"We Should Be Protecting Children": Rep. Gutiérrez Supports Funds for Humanitarian Crisis at Border
President Obama has called for close to $3.7 billion to address the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the United States-Mexico border where more than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained since October. Part of the money will be used to speed up deportations as Republicans say they will only support the plan if it puts more emphasis on immediate repatriation. They want to change a 2008 immigration law — which originally passed with bipartisan support — that would let the United States deport children from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as fast as it does those from Mexico. "I think it is shameful that in the Congress of the U.S. we see members of Congress engendering and creating fear of children," says Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois, who supports Obama's emergency supplemental bill. "We should be protecting children, not creating fear of them."

Spied on for Being Muslim? NSA Targets Named in Snowden Leaks Respond to U.S. Gov't Surveillance
A new report by The Intercept has identified five prominent Muslim Americans who were spied on by the National Security Agency. It cites an NSA spreadsheet leaked by Edward Snowden that shows nearly 7,500 email addresses monitored between 2002 and 2008, including addresses that appear to belong to foreigners the government suspects of ties to al-Qaeda, along with Americans accused of terrorist activity. But it also lists the email addresses of a former Republican operative and one-time political candidate, a professor at Rutgers University, and the head of the largest Muslim civil rights group in the country. We speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Glenn Greenwald, who broke the story for The Intercept based on documents leaked by Snowden. "The only thing they really had in common is that they are all politically active American Muslims," Greenwald says. "And that seems to be enough in the intelligence community to render these people suspicious." We are also joined by two people Greenwald names in the article: Asim Ghafoor, a prominent civil rights attorney who has represented clients in terrorism-related cases; and Faisal Gill, an attorney and former senior policy director with the Department of Homeland Security. When asked what needs to be done in response to the revelations, Gill argues Congress should step in and exercise its authority over how the FISA courts approve surveillance. "In our cases, I don't think there is probable cause ... so the entire system needs to be examined," Gill says. "What happens is you paint somebody with a broad brush, and they're tainted for life. … Nobody wants a lawyer that the government suspects of being involved in these type of activities."
"Indonesia is on a Different Path": U.S.-Trained General Defeated After Alleged Plot to Rig Vote
An initial count in Indonesia's hotly contested presidential election shows Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo has a several-point lead over former army general Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo has refused to concede defeat, and official results won't be known until after July 20. The American journalist Allan Nairn recently reported Indonesian forces tied to Prabowo have waged a campaign to rig the election in his favor, including "ballot tampering, street violence and threats" against rivals. Prabowo, who received military training by the United States, has been accused of mass killings when he headed the Indonesian special forces in the 1990s. Nairn's reporting on Prabowo became a major issue in the campaign, and Prabowo has filed criminal charges against him for inciting hatred against the Indonesian military. Joining us from Indonesia, Nairn argues that despite supporters that include "killer generals," Widodo will be more responsive to calls to reform the country's corrupt political system if popular movements pressure him to do so. "It is very unlikely [Widodo] would respond by opening fire as the Indonesian army has in the past, and as Prabowo undoubtedly would," Nairn says. "He would probably respond by sitting down with people and saying, 'Let's work something out.'"

Julian Assange on Aiding Snowden, Tiff w/ The Intercept & Whether He'll Ever Leave Embassy Refuge
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sits down with Democracy Now! inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he has been living in political asylum for over two years. Assange explains his critique of First Look Media and The Intercept for agreeing not to name a country targeted by bulk National Security Agency spying, following U.S. government concerns that doing so could lead to increased violence. Assange and WikiLeaks went on to reveal the targeted country, Afghanistan, which along with the Bahamas had all of its cellphone calls recorded. "That is as great an assault to sovereignty as you can imagine, other than completely militarily occupying a country, to record the intimate phone calls of every single Afghan citizen," Assange says. "My perspective is, [this is] up to the Afghan people." Assange also gives an overview of the close to eight million documents WikiLeaks has released since 2007 about nearly every country in the world; details how WikiLeaks helped Edward Snowden evade U.S. arrest and find political asylum in Russia; and addresses his prospects for ever being able to leave the Ecuadorean Embassy without fear of arrest.

WikiLeaks' Julian Assange Responds to Hillary Clinton: Fair U.S. Trial for Snowden "Not Possible"
In part two of our exclusive interview, Amy Goodman goes inside Ecuador's Embassy in London to speak with Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. Assange has been living in the embassy for more than two years under political asylum. He faces investigations in both Sweden and the United States, where a secret grand jury is investigating WikiLeaks for its role in publishing a trove of leaked documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as State Department cables. Assange responds to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent comments that National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden should return home to face trial. "It's the advice of all our lawyers that he should not return to the United States. He'd be extremely foolish to do so," Assange says. "It's not possible to have a fair trial, because the U.S. government has a precedent of applying state secret privilege to prevent the defense from using material that is classified in their favor."

The Kochs' Anti-Civil Rights Roots: New Docs Expose Charles Koch's Ties to John Birch Society
The Progressive magazine and Center for Media and Democracy have released new documents that show billionaire oil industrialist Charles Koch was an active member of the controversial right-wing John Birch Society during its campaigns against the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Charles Koch was following in the footsteps of his father, Fred Koch, a leader of the John Birch Society from its founding. We speak with The Progressive's Lisa Graves about her new article, "The Koch Cartel: Their Reach, Their Reactionary Agenda, and Their Record." Graves details how the reactionary ideas absorbed during Charles Koch's youth continue to animate many of his actions decades later. Charles and his brother, David Koch, have used their wealth to push a similar agenda into the mainstream through the tea party and "dark money" political coalitions that allow donors to shield their identity while funding attack ads against Democrats.
"Absolutely Unjustifiable": Aunt of US Teen Decries Brutal Beating by Israeli Forces Caught on Video
Over the weekend, video emerged of the beating of Tariq Abu Khdeir, the 15-year-old Palestinian-American cousin of murdered Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir. Footage shows him being severely beaten by Israeli officers after being detained during protests over his cousin's murder. Tariq says he was watching demonstrations in East Jerusalem when he was seized. The video shows him lying on the ground as the officers repeatedly beat him with batons. Tariq has been placed under house arrest pending an investigation into potential charges of assaulting a police officer. He lives in Tampa, Florida, but is in East Jerusalem for the summer visiting his family. He was with his cousin Mohammed just moments before he was kidnapped and murdered last week. In a statement, the State Department said it was "profoundly troubled" by the assault, calling for a "speedy, transparent and credible investigation and full accountability for the apparent excessive use of force." We are joined from Tampa by Tariq's aunt, Suhad Abukhdeir. "This is absolutely unjustifiable," she says of Tariq's beating. "You have three uniformed men, in full combat gear, against a 15-year-old."
"Incitement Starts at the Top": After Arab Teen's Murder, Israeli Gov't Accused of Fueling Hatred
The threat of an Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip comes amidst heavy unrest in the West Bank and in Arab towns inside Israel following the killings of a Palestinian teenager and three teenage Israelis. The Israeli teens were abducted while hitchhiking near the West Bank settlement where they lived. Their bodies were found last week, after more than two weeks of Israeli raids throughout the West Bank that saw more than 200 Palestinians arrested and more than a dozen killed. In an apparent act of revenge right after the Israeli teens' bodies were found, a Palestinian teenager named Mohammed Abu Khdeir was abducted near his home in East Jerusalem. His dead body was found shortly after, showing signs he was burned live. On Monday, Israel said it had arrested six suspects and that three have already confessed. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top Israeli leaders have condemned the killing, Khdeir's death followed calls for vengeance from Israeli political leaders as well as in marches and on social media. We are joined by two guests: Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada and author of the new book, "The Battle for Justice in Palestine," and Miko Peled, a peace activist and author of "The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine." The book's title refers to a unique family history: Miko's father, "Matti" Peled, served as a general in the 1967 war and later became a peace activist, calling for Israel to withdraw from the territory he helped to capture.
Report from Gaza: Israel Launches New Offensive on Besieged Palestinian Territory in Crisis
Violence in Israel and the Occupied Territories is escalating as Israel bombs the Gaza Strip and threatens a new full-scale assault. On Monday, the Israeli military announced "Operation Protective Edge," which it says aims to stop Palestinian rocket fire into southern Israel. At least nine Palestinians were wounded in Israeli strikes on more than 50 targets in Gaza overnight. Six Hamas members were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday, the deadliest by Israel since an eight-day assault in late 2012. Palestinian militants have fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel since the weekend, causing no casualties. To prepare for a potential attack, Israel has called up more than 1,500 troops to fortify a contingent already massed along the Gaza border. Hamas says the latest bombings "exceed all red lines" and has vowed to respond with broader rocket fire. If Israel invades Gaza, it would be the third major assault on the coastal territory in six years. The first invasion in 2008 left more than 1,400 Palestinians dead, most of them civilians. We go to Gaza to speak with Mohammed Omer, an award-winning Palestinian journalist who has been covering the Israeli offensive.

Exclusive: DN! Goes Inside Assange's Embassy Refuge to Talk WikiLeaks, Snowden and Winning Freedom
In a Democracy Now! special, we go inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London to interview Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. He has been holed up there for more than two years, having received political asylum. He faces investigations in both Sweden and the United States. In the U.S., a secret grand jury is investigating WikiLeaks for its role in publishing a trove of leaked documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as classified State Department cables. In Sweden, Assange is wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual misconduct, though no charges have been filed. Late last week, there was the first break in the latter case in two years, when a Swedish court announced it would hold a hearing on July 16 about a request by his lawyers for prosecutors to hand over new evidence and withdraw the arrest warrant. In the first of a two-part interview, Assange discusses his new legal bid in Sweden, the ongoing grand jury probe in the United States, and WikiLeaks' efforts to assist National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

"What to the Slave is 4th of July?": James Earl Jones Reads Frederick Douglass' Historic Speech
In this Fourth of July holiday special, we begin with the words of Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery around 1818, Douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement. On July 5, 1852, in Rochester, New York, he gave one of his most famous speeches, "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro." He was addressing the Rochester Ladies Antislavery Society. This is actor James Earl Jones reading the speech during a performance of historian Howard Zinn's acclaimed book, "Voices of a People's History of the United States." He was introduced by Zinn.
July 4 Special: "We Shall Overcome": Remembering Folk Icon, Activist Pete Seeger
Earlier this year, the legendary folk singer and activist Pete Seeger died at the age of 94. For nearly seven decades, Seeger was a musical and political icon who helped create the modern American folk music movement. In the 1940s, he performed in The Almanac Singers with Woody Guthrie, and then formed The Weavers. In the 1950s, he opposed Senator Joseph McCarthy's political witch hunt and was almost jailed for refusing to answer questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Seeger became a prominent civil rights activist and helped popularize the anthem, "We Shall Overcome." He was also a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and inspired a generation of protest singers. Later in his life, Seeger was at the center of the environmental and anti-nuclear movements. In 2009, Seeger and Bruce Springsteen performed Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural concert for Barack Obama, when he first became president. We re-air highlights from our 2013 and 2004 interviews with Seeger.
Dennis Kucinich on the Iraq Crisis & What the U.S. Can Learn from Sweden's Political Diversity
Former U.S. congressmember and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich speaks to Democracy Now! while in Sweden to observe the political festival Almedalen Week, which brings together people from all points on the political spectrum. Kucinich says the United States needs a similarly inclusive political process. "You come here and you see so many different political persuasions represented, and our politics back at home are monochromatic," Kucinich says. "We need to awaken those sentiments in America and one way to do it is proportional representation." On the crisis in Iraq, Kucinich says: "If we learned anything from our experience, it should be that interventionism is not the wave of the future." Kucinich served in the in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997 to 2013, and ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012.
How Sweden's Feminist Initiative Party Became First of Its Kind to Win a Seat in European Parliament
In May, Sweden's Feminist Initiative party won a seat in the European Parliament, becoming the first feminist party in history to do so. We are joined by the party's co-founder, Gudrun Schyman, a former member of the Swedish Parliament. Schyman talks about the Feminist Initiative's focus on climate change, anti-racism and connecting the violence in intimate relationships to the violence in international relations. "The patriarch structure is global, and it shows in all fields of society, in your intimate relations, in the labor market," Schyman says. "We have to ban violence, and we have to see that the role of violence is always control, always power."
Swedish Left Party Surges in Polls with Focus on Climate Action & Fighting Privatization
As we broadcast from Almedalen Week, a unique political festival in Sweden, we are joined by Jonas Sjöstedt, Swedish chairperson of the Left Party and member of the Swedish Parliament. Sjöstedt describes the Left Party as a modern socialist, left-wing party with roots in the labor movement and a new focus on tackling climate change and privatization. "Sweden has become kind of an experiment for privatization, especially in the education system, in healthcare and the homes for the elderly," Sjöstedt says. "We want to ban all profit-making companies from these welfare sectors."

There are Stars in Your Apples
In 1990, at 8 years old, I went away to sleepaway camp for the first time. My parents chose Camp Morasha in Pennsylvania, 3,000 miles away from my Seattle abode, partially because my father had attended years earlier, and partially because it was filled with my cousins. It also granted them an excuse to eat their way through New York's kosher restaurants on their way to seeing us on Visiting Day, but this is a realization I only came to recently.
Is listening to stories a traditional sleepaway camp activity? At Morasha it certainly was. Every Shabbat morning, instead of a speech about that week's Torah portion, we were told a story. It was always about the animals of the Magical Forest. We looked forward to hearing about Leah the Lion, Moishy the Monkey, Ze'ev the Wolf, and more. Read the rest of this entry →

Bono Apologizes for Giving People Free Music
So here's how much music is apparently worth in 2014.
So here's how much music is apparently worth in 2014.
Bono says he's isn't surprised Sharon Osbourne that took to Twitter for a profanity-laced rant about U2's recent iTunes album giveaway.
For a guy who hangs out with Hollywood types, he sure has a very positive view of America. Check out Bono's speech at Georgetown and feel better.
When you're a big enough band to warrant a Super Bowl commercial for your new single, it's pretty safe to say you've made it. But U2 frontman Bono still has the same hopes and fears as any multimillionaire musician after decades of rock stardom.
Nelson Mandela's death on Dec. 5 inspired a number of heartfelt reactions from members of the rock community. While many lamented the loss of an inspiring figure and world leader, others felt Mandela's passing on a more personal level -- including U2 frontman Bono, who was fortunate enough to count the legendary activist among his friends.
There's lots of buzz over the movie 'Enough Said' right now -- partly because it stars the late James Gandolfini in his last big role. And partly because of who plays his daughter -- Eve Hewson, whose real-life father is even more famous: Bono.
Last year, Bono's emergency back surgery in Germany had the U2 fan base worried about his welfare.
There was an entirely different kind of concern for Bono over the weekend, when reports circulated that he was treated for chest pains last week at a hospital in Monaco. U2 fans can rest easy, though: It was just a routine checkup, according to a spokeswoman for the 51-year-old singer.
Adam Bevell is a huge U2 fan. He's been to a dozen of the Irish band's concerts, and danced with his wife to U2 favorite 'All I Want Is You' during their wedding.
The 32-year old father of four is also blind. At the U2 concert in Nashville, Tennessee he attended last Saturday he held up a sign advertising his services as a "blind guitar player."
At the end of their Saturday show in Nashville, Bono shared the spotlight with a fan. During the show Bono noticed a blind fan holding a sign asking to play a song for his wife.
Edmonton Oilers' center Gilbert Brule could have sworn he saw U2 frontman Bono hitchhiking on the side of a Canadian road Tuesday.
Kelsey Nichols, his girlfriend and the driver of the car that had allegedly just whizzed past the rock icon, had her

Philosophy, Ethics, Atheism, Nietzsche
I don't know if this will be on youtube forever but this is a really interesting interview. Thought I'd share. He's a pretty thoughtful and articulate guy.
Dr. Daniel Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and spent 11 years teaching in college classrooms. He wrote his dissertation on Ethics and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. On Camels With Hammers, the careful philosophy blog he writes for a popular audience, Dan argues for atheism and develops a humanistic ethical theory he calls "Empowerment Ethics". Dan also teaches affordable, non-matriculated, video-conferencing philosophy classes on ethics, Nietzsche, historical philosophy, and philosophy for atheists that anyone around the world can sign up for. (You can learn more about Dan's online classes here.) Dan is an APPA (American Philosophical Practitioners Association) certified philosophical counselor who offers philosophical advice services to help people work through the philosophical aspects of their practical problems or to work out their views on philosophical issues. (You can read examples of Dan's advice here.) Through his blogging, his online teaching, and his philosophical advice services each, Dan specializes in helping people who have recently left a religious tradition work out their constructive answers to questions of ethics, metaphysics, the meaning of life, etc. as part of their process of radical worldview change.
i figured i'd leave a comment on a post i knew something about, because, unfortunately, the only team i follow is the lakers, and i'm not much of a philosopher.mostly, i wanted to say thanks for the comments and that i hope you enjoy reading about my ridiculously tame life on my totally needless blog.:)
Yes, I'm sorry I have yet to diversify my topics or manage the daily pace you keep, but I am trying :)Keep up the great work, it's nice the way it's there and good every day. It's a constant in the world.

Can it
do VOiP?
@Can It
I'm sure it can - the real question is - will the operators of the networks allow a phone that does voip? (At least in the US)
Not the best use of accelerometers
If I wanted to track my movements I wouldn't use a phone, I would embed the accelerometer into a wristband or a belt, then bluetooth the feed to the phone for interacting with the maps. Combining this technology with belts, wrist and ankle bands could give me telepresence.
By the way
Get them to trace a U on the screen for unlock; easier, and makes more sense!
@by the way
I understood from the article that it was customisable. Which is probably better, because I doubt that the Japanese/Suomi/Zulu word for unlck starts with the letter 'U'.

Are you conscious? It's the cool new buzzword
Whether buying clothes, food or cosmetics, it means that you are ethically, environmentally aware
Related Articles
Published: 06 June 2012
Yes, clearly if you are reading this you are conscious, as in awake, but that is not what we are talking about here. We're talking about buying "conscious", eating "conscious", dressing "conscious", because in the worlds of fashion, food and cosmetics, conscious means far more than just responsive and aware. It means, more specifically, that you are ethically aware, environmentally aware. It's the new way for brands to say they have a social and environmental conscience, no less — and so do you, by buying into their "conscious".
Take H&M, for example. Last month it launched its 2012 Conscious Clothing collection — an eco-friendly fashion line made using organic cotton and recycled polyester, with styles that have already been worn by celebrities including actresses Michelle Williams, Kristin Davis and Amanda Seyfried. As a brand, H&M has decided that "Conscious" will be the name it gives to all of its work on creating a future of sustainable fashion.
"Sustainability is very much about being provident with the Earth's resources and recognising how people and the environment are affected by our operations. Hence the name 'Conscious' is a natural choice," says an H&M spokesperson. But of course, just recognising this is not enough: to be truly "conscious" you have to know about the impact of your actions and then buy the good stuff.
"We offer our customers a permanent range of various 'conscious products' with added sustainability value," says H&M. "Clearly labelled, they make better choice accessible and affordable to all our customers."
H&M is not the only one at it. Knitwear brand Chinti and Parker was set up by two Londoners, Anna Singh and Rachael Wood, with the idea that since they lead eco-friendly lives themselves, so should their company. It uses organic cotton, bamboo and seaweed fibres to make its clothes, which it calls "conscious cloth".
"The term represents beautiful, well-made clothes that last and which you're prepared to invest in," says Singh. "It also encompasses considerate and fair production, both environmentally and ethically speaking. It's the antithesis of fast fashion. The term sits beneath our name on our logo and acts as a kind of measure for everything we do."
Meanwhile, Ben & Jerry's, the ice-cream maker, which prides itself on its environmentally and financially sustainable values, recently launched a competition to find new organisations in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands that are creating new models for sustainable business.
At the same time, in the US it is taking part in a project called the Campus Consciousness Tour — a circuit around American universities encouraging students to take action for the environment.
In the cosmetics industry, Kiehl's, which produces luxury skincare products in recycled and recyclable packaging, views itself as a conscious company at the core. "'The Mission of Kiehl's' is a tribute to our belief in giving back, in supporting both the local communities in which we serve and the global community in which we live and thrive," says its UK general manager, Victoria Campbell. As a result, it supports charitable organisations in Aids research, environmental conservation and supports children and communities.
And in the arts, Ideas Tap, a charitable trust based in Bermondsey that provides funding opportunities to young people for arts projects, markets itself as a "conscious company" to prospective partners, highlighting its organic canteen and the internal economy it has created inside its building, where skills are traded for desk space.
But if what all these companies mean is that they are ethical, sustainable or environmentally friendly, why don't they just say so? Why choose "conscious"?
"There are a couple of factors at play," says Camilla Grey at branding consultancy Moving Brands.
"First, we've moved into a new phase where being ethical and eco is integrated into our lives — it is embedded into our psyche. As a result people now see themselves as 'conscious'.
"Secondly, [the words] 'ethical' and 'eco' have gone out of fashion. They imply a certain aesthetic — 'knitted muesli' as Mary Portas used to describe it. No matter how hard brands tried, they never could shake off that image. 'Conscious' gives them a bit more room to break free from all the white, green and hessian weave."
Kate Richards, a Londoner in the process of setting up her own ethical fashion boutique, The Keep, agrees.
"As a start-up, I've noticed that 'eco' and 'ethical' are a turn-off, especially in relation to fashion. It's not aspirational," she says. "As a result, I often say my vision is a shop for individuals looking to make a conscious choice in their clothing selection. This also puts the customer at the heart of the process."
Never has being unconscious been quite so dead.

The rooms are spacious, well equipped and comfy The atmosphere throughout the whole hotel is just fabulous The staff is helpful and super friendly
Wifi connection/coverage is unsufficient. Which can be unpleasant sometimes when staying here for business.
A Class act .. the whole experience was 5 stars ... Also das war schon einsame Klasse, Service einmalig ! Bestimmt 5 Sterne
Very good hotel, one of the best hotels in term of service in Germany Pleasant surroundings, good view, traditional hotel Clean and well managed, excellent restaurant
There aren't any, but wi-fi is a tad slow, esp in the evenings
room very very comfortable - great stylish modern bathroom. Entrance hall Lady who runs breakfasts
Internet - useless connection Gardens poor Staff struggled a bit with English
This place is a paradise. The staff becomes your family..All your need will be satisfy in a second. The restaurant is really good.
maybe the internet connection could be more upgrade..
Excellent service and food. Very comfortable.
Nice romantic weekend away, everything about this place is perfect
Beautiful hotel in a very pretty area. Staff at the restaurant was amazing.
Very overpriced and the pool was cold, plus you had to pay extra for the sauna.
Character of hotel
This is a wonderful, comfortable, rural hotel set in the middle of the forests and hills of Sauerland It is remote but that is what we wanted. Good wellness facilities; wifi is available even in the rooms (or parts thereof); excellent breakfast in quality, quantity and choice. Very helpful & polite staff. Our double room was very well presented and equipped (no coffee/tea facility but this was available in the foyer). Very clean and well equipped bathroom with walk in shower.
The main restaurant was closed (not mentioned when we booked) and the Stube had a limited menu although the steaks were excellent. They did not respond to my internet inquiry about wellness appointment.
The JAGDHOF is an extraordinary hotel which we recommend for a leisurely escape and personal renewal.
Room and restaurant and breakfast
The atmosphere is great. This hotel is so gorgeous in a traditional style
Great get away place for couples and family.
Everything just perfect! nice and beautiful setting. The complete staff does everything to make your stay comfortable! (delicious breakfast!)
The location is unique! And the old wooden structure with bell tower like in a fairy tale. The staff is extremely friendly.
The rooms are outdated, the bathrooms even more. Charm is not the same as old or in the style from 30 ago. Quality is not the same as heavy and dark. The food (and wine) is too expensive.
Everything was picture perfect...Ideal for a romantic getaway but in this instance perfect for business
Such a nice hotel! perfect location for enjoying the nature. The breakfast is just impressive and the dinner amazing! Super friendly staff.
I do a lot of travelling, and this place is just superb. I will go back. The staff, rooms, facilities, decor, food etc are all wonderful...
The staff at every point were devoted to making us welcome and comfortable. It was a genuine and personal welcome not that generated by some corporate policy.
The fact that we were unable to stay longer.
Very nice hotel in the middle of nature and very friendly staff. The dinner was 100% fantastic as was breakfast. Rooms look beautiful and are very spacious.
TV in the room was too small (distance to the bed). Pillows on the bed were really too soft for me. Bathroom needs to be updated - big contrast with rest of room and hotel.(but was of course very clean)
Loved the place! It feels like being in a fairytale! Amazing breakfast!
All very Good

"Rolling round the block, looking for my homie, spot a fly looking honey, walked up said hi, how are you, she walks away, damn…. Weeks pass, and every time I pass that spot I remember you, girl its like you infected my brain, or maybe my soul… Shit Iuno, but for real I'm going crazy and to be honest I sorta like it… Been 13 months now,still on my mind, Mmmm, like the hands on the time, click clock, every second my mind slips in through the lines… Been buzzin everyday like a fly, I swear its a crime. See no girl compares, because no bitch like you, wait maybe that's the problem…. Searching In the wrong place or maybe the wrong time, finally see you again this time you crying, run up quick to hug and be next to you… You hug me, telling me how I'm different than all the other guys… Hmmm now how in the hell do you know? I'm here because I've dreamed about this moment every day for the last 3 years… See girl dreams do come true, wait….. Damn, just another dream, get up real quick, homie calls me up, this seems familiar… Got to the spot walk up, see you walking out, I have two choices, I either get out start this cycle or stay in and let you be…. I walk out, can't help it, I've drempt about you for what seems like an eternity, I just want to say two words "hi there", you smile???? Wait… It all makes sense I didn't realize that smile was an invitation, keep walking along side you, you turn ask me what's my name? And if we've met before? Truth Is I'm the sun and your the flower, we've known each other for what seams like forever, I know you feel it, instead of words I kiss you, simply because i felt as if i missed you. Yeah, i felt as if i missed you.

There's this really tiny old lady who just asked me to help her make meat buns and the image of Sonic the Werehog (or as I call him, Snuggles McPuffnFluff) helping a tiny old lady make food was ADORABLE.
ksdfdsfk I had to do this
I'll finish it tomorrow or someday eventually maybe
Faceplants seem to be a recurring theme Sonic, you should sort that out.
(defense provided by janedoodles.tumblr.com)
I love this giant fluffy puffball to death. I always felt he was a really cool idea and made way for some really nice development for Sonic. There were lots of theories as to how Sonic would have changed into him in the months leading up to the game, and the actual story was actually pretty nice. Just because he's a werewolf hedgehog doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it's basically the same thing as Bruce Banner turning into The Hulk only he gets to keep his consciousness.
How does he not fit into a Sonic game, by the way? The entire point of Sonic the Hedgehog was to be the cooler alternative of Mario. Mario had the jumping and the turtles, while Sonic had the running and the robots. Green Hill Zone is nothing but rollercoaster loop-de-loops, and high speed robot smashing. The Chemical Plant Zone was an enormous nuclear power plant with deadly pink water. Angel Island was an Island IN THE SKY. I can understand how the Werehog might not fit into the game if you don't think werewolves are cool, but there are quite a lot of young children who do think that werewolves are cool.
Also, because he's too slow? Really? If a fan is willing to play as Knuckles, Rouge, Tails, and Eggman in Sonic Adventure 2, then why aren't you willing to play as Sonic the Werehog? He's not a clone of the Power type characters, by the way. Power characters had lots of projectile "weapons" to throw at people, and could float upwards from fans on the ground in Sonic Heroes. Never once did a Power type character scale a wall ledge, or climb up a pole without the aid of a speed type character, or have anywhere near the same amount of puzzle cracking to do in Unleashed.
I cannot say anything about whether or not the Werehog is a God of War clone or not, but I must say that the dislike of him is unwarranted. I would also like to mention that I am glad that the Wii version of the game takes advantage of the motion sensors in the Wii remote, because actually smashing up monsters is much more fun than mashing buttons in succession.

Robert Seldon Duncanson (1821–1872)
The Caves, 1869
Oil on canvas
Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Betty Dillard
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art has acquired a major painting by 19th-century landscape artist Robert Seldon Duncanson (1821–1872), the first African-American artist to achieve international acclaim.
The work, titled The Caves, painted in 1869, was originally owned by Cincinnati Abolitionist Richard Sutton Rust (1815–1906), and it remained in his family until the Amon Carter purchased it in late 2012.
The painting will be shown to the public for the first time in almost 150 years beginning May 4, when it is displayed in the Amon Carter's galleries.
"Duncanson is an immensely important figure in American art," said Andrew J. Walker, director of the Amon Carter. "He was a self-taught, black artist from Cincinnati and a leading landscape painter of his time, which was a monumental accomplishment during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. Owning a work by this esteemed artist greatly enriches our collection."
The painting, about 3 feet tall, depicts a view of the wilderness, with unusual geographic features of steep ravines and sandstone cliffs perforated by a canopy of evergreens and a trio of caverns. The Caves is painted in the Hudson River School tradition, which was an inspiration to Duncanson after he viewed works by Thomas Cole and other Hudson River School artists at Cincinnati's Western Art Union in the late 1840s.
Duncanson's paintings seldom depict the political and cultural issues of the Civil War, such as slavery and discrimination, according to Margi Conrads, deputy director of art and research. Instead, the artist may have included subtle cues in his landscapes that conveyed his anti-slavery position.
"His depiction of caves poses intriguing questions about whether the painting includes references to the abolitionist movement or the role of African-Americans in everyday society," Conrads said. "Caves were among the safe havens for runaway slaves through the Civil War. Additionally, both before and after the War, African-Americans guided tourists through caves, and it's possible Duncanson is referencing this in his painting through the figure at the cavern's mouth. Regardless, the painting is a beautiful testimony of an artist dedicated to depicting the essential natural world."
Four watercolors from the museum's permanent collection by Adrien Mayers (1801?–1833) will be exhibited near the Duncanson painting through Sept. 4. The watercolors portray an early view of Cincinnati, Duncanson's adopted hometown and the place that nurtured his career.
Also on view are works by 20th- and 21st-century black artists, Romare Bearden (1911–1988) and Sedrick Huckaby (b. 1975). Bearden's work is featured in the Amon Carter's summer exhibition Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, on view May 18 through Aug. 11. Fort Worth artist Sedrick Huckaby's 18-foot-by-14-foot painting Hidden in Plain Site, created in 2011, is on view from May 14 through Oct. 31 in the museum's atrium.

Distilled in Scotland using water from a tributary of River Spey, Speyburn 10 year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is a light, smooth whiskey that even impressed me (not being much of a scotch/whiskey drinker). It lacked the distinct burning aftertaste that I often don't care for in a whiskey, and instead was surprisingly smooth.
I personally liked the warm, almost spicy flavor with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. My husband, a more experienced and discerning scotch whiskey drinker, was equally impressed with the distinct, yet subtle flavors.
Packaged in a cylindrical tube, Speyburn Single Malt Scotch Whiskey makes an ideal gift, perfect for the upcoming holiday season. It is also a gift you can feel good about giving, as Speyburn has recently joined forces with the Spey Foundation, working on conservation efforts along the River Spey.
While I have no doubt this would make an excellent cocktail, my advice would be to enjoy this one on the rocks and savor the flavors!

Video Trends & Technologies: Megapixel Drives the Market
Once considered niche products, HD cameras are changing the way integrators deploy surveillance solutions
With all of these features and form factors now available, system designers can specify different cameras to fulfill different defined surveillance objectives. Gone are the days where users had limited choices how and where they could deploy high resolution megapixel imaging solutions.
Megapixel Cameras Drive System Performance
Given their performance, there is little doubt that megapixel cameras are presently one of the technology drivers for new video surveillance systems. Their HD resolution and wide area coverage capabilities are strong influencers for users to migrate to networked systems. The ability to capture and read license plates, currency and chip denominations, and individuals' faces can now be easily achieved within the context of larger imaging areas. Add video analytics, and these capabilities can be triggered automatically with high-resolution recording and alert notification to further increase overall situational awareness and security.
In addition to improving performance, megapixel cameras also provide lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and superior return on investment (ROI). Rather than deploy multiple standard-resolution cameras to cover a single area such as an open area parking lot, a single megapixel camera can typically get the job done without compromise. The reduction in the number of cameras means lower equipment purchase and installation costs. The lack of moving parts in most megapixel cameras also reduces the possibility of mechanical failure, which means lower maintenance costs. And fewer cameras require fewer eyeballs to monitor them, which can also lead to reduced overhead.
I anticipate that the market will be seeing many new megapixel cameras coming to market in even more configurations with increased larger pixel counts, enhanced bandwidth optimization and more advanced and comprehensive feature sets. And that they will continue to drive the migration to networked systems with improved video system performance through 2014.

Don't worry. He'll be back by the second round of pool play next WBC.
He could have gotten hurt at any time in any spring training game, but to get hurt in furtherance of a goal that means nothing to the Dodgers is a tough pill to swallow.
I am a Dodger fan and I fully support Ramirez' participation in the WBC. Furthermore, I wanted both Kemp and Kershaw to pay for Team USA.

Merchandising Report - Personal Care
Getting Personal With Your Care
August 28, 2012
Each month, PLBuyer brings you a different Merchandising Report, which will give you a snapshot of private label ads and key facts for a particular category or product segment. This issue looks at what is happening in personal care products. See the various personal care products that CVS, Jewel-Osco, Kmart and Rite-Aid were featuring in their ad circulars during May and June. Also, scan some key facts on the personal care category. These monthly reports are compiled with data supplied by Chicago-based research firm Market Track, and Mintel International Group, Ltd.
Featured Personal Care Products
CVS was featuring its CVS hair care, body wash, bar soap, liquid hand soap, facial towelettes and all acne care at a buy one, get one 50 percent off discount in late May.
Jewel-Osco was featuring its Equaline facial cleansing towelettes for $2.99 for a 30-count package in early June.
Kmart was featuring its Image Essentials haircare, skincare, nailcare, body wash and beauty tools at a buy one, get one 50 percent off discount in early June.
Rite-Aid was featuring its Rite Aid Renewal and RX All Sun Care at a buy one, get the second free discount with its Rite-Aid Wellness+ card in late May.
Personal Care Facts
U.S. MARKET SIZE: $6.5 billion for shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products in 2011; $4.4 billion for soap, bath, and shower products in 2011.
GROWTH PROSPECTS: After a flat five-year stretch, sales of shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products are expected to grow less than 2 percent a year through 2015. In soap, bath, and shower products, growth is expected to hover around 2 percent annually through 2016.
WHERE IT SELLS: Sales of shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products grew in supermarkets and drugstores from 2009-11, but other retailers remain the largest channel for sales. In soap, bath, and shower products, mass merchandisers account for the largest sales, followed distantly by supermarkets, and then a larger drop off to drugstores.
