I was almost tempted to post a picture of a regular person, then one on the floor drunk— Get it? Before and AFTER Shots? Hahahaha.
Ok. Just so you know, I'm not the miracle worker. I did not wash ALL of those clothes. I separated them into piles. Cleanish, and filthy or questionable and they are all in my guest room, I am going to finish the laundry today. I've lost a bit of weight so I need to go through and sort them into give away and keep piles because there is no earthly reason for me to have so many damn clothes.
It's so weird to actually see it in the harsh light of day, how dirty the room was. I mean I have been avoiding it (and making it worse) since I've been depressed, and my husband is so busy it really falls to me, cooking, cleaning, laundry- etc. I thought that when we bought this house WOW 2600 square feet, we are going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOO organized! There is a place for everything. Which is true, there are PLACES for everything, however there is also SO much space to throw crap around, and three bathrooms to clean– THREE! It feels so wonderful and peaceful in there now, it's amazing. I also posted a picture of the gorgeous view from our bedroom window, with the trees and the greenbelt in the background.
Honestly, I went shopping yesterday for new bedding, because there is nothing worse than cleaning your room and it STILL being ugly. Flylady always says that the key to making your bed every morning is getting bedding you really love, here is a great article and blogtalk radio link to making your bed every day from flylady. My goal is going to be to at LEAST make my bed every day, now that there are no more "it will still look ugly" excuses.
I picked out deep purple sheets from Target last Christmas, and have been trying to find a comforter to match them for JUST AS LONG. Finally, we just gave up and slept with our white down comforter w/ no duvet and the purple sheets which I now loathe because they match nothing. It drove me crazy. So I left the house yesterday with full intention of getting new bedding. I visited Target and Ross and everything was either too expensive, too ugly, too scratchy or too cheap looking. Then I went to Walmart and found this soft, gorgeous set that matches everything I already have ON SALE for $59! Yes! I am so pleased with it, I even bought the wreath, and two throw pillows, all for under $100. If you go on the website you can also order, but you won't get the sale price unless you're in the store I guess.
My husband was in utter SHOCK when he got home. I had to wipe his jaw off the floor. He was all smiles the rest of the night. I have to say it was not easy and it took awhile. And it is by no means perfect, since I still have alot of stuff that I just stashed away to deal with later. But here's the thing: it feels peaceful, and I'm trying for progress not perfection. I will take pictures of the piles and get rid of them one by one, because posting it up here online makes it REAL.
Next up: I am going to post pictures of the guest room- AKA ground zero of laundry. I thought it may be dumb to do this, but I gotta tell you, there is NOTHING more motivating than knowing you've gotta post pictures of your crap because you promised. P.S. Thanks so much for the encouraging emails I've been getting. Please know that you are not alone. If you want to send me before pictures of your own impossible project, let me know and I can hold you accountable, like you are holding me!

Death toll and anger rise as the daily routine of protests and crackdowns continues.
Protests calling for regime fall followed by security crackdown, gunfire and funerals are now the norm in most Syrian cities and suburbs, with the exception of central Damascus and Aleppo, where the endgame will be played out at one point.
But the coastal city of Banyas hosted today's main event. Protesters report coming under heavy gunfire after coming out of Al-Rahman Mosque following Dawn prayers. They says that security forces, army troops and the Shabbiha (gangs whose membership derive from the larger Assad clan and who run large smuggling rings all over the coast) were working together. Soon after the first barrages which left three confirmed dead and a number of injured, some dissention with the ranks of the attackers seem to have taken place, but there is a conflict in eyewitness reports as to the exact nature of this development.
Some say that security forces and the Shabbiha shot a number of army troops for refusing to open fire on protesters, and there does indeed seem to be an agreement on the occurrence of 5 such incidents. But others say that the Shabbiha gangs and the security officers turned against each other, and they explain that by saying that some of the security officers are related rival Alawite clans.
If these latter reports, coupled with other reports of mysterious disappearance of army officers from certain army units, are true, then what we have unfolding here is a situation similar to the one that existed in the early 1980s when problems within the regime intermeshed with the ongoing uprising, and contributed to the escalation of violence. The difference here, of course, is the nonviolent character of the protests. The only safeguard protesters have against violence is not to practice it themselves. Fortunately they realize it.
This will continue to be a story of rocks and chants against batons and bullets for the foreseeable future.
Areas that saw major protests today: Deraa City, Banyas, Lattakia, Homs (Hawleh), Qadsiyyeh, Mouaddamiyyeh.
Eyewitness from Banyas: some officers refused to shoot at protesters and were shot by security officers, I saw 5 getting killed with my own eyes, and there were others watching. I am told that an officer is now hiding with local inhabitants, says that army troops being forced to kill protesters

Commercial Rating Appeals
Every five years the rateable values of all 1.75 million business properties in England and Wales are reassessed. The most recent revaluation came into effect on 1 April 2010. Many ratepayers received details of their proposed new rateable value in the form of a summary valuation.
The 2010 Rating List is now in effect
The most recent Valuation of Commercial Property was in 2010. There will be a revaluation in 2015. There have been changes to the regulations covering the submission of appeals (proposals) against your current Rateable Value.
Probably the most important of the changes is the removal of the time limits on submitting proposals (rating appeals) and the introduction of a restriction on the number of proposals that a ratepayer, or their representative, can submit.
In the past, there was no restriction on the number of proposals (appeals) that could be submitted and, as a result, it was not uncommon to submit several duplicate proposals against the same Rateable Value on the same property at the same effective date for the same reasons.
In addition to this, during the 2000 Rating List there were time limits on the submission of proposals which meant that if you submitted your appeal against your 2000 list Rateable Value after 31st March 2001, any success you had could only be effective from the start of the year in which the appeal was submitted. This made some agents submit a proposal on the same property every year.
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA or VO) blamed these practices for the long delays in the Rating Appeal system as it could take up to three years for a Rating Appeal to be resolved. In an effort to cut down on duplicate appeals, the new regulations say that a ratepayer can submit only one proposal for any one event. For example, if your property was given a new rateable value from 1st April 2010 you can appeal against it - once.
If, for example, there is a Material Change of Circumstance (MCC) in your locality (such as a shopping centre opening in December 2008) and you feel it has a detrimental effect on your business, you can submit a proposal to have your Rateable Value reduced because of that one MCC - once.
Thus we can submit an Appeal against the Rateable Value of the Premises which, if successful would result in a rebate for each rating year back to 2005.
Contact us now for a Quotation
Attention small businesses!
If your rateable value is less than £15,000 (or less than £21,500 in Greater London) you may benefit from the Small Business Rate Relief scheme. You will need to register your eligibility with your local authority.
Since the introduction of Uniform Business Rates there have been many instances where it has been possible to reduce the costs of a business by appealing against the rating assessment.
A detailed case must be made including analysis of comparable evidence and negotiations with the District Valuer are undertaken.
Further recourse is available to the Valuation Tribunal if no agreement is reached.
To arrange a Rating Valuation or Appeal, please advise us of your name and telephone number as well as brief details of the property concerned by clicking this link.
Changes to Empty Rates
It used to be the case that most types of empty property were subject to rates at 50% of the normal charge. Local authorities, not the VOA, levy rates, including empty property rates.
Recent legislation to modernise this form of rate relief aimed to provide strong incentives to bring vacant premises back into use by removing these reductions to the business
rates bill.
The main change was to amend Part 3 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, to increase the empty property rate from 50% to 100% of the basic occupied business rate, after initial void periods elapsed. For most properties, excluding industrial, the void period is three months. For industrial properties, the void period is six months. The change is intended to encourage owners to re-let, re-develop or sell empty non-domestic buildings.
Properties owned by charities and community amateur sports clubs will, in future, not be liable to empty property rates.
The changes came into effect on 1 April 2008.
Following the 2010 Budget Statement in 2010/11 no property will be subject to an Empty Rates Charge if the rateable value is below £18,000.

Nigerian-born Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's award-winning fiction — trenchantly observed tales of her country's people, and the mix of the personal and political in their lives — seems tailor-made for the emotional sweep of cinema. And "Half of a Yellow Sun," writer-director Biyi Bandele's adaptation of Adichie's novel of loyalty and betrayal set against the turbulence of the 1960s Biafran war, certainly makes for an honorably propulsive wartime soap. It's just not stirring enough as historical drama.
Bandele is fortunate enough to have a top-drawer cast in Thandie Newton and Anika Noni Rose as swanlike Olanna and Kainene, respectively, English-educated sisters whose relationships with intellectual men — a "revolutionary" professor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) with a judgmental village mom, and a waspy British writer (Joseph Mawle) — suffer in the fractious events following Nigeria's 1960 independence.
Bandele's theatrical penchant for proscenium-style visuals occasionally gives the romantic entanglements and dioramas of class difference a lush intimacy, like a true window on a time of messy, prideful promise. But when the horrors of civil war intrude — marked by clockwork insertions of archival black-and-white newsreels and catch-up voice over, plus awkward scenes of sudden violence — the movie's personality dissolves. The choppy melodrama leaves "Half of a Yellow Sun" feeling not quite so whole.
"Half of a Yellow Sun."
Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes.
Playing: At Laemmle's Music Hall 3, Beverly Hills; and Laemmle's Town Center 5, Encino.

Julius Shulman photographed Los Angeles architecture beginning in the 1940s to promote modernism as an innovative and exciting lifestyle to the general public. His photographs are often devoid of any evidence of inhabitance, and therefore contain a sterile, eerie quality. My renderings explore this quality by creating a more inviting and relatable adaptation of the image to illustrate the transformation in public perception of modern architecture from idealized, cutting-edge, yet unattainable structures, to practical living spaces. I chose not to disguise the renderings with elaborate texture-mapping in order to maintain a noticeably digital environment, mimicking Shulman's take on modernism by presenting an aesthetic which, 50 or more years from now, may be widely accepted.

Did you notice that people's faces are getting hairier and hairier lately? Don't worry, it's not a werewolf thing. It's Movember!
Movember is a yearly initiative that takes place every November, with the purpose of raising funds and awareness to men's health issues. Movember participants (aka Mo Bros) are encouraged to cultivate and groom a proud mustache for the entire month. Girls are invited to join as well and become Mo Sistas with a variety of mustache accessories. It's a fun way to do some good, and people all over the world are taking part in Movember festivities.
Watch the Wix Team prepare for Movember (*Disclaimer: parental guidance suggested)
This year, the Wix Team will be growing a mustache as well. We want to contribute to this important cause by encouraging all of our employees to go full Mo!
For each male employee that grows a 'stache (or female employee that spreads the word), Wix will donate $100 to the Movember charity foundation.
So far, dozens of Wix employees already signed up for the program. According to the Movember rules, the first step was to get them all shaved up. Now they have the entire month to sport a classy, elegant mustache. Some are already starting to show some stubble! The ladies of Wix are not sitting idle, and they are busy promoting Movember on their personal social profiles and amongst friends.
Wix users with HTML5 websites can help promote Movember as well, with the gorgeous mustache badge that we designed especially for the occasion. To add a mustache badge to your Wix site and support men's health, follow these steps:
Want to see what else you can do on Movember? Have a look at the foundation's website and learn what you can do to help.
Together we can make a change! And grow some rad mustaches.

Unity probably isn't a bad idea for tablets and similar touchscreen devices which run a limited number of applications and probably only one at a time, but it's a lousy interface for a desktop; having to hunt through a massive list of applications is insanely inefficient compared to starting them from a menu, for example. I also find it incredibly unintuitive as the designers seem to have thrown away the mouse interface so that it can work on a touchscreen; why can't I just right-click on a file to delete it, for example?
Gnome 3 seems to be a simiilar step backwards for people who actually know how to use a computer, slowing down the interface in favor of fancy graphics effects.

After reading this report about another example of Barack Obama and John Kerry lying to the American people about the Iran deal, I wonder if members of Congress such as Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) or Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) who sold their souls and the safety of American, Israeli, and Saudi Arabian children to the devil for a few pieces of political silver, regret their decisions.
On Thursday, The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) published a new report (embedded below) showcasing another part of the P5+1 deal kept secret from the American people and their representatives in Congress. The Iranians who have been receiving bribes from American taxpayers, and have been publicly humiliating the United States since the deal was signed was given secret exemptions to the deal from the U.S. and the other negotiators. As a result of this secret side deal and another one discovered in July, Iran's breakout to build a bomb time is <5 months (the adminstration promised us a year), resulting in a much shorter time to react if our intelligence (or Israel's, or any of the other enemies of the terrorist regime) discovered that Iran was building a nuclear weapon.
The ISIS report outlined three areas where the rogue regime was given a secret exemptions and one other area where Iran was allowed exploit a loophole.
Trending: Amid Global Turmoil, Iran Sends More Threats To US
The decisions of the Joint Commission have not been announced publicly. The Obama administration informed Congress of key Joint Commission decisions on Implementation Day but in a confidential manner. HoweverReuters is reporting:
Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, a leading critic of the Iran deal and a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Reuters in an email: "I was not aware nor did I receive any briefing (on the exemptions)."
Gee, if Hillary Clinton was still secretary of state, Congress would have known about it (but only if they hired someone to hack into her private server).
The exemptions are very technical but they all have a similar result, that Iran will have nuclear fuel that has a higher level of enrichment (and have more of it) than we were told publicly…

Lech Walesa - as buoyant as ever and seemingly undefeated in spirit after 11 months of internment - has quickly affirmed his undiminished commitment to the reform and union agreement he negotiated with the Polish government over two years ago.
But he also offered to work in ''friendship'' with the government for the reconstruction of Poland.
Which will it be - leader of an independent union or friendly supporter of recent government initiatives?
For its part, the government of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski is clearly waiting to see what Walesa does as a ''private person.'' For the moment it regards him - in the words of the official news agency - as the ''former leader of the former union Solidarity.'' There is only a hint that there might be a future role for him to play.
Walesa's gesture was made in a news conference with the foreign press at his Gdansk home, only some 12 hours after a reunion with his wife Danuta and their seven children.
''I remain faithful to the agreement (of August 1980 with government),'' Walesa said, ''and I will not depart from its spirit.'' But as he had done during the turbulent events of 1981, he also acknowledged that in Poland's present economic plight, limits on the union's role might be necessary.
It is being taken for granted here that martial law will be lifted when the Sejm (parliament) meets in special session Dec. 13 - exactly one year after military rule was imposed and Solidarity suspended.
Everyone is asking: What will Walesa do? Will Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski accept his proposal for talks? What is his view of the labor unions prescribed in the new law? (The law provides for independent self-governing unions within individual workplaces.)
General Jaruzelski has affirmed the ''independence'' of the new unions and said they will be ''what the working people want them to be.'' One may assume that for a majority of workers - even those who ignored the underground strike call for Nov. 10 - that means a union movement in which Walesa will have a part to play.
On that specific point, General Jaruzelski has just told a British reporter that Walesa's future will depend on ''what he does now that he is free.'' He would judge him, the general said, by his ''future activity, by the discipline he displays, by his public utterances - especially to the Western press.''
Walesa has taken care in his first two public statements since his release not to overstep the boundaries Poland's military rulers have in mind:
''I want to work for the development (of Poland) in a spirit of friendship on the road to social peace so that we may realize what it is possible to realize in the situation in which we find ourselves.
''I must confront my ideas with reality,'' he said.
He declined to comment on the union underground directed by the handful of leading activists who eluded police capture when martial law was imposed. He had had a premonition it was coming, he said, and he might have escaped, too.
''I didn't try,'' he said. ''I wanted to take the responsibility on myself to stay to the end - as a responsible Pole who lost a battle that could not have been won.''
It was the kind of statement likely to commend itself to Poland's disciplinarian-minded soldier leader.
It is just about a year since Jaruzelski, Walesa, and the Polish primate, Archbishop Jozef Glemp, met in a last effort at dialogue before martial law. Some informed quarters here indicate that Walesa's letter a week ago to Jaruzelski was drafted on lines counseled by Pope John-Paul II and brought to Warsaw by the primate.
It is one of several indications of how firmly the Roman Catholic Church backs any attempt to renew dialogue for a ''national front'' - government, church, and workers - akin to the one first floated in November 1981. It could be the next thing to happen here, either before or after martial law is possiblyended Dec. 13.

A uniformly accepted definition of biotechnology does not exist. Under the broadest definition, the use of biological sciences to develop products, conventional plant and animal breeding techniques, conducted since the dawn of civilization, fall under biotechnology. In the popular press, biotechnology generally refers to newly-developed scientific methods used to create products by altering the genetic makeup of organisms and producing unique individuals or traits that are not easily obtained through conventional breeding techniques. These products are often referred to as transgenic, bioengineered, or genetically modified because they contain foreign genetic material. Agriculture is one of the first industries radically affected by this new technology on both a fundamental production level and a legal level. Read the full overview

The Color Taker
The Color Taker Question
This morning when I woke from a peaceful nine hour drooling, snorefest of marthon sleeping I prepared myself a big cup of the darkest black Ethiopian coffee available on the planet. I subsequently sipped on this beast of caffeine until it was completely gone and my Spider Sense was tingling ferociously. I was fully awake and overly alert to say the least. My wife was napping on the couch and the twins were milling about the house playing games and things that children do. My oldest daughter was getting ready for work at the local grocery store called "Strokers" which is next to Granny Cussers convenience store "The G Spot" right down the street from "Harry Pits Pub". The television was tuned into some innane cartoon nobody was watching. The stupid cat was prowling around hoping somebody dropped a can of opened catfood on the floor.
I was feeling bored so I decided to get online and check E-Mail or play Warcraft (Another of my addictive afflictions). I was just getting the computer logged on when the sudden undeniable urge to pee hit me with a vicious urgency. I went to the bathroom and relieved myself (I'll spare you the details, but let's just say it's heavy work and the hours are long). As I was doing so, I became woefully aware of the fact that the blackest coffee I had ever drank just exited my body in a clear form. How can this be?
My question is this: Where does the color in sodas, coffee, tea, or any other beverages go when it is ingested?
Is my color takers warranty going to expire one day without warning? Will I go to pee one day and a black (or whatever color the beverage) stream come out causing trauma to my mental stability? Could someone give me tips on extending the life of my color taker, there are pills for everything these days surely someone has had a color taker break down at some point in history.

Volkswagen is all about increasing its market share in a bid to capture the title of 'world's largest automaker.' A key component of this expansionist strategy is the ability to extend its tendrils into as many product niches as possible in order to lure in buyers seeking a vehicle that is the perfect fit for their particular lifestyle and needs.
The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI represents the embodiment of the new VW, a design that has matured from its kitschy neo-classic roots into a legitimate contender for those who simply want a stylish compact coupe. The introduction of a turbodiesel drivetrain under its hood for 2013 gives VW three strong power plants with which to tempt potential buyers and further solidify its lead as the number one provider of affordable diesel cars in the United States.
The pursuit of mass-market appeal, however, has revealed some cracks in VW's reputation for providing an upscale vehicle experience at a bargain price, as well as raised questions concerning the real world efficiency of its turbodiesel technology in cold weather climates. Facing down competitors such as the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the Honda Civic Coupe, and a host of interesting hatchback options from Ford, Mazda, and even its VW Golf stable mate, the Beetle TDI is not a clear-cut choice for those who desire an economical daily driver.

Content descriptions
|Summary, etc.:
In No Moment Too Small, Vest focuses on three of the foundations of the Benedictine way: silence, the exploration of Scripture and other spiritual writings (lectio divina), and the hours of prayer. These essentials of Benedict's sixth-century rule of life offer a practical framework for spiritual growth in our own day, a path to God through the events and people of ordinary lives.In her discussion of lectio-on-life, for example, Vest provides insight on the reading of our lives as the "text" in which we find God's Word written in the ordinary events of daily life. Exercises for individuals or groups follow each chapter on silence, prayer, and holy reading. Excellent for Lenten study groups as well as ongoing prayer or Bible study groups.

Bloomberg sat down with Verizon President Lowell McAdam who was on stage with Tim Cook during yesterday's big Verizon iPhone announcement, and their discussion sheds some light on some of the negotiations held between Verizon and Apple that led to them finally carrying Apple's flagship smartphone. Here are some quick highlights, beginning with McAdam talking about their branding and logo missing from the device itself:
To reach a deal, Apple and Verizon had to reconcile different approaches to branding. Verizon puts its stamp on other manufacturers' devices, including phones from Research In Motion Ltd. and Motorola. By contrast, only Apple's name appears on the iPhone.
"They don't put a lot of logos on their phones," McAdam said in the interview. "So that wasn't a major issue for us."
Former Apple exec Jean-Louis Gassee chimed in saying that Verizon probably saw the success of the iPhone under AT&T and quickly agreed to requests from Apple on excluding carrier branding. Given the amount of crapware and branding on every other phone under Verizon, we have a feeling this was more difficult for Verizon to agree on than McAdam would like you to believe. But did they ultimately have a choice?
In addition, last year's reports of Verizon cell towers on Apple's campus turned out to be for testing the Verizon iPhone as most had assumed.
The companies erected Verizon cellular towers at Apple's Cupertino, California, headquarters to check the phone's signal and avoid the reliability troubles of the iPhone at AT&T.
The most interesting thing to note, however, is that most of the negotiations took place between Apple COO Tim Cook and McAdam himself, without much input from Steve Jobs unless it was really needed. Verizon and Apple worked together for over half a year on the technical hurdles they faced before deciding the device was ready for primetime.
"We probably worked six or nine months on the technical side of this and saw we could make this work," McAdam said. "Then we did the commercial side. The commercial deal took us a day."
It's interesting to see how things played out leading up to the Verizon iPhone event on Tuesday, especially when it comes to the technical and branding issues involved. Now that it's finally here, how do you think it will sell in comparison to AT&T? Let us know in the comments!

Welcome! Thanks for reading. This website is dedicated to my Rolfing® Structural Integration practice.
I'm Meran Cassidy and I've been Rolfing here in Melbourne for over 12 years. My clinic is locaterd in Brunswick East, just north of Melbourne.
Rolfing has been my love since meeting it during my Massage Certification back in 2002. I hadn't heard ot it and was intreguied by the unusual name.
Rolfing® is named after its founder Dr Ida Rolf. She was originally a chemist and was one of the first people to study fascia. She was interested in wholistic methods - homeopathy, osteopathy and yoga. She developed Structural Integration (Rolfing was its nickname) through an initial desire to help her loved ones. This became a passion and she developed the 10 series - a group of sessions designed to halance and organised the body in gravity, which she taught to people across the world until her death in 1979.
There are now more than 1500 Rolfers worldwide and the modality is increasing in popularity for its capacity to assit people not only to recover from injuries but to feel better in their bodies.
I am proud to be one of only 5 Certified Rolfers in the Melbourne area. I am a gentle Rolfer and I specialise in working with movement and coordiation. Please explore my website to get a feel for what I do.
Rolfing® designates the Rolf Institute's brand of structural integration, the discipline developed by the late Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D. While the Rolf Institute is Dr. Rolf's original school of structural integration, it is now one of many schools of structural integration; and Rolfing® structural integration designates the practice of structural integration by graduate members of the Rolf Institute, who are licensed to use its service marks.
Rolfing®, Rolfer™, Rolf Movement™, Rolf Institute, The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration and the Little Boy Logo are service marks of The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration, registered in the U.S. and other countries.

I'd never heard of the term 'orientalism' until studying on this course. I'd heard of the Orient and I knew that the suffix 'ism' was an ideology or philosophy so I could have probably guessed. But what I don't think I was aware of was the discourse and social negativity surrounding the word and how it still impacts on our views and understanding today.
In his book Formations of Modernity (1992) Stuart Hall, using Edward Said's book Orientalism (1977) basically says that how we represent the 'orient' stops us from really understanding the Far East. We almost have this romantic view (think of the luxurious train the Orient Express) of the Orient. The Far East is seen as mysterious, strange, brutal and we put our European slant on it. It's the 'West and the Rest' kind of thinking. Unless a country (and therefore its culture) is similar to ours then it must be different and difference is to be feared and as a result not understood or trusted. Although I don't share these beliefs, there are many who do!
Said (1977) refers mainly to the Middle East as the orient and unfortunately over the years the term 'Middle East' has come to mean repression, war and terrorism and let's not forget belly dancing and fanatical religious beliefs (according to some of the media).I think as a result of that, few people bother to look under the surface to understand the true facts about this vast area of the world. If we do (and I mean the British) attempt to find out more, maybe on holiday, then we tend to visit the more 'acceptable' face of the Middle East – usually Turkey or Cyprus where there's always an English pub around the corner! Picture from Tripadvisor – Paphos.
Our views of the Middle East are deeply rooted in what Said describes 'western imagination' and the caricatured discourse does not give opportunity to understand the region and its complexities.
During the reign of the British Empire, orientalism was a handy mechanism for justifying and vindicating Britain's rule over such countries. The clouded views and beliefs allowed our dominance to be more acceptable. This view to some extent remains because as we continue to view the Middle East as barbaric and uncivilised, it allows for military action either directly (the war in Iraq and Afghanistan) or indirectly through supporting alternative political groups who would overthrow the 'tyrannical' regime (e.g. Syria). Thinking further, I began to think about how we (the West) are viewed in the Middle East and Asia – and of course there is a term!
Occidentalism is the term used to describe the view of the 'East' towards the West. Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit in their book – Occidentalism: The West in the Eyes of Its Enemies,(2004) give quite a damning account of the cultural discourse of the West. Although this term originated in the West, it was believed that this stereotype has been used in a reaction to the rise of Western modernism. The West is seen as a "machine civilization," with imperialism at its heart. It describes:
" the sinfulness and rootlessness of urban life; the corruption of the human spirit in a materialistic, market-driven society; the loss of organic community;" Buruma and Margalit (2004)
Buruma and Margalit give no answers as to what the West can do to change this discourse and similarly, until both cultures begin to accept, understand and appreciate their differences and diversity, then these cultural stereotypes will continue to drive political and social agendas.
Having written this blog, we went down to Mezze Palace, a Lebanese restaurant in Bristol. Great food, great traditional music, great atmosphere and a belly dancer – positive orientalism at its finest!

Portugal blame the referee for 4-0 beating
But in Portugal they ask people to stop the obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal could not prevent the Germans from earning a humiliating 4-0 win in their first World Cup match. Photograph: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
First Spain and now Portugal - the city of Salvador clearly has it in for Iberian football at this World Cup.
As did, if one was to believe the Portuguese players after their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Germany, referee Milorad Mazic.
Football's most reliable pantomime villain Pepe left the Novo Fonte stadium refusing to speak to reporters after his early red card. "Talk to the ref instead," he advised. "If the officials had not erred, the game would have turned out differently," opined Ricardo Costa.
But back in Portugal today's newspapers are less certain about where blame lies for the country's worst ever World Cup defeat. "The ref didn't help? No, he didn't. And the team even less so," wrote Publico's Hugo Daniel Sousa.
"To concentrate on the performance of the referee is half way there to a new defeat," he warned.
Instead Sousa rounded on the players for their obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo to the detriment of any attempt at team play.
"Having one of the best players in the world can and should be an advantage," he observed. "It is even natural that we ask that he appear at decisive moments. But what cannot happen is that his team mates justify the jokes that Portugal's tactics amount to passing to Ronaldo and hoping he scores."
For Ronaldo, the player who was both cheered and booed the most during the game, there was both humiliation and sympathy. Argentina's Olé published a picture of him with a pained expression on his face and a speech bubble asking: "Can I change team?"
But over at La Nacion, Juan Pablo Varsky observed that he had no help from his companions on the field.
"It gave you the desire to see him wearing white as the game entered its decorative final period and to see Müller wearing red so that he could experiment with the sadness of playing without colleagues… One star does not make a team."
Meanwhile local organisers admitted to the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper that they totally underestimated the number of Argentine fans who would show up for Sunday's game in Rio's Maracanã stadium against Bosnia.
The original estimate was for 10,000 but up to 50,000 are now believed to have made the trip. Many of them were without tickets but managed to penetrate the poorly policed security cordon around the ground, with some of these managing to force their way in.
On Monday Brazil's tourism ministry said it expected 600,000 thousands foreigners to visit the country for the tournament with over three million Brazilians making at least one domestic trip during the month for the football.
According to Fifa 1,395,886 tickets have been sold in Brazil. The largest number sold abroad was 198,208 in the US, followed by 61,477 in Argentina. Fans in England bought the fifth highest amount - 58,105 tickets, just behind sales in Germany.
After fears during the build-up about the ability of the country's air transport network to handle the volume of people taking flights, Brazil's civil aviation authorities said the average number of delayed flights so far during the tournament is just 6.5 per cent, with Monday the single worst day so far - seeing nine per cent of flights delayed.

Pacific Beach State Park
Run with your kite, or your dog, on a flat sandy beach. Inhale the salt sea air and listen to the Pacific Ocean as it crashes on the shore by your side. Help the kids build sand castles, go fishing or dig for clams in season.
This small camping park northwest of Aberdeen features waterfront tent sites, yurts and RV hookups, so the fun doesn't have to end at sundown. Make a small fire on the beach (be sure it's more than 100 feet from vegetation), roast up some s'mores and watch the evening sky turn blue and then black with stars - or gray with storm clouds.
You will remember Pacific Beach as an invigorating day or weekend stop or special camp stay on a road trip to the coast.

A program to train 50 people for entry-level jobs in the health-care industry will start in July. This initiative, which is being announced by New Orleans Works, or N.O.W., will be underwritten by a $209,145 grant from the National Fund for Workforce Solutions to cover such expenses as tuition, transit, child care and housing.
When participants complete training, everyone will be guaranteed a job as a medical assistant, said Bonita Robertson, N.O.W.'s interim site director. The organization is housed at the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
Medical assistants perform duties such as clerical work, processing transfer and discharge orders, and answering questions from patients and visitors.
Collaborating on this project will be Ochsner Health System; Delgado Community College; JOB1, which is New Orleans' Office of Workforce Development; and Providence Community Housing, which works to provide affordable housing and job opportunities.
JOB1 and Providence Community Housing will be recruiting people for the program, Robertson said, and Delgado and Ochsner personnel will provide training.

Jasper Lane is a small inner city community of 12 detached and semi-detached houses discreetly located in a quiet residential street of New Farm in Brisbane.
Access is by a narrow lane from the street to arch which the houses are located. All houses are generally over 3 levels, each has an address and garage to the lane, with small and large courtyard spaces to the North and South. The relatively low cost varying design and spatial briefs and restricted site influenced the design approach which employs venational construction techniques and standard systems for an economy of means but with a degree of diversity of expression within a range of design manners.
White registered masonry and flat painted light sight sheeting to walls are composed with relatively large areas of glazing and screening in both timber and aluminium in response to a need to increase privacy.
All houses enjoy North / South orientation, excellent access ventilation and generous outdoor living areas, overlooking larger private courtyards and wider views, depending on location, for maximum enjoyment of the benign sub-tropical climate.

My name is Laura and I come from Oceanside, California. I'm now 35 years old and most of my life has been spent around sleeping health. Yeah, that is right . All through my life, I have always been interested in mattresses, pillows, toppers and all other sleeping products the world has ever had. I remember as a young child, I used to have boundless energy, and I used it to quell the desire to know whether a certain design of pillow was bouncy enough for comfort, or if a certain piece of bedding had the right feel. I enjoyed lying on soft, classy beddings. Most of the people in my life never understood my preoccupation with these things, but that never stopped me from trying to feel my way through the world of sleep.
A passage of time
Over the years, my love for this topic has only grown, and so has my experience. I can tell you what mattress has the right feel, the right density and the right amount of bounce. To me, these things are a second part of myself, a part that has grown steadily over the years. I can walk into a store and point out what beddings are right for everyone and which ones have nothing special.
It is my relentless passion that has brought me here today. I have always wanted to share my knowledge with the world, and the idea of doing it over the internet appealed to me. Isn't it just amazing? I can just push buttons on my keyboard and you on the other side of the world can simply read up on what the best sleep products are out there. The idea of doing reviews has never been far off my mind and it gives me endless pleasure to be with you, to guide you every step of the way.
The idea of choice
Honestly, there is too much misleading information out there when it comes to sleeping products. Manufacturers are always talking about why they have the best, and they are always touting what they sell as picture-perfect. Admittedly, some of the things they say are right, and there are top-notch products out there, but who wouldn't say their merchandise is the best? No one, of course. Everyone is backing their own horse, and this is part of marketing.

Interactive Story Acting
Interactive Story Acting is a special form of theater where an experienced actor acts out a fairy tale by slipping into the roles of the various characters. The children participate in the experience of creating the play by sharing their opinions, interacting with the storyteller, and even jumping up on stage and performing different roles such as the Seven Dwarfs or different animals in the forest. It is a wonderful theatrical form where children actively participate in creating a thrilling theater experience.
Puss in Boots
Once upon a time there was a poor miller who had three sons.
When the miller died, the first two sons greedily took everything and left the house. They only left behind the cat for the third son. The son was very sad. He loved his father the most and wept for him and said, "I have nothing but this cat! I will eat him and then soon, I shall die too!" Hearing this, the cat said, "Master, please give me a bag full of carrots and grain and see what great wonders I can do! Please give me a coat and your boots, too!"And then a wonderfull story begins…

This was phenomenal. I was absolutely taken with this story, it was truly amazing. There was so much pain and heartbreak but in the end it makes it all seem so worth it. I am sad to read about Tarrant going the wrong type of mad and what happen to Alice, but she and Tarrant- they saved each other, in the end I believe they were both finally free. The was exceptionally well written and I very much enjoyed it. :3

Words cannot express how much love I have for this story! It was amazing, start to finish. I'm actually now feeling rather down and empty because it's over. I'm waiting in anticipation to see any more Alice/Hatter stories you write.
Much appreciation for the beautiful read,
Pais. x

Music Events Calendar
Date and Time
Wednesday, January 17, 2018 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Haas Center for Performing Arts » 1325 - Sherman Van Solkema Hall
Richard Stöhr (1874-1967) was a celebrated composer, respected author and revered teacher at the Vienna Academy of Music. Ousted and exiled by the Nazis because of his Jewish heritage, Stöhr emigrated to the US in 1939 and taught at the Curtis Institute before settling in Vermont. He never returned to Vienna and his music has largely been forgotten. In October 2014, Stefan Koch presented the Cello and Piano music of Richard Stöhr during CelloFest. On January 17, 2018 he returns with Mary Siciliano, piano and Laura Roelofs, violin to perform Richard Stöhr's early masterpiece, the Piano Trio Op. 16 (1905). This late Romantic work has never been performed in the US until now. The performers have a CD of the work coming out in January.
This event is free and open to the public!

Bethesda has released a new Dishonored 2 live-action trailer that showcases Emily and Corvo's new abilities.
As Bethesda's previous live action teasers (we had ones for both Fallout 4 and Doom) the video won't show you very much graphically, but it does have startling similarities to the tone and gameplay mechanics, including a first-person perspective of Emily's new power Far Reach, and her deadly Domino attack.
The trailer also comes with news that pre-orderers of Dishonored 2 will be able to the play the game 24 hours before the November 11 street date, as well as a free digital copy of Dishonored: Definitive Edition. Which is immensely good, by the way.
Dishonored 2 will launch worldwide on November 11, 2016, on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Joe's already encapsulated his thoughts on the latest Dishonored 2 preview, and you can also check out my capture footage of mission 4, The Clockwork Mansion. Apparently, it's painful to watch.
Anyone else wish there was a Dishonored movie now?

AIDS stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It is also called HIV which means human immune deficiency virus.
Aids is a disease while HIV is the name of the virus causing this disease. As the name indicates, the diseases makes the immune system deficient in its capability to fight against bacteria and viruses.
So, when one catches HIV and gets AIDS, the body natural defense mechanism is weakened and loses the capability to perform its functions properly.
The body resistance power is not able to maintain against the enemies and thus the person easily falls ill.
The infections avail the opportunity of the weaker security force and thus launch their attack. These infections are also known as opportunistic infections or Ols.
According to Aids.gov, HIV virus is just like any other viruses such as the one that causes flu or even the common cold.
But the important difference is that the immune system wins against other viruses and thus gets the body rid off them.
However, in case of HIV, the immune system is unable to do so. Why? Scientists have yet to figure it out.
The first AIDS case is said to have been identified in 1981. After that, it has spread worldwide and is engulfing other parts like epidemic.
The most hit areas are the Western African countries. WHO estimates that in some parts of the African countries more than 33% people are infected with HIV.
It can be transferred through sexual intercourse, blood transfusion, sharing inject-able drugs, dirty needles and other equipments such as used for body piercing.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are around 0.9 million cases of HIV in the United States.
The number of people infected by HIV is around 91,000 in the UK. According to another estimate there are 33 million people infected by HIV worldwide.
According to medical science there is no cure for AIDS. The treatment available is through medication which may effectively fight against HIV and its complications.
Such treatments try to keep the immunity system healthy. However, these treatments cannot completely get rid the body off HIV.
Once diagnosed and treated effectively, it may prolong the life for sometime.
The Role of Black Seed in Fighting HIV
Black seed is a seed by the flowering herb called Nigella Sativa. It is called black simply because it is dark black in color.
It is known in English by many names such as black cumin, nutmeg flower, black caraway, fennel flower and Nigella Sativa.
In Urdu, Hindi and many other languages spoken in Asia it is called Kalanoji while in Arabic it is called Habba al-barakah which means the blessed seed.
Muslims believe that it cures any disease except death. The belief comes from the fact that Prophet (Peace be upon him said) in a hadeeth related in Bukhari.
"Narrated Abu Hurairah " I heard Allah's Apostle saying "Use this Black seed; it has a cure for every disease except death." (Sahih Bukhari)
Every disease of course includes AIDS.
What does research say?
Several studies have concluded that black seed boosts the general immunity system.
Dr Haq of Medical Research Center Riyadh, Saudi Arabia conducted a study on volunteers in which he found that black seed enhanced the ratio between helper T Cells and suppressor T cells by 55 and 30.
The study shows further investigation may reveal certain components in black seed which may play a useful role in treating diseases like AIDS.
Dr. Ahmed El Qadi & Dr. Usama Qandil conducted a study to investigate the effects of black seed on the immunity system.
27 volunteers were given 2 grams of black seed daily which showed a positive effect on the ratio of Th and Ts.
The investigator concluded that black seed was a natural stimulant of immunity and could play a vital role in the treatment of cancer, AIDS and other diseases due to immune deficiency.
Muslims out-rightly beleive that it can cure AIDS because of the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
It is an article of faith in Islam to believe that the Prophet (peace be upon him) never lied. In fact, he did not speak of his own self.
What he spoke was either revealed to him or was inspired by God. People at the other end of the spectrum argue that if it can be so effective why are scientists not investigating it?
In alternative therapies, it is a known fact that many effective solutions have not been verified by science.
Science believes in proof, evidence and research. Unless, it carries a solid comprehensive research to prove its point, it does not believe.
However, scientific evidence is not the only evidence.
For instance, people in the medical profession do not believe that eating local honey can prove effective against allergies, or that bee stings or venom therapy have any scientific basis.
But there are scores of people who have been well treated by such natural remedies. The same is true of many other conditions.
The immunity system directly or indirectly affects the bodily system. Just like any disturbance in the body, AIDS is an immunity disturbance.
It is a condition in which the immunity system becomes deficient in fighting against diseases.
It loses it defense capability of fighting bacteria, viruses and fungi. The stronger this defense system is, the easier it is for the body to fight against disease. Black seed enhances both the immunity system and its functions.
Some quarters suggest those suffering from AIDS/HIV should try black seed or its oil as there is no harm in trying it in moderation.
They think it takes around 3 months to show results. We also need to keep in mind that anything which is used as medicinal treatment may treat some and not others.
Because it is God who blesses the material things with curing properties.
Many times, we find people taking conventional medicines scientifically proved for certain conditions do not work, while the same medication works for others.
Because, the ultimate power to cure some body lies with God. So, what works or does not work depends on the Will of God.
If black seed does not work for somebody to cure a condition, it does not mean that the seed has no medicinal properties. It simply means, God intends otherwise for that individual (for greater good).

Tall, Dark, and Dead – 18 – Return of the Living Dead
Title: Return of the Living Dead
Year: 1985
Director: Dan O'Bannon
Leads: Thom Mathews, Don Calfa, Linnea Quigley
Favorite quote: "Send…more…cops!"
Thoughts: So, here we go with the Return franchise. Excuse me, I'm going to need to top off my True Blood pint glass, here. (With delicious, non-alcoholic Tru Blood. Swear.)
You see, I am deeply conflicted about the Return films. On the one hand I recognize their outlandish awesomeness, love what they have to say about pollution and drug use, and respect their influence on the genre. On the other hand…I have a strong dislike of brain-eating zombies. There. I said it.
In fact, I used to outright despise Russo and O'Bannon for the "Brains!" thing (and zombies which, upon death, apparently inherent the ability to produce unthought-of PSI with their jaws – the things bite into human skulls like they're overripe melons, for the love of God). However, I now realize that I do owe them a debt. It was Russo and O'Bannon who introduced the genre to fast zombies, as well as backing up Romero's contributions toward zombie intelligence. For that, I am eternally grateful.
And, of course…Tar Man. They did give me Tar Man. I freaking love Tar Man. His movements, his aesthetic, his labored breathing, his knowledge of industrial winch use…God, Tar Man. You rock.
Add the great music and some awesome effects work with medical educational models (here's an idea: Trioxin hits a Body Worlds exhibition), and I can enjoy watching it every few years or so. So all in all, not a total loss.

Our guide to holidays in Sandbanks
With one of the most impressive beaches in the country to its name and a reputation for attracting the jet set, Sandbanks is the playground of the rich and famous. It's not unusual to spot the odd celebrity sunning themselves or enjoying one of the many watersports out at sea, and this sandy little corner of Dorset's perfect for those of you in needy of a beachy break with plenty to do.
As peaceful as it is stylish, Sandbanks is the kind of resort where there's always something going on, there's a family attraction for every kind of weather, and a break in the area is pretty much about having a great time. The beach is one of the best in the country (both in terms of its cleanliness and the 'wow' factor), so if you're content to just spend your break lying back in a sandy little corner of Heaven then Sandbanks is probably a good choice.
And then there are the events. Every now and then you'll be drawn from your deckchair to watch something unfold on the sand, such as the British Beach Polo Championships or the annual Volleyball Festival for example. So, if you don't feel like getting sporty yourself, you can grab a drink, sit back and watch the action unfold in front of you.
Sandbanks Beach
Sandbanks Beach is one of the finest stretches of coastline in the UK…no small claim we know, but just wait until you see it. With mile after mile of sand, regular awards for cleanliness and shallow water that makes it safe for families, Sandbanks Beach could have been made for lazy summer days.
There are lifeguards on patrol throughout the summer so you can enjoy your day with that extra peace of mind, and thanks to the seriously shallow waters, it's the perfect spot for baby's first tentative paddle in the waves. When the tide goes out, there's a huge expanse of beach, so although this is a popular spot for some sunbathing – you won't have to worry about being too close to your beach neighbours while you enjoy the day.
We know how important those amenities can be when you're spending time on the beach, especially if you have younger members of the family in tow, and you'll find plenty of restaurants, toilets and showers at Sandbanks Beach to keep everyone happy. To be honest, Sandbanks is one of those beaches that are so beautiful that all you'll really need to do to have a brilliant day is to just bring the buckets and spades, sit back and enjoy the sands.
Sandbanks attractions
Now, Sandbanks Beach may be the jewel in the area's crown, but there are still plenty of days out for those times when you peel yourself from the sand and decide to venture further afield. Let's start with one of the most popular ways to spend time in Sandbanks, on the water. Those guys that call the area home spend almost as much time out on the water as they do on dry land, and The Watersports Academy is the place to learn how to jet ski, kitesurf, kayak, sail or paddleboard…you name it, they'll show you how to do it.
For those of you who grew up with the adventures of the Famous Five, Corfe Castle in the nearby village of Corfe is said to be the ruin that inspired Kirren Castle, and it's the kind of ruin that sparks the kids' imaginations. Perched on a hilltop above the village, the castle looks down across the Isle of Purbeck, and it's a compelling spot for a wander and a picnic.
Speaking of adventure, one of the most popular Sandbanks attractions is the nearby Brownsea Island. The home of the scout movement, the island sits in Poole's famous harbour, and if you catch a ferry across the water to it you can discover the leafy, unspoilt world that sits quietly off the mainland waiting for visitors to step on its soil.
Now, Sandbanks may be known for its celebrity visitors and glamorous atmosphere, but that's not to say that a stay in the area isn't a chance to enjoy the great British seaside in all its glory. And, with that in mind, Sandbanks Crazy Golf is one of our favourite Sandbanks attractions. This 18 hole course has plenty of bridges, bumps and little obstacles to help keep a family golf tournament nice and terse, and we can't think of a better way to while away an hour or two during your break.
Where to eat in Sandbanks
If you've never heard of Rick Stein (as in the restaurant….everyone's heard of the man himself), trust us, it won't be too long before you hear about it once you set foot on those lovely famous sands. This swanky little number has views right across Poole harbour, and it's quickly built itself a reputation for serving great food to go with the views.
Now, this restaurant may be at the, shall we say, chic end of the scale, but it still serves up a mean casual lunch. If you've a hankering for a crab salad with a bit of style, or a moules mariniere, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy it while you soak up the views. And let's face it, few do seafood quite like Mr Stein.
Next, is the simple yet satisfying Sandbanks Beach Café. Perched right on the beach, the café's perfect for those morning coffees while you're getting ready to soak up the sun, lunch with the kids in between games on the sand…and well, anything really. A firm favourite with visitors and locals, this friendly café serves up good food in one of the most picturesque settings you'll ever drink a smoothie in.
