Today, Iranian state television is reporting that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would consider an American request to open a diplomatic office in Tehran. Iran's officials have been debating whether to allow such an outpost in part because the Washington Post in late June broke the story that U.S. diplomats were thinking of making a request to establish an interest section there. Iran currently has its own interest section in Washington, run out of the Pakistani embassy.
Will the State Department preempt the fierce McCain-Obama debate on talking with the mullahs by going out on its own and setting up an office in Iran? And why open a channel when we severed relations in 1979 after Iranians took over our embassy and held our diplomats hostage?
It's all about regime change. "We're always looking for ways to be able to reach out to the Iranian people," said Tom Casey, State Department deputy spokesman, last month. Arthur Waldron suggests we open our door, offer pistachios (with a little whisky for those so inclined), and listen to Iranians who want to talk. This, he argues persuasively, will drive the country's theocrats nuts. Most Iranians have a good image of the United States, notes Time's Azadeh Moaveni. Why? There are various reasons, but perhaps the most interesting is that they detest their leaders and their leaders detest us.
Washington has used its interest section in Havana to reach out to Cubans, even installing a Times Square-like moving electronic sign that aggravated Fidel Castro to no end. Why shouldn't we also do all we can to irritate the ayatollahs through an office in their capital?
Of course, talking to the common folk in Tehran will not by itself bring down the theocracy. Yet it could be one of our most effective tools in undermining a government that considers us an enemy. In any event, an American interest section in Tehran will be one more thing for the country's insecure leaders to worry about. And who knows, maybe even a few of them will end up in line to get a Scotch-and perhaps to defect to the greatest nation on earth.

My mother used to make these for my brother and me when we were kids and had to bring in birthday treats to school. I had extra cake batter left over from making Cake in a Jar (coming soon), and remembered these beauties from my childhood.
They're a might bit of effort, but well worth the final results. Enjoy!
Step 1: Ingredients
- Your favorite cake recipe or mix
- Ice cream cones
- Frosting
- Sprinkles, jimmies, etc. Something for decorating
- Opt. - an empty egg carton to use as a cone holder for baking/decorating/transporting
Step 2: Assemble
- Cut bottoms out of empty paper/cardboard egg carton to hold cones
- Place empty cones into holder
- Fill 2/3 full will batter (slightly more than pictured)
- Bake in the egg carton at 350oF (175oC) for about 30 minutes. It won't burn the paperboard. But make sure to cut off the top half of the egg carton or the inks might start to smoke.
- Test doneness with a long wooden skewer. Even when baked on top, they might be a bit undercooked in the bottom of the cone. I personally don't mind this, but most people do.

Thanks for using instructables!
they are flat and i did make a mess, but they are damn tasty anyway ! a great for adults and kids alike !
PS I was so excited about how much the kids liked them I am posting my first ever comment.

At the very most, the carton might get more brittle with the heat, but I truly doubt it.
She would keep the tin foil from batch to batch too instead of throwing it out...resuing it again and again.
If I recall, she only filled these partially too, and the they didn't poof up like the picture either, but instead, we piped the 'soft serve' like icing on top.
I loved putting the sprinkles on!

Otherwise the meaning of vessel and vase is somewhat interchageable, vessel can mean bowl or tube so the term vessel is often used to describe a vase that is more pot-like in shape, or has a pot-like segment with a fluted top while "vase" in its specific sense is used to describe the very narrow tube-like structure people use to hold single flowers.
I found this super duper cheap VASE on clearance that you saw here on my summer mantle. Although not attracted to the newspaper motif, only cause it was written in latin pygmy, I bought it because of it's shape and size.
I picked up 2 packages of 3/8 inch jute rope at the Home Depot. I began wrapping the vase with the rope and securing with my hot glue gun.
I wrapped the rope super tight and close so that the latin pygmy would not be visible. Continue wrapping until you are at the opening. Cut off any stray pieces with a pair of scissors.
I decided to embellish my
vessel vase with a star fish to fit my coastal mantle theme. I just hot glued that to the center of one of the sides.
Right now it has some dried tall grass in it for the summer but I will probably change it out and remove the starfish and make it more seasonal..... which means I am sure you will see my vase again.
So is it a Vase or Vessel?
Grateful for~
my twins and celebrating their 5th birthday!
PS- Because you asked...I got the bicycle on the mantle at Hobby Lobby last year in the Seasonal Spring area.

Great beginner shoe
I've had two pairs of these the first pair the toe split only after a month, and the second pair are going great. These shoes stretch a lot. I wear a size 9 street shoe and got a 7 and they were super tight at first but they broke in great. These shoes will die your feet red, but that's not a biggie. These shoes are great for beginners. They are fairly sticky and good flexibility. I would recommend these to any beginner climber.

It has been a rough couple of years for tomato plants. In the northeast, the blight of 2009 wiped out a massive number of plants, and for those of us who didn't rip the entire stalk and all of the roots out of the ground, the subsequent year was also fruitless. Luckily, it seems to have passed, and this year, any tomato issues in my garden can be attributed to my occasional lack of watering and aversion to weeding.
The folks at Treehugger have us covered with the answers to some other common tomato quandries. What does it mean when the leaves turn yellow? Phosphorus or Calcium deficiency - an easy fix with some fertilizer and watering. How about splitting skin on the fruits? That is the result of overwatering - another easy fix.

text: I found the plights of all the underdogs in this novel to be heart-rending, more sharply brought home by the cruelty of seemingly everyone else. Bobby Garfield, Stokely Jones, Carol Gerber, Ted Brautigan-- all lost something. Good people with unfortunate lives are the most inspiring to me in that they remain good people. I've met precious few people like this outside the novels of my favorite authors, and all have touched my lives. I've always had a lot to say in life, and not many opportunities to just say it already, dammit. Even when I'm asked, I'm terrified. Terrified of my family, of my friends, of something greater than me that both awes and terrifies. This novel was inspiring because Stokely Jones, old Rip-Rip with his precious chip on his crutch-hardened shoulder, dragging his legs around campus like it meant something to him, said what he had to say. He said it with black spray-paint, not caring who found him out, not caring if his message was washed from the bricks in the next couple of days anyway. With that sparrow-track on the back of his jacket, he did what most can't-- he spoke his mind. I'm envious.

Sanyo's eneloop pedal-assist hybrid electric bicycle (MSRP $2,299.95) could quite literally change the way you travel. You
can pedal it just as a normal bike. Or, allow this synergetic
three-speed regenerative bicycle to sense when you need help on tougher
terrain and give you a boost of power. Since it recharges along the
way, it's definitely a greener, healthier alternative to consider for
any short distance trip up to 46 miles.

From the guys who brought you this fun video about JWST, here's one telling you exactly why NASA rocks. As a European, I should add that ESA is also awesome! Here's hoping a cute European geek (m/f) put its on video.
NASA = tax dollars well spent
Pretty solar storms
I don't usually envy people who live in places like Iceland or Northern Canada – cold, dark and desolate places. But I am insanely jealous of them for one reason: the Aurora Borealis. Aurorae light up their skies, when charged particles streaming out from the Sun slam into the Earth's magnetic field, get accelerated along the field lines towards the poles, creating these luminescent showers of light as they interact with the atoms in the upper atmosphere.
… and you can watch the ISS!
Don't freak out that the ISS is watching you – just wave back! A new service called Twisst has just been launched on Twitter to send users alerts of ISS passes at their location, based on the location information they have listed on their profile*. ISS twitter feeds already existed of course, from the OverTwitter project, which has twitter feeds for satellite passes over many world cities. An aside to OverTwitter is OverRSS, which allows users to sign up to an RSS feed of satellite passes for any location of your choice. Twisst combines the two by converting the location registered to the Twitter profile to co-ordinates, and automatically sends the alert at the right time for the right place. All you need to do is follow @twisst. [Read more…]
The ISS is watching you
This week the Big Picture ran a series of pictures taken from the ISS looking down at Earth. It's a great reminder that the Earth is in fact a very beautiful place and we should be honoured to be able to live here and experience it. Seeing the variety of colours and landscapes from the sky is a solitary consolation prize for spending so much time in airplanes. Being a total volcano nut, of course the pictures of the recent eruption of the Sarychev Peak volcano in the Russian Kuril Islands are my favourites. [Read more…]
Welcome back Atlantis, good luck Frank!
Welcome back Atlantis
After a fascinating 13-day mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, Space Shuttle Atlantis and its crew touched down safely at Edwards Air Force Base on Sunday 24 May. Welcome home Atlantis! The mission to repair and upgrade Hubble was closely followed by space and astronomy enthusiasts around the world (yup that includes me), thanks to the great coverage on NASA TV.
A welcoming ceremony is taking place today at 4 pm Central Time, watch it live here.
I'm delighted the astronauts got the job done and Hubble is ready for its final stint. Unfortunately I had to miss the landing as I was on a little jaunt around Britain to attend some meetings and catch up with friends and family.
Great also to have Mike Massimino back on live twitter, telling us all about the weirdness of being back on Earth.
Good luck Frank!
Three astronauts will take off from the Baikonur cosmodrome tomorrow for the International Space Station. Representing the European Space Agency is Belgian Frank De Winne, who will also become the first European commander of the ISS during his 6-month stay. Good luck Frank!

I am a waiter, casual to fine dining. Just wondering if anyone in Chicago knows, or works in the service industry could help me get my foot in the door when I come up. Hopefully I will be living in the downtown area. I plan to sell my car before I come, since I hear It's more of a pain to have one. Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.

It still has not been determined whether discrimination was a factor in the Oct. 22 firing of 2nd floor Carey KA Warren McCreary. McCreary. Saginaw senior, was dismissed when he returned after leaving for a weekend against the advice of Kimberly Williams, Carey Residence Hall Director, McCreary said in an earlier interview. McCreary brought concerns about his dismissal to CMlTs Affirmative Action office. Affirmative Action Officer Marshall Rose said Tuesday he is uncertain when the investigation will conclude. "Hopefully, we will be able to put this matter to rest soon, but there is no specific date," Rose said. Because the investigation still is pending. Rose said he could not comment any further. Although McCreary was Carey Hall's only black RA, McCreary said he does not think he was the victim of racial discrimination. However, he said the reasons for his dismissal were unwarranted. In an earlier interview, McCreary said he was told he was fired because he waa not easily accessible to residents and had poor floor programming. "I never got any type of letter or evaluation sheet saying she (Williams) was not happy with the job I was doing before. I was never placed on probation or anything, so I had no awareness of a problem," McCreary said in an earlier interview. Laura Gonzales, director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said Tuesday her office was not involved in the case. She said Affirmative Action and the Housing Office still are the main offices involved. "Housing and Affirmative Action are both aware ofthe situation. I think he (McCreary) has taken the situation to the appropriate channels," Gonzales said. Gonzales said she did not know all the facts surrounding the incident so she did not feel comfortable commenting on the situation. "I really can't comment because there is so much information regarding the situation, and at this point it is difficult to know what is going on," Gonzales said.

And as Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) awareness week continues at CMU, at least one local resident opposes the bill. Engler, 99th District state House representative, will not return to office in January to re-introduce the legislation. But even though House Bill 5279 did not get out ofthe Senate Public and Mental Health Committee at the group's last scheduled meeting Tuesday, the concept probably won't die. The legislation would allow judges or local health department officials to order AIDS testing for persons arrested for prostitution, solicitation, gross indecency between males and in intravenous drug-related cases. Donald Monta, legislative research analyst for the House Republican staff, said the bill probably will be re-introduced in 1987. Seven other GOP-sponsored AIDS bills, which are in various House and Senate committees, also probably will be back, he said.

ST. LOUIS (KPLR) – Adults rushed outside to enjoy the weekend snowfall. For some, the snow brought childhood memories. For others, it brought much-needed revenue.
Why is Larry Stacy out in the cold, early Saturday morning?
"Because I walk everyday, every morning."
Like a bunch of kids, a bunch of grown-ups enjoyed a snow day in Jefferson Barracks Park in South County. So, did a dog named Seamus.
"He loves to get out in the weather," said Seamus' owner, Tom Lane. "The park his favorite place to go."
"As a kid, we always played in the snow," Deb Deterding explained. "My dad had a tractor and he would hook the toboggan up to the back of it and put as many neighborhood kids on that toboggan and pull us through the streets of Red Bud, Illinois. Yeah, it was awesome."
A little further south in DeSoto, a lot of grownups still had to work. But, two words describe why they were happy to see all this snow anyway: Ice Melt.
"We had quite a supply," said Jack Morris, cashier for Hamel & Rowe Ace Hardware. "You have to order it pretty much in advance, and it's beginning to sell now."
In this unseasonably warm winter, four inches of snow heated up sales of sleds and shovels.
"We had one out here called The Beast," he laughed. "I told them you can get all your children and your mother-in-law in the sled at the same time."
"This is God's gift to mankind," Lane looked over the park, with his arms outstretched. "Everyone should get out and enjoy it."

Wind: 6 mph
By Rachel Goff
When Mad River Valley Planning District (MRVPD) director Joshua Schwartz says "The Valley is old," he's not talking about town charters dating back to the 1700s.
Last month, the MRVPD released its 2013 Data Report for the towns of Waitsfield, Warren and Fayston, all of which post median ages much higher than state and national averages. In 2010, the median age of people in Waitsfield was 45.9, and in Warren and Fayston it was 45.2. The median age in Vermont was 41.5 and the median age for the country was 37.2.
The Valley's older-than-average population was brought to residents' attention earlier last fall at the Vermont Downtown Action Team (V-DAT) workshop in Warren, during which discussion turned to the issue of affordability, which is decreasing due to the town's proximity to increasingly popular ski areas. Already, many longtime residents have seen their children grow up and move away because they can't afford to live in what is now a very wealthy area.
"How do you make a living in this town?" one resident asked, explaining that many who live in Warren have jobs that allow them to work from home, via the internet, and that the town is perhaps lacking in other employment opportunities.
Indeed, of the people who live in Warren, Waitsfield and Fayston, 23 percent are self-employed, V-DAT project coordinator Tripp Muldrow reported, which shows that "if you're living here, you're making some pretty deliberate choices ... to be here," he said. Self-employed residents "can live anywhere," Muldrow said, but they're choosing to live in The Valley because "they're choosing quality of life."
Quality of life can be expensive, however, and an ongoing economic development study identifies a significant out-migration of 18- to 34-year-olds in The Valley, perhaps due to affordability, Schwartz said. The area could also be lacking in housing for young people, he said, who are often competing with The Valley's seasonal skier population for condos, apartments and other rental opportunities.
The out-migration of 18- to 34-year-olds has implications for jobs in the hospitality and leisure industry, Schwartz said, which is the largest in The Valley and are more typically held by young people. A more detailed analysis of the effects of their out-migration will be included in a presentation of the economic development study this summer.
While there are fewer 18- to 34-year-olds in The Valley, however, the number of residents 35 to 45 years old "has increased substantially over the past two decades," Schwartz noted. The 35- to 45-year-old age group usually consists of families with young children and its increase is reflected in steady or increasing enrollments at Waitsfield, Warren and Fayston Elementary Schools at a time when school enrollment is decreasing statewide. The Valley is losing 18- to 34-year-olds, but it's getting them back perhaps later on in life, "whether they grew up here or not," Schwartz said.

Trans-Sib Trains
3rd Trans-Sib Wrap Up: Mongolian Dreams
Off your typical backpacking circuit, arriving in Mongolia at dawn via Train 362 was shock to the system.
2nd Trans Siberian Wrap-Up: Russia to Mongolia Border Crossing
Dispatches from the longest border crossing of all time, from Siberia to Mongolia.
1st Trans-Siberian Wrap Up: Moscow to Irkusk
After almost 2 weeks of train travel through Russia's cities and Siberia's wilderness, I'm at a loss about where to start this wrap up. Given that I'm off again this evening (overnight train to Ulan-Ude, Siberia) I'll do a bullet point wrap up for each place we've visited, and the trains as a whole.
To Russia With Love
There is something utterly spellbinding about the Trans-Siberian Railway. The brutally hot summers in the Gobi desert, the terrifyingly cold winters in Siberia and the sheer massiveness of 10 time zones in going from Point A to Point B all contribute to the magnetic appeal of the trip.

Hot young college studs go for their entrance physicals! Deep anal penetration, anal probing, vacuum pumping, elector-cock therapy and MORE!
I had him take off his shirt and I just did a general exam. I check his heart, lungs and took his blood pressure and took his temperature using an anal temperature thermometer. I was really surprised that this clinic still uses this type of thermometers but I was told its the most accurate form of taking a person temperature. I then had him remove his pants, leaving his underwear on and I took his measurements and weight. I had Ashton get back onto the exam table and I started looking and examining his knee area. He had placed a first aid band around his knee so I unwrapped it and took some messaging oils and worked it into his knee then messaging my hands up to his balls. I was working my way up and then decided to be so bold and to start feeling his balls and working on the shaft of his cock. His cock grew in my hand as it hardened and then placed his cock into my warm mouth and started sucking his cock keeping Ashton hard and turned-on! I did this for a while and since he didn't min

Chile: "a successful earthquake"
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
by Sean Hawkey
Six months ago a massive earthquake hit Chile, it was 8.8 on the Moment magnitude scale, much bigger than the 7.2 earthquake that devasted Haiti the previous month. It released about 500 times the amount of energy released by the quake in Haiti where 230,000 people died. But only 521 people died in Chile.
Michel Cartes, architect working on the ACT response in Chile tells us why it was a "successful earthquake".
There are important reasons why there were relatively few deaths in Chile: the epicentre was closer to a densely populated area in Haiti, and on softer ground that carried more deadly force of the earthquake.
But "there were also social and human reasons that explain why relatively far fewer people died in Chile".
Put simply, "Chile was much better prepared" says Cartes.
Building regulations saved lives
"We say that earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do" explains Cartes. "A big part of preparation for earthquakes is in building regulations, controlling the safety of buildings".
"Chile has good building codes and most buildings are built to high standards. Plans, calculations and buildings are inspected. So when earthquakes come we are ready for them, and the buildings sway the way they are designed to, which is to allow the people to escape".
"The buildings were damaged and will have to be demolished, but in most cases they didn't collapse" says Cartes "that's why we had a relatively successful earthquake compared to Haiti".
Haiti has effectively no building codes: most buildings are built without engineers, regulations or inspections. Even public buildings like hospitals and schools, and the Presidential Palace, simply crumbled. 13 of the 15 government ministry buildings collapsed.
No building regulations, no engineering and no inspection caused death, and will cause death in the future. But a lot of building will continue in this way in Haiti because it is the poorest country in Latin America. Chile on the other hand is the richest country in Latin America.
Earthquake preparedness and drills saved lives
Chile is quite used to seismic activity, Haiti was not. There was no living Haitian who had experienced an earthquake in Port-au-Prince, people didn't know what to do, they panicked.
"It's not like that in Chile" says Cartes, "people in Chile are brought up with earthquake drills for evacuation and protection. When the earthquake struck people got under doorframes and away from shattering windows".
Tsunami consciousness and distrust of official announcements saved lives
Most of the people who died in Chile died because of the tsunami. The Chilean earthquake launched three big waves. When the first hit the Chilean coast it was an eight metre wall of water travelling at around 500 miles an hour, the speed of an airliner.
People who live by Chile's long coast, fishing communities, are conscious of the risk of tsunamis, and know that they follow earthquakes. They saved themselves by evacuating.
The Chilean President, based on completely erroneous information from the Chilean military, announced on radio and television that there was not going to be a tsunami, and that people could return to their houses. But distrust of this announcement among the fishing communities saved a great many lives, they left their houses and went to higher ground and stayed there. "Most of the people who died in the tsunami were tourists" explains Cartes, they were visitors who didn't have a great awareness or fear of the risks of tsunami.
ACT and disaster risk reduction
Disaster Risk Reduction activities form a major part of ACT Alliance's work in areas of risk. Participatory vulnerability assessments help communities to prepare to reduce vulnerabilities, to prepare for disasters and to prevent disasters. Long-term development work aims to make communities more resilient to disasters when they do happen.
ACT members Centro Ecuménico Diego de Medellin and FASIC are members of the Inter-eclesial Committee for Emergencies in Chile along with their long-term partners SEPADE, EPES and IELCH. Michel Cartes, quoted here, is working with SEPADE.

On Our Radar: Feminist News Roundup
Here's all the news that's on our radar today:
• A World Bank report released this week finds that roughly 30 percent of women have experienced physical or sexual violence at the hands of their partners. There is a light at the end of this depressing tunnel: the study also shows that the strongest correlation for a women's autonomy is her level of education. [The Atlantic]
• Pentagon officials announced this week that they're considering transferring the incarcerated Chelsea Manning from a military facility to a civilian one, reasoning that she "can't be given medical treatment specific to her status as a trans woman." Manning's attorney, David Coombs, has publicly expressed skepticism about the benefit to Ms. Manning. [Autostraddle]

• In other women's health-related news, a recent survey shows that women across income levels said they "couldn't find time" to go to the doctor. Unsurprisingly, poor women were more likely to cite difficulty getting time off work, getting childcare, or finding transportation. [The Atlantic]

The Other Woman
I haven't seen it, but according to this NPR article The Other Woman does not pass the Bechdel test (and is generally pretty awful):
I agreed to see this with my mom this weekend, and I haven't been that horrified in a theater in a long time. I thought I knew what I was getting into and had braced myself, but it was still shocking just how many offensive tropes they crammed into 2 hours. It also contained a surprising amount of physical violence as comedy. Bechdel test or not, this movie absolutely HATES women.

'Round about this time of year I start to long for an escape, and my daydreams inevitably lead me to the beach. I don't care where in the world I land, so long as there is surf, sun and sand. Give me a gauzy sundress, a skimpy bikini, and some SPF 500, and I am golden (well, pasty white, but you get the idea). Bonus points if there's an airy beach house for midday naps.
Seaside stripes get a girly tweak with a ruffled tank. Crisp white linens--whether in the form of a man's button down or freshly washed sheets--flutter in the breeze. I always wear sunglasses outdoors, but with the equinox drawing near, I sometimes take them off and revel in the squinty quality of the sun.
Blue and white are not the only maritime colors this girl can get behind. Mix rattan and natural linen with the greens and taupes of beach grass and a juicy pop of semaphore red. Madras plaid looks fresh on a broad-brimmed hat--and is reflected in the oversized brown gingham of the chairs.
Another unexpected twist! Sailor stripes are the hero of blogland, and here they get a graphic update in black and white instead of the traditional blue. Golden hues, from a nipped-in belt to bent cane furniture, call to mind a colonial veranda.
Turquoise and coral versus periwinkle and peach. The former is a tried-and-true combination. The latter, a softer twist on the classic. The former brings to mind a vivid tropical paradise. The latter pays homage to the flat, scrubby isles off the coast of Georgia. Either way, you can't go wrong.
One of my favorite summers was spent in Nice before my final year of high school. Sunbathing (topless!) every afternoon; visiting the homes of the great artists (Matisse! Chagal! Picasso!) and witnessing firsthand the incredible light that was their inspiration; learning from the French that simple (a sublime dress! a bare window!) is always best. Am I right or am I right?

Limitations on Statutory Damages
Archived Content
Information identified as archived on the Web is for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It has not been altered or updated after the date of archiving. Web pages that are archived on the Web are not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards.
June 2008
For all Canadians
The purpose of this information sheet is to give general introductory information about current copyright law and to explain what would change under the proposed amendments. If you need to know how the law applies to a particular situation, please seek advice from a lawyer.
Current law
- Currently, copyright owners may seek a number of means, including monetary compensation, when suing someone for copyright infringement. When suing for money, they have a choice:
- they can seek compensation for the losses they have suffered as a result of the infringement, where they're able to prove them (actual damages); or
- they can ask the court to award an amount between $500 and $20 000 for each work infringed (statutory damages)
What the proposed statutory damages provision would allow
- A court could only award $500 in statutory damages against an individual for all private use infringements identified in the lawsuit.
For example, if you downloaded five movies without authorization:
- Under current law, you could be liable for up to $100 000 in statutory damages
- Under the proposed bill, you would be liable for $500
- Once a copyright owner decides to sue an individual for $500 in statutory damages, all other private use infringements preceding the lawsuit may be compensated only by actual damages (even if these infringements involve the copyright material of others).
- Statutory damages are not available solely for the act of hacking a digital lock for private, non-infringing uses of copyright material. (See also "Technological Measures (TMs) or Digital Locks Information Sheet".)
- However, if you hack a digital lock to enable any kind of infringement, (e.g., hacking the anti-copying mechanisms of a computer game to make an unauthorized copy), you would be subject for up to $20 000 in statutory damages.
- For infringements that are not for private purposes, the current range of statutory damages (between $500 and $20 000 for each work infringed) would remain available. For example:
- Posting music using the Internet or peer-to-peer (P2P) technology.
- Posting a copyright-protected work, such as a picture or video, onto a website such as Facebook or YouTube.
- Selling, renting or giving away a device (e.g., iPod) that contains copies of music that were originally copied onto the device by you for private purposes.
- In all cases, the court would retain the power to award punitive damages to ensure that there is an appropriate deterrent against future infringement.

For the past five years Myquillyn Smith, 'The Nester,' has been encouraging women to embrace the home they are in. She's known throughout the blogging world as 'The Nester' and writes a blog called 'Nesting Place,' a site from which she wants readers to leave with hope, motivation, and inspiration for their homes. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and three boys, their hockey paraphernalia, and plenty of brown dog hair. Everything in their house is washable, destroyable and imperfect. They have moved thirteen times in eighteen years of marriage. They are renters. And they love their home. Myquillyn is a regular contributor at (in)courage, and you can visit her blog at: www.thenester.com
Recommend: Yes
A gem for anyone in love with their home or their home to be!
Where to begin? This was one of the easiest and most enjoyable reads I've had the pleasure of reviewing thus far. It gets a five/five star rating and I highly recommend it. The end.
...Just kidding. Y'all know I'm long-winded ;)
While perusing the BookLook available books I came across this one. Since I literally breathe anything decorating-related, I was thrilled to find this book. I was in for a great surprise, as this is so much more than a "how to make your house pretty" book. It really took me by surprise.
Since I apparently live in a cave with no TV and a limited understanding of the potential of the interwebs (did I say that right?), I was unaware that the author of this book also runs a popular blog with lots of followers and amazing decorating/home ideas and advice. This book chronicles her journey from house to home, literally, 13 different places of residence. It also includes tips for renters, tips on choosing which type of home you'd like to create, and of course, beautiful pictures of her amazingly beautiful lived-in home. *swoon*
In addition to all the money-saving tips, the author suggests finding beauty in where you are and not living for "the next house". It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to have mismatched pillows, and it's okay to not live in perfection. What matters is making a home where you and the people you love feel comfortable. She speaks about embracing things in all their majesty, from ugly carpet to cookie cutter plastic. There really is beauty in everything, you just have to try and see it.
Hi, my name is Christina, and I live in a crappy rental.
That's why this book really struck a chord with me. Coming from a fellow renter really meant something to me, she understood the plight of the everyday renter...not being able to do whatever you want with a space, maybe not having the resources or not wanting to spend the money on someone else's house, I found this particularly useful for me. Her suggestions on decorating for your family and using the space that you have were brilliant-especially when it comes to having a husband who is hesitant to spend any money because we won't see the return. The pictures were a real inspiration-she uses things like logs and plates to decorate her home-something I can definitely do. The best part about the book was that this all seemed so doable!
But like I said, this is so much more than a "how to" book...
For me, it spoke about contentment. I have been convicted of having a jealous or greedy heart before, but lately with all of my friends buying gorgeous homes or moving to places where they have, you know, trees...I've been really discontent with my situation. I longed for a place to call my own, to make my own garden and pick out my own flooring and paint. The author speaks of her epiphany-when a famous stranger died-but this book led to my own personal epiphany that home is what we make it...I need to examine myself and discover what type of environment I'd like to create for my family. I've envisioned myself in a comfortable, functional, yet well-decorated home, and I certainly can't do that if I'm living in "nexthouseland".
All in all, a great book, a fantastic and easy read, and very easy to relate to. I give it five stars and I highly recommend it!
Disclosure: I was provided this book in exchange for my opinion. All opinions expressed here are my own, awesome opinion!

Making history come alive
Roger Simon with his political memorabilia.
Roger Simon's first brush with politics was an electrifying experience. The professor of history was attending an outdoor rally for 1956 Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in Camden, N.J., and the young boy and his family suddenly found themselves next to Stevenson's motorcade after police parted the crowd.
"He was touching hands with the people as his car went by," Simon recalls. "I was right there and his hand touched mine. It was so exciting."
Simon's interest in politics only grew as he got older and embraced his love of history through his academic career. And as it grew, so did his collection of political memorabilia, which now fills two display cases in Lehigh's Linderman Library.
The exhibit, which will run through the month of November, is only a portion of Simon's complete collection and includes buttons, press passes, bumper stickers, posters and campaign hats that date back as far as 1896. "Buttoning Up the Elections" chronicles presidential races of the last century and reflects both the issues and passions of the era that produced them, Simon says.
Reflecting the times
In Simon's collection, there are buttons protesting a third term for FDR, buttons proclaiming Richard Nixon's guilt in the Watergate scandal, and buttons promising peaceful tomorrows from 1968 presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy.
There are also a beribboned medal press pass from a convention in the 1950s, a yellowed JFK campaign hat from the 1960 Democratic convention, and campaign materials from Teddy Roosevelt's race in 1904.
More recent materials include campaign pieces promoting the Kerry/Edwards and Bush/Cheney tickets, and a number of posters and other materials from the Clinton/Gore campaigns that defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Kansas Senator Robert Dole in 1996.
"Artifacts make history real," says Simon in explaining his passion. "I'm not a really serious collector of anything, but I've always been fascinated with things that reflect the times that produced them."
To that end, Simon says his basement at home contains cartons filled with items as obscure as a 1947 waffle iron, a 1960 bonnet hair dryer, and a series of small kitchen appliances from the 1950s.
Value lies in appreciation
Occasionally, these antiques make their way into his classroom, where he demonstrates the odd-looking items to his students.
"You have to remember that a freshman student at Lehigh was born when Reagan was president, and probably doesn't remember any election prior to 1996," he says. "They think history started the day before yesterday, so they're often fascinated with this stuff."
Over the past few decades, students who know of Simon's interest in political memorabilia have also been a prolific source for it.
Other sources include curio shops, festivals and antique sales.
"They used to be a lot less expensive than they are now," says Simon.
He hesitates to declare his collection's worth, but does note that its value lies in the appreciation of it.
"Collections like this bring the past into the present," he says. "They make history come alive."

Not sure where to put this so I will put it here and the mods can move it if they see fit.
If you live in an area prone to tornados do you put your horses up in the barn or leave them out if you have that option. I have heard that you should leave them out but I guess in the grand scheme of things if it is a big one then it won't really matter?
I only have two stalls. I put mama and baby in one and leave the other two out because the other stall is being used for food storage.
Just wondering as we have had some really bad storms...thank God for the rain because being in west Texas we need it...but have had some super high winds (60mph) and tornado warnings.

Notre Dame football team players Chris Watt (66), Manti Te'o (5) and TJ Jones (7) celebrate with fans Sept. 22, 2012, after Notre Dame defeated Michigan, 13-6, in an NCAA game in South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame's football team is undefeated after five games for the first time in a decade. Thats good news for their opponents. / Darron Cummings, Associated Press

Notre Dame's football team is undefeated after five games for the first time in a decade. That's good news for their opponents.
After working through six coaches and compiling a 112-78 record since Lou Holtz retired after the 1996 season, the program that won eight Associated Press national titles and produced legendary figures such as Knute Rockne and George Gipp is ranked No. 7 this season. The revival means the team is even more of a draw on the road for fans and sponsors.
Notre Dame fans travel and that's where the economic impact comes from, said Scott Minto, director of San Diego State ...
