I love this rug. It is at my sliding glass door to my patio and the last thing you see when you leave the room and the first thing on re-entry. It is beautiful and makes a lovely statement.Read More
beautiful rug
Beautiful small area rug. I use it in a hallway bathroom and it goes beautifully against deep yellow walls. I have received positive feedback from my guest. I'm thinking of getting the larger size for another room. If you like a true red color I highly recommend this rug.Read More

Beautiful rug
The picture of this rug does not do it justice. The color is a true red which I wanted (but don't always get) and the beige/gold lines really make this rug stand out. Very well made and heavy. I may have to buy another in a bigger size!Read More
Lovely bright rug!
Glad we purchased this rug. For those who want to make certain the color is right for you, think bright tomato red and gold. Enjoy!Read More
Really Nice
Nicer than we expected, quality-wise. The color which is described as red is pretty close to the picture as it's not so much a bright red as a very rusty red. (Which is what we actually needed, rather than a true red.) Good price on sale, Excellent choice.Read More

Any assumption that the UK is a fertile ground for the boycott campaign against
Israel was laid to rest on Tuesday as London hosted one of Europe's largest
hi-tech conferences aimed at enhancing the strong connection between the UK and
Israel in innovation.Held in central London, Innovate Israel 2012 was
attended by over 500 business leaders, investors, decision makers and government
representatives.Attending the event, Israel's Ambassador to the UK
Daniel Taub said: "The most powerful response to the boycott, divestment and
sanctions campaign – which seeks to drive a wedge between Britain and Israel –
is to deepen that relationship. Innovate Israel, which is advancing the
tremendous potential for hi-tech partnerships between British and Israeli
companies, does exactly that."It is an opportunity to explore that
potential and discover new ways to work together to promote innovation, growth
and jobs in both countries," he said.The event was organized by UK
Israel Business, a London-based organization helping emerging business and
investment opportunities in the two countries, Israel's Embassy in London and
the Israel Export and Cooperation Institute.In attendance was Israeli
Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Shalom Simhon and British Minister for
Culture, Communications and the Creative Industries Ed Vaizey, who earlier in
the year led a delegation of top executives from the UK's media and creative
industries to Israel.Simhon told The Jerusalem Post that technology and
innovation has no boundaries and that Israel has many ideas on how to expand
economic activity between Israel and the Palestinians."We need to invest
the good energies not the bad energies to develop cooperation between Israel,
Britain and the Palestinians. We speak to many international companies and
encourage them to take part in collaboration between Israel and the
Palestinians. We will be happy to see British companies joining these joint
ventures."Speaking about the conference, Simhon said it "puts on the map
our desire to collaborate and work closer with Britain." He added that new media
is only one area "but you can imagine the other areas in which Israel has much
to offer so we can work closely with Britain." Vaizey paid tribute to the
relationship between Britain and Israel and said there is much for both
countries to do together in the area of investment, research and
development."There is a natural bond between the two countries and the
British government is a great supporter of Israel," the minister
said.With over 34 growth stage Israeli companies and start-ups, the
one-day conference allowed participants to engage, network and uncover
opportunities coming out of Israel."Never before has there been so much
excitement, enthusiasm and desire to bridge the gap between Israel and the UK
and develop deeper, stronger, profitable and long-lasting relationships," said
Marc Worth and Yossi Vardi, co-chairmen of Innovate Israel.According to
the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, bilateral trade between the UK and
Israel increased by almost 38%, from $3.7 billion in 2010 to $5.1 billion in
2011.The UK currently stands as Israel's fourth greatest trading partner
behind the US, China and Germany. In the first third of 2012, bilateral trade
between the two countries was 42% higher than for the same period in
2011.In February 2011 the British government called to "encourage a
stronger partnership between British and Israeli companies in innovation, high
technology and science." Worth and Vardi added: "This is the core of what the
future partnership between the UK and Israel should be, matching the innovation
and technological brilliance of Israel, the "start-up nation", with Britain's
skill and experience in building large successful companies." The event allowed
Israeli start-up companies – interested in joint ventures, development and
access to capital – to showcase their products. Throughout the day, the event
organizers scheduled one-to-one meetings between entrepreneurs and interested

Towards Optimised Retransmission Reservation in Real-Time Wireless TDMA
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Providing real-time guarantees in wireless networks requires the reservation of transmission time not only for transmissions but also for retransmissions. Retransmissions are required to ensure that real-time reliability targets are achieved due to the unreliable nature of the wireless medium. Simplistic approaches such as immediate retransmission over a number of times are wasteful in terms of available transmission time and bandwidth. This paper proposes a resource allocation and retransmission mechanism that takes into account the independence of transmissions to different destinations and the characteristics of the occurrence of burst errors.

Bust of Julius Caesar
... for power. These abuses in the Roman political system saw Rome fall under the control of military strongmen like Marius, Sulla, and eventually the power trio now known as the First Triumvirate which consisted of Julius Caesar, Pompey Magnus, and Crassus. This alliance didn't last, though, and after Crassus perished in battle and Julia (the daughter of Caesar/wife of Pompey) passed away, the two allies became estranged and Civil War followed. Caesar was eventually victorious in ...
Rome, The Eternal City
... away. The thought of waiting for hours in line and with this heat was enough to put anyone off. No large crowds to speak of and very relaxed. We took the option of having dinner as well with drinks included. I highly recommend it. The tour itself was very informative, I love the way Italians speak with their accents ...so cute really!! The Sistine Chapel was a sight to behold ..I truly was in awe and sat quietly and looked at it. No photos allowed in the Sistine Chapel or ...
Gelato, Pizza, Wine and Pasta!
... and we also got free shots of limoncello too! It was a nice way to end our trip. But it wasn't the end without some gelato...We went to a nice gelateria but they would only let you try 1 flavor so I decided I was just gunna pick two new ones and hope for the best. I didn't like this one fruity one so I decided to stop at a new gelato place where I got 3 of my favorite flavors.. mint, chocolate and coffee! After finishing that I definitely felt sick haha.

Next, we walked to the Mouth of Truth, which is a carved marble man-like face that bites your hand off if you tell a lie (featured in the film Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn). It was out the front of Saint Mary in Cosmedin Church, but the line to take a photo was huge, so we just looked around the beautifully mosaicked church instead.

Watch your own life: you do many things only because of the ego. You want to make a big house. You may be perfectly comfortable in your house as it is, but you want to make a big palace. That big palace is not for you, that big palace is for the ego. You may be perfectly comfortable as you are, but you go on accumulating money. That money is not for you; that money is for the ego. How can you rest till you have become the richest man in the world? But what are you going to do by becoming the richest man in the world? You will become more and more miserable, because misery comes out of conflict. Misery is an indication that you are in conflict. So don't throw your responsibility on something else.
People are very rationalizing. If they are miserable they will say, "What can we do? The past lives' karmas are making us miserable." All rubbish! Past life karmas must have made you miserable, but in past lives! Why should they wait up to now? There is no point in waiting. Your present karmas are making you miserable. Throwing them on past lives makes it easy - what can you do? You have to be the way you are. Now nothing can be done. The past cannot be undone - you cannot erase it just by waving your hand. There is no magic trick that can help you to erase your past. It has happened and it has happened forever; now it is going to remain absolute; there is no possibility of changing it. That relieves you of the burden, and you think: "So okay, I have to be miserable because of the past karmas."
You can throw the responsibility on the devil as Christians go on doing. Hindus go on throwing the responsibility on past karmas. Christians go on throwing the responsibility on the devil - he must be creating traps for you. It is not you, it is the devil who goes on trapping you into miseries, and who goes on pulling you down towards hell.
Who is bothered with you? Why should this devil be bothered with you?
Then there are Marxists, Communists, Socialists; they say it is the social structure, the economic system, that makes people miserable. Then there are Freudians, psychoanalysts; they say it is the child and mother relationship. But it is always something else - it is never you. It is never you in the present.
And I would like to tell you: It is you. If you are miserable, you and only you are responsible. Neither the past nor the social structure nor the economic system - nothing is going to help. If you remain you, in any sort of a society, you will remain miserable; in any economic system you will remain miserable; in any world you will remain miserable - if you remain you.
And the first, basic change happens when you start dropping this conflict with existence. That is the only meaning of all the great religions when they emphasize: Drop the ego. They are saying: Drop the conflict. I would like you to remember it more, because "drop the ego" seems too metaphysical. Ego.? Where is the ego? What is the ego? The word seems to be known, you seem to be well acquainted with it, but it seems to be very vague, cannot be grasped. I would like to make it more practical - drop the conflict - because ego is a by-product of your conflicting attitude.
People talk of conquering nature, people talk of conquering this and that. How can you conquer nature? You are part of it. How can the part conquer the whole? See the foolishness of it, the stupidity. You can be with the whole in harmony, or you can be in conflict with the whole - in disharmony. Disharmony results in misery; harmony results in bliss.

Hot newsLove March 28, 2015Russell Crowe: Secretly Married?Hot March 27, 2015Russell Crowe Named Sexiest Actor AliveNews of actor Russell Crowe's death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the March 2015 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his roles in A Beautiful Mind or Gladiator is alive and well.UPDATE 28/03/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more)Russell Crowe death hoax spreads on FacebookRumors of the actor's alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a 'R.I.P. Russell Crowe' Facebook page attracted nearly one million of 'likes'. Those who read the 'About' page were given a believable account of the actor's passing:"At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (March 26, 2015), our beloved actor Russell Crowe passed away. Russell Crowe was born on April 7, 1964 in Wellington. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page."Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 50-year-old actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Russell Crowe's stature would be major news across networks.A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (69%) of respondents think those Russell Crowe death rumors are not funny anymore.Russell Crowe Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actor Is 'Alive And Well'On Friday (March 27) the actor's reps officially confirmed that Russell Crowe is not dead. "He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet," they said.Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved actor.

Painted Strandboard Substrate
Duh. Well, I thought I would ask BEFORE I started....but I couldn't wait. My DH made a box to contain our lawn mower (not enough room in the garage with my junk) out of strandboard which he got from the dumpsters at construction sites. He painted two coats of KILZ inside, outside and edges and I am doing a mosaic on it. I am using thinset and then will grout it. Do you think the strandboard will be a problem? Any thought. Thanks.
I hate to be a bearer of bad news, GARDEN, but strandboard is made up of wood chips and glue. You preparations w/save it for awhile, but eventually the board w/expand in the weather. I bought a 4X8 sheet of the OSB yesterday for an inside art project - making/mosaicing a frame for a watercolor my DGD painted. Your thinset is the proper adhesive for outside. You'll get some time, I imagine, to enjoy your work, but it won't last a long time. I mosaiced a cedar pedestal, using thinset, about four yrs. ago, and it is showing no sign of deterioration, but I wouldn't use anything other than cedar for outside wood projects.
Well, thank you both...! I think I asked the question even tho I knew the answer...just in case I was wrong and hoping against hope that I was wrong. Calamity...great idea to put cement board on it and slowmedown I think you are right. I will have some time with it and then like a rose or an iris it will be gone. Lesson learned, but I have started and will hope it will last long enough to enjoy the result. Great thing is, I have not worked with flooring tile etc. so I am learning a lot. Having fun. Taking lots of advil cuz I guess I am out of shape.....lol. What a surprise. Next time I will make sure I don't put lots of work into a sinking ship, but I appreciate your words, cuz next time I will know (for sure) better. Many thanks.

This year's Andover Town Meeting will include a vote for a new Historic Mill District, a proposal that shares many common attributes with Amesbury's successful downtown makeover project. Join Bob Lavoie, an Amesbury City Councilor and well-known Andover attorney, as he walks us through the story of the transformation of Amesbury's neglected mill district into an exciting North Shore destination. Bob will share how it all started, how momentum built, how Amesbury's two downtown rivers connected the community, and what the Town did to enable the project to go from ideas to action. The discussion will highlight how Amesbury's public-private partnership collaborated to reuse, and not demolish, their historic mills. Visit Amesbury and explore the "Upper Mill Yard" with its restaurants, stores, and housing. Then traverse to the new "Lower Mill Yard" riverfront park, which is currently under construction.
Please join Bob Lavoie as we discuss why this project has been such a success and how we can apply Amesbury's "Lessons Learned" to Andover's plans for the Andover Historic Mill District. For more information about the project, visit http://andoverma.gov/planning/milldistrict/.
