A cautionary tale about cheap surveyors
We recently had to clear up on behalf of a client who had opted for a survey from one of our cheaper surveyor allies.
The low cost surveyor had not bothered to move the remains of a bed in an otherwise empty house to get in to the attic. It took us about 30 seconds.
The roof had a number of snapped rafters as an original slate surface had been replaced with heavier concrete tiles. Expensive!
The cheap surveyors had not opened the drain cover as it was supposed to be corroded in. Again it took us about 30 seconds.
The drain was of course blocked due to a problem with the channel.
The lower priced surveyor offered some advice about dampness. The suggestion was completely unnecessary and put everybody in the house at risk of burning to death as the suggestions severely compromised the fire protection of the property. In this case particular important, as it was three stories plus cellar and likely to be in multiple occupation.
We were able to advise the client against that course of action saving potential prosecution/ closure by the Environmental Health Officer.
By doing only half a job and not stopping to think about the content of the report the cheap surveyors were naturally able to be much quicker and cheaper.
But not such cheap surveyors in the long run!

---+!! Lang Files Explained %TOC% ---++ Creating new languages Copy the english.lang to [your language].lang and change all strings within the <dest> and <voice> tags. ---++ Prerequisites to be able to translate First of all, you need to speak the language you're translating to fluently. This cannot be stressed enough. You should either be a native speaker, or having spoken the language daily for years. High-school classes are not enough. Machine translations are completely unacceptable. To avoid manual (and error-prone) diffing, copy and pasting and so on, use the script called [[http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tools/genlang][genlang]] with its -u option. Note: If you don't have or want a build environment, it should be possible to download the script to your pc and do it all without the build environment. Get a perl interpreter if you don't already have one, for example [[http://www.activestate.com/Perl.plex][ActivePerl]]. So be sure you can start the genlang script either way, or opt for the hard way by doing it all yourself. ---++ Preparation every time you update The translation is always done "from" English, so [[http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=blob_plain;f=apps/lang/english.lang;hb=HEAD][english.lang]] is the master file. Monitor this file if you want to be sure to keep "your" language up to date. The only one step of preparation you have to do every time you want to update "your" language is to run that script: Bring yourself to the =/apps/lang/= directory (or to the directory where english.lang and yourlang.lang reside if you work without build environment). Don't forget to update the file ( =svn up english.lang= or just a fresh download). Run genlang like the following line: <verbatim> ../../tools/genlang -u -e=english.lang yourlang.lang > yournewlang.lang </verbatim> This assumes you are working "from" English, as usual, your outdated language file is called _yourlang.lang_ and you want to get the merge to _newyourlang.lang_. Now that genlang has merged the new changes from English to _newyourlang.lang_, you can go ahead with the actual work of translation, by opening the file in your favorite text editor. The new file has added comments starting with ### marking where you (might) need to edit the file. ---++ The lang file format I'm afraid we have to look into the format of lang files now. Every string needed in RockBox has a voice clip, this is why we can call such a pair a "phrase". Every phrase has absolutely unique identifier (called =id=), it has a description that tells you the context so you can select the wording (called =desc=), it has the original English string (called =source=), it has a string specially for the voice clips (called =voice=) and it finally has the string in your language (called =dest=). All =source/dest/voice= strings must be written within double quotes ("). There are a few keywords that can be used that don't use quotes, but they are special and are detected by the absence of quotes. When updating a language, you are asked to solely change the =dest= and =voice= strings. Changing =id=, =source= or =desc= will either break-up everything or turn the subsequent update job into real pain. Comments start with the hash-sign ('#', also called hash (UK) or pound (US) key in English; 'Raute', 'Viereckchen', 'Lattenkreuz' in German; or 'Kanalgitterchen' in Austrian. No joke, but funny :-) ) Lang files *must* be saved with *UTF-8* encoding. ---++ Langv2 As of April 4 2006, we've converted to a new language file format and system. We now allow different strings for different targets, and you can now make sure that the string is correctly saying things for each model. All phrases have a default string like: =*: "default"= that will be used if no other string matches for the particular model you build the language for. If you want a particular string for the iriver iriverh300 series you'd write it like: =iriverh300: "iriverh300-specific string"= (and of couse use the default string too on the line below). The target names used for this are picked from the configure script and are set in the MODELNAME variable in the root Makefile. Currently, they are: |*Target*|*Target string*| |*Archos*|| |Player/Studio|*archosplayer*| |Recorder|*archosrecorder*| |FM Recorder|*archosfmrecorder*| |Recorder V2|*archosrecorderv2*| |Ondio SP|*archosondiosp*| |Ondio FM|*archosondiofm*| |*iaudio*|| |M3|*iaudiom3*| |M5|*iaudiom5*| |X5|*iaudiox5*| |Cowon D2|*cowond2*| |*ipod*|| |1G and 2G|*ipod1g2g*| |3G|*ipod3g*| |4G gray|*ipod4g*| |Color/Photo|*ipodcolor*| |Video (5G)|*ipodvideo*| |Mini 1G|*ipodmini1g*| |Mini 2G|*ipodmini2g*| |Nano 1G|*ipodnano1g*| |Nano 2G|*ipodnano2g*| |*iriver*|| |iriver H10 20GB|*iriverh10*| |iriver H10 5GB|*iriverh10_5gb*| |iriver H100/115|*iriverh100*| |iriver H120/140|*iriverh120*| |iriver H320/340|*iriverh300*| |*Olympus*|| |M-Robe 100|*mrobe100*| |M-Robe 500|*mrobe500*| |*Samsung*|| |YH-820|*samsungyh820*| |YH-920|*samsungyh920*| |YH-925|*samsungyh925*| |*Sansa*|| |c200|*sansac200*| |Clip|*sansaclip*| |e200|*sansae200*| |e200 Rapsody|*sansae200r*| |e200v2|*sansae200v2*| |Fuze|*sansafuze*| |*Toshiba*|| |Gigabeat F/X|*gigabeatfx*| |Gigabeat S|*gigabeats*| ---++ The translation Mainly said, any resource that needs attention has a '###'-comment. I will now list the 'scenarios' I know and how I think they have to be handled. ---+++ Deprecation If a string is not needed anymore, it's not allowed to delete it in the master file. Therefore, they are marked by writing ="DEPRECATED"= to the description. The todo-comment that will appear in the file you're editing is ="### The 'desc' field differs from the english!"= followed by the OLD description line. This is by far the simplest work to do when updating language files. A deprecated string is not needed anymore. A deprecated string should be written as the following in the lang file. This example snippet deprecates the destination string for all targets: <verbatim> <phrase> id: LANG_FOO desc: DEPRECATED <source> *: "" </source> <dest> *: deprecated </dest> <voice> *: "" </voice> </phrase> </verbatim> ---+++ Added Strings If a new string has been found in english.lang, =genlang -u= will prepare a resource for you, so you only have to remove the comments and translate the string. Example: <verbatim> ### ### This phrase below was not present in the translated file <phrase> id: LANG_STEREO_WIDTH desc: in sound_settings <source> *: "Stereo width" </source> <dest> *: "Stereo width" </dest> <voice> *: "Stereo width" </voice> </phrase> </verbatim> ---+++ String Removal The lang format allows you to completely remove a string for a particular target's language file by using the =none= keyword: <verbatim> <dest> *: "fancy LCD bitmap rotation enabled" player: none </dest> </verbatim> Note however that this completely removes the string from the output and thus it may very well break backwards compatibility when you do this. Carefully consider deprecating the string instead. ---+++ Translation style The translation should feel as correct as possible to speakers/readers of your native language you're translating this to. This means that you should follow the rules of the language you're translating to, and not try to imitate the English version. For example with capitals, you should not capitalize anything other than what would be done if you were writing the text from scratch. Also try as much as possible to avoid using English words, as tempting as it may be, unless it's very commonly known and in daily use in your language (and not just among tech-interested people). --- Your main work is done if you can't find any '###'-comment anymore :-)
 Now, go ahead and see if you made a mistake before posting your work in the [[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/newtask/proj1][patch tracker]].
 If you are able to create a patch with your changes against current SVN we prefer that but the whole .lang file is just fine. Be sure to drop a line on the mailing list after that so your updated file will get committed as soon as possible. It would be a bummer if somebody else would be doing the same work a week later. ---++ Safety checks Note: %RED%strings are always "within double quotes", *even the empty ones* %ENDCOLOR% Just for safety, I do a few checks. I use a file differ ([[http://www.scootersoftware.com/][BeyondCompare]], will be available for linux too in a while) for this. 1. *check:* comparing the _newyourlang.lang_ to _yourlang.lang_. This allows you to see WHAT you changed, just in case you made a big mistake. 2. *check:* comparing the _newyourlang.lang_ to _english.lang_. These files should only differ in new-strings and comments. 3. *check:* if genlang complains when making a binary .lng file. This is easily done by placing _yourlang.lang_ inside the =apps/lang= directory inside your source tree and performing a 'make'. If you do not have a Rockbox development environment set up, this can be done from the command line using genlang with the following swithches:
 ==../../tools/genlang -e=english.lang -t=yourtarget:features -i=targetid -b=yourlang.lng yourlang.lang==
 a. _yourtarget_ is the target string that the Rockbox build system uses, for example "iriverh300" for iriver H300, after your target enter a colon separated list of "features" supported by your target, see apps/features.txt in the Rockbox svn for which ones are defined for each target. The argument for 'i' is the _id number_ that the build system uses for your target, for example '10' for the H300.
 a. To find the target string and id number for your target see the tools/configure script in the Rockbox SVN, or you can find them in a current Rockbox build by opening the file =/.rockbox/rockbox-info.txt=.
 a. If =genlang -b= does not complain about anything, then this means that you didn't make a big mistake.
 4. *check:* the experiment on oneself: copy the _yourlang.lng_ to your rockbox (/.rockbox/lang), switch the language, and try it out. ---++ Current status ---+++!![[http://translate.rockbox.org/][Translations status overview on translate.rockbox.org]]

Gifting a handgun across state lines.
I live in PA, do I need to go through a FFL in order to give my brother in MD a gift of a handgun?
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. - He can legally own a gun in his home state.
My opinion (not advice) if he can legal own a firearm. What it is given or received between friends much less family members is no ones (especially the governments) business.
Across state lines is still a transfer whether or not monies are involved.
Go through an FFL and be legal.
no offense and none taken
across state lines would require an ffl in order to be legal.
FFL all the way.
Thanks for all of your input.:)
I'm sure as heck not recommending you break the law and you should probably do as these other wise people recommend BUT if it was me and I was giving it to someone I trusted to not do something stupid with it, which is the only kind of person I would give it to, I would just go give it to him. The paper trail would end now but thats just me. I'm tired of big brother tracking everything I do. I know the FFL doesn't send the 4473 to the gubmint till they close shop but sooner or later they will get it. Damn, now the NSA has this post.
Sent from my SCH-I925 using Firearms Talk mobile app
I would like to see the gifting of guns to family members across state lines removed from the laws in currently in place. But only under those conditions. To family members.
But, someone that was elected to office has decided that transaction is part of interstate commerce.
Go figure.

Philadelphia Eagles fans don't have much to smile about these days, this Quickstrike colorway of the Nike Air Trainer Max '91 being one of the few exceptions.
Following the Bo Jackson release from May, this Eagles-themed make-up sports a green nubuck upper with a black strap system and white hits on the Swoosh logos and outsole. 'Philly Knows' printed across the mid-strap and a throwback Eagles logo on the heel officially links it to the team.
BUnderwood056 has a few sizes of the 'Eagles' Air Trainer Max '91 available on eBay now.

A new razor has hit town, y'all. And it's a big deal. Laugh if you want, but if you're like me and endure an insane amount of razor nicks from dealing with crappy razors, you know finding a GOOD razor is a serious, mega and colossal deal. Shick is bringing us their new Hydro Silk Razor. And uh…I hope this doesn't seem to forward but you need to get one.
Like fo real fo real. This razor is amazing. And for several reasons.
- This is Schick's first 5-blade razor. Finally! Why the fellas always got 5 blades and us gals didn't is beyond me.
- There are skin guards on the top of the blades to help smooth the skin while shaving.
- The inclusion of water-activated moisturizing serum is genius. I don't know how it works but this lubricating strip stays slick for several shaves.
Oh, and then you've got the nice handle that makes moving around easy peasy .
Because I suffer from razor bumps, burns, nicks, scraps, cuts (you get the idea)…I like that the razor has 5 blades.
That means, I'm not only getting rid of the hair with one swipe, but my skin is left smooth and irritation free. It's a fantastic razor, y'all.
If you can find it in your drugstore, get it with the quickness. It retails for $9.99 for a razor and 1 cartridge. I loves it.
In extremely random news, how beautiful was the sky the other day?
I have this thing for glaring up at the sky and taking pictures of it. It's the little things, you know? I get this calming wave of relaxation when I look up at the sky. Even if it's in the middle of a lunch break.

OAKLEY — The city will amend an ordinance so that it can temporarily ban vandals from parks and other public property.
Oakley council members on Tuesday unanimously agreed to allow the city's director of public works to issue individuals and groups a "stay-away order" of up to 90 days if they deliberately damage city property.
Special counsel Bill Galstan called the step a "completely foreign concept for Oakley," noting the city's efforts to create a welcoming environment.
The action broadens an existing ordinance that permits city employees to remove someone from a park for the rest of the day if he or she is interfering with their jobs or bothering other users.
The stay-away order not only would prohibit those found defacing public property from returning for a prescribed period of time but would require them to reimburse the city for the cost of cleanup or repairs.
And if they ignore the ban, the city also will bill them for the legal expenses it would incur in obtaining a restraining order from the courts.
Those who receive a stay-away order may appeal it to the city attorney.
Galstan noted that the ordinance cannot be used to remove individuals from the council chamber while they are exercising their right to free speech at a public meeting.
The stay-away order is modeled after a similar practice that Bay Area Rapid Transit implemented in May 2013 to protect passengers and employees, empowered by state legislation that had been enacted the previous year.
BART now can ban individuals from its stations for up to a year depending on the frequency and gravity of the offense.
The Oakley City Council took action after a group that provides day care for adults with mental disabilities repeatedly allowed its clients to damage Creekside and Crockett parks, according to Nancy Marquez-Suarez, assistant to the city manager. The vandalism, which occurred multiple times a week over several months, included clients smearing excrement around the public restrooms and destroying sprinkler heads.
Galstan said that when the city confronted those in charge of the group, "The answer (was), 'Well, it's a public park and we have every right to use it.' "
The City Council is scheduled to ratify the amended ordinance at its next meeting on Aug. 12, and it would take effect in September.

DETROIT - Sheriff deputies arrest a man accused of breaking into the same Detroit restaurant eight times.
Two Wayne County Sheriff's deputies arrested Leslie Jerome Griffin, 49, of Detroit, on Thursday afternoon.
Griffin is wanted for probation violation and several incidents of breaking and entering. He is suspected of breaking into Tom's Oyster Bar on Jefferson in Detroit at least eight times.
"I want to commend these officers for their alertness in spotting this suspect and taking him into custody," said Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon. "Getting him off the street is an important step toward creating a secure environment for businesses and customers."
The Wayne County Sheriff's Department said Griffin also was arrested for violating probation on a previous conviction in Wayne County of breaking and entering in February.
Deputies said there is also a warrant out on Griffin in Highland Park.

"I only know who I am and what I am when I find out who I was and who I was surrounded by." -- Marcel Proust
Live movement -- performed and perceived in the present -- is actually a temporal experience, in the sense that, once executed, it is constantly analyzed and processed as a revisitation of past experience. Through Miloš Sofrenovic's encounter with Marcel Proust's capital work "Remembrance of Things Past," he discovered a strong relationship between three discourses -- Memory, Movement and Monologue. This solo piece, "M. - Solo For Three Minds" (Dialogues with Marcel Proust), investigates this relationship as it is being established and questions it. The subsequent questions became the dramaturgical building blocks upon which this solo performance in 12 scenes is based. It was a three year project and Sofrenovic gave each one the name "season" to designate its year. Each project has its own name as well.
"M. - Solo For Three Minds" (Dialogues with Marcel Proust) by Miloš Sofrenovic, a performance artist, pedagogue and director who is originally from Loindon and now working in Vienna. It is the second part of a three part trilogy and the second full length piece from Sofrenovic's choreographic tryptich, "Three Seasons." He devised and performed his First Season (2009/2010) : "Solo For Three Visions" (Visions of Peter Hanke, Samuel Beckett & Virginia Woolf) to high critical acclaim, bringing him a nomination for the most prestigious state award in choreography "Dimitrije Parlic" at The National Theatre in Belgrade in 2010. Third Season (2011/2012)"Solo for Two Cities" (Imaginary dialogue between Milos Crnjanski's "A Novel About London" and Lawrence Durrell's "Alexandrian Quartet") will close this cycle of solo works exploring the relationship between movement and literature, again devised and performed by the artist himself. Sofrenovic received his dance and choreographic education as a scholarship student of the distinguished Laban Centre in London. He is also a recipient of several international scholarships from the Serbian Ministry of Culture, Soros Foundation (Belgrade), Dance Web Program (Vienna), Dance Omi Programe (United States of America), Odyssey Dance Theatre (Singapore). Among others he has collaborated successfully with choreographers Ana Sanchez Colberg (London), Kitt Johnson (Copenhagen), Liz King (Vienna), Danny Tan (Singapore), Mikhail Honesseau (Berlin), Pina Bausch (London), Filippo Armati (Locarno), Sonja Vukicevic (Belgrade). He has presented his works at festivals in Belgrade, Zagreb, Skopje, Zemun, Novi Sad, Edinburgh, London, Vienna, Istanbul, Singapore, Stockholm, Graz, to name a few.
"own, Owned," choreographed by Jesse Phillips-Fein
Cino Theater
Wednesday, August 24 at 9:00PM; Thursday, August 25 at 7:00PM; Friday, August 26 at 7:00PM; Saturday, August 27 at 5:00PM; Sunday, August 28 at 5:00PM.
Running Time: 40 minutes | Tickets: $15
Inspired by the uninspired, "own, Owned" reflects on how pleasure is constructed and controlled in our post-Hope political landscape. Focusing on small daily acts of pleasurable choices, the piece engages with the unrecognized creative possibility in eating, dressing/primping the self, sex, and modes of entertainment, as well as how these acts become substitutes for an absent collective political power. At the heart of the piece is anxiety about, but craving for desire--our longings for more meaningful ownership of the self. The intention of the piece is to question the significance of where our libidos are focused. It challenges our reliance on these small daily choices to blot out the reality of dehumanized work through empty play but it does not choose sides. Instead, it operates from a "both/and" perspective. It heralds the daily acts of pleasure where we find creative potential in what we often take as banal and repetitive. Exposing that "business does not have to continue as usual," the possible freedom in these acts attempts to acquire a political dimension, but unsuccessfully. In this piece, failure is guaranteed. As a result, it simultaneously denigrates these "mini-choices" as substitutes and distractions from more genuine power. It mourns the way our pleasures are hijacked, packaged and sold back to us. In this process, the piece embraces a troubling of our beliefs about hope and hopelessness in our current global situation.

"I Don't Have a Title Yet!" by Regina Nejman

Running Time: 45-60 minutes | Tickets: $15
Not having a title and a concept is the guiding force of this piece, where stream of consciousness evokes unexpected desires and motivation. The work is derived and driven by its four inhabitants and follows a kinetic logic supported by eclectic compositions including Bach, Brazilian pop and Mio Morales' deconstructed sounds as well as text created in collaboration with the dancers. The overall effect is a reflection on the collapse of systems and relationships through the exploration of uncertainty, waiting, mischief and creation. By mixing the various influences that inspire her choreography, Regina Nejman has created a fresh work which stimulates audiences to think, feel and to question these turbulent times.
The New York Times (Jennifer Dunning) called Regina Nejman "a modern-dance choreographer with a piquant imagination and visual sense to match." She grew up in Rio de Janeiro and is based in New York, where she has been creating her own choreography since 1993 and founded her own company in 1997. Her company has toured in Brazil twice and she has been presented at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Joyce SoHo, Symphony Space, New York International Fringe Festival (where she was awarded the 2005 outstanding choreography award), DNA, DTW's Fresh Tracks, Merce Cunningham Studio, and more. She has received support from The Greenwall Foundation, Puffin Foundation, LMCC/ MCAF; Meet the Composer, MFTA; space grants from 92nd St Y, Queens Museum of Art, Abrons Arts Center, and Joyce Theater Residency. Nejman has received commissions from Princeton University, The Yard, NJCU and most recently received a Mondo Cane Commisssion from Dixon Place, where she premiered "Annette." Nejman received her BA from SUNY/ Empire State College in 1998. She was as a teaching artist for HAI and was a guest artist at Princeton University, Wesleyan University, and was an adjunct teacher at NJCU. She taught master classes at NYU Common Hour Class, Harvard Summer Dance, and LaGuardia Performing Arts High School. As a dancer, she has worked with Donald Byrd/ The Group, Ze' eva Cohen, Sean Curran, Des Moines Ballet and Bat-Dor Dance Company, among others. http://reginanejmancompany.blogspot.com/

Filibuster change was inevitableDec 9, 2013 By Carl Leubsdorf
And a case can be made that it was necessary as well.
Over the past century, the Senate has voted several times to curb the minority's ability to prevent the majority from acting, most recently Nov. 21, when it voted to reduce from 60 to a simple majority of 51 the number needed to limit debate on executive and judicial nominations (except the Supreme Court).
That vote differed in three significant ways from prior ones:
- It followed strictly partisan lines, with 52 of the Senate's 55 Democrats outvoting the 45 Republicans and three Democratic dissidents.
- The change affected votes on judicial and executive nominations, but not legislation like the civil rights bills that preoccupied the Senate in the 1950s and 1960s. It will still take 60 votes to invoke cloture on legislation and Supreme Court nominations.
- Republicans erupted predictably by assailing Democratic leader Harry Reid as a "dictator" -- while vowing they would, of course, employ the very changes they were condemning when they next win the White House and Senate. That's their prerogative; as Obama accurately said in 2009, "elections have consequences."
Lest anyone think this is a fight about principle, Republicans threatened -- but failed -- to make similar changes when a Democratic minority blocked conservative nominees of President George W. Bush. "No partisan minority of the Senate has a right to block a bipartisan majority from casting a vote to confirm this president or any president's nominees," Texas Sen. John Cornyn, one of Reid's critics now, said in 2005.
Cooler heads prevailed then, and each subsequent time Senate deadlocks threatened these changes. But the Senate's increasing partisanship reflects our national politics, making action not only inevitable but necessary.
The steady increase in filibusters, and resulting cloture votes, shows the extent to which minority obstruction was threatening to prevent whichever party controlled the executive branch from having the personnel it needed to manage the federal government.
In the first Kennedy-Johnson term in the 1960s, there were seven cloture votes; in Ronald Reagan's first four years, 46; in Bill Clinton's, 96; in George W. Bush's, 110; and in Barack Obama's, 164.
During the civil rights era, these battles were bipartisan, with Democratic and Republican senators on both sides. But they've become increasingly partisan, as conservative Democrats migrated to the GOP and liberal Republicans became Democrats. In recent Senates, the most liberal Republican was more conservative than the most conservative Democrat.
Threatened filibusters have made it harder for the Obama administration to fill midlevel positions in Cabinet departments, one reason for the number of vacancies in its fifth year in office.
Two recent fights illustrate the problem.
On Oct. 31, Republican opposition prevented the Senate from mustering 60 votes for Rep. Melvin Watt, a well-regarded African-American House veteran from North Carolina, as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the first time since 1843 it refused to confirm a House member for an executive position.
And when Obama named two women and an African-American man to the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia, Republican opposition prevented them from getting 60 votes, even though no one even pretended they were unqualified.
The GOP argued that the court's four Democratic appointees and four Republicans were not overworked, so the court didn't need its full complement of 11 judges. The real reason was that confirmation would give the Democrats a 7-4 majority among active judges.
Thursday's vote was followed by hysterical forecasts from Republicans and some outside analysts that it would make a bad situation worse. Maybe. The minority retains power to slow final votes, and GOP anger threatens other cooperation. But at least it should be easier for presidents of both parties to get approval of executive branch nominees, plus district and appellate court choices.
Unfortunately, that might also mean naming of more partisan district and circuit judges. And it almost guarantees a 60-vote requirement for any Supreme Court nomination. Because presidents would presumably still seek Supreme Court judges reflecting their ideology, some seats might go unfilled, since neither party has had 60 votes in the past 35 years, except for the nine months Democrats did in 2009-10.
Still, change was bound to happen eventually in a Senate often hamstrung by endless delays.

TEL AVIV (Nov. 19)
United States Ambassador Monnet B. Davis left here today for a tour of the Arab capitals. Embassy sources described the trip as "personal, " but the Hebrew press drew attention to the trip, coupling it with news of a new attempt by American statesmen to bring about a peace settlement between Israel and the Arab states.
(Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Farrag yesterday declared at the United Nations that there can be no prospect of peace with Israel until the Jewish State carries out past decisions of the U. N. concerning the Palestine problem. Among these he included repatriation of Arab refugees and payment of compensation to those who left their homes.)

" Brand: Molton Brown / Type: Hand Lotion / Suitable for: Hand / What it does: Soothes / Skin type: All skin types "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Milton brown Thai vert soothing hand lotion
I tend to like the Molton Brown products and because I usually have hand cream near the sink, thought this would be a handy one to have.
The product costs £16 for 300ml of the stuff and is available online and from department stores. It is expensive so really something I wouldn't buy on a regular basis but great to receive as a gift.
The reason it's handy for the side of the sink is that it comes in a bottle with a pump action dispenser action so no need for tube squeezing after hand washing. It's a simply decorated bottle with only the name of the product on the front and no instructions on the bottle; presumably there is an assumption that everyone knows how to use hand cream!
The product itself is white in colour and when I dispense some onto my hands it is quite a thick cream. I know from the thickness that its not going to manage to dispense the whole product right to the end of the bottle, and in this I have been proved right. However, the consistency of the cream makes it very moisturising and not so thin that I don't feel my hands are benefitting from the application of the cream.
The hand cream is described as being a blend of patchouli and the antioxidant white silver tea with Kaffir lime leaves and lime oil. All very exotic and the smell is quite tangy with the over riding scent for me being patchouli. It's not an overpowering smell but does make my hands smell a bit citrusy and its certainly an uplifting rather than relaxing smell.
The hand cream does massage easily into the skin and leaves no stickiness and because of the consistency a little of the product goes a long way. This is just as well because for the price of it I don't expect to use it all up in a few applications. Another advantage is that after using the cream my hands don't feel all slippy and wet, but because it is absorbed easily, I can almost immediately pick thinks up without running the risk of dropping them.
an expensive hand cream which has lasted me ages even though I do tend to apply the cream every time I wash my hands or the dishes. This makes the initial outlay more palatable but at the time of purchase I hadn't known it would last so long; it has to therefore lose a star for price.
It absorbs easily into the skin and leaves my hands soft moisturised and lightly scented.
Great if expensive hand cream.
Thanks for reading

Molton Brown is a premium beauty company offering various skin, body, mens and fragrance treats.
~Hand Lotion~
When it comes to hand lotions and creams, Molton Brown offer quite a few different options. One option is the Molton Brown Thai Vert Soothing Hand Lotion. Other products in this range include a perfume, hand wash and a scented candle.
This hand lotion is designed to protect, soften and give your hands and cuticles a treat. It contains silver white tea extract which helps protect the hands from premature ageing. The hand lotion should offer a delicate scent to the skin which is a blend of Thai kaffir lime leaves.
Thai kaffir lime leaves offer an uplifting aroma and offer anti-bacterial, toning, antiseptic and deodorising benefits.
The Molton Brown packaging is pretty standard throughout the range. This hand lotion is presented in a round, clear plastic bottle with black writing. The hand lotion is dispensed through a pump dispenser on top of the bottle.
Thai Vert Hand Lotion is available in a 300ml sized bottle. It can be purchased from Molton Brown counters in department stores or through www.moltonbrown.co.uk. It is priced at £15.00.
~My Thoughts~
I received a 100ml bottle of Thai Vert Hand Lotion as part of a present for my birthday back in March. My bottle is ideal for travelling and is fairly expensive looking. The larger 300ml bottle would be ideal for placing in the bathroom to apply after using a hand wash (either the matching product or a different brand). I have used a few different Molton Brown treats in the past and found most of them to be worthy of the premium price.
I do lots of cleaning in my home, run after a toddler and my hands are exposed to the elements of the weather. I like using a hand cream to soften them and keep dry areas to a minimum. My favourite hand cream is the Soap and Glory Hand Food though I am open to trying out new brands. Prior to receiving this hand lotion, I was blissfully unaware of the Thai Vert range from Molton Brown.
~Pump and Smooth~
The pump dispense works adequately and is much easier to handle than a simple screw top bottle. Even from the first use, it has never clogged up which surprises me as the lotion is quite thick. Once my hands are washed and dried, I push down on the dispenser twice and this releases a sufficient amount of lotion to cover both my hands and through my fingers and also across my nails.
The lotion is reasonably thick and feels extra cooling as I massage it across my hands. I pay particular attention to my palms as they often experience dry patches. If my hands are feeling a little tender, this lotion quickly perks them up by offering a soothing feeling. The texture of the cream is very comforting. It is creamy and rich and spreads like a dream covering ever inch of skin.
I did think that due to the thickness of this lotion, it would take an age to absorb. Personally, I hate products which take an age to absorb especially when it comes to my hands. I want to apply, rub it in and get on with my stuff. The white cream soon turned transparent and rather than feel tacky, changed to a silky liquid. It quickly absorbed into my skin leaving a perfectly soft and smooth texture. Every time I use this lotion, any dry patches are quickly swept away and my hands feel like they have been given a healthy dose of nourishment.
I love the way this lotion treats my hands and nails. It feels very luxurious and expensive and certainly of a high quality. The softness my hands experience is fantastic and I am equally impressed with the soft but not flaky texture of my nails. I have noticed a decent improvement in the quality of my nails and after using this lotion, they feel protected and nourised. When I apply this lotion, the softness remains for several hours.
~Thai Scented~
I will be honest here and say that when I first opened the bottle of this lotion, I wasn't impressed by the scent. It was a little plasticky and artificial. Thankfully, the real scent comes through as soon as the lotion is applied to my hands. The Thai Vert scent is quite subtle but pleasant. It has a beautiful fresh, light scent which is a little like bergamot mixed with lemon. The scent is a little leafy and neutral so if a man wished to use this he could without it being too girly or noticeable. The scent lingers on my hands for a good 3 hours or so.
I wouldn't have thought to buy this for myself as I do feel £15.00 is quite a lot to pay for a hand lotion. What you get here is a convenient, well design bottle with a rich, luxurious lotion which effectively pampers your mitts and nails. The scent is nice enough but not the nicest scented hand lotion I have used. It does suit the brand and quality though and is understated.
The quality of this hand lotion shines through and as a little goes a long way, it is financially a decent purchased. My 100ml bottle is lasting well and I use it a few times a week. I would be happy to purchase this as a gift for someone who appreciates Molton Brown but for the scent alone, I would rather revert back to Soap and Glory as its cheaper aswell!
Overall a decent hand lotion with a high recommendation from myself.
Thanks for reading :)
I have tried and used all of the hand cream ranges that Molton Brown offer and my favourite is the Thai Vert Hand Lotion which goes with the handwash with the same fragrance. These currently retail at £15 per bottle and is a luxury item but again I think it is a must-have if you can justify the price tag as you only need one squirt for super soft hands.
Molton Brown is not available in your local supermarket but is available in most Department stores such as John Lewis, Debenhams, Selfridges and they also have their own stores. You will find the Molton Brown products in the perfume and makeup section of the Department stores and you will find a section dedicated to Molton Brown.
The Thai Vert Hand Lotion comes in attractive looking 300ml bottles with a pump action dispenser to enable easy access to this cream. The thai vert cream is pale in colour where some of the others are different in colour. You can also get some travel sizes of their products in order to take them on holiday or to try out a new range. They also tend to give out one or two sample sizes of another product that they sell.
Molton Brown state that this product is 'nourishing and delicately flavoured with Thai kaffir lime leaves' and also contains 'silver white tea extract which has powerful anti-ageing properties.' I cannot vouch as to whether this product is anti-ageing but it most definately moisturises your skin.
I tend to use 2 or 3 bottles of the handwash to every hand lotion. I have an 8 month old baby - so have to wash my hands many times per day. I used to purchase 3 bottles of handwash to 1 handcream per year - but now I can definately say that I purchase nearly double that!
I love this hand lotion that goes with the handwash so much that again there is one in our bathroom, one in the kitchen and one in the cloakroom. I have a Molton Brown double arc in each of the rooms which contains the matching handwash to this hand lotion. The lotion makes my hands very soft and helps with the drying effects that washing up has on my hands!
Whenever I go on holiday or relatives and friends go abroad I always purchase some from Duty Free!
The only gripe that I have is that I find it difficult to get the last dregs out of the bottle and tend to leave the bottle upside down and take the top off.
Its not very often someone buys me a gift to say thank you for helping them out with a little problem, but it is always nice to be appreciated. In my time I have had some nice gifts, some amazing gifts and some weird gifts that have left me wondering "why did they buy that for me" and this occasion is of no exception.
Those readers who read my reviews regularly know that I am a little obsessive about skin scare and yes it usually means I have been to Lush, but on this occasion my gift came in the form of Thai Vert hand cream from Molton Brown. Yes I love Molton Brown products, I find them slightly highly priced for what they actually are and infact would prefer Lush or even Soap and Glory products in their place, but nevertheless it wasn't the Molton Brown label which left me pondering, it was the fact it was a hand cream.
On my desk (use your imagination) I have 3 pots of hand cream - one from Lush, one from Soap and Glory and one Clinique and doing the job I do I use my hands a lot...this could be for typing, printing, stuffing, stacking etc... so my hands do take a bit of a battering and I always have hand cream ready just incase I need it. But why did someone feel the need to buy me a hand cream? That I have no idea unless they just wanted to add to my collection or because they didn't like the look of my hands, which to be fair are usually covered in paper-cuts and ink!
So this lovely hand cream comes in a 300ml plastic bottle (in a one of the nicest gift bags I have ever owned) and the lid forms a pump action dispenser, which is brilliant because it makes it much easier to use and it only dispenses a little amount at any one time, ample enough to coat your hands in and therefore helps to make it last much longer. The bottle itself is see through plastic with the words 'Molton Brown' clearly visible in a brown colour and underneath is a smaller text are the words 'Thai Vert soothing hand lotion' and the cream is an off-white cream colour.
Once I had figured out how the dispenser worked because it wasn't merely a pull it up, pull it own and dispense, it involved twisting actions because you could pump it (very technical) I was greeted with a small 10p sized blob of cream coloured cream on the palm of my hand which immediately gave off a lime scent, not something I was expecting as the main fragrance I have to admit but it did smell really refreshing and similar to the Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena Body Lotion (which I have also reviewed). So when it came to the list of ingredients which are located on the back of the bottle in tiny print, I managed to find two main ingredients which would give me ample time googling to see what they did and perhaps why they are in it, I am fascinated my oils and essential oils and their uses and because I need to know that they are not going to cause irritation to my skin.
The first ingredient is called Kaffir lime leaves and they originate in Thailand and are known mainly for their uplifting aroma and tangy flavour which is the first thing you can smell as I have mentioned. They also have powerful anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties which protect the skin and actively deodorises it to mask any unwanted smells and it soothes the skin at the same time. The second ingredient is known as silver white tea extract, which I had never heard of before and it is said to be a powerful anti-oxidant full of anti-ageing properties which not only protect and care for the skin but they also keep the it free from free radicals which could harm the skin and it works well with the Kaffir Lime leaves too.
When it comes to using this hand cream you do only need that small 10p sized blob because it is more than ample for both hands and as you start to massage the cream into your hands, it is non-greasy and it absorbs itself in the skin with minimal effort and immediate effect which is quite surprising because it is quite a thick textured cream and would imagine it would take a lot of rubbing to massage it into the skin, but thankfully not.
As my hand cream pile has depleted a lot I still have over two thirds of this bottle left and I have been using it more and more as the work load has got bigger and the days longer and having had it on my desk now for over 4 months, I am actually quite impressed at how long it lasts, how long the cream remains fresh smelling and the fact it hasn't dried up or gone crusty, which many similar creams in similar bottles have done in the past and that being the main reason I stopped buying them.
This cream is also going to remain in my office, to the point where each of the three bathrooms now have it next to the sink, is because it is brilliant at instantly moisturising and softening the skin and that my hands remain soft for a good few hours after I have used the hand cream. So if my hands are not in need of any major pampering then I use this cream. Added to that, the aroma from this hand cream is simply divine and it stays evident upon the skin for many hours after using.
I am really impressed with this hand cream and although I got it free as a gift to purchase it is £15 which could seem like quite a lot of money, but it does leave your hands feeling soft and it is really soothing and it does last a long time and I don't think I will have to replace any of my bottles for the next 3-4 months.
Molton Brown products are widely available online and in sotres such as Debenhams and John Lewis.

Day by Day: Get a smart phone - the quickest way to feel dumb
It isn't that I don't appreciate technology and all the things it has made easier in our lives. It's just that I don't think it is necessary to make me feel like an idiot getting there.
I got a smart phone for Christmas. It was a decision I considered long and hard. It made sense for a lot of reasons. All that stuff about having the Internet and GPS and continual access to my email. Yippee -- who wouldn't be excited to have all their excuses for not being in touch or not doing things completely taken away by a device that gets lost in the bottom of my purse?
But in the end, I went for it and I went big -- in size that is. I looked at that I thing model. It was very nice but then a much bigger alternative caught my eye -- the android -- a tool with a name straight out of a science fiction movie. When it comes to me and gadgets I have to admit, size matters. The android's best loved feature in my book -- I can up the font size to where I can actually read a message or a phone number without digging in that same purse for my cheaters.
After the young man showed me that, I didn't hear much else he said and I've been paying for it ever since.
First up, he and Kevin decided I needed the best, most indestructible case available. I tend to be a little careless with things and considering the investment I was making, I was OK with getting a case that I could both throw across the room when I got mad, or snorkel with if I wanted to.
The only problem was that in order to be that tough, you had to sacrifice a few things -- like being able to be heard on the other end. For those first few days it was a total crap shoot as to whether anyone heard me on my new device. At first the young geniuses at the store decided it just wasn't "sitting in the case right" and, after taking quite a while to break back into the case, it seemed like it might just be a minor thing.
Eventually I had to get a whole new case and everything has been good on that front since.
The truth is I had a hard time even answering the thing at first. When a call came in to the sound of running water (not something a woman my age should have for a ringtone), I did what I had always done -- hit the button. But nothing happens in smart phone land unless you "swipe" and who knew that was such an acquired skill.
The kids have tried to explain the difference between apps and widgets to me but I'm not there yet. I've downloaded everything from Skype to the NY Times but who can think about using them when I can barely figure out how to text on the thing.
That brings me to my "ying and yang" moment with my new smart phone. I was feeling pretty good about my texting ability and decided to write my daughter-in-law a clever message using a favorite phrase of my late mother. She liked to refer to anyone she thought a snob as "Mrs. Rich Bitch from Stinkerville." That's how I signed off on the text but when I looked up it had printed Mrs. "Reich Butch" instead. I figured I had typed it wrong yet again and corrected it and sent it off.
So I was surprised when Rachel responded by wanting to know what a Reich Butch was. I realized it sounded like a group of Nazi fighting stormtroopers. (I'm thinking there might be an app out there that could help me create a Reich Butch comic book). I corrected it again and watched what I came to understand was the phone autocorrecting my bad language. Oh my god. My new phone will not let me swear! It isn't just a smart phone -- it is a smart **s phone.
The kids at the phone store got quite a kick out of that when I went in yet again for help, this time because I didn't know how to take a screen shot of my case of steel to register it. The young woman who checked me in said she had never heard anyone call it that before -- something I find very difficult to believe.
They all told me I could shut the auto-correct off and but I've decided to make my peace with this particular feature of my SmartAs (as auto corrected) phone. It might actually make me a better person. And in the meantime I am having a lot of fun typing in some of my favorite four-letter expressions and seeing what comes up. It's a whole new language.
So dawn it all anyway and what the duck, if you can't beat 'em……

By Guy LeCharles Gonzalez, Chief Executive Optimist, Digital Book World
The debate surrounding ebooks over the past two years has often reminded me of the one that surrounded banner ads in the early days, when they were going to replace print advertising, offer heretofore unimagined data, and completely upend the magazine publishing industry as we knew it. Reality, of course, turned out to be a little different, as publishers found themselves trading "analog dollars for digital pennies," clickthroughs were eventually downplayed in favor of branding, and advertisers shifted increasing percentages of their marketing dollars towards creating their own content, websites, and online communities.
The "business model" became more important than the reason publishers were in business, and the Business Model of the Month Club offers a mind-boggling selection of digital pixie dust, few of which have proven scalable and/or profitable in the long-term beyond the earliest adopting VCs and technology developers who cashed in and moved on to the next big thing as fast as possible.
Too many traditional magazine publishers lost sight of what made them valuable to their readers in the first place (as opposed to their advertisers), and editorial and marketing staffs were slowly transformed and, in many cases, decimated, as content became increasingly devalued in a race to the bottom. The major new media success stories have ended up being variations on an old theme, attracting maximum eyeballs for fickle advertisers, and the biggest winner of all ended up being a little technology company that's never published a single piece of original content of its own, Google.
It took a while for me to buy into Electric Literature, a publishing startup launched in 2009, and its intriguing but seemingly futile mission "to use new media and innovative distribution to return the short story to a place of prominence in popular culture."
In the beginning, I thought co-founders/editors Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum were just pitching yet another "innovative business model" untethered to reality, and pretty much dismissed any chance of their still being around in 2011. I was highly skeptical of the Twitter / Rick Moody experiment that first put them on many people's radars, and during their appearance at the 2009 Ebook Summit, I tweeted: "Love Electric Lit's approach and intent, in theory, but where's the market? Is the tech tail wagging the dog here?"
Turns out, I was wrong about them.
Although I've always shared their sense of optimism for the potential of short stories to return to prominence via digital channels — as does The Atlantic, and Amazon — I'm now equally optimistic about their playing a significant role in achieving that potential, not because they talk a good game, but because to-date, they've executed on their strategy exceptionally well.
In late October, Hunter wrote an excellent piece for Publishers Weekly, "Literature, Plugged In," that I've had bookmarked ever since, and refer to often as I look forward to 2011:
[The Twitter/Moody] experience showed us that risk-taking requires a willingness to fail. Failure is the inevitable first step to success, and an experiment only truly fails when it yields no useful results. We were fortunate that we didn't have to worry about being fired during the maelstrom. In an environment where people are afraid of losing their jobs, the risk involved with experimentation is a strong disincentive. Yet without experimentation, traditional publishers will not successfully adapt to the digital age.
I've preached the Gospel of Experimentation before, and Hunter acknowledges one of its biggest obstacles, the fear of losing one's job being a strong disincentive. On that note, I quote Don Linn: "Your old job, whatever it was, doesn't exist anymore (even if the title does)."
In the aftermath of that "maelstrom," they've announced and launched Electric Publisher, an intriguing platform that enables small presses and authors to execute and monetize their own digital strategies via the iPhone/iPad App Store, because they firmly believe that "a thriving independent press is critical to our culture." And last week, at the 2010 Ebook Summit, they announced broadcastr, "a Social Media platform for location-based stories" that reminds me of MondoBizzaro's I-Witness Central City, but on a global scale.
Both initiatives go well beyond what I ever expected from a small literary publisher, but both fit squarely within their core mission and made me realize that, not only are they very serious about it, they're actively working towards achieving it.
The way the publishing world is embracing this new platform is in stark contrast to how the music industry reacted to new technology changing its business model, and I think that where they failed and lost their way, publishing will adapt and strengthen and will play a defining role in this technology's development.
"The Novel is not under threat from technology," Mark Wernham
Disruption doesn't acknowledge titles or job descriptions, and often inspires innovation from unlikely and/or unheralded sources.
While the technology enabling the latest wave of disruption tends to get a disproportionate amount of attention, what's far more interesting and predictive of the future is the user behavior driving the technological innovations, and the initiatives that find success at the chaotic intersection of publishing and technology.
Electric Literature is just one of myriad examples of what the digital future might hold, very different from each other except in one respect: it's not about their business model, it's about their reason for being in business.
If your core pitch is your "innovative" business model and not what you publish and for whom, your 15 minutes are almost up.

The second, probably iPhone® one.
sam, yes, there is a fisheye on an iphone now…idiot moron prick.
first ones is way better. right jackkthemackk?
extra bonus on my wolf looking shadow about to devour the rider.
Firing Squad is a photo battle, not a photoshop/colour correction battle.
Photo 1 FTW
@Jason P
Photoshop and color correction are apart of photography now a days.
The 2nd picture would still be awesome, even with out the photoshopping.
@Lindsay J
Photoshop may be apart of photography. But after a certain amount of "editing," the actual photography part of the picture is no longer the art. With this said, photo 2 is awful Photoshop work anyways. It is a poor attempt to make a blurry picture taken with too slow of a shutter speed for a night picture look decent. Guaranteed photo1 was worked up but look how beautiful it still looks. Great shot Paris. There is no way you should lose.
the person doing the miller flip isn't even the focal point of the picture. Each time I look at it I am focused on the snow below it
I voted the second one just for the h8ers
@Matt Kusbel
your from michigan how can you not vote for a kid riding at a michigan hill.
Cannonsburg or die.
Wow. This was probably the closet photo battle I've seen in a while.

High-Tech Fork Counts Your Mouthfuls
Inventors in one part of the world often observe problems elsewhere and develop solutions. Researchers have long pointed out that eating too fast leads to weight gain and obesity. Quick eaters take in too much before realizing their stomachs are full. So engineer Jacques Lépine invented a fork with electronics in the handle, designed to vibrate and turn red if users insert food into their mouth without waiting at least 10 seconds per bite. Lépine is from France, renowned for its cultural focus on fine food and long, leisurely meals. "In our busy life, it's good to be reminded of how we eat as well as what we eat," notes the website for HAPIlabs, the company based in Hong Kong that makes the fork. HAPIfork can transfer data to computer files so diners can monitor behavior – "to slow down eating habits, improve digestion and help with weight control," reports Bruce Kennedy for MSN Money. No word if makers are developing HAPIchopsticks. Like good food, good ideas will travel. – YaleGlobal

text: Utah's gymnastics team doesn't believe it is headed in the wrong direction despite slipping down the national rankings again this week. The Utes, who held the No. 1 ranking for three weeks, went from No. 5 to No. 7 in this week's ranking. Utah was expecting such a drop this week since the rankings moved to the regional qualifying score formula which counts three road scores. The Utes haven't earned very high marks on the road this season but aren't concerned. "With our away scores we knew it was coming," senior Stephanie McAllister said. "It's what we've said all along, we can't dwell on the scores or the things that happened in the last meet. We have to focus on the things we need to work on as a team and focus on the end goal, not the rankings." Florida and Oklahoma remained No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. UCLA improved from No. 6 to No. 3 after it posted a 198.05 in a win over Arizona State (194.85). The score was the highest this year by any team and the highest by a UCLA team since it won the 2004 NCAA Championship. The Bruins had 49.475 or better on each event and 13 marks of 9.9 or higher. Nebraska also had a big jump, moving from No. 9 to No. 6. Individually, Corrie Lothrop is ranked No. 9 in the all-around (39.325) to be the only Utah representative among the Top 10 in the various categories. - Lya Wodraska

Quoting D♥'sK:" (For your child) How do you start it? What age do you start it?"
start with simple commands like please, more, eat, etc to express common needs i started with my kids at 5 months and they caught on quick a childs brain absorbs info quicker than an adults does (i took child development for 2-3 yrs) :)
DS started at 15 months and now knows 15-20 signs 5 months later. He's in speech therapy because he doesn't want to talk. We started out with one sign: more. We would give him one cracker or snack and ask him if he wanted more, and did the sign ourselves, then we did his hands into the sign for him and would immediately give him more. After a couple days he figured out if he did the hand gesture he got something he wanted. Once he was using "more" frequently we introduced milk and juice and he caught on to those very quickly. Now we only have to show him a new sign once or twice and he knows it :) I'm going to start sign language very early with DS2. 3 months or so, just showing him the signs when I talk.
My parents taught me sign when I was a kid. My mom said they started it with speech. So as I was starting to talk they started to integrate signs. Basically, just talk and sign at the same time. That's what my SO and I are going to do with our son.
