I had ordered 8 chairs and needed two benches to complete a major redo of my dining room. The benches and chairs arrived the same day and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the chairs and benches were from the same company, same line, same color. Score! I think they look very high end. The benches are very well packaged - each packed separately in their own bag (like high-end purses or shoes). The color is cream - just like I ordered - no yellow, no white, just a perfect cream.
This looks great in our entryway. It was well packaged for shipping and easy to assemble.
Great quality light but heavy duty at the same time Beautiful color. Great addition to the room
This is a great addition to our modern office reception area. Great for one of my brokers to set stuff down on, or our clients to sit on, or just for an excellent stylish accessory for the room!
This Ottoman is very sturdy & beautiful. Fits great in my livingroom. Easy to assemble.
This bench is nice, but not exceptional. Very light weight.....but it looks nice.
Impressed with this bench- was very easy to put together and looks nice. Good quality, I've purchased other pieces of furniture from Overstock that are from the same brand and have been happy with all of them. Recommended

So until VbV goes, I'll have to keep turning Adbloc Plus off if I'm using Safari on my Mac or keep using Firefox.
It was quite amusing when Safari wouldn't display the VbV screen when you're trying to pay for concert tickets and the timer on the main screen is counting down! Quickly re-enters all data into Firefox session, finally gets tickets paid confirmation, then spends an hour or so working out why Safari didn't work in the first place.
How the FLAC do I tell MP3s from lossless audio?
May The Source Be With You*
Unless you're paying huge sums for actual hi-fi headphones, as opposed to relatively huge sums to walk round wearing a mediocre fashion statement (sorry Beats users) or Bose, then I really doubt you can tell between FLAC and MP3.
But sat in the comfort of your own home, that's a different matter. As others have said, at least with FLAC the data is all there for a time when you can either afford something good enough to extract it (at the minute start with a Naim Uniti and work upwards) or when something new comes along to use it to the full.
With MP3 though and CD for that matter (the data is there but 99% of CD players can't extract it fast enough and decode it real time), the "missing" bits you may not be able to hear affect the room you're listening in, feed their resonance or echo or whatever into the music you can hear and hence how your ears hear the rest of the music. Another reason to make friends with your hi-fi dealer and borrow or demo speakers in your home.

Google Maps adds all UK public transport timetables
Waste of time for Sheffield's bus service, there's a timetable, it changes occasionally after they've "established passenger patterns", but the end result is the same; stand at the bus stop and hope.
The trams generally run to time, but rather cleverly don't go where most of the people live and are only useful to students as they pass the university and Meadowhall if you want all the shops that the city centre doesn't have (so everything aside from John Lewis). As for calling it South Yorkshire Supertram, that's only because Sheffield is in South Yorkshire, it doesn't mean the tram goes outside the boundaries of Sheffield.

Strong ARM: The Acorn Archimedes is 25
25 Years...NOOooooooo
I can't believe its 25 years, feels like 25 minutes.
I remember talking to the owner of a little computer shop in Stamford near where we lived at the time and who had the A310s in when they first came out. He said one of his customers bought one to replace an Acorn Electron he used to help run his business. He said the chap came back in a few days after he'd bought it and told him he'd transferred the application he was using (sorry, brain needs a defrag, no idea what it was) from the Elk to the Arch and ran it as normal. He went off to make a cuppa and came back, with the Arch claiming it had finished. He thought he'd done something wrong so checked it all out, but his results were all there. The surprise was the Elk used to take all night to do the same processing!

"struggle with the finer points of photography"
Since when has focusing been one of photography's finer points? It's either in focus or its not and then its simply blurred. The Lytro simply lets you make the decision of the focal point after you've taken the photo.
I'd guess the Lytro will appeal to women, means they can change their mind after the event....

Of course, hopefully the price of Thunderbolt kit will drop and when its time to replace the iMac, the external drive will get replaced as well.
New Mac OS X: Mountain Lion roars at unauthorised apps
I Don't Care
Say what you like, I sit in front of a Windows PC all day and its a pain, partly because of all the rubbish the company insists is installed and partly because of Windows. Things are only going to get worse once we get Windows 7. (Don't laugh, Windows 8 will be on sale before that happens at the rate we're going!)
I come home, sit in front of my iMac or MacBook Air and simply enjoy using them, because they just work. I'd take OS X over any other OS, simply because its nicer to use than the rest. I've got a Win7 box at home as well and it dual boots to Ubuntu 10.04, so its not like I'm not covering all the bases.

Sony NEX-C3 compact system camera
I looked at the NEX series whilst looking for a "travel" camera, lighter than my DLSR + lenses but without the restrictions imposed by even the larger compacts like the Canon G series.
The images off the NEX are great, but its horrible to hold, it just doesn't balance nicely with the lens at one end. I opted for M4/3 in the shape of an Olympus EP-1, but it was a close fight between that and the Lumix G series. The added benefit to M4/3 is you can buy an adapter and fit Olympus OM mount lenses, the results are impressive!
Only drawback so far are; there's no viewfinder, I've lost count the number of times I've gone to take a shot expecting one with suitable embarrassment as a result and the auto focus system is easy to fool, leading to shots with the wrong thing in focus if you're not careful. Both Lumix & Olympus now have models out that have expressly addressed the focus issue, so it could be upgrade time.

Laptop bags: 15-inchers
Have to agree with AC, Waterfield Designs from www.sfbags.com are superb. Bought one for my MacBook Air and they are top quality.
A word of warning though, expect to get stung by UK Customs and Royal Mail! By the time they'd taxed it (a reasonable £7) and charged £23 to deliver it (which compared to $50 to do 5000 miles is a bit steep shall we say) once it arrived, I'd ended up paying as much for the postage as I had for the bag!

Apple applies to patent a SIM you can't remove
Where's your problem?
What's the difference in having a SIM as part of the main board & one in a socket? Generally anyone who wants to use a smartphone has signed an x month contract anyway so they're tied to the SIM.
End of contract, decide to keep phone but move provider: Apply for PAC code, Apple by then have added "New Operator" feature into iTunes, insert PAC code into dialog box, job done.

So lets see, no BMM or onboard mail in your first release, but you boldly keep at it. iPad2 sells by the bucket load and before Xmas arrives, Amazon launches the Fire (in the US only it seems) and you're 2-0 down by half time at the the of the year.
You make an attempt at pulling a goal back by releasing an update, but still omit BMM and score an own goal instead, then Apple show the iPad3 a month later, possibly introducing a smaller form factor as well or even making the iPad2 the cheaper version as they have with the iPhone.
Come April, you're relegated to either axing the playbook altogether, or cutting the price so any mug buys it. I'd be worried about letters of support from the board in the meantime as well!
Energy minister gives grudging nuke endorsement

Short of surrounding these shores with flocks of whirling windmills or tidal flow turbines and continuing to plant even more in what's left of our green and pleasant land (before the new planning bill covers it in concrete & tarmac) , use what's left of our coal reserves (heresy, fancy thinking of that) there's no RELIABLE, immune to changes in weather, wind, whatever, electrical source to provide enough to keep my Mac running so I can read El Reg.

Waterstone's to take on Kindle and Nook with own reader
Easy comparison
Seeing as their web prices are the same as the shop, you'd hope that to get people to come into their shops to buy a book, rather than wait for it to arrive by post, their "Check local store" type search would be up to date? Sadly not.
So my usual process for buying a book goes something like this:
Find book I fancy - see if Waterstones have it locally so you can have a quick look - go to store if it says they have it - find they don't - check Amazon and find its a good few £s cheaper - order from Amazon.
If the shop price was a couple of quid more than Amazon, you'd often buy from the shop to get instant gratification, but when its more often than not half the shop or Waterstones web price, its a no brainer.
As for e-book prices, forget it, still cheaper to buy the paperback most of the time and its still easier in physical format for technical books and non-fiction with colour photos.

While the person that checked me in tried to be helpful, he couldn't resolve an issue that I had with the gas gauge. I only needed to fillup the tank to 5/8, but apparently the gauge froze at 1/2 tank. By the time it unfroze it was on full. As I see it, I put about 10 extra gallons in the tank which works out to $35.

MIAMI BEACH — ``Duane will be the best player on the team this year and he'll be unnoticed because guys don't challenge him. He'll go into the draft and he'll be a guy who ends up playing 10 years in the league and a first-round draft choice and everybody will be like, `Where was he?' ''
_ Curtis Johnson, University of Miami receivers coach, August 1997
Duane Starks wasn't the biggest, fastest or strongest cornerback in the draft this year.
But as he sat at agent Drew Rosenhaus' Miami Beach home Saturday, watching the NFL Draft on a large-screen television, surrounded by about 40 friends and family, bouncing his 3-year-old son, Duane Jr., on his lap, one thing occurred to everybody: Starks is the best cornerback in this draft.


text:
By Paul Strauss: Nonito Donaire (26-1-0) commented between rounds late in his fight with Omar Narvaez (35-1-2) that he was bored. In the post fight interview, he told Max Kellerman that he now knows how Manny Pacquiao felt in his fight against Joshua Clottey. Indeed the intent of the two fighters was similar. Wrap yourself up in defense and never come unwrapped for fear of getting hit. Boring!
Max and Harold Letterman compared Narvaez' style to that of a "can" that needed an "opener". Harold thought he had the answer by suggesting Nonito needed to simply open with a frontal assault, and then step around to the side and continue with the attack. Well, that's all well and good if you have a relatively stationary target, but that wasn't the case with Omar. So, there wasn't any opener for this can of caution.
Donaire came closest in the third round when the little southpaw mistakenly tried to trade a bit. As a result, Nonito caught him with a good straight right hand, followed by a glancing left hook. Those punches shook up Narvaez, but he quickly resealed the can and never really opened it again. Sadly, that apparently was his intent all along. At least that is what ring commentator Roy Jones, Jr. surmised from comments Omar made in the pre-fight media event. Specifically, Roy explained that if you were listening carefully, you would have gathered that Omar didn't come to this country from Argentina with the intent of pulling off a big upset. Rather, he came to demonstrate his boxing abilities, and prove that he could go the distance with a great fighter like Donaire.
Roy also offered his opinion when asked, "How to open the can"? He said you don't. You just keep busy and force the opponent to keep his arms up tight, because "if he's on the defend, he can't offend". Well, Roy was wrong, because Narvaez still managed to be offensive. His lack of desire to win the fight. The only one he managed to hurt was his audience.
HBO and the promoters should have been on edge of their chairs after Narvaez make that comment, because it's doubtful that is what they had in mind when the match was made as Saturday's main event at the Madison Square Garden (MSG WaMuTheatre). Max Kellerman attempted to sum up things late in the fight when he said, it was enjoyable watching Navaez demonstrate his boxing skills early in the fight, but some where along the line, the guy has to decide he wants to win the fight and take some chances.
It became evident, as Roy mentioned, that Narvaez never had any desire to win the fight. He wanted to survive, which he did. But, if he had any real desire to impress USA fans, he failed. Who cares if a fighter can imitate a tightly sealed canister of safeness. Fans came to watch one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world exhibit his talents. Because of Narvaez' tactics, Nonito was never given the opportunity. Donaire aimed to please, and tried his damnedest. He gave Narvaez every opportunity to take a shot at him. He opened up, dropped his guard and taunted him, but Narvaez wouldn't bite. The seal stayed tight, and as a result, most of Donaire's punches bounced off of Narvaez' gloves and arms. Narvaez remained relatively unmarked, but that certainly was not a testament to his willingness to fight. The three judges were in agreement. It was a shutout 120-108.
Prior to the main event, HBO replayed the Hopkins vs Dawson fight. Bob Papa, Max, Roy and Harold all seemed to think Referee Pat Russell should have declared the fight a no contest because "no boxing move" caused the injury which prevented Hopkins from continuing. There was no discussion about whether Hopkins was faking, but Max did say that he caught a glimpse of medical report calling for physical rehab. Harold Lederman also offered his opinion that Referee Pat Russell erred in declaring the fight a TKO, because in Harold's opinion there has to be a blow involved that causes the injury, and there was none. Several situations come to mind that would conflict with that narrow interpretation, but for now they all mean nothing, because we all know that the WBC has ruled the fight to be a Technical Draw, which allows Hopkins to keep his title. Unfortunately, from comments the announcers made last night, it sounds like the California Commission will not be meeting until December? Also, wouldn't it be interesting if Referee Pat Russell is allowed to explain his decision of "no foul" and TKO. But, that hasn't happened. Don't You get the same kind of uncomfortable feeling that you have when you've just witnessed an upset. It's when the decision should be just a formality, but for some reason the judges delay and delay in tallying up their score cards. Then the announcer gives their decision, and the "I was robbed" shouts fill the air.

Sleep problems are common in the elderly. In general, older people need 30 to 60 minutes less sleep than younger people. Their sleep is less deep and more choppy than sleep in younger people. A healthy 70 year old may wake up four times during the night without it being due to disease.

I am so excited to introduce our first featured photogra-momma Kelli France! She's an amazing photographer and the mother of 3 sweet kiddos. Although super-busy, she found time to squeeze in an interview with me. You'll also see some of her beautiful images at the bottom of the post. Thanks so much Kelli!
Kelli, what prompted you to enter the photography industry? I did photoshoots of my siblings and friends even as a kid. I remember having these great visions in my head when I was like ten and of course, my hot pink $10 Kmart camera just didn't give me those results. It's just always been a passion of mine to create images like the magazines pictures that I saw.
How long have you been a professional photographer? For over 8 years.
How would you describe your style? Romantic, chic, whimsical, & classy.
What is the favorite shooting trick you have up your sleeve? I like to tilt my lens just a notch to create a sense of motion.
You work out of your home . . . what do you do to make sure that the lines between family and business don't get blurred? (At least not too much!) I really try hard not to work while my kids are awake. It's too frustrating. I also have a set schedule of when I work and play. That way I use my time wisely when I work and can look forward to the times that I get to play (date night–woot! woot!)
Who or what inspires you in your art? Like I mentioned before, I have always been into fashion magazines, even as a little girl. My favorites are Child and Vogue. I just love looking at the images in magazines and getting ideas. Also, my kids have always inspired me in my art. I just love how silly and innocent children are.
You started an online photography educational program – FrancyPants Academy. Can you tell us about that? Sure! Francypants Academy {www.francypantsacademy.com} teaches Mom-preneurs how to create powerful images and a brilliant boutique business that STANDS OUT in a digital world. I got my degree in Elementary Education so it's a great way for me to share my love of teaching with my passion for photography AND running a business. Many Mom photographers have the passion but lack the business knowledge needed to make it worth their while. I offer ONLINE MENTORING as well as COUTURE KITS (coming soon!), which are kits that include a specific lesson and templates needed to strengthen your photography business. I am also in the process of working out the details for a workshop later on in the year.
Can you share with us a couple of your favorite images and what makes you love them so much? Sure! I love it when an image turns out exactly as you had it in your head (or better!) I also love it when I capture a sweet moment in time. The image of the little boy with his cheeks being squished is actually my son and I wanted to capture me being unable to resist the urge to squish ;0)
To see more beautiful imagery by Kelli France, go to www.francephotography.com. Also make sure to check out Francypants Academy . . . it's a great resource for busy mom-photographers to grow their business and grow in their art.
Have a great day everyone!

Not a drop to drink?
It's World Water Week. You've heard it before, but if oil dominated the 20th century, water will dominate the 21st. The folks at the International Water Management Institute have put out a new report, and while they stress that the world isn't running out of water, they do want to alarm you. In case you didn't know, there is a world water crisis. And it's largely because our diets are changing.
Check out these stats:
Imagine a channel of water a meter deep, a kilometre wide, and 7 million kilometres long—long enough to encircle the globe 180 times. That's the prodigious amount of water it takes each year to produce 3,000 calories of food a day for each of the world's 6.1 billion people.
Broken down into smaller quantities, a calorie of food takes a liter of water to produce. A kilo of grain takes 500-4,000 liters, a kilo of industrially produced meat 10,000 liters. Surprising numbers, indeed. Add 2-3 billion people by 2050 and accommodate their changing diets from cereals to more meat, and that will add another 5 million kilometres to the channel of water needed to feed the world's people. Where will that water come from?
And they've put together this map of water scarcity. FP noted some of the countries highlighted here when we put together a List of impending water crises.

D-backs halt Cubs' streak; walks haunt Jeff Samardzija
BY TONI GINNETTI email@example.com June 1, 2013 11:58PM
Jeff Samardzija
Updated: July 3, 2013 7:07AM
A handful of pitchers carry the kind of reputation that gives their teammates an edge on the field.
Jeff Samardzija might not have that reputation yet — but his performances are building a case for it.
"I played for a long time, and there were certain guys that when you woke up in the morning, you'd think 'we have to score a few runs today because this guy is capable of throwing shutouts or giving up just one or two,' '' Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
"That's in your mind-set — a guy throwing strikes, powering guys away and competing like he [Samardzija] does.
"I don't care who you are—you know the one guy on the other team who is pitching [and] you're going to have to scratch out runs one way or another.''
Samardzija had good stuff again Saturday — but his 11 strikeouts through six innings weren't good enough to overcome two walks that got him into trouble in the seventh.
They led to a three-run inning before a four-run inning off Carlos Marmol (2-3) in the eighth turned the game the Diamondbacks' way.
Paul Goldschmidt's grand slam off Marmol was one of two four-run innings for the Diamondbacks in their 12-4 rout that ended the Cubs five-game winning streak.
The Cubs had three hits off Ian Kennedy (3-3), two by Nate Schierholtz, who doubled home a run in the first and homered in the seventh.
The only other hit was David DeJesus' first-inning double.
"Those walks in the seventh hurt,'' Samardzija said. "Those things happen. The outcome was a little skewed because we battled them the whole game. But they're a first place team for a reason.''
The Diamondbacks scored four more in the ninth off Zach Putnam, who was just recalled from Class AAA.
He was one of six Cubs pitchers before it was over. Of the eight walks issued, four came from Samardzija and three from Marmol.
"The bottom line is you walk eight guys, you're not going to win many games,'' Sveum said.
Samardzija gave up a leadoff home run to Gerardo Parra. But the Cubs came back with three runs for him in the first after a 2 hour 21 minute rain delay.
He was at his best again in the third and fourth, striking out six in a row after leaving the bases loaded in the second. He had eight strikeouts at the end of four innings.
"The one thing when you're dealing with power guys like Samardzija — and not to take away from anyone's bullpen — but when you have a guy who left the seventh or eighth and is still throwing 97 and has thrown 90 pitches, even if he was at 100 pitches, it's hard to find someone in your bullpen who has that kind of stuff,'' Sveum said.
There is also the psychological advantage of keeping his dominating pitcher in the game.
"If you take that guy out in the 8th inning, the other team is thinking 'thank God,' '' he said.
Sveum didn't get to see much of his starter's latest outing. Umpire Joe West ejected him in the second after arguing a call at first by Toby Basner.
It was the second ejection this season for Sveum.
"Joe was fine. I was saying my piece and I was out there long enough,'' Sveum said.

About twenty-five years ago or so, Colorado was the place where people escaped from the rat race to live a healthy lifestyle - to jog, ski, eat yogurt (plain) and crunchy granola, and turn that hobby working with macrame into a means to make some money to survive. Maybe the young were smoking marijuana too, but they all seemed happy and healthy when they came home to visit.I wonder if the kids who are moving to Colorado today still jog and ski - though maybe it´s better if they stay off the roads and slopes.

#1 - I have for years lived in a small town on Colorado´s Western slope. No culture, no fancy restaurants or groceries, no cable TV .. why, we had nothing out here. Which was cause for a huge Hallelujah.In the middle 90s the invasion began. The hippies of the 70s in Boulder and Denver, their Colorado dreams were being crowded out by new generations of newbs from back East. So, the people who came West to get away from the East moved further West and brought their infections with them. The demands for culture, fine groceries, cable TV, fine dining and that´s when the Californicators caught on that today, you can actually live in what had been the Empty Places. The Californicators sold their 1940s era track homes for a million bucks moved here bought 40 acres, acted as their own contractor and swarmed over the land like Biblical locust. In 15 years one county went from 29,000 people (and it´s a big county) to nearly 200,000. And with that invasion came a flood of Mexican and Central American killers, robbers, rapers and wife beaters, drug dealers .. and 30mps internet.The suck is unbelievable if you lived here before.

Based Off Is Off Base
Enough is enough. It's time to blow the whistle on an obnoxious faux idiom that has the popular culture under its spell. The offending usage is based off and its alternate form, based off of.
Both are everywhere. One hears and sees them constantly over the airwaves, in print, and online. A Google search yields these nauseous nuggets: "Dr. House is based off of Sherlock Holmes." "Their favorite classic movies are based off old fairy tales." "It's basically a stretched out HTC One M8, which is what the tablet is based off of." There are hundreds more.
Everyone knows the correct phrase, based on, which has been around forever. But somehow, on became off, or worse, off of—a compound preposition that all English authorities reject as substandard.
The logical conclusion is that anyone who says "based off" doesn't know what based means. As a verb, to base means "to form a foundation for." The noun base refers to the underlying part that something rests on, not off.
The words base and basis are closely related and sometimes synonymous. Would anybody say, "The board meets off a daily basis"?
There's really no excuse for based off. Whoever coined it was just fooling around or talking too fast. It subsequently caught on with other knuckleheads, and now there are those who defend its legitimacy.
But based off is another example of what might be called "Frankenstein formations." You know, grab a part from here, another part from over there, and stitch them together to create a monstrously unsuitable word or phrase. Witness how the unholy merging of regardless and irrespective begat irregardless, a gruesome beast that even pedants with pitchforks can't drive from the countryside.
Today's high schools and colleges turn out students with negligible language skills, and the result is heedless writing and speech. Once upon a time, people who knew their pronouns said, "You and I should invite her and her husband for dinner." Now you're more likely to hear, "You and me should invite she and her husband for dinner." For some perverse reason, those who don't watch their language tend to say things that are the precise opposite of correct.
That would seem to explain how based on became based off.
Pop Quiz
Two of the options in each sentence below are correct. Can you identify the "Frankenstein formation"?
1. I am calling in regards to/as regards/in regard to the job opening.
2. The paragraph comprises/is comprised of/is composed of three sentences.
3. The novel centers on/revolves around/centers around marriage in the eighteenth century.
Pop Quiz Answers
1. The phrase in regards to is nonstandard.
2. The phrase is comprised of is incorrect. The word comprise means "to be composed of," so "comprised of" would mean "composed of-of."
3. The phrase centers around is nonstandard.

More Of
Earlier this month we observed some of the ways that little of can bring big trouble to students of English. Unfortunately, we aren't done yet.
We previously discussed certain sentences in which the verb is derived not from the subject, but from the object of the preposition of. Here's an example: She is one of those people who love to travel. Not loves to travel. The verb is determined by people, not by one.
Similarly, with many words that indicate portions—some, most, all, etc.—we are guided by the object of of. If the noun after of is singular, we use a singular verb: Some of the pie is left. If it's plural, we use a plural verb: Some of the books are gone.
With collective nouns such as crowd or family, the speaker or writer has leeway since such words, though singular in form, denote more than one person or thing. Therefore, Most of my family is here and Most of my family are here are both grammatical sentences.
Other areas of concern:
• Off of Drop of. Off of is not a valid phrasal preposition. In sentences like Keep off of the grass or You ought to come off of your high horse, the of adds nothing.
• Outside of We stood outside of the building. Make it outside the building. In sentences indicating location, "of is superfluous with outside," says Roy H. Copperud. His fellow English scholar Theodore M. Bernstein calls outside of "a substandard casualism." With sentences where outside of is not literal, such as Outside of you, I have no one, there are better alternatives available, including except for, other than, besides, apart from, and aside from.
• All of When a pronoun is involved, the of is essential, as in phrases like all of it and all of us. When a possessive noun is preceded by a or an, or has no modifier, again the of is required: all of a book's wisdom, all of history's lessons. But when a noun is preceded by an adjective or by the, it's leaner and cleaner to drop the of in all of: all my books, all the lessons of history.
• Out of The of is necessary; only bumpkins say Get out my house. Two notable exceptions: door and window—no of is needed in We hurried out the door or I stared out the window.
• Couple of The of stays. This includes phrases such as a couple of things, a couple of more things, a couple of hundred things. "Omitting the of is slipshod," says Bryan A. Garner in A Dictionary of Modern American Usage. "Using couple not as a noun but as an adjective is poor usage."
That's enough of for a while. Amazing the confusion that one pint-size preposition can cause.

The Wicked Of
What would prompt H.W. Fowler to pick on the word of?
Fowler (1858-1933), whom many regard as the dean of English-language scholars, ascribed to of "the evil glory of being accessary to more crimes against grammar than any other."
Do not be fooled by looks. Weighing in at a svelte two letters, this petite preposition couldn't appear more guileless and benign. But of is the culprit in many, perhaps most, subject-verb blunders.
Those who watch their English must constantly remind themselves not to mistake the noun in an of phrase for the actual subject. This is a key rule for understanding subjects. Hasty writers, speakers, readers, and listeners might miss the error in the following sentence: A bouquet of roses lend color and fragrance to a room.
Make it A bouquet of roses lends color and fragrance to a room. In the sentence, roses is the object of the preposition of. The true subject is bouquet (bouquet lends, not roses lend).
But once we learn that principle, here comes of to stir up yet more mischief. First, consider this sentence: He is the only one of those men who is always courteous. Where's the mischief, you may well ask; who refers to one, calling for the singular verb is. True enough—but wait, we're not finished.
Now look at this almost identical sentence: He is one of those men who is always courteous. That is incorrect. The correct sentence is He is one of those men who are always courteous. This time the word who refers to men, requiring the plural verb are.
Are you skeptical? If we slightly change the word order, which verb would you select: Of those men who is/are always courteous, he is one. Would anyone choose men who is?
If any armchair grammarians remain unconvinced, let them try to explain this sentence: Pope Francis is one of the popes who has led the Catholic Church for almost two thousand years. Obviously, it's utter nonsense unless the verb is have led. It may madden us, it may sadden us, but popes—despite being the object of of—necessitates the plural verb have led.
Thus does of sabotage our best efforts. First, we train ourselves to ignore an of phrase in order to find the true subject. Then a he is one of those sentence comes along and we find that the object of the preposition of is the key to finding the correct verb.
Mr. Fowler, you do have a point.

Learning From the Masters
There is a universal fellowship of nitpickers and always has been.
More than a century ago, the iconoclastic American writer Ambrose Bierce gave the world Write It Right (1909) and The Devil's Dictionary (1911). George Orwell published his classic essay Politics and the English Language in 1946. In the 1970s and '80s, former NBC news anchor Edwin Newman and New York literary and drama critic John Simon each wrote best-sellers deploring our nation's declining language skills. The New York Times Magazine ran William Safire's curmudgeonly "On Language" column from 1979 until his death in 2009.
There are any number of grammar sticklers online. GrammarGirl.com is a popular site with young people; baby boomers might enjoy bbhq.com/brushup.htm.
There are also countless reference books, starting with the American Heritage dictionary, with its Usage Panel of distinguished scholars. No pedant's library is complete without The Elements of Style by Strunk and White and A Dictionary of Modern English Usage by H.W. Fowler (I recommend the 1965 second edition; I'm told the 1996 third edition has made some questionable compromises).
Serious authors and journalists are never much farther from the Chicago Manual of Style or the Associated Press Stylebook than a clergyman is from his bible.
These books present a united front against ignorance, but reading them, one notices their authors don't march in lockstep—like politicians, there are conservative and liberal word nerds, and they can differ widely over what's acceptable.
Consider this sentence: It's different for men than for women. "Since the 18th century," says the American Heritage dictionary, "language critics have singled out different than as incorrect."
Although hairsplitters from both sides of the aisle endorse different from, "It's different for men from for women" obviously doesn't work. And "It's different for men from the way it is for women" is wordy and stiff. So language liberals would tend to accept different for men than for women in cases like this. The conservatives wouldn't budge. They'd most likely insist on rewriting the sentence—something like "Men and women differ" neatly sidesteps this whole puddle of mud.
It came as a surprise that some of my reference books didn't condemn different than outright. Fowler's venerated Dictionary of Modern English Usage notes that "different than is sometimes preferred by good writers to the cumbersome different from that which etc." To which Wilson Follett's Modern American Usage responds, "To condone different than because it is sometimes awkward to follow different with [from] is defeatism." "The idea that there is anything wrong with different than is a superstition," declares Roy H. Copperud in A Dictionary of Usage and Style. Theodore M. Bernstein, in The Careful Writer, fires back that if you accept different than, you are a "structural linguist permissivist." Ouch, that can't be good.
I still use these books a lot. Collectively, they've helped me become the stuffed shirt I am today.

- Not What I ExpectedSirPoochalaDined on 11/22/2014I read the good review in the NYT and other places and I expected a fine dining experience and service. The waiter was arrogant and didn't really listen. The food was good but not great and the decor was way over the top. I'm not sure that I would return.I would recommend this to a friend.
- LopezDined on 11/15/2014Awesome place great food just a nicely decorated placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very beautiful restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/15/2014Dining at The Graceful Rose was a pleasant experience. The restaurant is in a good location with beautiful views of the harbor. The dining room is very pretty. We went on a Saturday night at prime time. Our table was ready on time and the staff was courteous. As the evening went on I felt the wait staff was a little stressed, it was a full house. The support staff stepped up and helped to make sure you could get what you needed without a long wait. The food was good, and portions were more than adequate. I would not rate this as a great place for food, but overall, it is a nice place to go on a Saturday night. Prices are average for a place of this caliber. If you want a nice dinner in a beautiful dining room, with a great view, and your not counting your pennies, I recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My First Time HerePhylDined on 11/12/2014This is the first time I have been to this restaurant. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. I had scallops in a creamy lobster sauce with bits of lobster. My first bite I said to my friend, omg, this is delicious. She ordered the same and we both totally enjoyed our meal. The only downside, This restaurant is not for handicapped people. You have to climb stairs and there is no elevator. We had a window overlooking Long Island Sound. We saw the ferry come in and go out. I'm sure in the summer the view is outstanding. I will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatLIFoodGuyVIPDined on 11/8/2014Great again!! Nothing more to say then keep up the great workSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Location!FoodieDined on 11/8/2014Beautiful Restaurant...great food..good location...we went for Restaurant Week...nice selection on menu ....good vibe in bar..and great martinis for only 10.00!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Service was outstanding decor great. I would definitely come back. And all employees went out of there way to constantly ask if ""all was ok " it showed that they care about their patronsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great nightWineAndDineXoDined on 11/8/2014Very beautiful place. Great food and drinks, great atmosphere and great service. Will be dining here again. Only downfall was that it was very loud and too noisy. Not good for a quiet romantic evening with the boyfriend. I went for a nice girls night dinner and drinks and it was still just too loud. (And I'm young. I don't mind being at a loud place). I'm sure it's not always like that. Like I said I will be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant surprise!Lisa123Dined on 11/7/2014Right in my own backyard sits this lovely restaurant with wonderful views of the Long Island Sound. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent. The a la carte menu is a bit on the expensive side but a new price fixe menu was just instituted. Absolutely worth a visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not handicap accessibleDinerVIPDined on 11/6/2014To enter the restaurant one must climb a full flight of stairs. There is no elevator. Management said it's the Town or Village zoning that is preventing them from installing one. That's ridiculous and unacceptable. It makes this fine restaurant off limits to many diners, which is really a shame.Special Features:
- LovelyLunadunaDined on 11/5/2014Great food, service and view. Attentive staff without being intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful interiorhusbandandhusband20Dined on 11/4/2014this was our first time at Graceful Rose and i must say it was perfect I will recommend this restaurant to all of my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthdayLoriDined on 11/1/2014we celebrated my daughter's birthday and they gave her a small bouquet of roses. so fit for a place called the Graceful Rose! Hope they continue this lovely tradition! food was excellent though pricey. we have been before and now we are waiting for the prix fix. we went a few times last winter and it was a great deal! a great way to enjoy a local restaurant off season for a decent price!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- For my first time, it was amazingAudreyroseDined on 11/1/2014It was absolutely beautiful there and the food was amazing. Everyone there was very polite and quick to get anything when asked. Also, our waiter told us that our filet mignon would take a little long to cook. Very organized place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality Standards on the SoundMelderVIPDined on 11/1/2014Beautiful interior, spacious seating, and large windows overlooking the LI Sound, make it a great setting for an enjoyable dinner. The menu wasn't incredibly exciting, but my date & I both had delicious steaks, cooked perfectly, and the service was very good. The valet parking came in very handy in Pt. Jeff, where space is quite limited- especially on a Saturday night. I definitely plan to go back.Special Features:
- Felt SpecialLuLu614Dined on 10/28/2014As soon as we gave our name we were wished a Happy Anniversary and throughout the evening every staff member made a point to come to our table and wish us the same. The staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. At the end of the meal I was given a bouquet of three roses (one for each decade). My husband and I felt so special and the entire experience made our celebration magical.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A classy waterfront spotWiliam1Dined on 10/23/2014The Graceful Rose is a very good restaurant on the waterfront in Port Jefferson. The food & service were excellent. The restaurant gave my wife a bouquet as it was our anniversary. A very classy touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for our Anniversary!ChrisMVIPDined on 10/22/2014The ambiance was lovely, an open space and big windows over-looking Port Jefferson, but with an intimate feel nonetheless. The service, from the manager and our very attentive/friendly waiter could not have been better. The food was outstanding. The menu had a variety of selections to please almost any palate, and gluten-free options are clearly noted (important for me). My one criticism is the gluten-free options on the prix fixe menu were very limited (one app, one entree), and both required an up-charge. It is also a tad pricey in general, so a bit expensive to be a regular dining spot. But for a special occasion, we will definitely be back.Special Features:
- SpectacularOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/18/2014Our third time there and everytime there is fantastic. This is our favorite restaurant. Staff, food, music, ambiance is exceptional. My boyfriend proposed at this restaurant and it was truely amazing. The staff did such a wonderful job making that day so special for me.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerConman512Dined on 10/14/2014First time diner. Surprised my wife for our anniversary. Glad I did. Service was great and food was amazing. Hats off to our waiter Nick, the chef, and staff. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversay meal.TurtlefoodDined on 10/10/2014We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The main room is lovely with high ceilings and large windows. The service is friendly and very attentive. The waiter went out of his way to find the Campari for the drink I ordered. The food was excellent. My husband declared his "The best swordfish he ever had". The only reason for one less star is that we found the dessert menu limited. Three chocolate choices, two with peanut butter, berries, or cheesecake. Nothing that made us say, "we must try that". The service was capped off with roses for me from the waiter! He had asked if it was a special occasion!Special Features:
- Ambiance!bobaqueDined on 10/3/2014Service / food / location were excellent. Would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice experienceMathgirlDined on 9/26/2014What a nice find!!! Cozy romantic atmosphere. Food was delicious with beautiful presentation. Service was excellent. We didn't feel rushed. It was so nice to revisit this location. This site used to be called Port O'Wind many years ago. We held our daughter's christening party here 28 years ago!!! Jerry DiCecco was the chef. We are so happy that it has been finally turned back into a great quality restaurant that we will certainly revisit and recommend.Special Features:
- The best in class.service and food.WORLDTRAVELERDined on 9/23/2014This place has it all. An experience everyone should try when you want to feel special. I took my wife there for her birthday and expected them to pick up her drink or desert..No ..they gave her roses at the end of the meal. Class all the way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedLuxorDined on 9/12/2014Unimpressed - Had the surf & turf; crab appetizer. Lobster was bland.Steak was very good, but not medium rare as ordered. The crab was ok; my husband thought it was canned. The atmosphere was loud I could not hear across the table. Everyone was shouting above the music. It was a fancy bar scene. For $250 for a meal I was not impressed. No I won't return nor will I recommend. I expect more for the $$$.Special Features:
- Superb In All RespectsarubamanDined on 9/6/2014A charmingly beautiful restaurant that befits any romantic dinner venue. Roses to accent the ambiance. Truly a wonderful place to enjoy friends, family and your significant other with food quality beyond compare.Special Features:
- Great Place!CrackerpupDined on 9/6/2014We took friends here for their anniversary, neither of us had been to this restaurant previously. It was one of the best evenings we've had in a long time! Food was excellent (I was craving steak, but the scallops sounded good too. Upon waiter's recommendation, i chose the scallops which were amazing.) Service was very attentive and friendly and the view is great. Only wish we could have sat by the windows. Will definitely return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/5/2014I was at Graceful rose 8/30 and the food was very good. I ate there again 9/5 and ordered the same dish and it was flat-no flavor.
- Graceful RoseCarolDined on 8/30/2014Our dinner was superb. The ambiance is elegant, but a bit noisy. Some area rugs might help. The food was outstanding and innovative. The wait staff was excellent, there when you wanted, entertaining, and humorous. Nice features included ordering a glass of champagne and getting a split! Ordering glass of wine p, given a taste first and then getting a small carafe to pour as one liked. The overall experience was so good that we highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/23/2014Second time I've been here and it was great. The service was outstanding and the food tasted great. The restaurant is a bit pricey but as they say you get what you pay for therefore it was worth itSpecial Features:
- FerryridersDined on 8/16/2014We had a very nice evening - GREAT service (Jermain and Nick) were very friendly and attentive…. they made good recommendations on the menu… and we enjoyed our experience in Port Jeff and at this restaurant...Special Features:

Very attentive to our needs and answered all our questions knowledgeably.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful birthday dinnerGwenbabyDined on 8/8/2014This was our first time at Graceful Rose, and definately won't be our last. The food and service was amazing. The decor is beautiful. Everyone was so eager to please. It was a beautiful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent meal and serviceCTluv2travelDined on 8/8/2014We had a great time at Graceful Rose. The food and service were excellent. We dined outdoors and it was very nice. The only downside was the walk to the powder room required us to walk around the entire building and upstairs. We hear they are working on an easier route. If I were them I'd make it priority #1. The food and service made it worth the hassle but it could be a detractor for many.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 212 reviews are from the Graceful Rose reviews archive.
- all six of us loved it, all agestootsmamaDined on 7/31/2014the food is great, not one complaint from anyone (which is very unusual), the waiter was very patient yet professional and kind, we were there for my grandaughter's birthday and the restaurant gave her a bouquet as we left which definitely made points with me and i've already told all my friends about this very lovely restaurant. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE SCALLOPS AS THEY ARE DELICIOUS.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous dinnerkit110Dined on 7/26/2014This was our first experience and we were impressed all he way around. Was hoping you had a room large enough for a catered event for about 125.Special Features:
- Fabulous find. Thoroughly enjoyed .FabfindDined on 7/26/2014Met our Connecticut friends here for dinner. All agreed, it was a wonderful experience. Beautifully done. I had salmon, delicious A few people had a linguine with seafood and another had seared tuna. Not a good place for someone who is handicapped, as there is a flight of stairs, and no elevator. We stayed until we saw the ferry coming into dock and then took our friends back for their return tripSpecial Features:
- anniversary dinner well spent!pebble26Dined on 7/26/2014After reading other reviews my husband and I were skeptical but wanted to try it for ourselves. We are so glad we did! The ambiance everyone agrees was great..so pretty inside. The service was wonderful. .I even received a bouquet of roses! I ordered a filet mignon that was cooked to perfection and so tender! My husband had scallops and lobster bisque. .both he thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely go back and recommend!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Why good SEOs should look like they don't exist econsultancy.comSubmitted by chriswinfield Nov 05 2012 in SEO 1 Comment Discuss (1) |
Print We've seen a lot of changes in the SEO world over the last six months, with content marketing in particular becoming a hotter topic almost by the day. But if you really think about what a good SEO campaign should look like, it's pretty obvious that link manipulation and over-optimisation is never what Google was looking for when reviewing quality in sites.

Go Green
Save trees & save enviornment
Think Green & Live green
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ~Henry David Thoreau
There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all. ~Robert Orben
Modern technology Owes ecology An apology.
Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us.
We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.
They kill good trees to put out bad newspapers. ~James G. Watt
I am the earth. You are the earth. The Earth is dying. You and I are murderers. ~Ymber Delecto
Economic advance is not the same thing as human progress.
Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate various important occasions, they're killing living creatures? Why restrict it to plants? "Sweetheart, let's make up. Have this deceased squirrel."
Take care of the earth and she will take care of you.
We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.
Every day is Earth Day.
Man maketh a death which Nature never made.
Waste is a tax on the whole people.
When the soil disappears, the soul disappears.
In an underdeveloped country, don't drink the water; in a developed country, don't breathe the air.

text: Carney: No Proof Al Qaeda Tied To Benghazi Prior To Sept. 16 Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 12 May 2013 post a comment More: Benghazi Talking to reporters on May 10, White House spokesman Jay Carney said there was no substantive evidence Al Qaeda was tied to the Benghazi attacks before U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on Sunday talk shows on Sept. 16. Yet Acting Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Beth Jones sent an email on Sept 12--the day after the attacks--in which she indicated that "the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists." Also, 48 hours after the attacks had taken place, "the U.S. government had multiple streams of intelligence indicating that Ansar al Sharia was involved." And "the CIA station chief in Libya cabled back to Washington late on September 12 and reported that eye witnesses said militants with ties to Al Qaeda were involved in the attack."

Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
If your primary concern is abnormal bleeding, you may be a candidate for a procedure called a
dilation and curettage
. The cervix is dilated wide enough to introduce a curved blade that scrapes out the lining of the uterus. The entire procedure takes about ten minutes and can be done under local anesthesia. The two main reasons for the procedure are:
Rare complications include:
Endometrial Biopsy
endometrial biopsy
is done to obtain a sample of tissue for examination under a microscope. During this procedure, a small sample of endometrial tissue is flushed out through your cervix. The procedure can be done in several different ways. The tissue can be flushed out by squirting sterile liquid into your uterus or by inserting a thin instrument to take tiny samples. The discomfort is usually thought to be slightly more than that felt during a regular pelvic exam.
