One small nit to pick:
née, with the extra e at the end, is for females. Ronald, a.k.a. Maulana, may not be pleased. The proper form for a male is né. The form "née" is by far the most common in English for the simple reason that men rarely change their surnames.
In response to:
1) Are you saying it's impossible?
2) Are you saying that the creators of Microsoft, Home Depot, and McDonald's were all born rich? Oh, and my self-employed plumber friend, excavator friend, carpenter friend, paid-his-own-way-through-college-and-grad-school engineer friend - all must have been born rich, because they could not have created their own self-employed job, right?
3) All jobs are controlled by a plutocratic conspiracy controlled by the Koch brothers, right? Or is that the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers? No, it must be the Rothchilds. Wait - no, it's the papacy. Dang, I just can't keep all this straight in my little tiny brain.
In response to:
The chart is interesting, but only modestly so.
Its message would be much better if it were normalized for inflation local to the country in question (granted, it's plucked from another source, but it appears not to be so normalized) -- or normalized to a standard basket of goods.
Further, it does not show that the /poor/ are better off. Per capita GDP /could/ rise by the rich getting all the money. I don't at all believe this is the case, but the graph does not show that it isn't. In other words, while showing that per-capita (all capita, i.e. all heads, i.e. all people) GDP rises in Hong Kong faster than in France, it would be good to show that, concomitantly, the share of GDP of the working poor also rises.
I would intentionally exclude the non-working poor, i.e. those on the public dole, because their share of GDP is unlikely to rise much, if at all, in a growing economy. If included with the working poor (e.g. by simply studying the bottom quintile), their constant income would tend to flatten that curve, thus supporting or even enhancing the argument of those who think that a growing economy does not help the poor. It would seem self-evident that a growing economy does not help those who live off a constant monthly welfare check, or at least not to a great extent, but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise if my H-null is incorrect.
The most incurable disease is ...
It's BAD, BAAAAD ... if you send your kid to private school. (You pay for the public school anyway, but so what?)
So is it not equally bad to allow parents to decide to live in a nice, affluent suburb, so as to send their kid to THIS public school rather than THAT one? So to REALLY, TRULY make our public schools good, we have to FORCE parents to live in the city where they work. No more suburbia, no sir!
Several problems with this column:
1) Buses travel on publicly financed roads, so that $20 probably does not reflect the true cost. On the other hand, the $150 for the train (which one?) is probably not the full cost, since the feds pay Amtrak's infrastructure cost. Amtrak recovers much but not even all of its "operating" costs.
2) I am opposed to federal funding of the California train. However, to build it from nowhere to nowhere is politically smart. The middle of the proposed line is where the line can be most easily, most cheaply built. Once it's built, a political case can then be made for extending it closer to the cities, which becomes much more expensive due to land costs in general, and eminent domain claims in particular.
3) Government is ONLY good at breaking things. So the military fits perfectly, since this is one of their jobs by their own admission.
There appear to be only 2 options: Either:
1) attach a defunding of Obamacare to an omnibus bill that funds both necessary (Defense) and popular (veterans' benefits, Social Security) items, or:
2) write a bill that funds Obamacare at zero OR adds a 10-year Trust Fund, forces Obamacare to be funded via a separate tax, as a separate line-item on wages, and disallows deficit funding - thus immediately jacking up its cost by 150% and forcing the public at large to deal with it.
The statistics in this column require more analysis that has been given.
First off, Bush was in office 8 years; Obama, only 4.5 so far. 188:4.5 :: 1:8 is a much larger disparity than is being suggested in the column.
Secondly: Obamacare did not get passed until near the very end of year 2 of Pres. Obama's first term. So if Obamacare is truly the reason for the 188 visits, then they should all have occurred in the last 2 years of term 1 and the half year thereafter. Thus, 188 visits / 2.5 years. But was this the case? Was there actually an uptick in the number of visits per annum /after/ the passage of Obamacare, or not? If not, it suggests that Obamacare is an excuse or a lie.
(2) There shall be no limit to the number of terms a person may serve in the House of Representatives nor Senate, but no person shall be eligible for the said office unless they have physically resided with their fellow citizens in the district, for the House, or state, for the Senate, from which they shall have been elected, for a period of time of at least three-quarters of the time for which they shall have been elected. Time in elected and appointed offices of the state or federal government served outside of the district or state, respectively, shall not qualify as residency in one's district or state, respectively.
2 more Amendments for your cogitation:
No person shall be eligible for the office of the President or Vice-President, having any relative whether living or deceased, of the third degree or closer, who has been elected as President; but it will be permissible for persons having previously served as Vice-President to be elected to the office of President.

Joining the Navy is up to you. You may get sent on IA missions to the middle east even if you do not want to go. You may get sent to forward deployed Japan where you are underway on a ship 300 days a year and rarely pull in. The Navy is a good ol boys club and you have no say in your fate whatsoever.

1759 - 1833
William Wilberforce, born August 24, 1759, was the only son of Robert and Elizabeth Wilberforce of Hull, England. He was a delicate child, not very strong physically. From early childhood he showed compassion for others.
His grandfather was a merchant who imported hemp*, timber, and iron ore and exported many products from Yorkshire. William had three sisters, but one died at age 8 and another at age 14. Only Sarah lived to be an adult.
When William was only 9 years old his father died and he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle, Hannah and William Wilberforce at Wimbledon. He was placed in a private school where he remained for two years. He received early religious training while living with them.
The evangelist John Newton was a good friend of the family. He visited in their home and William and his aunt and uncle also visited in the Newton home. He was a former slave-ship captain, but he forsook the trade and spent the rest of his life working to free the slaves and prevent further enslavement. Newton would conduct "parlor* preaching" in his home for his family and guests.
Wilberforce House, birthplace of William Wilberforce
William's mother was a socialite who enjoyed going to parties and the theater. William had been sent to Wimbledon when she became ill. When she was better she sent for him to come home. She was a member of the Church of England and became alarmed at the influence of these "Evangelical* Methodists" on her son. She had other goals for him. She didn't want him to continue having contact with his aunt and uncle and the people he had met while staying with them. However, he continued to write to them without his mother's consent.
After returning home he began to drift away from his faith and by the time he went to St. John's College, Cambridge he embraced a life of partying and excess. He was very entertaining, sang well, and was a brilliant conversationalist. He had a lot of friends. While in college he had dinner parties in his room and invited his friends to come and enjoy food and wine with him. During this time he made contacts with people who, like himself, would become well-known leaders in England. One of the people he met in college was William Pitt who would later become Prime Minister*.
When he was nearly through college his grandfather and his cousin interested him in Parliament. William Pitt was the main impetus for his decision to enter politics. The family fortune made it possible for him to embark on such a career, and the associations he had made in college were helpful to him politically.
He campaigned in his hometown of Hull and received nearly every vote. He was only 21 years old when he was elected to Parliament* for Kingston upon Hull. Three years later he was reelected as a Member of Parliament for Yorkshire. Wilberforce and Pitt remained friends even when William, to satisfy his conscience*, had to vote against his friend.
A turning point in his life came when he made a tour of Europe with Isaac Milner, the younger brother of Joseph Milner who had been the headmaster of the grammar school he attended. They had long talks as they traveled together. William was convinced to devote his life to Jesus Christ and to the cause of the abolition* of slavery in the British colonies.
He began to read the Bible and underwent a spiritual conversion. He regretted the way he had lived his life as a young man. He felt that he had wasted those college years by putting his main focus on partying and playing cards. He determined he would use his public office to bring about social change, mainly the freeing of the slaves.
When William was 37 years old he met Barbara Spooner, a 20 year old woman and fell in love with her. They had the same ideals and shared a common faith. They married after a very short courtship and within 10 years had 6 children. William was devoted to his wife and children.
In the 44 years he served in Parliament he never lost an election, but the cause he espoused*, the abolition of the slave trade, was defeated 11 times before the Slave Trade Act finally passed in 1807. He had worked 20 years and had used his position in Parliament to bring about this change. The first victory the abolitionists had was the abolishment of the slave trade, but this did not make slavery unlawful. It made the shipment of slaves unlawful. This reduced the number of people continuing to be enslaved by about 75%. The bill passed by 283 votes for and 16 votes against.
Many British ships were used to transport slaves. Some people estimate that 11 million Africans were taken from their native lands and sold as slaves to work in the colonies. Rev. James Ramsay told William of the horrible conditions on the slave ships. Read about the slave ship Brooks
It would take another 26 years before slavery was abolished in the British Empire. In 1833 Wilberforce learned the bill had been passed only days before he died. Ten years later slavery was abolished in India, and in the United States the 13th Amendment freeing the slaves was enacted December 18, 1865.
These iron quoits, as seen in the picture on the left, were made for the purpose of bartering them for slaves on the African coast. Quoits are used in a game similar to the game of pitching horseshoes. Such artifacts can be seen at the Wilberforce House Museum.
William Wilberforce Journal (right)
William Wilberforce also worked for justice in other areas such as prison reform, workers' rights, prevention of cruelty to animals, and education. We learn much about him from journals he kept and letters he wrote to people.
In 2007 a film Amazing Grace was produced. That year marked 200 years since the bill of 1807 had been passed. After the Slave Trade Act was passed, thousands of slaves were rescued from ships where they had been imprisoned. The movie tells of the life and effort of William Wilberforce and other notables who were instrumental in abolishing slavery.
Even though laws have been passed outlawing slavery, it still exists in some parts of the world today. Children are kidnapped by slave traders or, in some cases, sold by their poverty-stricken parents for as little as $15. Some enslaved children work long hours without benefit of schooling or basic necessities of life. Christian Solidarity International is an example of an organization which buys back some of the children and frees them from their owners.
This biography by Patsy Stevens, a retired teacher, was written in 2001.
Many of the facts in this story were found in the books William Wilberforce, A Hero for Humanity by Kevin Belmonte and The Life of Wilberforce by his sons Robert Isaac Wilberforce and Samuel Wilberforce

China-Arab expo to take place in September
Beijing, July 22, 2013
The 2013 Chine-Arab States Expo, which will focus on the key areas including agriculture, energy, chemicals and new technologies, is set to be held in Ningxia, China in September.
The expo will take place from September 15 to 19 and will act as an international cooperation platform to enhance cooperation between China and the Arab world.
Despite the global economy's slow recovery, China's cooperation with Arab countries is increasingly vibrant, with bilateral trade experiencing fast growth. China's bilateral trade with Arab countries reached a new high, with 14 per cent year-on-year growth to $222.4 billion in 2012, said a statement.
Ningxia Hui region chairman Liu Hui said that the State Council approved the establishment of the Ningxia inland open economic pilot zone and the Yinchuan comprehensive bonded zone last September, putting Ningxia at the forefront of a recent policy to try new and different approaches to developing trade opportunities.
The event's name was changed from the China-Arab States Economic and Trade Forum to the China-Arab States Expo. It is being co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and the government of Ningxia Hui autonomous region, he added.
Several domestic and foreign political leaders have been invited to speak at the opening ceremony, with each speaker presenting their vision for development and their proposals for achieving that development.
The event will include forums and conferences including the China-Arab Agricultural Cooperation Forum, the China-Arab Energy Cooperation Forum, the China-Arab Financial Cooperation Forum, the World Muslim Commercial Traveler Conference, the China-GCC Countries Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum, and the China-Arab Infrastructure Investment and Financing Forum, besides exhibits on halal foods and supplies. - TradeArabia News Service

Look into yourself and see

Big Troubleby Dave Barry

Publisher Putnam Adult Language English Edition Hardcover › Find signed collectible books: 'Big Trouble' |
Dave Barry, the only newsman to win a Pulitzer for exemplary use of words like booger, will please humor and crime-fiction fans alike with this racy debut novel. The scene is Miami. In ritzy Coconut Grove, the teen son of Eliot, a newsman turned adman, sneaks up to spritz a cute girl with a Squirtmaster 9000 to win a high school game called Killer. Meanwhile, two hit men sneak up to kill the girl's abusive stepdad, Arthur. Arthur cheated his bosses at corrupt Penultimate, Inc., which equipped a Florida jail with automatic garage-opener gates that accidentally freed prisoners in a lightning storm.
Farcical confusion ensues, witnessed by a saintly bum named Puggy, camped in a tree in Arthur's yard. Puggy works at the Jolly Jackal Bar & Grill, which has no grill and actually sells guns and bombs to an offshoot of the Crips and Bloods called the Cruds, and to Penultimate (which plans to conquer Cuba). But when dim thugs Eddie and Snake rob the Jolly Jackal and Arthur tells them it's a Russian mob front selling bombs, the proprietor snorts, "Bombs, pfft! No bombs! Is bar."
Can Snake and Eddie spirit a suitcase nuke through Miami, "where most motorists obeyed the traffic and customs of their individual countries of origin"? Can Eliot and cop Monica Rodriguez save the day? And how do the 300-pound hallucinogenic Enemy Toad, the 13-foot-long python Daphne, highway goats, and the Denture Adventure seniors' theme park fit in? Everything fits perfectly, including a few dark passages new to Barry's work. But one warning: if you read this book while drinking milk, at some point it will spurt out of your nostrils. --Tim Appelo [via]

New CMS Fields Help
14 January 2009 at 12:51am
Hi all. New to Silverstripe, so far I think it's a great tool, having lots of fun learning. Have been trying to add new fields to the CMS and am having some trouble. Followed the tutorials on adding Date and Author fields, from there figured out how to add two new text fields and pull them into the CMS:
class HomePage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Recent Work' => 'Text',
'New Work' => 'Text'
static $has_one = array(
);function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Recent Work'));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('New Work'));return $fields;
}The problem I'm having is that I can't get the fields to display text-wrapping. Right now, they both show up under $Content, which is where I want them, but they only display a single line. I'd like them to function similarly to the $Content field - e.g. expanding as needed when data dictates. Also, the default font that is applied to content in these new fields appears different to that applied to data put into the $Content field. I know fonts will be handled on the site by my CSS, but it seems odd that new fields don't correspond with the existing format. Might be useful if the tutorial addressed this type of customization as opposed to just the single line examples. Thanks in advance for any help and or insights.
Re: New CMS Fields Help
14 January 2009 at 1:55am
The input fields are one line, as you have choosen the TextField as the type (the new TextField("XXX", "XXX");
Check this wiki page: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=form-field-types
Here you can see that the "TextareaField" is a multiline text input and if you like it as the $Content, you should use "HtmlEditorField". Please note, that if you choose to use the HtmlEditorField, you should also change the $db array from "Text" to "HTMLText". See: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=htmleditorfield
Hope this helps,

Hard at work on making this 1960′s Fleetwood audio console usable again, [Travis] packed a lot of power into the retro case. Both the radio and turn table had stopped working but the cabinet looks great and the speakers still work. In the lower center cavity you'll now find a full computer motherboard and replacement amplifier. A new turntable has been added with an interesting vibration-dampening shelf to support it. [Travis] built the shelf with a void in between two layers of wood which he filled with sand to help with isolation. The remote control for the amp also needed some work as the receiver is pointed to the back of the unit. To fix that a second IR receiver found a home behind the fabric for one of the speaker grates. That receiver is monitored by an ATmega168 microcontroller and signals are repeated back to an IR LED mounted near the amplifier.
Turntable light sequencer
[Benjamin] built a sequencer that uses a turntable and light sensors to lay down a funky beat. If you like creepy videos with repeated gratuitous corderoy-clad rear-ends we've got you covered after the break. Art film aside, he's got an interesting project. Four light sensors are mounted below the turning record with LEDs hovering above. His hatred for old LP records is apparent because holes must be drilled in a disc for the light to shine through. The four notes in the sequence can be altered in voice and color, along with controls for motor speed and direction. The project also has four manual inputs to add some variety to the repetitive beat sequence. It's a bit less practical than the penny sequencer but fun none-the-less.
Hey man, you seen my turntable around here?
It's all fine and dandy to have a turntable that sounds great, but [Mike] wanted one that looks great too. He build the transparent record player above and loved it for a little while. When his interest in it waned he built another, then several more. They all have some element of transparency to them, and each is a work of art. Makes us wonder how often he needs to dust his house to keep them looking so good.
Is turntable technology too advanced for your tastes? You can stick with your Edison cylinder, we won't make fun.
[Thanks John]
HDDJ: hard drive as rotary input
[nvillar] wanted a relatively cheap way to make a rotary input device for audio mixing. After looking at several options including turn tables and professional audio scrubbers, they decided on the hard drive due to its size, price, and the feel of the disk. The geek factor of using a hard drive as an input device probably didn't hurt either. They provide schematics and details on how to make it all work. There's a video after the break of the unit sending signals to a computer. No performances though, sorry.
Physical value of sound
The Royal College of Art in London recently hosted its annual graduate summer show, where postgrad students exhibit some of their artistic and musical projects. Among those featured this year were several vinyl record and turntable mods by [Yuri Suzuki].
Touchscreen turntables, scratching without vinyl
While we were researching the AudioCubes, we ran into this amazing DJ system by designer [Scott Hobbs]. He calls it the ATTIGO TT, and it uses two touchscreens to simulate the turntables on a conventional system. More technical details after the break.


text: Hi, currently I am able to build pfctl and authpf in freebsd-utils source package. Patch is in svn. But I have not yet used packet filter, so I cannot properly test. Please, could someone test whether they are really working ? You can build them from source or I can send two binaries. Currently they are builded during build of net-tools binary package. Should they stay in net-tools or should they go into own package (in this case, please suggest name). Also script for /etc/init.d/ would be appreciated. Thanks Petr

Never underestimate the internet's love of cats! The father who told his children they could have a kitten if they got 1,000 likes on Facebook... then they came up with this
Never underestimate the power of a pair of adorable kids asking for a kitty on Facebook.
Dan Urbano told his two children that if they could get 1,000 Facebook Likes on their plea for a cat - he would give in and get a four-legged fury friend for the family in Newton, Massachusetts.
But he had no idea their adorable post would go viral, amassing nearly 120,000 likes and over 100,000 shares from across the globe on the social networking website.
Scroll down for video.
Heart melt: Little Evelyn Urbano and her 7-year-old brother Remi took to Facebook for their campaign to convince their dad to get them a kitty cat
Like: These adorable siblings (dressed in Harry Potter regalia for Halloween) stole the hearts of thousands of Facebook users worldwide
Marisa Papile Urbano helped her two children, 7-year-old Remi and his cute toddler sister, Evelyn, write their wish on a white board.
'Hey Facebook! My sister and I really want a CAT. Our papa promises we can get one if we can get 1,000 Likes. Please Like this picture. Thank you!' the plea read, as the little ones smiled excitedly holding up the board.
The mom added her own commentary to the posting on November 5.
'Dan thinks there is NO way we can do this. I say there is. Help us out. We really want a cat named Hairy Pawturrr. If you can't like, shares. Shares count too! Thanks so much everyone!!'
At last: 7-year-old son Remi shows off his prized possession, a tabby cat they named Hairietta Pawturr, in honor of their favorite book
Yay: Evelyn and Remi just couldn't contain their excitement at welcoming their new kitty to their home
Can I live here? Little Evelyn explored a cat cave at a pet store, as the family stocked up on gear for their new addition
But the heart warming post quickly gained a following, first with friends and family and by November 6 it went viral across the globe with Likes coming in across Europe and Asia from people they didn't even know.
The posting easily crossed the 1k threshold, much to the astonishment of the skeptical father who told a co-worker, 'Maybe I under shot it.'
'I knew it was going to hit 1k at some point - I thought it would take longer than 2 hrs,' he said, in blog posting by Mimoco - the Boston based design company where he works as an Operations Manager.
'I thought it would take a week or so. I knew I was screwed when within an hour we had 400 likes and Marisa was still trying to figure out how to make the picture 'public' once she figured that out that's when things started going nuts.'
Home sweet home: The family adopted a tabby cat, they named Hairietta L. Pawturr, from a local shelter and the feline friend has found a cozy spot at the Urbano's home
Once the little Urbanos lived up to their part of the deal, their father had no choice but cave in and get them a feline friend.
They decided to choose a cat from the Ellen M Gifford Cat Shelter in Brighton, Massachusetts and chose a green-eyed tabby, they selected over the weekend, and they named her 'Hairietta L. Pawturr.'
They had originally decided 'Hairy Pawturr' in honor of their love for the fantasy book but feminized the name when they chose a girl.
A little help from mom: Marisa Urbano helped her two children take their plea for a cat viral
They said her middle initial stands for 'Likes,' to pay tribute to the online method that helped the youngsters secure their friend.
'Thank you to all the kind souls out there who rooted for our kids and taught us all a few lessons about how much kindness there really is in the world and how powerful social networks are,' the mom posted in a message after the amazing online endeavor.
'We never intended to get this much attention, but are so happy to have put smiles on some faces and most importantly to have saved a life. Thank you to the Ellen Gifford Cat Shelter for helping us find our newest family member, they are a wonderful organization and were so kind to our family. Hooray for happy endings!'
Though Dan wasn't too enthusiastic about the new addition initially, he now said he thinks cats are 'OK.'
'Out of all the pets we could have gotten, a cat is the best I could think of but we're getting rid of all our fish now.'
After all the hoopla, the dad admitted that his son is most 'excited to prove me wrong.' Like.

Photo: Erin Kunkel This berry cake first appeared in a Betty Crocker ad in 1945 and is as simple as pouring batter into a pan, laying sugared fruit over it and scattering both with a crumb topping. It's equally delicious for dessert or breakfast.
DirectionsGrease a 2 1/2-quart square baking dish or 9-inch square cake pan with the 1 Tbsp. soft butter. Center an oven rack and preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss together the berries with the sugar and the brandy or vanilla. Set aside at room temperature while making the rest of the cake. To make the topping, combine the sugar, flour, and ginger in a small bowl. Blend the butter into the dry ingredients, using either your fingertips or a fork, until the mixture forms crumbs. Put the topping in the freezer while you mix the cake batter. To make the cake, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and using your fingertips, work it completely into the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together and stir them into the dry ingredients until combined. Spread the batter into your buttered pan. Evenly distribute the sugared berries on top of the batter. Scatter the chilled topping over the berries. Place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake until the berries bubble and the cake is firm (ignoring those places where the crumb topping has melted into the cake, since it's hard to tell in those oh-so-buttery spots), 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 30 minutes and serve warm from the dish. Well wrapped and stored at room temperature, this cake keeps for up to 2 days.

Historical Traveler Reviews Marble Arch Inn London
DO NOT STAY HERE. The deals are cheap but I could NOT believe that I was paying more than $20 for this place -
-small, cramped, dorm like rooms with used furniture
- low ceilings - watch the head
- no elevator
- no message system so the front desk has to physically tell you of calls
don't let the "charmiing" outside facade fool you - this is AWFUL
Small but fine if you're on a budget
Yes, it is small but if you're on a budget of �50 a night that's to be expected!! The staff are typically London friendly and the breakfast is delivered outside your door in a basket which is good if you don't like geting out of bed early! 2 min walk from Oxford street in famous W1 postcode area- I think it's not that bad....and I know there's much worse for the same price. I stayed there and thought it was really the average London hotel but of course if you turn up with 2 suitcases and 2 kids it's not going to be easy.....good for young,single people on a short term stay!
Friendly people, but...???
I had read mixed reviews on another site, but my booking was last minute and it was very hard to find places around Marble Arch at an acceptable rate. So I decided to take the venture, it was for two nights anyway and I would be there to sleep only. The people have done their best, this is not against them. In fact, when I left my things there before I could check in they were quite helpful. But I never will stay there again and will recommend it to no-one.
What a complete dump
Horrible. we arrived at wasa dingy hall into a tiny dirty office. He wanted Payment upfront for the 3 nights I said I wanted a look at the room first, well one look and we were out the door. It was the family room in the basment with bars on the windows and a stairwell outside the windows. He refused to give us another room and insisted on charging us for 1 night 95 pounds even when I told him I would post this notice on the website. He said he didn't care! I even told him the picture of the room on the web was not even simular and it said nothing about being in the basement he did not care.
Don't stay here if you're claustrophobic!
I booked this hotel from seeing their web site and as soon as we arrived in the taxi my stomach lurched! It is the usual B&B type London renovated townhouse (several knocked into one). Yes there are plenty of rooms but only because they're postage stamp sized and if you've brought large luggage with you, don't try to unpack! Once we were in the room our two suitcases and backpacks barely fit in there.
Stay away from this place!
I recently stayed here for three nights with my husband and daughter. We were extremely unhappy. The room was very tiny for three people and was so hot we had to keep the window opened with an ashtray. There was not enough room for our luggage...to open it or store it. It was difficult to get up and down the stairs with luggage and the halls were so small you couldn't open the door without disturbing a neighbor's breakfast bowl of prepackaged cereal, bun and yogurt. There was no place to put clothes and the linens, rugs and furnishings were very shabby. The bathroom was tiny and annoying difficult to use. For the price we paid we got very little. I discovered too late that there are many nicer places costing the same or less. Would never go here again!!!
Family Room not recommended!
The "Family" Room was in the basement and tiny. It was very hot, no air circulation, and too noisy to open windows (facing the street). THe air conditioner did not work. Plus it is beside the "kitchen" so more heat from there. When we advised the front desk, they gave us a fan.
When we decided we couldn't stay, we asked for a refund - but they refused. We offered to pay for the first night, if they would credit the 2nd, but they would not.
We left and stayed at the Holiday Inn Kensington (beautiful - and same price!). We called several times to speak with the manager of the Marble ARch, but were given the runaround. Finally we reached him, and he still refused to refund anything. Not a good experience!
Good for a budget accomodation
The Marble Arch Inn is a cosy little hotel. The location is terrific, about a 5 mins walk from Marble Arch tube station. The refurbishment seems good to me. Of course the rooms are quite small, I've never seen big rooms in London! But it's good value for the price. Yes, the breakfast consists of a basket full of goodies, but I found it far better than breakfast in other hotels. I'd recooment this hotel if you want a budget accomodation, and if you don't expect the Grand Hotel.
Friendly hotel
A co-worker and I spent a week at the Marble Arch Inn in London in March. The location of the hotel is terrific. It is right off Oxford Street, accessible to buses, taxis, sightseeing open top buses and shopping.The hotel staff was very accommodating, however, the website touts a "million dollar makeover" which was not evident at the hotel. The room's door chain lock was falling off the door and there were numerous cigarette butts strewn about the window box/open doors on the first floor room. The maid staff was efficient and the front desk staff most accommodating. When we checked in the small room they showed us would not do. They gave us a larger room at the same price for our week's stay. Overall with a few minor adjustments this hotel could improve in class.

Preferences for government enforcement of a common pool harvest quota: Theory and experimental evidence from fishing communities in Colombia
We examine individual harvesters' preferences for government enforcement of a quota imposed on the exploitation of a common pool resource. We develop a model of Nash behavior by identical risk neutral harvesters to explain individual equilibrium preferences for enforcement of an efficient harvest quota. If the quota is not enforced well, we demonstrate that individual harvesters will always prefer increased enforcement—either increased monitoring or increased penalties—of the quota. We conduct a test of this theoretical result with data from framed common pool resource experiments conducted in artisanal fishing communities in three regions of Colombia. Subjects were given the opportunity to express their preferences for enforcement by voting on two levels of enforcement of a harvest quota, with and without communication. The two enforcement strategies involved the same probability that the government would audit individual harvesters, but differed in the level of the penalty for noncompliance. Contrary to theory, individuals voted for the lower inefficient penalty about 80% of the time and groups implemented this weaker enforcement strategy over 90% of the time. Giving subjects the opportunity to vote on the enforcement strategy did not lead to more efficient harvests, nor did allowing subjects to communicate before voting.Download Info

ABC of Reading
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (December 2012) |
ABC of Reading is a book by Ezra Pound published in 1934. In it, Pound sets out an approach to the appreciation and understanding of literature (focusing primarily on poetry). Despite its title the text can be considered as a guide to writing poetry. The work begins with the "Parable of the sunfish" and contains several strikingly informative mantras:
- "Literature is language charged with meaning: Great literature is simply charged with meaning to the utmost degree" - to be achieved by three main ways:
- phanopoeia - throwing the object (fixed or moving) on to the visual imagination.
- melopoeia - inducing emotional correlations by sound and rhythm of the speech.
- logopoeia - inducing 1 & 2 by stimulating associations with other word/word groups.
- "Literature is news that stays news".
- "Music rots when it gets too far from the dance. Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music."
- "I've never read half a page of Homer without finding melodic invention."
- "Without the foregoing minimum of poetry in other languages you simply will not know where English poetry comes."
- "From Chaucer you can learn whatever came over into the earliest English that one can read without a dictionary."
- "Artists are the antennae of the race."
- "Man can learn more about poetry by really knowing and examining a few of the best poems than by meandering about among a great many."
- "One of the pleasures of middle age is to find out that one was right, and that one was much righter than one knew at say seventeen or twenty-three."
- "The honest critic must be content to find a very little contemporary work worth serious attention; but he must be ready to recognize that little..."
- "There are three types of melopoeia, i.e. verse made to sing; to chant/intone; and to speak. The older one gets the more one believes in the first. One reads prose for the subject matter."

While backing up my laptop, lo and behold, I find some portraits I took years ago! Enjoy!(Source: thejrod)
What did I do during the 12/12/12 blackout? Construct my first menswear piece…a cowl-necked, stretch cotton hoodie. I'd like to point out that I just learned how to sew four days ago, and am very proud of my creation, so don't judge too harshly. LOL (Source: thejrod)
My cat is a natural born killer…she waits for the food to come to her. Birds be warned: that bird cage/ bird feeder will only lead to your eminent death!(Source: thejrod)
If I had to have a horcrux, I'm pretty sure my boots would be one of them…just saying. (Source: thejrod)
Tuesday mornin' (blueberry) muffins. I can't eat them because of my allergy, but my roommates enjoyed them, and now the house smells of blueberries. (Source: thejrod)

The thing seems to be that some sites, or large parts of them, have disappeared entirely, grey-barred, not indexed, not to be found. I only lost about 5 of my pages this update and my main page PR is bouncing up to 6 again, but I live in fear of being the next site to vanish entirely from Google. That 80%, (for me less really, got a lot of pertinent incoming links bringing traffic and Ink likes me...), is a scary thought.
BigDave, all due respect 'cause your posts are usually good and helpful, but... The thing is that it is a zero-sum game. Whenever a site goes down in the rankings another goes up.

IF YOU EVER considering melting, for some reason, then I think you should get a flight ticket over to New York right now. This night I was actually dreaming, that I woke up in Sweden and it was snowing (?). Anyway, have you heard that Avicii, the dj, is the new face for Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply. I think it feels very brave, cool and modern that they using him. I celebrate that with wearing a pair of shorts from the collection.
