The Recipe Club: A Tale of Food and Friendship : Loyalty, loss, and the ties that bind. These are the ingredients of The Recipe Club, a "novel cookbook" that combines an authentic story of friendship with more than 80 delicious recipes. Lilly and Val are lifelong friends, united as much by their differences as by their similarities. Lilly, dramatic and confident, lives in the shadow of her beautiful, wayward mother and craves the attention of her distant, disapproving father. Val, shy and idealistic - and surprisingly ambitious - struggles with her desire to break free from her demanding housebound mother and a father whose dreams never seem to come true. The Recipe Club sustains Lilly and Val's bond through the decades, regardless of what different paths they take or what misunderstandings threaten to break them apart . . . until the fateful day when an act of kindness becomes an unforgivable betrayal.

New Orleans Saints' Ramon Humber (53) reacts after recovering an onside kick against the Carolina Panthers in the first half of an NFL football game in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013. (AP Photo/Bob Leverone)
Having established himself as one of the Saints' best special-teams players in 2013, backup linebacker/soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Ramon Humber has been approached about the possibility of prolonging his time in New Orleans, according to sources.
The Saints have recently had early discussions with a number of their players who are due to hit free agency March 11 and whom they'd like to retain, including tackle Zach Strief, receiver Robert Meachem, linebacker Parys Haralson and safety Rafael Bush. Count Humber among them after he tied for third in solo special-teams tackles (6) and recovered onside kicks in both a Week 15 loss to St. Louis as well as a Week 16 defeat to Carolina.
He received almost 63,000 Pro Bowl fan votes for his efforts, which was No. 9 among special teamers. He wasn't selected for the game, however.
Positioned under inside linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne on the depth chart, Humber has also filled in well on defense in some of the Saints' specialty packages, recording 0.5 sacks and two tackles behind the line of scrimmage this past campaign. He arrived in New Orleans in 2010 after going to Super Bowl XLIV with the Indianapolis Colts, who lost that game to the Saints.
"We put a lot on his plate," Saints special teams coach Greg McMahon said when asked about Humber toward the end of the 2013 season. "And we know what we're going to get in this player -- he's dependable; he makes plays when he needs to make plays, so that's why we kind of lean on him."
The Saints have held the preliminary talks with Humber and the others while carrying an estimated salary-cap figure of $125 million. Recent reports have projected the 2014 cap could be about $132 million, if not more.
The primary objective New Orleans hopes to accomplish with any available cap space is to hold on to All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham, who's at the end of the contract he accepted from the Saints as a rookie.
The team has said it is pursuing a new long-term deal for Graham; or, if that doesn't materialize, it will apply the franchise tag on him. The Saints and Graham remained millions of dollars per season apart from a long-term deal as of Tuesday, Fox Sports 1 reported.

Southeast Asia Playing Catch-up on Internet Speed: Google
Slow response in loading this page? It may not be your provider's fault.
As Southeast Asia becomes increasingly wired, smartphone-filled and social-media obsessed, a Google study shows internet speeds still lag behind.
In a post on the Google Analytics blog earlier this month measuring web speeds around the world, Indonesia – the third largest Facebook market in the world – ranks as one of the lowest for web page loading speeding at an average of 20.8 seconds. This is more than six times slower than South Korea, where a website takes 3.4 seconds to load, one of the world's fastest, and China where a website takes 6.8 second to load.
Thailand and Malaysia fared slightly – but not significantly – better, with a page taking 9.6 and 14.3 seconds to load through a computer browser respectively.
But as mobile Internet grows dramatically in the Southeast Asian region, the pace of mobile Internet cannot keep up, with an experience "about 1.5x slower than [the] desktop experience," according to Google's statistics. This is especially pertinent for users in countries like Indonesia, where a young population is accessing the Internet for the first time through their Blackberries or iPhones rather than their desktops and usage of mobile social networking sites like Twitter are among the highest in the world.
"That's a very big difference, and that is even taking into account that many popular sites are already optimizing for the mobile visitor," said the report from Google Analytics.
Almost all of Southeast Asia's biggest economies ranked on the bottom of the scale comparing mobile internet speeds – including Indonesia and Singapore at 12.9 seconds, Malaysia at 12.7 and Thailand at 17.4.
Even in wealthy Singapore where technology infrastructure is ahead of its neighbors, many users still complain of slow Internet connections when accessing websites through their phones. Unlike India, one of the first markets in Asia to be 4G-enabled, Singapore will only be 4G-ready in 2016.
Still, this has not stopped users from snapping up latest smartphone models. The growth of Southeast Asia's smartphone market has been staggering – with nearly 7.7 million units of phones bought in the first three months of this year in the region's key markets of Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, according to market research company GfK Asia. Spikes in demand ranged anywhere from 40 percent over 400 percent over the same period last year in different markets across the region.
Indonesia – the region's largest smartphone market – chalked up sales exceeding US1.4 billion in smartphones last year, according to GfK Asia, and markets like Singapore and Malaysia have a smartphone penetration rate of 88%, translating into nine out of ten of the overall population.

The 2013 Maverick's Invitational crowned a new champion this year. Peter Mel from Santa Cruz won the event for the first time after three top-four finishes in the first three events in 1999, 2000, and 2004.
Big wave surf contests, unlike other surfing competitions, don't always run because big-enough swells coinciding with favorable winds are not an "on demand" occurrence.
Despite some very inconsistent surf, the contest ran, crowned a champion, and several Pacificans played important roles from two competitors to an additional four who played pivotal support roles.
Matt Ambrose competed again this year and has been in the contest since its inaugural year in 1999. Ambrose was the only competitor in the event's history to make the final four times in a row.
A feat that has not been matched, Ambrose is by far Pacifica's most successful Maverick's surfer and competitor and one of only three invitees to participate all eight times the contest has run -- a very impressive record. Mother Nature was unkind to Matt this year and his Round 1 heat saw fewer than 10 waves even break in the heat.
Less than half of those waves were in the good to excellent quality range that allow for rides scored in the good to excellent range with the two best rides counting (a heat needs at least 12 rideable waves for it to be fair to all competitors so that all six riders get a minimum of two chances each). Regardless of this year's poor luck, Ambrose has been a central influence on the next generation of Maverick's surfers from Pacifica which includes Colin Dwyer, Travis Payne, and Jeff Mustille. Regarding his history of success at the break and in the contest Ambrose said, "I grew up surfing Mav's so it makes me feel like all the time I put in paid off. This year it felt a lot different because the way everyone approaches Mav's now is totally different."
Colin Dwyer has been No. 3 on the alternate list since 2010 and is the first second-generation surfer following his father, a longtime Maverick's surfer, former contestant, and current judge for the event, Steve Dwyer.
Colin earned his first shot this year because of three invitees, including 11 time world champion Kelly Slater, who were unable to compete this year. Colin put in a great performance in his Round 1 heat, but the judges decided against him in a close decision between Colin and the 2006 champion Grant "Twiggy" Baker from South Africa. Colin's performance confirmed what many insiders already know -- Colin is among the top talents at Maverick's. Commenting on his experience this year Colin remarked, "Competing in the Mavericks Invitational was a dream come true for me. I grew up dreaming about surfing Maverick's. Since the beginning I've looked up to my dad, Matt Ambrose, and Shawn Rhodes for charging the place and paving the way for me. It felt unreal to represent the local contingent and I plan to carry the Nor Cal flag for years to come."
Shawn Rhodes, owner of the iconic Nor Cal Surf Shop in Pedro Point Plaza, played a key role as spotter on the cliff radioing approaching sets of waves to the judges. The judges with foreknowledge of coming waves could direct their boat captain to the ideal location in the channel for optimal viewing. Shawn is also a former competitor and had one of the longest runs as an invited competitor from the event's inception in 1999 up to 2010 -- only six other invitees of the original group were invited back that many times. Shawn, along with Ambrose has also played the role of mentor to the likes of Dwyer, Payne, and Mustille. Reflecting on his first year participating without a competitor's jersey Shawn had this to say: "That was the first time in my Mav's life that I spent the entire day watching Mav's from the cliff. I was glad to help. I'm hoping more P-town boys get invited next year."
Jeremiah (Miah) Johnson, manager at Nor Cal Surf Shop, was on the water in Andy Anderson's boat playing the role of on-water beach marshal. Miah kept time for the heats, handed out and collected competitors' jerseys, and acted as liaison between competitors and contest staff -- a hectic and very important position. Miah had a good day.
"It was a beautiful sunny day, awesome conditions on the water, bigger waves would have been nice, but the athletes looked to behaving a blast out there," he said. "I enjoyed helping the competitors out with jerseys, heat results, food and hydration, keeping/running timed heats, and watching these guys do what they do best, charge big waves."
Andy Anderson captained the beach marshal's boat -- a stressful task. All one needs to do is look at any panoramic shots from the cliff to see how challenging it is to captain a boat in that channel on the day of the contest. It is truly a flotilla. The boats in the channel don't anchor because the anchorage is too dangerous and with the swell, wind, tide, and currents -- anchoring would create more danger. So, all the boats are involved in a delicate, and hopefully cooperative, dance, constantly changing position and relying on the courtesies and skills of all the boat captains surrounding them. Andy had to keep his boat up front and partnered with the judges' boat, without blocking their view. Tricky to say the least. Andy did a great job and had this to say: "Being a part of the Mav's event was great. It's always nice to get a great group of people who are a pleasure to work with, especially when you're on a boat with them all day. The surfers, the Maverick's event crew, and sponsors made for a classic day on the water."
Steve Dwyer was a judge on Gary Linden's judging panel and has served in that role since the 2008 contest.
Steve had a difficult role judging his son (Colin) in the event and volunteered to step down to avoid the conflict of interest, but was asked to stay on by the event's organizing committee, trusting his impartiality. It proved a difficult task as one of the two closest and most controversial decisions involved the heat with his son. The decision went against Colin and Steve was not a popular family member for a few hours.
Asked about being in that no-win situation Steve commented, "Yeah, that sucked! I'm looking for my replacement as we speak. I will gladly step down so Colin can compete without that baggage. I am beside myself with stoke and pride for my son and nephew Travis Payne. It's their time. They both have excellent chances of being selected as invites for the main event next year. Thanks again to Matt Ambrose, Shawn Rhodes and Nor Cal for all the support they've given Colin and Travis over the years."
Travis Payne is #9 on the alternate list - and in the opinion of many Maverick's locals, Travis along with his cousin Colin Dwyer, deserve to be on the main invite list - are you listening Jeff Clark? Travis's role at the contest was to be anything the contest needed - be it rescue, contestant shuttle, photo caddy, or just popular guy on a ski in the channel accepting phone numbers from random floating beauties - Travis did it all! Travis and his favorite running mate Colin have been on nearly every swell at Maverick's for the last 5 years. Travis is a certificated paramedic in the city and is applying and training for a future as a firefighter like his father, uncle, and grandfather before him. "I had a rough 48 hours! Broke my leash and my board the day before surfing the city - brutal swim in. Then paddled out for a few waves at Mav's before the comp started and fell on an insider and my board hit my upper thigh so hard I thought it broke my leg. It made a huge purple bruise that looked like a nebula had birthed there. Can't wait for next year."
Don Montgomery has been chronicling the action from the cliff angle at Mav's for so long and with such mastery he earned the eponymous nickname: The Don.
The first published article on Maverick's to appear in a major publication (Surfer Magazine, 1992) was titled "Cold Sweat" and the pics became instant icons of surf photography. Don's shots were essential to the reputations and respect earned by Ambrose and Rhodes in particular and that notoriety helped earn Matt and Shawn their spots in the Maverick's Contest from the start.
Indeed, Don's photographic proof of their skills put Pacifica surfers on the international map of places with world class surfing talent. Many of Don's shots have appeared on the most reputable surf publications including Surfer, Surfing, and The Surfer's Journal as well as the pages of the Trib. Don has the deepest existing library of surf pics from between Maverick's and Sharp Park in the world.
Don was on the cliff again this year as he has been for every Maverick's contest.

Yashdeep to share screen space with Parul
But a person from the production clears "No, there is no such entry for Yashdeep from Perfect Bride and no such part has been scripted for him. The show is moving towards a different angle and will take a new turn but no such entry is expected."
This buzz has left us with several queries regarding Yashdeep and Parul. Well, only Yashdeep and Parul seem to know the truth though no one was available for a comment! Together or not, they still are managing to create a lot of news!

I just wish Daniel Levi would "get forward" and get his signature on a contract before somebody else (AKA Arsenal) does.
He's been photographed at their stadium.
Why hasn't he signed him already?
All for the sake of £2-3 mill?
Same senario as Cahill!!!!!!!!!!!!
We lose out on another quality CB that we've been needing for at least 3 years.
Please get it done DL.

At the round earth's imagined corners (Holy Sonnet 7)
by John Donne
Section I (Lines 1-8) Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 1-2
At the round earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, Angels, and arise, arise
- The speaker orders the angels to blow their trumpets throughout all parts of the world.
- Obviously, this is a bold – some might say "arrogant" – move. You can't just go ordering angels around to do your bidding whenever you want. You'd better have a darned good reason. Our speaker must think he has some major clout in Heaven.
- The trumpets are supposed to wake up people – the speaker commands them to "arise, arise," but we don't know who these people are yet.
- The most curious phrase in this entire poem is in the first line: "the round earth's imagined corners." Let's unpack it.
- This isn't 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue and some people still thought the earth was flat.
- We're in the early 17th century, and everybody knows the earth is round. So where would you "imagine" a flat earth? How about on a map?
- To say that the earth has "corners" suggests that a person could theoretically reach the outermost part of the earth.
- Donne wants those angels to be in the corners because, otherwise, how will everyone hear the trumpets. If you treat the earth as flat, then what's a poet going to do: put a trumpeter in Madagascar, one in Brazil, one in England, and so on? No, no, it's got to be a flat world, and the trumpeters have to go in the corners.
- We have even more evidence for our map theory: some English maps from the Renaissance had illustrations of angels blowing trumpets in the four directions: North, South, East, and West.
- In Biblical tradition, these angels even have names: Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel (source).
- The poem seems to be alluding to two sections of the Biblical Book of Revelation. Here is the first sentence of Revelation 7: "After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree." And here is the second sentence of Revelation 8: "And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets."
- Donne seems to be mixing these two passages together, and he gives the "four angels" the "trumpets of Doom" possessed by the "seven angels" (source).
- Lots of numbers, yes. In the Book of Revelation, when the angels blow those trumpets, lots of nasty stuff happens: trees burn up, the sea turns to blood, meteors fall to earth, etc. It's the end of the world.
Lines 3-4
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go,
- This poem is not a faithful description of the Biblical Last Judgment.
- Instead of having a bunch of terrible things happen when the angels blow their trumpets, the speaker takes it as a sign for all dead people to wake up and go find their bodies.
- In Donne's Christian theology, your soul and body are separated when you die, but you get reunited with your body on Judgment Day.
- Donne emphasizes that there are a lot of people who have died throughout history. So many, in fact, that he just lumps them all into some exaggerated, uncountable sum: "numberless infinities."
- To make things worse, all these souls have to travel to find their bodies where they died. The bodies are not all in one place – they are "scattered."
Lines 5
All whom the flood did, and fire shall o'erthrow,
- The infinite number of dead souls includes all the sinful people in the world, the ones who were destroyed by the Biblical flood that only Noah and his family survived, and the ones who will be consumed in the "fires" that end the world.
- The angels aren't just waking some of these bad people, they are waking "All."
- So, this line deals only with sinners. The word "o'erthrow" (overthrow) means to defeat or cause the downfall of someone or something.
- If you've read the Book of Genesis in the Bible, you'll remember the part about how God drowned the world after deciding that humanity had forgotten about Him and His laws.
- Well, not quite everyone. The virtuous Noah was given an advanced warning and allowed to save himself by building an arc.
- After the flood, God struck a deal with Noah: no more floods. But sinful people still have to deal with the "fire" after Judgment Day.
Lines 6-7
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance, hath slain, […]
- Here the speaker takes another approach to defining "All" souls.
- He broadens the category to include every kind of death – all the people who were "slain" or killed by various culprits.
- Let's bring out those usual suspects and take 'em one by one: "war" refers to people who died in battle; "dearth" indicates people who died from hunger; "age" makes references to those who died from natural causes; "agues" refers to people who died from sickness; "tyrannies" indicates people who died at the hands of oppressive rulers; "despair" refers to those who killed themselves; "law" means people who were put to death lawfully, and then there's "chance," people who died some accidental death.
- This group would seem to include both good and bad people. For example, good people die from sickness just like the bad.
- (We encourage you to tuck "ague" into your memory storage attic: it's a cool-sounding word for "sickness." Next time you go to the doctor with a cold, tell her you have an ague.)
Lines 7-8
[…] and you whose eyes,
Shall behold God, and never taste death's woe.
- There's one last category of people that Donne covers: the people who are still alive but will not be consumed in those end-of-the-world fires. These are the good people who are still living when Judgment Day arrives.
- The speaker certainly hopes he will be in this last group.
- These lucky few will never have to experience mortality or "taste death's woe." Their "eyes" will look on God in Heaven, as will the good people who had died in the past but have been resurrected.
- Now the speaker really has named everyone. Things could have gotten ugly if he had decided to keep naming more groups: "And you whose lips never tasted the foulness of prune juice."

Children's Hospital › About › Specialties › Pediatric Ophthalmology
Your child is having difficulty reading or learning. He may have struggled with a vision screening exam or even worse, surgery or medical treatment is needed as a result of an illness affecting your child's eyes. Who do you turn to for help?
Your pediatrician may refer you to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Why a pediatric ophthalmologist and not one who treats adults? Because children are not little adults and should not be treated the same way. Unlike adults, Children's bodies are still growing. Even their eyes.
Brain cells that control vision continue to develop throughout the first decade of a child's life. As a result, disorders that may have little effect on an adult's vision can have a profound or life-long effect on a child's ability to see. There are also some illnesses only seen in children. Other problems may not be exclusive to children, but may affect children differently. A pediatric ophthalmologist is trained to recognize and manage eye disorders and diseases in children from birth to adolescence.
Not only are Children's bodies different from adults, they also vary in their ability to communicate. Children frequently cannot speak or are so sick or frightened they choose not to speak. As a result, they are not able to say what is bothering them or answer medical questions to help identify problems. Pediatric ophthalmologists are trained to assess a child's non-verbal response and expressions to make an accurate diagnosis.
Pediatric ophthalmologists can diagnose, treat and manage all Children's eye problems. They are medical doctors who have had special training in the medical and surgical treatment of Children's eyes. Because pediatric ophthalmologists only treat children, they know what children need. Some of the services they provide are:
If your pediatrician recommends your child see a pediatric ophthalmologist, take comfort in knowing you are going to someone who has the widest range of treatment options, the most comprehensive training and the greatest expertise in treating Children's eyes.
As children grow, vision can change with them. It's important for parents to protect their child's eyes from possible injury and have their vision checked regularly. Ophthalmologist Dr. Gary Gitschlag answers some common questions parents have about their child's vision and medical problems that can occur.

Vikram-Surya in the race for Ponniyin Selvan title role
Mani Ratnam has already roped in Vijay and Mahesh Babu to portray the roles of Vandiyathevan, Adithya Karikalar from the historical novel. Now, the director is hunting for the title role, Ponniyin Selvan. The title is the sobriquet given to Rajakesari Varman aka Arulmozhi Varman for one of the greatest emperors of the Tamil Chola Empire.
Sources have said that the director is keen to cast either Vikram or Surya, as he thinks that one of them can perfectly fit the bill. However, The movie is the screen-adaptation of the Tamil historical novel 'Ponniyin Selvan', which was written by Kalki Krishnamurthy. Ilaiyaraaja will be scoring the music and it will be produced by Sun Pictures.

One announcement will put Yahoo over $15 forever. Buy Yahoo under $15 while you can...
Thanks coldone!
Great advice for those smart enough to take it.
You were right at $11, $12, $13 and $14. There is no doubt you were right again coldone.
Your continued useless posts under multiple IDs are one of the things that are destroying these boards.
If you have any worthwhile ANALYSIS, I'm sure all would be happy to read it.
But your worthless advice about buying or selling is of no value to anyone.
Thank you.
Advice from our most whining investor on this site. Thanks for the advice to short Yahoo at $28, $26, $22 and $19 coldone.....oh, right you said buy buy buy.

Improvements to driving performance include a new, inverted front fork for enhanced handling stability. The front and rear fenders and seat have also been re-formed, creating an aggressive design from front to rear.
The XR BAJA inherits the same basic performance and accessories as the previous model, but with an all-new color scheme, for a visual appeal that will set it apart on the touring scene and on the city streets.

Comments about GE Black Built-In Single Electric Wall Oven:
We bought this single wall oven to replace a smaller malfunctioning double oven in which the top , digital controlled, oven did not work. Bigger and better than old one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cook
Best Uses
This unit replaced a 20 year old 27" oven that finally died on us. Our main complaints with the old oven were that 1) the interior was very small (a 16" pizza wouldn't fit) and 2) unless you used the top rack, it would burn the bottom of whatever you were cooking.Compared to our old oven, the GE oven solves our main problems: we can fit more in it (16" inch pizza fit with plenty of room to spare) and the temperature seems consistent throughout the oven. A minor downside of this unit is an fan that exhausts out the front of the oven, just above the oven door. So, if you're cooking something that puts out a fair amount of moisture moisture (e.g. a turkey), you'll get steam blown into your face when you open the oven door.Overall, though, the positives far outweight the negatives and I'd certainly recommend this unit.

3D motion tracking

Lol, NICE!! Very simple setup so to see! Nice! Now let's make this an interactive game!
[...] my previous post I did a first test with 3D motion capturing, it worked, but it wasn't precise enough to make [...]
Ahhh… You are the guy behind project natal
I love your experiments kris!
u r the real programmer
I saw what you do, a 3D motion tracking and a WiiFlash Flight Simulator and i think if we mix two of those we could make a grand improvement i a 3D modelling. We could make drawings in 3D space. Imagine if we have a glowes with a sensors or a pen in each arm with a sensorns and we do for example in some 3D program, we could draw curves in 3D space, bend lines and so on.
awsome experiments, i like them, keep the good work
can create some games based on your code.Will you support me to create such games.

orasul unde locuiesc dragii mei prieteni Kyoko & Nobuo…🙂

From Wiki citire:🙂
Usa (宇佐市 Usa-shi?) is a city located in Ōita Prefecture, Japan. Usa is famous for being the location of the Usa Shrine, built in 725, the head shrine of all of Hachiman shrines in Japan.
– – –
There have been claims that products made in this town and exported to the US in the 1960s carried the label "MADE IN USA, JAPAN", for it to have an appearance that the product is "Made in USA". It is, however, a myth that Japan renamed the town "Usa" following World War II so that goods exported from Japan could be labeled as such. The town had this name long before the war, at least from the 8th century, and is not where the majority of Japanese industry is located.

Establishment Republicans have been delighted by the victory of Thom Tillis, their favored candidate in last week's North Carolina primary. After expensive advertising campaigns by establishment bagmen like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove's American Crossroads, mainstream conservatives believe they have a candidate who can beat Democrat Kay Hagan to win a valuable Senate seat in November.
UK News
from John Lloyd:
The UK's paradox of faith
When David Cameron recently proclaimed in the Church Times -- the organ of the Church of England -- that he was a Christian, that his faith helped guide him through life and work and that Britain is a Christian country and should be proud of it, he was met with a wall of disapproval.
from Anatole Kaletsky:
Will Britain really leave the European Union?
Is it conceivable that Britain will leave the European Union? A few years ago this question would hardly have been worth asking. In the past 12 months, however, the issue of EU withdrawal has shot into the British political headlines.
from John Lloyd:
On Syria, England defects
Thursday's British House of Commons vote against Britain aiding in a Syrian intervention led me to center on one question: what will happen to the U.S.-UK relationship? Is that alliance now gravely weakened? Can it survive in a meaningful form?
from Hugo Dixon:
Cameron, UK hurt by Syria vote fiasco
Rarely has a UK prime minister done so much damage to himself in a single week as David Cameron has with his mishandling of a vote authorising military action against Syria. Cameron may cling onto power after his stunning parliamentary defeat on Thursday night, but he will cut a diminished figure on the domestic and international stage. In the process, he has also damaged Britain's influence.
from Nicholas Wapshott:
David Cameron takes on the tax havens
There is nothing more likely to spark anger than an unfair tax regime. The American Revolution was founded on it. So the discovery that some of the largest and most successful companies in the world -- among them Google, Apple, Amazon and Starbucks -- have legally minimized the tax they pay, sometimes to as low as zero, in many nations in which they earn the lion's share of their revenue is causing considerable irritation.
from John Lloyd:
England's inevitable gay union
Earlier this week the British Parliament housed a restrained, sometimes mawkish and at times moving debate on gay marriage – and the bill passed the House of Commons, 400 to 175. The story was not that it passed, which had been expected. Instead, it was the split in the major governing party, the Conservatives, more of whose 303 MPs voted against the bill than for it. (Conservatives voted 136 in favor of the bill, with 127 voting no, five abstentions and 35 not registering a vote.) Prime Minister David Cameron, still intent on ensuring that his party is liberal as well as conservative, was emollient and understanding of those against the measure but presented his support in the context of a "strong belief in marriage. … It's about equality but also about making our society stronger."
from The Great Debate:
Britain's austerity experiment is faltering
It was the Welsh sage Alan Watkins who remarked that a budget that looked good the day it was delivered to the British Parliament was sure to look terrible a week later, and vice versa. The avalanche of new information dumped by the Treasury is simply too much to grasp at a single sitting, and governments tend to bury bad news in a welter of statistics. And so it proved with finance minister George Osborne's budget served up last week.
from The Great Debate:
Should Obama mimic David Cameron's austerity?
By Nicholas Wapshott
The opinions expressed are his own.
In medieval times, a key member of a monarch's retinue was the food taster, a hapless fellow who ate what his master was about to eat. If the taster survived, the food was deemed safe for the king's consumption. President Obama has a taster of sorts in David Cameron, the British prime minister, who has embarked upon an economic experiment that echoes the recipe of wholesale public spending cuts and tax hikes needed if both sides in Congress are to agree to raising the federal government debt ceiling. How the British economy is faring offers Obama an idea of what a similarly radical policy of cutting and taxing here would mean to the American economy.
from Blogs Dashboard:
Claws out
Russia and Britain are rowing over how to respond to Iran's
nuclear programme, MPs are scurrying to push through legislation
for a referendum on changing the UK voting system and inflation

History and Location
Mary Farley Ames Lee, a 1938 graduate of Longwood University (then known as the State Teachers College), bequeathed Hull Springs Farm to the Longwood University Foundation, Inc., in 1999 to protect the property from development.
The 662-acre farm in Westmoreland County, Virginia, was cultivated for hundreds of years to produce corn, soybeans, timber and other crops. It is situated on Virginia's Northern Neck between Aimes Creek and Glebe Creek, both tributaries of the Potomac River, just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay.
The property has approximately 8,400 feet of tidal shoreline and offers stunning views of Lower Machodoc Creek, wildlife, forests and open land. With 160-acres in agricultural fields and more than 400 acres in forest, it is an excellent demonstration site to develop, apply and study replicable best management practices.
While living at Hull Springs Farm, Mary Farley Ames Lee watched as the land across the creek and around the farm was subdivided and developed. She watched as the natural shorelines of trees and shrubs gave way to seawalls, revetments and fescue lawns mowed to the water's edge. She was keenly aware of the increasing degradation of the Chesapeake Bay and the declining numbers of watermen. Mrs. Lee donated Hull Springs Farm to Longwood University Foundation, Inc., on the condition that it not be subdivided for commercial or residential purposes, and that it be used solely for agricultural, archaeological, forestral, natural resource conservation, and educational purposes.
Born in 1917 in Arlington, Va., Mary Farley graduated from Longwood University (then State Teachers College) in 1938 with a degree in education. She later earned a graduate degree in business from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC.
After college, she returned to Arlington, where she worked in her family's retail lumber business. During World War II, she was personnel director for the Fourth Civil Service Region in Winston-Salem, NC. In 1947, she returned to Arlington and was hired as the registrar of voters for the county, a position she held until 1973.
Mrs. Lee is buried nearby at Yeocomico Church.

After deliberating for nearly three and a half hours, the jury found Brandon C. Johnson, 25, guilty of first-degree murder and armed criminal action for the shooting death of Jemorrio A. Betts, 20, of Charleston, on May 9, 2004.
The trial was held at the Mississippi County Courthouse with Judge William Seay of the 42nd Circuit Court Division 1 presiding on a change of venue and judge.
Johnson's trial was originally scheduled to take place in May 2006 but was rescheduled when a defense attorney failed to appear.
Scott County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Boyd, who called 11 witnesses during the trial, described the incident as "ambush, deliberate premeditated murder in the first degree."
Boyd described how Betts and three friends -- Dontay Clark, Jaituan McCain and Tico Woods -- were heading northbound on Highway 61 to Mr. C's from Sikeston when they spotted two cars on the southbound side of the road by the Sikeston Area Higher Education Center.
Clark reportedly saw Johnson near the cars wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and red sweatpants.
After arriving at Mr. C's, "both cars follow Jemorrio's car into the lot," Boyd said, blocking him in.
Boyd said as Betts attempted to maneuver his car out of the parking lot, a person approached the passenger side of the vehicle wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled tightly around his face.
"They got ambushed: pop pop pop!" Boyd said. "Both Dontay and Jaituan knew the shooter as Brandon Johnson."
Following the shooting at about 12:39 a.m., Betts entered the night club and collapsed on the floor, according to police reports. He was then pronounced dead at around 1 a.m. at Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston.
Dr. Michael D. Zaricor, a pathologist at the Mineral Area Regional Medical Center in Farmington, testified Friday that his autopsy determined the bullet that killed Betts struck a rib and changed direction to hit his lung and aorta.
"Within three or four minutes, he bled to death," Zaricor said. He said the cause of death was blood loss due to the gunshot wound.
Key evidence for the prosecution included a .22-caliber revolver believed to be the murder weapon and a black hooded sweatshirt found by investigators within a couple hours of the incident about 15-20 feet apart from each other and 200-250 feet from Mr. C's on Highway 61.
"This is what they call a 'throwaway' -- you shoot someone and get rid of it," Boyd said of the weapon.
"The best evidence," he said, "is the words from the defendant's mouth."
Johnson, who was arrested within a couple of hours of the incident, "told officers at least six different stories," according to Boyd, starting with outright denials but then, when faced with evidence, making "admissions toward guilt" without confessing to the shooting.
The prosecutor noted how Johnson first denied knowing Chance Kitchen of Charleston, who was also killed that same night, but later admitted they were friends.
Boyd said Johnson also told investigators he never owned and has never worn a black hooded sweatshirt but then, when asked if a hair or DNA sample from the black hoodie could end up matching his, said he wears friends' clothes at times.
Johnson also reportedly denied owning a .22 caliber revolver but then said under questioning that it was possible his fingerprints could be found on one of his friend's guns as he has touched most of them.
If not guilty, Boyd said, "all he had to do was tell the simple truth the first time. ... Why lie about simple things?"
During the trial, defense attorney Derrick Williams called several witnesses from Missouri State Highway Patrol crime labs who testified they were unable to match DNA evidence collected from the black hoodie to Johnson.
"We know there is no physical evidence connecting Brandon to the death of Jemorrio Betts," Williams said during closing arguments. "There is no physical evidence connecting Brandon to that murder."
"I'm glad it worked out for us," said the victim's father, William Betts of Charleston, following the trial.
Any time there is an ambush, Boyd said, "that's a planned murder ... premeditated, cold-blooded murder."
The next hearing, for post trial motions, is scheduled for 2 p.m. Feb. 27. Sentencing may occur during this hearing if the sentencing advisory report has been completed at that time.
Johnson is presently serving a sentence in the Missouri Department of Corrections on another conviction, according to Boyd.

PRINCETON-BY-THE-SEA — Nearly half of Pillar Point Harbor lay empty of boats on Monday as fishermen sped out to sea for the season's first take of Dungeness crab, those delectable bottom-dwellers that many locals consider the real "San Francisco treat."
Despite a grim outlook that local crabs were unusually small this year, which would have prevented crabbers from legally catching them, commercial fishermen found plenty of regulation-size crabs in the sea and started selling them as early as Sunday night.
"Everything's been mellow and low-key. The weather's good. There was no great argument about price," said Duncan MacLean, captain of the Barbara Faye. "It looks like there's a few spots of good crabs, so there should be a Thanksgiving season."
The pre-Thanksgiving rush started on Sunday, when hundreds of visitors gathered at Pillar Point Harbor to buy fresh crab off the only boat that came in with an early haul of Dungeness. The boat pulled in with 600 pounds of crab, and every last one was sold within 20 minutes, according to Assistant Harbormaster John Draper.
"People were lined up on the dock and, when he pulled in, they just mobbed him. They practically sank the dock," said Draper.
Selling live crabs direct to customers gives fishermen a chance to earn up to $5 per pound for their catch, while wholesale prices offered by crab processors are only half that amount. Monday's price for live Dungeness at Fishermen's Wharf lingered around $6.95 per pound.
Local crab is actually less expensive than imported crab from other states, and it tastes better, too, said Anthony Geraldi, a partner at Fishermen's Grotto #9 on the Wharf in San Francisco.
"If you're an aficionado of crab, you know that the local crab is a little bit sweeter than the crab from Oregon and Washington," said Geraldi.
The crabs this year are small — most no more than two pounds. But their mere presence is a great consolation to crabbers after last year's hugely disappointing season. Crabbers encountered so few of the crustaceans in all of the usual places last year that many of them simply gave up, turned their boats back to shore, and stowed their crab pots for the rest of the season.
It was a devastating economic blow to local fishermen, especially on the heels of two successive canceled salmon seasons and newly established no-fishing zones that have also cut down on their overall take of other species.
Commercial fisherman Bill Webb has bitter memories of the season last November.
"Last year was belly-up — the economy, the crabs, the salmon. It was a bad, bad year. I made enough to cover my bait and the cost of fuel — not enough to really survive on," said Webb, who captains his boat, The Cricket, out of Pillar Point Harbor.
The relatively puny class of crab available this year has been a blessing in disguise for local fishermen, because it has kept the larger boats from Oregon and Washington from dropping anchor in the Bay Area. The larger boats typically work on behalf of major food processors and have been known to undercut both the market price and the local crab season by scooping up twice the crabs of smaller boats.
MacLean thinks the crabs' size this year presages an even better season next November, once they've had an extra year to mature — provided they aren't overfished in the run-up to Christmas.
"Hopefully we won't get them all and they'll be bigger next year," he said.

My New Toy
By seanharris on Dec 04, 2007
I have recently got back into kayaking, something that I spent a considerable amount of time and money on in my teens and twenties before this was overtaken by other expensive and time consuming "hobbies" such as a house, a wife and kids. The kids however have reached an age where they wanted to have a go and so we are all going. Surprisingly it seems to have all come flooding (excuse the pun) back to me and I am having great fun.
As part of this I have treated myself to a brand new waver rider kayak for surfing and whitewater.
So far I have only had it out on flat water on the Thames at Pangbourne but I am planning to head off with Adventure Dolphin to North Wales to canoe on the Tryweryn near Bala. It is a considerable number of years since I last canoed there so I will let you know how I get on.

First, I have to say, this item showed up lightening fast, like I ordered on Monday night, and this was at my house on Thursday morning. Yay! Came in one big box, and it wasn't too heavy for me and one UPS guy to bring up the stairs. Anyways, I have been looking for a smallish couch for my condo. Thought this one was cute, and it would do the trick. Seems like it will work just fine. Although it is a little smaller than I expected (the "seating" measurements appear to be a bit off, I'm not sure though), I am happy with this item. I put this together, by myself, in less than 15 minutes from start to finish. The instructions are easy, and everything is very clear. One thing to know is that the seat area is not only a bit on the smaller side, in terms of width, it is also a bit more narrow than I expected. The seat is a bit stiff, with good bounce back though. Honestly, I don't think most people would/can sleep on this (but that's not my intended use), however, this makes for a cute, clean lines, quality fabric, little sofa. I'm pretty surprised at how cool this turned out to be, never having seen it in real life, nor trying it out, before buying.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very good, though the picture here on Overstock makes it look a tad "greyish", not "tan"
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. For the price, the quality of the fabric (durability) seems solid. Overall, I think it's pretty alright.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate.
Overall I like this little sofa, but...I think I received one that had been previously returned, which I was not real happy about. I know this happens, of course, but the one I received had scuffs on the front legs, a pillow with no zipper pull to close it up, and the fabric covering the underside had ripped away from the staples. Also the back piece does not want to stay in place on one side. I plan to call customer service to resolve this, but was a little miffed that they put an item in this condition back in stock to ship to someone else - it literally looked like someone had it for 6 months or more, then shipped it back. HOWEVER, being that it's a sofa that arrived in one very large box, and overall I like the style and build of it, I really don't want to ship it back, so I'm hoping they will take care of this. All that aside, I think it's a great little apartment sofa - we bought it to add a little extra lounging space to our living room, and though some reviewers said they thought it was too firm, I thought it was just fine for napping---big enough for tall people to lay down comfortably and snooze, but not so cushy that you'll sleep there for hours. My husband lugged the shipping box inside the house (thankfully) and I assembled it by myself in about 30 minutes. I give them credit for the design - the underside of the seat holds the arms and feet for shipping, which I thought was pretty smart. However there were no instructions included...again, this makes me think I got a re-shipped one, so that may not be true for everyone. I had trouble getting the left side of the back piece to lock in place, but again---no instructions---so maybe I'm missing something. The right side of it seems to be secure. I was surprised how sturdy it feels - once I sat on it and stretched out, I felt totally at ease with it. I like the fabric - no idea what it is, but it has that really stylish greige linen look to it, but feels more durable. The seat is firm and springy - which others have objected to, but I think it's a good sign that it will take a lot of wear. The fabric on the seat does tend to wrinkle a bit as others have noted, but I think you can smooth it out easily. I also like the look of the button-tufted back. The style "reads" a bit more modern than I thought it would, but I think with the right accessories it will work for us (our living room has that solarium/conservatory style - lots of green, white, linen, glass, and metallics in the mix).
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. ok
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? ok
This is a great little sofa for the money. The back sits up very straight so it's definitely not a lounging couch. Color is more gray than tan. But the style is very clean and the tufted back adds character.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Lighter in person - more gray than tan
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? pretty accurate
I absolutely love this sofa. It was incredibly easy to put together. The color goes well with so many other colors. It was a fantastic price and I'm so happy that I bought it!!
This is firm almost bouncy as other reviews have said. And it does not feel like it can hold a lot of weight, the legs aren't super sturdy. That said, I think it's with the price and will hold up to light use.
Great and comfortable sofa for a small space. Yes, it is a little firm, but not uncomfortable. Extremely easy to put together. I don't know if this couch would last with really hard use but time will tell.
I love overstock!! I would have rated it excellent, but the color has a little green to it. I was hoping for a little more tan. Fast shipment!! Thanks!!
I was impressed by the packaging and it was easy to assemble, but the legs don't curve in the right direction no matter how they are screwed in, and they don't stay secured with normal use. Would be better if legs were designed as straight rather than curved. The back angles and is not comfortable for anyone wanting to sit upright. Seems to be a design flaw because the back is not loose at all. The cushioning is sturdy and well made, but this sofa would not survive children or an active household.
Bought this couch in "Barley Tan" after a long search for a light gray couch for my home office. I was shocked to find out after arrival that it was definitely more of a beige color than the pictures led me to believe..
Pretty expensive for what it is. The Good: 1. Took 15 minutes to put together out of the box, even though the directions were incorrect. HA! 2. Looks great 3. Can be moved easily by just one person. 4. Good size for a small space. The Bad: 1. Doesn't feel sturdy and I literally worry that it will break if too many people are on it. 2. Not deep enough to really lay on comfortably, unless a person is quite small. 3. Hard to rest your head on it, because the back rest angles backwards, and there isn't a place to lean your head, even when slouching. 4. You can feel the (wooden?) slats in the back, and the springs, or whatever they are, on the seat cushion. 5. Cheap fabric, came ripped in the back. 6. The back legs don't/can't screw on properly. They only go a portion of the way, which means they are loose and at different angles. 7. Over all crappy quality. I would not buy this again, even if it were ****, because of the poor quality. No one likes to sit on it.
Was delivered in less then 48 hours. Looks exactly the same as online, including color. There must have been a dye lot which was off color that the other reviewers are referring to. Easy to put together, good quality, great price. Couldn't be happier. Will continue to order from this brand on overstock.com.
Got this for a great price for a friend's apartment. She's on a budget and overseas, so I offered to take care of finding her a sofa. A certain big box retailer didn't have a decent sofa in stock, so I check out trusty Overstock.com. I found this sofa and it was delivered within 3 business days. The UPS guy didn't even complain about having to bring it up 2 flights of stairs! It wasn't that heavy and is more of a loveseat than full couch. However, if you wanted to stretch out on it and nap, you could. I put it together myself in about 20 minutes. The seat is actually pretty high, my feet were almost dangling over the side. I'm 5'7 and she's 5'10, so a good height for her. The lines are clean and it looks very modern, which works for her taste. Overall, a good buy for my friend, who didn't require much. I don't know if I'd recommend it for people who spend a lot of time at home on the couch though, it's definitely on the firm side. Very happy with the purchase!
I wanted to LOVE this couch... I have a family room that this was going into. I needed a neutral color or the dark hardwoods and two different colored walls. I was so happy when it arrived within a few days after purchase. It was super easy to put together(I'm not good at it) and I was alone. But the color was so OFF!! It was very retro which is why I THINK I can make it work if I get different pillows to bring in the wall colors. If you are wanting grey or tan...don't GET IT! It is almost bright green. My family came over today and looked at it and said, "wow, I like your green couch."
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Totally different... doesn't even look like same color.. It was almost BRIGHT green!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. quality good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Everything but color was right
I purchased this sofa for my office for client meetings. Great for that. I don't see that this would be very comfortable for lounging, etc. It's a nice looking couch and especially for the price I got it for.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The same.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seems good. Fabric will winkle quickly though.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Yes
Except for the color, this is an excellent buy. It's a great sofa if you don't have a lot of room but want good seating for guests and family. The style is classic and this is not a piece that is hard to get out of. If you want a sinky, cushy sofa, this won't make you happy. One word of caution is that the color is very poorly represented on the website. It is NOT gray; and it is NOT really tan. It's more of a griege with a green tinge. Kind of a shock when you open the box expecting to see what's on the website.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not accurate.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Qualioty of the product is excellent.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The color is way off. (It almost has a green tinge but that could be the lighting.)
i would not recomend this sofa if its to be use daily in your home.
