Patchwork Kilims
(just open in a new tab to enlarge)
I'm totally disappointed. It's not nearly as nice. I actually caught myself thinking well, I could afford that, and I still love the look, maybe one would do for our entry. Then I came back to reality. Really? Nope, it's not even close to being as cool as those original ones are. The colors are off, the patterns are generic. Sometimes I can happily go for a copy. In this case, I'm sorry PB, I think I'd rather walk on my bare wood floors for now!
Next time I'm in NY, you betcha I'm going to head over to ABC & price out one of these bad boys...
Come Join the Party!
Oh How I Love You...

The Red Vault
Oh Omelle!
Shoe designers Cherise Angelle & Nicole LaFave's Omelle line is edgy, modern, and for the girl who is not afraid to strut it!
Dining Room Table Quest
The top is made of reclaimed azobe wood with a half found metal band all around the edges, the cast iron industrial base is American 1930's-40's. Pretty amazing right? Jurg artfully refinishes or fabricates most of his furniture from unique items found in Europe or the US. I also saw some pretty amazing 1930's American chaise lounges on wheels that he'd lacquered a gray/green. And I drooled over an original George Nelson ball bubble pendant light from the 1950's.
Back to "the one", the part I'm leaving out is the price. It's $9500. Yep. You read correctly. NO, it does not have inlaid diamonds. You think you'd be buying precious jewels for that price. I went from being super stoked that I found something I thought was incredible, to being sad, really sad. But Jurg is so cool and asked me to give him a budget and he'd see what he could make for me within my price range. So we'll see, I think in my budget the only thing Jurg could make me would be a Barbie sized table!

Brazil Jungle House
In my life I've been fortunate to have two good friends from Brazil, they have brought smiles to my face and are always fun to be around. I've learned that Brazilians have a zest for life and are proud of their country and culture. I've always wanted to visit there and to learn Portuguese! Check out this fabulous house in the jungles of Brazil...I'd love to sit on those sofas and drink a caipirinha with my friends Joanna and Felipe!
I love everything about this space, Anna Sheffield's showroom/atelier. Her jewelry is even more fab! Those black painted floors, oriental rug and ceiling tin are pretty awesome.
Oh. Before I forget, her line for Target comes out August 31st. Can't wait for that! Between this and Anna Sui's Gossip Girl line, I think all my fall clothes are coming from Tarjay!
Bargain Hunter
We won't be installing them until we have painted, I'm testing some colors out on the walls this week and weekend, hopefully in the coming weeks I'll be able to do some before and after photos!

Love the Leontine monograms! A lot of the furniture in their farm came from places like Restoration Hardware, of course mixed with Hermes throws.
I'm totally obsessed with their kitchen...the double sinks, brass hardware, mixing of materials. Gorgeous! Oh by the way, thinking of kitchen's I'm obsessed with, also check out more of Jenna Lyons kitchen photos and different angles here...I was excited to see that, love Jenna Lyons. Remember that issue of Domino is the one I just had to have.

Computer problems + Internet issues + in laws in town this weekend + overall busy-ness = No Blogging. I'll be back soon! I promise! With some quick fix-its to my house to share! Just breathe...and have a fantastic weekend ;) xxx
Bohemian Classic
Here's Me:
Meg, you are a Bohemian Classic
You have a refined sensibility and bring a sense of history and tradition into your decor. You appreciate how symmetrical arrangements and beautiful, well-crafted pieces create a solid foundation to a room. But you like to shake up this restraint with objects and accessories that express your personality and your love of other cultures. When traveling, you seek out unique objects that reflect what you love, and you use them in a sophisticated way. You want people to feel comfortable in your home, and cozy chairs, ethnic fabrics, unique pieces, and even a little touch of quirk or humor give your house a laid-back, Bohemian flair.
You value serenity. While there are probably a lot of interesting things in your home, they are joined by your taste or a certain palette that keeps them in harmony. You appreciate the beauty in simple forms. Whether fancy or plain, you appreciate things that are well made and function as well as they look. You also have a strong respect for the environment and craftsmanship. You care about how things are made, and how they are used.
Putting Your Style to Work!
1. Your Design Challenge: UNIFY The good news is, you probably have many things you love and have collected, and no one would ever say your home is boring! You've done the hard part; now you just need to pull it all together. If your furniture seems like a mish-mash, unify it through similar upholsters or slipcovers. When grouping objects, try to find something they have in common. If they share a shape, color or material, they will look like a collection. A tray is every decorator's secret weapon for making groups of small objects look purposeful and sculptural. If your accessories are all over the map, try subduing the upholstery or wall color, so your small items are the stars.
2. Your Happy Place The more serene your bedroom feels, the happier you will be. A pretty coverlet over a big duvet makes the bed look smooth—and not all duvet-lumpy! And, a blanket folded at the foot of the bed breaks up the big expanse of fabric. Euro shams—those big square pillows—are great for reading in bed, and a few decorative pillows can also be a nice touch. Consider adding a basket or a small occasional table near your bedside table for books, papers, lotions, linen spray or whatever you'd like.
3. Be Party-Ready All the Time! Scent: The first thing you notice about a home is how it smells. Use naturally fragrant cleaning products. If you find a scented candle or fresh potpourri you love, stock up on it. Any scent you like, whether perfume or linen spray, can be used on upholstery, bedding or just spritzed into the air.
Mood: Nice, flattering light makes us feel good. So nix the harsh, direct light from overhead fixtures in favor of the softer glow from floor and table lamps. Also, stock up on some votive candles and a couple of hurricane lanterns for setting around the room.
Food: Devote space in your pantry or on a shelf for go-to party essentials: crackers, dip, chips, nuts—whatever you like to serve. Keep on hand a collection of attractive bowls and cocktail napkins, and you'll be able to set a spread—instantly!
Drink: The simplest and chicest thing is to have a drinks tray or table always set up. Include a mix of pretty glasses, an ice bucket, a lovely pitcher, and bottles of soda and water. When the bell rings, just add ice and limes.
I had fun taking this, I recommend it.
I still need to participate in this little summer challenge, after all, summer is almost over! One photo to describe your style is really hard, especially when your own home is not ready to be photographed! But Alek...now that I know I'm Boho Classic, I'll start searching my archives for a photo!

The original Mirch Masala is still plying its trade in Norbury, South London, and the second branch is busy in Tooting, but this imposing restaurant in Southall has quickly taken over as the flagship.
The other branches were the kind of establishments where customers raved about 'food so good' that they could forgive the restaurants any amount of scruffiness.
The new resto is a smart affair: new chairs, stone floor, big windows, smart open kitchen.
Prices have gone up a little, but the menu is the same and the cooking still tastes fresh and feisty.
Be careful to specify how hot you want your dishes to be.
As you sit down you get a pappadum and a plate of cucumber and raw onion.
From the starters the best choice is to stick to the 'kebabs'.
Seek kebabs, chicken tikka and fish tikka are good.
The lamb chops are very good - good crispy bits and plenty of fresh bread stuffed with onions.
The vegetarian dishes are also good here - look out for the karahi butter beans methi.
There is a new range of 'deigi' dishes - a kind of steam-roasting - but the simple karahi curries cooked to order are too good to miss.
Very fresh, with plenty of fresh herbs and clean flavours, they include karahi ginger chicken; karahi methi gosht; and, best of, all karella gosht, lamb with bitter melon.
The breads are good and the rice dishes sound.
Cheap, fresh food, served quickly and without fuss.

thank you so much for the comments & help
it wasnt sim locked its telstra locked - i dont wish to have their service any more - im trying to put another service sim into phone - buts its locked to telstra
thanks anyway
If its just SIM locked, you will need to contact your service provider
(ie Optus/Vodafone etc) and Request a PUK code. In alot of cases when
you have PUK'd your phone, you will need a SIM Replacement, which you
can get from the mobile Phone shops.
If you are trying to remove the network lock and have tried 3 times the phone is screwed and will need to be taken to a Nokia Care Center, they may charge.

Daniel Carroll (MD) asked the Convention to delete the power of states to subdivide, and grant western backlands to the US. This would remove the burden of State building from State Legislatures. It would also quell Small State fears of already Large States growing to enormous size. He moved to commit the Article.
Luther Martin (MD) seconded.
John Rutlidge asked if States were to be cut up without their consent. He attempted to soothe Small State fears, saying there was no way VA or NC would extend their government over the mountains. (Look at a relief map of the US. Their western borders, including West VA, are more or less just over the Appalachian Mountains.)
Hugh Williamson said NC was also inclined to give up her Western lands, but not to have them taken away. He was for doing nothing about it in the Constitution.
James Wilson was against commitment and would not yield on this point to the minority interest. He would not vote to allow a political society to be torn asunder without its consent.
Mr. Carrolls motion to commit failed 8-3.
Roger Sherman motioned to postpone a vote on the substitute Article XVII agreed to yesterday, in order to consider, The Legislature shall have power to admit other States into the Union, and new States to be formed by the division or junction of States now in the Union, with the consent of the Legislature of such States."
Mr. Shermans motion failed 6-5.
Dr. Samuel Johnson moved to insert hereafter formed or, to the substitute Article XVII so as to read, New States may be admitted by the Legislature into this Union: but no new State shall be hereafter formed or erected within the limits of any of the present States, without the consent of the Legislature of such State, as well as of the Genl. Legislature. His term, hereafter formed or, was intended to specifically remove the consent of NY from the business of admitting Vermont to the Union. (NY delegates left the convention several weeks prior.)
Dr. Johnsons motion passed 9-2.
Governeur Morris motioned to replace limits, with jurisdiction, which was another effort to remove VT from NY dominance.
Mr. Morris motion passed 7-4.
(Luther Martin then let loose a broadside.) The new peoples of the western lands and Maine should not have to seek consent from VA, NC and MA to form states. They would end up oppressed in their small numbers by State Legislatures weeks away over dangerous mountain ranges. No, the Small States would guarantee the extended land claims of the Large. Mr. Martin sarcastically reminded Mr. Wilson of his earlier statements regarding states as mere phantoms of irrelevance, whereas now they were of the most incredible importance. He countered Mr. Morris threat yesterday to leave the convention with one of his own.
Mr. Martin motioned to substitute Mr. Morris substitution with, The Legislature of the U. S. shall have power to erect New States within as well as without the territory claimed by the several States or either of them, and admit the same into the Union: provided that nothing in this constitution shall be construed to affect the claim of the U. S. to vacant lands ceded to them by the late treaty of peace.
Mr. Martins motion failed to pass, 8-3.
Mr. Morris motion from yesterday, the substitute amendment to Article XVII, New States may be admitted by the Legislature into the Union: but no new State shall be hereafter formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any of the present States without the consent of the Legislature of such State as well as of the General Legislature," passed 8-3.
John Dickinson motioned to add to Article XVII, "Nor shall any State be formed by the junction of two or more States or parts thereof, without the consent of the Legislatures of such States, as well as of the Legislature of the U. States," which passed without a formal vote.
Daniel Carroll motioned to add, -"Provided nevertheless that nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to affect the claim of the U. S. to vacant lands ceded to them by the Treaty of peace." He so much as admitted his motion was vague.
James Wilson opposed the motion. Leave this litigated issue alone.
James Madison brought up the Judicial Power and its jurisdiction over such matters. He also thought it best to be silent on the subject aside from declaring to leave particular State claims alone.
Roger Sherman thought Mr. Carrolls proviso harmless.
Abraham Baldwin (GA), as a delegate with an interest in western lands, did not press his states claims. But, he reminded the Convention that his State ran the risk of loss of territory during the war, in violation of Uti Possidetis. (Uti Possidetis, from a quick wiki search, is an ancient concept that a newly independent States should not lose territory to neighbors)
John Rutlidge would not accept the addition of near meaningless provisions to the Constitution.
Daniel Carroll withdrew his motion. But, he then motioned, Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to alter the claims of the U. S. or of the individual States to the Western territory, but all such claims shall be examined into & decided upon, by the Supreme Court of the U. States." (Punting difficult issues to the Supreme Court is apparently an old American tradition.)
(I suppose by this time, many delegates were at wits end to come up with a solution. What to do over competing State and individual or corporate claims to lands given to the US by treaty? Do Sovereign States have just claims, or the US, or both? What of the claims of speculative companies (Illinois & Wasbash, Indiana Companies) to which Indians had sold large tracts? Some members of the Confederation Congress and influential State office holders had interests in these companies. Add political calculations over representation in a popularly elected House and equal State suffrage in the Senate, it was a real mess that befuddled our Framers.)
Governeur Morris motioned to postpone in order to consider, "The Legislature shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the U. States; and nothing in this constitution contained, shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims either of the U. S. or of any particular State," which was agreed to without opposition.
Luther Martin motioned to give the Supreme Court specific jurisdiction over the issue.
Governeur Morris pointed out that it was unnecessary. Scotus would have jurisdiction without it. Mr. Martins motion was defeated, 8-2.
Article XVIII was next. The United States shall guaranty to each State a Republican form of Government; and shall protect each State against foreign invasions, and, on the application of its Legislature, against domestic violence.
The word foreign was struck as superfluous.
John Dickinson moved to strike, "on the application of its Legislature, against." (If James Madison was Father of the Constitution, John Dickinson was parent to the Articles of Confederation. It is unfortunate Mr. Dickinson is another comparative unknown in this period.)
(Check Mr. Dickinsons words closely. With his change, the National Government would have power to put down rebellion in any form, from slaves or perhaps a Legislature preparing to vote for secession.)
Jonathan Dayton brought up RI as an example of why the amendment was needed. (Man, I wish I knew what he referred to. Once again, the absence of a court recorder denied our look into history.)
Mr. Dickinsons motion failed 8-3.
A motion made by an unidentified delegate to strike domestic violence and insert insurrections failed narrowly, 6-5.
John Dickinson moved to insert or Executive, after the words, application of its Legislature. A rebellion may prevent the meeting of a States Legislature.
Mr. Dickinsons motion passed 8-2.
Luther Martin moved to add, in the recess of the Legislature, after Executive, which failed to pass 10-1.
Article XVIII as amended, The United States shall guaranty to each State a Republican form of Government; and shall protect each State against invasions, and, on the application of its Legislature, or Executive against domestic violence.
Article XIX was next, On the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the States in the Union, for an amendment of this Constitution, the Legislature of the United States shall call a Convention for that purpose.
Governeur Morris thought the Legislature should be able to do so at will.
Article XIX passed without opposition.
Article XX, The members of the Legislatures, and the Executive and Judicial officers of the United States, and of the several States, shall be bound by oath to support this Constitution, was taken up.
An unidentified delegate motioned or affirmation, after oath. The motion passed.
(I suspect the work of three months weighed heavily on Madison by now. His recent notes showed noticeably less detail than in the early days of the Convention.)
Charles Pinckney motioned to add, "but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the authority of the U. States."
Roger Sherman disfavored the motion as unnecessary considering the liberality of the times.
Governeur Morris and General Pinckney approved. The motion, and then Article XX passed 9-1-1. Article XXI, The ratifications of the Conventions of ----- States shall be sufficient for organizing this Constitution, was next.
James Wilson proposed seven, being a majority of the whole.
Daniel Carroll motioned for postponement, in order to consider the tabled report from the Committee of Eleven (Ports & Trade). His motion was defeated, 8-3.
Governeur Morris attempted to make allowance (perhaps expectation) for noncontiguous State ratification.
Roger Sherman suggested ten states. The Confederation required unanimity to make changes.
Edmund Randolph proposed nine, being the number to pass most laws under the Confederation.
James Wilson sought eight. (Mr. Madison must be exhausted. There is little texture left to his notes.)
John Dickinson asked some difficult questions. Must Congress concur with the Constitution? What of States that do not ratify? Could Congress recommend a system that contravened the one they served?
James Madison thought whatever the number, the Constitution could be put in force over all the people.
(Bad idea, Mr. Madison)
James Wilson said (obviously) only those States which ratify can be bound. The people of each State will decide.
Pierce Butler favored nine. It was ridiculous to be bound by the restraint of two States.
Daniel Carroll went the other way, and offered all thirteen; that being the number necessary to dissolve the existing Confederacy.
The Convention adjourned without a further vote.
This day in particular seems reflect the sum of the Convention questions of Big or small— of the Majority vs. Minority — of States rights to be surrendered to a new and national system.
what State today speaks with such jealousy for guarding States rights-Texas comes to mind -but I fear all will surrender to the power now entrenched in our national system.

Nick Swisher excited about how Indians are jelling
Associated Press | Last updated April 23, 2013
Three weeks into the season and Indians outfielder Nick Swisher can't contain his excitement over his new team. The veteran will have to wait another day to help Cleveland try to extend its three-game winning streak after rain postponed Tuesday night's game against Chicago White Sox. The game was called three hours and 35 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Starters Zach McAllister of Cleveland and Jose Quintana will be pushed back to pitch Wednesday afternoon. Swisher, who signed with Cleveland in the offseason after four seasons with the New York Yankees, is excited about how the Indians are jelling. ''It's just a great group of guys around here. It's a good core of new guys that we have. And we are bringing over 15 new faces, obviously, you're going to go one way or the other. One way meaning everyone is going to latch on together and take off, or guys are going to kind of do their own thing. ''The great chemistry and the bonding that we have done through spring and even with the ''Harlem Shake,'' as cheesy as that was, it was just a team building exercise. Now we're all trying to get to the point where we're all trying to gain loyalty together and trust.'' Swisher is already a big fan of his new manager, Terry Francona. He was happy to hear that Francona will use him as a designated hitter to get him some added rest. ''I have never had that ever in my life. To have a manager really looking out for you like that just makes coming to the ballpark awesome every single day. And not only that: it makes you want to run through a brick wall every time you get the opportunity because you got a guy like that backing you,'' said Swisher. ''It's my 10th year in the league, so I am happy. It took me 10 years to get this so now that I do have it I guess I can appreciate it that much more. I'll take that,'' said Swisher, who is hitting .288 with two home runs and a .405 on base percentage. The outfielder is in the first season of a four-year, $56 million dollar contract. ''I knew a lot of things going on behind the scenes during the free agency process and everything that was told to me has happened. It makes you really want to believe in a front office because what they tell you is exactly what they're doing,'' said Swisher. The Indians expect to get some added depth at catcher soon. Lou Marson joined the team Tuesday. Francona did not say if he would be activated from the disabled list before the game. He was out with a strained neck. He hit .226 last season in 70 games Tuesday's game was the third postponement for the Indians and Swisher doesn't expect any wear and tear when the doubleheaders add up. ''No. We get paid to play this game. This is what we all love to do here. Hey, a doubleheader at the ballpark, what's better than that?'' NOTES: It was the second postponement on Chicago's current eight-game homestand due to inclement weather. ... It's also the fourth postponement in Chicago since the baseball season began three weeks ago. Two of the Cubs' home games have also been rescheduled due to rain or cold conditions.

Student Ambassador, University of Pennsylvania
It can sometimes get lonely, studying abroad alone and away from family. Most of my friends are also graduate students, and under as much academic pressure as me. It's not always easy for us to get together due to our different schedules. I struggled with loneliness and missed my cute parrot back home, so I decided to adopt a pet. I met Charley at the shelter- he needed a home, I needed a family. That's how my dog Charley became part of my life. I am genuinely grateful that Charley has been there for me.
Before Charley came into my life, I tended to stay up late and delay my morning routine. Now, each morning, Charley wakes me up early. After a light breakfast, we go jogging along the river. He's become my best workout buddy: I have to run faster to catch up with him than running alone, and since we started running together, my speed has improved a lot. Charley is a red Pomeranian and weighs about 11 pounds. That makes him a perfect dumbbell for me. He's so happy every time I lift him above my head. He looks up at the sky and then down into my eyes, and we smile at each other.
We cherish each other's company. We play Frisbee at Clark Park in the spring blossoms. I take him to outdoor movies at the Art Museum in the summer. In the autumn, we go jogging and enjoy each sunset on the Schuylkill River in the crisp air. For the snowy days in winter, we prefer to snuggle down on our comfortable sofa at home. I cannot imagine my life here without Charley. Every single day, he's in it.
Perhaps now you are tempted to adopt a pet as well. It is a big decision to bring an animal into your life, so before you do, ask yourself these questions:
- Are you really ready for a long term commitment and responsibility?
- Can you make enough time to keep your buddy company?
- Is your apartment or dormitory pet-friendly?
- If so, do you have any roommates? Do they agree with you adopting a pet?
Do you plan to continue staying in the country? If you leave, will you be able to take your buddy with you? Remember, a pet might not be able to travel with you given weight, size, or other restrictions.
Make sure you consider these questions before making the decision to adopt. If adopting a pet is right for you, I look forward to hearing your wonderful stories with your buddies someday!

This might seem odd: Why do Tim Tebow's Broncos, having played this weekend's last game, play again this Saturday?
And why do the Houston Texans, having won Saturday, get to wait until next Sunday for their next game?
As always with a league making billions in annual TV revenues, the answer is that TV scheduling considerations are paramount. The NFL all season has to be sensitive to scheduling given that its late-afternoon Sunday broadcasts on CBS and Fox usually produce the biggest ratings but it also try to set aside some matchups with national appeal for NBC and ESPN for Sunday and Monday primetime games.
And that sense of trying to be equitable with networks extends to the post-season. Sometimes a team can be an unexpected hit -- like Tebow's Broncos -- but the NFL's post-season scheduling, which was announced Jan. 1, gives both Fox and CBS late TV windows. (Later windows, in any sport, tend to get higher ratings.)
Both Fox -- with Giants-Packers Sunday (4:30 p.m. ET) -- and CBS -- with Broncos-Patriots Saturday (8 p.m. ET) -- get a late game this weekend. And the networks' AFC and NFC title games rotate annually -- Fox's NFC game is the late game this year.
Networks like the predictable scheduling in planning their promotions and NFL lead-ins. And if Denver gets five days of rest when Houston gets seven, well, that'll happen.
So no big conspiracy about the scheduling. But for the conspiratorially-minded check out this oddity.

While the transport sector contributes significantly to society and the economy it also can cause substantial adverse impacts on the environment, global climate and human health. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) analyses key environmental trends with a view to identifying what has improved and what has hampered the past performance of the transport sector.
Cities increasingly require and use natural resources and energy to sustain daily life and activities of the urban population. Their impacts are felt across the globe. But cities can also be designed and changed in ways to offer opportunities to reduce resource needs and environmental impacts. Three new reports by the European Environment Agency (EEA) take a closer look at what a resource-efficient city is and what cities can do to enhance urban sustainability while improving the well-being of their residents.
Fluorinated gases (F-gases) have been introduced as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances in many sectors, but they contribute significantly to climate change. The European Environment Agency (EEA) has today published a new report on their production, import and export, which contributes to tracking progress towards their phase-down.
Every year Europeans generate more than two billions of tonnes of waste, which does not only cause environmental problems but also represents an economic loss. Waste prevention lies at the centre of the European Union's policies on waste and Member States have a legal obligation to adopt and implement waste prevention programmes. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) reviews 27 national and regional waste prevention programmes adopted by the end of 2014.
An increasing number of initiatives and measures are being put in place to adapt to current and potential impacts of climate change at European, national, regional and local levels. It is now critical to understand better which actions work in which contexts and why. Where do countries stand in terms of tracking climate change adaptation in their territories? A new report by the European Environment Agency provides an overview of national monitoring, reporting and evaluation (MRE) systems in European countries.

I guess it is not too bright to go mano a mano with knives against a US Navy Seal? That is apparently what one of the 19 Somali pirates that hijacked the pleasure yacht "QUEST" tried to do today. As the Seals were clearing the ship, a confrontation with one of the pirates led to what is being described in the press as being a "knife fight".
I wonder what sort of a knife US Navy Seals carry? Anyone have an idea?
I am sort of surprised that a knife would even be used in this sort of circumstance. What possible tactical reason would there be to use a knife, as opposed to a handgun in a close quarters confrontation? Are knives really that effective a weapon?
Here is a photo of one of the two American Christian humanitarian couples that were sadly murdered by the pirates today:
One can only wonder when we and other nations are going to finally get serious about cracking down on these thugs. This is a terrible tragedy.
Here is a link to a detailed report by Time Magazine:

I read in the paper today these POS Pirates are currently holding 30 ships and more than 660 hostages, What ? I'd say it's way past time to do something.
I just don't understand why the US doesn't bring it too them. First of all, they can't hide their boats. They are too large to take out of the water. Why don't we do some low fly bys and blow everything that looks like a boat to smithereens. Then the pirates can stand on the shore and wave at the tankers and pleasure boats as they sail by. We need to quit wasting our time and lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and win one for a change.
The US NAVY SEALs are everything you see in the movies and BETTER. Yes a knife is quiet and effective when used by warriors like these.

The account I read on Fox's website paints a confusing story. One pirate was on our warship to "negotiate," while another fires an RPG at the warship from the yacht (it missed). Shortly after, gunfire breaks out in the carbin...some of the pirates run to the bow immediately with their hands up to surrender. Our SEALS board, and find two dead pirates, along with the dying Americans.
It seems that there was fighting among the pirates, from this report.
The problem with just "taking out" the pirates is the fact that they already hold so many hostages from nations all over the globe. We cannot unilaterally put those hostages at risk. Trying to get all those governments to agree on a course of action...good luck.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
Quite correct. They do carry the Emerson, and alot of them carry the Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto model. They like the folder better than the fixed blade models due to the compactness of the folder when hauling their gear.

This comparison between DreamHost and HostMonster is aimed at revealing the truth of their web hosting services based on price, feature, performance and technical support.
With our in-depth analyses, HostMonster is the better recommendable web hosting solution than DreamHost. In the following, we further explain the reasons why they are recommended with detailed analyses.
Before lifting the veil of web hosting services offered by these two companies, initially, we work out editorial ratings of them to help you get an overview at the very beginning.
Overall Ratings
Based on our real hosting experience in the past 3 months and feedbacks of hundreds of verified customers, we work out the following table of their editorial ratings, which manifests that HostMonster has won numerous recognition and recommendations from professional editors and customers. Please check the table in below for detailed ratings.
|Loading Speed
|Technical Support
|Learn More
|DreamHost Review
|HostMonster Review
It can be clearly seen from the above table that HostMonster is rated 5 out of 5 stars in overall. In the following analyses, we mainly focus on their prices, features, performance and technical support.
DreamHost web hosting is starting at $8.95/mo, but you should note that that's a regular price for 24-month billing cycle. Now, this plan costs $5.95/mo with the 34% discount, along with one free domain registration and domain privacy service.
In contrast, HostMonster is starting at $6.95/mo. With promotion, now all readers who click the exclusive promotional link as below can enjoy a 44% discount of the regular price which is down to $3.95/mo.
Please check the following table to get more specific information.
|Regular Price
|Discounted Price
|Money Back
|97 Days
|How to Claim
|Not Recommended
|Link Activation
Meanwhile, DreamHost offers 97 days money back guarantee which is only valid for credit cards payments. By comparison, HostMonster provides No Hidden Fee Guarantee and ANYTIME Money Back Guarantee, with which customers can enjoy worry-free purchase. More than that, it also offers some freebies including 1 free domain for 1 year, $100 Google Advertising credits, free site builder and so forth.
Hosting Features
In addition to some basic features including bandwidth, disk space, FTP accounts, PHP, HostMonster utilizes cPanel with which customers are able to simplify the administration of their domains, databases and files with the least time and energy. In this part, DreamHost offers a custom one that is not as user-friendly as cPanel.
Besides, HostMonster comes with some advanced features that are not supported by DreamHost such as override .htaccess support, custom cronjobs, PostgreSQL database server, and so forth. Please check the following table to get more specific information.
|Plan in Comparison
|Happy Hosting
|Operating System
|Debian Linux
|Linux CentOS
|Website Space
|Monthly Bandwidth
|Email Storage
|PHP 5 Support
|1-Click App Installer
DreamHost doesn't own a data center by itself. Instead, it cooperates with a Los Angeles-based collocation provider for data center service. By contrast, HostMonster locates 3 dedicated data centers in Utah which are equipped with 4 separate physical fiber lines with 5000+ servers making the bandwidth surpasses 150,000 MBits.
In the past 30 days, we have hosted 2 websites on their servers respectively. As a result, these two companies all deliver an outstanding uptime. Please refer to the following list for specific statistics.
- DreamHost: averages 99.92% uptime in the past 30 days;
- HostMonster: delivers 99.98% uptime in the past month;
At the same time, we also monitor their server response time using Pingdom with a 5 minutes interval. The result shows that DreamHost takes 500ms. To be honest, this server response time is not excellent and is 46% slower than that of HostMonster. The gap can be seen from the following chart.
Technical Support
Both DreamHost and HostMonster offer technical support via various channels including phone, live chat, email etc.. Also, customers can seek help and address some common technical issues via knowledge base, video tutorial, user forum and so forth. The key difference rests with service fees.
HostMonster offers 24/7 US-based technical support for free, whereas DreamHost only offers free support via email. So if customers need phone and live chat support, they need to purchase Premium support which includes 3 phone callbacks and unlimited live chat but costs $14.95 per month.
Conclusion – HostMonster Recommended
From the comprehensive DreamHost VS HostMonster comparison above, both of the two companies have rich features and high uptime. However, HostMonster offers free technical support at a reasonable price of $3.95/mo, along with the faster speed. Here is a chart revealing the statistics of HostMonster customer reviews.

K12PaymentCenter Online Payment System for School Meals
The School Nutrition Department implemented a new software and (POS) Point-of-Sale system this school year 2016-2017 called MealsPlus. MealsPlus has so many tools and features that will help us to meet all of our food service management needs.
Some of its positive features for our students is that once they have been issued A PIN number (to be used in order to access their meal account when they go through the meal service line) they will continue with that same number throughout their time here in Washington County and K12PaymentCenter allows deposits to multiple students accounts with one transaction fee for $1.95. To get us started with MealsPlus, all students will receive a new PIN number this school year. A card has been printed for each student listing their new number and will be issued to them either at registration or on the first day of school. If you make Pre-Payments by check, please reference this number in the bottom left corner of your check. We believe that MealsPlus will be easy to use and navigate for our staff and will allow us to move the students through our lines more efficiently thus giving them a little extra time to enjoy their meals and chat with friends. Please view the flyer for more information. We are looking forward to another GREAT! School Year and being able to serve you and your Students. Thank you!

As gun grabbers continue to creep toward a firearm-less (except for the criminals of course) nation, there are still gun loving Americans trying to hold on to our Constitutional rights. Recently echoing that sentiment, was the state of Georgia that just passed a landmark decision that actually loosened gun control in the state.
The Safe Carry Protection Act was signed today from bill to law by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. Already being hailed, "a historic victory for the 2nd Amendment," by the NRA, the Safe Carry Protection Act has actually allowed more rights to gun carrying Americans.
According to Deal, "People who follow the rules can protect themselves and their families from people who don't follow the rules. The Second Amendment should never be an afterthought. It should reside at the forefronts of our minds."
(See also: Police Discover Loaded Gun In Woman's Vagina)
The law actually takes aim at allowing citizens the right to defend themselves in the most places possible. Now allowing residents the right to carry firearms in places they were previously banned, here's a list of just a few:
Bars and Restaurants: Gun owners may bring a gun into an establishment unless directly requested by the owner that they leave. The previous law required owners to specifically state whether or not they would allow guns inside.
Places of worship: Churches may allow guns onto their premises, whereas before it was illegal under any circumstance.
Schools: Teachers and staff may request to be allowed to bring guns to campus, and after a school board approval, will be be required to go through a training process.
Airports: Having a permitted gun in public areas will be allowed and if confiscated at a checkpoint, the gun will be returned without penalty. TSA checkpoints, as they are under federal authority, do not apply.
Government buildings: Guns will be allowed in all unsecured state and local buildings, however they will not be allowed in any buildings with security checkpoints. This was designed for rural areas that do not have a formal security perimeter, usually due to financial constraints.
Databases and fingerprinting: There will be no statewide database of gun owners and the previous fingerprint requirement for licenses was removed.
Now we all know that legislation like this gets Liberal's panties in a twist, but you just have to love the Americanism around such a law. Clearly defending what our forefathers set before us amongst recent demonizing in the name of tolerance, is not only commendable, it restores a little bit of faith that was lost in America.

text: I have an opportunity to purchase a used Faroudja LD1000 laserdisc player, but it does not have a manual, nor can I locate any information about it on the web. Can anyone provide any information about the unit to let me know what made it cost $5000 when new (aside from the Faroudja name)? Did it have a line doubler built-in or anything? Widescreen Review did a review of it their March 1999 issue (Issue 31), so does anyone have that issue that could scan the pages and let me know so I can find out about the unit? I'm thinking of replacing my Pioneer CLD-97 with it, if it turns out to be a good deal and a good unit. Thanks in advance! Bob

UPDATE 1-Allies of Brazil's Rousseff see leadership vacuum as economy sinks
(Adds pot banging during Rousseff, Lula, party commercial)
By Anthony Boadle
BRASILIA Aug 6 (Reuters) - Allies of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff have begun talking with her opponents about filling what they see as a leadership vacuum and her inability to pull the country out of an economic tailspin, party insiders said on Thursday.
Two parties broke ranks with Rousseff's governing coalition on Wednesday night, fueling a lopsided defeat on a lower chamber bill raising salaries for police officers, prosecutors and government attorneys. Even Rousseff's own Workers' Party voted for the spending bill.
The president's failure to control her political base in Congress, dramatized by House Speaker Eduardo Cunha's own very public break with Rousseff, has undermined her efforts to bridge a gaping fiscal deficit that threatens Brazil's prized investment grade credit rating.
A widening political kickbacks scandal involving contracts at state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro has weakened Rousseff, put her leftist party against the ropes and rattled her allies, some of whom are suspected of receiving bribes.
It is the worst economic downturn in 25 years that has undercut confidence in her leadership and raised public support for the idea of impeaching Rousseff just six months into her second term.
Vice President Michel Temer warned of the gravity of the situation during a news conference at the presidential palace on Wednesday, as he made a plea for unity to rescue the country from economic crisis.
Even as Temer sought to keep Rousseff's coalition from further disintegrating, though, fellow members of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), her main ally, dined with senators of the opposition Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) to discuss a pact to fill the leadership vacuum.

For Our World: A Child's Profound Reflections on 9/11
I saw the World Trade Center only once. It was 1998 or 1999. It had been a number of years since I'd visited New York City; but when our youngest son Jerry began working at an airline, I took advantage of my "parent privileges" (in those innocent pre-9/11 days, parents of employees could fly for $30/roundtrip) and the two of us set off for a day trip to the Big Apple. We planned to see the sights, visit a museum, enjoy lunch and dinner—then head back home to Michigan.At some point—was … [Read more...]

Picture: Lily Allen Swarovski Fashion Rocks held at the Royal Albert Hall - Arrivals London, England - 18.10.07
The three authors who comprise the shortlist for the 2008 Orange Award for new female writers have been confirmed.
One British author is up against an American writer and a South Africa-based scribe for the award, the winner of which will be named on June 4th.
Arts Council England offers the winner a £10,000 bursary as part of the prize, which is offered to any female authors writing their first work of fiction in English.
Joanna Kavenna's Inglorious is nominated alongside The Monsters of Templeton, by American author Lauren Groff, and The Voluptuous Delights of Butter and Jam, written by Lauren Liebenberg, who set her novel in 1970s Rhodesia - now Zimbabwe - where she spent her childhood.
Shami Chakrabati, who chairs this year's judging panel paid tribute to the three writers shortlisted, adding: "These three books are truly ambitious in scope and reflect the international nature of this prize."
Ms Chakrabati, director of human rights organisation Liberty, said the wealth of talent among female authors meant deciding on a shortlist of three was a "huge challenge".
The announcement followed the news that singer Lily Allen has withdrawn from the judging panel for the main award, the Orange Prize for Fiction, due to "ill health".
"Rather than do a disservice to what she sees as an incredible array of female literary talent, it has been agreed that she will withdraw before the final judging takes place," a spokesperson explained.
"Lily hopes that her withdrawal will not detract from the huge importance of the Orange Prize and sends her sincere apologies to her fellow judges and to the individual authors."

Video Games vs. Other Entertainment Mediums- Part 2
By Gamer_152 33 Comments
Note: This blog is a continuation of Video Games vs. Other Entertainment Mediums- Part 1.
The Real Effect of the Debate
Obviously, for some, clear reasoning over whether games are art wasn't ever going to happen, because while there have been people contributing to the "are games art?" debate with intellectual and thought-provoking points, there have also been many who wanted games to be accepted as an art form so that they could feel more grown-up and validated in enjoying their favoured pastime, and try and feel as though their medium was more part of the mainstream. Personally, I think even if you're looking for wide-spread validation of your love of video games, working out whether they are or can be art might help you feel more secure in your own opinion, but it's never going to change the opinion of the masses.
If hypothetically, a consensus on this debate was reached in favour of video games being art, it might bump up their social standing among some circles, but most people wouldn't even be aware of the debate or care if video games were art. The majority of people out there aren't seeking out art specifically to entertain themselves; they're just after whatever they enjoy. Most people don't care that much if the television they watch or the music they listen to is art, they just consume whatever gives them personally, the most pleasure. In fact, in some cases something being labelled as art can make it seem less accessible to people than it otherwise would have been, and the last thing video games need is more barriers between them and the general public.
This kind of debate is never going to lead to some overnight revolution in the place of video games in peoples' daily lives. Of course that doesn't mean we should dismiss the games as art debate entirely. When taken on in the right way for the right reasons it's a legitimately interesting topic and one that's very relevant to the video game entertainment medium. I see a lot of people bashing the games as art debates and while I can understand people being tired of endless repetitive discussions on it that don't really go anywhere, there's no need to put down people who are genuinely engaged in the topic. If you don't want to discuss it just leave the "games as art" forum threads alone and move on.
Bad Examples and Bad Arguments Against Games
Unfortunately, on the other side of the argument from "Games are absolutely art and should be treated as such so my opinion can be validated" is the view that anyone treating games with the slightest modicum of seriousness, or saying that they can measure up to other entertainment mediums is being ridiculous. There are a lot of people who say that because games haven't tackled complex social, political or personal issues in the way that other entertainment mediums have, that they just can't be taken seriously. Personally I think the question of how well video games can speak to us about major human issues and how well they're doing so right now is an even more important and interesting question than whether they are art, but the way the argument over this is often handled carries its own set of problems.
I think some fail to acknowledge that while there are many works in movies, books, music, etc. that deal with deep introspection, analysis or delivering a message, there are countless examples of works in these mediums that are largely for or entirely for the simple purpose of entertaining people. Just as those over-zealously championing video games as a perfect medium hold up Bioshock and Heavy Rain as if they were the norm in video games, so many seem to ignore the enormous body of television shows, movies , books, etc. which come out every year with no greater purpose than to provide a pleasurable short-term experience.
Of course there's nothing wrong with any entertainment that does this, we just have to acknowledge its existence. Not every video game may be hammering home a highly intellectual, thought-provoking story but they're certainly not alone in that regard. Whatever games are doing with story now also doesn't reflect their potential ability for how well they may do in the future. To repeat the old games discussion trope, this is a medium still in its infancy.
Where Games Really Fall Short
Many seem to make the point that because video games cannot deliver on narrative as strongly as other mediums such as movies or books, that they are therefore inferior. I think this argument begins to challenge a very real issue, but I think the people making this argument often don't understand why narrative is important for games specifically. Narrative should not and does not exist for its own sake, narrative is simply a means to an end and that end is evoking emotion in the person consuming the entertainment. Works like paintings and music often have little to no narrative, but this isn't a problem because they find other ways to evoke emotion in people. Similarly, when video games can evoke emotion through means other than narrative, they should receive just as much praise and respect as any other medium doing the same, but as I see it video games have two major problems in this regard.
Gameplay is of course, is the crux of the medium, it's the core of a game, and everything else is built around it, and gameplay is very good at evoking certain emotions such as fun, competitiveness, triumph, satisfaction, productivity, etc. but gameplay alone can't evoke the kind of emotional range the elements from movies, books, music etc. do, and so games need narrative among other things to attain this emotional range. Games are also often reliant on narrative to justify the mix of gameplay and thematic content the player is presented with and as mentioned earlier, if games are to get across meaningful messages and explore serious issues in an intelligent manner they're probably going to be much better equipped to do so with a strong narrative backing them up.
The fact that some games exist with little to no narrative is not a problem, these works can be appreciated for what they are, just like music or pictures can. The fact that very few games in the medium as a whole are able to use narrative effectively is a problem, because it means the medium as a whole lacks emotional range and the ability to deliver deeper human experiences. What may be an even bigger problem though is that not only does the medium carry inherent properties that make it difficult to craft a high-quality narrative around its other components, but the industry also lacks motivation to move forward in terms of narrative with their main target demographic for story-based games being 18-35 males who are fairly contented with lacking action-movie style storylines. Raising the bar for narrative in video games may not sound like that big a deal, but it's an issue that deals with uncharted territory and the only way around it would be to take risks which could not only end poorly for the people financing games but also for the people developing games.
Using the Right Measuring Stick
To make one last slight defence in favour of video games; despite the big problem they have with narrative in general, I occasionally see people comparing individual games to other story-based mediums and proclaiming that the individual game is inferior to the other medium in terms of quality because its narrative isn't as good. This is not fair; movies, books and television rely on narrative to deliver a positive experience to a much greater extent than games do. While general statements about the shortcomings of games in regards to narrative are entirely valid, a video game thrives on gameplay, we know this, and just because a video game cannot measure up narratively, if it still holds up in terms of gameplay and sometimes other elements such as graphics, audio, etc. then there's it can still be a work of some considerable quality.
In fact in some cases it seems like people feel they have to appreciate video games in a solely tongue in-cheek way because of their relative shortfalls and their frequently over-the-top narrative and thematic content. I think this is perfectly sensible to some degree, but when it comes to gameplay, music, environments, and things games can pull off well, even in comparison to other mediums, there's nothing wrong with standing up and saying "I like this video game on a serious level".
Duder, It's Over
Overall, when we compare video games with other entertainment mediums I think we need a wider, more thorough, and more realistic analysis of both sides involved. As hard as it may be to face up to some of the shortfalls or the lack of popularity of video games, trying to hide them and pretend they're not there, or pretend that video games are more successful than they are only makes you look bad and says that you don't like video games, you like some idealised alternate version of video games that you've created in your head. Arguing unrealistically in favour of video games won't make them any more popular and if the medium is to come into its own it won't do so overnight.
On the other side of the argument though, we should not scrutinise games as if they were other forms of entertainment and it's okay to give love and respect to video games. As always, thank you for reading.

Gilead Sciences Inc. said today that its drug Viread had been granted approval from the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating patients with H.I.V.
Viread could offer a much-needed option for patients whose strain of H.I.V. has mutated to resist combinations of existing medicines, Gilead officials said.
These patients make up the vast majority of people with H.I.V. in the United States, and many of them are running out of treatment alternatives, the company said.
The F.D.A. approved Viread for use in combination with other H.I.V. drugs.Continue reading the main story

Question about Makita 3/8" Dr. 14.4V Cordless Drill Kit
Alright the deal is that the motor seems to be struggling to run at optimum speed in the low or high position. I checked batteries and they get a full charge. I checked the brushes and cleaned them but still no difference, all I can think now is that the motor itself is worn out.
What do you think it could be.
When you pull the trigger on the drill it starts up very slowly and runs at maybe 500rpm max.
Posted by faststrat on
same problem except that the drill has only been used about 10 times for routine duties. Hard to believe that the motor is worn out in this case. Makita would not repair as they no longer make parts for this model. Anything I can try before IT eds up in the garbage?
I used to pull these drills to bits for a living and all i can say is that if the brushes are intact and not too worn then it should run fine without cleaning the brushes. chances are that the motor has worn out.
