Dear Dish-It: I Hate My Teacher
just me asks: "I just moved and I hate my new teacher. Today she told me not to put on so much makeup when I only had mascara on. I don't have any way to take out my frustration. HELP!!!!!!" Back to Article
I hate all the teachers.Why dont u tell ur teacher dat its ur face and ur gonna put whatever u want on it....that will work..i guess
I don't like teachers at all. Hey, teachers, you really should teach us that potato is not a number, and my opinion is that your IQs are under 0! (lol, no offense to teachas, xD)
I did not have mean teachers, ever, since I was 3 years old in Preschool.
I did not have mean teachers, ever, since I was 3 years old in Preschool.
I've never really had a problem with any of my teachers. If you just try to stay on their good side and don't give them any reason to dislike you, you should be fine. Even if they might seem unreasonable at times, they're just trying to do their job.
My teacher likes me.He gives me detenions everyday... Ahh.. The love.. Yeah right he hates me
last year, i had a teacher that yelled at me when i turned to the wrong page in our book!
last year my friend forgot to brush her hair and
the next day my teacher had gone to the store a
bout a brush and made her brush her hair in
front of the whole class
My teacher is like that, My math teacher will grab my paper that I'm drawing on, And rip it up and throw it away, And then he will tell me I draw horrible, Now, I crack under pressure, So I'm sitting there giggling my head off as he's tearing my picture up in front of me. XD Kinda funny if you think about it.
I understand how you feel. Sometimes I hate my teacher because she yells at me,but other times I like her. It can be really frustrating.
Ok my teacher yells everyday n all day she really gets on my nerves!!!!! I talked to my princal n he said "no it'll be alright ". N as I walked away from him I was like in my head " NO IT WON'T" nobody in my class like my teacher but dats a good thing I'm notin any of her periods!!!!!!

Thank you, Dan
Wait a month and then do a search for a "long query string of text" from each page. If they have indeed infringed on your copyrights then the timestamp will tell the tale.
However, if you not prepare to spend time in court (or paid costs) to protect yourself, the only thing left is the threat of such action.
Other than this... there's not much left, but taking your content off the web.
Hopefully it is for an ethical reason.
There is an alternative
You can take the matter up with the guys ISP if they use your content. On the couple of occasions that I have had such a problem, I have found that this works. Ethical ISPs will warn un-ethical clients off. (does not stop them going to another ISP and starting again - but are they likely to?).
I do recall one situation that this worked nicely (Believe it or not) the culprit was a government agency.
one question - and by this i mean no disrespect whatsoever - is: would anyone really want to steal your content? by that i don't mean 'is it good enough' i mean 'is it actually reuseable and generally applicable enough to make it worth this persons while to steal it at all'
still it's not a nice thought, but that's the way the web works. i had some *very* nice images - architectural renderings - stolen (well, used on another site with no permission or no credit) and while it feels unpleasant i kind of think that if i really didn't want that to happen, i wouldn't have put them on the web in the first place, and it would be a shame if people felt that way because then the web would be very boring
Copyright and copyright statements is much like a locked door - it only helps keep honest people honest.
You can only "cost effectively" protect yourself so much -- and regardless how "wrong" it is -- on the web people knowingly and unknowingly (don't really think about it as stealing) take other's valued copy, imagery, or anything else for their own benefits.
Unless you are prepared to use the legal system (or other innovative means) to their fullest extend, it's best the remove such information for your own protection.

Over the past two decades Turkey has become an extremely popular holiday destination, which is not surprising when you consider how much the country has to offer visitors. With Anatolian Sky you have the opportunity to get away from the masses and discover the true Turkey and experience real Turkish hospitality.
We pride ourselves on offering something different and we use our specialist knowledge to find resorts and accommodation which are full of authentic character.
A few of our favourite Turkish resorts are Kalkan, Old Antalya, Datca and Alacati. In these villages you will find a way of life that has changed little over the centuries, where the people who live here are more used to meeting local Turkish holiday makers than foreign tourists.
Even our larger resorts such as Fethiye, Oludeniz and Bodrum, have been chosen for their authentic Turkish character and unique qualities which will appeal to those who want to discover the real Turkey.
Central Anatolia is home to the oldest known settlement in the world, Çatalhöyük, dating back to 6,500 BC. Sixteen ancient civilisations, from the Hittites to the Ottomans have contributed to this exotic paradise over thousands of years.
Travel along roads that great warriors, colourful silk caravans and couriers of mail or secret treaties passed along many centuries before. Follow in the footsteps of St. Paul and the mystic Sufis spreading divine knowledge.
Anatolia was the home of Herodotus, the Father of History, and Homer who wrote of the Trojan wars in his Iliad. It was also home to Mevlana who founded the movement known as the 'Whirling Dervishes', the birthplace of St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) and the place where the Virgin Mary spent her last days.
There are said to be more Greek ruins here than in Greece itself, and indeed more Roman ruins than in Italy. Wherever you choose to stay you are sure to be within easy reach of one of Turkey's fascinating ancient sites.
Turkey is home to no fewer than eleven UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the historic areas of Istanbul - where the 6th Century Aya Sofya and the 16th century Süleymaniye Mosque are particular highlights - the Göreme National Park in the fascinating region of Cappadocia, which is famed for its "fairy chimney" lunarlike rock formations and vast underground cities, and the natural wonder that is the calcium cliffs of Pamukkale or the "Cotton Castle" as it is known in English.
383 beaches in Turkey have been awarded the coveted Blue Flag status and the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean and Aegean regions are commonly known as the Turquoise Coast on account of their vivid hue. This combines with countless stunning inlets, isolated beaches and uninhabited islands to make the celebrated "Blue Cruise" route, one of the most idyllic sailing spots in the world.
For the Turks, a meal is a social event, so you can relax and take your time over your food. The Turkish cuisine is one of the best in the world and the delicious food combined with reasonable prices in local restaurants "lokanta", will ensure that eating out is one of the main highlights of your holiday.
An evening begins with the 'meze', lots of small plates of hot and cold starters, which can almost be a meal in themselves. There are more types of kebab than you have ever imagined, made from succulent meat. Vegetarians too will be spoilt for choice with a variety of stuffed vegetable 'dolmas'. The fact that Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides - the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Aegean Sea - means that there is an abundant supply of fish and a variety of seafood, often freshly caught that day. To accompany your meal try the excellent local wine, the refreshing lager, Efes, or the national tipple, raki. You should round off your meal with a cup of thick, sweet Turkish coffee and a morsel of the world famous Turkish Delight.
Breakfast in most Turkish hotels is fresh white bread, crumbly 'white' cheese, (similar to feta), olives, jam or honey and often tomatoes and cucumber, which is traditionally washed down with strong, sweet black tea, served in a glass.
The shopping experience takes on a whole new meaning in Turkey, once you have lost your inhibitions, you will find that haggling over the price is half the fun of the purchase. Bartering can be hard work and you will often be offered a glass of apple tea to assist the process. Bargains include carpets, leatherwear, textiles, silver and gold. This brochure can only offer a small insight into this captivating destination, with its beautiful beaches, unspoilt villages, undiscovered coves and bays, clear turquoise waters, breathtaking scenery, mountains that appear to rise out of the sea, cities that sparkle with life and brilliant sunshine, all contributing to the holiday paradise that is Turkey.
As Turkey holiday specialists, we are one of the very few tour operators with the in-depth experience and detailed local knowledge to be able to create a Turkish holiday just for you. We can tailor-make a bespoke holiday in Turkey to your requirements and budget - and it will almost certainly be much more affordable than you imagine.

Despite ample time for sightseeing in Istanbul and relaxation in a coastal resort of your choice, the real highlight is the time spent in Cappadocia, a unique landscape of fairy chimneys and otherworldly rock formations, underneath which lie subterranean cities and underground cave churches.
This tour of Turkey's Marmara and Northern Aegean regions offers a stunning cross-section of the country's rich and unique history; from the legends of Anatolian Civilisations to the splendours of the Roman Empire, from the early Christians to the Ottomans, leading up to the horrors of the First World War and the road to the foundation of the modern Turkish Republic.
This itinerary is perfect if you want to see some of Turkey's most famous archaeological and natural sites, but would like to stay in the same hotel for the whole duration.
This tour starts in Istanbul and takes in some of Turkey's most fascinating sites, across thousands of years of history. It also includes a relaxing three night stay in a beautiful authentically Turkish beach resort, giving you time to rejuvenate for a few more days of sightseeing at the end of your holiday.
The Traditional Turkey tour includes a two night stay in a traditional village where you can experience all aspects of village life, plus a visit to Safranbolu to marvel at the restored Ottoman style houses and local artisans. You will also enjoy exploring areas of wonderful natural beauty before staying overnight in Turkey's capital city of Ankara.
This tour takes in some of the highlights of ancient and modern Turkey, including the natural wonders of Cappadocia, the mysticism of Konya and the rich history of Antalya.
This tour takes in some of the highlights of north eastern Turkey including magnificent castles, the stunning Lake Van, the well preserved ancient ruins of Ani and the impressive 14th century Sumela Monastery near Trabzon.
This tour visits one of Turkey's most renowned natural wonders Pamukkale with its strange formations and Ephesus before heading to the Aegean coast to explore Turkey's rich history. This tour can be combined with the tour on the previous page to make a 2 week tour.

APE_F03: Emissions of ozone precursors - outlook from LRTAP (Outlook 003) - Assessment published Jun 2007
Generic metadata
Environmental scenarios (Primary topic)
Typology: Descriptive indicator (Type A - What is happening to the environment and to humans?)
- Outlook 003
Key policy question: What are prospects in reducing emissions of ozone precursors across Europe?
Key messages
On the basis of existing policies and measures, emissions of ozone precursors (NOx) of land-based air pollutants are expected to decline significantly (by 47% for NOx emissions) up to 2030. Hence, the EU as a whole is expected to comply with the 2010 targets of the national emission ceilings directive. However, while a number of Member States are well below their binding upper national emission ceilings, others are not on track.
The implementation of all feasible technical measures (best available technologies) is estimated to offer a considerable potential for further reductions in the emissions.
Emissions of ozone precursors (Baseline and MTFR scenarios, index 100 in 2000)
Note: N/A
EEA European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change: International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) + Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no), 2003-2004. Dataset: RAINS model.
Key assessment
The outlook assesses the European air emissions of ozone precursors expected over the 2000-2030 period for the baseline and the maximum technically feasible reductions scenarios (MTFR). It covers the following anthropogenic air pollutants: nitrogen oxides (NOx).
The following developments are expected:
- In the baseline scenario, emissions of NOx are expected to decrease by 47% in 2030 compared with 2000. Baseline emissions aggregated at the EU level are expected to comply with the compliance may vary between individual Member States.
- Under the MTFR scenario, emissions are expected to be reduced in 2030 by half to 2.8 million tones.
- The largest contributor to NOx emissions in 2000 was road transport (46%), followed by the power plant and other fuel conversions sector (26%). The non-road sector contributed 15% and manufacturing industry and production processes another 13%.
- In the MTFR scenario, the importance of road transport emissions is reduced due to introduction of best available technology (38%); the power plant and other fuel conversions sector becomes responsible for 29% of the emissions, non-road transport for 17% and manufacturing industry and production processes for 16%.
- International emissions from shipping are expected to increase considerably in the baseline scenario: in 2030 NOx emissions increase by 87% compared with 2000 and exceed land-based emissions of NOx.
- The MTFR scenario indicates that the scope for reducing emissions through best available technology is very large for NOx (88%) for shipping.
The main reasons of the decreasing amount of NOx emissions of land-based air pollutants appeared from the implementations of the strict standards and controls required by the accessed EU emission sectoral legislations and with accordance to the main policy, which addressed air pollution issues in Europe, the National emission ceilings directive, and due to. There is no clear description of reason for shipping transport emissions.
*this assessment is based on the results of the RAINS model (a predecessor to the GAINS model) and published in the EEA Publication 'European Environmental Outlook 2005'.
Specific policy question: How do different sectors and processes contribute to emissions of ozone precursors?

Typically, this condition is caused by a clogged air filter. Many types of air cleaners are utilized in Briggs & Stratton engines. Most contain a foam or pleated-paper element. Dual-element air cleaners contain a pleated-paper element with a foam pre-cleaner, offering two layers of protection. Discard the paper element when you can no longer remove dirt from the pleats by tapping the element on a hard, dry surface. You may be able to wash and reuse foam elements with hot water and liquid dish detergent that contains a grease-cutting agent.
Single-element air cleaners should be serviced every 25 hours. The cartridge should be cleaned every 100 hours (more often in dusty conditions).

Ever since her hard-as-nails turn in
Winter's Bone
, we've known that Jennifer Lawrence is not a woman to be trifled with. And from the looks of the new poster for
The Hunger Games
, the same can probably be said for Katniss Everdeen.
With the film's release just over two months away now, the new poster shows Katniss staring down the camera, her bow drawn and ready for action. "The world will be watching," squawks the tagline, and indeed it will, as the film is already one of the most hotly anticipated of 2012.
Check it out:
Meanwhile, a new image has emerged showing Katniss and her fellow Tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) preparing for the games' opening ceremony in a pair of fetching black jumpsuits. Lenny Kravitz's stylist Cinna stands by with an open flame, ready to set the pair ablaze as a final flourish.
"What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it," explains director Gary Ross. "So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire."
They look pretty badass to us as they are, let alone when they're set alight! Expect the opening ceremony of
The Hunger Games
to have the Olympics licked when the film opens on 23 March 2012.

Tweet & sour
London is playing host to arguably the first Twitter Olympics. Richard Moore looks at the mixed impact social media is having on the 2012 Games...
Last Updated: 01/08/12 10:47am
London is playing host to not only the XXX Olympiad, but the first Twitter Olympics. And, just five days in, the social media micro-blogging site is having quite an impact.
Two athletes have been sent home for offensive tweeting; one 17-year old has been arrested for abusing Tom Daly on the social network; and Twitter was even blamed for the communications problems that played havoc with information during the weekend's cycling road races.
The problem barely existed in Beijing because Twitter had yet to take off, at least in the sporting world. But there have been several 'tipping points' since, many of them connected to sport.
Many of the Team GB athletes are using Twitter throughout London 2012. We've collated all their tweets into one easy-to-follow page so you can keep tabs on all your favourite stars. Click here to see what they're up to
Lance Armstrong, when he returned to cycling, helped to popularise it in 2009, and Twitter records were set at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2010 NBA finals, with the current tweets-per-second record established during the 2011 Women's World Cup final, between Japan and the US, with 7,196 tweets per second.
The London Olympics will surely re-write the record books. Yet they may also come to be recognised as another 'tipping point', when, for some, the dangers of tweeting came to outweigh the benefits.
Prior to the Games, the British Olympic Association issued social media guidelines - though not rules, they were keen to stress - to their athletes. Louis Smith, the gymnast, took that as his cue to sign off. On 23 July he announced that his Twitter account would be "going mute" during the Games.
A couple of days later he tweeted: "A brief moment back on twitter..." to thank all those who had sent good wishes after he announced his hiatus. Since then he has tweeted, or re-tweeted, some 41 times, with a flurry following his and his men's artistic team's bronze medal on Monday night. Fair enough.
Daly is another keen Tweeter. But amid the deluge of positive messages following his and Pete Waterfield's narrow failure to win a medal on Monday, there was at least one toxic tweet, which Daly - in what can be a highly-effective counter-offensive - then re-tweeted for his followers to see, and respond to.
It prompted an outcry and an apology from the original tweeter, who then, as he received his own deluge of abuse, backtracked on his apology, and continued to post bile. On Tuesday morning he was arrested.
The most bizarre Twitter-related story of the Games so far came after the weekend's road races. These races took place in a black hole; when it came to such essential information as distance covered, and time gaps between riders, there was a void, leading to irritation for the commentators and frustration for the global audience.
The problem was with the GPS transmitters on the riders' bikes, which apparently were disrupted by overloaded communications networks, clogged up by the million-plus roadside spectators sending pictures and messages over social media. The IOC have therefore asked spectators not to send 'non-urgent' messages. Good luck with that.
As far as the athletes are concerned, the pertinent issue should be how social media can affect their ability to perform. In the case of the Swiss footballer Michel Morganella and the Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou, the answer is rather a lot, since both have been sent home for posting racist abuse.
Greg Louganis, the former diver, said on Monday that he was glad Twitter didn't exist in his day. Posting messages and interacting with fans is fine, but the danger is that athletes use social media - specifically what strangers, some of them posting anonymously, say about them - as a sounding board. The danger, in other words, is that they listen, and care.
Some learn fast that this is a hazardous road to go down. The Australian cyclist Richie Porte, who found that he gained 4,000 new Facebook friends when he led the Giro d'Italia in 2010, became aware of the pitfalls. When he was doing well, his new 'friends' told him, via Facebook, that he was brilliant. When he wasn't doing so well, they told him he was rubbish. It was at this point that he realised: "I don't have 4,000 friends! So why am I listening to these people?"
"Thank you for your kindness. Messages coming in all day long. I really can't express my gratitude enough."
Euan_Burton on Twitter Quotes of the week
Steve Peters, the British Cycling psychiatrist, who has also worked with numerous other athletes, has spoken to his charges about this. He became aware of the potential risks in 2010, and has warned that social media can be especially "dangerous" in the middle of competition -- especially the biggest competition of your life -- "when you're vulnerable to attack emotionally."
As Peters says: "Your mindset alters when you're in the middle of an intense competition. You're far more vulnerable to criticism and adverse comment, because your emotions are heightened and less stable."
It was after Beijing, said Peters, that the issue assumed more importance. "We performed as a team unbelievably. The athletes excelled themselves. And it was delightful. But you can absolutely predict that somebody somewhere is now going to go for them.
"Had they done terribly then somebody somewhere would have gone for them, too. It doesn't matter what you do in life: somebody somewhere is going to go for you. And I think if you know that's true -- and I think most of us agree that's a truth - you can't control that, so why engage with it? Why not just say: 'I expected that but I'm not going to engage.'"
Easier said than done, perhaps. "But that in itself is a skill," said Peters, "to disengage. And to keep yourself level-headed."
Who knows: perhaps the ability to disengage could also be the difference between a gold and a silver medal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JCC58 winter get away
We go every year for a dance competition and stay here. Love it....This year noticed my room had trash, looked like it had not been cleaned. Reported it and someone game to the room immediately and moved furniture and vacuumed the room. That was our only issue. Love this place.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kee1 Hotel Stay Experience
Overall the hotel stay was ok. However I had a dirty unused face towel in my room that I threw on the bathroom floor to change. Hotel room service took the same unused face towel, folded it and place it back on the rack to use.
I reported the incident to the front desk manager.

I was very pleased overall. The staff was very courteous, the room was comfortable.
I did specifically request a room away from the elevator and ice machines - and of course my room was the closest room to the elevator and ice machines. Besides that I was very happy here.

Upgraded to a Executive Club and didn't have to ask....no small feat lately.
Club Lounge was well stocked and nice.
A great experience....thank you!

I enjoyed my stay very much at the Sheraton except for one thing. I couldn't figure out how to watch a different channel than what was programmed when the TV was turned on. It was only the SPG channel going on and on and it never stopped. Otherwise, it was great. :)

It's actually too bad about how small the bathrooms are. We even asked to upgrade to a suite and they said the bathrooms were the same size. There can only be one person in the bathroom at a time. Everything else was good but the bathrooms really made a bad impact on us.

This hotel is located near the Prudential Center, a great place for food and shopping. It's close to the subway station. Yet the sink of the bathtub was blocked and water could not go down. I literally picked out and threw away the hair stuck inside by myself! This is awful!

Rated 4 out of 5 by JHelen Nice room but a few things are missing from the hotel
The room was comfortable and, for the most part, clean. The desk chair and other furniture were in good condition. In other hotels, the desk chair and other furniture are frequently worn or damaged. This was not the case here. The room was kept up. Disappointments were -- dirty toilet seat (YUCK!), Coasters under glasses by ice bucket and coffee maker needed to be replaced. The hotel was also lacking the basic convenience of vending machines for easy access to chips, sodas, etc. Or perhaps a little store for late-night snacks (could be operated by desk staff). One shouldn't have to order room service at 3am for a soda. Room service menu lacked variety and was extremely expensive. The easy access to the wonderful mall was a huge plus! Starbucks in the lobby was way too expensive (so what else is new). $8 for orange juice and a bagel. Walk to the mall and pay <$4 for the same thing. Hotel is far from historical landmarks and other points of interest, but good for conferences (Convention Center attached). Easy access to Legal Seafoods in the Mall is GREAT! I got takeout twice! But most of the restaurants are chains.

When I find out what shops will be participating in the Fathers Day promotion, I'm going to make a trip to the closest one (hopefully no further than Atlanta) so I can get the box and some of the Wrapper Redemption Packs (hopefully with 20 packs I can get 4 wrapper redemption packs). I know I'll probably pay a little more (just in gas) for the box at an LCS, but there are benefits to going to the LCS (I hope, I want to take my boys with me). If/When I get the box, that is more for the base set, so I won't be factoring that into the cost unless I pull an autograph need (then 25% of the box price). First off, with my luck (and since I haven't bought a hobby box in years) I will pull two Elusive Ink of some barely known names and a 2011 Draft Redemption AU. However, if my luck were to change, there is a chance (the same chance the Pistons have at getting the #1 pick this year in the draft, 1.7%, lol) that I could pull the Rose or the Griffin or even the Lin. That would help out a lot. But even to pull other names that could go for decent money (Hayward, Cousins, Love, Gallinari and Westbrook to name a few) would be a lot of help. If you were factoring in the price of the box, I'll give you this shot to edit your guestimates.

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

The following is a selection of quotes from editorials and commentaries
published in 4 July 2010 editions of Iranian newspapers available to BBC
Monitoring at 0530 gmt
Iranian nuclear programme
Javan [hard-line]: "The reformists claim that Iran's nuclear policies
have been formulated under the supervision of the supreme leader [Ali
Khamene'i]. It is necessary to explain that although, these policies are
supervised by the eminent leader, the leader always looks towards the
potentials of the executive team. The leader's main policy since the
beginning of the Islamic Revolution has been to resist the bullying
demands of the West and the East." (Commentary by Ali Reza'i: "A
response to profound ambiguities")
Resalat [conservative]: "Some Western analysts believe that by carrying
out such measures [imposing sanctions], America is treading a path which
minimizes reasonable alternatives to achieve positive results...
Firstly, its success fully depends on the quality of intelligence
information received on Iranian atomic facilities and its capability.
The second factor is successful air strike and extent of damage, which
should prove that Iranian nuclear activities have been paralyzed for
several years and the authorities of this country have been forced to
change their strategy and stance. The main issue is the 'tomorrow' after
the attack. Western analysts are pointing to factors like, the
Hezbollah's extra-effective reaction, Iran's ability to change the
balance in Iraq and Afghanistan against America, use of missiles and
mines to control the Strait of Hormuz and inducing changes in oil prices
which is able to put the global economy under question." (Editorial by
Dr! Amir Mohebian: "Way for America to come out of trap")
Jomhuri-ye Eslami [hard-line]: "Barack Obama's approach towards Iran
during the past [one] year shows that Iran is still one of the most
important issue in the US foreign policy and the revival of America's
position in the Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan, and even its relation
with Russia and China are based on US's relations with Iran that should
be resolved... However, resorting to hostile strategies against Iran on
the one hand and simultaneous adoption of Bush's strategy of carrot
proves that the hawks are still present in the White House, but this
time they are trying to offer more carrots."(Editorial: "The costs of
Iran sanctions for Obama")
Jaam-e Jam [conservative]: "In the 15th June session of the UN Human
Rights Council, 56 representatives approved a statement against Iran
under US's pressure. This statement was issued against Iran despite the
fact that the Iranian issue was not on the agenda of the Human Rights
Council's meeting and even the representatives of Egypt, Pakistan,
Nigeria, Cuba and China issued a statement protesting the unsuitability
of the anti-Iranian statement... This statement was issued against Iran
at the same time when the UN Security Council issued Resolution 1929
against Iran's nuclear programme. Another statement by the US against
Iran several days after Resolution 1929, point to extensive assault of
Washington and Brussels against Tehran." (Commentary by Arsalan
Marshadi: "America uses human rights as a tool against Iran")
Iran, sanctions
Siyasat-e Ruz [conservative]: "The Westerners, who have failed in...
implementing the [sanction] resolution, have no option now but to turn
to negotiations to cover up these failures. By insisting on implementing
the sanctions... they are trying to divert global opinion... from their
failures in the face of the Iranian nation's resolve to achieve its
nuclear rights." (Editorial by Qasem Ghafuri: "Request for
Keyhan [hard-line]: "America's domestic affairs are not so good, and the
bankrupt economy of the country has paralyzed people's life... Americans
have lost trust in their president. McChrystal's controversial interview
has also created a lot of negative fallouts for the country. In their
foreign policy also the main job of Hillary Clinton is to attend
gathering of homosexuals." (Editorial: "Why do we not trust America?")
USA, Russia
Siyasat-e Ruz [conservative]: "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has
started her East European tour to visit the Balkan and Caucasus
regions... It amounts to continuation of US's expansionist policies in
the region and the first consequence of such a policy will be increased
tension with Russia, especially because she will be visiting Ukraine,
Georgia, and Hungary, towards which Russia is very sensitive."
(Commentary by Ali Totmaj: "Hillary's demands")
USA, Iraq
Iran [hard-line]: "It can be surmised that the US will try to sign a new
agreement with Baghdad after the month of August. Most Iraqi experts
believe that Obama will never end US's campaign in Iraq due to the
simple reason that US has been fighting for almost a decade to turn
Baghdad into its base in the region... It is certain that Washington
will ask the new [Iraqi] government (whichever it is) to postpone the
timeline of complete withdrawal... Even recently... the US has
established a [military] base in Talal al-Bagh [as published], near
Mosul in northern Iraq... This base has been established so that all the
involved sides should understand that the US is going to stay in the
region". (Editorial: "US strategy for staying in Iraq")
Iranian clergy
Arman [reformist]: "It seems that in the current situation the most
important duty of the principle-ist clerics' groups is to support the
supreme leader and to do their best to maintain unity between the
clerics and the people. They should know that relations between clerics
and the people must be reinforced." (Editorial: "Efforts to maintain
unity between people and clerics")

We're barely six weeks into 2005, and already the event billed as "Music's Biggest Night" is once again here. Even with the glut of award shows, the Grammys remain the ultimate barometer of artistic -- and commercial -- achievement.
The 47th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles will kick off on Sunday evening with five nominated artists -- the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Los Lonely Boys, Maroon 5 and Franz Ferdinand -- performing separately across three stages.
Later in the evening, the scheduled performers will include Kanye West and Usher, who together are nominated for 18 Grammys, and a possible duet from Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.
In one special performance, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Velvet Revolver, Tim McGraw and Brian Wilson will perform the Beatles' "Across The Universe." The evening will also include a tribute to Ray Charles, featuring Bonnie Raitt and Billy Preston, and a salute to Southern rock led by McGraw, Gretchen Wilson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dickie Betts and Elvin Bishop.
Queen Latifah will host the show, which will air live on CBS beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
In the past, the Grammy Awards have been criticized for being too predictable, with established artists awarded again and again and newcomers ignored. Remember the 1988 show when Jethro Tull beat Metallica in the heavy metal category? It certainly seemed like Grammy voters were out of touch.
Nowadays, the awards reflect the year's music beat and encompass a very wide range of music genres. This year, the nominations contain a whopping 107 categories, including four new ones: best electronic/dance album, best surround sound album, best gospel performance and best Hawaiian music album.
By far, the most important categories -- and the ones that guarantee a next-day surge in CD sales -- are the big four: best album, song, record and new artist. Below is a list of the nominees and my picks:
"Genius Loves Company" -- Ray Charles & Various Artists
"American Idiot" --
Green Day
"The Diary of Alicia Keys" -- Alicia Keys
"Confessions" -- Usher
"The College Dropout" -- Kanye West
This is the strongest line-up in years, with a combined 39 nominations between the five acts. Conventional wisdom suggests that leading nominee Kanye West or mega-superstar Usher will win, but in the wake of Ray Charles' passing, the music industry may be moved to give him this most-coveted and well-deserved award. In life and in death, Charles remains timeless.
"Let's Get It Started" -- Black Eyed Peas
"Here We Go Again" -- Ray Charles & Norah Jones
"American Idiot" -- Green Day
"Heaven" -- Los Lonely Boys
"Yeah!" -- Usher featuring Lil'Jon & Ludacris
Green Day's politically charged "American Idiot" is arguably the best rock song of this generation. It was the soundtrack to the divisive presidential election, in addition to debuting at No. 1 in the United States and United Kingdom simultaneously. Unfortunately for Billie Joe Armstrong and his Green Day cohorts, Usher's "Yeah!" was the No. 1 song of the year, spending 12 weeks at that spot, and it blew the doors wide open for the infectious sounds of crunk-rap. One year after its release date, "Yeah" still sounds as hot as ever. If any pop artist can claim 2004 as his or hers, it's Usher. All hail the new, not-self-proclaimed King of Pop.

Can anyone tell me an estimate cost for casement window of a good brand such as Sunrise or Okna? I tried Renewal by Andersen and it's more than $2000 per window on average. I read some posts here and found that RbyA was horrible. So I tried a local vinyl window company that I found from BBB with A+ ratings (made in a local factory, life warranty). However I can't say which is worse, RbyA or this one. Exact same selling tactics. RbyA was total of 29K. The local one was 25K. The quoting process was unbelievable. RbyA sales person was at least on time and it's an hour total. The local window company guy showed up 40 minutes late, then it took two and half hours for him to show his window while smashing other brands. (Seriously, the appointment was 4PM. When he left, it's 7PM. I was so hungry.) The final price for the vinyl window from the local company was like $1000 a casement window. I need replacement windows not new construction so they'll need to be custom made and I guess it should probably cost more. But is this reasonable? I also had sliding door quoted. His vinyl door price was only 10% less than Andersen 200 narrowline. I thought it's a bit overpriced. I'd like another quote on vinyl product but now I'm so afraid of these lengthy quote/demo sessions. Are most window sellers like this or I just had bad luck? The prices I mentioned here are including installation. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Got the price wrong - forgot to count in a small double hung and a picture window. So on average the quote was like $850 per window not $1000. |
Not very high.. What state are you located in? |

For a quality product that is a good price. For a "tinman" selling approach he would not be invited back in my opinion! |
I'm in MI. I thought vinyl should cost a lot less than wood (Andersen 200). But based on the sliding door quotes it's not as much a difference as I first imagined. |

+1 to the previous quotes. If you are upfront and honest with folks as well, they can usually shorten their presentations. |

+1. Depending on options and installation specs, $850 is not out of the question for a great window. As the other guys suggested, try to be upfront about your intentions to skip the dog and pony show and most sales people will respect that. If they don't move on to a different company. |
Thanks for the advice. Letting the sales guy know that all I need is the quote not the demonstration will definitely be the first thing I do, in future. I think I'll ask a quote for Andersen wood casement. I never considered vinyl before until I found this forum while I was researching for Renewal. I like the Andersen wood dealer I encountered. I asked for a quote on sliding doors (I didn't have to tell him that only thing I need is the quote and nothing else). He quoted the price and that's it. No 'sign it today and I'll discount you %' or 'it's good for three days to lock the price' stuff at all. I think that's what a dealer with quality product is supposed to do. Get me the price and let me take my time to decide. Why pressure, unless the price is not right, or the product is just not as great IMO. |
Andersen wood window is average, the sunrise is head and shoulders above in quality, structural integrity, and energy efficiency. If you can, go with the sunrise. Wood can absorb moisture and warp, it can also dry out. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Sun, Feb 16, 14 at 21:18
I would make the distinction between pressure and incentives. Every major sales entity has some sort of incentive program. Saying you sign today...or else...is another thing altogether and we are in agreement on that. |
Remember about any salesman, he is there to feed his family. |
There to feed there family with your money. I would just schedule all of them at the same time. |
Well, Okna just emailed me that they don't have a dealer in my area. Sunrise give me a dealer but I googled it - it has a negative review so I'm asking them to send me another - still waiting for reply. Are there any other vinyl window brands out there with equal quality? How about 100% figerglass window from Marvin they should do just as well as vinyl? |
Keep in mind, even great companies will always have a customer with an issue. Some customers are just never happy, they look for things to complain about and its impossible to find any sort of resolution. Then there are valid complaints/ issues that do occur for whatever reason, as long as they are resolved, its really not an issue. Be careful about eliminating a solid company based on a negative review. If there are alot, thats different. |

As WOW said, there is a big difference between high pressure /sleazy sales tactics and a company that offers reasonable incentives and provides thorough information about the service that they offer. You are making a very large investment, so you really want to get as much information as possible and get a good feel for the company that you may choose. Simply asking for the price alone is at the other extreme from the 3hr dog and pony show, you really want to be somewhere in between to be able to make a good choice. |
Sounds about right. I'd agree that like Goldilocks, you don't want the porridge that is too hot or too cold, but the one that is balanced and just right. A good company that is knowledgeable, reputable, and honestly priced is what you want. |
I had Sunrise installed in my home. It cost about $12,000 to replace all the window in the house. This included a large front picture window and a smaller on in the back. There were 21 individual units plus the big glass. All were casement. A window with 2 panes would be 2 units. We love the windows. No drafts now. Much warmer in the house. I'm in Manitowoc, WI |
poppawolf thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. My quote for vinyl (not Sunrise) is $8500 for a big picture, 8 casement units, and a very small double hung in laundry room. I'm now trying to get some more quotes. |

Serbu Super Shorty 12ga purchase ?s....

ClydeFrog Hi Ho TFLers;
My bud & I are looking to get new "Super Shortys" from Serbu Firearms,
I'm a left-hander & was looking into any member insight to learn if the gunsmiths can convert a standard LEFT HAND 870 Express into a Super Shorty at the Tampa Florida area factory.
The site states they use model 500 Mossberg 12ga shotguns or the Remington 870 as custom add-ons(upgrades).
I'm not much into Class III/AOW stuff, but a SBS(short barrel shotgun) may be practical for some jobs & a cool item to own....
The Serbu Shorty isn't an SBS, but an AOW. The transfer fee is only $5 for an AOW, it's $200 for a Short Barrelled Shotgun.
If you get tired of the Serbu you can't just add a buttstock without paying for ANOTHER $200 tax stamp. If its taxed and registered as an SBS you can configure it any way you want.
Serbu Shorty $705 + shipping + transfer + $5 tax stamp
870 LH $375 + $200 tax stamp + hacksaw
Need a FFL in north Dallas/Plano/Allen/Frisco/McKinney ? Just EMAIL me.
$20 transfers ($10 for CHL, active military,police,fire or schoolteachers)

Frequent travel patterns last year, especially during festival times, have resulted in a revenue growth of over 17 per cent in the passenger train segment of the Chennai Division of the Southern Railway, S. Anantharaman, Divisional Railway Manager, said.
Addressing presspersons here on Sunday, Mr. Anantharaman said that there was a 40 per cent increase in passenger volumes. While ridership in passenger trains was 70 lakh in 2009, it rose to 98 lakh in 2010.
The growth was observed mainly in the non-suburban sector. Earnings from long-distance trains rose from Rs.61.56 crore in 2009 to Rs.73.35 crore in 2010.
Speaking about additional special trains for Pongal, Mr. Anantharaman said that all trains had been completely booked and operation of extra trains would be considered, based on the need.
He also threw open the Mother Express, a four-coach train that houses an exhibition about the life and deeds of Mother Teresa, for public viewing.
The train which left Kolkatta on August 26, 2009, is travelling to nearly 72 stations across the country as part of the Mother Teresa birth centenary year celebrations.
The train will depart from the Chennai Central Station at 8 p.m. on Monday. Till then it is open for public viewing.

Fatal accident on Ridge Road in Greece
Rochester, N.Y. - Police say one person is dead following a car accident in Greece.
According to the Greece Police Department, westbound Ridge Road was shut down for several hours after a pick-up truck and garbage truck collided.
Police said that the pickup truck driver was heading eastbound and crossed the center median on West Ridge Road when he collided with a Suburban Disposal garbage truck heading in the opposite direction.
Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a factor, police said.
The driver of the garbage disposal truck has minor injuries and was released after being treated for cuts to his face.
Police said that it is possible the pickup truck driver tried making an illegal U-turn there. Witnesses said it was hard to see what happened because of the heavy traffic at the time of the crash.
Police are still investigating the cause of the accident. The identity of the man who died has not been released, but police said he was a Rochester resident in his 40s.
The scene was cleared around 7 p.m.

Write a ReviewFun lights that will amuse the children of any age
By David F. from Traverse City, MI on Apr 27, 2011
We saw these at a restaurant in Aqaba, Jordan and just had to have a set. Each time you flip them over they change the color they glow. One of the choices is constantly varying color of the light that shifts through the rainbow. Hold it upside down for 10 seconds and they turn off.
When you're not using them store them on their charger stand and they are ready at a moments notice for any event.
They are plastic. Tough. Tolerate being left in the rain all night long.
If you're looking for a fun conversation piece/decoration this may be just what you need.

Posted by Mike Gualtieri on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on April 24, 2013
With apologies to the late great President Ronald Reagan, "trust but verify" is outmoded advice when it comes to computer network security. So, why do so many information security professionals still think trusted and untrusted networks zones are still best practice? Most think that people are trusted or untrusted. The problem with that thinking is you never know who can or cannot be trusted. Remember wikileaks? It was an inside job.
The solution: Zero Trust - Verify Then Trust
Meet John Kindervag, Forrester Principal Analyst and a leading expert in network and information security. He says that firms must take a Zero Trust approach to network security that means "verify then trust". In this episode of Forrester TechnoPolitics, John describes the what, why, and how of the Zero Trust approach to network and information security.

Last year the country of Japan suffered a devastating disaster of unspeakable proportions. A massive earthquake on the eastern coast of the country triggered a deadly tsunami that caused the flooding of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Three dominos fell at once, resulting in a significant and tragic loss of life and property. I visited Japan earlier this year. As I traveled throughout the Tokyo area, I couldn't see any evidence of these disasters. I asked several residents of the city and all told me that the earthquake did not affect the rest of Japan very much. They all discussed how ready Japan was for earthquakes, having suffered many over the centuries. It was in Tokyo that I learned that not many people actually died as the result of the earthquake. Most of the deaths were the result of drowning in the flood waters created by the tsunami. Over and over again, the people I met wanted to talk about how well their buildings were designed to resist the destructive force of earthquakes.
In 2003 a much smaller earthquake struck Iran. Measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale, the Bam earthquake had much less energy but was more destructive than the 2011 Japanese earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0. (Data provided by United States Geological Survey.)

FLASH TRAFFIC: This just in!
The Washington Post is reporting a new wrinkle in cyberwarfare. In the article Defense official discloses cyberattack, the Post reports that "malicious code placed on the [flash] drive by a foreign intelligence agency uploaded itself onto a network run by the U.S. military's Central Command." Perhaps SkyNet has become self-aware, as this malware appears to be able to "upload" itself onto a military network. We ARE nearing August 29th…
Fascinating. Blame the flash drive. Expect the USB bashing to start again soon. SysAdmins all over will be buying up the world's supply of epoxy and shoving those nasty USB ports full of that goop. Go long on glue manufacturers.
According to Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III, "It was a network administrator's worst fear: a rogue program operating silently, poised to deliver operational plans into the hands of an unknown adversary." This must be one awesome piece of code – sentient, silent, and "poised."
