Psssst. The Woof Reporters want to let you in on something. We absolutely love your ideas, recipes and pup-centric know-how. Keep your fabulous tips and suggestions coming, and we'll continue to share them. In the meantime, check out just a few of our favorites.
Slurp Solution
"Invert a smaller bowl in your dog's water dish. It encourages your dog to lap water instead of dunking his whole face in the water bowl. No more floods on the floor too."
- Marley
Treat 'em Right
"There's a great way to save some cash, and still have yummy treats your dog will love. I use my vegetable dehydrator to dehydrate chicken, beef, and hot dogs for training treats. The treats are more organic and the dogs love them."
- Shelby and Cooper
Be Petpared
"I am a dog walker/pet sitter. I always have a small bag of dog and cat treats in my car for an emergency, such as if a dog is on the run, or a can of cat food if a kitty is roaming the streets. Also, I carry a leash, paper towels, a towel, plastic bags and a bottle of water in my trunk. I also have several vet phone numbers logged in my cell as well as the police. You never know when you will come across a situation."
- Lori, Fred and Claude
Dander Buster
"Allergic to your dog? Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray is a great way to reduce pet dander in your home. It's non-toxic and safe around kids and pets. It works wonders for your allergies!"
We found more information online at www.clorox.com/anti-allergen
- Adrienne
Bowled Over
"I fill a plastic bowl with chicken broth, water and various treats and freeze it. Then I give it to Scarlett on hot days. She loves to gnaw on it to get to the treats and she enjoys crunching the icy broth. It helps to leave part of the treat (like munchy sticks or biscuits) sticking out a little bit."
- Scarlett
Refresh Your Walls
"I bought this new paint called Refresh from Dutchboy. It's great for pet owners, because it absorbs household odors. As much as I love my dogs, I don't want my house to smell like a kennel."
We found more information online at www.dutchboy.com/refresh.

This looks awesome. Not sure if its retractable dome or not. The article didnt get into details
This looks awesome. Not sure if its retractable dome or not. The article didnt get into details
Sorry guys the picture isnt showing up.
It's a canopy, not a retractable dome.
I think it looks pretty cool
Don't care in the least about the roof. Are the seats moved closer to the field so we can actually have a home-field advantage?
Fans would have to show up in order to have home field advantage.
Anybody demanding a roof should be ashamed of themselves as far as I'm concerned, the players are out there running around in the same conditions and its too much for some fans to just sit in a seat for a few hours? Whats next, an air conditioned tailgating area?
yknow I wasn't on the 'table top' bandwagon originally but after viewing the video mockup, I'm onboard! especially the World Cup setup friggin awesome!
When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
WVdolphan "Ireland gets it.
And those who also get it, know that Ireland gets it. Those who are clueless are still concerned about cornfed and the running game"
WVDOLPHAN "The last thing this team should be worried about is the OC(offensive corn). When you add it all up, its really a pretty solid OC"

Welcome to the Strikers FC Development Academy Website
The tryout schedule for The Strikers FC USSoccer Academy Boys for the 2013/2014:
In 2007, the Strikers FC in recognition of the club's historical success at developing accomplished players at the national, professional and collegiate levels, was granted by the United States Soccer Federation, the prestigious U.S. Soccer Development Academy designation. The Irvine Strikers are one of 79 Development Academy clubs nationwide and one of only nine in Southern California.
Under the direction of program Director Don Ebert, the Striker FC organization has embraced this bold new player development initiative and approach to training and has attempted to differentiate itself from other area programs in it's offering. Consistent with the philosophy of the Academy program, program participants are subjected to a more frequent and focused training regimen in an attempt to address developmental deficiencies in the American youth player as identified by U.S. Soccer. The Irvine Striker Academy program has also, in concert with USSF Academy guidelines, rebalanced it's training to match ratio; this to reduce the wear and tear on our players yet allow them to play in more meaningful competitions throughout the Development Academy season.
After two seasons of participation, our players are seeing the benefits of their efforts and commitment with a number of our players getting called upon to participate in National Team Camps, as well as being heavily recruited to some of the top college programs in the country.
We invite you to take a tour of this website, review the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Primer included under the menu of the same name, as well as invite any queries you may have regarding the Development Academy in general or the Striker FC Academy Program specifically.

The vote was 4-1, with County Commissioner Kitty Jung was the sole dissenter.
As chief, Moore oversees administration and operation of the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and sierra Fire Protection District in Washoe County.
Twenty-nine applications were received from 18 states across the country. The final three candidates interviewed and were selected from a field consisting of eight final applicants, said Jerald Freshour, Director of Executive Placement for ESCI.
Candidate Chief Charles Moore said that he was honored to be before the Commission and shared his experience as a professional firefighter for 23 years.
"Fire fighting has been a passion in my life. I started as a volunteer, Moore said. "Whether or not they are being paid, firefighters have a commonality, and that is, that they would like to serve the community in times of need."
The top three candidates were selected after a series of four panel interviews. The panel included 25 members representing local fire professionals, community members, business leaders and local government representatives.
The Board has repeatedly restated its commitment to create a sustainable regional fire service that provided services to all interested agencies.

The Raiders were paced by the outstanding efforts of junior Matt Bonds who placed first in the 3200 (10:04), the 1600 (4:39) and 800 (2:06) meter runs. Bonds contributed 36 of the Raiders 51 points for the fourth place finish.
Senior teammate Todd Kirk placed second in the 1600 and fifth in the 3200-meter runs.
Also scoring points for the Raiders were the 4x800 relay team of Bonds, Kirk, and ninth graders Quinton Thornton and Nick Robbins who came in third in the event.
Senior Austin Tate took sixth place in the high jump.
On the girl's side, seventh grader Rachel Faucett took seventh in the 3200-meter run and senior Destiny Parker was eighth in the discus.

Now 25 pounds lighter and more prepared to be the everyday catcher for Coach John Pawlowski's club, Austin says that he feels better than ever and he believes it will make a big difference for him this year.
"The good news is that when I trimmed down I didn't lose any of my strength," Austin says. "I'm about as strong as I was last year, but catching every day I feel 100 times better. To be able to run and catch and throw, I don't feel nearly as sore as I did last year.
"It doesn't take a toll on my body like it did last year. I knew I needed to drop some weight because at the end of the year I was falling off. In the summer it kicked in and I did a lot of treadmill work and a lot of running. It was good."
Blake Austin last season
One of the keys to Auburn's offensive attack this season, Austin is far from alone as first baseman Garrett Cooper, shortstop Dan Glevenyak, left fielder Cullen Wacker and center fielder Ryan Tella all return from a team that led the SEC in hitting in 2012.
Depending on newcomers such as third baseman Damek Tomscha, infielder Jordan Ebert and outfielders Sam Gilliken, Rock Rucker and Terrance Dedrick to help carry the load offensively, Austin believes this team has the makings of something special.
"Offensively we shouldn't have a problem," Austin says. "We've got plenty of veteran guys to lead the young guys into the season. I hope our older guys can take a handle on the younger guys and we'll be very good offensively."
Perhaps nobody on the Auburn roster has a better idea of the pitching staff this season than Austin. As a catcher he gets to see everyone up close and personal as the Tigers prepare for the new year. With sophomores Daniel Koger, Rocky McCord and Trey Cochran-Gill all in the mix for starting roles and newcomers such as Michael O'Neal, Trey Wingenter, and Conner Kendrick all expected to play big roles on the staff along with Dedrick, Austin says the group is deeper and stronger than any he's seen at Auburn.
"The pitching staff is deep," Austin says. "There are a lot of options and power arms that I haven't seen since playing summer ball in high school. There are a lot of guys throwing over 90 with good off-speed stuff. I'm proud of where we are right now, but there is a long way to go.
"The junior college guys step right in and they are old guys in my opinion," Austin says. "They have been around the block. They know exactly what they need to do in order to get guys out. Those guys are all good weapons for us out of the pen or even starting."
Hoping to take the program to another level after last season's 31-28 record, Austin says that when opening week comes around it's always an exciting time. As the Tigers prepare to face Maine this weekend at Plainsman Park in a four-game series Austin notes this team is ready to get it started.
"It's hard to explain really," Austin says. "You get butterflies because you know what it means to put in all that hard work in the fall and the summer and you're getting ready to play somebody else besides your teammates. It's like Christmas in February."
Game times for the weekend series against Maine are 3 p.m. on Friday, a doubleheader beginning at noon on Saturday, and 11 a.m. on Sunday.

Write on Wednesdays - Nature
"Think about a place in nature that feels special to you. Perhaps it is somewhere you visited as a child. Or maybe you share a special outdoor space with your own children. This place, this space will be your prompt for this week's writing exercise. Write about a particular natural geography, a natural place or space close to your heart. Tell us about the weather, the landform , the creatures who live there, what the place means to you and why. You can write prose fiction, poetry, non-fiction and/or a photographic narrative. You might mix the landscape with a personal story. Wherever the prompt take you...Let us peek into your place."
It's the same old scenario of unappreciated love heard the world over – you don't know how much you cherish something until it's taken away. Hence I never knew how much I needed the ocean until I moved (15,000kms!) away.
For the first 21 years of my life I lived in a beautiful, coastal town. Growing up, the beach was about a 7 minute drive away. And when I first moved out of home, at age 19, the sea was literally at the end of my (long) street.
Moving to London in 2001, besides many other massive life realisations, brought to my attention how much I missed the sweet, salty ocean, the vast expanses of golden sand, and the crystal clear view of a cobalt blue horizon.
It was 3 months until I was reunited with my long lost watery love and I still recall the day vividly. As we rounded a precarious hair pin bend, suddenly we were greeted with the breathtaking view that was the coastline of the French Rivieria. I let out an audible sigh of relief. My world seemed to level out to its correct axis when I knew there was water near by. And it was in that moment I realised I hadnt known just how much I missed it.
Sure, on the (rare) summery London day I lamented the fact there was no near the sea, not to mention I couldn't grasp the fact that people would traipse to a public park to strip off, settle back in their stripy green and white sun lounges and sun-bake… But it wasn't until that instance above, that I knew I needed the ocean in my life. It was almost akin to feeling quite claustrophobic without it close-by!
And even though I swam along the picturesque Amalfi coast and over on nearby Isle of Capri; I sunned myself in the world's most well known stretches of coastline, where the famous frolic, and the powerful people play on the French Riviera, I've cooled off on Greek Islands such as Crete, Santorini and Ios, on the Sicilian island Lipari, as well as the Mafia country itself, none have ever had the same pull as the beaches I had left behind in Oz.
It's almost hard to articulate what it is that draws me to my hometown coastline over any other place in the world; only that when I step foot on it I feel a rush of something pure. I don't even need to go into the water, I am content to simply sit, stare, contemplate, muse, for hours. Its my happy place. It brings inspiration, peace and, at times, comfort.
I watch the sunlight twinkle on the sea, dancing like a bejewelled ballerina; I witness the majesty of nature with her perfectly formed, foamy waves, and I see a coastline untainted by any imposing over development. It stretches on, as if arms open wide, welcoming me into its fold. And I am home.

Oh how I know that feeling very well. When you have lived by the ocean your whole life, you can feel the pull of it always. And no ocean is the same, I feel exactly the same way about the ocean on the horizon of my hometown! Great piece, I could see the ocean clearly, feel the same emotions you felt!

That was a stunning piece. I totally agree with you, as I am an ocean lover. Wonderful, wonderful writing!

No need to articulate for me..... I completely understand the drawn of the ocean. Nice post.

Donna, you really opened yourself up to us with this post. I can totally relate to the pull of the ocean and I loved the sunlight dancing like a bejeweled ballerina - just beautiful. I felt like I was rounding that corner to the French Riviera with you. Did you see the nature writing competition I mentioned on the latest WoW post? Check it out...I think you should enter...This piece can be your starting point

At first, I wasn't impressed. Oh, whoopee, this gizmo is going to buzz me when I walk out the door without my keys. Then the folks at Phone Halo happened to mention that if you keep going, it will go on to text you to tell you where you left your keys, post it on your facebook page, and twitter it out to all your friends. Finally, a good use of social media. (Of course, if you left them in a place you shouldn't have been in the first places—maybe not so good.)

Sadly, it wasn't attended by all the members of the full Committee on Science, Space and Technology. What a shame – it was the best hearing the committee has had in memory. Nothing against the hearing that included Neil Armstrong, Gene Cernan, Maria Zuber, and Mike Griffin; but this hearing had real substance.
The Space Leadership and Preservation Act of 2012 is NO Good - Part 1
Last Thursday Congressman Culberson (Texas), along with Congressmen Wolf (Virginia), Posey (Florida), and Smith (Texas) introduced the "Space Leadership and Preservation Act of 2012". It was widely covered by my media outlets and overall, and in some cases, wildly praised. However, monumental legislation like this deserves scrutiny as often times, monumental legislation contains monumental errors.
NewSpace 2012 and ITAR
Here is a video of Andrew at NewSpace 2012 talking ITAR and what you can do to help.

NASA Field Centers Under Scrutiny
Space News is reporting that an "ad hoc" panel of the National Research Council (NRC) is looking into possible NASA Field Center closures. This is a codeword for "downsizing". If NASA is to survive this must happen sooner rather than later. Here is a brief portion of the article:
The ad hoc panel of the National Research Council (NRC) has its origins in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (H.R. 2112), which funded NASA and other federal agencies. The law set aside $1 million for the NASA inspector general "to commission a comprehensive independent assessment of NASA's strategic direction and agency management."
Time for Senators to Acknowledge Need for ITAR Reform
It is time for Senators on both sides of the aisle to acknowledge that our commercial communications satellite manufactures need relief from oppressive International Trafficking of Arms Regulations (ITAR). For too long ITAR has crushed American companies and put them at a direct disadvantage to foreign competitors in the free market. Competitors to such companies as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, ATK, and Loral openly advertise ITAR free satellites which are easier to buy.
ITAR Reform Hits the Senate
The International Transfer of Arms Regulations (ITAR) reform has hit the United States Senate. Senator Bennet (D-CO) has introduced Senate Bill 3211 which would allow the President to remove certain items, commercial satellites, from the US Munitions List (USML) and ITAR requirements and move them to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

Earnings Smackdown: The best and worst Apple analysts of Q4 2010October 19, 2010: 5:18 AM ET
In the quarterly battle between bloggers and the Street, it's a split decision
This one can be summarized succinctly: The amateurs took the top and bottom lines; the pros swept unit shares and gross margin.
In our ranking of the best and worst Apple (AAPL) analysts for Q4 2010, which lists them based on how accurately they predicted revenue and earnings per share, the top three spots -- and nine of the top 13 -- were taken by bloggers.
In the more comprehensive Deagol Ranking (see below), which weighs analysts' performances in all the categories we polled, the pros took the first seven spots.
Deagol's list and the full annotated spreadsheet are pasted below the fold.
Hats off to three bloggers -- Financial Alchemist's Turley Muller, Apple Finance Board's Alexis Cabot and Deagol's AAPL Model Daniel Tello -- who topped our list, with a tip of the hat to Bullish Cross' Andy Zaky, who predicted Apple's EPS to within a penny.
Everybody underestimated those blow-out iPhone sales, but special mention goes to RBC's Mike Abramsky, who underestimated them less than anybody. Bernstein's Toni Saccanaghi took the honors for Mac unit sales. Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley nailed the iPod number.
And although nearly everybody overestimated how many iPads would be sold, three analysts published estimates that came within 188,000 units: Rodman & Renshaw's Ashok Kumar, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch's Scott Craig and William Blair's Ralph Schackart.
We're not sure what to say about Hudson Square's Daniel Ernst, who took first place in gross margin by a rounding error but came in dead last in revenue and EPS and missed the iPhone number by 4.6 million units.
Below: The full spreadsheet and the Deagol's Ranking.

What Smart Business Leaders Don't Know About Field Service
As a field service leader, you already know why field service is so critical to your organization's success. But what about the rest of the company? Is your sales VP dying to hear how you can now debrief multiple products on a single work order? Does your CMO care that first time fix rates are up? Probably not, but they should, because the benefits of flawless field service go far beyond productivity and cost savings. In short, field service keeps your customers running, and your company growing and thriving.
Third-Party Field Service – Stay On The Same Page To Deliver Resolution
Is there anything more difficult than coordinating a dispersed group of people to attain a complex set of goals & tasks? Buzz-y concepts like "herding cats" come to mind when we contemplate the challenges of managing a dynamic workforce to meet changing customer needs. In field service, each day (or hour) can be dramatically different, requiring varying levels of resources across the service network.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The palate is racy due to no shortage of acidity, and the flavor profile is led by a salty, briney almond and leather character. Sheer and serious, with not a sugar cube in sight."

Despite a novel construction and scuff-proof exterior, the LG G Flex's doesn't flex enough muscle against the Samsung Galaxy Round or the Note 3.
The LG G Pro 2 delivers plenty of power, a huge and lovely screen, and a feature-packed camera, but the Galaxy Note 3's stylus and superior styling give it the edge.
With its speedy and reliable performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a solid small-sized tablet, but for non-Verizon customers, the smoother and less expensive Google Nexus 7 is the better choice.
The G-Dock and G-Drive introduce a new level of flexibility in external storage, and performance is fast.
At CES 2013, Wilson Electronics finally adds a cell phone signal booster that supports LTE from all major U.S. carriers.

You can't beat the price of the Moto G, but the more expensive and more powerful Nexus 5 remains your shrewdest unlocked Android option.
If you have the cash and can master the design, the Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G-V booster delivers the strong signal your cell phone needs.
If you yearn for pure Android KitKat on the cheap, the Moto G Google Play Edition is worth the price, but power users should look elsewhere.
Android purists will find Google's mid-sized LG G Pad 8.3 more compelling, but it's pricier than the model that's overlaid with LG's skin.

Through the well-known program, the Salvation Army identifies families who need holiday help, lists each child in those families on paper cut out in the form of an angel and asks people in the community to "adopt" them as angels. Once the volunteers deliver the gifts from the children's wish lists, organizers and volunteers begin the arduous task of dividing toys into large black bags to be taken away by children's caregivers, but not every "angel" is adopted.
"We're in the final stages of filling the forgotten angels," Lind's husband, Salvation Army Capt. Bert Lind said early this week.
This year the Salvation Army in Anniston handed out more than 800 angels for adoption. Between 100 and 185 of those were not adopted and are known to the Salvation Army as "forgotten Angels," the Linds said.
All but about 15 to 25 of those forgotten angels Christmas gifts were in the Salvation Army's stockpile by the start of the week. Cristy Lind and a team of volunteers spent the first of the week scouring area stores for gifts to buy for the few forgotten angels that remained.
"It's a little bit stressful," Cristy Lind said by cell phone Tuesday, adding that she still had faith she'd fill all the children's requests on time. "God hasn't let me down yet and I don't think he's going to today."
All the gifts collected locally by the Salvation Army were to be divided out and passed off to parents and guardians by the end of the week, the Linds said.
The Salvation Army supplies children age 10 and under with gifts through the program. It works in conjunction with other organizations, including Interfaith Ministries, the Piedmont Benevolence Center and Toys for Tots to provide gifts for other children. At least one of those organizations sponsors older children at Christmas, Bert Lind said.
To qualify for the programs, families, who are screened in the fall, must have incomes that the federal government classifies as meeting the threshold for poverty. Bert Lind said the number of people who qualified for services went up this year.
Angel Tree is just one Christmas program that helps the Salvation Army assist people in need. This year the local Salvation Army participated in "Fill the Truck," a partnership program with Wal-Mart that developed at the big-box store's recommendation.
For that program, an area dealership donated a new truck to be parked at each of the five Wal-Marts in Calhoun County and two more in Talladega County.
Volunteer greeters were at the Wal-Marts one Saturday during December to ask customers to purchase one toy or child's clothing item to help fill the truck outside the store. The one-day event yielded roughly 435 gifts for children.
Many of those toys collected at the Wal-Mart stores, like the toys purchased this week by volunteers and Cristy Lind, will be used to fill in the holes in the Angel Tree program. That means they'll be used both for the forgotten angels and to purchase items donors didn't fulfill on the wishlists of children they adopted.
The Salvation Army is also famous for its red-kettle Christmas collections. Through that program, bell ringers collect money in red kettles from passersby.
Bert Lind said the local Salvation Army has collected more money from the red kettle campaign this year than it did in 2011.
The kettle campaign is the organization's No. 1 annual fundraiser. Money collected through the program will be used to help people throughout the year, Bert Lind said.

Harassment across Arab world drives women inside
Dec 16, 2009 07:35 PM »
This is so so sad. Shows that our emphasis on "outer dress for women" needs to change to "modesty and haya". Really disgusting really.
Harassment across Arab world drives women inside
CAIRO – The sexual harassment of women in the streets, schools and work places of the Arab world is driving them to cover up and confine themselves to their homes, said activists at the first-ever regional conference addressing the once taboo topic.
Activists from 17 countries across the region met in Cairo for a two-day conference ending Monday and concluded that harassment was unchecked across the region because laws don't punish it, women don't report it and the authorities ignore it.
The harassment, including groping and verbal abuse, is a daily experience women in the region face and makes them wary of going into public spaces, whether it's the streets or jobs, the participants said.
It happens regardless of what women are wearing.
With more and more women in schools, the workplace and politics, roles have changed but often traditional attitudes have not. Experts said in some places, like Egypt, harassment appears sometimes to be out of vengeance, from men blaming women for denied work opportunities.
Amal Madbouli,
who wears the conservative face veil or niqab
, told The Associated Press that despite her dress,
she is harassed and described how a man came after her in the streets of her neighborhood.
"He hissed at me and kept asking me if I wanted to go with him to a quieter area, and to give him my phone number," said Madbouli, a mother of two. "This is a national security issue. I am a mother, and I want to be reassured when my daughters go out on the streets."
Statistics on harassment in the region have until recently been nonexistent, but a series of studies presented at the conference hinted at the widespread nature of the problem.
As many as 90 percent of Yemeni women say they have been harassed, while in Egypt, out of a sample of 1,000, 83 percent reported being verbally or physically abused.
A study in Lebanon reported that more than 30 percent of women said they had been harassed there.
"We are facing a phenomena that is limiting women's right to move ... and is threatening women's participation in all walks of life," said Nehad Abul Komsan, an Egyptian activist who organized the event with funding from the U.N. and the Swedish development agency.
Harassment has long been a problem in Mideast nations. But it was little discussed until three years ago, when blogs gave posted amateur videos showing a crowd of men assaulting women in downtown Cairo during a major Muslim holiday in one of the most shocking harassment incidents in the region.
The public outcry sparked an unprecedented public acknowledgment of the problem in Egypt and elsewhere in the region, and drove the Egyptian government to consider two draft bills addressing sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment, including verbal and physical assault, has been specifically criminalized in only half a dozen Arab countries over the past five years. Most of the 22 Arab states outlaw overtly violent acts like rape or lewd acts in public areas, according to a study by Abul Komsan.
Participants at the conference said men are threatened by an increasingly active female labor force, with conservatives laying the blame for harassment on women's dress and behavior.
In Syria, men from traditional homes go shopping in the market place instead of female family members to spare them harassment, said Sherifa Zuhur, a Lebanese-American academic at the conference.
Abul Komsan described how one of the victims of harassment she interviewed told her she had taken on the full-face veil to stave off the hassle.
"She told me 'I have put on the niqab. By God, what more can I do so they leave me alone,'" she said, quoting the woman. Some even said they were reconsidering going to work or school because of the constant harassment in the streets and on public transpiration.
Where segregation between the sexes is the norm and women are sheltered by religious or tribal customs, cases of sexual harassment are still common at homes and in the times when women must venture out, whether to markets, hospitals or government offices.
In Yemen, where nearly all women are covered from head to toe, activist Amal Basha said 90 percent of women in a published study reported harassment, specifically pinching.
"The religious leaders are always blaming the women, making them live in a constant state of fear because out there, someone is following them," she said.
If a harassment case is reported in Yemen, Basha added, traditional leaders interfere to cover it up, remove the evidence or terrorize the victim.
In Saudi Arabia, another country where women cover themselves completely and are nearly totally segregated from men in public life, women report harassment as well, according to Saudi activist Majid al-Eissa.
His organization, the National Family Safety Program, has been helping draft a law criminalizing violence against women in the conservative kingdom, where flirting can often cross the line into outright assault. Discussion of the law begins Tuesday.
"It will take time especially in this part of the world to absorb the gender mixture and the role each gender can play in society," he said. "We are coping with changes (of modern life), except in our minds."

Asalam Alaikum, this is sad news. It's bad in Afghanistan as well. I saw it firsthand when I went to Afghanistan this past summer. May Allah guide these brothers.

walaikum salaam,
Afghanistan is such a beautiful country. It is such a shame what they have gone through the last 20 years up until now. Not to get into a banned topic (taliban) but what I can see this as, is a symptom of the emphasis on the outer form throughout the Islamic world instead of emphasizing the inner character. Even when these women are wearing full niqab or burka they are harassed and treated like objects. The beautiful teachings of Islamic haya and modesty don't seem to matter

From the Holy Quran, they'll use what benefits them and ignore the rest. I find it sad as many in Afghanistan can't read or write so it's practically impossible for them to learn about Islam themselves. Their only resource they have is what others are doing and preaching.

My two pence worth, we've stopped teaching our boys the importance of lowering the gaze and instead it's all about what women should or should not be wearing, men do not have their part drummed into them, so anything they do is automatically blamed on women instead.
How can there possibly be any justification for a mans role in harassing (and this goes beyond harassment) a woman, by laying the entire blame at the victims door.
It's like if someone commits murder, well you know the dead guy made me do it!!!
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

It is like that Kuwaiti wedding burning thread.
"The only reason I burned those women and children to death was my ex's sisters were mean to me"
Their are two reasons why those men do what they do and if either of the two reasons are removed they will stop doing it:
They find it enjoyable.
They know they will get away with it.
They need to be punished for what they do. Both by the law and on the scene of the crime. If doing that meant the police will investigate and prosecute like they investigate and prosecute people who give food to Palestinians it would reduce this crime. If Women who are victims of this crime respond with screams, slaps and scratches and witnesses respond with lynchings it would eliminate this crime. That is because the crime will no longer be enjoyable and they know they will not get away with it.

I recently heard a person say, "I will never forgive him for what he did!" All too often, people who are hurt or offended do not believe the offending person deserves forgiveness. Many people believe such a declaration to be profound, valiant or courageous. Refusing to forgive another is often used to underscore the disdain …

Zweilous is a niche Pokemon that should only be used on a need basis, but it possesses a few qualities that make can make it worthwhile. It has great bulk with Eviolite and can support defensive teams by walling a large portion of the special attackers in NU. It can also provide phazing to rack up damage from entry hazards with Dragon Tail and Roar. Offensively, it can deal massive damage with Outrage and Crunch, while taking advantage of its typing and the appropriate moves to get past the top physical walls in the tier, Alomomola and Misdreavus, opening the path for partners to break through. Its lack of reliable recovery means that it gets worn down quickly by entry hazards, putting a hamper on its ability to wall Pokemon or just stay alive during a match; as a result, Zweilous requires support to make the best out of it. While Zweilous's typing has great resistances, it also comes with some terrible weaknesses that common Pokemon such as Scolipede, Jynx, and Primeape can easily take advantage of.
Zweilous's Dark / Dragon typing grants it many resistances to common special attacks, and with 72 / 70 / 70 defenses alongside Eviolite, it can take on a huge slew of special attackers in the tier. The list of Pokemon that Zweilous beats is huge; these Pokemon provide it opportunities to phaze teams around with Roar and Dragon Tail to rack up damage from Stealth Rock and Spikes. Pokemon such as Eelektross, Rotom-S, Zebstrika, Serperior, Exeggutor, Ludicolo, Alomomola, Musharna, Charizard, Misdreavus, and Haunter make up a large portion of the metagame and are easily walled and taken advantage of by Zweilous.
Zweilous's main draw, other than walling special attackers, is its ability to phaze other Pokemon with both Roar and Dragon Tail. Roar ignores the effects of Hustle and allows for more reliable phazing, while Dragon Tail ignores the effects of Taunt and deals damage but only has a shaky 72% accuracy when putting Hustle into account. Having both Roar and Dragon Tail at once might seem weird, but it maximizes the chances of Sleep Talk picking a phazing move, which is extremely useful to keep a phazing chain going. Crunch is a good option over Dragon Tail for 2HKOing Musharna, Duosion, and Misdreavus, but its use ends there. Crunch gets in the way of Sleep Talk's phazing and only deals decent damage to neutral targets. However, if your team is weak to those targets, Crunch can be a blessing as the combination of good special bulk, phazing, and ability to beat Musharna, Duosion, and Misdreavus is not found on many other Pokemon in the tier.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Hustle gives Zweilous a lot of power, and a STAB Outrage in a metagame where Steel-type Pokemon are uncommon is frightening. With the metagame being more inclined towards offense, Outrage is generally a OHKO on most offensive Pokemon with only a few of them avoiding a OHKO after Stealth Rock. Due to its decent bulk with Eviolite and good typing, Zweilous is capable of setting up a Substitute on a good number of Pokemon, including Alomomola, Misdreavus, Tangela without HP Ice, Roselia, Eelektross, Exeggutor, and Serperior. Most importantly, it allows Zweilous to turn the most popular physical walls in the tier, Alomomola and Misdreavus, into complete setup bait. Toxic, alongside Substitute, allows Zweilous to beat Alomomola and Tangela, crippling them so that Zweilous's partners can break through them. Crunch is a reliable STAB attack that, unlike Outrage, doesn't lock Zweilous into one move. Superpower can be used to hit Probopass, Klang, and Bastiodon, but it doesn't work well with Substitute due to the Defense and Attack drops, forcing you to wear down Alomomola with only Toxic or risk an Outrage confusion.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Zweilous can use a Choice Scarf to outspeed up to base 110 Pokemon such as Tauros, but its reliance on Hustle means that it has to take a gamble every time, making it a poor revenge killer. It can also use a Choice Band to break apart almost every wall with Outrage, but generally speaking, as soon as it grabs a KO, it will leave Zweilous open to being KOed itself due to its lack of bulk without Eviolite. Zweilous has more gimmicky options that it can use such as Taunt and Torment, but it doesn't have room for them in its sets, and it's far too slow to use Taunt. It also has access to Rain Dance and Sunny Day, but there are better Pokemon capable of setting up weather that also bring other kinds of utility to those kinds of teams. Zweilous would also need to make a choice between using Eviolite to have an easier time setting up weather, or a Damp Rock or Heat Rock to extend the amount of time the weather is up.
Checks and Counters
While it can be a little difficult to get a free switch into a defensive Zweilous due to its constant phazing, the only real threatening thing about it is just that. With Zweilous's specially defensive set being unable to hit hard, Pokemon such as Scolipede, Primeape, Sawk, Samurott, Jynx, and Piloswine are capable of doing major damage to Zweilous without much of a risk. On the other hand, offensive sets are countered depending on their move choices; sets without Superpower are beaten by Steel-type Pokemon such as Probopass, Klang, and Bastiodon, and sets without Crunch are forced out after Superpower's stat drops or Outrage's confusion. Alomomola, Tangela, and Regirock can take Outrages and Crunches, but have to watch out for Toxic crippling them. Gurdurr benefits from Toxic due to Guts and can take an Outrage while retaliating back with a Drain Punch. As both sets lack reliable recovery, they are easily worn down by entry hazards, which makes any kind of neutral attack deal significant damage to Zweilous.

Premier League
August 18, 2012
- FTFT1Arsenal
- FTFT2Fulham
- FTFT4Reading
- FTFT5West Brom
- FTFT6West Ham
Aston Villa1
- FTFT7Newcastle
Tottenham, though, will feel hard done-by. Their lack of a top striker was clear and Modric was missed, but there were encouraging signs there for Villas-Boas.
FULL-TIME: Newcastle 2-1 Toottenham - Alan Pardew takes the spoils on the opening day, as goals from Demba Ba and Hatem Ben Arfa help the Magpies to a win.
Van der Vaart crosses well and there are two players over at the back post, but Krul bravely punches clear.
Kyle Walker wins a dangerous free-kick on the right-flank. A chance to send in a cross.
Three minutes added-time...
Anita, Tiote and Jonas keeping the ball well in midfield. Tottenham need to wrestle the ball back.
Bale now strikes a long crossfield ball into the crowd on the far side.
Defoe now shoots wildly into the crowd. Doesn't look like it will be Spurs' day at this point.
Harry Kane replaces Sandro
Obertan replaces Demba Ba
Lovely cross from Demba Ba finds Cisse who chests down. Gallas clears as far as Jonas whose powerful effort is saved by Friedel.
The free-kick into the box comes to nothing as Newcastle clear well.
Simpson slides in on Lennon and concedes another free-kick. He is on a tightrope now.
Kyle Walker looks to create an immediate opportunity for Tottenham, but outruns himself, crossing into the crowd behind the goal.
GOAL Newcastle 2-1 Tottenham Ben Arfa from the spot!!! - Tucked calmly into the bottom right-hand corner.
PENALTY - Hatem Ben Arfa has Van der Vaart and Lennon beaten all ends up and squeezes between them. Definite penalty.
A break in play as Sandro receives treatment. He was caught as Tiote shot at goal.
Tiote showing a rare glimpse of his attacking talents. A lovely drag-back to fool Livermore before firing just wide.
GOAL Newcastle 1-1 Tottenham Defoe pokes home!!! A back-post cross is deflected off Santon, Krul keeps the ball out but Defoe is on hand to prod home.
Jonas once more does a fine job for his side in defence, sweeping up around the back post after a corner from the right.
Anita looks to demonstrate his passing ability with a long, raking ball for Papiss Cisse. Slightly overhit.
Anita replaces Cabaye
Fine save! Defoe is slid through by Walker and his low shot is powerfully struck, but Krul gets down well to block.
Lennon is busy, but twice he cannot find an end product. First, Simpson robs the ball off him in the corner, before the winger crosses behind for a goal-kick.
Van der Vaart immediately looks to take control and finds Assou-Ekotto beautifully. The full-back's cross cannot find its destination.
Sigurdsson off for Van der Vaart
Sandro looks to slide in Sigurdsson in the right-hand channel, Perch shepherds the ball out.
Van der Vaart being readied. Who will make way? Logic says Sigurdsson, but will Villas-Boas risk both.
Newcastle happy just to keep the ball. They have the lead and are content with that.
Tiote has been much better since half-time. He has started to make his presence felt in that midfield area.
Tottenham have done well for the last few minutes, but they need to start creating opportunities. AVB looks pensive.
Assou-Ekotto, though, can get a shot away from 35 yards. Saved comfortably by Friedel.
Instantly Spurs press forward and the ball looks to run for them on a couple of occasions, but they just cannot get shots away.
How can Spurs respond? Van der Vaart is warming up, but is he the answer?
Alan Pardew is sent from the touchline after pushing the assistant referee. He will spend the rest of the game in the stand.
Sigurdsson looks to curl a shot into the far corner. Not far wide, but he doesn't look impressed.
Cabaye is warned after another foul. Kaboul blasts the free-kick into the wall.
That was sumptuous from the Senegalese striker. He was linked away in the summer, but he has shown loyalty to Newcastle and started the season with a fine goal.
GOAL Newcastle 1-0 Tottenham Ba scores a screamer!!! That is beautiful, Walker doesn't deal well with a cross and Ba brings down the ball and bends the ball into the corner.
Newcastle playing the ball around well now. Tiote and Cabaye dropping deep.
Gareth Bale has Newcastle's defence in all sorts of danger and beats two players for fun, but can't dig out a right-footed cross in time. Goal kick.
Ben Arfa goes on a surging run and almost goes round Assou-Ekotto with ease. The full-back just about stands up to the test.
Sloppy from Bale. Sigurdsson and Lennon were waiting for a ball on the left flank, but the Welshman's scooped pass is mishit.
Almost danger at the other end though. Aaron Lennon bursts past a couple of tentative tackles and squares across goal for Defoe, but Perch just gets in to clear.
Positive start for Newcastle, getting the ball in and around the area. No real chance, but there is an urgency there.
SECOND HALF at Sports Direct Arena...
Kevin Keegan on ESPN TV suggests we may see Vurnon Anita early in the second half. They could do with an extra presence in midfield.
Andre Villas-Boas will be very content so far. Tottenham have hit the woodwork twice and they are keeping the ball well. Newcastle need to change things up.
Not the best 45 minutes we will see this season, but pleasantly enjoyable. Some interesting battles on the pitch as both teams look to open the season with a win.
HALF TIME Newcastle 0-0 Tottenham
Cabaye booked for denying Bale the chance to counter
That's better. Simpson crosses from the right and Demba Ba rises, but is beaten in the air by Gallas. Corner.
Two minutes added-time in the first-half...
A lot of work to do at the break for Alan Pardew, I would venture. They need a way of integrating their strikers.
The movement of Tottenham's attacking unit, though, has been a threat. Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale and Defoe swapping and changing.
Tottenham's high-pressure forcing Newcastle back, but neither side really could claim to be on top.
Ben Arfa does so much right, but that is really poor. A simple pass to release Jonas is played into touch.
Remember Defoe's goal against Italy? Well, he has tried it again as a Tottenham counter came to an end. This time the ball flies well over the bar.
A let-off for Newcastle as this game looks to fully kick into gear.
Off the bar! Lennon turns Santon inside out and Bale heads back across goal onto the crossbar.
Jermain Defoe runs into a blind alley down the right and James Purch comes across to rob the ball.
Tottenham look to do exactly that and they are playing the ball around at the back.
Scrappy in midfield now. Both sides need to settle back down and regain their composure.
Defoe denied by the post. Running towards goal, he squares up Steven Taylor and pulls a shot against the post.
Not coming there, though. Cheik Tiote smashes a shot from 30 yards well over the bar.
The game has slowed down a bit now, but you get the feeling that the first goal may be coming.
Sigurdsson has acres of space 30 yards out and lines up a strike, but his shot is poor. Scuffed wide of the near post.
Simpson hobbling a bit, but he will be ok. Going to be a tough game for him up against Bale.
From the resulting free-kick, Krul gets down low to save from Sigurdsson.
Simpson brings down Bale and he is a lucky man. He would have been booked there had he not already been on a card.
Ben Arfa now penalised for a pull-back on Sigurdsson. Tottenham's frustration increases.
Cabaye brings down Lennon and AVB wants a yellow card. He has a point, considering the bookings picked up by his side.
So close! Demba Ba's shot is poked in the opposite direction by Papiss Cisse and the ball creeps inches wide of the post.
Newcastle starting to get Cabaye and Ben Arfa into the game and look better for it.
Sandro for another trip on Hatem Ben-Arfa.
The ball drops for Gareth Bale on the volley 25 yards out, blocked by Steven Taylor.
Livermore for a trip on the advancing Ben Arfa
Tottenham very comfortable thus far. A very impressive start for the North Londoners.
We might be seeing Vurnon Anita, with Tiote struggling. He instructs the bench to wait though. A warrior...
Simpson booked for flattening Bale.
Assou-Ekotto is very casual in diffence. Cisse is penalised for shoving him over, but the Cameroonian needs to be more alert.
Jonas once more does a good job on Kyle Walker. The full-back looks to whip in a cross, but the Argentine is there to block and win a goal-kick.
Spurs also pressing very high, they are making it difficult for Newcastle to play out. Cisse and Ba not seeing the ball thus far.
Tottenham looking to play out of defence. Livermore dropping deep and the centre-backs splitting.
Jonas is working very hard for Newcastle already. He has the important role of harnessing Kyle Walker this afternoon.
Brilliant pass from Sandro and Sigurdsson is in, but Krul smothers well. Offside given, but he was well onside.
Cabaye swings in a free-kick from the left, headed well clear by Gallas.
Cautious start from both teams then, easing their way into the season.
Worrying moment for Newcastle. Tim Krul takes a heavy touch and is almost robbed by Jermain Defoe. That's a big escape for the Dutchman.
It was a fine tackle and clean, however, Tiote looks to have done himself some damage. He receives treatment on the sidelines.
Tiote with his first crunching tackle of the season, blocking Kyle Walker's attempted clearance.
A second corner comes in from the right but Lennon cannot control and the ball flies behind for a goal-kick.
Kyle Walker runs at Davide Santon on the right flank, but the Italian stands up well.
KICK OFF in Newcastle...
Reminder, for those of you in the United Kingdom, this game is live on ESPN TV.
Here come the teams onto the hallowed turf, led out by captains William Gallas and Jonas.
Shola Ameobi has had to pull-out during the warm-up and Sylvain Marveaux has been called onto the bench. However, they couldn't find him so Romain Amalfitano is included.
No Vertonghen for Tottenham today, he will start from the bench. Vurnon Anita should make a sub appearance for Newcastle too.
Newcastle and Tottenham kick off the 2012-13 Premier League season with much to prove. Can Newcastle repeat last season's heroics? How good can AVB's Tottenham be?
Spurs team to face Newcastle: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Livermore, Sandro, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale, Defoe.
Newcastle team v Spurs: Krul, Simpson, Perch, Taylor, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas, Ben Arfa, Cisse, Ba
ESPN pundit and former Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan tips his old side to edge Tottenham in his first column of 2012-13.
Andre Villas-Boas has replaced Harry Redknapp in the White Hart Lane hotseat.
Both clubs were agonisingly close to qualifying for the Champions League last season but while Newcastle have kept their squad intact, it's been all change at Spurs with a new manager and new faces.
It's back. Join us at 1730 BST for our first live Premier League game of the season as Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur.

Amanda's Kids' Lunch
Amanda's Kids' Lunch Gets Freekeh
Today's lunch is straight from the FOOD52 Shop: a freekeh salad with celery, lemon zest, parsley, and young garlic. It's topped with German ham, with Vermont Butter and Cheese Company Camembert and Greek yogurt on the side. A smorgasboard of cultures all in two lunchboxes!
Freekeh is great for kids because it's a starch that not only keeps you fuller, longer, it has nutritional benefits that get lost in other forms of wheat. Let's put it this way: if Oliver Twist's porridge had been made of freekeh, he wouldn't have needed to ask for more. (Walker and Addie like it, too.)
