Television presenter Ben Fogle has escaped with only bruises after fighting off a mugger.
The serial adventurer wrote on Twitter how he had fought back when a chancer tried to snatch his briefcase.
He said: "Dear Mr Mugger. You picked on the wrong man. Enjoy the black eye. Love Ben."
The tweet to his 105,000 followers prompted numerous concerned messages from followers.
But the 40-year-old used the attention to reassure fans and shine the spotlight on the international effort to rescue nearly 300 Nigeria school girls.
He added: "Thanks for concerned messages. I'm fine. Suit scuffed and knuckles bruised. WAY more importantly #BringBackOurGirls #NigerianSchoolgirls"
In addition to TV presenting, Fogle's expeditions have included rowing across the Atlantic and racing to the South Pole together with Olympic rowing gold medallist James Cracknell.

Resident, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe knew the rent here was too low for something not to go horribly wrong...
Following a messy breakup, New York City ER doctor Juliet Devereau (Hilary Swank) begins looking for an affordable apartment. Her search ends when she comes across a massive, God knows how many bedroom flat. When she asks the owner/super Max (Jeffery Dean Morgan) why the rent is so impossibly affordable, he explains that he's working on the building, and that the construction noise chases away most tenants. Juliet believes Max, and strikes up a friendship with him, despite finding his grandfather August (Christopher Lee), who lives down the hall, more than a bit creepy. Juliet and Max's relationship veers towards the romantic, but she can't fully shake her feelings for her previous lover Jack (Lee Pace). The news doesn't go over well with Max.
As a psychological horror film The Resident (not to be confused with Hitchcock's The Lodger or Polanski's The Tenant) occasionally works, at least on basic terms. The scares are predictable and the disturbing elements are repetitive, but there are certainly moments that will make the audience's skin crawl as intended. The bigger problem is the character drama and back story, which really reeks of third generation Psycho recycling, minus any intuitive updates to the human condition. It's almost impossible to care at all about Swank's romantic relationship because it's only present as an afterthought, and because it's easier to bring back a former flame than to effectively develop a second relationship in such a brief runtime. Jeffrey Dean Morgan does his best Anthony Perkins impression with enough of a personal twist, but there's a lot of inadvertent comedy found behind his character's actions, such as a moment where he uses Swank's toothbrush when she's not home. The sentiment is certainly creepy, but the action is goofy. The biggest problem, however, is the structure, which gives away way too much at the end of the first act. This allows Morgan a chance to shine as an actor, but makes for a depressingly dull middle act, which leads to a climatic showdown that is well made enough to have deserved a better build up. First time feature film director Antti Jokinen has enough style in his back pocket to make up for some of the script problems, but ultimately it's not enough to overcome the lack of substance.
Despite it's modest budget and aspirations, The Resident has one huge thing in its production value corner – cinematographer Guillermo Navarro. This project doesn't quite compare Navarro's work with Guillermo del Toro, but for what basically amounts to an STV horror flick you could certainly do a lot worse. Navarro plays with high contrasts, pinpointed highlights, and an aggressive palette. The transfer is at its best when it comes to discernable details masked in total darkness, and the purity of the more vibrant hues. Almost every colour element pops sharply against the deep blacks, or, barring utter darkness, contrasting colour elements. These aggressive colour elements feature no noticeable blocking effects, even the brightest reds, and other digital artefacts are extremely rare. Film grain is a constant, but consistent element, and adds effective texture to the proceedings.
This DTS-HD Master Audio track also ups the production values with aggressive, spooky surround effects. The sound design isn't what anyone would mistake for original, but it does the whole 'hyper stylized loud bangs' thing a lot better than most films of its type. Aural contrast is impressive, leading to some effectively shattering noises that don't feature any noticeable high end distortion. The majority of foley and source sound effects are centered, but there are some nicely executed surround and stereo effects that create a decent aural scope, especially to the final 20 or so minutes. Most of the directional work is either abstract noise (I noticed quite a bit of whale song) or obvious musical score.
The only extras here are a standard definition trailer and a couple of trailers for other Image releases.
The Resident would've probably worked better as a short subject, perhaps an episode of Tales From the Crypt or one part of a horror anthology, but as a feature film it only endures because of a strong performance on the part of Jeffery Dean Morgan, and some impressive cinematographer from Guillermo Navarro. Christopher Lee is also entirely wasted. I recommend everyone but Morgan's biggest fans skip this one in favour of David Schmoeller's Crawlspace – a super sleazy Klaus Kinski vehicle that takes basically the exact same story and makes it entertaining by way of remorseless sex and violence. It's on the Netflix instant streaming as of this writing. This Blu-ray looks pretty great, and sounds impressive enough, but features no extras outside of a trailer.

I had no idea that Guillermo Navarro was involved with this!

Movies are infinitely more watchable when they star Kinski. I'll take you up on that Crawlspace recommendation when I'm in the mood for something like this.

Okay, movies like this and "The Ward" are just laughable. Yes, we've all seen the cliched films been done to death, but those two take themselves so seriously and so unaware, that it just brings a chucks or two. And also, Hilary Swank has done some really awful movies lately ("The Reaping", "P.S. I love you", "Amelia".

WASHINGTON -- The outline of a compromise over upcoming federal tax hikes and spending cuts began to come into focus Friday after President Obama convened congressional leaders at the White House.
Differences remain, especially as Republicans, led in the House by Speaker John A. Boehner, continue to fight to keep tax rates low for the wealthiest Americans.
But the contours of a two-part deal are taking shape as leaders work to avert the year-end fiscal crisis -- and the gridlock that has soured voters on Washington. Economists warn that failure to deal with the so-called fiscal cliff could launch another recession.
"We have the cornerstones of being able to work something out," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, as leaders from both parties emerged from the White House. "This is not something we're going to wait until the last day of December to get done. We have a plan. We're going to move forward on it."

NEW YORK, (Reuters) – A suburban New York train derailed today, killing four people and injuring 63, including 11 critically, when all seven cars of a Metro-North train ran off the tracks on a sharp curve, officials said.
The crash happened at 7:20 a.m. (1220 GMT) about 100 yards (metres) north of Metro North's Spuyten Duyvil station in the city's Bronx borough, said Metro North spokesman Aaron Donovan. A Fire Department spokesman confirmed the number of dead and said 11 people were in critical condition, six were in serious condition with non-life threatening injuries and another 46 suffered minor injuries. The train, headed south toward Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal, was about half full at the time of the crash with about 150 passengers and was not scheduled to stop at the Spuyten Duyvil station, said the state's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), parent company of Metro North.
"On a workday, fully occupied, it would have been a tremendous disaster," New York City Fire Commissioner Salvatore Joseph Cassano told reporters at the scene. The derailment occurred in a wooded area where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet. At least one rail car was lying toppled near the water and others were lying on their sides. There was no official word yet on possible causes of the accident.
"That is a dangerous area on the track just by design," Governor Andrew Cuomo told CNN after touring the site. "The trains are going about 70 miles per hour (112 kph) coming down the straight part of the track. They slow to about 30 miles per hour (48 kph) to make that sharp curve … where the Hudson River meets the Harlem River and that is a difficult area of the track."
The National Transportation Safety Board has begun its investigation and Cuomo said it appeared that all passengers had been accounted for. Cuomo said recovery of the train's "black box" – a data-recording device similar to those on airplanes – would reveal more about the train's speed, possible mechanical issues and whether brakes were applied. Passenger Frank Tatulli told television station WABC he had been riding in the first car and that the train had been traveling "a lot faster" than usual.
"The guy was going real fast on the turns and I just didn't know why because we were making good time. And all of a sudden we derailed on the turn," he said.
Joseph Bruno, who heads the city's Office of Emergency Management, told CNN it appeared that three of the four people killed had been ejected from the train. The MTA and the fire department both said that could not immediately be confirmed. Michael Keaveney, 22, a security worker whose home overlooks the site, said he had heard a loud bang when the train derailed.
"It woke me up from my sleep," he said. "It looked like (the train) took out a lot of trees on its way over toward the water."
New York Police Department divers were seen in the water near the accident, and dozens of firefighters were helping pull people from the wreckage. None of the passengers were in the water, according to Marjorie Anders of Metro-North.
The derailment was the latest in a string of problems this year for Metro North, the second busiest U.S. commuter railroad in terms of monthly ridership. The MTA said details about how the accident would impact the morning commute on Monday were not yet available.
In July, 10 cars of a CSX freight train carrying trash derailed in the same area, Anders said. Partial service was restored four days later but full service did not return for more than a week. In May, a Metro-North passenger train struck a commuter train between Fairfield and Bridgeport, Connecticut, injuring more than 70 people and halting service on the line. The MTA said Sunday's accident marked the first customer fatality in Metro North's three-decade history and that it was a "black day" for the railroad. Amtrak said its Empire Line service between New York City and Albany was being restored after being halted immediately after the crash. Amtrak's Northeast Corridor service between Boston and Washington was not affected. Metro North's Hudson Line service has been suspended between Tarrytown and Grand Central station, and bus service is being provided between White Plains and Tarrytown, the MTA said.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital said it is treating 17 patients from the accident, including four who are in critical condition. Jacobi Medical Center, which received 13 patients from the accident, said none have critical injuries and several have already been discharged.
President Barack Obama was briefed on the accident and a White House official said the president's thoughts and prayers were with the friends and families of those involved. The train was a diesel with seven cars. The locomotive was on the north end pushing the cars southward.

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter
General thoughts on the game:
"It's not what we wanted. We expected to win as we expect to win every game. It was a good reminder that it's not just going to happen. We certainly had enough chances to score the goal to win the game. In the end, you've got to credit their goalkeeper, he made some great saves. I also felt a part of that was us maybe not being as sharp as we could've been in-and-around the final third. This is soccer. There are games when you can't find the goal and I thought that was the case today. We'll move on from it, obviously it's not a loss it's a tie and we get a point and yet we're feeling like we let two points slip away. If you don't win, you're not going to be satisfied. We're not satisfied with a point, but it's also not the end of the world. We've played nine games now and we've only been beaten one time, so that's a real positive."
On the team's missed chances:
"We had plenty of shots. We had a lot of chances. We missed a couple breakaways and there were some point blank saves. It very easily could've been a different result. We were a touch off on a few finishes and their goalkeeper made some great saves. In the end, that's soccer. You leave the game and you think you're not good enough on the attack, but in the end 22 shots is a lot on goal."
On the resiliency of the back line dealing with injuries:
"I don't know the situation yet with Mikael (Silvestre), we'll evaluate that. We've had a bit of bad luck with injuries in the back line. It's been the case where guys go in and do a great job. I'd be remiss if I didn't commend Donovan Ricketts. He made a world-class save at the end of that game to keep us level. He has been absolutely tremendous. There are going to be days when our attack digs us out of a hole. That has been the case in a few games when we've given up goals and our attacking side has bailed us out and scored goals. Tonight, I thought our defending kept us level and Donovan probably saved us in the end."
On the decision to bring on Frederic Piquionne for Ryan Johnson:
"Wanted to give him some minutes, he's been playing well. We've played a lot of the same guys in multiple games, so we felt that he could bring some energy to the game. I thought he did that. He went in and gave us some life and created quite a few chances."
Timbers captain Will Johnson
On the match:
"We played well enough to win. You get a certain amount of chances at this level and you have to put them away. I'm not as concerned about the defensive chances we gave up because we're pressing – at home you've got to win your games. That's our mindset. We're disappointed with a draw. We did enough to win the game and even though we weren't at our best you've got to find a way to get goals and grind out results and we came up short."
On New England's defense:
"No one has really taken into account that they're a pretty good road team. They come in and park the bus. They sit everybody back and try to hit you with some of their more athletic guys on the counter. It's pretty effective. It's not the first place that it has worked and it's not the last. It doesn't have as much to do with us as what they did. The way you get them out of their shape is to punish them and we let them off the hook and it makes it easy for them."
On the team's missed chances:
"It's just one of those games. You create all the chances and it's hard to say we got shut out. We shut ourselves out. We had the chances. They were there. You've got to score them and if you get that first then they come out of their shape and you get the second and the third. We'll move on. It's not the end of the world. It's a point. We've just got to keep positive and keep going."
Timbers defender Jack Jewsbury
On unlocking New England's defensive tactics:
"As the season goes on we're probably going to see that more and more, especially here at home. Teams know we're pretty dangerous going forward so if they sit back behind the ball, we've got to break lines first and foremost. We've got guys in the attacking third that are very dangerous and we've got to get them on the ball more. It's a matter of the back four and the holding midfielder to break lines and not just play around the back and play a little quicker. I thought they did a good job of frustrating us at times, but we had enough shots tonight. We created enough chances and just have to put one or two in the net and they open up a little bit."
On continuing to generate offense:
"I feel if we continue to create that many chances we'll be all right. It's just a bit frustrating after a big win in KC we wanted to keep it going. We were a little slow out of the gate, but the second half was good and we just need to finish a few chances to get out of here with three points."
Revolution Head Coach Jay Heaps
On the play of goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth
"Bobby did a nice job. It's the second game in a row he's played really well. It's not an easy environment. I think he's reading the game well. It wasn't like he was making spectacular saves, but he was making saves because of being in the right position, which is better than a spectacular save for me."
On the team's approach to the game
"We wanted to take away the middle a little bit more than last week; we didn't want to get stretched. As the games go I think we are going to get a little bit more comfortable.
On the play during the last 15 minutes of the match
"We were getting stretched some there because we still went with five guys up front with Saer [Sene] and Kelyn [Rowe] and Lee [Nguyen] getting forward. Unfortunately we didn't finish those chances and they made some breaks on us."
Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth
On the play of his team
"I think we were super organized in the back tonight; we all kept our lines, kept our shape and were able to keep a clean sheet. I think it shows the depth we have on this team. Jay [Heaps] has done a great job of creating the competition and creating depth. You can see guys are coming in and doing really well; we aren't missing a beat."
On keeping his focus during play
"I'm trying to always stay connected to the play, talking to [Stephen] McCarthy, talking to Jose [Goncalves] and just keep myself mentally in the game. If I don't see a shot for 30-35 minutes I'm still engaged in the play."
Thoughts regarding upcoming homestand
"I think this is a big stretch for us. I think we need to go home and take care of business and make it difficult for teams to play us at Gillette."
Revolution defender Bilal Duckett
On coming to Portland and getting a point
"It's one of the most exciting places to play in the country and its real important to battle and get a point like we did in Seattle earlier this season. Credit to everyone; Bobby made some great saves, the whole back line made several key stops."
On making his return to the team after being called up from the Rochester Rhinos on Tuesday
"It's been a crazy week. I couldn't be happier to be up here. It's exciting to get out here and rejoin the guys. It was a little bit tough jumping right back in but it was more exciting to play."

Whether you just bought a new car or you're simply doing an annual review of your finances, comparing car insurance rates can be a good way to assess whether you're getting the most for your money.
To start, the Insurance Information Institute (III) suggests getting at least three quotes from auto insurance providers. Each quote you get should be for the same set of coverages, limits and deductibles, so you can truly compare them side by side.
Not sure where to begin? Here's some more information on setting up an auto insurance comparison.
Auto liability coverage is required in most states. Liability coverage may help pay for car repair and medical bills of another driver if you cause an accident.
Most states set minimum liability coverage limits that drivers must purchase. You may have the option of increasing your auto liability limits — and the III suggests that's a good idea. If you cause an accident and the damage exceeds your state's minimum liability coverage limits, you could end up paying out of pocket for additional expenses.
Whether you select the state minimums or increase your coverage, make sure the limits you set for bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage are the same for every quote you compare. Bodily injury liability coverage helps cover expenses of another person's physical injury if you are found liable in an accident. Property damage liability coverage helps pay for damages you may cause to another person's property.
When you drive with quality coverage, you drive with peace of mind. Allstate auto insurance can help you stay protected for wherever the road takes you.
Some car insurance coverages, such as collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, typically come with a deductible that you may be able to adjust. A deductible is the amount you'll pay out of pocket toward a covered claim. Increasing your deductible may lower your car insurance premiums, says the III. However, a higher deductible means you'll pay more out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in after a covered loss.
When you are comparing car insurance rates, the deductibles you choose should be the same for each quote so you can make an accurate comparison.
While liability coverage is required in most states, other coverage requirements vary from state to state. Some coverages may even be optional. You may want to familiarize yourself with your state's specific car insurance requirements. To accurately compare car insurances rates, make sure you've selected the same set of required and optional coverages for each quote you get.
Required in some states:
Typically optional:
If you need help understanding your car insurance quote or deciding on which coverages best suit your needs, talk to a local agent.

"Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" will be at the top of the box office food chain for the second consecutive weekend, beating out two new star-studded arrivals.
DreamWorks Animation's 3-D sequel is expected to gross at least $30 million this weekend, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. That would bring the picture's worldwide total to well over $200 million after just 10 days in release.
Last weekend's runner-up, "Prometheus," will likely end up in the same position again, though it could find itself in a tight race with newcomer "Rock of Ages." The musical, which stars an ensemble cast including Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Catherine Zeta-Jones, will probably debut with around $23 million. That should be enough to edge out Adam Sandler's new R-rated comedy, "That's My Boy," which is projected to open with roughly $20 million.
"Rock of Ages," directed by Adam Shankman, is based on a Broadway musical of the same name, and films based on popular stage productions have had a mixed track record at the box office in recent years. The biggest success story was 2008's "Mamma Mia!," which featured the music of ABBA, starred Meryl Streep and racked up $609.8 million in worldwide ticket sales.
The 2007 movie version of "Hairspray," also directed by Shankman, performed well with a global sum of $202.5 million. But a 2007 big-screen adaptation of "Sweeney Todd," starring Johnny Depp, disappointed at the box office, and 2009's "Nine" tanked altogether.
While "Rock of Ages" has so far earned only middling reviews, most critics have responded positively to Cruise's portrayal of a debaucherous '80s rock 'n' roll star with a penchant for booze and women.
Cruise has primarily appeared in action films during the last decade, though his comic cameo as an overweight studio executive in 2008's "Tropic Thunder" was the first sign that the actor could also excel in a lighter role.
Not surprisingly, pre-release research shows that "Rock of Ages" is so far appealing mostly to older females, but has struggled to gain traction with men. It cost Warner Bros.' New Line label $75 million to produce.
That's slightly more than Sony Pictures spent to make "That's My Boy," which cost roughly $70 million to make. The movie has a reliable box-office draw in Sandler, the majority of whom's PG-13 rated comedies gross over $100 million in the U.S. and a similar amount overseas. His last film, 2011's critically panned cross-dressing themed "Jack and Jill," was one of his first broad comedies not to reach the $100-million milestone in America.
"That's My Boy" stars Sandler as a former deadbeat dad who is trying to rekindle a relationship with his son, played by former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Andy Samberg. It remains to be seen how audiences will respond to Sandler's return to a raunchy comedy.
Though the actor began his career with cruder movies like "Billy Madison" and "The Waterboy," Sandler has transitioned to more family-oriented fare in recent years. In fact, he has only appeared in three R-rated comedies during his career, the most successful of which -- Judd Apatow's 2009 flick "Funny People" -- flopped with only $51.8 million domestically.
In limited release, IFC is opening the romantic comedy "Your Sister's Sister" in 11 theaters, two of which are in Los Angeles. The movie, which stars Emily Blunt and Rosemarie Dewitt as two siblings caught in a love triangle, has so far received a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Stale-looking 'That's My Boy' is a raunchy risk for Adam Sandler

Home Grown Only: Beautiful Flowers You Might Just Have To Grow Yourself
Flower shops and farmers markets are overwhelming with blossoms this time of year, but there are always a few flowers that are impossible to find. Whether their lifespan is too short, or their too fragile to ship, or they're just not popular enough, certain flowers simply have to be homegrown.
- The other day Sarah Ryhanen of Saipua presented the lovely corn poppy, proudly grown on her new flower farm. Now, I adore poppies- as I've mentioned here & here and probably a few other times- so a whole new poppy is very exciting. However, I doubt I'll be finding it at a flower shop anytime soon. As Sarah writes, "This is a dream flower, one which you have to grow yourself. They are far to fragile to ship, and probably have a vase life of one day." But what a day!
- Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia, formerly known as Datura) is another favorite that I've never once seen for sale as cut stems. They don't have great stems, I'll admit, which might be part of the problem. But they have an intoxicating scent, and their beauty makes me want to gaze & gaze (as you can see in this Ron van Dongen photo featured on Glitz Bliss, so it would be wonderful to have a vase of them.
- Hellebores are wild, dainty things that come in fascinating shades of chartreuse, salmon, and near-black. I have never once seen them for sale, but if I did I would buy them all. Depending on the price, of course.This perfect little arrangement was created by Flirty Fleurs
- Clematis is best known for its glorious vine-ness, an exuberant tangle of blossoms and tendrils and tiny tumbleweeds. We once had a bunch of it in the flower shop where I work- just once- and I couldn't believe how amazing it was in a vase. The vines hold their shape so well, so with very little effort you can create an arrangement with great structure and liveliness. Flirty Fleurs also made this beautiful clematis arrangement with stems that had most of the leaves and blossoms removed to create long stems, but if you grow your own I recommend only stripping the portion of the vine that will be submerged.
What favorite flowers are impossible for you to find for sale? Have you started growing your own? The flowers above are all on my Someday Dream Garden Wish List, for sure. And if you have seen any of the ones above for sale, please let me know where!

Today's discussion of Sansa Stark raised some good questions about why certain characters are or aren't hated, and how much that hate is actually warranted. Which character do you think gets way too much hate and grief from people? To start the Open Channel, let's take a look at the proto-Sansa — Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Dawn was added in BtVS season 5 more as a plot device than an actual character, so the odds were stacked against her anyways. In season 6, the writers couldn't think of anything good for her to do, so they let her be who she was: A regular teen surrounded by mostly super-powered people who had far more important things to do than pay attention to her, no parents to speak of, and no one watching her (and no decent storyarcs to work with). So she did what any teen would likely do in that situation — dumb shit and/or stealing things — because teenagers are horrible and insane.
Sure, Dawn wasn't likable, but I also don't know that she warranted the hate she received. I mean, Buffy was also behaving pretty horribly in season 6, and Willow even turned into the season's villain, but it's Dawn who gets all the scorn.
So who do you think is getting a bad rap? Let us know in the comments. I'm sure you guys will be quick to attack or defend various characters, which is cool, but please try to keep it civil, okay? Everybody loves somebody, after all. Even Dawn.


text: Hi folks, i´ve recently got a problem following this howto. When it comes to the step to activate the quota, my system says: in english it should be like: "no fitting process found. quotaformat not supported by the kernel" Here is my setup: I try to do the howto in a DomU (KVM not Xen) on a freshly installed ubuntu 11.10 then immediately updated to 12.04 LTS and then run the old 11.10 howto. Altough some points were added like the mailman and stuff, the 12.04 howto is mostly the same, so i thought i´d ask my quesion here

Higher Education Fever Hits Gulf States
A common saying in the Arab world goes: "Seek knowledge, even as far as China!" Yet if everything goes the way Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah wishes, seekers of knowledge in his kingdom will not have to travel quite as far in future.
Close to Jeddah, less than 100 kilometres away from Mecca, a new university has now opened its doors. The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, KAUST for short, aims to become one of the best in the world.
King Abdullah has invested 12.5 billion dollars in KAUST. The campus is 36 square kilometres in size and equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, providing workplaces for outstanding research and teaching staff from around the world.
Modelled on MIT
Two thirds of the 2000 places at the university will also go to foreign graduate students. KAUST intends to join the ranks of the world's leading research universities, its role model being the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The university has certainly gained a number of big names as partner institutions: Berkeley, Cambridge, Stanford, Imperial College London and Germany's Munich Technical University. These universities are receiving seven-figure sums to forward their research projects at KAUST, focusing on the bio and nano-sciences, energy technology, materials science and IT.
The Munich university is getting 21 million dollars for three projects. One of these is a three-dimensional imaging project for Saudi Arabia, depicting not only the country's surface but also the geological structures below ground.
KAUST is driving up Saudi Arabia's higher education fever, a common phenomenon in the Gulf states in recent years. The sheikhs have realised that the end of the oil period is nigh, and are looking for alternatives to secure the future of their principalities.
Knowledge as raw material
Tomorrow's raw material is knowledge, and the sciences and technology are in great demand. Because time is of the essence but the quality has to be high, expertise is bought in – mainly from the West.
The universities are happy to come, especially from the USA, Australia and Britain. The Gulf region is a growth market, and the aim is to stake a claim early on. Education is becoming an export leader. Qatar, for instance, has built a huge Education City, where several different American universities are offering courses. The Sorbonne has founded a subsidiary in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, while Dubai's ruler hopes to push research by means of a billion-dollar foundation.
And now Saudi Arabia is taking its first steps towards the knowledge society. The theocracy is a country where a great deal to do with free thinking is simply banned. A country at the very bottom of the academic rankings with one of the world's worst educational systems. Where religious scholars and the religious police have the say. Can this new direction ever work?
KAUST is intended to stand for liberalism. The university has been erected quasi on ex-territorial ground, and is meant to be able to act independently of the Saudi ministries. Women and men are meant to study and research together, with women even allowed to drive cars – perhaps a small matter in scientific terms but with great symbolic value for Saudi Arabia. KAUST will change society, Saudi dignitaries promised when the foundation stone was laid in 2007.
New example of Saudi megalomania?
Critics, including in the Arab world, have labelled the project a new example of the usual Saudi megalomania, which would lead to little in the end.
Yet there is one sign that the promises of internationalisation are more than mere lip service – the man appointed president. He is Choon Fong Shih, a Harvard-trained engineer and until recently head of the University of Singapore. And another indication that Saudi Arabia really means business is the fact that the state oil company Aramco was commissioned with building the university, rather than the less efficient higher education ministry.
It remains to be seen how far the King Abdullah University can really reach out of the ivory tower to influence Saudi society. And whether it is a model that meets the country's needs: have the authorities thought to interlock it with the Saudi economy and business world? What opportunities will Saudi graduates have to employ what they learn there in their own country?
King Abdullah is aiming to transform Saudi Arabia, not just in the educational sector. But the king is 85 years old, and the reform projects are very closely tied to him personally. The Saudi desert will be the site of an interesting experiment in the years to come.

Education in the Gulf
Knowledge instead of Oil
The Arab Gulf states have discovered education as the raw material of the future. In order to quickly move ahead, they are importing universities from the west. There is still room for many more students – even those from abroad. A report by Arnfrid Schenk
Women in Oman
"We Are Better!"
In 1970, when Sultan Qaboos came to power, Oman had only two schools, not one of them for girls. Today, the country's public university protects itself from the female onslaught with a men's quota. Charlotte Wiedemann reports
Interview with the Saudi Reformer Taufiq Al-Seif
"Everyone Is Waiting for Political and Social Reforms"
The Saudi politician and controversial author Taufiq Al-Seif considers that domestic and foreign support for the new Saudi king, as well as a favourable economic and social situation, mean that conditions are right for the renewal of the country's political and social system.

This is a repository of notes about the design of the Loot Divider.
Macros/VBA: I have attempted to use as little Macros/VBA as possible in the LD. Currently, macros are used in 3 areas: The 'Clear' button on some of the sheets, and the 'Copy this Item to the Treasure!' button on the item Builder sheet. Since these are only optional things, you can very well work the LD while macros are disabled! The Players' Loot sheet is the third place where Macros are used: They are necessary to provide the automation required to 'fetch' the value of an item added in this sheet. If you do not have access to Macros, you can still use this sheet, or use the Item Tracker instead, which has similar functionality!
Mithral objects: Since a Mithral dagger is half a pound and would cost only 252GP if made out of Mithral (for a masterwork weapon that should be 302gp!!), I set the minimum weight of Mithral objects to 1 pound.
Darkleaf Cloth: The description for this material specifies that 'clothing' has a fixed price of 500gp, while other fear is priced at 375gp/lb. Since the Loot Divider has no concept of 'clothing', all items will be priced at 375gp/lb UNLESS the item contains either the 'vestment' word, of the 'outfit' word!
Designer's Notes
The Loot Divider allows you to track treasure for your group; You can split treasure amongst players and even see who is holding which magical items. You can also quickly determine the price of magical weapons, armors and shields by using the Item Builder!
This section of the forum is for users of the Loot Divider!

Thanks for kiting on that day, it was great to see you everyone!

Frida Adler
Born: September 14, 1926
Selo-Solotvina, Czechoslovakia
Frida was the eldest of three daughters born to Jewish parents in a village in the easternmost province of Czechoslovakia. When Frida was 2, her parents moved to Liege, Belgium, a largely Catholic industrial city with many immigrants from eastern Europe. Frida attended Belgian public schools and grew up speaking French.
1933-39: In Liege we lived in an apartment above a cafe and across the street from a Catholic church. I had many Catholic girlfriends at school. At home I spoke Yiddish to my parents, but when they didn't want me to understand their conversation, they spoke Hungarian to each other. My religious mother made sure that I also studied Hebrew.
1940-44: I was 13 when the Germans occupied Liege. Two years later, because we were Jewish, our family was ordered to register and my sisters and I were forced out of school. Some Catholic friends helped our family obtain false papers and rented us a house in a nearby village. Then, as Fernande Albert, I was sent back to Liege to work as a maid. Every other weekend I bicycled back to the village to visit my family. On the first weekend of March 1944 I got a message, "Don't come." The Gestapo had arrested my family.
Frida was in Brussels, Belgium, when it was liberated by British and Canadian troops in early September 1944. She immigrated to the United States in May 1946.

Want more booth photos? Yes? I hope so, because I have plenty more to share with you today as we check out the offerings of American Crafts, Webster's Pages, and Fancy Pants.
Design powerhouse American Crafts had a massive booth, and introduced several new lines at CHA Summer 2011.
Their popular line of albums got a refresh with some new designs added in with the old standbys.
Popular fashion designer and scrapbooker to the stars Amy Tan made a huge splash with her new signature line called "Amy Tangerine", generating lots of buzz both on and off the show floor.
I love all the Thickers in her new lines, especially these with faux stitching drawn around the edges – so cute!
American Crafts is known for certain signature embellishments (such as Thickers), and their Mixtapes are fast becoming one of those staples. The "Amy Tangerine" line features several new styles and patterns of this washi-style tape.
Amy's line is also bursting with extras such as clear stamps, ephemera, and letter stickers.
American Crafts' "Daydreams" line is a fun, feminine collection that sports a bright color palette and funky bold designs.
The Thickers in this line are smaller than the normal letters that American Crafts produces, making this lover of tiny alpha stickers very happy indeed!
"Night Fall" is American Crafts Halloween/Fall offering. There are only a few strictly Halloween themed papers in this line, and even those sheets have "B" sides that are neutral enough to use for general fall pages.
"Hollyday" puts American Crafts' signature graphic spin on a red, green, and silver color palette. Clean lines and mod designs make this a fun and cheerful collection!
These candy cane striped Thickers are simply genius!!
American Crafts also offers Christmas patterns in their popular Pow! glitter paper, famous for sparkly stuff that never flakes off.
The "Garden Cafe" line, with its punchy flowers offset by deep browns, has a funky retro vibe about it.
"Margarita" was American Crafts' mid-season summer themed release and features all the bright, vibrant colors associated with the season.
Webster's Pages is known for their elegant designs both on paper and in their embellishments.
The "Western Romance" line features a soft country look filled with feminine touches such as painted cowgirl boots and flower covered mailboxes.
Webster's Pages is also known for innovative embellishments like these delicate feather flowers.
The brightly colored "Let's Celebrate" line would be perfect for scrapping birthdays.
Webster's Pages' "All About Me" line features a pleasing color palette that will "play" well with many different types of photos and layout subjects. With its mix of pleasing patterns and gorgeous illustrations of every day (and some not so every day) objects, I could see this being a great candidate for use in a "Week in the Life" album.
Webster's introduced not one, but two Christmas lines at this CHA show! "Winter Fairy Tales" is filled with fanciful scenes and a soft color palette, while "Botanical Christmas" features bolder colors and a more traditional Christmas theme.
Let's round out this portion of our CHA Summer 2011 tour by stopping in at the Fancy Pants booth!
Fancy Pants' new lines featured some of the most creative color combinations that I saw anywhere at the show. For instance their Christmas line, "Saint Nick", has a mostly traditional color palette but adds a light shade of purple to just a few prints for added contrast and interest.
Their fall line, "Summer's End", has the oranges and browns that you'd expect from a seasonal fall line but also includes a punchy shade of blue-green for an unexpected twist.
And "Oct. 31st", Fancy Pants' Halloween line? It includes a bit of bright blue amongst the orange and purple! Not to mention all the lush damask prints scattered throughout.
This piece of paper was my absolute favorite of the whole booth – it totally appealed to the geeky engineer in me!
Fancy Pants was also one of the few companies offering a strictly "back-to-school" line. "Off to School" has been getting a lot of buzz on the blogs lately, and I predict that it will be a big seller this fall.
Fancy Pants' Brag Books were actually released at the Winter CHA show, but with the huge success of EK Success's Smash books they were smart to bring them back to the summer show. Fancy Pants' version of the blank journal trend is less decorative than the EK Success version, giving the scrapper full creative control over the final look of their project.
Have you all been making your post-CHA shopping lists as you read these booth tour posts? I know I've been making mine as I write them! Don't finalize that list just yet, though, because there's so much more to come!

In the past, Karen Koslowitz has supported tax incentives for seniors. Ideas like this are again in her sights.
"Seniors are just as important a focus as they were before (she left office in 2001)," says Koslowitz.
Citymeals on Wheels (Meals on Wheels, as we commonly refer to it) is the service that provides meals to the home-bound elderly. The program sometimes delivers frozen meals for seniors for them to then heat up. According to Koslowitz, the problem with this is that although you cut down the amount of person hours it takes to deliver these meals (figure they can drop off five frozen meals in one day), you then lose the personal contact between the elderly person and the delivery people.
"That personal contact is important because it might be the only contact many of the seniors have," Koslowitz explains. "You need an everyday service as a means to check up on them and deliver hot meals at the same time."
Add to that the fact that many seniors may not be in condition to heat meals up. The rate of drop-off for some people as they get older can happen fast. Recently I noticed this with my grandmother. In a matter of months, she slowed down dramatically. Now, I need to check in with her every day and get her dishes clean and see that she takes her medicine. This is not the job of a Meals on Wheels program, but human contact helps.
Asked if she would support some kind of legislation that might provide a cap on rates that senior citizens pay for public transportation, Koslowitz said that she would support something in that range if it came up in the council.
Transportation for outer-borough elderly residents is always an issue. We live too close to the city for convenient parking and too far from it to make public transportation easy. Koslowitz feels that Access-A-Ride, the program that helps people with disabilities get to adequate transportation, is not always meeting its goals.
"They changed Access-A-Ride this year," says Koslowitz. "They now skip stops on some busses. In Sunnyside, they actually skip the stop that is in front of the senior center. What do you do in the wintertime?"
Issues like this will be front and center in the next few decades. The population is getting older and public policy will have to follow that trend.
Familiar 'Strategery'
It is easy to second guess Washington when you are not in Washington. The president was asked last week what grade he would have given himself for his first year in office and he gave himself a B-plus.
"A good, solid B-plus," he said to Oprah Winfrey.
These are the sometimes small, but really unanswerable questions a leader gets. You might remember Ted Kennedy being asked by Roger Mudd why he wanted to be president. He had no set answer. Today all candidates have a packaged response for that, which may seem less genuine but certainly causes less embarrassment.
The president giving himself a B-plus is somewhat understandable. To him, he has been working non-stop since he got there, but all presidents put in those hours. What is interesting is that the president is a former law professor at the University of Chicago. That is a tough program. What kind of grader was Professor Obama? (Any graduates of U of C Law School at that time, please let us know.)
At least he gave an answer. Most of the press corps (usually his allies) thought this was a funny answer. He could have ducked and used one of his catch phrases by saying the question is "above his pay-grade."
But he gave an answer, and he didn't particularly care what the media fallout would be. A tip of the hat to his predecessor perhaps?

New rider with seeking some advice
Postby bobbartley » Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:40 pm
I am like many other new riders, about to hit 40 and decided that cycling might be the new fitness and pleasure pursuit. As I am a newbie, I am also very conscious of budget vs performance vs this is a phase I am going through!
So with that in mind I have narrowed my choice down to two bikes:
2013 Verite Team S Carbon Road Bike with mostly 105 components for $1199 (weight 7.8kg) Alex R450 wheelset
2013 Reid Falco Elite Alloy body and carbon forks with Mavic Aksium Wheels and full 105 groupset $1069 (weight 8.78kgs)
One of my main concerns are the tyres. Where I ride I have been told the roads are a little unforgiving therefore wheels are important. So the trade off is a carbon frame with not full 105 and inferior wheels for more money or the alloy frame with better components and more durable wheels (at least that is what i have concluded from my research).
I am looking for some objective advice (if possible) for a new rider that hopes to get on my bike three times a week.
Appreciative of any suggestions offered.

The Al frame and better wheels would probably end up being better value, but the best bike is the one that fits you the best and you like to ride. So if you can, try them both.

Get the best frame you can afford and if it has at least 105 groupset then you'll have something reasonable.

I have no affiliation with Jacks. I purchased a set of Pro-Lite Como's, one of their "training level" wheel sets and they are fantastic. We have some pretty rough roads and paths where we ride.

The bikes you talk about are sort of the ass about approach to building a good bike. They get a cheaply made frameset, which is the most important part, and then tack on some high quality components. This makes them look like great value compared to more expensive brand names, but for the most part the ride experience is going to be better on a known brand with cheaper components. The brand names build frames for the worlds best, and that R & D makes it all the way down to the lowend bikes. To highlight this, a Specialized Roubaix S Works can cost up to $8500. Quite a few models down, the Roubaix Tiagra is the same frame design, just using cheaper carbon, and can be had for $1799. The Secteur Tiagra is an alloy version of the same design, and can be had for under $1000. Reid builds cheap bikes, and it's top end frame can be had for $669. It's just two very different playing fields.
You also need to consider a bike shop will help fit you to a bike properly, and that brand names often offer choices for different riding styles (search bike geometry). Specialized again has an aggressive seating bike range Tarmac and the more relaxed riding style Roubaix. Most quality brands will offer choices in this, and a bike shop will help fit you properly which is very important.
Finally, I hacked around a little on bikeexchange.com.au and found a couple of spots I'd call milestones in the lower end. Firstly, search road bikes on there, and put in tiagra into search terms. Filter by brands like Cannondale, Giant, Scott, Specialized, Trek, etc and have a look at some of those bikes. They should all be excellent bikes, and a $1K budget will get you a nice alloy frame with a nice groupset. The next search I did was for Ultegra, using the same brand filters. About $2500 (and under) gets you a very nice carbon frame with Ultegra groupset. If it were me, I'd keep using what you had until you could afford the $2500 budget. Buy some 105 pedals ($46 from Wiggle) and SPD SL shoes (cheap ones start around $60, ie Shimano R077), and learn clipless pedals on a cheap bike, then do the upgrade and put those pedals on the nice bike. If you aren't me, you have a tonne of self control and wouldn't be tempted to upgrade again in 3/6/12 months, stick with the $1K budget and get what we be a very nice bike, and worthy of keeping for years.

Unfortunately, I don't have any bike at the moment and I want to make sure I don't over spend on my entry to road biking...
But thanks a lot for the advice.

I bought my bike 4 and a half years ago on ebay for just over $200. I did about 10000kms on it, then bought a newey, and another one last year.
I do see the advantage in the reid. free servicing for 12 months by memory. but after that time you'd either love or hate cycling and can then invest money in something more to your liking.

This risk with these is that if they don't function and perform well, you'll become demotivated and it won't be long before the bike is gathering dust at the back of the garage.
On the other hand a bike which functions smoothly and rides sweetly can be very motivating.
I'd be looking at recognized brands with a minimum 105 spec, preferably carbon.
Most importantly endure that you get properly fitted, not just a stand over the top tube effort.
And don't overlook the proper rider gear too.

Also, if your funds permit, consider raising your budget to $2K. This will get you an awesome bike that will help you want to ride.
It also won't cost you any more if you end up deciding that cycling is not for you. Resale value is pretty good on lightly-used name-brand bikes. If you give up and sell within a year, you likely stand to be down about $500 whether you start with the $1k cheapie or the $2k name-brand bike.

Having established that a FEX is not a switch, let's take a look at the process of installing a new FEX and bringing it online.
1. Rack the FEX. The official Cisco documentation demonstrates racking a FEX in a four-post rack, using the supplied rack ears and rail slides. I have successfully racked FEXs in open two-post racks using only the rack ears. If you choose to do this, be sure to mount the ears further back along the chassis for better weight balance. However you mount the FEX, provide enough clearance for the fiber uplink cables, as they stick out of the front of the chassis. Tight tolerances could prevent the rack door from shutting.
Do not power on the FEX until all cabling and uplink port provisioning on the uplinked 5K or 7K has been completed.
2. Install & cable the uplinks. When uplinking to Nexus 5Ks, one topology option is to dual-home the physical Fabric Extender. Dual-homing a FEX provides path redundancy, but cuts in half the total number of Fabric Extenders you can deploy. A Nexus 5K supports 24 total connected FEX devices, meaning that two 5Ks could support 48 total single-homed physical FEX. When dual-homing, only 24 total FEX are supported between the two 5Ks.
If you choose to single-home the FEX, you lose uplink path redundancy for single-attached hosts. If single-attached hosts are not a concern, a common scenario is to deploy two FEX to ToR, each single-homed to a Nexus 5K or 7K. Multiattached servers then spread their uplinks across the two ToR FEX devices, and in that way enjoy uplink path redundancy. As of this writing, only Nexus 5Ks support dual-homing of FEX.
If you choose to dual-home the FEX, the uplink ports you select must match on both 5K-1 and 5K-2. For example, if you chose Eth1/1 on 5K-1, you must also use Eth1/1 on 5K-2. Another wise design choice is to spread your uplinks over multiple 5500 ASICs (the silicon inside the switch responsible for forwarding traffic). In the Nexus 5500s, ASICs are mapped to groups of 8 consecutive Ethernet ports on the front to the switch, 1-8, 9-16, etc. Therefore, spreading FEX uplinks over ports 1 and 9 is smarter than 1 and 2. If the ASIC servicing ports 1-8 fails, you won't lose both FEX uplinks.
Although options vary by model, FEX can be uplinked with a variety of media. When ordering, be aware of Cisco SKUs that bundle the FEX with uplink media, such as Fabric Extender Transceivers (FETs) or Twinax. Each option has a different price and distance constraint, so research this carefully to be sure you meet your installation's requirements.
Another consideration is the number of uplinks to use. For example, a 2248TP FEX has 48 10/100/1000 access ports and four 10-Gbps uplink ports. If uplinking all four 10G ports, the oversubscription ratio of access to uplink ports is 1.2:1--very low. At the same time, you've used up four expensive 10G ports on the Nexus switch on the other end. Do your traffic patterns warrant using all four uplink ports, or can you get by with just two? Note that from a technical standpoint, the FEX will function correctly with only a single working uplink, but a sensible design uses at least two in a production environment.
The remainder of this example assumes a dual-homed FEX using all four uplinks, connected to a Nexus 5500 pair configured in a virtual port-channel domain.
3. Configure a virtual port-channel and add physical interfaces. Two of the FEX uplinks will homed to one 5K, and two to the other 5K. Then, all four of the FEX uplinks will be combined into a single virtual port channel. Each FEX is assigned a number from 100-199.
The physical interface requires two specific commands to tell the hosting 5K that the interface is servicing a FEX. The command "switchport mode fex-fabric" lets the Nexus switch know that the device on the other end of the link is fabric extender. Note that if you use FETs as uplink media, the switch can't use these optical modules until this command is in place.
The command "fex associate
4. Apply the code below to both 5Ks. Once this step is complete, you can optionally prepare your console session to watch the messages that will scroll as the FEX comes up for the first time by typing "term mon".

How To Paint Trim
Painting accents and trim is an easy way to bring fresh style to your home. Everyone can paint, too - it's one of the few home improvements that anyone can DIY. Don't be daunted by trim. Glidden® paint has made it their mission to help us turn inspiration into action, making it fun and simple to add color to our lives by showing us how to get rolling with a series of how-to videos. Watch the video below to learn how to paint like a pro.
- First remove dust from your trim with a vacuum or cloth. If your trim is dirty, use a highly diluted solution of dishwashing liquid to clean it. Then let it dry.
- Apply painters tape to the walls and floor or ceiling bordering the trim.
- Now you're ready to paint. Paint with the grain of the wood using short strokes to coat the surface. Then use longer, smoother strokes for an even, finished surface.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lolabunnie from Gorgeous! Quality! Chicas, these heels are amazing! As soon as I saw them, I knew I couldn't let them slip through my fingers - or I would regret it. The light pink color is beautiful. It's a little darker than in the picture - truly a dusty rose - but it's pretty :# While I LOVE the black ones, I'm sure all of us have plenty of black heels, and the pink makes these a bit more classy and definitely more unique. The suede is so soft and quality, and the studs seem to be securely fastened to the shoe. I've only worn them once #just got them), and they did slip a little bit and started to rub on my heel, but this could be because I have an extremely narrow foot. Though some may think they are too high to walk in, platforms make it so easy to walk in these, and they are actually way more comfortable than those tiny heels! Girls, these stems are rockin' and sexy!!!!!!!! Really a great price for this quality shoe!!!!!!!

I saw these the day that they were added online and I knew that they were made for my feet, when I got them and tried them on they are very sexy on, I typically wear a 7 1/2 and this style does not come in half sizes so that posed a problem and they are very, very very heavy. Although I will have to buy some shoe inserts to wear these they are worth keeping. SUPER DIVA SEXY SHOES!!!!

Judy Martin was shattered a few years ago when she lost her full-time job to recessionary headwinds.
Judy Martin was shattered a few years ago when she lost her full-time job to recessionary headwinds.
Martin, 59, a wife, mother and grandmother, found employment opportunities out in the local job market few and far between.
She decided to pick up the pieces and began reinventing herself as an entrepreneur with a concept based on one of her favorite artistic outlets — glass fusing.
Martin recently launched her venture, Artistic Glass Fusions, from her home studio at 1185 Little Mountain Road in Wellford.
"It's pretty cool," Martin said. "My husband keeps saying 'you're an artist.' I just can't get that into my head. I just do it because I like it … There's no right and there's no wrong to it. I want to sell what I make so I can make more."
Martin moved to Spartanburg from New York with her husband, Kevin Martin, in 2006. He worked for Bomag and she worked for Camping World off I-26 as a service advisor. They were both laid off in 2008 as their companies decided to make cutbacks.
She became interested in working with glass after taking a stained glass class with her sister-in-law at Greenville Community College a year earlier. She later started making fused glass.
Martin said she was interested in art in high school, but a guidance counselor told her she needed to focus on other things.
Her first studio was in the couple's home. But she needed more space and her husband finished off the 1.5-car garage behind the house where Martin could have some more elbow room and work year-round.
She cuts sheets of glass into strips and melts the pieces in a small kiln that she purchased. From there, she can make just about anything from jewelry and dishes to lamp shades and pieces of art. Her prices start at about $10.
Recently, Martin said she made orange and purple candle votives for a couple that wanted a Clemson-themed wedding. With college football season starting, she has been making jewelry that captures the colors for both Clemson and the University of South Carolina.
Martin's work is currently for sale at WestGate Mall and the east-side Art Lounge. She will also have her products on display at the upcoming harvest festival in Lyman.
The owner said she hopes to attend more shows and will be teaching classes to local students and other area residents.
"Glass just speaks to you," Martin said. "I like it. I like working with my hands."
