Love this rug!
I needed a large rug and had been drooling over this rug in the B*****d d*****s catalog for months. I saved a grand by buying it here! The color is less green/gold and more a slate blue with creamy beiges. Stunning.Read More
The rug received was not t he color ordered and appeared that the colors were faded. I returned this rug if I have the right rug in mind. I have bought several and cannot remember every one by brand.Read More
Gorgeous Rug!
I LOVE our new rug. Before purchasing, I exhaustively researched price, quality, and other feedback in reviews - it really paid off. The rug was delivered in perfect condition within seven days of ordering it, and it is even thicker than I expected. In fact, it rivals the quality and workmanship of the other antique oriental carpets in our home. The Overstock.com price for this outstanding value was unbeatable; and the muted brown, blue, and green colors (on the lighter side than they appear online) blend perfectly with the rest of our dining room décor. I expect shedding from the 100% wool yarns; but so far, we haven't had a stray lint fiber. I definitely recommend this product and without reservation. Don't hesitate to make this rare investment - and Thank you, Thank you, Great Big O!Read More
Colors not as pictured.
This rug is not the colors in the photo. I know colors can look different on each computer screen, but the photo shows the rug to be gold and blue. The blue color is similar to the photo but the gold color is taupe. It in no way has any gold tones or yellow tones. I ordered a 9x12 rug, and what a pain it is going to be to return this rug!Read More
Beautiful Rug
I had seen this exact rug on another popular web-catalog store starting with the letter B but its was double the $. When I saw it on Overstock for half the price I immediately purchased the rug. It absolutely beautiful! The blue is a smokey slate blue and the brown is a latte color. Its has pops of burgundy throughout that really complements the darker woods in my bedroom. I highly recommend this rug. Excellent quality and value. Bonus, it was delivered in 2 days!!Read More
Nice bargain
The rug that I received measures 8'9" x 11'9" which means that the rug is a good 6 inches smaller than described. The colors in the rug appear similar to those shown online and the quality is good. Considering that this rug sells for over $1000 or more elsewhere online, it's a good rug for the price.Read More
Legacy Blue Rug
I saw this rug on another site for twice the price that Overstock had it listed for. I was so thrilled to get it for a great price and no shipping!! Overstock rocks!Read More

Well just in case you were wondering here's a little bit about us, we are two musicians(looking for a third member) from Oklahoma who love music, it's pretty much a key part in our life, and there is nothing else we'd want to do. on the drums we have Henry Graham, age 14, and vocals, Guitar, piano, are played by Tyler Sexton, age 15. You can probably catch us playing somewhere in the oklahoma city area. If you get the chance, come watch us you won't regret it!
We currently are working on a four song EP, and pretty much every song is different, ranging from funk influences, Rage Against The Machine type groove, String sections, and haunting melodies. We will definitely be hoping to release it soon, and hopefully you all like it! Feel free to give us any kind of criticism, as it would help us better ourselves as musicians. And finally... we would just like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening, coming to our shows or anything that pretains to supporting us, because we may make the music, but you, the fans, are really what make the dream come true. so thank you!

Confirmed in Two Colorado Horses
Tips for Protecting Colorado Horses
LAKEWOOD, Colo. – The Colorado Department of Agriculture continues to investigate the spread of Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) within the state.
Disease Update as of 11am, 5/16/2010
2 confirmed cases of equines with EHV-1.
6 additional exposed horses are showing clinical signs of EVH-1.
Currently horses in four different counties (Boulder, Larimer, Mesa, and Weld) are being investigated for the disease and are under hold or quarantine orders.
One horse, which tested positive for EHV-1, was euthanized after showing severe neurological signs associated with the disease. A second horse was euthanized with similar symptoms but test results have not been confirmed at this point. The others are currently under treatment by veterinarians and in biosecure locations.
No matter what age, it's important to have role models and heros, and my friends are both.
There are two very pregnant mares in my barn along with the stallion responsible for their conditions. They've all been happily living together for almost a year now. After the foals are born I'll keep the mares and stallion separated. That's kind of a drag for everyone. Wouldn't it be great if there was birth control for domestic horses?

I have a listbox with directories (not local, it is over a network) listed in it. I am trying to loop through that listbox and remove any empty directories. However, I noticed that it just skips some empty directories.. I found that if I ran the loop 3 - 5 times it will get them all, but that isn't very efficient.
My Loop:
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
While i < ListBox1.Items.Count
If IO.Directory.GetFiles(ListBox1.Items.Item(i), "*.*").Length = 0 Then
End If
i = i + 1
End While
So I was just wondering if there is a more efficient way to check the contents of the directory or another way i could achieve this without having to run the loop multiple times.

Comments about HJC CL-16 Full Face Helmet Chin Curtain:
I still don't know why it is not a standard piece with the helmet but it's alright. The chin curtain takes a few minutes to fit in properly but it does cut down wind noise significantly in the helmet. It also reduces the air flow around the face keeping your eyes from drying out quickly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Helps wind noise some
By Joe S
from Springfield PA
I bought the HJC CL16 helmet because of the PinLock included feature and it's Snell 2010 approved. The PinLock System works GREAT but the helmet has quite a bit of wind noise. I bought the chin curtain to help quiet it down, which it does somewhat. I'd say a 50% reduction. Definitely worth it for the low price.

Clem ID help
I have been lusting after my neighbors clematis and, unfortunately, she has no idea about the variety. I have searched the Hull UK site and also Joy Creek Nursery. The only one that looks promising is Ernest Markham. It is Nov and this is still blooming...it's vigorous! Please see attached pics.
this may work better for pic?
Here is a link that might be useful: http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee434/jujustad/
This is Ernest Markham from my garden. I just went out and picked a bloom of it. Its the only clematis with blooms still left. The bloom below is the same one taken in different lighting. Both photo colors is off a bit but the darker one is lighter than shown but closer to the color and it isn't brown at all like I'm seeing on my computer but has pink overtones in it.
I may not be describing it accurately but thought I would give it a try to give you an idea of what Markham clematis looks like

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
In photographs intended to strike terror in the hearts of Americans - but if they intended to do so, the photographs would have remained a closely guarded secret -- North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is shown planning to strike targets in Hawaii and the continental United States. The photos appear to have been taken at Kim Jong-un's military command center.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/29/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: North Korea, missile attack, missile targets, propaganda, domestic consumption. Kim Jong-Un
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The photos appeared in the state-run Rodong newspaper and were apparently taken at an "emergency meeting" this week. The photos depict Kim signing the order for North Korea's strategic rocket forces to be on standby to fire at U.S. targets, with large-scale maps and diagrams in the background.
The photos show a chart marked "U.S. mainland strike plan" and missile trajectories that the NK News Web site estimates terminate in Hawaii, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.
The text on the map, which shows the west coast of North America, says "Plan to hit the U.S. mainland"
The meeting of the Pyongyang's senior military leaders appears to be in reaction to two U.S. B2 bombers, flying out of bases in Missouri, carried out simulated bombing raids on North Korean targets on an island off the coast of South Korea.
"He finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets, ordering them to be on standby to fire so that they may strike any time the U.S. mainland, its military bases in the operational theaters in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea," the state-run KCNA news agency reported.
The report added that the B2 test flights demonstrated Washington's "hostile intent" and said the "reckless" act had gone "beyond the phase of threat and blackmail."
North Korea's military was placed on its highest alert level earlier this week and a hotline link with the South Korean military was severed. In another development, North Korea also cut the mobile Internet link for foreign visitors, only weeks after the 3G service was introduced.
In spite of all the belligerent rhetoric and saber rattling, these photographs emerging from the North Korean regime are believed to be all bluster. Analysts believe its missiles are not capable of striking targets as far away as the U.S. mainland and are not, as yet, capable of delivering a nuclear payload.
The images of Kim surrounded by his officers and diagrams of targets in the U.S. are being waived away as intended for North Koreans to demonstrate the young leader's mastery of military affairs, experts believe.

On April 18, 2015, we will celebrate Waldoboro Volunteers Day. The event will be held at Miller School from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are trying to compile a complete and exhaustive list of individuals who volunteer their time in an effort to better their community. We don't want to leave anyone out. It doesn't matter if they are a resident as long as they volunteer their time here in Waldoboro. This letter is being sent out to many organizations that may have volunteers in their staff. We are asking the leaders of the organizations to please help us with our quest. If you could take some time out of your busy day to provide us with as much of the following information as you can, it would be appreciated beyond words:
- A list of the volunteers in your organization,
- A list of other community volunteers you can think of (please list even the obvious - we would rather have the same name show up 100 times, than miss a person), and
- A list of other volunteer organizations that come to mind (in case we missed any, we would like to send them this letter too).
Youth Basketball (K-2)
The Waldoboro Recreation Department is accepting registrations for the K-2 youth basketball program. The program is open to boys and girls in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade.

Introduction of 'Tuple' in .NET Framework 4.0, really filled in a missing piece in C#. Apart from giving us the ability to interoperate with functional languages like F# or Python/Ruby, It does offer the convenience of heterogeneous collection which can take form of any class or structure that you would have created otherwise.
In C#, I feel Tuple syntax is still in its early stages and I am hopeful it will take more friendly syntax in next iterations. I have been explaining the concept of Tuple quite a while now during my presentations. Some of the questions that people ask me during my presentations are:
My answer to these questions are as below:
The other scenario where you can use this is to avoid anonymous types.
Thanks Arun for pointing this. You post is really nice. You're correct - Avoiding Anonymous Types is another usage for Tuples.
Personally I don't like Tuples for day-to-day programming. For interoperability that's fine, but one of C#'s best design principles (and, I suspect the reason it took so long to wedge Tuples into the feature set) is it's type-safe and descriptive approach to objects. With Tuples, on the other hand, you can basically make a "random bag" which contains random objects. When I write my code to receive a Tuple<string, string, int> what does that mean? Unless someone tells me the only way to figure it out is to trace through the code that sent it to me. Yuck!
I'm with Mike. I feel dirty every time I use Tuple. Item1, 2, and 3. What ARE they?
I am also not a big fan of the syntax and the pattern matching which is in-built with Tuple in C# at this point. However - as I said in this post, it is still very nascent. I am hopeful it will change as the concept evolves further.
I have found a use for Tuples to eliminate methods that have too many parameters. For example, when you build a class that queries the database based on several search parameters, instead of having a method that takes 5 parameters, have it take a tuple that holds those values so you still only pass in one object. Helps make the code readable as long as you use metadata to help make the purpose clear.

I like how this song has a real... "The world is in danger" feel to it, but not a catastrophic, but more of a "Yeah... It's gonna happen, but oh well."
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love the game's music.
This totally felt like I was playing RA2's Soviet Campaign, no lie! It's not clapping, it's troops marching. Love your work Swain, and this piece is no different. Helps make the game more enjoyable!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's allright . But the clapping(is it?) in the background is kind of out of place. Take it out, add something else imo :)

Valuations Based On User Adoption In The Mobile Space 5 comments
In the valuation creation cycles of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD), Instagram (owned by Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) after their billion dollar purchase), Whatsapp, which is rumored to be in acquisition talks with Google at a $1 billion dollar price tag and Pinterest, which recently raised $200 million of venture capital at a $2.5 billion dollar valuation, the best entry point for venture capital investors was when they spotted early rises in user adoption. User adoption almost always precedes revenue and valuation.
The reason stand-alone mobile apps such as Instagram have a hefty price target after users adopt them is because in the mobile ecosystems, much larger companies can unlock massive amounts of value and turn unrealized revenue into realized revenue. The valuation of these companies doesn't pertain to old income statements or balance sheet metrics, but merely what is that user's worth in the future to company X.
In the web-based world, we view Google as the gateway to the internet. The power of helping people find what they're looking for and selling advertising to companies wanting to reach this audience has turned into a business that did more than $50 billion dollars in revenue in 2012. With billions of users, Google is a case study in maximizing the value of user data. Very few companies have a better business model.
Today and even more so in the future, websites will turn into apps and traditional ways of helping people find what they're looking for will change, as well as methods of accessing powerful user data.
There's an interesting company named Mimvi (MIMV.OB) that's just now exiting the development stage and entering the revenue producing arena. The stock has been utterly crushed on recent financings down to the current market cap of $8.1 million here at the PPS of .118, but it certainly appears this has come to an end, as the company's CEO stated in Mimvi's first-ever conference call on April 16th, "We now have resources for the next several quarters." Translation in my book as a professional ? Once the last of the shares have been sold, MIMV can set its sights as high as it wants and Kasian Franks (company's Founder) has made it clear he sees a path to an eventual billion dollar valuation for the company. You look at Quixey with a current valuation of $150 million versus MIMV's $8.1 million and there's just no comparison, as Mimvi is growing like wildfire and probably not far from turning its first-ever profit. Investors look at Mimvi's recently filed 10-K and say, "Oh my God that's ugly," but what they don't pay attention to is that the company has now exited from the development stage and has several world-class products set for launch. One needs to look no further than the company's Alexa web traffic ranking to realize how fast the growth really is. Many speculators talk about a buyout and while it's rather early for that, it's certainly a possibility on down the road and we're not talking about years based upon what appears to be warp-speed user adoption. Mimvi recently launched their app in the Android store. Mimvi is based in Sunnyvale, CA, not far from Google's Mountain View headquarters. Like Google, Mimvi is also in the business of search and recommendations, except they focus on helping people find and discover mobile apps. They have a proprietary technology platform that has its basis in the Human Genome Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where Mimvi's Founder, Kasian Franks, developed a breakthrough genomic algorithm for gene comparison. This is the inspiration behind Mimvi's proprietary search and recommendation technology.
The number of downloads in the first week of launching their app has been astonishing. The app has even been featured on the first page of "Trending Apps" in the Google app store.
In addition, I love the new look of their search results, which went live last week.
Imagine going back in time and being an early investor in Google when user adoption was just on the uptick in the most important sector of the next decade. Assuming Mimvi's user metrics continue down this path and looking at the mobile world as the next hot sector, I am very excited about the prospects for Mimvi in the future. The questions become .... how much are each of their users worth, those who are "searching" for a mobile app and how many users can they garner over the next year ?

Joe OT, been following you for a long time, through good and bad. I was banned a year and a half from the SIAF board. I am quite unique. I actually made money on this stock, one of the very few in the world. I bought with both fists several years ago around 130...rode it up to its highs around 1.65, smelled (finally finally finally) the rot in the china micro frauds, and dumped it all just before the collapse at around 1.5. You comments are good on the board because they help people who might be trapped by the spiderweb PE of 1. This is such an easy trap. You have been spot on now for a long time about this company and other china micros. My compliments, and I think you are a beacon for novice americans who will get their money stolen by siaf management. It is a disgrace they trade still on U.S. exchanges. The whole lot of them should be indicted. At some point, sooner rather than later, there will be some issues and I look for that whole Swede house to come crashing down as they finally leave, en masse. Anyway, I just want to thank you for your publications on I LOVE siaf board. I said a lot of what you did, advising about the fraud in china stocks that are above U.S. law, and the people there, who have since lost 75% of their money, banned me. go figure. thanks again, johnny
Human nature... when people are losing money in a trade they always hope to "get even" rather than accept the loss and move on... someone who is reminding them of their mistaken judgement is not going to be welcome for long in most cases... most people invest emotionally rather than dispassionately.

Taking the next step..
By lifeinherwords on January 26, 2013
Why is it that when you finally find love, like actual real love, that everything goes wrong? I have always felt like I know what I'm doing with my life, I make mistakes but I'm strong and I like my independence but now I'm in love I question my every decision. What makes us women change for the men we love? I know some women will be reading this and thinking that women who change for men are naive but if you look at your relationship, I mean REALLY look at it then I'm sure you too will find something you have changed. For example when I met my fiancé I was always out with my friends, taking a drink and not really caring about what people thought of me but now we are this far on in our relationship I feel like if I go out all the time and drink too much alcohol I'm embarrassing myself and if I walk down the street in something too revealing I'm making myself seem available when I'm clearly not. So what does make us change? Some of us don't want to end up old and single and some of us just feel like it's the right thing to do when you pass that certain stage of intimacy and feeling in our relationship. I feel like I have changed for the better, I am stronger and I feel like I am finally the responsible adult I should be but I know I am still not doing everything that I should be 'expected' to do. For me now I face the final crossroads every women gets to before marriage, and in this moment I am confused with what I should do. Sure I love him, but is love enough? Sometimes I wonder if us women just settle for this whole idea of a 'fairy tale', but are we really looking at the bigger picture? This man will be your husband, the father to your children and yet you put to one side all the bad qualities he has just because you hope he will change, well guess what ladies - HE WON'T. It will still be the same dirty towels on your bathroom floor he refuses to pick up or the constant "I'll be home late from work I'm going to take a drink with the guys" or my personal favourite the "I'm always right" bit that he performs every time you have an argument. Maybe we should step back from our relationships and think "do I deserve better?".
