Christopher Columbus:
I have found many islands and people,
And have taken possession of all that were found,
As well as enter all harbors,
And placed a large cross in the ground,
Making sure the cross was put in appropriately,
And Your Highnesses banner was unfurled,
The people did not argue, nor falter
Chief Red Jacket:
The White people have found our country,
And have taken it,
And now,
They forced their own religion,
Upon us,
We did not fear them at first.
We thought they were friends…
Now this just show's kinda where I am lol.

One of the easiest things for those in ministry to do is to pass judgement on the believers who gather for worship each week. I say this as one who has done so myself – annoyed at their seemingly half-hearted participation, silently questioning their motives, wondering if anything in the liturgy or the sermon is sinking in, and so on. When these kinds of thoughts are entertained, the label 'nominal' gets tossed around far too easily. Books on pastoral ministry and conversations with others assure me that I am not alone in this.
In some ways, this kind of attitude is a reaction against the type of ministry that never inquires into the spiritual well-being of the members of a church, operating either on the belief that because they are there, their faith is alive, or on the assumption that the leaders of a congregation have no business meddling in the lives of those in the pews. But it is a reaction that swings to the opposite end of the spectrum, and in addition to being sinful in its judgement and condemnation of others (and let me be clear that this is something I am repenting of), it will not enable a minister to love their parishioners and to offer the spiritual care they need if they are to grow and flourish in faith. As someone remarked to me earlier, pinning the label 'nominal' on other believers comes off as elitist slander, and simply cannot be legitimised.
Leander Harding, the rector of an Episcopal church in New York, makes this point in a very convicting way in a lovely piece written on Ash Wednesday several years ago. Harding challenges us to look at the gathered believers entirely differently:
I have become more and more suspicious of the concept of the nominal Christian. Our parish churches are supposed to be full of nominal Christians who are just going through the motions, of half-believers who are relying on their good works and who have not really surrendered to Christ and accepted the Gospel. In any parish church there are a few real apostates, and a few real scoffers and perhaps a few who genuinely hate God. Their numbers are routinely exaggerated. Most of the people who come to the church Sunday by Sunday know they are dying and are placing their hope in Christ. It may be an inarticulate hope, it may be a confused hope. Often there are huge brambles of misunderstanding that must be cleared away before the whole power of the good news can come in upon them. Often there is real darkness into which the light of Christ has not yet come and which cries out for a light-bearer. Yet, they come. When Jesus saw such as these gathered in their multitudes on the hill side, the sight provoked in him not contempt for the nominal but compassion, 'for they were like sheep without a shepherd.'
Harding beautifully articulates the balance between the two extremes I noted above. Ministers are called to treat their parishioners with love and compassion no matter where they are on the road of faith. To be sure, some will be near the starting line of that journey, seemingly unwilling to move. But applying the 'nominal' label in cases like this is not only about wrongfully passing judgement on them (in part because we can never really know what is going on in their hearts), it is also effectively making the statement that they are beyond the transforming work of the Spirit (even if you don't articulate it as such).
Assuming the worst about others makes for bad and unfruitful ministry. What is needed instead is a ministry characterised by love, compassion, and charity. And that is because it is only as we genuinely love and care for each person and seek their flourishing in faith, regardless of where they currently stand, that we will be able to walk with them in such a way that 'the whole power of the good news can come in upon them'.

The Tristram Shandy Web. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story. MR JONES of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed, where Mrs Jones was already snoring. As soon as the light in the bedroom went out there was a stirring and a fluttering all through the farm buildings.
Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn as soon as Mr Jones was safely out of the way. Chomsky.info : The Noam Chomsky Website. Necessary Illusions: Contents. Cambodia. In 1947, commenting on the rising tide of "anti-Communist" hysteria in the United States, John K.
Fairbank made the following perceptive observations: Our fear of Communism, partly as an expression of our general fear of the future, will continue to inspire us to aggressive anti-Communist policies in Asia and elsewhere, [and] the American people will be led to think and may honestly believe that the support of anti-Communist governments in Asia will somehow defend the American way of life. This line of American policy will lead to American aid to establish regimes which attempt to suppress the popular movements in Indonesia, Indochina, the Philippines, and China…. In North Vietnam. The ICC flight to Hanoi spirals upward around Vientiane until it reaches its assigned altitude, and then passes through a protected corridor over an area that has received some of the most intensive bombing in history.
A Phantom jet streaked close by—much to the annoyance of the crew and regular passengers—but apart from that we saw nothing in the heavy clouds until the lights of Hanoi appeared below. The passengers on the flight were a curious mixture: Chinese diplomats; Russian journalists, an Italian novelist, several Poles, and three American visitors.
We arrived on April 10, and departed on the same flight, a week later. .pdf (objeto application/pdf) Introductory Comment The title and subtitle of this essay may seem unrelated; hence a word of explanation may be useful.
The essay was written for a memorial number of Liberation which, as the editor expressed it, "gathered together a series of articles that deal with some of the problems with which A. A Visit to Laos. I arrived in Vientiane in late March, 1970, with two friends, Douglas Dowd and Richard Fernandez, expecting to take the International Control Commission plane to Hanoi the following day.
The Indian bureaucrat in charge of the weekly ICC flight immediately informed us, however, that this was not to be. The DRV delegation had returned from Pnompenh to Hanoi on the previous flight after the sacking of the Embassy by Cambodian troops (disguised as civilians), and the flight we intended to take was completely occupied by passengers scheduled for the preceding week.
Efforts by the DRV and American embassies were unavailing, and, after exploring various farfetched schemes, we decided, at first without much enthusiasm, to stay in Vientiane and try our luck a week later. Vientiane is a small town, and within hours we had met quite a few members of the Western community—journalists, former IVS workers in Laos and South Vietnam, and other residents. Notes on Anarchism. A French writer, sympathetic to anarchism, wrote in the 1890s that "anarchism has a broad back, like paper it endures anything" -- including, he noted those whose acts are such that "a mortal enemy of anarchism could not have done better.
"1 There have been many styles of thought and action that have been referred to as "anarchist. " It would be hopeless to try to encompass all of these conflicting tendencies in some general theory or ideology. And even if we proceed to extract from the history of libertarian thought a living, evolving tradition, as Daniel Guérin does in Anarchism, it remains difficult to formulate its doctrines as a specific and determinate theory of society and social change. The anarchist historian Rudolph Rocker, who presents a systematic conception of the development of anarchist thought towards anarchosyndicalism, along lines that bear comparison to Guérins work, puts the matter well when he writes that anarchism is not. Foreword. 'We are not judges.
We are witnesses. Our task is to make mankind bear witness to these terrible crimes and to unite humanity on the side of justice in Vietnam.' With these words, Bertrand Russell opened the second session of the International War Crimes Tribunal, in November 1967. The American people were given no opportunity, at that time, to bear witness to the terrible crimes recorded in the proceedings of the Tribunal. After Pinkville. On 15 October 1965, an estimated 70,000 people took part in large-scale anti-war demonstrations.
The demonstrators heard pleas for an end to the bombing of North Vietnam and for a serious commitment to negotiations, in response to the negotiation offers from North Vietnam and UN efforts to settle the war. To be more precise, this is what they heard if they heard anything at all. On the Boston Common, for example, they heard not a word from the speakers, who were drowned out by hecklers and counter-demonstrators. On the Senate floor, Senator Mansfield denounced the 'sense of utter irresponsibility' shown by the demonstrators, while Everett Dirksen said the demonstrations were 'enough to make any person loyal to his country weep'. The Menace of Liberal Scholarship. In a recent essay, Conor Cruise O'Brien speaks of the process of "counterrevolutionary subordination," which poses a threat to scholarly integrity in our own counterrevolutionary society, just as "revolutionary subordination," a phenomenon often noted and rightly deplored, has undermined scholarly integrity in revolutionary and post-revolutionary situations.
He observes that "power in our time has more intelligence in its service, and allows that intelligence more discretion as to its methods, than ever before in history," and suggests that this development is not altogether encouraging, since we have moved perceptibly towards the state of "a society maimed through the systematic corruption of its intelligence. " He urges that "increased and specific vigilance, not just the elaboration of general principles, is required from the intellectual community toward specific growing dangers to its integrity. "1. In Defense of the Student Movement.
The student movement today is the one organized, significant segment of the intellectual community that has a real and active commitment to the kind of social change that our society desperately needs. Developments now taking place may lead to its destruction, in part through repression, in part through what I think are rather foolish tactics on the part of the student movement itself. I think this would be a great, perhaps irreparable, loss. On Resistance. Several weeks after the demonstrations in Washington, I am still trying to sort out my impressions of a week whose quality is difficult to capture or express. Perhaps some personal reflections may be useful to others who share my instinctive distaste for activism, but who find themselves edging toward an unwanted but almost inevitable crisis. For many of the participants, the Washington demonstrations symbolized the transition "from dissent to resistance.
" I will return to this slogan and its meaning, but I want to make clear at the outset that I do feel it to be not only accurate with respect to the mood of the demonstrations, but, properly interpreted, appropriate to the present state of protest against the war. Mayday: The Case for Civil Disobedience. May Day, living up to all expectations, got the worst reviews of any demonstration in history.
It was universally panned as the worst planned, worst executed, most slovenly, strident and obnoxious peace action ever committed. So wrote Mary McGrory, a perceptive columnist and long-time dove.[1] But Mayday was not designed to win accolades in the press; rather it was designed to help end the war, a different purpose. The demonstrators, Miss McGrory wrote, many of whom "had shaved and spruced up for Eugene McCarthy…hope that the people will eventually make the connection between a bad war and a bad demonstration and they think they've provided an additional reason for getting out.

How do you use personas to target visitors to tens or hundreds of Web sites? This is where behavioral marketing can help.
You use personas in your marketing every day. You may not realize you're doing it, but you are. There's an image you hold in your head of the person you are marketing to. You think of this image when you plan your strategy, review designs, and write your advertising copy.
Of course, this image shifts. Each time you hear a story from the sales team; each time you read a competitor's stuff; each time you attend a conference, your image is influenced and changes.
Here are the symptoms:
As a conversion scientist, I've come to rely heavily on what I call "touch-point personas," which are profiles of the most important visitors to a Web site, the "touch point." Best Buy uses touch-point personas for its stores. A touch-point persona gets its power from the fact that you profile a visitor at the time they are visiting you. A visitor will behave differently depending on what is bringing them to your site.
For example, a 30-year-old suburban woman who is considering remodel of a bathroom is going to visit a plumbing Web site looking for details. She'll want to know how long the plumber has been in business, how much remodeling experience he has, and if he's insured, among other things.
This same 30-year-old suburban woman only needs two pieces of information if a leak is ruining her wood floors: how soon can you be here and what is your phone number. The same person produces two very different touch-point personas.
Touch-point personas help you target your messages and offers, changing the way you present information. They keep you from being the victim of the shifting image in your mind, and get your entire team on the same page.
While it is quite straightforward to compose touch-point personas for a Web site, display advertising complicates things. The touch point for a display ad is not your Web site. Display ads live as touch points on other, often very different, Web sites. How do you use personas to target visitors to tens or hundreds of Web sites?
Here is where behavioral marketing can help.
When we start putting together a behaviorally targeted display ad campaign, we may begin with a market segment profile. This profile describes the demographics of a segment of the target audience along with their primary needs and desires.
An ad network or behavioral data vendor then begins to fill out the profile based on their experience in the market. They may query a database of behaviors to determine the actions that would predict when the profiled visitor might buy. The profiles that emerge are more like a touch-point persona than the segment profile.
An agency can use this information to develop a portfolio of offers, ads, and landing pages that would appeal to these potential clients. We ask for a variety of offers and ads because, at this point, we can't be sure which will work. Every communication is a test.
Finally, the ad network will recommend the set of Web sites on which we might find our desired visitors. We end up with several broad profiles of our target customers, a set of ads to entice them, and a variety of Web sites on which to display our messages. Which combination will work? We're about to find out.
Once the ads are run, our touch-point personas will emerge in full glory. We will know which messages appealed to which demographics on which sites. Like a game of Clue, we can now identify the touch-point personas of those visitors who will buy from us: "The stay-at-home mom on the major news sites with the yellow ad that features a discount code."
This, of course, begs the question, "Why?" Why did this combination of sites, messages, and ads attract this particular kind of visitor? It is the quest to understand our visitors' stories that tells us what to test next. With each campaign, our picture gets clearer.
Behavioral marketing allows us to statistically create our portfolio of touch-point personas. These personas allow us, our agencies, and marketing teams to consistently create messages and experiences that encourage our best visitors to take action, growing our brands and adding revenue to our bottom lines.

Easton EC90 SL Tubular Rear Wheel 2013
Leave it to Easton - the composites experts - to create the first zero compromise carbon fiber road clincher. The EC90 SL offers the very best braking performance in carbon rims. Period. We did it with the help of our exclusive ThermaTec™ brake track treatment, available only on Easton's composite clincher wheels. ThermaTec brake track treatment provides smooth, easily-modulated braking power and reduces heat build-up under heavy braking. Of course ThermaTec is only one highlight of the EC90 SL. The 38-millimeter deep carbon rim is molded into its final shape in one process, ensuring superior strength and impact resistance. The EC90 SL is the only composite clincher rim to survive tests in our laboratory for impact and fatigue resistance as well as our brake track torture test, handling temperatures up to 500-degrees Fahrenheit. Every EC90 SL is entirely hand-built and acoustically tuned in Easton's own factory.

There are many heroes and wise people in this world, but to Greek philosopher Plato, only those who choose to use and share their good deeds with others are truly accomplished.
2013/4/26 |
The man who made "Psycho" was no lightweight, though he kind of comes off that way in "Hitchcock."
Starring Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as his wife and collaborator, Alma, "Hitchcock" puts a featherlight yet entertaining touch on the behind-the-scenes struggle to make the mother of all slasher films.

The work of the Commission on the Delivery of Rural Education has now concluded.
The Scottish Government Response to the Commission on the Delivery of Rural Education was published on 13 June 2013 - this was accompanied by a Ministerial Statement to the Scottish Parliament.
The Report of the Commission on the Delivery of Rural Education was published on 19 April 2013.
A Gaelic translation of the report's introduction and recommendations is available.
Read Sheriff Sutherland's statement, and view the Scottish Government and COSLA statement.
You can also watch a podcast of the launch of the report.
The Commission, chaired by Sheriff David Sutherland, was tasked with examining how the delivery of rural education can maximise the attainment and life chances of young people in rural areas, and the link between rural education and rural communities.
The Commission also reviewed the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and its application and made 38 recommendations on the delivery of all aspects of education in rural areas.
The Commission issued a Call for Evidence to allow all interested parties to provide written evidence, this closed on 12 January 2012.
The Commission also took oral evidence from communities and through a programme of school visits and public meetings across 12 local authority areas.
The Commission on Rural Education was established jointly by Scottish Government and COSLA.
The Commission's work was due to be completed in August 2012. Regrettably, the Commission agreed in June 2012 that its report should be delayed to take into account a forthcoming Appeal in the Court of Session that was relevant to the operation of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. This was heard in November 2012, and a judgement received on 6 February 2013. This judgement provided a very helpful opinion on the 2010 Act, a key part of the Commission's remit, and allowed the Commission to conclude its work and publish its Report on 19 April 2013.
The Commission had the following remit:

The audience walked back into the golden era of Hindi music at the Mohammed Rafi tribute concert in the city recently
Thirty years after his death, tribute concerts for the legendary Mohammed Rafi still draw a full, emotion-packed house. Moist eyes, swinging hands, shaking heads, tapping feet, happy smiles…the incomparable crooner's aficionados are a frenzied lot. And they are delighted to have found Anil Bajpai — the Rafi incarnate.
Short and slender with a tremendously high energy level, Bajpai reproduces his idol's songs with near-perfect intonation, voice-modulation and expression.
At the fund-raiser organised by the Rotary Club of Chennai Skyline on Saturday at the Music Academy, Anil Bajpai and Mohammed Aslam enlivened the evening with a fine mix of pathos and peppy songs.
Sample this: "Tum mujhe yuhn bhula", "Kaun hai jo sapnon mein aaya", "Ehsaan tera hoga", "Khoya khoya chand", "Teri aankhon ke siva", "Tere husn ki kya tareef", "Mujhe kitna pyaar", "Gunguna rahe hai", "Baharon phool barsao" and "Madhuban mein radhika naache re".
As the duo presented gem after gem, one realised what made the songs of yore timeless creations — a combination of brilliant lyrics, music and voice.
Though Bajpai was not his usual soulful self in some numbers, he brought his mentor alive in "Mere Mehboob" and "Abhi na jao chod kar", a staple on his shows.
Retro favourite
In the recent past, Mumbai-based Bajpai has been performing in the city often and has become a favourite of retro music lovers here. At the end of a song, an elderly person stood up and shouted "We love you Anil". This time Bajpai's environmental engineer-wife Sharmila, who is from Chennai, was introduced to the audience. And, as she walked up the stage, the usually-shy Bajpai burst out singing: "Aane se uske aaye bahaar, jaane se uske jaaye bahaar, badi mastaani hai meri mehbooba", as the audience cheered.
Mohammed Aslam chose songs such as "Akele akele kahan jaa rahe ho" that suited his open-throated singing, but he could do well by investing his rendition with some more melody. For, replication can be enjoyable when it goes beyond technique and encompasses emotion too.
Shruti Jauhari's earnestness and classical training came through in "Teri aankhon ke siva" and "Woh jab yaad aaye".
What irked the listeners most was the lacklustre and off-key rendition by Shahnaz Aslam. She has a good voice but needs more taiyari to be on stage.
For most part, the orchestra successfully recreated the golden era.
The graves of Mohammed Rafi and a few other luminaries such as Naushad and Madhubala might have been dug out recently in Mumbai due to space crunch. But, truth be told, Mohammed Rafi lives on in millions of hearts as he did that evening.
Keywords: Mohammed Rafi, Hindi songs, Anil Bajpai

Speakers that call from the high seas
A system that's built like a sailboat.
For some reason that we've yet to fathom, people seem to have a fascination with speakers in water--on the surface , underneath and with some unfortunate designs . But the Korean company Nexspeaker has taken the concept even further: with a speaker system that's shaped like a sailboat.
This 2.1-channel system pipes sound through its speaker sails, according to Gizmodo, and even has a subwoofer on deck. Alas, it doesn't appear to be an actual seagoing vessel. But that might be a good thing, because it probably wouldn't last more than a few seconds if Craver Caroline McCarthy had one of her pirate ships on the prowl.

Pump up the volume YouTube - EMINEM MOSH - Original Version Like him or not listen to the Message. The single most powerful video this year, was created 4 years ago.
in 2004 this video came out way too late, almost a week before the election. Great song about how a lot of us in the community felt in those days about what was happening. Its truly great to see the hip hop community get active in spreading the word and speaking truth to power. I think the best line in this song is when Eminem is talking about how if he is found dead soon, you will know its been because he was speaking the truth. Now 4 years later.....after the dust and daddy issues have settle with W, we have seen that his presidency is a failure. He has created an amazing amount of problems for the next POTUS. NOW......for the exact opposite video and song. I present "Bush was right" YouTube - Bush Was Right listen to both, and decide for yourself who is speaking the TRUTH.
Great post. Their song sounds like YouTube - Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire Odd because Bush nearly burned America to the Ground.
Sorry but that "music" or whatever is just unlistenable. I tried but only made it through about 10 seconds. Not trying to rip on your music, I'm sure you aren't going to be buying Chinese Democracy, but . . . for me it's totally unwatchable.
It's not "Guns and Roses," it's the former lead singer's solo album. Not surprised BF likes it so much, Axl is probably the biggest dickhead in the history of music. And that's saying a lot.

Please excuse us. Scientists from the U.K. say dinosaurs probably had gas, just as animals and humans do today, and they may have had enough of it that it actually warmed the Jurassic climate, more than 100 million years ago.
David Wilkinson of Liverpool John Moores University led a team, writing in the journal Current Biology, that tried to estimate how much gas could have come from sauropods — the giant long-necked vegetarian dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus (previously known as Brontosaurus) — who roamed many swamps, chomping on greens to get enough calories. It would have been a high-fiber diet, and you know what that can do.
Bathroom humor aside, Wilkinson and his colleagues estimate that the dinosaurs gave off something like 570 million tons of methane every year. They emphasize that they're heaping one estimate on top of another — there's no saying, for instance, what microbes may have thrived in a typical dinosaur's gut, or just how many ferns your friendly neighborhood sauropod could have eaten in a day.
But if they're right, the dinosaurs gave off about as much methane as gets into the atmosphere today from bogs, natural gas pumping and — hold your horses — livestock on modern-day farms.
Methane happens to be a heat-trapping gas, like carbon dioxide — and it's considerably more potent, molecule per molecule. Hence the suggestion that the dinosaurs may have helped warm their world.
There are many other factors, Wilkinson and his team point out, that would have contributed to the already-warm climate when the dinosaurs lived. And scientists say carbon dioxide today is much more plentiful in the atmosphere than methane.
But still, if you figure that the average Apatosaurus could have weighed something like 20,000 pounds, and spent most of the day eating to keep up its body weight — well, no wonder Wilkinson's paper has been a hot topic.

Landowner files complian with TCEQ
Lufkin — The Lufkin Daily News reports; A private landowner filed a complaint with the Texas Commission on Environmental Equality, alleging the release of the new Aspen Power biomass plant's wastewater into Ellen Trout Lake could adversely affect the area.
Aspen Power President Danny Vines filed for an industrial wastewater permit, stating the water will be released into an "unnamed tributary," then to Ellen Trout Lake in North Lufkin, on to Mill Creek and into Paper Mill Creek before eventually making its way to the Angelina River/Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
When the permit was originally filed in February 2010, Vines proposed sending the wastewater into the city of Lufkin sewage system for treatment, according to the landowner's consultant, Tim Karczewski of the Zeleskey law firm in Lufkin.
That proposal would have kept the wastewater out of Ellen Trout Lake, but at an estimated yearly price of $400,000 it was not cost-effective, according to Vines' environmental attorney, Robin Morse of Houston.

About this location
The Lazio region
Lazio is dominated by its capital, the Eternal City, Rome. Since ancient Roman times the region has been an extension of the city, where noble Roman families created their own towns and the wealthy built their villas in the surrounding countryside. Lazio is a treasure trove of the remains of age old civilizations: bridges, churches, towers, villas, monasteries, aqueducts, arches. To the north of Rome are Etruscan sites and the tombs of Tarquinia, founded in the 12th century BC.
The ruins of Ostia Antica, a 4th century BC port city at the mouth of the Tiber are located west of the city, with delightful beaches nearby. East of Rome toward the mountains is Tivoli, a favourite retreat for the wealthy at the height of the Roman Empire. Visit the remains of Hadrian's Villa, completed in 134 AD, and the beautiful fountains and gardens of the Villa d'Este.
The coast of southern Lazio contains some of the finest beaches in Italy. Much of the 30km of unspoiled broad sandy beaches leading south to the chic resort of Sabaudia is backed by National Park. Continuing southwards from there is the Ulyssses Coast, a blend of sandy beaches and rocky coves. This area is bisected by the ancient Via Appia, and contains the remnants of the vacation villas of such lovers of luxury and hedonism as the Emperors Nero, Tiberius and Domitian.
The location in the heart of Rome is simply the best. Live a real Rome experience.You are a short stroll to the Campo di Fiori where you can buy some of the most beautiful produce you will ever see. You are walking distances to all the major sites, to great boutique shopping, great restaurants, and intimate trattorias.
Enjoy one of Rome's best Gelato's just around the corner and also great pizzas. There is a health club just around the corner, too. Or, just walk. Walk to Piazza Navona, the Vatican, the Pantheon, hip Trastevere, elegant Via Giulia, the Forum, the Coliseum, and much more. If you don't want to walk, bus stops are near,frequent, and will take you anywhere.

Dear Janet, I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. I am afraid that low ceilings are part of the authenticity of a building several centuries old! However, the downstairs Master has high ceilings, and the upstaires is great for kids. Hurry back to Rome.

"Great apartment in a wonderful part of Rome"
We spent a week in this excellent apartment in the heart of Trastevere. The apartment was spotless and spacious. We are a family of four and never felt it was cramped.
We loved being in the heart of Trastevere - it's very atmospheric and full of great restaurants and shops. The restaurant immediately downstairs 'Il Duce' was a great start when we arrived late and hungry on our first night. Other great eateries nearby are Da Lucia and for the best pizza go to Dar Poeta (alhough you need to be prepared to wait a long time for a table at the latter as it is so popular).
Families with very young children could possibly find it a little noisy as the nightlife goes on into the small hours but it wasn't a problem for us.
There's free wi-fi (a tip for UK travellers - use www.expatsurfer.co.uk to get access to the BBC website so you need never miss out on your 'Archers' fix whilst abroad).
The only things we felt the apartment lacked were these British staples namely the electric kettle and toaster.However once we discovered the wonderful bakery in the adjoining street selling the best foccacia we have ever eaten we were able to wean ourselves off tea with toast and marmalade for breakfast for a few days.
I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. We have already added the tea kettle. We will follow your suggestion and add a Toaster, too. We hope to see you in Rome again soon.

The ink sketches and watercolour paintings by Stella Im Hultberg perfectly exude the sad, sophisticated energy of the postmodern ingenue. Women pout with seductively disillusioned lips; limb-entwined couples wait in silence for a sadder truth. Every character is shadowed, stained, and soiled with glamour.
Working as an artist in New York City, Stella features her work in galleries (view her work at the current exhibition at thinkspace gallery, running from now to September 3) and sells her prints online at her momomoogie shop. Trained in industrial design and toy design, she currently applies her creative energy to her print works. Treat yourself to the delicious darkness of her online sketchbooks and portfolio.
Stella broadcasts art updates at her livejournal, and her daily report covers all sorts of life's delight from green tea soba salad to a mottled seashell collection.
In addition to the prints for sale on momomoogie, she boasts a design collection of wallets and shirts at art-collective-vinyl-wallet company Poketo. Plus, you can purchase her oh-so-precious my favorite mirrors at Art Star Philly.
In Stella's world, the city self-reflects with beauty and sorrow alike.

After reading my post yesterday about wallpaper and the DIY squiggle idea, decor8 reader Christina Sachtleben wrote in to share a photo of her very own DIY wallpaper project – just add paint and a good stencil and viola! fauxpaper, as I call it (see below photo). I think Christina did a great job, and of course, she gave me permission to post her work for all of you to enjoy and to hopefully become inspired by! Maybe there's a space in your home where you can create your own fauxpaper?
Christina is looking to take on another DIY project in her home, so she's wildly combing the web for more stencil resources, this time, plaster stencils. I tried to do some digging for her, and I found the following stencil and/or plaster stencil resources. Some of these places are great, I am really surprised at how easy it is to dress up your walls on a budget. When I think of stencils, visions of apples and chicken borders race through my head. Time to think OUTSIDE of that very small box. Stenciling goes way beyond farmhouse folk art and shaker styles…
Stencil 1 – Sheesh, this place is total coolness. Scroll down the entire page, so many fun designs, I really love the sparrows (see top photo). Deers, skulls, stars, great stencils for gals and guys.
Modello Desgin – Classy place for gorgeous stencils. These people embrace ceilings as being the fifth wall and glam them up to the max. (They even sell kits to create antique mirror effects.)
Stencil Planet – Lots of everything. I really like this idea, only I'd add glass to the top to dress it up a bit more.
Victoria Larsen – Plaster stencils + more!
Stencil Library – Great source for stencils from Japan to Art Deco and Modern Design.
Henry Donovan Motif – UK based, super selection, unique designs. Isn't the water chrysanthemum stencil beautiful?
My Stencils – These folks tend to carry more of the folksy stencils, but the damask stencils they have are gorgeous – so check them out!
Royal Design Studio – Another great site with lots of stencil designs to choose from. I really like the Swedish Florals. After I emailed Christina last night with these resources, she is going with the Swedish Florals as her next DIY project. Hopefully she'll send in some more photos…
If you have a quick design question, need help finding that special something, or if you're looking to share photos from a project you've completed, please send me an email.

Did you catch Country Living magazine for August yet? I was tickled to see their city apartment freshen up, Two-Day Decorating Makeover (pages 32-40).
For one thing, it's rare to see Country Living (or any of the home magazines that feature primarily the cottage/farmhouse style) spotlight a city apartment with, what appears to be a single girl, at the helm of a makeover.
The best part about the makeover?
That's hard to narrow down. Although I loved that they show an IKEA bag in one of the photos filled with pillow inserts for the renovation project and, hold your squeals of delight, a Saarinen table. Yes, in Country Living. This is a breakthrough moment, people.
The bones of this apartment are stunning, it resembles one you may spot in an east coast city, soaring 10+ foot ceilings, hardwood floors, prewar details, huge windows. The color palette for the apartment is simple: blue, gray, silver, white, beige – very subdued, on the cool side, with a somewhat Scandinavian slash London apartment vibe going on. With before and after photos, a cool stencil idea for the walls (don't stress, this really is a hip stenciling project using a baroque floral pattern and silver paint against Ben Moore's Regal Aquavelvet, eggshell finish, Sapphire Ice). The room was pulled together on a budget too, another strong point of the article.
Surprise bonus: There wasn't a dog, husband, picket fence, cooing baby, or massive 4,000 square foot midwestern farmhouse home in sight. Not that I have anything against those things, but it's nice to see a country living magazine step into the concrete jungle for once. Not everyone in the city dreams of monochromatic loft spaces, nor do they shop at high end Italian contemporary stores. Country Living is catching on, and I'm liking it.
If you're not a big Country Living fan, grab the August issue and see what you think. Seems they may be interested in appealing to a broader demographic, and this article in particular has a very Domino feel to it with the fonts, arrows connecting tips to photos, and the style in which it's written.
What would I change about this makeover? Hmm. First, I'd purchase a real sofa for the living room (vs. the twin bed with bolsters) and a much larger rug. The rug selected for the living area is to small. I'd also paint the walls to the ceiling, although above the molding I would have went a few shades lighter for the paint (they stopped at the crown molding about 20″ from the ceiling leaving the top half of the room white, which is standard. I'm not a standard girl). I believe that if you have high ceilings, don't try to minimize them. I'd also highlight all of the fabulous picture and crown moldings in either white (for a crisp look) or two shades lighter than the Sapphire Ice (more subdued, yet still highlighting the gorgeous details of the molding). I think the stenciling idea over the eating nook could have been repeated in the living room, as well, confined within the boundaries of the picture molding.
The bedroom was very serene, I can't see much about it that I would change except for the bed – I would bring in a crisp navy/white Scandinavian floral print and add a touch of butter yellow or lilac somewhere in the room – a vase or fresh tulips would suffice. I'd like to see some clean white ceramics displayed on a shelf, too. Ones that have a very organic feel with lots of detail, all of them in white.
In the end, I'd say the makeover is a great success on a budget, and with it's vintage modern appeal, I'm a big fan.
If you'd like to check out this renovation, pick up the August copy of Country Living and turn to page 33 (pull out this section and save for your look book). For quick candy, you can view the renovation online, too.
Psst: Love what they've done to this vintage suitcase – so girly!

The book and blog of the week are up! Yippee! I have an interview with Marilyn (blogger featured) coming up soon, as well as my review of In Stitches by Amy Butler (Chronicle sent me an advance copy, I've already had it for a few months). All I can say is BUY THE BOOK. It's great and you know, although it reads a little more for the skilled sew queen, there are so many beginner projects that you can take on a few things and work your way up to the bigger things.
This sounds very Betty Crocker, I know, but every modern woman should pack mad skills at the Singer. I'm serious, and I know it's totally opinionated of me, but sewing is like cooking, you really should try to have it under your belt. When it comes to cooking, I can throw down like the rest of them, but usually the end result isn't much different from the other 10 things I can cook – I tend to use the same ingredients over and over (and over!) and stick to 'comfort' recipes that are easy. My husband is happy, we haven't died yet, and I guess the meals are somewhat tasty because I haven't yet heard a horrific gasps from the table when I serve (refer to bridget jones' diary deux, table scene, blue string soup as point of reference).
Sewing, let's face it, isn't a required skill for survival. Centuries ago, yes. Nowadays, no. Cooking, you sorta need to learn the basics at least to sustain life and live healthy. I think that's why so many of us don't learn how to sew – there's no need with your friends Lord + Taylor and Target. Plus, everyone is way too busy to sew these days. I still think it doesn't hurt to learn. You live a bit more freely and take charge of your decor a little more. No more leaving stores in frustration because you can't find the right color throw pillow. You can also save crazy money.
I'm a total beginner when it comes to sewing (embarrassing to confess since I started as a child, but I still kinda suck), but I made curtains for my living room in 3 hours over the winter because I was sick of never finding what I wanted and refused to pay a seamstress a grand to give me what I wanted. So, off to the fabric store where I purchased quality textiles (the cutter, after giving her the window size, gave me the exact amount of fabric that I needed. Thank goodness because math isn't my strong point). I brought the fabric home, cut to size, and merely hemmed all four sides of each panel and added clip hooks (from Target) to the top and viola! insta-panels. Anyone can do that. No rod pockets, no pleats, no lining, no no nonsense. Sure, I wouldn't sew for my clients and sell them my work (gasp!), but what I do sew works for me so I'm happy. My guests don't seem to know the difference. To a professional seamstress, my work would be considered absolute rubbish, but I'm happy with it so I don't care. Just like I'm happy making basic meals at night.
Point is, cooking and sewing gives you freedom to move around a little in your own head. You grow in a creative sense. It's also emotionally very rewarding, at least after you have the basics down. Saying "I made it" is also a huge self esteem boost.
Back to the Amy Butler book. It's inspiring and packed with patterns and directions, along with photos of each finished project, so you really can't go wrong, everything is completely mapped out for you. I'll be back with photos of the book so you can see it for yourself. Until then, stick around because I have a slew of fresh finds to post for you today…

A Gaylord woman who admitted to growing marijuana in her home has been sentenced to 3 days in jail and 5 years of probation. 41-year-old Sally Ellen Robinette pleaded guilty to 5th-degree possession of a controlled substance in late November after authorities discovered 14 marijuana plants growing in her home at Westgate Apartments in Gaylord. Her apartment was searched after police detected the smell of marijuana in a hallway. The plants were found in Robinette's bedroom closet, along with growing equipment and other paraphernalia. In addition to the jail time and probation, she was also ordered to perform 10 days of Sentence To Service and cooperate with Sibley County Mental Health and attend all psychiatric appointments.

The movement you need is on your shoulders...
Just want to tell you it's definitely from Evangelion The Movie: The End of Evangelion. The one he's grabing is not a girl. It's Shinji's Dad. And yes, the robot smashed him in the end (after about 5-6 minutes)
That's not Shinji's dad....it's the last Angel...his name escapes me right now...Originally Posted by JohnDoe
I can see from your description plus the snapshot that it's clearly from Evangelion and that episode is episode 24 I believe. I remember it's the last episode that made sense in the series. episode 25 and 26 were the controversial ones if you recall.
Also to answer who is the being grabbed by Eva 1 in the snapshot. It's Kaworu Nagisa, who is aguy and the fifth pilot as well.
Anyways, why would you want to know about that particular scene and whsts so special about it that you want to rewatch it again?
well i just watched the end of evangelion no thanx to john doe.
anyways. now to watch episode 24!
The movement you need is on your shoulders...
Kaoru was his name.Originally Posted by tsujoi
Yeah it was in the last dvd, the 5th child/last angel/kaoru or something... i dont think i spelt it properly. But yeah Shinji is holding him, its not for as long as some ppl make out. But the series is awsome and worth checking out...
