The quality is good for the price. The seat cushion is a little firm but not uncomfortable and will soften with use. Shipping was fast. The chair arrived with no damage and was easy to put together. However, the color (STONE) is very different from how it appears on the website. I was expecting a slight different due to color balance, lighting etc., but not so different that I thought they shipped the wrong chair. The color is much warmer - more of a sandstone. It doesn't match my decor but I don't feel like returning it since it was only intended for a spare room. My husband likes it and doesn't care about the color. I'll be looking for a high quality or custom slipcover to remedy the problem.
The chair is definitely darker than the picture, but I like the actual color of it better. It's a lovely creamy beige, and it looks good with both warm and cool colors. The fabric also seems to be of very high quality. The chair was a piece of cake to assemble, and it's incredibly comfortable-- it has a little give, but it's still firm enough that it seems like it will hold up well over time. It's really made the whole room look more sophisticated, so I'm thrilled with my purchase!
All in all, this is a great chair...but you do get what you pay for - don't go expecting top of the line craftsmanship. That said, it doesn't look like a very cheap chair and it is actually quite supportive and comfortable (I have been chair shopping in so many furniture and department stores and even many expensive chairs are so soft that you sink right into them, or they have no back support, or are way too low for tall people - My husband and I are tall and like firm seating and good back support - this chair delivers all of those things). Some caveats are that the color is definitely off, as other reviewers have commented. To me, if you look at the photo for the same chair but in the "driftwood" color online, that is a better representation of what the color looks like in real life, at least with my monitor. It is a pretty, neutral color but just darker/warmer than the photo for the stone color indicates. Additionally, the price is incredibly cheap so it is only natural that some corners were cut in assembly - the front part of the chair where your back goes is not upholstered all the way, however, the back cushion does seem to cover it so it shouldn't be noticeable. I'm only mentioning it because i wasn't expecting that. Because that back support part is not upholstered all the way, they attach the back cushion to it using velcro so it stays put (if you have anyone fidgety in the chair, when they adjust themselves pushing back, you may hear the sound of the velcro moving). My chair arrived with a large tear about 5" long in the fabric and they simply stapled it together and packed up the chair - poor quality control. However, the tear is on an inner part of the chair and in the back so it is not really noticeable (after I cut off all the frayed fabric and loose strings anyway) so I kept it because it would have been too much of a hassle to pack up and return a chair for this unnoticeable defect. Also, the chair is super easy to assemble. Just screw on the legs (all the holes line up well), place the back piece into the existing metal tracks and slide down, and then place on the back cushion and pillow. Just takes a few minutes and can easily be done by one person. None of the pieces were heavy or complicated at all.
I was very pleased with this chair. It was my first purchase on Overstock and I was happy with the entire experience. The chair was darker than the picture, but I knew that from other reviews so I purposely ordered the lighter chair and wound up with the color I wanted. Not too big, not too small, perfect size. The material is almost like a very soft tweed, hard to explain, but it is textured which I really liked. I ordered two of them for my family room and they look great with my other pieces of furniture!
Good chairs ..after a year and half of owning them and really taking care...the back cushion seems to be getting out of shape.
I love this chair, like other reviewers have said, it is darker in person. It is a tan/beige color but it still fits in my bedroom nicely. It was quick and easy to put together, the UPS guy brought it up the three flights of stairs, poor guy. I was worried that since it was almost 100lbs they wouldn't be willing. The only thing I dislike about the chair is the pillow. It's tiny and seems pointless. The seat cushion is a bit firm but I believe it will soften with use. Any uneasiness I had about buying this chair is gone and you should just go for it! First furniture purchase without trying it out first and it was worth it.
It's a great simple, neutral chair. It is more of a sand color as others mention but I actually bought it because of that. There is also a small amount of gold / champagne threading in the material. I will say the small accent pillow is lame but you can easily add something more fun.
Great chair for the price. We were going to use this in our bedroom and the size was just perfect. Very comfortable, great color. Seems like the perfect reading chair. The only problem was it arrived with a very large stain on the seat cushion. The way the chair is constructed, you can't flip the cushion over. You can remove the cushion, but only one side is upholstered. We sent the chair back and received a refund with no trouble (thanks, Overstock!) However, in the meantime, we found a recliner that we liked a little better. I would get this chair again though b/c you just can't beat the price and it was very comfortable.
this was my 1st experience with overstock and may be my last. the chairs were in unacceptable condition. I dont understand how they can allow this type of quality to be sent out. In addition to the stains, there were side metal pieces that had to be bent into shape in order to complete assembly.
I bought two of these chairs to use as my every day chairs in my living room. They are neutral and match with basically everything. I sit in them every night and they have held up really well so far. Everyone assumes they are from Crate & Barrel or Pottery Barn, which is exactly what we were going for. So glad I took the risk and bought these chairs.

Yesterday the treadle lathe completely finished, all metalwork is in place.
At the same time a new trapper made, fits better with the rest of the lathe.
For the open ball bearing, I built a wooden shield, so no chance of getting dust in the bearing.
Thanks to the total weight of 35 kg for the flywheel is the woodturning fantastic.
Witness the beautiful curls and the smooth results of the turning.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
German Realism culminated in the late nineteenth century novels of Theodor Fontane (fawn-TAH-nuh). Born into a Huguenot family in Prussia, Fontane later portrayed that north German landscape unforgettably. Initially he chose the same profession as his father and trained as an apothecary, working in Berlin, Burg, Leipzig, and Dresden. When he was twenty-five he joined the apolitical Berlin literary society Der Tunnel Ober der Spree (tunnel over the spree), where he met weekly for many years with prominent writers and artists.
At the age of thirty, Fontane married and became a journalist, working in Germany and England for the Prussian press headquarters. At the same time he began to write ballads. Fontane was familiar with the English and Scottish ballad tradition, and he did not restrict himself to Prussian subject matter. One of his best-known ballads, "Archibald Douglas," is about the Scotsman.
When he was forty, Fontane returned to Germany, where he worked for a decade as editor of the English section of the Kreuz-Zeitung, then from 1870 to 1889 as the theater critic for the Vossische Zeitung. During this time, Fontane, writing in a genre popular in Germany, reached a wide audience when he published four entertaining and informed accounts of his travels through the Mark Brandenburg region as well as a fifth...

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Henri Theodor Fontane was born on December 30, 1819, in Neuruppin, Prussia (now in Germany). Both of his parents were of French descent, part of the French Huguenot colony that had existed in Prussia since the Edict of Potsdam of 1685. Fontane's father was a pharmacist. During the first year of his marriage, he acquired a well-established pharmacy in Neuruppin. He was not, however, a good businessman, and he lost considerable amounts of money at the gambling table. In 1827, the elder Fontane sold his pharmacy in Neuruppin and purchased another in Swinemünde.
The Fontane family then moved to Swinemünde, a port town that was much livelier than Neuruppin. For Fontane, Swinemünde was always imbued with a certain poetic quality, and he transmuted it into the setting of a few of his works. He attended the Gymnasium (academic high school) in Neuruppin for a few years, but eventually he switched to a vocational school in Berlin and, in 1836, was apprenticed to a pharmacy there. During those years, his father's fortunes went from bad to worse, and his parents eventually separated.
Fontane's father's financial failures meant that, from a very young age, Fontane had to rely almost exclusively on his own resources in order to make a living. While still an apprentice in the pharmacy in Berlin, he wrote poems and novellas, a few of which were published. In April, 1844, he began his one-year military service. During the summer of the same year, he was given leave in order to accompany a friend on a trip to England. He was fascinated by that country and particularly by the city of London. He resolved to find a way to live in England for several years.
In 1847, Fontane received his license as a first-class pharmacist, but he never practiced his profession in any consistent manner. He became active in a few literary societies in Berlin and received several assignments as a journalist. In 1850, he married Emilie Rouanet-Kummer, to...

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> The New Aztecs: Ritual and Restraint in Contemporary Western Military Operations
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Zhivan Alach.
The Western way of war has come full circle. After centuries of evolution toward increased totality and brutality, it has turned back once again to the ritualistic and restrained methods of primitive warfare. Largely, this has been due to an interaction between the perceived lack of utility in contemporary warfare, developing humanitarian public opinion, and increasing professionalism among militaries. The significance of these evolutionary trends in the way that the West engages in modern warfare is that they are potentially dangerous, and they include the possibility that the West will be unprepared for a future foe whose defeat requires more unrestrained methods.

Earlier today, we discussed the projection for the Miami Marlins' best player, right fielder Giancarlo Stanton. Even if we expect Stanton to miss some playing time, we are still expecting an elite performance from one of the best power hitters in the game. And because Stanton's offensive game is the exciting power hitter type, there is always something for which to watch out in every Marlins game.
But what about the end of the season? Will Stanton have enough of those exciting, #MONSTERDONG home runs in 2013 to match up with the best of the rest of the league? It is worth asking, but how could we find that out? Well, we can handicap some of those odds by taking a look at what the projection systems think. All of the systems have projections for playing time and counting stats, so we can take a look at a preliminary guess about the 2013 home run crown.
Where does Stanton stand in the eyes of ZiPS, the projection system we use most often here on Fish Stripes. Well, ZiPS thinks Stanton can put up very big numbers.
National League | HR | Major Leagues | HR |
Giancarlo Stanton | 41 | Giancarlo Stanton | 41 |
Ryan Braun | 33 | Miguel Cabrera | 35 |
Jay Bruce | 32 | Ryan Braun | 33 |
Anthony Rizzo | 31 | Curtis Granderson | 33 |
Matt Kemp | 30 | Jay Bruce | 32 |
The National League lead for Stanton is immense, as according to ZiPS, he stands to beat incumbent champion Ryan Braun by more than eight home runs. Last season, Braun had 677 plate appearances and hit eight more home runs than he is projected to hit here in similar playing time, so ZiPS sees regression to the mean in Braun's future. Meanwhile, ZiPS is actually projecting Stanton to almost maintain his insane 44 home runs per 600 plate appearances rate from last year, as they have him hitting 41 in just under 570 appearances.
The system is also expecting a drop-off by reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera, who is projected to hit just 35 homers after hitting 44 and leading all of baseball last year. This may be interesting to Marlins fans because Stanton is something of a Marlins spiritual successor to Cabrera, given that they share similar histories with Miami. By now, Cabrera has become perhaps the best hitter in baseball, complete with power and hitting prowess. But Stanton is not projected to be far behind Cabrera; in fact, despite Cabrera's extensive history as an elite hitter, ZiPS is actually projecting a better season from Stanton. Stanton is slated to hit .286/.369/.606 (.407 wOBA) compared to Cabrera's .313/.397/.561 (.399 wOBA).
Would you Marlins fans be so bold as to claim the same thing?
National League | HR | Major Leagues | HR |
Giancarlo Stanton | 42 | Giancarlo Stanton | 42 |
Ryan Braun | 33 | Albert Pujols | 36 |
Jay Bruce | 32 | Miguel Cabrera | 35 |
Anthony Rizzo | 31 | Jose Bautista | 33 |
Ike Davis | 30 | Ryan Braun | 33 |
The list coming from the Steamer projections looks very similar to that of ZiPS's. Once again, Stanton is the man atop the mountain, and on the National League side, he is once again defeating the likes of Braun, Jay Bruce, and, in an interesting twist, Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs. Both ZiPS and Steamer are fans of Rizzo, who is expected to hit a solid .276/.345/.511 (.365 wOBA) for the Cubbies in 2013.
Of course, among National Leaguers, only Joey Votto is expected to be better than Stanton under Steamer's projections, as Stanton's .274/.357/.573 (.390 wOBA) line tops all projected National Leaguers in hitting except Votto's .292/.419/.522 (.400 wOBA) line. But at least in this system, Stanton is expected to yield to the powers of the American League, as three other American Leaguers, including Cabrera, are thought to be better hitters this season. This feels like a much better bet.
National League | HR | Major Leagues | HR |
Giancarlo Stanton | 40 | Giancarlo Stanton | 40 |
Ryan Braun | 28 | Miguel Cabrera | 35 |
Jay Bruce | 28 | Albert Pujols | 32 |
Anthony Rizzo | 28 | Prince Fielder | 30 |
Matt Kemp | 28 | Jose Bautista | 29 |
Oliver had a more tempered projection for almost every player in the home run department. The next National Leaguers behind Stanton each were expected to have 28 home runs, including minor leaguer Ernesto Meijia, a first base prospect with apparently a lot of power and nothing else to his name. We find the usual suspects at the top of the list, including guys like Cabrera, Pujols, and Braun. Prince Fielder is the first to show up at the top of the list, but he is around the periphery in the other two systems. Every player's home run marks are lowered slightly from the other systems.
Well, everyone's except for Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton is still expected to send out 40 home runs under this system, and that is an environment where the rest of players are expected to do two to four home runs worse. Once agian, when it comes to a war of long bombs, you pick Stanton.
How Projections Work
Keep in mind that projections are best served as an indicator not of how well an individual player will play so much as how well the expected group of best players will play. Projection systems often miss who will lead the league in homers, but you can bet that they have a good idea of how many homers the top ten players will hit collectively.
And these systems each have that sort of shared similarity. Oliver projected 166 home runs hit among the top five players in the league, while Steamer projected 179. ZiPS was somewhere in between at 174 homers, but each system was within easy reach of the other. While the order of the names may not end up being right, the systems have a decent chance of getting most players within a few homers of their projections and guessing the total numbers correctly.
But the one consistent thing throughout the lists we have seen is that Stanton remains at the top. Giancarlo Stanton is currently projected as the best power hitter in baseball, at least in terms of home runs. If you looked at the ISO category, I am certain Stanton's name would be atop the list as well. And all of that power is also making him one of the ten best hitters in baseball as well. If you were going to pick one player to lead this race by the end of the year, the projection systems say that the easy winner is Giancarlo Cruz-Michael Stanton.

I took the girls to a national chain market that specializes in not-so-processed foods for lunch today. You most likely know which market I am talking about… they have an amazing hot and cold bar! Anyway, as the girls were picking out their goodies, I noticed what we had all chosen:
Dolmas (rice wrapped in grape leaves)
Vegetable Samosas
I started thinking about my own dietary habits since moving here to California… very little meat, dairy and wheat. Hmmm… it looks like I've inadvertently become a gluten-free vegan, right?
Not so much.
While it is true that my fruit and veg intake has increased a ton and my animal product consumption has decreased a ton, I am not going to make some declaration of veganism. Why?
Because I am afraid of commitment and I am afraid to fail.
Think about it. Once I make a declaration of being a gluten-free vegan, that means I have to stick to it. And we all know what happens when you have new rules and regulations to stick to. (If you are not sure, ask any faithful Catholic on days of abstinence.) When you "know" you can't have something, the more you want it. I could (and have) gone weeks and weeks, not wanting honey or meat or eggs, and I haven't even realized it. But the minute I say to those around me, "I am now gluten-free and vegan" you know I am going to want a big, fat, cheeseburger (animal-style) from In-and-Out Burger! With a strawberry shake on the side. And, heaven forbid if I "fail" and have a piece of chicken, there is the issue of being caught and questioned! Maybe I just prefer to live my gluten-free vegan tendencies in private, knowing that if I decide that lamb kabobs for Easter is a good idea, I only have to answer to myself and not feel guilty about it! (That, and my intestinal tract revolting against me!)
Guilt is a funny thing. After all, it's thought that guilt is just a human reaction to doing something that you know is wrong. But there is nothing wrong with consuming and wearing animal products, is there (ok, other than the inhumane treatment of animals?) So, the guilt is not so much feeling badly because I somehow failed, but rather being caught at failing. (Please keep in mind that I struggle immensely with issues with pride.)
So, am I a gluten-free vegan. Nope. But I will say that I'm a big, fat, chicken. No pun intended.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out which steroidal saponins scientists have managed to isolate clearly from plants.
For example, Protodioscin from Tribulus was diagnosed to have some test-boosting properties.
Are there any other plants that have been standardized to a particular saponins known for its test-boosting action?
Tommy beat me to it
The chlorophytum saponins are very underrated

Here is a few study links on Chlorophytum Borivilianum worth looking at.
I need to use an example because I think I'm interpreting this wrong. According to Titanium's label, they extract saponins from two different sources. Does this mean the saponins in fenugreek are different from the saponins in Chlorophytum?
Trigonelia foenum-graecum (Fenugreek Seed) Extract (50% Saponins)

Pros and Cons of DipsticksThe main advantage of the urine dipstick test is that it is a convenient and rapid test. The results are usually determined within a few minutes after collecting the sample. Therefore, it is very useful in settings such emergency departments, urgent care facilities, or the doctor's office. It is also very cost effective and does not require special training to perform the test. However, the dipstick may not be very accurate as the color changes are very time sensitive. For example, if the dipstick is not promptly analyzed as it is taken out of the urine sample, then the color changes may be inaccurate after more than a few minutes of exposure to urine. The information that urine dipstick provides may also be limited, as it is generally a qualitative test and not a quantitative one. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Urinalysis

ZIA Ultimates Eye Creme -- 0.5 fl oz
Great eye cream
I have been using this eye cream for 15 plus years and I abosolutely love it. Excellent product
April 20, 2013
Moisturizing so reduces lines
I don't normally use many lotions, cremes, makeup; but last year when I had to wear eye shadow to an event, I was suprised to see that the shadow made my aging eye lids stand out rather than accentuating my eyes. Zia has always been good to my very sensitive skin, so I decided to try this eye creme. It has a very light scent (orange), never irritates. I use daily (usually morn) and it hydrates both my eye lids and under my eyes, so my eye lids aren't papery and I look more youthful and not tired. I don't have problems with under eye circles or deep creases, but can recommend to someone who needs an overall, gentle, hydrating eye creme to reduce the effects of aging.
January 20, 2013
I've been using this product for many years and love the results !
November 4, 2011
Zia Ultimates works every time!
I have used the eye cream for a year, and love it!!!
It always feels very moisterizing, absorbs quickly without a greasy feeling and plumps my eye skin nicely.
February 15, 2010
this product is scented, which I did not expect from this site. I felt a slight burning sensation for about 2 minutes after applying.

We asked Gene Bruno, MHS, Jarrow Formulas consultant and Dean of Academics at Huntington College of Health Sciences, for the lowdown on this powerful fruit. Q: What types of pomegranate supplements are available, and which are the most effective? A: Pomegranate supplements are available in freeze-dried encapsulated powder and dehydrated encapsulated powder. But concentrated juice from the arils of pomegranate, one of nature's richest sources of polyphenolic antioxidants, is the most potent way to use pomegranate. It has a high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value of 1,245. Q: Are many people allergic to pomegranate? A: It is possible for pomegranate fruit or seeds to cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. However, pomegranate allergy is not commonplace, and those who have experienced a reaction have tended to be allergic to other plants as well. Q: At what age can children begin to eat pomegranate? A: The seeds of pomegranates could become lodged in the throats of very young children, and so should probably be avoided until the child is 4 or 5. However, pomegranate juice can be consumed by any child who can drink fruit juice. Q: Are there any medications that react badly with pomegranate? A: There are no documented Did You Know? It's best to select a pomegranate by its weight, not by its color. Pomegranates can vary from pink to ruby red. |
With its jewel-like seeds and little crown top, the pomegranate's royal appearance has undoubtedly contributed to its majestic history. For thousands of years the fruit has been symbolically associated with religion, health, life, fertility, and royalty. Many scholars believe the pomegranate was the forbidden fruit of Eden or possibly the fruit of the tree of everlasting life. Its calyx (the crown-shaped top of the fruit) is the pattern for the traditional crowns of royalty, such as those worn by Catherine of Aragon and Emperor Maximilian, who also used the pomegranate in their regalia and crests. But it is the amazing health benefits of this ruby-red globe that have undoubtedly given pomegranates their much-revered place in history.
Traditional practitioners of Ayurveda use every part of the pomegranate plant for medicinal purposes, and it appears that they are right about the fruit's clinical benefits. Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of green tea and red wine, and current research shows that pomegranates are the only fruit rich in all three major antioxidants: tannins, anthocyanins, and ellagic acid. In addition, one pomegranate provides about 40 percent of an adult's recommended daily intake of vitamin C and is a good source of vitamins A and E, folic acid, and potassium.
Pomegranates also contain estrone, a natural form of estrogen. This can be a powerful alternative to artificial hormone replacement therapy for women during menopause to eliminate hot flashes and mood swings. Current Israeli studies show that pomegranate juice may prevent cancers from forming and can actually destroy breast cancer cells without damaging any healthy surrounding tissue. For men, the pomegranate contains a compound that lowers levels of prostrate specific antigen, which may help fight prostrate cancer when used in tandem with traditional therapies. The pomegranate also has great value and diversity when it comes to cooking. The juice of the arils (seed cases) can be used as a sweetener, a flavoring, an acidic agent, or as a base for many recipes and drinks. Pomegranate was (and still is) widely used in the Middle East, the Mediterranean region, India, and Asia in many traditional recipes before tomatoes became widely available.
Pomegranates can be stored for several days at room temperature or for up to two weeks when refrigerated. The arils can be placed in an airtight container and frozen for up to seven months, and used for flavor and color in a variety of dishes, such as our festive Orange Salad with Pomegranates.
Orange Salad with Pomegranates
Serves 6
The inspiration for this salad is North Africa, where pomegranates are used in a variety of creative ways. The salad's secret is its startling interplay of flavors: the tartness of the fruit, the onion—the infusion of the onion is an important step, so do not skip it—and most importantly, the saltiness of the olives. The lemon removes the sharpness of the raw onion and colors it pink, an important visual note in the salad's appearance.
From our sister publication Vegetarian Times
1 cup red onion slices, sliced paper-thin and broken into strips
½ cup lemon juice
6 large Valencia oranges (4 lb.)
5 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. pomegranate vinegar
1 medium-size cucumber, pared and diced (1 cup)
1 cup pomegranate arils
1 cup (4 oz.) black oil-cured olives, preferably Moroccan
1 Tbs. finely chopped mint
Product Examples
Jarrow Formulas offers the following four pomegranate juice products:
PomeGreat Pomegranate Juice Concentrate. Offers offers exceptionally high levels of phytonutrients with a guaranteed high ORAC value.
PomeGreat Pomegranate + Blackcurrant also contains New Zealand black currant, one of the most antioxidant-rich berries known.
PomeGreat Pomegranate + Blood Orange (not shown) also contains the deep reddish fruit of the Italian blood orange (Citrus sinensis), an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), and flavonoids.
PomeGreat Pomegranate Grape & Blueberry (not shown). Grape is an additional rich source of polyphenols; blueberry is another antioxidant-rich, antiaging fruit.

The Vikings, Columbus, the Pilgrims … they all arrived here by ship. So it stands to reason that some of the phrases we use today were born on the high seas. While sources differ on the roots of many sayings, others have a clear path to the days of sailing across the ocean. Here's a look at 9 family-friendly phrases that likely came from the mouths of sailors.
The "Age of Sail" in the 18th and early 19th centuries was a glorious time in naval history marked by many epic battles on the high seas, but it was also a time of widespread disease. In order to receive permission to dock at a foreign port, ships were often required to show a bill of health—a document that stated the medical condition of their previous port of call, as well as that of everyone aboard. A "clean bill of health" certified that the crew and their previous port were free from the plague, cholera and other epidemics. Today, a person with a "clean bill of health" has passed a doctor's physical or other medical examination.
During the Age of Sail, "The Doldrums" were stretches of ocean north and south of the equator that were infamous for their light winds. If a vessel was caught there, it could languish for days or even weeks waiting for the wind to pick up, which made for a very bored crew. Eventually, The Doldrums became so well known that the name was applied to any area with light winds. Today, someone who is "in the doldrums" is either listless or depressed.
Many people are surprised to learn that this expression for drunkenness was born on the high seas. "Sheet" is the nautical term for the rope that controls the tension on a square sail. If the sheets are loose on a three-masted ship, then the sails will flap uselessly in the wind, and the ship will drift out of control until the situation is corrected. Thus, the modern phrase "three sheets to the wind" has come to signify a person who is intoxicated to the point of being out of control.
The roots of the term "filibuster" can be traced to the pirates who prowled the shipping trade routes in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The Dutch word for pirate was vrijbuiter—a word that eventually led to the French term flibustier and the Spanish term filibustero. The British, however, pronounced it filibuster.
So how did the word for pirate became associated with obstructionist political tactics? It's still a bit of a mystery, but some historians speculate that, since pirates were an incessant, obstructing nuisance, they effectively blocked trade in many areas, just as politicians try to block legislation today.
Before refrigeration, salted beef and pork were staple foods aboard sailing vessels because they could be stored for long periods without spoiling. However, they were also tough and extremely difficult to eat. It often took a great deal of chewing just to soften up the meat and make it edible, which took a lot of time. So, in the spirit of multi-tasking, men would gather to discuss the day's events while they chewed their fatty, salt-cured meat. According to this theory, whenever people get together to gossip or chat, we say that they are "chewing the fat."
Most people think this term originated in the smoke-filled boardrooms of corporate America. Surprisingly, however, it can be traced back to some clever ship cooks who saved the slushy mix of fat and grease that was left over after every meal. The slush would be stowed away in a secret hiding place until the ship returned to port. The cooks would then sell the fat to candle makers and other merchants, earning themselves a tidy sum in the process. Thus, the term "slush fund" refers to an illicit cash reserve.
A sailing vessel was considered seaworthy if it could sail both "by" (into the wind) and "large" (with the wind). This term has come to mean "generally speaking" in modern parlance.
Along with salted beef and water, the British Royal Navy issued sailors a daily ration of rum to keep them happy during long months at sea. And, not surprisingly, the men would often save up several days' worth of their rations before consuming it in one long binge, which frequently resulted in insubordination. In 1740, hoping to reduce the number of alcohol-fueled discipline problems, British Admiral Edward Vernon ordered all vessels to dilute their daily rum ration with water. Vernon was known as "Old Grog" because he always wore a coat made out of grogram, a coarse material that was stiffened with gum. Consequently, the diluted rum drink that he created became known as grog, and sailors who drank too much of it were said to feel "groggy." Today, people who are overly tired, lightheaded or generally inebriated are still referred to as groggy.
Keeping watch onboard sailing ships was a boring and tedious job, but the worst watch station was on the "weather" (windward) side of the bow. The sailor who was assigned to this station was subject to the constant pitching and rolling of the ship. By the end of his watch, he would be soaked from the waves crashing over the bow. A sailor who was assigned to this unpleasant duty was said to be "under the weather." Sometimes, these men fell ill and died as a result of the assignment, which is why today "under the weather" is used to refer to someone suffering from an illness. A related theory claims that ill sailors were sent below deck (or "under the weather") if they were feeling sick.

Paul Riley was raised in Groves and attended and graduated from Port Neches Groves High School as World War II was beginning. Like so many others of "The Greatest Generation", he enlisted in the military to serve his country in wartime.
Riley enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and was assigned to the Marine's air force. Shortly after the battle for Guadalcanal in 1942, Riley's air wing, VMF 115, landed on the Island and took over the operation of Henderson Field. The airfield had been the main objective of the Marine's invasion and the bloody fighting for control of Guadalcanal.
VMF 115 was assigned the duty of doing ground support and escorting bombers as the war progressed.
"We didn't stay on Guadalcanal too long, as we got control of more islands and pushed the Japanese back, our squadron eventually went to Emirau. We spent most of our time there. I was an armorer; I loaded the machine guns and hooked up bombs. The planes we worked with were the Corsairs, "said Riley.
The F4U Corsair was built by the Chance Vought Aircraft Corporation. The planes had the largest engine of any U S fighter plane, a "gull wing" configuration, and a distance of 16 feet from the front of the cockpit to the front of the plane. Being a "tail dragger", the pilot sat much lower than the front of the plane and could not see what was straight in front of him when trying to land. As a result they had to "zig-zag" down the runway after they touched down. They had to look over the side of the cockpit in order to steer the plane down the runway as they taxied in. The Corsair was powerful and fast, only 13 miles per hour slower that the P-47 Thurderbolt, America's fastest fighter. Corsairs were used until 1979. Honduras was the last air force to fly them in active duty.
"The Corsair only carried one bomb. It was a 500 pound bomb, and a lot of the time they were napalm bombs. We mixed the napalm by hand. It was 100 octane aviation gasoline mixed with a powdered soap, like Oxydol. The soap had some aluminum powder mixed in it. When the soap powder and the gasoline mixed, it turned into a gel. When it exploded, it stuck to whatever it burned and burned a lot slower and hotter than just plain gasoline. One of those bombs would cover about a football field when it exploded. It was nasty stuff, but we were in a war," said Riley.
In 1944, VMF 115 gained a new commander, Joe Foss. Foss had been stateside doing War Bond tours. Foss began flying for the Marines during the battle for Guadalcanal; he had been credited with 26 kills. He was the leading air ace in the Pacific Theater. Foss was awarded the Medal of Honor. His record of 26 kills equaled that of America's top WWI aviator, Eddie Rickenbacker. Ironically, Rickenbacker had been the childhood hero of Foss. Foss had met Rickenbacker when he was 12 years of age and wanted to be a flyer from that time.
The South Dakota farm boy achieved that goal and more. In his later years he became governor of South Dakota and also the first commissioner of the American Football League.
Foss was an aggressive pilot and a great commander of the squadron. "He constantly looked for ways to encourage his men and ways to motivate us. We all wanted to do our jobs the best we could to repay his efforts for us," said Riley.
The squadron became known as "Joe's Jokers" and designed a distinctive shoulder patch showing a card hand with two Jokers. It is one of the most collectable Marine unit patches of WWII.
VMF 115 spent days and nights escorting bombers and was instrumental in the effort to cut off Truk Lagoon. Truk was a major anchorage for the Japanese fleet in that area of the Pacific. A large Japanese merchant fleet was attacked by US Navy planes from aircraft carriers and over 100 ships were sunk.
"After we left Emirau, we went to the Philippines. We were part of the Leyte invasion. Our planes were there to support the ground forces of the invasion. After the battle was over at Leyte, we went to Mindanao. We established a base there, but the runways were the metal mats. It was OK, but not great. One night one of the big Japanese "Betty" bombers flew in and landed on our runway. It was shot up and burning, but still managed to land. There was a suicide squad on board. They got out and started shooting. We had them so outnumbered that they did not last too long. I had been where there would be a Jap plane make a nuisance run on us at night and drop a bomb or two or shoot a little, but this was the only time I got close to that sort of shooting combat," said Riley. "We left Mindanao and started back to the States on a troopship. I slept on deck most of the time. Down below it was too hot and there was too much odor. I got back to the States on June 30, 1945. That was my birthday. I am the only one from my squadron still alive. There are a lot of good men that were my friends in those days that are no longer with us."
Riley married and lives in Orange. His wife died several years ago and he lives with his son, Raylin. He has two other children, a daughter Kim, and another son, Konrad. Another daughter, Linda, died two years ago.
He retired from DuPont's Sabine River Works after 38 years of service, working in the Energy Control Department.
Riley suffers from Meniere's Disease, a disorder that affects the inner ear. There is a possibility that the years of being around the powerful aircraft engines with the loud noise, vibration, and exhaust emissions led to his health problems. He is currently consulting with Bruce Lockett of the Veterans Advocates of America in filing a claim with the Veteran's Administration.
Some 270,000 World War II vets died in 2011, an average of 740 a day, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Another 248,000 are projected to die this year. We owe a great deal to Riley and his generation. It is unlikely we will ever see a generation of Americans like the men and women who defended America in World War II. They left home as boys and girls and came home as men and women. Tom Brokaw dubbed them "The Greatest Generation"; there is no doubt they were.

I personally feel that it won't mater how many abandoned houses we move, markteting of new neighborhoods to new families, more amenities, lower taxes, or how many subsidized housing projects we have going on. It all has to do with economic development. Shopping centers won't come if people with jobs aren't spending their money. Developers won't develop new neighborhoods if people with jobs aren't willing to buy them. Lower taxes will not lull people into spending their money if they don't have jobs.
My father-in-law loves to repeat the old saying "I'm glad I have to pay taxes this year, consider the alternative." He is right. We need jobs. Not retail jobs which translate into low paying jobs. We need manufacturing and high-tech jobs that pay a living wage and can support a family without welfare. Retail jobs will follow naturally where the people are spending. We should be actively and aggressively pursuing high wage jobs. Your poll leaves that out and therefore, in my opinion, is skewed.

Wondering if anyone has tested slingplayer on appletv and how the videoplayback is. I posted earlier that flash is a bit choppy but i guess that should've been expected.
Wondering if anyone has tested slingplayer on appletv and how the videoplayback is. I posted earlier that flash is a bit choppy but i guess that should've been expected.
I know this post is a bit old, but I've just gotten an AppleTV to hook up to my slingbox for watching videos while I'm away from home. Thought I'd give this a test to see if the SlingPlayer app runs on the AppleTV and it indeed does. Just followed the guide from http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/How_t...yer_on_AppleTV and everything worked perfectly. My ATV was already modded with Nito, XBMC, and all the essentials. I can confirm this works with the most recent version of the ATV OS (3.0.2) and the most recent SlingPlayer for OSX 220.127.116.112.
I've been using it for a little bit today and do notice a few problems. I'm using my iPhone with the Remote HD app to control the ATV. You can use the keyboard to type in your slingboxes password. You can use command + F to get into full screen mode. You can chain the ratio with the command + 1,2,3,4,5. You can move the mouse around to select keep password in keychain. The issues seem to stem from the mouse. If you try to click anywhere else with the mouse the app will crash. All in all the app works quite well.

great post and thanks for the help. I got everything installed and running well, except for one important issue. I cannot figure out how to get/use the keyboard in Remote. I have it installed and connected, but cannot access it while in the Slingbox.app. I need to enter my Slingbox info in order to proceed.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to do it?

Best Indie: Fight the Fear
The term "indie" shifts in meaning all the time, as mainstream culture continually adapts ideas from the underground. Even still, at first listen, Fight the Fear might seem like a band with serious pop aspirations, rather than a band of the underground: They have a dynamic lead singer, upbeat tunes and the chops of serious professionals, and they go by their first names. But as drummer Jake puts it, to hit the pop charts these days, "with the style of music to [suit] a singer like we have, we'd have to omit guitars. I think why I prefer the indie category is, we are guitar-driven." Fight the Fear took shape about three years ago under the name Lakshmi (singer Gabrielle's middle name), and Jake concurs he and his bandmates set their sights high on their first album. "The sound of that record was, 'We're gonna be the next Paramore,'" he says. And since then, they've opened for Bon Jovi, placed a song in an ESPN montage and appeared in a yet-to-be-released independent movie. "It brought in a brand new audience that missed the rock in rock," he says of that album. But in their practice space, they've also edged toward less overtly poppy sounds. Jake points out they like prog rock and conspiracy theories. They took on a new name last fall, and now, he says, "we're at the beginning of being us." With their prog roots showing, Gabrielle working in dubstep and house influences, and their love of melody still in play, Jake calls the results "ambiance with a backbeat."

The United States sprays 80 million pounds of Atrazine on our crops yearly. It has been proven that it is so harmful to fish, anphibians and humans alike, that the European Union banned the harmful pesticide in 2004.
Earth is facing its largest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs, with up to half of the world's 6,000 amphibian species in danger of extinction and pesticides are a primary contributing factor, as they inevitably end up in the water bodies where amphibians live and breed.
We ask the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use Altrazine in the United States.

Alternatives to Bureaucratic Hierarchy
But those companies didn't get there by happenstance. They got there by design. People chose, designed, evolved practices and structures to support a specific culture. They didn't take off-the-shelf models of functional or product based organizational structures. They didn't slide into typical for people management practices, organizational structures, job levels or reporting relationships.
Most companies settle for practices shaped by management thinking of the first half of the last century–without a second thought. The language of this thinking is mechanistic and dehumanizing. It's the language of efficiency, compliance, hierarchy, rules.
If you want a different sort of company, start with using a different language.
For example, rather than talk about "managing performance," talk about giving people the information they need to continually improve or sitting down on a periodic basis to examine how we can work better together. Does that feel different to you? It does to me. Those words offer a different set of possibilities.
Because we are talking about people and complex human systems, not moving parts in some vast machine.

She's as known for her super-slim frame as she is for her pouting, designer frocks and famous hubby so we raised a collective eyebrow here at Huff Post Celeb when Victoria Beckham declared she 'stood for the general public' when it came to size.
As a slender size 6, Posh is below the average size 14 of British women, but she still reckons she represents.
In an exclusive interview with Harper's Bazaar, the former Spice Girl-turned designer revealed how she prefers to try out her new designs herself.
She also revealed her complete shock at winning the Designer Brand Of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.
"When they read my name, I was genuinely not expecting it. It was an out-of-body experience", she said.
