AV Homes to build 153 homes in Belmont
AV Homes on Tuesday said it plans to build 153 homes in a Belmont community that will target first-time homebuyers.
The community, Morgan's Branch, is near the intersection of South Point Road and Armstrong Road.
Homes will be priced from about $200,000 to about $250,000 and range in size from 1,800 to 3,000 square feet each. In addition to first-time homebuyers, AV Homes said it is targeting first-time move-up buyers.
"Recent census data shows that those between the ages of 25 and 34 are attracted to markets like Charlotte and we believe this trend will continue over the next few years," Bill Kiselick, president of the company's Carolinas division, said in a statement.
Morgan's Branch is the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company's first community in the Charlotte area since it expanded to the Carolinas last year. AV Homes also plans to build a 650-home active-adult community, Creekside at Bethpage, in the mixed-use Bethpage development in Durham.

Obama's Mideast Realignment
His new doctrine: Downgrade ties to Israel and the Saudis while letting Iran fill the vacuum left by U.S. retreat.
Interviewees: Allan H. Meltzer
Martin N. Baily
Interviewer: Roya Wolverson
January 29, 2010
In response to high unemployment and the public's growing frustration over the ballooning U.S. deficit and sizeable bank bonus payouts, Obama has added several economic proposals to Congress' docket of ongoing financial regulatory reforms. These include plans to tax banks' excessive risk-taking, ban proprietary trading, cap the government's discretionary spending, and help the middle class.
Allan Meltzer, professor of political economy at Carnegie Mellon University, says these proposals are mostly "cosmetic," and do more to address Obama's "concern for building a constituency for the election" than to fix economic problems.
Martin Baily, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, says that although Obama's bank tax probably will not work, it would be nearly impossible for him to propose deeper spending cuts without losing either Democratic or Republican support.
The reappointment of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on January 28 also divided lawmakers and economists, despite the White House's strong support for the move. Although Meltzer commends Bernanke for his creativity and decisiveness in responding to the financial crisis, he also argues that Bernanke overstepped his role, jeopardizing the Federal Reserve's independence and putting the country at risk of inflation. By contrast, Baily says considering the magnitude of the crisis, anyone in Bernanke's position would have made mistakes, but overall his performance has been "terrific."

63 of 92 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: The House of Wisdom: How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization (Hardcover)
Contrary to the other reviews, I found the book extremely poor. Lyons has no grasp of medieval Europe what so ever. He believes that T-O maps were actual attemps at drawing a map of the world. He ignores the actual theological basis of the maps. He also ignores many of the great European thinkers.
He tells us the West had no great scientist, but gives ample examples of the opposite. He takes many of his sources at face value. The speech of Uban II, for example, is not viewed as a rethorical speech of war, but as an actual account of Medieval life.
Moreover his account is largely about the rather obscure Adelard of Bath, a rather obscure monk whose influence is debatable. Historians doubt wether Adelard actually mastered Arabic. Lyons does not even mention this debate but assumes Adelard could read Arabic.
Most major books on the subject are not listed in the bibliography or the endnotes (how could he miss Hugh Kennedy's major book on the Arab conquest?). Much of his discourse on the Western European Dark Ages is based on works that are over 50 years old! He doesn't use any books that challenge his thoughts.
There are so many factual errors that it's impossible to name all of them. Just a few then.
On page 49 he qoutes from the Ecclesiastical history of the English people by Bede. The qoute relates, according to Lyons, to the battle of Poitiers, as Lyons calls it, but is known as the battle of Tours nowadays (as Lyons doesn't use any books on Western European history that postdate 1974 it's not suprising he has missed this name change). If so Bede must have been able to foresee the future. The battle took place in 732 (according to Lyons pre-1974 literature, 733 or 734 according to modern scholars), the book was written in 731.
Later on he mentions Al-Khwarizmi wrote a book that included the Christian Calendar, starting from 632, although the book was written in the 8th century. However in 632 there was no Christian calendar. Christians used the Roman calendar throughout the 7th and 8th century. It was Bede who thought of the Christian Calendar early in the 8th century, but it didn't catch on immediately.
West Europeans were capable of calculating Easter. The problem was not that they could not calculate but that they could not agree on the interpretations of the Bible. So the Celtic church celebrated Easter on the first day of Spring (regardless of whether this was on a Sunday), while the Romans did not. The Easter tables that were eventually adopted at the synod of Whitby (664 AD) are still in use today.
The Arabs did not invent the two cilinder pump. In fact this was an invention of the ancient Egypts. The Europans did not believe that disease was a punishment from God (if they did why would they need doctors?). They believed in the Greek theory of Galen and assumed there was an imbalance in the four humours. Of course there were Christians who believed that diseases were a punishment of God and took to exorcism, but this was by far a minority.
Medieval people did not think the Earth was flat. Isidore of Sevilla might have done, but this was not the general view of the Medieval academic world. How could he not mention the universities, by the way?
I could go on. But there are so many of them. Most derive from the imagination of Lyons, rather than from fact. None of the above fictions has an endnote.
This is by far the worst history book I have read in my life. And that's a pity because his central thesis is right! Large parts of Western science and Philosophy owe enourmous debt to Arabic learning (by the way, Arabic is not the same as Islamic and here again Lyons misses the point and does not mention that many achievements were reached despite Islam, as many Western inovations were made despite the church). And yes, European knowledge was remarkably poor at the beginning of the Middle Ages. Christians did destroy much of what the Ancients had written. But Medieval Europe was not as bad as Lyons thinks it was, and there was enormous progress, both thanks to the Arabs and thanks to Europeans themselves. Moreover he only focuses on The Franks and Normans (Vikings and Celts are not researched).
In his quest to hammer home his point, Lyons has recreated a Medieval world that never was. Somebody should rewrite this book in a more balanced way. For now, avoid this book.

You have raised a number of points. However, all of them are completely wrong. I must also question your motives for writing such a review. It seems to me very likely that you are a born again christian. Hence, your review will be incredibly biased and inaccurate. Please provide details of the supposed 'great western thinkers' during this era. It is an undisputed fact there were none. Furthermore, you barely skimmed the surface of the issue regarding christians and 'ancient knowledge'. The christians believed Greek academic work to be the work of the devil. Thus, during expansion in the Middle East, the christians took it upon themselves to completely destroy the great library of Alexandria. Subsequently, very few Greek texts managed to survive (no more than c. two dozen parchments of few and incomplete pages). It is also falsehood propagated by western historians that the Arabs gained all of their knowledge from Greek texts. The Greeks managed to correctly ascertain the basic premise in areas such as mathematics and medicine. However, the more advanced principles were completely wrong and the Arabs proved this. The Arabs not only corrected the Greek mistakes, but they also set the record straight. Furthermore, you are also unaware that it was the Visigoths who begged the Arabs to take control of their lands and to negotiate 'peace deals' amongst other tribes, as they were on the brink of extinction due to inherent tribal wars. Try watching 'when the muslim moors ruled Europe' by Bettany Hughes. She is an Oxford historian and her findings will blow all of your arguments out of the water.

sweed basher - historian says:
If Christians thought Greek learning was the work of the devil (which they did not - that is an ignorant slur) and as (only part of the holdings of) the Library of Alexandria was destroyed in 391, some centuries before the Arab conquest of Egypt in 639; and that the Christian Byzantine Empire ruled in Syria, Palestine and Egypt up to the time of the Arab conquest; how do you explain the survival of Greek learning at all, if Christians were unwilling to preserve it?
Modern historians place a heightened emphasis on the revival of links with Byzantium at the end of the 11th century in the process of translation and dissemination into W Europe. The Byzantines had never lost the knowledge of ancient Greek thought and learning (most of our finest versions of ancient texts are Byzantine Greek ones, not Arab versions). The old idea that everything was translated from Arabic in Spain has been seriously modified. Robert Grosseteste (one of the mythic European intellectuals you ask about) used Greek versions obtained probably from Southern Italy or Sicily.
I am afraid the Arabs were not the most intellectually forward of peoples before they conquered and absorbed the cultures of the Greek East. That is why the Dome of the Rock was built by Byzantine masons - they didn't know how to do it themselves. Now this is not to say that they never added to the knowledge they gained from the Greeks following their conquests - they certainly did. But it must be accepted that Arab learning (beyond their theology) is derived from that of the Greeks.
But the argument made in this review is that the Europeans were not as ignorant as is claimed. Bede knew the Earth was round, and described as such in De Temporum Ratione.
I think it would be fair to say that the reason that the intellectual effort of Europe was concentrated on theology in the centuries 500 - 900 is that this is where the culture of the time placed its greatest emphasis. For example, Arab astronomy developed from a need to accurately find the direction of Mecca. No such requirement acted as a spur to Christendom. Indeed in some aspects of achievement Europe was ahead of Islam, and would remain so - notably in the field of architecture. As for your statement that the 'advanced principles' of Greek mathematics were wrong and needed to be corrected, well Euclid stands as the foundation of all geometry, and his work needed no such 'correction'. Also, I must ponder, why if Arab science was so far advanced in the Middle Ages, did they meekly accept the Ptolemaic view of the universe? This is not a sneer at Arab learning - Copernicus only made the mental leap in the 16th cent. but the tired old idea that the Arabs had it centuries before the West just won't do. The real picture is a lot more complex and interesting; even if it does upset some pseudo-historical propaganda.
Oh and as for European thinkers, well I will start with Boethius, and add John the Scot and Anselm of Bec. I won't mention Abelard, Fulbert of Chartres or Anselm of Lyons, as they are a little late.
One thing is certain, once Europe had absorbed Greek learning in the century and a half following the First Crusade, Arab learning was overtaken. This is not jingoism, just fact. From Bacon to Aquinas Europe powered into the lead, intellectually - a position it still holds.
Bettany Hughes' documentary was very biased. For example the assertion that the artistic expressions, known as Courtly Love and the Troubadours, originate in Moorish Spain is highly contentious. It is one theory put forward, but is not a majority opinion by scholars in the field.
Also the inane attempt to argue that the Gothic architectural style derives from Islamic architecture is tenuous at best and certainly not as proposed in that travesty of an assertion. I suggest you read Wilson 'The Gothic Cathedral' to get a more realistic view of architectural history; it's a good place to start. The same warping of fact is true of her implication that Oxford University began as a direct result of one mans efforts to acquire translations of Arab texts. This makes no mention that the schools of Oxford had been growing in importance for many years prior to that - or that Paris had already developed a fully fledged university before the translations of texts really began. I must also add that the picture of Arabs being 'invited' to take over in Spain is far from the reality. Those Visigothic leaders, who could, escaped to the north of Iberia, from where they would eventually revive. Indeed the idea of happy coexistence in Moorish Spain is not the whole picture (leaving aside the crippling financial and legal discrimination for Christians and Jews), once the Almoravids conquered Alandalus, the Jews were driven out by ferocious persecution and sought sanctuary in the Christian kingdoms. (This latter b should really be born in mind when the 'bad' Christian attitude to Judaism in the Middle Ages is talked about, but that's another debate).
Hughs may be a historian - but she is no Medieval historian. In this field she is an amateur, and sadly one who seems to be on a mission to twist history for what seems to be a political agenda.
Finally maybe we should be told your religious faith, as you seem so quick to judge others? And your condemnation that a Christian is not capable of clear thought and unbiased conclusions is offensive and speaks of your bigotry, not that of the reviewers.
I also disagree with a little that the initial review said, although his questioning the significance of Adelard of Bath is valid, I feel it is over-stressed.

The ranty nature of the book and the unreliable historical "facts" made this book a huge disappointment for me as well. It's more ranting about how evil the Europeans were with little content on actual Islamic science. It's incredibly unbalanced and biased and far from what you'd call proper history writing.

Medieval Lady says:
So if Christians though Greek Learning was 'of the devil' why was Medieval Western Cosmology based on the Aristotelean concept of geocentrism- and why do we have the likes of Alfred the Great translating Boethuis (who attempted to reconcile Greek Philosophy with Christianity) as early as the 9th century? Why were some beliefs such as transubstationation in the Medieval church based on Platonic/Aristotlean principles?
"Furthermore, you are also unaware that it was the Visigoths who begged the Arabs to take control of their lands and to negotiate 'peace deals' amongst other tribes, as they were on the brink of extinction due to inherent tribal wars."
These would be the Arabs ruled by the Ummayad Caliphate of Damascus, which was overthrown by the Abbasids of Baghdad within a century or so, and survived only in Spain as the 'Caliphate' of Cordoba- which in turn fell as a result of of internal divisions, politcal upheaval, and the collapse of centralised power in the 10th-11th century and broke up into a series of different majority Islamic territories?
These being the same territories whose leaders were not adverse to hiring Christian mercenaries to fight for them against other Muslims?
What was that you were saying about coming to the brink of extinction due because of inter-tribal warfare?

this is the scenario i'm trying to achieve: a sound stored on the same server as a web application, plays when a condition is met on the client. It works perfectly when I run it in the IDE and change the webconfig to point to the server where the DB is. However when I deploy it and access it via the browser, the sound does not play. The same sound that played when i used my development machine. Code is:
var configsetings = new System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader();
string soundPath= configsetings.GetValue("Notification",typeof(System.String)).ToString();
var sound = new System.Media.SoundPlayer { SoundLocation = Server.MapPath(soundPath) };
web config is:
<add key="Notification" value="~/beep-4.wav" />
The sound file is sitting in the root folder of the ASP.NET web application. So what could be wrong? There is no audio output device on the server neither is there a player like media player nevertheless these factors did NOT stop it from working in my dev machine.

Ever since he first hit movie screens in 1962, James Bond has been an iconic figure. But the stylistic evolution of the films' posters—from the bright colors and arched brows of the Sean Connery days to the grim and largely monochromatic Daniel Craig editions—is suggestive not only of the development of graphic design but also of just how much Bond's cultural role has changed over the years.

The colors are not what I expected. Disappointed. The grey is more of a steel blue. Does not match our furniture.
The color of the background on this rug is more blue than gray. I am going to use it in my bedroom instead of the living room, which is the room I bought it for. The quality is good. The price is very good.
I would purchase the rug again its beautiful. I ordered this rug on a Sunday evening and it was at my door by Wednesday.
The rug looks and feels amazing. It's closer to a light blue than a gray, but it worked well in our living room. The rug also sheds a bit at first, but you just have to vacuum a bunch in the beginning and the shedding will let up. (this is common for wool rugs, no big deal.) The rug was exactly what we were looking for, and I couldn't be happier with what we got. Not to mention, Overstock and the shipper were INCREDIBLY FAST, i have no idea how it got to our house so quickly! A great purchase and shopping experience all around.

Amending Native Soil
I would like to convert a flowerbed next to my house into a succulent garden. The soil is not too bad (not clay); it is pretty easy to pull out weeds and such. I am not sure if I should amending the soil in the flowerbed by adding perlite or something else to make it more appropriate for growing succulents. I've been reading all about Gritty Mix (which I plan to use for my succulents in containers), but need a bit of advice about growing in-ground. Thanks!
I add grit in the form of decomposed granite , expanded shale and scoria to my dirt. pea gravel chunks of rock, builders sand. And lots of it. Some people do 1/3 native soil 1/3 peagravel and 1/3 decomposed granite.I need to add some humus because my native soil lacks in it.
You should be able to find pumice (in place of perlite) - I'd guess 3/5 pumice, 1/5 organic matter, and 1/5 decomposed granite. That'd be a wonderful canvas to start with.
Thank you wantonamara and cactusmcharris for your answers! Do you think the size of the decomposed granite and pumice would matter much in this application? I am thinking it wouldn't matter too much as long as they are not huge chunks, but would like to hear your opinions too. Would love to be able to just buy some and put it into the garden without sifting and all that.
I'm no expert at amending native soils, but those sizes sound way too big. Wouldn't sand do a better job of increasing drainage? With coarse gravel I'd think the native soil would simply pack into the large pore spaces created by the gravel, leaving you with the same drainage characteristics as when you started. That was my experience when mixing native soil with gravel anyways. I imagine a bit of fine gravel may be useful after sufficient sand has been added, but it seems pointless to mix soils of vastly different particle sizes.
Not my experience in San Diego, that's for sure - we never, ever used sand as a drainage element in planting someone's garden plants (C&S), for the same reason that it's not recommended for a potting soil ingredient anywhere- it sucketh mightily in that regard.
I had a girlfriend that used sand and pea gravel and a little bit of compost to break up OKCity clay gumbo and she used lots of sand and pea gravel and it worked for her . She successfully grows cactus and xeric natives very well. there was very little native clay soil in the mix when done with. She did use a coarse builders sand.
I forgot to say that she used 1 part 1 part 1part formula so the native soil was the minority and what was a packed gumbo became a loose soil that grew things very well. I traded with her and some plants came in the soil and believe me , if you add enough gravel it makes it loose.
I definitely agree with not using sand in containers, but growing in the ground is a completely different situation. Sandy soils are known for draining quickly and holding little water and nutrients. This is typically a bad thing for garden plants, but probably quite good for many succulents.
My understanding is that loam can be from clay, sand or silt based but has been mitigated by other factors combining characteristics. I am not an expert . When I hear clay loam or Sandy loam I think of two different things. I see that a stream has brought in silt, sand or clay sometime in melenium to moderate the pure state of either element. I really don't know too much about geology and soil mechanics. I need to go back to school.

Water for the battery
The battery in my Pontiac was way low on water so I filled it up with tap water. Now I find out I was supposed to use distilled water. Is tap water going to hurt it?
It all depends on what was in the tap water. If it was full of lime, minerals, and treatment chemicals, notably chlorine compounds, then yes, these comtaminants will react with the acid in the battery and produce precipitants that are not good for the battery plus using up some of the acid. In other cases, tap water can be relatively free of other material and won't do much harm. It all depends.
If your battery is still working ok, consider yourself lucky and don't do it again. One dose of tap water may not kill the battery immediately, but continue the practice and it may. The contaminants build up with additional refills. If you find yourself away from home and your neutral water supply, drop in at a grocery store and buy water for steam irons.
Some folks collect the condensate from their cental air conditioner to use for neutral water, but this is not the best. This water will contain bacteria, mold spores, and common house dust like the stuff that makes dust bunnies under the bed.
Batteries usually go 3-5 years before normal cycling kills them no matter what you do. Tap water might shorten it's life. If it does, I'd bet not by much if any. Being way low on water can be an indication that it's on it's way out anyway. It can also indicate the battery is being over charged so watch out for that. Even if your battery quits tomorrow, I wouldn't conclude it was because you used tap water today.
It's actually possible to add water to almost any battery even still today. (The AGM Absorbant Glass Mat, or GEL batteries are a significant exception to that) Maintanence Free, does not mean never needs service, or cannot possibly benefit from service. The battery caps come right off with minimal effort. Use ONLY distilled water if adding.

Bobby Brown, TV crew member OK after Cocke wreck
NEWPORT, Tenn. - Singer and actor Bobby Brown and a television production crew member suffered no injuries in a minor wreck Thursday in Cocke County, authorities said Saturday.
Brown, 39, wasn't driving at the time of the wreck Thursday afternoon, Cocke County Sheriff Claude Strange said. Brown and the crew member were taken to Baptist Hospital of Cocke County and later released, the sheriff said.
The crew member's name wasn't available today.
Brown, known for his R&B performances, former marriage to singer Whitney Houston, and various arrests over the years, has been in Cocke County at the Christopher Place resort for the past month filming a comedy series for the CMT cable network.
The show, "Outsider's Inn," centers around attempts by Brown and co-stars Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on the 1970s television show "The Brady Bunch," and singer Carnie Wilson to run an inn.
The wreck happened when the vehicle, driven by the crew member, apparently ran off a road due to an equipment failure on the way to the inn on Pinnacles Way, a CMT publicist said. They were about a mile from the inn when the wreck happened, she said Saturday.
Cameras weren't rolling at the time. McCormick and the other co-stars weren't in the vehicle, the publicist said.
No charges have been filed, and no serious injuries resulted, the sheriff said.
The deputy who worked the wreck couldn't be reached today.
Filming for the show wraps up next week. Plans call for the show to begin airing in August.
