Cellar/Tasting Notes "A brooding but notably ripe nose of dark cherry and pungent earth aromas slides gracefully into strikingly rich and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that possess praiseworthy concentration. There is plenty of underlying tension and energy to the mouth coating and very serious finish that..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Smoke, incense and tobacco are some of the many nuances that emerge from the 2009 Barolo Vigneto Cannubi. One of the very best 2009s from this historic site, Burlotto's Cannubi impresses for its depth, richness and sheer power. The sensuality typical of Cannubi is given extra dimensions of pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is lush, sweet and inviting. Today the 2007 doesn't quite have the sheer visceral thrill and excitement of the 2006, but it more than makes up for that with its early approachability. Dark red berries, spices and crushed flowers are layered into the finish. There..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a beautiful wine. Powerful, taut and austere, the 2006 shows all of the qualities that make traditional Brunello compelling. Black cherries, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs wrap around the intense finish ..." (Antonio Galloni)
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This iconic Chilean Cabernet is firm on the nose, with cola, cassis, cherry and leather aromas. It's racy, juicy and powerful, with flavors of cassis, blackberry, plum, nutmeg and coffee that swim in harmony. This is big, but also elegant and clean."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Lodovico is a blend of mostly Cabernet Franc with Merlot and some Petit Verdot. Layers of espresso, mocha, blackberry jam and spices take shape in the glass. The 2008 shows remarkable depth and polish all the way through to the finish. The Lodovico is another big, persistent wine endowed..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft wood frames exuberantly fresh and expressive aromas of green fruit, green apple and pungent stone notes.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste. The finish shows potential.

There is a very suave and seductive texture to the medium weight plus flavors that possess an abundance of mouth coating extract, all wrapped in a long,..

145 Laurel St, Santa Cruz, CA | Directions 9506036.969269 -122.024207
M-Th 10am-midnight, F-Sa 10am-3am, Su 10am-midnight
A pretty neat restaurant with great vegan options! – The food was GREAT! Contrary to what others have to say about the aesthetic quality of the building/interior, I personally think that the kitschyness and vintage appeal work really well! It makes the restaurant stand out and enjoyable. There is always something to look at and the staff were so nice and easy to make conversation with.
As for the food, it was great! Unlike most of the Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants I've been to, Saturn wasn't stingy with the portions that they serve. The meals were great in size and satisfied my vegan taste buds. The cupcakes and deserts were amazing and the brunch menu was to die for! If you're in the Santa Cruz area, you DEFINITELY need to check this place out!
Nice vegetarian diner style restaraunt – The service here used to be terrible, but it has greatly improved. Lots of different burger patty choices. Food is delicious. Open late.
Not good if you're super hungry – My husband and I went to Saturn Cafe, drawn by the sign that said "burgers, shakes and fries," not knowing that it was a vegetarian restaurant. We were really hungry after a lot of walking in the area. Even after looking at the menu, we couldn't tell that the burgers were meatless. I ordered a burger with no cheese. It was tasteless and thin. I've had Gardenburgers, and I think those taste better. My husband was very dissatisfied with his mushroom non-burger and was still hungry when we left. The mint-chip milkshake was good, though. Maybe the breakfast food is better, but I wouldn't even recommend this place to my vegetarian friends.
Looking for the Lamest Restruant in California? – Aside from the terrible dated 90's music played through the worst sound system on Earth giving me a headache, the disgusting "art" inside the glass tabletops, the unhealthy looking employees, the ugly colors that do not match each other, sloppy organization, disgusting cream of broccoli soup and their pathetic excuse for being a vegan restaurant that actually has nothing healthy and their trademark burger being lackluster this place isn't all that bad. I mean, it's not as bad as one of the waitresses in Zachary's down the street. Now, that is a woman I would give a tip of -15%!!
fun atmosphere – I really like the design of Saturn (each table has a different theme), but I have yet to find something that I like there. The service is horrible. The employees are very nice, but seem to be moving on their own time and not the customers. I like that they have so much of a vegetarian selection, but the food tastes too bland for my taste buds.
Cool place, but bad food – How could a health food place be bad? The service is borderline nasty and their meals never seem hot. I love the decor here though. I'm starting to lose faith in the Santa Cruz Dining Scene. Is there ANY good food in this town? Everywhere you turn, everything's organic! Surely there must be some good food, other than in Los Gatos!
Late-night vegetarian cafe and its staff of tattooed hipsters dole out meatless burgers and massive salads in bizarre space-themed surroundings. – In Short
This funky vegetarian restaurant serves up sandwiches, pasta, burgers and more, with several options for vegans. A brunch menu including pancakes and eggs is served on weekends. Booths, tables and a jukebox fill up the eclectic, space-themed diner. Favorite menu items include cheese fries, nachos, soups, salads, shakes, specialty coffee and deserts. Open until the wee hours, this spot attracts the late-night set on weekends.
Alternative – Call me old fashion but when I'm in a restaurant I don't want to be served by over-tattooed, over-pierced, alternative/goth not motivated waiters. They all seem to be mad at the whole world.
Be prepared for some 'anti-capitalistic' comments on the menu, anti-war slogans and an explanation why they prefer not to serve major (soda) brands....
The food is okay but certainly not worth the >9/10 rating found on this site. They have a lot of choice but I think there are better places in SC where you can find veggie food for a little more buck.
Last note. This is more personal I think. I'm not into the whole metal/alternative/tattoo thing. So I never felt really comfortable with the whole atmosphere in Saturn cafe.
Mediocre, at best – I don't know what the fuss is all about. I've never been a fan of Saturn Cafe. I think it's great that they have all the vegetarian/vegan options, since I'm not a big meat eater, but I've found most of the food mediocre. The service has been consistently horrid - slow, unfriendly, everyone who works there looks irritated. I've had much better veggie food other places in SC, with much better service.
My favorite place to go when visiting SC – Whenever I drive on down to Santa Cruz from the Bay Area, I always have to stop at the Saturn Cafe and get my Fakin' Bacon Cheeseburger fix. They are amazing! You can pick from several burger substitutes for this. Also try the Hibiscus Cooler -- this drink is delicious. Tart, fruity and very satisfying.
The decor is great, too. Metallic cutout spaceships, stars and planets hang from the ceiling, sparkly red vinyl booth seats, and a photo sticker machine in the back so you can document your visit along with everyone else since the place opened by putting one of your stickers on the machine. The building itself is circular, probably a former 50's modern diner, now painted Something Green, and is a landmark as you drive down Laurel St. Go! Eat! Drink! Get a photo sticker!

Dark and handsome Storm is thumbing through a magazine when Luc Francois knockss at the door. When Storm lets the sexy Frenchman in, he is overwelmed by the desire to make it with Luc. Storm is soon surveying Luc's taut body with his hands, exploring the rippled stomach and the chiseled pecs. He eyes Luc's hard round ass and rips away the tight jeans that are between him and that firm flesh. Storm begins to probe the muscular mounds with his tongue and moves toward the hot pucker, penetrating deeply with his wet tongue, causing Luc to squirm in ecstacy and anticipation. Luc's desire grows and he pulls Storm's dick out of his shorts and beings to work on the long thick shaft. His tongue licks the ridge of the big cock head and moves down the pulsating shaft. With his cock throbbing from luc's deepthroating, Storm works up his animal desires and throws the stud on his back and pummels him hard and deep causing him to groan from unbridled ecstasy. Luc is in such a state of frenzy he moves on top of Storm and sits on the stiff prick repeatedly slamming his ass onto Storm's crotch. the two studs are soon moaning from the flow of cum moving from their balls to their piss slits and finally bursting forth in all directions.

The arrival of Arsenal this afternoon is, judging by league position, one of the biggest tests for Chelsea since Rafael Benitez began his work at the club - and he is relishing the challenge.
The Blues played league champions Manchester City on our turf in the first match under the Spaniard, and we took on Everton away over Christmas when they, as now, were in fifth place, but any match against Arsenal who currently lie sixth in the table is always a major occasion that requires the players to be on their game.
'It is good, after a draw at home, to have this opportunity now of this top side coming,' says Benitez.
'It is good for us because we have extra motivation and everybody will be really focused. The atmosphere is a little different when you play a big game. If you are in a top side you are really pleased for this type of games, especially if you play for something. We are talking now about a top-four position and see what happens.
'This extra motivation is always good for the managers because the challenge is how can you keep your players motivated every single game and this type of game is easier. You can take one step forward against a top side and the team can prove they are good enough.'
A win in this London derby after three home games without a victory would be an indicator that progress is again being made, and Benitez has reiterated that despite it being widely described as a transition season for this Chelsea side, the aspiration is to win every game and every piece of silverware on offer.
'Obviously we cannot win now the FIFA Club World Cup but we still have some trophies ahead and we will try to win every trophy,' he says.
'In terms of the league, I don't see the table every day and say we can or we cannot, but what I can see is a top side coming this weekend and if we can get three points we will maybe be closer.
'The Capital One Cup is there so we will see, we can do well in the second leg, and the FA Cup and the Europa League are open so I have to improve the team and give the team confidence that we can win against anyone. In football you can lose and you can draw but if you have the belief that you can win against everyone, that is when you start winning games easier.'
Benitez maintains Chelsea were not far from victory in each game that ultimately ended in a draw or a defeat under his management.
'The team is very close to the time when you have confidence you can win games in a row,' he adds.
'We have won some games in a row and we have won some games away but we have to be more consistent. We have had one game every three days, plus Japan, the Africa Cup of Nations and the injuries to John Terry and Frank Lampard, so too many things that don't allow you to have your team and then improve every single thing, but I think we are close.'

The Top 100 Cigar Smokers of the Twentieth Century
From the Print Edition:
Vince McMahon, Nov/Dec 99
(continued from page 4)
37 EDWARD G. ROBINSON Short and squat with a bulldog face, Robinson didn't have leading-man looks. But in the 1930 film Little Caesar, Robinson not only launched his 50-year film career, but also set the stereotype of the American gangster forever in the minds of the moviegoing public. As Enrico "Rico" Bandello, Robinson portrayed a cigarette-smoking small-time hood who rises through the underworld ranks, becoming a Habanos-chomping, well-tailored mob boss before meeting his tragic end.
38 DIZZY GILLESPIE The trumpeter renowned for his groundbreaking be-bop music couldn't afford good cigars during his early career, but decades later he avidly indulged in Cuban Hoyo de Monterreys and Romeo y Julietas. Gillespie long had an appreciation for things Cuban: Cuban trumpeter Mario Bauza befriended the young Diz during the 1930s, dramatically influencing his musical style. A decade later, Gillespie returned the favor, hiring the Cuban master congero Chano Pozo for his big band, helping to create Latin jazz.
39 DANNY DeVITO After being turned on to cigars by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor-director-producer moved over the years from Cuban Cohibas to Partagas Serie D No. 4s, Diplomaticos and Bolivars. His favorite cigar coup occurred on a flight from Europe after filming The War of the Roses in the late 1980s, when he asked every passenger if they would mind if he smoked his cigar. He got their permission. "It was," he recalled, "the most enjoyable transatlantic flight I ever had."
40 PETER FALK For TV buffs, the image is indelible: the rumpled police detective with the unruly hair and the wrinkled trenchcoat heads for the door, his back to the suspect. Then he pauses, taking a puff from his cheap cigar as he cocks his head to one side and says, "Just one more thing..." The murderer is as good as jailed. Like his "Columbo" character, Falk doesn't make any claims to being a cigar connoisseur. "I'll smoke anything anybody gives me," he once said. "I'm not particular."
41 THOMAS EDISON Best known for bringing electric light and recorded sound into the world, Edison was also a prodigious cigar smoker. He liked to celebrate an invention with a stogie (preferably one he had won from a luckless lab assistant who had bet him he couldn't perform whatever feat of technological sorcery he was attempting). "The Wizard of Menlo Park" also had a sense of humor: to tweak associates who pilfered his cigars, he once planted phony smokes rolled from sawdust in his desk drawer.
42 SYLVESTER STALLONE Somewhere between Rocky and Rambo lies Stallone the connoisseur. While most of his more famous on-screen personae do not suggest a reflective side, that is exactly what the private Stallone pursues in his love affair with premium cigars (paired with Armagnac or vintage wine). He's most nettled by acquaintances who cadge rare cigars only to let them go out after four or five puffs. We know the tough-guy thing is just for the movies, but do you really want him mad at you?
43 H. L. MENCKEN American letters almost lost one of its most renowned champions of cigar smoking to, ironically enough, a cigarmaker. Mencken, journalist, humorist and shaper of modern fiction, toiled in his father's factory until August Mencken's demise allowed his son to pursue his true talent. He once took on a group of women who were seeking to prohibit smoking on streetcars, saying: "A woman who can stand half an hour of the Lexington fish market is well able to face a few blasts of tobacco smoke."
44 DAN RATHER In a world of blown-dry newsmen anchored to their studio desks, Rather enjoys being out in the field, smoking a cigar. But he admitted that one of his smokes nearly killed an indoor plant that his wife had labored to keep alive. Almost caught by his wife sneaking a smoke indoors, he had stuck the half-smoked cigar in the plant's pot. It wasn't until he extracted the forgotten stub weeks later that the plant regained its health. Among Rather's most cherished smokes: cigars from Fidel Castro.
45 CLARENCE THOMAS For those who fret over the hegemony of the Political Correctness Police (and who doesn't?), it is good to know that at least one confirmed cigar smoker sits on the Supreme Court. Thomas served as an assistant district attorney in Missouri, went into private practice for Monsanto, and later chaired the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. George Bush nominated him in 1991 to replace Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court. He is occasionally seen at Cigar Aficionado's Washington Big Smokes.
46 JOHN HUSTON Huston once described movie directing as "a left-handed form of human endeavor," and lived as though he tolerated his calling only as a way to finance his taste for the finer masculine endeavors, which famously included cigars, liquor, women and gambling. That outlook didn't stop him, however, from putting out some of the finest films ever made--The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The African Queen--and almost single-handedly creating the film noir genre.

"I used this design for invitations to my son's Baptism (just edited the text). It turned out beautifully. The interlace design is gorgeous. For the price, I was very impressed with the quality of the paper and printing. The one detractor (and it may only be that I need glasses) is that I didn't realize the blue background isn't a solid color. It has minor variations, almost like water spots, that I didn't notice on my computer screen. I'm still very happy with the product, and the background variations give the overall look of the card a softer appearance."
"This invitation is very simple but fits the job perfectly! It is not flashy or showy - simple and to the point!! The quality of the paper and the color are also perfect. We were very pleased that the order came in quicker than expected."
"This invitation is beautiful! It is printed on a nice card stock and the white really pops against the pale blue! I love these invites! Also, the envelopes are equally as nice! They are a nice thick envelope. Great item for a great price!"
"This invitation met all my expectations including a perfect color pink invitation, great paper texture and excellent image along with perfect printing quality. Also note, a great price for what you are getting."
"The card is a pretty shade of pink and the paper quality is a nice weight. The size is perfect for a party invitation in my opinion. I also chose the pre-printed return address option and it was a great time saver. I'm happy I chose Tiny Prints."

text: Snowboy returns with another batch of grooves in the Hi Hat series – the first volume we've heard under that name in awhile – and while the sound is still great, the format here is a bit different than before! The style this time around is heavily jazzy – and pulled from records that are even more obscure than those used on previous volumes – mostly relatively recent recordings from the past decade or so, but those which were ignored the first time around – making the music here seem even more fresh! Most of the numbers are titles that were buried in more conventional records, but which stand out as modern jazz dance tracks – keeping the spirit of modal, hardbop, and Latin-styled jazz grooves alive and well on the dancefloor – as testified by the album's photos from Snowboy's Hi Hat club night! Titles include "Sunny Day (live)" by Jon Lucien, "Speed Trap" by Peter King, "If I Perish" by Terrell Stafford, "Our Man In Havana" by Cubana Bop, "Seven Steps To Heaven" by World Saxophone Quartet, "Caribbean Fire Dance" by Bobby Sanabria & Ascension, "Blue Bossa" by McCoy Tyner Latin Big Band, and "Fical Mal Com Deus" by Airto. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Body's clock linked to depression
Gene activity in the brain suggests off-kilter circadian rhythms
The disruption of sleep and other bodily rhythms that often accompanies clinical depression may leave a mark on the brain. A study of gene activity in the brains of people who suffered from depression reveals that their daily clocks were probably out of whack. The results appear May 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This is really important work, amazing work," says Noga Kronfeld-Schor, a physiologist who specializes in circadian rhythms at Tel Aviv University. "There's been indirect evidence, but this clearly shows a connection between disrupted circadian cycles and depression."
In mammals, daily rhythms such as sleep, hormone cycles and eating patterns are guided by a master clock in the brain whose rhythms are maintained in part by genes and patterns of light and darkness. The master clock can get out of sync with clocks elsewhere in the brain and body. This discord, for example, produces the out-of-sorts feeling of jet lag, says Jun Li, a statistical geneticist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
People with depression also often have off-kilter body rhythms. But the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind these disrupted cycles have been hard to pin down. Li and his colleagues took an ambitious approach with an unusual set of samples: the brains, removed just after death, of 34 people with depression and 55 people who didn't suffer from depression. All of the people had died suddenly, from heart attacks or suicide, for example, and each brain was immediately put on ice, Li says.
After determining how long after sunrise each person's death was, the team looked at what genes were turned on in six brain regions, gathering a total of 12,000 records of gene activity. Among nondepressed people, patterns were pretty predictable. One gene's activity, for example, consistently peaked at sunrise, another's at midday, Li says. But in the depressed brains, gene activity seemed uncoupled from time of day. Their patterns of activity also weren't as predictable.
The research doesn't demonstrate whether depression causes the circadian disruption or vice versa, but it confirms a link and might lead to investigations of the physiological processes that are affected, says Ying-Hui Fu a molecular biologist and geneticist at the University of California, San Francisco.
Each brain analyzed in the study shows gene activity at only one point, the time of death. Circadian rhythm researchers typically take measurements from a person over the course of 24 hours. That strategy works for sampling blood cells, for example, but not brains. The brain data, which were collected with the help of collaborators at several universities including the brain bank at the University of California, Irvine, isn't perfect but is impressive, Fu says.
"The data set is very solid," Fu says. "And to collect 30 to 50 brains? Just getting blood or cheek cells is hard enough."

Overall Rating: 4 StarsAverage Based on 3 Reviews Write a Review
I bought this pad last year thinking i would be using it all of the time and loving it... turns out, i really don't even like it all that well. It's really stiff and thinner than i had expected. It slides back no matter what horse i have it on or even when i have my saddle tight too. If you do have a horse with high withers, i don't recommend this for you because it's not what it's all set out to be... it is somewhat decent for a horse with bigger shoulders and thicker/lower withers.
I bought this pad in tye die. I have to admit it is quite eye catching. I was a little surprised at the stiffness of the pad though. It just doesn't conform to my horse like it says it does. Although it seems quite tough, my horse seems to be pleased. Another thing: My horse has tall withers and wide shoulders, and that's why I thought this pad would be PERFECT for her. It just isn't tall enough in the withers. If you have a horse that rides a full quarter horse bar saddle, this would probably be a good pad for you. I have ridden in it probably 5 times and I'm still waiting for it to break in. I don't doubt that perhaps this will be a really good pad.... in a couple months. For the price of this pad, I am somewhat dissapointed.
I have had this pad for over 10 years and it still looks and works GREAT! it hasn't fallen apart like other this is the ultimate pad!It will be worth your money!!!!

Mama Kiota of Niger: Feminism in a rural African Muslim form
Political scientist Pearl T. Robinson describes the work of Mama Kiota as a vital part of the global feminist movement. A female Sufi educational and spiritual leader, Mama Kiota has been working under the radar in her local community in Niger for 40 years, educating and empowering rural African Muslim women.
What Mama Kiota has done with Jamiyat Nassirat Din, said Robinson, is to craft a series of institutional responses to the rejection of secular legal reform in Niger by Islamic associations.
International Institute, May 30, 2013 — At the Annual James S. Coleman Memorial Lecture of the UCLA African Studies Center on May 21, 2013, political scientist Pearl T. Robinson described the work of Mama Kiota (pronounced "cho' tah) of Niger as a vital part of the global feminist movement.
An associate professor of comparative, African and African-American politics at Tufts University, Robinson is making a documentary on this Muslim woman from West Africa, whose full name is Saïda Oumoulkhaïry Niasse. The documentary is narrated in Hausa, the most widely spoken West African language. "The idea," related the speaker, "is to get images of empowered African Muslim women into West African popular culture and Islamic popular culture worldwide."
Empowerment of women within Islam: Gradually widening the arena of action
Mama Kiota is a Sufi woman who is an educational and spiritual leader in the Tijaniyya Sufi order; her work encourages women's empowerment within Islam in rural Niger. Born in Sénégal, she is the daughter of Cheïkh Ibrahim Niasse (1900–1975) — arguably, said Robinson, the most important Sufi Muslim scholar of the twentieth century in West Africa. She moved to Niger in 1960 to become the fourth wife of Sufi Cheïkh Aboubacar Hassoumi of Kiota (1914–2004) in a political marriage intended to spread her father's version of Sufism (known as Niassism).
For the past four decades, recounted Robinson, this Muslim woman has been working under the radar as a leader in her rural community, educating and empowering rural African women — the concerns of which have rarely figured in international women's forums.
She began by creating numerous schools (from Franco-Arab kindergartens through lycées) and provided women local-language education, which they used to establish a very effective microcredit association. In 1994, she founded an Islamic women's association, the Jamiyat Nassirat Din (JND), which has grown to become a multiethnic, transnational body with chapters in a few cities as well as the countryside.
Robinson said the organization currently has 200,000 women members in Niger and branches in eight other Western African countries. "[Its] members range from adherents with no formal education other than basic Islamic knowledge to university graduates trained in both western and Islamic institutions," she explained.
"The JND," she said, "is a mass-based women's organization that combines religious education with an empowerment agenda sanctioned by an interpretation of Islam that promotes female literacy, a social gospel of hard work and prosperity, civic engagement and peace. Women are encouraged to take seriously their responsibilities as mothers and wives, and to play a role in their community."
The speaker pointed out that the female Sufi leader developed a public face only after her husband died in 2004. However, Cheïkh Aboubacar Hassoumi was supportive of her goal of educating women and often spoke to local mothers and his male followers to encourage them to educate their girls.
Forging ahead in the absence of secular legal rights
What Mama Kiota has done with Jamiyat Nassirat Din, said Robinson, is to craft a series of institutional responses to the rejection of secular legal reform in Niger by Islamic associations. Starting in 1976, the government of Niger began to develop a family code that would grant women more legal rights in what the speaker claimed was an effort to localize the principles of women's rights enunciated by the global feminist movement.
The code was, however, rejected by Islamic associations in Niger, which claimed it would undermine Islamic law. The parliament subsequently failed to ratify the African Union Protocol on the Rights of Women due to the same objections.
Yet these events have not stopped these women from moving ahead with their empowerment agenda, said Robinson. The JND has begun to sponsor a "Congrès" — which the speaker described as a public policy forum — every three years in rural Niger in the context of Sufi rallies.
A "Congrès" organized by it in 2003, for example, resulted in 3,000 Nigerien rural Muslim women participating in the development of the World Bank Poverty Reduction Strategy for Niger, looking at what they themselves could do to further this goal, she recounted. The wives of both the president and prime minister of Niger were in attendance.
Other "Congrès" have engaged thousands of everyday Nigerien women in discussions of topics such as peace and sustainable development, and reconciliation and solidarity in Islam. Some 5,000 women attended the latter Congrès/rally in 2011, during which the spokesperson for the president of Niger commended Mama Kiota as a leading personality in Niger who promotes peace.
Seventeen of the Niasse family in Sénégal also attended the 2011 Congrès to acknowledge her stature as one of the outstanding leaders of their clan, said the speaker. After the conference, Mama Kiota leaned toward Robinson and said, "Now I am ready to do politics."
Today, Mama Kiota's daughter, Malama Zahara Cheïkh Aboubacar Kiota, is an accomplished Islamic scholar and a member of the National Islamic Council (Haut Conseil Islamique), to which she recently submitted a document — in Arabic — that outlines an argumentation for family law within Islam. To date, there has been no official reaction to the document from the Council, which Robinson considered a positive outcome.
Situating African Muslim women within the global feminist movement
Robinson interpreted Mama Kiota's work within the framework of the global feminist movement. She argued that although western feminists had been in the vanguard of this movement, catalyzed by the 1975 U.N. Conference on Women in Mexico City (albeit amidst great political disagreement) and three subsequent U.N. conferences, many of its "stars" and leaders today are African women.
Women legislators from developing countries, said the speaker, identified the goal of eradicating women's illiteracy as their first priority at the alternative nongovernmental organization forum that occurred simultaneously with the second U.N. Conference on Women in Copenhagen in 1980.
The Nairobi conference that followed in 1985 brought women from all over Africa together for the first time in history, said Robinson. The alternative forum there (Forum 85) forced a rethinking of the U.N. idea of women's empowerment, she explained, leading the official conference to formally recognize that gender equality was not an isolated issue, but one that encompasses all areas of human activity.
In Robinson's view, the four U.N. Conferences on Women (1975, 1980, 1985 and 1995), together with the NGO forums that they gave rise to, built human capacity, developed networks and encouraged women to step into leadership roles. The last conference, held in Beijing, identified 12 critical areas for the advancement of women and metrics with which to measure progress.
Mama Kiota's educational work and the activities of the JND parallel the development of this global feminist movement, said Robinson. What these women are doing in Niger, she argued, is important. Moreover, it is something the global feminist movement can learn from. She noted, for example, that Mama Kiota's daughter has criticized African feminists who argue that secular legal reform is the only viable paradigm for African women.
Citing socio-cultural anthropologist Saba Mahmood's concept of agency as the capacity to realize one's own interests against the weight of custom, tradition, transcendental will or other obstacles, Robinson contended that both the global feminist approach to agency (via the 12 criteria identified at the 1995 Beijing conference) and the psychosocial approach to agency practiced by Mama Kiota and the women of the JND were equally valid for advancing women's empowerment.

In bed with, or just dating?
As you may know, Encinitas has three main street associations — Cardiff 101 Main Street Association (C-101), Leucadia 101 Main Street Association (L-101), and Downtown Encinitas Main Street Association, commonly known as DEMA. Most of us love all of the street festivals, parades, retail events, farmers markets, and other activities these organizations put on to build community and bring in visitors to our wonderful town.
We applaud them for that! However, I want to draw your attention to a recent occurrence.
The boards of all three associations voted, though not unanimously, to support council's vote against Prop A, the Right to Vote initiative, which more than 8,500 residents signed and on which you will vote in the June 18 special election. These three organizations had the option of taking a neutral position on Prop A, yet chose not to do so. In taking a political stance, their boards demonstrated a complete lack of sensitivity toward those association members who don't agree with taking a political position at all and toward those in the community who support the associations, but who disagree with council's position. It also unnecessarily causes a rift between business members and those in the community who frequent their businesses, but who may not share the position taken by their association boards.
Another factor entering into the mix is the brochure, No on A, passed out at the Encinitas Street Fair, and the web site, EncinitasHOPE, created and backed by building industry supporters. EncinitasHOPE deliberately misrepresents the facts and presents only one side of the issues. This organization also used the names of our main street associations and their logos on the brochure and web site, without their authorization. C-101 and L-101 have taken steps to distance themselves from the No on A brochure and EncinitasHOPE.
DEMA, on the other hand, seems to have no qualms about embracing the No on A propaganda wholeheartedly, as evidenced by their blatant display of the NO on A sign in the DEMA office window and on their web site, along with many of the same one-sided No on A arguments. I wonder how at least one DEMA member, a nonprofit that relies on public donations, feels about being associated with this hard-to-justify position!
While DEMA may not be legally culpable due to their 501(c)(6) status, it is unethical and inappropriate for them to advocate against Prop A, given the fact that they, along with the C-101 and L-101 associations, receive a portion of their funding from taxpayer money through the city. Currently, DEMA receives $20,000 a year. This raises a related issue: Is the associations' funding from the city jeopardized in some way if they go against council? Since council is not allowed by law to expend city funds to advocate against Prop A (California Code, Section 54964), are these associations their proxy for doing so? There is, at the very least, an appearance of impropriety.
You may argue, "Well, it's just politics. There are always going to be shenanigans." But give it a little more thought.
It is your town, your community, and your quality of life that are at stake. Shouldn't you care who controls what happens here and take the time to hear all of the facts, not just those being fed to you by special interests?
Please, take the time to hear both sides and consider these questions:
• Should the Main Street Associations, which should represent businesses, property owners, and citizens of Encinitas, take political positions that serve to divide rather than unite us?
• Should DEMA ally itself with the building industry and with those developers whose main interest lies in profit with no concern for preserving the quality of life in Encinitas (i.e., backers of EncinitasHOPE and No on A)?
• Do you want taxpayer dollars that go annually to the Main Street Associations to go toward supporting political causes with which you may or may not agree?
Word to the wise: The EncinitasHOPE organization recently sent out a pricey, citywide mailer. On that mailer, all of the Main Street Associations are still listed among the groups, which, by implication, agree with the No on A backers and their deceptive arguments!

Filed Under: Community Commentary
Comments (3)
Excellent commentary, C.J. I don't feel any of the newly rebranded 101 Mainstreet Associations should be getting direct City funding, subsidies, as they have been. They are acting as lobbyists for redevelopment interests, without reporting those activities on their tax forms, as non-profits, as far as I can see, after making California Public Record Act requests.
Other Cities have business organizations, such as chambers of commerce, that do not receive these special "entitlement" subsidies. We support our business community, but not as re-organized, gentrified, generic, "mainstreet associations," that are given far more money than those community non-profits that are actually doing charitable work, and which must compete for about $30,000, total, Community Grants, which grants have been matched, in years past, by a private family. Peder Norby's salary is another subsidy to the 101 Mainstreet Associations, along with several other subsidies, such as rents from the Farmers' Markets.
We do support our businesses, and patronize them, but we feel these biz associations have become "far too big for their britches," and are pushing for redevelopment which those living adjacent to the N101 corridor have not wanted and still do not want!
These groups ARE "in bed," with politicians and public officials. Passage of Prop A will allow the "little guy," you and me, to have a voice in whether we want to keep expanding at a rate that goes beyond what was envisioned by our founders and our General Plans parameters of 30 ft. and two stories, a MAX not to be exceeded, without a vote of the people!
All of the lies in the NO on A fliers are disturbing, misleading and inappropriate campaigning coming from City subsidized non-profits, when the City is only permitted to do non-partisan "educational outreach," according to Government Code. A glaring example is the recent inflammatory Coast News ad placed by Encinitas 101MA, aka DEMA. Bogus!
None of the historic structures depicted in DEMA's ad, shown with giant feet coming down on them, are threatened by Prop A. On the contrary, passage of Prop A will protect these historic structures as being a unique part of the character of our small beach town community. A minor or major use permit would allow one of the boathouses to become a museum, as already promised. The City of Encinitas, through affordable housing funds, has subsidized the Encinitas Preservation Association over $840,000! Doug Long is the current President of the Board of Directors of the EPA, with Peder Norby and Paul Ecke III also on the Board. California Community Bank, which disgraced former Mayor Dan Dalager formerly worked for, without properly disclosing that association, was the bank that gave a loan to the EPA foundation.
Contrary to Doug Long's misrepresentations, through the No on A liar-fliers, all pre-existing development would be grandfathered, with legally vested rights, according to our own Planning Department, after passage of Prop A. Repairs and remodels are to be allowed, as always. Passage of Prop A will not put residents into an HOA, unless they are already in one!
This weeks San Diego Reader had a piece in Neighborhood News describing how in SD, in 1962, an initiative was passed to limit height to 3 stories, west of I-5. There are some exceptions, such as Little Italy. No developer sued there and no one has sued in Encinitas, where the General Plan already says height limits are not to exceed two stories, 30 ft, with certain exceptions. No developer has sued attempting to claim that lower set height limits must be raised. Doug Long and Glenn Sabine are telling outright falsehoods.
The pro-development impact report was inaccurate, designed to plant doubts, fears and confusion in the minds of our newbie Council and the public. City Attorney, Glenn Sabine's "impartial analysis" also contained untruths, that go beyond speculation and conjecture, lies, both with respect to height limits, and the effects of possible Coastal Commission review, which staff has stated would not be necessary in a memo from Jeff Murphy our brand new Planning Director to the Coastal Commission.
Council chose to believe the lies rather than to think for themselves, and trust "old-timers" like Pam-Slater-Price, Bob Bonde, the Father of Encinitas, and many more community experts. We're voting YES!
We elected Council to represent us, not cater to business/redevelopment interests, at the public's great expense. What a huge disappointment our "new council" has been to those of us who campaigned for them, with all our hearts, donating time, and money. Voting YES on A is a wonderful opportunity to take back local control, to give individual voters a voice in creating a better, more equitable future, protecting our community character and quality of life.
Many of us have firsthand experience with the down side of increased urbanization whether it's an inner city in the mid west or on the east coast. Increased urbanization was the result we were trying to avoid with incorporation. Vote Yes on A if you want your voice heard and are averse to 3,4, or 5 stories.
There's also the matter of how much your time is worth to you. Tax lawyers are essential especially for those who are more affluent and the key word is not tax evasion but tax avoidance. However, the Internet offers too much easy opportunity for fraud.

They have been suspect all season and Manchester United fullbacks Patrice Evra and Rafael da Silva were again the main culprits as the Red Devils blew a two-goal lead to throw the title race wide open.
Twice United took two-goal leads against Everton at 3-1 and 4-2.
But their naive chase for a three-goal cushion and the propensity for their fullbacks to bomb forward recklessly allowed Everton to snatch a 4-4 draw.
It's a result which has reignited the title race and given the upcoming Manchester Derby the significance of deciding which of the city's teams will win the EPL title.
This is what happen if you safe the club $ from buying new player. Chicharito and Barbatov can sell away next season and scholes can retired also. Bring it on new player and new coach also.

are unpredictable and that's exactly what happens in this show". Most
people swim away from sharks but Jeff Kurr and Brandon McMillan actually swim
towards them! They're part of the Discovery Channel's popular "Shark
Week"...which returned Sunday night for it's 26th year.
Jeff and Brandon talked
to Tony and Maria about the danger of getting up close and personal with the
animals along with the rewards. Jeff says the key to staying safe is simple:
don't be reckless just because the cameras are rolling. "You have
to read each shark because they have different personalities...and have a
healthy respect for the animals". What about the danger of going out on a
boat and knowing you may not make it back home? "That's the risk we take
as filmmakers and obviously we know what we're getting into and it's just part
of the job it's like going to work every day".
talked about how he's documented other dangerous predators for years but the
scariest moment he's ever experienced in his career took place during the
filming for "Shark Week". We ran footage of Brandon in a steel cage
with a massive shark knocking it around and saw firsthand how things can go
real wrong, real fast. "This scared the life out of me. My cage, I thought
it wasn't holding up. He grabbed the buoy and snapped it and my cage started
doing a 45 degree angle. That shark's 18 feet and over 3500 pounds. When that
kind of weight hits the cage it feels like an SUV with teeth". You have to
see this footage to fully understand just how close Brandon was to becoming
lunch. When Maria asked him what happened to his body in that moment Brandon
didn't miss a beat: "I had to change my wetsuit when I got back in the

I love this dress I went into David's to try on one dress in particular from my favorites only to find out it didn't feel right. I am a huge tomboy so I haven't worn a dress since my high school prom 8.5 years ago so wearing a dress makes me very uncomfortable. I tried on 4 other dresses and I just didn't like them at all, I didn't feel it. Then my Fiance's mother went off for a few moments and brought this dress to me, I wasn't a huge fan of it on the hanger, although it was pretty. When I put it on I was in tears, I never thought I could look so beautiful and it really brought my girly side out. I ordered it and I can't wait to dance all night in that dress! February 5, 2014
Loved it I tried on so many different dresses and styles, but when I tried this on I knew it was it. I felt amazing and beautiful in it! I can't wait to wear this down the isle! January 23, 2014
Nothing I Expected Went into David's Bridal yesterday, with my mom and my fianc��es mom. I had about 8 dresses on my favorites and this was not one of them. We looked on the racks while my consultant finished with another bride. My fianc��es mom pointed this dress out because of the pretty beading and it was my size. My mom wasn't sure about it, but I tried it on 2nd and everyone loved it. I gave it a 7-8/10 just because it was only my 2nd. No other dresses TOPPED this dress. Even other customers raved about how it looked. Trust your consultant when she says don't be nervous, because you will know immediately if you found your dress! December 23, 2013
Perfectly Different This dress is certainly different, but yet it remains traditional. Lightweight and fun. It has the corset back and the perfect amount of coverage in the bust - feels very secure. The beading is just-enough to provide visual interest without taking over the dress. Asymmetrical lines and softly ruched bodice are very figure flattering. The skirt looks like flower petals - perfect for any outdoor/garden wedding! December 4, 2013

How can a qaza prayer perform?what is the meaning by this "offer 2 prayers together" ?
asked May 02 '12 at 11:01 Zoya 1●1●1
@Zora what is qaza?
(May 02 '12 at 11:00) Al Ummat ♦
you can perform your kaza prayer all time except 3 kerahat times. in kerahat time,you can not perform any salat except that time's farz. after 45 minutes beginning from sunrise,45 minutes ago from noon midday ezan and sunset prayer call. while you perform kaza prayer,you must say ı designed to perform salat which is my first kaza...or my last kaza.because for kaza salat,specification is farz. besides 5 time salats,you must perform vitr's kaza,it is vacib. vacib is same with farz.only,a person who dennies farz be nonmuslim,but person who dennies vacib does not be nonmuslim,be sinful.

Qaza prayers are when you have missed a previous prayer in the given time limit so you can do it again, when you say your intention or niath at the beginning, instead of saying the normal you say that you pray Qaza of (no. of rakahs) rakahs of (name of prayer) and continue the prayer as normal. As to your second question I believe it means that if you have missed two prayers for example Fajr and Zuhr, you can read them together as Qaza since you have missed both.
