I'm in love it makes my hair so soft would def recommend
Excellent service goods came in two days thank you
efficient and prompt. wish you sold clarins too.
My hairdresser recommended this product and it's very good. Keeps my hair in good condition in between trims.
manque d'échantillons gratuits accompagnant les achats, surtout pour les clientes fidèles !!!
I have been using this on my freshly washed damp hair to help moisturize it as it get's very dry on the ends. My hair is also highlighted so can do with an extra boost. I have noticed a little difference once blow dried that my hair is softer & more manageable although I still get the frizz. I also use this in conjunction with another new Loreal product before straightening & found that using them both together is better than just using one ( I have tried them each on their own.) I would say that this does do the job it claims to do & improves your hair manageability but has little effect on frizz (which is why I use the Loreal product.) I will be buying it again & it will be my regular product to use before blow-drying my hair.
Been purchasing this for many years and continues to be excellent. KMS is the best hair care range in the world - surprised more people do not know about it and it is hard to source in UK
more reviews for products not reviews for service, that are shown with products.
commande aisée , livraison rapide
Great product.
je suis une fidèle cliente mais je regrette le manque d'échantillons gratuits ! en revanche la livraison gratuite au delà de 15 euros est appréciable !
Used it for a long time does what it says on the tube
been using this for a long time hair feels great after using
Delighted with product
Great product
Great quick delivery and Fair prices.
Love kms products. Smells amazing and make my hair feel and look great.
I have LOTS of thick hair which is a nightmate to tame, this is one of the ony products (and I've tried many) that makes it manageable.
Amazing product, within a couple of days my hair was feeling soft and much more manageable.
Great product, not to thic, even for straight hair
The best - I'm now ordering this product onlline and shipping it out to Bahrain at additional cost (Aramex courir from London) because I depend on it, but it is not available locally any longer.
Essential for my hair makes it smooth & moisturised.
products arrive quickly and seem quite well priced

Seinfield: Season 7 [Sony Pictures - $49.95]
Look out, the Soup Nazi is in the building. Head's up for the falling rye bread. God forbid you ever see a doll that looks like your mother. These life's travails and more are the stuff of Seinfeld's seventh season and this DVD is the latest edition on the money train that is one of prime time television's funniest ever shows. This was the last great season of the long-running show, book-ended by the uproarious and unlikely engagement of George and Susan at the beginning and the tasteless treatment of Susan's unlikely death at the tail end of the season by glue poisoning, brought on by licking bad envelopes for their wedding invitations. In between, Elaine searches for "sponges" and truly worthy men to use them with, Jerry buys his dad a Cadillac, and Jerry and Kramer discover the hazards of low water pressure. [Amazon]

"I did not humiliate those detainees. I didn't hit them, I didn't act toward them unpleasantly. It's completely different than the American soldier some are trying to compare me to," she told Israel Radio. The IDF has condemned her behavior. Meanwhile, this is not the first time Facebook has caused an issue for the IDF.
Rape By Deception
Sabbar Kashur has been convicted of "rape by deception" after having consensual sex with an Israeli woman who believed he was a "Jewish bachelor looking for a long-term relationship." Reports from Jerusalem Post and Al Jazeera. Haaretz asks if this conviction sets a dangerous precedent for future cases. Al Jazeera's English-language Israel/Palestine blogger Sherine Tadros argues the 18-month conviction is racist.
Liebster Max, meine letzte Bitte
Dearest Max, my last request: everything that can be found in my posthumous papers (thus in boxes, cupboards, desks, at home and in the office, or wherever else they may be that you come upon them) of diaries, manuscripts, letters, my own and those written to me, sketches and so on, should be burned unread and without remnant, even all the written or drawn things that you or others have, that you might have asked for in my name. If there are letters that people will not turn over to you, at least they should promise to burn them themselves."

Agent and Multi-agent Systems: Technologies and Applications. Proceedings - Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence No. 5559 (Paperback)Anne Hakansson, Ngoc Thanh Nguyen, Ronald Hartung, Robert J. Howlett, Professor Lakhmi C. Jain, Prof. Lakhmi C. Jain
Paperback Published: 25/05/2009
- Can be ordered from our supplier
This volume contains the proceedings of the Third KES Symposium on Agent and Multi-agent Systems - Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA 2009)--held at Uppsala University in Sweden during June 3-5, 2009. The symposium was organized by Uppsala University, KES International and its Focus Group on Agent and Multi-agent Systems. The KES-AMSTA Symposium series is a sub-series of the KES Conference series. Following the successes of the First KES Symposium on Agent and Multi-agent Systems - Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA 2007), held in Wroclaw, Poland, from May 31 to 1 June 2007--and the Second KES Symposium on Agent and Multi-agent Systems - Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA 2008) held in Incheon, Korea, March 26-28, 2008--KES-AMSTA 2009 featured keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, and a number of workshops and invited sessions, closely aligned to the themes of the conference. The aim of the symposium was to provide an international forum for scientific - search into the technologies and applications of agent and multi-agent systems. Agent and multi-agent systems are an innovative type of modern software system and have long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing autonomous, c- plex and intelligent systems. A key development in the field of agent and multi-agent systems has been the specification of agent communication languages and formali- tion of ontologies. Agent communication languages are intended to provide standard declarative mechanisms for agents to communicate knowledge and make requests of each other, whereas ontologies are intended for conceptualization of the knowledge domain.

Shelf Life
In writing, and in life, it is incredibly difficult to deviate from the paths of least resistance. The established patterns seem so easy and inviting, and it takes amazing willpower and courage to do things a different way. As a writer, Jeffrey Eugenides gracefully avoids clichés and predictability. Both of his previous books, The Virgin Suicides and Middlesex, are memorable and unnerving. In his latest novel, The Marriage Plot, Eugenides is not alone in his avoidance of formulaic archetypes. The characters themselves are engaged in a meta-struggle to reject obvious and seemingly inexorable fates.
The Marriage Plot follows the intertwined lives of three central characters: Madeleine Hanna, Mitchell Grammaticus, and Leonard Bankhead. The novel opens in 1982, on the chaotic day that is supposed to send the three of them, and the rest of the graduating class, careening into adulthood. The collective mood is characterized by anticipation: professors have pulled out their dusty robes; parents have loaded new film into their cameras. But things are not as simple or inspiring for the young people who are supposed to leave the university's protective cloister and fend for themselves in an uncertain world.
The Girls by Amy Goldman Koss takes a look into the lives of middle-school girls and the cliques that can rule their relationships. This novel uncovers the world of bullying by presenting a first-person view from each of the five girls involved in the lost friendship. Throughout the text Koss digs deep into the workings of bullying and also gives hope to those that might experience bullying themselves.
Maya, Rene, Breanna, Darcy, and Candace have promised to be friends forever. But this all changes one day when Candace decides that Maya is no longer welcome to hang out with the girls. Maya is unaware of the girls' change of heart. She calls to invite her friends to go to an amusement park with her, but for some reason none of the girls wants to go. She soon finds out that the others are having a party, and no one even thought to invite her. This wouldn't be such a big problem except for the fact that the five of them usually do everything together.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami: "Japan's most highly regarded novelist now vaults into the first ranks of international fiction writers with this heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II. In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat. Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo. As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria." (Book Summary)
If you like The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, then you may like these selections:
Bharati Mukherjee's entire collection:
Wife, Desirable Daughters, Leave It to Me, and The Holder of the World.
All are excellent reads, dealing with Indian immigrants to the US, what they must go through to assimilate, or not, as the case may be, cultural differences and mysteries. Desirable Daughters is her best as far as place, character development and narrative.
The Tales of the Otori trilogy:
The first is Across the Nightingale Floor, then Grass for His Pillow and the final is Brilliance of the Moon. They are set in feudal Japan (or possibly a similar, fictitious country) during the time of the Samurai, when warlords ruled the countryside and battles for territory and women raged. The library owns the first two on audio as well as in print and they were fascinating to listen to, partly because the right reader was chosen.
What a wonderful introduction to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for the young (or a reminder of the message for the young at heart) to receive by watching A Muppet Christmas Carol with friends and family this holiday season. Muppet Gonzo the Great, as author Charles Dickens, and his friend Rizzo the Rat, as himself, narrate and add some Muppet mayhem to this classic tale. With music by Paul Williams and Michael Caine as a bemused Scrooge, this movie is sweet, funny, and heartwarming. I am a lifelong Muppet fan, and, like Jason Segal in his new Muppet Movie this year, want to save the Muppets from being forgotten. So suspend your disbelief and enjoy Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits!
Jacob and Robert Marley (Muppets Statler and Waldorf) are the ghosts who haunt and heckle Scrooge in song about his avarice and greed. The chains Marley & Marley show Scrooge, which he has forged in his life, rattle his black soul and he starts his journey of self-discovery. Scrooge, of course, is haunted by Muppet ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Gonzo and Rizzo go along for the ride and add a little slapstick humor. Mixing the classic Muppet repertoire with Charles Dickens' story is done seamlessly, such as the party at Fozziwig's (played by Fozzie Bear) Rubber Chicken Factory with Animal jamming on the drums--a delight.
Billy Twitters is your average, run-of-the-mill elementary school-age kid. Sometimes he doesn't clean his room; sometimes he doesn't brush his teeth and at times such as these his parents threaten him with punishment of the most unusual sort. "Billy, finish your baked peas…or we're buying you a blue whale."
The boy thinks his parents are bluffing. A blue whale? Impossible! It wouldn't fit in the house! But one should never underestimate the power of mom and dad. When Billy awakes the next morning, a ginormous fin blocks the front door. By this point, you'll be more than consumed by the tale of Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem.
Nickel and Dimed is the story of veteran journalist Barbara Ehrenreich's investigation into low-wage America. Before she left her normal life to pursue this project, she already knew something of the problems that these workers endure because of her research into other social issues. Ehrenreich had suggested to the editor of Harper's Magazine that someone should do an investigative piece about this group, but she never thought at the time that she would be the person to dig deep into the lives of the working poor in America.

J. R. R. Tolkien: The Making of a LegendColin Duriez
Perfect for Tolkien enthusiasts of all shapes and sizes, this delightful and accessible biography brings the enigma behind The Lord of the Rings franchise to life Long before the successful The Lord of the Rings films, J.R.R. Tolkien's creations, imagination, and charac... Read More
More From: Colin Duriez
Long before the successful The Lord of the Rings films, J.R.R. Tolkien's creations, imagination, and characters had already captured the hearts and minds of millions of readers. But who was the man who dreamt up the intricate languages and perfectly crafted world of Middle-earth? Tolkien had a difficult life for many years—orphaned and poor, his guardian forbade him from communicating with the woman he had fallen in love with, and he also suffered through the horrors of World War I. An intensely private and brilliant scholar, he spent more than 50 years working on the languages, history, peoples, and geography of Middle-earth, with a consistent mythology and body of legends inspired by a formidable knowledge of early northern European history and culture. J.R.R. Tolkien became a legend by creating an imaginary world that has enthralled and delighted generations.

- Insights Into Tolkien by Maureen on 1/8/2013
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, know as J. R. R. was born on 3 January 1892, in Southern Africa. He was the first son of Arthur and Mabel, and was joined by a brother Hilary on 17 February 1894.
Both boys had a had sad beginning, loosing their Dad in 1896, and their Mom to Diabetes, there was no treatment. They became the wards of a priest, and soon lived with a woman who gave them room and board...that is it. How sad, and yet each point of his life shows the rich mind he possessed, and later shows up in bits and pieces in his writings.
Love the reference to Hobbit, that came from his travels to Interlaken in Switzerland. What a mind he had, and was able to share with the World. He had in his lifetime become friends with C. S. Lewis, a former Atheist who came to know the Lord many think because of Tolkien.
He fell in love with Edith as a child, and later pursues her as a young man. I personally enjoyed this story, and bringing this man to life in my mind. He started out with such a harsh life, but the talent of this man is legendary.
I received this book from Kregel, and was not required to give a positive review.
- Great Book. Must read for Tolkien lovers by GraceforSinnes on 1/7/2013
Of Tolkien Duriez says, "Myth and story was embodied in language" (p. 143) and myth and story restore "a true meaning of ordinary and humble things that make up human life" (p. 176). That sums up his life and writing in my estimation. I've read Humphrey Carpenter's biography which is the official biography of Tolkien and I've also read the Tolkien Letters. Duriez's J. R. R. Tolkien: The Making of a Legend is as much a must read for Tolkienphiles.
I not only enjoyed refreshing my history of Tolkien's life but I enjoyed the writing and storyline Duriez presents. He covers his life from cradle to the grave. In the biography itself I gathered some wonderful Tolkien tidbits and memorable sayings.
It's also interesting how this biography and recent discoveries have intersected. Duriez reports,
One day Tolkien and Lewis would even plan to collaborate on a book on language, a project that never materialized. (p. 145)
Lo and behold this work has this month been uncovered. The Telegraph reports ("JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis joint work discovered")
The beginning of a joint book by CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien has been discovered in a manuscript book in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
An American academic called Steven Beebe, of Texas State University, San Marcos, had seen the material some years ago, but has only recently realised what it is. It is written in Lewis's hand in the same notebook that contains early drafts for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Magician's Nephew.
Lewis and Tolkien had planned their joint book, to be called Language and Human Nature, in 1944, with publication envisaged for 1950.
You should read this book but especially so if you love Tolkien--even if you're read Carpenter's or other biographies. You won't be disappointed with Duriez's J. R. R. Tolkien: The Making of a Legend. My only tiff would be Duriez teasing about the amount of information that could've been included surrounding the publication of The Lord of the Rings. Says Duriez, "Even his dealings with his publisher and another potential publisher could fill a small book" (p. 192). But then we get few details about the process as a whole.
Tolkien's work on Middle-Earth is timeless because he captures the essence of our life within his faerie stories and myth. He has an uncanny ability to penetrate into the depths of the human condition and uncover truth. For instance, he says after WWII
We are attempting to conquer Sauron with the Ring. And we shall (it seems) succeed. But the penalty is, you will know, to breed new Saurons, and slowly turn Men and Elves into Orcs" (p. 191 as quoted in Letters to his son Christopher).
Tolkien was right then and he's even more right today. You should read him and understand his life in connection with the larger corpus of his work. Duriez will help you do this.

Cornerstone Research
Want to Review a Different Internship?
4.8 of 5 stars
Boston, MA
Excellent, friendly, and supporting work environment. Work in teams with outstanding people. Exposure to the front-page big legal cases. Variety of cases and tasks. Opportunities to work with experts from top US schools and financial institutions and clients from top law firms.
The difficult part was to find accommodation for 6-12 weeks in the Boston area in the period when a new school year was about to start. Work-wise, Cornerstone Research is a great place for an internship.
This job requires strong attention to details, proactive thought leadership, and commitment to quality. It also involves working in a team environment. The work does not involve frequent travels.

New York, NY
Great culturePayReasonable hoursInteresting and relevant work
Ran out of things to do at times
Great chance to apply research skills in finance and economics to highly relevant and current topics. Team-oriented environment.
Washington, DC
I actually felt that my internship very closely resembled what my full time position is like. Applied things I was learning at school in a real world context including a lot of quantitative analysis. Worked with very talented people who also were a lot of fun in social events outside of the office. Also worked on a case team and was responsible for managing a few analysts which is different than most internships where you work individually on a particular project all summer.
Interview process was a little long. Did not get the location I was originally hoping for, but ended up really liking where I went.
If you are interested in economic consulting or a job where you can use quantitative skills and the information you learn at school Cornerstone is a great place to work. Exposure to many different industries and real responsibility even during your intership.
3.9 of 5 stars
Menlo Park, CA
The best aspect was that interns were not treated any differently than new full-time hires. The company invested a lot of time and money into the interns even though we were only there for 10 weeks. Within 10 weeks I had a very good understanding of what it would be like to work their full-time. The pay is also very competitive for a summer internship.
For a large portion of my internship, I was on a very busy project that involved long hours. I understood that consistent long hours were not the norm at the company (and find as a full-time employee that it is not the norm), but it would have been nice to have more time to explore a new city.
Cornerstone is a fantastic place to work. The people are top notch in respect to both intellect and people that you want to be around. The work is interesting and diverse. The internship is the perfect way to determine if Cornerstone (and litigation consulting) is a good fit for you.
Cornerstone actively tries to foster a work environment that people enjoy. I would say keep doing what you are doing.

I'm flying to New Zealand next week and figured that it would be a good chance to learn the basics of WPF. I've been flicking through this tutorial which seems really good but there is a lack of wifi in the stratosphere. Does any one know of a similar, easily downloadable tutorial for WPF or do I need to save all the pages on the website to my laptop one by one :(
Thanks, Patrick
EDIT: The MVVM pattern looks very useful so I would like a tutorial which covers implmenting MVVM in some detail if possible too.

I wonder how these same lawyers feel about the recent rebellion in Libya? Moammar Gadhafi's government was the "legal" government of Libya. But England, via the UN, aided in the insurrection there. That is probably different though, after all Libya wasn't a Crown possession.
This wan an exercise in academia!
The British lawyers weren't truly serious. It was a debate! Nothing more!
All this patriotic indignation is ill founded and frankly hilarious!

text: I want to provide a slightly more advanced ReplaceNamedValues, incorporating Tavis' idea of using a function (as well as a mix-in and a wrapper) and also the syntax from Velocity. That idea is to provide an extremely lightweight template package whose $foo.bar syntax is simple and a strict subset of more advanced systems like Tavis'. This would go in Webware.MiscUtils. We can then use this for things like the 404 message in WebKit and such. Developers can use it for simple templating and then later upgrade to a more advanced package without having to modify the templates they already have. So the point I'm leading up to is that here is my function interface and doc string. I'd appreciate it if you could review it and point out any flaws or problems you see. def replaceNamedValues(string, valueContainers, unknownValue=NoDefault, noneValue=None, regEx=None): ''' Returns a new version of the string replaced with named values that come from the valueContainers. The point here is to provide a more powerful version of Python's dictionary strings: format % dict # such as: '%(foo)s %(bar)s' % dict The first improvement is syntax: '$foo $bar' This is easier to type. Note that $ followed by a digit, as in $1, is not a legal identifier and not interpreted. Also, $$ and \$ yield a single $. Another advantage to this syntax is that more advanced templating packages like Tavis Rudd's TemplateServer, Velocity and webmacro use this same syntax. That means you can later upgrade your templating solution without having to modify any of your existing templates. The next improvement is dotted notation. This function uses NamedValueAccess.valueForName(), so you can traverse an object graph (including dictionaries) using dotted notation: $department.manager.lastName Parameters: string - The formatted string such as "Hello, %(name)s!" valueContainers - a list of objects that will be searched in order for particular named value. args - Optional dictionary of args takes precedence over the object unknownValue - The string value to use if a named value cannot be found. If not specified, an exception will be raised. Note that unknownValue is % with a dictionary contain the key 'name'. So for example, you could pass unknownValue='<span class=unknownValue> %(name)s </span>'. noneValue - The string value to use if a named value results in Python's None. If unspecified, "None" will actually show up in the resulting string. regEx - The regular expression used to match the names for substitution in the string. @@ 2001-04-29 ce: Provide a filterValueFunc argument which defaults to None and is invoked for all values: if filterValueFunc: value = filterValueFunc(name, value) Is that a useful hook?

Nelson Mandela, the 94-year-old former South African
president and Nobel Peace laureate hospitalised with a lung
infection, has successfully undergone a procedure to have
gallstones removed, the government said.
"The former president underwent a procedure via endoscopy to
have gallstones removed. The procedure was successful and
Madiba is recovering," President Jacob Zuma's office said in
a statement, using Mandela's clan name.
South Africa's first black president, who came to power in
historic all-race elections in 1994 after decades struggling
against apartheid, remains a symbol of resistance to racism
and injustice at home and around the world.
Mandela was admitted to a Pretoria hospital on Saturday a
week ago after being flown from his home village of Qunu in a
remote, rural part of the Eastern Cape province.
Tests revealed a recurrence of a lung infection and that he
had developed gallstones, the government statement said.
The medical team had decided to treat the lung infection
before attending to the gallstones, it said.
Mandela spent 27 years in apartheid prisons, including 18
years on the windswept Robben Island off the coast of Cape
He was released in 1990 and went on to use his unparalleled
prestige to push for reconciliation between whites and blacks
as the bedrock of the post-apartheid "Rainbow Nation".
He stepped down in 1999 after one term in office and has been
largely removed from public life for the last decade.
Mandela spent time in a Johannesburg hospital in 2011 with a
respiratory condition, and again in February this year
because of abdominal pains. He was released the following day
after a keyhole examination showed there was nothing serious.
He has since spent most of his time in Qunu.
His fragile health prevents him from making any public
appearances in South Africa, although he has continued to
receive high-profile domestic and international visitors,
including former U.S. President Bill Clinton in July.

A Florida woman is dead after a one-vehicle accident in Bay County.
23-year-old Kiaya Cardwell of Fountain was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
A witness told authorities Cardwell was driving on the outside lane of Highway 231 when she swerved into the inside lane and then over-corrected. The SUV overturned several times.
The 3-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries.
It's unclear if alcohol played a factor in the crash.

Senator [Stephen] Douglas is of world-wide renown. All the anxious politicians of his party, or who have been of his party for years past, have been looking upon him as certainly, at no distant day, to be the President of the United States. They have seen in his round, jolly, fruitful face, post offices, land offices, marshalships, and cabinet appointments, chargeships and foreign missions, bursting and sprouting out in wonderful exuberance ready to be laid hold of by their greedy hands.

The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.

Nor should this lead us to a war upon property, or the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus, by example, assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Source: 1861
In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour. And inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have labored, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each laborer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government.

Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we cannot hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far nobly so advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
Source: Address at Gettysburg, November 19, 1863
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.
Source: Second Annual Message to Congress, Dec. 1, 1862.
This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

We stayed two nights at Cherokee Lodge and had a very good experience. The house is cute and inviting, the two employees we dealt with were friendly and professional. We stayed in Room 2. It was large and comfortable, on the ground floor. Although AC is accessible, we just opened the windows and allowed the cool ocean breeze through our room. The house is centrally located, walkable to all stores and the beach.
The Cherokee Lodge offers a voucher for breakfast at Panera Bread right around the corner. The menu is limited and I missed the hominess of breakfast with other people in a family setting which is one reason why I choose a B & B in the first place. While there, we did not see or hear one other guest. Either it's VERY quiet there or there were no other guests.
For the price and the convenience, I would visit Cherokee Lodge again.

I am what one might call a technophiliac. I'm currently on a quest to learn python from the inside out. I have a good understanding of programming concepts as far as assignment, variables, classes, recursion, iteration, loops, and things like that. however there are many thing i still don't quite get. I'm currently enrolled in a computer programming coarse at my local community college (which covers VB, C++, and Java), but for a good while i'm going to be dealing with prerequisite classes. The first is "Intro to Computer Applications"... Funny right? I'm relly not looking forward to math II & III. lol

Governance under Sunshine
By Shiza Malik (The News International on Sunday) 3 November, 2013 - Access to information is viewed as an instrument for transparency and accountability, integral to good governance and people's effective participation in public affairs. It is recognised as a fundamental right in the world today, with 90 countries having passed legislation to ensure their citizens' right to know and many in the process of realising this aspiration.
Today, 200 million Pakistanis havle a constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right to information. In 2013, the populace enjoys legal cover at the federal and provincial levels. The concept is being embedded in local government related laws as well.
The 18th Amendment expanded the scope of fundamental rights in Pakistan attempting to make these in consonance with free and democratic societies of the world. Though the freedom of access to information and expression was enshrined as Article 19 in the 1973 Constitution, it was not until the passage of the 18th Amendment that the Right to Information was listed as a fundamental right. Article 19-A States, "Every Citizen shall have the right to have access to information in matters of public importance subject to regulation and reasonable restrictions imposed by law."

Definition of ignorance in English:
noun[mass noun]
- Our fear is based on ignorance, they loftily believe, and can be safely dismissed.
- There are vast tracts of ignorance in my knowledge and really there are lots of other people who know more than me.
- The legacy of Lindh is the confusion and ignorance that afflicts today's referendum.
ignorance is bliss
- proverb If one is unaware of an unpleasant fact or situation one cannot be troubled by it: I don't want to hear about them: ignorance is bliss in this caseMore example sentences
- Where pop music is concerned, ignorance is bliss.
- Ignorance is bliss and Reece slept well and happy that night.
- Ignorance is bliss to the general public when it comes to such sensitive and important institutions as the economy.
Middle English: via Old French from Latin ignorantia, from ignorant- 'not knowing' (see ignorant).
Ignorance is from Latin ignorare 'not to know', the source of ignore (Late Middle English), and ignoramus (late 16th century). The poet Thomas Gray first expressed the thought that ignorance is bliss in 1742: 'Thought would destroy their paradise. / No more; where ignorance is bliss, / 'Tis folly to be wise.' In 1615 King James I attended a production of a farcical play by George Ruggle, a fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. Its title was Ignoramus, the name of a character in the play, and it satirized lawyers and their ignorance. The use of ignoramus for 'an ignorant person' appeared almost immediately afterwards. In Latin ignoramus means 'we do not know', which in legal Latin became 'we take no notice (of it)'. The original use of ignoramus in English was as the judgement that grand juries formerly made on indictments brought before them that they considered to be backed by too little evidence: they would 'find an ignoramus'.

My weblog has been online for 2 years and it has a huge amount of PR2, PR3 and PR4 posts. The structure of my permalinks is:
Google news wants me to add numbers to my url, otherwise they will not use my site as a news source. So it has to look like
Date being for example 20080105
If I do this, I will lose all my pagerank pages. So is there a way to keep the pagerank and the date? For example only having post for 2008 have a date and keeping everything from 2006 and 2007 without a date in the URL?

Orix May Buy $400 Million Dubai Insurer Stake, Inoue Says
Orix Corp., a Japanese finance and leasing company, is in talks to spend about $400 million to buy a stake in a Dubai-based life insurer from a European bank, according to President Makoto Inoue.
Orix may acquire as much as 49 percent of an insurance holding company in the Persian Gulf state, Inoue said in an interview on Aug. 13. The Tokyo-based firm is now conducting due diligence to decide transaction terms, he said without naming the target or the seller.
"The Middle East is interesting," Inoue, 59, said. "There are many joint ventures with European financial firms there, and we see opportunities as banks are now struggling with their businesses and want to sell non-core operations."
Orix is also considering investment in aircraft leasing, asset managers and other insurers in Middle Eastern countries as European firms sell assets to rebuild capital and retrench in their home markets, he said. The company plans to sell about $3 billion in bonds this year to accelerate an overseas expansion plan hampered by Europe's debt crisis and Japan's record earthquake in 2011.
Inoue, also the company's chief operating officer, said the firm is targeting 300 billion yen ($3.8 billion) of private-equity investments or acquisitions worldwide in the next three years. Orix has made more than 50 merger and acquisition transactions globally over the past five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Disciplined Investment
"We view these investments in order to capture growth in the overseas markets positively," Jefferies Group Inc. analysts led by Tokyo-based Mac Salman wrote in a report today, maintaining their buy rating on the stock. "Historically their investment has generally been done in a disciplined manner."
Orix shares rose 1.8 percent, the most in three weeks, to 7,410 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo. They have jumped 17 percent this year, compared with the benchmark Topix Index's 5.1 percent increase.
To support global expansion, Orix aims to hire 50 local managers in 10 countries including South Korea, Vietnam, India, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey and Ireland, Inoue said. The company needs to add local people "urgently," he said.
Total life insurance premiums in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, was $1.8 billion in 2010, a 12 percent increase from a year earlier, according to a report by Alpen Capital. That compares to global life insurance premiums of $2.5 trillion in the same period.
Dubai Growth
Economic growth in Dubai, one of seven sheikhdoms in the United Arab Emirates, will quicken to as much as 5 percent this year, according to government forecasts. Orix already has leasing operations in Oman, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Inoue also said Orix plans to spend $1 billion to acquire aircraft in the U.S. and other countries over the next three years.
Orix Aviation joins Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc., Japan's second-largest bank by market value, in expanding its leasing fleet to tap rising demand from airline customers seeking to avoid the costs of aircraft ownership amid a global economic slowdown. The Dublin-based unit plans to boost aircraft under lease and management, and its customer base, by about 50 percent, David Power, who heads the business, said in an interview last month.
The lessor plans to increase its fleet size to as many as 250 planes over five years and to widen its customer base to 100 airlines in three years, from 65, Power said. The company owns and manages 130 planes.

I bought the silver 2011 GT Karakoram 2.0 on Saturday. My first 29er, upgraded from a Trek 820 XL Frame, $320 mountain bike. I had that Trek for at least 4 years and beat on it as hard as you can imagine. I adore the Karakoram, compared to the Trek its like a new Mercedes as opposed to a Chrysler 300. Disc breaks blow the old V brakes away. The bike is surprisingly light. Shifting is seemmless and silent as is the crank when you are coasting. 100 fork travels well for the price of the the, and the lockout is solid; makes it feel like a different bike on flat pavement. I crunch trails daily, and it it quite fast, and if you have any forward or downhill momentum, the bke truly glides. Center of gravity is easy to find, and was thought about in design. I love it. Zero complaints so far. If I have isses ill let you know, I put a good 25 miles a day on it. And if you want pics, I have plenty. Also another small but nice feature, metal pedals. You'd be surprised how many bikes from $700 to $900 use plastic. Hope this helps!

Mortgage System's Woes Not Isolated
"Robo-signers" who approve documents without reading them aren't the only example of sloppiness in mortgages.
As the foreclosure process comes under nationwide scrutiny, judges are questioning how servicers calculate amounts owed on loans. Some borrowers claim they lost their houses because of bungled payment processing and accounting. And there are growing worries about whether important mortgage documents were recorded properly, especially on loans packaged into securities.
At the heart of many of the current problem is that mortgage servicers' business model isn't suited for the high delinquency rates of the housing crisis and the pressure to rework troubled loans. It is hard for mortgage servicers to make money by doing anything but pushing paperwork through the pipeline.
Even before the mortgage meltdown, the servicing industry "was plagued with problems," such as servicers charging unauthorized or excessive fees and making false or unsubstantiated statements about how much borrowers owed, says David Vladeck, head of the bureau of consumer protection at the Federal Trade Commission, which has brought several recent cases against servicers. Mr. Vladeck said the FTC is now trying to "drill down" to make sure the servicers it regulates have the proper procedures in place to make sure underlying documentation is sufficient and accurate.
Servicers typically get paid a fee of 0.25% to 0.5% of a loan's balance, plus late charges and other fees when a mortgage tumbles into default. The mortgage-servicing industry is made up of scores of companies, from big banks to independent operators such as American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc.
But the cost of servicing a mortgage has more than doubled in the past five years, pressuring profit margins, says Edward Delgado, a former Wells Fargo WFC 0.04 % & Co. executive who now leads the Five Star Institute, a provider of educational programs for the mortgage industry.
The system has been further strained by failures and mergers of mortgage firms, as well as outsourcing parts of the job to law firms and other processors.
The consequences are causing a nightmare for the loan-servicing business and borrowers. For example, Fabiane Correa and her husband Luiz got a notice in September from Bank of America Corp. BAC 0.77 % that the mortgage on their Stamford, Conn., house was in default. The couple also was told that $6,638 was past due.
Earlier this year, Mr. and Mrs. Correa got a loan modification from the Charlotte, N.C., bank as part of the Obama administration's foreclosure-prevention program. She says they have made their required loan payments since then.
"It's very emotional and frustrating," Mrs. Correa says. The couple drove to Dedham, Mass., a 360-mile round trip, to meet with a Bank of America representative in an unsuccessful effort to resolve the problem. A BofA spokeswoman says the bank is looking into the matter.
Josh Ritz, who lives in Kent City, Mich., pulled $4,400 out of his retirement plan last year after Bank of America said he needed to pay that amount to catch up on his mortgage payments. He kept making his monthly payments until April, when a BofA employee said the bank didn't want his money because the loan was past due, according to a court filing in Kent County, Mich., where Mr. Ritz is trying to block foreclosure.
Mr. Ritz and his wife "tried to do the right thing, and they came out worse," says Karen Tjapkes, the couple's lawyer. She adds that it took BofA about six months to apply the $4,400 payment to their mortgage account.
A BofA spokeswoman declined to comment, citing pending litigation, but said the company "will research his concerns and address them directly with Mr. Ritz and his counsel."
Some bankruptcy-court judges have recently criticized loan-servicing operations for sloppy recordkeeping and dehumanizing customer service. Earlier this month, in a longstanding case U.S. Chief Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania Thomas Agresti said in a memorandum opinion and order that Countrywide Financial Corp. acted with "reckless disregard" in its treatment of a borrower who had successfully completed her bankruptcy and paid off all her debts.
The borrower, Sharon Diane Hill, was current on her mortgage, Yet Countrywide threatened to foreclose on her home if she didn't pay thousands of dollars in additional fees, according to court filings. Ms. Hill "did everything right" but was still "put through a grinding process by Countrywide," the judge wrote in his order. The mortgage industry should "take to heart just how devastating" its mistakes can be for borrowers, he added.
Countrywide was acquired by Bank of America in 2008. Since the acquisition, BofA said there have been revisions made to the bankruptcy-servicing process so as to avoid the errors noted by the court in its opinion.
A 2007 study of Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases by Katherine Porter, now a visiting professor at Harvard University Law School, found that the majority of mortgage claims made in bankruptcy court are missing at least one required documents. The study also concluded that fees are "often poorly identified, making it impossible to verify if such charges are legally permissible or accurate."
The industry's problems have been complicated by the transfer of loans from one firm to another as part of the securitization process and the demise of hundreds of mortgage companies during the financial crisis.
Alicia Lang, a graphics artist in Billings, Mont., says she was trying to refinance her $116,000 loan when mortgage company Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. collapsed in 2009. After making three payments to the servicer that took over the loan, she stopped because of trouble with the company's website, expecting to get a letter about where to send her money.
Instead, an employee at another servicing firm, Ocwen Financial Corp., called saying he was a debt collector and she was behind on her loan. Ms. Lang says Ocwen had been sending mail to a house where she hadn't lived since 2000. Her current house went into foreclosure proceedings this summer.
Yellowstone Bank, the Billings bank that made the loan, tried but failed to intervene on Ms. Lang's behalf, according to a state-court lawsuit she filed earlier this month seeking to block a foreclosure sale originally set for next week.
Ocwen offered to restructure the loan, but Ms. Lang says the company refused to provide a detailed accounting of payments made to the previous servicer. The modification would have extended her loan to 40 years.
John Heenan, a lawyer representing Ms. Lang in her suit, says she has parked 10 months of mortgage payments in a trust account. "This is an extreme example of what happens … when people's loans get bought and sold and repackaged," he says.
On Friday, Ocwen delayed the foreclosure sale to give the company more time to look into possible resolutions, says Paul Koches, Ocwen's general counsel.
