Cormac's Chapel: Sarcophagus
A beautifully-carved sarcophagus in Cormac's Chapel (1134) that may be the tomb of King Cormac himself, or perhaps his brother and predecessor, Tadhg (d.1124). Its decoration is in the Hiberno-Scandinavian Urnes style of the early 12th century, featuring interlaced beasts and serpents. The sarcophagus probably originally stood in the 12th-century cathedral, which no longer survives. The sarcophagus was discovered in the north transept of the present cathedral in the 19th century. Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.

A look at the congressional budget agreement
A proposed congressional budget agreement would avoid a government shutdown in January and set spending for defense and domestic programs. It would:
—Establish overall non-war-related discretionary spending for the current fiscal year at $1.012 trillion and $1.014 trillion for fiscal 2015. Discretionary spending is the money approved by Congress each year for agency operations. The House budget level had been $967 billion and the Senate $1.058 trillion for the year that runs through next Sept. 30. Fiscal 2013 discretionary spending was $986 billion.
—Ease the across-the-board "sequester" spending cuts by $63 billion over two years, split between defense and domestic programs. In the current fiscal year, defense would be set at a base budget of $520.5 billion and domestic programs at $491.8 billion.
—Increase airline security fees from $5 to $11.20 for a typical round-trip ticket starting July 1, 2014. That would raise $13 billion over 10 years. Current fees are $2.50 per leg with a maximum fee of $10 for a round-trip with connecting flights or $5 for a nonstop round-trip fare.
—Reduce retirement benefits for working-age military retirees. The cost-of-living adjustment would be modified equal to inflation minus 1 percent. The changes would be phased in, with no change in the current year, a 0.25 percent reduction in December 2014 and a 0.5 percent decrease in December 2015. The change would not apply to retirees who left the service because of disability or injury. It would apply to retirees under the age of 62. The change would save $6 billion.
—Increase by 1.3 percentage points the pension contributions paid by federal civilian workers hired after Jan. 1, 2014. Raise $6 billion.
—Restrict access to Social Security death records to prevent identity thieves from filing fraudulent tax returns. Save $269 million.
—Raise premiums paid by corporations to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp. to guarantee pension benefits. Raise $8 billion.
—Eliminate a requirement that the Maritime Administration reimburse other federal agencies for additional costs associated with shipping food aid on U.S. ships. Saves $731 million.
—Cancel $1.6 billion in unobligated balances in Justice and Treasury Department funds that seize assets from criminals.
—Cap the maximum government payment for contract employees at $487,000, indexed to inflation. Agencies could make exceptions for scientists, engineers and other specialists.
—Give the Treasury Department greater access to prison data to prevent prisoners from claiming improper payments. Saves. $80 million.
—Approve a U.S.-Mexico agreement on oil and gas exploration in waters outside their exclusive economic zones.
—Permanently extend a requirement that states receiving mineral lease payments contribute to the federal government's administrative costs. Saves $415 million.
—Extend Bureau of Customs and Border Protection user fees. Raises $7 billion.
AP-GfK poll: Low approval of Congress, Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — Heading into a congressional election year, Americans hold Congress in strikingly low regard, and nearly two-thirds say they would like to see their House member replaced, a new poll finds.
Even though Americans are feeling somewhat better about the economy — and their personal finances — elected officials in Washington aren't benefiting from the improved mood, the Associated Press-GfK poll found.
President Barack Obama's approval rating was negative: 58 percent disapprove of the job he's doing as president, while 42 percent approve.
Obama isn't running for office again, however, whereas all 435 House seats and one-third of the Senate's seats are on the ballot next November. And nearly 9 in 10 adults disapprove of the way lawmakers are handling their jobs.
The low opinions of Congress don't necessarily signal major power shifts next year in the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate. House Democrats need to gain at least 17 net seats to claim the majority. But many House districts are so solidly liberal or conservative that incumbents can withstand notable drops in popularity and keep their seats.
Republicans hope to gain six Senate seats overall to retake control of that chamber for the last two years of Obama's presidency.
On one major issue, most Americans continue to favor providing a path to legal status for millions of immigrants living here illegally. Fifty-five percent support it, and 43 percent oppose. The Senate passed a major immigration bill that would provide a legalization path. But the House has sidelined the issue so far.
Despite the relatively low opinions of Congress and Obama, the national mood is not quite as bleak as it was in October, when partisan stalemate led to a 16-day partial government shutdown and fears of a possible default.
More Americans now say things are heading in the right direction and the economy is improving, the AP-GfK poll found. But those figures are still fairly anemic, below 40 percent.
Congressional approval stands at 13 percent, with 86 percent of adults disapproving. That sentiment holds across party lines: 86 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents disapprove.
Democrats have a slim edge as the party Americans would prefer to control Congress, 39 percent to 33 percent. But a sizable 27 percent say it doesn't matter who's in charge.
In a sign of public discontent, 62 percent of registered voters say they'd like someone new to win their congressional district next year, while 37 percent support their incumbent's re-election.
That's a worrisome trend for incumbents' campaigns. Four years ago, polls by NBC News/Wall Street Journal and Marist found fewer than half of Americans wanting their own representative ousted.
When elected officials are dropped from the equation, the public mood brightens a bit, the new poll found. The share of adults saying things in this country are heading in the right direction has climbed 12 percentage points since the government shutdown, to 34 percent. Still, almost twice as many, 66 percent, say things are heading the wrong way.
Independents, who can be crucial in general elections when persuaded to vote, share the modestly growing optimism. Whereas 82 percent of independents said the country was headed in the wrong direction in October, the number now is 69 percent.
Ratings of the economy have also improved since October. Still, 68 percent of adults say the U.S. economy is in bad shape, down slightly from 73 percent in October.
More adults now say they expect improvement in their household's financial standing in the coming year: 30 percent, compared with 24 percent in October. More also say it's a good time to make major purchases, although the number is an unimpressive 19 percent.
Megan Barnes of Columbia, Md., is among those who see an uptick in their own finances but give scant credit to politicians.
"I think the economy seems to be fairly stable, and for my family in the future, it's going to be OK," said Barnes, 32, a stay-at-home mom married to a software engineer.
She said she strongly disapproves of Congress and leans toward disapproval of Obama.
In Congress, Barnes said, "I'd like to see people put their jobs on the line to get things done, and not worry about the next election." A moderate Republican, Barnes said she would like to see someone replace her congressman, Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings.
As for Obama, she said it's troubling that he seemed to know little about the National Security Agency's spying on international allies or the serious problems in the rollout of his sweeping health care law. "He also doesn't seem to really work with the Congress a lot, even with his own party, to build consensus and get things done," Barnes said.
Americans have grown skeptical of some of the personal attributes the president relied on to win re-election in 2012. The new poll finds just 41 percent think he's decisive, 44 percent see him as strong and 45 percent call him inspiring. On honesty, he's lost ground since October. Now, 56 percent say the word "honest" does not describe Obama well.
Nearly half of American adults have an unfavorable impression of Obama, and 46 percent have a favorable impression.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Dec. 5-9 using KnowledgePanel, GfK's probability-based online panel. It involved online interviews with 1,367 adults. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents.
Using probability sampling methods, KnowledgePanel is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Respondents to the survey were first selected randomly using phone or mail survey methods and were later interviewed for this survey online. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn't otherwise have access to the Internet were provided with the ability to access the Internet at no cost to them.

Former US Congressman Ike Skelton dead at 81
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Former Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton, a champion of the military who served 17 terms in the U.S. House before losing a re-election bid in 2010, has died. He was 81.
Skelton died Monday at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., surrounded by family and friends, including longtime colleague Russell Orban.
The cause was not immediately released, but Orban says Skelton entered the hospital a week earlier with a cough. Oban confirmed Skelton's death to The Associated Press.
The Lexington, Mo., native was a Democrat and former chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
Skelton lost to Republican Vicky Hartzler in 2010 in western Missouri's 4th Congressional District. He then joined the law firm of Kansas City-based Husch Blackwell, working in its offices in Kansas City and Washington.
Lt. Governor Kinder eyeing Congressional run
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder is moving toward a possible Congressional race.
The Southeast Missourian reported Tuesday that Kinder has formed a congressional exploratory committee for the 8th Congressional District. He says the committee's purpose is to forecast support for his potential candidacy. Kinder is serving his third term as lieutenant governor
Republican Jason Smith, of Salem, currently represents the 8th Congressional District. Smith beat out Kinder and several others earlier this year for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson after she resigned. Smith was picked by an 84-person committee of local Republican leaders.
Missouri's 8th Congressional District appears on the 2014 ballot.
Obama must address skeptics, lawmakers about Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is holding its first public hearing about U.S. plans for military intervention in Syria as President Barack Obama seeks to convince skeptical Americans and their lawmakers about the need to respond to last month's alleged sarin gas attack outside Damascus.
Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey were to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. A classified briefing open to all members of Congress was to take place as well.
The president's request for congressional authorization for limited military strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is at the heart of all the discussions planned in Washington over the next several days as Obama sends his top national security advisers to the Capitol for a flurry of briefings. And with the outcome of any vote in doubt in a war-weary Congress, Obama was to meet Tuesday with leaders of the House and Senate armed services committees, the foreign relations committees and the intelligence committees.
Obama won conditional support Monday from two of his fiercest foreign policy critics, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
A congressional vote against Obama's request "would be catastrophic in its consequences" for U.S. credibility abroad, McCain told reporters outside the White House following an hour-long private meeting with the president.
But despite Obama's effort to assuage the two senators' concerns, neither appeared completely convinced afterward. They said they'd be more inclined to back Obama if the U.S. sought to destroy the Assad government's launching capabilities and committed to providing more support to rebels seeking to oust Assad from power.
"There will never be a political settlement in Syria as long as Assad is winning," Graham said.
After a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, polls show most Americans opposed to any new military action overseas. That reluctance is being reflected by senators and representatives, some of whom say Obama still hasn't presented bulletproof evidence that Assad's forces were responsible for the Aug. 21 attack that U.S. intelligence says killed 1,429 people, including more than 400 children. Others say the president hasn't explained why intervening is in America's interest.
After a Labor Day weekend spent listening to concerned constituents, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said the administration needed to make its case on these points, if only to counter the misinformation and conspiracy theories circulating about Obama's plans.
"Several people asked me if we were only interested in getting Syria's oil," Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It's important that Americans get the facts."
Petroleum is hardly the most pertinent question. Even before Syria's hostilities began, its oil industry contributed less than half a percent of the world's total output. And Obama has expressly ruled out sending American troops into Syria or proposing deeper involvement in the Arab country's violent civil war.
But such queries are a poignant reminder of the task awaiting the administration as it argues that the United States must exert global leadership in retaliating for what apparently was the deadliest use of chemical weapons anywhere over the past 25 years.
Obama has insisted he was considering a military operation that was limited in duration and scope. The White House said Monday that Obama was open to working with Congress to make changes in the language of the resolution, which Congress was expected to begin considering next week.
In a conference call Monday with House Democrats, several members of Obama's own party challenged the administration's assertions.
In a post on his website, Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., reflected a view shared by at least some of his colleagues: "I am vehemently opposed to a military strike that would clearly be an act of war against Syria, especially under such tragic yet confusing circumstances as to who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons."
Their skepticism is shared by many tea party Republicans and others, whose views range from ideological opposition to any U.S. military action overseas to narrower fears about authorizing the use of force without clear constraints on timing, costs and scope of the intervention.
The most frequent recurring questions: How convinced is American intelligence about the Assad regime's culpability for the chemical attack, a decade after woefully misrepresenting the case that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction? And how does a military response advance U.S. national security interests?
Pressuring the administration in the opposite direction are hawks and proponents of humanitarian intervention among both Democrats and Republicans who feel what Obama is proposing is far too little.
Obama's task is complicated further because he is leaving for a three-day trip to Europe on Tuesday night, visiting Stockholm, Sweden, and then attending an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The simple case for action is the administration's contention that the sarin gas attack violated not only the international standard against using such weapons but also Obama's "red line," set more than a year ago, that such WMD use wouldn't be tolerated.
Intervening in Syria's conflict is no light matter, however. Having claimed more than 100,000 lives in the past 2½ years, the fight has evolved from a government crackdown on a largely peaceful protest movement into a full-scale civil war scarily reminiscent of the one that ravaged Iraq over the last decade. Ethnic massacres have been committed by both sides, which each employ terrorist organizations as allies.
Since Obama's stunning announcement Saturday that he'd seek congressional authority, dozens of members of Congress have issued statements. Most have praised the administration for its course of action, and several have suggested they are leaning one way or another. But precious few have come out definitively one way or another.
McCain said he believed many members were still "up for grabs."
Congress seeks answers from Obama on Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wary of another war, congressional Republicans and Democrats pressed President Barack Obama to explain why the U.S. military should attack Syria and involve Americans in a deadly civil conflict that has roiled the Mideast.
"What is the intended effect of the potential military strikes?" House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote the president on Wednesday as the drumbeat of war grew louder.
Exasperated members of the House and Senate said the president has failed to make a case for U.S. military action against Syria despite the administration's conclusion that the Syrian government carried out a large-scale chemical weapons attack against civilians last week.
The administration signaled Wednesday that it would act against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital of Damascus on Aug. 21.
Some lawmakers insisted that Obama, despite his standing as commander in chief, cannot unilaterally order military action against Syria without congressional authorization.
The president said in a PBS interview Wednesday that he had not made a decision about how the United States would respond.
In his letter, Boehner underscored that he has been supportive of administration policy to date as Obama has called for Syrian President Bashar Assad to resign and insisted that the use of deadly chemical weapons would be a gross violation of international norms.
Boehner wrote that in light of the administration's contention that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons against its people, Obama should provide "a clear, unambiguous explanation of how military action — which is a means, not a policy — will secure U.S. objectives."
The administration was planning a teleconference briefing Thursday on Syria for leaders of the House and Senate and national security committees, U.S. officials and congressional aides said. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, complained in a letter to Obama on Tuesday that informal briefings and conversations with administration officials have focused on the general situation in Syria and included no discussions of steps being considered or a comprehensive strategy.
Boehner asked Obama to "personally make the case to the American people and Congress for how potential military action will secure American national security interests, preserve American credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons, and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy."
The speaker also pressed the president to provide a legal justification for any U.S. military action.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House to Boehner's request.
In the House, 98 Republicans and 18 Democrats have signed a letter to Obama demanding that he seek congressional authorization for any military action against Syria. The letter written by Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., argues that intervention without a direct threat to the United States and without Congress' approval would be unconstitutional.
Washington Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, cautioned that an attack might be ineffective and draw the United States into the Syrian civil war, now in its third year.
"Simply lashing out with military force under the banner of 'doing something' will not secure our interests in Syria," Smith said in a statement.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he informed the administration that he could not support any military strike against Syria unless Obama presents a detailed strategy to Congress and provides a defense budget to support any action.
An increasing number of lawmakers have asked what would be the end result of U.S. military intervention against a Mideast country where the Assad government and rebel forces have struggled for more than two years, with an estimated 100,000 killed and millions displaced.
"The war in Syria has no clear national security connection to the United States and victory by either side will not necessarily bring into power people friendly to the United States," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.
In his letter, Boehner raised 14 questions that he asked Obama to answer, including what the administration would do if Syria retaliates against U.S. allies in the region, whether the administration would launch additional military strikes if the initial ones proved ineffective and what was the intended effect of such a step.
Boehner alluded to the 10-plus years of fighting in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and the need for the administration to have strong public and congressional support for U.S. involvement in a Mideast war.
"Our military, as well as their families, deserve to have the confidence that we collectively have their backs — and a thorough strategy in place," the speaker wrote.
U.S. House approves compromise bridge name
Local political leaders are it calling an impressive display of bipartisan support and compromise. The U.S. House on Tuesday voted to name the new Interstate-70 bridge over the Mississippi River as the "Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge."
Missouri lawmakers had wanted to name the span after the Cardinal's legend. Illinois lawmakers had wanted to name the bridge to honor veterans. Tuesday's 395-to-2 House vote would do both.
The measure now moves on the U.S. Senate.
Missouri congressional candidates will debate next month
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - Candidates to replace U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri's 8th Congressional District will debate next month at Southeast Missouri State University.
The university announced Tuesday that the 90-minute live debate will air at 6:30 p.m. May 28 on KFVS-TV. It also will be webcast on the Southeast Missourian's website.
All four candidates running in the June 4 special election will participate. They are Jason Smith, a Republican; Steve Hodges, a Democrat; Bill Slantz, a Libertarian; and Doug Enyart, the Constitution Party. Because seating is limited, tickets will be distributed by each candidate's campaign headquarters.
Missouri's 8th District stretches from the outer suburbs of St. Louis south to the Missouri Bootheel and west to the Ozark hills.
Emerson resigned in January to lead a national association of rural electric cooperatives.
Report finds lax oversight of specialty pharmacies
WASHINGTON (AP) - A congressional investigation finds that specialty pharmacies like the one that triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak last year have little state oversight.
The report being released Monday by House Democrats shows that most states do not track or routinely inspect compounding pharmacies and that pharmacy boards in nearly all 50 states lack the information and expertise they need.
Missouri and Mississippi were the only two states that require permits or licenses and also the only ones with complete data on how many facilities they had.
None of the states indicated that they track whether pharmacies sell compounded drugs across state lines or in large quantities. Twenty-two states said they do not keep histories of problems.
Compounding pharmacies mix customized medications based on doctors' prescriptions. There have been calls for more federal oversight.
Missouri Democrats choose Steve Hodges for congress
The Southeast Missourian reported that he earned 39 votes during his party's meeting in Poplar Bluff. De Soto funeral home director Todd Mahn got 27 votes, and former Blodgett mayor Markel Fitchpatrick earned only two votes.
Hodges, 64, of East Prairie, is a former grocery store owner and high school sports referee who spent a dozen years on a local school board and first won election to the Missouri House in 2006. Only after other likely candidates bowed out did he belatedly enter the race Wednesday night to run in a June 4 special election against Republican state Rep. Jason Smith, who was nominated by his party last weekend.
In accepting the nomination, Hodges recalled his son Andrew's valedictorian address at West Point. "He said opportunities sometimes only come along once in your life," Hodges said. "And he said it's your choice to decide whether to accept that opportunity or let it pass. I thought about it a great deal for several days this week and I thought I think God is presenting this as an opportunity for me. So I need to decide whether this is something I should take advantage of or let pass by because it's not going to happen again."
Missouri's 8th District stretches across 30 counties, from the outer suburbs of St. Louis south to the agricultural-base of the Missouri Bootheel and west to the rolling Ozark hills. The district's residents are the poorest and least educated in Missouri, with a median household income of less than $36,000 and more than 85 percent lacking bachelor's degrees. For 32 years, much of the area had been represented by either Bill Emerson or Jo Ann Emerson, who succeeded her husband after he died in 1996. Jo Ann Emerson resigned Jan. 22 to become president and CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. Although of opposite political parties, Hodges praised the Emersons and vowed to continue their legacies of supporting labor and agriculture. He also stressed the need to balance the budget.
Hodges described Smith, the Republican nominee, as a friend and said he hoped to conduct the campaign as friends. "That was the way I was reared," he said. "But in politics as Gov. (Jay) Nixon has said, `There is no second place.' There are only winners and losers, and I hope to give you a winner."
Smith, an attorney, farmer and real estate partner, won a special election to the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2005. Because of term limits, Smith, 32, is now one of the most senior members of the chamber. After serving as majority party whip, his colleagues elected him in January as House speaker pro tem - the No. 2 ranking position.

Men's Soccer Downs Lenoir-Rhyne 1-0
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University men's soccer team knew going into Tuesday's game with Lenoir-Rhyne that they would need to control the ball as much as possible and overwhlem the Bears' stout defense. The Saints achieved their goal and downed the Bears 1-0 during their "Military Appreciation Night" and "9-11 Observance" at the North Georgia Soccer Field.
The win improves North Georgia's record to 2-2 while Lenoir-Rhyne falls to 1-2-1.
Lenoir-Rhyne presented a tough defense that was able to fned off 20 of the Saints' 21 shots, but that did not slow down the Saints as they out-shot the Bears 21-8. North Georgia also held the advantage in corner kicks 11-0.
As the two played to a 0-0 draw well into the second half, North Georgia goalkeeper Kristopher Alonzo punted the ball clear across the field in the 78th minute and the attack was on. James Dobbin was waiting just outside the box and gave a quick head flick to Manuel Hernandez who put the ball into the left side of the net to put North Georgia ahead.
The Bears were unable to find much in the way of offense from there as the Saints continued their relentless attack and continued to disrupt the Bears' offense.
The North Georgia men will next play at home on Saturday, Sept. 15 when they open their Peach Belt Conference schedule as part of a soccer doubleheader with Young Harris College. The women will start things off at 5:00 p.m.with the men will kicking off at around 7:30 p.m.
The Saints are inviting youth soccer players from around the area to attend both of Saturday's matches. Any youth soccer player who wears his or her jersey to the pair of games will be admitted free of charge.

Welcome to the Dark Side: Black on Black
Maison & Objet 2011
It can veer easily into a goth-y kind of vibe as many of these examples illustrate; it's not an easy look to pull off. I think the key to making this work in a "real" home would be to consider the overall fussiness of the pieces - cleaner lines work better and going for variances in finishes and textures would help to keep it feeling more warm and cozy instead of overly nightclubby.

What do you think? A do-able look or just too theatrical for real life?

good for selling industrial grade lighting
The feeling these photos give me is very ick. I do sort of like the second picture, maybe because it reminds me of Harry Potter.
Yes, I love this and have a lot of black or dark furniture. In this sort of interior, silver, gold or blue objects shine forth in a particularly attractive way. I find the dark environment so comforting.
I love it - Uber-Sexy.
I think their mainly just doing neutral designs; just using a darker neutral color. This forces the eye to look where they want it to.
My living room is medium gray (floors & walls) with one accent bronze/brown wall and the furniture is medium gray with a slight brown cast. Furniture ranges from mid to dark brown. Trimwork is medium brown.
It works for me because I have a huge picture window on one side (with a beautiful back yard view), a skylight, mirrors reflecting more light and the bronze wall on the opposite side has a large floor to ceiling white fireplace surround. The bronze wall is not a large wall. And I have lots of different kinds of room lighting. My goal was to make the place cozy and let my large artwork pop against the neutral setting.
I can also really control where my gaze goes because of neutral backdrop. I stumbled on this all by accident but I'm really intriqued by the way you can design rooms with color and light to direct where your eye looks.
My mom offered me turquoise soap dishes for my light turquoise bathroom. The counters are all white so I thought "Do I want my eyes to look at the soap dishes or would I rather they fade into the background? So I went with white soap dishes with white soap. When you first go in, my eyes don't register the soap dishes; it just looks like I've got a big open countertop.
I'm more into bright and airy design... but these are so cool!
My husband would probably dig a lot of these.
I don't see Eric Northman in any of these. That's just wrong.
It's very nice and gives a sense of luxury, but I wouldn't live in such a place, I'd be claustrophobic.
In Northern Europe, Black is always dark and lovely, with the clouds and the shorter days, but then the DUST.
Also realistically controlling the items with screaming COLOR that are part and parcel of "modern life".
It seems to me that these photos were taken in the wrong light. The light is too stark giving these environments a stark quality.
Black on black is more easily adaptable when it is lush and textured, just like all-white rooms. Glosses, mattes, weaves, lacquers, beads, carvings, velvets, tweeds, wood grains, and tactile curiosities of all sorts are needed to lend richness to the rooms.
"...it would feel like living in a hole in the ground with no light." - msmerlin
see, and I like that! I don't like all these stark-white rooms. They look so cold!
a single room like that is cool; not the entire apt.
i colorful detail on some of these would be fantastic!
I would want just to leave some of these rooms quickly to avoid falling asleep. They're not ugly as much as energy-draining.

Li, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: All of the three major theories of the firm, i.e., the transaction cost theory, knowledge-based theory and the entrepreneurship theory, offer some insightful analyses of the nature of the firm. However, they all have limitations and weaknesses in answering the fundamental question of the existence of the firm. In addition, they are all partial due to their particular focus on the multifaceted phenomenon of the firm. We argue that it is necessary and sufficient to develop a comprehensive yet integrative theory of the firm that combines the three competing yet complementary logics. Toward this end, we propose an aspirational community theory of the firm (ACT) as a candidate theory by conceptualizing the firm as an aspirational community, the core of which is a group of like-minded people sharing similar or same aspiration/vision. To explain the comparative advantage of the firm vis-à-vis market, we make a distinction between contractual labor and aspirational labor, the former being defined as services provided by a laborer in fulfillment of a contract while the latter as services provided by a laborer in pursuit of an aspiration; and argue that firms exist because while the market may be effective and efficient for allocating contractual labor it is less effective and efficient than the firms for allocating aspirational labor.

Context, complexity and competenceClausen, Lisbeth; Worm, Verner (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Asia (Japan, China, India and South East Asia) has a population of more than 2.5 billion people (a little less than half the world's population). Asia is diverse and complex but it is first of all an exciting place and accounts for a significant and increasingly large share of the global economy, boasting three of the ten biggest economies – China, Japan and India. It is the growth center of the current world economy, with two of the fastest emerging economies, China and India. The rapid development is partly because the countries have received huge amounts of foreign direct investments (FDI). In 2009 China alone received US $ 92 billion in FDI and China has more expatriates than any other country in the world (Welch, Welch & Worm, 2007). Many expatriates are also based in Japan, India and South East Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia as well. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8599

A New Approach to Strategic ControlHallin, Carina Antonia; Andersen, Torben J.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent advances within the dynamic capabilities view emphasize the "sensing" of employees as an important part of the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities: By putting in place organizational processes that mobilize and exploit information gathered by individual employees from their operating environment, firms can update insights about performance outcomes and improve strategic decision-making. We test empirically the extent to which firms can ascertain performance outcomes by drawing on employee knowledge. Our empirical setting is the Scandinavian hospitality sector with respondents among frontline service employees. Using a time series approach, we show that employee respondents (collectively) assess medium-term organizational performance better than management and the financial models available to them.

ORU Stopped by Central Arkansas, 3-1
Central Arkansas (23-3, 15-0 Southland Conference) took the match by scores of 25-18, 18-25, 25-17 and 25-22.
Sara Pope led the Golden Eagles with 11 kills, but ORU hit just .122 as a team. The Golden Eagle defensive effort was led by Bruna Silva, who tallied 18 digs, while Kylie Johnson notched 11.
The one area where ORU did excel was at the net, where they tallied 12 blocks. Jessica Pancratz paced the team with six individual efforts.
Central Arkansas was led by Heather Schnars, who racked up 17 kills. All-SLC setter Marissa Collins came away with 48 assists and helped the Bears hit .236.
Collins was on serve as UCA rattled off five straight points to take control of the 1st set, and a service ace gave the visitors a 12-7 lead. ORU never seriously threatened after that point, and a Paige Gantar kill gave the Bears a 25-18 win.
Oral Roberts did dominate the 2nd set after scoring five of the first six points. A block by Pancratz and McKenna Qualls stretched the edge to 15-11, and a red card shown to the UCA bench made the score 21-13. The Golden Eagles coasted to a 25-18 win.
But UCA used four straight Golden Eagle attack errors to build 5-1 lead in the 3rd set, and
ORU's momentum was short-lived. Another ORU error helped the visitors double the Golden Eagles up, 16-8, and the margin remained comfortable throughout. A solo block by Jessica Nagy gave UCA a 25-17 win.
ORU led the early stages of the 4th set before Central Arkansas scored five straight, capped by a Schnars kill, to take a 13-9 lead. The Golden Eagles forced seven different ties late in the set, with the last one coming at 19-all on a Jovana Poljasevic kill, but they never could take the lead. UCA was able to stave off the ORU rally, taking a clinching 25-22 victory on a Nagy kill.
Central Arkansas has now won three straight meetings with ORU.
ORU now has just two days off before traveling to Nacogdoches, Texas, for a matchup with Stephen F. Austin that starts the final week of the regular season. First serve on Tuesday is booked for 7 pm CT.

This guy thinks neutrinos are their own antiparticle.
I think it's a "baby neutron", or "neutron bambino", later shortened to "neutrino". Of course, since it was not observed, but the laws of physics anticipated its existence, it was called an "anticipated neutron bambino", or "antineutrino", for short.
Oh, and by the way, I agree with you on the attenuation issue Did I say that??? . I think 18.823 light years would do the job just fine.

Get ready for the Lyric Video for Cole Phoenix's rising single UFO - invading today, 10th of Feb. 2014
NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- From Phoenix herself, "UFO is a song celebrating love and ultimately standing strong against an 'alien invasion' on a loving relationship." By "alien", Phoenix refers to another trying to edge their way into a relationship and unsettle it. Phoenix plays metaphorically with the UFO concept and uses that acronym in a cheeky way to a clever effect - reversing the letters for a catchy hook...
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140210/HK61799)
The music video, directed by Nicolas Jacobi and Cole Phoenix, is set in a futuristic space station complete with space windows and Avatar-inspired neon club lighting. To complement this sure to be edgy clip, the lyric video for UFO - directed and written by Machio Lall, Nicolas Jacobi and Cole Phoenix - is designed to give the external view from the UFO space station club. The "out of this world" lyric video certainly builds anticipation for the official music video to air late February!
In this intriguing lyric video for UFO, Phoenix's unique lyrics are set to a series of beautiful and powerful spatial images. A very fitting ambiance for this songbird Cole - since the legend of the Phoenix firebird is traditionally linked with the sun. Cole Phoenix's logo was also inspired by this heavenly mythology, the ethereal motifs enhanced by Cole Phoenix's angelic voice.
Check out the UFO lyric video on You Tube - feel a sense of Gravity's weightlessness - and have a fireball of fun singing along with Cole Phoenix in outer space!

Subdivision Bond
Learn more at our full video library
- What will a subdivision bond cost?
It is a percentage of the bond amount, billed on an annual basis. The bond renewal amount can be reduced from year to year as the work is satisfactorily completed, but it will be continuously billed until a release letter is received. Use our estimate tool to get a general price range or apply online to get a precise cost.
- Can I get a bond with bad credit?
It is unlikely. However, it is possible if you have strong business or personal financials. Apply on our website to determine if you qualify for subdivision bonds.
- I have a new business. Can I get a subdivision bond?
Yes. The age of your business does not affect whether you can obtain this bond. The most significant factor considered for qualification is approved financing for the job, followed by your experience in the industry, financials and personal credit.
- Can I get a bond if I don't have my financing approved for a project?
No. Unless you can prove you are self-financed, you will be ineligible for a bond because the surety will view you as a high risk to not complete the work.
- How do claims occur?
If a developer does not make the required additions or improvements per the developers agreement, the obligee will file a claim on the bond. All legitimate claims must be reimbursed by the developer. Watch our video and learn more about claims.
- Where can I find a subdivision bond form?
You need to get it from the obligee, as there are generally no industry standard bond forms for this bond type. However, New Jersey is an exception as it does have a standard form for Townships, which we have on file.
- Should I get a subdivision bond or a letter of credit?
Obtain a bond, as it is the better option for multiple reasons. The bond only requires an annual premium payment, which is a percentage of the contract amount. The letter of credit requires you to post 100% of the contract amount, tying up your funding, while the bank charges a fee for holding your funds.
The bond comes with a team of claim specialists that will help fight any false claims. With a letter of credit, there's often no claim investigation. The government entity holding the letter of credit can draw down on it anytime they feel there is a breach of the developer's agreement, which makes your working capital vulnerable. For larger companies who choose the bond, surety companies can finance you if you get in to tight cash flow situations.

Proper care of your child's teeth and gums includes brushing and rinsing, routine dental exams, and any necessary treatments such as fluoride, extractions, fillings, or braces and other orthodontics.

Healthy teeth and gums are essential to your child's overall good health. Injured, diseased, or poorly developed teeth can result in poor nutrition, painful and dangerous infections, and problems with speech development and self-image.
Even though newborns and infants do not have teeth, it is important to take care of their mouth and gums. Follow these tips:
If your child loses an adult (permanent) tooth during a fall or other injury, see broken or knocked out tooth
for first aid instructions. If you act quickly, you can often save the tooth.

This rolling cart has solved alot of problems for me. Extra storage and a place to put recycleables in a trash can so they don't sit out in the kitchen. The casters roll very easily so I can move it around if I choose or lock it in place. It is very attractive and the granite is nice and heavy. Perfect.
It arrived in two big boxes, and my husband and I assembled this cart quickly and without any problems. Every item was individually packed, with clear instructions to follow. The quality is very good and it is just as the picture shows. However, when we opened the box for the granite, we discovered it was shattered, even though the granite had been packed with care in a crate. It and the box had no marks on them to suggest that anything was damaged. We contacted Costumer service right away. They were friendly and without hesitation, they send us a new one, without any hassle at all. We received constant updates on the status and it arrived super fast and most importantly, intact. :-)) The top went on without any problem. We use this cart as a coffee station, as we are true coffee lovers and it is just wonderful to have everything in on spot. Everything fits great, there is plenty of space for everything. We are very happy with this purchase and will buy again in the future.
Very heavy we love it. More assembly required than we expected. I would buy it again.
Soooo happy with the kitchen cart. Arrived early was able to put it together without a hitch. Instructions was very clear all the pieces was marked. The granite is gorgeous & goes so well with my granite counter tops. Thanks.
I thought long and hard before purchasing a island for my small kitchen. I needed more counter space but was afraid that there would not be enough space for it. The island worked out beautifully! It matches my cabinets and black granite counters perfectly and looks like it was part of the space. I took off the casters because I wanted it to look more permanent. Although it lowers the counter, I can still work at it and use it to hold pots, pans and ingredients while I cook. The quality of the granite is not the best but for the price the island is a great buy. I'm sorry I waited so long to purchase it and would definitely do it again!
The kitchen cart is a beautiful addition to our kitchen. Although it was very securely packed, there was one defective piece when we unpacked it. This was quickly replaced by the company. All parts were individually marked and all bolts and screws were in clearly marked packages. The assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. The completed cart is beautiful, sturdy and fully functional.

April 15 2014 BOOKLIST
April 2014

Rick Yancey's celebrated Monstrumologist series wraps up with next month's The Final Descent. Booklist spoke to him about completing this ambitious four-part saga.
Will Henry changes so radically from first to last book. How much of his development did you know before writing Book 1?
YANCEY: Here's how it began: "Hey, monster hunters! That would be cool!" I had no clue, not a smidgen, where the story might go from that simple premise. By the middle of the third book, my concern for Will Henry became acute as the terminus of his journey started to come into focus. I knew where he would end, where Warthrop would end, where monstrumology would end. Going back to the first book, I discerned clues there—and I realized the seeds were planted without my knowledge. In short, I hadn't consciously planned it, but something deep down had determined the outcome. This is one of the great mysteries of writing, and I'm wise enough to know it's a place to lightly tread. A part of me must have known or recognized the greatest danger of monster-hunting; Nietzsche certainly did.
Speaking of audience reaction, the Monstrumologist books have developed an ardent cult following. Any idea of why the books strike such a strong chord among certain readers?
YANCEY: In my opinion, it's the characters. I can't recall a fan ever wanting to talk about this or that monster or the finer points of monstrumology. The relationship between Will and Warthrop grips them, as it has gripped me from the inception. It is hopelessly complex, deeply twisted, and heartbreakingly irresolvable. I remember struggling with the second book, second-guessing my choices (particularly with the monster), when I wrote on the first page of the manuscript, in big block letters, "LOVE IS THE MONSTER." It struck a deeply resonating chord in me and in readers, too, I think.
Any last words about what the Monstrumologist books meant to you?
YANCEY: It taught me things about structure and form and trust—by that, I mean trust in my own instincts and abilities. It taught me not to be afraid of dark places. It confirmed for me the bedrock belief that a special bond exists between a writer and his readers, the humanity we share, the fear and the isolation and the yearning to be connected to another human being. It taught me that writing is fraught with danger, particularly the danger of falling too much in love with your characters. It taught me that it's nearly impossible to be too ambitious. That it's better to write the perfect sentence than to fret about sales. That the horror of being eaten alive is nothing compared to the horror of the human soul confronting itself, the monster that lives one-ten-thousandth of an inch outside our range of vision.

After the 2012 Election, you don't have to be a weatherman to know that the political wind is blowing liberal in the Sunshine State.
There's a storm brewing for the tea party/GOP, and it's more than a tempest in a teapot. It turns out that Florida voters can only be lied to for so long. Since 1999, Republican governors and a Republican-dominated Legislature have enacted mean-spirited policies that favor corporations and hurt average citizens. Two months ago, disgusted voters finally said enough is enough.
But there's no rest for the politically savvy. In less than two years, on Nov. 4, 2014, Election Day, Floridians need to repudiate the failed past by firing Gov. Rick Scott, electing more Democrats to the Legislature, and paving the way to a promising future by putting on the ballot and passing constitutional amendments that would . . .
Legalize same-sex marriage: In June, the U.S. Supreme Court will rule in two cases involving same-sex marriage. But liberals should prepare a constitutional amendment legalizing it for the 2014 ballot, in case the court renders a less-than-sweeping decision. A recent Quinnipiac University poll reports that 45 percent of Florida voters oppose gay marriage — down from 50 percent since May — and 43 percent support it. An amendment could energize support, especially among young voters.
Decriminalize marijuana: In defiance of federal law, the District of Columbia and 18 states have passed laws legalizing medical marijuana. In November, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. A pot amendment would bring out hordes of liberal voters, including the young and seniors whose arthritis, glaucoma and Parkinson's may be helped by medical Cannabis.
Provide for the recall of all elected officials: Once in office, too many lawmakers pander to special interests and thumb their noses at voters. We can't afford to wait until the next election. All of them should be subject to recall.
Establish an independent election review board: Appointed by the Florida Supreme Court, the board should establish and enforce statewide standards, policies and procedures for managing elections. After their voter suppression efforts in 2012, the governor and the Legislature have no credibility.
Make it harder for the Legislature to put constitutional amendments on the ballot: The tea party/GOP-dominated Legislature has played fast and loose with amendments, principally to get its "base" to vote. This amendment should require a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate — in two successive sessions — to put an amendment on the ballot. Also, the number of legislature-originated amendments should be limited to three in any given year.
Restore all ex-felons' rights automatically: From his precarious moral perch, Gov. Scott, the former CEO of a company that paid the nation's largest Medicare/Medicaid fine, made it harder for felons who have served their time to get their rights restored. Ex-felons permanently lose their civil rights — including the right to vote, hold public office, serve on a jury and hold certain types of occupational licenses — unless they are restored by the governor and Board of Executive Clemency after a lengthy process. But there's no guarantee. Florida leads the nation with 1.5 million disenfranchised ex-felons. Twenty-three percent of the voting-age black population can't vote because of a felony record. Passing this amendment would help ex-felons lead productive lives.
Establish that life begins at birth: Florida has waged a war on women's reproductive freedom for years. In 2008, 72 percent of Florida counties had no abortion provider. The "Women's Health Freedom" amendment should state that decisions about a woman's health and reproduction are matters of privacy between her and her doctor.
In November 2012, Florida voters soundly rejected draconian constitutional amendments that members of the Legislature put on the ballot. But as sure as weathermen will tell you that the sun rises in the East, the tea party/GOP is planning to hatch another slew of them in 2014 — likely some of those that were defeated, repackaged better to fool voters. So, it's time for liberals to eclipse them, rain on their parade and let weathermen deliver the good news about which way the wind is blowing.
