It's crunch time, readers. The last hurdle. The semester's crescendo. The final frontier.
Finals week starts today and it's taking a toll on all of us. The stress and tension the whole campus is experiencing is causing an eerie, hushed mood to fall over everything.
And frankly, I do not care for it. Not a bit.
For the longest time, I refused to watch The Lion King II because the first one meant so much to me and remains my favorite movie. Nonetheless, I decided to watch it and I found it interesting that I could see it from a different percepective than I did when I was younger.
Finals week is upon us at the College, as are single digit temperatures. The cold is at least conducive to hunkering down, but I'm more inclined to huddle under multiple blankets rather than curl up with my accounting textbook. I also refuse to trek to the library in these temperatures, and am trying to study in my apartment where the refuge of extra clothes and blankets are readily available. The upside to this, aside from keeping a little warmer, is that I won't have to fight for study space.
My week has been so crazy that somebody might need to call me a doctor.
Or, you know, 11.
We're a day away from Thanksgiving, and indications include the appearance of the "Pilgrim Panini" in the Caf and an abundance of canned food drives. The C of I Thanksgiving break is only a few days long, but it's not too much of a downer, as we're off for Christmas break just two weeks after Thanksgiving.
Fall Fling was just a couple of months ago and I am pretty sure we still remember the outstanding performances by Andy O, Axiom and The Armada ID. Well, I spent some time in my freshman year with some of those guys and it is incredible what they have achieved. Let me tell you why;
Usually, I am really excited for the first snow. Growing up in Utah, we got quite a lot of snow, so now that I live in relatively-snow-free Caldwell (at least until January), I get even more excited. But this year, alas, I was not excited to see that blanket of white upon the grass in Boise.
November has really been plugging along, hasn't it? All the weeks since the end of fall break seem to have passed by at a breakneck, Usain Bolt-like pace, to the point that Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Every day in my classes after I write the day's date at the top of my notes, I always just stare at that steadily increasing number, as if glaring at it hard enough would magically shift the month back a week.
I'm killing two birds with one stone (or simply "multi-tasking" if you are against avian violence) for this week's entry, readers. For my Intro to Theatre class I needed to write an analysis of C of I's fall production, Baby with the Bathwater.
It's been 8 weeks of school here at C of I and I've had one of the best times of my life. I've made some great friends, had some crazy times and learned a lot. Halloween was awesome, bowling night was a ton of fun, and the Yote Fam cheer section at the NNU game was crazy to be a part of.

I have limited experience with fondant over SMBC, so I wanted to ask some questions.
Since I work full time, I am going to frost/fondant the cakes (6" & 10") over a couple of days. Do they need to be refrigerated until I'm ready to decorate? I am worried about condensation when I take them out to decorate. Would the finished cake need to be refrigerated? I am in Texas. Thanks!
i bake to order and freeze then from there i keep my cakes cold all through delivery -- i've tested my fridges and my recipes and that all works for my situation -- every last one of us does it different though so it's learning what works best for you --
for example when i buy a new fridge i take a big cake board w/me so i can be sure my cakes will fit in there -- one fridge condensed under the freezer and dripped -- had a heater installed to dry that out -- i've tested all my recipes in & out the fridge & freezer -- so it's a testing/learning/adjusting curve --
i like the little bit of condensation i get because the fondant then adheres perfectly and luster dusts also go on nice --
but it's different for everybody -- some cakers never fridge anything -- i'm in tn fwiw -- and of course if you are using any perishable fillings and/or cream cheese icing it has to be kept temperature controlled for safety too -- so it's driven by safety and the individual caker --
best to you
Anyone else?
I meant should they be kept in fridge after they are covered with fondant. I feel like I should put them in the fridge so they will stay firm. The cake is due on a Sunday, so I was going to fondant them on Thursday & Friday after work and decorate on Saturday.
I would put them in the fridge. Your buttercream will become soft as the cake comes to room temperature and then you have more of a chance of smooshing it while applying decorations. They will be much easier to work with while well chilled.

Maplewood man's fatal jump off I-94 bridge confirmed
STILLWATER, Minn. -- The Washington County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that a 38-year-old Maplewood man jumped to his death from the Interstate 94 bridge over the St. Croix River last Tuesday afternoon.
Commander Jerry Cusick of the sheriff's office said the effort to recover the man's body was still underway.
Cusick said a side-scan sonar and a remote-operated vehicle would be dropped into the water in the area where the man jumped from the bridge. A side scan finds things by sending out a sonar beam that reflects off any object lying on the river bottom, and transmits an image to a topside screen.
Cusick didn't identify the man but said his family is aware of what happened.
Passing motorists saw the man preparing to jump and notified authorities. He parked his Jeep SUV on the shoulder of the eastbound bridge before climbing onto the wall and jumping from the south side. There is a channel of open water below where he jumped, which is closest to the Minnesota side of the river.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department would not release information regarding what authorities described as "homophobic graffiti" found inside a restroom at the Fifth District Police Station on Thursday, Jan. 31, they did offer a lengthy statement issued by Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier on Friday, Feb. 1.
In the release Lanier stated that the graffiti "centered on a member's sexual orientation," before adding that when the person responsible for the graffiti is caught, she will impose "the most serious penalty for this malicious act of hate."
"We have come too far this past year building trust within the department, and within the community, to allow a hateful member to set us back," Lanier said in the release.
"I have spent this entire year doing everything in my power to reinvigorate the feeling of pride and professionalism that goes along with being a member of this great department, and it is astonishing to me that any member would disrespect another officer in this manner."
MPD spokesperson Traci Hughes said on Feb. 4 that she could not yet comment on the text of the graffiti or whether or not it implied that it was written by an officer or a visitor. Hughes said the information "pertains to an open investigation."
Hughes declined to comment on whether this was a rarity or common occurrence at the 1805 Bladensburg Road NE station.
During the past year, Lanier has worked with community groups, the general public and Sgt. Brett Parson in formulating a plan to expand the influence of the city's Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit beyond its Dupont Circle headquarters.
Currently, Parson is in charge of the MPD's Special Liaison Unit, which in addition to the GLLU includes the Latino Liaison Unit (LLU), Asian Liaison Unit (ALU) and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Unit (DHHU). Parson, who is gay, formerly headed the GLLU.
"All members of this department put their lives on the line every day and I will not tolerate any member treating another police professional with disrespect," Lanier added in the release. "All of you should be personally affronted that another member of this department would think that it is acceptable to conduct them self in this manner.
"Remember, we are quickly advancing to the best department in the Nation. We cannot have members in our ranks that think and act with such insolence."

What sort of cognitive dissonance does it cause when you read a new post in February and the title contains a data in January? Whatamess!

Thanks to those who linked to us!
Links of the Week!
- "Quit Your Job and Die Alone" – it's a catchy title, but far from being about how tough it is to make friends once you leave a career, this article is about why most online businesses exaggerate their revenues – or completely ignore expenses! From our pal the Financial Samurai writing at Untemplater!
- Nelson at Financial Uproar (commonly abbreviated 'F.U.') implores his readers to rethink weddings – or at least stop spending so much…
- Our friend JT at Money Mamba, in his new position on Darwin's Money wrote about Mitt Romney's effective tax rate.
- Meanwhile, north of the border… Boomer of Boomer and Echo discussed OAS, roughly comparable to Social Security here in the States. Guess what – at its current course it is unsustainable in Canada, and they are slightly changing the eligibility. A glimpse of our future?
- Teacher Man at My University Money channels Aldous Huxley and asks how many citizens should be allowed higher education? An interesting piece!
- 101 Centavos once again finds itself in the roundup, due to this piece on clever engineering. How can I resist linking it?
- The Frugal Toad trains his sights on customer service.
- Over at Political Calculations, Ironman takes exception to Jonathan Chait misrepresenting the numbers. Hopefully something interesting is brewing!
- Control Your Cash talked about Master Limited Partnerships, a topic we've covered before (yet many people still aren't familiar with these investments…)
Oh Yeah, The Republican Primary
Bored with the primary? We aren't! In lieu of a Florida breakdown, we will give you this… a total primary vote count. We reserve the right to bring them back whenever we feel though, haha!
So, Mitt Romney has around 40.5% of total primary votes while Newt Gingrich has 30.89%. However, Romney has 87 delegates to Gingrich's 26, owing to Florida's double rule break and not awarding proportional delegates. An insurmountable lead? Hardly! Remember, 1,144 delegates are needed to win. Even though the media (and, well, the betting markets) have heard fat ladies singing, there's a lot of race left. Also, note that Ron Paul's Iowa delegates are in dispute (along with the Florida delegates). Let the battles continue!
And remember, you heard about the Ron Paul and Mitt Romney alliance here on DQYDJ first. Welcome Reason Magazine and The Washington Post to the party! Who cares if they have between 1,000x and 100,000x more readers (I'm just guessing here…)? Bring on the recognition!
Buehler? Buehler…?

Some folks would just put their tails between their legs and hide in the nearest closet after being dissed for radical politics by the President of the United States, but onetime assistant attorney general nominee Lani Guinier has not backed up an inch. The Harvard law professor strikes back with Lift Every Voice: Turning a Civil Rights Setback Into a New Vision of Social Justice, a new book that discusses her experiences in the gladiator's arena of American politics and defends her points of view. The Denver Public Library Friends Foundation presents Guinier tonight at 7:30 at Shorter A.M.E. Church, 3100 Richard Allen Court, where she'll read from and sign copies of the memoir. Admission is $16 to $18 ($45 includes a 6:30 p.m. reception with Guinier); for reservations call 640-6375.
April 24
You can hear another voice in the dark tonight--and what a voice it is. An Evening With Harvey Fierstein, featuring the famously gay actor/playwright/comic's wonderfully gnarly intonations, begins at 8 p.m. at the Audi-torium Theatre, 14th and Curtis in the Plex. He'll charm the audience with comedy, dramatic monologues and songs culled from a new CD, This Is Not Going to Be Pretty; for tickets, $20 to $30, call 830-TIXS. Fierstein will also attend a limited-attendance VIP reception before the performance to raise funds for local gay organizations; for the show/reception ticket package, $50 to $75, call 455-2682.
We just have to ask: What's up, doc? The Bugs Bunny Film Festival--North American Tour hops into the Mann Cherry Creek 8 theater today for a week-long run. The fest, a compendium of Warner Bros. cartoon classics that features favorite glimpses of that wascally wabbit along with all his friends, from Tweety to Taz, continues at the theater only through April 30--so don't procrastinate. Act now and you'll be treated to the skillfully hysterical work of such legendary animators as Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng and Bob Clampett. Give in to the juvenile within: For ticket prices and showtimes, call 377-1519.
Do-it-yourself crafters will want to draw a bead on the Rocky Mountain Bead Society's annual Bead Bazaar, taking place this weekend at the Holiday Inn Holidome, I-25 and 120th Ave. A veritable treasure chest of jewelry-makers' goodies, the bazaar features vendors from across the nation, along with workshops and demonstrations to give you ideas of what to do once you get your bead booty home. Attend the show from 10 to 6 today and 11 to 5 tomorrow; admission is just $1. Call 388-3188 for more information.
April 25
You've been to art auctions before, but here's one that's different. Art for Heart's Sake, a benefit for Project Angel Heart and Arts on Vine, offers up something a bit sweeter and rougher than the usual fundraising art sale: preliminary sketches, doodles and little bits of inspiration donated by artists. Don't miss an opportunity to go home with something really unique for once; the event, which also includes food and live entertainment, takes place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 1280 Vine St. For details call 388-6469.
You never know what you'll find in your own backyard. Boulder composer Bill Douglas, for instance, has been working more or less unrecognized in these parts for at least twenty years. Part of the problem may be that his performances here are rare--perhaps he's just too busy writing, teaching and accompanying renowned clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, who's just released a CD of Douglas's compositions. Well, here's your chance to make an important discovery: Douglas, who has an ear for Third World rhythms in a classical framework, performs tonight at 8 at the Boulder Public Library Auditorium, 1000 Canyon Blvd., with Mark Miller on woodwinds, Ty Burhoe on tablas, and vocals by the Ars Nova Singers. For tickets, $10, call the Boulder Theater, 786-7030.
Kids need books--trust us on this one. And one of the best places to escape Power Rangers and Teletubbies is the Rocky Mountain Children's Book Festival, taking place today and tomorrow at Currigan Exhibition Hall, 1324 Champa St. There'll be plenty of diversions there for minds demanding gratification of the richest kind--authors, performers, costumed book characters (the Stinky Cheese Man, Wild Thing and Peter Rabbit are scheduled to make appearances), magnetic poetry, a BrainQuest Challenge for schoolkids, a muralist at work and--you got it--lots of books to keep kids of all ages busy, happy and intellectually stimulated. Attend the festival from 9 to 5 daily; admission is free, although donations of $3 per person or $10 per family will be accepted. For information call 839-8320.
April 26
Avant-garde musicians may not sell a whole bunch of records, but the chances they take can be stunning. Drummer Gerry Hemingway, a former sideman with Anthony Braxton and Reggie Workman, is one of the few willing to live up to that rigorous challenge. Hemingway will make thought-provoking sounds tonight at 7:30 at Maximilian's, 2151 Lawrence St., with help from trombonist Ray Anderson, saxophonist Ellery Eskelin and bassist Michael Formanek; tickets are $7 to $10 at the door.
For classical guitarist Jonathan Leathwood, the challenge is played out through his staggering technique. The young Englishman, who's not quite thirty, performs Spanish, modern and self-transcribed Bach works on six- and ten-string guitars today at 4 at Foote Hall, Houston Fine Arts Center, 7111 Montview Blvd.; for tickets, $10, call 321-5690 or 693-6267.

Did she or didn't she? At least one cog in the Monica Lewinsky scandal machine keeps getting caught on author Nicholson Baker's phone-sex novel Vox, which may or may not have ended up on the ex-intern's bookshelf. So who cares? Not Baker--he's over it completely, off and running with a new book, The Everlasting Story of Nory, which provides an adult look into a child's psyche. Baker reads tonight at 7:30 at the Tattered Cover Book Store, 2955 E. 1st Ave.; call 322-7727.
April 28
No way can you miss the Dance of the Seven Veils. You won't find that spectacle at the Diamond Cabaret, but it will be performed nearby at Boettcher Hall when Opera Colorado presents Richard Strauss's Salome, a scandalous one-act based on the story of John the Baptist. How that works is a secret we can't divulge; the torrid opera premieres tonight at 7:30 and continues with performances on April 28 and May 1 and 3. Boettcher Hall is at 14th and Curtis in the Plex; for tickets, ranging generously from $15 to $119, call 830-TIXS or visit Opera Colorado's Web site, www.operacolo.org.
April 29
There's something about touring a breathtaking mansion that's just been dressed up for company. It's all part of the charm in perusing the Junior Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse each year--that je ne sais quois that makes you feel like, well, like someone you're not. At least for the afternoon. Put on an air and rub elbows in the well-heeled former French Consulate, 738 Pearl St., daily except Mondays through May 17; you can also meet the designers from 4 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday. Admission is $10 in advance ($12 at the door; $5 for children ages two to twelve). Proceeds benefit Colorado Symphony Orchestra children's programs. Call 355-7855 for more information.

October 4 - Retired American cyclist Floyd Landis has been found guilty in a Swiss court of defaming the International Cycling Union (UCI) and has been prohibited from repeating his claims that the leaders of the organisation corruptly protected Lance Armstrong from a doping case.
Landis (pictured top), who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory for doping, has become an outspoken critic of the UCI, claiming that its President Pat McQuaid and his predecessor, Hein Verbruggen, helped cover the fact that Armstrong was taking illegal performance enhancing drugs.
Landis claimed in an interview with a German television station in November 2010 that Verbruggen and McQuaid had accepted a donation from his former US Postal Service teammate Armstrong to conceal a positive test in the 2001 Tour de Suisse.
The UCI admitted receiving £62,200 ($100,000/€77,315) from Armstrong to help finance anti-doping measures, but denied the payment was part of a cover-up.
As a result, the UCI took legal action against Landis, who following the court ruling must pay McQuaid and Verbruggen £6,600 ($10,680/€8,200) each in compensation, plus their legal costs.
In addition, he must publish the verdict in several media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and L'Équipe, at his own expense.
"The judgment upholds and protects the integrity of the UCI and its Presidents," said the UCI in a statement released with copies of the court document.
The ruling also forbids Landis to "state that the UCI, Pat McQuaid or Hein Verbruggen have concealed cases of doping, received money for doing so or have accepted money from Lance Armstrong to conceal a doping case."
He is also not allowed to say that the UCI "are clowns, are no different to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, or to make any similar allegations."
But despite the court ruling, Landis' lawyer, Leo Cunningham, said the 36-year-old former cyclist was never formally contacted or informed he was a defendant, claiming that the ruling was "unenforceable".
"Floyd was never served with the UCI's Swiss lawsuit, never appeared in Switzerland on the case, and therefore the Swiss Court had no opportunity to hear Floyd on the issues," said Cunningham in a statement.
"The order is un-American in every sense of that word.
"It is inconsistent with American law, it flies in the face of our First Amendment and it would be unenforceable in American courts.
"It does not affect Floyd's status under American law in any way."
Landis has been given 10 days from receiving the court ruling to appeal, after which "the judgment shall become final and binding."
The document, headlined as a "Judgment by Default," stated that he could face fines for failing to comply.
But given that Landis was not an active party in the civil court proceedings, it remains unclear how the orders would be enforced.
The same court is scheduled to hear another defamation case brought by the UCI against Irish journalist Paul Kimmage in December.
Kimmage, a former Tour de France rider, has also claimed the UCI and its leaders protected Armstrong from an alleged positive test for the blood-boosting hormone EPO at the 2001 Tour of Switzerland.
The UCI sued Kimmage last month after he made comments to L'Équipe and published an interview with Landis in British newspaper The Sunday Times.
However, Kimmage appears unconcerned.
"Given the tidal wave of evidence out there about Armstrong and the degree to which the governing body were complicit in that, I'm absolutely astonished that they are pursuing this," he told Press Gazette in the United Kingdom.
In another interview with Cycling Weekly in Britain, Kimmage claimed that the action was aimed at silencing him.
"The fact that they targeted me was quite vindictive, and it was all about keeping me quiet, getting a gagging order on me," Kimmage told Cycling Weekly.
"They just want to shut me up and give me a public slap."
American website NY Velocity has launched a fund to help Kimmage and it has so far raised over $50,000 (£31,000/€38,500).

Arthritis and Rheumatism
OA of thoracis spine
Can OA of the thoracic spine cause stenosis in that area? What are the symptoms? Would it affect leg function or create a band of tightness aopund the chest? Thank you.
Osteoarthritis of the spine has the potential to cause narrowing (stenosis) at any level of the spine, be it cervical, thoracic, or lumbar. If the stenosis is significant enough, it may compress the spinal cord and cause neurologic symptoms. Thoracic spinal stenosis is more likely to cause symptoms of pain, numbness, or tightness in a band-like distribution around the chest. However, occasionally stenosis at a higher level may still cause lower level symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, or weakness.

After days of speculation in the media and, in a bid to "to achieve fully shared childcare from day one" of a child's life, the Government has today announced its intentions for changing parental leave and the right to request flexible working. While the news will come as no surprise to many, given manifesto commitments and similar proposals contained in a previous Government consultation, it will be challenging for employers to make these changes work in practice.
Eversheds provides a summary of all the announcement's changes, including a particular focus on flexible working, flexible parental leave and unpaid parental leave within the EU.

Male swan 'adopts' eggs at Abbotsbury Swannery
A male swan at Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset has "adopted" the eggs of a female whose mate had died.
Swanherds said it was "highly unusual" for a cob not to to kill young that are not his own.
The first of hundreds of cygnets have begun hatching at the swannery, the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world.
It was established in the 11th Century, when Benedictine monks began farming the birds for their banquets.
'Very odd'
The pen (female swan) recently lost her mate when it was killed in a territorial dispute.
Swanherds put up a fence to protect her nest but another neighbouring cob swam downstream and has adopted her eggs as his own.
Deputy Swanherd Steve Groves said he had not seen such "very odd" behaviour in 25 years of working on the lagoon near Chesil Beach.
"This seems to go against what scientists call the 'selfish gene', where you would expect a cob to kill young that don't belong to him," he said.
"Staying true to the old adage that swans mate for life, we believe she will stay paired with him and next year he will be able to father his own cygnets with her."
The eggs are expected to hatch overnight.
About 100 breeding pairs of swans at Abbotsbury Swannery have produced about 500 eggs.
The hatching of the first cygnet is traditionally taken as a sign that summer has arrived.
This year first cygnet was born early on 16 May, while in 2012 the first one was born at the end of April.

Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal
Exhibition marks first ever Yves Saint Laurent retrospective in the UK
Pictures: Courtesy of the Bowes Museum and the Fondation Pierre Berge
A landmark retrospective of iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent is coming to the UK's Bowes Museum in Country Durham.
In association with the Fondation Pierre Bergé, the exhibition, the first of its kind to reach our shores, will provide a comprehensive look at the designer's life and work and will feature seminal pieces from his back catalogue including Le Smoking tuxedo and the Mondrian dress.
"We are honoured to host the first exhibition in the UK of Yves Saint Laurent, one of the most influential fashion designers of all time," said Joanna Hashagen, fashion curator at the Bowes Museum. "We are also thrilled to work, alongside the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent, on an innovative display that will introduce a dialogue between the designer's body of work and The Bowes Museum's collection. This certainly is a great moment in the history of The Bowes Museum, as well as for fashion display in the UK."
Saint Laurent became a household name in the late 1950s following a stint as the creative director at the house of Dior. After starting his own eponymous line in 1962, his career skyrocketed, with women the world over aspiring to wear his innovative and daring designs. In 1983 he was the first living designer to be granted a retrospective by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Yves Saint Laurent: Style Is Eternal opens on 11 July – 25 October at the Bowes Museum. For more information visit the Bowes Museum website here.

The Downtown Art & Craft Market is a project of Downtown SLC Presents, a nonprofit organization working to promote cultural and artistic experiences in Downtown Salt Lake City through placemaking, promotional activities and programs that enliven the cultural core of the community throughout the year.
The Downtown Alliance started the Downtown Farmers Market (DFM) in 1992 to create a new tradition in downtown Salt Lake City by providing an opportunity for local growers, food and craft artisans to sell directly to the public. The DFM has found great success in connecting Utah's rural and urban communities. A second mission was to add the energy and vitality of a market to aid in the growth and development of the neighborhood surrounding Pioneer Park. This year, the Market celebrates its 26th year in Historic Pioneer Park – another delicious season full of local flavors.
In 2003, the Salt Lake Downtown Art & Craft Market was established and now runs adjacent to the DFM to accommodate the increased demand for locally made goods. Our mission extends beyond our growers to encompass the broader community of business. The result is a certain 'feel' unique to Utah providing a window to our region.
The Downtown Art & Craft Market features unique local art and handmade crafts. We encourage artists working in new or traditional styles to apply. Our objective is to create a colorful and authentic display of quality, locally made, handmade crafts and artwork at varied prices. A jury of qualified professionals will review the Downtown Art & Craft Market applications. Jurors' decisions are based on quality and appeal as well as the overall balance of the various media represented.
The Art & Craft Market can accommodate more than 120 full and part time vendors offering a wide variety of creations. Market patrons can expect to find locally made personal care products, home décor, leather goods, woodwork, clothing, ceramics, jewelry and fine traditional or contemporary artwork.
Please click on the following button to access the 2017 Art & Craft Market Guidelines and Application:

A rave review from the religious right:
Besides Obama, how many times have you seen a presidential candidate get up in front of a large crowd and talk in depth about his salvation? I'll give you the answer: Zero. For Obama to stand up and talk about how Jesus changed his life, my friends that takes guts. You may disagree with everything he's about, you may disagree with his policy goals but as Christians, shouldn't we like it when someone talks about Christ being the missing ingredient in his life? ...
Barack Obama seems to want to bring the country together as best he can on this issue of faith and politics. His heart appears as though it's in the right place. To "call out" leaders of the Christian Right like that seemed a little too broad for my taste. (watch those comments here )He blanketed a lot of people with one broad brush. If you really look closely at those leaders of the Christian Right, it doesn't seem fair to pigeonhole all of them in the same category and to say all they care about are abortion, gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design. These leaders have spoken out and taken action on issues like the genocide in Darfur, poverty in America, torture techniques, helping people after devastating natural disasters, etc. Do they focus on abortion and gay marriage more than progressives? Yes but is that such a crime to believe that God would be against it?
To me though, the criticism of the religious right was a small part of the speech. I saw it more as an uplifting speech that can bring people of faith together. For example, Obama talked about how God SHOULD NOT be removed from the public square.
Yes, Obama is aggressively staking his candidacy in part on an explicitly religious appeal. In this, he is Bush's natural successor, and threatens to make secular politics even more elusive in a fundamentalist age. He also threatens, if he pulls it off, to be a transformational candidate, turning American politics into a battleground primarily between those who believe the Gospels mandate an expansive welfare state and those who believe they mandate government's moral regulation of human birth, death and sex. For my part, I believe Jesus had no politics, let alone the big government politics of our time. And the attempt of both right and left to coopt his truth corrupts faith and politics simultaneously.

Thanks to some great efforting by David Farkas I was able to get 2 S2 bodies with 70, 180 lenses for a recent 4 day trip to Bologna. I took a M9 w 21 lux as backup.PaulT
Have you considered a Hasselblad system... the raw shadow fill in Phocus 2.1 would help a great deal.
Dick... any RAW converter provides shadow and highlight recovery.
Maybe... but I think Phocus 2.1 is an order of magnitude better... did you try to e-fill the shadows in your pictures?When I get the H4D-60 and post sample files, shadow recovery/noise is one of the "real world" "real differences" I will be looking for, particularly as Phase, apparently, has problems with this (Dalsa 60 Mpx) chip.
Can you enlighten us on WHERE Phase has problems with the Dalsa sensor PLEASE.
Have you not read this forum?
Dick I know about 10 or more folks with P65 backs and no one has said a word on ANY issues. I have shot it personally at least a dozen times on workshops and with Jack. So show me the threads and on what is wrong. And no i do NOT read every word on forums. I own one myself and I am a working pro so my time is limited.The only problem I ever had with a P65 was a pre production model before deliveries where made to the public . Other than that I have not heard a word on Dalsa issues in the P65. Is this urban myth or something since Phase, my dealer and owners have never said one word of any issues.
I had visited Hasselblad Factory in early February 2010 with a prior arrangment by Shriro HK.I had used the Imacon I96 and then upgraded to I96C DB with Rollei 6008 since 2000 and then dropped the whole system in 2006 and decided to choose Hasselblad H3D as my core system.In addition, I had also visited the previous named Rollei Factory in Braunsweigh and Leica Factory in Solms in 2005.I had discovered an important news regarding a gentleman called Mr Hans (I supposed is the key man from Rollei in charged of the Sales in Asian Countries at that time) Rollei is suffering a serious financial difficulties during 2005-2007.Beside this, our (Ex-Rollei) HK distributor - Jebsen Group didn't place many orders from Rollei and the agreement was expired @9/2008, however, we have a parallel importer in HK whom I found out all this stories from 2005 onwards.Anyway, I was very happy and satisfied with what I have seen and learned from this Trip. Hasselblad's guy is very nice, with passion, with all their Superb Technical knowledge and well managed operation.I was lucky I had make this decision in 2006 to drop all my Rollei systems which I had used the Brand for over 20 years.Most of the replies do have an Brief English Translation, indeed, the Chinese version especially on the 1st page is the FULL Original Version.
If there is any issue like this i would have heard from Doug, Dave , Steve or Phase itself.
If I decide to by an hd40 or whatever it's called, and sell off my 4 contax's and 2 phase backs, a p31+ and a p21+ WILL I SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FINAL FILE? Not a pixel peeping put a loupe on a 30" monitor difference but are the skin tones better, the color response prettier and not so Phase blotchy exact?BC
Quote from: tho_masDick... any RAW converter provides shadow and highlight recovery.Maybe... but I think Phocus 2.1 is an order of magnitude better...
So you believe that
Are these finished pictures, or un-post-processed?Did you just use ambient, or any flash-fill or reflectors?Have you considered a Hasselblad system... the raw shadow fill in Phocus 2.1 would help a great deal.
Hi everybody,The Zacuto test has been posted by them some days ago and discussed in 2 or 3 different threads here for days now.It's a very informative test anyway.If I remember there were some interesting thoughts about Red Cameras.What was not clear in the test and has not been answered so far that I know, is the Skywalker ranch movie: with what gear has it been filmed?A mixed of all the cameras tested?Coming back to Red Cameras, if Canon is going to Raw video soon, it will be a great dilema for RED.The other point that I still do not understand, is the constant insistance from James Russel (it starts to be legendary) to have the speed and flexibility of the Canons in MFD.The reason why I do not understand it is because James is not convinced that putting the systems in a test, there will be (at least for 90% of his works) a noticiable difference. So what's the point if the gear and system that responds to James whishes already exists?But (ok, maybe, for the fun) there is actually a difference...and the price to pay today is slower and less versatility.But if Phase or whoever increments the sensor speed, will we not need to increment power in all the chain involved also?Or this upgrade will be done in such a way that we would notice a speed increment with the same computers...mmm...that sounds strange.So to power a studio if things keep going that way we'll soon need a nuclear central just for us right? And dozens of coolers, and more engineers,and as we know that photography is paid better and better, what a nice world to live in.Seriously, what's the best speed we can have with MFD today with the very best computers availables? If my calculations are not wrong it is +- 60 frames/min + about 50sec to have all the frames, so we are talking about 2 minutes for 60 frames.This is simply slow.Fred.
I think you took me out of context, but what I meant was on the Phase backs I own, I find skin tones and color rendition very exact, actually too exact. In other words if there is slight redness around a part of the face it picks it up to the point of enhancement.(We have always fixed this in post and every image, still or motion, that has a decent dollar value to it goes through many rounds of post production, but on set, first frame, first impressions mean a lot).It had nothing to do with shadow detail or anything dark as long as the iso of a p30+ doesn't go over 200. Past 200 I see some detail loss, but that's another topic.
So you believe that Phase or their sales people would tell you if there was a problem, and I am a fool for taking note of what I read?
...you have users that have not mentioned it or a user ME that owns a P40+ back and that shot the P65+ more times than I can count and i do not see any issues at all. Plus tested the P65 at least 3 times formally...

Kinesio tape has caught the eye of many an Olympic viewer the last two weeks — covering the muscles of volleyball players, javelin throwers, even swimmers. It was invented decades ago by a Japanese chiropractor. Athletes say it eases muscle strain and allows healing, but research has yet to prove the effectiveness of the tape. Melissa Block talks with Amy Powell, a sports medicine doctor at the University of Utah about the tape.

"The World is asleep". And Zach Green and Fatal Pictures hope to shake you out of your slumber with their latest short film, written and directed by Richard Powell, titled Familiar. You should remember Green and Powell's previous efforts with their other slow-burn short film Worm. (Interview here, Review here). Familiar has already garnered critical praise from Dread Central, Fangoria, Ain't It Cool News, and of course a bearded nod of appreciation from Wes Allen, the J.J. Jameson to my Peter Parker here at the Blood Sprayer. I was asked by producer Zach Green to give my thoughts on their efforts and I was happy to oblige.
John, played by the talented Robert Nolan from Worm, is stuck in a loveless marriage. Yearning to escape, he counts the days until his oldest child is off to college and he can vanish to start living the life he always wanted. Unfortunately his wife surprises him with news of another child soon on the way and it's up to John to think of a way out before the noose of his wasted life cinches around his neck forever. The actions he takes though are well deserving of a trip to the gallows.
Much of the dialogue is internalized offering a cruel and cold look at the world around John. His heart is filled with nothing but malice as he dissects the actions and intentions of those around him like a disgusted surgeon pilfering through shit filled intestines. Gone is the slick, snarky dialogue that riddled Worm. Instead many things are left unsaid in Familiar, but what is communicated is that we are not all God's children and for damn good reason. Imagine being partnered with Kevin from THE WONDER YEARS, all grown up into the disappointment we knew he would be dealing with a life much of us are striving to have and keep. That is to say, imagine behind all those cute, yet awkward silences between that special someone you've invested the better part of your youth are actually the very moments that fuel the fire of your lover's never-ending hatred for you and all you've built together. That warm feeling nostalgia should have given you should now be replaced by the shiver of self-loathing.
The set design and cinematography rival that of anything you'd see on network television. There are no wasted shots as the editing keeps the film moving at a steady pace, matching the movements of each manipulation invoked from the story. You're not forced so much as compelled to move forward in your viewing of this film. You're not so much watching it as you are witnessing it. It's a tragic thing to see the psyche of your protagonist shatter and then have your remaining cast stabbed, poked, and prodded with those shards. What is a more interesting take is Powell's exploration into body horror and the use of special effects to heighten the drama and escalate the tension. There's a bit of evil inside all of us, but not quite like what you'll see with John.
Familiar pushes the envelope in all the right directions for Horror fans. The slow burn style of storytelling sizzles along as you brace for impact, not knowing fully how dangerous of a scenario you are in. This short serves as the calling card Fatal Pictures has needed to attract investors into a full length feature film. I sincerely believe that audiences are craving such cerebral and visceral horror, something that will truly unease us and make us uncomfortable without the desensitization normally associated with contemporary cinema.
If you're able, catch Familiar as an Official Selection at the 2012 Texas Frightmare Weekend. You can keep up to date with more developments concerning Familiar and Fatal Pictures from their website here. Keeps eyes peeled for future screenings at upcoming film festivals.

Mining at former Mayview site denied
A request by Aloe Brothers, LLC to mine coal at the site of the former Mayview State Hospital in South Fayette Township was denied by the township's three-member zoning hearing board.
The vote was 1-1 with Fred Cardillo voting to approve the special exception to allow mining and Mike Iagnemma voting to deny. Prior to the vote, John Alan Kosky, zoning hearing board president recused himself and did not vote. The 1-1 tie resulted in denial of Aloe Brothers' application.
In September, Aloe Brothers requested a special exception to allow mining at the site and also challenged the validity of a section of the township's zoning ordinance for B-1 (business) districts. The validity challenge was also denied by the zoning hearing board.
Aloe Brothers, which purchased the property along Mayview Road in 2010 for $505,505, had wanted to mine coal on about 37 acres of the property. Based upon sampling conducted at the site, it is estimated there is about 330,000 tons of coal that could have been mined.
Before the 1-1 tie, Cardillo made several motions to approve Aloe Brothers request to mine coal, which included restrictions on the times in which coal could be extracted and blasting could have occurred.
Cardillo also said that prior to Aloe Brothers' purchasing the property, there was a task force in charge of finding a buyer for it. Cardillo pointed out the task force included several state representatives, as well as former South Fayette Township Manager Mike Hoy and current South Fayette Board of Commissioners President Deron Gabriel.
Cardillo added that the two bidders for the property "both had intentions of mining coal."
"Everyone involved in the process along with all the members of the Mayview Task Force understood the intension of these companies to mine this coal," Cardillo said.
Prior to recusing himself from the vote, Kosky said that at the Sept. 25 zoning hearing board meeting, Township Solicitor Jonathan Kamin requested he recuse himself "because I would allegedly be biased due to pending legal action I and others have against the township unrelated to the present Aloe case."
Kosky, who has served on the zoning hearing board for 18 years, is among the members listed in a suit against the township regarding its comprehensive plan. He and Cuddy Partners, LP, along with Range Resources, are also involved in a substantive validity challenge to the township's oil and gas zoning ordinance regarding a 400 acre piece of property along Cecil-Sturgeon Road. A hearing on that matter will take place next month.
Kosky said during his tenure on the board he has heard and rendered decisions in more than 100 cases.
"Mr. Kamin's accusations that I could not do so here because of litigation completely unrelated to this case are without merit and personally insulting. I question his motives," Kosky read in a prepared statement. However, Kosky added he recused himself so that "no question can be raised regarding my alleged bias."
After the meeting, Kosky said the fact that he recused himself was "totally unrelated" to any pending litigation with the township, adding he has always "looked out for the goodwill of the township."
Aloe Brothers has 30 days from receipt of the zoning hearing board's written decision to file an appeal.
"I'm going to recommend we appeal," said William Sittig, attorney for Aloe Brothers.
"If a comparable use is allowed, it's not really that complicated," Sittig said of oil and gas being permitted as a conditional use in the B-1 district although mining is not.
The Dec. 9 meeting was the last for zoning hearing board members Cardillo and Kosky, who were not reappointed to another term. Joseph Gagliardino and Renee Bennett were appointed and will take their seats on the board in January.
The zoning hearing board will meet at 7 p.m. Jan. 13 at the South Fayette Middle School auditorium to hear testimony on the substantive validity challenge from applicants Cuddy Partners and Range Resources. Testimony on the matter is scheduled to continue at 7 p.m. Jan. 14.

Scotland could be £5 billion a year better off in 15 years' time without having to raise taxes if it became independent, the country's First Minister has claimed.
Alex Salmond spoke out as a new paper was published by the Scottish Government, detailing how it believes a Yes vote in September's referendum could help boost the economy north of the border.
An increase of 0.3 percentage points in the long run productivity growth rate could raise an additional £2.4 billion a year in revenues by 2029/30, according to the Scottish Government.
Meanwhile, upping the employment rate in Scotland by 3.3 percentage points - taking it to the level of the five best-performing countries in the developed world - could provide additional revenues of £1.3 billion a year, the paper claims.
A rise in the population, which is less than the UK as a whole is expected to see, could net a further £1.5 billion a year by 2029/30, it argues.
Mr Salmond said the Outlook For Scotland's Public Finances paper "gives a very clear picture of what independence could deliver in economic terms for the people of Scotland".
He argued: "By increasing productivity by 0.3 percentage points per annum, boosting the working-age population by less than the predicted UK rate, and increasing the employment rate by just over three percentage points, bringing Scotland up to the same standard as the top countries in the OECD, we can generate over £5 billion a year of extra revenues within 15 years, without increasing tax by a penny.
"Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, more prosperous per head than the UK, France and Japan, but we need the powers of independence to ensure that that wealth properly benefits everyone in our society.
"That wealth means we will start life as an independent nation with strong finances and huge economic potential.
"The latest figures show that by using the powers that only independence will bring we can deliver an independence bonus with increased revenues for Scotland.
"The choice Scotland will make in September is between the opportunity to grow our economy, to boost revenues and to invest in public services, or to continue with an economic policy set in Westminster that ignores Scotland's needs.
"This analysis shows that on all headline measures of the public finances, Scotland's fiscal position is forecast to be stronger than, or at the very least level with, the UK position."
The total "bonus" is worth about £1,000 for every person in Scotland, Mr Salmond said.
"We project that over a 15-year period, the tax revenue addition is £5 billion - around £1,000 a head for every man, woman and child in Scotland, or some £2,000 for each Scottish family," he said.
"We describe that as the bonus of independence - the independence bonus.
"Not caused by increase in taxes, but by increase in productivity, increase in the working-age population and an increase in employment.
"These figures encapsulate the difference between the two campaigns that will be played out over the next three months and more.
"Our campaign is being based on putting forward the potential of the Scottish economy, understanding the strengths this country has."
The anti-independence campaign is based on fear, he claimed.
"We don't think that scaremongering stands up to a moment's examination," Mr Salmond said.
The financial details are published six months after the Scottish Government's heavily-anticipated White Paper on independence.
At the same time, an updated oil and gas report sets out projections for North Sea tax receipts.
The Scottish Government's intervention comes on the same day the Treasury publishes its own work which claims to reveal the cost of independence.
But the UK Government's figure of £2.7 billion is heavily disputed - not least by the academic whose research underpinned the prediction.
Professor Patrick Dunleavy, of the London School of Economics, told the Financial Times that the Treasury's figures are "bizarrely inaccurate".
"I don't see why the Scottish Government couldn't do this for a very small amount of money," he said.
Mr Salmond, speaking at Scottish Government headquarters in Edinburgh, said the figures have been badly manipulated and were more likely to be in the region of £250 million.
He said further research by Professor Robert Young of the University of Western Ontario, which puts the figure at £1.5 billion, had also been misrepresented.
The First Minister said: "This is the most devastating hole blown in the Treasury's assumptions - not just assumptions about administrative costs, the set-up costs of an independent Scotland, but also it typifies their entire approach to this debate.
"It is a blow to Treasury credibility and the credibility of the UK Government and 'project fear' and the Better Together campaign from which they'll find it extremely difficult to recover."
But the First Minister said no detailed work has been done by the Scottish Government to work out its own total figure for the cost of independence.
Instead, he said any set-up cost has to take into account the £110 billion share of UK assets Scotland could be entitled to in negotiations after independence.
Evidence of savings are already seen in the creation of the new tax body Revenue Scotland, he argued.
Buying services from HM Revenue and Customs would have cost £22.3 million over seven years while the "actual" cost of using Revenue Scotland will be £16.7 million, he said.
"We think that's a reasonable estimate that Prof Dunleavy, an expert in the field, has made and we put it into the context of a share of the assets that is worth £110 billion - that's 400 times the potential start-up costs of what share Scotland would be entitled to," he said.

In other words are you better off with an active crossover no matter how good your built-in speaker crossover may be and one should consider an external active crossover and bi-amping if the speaker design and funds allow it? Aside from the flexibility that an active, external crossover allows, what makes a crossover good or bad from a sound quality perspective?

The loss leaves the conference team with a 3-1 record. The Big Ten concludes its five-game European tour with a rematch against Sopron on Thursday, Aug. 17.
Sopron led by as many as 14 points in the second half. Reese scored five-straight points during one stretch to pull the Big Ten within six points but it wasn't enough to overcome the bigger, more experienced European team.

The inaugural Southeast WV Farm Gathering aims to give farmers the tips and tools they need for success.
More than 100 farmers will attend Monday and Tuesday's event that features classes, vendors and on-site displays at the state fairgrounds in Fairlea.
"The idea behind these regional farm gatherings that we are doing is to take resources, training and stuff to people who live there," said Kelly Crane of the West Virginia Farmers Market Association.
The association's annual event, which Crane said is still important, isn't free like the regional gatherings and many farmers have to travel long distances.
Having regional farm gatherings in addition to the annual statewide gathering allow for some aspects of the conference to be tailored to what a certain region's farmers need, Crane said.
The West Virginia Farmers Market Association recently hosted a farm gathering in the eastern panhandle that will be a similar style to the upcoming gathering but in Charleston the association hosted an urban agriculture conference.
"This event is cool because it's designed by stakeholders in cooperation with state level folks," Crane said.
In the last two and half months, organizers along with local practitioners, farmers and vendors, and held a series of conference calls to decide what classes to offer, who would they teach them and who would be in charge of what.
Classes about the nuts and bolts of business planning for profitability, best practices for long-term sustainability from regional aggregations and product liability insurance, are intended to help farmers grasp business concepts.
"Farmers do not traditionally keep great records," Crane said. "This is just giving them more tools."
There's also the body care for farmers class, which Crane admits she would have never thought to offer.
"The thing about top-down processes is they are really efficient but they don't get the collaborative spirit that we were looking for with this event," Crane said. "We've got a lot of people working on this. It's a really big group effort."
Event organizers hope to offer something for every level of farmer.
"Farm-based businesses look really different," Crane said. "There is no one size fits all and we are really wanted to offer trainings, workshops and resources for people who were through that whole spectrum of farm businesses because all of them serve a really important niche."
Crane added West Virginia has a lot of well-established and high-production farmers who may be in their 50s or 60s.
"When they age out of the farming population, we have to have the small, new and beginning farmers that are getting incubated and trained ready to fill that gap," Crane said.
The gathering will also spotlight local food. The food provided at lunch and dinner will be only from all local farmers and vendors.
Farmers attending will also have a chance to help their farm business. Qualifying farmers have a chance to win a high tunnel package and a marketing package at the gathering.
The event is poised to have a good turnout.
"It filled up really fast," Crane said. "We filled up before the cut off date and then we expanded it a little."
Crane said a natural buzz was created from local folks being involved in the planning process talking to their friends, family and neighbors about the event.
She was pleasantly surprised about the diversity of the attendees in terms of geography. People are coming from 15 different counties and five different states.
"We got a lot more love from the statewide crowd than we expected," Crane said. "People are connected to our communications network and they have really liked some of the offerings we have had for workshops and are willing to travel."
The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, Farm Credit of the Virginias, Farm Family Insurance, West Virginia Farmers Market Association, Change the Future West Virginia and West Virginia Department of Education sponsored the event.

John Legend Pushes Back Tour Dates to Finish Album
John Legend is saving room in his schedule for his new album.
The singer has pushed back his fall tour dates to 2013 to spend more time wrapping up "Love in the Future," he announced in a note on his website.
"We announced the dates before we'd finished the album because we were sure we'd finish the album in time," he wrote. "But, unfortunately, while the creative process has been exciting and I'm pretty certain we're going to deliver the best album of my career so far, the timing hasn't adhered to the schedule I originally envisioned. In other words, we're not done with the album."
He apologized to fans who have spent their "hard-earned money," adding that he's rarely missed a performance over the years.
An Oct. 27 performance at the Borgata Spa and Resort Event Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, will continue as planned.
Legend's "Love in the Future" will be his first solo set since 2008's "Evolver." He's been working with frequent collaborator Kanye West, who has served as a producer on each of Legend's albums.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hi, and welcome to Just Answer. Thank you for entrusting me with your legal issue. I will do my best to assist you. During the course of our interaction , I may need some additional information. Also, please keep in mind that when any of us at JA legal answers a question, we don't know what you, the customer, already knows about the issue unless we are told
DON'T TOUCH THE LOAN!! THE INTEREST RATE IS GREAT. Here's what you do.. You need to decide among you, mom and sis:
1. Whether you want to charge mom rent to live there (this is legal/business)
2. Who should pay the mortgage, interest, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.
3. Most importantly...who can take the deductions for interest, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.
How can either of us decide on these deductions when the loan is in my deceased grandmothers name?
My sister and I also inherited a small amount of money that we have to give to our mother so that she can pay the loan payment, insurance, taxes and repairs. Crazy as it sounds my mother set it up this way so that she could leave us something after she passes nor did she want the state to take the money. At the time she was on medicaid. Now she receives social security and is on medicare and doesn't make enough to file taxes.
You can agree among yourselves IN WRITING...example...divorced couple decides who takes the child exemption on tax return...OK as long as only one takes it.
Ok regarding of the balance of the info provided. But has Medicaid paid grandma's expenses so that they have asserted a lien on the house. Better check.
Fortunately it was my mother on medicaid and not my grandmother. No liens on the house.
Thank-you so much!

rescue system commands
Hi All,
Is there a list of special commands that you should use when booting from the "rescue system" (on the installation CD-R)? When I tried to see if there was indeed a rescue option on my CD, there was, but it didn't respond to commands such as "ls". Or maybe I should be mounting something?
I have SuSE 9.1 Personal (free, from a magazine).
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
there is single user mode booting in every distro of linux & unix and you have to mount the root / file system in rw (read ,wrte ) mode to troubleshoot it through editing files if you have to troubleshoot it through commands then you don't need to mount root files system .I have n't used suse so can't tell you about . single user mode is also called rescue mode .
take care
Hi qadri409,
So single user is equivalent to rescue? Oh! Thanks, I didn't realise that.
I thought I'd posted to the Suse group?
I dont' think I'm too much wiser, but I do thank you for your input.

Sisters in Dubai lived through a reign of torture and terror
Dubai: For close to six months, the body of little Wudeema lay decomposing in a grave in the desert near the village of Al Fayah, just off the Hatta-Oman road.
Some time between December 2011 and June 2, death's decay slowly removed the evidence of the tragic life this eight-year-old Emirati girl endured, her living breath tortured from her body at the hands of her father, Hamad S. and his live-in girlfriend, Al Anoud A.
On Wednesday, the Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced the 27-year-old Emirati to death for his role in killing the mild-mannered Wudeema and for torturing and assaulting his other daughter, seven-year-old Meera.
She survived a reign of terror and torture at her father's hands and implements. His girlfriend, 25-year-old Al Anoud, was sentenced to spend the rest of her life behind bars for helping kill and torture the two girls in her care.
For all of the horrors Wudeema endured, her legacy will live on beyond her years in a law that, on the instructions of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, will be named after the eight-year-old victim.
"Every child has a right to have a safe life, constant care, and emotional and psychological stability. There will be no leniency with people who violate the rights of children — they are the future," Shaikh Mohammad said in November when the law was approved by the UAE Cabinet.
But no law could have predicted or prevented the litany of terror Hamad and Al Anoud inflicted on the girls. Both were whipped with electric cords, burnt with cigarette butts and shocked with a Taser-like weapon, locked for hours on end in a closet and left without food — to the point where, in one statement in court, Hamad claimed that his daughters voluntarily ate their own faeces.
Their torture chamber was a small studio apartment in International City where, behind closed doors, the girls were beaten and abused. The cooker in the home also was used as a torture implement.
Hamad's fall from normalcy into a twisted and criminal lifestyle had been rapid — he lost his government job and was addicted to Tramadol. His first marriage to his wife, Salma, had ended in acrimony in 2006, with their two children becoming pawns in the parental feud.
At their villa in Al Barsha, Hamad's own parents — Saud, a retired employee of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and his wife Aida — tried to watch out as best they could for their third child and their two granddaughters. They were even made guardians for little Wudeema and Meera.
"But then when the children were sent to live with us, their mother claimed we kidnapped the children and the police took the children back to their mother," Aida told XPRESS, Gulf News's sister publication, in June. She added that Salma abandoned Meera outside their house without letting them know.
The custody battle left the children fearful.
"Wudeema begged me not to allow them to be handed back to their father. I let them go because as a grandmother I thought that the girls must go to a school their father chose for them, and because of the court hearing," the grandmother said Before the girls left, Aida said she had lectured her son: "I told him 'they are your daughters, treat them with kindness. Girls are not like the boys'."
The last time Hamad's wider family saw his children was some time in December, 2011.
As days turned into weeks — and all the while as Wudeema's body lay in the desert near Al Fayah — Hamad's relatives were anxious to see the two girls. At Khor Fakkan in March, the family gathered. Hamad was there too, along with Al Anoud — but no girls. When asked, the two said Meera and Wudeema were with their maternal mother, and after the turbulent history, the less said the better.
But the facade was beginning to crack and Hamad, jobless and always looking for the next fix of painkillers, was off the rails. By the end of May, he was under arrest in Fujairah. On Wednesday night, May 30, the family had had enough of wondering and worrying. On Aida's insistence, Mohammad, Hamad's eldest brother, went over to the flat in International City.
Beyond the locked door, Mohammad heard Meera inside crying for help. She was alone in the flat.
He phoned Al Anoud. "She told me that everything was fine but refused to come to International City to open the door."
The hysterical cries of Meera wouldn't stop. Desperately he tried all the keys he had with him to open the main door. Luckily, one key worked — and luck for Meera too as she had wounds all over her body.
"It was the first time I talked to Meera in many months," Mohammad recounted, making the instant decision to take his niece to Abu Dhabi where he lives. But it was a journey that would change all forever.
"During the drive, Meera told me that Wudeema was wrapped by her father after she lost consciousness, taken out of the house and never came back," he said.
He swung his car around, drove to Rashidiya Police station and began to talk.

Sign up for our weekly email * The Sun's crime correspondent Mike Sullivan claims the Metropolitan Police grades journalists on how favourable their coverage is. Sullivan told the Leveson Inquiry the force has analysts who scan newspapers looking for potential leaks, adding: "Such is the extent of media monitoring in the Met, that I believe that they even have charts on individual reporters with a system of marking to show if they are regarded as being favourable or not towards the Met." "I was told that that system existed and I quite believe it," he told Lord Justice Leveson. Sullivan said he was unable to explain exactly how the system works but said he was told about its existence by someone with direct knowledge of the "grading system". The counsel to the Metropolitan police, Neil Garnham QC, denied the force graded journalists according to favourable coverage, but Sullivan insisted: "I was reliably informed three to four, perhaps five, years ago that there was such a system."

London, Jan. 7 (ANI): 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has been described as a "modern love story involving two complex characters," by the film's screenwriter.
Kelly Marcel, the British screenwriter charged with translating the bestselling book for the big screen, told Style magazine that the BDSM-obsessed Christian Grey is an "old-fashioned and romantic" hero and the success of the novel was not just down to sex, the Telegraph reported.
Instead, she said that it was the romance of the sado-masochistic tale that appealed to women. (ANI)
