The Harmonization of Legal Warranties in European Sales Law: An Economic AnalysisFrancesco ParisiUniversity of Minnesota - Law School; University of Bologna American Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 52, No. 2, Spring 2004 George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 01-20 Abstract: EC Directive 1999/44 represents a sizeable step towards the harmonization of European law of warranties in consumer sales. In this article, I consider the goal of harmonization of European sales and warranties law from an economic perspective and subsequently examine some of the main provisions of the Directive in light of current economic theories of consumer protection. I begin with an analysis of conventional and legal warranties, which the law and economics literature considers as promises of the seller to assume specific responsibilities in case the quality or the performance of the purchased item does not conform to the specifications and contractual expectations of the buyer. From an economic point of view, there are three main functions of conventional and legal warranties: (a) insurance; (b) signaling; and (c) incentive functions. In such context, the choice of optimal level and duration of a warranty depends on (a) the risk propensities of the parties; (b) the informational asymmetries between the parties; and (c) the determinants of the probability of a product's lack of conformity or breakdown. The analysis reveals that different optimal levels of warranty may be chosen in real life cases to create the optimal balance of risk allocation and parties' incentives. I consider the results of the economic model in the various scenarios and evaluate the consistency of the unified solution adopted by the European Directive.

I'm a Developer.
In my professional life I work with whatever tools are needed for the job. In the past that has included html/css/javascript, php, c, objective c, as3/flex, perl, python, and (we're going way back, now) coldfusion.
Personally, I play with whatever looks interesting at the time, including lua, ruby, and game development frameworks like moai, corona and unity.
Most recently, over the past two years, I gleefully lept into a rigorous trial by fire, taking javascript and the html dom to places that I didn't know were possible.

Heaven Sent!
I love these pants so much that I am considering buying a second pair. They are wonderful. A few years ago, I purchased a pair of pants from another retailer, and I felt that those were the best pair of dress pants that I have ever worn. I have changed my mind. The Lexie fit is very flattering for my figure, however these pants are wonderfully constructed. I have a short torso, small waist, wide hips, round bottom, and full thighs. These pants make me look long and lean. These pants also have elastane instead of spandex. Elastane stretches less, which allows these to look more polished and structured.
Thank you Limited. Make more colors please.
Happy Shopping!

Pants WAY too big, tabs = not helpful
I ordered a size 6, but there was no way they fit. They were way too big and practically fell off of me. The tabs were not helpful.
December 6, 2012
Great Fit for Curves
Cassidy has been a staple of my wardrobe for years, but I added these after discovering that they flattered my butt and thicker thighs. I did find I wear a size smaller in Lexie, than I do in the Cassidy Classic Flare. Like the other standard Limited black items, these work with my other black suiting. I also love that these have belt loops.

Kenseth blasts NASCAR penalties
Engine violations cost Kenseth 50 points
"I think the penalties are grossly unfair," Kenseth told reporters Thursday at Richmond International Raceway. "It's borderline shameful."
NASCAR inspectors at the sanctioning body's research and development center found an unapproved connecting rod in the engine of the winning No. 20 Toyota car sponsored by Joe Gibbs Racing.
In sanctions issued Wednesday, Kenseth was docked of 50 points in the season-long points race for the Sprint Cup, lost his pole-position award at Kansas and bonus points for winning the STP 400 if he qualifies for the 10-race championship playoff at the end of the season.
Also, crew chief Jason Ratcliff was suspended for six races and fined $200,000 for the infraction. Gibbs was hit with a 50-point penalty in the owner standings; his license was also suspended for six weeks, leaving him ineligible to accrue owner points during that span. Gibbs plans to appeal.
Ratcliff also weighed in on Sirius/XM Radio. While he understood his responsibility for the penalty, he thought they were "quite surprising," and "quite shocking" in their severity.
"I respect their stance on it, and they've got to have a go-to guy -- and that go-to guy is the crew chief," Jason Ratcliff told Sirius Wednesday night. "We raise our hand and say, 'I'm responsible for this race car from the time we get to the racetrack to the time we get through post-race inspection.' Now, the reality of it is ... there's no way one individual could put his finger on every part and piece."
Ratcliff said he didn't think the 50-point penalty would affect the team's Chase chances, even though Kenseth fell out of the top 10.
"Fifty points is something I feel strongly we can overcome," Ratcliff said. "I think we'll continue to go out each week and be successful. In a few weeks, it'll be a thing of the past and be right back where we belong."

KatieBlehh.It fries your hair. Like one pass through and your ends are dead, and you have to go through like 3 times minimum. My hair gets curly again after an hour and it frizzes and knots soo fast. Don't reccomend it. On the plus side the packaging (heat proof pad) is pretty good.posted Dec 30, 2009Link to this post
MandyPAEhhh.. ?i got this straightener like 3 weeks ago. It work okay. Not the best one. It heats up really high but it doesnt give my hair tht ceramic result like i want. It also pulls my hair. Overall, its not the best one in maket. X_xposted Jul 31, 2009Link to this post
DawnSo SoI loved this straightener at first, but after about 7 months it wouldnt stay on. Im not looking to buy a new, different one. Kinda a waste of money but it was great while it lasted.posted Jul 12, 2009Link to this post
Ms.kennyCANADAMeh.well I strighten my hair alot, and when it was time for me to buy a new strightener i decided not to spend to much, so i bought this one.It stopped turning on after about 8 months?i was soo disapointed even the heat quality went down sooo much each week.would recommend spending more money and getting a SUDU.posted May 13, 2009Link to this post
JaquelineBakersfield, CaHairCurly HairNot Worth ItI have thick curly hair and when I flat iron my hair i have to go through it another 4 times, and u get splid ends aesily!!!! If your SMART DONT BUY IT!!!posted May 11, 2009Link to this post
Nathalie RoyBroke After One YearDont worth to spend your money on it. Need to past a lot of time on your hair to get a nice look, which dammage the hair.It broke after only 1 year ( and i use it once or twice a week only)posted Mar 8, 2009Link to this post
AmyVAJust Fine For The JobIve had this iron for nearly a year and its been fabulous to me. It really does heat up in less than 30 seconds. No lie. Its still going strong and I use it everyday too. It takes a few drags to get your hair straight and then later the ends might flip under slightly. That gets annoying. The white paint on the outside chips terribly, but thats not important for anything. What really is cool is that the ceramic plate paint NEVER chips off like normal straighteners.Another plus is that its so light and thin. Overall, this thing rocks for the money. Get it, and you wont be sorry.posted Feb 18, 2009Link to this post

NicoleFantastic!I have tried several different brands of flat irons over the years and have to say that this model is the best Ive used. My hair is thick and very course. This straightener is very thin which I think makes it easier to grip your hair. I have not had any problems with it snagging or my hair smelling bad. Any flat iron is going to work better and your results last longer when you use a heat protective spray. Ive owned it for over 2 years now and have not had one problem.posted Jan 24, 2009Link to this post

grass and native drought tolerant plants
My husband has always likes the grasses so next year we will start a big garden in the front yard to house some. My goal is to make this a drought tolerant bed for the most part. That is a globe willow on the one end. The dog house is covering well equipment. We are thinking a hollow rock over the equipment. Well we got the false rock for the well head and the wildflowers planted last year are looking good. I have 5 pampass grasses planted 3 white and two pink. I have started laying out paths and I have a BIG sandstone rock picked out of the back edge of the bed. We are starting to gather rock for the paths and the edges. Haven't really done anything to the east end where the tree is because of the shade. It is just not speaking to me yet....

NOAA details plans to update fleet
Thursday - 10/23/2008, 12:56pm EDT
NOAA is making changes as it moves into the 21st century.
In a press release on Thursday, officials said they are going to modernize marine operations by replacing nine research ships and refurbishing a tenth in the next 15 years.
NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations looked at the 19 ships currently in the fleet and determined that 10 would reach the end of their service lives during the next 15 years.
The new plan will systematically replace or upgrade the fleet.
The fleet supports a wide range of marine activities, including fisheries and coastal research, nautical charting, and long-range ocean and climate studies.

Beal Edlinger 10.2 mm
Poor "sheet slippage." I've been through maybe a dozen ropes in my past. This is the worst rope I've ever had. On my second day out with this rope, we took two small falls (fall factor < 0.1). I got more than an inch of "sheet slippage". I've seen "sheet slippage" before, but not before at least one year of weekly usage. I'll never get a Beal rope again. If "sheet slippage" is highly variable, at least stay away from the "batch number" M02R157111 (listed on the tag attached to the rope). Full review
Beal Joker 9.1 mm
Light is right. A very versatile rope. Recently I lost 30 or so pounds, so you may ask, "Why do you care what your rope weighs? Now you can carry more stuff easier." The answer is, "Because I can." Would Mallory have worn hobnailed boots and wool if he had been able to wear fleece and nylon? Of course not, light is right. My main workhorse climbing rope is a 10.2mm monster that is fantastic till I need to carry it. I saw that Beal was making a thin rope that works in single, half or twin… Full review
Mammut Infinity 9.5 mm
An excellent rope for both sport climbing and trad. I bought a 70 m, bi-color (color change at midpoint) for use in El Potrero Chico. The length and color scheme facilitated two combining 100' pitches and efficient rappels off long sport routes. The 9.5 mm diameter is a reasonable compromise of weight and beefiness. The rope handles smoothly without feeling slick. I also used it this fall leading trad in the Gunks. No complaints, and the 70 m length allowed us to sometimes combine what was normally… Full review
New England Ropes / Maxim KM III 3/8"
As a person who deals with climbing ropes on a near-daily basis, I find New England Ropes to be the best on the market. The Maxim KM III is an example of a quality, static rope and is my choice in situations that do not warrant a dynamic rope. I have been using New England's dynamic and static ropes for nearly 13 years on the Adventure Challenge Courses I manage. I think they are the best ropes in the industry. I've gone through dozens of ropes and belayed thousands of climbers. I've never had a… Full review
BlueWater Ropes 9.7mm Lightning Pro
Feeds great. This rope is a great size for a thinner workhorse option. I use this rope as my go-to option if I can only take one rope with me to the crag. The Lightning Pro feeds great on belay, clips smoothly, and the color definitely pops in pics too, which is a bonus. I have taken some whippers on this rope, and it is elastic enough to give me a soft catch, but durable enough to withstand all the route projecting I use it on. I climb primarily sport routes in dry climates, and I haven't tested… Full review
Mammut Genesis 8.5
Fantastic, lightweight and sturdy double ropes. Unlike others I have seen, these don't tangle or get "ringlets" and after 6 years they're not fuzzy. Very smooth through the belay device, these ropes are great for rappelling and easy retrieval as well as good handling while belaying. Fantastic, lightweight and sturdy double ropes.

BlueWater Ropes Pull Down Cord
BlueWater's reputation for quality static lines is maintained with this product. It works as expected and is a good value. This was purchased as a second line for canyoneering. It is light, has a good hand for a static line, and surprisingly unlikely to tangle. It worked flawlessly during an exploratory trip to the Grand Canyon. I am considering buying a second one which I would cut into two equal lengths (to speed up transition time on smaller drops and ascents). Full review
Sterling Rope Fusion Ion2 9.4mm
Amazing handling, great for use in the Grigri 2, nicely cushioned falls, and light as can be. I would definitely recommend this rope. Perfect for sport and trad leads. So lightweight — even in the 70m with dry treatment! I also got the bi-weave which makes finding the middle actually possible — visibilty can save lives and help you avoid sticky situations. I would also recommend the Dry treatment. It extends the longevity of your rope. Of course, 70 meter length for versatility. I've used this… Full review

Nurtured by the warmth of the Gulf Stream, the dramatic landscapes of Argyll & The Isles are home to a number of gardens and parks where both native and exotic plants thrive.
Many of the gardens are also part of historic estates, meaning you can soak up the beauty and tranquility of the region's glorious gardens while discovering its dramatic history and heritage.
In a magnificent mountainside setting on the Cowal Peninsula lies Benmore Botanic Gardens, an enchanting area steeped in history and surrounded by dramatic scenery. Benmore's 120 acres boast over 300 species of rhododendron, Bhutanese and Chilean plantings, and a spectacular avenue of giant redwoods.
Spend a morning in the colourful Ardmaddy Castle Garden, near Oban, where you can admire vibrant rhododendrons and serene water gardens.
Mid Argyll is also famed for its beautiful gardens. Kilmory Woodland Park, set in the grounds of Kilmory Castle, is a wonderful location to begin exploring with a network of paths leading through the trees to a loch-side picnic area, bird hide, and archaeological interest points. Take in the stunning views across the surrounding landscape with its exotic shrubs, rare trees and blooming rhododendrons.
Crarae Garden is another favourite that is centred around the Crarae Burn with water cascading through a rocky gorge. With conifers towering above woody plants and shrubs, and bridges spanning the burn, it can almost feel as though you have stepped into a Himalayan valley.
Or why not hop aboard a ferry to a romantic island retreat? Achamore Gardens, situated on the Isle of Gigha, are blazing with colour and offer a tranquil haven where you can stroll through natural woodlands, see rare plants and admire rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias.
Meanwhile, on the Isle of Bute you'll find one of Europe's finest estates. Incorporating 300 acres of vibrant gardens, wilderness and woodland, Mount Stuart's dramatic gardens have been nurtured and enhanced over time. The Rock Garden, designed by the celebrated English landscape gardener Thomas Mawson, is a real highlight.

Gordon can't play 99% of games the next 2 season, win MVP next year and throne will still not be satisfied. It's no use in wasting the time.

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Gordon can't play 99% of games the next 2 season, win MVP next year and throne will still not be satisfied. It's no use in wasting the time.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
It'd be a good start. But he's gotta cure world hunger and perfect a non-polluting fuel source then.
The Hornets couldn't predict the Suns would be slimeballs and offer him a max. They believed Gordon is worth a max if they had to pay it, but were still hoping for a better deal. You act like he can just trade him right away and your not realizing the Suns ruined that chance. If this was 2k then sure everything you are saying is possible. Your basing this off of what Presti did with Harden who was probably the most moveable player in the NBA. Dell had absolutely no choice. We did offer Gordon a contract if you don't remember. He had the option to sign it or play another year and leave us with nothing. He chose the better thing for himself and signed the Suns offer knowing the Hornets would match. Dell did exactly what he should have and offered him what he felt was right. Gordon did exactly what he should have and forced the Hornets to match. You sit here and act like we had so many options to just dump Gordon to another team. We just traded our franchise player away for Gordon so we were tied to him a lot more then other teams. Dell had no choice except maybe your little made up 2k trades that happen instantly when you press ok. Please tell me what he should have done except saying he did a horrible job or this or that. I want to know what the better solution was. We would have gotten him for exactly what Dell offered if it wasn't for the Suns stepping in. Then we could have traded him to the Suns or whoever else wanted him. Do you ever think that maybe they actually wanted Gordon? Maybe they actually believe he is the player to get them to the next level with the right pieces around him? He had a nagging injury that i'm sure the Hornets know a little more about then you. When Gordon takes us to the playoffs next year and turns us into a different team when he comes back is Dell still the idiot? By the way let me know your better solution!? I say trade Gordon before the draft for the 2nd pick and take Drummond!
How do you figure? Do you realize that Demps is the one who wouldn't let him play until he was 100%? It's not like Gordon sat down and refused to get on the court. It isn't smart at all to play with a weak quad. That can lead to major structural damage.
I know a lot of people are mad at Gordon for being injured, but that doesn't make him "mentally weak." That doesn't even make any sense. If anything, Gordon is a mentally strong player who exudes confidence, swagger, and the willingness to take (and make) shots at the end of the the game.
Gordon and Demps did the smart thing which was to rehab correctly until he is healthy enough to play. It's that simple. They did the right thing, so get over it.
It's been reported that Gordon was offended by not being offered a max deal by us. Which I believe lead to all those comments about not wanting to be in NOLA or his heart being in Phoenix. It was also reported that Gordon took offense to Griffin popularity and role when he was with the Clippers. This and some of the interviews and things he's released through the media makes me feel Gordon is mentally weak. That's not even getting into the injury situation.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
It's been reported that he did this and that? So now he's mentally weak because if some things that most likely aren't even true. Just like all of the **** you say isn't true. Your argument is all based off of things you assume Gordon Dell and Monty think and do. Nothing you say is actual facts just what you think went and is going down behind the scenes.
I suggest you break your thoughts into separate paragraphs. Trying to read your posts are difficult all jumbled together. Not trying to be funny either.
1st I had that opinion well before Harden was dealt so making that connect couldn't be anymore false. The point is why would a GM play hardball with his franchise player? People are bringing up Wade. Even with his injury history anybody think Riley would let Wade hit the open market just to save what was what about a million and a half per season?
I won't sit here and pretend that I know what offers where on the table for Gordon. However there were teams interested. However I predicted that at last one team would offer Gordon a max deal. It was a weak FA class and players that were in Gordons' talent range had been given max deals in recent years.
Hopefully Gordon can remain healthy and lead this team to respectability. We are most likely stuck with him for better or worse. However I don't ever recall saying Demps was an idiot. He's made a ton of quality deals as our GM. However that doesn't mean I should think every transaction is a good one.

If they really wanted him they could have done a sign and trade. They knew we were willing to match anything to so instead of working a deal they just force us to match max and start crap in the media on purpose to force his way out. That's not slime balls? Those were nice words.
If it were your 6 million you would sing a different tune. Shrewd businessmen do not pay 6 million more simply to avoid drama. That is the line of thinking that will have your cap situation f'd up in a hurry
They were'mnt willing to give up talent for him. How do you know a team's not bluffing when they say that? They're in a no lose situation. They followed the rules. They didn't find some loophole. They offered him what they could offer him. I hold no angst against Phx in this.
No it doesn't contradict anything. Since when is $52 Million not wanting somebody. If the $6 mil isn't a big deal which it is then why did Presti offer Harden below the max? Dell did exactly what he should and that was offer him $52. He valued him as a max player if need be but if you can get him on the cheaper side you do it thats what a good GM does. Gordon didn't have to sign the deal and could wait a year to be a unrestricted free agent and I promise you he would take the $52. The Suns came in and offered Max so Dell did exactly what he should do and planned if need be which was offer the max. Where did I or they say we didn't want him? Suns started the media crap to try and get Gordon to force his way out. He said something dumb which I don't blame him because he had to play the game to get the Hornets to match. Everything I have seen or heard from him since seems like he's perfectly fine with being here and wants to. Dell never could have predicted the Suns offering or the knee injury which just happens and is nobodies fault its called human. We could not trade with the Suns because they offered and showed No previous interest as we know. What other situation should have happened? Please enlighten!

I hold nothing against them either but they knew we were willing to offer the max we just traded our star for him. If Dell bluffed and didn't match honestly me and i'm sure most of Hornets nation would have been furious! They brainwashed him with all this stuff and basically told him what to say and try to get his way out of Nola. Gordon said some things that made a lot of people mad. I hold no ill will towards either party but they were slime balls for doing that.
Why didn't the saints just offer brees 200 million dollars and avoid the hold out and all the negative attention it brought? Because you don't give money away. We were willing to give him the max but didn't believe anyone else would offer him that, after-all only 1 other team did, so why waste money? No one could have predicted the way it would have played out, it could have ended up being perfectly fine. Your entire argument for months and months is based off of hindsight.
I don't think they brainwashed him. I think the legitimately wanted Gordon without giving up assets and knew they didn't have huge odds to get him. So, in order to even offer the sheet to Gordon they said, you need to go out and make this statement. Phx didn't want to waste their time if the had No shot to get him. Gordon was being a good businessman, as you stated earlier and earned himself 6 more million dollars. everyone took risks here:
1. Hornets took risk to let him see what he could get on the outside market and had to pay more. They also risked making gordon feeling underappreciated, warnted or not.
2. Phx took a risk when they signed him because they knew the Hornets could match, so in order to create larger odds for them to receive Gordon, they had him make the statement and probably overpaid by a bit.
3. Gordon took risk to alienate Hornets fans if they matched by making the statement , but ended up with 6 million dollars more.
I'm not mad at anyone for this, but DeThone's point is if Dell would have just offered him 500k more per year, which is pretty insignificant in concerns to this deal the hornets could have avoided 3 risk: Overpaying by more than 500k, making Gordon feel somewhate underappreciated and Gordon losing the fans. This is where he has a point. I think DaThone has some more radical views that i don't agree with, but this one he absolutely has a point and is right on this issue. Was all of this melodrama worth 500k a year? Worse yet is it cost them more than the initial 500k. Part of a discussion is being able to be shown facts and understand if you're right or wrong, and if either party is unwilling to budge from your initial assessment, then the discussion is worthless.
No it was closer to $2 million a year then 500k.. A 4 year $52 or $58 thats a big difference. His point is all basing off of what he thinks went on or what the Hornets could have maybe done. How Dell is an idiot when he did exactly what he should have done and I thought he handled it very well. He offered him a good deal for us and him. He still had the option to not sign it and wait until next year but the Suns came out of nowhere so we matched. What about his argument is right? Like I said why didn't the Thunder offer Harden the max if its so meaningless? We are going to need every bit of $ we can have for the future signings. Why doesn't every player just get the max to avoid anything because its just a few more million per year? Thats what the Spurs do right? What about the Thunder and the "great" Presti?
I agree with everything you said but this. As I recall it was somewhat off the cuff when he made that statement. It was like an Internet blogger r something who recorded his statement. It wasn't like an official press conference or anything. It wasn't a prepared statement and I'm sure he immediately regretted his word choice. Even if it was preplanned I doubt anyone outside of his camp told him to say what he said.

Singing lieutenant's legacy lives on
Beth Sholom award honors employee, resident 'idol'
In his last 12 years of life, Art Heller coped with a debilitating stroke, a move from his lifelong home in New Jersey, and the stress of adjusting to serious health limitations and life in an assisted living facility and new town. But he didn't simply meet the challenge gracefully, say those who knew him. He excelled at his new life, won over an entire community of residents and employees in his new home, and went on to become an icon of the community who is still revered today. Although the World War II veteran passed away in 2004 – on Veteran's Day – his name still comes up frequently in conversations at Beth Sholom. From his stellar singing voice to his enthusiasm for baseball and his charismatic personality, Heller continues to live prominently in the memories of his Beth Sholom family. "The staff at the home absolutely adored him," says Arthur's son, Dan. "He had a personality that was able to engage everyone." Heller recalls that when family members visited other residents of the home, and their own relatives were not doing well, they would seek out Art Heller to get the lift in spirits they needed. "They'd stop and see my dad and just spend a few minutes, and then they'd tell me how good it made them feel," says Heller. "He had that uncanny ability." What's more, Art's legacy lives on in the annual Arthur Heller Employee Recognition Award award, which his grateful family established both as a tribute to Heller and as an appreciative gesture to the staff members who helped make his life so enjoyable in his later years. Heart of gold This year's award recipient, Mike Sorenson, has worked at Beth Sholom for 17 years in roles ranging from maintenance to night watchman to his current job as medical supplies coordinator. Deirdre Arnowitz, director of social work at Beth Sholom, says Sorenson is not only a deserving recipient, but one who has much in common with the award's namesake. "Mike is such a sweet man," says Arnowitz. "He'll do anything for anybody and he's very kind to all the residents." Arnowitz adds that among the roles Sorenson has assigned himself over the years -- without being asked -- is caretaker of animals at the home. "He loves cats and birds, and when we had a resident cat, Mike took care of her all the time," says Arnowitz. "He took her to the vet and came back on weekends to feed her. He wanted to make sure the residents had a cat." When the cat died, Sorenson took care of subsequent pets, including birds. He would make sure the birds were covered at night, and took them to residents to keep overnight. "The residents did better because of his efforts," says Arnowitz. Arnowitz also points out that when feral cats became a problem outside the residential community, Sorenson found homes for all of them as well. On the job, says Arnowitz, Sorenson is known for his knack for fixing things, and often helps out in the rehabilitation department repairing wheelchairs. "He just has a heart of gold," says Arnowitz, "and an unassuming manner. He never wants attention for himself and was just flabbergasted to get the award." 'King Arthur' While Sorenson is reluctant to speak of himself, he lights up with a smile remembering Art Heller, whom he calls a "good man" with a talent for singing and playing the piano. Arnowitz confirms Heller's talent for entertaining, and cites a list of favorite songs he would sing, including "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." "We called him King Arthur," says Arnowitz with a laugh. "He sang for every talent show and sing-along, and everyone followed along. I remember he also sang 'Always' to [his granddaughter] Erin. "He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He just melted us." Dan Heller notes that his father's singing voice was something of a legend, and that he entertained the troops during the 1940s. "There's a picture of him singing to 10,000 troops in Louisville, Kentucky," says Heller. "They called him 'The Singing Lieutenant.' But he was very modest, and other family members had to tell us about it." Heller says that after the war, his father apparently auditioned for a singing role, and ended up taking second place. The man he lost out to was Dennis Day, who later went on to fame as Jack Benny's sidekick. "I tell my children," says Heller, 'If there had been an American Idol in the 1940s, your grandpa would have been in the top ten.'" 'He meant so much' But it was Art Heller's demeanor, even more than his talent for entertaining, that stands out in the memories of those who knew him. "He was so appreciative," says Arnowitz, "and so amenable to everyone. Art was just the nicest, kindest, smartest – and he would share about his life. I always assigned social worker interns to him, because he was such a great guy to get to know." Dan Heller tells the story of an encounter about two years after his father died, when he was in line with his son at a fast food restaurant and noticed a woman staring at him. Eventually the woman approached him, saying, "You're Mr. Heller's son." She told Dan that she had worked at Beth Sholom years ago, and that in her 25-year career working in nursing homes, his father was the "nicest man I ever met." "Then," recalls Dan, "she takes out her wallet and shows me his obituary. She looked at me and said, 'He meant so much to me.'" Hearing that from a professional with that much experience in the field, says Heller, told him that establishing the employee recognition award was clearly the right way to recognize his father. Since establishing the award (which he discussed with his father before his death), Heller has noticed that the idea seems to generate other ideas for good turns. One day, Heller happened to mention the award while on the golf course, telling his fellow players how it honored not only his father's memory but also the unsung heroes who work at Beth Sholom. One golfer, who had just lost his son in an accident, was moved to donate gift cards to all of the award recipients in his son's memory. It's also tradition that as part of the annual awards ceremony, previous recipients join the celebration and are given corsages and gift certificates. The current winner, surrounded by residents, staff, and friends of the community, receives a cash award in addition to the recognition. The ceremony never fails to move Deirdre Arnowitz and members of the Heller family (Dan, wife Nancy, and children Ben and Erin – all of whom have volunteered at the home for years) – or to elicit memories and story-telling about "King Arthur." "I am so glad he lived here 12 years," says Arnowitz. "We were so lucky to have him." |

I knew I wouldn't have time to make a real pattern with yardage requirements and everything…so this will have to do for now! This is a fun quilt to make…chain piece everything and you can whip up a stack of blocks quick-ish. ;)
This tutorial makes a 9" finished block (9 1/2" unfinished).
You'll need:
1 – 3 1/2" square (the blue fabric)
2 – 3 7/8" squares print fabric (orange fabric)
2 – 3 7/8" squares white fabric
1 – 2" x 15" strip of print fabric
1 – 2" x 15" strip of white fabric
1. Draw a diagonal pencil line from corner to corner on each white square. Place the white squares and print squares right sides together, sew a scant 1/4" on each side of the pencil line, cut down the pencil line, and press towards the print fabric. That was a mouthful…here's a better look at making half square triangles if your brand new to it.
When your done you should have four half square triangles that measure 3 1/2" each.
2. Sew the 2" strips together, press towards the print fabric. Here's a look at your pieces so far:
3. Cut the strip until into four squares 3 1/2" each.
4. Layout your pieces into the block. Sew the pieces into 3 rows. Press top and bottom row seams towards the center unit, and the center row seams towards the outer units.
5. Press the block well, it should measure 9 1/2".
Happy Churn Dashing! A better look at my whole quilt top can be found here.

Yeah Linux is great step for the technology and i appreciate those guy who make the Linux..How much money is required to get the license of the Linux?
@Michael: Can you please do some benchmarks with the new zfs code. I would be interested to see the performance between ext4/btrfs/zfs.
Also if you could include OpenSolaris for a native zfs comparison that would be peaches
I would love to see Linux adopting ZFS as 'standard'; I though free/open source was all about merithocracy...
It would be good if the linux installers would include some sort of zfs support.
You install the zfs package on the running install media, then you are able to partition and install to zfs. This way the zfs is not provided in the install media and no patent issues arise.
I was trying to do this with a fedora 18 live install but it's not very straight forward.
The community should be able to help you with recovery.

Kikuichi Hammered Santoku Knife
- Summary
The Kikuichi history of fine craftsmanship dates back to 12th century Japan, when an ancestor became a swordsmith for the emperor, marking each sword with the monarch's chrysanthemum symbol. Today this proud tradition of metalwork continues with beautiful cutlery etched with this enduring emblem. Handcrafted in Japan, their santoku combines the functions of a chef's knife and cleaver.
- Damascus-style blade is forged from 16 layers of incredibly dense VG-10 "super steel" to provide precise control while maintaining a razor-sharp edge.
- The handsome dimpled pattern ("tsuchime" in Japanese) helps the blade glide easily through food without sticking.
- Tsuchime pattern is hand-hammered, then heat-tempered, making each blade unique.
- Traditional wooden handles are triple-riveted to guarantee optimal balance and control.
- 7 1/4" knife: 7 1/4"-long blade, 4 3/4"-long handle; 6 oz.
- 5" knife: 5"-long blade, 4 1/2"-long handle; 5 oz.
- Made in Japan.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a waterstone or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Peralta looks to pick up where he left off before break
Marlins strive to avoid sweep in Milwaukee behind Alvarez
Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta is a different pitcher from the last time he faced the Marlins.
When the Milwaukee right-hander toed the rubber against Miami on June 11, he sported a 6.16 ERA and only one quality start in his previous five outings.
But his no-decision against Miami was the first of four quality starts in his final seven first-half appearances, a stretch that saw his ERA drop from 6.16 to 4.61. He recorded three scoreless outings during that span, two of which came against the Reds.
Peralta has proven even more impressive in his three most recent outings, giving up only one earned run in 21 1/3 innings. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke hopes Peralta's recent success is a sign of better things to come after struggles in May and June.
"I think that along with what we saw last year when he was good for the five outings, that makes me feel a lot better about him being consistent," Roenicke said. "When he showed he could do it last year and then he's getting it together now, I feel like he can be more consistent and not have the meltdowns he has."
The 24-year-old's recent success is vindication for the Brewers, who stuck with Peralta in the rotation through his struggles this season. He recorded a 7.71 ERA in six starts during May and gave up six or more hits in nine of his first 13 starts.
But Milwaukee believed a slow start from Peralta was worth enduring for the eventual emergence of the right-hander, who recorded a 2.25 ERA and three quality starts last September.
"I don't know what turns it around, it's usually confidence," Roenicke said. "But Last year at Triple-A he started off poorly and then he got really hot."
Peralta starts opposite the winless Henderson Alvarez on Sunday. Alvarez endured an even slower start than Peralta. Alvarez will make only his fourth start since his season debut on July 4 after beginning the season on the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Although results have been mixed for Alvarez in his first three outings, Marlins manager Mike Redmond is confident in the 23-year-old's ability, despite giving up 17 hits in his past two outings.
"He's got a good arm," Redmond said. "He's done a pretty good job of throwing strikes and limiting damage. In his last start before the All-Star break, he came out a little bit shaky, but ended up really settling. In those middle innings, he was like a different guy. He really settled in and threw some great pitches.
"We've only seen him in three starts. It's one of those things where we're going to continue to evaluate him over the next couple of months and see what he can do over the next 10-15 starts and see where he may fit in the mix of all these young guys. I know he has the ability to run it up to 93 [mph], 94 and maybe touch 95. The arm is there. It's just a matter of him continuing to learn how to pitch, and carrying out a game plan."
Marlins: Hechavarria makes return to leadoff spot
Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria finished 1-for-4 in his first game at the leadoff spot since May 24.
Hechavarria is batting .231 (6-for-26) with two runs scored in seven games atop Miami's batting order.
He is batting .424 (25-for-59) during July, raising his batting average from .203 on June 30 to .248, just under the .254 clip he recorded in 41 games with the Blue Jays in 2012.
Brewers: Lucroy reeling in runners against Fish
Jonathan Lucroy finished 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs in the Brewers' 6-0 win against the Marlins on Saturday night.
He is batting .556 (10-for-18) with nine RBIs in five games against Miami this season.
Lucroy's two-RBI night also upped his Majors-leading total among catchers to 52.
Worth noting
• Miami is 9-19 against Milwaukee since 2010, including only one victory in five meetings this season.
• Milwaukee improved to 35-0 when leading after eight innings on Saturday. The Brewers, Rangers, A's and Blue Jays are the only teams that are unbeaten when leading after eight.
• Giancarlo Stanton is batting .280 (21-for 75) with five home runs and 17 RBIs in 19 games against National League Central teams.

Richards, Halos seeking series equalizer vs. O's
Right-hander set to face Gausman in rematch at Camden Yards
Garrett Richards may not be thinking too much about the American League Cy Young Award race in late July, but he'd have every reason to do so.
The 26-year-old right-hander is 11-3 with a 2.62 ERA thanks in large part to his unprecedented increased fastball velocity. This season, Richards is averaging 96.3 mph, second-fastest among qualifying starting pitchers (trailing only Yordano Ventura of the Royals) and nearly two full ticks faster than last year's mark (94.8 mph).
It's why that even when Richards doesn't earn a victory -- like in his last two starts since the All-Star break -- he's still been highly effective, allowing just five runs over 14 innings in that span.
"There's a lot of guys having good years this year," said Richards, who takes the ball on Wednesday night against the Orioles. "The top 10 pitchers in the AL, or even in baseball, are putting up ridiculous numbers this year. I'm not concentrating on individual goals. I just want to win every time I go out and pitch. Obviously, I don't want to give up any runs and I don't want to walk anybody. I want to strike everybody out. In an ideal world, I just want to go out and win a ballgame. That's where my focus is at."
The Orioles should have some confidence facing Richards considering they knocked Angels ace Jered Weaver around for six runs over five innings in Tuesday's 7-6 walk-off win in the series opener. That came after winning an extra-innings affair with the Mariners last week, opposing arguably the best pitcher in the game in Felix Hernandez.
The starter responsible for matching Hernandez is 23-year-old Kevin Gausman, who took a 103-pitch no-decision in his second-longest outing this season (6 2/3 innings), scattering seven hits and three walks, while navigating out of several jams. Gausman will try to help the O's secure a series win vs. the Halos.
"I'm a fan of pitchers and good pitchers, and [Hernandez is] probably the best in baseball right now," Gausman said after the victory. "The last couple years, he's been pretty unbelievable, so I definitely knew I was going to have to have my 'A' game."
Gausman will try to bring that "A" game again vs. Richards, who's aiming to get back into the win column for the first time since July 11.
Angels: Scioscia still a believer in divisional play
A lot of season remains and a lot can still happen, but if the schedule ended Tuesday, the Angels would easily have the second-best record in the Majors -- they were five games better than the third-place Tigers when play began on Tuesday -- and still their season would come down to one game.
It's the misfortune that comes with residing in the same American League West division as baseball's best team -- the A's, who the Angels trailed by 1 1/2 games entering Tuesday -- and it's the bad timing of playing in an era with two Wild Card teams in each league.
Manager Mike Scioscia has long been a proponent of divisional play, believing division winners should have clear advantages over those that make the playoffs via the Wild Card. And the fact that his club is on the other side of that isn't making him change his stance.
"I think the weight that is on winning a division is warranted," Scioscia said on Tuesday. "I think that if you're going to have divisional baseball, you have to really make winning a division the first objective of any team that's contending. And if you don't quite reach that goal, and you play well enough, then you have the opportunity to work your way into the playoffs."
Orioles: Davis out of Tuesday's lineup
Dealing with flu-like symptoms, Chris Davis didn't play in the series opener against the Angels. The slugger was sent home for the day.
"He was sick all day yesterday and didn't seem to be making a marked improvement," manager Buck Showalter said on Tuesday. "It's infectious, and I didn't want him to pass it around the clubhouse."
Davis was nauseous and vomiting after the team's West Coast trip, Showalter said, so head athletic trainer Richie Bancells sent him home to avoid the illness from spreading.
"That's one of the things about traveling all over the country," Showalter said. "I hope it's an isolated case. We'll see."
Worth noting
• Since June 6, the Angels lead the Majors with a 32-14 record. The Angels' best record through 105 games was 65-40 in 2009. They're 63-42 this season after Tuesday's defeat.
• Matt Wieters was at Camden Yards on Tuesday and has had the immobilizer removed from his right arm. The catcher is expected to travel with the Orioles for the remainder of the season.
• Entering Tuesday, Mike Trout led the Majors with 59 extra-base hits and 229 total bases.

text: Interestingly enough, I have noticed something actually funny about this thread. The title may not be, but Q is making halfway lucid arguments. Deeply flawed perhaps, but actually lucid at all. Kinda like Michelle Bacemann... Also, when I first started posting, I couldn't understand a damn word Q was trying to say in English. Now, I can actually make sense of half of it.

Promotional Footwear from ePromos is perfect for corporate events, schools, resorts, weddings and much more! Everyone wears shoes, so why not customize them with your logo? Promotional sandals are a great option for fundraising events and promotional giveaways. No matter what style of footwear you choose, they are a guaranteed way to keep your logo on the move!
ePromos' offers a wide selection of Promotional Footwear, from laid-back flip flops to warm and cozy boots. If you're looking for the perfect warm-weather solution, promotional sandals are a popular choice. At ePromos, the sky's the limit. Footwear materials range from leather to foam and you can get cool features such as a built-in bottle opener in the sole (great for popping a top at the beach!). You can customize your promotional sandals in a variety of ways, whether you want to spotlight your logo on the sole or strap. You can even opt to customize the bottom with your logo to create a "talking footprint" in the sand! Wherever the wearer goes, it leaves an imprint of your logo behind.
If you're in search of a unique gift that is sure to turn heads, we offer microfiber suede boots – just like the Ugg boots that are so popular at department stores. Our Kodi boots are available in men's and women's styles, and are embellished with custom trim colors and embroidered panels to showcase your logo. For those fitness and sports promotions, you can't go wrong with classic crew cut socks, bright shoelaces or other footwear accessories that feature your logo! ePromos has it all – give us a call for the best customer service, selection and prices for your Promotional Footwear.
