My children love this set. It can be used for either a boy or a girl, especially if you're tired of the pink or baby boy blue colors. The color is exactly what is pictured on Overstock.
I bought this for a vacation rental property & it was just what I wanted. It was very difficult to find neutral bedding for a boy or girl for the twin beds, but this design will work great for either. Very satisfied with my purchase.
We bought bunk beds for our grandchildren when they visit and then I began shopping for bedding. Everything was so expensive and not very cute. Then I found the Dream Set. It's perfect for our purpose. While the sheeting material is thin, it seems very durable. I washed everything before putting it on the beds and it came out looking great. I am very happy that I was able to completely furnish the beds with darling sheets, comforters, and shams for the price of a mediocre set of sheets elsewhere.
This is perfect for my daughters college dorm room. Unique compared to the other dorm room bedding that is out there, which is nice! The price was right, shipping was fast.

NEWPORT NEWS - An alert neighbor helped catch a thief who police say had returned to the scene of his earlier crime.
29-year-old Jonathon Ince was arrested New Year's morning as he tried to leave a home on Sun Haven Court, said policespokesman Lou Thurston.
A neighbor called police after seeing something strange at the home around 6:00 a.m.
'Investigating officers found a broken glass door and saw that the lights were on. As they approached the house, they saw someone moving inside and the lights went off,' he stated.
Ince tried to leave through a back door, but after seeing an officer, he ran to the front door and was stopped near the staircase, Thurston added.
He had property that had been reported stolen from a car at the home between December 3 and 5.
Ince, who lives in Newport News, was charged with one count each of burglary, grand larceny, possession of stolen property, possession of burglary tools (all felonies) and misdemeanor damage to property.
Police say Ince worked as a security guard in Va. Beach.

Just the facts
There he goes again. Paul Burns, director of VPIRG, recently implied that industrial wind turbines can replace base load power plants. He and Chris (dirty coal) Kilian, frontman for the Conservation Law Foundation, are routinely disingenuous in their assertions about wind.
Nowhere on this planet has wind eliminated nuclear or fossil power plants. Yet they repeat the implication constantly in much the same way that corporations sell products or right-wing focus groups disinform.
With the entry of a number of state senators and Vermont Electric Co-op into the discussion, one would expect a more reasoned discussion based on factual data. For the Legislature to get it right, it need only ask one question of the corporate wind advocates, Where is your evidence? They have none. VPIRG forgot to do the research.
This is their typical argument: Global warming is at hand; carbon dioxide from human activity is the culprit; we must decrease carbon dioxide; therefore we must invest billions in corporate wind energy.
While the premises are supported by science, the conclusion of that argument requires a leap of faith. There simply are no conclusive, measured data that support that claim. CLFs expert testimony for the Lowell Public Service Board hearings used that argument with no data, none, nothing. And the Public Service Board swallowed it whole. Crucial scientific discovery was reduced to philosophical (political) posturing.
This conversation is not a question on global warming, it is a question of the efficacy of wind turbines in reducing carbon dioxide. The advocates strive to distract the public with anxiety and fear, while the realists are suggesting a rational, local approach. For instance, using our scarce resources to insulate Vermont homes instead of gifting foreign-owned wind corporations would not only be more effective at reducing carbon but would produce jobs and retain capital and revenue in the state economy. It doesnt get any simpler.
Wind advocates treat this discussion as if it were religion and we, the blasphemers. Instead of producing evidence, Burns, Shumlin, et al. resort to vilifying the blasphemers as NIMBYs, zealots, cavemen, woodchucks, losers.
If we allow them to direct the debate with invective, we will equal the North Carolina Legislature in ignorance when it tried to legislate global warming out of existence. How about sticking with reality, boys? Im suggesting a new mantra for the Legislature, Just the facts, please.

I love this ring. I got this one because I really wanted an eternity band but I'm about to go thru lap band surgery and with the weight loss I wouldn't be able to size it. This one I can. I ordered a size 9, but I wear a 9.5, but this ring fit fine. I guess that's because the band is thin. The ring is not straight. And the one thing that really threw me was that the diamond one off from the top has a huge flaw in it that makes it looks like a piece of pepper stuck in it. I would have hopped they would put the lower quality diamonds on the sides and not right on top. The diamonds are not all set level to each other also. This is a beautiful but I guess I'm paying for what I get.
I was reluctant to order a diamond ring sight unseen, but am thrilled with my purchase and my overall experience with Overstock. After much deliberation (and online chats with Overstock agents) I chose this ring, even though it only had two reviews compared to similar products with many more reviews, and waited patiently for it to arrive. It arrived early in very discreet and safe packaging, and was truly stunning, but unfortunately I had selected the wrong size. Though disappointed, I knew I had to send it back. I got all my instructions and requested the correct size via chat and reluctantly sent it on its way. (I was nervous about discussing and transacting on a pricy purchase solely online - the first time doing so for me, but everything was in order). The correct version came back to me a day earlier than expected, and I wore it today for the first time. I received compliments about how beautiful it was. It is bright and sparkly, looks very elegant and looks beautiful next to my other rings. The stones are clear and even, and it is exactly as advertized and pictured. I am tempted to order another one already since the value is fantastic! The 1ct size is large enough to wear on its own, but the band is thin enough that you can wear it as a wedding or anniversary ring or stackable option with others. Bottom line - I am very happy with my beautiful purchase, and will definitely order fine jewellery from Overstock again. Thank you for a great experience.
This beautiful 15 diamond wedding band is gorgeous and I loved it from the moment I saw it. I wear the wedding band without an engagement ring and it is big enough that it can stand on its own. It was well worth the $ and I would happily buy it again.
this ring is perfect for what I want
The ring was uncomfortable to wear. Hurt between my fingers. Diamonds were white but cloudy not sparkly.
The ring was nice and she loved it. But I didn't like the fact that when I got the ring in the mail it was filthy and I had to take it to have it cleaned. If I buy something NEW, I expect it to look and shine like new. Not look like someone else had worn it.
First of all Overstock Customer Service is Awesome! I had a little trouble with the delivery, but Overstock took care of the situation. The ring sparkles so beautifully. I got lots of compliments from my co-workers. At first I thought it would be too bulky for my small hands. It fit perfectly. This ring complemented my 5/8 pear e-ring just wonderfully. I also got my e-ring from Overstock too! I wear a 5 1/2 ring size and this fit to the size. It actually stopped my e-ring from twisting. This ring enhanced my e-ring, with so much bling, I have to keep my nails done for this one ladies. Its really breathtaking. I love my new ring. Thank you Overstock!

The Oktoberfest gets worse every year, people from munich are the biggest Saupreißn anyways, but it just gets worse - more arrogant, funky people, destroying the original view on Münchner - you can see this on the musical "hits" Michael mentioned, none of them really traditional bavarian like "A toter Fisch im Wasser" for example.
Most munichs I know dont go the the Oktoberfest anymore because they dont feel at home, it was much better 10-15 years ago. Now its some kind of multi-international Springbreak or something, if you really want to get to know the original bavarian Fest tradition go the some other smaller "Bierfest" in the wide area around munich. (Not the Rosenheimer Herbstfest, each year it gets more like the Oktoberfest, but not as bad yet).
Not to speak of the cost explosion, wth?

- How to Read a Study Record
Though anti-HIV drugs can dramatically improve the health of people with HIV, some people taking these drugs develop serious long term effects in their metabolism. These effects include problems with bones, increased levels of blood sugar and lipids, and changes in body fat distribution. The purpose of this study is to see how many young women are experiencing these problems and how severe the problems are. This kind of study is the first step in determining how best to treat these problems.

Official Title: | Prevalence of Morphologic and Metabolic Abnormalities in HIV Infected and Uninfected Young Women |

HIV positive, on a non-PI, non-NNRTI
HIV positive, currently on a non-PI, non-NNRTI containing regimen for at least 3 months. Must NEVER have received a total of more than SIX months of PI- and/or NNRTI- containing regimen and at least ONE year must have passed since receipt of last PI- and/or NNRTI-containing regimen.
Detailed Description:
Patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens develop potentially deleterious metabolic effects, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, osteopenia and osteoporosis, and hyperlactatemia. Changes in body fat distribution and bone metabolism are also documented. There is considerable evidence that protease inhibitors (PI) can induce insulin resistance and increase triglyceride and cholesterol levels. It is now also clear that both metabolic changes and fat distribution abnormalities occur in PI-naive patients treated with nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). In addition to class specific effects, there is emerging evidence that there are differences within each class of drug in the nature and magnitude of metabolic effects. This study will examine the metabolic effects of HAART in young women.
Adolescent women aged 12 through 24 years will be recruited into each of 5 treatment strata: Stratum 1 - HIV uninfected; Stratum 2 - HIV infected but never had HAART; Stratum 3 - HIV infected on NNRTI regimen for 3 or more months and less than 2 weeks of PI therapy; Stratum 4 - HIV infected on PI regimen for 3 or more months and less than 2 weeks of NNRTI therapy; and Stratum 5 - HIV infected on NRTI-only regimen for 3 or more months and less than 2 weeks of PI or NNRTI therapy. Participants in the study will have one study visit conducted over 1 or 2 days. The study visit will include survey questionnaires, DEXA scanning, anthropometric measurements, and blood tests examining lactate, glucose, and lipid metabolism.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 12 Years to 24 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Female |

Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
A total of up to 300 subjects may be enrolled in the study. The number of subjects in each study group will be as follow: 50 HIV negative subjects; 100 HIV positive subjects with no exposure to ART; and three groups of up to 50 HIV positive subjects each with different ART exposure histories.

Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America
The Swan Corporation is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with manufacturing facilities in Centralia, Illinois.
We proudly manufacture all products made from these material systems in the USA.

Calm reigns after a tough start for Egypt
The Egyptian team closed successfuly in the last two sets in the match against Algeria.
Jetlag was a big issue on first match after struggling against Korea, however his team had enough time to rest and excecuted a game plan that succeeded against their North African rivals.
Ellakany Mohamed, coach of Egypt:
"We played more relaxed in comparison with the match against Korea and also kept pressure Algeria's receivers."
Sidi Mohammed Ghomari, coach of Algeria:
"We had a good first set but failed in our reception and Egypt was very efficient with the service, also played with a good balance in attack and defense."
Salem Walid Ait, captain of Algeria:
"We were very efficient on the first set, but after that we lost concentration."
Ahmed Saleh, captain of Egypt:
"The first set was difficult for us. I want to congratulate Algeria for a good match, despite they didn't have luck played very well."

Incredibly cheesy flash vid. Why does ASUS do such a thing and goes to bed with MS? I think I have to vote with my wallet again and tell ASUS about that.
Let's not forget that Asus does not need Linux. Linux needs Asus. Like every good company, they place their own well being above the few geeks using Linux. Linux has to give companies an incentive to support it, NOT the other way around. Asus is doing just fine. Linux isn't.
Whose wallet do you they think they care about? Your 1 wallet or the other 90+ people's wallet that in a group of 100.I think I have to vote with my wallet again and tell ASUS about that.
Microsoft sponsors this ridiculous shit all the time. Anyone who actually fallows this is a stupid consumer to begin with. Look at the target audience for example. This wont be beneficial for microsoft at all. Asus is getting free money. I guess they figured everyone was buying windows netbooks anyway. I cant blame them when these netbook manufactures put retarded distributions on them.
Look at them type on the eeepc in the vid. I could do a better job smashing my face on it. Anyone who knows what a "linux" is would at least have the typing ability of a 3rd grader. This,, for the 2 seconds of typing in the whole video. Netbooks and the eeepc especially are simply not made for anyone over the 3rd grade because any grown person cant use proper hand positioning due to the compact size.
This vid tells me 1 thing. The eee pc with windows xp.
For people who dont know how to type.
This is sad I agree, but to be honest: who is surprised? We already know that Microsoft offers incentives to OEMs. This is just a more in-your-face example of that.
On a brighter note, I think it's amazing that microsoft has felt this site was even necessary. I mean, considering linux has an infinitesimal marketing clout compared to microsoft (have you ever seen a Xandros ad?), to have them set up a PR campaign just to fight linux means that someone at redmond sees a threat. And that's a pretty amazing achievement in the face of the microsoft monopoly.
The chick is hot thought.
You'd think that Asus's decision to ever use Linux in the first place was a calculated one. Probably they did focus groups and the people not willing to buy a linux netbook because it's unfamiliar etc were outweighed by all the people who were much more likely to buy a linux netbook simple because it would be cheaper.
So somebody just needs to make the argument to Asus that findings like that (findings that have an impact on Asus's bottom line) are not to be thrown out the window just because the CEO played a round of golf with some Microsoft guy (or whatever).

Mild Support Ankle Braces
Mild support ankle braces are great for giving that little bit of extra support or warmth. Some types of mild support ankle braces include ankle sleeves and ankle wraps. They are usually made of materials such as elastic, which are stretchy and flexible, to provide compression and stabilization to the ankle joint. Many mild support ankle braces come with metal supports that stabilize both sides of the ankle. They are sewn in to the fabric so that the ankle brace is comfortable and soft. These types of ankle braces are great for non-contact sports and everyday activities. You'll often see them used in activities such as cheer and dance and during daily walks. They may also benefit those healing from minor ankle sprains by providing gentle pressure around the ankle joint, plus they keep the area warm to promote healing. (Minor ankle sprains typically mean that the joint is just slightly sore, but the patient can still walk and use the foot.) Check out the mild support ankle braces recommended by our brace coaches. Here are some of our bestsellers:
- Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace - 60 degree angle of support provides protection for your ankle at its weakest point
- Aircast Airheel Ankle Brace - one of our best selling ankle braces
- DonJoy Deluxe Elastic Ankle Support - ankle sleeve that provides compression and support

The art of observing a man or woman's entry into a toilet stall followed by silence indicating that they expect said person to leave. Only, one pretends to leave by opening and closing the door yet remain inside allowing the subject a false sense of privacy. Upon forceful evacuation of the bowels and much flatulence said observer involuntarily commences hysterical laughter thusly devastating any sense of dignity said subject had before entering the stall followed by immediate egress with a great sense of joy at another's expense.

Looking for Car Speakers?
Start shoppingCar speakers: What's going to fit my car?
We'll help you find and install the right speakers
It's easy to find what fits
We put our extensive research right at your fingertips with our Outfit My Car tool. Just enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and you'll see which speakers fit in your vehicle's speaker locations.
Don't be confused if you look up your vehicle and find multiple speaker sizes listed for a speaker location. Crutchfield supplies free speaker mounting brackets for many vehicles to allow different sizes of speakers to be used in a single location. That way, you'll have more speakers to choose from.
If you have questions about what fits, or prefer to talk speaker fit with one of our friendly Advisors, you can contact us by phone (1.888.955.6000), email, or chat seven days a week. We'll be happy to help you find the right speakers.
Crutchfield MasterSheet installation instructions
You get much more than a speaker when you buy from Crutchfield
When you purchase your new speakers from Crutchfield, you'll get our exclusive step-by-step MasterSheet™ instructions for your vehicle (available for most vehicles). These free instructions help everyone from first-timers to seasoned installers get the job done right. They even tell you which tools you'll need.
For most vehicles, we include free wiring harnesses that let you plug your speakers into your factory wiring. The harnesses make it easy to re-install the factory speakers when you sell or trade your vehicle.
We also include speaker brackets (if needed) so that you'll have everything you need for a successful installation. By doing it yourself, you'll save money and be able to take pride in a job well done.
So enter your vehicle information, and we'll show you which speakers will fit the factory locations, and let you know about any tricky details.

at some of these I baulked,
for example, the won where they want courts to make people attend their meetings, tradition 11?
thats just one example for me. I don't think it matters what other issues I thought there were. Its not for me and I wouldn't encourage others. But if others choose it, then of course I wish them well in their recovery.

Will Congress Cap Charitable Deductions?
"The non-profit sector hasn't really woken up yet to what this will to do charitable deductions."
-- Former White House budget chief Peter Orszag at an event last Friday
Consider this your wake up call.
Suddenly, opinion leaders across the political spectrum (like Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) and the Washington Post Editorial Board) have lined up behind Mitt Romney's proposal for a cap on itemized deductions -- as low as $17,000 for all taxpayers.
The effect on the charitable giving could be devastating. The average taxpayer who itemized in 2010 claimed $22,233 in deductions for mortgage interest and state, local and property taxes alone, and they won't stop paying their taxes and mortgage just because deductions are capped. That leaves little tax incentive for charitable giving and certainly not for gifts on the scale of land or easements. See statistics for your state, a United Way poll showing that 79% of Americans oppose limiting the deduction, and other studies on the impact of reduced tax incentives for charitable giving.
Some in Congress see such a cap as a source for as much as $1.3 trillion in new revenue that could help avert the "fiscal cliff." We have just weeks to make sure our Senators and Representatives understand its impact on the charities of their districts. With your help, we can demonstrate how incentives for charitable giving strengthen communities and non-profit organizations.
We've partnered to develop five ways you can help: [Click here for updated action items]
- Make this personal for your senators and representative -- National statistics and talking points simply can't match the impact of constituent organizations like yours calling to convey stories about the real impact of a dramatic decline in charitable gifts. You can reach any office by calling: 202-224-3121. The Land Trust Alliance and Independent Sector have both prepared talking points, but the most important points are your hometown stories.
--> After you make the call, urge your board, supporters, and partner organizations in your community to do the same. - Send a letter -- Reaching out by phone or in-person is always the most effective way to communicate with your lawmakers, but Independent Sector has also created an easy letter-writing tool. Please take time to customize; this is all about your organization, and its survival is quite literally at risk.
- Sign a group letter -- Add your organization to this group letter by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. UPDATE: View the final signers, as listed in Politico on December 10.
- Submit an Op-Ed -- Keep the pressure on by teaming up with another charity to submit a joint Op-Ed to the newspaper that covers your region. Explain how a cap on charitable deductions will affect your community. Click here for a sample.
- Come to Washington -- The Charitable Giving Coalition is still seeking participants for their Protect Giving DC Days on December 4-5. They're most interested in participants from the West. Learn more. UPDATE: This event is now full -- make time to meet your legislators when they're home for the weekend.
We will be working with Independent Sector and the Charitable Giving Coalition on this issue, and educating our friends in the Congress and in the Administration. Do let us know what you hear.
We are continuing our year-end sprint for conservation funding and incentives, but in this week of giving thanks, we hope you'll join us in taking a stand for the charitable deduction that sustains us all.
Happy Thanksgiving!

SBCH Receives Second Waste Reduction Award (WRAP)
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has been named a winner -- for the second year in a row -- of the Waste Reduction Awards Program, given by the state's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
Cottage Health System has achieved success in its goals to reduce, reuse, and recycle in three main areas: composting, surgical devices reprocessing, and buying food from the local Farmers Market. The hospital system has worked closely with the City of Santa Barbara to create a successful composting process -- from the collection of food waste at the hospital, all the way to finding local end-users for the final compost. The hospital system also has chosen vendors who are committed to earth-friendly practices: it works with Ascent to reprocess single-use surgical devices, and many of the fresh fruit and vegetables served and sold at its hospitals come from local growers involved with growers who are part of the local Farmers Market. In 2010, Cottage Health System recycled more than 1.05 million pounds of waste. This recycling total included construction and demolition waste, comingled items, composting, and surgical devices reprocessing. Cottage Health System estimates that its recycling efforts have amounted to a total savings of close to $136,000 last year.
Years Awarded: 2011, 2010
CalRecycle Announces 2011 Waste Reduction Award Winners: California organizations recognized for green business practices
SACRAMENTO -- The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) today announced recipients of this year's waste reduction awards. Interest in the 2011 program was high, with 280 winners recognized through the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) for their environmentally friendly business strategies.
"This year's WRAP winners are evidence that businesses and organizations of all sizes are achieving significant waste reduction and recycling goals, all while helping protect the environment and preserve our natural resources," CalRecycle Director Caroll Mortensen said. "In 2011 we have 46 first-time winners, and many organizations that have come back year after year with new and stronger waste prevention programs."
In total, the winning entries reported diverting more than 2.3 million tons of material from landfills and reported more than $200 million in cost savings. Single sites represented 225 of the winning entries, while 55 were for businesses with multiple locations.
Winners ranged in size from mom-and-pop stores with fewer than 10 employees to multi-million dollar corporations with thousands of staff. Examples of WRAP winners include Egg Plantation Restaurant in Santa Clarita, which did its part by diverting 20,000 pounds of food waste from landfills in 2010 with an estimated disposal savings of $2,000, while 506 Safeway and Vons grocery stores diverted 375 million pounds of material to compost with an approximate $46 million in cost savings.
Every entry was evaluated individually, based on reported waste prevention, recycling, composting, procurement, and educational activities in calendar year 2010. Those who applied but were ineligible for an award receive assistance to improve green practices, such as ways to improve source reduction. WRAP 2011 honorees will receive certificates, window decals, and a special logo to notify customers of their achievement.
No matter the size of a company or type of business, reducing waste has a significant impact on overall waste diversion, which in 2010 was approximately 65 percent statewide. While this diversion level is an outstanding achievement, California still threw away more than 30 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2010–4.5 pounds of trash per person, per day--and nearly 67 percent of this waste came from the commercial sector.
Commercial recycling regulations are currently under development by CalRecycle to assist businesses in implementing on-site recycling programs.
Because many businesses will now be mandated to implement recycling programs, in the coming year CalRecycle has plans to re-evaluate its approach to recognizing businesses for exemplary waste reduction and recycled product procurement efforts.
Additionally, the department is currently working to develop strategies and recommendations to help meet the state's new goal of diverting 75 percent of solid waste from landfills by 2020.
Recycling plays an important role in the battle against climate change by reducing the amount of waste material that decomposes in landfills and generates methane, a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Turning old items into new value-added products also saves energy and resources.
WRAP has been recognizing business waste reduction efforts in California since 1993. View 2011 WRAP winner profiles on the CalRecycle website.
CalRecycle is the state's leading authority on recycling, waste reduction, and product reuse. CalRecycle plays an important role in the stewardship of California's vast resources and promotes innovation in technology to encourage economic and environmental sustainability.

So far, the compile instructions...heh...they're convoluted. I've been having problems with making it come together. It's no small wonder that you've had problems getting it to come together for you. Couple this with it using RakNet and you've got...issues.
While RakNet's good, unless you're doing this totally for freebies, you owe money (which is yet another change in his mind on how he's doing things- about the fifth so far since I've known about the lib...). It's NOT at all FOSS and unless you're willing to take on his licensing, while the environment might be good, this issue alone mars it.
