending a team of paramedics.
"Before we begin we want to get some baseline vitals on you to help us in the event there's an issue," John Zwahlem of the fire department told me. "It helps us know where we started just to have an idea of where you're at so we can be safe and also to provide the best care if something does go wrong."
Playing it safe, that's what the paramedics wanted before I jumped into the car.
They checked my blood pressure and heart rate.
"Your blood pressure is a little high but it's pretty good," Jonathan Davies another paramedic told me.
And they also checked my body temperature.
"It's 98.8, you're about average," Davies tells me.
"So I've been cleared to do this and let me go inside the car and sit down. It's a little warm outside. Let's see what it's like in here. It's close to 128 degrees."
What I noticed once inside the car was the lack of air and I could feel already feel sweat on my brow.
"Paramedics just told me we're approaching the five minute mark. You can see the color in my face. My ears are starting to turn red. If you take a look at my hands … the sweat is starting to gather."
Paramedics advised me that it I had been in the vehicle for 12 minutes.
"My thinking is slowing down. I'm not as coherent as I would want to be. I can tell I'm struggling. I think we need to wrap this up here because definitely I can feel a change."
After 12 minutes of 134 degrees I called it quits. Paramedics checked my vitals to make sure I was okay and I was except for my body temperature.
"I don't think you were in trouble but it would have been time to pull you out as my partner said we were going to pull you out," Zwahlen tells me. "We can see your hand gestures slowing down."
My advice to you: don't try this at home or anywhere else.

Qwest DSL Premier 5M+
Available only in western Washington. Qwest circuit fees ($38/month) billed seperately. Modem may be purchased from Qwest for $60 or leased for $5/month. Total cost of Premier DSL with modem rental is $63/month.
Standalone DSL. Qwest offers DSL service without phone service for an additional $5/month.
Qwest promotions. Effective October 9, 2005: Free setup ($99 savings), $8/month off Premier 5M+ for first twelve months, free tech install for 5M+ service.
Hemp.Net Discounts. We offer discounts for quarterly (4% discount), semi-annual (8% discount) and annual (16% discount) payments. These apply only to the Hemp.Net charges, not the Qwest charges.
Web hosting. DSL customers qualify for discounted web hosting ($8/month), ecommerce hosting ($18/month), and FreeBSD jails ($35/month).
Details. DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, is an "always on" high-speed connection to the Internet. It is ideal for applications such as online gaming, videoconferencing (such as NetMeeting), and a range of other apps. Unlike dialup access, you don't have to wait to get connected, as your computer is always on the Net.
A few cautionary notes about DSL. Not everyone can get DSL; you're line must qualify. Generally this means that your home is within a certain distance from a Qwest "central office" (CO). Also, while it's nice to have a computer continuously hooked up to the Net, this increases the risk of an outside attacker probing or hacking your system. We recommend an external firewall (there are many cheap firewalls that allow you to share your DSL line with multiple computers).
Why Hemp.Net DSL?
- Reliable, dedicated service
- Speeds up to 1.5M (actual speed depends on user's phone line)
- Hemp.Net email addresses
- InWa.Net email addresses for apolitical uses
- 25 megs disk space for web site and personal use
- Usenet access
- Small, friendly staff
- We support progressive causes with free services, volunteer time, and monetary donations
- We sue spammers
- We support open-source projects
- Discounted web hosting
Answers to FAQs. Yes, you can run servers on your DSL connection; just don't spam, host porn or violate any laws. Yes, you can use a Cisco 678 (and perhaps a 675) if you are a geek and know how to work in CBOS. No, your throughput is not metered. In general, if something seems reasonable to you, it is probably reasonable to us.

NORTH ADAMS -- Once the McCann Tech girls' basketball team settled into its zone defense, Putnam had no answer for it on Friday night, and the Hornets ran to a 41-26 victory.
With Putnam on an 11-4 run, Emijah Barton pulled down a defensive rebound and launched a long pass to Breeana Rodriguez late in the first quarter. Rodriguez finished the fast break with an easy layup.
Mary Nguyen made a steal on Putnam's following possession and used her speed to turn it into another easy layup. The back-to-back quick strikes sparked a 24-4 run for the Hornets that lasted into the third quarter. The basket was Nguyen's first of the night and came with her team trailing 11-6.
"Once we're spread out in that zone, I can see everything," Nguyen said. "That really helps me make the move on the ball."
She finished the night with a game-high 18 points and recorded 10 steals for a double-double.
Putnam scored 11 points in the first quarter, but then had a hard time finding the basket. Its next highest total came in the third quarter and was only eight. Aleah Pannell recorded six first-quarter points and added just two more over the next 24 minutes.
"We stopped the man-to-man and went to that 1-2-2 zone," McCann coach Mike Dowling said. "Once [we] settled into it, [Putnam] couldn't solve it. It's a match-up zone and it's pretty simple to play. They played it really well and did really well defending."
Justice Wallace was the only player to reach double figures for Putnam.
Nguyen's speed combined with good awareness helps her make the quick reads necessary to record steals. It's a skill the Hornets will rely heavily on for the rest of the season.
"She just has such awareness," Dowling said. "She knows that pass is going over there before it goes there. And she is fast when she makes that read."
While Nguyen turned quite a few of her steals into points, the team also was able to turn defensive rebounds into fast-break points. Eileen Zajac led the Hornets in rebounds, pulling down 13. She had six assists on the night, several coming on long passes after a rebound. Barton also had several rebounds for McCann that turned into fast breaks.
"It comes down to just boxing out," Zajac said. "Boxing out and catching the ball."
With much of its offense coming off fast breaks, McCann relies heavily on its speed. Both Nguyen and Rodriguez feature great speed for the Hornets.
"[Putnam] is a slower team, and we like to push the ball," Nguyen said. "It lets me take advantage of my speed."
For McCann, it's a victory that shows how much it has improved since the start of the season.
It's the third win of the season for the Hornets, and the second in the league, making the Hornets 2-1 in the Bi-County League.
"We have more confidence now," Zajac said. "We've won two [league] games now, so we can move on and play the rest of the year with some confidence."

Should Government Spending for PBS Be Cut? >
PBS Epitomizes Liberal Elite
Journalists at PBS think they're entitled to the conservative taxpayer's dime
October 11, 2012
There's a reason liberals have taken up Big Bird as the face of public broadcasting and not, say, Bill Moyers. Mr. Bird is feathery and cuddly, while Moyers likes to compare American flag lapel pins to Mao's Little Red Book. This is how the left undermines our institutions from within: make the effort appear homey and apple pie-ish. Show Big Bird, not Big Bill.
Moyers is not alone. Many other journalists at PBS and NPR equally epitomize an aloof liberal elite that has squandered half the nation's trust in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Over at NPR there is Nina Totenberg, who once wished AIDS on the grandchildren of Sen. Jesse Helms. No, Totenberg won't be the face of the pro-public broadcasting effort, either. Elmo is being pressed into service.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
I don't mean to pick on Moyers or Totenberg. They are no different from many of their brethren in other publications. For some reason—probably because liberals want to change American society, which they see as inferior, and people who want to change society tend to go into journalism—most people in the profession are liberal. In one important way, however, Moyers and Totenberg are different. Journalists at The New York Times and MSNBC must constantly strive to give their publics what they want. If they fall short, they'll get a quick reality check: Readers will buy a different paper or click somewhere else online. TV viewers will reach for their remotes.
Only PBS and NPR journalists think they're entitled to a conservative taxpayer's dime. And this is the nub of the problem. How can an institution that represents the views of only the liberal half of the population, and only grudgingly acknowledges conservatives and their principles in passing, believe it has a claim on all taxpayers?
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
They don't. They have abdicated their claim to my wallet by systematically denigrating the values I believe in.
Yes, the CPB says that it's impartial, that it's popular, and that taxpayer money covers a tiny percentage of their operating revenue. And that just makes my point. If they're willing to ignore widespread conservative complaints and refuse to institute changes, then they have a problem. And, yes, I agree, they can do fine without our money. Their membership strategy amounts to a fantastic business model. They will thrive on it.
We can use the $444 million they get a year.

Gas prices have been climbing over the past month, according to AAA the average price for a gallon of gas in Central Arkansas is $3.57.
In the money matters report we show you ways to reduce how much gas you consume,including a few ways you may have forgotten about.
As tempting as it might be right now that some additive or gadget will increase fuel efficiency. automotive experts say: don't fall for it !
Philip Reed with Edmunds.com says, "Frankly you are not going to see the huge boost in fuel economy that you would like to and that is available in other ways."
The old ways are still the most effective ways to increase fuel efficiency namely, adjusting your driving habits, like letting off the accelerator.
"High speeds are gas-wasters and it's particularly true over 70 mph because of the aerodynamics," Reed adds.
In fact, for each 5 miles per hour above 50, add a quarter to the cost of a gallon of gas.
He also says, it's truer now than ever before, that a car left running in idle is guzzling more than we realize.
"So, if you're actually going to be stationary for longer than 30 seconds or a minute, if you can safely do so, you should shut off the car engine," says Reed
Try walking, he says as opposed to the short drives because short drives are the most inefficient, and when buying gas, know whether high test is required for your vehicle or just recommended.
If it's merely recommended you could experiment with a lower grade of gasoline, either mid-grade or regular, and save quite a bit of money.
He says a reliable way to measure gas mileage is to do it yourself comparing the number of miles you get from one tankful to another.
AAA says relief at the pump is in the way. Apparently, the higher gas prices are the result of a slowdown at several refineries undergoing equipment upgrades. AAA says, that work should be completed in the coming weeks and falling gas prices are expected to follow.

International SEO is a complex challenge for digital marketers due to the intricacies of local languages and customs.
Unfortunately it's not enough to assume that UK companies can expand into Latin America simply by translating their content into Spanish and Portuguese.
Luckily there are some free online tools available to make the task slightly simpler and automate some parts of the process.

Here at Econsultancy, we've covered the search engine Baidu on our blog before through one of our guest bloggers Eddie Choi.
With around 600 million internet users and an economy that despite the slowdown continues to strengthen, China represents a huge potential market for companies willing to invest there.
However, there are differences in best practice between search marketing in China and for the rest of the world. To cover that, we've just launched the Baidu Search Best Practice Guide in association with China Search International.
As a preview, here are four tips to whet your appetite…

One UK chippy has caused quite a stir among Chinese tourists. The owner Robert Savvides was baffled by the influx of Chinese people for a couple of years until he realised that the power of international SEO can aid many small UK businesses.
An interesting news feature emerged on the BBC News website last week.
It's a quaint story about a sea-facing Brighton chippy enjoying an influx of Chinese diners...

What do censorship and surveillance programmes look for? What can this tell us about internet usage in China?
Can we contrast with the perceived surveillance state of the West? What are the implications for a company in the Chinese market?
Unsurprisingly, there are lots of questions still to be answered about the state of the internet in China.
First Monday has this month published a very interesting paper, presenting an analysis of data from a year and a half tracking the censorship and surveillance keyword lists of two instant messaging (IM) programs used in China.
I thought it would be useful to sum up what Crandall et al. found, so you don't have to read the whole thing. Although this study looks at IM clients, there are certainly findings that can be extrapolated across public services, such as Baidu and Sina Weibo.

Taobao is China's largest online shopping platform and today is its 10th birthday, so what better way to commemorate the occasion than an infographic?
According to the stats, in 2013 the Chinese are expected to spend more than £177 billion shopping online making it the world's largest ecommerce market.
And despite the fact that internet penetration is just 40% in China, the country's online population is still 242 million people.
For more information on this topic check out our Digital Market Landscape Report which focuses on the emerging market in China, or read our interview with Net Media Planet on how European businesses should approach paid search in the country.
by David Moth 10 May 2013 14:50pm 3 comments
The value of online transactions in China reached $190 billion in 2012 and the country is predicted to overtake the US as the world's largest ecommerce market at some point this year.
So it's no surprise that European businesses are eager to try and break into the marketplace.
As with any ecommerce market, search is a vital source of building brand awareness and attracting traffic in China. This means you have to optimise your site for Baidu which has around 83% market share.
Baidu recently signed a deal with CharmClick that gives the company exclusive rights as a resale agent in Europe, which subsequently partnered with Net Media Planet for Baidu ad sales in the UK and Ireland.

I can't take too much credit for this latest blog post. It's actually mainly down to my Channel Digital colleague Peter Graves and relates to his experiences with the internet during a recent trip to China.
I think it's an interesting topic given the growth of the internet in China and the controversy that exists around the great firewall, the level of collaboration between Google and the general online landscape in that part of the world.
In particular, Pete was able to gain a hands on view of the actual internet browsing experience within China and how this compares with what we've become used to in the UK and indeed the majority of the "west".
I'll let Pete take up the story from here.
by Martin Dinham 21 March 2013 10:39am 1 comment
As of December 2011 there were more than 190m online shoppers in China, a massive 20% growth on the previous year.
Yet there is also huge untapped potential, as only 38% of the Chinese online population has actually used ecommerce.
This obviously makes it a very attractive marketplace for any online retailer, but there are a number of obstacles that have to be negotiated before a business can even consider selling online to Chinese consumers.
It's a topic we investigated in more detail in our new 'China: Digital Market Landscape Report' as well as a blog post looking at the state of digital marketing and ecommerce in the country.
And to find out more about the challenges of setting up an ecommerce business in China, I spoke to eCommera's director of insights services Debbie Bond...

Statistics published by CNNIC in June 2012 say that there are 538m internet users in mainland China. Among them, 428m use search engines, 273m take part in microblogs (Weibo), and 209m shop online.
Search, apparently, tops the list of most popular online activities in China, just as it does in Western countries.
What about social media in China though? Do search engines pick up the social signals as well? And how can marketers learn from that?
In this article, I will show you the answers together with all the examples that support them.
by Eddie Choi 15 August 2012 11:18am 1 comment
China has over 400m search engine users, which makes it a significant market for search marketing.
There are a world of articles about best practice for search marketing practice in China out there, but unfortunately, most of them are hypothesis and based on incomplete evidence.
In this article, I would like to share my insights with you built a recent exercise I undertook recently in Chinese keyword research.
Let's see what I have learned...

Summary and Book Reviews
A Good Hard Look: Summary and book reviews of A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano
I first read this novel over a month ago and have just re-read it - and I am very glad I did. Some books are simply born to be re-read, and then probably read again! Very much in the way Melvin thought of Flannery O'Connor, this novel strategically rubbed the facade of the many social pretenses right off everyday small town social interactions. It was intriguing with moments of brilliance, and led the reader to look very closely at the things that really matter between the people in our lives! Highly recommended - for both personal reading and for book group discussions - Kathrin C (Reviewed by BookBrowse First Impression Reviewers). Full Review (766 words). Media Reviews
