Second visit to Zone 88 - SF - Report
- Dave MP Sep 21, 2007 09:26 PM
I hadn't been to Zone 88 since my first visit back in April....
...but tonight I was really in the mood for hot and sour soup close to home, so I made a guess (a good one, luckily) that Zone 88 might have good Hot and Sour Soup. Happily, the dinner outing ended up including 4 others, so we tried several dishes.
We started with hot and sour soup, which for $5.95 was a very big bowl....enough so each of us could have two servings. When we ordered, the waitress asked if we wanted pork in the soup, implying that there might be a seafood-only option...we chose the pork option, which had lots of soft tofu, shredded pork and mushrooms. The broth was peppery and had plenty of vinegar. Overall, very good hot and sour soup, and I'd definitely head there next time I have a craving. The soup makers know what they are doing.
The shanghai dumplings were good, but not amazing. They were boiled dumplings with a mainly pork filling, served w/ soy dipping sauce. They looked and tasted very homemade - the dough was cooked a bit unevenly; some dumplings were falling apart, other parts were a bit doughy. Not bad, but for me not a highlight.
Dry-fried string beans were excellent. We ordered this thanks to P. Punko's report....
...and they were great. The string beans were cooked perfectly, with a salty and slightly spicy coating.
Eggplant w/ garlic was good, but not as good as I had remembered. I found the sauce a bit sweet this time, but everyone still enjoyed it.
Hunan beef was unexciting, but fine. I only had a few bites, but it had good spice to it.
We ordered kung pao shrimp as the 4th main dish, but the waitress appeared with another dish explaining that they were out of kung pao so we were getting shrimp w/ snow peas instead. This was a little annoying (this seems to happen to me a lot lately) since we probably wouldn't have chosen this dish, but it ended up being very good. Both shrimp and snow peas were cooked perfectly, the snow peas were very crisp and fresh tasting. The vegetable cookers in the kitchen also know what they are doing.
Service was not great, but friendly. We were surprised to find the place relatively empty (less than half full) on a Friday evening at 7 PM. Sweet bean soup dessert w/ rainbow tapioca was complimentary (and tasty). The total bill was 56.60 before tip for the 5 of us. Once again, a pretty good bargain.
Overall, I think Zone 88 is a very reliable, good Chinese restaurant. Presentation of food is above average, and the decor is pretty nice as well. Most importantly, it seems like there are people in the kitchen who take the time to cook dishes correctly. I'll definitely return.

that's funny, I was in the mood for hot and sour soup tonight, partially to get the memory of the really not-good soup I had at Old Town Cafe out of my mind, and partially just because it was that type of night....We thought about Zone 88, but decided we wanted tried and true, so we went to Lotus Garden for their (Vietnamese) version with prawns....it was great as always...highly recommended. Will have to try the Zone 88 version soon too...thanks for the report!

We had a pretty amazing meal at Zone 88 a couple of weeks ago.
We had the following :
1. Hot and Sour Soup (with white meat - Chicken)
2. Sliced Fish in spicy hot sauce (this was superlative)
3. Chicken Chow Mein
4. Chicken with Snap Peas
And funnily enough, it was a craving for Hot and Sour soup that brought us here !
I could not find fault with any of the above, very slow but polite service.
This is one of our regular venues.
Chong Qing wings next time, D- I have such a craving right now.
Those green beans really are so simple and perfect. I like that Zone 88 is really clean and what may be lacking in service shows up in their friendliness and the care they take with the food. We also thought the dumplings were just pretty OK, but you could still tell they were well prepared, if that makes any sence
re: P. Punko
hubby and I stopped in for a late lunch on Friday: it was too nice out for me to be in a soup mood, ....but we did really enjoy the cumin lamb. I *was* in a leafy vegetable mood so instead of string beans we tried the vinegared bok choy. I thought it hit the spot, but hubby told me after eating his half that he really wasn't that fond of vinegar...sigh...for his sake at least should have gotten the string beans! Was interested to note that the green beans and a tofu dish were the staff dinner when they all sat down to eat just after we left (at about 2:30 p.m.). Portions are generous; prices are low, service was very friendly and for us, not at all slow...but there were only a few tables occupied.
I stopped here last Friday night and it was about 1/2 full. The food was not as flavorful as in my previous 2 trips to Z-88. Our group of three had the spareribs in a pumpkin which was very bland. We also had spicy fish with vegetables which was decent. The spicy cold noodle dish was not spicy at all and was bland as well. I guess this time we ordered all the wrong dishes compared to our other meals here.
Just back from eating trip out of town and more recent dining has largely wiped out my memory of our dinner here---except that it was very much below par and not close to the standard of my first meal here a few months ago. There were six of us and what I remember is that the only really pleasurable dish was the cumin lamb. The vegetable dishes were acceptable but not memorable--pea shoots, string beans. The crispy duck tasted and had mouth feel as if it was crisped some time last year. One of my dining companions who is a great fan of Chinese food generally said this was the worst Chinese meal he had ever had; lucky, if so, I could add--it was not that bad. But I will not be returning to Zone 88.
re: alfairfax
Have to add footnote to my own posting as a dining companion reminded me of the worst part of our meal: the "Golden Scallops". As soon as one of us picked one off the platter, she said this smells really fishy. Then next of us said Has this turned? I took one which did not seem spoiled but had a very non-scallopy texture, stringy in fact, and seemed rather thin for a sea scallop. I wondered if it perhaps had been a skate-wing cut to masquerade as scallop. Anyone ever experienced that? I have read of its being done but this would be my first experience of it if so.

In 1966, a teenager named Lelsey Hornby had her hair cut and colored by Leonard, a celebrity hairstylist in London.
Images of Lesley taken by Barry Lategan were hung in Leonard's salon. A reporter from the Daily Express newspaper saw the photos and wrote an article declaring Twiggy (Lesley's childhood nickname) as "The Face of 1966". Twiggy was an overnight sensation. One month after the Daily Express article, Twiggy posed for her first shoot for Vogue. Only 5' 6" tall, with a thin frame and an androgynous figure, she had a fresh look perfectly suited to the fashions of the late 1960s.
In 1967, Twiggy flew to New York and was immediately overwhelmed by a press corps as large as the one that greeted the Beatles' American arrival. A few days later, Melvin Sokolsky started a series of photo shoots with her. Sokolsky had originally hired one bodyguard for crowd control, but after a mob sceneoutside Altman's department store ended with a sobbing Twiggy being hustled into a limousine by police officers, he hired 8 additional bodyguards.
For the next three years Twiggy helped define swinging London, and she remains today an internationally recognized name and face. With her waif like figure, boyish hair cut and striking eye lashes, she created an image that would epitomize an era.
Twiggy became the idol for millions of teenage girls of the 60's revolution.
The violence and chaos caused by the outbreak of civil war forced Alek Wek and her family to flee their small village in Sudan.
After years of upheaval and her father's death from surgical complications, her family decided to leave their homeland. In 1991, Wek moved from Sudan to Great Britain. While shopping in a London market in 1995, she was discovered by a model agency scout. Her distinctive looks quickly caused a stir in the world of fashion.
In 1997, Gilles Bensimon photographed Wek for the cover of Elle. Alek described the shoot itself and the overwhelming reaction to what was her first magazine cover. "Everything just fell into place, and it was the quickest shoot I've ever done. He dressed me in just a pure white Armani jacket, open to my navel. He was joking around as usual and I was smiling and laughing. 'Don't stop smiling, but stay still for one second,' he said. I stopped. He took the shot. And that's the one that ran on my very first cover. I was quite proud of how I looked. Gilles made no attempt to hide mynatural features – my full lips, my skin, my tightly curled hair. It was a magnificent picture, printed on an all-white background, with gold type.
The issue sold like crazy and it seemed that every newspaper and magazine in America wrote about how the cover challenged our traditional conceptions of beauty. The reader response was overwhelming. Thousands of women…wrote in to praise the cover. Almost all of them said they found the cover shot liberating. 'Hey – thanks for putting me on the cover. Finally I have someone I can identify with,' wrote one girl."

Tyler's ultimate recipe. I'm adding it mostly because I want the nutritional content as I've adapted it. It's really tasty and filling. Spinach or other greens would be good stirred in and I also add some crushed red pepper flakes for an added layer of flavor.

This recipe is meant as a 'suit to taste' recipe. Please feel free to use spices you enjoy with ketchup-based sauces. Or feel free to brine your chicken PRIOR to placing this coke sauce on it. The sauce is great on the chicken, but a few people have complained that the flavor does not penetrate the skin, so all I can say is, You're a chef now, EXPERIMENT! *smile*

PHOENIX (AP) - Gabrielle Giffords' spokeswoman says the Arizona congresswoman still has a long way to go in her recovery from a gunshot wound to the head.
But her office has posted a pair of photos of Giffords taken
last month. Both are outdoors and one shows her smiling. The other shows her sitting with her mother.
The photos appear on Giffords' Facebook page.
Giffords has been in a Houston rehab facility since two weeks
after the Jan. 8 shooting. Six people were killed and 13 were
injured, including Giffords.
A Giffords aide says the congresswoman could be released from
her rehabilitation hospital in Houston as early as this month. When it happens, there will be a lengthy period of outpatient rehab.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I pulled my daughter out of Friendly Hills middle school (8th grade) because of bullying. I spent most of that year going to the school to comfort my daughter and to complain with no change. Her first year at AAHS was completely different! She liked going to school, began to get good grades and in fact progressed 3 grade levels in math - her least favorite school. She will be starting her 10th grade year today and is looking forward to going back. This is a small school by design so doesn't offer all the bells and whistles available at Sibley but it does have very dedicated teachers who have the ability to identify and use the learning style that works best for each student.
My comments are directed toward Academic Arts - it is not River Heights at this address any more. Academic Arts is not a traditional high school. If you're looking for conventional settings and typical honors classes you should look elsewhere. What it offers is a relaxed, community structure and a project based workload that allows students the ability to tailor their studies according to their own needs and interests while meeting state graduation standards. The staff is eager to help students succeed and honors level work is encouraged. Project based work isn't for everyone and isn't the right fit for some. For others, however, it gives the flexibility to succeed academically where other schools have failed. Some students have social or medical issues that make conventional classrooms a challenge. Others simply like the ability to customize their education to their own interests and career/college plans. Either way, Academic Arts provides the flexibility and guidance necessary for kids to succeed. Project based learning, smaller schools....not for everyone. But for some people they make all the difference in the world. Give it a fair look.
A truly terrible school. Not even a school. There are a couple teachers that are good, but they are not supplied with the resources or support needed. The director is completely lost and has no knowledge of how to run a school, or a classroom. This school's existence is further proof that charter schools are not the answer to any educational problems our nation has. Project based learning is another way for saying "no learning." Students do not know what they need to learn, and these students seriously need education on how to do research, write, think, and speak. The system they use is out of date, vague, and ineffective. I blame the charter school system, but also the school's director for being such a terrible leader.
I have been attending river heights off and on since it started and I love that this school is project based, and independent , because it makes me feel more accomplished with what I have done.
I've been a student here at River Heights Charter School for about 6 months now. I'm very happy with the education I've recived here instead of the mundane tasks you'd perform at a regular school. They really Inspire you to learn here instead of being just one in a crowd. The teachers here help every individual with there own needs. Every single Teacher and Student here are awesome individuals and I'd encorage anyone to come to this school.
River heights is one of the best schools i have ever gone to because if you have a anxiety of to many people this is the right school for you because the class sizes are small and not to many people
This school is great it is not as rushed as a normal school it is way more layed bakk and the people are great there is hardly any drama and it is a fun and easy enviorment to work in
I've been going to River Heights for two years now and it had improved greatly since then. Some parents refuse to have their children come to this school because 'they won't get an education.' I will admit that during class time we don't learn as much as a traditional high school, but the project based learning makes up for that and gives you the opportunity to learn things that actually interest you, and will help you with your future carreer.
I like this school because it teaches you a lot about self independence and self-responsibility. You can work at your own pace, slower or faster than the average kids from any normal traditional schools so you don't feel so restricted to what they have to teach you. There's a lot of expertise in the field of what we want to learn here. This school showed me that if I put my mind to the test, I will succeed. I've gotten nearly all of my credits to go to PSEO when I entered 11th grade.
This school lets student get ahead and graduate early, even a good pseo that allows them to get farther ahead. The only thing is that students need high self-motivation to succeed in the sortof do-whatever-you-want enviroment
I think river heights is a great school and its alot better then ssp high school. They give you more time to work on your school work and they give you help if you dont get something.
This school is ok if you are an independ student that can work hard by your self
I love it here at River Heights. The teachers are great and care a great deal about you here. You can always feel free to talk to them. The great thing about this school is that you can do projects about things that interest you.
I'm a student here at River Heights and I just want to say that this school is awesome! the teachers are great and with small class sizes you get all the help you need.
the people here are great
Awesome school. Layed back fun easy learning environment
I've been a student at River Heights for 3 years now. Every year the school has improved greatly, become very organized and have a more structured school day. Our student body is solid, with more serious students continuing their time at River Heights, and less deciding to leave. As a charter school we're not only a place of education but a community where we learn more practical lessons of life. The students learn to work with the teachers in an environment of having fun as well as getting a great education. A school day consists of individual project time, and structured class time. Because of the small class size, teachers have more time for individual student-focus. The opportunities available at River Heights are outstanding, but to succeed the Student must be self-motivated. -A River Heights PSEO Student
River Heights had a difficult few years getting started. The student population was very difficult and the teachers had too much to do outside of teaching. The school is making great strides in the right direction. This year, my son is doing so much better, and next year the school will be even more rigerous and academic. I really love that each kid can get to know each of their teachers very well, and this helps kids to grow and work hard!
River Heights is an amazing school with a much more in depth way at teaching students. It's unlike any other school you've attended, but if you enjoy projects you'll love it here!
Constant turnover of staff, directors and students. Little education going on, too many students coming and going.

Bootload problems following an experiment with iATKOS OSx86 install
I'm having boot problems that seem complicated - every help article I've found on the web seems to be missing something or is not working. Here are the details.
Lenovo ThinkPad T410 running Windows 7 professional 64 bit. The hard drive has 2 partitions, the C: OS partition where Windows 7 and all my files/apps/etc. live, and one called SYSTEM_DRV.
I had created a bootable USB with iATKOS OSx86 and tried to install it. The USB boot loader gives me a GUI menu that shows all my drives, and previously I had gone through the steps of creating an extra partition to play around with this, and I tried to install it on that partition, but the installation failed and so I decided to back out of the whole deal. But I guess it made some permanent changes to my system's default boot mechanism first.
So now, when I boot just off the hard drive, I am seeing "boot0:Error". From googling this I am finding this is related to the OSx86 stuff I was trying out, and so I believe it is saying "I'm trying to load this OSx86 you installed but can't find it." So, I think that OSx86 replacement bootloader still exists, and is failing to load any operating system. It is looking for one that doesn't exist, and won't load Windows either.
Fortunately, when I boot from that USB I still get the menu to choose which drive to boot from and if I choose SYSTEM_DRV, Windows 7 boots just fine. So I know not all is lost, it's just the default boot behavior is not correct. As a side note, I was surprised that I had to choose SYSTEM_DRV and not the drive Windows 7 is on, that's what I would expect and what I've experienced in the past. I don't know if this is a Lenovo thing, or Windows 7 thing, or what. Maybe this is significant, maybe not.
Some more information:
When I boot into a Windows 7 recovery disk and go to the command prompt and do "bootrec /fixmbr" it says it succeeded. But "bootrec /fixboot" gives an error "element not found". Same with "bootrec /rebuildbcd", it gets started, scans for operating systems and finds Windows 7, but eventually fails with "element not found".
When I go to System Configuration -> Boot tab, I see NO entries in the list of operating systems. And the buttons and checkboxes on that tab are active but non-functional.
So I am not dead in the water - I can still boot to Windows 7 using this bootable USB I made, but need to fix this.
Any ideas?

Since the OS you installed is Apple I suggest you confer with them in their own forums: Official iATKOS Website ? iATKOS and OSX86 Project
To recover Win7 boot confirm the 100mb System Reserved (preferred if you have it and it was previously booting Windows) or C is Partition Marked Active, then run Startup Repair - Run up to 3 Separate Times to test and repair all parameters which involves quite a bit more than merely running the dated XP-era bootrec commands.

Thank you Greg! Marking the partition as active was the key.
|My System Specs
|05 Oct 2013
Glad it helped.
Make sure you have System Recovery Options on F8 Advanced Boot Options now or else run all three Startup Repairs to finish repairing all parameters.
What I would do going forward is try these test installs virtually or on another HD with WIn7 HD unplugged. If it's a keeper, then when you plug back in the Win7 drive set it first to boot in BIOS Setup, trigger the other HD using the BIOS Boot Menu key given on first screen.

Tiffen Introduces New Steadicam Tango
The Steadicam TANGO™ balances and feels like a single sled carrying all components. It provides a comfortable, centered operating position, even at full up/down boom. It incorporates rugged, all-mechanical construction and uses a conventional Steadicam sled plus the six pound Tiffen Tango extension. "There are no electronics, gyros, wiring, connectors or power-hungry components," said Garrett Brown, inventor of the Steadicam. "It also has a large-aperture, interior cable-path for camera/CCU interconnection. With your eyes closed, it feels like a normal Steadicam," continued Brown.
Nine-foot continuous elevation and traverse with back-pan and back-tilt
360 degree pan, ±90 , ±90 degree tilt available throughout boom range
Optimum pan/tilt inertia at all times
Camera fits into small openings with full angular control
6 lb. camera payload @ 3:1 extension equals 29 lb. total
Rapid conversion from "Tango" mode to conventional Steadicam
Stable – when walking, running, climbing stairs
Silent – no servo motor noise
Fast – ultra-rapid traverse, elevation, pan/tilt
In 1973 Oscar-winning cinematographer Garrett Brown wanted the freedom to move the lens from the floor to the ceiling. Garrett's ultimate Steadicam® invention was an elegant and wildly successful compromise that has revolutionized the world of film and video. New generations of Steadicam camera stabilizers have unleashed endless filming possibilities, but Garrett never gave up on his original dream.
In 2009 a camera revolution was well underway – lenses and HD imaging chips were at last being separated from their heavy CCU's. Garrett started all over again with a radical new idea: a conventional Steadicam sled at one end of an accessory spar, stabilizing a "mini- sled" at the other end to at last yield that long-sought floor-to-ceiling boom range with direct and intuitive control.
In early 2010, the simple, all-mechanical TANGO became a reality. A mechanical tour-de-force. Garrett's revolutionary 3D connectors transmit "master" pan/tilt/roll moves to a "slave" sled at the other end of the telescoping central spar. This allows the camera payload to mimic every nuance – fast or slow – of the operator's input.

Hi, I have just purchased two bottles of Nutrex Lipo 6... and I am quite concerned with an article I have just read regarding Ephedra safety.
It stated that 'Products are not to contain in excess of 25 mg of total ephedrine alkaloids per serving; usage instructions should limit daily consumption to 100 mg of total ephedrine alkaloids.'
I have noticed that Lipo 6 contains 335mg of Ephedra Sinica serving! That makes up to 670 mg of Ephedra Sinica (recommended dosage daily)...
Can there be a mistake somewhere?? Or is the recommended dosage in Lipo 6 is way too high ??? Does anybody have any idea?
Plz advise and help!

Tastemaker Tips for Flawless Holiday Entertaining

Zac Posen - Fashion Designer
You may know Zac Posen as Project Runway's newest judge or perhaps you covet his luxurious silk toile gowns, but what may surprise you is that Posen is just as brilliant in the kitchen as he is in his design studio.
"It's all about preparation and decoration," says Posen.
Tip #1: For hors d'oeuvres I always like an variety of fresh, savory, and colorful options for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. And, crudités is always necessary, so make sure you have an assortment of beautifully cut vegetables you can arrange as a bouquet. For dipping sauces I like to blend white miso, puréed cashew, a dash a spicy yuzu sauce sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, and grated ginger.
Tip #2: Champagne cocktails are fun, refreshing, and a great way to get the party started. For those who don't like bubbles, spiced wines are a nice alternative--warm up a port and serve it in an old inherited punch bowl.
Tip #3: Serve finger food. There are so many amazing variations with puff pastry and phyllo dough, like mini puff squares with sundried tomatoes or prosciutto rolls. The combinations are endless!
Tip #4: I'm a salad person and in the winter I like to incorporate all the winter root vegetables for a great combination. Grated beets for color, turnips, and hicima go really well with chopped kale and baby lettuces. I like to mix in baby bib lettuce and for a refreshing surprise, pomegranates!
Tip #5: For the non-meat eaters quiches are so easy. And for time efficiency you can totally opt for a pre-made pie crust, just add vegetables and a few different cheeses. It's a whisk, bake, and serve dish.
Tip #6: But we all know the holidays are all about dessert. Need something easy? Buy puff pastry dough, add apples, honey, nuts, brown sugar, and dried fruit. Roll and bake!

A Hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaches us, 'People are like treasures – just like treasures of gold and silver.' As we know, gold and silver do not simply come out of the ground ready to be made into jewellery. Much effort is spent finding the gold and extracting it from the ground. Craftsmen then labour for hours on end to turn it into something of beauty.
TIBHS is the first free school to be opened by the Tauheedul Free Schools' Trust (TFST). TFST was set up by the Tauheedul Islam Faith, Education and Community Trust (TIFECT) to establish a network of Muslim faith based free schools across the country. TFST's vision is to develop a national model for progressive, mainstream and positive Muslim free schools which develop young people with an outstanding academic profile and an exemplary aptitude for civic responsibility and citizenship. TFST are particularly excited to be opening their first free school here in Blackburn – their home town – and are determined that TIBHS should be a flagship free school, fully reflecting their vision.

A series of unusually strong, long-lasting high pressure systems has parked over Greenland this summer. As many a weather forecaster has explained, high pressure generally leads to calm winds and sunny skies, both of which boost temperatures during the all-day sunshine of mid-summer at high latitudes.

Farm houses are a hot commodity among both professional farmers and real estate mavens. A farm house is quite an attractive place to hang one's hat in retirement or even as a summer get away for those who are still stuck working.
But not all farm houses for sale eyed by American consumers are in the United States. There have been many instances of Americans and other foreigners purchasing a beautiful farm overseas in such places as Western Europe. Yes, believe it or not, there is a huge demand from expatriates who seem to be gobbling up this type of real estate in foreign lands. Many people in the United States believe that the only true farmhouses exist in America. This is not true! If you consider that the history of modern farming began overseas, you will realize that other countries have been at farming a lot longer than the United States. If you are looking to either buy or model your new farmhouse from an existing design, you should check out farm house in France. France is a country with a long and rich history, especially when it comes to farm house architecture.
One such example is a classic farm house in Italy that fetched an excellent buying price by foreign buyers. The beautiful farm house was in the Italian mountains and was surrounded by the beauty of the Italian landscape. It is not surprise that this farm house attracted a buyer so quickly.
So why does the farm house for sale overseas attract people from North America to foreign lands? Part of the reason is privacy. A farm house for sale in a remote section of Europe or Latin America can provide a quiet escape from the hassles of the urban and noisy landscape that can be found in North America.
This is a quite an attractive concept for an expatriate and a very inviting place to head when the hustle and bustle gets to be a bit much to bear. In some ways, anonymity has a great reward that is unique unto itself.
As such, there will probably be a continual purchase of the farm house for sale by people from far, far away from where the farm house rests.

The ultra-light incarnation of THE definitive mountain tent. This legendary design, seen in some of the most remote and extreme locations on the planet, uses DAC Featherlite poles, as used on adventure racing tents where weight is critical, but in a geodesic framework which braces the poles against each other to shake off extremes of weather from any angle. Inner-first pitching means the flysheet lashes the whole of the tent down and presents a sleek, wind-shedding profile. While the outer is still unmistakably Quasar, the inner has been given an overhaul for improved ventilation, reduced weight and a light, airy feel. The guyline system has also been improved, for even faster and more secure anchoring. World-class backpacking accommodation with a minimum weight well below 3 kilos, the Ultra Quasar is a stellar four season mountain shelter.View Details

Two new attacks in Syria mirror Houla massacre
Syrian activists have reported two new brutal attacks by Syrian forces and shabiha, pro-Assad militiamen, mirroring the Houla massacre. In the Syrian town of Mazraat al-Qubeir outside Hama, 78 people have reportedly been killed, 40 of whom were women and children. U.N. observers attempting to investigate the accounts have been prevented from accessing the town. A second attack took place in Heffe, a city in the western Lattakia province. The Syrian government has denied responsibility for the attacks, blaming terrorist groups. Meanwhile, the international community is split on how to end the Syria conflict. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, comprised of China, Russia, and Central Asian states, is pushing for dialogue, maintaining it does not support military intervention. The "Friends of Syria," which includes the United States and the European Union, met on Wednesday and discussed supporting the opposition and "additional steps" necessary to force President Bashar al-Assad out of power. U.N. and Arab League envoy, Kofi Annan, will speak before the United Nations on Thursday to offer an alternative to his six-point peace-plan that has failed to stem violence.
- Israel's Knesset defeated a bill to legalize certain settlements, marking Ulpana for demolition on July 1. However Prime Minister Netanyahu promised 851 new Jewish homes in the West Bank.
- Prominent Bahraini human rights activist, Nabeel Rajab, has been imprisoned for the fifth time after writing Twitter posts critical of the regime.
- The head of the Saudi Arabian religious police has criticized agents over their handling of a women wearing nail polish after she posted a video online.
Arguments & Analysis
'Is Libya Cracking Up?' (Nicolas Pelham, The New York Review of Books)
"While separately none of the communal battles alone poses an immediate threat to Libya's unity, the border skirmishes risk stirring broader upheavals that could pick apart Libya and its neighbors. Riqdaleen sees itself as a potential bridgehead for tens of thousands of Qaddafi supporters who have sought refuge in Tunisia and may return. Kufra's feuding parties are attracting supporters from opposite ends of the Sahara, from the Mediterranean to the northern scrub land of Chad. Arab militiamen in Benghazi see a cause and an opportunity to fly the Prophet Muhammad's black flag of jihad; the Toubou in Chad are anxious to repel an Arab attack on their fellow tribesmen. As the contents of Qaddafi's armories spread across the region, gun markets are sprouting across middle-class Tunisia and fueling the low-level insurgency that Sinai's Bedouin are waging against their Egyptian overseers. Equipped with their extensive bullion, Qaddafi's surviving children-his son Saadi in Niamey, Niger, and daughter Aisha, in Algiers-stir up their old followers. Libya's turmoil is acquiring continental significance."
'Putin Between Assad and Mubarak' (Alexander Golts, The Moscow Times)
"Western analysts are constantly trying to find a rational explanation for Russian policy toward the Assad regime. Why, they ask, is the Kremlin risking its international reputation to support a bloody dictator?... The answer, it would seem, lies in the field of psychology. Putin identifies with Assad, former Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi and former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He is firmly convinced that democracy, the rule of law and human rights are all little more than contrivances that allow the West to control weaker nations. This is the basic tenet behind 19th-century realpolitik, which Putin fully subscribes to. He believes that the West's foreign policy is driven by a desire to establish de facto colonies under the flowery pretext of spreading democracy and protecting human rights."
'Risk and Rivalry: Iran, Israel, and the Bomb' (Colin Kahl, Melissa Dalton, Matthew Irvine, Center for a New American Security)
"As Iran's nuclear progress continues and negotiations fail to reach a breakthrough, the threat of an Israeli preventive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities grows. In Risk and Rivalry: Israel, Iran and the Bomb, authors Dr. Colin H. Kahl, Melissa G. Dalton and Matthew Irvine argue that despite the abhorrent threats by some Iranian leaders to "wipe Israel off the map," the actual behavior of the Islamic Republic over the past three decades indicates that the regime is not suicidal and is sufficiently rational for nuclear deterrence. The report finds that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a much more dangerous adversary but that Iran is unlikely to deliberately use nuclear weapons, or transfer a nuclear device to terrorists to use, against Israel. The authors recommend that while preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should remain an urgent priority, rushing into preventive war would risk making the threat worse and force should be seen as a last resort."

Chelsea boot bargains at Matalan: Only £8!
Ready for a real bargain? The sort of value that causes you to stop fretting over which colour to choose and just put two of the damn things in your basket? We've certainly got one today. Matalan has put a few of its footwear pieces in the bargain bin this week - and for a reason we can't quite fathom, the sale includes these fabulously on-trend Chelsea boots. They are now selling online for an unbelievable £8. Eight pounds!
What's more, the must-have autumn/winter booties are available in several different colours and patterns, and there are still quite a wide range of sizes available. As well as the electric blue leopard edition pictured above, we're loving the purple velvet-look version, also available here for £8. Our only advice in this instance is get in quick - and make sure you've taken advantage of this offer before the rest of the world catches on (or Matalan notices the error of its ways!)

Click here if you would like to order a piano CDOur new CD is out!
I have always wanted to record a CD of the songs I have written that have lyrics, and we finally did it! This CD is a compilation of many of the songs I have written over the past 20 years. They come from a heart that wants to share the real, personal love that Jesus has for each one of us and many of the truths found in His Word. When we found out that Julie would be entering the Sisters of Life in New York as a postulant this fall, I knew it was time to record. I have always loved Julie's pure, sweet voice, and now I pray that as you listen to her sing these songs, your heart will be touched and you will draw near to God who loves you so much!
Draw Near to God $10
1: Draw Near to God - 2:18
I am a speaker, musician, composer, mother of 4, grandmother of 6, and blessed to be married to my best friend, Jim. I have a BA from Oregon State University in Liberal Arts. I love the Lord and want to share his amazing love whenever possible. One way that I've found to do that is by speaking at conferences and leading women's retreats. I share experiences from my own life and help provide the opportunity for others to be touched by the Lord. I have led worship for over 20 years, so music is an integral part of my presentations. I have also led prayer groups and bible studies for, so prayer and scripture are also a big part of my retreats.
I have recorded 2 CD's of piano meditation music (which came as a result of being prayed over by a priest at a parish mission). I have also recorded some of my other compositions on a CD called "Draw Near to God". Our daughter, Sr. Cecilia Rose sings vocals and I accompany her on guitar. You can hear selections of all three CD's here on the site.
I have given numerous talks at retreats, missions and conferences. Fr. Dave Gutmann and I created two three-part series called, "The Ultimate Treasure Hunt". We presented them at Holy Cross in Portland in '05 and '06. I've also spoken in Lake Charles, LA, Houston, TX, St. Paul, MN, Sheridan, WY, and Vacaville, CA. I've led Women's Retreats in California: Chico, and Yuba City; in Oregon: Beaverton, Newberg, Florence, and several parishes in Portland.
My husband and I have worked with Fr. Cedric Pisgna, CP and his Ministry for over 20 years and Father has given me opportunities to speak at his missions. At Father Cedric's urging, I am in the process of writing my first book, which he will make available on his missions and website.
Following is a quote from my pastor: "Janice's ability to inspire, to draw fitting examples from her personal life, and to witness to the power of Jesus working in her life are all very effective tools. I gladly recommend Janice as a gifted speaker, musician, and all around fine human being. She truly makes a positive difference with her life!"
This music came as a gift from the Lord. I was prayed over at a parish mission and the priest said that the Lord had a "special gift" for me. The next week I played a complete song on the piano that I had never heard before. One day in prayer, I heard, "If you play, I will speak to my people." And He has! I pray that as you listen, you will open your heart and let the Lord speak to you, His beloved. May it draw you ever closer to Jesus, may it calm you and fill you with His peace.
Vols I & II (68 min) $20
The music on this CD is very special. I believe that it is anointed and can touch you in many ways. Here are a few of the comments I've received: "My meditation went to a new level as I listened to your music." "Your music has been such a source of comfort and spirit-filled inspiration to me. Many occasions I have put your tape in while in my car, and prayed and felt an overwhelming whoosh of love poured out over me." "It makes me feel so close to the Lord!" "We really feel blessed and comforted by your CD."
Vol III (40 min) $15
Because the music is from the Lord, I believe that it is anointed and can touch you in many ways. One woman shared how the music calms down her CCD class; another said that she plays it when she is painting; another said her poetry is easier to write with the music on. "Your music is so relaxing and peaceful. It is a wonderful background for prayer or meals or homework." Many people have shared that they play the music when they are going to sleep. I pray that as you listen, you will open your heart and let the Lord speak to you. May it calm you & fill you with His peace.
I have led women's retreats in Portland, Beaverton, and Florence, Oregon; Klawock, Alaska; Chico, CA, and most recently in Newberg, Oregon. Here are some of the responses I've received after leading these retreats:
"I am still feeling the effects of your retreat here in Chico. My only regret is that I didn't have a tape of it to share with my family. God is truly working through you and your amazing ability to touch the hearts and souls of women. Thank you! Thank you!"
"Your retreat was very well conducted. You have a gift to offer people by your down-to-earth, speak-from-the-heart approach. You should never doubt the value of what you offer to others. I watched people's reactions to you and I could see that you touch them. I think this is precisely, because you reach them where they "reside", in a way they can relate to their own lives, to their own experiences. I noticed many tears from people who were being prayed over; it made me realize/remember how people often look together on the outside, but carry heavy burdens of internal hurts that aren't readily seen. Remembering that fact, (and that is all too often forgotten) helps me to be more compassionate toward people who behave badly or in ways that don't make sense to me. That's huge right there... so great job!
"I attended the Women's Retreat at Holy Trinity this past weekend, and I have been transformed by this experience! I have been hanging onto fear for almost 20 years. The guided meditation about letting go was the most valuable portion of the retreat for me. After this meditation, I was able to finally let it go, and I feel so free! I just wanted to thank you for your ministry."
"Have heard many, many comments about the retreat. Our women were really ministered to. Well done Janice. I'm grateful for your response to God, and your eagerness to be used by him!" - Fr. Dave
