Stop press .....
Please note our next meeting, Wednesday, 25th May, has been changed to a visit to the Tas Valley Society's meeting on the same evening. They have a talk by Alan Pask on the Caistor Roman Project and we have been kindly invited to attend.
Welcome to our website
Through our website we hope to bring to everyone the information gathered together about the village of Tharston in Norfolk. It has a very varied past and it is our intention to show the village through it's history of the area, the buildings and of the residents and the trades they were involved in.
Visitor's notice
Please note that we are a relatively new group and would welcome constructive comments of critism or acclaim, offers of help and information on sources of interest. We would especially like to hear from anyone from abroad who has a connection with Tharston. Please make contact using the Contact form.
New Facebook Group
|A new Facebook group has been set up where we hope that people will share with others information on Tharston, request information or help with research and help create a community of people interested in Tharston's history. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Tharston.History/
The One Hour Challenge
Do you have ancestors who lived in Tharston or a nearby village around 1900? If so, members of the THS would like to take on the challenge of finding out as much as we can about a line of your family in one hour. This has been tried by other societies and has proved to be most informative and enjoyable for all concerned. Many families have used this as a springboard to undertake more detailed research of their own.
Should we undertake this, the results of our findings will be presented at one of our meetings and a copy given to the family. Please note that nothing will be presented at any meeting which is remotely contentious without the express permission of the family.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Postcards - then and now
Please help ...
Some members are looking to undertake a project where old postcards of South Norfolk places are compared with what can be seen today. We have quite a number already but are hoping that people will have others which they would be prepared to let us scan - any loaned to us will be returned and a credit given to the owner. Ideally they should be from within a 10 mile radius of Tharston and a minimum of 50 years old. More recent ones will be useful especially if significant changes have taken place - today's news is tomorrow's history! If you have any which would be of interest please contact us and we will arrange for collection and return.
What's new in the last month or so ...

Democratic registration surges in state
Published: Friday, October 10, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 11:25 p.m.
The surge in new voters that helped propel Barack Obama to his partys presidential nomination is carrying over to the general election 9 million newly registered voters who are overwhelmingly Democratic and could add up to a big victory on Election Day.
If they show up.
In states where registration is recorded by party, including eight key states that could decide the election, voters have signed up Democratic in the past six months by a margin of nearly 4-to-1.
North Carolina, which polls show is suddenly in play for Obama, has also seen a gain in Democratic voters.
The evidence for a Democratic surge is less pronounced in Henderson, Polk and Transylvania counties. While all three counties report robust interest, as measured by new voters, the big gains are in independents.
In Polk County 504 people have signed up to vote since January. Only 20, or 4 percent, registered Republican, and 135, or 26 percent, chose Democrat. The rest 352, or a whopping 70 percent checked unaffiliated.
We have seen more young people and African-Americans getting involved than before, said Dale Edwards, Polk County Board of Elections director.
I am glad. I want everyone to vote.
The same trend was evident in Henderson County.
Unaffiliated is far more (ahead) than Democrats, Henderson County Elections Director Beverly Cunningham said Thursday. We probably had a hundred people come in here today (of all affiliations) and those are not entered yet.
Henderson County has added 6,699 voters since Jan. 1. The makeup of the electorate remains solidly Republican, with 43 percent registering with GOP, 26 percent Democratic and 31 percent unaffiliated.
Transylvania County has also added more unaffiliated voters than either major party. Of 1,807 new voters this year, 36 percent are Democrats, 25 percent Republicans, and 39 percent unaffiliated.
Reason to vote
Tonya Barker is among the new voters in eastern North Carolina.
The 30-year-old mother of two said it wasnt until this election when the Illinois senator burst onto the national scene that she finally found a reason to vote.
Why would I waste my time on someone I dont believe in? said Barker. I think I knew Barack was coming.
Simply registering voters, even when the numbers are skewed so heavily toward one party, is no guarantee of success.
Historically, voter turnout among new registrants has been low. And while candidates have months to run registration drives, they have only a tiny window several days during early balloting, just hours on Election Day to get out the vote.
Still, an Associated Press analysis of registration data found that if the millions of newly registered voters turn out at the same rate as in 2004 and cast ballots with their declared party of choice, Obama could have the votes he needs to wrest several battleground states away from the Republican Party and its nominee, Sen. John McCain.
Obama could hold Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, won by Democrat John Kerry four years ago, and go on to pick up three states won by President Bush: Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. He could also narrow the gap in Iowa, as well as in both Florida and North Carolina: two big Southern states worth 42 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
Flow of the tide
A win for Obama in only a few of those eight states could doom McCains chances. A victory in all could turn the election into a rout.
The trend line is really troubling, said longtime Republican consultant Carter Wrenn, who helped North Carolinas Jesse Helms win several terms in the U.S. Senate in a state where there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans.
Thats a sign that this is one of those elections where all the tides are flowing in the Democrats direction. Those tides are the most important thing in politics.
An AP survey of election officials nationwide found that as of Oct. 1, the number of registered Democrats had grown by nearly 5 percent since 2004 outpacing overall population growth in the 28 states where information on voter registration by party was available for 2004 and 2008. During the same time, the GOP lost more than 2 percent of its registered voters.
Behind the numbers
Within the numbers are unmistakable signs that Obama stands to reap the benefits of the registration boom.
Among them: In five states that track registration by race, blacks who polls suggest almost unanimously support Obama have registered to vote at nearly twice the rate of whites over the past six months.
It had a lot to do with negligence on my part, not taking interest in it, Natalie Mattocks, a 26-year-old woman from Jacksonville, said of her previous indifference to voting. She signed up this summer as a Democrat. Now with an African-American candidate, theres kind of an automatic level of interest for me, said Mattocks, who is black.
And she said she has been adamant that her friends vote, too.
Im on them, Mattocks said. Its become very important for me to make sure theyre registered. Im telling everyone I come across, no matter if I dont know them and they dont know me. They can see it on my shirt, who Im voting for.
In the eight battleground states where voters register by party, Democrats have added more than 1 million registrants in the past four years while the GOP has lost roughly 125,000.
In six of the eight, more voters also have recently registered as independents or as members of third parties than as Republicans. Since the start of the year in Florida, 253,294 people have signed up as independents or with other parties, compared to 190,137 Republicans.
Meanwhile, 360,478 Florida voters registered as Democrats.
The real question is, can the Democrats turn these voters out? said Erin Van Sickle, a spokeswoman for the Florida Republican Party. History tells us: No, they cant. Republicans have a time-tested get-out-the-vote machine and that will not change this year.
Four years ago, there were a few thousand more registered Republicans than Democrats in Nevada. Thanks in part to a competitive Democratic caucus between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the party now has a roughly 90,000-voter edge. Even if a large portion of those new Democrats dont vote, Obama has enough potential new voters to make up the 21,500 vote edge that delivered the states five electoral votes to Bush in 04.
Said Dan Hart, a Democratic political consultant in Nevada: If weve got a registration advantage of that size, and independents are leaning Democratic ... theres a point in time when you just dont have enough voters to win an election.
Getting out the vote
Steve Wark, a Republican consultant from Las Vegas and an expert on getting out the vote, acknowledged hed rather be on the other side of the registration surge. But he said getting first-time registrants to the polls is especially hard in Nevada, where the population is transient and often new to the state.
In southern Nevada, you can count on 20 percent of any new registrants to vote in the next regular election, Wark said. Its very difficult when you do registration drives to make those meaningful within an election cycle.
Among the new voters in Nevada are tens of thousands signed up by Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to register low-income people. Officials there and in other states have accused ACORN, which claims to have registered 1.3 million people nationwide since 2007, of submitting registrations that used false or duplicated information.
ACORN has said it informs election authorities when it identifies a potentially fraudulent registration, and said the relatively few number of problem registrations probably stem from workers who are paid by the number of registrations they submit making up false applications, rather than trying to change the outcome of the election.
The lingering nomination fight between Clinton and Obama turned the late-season primaries in Pennsylvania and North Carolina into critical contests, generating enthusiasm and booming registration.
The ranks of registered Democrats has grown by 500,000 in the past year in Pennsylvania, while the GOP has lost about 28,000. The states 67 counties are still processing the crush of paperwork filed before this weeks registration deadline.
Thomas Baldino, a political science professor at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., said many of the registrants recruited by the Obama campaign are college students and other young people. He cautioned that such people are less likely to vote than older, established voters for whom heading out on Election Day is a habit.
(Obama) needs to mobilize those people, Baldino said. He needs to turn those numbers into votes.
The registration trend favoring Democrats is dramatic in North Carolina, a state that hasnt voted for that partys nominee since Gov. Jimmy Carter from nearby Georgia was on the ballot in 1976. New Democratic registrations outpaced those for the GOP 2-to-1 this year.
Billy Mills, the Democratic Party chairman in North Carolinas Onslow County, was thrilled this week when Michelle Obama arrived to speak to about 1,500 military families who live near Camp Lejeune, the Marine Corps main base on the East Coast. This will be the first election for thousand of Marines stationed there, where the average age is 23.
Id say the older forces of the county, the retirees, theyre still Republican, Mills said. But theres a lot of younger folks that see it differently and that have registered Democratic as a result of their interest in Obama. This has been the biggest movement that Ive seen in a long time.

I am satisfied today when I chose ethics, but I am disappointed when the criminals get away with cheating and stealing. An imperfect world we live in.
Washington lies, the economy dies.At the time, some people thought that was a god idea. But look what happened.In just 12 months between 2007 and 2008, Washington TRIPLED the federal deficit from $161 billion to $459 billion. Of course, our leaders swore on a stack of Bibles that this was a one-time-only event, needed to fight the recession.They lied. Washington tripled the deficit AGAIN ... to $1.4 trillion in 2009.Then, again, they solemnly promised that this, too, was temporary — for emergency purposes only.But that was a lie, too. The 2010 deficit was $1.3 trillion.Plus, the deficit for 2011 is the biggest of all: More than $1.5 trillion.And in a double-dip recession, the deficit could surge to $2 trillion dollars.All these dramatic changes and all these lies are what inevitably lead to the doomsday event that is now on the near horizon for America.Still skeptical? Then consider this shocking change ...We've sold our American birthright for a mess of porridge.In the past, Washington always borrowed nearly all the money it needed from its own citizens. But in recent years, it has borrowed most of the money from foreigners, especially China, and now it owes foreigners over $4 trillion dollars.That's over four times MORE than it owed foreigners when the U.S. plunged into recession in the early 2000s.But it still hasn't been enough. The White House and Congress wanted to spend even more money than Americans and foreign investors would loan us — combined.

Landlord Harassment, Neglect Continue Despite State Monitor, Tenants Say
by David Howard King, Jun 17, 2015
Published in Gotham Gazzette
Tenants celebrated when Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Tenant Protection Unit (TPU) appointed a monitor to oversee 51 apartment buildings owned by the notorious Castellan Real Estate Partners, but for the past two years those same tenants say the conditions in their buildings have deteriorated while the TPU has failed to take action.

Woman's Partner Wins Bid to Succeed in Apartment
Andrew Denney
New York Law Journal
February 13, 2015
An appellate court ruled Tuesday that a deceased woman's partner and longtime roommate should be entitled to succeed her in a rent-controlled apartment, saying that their "modest" intermingling of finances does not negate their "family-like" relationship.
Writing in WSC Riverside Drive Owners LLC v. Williams, 571144/12, the Appellate Division, First Department, reversed a 2013 opinion by the Appellate Term, First Department, that effectively granted a landlord's holdover petition denying Oliver Williams' succession into a rent-controlled apartment leased by Judy Singer.
NYC's Low-Income Renters Are Freezing
January 26, 2015The Daily Beast
by Kevin Zawacki
The city's crooked landlords frequently leave tenants without heat, often causing illness and unplanned bills.
When the heat fails in Keisha Jacobs' Brooklyn apartment during the winter months, discomfort is just one of her troubles. The frigid temperatures create a spiral of aggravation and unplanned bills that can mar the entire season.
Her two-year-old daughter might fall ill from the cold, Jacobs told The Daily Beast—and ailing kids aren't welcome at daycare. "They don't want the other children to get sick," Jacobs said. "And if she's not at daycare, that means I have to have another arrangement for child care. And that ends up costing." READ MORE for the rest of the story.

Bad habit: Nuns booting immigrant tenants in Hell's Kitchen
Dispute broke out when the sisters raised the rent by $150
December 29, 2014
The Real Deal, by Adam Pincus
More than two dozen immigrant women who have resided for years in a five-story single-room occupancy building in Hell's Kitchen have just over a year to find a new home, an attorney for the residents said. And the landlord who's giving them the boot? The Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
The Connecticut order of nuns, which owns the St. Joseph Immigrant Home at 425 West 44th Street, between Ninth and 10th avenues, is locked in a battle with a group of the building's residents who balked at a $150 rent increase imposed earlier this year by the sisters. To date, the nuns have filed 27 lawsuits in Housing Court to remove the women. READ MORE for the rest of the article.
Landlords Claim Court Bias in Favor of Tenants
String of Rulings Have Gone Against Property Owners
by Josh Barbanel, Wall Street Journal
December 29, 2014
A stream of decisions unfavorable to landlords in the New York Court of Appeals has many property owners saying the state's highest court is tipping the scale in favor of tenants. Since Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman took office in 2009, the landlords contend, the court has shifted from an emphasis on closely reading the wording of state law to a broader focus on public policy and how it affects vulnerable tenants.
"You have a Court of Appeals very fond of taking landlord-tenant cases and ruling in favor of tenants even if that means overturning past precedents and logical thinking," said Adam Leitman Bailey, a lawyer representing both landlords and tenants. Tenant lawyers said the decisions were firmly grounded in the law. READ MORE for the rest of the article.
Tenants Rip Program Tying Rent Hikes to Landlord Investments
By Jillian Jonas | December 19, 2014from City Limits
Bronx resident Soledad Franco has lived in her apartment since 1972, moving in when she was ten. A 2011 fire precipitated by an unlicensed electrician caused her to lose all of her belongings and become temporarily homeless. There have been at least four fires in the building since 2007—despite that, the owner won approval from state regulators on four occasions for extra increases to her rent.
Loraine Dellamore's building was allowed to deteriorate so badly and for so long that an organizer with the Flatbush Tenants Coalition (FTC) said the conditions were the worst she had ever seen, and included "sewage dripping on people's heads." As one of the tenant leaders, Dellamore spent two years fighting just to get basic repairs—and then contested the owner's bid for a rent increase, which she says was based on dubious costs.
Ed Maloney's Manhattan building converted to a condominium* in 2000. Soon after, the owner embarked on construction in some of the common areas. Much of it was done incorrectly or shoddily, which was well-documented by the tenant association, of which Maloney is president. Still, when the process was complete, Maloney's rent went up $171.68 per month.
They are three New Yorkers with a lot in common: All are long-term tenants living in rent-stabilized apartments. All underwent the process known as Major Capital Improvements (MCIs), where landlords can institute building-wide construction and raise rents in perpetuity—that is, pass the costs on to tenants, even after the work has actually been paid off. And all three believe they were abused by this system.
NEW YORK—Even the politicians of the city are not immune from constant harassment, eviction attempts, and overcharges from landlords—if they live in rent-regulated apartments. "I've lived here all my life," said Assemblyman Keith Wright outside his apartment building at The Riverton complex. "Since my mother carried me over the bridge as a baby."
The Riverton in Harlem complex was built in 1949, with over 1,200 units, and Assemblyman Wright's mother was the first to move into her building at the time. The residential development largely served the African American population as other projects like Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village restricted their tenancy based on race.
Today, it is one big melting pot and everyone, market-rate tenants included, are standing together against harassment from the landlords, Compass Rock Real Estate LLC, which is owned by CW Financial.
On Thursday, tenants and Wright filed a lawsuit against Compass Rock for $10 million for years of overcharging tenants through a variety of methods. "They are trying to nickel and dime us to death," said Darren Pearson, second vice chair of the Riverton Tenants' Association. Wright, who chairs the Housing Committee, discovered he was being billed multiple times for capital improvements the landlord may not have even made.

Rent Control Protections Upheld Twice by Hoboken Voters
Hoboken Fair Housing Associationhttp://hobokenfairhousing.com
November 15, 2013
Hoboken, New Jersey voters have decisively opted to maintain tenant protections in the November 5, 2013 election, exactly as they had in the November 2012 election. In spite of a well-funded opposition and concerns about vote-by-mail irregularities in both elections, the "NO" vote (upholding tenant protections) won by 122 votes, and by 52 votes last year.
These victories have a complicated history that began in the summer of 2012, when a developer/real estate investment group, Miles Square Taxpayers Association ("MSTA"), sponsored a petition-drive initiative to place a proposal on the November 2012 ballot as a local question.
The initiative allowed for permanent exemption from rent control all properties with 4 units or less whenever the current tenant vacated a unit voluntarily or by court-ordered eviction. For buildings with 5 or more units, the landlord would get complete vacancy decontrol (setting rents at whatever s/he wants) for each new tenant.
For the 2012 election, weeks in advance of the ballot printing, the Hoboken Fair Housing Association ("HFHA") members urged the city to change the misleading language of the initiative's ballot question, which read:

Dewalt nail gun!!! legal!!!! LMAO!!!!

DeWalt DID not make this. People can make home-made weapons, yes you're right. Watch In the Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood for an example.
An average nailer at 100pst can fire a nail (this is while pulling the switch back) about 20 ft. We used to do it all the time on job sites and fuck around.
Hardly the weapon I'd choose considering you have to hook up a compressor.
As for the battery operated ones they work on elastic energy. The force is very small compared to the power you get with a compressor.
Pulling a battery-operated nail gun on a perp will most likely get the shit kicked out of yourself.
THIS IS NOT a reasonable form of home-protection.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... hate to prick the balloon..... but.....
it is a fully automated m16..... he picked up the parts in yellow (which are used in 'safe zones, in military training'). and he had a dewalt store down the road and got inventive..... artistic? yes
funny? ... yes
deadly? ... yes
groovy?... fuck yeah....
officer: "is that a gun"?
dude: "no man, it's a dewault nailer"
What's with the goddamm mind games asshole? You call it a nail gun in your heading. Talk about how it shoots nails and then act intellectually righteous when you boast it's actually an M-16
You snizzling little shit.
Please verify you're human:
Reason for reporting:
The dangers of ramen noodles are self-evident to most, however there will always be those who will deny the dangers of consuming them.

Two Walt Disney World attractions, an upcoming Disney Cruise Line feature and a longtime Imagineer were honored with Thea Awards, announced by the Themed Entertainment Association on Tuesday.
- Star Tours, which reopened in May after a thorough retheming including the addition of a new 3-D film at Disney's Hollywood Studios, received notice for outstanding achievement in the "attraction refresh" category. The attraction shared the award with the similar Star Tours at Disneyland.
- "The Magic, the Memories, and You," the elaborate nightly projection shown on the walls of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, received an award for outstanding achievement in the "show spectacular" category. It debuted at Disney World in January.
- The technology for the Animator's Palate Restaurant aboard the under-construction Disney Fantasy cruise ship earned honors for "ingenious use of technology." Guests will draw characters on placemats, and, after dinner, later see their drawings animated alongside Disney characters in Disney movies. Although the ship begins sailing next year, the technology made its debut during a media event in May, according to a posting on the Disney Parks Blog.
- Joe Rohde, a vice president with Walt Disney Imagineering, received the Buzz Price Thea Award for "a lifetime of distinguished achievements." Rohde's career began as a model builder for Epcot, and it later included the development of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park and the new Aulani resort, which debuted in Hawaii in August. He has working with Imagineering for 30 years.
Winners will be honored at a dinner at Disneyland Hotel in March.

brought them for my son he say they feel real good

Not the best fit for my face
I have a smaller head, and though my nose is average sized at the bridge, I do have a small hump on the bridge of my nose. The result is that I have to use the smallest nose piece and pull the bands pretty tight to get good suction. But the biggest thing about these is that the nose piece is straight across, which means that it does not conform to my nose and leaves a mark, plus hurts.If I had known, I'd have ordered something different. However, I realize that it's always risky ordering online without having tried it on in the store.

FINIS Lightning Goggle
I like the low profile and that both the red tint and the black mirrored goggles are protective in bright sun and provide good visibility. I've used all color tints, both mirror and non-mirror, of this model for over two years and found them generally to be quite serviceable. I rotate 3 pair and find they last 4-6 months before going foggy. Nose pieces will break, sometimes right out of the package, but extra pieces provided. A good training goggle for a smaller face. I use in both the pool and open water.

broke before i swam 1 lap
I was trying to swap out the nose bridge for a shorter one and the post on one side snapped off. They never even made it in the water. Luckily I bought 2 pair at the same time and the other pair has worked fine. Just treat them like they're delicate.

Great Goggles!
Preferred goggles compared to many others for my 15 year old son. He trains wearing them and uses them during competition. Hold up well and don't fog up like others.
Dewitt, MI
Nice Fit
I'm a recreational swimmer. I like the low profile. They adjust VERY easily without being a swimming pro. They don't leak and are comfortable. I'll be swimming more now that I have the right gear.
Schaumburg, IL
Great form
Those look and feel a little delicate, but they sit nicely around the eyes (maybe too close to the lids) and the fit feels great. The blue color works great with my indoor pool lights.
Simply the best I've ever had
Fernando M.
Instant favorites
This is my daughter's favorite pair of goggles - we have purchased several (along with bungee straps to replace the plastic straps). They fit well, don't fog up, and are great either during daytime meets or under the lights at night.
Jill Z
Phoenix, AZ
Great training goggles
Sleek and comfortable. Wouldn't use them for racing but they are great for everyday training.
Chapel hill
Big suction!
I haven't worn goggles for 15 years and just started swimming laps at my pool. Maybe I'm just not used to them yet, but they may as well not have straps. If you barely press them to your face, they have, what I would call 'Insta-suction'. Almost too much suction. So, they definitely work to keep the water out of your eyes. I'm going to try different style.
Raemi V.
Lightning goggle
No complaints ! These goggles fit perfectly , are so comfortable and do not leak!
Brookline, MA
These work well for my young swim team kids!
My kids like these goggles - no complaints. I find it easy to adjust them which is key. I'd recommend them to anyone. Also, they don't seem to fall off when diving off the blocks providing that they are reasonably tight on their heads.
Robert F.
Narragansett, RI
Sleek Goggles
Easy to use, low profile, comfortable to wear, worth buying if you are looking for race ready equipment.
Kimberly M.
Richmond, VA
Nice low profile goggle!
I have purchased many of these goggles and am pretty happy. I love the super low profile, they are very comfortable & affordable, and there are excellent color choices. I took away one star because I have an odd problem... When I put my face in the water with them on, my vision is blurred a tiny bit. Its strange... but when I am not underwater, everything is clear and fine (with the goggles on). I have other goggles from different companies and I do not have that blurring issue... so not sure whats going on.
nice fit
Great fit, low profile. Doesn't hit my nose. Would like them to be a darker tint for more sun protection.
Santa Cruz, CA
Slim look is guaranteed to make you want to go fast
Filipino swimmer here. Great fit and good seal without excessive strap tension. The best part is the low profile which is similar to Speedo Liquid Storm and Nike H2000. I have the blue/mirror model and it's great during daylight and adequate at night. The mirror has a greenish tone and looks out of this world in daylight.I wish they had a prescription version and this would be the best of the best.
Jolly Bee
Love the goggles
The most comfortable googles, I"ve ever worn!!!

Jumeirah Wins Big at World Travel Awards
At last week's World Travel Awards, the Dubai-based luxury hospitality group was recognized as the "Middle East's Leading Hotel Brand." In addition, Jumeirah's hotels in Dubai—the Burj al Arab, Madinat Jumeirah, The Arabian Resort, and Jumeirah Emirates Towers—received a bounty of accolades. The Burj Al Arab, Jumeriah's flagship, was honored as the "World's Leading Hotel," not surprising for the hotel most often recognized as the world's most luxurious. Madinat Jumeirah, The Arabian Resort, received four awards including Middle East's Leading Resort and World's Leading Conference Resort. Additionally, the Emirates Towers won two prestigious awards: World's Leading Business Hotel and Dubai's Leading Hotel. (Notably, last February Jumeirah's business hotel launched the Chopard floor, an entire floor devoted to female business travelers.) Since its establishment in 1997, Jumeirah has won over 130 international travel and tourism awards. Starting in early 2006, Jumeirah will take over management of the Essex House in New York.

Intercontinental Hotels Group to Open Hotel Indigo in Knoxville
Opening in Spring 2006, the centrally-located Knoxville hotel will be Intercontinental's fifth Hotel Indigo. (Other locations include Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville and Dallas.) The 126-room, seven-storey property will be a conversion from an independent hotel, featuring artwork and furniture that change seasonally. What is the brand Hotel Indigo? It is billed as a brand developed for conversions, to rejuvenate properties that "aren't reaching their full potential, but are poised for success post conversion." Hmmm, sounds a little sketchy. But Intercontinental further explains that this "lifestyle boutique hotel defined a new category of hotels targeting the needs of consumers who are 'trading up' to affordable luxury and service, but still seek value and style." The Knoxville Hotel Indigo will feature plush bedding, whitewashed wood furniture, spa-style showers, hardwood floors, wireless internet, personalized service, and fitness studio. Sounds swell. But has anyone actually stayed in a Hotel Indigo—who can provide some insight?

Spa, Sun and Surf at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica
Business meeting in LA? How about taking it poolside at Shutters on the Beach? It's got one of the most spacious pooldecks of all the luxury hotels in LA, with full restaurant and bar service along with high-speed wireless internet access. (Not to mention the Jacuzzi with spectacular ocean views.) Shutters conjures images of crisp, white linens matched by whitewashed walls-- the sun-filled spaces the epitome of understated elegance. With a recent interior redesign, the spacious rooms are classy, elegant and reminiscent of a private beach cottage. This is beachfront living at its finest, just minutes from all the fine dining, luxury shopping, outdoor adventure and museums on offer in LA's neighborhoods. Jog along Santa Monica's 22 mile beachfront trail, then indulge in a custom treatment by Ole Henriksen at the hotel's ONE spa. At the Getty Center, forget the art; the building itself is an architectural triumph (comprised of blocks of unpolished marble with imbedded fossil specimens), with a killer view to match. Over the weekend, head to the Santa Monica's Farmers Market before hitting the luxury boutiques on Main Street or Montana Avenue.

The Best Hotel in Africa: The Palace in Ethiopia?
I overheard a conversation in the airport the other day, in the waiting lounge for a South African Airways flight. The subject at hand? The best hotel in Africa. Naturally my ears perked up, and I listened with glee to the descriptions of heavenly suites and excessive pampering at The Palace in Ethiopia. But it's a mystery! My research has turned up… nada! Have you heard of this mysterious, sumptuous hotel in Addis Ababa? Can anyone point me in the right direction (since—alas—Google has failed me)?
7 Star Hotels? What's Up with the Hotel Rating System?
November 14, 2005
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A recent article in The Guardian got me thinking about the hotel rating system—those hotels that strangely surpass five stars. The best-known example worldwide? Why the seven-star, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab takes that prize. Perched on its own island, its tower soaring above the skyline, the hotel is the landmark visible for all of Dubai. What's so special about a pad here? Personalized butler service, a laptop and private fax in every suite, an underwater seafood restaurant (reached by a simulated three-minute submarine ride), and an 18th floor spa with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea. The price tag starts at $1,000 a night.
With such over-the-top perks at luxury hotels these days (personal iPods and PSPs, and all the good stuff I've recently blogged about), it's no wonder that hotel PR departments are getting creative with their rating systems. After all, there is no global, standardized rating system. Sure, different tourist boards around the world have their own ratings, and Mobil and AAA are widely known, but a universal system? Nope.
That's pretty bogus if you ask me. What should we do about it?
Travel in Rajasthan, India: Jaipur's Taj Rambagh Palace and Oberoi Rajvilas
November 12, 2005
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
First Stop: Shop Til You Drop in Jaipur
Known as the "Pink City," Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1727. The rosy color of the city is alluring and magical at sunset, set against the backdrop of desert sky. By decree of the Maharaja, the entire city was painted pink when the Prince of Wales visited in 1876. Today, laws dictate that every building maintain this hue. The walled city of Jaipur was designed with the City Palace at its center, with tiers of public buildings and noblemen's residences spreading out from it. Main attractions include the Amber Fort—the temple within showcasing the exquisite Sheesh Mahal (hall of Mirrors)—and the Hawa Mahal, the "Palace of Breezes." This palace's latticework is like a beehive, the red and pink sandstone intricately carved. The elaborate facade has 953 windows, where the royalty used to glimpse secretly the city life below. The old city boasts some of the best shopping in the world. At the bazaars and markets, visitors find world-renowned jewelry (semi-precious stones, silver, bangles), brilliant fabrics, prints, embroidered textiles, shoes, and rugs.
Where to stay?
Taj Hotels operates the Rambagh Palace, a destination resort that used to be Jaipur's Royal Palace residence. Spread over 47 acres of gardens, courtyards and fountains, the Rambagh Palace embodies the rich culture and history of the former rulers of Rajasthan. The palace hotel was first built in 1835 as a hunting lodge, converted to a palace in 1925 as the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur and finally converted as India's first palace hotel in 1957. Pampered by personalized butlers and exemplary service, guests are invited to relive the royal lifestyle within this architectural masterpiece. Rambagh Palace offers 90 opulent rooms including the former chambers of the Maharaja.
The Oberoi Rajvilas is set in an oasis of thirty-two acres of beautiful gardens, pools and fountains, just seven kilometers from the city. Like the surrounding palaces and architectural treasures, the hotel is designed with reflective pools, decorated pillars, cool interiors and tented canopies with hand-embroidered fabrics. The hotel combines the royal elegance of the past with the modern conveniences of the 21st century to provide guests with an indulgent experience. Enjoy the very best of Western, Ayurvedic and Oriental therapies in the fabulous spa.

I really like this salt. I do not know if it is refined salt, but I think so. If refined, although there is no specification in its packaging, it would not be advisable. But anyway I acehi very good that salt!
Hain Sea Salt review
Posted by Reviewer2023013 on Dec 25, 2013
At first I ordered sea salt in the grinder but the salt was too coarse and overpowering. This product is a little too fine and pours out fast but is still very good and priced right. I would buy it again.

The front of the fortress is made from rock. You must avoid it.

IKEA has its own branded liquor. Who knew? I got the "snaps mix," five miniatures of beverages I'm unsure about. The set: svartvinbar; bittersot ortsnaps; akavit, kummin anis & fankal; akavit, kummin, dill & citrus; and citron & flader. That's all I have in English; the rest is in Chinese. So, any ideas about mixers for these little beauties, thoughts about which might be better without a mixer? Any insights whatsoever??! Thanks! Send air.

Pillowy Slippers to Buy Online
I wanted to get these IKEA slippers but I didn't get around to it before they went out of stock at my local IKEA. Where can I buy a similar pair of thick pillowy or quilted machine washable slippers online? Down would be nice but cotton/poly is OK, too.
Are there low-end bookcases without the cardboard-like back?
I was going to buy an IKEA bookcase, but I looked at the instruction manuals for all the ones I'd like to get and they all have a thin, fake-wood back instead of a real wood back. I think this looks a bit corny, and I've seen thin backs get absolutely destroyed. Target's bookcases aren't any better. I'll buy a bookcase like this if I have to, but - are there any places that sell relatively inexpensive bookcases with actual wooden backs?
Tips on rehabilitating an Ikea Poäng chair?
We have an Ikea Poäng chair. It's comfortable and the frame is in fine shape. The foam cushioning is in pretty good shape too. The fabric cover, however, is in rough shape. It's seen a lot of use and spent too much time in direct sunlight. It's (unevenly) faded and worn. Have you had a good experience replacing the cover through a third-party company? [more inside]

Mattress Missteps: Is Ikea the Answer?
Over the past year, my girlfriend and I have suffered through a series of mattress missteps to the tune of about $2500. Yesterday we were in Ikea and tried out the Sultan Heggedal mattress, which is $999 for a king. We were impressed both with the comfort and price of this mattress, but are trying to do some additional research so we don't make the same mistake again. [more inside]
How durable is the birch veneer on IKEA furniture?
I just bought this desk from IKEA . It was a bit of a splurge, upgrading from a busted-up old kitchen table that I have been using for a desk for the last, um, well forever and never needing to worry about coffee spills and the like. Now that I have this new desk, I want to treat it right and make it look good until I am old and worn out. [more inside]

How to furnish an entire apartment in the Algarve this week?
Mr. TEA and I have just become responsible for furnishing a two-bedroom apartment in the Algarve. The apartment is in good condition but entirely empty. We would be furnishing it for family use and possibly for rental.

IKEA Down Comforter Question: Will it get obliterated in the wash?
Last year, I bought a $20 synthetic MYSA STRA (warmth rate 1) comforter from IKEA. It fits perfectly inside my duvet, but it became a lumpy mess the first time it was washed. Granted, I only wash the comforter a few times a year, but still... it's a lumpy mess. I'm tempted to try the down MYSA VETE comforter, but I'm worried it'll also become a lumpy mess after one wash. I've never owned a down comforter before. Surely some of you own it. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Is it worth $90? [more inside]

Box spring or wood slats?
We just got a nice new mattress. It came with a box spring. We were using our old mattress on an IKEA bed (the Redalen, which I guess they don't sell anymore) with their cheap wooden slats, the Sultan Lade, as support. All things being equal, we'd stick with the IKEA bed and slats. But are all things equal? Are there advantages to using the box spring instead of the slats?
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world
Crate & Barrel has this modular shelving unit/desk hybrid which would be perfect for my needs, except the shelving unit doesn't actually hold very much. I thought IKEA had something similar but they don't really (their desk sticks out at a 90 degree angle from the shelves). Do you know of anyone who sells a shelving system like this (with a desk option) that will actually hold books. Thanks!
Almost a decade later, any updates on alternatives to Ikea?
I'd like to configure a recessed niche part of a rec room wall with some floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, a la the Ikea PAX system. I recently picked up an Ikea piece and was gobsmacked to discover just how horrible they've become since the last time I bought any. [more inside]
How much does quality cost?
Since moving cross-country several months ago, I've been gradually furnishing a small studio apartment. I decided that, for once, I'm not going to buy Ikea everything, and maybe try paying a little more for higher-quality quality items. Almost every one of my purchases has backfired. How much more should I be prepared to spend before I see reliable improvement in quality over Ikea and other lowest common denominator options? [more inside]
Stain to Match Ikea Table

The Great Meatball Mystery
This weekend, IKEA is offering a food special where the price of your meal is deducted from furniture orders of $100 or more.

Everyone loves Ikea's Swedish meatballs, but is the meatball market really THAT much more robust in Carson, CA? What's the deal?
Ikea bed and mattress suggestions

Maduro: A needed victory
It was fundamental that Nicolas Maduro should win, and he did win. But he won with a painfully small margin and this requires examining the reasons for the falling vote for Chavism and the notable increase gained by the right. It was a victory that revealed the methodological weaknesses of the opinion polls that from both sides predicted a win on the part of the Chavist candidate. Concerning the electoral victory, the first thing to be said is that the refusal to accept it on the part of Henrique Capriles is hardly surprising. This is what is prescribed for similar cases in the procedure manual of the CIA and the State Department when they attempt to delegitimize an electoral process in a country whose government refuses to submit to the orders of the Empire. While the gap between the two was very small, this is hardly exceptional in the light of Venezuelan history: in the presidential elections of 1978 Luis Herrera Campins, the COPEI candidate won 46.6 percent of the votes against 43.4 percent for his Acción Democrática rival. The difference was 3.3 percent and the second candidate immediately recognized the rival triumph. Earlier, in 1968, another COPEI candidate, Rafael Caldero, became president with 29.1 percent of the votes, over the Acción Democrática candidate Gonzalo Barrios, who won 28.2 percent of the votes. More recently, the present authoritarian stubbornness of Capriles contrasts with the attitude of the then president Hugo Chávez in the constitutional referendum of 2007, who calmly accepted his defeat when the No vote won 50.6 percent of the votes against 49.3 percent of Yes votes for the reform that he favoured. In spite of the fact that the difference was only slightly more than one percent, Chávez immediately accepted the electoral results. This is a lesson for the enraged loser.
Close electoral results are more frequent than is often thought. In the United States, without going further, in the presidential election of November 7, 2000, the Democratic candidate Al Gore won the popular vote with 48.4 percent of the votes against the Republican George W. Bush with 47.9 percent. As one recalls, a fraudulent maneuver in the electoral college of the State of Florida -- whose governor by chance was Jeb Bush, brother of George W. -- worked the miracle of "correcting the errors" of one sector of the Florida electorate, making the ascent of Bush to the White House possible. In a word, the one who lost won, and vice versa: a striking example of popular sovereignty in U.S. democracy. In the presidential elections of 1960, John F. Kennedy, with 49.7 percent of the votes, won over Richard Nixon who obtained 49.6 percent. The difference was hardly 0.1 percent, a little more than 100.000 votes out of some 69 million, and the result was accepted without complaint. But in Venezuela things are different and the right cries "fraud" and demands a total recount, when Maduro had already agreed to undertake an audit. What is remarkable is the intolerable intrusion of the ineffable Barack Obama, who said not a word when they stole the election from Al Gore, but who found time yesterday afternoon to say, through a spokesperson, that it was "necessary" and "prudent" to have a recount given the "extremely contested" results of the Venezuelan elections. Would he accept the ruler of another country telling him what needed to be done in the face of the murky U.S. elections?
This having been said, how can we explain the loss of votes on the part of Chavism? Obviously, there is no single cause. With the illness of Chávez (June 8, 2011), Venezuela went through a period in which governmental energy was in great measure directed to facing the unprecedented challenges that this situation posed for a political experiment characterized by the unbounded activism of the Bolivarian leader and the "hyper presidentialism" of the political regime that had been established since 1998. This description bothered Chávez at first, but later he quietly admitted that it was correct. Fidel had warned him, in 2001, that he should avoid becoming "the mayor of every village". In any case, the confusion that arose from the forced inactivity of Chávez had an impact on the management of public affairs, with the worsening of existing problems, such as inflation, the stampede of the dollar, paralyzing burocratization and citizen insecurity, to mention only a few. These are problems, it must be said, to which Chávez himself had alluded several times, and in the face of which he had proposed the need for a change of direction announced in the first Council of Ministers after the electoral victory of October 7, 2012, in which the Bolivarian leader called for critique and self-criticism, calling on his collaborators to radically improve the efficiency of ministries and agencies, strengthen communal power and develop a national system of public media as unavoidable prerequisites for the building of socialism. He pointed out in his intervention that "sometimes we can fall into the illusion that by calling everything 'socialist'...we might think that with this it is done already, a done thing, that this is socialist; I changed the name, and there it is". Hence his exhortation to strengthen communal councils, to move towards the socialization of the economy, of culture and of power. He rightly said that "we must not go on inaugurating factories that are like an island in a sea of capitalism, because the sea will swallow them up." In addition to these problems of state action there were other factors that contributed to social unrest and political unease: the right and imperialism were actively working, as they had done in the Chile of Salvador Allende, to sabotage the functioning of the economy and create unrest among the population through methodologically imposed scarcity of essential products, electric blackouts, the suspicious activities of paramilitary groups spreading terror in popular areas as well as the persistent campaign of denunciation and insults against Maduro, conveyed and magnified through the enormous weight of the mass media, leading to the desertion of a large contingent of voters.
The Bolivarian Revolution faces a delicate situation, but this is far from desperate or from inducing an anguishing pessimism. The blatant intrusion of Washington reflects the urgency felt there to put an end to the Chavist nightmare "now or never," as they are aware that this situation is not permanent. In the face of this, Maduro, as president, must respond with serenity and firmness, avoiding the trap of acting precipitously against the foreseeable provocations of his enemies. It is undeniable that he faces a society that is split down the middle, where the right for the first time has the capacity to round up and mobilize, at least on election day, some fifty percent of the electorate. It is not impossible to recover dominance in this terrain, but it will depend less on the radical character of official discourse than on the depth and efficiency of concrete policies adopted by Miraflores; it will, in a word, depend on the quality of governmental conduct in order to face the problems that bother the population, a theme which Maduro sensibly broached in his speech the night before last. We should not underestimate, in this picture, the fact that until 2016 the National Assembly will have a comfortable Chavist majority (95 out of 165) and that the new president can count on the support of 20 of the 23 governors of the Bolivarian Republic. The correlation of forces then continues to show a clear predominance of Chavism, and the response of many governments in the region and outside of it -- such as China and Russia, among others -- adds some important assurance for the necessary governability and to advance the fulfillment of the political heritage of Chávez and the already-mentioned "change of direction." We are confident that the valiant Venezuelan people will rise to the occasion and to face the challenges of the present situation.

Demi Lovato – Heart Attack – Jimmy Kimmel Live – Video
Demi Lovato took to Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform "Heart Attack" on the big stage outside! She plugged her upcoming self-titled album.
I love Demi, she's a great singer. But she is even greater when she takes the time to do good. A lot of her vocals were rushed and not though out. She's already a force and this would improve her live performances. Gotta love the way she emotes though.

OK, so basically, self-replicating robots are a no-no when it comes to robotics, because you don't want them to start taking over the planet and exterminating humans. I for one, don't welcome our robotic overlords. iRobot and Raytheon recently filed a patent which could be the source of something scarily robotic. Thankfully, this isn't exactly what they're after, but it wouldn't take much to make so-called "von Neumann machines" a reality with this device in hand.
The patent for the Robot Fabricator is for a machine that would allow products of all sorts to be autonomously constructed. Its capabilites would range from the creation of seed components to the assembly of finished products without any direct human involvement.
While we're still quite far from the scenario of what happened in the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, in which machines enslaved humanity, things could still go very wrong very quickly. If such a device got into the wrong hands grippers, robots could be popping up everywhere. Scary, huh?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not quite as scary if you're a shareholder, though. :)
IRBT has been beaten down and expectations lowered, do they beat earnings to the upside on Wednesday? If they do, pps eclipses 26!

Got To Be Funky E.P.
- Artists Luna City Express, Leix, Samu, UnoMas (MIA)
- Release Date 2012-12-24
- Labels Novo Music
- Catalog NSR004
Supported and played by Laurent Garnnier, Seth Troxler, Mauro Piccotto, Maceo Plex, Italoboyz, Luciano, M.A.N.D.Y, Dubble D / Moodymanc, Emerson Todd, Channel X, Butch, Gel Abril, Darren House, Someone Else, Andrew Grant, Anthony Collins, Leon, Nico Lahs, Daniel Sanchez, Hector Couto, M.IN, Coyu, Yaya, Julien Chaptal, Shinedoe, Brothers' Vibe, Mark Fanciulli and more.
After the good vibrations that left us the past summer course, in which Mr. Slade of Leix & Hitch was one of the most important tracks of the summer, Novo Music skips Novotek Raw Series back to the arena with their fourth installment. The responsible of this release is none other than Unomas (MIA), a newcomer from Miami, who designs a complete and suggestive sound universe on this Got To Be Funky.
Got To Be Funky opens the release with an excellent groovy exercise, marked by a full swing deep beat. Luna City Express shows us an awesome remix of this Got To Be Funky. The Berlin duo seduces us with his usual housy beats gravitating on a bright and warm sound speech, where the chords and keyboards take a prominent role from beginning to end.
On the backside of the vinyl we find The Rules, a vocal piece sculpted and polished with an excellent and sexy female vocal arrangements. Label chiefs, Leix and Samu, show us their well-known musical aesthetics with two great remixes. The first one, is heading towards a deep and hypnotic landscape.
While the second, despite maintaining the same line of the first remix, becomes something more dub, showing us at the same time, the inexhaustible source of resources that both artists treasure.An excellent and complete package which certifies the reason of the success of Novotek Raw Series and which, in all likelihood, will be one of the releases to keep in mind in this winter.
