Annual Report 1999-2000
Annex E IAEA Statements of Conclusions
IAEA Statements of Conclusions of Inspections in Australia.
During 1999-00 the IAEA carried out inspections in four of Australias five Material Balance Areas (MBAs): AS-A; AS-B; AS-C; and AS-D. The IAEA provides statements of conclusions about these inspections under Article 91(b) of Australias NPT Safeguards Agreement.
Article 91(b) statements for inspections conducted during 1998-99 stated the following conclusions (Activity 3 applies only to MBAs AS-A and AS-D).
Table 19 IAEA Conclusions of Inspections in Australia
Verification Activity |
Conclusion |
(1) |
Examination of records |
The records satisfied the Agency requirements. |
(2) |
Examination of Reports to the Agency |
The reports satisfied the Agency requirements. |
(3) |
Application of Containment and Surveillance Measures |
The application of containment and surveillance measures adequately complemented the nuclear material accountancy measures. |
(4) |
Verification of Physical Inventory |
The physical inventory declared by the operator was verified and the results satisfied the Agency requirements. |
The only material unaccounted for (MUF) declared for the year was a small quantity of enriched uranium in AS-C.
Explanatory note on MBA AS-E
This MBA covers all locations in Australia, except ANSTO at Lucas Heights, where safeguardable nuclear material is present.
No IAEA statement under Article 91(b) of Australias NPT Safeguards Agreement is provided for this MBA since the IAEA has not inspected the nuclear material located there. This is because the quantities are too small to be of proliferation significance and in most cases have been exempted from active safeguards or have had safeguards terminated in accordance with the Agreement (Articles 36, 37, 38 and 39 of the Agreement refer).
However, this year a complementary access pursuant to the Additional Protocol to INFCIRC/217 took place at the Defence Science and Technology Organisations establishment at Salisbury in South Australia. The Agencys conclusions drawn from this access have been received, together with those concerning the similar access at the Ranger Mine in June 1999. The Agency noted that access to both locations pursuant to Article 4.a.(i) of the Additional Protocol did not indicate the presence of any undeclared nuclear material or activities.

I'm gonna turn the top 20 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball to 100, because I love you as much as someone who has never met someone else can love someone. I did get mad when you did that thing that I don't know about because I don't know you. It wasn't cool. But forgive and forget, as my Grandpa Joe says, even if he never forgave our neighbor for stealing his street cleaning parking spot twenty years ago, so there's that. Now, it's only fair I turn the outfielders up to 100, since I've turned the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball to 31; the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 51; the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 41; the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball to 38 and the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 41. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are there. As always, my tiers and projections are included. Anyway, here's the top 20 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jacoby Ellsbury
In the first article of this series, I looked at some of the most disappointing fantasy performers from this past season and attempted to project what should be expected from those players in 2015. If you missed it, you can check out that post here. This time around, I'm going to break down a few players who unexpectedly produced some of the best overall numbers in fantasy baseball during the 2014 season. None of these guys were thought of as core players for fantasy owners to build around prior to the season, but all of them found their way onto many championship teams due to their elite production.
Are these breakout performances sustainable going forward? Should significant regression be expected? Let's investigate further…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Went over the catchers, 1st basemen, 2nd basemen and shortstops and top 20 3rd basemen for 2014 fantasy baseball. Guess what's next! No, not pitchers. Read the title, man. In 2010, there were only 5 outfielders that hit 30 homers, in 2011 there were 9, 14 in 2012 and in 2013 there were 3. This year, small bounce back with 6. That did just mean there were less homers from other positions though, it didn't mean a bounce back all around for baseball. We are only a few years away from someone leading the league with 25 homers. Steals were still around. There were 14 outfielders who stole 30 bases in 2012, 10 in 2013 and this year there were 11. As before, these rankings are from our Fantasy Baseball Player Rater with my comments. Anyway, here's the top 20 outfielders for 2014 fantasy baseball and how they compare to where I originally ranked them:
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you've been scouring all your picture books for a proper fantasy hitter in the final week, look no further. Oswaldo Arcia was 3-for-4 with his 19th home run and two RBI last night. Arcia has a nice little six-game hitting streak, with four homers in that stretch. To be fair, however, he's also sat four games in that span with a tweaked muscle in his upper back. Injury concerns aside, Oswaldo is destroying baseballs when he's on the field. In his past six games, he's clubbed four homers and with 8 RBI. He's slugging .858 in the past two weeks while batting over .400, and with 19 homers (12 at cavernous Target Field) in 94 games, he's got serious power and might be someone to consider on draft day next year. He's worth the pick up in all leagues if you need some pop in the final week of the season. Oswaldo could power you to fantasy glory. He's missed some time in the past few days, but he hasn't shown any ill effects of the injury while on the field, so hopefully this back injury is behind him for the most part. Get it!? Ha! Either way that shouldn't discourage you from picking him up this hot little potato while he's mashing.
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ryan Braun revealed he doesn't have a thumb issue, he has a whole hand issue. Unfortch, he's also proving to have a 'can't stay on the field without steroids' issue, which is the result of a 'steroids has broken down his ability to stay healthy' issue that's brought up a 'is he really trying to get on the field' issue that all came about when he was 'wearing scrubs, watching his wife spit out a kid and his wife was squeezing his hand too tightly' issue that leaves the issue, 'will he return and do anything this season?' Basically, Braun's got more men's health issues than Ricky Martin. Whether or not you drop him or just bench him comes down to who you have to replace him, but, in September, he's hitting .200 with zero homers, and he hit .240 in August with four homers, so chances are good you can find someone better than him for the final two and a half weeks. This will definitely muddy waters on if Braun is a mannish boy or what to expect from him in 2015 fantasy baseball. Unless Lame-Ass-Busta Excuses is a category in your league, then Braun has it on lock. (Also, applies if the category is spelled Lame-Ass-Buster Excuses or simply Lame Excuses.) Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?There's a dark side to the expansion of rosters that no one wants you to talk about. Or people do talk about it, but they talk about it as written by the writers of The Honourable Woman so no one can understand it. You laid a cable modem through the Gaza Strip? But now the Palestinians can see which celebrities are on their side. "We got Rihanna! With a hashtag, baby! If we could only buy her albums. What does she sing? S&M? What's that mean? Whips and chains? Oh, yeah, like torture? Oh. Regarding sex? Hmm, we'd kill her for singing that. What other songs does she have? Umbrella? It doesn't rain here. What else does she sing? Only Girl in the World? That is neither accurate nor encouraging. Could she remix it to 72 girls in the world?" This MLB roster expansion has a side to it that is that disturbing. With teams expanding, they don't need to DL players. A week ago if Dustin Pedroia was forearm shivered as he was on Saturday, he would've hit the DL. Now, well, he's going to sit on the bench for at least a week. Miguel Cabrera may have also hit the DL a month ago, so he could rest his ankle. Now, the Tigers said he could sit for 4 to 5 days. It's not great news, though with how he's hitting, in some leagues it might pay to just bench him and grab a hot bat. As for Pedroia, I'd drop him in most mixed leagues. He could be out for a week or longer, and, brucely, he hasn't done much this year when he has been playing. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Adam Wainwright went 6 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners, 5 Ks as he was out-dueled by Jeff Locke (7 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks). Wainwright being out-dueled seems to be the norm lately. In August, his ERA is 5.17 and he says he's going through a 'dead arm' phase. Ways that a dead arm could help (in no particular order): tricking a zombie while playing dead, making your other arm feel more alive, doorstop, can't pick up a bill because your wallet is in the dead arm pocket, screaming out "Sorry, dead arm!" when cutting off people while driving and making your Bernie Lean more believable. Ways that a dead arm won't help: pitching. Verlander's arm must be so dead that necrophiliac stray dogs try to constantly hump it. You have to hold onto Wainwright and hope he comes out of it, but obviously this was not what you wanted to hear. By the by, Rudy tells me after he learned his wife was preggers with twins he went through a 'dead penis' phase. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Madison Bumgarner threw a near-perfect game vs. the Rockies, ending with a one hitter and 13 Ks. Tim Lincecum was the first one to congratulate him, saying, "I'll see you in the bullpen in two months." Then Lincecum laughed, a hallow, empty laughter and his eyes glazed with what appeared to be tears. Yesterday, Bum was so impressive that even Gattis said, "I'd bunk in a cardboard box with that Bum anytime." Yesterday, Bum was so impressive, Brian Sabean altered Bumgarner's contract, making him twelve years older. Yesterday, Bum was so impressive, Giants fans didn't roll their eyes when someone had white wine with a burger. On the year, Bumgarner has a 3.02 ERA, 9.3 K/9, 1.9 BB/9 and is about as consistent as a starter that you can find. Oh, and he's only 25 years old. *Homer Simpson drool* Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've partied in San Diego. There are lots of options for beautiful people to finish your evening with, whether male or female. Either way, you're gonna need a Jimmy in all likelihood. Ask J-FOH. He's a local. He knows what's up. Or ask "Adrienne" about Cam Thomas. Anywho… a Jimmy (hat) is very necessary in San Diego. The Brew Crew happens to be in Petco which is a stadium known more for its depression of hitter statistics than for the amount of petting that occurs. Jimmy Nelson is no fine thang, but he's got some pretty good swing and miss in him and the Friars are clearly the worst offense he's faced this year. And if my attempts at hitting a home run in the night clubs of San Diego are any indication, striking out is a very common trend as a tourist there.
I'm not gonna try to say that Nelson is the best option on the board today, but he is a really nice option. There are so many high priced guys today that I feel like taking someone at the lower end is what will set you apart in any matchup. Last night I played in three H2H matchups where we had 4-8… yes 8 of the same players. I don't' have a lot of words for how stupidly frustrating that is. Well, I do, but they aren't more or less than 4 letters of inappropriateness. I'm riding Jimmy today like it's his last adult feature film. I'm just sayin, cuz if I was Kust Cayin' I'd be biting Grey, and the cougar has not yet approved that behavior. Nelson gets the Padres who've been a teeny weenie bit better lately, but ultimately pose the least threat to pitchers today and are in Petco. I won't put you in a full Nelson to take him, but you should submit to this wisdom.
As we approach the final month of the season we are starting to really dial in the DraftKings picks. Having nearly a full season of data to rely on helps as the DFSBot proves. Rudy's phenomenal tool, as Mrs. Gamble calls it, cranks out the day's best value plays and even breaks it down to expected $ per point. The Ombotsman is now standing among company in its claim that the DFSBot has been a much more accurate method of ranking value than Draftkings salaries have been.
New to DraftKings? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond? Well try out this 20 teamer of Razzball writers and friends to wet your DK whistle. Just remember to sign up through us before you do. It's how we know you care!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here's what I didn't say in June, but could have, "With the promotion of George Springer and Gregory Polanco, Mike Trout and Mike Trout's father, Tim Salmon, should make room in their mini-van that's designed to look like a submarine because there's new top hitters in the major leagues of baseball. Put down your periscope, Trout, no need to look any further. You have the new challenger for your supremacy. Polanco is especially intriguing due to his blend of speed and power, and inability to hit for a low average. There's just no chance he hits below .280. No chance. Also, on August 25th play the Powerball numbers 37-08-32-11-09-38." And that's me quoting what I could've said! Of course, I didn't say it exactly like that, but that was generally my feelings. As it started to appear like each was overmatched, I told you to sell both of them before they bottomed out. Springer's got his strikeout problems, that I'll go over at some point in the offseason, but Polanco got a raw deal. He had 6 homers, 12 steals in 64 games. That's a 15-homer, 30-steal guy next year. The Pirates demoted him yesterday as some kind of neg designed by pick-up artist, Mystery. Polanco's K-rate wasn't terrible, his walk rate was fine, he was done in by a .241 average. A .241 average with the aforementioned strikeout rate that wasn't bad. So what happened? He was unlucky. That batting average was being grounded by a .277 BABIP. With his speed, Polanco could easily have a .320 BABIP and a .290 average. For this year, you can lose him, but I'm still going to like him in 2015. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Analyst: 'high' likelihood of Bing/Apple iPhone search deal
There is a "high" likelihood of Microsoft winning an iPhone search deal with Apple, according to a BusinessWeek report. Citing a note from Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggarwal, the report states that Aggarwal met with Microsoft executive on February 10, and although the employees present at the meeting "did not confirm or deny any chatters on the likelihood of Microsoft wining Apple search deal for iPhone," the executives did say that "for right economics" Microsoft would very much like to win the contract to become the default Internet search engine on the iPhone. BusinessWeek reported that the two companies were in negotiations over the possible deal earlier this year; a later report from Silicon Alley Insider indicated that Google may be paying Apple as much as $100 million per year to keep its place as the default search engine on the iPhone.

bing sucks!! i will also dump the iphone if they eant o be so greedy and change what works and what ppl like..
1.The technical search results like "binomial theorem" will never endup in what you were actually looking for. It might end up in the history, stories ont hat topic which you as end-user will never bother about, that sucks!
2.The biggest negative to me so far is the fact that Bing buries news search off the main page. I do many news queries every single day. Frequently I'll be searching for something via Google and click on Google News. The fact that Bing makes you click on "more" to get to news search frankly flabbergasts me. This seems so basic that I honestly can't believe someone at MSFT could not figure this one out. Instead of getting "news" search on the main page you get Shopping, MSN and Windows Live. How is it that MSFT has room for those search items but not "news?"
3.I'm not entirely happy with the search results. A case in point. Earlier today I was trying to find Microsoft's Bing Blog so that I could leave some of these comments there. So I did a search on Bing for "Bing Blog" Microsoft. What comes up? Lots of less than relevant stuff, but anything but the actual Microsoft Bing Blog. What I was looking for. By contrast, I do a search for "Bing Blog" Microsoft on Google, I actually can find the Bing Blog in the first page search results.
It also feels to me like Google consistently has Wikipedia entries higher up the search results list than Bing. I might be wrong on that, it's just the impression that I got after doing several searches. Frequently Wikipedia contains the most relevant info on a search subject and I like seeing them displayed more prominently.
4.The Bing stuff feels sluggish to me. Several times when I tried to load the Bing Blog (and most frustrating after I typed a lengthy comment) the page wouldn't load as fast as google does. It seems to be hanging on "transferring data from analytics.r.msn.com" and so the community experience has not been good.
5.Microsoft only lets you set your settings preferences to allow 50 results per page during searches. (Google by contrast allows you 100 items per search on a page.) Paging sucks and the less that I have to do of it, the better.
6.Microsoft Maps need a ton of work. I use Google Maps a lot, mostly to set up maps of things that I want to photograph in various cities. MSFT seems to have a similar way to build your own maps using Bing Maps. They call them collections. I started making a "collection" of neon signs in San Francisco that I still need to shoot, but was really put off that my "collections" list is a huge box that blocks about 40% of my map view (you can't drag this menu any place but directly over your map). With Google your saved locations sit in a column on the left side of the page and doesn't block your map view.
7.Result relevance was never as good as Google. First 2-3 results were tolerable, following were very vague.

Description This application is based on and claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 10221534.0 filed May 15, 2003, which is incorporated by reference herein. The invention relates to a conduit for the transport of cryogenic media, and to a method of manufacturing a such conduit. A conduit for the transport of cryogenic media is known from European Patent Application 0 326 923 which comprises two corrugated metal pipes arranged concentrically and spaced apart from one another, and spirally wound superinsulation made of alternating superposed layers of metal foil or metallized plastic film and insulation material, for example fiberglass non-woven fabric, being situated in the annular gap between the metal pipes and the annular gap being evacuated. The vacuum is created for example by pumps in the annular gap, the pump connection being made at the end of the conduit or on both ends of the conduit. Because of the tightly packed superinsulation intended to hold the pipes in a concentric arrangement, the pumping procedure is very lengthy. Accordingly, in European Patent Application 0 326 923 separate spacing is provided between the inner pipe and the first layer of the superinsulation winding, which significantly accelerates the evacuation process. This procedure enables conduits up to 100 m in length to be economically evacuated. The development of new superconducting materials which enter the superconducting state at temperatures above 50� K. has made superconducting cables economical by greatly lowering the cost of cooling. The conduit according to European Patent Application 0 326 923 is superbly suited as a �cryogenic envelope� for superconducting cables due to the fact that it combines good flexibility, a good insulating effect, and a simple cable manufacturing technique. Such superconducting cables are economical only if it is possible to manufacture lengths greater than 100 m, preferably up to 500 m, depending on the diameter. However, lengths greater than 100 m cannot be economically evacuated according to the current state of the art. The object of the present invention, therefore, is to improve the known conduit in such a way that enables the annular gap to be rapidly evacuated, even for lengths greater than 100 m. This object is achieved by a conduit wherein the exterior of the metal pipe is separated at predetermined intervals, and above each opening a pump connector is welded vacuum-tight to the outer metal pipe. The object of the invention is further achieved by a method of manufacturing such a conduit, wherein a metal band is formed in a continuous operation into a pipe having a longitudinal slit, the longitudinal slit is welded, the welded pipe is corrugated, and an insulation layer is placed on the corrugated pipe by winding, an additional metal band is formed in a continuous operation around the insulated corrugated metal pipe to obtain a corrugated pipe having a longitudinal slit, the longitudinal slit is welded, the welded pipe is corrugated, a length of the welded pipe is disconnected from the outer pipe at certain intervals, the opening is covered by half-shells, the half-shells are welded vacuum-tight to the outer pipe, and at least one pump is connected to a pump connection provided on the half-shells, for evacuating the annular gap. Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and claims below. The invention is explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment schematically illustrated in the FIGURE. The FIGURE shows a cross-section through a lateral view of a superconducting cable which comprises superconductor 1 and a �cryogenic envelope� comprising an inner pipe 2, superinsulation 3, and an outer pipe 4. Superconductor 1 is preferably composed of a mixed oxide manufactured in a known manner as a wire from fibers in a silver matrix. Inner pipe 2 is a longitudinally welded corrugated pipe made of austenitic steel. A spacer 5 in the form of a helix is wound onto inner pipe 2. Superinsulation layer 3, which comprises alternately applied layers 3 a of reflective metal foil and non-heat conducting material, for example fiberglass non-woven fabric, is arranged on inner pipe 2 and spacer 5. The layer adjoining inner pipe 2 is a metal foil. Outer pipe 4 is also a longitudinally welded corrugated pipe made of austenitic steel. Outer pipe 4 is enclosed by a plastic casing 6. The illustrated superconducting cable may be manufactured in large lengths in a continuous operation common in cable technology, the maximum length being limited by the capacity of the transport means, for example, by the size of the cable drum. The superconductor pulled off from a supply reel, not shown, is enclosed in a continuous operation by a band made of austenitic steel which is longitudinally welded, corrugated, and wound onto a supply reel. In a next procedural step the spacer and superinsulation are wound onto the metal pipe which is pulled off from the supply reel. This structure is tubularly enclosed by a band of austenitic steel, and the metal pipe is longitudinally welded and corrugated. Finally, a plastic casing is extruded onto the corrugated outer pipe. In the superconducting cable manufactured in this manner, plastic casing 6 and outer pipe 4 are removed at predetermined intervals of 100 m, for example. One pair of half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b is placed on each end of outer pipe 4, and both pairs are welded vacuum-tight at their partition lines and at their mutually facing end faces. Half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b are also made of austenitic steel. As shown in the FIGURE, half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b have a profiling, fitted to the shape of the corrugation of outer pipe 4, on their surfaces facing outer pipe 4. The profiling makes a positive-fit connection between the half-shells, and the rings welded from half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b, and outer pipe 4, thereby relieving pressure from the welded seam. Two half-shells 9 a and 9 b manufactured from sectional sheets made of austenitic steel are placed around and over the rings formed from half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b and are welded vacuum-tight on their separating edges as well as on their ends to half-shells 7 a, 7 b and 8 a, 8 b. Half-shell 9 a has a pipe connector 10 with flange 10 a to which a vacuum pump may be connected. A protective collar 11 may then be placed around and over half-shells 9 a, 9 b and plastic casing 6. The annular gap situated between inner pipe 2 and outer pipe 4, which is partially filled with the superinsulation layer, is sealed vacuum-tight from the outside at both ends of a length of cable. After this preliminary operation is completed, vacuum pumps, not shown, are connected to flange 10 a which evacuate the annular gap. For a cable length of approximately 500 m, four pump connections are provided spaced 100 m apart. To collect residual gases released into the annular gap after evacuation, a getter material may be introduced into the annular gap, preferably during manufacture of the pump connections.

Looking for a chair that had a 1940's look, I happened on this beautiful piece of furniture. It is much more attractive than pictured, and truly feels like a "slipper" when you ease into it. The napped fabric conforms to your body and the pillow is a perfect support for your lower back. As the ultimate consumer test, a friend with extreme back pain tried it and will sit no where else when coming to visit. Love the chair and the warm color.
I bought 2 of these chairs over two years ago, and have been very happy with them. They are extremely comfortable, the pillows are nice and thick, and the fabric is beautiful. We young children who are constantly jumping on our furniture, and these have held up amazingly. Would highly recommend this chair!
We purchased two of these chairs to be "occasional" seating. We really didn't have high expectations, given the price. We are amazed at how comfortable and classic they look! The color is very deep and rich. The fabric is soft, and the design is subtle but clear. The seats are deep, and they are surprisingly comfortable. The pillow is a bit large and awkward when sitting, but is fine when slid to the side. They were easy to put together, even having the bottom lined with velcro, allowing you to place the underlining over where the legs were attached. We have ended up using them on a regular basis, so far, so good. We even slide the two together to stretch out on. They're light enough to move easily, but heavy enough that they stay where you put them. We live in an old house with traditional furnishings, and even though they are labeled "contemporary" styling, I think they fit in well with our decor. We spent a long time searching high priced furniture stores, and were unable to find anything we were happy with. These inexpensive "mail-order" ones fit our needs perfectly, and look great.
Stumbled upon this chair and just kept coming back to it. Going by the great reviews, took a chance. Very good chair for the money. It looks like the pic. Its beefy, but not too large. Its also very comfy. Bought it for looks and extra seating. I think a guest could sit for hours in it. The fabric is very plush and soft. The colors are muted and really pretty. I am loving this chair. It could serve a variety of purposes. I want another. Would look good in any room from an office to a livingroom. Just a great versatile chair. Don't hesitate. Hubby had to do some corrective work, which was spelled out in the manual. He used his own power tools to save time. He said it took him about 30 minutes. He's very mechanically inclined. Bottom line, beautiful, substantial chair, good price.
I purchashed two of these chair for my very large bedroom! I was very suprised when they arrived maybe 4 days after my initial ordering! These are very nice chairs and very easy to assemble, it took me about 30 min. for both of them! I would not consider these chairs a paisley, I think more of a chenille/damask, sable with some merlot overtones. These are also very large, I was taken by their huge size, almost too large to fit in the place I bought them for! 2 people can sit in 1 chair easily! I'm happy with my purchase, I will be shopping Overstock.com more often!
I'm so glad I got this chair!. Excellent quality good price and very easy to assemble! Fabric is gorgeous, love it! The seat cushion is nice and firm not squishy soft at all.
Just as the picture shows it to be. However I ordered two of them and they are slightly different colors. The chairs are large soft and very comfortable.
I bought two of these chairs for my front room. They are gorgeous I love Overstock.com
I have been searching for an accent chair for quite some time. I took a chance on this chair by the reviews, color and pattern. It fits in perfectly in my living room. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick!
My wife was a bit reluctant at first. She was under the impression that we would get 2 different color chairs. To her surprise and amazement the chairs matched perfectly, the fabric was beyond her expectations and the overall comfort suits us just fine. The assembly was quite simple though the legs in front need to be tweaked a little and if you tighten them too much you may damage the fabric underneath so you may need to contact their customer service and request more of the vinyl washers. The legs can be adjusted from the front only but if your floor is level you won't have to worry about it. If you happen to like soft squishy seating these may not be for you. They are quite firm which leads me to believe that they will last for years. Overall the 2 chairs are a wonderful compliment to our living room and we may just go ahead and pick up one or two more.

The owner was very rude and opened the door while being fairly intoxicated. She made my employees to drive around Dublin looking for the ATM as she refused to accept payment by card and when the cash was provided, refused to give a receipt. She also refused to provide breakfast, because, apparently, 7.30 on Friday morning, is to early to make breakfast for people staying there. The only good thing I can say that bed & breakfast was in top location for my guys to get to work. No excuse though

Karting is the purest form of motorsports that you can participate in today. There is no ABS, no traction control, and no power steering. Instead, there is a seat (without a seat belt), a small motor to your right, and a helmet on your head. » 7/25/12 9:30am 7/25/12 9:30am
It's hard to wrap your head around sitting in a four-wheeled dolly with a 250cc motorbike engine inches away from your soft, easily torn flesh. Watch one in action, here at Killarney racetrack in Cape Town, and it still won't seem any less insane. » 4/26/12 1:00pm 4/26/12 1:00pm

Groupon is a combination of the words group and coupon. Each day, we offer an unbeatable deal on the best of Albany: restaurants, spas, sporting events, theater, and more. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won't find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power."
A stone fireplace dominates one corner of The Pasta Factory's dining area, giving the space a homey ambiance that complements Tuscan-yellow walls and international comfort foods. Using an eclectic mix of Italian, American, and Asian recipes, the chefs spend mealtimes blanching pastas, sautéing cuts of sirloin steak, and hand-polishing each sesame seed. The kitchen also strives to keep its cuisine fresh by making marinara, pesto, and fiery general tso's sauces in-house.
Amid cheerful lime-green and exposed-brick walls, The Chopping Block's stylists create precision haircuts, color tresses with Wella hair color, and tame frizzy locks with texturizing treatments. The salon features Paul Mitchell products, and also offers facial waxing to remove unwanted hair or add manly heft to the jaw of a waxwork Nicolas Cage.
From alongside steaming ceramic coffee pots, gluten-free Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes at Abyssinian Ethiopian Restaurant radiate imported spices. In the golden glow of wall sconces, sautéed beef and chicken morsels marinate in butter, cardamom, and fresh ginger. Patrons sop up savory remnants with warm injera, an East African flatbread made from high-protein teff flour that lets fingers grab food, unlike trying to grab a frustratingly realistic painting of fruit. Meals flanked by complimentary portions of collards parade to tables, and caterers cruise past with brimming portions for meetings and shindigs.
Recognized in 2007 as one of Gourmet magazine's Best Farm-to-Table Restaurants, Route 7's Promethean prep chefs wield fire, smoke, and sauce to create a hearty menu featuring naturally raised meat from local and small-family farms. Sauce scientists atomically balance pulled pork with the highly calibrated Route 7 barbecue blend, imbuing the customary tang with an aroma of fired hickory, alongside a pair of made-from-scratch sides ($18). Baby-back ribs embrace shameless fingers and eager palates with their sticky sweetness, often receiving collar-staining hugs in return ($28). Grilled pork chops arrive at tables propped up by drifts of cheddar-poblano smashed potatoes and apple-kraut ($18), and octuplets of house-smoked chicken wings spew spicy fumes from slow-cooked nibbles bathed in buffalo, smoked-barbecue, or habanero-barbecue sauce ($10). The house salad outfits local greens with Vermont cheddar, apples, and smoked almonds under a flavorful blanket of the chef's signature maple-bacon vinaigrette ($7).

Occupy Innovation |
By: Gregg Levine Friday January 27, 2012 3:10 pm |
If the US fought for the post-carbon economy the way it fights for nebulous state-building goals in foreign wars, the future would be brighter, cleaner, safer and cheaper, with more jobs and perhaps – because it would need to secure less of that foreign oil -fewer wars. If the country built new classrooms with the same urgency it built armored vehicles, more American teens could be choosing between colleges instead of choosing between minimum and sub-minimum wage jobs – and fewer would eventually need public assistance. If the government spent more on blackboards and less on bullets, it would create more jobs today and more innovation in the future.
The Circumstantial Case against Bruce Ivins Gets Weaker |
By: emptywheel Wednesday May 25, 2011 5:51 pm |
The whole case depends on the FBI's contention that a flask Ivins had–RMR-1029–was "the murder weapon." But in fact, the FBI only has proof that Ivins had what might be one of eight or more potential precursors to the murder weapon. Their efforts to equate the two ignore some interim steps about which they seem to have little evidence (and what they have they're not examining very closely).

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. We never even considered that Manny Ramirez would test positive for steroids. The wacky, crazy club-house destroying masher with a work ethic that defies the laws of humanity. Sound familiar...Mr. Alex Rodriguez. If there was any player we could say flew under the radar in the entire Steroid conversation, it was Manny Ramirez. Maybe we just didn't think he was "smart" enough to think to take steroids, to realize the benefit they offer. Or maybe we thought with his crazy baseball IQ, he was too smart to take steroids. And yet here we stand, today, with Manny Ramirez testing positive for steroids NOW. Not some day in the already distant past, but now in the post Mitchel Report Era where everyone was suppossed to have gone clean.
There will no longer be any talks of the crazy hair, or his in-game antics (talking on his cell phone behind the scoreboard). Now we will talk about how another sure hall of famer is tainted by the Steroid age. We will debate whether his over-the-top HOF credentials will be enough to outweigh the stigma which will now forever haunt his career. We will yet again wonder what drove such a great player to use Steroids. If this was his first use (which I of course doubt), then why. Why when we already had a First year Induction planned for 5 years after he retires.
Another great one has fallen, and yet again we found ourselves surprised. Will we ever learn, that in this Era, no player is free from scrutiny. We were foolish indeed. The Post-Steroid Era? Pfft. We haven't left the Steroid Era yet.

More women choosing to be stay-at-home moms, Pew study says
Regardless of marital status, stay-at-home mothers are on average younger and less educated than their working counterparts; 42 percent are younger than 35. Nearly half have a high school diploma or less, something that's true of only 30 percent of working mothers. Cohabiting or single stay-at-home mothers are younger than those who are married. Married stay-at-home mothers are more likely to have been born in a foreign country, compared to those who are single or cohabiting.
Stay-at-home moms in general are also less likely to be white and more likely to be immigrants. The overall growth in the share of mothers born outside of the United States and increase in America's Latin and Asian populations likely contribute to the increase in the share of mothers who stay home, the report says.
The report relied on current population survey data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, primarily covering 1970 to 2012.
The researchers looked at differences by the mother's education level, as well. "People with less education are far more likely to stay at home," said Livingston. "That fits in with the larger idea that maybe some are staying home for economic reasons — that they do not have resources to pay for child care, for instance," she added.
The researchers also analyzed time-use diaries and learned that mothers at home do more housework and child care, but they also have more leisure and sleep. Married stay-at-home moms do more child care and less leisure pursuit than those who are single, they noted.
Mothers at home report seven more hours a week on child care than working moms, 18 hours compared to 11 hours.
Tipton says she may go back to work when the children are in school, but she's not rushing it. "I just want to be very involved in their education and activities," she said.
"I have no regrets being a stay-at-home mom. I miss some of the social aspects of work, but this is the best thing for my kids. Some people aren't able to stay home. I feel like I'm lucky."

We wanted to introduce the newest little Hames! Logan Robert, entered the world screaming at 1am on Nov 10 just one hour "late" for his official due date at 7 pounds 6 oz. Thanks so much to the EMA for the flowers and to the support of the entire group throughout my pregnancy
Heather and Greg
Dr. Bourke Tillmann leads an interesting discussion on damage control resuscitation during traumas. When is less actually more? Pretty much always.
