Tuckey Street is a one way street that joins The Grand Parade with South Main Street in Cork. In typical Irish fashion, the one-way has been reversed over the last few years and anyway, the road works on The Grand Parade make getting onto the street a bit more difficult at the moment.
Nothing left to say, I'm off to the hospital again shortly. Hopefully Jacinta and Adam will be left out tomorrow. I've already registered Adam's domain name for the next couple of years!
Does anyone know how to get namecheap's DNS to not redirect to the www hostname? I prefer nowww urls but it doesn't seem possible. On the "@" line, entering the IP address of the server as an ANAME record simply causes a URL redirect to the IP. At least I have two servers now so maybe it's about time I host my own DNS.
A girl looked up at me from her buggy as I took her photo with the wide angle lens of my camera. This was taken just after the St. Patrick's Day Parade this year and the place was black with people, especially outside the The Larry Tompkins pub so no wonder she was a little upset. Mum can be seen in the background, looks like they're going home.
Today is the calm before the storm. I woke up to quiet. Oscar is with my family, Jacinta and Adam are still in the hospital. Tomorrow, everyone comes home probably, although Jacinta could do with an extra day.
Thank you to everyone who commented yesterday (and here too!) I'm bringing my laptop into the CUMH this afternoon to share with Jacinta all the good will and wishes left by you and everyone else!
PS. Good luck to Donal and Celine who are off to Lesotho today for 10 days. They have a long jounrey ahead of them but I know they're going to do some great work out there, the money they've raised will be well spent and I'm looking forward to the photos!
A graveyard in Co. Cork attracted my attention last summer while walking with Oscar down a small road. I didn't go in but I got a few nice shots from over the cemetery gate.
This is a the result of sandwiching two versions of this image together. One is overexposed and the other underexposed. It's difficult to get the bits around the trees right but I think I did a pretty good job!

Has it been 2 years already Ryan? My Flickr account expires in February 2008 so I have a bit more time on my hands. It's been well worth it however!
The posted speed limit for the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is 45mph but good luck to anyone who managed to reach that speed! Traffic crawled the day we were there and I suspect that's the norm.
Shot from the car as we drove along. Thanks Andy for driving that day!
A festival or competition was being held on the beautiful August day we wandered through Union Square, San Francisco. It provided ample inspiration for photos although we didn't linger long because we wanted to see more of the city.
The statue pictured is in the center of the Square and, "commemorates Admiral Dewey's Spanish-American War victory at Manila Bay." Here's more and more on Union Square and the history behind it.
Department stores, Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co can be clearly seen in the background, it's the center of the shopping world in San Francisco!
Tourists stopped on the sidewalk off Union Square in San Francisco last summer. Despite the city's reputation for fog the day was sunny and clear.
I had a great time doing some street photography of course!
A wall of the Beamish and Crawford Brewery blocks the sun in this shot taken on South Main Street, Cork.
Blue skies are great for sun worshippers but photographers don't like them. It's always better to have some cloud or interest in the sky. The fluffier and more solid the better, as long as some blue sky can be seen.
Boarded up windows, grey walls, overgrown vegetation. It can only be an Irish hospital right?
This is the final picture in my Old Hospital series.

A wild Priest has appeared!
Outspark announced the addition of the Priest class to the Divine Souls lineup today and we've got to say - that's one sick blade he's carrying (though whether or not priests use those weapons is another discussion).
From the press release, we get the idea that Divine Souls' priest is more analogous to a crusader while still carrying the traditional healing roles of the class.
That's about all we have on this new class, so check out the character art after the break and get your Priest on if Divine Souls is your thing.

At first, David seems like a genuinely likable person. Hell promise you the world, and its easy to fall for. We purchased what was advertised as a REGISTERED AQHA mare a little over a year ago. For us, it was quite a bit of cash, but he offered to let us split it between paychecks. The horse was professionally trained and registered so we figured it would be worth it. A year and a half later, we STILL havent received the papers for her.
We have tried to contact David and we have gotten absolutely no where. He has now stopped responding to emails period. He kept telling us that He didnt have them, but was going to have them the next time we came out Then he told us that if we didnt take the horse home that we would have to pay boarding fees for him to keep her while we waited on the papers. We had already spent quite a bit so we took the horse home before we were ever given her
registration. BIG MISTAKE! We also paid for a current coggins and we never received that either.
From what Ive read, many others have gone through the same thing as we have. David has obviously gone through life using his charm to get his way, while lying to peoples faces. We have tried to come to an agreement regarding the registration; however, David is unwilling to talk. We either want the papers or a refund for part of the purchase price. A registered mare is what we paid for and we have copies of her being advertised as registered!

1960 Buick Electra news, pictures, specifications, and information
225 Series 4800 Convertible Coupe
The Electra 225 Series was Buick's top-of-the-line offering in 1960, but this car is not a standard production model. In fact it is a one-off built by General Motors Styling Studio for Harlow H. Curtice, who had been the President of GM from 1952 until 1958. The present owner of this special car first saw it at a Buick Club of America National Meet in 1972 and was fascinated by it. Little did he known at the time that he would later get the opportunity to buy it in 1988.

(did not sell)
Buick sales drastically declined in the late 1950's due to economical recession, unpopular styling, and product problems. In 1955 their sales reached 750,000 and by 1959 they had declined to barely 200,000. Buick needed to reverse their plummeting sales. Their solution was a bold move with styles and models that were devoid of the traditional Buick trademarks from the past. Throughout the early 1960s, Buick would debut new names, engines and designs that had never been seen before. Nearly all of their cars were remolded and either stopped production or changed the names of the well known Special, Super, Roadmaster, Century, and Limited to the LeSabre, Electra, and Invicta.
The Electra model was considered to be the most luxurious in the lineup. It was built for both speed and comfort and was considered to be the top car amongst its competitors. It was given the nickname 'Deuce and a Quarter' and was one of the highest selling Buicks for over 30 years.
The drastically restyled 1959 models were replaced by all-new models for 1960. Buick's flagship was the Electra, now riding atop a Buick-only 'K-member frame. The 1959 car had cantered headlights; for 1960, they were laid flat and parallel to the bumper, complementing the wider, longer and lower overall styling theme of the early 1960s. They had a pair of broad trim panels that cloaked the lower body of the Electra 225, neatly integrating the front and rear bumpers with the body of the car, and giving it a very clean and elegant look.
The Electra 225 Convertible had leather interior, power windows, a power-operated top, Super Deluxe wheel covers, an outside rear view mirror and the Safety Group. Standard equipment on all premium Buicks also included a padded dashboard, power steering, power brakes, two-speed wipers and dual exhaust outlets.
This Electra 225 Convertible has an older frame-off restoration that remains highly presentable in modern times. It has many options including factory-installed air conditioning, leather bucket seats with a two-way power-operated driver's seat, as well as a clock, a Wonderbar signal-seeking radio and a Twilight Sentinel automatic headlight dimmer.
225 Series 4800 Convertible Coupe
The Electra Series 225 was Buick's top-of-the-line model in 1960. It was built for both speed and comfort and was considered to be at the front of the line against its competitors.
Commonly referred to as 'Deuce and a Quarter,' the nickname and '225' series designation came from its 225-inch length. The model is easily recognizable by the Electra 225 badge circled on the deck lid and name found on the front fenders.
The Electra 225 convertible was powered by a 401 cubic-inch V-8 engine that developed 325 horsepower. It was equipped with all of Buick's standard features, plus back-up lights, parking brake signal light, map light, two-way power seat, power windows and a Glare-proof rear-view mirror. It was trimmed in leather with optional bucket seats, which are included on this Electra.

The style of the delta-winged 1960 Buick is unmistakably 'jet-age.' Quad headlamps are set in simulated twin-jet nacelles. A 'Vista-Panoramic' windshield wraps around and canted tailfins sweep rearward. Buick's 'Tri-Shield' emblem made its debut on the 1960 models and front-fender 'ventiports' returned after a two-year absence. The lineup of 'Buick's All-Time Best' retained the new-in-1959 nameplates: LeSabre, Invicta, Electra, and Electra 225, in ascending order.
This top-of-the-line Electra 225 Convertible, finished in elegant Pearl Fawn, includes a wide array of options: air conditioning, front bucket seats and console, power windows, power antenna, Autronic Eye and Twilight Sentinal. A 401 cubic-inch 'Wildcat' V8 and 'Turbine Drive' automatic transmission, standard on Electra 225, provide an ultra-smooth flow of power. The restoration took four years (and two parts cars) to complete.
In the late 1950's, due to the combination of economic recession that made small vehicles popular, unpopular styling, and product problems, Buick went into a sinking decline. Sales plunged from a high of nearly three-quarters of a million vehicles in 1955, to barely a quarter of a million units in 1959.
Discarding Special, Century, Limited and Roadmaster, Buick began to pull itself out of the tailspin in 1959. They now favored the LeSabre, Invicta and Electra. Through the efforts of Edward D. Rollert, a quality-commited new general manager, the Special name returned on a compact vehicle with an aluminum V-8 in 1961. One year later, the first production V-6 in the Special was offered and was named Motor Trend Magazine's 'Car of the Year'. Sales begin to clumb, and production in the uppder-series vehicles reached to more than 450,000.
Continuing to rise through the 1960's, a record of 821,165 was reached in the 1973 model year. Unfortunately due to the oil embargo late in 1973 year, sales plummeted to fewer than 500,00 in both 1974 and 1975.
Near the end of 1958, some of the most incredibly vehicle to ever be assembled were rolling off the production line and onto the roadways of America. The year that the USA added Hawaii to the union, Fidel Castro took over Havava, Buddy Holly died, and Ben Hur earned the Best Picture Oscar, Buick was in the process of unveiling their brand new models in 1959.
In a bold and daring move, the traditional styling cues that had been long been Buick's trademark quickly disappeared overnight, along with the names that had been apart of Buick's stable for so long. No longer were the portholes, and the sweepspears that had been traditional for so long. Now, new names, new engines, new brakes, new chassis, and new transmissions were unveiled as Buick dangerously tried something new.
The LeSabre was considered to be thriftiest Buick, while the Invicta was the most spirited Buick, and the Electra was highlighted as the most luxurious Buick. The Electra was built for speed and comfort, and was considered to shine among its rivals. These brand new models were receiving glowing praise from the motor press, and were reported to be selling like hotcakes. Though the steel strike of that year didn't do much to aid sales, the growing popularity of the times was drawn toward compact vehicles as the motoring public was growing tired of full-size cars.
With a very deserved street name 'deuce and a quarter', both the Buick Electra 225 and Buick Electra were full-size premium automobiles built by General Motors Buick division. Produced in variety of nomenclatures, the Electra name was used by Buick between 1959 to 1990.
Before the Electra and Electra 225 came to the scene, the Buick Super, Roadmaster and Limited constitued the upper class of Buick's superb lineup. Following their introduction in 1959, the Electra took the place of the Super while all of Buick's models were renamed. The Electra 225 took the place dominated previously by the Roadmaster and Limited models.
Sharing its 6-window hardtop roofline with the Cadillac Fleetwood, the top-line model of the Buick range was the Electra 225 Riveria. From the 1949 model year on, the 'Riveria' name had been used by Buick to signify a premium trimmed hardtop body style. In 1963, Buick dropped the Riveria name as a body style designation and instead utilized it as Buick's new personal luxury coupe. The Electra nameplate was also discontinued in 1963, leaving only the Electra 225.
The Electras were powered by Buick's 401 in³ (6.6 L) V8 from 1959 until 1966. An available 425 in³ version of the same engine was available from 1964 to 1966. The following year, the 1967 model offered a new Buick 430 in³ (7.0 L) V8, and a 455 in³ (7.5 L) version of the same engine replaced it in 1970. The 1959 through 1963 models had Twin Turbine DynaFlow, and the Triple Turbine was offered as an option in 1959. Automatic transmissions were always a standard option, and beginning in 1964, the Electra models were equipped with the Super Turbine 400/THM 400 transmissions.
In 1965, a major restyling was done on all GM passenger vehicles. To place more emphasis on the luxurious 4-door hardtop bodies, the 6-window bodystyle was dropped in favor of the 4-door frame. The coupe models of 1965 were dominated by smooth and sinuous 'Coke bottle' lines and fastback roof profiles. The marketing strategy was changed by Buick in 65, and the Electra 225 was offered in two trim levels, base and Custom. The Electra 225 Custom 4-door hardtop was offered in a new 'Limited' option package, and eventually became available on the two-door hardtop models as well.
In 1968, to emphasize the Electra 225's length, the stylists at GM did this through the use of 'blade' rear quarter panels. They also used the 'sweepspear' character line that ran the length of the body. The Ventiports also followed the curve of the sweepspear just forward enough to the front door in the Electra 225. Hidden in 1969, the windshield wiper blades were discreet, and the following year the vent windows on the front doors were eliminated.
For a decade, between 1967 and 1976, it was easy to see the similar forms and design hallmarks that dominated the Electra 225's design style.
From 1971 through 1973, the previous 4-door pillared sedan variant and convertible were eliminated, and all Electra 225 models were hardtops. The GM's pillared coupe body was adopted in 1974, and fitted with 'Landau' option in the Electa Limited Coupe. Though considered unpopular due to their extensive cost, optional driver and passenger airbags were available in 1974. Max Trac, a crude and limited version of traction control was available in 1974. All 225 coupes came with fixed rear side windows and center posts in 1975. And until the 1977 model, all 4-door models continued as hardtops. Though it came without any Electra 225 badges, a Limited model was available in 1974. In 1975, a new Park Avenue option package was available on the 'Limited' 4-door hardtop.
The longest 4-door hardtop GM car ever built was the 1975 Buick Eletra 225 Limited. A return of the six-window configuration that had been available by Buick from 1959 through 1964, the model at 233.4 inches long, was even longer than the 1975 Cadillac Deville.
Between 1971 and 1976, all Electra models were powered by Buick's 455 in³ (7.5 L) engine. The 1971 model achieved a satisfactory 315 hp, but by the 1976 model year, it was reduced to a pitiful 190 hp due to the ever-increasing government mandated emission controls. In favor of smaller, and more efficient powerplants, the impressive 455 engine was dropped after the 1976 model year.
In 1977, GM downsized their full-sized vehicles, and the third generation of Eletra's went close to it's once original size and length at 22 inches (5,715 mm). The 1980 model was once again downsized, and lost the '225' distinctive part of its name. A first-ever diesel engine was utilized in 1978, as the 1977 through 1979 Buick Electras were powered with engines from various GM divisions. A modified grille was given to the 1981 model, along with a new powertrain as the Buick 350 V8 disappeared in favor of a standard Buick that produced 4.1 L V6. Unfortunately known to be troublesome, 350 in³ Oldsmobile produced diesel was also introduced and available for purchase. In 1981, Electra was featured for the first time since 1959 without 4 Ventiports. In 1985, the once top-line Electra Park Avenue model disappeared completely after continueing to show 4 small depressions with stickers in the chrome mouldings on its front fenders.
Debuting on the GM C platform, a totally redesigned front-wheel drive Electra that included a performance-oriented T-Type version was showcased in 1985. Impressive, this was the only C Platform vehicle that utilized a forward opening hood. Though it had appeared unofficially as early as 1975, in1985, Park Avenue became an official trim designation within the Electra series. Replacing the quad headlight setup from the 1985 and 1986 models, the first use of integrated aerodynamic headlights was featured in 1987 models.
A new Park Avenue Ultra model featuring a standard leather trim interior along with a padded vinyl top, joined the Electra Limited, T/Type and Park Avenue models in 1989 and 1990. Basically combining the characteristics of the sportier T/Type and luxurious Ultra, the designation 'Ultra' was used on the next generation Park Avenue. An entirely diverse vehicle that was based upon the 1977 full-size GM station wagon body, the Electra Estate station wagon model was introduced briefly. To make way for the smaller Park Avenue and the larger Roadmaster, the last of the Electra production was seen in 1990.

What might have been
Travis Walton
Winston-Salem, N.C. - Marquette's Dominic James and Michigan State's Travis Walton will more than likely be pitted against one another when the ball is tipped in the teams' NCAA tournament game on Thursday night.
Had things turned just a little bit differently it might have been Walton playing for MU and James for Michigan State, though.
Spartans coach Tom Izzo was recruiting both James and Walton, as was his good buddy, Golden Eagles coach Tom Crean.
"I felt all along it would come down to the two of us," said Crean, referring to James' recruitment. "There were a couple other schools that jumped in that were trying to knock them down and knock us down and I think it hurt them when it came to some of the negative recruiting, because we had a great relationship and they'd worked very hard to have a great relationship.
"We also recruited Travis. That was back when you could have juniors in, and we had Travis in on a junior visit."
James ultimately had his decision made for him when Walton committed to the Spartans, leaving him with a final two of MU and Purdue.
"It was a process of elimination," said James. "I didn't have to say no to a lot of teams because a lot of players were committing at that time. When a point guard goes to another team obviously you don't want to go there. I wanted to come in and make an immediate impact and start right away.
"I was seriously considering them. I didn't make any official visits in my whole recruiting process so obviously I still had time to make that decision. Had (Walton) not made that decision I still would have considered them. But I'm happy where I wound up. Very happy."
So is Crean.
"They had probably done more (with Walton) where maybe we had done a little more with Dominic," he said. "(Walton) committed to them and that opened the door for us. You're never confident enough to say, 'Well, we're going to get him anyways. There's some programs where you're going to say that. But not when you're going against somebody like (Izzo) or a program like that."
James, of course, has gone on to become MU's signature player in his two seasons there. Walton, meanwhile, is the only player to start all 33 games for Michigan State this year. He's averaging 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
There was one other point guard MU was recruiting at the time as well -- Bobby Frasor, who's now a backup at North Carolina. And the Tar Heels, as it turns out, are also playing in this regional as well.

Cale Parks got his start as the drummer in the marching band-influenced indie group Aloha. As the band worked on its fourth album, Some Echoes (Polyvinyl Records, 2006), Parks was busy at work on a collection of ambient tunes. The tracks piled up and eventually became a full-length album, Illuminated Manuscript, which was released on Polyvinyl in September 2006. Parks returned two years later with Sparklace, influenced by the electronic pop of the '80s and '90s, followed two years later by To Swift Mars.

First-choice Murphy was forced off at half-time in Tuesday's 3-0 northern area final defeat at home to Crewe nursing a hamstring injury, with replacement Chris Dunn on standby to start from the off against the Glovers should he be required.
Otherwise, manager Mark Robins is expected to have a fully-fit squad for an important league clash in which City must swiftly shrug off any Trophy hangover to keep their play-off aspirations on course.
The Sky Blues signed forward Danny Philliskirk on Thursday on a deal until the end of the season and he could make Robins' matchday 18.

Roman Simakov Passes Away After Tragic Knockout Loss
By Alexey Sukachev
There were signs and then there was statistics. For more than twenty years Russian prizefighting has never experienced the ultimate tragedy, which can be imagined by all involved into the sport. No fighters have ever died inside the squared circle. Up until now. There were injuries and bad injuries. In 2009, Uzbek bantamweight Nosirjon Rozimatov fell into a coma after a severe beating he received from world-ranked opponent Alexander Bakhtin. He had emergency trepanation and he was lucky enough to survive. Once (in 1994) an aging referee passed away right inside the ring due to natural causes. There were chilling knockouts and one-sided beatings but luckily no one has succumbed to the brutality of boxing.
That all changed today, when light heavyweight contender Roman Simakov passed away from the injuries sustained in his fight with fellow compatriot and contender Sergey Kovalev. Kovalev delivered a sound beating to Simakov over the first four rounds, then Roman evened a fight for a moment but the sheer power of the Ural banger took its painful toll, and Simakov was forced to go down in the sixth. He bravely stood up to continue fighting but was put down again with a combination of punches early into the seventh. He was unable to continue after that, even though he got up. Moreover, he soon lost consciousness and was taken out of the ring on a stretcher.
Simakov was rushed into resuscitation ambulance #24 in Ekaterinburg, where he had surgery. However, he has never regained his consciousness and succumbed to his mortal fate this night…
Roman Simakov was just 27 years of age. He started his professional career in 2008, got several wins before challenging Vasily Lepikhin for a vacant Baltic Boxing Union light heavyweight title. In a fierce and bloody battle, Roman delivered all he could but lost to taller and younger Lepikhin on split decision in an even fight. Unlike Lepikhin, who has been seen just once in the ring since, Simakov immediately bounced back with a streak of wins over various opponents. This March he shut out Kenyan Douglas Otieno to win his biggest prize – the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council belt and received a #9 standing in the newest WBC rankings. His final record is 19 wins (9 by the way of knockout), 2 losses and 1 draw.
Though, there could have been a perception of a possible mismatch, the fight between Kovalev and Simakov was reasonable as both fighters had the same level of experience, and their records were comparable both in terms of numbers and in terms of opposition. Kovalev was the obvious favorite (and he indeed was) – thanks to his vast amateur background and immense punching power, but the fight was far from being a pre-defined encounter. The power and domination, showed by Kovalev, who looked much better than in his recent fights, turned out to be a shocking experience for Simakov, who has never adapted to the strength of his opponent's punches.
Roman Simakov was a modest guy who always spoke and acted in and intelligent and soft manner. He will be sorely missed by entire Russian boxing community. BoxingScene sends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the fallen warrior.

I just installed WordPress a little while ago, and ran import-mt.php. I don't know why, but there is one post where the comments were never imported. I checked the exported text file from MovableType, and sure enough, the code for the comments are there, but I don't understand why the importing script isn't importing the comments for this particular entry. One of the commenters left their e-mail address within the comment. Could it be because of a sanitation issue?
Furthermore, I think there is something wrong with configuration. I tried posting a comment to test, and then I tried to post another and I got an error message, "Sorry, you can only post a new comment once every 10 seconds. Slow down cowboy." So, I waited well past 10 seconds, but it still wouldn't let me leave a comment. At this rate, commenters would only be allowed to comment once, and never more. What's going on with the flood control?

I bought this carpet a month ago and it still does not lay flat on the floor, along one side it has ridges and crimps. I tried flattening it with book, furniture and such to no avail. I't looks horrible due to that fact. The colors are nice but thats it.
I purchased for my kitchen. Very Nice and made well.
I'm disappointed in the look of this rug. I know it's cheap, but it looks even cheaper than it was. No detail in the design and the red is nothing but blobs here and there. The two ends arrived curled and I have been unable to get them to lay flat. This was a test to see if my senior dog would behave with a carpet. She has, and I intend to replace this carpet as soon as possible.
I've been shopping for a new area rug since disaster ruined the previous one 10 months ago. From Target to Horchow, I could not find one that was the right size, style, color and price! Stunned to find this bargain... it is soft, comfy and looks exactly as pictured! I have since ordered two more area rugs for other rooms from Overstock - definite good decision!
I read some of the reviews before buying and noticed they weren't very good, but I decided to go with it for the price and the fact that it was going in a high traffic area of my home. I figured if it got dirty or didn't wear well, then it wouldn't matter if it wasn't great quality. I'm actually very pleased with this rug and even more pleased with the price. We have a small shabby chic cottage and it's lovely with our hard wood floors. I would absolutely recommend this.
Nice rug for using in a breakfast nook but not a formal living room or dining room.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color's were a bit drab not as vibrant as the photo online
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality fits the bill. I am using this as a rug in my kitchen under my breakfast table so it is okay for this area. I would not use in a living room or dining room.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Somewhat accurate.
great product for the price, colors were exactly what I needed, delivery was fast, does need a non slip mat under it to prevent sliding
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? dead on
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. thin and slides around a lot, needs a non slip mat under it
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very good
This was just what I expected. I paid under *** looks good and works with a new puppy!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Bought this because I have new Puppy chewed some expensive rugs
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? right on
This rug is not as great as most of the reviews may lead you to believe. Of course, at $$ dollars your expectations may be low, and they should be. The pile is thin and the pattern lines look oddly pixelated (they don't even appear to be so in the digital image of the rug). The darkness of the colors wouldn't be such an issue if the hue wasn't off as well. The red is more like a burgandy or dark mauve which I personally don't think goes well with the hue of green that the rug actually is. If you need something to cover space, this would be fine. For now it's a place holder until I can find a better quality rug to replace it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Colors are much darker
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Average quality
I bought this rug to replace one we'd had for years. It was for my dining room and I wanted something that wouldn't show spots and stains very well and that would look nice in the space. I think this rug is perfect. I would have preferred the more muted colors that are shown in the picture, but for undder $$$, you can't beat this rug. I would buy it again and I would suggest it to others.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The colors are darker than in the picture. In the photo they look muted, but they are really dark in actuality.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. It's the best low cost rug I've seen- the edges are all bound, the rig itself doesn't fall off in little tufts, it is soft. It's not very thick, but you could remedy that with a premium rug pad. This was the perfect solution for my apartment!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
I wasn't expecting much from this rug. I mean, I didn't think that the quality would be all that great, but that it would do the job of pulling to room together and making our living room feel more cozy. Well, I think this one is a keeper! Very soft and seems like it's very durable and will last a long time. I wasn't sure about the colors being true to the photo, but to my surprise they were extremely close - if not dead on. I am very pleased with my purchase and it does make our living room much more cozy!
Very soft and high quality. Great bargain. Fast shipping. Colors are very nice.
This is a beautiful rug, looks much more expensive than it is, and has rich, deep tones. Go ahead, get two or three!
Alot thinner than I had hoped for, but the design is gorgeous
The color was accurate on my computer monitor. The rug is exactly what I expected. It's a great price, but a bit thin. No problem - I can buy replace it every year or buy a plush rug pad at that price!
Soft under my feet, soft colors, elegant ancient feeling design. I love it.
This rug is a great buy. It is much softer than I expected for a Polypropylene rug. The color is slightly off (a bit darker than the picture) but overall I am quite happy with it.
I bought this rug based upon the picture and the positive reviews from previous buyers. However, when I received the rug I checked the website again because I was sure Overstock sent me the wrong rug. The color is completely different. The 'green' is about 20x darker than the website picture. Other than that huge discrepancy, the quality of the rug is quite good.It costs too much to return the rug than it's worth so I've kept it. The rug is fine but I do wish the color representation on the website was accurate.
This rug worked perfectly and I liked it so much I ordered a smaller, matching rug.
Beautiful rug and can't beat the quality to cost of this item. I was not expecting anything nearly as nice as this one.

Yesterday (October 29th) I went in for a cone of strawberries, which I do when I shop at the mall with friends, and didn't see one cone that looked good. All of the strawberries they dipped were mushy or wrinkled and looked bad. One customer bought a cone and didn't look at them before they left. I didn't wait to see if they would return them.
Someone needs to make sure that the store manager and all of their employees are dipping and selling strawberries that aren't squishy or rotten! People expect a gourmet chocolate store to have only the best quality. If I'm going to pay $12 for a treat to share with my friends and family, it had better be the best! Fix this, Godiva, or I'm not going back.

text: I'm personally a big fan of the mid-century modern decor that has had such a resurgence as a result of Mad Men's influence. That said, I think it's easy in the men's blogosphere to preach its virtues as the be-all-end-all of masculine home decor and go a little overboard. However, I found all of the advice from this interview with set decorator Amy Wells to actually be incredibly helpful in thinking about the feeling you want to evoke with your home decor, and also how best to implement that on a budget. … read more

Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department arrested a Long Pond man on Friday for unlawfully possessing firearms.
The police said they used a search warrant around 5:30 p.m. to look for firearms at the residence of Lewis Conboy, 69, of Kuhenbeaker Road. Police said Conboy has a past felony conviction, and for this reason he is not allowed to have possession of firearms. During the search, they found nine firearms at the residence.
Conboy was taken into custody without incident and charged with nine counts of persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms. This charge is a second degree felony, police said. Conboy was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Facility pending arraignment before Judge Claypool.

A sunny and warm Monday across the Brazos Valley will turn to a night with the chance of a few spotty showers. After a brief shot at rain -- sunshine & warmer weather return. Enjoy it. Our next cold front is expected to tumble temperatures back, once again.
Feeling the Spring-like Love
Bad News: You lost an hour of sleep yesterday, thanks to Daylight Saving Time starting up.
Good News: Our "average" high for this time of the year has now moved to 70°!
Better News: We managed to reach highs in the low 70s this Monday afternoon....Tuesday looks to bring us even closer to 80°!
Get it while you can -- another cold front is already on the schedule for the middle of the week. While it won't be a major blast of winter, it will have you reaching for jackets and wind breakers...yet again.
First though...
Slight Chance of Overnight Rain (Monday Night / Tuesday Morning)
The rain / cold front from this past weekend was pushed in by a large upper-level system moving close to Texas. From that same weather maker came a trough of low pressure, that hung to the west and southwest of Texas.
As that upper-low swings over South Texas, and into the Gulf of Mexico, we'll look for a chance of spotty showers and rain across the Brazos Valley between 10pm Monday and 8am Tuesday.
The better bet to find rain will be along the immediate Texas Coast -- however, a few pockets of rain could drift further north and move from west to east across our backyard.
We'll look for a 30% chance of rain -- along with a mild night in the 50s / a chance for patchy fog by sunrise Tuesday.
One More Warm Day -- then Windy & Colder
After a cloudy / foggy start to Tuesday morning, how about a sunny finish with highs in the upper 70s / possibly pushing 80°?
Sounds pretty good -- especially for all of those Spring Breakers out there.
Be sure to get out and get it while you can on Tuesday:
By Wednesday morning, our next cold front arrives in the Brazos Valley. Morning clouds will turn to afternoon sunshine, but don't let it deceive you. We'll look for blustery north winds to blow through at 20-25mph, with gusts between 30mph & 35mph.
Sunshine will try to do all that it can -- but we'll be lucky to reach 60° Wednesday.
By Thursday, temperatures are still in the 60s, but the wind will die down making for another mild, sunny day to get out and enjoy.

Things to see
The beating heart of the city, Stephansplatz is a bustling square where mime artists entertain passersby, couples sit sipping coffee in pavement cafes, and shoppers with bags bursting at the seams spill in and out of stores. This is also where you'll find the gothic grandeur of St Stephen's Cathedral with its red-marble monument of Emperor Frederick III and 18th Century tomb of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Climb its 553 steps and you'll be rewarded with unparalleled views of the city. The baroque Hofburg Imperial Palace will march you through the city's history, and is home to a myriad museums, the Burgkapelle where the high-pitched trills of the Vienna Choir Boys can be heard every Sunday, and the Spanische Reitschule with its Lipizzaner horses. Schoenbrunn Palace with its bohemian crystal chandeliers and white porcelain tile stoves is a complex of epic portions and you can spend a whole day exploring Empress Sisi's former summer residence and pottering around its pretty park and zoo. Vienna State Opera is one of the world's most prestigious opera houses and the place to catch top-calibre music all year round.
Hotels in Vienna
Hotels in Vienna come in all shapes and sizes, so you'll have no problem finding accommodation to suit your budget and needs. For a slice of luxury, Vienna's high-end landmarks feature indoor pools, sensuous spas, and fine dining restaurants, and rooms range from sprawling suites to modern doubles with deep soaking bath tubs, room service, and well-stocked minibars. Mid-range options are plentiful and most offer WiFi, flat-screen televisions with satellite channels, and tea and coffee making facilities as standard. Budget hotels in Vienna are somewhat limited so it's a good idea to book well in advance if you're after a cheap hotel.
Where to stay
If you want to stay in the heart of things during your trip to Vienna, hotels located around Innerstadt Vienna will put you within strolling distance of the city many must-see sites such as St Stephen's Cathedral, Hofburg Imperial Palace, and Vienna State Opera. For river views, Leopoldstadt, in the 2nd District, is home to many hotels which over look the Danube Canal as well as those close to the leafy Prater Park home to the Riesenrad, a 64-meter tall Ferris wheel. Neubau has good links to the center for sightseeing as well as its own cafes, shops, and restaurants, and is ideal for families who want a more relaxed base but is still within a few minutes ride on the U-bahn to the center.
How to get to
Vienna International Airport's located just outside of the city, 16 kilometers away, and receives flights from all over the world. Getting to the city center from the airport's a doddle thanks to good public transport links. The cheapest option is to take the Vienna S-Bahn line S7 to Wien-Mitte and from there the line U3 to Stephansplatz which is right in the heart of the city. You can also take the City Airport Train to Wien-Mitte, or the Vienna AirportLines Bus. Once you're in the city, the five U-bahn lines are the easiest way to get around with trains every 2 to 7 minutes which'll whisk you to all the most important sites.

What's holding you back from turning your healthy food choices into a total health lifestyle? I have some ideas for you here…
What's holding you back from turning your healthy food choices into a total health lifestyle? I have some ideas for you here…
I talk with my clients about it. I talk with my friends about it. I talk with strangers in the farmers market about it. I spend a fair amount of my time talking with people about organizing their lives around cooking. The thing about all these conversations is that I've come to realize that these days cooking is mostly a one-off act. No longer is it a daily routine to be folded into the rest of life, but instead the activity of cooking has become something to worry about, fret, and avoid. Food companies profit well from people being not so confident in the kitchen, and thanks to them there is an abundance of encouraging convenience in supermarkets. Now it is common that most people don't so much cook a meal, but instead assemble it. A pre-portioned styrofoam pack of meat from over here, combined with a bag of chopped veg from over there; add jar of savory sauce, and voila! Dinner is served.
Now to be clear there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this approach. It's certainly convenient, gets the job done, and is miles better nutritionally than another round of burgers or pizza. But meat and jarred sauce are only going to take taste buds so far, and relying on this approach over time is going to have a shelf life of its own.
When I'm teaching meal planning I want my clients to have a reliable list of flavors (and in turn the ingredients that make these flavors) in their kitchens at the ready. I typically begin with teaching Mediterranean flavor structure because the olive oil-lemon marriage is such an easy, and healthy, one to apply to a wide variety of grains, vegetables, and animal proteins. My goal for my clients is to learn how to cook without recipes with the end result of both healthy meals and efficient use of precious kitchen resources: time and money. This anti-recipe cooking is such a simple approach to a bustling weeknight and the only strategy that puts food on my table for most meals. Instinct, not recipes, are a cook's best friend.
Developing an instinct for cooking requires repetition, and for most non-professional cooks this strategy becomes redundant in time. As satisfying as olive oil and lemon can be on everything, at some point there is always a desire for more, or different, or new.
Every so often I'll catch a flavor jag for a new seasoning and start feverishly folding it into everything. One of these recent manic taste episodes has been with Korean gochujang, and as I've played around with this spicy fermented bean paste there is not a grain, vegetable, or meat that has not met its heat in my kitchen. Traditionally served as the spicy condiment of bibimbap {if you love bibimbap then, yes, it is that red sauce}, it lends a flavor a salty, meaty heat to wherever it goes. For me gochujang has become that cool, new friend I want to invite to every summer barbecue.
If you are working on confidence in the kitchen recipes are critical to helping advance your skills.When learning to cook something new the recipe format is the ultimate teaching tool with step by step procedural notes and lists of requirements. The carefully worded instructions guide a cook out of his safety zones and into bold new flavors.
So, let this recipe guide you to gochujang and a different approach to those healthy, hearty summer greens like kale and collard greens. And if you like the taste consider where it will lead you next- Beef? Eggs? Grilled Veg? It's your kitchen. Now get in there and cook.
Korean Collard Slaw
collard greens, washed/chopped, 16 cups
corn, fresh or thawed from frozen, 1 cup
natural sesame seeds (not hulled preferred), 1/3 cup
Gochujang, 1/4 cup
tahini, 1/4 cup
toasted sesame oil, 3 tbsp
sunflower oil, 3 tbsp
rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp
garlic clove, crushed, 1
salt, 1 tsp
You can begin by doing yourself the favor of buying pre-washed/chopped collard greens in one of those enormous bags, or you can purchase a large bundle (or 2, size depending) of collards, then wash, and chop into 1 inch width. Place collards in large mixing bowl.
Mix dressing ingredients in blender or food processor and add to collards. Throughly mix; really get in there. Using metal tongs or your clean hands will work best.
Once dressing is coating every collard leaf, then add the corn and sesame seeds and toss well.
Now you're done! This will last in refrigerator for a couple days, but most delicious within 12 hours of adding dressing to greens.
Serves either 12 for dinner or your bag lunch all week long.
Twenty-first century eating is a daunting task. If you find yourself lucky enough to have food then you often consume too much and usually the wrong proportions. "Overeaten and Underfed!" could be the battle cry of the modern eater with most food calories being birthed from corporate laboratories and having traveling quite a distance from its once nutritious source. The modern world is arguably two generations deep into this alien cuisine, and it's been quite some time since dietary education came from the reliable communal platters of the shared dining table instead of twenty second paid advertising clips between television segments or Youtube stations.
Change is good, and that is usually true, except when you are trying to change the natural order of the universe. Mankind would be naive to assume that human nourishment is so well understood that a manufactured product would be evolutionarily superior to it's natural counterpart. When choosing what to put on your plate it is best to take your cues from nature's bounty. Consider the proportions in which this planet provides food, and use those amounts as a guide to what and how much to consume.
Let's pretend you could hover from a distance above Earth's hills, meadows, mountains, rivers and seas. Of what food sources would you see the most? First to your eye would be edible plants with green leaves- everywhere and in plentitude- and this is where the base of the human diet should begin. Unless you inhabit the Arctic Circle and hunt seals for a living then green leafy plants are meant to form the foundation of all the food you eat. Plants won't provide the base of energy needs (calories), but the leaves, stalks, fruits, and roots will insure your cells access to a wide variety of the minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant chemicals that humans need to fight off the daily invasion of natural and synthetic toxins that battle health and longevity over a lifespan.
From your initial surveillance you will look beyond the green flora and notice a plethora of beans, grains, nuts, and seeds growing in and around all of the edible plants and leaves. These are the offshoots of the plentiful plants and you can essentially think of this entire bean/grain/nut/seed group as seed-like; a plant produces them to ensure its future progeny. This food category is naturally calorically dense because these bean/grain/nut/seeds require a significant amount of energy to begin their own germination cycle. Common availability aside, your body wants these foods because all the hibernating reproductive potential inside them means that the bean/grain/nut/seeds provide much of what our own bodies need to sustain us.
So, at this point in your scrutinizing of Earth's supermarket you are consuming a lot of plants, and good for you! This is exactly what you need to live long and strong. As an argument for vegetarianism you could definitely stop your scanning and planning and enjoy a full, healthy life consuming plants, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds. But for arguments sake you are still hungry. You sense there is more to be taken from this land and certainly the human condition is coded for the taking. A deeper look presents you all the animals of the land and sea, and something quells inside you begging for a taste. It is not just the flavor of milk or meat the body craves, but the richness of nutrients within those foods. Animal tissue and fluid is a cornucopia of essential nourishment and the human body covets it like a primordial Costco trip- a sort of one stop shopping spree of nutrition's biggest and best. Liking the nutrients from animals, as many do, it makes most sense to take those nutrients primarily from the foods that the animals can provide us without actually taking the life of the creature itself. Continue building upon your initial plant selections with eggs and milk goods like cheese and yogurt (wise ancestors began culturing them primarily for preservation but with the added benefit of improving digestibility). These edible fauna byproducts should form the first layer of your animal proteins, but you may still crave the meat and that comes next. Begin your array with the small fish and birds before next moving on to their bigger siblings and yet larger land roaming animals; not only are these smaller creatures more bountiful, but their fat and muscle profiles are often better in sync with human nutritional needs.
So, you began your dietary cultivation with plants as the sweeping majority, moving next to bean/grain/nuts/seeds, and then onto the animals. It's a reverse profile of the typical slab of meat and scattered vegetables that most modern meals comprise, but a plant based diet is both an accurate guide for good health and a story of how the longest living humans have eaten for generations.
But where do the cookies belong? Where lie the cupcakes, the crackers, the crunchies and sweets? You'll find the processed boxes, wrappers, and cans on the far sidelines of nature's intended bounty. There is certainly plenty of energy in these fabricated food sources, but little else in terms of positive nutrients. The more you eat of these hyper manufactured foods the more you will crave; that refined salt/sugar/fat/carbohydrate combination proves too powerful a drug for even the most iron-clad intentions. You are welcome to nip from these processed treats, but certainly not at every meal and preferably not every day.
It's really not hard to navigate what to eat when you use this well layered consideration. When deciding what belongs on your plate choose from the foods which nature provides and the proportions in which nature provides them. And if in doubt there is always this question to ask:
Is this human food?
