Dubai coma victim seeks compensation from Emirates hotel chain
Natalie Creane was celebrating her engagement with a trip to the Emirates Palace Hotel four years ago when she was struck on the head with a wooden panel and her life was changed forever.
The Dubai resident was putting her shoes away in the hotel wardrobe when the loose panel hit her on the head. Since then she has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and Traumatic Brain Injury.
The case has now gone to court and friends of Natalie have started campaigns for justice on Facebook and Twitter. So far the Emirates hotel chain, owned by a Swiss-German conglomerate are refusing to accept liability.
Meanwhile Creane has slipped into a coma and has blood clots in her lung and leg. The side-effects from the medication she takes for her seizures are also having a serious effect on her liver.
The family has excellent lawyers at their disposal but so far the hotel chain is denying responsibility. The case continues.
What do you think about the case? Should Emirates Palace Hotel pay out compensation? Tell us your views below.
Top Headlines
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but until you have seen the damage it has done to her, tried to talk to her and seen her have a seizure and shaking fit you will never understand what she has endured and will have to endure for the rest of her life. They should at least help her with treatment and pay for the medical bills. They have put Natalie through years of uncalled for stress and if they had just done what's right this could have been settled and Natalie's injuries would not have got as bad as they are. The fight isn't over.
I am feeling with the girl in the coma, but before everyone here jumps into this and blames the hotel people should get their facts right.
Wouldn't it make sense to blame the doctors who didn't treat the patient proper from the beginning??
And additional fact is that the hotel is owned by Abu Dhabi National Hotel / the Abu Dhabi Government / The Abu Dhabi Ruling family.
The owner will surely stick what ever a court decides, but people also have to understand that not everyone who blames certain condition can be paid compensation. That's what courts are for and if people don't agree with a justice system in certain countries then they shouldn't live in that country.
I know I will get flamed here now, but people should sometimes also be reasonable.
May God be with the poor lady in the hospital.
However this ends the Emirates Palace needs to know that 1000's of UAE residents will never visit this hotel because of the handling of this case....... We have long memories ! I hope Natalie recovers to live the life she deserves, this sounds like a horrific accident and a complete failure on the part of the hotel to offer her her rights as a paying guest .
I just don't understand why they don't take responsibility. Anywhere else is the world they would HAVE to. I definately will never go back to Emirates Palace, disgraceful behaviour.
OMG have just learnt about this awful tragedy. With the amount the like of Emirates Palace charge for rooms day in day out, covering Natalie's hospital bills is the very least they can do surely??!! Isn't this what their guest insurance is for?? This young girls life has been changed and impaired forever, yes an accident but her life changed forever all the same. Surely the hotel would want good publicity rather than bad all I am seeing is bad! Shame on them. I wish Nathalie all the very very best and hope things turn around for the better for her soon.
It is a drop in the oceon for them to pay up, a clear cut case the way I see it, I also have a daughter and shudder to think of such a thing happening, millions of dollors are spent every second to such people, so PAY UP YOU CRUEL BASTARDS
Pay up you total bastards- u've already ruined her life. She wouldn't have had this injury unless she'd paid to stay in your hotel.
I also know Natalie and she is truly beautiful both inside and out. She is one of the most kind hearted people I know and one if life's good guys. She doesnt deserve to be treated like this. The hotel should take responsibility and accept that all her pain and suffering and expense is a direct consequence of their faulty fixture. The hotel can well afford to pay compensation but instead they are digging their heels in and hoping that Natalie will run out of enery/money. I will never recommend this hotel and hope that all this negative publicity forces it to do the right thing.
If this hotel chain gets enough negative publicity it will see sense and maybe its Management and Board of Directors will even discover a collective conscience. If it does not pay proper compensation it should be made to pay the price .... people should boycott this hotel and other hotels in the group until it owns up and pays proper compensation. After all it should have Insurance to cover such an accident or are we all taking our lives 'in our hands' when we book into hotels???
Spread the word that the Emirates Palace is not to be trusted and has no regard or its clients. Shameful behaviour on their part. Boycott this evil business
What a lack of integrity on the hotels part to not accept responsibility. It's disgusting. Really to pay her medical bills would probably be a drop in the ocean for a large company such as that. Absolutely appauling. I would suggest a world wide boycott of their hotel.
The hotel will have more to gain if they pay for compensation than not to accept liability, as the bad publicity will be more damaging to them....Sp Emirates Palace, do the right thing!
Come on Emirates Palace - I am also appauled that you keep dragging this on - this is someone's life you are playing with.
I was shocked to learn that this case has been going on since 2008 and Natalie's family have been fighting this for so long.
If Emirates Palace is owned by a Swiss German conglomerate which will have powerful corporate lawyers, not to mention the lawyers of their insurers for liability, then this case will surely drag on for another 4+ years unless we, the people, help to keep it in the spotlight.
Whilst corporate and insurance lawyers fight to protect their funds this poor young woman's life is ruined.
The UAE, and with it's capital Abu Dhabi, are known around the globe for their humanitarian efforts. If this hotel does not have a local partner who can pressure them to do the right thing, then we must appeal to the President's office to apply pressure by withdrawing their license to operate if such cases are not dealt with in a timely manner.
Let them take care of Natalie now while she needs the help, and sort out who is responsible for the costs in their own time.
It is now the holy month of Ramadan, a time when we get closer to God and thank him for our blessings and help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Let's appeal to Emirates Palace and it's directors and associates to "fast" on their profits this Ramadan and give this girl (and her family) the support she so desperately needs and should have received without question since the incident.
I don't know this person,but I really feel sorry for her..The compensation is the minimum that should be done for her.
A court of law have ruled in her favour and the hotel should honour that ruling. Surely they have insurance for such matters. It is obvious her life has been dramatically altered due to this incident. The hotel should be doing everything they can to help her.
This is a disgraceful accident which the hotel should take responsibility for. That a young woman has been left in this state and they continue to deny any liaibility is outrageous. If she had not visited the hotel she would not be in the sad situation she is now in. The company should do the right thing.
By law... if an employee us injured while on duty (on or off premises), it is the employer's responsibility to cover expenses. Now, what do you think is the right thing to do when a customer/ guest is injured on premises and due to a mal-function in one of the hotel's properties (i.e. loose cupboard)? If it is proven that the panel was in fact lose and fell on her head causing this injury then the hotel MUST BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE!
If the appeals court accepted the sppeal for this long then there mot have been more to the story than we know.
absolutly they have to pay, all the hotel they should have insurance and be responsable for this thinghs.
In any case if they don't help this family...is enough to don't use that hotel chain, and they will loose much more
This is awful. I cannot believe they're getting away with this. This poor woman is suffering and they are not taking responsibility. Accidents happen everyday, and this is not a simple case of oh she slipped and fell and broke her leg, this accident has destroyed her life. The hotel can keep it out of court, maintain their credibility and help this poor woman out.
I am disgusted by the actions of Emirates Palace and will certainly never stay there again, nor any other Kempinsky property! It is a true reflection of their customer 'care' so why would anyone spend money staying in one of their 'luxury' hotels? This poor girls life has been changed forever and her family face financial ruin and EP behave like this?????There are no words to discribe what I feel towards them!
The hotel IS responsible - if this happened in my house, I would be responsible, even though it was not intentional. Emirates Palace must be held accountable and do the right thing: it's tragic enough that this poor girl has had her quality of health and life destroyed, the hotel's response to the situation is morally reprehensible and utterly unconscionable! I will never spend another dirham there and will tell everyone I know to avoid it like the plague!
When does the hotel's access to the appeals system run out? If they are legally entitled to appeal then they are going to do so, as a commercial decision, not a personal one. Once they get to the highest court in the land the appeals will run out. That's when they must accept the judgement handed down. These kinds of cases can take many years to move through appeals courts to the supreme court regardless of which country they are in. So Natalie's lawyers must do everything they can to expedite the process from their end (not delaying in submitting documents etc) and trust in the UAE's legal system.
Zippy, I think u r right not a good idea now to visit that HOtel!
Shame on that! Do what is the BEST and RIGHT thing in this case!They should look after the young lady suffering all of this now.
But our prayers will be with you Natalie, keep fighting, God is with you!
Please Emirates Palace, do the right thing and help Natalie! Your legal team should be ashamed of themselves!
They should absoulty cover the medical expenses incoured and ongoing compensation. Shame on you emirates hotel for ingroning this poor girls fight for her life.
Please Emirates, do the decent thing and cover Natalie's costs.
Emirates Palace should definitely pay! They are responsible for her injury and it is their moral obligation to do everything possible to make things right. I will not visit or recommend this hotel to anyone until they do the honorable thing and accept responsibility.
A person has a reasonable expectation of safety in a luxury hotel. It was an accident, but it shouldn't have happened. Emirates Palace is responsible. Their refusal to accept any responsibility is shocking, and demonstrates a total disregard for someone's life.

Castor, thank you for sharing! That's great news!
Thread: 10 Dior Exclusives this Fall
Thanks to the Scented Salamander Blog for the news:
among them a Leather Oud scent!
Castor, thank you for sharing! That's great news!
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
I didn't understand, are there going to be classics amoung them?!
I wish for Diorling, then ... D.I.O.R.L.I.N.G.!
Just too bad they're going to be Dior Boutique exclusives,
I cannot get a hold on Les Exclusifs, now these.
Copenhagen dosn't have a Chanel nor a Dior Boutique.
I think you may have to sell your pants if you want them all !!!!!!
I came in here to say congrats to Le Grand Duc! I'll definitely be checking these out as well, Dior is a great house
10 not ONE! TEN?
Can I quote...
"So much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It's hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a while
Like a rare and precious metal
Beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble
To separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to
A lot of useless talk
Shapes and forms against the norm
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions
Is a mass production scheme..."
Neil Peart - Rush - 1985
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme...
I'm kinda surprised they hadn't come out with something called "New Look" before this.
I don't know much about medicine, but I know what I like. -- S.J. Perelman
Thank you, Neuroses!
As for you, Killer; Chanel could do it,
and get's alot of praise for their line,
why should Dior not be able to pull
the same stunt off?!
We all know, that the House of Dior
is waaay better than Chanel already!
*runs and hide*
I don't know much about medicine, but I know what I like. -- S.J. Perelman
Dior is a respected house so I'd be looking out for these too... Just hope they don't pull a D&G Anthology.
Thanks castorpollux for the link. Btw for a site with such a huge following, BN seems to be behind the curve when it comes to 'breaking news in the industry'... What gives?
[QUOTE=Le Grand Duc;1936414][/QUOTE
Oh yeah baby? Well, let's see how high you're gonna fling your hat when the 10 frags turn out to be as vapid as Dior Higher/Higher Energy
Dior IS respectable indeed but they made those horrid Higher frags LOL
I wonder if these are going to be exclusive only to Dior boutiques???
The fact that these Dior frags are being held back behind the boutique counter implies that they would die on the department-store counter or Aisle 1 at Sephora. "D&G" is Dolce and Gabbana's valid effort to appeal to the mass market - it was never intended for the high-end luxury market and the serious fragrance fan. It sure looks like this is.
Now I have to say - releasing ten too quickly is a BAD sign. However, it depends on the history. If this has been in the works for a while, or if these represent stuff that never made the final cut because the mass appeal was judged to be lacking, they could be excellent frags. Personally, I find the Tom Ford private collection to be a little too carbon-copy, but at a very high level of quality. And the Chanel collection is respectable. I'm willing to entertain the idea that these could be great frags..... but I'll let my nose be the final judge.
Top 10:
1. Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta
3. Tom Ford Bois Marocain
4. Creed Green Irish Tweed
5. Dior Homme/Intense
6. YSL Opium
7. Azzaro Pour Homme
8. Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur
9. YSL Live Jazz
10. Burberry London
Also congratulations Le Grand Duc, let me know if you have any trouble accessing them and I might be able to help

If they're not EDPs then I'll pass...
This trend of releasing new fragrances en masse is disturbing. We have groups of six, ten, twelve, and perhaps more.
I wish these companies would concentrate on releasing one really good fragrance every couple of years or so rather than releasing batches of mediocre ones all at once.
But who knows? Most of these might prove to be pretty good, but I have my doubts!
Last edited by noggs; 25th September 2010 at 05:57 PM.
I hope they're not in those huge jugs like the "old" exclusives (Eau Noire et all).
But I do hope they bring Eau Noire back. I can't wear it, but I think the world of perfume is a little sadder without it...
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
I wanted so badly to try Eau Noire. Then my stepdad who likes fragrances, but is content with $4 bottles of anything, finds my sample on the table and uses it. I found it empty in the car. I was so upset.. still am. I got to get a glimpse of it the day I got it but nothing after that Instead of getting a fragrance for winter I had my mom get me samples from TPC, and this was one of them. Someday I hope to be able to try it again.. not sure if I will though. Hopefully I'll be able to try a couple of these if I can. There's no way in hell I'll be able to get to a boutique except if I plan a whole day to NYC.
I hope they carry them over here - there's only one Dior flagship carrying the four others (Cologne Blanche etc) and they are sort of tucked away - clearly not a high priority item.
I am a little wary of ready made 'collections' but at least with Dior there's a precedent and they are incorporating three of the four existing exclusives into this line. Look forward to finding out just how well conceived the collection turns out to be, how long it has been in the works, who got roped in to create them etc.
Well the notes for the new Cologne Royale are clearly not the same as Cologne Blanche so that leaves CB flapping out in the wind - I wonder if it's going to go? I've tried it a couple of times and it resembles Histoires de Parfum 1725 a bit, which I like. Might revisit and pick one up. Cologne Royale and Granville look like pretty trad hale and hearty masculines . . .

I love the Dior house but I'd rather have them release 1 or 2 new groundbreaking top notch frags then 10 mediocre ones....not saying they are gonna be mediocre at all but, just sayin.
This is very exciting!!!
I wasn't that blown away by their exclusive line right now actually. I liked Eau Blanche and Bois D'Argent, but not enough to pay whatever they're asking for to get them. I admit that Leather Oud intrigued me, so let's just say that I'm cautiously optimistic about them...
Why does it matter if they are EDPs or not? They could be EDC for all I care, just make em' good.
Edit: Weren't the previous releases EDC? Eau Noire, Rose d'Nuit, and Bois d'Argent (to a lesser extent) lasted FOREVER.

More info about the Cologne Collection:
As some basenoters suspected, dior is adding more scents to their cologne collection. The Vetiver and Leather Oud are the ones that sound more appealing to me. I just hope that they do the cologne collection in smaller sizes - 75 or 50ml would be great - and with spray. I hate having to decant my Bois d'Argent and my Cologne Blanche everytime i want to wear them...
And Octavian has already rumoured about this collection at the beginning of the year on his blog 1000fragrances. It seems that his font was a great one - since he announced that dior would launch a hypnotic poison flanker too.
Ok, perhaps something isn't made clear in the link from the scented salamander. They mention that there will be 10 fragrances comprising this collection. Three of them are already existing (Ambre Nuit, Bois d'Argent and Eau Noire), and then they go on to mention the remaining 7 releases. Why isn't Cologne Blanche included in this collection? Is it discontinued, just a mistake, or is it considered part of another collection? Either way, I will NEVER turn down the opportunity to try a new vetiver scent.
Edit: If I had continued reading, I would have noticed they mention how they are trying to verify whether or not Cologne Royale is a new fragrance or a renamed Cologne Blanche. I'd have to imagine it being the latter, otherwise I'm very confused.

Actually, I thought that they were EDCs because they were so light and seems so close to the skin. I would have possibly invested in Bois d'Argent if it was any stronger.
I'm looking forward to trying New Look, but then I'm Mr. Tuberose, so I would. I look forward to any niche-y tuberose.
The rest don't really pique my interest. Mitzah could be great but I am totally oversupplied with orientals that do those notes wonderfully, so there will need to be something else to it to grab my attention. Granville is "fresh, aromatic and sharp" and without further notes that tells me almost nothing. The cologne I'm fine forgetting about. Milly's description of a delicate musk isn't my style ( hey, enough with this white musk trend - give me some skank! ) The vetiver probably uses the coffee note I can't stand ( I'm picturing New Haarlem with vetiver instead of patch ). The ad copy for Leather Oud just screams BIRCH TAR, BIRCH TAR, BIRCH TAR so I feel safe stearing well away ( not that I mind birch tar in small doses ).
I honestly don't mind the line-by-the-batch releases, I just wish the genres were less predictable. There WILL be an amber; there WILL be a vetiver; there WILL be a gourmand; there WILL be an oud. Shake things up a little and it'll draw more attention for folks like Basenoters, at least I think so.
I have got an info about new exclusive La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Christian Dior.
Ten fragrances in Collection, with 3 masculines that we are knew before (Eau Noire, Ambre Nuit, Bois d`Argent), and three new masculines (Cologne Royale, Vetiver and Leather Oud).
Also some feminines: New Look 1947, Mitzah, Granville, Milly-La-Foret.
The notes, the names and concept are here in Russian (google-translator could help):
Sorry, guys, no time to translate the text properly. Later I`d make it, maybe.
And if you fancy Cologne Blanche by Dior Colognes - you better store up, cause it looks like it`ll be discontinued.
Vetiver The Great!!!
I'm interested in Granville which seems like what would be a "classic" men's cologne and Milly-la-Forêt, since i'm just hoping it's not another boring version of soft "purple flowers" with the regular white musk base that's so common nowadays in women's scents.
of course as i mentioned i wanna smell the leather oud and can i say that a man can never have enough Vetiver? i certainly can't!
This would explain why the original three were becoming increasingly difficult to find. Let's hope they haven't been reformulated.
Hopefully, the labels will be laminated this time and the pouch material won't shed on the spray attachment.
Mitzah, Vétiver, Granville and Leather Oud sound worthy of a sniff, if nothing more...
OK, some new info about notes of the colognes from CD:
New Look 1947 - Indian tuberose absolute, ylang-ylang from Mayotte, Tuscan Iris, Damask Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Pink Peppercorns, Black Pepper, Madagascar Vanilla, Siam Benjoin.
Mitzah - Coriander essence, Damask Rose, Cinnamon Essence from Sri-Lanka, Labdanum, Cistus, Vanilla, Honey, Indonesian Patchouli, Somalian Incense.
Granville - Lemon Concentrate, Pine absolute, Thyme, Rosemary, Gorse, Black Pepper essence, Indian Sandalwood.
Cologne Royale - Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon, "Winter Caliber" Lemon Concentrate, Calabrian Neroli, Mint.
Milly-La-Foret - Mandarine, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Iris, Sandalwood, touch of Moss and extremely concentrated Musk.
Vetiver - Sicilian Grapefruit zest, Haitian Vetiver, Robusta coffee.
Leather Oud - Cardamom, Clove essence, Oud, New Caledonian Sandalwood, South American Amyris, French Birch, Cistus and Labdanum.
Also, Ambre Nuit has essence of ambergris (gray amber), that has been collected in New Zealand shores.
Vetiver The Great!!!
Ive yet to try the original 3 , have never seen them for sale anywhere .... Anyway really looking forward to these , I think they will be something quite special
I`m going to try all, but made my bets on Granville, Vetiver (even if it sounds like Jo Malone Black Vetiver Coffee), and Leather Oud. And lesser amount on Cologne Royale, as I detect some note similarities with new Eau Sauvage Concentree (that of black bottle, the cologne I like so much, but sure is more affordable).
Vetiver The Great!!!
Wow, this is really exciting news! The three new men's offerings sound like they're built around classic themes, but I'm always open to a new leather and a new vetiver. The women's sound a little more abstract, Mitzah? Sounds like a mitzvah.
Geeked to try Cologne Royale.
And also somewhat interested in Granville.
Anyone know where Dior's Exclusives sold in/around Chicago ?

Interested in the three men's offerings also.
Is there any info about the date of this exclusive CD launch? November? December?
Vetiver The Great!!!
I managed to get a 125 ml bottle of Eau Noire yesterday. The SA told me the current EDT concentration would be discontinued and replaced by EDP starting today. I suspect the EDP version of Eau Noire is part of the new line of the 10 exclusives. More surprisingly the SA explained me that they were (yesterday) immediately removing all former EDT bottles from their stock (Eau Noire, Bois d'Argent and Cologne Blanche) and would not sell the remaining stock. She made it very clear that yesterday was my last opportunity to buy the EDT. I am no longer in Paris to check this but I will report back in 2 weeks.
Octavian has reviewed three so far - these are sounding very, very interesting,
Octavian's reviews are great - Mitzah and Leather Oud are now on my to-try list. I really hope he reviews them all!
Btw, none of the labels state 'cologne', so it sounds hopeful.

I just do not understand why these companies cannot just create one or two "amazing" fragrances a year, or better yet every other year, instead of "collections" that are exclusive to the boutiques.

The Bone Chamber
The Bone Chamber (Mass Market Paperback)
Mysteriously summoned to Quantico to help re-create the face of a murdered, mutilated young woman, FBI forensic artist Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows immediately this is no ordinary crime.

Now her hunt for a killer is carrying her from Washington to Rome to the hidden chamber of a legendary tomb—on the trail of a fabled treasure of the Knights Templar . . . and a curse.
For buried deep in the mysteries of the Freemasons and the Vatican's Holy See is a secret that could rock the world. Suddenly an ancient map is pointing Sydney toward something the Templars wished to hide away forever—something that could unleash an unstoppable tide of blood and devastation.

Senior Internet Editor
The National Science Foundation is making it possible to use the theoretical to deal with the reality of the largest oil spill in U.S. history.
Irene Qualters, program director for the National Science Foundation's Blue Waters Program told Federal News Radio the key is using a supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to model the movement of the oil.
It predicts up to 72 hours in advance the exact movement and the volume as it heads into these fragile areas off the coast. And so it will be able to help those who are trying to mitigate, and plan for mitigating, the effect of the oil. It will help them focus their resources and be able to expect how much is coming and precisely where, because it's a pretty big coast.
Qualters said NSF is working with NOAA and DHS, exchanging data and other information in both directions. Satellite data tracking the oil from the National Weather Service comes in every six hours, said Qualters. The model is run and the information is fed back out to clean up efforts.
With the start of hurricane season, Qualters said the program has begun just in time. "That's the strength of these researchers and the model they're using. It is particularly adept at storm surge and the effect within coastal regions."
With a three day head start, getting the word out should help, said Qualters.
The results of this will be used both by NOAA and Department of Homeland Security who have websites existing. And they will use this to better predict where the oil is going to end up and in what volume. Because, I think from the early stages of the oil spill, it's been clear we don't have a very good idea of where it's going to be and when. And how. For example, is it going to be tar balls. What are the other attributes.
Other areas of research from NSF will look at the deep water plume, and what will break up the oil effectively, according to Qualters. "This particular research is very important and hopefully help those that are being directly effected, but I think some of the longer term issues associated with the deep water and how best to break up the oil. There are independent efforts going on to do the necessary research quickly to help those efforts too."
Qualters notes the work being done now will last long after the clean up is complete. Since the model being run now uses research done during Katrina. "Hopefully as we go into this hurricane season, we're benefiting both from the research that's going on right now, but also we're learning from disasters that have occurred previously."

How do I download images as Desktop Screensaver ? Link ! Do I use a special folder?
[ol]Go to your Pictures (or wherever you stored them in) [*] All we need is just 2 or 3 images from several folders if you have multiple folders just to get started ------------- Go to AppData [*] Click on Local [*] Click on Microsoft [*] Click on Windows [*] Click on Themes - [i] note if there are no folder there, right click and create a folder and name it exactly like this: Themes[/i] [*] Click on image of picture from your file folder in Pictures and COPY and paste into THEMES (just 2 or 3)[/ul] Now close your Pictures and AppData - and right click mouse to click on PERSONALIZE; from there you will now see your images in the upper top - cool huh? :) At this point, you can now click on that image, then on the bottom, click on the link, which will open into anoher page in turn which will open into your photo folder. You can also now open other Albums by clicking on Browse. Having the options to select one, shuffle, rotate, including transparency and so much more in the advanced settings! Have fun! :-D [/ol]
I love the subject and the images.... only I won't be using them as desktop wallpapers any time soon. Their resolution is just too low to consider it, it would not do the pictures any justice.
I have experimented with these images and found that there is a huge difference between using the normal and the enhanced version. The latter profits from a better resolution on a standard monitor
Just started looking but how to make these awesome pictures as my own desktop wallpaper/background?
That will give you the highest resolution - so are very big.
It is slightly different depending on the browser, but in Firefox for example - open the full image using the link on this page, and then right-click the ensuing image. In the menu will be an item that says "Set as desktop background" In Windows properties you can specify how the image should fill the screen.

I reckon the closing ceremony was great, the opening choreography with the circles and drums was brilliant. The poms ruined it though, genuine WTF moment. Only good thing about it was Page but then they put him together with some crappy reality tv show winner and David Beckham?? Horrible.
What was Beckham doing at the closing ceremony? Or was it part of the 2012 handover, if so it makes sense I guess as he is like the ambassador for those Olympics, or something

RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.
Yeah was part of the handover.
The English part was so pathetic. Out of some ridiculous transforming bus was... Leona Lewis, who proceeded to butcher 'Whole Lotta Love' with Page. Then out of nowhere comes Beckham, who kicks a ball into the crowd.
Down on the ground there's "multicultural" dancers (meaning there was 3 black guys) with umbrellas.
Was Page sweating enough? Good lord.
Enjoyed the closing ceremony overall though, but expected a slightly better flame-extinguishing bit.

Delights & Struggles of NFP
By Rebecca Teti
Wednesdays: Natural Family Planning
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This weekly thread is a place where you can share your struggles, triumphs, links, resources, concerns, and questions about all things related to Natural Family Planning.
Please join the conversation!
Hi! My fiancé and I are preparing for marriage and starting to learn the Marquette model. Any advice or tips from you more experienced couples? Also, recommendations for a good charting app?
Christine-- Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I'm glad you're learning NFP now. It's a lot easier to learn it before you "need" it, I think! I know that Marquette has been working on developing an app, but it was supposed to be unveiled several months ago, but hasn't been yet, as far as I know. I just chart using the online charts on their website. It's clunky, but you can access it on mobile devices. I like using that charting system because it's available to the nurses who run the program in case you have questions about your chart. What I don't like about the online chart is that there's no place to note things like cramps or mood swings, which could be helpful for a doctor to know about if there are other problems. My only advice for using the model is to follow the rules closely. It has a very high success rate for those who follow all of the rules--obviously, once you start cutting corners, more pregnancies occur!
Congratulations, Christine! I don't have any advice to offer since we've used first the sympto-thermal method and then Creighton, but I started charting about six months before our wedding, and I think it was a tremendous help.
The marquette method is wonderful and I'm delighted to hear you're starting to learn it now! I recommend learning a 2nd method as well, though - in case you run out of test sticks, find yourself on a wilderness camping trip and your canoe (including monitor and test strips) tips, etc. Far out possibilities, I know, but as a more likely one your monitor could malfunction. So I suggest knowing the "basics" of another method, too, and taking a CLASS to learn them! :) (Nothing beats a real class taught by a professional who can really answer your questions!) Best of luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding! I'm sure others have told you this but, if this is a high-stress/excitement time for you, don't expect your cycles to look picture-perfect. I skipped ovulating for several months before my wedding. Its great to get into the groove of charting, though. :) Congrats again!
I was reading an article from Garry Willis from the NYTimes and wanted to get hear some feedback on some of the points he made in the article. Here is the link to the entire article if you need context. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/13/opinion/new-pope-ive-given-up-hope.html?_r=0 In general it seems he is arguing about contraception and the infallibility of the pope. The part I have never read before are in these three paragraphs: Of course, the pope is no longer a worldly monarch. For centuries he was such a ruler, with all the resources of a medieval or Renaissance prince — realms, armies, prisons, spies, torturers. But in the 19th century, when his worldly territories were wrested away by Italy, Pope Pius IX lunged toward a compensatory moral monarchy. In 1870, he elicited — from a Vatican council he called and controlled — the first formal declaration that a pope is infallible. From that point on, even when he was not making technically infallible statements, the pope was thought to be dealing in eternal truths. A gift for eternal truths is as dangerous as the gift of Midas's touch. The pope cannot undo the eternal truths he has proclaimed. When Pope Paul VI's commission of learned and loyal Catholics, lay and clerical, reconsidered the "natural law" teaching against birth control, and concluded that it could not, using natural reason, find any grounds for it, Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, the secretary of the Holy Office, told Paul that people had for years, on papal warrant, believed that using a contraceptive was a mortal sin, for which they would go to hell if they died unrepentant. On the other hand, those who followed "church teaching" were obliged to have many children unless they abstained from sex. How could Paul VI say that Pius XI, in his 1930 encyclical Casti Connubii, had misled the people in such a serious way? If he admitted it, what would happen to his own authority as moral arbiter in matters of heaven and hell? So Paul VI doubled down, adding another encyclical in 1968, Humanae Vitae, to the unrenounceable eternal truths that pile up around a moral monarch. So my questions: 1) I thought that the infallibility of the pope occurred only when he 'spoke from the chair' and that had only occurred a couple times in history. Once that he could be infallible and once regarding Mary's ascension into Heaven. So if my learning is correct, then this guys argument is way off that there was an infallibility decree on contraception? 2)Can anyone shed some light on this supposed Pope Paul VI commission that was said people should be able to use artificial contraception but according to the writer - decided instead to say we couldn't because 'If he admitted it, what would happen to his own authority as moral arbiter in matters of heaven and hell?'. Thanks for any insight - truly trying to get facts and doctrine links on this to better understand.
This article is a mess, Jeanne. The historical data is way off & I do not have time to go into detail, but if you do the research (which you can - internet allows accurate info to be at your fingertips. Seek out sites like zenit.com, ewtn.com, and the Vatican's own website which has many papal documents) for leads on where to look next. And I said LEADS... not advocating that everything on, say, ewtn.com is "automatically" correct. But you can find the proper authoritative sources. You may wish to start by reading Humanae Vitae itself, available through the Daughters of St. Paul (find their website). NOW... the other issue here is papal authority, which is founded on *scripture* not ancient monarcial (if that's a word) beliefs. Christ gave the keys to St. Peter and you can read all about it in your Bible. I'm sure you know this. The Church has ALWAYS understood this to mean the Pope is infallible when speaking on faith and morals. Contraception is immoral. What more need be said?? Natural law, by the way DOES support this, too... even if the Pope did not. Contraception can cause microscopic abortions; we can all agree that this causing-of-the-death-of-a-child is wrong. Contraception further messes with the NATURAL goal of sex-during-the-fertile-time: to make a baby. That's unnatural. If you don't want to have a baby, don't have sex during the fertile time. How hard can this be?? I mean... it can be hard to hold back from sex... but how hard can it be to *understand*?? Sometimes people have to make hard choices in life. A man may want to *demand* more money from his boss. But if he has half a brain he will know this will at the very BEST make things awkward at work & may even terminate his job. So he bites his tongue. I may want to eat a dozen donuts; I hold back because I care about my figure a bit! Why is it so hard to process holding back from having sex? Why?? It is because society has fed us the "idea" that sex is in a realm all its own -- and whereas we understand the goodness of self-control in every other area, no one seems to like the idea that they have to hold back from sex at certain times of the month REGARDLESS of how lovey-dovey they feel during those times! The Pope (society says) can't make me do that!! Heaven forbid!! Good gracious, I LOVE my husband for waiting out 10 days every month. He waited for me until we got married & he waits for me again, every month. I say it is the sweetest expression of love a man can give a woman. Denied to all women who pop the pill!!! Done now.
For J, well, infallibility is rather broader than that - otherwise the teaching on the Assumption would be infallible, but the teaching that Jesus is God wouldn't be. The definition of infallibility is: the pope, and the bishops in union with him, are protected from teaching error when teaching to the universal Church in matters of faith and morals. So a homily given at St. Peter's isn't infallible, since the pope is only preaching to that congregation; encyclicals (like Humanae Vitae) aren't exactly infallible either, except that they often are about topics that are part of the deposit of faith, so it can sometimes be sticky trying to pick out the bits that are part of that universal, constant teaching versus the parts that are more speculative or are prudential and directed to the audience of the time. For your second question, in a way, the original writer was correct. How COULD Paul VI go against the teaching of the Church? The answer being that, due to the Holy Spirit, he couldn't. The commission Paul VI had appointed to look into the question of birth control did recommend changing the teaching. Paul VI concluded that he couldn't actually do that - that it was part of that constant teaching of the Church on a question of morals and could not change. It wasn't a calculation of "let's make me and my Church "look" infallible" - it was simply the function of *being* infallible. hth!
Also, I just had to add that I think it's completely disingenuous of the writer to, apparently, be fine with the Church being infallible as long as it changes to agree with him, but to also insist that the Church clearly can't be infallible because it HASN'T changed its teaching. Also, infallibility wasn't something invented suddenly when the pope wasn't a temporal ruler anymore. That had been around since, oh, St. Peter's time, when the Church looked to him to clarify what parts of the O.T. Law the Christians had to follow.

Tri-County Animal Rescue has two adorable Dachshund mix puppies available for adoption. These babies are 15-weeks-old and both are females. We have named them Tulip and Redbud.
The father is a miniature dapple Dachshund and the mother is a dapple Dachshund mix weighing about 15 pounds. Both girls are precious and love to cuddle. We are pretty sure one of them has hearing loss. These girls should not get very big at all.
Tulip and Redbud have had two vaccines, been de-wormed and micro-chipped. They have a certificate to cover the spay surgery and rabies vaccine. Come see Tulip and Redbud from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday, noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at PetSmart , 3698 E. Franklin Blvd., Gastonia.
Tri-County Animal Rescue will also have several young Yorkies, a Boston Terrier, a Shihtzu, and four Chi/Chinese Crested pups for adoption at PetSmart this weekend.
UPDATE: Three of the Schnauzer mix pups from last week were adopted. We still have one little male. He will be looking for you this weekend to adopt him.
Holiday fireworks and other fanfare are often frightful experiences for dogs. The loud noises can hurt their sensitive ears. Frightened dogs have different reactions. Some tremble at their owners' feet, others retreat to a hiding place, some try to run off (traveling for miles), and others display bizarre behavior. Low-frequency, percussive noises such as fireworks and thunderstorms trigger wild fear in many dogs. Under such circumstances, ordinarily well-behaved pets may become aggressive, destructive and/or unpredictable.
Here are some precautions you can take to help your pets:
- Exercise utmost caution when taking a dog into new environments.
- Make sure pets are wearing well-fitted collars and securely fastened ID tags. Microchips and tattoos are great ID techniques, too. Even a back-firing car or shot in the woods can be enough to cause a dog to run off, so avoid taking any chances.
- Don't take pets to events with fireworks.
- If fireworks are being set off nearby, or if you're having guests over for a holiday celebration, find a quiet, secure place to keep your pets. Darkening the room can help. Crating is also a good idea —- place the crate in the quietest part of the home. Make sure you put safe chew toys in the crate to occupy and distract the pet during the event. You can close the curtains and turn up the radio, CD player or TV to drown out noise.
- Do not leave pets outside, even in a fenced yard, anytime when fireworks might be set off in the distance.
- Rather than cuddle a frightened dog, try to distract the dog from the disturbing noises with physical activity such as playing ball.
- Remember that scolding or coddling a scared dog will not help. Scolding will scare and confuse the animal, and coddling serves to reinforce fearful behaviors. Instead, assume your pack leader role and act confident and unbothered by the noise and activity outside.
- Make an "anxiety wrap" using an adult or children's T-shirt. Put the dog's front legs through the arm holes, then knot the hem over the dog's back. Wrapping fabric around an animal can give the pet a feeling of greater security.
- Vets can prescribe tranquilizers for frightened dogs. Also, some people find that non-prescription remedies such as Rescue Remedy calm their dogs.
- If you are going out of town for the holidays, entrust the care and feeding of pets to an adult friend or a boarding kennel you know very well.
Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties, committed to ending pet homelessness in this area. Volunteers and donations are needed to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals.

More pets are lost on the Fourth of July than any other time of year. It's a heartbreaking scenario for pet parents, but swift action and major networking can increase the odds that you will be reunited with your cat or dog.
We recently surveyed more than 1,000 households with pets across the country to find out if they had lost a dog or cat in the past five years—and if they did, did they find that pet and where did they look?
Of those pet guardians surveyed, 15 percent had lost a dog or a cat in the past five years, and 85 percent of those lost dogs and cats were recovered.
The study's findings suggest the following are key when recovering a lost pet:
- Searching immediately when one knows the pet is lost;
- Searching within the neighborhood first through visual searches as well as posters and online; and
- Checking local shelters from the first day your pet is lost.
If your pet is lost, it's important not to panic. Enlist the help of all of your friends and neighbors and hit the streets! Read our extended article on Finding a Lost Pet for more information and helpful hints.
A few days back there was a discussion here about stolen pets (dogs) from cars and yards. Clearly microchips are a great idea, but I think tattoos would be even better. I took my cats with me to France where I had to stay for a year or so and where tattoos (and number registration are mandatory). So my Siamese got their tattoos: done under general anesthesia inside the ear. No pain and highly visible. No need to scan, impossible to remove, and easier to inflict a criminal penalty (IMO) for keeping-buying-selling a pet that is lost, or for a laboratory to accept any animal.
Please someone get back to me, my dog was stolen from me, and he's microchipped, how do i go about this situation

COMMERCE City, Colo. – The LA Galaxy reserves picked up their third straight victory on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids reserves at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Chandler Hoffman provided the goal in the – minute when he finished a square ball provided by Kenney Walker. Hoffman now has five goals with the reserves this season. Colorado threatened late in the first half as well as periodically throughout the second stanza, but could not find the equalizer.
LA is now 4-1-2 this year in MLS Reserve League play. The Galaxy's next reserve match is on Sept. 1 against the San Jose Earthquakes.
"It was a really fought collective effort. The altitude certainly played a factor, in the first half, we certainly played well and then there was a stretch of about 15 minutes where they were pressing. Those are the times that on the road, you have to have the right mentality and weather the storm—and we did. Fortunately, we got the goal and went up right before halftime," said Galaxy assistant coach and reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo. "We were really solid in the second half with the exception of a play or two. We showed a lot of character in how we managed the lead and held on. It was a really important three points and well deserved."
It was a banner Gold Cup tournament for Landon Donovan and one that ended in a championship.
Donovan provided the assist on Brek Shea's goal in the 68th minute minute to seal the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title and the 11th straight victory for the U.S with a 1-0 victory over Panama. For his five goals and seven assists, Donovan was awarded the tournament's Golden Ball while also tying for the Golden Boot with Panama's Gabriel Torres and U.S. forward Chris Wondolowski.
Omar Gonzalez also made a brief appearance in the match, coming on in the 89th as the U.S. closed out the game.
Donovan and Gonzalez will now head to Kansas City for the MLS All-Star Game before rejoining the Galaxy at sometime next week.
Highlights of the game are below.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – It was different, it was unique, and it was even a little surreal at times, but Pablo Mastroeni made his return to Dick's Sporting Goods Park, not in the burgundy of the Colorado Rapids, but the blue-white-and-gold of the LA Galaxy.
The 36-year-old midfielder went 77 minutes in the 2-0 Galaxy defeat and exited to cheers as well as few standing ovations from the Rapids faithful. It wasn't the midfielder's finest performance as LA's midfield struggled to take charge of the game and Mastroeni picked up a first half yellow card from referee Juan Guzman for dissent.
Mastroeni admitted after the LA defeat that the experience was a strange one, even for a player as experienced as he is.
"After 12 years at this club, it's kind of surreal. I had a hard time sleeping thinking about it. I actually woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I had a game with the Rapids," said Mastroeni. "It was the most bizarre, surreal kind of experience, but I think when the whistle blows, everything kind of goes out the window. It's all that anticipation stuff that's emotional and unsettling.
"Once the whistle blew, we had a job to do, and I didn't even think about it for a second," Mastroeni added. "It was good to get out there and get through this process that was inevitable, and move on."
As he looks ahead to the second half of the season with his new team, Mastroeni has a recommendation on what LA must fix in order to improve.
"We made our own job more difficult [against Colorado]. I think overall the effort was there," said Mastroeni. "We've just got to clean up a few things and keep working on concentrating on set pieces."
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- A few notes and links following the LA Galaxy's 2-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids.
My Three Points to the match can be found here while my sidebar on the result and LA's road struggles is here.
Match notes are below...
*The Galaxy are 3-8-1 away from home this season. When you eliminate their match against Chivas USA, they are 2-8-1 away from StubHub Center.
*LA's last win away from StubHub Center came on May 15 against the Philadelphia Union
*LA has conceded seven goals on set pieces this year (Four off indirect free kicks and three off corners).
* Former Colorado Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni faced off against one of his former clubs (Miami Fusion or Colorado Rapids) for the first time in his 16-year MLS career.
*LA are 3-2-0 in their last five games.
*The Galaxy are 2-7-0 when allowing the first goal.
*The Galaxy take on the Rapids reserves on Sunday at 10 a.m. PT.
*LA will now take a two-week break from MLS play due to the Guinness International Championship Cup.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- There were no smiles in the LA Galaxy locker room after their 2-0 defeat to the Colorado, but following the defeat, LA head coach Bruce Arena took a moment to hand former LA forward Edson Buddle with his 2012 MLS Cup Championship ring.
Buddle performed well against his former club in a 90 minute shift that saw him set up Dillon Powers' goal in the 41st minute. Although Buddle led his current team to victory over his old side, he admitted after the game that facing LA didn't factor into his thinking.
"I take every game seriously. It was good to see familiar faces, but it always feels good to win," said Buddle. "We did what we're supposed to tonight, which is win on our home field. I think that the team is motivated and we're glad to get three points."
A photo with Buddle and his ring is below..

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's quotes from LA's disappointing 2-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids…
(On his overall thoughts from the performance…)
ARENA: "We got beat today. We deserved to lose."
(On if this was the sloppiest game so far…)
ARENA: "I wouldn't say sloppy, but they physically manhandled us. They won the battles most of the day. It was a really poor goal for us to give up at the end of the first half. It was a big play and obviously not a good way to start the second half by letting them create the second goal. Overall, we deserved to get beat. "
(On his disappointment…)
ARENA: "The first half, if we go in 0-0 and we're in good position. I'm very disappointed with the defending on that set piece at the end of the half. It was obviously a big play in the game."
(On the team's tendency to give up goals at the end of the half…)
ARENA: "We have a habit of giving up goals at the end of the half. There's no question about that. That wasn't good."
(On not being able to slow Dillon Powers…)
ARENA: "It's because they won the first ball. The second ball sailed to him a lot. We weren't able to do enough against their three forwards. They won the battle against us all day."
(On what he told the team after a game like this…)
ARENA: "I told them that we lost too many battles on the field today. We have to get ready for the next one."
(On the team's poor road form…)
ARENA: "I don't really care. That's not a factor at this point."
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- The LA Galaxy dropped their second match in three games on Saturday as they fell 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids.
The Rapids took the lead in the 35th minute when Hendry Thomas cut found space on a Dillon Powers corner to head the ball past Cudicini. Just two minutes from the start of second half, the Galaxy conceded again when Powers broke free after a pass from Edson Buddle and fired a shot into the LA net.
LA is now 3-8-1 on the road this season. Their last win on the road came on June 23 against Chivas USA.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- The LA Galaxy take the field this evening at Dick's Sporting Goods Park when they take on the Colorado Rapids.
*Saturday's match will be an emotional one for Pablo Mastroeni who will take on his former club, the Colorado Rapids. Mastroeni, who admits that he's discovered a new "spark" with LA, will be facing one of his former teams for the first time in his 16 year MLS career.
*Carlo Cudicini is quietly entering his best form this season, but can he build on it against Colorado.
*The question of who fills in for center back Omar Gonzalez has been a major one around the Galaxy camp this week, but it appears that Tommy Meyer will get the nod.
*With Robbie Rogers likely out for Saturday, it seems that Marcelo Sarvas will step into his spot on the wide yet again.
*Gyasi Zardes scored a highlight reel goal in the win against Vancouver, but he'll be asked to put in another solid performance against Colorado
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan offers his preview to the match.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the game
DILLON POWERS vs. PABLO MASTROENI
The young gun against the old salt. Mastroeni was an important mentor for Powers prior to being dealt to LA and he'll face off against the young midfielder on Saturday. Expect Mastroeni to be physical with his former midfield apprentice as he looks to limit any chances that he has going forward.
GYASI ZARDES vs. DREW MOOR
Gyasi Zardes has displayed a penchant for getting involved in the attack as of late as he's rattled off plenty of shots in recent starts, but with a goal under his belt last week, he may be on the cusp of breaking out. Look for Moor to attempt to limit Zardes' chances as he is particularly astute with his positioning and will seek to cut out any potential shot opportunities.
MARCELO SARVAS vs. MARVELL WYNNE
A battle of technical ability and sheer athleticism will likely determine the Galaxy's ability to create down the left side. Sarvas' ball skills far and away outweigh Wynne's but the right back's sheer breakneck speed make him a tough challenge for the Galaxy attacker.
Cudicini; Franklin, DeLaGarza, Meyer, Dunivant; Jimenez, Juninho, Mastroeni, Sarvas; Villarreal, Zardes
In a preview for LAGalaxy.com, head coach Bruce Arena, midfielder Pablo Mastroeni, defender Tommy Meyer, and forward Jose Villarreal preview Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids.
Check it out below...
The U.S. National Team will be without Jurgen Klinsmann for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final on Sunday against Panama after a CONCACAF Disciplinary Committee suspended the U.S. boss for his actions in the closing minutes of the Americans' semifinal victory over Honduras.
The Disciplinary Committee made their ruling on Friday evening after evaluating the referee report following the semifinal. According to CONCACAF, the suspension levied by the Disciplinary Committee can not be appealed.
Without Klinsmann, Southern California resident and U.S. assistant Martin Vasquez will take the reins for the Americans in the final.
Think the Americans can overcome Klinsmann's absence?

The results of the Mississippi Curriculum Test are in and both the New Albany schools and the Union County schools did pretty well.
Dr. Charles Garrett, New Albany superintendent, said, "Compared to last year, our district tested above the state average on everything. Of 18 tested areas, we improved in 12 from last year."
And Ken Basil, Union County superintendent, said the county schools also showed improvement in 12 of the 18 areas.
"The teachers and administrators who have worked tirelessly in the last couple of years to help students improve should be commended," Basil said. "We're proud of the progress our students have made in a short time, but would like to challenge students and teachers to raise the bar again…."
Basil said the county schools math scores "were not what we would like them to be. It's the main thing district-wide that we need to work on."
New Albany had a dip in some math scores, too, but still had the second-highest scores in the state, according to Jackie Ford, New Albany assistant superintendent.
Some critics of standardized testing say that test results do not reflect the actual situation in the schools. We understand there is some "teaching to the test," but we think standardized testing is important. And we do not discount the results.
We think it would be easier to dismiss the importance of test scores, whether on the state curriculum test, or national tests such as the ACT or the SAT, when districts are at or above the state and national average on those standardized tests.
In the meantime, we applaud the progress our schools are making and the good test results they have achieved. We know both the city and county schools are working hard to move the bar even higher.
