Join Thomson Family Adventures on a special Costa Rica family vacation designed for fun-loving families seeking out the treasures of friendly, laid-back, tropical Costa Rica.
We start with a visit to the area around Arenal Volcano, which is an active volcano that can put on quite a show at night! Later, walk along the treetops along the hanging bridges, then glide from platform to platform through the forest on an exhilarating canopy tour. Learn about the complex process needed to produce your morning coffee at a local coffee farm, and relax at the end of the day in hot springs warmed by heat from the volcano.
Next, travel to the beaches of Guanacaste, checking out Palo Verde National Park on the way. Enjoy a sea kayaking expedition and paddle out to quiet coves for swimming and beach combing. There is also an optional excursion to Tamarindo for surf lessons.

With the new site, when going to any Phoronix.com page there will also be an area that will list recent posts and threads on the Phoronix Forums -- to result in greater interaction between the two locations.
I'm interested in the possibility of having both phoronix.net and phoronix.com point to the same location as well. In my case, and most likely many others, I hardly even realize there is new content on the home page because I'm always coming directly to the forum (phoronix.net). If it seems like this wouldn't work for the best, then maybe there could be a subforum where a thread is created for each new article posted on the home page, so that it would be easy to know when new content is added. Having every person who visits Phoronix see the same thing on the first page that is loaded may not be a bad idea though, since it's not obvious that to domains exist and give different views into the community.
With the new site, when going to any Phoronix.com page there will also be an area that will list recent posts and threads on the Phoronix Forums -- to result in greater interaction between the two locations.
Is this what you were thinking?
Also, next year we are looking at launching audio and/or video Linux podcasts at Phoronix.
I think it would be nice if there were more feature and benchmark comparisons on graphics hardware reviews.
For example, how does a 965G do versus a 7200TC or 7300TC (hardware that is very common on laptops too)? And are they slower or faster running on
windows than on linux? What about battery usage?
With current reviews I can't really get an idea of the features and performance of different chips.
But, anyway, thanks for the great work so far.
First screenshot of the current development build of the new Phoronix site is @ http://www.michaellarabel.com/index.php?k=blog&i=162
One of the areas that hasn't yet been addressed is how Phoronix LCH will fall into play with everything else. To see LCH become more beneficial it needs to be integrated more with Phoronix and the forums. All of the LCH entries are stored in a PHXCMS XML format, so I can easily write a shim for vBulletin so that it is capable of interfacing with Phoronix LCH so ultimately you could use your Phoronix Forums account to add LCH entries and then comment on its support using the vBulletin system, etc... So essentially it looks like we could be marrying vBulletin with PHXCMS-6 with Phoronix LCH.
I'll be trying out some things on the forums shortly with this vBulletin + PHXCMS integration. Comments welcome.
EDIT: Some very basic integration @ http://www.phoronix.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8

Strict separation of configuration and shell-scripts means that you have two folders for either configuration (/etc/conf.d/) and shell-scripts (etc/init.d). This is unique and is actually a feature systemd doesn't have, because it has a different approach (I don't want to evaluate this in any way).
Points you are missing is that power-consumption is already levelled sufficiently in the device-specific ALSA-drivers in-Kernel and that Jack is a Daemon not entirely situated in user-space, but also incorporated into the Kernel (which gives an insight into how the Linux-devs might look at PulseAudio).
Concerning security, I would definitely choose an interface which is part of the Kernel and the highly-efficient bug-tracking system of it than some interface developed by a handful of individuals who strive for a certain appeal of reinventing the wheel.
I also don't quite grasp how PulseAudio is supposed to save energy when it builds upon the ALSA-interface anyway. How can a sub-element of something be less efficient than it? Please tell me.

Give me a hardware keyboard and I'll buy one!
Phoronix: Ubuntu To Start Shipping On Smartphones In October
There's a report out today that Ubuntu will begin to ship on smart-phones beginning this October...
Give me a hardware keyboard and I'll buy one!
I'm still not sure what this means exactly. Is it really an Ubuntu smartphone, or is it Android with Ubuntu. I guess it's the real Ubuntu smartphone. But didn't they say it's coming in 2014?
I read somewhere, dunno if that was here on a previous similar article, or a /. reference about that article here.
So I have to double check by asking this :: Did they build it using QT?
bsn had a nice comprehensive analysis about the chances of the various new mobile OSs, incl firefox and ubuntu.
Definitly worth reading.
Do consumers care? This is just another phone OS that can't run users' existing app downloads, is missing the huge app market of iOS and Android, and has no compelling consumer-oriented features. This is like Windows Phone, but with a far smaller and poorer company shoveling it. It's the 1999 Linux desktop story all over again, except this time Apple and Google are the behemoths instead of Microsoft, and nobody really cares about freeing things up since Android is "free enough" for most, and Ubuntu is also lacking for Free purists.
If this means that I can run any software on it that can be compiled to run on ARM it is time to get a new phone for me when these phones come to Europe.
Let's put it this way- we never relied on PC manufacturers to make their computers compatible with Linux- we created the support because we wanted something we had more control over, something with the qualities we found valuable in an OS. Although there are perhaps more hardware-specific features in smartphones, we're getting to the point where it will be possible to have many devices supported by a traditional Linux stack whether the carrier provides the support or not. This is how Linux grew.
However, on top of that, you have a few additional benefits. First, most of these OSes do have some commitment from manufacturers, so we'll definitely see Firefox OS and Sailfish. But aside from that, Android has a very close architecture with these OSes (much closer than say, Windows and desktop Linux). So it would be much easier to provide Android app compatibility on these systems- in fact, Sailfish is shipping with a 1:1 compatibility layer from Myriad. And, seeing as how Android is open source, the work to create a successful FOSS layer would be considerably easier than something like WINE.
Now, sure we face the problem of Android apps being ugly and inconsistent with our systems, but many users face some of this already with ultra-customized UIs for many popular Android apps like Netflix. This is not an issue that would be superbly difficult to mitigate.
So, unless you think Linux on the desktop is a hopeless and pointless effort, I'd say moving our stack to mobile is much more hopeful than the desktop market ever was. Especially since mobile devices usually play a secondary role, and people don't really need certain apps yet- they can go without one or two without losing significant productivity or work.

Mandy is someone I call an actual real life friend. I met her through shopping for fabric (of course) and then I met her real life friend (Lynne) with my other real life friend Brioni and yet another real life friend, Justine (confused? Me too.) Now we try and get together at Lynne's house often enough to keep us sane and sew. Although in reality we don't end up sewing much and spend more time laughing and gossiping. I thought it'd be nice to have Mandy come over and say hello, because you might not have met her before and that'd be a shame. So here she is......(read through to the end...there may be treats...just saying)
(Photo courtesy of Lily's Quilts)
(Photo by me!)
For those of you that are coming to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, here's a voucher to download and print off for 10% off anything on Mandy's stand (D49, remember - just opposite-ish the Fat Quarterly stand which is D44!)
You can find Mandy's blog here and her wonderful UK based fabric store right here.
But that is not all. Oh no, that is not all. Mandy is also offering one of you lucky blog reader types a jelly roll of French General's Christmas line, Fa La La La French General.
Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. No other hoop jumping, just a comment.
Giveaway will stay open for the next week until I get home from the Festival of Quilts (so until Monday 15th August). Please make sure you have an email linked to your profile or leave a contact email in your comment. It makes things soooo much easier. And next time you need solids try Mandy out for size. She won't disappoint.

Should I go to his wedding?
Q: Ten years ago, I developed a crush on a guy in college who I was friends with, but never pursued a romantic relationship. I thought after college I would lose interest or someone better would come along. But I kept up hope (or obsession with a fantasy I created) that things would change. We have kept in contact over the years with few e-mails, and get together once in a while. A couple of years ago I found out he was seriously dating someone, and I knew right away that she would probably be "the one" for him. And I was right. He proposed to her this past fall. Their wedding is next month. How do I know? I've been invited to the ceremony. The question is ... do I attend this memorable day? Can I attend alone? Will this give me closure or invoke a pity party for myself?
– Trying to find closure at a wedding, Iowa
A: You admit that you wrote your own narrative with this one, TTFCAAW. You developed a crush and then invented a fantasy. It's time to rewrite that mess of fiction in your head. Non-fiction can be quite liberating.
If the wedding is affordable, please go -- and yes, go alone. Don't think of it as your crush's big wedding. It's just a great party that celebrates your friend's big step. You'll probably wind up seeing some old acquaintances at the reception and having some fun on the dance floor. And you never know -- the wedding might be a great opportunity to meet people.
This guy has always been a placeholder, just someone to think about while you were waiting for someone else. You never pursued this relationship. You liked the fantasy more than reality. I believe that you're capable of creating a new storyline that involves you being this guy's friend, laughing about your old crush, and finding someone brand new who thinks you're fantastic.
Don't think of the wedding as closure or a potential pity party. It's just reality. How you celebrate that reality is up to you. You're in charge of your own story.
Readers? Should she go to the wedding? Should she think of it as closure? Is this a legit crush or just fiction? Help.

India's Got Talent Khoj 2 was launched in June with the three judges Kirron Kher, Sajid Khan and Sonali Bendre. The promos are already on air but the channel had not revealed its launch date or time slot.
A source says, "Now, it is starting on July 30, mostly in the 9 pm slot and it will be a bi weekly show and will air on Friday-Saturday. The channel will soon make an official announcement. Our last audition was in Mumbai on July 10. The stars of Lafange Parinde, Deepika Padukone and Neil Nitin Mukesh were present at the venue. They stayed there for few performances and enjoyed it thoroughly.
"The first few episodes will showcase auditions we had across India. We will start shooting for the studio episodes in mid-August. This time we could cover north east and South India very well. The talent from North East is amazing, we are sure the audience hasnt seen such talent before.

Discussing: FIXED - Research Library story linking
FIXED - Research Library story linking
Message: 52977
28 Dec 09 10:59 AM
Original Post
General Audience
The updated Research Library in Resources has new feature that allows authors to link their stories to Timeline Events, Character Bios, Places and Things. HASA has always allowed authors to link to Bios by selecting characters when creating a story, but this expands that linking to all the RL entries.
A bug was reported that linking to a character through the Research Library removed all characters from the story. Testing showed this report to be correct and the error was fixed and uploaded @ 10:30 AM today.
On a related note, authors are advised that the fastest way to add multiple characters to a story is through the character selection list in the story update form. Events, Places and Things can only be added through the the Research Library. Authors are encouraged to cross-link their stories.

Latest update : 2012-11-14
Russia blacklists hundreds of websites
Web users express concern as Russia blacklists hundreds of websites. Meanwhile, thousands are calling for Malala Yousafzai to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And a Spanish football club launches a novel fundraising effort.
Russia blacklists hundreds of websites
A law came into effect in Russia on November 1, allowing the government to block access to websites without needing to obtain a court order. The law is aimed at protecting children from pornography as well as web content that encourages drugs use or suicide. There is no official register of the blacklisted sites, but the government has opened a portal where web users can check to see if specific sites are on it.
Russian web users have been expressing concerns over the system. Numerous Russian web companies, like the search engine Yandex or blogging platform LiveJournal, had voiced opposition to the bill before it was approved by the Russian parliament back in July, saying it would fuel Internet censorship in Russia.
The site Lurkmore for example has been added to the blacklist. The satirical Wikipedia style site is very popular with Russian web users, and includes an entry on Vladimir Putin, describing him as the "botox president", in reference to rumours he has undergone plastic surgery.
Activists from the Russian Pirate Party have been gathering information on and names of site that have, in their opinion, been blocked illegitimately. The so called "white list" also provides web users with alternative access to these sites.
Thousands call for Nobel peace prize for Malala Yousafzai
Over 110 000 web users have signed this petition posted to the website change.org last week, calling for a Nobel Peace Prize for Malala Yousafzai, the 15 year old girl who was shot by the Taliban in Pakistan in October. The document has been translated into several languages, and urges political leaders the world over to nominate the young activist, as under the Nobel Committee's rules, only prominent figures such as members of national assemblies and governments are able to make nominations.
Social networkers have also been busy campaigning for a Nobel Peace Prize for Malala. Twitter users have been voicing their support under the hashtag #Nobel4Malala and several Facebook groups, like this one, have been started campaigning for the teenager's bravery and courage to be 'officially' recognized by the international community.
The United Nations declared November 10, "Malala Day", and events were held in her honour over the weekend, all over the world, like we see here in Pakistan, when hundreds of men, women and children gathered to show their solidarity with the teenage girl and reiterate their desire to see her awarded the Nobel Peace prize.
Malala meanwhile is still at the London hospital where she has been receiving treatment since October 15 and where the Pakistani schoolgirl was recently reunited with her family. The hospital has been providing regular updates on her progress and her slow recovery via the Internet.
Now trending on social networks
Faced with financial ruin, the historic and now debt ridden Spanish football club Real Oviedo is asking for help from the general public… it needs to generate close to 2 million euros before November 17 to avoid liquidation. How can you help? By buying shares. Several former players have already acquired theirs and are encouraging web users to do the same. Investors from all over the world have already become part owners and the club has raised over one million euros so far.
Star Wars origami
On the site "Starwarigami" you can learn how to make origami models of the starships, cruisers and battleships featured in the Star Wars saga. Yes, there are dozens of models on display, with very detailed instructions, so you can make your very own spacecraft.
Video of the day
This video about Poland and some of its biggest cities was made using the tilt-shift technique which gives the impression you are looking at a miniature scale model. It puts a unique perspective on the magnificent landscapes and architecture just waiting to be discovered or rediscovered in Chopin's homeland.

[Adobe Audition] [Colin Smith - Sr. Solutions Consultant] Audio pros and video editors need powerful audio tools that help them quickly solve complex problems, deliver creative mixes and great-sounding audio. Adobe Audition, with its brand new 64-bit architecture, delivers the tools and workflows that our users need. Let's go take a look. This is Adobe Audition. The first thing I want to show you is a brand new Sound Remover. Let's just look at our Spectral Frequency Display here and I'll play this file. [siren wailing] Obviously it's a police siren. [siren continues] But you'll also hear a bunch of skateboards in the background, and over here on the right some dialog. [dialog on video] When I think of a trick—I don't know—when I'm sitting in my house...learn it. We need to be able to remove the siren and keep the dialog. So I'm just going to work in my Spectral Editor, grab my paintbrush in here, and the new Spectral Frequency tools allow us to have surgical precision in our selections, being able to not only make a selection but add and subtract to the selection. If I hold my Shift key down, I can add to this selection. If I hold the Option key or Alt on Windows, I can minus that selection out. I need to make more of a complex selection in here and get all of the frequencies from this siren. So I'll just keep selecting, and I'm going to be selecting in the area just before it repeats because this cycle will repeat over and over again. You can do this by selecting more of it, like this section over here, before it gets into that, but I'm just going to leave it in here. Also note that we have an Invert button. If I wanted to, I could actually invert the selection and select the opposite of what I've selected. The thing with the Sound Remover is you can right click and choose Learn Sound Model or go up to the Effects, Noise Reduction, Learn Sound Model. What this has done is it now learns that sound model so when we use the new Sound Remover it's going to use that model of the recurring siren and get rid of it. I'm going to use Remove Siren for this one, Less Artifacts, and let's just hear this. [dialog on video] When I think of a trick—I don't know—when I'm sitting in my house...learn it. Let me turn that off and play it back. [siren wailing] [dialog on video] When I think of a trick—I don't know—when I'm sitting in my house... It's actually removed that completely. The other thing I'd like to show at this point is here is the Preview Editor that shows us a before and after. You can see up at the top those long strands of sound—that's the siren. At the bottom they're gone. All right. Let me just show you another great example of that. This one is some tree frogs. We've got a background and then we've got these crickets in here. We like the tree frogs; we don't like the crickets. I want to be able to remove those out of there. So I'm just going to zoom in to this area, again I'm going to use the paintbrush and anything to make a selection at this point. It doesn't have to be the paintbrush. But I'm going to make a selection, make my brush a bit bigger, make a bigger selection in here, and each one of these little chirps inside here I'm going to select and some of the upper frequencies too. They're a little bit smaller, so I'll lower the size of my brush, just trying to keep selected what I need. All right. And just like before, I'll learn the sound model, and now when we use Sound Remover, and this one I'm going to choose High Content Complexity, let's listen to this. [tree frogs chirping] [crickets quietly chirping] [tree frogs continue chirping] It's a little bit in there still, so let's try High Noise Complexity and open up the Preview Editor, and we can see that it's completely gone. Audition is really known as a great noise and sound remover, sound restoration tool— the best in the industry. But it was really focusing on broadband noise—background hiss, things that were continuing throughout. The Sound Remover is going to remove sounds like sirens, chirps, rings, stuff that occur over and over again that have that unique signature. All right. Next up let's look at the Preview Editor a little bit more. I'm just going to use our waveform for this, and let's go back and open that up. Here we've got a sound. [dialog on video] ...you are. You have to keep challenging yourself. You have to keep doing it. Now let's go look at the Preview Editor a little bit more. Here I'm going to try the new Pitch Bender. What the Pitch Bender will do is actually take the pitch and drop it down. Let me just drop in. You'll see right away what is happening is for me to bend this pitch it's going to have to change the speed overall. You can see the speed is changing down there. [audio dragging] You see when I do that, down at the bottom it's actually continuing at the correct speed, which is what would happen after I apply this. We get a before and after. We've got more prediction not just on things that will change the timing but just overall gain changes and things of that sort. Let's jump into the Multitrack Editor and look at some of the new features we've added in here. Great new features to help us stay organized in the Multitrack Editor. First of all, color coding tracks. You can just click on a swatch very easily and color code a track. You also have the option, if we look at this clip here, if I drag it into the blue track it's staying purple. You have the option in the Properties if I click on this for the swatch, if I go to default settings, now it will inherit the color of the track I'm moving it to. Really great to help you stay organized in the Multitrack Editor. The other thing is bringing in clips inside here. Let's bring in some clips. If I bring them in, you'll notice that they're now sticking inside one track. If I hold Option on Mac, Alt on Windows, then they start to go through other tracks. Plus we get a full preview now of where these tracks are going to land before we let go. We've never had that before. That's really powerful. It's also smart too. I'm going to go to Multitrack and add a stereo bus right in the middle. Now watch what happens when I bring my tracks in. They're smart enough that they will wrap around that bus. And they won't go down to the bottom; they'll go wherever I want them. Also notice that I get complete cross-fading as I'm dragging that in there. You can turn that off. You can turn overlapping off. Lots of customization there. That is really going to make people more productive and love working with the Multitrack Editor much better. You want to select all the clips in a track? Double click in a track. Double click, double click and you've got that. You can add the Command key on Mac, Control on Windows, and keep adding to that selection. And now I've grabbed all of those clips. Also in the Select menu we now have Clips to Start, Clips to End. So we've got keyboard shortcuts for those, lots of great ways to move around. In fact, if you want to now select a track and zoom in, Shift forward slash can get you into that. Down in here if I hit Shift forward slash, I'm jumping in and I can see that. You can zoom way in now. We actually brought that back from Audition 3. You can go between markers very easily too. I'm going to add some markers in here. Let me just add some markers. If I hit Command-Option on the Mac, left and right arrow, or if I hit Alt-Control back and forth with the left and right arrows, I can now jump between those markers. Really, really powerful stuff. We also have added the new TC Electronic LoudnessRadar. If I wanted to truly monitor my track, let me just go to Special, Loudness Radar and play this. I can now monitor the perceived loudness so that I can stay within these loudness standards. We ship with all of these different international standards. You can test whether you're within these standards. You can measure up to 24 hours of history of audio. And again, this is based on the human ear, so it's going to be much more accurate. The last thing I want to show you really quick is Favorites. If I wanted to edit a favorite, let me just open up a clip here, go to my Favorites, and I'm going to Start Recording. It tells me I can record a favorite, so I'm going to grab an effect, go to Dynamics, and I'm just going to increase this overall. I'm just going to change my Output Gain. Again, notice down on the bottom there's my Preview Editor. I'll apply that, Stop Recording Favorite, call this more gain. There we go. What's really cool with Favorites now, down at the bottom I can edit my favorites. Let's go look at our favorites here. I can double click inside here and change things like the stretching of this one. Remember I created this more gain. I can double click on that and open this up, and maybe I don't want that much gain. I'll pull that down and save that and then I can apply that again. So editable favorites, lots of power. You can copy and paste between favorites that you've created, delete them in here, you can change new selection areas in there. Excellent way to work. Another thing in the Multitrack Editor that I wanted to show was the ability to merge clips and silence sound. This is fantastic. I'm going to zoom in to this area. [♪ music ♪] [dialog on video] There's been a lot of, like, trauma in my life. All right. Let's go up to that point and solo that. Let's jump into there. [dialog on video] Skateboarding is just such a— Actually— >>[dialog on video] Skateboarding is...how tough you have to be. [dialog on video] There's been a lot of, like, trauma in my life. There it is. Let's zoom in to this area here. [dialog on video] There's been a lot of, like, trauma in my life. I want to get rid of that "like" right in there. Most people will cut that out, but I'm going to show you 2 things. I'm going to select this and merge clips, a great way to stay organized inside the Multitrack. This is now one clip. But I still want to get rid of this area in here. I'm going to make a selection around the area where he says like, and I can either right click and choose silence clips in the Multitrack or in the Clip section, Silence Selected Clips, and you can see we've actually created keyframes in here to take the volume all the way down and mute that out. So now let's play that. [dialog on video] There's been a lot of trauma in my life. So that's an overview of Adobe Audition. Powerful creative tools allow you to quickly make complex selections. Brand new Preview Editor, Sound Remover, multitrack updates inside here. All of these things are going to allow you to be more creative, quicker, and create great audio. [Adobe]

Hi: 10° Lo:7°
By Liam Moakes Thursday 15 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 12:09
REDDITCH earned their first point of the West Midlands Premier Division season as they fought out an entertaining 3-3 draw at home to second placed Finchfield on Saturday.
The game started openly but Redditch, despite having some good early possession, found themselves behind.
After more good chances for the Reds they drew level thanks to a great solo effort from Pete Dawson but then, after some dubious yellow cards, it was a case of hanging on until the break.
Richard Sellors put the hosts in front in the second half and towards the end it was advantage Redditch when Jason Ellis-Woodley converted a penalty corner to make it 3-2 to the Reds.
However, just when it looked like a first league win of the season was on the cards, Finchfield equalised with only a few minutes remaining.
It was a strong performance by Redditch and much-improved and they will feel slightly disappointed not to have taken all three points.
With a free Saturday this weekend, Redditch return to action on November 24 when they entertain Shrewsbury.
REDDITCH 2NDS were beaten 4-3 at Droitwich in West Midlands Division One despite making a fine start to the match.
Dave Baker, back from injury, drilled home an early penalty corner and Baker then made an aerial pass through to Steve Dawes, whose finish was clinical and put the visitors 2-0 up.
A controlled but notably high stick stop by a Droitwich player around the halfway line saw Redditch pause but Droitwich proceeded to take advantage and score. Without the whistle, the goal rightly stood, and the hosts had cut their arrears by the break.
The turning point in the game came when a penalty corner early in the second half saw a seemingly good Redditch goal disallowed.
Heads dropped a little and Droitwich pounced with two quick goals in quick succession, leaving Redditch trailing 3-2 with 15 minutes left.
Dawes produced a clean reverse shot through the keeper's legs to make it 3-3 but, despite many chances and several very near misses, Redditch were unable to grab a point from the game as they were exploited again by the Droitwich forwards scoring a penalty corner to seal maximum points.
Notable Redditch performances came from Devlin Jacobs in goal, Dave Apperly on his debut this season and Baker.
Liam Jakeman worked tirelessly in midfield, communicating well with man of the match Alex Ward, who was outstanding.
Redditch host Bloxwich tomorrow (3pm).

· Anti-static dust control to inhibit dust build-up
· Stain inhibitors making cleaning easier
· Scratch resistance
· Long-lasting protection

Never clean another mini blind again!
By Beth
from Glendale, CA
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Bali Mini Blinds Customiser Aluminum Blinds 1" Slat - 6 Gauge:
I bought the mini blinds that I replaced from a home improvement store. Since they were custom made, I also paid for the custom-made price. Since I paid a pretty good investment for my old blinds, I put up with the difficult task of cleaning these 1" slats. After a few years this laborious task became a drag and finally I gave in and bought replacement blinds from Steve's. I was amazed how incredibly reasonable his prices were and thought next time the blinds get dirty, I'll just buy a replacement from none other than Steve's!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am using these custom-made blinds in my vacation home near the beach. I measured every window myself and the blinds I received fit perfectly. They do provide a good amount of room darkening but if you have finicky guests in room facing the rising sun, you will need to augment with some curtains. I am very satisfied with these blinds (which I've now had for about 9 months) and with Steve's blinds.
Superb Product

Best blind that I have ever bought. Superb quality.
These blinds are great
I had my blinds custom made and when they came back from Steve's they were perfect. Very easy to install for me and they provide a good amount of room darkening plus great privacy. [...]
Great blinds at a reasonable cost

We choose aluminum mini blinds for their ease of use, easy to clean and inexpensive form of getting some privacy. The color we chose is neutral and blends with our decor.
Got the blinds for an RV
By Lil
from Seguin, TX
For RV installation, I would recommend 1/2" slat with header if you have cornices attached to wall.I had to remove cornices to properly install the 1". I am extremely pleased with the look of the blinds.

Very attractive blinds...installed in my daughter's room. They are well constructed and durable and tolerant of a teenager's use.
Great job
By A.J. Homeowner
from Citrus Heights CA
[...] I mounted them, but I didn't like the length of the wand too short for the place the blinds would be. I called and was offered a lot of different lengths I selected[...]. I ordered a set of verticals today.. I like Steve;s Blinds
It does the trick!

Installed this in my home office. I like being able to regulate the amount of sun shining on my desk. Easy installation.
Cheap & Good!
By Polly
from Livonia, MI
Purchased for accent more than function - where good blocking is not needed - so I don't know if it's good at blocking light, but it LOOKS good and works easily. 6 guage is very thin though - don't expect to abuse it!
Very good product

Easy to install, sturdily built
Superb and Affordable Bali Blinds
By Dee
from Troy, Michigan
These Bali blinds came in so many colors it was hard to choose. Our room is turquoise with brown accents so we chose a nice chocolate color for the three blinds we purchased. They go with the decor and because of their color,fit, and construction of the slats, they provide great room darkening benefits.
great service/product perfect
By DSQUARE

I used the product in my older RV and it fit perfect and matched the older blinds exactly.Could not be more pleased!
The blind I received was perfect!
By Brend

This blind was purchased for a window inside of the bath/shower area. It is being used to prevent the window area from rotting. It's perfect for the window and is working out wonderfully and the price was GREAT!Thanks
Great color!

I really love the Char Brown color of these aluminium blinds. My house is tan and the dark brown showing through the windows makes a great accent.
Look great!

These blinds look good and were VERY easy to install. Thanks!
Good custom mini-blinds
By kld
from St. Louis, MO
Good price, good fit. The only negatives are:1) No instructions as to how to open the bracket after it was closed without scratching it up.2) The brown tape used to pair the valance strips left nasty sticky stuff that I had to use Goobegone to get off.I would order from them again because it is a good product and a good price.
Best online merchant for blinds!
By Barbus
from Bloomsburg, PA
Very satisfied with the two blinds I ordered from Steve's! Had looked for a good price by checking many retailers and Steve's was the winner. Not only did I find excellent prices, but top-notch quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve's Blinds & Wallpaper.
Good product

Quality Mini Blind
By SuesueRN
from Farmington CT
Nice blind. Not flimsy. Looked for a quality blind - and BALI blinds are outstanding-long lasting.
Great Buy
By Rider
from SW Virginia
Just love the high gloss finish. When the sun shines in and the blinds are open, they just sparkle. I've tried store bought blinds and I'd never go back to that. Have purchased other blinds from Steve's and never had a problem.
This is where you want to buy blinds
By love to decorate

There were so many selections it was easy to match up to a perfect color. I'm not the greatest mathametician but with the directions I was able to measure them and (yay) they fit perfectly!
Very Nice Quality and great Price!

I love the gloss finish. Blinds were easy to install. My old blinds were vinyl and got discolored by the sun. These blinds just glisten when the sun shines and the blinds are partially open. I never have a problem with the Bali blinds. They always work well.
very nice service!

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the contiguous United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days.

Career Plans
Lord willing, I will follow my call to become an Elder in full connection in the United Methodist Church.
Personal Information
I am a transgenerational Korean-American. I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to the United States when I was three years old. I have been a resident of the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago ever since and have become an avid Bears fan!
In my spare time I enjoy viewing paintings, photography, graphic design, sculpture, nature, and all of the aesthetics there is to see in God's good creation. I love sports but would much rather participate in them than watch them. Last, but certainly not least, I love the life that I enjoy with my wife and son that God has blessed me with. My wife Ann and I have an opera singing four year old who loves garbage trucks and wearing formal clothing. His name is Jeremiah.
Attraction to Garrett-Evangelical
The initial attraction to Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary was the administrative staff, especially the admissions department. What I have come to discover is that the whole of Garrett-Evangelical – the environment, students, faculty, and curriculum – have cemented my desire to remain at this terrific seminary.
I believe that God has called me to serve Jesus with all of my life. I didn't think that it was possible that God would call me into full time ministry, much less to become an ordained clergyman. However, when I finally gave in to the promptings of my heart, I enrolled at Garrett-Evangelical and I haven't looked back since.

The Museum provides educators across the globe with resources in a variety of formats to promote effective teaching about the Holocaust and antisemitism.
The purpose of these educational modules is to help students learn about fighting prejudice; responding to genocide; religion and identity; and other topics of contemporary relevance.
As a teaching resource, the modules illustrate the existence and broad impact of modern-day antisemitism; demonstrate the ongoing relevance of the Holocaust to law, faith, the arts, and other areas; and introduce, punctuate, or end sections of study, as homework or in-class listening.
A component of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Permanent Exhibition, this film introduces the origins of antisemitism—hatred of Jews—from the days of the early Christian church until the era of the Holocaust in the mid-20th century. The film prepares students for a discussion of why Jews have been targeted throughout history and how antisemitism offered fertile ground to the Nazis.

Mandu (Korean dumplings)
Lunar New Year is celebrated throughout Asia, notably China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Southeast Asia countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Even though I know that Koreans celebrate Lunar New Year, I don't really know much about the traditions. I invited my friend Hyosun at Eating and Living back to share a Korean mandu recipe with us, as well as educate us about Korean Lunar New Year. (Previously, Hyosun shared her delicious bulgogi recipe with us.) Please welcome Eating and Living and enjoy her kimchi mandu!
Hi! I'm Hyosun from Eating and Living, the Korean home cooking blog. I am delighted to be back here at Rasa Malaysia, especially when Bee is featuring a series of special recipes for the Lunar New Year's celebration. This time, Bee asked if I could share a mandu (Korean dumplings) recipe, which Koreans enjoy as part of the New Year's festivities. Celebrated for three days, the Lunar New Year (Seollal) is the most significant traditional holiday in Korea. It is a time for families to gather and pay respect to ancestors, through an ancestral rite (charae), and enjoy traditional food and games. Young people also honor their elders, by wishing them a prosperous and healthy New Year, with a deep bow (sebae) and receive gifts (usually money) in return. Growing up, this was one my favorite activities of New Year's day. We always wore a new traditional dress (hanbok) and visited the elders of relatives and family friends to perform sebae. I remember I was a happy little kid with lots of money in my special little pouch made for the occasion.
Food, of course, is a big part of the New Year celebration in Korea. As is the case in many cultures, it's a tradition to gather around the table to make the dumplings in preparation of the New Year's feast. There are many variations of Korean dumplings. Here, I decided to share a dumpling recipe made with kimchi. What can be more Korean than a dish made with kimchi? Kimchi mandu is especially popular for making manduguk (dumpling soup) or tteok-manduguk (a variation of rice cake soup, tteokguk, with dumplings), which is a must-eat New Year's dish. With its pungent flavor and crunchy texture, the kimchi version adds a nice contrast to the mildly flavored broth and soft rice cake slices. I steamed the dumplings for this post, but you can cook them your favorite way. I hope you make some Korean dumplings as part of your lunar New Year celebration! Happy New Year!

Looks divine… I'll have to go and buy me a bamboo steamer… where… O_o
The dumplings looks so cute! Kimchi as filling: how ingenius! Shall attempt this soon. Is it common for it to be pan-fried?
Thanks for the nice comment! Yes, pan-frying is a common cooking method for Korean dumplings as well. In fact, I pan-fry quite often because it's my son's favorite way to eat dumplings. If you are going to pan-fry, half-moon shaped dumplings would be easier to cook. Enjoy!
You can try Target or Walmart. BedBath&Beyond also has them as well as Crate & Barrel. :)
How to make the shape so beautiful? Love it.
Mmmmmm Manduuu. Steamed, Fried, Grilled, Barbequed….You can't go wrong with Mandu. :D
Hubby bought my steamer at World Market.
it looks good, i'm gonna try that one today
how to make dumpling or mandu wrappers by hands? I can't find good ones in store.Thanks.
I've tried this recipe and can attest to its yumminess. I had it pan fried and it tasted really good.
I love dumplings and like the method of steaming than boiling, will try out the recipe :)
my favourat food Mo:Mo
I hope you can publish a picture of the wrapper being shaped into the moon shape. This is a mew shape for me and I am not so confident on making it from thr description.
Looks hard to wrap! :O
It's actually really easy! First, make a half-moon shape. Next, bring the two ends of the half moon together, making a round shape, so the end parts overlap. Use water or egg wash as glue. Press the overlapped part tightly. If this is hard, simply make it into a half moon shape. Mandu will still be delicious. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Wow! Very nicely wrapped, I would love to make these for Chinese New Year too!
It's nice meeting you, Hyosun and thank you Bee for your wonderful guest post. This dumplings looks amazing! Happy New Year! :)
we always eat dumplings during new year too. But it is so much work :P
Thanks for the recipe. Are the dumpling wrappers round or square to begin with? I would really like to try this but was unsure about the wrapping process.
I used round wrappers.
I love Hyosun's blog and learn so much about Korean food and culture. So happy to see her back here. Thanks Bee for featuring her! =)

I've made a vegetarian version of this. :D Thanks for the recipe!
This looks soooo good—I can't wait to make some kimchi and try it out.
Pingback:Sites of Interest | Pearltrees
As a Korean, I am so impressed by this recipe!
and the shape is perfect. which means you will or already have a handsome son!
Can you use something else other than kimchee? I did some research and found out what kimchee was and I don't think I would like it that much. Is there any other type of filler I could substitute?
Hii lov ed ur recipes love them,chinise recipes on ur site are YUMM..Is it possible for to give a demo of how to make the dumplings :) wud really appriciate .:) Thanx alott for sharin ur wonderful n easy recipes ..It Makes the Kitchen Queen :D at my place and im proud of meeself ..Thanx

Eight days after CSX announced it was going to buy Consolidated Rail (Conrail) for $88.65 per share, Norfolk Southern made a hostile $100 per share bid for Conrail. Over the next several months, the potential acquirers upped their bids while exchanging criticism in the popular press, prompting analysts to call this one of the nastiest takeover battles of the 1990s. The case is set in January 1997, just before Conrail shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposed deal with CSX. It analyzes the trend toward consolidation in the U.S. railroad industry, the bidding war for Conrail, and the various provisions in Pennsylvania's anti-takeover laws, which restrict the market for corporate control. It also explores the strategic and financial implications of a bidding war and challenges the assumption that failure to acquire is a zero net present value endeavor. Finally, it examines the nature of and economic basis for regulating the market for corporate control.
