Re: short billed dowitcher
a small joke on me. I got the i.d. wrong, which is not surprising for these guys in non-breeding plumage. another birder correctly called it as a long billed dowitcher on the basis of it's call. and that actually is the name. Mohawk in origin I believe.

This gives us a vibrant array of cultures and activities on campus and a friendly, supportive and relaxed atmosphere where students and staff work closely together.
Our modern integrated campuses in Letterkenny and Killybegs encourage strong academic learning and career-focused practical experience. We have excellent facilities in all departments, such as a suite of graphic design studios, state-of-the-art nursing resources, special purpose laboratories, training kitchens and restaurant, and an on-campus business development centre, CoLab, to support spin-off enterprises. Our multi-purpose centre, An Dánlann, houses our excellent sport and recreational facilities in addition to our medical centre, counselling service, careers office and chaplaincies.
We are deeply committed to the people in our region. Part of our mission is to help raise the economic prospects of the young people who study with us and by doing so, the prosperity of the wider communities into which they will graduate. Thats why every course we offer teaches the latest knowledge and skills that employers demand. As part of this, we are involved in many cross-border programmes and are currently fostering a strategic alliance with the University of Ulster.
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at Letterkenny Institute of Technology!
The Registrar in conjunction with the Academic Administration & Student Services Manager co-ordinates Student Services. Student Services encompass:

Life as a third-level student brings a wealth of new experiences the freedom and independence of living away from home, taking responsibility for your own studies, making new friends, and learning new subjects. There are a variety of services and facilities at LYIT to help you make that exciting yet challenging transition from secondary school pupil to third-level student.
Your Student Induction and Registration process will show you how to use key facilities such as the library. Learning research skills and independent study techniques is key to your success as a student. Library staff and your lecturers are always on hand to help.
The Students Union (SU) is your voice at college. You, the students, elect your SU representatives each year and they organise events, clubs and societies on campus. They also have a place on the Governing Body of the college and on the Academic Council, through which they can bring attention to student issues and concerns. We strongly encourage you to get actively involved in your SU.
As an LYIT student you must uphold the good name of the college both on campus and in the community. Your Student Handbook includes the Student Charter, which outlines your rights and responsibilities as a student and disciplinary procedures.
Together with the ISIC Association and British Council IELTS, StudyPortals offers you the chance to receive up to £10000 to expand your horizon and study abroad. We want to ultimately encourage you to study abroad in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages.

The Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps made a stop at Cherry Point Tuesday where they fielded questions from Marines.
Commandant General James Amos and Sergeant Major Michael Barrett answered questions about downsizing and cutbacks.
The Commandant says he really doesn't have a clear cut answer-- but he does have some advice for Marines about how to make the impending cut as forces must draw back. General Amos says, "Be the best Marine you can possibly be as we being to make sure that we keep only the very, very best Marines on the re-enlistment option."
The recent debt deal calls for 350-billion dollars in cuts to U.S. Defense spending.

"The battlefield of Waterloo" Top 5 Page for this destination Waterloo by Mahieu
Waterloo Travel Guide: 55 reviews and 139 photos
Waterloo, is a small city in the Belgian province of Walloon-Brabant (Brabant-Wallon). The city owes its fame to the battle which took place on the 18th of June 1815. The Battle of Waterloo was fought between the French, under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Allied armies commanded by the Duke of Wellington from Britain and General Blücher from Prussia.
A lot of different places here remind of the horrible battle that happened. The most famous one is possibly "The Lion Hill" (la Butte du Lion) which commemorates the bravery of the Prince of Orange, who was wounded here.

The ABBA did not serve the cause of geographic knowledge with their English pronunciation of Waterloo. That's why many think it's in England. Good page Els!
Nice and full of history place. Good page.
Wow - Lion Hill was quite a feat to build -- and climb, I'm sure!
No doubt Duke of Wellington Arthur Wellesley is our great hero. May be next time as it was very tight last time.
Nice photos, Interesting info about the Battle of Waterloo.(~_~)

How to See Yourself As You Really Are
A Practical Guide to Self-Knowledge
Book Details
- Publisher : Rider
- Published : 2008
- Cover : Paperback
- Pages : 274
- Size : 198 x 126mm
- Category :
- Category 2 :
Tibetan Buddhism: General
- Catalogue No : 17236
New paperback edition.The Dalai Lama invites you on an exhilarating journey of self-discovery and inner growth. In this new book he explains that self-knowledge is a vital step on the path towards enlightenment, and reveals the time-honoured techniques that will help you to shed your illusions about yourself. With his guidance and gentle encouragement, you can embrace reality at a more authentic level of being - and see yourself as you really are.
The book investigates the Buddhist concept of emptiness and covers the need for insight, how to undermine ignorance, harnessing the power of concentration and insight, how to end self-deception, how persons and things actually exist, and deepening love with insight.
"This book stems from a basic Buddhist notion that love and insight work cooperatively to bring about enlightenment, like the two wings of a bird. The overarching theme is that self-knowledge is the key to personal development and positive relationships. The Dalai Lama shows us how, in the absence of true self-knowledge, we hurt ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, external events, and physical things. Even our senses deceive us, drawing us into attachment and negative actions that can only come back to haunt us in the future. The book details how to overcome these mistakes in order to live from a realistic knowledge of our healthy interdependence." Jeffrey Hopkins.
Read an extract of this title
"When starting to practice, be eager like a deer
trapped in a pen seeking to get out.
In the middle be like a farmer during harvest
not waiting for anything.
In the end be like a shepherd who has
brought the flock home."
What makes all this trouble in the world? Our own counterproductive emotions. Once they are generated, they harm us both superficially and deeply. These afflictive emotions accomplish nothing but trouble from beginning to end. If we tried to counteract each and every one individually, we would find ourselves in an endless struggle. So what is the root cause of afflictive emotions that we cart address more fruitfully?
In the many scriptures of the Buddha, we find descriptions of practices to counter lust, such as meditating on what lies beneath the skin-flesh, bone, organs, blood, solid waste, and urine. These reflections do indeed temporarily suppress lust, but they do not accomplish the same for hatred. And the reverse is also true: those practices taught for the sake of undermining hatred, such as cultivating love, do not act as cures for lust. Like medicines used to counteract a specific illness, they do not treat other illnesses. However, because all counterproductive emotions are based on ignorance of the true nature of things. practices that teach us how to overcome that ignorance undercut all afflictive emotions. The antidote to ignorance addresses all troubles. This is the extraordinary gift of insight.
As preparation for developing insight into how you, other persons, and things actually exist, it is crucial to study spiritual teachings closely, thinking about them again and again. This is important because in order to generate a state that allows us to penetrate clear through to reality we must first correct our mistaken ideas about existence.
To succeed at developing insight, first you need to identify ignorance. Ignorance in this context is not just a lack of knowledge-it is an active misapprehension of the nature of things. It mistakenly assumes that people and things exist in and of themselves, by way of their own nature. This is not an easy concept to grasp, but it is very important to identify this faulty perception, for it is the source of destructive emotions such as lust and hatred. In Buddhism we repeatedly speak of emptiness, but if you do not see how people mistakenly attribute to things their own inherent existence, it is impossible to understand emptiness. You have to recognize, at least in a rough way, what you are falsely superimposing on phenomena before you can understand the emptiness that exists in its stead. Understanding how you actually exist, who you really are without the overlay of false imagination, is the main topic of this book.
All of the Buddha's many teachings are aimed at attaming liberation from cyclic existence-with its endless movement from one life to another-and achieving omniscience. Ignorance is the root of everything that stands in the way of these attainments. Ignorance binds us to suffering; therefore ignorance has to be clearly identified. To do so we must consider how this false quality of inherent existence appears to the mind, how the mind assents to it, and how the mind bases so many ideas on this fundamental mistake.
Ignorance is not just other than knowledge, it is the contradiction of knowledge. Scientists tell us that the more closely we examine things the more likely we are to find empty space. Ignorance, by relying on appearances, superimposes onto persons and things a sense of concreteness that, in fact, is not there. Ignorance would have us believe that these phenomena exist in some fundamental way. Through ignorance what we see around us seems to exist independently, without depending on other factors for its existence, but this is not the case. By giving people and things around us this exaggerated status, we are drawn into all sorts of overblown and ultimately hurtful emotions.
Identifying this false appearance of things and acknowledging our tacit assent to this illusion are the first steps toward realizing that you and other beings, as well as all other objects, do not exist the way they appear to; they do not exist so concretely and autonomously In the process of developing an accurate assessment of who you actually are, you need to appreciate the disparity between how you appear to your own mind and how you indeed exist. The same holds true for other people and all the other phenomena of the world.
Meditative Reflection
1.All counterproductive emotions are based on and depend upon ignorance of the true nature of persons and things.
2.There are specific ways to suppress lust and hatred temporarily, but if we undermine the ignorance that misconceives the nature of ourselves, others, and all things, all destructive emotions are undermined.
3.Ignorance sees phenomena-which actually do not exist in and of themselves-as existing independent of thought.

Edit Article
How to Create Your Own Horror Character
In every great story, there are characters. However, in horror stories, there are great characters. There is usually a main character (the victim), and the murderer. Throw in a couple friends and family, and a twisted plot, and you've got a horror story! But, how do you create the characters? This guide will show you how to create the main character, as well as the murderer!
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Choose a name for each character. The main character should be just your average girl next door. Names like Brittany, Ariana, etc. are good. For the murderer, well, any name could be worked in there to create a brilliantly twisted serial murderer. Jack, Joe, Bob, they could all work!
2Create each character's background. Example: (MAIN CHARACTER) She was a play it safe, average girl who lived in the country. Simple. Now, for the murderer: figure out WHY they are a murderer. Example: His sister hurt him, got him sent to a mental hospital. Locked up for YEARS. While there, he swore to himself he will find her and kill her, as well as anyone who will get in his way.
3Figure out their THINKING STYLE. Example: The main character (an average girl) would think about normal things like how it went in school. The murderer would probably think more viciously and evil. Merciless. The murderer would also PROBABLY be thinking of ways to kill!
4For a good story, you should use lots of mind blowing details and good descriptions. Don't just say "I ate an apple." Say, "I bit into the shiny red superfruit which was a favorite of mine. Crunch!" See, that's more interesting!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- The main character should be innocent and likable, but the villain should be sinister, creepy, a bit psychotic, and scary just to look at.
- Do not copy other people's work! Plagiarism is a crime! Your work will probably be great!
- To get inspiration, you can watch horror movies like The Ring, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist, etc. While watching, try to BE THE MAIN CHARACTER. BE THE MURDERER. Think like they would! Remember: Do not copy the plot of these movies! Be original!
- Also don't be afraid to let your imagination flow! You can always revise your work later.
- Warning: If you use this guide, you will be (a) a great author and (b) more creative! You're welcome!
Things You'll Need
- Computer / Paper & Pencil (if you are going to handwrite your story)
- Horror movies (for inspiration)

Hi everyone,
We're first-time parents with a baby due in August. We found a great deal for a used stroller that we like on Craigslist. It's a good brand and the seller says it was only used for about a year for one child, but the stroller is 6 years old. Does it matter if it's an older model? I checked online and it doesn't appear it was ever recalled.
We bought our stroller new, but it was the floor model from the store and a year old (it was an UppaBaby, so pretty expensive). We just sold it on craigslist, and it was in excellent shape. Technically it was 5.5 years old, but we took really good care of it so I don't think it really mattered. Personally, I would go ahead and get it.
I think it's fine as long as it hasn't been recalled and it's in good shape. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Bought mine used. Wasn't even a fancy model.

Macaya means 'celebration, party' in Iorubá. Relying exclusively on voluntary work, the troupe was entirely cast of capoeiras, mostly of beginners without any previous experience in theatre or dance. Profa. Josi Rocha, besides directing and choreographing the troupe, was one of the main people behind this really-low-cost production. The clip above and the interviews below will be of great help and inspiration for those keen to jump into cultural productions/performances with their Capoeira schools. Continue reading

Encontro de Capoeira na Fazenda 33
For many years informal trainings, parties and Rodas at the Farm 33 (my Grandfather's farm) were part of my learning and Capoeira experience. Many friends, Mestres and students were there with me enjoying trainings, Rodas, bate-papos and parties. This year (from the 11th to the 16th of December) I want to bring my students closer to some of my friends (whom I look up to) to exchange experiences, classes and games in this relaxed environment.

Learning from Brazilian Culture – TV Clipping – Viver em Brasília

The research come up when we were discussing the slightly different functions of Capoeira as a social tool in Brazil and in developed countries.I also explained a bit further how the 'open introductory workshops' worked in our social inclusion program.

Safety is a big concern as parents send their kids off to college.
I found a great resource online for you to check out that might give you a better picture of the campus where your child is heading this fall, or you may consider sending him or her in the future.
The site is operated by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Post Secondary Education. It's called the Campus Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool website.
The website allows you to plug in any college or university that participates in federal student aid programs and pull up all sorts of statistics related to crime and safety.
The site does stress that the statistics represent alleged criminal offenses reported to campus security or police, not actual prosecutions. That's information you need to take into account when looking at the statistics. But it's a starting point that could give you a better idea if you need to do some more investigating if you see something that throws up a red flag.
The site, which I've included below, also includes links to various other campus security related sites.

Basically, these are my options:
St. Louis @ SF
Jacksonville @ Washington
In Free Agency, there are these teams available:
Min @ Phi
Cin @ SD
Den @ Hou
Cle & Bal
Oak @ Ind
Det @ Mia
Was & Jac
Buf @ NE
Hou @ Den
Seeing as most of the FA Defenses suck are faced with s**tty matchups, my best choice is either St. Louis or Jacksonville. So who would you guys recommend? My gut says st. louis, since troy smith already burned them once and lets be honest: with the exception of the cards, running up the middle hasn't worked for the 9ers against anyone else this year.

Nellie McKay's first album, 2004's Get Away From Me, had the logorrheic charm of someone trying to get every idea out of her system at once, lest she never get another chance. And she seemed intent on precisely that, publicly squabbling with her then-label and temporarily retreating to Broadway in the recent revival of The Threepenny Opera.
As a result, it's easy to focus on McKay's lunatic-fireball appeal, but the hymn-like "Gladd," from her long-delayed Pretty Little Head, offers a reminder that she's also capable of jaw-droppingly beautiful songs. With a Joni Mitchell-like purity, McKay sings a friend to a peaceful death over a simple series of piano chords that gently push forward with minimal ornamentation.
The approach isn't entirely new for McKay, but she's always attached at least one punchline. In "Gladd," however, she sounds more straightforward (not to mention lucid) than she ever has before, calmly offering up a reassuring farewell from the deceased. "It's been a long time coming and I know we've just begun," McKay sings, as both herself and the person she's lost. "All the pain has passed and there is peace."
Listen to yesterday's 'Song of the Day.'

She is in the business of tailoring and also chicken rearing in the Mkoba suburb in Gweru. Netsai is also a cross-border trader who goes to Namibia twice a month to sell products like seat covers, chair-backs, bedspreads, and toilet seats, which she manufactures herself. She also receives other income from her spouse's salary.
The challenges that she faces in chicken rearing are theft and the high mortality rate of chicks. As a cross-border trader, she is also affected by high import duty and transport costs to and from Namibia. If her business is well funded, she would like to expand her business by opening a shop where she would manufacture her products.
Additional Information
About MicroKing FinanceMicroKing's loans are guaranteed against institutional default (failure of MicroKing to repay Kiva lenders if the borrower repays MicroKing) by MicroKing's parent company: Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited.
More About MicroKing
This loan is administered by MicroKing Finance, Kiva's first partner in Zimbabwe.
MicroKing's mandate is to provide financial services integrated with advisory services and targeted training to the under-banked but rapidly growing Zimbabwean micro-enterprise sector. The intent is to mobilize the underprivileged as active agents in fighting poverty as well as to accelerate the country's journey back to economic prosperity where Zimbabwe was once known as the "bread basket of Africa."
Zimbabwean micro-enterprises are generally run by women and comprise a multitude of business types. Constraints on local production and manufacturing capacity have led to cross-border trading being the most common type of business.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Developed-Country Policies
In the 1990s mixed developments in the external environment affected developing countries' trade. On the one hand developed countries' GDP, an important determinant of the overall demand for developing-country exports, increased at a slightly lower rate than the long-term growth trends in these countries – just under 2.0 per cent for 1990–99 compared with 2.2 per cent in the 1980s and 3.0 per cent in the 1970s ( OECD, 2000). On the other hand, the market access conditions for developing countries improved, partly as a result of standstills and subsequent liberalization linked to the Uruguay Round agreements and reductions in tariffs following the information technology agreement.
The actual implementation of the Uruguay Round agreements, including the information technology agreement, had not been completed by the end of the period examined, but there is evidence that access to developed-country markets was improving in many respects. Nevertheless access continued to be impeded by high trade barriers in certain sectors, such as agriculture and textiles; and while progress was made on issues such as tariff escalation, the problem persisted in certain sectors, for example textiles and leather products. Finally, as part of the Uruguay Round agreements the WTO members committed themselves to take additional steps in favour of developing countries in areas such as antidumping, the implementation of which is important to review. 1

Whoa, did you think I was talking about these bad boys again? Nope.
Not quite as good as that Maserati owner that drove his own Maserati into a Muni maintenance trench, but pretty good.
Although, these Seattle vandals could use some dick-drawing lessons from the pros here in SF.
P.S. This is a $2.5 million car.

You know how sometimes you're playing GTA and you blow out a tire but you think you can keep going for a while, except thanks to the game's realistic physics engine you quickly realize how bad of an idea that is? Well, it looks like this guy has never played GTA
Unfortunately for him, his ploy failed and his vehicle ground to a halt, a couple minutes after which a squad of police arrived on the scene, automatic weapons pointed with shouts to get out of the car. The driver was promptly apprehended, but it is unclear at the moment whether this is just an extreme DUI or a getaway from another prior crime. It all went down on San Jose Ave around 23rd St.
We'll update with more info if we get it, but for the time being we're hiding out indoors from potential bullets.
This looks like 3rd and Harrison. I assume he was looking for parking near Trick Dog and ended up way out here.
Anyway, yes, gold-plated Lambhorgini.

Clearly some illegal activity happening here, which the_ssnoopy_show posted on the Internet for the benefit of some 2,800 instagram fans and much to the chagrin of Stanley Roberts.

You've always been bashful; you're just that way,
But your eyes are like billboards, they give you away.
You're mouth is a trumpet somebody else plays,
Long after the notes gone the tone usually stays.
And your chest a fine pillow with lining of feather.
Your hair is a family who's strands stick together.
Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano,
Played by a mind that the Lord only knew.
A tongue of an angel floats in red wine saliva.
Your teeth ravel porcelain made by Masters in China.
Your face can't be captured by pictures or words.
And your voice is a music that I never heard.
And your skin is a cream divvied out beyond measure.
Your nose is a peak never touched by the weather.
Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano,
Played by a soul that the lord only knows
Oooo ooooo oooo oooo oooooooo....

Jayson West got his first intimate look at the wing-T offense in 1999.
He was a varsity assistant that season at Center Grove, where a new head coach, Eric Moore, was installing it. Highly complex but highly effective when executed flawlessly, the wing-T got West's attention. He was an instant fan.
Fourteen years later, West — in his fifth season as head coach of Class 5A No. 1 Lawrence Central — runs a similar version of the same offense.
Although West isn't sure the unbeaten Bears (13-0) operate the wing-T as efficiently as tonight's semistate opponent, No. 6 Center Grove (12-1), he has no complaints about the results.
After all, a spotless record — and three players who have each rushed for more than 1,000 yards — speaks volumes about the Bears' offensive capabilities.
"I don't know if we run it as well as Center Grove. Those kids have been running the wing-T ever since (Moore) got here," said West, who left Center Grove after the 1999 season to pursue coaching opportunities in Florida. "They've been running it since kindergarten."
Perhaps. But the Bears have run it, or at least their version of it, effectively all year. They average just a tick under 40 points per game (39.9) and feature three players — running backs Alex Rodriguez and Isaiah Townsend, and quarterback Drake Christen — who have topped 1,000 yards rushing.
Rodriguez has ran for team-high totals of 1,239 yards and 17 touchdowns. Christen has rushed for 1,174 yards and nine scores. And Townsend has sprinted for 1,124 yards and 13 touchdowns and averages a team-high 11 yards per attempt.
But the Bears' threat doesn't end on the ground.
Christen has completed 83 of 162 passes for 1,604 yards, 17 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He averages 123 passing yards per game and just under 10 yards per completion.
"Our base is a spread wing-T. It's a fun little offense for our kids," West said. "They take ownership of it. They do a real nice job with it."
As dangerous as the Bears are on offense, it's their defense that gives Moore — who remains close friends with West — the most concern.
Lawrence Central gives up only 9.9 points per game and has yielded double figures only five times.
"Their defense looks like the Baltimore Ravens', and their offense looks like Oregon's," Moore said. "Jayson started here with me in 1999, and those kids play really hard for him.
"They keep it real simple and are a real solid football team."
One of two unbeaten teams left in the Class 5A (Fort Wayne Snider, which plays 11-2 Merrillville tonight, also is 13-0), Lawrence Central is bidding for its second trip to the state finals in the past three years. The Bears lost to Fishers 38-19 in the 2010 championship game.
"Our kids are great. I love them dearly. They're kind of like gym rats. That's what they are," said West, whose record at Lawrence Central is 50-12. "They love football. This is what they do, and this is what they want to do. They've really bought into the program."
By the same token, he knows the Trojans have done the same thing under Moore, who led them to the state finals in 2000 and 2008. They beat Carmel 36-33 in an epic thriller in the 2008 title game.
"(The Trojans) know their jobs. They're extremely well-coached and disciplined," West said. "On defense, too, they're so well-coached that they don't have to get out of their comfort zone. They have an answer for everything. And they play against high level competition every year.
"I'm sure they're not too worried about us. I'm sure they're worried more about them, and that's kind of how it works at the end of the year."

Abidos hotel brand debuts in Dubai
Dec 22, 2012 (Khaleej Times - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Abidos Hotels became the latest hospitality brand to start operations in Dubai with the launch of Abidos Hotel Apartments in Dubailand.
The tower has a total built up area of 27,501 square meters and features 132 well-appointed apartments offering a choice of one, two and three bedroom units.
Emad Azmy, President of Al Shafar General Contracting, or ASGC, which has built the property, said the opening of this hotel marks the debut of Abidos brand in Dubai.
Azmy said Dubai is the largest business and tourist destination in the GCC. According to available industry statistics, the emirate has 577 hotels and 75,171 hotel apartments as well as a further 11,307 under construction. The demand in Dubai's hotels sector increased by 13.9 per cent in 2010 with supply growth of 11.6 per cent, and in 2011 demand increased 17.1 per cent with an 11.6 per cent supply increase.
"Owing to the ever increasing demand, Dubai continues to be a wide-open market for hotel developers. There are clear opportunities available and we are keen to take advantage of this lucrative sector," said Azmy Abdulaziz Mohammed Saif bin Shafar, Vice President of ASGC, Patapou Uladzimir and Kirikov Yevhenii, were among dignitaries attending the opening event.
"The market is changing. Travellers are increasingly looking for spacious accommodations that offer excellent value for money with all necessary home comforts and facilities," said Azmy.
As expectations rise, convenient location, high speed Internet connection, widescreen televisions, 5-star service, the option to cook your meal, order room service or dine in a restaurant, full range of business and recreation facilities -- all play a crucial role in choosing a hotel. The Abidos brand has been conceptualized to provide quality lifestyle at affordable rates, he pointed out.
Abidos Hotel Apartment, barely 15 minutes' drive from Dubai International Airport, enjoys easy access from Emirates Road and Dubai -- Al Ain road. It overlooks the prestigious Dubailand Villas on one side and the bustling Dubai Academic City and Zayed University Academic City on the other.
Designed to provide residents with a comfortable and relaxed lifestyle, each apartment boasts an elegant living room with a private balcony, generously proportioned bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms and fully fitted kitchens. Rooms with a maid room can be provided upon request, and subject to availability.

Skip to comments.Samuel Alito on Second Amendment
Posted on 10/31/2005 8:22:54 AM PST by Dan from Michigan
Second Amendment Tea Leaves for Corrigan, Sykes, Luttig and Alito:
In Re Four Possible Supreme Court Nominees. In the case of Love v. Pepersack, Judge Luttig concurred in an opinion rejecting a section 1983 claim for an erroneous denial of a handgun license by the state of Maryland. Judge Luttig's concurrence stated, in its entirity: "I concur only in the judgment reached by the majority, and I do so only because Gardner v. Baltimore Mayor and City Council, 969 F.2d 63 (4th Cir. 1992), is the law of the circuit." The Gardner case involved a narrow interpretation of substantive due process.
In United States v. Rybar, Judge Alito wrote a blistering dissent from the majority opinion which held that, notwithstanding United States v. Lopez, Congress had the power to use the Interstate Commerce power to prohibit the mere possession of machine guns manufactured after May 1986, even though Congress had made no findings about the effect of such machine guns on interstate commerce. Judge Alito's dissent did not address the majority's assertion that Rybar had no Second Amendment rights because Rybar was not a member of the militia.
Neither case clearly shows Judges Luttig or Alito to support or oppose the Standard Model of the Second Amendment. However, I believe that both opinions suggest that judges Luttig and Alito are, at the least, not hostile to the Second Amendment. Moreover, a generous reading of the Fourteenth Amendment, and a willingness to take Lopez seriously are in themselves good signs for persons who support judicial enforcement of the right to keep and bear arms.
UPDATE: I haven't found anything yet on Karen Williams.
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Maura Corrigan has three notable gun cases, but none sheds direct light on her RKBA views. In a 2004 case, she wrote the majority opinion in a 5-2 decision creating a "good faith" exception to Michigan's exclusionary rule. The case involved a home search that discovered a firearm and marijuana. A robust Fourth Amendment is an important secondary protection for Second Amendment rights, and the Fourth Amendment has been devastated by "good faith" loophole for the exclusionary rule, as I detail in an Akron Law Review article.
Also in 2004, Justice Corrigan joined a majority opinion reversing the conviction of a longtime Michigan gun rights activist who had sold a firearm to undercover police officers in a sting operation. Justice Corrigan agreed that because the defendant had complied with Michigan's laws regarding handgun sales, his actions were not illegal. The decision bodes well for her attitude towards some of the law enforcement abuses and aggressive interpretation of gun control statutes which have too often characterized the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
In 2001, Justice Corrigan was part of 4-3 majority which applied a "strict textualist" interpretation to the Michigan Constitution, thereby negating an attempting to prevent Michigan's Shall Issue concealed handgun licensing law from going into effect. The Michigan Constitution allows petitioners to stop a new statute from going into effect by gathering sufficient petitions to put the statute to a popular vote in a general election. However, the Constitution forbids delaying the implementation of a new statute which has an appropriation therein, and the Michigan licensing law included a one million dollar appropriation for county licensing boards. As Justice Corrigan pointed out, anti-gun advocates still could have petitioned for an initiative to overturn the licensing statute; they were simply barred from preventing the statute from going into effect in the period before the next election.
It's a good start.
Alito is no Janice Rogers Brown, but then again he's no Alberto Gonzales, either.
Sounds good
Joe, thanks for the ping as always.
'Machine Gun Sammy,' a Perfect Halloween Pick, Says Brady Campaign
To: National Desk, Supreme Court Reporter
Contact: Peter Hamm of Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, 202-898-0792
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence on the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court:
How could it have gone in any other direction, from a White House that just gave blanket immunity to the gun industry, which refuses to bar terrorists from buying guns, that broke a campaign promise and put Uzis and AK-47s back on America's city streets, and insisted that records of gun purchases be destroyed before the sun sets on them twice?
It had to be a Supreme Court pick that favors legal machine guns.
In 1996, Judge Samuel Alito was the sole judge who dissented from his Third Circuit Court of Appeals colleagues when they upheld the authority of Congress to ban fully automatic machine guns.
"Earth to Sammy -- who needs legal machine guns?" asked Jim Brady, chair of the Brady Campaign. "The Chicago mobsters of the 1930s would be giddy. But the man I worked for, who gave us Sandra Day O'Connor and signed the 1986 machine gun ban, would be shaking his head."
"Judge Alito's ludicrous machine gun decision is bad enough. But it also indicates that a Justice Alito would attempt to prevent Congress from passing other laws to protect Americans from gun violence," said Michael D. Barnes, president of the Brady Campaign. "If Judge Alito had his way, the federal machine gun ban would have been struck down as unconstitutional, and the private possession of these weapons would have become legal."
Maj. Op. at ----. In other words, the majority argues in effect that the private, purely intrastate possession of machine guns has a substantial effect on the interstate machine gun market.
This theory, if accepted, would go far toward converting Congress's authority to regulate interstate commerce into "a plenary police power." Lopez, --- U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. at 1633. If there is any sort of interstate market for a commodity--and I think that it is safe to assume that there is some sort of interstate market for practically everything--then the purely intrastate possession of that item will have an effect on that market, and outlawing private possession of the item will presumably have a substantial effect. Consequently, the majority's theory leads to the conclusion that Congress may ban the purely intrastate possession of just about anything. But if Lopez means anything, it is that Congress's power under the Commerce Clause must have some limits. Cf. Charles Fried, Foreword: Revolutions?, 109 HARV.L.REV. 13, 36-37 (1995).
"Justice Corrigan agreed that because the defendant had complied with Michigan's laws regarding handgun sales, his actions were not illegal."
Kind of makes you wonder how it got that far in the first place.
I think this was a 2-1 decision. They make it sound as if he were the only one out of 25 or something.
Post a picture of him under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Post a picture of him with the front range of the Rockies in the background. Post a picture of him with the Golden Gate. Post a picture of him in Hawaii or Alaska.
Roger that ~ I agree with you 100%!
Thank the Ku Klux Klan. Literally. Michigan's gun laws were from the 1920's.
The guy is from one of the worst smelling parts of the country and acts like anything but an elitist.
Strange thing, he likes to eat at ethnic restaurants.....in Jersey.
Out west, there are only 2 types of ethnic restaurants: Mexican and Chinese.
The man's a liberal.
That's why you're on the margins, and will never be considered for the Supreme Court, Jimmy...my rights aren't dependent upon what you think I NEED.
The two I have bolded are two I find objectionable.
One of the really wonderful things about the internet is that it makes it easy for US to look at the primary source material so we can make informed decisions. Naturally, Moveon wouldn't know about that.
I eat at ethnic restaurants.
and I am no liberal.
You can't seriously tell me they have no italian restaurants out west?
Over where I live I can't go a block without seeing some kind of new ethnic restaurant.
What was so great about Janice Rogers Brown in comparison with Alito?
Thanks. It looks as if Alito will be the change from a "swing" vote to a solid conservative vote that we have been pushing for many years.
A blood traitor? For not going to St. Louis. Guess what, I haven't been there either. I was born and raised in CT but I'm no Eastern elitist.
You need to put down the crack pipe, FRiend.
Hmmm..... you make yourself sound like a "western elitist" with that post. And who gives a d*mn what kind of ethnic food they have out west? Who made you sole arbiter of those who are "traitors" and those who are not?
What proof can you offer us that Alito is a liberal? You know, aside from just saying he is.
JRB apparently believes the constitutional right of property - means zoning laws are illegal. so my neighbor is free to build a skyscraper next to my house? A toxic waste dump? open an porn shop? Just because they own the property? I don't think so.
Brown is definitely pro-Second Amendment. The strongest case I have seen for Alito, regarding a machine gun possession case, was that he is anti-Commerce clause (certainly, a good thing) but not pro-Second Amendment. My acid test is Second Amendment - if anyone thinks anyone peaceable should be disarmed, I simply have to assume they intend harm.
Rybar is a commerce clause thing and Alito is definitely on the right side of that argument. I haven't been able to find anything on Alito vis a vis an RTKABA being an indivdual right but all indications are that the guy reads the text for what it is and then moves on to original intent if the text is nuanced.
If the Brady group doesn't like Alito, then I like him.
" Thank the Ku Klux Klan. Literally"
I thought it was a reaction to the gangland wars.
I don't do dope and I don't chew rope. My sniffer dog was finding dead bodies before you joined FR, newbie. He found his first when he was 4 months old in September of 2003.
We're currently in Nicaragua looking for bodies or survivors. Can you match that?
My point, and I do have one, was that there are excellent law schools outside of New England. For example: Stanford, Northwestern, George Washington, Brigham Young, Pepperdine, Tulane, and Gonzaga.
An Auburn graduate (let's just say it's me) gets accepted into the Harvard Law School and on the first day of class shows up on campus.
He walks up to the tweed-coated second-year law student in his bib overalls and drawls. "Hey, y'all. Where's the bookstore at?"
The Harvard man is horrified and straightens his club tie and replies, "My good man, this is Haavad. We do not end our sentences with a preposition."
The Auburn graduate replies, "Oh, I apologize. Where's the bookstore at, A$$hole?"
Was he wearing his Sunday-go-to-meeting overalls? ;) And do they have Arby's in Nicaragua?
Thanks for the pings today. The country and the Bill of Rights are infinitely more protected today than they were last week. The freedom hating dems were denouncing Sammy before W was done introducing him. That can only be a good thing. It's a timely thing, too, since the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms act will be appearing in a court really soon. And don't forget Rebecca Peters and their nonesense at the UN. We need the Supreme court straightened out badly since they started citing international law.
It is a good sign.
Newbie? Ha! That the best you can do?
Can I match Nicaragua? Nah, though I've done my stint in the military, thanks very much.
Get over yourself.
Justice Brown towers above just about any potential nominee and was my sole preference for the vacancy. That being said, I am enthusiastically behind this choice.
JRB accordingly makes a swell *nuclear option* alternative for those might insist upon a female replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor...who, of course, herself replaced a male SC justice.
And FEMA hasn't coughed up a cent, yet.
glad you're back safely. btw, alito is a good guy.

Three bargains:
1. Because a nation or society will never be a fully secular thing, religious people and practitioners should provide clear public reasons for a public viewpoint, not private religious ones. A mature civil society acknowledges a group's public viewpoint – religious or secular – and condemns any private biases.
2. Religious people should recognise that just as they have a public viewpoint, others have their own too. Secular folk should recognise the unique contributions that religion makes to people's lives and society. I am no longer a Christian, but I know its value personally and it can be immensely important to people.
3. Finally, each person has the right to live his/her life as he/she sees fit. Any discrimination is wrong; just so, keeping laws or changing policy that promote discrimination is wrong.

Kidd Interested in Nets' Vacant Coaching Job
Jason Kidd—who just retired from the Knicks last week—is interested in the Nets' head-coaching job, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Neither the Nets nor Kidd's agent, Jeff Schwartz, immediately returned calls seeking comment late Sunday. Yahoo Sports was the first to report Kidd's interest in the job.
Seen as one of the most savvy players in league history, Kidd, 40, led the Nets to two Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003 and remains a highly regarded figure in the franchise.
The move would be an unusual one: Only two people in the last 30 years—Avery Johnson (Mavericks) and Mike Dunleavy (Lakers)—have gone from playing one season to being an NBA coach the next.
