Defending Dakar Rally champ Fabrizio Meoni said yesterday that Friday would be the "real day," and he was right. With just two days remaining in this year's rendition of the famous event, Spaniard Joan Roma - the only rider remaining with a real shot at dethroning the Italian - saw his chances for victory disappear once again, this time when he took a wrong turn into a box canyon, crashed and perhaps panicked. Suffering from signs of hyperventilation, hypothermia and headaches, the Repsol Telefonica KTM rider was taken in hand by the medical-assistance crew, and is out of the race. The 2002 Total Arras-Madrid-Dakar Rally is now Meoni's to lose.
"The road from here to Dakar is a little more open," said Meoni in Italian, "But today I learned again that the Dakar Rally isn't over until the Pink Lake [site of the final day's stage]. Today, with not long remaining, I had built a big advantage on the others, but I lost the course and had to make it in to the finish off-road, which was very difficult. I'm sorry for the others, especially for Roma, but this is racing. Today I had a lot of difficulties. If he had perhaps remained calmer, he might have been able to win by a huge margin. This is Dakar, and it always reserves surprises."
The rally is almost completed, but the organizers reserved a two-day Marathon stage for today and tomorrow. Today's portion was a 293-mile, all-special-test stretch from Tichit west and south to Kiffa in southern Mauritania, not far from the border with Mali. It was laid out through large sand dunes, and nearly everyone had troubles navigating it. The first 25 miles or so were easily followed (they were also used in the test of two days ago), but the proper trail then branched off to one side. Most of the top racers continued on the wrong way, with only Meoni choosing correctly (shortly after, Gauloises KTM's Sainct also rejoined the proper route).
"The other riders kept on the stage of two days ago," said Frenchman Sainct, a two-time winner of the event. "They didn't follow the road book. They made a mistake because they went directly to checkpoint one, and there was a secret checkpoint just before it."
Among those to miss the checkpoint were Chilean Carlo de Gavardo and Italian Giovani Sala. De Gavardo was the first one into the following known checkpoint, but he picked up a two-hour penalty that knocked him way down in the results.
"Last night I was in my tent because I had a lot of pain in my tibia and also in my finger," de Gavardo said. "I didn't go to the briefing, and that was a very big mistake because [in the meeting], they said there would be a secret checkpoint. It's my fault - I'm worse every day."
Part of the problem for those who got lost came from the fact that it was raining - rare any time here, but especially during the current dry season. This made for relatively dust-free conditions, so those who made mistakes couldn't just look for the dust of someone on the proper trail. The fluke rain changed some Spanish team tactics yesterday from savvy to foolhardy: Meoni claims that Repsol Telefonica KTM's Roma had slowed at the end of yesterday's stage to allow teammate Isidre Esteve to finish just a few seconds in front of him on the test. This allowed Roma to start one position further back today, so had he been able to catch Meoni, he'd have made up four minutes - enough to take over the overall lead. But without the dust, the Spaniard had to ride like crazy to try and catch his rival, and he may well have panicked when he realized that he had taken the wrong way and was having - for the third year in a row! - a possible Dakar Rally victory slip from his grasp in the final days.
South African Alfie Cox had gone down the same canyon, but by keeping a cool head, he was able to make it to the secret checkpoint.
"I made the same mistake as Roma," Cox said. "I had four tracks in front of me, and that was perfect, as four bikes started in front of me today, and these tracks went and went and went. Then there were three tracks, then two, then one. I looked up and saw a big canyon wall on one side, and a kilometer-high dune. Just 10 kilometers from the hidden checkpoint, the road came to an end in the canyon. Today was the longest day on the fuel, so you couldn't even make a turn and go back anywhere, or you're not going to make fuel - you'll be in trouble. Eric Bernard was with me, and I said, 'I'm going to take a chance. If I can get up this dune, I'm almost sure [I'll find the check].' I took that dune. One head-over-heels and I broke the trip [odometer]. Then the trip wasn't working. Isidre [Esteve] came up from the wrong direction, and we started looking around - now we're shooting ourselves on the fuel. Luckily, it worked out. Roma just panicked. Your anxiety just gets you, and you can't help but panic."
Cox had been told by a friend the day previous, "When two dogs are fighting, the third one takes the bone.'' Indeed, the Gauloises KTM rider's careful handling of the situation was priceless, as it earned him an unofficial move up in the overall standings (as this is technically the middle of a Marathon stage, officials aren't providing overall standings, but a little math-work indicates that Roma's exit puts Cox in second, though over three-quarters of an hour behind Meoni). Had de Gavardo made the secret checkpoint, he may well have passed Cox and taken second himself, but his mistake proved costly.
"I knew he didn't make the check, but we had to wait 15 minutes at the refuel," Cox said. "He never showed up, so when he got there, he knew we were at least 15 minutes ahead. He must have taken off like a robber's dog. Second overall is a dream, although we're not there yet. Roma's a good rider, but at the end of the day, that's racing."
Also of note from today's stage, which favored brains over brawn, was the top-10 placing of woman racer Andrea Mayer.
As a side note, the flukish rain even affected those who weren't lost: "For me, it's the first time I've seen these conditions around here," Sainct said. "It was nice at first, but the tires were not good. In mud, it was no problem, but on hard-pack [clay], it was very difficult."
Racers will now take a mandatory eight-hour break before continuing on to Dakar, Senegal, departing the camp at 10:00 this evening on a 270-mile transfer stage to Boutilimit. From there, it will be a 102-mile special test to the Senegalese border, then a 245-mile transfer to Dakar. On Sunday, racers do a 41-mile special test around the Pink Lake.
Bike maintenance tonight will be minimal, as no assistance vehicles are allowed here in Kiffa. (By the way, this city - the last Mauritanian stop of this rally - was first utilized back in 1983, but was last utilized in 1997.)

We're in the last bivouac of the rally, and it's soaking wet. It only sprinkled last evening in Tichit, but here in Kiffa, it rained steadily all night and continued to do so throughout much of the day. It makes for a long-overdue beautiful camp, completely free of wind and dust (though I'm carrying a complete dune in my ears). After two solid days of wind-blown sand, I'm thoroughly enjoying the moist, sweet-smelling desert. I stashed my tent and bag in a corner of the press tent for much of the day, then - when the rain had stopped - chose a perfect, sandy spot and set up my final campsite of the '02 Dakar Rally. My last shower was about five days ago in Atar, but the good thing is that I've reached a point where I can no longer get dirtier; now, the only thing getting dirty is the layer of dirt that's already on me.
I suppose, truth be told, I really wouldn't have it any other way. I am living a true Dakar, and if things had continued in the clean, easy manner in which they started, I'd feel as though I had been robbed of something. Who knows if I'll ever get the opportunity to do this again, and I'd hate to think that the Dakar Rally I experienced was some sort of an asterisk. After all, when things turn ugly here, one quickly settles into a mode of stubborn acceptance, and there is always - always - someone who has got it worse. Obviously, the competitors are fatigued and aching, while my physical activity has been quite limited, but even among the press contingent, there are people who have it much harder than I. In addition to the many who were struck quite hard by the stomach sickness that has cursed this rally, there are those with impossible deadlines and word counts. My audience's primary location in America means I effectively enjoy an eight-hour cushion for completing my modest postings. The ones who really have a chore are the writers for European dailies. One Belgian guy writes for an evening paper whose deadline is about 1:00 p.m. - usually well before the day's racing has even been completed. Then there is the French girl who writes for Le Parisenne, and she spits out stories like sunflower seeds (while also producing cigarette butts like spent machine-gun shells). Making matters worse for these daily writers is the fact that many of them don't normally cover motorcycle racing, which means they've got to learn and adapt on the fly. Also, most of them are rather clean-cut and conservative, and their camping gear is sometimes appallingly inadequate (a few learned to build their tents at the rally's first bivouac). Despite all this, they work like animals and don't complain at all. They're just a small part of the complicated machinery that is the Total Arras-Madrid-Dakar Rally, but they've earned my respect, at least.
Tonight looks to be a sweet one, but last evening had a fever-dream, surreal quality that was straight out of a Salvador Dali painting. Wind (carrying billions of sand grains and the occasional rain drop) whipped my tent even harder than the night before; one mechanic tested his handiwork by bouncing his bike's motor off the rev-limiter for repeated, 10-second, midnight blasts; the airplane boss gave a Spanish driver a late-night chewing-out for parking his race car too close to our plane; car drivers drove in random loops on the lake bed that housed our camp; lights flashed; tent-neighbors hurled - and yet I, as I unexpectedly have for most of the rally, slept restfully. And of course, just as we boarded the plane this morning, the wind stopped and the dust died down, and we were able to confirm that Tichit is indeed a beautiful place, if only we had been able to see it.
As tonight is our final bivouac, I'm going to take a moment to acknowledge the fine job being performed by my tent. In the rally, our tents are the only personal shelter we have, and I've come to appreciate mine. In the interest of minimizing baggage, I chose one smaller than many of the others', with barely enough room inside for me and my small gear bag. This lets it catch less wind, however, and it has only overturned (partially) once. It has also successfully kept my sleeping bag and other belongings almost completely dry. I am looking forward to tomorrow night's real shower and hotel bed, but in a way, I will miss my reliable little tent.
And finally, I must shoulder the unpleasant chore of mentioning a fairly large mistake that I made early in my postings, but about which I have only today become aware. Contrary to what I have written in these spaces, there was an American motorcycle entrant in the Dakar Rally this year. His name is James Fiorillo, he was entered on a KTM, and I am told he dropped out during the first African stage. My apologies, Mr. Fiorillo, and good luck on a more successful future attempt on Dakar.

Visiting Minnesota
I'm looking for recomendations on lodges in the boundary waters canoe area in northern Minnesota for a family vacation. It needs to be big enough to accomodate 20 people yet we would like it to be very pristine. We think North Country Lodge, Northwind Lodge or Rockwood Lodge could work, but its so hard to tell what places are really like from their web sites. Any personal recommendations would be really helpful! elizabeth
The Rainy Lake area in Voyageurs' National Park is also great. I went to a wedding at the Rainy Lake Lodge (it's on an island and they pick you up by boat) that was lots of fun. Here's their website: http://www.rainylakelodge.com
Finally, the Ely area is really beautiful. I think there is a BWCA website that has several places listed. They tend to be very rustic. Have a great trip! ckatz

Join Doghouse Digital
Update Notes
Updated on: 02/15/2015
Since we last visited DoghouseDigital...
- More than 100 videos and photo sets have been added and the update schedule continues at a rate of about seven new scenes per month.
Based out of Montreal, Doghouse Digital is one of Canada's largest adult production companies. They produce such hardcore series as "Born for Porn," "Chew On My Spew" and "Rear-Ended." So while the content on the site can also be found on DVDs, it's available exclusively online here.
DoghouseDigital has a good-looking design and it's easy to see what's available to you, which at the moment consists of 953 videos. The quality isn't the same across the board, but you'll be happy to know that 670 of them can be downloaded in a Full HD MP4 format. The high-def vids are easy to find because they're clearly marked. Also, you can seek them out via a category menu. Windows Media downloads are also offered or, if you prefer, you can stream the movies in an embedded player.
At any rate, you'll find all kinds of hardcore sex acts, with lesbians, interracial matchups and fresh-faced babes. There's cum-swapping, anal penetration, squirting and fetish-themed scenes for those looking for something that's kinky as well as raunchy. I also saw some large gangbang scenes and those looking for bisexual guy-girl-guy scenes can find those here as well. The site really gives you a good variety of niches.
There are also 889 photo galleries and these offer large, high-res pictures. You can view the images in slideshows and download them in Zip files. The pics offer the same sexy sights as the videos, so they're definitely worth a look.
If you glance at the very top of the page you'll see a "your bonus sites" dropdown menu and this is where you'll find four additional sites from the Mile High Media network, including Reality Junkies, Sweet Sinner and Sweetheart Video. They add value to a membership and give you plenty to keep busy with between updates.
Speaking of updates, you'll be pleased to know that the website continues to add new content and there have been seven new scenes in the last month, which is good schedule. If the site keeps updating at this rate, it'll only get bigger and better. It's already pretty damn good, though, and with lots of high-quality videos on offer, Doghouse Digital is a website worth checking out.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 45% Date: 05/16/2015
That OMFG moment when you find out that lots of videos in this websites are "mixed of Gay and Girl-guy" ..i mean like WTFFF!!How can a straight guy would wanna see a straight video mixed with gay scene!!Huge turnoff for me. Luckilly i checked the videos and then never bothered to join this site..Btw, if u are a bisexual who watches both gay and straight porn, than it might be your site..
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:05/19/2015): Thank you for the comment, pornguy. As of this post, there are 118 scenes out of the 950+ available scenes that are listed as bisexual. These are also the only scenes that feature male-male content.

PRO, quality is good
CON, with only 5 creampie scenes i will not be back
Score: 10% Date: 03/09/2014
This is a website that uses a cunning trick to rob people of their money by selling an additional membership of a website you never wanted, using tiny tiny little letters hidden on a spot nobody ever looks at (pre-checked cross sale). All websites that do this should be banned, and are not worth any time or money. I told them this but they did not even react...
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:03/10/2014): Thanks for the comment, Peter. Always be sure to check our pricing section at the top to confirm if there are pre-checked cross sales, in order to avoid unnecessary billings.
Score: 95% Date: 04/09/2013
I have to give Doghouse Digital top marks. There is a MASSIVE quantity of exclusive goodies to be found on here. The scenes are very good and there are a lot of them in stunning High Definition. The site is a little different for the better as a lot of the scenes start clothed with deep tongue kissing and groping as arousal is clearly portrayed.
The bisexual MMF scenes are particularly well executed with some great camera work
Lingerie fans will not be disappointed, as quite a lot of the girls wear black hold up stockings under a disgustingly short mini dress
The photo sets are with each scene and there are between 100 and 400 photos to each scene - again lovely definition and like watching the movie in slow motion!
In built streaming is faster than most other sites and is stunning in portable devices
The updates are about once a day and you cannot ask more than that. I took advantage of the Rabbit Review discount offer and goy in for only $14.95. One of the best deals Ive had considering the quantity and the quality
In conclusion a great site and well worth spending the mine on a membership, which I intend to retain after the first month

Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA)
As of July 2008, California statute (Chap. 517, Stats. 2006) requires all candidates for a preliminary Multiple and Single Subject Teaching Credential to pass an assessment of their teaching performance with K-12 public school students as part of the requirements for earning a teaching credential. This assessment of teaching performance is designed to measure the candidate's knowledge, skills and ability with relation to California's Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs), including demonstrating his/her ability to appropriately instruct all K-12 students in the Student Academic Content Standards.
Each of the four approved teaching performance assessment models requires a candidate to complete defined tasks relating to subject-specific pedagogy, designing and implementing instruction and student assessment, and a culminating teaching experience or event. When taken as a whole, teaching performance assessment tasks/activities multiply measure the TPEs. Candidate performances are scored by trained assessors against one or more rubrics that describe levels of performance relative to each task/activity. Each model must also meet and maintain specified standards of assessment reliability, validity, and fairness to candidates.
Each candidate must receive a score of 3 or better to pass each task in accordance with the CSUSM requirements which were adopted by the College of Education in 2008. All candidates who start a Commission-approved multiple and single subject teacher preparation program as of July 1, 2008 must meet the teaching performance assessment requirement.

Dealing with a burning squad car
Submitted by:
Doug Wyllie, PoliceOne Editor in Chief
Contemplate this scenario. You come upon a car beside the road that's billowing smoke. It's worst case scenario — the vehicle is a police prowler. Presently you don't see much in the way of flames, but you know in the back of your mind it could easily be the early stage of a major car fire.
Or how about this. Your patrol vehicle is first to the scene of a fully-involved house fire and all of a sudden a fireworks show breaks out when the occupant's ammo cache begins cooking off?
Neither of these are "hypothetical" events. I won't go too deep into the latter except to say that firefighters battling a recent house fire in Napa County (Calif.) had to contend with an armory's worth of gunpowder and ammunition within the inferno.
However, I do want to look a little at the first example, because a recent fiery crash involving a Tennessee Highway Patrol unit brought to light something to keep in mind should you face such a nightmarish scenario involving a police vehicle. Officers who helped rescue their trapped brother from inside the burning squad reported that as the intensity of the fire rapidly increased, shotgun ammo and emergency flares inside the vehicle began "cooking off."
Obviously, creating distance from a car fire after freeing a trapped victim will be a reflexive response, but if you're dealing with a police vehicle, remember that things like ammo, flares, and pressurized containers will likely be inside. If you're faced with a burning police vehicle get as far away as soon as possible after completing or evaluating the feasibility of necessary rescue efforts. Be sure that bystanders/onlookers do the same.
Some Things to Consider
Poremba's advice to his firefighter audience is equally valid here on PoliceOne. Paraphrasing him somewhat, he cautions that some things to consider when approaching a fire include:
Positioning: Wind, leading fluids, exposure issues — how should we position our equipment and make the attack?
Poremba tells FR1 Members to "assume every vehicle contains a BBQ tank and fertilizer."
We don't have to "assume" anything about approaching a police car involved in fire. Just like there's at least one firearm at every police contact, there's a whole bunch of stuff in a burning squad that can ruin your whole day.
Assess the scene, and adapt your strategy to suit the situation.
Stay safe out there my friends.
Oh, yeah, by the way... Big time thanks and praise to those cops and paramedics who pulled that trooper from his wrecked squad. Heroes, all.

New Press Releases
(Grants Pass, Oregon)--Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®, America's favorite beading and jewelry supply company, announces new additions to their existing line of cultured freshwater stick pearls in the latest fashion colors.
Vivid hues, with either a coppery essence or a silver sheen, illuminates every move. Electro coated, permanent color outlasts and outshines traditional dye techniques and is consistent within each strand.

What They Do and Why We Need Them
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreAbraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, Rick in Casablanca--why do we perceive certain people as heroes? What qualities do we see in them? What must they do to win our admiration? In Heroes, Scott T. Allison and George R. Goethals offer a stimulating tour of the psychology of heroism, shedding light on what heroism and villainy mean to most people and why heroes--both real people and fictional characters--are so vital to our lives. The book discusses a broad range of heroes, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino, Senator Ted Kennedy, and explorer Ernest Shackleton, plus villains such as Shakespeare's Iago. The authors highlight the Great Eight traits of heroes (smart, strong, selfless, caring, charismatic, resilient, reliable, and inspiring) and outline the mental models that we have of how people become heroes, from the underdog who defies great odds (David vs. Goliath) to the heroes who redeem themselves or who overcome adversity. Brimming with psychological insight, Heroes provides an illuminating look at heroes--and into our own minds as well. less

This is a lovely recipe. This sauce creates a fine backbone & I only recommend making more of it, as the tofu soaked up so much I didn't have much left for the greens.flag if inappropriate
Loved it.Get the extra firm tofu and you will save time draining, though you may want to marinate a bit longer.flag if inappropriate
I too used tamari instead of soy sauce and found that it made the greens especially WAY too salty. (And I don't mind a little extra salt.) The tofu was a nice texture - different from the goopy stuff I'm used to. To get the tofu really dry, I put it on a plate, topped it with another plate, and put a jar on top to weight it for an hour or more. Every once in a while I'd pour off the liquid that was pressed out. At the end I wrapped a paper towel around the 'fu and squished it for a few final minutes. I marinated without looking too much at the clock - probably 15-20 minutes all told, and it worked out nicely. Greens were beet and spinach. Next time I'll use maybe low-salt soy sauce and something thicker than spinach - kale? There will be a next time, because a dish this healthy on epicurious has got to be mastered.flag if inappropriate
tasty and easy. I also used my George Foreman grill as well as let the tofu drain on paper towels for a few hours. Was very easy to make, and satisfying.flag if inappropriate
My wife and kid both went vegeterian on me, so I have been trying to find things to do with tofu. This is the best so far. I sliced it into 4, rather than 6, slices. It was delicate at 4; it would have been extremely hard to work with at 6.flag if inappropriate
My three-year-old daughter begged for more of this tasty tofu and I loved it, too. I served it over rice with spinach and it was quick and easy to prepare as directed. It's definitely a keeper for my family.flag if inappropriate
This was very tasty and will surely be a summer regular in our household. I did modify the original recipe alittle due to other's remarks including weighting of tofu increased to 4 hours (only cuz I did it during my lunch hour.) I used 2 T Bragg Sauce instead of soy, 1 t molasses instead of sugar, 2 T fresh ginger, 2 cloves garlic, 2 T olive oil, 1 bag spinach - the rest remained as written. after weighting, I sliced the block in 5 patties (family of 5) and marinated for 30 mins (I didn't turn) Then I grilled on lg stainless steel grill, turning once. I put tofu on fresh (uncooked) spinach and topped w/ tahini/ginger dressing.flag if inappropriate
This was unbelievably quick, easy and good. My husband and I agreed we could eat this once a week. Thought that it was crazy that two people could finish a whole block of tofu - until we did. We used the foreman grill someone gave us for our wedding (5 years ago!) for the first time - it worked great - it finally has a purpose!flag if inappropriate
Simple dish to prepare and delicious. I placed the vegetables alongside the tofo on one platter for a very nice presentation. My guests loved this dish.flag if inappropriate
I made this using an even mix of bok choy, baby spinach, and watercress. Even my husband enjoyed it, despite the tofu.flag if inappropriate

text: himoses 5pts People's preferences in design are subjective. IMHO, the new Focus's interior spanks everything in its class currently available including the Cruze. I can totally understand how the people who like two-tone stuff would like the Cruze better. Personally, two-tone stuff annoys me unless it is aluminum or natural wood. Exterior wise, the Focus annihilates everything in its class including the Jetta, Civic, Mazda 3, and Cruze. The only car that may give challenge that I have seen so far is the Hyundai Elantra which does not pull off the fluidic sculpting look as well as the Sonata (kinda like how bad the Sentra copies the Altima). I particularly like the hatch. Too bad GM does not want to bring the Cruze hatch to America because the Focus would have some nice competition.It's too early to tell which is the better car until the real road tests and pricing are released. 148 ft lbs of torque is not the most impressive stat in the world.

nuLoom rug
very nice rug for price. Pink color slightly different from what was pictured (not as bright and a bit more purple) but still very prettyRead More
Beautiful!!!! Similar to one I saw at a much higher priceRead More
We bought two!!!
The first time we bought one of these rugs, we ordered fuschia. It was for our 13 year old's bedroom. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the price was right! She loves it, and we love it! We were so impressed with the fast delivery, as well. So many great things to say about this product! The color on my computer screen was exact. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, to see that the color was just as vibrant as I was hoping :):) We bought this rug in purple, but Overstock accidentally sent us the violet rug (they are different shades). The violet rug was for our 12 year old's bedroom, and although we ordered the purple, the violet was just as beautiful. We're keeping it :) **we have received many compliments on both rugs ;)Read More
Not quite as i expected
I just received this rug today and wanted to review immediately because there is currently only 1 review and it just sn't adequate. I ordere the yellow rug so I cannot comment on the other colors. Our home decor is a mix of "happy modern" and eclectic and we thought this yellow rug would add a fun punch of color to a living room with gray concrete floors, gray sofa, and eames armchairs and accent tables. The color of the rug is not what I hoped for. It was hard to tell in the online image, but I thought the dark scrollwork pattern might be black, dark gray, or navy. Nope. It's brown/dark tan. The rug itself is not saturated with the yellow color. Instead, it looks faded (hence, "vintage") as thought in some places the color has worn off. I think that's pretty cool. However, the yellow itself isn't great. It is a lemony yellow, has sort of a florescent tinge to it. It reminds me of urine. Kinda gross. I am not sure if I can get past that, since I have two large dogs and have on many occasions in their lives cleaned up their urine. ;) The rug seems to be of good quality. I didn't want a super thick, plush rug. If you want that, this rug will disappoint. The rug is thin, but not too thin as to feel cheap or insubstantial. I put a rug pad under it and it is very comfortable to sit on. The rug is very soft. It feels like wool, although I believe it is acrylic. The scrollwork definitely makes the rug feel less modern and more vintage. So I suppose it is somewhere between a modern and vintage style. The scrollwork is very pretty and not too busy. It doesn't overwhelm the rug and is quite faded itself. The edges of the rug, where the material is bound, are cream. Overall, I think this is a pretty decent rug, especially for the price -- overdyed rugs are pretty trendy right now and can run easily over $1,000 for this size. However, I don't think it is truly the "saturated" rug it claims to be. I was hoping for something more vibrant.Read More
I like the rug
This is a great rug. We were actually sent the 4x6 size and kept it with a refund of the difference. This picture of the turquoise is not accurate. It is much greener - others had posted this and I saw the same rug on another site with a more accurate color. I like the greener color, but if you are looking for blue, this is not a good choice.Read More
Violet Rug - Not what I expected but still great
Just got this in today. I don't seem to have the smell problem that everyone else has. For the price, this rug is a great value - it feels soft and the style is really cool. It is the centerpiece of my bedroom, and it looks great. For anyone getting the violet rug - I didn't expect this, but the burnout light colors are actually a light lime green in person, not white. I'm fine with it because it still matches the color story of the room it is being used in, but I could imagine someone getting the rug and being surprised by it.Read More
Color varied a little more than I thought it would
I know that there is some variation in color when shopping online, but this was REALLY varied. The color still works for me, but I was expecting a blue teal and instead got a green teal. The picture online is really washed out. Having said that, it's a beautiful rug and I am very happy with it!Read More
Great rug for the price!
I ordered this rug in turquoise and I LOVE IT! If you're looking for a thicker rug, this isn't it. I'm not saying it's sheet thin or bad quality at all... just not "thick". I just needed a pop of color and something to warm up our wood floor. The color isn't as bright as in the picture- which is good. The picture made me nervous it would show up neon. It's prettier in person than in the picture. My lone complaint is that one of the lines that runs down one of the longer sides is crooked. Maybe it was printed crooked? No problem; it just adds to the charm of it. I definitely recommend this rug :)Read More

My wife and I live in Santa Cruz, CA. We're near enough to the ocean to hear the playful Sea Lions bark at night. It took 10 years until we landed in this enduring old Beach town. We hope to honor the kind local HUD women, who helped find a cozy 2nd floor subsidized Bungalow for us. This distressed (5' x 8') Aqua rug fits the decor for the Seaside Bungalow Theme that we've decided to go with. The 30% sale, along with the extras I get being part of Club-O, made this great purchase possible.

Palmaz Vineyards
The Palmazes bought a forgotten stone winery, a fine old house badly in need of renovation, and acres of land that had once produced fine Napa wines. The little valley had been the site of Cedar Knoll Vineyard and Winery, founded in 1881 by Henry Hagen, one of Napa Valley's pioneer winemakers.
The vineyard is planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, plus some small lots of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, which are used as blend components for Palmaz wines.
Palmaz Vineyards' winemaking and aging takes place within the living rock of Mount George, in a flawlessly engineered maze of tunnels and lofty domes. The depth of the wine cave is equivalent to an 18-storey building, providing the vertical range needed for true gravity-flow winemaking. Thus, the wine is never subjected to the violent agitation of pumping, which can change the wine's structure. This gentle treatment allows the finest nuances of flavor to develop naturally – the result is a complex, elegant wine.
Plan a trip to Palmaz Vineyards on our interactive winery map:
Family Friendly Winery
Families are welcome to bring their children on tours and tastings.
Palmaz Vineyards conducts private tour and tastings by appointment only Monday through Saturday. The tour consists of a walk through of several levels of the cave where we show how our wines are made using gravity-flow winemaking methods. Then guests will join us for a tasting where three winery-only white wines and three vintages of the Palmaz Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon are featured and paired with hors d' oeuvres. All tours are lead by a member of the Palmaz family and are subject to availability. There is a charge of $60 per person, which is applicable towards the purchase of wine during your visit. Please allow for at least two hours for your visit.
For reservations, please call 707-226-5587 or email us for more information.
Wine clubs are a great way to stay connected to your favorite wineries.

Wonderful, distinctive miniature wall hangings or ornaments from the St. Andrews Abbey in Valyermo, CA. There is an interesting history on these handcrafted ceramics, which have been created by the Benedictine monks and other workers at the abbey since the 1950s. The original abbey was located in Chengtu, China but the monks were expelled by the Communist movement in 1952 – they later resettled the abbey in Valyermo.
The abbey continues to make this style of ceramics, which are easily identified by the large-eyed figures and flattened, rough clay used for the pieces. The individual sections are hand-glazed in different colors and there are metal hooks embedded in the top for hanging on the wall. These particular ones are smaller, perhaps meant to be ornaments. They feature an angel with balloons, a "soccer angel" and little devil with pitchfork. We are uncertain of the date of manufacture, though we think this may be newer – perhaps mid 1980s.
In great condition with no major damage that we can see. The backs have an impressed mark that is typical of the abbey. The soccer angel also has an original tag.
Each measures about 3″ x 4″.

Lindsay Lohan clearly didn't want to face the cameras as she was escorted from a police station into a waiting car.
It's thought the actress was arrested in the early hours of the morning after allegedly hitting a woman in a New York nightclub.
The Mean Girls star was seen covering her face at she left the 10th Precinct station.
It's not been a very good week for Lindsay as her latest film, 'Liz & Dick', was labeled a flop after low audience figures in its opening weekend.

Really cool! That unitas is a great hand wind watch movement. I wish there were more pictures to show its tied into the shutter speed. I cant seem to find the shutter speed adjustment on the camera either in the pictures.
very beautiful. Newt, i don't think there is a definite, shutter speed dial, more than likely, it was along the lines of two twists equals 30 seconds...
link ^ shows he's made several cameras and their respective photos, although i'm just guessing and may be incorrect.
also, i don't think you can buy it, or maybe for several thousands you can, (tens of thousands?) seeing as the watch it self is 800, at least the heartbeat 1 was... and that was only part of the camera.

What should we ask of them other than the magic words? Although all children understand manners at a different rate, let's take a look at their average evolution in that matter.
For parents of children aged 2 to 5
As soon as a child can sit at the table, we must lead by example. My mother used to say: "you shouldn't sing at the table" but this rule doesn't apply to children for whom songs and games are the best way of introducing most concepts, including good manners.
Before and after the meals
Hand washing is essential, before and after the meals. We wash our hands to the wrist, as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday"! This is a fun activity that EVERYONE should share with the little ones… if you know what I mean!
Eating utensils
I suggest that parents start with holding the fork, knife and spoon correctly. Because children that young cannot use a knife, the right hand should be holding the utensils at all times. Unfortunately, this American style of holding knife and fork isn't adapted to left-handed children. Let's hope that it will soon be more suited to everyone as in the Continental style.
Grabbing the fork (closing your hand on the fork so that your fingers are pointing towards the table) is much easier for a little one than balancing it between their fingers like you do. But if you allow him to use his fork like this, you must teach him the proper way before he will reach his tenth birthday. I suggest you try showing your child the proper way first, to assess his dexterity and to give him a chance. A lesson well learned is a lesson well remembered.
The meals
A family meal is like a ballet where everyone can add his part. The upper body goes in action to get fed and avoid dropping everything on the table in the process. Knowing the right way to pass the plates in a joyful dance will focus attention on the conversations rather than on the fear of an eventual mess.
Pass the salad… (Please!)
Plates should always be passed from the left and never in front of you. As soon as your child will be old enough to hold a plate, he should be allowed to take part in this process. To help the youngest ones, you can use a sing-along and change the lyrics to "pas the salad from the left".
This funny way will help him to remember this rule and to be more confident in his capacity to pass a plate or a bowl but pay attention if you don't want your dinner to end up on the floor. As for ballet dancers, one will jump in the air and her partner will be there to catch her when she lands.
Remaining seated during the meal and asking to be excused before getting up.
If you want him to understand the importance of asking to be excused before leaving the table, it is best to tell him that you are happier when he is there. Teaching him empathy will help him learn that when it is time to eat, he must eat and when he is finished eating, he must ask permission before getting up.
Politely greet people
The same empathy applies when it is time to salute people you meet or when you leave. To make him understand the importance of politely greeting people, I suggest telling him that when people see him, they are happy and when you leave, if you are nice, it means that you will see them again soon.

When is a debate not a debate?
|Here are some examples of subjects which are up for debate at the moment
Here are some examples of subjects which are not up for debate at the moment:
When I was younger, I'd often encounter an amateur philosopher who would derail a discussion by taking the whole thing back to first principles, as if it were clever to say, "Yes, but are we really here? Might I not be a figment of your imagination?" Philosophers have to look at these questions, but then they have to move on before they can walk across the room (Is there really a room?) and make a cup of tea (What do you mean by make? What do you mean by tea? Isn't that a mug, anyway?). You have to put faith in the world as you see it in order to operate within it. Similarly, if we had to debate whether slavery is a bad thing every time we discussed workers' rights or modern day racism, we'd never get anywhere.
This is about three very different things I've read lately, which seem connected by this issue. The first may be - judging from what happens to other opinion pieces on the BBC News website by good and sensible writers - an example of sensationalist editing rather than the author's intention. Anyway, in Does the sex debate exclude men?, Sarah Dunant writes
[The idea men think differently about sexual ethics] will not necessarily be politically correct. Sex often isn't. It doesn't help that when men do open their mouths on the larger stage, they are firmly shot down. Both George Galloway and our now ex-Justice Secretary Ken Clarke might have been ill advised in their remarks about sexual behaviour and the law, but like it or not, they thought something needed saying, only to be met by a storm of female outrage that effectively stifled all debate.
Clarke got into trouble for blundering with words while participating in a real debate about how the criminal law is applied to rape, how to increase convictions and sentence appropriately. That discussion is ongoing, and hasn't been stifled one jot. But any questions raised by Clarke or Galloway's offensive statements take us back to first principles, a stage or two above "Should men be allowed to do whatever they like to women and their bodies?" Not everything someone thinks needs saying ,needs saying, and certainly no everything someone says is part of a debate. Even if it is said by a man.
The idea of "female outrage" and variations on that theme (hysteria, pearl-clutching, the feminist thought police) are frequently used to discredit women with an opinion on anything. And thankfully, there has been no shortage of men feeling outraged about things said about rape in recent months (two examples from my modest blog roll and two more I happen to remember - if I actually went looking, I'm sure I'd find loads). If there really was a male/ female divide about the issue of consent, heterosexuality would be a lost cause.
Talking of which, Nick Clegg. Like Clarke, Clegg has got into trouble for the words he (or his speech-writers) have used while talking about an actual, very current debate, when he (or his speech-writers) referred to those who oppose marriage equality as bigots. That is an example of someone stifling a debate. Let's call it male outrage! Okay, so we won't.
Nobody who has ever been subject to actual bigotry could imagine that the plain old social conservatism which causes many people to object to marriage equality is bigotry. There are bigots about, for sure, but most people who have reservations against marriage equality aren't like that. They're wrong, of course, but the arguments are quite straight forward; they have a concern, we address that concern, they think about it and realise there's nothing to worry about. Remember all those folk who initially objected to civil partnerships but have since got completely used to the idea? It's them. We can sort all this out together and everyone will be fine. So long as we don't call one another names!
However, as the subject of marriage equality continues to be debated, there are bigots thumping the table who wish to reduce the argument back to first principles such as "Is homosexuality a dark and dangerous force that threatens to destroy the world?" They're not having a debate - certainly not the same debate the rest of us are having. And I would argue that it is perfectly okay to call them bigots and duly ignore them. Or preferably just ignore them.
Which leads me to Do Marginalised People Need To Be Insulting In Order To Be Empowered? by a chap called Daniel Finke, who discusses the ethics of debate and implores marginalised people to adopt a civil tone when conversing with people they disagree with. There's a good (if rather sweary) discussion about this over at Feministe, where many people speak of the legitimate anger of marginalised people and this idea that marginalised people somehow have to win the world over, to demonstrate over and over that we are good enough for - better even - than the people who want to shut us out.
I strongly believe in being courteous and patient and trying to understand where people's prejudices come from, in order to give them the kind of information which might help them straighten that out. But honestly, there are some circumstances where anger is the only possible or useful response. But this is not a debate either. And it's okay not to have a debate.
It's okay to say "That was a horrendously offensive thing to say." without addressing any point someone made. It's okay for Nick Clegg (or his speech-writers) to say, "There are some bigots and some reasonable people who object to equal marriage and we're not going to bother talking to the bigots." and it's okay for marginalised people to call our enemies names, safe in the knowledge that far worse names are given to us, just for existing.
But we can't call any of those things debate.

It's a comedian named Steinjo (Search youtube) who does all kinds of parodies from songs with his buddy Erlend.
They are norwegian and this is NOT A REAL SONG. It's a parody of Blümchen.
I wrote that in the text when I submitted the video, but IAB changed (!?) the text to make it sound like it's real...O.o
And last but not least, it's a parody. Not real. :P
