Have you aver pretended to speak a language? I managed to fool a firiend or two into believing that I know Russian just by speaking something that sounds like Russian.
here's an example of a conversation in fake Russian :
It sound pretty legit to me :)
So , ever tried this? In any language :)
I think that is inevitable :D
I think it happens a lot. I liked the videos, especially the fake Turkish one :D
I tried same expirience with Chinese :) It was a joke but my friends almost trusted me.
I have tried it in Italian to my friends, and they believed that I could speak Italian. Whereas, I pretended to speak Italian by adding "O" in every words I said. But yeah, I was only joking at that moment.
I know this is necromancy , but this girl is the best I've seen so far :
All that I understood from this dialogue is:
- Сигаретку?
- Спасибо...
- Саша, нет, нет, пожалуйста!
- Шесть долларов!
- Спасибо, Саша, спасибо!
My friends are not really interested in languages so what i say is not that important to them. Even if it's too clear that i'm pretending they believe me so fast and it makes it boring. For your videos i liked them especially the Turkish one :D It was funny to watch, though i didn't understand the conversation much as a Turkish :D Keep up the good work. And sorry if my English is bad ^^
Sound is not like Russian

range of food pairings. -
Beautiful colour with straw-yellow highlights. Abundant fine bubbles. Intense, pleasant on the nose. Fruity at first, then hawthorn-flowery and slightly musky. Pleasant harmony on the palate, good freshness and liveliness. Lingering fruitiness: apple and pear.

text: Gretel and Ozzie's pups arrived on December 9th. We have 1 male and 3 females available. All pups are orange beltons. They will be dual registered with both the FDSB and AKC. Annie and Doc's pups arrived on December 13th. Both males and females are available. There is lots of color in this litter. We know there will be blue beltons, possibly tri's and orange beltons in this litter. They will be dual registered with both the FDSB and the AKC. This was the first breeding on Gretel and Annie and we weren't sure they would catch so one was insurance for the other. Feast or famine when it comes to pups. Choice of pups is given in the order the deposits are received. We started breeding English Setters about 15 years ago. It has taken us several generations to get to this point, but we feel that this batch of puppies are truly our own. We started with some good quality dogs from other kennels, thew in a touch of a very bridy bench dog, with dual champions, champions and grand champions in her lineage. She would give our dogs some refinement, fresh blood and add to the confirmation and brid sense also. She was brought in special for Toska and they produced some exceptional offspring. Each of these litters is sired by offspring of theirs.

Antinuclear antibody testing in obstetric patients. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 14750494 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVES: To assess possible associations between the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and pregnancy outcome in order to determine the significance of this test in obstetric practice. METHODS: A case-control study was performed on 408 patients admitted to an obstetric high care unit and on whom ANA testing was consecutively performed. The study group consisted of 46 patients who tested positive for ANAs and a control group of 92 patients who tested negative for ANAs. In addition to demographic data, indications for admission and pregnancy outcome were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Of the 46 patients with a positive ANA result, 28 had an antinuclear pattern, 13 an anticytoplasmic pattern and 5 an antinuclear and an anticytoplasmic pattern. No significant differences were observed between the two groups (ANA-positive and negative) with regard to demographic data, indication for admission, clinical and laboratory data, and pregnancy outcome. The patients were also tested for anticardiolipin antibodies, and significantly more patients with severe pre-eclampsia tested positive (24% versus 4.7%, p = 0.01). No difference in HIV status and presence of autoantibodies was found between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The presence of ANAs was not associated with adverse pregnancy outcome. Therefore routine patient testing for ANAs in an obstetric high-care unit is not recommended. |

Spelling errors don't bother me nearly as much as those that can't distiguish between 'then' and 'than' and when it should be used in a sentence.
Another one would be 'they're', 'their', and 'there'.

More than once, I've created a work related letter where I've typed "I apologize for the incontinence." instead of 'inconvenience'. Due to the fact that I have a mental block on the spelling of 'inconvenience' and spell check corrects it to 'incontinence'. Try explaining that one to your peers.

I hate poor spelling or bad grammar. I type the bulletins and newsletters for our church and I proofread very carefully. But I sit down in church on Sunday morning, open the bulletin and immediately see a mistake. I don't know why it is so hard to see problems until they are in print.

And for the retentive grammar police, it helps to assume that the poster does have a grasp of the English language and that this board does not represent the sum total of of his/her abilities. |

I have compiled lots of information about the REEVES, STONE, & WASSON familes from central Mississippi and the WIGLEY, BOYETT and SCARBOROUGH families from Mississippi and North Carolina. I spent the decade of the 1970's researching these families and am just now organizing the information into a manageable format. I am very interested in sharing and comparing this information with any other interested people. |

Watch: Brett Favre gives draft predictions while looking like Paul Bunyan
05/08/2014 at 11:18 am By Anthony Ramsey
Here's something you don't see everyday; watch future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre — now 44 and four years into retirement — giving an NFL Draft preview while also inviting all viewers to the gun show:
If anyone knows why or how Favre now looks like a middle linebacker, we'd like to know. Also, curious minds are interested if Favre takes his steroid martinis shaken or stirred.

REVIEWED: SEAL Team 666 WRITTEN BY: Weston Ochse PUBLISHED: Nov
REVIEWED: SEAL Team 666
WRITTEN BY: Weston Ochse
PUBLISHED: November, 2012
This is the second full-length Ochse novel I've read (after SCARECROW GODS) and thus also the second full-length Ochse novel that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Each book is written in a distinctive voice, but SEAL TEAM 666 may be the more appealing to me only because of the subject matter: American SEAL Team special operations that fight against the country's "Supernatural Enemies." That's right... good ol' American weaponry, firepower, and kickass attitude against demons, monsters, golems, otherworldly possession, and a whole slew of further inhuman forces. The book is fast-paced, gripping, and filled with action as well as a full range of emotions from empathetic sorrow to rapid-fire joking. Great book to escape into for a wild adventure.

D-League Dream Factory Friday Night Preview
Otto Kitsinger/Getty Images/NBAE |
by Matthew Brennan, D-League.com
NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2008 All-Star weekend just got even more exciting with the introduction of D-League Dream Factory Friday Night. This year's inaugural event, which will be held at Jam Session Center Court in New Orleans on February 15 at 9 p.m. ET, features D-League players (and even some fans), participating in four different events, including the long awaited return of H.O.R.S.E. to All-Star Weekend. Let's take a look at each event, the event rules, and the participants.
Two preliminary rounds of two games each will be played with the winners of the first two rounds competing in a final round for the title of H.O.R.S.E. Champion. Each round will be capped at five minutes, and will utilize a 24 second shot clock. Participants will be outfitted with a wireless microphone in order for fans to hear the player call his shot.
H.O.R.S.E. Participants | ||||||
41 | Lance Allred (Idaho) | C | 6-11 | 250 | 2/1/81 | Weber State |
24 | Morris Almond (Utah) | G | 6-6 | 225 | 2/2/85 | Rice |
15 | Kasib Powell (Sioux Falls) |
F | 6-7 | 215 | 3/18/81 | Texas Tech |
23 | Jeremy Richardson (Fort Wayne) | F | 6-7 | 190 | 2/11/83 | Delta State |
H.O.R.S.E., the staple of gyms and playgrounds everywhere, makes a return to All-Star weekend and four D-League All-Stars will be trying to match each other's trick shots. It might be difficult to predict a winner in an event like this, but Utah's Morris Almond could be a favorite after scoring a D-League record 53 points last week. Fort Wayne's Jeremy Richardson, who earned GATORADE Call-Ups to the Spurs and the Grizzlies this season, is the most accurate long-range shooter after connecting on .409 (18-44) of his attempts from beyond the arc this season. The majority of Idaho All-Star big man Lance Allred's shots come from within the paint, but both he and Sioux Fall's Kasib Powell could have some tricks up their sleeves. Allred is a perfect 2-2 from three-point range this season, so maybe he has some unknown wrinkles to his game that will be unveiled through the game of H.O.R.S.E. The event and the rest of Dream Factory Friday Night will be streamed live on D-League.com so be sure to check it out if you can't make it to the event in New Orleans.
The Slam Dunk Competition, which will consist of two rounds of two dunks each, will begin with each dunker submitting their top two dunks and selecting a fan from the crowd who will choose the first dunk to be performed in the first round of competition. A composite total of the scores from the first round of dunks of competition will be tallied for each dunker and the dunkers with the two highest scores will compete in a Championship round consisting of two dunk attempts. Participants will be allowed one replacement dunk per attempt.
Dunk Contest Participants | ||||||
15 | Brent Petway (Idaho) | F | 6-8 | 210 | 5/12/85 | Michigan |
24 | Eric Smith (Fort Wayne) | F | 6-8 | 210 | 5/13/83 | Virginia |
4 | Mike Taylor (Idaho) | G | 6-2 | 165 | 1/21/86 | Iowa State |
21 | Doug Thomas (Iowa) | F | 6-9 | 235 | 9/20/83 | Iowa |
"Air Georgia", Idaho's Brent Petway, has to be considered the favorite here. Petway was the first runner-up in last year's 2007 NCAA Dunk Contest at the Final Four, so he has already proven that he can bring it in the dunk contest format. If you don't remember, Brent refreshes your memory in the first entry to his D-Scribes blog. Petway, who is a key player off the bench for the 22-5 Stampede, will be joined in the contest by his teammate Mike Taylor. Taylor is the shortest participant at 6-2, which might be able to gain him some love from the crowd. Two big men will also try their hand in the dunk contest in the form of Iowa's 6-9 Doug Thomas and Fort Wayne's 6-8 Eric Smith. The size difference between the competitors should make this contest even more entertaining, as it could come down to a power vs. style compeitition.
Layne Murdoch/Getty Images/NBAE |
Each competitor will have 60 seconds to sink up to 21 three-pointers from seven shooting stations assembled around the three-point line. Each station will have two orange balls (worth one point each) and one money ball (worth two points) which may only be attempted after both orange balls have been shot. The participants with the top two scores from the first round will advance to the championship round.
Three-Point Shootout Participants | ||||||
7 | Josh Gross (Albuquerque) | F | 6-6 | 205 | 11/25/83 | UNC-Greensboro |
21 | Adam Harrington (Tulsa) | F | 6-5 | 200 | 6/5/80 | Auburn |
15 | Keith Langford (Austin) | G | 6-4 | 210 | 9/15/83- | Kansas |
50 | Kaniel Dickens (Colorado) | F | 6-8 | 235 | 7/21/78 | Idaho |
Four of the league's premier long-distance marksmen will be competing in the three-point shootout. Colorado's Kaniel Dickens could be the favorite here as he is dominated the leaderboard in three-pointers made with 88 to date. Tulsa's Adam Harrington, who has made 48 this season, will represent the Tulsa's 66ers while Albuquerque's Josh Gross has made 25 shots from beyond the arc this season. Austin's Keith Langford, one of the league's leading scorers, has connected on 39 of his 93 long-range attempts this season. Since this contest is about accuracy (in addition to quantity), Harrington will also be a force to be reckoned with as he has connected on 50 percent (48-96) of his three-point field goals this season.
Hot-Shot participants take to the floor to compete in a race against the clock to score the most points with the help of a D-League fan. Each team will have one minute to tally the highest score from four designated shooting spots on the court, including a one-point layup, a two-point foul shot, a three-pointer from behind the arc, and a five-point half-court shot, with the fan only eligible to shoot from the lay-up position. Two teams will compete simultaneously, one on each end of the court, during the first round with the winners advancing to a final round of head-to-head competition where the stakes are high the fan from the winning squad will have an opportunity to be a judge in the Slam Dunk Competition.
Hot-Shot Rules | ||||||
7 | Andre Barrett (Bakersfield) | G | 5-10 | 173 | 2/21/82 | Seton Hall |
32 | Randy Livingston (Idaho) | G | 6-4 | 210 | 4/2/75 | LSU |
15 | Carlos Powell (Dakota) | F | 6-7 | 220 | 8/29/83 | South Carolina |
18 | Billy Thomas (Colorado) | G | 6-5 | 220 | 12/23/75 | Kansas |
Four of the league's best ballhandlers and shooters will take part in this contest, including Randy Livingston and Andre Barrett, who are ranked 1-2 in assists in the D-League. Colorado's Billy Thomas is also one of the league's best point guards, earning a GATORADE Call-Up to the Nets earlier this season. The reigning D-League Performer of the Week, Dakota's Carlos Powell, rounds out the field. Powell is one of the league's leading scorers, checking in at third in the league with 22.3 points per game. Of course, this event features fan involvement, so their skills could make all of the difference when it comes to which team emerges as the winner.

Self-Fourier functions and self-Fourier operators
JOSA A, Vol. 23, Issue 4, pp. 829-834 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (88 KB)
The concept of self-Fourier functions, i.e., functions that equal their Fourier transform, is almost always associated with specific functions, the most well known being the Gaussian and the Dirac delta comb. We show that there exists an infinite number of distinct families of these functions, and we provide an algorithm for both generating and characterizing their distinct classes. This formalism allows us to show the existence of these families of functions without actually evaluating any Fourier or other transform-type integrals, a task often challenging and frequently not even possible.

Thank You's / Ice Bowl Thanks!« on: February 16, 2011, 10:30:09 PM »
A side note first, I'm looking at the posts & it seems I own this part of the message board. Well here's another one, a thank you.
Thanks to you how ever you were involved. Like I already said the goal is to raise money (fundraiser). To have a tournament you need players & that raises money. Not all that give, give money, therefore the raffle & that raises money. Just so you know,I have had NO connection with the Mission before last year. It started with supporting with the Northern Illinois Food Bank. My comment to that is the locals may not be familiar with that name. I knew Morning Star is a brand name in Joliet & it may be easier, with that thought, to get donations. I think it was true, we'd have $300.00 maybe. I don't think anyone in Joliet knows about Northern Illinois Food Bank. Thanks again J-Town. 153

J-Town Ice Bowl / Ice Bowl $5,700 Total« on: February 11, 2011, 09:21:53 PM »
I put this here for hopefully for more attention.
So far with the tournaments that have turned in their donations, we're 3rd, behind Tulsa, who raised $5,643.00 & had 215 players. It would be a disappointment not to get another $45.00 & get ahead of Tulsa. I realize I may be the only one disappointed. I'm going to the Mission Monday at 1:00 pm so if I can meet you, let me know. 157

J-Town Ice Bowl / What Great Day / Week« on: February 05, 2011, 07:18:26 PM »
If you've been following the posts this week, you will also have noticed the people that helped. I want to add what a pleasure it was today. The work my fellow board members was outstanding!
I also want to make note of the respect Terri said she got from the disc golfers. The Herald News was out today. The Sunday paper reaches 39,000. town was in there a few weeks ago. I think Dean was responsible for that. If it's put in it's more exposure & good PR. Just think about our club is helping an organization that has been in Joliet for over 100 years. They get a huge donations from the community & we're part of that. Our club will be noticed for doing such a good thing. This was a rough week with 20" of snow & we rose to the occasion. The J-Town board put the frosting on the cake. Thanks everyone, it's a good thing we did. PS The scores were up before most left the parking lot. 162
J-Town Ice Bowl / Free Donuts Ice Bowlers« on: February 04, 2011, 07:07:28 AM »

J-Town Ice Bowl / Tees for Ice Bowl« on: January 28, 2011, 10:12:41 PM »
As some of you know we're having a fundraiser, Ice Bowl 02/05/11. What I think most if not all would agree, is to have footing from the tees. At these warmer temperatures & play on the tees. the footprints turn to ice. The tees are going to be cleaned, as needed for our Ice Bowl on a regular basis. The short story is Shawn Harmon, Flash, John Marron, let me help on 1 tee.
Thanks fellas! There is snow in the forcast this week, & I may need help with the tees, let me know if you can help. It may or may not be needed. From experience, I can count on me. 164

Leagues & Tourneys / Raffle Tickets« on: January 21, 2011, 09:53:27 PM »
To date it seems I'm the lone ranger in getting donations for the Ice Bowl. Last year we had CTP's as a bonus n/c. This is a fundraiser for an organization that's helped people in our community for over 100 years. It's life blood depends on local donations.
Everything I've collected will be raffled, with a $100.00 Grand Prize. I discussed this with Thor & he agrees. We feel that winning something is a bonus. My effort for this event started Thanksgiving, my son reminded me. I've driven countless miles & spent as many hours, not only to promote our club, but for a worthy cause. It will give you a better chance to win something in the raffle. It's around 40 right now. For those of you that disagree, beat the bushes, your efforts can be ctps. I want to give kudos to Dave K. & Scott Coyne. They overheard me asking for support, & came up to me & donated. Others like Matt Coyne & Shawn Harmon are always there, always. I'm disappointed in some & if the shoe fits, wear it. If you don't believe in the cause, believe in the club!!! Well.............that's two hours of my life! |

Most popular dog breeds in America
These guys are happy because their little brains literally can't grasp the concept of global warming.
Topics: Contraception, Republican Party, 2012 Elections, Editor's Picks, Politics News
What the hell are the Republicans thinking?
That's the implicit question driving much of the media coverage of the right's adventures on the contraception front, from an aspirin-between-the-legs "joke" to an all-male revue's passing as a congressional panel: Are Republicans really willing to raise the specter of their retrograde thinking when, as research has shown, so many American women have counted on contraception at some point in their lives?
It's a provocative question, but the chatter in Republican circles is that it's also one that's beside the point. Sure, the contraception issue might have been foisted upon them by a complicit George Stephanopoulos when he asked about the possibility of states banning contraception during a January New Hampshire GOP presidential debate. (Prompting the classic Romneyism: "George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising.") But rather than run away from it as a political loser or liberal ambush, some Republicans are seeing an upside in the raging debate: It's a chance, they argue, to prove to Americans that Barack Obama truly does want to weasel his way into every aspect of American life. And they're counting on voters to recognize that fact come fall.
"It's not really about whether contraception would be included in insurance coverage," says Tim LeFever, talking about the approach to including birth control in the plans of religious employers that the Obama administration is selling as a compromise with the Catholic Church. LeFever runs the Capitol Resource Institute, a Focus-on-the-Family-type group, and is a California real estate lawyer. Access to contraception is settled law, he points out, some 50 years after the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Griswold v. Connecticut. "It's that with our country's tradition of religious liberty, Obama would step in like he did. Very few people consider the compromise anything more than a wink and a nod. Most of us say, 'Of course we're still paying for it. You're still going to war against our conscience.' "
And that, argue Republicans, is what this debate is all about. It's not birth control. "The argument has been made that 98 percent of Catholic women have used contraception," says LeFever. "But then the counterargument is that 98 percent of Catholic women have found a way to get contraception."
What it's really about is the Obama administrations desire – no, need – to inject itself into aspects of American life that were once beyond the government's grasp. Starting, of course, with healthcare.
"What we're seeing with preventive services is the tip of the iceberg as Obamacare goes into its implementation phase," says Jennifer Marshall, director of domestic policy studies at the DC-based Heritage Foundation. "There are a number of morally fraught questions that in the past we've been able to determine the answer to ourselves, but where we've not handed the moral compass to regulators."
Here, it's the Catholic Church's stand on contraception. But next it will be the Obama administration's involvement in parental decisions about their own children's health needs. Conservatives warn that these choices are going to be standardized from here on out, the inevitable byproduct of a centralized approach to healthcare. That the government is determining which questions of conscience or cost should apply to a healthcare quandary isn't just a problem for religious institutions, argues Marshall. It's something that makes small business owners uneasy as they look at what in-the-weeds decisions about the provisioning of services the government will make next.
And in that, Marshall finds support from the pollsters. Ed Goeas runs the Tarrance Group, a Republican polling and strategy firm. "Forcing a church hospital or a church school to move against the ideas of the church is really one step away from doing the same on abortion," says Goeas. "Abortion is legal in this country, but there's always been a question about access. What do you do about low-income [women], about the military? That's a leap forward," says Goeas. "But slippery slope arguments are persuasive with voters. Infringements on religious freedoms is a persuasive argument with voters."
That Democrats have been eager to parlay the Republican reaction to Obama's contraception decision, and the subdebates that have rippled from it, into a "war on women," to borrow a phrase that has been much in the air over the last few weeks, isn't necessarily causing a great deal of agitation, either.
"It's such a fantasy," says Cindy Graves, president of the Florida Federation of Republican Women. "I'm offended as a woman. It's part of a ploy to rally women, but I can't believe that anyone actually believes that hyperbole." LeFever, who has worked to rally evangelical's behind Rick Santorum, says he understands that his candidate's musings about the dangers or birth control might be coming across as "moralizing or judgmental." But, he says, "what I don't get is the fear or hysteria."
What sort of political legs does the "war on women" slogan have, I asked Goeas. He let out a hearty laugh. "It fits into the category of 'nice try.'"
Goeas puts some numbers behind that take. "Many of the women that react that way" – as in, who come away from the present debate over contraception with the idea that Republicans are eager to whittle down their right to conceive and bear children as they see fit – "aren't Republican voters to begin with." According to a new poll of 1,000 likely voters to be released next week, says Goeas, Republicans and Democrats do equally well on the question of which party best shares their values, tied at 46 percent. There's only a tiny gender gap. Men lean 48 to 45 percent Republican, while women lean towards Democrats at a rate of 47 to 43 percent.
"If you're looking at whether in fact Republicans are losing women, you can't just look at young women, or young single women, or African-American women, or Hispanic women – you have to look at the demographics where Republicans have been strong – white women, for example, or senior women." Slippage among those groups would be cause to worry, says Goeas. "And I'm seeing no sign of that."
"In the general [election]," he went on, "I think you're going to find that this is a trap for the Democrats. They're not going to score as many points with it as they might think. Even though you're seeing a slight edge for the president on the generic ballot, with Catholic voters he's trailing behind a Republican candidate as much as 20 percent."
About a quarter of the American population is Catholic, points out Goeas. That's a considerable number of voters who might be persuaded by Obama's stance on the contraception question. Then there's a group that Goeas calls a "subtle army," those religious voters who, beyond just Catholics, might see worrying signs in the newly hammered-out birth control policy. Add to that the swing voters who might be nervous about the federal government's high-profile involvement in everything from healthcare to, say, the automobile industry. This analysis shows why even vote-counting conservatives aren't bothered by talking contraception day in and day out.
At the very least, Republicans comfort themselves with the expectation that come November, the nuances of contraception won't be much on the minds of voters one way or another. Graves, the Florida grassroots leader, admits that the optics of the guys-only House hearing on contraception weren't all that spectacular. "Anyone who plans things for a living should have had a more diversified panel," she concedes. "But with the Middle East blowing up and gas prices up to $5 – so you can't even afford to drive yourself to the hospital to have a baby – I think we're really off message."
"Do I think that this is going to turn anyone away from the Republican Party?," Graves asks herself. "Heck no. Anyone who loves liberty is going to object to the Obama administration continuing to put themselves into people's lives, into our businesses, into healthcare. Most people are going to turn away from them."
That's the hope, at least, among Republicans – that what women will take away from the great contraception debate of 2012 isn't that Republicans want to roll them back to the days when women were saddled with figuring out how to manage the trickier aspects of their sexual and reproductive lives, and to do it quietly, at their own expense, and without making a fuss of it. To Republicans, the lesson they're hoping voters take from this moment is that there's nothing left in American life that Barack Obama is content to let pass quietly, without making a big fuss.

An Iraqi strongman calls
Posted: 21/01/2013 Filed under: Gulf and Middle East Security, Sarah Johnstone, Toby Dodge | Tags: Charge of the Knights, Iran, Iraq, Iraqiyya, Nuri al-Maliki, Russia, sectarianism, State of Law, Syria Leave a commentBy Sarah Johnstone, Assistant editor, online
As 'Genghis Khan with a telephone' in the 1930s, Joseph Stalin routinely picked up the receiver late at night to issue instructions that led to the imprisonment or execution of millions. Author Toby Dodge probably wouldn't compare current Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to the brutal Soviet leader; at the launch of his new book last week he steered away from describing Maliki as despotic as former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. Nonetheless, Dodge's portrayal of the Iraqi premier is of a man with 'clear dictatorial ambitions' who understands the utility of the telephone.
Dodge's just-released Iraq: From War to a New Authoritarianism recounts how the PM's office in Baghdad has subverted the military chain of command, directly 'ringing up mid-ranking officers and issuing orders to them on their mobile phones'. It is one of the methods by which an initially unremarkable, 'grey' politician has managed to centralise power in the weak office of the Iraqi prime minister since his appointment in early 2006.
Iraq slides towards a new dictatorship
Posted: 11/05/2012 Filed under: Gulf and Middle East Security, Toby Dodge, US | Tags: Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki, Toby Dodge Leave a commentIraq is undoubtedly moving towards dictatorship under Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, IISS Senior Consulting Fellow for the Middle East Dr Toby Dodge said this week in a discussion at IISS-US. However, Dodge argued that a more muscular US commitment to promoting democracy in Iraq might prevent Maliki from assuming absolute control of the country.
Bombings rise sharply in Iraq
Posted: 21/03/2012 Filed under: Becca Wasser, Gulf and Middle East Security, US | Tags: bomb attacks, Iraq Leave a commentBy Becca Wasser, Program Officer and Research Analyst, IISS-US
A series of coordinated bomb attacks shook Iraq yesterday, on the ninth anniversary of the US-led invasion and just days before the Arab League summit, scheduled for 27-29 March. The blasts bore all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which soon claimed responsibility, saying that it had wished to derail the 'meeting of Arab tyrants in Baghdad'. Parliamentary speaker Osama al-Nujaifi had already blamed the terrorists for wanting to keep Iraq 'feeling the effects of violence and destruction'.
The latest bombings – in Kirkuk, Karbala, Samarra, Baghdad and other cities – are part of an upsurge in violence following the withdrawal of US troops on 18 December 2011. In the first three months since troops left (to 18 March 2012) there were 204 bombings – a 70% increase on the same period last year. With no more real US military targets in the country, the spike necessarily means that Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence has increased, and illustrates the need for a strengthened local security force.

How long is the wash portion of your cycle?
I have read many complaints about long cycle times in FL machines. I, for one, do not mind longer cycle times but I noticed that the majority of the cycles in my machine is used for rinsing and spinning. For example, the cycle I use often for washing clothes is 1:13 long, of which the fill and wash take 23 minutes and rinsing and spinning is 50 minutes (that includes a third rinse). Also, have any of you measured actual temperatures in the drum right after the fill and at the end of the cycle to confirm that the washer does what it's supposed to do in terms of wash temp? The last question is directed primarily at owners of Miele and Bosch washers - I'm curious if your washers really perform as promised.
I have a Bosch and no, I haven't measured temps.
In the Sanitary cycle, the door can't be opened then it is supposed to be up to the maxiumum temp.
I can tell you that when the sanitary cycle is done, the clothes still feel very warm when I pull them out.
@ izeve
I have a Miele W4842. The shortest cycle is Express @ 30 mins. The longest is Sanitary @ 2:36 w/ all options selected (heavy soil, extended and sensitive). I haven't paid much attention to the length of time taken by rinses and spins, but I estimate each rinse takes about 8-10 minutes and spins @ high speed are under 10 mins. 50 minutes sounds like a long time for rinsing and spinning. When using the standard two rinses, the machine drains and starts the spin portion with :29 remaining on the clock. With a third rinse option enabled, the wash drains at around :39. These are ballpark estimates from what's crammed in my tiny little brain.
As far as performance, my clothes come out cleaner and softer than they did from my Euro sized Asko. The build quality is far superior to anything else available in the US market. Maytag, Kenmore, Whirlpool, GE, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, even Bosch, etc. just cannot compete with Miele on build quality. This viewpoint can only be appreciated when you look at each machine up close, touching the controls, flexing the plastic components, hitting the buttons, etc. Did you know that the Touchtronic controls of the W4842 are sealed against water? Miele manufactures its own circuit boards for all of their machines. In fact, they manufacture most of the components that go into their machines - very little, if anything, is "off the shelf" stuff. The water hoses, for instance, are designed to handle 20 times the expected water pressure. Those types of things aren't even promoted by the company, yet they put common sense and thoughtfulness behind their designs, and the machines they make are purpose built to last 20 years.
I broke the plastic coin trap doors on two Samsung machines at Lowes a couple of years ago when I was playing with them. I was just trying to open the little plastic door, but the simple mechanical action of opening it caused the little plastic tab to break. I was not even applying any real force or pressure - I know plastic breaks, so the last thing I wanted to do was break something on their floor model. But it's difficult NOT to break something on a washing machine when it's built like a toy.
I have a newish Miele (model 4842) and an eight-year old smaller version, 2.5 cu/ft, by the same maker. Stain removal, customization and fabric care have been excellent. They've both been temperature tested, though I only witnessed it once on the older unit. He used a thermometer that resembled one you'd use to check a turkey without opening the oven. Don't know if that's standard! I've used other brands only at random times (3 or 4 cycles at a vacation rental a couple times a year) so I can't find my opinion about those vs. Miele persuasive enough to share.
I chalk-up the complaints about cycle times to habit. Design, mechanics and usage are so different between HE and traditional machines, and even HE top and front-loading machines. Given how they clean clothing it sorta stands to reason times will vary. Research companies in the US (and elsewhere) have done studies about HE/FL efficacy and it's always been at least as good if not better. Consumer Reports has said that, for what that's worth.

Zoom In on the Lancome by Alber Elbaz Collection
After being tantalized by the animated teaser back in January, we finally have the full Lancome by Alber Elbaz collection for you to feast your eyes on. And that's just the feature Elbaz wanted to focus on, by dressing up four of the bestselling eye shadow palettes and mascaras from the luxury beauty brand. "The real theme running through the collection is the eyes and roundness forms," Elbaz explains. "The bottles are so fabulously rounded that they were my inspiration. I wanted to create rounded shapes with a hint of humor." The collection hits Lancome counters next month, but you can see everything up close, when you keep clicking!
