I was tired of my current red and gold rug. I wanted to lighten my living room up for the summer, and this rug did the trick. It instantly updated the look of the room by providing the blues/grays and a touch of orange that are so in right now. In terms of color, the photos are not very accurate. The part that is described as ivory and looks very beige on the picture is actually closer to a light gray. The blue background of the rug looks very teal/aqua in the pictures but is actually a cool light blue. Overall love the rug and what it did in my living room! Great price for the nice quality too.
Nice, inexpensive rug for a high traffic area. Colors are more muted than the look online. It's thick and seems like it will be durable. Only downfall so far has been feeling a number of the knots when you walking around. They are rough and even a bit sharp sometimes. A drag, but not a deal breaker. For the price I didn't expect super high end construction.
Wow, we really took a gamble with this one. We have a late 1700's house with a sunroom addition. Although the rest of the house is Period, The sunroom combines old with fresh and new. This rug tied it all together. It is pretty much as pictured. It has an oriental eclectic flair. The primary color is a Caribbean blue. I am not a blue fan, but this is quite attractive and almost relaxing. The rust is a true rust, not enough to be bothersome, the other accent colors are marigold, pale yellow, cocoa, and the border is light putty color. I know it sounds weird, but it works. There is also a bit of grey blue. During the day, in this sunny room, it is just the pick up this room needed. At night the colors are rich and muted. For the money, it is spot on fantastic. I may have to order the runner.
This is a good quality rug, that is why I gave it 3 stars. However I'm REALLY REALLY disappointed with the color. It's way darker and more traditional looking than the picture lets on. I thought it was going to be super funky and a cool statement rug for my home office but it's really pretty boring looking. The only thing holding me back from returning it was the hassle and really not even knowing how to return a rug of all things. Really annoyed though. I wish someone from Overstock would come to my house, take it, and give me my money back. Meh.
The color was very off. There is no Cream or ivory in this rug. The part that shows ivory is more of a grey blue. SO i didn't get thhat contrast that i saw in the picture. BUT i still loved it. The blues are really nice, the design is perfect, and it seems very high quality for the price. SO overall i kept it and am very satisfied. I only gave it 4 stars because, i feel the color is not represented correctly
This rug is very very blue. On the photo it appears to have a large cream border and an aqua center with a fine pattern. In reality the pattern is very chunky and the rug screams a loud aqua blue. It won't work for me, I have to return it, but if you need a very loud rug, this is the one.
I love this rug....classic but with a hint of modern. However the color is totally off. It looks like teal or aqua blue with hints of orange in the picture. However, it's a gray blue ...a little dirty blue with rusty pumkin orange. The colors are not sharp or crisp more on the muted side.
I purchased this rug for our family room. The colors are subtle and pretty and the style of the rug is traditional yet modern. I didn't want to have a rug that felt too traditional but I still wanted something to fit into our decor in our 1925 home. The colors are more muted than the photo (I knew this going in due to other reviews). The feel is very soft and it is thick. My only complaint is that the rug is still shedding, but I am sure this will stop soon. I would purchase this rug again.
The colors are definitely different in person. The blue is very prominent, and a darker more slate blue than the aqua in the photo. The ivory is more of a grayish color as well. That being said, I purchase this rug after reading reviews and I expected the colors to be different than the picture. I just purchased a light gray sofa, and this rug is fabulous with it. I was happy to bring some color into a room that had been dark with browns and burgundy. This rug absolutely did the trick. It looks like a very expensive rug, and is made primarily of wool. It is thick and comfortable to walk on, and looks like it will wear well. It is a great value - I would have expected to pay at least double what I paid, and probably more. I looked at rugs of lesser quality at ***** and the price was higher. If the colors work for you, this rug is a great deal!
I am very pleased with my purchase. This rug is very high quality, especially for the price. The colors are a little more muted than what is shown in the stock photo, however, I actually feel this makes the rug look better. It is very plush and heavy and ties my living room together nicely. Shipping was fast and free. With coupon aplenty, I am definitely an Overstock fan.

I have an ipod touch 4g and it's still on 5.1.1 because i don't know if the tweak music control pro works for ios6. I like this tweak because it allows me to play/pause my music on the lock screen by tapping the screen and also change the volume and track by swiping left/right or up and down. Could someone please let me know if this tweak still works with ios6 or if there is a new tweak that does the same thing.

Miley Cyrus: I Made History at the MTV VMAs
"I don't pay attention to the negative because I've seen this play out so many times," the former Disney star says of her detractors in an MTV News interview. "How many times have we seen this play out in pop music?"
"Madonna's done it. Britney's done it," she continues. "Every VMA performance, that's what you're looking for; you're wanting to make history."
Lest we forget, Madonna left tongues wagging after rolling around in a wedding gown for her iconic "Like A Virgin" performance at the 1984 VMAs. Britney followed suit in 2001, dancing with a boa constrictor to her "I'm a Slave 4 U." Then the two teamed up to really raise the bar in 2003, sharing an infamous kiss.
Even before taking the stage this year, Miley knew she would be joining the ranks of those stand-out VMA performances.
"Me and Robin the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now," she recalls.
"What's amazing is ... people are still talking about it. They're overthinking it," she adds. "You're thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it. Like, I didn't even think about it 'cause that's just me!"
Maybe now we can put the Miley talk to rest.

'Game of Thrones' Writer on Season 5 Pressures: 'I'm Terrified' (Q&A)
Bryan Cogman tells THR of penning the HBO hit: "It's not until you see it air with an audience who enjoys it that you can finally relax."
[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, "The Laws of Gods and Men."]
Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman has knocked some of the series' most difficult scenes out of the park, most recently with Sunday's trial of Tyrion.
He also has the distinction of penning the first script to go significantly beyond the books -- with an explosive episode revealing just what the White Walkers have been doing with Craster's babies.
PHOTOS: Joffrey's 10 Most Evil Moments
But those successes wouldn't be possible without a dose (or two) of worry.
"I'm terrified all the time. You're talking to me now as we're writing season five and I'm at the stage where I think everything is going to be terrible," Cogman tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I go through all seven stages of whatever a writer goes through. I'm a wreck when I'm writing the show. It's not until you see it air with an audience who enjoys it that you can finally relax."
Here Cogman talks writers' jitters, Theon's standout season and getting Tyrion's trial right.
Where did "Do you love me Reek?" in the bathtub scene come from?
In the book, there's a scene where Theon has been cleaned up. So that led to us thinking we should show the cleanup. It shows Theon's physical mutilation has already happened, but the psychological mutilation continues. "Do you love me Reek?" is one of my favorite things because there is so much behind the question and it tells you a lot about Ramsay and how Ramsay defines love. It's not directly from the books but it's definitely inspired by the books.
And you have another bathtub seen with Davos and Salladhor Saan.
One of the reasons for setting Salladhor Saan and the courtesans in the bath is because it's sort of an elemental thing. A bath is when you're most at ease, but it's also when you're most vulnerable. The same thing dictated the Theon bath scene. It created this very intimate and all the more terrifying encounter.
PHOTOS: 'Game of Thrones': 20 Best Quotes
What's your take on Yara leaving Theon?
She realizes she is the future of her house and she can die there with Theon or fight another day. And the fact that Ramsay is letting her live says a lot. He could kill her, but he chooses not to because it's more fun for him.
Alfie Allen (Theon) has had an amazing season. Did you realize how good he was back in season one?
In my mind, Alfie Allen is one of the unsung heroes in the show. He was cast off a great audition, but Theon in the first season was a background character. He's one of those characters George (R.R. Martin) introduces and then in season two you see things from his point of view. We were casting Alfie and Theon for season two and beyond. Alfie brought so much humanity to the role right off the bat and had such a screen presence with Richard Madden (Robb). The brotherly relationship between Theon and Robb are there in the books but we definitely upped the storyline.
PHOTOS: Daenerys' 10 Fiercest Moments
And Theon has been through a lot now.
The scenes are very difficult to watch and they are meant to be. It (season three's torture) was very controversial and I don't think it worked for everybody, but I applaud (showrunners) David (Benioff) and Dan (Weiss) for going there. Now you're starting to see the method behind Ramsay's madness and how he's going to use Theon for his own ends and how Theon's transformation is affecting other characters in this world, including Yara.
How fun was writing that trial scene?
While it was tremendously fun to play with the courtroom genre, the danger was you don't want it to become a spoof of itself. "Game of Thrones does Law and Order!" It was about making it familiar as a courtroom drama but also making it Game of Thrones.
You got to relive some of Tyrion's greatest zingers.
Dan and David were adamant that most the testimony against Tyrion be basically true. In one draft, I had characters making up a lot more false testimony. The guys said very wisely "No, no, no. Go back and find nuggets from the past." The tremendously satisfying thing about writing it is it's basically the climax of the Lannister family drama that these characters have been embroiled in for decades.
PHOTOS: 'Game of Thrones'' Most Gruesome Deaths
The scene plays out in looks among the Lannisters. It was beautifully played by all the actors and beautifully directed by Alik (Sakharov). Jaime doesn't say a word during the trial, but Nikolaj (Coster-Waldau) can play so much with his looks or a nod of the head. That was something very conscious in the scripting of the scene.
Do you get nervous writing something as iconic as the trial?
I'm terrified all the time. You're talking to me now as we're writing season five and I'm at the stage where I think everything is going to be terrible. I go through all seven stages of whatever a writer goes through. I'm a wreck when I'm writing the show. It's not until you see it air with an audience who enjoys it that you can finally relax.
How has writing the show changed for you since you started?
At this point I know how to write these characters in terms of their voices. It's been years of living with them and not only that, but living with the actors and playing to their strengths. It's no longer Cersei Lannister, it's Lena Headey's Cersei Lannister. I think the series gets stronger because the actors get more comfortable as well. The guys have been very generous over the last four seasons in trusting me with some big scenes.
What is your take on Daenerys in this episode? Is it accurate to say she's learning that ruling can be quite boring?
I don't now if boring is the right word. It's certainly exhausting to hear all of her supplicants. It's also that she saw the world in black and white for a very long time, and it's starting to look a lot grayer and she's going to need to learn how to deal with that. Its one of the great elements of George's story and it's something we really want to explore in the series and will continue to explore—that the story doesn't end when you storm the castle.
For more from Cogman, check out his appearance on the Game of Thrones fan podcast Game of Owns.
Stay tuned to THR.com/GoT on Friday, when we'll have a preview of Sunday's episode with director Alik Sakharov.

When your name is Beyonce Knowles, you have no rules. Why? Because you are the G.O.A.T. and because you set the bar so high that dates like 12/13/13 will go down in history. At midnight, Beyonce dropped her fifth album titled, Beyonce. It features 14 new songs and a music video to accompany each. She said that she wanted people to see what she sees when she creates, so she gave it to us. Oh, and don't try to buy the singles because you can't. It's all or nothing, so go all in an enter the BeyHive!

A look inside a mobile medical clinic
28 January 2015 – On 11 December 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Food Programme (WFP) delivered eight mobile medical clinics to Erbil. These urgently needed clinics were immediately deployed to parts of Iraq and the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The vehicles have been purpose-built to address the health needs of displaced populations residing in places with limited access to health care services – in camps, informal settlements and urban areas across the country. The clinics were made possible through the support of the Government of Saudi Arabia and are the first of their kind to be brought to Iraq to accelerate response efforts.

Dragon Fruit |
(6 reviews) |
This could very well be the Kiwi of the future. It is an incredible example of beauty and taste that will delight your senses.
Also known as the Pitaya in the Southern Americas as well as Asia is quickly become known here in the United States. .South Florida being as close to the equator as you can get seems to be the perfect growing area for this incredible fruit. We have been working on this item for quite a few years and is now making its way from the fancier restaurants to peoples homes. With a growing season from June to late December there is plenty of time to get your hands on this beauty.
High in vitamin C , they are rich in phosphorus and calcium and are free radical fighters known to contain phytoalbumin antioxidants and also have been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. I know for a fact my wife, from Costa Rica, eats them regularly and they for sure help her with stomach ails. There is something to be said about a medicinal way of life.
Best served chilled, I like to make melon balls from them. You eat the flesh and seeds inside skin by cutting the fruit in half first. The flavor is mild and refreshing - a cross between a Kiwi and Watermelon. If you want to kick it up a notch try drizzling my Golden Passion fruit on it for a wow factor! Dragon fruit Martini's are in. Makes a wonderful juice as well. Sorbets and ice cream are being done and Bacardi has even launched a new rum flavor with dragon fruit. the future of the fruit is bright
Due to the unusually hot summer, shipping highly perishable fruit is more tricky than usual Some fruit is arriving over-ripe. If you have an issue with your order, please call me. I pack every box myself, and want you to be happy with your fruit!
Fresh Gardens are growers and shippers of rare tropical fruits. Many items you may have never heard of, and that is what makes them so exciting. Most have been brought from South and central America and Asia. Although well known in those areas very few know of them here in the United States. That's my job as a grower of these items: to excite and get you into trying these exotic tropical fruit for the first time!
There are only a few areas in the United states these are grown and The Redland which is a 100 year plus historic agricultural growing region is one. We are south of Miami in Homestead just before you enter the Keys. You are invited to visit our farm for free as a tropical fruit of the month customer. We grow for you!!

A journalist we know who writes for a design magazine quoted another journalist who doesn't like the taillamps on the
ME Four-Twelve, which consist of 96 LEDs. "It's a rash," she said. While we don't often quote journalists quoting other journalists, the criticism highlights the pitfalls of introducing a super/sports car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit: Until we drive it this summer we have little to go by other than styling.
Chrysler understands this pitfall. Before the car could expose itself to public and critical scrutiny at Detroit, its automaker provided an impressive volume of technical and design information on it. We offered a first taste of it here last month, but felt it worth a longer look in advance of that first ride.
Enthusiasts will be impressed by the earnestness of Chrysler's audacious mission--dreaming up and building the kind of car that normally comes only from Italy or England.
demonstrated the notion of an American mid-engine exotic a few years back, but to date, the V-12-powered Cien remains just an idea. Another example that finally did make it to market is the $400,000 Saleen S7. The $140,000 Ford GT is certain to be a hit. Which path will the ME Four-Twelve follow? The name, by the way, stands for Mid-Engine Four (turbo) Twelve (cylinders).
We'd all take the ME Four-Twelve more seriously if it had a Mercedes badge, but an 850-horsepower, quad-turbo V-12 is always fun.
Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler Group chief operating officer and former AMG CEO, was a leading force behind the car's development. Last year's interesting but useless Tomahawk "was a design statement. This is an engineering statement," Bernhard says. The ME's AMG-developed 6.0-liter V-12 has an aluminum block and heads, two throttle valves, four catalysts, and dry-sump oiling. Each turbo has an intercooler, and boost is 1.4 bar, or roughly 20 psi. Compression ratio is 9.0:1. Its 850 horsepower was measured during extensive dyno testing in Germany, and its 850 pound-feet of torque is good from 2000 to 6000 rpm. "We started with an engine, and allowed no compromises to the engine whatsoever as we built a car around it," Bernhard explains. The quad-turbo V-12 is backed by a paddle-shifted seven-speed Ricardo double-clutch transaxle.
On paper, the ME has a better power-to-weight ratio than any other supercar. The exotic powerplant makes one horsepower for every 3.4 pounds, versus Chrysler's projections of 3.9 pounds for the McLaren (
) F1, 4.1 for the Bugatti Veyron, 4.2 for the Ferrari Enzo, 5.4 for the (also AMG V-12-powered) Pagani Zonda, and 6.6 for the
GT. When it came time to design a body around this impressive powerplant, Chrysler wanted a structure that met and exceeded all crash standards and built in modules to make repair not only possible, but easy. The monocoque tub is aluminum honeycomb and carbon fiber, and bodywork is carbon fiber. Crush structures are aluminum and the subframes are chrome-moly. Chrysler says this prototype's overall weight is just 2860 pounds (roughly the same as a Honda S2000).
The Four-Twelve's racecar-like front and rear suspensions consist of unequal-length aluminum control arms, horizontally opposed coil-over dampers with electronically controlled compression and rebound tuning, stainless-steel pushrods, and a blade-configured anti-roll bar. The 36.0-foot turning circle is tight for a supercar like this. Brakes are 15.0-inch ventilated carbon ceramic composite discs (for low unsprung weight) with six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers. Cast-aluminum wheels are 19-by-10.0-inch front, 20-by-12.5-inch rear.
We applaud
for not falling into the retro trap, although design chief Trevor Creed admits that the company has nothing like this in its past from which to draw heritage cues. It's a looker, but we feel there's too much going on with this car's surface, from its busy profile to its Crossfire-like hood strakes, although the overall shape and proportions are arresting.
Last month, we told the qualified readers among you to run to your Chrysler dealer and place an order on this thing, so that it gets built. Under the harsh reality of reason, we're calling you back. As impressive as all this technology is, the ME Four-Twelve is not Chrysler's in spirit or reality, and it doesn't fit Chrysler's position in the market. A summer drive may convince us otherwise, but, for now, we can't help but think that, at best, we're looking at the powerplant for another Mercedes supercar, disguised by attention-grabbing Chrysler show-car sheetmetal. No matter, it sure is cool.

Deakin Speaking is a blog for Deakin University's academics to provide diverse and robust opinion and comment arising from their key areas of expertise as well as about issues and contemporary news in their areas of interest within society as a whole. We hope you find the commentary interesting, informative and insightful.
This is a moderated blog and publication of responses is at the moderator's discretion. As a guide, responses should not be obscene, offensive, defamatory, infringe copyright, or intended to upset others. They should not be anonymous or be used as a vehicle for marketing or sending resumes! Comments submitted for publication on this blog site may be edited accordingly.
Please note Deakin commentators on this site make posts in their own right and do not represent the University as its official spokesperson on any particular matter.
The execution in Indonesia of six death row prisoners early last Sunday, including five foreigners, convicted of drug smuggling and the refusal by president Joko Widodo to grant clemency from the death penalty for Myuran Sukumaran has cast into sharp relief his likely fate and that of fellow death row prisoner Andrew Chan.
Chan's appeal for clemency has not yet been decided by President Widodo but, consistent with his decision on Sukumaran, he has said that he will not grant clemency to convicted drug smugglers.
Widodo, or 'Jokowi' as he is better known, came to the Indonesian presidency last year as a reformist and with what was understood to be a human rights agenda. Human rights advocates in Indonesia have been dismayed by his refusal to grant clemency in death row cases.
From Jokowi's perspective, however, there are two issues driving him in these cases. Both are compelling, if for different reasons, and both play against Australian calls for clemency.
The first issue is that Jokowi came to office on a clear 'reform' platform, which includes both respect for the rule of law and opposition to interference in the judicial process. Indonesia's judiciary has long been regarded as compromised by special interests, including political pressure, so Jokowi's refusal to involve himself in judicial matters is consistent with his view of reform.
As a country which opposes the death penalty on principle, Australia's government is obliged to seek clemency on behalf of its citizens. Australia's political leaders, including Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, have done so, no doubt sincerely, but knowing their chances of success are limited.
As importantly, the death penalty applies equally to Indonesian citizens as foreigners, and any sense that there should be an inconsistency on this basis is repugnant to many Indonesians. In particular, many Indonesians' often well-developed sense of national pride would be deeply offended by any such a double-standard.
Jokowi is not only sensitive to this, but also sensitive to the fact that Indonesia's legislature, the DPR, is overwhelmingly stacked with his opponents. If he wishes to proceed with his reform agenda, he will require the DPR's cooperation.
Many DPR members are focusing closely on Jokowi's public acts and would be quick to pounce if there was even a hint of a double-standard. Indeed, there is even a chance that Jokowi could be impeached, as happened to one of his predecessors, president Abdurrahman Wahid. Public pressure within Indonesia, then, while often not explicit, is great.
How Australia represents its case for clemency is also critical. If Australia's appeal is too private then it can be dismissed without much ado. For Australia's domestic audience, too, the Australian Government would be seen to be doing too little for Australian citizens facing execution.
However, if Australian representations are too strong, it could engender a nationalist backlash. This would have the effect of further compelling Jokowi to reject any call for clemency that he might otherwise have been considering.
Australia's political leaders know there is little they can realistically do to alter the circumstances that Sukumaran and Chan now find themselves in. The only hope, such as it is, is that at this stage Chan's appeal for presidential clemency has not yet been rejected.
Indonesia's practice is that, when more than one person is sentenced to death for the same offence, the penalty is carried out simultaneously. Sukumaran last opportunity for appeal has failed, but Chan has not yet been notified of the same outcome. While Chan remains alive, so does Sukumaran.
However, if and when Chan's appeal for clemency is rejected by the president, the process will move relatively quickly. Probably within weeks, the pair will be given three days notification of their execution in order to finalise any outstanding business. They will then be taken to an execution ground and shot by a 12 man firing squad.
Despite the crimes for which Sukumaran and Chan have been convicted, there is a sense shared by many that the impersonal process of the state - any state - taking someone's life is bureaucratically grotesque. Yet, as various foreign ministers and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have consistently said over many years, Australians overseas will always be subject to the laws on the countries they are in, up to and including the death penalty.
It is little comfort that Sukumaran and Chan's experience is serving as a stark object lesson to others who might be contemplating drug trafficking. It has been a decade since the last Australian, Van Tuong Nguyen, was executed for drug trafficking in Singapore. That death came 12 years after Australian Michael McAuliffe was killed in Malaysia.
It seems, with the passage of time, that such lessons are too easily forgotten. It is likely, however, that Australia will soon be reminded.
Islam is a superstitious, antiquated belief system, its prophet spoke to imaginary voices in his head and its god is a figment of an ignorant imagination. I might believe this statement to be true, or I might not. Christianity is a superstitious, antiquated belief system, its prophet spoke to imaginary voices in his head and its god is a figment of an ignorant imagination. I might also believe this statement to be true, or I might not. And so on for each religion and, differing only in detail, for any other belief system or ideology.
What is important in these statements is not that I necessarily believe them, that they are objectively true or even that they are rational. What is important about these statements is that I be free to make them.
When three Islamist terrorists murdered 12 people and wounded 11 others at the office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, they were attacking this most fundamental principle of human rights. If all human rights are deemed as equal, as they are usually claimed to be, then freedom of speech is first among those equals.
Speech, or language, as a reflection of our ability to think, is the defining quality of being human. Speech is fundamental to our ability to express desires, fears, needs, concerns and, at the juncture of these qualities, views, values and opinions. That this has become fundamental to liberal democratic society is but a development of its own prior logic; freedom of speech necessarily implies a plural, tolerant political system.
In this, human rights are predicated upon the quality of being human, not being the citizen of a particular country or the adherent, or even respecter, of a particular faith. In this, freedom of speech is especially elevated among human rights in that it is both; it reflects freedom to express oneself on matters of interest or importance, and it reflects freedom from censorship, control and subservience.
Without such freedom of speech, such religions that exist would be allowed only by the arbitrary whim of a particular holder of sufficient power. So too for political views and expressions of culture, as well as more mundane concerns such as taste and preference. Those who try to shut down freedom of expression seek, by their own logic, to shut down even their own conversation.
The magazine Charlie Hebdo had, and will continue to have, its own special place pricking the over-inflated egos, beliefs and opinions of many. It will offend and it will annoy. As well as to entertain, that is its job. Such an exercise is a necessary curative for all the pompousness, self-importance and, often, ridiculousness that characterizes a large part of the world in which we live.
Part of that deflating exercise includes making fun of organized religion, which in turn includes Islam. Indeed, it is the more extreme iterations of Islam, such as that propagated by Salafi jihadists, which is most in need of deflating. That this interpretation of Islam regards violence as legitimate only further highlights the need to satirise it.
The attack on Charlie Hebdo, then, was not, as one of the attackers claimed, 'avenging the prophet'. It was not even an attack on democracy, as claimed by some political leaders. The attack on Charlie Hebdo was an attack on the very condition of being human.
As for the proposition about belief systems, re-phrasing Voltaire, I may – or may not – believe what I say. But as a human I, and everyone else, have the right to say it. To shy away from that is to let terrorism win.
The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that left almost a quarter of a million people dead and led to the world's largest emergency aid program had a profound impact on two wars being fought in the region.
In Aceh, Indonesia, it contributed to the end of three decades of bloody conflict; in Sri Lanka, the tsunami ultimately led to the deaths of tens of thousands.
In Aceh, the Free Aceh movement (Gam) had been fighting the Indonesian government for a separate state. Gam retreated to the mountains following a declaration of martial law in 2002 and the escalation of the war by the Indonesian military.
In Sri Lanka, The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, better known as the Tamil Tigers, had similarly been fighting for a separate state in the north of the country. As a result of a 2002 Norwegian-brokered ceasefire, they managed to establish a semi-autonomous zone in the north of the country, but both the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan government had withdrawn into increasingly hard line positions.
A dispute over whether tsunami emergency aid funds should be autonomously administered by the Tamil Tigers in their area of control meant that already high levels of distrust were further entrenched. Shaky movement towards a negotiated settlement drifted.
By contrast, in Aceh, Gam declared a unilateral ceasefire. There was a sense that assisting the people to rebuild had to take priority. The newly elected Yudhoyono administration put out feelers towards a possible resolution.
While opposing groups in Sri Lanka squabbled and retreated from each other, the international community applied pressure to both Gam and the Indonesian government to find a way forward.
Aceh's peace talks began in Helsinki in January 2005 and, over the next six months, worked towards a compromise in which Aceh could have a high degree of political and economic autonomy if it remained within Indonesia. Indonesia's own democratisation was hugely important to this, with the principle of local political representation clinching the deal.
With only animosity in Sri Lanka, the Tamil Tigers made the fatal error of stopping Tamils from voting in the 2005 presidential elections, which saw Mahinda Rajapaksa achieve the slimmest of victories, of 50.29%. Had Tamils voted, the more amenable Ranil Wickremesinghe would likely have won and negotiations could have resumed.
Rajapaksa's victory ensured that a return to confrontation was all but inevitable. The Tamil Tigers own leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, was equally combative, retaining unrealistic faith in the Tiger's ability to defeat the numerically superior government forces.
As late as 2007, there remained a chance for a negotiated settlement in Sri Lanka, but this ended when government forces resumed their attacks. By early 2009, the Tamil Tigers had been routed, at the cost of some 40,000 lives, with Sri Lanka's ethnic division continuing as a running sore in the country's body politic.
In Aceh, meanwhile, post-tsunami rebuilding continued, and the province assumed something approximating normalcy for the first time in the modern era. The peace agreement led to local elections, comfortably won by former Gam combatants.
The devastation caused by the tsunami created organisational, economic and political pressure in two deeply troubled regions. In one, these pressures highlighted differences, drove opposing sides apart and ultimately led to a further human catastrophe; in the other it pushed opposing sides to seek compromise.
The outcome in Sri Lanka has since served as a model for how to militarily crush a separatist movement, but remains globally deplored by human rights advocates. The outcome in Aceh has, by contrast, been viewed as a model for using democracy to achieve peace.
The 2004 tsunami created two choices for achieving a genuine peace in the areas it affected. Only one of them can be said to have been successful.
The Productivity Commission raised a few eyebrows when it called for an additional A$200 million for legal assistance services to disadvantaged Australians, who are "more susceptible to, and less equipped to deal with, legal disputes".
In justifying its unusual call for this significant funding injection, the commission's report, which was tabled in parliament last week, found:
… numerous studies show that efficient government-funded legal services generate net benefit to the community.
Behind this headline call is a detailed final report of more than 1000 pages. It makes 83 recommendations to improve access to justice in Australia.
In my previous post on Deakin Speaking, I commented on 10 years of involvement - as a student, judge and coach - with the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna, and the Vis (East) Moot in Hong Kong. In that post, I foreshadowed three further contributions to Deakin Speaking, addressing the Vis Moot. This is the first of those contributions - Deakin (Students) Speaking - on the topic of practical legal skills training and the Vis Moot.
On Wednesday 5 November 2014, students from the Deakin Law School commenced their preparations for the 2014 / 2015 Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna, and its sister competition - the Vis (East) Moot in Hong Kong. Deakin Law School has a distinguished history in the event - taking part each year, in both Vienna and Hong Kong, that it has run. This year's event, however, has personal significance as well - marking a decade of my own involvement, in various forms. Having taken part as a student, judged practice rounds for the Deakin Law School for two years, and now coaching my seventh season - what might one say, on reflection, about 10 years with the Vis Moot?
The recent killing of 21-year-old Melbourne University student Joshua Hardy is another tragic story of unprovoked, alcohol-fuelled male violence in our community. It is an issue that has animated significant debate in politics and the media in recent years and has motivated the introduction of a range of criminal justice and licensing reforms nationally.
In the wake of Hardy's death, questions have again arisen about what the victim could have done to prevent the use of lethal violence. For example:
Shadow immigration spokesman Richard Marles' thought bubble on the success of the Federal Government's "turn back the boats" policy on Sunday has raised the prospect of bipartisan unity on a policy that has angered Australia's large near neighbour, Indonesia.
The appointment of a career diplomat, Retno Marsudi, as Indonesia's new foreign minister is only likely to formalise Indonesia's opposition to Australia's controversial asylum seeker policy.
Indonesia's previous foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, was blunt in his criticism of Australia's policy of turning back asylum seekers attempting to leave Indonesia for Australian waters. He was especially forthright about the issue when it included Australian ships entering Indonesian territorial waters.

Timor-Leste's prime minister, Xanana Gusmão, has deferred his decision to step down as his country's leader until April 2015. He had announced earlier this year that he intended to leave office firstly in September, then in October. He has since said that he wishes to stay on to oversee negotiations with Australia over a resolution to the Timor Sea dispute.

Find a job in Hawaii
Millions of people throughout the world dream to come to Hawaii. We get many emails daily from people from around the world asking us how to find a job in Hawaii. So we decided we should explain how this is possible and if you are one of these people, you need to read this.
How to find a job in Hawaii for US citizens
Hawaii's warm climate and tropical beauty makes it dream place to live and work for many US citizens. However, the high demand of jobs in Hawaii makes employers pay less compared to US mainland employers. The average salary in Hawaii is between $30,000 to $50,000 a year, and approximatetly 20% of that is substracted for federal and state taxes. Knowing this, have in mind Hawaii is one of the most expensive places in US to live. A small one-bedroom apartment runs between $1200-$1600 per month in Honolulu, where most of the Hawaii jobs are. Food expenses for two people are a minimum of $1000 per month.
Jobs with best pay
The best paid jobs in Hawaii are in the fields of the medical industry, law firms and military and government jobs. If your job is in one of those industries you can make around $100,000 or more per year.
Jobs with lowest pay
Service jobs pay little in Hawaii, such as cashiers, tour desk assistants, receptionists, fast food workers, etc. The average pay for service jobs is between $8 to $10 per hour.
Waiters, maids, taxi drivers, tour bus guides also make about $8 to $10 per hour, but depending on where they work their tips can go up to $300 or more a day. Best places to make big tips are busy hotels and restaurants where there is a big turnover of people and guests.
Where to look for jobs in Hawaii
One of the most popular places to look for a job in Hawaii is Craigslist. Also daily jobs are posted on the websites of Hawaii's main newspaper, the the Star Advertiser. If you are serious about finding a job in Hawaii you may also consult with a local job agency.
Work environment
Many jobs in Hawaii feel more casual and laid back than on mainland US. Many companies don't have a strict dress code and going to work with Aloha attire is very common. Because of Hawaii's multicultural environment, you will meet people from all over the world, mainly from Japan, China, Philippines and Korea.
How to find a job in Hawaii for foreign citizens
Hawaii is a US state and US working regulations are very strict. People who are not US citizens or green card holders need a valid work visa to work in Hawaii. There are two main types of work visas – Investor visa and H1B visa. Most of the foreign people try to obtain an H1B visa.
H-1B visa to work in Hawaii
According to the US government: H-1B classification applies to persons in a specialty occupation which requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge requiring completion of a specific course of higher education. This classification requires a labor attestation issued by the Secretary of Labor (65,000). This classification also applies to Government-to-Government research and development, or co-production projects administered by the Department of Defense (100).
In other words, to get an H-1B visa you need to have a specialty occupation which is in high demand in the US. Then you must have an employer who is willing to sponsor you and pay you a prevailing wage (which is required for all H-1B workers).
H-1B is difficult to get and once you get it, it is valid for 3 years, after which it can be renewed for another 3 years. After that you can apply for a green card.
Important note: If you lose your job while you are in H-1B status, you need to find a new employer within 10 business days who will be willing to sponsor you and pay you a prevailing wage. If you are unable to find a new employer, you will have to leave the US.
As we mentioned prior, Hawaii jobs pay less than the same type of jobs on the US mainland,; therefore, it might be challenging to find an employer in Hawaii who pays the prevailing wage. In case you lose your job while in Hawaii you may want to consider getting a job on the mainland US until you get a green card and have the chance to come back to Hawaii.
What other options are available?
If you can't get an H-1B visa, there is another way how you can work in Hawaii. Come here as a student! Foreign students with an F-1 visa are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week in Hawaii after 9 months of their arrival in the US. This can be arranged through the school. If you need a job immediately you don't need to wait for 9 months to pass by. You can get a job on campus (up to 20 hours a week) but keep in mind that usually campus jobs pay very little – about $7-8 per hour, which is not enough to cover basic expenses.
After you graduate from your school you will be given a one-year work permit to work in the US (OPT-Optional Practical Training). If you have a science, technology or mathematics degree (i.e. computer technologies) you will be able to extend your OPT for another 17 more months, while before your one year is over.

Veiled Revelations by erikthephantom
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 514]
Summary: The Hogwarts Express brings mystery and mischief in the Marauders' seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter are facing a year of N.E.W.T.s, romance, intrigue, and, of course, a little mischief-making. There are plot twists galore! James (in the midst of saving the world) continues desperately to try to woo the incorrigible Lily Evans. Sirius deals with family problems while dealing with his incredible popularity and good looks (the horror!). Remus is provided with a backdoor to avoiding the prejudices of the inevitable real world, but at what cost? (dun-dun-dun) And Peter...well, Peter gets himself a girlfriend (but don't worry: it doesn't affect his hero-worshipping of James...or DOES IT?!)
Summary: Harry is home, Sirius is dead and Harry has a long summer ahead to worry about the prophecy. He meets a stranger, learns more about his parents and develops a plan to overcome Voldemort. This is a complete novel-length story. I think you'll find this a gripping tale to the very end. Reviewers on other sites have given this a 10 out of ten.

THIS MONTH WE MADE PILGRIMAGES of the palate and headed for dinners at a nearly extinct species of restaurant, the kind where the chef is owner, king and wizard, where the bureaucracy is gone from the kitchen and where the meal is the thing.
Our first stop is at Foulard's Media, an intimate theater in which an appreciative audience samples the creations of a master chef, Foulard, who reigns and performs in a capsule kitchen behind a tiny window looking out on the diners. Both he and the audience are serious about the business of eating; few of the customers (save an occasional misguided soul) are in for a quick bite before a ball game.
Foulard himself is not chained to the stove, the salaried servant of a New York franchise, but is the raison d'etre of the restaurant. His career began with an apprenticeship in Nantes and has carried him from griddle to griddle in Paris, Miami, Chicago and Houston. You may have recognized his culinary flair during the past decade at Soulari's (the previous tenant of what is now Rudi's on Post Oak), the Petroleum Club, Tony's, at his own establishment in the River Oaks Tower and now at Foulard's Media. Here at the Media, clad in white hat and apron, he often greets guests, helps with menu selections and visits tables for accolades at the end of the meals. Between times, he mans the pans and applies the heat, cooking each order in a kitchen not much bigger than an entrance hall.
The remarkable menu comes in a black loose-leaf notebook and is entirely handwritten. It contains sections devoted to appetizers, lunches, sandwiches, dinners and desserts. At dinner everything is a la carte and cooked to order. You'll find no thaw-'n-serve dishes from the local restaurant supply house at the Media. At lunch the same menu is used with the addition of some luncheon specials.
Foulard is basically an inventive French cook. He uses his culinary artistry to perform amazing saucery and leaves his perional touch on even the most standard French fare. His oysters Rockefeller bear only slight resemblance to the familiar oyster-and-spinach combination. Served in individual ramikins, each oyster is bathed in a sauce redolent of butter, garlic and parsley—almost oysters Bourguignonne, a masterful treatment. Escargots are also offered in ramikins rather than the usual shells. This manner of presentation is a boon to the diner, since not one delicious garlicky dribble escapes. Unfortunately this dish is severely handicapped by the lack of decent bread for sopping—an unforgivable sin in an establishment of French persuasion. For a more subtle beginning, try crepes Foulard, delicate seafood crepes assembled at your table and sauced with sherry. French gooseliver pate and terrine de fois gras aux truffles ($5.50 a whack—a good rooting pig is expensive in these days of inflation) are other dishes in Foulard's repertoire.
The list of entrees is long and varied. Steaks and seafood are included but are not the main drawing card. The section to zero in on is "from the saucier." Here, where the sauce is the thing, Foulard is in his element. He presents an array of veal dishes unequaled in these parts (beginning at $7.75). Veal 1970 consists or pale, thin slices of veal—the kind you can't find at your local supermarket—cooked to perfection with mushrooms in a lemon sauce. This simple but sublime offering has our vote as the dinner winner. Several other tempting veal variations include mushroom, pepper, tomato and even beer-based sauces. Green pepper steak (beef laden with sweet green peppers in a sherry sauce) is another interesting dish. Pork chop Strausbourgeoise, a thick tender chop topped with sweet kraut and a slab of rich pate is a surprising and successful combination. The Duckling 1972 is moist and orangy but on one occasion lacked the crisp skin that ordinarily gives this dish textural interest. Steak Diane is nicely sauced and spectacularly flamed at your table by the maitre'd, but it can be had in many other places where Foulard's veal dishes and delicate sauces would give the chef tremons.
Anyone with a notch left in his belt may want a final flame fling. Choose from crepes Suzette, petit baba, cherries jubilee, or coupes—ice cream served with one of several special sauces. The frozen Media is Foulard's version of a brandy freeze but has on occasion been less than properly smooth.
The final spectacular of the evening is the bill. But remember the old adage "It costs only 85 per cent more to go first class."
As a consolation to those who do have to ask how much it costs to run a yacht, there's lunch, or an after-the-theater treat. The omelets, especially the one filled with fresh mushrooms, and the combination with ham, mushrooms, cheese and onions, are superb and cooked by the same deft hand that turns out those expensive creations at night. Foulard also compiles a rare assortment of sandwiches, most in the $2.25-$2.50 range, that come with the soup of the day.
ON SOUTH COLLEGE AVENUE IN BRYAN we pull into the parking lot of what looks for all the world like an abandoned drive-in. We park under the curb service awning and head for the building described in neon light as The Texan. Undaunted by the seedy exterior, we enter a 1950-hamburger heaven made habitable by candlelight, black paint and partitions. We didn't drive two hours to get a hot dog and root beer, in spite of appearances. Neither did the owners of the Mercedes, Lincolns and Volkswagen buses in the lot. We are a part of a growing group of Texas gastronomes (and a few inverse snobs) who are aware that here in Bryan—where chicken fried steak, burgers and shakes once ran rampant—live lobster, tempura, quail with white grapes and flaming guavas are now the regular fare.
The Merlin responsible for the culinary magic performed here is an extraordinary character who rivals George Plimpton in experience, Hans Christian Andersen in imagination, Ralph Nader in quality control and certainly Foulard in culinary

Oct-1-en-3-one (CH2=CHC(=O)(CH2)4CH3), also known as 1-octen-3-one, is the odorant that is responsible for the typical metallic smell of metals and blood coming into contact with skin.[1] Oct-1-en-3-one has a strong metallic mushroom-like odor with an odor detection threshold of 0.03 - 1.12 µg/m³ and it is the main compound responsible for the "smell of metal", followed by decanal (smell: orange skin, flowery) and nonanal (smell: tallowy, fruity).[2] Oct-1-en-3-one is the degradative reduction product of the chemical reaction of skin lipid peroxides and Fe2+. Skin lipid peroxides are formed from skin lipid by oxidation, either enzymatically by lipoxygenases or by air oxygen. Oct-1-en-3-one is a ketone analog of the alkene 1-octene.
Natural occurrences[edit]
It is produced by Uncinula necator, a fungus that causes powdery mildew of grape.

At the other end of the scale, more experienced flyers will know how to properly maiden and fly a new model. They have the requisite skills to recognise what action is required for a given situation. Thus, more graduated ratings would be of little use. As for the ratings of the beast etc, keep in mind that the ratings only cover basic flight and aerobatics and so on aren't covered. A beast with the recommended low rates would be appropriate for a third plane after say the micro t-28. Cheers - boingk |

Dunno... I'm self-taught on the Super Cub, it's super-easy to fly (10 years ago I tried with a Firebird XL, and THAT was not pretty... and I heard good things about that plane). I will agree it doesn't "do" wind well. The only real prang I've had with mine was due to flying in too much wind.
I should clarify - I'm still very much a newbie... I've recently started doing circuits with a T-28D, but that's still a bit nerve-wracking. |

Unless my old eyes are deceiving me I can't seem to see the Hangar 9 40 Pawnee in the list anywhere?
Could somebody who has flown one please post and say whereabouts in the scale this plane would fit? I am still learning on my Apprentice but was looking at this for my next plane maybe depending on the skill level required. Many thanks in advance. Bob |

Personally I would put the 40 sized Pawnee at a 4. The H9 40 Sized Pawnee is basically a low wing cub which is all the original Pawnee 235 was. The wings and tail were identical to a super-cub, the only difference, the wing was on the bottom and the engine had an additional 85 horsepower. |

Many thanks for the very helpful replies Hance and Catalinafllyer. Much appreciated.
I will have a go at flying the Pawnee next with the assistance of an experienced flyer the first few flights. The 'bit of a handful' you refer to Catalina flyer is on take off I am guessing? Thanks again. Bob |

Ember - 2
UM T-28 - 6.5 UMX Extra 300 3d - 9 Twisted Hobbys Extra Slick - 8.5 My progression was: Radian - Ember II UM T-28 UMX Extra 300 3d Twisted Hobbys Extra Slick I have handed the controls of the Ember to complete beginners and they did have success flying it. I think some sim experience is helpful before flying the UM T-28 but I'm not sure you must have it. The Extra Slick is about as easy to fly as the UMX Extra 300 3d but is more durable in a crash (EPP) and therefore I gave it a slightly easier rating. It does require a computer radio. I do use a SIM. I had no flight instruction (unless you count what I got around 30 years ago or some time on full scale). |
Sep 12, 2011, 09:44 PM | |
Madratter - Good stuff mate, and thanks for the flight reviews. As for flying 30 years ago and on full size aircraft, you'd be way ahead in terms of just basic flight knowledge then most. Example; plane starts listing one way you gently compensate using the sticks... as opposed to panicking and jamming the sticks to the edge, possibly stalling or getting yourself disoriented. Some guys I've seen take over 12 months just to get the hang of basic flight.
msdumo - I believe the rating for it is somewhere around 8. Essentially, you'll want it no sooner than a 3rd plane, and only using recommended low rates with high expo for the control surfaces until you get used to its flying characteristics. Cheers - boingk |

Champ -> T-28 -> Beast As long as you have a DX6i or better and set the DR/expo to low rates in the manual, you should be golden. The Beast is an awesome deal and awesome plane if you have the space to fly it. The only con is that it is super fragile. One crash you rip the wings. Glue em back up and you're back up in the sky though. Order a replacement wing set |

Going Cold Turkey for Self Control
Internet addiction is becoming more and more of a problem these days. I have often found myself on Mashable, Lifehacker, youtube and Facebook during the hours I had allocated to work on my project. Not long ago I took a challenge regarding smart phone addiction. I found that since I stopped the use of smartphones, I was on the non-productive spectrum of the internet quite a lot. Just about a month ago, I decided to block these sites on my office computer and personal laptop.
Smart Phone Addiction Challenge results
I began a ten day challenge on the 12th of March to determine whether or not I had an addiction to using a smart phone. The ten days are now up and I want to share with you my insights and experiences from this challenge.
A couple of hours into this challenge and I began to realize just how difficult this experience was going to be for me. By 2:41am, I began to feel a desperate longing to hold my little device, yes I am referring to my smart phone here, and just take a quick look. What reason? Probably habit but it really did feel like something was missing from my life.
Cross Compatible CSS based buttons
In this post, I have shared some of the snippets I keep saved to use as css buttons on my projects. All of them are 100% CSS based and if you have added these rules to your global stylesheet, all you'll have to do to add a button next time would be to just simply add the css class to your link or button element.
Smart Phone Addiction
I own an iPhone 4S and for the past month or so it has become apparent to me that the phone is taking over my life. It is a constant distraction as I compulsively check for messages and e-mails. I have been contemplating going cold turkey and giving my phone up. I have had my suspicions that I may be addicted to this mini computer in my pocket. It makes it difficult to stay on task and live in the moment, something I've learned over time matters most. I am in the habit of checking for emails every 30 minutes or so. When I finish work, I often find myself staring into the phone screen playing the game Clash of Clans unsure how long it has had my attention.
Decline of stock photos and why you should avoid them
Ever since coming to Australia and working with Australian websites primarily, I noticed a lot of stock photos around.I have always hated stock photos immensely and have stayed away from them as much as possible but clearly, there was a different design trend going on down under. Just out of curiosity, I looked up if it was just a coincidence – myself getting a lot of maintenance and redesign projects with stock photos or was there some evidence to back it up. Here's what I found:

Wow. I wasn't aware of this. I can't believe this happened to someone at JLS
There is a fund started by the co-presidents of the PTA to help buy groceries for this family during the summer. This is not because they are in need, but because it is a sympathetic gesture. The family is Russian and their culture does not necessarily understand the way the community wants to help them out, so it has been felt that a gift card for groceries shows the best signs of support.
If anyone is interested in donating, ask the JLS office to give you the details of the co-presidents.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Most of us in the United States can do our lives differently that we have in the past. I have chosen to let go of most material things and live as simply as possible. Yet, as a musician and artist, I do purchase raw materials and other things from time to time to further my arts.
I have been living out of a camper van for the last 2 years. In that time, I have made less than $5,000. I have house-sat most of those 2 years.
Mark is talking about a lifestyle in my perspective. I am not comparing myself with anyone in the world, and yes, I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past while on a spiritual journey and gave a lot of it away-it doesn't matter.
No need for anyone to judge or criticize, be arrogant or be a victim, that's all nonsense and gets you nowhere. I've pretty much lost everything and evreyone that was important to me for the last 10 years. Oh well. What is going on in my heart and soul is the most important.
Mark, thank you for your adventurous being and for going for it, and thanks for the inspiration of the woodburning stove in glass.... How did you do that?
With love and appreciation, Mark
PS I'm sorry that so many people and animals are suffering so much. I'm doing my aprt to change that situation as much as possible.
