Though often downplayed because of its proximity to Christmas, Thanksgiving can be a very special holiday. As someone who lived abroad for several years and could not often make it home for Thanksgiving, I especially cherish this uniquely American holiday. Because I am a craft editor who loves Thanksgiving, I've been gathering the best Thankgiving decorations to make this holiday.
Thanksgiving is a time when we get together with family and friends, share a giant meal and remember what is really important in life. By sharing food and words of gratitude with one another, we remind ourselves to be thankful and cherish the good stuff each and every day. With that in mind, let's decorate for Thanksgiving with the same enthusiasm that we devote to the other end-of-year holidays.
Here are my recommendations for the best thanksgiving decorations to make:
Pilgrims and Native Americans- Too often, we do not remember the original story of Thanksgiving nor why do we celebrate Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation in 1565 brought together the pilgrims and Native Americans in a three-day feast. The feast gave thanks to God and the Native Americans who helped the pilgrims harvest food in their new land.
With such a wonderful story behind Thanksgiving, honor these Pilgrims and Native Americans with decorations in that theme. Create a Pilgrim and Indian Set by painting papier-mache box shapes or a Wobbly Pilgrim with foam shapes and felt. Pilgrims and Indians can also be made from toilet paper tubes, clay pots and other household materials.
Doing pilgrim and Indians crafts with kids is a great way to teach them about American history. For an easy craft, use construction paper to create Indian headbands. Measure around the kids' heads and cut out a band of construction paper to fit snuggly. Cut out feathers from orange and red construction paper and glue to the band. Staple the ends of the headband together.
Paper Words- Decorating with words such as "Give Thanks" or "Be Thankful" can be done in a fun and understated way. Create "Give Thanks" place cards for your Thanksgiving table with cardstock and stamps. Thanksgiving place cards will welcome your guests to the table and can be taken home as favors. You can hang larger "Give Thanks" tags from the backs of chairs too. Stencil "Be Thankful" onto a wood sign and add paper embellishments such as leaves, acorns, birds or pumpkins.
Cornucopia- A cornucopia is the classic symbol of plenty, dating back to Ancient Greece. You could certainly buy a cornucopia basket at the craft store, but why not make your own? You will need chicken wire or other wire netting, aluminum foil, burlap and a glue mixture (2 parts glue to one part water). This craft is similar to papier-mache. Shape the wire into a cone shape and twist upward at the end to resemble a cornucopia. Cover the wire form with foil. Then, cut the burlap into strips. Dip each of the burlap strips into the glue, remove excess glue with your fingers and place on your foil form. Repeat until the foil is completely covered with burlap. Let dry overnight and then carefully cut out the wire and foil from the form. Voila!

LOS ANGELES – They say that bases-empty home runs will not beat you. That, of course, depends on how many.
TCU had already had bashed two at UCLA on Friday night, while the cars were still locked up on the nearby 405 and before the deceptive chill of the evening had settled in.
Now Jerrick Suiter of the Horned Frogs launched another loud one in the sixth inning, threatening to extend their 2-1 lead in Game 1 of the NCAA super regional.
Atmospherics and athletics kept it in, however, with left fielder Cody Keefer going to the wall.
"We've got the best outfielders in the country," said UCLA pitcher Adam Plutko, who doesn't intend to make them prove it so often.
In the bottom of the sixth, Cody Regis proved something else. He lashed a three-run double to left-center, UCLA scored five times, and now the Bruins can return to the College World Series with a victory Saturday night.
"Regis wore us out in Omaha two years ago," TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said, "and he did it again tonight."
The 6-2 victory was the Bruins' 46th in 60 games. Nick Vander Tuig, who has won five consecutive decisions and gave New Mexico one hit in eight innings last weekend, tries to print the boarding passes tonight.
Two years ago, UCLA and TCU met three times in the CWS and weren't exactly BFFs. The Bruins finally ridded themselves of the Horned Frogs, but not before Matt Purke, with an off-center baseball cap and Harry Potter glasses, shut them down and forced that third meeting.
Plutko was still in high school then, at Glendora High. Regis had played there the year before.
"Cody hit a home run to clinch the super regional and then he hit another in Omaha," Plutko said, "and my dad and I were watching on TV and he said, 'We're going.'"
And just like that the Plutkos were at the final CWS in Rosenblatt Stadium.
The Bruins lost the championship round to South Carolina. With pitchers Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer coming back in 2011, they reasonably thought they could add Omaha to their regularly scheduled program. They couldn't, as UC Irvine knocked UCLA out of its own regional at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
That UCLA team might as well have taken persimmon woods to the plate. It hit .263 for the season with 17 home runs. This UCLA team, without the first-round wattage, has put together a .312 team average with 23 home runs.
Regis wasn't always part of that revival.

Dollar Rises On Strong US Jobs Data
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ The dollar jumped to a one-month high against the euro Friday after U.S. employers added more jobs last month than economists had expected.
The Labor Department said U.S. employers added 171,000 jobs in October, and hiring was stronger in August and September than first thought. Economists expected a gain of 121,000 jobs, according to FactSet. The unemployment rate edged up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent as more people started looking for jobs.
The euro fell to $1.2829 in late trading Friday from $1.2939 late Thursday. The euro fell as low as $1.282 Friday, the lowest it has been since Oct. 1.
The British pound fell to $1.6021 from $1.6125.The dollar rose to 80.42 Japanese yen from 80.18 Japanese yen and to 0.9411 Swiss franc from 0.9321 Swiss franc. Canada also released a jobs report Friday, and said that employees in the country added just 1,800 jobs last month. The dollar fell to 99.56 Canadian cents from 99.62 Canadian cents.

Is there a difference between reduction and lip shaping? NOT IN MY OPINION UNLESS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SHAPING A SMALL LIP TO BE BIGGER. YOU CAN REDUCE IT AND TRIM THE LIP IN A WAY THAT SHAPES IT OR YOU CAN AUGMENT IT AND MAKE IT BIGGER IN A SELECTIVE WAY TO MAKE IT SHAPED BETTER TOO. I have seen some surgeries where they transform the big shapeless upper lip into a nicer shape with curves and all.
also, the area above my lips is very "thick" (philtrum and around it) , will reducing the lip reduce that as well? NO, YOU CAN'T SHAPE THE WHITE LIP. I've heard some places saying lip reduction is removing the tissue , while some say its rolling it inwards, which is true? THE SECOND IS FALSE. THIS IS PERSONALLY WHY I BELIEVE THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH LIP REDUCTIONS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE TRY TO PULL THE DRY LIP INSIDE AND THAT LEADS TO DYSFUNCTION. I HAVE INVENTED A WAY TO REDUCE THE PROPORTIONAL DEGREE OF DRY AND WET LIP EXCESS TO PRESERVE FUNCTION.
What do you think about 2 jaw surgery? should I avoid it at all costs? I'm not really sure whether to extend the nose and chin as opposed to two jaw as it seems like it might bring out the horizontal length of the face a whole lot. I CANNOT SPEAK ON THIS. IF YOU NEED OR WANT BONY SURGERY, YOU NEED TO TALK TO A MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON.
Finally, what will happen to the implants as I age/exercise (lowering body fat percentage) ? Might it jut out unnaturally as i lose facial fat? (in other words is such an implant only for my current look?) CHIN IMPLANTS ALMOST NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT CHEEK IMPLANTS DO. IF IT HAPPENS, THEN A LITTLE INJECTABLE FILLER COULD CAMOUFLAGE IT BUT I REALLY CAN'T IMAGINE IT TO BE AN ISSUE.

|SIERPC: Mazowieckie
Alternate names: Sierpc [Pol], Sheps, שערפּץ [Yid], Sherpts [Yid], Serptz, Серпц [Rus], Scherps, Serepets, Serpec, Shepsk, Sherptz. 52°53' N, 19°40' E, 23 miles N of Płock (Plotsk), 16 miles SE of Rypin. 1900 Jewish population: 2,935. Yizkors: Kehilat Sierpc; sefer zikaron (Tel Aviv, 1959). Khurbn Sierpc 1939-1945; zikhroynes fun di ibergeblibene landslayt vos gefinen zikh in der Amerikaner Zone in Daytshland (Munich, 1949). Zaml-bukh fun Sherptser sheyres ha-khurbn, 1939-1945 (Germany, 1948). The first documentation of Jews in Sierpc was in 1739. Jews performed small-scale trade and handicrafts in a poor economic situation necessitating financial assistance provided by relatives from America. The Jews in the markets in Sierpc merchants came from distant cities like Lviv and Prague. In 1800, the 649 Jews made up 67% of all residents growing steadily to a peak of 2,935 (42%) around 1897. Immigration decreased the number in 1938 to only 307 (30.5%). 75% of these Jews were sent to the ghetto in Nowy Dwór and from there to Warsaw leaving about 500 in Sierpc for slave labor in the Sierpc ghetto established in the spring of 1940 between the streets Kasztelańską, Górną, and Kilińskiego. Living conditions were terrible. Ghetto liquidation was in January 1942 with some murdered here and others deported to Strzegów and then to Auschwitz and Treblinka. The Nazis destroyed the local synagogue and Jewish cemetery, located on ul. Władysława Jagiełły.
CEMETERY: Founded in the first half of the 19th century, the 0.2-ha cemetery was vandalized by the Germans during WWII, who used the gravestones for curbing and pavement. Nearly 170 gravestones, the oldest dating from 1850, found by survivor Lejb Gongola are sandstone and other materials. Carved decorations are visible with inscriptions in Hebrew and Polish. A 1928 wooden beit tahara is a unique monument. On its walls Hebrew inscriptions still survive. Gravestones recovered from paving slabs were cut, transported, and reset in the cemetery. Local authorities maintain the Holocaust monument memorializing the Jews of Sierpc with fragments recovered around 1970-1972. Descendants fenced of cemetery in 1998-1999 and rededicated the site on September 1, 1999 with a ceremony attended by representatives of local authorities and Jewish institutions, among other things: the aforementioned Rabbi E. Schlesinger, Jonah Booksterin - Director Lauder Foundation in Poland, and Michal Semęt of the Jewish community. Video. Photos. Jewish history. [July 2009]
Normal 0
US Commission No. POCE000626
The town is in the Plockie region at 52º5119º39, 35 km from Plock. The cemetery is located at ulica Jagielly. Present population is 5,000-25,000 with no Jews.
The earliest known Jewish community is about 1734. 1921 Jewish population was 2,861. The Jewish cemetery was established probably in the 1st half of the 18th century with last known Orthodox or Conservative Jewish burial between 1939 and 1945. Landmark: Register of Jewish Cemeteries of 1981. The suburban hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is entirely closed with a continuous fence with a locking gate. Before WWII the cemetery was about 1.5 ha and is now .16 ha. 100-500 gravestones in the cemetery, with about 1-20 in original locations and less than 25% toppled or broken, date from about 1850-20th centuries. The sandstone or "lastrico" flat stones with carved relief decoration or multi-stone monuments have Hebrew, Yiddish, and Polish inscriptions. There is a special memorial monument to Holocaust victims but no known mass graves. The municipality owns property used for Jewish cemetery and agriculture. Properties adjacent are agricultural and residential. Compared to 1939, agriculture reduced the cemetery boundaries. Occasionally, private visitors and local residents stop. During World War II, the cemetery was vandalized. Around 1990, local authorites re-erected stones, cleared vegetation, and fixed wall and gate. Occasionally, now, authorities clear. No structures. Vandalism is a slight threat.
Pawel Fijalkowski, 96-500, Sochaczew, Ulica Ziemowita 11, tel. 227-91 completed survey November 10, 1991, with a vist in September 1990 and documentation from Wlasne Archiwum Fotograficzne.

This review is from: SAPPHIRE 100364TXSR Radeon R9 270X 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: This card is ideal for a build I am starting. A mining rig with style, no milk crate for me!
Its a very appealing card, and it runs cool. The fans are hardly noticeable until you get past 50%.
I have this card mining in my garage at a nice and cool 50C at 50% fan.
Comes with a custom backplate, actually a very nice one. So take $30 off the price for that. This is a trend I would like to see more of with higher end video cards.
Believe me, the backplate makes a difference in temps.
Cons: Price and availability, I could have picked a more readily available card and modded it. This is why I did not purchase at the egg, has not been in stock for quite some time.
In terms of performance alone, it is a bit overpriced.
Length- it is easily over 12 inches long. Not a problem for me but just be aware. The fan/heatsink adds a couple of inches to the board.
Other Thoughts: I am currently mining with this card at 460kH/s. Efforts to push higher have been unsuccessful but I have not tried any BIOS mods.
I can mine at Intensity of 17, any higher results in hardware errors.
But as a gaming card, it is superior to my HD 6950's. One of which I BIOS modded to HD 6970, that card mines at 480-490 kH/s all day.
For mining I would look at much less expensive cards to acheive the same results.
This review is from: AMD A6-3670K Unlocked Llano Quad-Core 2.7GHz Socket FM1 100W Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6530D AD3670WNGXBOX
Pros: The price is a big selling point of course, but until you buy one you'll have no idea just what a great deal this is.
I just finished a client build with an A75 motherboard, and I couldn't be more pleased.
Last night I fired up Skyrim with the pc on a 24 inch monitor, 1080p. The game originally detected my hardware and set the graphics settings to HIGH. The game intro was a little choppy, so I dropped the settings detail to medium. After that it was like butter.
Cons: There is only one con I've encountered. It appears there is no analog video. I have been unsuccessful at using a DVI to VGA converter to get analog video.
I am going under the assumption that since the video is on die that there are no analog components on the APU. Also the motherboard does not have a northbridge, so I believe there is no analog video available. I could be all wet, but I haven't seen any documentation either way.
This could be limited to my motherboard, but my understanding is that all A75 motherboard are without a northbridge which traditionally has handled the duties of integrated video.
The CPU temp has been running a bit higher than I expected using a low cost liquid cooler, 40-50C although I did see an idle temp today of 35C.
Other Thoughts: I spent quite a bit of time testing this computer, over a month and it really performed well above my expectations. I can't say enough nice things about this, but I will say that I was very impressed with the gaming performance and overall system responsiveness. I played a number of A list titles, including Portal, Skyrim, Mass Effect, and Dirt 3. No, you can't max out Crysis 3, but did you really expect to for under a hunnerd bux?
I am a gamer, modder and enthusiast and have been building systems for over 15 years.
Here's the specs:
AMD A6-3670k APU
Sapphire A 75 Pure Platinum mobo
Antec 620 Kuhler
Antec 380W green power
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Avexir memory
This review is from: ASRock Z77 OC Formula LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This is a fantastic looking motherboard and it fit perfectly with my latest build. I loved the water cooling option for the VRMs and chips around the socket and the color scheme is great.
Gotta love the voltage test points and the attention to detail for overclockers.
It seemed like the perfect match for my mod..
Cons: Unfortunately I was not aware of the PCI express limitations of the Z77 chipset. So just to warn users interested in multiple graphics setups, this chipset would be fine to run 2 cards (8X/8X) but any other devices will have to share bandwidth.
The big problem however was with the waterblock. I had a leak that I couldn't pinpoint, I finally found that one of the joints on the waterpipe was not completely soldered. This leak soaked my motherboard, of course it has not been energized yet. I have cleaned all components with alcohol, but I am still nervous about firing it up.
I would RMA but I am under the gun to finish this mod quickly and don't have 6-8 weeks to wait for a replacement. This leaves me in a bad spot, so I am not happy considering this board costs as much as a month in groceries.
I am attempting to fix the faulty solder joint, although I am sure this will void the warranty.
Other Thoughts: Ya know, I think this is the last time I will pay over $200 for a motherboard. The last one was $240 (a Crosshair I) and it was defective as well.
I'm assuming that this is not a problem in general for these boards, but still if you are interested in the water cooling it provides you may wish to look elsewhere.

Cops Corner
Date: October 22, 2009
by: Compiled by the Observer Staff
Oct. 8
Unfurnished apartment for rent
12:01 a.m. — 2700 block of Cocoanut Bay Lane. Theft. An apartment owner was evicting a tenant because she didn't pay her rent. The tenant told the owner that she would be moving out and was having a friend help move her stuff. What the owner didn't know is that the two were also taking the owner's stuff. Several pieces of furniture were missing. The owner thinks the tenant took the items to furnish her new place.
Oct. 9
Don't call us …
12:43 p.m. — 400 block of John Ringling Boulevard. Petit Theft. A woman picked out a pair of shorts on a hanger to try on in a dressing room, and she also took a pair of shorts into a corner of the store and shoved them in her purse. The woman went into the dressing room and came out with a used pair of shorts on the hanger and gave them to a store employee. She then headed toward the exit, but before she walked out the door, she asked for a job application and filled it out. The woman was told to come back a few days later for an interview. She did. But store employees invited someone else to be there for the interview — a police officer. The woman was arrested.
Oct. 11
Cold shoulder
9:30 a.m. — 200 block of Lime Avenue. Suspicious Person. A store employee called police to report a man standing outside watching the store, wearing winter clothes. That may not have been all that suspicious this past Monday, but on the day this happened it was 92 degrees.
Oct. 12
Nudist retreat
1:51 a.m. — 6700 block of Sarasea Circle. Disorderly Conduct. A woman staying at a motel went to do her laundry in the community laundry room. She walked in the room and saw a naked man lying on his back on the floor. She called 911, and when a sheriff's deputy arrived, the man was still there, still on the floor, still naked. He was not a guest at the motel. The manager said he had been loitering on the property for the past week and had been harassing customers.
Siren song
9:32 p.m. — Bayfront Park. General Suspicion. A woman on a houseboat told police she heard a woman crying and asking for help. She said the voice was coming from a direction where there were no boats and feared the woman might be in the water. The woman's husband searched the water, but didn't find anything. Rescue workers also searched, but again there was no sign of a woman in the water. The woman said she didn't hear the voice anymore.
Oct. 14
Card shark
Midnight — 1900 Marcia Street. Petit Theft. A woman reported someone had stolen her library card. She may not have noticed the theft, but she received a $124 fine from the library for an unreturned movie that she never borrowed.

10 Common DIY Mistakesand How to Fix Them Fast
Repair any home project slip-up with these expert tips
By Arricca Elin SanSone
3. Theres a paint blob, run or drip.
If the blob is still wet, blot it with a rag and touch up the surface with fresh paint, if necessary, suggests Marks. If it's dry, hold a plastic putty knife at an angle and peel off the drip, being careful not to gouge the surface. No dice? Use very fine 400 grit sandpaper to buff the area flat. Paint the section, let it dry and then add another coat.
Next time: Use a paint grid or screen on top of your bucket to allow excess paint to drip off your roller before use. Also, double-check your work so you can smooth drips with a brush before they dry.

August 2012: Big Jumps Edition
If you want evidence that the economy is on the mend, look no further than the string of positive monthly sales reports coming from the auto industry this year. August continues the trend with the vast majority of brands and companies reporting improved sales numbers compared to the same month last year, Volkswagen (+62.54 percent), Honda (+57.88 percent) and Toyota (+47.5 percent) leading the way for major manufacturers.
Honda and Toyota's big gains are easy to explain. Just repeat the line we've been using all summer about these two Japanese giants enjoying the fruits of restored production capacity following last year's onslaught of natural disasters in their home region. Volkswagen's big jump, however, is harder to explain, and looks to be consolidated mostly in the Passat model line where sales jumped from just 314 last August (before the midsize sedan was redesigned) to 10,090 last month. Smaller sales gains from the Golf, Jetta, Beetle, Tiguan and Touareg also contributed.
Another individual model that jumped out at us while compiling the numbers is the Ford Escape. The all-new 2013 Escape is a big departure in both style and content compared to the last generation, which sold very well even into its waning months. We've been curious to know if consumers would embrace the new Escape's slicker shape and higher price. The answer is a resounding yes based on last month's sales of the new model, which totaled 28,188 units, a 36.8-percent improvement compared to last August and a number high enough to make the new Escape one of the industry's best selling models overall last month.
Check out how the entire auto industry did in the monthly sales chart below, and visit our By the Numbers section to see all past months.
*Brands and companies are displayed in descending order according to their percentage change in volume sales. There were 27 selling days in August 2012 versus 26 selling days in August 2011, so the change in monthly sales volume will be different than the change in average daily sales rate (DSR) for each brand/company. Also, brands are combined and reported as companies only if their sales figures are released jointly.

IOS CCENT Simulator 2.0.2
Study assistant
The utility was developed to function as a supplement to CCNA Routing and Switching Study Guide: Exams 100-101, 200-101, and 200-120 by Todd Lammle, assisting you in testing out the commands exemplified in the manual.
As such, it is advisable that you work with the book and IOS CCENT Simulator in parallel, in order to get the most out of each one, as using just the latter will not serve you that much.
Straight-forward user interface
The interface of IOS CCENT Simulator attempts to recreate the environment of a network router or switch, enabling you to get the feel of what it means to work with such a device.
The lower edge of the screen features several menus that allow you to configure the emulator, letting you select the 'Book', 'Chapter' and 'Lab' that you intend to use.
Simulating routers and switches
IOS CCENT Simulator is meant to complement three different books, namely 'CCENT', 'ICND2' and 'CCNA R/S', each one comprising different chapters ranging from 1 to 21, tackling distinct topics.
Afterward, the program enables you to work with a switch or a router, and depending on the chosen 'Chapter', you will be presented with a visual representation of the 'Lab', allowing you to figure out the position and connections between the network devices ('Topology').
Subsequent to opting for a 'Lab', you can access its various components and run several commands from CCNA Routing and Switching Study Guide, in order to analyze the way they work and learn how to use them correctly.
Efficient study tool
To conclude, IOS CCENT Simulator is a handy and reliable application that can assist you in learning the proper commands for network devices, for your Cisco certification, using CCNA Routing and Switching Study Guide as theoretical material.

Start of this summer was just great. I got this brilliant idea to use this heat wave and seduce loads of pretty girls. I went in front of one popular pub and invited girls and women for a drink FOR FREE! As you know, when you are offered something for free, it's very hard to refuse, especially when it's a good drink. Surprisingly, the first girl told me to fuck off. But I didn't have to wait long for the big catch. Pretty, busty young lady called Romana was happy for my invitation for a drink. When I saw she's getting slightly drunk, I started my cunning attack and showed her all the money she could get for letting me visit inside of her panties. I cannot describe how surprised I was when she refused the money and just let me to fuck her in nearby park. That horny she was. I still cannot believe that. Check this out and see for yourself. Thing like this happened for the first time in history of Czech streets and I'm glad not all Czech girls are gold-diggers. Enjoy the summer and look forward to our next video.

The Czech lower house of parliament approved legislation allowing direct elections of the president, who selects policy makers and appoints prime ministers.
The bill must now be approved in the upper house of parliament, the Senate, to become valid. The opposition Social Democrats, who control the upper house, didn't muster enough votes today to push though a change that would require Senate approval of central bank board members. Currently, the president is elected in a vote by both houses of parliament.
The president doesn't hold executive powers, although he selects the political leader who attempts to form a government after general elections. The president may also influence monetary policy as the position holds the sole right to name members of the central bank's rate-setting board.
The second term of President Vaclav Klaus, who delayed signing the European Union's Lisbon Treaty in 2009 and has opposed a rush into the euro area, will end in 2013 and the current law forbids him to seek the post again.

Turkish PM urges protesters to leave Gezi Park
ANKARA, Turkey Turkey's prime minister on Friday urged a small delegation of protesters to persuade hundreds of others occupying an Istanbul park to withdraw.
Turkish activists leading a sit-in were considering a promise by Recep Tayyip Erdogan to let the courts and a potential referendum decide the fate of the much-despised Gezi Park redevelopment project - a plan that has sparked Turkey's biggest protests in decades. The pledge was made during last-ditch negotiations after Erdogan had issued what he called a "final warning" to protesters.
The two-week standoff has damaged Erdogan's international reputation and led to repeated interventions by riot police. After initially inflaming tensions by dubbing the protesters "terrorists," the prime minister has moderated his stance in closed-door talks in the last few days.
But Erdogan told party members Friday that the protesters in the park had "stayed long enough."
"'Go and speak to them ... Don't let us be forced into reverting to different measures,'" Erdogan said he had told the protesters' representatives.
Earlier in the day, Erdogan's ruling party announced that the government would suspend its plan to cut down trees in Gezi Park and install a replica Ottoman barracks until the courts could rule on its legality. And even if the courts sided with the government, a city referendum would be held to determine the plan's fate, officials said.
It remained far from clear, however, whether the overtures would work.
Erdogan has pledged to end the two-week protest but has also urged his supporters to rally in Ankara and Istanbul this weekend. Those demonstrations could raise tension between his conservative, Islamic base and the people occupying the park who are mostly - but not all - liberal- and secular-minded.
As night fell Friday, a festive mood pervaded the park, and the crowd of thousands swelled. Many sang songs or snapped photos of makeshift barricades erected by protesters.
The Taksim Solidarity group, two of whose members were in the meeting with Erdogan, has emerged as the most high-profile from the occupation that began last month. But it does not speak for all of the hundreds camping in the park, many of whom claim no affiliation to any group.
Bilge Seckin, a member of the umbrella group, said discussions in the park about Erdogan's initiative were continuing, but she sensed "the general feeling is that the people's requests were not addressed" during the talks with the prime minister.
"For instance on the police violence, there were requests that senior officials responsible be removed from duty," she said, referring to the protesters demands. "They (authorities) are saying that police officers are being investigated - which is not very satisfactory."
It was not clear when, or if, the protest groups would make a formal response to Erdogan's initiative.
Many protesters were still seething at how a peaceful protest has been sometimes overtaken as riot police clashed with groups of stone- and firebomb-throwing youths. Such scenes prompted the European Parliament to condemn the heavy-handed response by Turkish police.

DENVER A Charlotte man was arrested Thursday night after complaints of possible drug activity brought investigators to Fay Jones Road, officials said.
Marvin Antonio Cathey, 39, has been charged with a number of drug and firearm offenses, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
Narcotics officers responded to a Fay Jones Road residence after receiving complaints from the community, the Sheriff's Office said.
During a search of the residence, officials said they seized nearly a half pound of marijuana, a handgun and 12-gauge shotgun, as well as drug paraphernalia.
The handgun, a Springfield Armory .357 semi-automatic, had reportedly been stolen from a home in the 2500 block of Fay Jones Road, according to officials.
Cathey, who gave officials a Charlotte address, has been charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a stolen firearm and felony possession of marijuana, the Sheriff's Office said.
Cathey was released from the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under a $20,000 secured bond.

Introducing myself and my journal
About Me:
I am trying to be an environmental activist. It is difficult, because I have never been politically active before and I don't know what I am doing. But after graduating from high school in 1997 I wasted many years being quiet, and now I can't sit back and be quiet anymore. I've gone back to college to study biology and plan to keep studying until I am qualified to do good work. While I'm in college, I want to be accomplishing something to help the earth, so together with a friend and a great professor I started an environmental club for the students there, hoping that it will become a forum for students to learn how to become part of the political process in order to change the destructive envionmental policies that exist today. I'll need lots of advice and help, because, like I said, I know nothing about any of these things myself! But you have to start somewhere right? I believe that women especially need to fight for the earth - our feminine power is so closely tied to the powers of the earth, and we have a special relationship with it. The suppression of women, I believe, has contributed greatly to the destruction of earth's systems, and after thousands of years of being beaten down and silenced, we need to speak up and join together, and add our strength to that of the earth, and fight for our right to flourish - we and the earth.
My Passions:
keeping the soil fresh and healthy, the trees plentiful
My Challenges:
balancing family and passion - family and avocation
My Vision for the Future:
an end to global warming
My Areas of Expertise:
still developing

During the holidays, most Californians are focused on their homes. This is the time when homeowners – and renters too – are decorating and extending hospitality to friends and neighbors. But heavy taxes and fees imposed on homes by the Grinches in government make it hard for Californians to hang on to their homes .
Homeowners, who work hard to pay for and maintain a house, pay property taxes that often do not fund property related services. These revenues go into local government coffers and can be spent for any purpose. To pay for services to property, like sewer, water and refuse collection, the homeowner pays extra through fees, assessments and other charges added to the property tax bill. Additionally, homeowners throughout California are also hit hard with bonds. Virtually all bonds for schools that must be repaid by property owners pass due to Proposition 39 that reduced the two-thirds voter approval requirement to 55 percent.
Even now, there are lawmaker Scrooges in Sacramento who want to make it even easier to load up your property tax bill even more. They argue that because of Proposition 13's low property tax rate, they should be allowed… Read More

I really like this product! I love how it doesn't use an aerosol pump so its better for our environment ;)
It smells amazing! Like a fresh floral-fruit explosion. But it isn't an overpowering smell
It holds hair fairly well in place too
Great product!

Want your hair to stay in place all day? You need to buy this product like yesterday. I have been using Aussie products for a long time and never tried their hairspray. I picked this up one day when I ran out of my usual hairspray and thought I'd give it a shot. I wear my hair up in a sock bun almost every day at work (I work with kids and lice are often plentiful) and I spray my bun with hairspray so it will stay in place. My old hairspray worked for half of the day but this works until I go to bed. I have my sock bun in for 16 hours and it doesn't budge with this product!! I also find it amazing for spraying down my baby hairs and frizz (I just spray and quickly use a comb or old toothbrush) and it keeps them down all day!
As for loose curls (wearing my hair down) I don't like using this product. Its just a personal preference - I like my curls to be soft and flexible and I have a hairpsray that I use for that type of hairstyle. The freeze spray definitely keeps the curl in for longer but the curls are stiff and sticky. I would use freeze spray on any type of curly updo that I needed to keep in all day though!
The downside to this product is getting it out. Makes my hair clump into a big ball and its extremely sticky. I comb it very lightly using a wide tooth comb and let my conditioner get out the rest when I wash my hair. Don't force this stuff or you will pull your hair out!
This product is cheap at $3 a can and it lasts me a good long while (even using it almost every day!). I would recommend this if you're looking for a good hold hairspray for a great price (I know some salon sprays can get pricey). It smells amazing too and I love the matte finish of the can!!

Not sure how I overlooked this for so long. This is a great freeze spray. It holds the style in my straight, fine hair all day. I spray this at the roots before I dry my hair, and then style with the dryer. When I've combed my hair into place I spray again, and my hair doesn't budge. The trick to using this is to hold the can at least a foot away from your head. If you hold it too close you're going to get a crunchy, streaky mess. Move the can quickly over your style. If you spray in one place too long you are going to get a crunchy mess too. I don't have good results when I use this with backcombing. It's too heavy for it, so I use a lighter spray to hold my backcombing. Used properly, this is a dream come true for fine hair.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Oily, Fair, Neutral Hair: Red, Straight, Medium Eyes: Blue
First off this is for the MAXIMUM HOLD HAIR SPRAY. Not the regular Instant Freeze (Extreme Hold). The one I'm talking about it the one with a spray bottle packaging, not the classic hair spray bottle.
I agree so much with the previous reviewer, a ''Look but don't touch'' kind of hairspray. This DOES make your hair crunchy which i do dislike a little but the hold is amazing. This makes curls hold extremely well. After about 3 hours my curls fall flat (I obviously mean I curl my hair) but with this hair spray my curls lasted a good 10 hours (After that I put my hair up so I can't comment after that).
Now, the dreadful part. The packaging. Gosh this is HORRIBLE. Like I said before the one I purchased this in a spray bottle packaging and the nozzel SUCKS. So i thought it might just be a first time thing, the spray comes out in a thin stream that literally goes across the room if my hand isn't in back of my hair to stop the spray. I thought if I added some water (I would have to spill out and waste some product because this occured numerous times) to thin the formula/liquid. Nothing different. I heard bad things about Aussie's packaging but thought maybe some people just got a bad batch. I never write 3 paragraph reviews (Sometimes not even 3 sentences!) & I hate writing long reviews but my point had to get across. *Sigh*. I might give Aussie's Instant Freeze Extreme but Aussie's Instand Freeze Maximum is just a no on a repurchase. It's a shame because I'd repurchase if the packaging wasn't so awful (Maybe the formula just needs to be thinned out?)

This hairspray is for the "you can look but don't touch" hair. It will honestly lock your hair into place. It is tough like glue, and deff not the type of product that will make your hair soft and touchable. its one of those rock hard hairsprays, but it really does work. It'll freeze your hair right into place and defy gravity. The only con about it (and reason I only rated it 4 stars) is that at the end of the day, if you try to run a brush through your hair, it'll be like trying to brush hair thats covered in glue. It knots my hair pretty badly after awhile. But I will purchase this product again because if I ever need to go to a photoshoot, or to class and want to look my absolute best in the rain, humidity, any weather, I know for a fact this hairspray is reliable and will not budge. It'll totally preserve your hair like its art and its inexpensive too.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine Eyes: Blue
I work as a waitress, and I have long, fine hair that needs to be put up for work. I bought this because my hair is so long and thin that it doesn't stay put for 4-8 hours of running around on the job, and I was sick of having to go into the bathroom every hour to redo my bun or add extra bobby pins.
Anyway, I'm definitely glad I picked this up! Less than a minute after spraying, your hair is frozen in place. And I really mean frozen. Wind, rain, and hours of serving can't make my hair budge! It used to take about 20 bobby pins (sometimes even more!) just to hold my simple messy bun in place. With this, I don't need any bobby pins, or any other product for that matter. I can just spray and go!
The price is amazing. I like Bed Head's Hard Head hairspray, but as a poor college student, I don't always have $16 to shell out on a hair product. This cost me $3.50, and the bottle lasted me about 5 months. Can't beat that! Also, the smell isn't that of your typical hairspray. It's a little bit fruity and not nearly as strong or offensive as others, which I love.
As others have stated, it does leave your hair crunchy and allows for no movement, but that's the point! I never had an issue brushing this out, though. On days when I used a little much and my hair was tangled after taking out my bun, I just sprayed a little bit of a children's detangling spray into my hair and the brushed the hairspray right out with no tangles.
Definitely try this out if you have thin hair that won't stay up -- you'll love it!

Well, when i first bought this hairspray, it bought it because 1) It was on sale for 1.99 and 2) it was a huge can.
But when I started to use this hairspray, I found that my hair was crunchy, stiff, and tangled. My bangs looked sick- they stayed all day! But my hair appeared greasy and looked like it was going to break off. I would only use this hairspray if you seriously tease the crap out of your hair.
Stays all day, nice price- But makes you hair crunchy and untouchable!
