what are the correct measurements for this valance? The description says 84 inches LONG and 18 inches WIDE. Is it 84 w x 18 L?
The Lush Valance is exactly that, full and lush, exactly as shown in the photo. When I hung it in our kitchen I realized that it was too feminine and frilly for what we needed in our Arizona kitchen, but in the right room it would be beautiful. Soon after, I purchased a brown and tan sheer valance which was just right. I was very impressed with the effortless process of returning the Lush Valance to Overstock. I printed a postage-paid return label for UPS. The package was picked up when the second valance was delivered. The cost of mailing was taken out of my refund. Soon after, I received confirmation that Overstock had received the valance, and I was reimbursed. I will do business with Overstock again....

Tips on Decorating with Window Valances
For hundreds of years, window valances have been a dignified and classic way to bring a strong sense of style into an entire room. Window valances can quickly set the mood in a room and turn the window space into a framed work of art. When it comes to curtains and window treatments, you can almost do no wrong. Still, using window drapes to convey a style can be especially striking. Whether you are going for chic and modern window treatments or dignified and traditional window valances, here are a few window treatment ideas to help you on your road to window valance success.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Drape a Scarf Valance
The flowing beauty of a scarf valance adds character to home window treatments. With many ways to drape a scarf valance, it is simple to change the look in each room of the home. Whether the scarf valance is positioned over panels of drapery, sheer curtains or blinds, it adds color and texture to the room. Discover a few basic instructions that will yield a swag-style scarf valance using swag hooks. The instructions may be modified to create a variety of creative valances.
Why You Need a Window Valance
Although sporting a traditional window valance is often attributed to stuffy old mansions, this timeless style is being reclaimed by in-the-know hipsters who are turning the dignity of the window valance into a chic, contemporary look for every apartment, flat or home. You don't have to own an estate to hang curtains and window treatments. An increasing number of young, urban professionals are making apartments feel like home with window drapes to match their modern sense of style. No matter what your living arrangements, window valances can add a finishing touch to make your residence a home. There are a million reasons why you need a window valance, but here are just a few to help give the extra push you need to join the window valance revolution.
Best Valances for Living Room Windows
Dress up the curtains in your living room windows when you buy elegant valances for your home. Whether you want to cover up unsightly hardware above your windows or just add a special touch to your drapes, window valances are a great way to make your living room more polished. With many valance styles available, however, you may be wondering which will work well in your home. This guide provides you with information about the best valances for living room windows.
Top 5 Window Treatments for Small Apartments
Decorating a small space can be a challenge, especially when it comes to window treatments. However, there are plenty of ideas to choose from, including valances, window blinds and other modern window treatments, that will suit your home. Read on to learn about the top five window treatments for small apartments.
How to Pick Window Treatments to Go Over Wood Blinds
While they're an attractive alternative to traditional blinds and shades, wood blinds can be plain. However, you can easily dress up wooden blinds with additional window treatments. Whether you want to add a valance, or you simply want a more finished look that only curtains can provide, these window treatments make it easy to blend your wood blinds with any home decor.
Cornices Explained
Window cornices are just one of the many window treatments that can make standard curtains a decorative fixture in the room. They are typically rectangular boxes that house a curtain rod or valance, but can also be found in different shapes, styles and materials. Cornices mounted close to the ceiling and covering the gap between the wall and window can make a room appear taller and more dramatic. To learn more about decorating using a window cornice, read on.
How to Decorate an Arch Window
Arched windows allow light to enter the home through beautifully curved glass. Decorative arched windows create a spacious feel and add warmth from the sun's glow while providing a wide view of the outdoors. Dressing an arched window for privacy is similar to adding window treatments to standard square or rectangular windows, with a few adjustments. Drapes, valances and curtains can be fitted for arched windows and coordinated with standard window treatments in the home.
Top 5 Crib Sets for Baby Girls
The crib set you choose for your baby can highlight the theme of a nursery or even dictate it. Crib sets will typically include everything you need for the crib: sheets, pillows, quilt, bumper pad, and bedskirt. Depending on the bedding set you choose, it may also include a diaper stacker, window valance, or other nursery decorations. It's fun to pick out a theme for your nursery and just as much fun to find the best crib set for your baby. Here are the most popular ideas for baby girls.
Best Bathroom Ideas for Kids
Make bathroom decorating a creative and enjoyable experience for your children. Use their favorite hobbies, colors and critters as inspiration for their bathroom decor. If you are decorating a kids' bath on a budget, use paint or bright towels to give the old bathroom a new look. Start with an attractive bathroom accessory such as a vibrant shower curtain and choose bathroom decor to match. If several children will be sharing the space, choose gender-neutral themes and colors.
Best Gender Neutral Designs for Crib Sheets
When you're decorating your baby's nursery, don't forget the little things, like crib sheets. You wouldn't want your crib sheets to clash with the rest of the bedding or the rest of the nursery decor. Choosing gender-neutral crib sheets is a great idea if you start decorating your nursery before you know the gender of your baby or if you want to be able to save the crib sheets for younger siblings in the future. You know to stay away from pink and baby blue and to choose yellow, green, beige and bright colors for a gender-neutral nursery, but the pattern of your baby sheets can be important, too. You wouldn't want princesses for your little boy or trucks for your little girl. When you're shopping for baby bed sheets, the following crib sheet designs can help you select gender-neutral crib sheets for your nursery.
Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink Fact Sheet
One of the most durable and style-neutral kitchen design choices you can make is deciding on a stainless steel kitchen sink. Stainless steel is sleek, rust-resistant and fits with a whole range of decor and appliance designs. If you're not sure about which materials you want for your kitchen sink, the following facts about stainless steel kitchen sinks may just convince you.
Using Area Rugs to Showcase the Latest Color Trends
Just like fashion, home decor trends come and go quickly. Decorating and furnishing a home is a big commitment, however, so it's much harder to change out your home wardrobe to fit the pictures of inspiring spaces that you've been eyeing. The best way to keep your home current without spending a lot of money is to switch out items like area rugs and keep the main furniture. After you've invested in a few neutral pieces of furniture, follow this guide to help you find a rug that fits with the latest trends.
How to Decorate in Country Decor
The warm, inviting feeling of country home decor makes it an enduring design trend. Some people favor the more rustic side of country decor, integrating wooden furniture with distressed surfaces and flea market finds. Others tend toward the country cottage look of cheery primary colors set against white accents. The French country look has a more subdued effect, combining faded cornflower blue, sage green, mustard or antique white with black accents. Whatever style of country home decor you prefer, take a look at the following tips for some inspiring decor ideas.
How to Decorate With Glitter
Glitter adds extra pizzazz to all kinds of craft projects. This shimmery embellishment can be applied to paper, home decor items, holiday decorations and pictures. In fact, glitter can be used to decorate nearly any object that you want to dress up. There are many different types and colors of glitter including fine and coarse glitter as well as white, blue, red and pink glitter. Each type of glitter has its own individual best uses. Learning how to decorate with glitter will give you the license to add sparkle to everything you touch in a tasteful way and let you personalize your home, craft projects and even your clothing and accessories.
How to Decorate With Flowers
Whether you have a light-filled courtyard and gazebo or a dark, forgotten corner in a room, flowers and plants provide a dash of color and life in a space. Decorating with fresh flowers demands a certain amount of maintenance involving plucking dried or wilted blossoms, changing water and supplying fresh blooms. If you don't have the time and money to invest in fresh flower arrangements, consider silk plants and floral arrangements instead. Start simply and gradually add in more decorative touches as you incorporate flowers into your home decor. Whether you prefer fresh flowers or silk floral arrangements, you will gather lots of fresh inspiration from the following ideas.
How to Decorate Your Patio
A properly outfitted and decorated garden and patio makes a home feel like it has a bonus room or two. In warmer months, stylish patio and garden decor creates the perfect atmosphere for entertaining, dining outdoors or just relaxing and reclining. In cooler months, the patio or porch becomes a beautiful spot to watch the rain and also can operate as a mud room for dropping off outer layers of clothing and boots. Add some seating and accents for a quick patio and garden decor makeover, or invest more time and money in a full patio redesign.
How to Decorate a Bed
The bedroom often serves as a room where decorators let their imaginations run wild, transforming the space into a retreat. In most bedrooms, the bed operates as the focal point of the room, determining the bedroom's theme and palette. Bedroom furniture often has a finish that is perfect for accenting with interesting colors. One of the best aspects of decorating a bed is that it is simple to switch the headboard, frame, textiles or pillows to shift the entire look.
How to Decorate Your Vanity
It's the center of your morning routine, so your bathroom vanity should be beautiful and functional. To optimize your vanity space, you need to make sure there's enough storage for the things you need and that you've removed the things you don't need. Follow these steps to create a useful and attractive space.

Alvilla Nelson says you couldn't pay him to park illegally in a handicap spot today -- now that he has been busted and fined for doing so.
When the Free Press first contacted Nelson in June at his Redford Township home, he wouldn't explain why, over the last four years, he has parked illegally in handicap spots in Warren six times, racking up nearly $1,200 in fines, according to court records.
Nelson, 60, did admit he was not disabled, but when he learned the Free Press was interested in his tickets, he had little else to say and shut his door.
But in a subsequent telephone call, Nelson admitted his mistake and said he had no excuse for violating the law.
"There's no other way to paint it, I abused the system. ... You have to pay," Nelson said. "So in my particular case, I did the crime -- if you want to call it the crime -- and I paid. ...
"Enough is enough, and as long as I'm living, I'll never do it again."
Nelson was among the most chronic offenders found in tens of thousands of handicap parking tickets examined by the Free Press, which obtained ticket information for 2009-11 from Warren and 20 other police departments and courts in an attempt to find repeat violators in the area.
Of Nelson's six tickets, issued since 2008, three were for using someone else's permit. In two of those cases, records show he was charged with a misdemeanor. Records show that at least twice, Nelson used a canceled permit registered to someone born in 1927.
Nelson didn't want to discuss the borrowed permit and said he thought he'd received fewer tickets. Nelson said he parked illegally just because it made his walk across Mound Road to the Chrysler plant a little closer. He said he has worked there for 16 years.
"The bottom line is, it was wrong, there's no defense for it," he said. After paying tickets, "I own stock in the City of Warren now."

Alabama Legislature Honors Activist Angela Davis
Red state politics may have taken on a new meaning in Alabama.
Alabama's Republican-controlled Legislature passed a resolution honoring Angela Davis, who was a vice presidential nominee for the Communist Party in 1980 and 1984.
The resolution by Democratic Rep. Oliver Robinson of Birmingham won approval in the House Feb. 14 and in the Senate Feb. 19. Republican Gov. Robert Bentley declined to sign it, but it still became an official act of the Legislature.
Robinson says Davis is a Birmingham native, and he sponsored the resolution because she will be appearing in Birmingham March 30.
The chairman of the House Rules Committee, Republican Mac McCutcheon of Huntsville, says he did not connect the Angela Davis in the resolution with the activist Angela Davis.

Earth boring process and apparatus in which a dam or the like is first bored through in a substantially horizontal direction, after which the leading first borehead used for the first boring is removed from the borestring and is replaced by a second drilling borehead having a larger diameter, the second borehead then being pulled in the opposite direction through the bore hole, so as to enlarge it. During both boring operations the respective boreheads are both turned and percussed or impacted.

References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS Elliott 175/53 X [5 7] ABSTRACT 5 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures EARTH BORING METHOD AND APPARATUS The bore hole is enlarged by boring with this larger borehead in the opposite direction.
It is known to bore a hole into soft material such as soil by means of a purely rotary boring with a leading borehead, in one direction carrying out a pre-boring and thereafter, also by pure rotary boring in the opposite direction with a borehead having a larger outer diameter than the previously used borehead, to continue the boring operation. One such arrangement is shown, e.g., in US. Pat. No. 2,928,468, issued to H. Wienands on Mar. I5, 1960.
It is furthermore known to push into the soil a cable which is partially driven by means of rollers and which is under tension and to enlarge the thus created hole by means of a helically shaped borer. Both of the aforedescribed processes have the drawback of not being suitable for producing holes in loose or solid rock.
It is an object of this invention to avoid the aforedescribed drawback and to provide a process which can, in a simple and economical manner, create bore holes having relatively large diameters in loose or solid rock in a substantial horizontal direction. In accordance with the invention the boring process of the aforedescribed type achieves this results in that during boring the leading borehead which is formed as a percussion bore crown as well as the percussion bore crown which is formed as a drill borehead are not only rotated but also are percussed or pounded.
Hereafter there is described the process in accordance with the invention in conjunction with a drawing in which there is illustrated schematically an arrangement for earring out the process.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is viewed partly in section and partly in eleva tion showing the aforementioned arrangement with the first smaller leading borehead formed as a percussion bore crown, and
FIG. 2 is a partial side view of the same arrangement wherein a second larger drilling borehead is formed as a percussion bore crown.
Referring now to the drawing, the drill string or pipe string which carries the first, smaller leading borehead 2 consists of pipes I screwed into each other and secured to a percussion boring machine 4 of a known type having its own rotary mechanism 5. This pipe string is driven in a substantial horizontal direction by the percussion boring machine 4 while pipes l are added as needed. The bored material or detritus travels through the ring shaped leading borehead 2 as well as the pipe sections 1 in the direction of the ejection bell 6 which is provided at the percussion bore machine 4 and is conducted by laterally disposed openings 7 into the open. Assume (as is illustrated in FIG. 1) the leading borehead 2 has bored through the dam, borehead 2 is removed from the borestring and is replaced by a ring shaped driven borehead 8 which has a substantially larger diameter. The cutting edges 8' of the driven head 8 are directed towards the ejecting bell 6. On the side of drilling borehead 8 which faces away from the percussion boring machine 4 a pipe section 9 as well as a second ejection bell 10 are screwed into each other. They are also loosely connected with a second percussion mechanism 11. Thereafter the enlarging boring operation is carried out whereby on one side of the drilling borehead 8 pipe sections 1 are removed at all times and on the other side there is added an equally long pipe section 9. The borestring and leading borehead 2, as well as the drilling borehead 8, are turned by the rotary mechanism 5 of the percussion bore machine 4. The forward and retracting sliding of the borestring is carried out by means of the bore carriage 3 on which the percussion boring machine 4 is mounted. When the force is exerted by the boring carriage 3 is not sufficient to obtain the desired boring output, then there are mounted on to the second percussion mechanism 1 1 an additional rotary and pushing motor. After the drilling head 8 has issued from the side of the darn facing the percussion boring machine 4, the drilling head 8, ejection bell l0 and percussion means 11 are replaced by means of a connection piece to a known pulling arrangement, by means of which there is inserted a supply conduit, for example a plastic pipe, into the thus formed bore in the earth.
In accordance with the process of this invention the possibility exists to produce even larger bore holes if in accordance with the aforedescribed boring pr) cess the respective bore hole is drilled with a drill head 8 of a larger diameter, such a drill head being moved away from the bore carriage 3.
In comparison to known boring processes the boring process of this invention has the advantage of carrying out in a simple and economical manner in loose as well as solid rock a substantially horizontal bore hole having relatively large diameter.
Although the invention is illustrated and described with reference to one preferred embodiment thereof, it is to be expressly understood that it is in no way limited to the disclosure of such a preferred embodiment, but
is capable of numerous modifications within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A process for boring holes of relatively large diameter through a darn or the like in rocky terrain, comprising the steps of first boring through the dam in a substantially horizontal direction with a first leading borehead by rotating said first borehead while simultaneously pushing it forwardly under a rapidly repetitive horizontal impact, then replacing the first borehead by a second drilling borehead having a larger diameter than the first borehead and then boring in the opposite direction through the first borehole with the second borehead by rotating said second borehead while simultaneously pushing it rearwardly under a rapidly repetitive horizontal impact, whereby the first borehole is enlarged. I
2. Apparatus for drilling a horizontal bore in a dam or the like in rocky terrain, comprising a first bore string consisting of pipe sections screwed to each other and having a first ejection bell with outlet openings adjacent the rear end of the first bore string, a borehead removably screwed on the forward end of the first bore string, said borehead being selectively a first leading borehead and a second larger ring-shaped drilling borehead, the cutting edges of the first leading borehead facing forwardly and the cutting edges of the second borehead facing rearwardly, a first percussion bore maejection bell.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a second bore string insertable between the second drilling borehead and the second ejection bell, the length of the second bore string being equal to the length of the first bore string.
5. Apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the second percussion bore machine includes an additional rotating and percussion motor.

Comprised of a photo montage of Selena Gomez fans each holding up each lyric, the video is tribute to all her supporters around the world. We had such a fun time watching each and every single fan's face, holding up their own unique way of displaying the lyric — whether it's on paper, written on their hands, or even a guitar! We loooove the creativity, patience, and heart that went into this unique lyric video.
What do you think of Selena's new lyric vid? Are you or any of your friends featured in it?

Historical Traveler Reviews Whale Watch Motel Flagler Beach
Got flea bites
Stayed in one of the efficiency rooms at the Whale Watch Motel for our anniversary. The owners have obviously put a lot of work into trying to renovate the property--to say that it is rustic old Florida is an understatement!
While we were there, the wireless internet did not work, and there are no phones, so be sure to bring your cell phone. We also got a lot of flea bites and our small dog that traveled with us also got infested.
We love the fact that small pets are allowed, but owners should be told to have them on a flea program!
Very Relaxing, Friendly Owners and Staff
While not fancy, The Whale Watch Motel was very relaxing. The owners were really nice, and the maid was a sweetheart. Great location right across from the beach. Wonderful to listen to the ocean at night. We plan to go back.
Great place!
We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The room was cute, clean & had an amazing view of the ocean. The staff was friendly & very helpful & attentive. They even provided treats for our two pugs that we brought along. The prcing was more than reasoable, too. We will definitely stay with them again.
Loved the Whale Watch
Hello, I just left the Whale Watch with my dog Jack. We loved it! Very clean and quiet. It was great to have my dog on vacation with me. I'll be back. Heather
This is a wonderful place!
I just want to say that our stay was the greatest. The owners, Pat and Barry are so warm and friendly and Maria was so nice. Our cottage was so clean and comfortable. We highly recommend this place. It was a nice quite place to relax. We had our little dog Samantha with us and they treated her like a little princess. She really enjoyed it there. We will definitely return for another vacation there.
The whale watch motel
I want to tell you how much we love the motel. We have been going there for four years now. I found it when I went online to petfriendlyhotels. We fell in love with Flagler Beach. We take our two dogs, a toy poodle and a mini dachshund. This year the dachshund died. But, she loved the beach. This year we have a new dachshund, who is going with us. I know she will love the beach, too. the Tiptons are so nice and the motel is great. We are right across the street from the beach. I love the beach because it is not too busy. The service at the motel is great and the people are, too. We will continue to go to the Whale Watch Motel in the future.

We Love it!
Welove it! Clean, peaceful reasonable and what a view-we keep going back!
Just married romantic
My husband and I enjoyed the Whale Watch. Clean,quiet and very comfortably affordable. A great view of the ocean and privacy.
Reminds me of Florida as it was . . .
This is the "old Florida" type place to spend an evening or a week. Clean, but nothing fancy. Old furnishings - comfortable and comforting. The ocean is right across the street; can be seen from your room. Affordable, clean, comfortable - I will stay there again.
Friendly, caring owners
What a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay. We spent the evening on the beach - just across the road. We plan to return.

'Blurred Lines' Lawsuit: Sony/ATV Settles With Marvin Gaye's Family (Exclusive)
The publishing company was accused of protecting Robin Thicke's hit song.
The heavyweight copyright lawsuit over "Blurred Lines" isn't over, but thanks to a settlement among some of the parties, the case will no longer put one music giant in an uncomfortable position.
Robin Thicke was the first to bring litigation and sought declaratory relief that his mega-hit song wasn't an improper copy of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up."
In response, Gaye's children not only brought counterclaims against Thicke and his producers but also targeted EMI April, owned by Sony/ATV, for allegedly breaching its obligations to protect the Gaye catalog. According to the Gaye family's court papers, EMI also administered rights on "Blurred Lines" and didn't want Gaye's family getting in the way of the song's ongoing success. The chairman of EMI is even said to have contacted Gaye's legal representative with warnings about making a frivolous claim.
STORY: Hollywood's Top 10 Legal Disputes of 2013
Put in the crossfire, Sony/ATV responded that the family's move to rescind their contractual relationship had been "ill-advised." Now comes a settlement agreement between Gaye's family and the music publisher. Terms haven't been made public.
The agreement means that Sony/ATV won't have to defend its impartiality in administering copyrights to both Thicke's work and Gaye's. It will also release the company from having to address what was said to have been a conflict inherent in owning 30 percent of the music publishing market.
However, it won't completely finish the involvement of Sony/ATV in the lingering dispute between Thicke and Gaye's children. As discovery is pursued, and as the case pushes its way to a potential trial, Thicke's camp will likely want a jury to hear exactly why Sony concluded the songs were not substantially similar.

Business Owner Pleads Guilty to Excise Tax Crimes and Fraud
by Terri Eyden on printer friendly
By Terri Eyden
Jason W. Leas, a Minnesota resident and cofounder of Best Used Trucks of Minnesota Inc., is facing a potential maximum penalty of five years in prison for excise tax crimes and fraud.
On June 11, the Justice Department and the IRS announced that Jason W. Leas, a resident of Crookston, Minnesota, and cofounder of Best Used Trucks of Minnesota Inc., plead guilty to one count of failing to pay federal excise taxes, one count of failing to file a federal excise tax return, and one count of filing a false individual federal income tax return for tax year 2007. Leas was charged by information filed on May 29, 2012.
As alleged in the plea agreement, from 2004 through 2007, Best Used Trucks was a farm truck dealership that bought and sold used trucks, new trailers, new grain boxes, and other heavy farm equipment, primarily to farmers throughout the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota. Beginning in 2004 and continuing through 2007, Leas and Best Used Trucks purchased and imported new end dump trailers, grain boxes, and gravel boxes from a Canadian manufacturer, which subjected the company to federal excise taxes upon selling them afterward.

Leas admitted that he knew of his responsibility for paying the 12 percent federal excise tax on the sale of these trailers and related equipment as well as to file federal excise tax returns. Leas pleaded guilty to failing to file an IRS Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, for the third quarter of 2005, and to failing to pay federal excise taxes of $9,636 for the first quarter of 2006. Leas admitted that he failed to pay over at least $80,088 in total federal excise taxes for ten quarters from 2004 through 2006.
He also plead guilty to willfully filing a false individual federal income tax return for the tax year 2007, which failed to report at least $120,151 in additional income with an additional tax due and owing of at least $36,872. The plea agreement alleged that from 2004 to 2007, Leas controlled two checking accounts in the name of Best Used Trucks of Minnesota. Leas used one of these accounts to both divert corporate receipts from Best Used Trucks and to buy and sell equipment that was not part of Best Used Trucks' ordinary business sales. Leas failed to report this income on his personal tax returns for four years, resulting in a total tax loss of at least $73,361.
Leas is facing a potential maximum penalty of five years in prison for all three charges; three years for willfully filing a false income tax return, and one year each for the failure to file and failure to pay charges.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Vermont scorecards, email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday Israel should sever contacts with the Palestinian Authority over its plans to ask the United Nations in September to upgrade the Palestinians' status in the world body.
Citing calls by some Palestinian officials for protests to coincide with the U.N. session, Lieberman, an ultranationalist, told reporters: "What is clear is the Palestinian Authority plans violence and bloodshed of a type we have not yet seen."
Lieberman said he would "demand that we cut off all contact" with the Palestinian Authority, led by Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, "at the earliest moment," ahead of a request to upgrade Palestinian status at the United Nations
The United States, which has veto power in the U.N. Security Council, is expected to oppose any Abbas bid to seek a unilateral U.N. mandate for statehood in the absence of peace talks with Israel, now frozen by intractable differences over conditions for resuming them.
Palestinian officials say that under an alternative plan, Abbas would ask the General Assembly to upgrade Palestine to a non-member state from its current status as an observer.
It was unclear whether Lieberman could win approval in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government for cutting off contact with the Palestinian Authority, which administers limited self-rule in the occupied West Bank.
But his remarks to reporters at a briefing in parliament seemed to reflect growing Israeli concerns about facing potential fallout from Palestinian plans at the United Nations.
Lieberman voiced disquiet that a U.N. status upgrade would give the Palestinians better access to the World Court and other international bodies, where they could seek war crimes proceedings against Israeli soldiers.
He said Palestinian plans to hold marches to Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank to back their U.N. bid would inevitably lead to violent confrontations with Israeli troops.
"Just imagine if 40,000 people try to charge through" a checkpoint in the Jerusalem area, he said. He saw such a protest as "stirring of violence to an extent we haven't yet seen."
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, sponsored by the United States, have been paralysed for nearly a year. U.S. efforts to revive them as September nears have made no visible progress.
Netanyahu's government, dominated by parties associated with Jewish settlers in the West Bank, has rejected a Palestinian demand for a halt to settlement-building before talks resume.

Given that it has hardly been a controversy in nine other provinces, one might wonder why banning children from using tanning beds would be controversial here.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives used their majority in the House of Commons Monday to pass a motion in support of a deeper military mission in the Middle East.
I can't resist the opportunity to respond to Les MacPherson's column, Resource royalties minefield for governments (SP, March 25) wherein he states,: "The (Blakeney NDP) government responded in turn by buying up 40 per cent of the provincial potash industry at a cost roughly equivalent to $2.3 billion today, all of it borrowed."
A Saskatoon care aide says he is left alone at times on his night shift to look after 32 residents on a dementia ward.
Here's a bet: Joe Oliver's budget - current whereabouts unknown, somewhat like the finance minister himself - and the Liberal response to it, will yield the ultimate ballot question in the 2015 election. That's because, security craze aside, the economy is the only big remaining file on which the two front-running parties - Conservatives and Liberals - are still battling over the same turf. And it is prime real estate.
A leading Canadian activist for Syria says it is time to step up the training of a rebel force capable of leading a ground war against both Islamic militants and the Assad government in Damascus.
Friday's Supreme Court decision upholding the federal government's right to destroy the last data from the federal long-gun registry appears to be a political victory for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and gun rights advocates.
Back in 2002, when George W. Bush was thinking about invading Iraq, his secretary of state, Colin Powell, warned the hawks around the table about the possible consequences, coming up with the Pottery Barn Rule: if you break it, you buy it.
The provincial government is rolling out a plan to give local businesses a leg up in competing for government projects.
Nine months after Premier Brad Wall said his government would act to level the playing field for Saskatchewan companies victimized by local preference procurement rules in other provinces, SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant has introduced a 13-point plan whose vague wording leaves lots of wiggle room.
There are 5,109,059 people in Norway who by 2020 will have one trillion dollars in oil-revenue savings.
Premier Brad Wall surprisingly reversed his government's position on strip clubs. The big question is, why?
The impact of falling oil prices is starting to show up in longer lines at Employment Insurance (EI) offices in the country's energy-producing provinces.
Mintz is the Palmer Chair, School of Public Policy, University of Calgary. This article is reprinted from the FP Commentary in the National Post.
When the Conservative government committed to sending Canadian troops to combat ISIL in Iraq, there was a clear strategy and goal in mind.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper brushed aside questions Wednesday about Canada's legal right to bomb Syria, ridiculing the opposition by saying he wasn't worried about "lawyers from ISIL taking the government of Canada to court."
The federal government will introduce legislation Friday to increase the value of the monthly universal child care benefit, with the first payments hitting bank accounts three months before Canadians are scheduled to go to the polls in a federal election.
Former Saskatchewan premier Roy Romanow, who led a federal inquiry into medicare more than a decade ago, says the public health-care system is deteriorating and close to a "tipping point."
When Saskatchewan's government this week announced plans to renegotiate potash royalties, Potash-Corp share prices dropped five per cent in 24 hours. This is not surprising. Investors know the government is not renegotiating potash royalties in order to reduce them.
After four months of warning of a coming fiscal doomsday, Premier Jim Prentice unveiled his plan Tuesday to wean Alberta off volatile oil and gas royalties: health-care premiums and tax hikes.

Actress Shraddha Kapoor was recently acting in a scene on the set of her movie "Ex Villain" was required to stab a stuntman with a knife. Holding the knife that she believed was a prop knife she stabbed him as they had rehearsed but disaster ensued as it seems that it was not a fake knife but a real one! The stuntman fell to the ground allegedly bleeding and the actress and everyone were stunned at the events taking place.
The actress upon seeing the stuntman bleeding went ballistic and started shouting at the directors who were trying to appease the furious and frightened actress. Interestingly the cameras never stopped rolling and some speculate that this is because the event was a prank on the beautiful actress by MTV Jhand Hogi Sabki, the Indian adaptation of MTV Punk'd.
The knowledge that they were behind the prank has many wondering if the stuntman actually was injured or was he also part of the prank. It seems as if the directors Siddharth Malhotra and Mohit Suri may have been part of the joke because even as she hurled invectives at the two of them they only tried to pacify their star actress.
She seems to have been the only one not aware that it was a prank and from her actions some entertainment insiders have joked that if she shows that much emotion and passion in the movie that it will be an unequivocal success at the box office.
Shraddha Kapoor was recently seen smiling while out and about on a promotional tour for the movie so it seems that all is well and that she was very likely a victim of a successful prank by MTV Jhand Hogi Sabki because if not it is very unlikely she would be doing promotional tours for the film.

The London-based East India Company had a major impact on Asian and British lives for more than two centuries and now a group of volunteer researchers from Tower Hamlets are setting out to uncover the human stories, backed by a £47,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).Brick Lane Circle will engage twelve community volunteers (heritage interpreters / historical fiction writers) to explore East India Company records and objects, discover important information about events, individuals and institutions, and write about human stories behind the Company's operations that linked Britain with Asia from 1600 when the British first arrived until the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny in the British Indian Army, also considered by many to be the first war of independence.

Hashtags Are Officially #Over. So Now What?
PREVIOUSLY: Why #Hashtags Are So Damned Irresistible to Record Companies
Photo by Marco Torres Jennifer Lopez, shown in 2012, hopped on the hashtag bandwagon with 2013's "#liveitup."
This social sphere of readily available media makes it easier for artists to reach their fans on a whole new level, but it also makes those fans able to reach other things with just the click of a button which in turn lessens the modern day music listener's attention span by a pretty big percentage.
The only way Katy Perry's new #smash would benefit from its hashtag would be if her listeners constantly banded together and sent out thousands of tweets about the song to make #smash a trending topic on Twitter, which we all know people besides her diehard KatyCats would not do.

UNESCO Sites in Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia boasts five UNESCO designated sites, several are so close together you can explore them all in a few days. To be recognized as a UNESCO site, these locations have to be universally significant. Nova Scotia is proud to be included in the company of other outstanding places such as the Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The Landscape of Grand Pré
In 2012, The Landscape of Grand Pré in the picturesque Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley region became Canada's 16th UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 13 square-kilometre (5 mi²) site includes acres of tended farmland that pay homage to the dyke system first built by 17th century Acadian settlers on land reclaimed from the sea. The area is also the scenic setting for American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's narrative poem Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie. Learn about the Acadian Deportation at the Grand Pré National Historic Site which is located within the area designated the Landscape of Grand Pré UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Explore this area, bordered by lush farmland and prolific vineyards producing award-winning wines and discover wine tours and tastings, local farmers' markets, and restaurants that provide the delicious opportunity to combine a fascinating cultural and culinary experience.
Old Town Lunenburg
The Old Town Lunenburg UNESCO World Heritage Site weaves its own special spell taking visitors back to the 18th and 19th centuries when this fishing port bristled with tall ships. Vividly coloured historic homes line streets banked sharply up from the harbour which is home to Bluenose II Nova Scotia's famous sailing ambassador. The bustling Lunenburg waterfront is alive with industry, architecture and artisan shops that showcase the character of this historical port. Tour on foot or via horse-drawn carriage throughout the town, chat with local residents, taste some Lunenburg pudding, and learn about lobsters, rum running and tales of adventures on the high seas at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Plan to stop by the blacksmith's shop, now operating as Ironworks Distillery, a micro-distillery where you can sample some fine spirits and rums.
Joggins Fossil Cliffs
On Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy coast, the Joggins Fossil Cliffs have long attracted scientists, visitors and geology enthusiasts from around the world, for over a hundred and fifty years. It was selected as a UNESCO World Heritage site because it's the world's most complete record of life in the Carboniferous era. You can stroll the beach for a glimpse of life on earth 300 million years ago. With over 15kms of coastal cliffs, you can explore the fossil record of life in the "coal age", when lush forest covered Joggins as well as much of the rest of the world. Plants, footprints, insects and the ancestors of the dinosaurs are all represented in fossils exposed by the amazing force of the world's highest tides. The interpretive centre showcases fossils of plant and animal life and offers guided tours.
Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve
The Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve, located on Cape Breton Island, recieved its designation in 2011 and is one of 16 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Canada. Including the complete watershed of the Bras d'Or Lake, a salt-water inland sea, the area is home to many beaches, headlands and numerous ponds and wetlands, making the region a popular kayaking, hiking and sightseeing destination. The area also boasts many examples of sustainable development such as eco-tourism (sailing tours), award-winning woodlots, and even an organic micro-brewery. Home to Mi'kmaq First Nations and descendants of early French, Scottish, and English settlers, the communities throughout the watershed maintain close ties to the language and culture of the early settlers through art, music and storytelling.
Visit the Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve YouTube channel for more information about this unique environment.
Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve
The Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, protecting a spectacular expanse of over 1.5 million hectares of picturesque coastal and inland terrains along with rare wildlife and cultural treasures, offers an exciting range of hands-on activities to fire the imagination and provide stimulating learning opportunities. Led by dedicated and skilled locals, each adventure offers an authentic experience like kayaking age-old native canoe routes, preparing a feast of dulse collected at low tide along the Bay of Fundy, seeing a massive whale breach within metres of your boat, discovering rare petroglyphs in Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site. Visit the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve's YouTube channel to explore these experiences or read more about them here.

Trade for Dempster, not Garza
Wily right-hander more effective and cheaper than his hard-throwing teammate
With the Chicago Cubs in rebuilding mode, Theo Epstein is likely to be a very busy man during this summer's trading season. The addition of the second wild card incentivizes teams that are hanging around on the periphery of the playoff race to keep their rosters intact and try to make a second-half run, so the Cubs president will be one of just a few people with legitimate talent to unload. In Matt Garza, the team has an asset who could probably command more in return than any other pitcher on the market, but when playoff contenders start hunting around the north side of Chicago, they may do better by letting someone else pay the premium for Garza and instead focus on his less heralded but equally effective teammate -- Ryan Dempster.
Dempster might not get the same kind of notoriety as Garza, but when you look at their recent body of work, you can see just how similar they actually are.
Their walk, strikeout, and home run rates are nearly identical over a sample that covers their last three seasons and change. Garza's ERA is slightly lower (3.76 to 3.95) on account of posting a better batting average on balls in play (.281 to .301), but that's a mark that is influenced heavily by a team's defenders, and not surprisingly, a low BABIP isn't something Garza was able to sustain after leaving Tampa Bay, a team that is often among the best in baseball at turning batted balls into outs.
