THE decor was festive in Tashkent last weekend. Snakes of lights coloured the streets, and banners offered a warm welcome to the hundreds of foreign officials, journalists and members of NGOs who arrived in Uzbekistan's capital for the annual meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Until a few weeks ago, though, it looked as though the meeting might be held elsewhere. The EBRD's choice of venue has been heavily criticised. The bank's mandate is to help countries committed not only to the free market, but to multi-party democracy, the rule of law and human rights. Yet Uzbekistan's government is one of the most repressive in the region, with over 6,500 religious and political prisoners, and no opposition or press freedom to speak of. Despite some largely cosmetic moves, such as the registration of two human-rights NGOs, Britain's ambassador to Uzbekistan said in October that there was little sign of substantive change over human rights.
So the EBRD has been at pains to state that holding the meeting in Tashkent was not an endorsement of the government's policies. It has given the government one year to improve its record on human rights and political reform, failing which it will stop financial support. The bank also hoped that holding the meeting in Uzbekistan would result in more openness. The opening session on May 4th, on "investment climate", offered a platform for local human-rights activists to complain about the situation in the country. A small group of protesters assembled outside the meeting. Islam Karimov, the country's president, told the delegates that Uzbekistan attached great significance to promoting the role and work of NGOs. Clare Short, a British government minister, said she was concerned about the lack of respect for freedom of religion, the prevalence of torture and the failure of the judicial system to protect the rights of the citizen. Jean Lemierre, the EBRD president, spoke of his regret that Mr Karimov's speech did not emphasise the importance of human rights.
After arduous negotiations by the EBRD, this opening session was transmitted live on local television. So local viewers at least had a chance to hear an alternative view of Uzbekistan's record. By Uzbekistan's standards, this may be progress. But it is likely to be largely lost on most Uzbeks. For days before and after that broadcast, the event has been presented by the local media as a stamp of approval for the country's policies. The main television channel informed its viewers that countries wishing to receive assistance from the EBRD should meet democratic standards and that the fruitful co-operation between Uzbekistan and the EBRD showed that Uzbekistan had gained a great deal of trust in this respect. There was not a word about the EBRD's conditions for continued financial support, or the fact that the IMF, after meeting with Uzbekistan government officials before the meeting, is still withholding financial assistance.
Mr Lemierre had been confident that Mr Karimov would publicly condemn torture, one of the first recommendations of a United Nations representative during his speech. He did not. Human Rights Watch, a New York-based NGO, reported that human-rights activists and relatives of religious prisoners were harassed in the wake of the meeting, and that some NGO representatives were intimidated by officials even during the forum. The ultimate test will be what happens after the lights are down and the foreign guests have gone. The review of the conditions, a year from now, will provide another occasion to bring Uzbekistan into the spotlight and to test the EBRD's seriousness about its mandate. The government, however, insists that it needs to approach economic and political reform in its own way and at its own pace. One year may prove to be far too short for that.

They're not looking at the decor, either. Bathed in sunlight, the space exudes a dusty, junk-store chic; a sense of having been thrown together over a weekend by friends who fitted it out with mismatched chairs and stuff found in basements and attics, friends who never expected the place to do the kind of business it's doing in this comfortable Park Hill neighborhood and who never expected the lines. The tables from which the restaurant takes its name (at least in part) are rough things -- chipped and battered and worn smooth at the corners, built from wood that's got some history and, in many cases, was something else before it became a table. Most of the tables are from the collection of owner Amy Vitale, and the joke when she and Dustin Barrett opened Tables last year was that Vitale just needed a place to put them all. How else to explain why these two veterans of Strings would open a sandwich shop?
But the people waiting in these lines will take whatever table they can get, whatever seat they can find while the kitchen crew assembles their lunch. It's surprising how many people Tables can handle during a busy lunch, how smoothly, and how, as the line squirms in toward the counter, Vitale seems to know nearly every single person in it.
Park Hill: $6.50
Hot ham sandwich
(the Holly): $6
Hudson Street: $6<
br>French toast sandwich: $6.50
salad (Smiley Club): $6.50
salad: $7
Sweetbreads: $12
Prosciutto and melon: $8
salad: $13
Chicken pasta: $16
Sausage and clams: $17
Pork loin:
Tables is much more than a sandwich shop, and these are far from standard sandwiches. The hot ham sandwich comes dressed with pineapple, basil and a sambal aioli. It has sliced scallions rather than onions, and the tomatoes are roasted, sweet as candy. The Hudson Street is ham and Swiss cheese dressed with watercress and thin-sliced pears and apricot jam, its sweetness offset by a smear of creamed Dijon mustard. The egg salad comes with smoked salmon and bacon, the derivative croque monsieur on French toast with ham, a honey-maple spread that gives the whole sandwich an overwhelming sweet-over-savory taste, sharp cheddar, bacon, and tomatoes sliced so thin they seem to just melt away. A simple Italian (called the Park Hill) with salami, excellent prosciutto, pepperoni and soft provolone is sharpened by the inclusion of smashed, bittersweet black olives and an herbed oil-and-vinegar dressing that's so thick and rich with herbs it could be a spread. This single sandwich has more than a dozen distinct ingredients, each working in perfect harmony, capped with sweet strips of roasted red pepper that act like a singing high note with every bite.
These are carefully constructed sandwiches. The layers are stacked just so, the breads (crusty Italian for the Park Hill, real marble rye for the Reuben) ideally matched, the ingredients chosen wisely for the way they play together. Two Park Hills ordered two days apart are nearly identical, the components laid on in the same order, in the same ratios, with the same generosity coupled with a weird stinginess that works: lots of salami, just a little prosciutto for salt, four or five strips of roasted pepper, a mere scattering of olives but a lot of herbed oil, light on the vinegar. And even if the lunch special one Saturday -- a salmon burrito-slash-wrap-sandwich that tasted like the leftovers of a bad California/fusion salad wrapped in a tortilla with bitter greens, mango sauce and chunks of smoked salmon -- was pretty much inedible, I should've known better than to order it. A salmon special on a Saturday afternoon? That just screams Friday leftovers, and there was no reason for ordering it save my own infernal curiosity and psychological weakness for fish burritos.
But if lunch at Tables is surprising, dinner is astonishing. In the evening, Tables is a totally different restaurant -- and the difference is literally night and day.
There's a lot of magic on the floor of a good restaurant, a lot of stagecraft that smart chefs, floormen and owners pick up piecemeal over the years. The trick of putting all your servers in soft shoes, the tricks of padded tabletops and the smell of sautéeing onions and garlic wafting over the dining room, the lightbulb tricks (peach-tinted bulbs make everything look better; incandescents make everything look sculpted out of nursery-school paste). Everyone knows that candles and fresh flowers can make even a Denny's seem romantic. A good manager knows all about the power of polished wineglasses, heavy silver and folded napkins on a dinner floor, and a great one understands how people's expectations can be manipulated long before the first plate hits the table with something as simple as the way that napkin is folded, the amount of silver laid out, the flowers in the vase against the wall.

The Australian V8 Supercar championship will be decided in the 13th and final round at Sydney's Eastern Creek circuit this weekend, with two drivers battling for the title and a third in with an outside chance.
Marcos Ambrose, driving the Stone Brothers Falcon, will go into the round leading the championship points table.
His only major rival is Garry Rogers team driver Greg Murphy, his points boosted by victories in the Bathurst 1000 and Pukekohe rounds of the championship and his confidence certain to be high after a resounding win in the Bathurst 24-hour race in a Monaro at the weekend.
Holden Racing Team driver and reigning champion Mark Skaife has an outside chance but he will need to win both heats of this weekend's round and have Ambrose and Murphy finish out of the points.
The points system in the championship is complex and favours consistency over outright results. For instance, Jason Bright headed the championship for the first part of the season without winning a race.
Although the total championship score of each driver will be tallied after each has dropped his worst result for the season, the simple equation is this: for Murphy to win the title he will need to win both races this weekend and have Ambrose finish worse than fifth in each.
There are other subtle permutations but Murphy acknowledges that nothing short of winning will give him a chance.
And he said at Bathurst that the 24-hour race was perfect preparation - no championship stress, driving a car he enjoyed, in an event he enjoyed and at a track he loves.
His second Bathurst victory in a month was a "feather in my cap" but Murphy said: "Next weekend is the main event."
Ambrose, who stormed into contention in the championship mid-season with a series of near-perfect qualifying and race performances, has been off the boil since the Bathurst 1000 round.
However, his record at Eastern Creek is impressive; in the third round there earlier this year he was fastest qualifier and won the round. Last year, he was second overall.
Despite this, it doesn't rank as his favourite track. "Eastern Creek is a frustrating track because whenever you drive on it, it feels like you should be going the other way," he said this week.
"All the corners over the back have kinks before the entry, which makes it difficult to pass. While saying that, it is safe, wide and has good amenities for the fans and the teams, so I actually enjoy going there."
The format for the round is for a 39-lap, 150 kilometre race on Saturday afternoon with a compulsory stop for tyres, followed by a 64-lap, 250km heat on Sunday afternoon with two stops, one for tyres and one for fuel. Points for the round will be split evenly across the two races.
There will be a different method of deciding the starting grid for the first race. Rather than a set qualifying session followed by a top-10 shoot-out, the drivers will have two practice sessions followed by a full-field draw for positions in the shoot-out, which will start at 11.10am Saturday.
Going into the round, the total championship points after 12 rounds are: Ambrose 1989, Murphy 1983 and Skaife 1859. Adjusted scores after each driver has dropped his worst round so far: Ambrose 1893, Murphy 1869 and Skaife 1823.

I've had one for about 4 years, I had a lot of trouble out of it at first, but after 500 rounds or so it has become flawless, if you have any issues with it, dont be discouraged. Just finish that break in period, a couple of high quality mags couldnt hurt also. Smoking deal BTW, mine was about $650
Congrats on your first 1911, be careful, but have fun shooting.
US Naval Aviation AMSC 20 years ( retired) ASW/Aircrew Wings, P2V plane capt. US Naval Academy (DI) Shooting Instructor (Annapolis) NDW shooting team member and a lot more stuff! Alway keep your six covered
That's definitely a solid fun. I have one also. Keep the finish wiped down and oiled well. The black ones have a tendency to develop rust.
Love mine. I use a avenger holster and a blackhawk from walmart, shoulder holster when im hunting
Wow what a good price. I picked up the stainless model, for 650 at Bass Pro about 7 months ago. Mine has been flawless. I have around 1500 rounds out, with out one hickup. I can hit the ten ring all day long a 10 yards, so I have been shooting 20 to 25 yards to hopefully get me better. My sights are dead on, with the fixed Novaks. I did have to drift the front sight to center it. I have no idea why it was off center out of the box. For a holster, I have an old 1911 army holster that slings over the sholder, and you can carry it under your arm, or out in front. That was the holster i had in the army, as we had the 1911 for a side arm when I was in. Happy shooting!
Doin' what I can, with what I got.

How can I make exercise more interesting?
I think it all boils down to how interested and motivated you really are in attaining your goal. Nobody can force you to do anything which bores you to death... |

biceps gaining slower than the rest
I have the same problem... my chest and triceps grow really easier than my biceps. Sometimes I dedicate a day for biceps alone for the hope of adding mass to it, but didn't make a difference... :( |

UK Watchdog Warns Country's Terrorism Laws Could Be Used to Criminalize Newspapers as Terrorists |
By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday July 22, 2014 1:13 pm |
The official in the United Kingdom, who is tasked with reviewing terrorism legislation, has released a report warning about the breadth of terrorism laws and how they could be used to criminalize journalism.
Citing the case of David Miranda, journalist Glenn Greenwald's husband who was detained at Heathrow Airport under the UK's Terrorism Act of 2000 last year, David Anderson QC recommended changing the definition of terrorism in the law.
Citigroup Pays Just $7 Billion For Causing Financial Crisis |
By: DSWright Monday July 14, 2014 11:07 am |
Citigroup, one of the most dysfunctional and malevolent financial institutions in American history, has agreed to pay $7 billion to settle investigations into the fraud it committed in the mortgage security market that led to the financial crash of 2008. The selling and marketing of volatile mortgage security products to investors around the world as safe and stable mined the financial markets to blow up in 2008.
The resulting financial crisis saw the American people suffer incredible pain while Citigroup received a federal bailout from Congress under TARP and a wide open line of endless credit from the Federal Reserve.
A Case Study in Awful: The 8 Worst Parts of the Recent Naval Academy Rape Hearing |
By: RH Reality Check Friday September 13, 2013 5:11 pm |
Recently, attorneys defending three former Naval Academy football players against allegations of sexual assault at an off-campus party spent more than 20 hours over five grueling days questioning, taunting, blaming, shaming, and what appears to be re-victimizing a 21-year-old female midshipman.
Mexico's Abortion Wars, American-Style |
By: RH Reality Check Saturday September 7, 2013 8:00 am |
On May 1, a familiar anti-abortion story line played out on Azteca 13, a popular television channel in Mexico. In the opening scenes of an episode of Lo Que Callamos Las Mujeres (What We Women Keep Silent), a Lifetime-like telenovela series about "real-life" stories, a pretty brunette with a heart-shaped face, Alondra, discovers she is pregnant when overtaken by a sudden bout of morning sickness. Her sister Sofía is concerned, but later that night, when Alondra's boorish boyfriend comes home and she breaks the news, he asks if it's his, then tells her to abort.
Anti-Choicers Can't Get Around It: Their Arguments Have No Standing |
By: RH Reality Check Wednesday September 4, 2013 4:16 pm |
As part of the struggle to prevent women from using the health-care benefits they earn, six state attorneys general—who clearly need something better to do with their time—launched a suit to give employers the right to deny employees coverage of birth control as part of their health policies. Now, those attorneys general are giving up the lawsuit, for now at least, in no small part because a federal judge earlier ruled they have no standing to sue.
Beyond Stop and Frisk: Communities Organize for Deeper Reforms |
By: RH Reality Check Thursday August 29, 2013 5:00 pm |
On August 22, the New York City Council voted to override Mayor Michael Bloomberg's veto of the Community Safety Act, which is composed of two bills seeking to create more levels of accountability within the New York Police Department (NYPD) and prevent discriminatory practices, such as stop-and-frisk activity, from occurring.
The Community Safety Act was passed one week after Judge Shira A. Scheindlin declared, in Floyd v. The City of New York, that the NYPD's stop-and-frisk program is unconstitutional because it violates the Fourth Amendment.
Beyond Stop and Frisk: Communities Organize for Deeper Reforms |
By: RH Reality Check Wednesday August 28, 2013 2:20 pm |
The Community Safety Act was passed one week after Judge Shira A. Scheindlin declared, in Floyd v. The City of New York, that the NYPD's stop-and-frisk program is unconstitutional because it violates the Fourth Amendment. While we should be pleased a court ruled against the department's stop-and-frisk policy—which is said to have violated the constitutional rights of many thousands of people, almost all of them Black and Latino, with the vast majority of them not found to have violated any crime—the ruling did not go far enough to ensure people in New York are protected from being unduly harassed and violated.
Anti-Rape Bill Could Create Wedge Between Different Anti-Feminist Factions |
By: RH Reality Check Tuesday July 30, 2013 5:05 pm |
As Todd Akin and the country at large learned during the 2012 elections, pregnancies resulting from rape are very real and sadly all too common. If there was one silver lining in the entire debacle and "debate" over Akin's "legitimate rape" comment, it was that it helped expose a previously under-reported problem: 31 states allow rapists to sue for custody or visitation of children conceived by rape. It might initially seem like it wouldn't be much of a problem—most of us probably ask ourselves why rapists would bother to want these children at all—but the fact of the matter is that rapists rape because they like to hurt and control women.
I Help Teenage Girls Get Abortions |
By: RH Reality Check Tuesday July 23, 2013 5:15 pm |
On Thursday, when Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed into law a sweeping abortion measure, my heart broke for all of what my Republican uncle in Lubbock calls "my girls." "My girls" are Texas minors seeking to terminate a pregnancy through the judicial bypass process.

I was disappointed to open my latest hockey news and see that you published a letter from a fan telling Carey Price to "grow up."
The only way to do that is to have the media stop going so hard.
Yes, last year was a rough one, but there were many games that were lost by one goal with Price in net that the rest of the team lost, not just him.
Roberto Luongo, Martin Brodeur, Ryan Miller, to name a few all have bad games, but they are not under the microscope like Price.
To all you Price haters who have never watched him play a game and have only seen the highlights of the bad ones I leave you with this: He is a great goalie, just sit down and watch an entire game for once. Only then will you realize the Habs made the right choice. He is a No. 1 goalie and that was always the case.

Ducks 3, Blackhawks 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
Teemu Selanne probably regretted returning to play another year for most of the first three miserable months of the Anaheim Ducks' season.
Selanne and his decision are looking better every day - and so are his surging Ducks.
Selanne scored a power-play goal and had an assist to move into 20th place on the NHL's career scoring list, and Anaheim kept rolling in its return from an eight-game road trip, beating the slumping Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 Sunday night.
Jonas Hiller made 18 saves in his 21st consecutive start for the Ducks, who won for the ninth time in 12 games during their improbable playoff push. Andrew Cogliano scored his first goal of February for the Ducks, and Sheldon Brookbank also scored as Anaheim avoided a four-game season sweep by Chicago.
After falling 20 points out of eighth place in the West during an awful start, Anaheim has been the NHL's best team since Jan. 1, going 17-4-4 for a league-high 38 points.
''After 15 days on the road, it's never easy to come back,'' Selanne said. ''The tank was pretty empty, but I was very happy with how we played, especially the last two periods. That's a good feeling. We just keep battling.''
Anaheim got just two days off following the longest continuous road trip in franchise history before starting a key stretch of five games in seven days. The Ducks are just six points out of playoff position - but still in 13th place in the Western Conference standings.
''We take every win we can get right now, (but) nobody seems to want to lose that is going for the playoffs in the West,'' said Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau, the architect of Anaheim's turnaround. ''We're going to have to try to do it ourselves. ... We were pretty sluggish in the first period. That's common when you come off a long road trip. I thought we got our legs, and we were pretty good in the second and third.''
Selanne inched up the NHL scoring list by setting up Brookbank's goal in the second period before scoring his 21st of the season from a sharp angle during a two-man advantage in the third. The 41-year-old Finnish Flash caught and passed Luc Robitaille with 1,395 points, and his 246th career power-play goal put him one behind Robitaille for fourth in league history.
Selanne is the second-oldest player in NHL history to score at least 21 goals in a season, trailing only Gordie Howe, who did it twice after his 41st birthday.
Patrick Kane ended the Blackhawks' monthlong 0-for-39 power-play drought with a first-period goal, and Ray Emery stopped 35 shots against his former Anaheim teammates in Chicago's third consecutive loss.
The Blackhawks have lost 12 of 16 overall, yet still sit comfortably in sixth place in the West, nine points ahead of Anaheim.
''It seems like sometimes when we get the lead, we're kind of satisfied with that,'' said Kane, who scored the Blackhawks' first power-play goal since Jan. 24. ''But we definitely have to keep the pressure on and try to extend the lead. After the first, they pretty much dominated us in the second and third and got a lot more shots than we did.''
The Blackhawks played their fourth straight game without captain Jonathan Toews, who is home in Chicago with an apparent concussion. Coach Joel Quenneville hopes Toews and defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson will return Wednesday against Toronto, but the Blackhawks struggled through a two-game Southern California road trip, losing 4-0 up the I-5 freeway in Los Angeles one night earlier.
''Offensively, we're not doing much right now,'' Kane said. ''We need some contributions from everyone. You can always say you need your best players to be your best players. That's something that we need to get better at, too, including myself.''
Cogliano tied it with 20 seconds left in the period, but only after the referees immediately waved off his goal. Cogliano clearly kicked the puck toward the net with his right skate, but a lengthy video review at the league offices in Toronto revealed Cogliano poked the puck through Emery's legs with his stick after Emery stopped the kick with his pads.
''I thought he kicked it and then maybe got a piece of it, or just kicked it straight in,'' said Emery, who backstopped Anaheim into the playoffs late last season. ''Either way, it shouldn't count. I know they took a tougher look at it, and they must have had some evidence to the contrary. But you've got to work past those things.''
Anaheim thoroughly controlled the second period, but wasn't rewarded until Selanne passed from behind the Chicago net to Brookbank, who fired it off Duncan Keith and past Emery. The goal was Brookbank's second in five games after playing 167 straight games without a goal.
NOTES: The Blackhawks have never swept Anaheim in a season series. ... Longtime Montreal captain Saku Koivu played his 200th game with the Ducks. ... Cogliano's score snapped a 12-game drought. ... The biggest regular-season crowd in Honda Center history welcomed the Ducks back from the road, with 17,601 tickets sold in a standing-room-only crowd.

Chapter 22: "Building and Sustaining Professional Collaborations: Using Japanese Lesson Study to Improve the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics." Joan Moss and Diane Tepylo (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto) and Richard Messina and Elizabeth Morley (Institute of Child Study Laboratory School, Toronto) chronicle the evolution of a professional learning community engaged in lesson study, the challenges it faced, and the innovations the group forged that sustained it over six years. The chapter then describes the design process of a single, representative grade 2 lesson developed by this learning community, and it concludes with reflections on factors that contributed to the sustainability of the lesson study groups.

So we have to draw it and then scan it correct?
Guapo Pinguino
nooba, no.. you do it on photoshop i think question: if i think sona looks like hatsune miku, and i allowed to draw them together? or if anivia looks like articuno, can i draw like.. ash catching anivia/articuno? or would that infringe upon copyrights or whatever..
Senior Member
The stupid kit wont do anything when i download it. I unzip it to a folder that i created and it wont do ****. how to fix??
You open the "kit" with photoshop.
here guys. I've extracted the main templates from that kit for you who don't have photoshop. I only did black and white cause I assume you guys will know how to change the color of the shirt if necessary. remember guys. this template is just for Jinx to reference how the design will look on the shirt , NOT THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION of your artwork
photoshop is free and pretty simple :P you can use the old version to open it up http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html scroll down to photoshop and download for mac/windows anyway, my question: are we supposed to draw our design on this shirt?? how do we submit it ._. do we submit the shirt color and on a separate file, our design? >.> i'm so confused. maybe i'll take another look at the instructions.. also, am i allowed to draw stuff like anivia as articuno, and ash(e) throwing a pokeball at it? or would that infringe upon copyright stoof.. already asked this and got no answer

Send a donation and give him his face back
Founded by surgeons, Les Enfants du Noma charity helps African children suffering from Noma, a disfiguring bacterial infection. The campaign makes a direct link between donations that people send and the surgical materiel required for operations. We see a surgical team desperately waiting to begin an operation, they cannot start before the postman arrives with donations and thus the necessary materiel.
Today more than ever people need to know what their donations are being used for. The agency adopted an original approach by focusing on the donations rather than the condition itself.
The association urgently needs financing. But times are tough so they needed a campaign to make people aware of the Noma disease and encourage them to donate money.

"Lovely cosy cottage in a perfect central location"
The Old Coach House is a lovely cottage, ideal base for the whole of the Peak District. My husband really appreciated that all the days out were about 30 minutes or less drive for him so he managed to relax. We are a family of 5 and comfortably stayed there for a week. The beds are really comfy which is a rare thing in old holiday cottages. Everything you need for a self catering holiday. We had a lovely warm welcome from Rosie, and met a few of her family who are equally lovely. We were even entertained by the cattle, wandering sheep and a cheeky kestrel that kept looking in the bedroom window!! If you are looking for a rustic holiday cottage with plenty of charm and character then The Old Coach House is perfect. Thank you Nigel

"Family Fun"
What a lovely welcoming cottage perfect for our family holiday. Our children (6&4) had a great time and played with all the toys and rode their bikes in the yard which was safe, the adjacent playing area/garden was a lovely place for the children to play.
The children thoroughly enjoyed collecting fresh eggs from the chickens and the family who live on the farm made us so welcome especially Rosie who made the holiday special.
A fantastic family friendly place in a lovely setting and a great base to explore lots of place - Matlock, Bakewell and Ashbourne. We will definitely be back. :-)

"A gem of a cottage in a perfect spot!"
A fantastic fortnight all round! The cottage is well-equipped with plenty of space inside and out for sitting and relaxing. The location was perfect for getting out and exploring the area - very peaceful and quite remote but with easy access to main routes. Friendly and accommodating hosts, who supplied fabulous fresh eggs. I would definitely return!

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Special desk
Special desk
The Signpost
Full Index |
In addition to publishing weekly sections like News and notes and WikiProject reports, the Signpost also communicates occasional "special reports", in-depth covers on developing stories, histories of projects, statistical reports, and other, similar, special pieces. This desk aims to be a space where we can corroborate such reports.
How it works[edit]
The Signpost has several desks for special articles: an interviews desk for interviews with other editors and prominent project contributors, and opinion desk for individual and group op eds, and a review desk for book reviews. The many articles that fall outside of the purview of these desks are sent here instead.
Please comment on submissions below: share ideas about how to improve pieces that catch your interest, make suggestions as to whether a given piece is ready for publication, or pitch ideas for future pieces.
Note that submissions should be kept relatively neutral. We ask that comments be kept constructive; if you are unclear on any of the process or have questions related thereto, feel free to use the talkpage.
Submission guidelines[edit]
Proposals should be listed in the Newsroom or on our talk page.
This is a new desk, and as such previously unrelated special reports are difficult to list completely. Here is a complete listing going back to December 2010:

I just found the series online and finished watching it. I can't wait till it comes on TV here in these backwater places. The premise for this series is that a cop is convicted wrongly an then he gets out after 12 years. 12 years of beatings in the prison for being an ex cop. Now out, he's back on the force. Just from that little snippet you might think you have it pegged down as to how he is really, and what the show is about and you would expect the series to follow some things like in other shows, but it's not. This is a new series that is rivetting to watch because of the lead character. Simply speaking, I'm wishing I had the second episode to see, because I'm going nuts here waiting to see what happens next. Review posted on Thursday, September 6th 2007 at 8:26 am |

I started watching Chuck and Life at the same time. The both started out good, but where Chuck failed to develop in an intelligent manner, Life is doing an excellent job. The plot developes intelligent and the charachers are great. If I ever will be arrested, can I request for Charlie Crews? Review posted on Tuesday, May 5th 2009 at 5:27 am |

We went there for a dinner. The ambiance and the service was good. We ordered 5 different sushis, an appetizer and a side dish. Especially sushis were very average. I don't think this is the best place for sushi.
One general problem was the vantilation system inside. There are open cooking systems at ~10 people tables. It is an open environment. And, while the chef cooking the food, the smoke was everywhere. Our clothes still smell barbeque steak sauce.

FINALLY, something to hold my phone up for me
I LOVED the concept of having something to hold up the phone while I'm driving so that I can see the maps, the other person on Skype, or the videos I'm playing on Youtube... etc and at the same time, charging the phone!!!
2 months after using this accessory, the charger started to become unstable. I had to unplug, troubleshoot, and make necessary adjustments to continue the charging of my phone. Then it finally just gave out. The problem was the little pin that the power cord plugs into somehow was pushed in (most likely from my attempts to "adjust" it after it became unstable); makes it no longer a charging accessory and merely holds my phone up for me.
It's still under warranty, I'm in process of getting it replaced.
it holds up the phone and can rotate with the phone to vertical or horizontal position while charging it
it also charges with a USB port for bluetooth headphone...
not sure if it's wear and tear, but the pin that the power cord plugs into was pushed into the unit and can no longer charge your phone

Forza Motorsport 3: Ultimate Collection Xbox 360 6 New from £17.98 Free delivery Available used from £9.24
4 Forza 3 Awesome game..ButPosted: 12/04/2011This has to be THE BEST racing sim currently on the market! It has all the indepth engine and car set-up fiddling that can keep you busy for hours to make this even better the game explains the tweaks for you and makes it easy to shave those few extra seconds off your laptime.I absolutely love the graphic creator and have made a dragon-age origins car and a variety of Disney characters which makes me chuckle everytime and although there is not many cosmetic modifications to the cars you really dont mind as the rest of the game is so deep and rewarding.The career has a HUGE variety of races which you can complete by racing through a career/season calendar which at the end of each month it lets you choose just 1 of 3 pre-determined events which i found dissapointing as i felt forced into racing out of my class too soon, I was happy with my fiat 500 F class car dont make me choose a class A event. You can get round this by just choosing from a huge event list but you dont get to do this with a season set-up on a calendar and gives it an empty feel :(Overal fantastic game and HUGE variety of cars!
