text: Her Bright Skies have developed a distinctly modern sound, with piercing melodies, emotive vocals and an ever-rising tidal wave of fans - all on their own terms. "Causing A Scene" displays a band which has purified its sacred mission to carry your ass into a world where music is first and foremost a party – not psychoanalysis. With both feet firmly entrenched in the American tradition of melodic punk, pop and metal, Her Bright Skies have developed a way to lift themselves out of small town boredom all the while creating their own niche: energetic rock conveyed with a touch of that indefinable, Nordic sound. The cockiness and the musical language is American, but the accent is perfectly Swedish.

This article, entitled "Suicide Isn't Selfish," comes from partner site Fat Fighter TV.
When I heard Robin Williams had killed himself, I was overwhelmed with emotions. Sadness because I've adored this talented genius since I was a kid. Shock because I had no idea he had severe depression. Anger because all over social media, people were saying he was selfish for committing suicide.
It made me realize how depression is still so misunderstood. And it made me want to speak out now more than ever. I've struggled with this debilitating disease my entire life. Every day is a fight. Every. Single. Day.
Depression feels like you're in a deep dark hole where you can barely breathe. No matter how hard you try, you can't climb out of it, and you keep slipping down. You feel weak. You feel like your mind is beating you up. You feel like you're suffocating. It feels lonely. It feels hopeless. It hurts.
This isn't just someone having a bad day or a bad week. When you have depression, the feelings do not go away. They linger and make it hard to function. When you're deep in that dark depression hole, it is impossible to think clearly. And it can feel like it's not possible to go on living. Suicide may seem like the only way to stop the pain. Not because you're selfish, but because you are not yourself. You have a serious illness. You have a brain disorder. You are sick.
When I heard about Williams' tragic death, I felt in the pit of my gut that it could've been me. If I hadn't gotten help. If my treatment didn't work. For the past two and a half years, I have been in therapy, fighting to crawl out of that dark hole. To find air. To survive. There were many times when I thought things would never change. That this was just how it was going to be forever. I didn't know how much I could take.
It's been a long and hard struggle and I am finally feeling okay; sometimes, even pretty good. But I could not have gotten this far without help. So please, if you have depression, know you are not alone. Ask for help. And if you know people who may be depressed, reach out to them because they may be too weak or too proud to come to you. Encourage them to get help. Know the signs.
Symptoms of depression include:
- Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
- Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Irritability, restlessness
- Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
- Fatigue and decreased energy
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
- Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
- Overeating, or appetite loss
- Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
You can get much more information about depression here.
The earlier you start treatment, the more effective it is. I'm making it through this fight. You can too.

I'm listening to Rings Around The World for the very first time.
I've listened to every other super furry's album absolutely loads except this.
Turns out... it's fucking marvellous!
It's my favourite SFA record
I love love love it.
indeed it is
run! christian, run! makes me very happy.
Best song on the album?
I'm going to say Receptacle for the respectable.
Probably my favourite too
not sure why it doesn't get quite the same attention as their earlier albums.
excellent record
arguably their best, although half of their fans won't agree with me.
a work of genius
My favourite
disregarded by some because it's accessible.
Their best record
And that's saying something considering how good they've been since the beginning.
One of the best albums of this decade no less.
yeah i like it i like it i like it i like it
i li li li like it li li li like it
ooooooooooooh ooooooooooh
rings around the world!
patti whitebull fell asleep for 15 years!
my favourite too I think, its this or Guerrilla, both works of pop brilliance.
Run! Christian, Run! is my favouritest song.

Top Events
Whether you come to Eger to rest because you're tired, looking forward to a relaxing spa weekend, or to burn some energy in a club, doing outdoor activities and sports – whatever you do, come hungry and thirsty.
As well as the regular festivals scheduled from spring to autumn -- classical, popular, choral and street music -- the architecture, historical sites and events, mountains, lakes and a cool atmosphere, there are quiet side streets, or vibrant bustling squares-- Eger is the place to walk, hike, dance, read, cycle, fish, soak, think, sit, listen, drink and eat.
Spring Cultural Festival
The Spring Festival is an integral part of the cultural life of Eger. Always a great and colourful selection of pop and classical music concerts, exhibitions, choral performances, theatre productions and children's entertainment. The festival this year will be held from March 15- May1st.
Egri Csillag Weekend
Also on the weekend of April 29th-30th, another of Eger's iconic wines will be celebrated at the Egri Csillag Weekend. The Star of Eger is a terroir wine, a white sister to Bull's Blood. The wine is always interesting to try because there are as many versions of this light, elegant refreshing drink, as there are wine makers. This year the festival will be held on Dobo Square (the main square), where street food and pop concerts will spice up the athmosphere.
Street Music Festival
This is one of the coolest festivals in Eger. Street musicians invade the city, at least 50 bands, 150 musicians, playing five consecutive days in the charming downtown streets and squares. There is a real sense of freedom with music practically everywhere. From authentic Hungarian folk music to jazz through ska, funk and rock & roll, in various locations in the city, 12 hours a day.
For those who like to be in the middle of things, in a bubbly atmosphere, this is the place from 16th -20st June 2017. Really, it's not to be missed! There is no fixed venue, no entry fee, but there is dancing, fun and a really positive party mood.
Bikavér (Bull's Blood) Wine Celebration
Eger's largest fest runs from 6th -9th July 2017and it's called Bull's Blood celebration. This year it's the 21st anniversary. This is no ordinary festival and wine tasting. This is a happening that you can only feel properly, experience directly, in situ. The gathering, in addition to providing good music, a great atmosphere and tasting the great wines, is an opportunity to just simply feel good in the city's largest wine-gastronomic event. The venue is the charming Érsek Garden.

Szimfonic Live
The Founding of Hungary as a nation state is celebrated on August 20th. This is always a special evening with something for everyone. Held on the renovated Dobó Square, the "Szimfonic Live" is a large orchestral performance of nationally and internationally well-known melodies. After the concerts, the festive fireworks begin, followed by a midnight street party.
Eger Castle Day
The István Dobó Castle Museum each year organizes Eger Castle Day on October 17th. The commemoration pays homage to the heroic defence of the castle in 1552, when a small number of Hungarian troops, under siege and vastly outnumbered, repelled the repeated attacks of the Turks. A little impromptu time travel is possible. On the day, you can walk among soldiers in period dress and watch re-enacted battle scenes. Children can dress up as 16th century soldiers. The scenery helps recreate the era so well it might encourage the adults to let their inner child out to play.

Microsoft will target the mid-range market when it launches a customer relationship management (CRM) product in the middle of next year.
The company will initially go for sites of five to 50 users says Microsoft Asia-Pacific head of business solutions Dave O'Hara.
Microsoft sees the mid-tier market as having plenty of growth as mid-size companies have shied away from CRM because of its expensive. Pricing of MS CRM hasn't yet been set but will be "affordable", O'Hara says.
Pet food company Masterpet, which uses Navision, is exploring the possibility of CRM but isn't yet convinced of its usefulness.
"We might not have to go any further than contact management, which is contained with in Navision," says financial controller Graham Stirling.
However, Masterpet pays attention to products that can easily be integrated with its existing systems, where the cost can be justified, he says.
MS CRM will be released in two editions. The standard edition will include sales and services automation functionality and the professional edition will eventually be integrated with Great Plains, Navision and Axapta, Microsoft's mid-level accounting packages. It will enable detailed analysis, store product catalogues, have a built-in workflow engine and also be integrated with Microsoft Office. It will be accessible via an Outlook client or browser.
MS CRM will be built on Microsoft Business Framework, a version of Microsoft's .Net framework optimised for business applications development.
O'Hara says there will be opportunities for software developers to extend functionality; for example, through integration with computer telephony software, or in handheld devices.
The head of CRM company Pivotal, Helen Robinson, says she doesn't expect to compete against Microsoft, which she sees tackling the lower end of the market. She is surprised the company will be aiming at up to 50 users.
Peter Radich, managing director of Onyx distributor Sybrel, says Onyx CRM for the Enterprise is also aimed at bigger companies than Microsoft's target market.
"Microsoft 's move is good news for CRM in general in that it will raise CRM awareness.
However, there is a concern that people will mistakenly perceive CRM as a technology-led initiative, whereas CRM must be business-led, starting with a business strategy."

Information About Advance America Cash Advance From Around The Web
When you really have an urgent financial need, it's wise to shop locally for individual financial services. Depending where you are located, easy check cashing can be ranged by services, to short term loan products for example payday loans, also called cash advance loans. Contact the firm listed above to see what financial services are available in your city. Some may also offer loan options that are installment, enabling you to pay your loan back for a set period of time, to bigger loans including personal loans, which afford a wider array of lending bundles with regard to loan amount and interest rates, depending on your credit score.
You should always explore other options before applying for internet payday loans. If there is an emergency or unexpected invoice try and stretch your financing. In the event you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and make an effort to make a payment arrangement. In case your need for cash requires a loan for a longer duration, make an application for an alternate peer to peer or conventional loan. When you have collateral, you can put property up to guarantee a low-interest bank loan. When you are denied capital from a traditional lending source because your credit credibility is shot or you need temporary cash flow until the following pay check, simple loans might look like the perfect solution to get you through a tight fiscal circumstances. Taking out an advance on your own next paycheck from a money lender could be your only alternative should you not need a charge card or cash in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for quick loans on the internet is a great option when unforeseen crises arise or the sum needed isn't worth the ding to your credit rating for starting another account. In addition, you avoid the hassle of needing to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packets of paperwork. Then you may be eligible for a higher limit with a present credit card business or a new account with a different lender which allows you to combine all your debt into one payment, if your credit is good enough. You generally get to skip the following payment as the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts cash in your pocket fast. You may probably be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimal payments of the different debts, when the next payment is due. Many sources of private credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, especially if origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have relatively short periods, frequently as little as three months. Even though it may be possible to refinance these kinds of loans, rolling them around can prove costly.

pregnant with strep throat help!!
3 answers
I have had a what my doctor told me was a sinus infection for about a week now and have been taking an antibiotic she prescribed for me for 2 days now, Checking with her and double checking with the pharmacist that it is ok to be taken while pregnant and it is, Then i wake up this morning with a sore throat and some spots in the back of my throat. Now i am 16 weeks pregnant and do not know what i can take to bots my immune system elevate the pain and help clear my head up so that i can focus on my 15 month old son....... help?
answers (3)
Definatly check with the Dr first but some orange juice and fruits with vitamin C can boost your immune system. Ice pops can help your throat, maybe even a little hot tea. An air vaporizor can help with being stuffy. And good old fashion chicken soup.
i had the strep throat too while pregnant too,i drank tons of lemon and honey.it made my throat feel so much better and eased the pain.also you should use a air vaporizer and place some vicks in the little tray part to keep your nose and throat clear
It's really hard when you are sick, have other children that needs tending and your pregnant too. Rest as much as possible, I know it's hard to say and do but it will help, lots a warm fluids too. There's antibiotics that you can take during pregnancy, I've been on many, but not many over the counter meds you can not take. If it gets worst I'd consult your doc again, as sometimes one infection leads to another and the only way to get relief is more meds. :( Something that help with my sinus infections that I had during pregnancy was a "SinusRinse". Gross doing it but it helps and makes breathing and sleeping easier. Get better soon. :)

Note the blood-red page edges and age spots.
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit
The cover is an early illustration by the author.
And erm... This One
It's some sort of technical manual in German, but it looks SO old, and the text is ALL in Blackletter! Some awesome bits of typography and illustration inside.
And this, too...
It's an old photo album. No idea what I'm ever going to do with it, but that cover and the bound edges were too much to resist.

One summer evening in 1808, Sobran Jodeau stumbles through his family's vineyard in Burgundy, filled with wine and love sorrows. As Sobran sways in a drunken swoon, an angel appears out of nowhere to catch him.Once he gets over his shock, Sobran decides that Xas, the male angel, is his guardian sent to counsel him on everything from marriage to wine production. But Xas turns out to be far more mysterious than angelic. Compelling and erotic, The Vintner's Luck is a decidedly unorthodox love story, one that presents angels as fierce and beautiful as Milton's, and a vision of Heaven, Hell, and the vineyards in between that is unforgettable.
The Vintner's Luck is a huge bestseller in New Zealand. It has sold over 50 000 copies in New Zealand and over 100 000 copies worldwide.
The Vintner's Luck was published in the US by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Picador US, and in the UK by Chatto & Windus and Vintage. It has been published in German, Dutch, Norwegian, Spanish and Hebrew. It won the Deutz Medal for Fiction at the 1999 The Montana NZ Book Awards, where it also received the Readers' Choice and Booksellers' Choice awards.
It was longlisted for the 1999 Orange Prize for fiction (UK) The Vintner's Luck won the 2001 Tasmania Pacific Region Prize, and is the basis of a film directed by Niki Caro.
Praise for The Vintner's Luck
Like a fine wine, this novel reveals its quality and charm in layers, providing richer rewards and delights the further one moves through it. After the initial rapture of experiencing good traditional storytelling peppered with great prose, it is the hidden depths that make this a rich and satisfying experience, one to savour again and again.
Michael Larsen NZ HERALD
It is a startling firework of a novel, probably the most sustained work of imagination to come from a New Zealand author in a book set elsewhere.
Peter Wells THE LISTENER
In winemaking terms, this is a novel of rare quality, a Grand Cru of ample length and great complexity, intensely human in character but with strong celestial overtones. Potent and reflective, it is a book to be savoured, leaving a memory of wings, a lingering scent of fresh snow.
Molly Anderson OTAGO DAILY TIMES
Blood, grit, dust, salt, sand, feathers - characters in The Vintner's Luck are covered in all of these, but the reader flies on the wings of Knox's prose into heaven, out of hell, to emerge enriched on earth in 1997 at the chateau Vully l'Ange du Cru Jodeau.
Catharina van Bohemen EVENING POST
Beautifully written, The Vintner's Luck possesses a complex boutique of conceits and and ideas but it is the simplicity of Elizabeth Knox's writing that in the end draws out the savour of human experience and compassion
James Urquhart THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
This is a gorgeous novel: as fine, rich, satiny and unpredictable as the vintages it describes... From our unquenched thirst to wrestle accommodation between the human and the divine is born this textured, beautifully written exploration of the inexplicable, into which is woven an all-too-human chronicle of burning desire, violence, murderousness, bitter jealously, curiosity, sexual deviation, shame and a fidelity of a sort. Ambitious and unconventional,The Vintner's Luck could easily have crashed. Instead, it soars.
Original, often astonishingly vivid...Xas is one of the best angels since William Blake's. Nina Auerbach THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Daringly exploring the spiritual worth of sensual pleasure, New Zealand writer Knox's imaginative, imagistic tale soars. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Rich prose and an original plot...a delightful, thought-provoking read."
Robin Vidimos THE DENVER POST
Strangely compelling...multilayered and challenging..[The Vintner's Luck] is not your typical angel story. David Tedhams THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
Elizabeth Knox spreads her odd and original gossamer over many things....[Her] imagination resembles one of those Burgundy slopes, mysteriously sunned and fed, that produces a vintage unlike any other.
Richard Eder LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW

When it comes to evaluation, students are under focus. The teachers decide the caliber of students, but what if the tables were turned around?
If there was a situation where the teachers' caliber was measured by the inputs given by students, what would the outcome be? What if the promotions were awarded to the teachers in public universities based on the evaluations of students? Is this good or bad? What criteria should the students consider while evaluating the teacher?
Read on to find out...
Some of the advantages of this event:
* The teachers' attitude towards the students will be better.
* More attention will be given to the students as they form a part of their progress.
* Emphasis will be given to the quality of teaching.
* Teachers would make sure every student gets an equal chance or opportunity.
* There will be a balance between the class performance against a teacher's own performance.
Some of the disadvantages of this event:
* Teachers will loose focus on educating and will be more concerned about pleasing the students to get promoted.
* Students might be bribed in terms of giving them all high scores in order to gain their trust and to get promoted.
* This might result into an internal war between teachers where each one would want to progress before the others.
* Students might be the baits in the process if teachers begin to consider them as stepping stones to get a promotion.
* Some students might take this as an advantage to vote against the teachers they dislike or the teachers who teach the subjects they dislike. Which then would become an unfair judgment.
Criteria for evaluation:
* Teachers must be judged based on their level of knowledge about the subject.
* Questions that needs to be considered includes, "Did the teacher explain the topic in an understandable manner?", "Did the teacher resolve the issues when the doubts arose?", "Was the teacher clear about the subject?", "Did the teacher use alternate or better methods of teaching when there was a need?","Did the teacher encourage students when they brought up suggestions?", "Is the teacher partial?", "Did they put up extra efforts to help the slow-learners?"
* Teachers must be judged based on how approachable they were, and how they supported the student in achieving something.
* Those teachers who are innovative and full of wisdom must be given the best scores
* Those teachers who lack the essential knowledge and are unable to stand by the student's side when in need must be given time for improvement before they are given a promotion.
There is no race that needs to be won against a teacher and a student. A teacher is to teach and share his/her knowledge and a student is to receive it and to be thankful for the same. Evaluation must only help someone to make themselves better.

The Bontrager Solstice range of cycle helmets utilise the multi-directional impact protection system (MIPS). The Bontrager Solstice offers ample protection, great looks and a secure fit. The Solstice range also offer excellent ventilation and are ideal for both trail or town.
The Bontrager Solstice cycle helmet range comes in two sizes:
Measure the crown of your head to ensure correct size and fit.
More about MIPS:
MIPS is designed to mimic the brain's own protection system, MIPS equipped helmets have their own low-friction layer between the helmet and the head which can absorb a portion of the energy created by angled impact by allowing the helmet to slide relative to the head on impact. MIPS is a revolutionary technology that offers more protection against rotational motion to the brain caused by angled impacts. MIPS has been developed since 1996

Hi Friends!
My June Foodie Penpal was one of my favorites. I was lucky enough go get paired up with my first friends I have made in the "Blogging" world. All by chance!! My package came all the way from California from the lovely blogger Julie. Julie blogs over at A Better Life with Burgers. Her blog is so inspiring and uplifting! Check it out!! Remember when she made a guest appearance with her yummy recipe…
Julie, I can't thank you enough for the AWESOME package you sent me. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!! You ROCK!! 🙂
Julie sent me some really fabulous goodies. In my package was 4 larabars (which are my favorite guilt free treat and on the go breakfast), a dark chocolate bar (always a solid choice and way to my heart), and the best surprise was a package of homemade peanut butter granola bars. I wasted NO TIME eating those. I had them as a snack…for breakfast…and just because! Mmmmm! There is just something so special about a homemade treat!
Check it out!
There you have it folks…My June Foodie Penpal reveal…I am sorry I was a little late in posting! Better late than never! Summer has been crazy busy.
Thanks again Julie!!!
And now it's time for some details about Food Penpals, In case you're a new reader, here is a reminder of what the program is all about.
Here's a detailed explanation of the program:
-On the 5th of the month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what's in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!

AFS v. 204 ~ Halcyon Year Review Pt. 1
So, I guess that the new Hunches LP is officially a 2009 release, so that frees up one space in my best-albums-of-2008 list, which I've included further down below this playlist. The first six selections this week's playlist aren't necessarily among my official year-end faves; they're just the newest records to arrive in the mail this week, so I threw 'em on for you (these new Sneaky Pinks and Hunx mighta slipped in there). Nor does this playlist represent all of my favorites of 2008. I figure I gotta say that because in the past, I've had people cry to me ("I thought you liked our record!" (I DO, I DO.)) AFS won't be on the air next week because The Intelligence are gonna be in town, and a power-hang and mega-dangle will be in order! I'll be back in two weeks with the second half of my year-end review, plus lists of the best 7"es, EPs, cassettes, and demo CDR releases of 2008.

Amazing list. Amazing blog. Amazing radio show. I've spent much too much money and time tracking half of these things down. Thanks for being so on top of it!
By the way, I don't mean to nitpick, but the Pocahaunted/Christina Carter split came out in 2007. In fact, it was the #1 album on the Bull Tongue list last year. Anyways, keep it coming.

Sure, why not? There's been some good ones...Doxa Sinistra, O.W.L., Orange, The Rats, The Wipers, Tommy Jay's Tall Tales of Trauma, Twist Noir, compilations such as I.V.G., the last couple of Messthetics. I've gotta ruminate on it some more, but those spring to mind at this moment.

Kudos on including U.S. Girls "Bits and Pieces" on your best of the year show. U.S. Girls for me was the best new musical discovery of 08, and that song was definitely one of the best songs released anywhere this year.

What's up with these shoesMay 17, 2009
I'm not sure where the tradition to throw your shoes over the power line has come from, but looks like sometimes people go too far. This morning on my bike ride to Hicks Road, I saw this site that made me stop. There must have been at least over a dozen pairs of shoes over this power line. When it rains, the weight of the shoes must bring the power line on the verge of breaking.

Fly-fishing in Bridgeport, CAMarch 31, 2009
I just got back from the annual fly-fishing trip to Bridgeport, CA. We stayed at Bridgeport Inn, which has been for sale for the past two and a half years. The weather was sunny and cold. Last day of fishing was 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Click on the thumbnail to see the snapshots from this trip.

The American Red Cross confirmed yesterday that Sandra Bullock made a $1 million donation to Japan disaster relief efforts.
It's the highest donation yet by a Hollywood star in an uncharacteristically slow response by celebrities to open their wallets. As USA Today reported, only $49 million has been raised so far by American charities, compared with the more than $296 million that was raised in the first seven days of the 2010 Haitian earthquake.
Part of the reason may lie with perception as Japan, the world's third largest economy, is largely perceived as being able to fund recovery efforts without outside assistance.
"Japan is a highly developed industrialized nation and doesn't appear to be in great need. Haiti and Indonesia, these are countries that were for the most part very poor countries,"Patrick Rooney, director for the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University told the newspaper. "You see these disasters hitting and think, 'Oh gosh these countries really need something.'"
While Bullock's may be the highest to date, other big names have been making a push to recruit donations from their large social media bases. Lady Gaga's Twitter efforts have brought in close to $1M - with $250K raised in 48 hours thanks to sales of her "Pray for Japan" wristbands.
The "Bad Romance" singer also helped Eric Schmidt take his online campaign from $3,000 to $70,000 in donations after tweeting that the Google CEO would match the first $100K in public donations to Citizen Effect.
Even movie studios are getting involved. Earlier in the week, Warner Bros. announced that they were pulling the film "Hereafter" from Japan's theaters because of a highly-realistic scene recreating the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The film's DVD hit U.S. shelves on Tuesday, with Warners allocating a portion of all sales for relief efforts in Japan.
[UPDATE] Actress/musician Demi Lovato has also reported as making a $1M donation! Charitable organizations have also revealed that many celebrities have chosen to remain anonymous with their donations; so the number participating in relief efforts may be much higher.

See why shipping tycoon Onasis and wife Jackie O' chose their island retreat here, why Madonna wanted to buy it, and why Lord Byron just couldn't leave.
Nature, culture, ancient Greek history and mythology- its all here. Ionian Explorers tours appeal to sophisticated travelers and adventurers alike. Site seeing by kayak is an intimate and tranquil way to explore the less commercial and culturally rich Ionian Islands, which lie just off the west coast of mainland Greece, opposite Italy.

Afshan Azad, 22, the high-profile Harry Potter actress remains in hiding after refusing to appear in a London court. Ms. Azad had been seeing a non-Muslim man, a Hindu. Her family, specifically her father, Abul Azad, 53, and her brother Ashraf, 28, called her a "prostitute" and tried to force her into an arranged marriage with a Muslim man. Her brother also beat and her father threatened to kill her in May of this year. She escaped her family home and has been in hiding ever since. According to the Telegraph, she refused to testify against her family, saying that doing so would endanger her further. Apparently the British police tried but failed to persuade Ms. Azad to testify.
Ms. Azad's refusal to appear makes sense to me. She is already in great danger for having associated with a non-Muslim man. Add to that the public and shameful exposure of her family in this matter. Having her male relatives jailed would mean a torturous death sentence.
I have published two studies about honor killing. The first appeared in 2009 in Middle East Quarterly; the second appeared there as well in 2010. In the most recent publication, I studied 230 victims who were honor-murdered on five continents over a twenty year period in 172 separate incidents. (More than one person was murdered in some of the incidents). As these studies have shown, immigrants to the West, including and especially immigrants from South Asia (Ms. Azad is of Bangladeshi descent), continue to perpetrate honor killings in the West.
The level of violence towards girls and women in South Asia can be barbarous and quite unbelievable.
Horrific vigilante mob violence is routinely perpetrated against innocent individuals in Pakistan. Recently, the Pakistani "Taliban" have been known to throw acid into the faces of schoolgirls, disfiguring them for life, if they were seen as improperly veiled or trying to attend grade school.
In 1998, Zahida Perveen's husband, in a fit of rage, bound her hand and foot and then, using a razor and a knife, proceeded to cut out her eyes and slice off her ears and nose. Zahida's crime? Her husband suspected that she was having an affair with a brother-in-law. At the time, Zahida was three months pregnant.
In 2004, a tribal council in Pakistan in the Punjab ordered that a young girl be publicly gang-raped then paraded naked through her village—a punishment for an alleged crime committed by her brother. This case became known worldwide when the girl not only did not kill herself but indeed pressed charges.
Girls in South Asia and elsewhere are routinely killed for far less than choosing their own husbands. They are murdered if a false rumor has been spread or if they are seen even talking to a male non-relative. There are few police officers, few judges, few social workers, few lawyers who would be able or willing to protect Ms. Azad in South East Asia from her family's permanent desire to kill her and so to "cleanse their own shame." Honor killings take place both among rural, indigent and illiterate South Asian families—and among highly educated, literate, professional, and wealthy South Asian families too.
In 2009, I received an extraordinary report which documented honor killings in Pakistan. (Although Ms. Azad's family is from Bangladesh, the country was actually part of Pakistan until 1971, and its culture is very similar to Pakistan's.) My Pakistani informant, of the SW Community Development Department, in Sind, Pakistan, sent me an unpublished paper in which he describes and explains Ms. Azad's family's culture very carefully:

The individual scoring records of the Ontario Hockey League's Peterborough Petes are respectable, yet still beatable. Many teams in the OHL had their individual offensive records obliterated in the 1980's and put to levels that are far out of reach of today's game.
Scott Tottle holds the team record for most goals in a single season with 63, set in 1983-84. It was Scott's second of three seasons in the OHL, all with Peterborough. He totaled 110 points that season and was named the Bobby Smith Trophy recipient as the OHL's Scholastic Player of the Year.
The following season, Tottle's goal total dropped to 55 in six less games played but his point total rose to 126, good for sixth in the league, tied with Mike Millar of the Hamilton Steelhawks. Scott was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the third round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, 50th overall. He played one year of professional hockey after the OHL, 1985-86 with the Fredericton Express of the American Hockey League.
Mark Teevens holds the Peterborough Petes single season record for most assists with 90 in 1984-85. It was his third of four seasons in the OHL and his 133 total points that season placed him fifth in the league.
Teevens was taken in the fourth round of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, 64th overall. After three years in the North American minors, Mark began a career in Germany that lasted until his death in 1998. In his first year in Germany, he produced 106 goals and 193 points in just 56 games in the tier 3 Oberliga. Teevens died of a Pulmonary Embolism while on injured reserve, recovering from pneumonia.
Mike Harding holds the team record for most points in a single season with 136 in 1992-93. Harding added 39 more in the playoffs as the Petes captured the Robertson Cup. He played four seasons in the OHL from 1990-91 to 1993-94, all with Peterborough until midway through his final season when he was traded to the Detroit Junior Red Wings. He played two years of university hockey with the University of Prince Edward Island but never played in the pros.
Jamie Langenbrunner's 91 points in his first year with Peterborough remains the team record for most points by a rookie. Langenbrunner played two years with Peterborough, 1993-94 and 1994-95. He was taken by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, 35th overall. Still active in the NHL, at the end of the 2010-11 season, Jamie had put in 1035 regular season games with Dallas and the New Jersey Devils. He has won a Stanley Cup with each team. Langenbrunner will start the 2011-12 season with the St. Louis Blues.
In 1983-84, Shawn Evans set the team mark for most points by a defenseman in a single season with 109. Despite having 27 less points, the Max Kaminsky Trophy for the league's best defenseman went to Brad Shaw of the Ottawa 67's that season. Evans played three seasons in the OHL from 1982-83 to 1984-85, totaling a very impressive 256 points in 191 games from the blue line.
Shawn was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, 24th overall. He played in just nine games in the NHL, seven with the St. Louis Blues in 1985-86 and two more with the New York Islanders in 1989-90. Evans played a long career in the IHL and AHL that lasted until the end of the 1998-99 season.

Located in Alexandria, Virginia, the National Center for Homeopathys (NCH) was formed in 1974. The National Center for Homeopathy promotes health through homeopathy. It makes homeopathy available throughout the United States by providing general education to the public and specific education to homeopaths. The principal function of the National Center for Homeopathy is to put accurate, quality, realistic information into the hands of anyone interested in an alternative to chemical drug treatments. People can then make an informed decision about the available alternatives in medical care. The National Center for Homeopathy also provides assistance in the development of local chapters of lay persons interested in homeopathy.
This open-membership organization has provided instruction for over 70 years. Each summer the NCH conducts the National Center for Instruction in Homeopathy and Homeotherapeutic, highly specialized classes for health care practitioners and consumers. In 2006 the National Center for Homeopathy began offering weekend seminars around the country. It helps its practitioners continue treating patients who prefer not to be involved in modern medicine.
Members receive six issues per year of Homeopathy Today, an informative and educational publication. Filled with helpful hints, book reviews, a calendar of events and short articles, it alternates with the popular e-Newsletter. Members also have access to many online amenities such as Homeopathy Today Online, the NCH Chat Room, the Remedies & Symptoms materia medica database and discounts from green and organic vendors.
Members also receive the Homeopathic Resource Guide, invaluable information which provides information to practitioners, pharmacies, and study groups. Members may also use the National Center reference library, which houses one of the largest collections of texts, journals, and monographs on homeopathy in the United States. This library is open only to NCH members.
Through The Natural Center for Homeopathy website, the work with the media and the open to the public annual meeting, the National Center for Homeopathy provides accurate, up-to-date information. A press package is available once a year and the staff answers more than 10,000 inquiries a year.
The NCH store is supplied with homeopathic books and products that have provided thousand of people with their first glimpse of self care through homeopathy. These resources are available at a special member discount by phone or online.
While the Natural Center for Homeopathy cannot endorse the credentials of a homeopathic practitioner, a database is available on the NCH website to assist patients in finding the perfect equation for their health care needs.
Inner Health Through Homeopathy, a new web radio show, made its debut on Voice America on April 11, 2007. It airs at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays on Homeopathy Radio.

So back to all About Greek Hospitals, I'm writing now because we spent all day yesterday in the Hospital for Katerina, she has been feeling chest pains when she wakes up in the mornings, it has happened twice and then on Tuesday at school a boy hit her in the chest and it was hurting her all afternoon and into the night, so we took her to the hospital.
My first experience with a Greek Hospital was on my Wedding Day, funny right, I had to go in for blood test and a chest X-ray so I could have legal papers at the Taverna that my husband owns, just in case the food police stop by, they know I am disease free.
There ARE NO Appointments in Hospitals, you just show up and whoever is first gets served first, but the fantastic thing about children is that there aren't many in the hospital. But if your an old person then you will have one hell of a wait. We saw the Pediatrician right away, she did a cardiologist test and a blood test, then we waited for the "head" Pediatrician to come in and take a look at Katerina. Kat did a great job with the first doctor, but she wanted nothing to do with the second, this was of course after a 2 hour wait, so I'm pretty sure it was just pain and exhaustion on her part. She was freaking out and screaming and well it did not go well, Arthur kind of held her down as I tried to help the doctor listen to her heart, breath and etc. Thank fully the next step went much better after I carried her through the maze of the hospital to have a chest X-Ray.
Now here is the nice part of Greek People, when you say it is for a kid, they will let you cut right in line, awesome right? The X-Ray area had about 20 people waiting, but since we needed it for a child they let us go straight to the front, but we still had to wait an hour for the film and I saw some old people pretty much get there's straight away, but I'm guessing they were more of a life or death situation since they looked pretty knocked out as they were wheeled into the X-ray room.
After the chest X-rays came back clean the Head Pediatrician told us we should go to the Private hospital and have her checked there as well.
We Paid Nothing at the Government Run Hospital.

Forgive me father for it has been over one month since my last blog post.
The last month has seen a raft of progress for the SAVE programme at Glasgow which includes...
Meeting with an international company to discuss a mentor programme.
Meeting with Blackbaud to discuss potential solutions within NetCommunity.
Laura & Pete delivered a presentation on internal and external findings relating to potential programme content.
Being allocated a Critical Friend by JISC!
Being very, very close to contacting our students and alumni for their opinions about how the University engages with them and what we can offer them in the future.
So quite a lot to get through then! For the benefit of the hoards reading this blog, "I" or "me" means "Pete".
Meeting with an international company to discuss a mentor programme.
The Careers service has over the past year developed a close working relationship with a contact at a large international company, who along with the Careers service has been keen to engage with Glasgow University alumni employed at the company to become careers mentors. The meeting that we had was incredibly positive as we are now close to being in a position to try and take all the discussions that have taken place forward.
What came out of the meeting that appealed to me, with my rather analytical and systematic working brain, was that we have to satisfy and meet the needs of numerous people here; students, alumni, staff within the company and the Careers department at Glasgow University. We also have tp do this in a way that is interactive and easy to use as well as construct it in a manner that fits in with GU World (online portal for alumni) and NetCommunity (software for GU World)! So plenty of challenges ahead but this links me nicely to....
Meeting with Blackbaud to discuss potential solutions within NetCommunity.
This is the sort of meeting that I enjoy. Where someone tells me about all of the excellent features that are already available that aren't utilised and all the exciting updates that are coming!!! We met with Graham from Blackbaud and he helped us in two ways..
1. He confirmed in many ways that the ideas, methods of recording information and potential online structure of our programme that we have been discussing and developing aren't that far away from being realised and are workable.
2. He was able to offer alternative solutions in areas where we anticipated that we might find challenges in operating.
So all is looking rosy on this front.
Laura & Pete delivered a presentation on internal and external findings relating to potential programme content.
The fruition of over 3 months of work from Laura and over a month of work from Pete culminated in a presentation to the project group last week.
Laura was able to present on her findings from Alumni Volunteer Programme's at other HEI's in the UK and internationally as well as put forward initial recommendations on programme content. Additionally, there was a whole raft of other information discussed after the presentation on the key findings that have really been of excellent use in defining what we are hoping to do, as well as stimulating discussion on what our priorities should be.
I presented on the statistical findings of an internal audit of information held within the University, that has been collated over the years. Some of this was online activity and engagement with other information being recorded from existing relationships with alumni across Development & Alumni, International Recruitment and the Careers Service. One of the main points that came out of this audit was that we already have quite a number of alumni who want to engage with us, but we may have not followed up that interest in the past. These people will most definitely be contacted by us in the near future.
Being allocated a Critical Friend by JISC!
A warm welcome to Professor Peter Kawalek of Manchester Business School who is the Critical Friend for our cluster group.
We look forward to meeting him for the first time at our cluster group meeting which we are hoping to schedule on the 13th September in London. I'm awaiting a response from JISC who have very helpfully offered us use of some of their central London space, as the members of our cluster group have quite a geographical spread.
Being very, very close to contacting our students and alumni for their opinions about how the University engages with them and what we can offer them in the future.
Something that I have been working on is pulling together a questionnaire for both alumni and students that can assist us in setting up our programme.
Our main challenge in contacting them is that they're all away having a lovely time in the sunshine, whilst we're stuck indoors slaving over a programme just for them! Therefore we have had to hold off on sending out questionnaire so that we can get the best possible response from them (Amazon vouchers may also facilitate a greater response).
Our audit also output a large number of alumni (800+) that we can contact with the alumni version of the questionnaire.
There were two things that I kept in mind when compiling the questions.
1. Make sure they're not loaded questions.
2. Make sure the answers are comparable and easily output.
Here's hoping we get lots and lots and lots and lots of reponses.
Thanks for reading!

Sunday morning up early for my weekly road run (as of late) but decided to head to the Brad and see how the knee handles the trails. Ran 6 miles with absolutely no issues ....other then the usual garmen reading incorrectly.
I arrived with the intent of parking outside the gate because it was so early but the gate was open. I assumed someone must already be running. There were no vehicles in the lot at all so at least I didn't have to fight for a parking spot. I wasted no time to hit the trails as I was quite anxious. It felt fantastic to be running on trails and what better place than Bradbury.
I figured 6 miles would be a perfect distance for starters and really only had about an hour window anyway. When I arrived back at the parking lot, there were two cars there and I was pretty sure one of them was Vals. I suspected they must have run the connector or something on the west side.
As usual around the holidays, I eat way too much, don't get much for runs in and in essence lose focus on my training. I don't get too worried though as I will get cracking the whip after Christmas
I love the holidays but at the same time can't wait for the pace to slow a bit and get back to normal.
The knee issues have slowed me down more than normal and for the first time in three years I will not pass the 1000 mile mark. Though discouraging, I think I handled the injury fairly well and surely will be glad I took it easy rather than pushing through it.

Thanks to everyone who came out last week for our reading and signing of Trouble Boys: the True Story of The Replacements! We will thrilled to be joined by author Bob Mehr, and former Replacements manager and co-founder of Twin/Tone Records, Peter Jesperson. After Mehr shared the story of how the band shaved their eyebrows in Seattle (FACT!), Sean Nelson led an informative Q&A. Original Replacements memorabilia was on display, and there was even a replica of the "Bastards of Young" music video in the corner. Attendees had the chance to win an original Let It Be painting by acclaimed artist Steve Keene, and were later treated to covers of 'Mats favorites by STAG, Prom Queen, Ian Moore, Ethan Cossette (Car Seat Headrest), and the KEXP house band (yes, you missed out on KEXP DJ Kevin Cole on guitar). Thank you to our friends at Elliott Bay Book Company and Silver Platters for being on site for all the fun. For one more week, you can revisit a special edition of The Afternoon Show on KEXP with guest DJs Mehr and Jesperson, featuring tons of stories and songs about everyone's favorite "trouble boys."

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
Medical professionals should have convenient access to records detailing a patient's dental health, a computer and information systems expert has suggested.
Professor Valerie Powell of Robert Morris University recently organized a teleconference discussion on the topic of improving communication between dentists and doctors, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
She told the news provider she plans to compile a list of recommendations to send to Tom Daschle, who was recently announced as President-elect Barack Obama's choice for health secretary.
Powell explained that although there is a growing body of research supporting the link between dental care and whole-body health, a comparable change in professional behavior has not taken place.
"Dentists and physicians aren't communicating," she said. "I really don't believe we're going to get an optimal improvement in clinical care until we take care of this problem."
Some of the panel's suggestions include enhancing pre-practice education so that both medicine and dentistry have some knowledge of both fields and utilizing computer technology to share records.
Gum disease has been linked to a number of health conditions, including diabetes, stroke, kidney disease and low birth-weight babies.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our St. Kitts get-a-way
Rob won a year long contest in 2008 that sent us on a St. Kitts get-a-way this past week. He worked incredibly hard to make it and was one of only a few agents to qualify after only operating his agency for 2 and a half years. I was the lucky duck who just got to tag along- and was thrilled to do that!!
We stayed at the Royal Marriot St. Kitts Resort where everything was included- it got a little crazy within the huge group of agents. It was unbelievable how well Erie took care of us- from a chartered plane to gifts in our room each night- I was in complete shock. (this is not something we would have ever experienced). We were able to go on a catamaran cruise with snorkeling, tour the capital city of Basseterre, and of course relax at the beach. We had pretty good weather- it rained one morning (but the beach was still pretty cool as the rain was pelting us!). I was more responsible than I usually am with sunscreen (remembering a Myrtle Beach vaca a few years ago-oops) so we did not burn much at all! It was about 80-85 degrees!
One of the most intriquing parts of the trip were the people of St. Kitts (Kittians). We were amazed by their talents in music, crafts, and of course trying to bamboozle Americans who look lost. Within an hour of our arrival, a trio of monkeys was plopped on Rob as a man told me to take pictures- only later to find out this was not just for kicks and giggles, but he wanted 20 bucks!! You'll see one of those "wonderful" photos in the montage- hey, we got experience right?! We stayed away from that man as best as we could the rest of our stay :)
This country has two islands-St. Kitts and Nevis- both of which have a volcano and rainforest. The landscape was breathtaking! The Kittians were very kind, but we were a bit uneasy walking around the city alone down some of the back alleys- our true ignorance revealed, I'm sure.
Being only a few days long was perfect because we were missing our K-bear quite a bit by Wed. I think she almost over the fact that we left her- she was in such good hands while we were gone- like her own vacation with both sets of grandparents. But we were happy to see that the weather here is halfway decent to get us back into the swing of March in Ohio. :)

Red is a great color choice for your border. It could be used to decorate at Christmastime, Valentine's day and Fourth of July. I think you told me once that the red, white and blue decorating season is the longest. It seems like it would work out great for you. Love you!
