Watch North Korea's Most Nuclear Threat: The Kim Jong-Il-Produced Monster Movie 'Pulgasari'
Features By Scott Beggs on April 4, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWe now live in a world where a 1985 monster movie is topical because of both nuclear sabre-rattling from North Korea and an upcoming Guillermo del Toro movie, and where you can see that movie thanks to the magic of the internet. Like almost anything related to North Korea, the Kim Jong-Il-produced Kaiju flick Pulgasari has a depressing beginning. In fact, it only exists because Kim had North Korean intelligence officers kidnap South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and his actress wife Choi Eun-hee. Held in captivity from 1978 to 1986, this was the last of seven movies that Shin was forced to make. In the film, a feudal King subjugates the lower classes to a life of misery, but a jailed peasant makes a doll out of rice that comes to life when it touches a drop of his daughter's blood. As you'd expect (if you paid attention in middle school science class), this living doll hungers for metal. It also grows up big and strong and fights for the lower classes against the corrupt King.
'Pacific Rim' Emergency System is on High Viral Alert and It's Counting Down to Something
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAccording to this video, we're still safe, but it doesn't seem like it will be that way for long. Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim has launched its first viral attack, and its official website is counting down to something that will happen in (as of this writing) about 2 weeks. Either a teaser trailer is going to launch, or a giant monster is going to take out San Francisco. I guess we'll have to wait and see. It could be both. Or they might simply be testing the Kaiju Alert System. We all know how rusty that thing is, so it could all be routine. On the other hand, Total Film snagged this leaked memo where Great Britain Air Command has called down some serious mechanical back-up to aid the Pan Pacific Defense:

Jump Around Parties & Playdates boasts a sprawling indoor gymnasium of inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses, and interactive games designed to give kids' energetic limbs and imaginative minds a place to explore. During open-jump sessions, staff members supervise children while they take on winding obstacle courses, break free from gravity in the moon bounce, and sharpen their jump shot during bounce-enhanced basketball games. The facility's two private party rooms host birthday celebrations that dazzle kids with pizzas, Cold Stone Creamery cake, and balloons in between their romps inside the climate-controlled gym. The center's invitation-creation center makes up quality invites so parents can use their time party planning instead of mastering calligraphy.
When Malcolm and Mandy Sim welcomed two children into the world, the veterans of both the animation and theme-park industries visited numerous indoor play centers in Los Angeles, hoping to find the one that best suited their kids. Nothing quite clicked, however, which inspired the parents to call upon their entertainment backgrounds and develop their own indoor facility. Since relocating to the Boston area, the Sims have opened Jam Time, where youngsters ages 3 months to 6 years can surmount climbing structures, leap about in a bounce house, or shop in a pretend grocery market before whipping up faux soufflés in the playhouse kitchen. Classroom sessions further engage tykes with art projects, science classes, and princess-etiquette lessons, where young ladies learn to detect whether evil witches have booby-trapped their science projects. Soft play toys engage visiting toddlers and infants, while adults surf free WiFi, sip gourmet coffee, or enjoy a treat from the organic snack bar.
With three haunted houses, a spooky hayride, and a bustling carnival, Witch?s Woods is a Halloween theme park that rises from the mist for only one month a year. Ferried along by a sputtering tractor, Haunted Hayride passengers cower for 14 grueling minutes as they are assailed from all sides by zombies, werewolves, and ghouls. At the end of the ride, three paths lead to additional attractions, including Castle Morbid, in which medieval spirits chase interlopers through the halls and into the depths of the deep, where it becomes increasingly apparent that the weapons that once kept intruders out are now employed to keep them in. Nightmare Mansion is inhabited by a cursed family whose eternal life has left them as withered husks driven insane with rage at visitors who still possess the ability to die. The final path leads to the 3-D Keeper?s Crypt, where the undead shamble and scream as they pursue their prey, and where the walls themselves seem to be closing in.
A creepy carnival awaits survivors with rides, games, and more attractions. The Horrorwood Chamber of Chills puts favorite Halloween and horror-movie characters on display, including such icons as Frankenstein, Freddy Krueger, and Mary Shelley?s original version of Shrek. Meanwhile, the Jack O? Lantern Jamboree displays rows upon rows of professional carved pumpkins, eerily glowing at self-guided passersby.
An entertainment fixture since 1927, Dedham Community Theatre entices moviegoers with two large screens projecting contemporary independent films and a concession stand brimming with popcorn, snacks, and sodas.Settle into your choice of big-screen showings, which have recently included French film Sarah's Key, the romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, and The King's Speech, the dramatic biopic about Elvis' tenure as U.N. Secretary General. Twosomes and foursomes can nosh on concession stand favorites such as freshly buttered popcorn and or wine and beer from the theater's bar (not included with this Groupon) while soaking in the drama on screen.
At Mulligan's Island Golf & Entertainment, 60 covered hitting stalls look out onto 11 acres of target areas, a sprawling configuration that helped earn the facility a spot on Golf Range Magazine's 2011 list of top 100 ranges. Golfers can use the driving range's 20 heated stalls to practice during off-season months without worrying about cooler temperatures stiffening their swings, or they can invest in lessons that use digital teaching methods such as computerized swing analysis to lower handicaps. A USGA-rated course tests participants with nine holes of regulation-size golf, while an 18-hole pitch-and-putt short course and two mini-golf courses help golfers calibrate aspects of their short game. The practice mecca also tests swings at 10 batting cages that feed baseballs and softballs at adjustable speeds to suit both little leaguers and professionals fishing for compliments.
Fab'rik has garnered a lot of praise and wolf whistles from the press thanks to its wide range of women's apparel and accessories. With the change of seasons imminent, stock up on spring and summer fashions so you don't sport unflattering parka-shaped tan lines. Attract admiring looks with a lace back embroidered top ($48) or dazzle lumberjacks with a pair of leather, double-buckle flats ($24) during flirtatious log-rolling contests.

1 Forsooth for hunger rose on the land, after that barrenness that befelled in the days of Abraham, Isaac went forth to Abimelech, king of Palestines, in Gerar. (And another famine arose in the land, like the one which had come in Abraham's days, and Isaac went to Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, in Gerar.) | 1 Now there was a famine in the land--besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time--and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. |

Updated 12/04/2013
This late-baroque church (its facade was remodeled between 1736 and 1739) contains the mannerist Jacopo Pontormo's Deposition, the centerpiece of the Cappella Capponi (executed 1525–28) and a masterpiece of 16th-century Florentine art. The remote figures, which transcend the realm of Renaissance classical form, are portrayed in tangled shapes and intense pastel colors (well preserved because of the low lights in the church), in a space and depth that defy reality.
Note, too, the exquisitely frescoed Annunciation, also by Pontormo, at a right angle to the Deposition. The granite column in the piazza was erected in 1381 and marks a Christian cemetery.

To view Pontormo's "Deposition" is an incredible experience - absolutely breathtaking. Beware that the church often closes earlier than its posted hours if there are few visitors.

Let's all be friends, says Oakeshott
PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2010 09:14:23 | UPDATED: 25 Aug 2010 04:00:06PRINT EDITION: 24 Aug 2010
Independent MP Rob Oakeshott has raised the idea of a mix-and-match government, where former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd could serve as foreign minister under the coalition leadership of Tony Abbott.
Mr Oakeshott and fellow independent MPs Bob Katter and Tony Windsor could determine which party will form the next government.
The three will meet in Canberra on Tuesday, and Mr Oakeshott also hopes to meet the new Australian Greens MP for Melbourne, Adam Bandt, and Western Australian Nationals MP Tony Crook, who has promised to act as an independent.
Mr Oakeshott said voters had demonstrated they were tired of party politics, and he would consider moving away from usual power sharing arrangements.
He floated the idea of a government formed by MPs from all sides, for example former coalition environment minister Malcolm Turnbull serving under the Labor prime ministership of Julia Gillard, or Mr Rudd in Mr Abbott's cabinet.
"It is a cheeky option," he told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
"I do think here is a moment where we can explore the edges, and explore outside the box."
Mr Oakeshott said a 76-member government was "a by-election away from trouble".
"We need to get a buffer going in my view," he said.
"There is a lot more going on in this parliament in a bipartisan spirit than is given credit."
Mr Oakeshott said it was his understanding that Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Mr Abbott Abbott actually got on and were friends.
"That is not presented in Australian public life, and it should be."
The independents could start face-to-face talks with Ms Gillard and Mr Abbott later on Tuesday.

Women's Cashmere Ankle Socks
Nice socks
I love cashmere socks in the cold weather. My only complaint is that it says "ankle" socks and they are way up my calf. If you want to fold them down, I suppose it would work but I would prefer them shorter.
December 22, 2014
soft and comfortable!!
love these....luxurious. I handwash mine and hang to dry so they really last.
December 18, 2014
Warm socks
I love Garnet Hill cashmere socks. I have several pairs of knee socks. This is the first time I've purchased the ankle socks. They are toasty warm socks. Ideally they'll hold up as well as the knee socks. I always purchase them when there's a sale so they are good value then.

Definitely helps to keep the toes warmer this fall.
Wash and keep shape.

best socks ever
for cold wintery days…these keep your tootsies nice and warm!
November 22, 2014
"Gently hand wash"...seriously? Yes--seriously.
Okay...I know I'm not everybody--but the thought of gently washing and laying flat to dry my socks...well--life is too short and I just won't do it. BUT if you are buying these quite pricey socks--know they aren't just saying this to be saying it: they are serious. Otherwise, after a few (like 3 or 4) wearings, these will start showing bald spots where an out and out hole is soon to follow. I bought several pair--for me as well as to use as stocking stocking stuffers. Now I wish I hadn't. (Of course--if you're good gently hand washing your socks or don't happen to have access to a washer/dryer and are okay with spending this much money on your socks, I will tell you these are very soft and sweet socks. Just a little too high maintenance for this girl.)

I recently ordered 3 more pairs of cashmere socks and hope the problems I exerienced in 2011 and early 2012 -- threadbare heels and bottoms; holes near toes -- which reviewers also voiced, have been solved. These socks are warm, luxurious and lovely, but I want them to last longer than 2-3 months! Thank you.

I'm following up to my own question because I've worn the cashmere knee-highs daily in cold countries for ~ 6 weeks. The socks -- denim, wheat and charcoal -- are in near-perfect shape, so reinforcements seem successful in toe and heel areas. I've been unusually hard on these socks, but none have holes, thin areas or are threadbare. I'm so confident in improved quality that I ordered 4 more pairs today. Thanks!Age: 35-44

My advice would be this: If you want durability, buy socks in a wool/nylon blend. Cashmere is a luxury fabric, like silk, and is not known for its durability, just its soft hand. Treat them gently.Gender: Female

Mass power outage hits Australian city Darwin
Published on Mar 12, 2014 2:24 PM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Power was restored to Darwin on Wednesday after a 12-hour outage across the northern Australian city caused chaos, with schools and public sector offices closed and traffic lights knocked out.
A tripped circuit blacked out the city of some 120,000 people and towns up to 320 kilometres away, with the government mobilising emergency management protocols as technicians desperately worked to fix the problem.
"Power and Water apologises to customers for today's extended outage," the electricity provider tweeted several hours into the emergency.
The Northern Territory government said all schools were closed for the day, and the public bus network suspended.

Every Weekend
Intro: Anderson and his lover have been meeting every weekend for as long as the two of them can remember. During the week, each of them lives with a significant other in what they refer to as the real world, a world which seemed to have chosen them, or perhaps they did choose these real world lives long ago, not knowing the reality of their choosing. During the week, Anderson and his lover each play the part which is expected of him, but the weekends are theirs and theirs alone. Every weekend, their time together is fleeting, and the promise of a life together is, as of yet, unspoken. Excerpt: The special knock on the door made Andersons heart skip a beat in the anticipation of seeing his lover who was waiting with equal anticipation on the other side of the closed door. Anderson opened the door to his lover, as he did every Saturday night, to find him waiting for him. Anderson motioned for his lover to come in, and then he quickly shut the door behind him. Sebastian threw his arms around Anderson. The champagne is chilling, Anderson whispered. He kissed Sebastian, and Sebastian unbuttoned the top two buttons of Andersons shirt. Sebastian kissed Andersons neck and he then kissed downward to Andersons chest where the hair became a thick mass of black curls. Sebastian looked up at Andersons face. Champagne? Yes, Anderson whispered again. The two lovers walked hand in hand to where the champagne was chilling on a well prepared table next to a small bowel of strawberries. Anderson picked up a strawberry and fed it to his lover. Sebastian licked the tip of the strawberry and then very sensuously sucked the strawberry into his mouth, kissing the fingers of his lover when they met his lips. Sebastian then offered a strawberry to his lover, which was taken by his lovers tongue and eased gently into the warmth of his lovers mouth. Anderson kissed the lips of his lover. He then picked up the bottle of champagne, and gave the bowel of strawberries to his lover. ***** Anderson was in a deep sleep when the pounding finally woke him. He sat up in bed. I thought that pounding was in my head, he said to himself. Anderson pulled on his pajama bottoms and shuffled to the door. He opened it as far as the chain latch would allow. Sebastian, he said, and quickly opened the door. Am I still welcome anytime? That is what I said, and that is most assuredly what I meant. Make yourself at home. I just need to get a shirt. Mmm, I think you look fine, Sebastian told him, and patted Andersons butt. Anderson laughed, and hurried to get a shirt. What time is it? Anderson asked. It is three in the morning. I hope that it is okay that I have come here at this hour. Anderson made himself comfortable on the sofa on Sebastians lap. He pushed Sebastians hair back and kissed his forehead. Of course it is. But why did you come here? What will Masur say? I will not be going back to Masur, Anderson. I cannot continue to play his game. He is cheating on me, Anderson. I dont know where he goes on the weekends or who he is with, but I hate it, the secrecy and the lies. Anderson leaned in and kissed Sebastian on his lips. ***** It was now five in the morning on Saturday, and once again Andersons hope of having Sebastian all to himself was high, perhaps higher this week than in weeks past because of his own newfound freedom as well as Sebastians latest declaration. In weeks past, Sebastian had made no mention of leaving Masur for good, but tonight he had not only mentioned leaving Masur, tonight he had stated his intention with great surety. Twirling the buttons on Sebastians shirt, Anderson asked, Where did Masur say that he was going this weekend? Sebastian kissed Anderson on the top of his head. He said the same thing that he says every week. He told me that he was visiting his mother and sister in Connecticut. And you know this to be a lie? Yes, Anderson, I do. I found something last week in his luggage. What did you find?

those woven fiber bowls/pots you see at the home improvement centers- will they be okay for larger nepenthes? (miranda esp)
I believe I must re-pot several, and I'm wondering if the fiber planters would work. Also, do I separate the individual plants? (there appears to be two or three together in a six inch hanging basket). I'm no stranger to re-potting stuff, it's just that all them dangling pitchers add to the confusion! Any instructional tutorials online? |

Flexcin International, Inc. Charges in with New Product and Website Designed to Promote Better Joint Health for Horses-FlexEquine
All Natural, USA-made FlexEquine's new site showcases a user-friendly format for customers.
Fort Myers, Florida (PRWEB) December 30, 2013
Flexcin International, Inc., the makers of all-natural health products for adults and pets announces it latest product, FlexEquine, for horses. FlexEquine utilizes the same human-grade ingredients found in the adult version Flexcin. The primary component, Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8®), works to lubricate the joints and muscles and reduce inflammation throughout the horses' body. This combination of ingredients in FlexEquine with CM8® is specially designed to nourish the joints, support stronger cartilage, help to stimulate the lubricating fluid in the joints, and increase total mobility. This formulation is unique and cannot be found in any other product on the market. The new website gives customers a more user friendly site with enhanced features and additional product options.
Although joint therapy has been primarily targeted at thoroughbred and quarter horses, there are even miniature horses that deal with the same sorts of problems. Many horses are diagnosed with arthritis in their younger years, many develop the progressive problem over time; of course, this means senior horses are likely to have arthritis in one form or another, be it severe or mild. FlexEquine delivers improved joint function, increased energy, enhanced mobility and perked up demeanor, and healthy and strong joints with no side effectsAbout Flexcin International.
Flexcin International, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of leading natural supplements that promote optimal joint health. Along with its FlexPet line of pet joint supplements, Flexcin products are the only degenerative joint relief supplements with the CM8® ingredient to stimulate joint fluid lubrication, strengthen cartilage and increase overall mobility.

Forest also linked with Hull midfielder
The transfer rumour mill is gathering pace for the summer As well as mooted moves for Swansea City's Darren Pratley and Patrick Van Aanholt of Chelsea, Reds boss Billy Davies is also being linked with Dean Marney. One of a number of players set to be offloaded by cash-strapped Hull City during the close season, the ex-Tottenham man had looked set to join Burnley. Turf Moor boss Brian Laws has said however: "There's no truth in the rumour that we've offered £1m. "Nothing has been done or said yet."

You've probably heard a lot about Excel pivot tables. In fact, people who are really into pivot tables tend to go on and on about how cool they are. It can be a little annoying. What's the big deal? Why are pivot tables so cool?
The main reason pivot tables are cool is that they instantly summarize large sets of data without any formulas. In less than 5 minutes, you can have a good-looking table, with perfect summaries by almost any category you like.
"I'd like you to consider keeping chapters open as long as possible. I'm worried about chapter members losing interest."

As an administrative professional, chances are you collaborate on documents and spreadsheets with your team members, executives and other administrative professionals. Gone are the days of revision and attaching files to an e-mail. A plethora of tools and software exist, but the two most commonly used are Word's Track Changes feature and Google Docs. Whether you're a novice or you use one or both of these programs frequently, here are some tips and resources to collaborate on documents more effectively and efficiently.
Have you made the decision to attend EFAM 2014 in Milwaukee, Wis.? I hope so! This year's program is sure to be exciting, inspiring and educational.
Those working in administrative professions often hear how concrete skills are a must for success. You need your Certified Administrative Professional certification and your Microsoft Office Suite certification. These are necessary, but they are not enough.

IAAP has a wonderful history. There might be information about your association's past you might not even know about. Here are two facts: Did you know that Richard Nixon spoke at an IAAP Annual Meeting? Did you know this used to be an association for women only?
Being an administrative assistant is hard work, really hard work. It's a stressful, chaotic, always-on-call kind of job that can leave even the most seasoned administrative professionals wiped out some days. (As a 22-year veteran of this industry, I can attest to this!)
Virtually everyone leaves some sort of "digital footprint" these days with their internet activity, and it's important to make sure your online reputation is positive. For those in the job market, it's critical to be mindful of what information you're sharing and with whom and that the content presents a professional image.
As an administrative professional, you are the gatekeeper, travel coordinator, expense tracker, concierge, scheduler, event manager and overall go-to person for everything. Every day is different and everyone knows you are the one who has all the answers.

Jump menu and arrow color
I know it is possible to change the scrollbar colors (IE 5.5+) of browserwindow and textareas... but if it is how is this possible with just the arrow button colors (arrow itself, shadowcolor, etc) of a simple jump menu?

i suppose you mean <select> element?
this is not exactly a standard html element, its a form element and thats why its tricky, unfortunatly the colors will have to stay the same in the jump menu
you can however style everything else in a <select> minus the border and scrollbar ( as far as i can think )

Signal Processing Information |
Use Effects Processors to Keep Your Songs Pumping Maximize Your Amps and Speakers with Effects Processors If you want to DJ at the highest levels, in big settings and for parties at major clubs, you will need the appropriate series of effects processors and components in your amp rack to make all your DJ gear sing and protect you expensive amps and speakers. The right effects and processing DJ equipment will make a world of difference in getting the sound out you desire. We have professional preamps to boost MP3 and microphone signals so your laptop and your MC sound great. Then tweak the sound just the way it needs to be with professional equalizers and sound enhancement processors. With a multi-band EQ, youll be able to fine tune your mix exactly right. Then run it through an enhancer so the bass really kicks, while the highs gain natural brightness. Next you may need a dynamic processor and a crossover. A dynamic processor will allow you to control the levels of songs to create a mix with relatively consistent volume, that only ebbs and rises when you want it to, without sacrificing the quality of the sound. Then, with a crossover, send the right part of the signal to the right speaker component, get more volume, power, and sound quality from your tweeters and subs by sending them just the highs or lows. If you want to get more creative with the mix, then an effects processor that lets you to sample, remix, scratch, and change the rhythm on the fly will allow you to take advantage of your talents. Add this versatile tool to your mobile rig to achieve professional quality sound and effects even with minimal gear. To compliment your creativity, we offer professional quality drum machines in case you want to beat mix in your own style and add a personal production value to your DJ performance. This tool is something you can put to effective use at any level. But you need to control the sound downstream with the right rack of effects processors to take advantage of your mix like a professional. |

What is telling is the majority disapprove of Congress and the President. I'd bet if they asked about the SCOTUS that they would also disapprove of that arm as well.
Where the poll breaks down is it only asks about the false dichotomy, Republican versus Democrat, and fails to mention the real reason people are upset with their government. It's all about the haves and have nots, and that is why it doesn't matter who wins or controls the Congress. It's always controlled by the rich no matter which party or candidate wins.

I would definitely describe myself as a picky-eater, but I have been trying more things as of late. Basically I eat like a 5 year old!! ~not kidding!! I love cooking even if its not something I personally want to eat. I come from a huge, mostly Italian, family, so I've been in the kitchen from a young age. The only thing I refuse to do is any kind of baking... I had a cake explode in my mom's oven and swore I'd leave the baking to someone else!! Needless to say, NO ONE objected!!
Fettuccini Alfredo is without a doubt number 1!!
Mac and Cheese
Pierogie Casserole
Chicken salad (as in a salad with chicken on it)
Potato Soup
Pizza (New York style)
all of which should be made from scratch!!
and i just notice they all contain or can be topped with cheese!!!
I'm not a big dessert person, however I do love pizzelles and ladylocks.

Jane Campion making a thriller? The Kiwi helmer behind Portrait Of A Lady, a film so poised, so cold, it seems to have been shot through a sheet of ice? Next you'll be telling us McG's making a gentle love story set in Bengal.
But having Campion adapt Susanna Moore's novel In The Cut isn't that crazy. At its heart is a raw, slightly skewed love/lust affair and JC's status as an outsider, geographically and artistically, allows a rare freshness to slink in. This is a film that portrays New York as a mixture of dream and sleaze, beauty and sorrow, flowing languidly at its own pace, unafraid to breathe.
When Frannie Avery (Meg Ryan) is visited by James Malloy (Mark Ruffalo), a detective tracking a kill'n'chop nutjob, she doesn't know why the latest victim's head was found in her garden. She does know that she's seen Malloy before - he was receiving a blow job in the basement of a bar. Getting head, in fact, off the very woman who lost hers later that night.
From this attention-slapping start point, In The Cut unspools as a graceful, sinewy thriller in more ways than one, with Frannie and Malloy getting down to some spicy sex. And it's far from tame. Especially given Frannie gets off on Malloy's uncouthness: his sordid language, his disreputable sexual history, the possibility he's killing girls...
Fascinating stuff then, superbly played by Ryan and Ruffalo. Less successful is the over-crafted script, full of patterns and echoes, or the insistence on moulding every male support character into a Possible Psycho. We've guessed who the killer is by the third reel, so why not let it go? After all, there's so much more to enjoy...
A lovingly crafted thriller that's overflowing with red herrings and way too symmetrical. Hypnotic viewing from start to finish, though, with great central performances.

Iran fires new generation of missilesThe New York Times | January 01,2013Iranian forces fired what military officers said was a new generation of surface-to-air missiles Monday during a wide-ranging naval exercise that focused on striking hypothetical unmanned aircraft and vessels in international waters to the south of the country, Iranian media reported.
The missiles were fired on the fourth day of a six-day naval exercise that started Friday, when Iran announced that it had begun the exercises that would test a new version of its Thunder surface-to-air midrange missile. They were meant to demonstrate the countrys defense of its territorial waters, the official Islamic Republic News Agency said.
In addition, Iran deployed warships and helicopters to escort commercial ships and oil tankers as part of a drill meant to show the countrys ability to combat piracy, it reported. The exercise also included drills using Iranian-made drones and submarines.
The semiofficial Fars news agency quoted an Iranian naval commander, Rear Adm. Alireza Nayyeri, as saying that the navy had boosted and upgraded the capability of its domestically manufactured drone aircraft.
The exercise was conducted in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which much of the worlds oil and cargo shipments pass, as well as in the Gulf of Oman, the Gulf of Aden and the northern Indian Ocean, IRNA reported. Accounts in the state-run media said the war games covered a 400,000-square-mile area.
Iran holds military exercises regularly to demonstrate its defense capabilities in the strategic Persian Gulf region, where about 30 percent of the worlds energy supplies are transported. The U.S. Navy maintains a carrier force in the area and stations its 5th Fleet in Bahrain. U.S. forces conduct naval exercises with other countries in the region, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The news agencies did not say that the exercises were directed against a specific threat, but tensions with the United States have been percolating over a U.S.-led campaign of international sanctions designed to pressure Iran over its disputed nuclear energy program. Iran has previously threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the sanctions.
In December Iran said that the naval forces of Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps captured a U.S. drone that had entered its airspace over the Persian Gulf. Officials identified it as a ScanEagle, built by Boeing, an aircraft that can be launched and operated from ships, the company said on its website. The U.S. Navy denied losing any drones, but the unmanned aircraft could have been operated by the CIA or the National Security Agency.
Several Persian Gulf countries also have ScanEagle drones.
Pentagon officials said in November that Iranian warplanes had fired on a Predator unmanned aircraft, believed to be the first time Iranian warplanes had fired on a U.S. drone. Iran said the Predator had violated is airspace, an assertion that U.S. officials dismissed.MORE IN Wire NewsRAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany President Barack Obama will shorten his trip to India and divert to...

quiet, privacy, 24 hour access to pool and hot tub. Being able to have kitchen and washer and dryer in unit.
check in process leaves a lot of room for improvement. When I called the provided number they left much to be desired also. Office closes prior to check in time. They have designated area to pick up keys but call staff did not know where it was.
This location is perfect for outlet shopping and sightseeing. The cookies and hot cider are a nice touch. The housekeeping workers were friendly and helpful.
It took a long time for the hot water to start working.
Located across the street from the outlet mall and on the outskirts of the worst of the area's congestion, this hotel is very convenient.
Tiny lobby, congested breakfast area with too few chairs and tables, tiny bathroom vanity cluttered with coffee pot, ice bucket and toiletries made this hotel very uncomfortable.
Staff was friendly. Beds were comfortable all in all a high end affordable hotel.
A wider variety in the breakfast
Suite was very spacious.
Pet friendly hotel was not for me. I have severe allergies to pet dander and the carpet in our suite smelled like urine.
The location was good. The free continental breakfast had a good variety and was overall pretty good.
The beds weren't very comfortable. Probably one of the noisiest places I have ever stayed. Maids carts sound like a train coming first thing of the morning. Way too many noisy people after midnight. Not very good sleeping conditions.
The price of the hotel was reasonable and the hot breakfast was nice to start the day off with. We only stayed one night so the rating is mostly based on the nice breakfast. We booked on line and the room was ready when we got there.
Due to the location of the hotel, there was a lot of traffic noise at bed time. I take ear plugs with me when I travel so this was not a problem for long.
My family and I had no idea what to expect staying here because of the price. But the best Western plaza inn over exceeded out expectations. Staff were very helpful with any and all questions. Breakfast was a great added value. The indoor pool was warm.
The only minor thing which could have been our fault. Was the mini fridge was not plugged in or was not working so our dinner from the night before spoiled overnight.
The Location. The room was large!
Paint flaking off the wall in the bathroom. Not enough soap, shampoo etc. for a family of 4.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price for the double queen bed room and location were family friendly. Reasonable walking distance to two eating establishments which we took advantage of.
This was my first time at this hotel and decided to stay based upon a high rating by previous guests, price, and the location. Property looked old and worn out. Mold growing on the ceiling of our bathroom including water stains on the ceiling and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. I did not detect the normal odor of an older hotel which was a good thing. Beds were comfortable. Apparently my expectations are higher than other guests who have rated this property very high. I would not rate this hotel much above a 6 out of 10 due only to the condition of the property. If this property was renovated and physically in great condition I would give it a rating of at least an 8.
Room was clean and staff very helpful when we had noisy neighbors and they willingly changed our room even though they were completely booked. We were so appreciative. Breakfast was more than adequate. Coffee was very good. Highly recommend this motel.
No complaints. Everything was positive. Would recommend and would stay there again.
Location was great for our trip purposes. Staff called to check we were coming and hung around for our late arrival, and she was still very friendly at check-in!
Would liked more food at breakfast included.
Room was clean, staff was professional. Beds were comfortable.
3 Floors, no elevators. Had room in center of 3rd floor of right angle equal distance side to side. No accessibility in the center to third floor.
The continental breakfast was the best thing about this hotel. The area was kept clean and the two employees there were very nice and hard working.
Housekeeping was average. The bed was half made.
Friendliness of staff, caring attitude and even a call to the room after check-in to be sure all was ok. Breakfast was superb with great variety.
Hotel is under remodeling construction. Pool area was closed.
The bed was very comfortable, contrary to a previous review, from someone before. The room also had a coffee maker in the room, contrary to another negative review.The motel may have updated the beds & added coffee makers since those reviews. The motel staff was able to relocate me to the 1st floor, since I'm disabled & use a motorized wheel chair. I need the use of an elevator or placed on the 1st floor.
No elevators. I'm disabled & cannot climb stairs. I also use a motorized wheel chair. Without elevators, I need to stay on the 1st. floor. This negative review is for booking.com. The booking site needs to add specialty needs required for customers, such as needing a handy-cap room. This will prevent me from having to check with the hotel at time of booking or arriving.
I loved the location and the country feel of the room.
the view was great and the water zone was a lot of fun for the kids

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

urlencode() with href
One important point to remember (today it took me 7 hours to find): if you want to pass a link containing blank spaces through urlencode() and then decode it to use in href attribute of an anchor or link, you must not use urldecode(). href does not include blank spaces.
e.g.: header("Location: somepage.php?link=" . urlencode("user/files/some file.pdf"));
and at somepage.php:
DO NOT WRITE: echo "Click to download";
INSTEAD WRITE: echo "Click to download";

To the editor: My wife and I attended our second Oldham County Schools' town hall meeting on April 14. Board chair Joyce Fletcher called it a time for public expression. What expression? The speakers were given five minutes each to speak, and then told to sit down.
To the editor: The Oldham County Tourism Commission would like to extend our sympathy to the family, friends and the entire Westport community for the incredible loss of our friend, Kathy Hockersmith, best known for her work with Friends of Westport and the Oldham County Fair.
To the editor: In response to Tom White's column in the April 21 edition… I guess I'm not in Kansas, anymore. Must be in Oldham County, Kentucky. Dave Allen Buckner
To the editor:
To the editor: I know that bicycle riders have the right to ride their bikes. But let's get a grip here – certainly not in the middle of Ky. 146. Last week my husband was travelling westbound on Ky. 146 through Crestwood when he – and other drivers – encountered a bicycle rider just pedaling along right in the middle of Ky. 146.
Family thankful for assistance after tornado destroys home To the editor: On Feb. 28, our home was destroyed by the tornado in Eminence. We are so grateful to be a part of such a supportive and generous community. There are not enough words to express our heartfelt gratitude.
To the editor: I recently voted against hosting a hazardous waste day for Oldham residents and will continue to vote against such programs in the future.
To the editor: The Fools of Frankfort are trying to pass a bill that would drive the cost of over-the-counter drugs up tenfold because of a doctor's visit needed to get prescriptions. WHY? They almost draw blood now to get something for the "Ohio Valley Crud" at drug counters.
To the editor: It must have been a slow mail week to devote so much space to the NOHS principal's column about the Title IX distraction at the school. I asked a handful of male and female NOHS students and did not find any who knew much about this issue until last week when, in addition to the column, a similar e-mail was sent to the NOHS community.

Apple Goes Back To EPEAT
Re:Not stupid at all (225 comments)
It definitely is as authoritative as *I* thought, since the source I cited is quite simply *the only authoritative source* of this information.
I was already aware of the EPEAT rating process, but *all* of the products with EPEAT ratings are rated in the manner described. Apple is not unique in rating their own products, as ArsTechnica seems to imply.
The point I was making is that contrary to what The MacObserver claimed, the Retina display MacBook Pro is listed on the EPEAT website as having a gold rating. Whether or not the rating is deserved, and whether or not the glue is a recycling problem as claimed by some–those are issues that are yet to be determined.

- Überlegungen zur Erweiterung lexikalisch-semantischer Ressourcen durch die Graduonymie (2008)
- Diese Arbeit untersucht das Phänomen der Graduierung im Bereich der lexikalischen Semantik. Im lexikalischen System einer Sprache existieren Wörter, die durch verschiedene Grade eines Merkmals kontrastieren und eine besondere lexikalisch-semantische Gruppe konstituieren. Die Relation zwischen den Elementen derartiger Gruppen wird als Graduonymie bezeichnet. Diese Studie stellt Überlegungen zur Erweiterung lexikalisch-semantischer Ressourcen durch die Graduonymie dar. Insbesondere wird untersucht, wie graduonymisch aufeinander bezogene Wörter in lexikalischen Online-Ressourcen repräsentiert sind und welchen Stellenwert diese Relation in solchen Systemen aufweisen könnte. Durch einen Wörterbuchabgleich wird die Repräsentation der graduonymischen Paradigmatik von KIND im Online-Wörterbuch elexiko überprüft und mittels Korpusanalysen näher bestimmt. Es handelt sich dabei um eine korpusbasierte Untersuchung mit sowohl quantitativem als auch qualitativem Ansatz.
- How to spice up a breakfast cereal or the translation of culturally bound referential items in "The bluest eye" by Toni Morrison and "Vineland" by Thomas Pynchon (2011)
- This article will attempt to suggest translation procedures necessary to translate culturally bound items in the referential level of a literary work illustrated with examples from two novels: "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison and "Vineland" by Thomas Pynchon. First, the article will include a general description of the referential level in literary works offering possible avenues of 285 its rendition, then and finally suggest a translation methodology and techniques together with practical examples of the theory at work.
- The easy-to-please construction in Middle English (2011)
- The aim of this article is to follow the changes that took place in the history of easy-to-please constructions. To fully apprehend that, we will begin by looking at Middle English infinitives and the change which affected them. Our attempt here is to prove that Early Middle English to was at its intermediate stage of development, i.e. it was neither a preposition nor inflection. In Late Middle English, to reached its final stage of a gradual evolution heading TR On account of the analysis of to and infinitives in Middle English, new constructions in which easv-to-please appear will be explained.
- Context-induced creativity and the figurative use of taste terms (2011)
- For reasons of space, we only discussed one text in which the metaphors used seem to take their root in the context in which it has been written. One text is definitely not enough to make any definite claims on how widespread this phenomenon is. Given what we know about the two domains - FOOD and TASTE - one has reasons to believe that when speakers/conceptualisers(e.g. journalists) describe something which stands in some relation to both, they may intuitively be reaching for taste metaphors of the kind described above on the premise that this kind of 'ornamentation' will add some spice to what the addressee might otherwise consider a trivial (and boring) topic. At the same time, taste is only one among many properties a particular item of food or a substance (e.g. sugar) has. In consequence, one may well imagine contexts in which it is not its taste, but other properties (e.g. what Harbottle [1997:183] refers to as its 'pure white and deadly ' image) that will make the conceptualiser reach for a particular linguistic or conceptual metaphor.
- Text typology and its significance in translation (2011)
- Translation is a very broad, complex and multi-faceted phenomenon, encompassing much more factors than it seems at first glance. It is not just copying the words from the original work while changing the language, but it consists of a careful selection of appropriate phrases and expressions, combining them together in a skillful way while taking into consideration numerous aspects, one of them being the text type. The purpose of this article is, therefore, to present various text typologies and text types, specify their implications for translators and determine the role of the correct recognition of text type in producing a successful translation. This will be done on the assumption that a text type is one of the basic factors that allow the translator to recognise the function and purpose of the text as well as the author's intention. Thus, depending on the nature of these, the translator will inevitably resort to different techniques and strategies in order to successfully render the source text. Therefore, identifying the text type also helps the translator to select the appropriate translation strategy.
- Dancing cheek to cheek with cheek : the historical meanderings and phraseological productivity of the word (2011)
- In the sections that follow we shall be concerned with analyzing the semantic evolution of the noun cheek in the history of English. The semantics of the lexical item under scrutiny will be examined with reference to its two aspects, that is (1) the semantic potential of the analysed lexical unit in its primary, etymological sense (sense A) and its secondary senses (senses B > E), (2) as well as the secondary senses emerging from various phraseological units which echo the nominal sense B (henceforth B-related senses). The analysis proposed here continues the area of research initiated in Wieclawska (2009a, 2009b), Wieclawska 2010, Kleparski and Wieclawska (2010) and Wieclawska (2011), the target of which are semantic changes and phraseological productivity of lexical items variously related to the conceptual macrocategory BODY PARTS. The methodological apparatus employed here is the one that follows the theoretical frames developed by, among others, Kleparski (1996, 1997, 2002), Kieltyka (2008, 2010) that may be referred to as representing much cognitivistic spirit of semantic analysis.

About Gainesville Rabbit Rescue
About Our Rescue Group...
We are a nonprofit organization accepting into its protection any rabbit that has been mistreated or abandoned. The organization does not deny shelter because of disability or illness. All rabbits, after being nursed into optimum health by knowledgeable volunteers and—when necessary—local vets, are spayed and neutered before being placed up for adoption. GRR volunteers screen all adopting families to insure these rabbits will be placed in a secure and loving home.Gainesville Rabbit Rescue, Inc. is not a shelter; it is solely reliant upon the efforts of its volunteers and foster homes. We strive to place our rescued rabbits in the loving homes of foster families who see to it that the rabbits are litter box trained, fed and well cared for, with expenses coming more often than not from their own pockets.
Domestic rabbits are less able to save themselves than other companion animals. Classified as both pets and livestock, they are farmed, experimented on, eaten, worn, made into lucky charms; and some are kept as companions. Unfortunately, like other companion animals, they are also discarded by irresponsible owners. Thousands of rabbits are euthanized at animal shelters each year and we work hard to ensure the rabbits in our area do not fall victim to that fate.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
Come Meet Our Pets...
Most of our rabbits are in the loving care of foster families, so meetings to view the rabbits can be scheduled by phone or email.GRR is also found every Sunday of the month at the Petsmart located on Archer Road in Gainesville, FL.
Our Adoption Process...
An adoption application is required and GRR screens all adopting families prior to adoption approval.Individual rabbits have an adoption fee of $55.00, and bonded pairs have a fee of $100.00.

Cloth cosplays are one of the most common type of cosplays you see present in cosplay or hobby conventions. This is due to the reason that they are quite easier to make compared to armored cosplays and cost less. Aside from these simple things to why cloth cosplays are awesome, there are also other good things about it as well.

With easy-to-find materials and enough tailoring experience, you are sure to pull off an epic cosplay costume with little to no hassle.
Tailoring Tips and Tricks
- Remember to keep all your materials in one place. Your sewing tools should be kept in one container and your sewing machine should be in an open area where you can comfortably work.
- Before you use your sewing machine, ensure first that it's in tip-top shape.
- Before you buy a certain material for your cosplay, visit other shops and compare prices before making a final decision.
- Don't aim for expensive accessories for your costume. Check if there are cheaper alternative or if you can make the accessories by yourself.
- If you feel that you are not confident with your sewing skills, there are lots of sewing tutorials on the Internet to help you.
- Hard to make a pattern for the specific cosplay? There are actually online patterns that you can download and print out as a guide to help you on some of the costume parts.
- Do not use substandard tailoring tools to make your costume. You might end up injuring yourself.
Business Venture
When you have finally got the hang of creating cloth costumes, you can actually make it a business venture to help you earn. Accept commissions and make sure to complete them before the deadline. Once you made one successful commission, other commissions will follow. Not only will you end up doing what you love to do, you will also earn from your pastime.
