Why would you stay anywhere else? Beautiful location overlooking the town so it's sunny but cool. Lovely pool, typical excellent Parador food. And really not expensive.

First time staying in a Parador and we loved it. Room was huge! View was amazing...all of Toledo! Staff was so-so...not the friendliest but it was ok. We would return just for the grounds and view if nothing else!

The parador is a lovely building in a superb location, with lovely interior. I had a spacious, comfortable room with a balcony and fine view over Toledo, as requested when I reserved. The parador is furnished tastefully with interesting furniture and decorative objects. The room's air conditioning was effective and welcome. I was happy with the accommodations but was very disappointed with the dinner, prepared by the parador chef, and its hefty price. The dining area on the terrace is beautifully situated with a view toward Toledo, but the dining experience itself was at best quite unpleasant. While the waitpersons were helpful and efficient, even delightful in the case of a nice young woman who knew a lot about the dessert menu and was communicative and charming -- the food, except dessert, was seriously disappointing, not worthy of the parador. It was basically a ripoff for the rather substantial price charged, and was without doubt one of the worst meals in its price range that I've had in Europe. The fish dish I had was very poorly conceived and prepared, ugly, tasteless and loaded with small bones. The starter, a zucchini dish, was tasteless and unattractive. Visually, neither dish was presented with care and attention. Yet Spain has much fabulous, attractive food, even in simple tapas restaurants! The exception was dessert, which was reasonably good. The shockingly sub-minimal dinner experience was aggravated by the many hungry bees that persistently buzzed around all the diners and the plates of food. This was really annoying and distracting. No measures had been taken by the parador to lure the bees away (I asked about this, they said it "was a big problem"). So, regrettably, I couldn't wait for dinner to be over, which was very disappointing, as the dining terrace view at sunset over Toledo was superb and I wanted to enjoy it and my (expensive) dinner....Suggestion: improved cuisine and a shuttle mini-bus for transport to the town.

Re: Justin Tuck whining about Steelers
Steelers @ Giants, Week 9
by Peter Damilatis | 2012/11/02
Mike Adams vs. Justin Tuck
Few positional groups have been as scrutinized over the past few seasons as the Steelers offensive line. We graded them with the second-worst Pass Blocking Efficiency in 2010, and they were still below-average last year. After first-round pick David DeCastro tore his MCL in the preseason, hopes for any improvement this year grew dim. However the unit has done well, partially thanks to their other top draft pick, Mike Adams. In two starts since right tackle Marcus Gilbert injured his ankle, the rookie out of Ohio State has allowed just four QB pressures on 76 pass-block snaps. Hes also earned a +1.7 run block grade over the past two weeks, as the Steelers had 25 rushes for 164 yards to his side.
Adams may face his toughest test yet this Sunday in Justin Tuck, depending on which version of the DE shows up. In 24 starts over the past two seasons, Tuck has earned a grade of -1.0 or worse in eight games, and a grade of +1.0 or better in six. After catching fire during the Giants playoff run last season, the veteran defensive end has been inconsistent again this season. He didnt tally his first QB pressure until Week 3, and seven of his 17 pressures came in one game against the 49ers. However, his 9.0 Run Stop % is the fourth-highest mark among 4-3 DEs. If Tuck rediscovers his dominance, then he could overmatch the rookie. But if the veteran doesnt bring his top game, Adams will continue his hot streak.

Tampa Electric
Tampa Electric's net income for the fourth quarter was $36.2 million, compared with $37.7 million for the same period in 2011. Results for the quarter reflected a 1.4% higher average number of customers, higher base revenues due to weather that was slightly better than in 2011, and lower interest expense, more than offset by higher depreciation and operations and maintenance expenses. Fourth quarter net income in 2012 included $1.0 million of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) equity, which represents allowed equity cost capitalized to construction costs, compared with $0.2 million in the 2011 quarter.
Total degree days in Tampa Electric's service area in the fourth quarter of 2012 were 14% below normal, but 5% above the same period in 2011, resulting in pretax base revenue approximately $5.0 million higher than in 2011. Total net energy for load, which is a calendar measurement of retail energy sales rather than a billing-cycle measurement, increased 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the same period in 2011. The quarterly energy sales shown on the statistical summary that accompanies this earnings release reflect the energy sales based on the timing of billing cycles, which can vary period to period. The increased number of residential customers drove higher sales to those customers in the quarter. Energy sales to industrial-phosphate customers increased due to the transfer of certain load from self-generation to Tampa Electric's system.
Operations and maintenance expense, excluding all Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)-approved cost-recovery clauses, increased $6.7 million in the 2012 quarter, reflecting higher generating system maintenance expenses, higher costs to operate and maintain the distribution system and higher pension and other employee benefit expenses, partially offset by lower bad-debt expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.9 million in 2012 due to additions to facilities to serve customers. Interest expense decreased $4.1 million due to lower long-term debt interest rates and balances and a lower interest rate on customer deposits.

Hello everyone, I am new to gardening, planting or taking care of plants. I have always thought I didn't have a green thumb. We have just recently moved into a new house and we have some plants left from the previous residents. There are two topiaries (one in the ground and one in a container) and a peace lily (in the container), which are almost dying. Potted topiary is pruning new leaves from the bottom but the top half is all dry. Inground topiary is all dry. Is there any way I can bring these two to life. Peace lily is green and growing with new leaves all the time but in a few days, there are holes in these leaves. I am thinking insects are eating these leaves. What can I do to save this plant. I have recently repotted the peace lily. Thank you. |

anyone.. |
Keep in mind that a green thumb is not about having luck with plants... it's all about having the knowledge to properly care for the plants of your choosing, and applying that knowledge. I would figure out exactly what kind of plants your topiary are, and go from there. Each type of plant has slightly different needs... with respect to light, moisture, etc... and caring for container plants will be different than caring for plants planted directly in the ground. You can do a quick google search for information on each plant type, once you know their common names, and you should be able to locate a lot of basic information on the care, the likes and dislikes or do's and dont's, which will make caring for them easy. Or, you can search here... for general care info on the peace lily, try the Houseplants Forum. For the topiary, I believe there's a Topiary Forum... all right here at GardenWeb. As for the peace lily, they are generally easy plants to care for... though, they do seem to wilt quickly when not enough moisture is present... though, you also don't want to overwater... I've included a link to a great store of information on the basics of potted plant care, how water behaves in soil, etc... I think it will help you in your quest for knowledge in container gardening. Happy Growing! |

rohrer's always been a sucky od player, maddinson sucks, sok - today aside - doesn't really get wickets in od's and a 2nd spinner could add to the team (or we could bowl smith more often, instead of only bowling him when the batsmen are already on the rampage) and his batting is being wasted as it stands (kinda. i guess he is getting plenty of overs to bat with...) and you know has a decent record opening in t20 and is better than maddinson. i'm inclined to wanna leave abbott out but this article (Troy Cooley's top 5 young gun bowlers) suggests to me we've been told to play him (we left haze out for him for the first oder of the season didn't we?) and you know i don't mind it that much. there's something there. we'd only play coyte instead anyways

Such a gun win by the Shield champions.
Heat have just signed Abul Hasan as an overseas player.
The NSW batting effort was a joke. It looked bad from the start with Haddin unable to lay a firm stroke on McDermott.

The Istanbul region
Throughout its long history, Istanbul has stood as a symbol of greatness, a confluence of peoples, languages, religions and continents. It is impossible to visit the city and not be moved by it; not only by the grandeur of its monuments and the unsurpassed beauty of its setting, but by its vibrancy and energy.
The former capital city of not one but three empires, Istanbul today is a lively and exciting city of 12 million people, built around the Bosphorus, one of the most majestic waterways in the world.

"Magnificent view, style and luxury, what else does one need?"
We had the most enjoyable 7 day holiday in "Blue Pearl" in November 2014.
It is a very well appointed apartment with a panoramic view over the Bosphorus. One can see both Asian and European parts of the city from this vantage point and the magical and ever-changing skyline of historical Istanbul is mesmerising.
In addition we had a magnificent display of 5 ocean liners moored right in front of our balcony: Costa Pacifica, Magica and Deliziosa, MSC Preziosa and Norvegian Spirit all arrived in turn, as if to greet us and show off their elegant lines.
There are numerous cafes and restaurants around the apartment and we lost count of mini-markets and greengrocers peppered on the streets of Cihangir. The quality of food is very good and prices are quite reasonable.
We will recommend " Blue Pearl" to anyone who wants to appreciate the elegance and beauty of this timeless city.

This was an absolutely wonderful location, great neighborhood, great views.
It was spot on with service- from our pickup at the airport, to fresh fruit in the refrigerator when we arrived.
It was a beautiful apartment, with almost everything we needed.
The only thing missing-with a family of young adults-was the internet
there at the apt.
There were close cafes for sure, but with the torn up road at the end, it was not always easy to get there.
Overall, we loved it. Absolutely.
We definitely will stay there again, and of course recommend it.

Classification and external resources | |
A demonstration of abdominal thrusts on a person showing signs of choking | |
MeSH | D000402 |
Choking is the mechanical obstruction of the flow of air from the environment into the lungs. Choking prevents breathing, and can be partial or complete, with partial choking allowing some, although inadequate, flow of air into the lungs. Prolonged or complete choking results in asphyxia which leads to anoxia and is potentially fatal. Oxygen stored in the blood and lungs keep the victim alive for several minutes after breathing is stopped completely.[1]
Choking can be caused by:
The type of choking most commonly recognized as such by the public is the lodging of foreign objects (also known as foreign bodies, but consisting of any object which comes from outside the body itself, including food, toys or household objects) in the airway.[2]
This type of choking is often suffered by small children, who are unable to appreciate the hazard inherent in putting small objects in their mouth.[3] In adults, it mostly occurs while the patient is eating. In one study, peanuts were the most common obstruction.[4]
Choking can be treated with a number of different procedures, with both basic techniques available for first aiders and more advanced techniques available for health professionals. In the United States, members of the public commonly assume that abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, are the correct procedure for choking, due to widespread promotion of this technique in the past, including recommendations from the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross. People elsewhere also often assume this, due in part to widespread use of this technique in movies.[5]
Most modern protocols, including those of the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, recommend several stages, designed to apply increasingly more pressure. The Red Cross changed their recommendation in 2006, ending their promotion of abdominal thrusts as the primary treatment for choking.[6]
The key stages in most modern protocols include:
This stage was introduced in many protocols as it was found that many people were too quick to undertake potentially dangerous interventions, such as abdominal thrusts, for items which could have been dislodged without intervention. Also, if the choking is caused by an irritating substance rather than an obstructing one, and if conscious, the patient should be allowed to drink water on their own to try to clear the throat. Since the airway is already closed, there is very little danger of water entering the lungs. Coughing is normal after most of the irritant has cleared, and at this point the patient will probably refuse any additional water for a short time.
The majority of protocols now advocate the use of hard blows with the heel of the hand on the upper back of the victim. The number to be used varies by training organization, but is usually between five and twenty. For example, the Mayo Clinic recommends five blows between the shoulder blades.[7]
The back slap is designed to use percussion to create pressure behind the blockage, assisting the patient in dislodging the article. In some cases the physical vibration of the action may also be enough to cause movement of the article sufficient to allow clearance of the airway.
Almost all protocols give back slaps as a technique to be used before potentially damaging interventions such as abdominal thrusts.[8][9] Henry Heimlich, noted for promulgating abdominal thrusts, claimed that back slaps were proven to cause death by lodging foreign objects into the windpipe.[10] The 1982 Yale study by Day, DuBois, and Crelin that "persuaded the American Heart Association to stop recommending back blows for dealing with choking...was partially funded by Heimlich's own foundation."[11] According to Roger White MD of the Mayo Clinic and American Heart Association (AHA), "There was never any science here. Heimlich overpowered science all along the way with his slick tactics and intimidation, and everyone, including us at the AHA, caved in."[12]
Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver (after Henry Heimlich), can dislodge foreign bodies from the airway. (Heimlich has objected to the name "abdominal thrusts" on the grounds that the vagueness of the term "abdomen" could cause the rescuer to exert force at the wrong site.[13])
Performing abdominal thrusts involves a rescuer standing behind a patient and using his or her hands to exert pressure on the bottom of the diaphragm. This compresses the lungs and exerts pressure on any object lodged in the trachea, hopefully expelling it. This amounts to an artificial cough. For example, WebMD recommends the rescuer placing his or her fist just above the person's bellybutton and grasping with other hand. To assist a larger person, more force may be needed.[14] The Mayo Clinic recommends the same placement of fist and hand and upward thrusts as if you are trying to lift the person. In addition, keep trying and alternate between five back blows, five abdominal thrusts, five back blows, and so on.[7]
Due to the forceful nature of the procedure, even when done correctly, it can injure the person on whom it is performed. Bruising to the abdomen is highly likely and more serious injuries can occur, including fracture of the xiphoid process or ribs.[15]
In some areas, such as Australia, authorities believe that there is not enough scientific evidence to support the use of abdominal thrusts and their use is not recommended in first aid. Instead, chest thrusts are recommended.[16]
A modified version of the technique is sometimes taught for use with pregnant and/or obese patients. The rescuer places their hand in the center of the chest to compress, rather than in the abdomen. Due to the fact that the Heimlich maneuver can inflict numerous injuries, the government of Australia recommends chest compressions for all individuals, irrespective of size, instead of the Heimlich maneuver. These compressions are performed by applying pressure to the lower portion of the sternum in a manner which is quicker than the chest compressions done in CPR.[17] A study by the Norwegian Department of Research and Education in Acute Medicine demonstrated that chest compressions are more effective than the Heimlich maneuver.[18]
A person may also perform abdominal thrusts on himself by using a fixed object such as a railing or the back of a chair to apply pressure where a rescuer's hands would normally do so. As with other forms of the procedure, it is possible that internal injuries may result.
The American Medical Association advocates sweeping the fingers across the back of the throat to attempt to dislodge airway obstructions, once the choking victim becomes unconscious.[19]
Some protocols advocate the use of the rescuer's finger to 'sweep' foreign objects away once they have reached the mouth.[citation needed] However, many modern protocols recommend against the use of the finger sweep since, if the patient is conscious, they will be able to remove the foreign object themselves, or if they are unconscious, the rescuer should simply place them in the recovery position (where the object should fall out due to gravity). There is also a risk of causing further damage (for instance inducing vomiting) by using a finger sweep technique.
The advanced medical procedure to remove such objects is inspection of the airway with a laryngoscope or bronchoscope, and removal of the object under direct vision, followed by CPR if the patient does not start breathing on their own. Severe cases where there is an inability to remove the object may require cricothyrotomy.
In most protocols, once the patient has become unconscious, the emphasis switches to performing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), involving both chest compressions and artificial respiration. These actions are often enough to dislodge the item sufficiently for air to pass it, allowing gaseous exchange in the lungs.
A tracheostomy is when an incision is made in your neck so that a tube can be put into your trachea to allow your lungs to function.[20] A tracheostomy is performed to allow oxygen rich air to be allowed into your lungs.[21] The procedure is usually only performed when other non-invasive methods have failed Heimlich manoeuvre, back blows. In many cases, an emergency tracheostomy can save a patient's life, but if performed incorrectly, it may end the patient's life. An emergency tracheostomy is highly discouraged without proper, professional medical training.
Dr. Heimlich has advocated the use of the technique as a treatment for drowning[30] and asthma[31] attacks. The Red Cross contests his claims that the maneuver could help drowning victims and someone suffering an asthma attack. The Heimlich Institute has stopped advocating on their website for the Heimlich maneuver to be used as a first aid measure for drowning victims. His son, Peter M. Heimlich, alleges that in August 1974 his father published the first of a series of fraudulent case reports in order to promote the use of abdominal thrusts for near-drowning rescue.[32]

Free Courts in Flushing NY?
Im wondering if there are any courts in Flushing that are free to use without permits. Im here for the summer and id like to just practice serves sometimes but all the courts ive gone to so far need permits/full.
im from the flushing area and i have not been able to find any courts that did not require a permit. however, some parks like cunningham park in fresh meadows are usualy not full during weekdays so u should be able to get some playing time there.

"OMG! This was amazing! I even fudged things up a bit when I put the dish in the oven uncovered for the first half, so I tried to "fix" it by adding bit more milk beaten with an egg to the top, and then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and covered for the additional 30 minutes. Came out absolutely delicious with the most amazing texture! Will definite..."
"Followed the directions exactly except I didn't add the sake/sherry cause I didn't have any. I cut into smaller cubes and let it marinate for 1.5 days - very, very good. It's true I might be hooked on tofu now."
"Excellent! I used to cans cream of chicken, one can of cheddar. I added some chilies and some white cheddar. Very very good!"
"The flavor of these are good, but they're too runny. I refrigerated them to cool and then set them out on the counter for an hour or two and they turned into a huge mess. I'm not sure how I can give them out like this, hopefully (as another reviewer mentioned) they will firm up after being frozen."

A new year is upon us and like everyone else, this is a good time to look back on the previous year and take a closer look at what we achieved.
I'll go ahead and admit to what everyone else is already thinking: We're missing the extra deployment money. It's not that we blew all of the additional pay and didn't save anything. We saved, but we were definitely living a little more comfortably, too. Now, with all of that saved money off limits, hundreds less per paycheck, and the increased expense of feeding a full grown man, we just don't have quite as much fun money as we once did.
When we were young, most everything was good. We made it out of high school and many of us went on to college, trade school, the military, the work force or maybe even hitchhiked across the country. Some of us married our sweethearts and settled down to buy homes and raise families. Others moved far away and some chose to stay nearby or in our hometowns, close to family.
The past week you would have thought we were living in two different states. North of the Gnat Line, it seemed like Siberia. Even possums and yard dogs were hugging each other trying to stay warm. South of the line, folks assumed that God was punishing North Georgia for having taken most of the political power in the last election.
Dear Editor: I have been following the Bryan County News reports since November about the new bullying policy adopted by the Bryan County Board if Education in accordance with the Georgia law passed in May of 2010.
If you are a veteran or the widow(er) of a veteran, you may be entitled to collect $1,000 to $2,000 tax-free per month that you earned through service to our country. Many Bryan County residents, like most veterans nationwide, are still unaware of the aid and attendance benefit available through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Designed to help pay for health-care, this benefit can be a lifesaver if you are facing the challenge of paying spiraling costs while maintaining your quality of life.
Editor's note: State Sen. Buddy Carter, R- Pooler, will periodically provide written updates during the legislative session, which began Jan. 10 and is expected to last until the latter days of March.
Almost instantaneously the horrific shooting in Tucson, Ariz., became the occasion for partisan hatred.
We remain skeptical that the courts will step in to save Yucca Mountain - and, by extension, the Central Savannah River Area.
Among the great things about the deep South is that we have grits, the best college football in the land and very little snow.
Sometimes the most important lessons learned at school don't come from a classroom.
It sneaks up on you, your love for this place. You're assigned this duty station, so you pack up all your bags, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. You arrive in the heart of the summer, and your lungs feel like the humidity just might kill you. You have no friends, no family, no job and no school. Then it happens.
When the state of Georgia arrested four Final Exit Network volunteers, it accused them and our group, which advocates for the right to die with dignity, of assisting in suicides. In doing so, it drew attention to a Georgia law that violates the First Amendment right to free speech - and now FEN has brought an action in U.S. District Court to defend its rights.
Year 2010 was not the year of the Georgia Bulldogs football team. Coach Mark Richt's team just could not seem to get anything right in 2010.
To Nicholas Wansley and Brian and Thomas Yarbrough:
In politics, you must take advantage of windows of opportunity. Sometimes good ideas are sidetracked by unfortunate events, a bad economy or even personality conflicts among political leaders. Given the risk of delaying decisions, Georgia needs to address its transportation shortfall quickly and practically.
My fellow Georgians: In order to keep my national certification as a modest and much-beloved columnist, it is required that I submit to you at the first of every year my State of the Column message. (Yay! Clap! Clap! Clap!) I do that gladly today. For one thing, this will be a lot shorter and less boring than the State of the Union address (Boooo!) and, also, we don't have to endure a bunch of fawning politicians trying to be seen on national television. (Yay! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Editor, Since Georgia's own Sen. Johnny Isakson voted for discriminating against pre-9/11 veterans and later against ending this discrimination, I've penned and sent the following to then-Senate Veterans' Affairs Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who introduced the Caregivers Expansion and Improvement Act of 2013:
It happened the other day. It's funny how things so simple can remind us of things so meaningful, of those sweets that are tucked inside our hearts and unknowingly treasured.
Two weeks ago, my husband, daughter and I struggled to come up with a fun way to pass a Sunday afternoon. My mother-in-law had just been staying with us, and she left that morning to head back to Florida. Since I'd given our house a good, thorough "pre-mother-in-law-visit" cleaning before she arrived, I was completely caught up on chores and housework.
With major policy decisions on transportation, education, health care and tax reform on the legislative agenda, Georgia should think beyond the traditional approach of spending more money as the solution for every problem. Focusing on ways to enhance economic opportunity and empower individuals beats doubling down on the status quo.
Editor, On behalf of Bryan County Children's Fund, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who helped to support the program this year. We were able to provide Christmas gifts to over 400 disadvantaged children in our county. This would not have been possible without collaboration and assistance from local churches, businesses, schools, social-service agencies and many others. The communitywide response was overwhelming. We are exceptionally thankful to The Good Ol' Boys, who raised funds through the annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament and to Pembroke Advanced Communication for use of their space ...
Editor, I read Mr. Bruce McCartney's letter to the editor regarding the Wounded Warrior Project. He is totally correct. The project is top-heavy with a greedy group of executives. The top 10 officers have a compensation package from $150,000 to $333,000 a year. The remaining funds are disbursed to over 40 distribution organizations with similar management configurations.
Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes.
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.
When thinking about the $1.1 trillion spending bill passed by Congress last month, one might ask, "What does Congress have against conservation?"
Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough: For the past 15 years, I have taken the opportunity at the beginning of the New Year to share some advice - first with your dad and his cousins and now with you, my great-grandson. I hope you don't mind and will bear with me. You probably would rather be playing with your Legos and I understand that but maybe something in this letter might make a difference in your life in years to come. I pray that will be so.
Editor, I've been seeing a lot more commercials for the Wounded Warrior Project on television recently, requesting that I send in my $19 per month.
A few years ago, the magazine I have long loved - Southern Living - changed. Like most Southerners, I have an aversion to change, which is why our traditions have such stranglehold. We never let go.
There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned road trip to ensure that good parenting habits and ground rules are not only broken, but stomped to smithereens and tossed out of a (moving car) window.

Memphis music tour seeks online 'kick start' funds
Sitting outside the Young Avenue Deli recently, on what happened to be his 45th birthday, indie singer/songwriter Harlan T. Bobo ruminated on the state of the music industry with fellow Memphis garage rocker Jack "Oblivian" Yarber.
While the two appreciate the loyal fans who attend their shows and allow them to pursue the musical calling they love, they also acknowledge the financial hardships facing many artists today.
"It's not cheap, you know? Getting a tour together costs a lot because you've got airfare and hotels and all kinds of expenses on the road," said Oblivian, 44. "That's why we're trying to make this next one as bare bones as possible."
That "next one" will see Bobo and Oblivian, along with Shawn Cripps of the Limes, embark upon a 40-city, 40-day European tour that kicks off in late October.
The group will include a local drummer and a guitarist in what is being billed as a Memphis musical review.
"There's so much good music that comes out of Memphis and fans across the world love it," Bobo said. "There's a cool, kinda funky groove here that people appreciate."
To help the men promote the Memphis sound across the globe, they're turning to technology.
Bobo and Oblivian are asking fans to help finance their tour to the tune of $6,000 via kickstarter.com. The site allows supporters to pledge as little as $1 to help defray costs and, in return, the musicians offer something of personal value.
For example, $10 gets a fan a download of Oblivian's new song. For a more generous patron, $500 yields a variety of goodies, including a tour T-shirt, autographed recordings and a song written by Bobo and Oblivian especially for the donor.
"Anything for the fans," Oblivian said. "We want to make sure they know we're grateful for their help."
So far, nearly $1,500 has been raised and no one has pledged more than $200, but the men remain hopeful that they'll reach their goal by the website's cutoff date. If they can't generate $6,000 by then, the pledges are scrapped and donors aren't charged anything.
"This is the first time we've tried using this technology, so we're not sure how it'll work," Bobo said. "Maybe our fans are the kind of people who are into social media and computers and all that. We hope they are, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
They won't have to wait long. The deadline to submit a pledge is midafternoon on Sept. 25. For more information, visit kickstarter.com and search the site using the keyword "oblivian."

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - High-end retailer Neiman Marcus announced Monday that it has agreed to sell the company to a pair of private equity firms, Texas Pacific Group and Warburg Pincus LLC., for $5.1 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, Texas Pacific Group and Warburg Pincus will acquire all of the outstanding Class A and Class B shares of The Neiman Marcus Group (Research) for $100 a share in cash.
Neiman Marcus shares rose 12 cents to $98.32 on Friday.
According to the deal, each of the investors will own equal stakes in the company upon completion of the transaction.
The sale, which is subject to regulatory approval and approval by the company's shareholders, is expected to be completed by Nov. 1.
The Dallas-based purveyor of luxury goods operates 35 namesake stores in 20 states as well as two Bergdorf Goodman stores in New York City. The company's Neiman Marcus Direct unit operates a mail-order business that distributes catalogs featuring apparel, home furnishings and gourmet food.
The Neiman Marcus sale is the latest in a quick succession of retail mergers & acquisitions to have hit Wall Street in the past few months.
The eruption of activity garnered attention this year when two of the nation's oldest retailers joined forces as Kmart acquired Sears for $11 billion.
Then Federated (Research), owner of Macy's and Bloomingdale's, inked an $11 billion deal in March to buy rival May Department Stores (Research) and a group of investors agreed to buy Toys "R" Us (Research) for about $6.6 billion.
However, industry watchers say the Neiman Marcus sale is unlike these other deals in which the participants were retailers struggling to grow sales and market share.
"Neiman Marcus is selling itself at its peak," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst with market research firm NPD Group. "There was nothing wrong with the company. Neiman Marcus was the retailer of 2004 with strong sales and customer loyalty, and it should continue that momentum."
"We're only in chapter one of a five-chapter story," said Cohen. "This is about recognizing that there is a tremendous amount of capital out there. In effect, what it also shows is that any retailer could be in play today because retail value today is at its premium."
Next among them may be Neiman Marcus' rival Saks (Research), which announced last week that it would sell two regional department store chains for $622 million to Belk Inc.
What does the changing retail landscape mean for consumers?
Said Cohen,"Consumers will have to learn how to shop in a new environment. I think stores will begin to develop their own unique personality again."
Investment banking firms Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan advised The Neiman Marcus Group on the takeover deal.

20 December 2012
Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, has placed a temporary export bar on the last remaining three-masted topsail schooner, Kathleen and May. This will provide a last chance to raise the money to keep the schooner in the United Kingdom.
The Minister's ruling follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest, administered by Arts Council England. The Committee recommended that the export decision be deferred on the grounds that the schooner was so closely connected with our history and national life that her departure would be a misfortune. As the sole surviving wooden three-masted topsail schooner, and the last Welsh-built merchant sailing vessel, Kathleen and May was found to be of outstanding significance for the study of British maritime history and naval architecture.The Kathleen and May is an impressive and unique example of an early 20th century schooner, still in full sailing condition. Commissioned by Chester ship-owner Captain John Coppack, the ship was built in 1900 by Ferguson & Baird at Connah's Quay near Chester.Her working life was spent in the home trade carrying a variety of cargo, sailing between Scotland, London and the Channel Islands. In her first 8 years, Kathleen & May sailed nearly 40,000 miles! She later plied between Cardiff, Ireland, Liverpool and the West Country, and was sold out of trade in 1961. Since then, she has been purchased by the Maritime Trust, and opened to the public in Sutton Harbour, Plymouth, and was towed to St. Katherine Dock London to form part of the Historic Ship Collection. In 1985, when this collection was dispersed, the schooner was sold on, fell into disrepair, before being restored to full working order. Lord Inglewood, Chairman of the Reviewing Committee, said: "The Kathleen and May is a uniquely important vessel, not only to the history of the South West, but also deeply connected with the maritime history of the nation."The decision on the export licence application for the schooner will be deferred for a period ending on 19 February 2013 inclusive. This period may be extended until 19 June 2013 inclusive if a serious intention to raise funds with a view to making an offer to purchase the schooner at the recommended price of £2,000,000 is expressed. -ends-

Hadrian Ellory-van Dekker, who is currently Head of Collections at the Science Museum and a member of the Science Museum Management Team, has been appointed as the Chair of the Museum Accreditation Committee. He brings a wealth of experience to the Committee.
Arts Council England has today (25 September) announced details of The Museum Resilience fund; a new fund that will help to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the sector to maximize the benefits of museums to their communities. A budget of £10 million is available for 2015/16 (with indicative budgets for 2016/17 and 2017/18 remaining at that level).
A remarkable collection of works by Thomas Baines (1820-1875), vividly recording a 19th century British exploration of northern Australia and parts of Indonesia, faces permanent export overseas unless a UK buyer can be found to match the sale price of the works, £2,750,000.
A substantial collection of drawings and prints by Richard Hamilton (1922-2011), one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century, has been accepted from the artist's estate by H M Government in lieu of inheritance tax and allocated to the British Museum. The Acceptance in Lieu (AIL) scheme is administered by the Arts Council and the AIL Panel, chaired by Edward Harley, advises ministers on the suitability of items offered in lieu.A selection of around 20 of the works will be on display in Room 90 of the British Museum from today – 13 June.

Tunnel Collapses Outside Tokyo, and 7 Are Feared Dead
December 2, 2012 6:00 PMTOKYO -- At least seven people were feared dead after a highway tunnel collapsed on Sunday in eastern Japan, trapping them in their vehicles and starting a fire that filled the passage with thick, black smoke.
Three vehicles appeared to have been crushed under concrete that fell from the ceiling of the three-mile Sasago Tunnel near the city of Otsuki in Yamanashi Prefecture, about 50 miles west of Tokyo, the national disaster management agency said. Officials from the agency and the police said it remained unclear why a section of the tunnel -- 150 to 200 feet of eight-inch-thick concrete that weighed about 180 tons -- suddenly fell.
A vehicle carrying six people caught fire, whose heavy smoke initially prevented firefighters from entering the tunnel. But even after putting out the blaze, rescuers had to temporarily suspend efforts to reach the vehicles inside because of the danger of a further collapse, officials said.
Rescue efforts resumed later in the day, though progress was slow.
A 28-year-old woman managed to escape from the vehicle that caught fire, officials said. She told firefighters that five other people remained inside. It was unclear how many people were in the other trapped vehicles besides the drivers.
One of the other vehicles appeared to be a truck belonging to a food wholesaler, officials said. The truck's driver called his company right after the accident to ask for help, they said, but officials were later unable to reach him on his cellphone.
The operator of the highway, the Central Nippon Expressway, held a news conference to apologize for the accident. The police said they had opened an investigation into the cause of the collapse and about whether professional negligence by the operator was a factor.
The accident closed a section of the Chuo Expressway, which connects Tokyo to western Japan. Such long tunnels -- usually lined with smooth, white concrete -- are common on highways in the mountainous island nation.

I bought it in hopes that it would become an easy morning option for both city sun protection and some coverage for my dryish skin. Well it didn't work neither way. The application is cakey and the coverage is more than I wanted. It also makes my skin look flat although it's stuffed with shimmer (!!!). It clings to eyebrows and dry patches too. For a decent sun protection one should use a lot of product which is no problem with lighter foundations or TMs like my favorite Paula's Choice Barely There Tint 30 SPF. Here with Almay I just can't use a lot because of dry and heavy feeling it goes with. And lastly it cause mild redness in my rosacea prone area around nose. Returning to the store!

I am a 50 year old woman with combination skin. This foundation is horrible!!! I bought it because I read good reviews but the truth is that this product sucks. I applied it with my fingers and blended easily but when i finished the application my face looked greasy and sparkling!!! Yes! Lots and lots of shimmer . Itvmade me look older and with a sweating look , not fresh . I tried to take it off with soft soap but it was impossible, then i put cold cream all over my face and retired the product with effort. I!ll never buy it again. My best drugstore foundation alternatives are: revlon Colorstay combination, l'oreal infallible 16 hr and max factor lasting performance .

Good coverage and color, and I appreciate that it has SPF, but it made my skin feel very dry and tight. Also tough to remove -- definitely need an oil-based cleanser.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Neutral Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I initially bought this because I have been breaking out the past six months and believe it may be caused by the cosmetics I have been using over the last year or so. So after reading about which make ups are the best for acne prone skin, Almay kept popping up. It's hypoallergenic, oil-free & non-comedogenic.
I have now been using this with the smart shade concealer for about 2 weeks and I am pretty satisfied. The medium shade matches my skin well and it's easy to apply. It is reasonably priced and hasn't made me breakout. I feel good knowing that it isn't bad for my skin, also. My only complaint is that when my skin is dry it can tend to look slightly ashy. But it does the job well enough.

Never realized how much I loved this foundation until on a whim I tried something else. Coverage is more sheer than many, blends beautifully, evens skin tone. Almost think of it as a bb or cc. A little goes a long way. I just dab on with my finger tips and then blend. I wish the packaging had a pump, but it works and its inexpensive. If there's something out there that is better, I want to know what it is

"It was a pleasure to burn." Why does Bradbury start Fahrenheit 451 in this way, as though it would be more pleasurable to burn books rather than read them?
1 Answer | Add Yours
"Ignorance is bliss" is a common saying, and if you can put yourself in Montag's shoes, or any of the firemen like him, it's not hard to see how good it might feel. How simple an existence, right? No need to think, to be challenged, no need for complications or gray areas, everything in the world in front of Montag's kerosene flame thrower is black and white.
Burn them, purge them, purify the society. This is the fireman's unofficial mantra, or could be anyway. And this is how they are able to go home and sleep well at night, how Montag is so seemingly content, at least in the beginning, and why Bradbury chooses the perfect six words to start the story with:
It was a pleasure to burn.
Yet another way to think about this is to think about how intoxicating it would be to have the authority, fear and respect Montag did. There were those in Nazi uniforms (and countless other governments, actually) who did horrible things, not because they were born immoral, but because the power they held was addictive and pleasurable and it corrupted their souls.

There may be an explanation for our "leading from behind"…. Do we have to be the policemen of the world? Do we have to be the one and only superpower? Or could we imagine ourselves a nation among nations. Could we imagine a foreign policy based on justice, rather than power. — Bill Ayers If Ayers really does have the president's ear, this would explain a great many things about where we are and where we're headed. GoodMojo He certainly seems to have no fear of "Homegrown Right-Wing Terrorists". Tallyman To have justice, ye or a God must have the power to enforce your rules. Some ideas of justice like fairness, no one left behind, everyone has equal outcomes, retribution, reparation, an eye for an eye, all are equal, each according to his need all require a defining mechanism or guidebook. The Pilgrims learned in their Commonwealth with equal sharing during their first year, supposedly under a just God, that idealism and equality conflict with the reality of human behavior. Man, animals, plants and all living and non-living things obey natural rules which ignore any structure called justice. Survival of the fittest destroys the unfit in a species, but in the end improves the survival of the the remainders and their gene pool. Ayers and his fellow traveler, Barack, worship at a Marxist shrine and fail to see their supposed good is destructive in application. Even Ayers's imagined justice requires a power to enforce its rules. Visions of Marxist justice dance in Barack's head. Igor And yet…. he'd be the first to squeal if HE went overseas and got kidnapped or something bad happened to him. Such are hypocrites. Koala Why should he have to go overseas? We might get lucky and someone in the US will kidnap him.

We've all been bread on the romantic fantasy – pumped into our psyches from Jane Austen to Hollywood – that you just "know" when you've met "the one" and your massive "chemistry" will propel you into ecstasy as you fulfill the fantasy of the perfect engagement that leads to the perfect marriage. While my clients may rationally know that this is a fantasy, successfully shattering the fantasy and rebuilding the conditioning on solid ground requires intentional work and often guidance. If this work isn't done, one or both partners will carry the false beliefs about love into their marriage and the ground for having an affair is laid – so to speak.
When an engaged woman or man calls me for counseling during their engagement and are so fraught with anxiety that they're feeling sick, I try to impress upon them the fact they're the lucky ones: the anxiety became so disruptive that they had to seek help and, by doing so, they found me and became more prepared for their marriage than the ones who flew through the engagement focusing more on their flower arrangements than their inner world. For there is nothing more important during an engagement than becoming emotionally prepared for the marriage transition.
I don't have a crystal ball and I can't promise a lifetime guarantee, but I can offer my clients a greater likelihood of succeeding in their relationships by providing them with the tools that will allow them to walk through the portal of marriage – the wedding – with as much consciousness as possible. Being conscious means recognizing that the engagement is a time to analyze your relationship, often putting it under a painfully high-resolution microscope. Being conscious means recognizing that the engagement, while on one level is a time to plan your wedding, on a deeper level is about preparing yourself emotionally and psychologically for marriage. Being conscious means accepting that you might not feel happy or excited for much of your engagement as you find yourself in foreign emotional territories and have to grapple with the enormity of making a lifetime commitment to the one you love. Being conscious is not always easy or fun, but it's the only way to walk through any transition and emerge on the other side prepared for what the new life has to offer. And being conscious means you reduce the likelihood that you'll have an affair in your first year because you're entering marriage with your eyes wide open.
