Hublot and Manchester United celebrate Christmas in London
FermerUnited stars visited the Hublot boutique on New Bond Street to "assist" the sales team and welcome clients
10% of all December sales at the London boutique will go to the Manchester United Foundation
Today, Hublot hosted an exclusive event at the Hublot boutique at 31 New Bond Street, London. Three of the greatest names in English football, Manchester United players Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck, came to the boutique to "assist' the sales team and welcome Hublot clients.
For those customers who had been eyeing their favourite Hublot timepiece, this was the perfect opportunity to make a difference!
The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation, with Hublot committing to donate 10% of its December sales at the boutique to the Manchester United Foundation.
The atmosphere was laid-back and intimate. The very exclusive cocktail party was attended by around 50 VIP guests invited by Hublot, TimeProducts (Hublot's exclusive long-term partner agent in the UK) and members of the Manchester United squad. Each player shared their personal experience of Hublot with guests – the brand itself, the watches, and Hublot's philosophy of "sharing the love" in support of charity. They also shared their views on their love of football and Manchester United. The players signed Manchester United jerseys emblazoned with "Hublot" and the number "10," offered to clients with their new Hublot watch.
The relationship between Manchester United and Hublot began in 2008 when Hublot became the "Official Timekeeper of Manchester United.". To celebrate this partnership, Hublot designed the Red Devil Bang. Since then, they have worked closely together throughout the world to raise awareness of the Manchester United Foundation which aims to educate, motivate and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and their communities.

Sweetheart Neckline Linen Romper
Very Sexy
I brought this in a small I am 5 6 and I wear 135lbs this is a very sexy romper and it fits me perfectly. I do recommend this and I love the green color very nice
April 20, 2013
Sexy green romper!
I purchased this in size 6, deep green. I read before from other reviews that the linen material makes the romper feel rough and not feel good on. I can say that I did not find that to be the case. The material can move easily, and the color is vibrant and beautiful. The chest area however, is a bit snug because of the material, as there is not a lot of stretch. With that said, busty women like myself should take note. It was a bit tight, but was too beautiful overall, so I decided to keep it and I'll make it work. This will look great with wedges and gold earrings!
April 16, 2013
Received this as a gift for my birthday in deep green to take out on a dinner, LOVE IT! It may possibly be my favorite item from this company! Super flattering. <3
April 8, 2013
Cute and classy
"I LOVE this romper. It is so classy. I am 5'8', about 145lbs. I normally wear a 6, but bought this in an 8. The 8 fit wonderfully. The linen is high quality, the color is gorgeous with tan skin! LOVE IT!!!! I have small breasts and a bigger butt, it fit so well!! My husband loves it!!!"
May 9, 2012
Not for busty girls
"I wanted to love this romper. I am 5'6, 123 lbs and 36D and I tried the romper in 4,6 and 8. None of them could fit my breasts. From waist down it looked great and I love the color but the romper was just not made for me. I bet it will look great on other girls!"
May 7, 2012
"The color and cut are tdf, but why the polyester lining? That just makes it so uncomfortable in the heat and difficult to machine wash and is completely unnecessary with the linen and non-transparent color :("

Tim Grant's dog Mac tracks down a flying shovel of snow in Oak Forest, Illinois, Friday, February 22, 2013. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 25, 2013 6:40AM
Southlanders put their shovels and snow blowers to work Friday, but snow started to taper off in the morning after an overnight storm blanketed the Chicago area in up to 5 inches of snow.
Chicago's full fleet of 284 snow plows were out clearing and salting streets, first focusing on main streets and then shifting to residential streets, according to a statement from the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation.
The National Weather Service warned that wind gusts of up to 30 mph could "result in wind-whipped snow" and brief whiteout conditions causing reduced visibility.
The wet snow could also make shoveling sidewalks and driveways harder, the weather service said.
The snow began late Thursday. Weather service meteorologist Gino Izzi said between 2 and 5 inches of accumulation were expected in the Chicago area.
The storm might seem insignificant for February in Chicago, but it could be the biggest storm in a winter that has only produced 10.9 total inches of accumulation at O'Hare International Airport, Izzi said.
The largest snowfall at O'Hare this winter left only 2.7 inches of accumulation Feb. 3 and 4, Izzi said.
A winter weather advisory will remain in effect in until 6 p.m. Friday as periods of "heavy snow," sleet or rain are expected to limit visibility, make roads slippery and travel difficult, the weather service said.
The snow and sleet were expected to change to all rain by Friday afternoon, when the temperature was expected to climb to 36 degrees, according to the weather service.

The little hero lives up to it's name
I received this a few days ago. I have a dog that sheds bad so this was my main test. I vacuumed her bed with this little hero and I was amazed. It is great. Glad I got this. You will be too. Don't hesitate to try it.
December 21, 2011
Tremendous suction for such a tiny thing!
This arrived the same day I picked up my old vacuum from repair, and I haven't used my old one since. Now, I'm not Suzie homemaker and don't vacuum every day, but it is really powerful and I like everything about it with the following exceptions. --The cord rewind broke on the second day. --The brush thingy won't stay attached to its attacher while working, have to keep reattaching it. I have trouble keeping track of it because it's so small, and there should be some way to permanently attach it to the unit - think Velcro. I wanted to order another brushy thing, but I can't find where to order it. --It won't stay upright and is always turning over, but that's not really a big deal, and is the tradeoff for a lightweight vacuum.
The instructions say to empty the big container regularly and the filter thing "every so often". Maybe it's just my dirty house, but all I collect is dust, and I have to clean 3-4 inches of dust bunnies off the filter after every 2 or 3 uses while the big container hardly has anything in it except a teaspoon of solid. It would be helpful if there some kind of a brush specially made to clean the filter. I knock it against the side of the house and use whatever brush I can find, but there could be a better one.
If you're thinking about buying Oreck, do it now while the old man is still alive and the quality is high. You know the old saying, "The first generation creates, the second generation develops, and the third generation destroys." Knott's Berry Farm was sold by the third generation and now everything (that isn't amusement park) has been cheapened and the KBF experience does not compare to before.
But overall, I'm very happy.
February 6, 2012
I bought this canister vacuum because my Oreck upright didn't come with attachments. I am so happy I purchased this little guy! The crevice/brush is little but I like it better than regular sized crevice/brush tools because it's easier to handle and it gets smaller places even better! I also use this to sweep my tile and hardwood floors and it cleans the best that I have ever experienced. It also does great on throw rugs! It gets them clean without sucking them up off the floor or getting strings/threads wrapped around a beater bar. It has powerful suction. I LOVE IT!
June 15, 2012
This product is wonderful!
We originally purchased the Little Hero to vacuum pet hair from the furniture. Now, it is the only vacuum cleaner that we own. We found that it works great on our hardwood floors, area rugs, and even the tile surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom. The suction power of this little guy is VERY impressive. It has even replaced the shop-vac's job of vacuuming our vehicles because of how easy it is to setup and put away.
August 7, 2012
This is product is easy to use
I have used the Little Hero several times and have found that it is real easy to operate. However, I do have a complaint - there are no dusting, furniture brushes or a crevice tool. These are important attachments and don't really understand why they aren't included.
December 22, 2011
Excellent convenience
I love it. I have tile floors and use it to clean all crevices and cabinets and other hard to reach places such as cobwebs. It is very light , easy to carry around and maneuver. It is great not to worry about bags, I just take it outside and tap the big filter and clean it and the small filter and put it back to gether easily. Don't let it get very full and it works much better.
It is nice to have such a light weight that has so much suction and .
It is a hand held device but can also clean floors and all corners.
It's great. I would recommend it to anyone.
Satisfied customer

not recommended if your going to use it daily
This is the 2nd one of these "HERO" model BB2000 that we've purchased from the ORECK store in Brick,NJ and the motors just don't last. we use it every day for 5 to 10 minutes and,they just don't last.

This product was disappointing.
I work harder than the vacuum to get it to work. It is made of plastic. I was very disappointed in the quality of the product.

Book Review: Case Study Debut
Arts & Architecture 1945-49. Taschen. $69.99.
Esther McCoy summarized the importance of Arts & Architecture: "A magazine as flat as a tortilla and sleek as a Bugatti...became the greatest force in the dissemination of information, architectural and cultural, about California." East Coast publications largely ignored the best of the West. Arts & Architecture gave generous coverage to regional modernists, but also featured houses by Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudolph, Harry Seidler, and Oscar Niemeyer. Editor John Entenza had his blind spots, scanting the originality of Schindler and Lautner in favor of orthogonal orthodoxy. But he was far ahead of public taste and most of the profession, and his genius was to win converts to modernism, and plant a seed that would keep blooming. The Case Study house is still a viable model.

[OS] CHINA/ECON Data Help China's Case for Yuan

BEIJING-A key measure of China's surplus with the outside world fell
sharply in the third quarter, adding to evidence that the country is
rebalancing away from dependence on exports and undermining the case for
faster yuan appreciation.
China's trade surpluses have drawn criticism from developed economies like
the U.S., which say the yuan is undervalued and gives Chinese companies an
unfair advantage when selling their products globally. U.S. President
Barack Obama, at a press conference at the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation summit this weekend, called for China to allow its currency to
appreciate more quickly. While there has been a "slight" appreciation in
the currency, "it hasn't been enough," he said.
Data released Tuesday could bolster China's argument that declines in both
the trade surplus and the broader current-account surplus undermine that
The current-account surplus-the trade surplus plus some other items such
as interest payments-fell 43.5% from a year earlier to $57.8 billion in
the third quarter, data from China's foreign-exchange regulator showed on
Tuesday. As a percentage of the country's gross domestic product, a key
ratio watched by economists, the surplus in the first three quarters fell
to 3%, from 5.1% in the same period last year.
"To the extent that [Chinese leaders] have slashed the current-account
surplus and cut the merchandise trade surplus, that's a great argument for
them," said Arthur Kroeber, managing director of Dragonomics Research, a
Beijing economic-consulting firm. "They can go out and say, 'we're doing
our job so leave us alone.'"
Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming made that argument on Friday.
Meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson and Rep. Jim McDermott
(D., Wash.) on the sidelines of the APEC summit, Mr. Chen said China's
shrinking trade surplus illustrates that the yuan "is basically at fair
The falling capital-account surplus also means that China can now argue
that it meets benchmarks the U.S. attempted to implement a year ago in its
campaign for faster yuan appreciation. At the Group of 20 major economies
summit last November in Seoul, the U.S. had pushed to have the G-20 adopt
a 4% surplus as a target by which to judge whether countries' currencies
were undervalued.
The proposal never went anywhere because of opposition by countries that
traditionally run large surpluses, such as China and Germany. Since then,
the debate has been overshadowed by the economic travails of Europe, and
the G-20 hasn't laid out specific guidelines for capital-account
surpluses. But at 3% of GDP, China's surplus is now comfortably within the
original proposed target.
Still, that doesn't mean China is doing all economists say it should to
rebalance toward domestic consumption. Critics of China's currency policy
such as the International Monetary Fund have argued that the decline in
the surplus is temporary and will likely be reversed once the global
economy recovers.
In addition, Mr. Kroeber argues that China's rebalancing is being driven
by rising domestic investment such as infrastructure projects, not the
rising consumption that economists say is vital for the country to
transition to more sustainable growth.
"The story of the last three years is that China has rebalanced
externally, but become more imbalanced internally," he said, adding, "we
still do not have a convincing answer to the question of how they are
going to make consumption a bigger part of output."
In 2010, consumption accounted for 47.4% of GDP, down from 49.5% in 2007,
according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. Meanwhile, the share
of investment rose dramatically, to 48.6% from 41.7%.

WZIP-FM is on the Right Track
When I switched the NV on to the Shively directional antenna system the reflected power actually dropped to 8W from the 16W it had on the load. Obviously the antenna is well tuned but I know the more than 800' of transmission line helps some too. One quirk in the NV AUI is when you log in through the Web and enter your user name it pops up a touch keyboard on the screen, but you can hit esc and it's back to normal.
Now I'm able to access all of the equipment at the remote site through the Net, and the new transmitter logs look great with a screen cap of the main Nautel display page. The only drawback was the delay in the audio from adding the STL link and Axia IP audio path. It wasn't too much in each unit, but add that to the slight delay in the Omnia and it was just enough to throw the announcers off.
I handled this by changing the source for the headphone feed to an analog processed feed before the STLs and all was well. It was a busy month or so but very well worth it and I'm now back to having the same type of equipment as the stations our graduates may be working on in their future jobs.

Banks stands behind product
Reviewed By Ken O (SALISBURY, MD) Reviewed for a 2000 Ford Excursion —4/23/2014 4:39 AM
Install went relatively smooth for the significant project it is. Power is as advertised. Only issue experienced is the engine stumbled a few times with the chip installed. The nice part with Banks is they stand behind their products and the chip is back to them for their review. In the mean time, mileage is up from about 15 MPG to 18MPG just with the airflow improvements on a hand calculation of mileage. Hopefully the chip comes back without issue and the MPG gain holds.

The Dada reader: a critical anthologyThe revolutionary Dada movement, though short-lived, produced a vast amount of creative work in both art and literature during the years that followed World War I. Rejecting all social and artistic conventions, Dadaists went to the extremes of provocative behavior, creating " anti-art" pieces that ridiculed and questioned the very nature of creative endeavor. To understand their movement' s heady mix of anarchy and nihilism-- combined with a lethal dash of humor-- it' s essential to engage with the artists' most important writings and manifestos. And that is is precisely where this reader comes in. Bringing together key Dada texts, many of them translated into English for the first time, this volume immerses readers in some of the most famous (and infamous) periodicals of the time, from Hugo Ball' s "Cabaret Voltaire" and Francis Picabia' s "391" to Marcel Duchamp' s "The Blind Man" and Kurt Schwitters' s "Merz," Published in Europe and the United States between 1916 and 1932, these journals constituted the movement' s lifeblood, communicating the desires and aspirations of the artists involved. In addition to providing the first representative selection of these texts, "The Dada Reader" also includes excerpts from many lesser-known American and Eastern European journals. Compiled with both students and general readers in mind, this volume is necessary reading for anyone interested in one of the most dynamic and influential movements of the twentieth century. |

Aromatherapy is the ancient science of healing, relaxing and energizing by the use of plants and their parts. The roots, barks, flowers, fruits, seeds and nuts play a crucial part in this science. It is one of the more popular branches of alternative medicines. The word aromatherapy is derived from two words aroma which means smell and therapy which stands for healing.
Essential oils form the basis of aromatherapy. These essentials oils are the extracts of plants and their parts and form their life force. These oils are extracted by the means of steam distillation, cold expression, or fixed oil or alcohol extraction. They are highly concentrated and should not be used directly. These oils can be blended together and this blend is called synergy. The synergy is more potent than the individual oils combined. To reduce the potency of these oils, you can dilute them by mixing them with carrier oils.
These oils affect your mood. They enter through our olfactory system and affect the nervous system, thus improving mood and relaxing or energizing us. This helps is alleviating stress and speeding up healing. These essential oils also have cosmetic properties and can be used in skincare and hair care products. Many of these oils have known anti-viral, antifungal and antiseptic properties. They are also used in household products for cleaning and antiseptic uses. These oils can be inhaled, massaged onto your body, added to the bath or shower or sprayed in the room.
The essential oils used in aromatherapy are the life force of the plants from which they have been extracted. These oils can be massaged on your body, inhaled, added to your bath or sprayed in the air. When you take "Aromatherapy massage" with the essential oils, these oils are absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin.

Mark 10:6-9 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let not man separate.
Romans 1:24-25 Therefore God gave them up in the lust of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie...
Romans 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another.
No one in the article mentioned what the Lord God thinks about this relationship and the church's blessing upon it: Because marriage is God's creation and not man's I thought I would let His word speak for itself.
If only God can decide whether a marriage is truly valid or not, why withhold government sanctions and deny private ceremonies. None of that is going to make any difference anyway.
That just amounts to one person imposing his or her values on another, which seems very popular these days.
If someone is going to impose values, let it be God in His own way. I don't see that He should need human help.
Steve Bagwell
God's plan from eternity past is that a man and a woman are required to constitute a marriage. Suddenly in the 21st century you have come up with the idea that He is wrong. I don't think that's any of your business. He said it's wrong and it is: If you don't like it create your own world, set up your own rules, then you can do anything you want.
According to Romans 13 It is the God given responsibility of the governing authorities (read government) to punish evil or bad behavior and reward the good. Since we live in a democracy then it becomes our responsibility to petition our government to see to it that they stop evil and approve of what is good. God doesn't need human help, but He demands that we get involved with stopping what is wrong.
A cannibal is to cannibalism, what a sodomite is to sodomy. I myself not being a cannibal am offended by the very idea of mortuary cannibalism, yet, there are people that believe that dining on the flesh of their dearly departed is a high honor bestowed only to those they love the most.
Personally, I intend to be cremated. I find the very idea of mortuary cannibalism just too repulsive to even contemplate. So, should our society eventually become permissive enough to except cannibalism, and when that day comes I find myself visiting cemetery's on Memorial Day (as is my custom) I will refrain from asking what the folks visiting their loved ones what they are enjoying for lunch, or simply look away.
It's amazing how often I'm reminded of the quote, attributed to multiple people at various times in history, a theology professor told me: "God created man in His image, and man returned the favor."
The above quotes from scripture remind me of this letter to the editor published June 8 in The Columbian in Vancouver:
As told to me by a friend:
"For those who haven't heard, Washington state just passed both laws — gay marriage and legalized marijuana.
"The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were legalized on the same day makes perfect biblical sense because Leviticus 20:13 says 'If a man lies with another man, as he does with a woman, they should be stoned.'
"We just hadn't interpreted it correctly before."
There are only four verses in all of Scripture - one in Deuteronomy and three in 1st Kings - which use the word SODOMITE:
"There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a SODOMITE of the sons of Israel." -Deuteronomy 23:17
"For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And there were also SODOMITES in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel." -1st Kings 14:23-24
"And he took away the SODOMITES out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made." -1st Kings 15:12
"Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And the remnant of the SODOMITES, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land." -1st Kings 22:43-46
The Hebrew word the King Jame Version translates as "sodomite" is "kadesh." As a reader of Hebrew, I know and understand the definition of kadesh. Strong's Concordance defines it as: "a male devotee by prostitution or licentious idolatry; a sodomite, unclean."
Literally, kadesh refers to male prostitution in pagan religious rites. It does not refer to a homosexual, but rather, male religious prostitution, either heterosexual or homosexual.
The context of the cited verses confirms the Strong's definition. In every case that "sodomite" occurs in the Scriptures, we see it coupled with idolatry or prostitution, which is exactly what a Sodomite would be involved with. A sodomite is the male equivalent of a female temple prostitute, used for sexual rituals and orgies to false gods, such as Dionysus, Bacchus, Baal, and Dagon.
What's more, relationships are hardly defined solely by their sexual component. That line of thinking seems incredibly narrow to me.
That's why I find the term offensive. It distorts and demeans the nature of a loving and committed relationship two of our fellow human beings.
Carl, that was funny.
As for pejoratives in both fact and intent, I'll take that as a personal attack on me by you, Steve, which you so often are prone to do when we do not agree.
The next thing you know, you'll be trying to convince me it was meant as a term of endearment, that you were thinking, "Gee, aren't those sodomites looking lovely in the wedding day finery?"
A slur is a slur. We all know them when we see them.
Because "Gee, aren't those sodomites looking lovely in the wedding day finery?" is something you may come up with, that is all that is, something that you'd came up with, and not I.
You are the one slinging the slurs. It's what you do when someone disagrees with you, and no, my use of the term is not meant as an endearment, but neither was it meant as a slur. Are you going to next label me as a 'hater' because I am in disagreement with the idea of same-sex marriage.
Anytime I've ever been offered the opportunity to vote on the subject, I have alway voted in the affirmative that marriage continue being defined a committal only through the joining of 'One Man and One Woman' at any given time.
"You're marvelous, relax...."
Go back to your holy Jim Bakkers, Jimmie Swaggerts, the entire disgusting Oral Roberts family, Ted what's-his-name with his young men escorts, the pervert Warren Jeffs, all those weeping money-grubbing hypocrites sucking revenue from poor people in order to live in mansions, and not the kind Jesus was referencing.
All of you with stones in your hands ready to throw makes me glad I don't believe your nasty fairy tales. Plus you have absolutely no shred of humor. Icky, nasty, killjoys.
Casting stones seems to be your specialty.
I am merely stating my perspective on same-sex marriage and I could care less what your personal beliefs are, Lulu, but you are welcome to express them.
You truly appear to relish throwing around the term "sodomite," don't you? Creeps me out.
I mean heck, even her majesty the Queen of England feels no need to blush when the word is spoken in her presence. Queen is another word that some have found useful as a descriptor in the parlance of your more modern day sodomites.
Homosexual and Heterosexual are both scientific terms coined in modern times.
Should only modern day scientific terms be deemed as appropriate when describing people with different proclivities? Personally, I am highly offended when being described as being 'Caucasian', yet, I must endure that indignity because some scientists got together and coined the term as a descriptor.
The word 'sodomite' has been used as a behavioral descriptor long before people started reading the bible, as the term itself predates the Bible. As for what I relish, that I generally limit to hot dogs, hamburgers and my potato salad.
As for my personal beliefs, sure, but I manage to share mine without the casting stones....
Obviously, there will always be resistance to accepting what a majority of people view as repugnant or too deviant a concept.
Example: "Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with this," -said Douglas Powell, a professor of food safety at Kansas State University.
"It could be quite safe to eat, but I'm sure there's a yuck factor there."
To make swallowing a little bit easier, a nutty flavor was added using soy protein, and red food coloring was mixed in too, apparently to make the concoction look more like a juicy, bloody steak.
A few brave researchers even took the plunge and taste-tested the product.
(Apparently it tastes like regular beef.)
The official composition of the lab-grown steak is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. And I am quite positive that at some point an official indoctrination of children will be pushed to accept this product as an (in the parlance of the day) acceptable societal alternative to be viewed as equal to the original in concept.
It's not the same, and never will be, no matter what you choose to call it.
Someone told me that the Catholic church is the largest business in the intire world. No birth control equals more children who grow up to make more donations. Priest can't marry due to the fact they will leave assests to their families instead of the church. HMMM...
If the people in this article are impacting you other then what you read here, overt your eyes and move on to the next article.
That is not a stone but a theory. Let's hope the Rapture arrives sooner than later. You can all be together enjoying the peace that apparently eludes you on this planet.
I'd asked him "who drives the Plymouth?" and he'd replied "the nuns do, it meets their simple needs."
If someone is going to impose values, let it be God in His own way. I don't see that He should need human help."
Steve Bagwell
If only the News Register took that stance on all subject...
Nor am I aware of us ever endorsing imposition of values by the government or any other entity.
We think private citizens should be able to marry or not as they see fit, without government interference, and I think that generally matches out line of thought.
Where we support government regulation, it is in the interest of public order, equity or safety, not in the interest of a particular set of values, be they yours or ours.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Prime Minister Stoltenberg visits President Obama
20 October 2011 06:44
US President Barak Obama will host Norway's Prime Minister Jens
Stoltenberg for a meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday. This is
Stoltenberg's first visit to the White House.
President Obama met the Prime Minister in Oslo in December 2009, and has
said he welcomes the opportunity to reciprocate the warm hospitality that
both he and the First Lady received during that visit, in connection with
the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony.
In their meeting on Thursday, the two leaders are expected to discuss
issues of common interest, like the global economic crisis, as well as the
war in Afghanistan, Middle East peace, the Arctic, global health and
climate change.
Jens Stoltenberg became Norwegian Prime Minister in 2005, and there has
been some speculation over why he has not been invited to the White House
before now.
This week Norwegian media reported that the reason was a controversy over
a phone conversation in 2005, between former President Bush and
Stoltenberg, after it became clear that Stoltenberg would become the new
Norwegian Prime Minister.
According to Aftenposten, it was alleged that the then-newly elected prime
minister gave Norwegian media an incorrect version of what he had said
during Busha**s congratulatory phone call.
Stoltenberg said at the time that he had told the US President that he
supported the fight against terrorism, but that he had said that his new
government did not want Norwegian officers to remain in Afghanistan any
However, Aftenposten quoted an unidentified US source who said Stoltenberg
did not actually tell Bush that Norwegian officers would be pulled out of
Iraq. The source said Bush felt that this was dishonest, and that this was
the reason why Stoltenberg was never invited to the White House.
Stoltenberg has admitted that some unclarity had arisen after the phone
conversaton , but that these misunderstandings had been cleared up during
a conversation he had with the US ambassador to Norway.
He has also underlined that Norway's relations with the US have been
excellent all along.

Pollock for me. Once you add in the value of his batting it becomes even clearer, but I'd take him even on bowling alone. I do expect Steyn to eventually eclipse both but as of now I'd go Pollock > Donald > Steyn. It's all very close though; good thread.

Oh right haha, I totally missed the poll.
White Lightning. Phenomenal bowler, up there with the very best of all time.
Massive respect for the other two as well, but prime Donald was a sight for sore eyes.
Not a fair comparison until Steyn completes his career.
Who knows, in 10 years time it might be Steyn v Donald v Pollock v Philander.
Growing up i used to watch Donald tearing it up with Raw pace. Intimidating the opposition. But in the Dale Steyn era, when he is on song he is unplayable. Tendulkar,dravid, laxma,Vaughn,Pujara can all attest to what he has done. Its just not pace that makes him a threat, but add the late swing and you have the best fastbowling one trick pony i have seen. Destroyed Pakistan and India in their own hoods. ATG material i dare say.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
How does these threads get so off track.

Pleat Box 14 Inch Pendant LightPin It Houzz |

Related Info Tools |
Design by Xavier Manosa & Mashallah.By Marset.
The idea behind the Pleat Box Collection is that of a sophisticated combination between a digitally-designed crease in a piece of cloth, the silhouette of which is applied to a ceramic base. The Pleat Box 14 Inch Pendant Light has come about through the first ever collaboration between Xavier Manosa, a master ceramicist from Barcelona, and the Mashallah design studio in Berlin with Marset.
The outer part of the lamp is offered in white, grey, black, brown or terracotta finish. The interior of the pendant body, which reflects the light emitted from the lamp, is available in gold or white finish. The white enamel interior creates a glitter effect and enhances the light, while the gold generates an extremely warm light.

Material(s): Ceramic
Dimensions: 14.7"D X 6.3"H
Lamp Type: INCANDESCENT, CFL
- 1 X 60W 120V E26 (medium base) A19 incandescent lamp, 1 X 18W 120V E26 (medium base) CFL Mini Type T can be used (lamps not included)
- 1 X 60W 120V G9 bipin halogen lamp (not included)

Xavier Manosa has become one of the most up and coming ceramicists of his generation. Manosa fundamentally distinguishes himself as a modern day ceramicist through his boldness when it comes to combining different materials and exploring new forms of expression.
His work is an obvious reflection of his training as a designer. On the one hand, his work stands out as a brand and, on the other, he raises its prominence through his website and participating in numerous exhibitions and promotional events both inside Spain and elsewhere.
See other lights/products from Xavier ManosaMarset
Through the application of technical precision and creativity, Marset constantly aims to discover new functions to provide other uses for their long lasting lamps. This constant quest for new directions, combined with their curiosity and ability to envision the shape of things to come, has led to the pieces in their collection.

25It's here again! Vote for your favourite hack of 2009
After the last 2 years of listing 20 favourite hacks, I've noticed that votes concentrated on around 10 hacks while the rest received minimal votes. So with much reluctance I decided to trim my fat list down to 10, again. A shorter list was much harder to do than I thought. It was a delight going through all the entries in 2009 but agonising in having to omit some really good hacks. Probably, your favourite is missing in the list too. Do drop a comment if your favourite is unlisted. I'd like to know your pick.
And with that, here goes my 10 personal favourites (in no particular order). You guys vote to decide who takes the cake as the Ikea Hack of 2009.
Crafty pod with sewing machine
Two Billy bookcases makes one great craft pod. Closes to hide the full shebang of crafty things. Opens up to reveal loads of storage and even space of a sewing machine.
See Liz's craft pod.
Philip and Cat's shoe room
The ladies (and some lads, me think) went wild oogling Cat's shoe room. While not in the league of the likes of Imelda but for us hackers, it's plenty of storage.
See more of Philip and Cat's shoe room.
iMac computer desk
Combine Apple coolness with Ikea hacking and what do you get? Ta-dah.
See more of Gerard's iMac computer desk.
Besta Makeup Armoire
I think this is amazing. No clutter, no mess and it actually adds big pluses to the place.
See more of Scott's makeup armoire.
Hamster haven
Expedit makes great hamster homes. Lots of space to run, dig and be merry.
See more of Martina's hamster home.
Expedit room divider
The Expedit also makes an impressive room divider. What's most fantastic about this room divider is its flow. Yeah, we're talking chi, baby. John added just the right curves to the Expedit and turned it from square to sexy.
See more of John's room divider.
The heated Poang
I like the concept of seatheating in an Ikea armchair. Definitely one of the freshest Ikea hacks I've seen this year. The idea of heated seats may not be new but as far as hacks go, it's new ground.
See more of Nico's hot seat.
One flew over the chicken coop
This is one hack that totally took me by surprise. Never have I imagined Ikea being used as homes for chicken. Turns out the stuff from Sweden is not just good for us humans but pretty swanky for chicks too.
See more of Aaron and Corrine's home for chicks.
Rocking Emmabo
I loved this the moment I saw it. I looks way, way better than the plasticky-what-have-you cover that comes with it. Ikea should come up with this for 2010 Summer. Seriously.
See more of Alex's Emmabo deck chair.
Hidden wall cabinet
If Anthony didn't tell me, I wouldn't have guessed that a medicine cabinet is cleverly hidden behind the wooden frame hacked from a Nexus cabinet door. Simply gorgeous and so simple.
See more of Anthony's Nexus wall cabinet.
So here are the finalists on parade. What's your pick?
Which is your favourite hack of the year?(survey software)
25 Responses to It's here again! Vote for your favourite hack of 2009
So darn tough to pick only one!!!! I picked the imac cause it applied to me most, but gosh! What about the cleverness of the Emmabo chair!! The gorgeousness of the Hamster haven.. The style of the divider… Huhhh! You Hackers are my heros! My soul bros and sis!!!
xx -
Expedit room divider with Hamster Haven a very close second!
Despite having cookies enabled this poll asks me to vote everytime I visit.
Should this be happening?
What?!? No Sunnan Synth on the list???
That was the greatest Ikeahack ever, period!!! -
The giant hamster cage is winning? Seriously?
Things to do with animals or kids often win. The turtle thing won in 2007 and I think the kiddy thing won last year. It's more a contest about what the cutest hack is rather than the best.
Maureen, it will not register your vote if you have already voted. The IP address and cookies are tracked and blocked. Even if you do vote again, from the same computer that is, it will show you the message that "Your vote is counted" and will not add your vote to the count.
I loved all of them in above pictures. I will choose Imac as my favourate hack. Thanks for sharing such a nice ideas about home decor.
I had to choose the chicken coup because it's an amazing build. The iMac desk would look awesome in my house, though…
I really love the chicken coop. It would look great in my yard. I might have to visit Ikea!
That Emmabo deck chair is amazing. I voted for it because the design is gorgeous, he recycled something that was to be thrown out and it's actually better than the original. Fantastic.
I pick the Nexus wall cabinet. It's brilliant to have a medicine cabinet hidden behind the wooden frame hacked from a Nexus cabinet door and it's quite an easy DIY weekend project too! I like it!
Hard to choose. I think I like the iMac shelf the best but it's not very hackish given that the things are used almost exactly as intended. So I went for the room divider since more original parts and design work was required. Tough choice though.
Hamster Heaven!
Hamster haven! Simply great!
Shows how you can house a hamster species-appropriate and make the cage a real looker! -
Has to be the chicken coop – OK I'm a bit biased since I love chickens.
I think I like the iMac shelf the best but it's not very hackish given that the things are used almost exactly as intended.
Term Paper -
Ikea currently has one room-divider for sale and it's not as cool or practical as this one.
http://www.remihomeelevators.com -
nice post..
I am deeply in love with every single piece of information you post here
Brilliant, just the right level, thanks.
Pretty good post.so creative and clean rooms and cabinet.
I wish I found your wonderful site years ago, I would have been delighted to vote though it would have been a very, very tough choice! I love this site!
Great post! Very impressive.
Love some of these ikea hacks, they look great, i love the mac hack, it actually looks like it was created by apple

Hudson has released Turbografx-16 GameBox as a free download, which you can find here. They've also lowered the previously announced prices on games to $3 each. Read on for the full list of available games.
When you download Turbografx-16 GameBox, you get one game, World Sports Competition, for free. Here's what else you can buy for $3 apiece:
- Gradius
- Salamander
- R-Type
- Bonk's Adventure
- Bomberman '94
- New Adventure Island
- Vigilante
- Ninja Spirit
- Military Madness
- Victory Run
- Soldier Blade
- Jaseiken Necromancer
- Dungeon Explorer
- World Class Baseball
- China Warrior
Hudson is also looking for suggestions for what to release next on the GameBox, so leave them your requests in your App Store reviews or here in our comments.
Today Hudson Entertainment announced a "winter" release for TurboGrafx Gamebox, an iOS application that will let users download individual TurboGrafx games. The app comes with one free game, World Sports Competition, and will have 15 more games at launch for $3.99 each.
In a nice try-before-you buy feature, you'll also be able to play one Hudson-selected game for three minutes every day. New games will be added "frequently to meet user demand," a press release said.
We think this is a great move, one that follows Capcom's recently-released Capcom Arcade and Sega's less uniform piecemeal approach for Genesis games. $3.99 sounds a little steep to us for 20-year old games, though.
The games list hasn't been announced yet, but we're expecting to see some of the big names come out for this launch, like Bonk, Bomberman, and Adventure Island. We'll have more for you on TurboGrafx Gamebox as soon as we hear about it.
