'The temple's statue is kept hidden because its sight is unbearably frightening: people who catch a glimpse are in danger of losing their liver.'
From Bangladesh, 18 hours on India's Worst Train took us west through Bihar to relaxing Bodhgayer (most sacred to Buddhists with its tree of enlightenment). Pretty much deserted at this time of year a quick study of the Buddha was made whilst enjoying great international temples and 'donation only' accommodation. No Marabar Caves (Passage to India) due to banditry activity, and we were suitably enlightened by watermelon and pomegranate fruit juice instead.
Varanasi next: ghats with plenty of fires ablaze and bodies being cast into the Ganges. At 9pm with our rucksacks we encountered funeral processions in a maze of very narrow wynds in a powercut, falling over dark cows so tightly squeezed into the streets they must have been born there. From the steps of a ghat we climbed up and up to a great room with first class views over the sacred river.
Lucknow next with the splendid ruins of the British Residency. Strangely becoming Clive of India and General Havelock (again) a row ensued when we refused to pay the outrageous foreigner entrance prices. Demanding to speak to whoever was in charge, we were motorbiked far into the site among the dilapidated ruins once tragically famous for The Siege during the 1857 Mutiny. After a long and heated 'chat' with Dr Somebody in charge of the 'worst kept historical site in India' (recent magazine survey), it was agreed by his office that Will was 'worth 20 Indians because he has a British passport' and should therefore pay accordingly. Refusing his compromise of only 10 Indians we left his office, no one seemingly realising that we were now actually in the site.
Bussing north we finally left 6 months of India and entered the terraces on the shoulders of the Himalayas: Nepal. Pleasantly detained in a Butwal hotel by Maoist strikes, student riots and government bandhas we were allowed north after a couple of days to the town (and former kingdom) of Tansen: wonderful hill-top, tarmec-less place reminiscent of Tuscany? Trapped here in the traffic-less, lumpy-stoned narrow streets lined with beautiful houses we had absolutely no complaints amongst some great food. Nepal is full of traditions of behaviour and meeting and greeting, making it very pleasant for the visitor. From a long chat with a taxi driver we were told, rather drastically from a Hindu, that "tourists are gods".
We talked ourselves into a walk in the mountains (called a trek in Nepal), bought a map and set off at 5am with our compass for the dilipidated Ranighat Palace. We arrived at an incredible location over a huge river, having dropped over a vertical kilometre towards sea level, at times crawling on our hands and knees down ravines. Only 5hrs seemed good going. British-Indian troops had originally constructed a 'road' back from the palace, but it had long since collapsed into the river. We made the return journey via this route, ascending 15 miles to 1400m and taking only 6 hours without donkeys, only occasionally being overtaken by large moving bushes (with an old local somewhere inside). The beautiful tiny villages, huddled round their meeting trees, were wonderfully geared up for tourism ('2 years ago we had a hundred visitors') and the 3 shops we found were filled with randomly priced out of date things. An elderly gentleman alarmingly whipped the top off a challenging packet of peanuts with a large kukri for us, leaving us counting fingers and handing out peanuts.
With Maoist/government strikes and roadblocks besieging us in Tansen, worry set in as our rupees dwindled. Feeling guilty about the Red Cross ambulance suggestion, a local was 'persuaded' to drive us to Pokhara. At every checkpoint on the frighteningly high route, Emma feigned illness whilst a soldier poked about in our cakes, and on we continued. Villages perched on the ridges were very picturesque, and in one a handful of villagers told us a bus had been 'stopped' up ahead. Watching an old man box a 5 year old round the ears for strolling up the hill smoking a cigarette, our driver tied a rather large green banner across the front of the car, 'Only for Tourists'. Eventually we reached and squeezed past the smashed up minibus and a couple of burnt-out motorbikes, but nobody seemed to know exactly what had happened. And it didn't spoil the wonderful views down terraced rice paddys and dry river beds such a long way below. Six hours later we jumped out of the battered Toyota into a torrential downpour in Pokhara.
After slightly less resources than we'd normally expect for the last few months, the laid-back lakeside hangout of Pokhara was paradise: chocolate cake, beer, boiled vegetables (plain), swanky restaurants and Coldplay. Did you know that you can buy a thousand records and a thousand DVDs all one one CD for a pound? Even with all the political turmoil in Nepal, the biggest danger here is to eat, drink and spend considerably more than planned. According to the papers despite the unrest, tourism is booming: apparently tourists are spending less time here but are spending more cash. Even with summer mist obscuring most of Nepal for most of the day, the huge snow-capped Annapurna range back-drop and lake was even more perfect than those long, horizontal posters everywhere.
'Sleepy Kathmandu was invaded in 1966 by some 200 hippies from all over the world. They appeared like scubs on the anatomy of Kathmandu. Ill-clad, unkempt, with beads and bells, wearing flowers in their hair, gag buttons on their breasts, barefooted, carrying dreams in their heads and hope in their hearts and knap-sacks on their backs. For their parts, the hippies found Kathmandu especially groovy' (the 70's classic 'Hippie Dharma' by Captain F D Colaabavala, very entertaining).
A city now plundered by tourism (eg Thamel), but largely underdeveloped by Indian standards with rubbly roads and some very pleasant people. And with beautiful little rooms in old wooden, low beamed-ceilinged Nuwari houses for bargain off-season prices in Freak Street, and with bakeries and bars compensating for the lack of hippies somewhat.
And so finally we get up into those mountains. Firstly the Nepal/Tibet border, and then the Everest Base Camp before heading to Lhasa via some outrageously high mountain passes.

Date of Stay: November, 2007
One of the best around. Great sites and people. Stay on the bottom section because of road noise on the top. Very clean restrooms, fitness center and clean sites. A little pricey but a great place stay and go wine tasting.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
We have stayed here many times and the place just gets better. The staff is great, everything is clean, the location if convenient and in season the oranges are wonderful. Add free coffee and doughnuts and what more could you ask for.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
The back-in sites are short for a big motorhome, most sites do not have picnic tables, there is no place to sit in the restroom to put on your shoes and socks after your shower. Still it is a very nice stop, great if you play golf and the staff is very nice. We would stay here again but pay extra for the pull through.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Except for some road noise off of Highway 99 this is a great spot. They just added WiFi, the store is well stocked, the cafe is good and the golf course if not great is fun. The restrooms are always clean and the park is well maintained. The only draw back is a very limited cable system.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Great place to say if you are in Sacramento area. Very convenient location. You need to leave a key deposit for showers but overall not a bad spot.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Price on the high side and you have to pay for WiFi, $5 for four hours and $2 a day for Cable extra. Also, Motothomes will have to unhook tow car to get into most sites as the streets are narrow. All in all, a nice place but next time I will try another park.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Great spot for a short break. They have all kinds of giveaways in the casino, the golf course is wonderful and the views are spectacular.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
This one is a little overpriced. But overall it is fine.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Great place to hang out and visit Portland and the surrounding area. Late summer the Blackberries are wonderful the place is clean, easy to get around and the sites are well designed. Would stay there again.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
This may not be the most modern facility we have ever stayed at but it was one of the nicest. Be there on a Friday night and get treated to a good old fashion country music get together performed by three generations of locals. If people make the difference then this one tops the list.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
This is the place to stay when visiting the Nation's Captiol. Between the bus, the knowledgeable staff and the location this park has everything. Easy access, clean restrooms and nice sites.

Photo: Mcall.com When Roy Halladay arrived in Philadelphia, he was a man of mystery, in a sense. Many understood he was the best pitcher in the game and had seen him play, albeit very little, as he was tucked away in the bowels of the AL East, tossing complete games left and right for a Blue Jays team that struggled to find average behind the Red Sox and Yankees, and more recently, the Rays. With him came a workout that surpassed all others, one that few others dared to match because it involved waking up before 5 a.m. to complete it. Those within the organization noticed Halladay was machine-like in his routines; one of those who noticed was Cole Hamels. In an article by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, which is a nice read about the legend of Doc, Hamels gushed about the work ethic of his rotation mate. "If you don't want to be like him," Hamels said, "you just don't want to be successful. The guy is constantly going. I think I can hold my own running with him. But he's so focused and determined. He made a workout feel like a workout. You see guys work out and take breaks and talk and socialize. That's not working out. He made me grasp that even more. Don't take that break. Keep going. Keep going. Because that's what it takes. I saw it, I just didn't understand it. And once you follow him, you feel really great in the end, because you're worn out and tired as hell." The 2008 World Series MVP award secured it for us — Cole Hamels was going to be a damn good pitcher. But would he have reached his awesome potential and found the pot of gold last season in the form of a $144 million deal without Halladay having been his teammate? Hamels' 2009 season was one of little luck, but also one that spun out of control because of a shortened offseason following the World Series. Fans in Philly, prematurely, wondered if Hamels would ever "get it." He did, but it certainly helped that Halladay was there, pushing him along the way. Hamels worked with "performance specialist" Jim Brogan before Halladay arrived. But his game, and routine, went next-level with Halladay in the fold for the 2010 season. Hamels read "The Mental ABC's of Pitching" by Harvey Dorfman, the same book Halladay used to hone his skills when things went awry early in his career. Perhaps it's just coincidence that Hamels' career rounded back into form when Halladay became a Phillie. But if you believe what Hamels has said, Halladay has been a great help to his career. And the organization is better for it.

Kristina Hill was close friends with Jennifer Martel and lived next door to her and Jared Remy. She called into Mut and Merloni and gave a heartbreaking and at times chilling interview. She stated that Jenna Remy told Martel she was afraid Jared would kill her and spoke about the involvement of the Remy family.

Race starts (USAC and Indycar): 1184
Wins: 200
Poles: 123
Nascar Titles: 7
Daytona 500 Wins: 7
The best NASCAR driver ever, period. I mean, 200 wins?! I had to a double take when I read those statistics. Richard Petty has been and always will be "The King." He made the number 43 an iconic number around the world. He won 27 races in the 1967 season alone! He also has the most Daytona 500 wins of all time with seven. Seven Daytona 500 wins. Unreal. Richard Petty carries with him an infectious smile and great personality, and he will be forever known as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
Stay tuned for #3. Let me know what you think.

Skin tones, tats, and visible hair hanging out the helmets would be awesome. No Female race
2 replies 217 views Edited Jan 11, 2013
I am almost 100 % posistive Santa Monica will be putting in skin tones for the final product. Two of there lead developers are African American. As am I and would much appreciate it. im about 80 % about tats or some form of war paint. 1 word for that EPIC. And 20% about the hair. Even though I beleive it would seriously be epic. If they could get the hairs so sway smoth in battle. ponytails, long hair, viking style, or just plane bald. omg would this not be epic. Though i veiw mit unlikely it is still a good idea lol. I mean we have to look at the big picture. Female gladiators is a instant kill for the game. I dont think I need to say more.

"It's kind of redundant, but there is a reason that happened. If you don't believe in yourself, all the way through, then it's never going to happen. That's what this team has been all about. They haven't lost more than two games in a row all year, they've been consistent since our first weekend. Their character was high and it got higher as the season went through."
"Everything our administration did this weekend, I've been here for a long time. We've hosted a couple of regionals, and everything was done in a first class manner. There were so many people involved, I heard nothing but how professional this was, from concessions to bleachers."
"I don't think you can carry the emotion over, but every time you win a game like this it makes you a little bit tougher. It makes you believe you can do anything. So yes, there is something we can gain from this game. When you do something like this, nothing scares you quite as much."
"These players refuse to quit. If you always refuse to quit, it's one of the sayings that made us famous here. The one the great Coach Valvano said. And that was a different scenario, but it applies to everything in life."
Tarran Senay
We fought and fought. This team never gives up. It's so fun to play, it's excitement. Luckily, my teammates gave me an opportunity to get big hits. Vanderbilt is a great team, but luckily we came out with a win today."
"I didn't think he was going to throw another slider, so I guess I sat on the fastball, you could say that. I took a swing, it went out, luckily."
"That was unbelievable, for us to come out and get this victory."
"In the back of my mind I always think (I'm going to hit a home run.) Maybe that's why my average is so low."
Ryan Wilkins
"The crowd was electric, like everybody said. The fans were great. I was pretty much trying to spot up my fastball and mix in some sliders."

"We've been down a lot, and that's one thing about this team, we don't look too far ahead. We're just trying to win each inning and win each pitch. Nobody is ever going to give up and we just kept fighting."
"It's going to be interesting. The junior college I went to was actually in Gainesville too, so I'll have a lot of haters and hopefully a lot of fans out there. It's a Super Regional, no different than anywhere else. It will be a lot of fun."

Question about lighting circuit
Some people do things differently.
Should I run my lighting circuit to the range hood, and junction to the other half of the kitchen from there, or should I put an extra wire in a box (have room) and have the junction there (more wire this way)
6 of 1 half a dozen of the other?
Id dead end it at the range hood,wouldnt use the rangehood as a junction box.
What happens if you ever decide to relocate range hood? :)
A range hood that is cord and plug connected requires a dedicated circuit.
Ive never come across a range hood that was connected by a cord by design anyway,ive seen a few bootlegged to a plug with an extension cord though! :laughing:
The range hoods i normally see are hard wired.
Those built in microwaves with a fan under them definately get wired into a dedicated circuit in my world anyway :)
Anyway, this one is island mounted, so it's gotta be hardwired. I don't see specs for the wiring, but i'd assume you're not going to get an island hood with a plug on it. :huh:

|Glen Davis meets John Havlicek and learns a lesson about toughness
|05.05.11 at 4:43 pm ET
WALTHAM — The Celtics aren't in the easiest spot right now. They're banged up. They're getting outworked and they're down two games to a Miami Heat team that many consider the odds-on favorite right now to capture the NBA title.
But alas, not all hope is lost. Just ask Glen Davis, who Thursday at Celtics practice had a chance encounter with a Celtics legend of the past who told Davis to just hang in there. After all – as the Ringo Starr song goes – It Don't Come Easy. Just like John Havlicek told Davis.
"The frustration, things not working out, you can get all messed up. But I was talking to Havlicek today, you know, 'Havlicek Stole the Ball' and I said which one of these [championship] banners were you 0-2, and he said the one that stood out to him was 1969. When they were down 0-2, they came back to win it in Game 7 against the Lakers."
That was the series, of course, that featured the Don Nelson shot that bounced straight up after hitting the back of the rim and came down through the net at the old Los Angeles Arena to put the Celtics on top and lead them to their 11th title with Bill Russell in the organization. It also marked the only time the Celtics ever won a series after losing the first two games.
"He was just saying, 'It's going to take everything in you to fight and claw back and get back to get to 2-2 even but then it's going to take something special to finish them off.'"
Can they do it against the Miami Heat? Davis said Thursday after practice that getting back to the mental and physical toughness that makes the Celtics a great team would be a good place to start.
"We didn't play Celtics basketball," Davis said. "Nobody played the way they were supposed to play. Ray had a good game the first game but we still didn't pull it off. We all were supposed to play well but we didn't. It's easy to point the finger and blame and play the blame game as Kanye West would say but you've got to go get it. That's all it is right now. X's and O's and you can coach as much as you want but that still ain't going to make it happen."
|Irish Coffee: Celtics passing the test
|12.13.10 at 12:43 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Yes, the Celtics allow the fewest points in the NBA. That's obviously one reason for their success this season. But they're also the best passing team — and, as a result — the best shooting team in the league.
And that's why this Celtics team is riding a 10-game winning streak and ranked No. 1 in most power rankings. During the win streak, the C's have knocked down 51.7 percent of their field goals, shooting at least 50 percent eight times.
For the season, the Celtics are shooting better than any other team in the last 10 years, making 50.9 percent of their shots. The next-best team (Phoenix) is shooting 47.8 percent.
So, why are the Celtics shooting so well? They're passing the ball better than everybody. In essence, they give up good shots to get better shots.
The C's average 25.9 assists per game; only one other team (Utah) averages 24. What's even more remarkable is that they're doing that while shooting fewer shots than any other team in the league. The Celtics have averaged just 76.7 field goal attempts per game; no other team shoots fewer than 77.
The Celtics are shooting fewer shots but taking better shots than everybody else in the league. How do you get better shots? By making the extra pass.
The Celtics have recorded an assist on 66.6 percent of their field goals this year. That mark is better than any Celtics team of the last 20 years. In fact, the NBA's best all-time passing team — the 1984-85 Los Angeles Lakers — averaged 31.4 assists a game but assisted on just 65.2 percent of their field goals.
Obviously, Rajon Rondo is the main reason. He's averaging 13.7 assists per game — a 40 percent improvement from last year — and threatening to break John Stockton's 1989-90 NBA single-season record (14.5 per game).
But just how big a role has Rondo played in the C's passing success? The team is averaging 10 percent more assists per game this season than last — all while Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal, Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels are averaging fewer assists than they did last season. In fact, only Ray Allen and Glen Davis are averaging more assists than they did in 2009-10.
During their current 10-game winning streak, the Celtics have committed more turnovers than their opponents four times and have been out-rebounded three times, but they owned the assist advantage in all 10 games.
In fact, the Celtics have not been out-assisted once this season. Through 23 games, they've recorded 168 (39.2 percent) more assists despite shooting 11 (1 percent) fewer shots than their opponents.
So, what do all these numbers mean? Essentially, game in and game out, the Celtics' superb passing ability can make up for deficiencies in other areas.
As Kobe Bryant approaced John Havlicek's career scoring mark (he surpassed it Friday), NBA.com caught up with Hondo to talk Lakers and Celtics.
Here are a few of the highlights from the interview:
NBA.com: What are your thoughts on Kobe being on the cusp of passing you for the 11th spot on the all-time scoring list?
Havlicek: Actually, I thought he already surpassed me and that is was a foregone conclusion that he would eclipse me because he's been playing a number of years.
He came right out of high school and with the career that he's had and the teams that he's played with — he's been surrounded by good players and championship-caliber coaches — it's not surprising.
Who knows how far he's going to go? How long he's going to play? He could end up second or third. I don't know if he can reach Kareem. He's been a fantastic player.
Kobe came in with a little bit of an attitude early on and a lot of people thought that it was a little bit too much for a high school player to have that type of attitude. But he certainly made people realize that he wanted to be one of the best and comparing him to Michael is something that people have done, so it puts him in a class above most people.
NBA.com: When he retires, where will Kobe rank among the all-time great Lakers?
Havlicek: Well, Jerry West said Kobe is the all-time Laker as he sees it, but I never played against Kobe, so Jerry West is my all-time Laker.
If Jerry West says Kobe is the all-time great Laker, I'll go along with him, but Jerry's my favorite all-time Laker.
NBA.com: Do you wish you played with the 3-point line?
Havlicek: I'm just as happy to get an old fashioned three I guess. It would have added a few more points to my career and it would have probably changed the way I played but I can't really say how much it would have changed my game because I never played under that ruling.
NBA.com: One record that appears to be safe is your Celtics all-time scoring mark. At 33 years old, Pierce would need to score 6,000 points just to tie you.
Havlicek: Well, I don't know how long Paul is going to play but I think he's probably the best 1-on-1 Celtic player of all time because the game that he has is much different than the game other people play. His ability to score and create shots is something that he's done better than any other Celtic. If he plays long enough, he'll break the record. I don't know if that's something he has on his mind or not.
NBA.com: Talk about Rajon Rondo's emergence into an elite point guard.
Havlicek: He's unlike any point that I've ever seen. He rebounds. He doesn't shoot the ball that well. He's not a great free-throw shooter. But his ability to create situations on the floor is uncanny. He's not like a Chris Paul who breaks down defenses and that type of thing. He's totally a different kind of point guard.
I don't know how you can compare him to anyone. He can play defense. He's one of the great steals leaders of the league. His quickness is probably the thing that separates him from most players. He doesn't appear to be that quick but he sort of leaves people in the dust.
He's a surprising type of point guard that's unlike any I've ever seen. He gets the job done.
Speaking of Celtics vs. Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal knows the rivalry fairly well at this point. So, the Boston Herald asked him to compare C's head coach Doc Rivers and Lakers head coach Phil Jackson. Here's what he said:
"I'm going to call Doc an ebonic Phil Jackson. And what I mean by that is Phil Jackson has his Buddha ways, but Doc got his homeboy ways because he was once one of us and he really relates to us very well. I think the guys respect him for that. You know, he treats us like men. He only expects one thing from us: Do what he says and play hard. If you could substitute a better word than 'ebonic Phil Jackson,' I'd like you guys to put your degrees to work. But it's sort of like that, on that level."
As a player, Rivers averaged 10.9 points and 5.7 assists, making one All-Star Game and never winning a title in 13 seasons. Jackson averaged 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds, never making an All-Star team and winning the 1973 NBA title.
As a coach, Rivers has won 55.0 percent of his games, one Coach of the Year honor and the 2008 NBA championship in 12 seasons. Jackson has won 70.5 percent of his games, one Coach of the Year award and 11 NBA titles in 20 years.
Gatorsports.com caught up with University of Florida volleyball standout Callie Rivers — Doc's daughter — who broke down the family basketball dynamics:
Q: If there was a Rivers family 1-on-1 basketball tournament, who would win?
A: (Younger brother and the nation's top high school recruit) Austin. Maybe (Indiana University senior) Jeremiah. Maybe my dad, actually.
Q: You think your brothers can beat your dad?
A: I don't know. My dad doesn't take to losing very well. He's got some weight on all of my brothers, so he'd probably find some way to pull it out. He's a better shooter now than what he was when he was playing, which is weird. Maybe there's no pressure now.

|Rivers embraces Celtics history
|05.21.10 at 4:15 pm ET
WALTHAM — History and tradition are wonderful, but there are times when the burden can be too great. Times when the ones who built that legacy feel the need to defend it, and in so doing, wind up taking shots at the current structure. Take the Chicago Bears who are getting criticism from Gale Sayers, among others.
The Celtics are one of the most unique franchises in all of sports, and their past is always playing with the present.
Take Paul Pierce's epic Game 7 showdown with LeBron James in the 2008 playoffs. The immediate comparison, of course, was to Larry Bird in 1988 against Dominique Wilkins and the Hawks. It's hard to create your own path when everything has already been done before your time.
But the Celtics embrace their history, and it helps that their alumni embrace it too; as history.
"Our guys are the best," Doc Rivers said. "That's the biggest thing that I tell people all the time. From afar you think, man you see all these ex-players around, are they still trying to hold on to their little piece? I don't know about other organizations, actually I do, but this one is different. Our guys so much want you to do well because you're a Celtic and they don't worry about their legacy because they have championships too. I think it's amazing. The best I've ever seen. [John] Havlicek, [Bill] Russell, all of them. When they come around all they tell you is that they want you and how to win."
The video montage that runs before Celtics games features ex-Celtic greats from Red to Larry to Russ all speaking about their time in Boston as players and what it meant to them to be a Celtics. It's a subtle reminder, although perhaps not that subtle, of the expectations.
"We brainwash [them] a little bit too and we do it on purpose," Rivers said. "We show a lot of film of those guys. Larry Bird, some of the things he said, all the stuff about playing in Boston. The history of their voice, for [coaching purposes], is far better than the history of their play."

Empire of Illusion
Program #HEDC003. Recorded in Seattle, WA on July 22, 2009.Many sectors of the media and the general culture form veritable weapons of mass distraction. Maybe they should be monitored to protect citizens with regular inspections from the United Nations. Perhaps the Surgeon General should label TV programs the same way she labels cigarettes and alcohol. So while we are enduring yet another episode of Madonna adopting a child in Malawi or baseball slugger Manny Ramirez taking steroids, a scroll will appear at the bottom of the screen saying: this program can cause mental health problems or this is fluff. Run of the mill sound bite journalism is shallow and lacks detail and context. Things just happen. The end result? The triumph of inanity and superficiality producing an ignorant population unable to comprehend important public issues.

Turkey Will Not Apologize For Armenian GenocideRoundup: Talking About History
Turkey has reacted angrily to a demand by France that it accept responsibility for a"genocide" against Armenians nearly 80 years ago, which is thought to have influenced the Nazi Holocaust.
Michel Barnier, the French Foreign Minister, insisted that Turkey must officially recognise the 1915 genocide before it joins the European Union.
Historians believe that Turkish authorities orchestrated the killing of 1.5 million Armenian Christians, who were indigenous inhabitants of Turkey, in a brutal attempt to make an ethnically pure nation. However, the Turkish Government has always said that only a small number were killed in spontaneous acts of violence.
M Barnier said:"In the course of the accession negotiations, France will ask for a recognition of the tragedy at the outset of the 20th century. When the time comes, Turkey should face up to the requirement of remembrance. The European project itself is founded on reconciliation."
He said that recognition should not be a precondition for membership talks with Turkey, a step to be decided by EU leaders on Thursday. However, he insisted that Turkey recognise the genocide during the membership talks, which are expected to last ten years:"We have ten years to ask it. The Turks have ten years to think about their response."
He later referred to it as a genocide, the first time the French Government has used that word, having previously preferred tragedy. Many parliaments in Europe have called on Turkey to recognise the slaughter, which is marked by monuments in many European cities.
However, a Turkish government spokesman said:"There was no such genocide, so there is no question of recognising a genocide that did not happen."
One Turkish official said:"They are just trying to make us angry. It is their last chance to cause trouble against us."

Manny Porter - 11/24/2005
Anthony Browne of the Times shows his bias when he writes, "Historians believe that Turkish authorities orchestrated the killing of 1.5 million Armenian Christians... in a brutal attempt to make an ethnically pure nation." Real historians always examine all sides to a claim, not just one. There are many fact-valuing historians who don't believe these events constituted an extermination policy, or genocide. (And certainly not in numbers that approximate the entire pre-war population of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. After the war, in 1918, the Armenian Patriarch estimated (from an inflated pre-war population figure of 2.1 million) there were 840,000 deaths and 1,260,000 survivors.
If any historian claims 1.5 million Armenians died, then such a historian is out-propagandizing the Armenian Patriarch, so the last word to define such a person would be "historian."
And why did the Armenians die? Famine and disease were the main killers, causes that took the brunt of the lives of 2.5 million Turks. Is there a reason why the Turks wanted to ethnically purify the nation, when the Armenians prospered for centuries as the Loyal Nation, and when the other ethnic groups of the heterogeneous, multi-cultural empire remained intact (like the Jews)? For the answer, Anthony Browne could have searched the archives of his own newspaper. Armenian leader Boghos Nubar wrote, in a January 30, 1919 letter to The Times of London:
"...Ever since the beginning of the war the Armenians fought by the side of the Allies on all fronts... the Armenians have been belligerents de facto."
The rebellious Armenians posed a grave danger to a nation on its knees besieged on all fronts. They needed to be temporarily (at war's end, the relocated Armenians were allowed to return) moved out of the way, a method nations of the period especially employed against peoples presumed to pose a danger. In war time, people die. It's not nice, but to label events as a genocide in the absence of factual proof is not the conscientious step to take.

• According to VegetableGardener.com, a shovel, some straw, a trash can, and a tarp can be employed to fashion a mini-root-cellar of sorts: choose a dry spot in your backyard; dig a hole deep enough for the can; fill the can with roots such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, kohlrabi, turnips, rutabagas and beets; cap it; cover with straw and tarp; and voila! MotherEarthNews.com notes that barrels and clay drainpipes could serve similar purposes.
Right around now, when the ground is hard as rock and abundant harvests exist only in the realm of imagination, you might be cursing your lack of root-cellaring foresight. Never fear, there's always next season. In the meantime, read up. These books are particularly comprehensive:

Another Goodbye >>>
... Bodali, in India. They are in the small town of Beaver Falls near Pittsburgh. Excited about the prospect of seeing them again.
Our departure from Germantown was on a very wet morning and unfortunately things did not improve on the way north. The scenery was looking good but would have been even better were it not for the driving rain that lashed at us most of the day.
I keep reminding myself, this is travelling not always a holiday.
... town. We took photos for grandpa and had a little look around the town and had some lunch there. We had lunch at an Italian place which was perfecto. I really enjoyed it and I think my family did also. When we got back tot the hotel at about 4. We sat around for a bit then we went to the hotel lobby for dinner which again was another painful ...
Today we got a fair sleep in because we didn't have to do much traveling today as all we did was walk around the city of where my dad grew up as a kid, and spent a bit of coin on some souvenirs. It started off with a buffet breakfast, the buffet was pretty small to be honest. There was only a few cereals, a few types of toast and then ...
... road and continued to boston. Once we got to boston it was about tea time so we unloaded our stuff into our room and went out to get tea. We went to this sports bar place for tea. It was like the times square of boston!! There was so many tv screens with different sports on them. One had baseball, one had soccer, one had ice hockey! When we got back to the hotel we got a room service dessert. After dessert i think we were all full. Pittsburgh is great so far. Cya, Emily ...
Visited Univ of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon
... the Carnegie Mellon campus and attended their information session. Te prospective students were more the diversity of Wheeler magnetic - more serious students and very Asian. They had 4 major schools - Engineering, Computer science, Fine Arts and Sciences. A smaller school yet the campus was close in size to the Pitt campus. Much more grass and a smaller campus ...

When I heard about his birthday
from the ''birdie'' Adrienne
I thought I better write a poem
to celebrate this man.
His heart is young as ever.
His soul has touched us all.
He always seems to be there

If I had lots of money
I'd buy something you could use....
but since I'm just a ''po' folk''
I'll say Happy Birthday Mr. Hughes!

finishing basement walls
I've just installed insulpink around the interior of my basement. My question is what to finish the walls with ? I don't want to use drywall. I live on a hill and always have a very dry basement. I was wondering if a "floating" type flooring product would be a good option on the walls ?? I can glue it to the ridged foam and nail every two feet into the furring strips, any suggestion ??? Thanks
Can I ask why you don't want to drywall? You can also look at paneling and staple it to the strips.
I want more of a wood look and the flooring can be purchased prefinished. I don't need a thick flooring so that's why I was leaning toward the floating snap together type,(don't need the durability on the wall application). I just don't want to mess with dry wall and taping, painting ect. I'm just wondering what problems might arise since I've never done this or seen it in person??? Also the furring runs vertical so the flooring would be glued and nailed horizontally.
I guess it is possible...
Are you going to put it on the ceiling also, so you can be Lionel Ritchie "Dancing on the Ceiling"?
Seriously. Man up and rock the walls. You can hang beer signs if you want to "man cave" it.
Your best bet if you do truly not want drywall would be wood paneling. A "wood wall" install would be messier, much more expensive, and more difficult than drywall IMO.
I think most people are curious as to why the distaste for drywall? It is fairly simplistic to put up, and just takes a little more time than wood paneling. It is also a very good skill to have. There are a lot of people on here that spent a lot of time and effort to take down and rip out what you are trying to put up.
I know how it is when you post and people don't give you answers but just ask more questions, so hopefully this helps, but definitely at least entertain the drywall! I think you will be much happier with your efforts in the long run.
Insulpink looks to be a foam material so you will need to use a proper ignition/fire barrier over it. Drywall provides this, wood paneling does not. If you have a fire and the foam catches, it can release toxic gases. If you are already out of the house then great. If you are not, your chances are lessened due to the burning foam board. I vote for drywall. This would be a good time to contact local code people as well. My guess is that the foam says that it must be covered with a proper ignition barrier as well.
I hear ya, I just like the look of a slightly darker wood on the top half of the wall. I was thinking of getting some ledger style stone for the bottom half. I'm just trying to get some ideas that are a little different than all the others I've seen. I just find the sheetrock walls to be a little boring.
try finding a old barn that you will offer to tear down for material and use reclaimed barn siding or just buy it you could also use a wood siding of some kind and wax or stain it to color you like

NORTH LIBERTY– The North Liberty Building Community group has invited the 13 candidates on the Sept. 8 ballot for the Iowa City Community School District to a meet-and-greet event in North Liberty.
The free, public event will be from at 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Aug. 29, in the lower-level Gerdin Conference Room 2 at the North Liberty Community Center, 520 W. Cherry St. The North Liberty Building Community Group is nonpartisan, will not make endorsements, and is hosting this opportunity only for residents to meet the candidates in person and to gather information about them in one place.
SHUEYVILLE– Weather permitting, construction will start on Curtis Bridge Road NE from Shueyville's corporate limit south to the dead end of Curtis Bridge Road NE on Monday, Aug. 24. Although Curtis Bridge Road will remain open to traffic, travelers should expect lane closures using pilot cars and flaggers with the potential for somewhat lengthy traffic delays. Construction should be complete by the end of October 2015.
NORTH LIBERTY– Shawn Eyestone and his campaign cordially invite the public to attend "meet-and-greet" events. Eyestone is running for a seat on the Iowa City Community School District Board. Guests will have an opportunity to speak with Eyestone about his areas of focus on the future of the school board and what action plans he'd like to set in motion when elected.
The following dates and locations have been set for the meet and greet events:
Sunday, Aug. 23. 10:30 a.m. Panera Bread located at 1646 Sycamore St. in Iowa City.
JOHNSON COUNTY– Though the Johnson County Board of Supervisors heard overwhelming support for an ordinance that would raise the minimum wage countywide, there are still many unanswered questions, pockets of uncertainty and details to be worked out before a final vote.
The board held a public forum Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Johnson County Health and Human Services building to allow the public to weigh in on a proposed ordinance that would increase the minimum hourly wage for all workers in Johnson County from $7.25 to $10.10 by January 2017.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will partner with Iowa Audubon for the Fifth Annual Pelican Festival on Sunday, Sept. 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., located across the road from the IDNR headquarters at the Hawkeye Wildlife Area, 2564 Amana Road N.W.
This is a free family event and there will be guest speakers on a variety of topics. Prime pelican viewing will be enhanced with spotting scopes provided by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
JOHNSON COUNTY– City government elections will be held Thursday, Nov. 3. Below are important deadlines for anyone considering running for office. Beginning this year, city election candidates should file their nomination papers with the Johnson County Auditor's office, not with their respective cities.
Vacancies in this area include:
· North Liberty: Three council seats (four-year terms)
· Oxford: Mayor (two-year term), three council seats (four-year terms)
· Shueyville: Mayor (two-year term), three council seats (four-year terms)
SOLON– On Thursday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m., the Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center (JECC) received a report of a missing child at Lake MacBride State Park and a deputy from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the scene.
At 2:13 p.m., the JECC received another 911 call from a group of teens who found an unresponsive child in the water at the beach. The teens removed the child from the water and immediately began performing CPR. The child was pronounced dead at the scene by a University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) AirCare physician.
SOLON– There will be four candidates running for two seats on the Solon school board, and all are scheduled to appear at a candidate forum Wednesday, Aug. 19, at the Solon Public Library.
School elections will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Incumbent Dan Coons will be seeking re-election to the Solon board, but two-term member Dean Martin will not.
Instead, three other residents have thrown their hat in the ring.
Adam Haluska, Jim Hauer and Amber Marty all filed candidate petitions that included at least 47 signatures with the district office by the July 30 deadline, as did Coons.
SOLON– Three months after her retirement from teaching first grade at Lakeview Elementary School, Rosann Sandersfeld leafed through a book of student letters.
Printed painstakingly in pencil, the children thanked Mrs. Sandersfeld for her teaching career and urged her to enjoy retirement in the simplest of ways. Some hoped she'd be able to sleep in more and watch TV. Some, in a throwback to their first grade nutrition unit, implored their teacher to eat nuts and drink milk. All agreed, she must spend as many days as possible in pajamas.
SOLON– This new paint job will cost $62,500.
The members of the Solon City Council approved a bid of that amount from Central Tank Coatings, Inc. of Elgin for painting the city's water tower.
The city received two quotes for the project, reported Public Works Director Scott Kleppe at a regular Aug. 5 council meeting. The other bid, for $76,780, came from the company with which the city had a long-standing relationship, Maguire Iron of Sioux Falls, S.D., said Kleppe.
Middle School football equipment handout Aug. 19 and Aug. 30
SOLON– Eighth grade football players will receive their equipment on Wednesday, Aug. 19, starting at 4 p.m. in the middle school athletic hallway. Seventh grade football players will receive their equipment on Thursday, Aug. 30, starting at 4 p.m. in the middle school athletic hallway.
SOLON– The Solon Athletic Booster Club will be sponsoring the 15th annual Booster Bash Golf Outing on Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Lake Macbride Golf Course. The event is open to anyone interested in supporting the student athletes of the Solon Community School District.
This year's outing is going to be the day after the all-sports

The former boss of Manukau Council is in line for a top job at the new Supercity, just one month after receiving a $171,700 redundancy payout.
Leigh Auton is understood to be on a shortlist to be appointed as a director of the Property Council Controlled Organisation. The appointment pays $35,000 and will be debated and voted on during a confidential part of the CCO appointments committee on Thursday.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown said it would be inappropriate to comment until after it had been considered by the appropriate committee.
But the secretive appointment process has been attacked as going against Brown's promises of a transparent council.
Jami-Lee Ross said: "Len Brown has spoken at length about wanting the new council to be open to public scrutiny. If it's good enough for us to expect the CCO boards to hold their meetings in public then it should be good enough for us to do the same. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander."
Auton, who has set up own consultancy business, was unavailable for comment.
The week before Brown was elected mayor of the new council he was abused by protesters for naming a south Auckland park Leigh Auton Reserve.
Seven CCOs have been set up to deliver services and manage some of the council's assets.
Ratepayers paid out around $20 million in redundancy packages to 650 council staff as the new council was being set up, the Herald on Sunday revealed this month.
Another $1.6m will be spent recruiting workers for the new Supercity council, including some of those who were made redundant.

One versus two titanium screw fixation of autologous onlay bone grafts in the anterior maxilla: a randomised histological pilot study
Burger, Evita A.C. / Meshkini, Hamid / Lindeboom, Jerome A.H.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the histological presentation of local mandibular bone grafts fixed with one screw or two screws in buccal anterior maxillary augmentation procedures.
Study design: Local buccal defects of the anterior maxilla were reconstructed in 12 patients (mean age 47 � 17 years, range 18 to 67 years) using autogenous cortical bone grafts from the mandibular retromolar area. Patients were randomised using envelopes containing study identification numbers. After randomisation, two screws were used to fix the bone graft in six patients, and one screw was used in the other six patients. Four months later during implant placement, a bone biopsy was taken with a trephine. The biopsies were processed for light microscope evaluation.
Results: The mean total bone volume varied from 35.8% to 72.4% (mean 51.1% � 13.4%) in the one-screw group and from 28.7% to 56.6% (mean 40.8% � 11.5%) in the two-screw group. The mean non-vital bone volume ranged from 0% to 2% (mean 0.9% � 0.9%) in the one-screw group and from 0% to 8.9% (mean 2.2% � 3.7%) in the two-screw group. The mean osteoid volume ranged from 2.2% to 7.3% (mean 5.4% � 1.7%) in the one-screw group and from 2.0% to 16.4% (mean 7.3% � 5%) in the two-screw group.
Conclusion: No significant histological differences were found between the use of one or two screws to fix an autologous bone graft in buccal bone grafting procedures prior to implant placement.
Keywords: bone reconstruction, onlay bone grafts, ramus grafts, screw fixation

Darker than Black Gaiden 02
Darker than Black Gaiden 2 is finally tying the series in from the first to the second one.
Hei and Yin's escape from Tokyo gets more and more iffy and dangerous with every stop, latest one being Hong Kong. It's here finally where Yin is really starting to show signs of changes… like this;
and this;
Durr hurr hurr, who are you and what have you done to my Yin!
Evil Yin is… well, disturbing. After all we know about her, seeing her saying venomous things like this with that ice-cold expression does make it very unnerving.
This episode is also finally brings in the new characters of DtB2, such as Madame Oreille, Sawasaki and Kanami (post-credits) in to the fold. I do want to know exactly what is the cause for Yin's changes and looks like the Gaiden will be answering that.
A rewatch of Ryuusei no Gemini might be in order after this.

The irregular thump of blow after blow echoes around the ring as the boxers swing and block, gloves raised, sweat pouring from their bodies. In the netherworld of this underground boxing club in a disused bomb shelter in West Jerusalem there is no politics, only sport.
Palestinian against Israeli, Jew against Muslim, yeshiva student against soldier - when they're in the ring at the Jerusalem Boxing Club they leave it all ''upstairs'', says 69-year-old Gershon Luxemburg, one of the legends of Israeli boxing and a no-nonsense advocate for reconciliation.
Ismail Jafri, a Palestinian from the East Jerusalem village of Jabal Mukabbir, agrees - he has been boxing at the club for 16 years and is now one of the assistant trainers.
On the night Fairfax Media visits, the 36-year-old truck driver - who with the encouragement of Luxemburg ran his own boxing studio in East Jerusalem - is putting some of the more experienced boxers through their paces.
Jafri says his family thinks nothing of him boxing with Israelis.
Grinning shyly and protesting at having to speak about politics, he notes with pride: ''We are an example. We have one rule here - we don't talk about politics, we are here for the sports and for the friendship.''
There is genuine affection between the long-time boxers - an arm around the shoulder after sparring, some quiet conversation about family and work on the sidelines - and there are many stories of friendships that stretch well beyond the boxing ring and into the world ''upstairs''.
With the construction of Israel's security barrier that separates Arab and Jewish neighbourhoods throughout the West Bank and East Jerusalem, there are fewer and fewer places for Israelis and Palestinians to mix.
Luxemburg sees no irony in his boxing club providing one of the rare opportunities in this deeply divided city for people from all sides of the conflict to mix. He shakes his head at the myriad formal, failed attempts at ''coexistence''.
''Here the mixture is very natural - they have to fight in the ring, they have to do things together and they mix immediately,'' Luxemburg says. ''There can be wars all around but no one will say anything bad about the other - we are just here for the sport.''
Last month, Luxemburg took a team of boxers to a national sports competition in Israel - half the team were Jews and half were Arabs. ''Everybody was shocked … the kids were sleeping next to each other, they were training together, they were eating together, they were helping each other, it was completely natural - but it only happens here,'' he said. ''There were teams for all the sports but … I didn't see even one team that was mixed Jews and Arabs other than my team, and that says everything.''
Luxemburg was not always so committed to building bridges. He has boxed since the age of seven, when, on the streets of Tashkent in Uzbekistan, he had to protect himself from anti-Semitism. His Romanian parents fled the horrors of World War II, first to Kyrgyzstan and then to Uzbekistan, eventually making their way to Israel with their four sons in 1972.
Luxemburg, who is a building manager by day, as well as a musician and a published poet with a degree in Russian literature, fought in an Israeli tank command in the Yom Kippur War and the first Lebanon war.
He later joined the militant Jewish Underground, which carried out shootings and bombings targeting Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Jailed in 1987 on charges of stockpiling weapons in his house, allegedly for attacks on Arabs, Luxemburg now says the only way to reach a lasting peace is through tolerance and understanding. ''We were a very patriotic family,'' he says. ''It was a very difficult time, it was the first intifada, I was caught with guns in my house. I was ready to defend myself and my country at any cost.''
But he eventually realised the people he was fighting against were just like him. ''I saw that they had the same feelings and fears as me, and I realised I had to find another way.''
He opened the boxing club with his brother Eli in 1981 and for years now has accepted anyone who wants to join - last week there were four teenaged girls training with the team, as well as primary school kids and yeshiva students.
''This was a very, very poor neighbourhood with a lot of young people on the streets with nothing to do,'' Luxemburg says.
''It is very symbolic of the second class. If you are first class, we will find you on the tennis court or at the swimming pool - people with no other options come to box.''
He is famous for spotting boxing talent on the street, inviting an Arab teenager from the local service station to box with kids from the Russian community who ''have not integrated into society''.
''I can see the fire in their eyes - you can recognise it immediately,'' he says. Back in the ring, the boxers are sparring four pairs at a time, while in the next room, others are working out on the punching bags and refining their technique.
The bell rings, and the groups change over - a well-oiled machine trained by the former Uzbek and Israeli boxing champion and his Palestinian colleague.
His charges stand poised, fists raised. Luxemburg rings the bell and yells, ''BOX!'' and the sparring begins anew. As he paces the side of the ring, yelling encouragement and a few gentle home truths, he turns to explain what he has created here. ''They are not here because they want coexistence, they are here because they want to box.''

Read Whole Story
A matter of days after losing everything they owned, including their home, their pets -- everything -- and all because of a delinquent $75 fee, Gene Cranick and his family were excoriated and teased by multimillionaire celebrity televangelist Glenn Beck.
The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has long been known to be a honey pot of carbon credit income for cheating project developers. ...
Instead of prayer, the president could have asked us all in his address to make sacrifices towards the goal of weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels. It wouldn't have hurt. But it would have been mostly ignored.
Republicans will readily admit that trying to win over black voters has been a lost cause since LBJ, so why not exploit that loss by playing to white racial bias and thus locking down larger chunks of the white vote?
Don't tell me that nontroversy doesn't matter. With nearly as many Americans approving of Palin as Obama, nontroversy really, really matters.
It's been exactly one year since Barack Obama was elected, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the president hasn't fixed the whole world yet. Then again, he never promised such a thing.
We all understand that Americans have a short attention span, and an even shorter memory, but the Republicans are really counting on it as they exploit the post-underpants bomber freakout.
I've been following the Republican descent into the realms of the bizarre for some time now, and I'm convinced that if they retook Congress the Republicans might try to impeach the president.
The wingnuts don't consistently merge health care reform with Obama's name just because it's catchy.
We now have this example of a pro-reform demonstrator appearing at a weekend tea party protest packing heat.
The right-wing satellite of crazy has evolved from being a silly assembly of sore losers to a dangerous posse -- a rabble of misinformed cranks who have no problem targeting children.
Honestly, the whole "Death Panel" thing was so "out there," it didn't resonate with me until I came across this Newscom photo today.
Summertime and the Republicans are crazy. I mean, literally crazy in a way that usually gets people kicked off public transportation.
Senior citizens disrupting town halls are participating in a corporate lobbyist-driven campaign to prevent the rest of us from acquiring the same affordable, reliable public health care they enjoy.
If you haven't seen this before, it's because the image, like Palin herself, is radioactive.
What's the difference between an overly bubbly housing market and sugary carbonated beverages? Both appeal to our infantile desire for instant gratification.
{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
Any list of potential 2012 Republican Presidential candidates can be broken down into the die-hard win...
Whether intentional or not, the talkers and bloggers who appear to be driving the post-Bush crazy train have opened up the conservative tent to some pretty unsavory and dangerous characters.
Should it come to pass that conspiracy theory conservatism wins out once and for all over Goldwater conservatism, the Republican Party will be doomed, broken, kaput.
The right may appear to be crazy -- and they are -- but this doesn't mean it isn't going to work. Let me explain. In another life I was involved in direct mail -- I learned a lot.
Palin will throw mud with impunity, then in the tradition of Agnew, Dole and Quayle yell "double standard" and "bias reporting" when she is called on it.
Would some on the American far-right -- who've had it psychically drilled into them that liberals are to blame for all their ills -- be capable of murder?

(LEXINGTON, Ky.) — Sophomore running back Matt Jones rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries as No. 20 Florida (3-1, 2-0 SEC) took care of Kentucky (1-3, 0-1 SEC) on Saturday night, 24-7. It's the Gators 27th consecutive victory over the Wildcats.
Jones put Florida on the board first at 7:17 in the opening quarter with a two-yard score. Kentucky would answer late in the first quarter thanks to a fake field goal, which resulted in a 25-yard touchdown run from senior kicker Joe Mansour.
The Gators would go on to score 17 unanswered points, including two touchdowns by junior quarterback Tyler Murphy.

Shel Israel and Rick Segal in Cork
Shel Israel and Rick Segal joined members of the Cork blogging and business communities for dinner in Taste of Thailand last night.
They spent the day talking to business people so I'm sure the dinner was a welcome end to the day. Pat ordered one of the banquet selections and we tucked into what I think was four courses of delicious food. I wish I knew that much food was coming out because I could barely eat my breakfast this morning I was so stuffed!
Dinner was excellent of course, and I can heartily recommend Taste of Thailand if you're looking for a nice meal in Cork.
Tom has posted a picture and some words about the dinner last night too and reminded me that Pat should be thanked for organising it. Thanks!
Will has a write up on the night too. I must take a look at that MusicIP app Rick was going on about. He said it works in Linux too so it could be a useful experiment. I wonder what it'll make of my varied collection of music?

Good food and good company…sounds like the way to spend an evening. I really like the relaxed mood of everyone in the photos, great captures!

Cork seems like the place to be. I enjoy the genuineness of these photos.

Thanks for commenting! It was a really great evening and I'm very happy with those photos. Some of my wide angle shots just didn't look good but luckily I had the zoom with me too!

Huawei is known to most as a budget brand, but over the last year it has been quickly moving up gears. The Huawei Ascend D2 is a sympton of this move – it's a high-spec phone with features that should, in theory at least, worry Samsung and co. We got a closer look at the phone to see if it's worth getting excited about.
Huawei claims the Ascend D2 is the sort of phone that will stop you needing to take a laptop with you much of the time. It offers a large 5-inch screen, a powerful quad-core 1.5GHz processor and an impressive-sounding 13-megapixel camera.
In-hand, the Huawei Ascend D2 doesn't immediately scream quality, though. Like the Samsung Galaxy S3, the phone has a plastic rear that comes to define the feel of the phone.
However, ergonomically it is sound, with a lightly curved rear that softens the D2's shape, and the sides of the phone are metal rather than plastic. This should give the phone a higher-end feel than an entirely plastic phone, but in the warm environs of CES 2013 where the Huawei Ascend D2 was launched, the benefits of metal weren't too apparent.
As it uses a non-removable battery cover, it avoids some of the creaky potential of poorly implements sheets of plastic. It's a solid-feeling phone. What it arguably lacks, though, is much of a design personality.
The Huawei Ascend D2 is mostly screen, with no soft keys and no notable design accents. Even the camera lens and single-LED flash on the rear – often used to give phones a little personality – are entirely innocuous.
Huawei has often produced phones that are popular among geeky enthusiasts, their low prices attracting crowds of hackers looking to further boost what they can do for so little money. These fans may be less than impressed to hear that the Huawei Ascend D2 does not offer expandable memory, although the internal memory is a fairly generous 32GB. In attempting to class up their act with hints of Apple and Samsung phone flavour, a few followers may end up feeling alienated.
The Huawei Ascend D2 keeps its hardware design pure and simple, minimising the number of ports and buttons used. Even the microSIM slot sits under an Apple-like metal panel. The side benefit of this design methodology is that the phone is nearly water and dustproof. It's certified to withstand sprays of water and dust, and Huawei's Richard Yu claims it can survive being dunked in water. There are no rubber seals, as you'd find in a fully-fledged tough phone, though.
Although there are some flexibility trade-offs here, the core specs of the phone are hard to find fault with. Huawei claims the D2 is the "most powerful smartphone", and while we'll wait for the benchmarks to see if it's true, general performance is excellent. The Huawei Ascend D2 has a quad-core 1.5GHz processor backed-up by 2GB of RAM. Although sure to be superseded soon, it's at the top of its game.
We noticed no significant lag in operation, in spite of the phone's use of a custom user interface that Huawei calls the Emotion UI.
Seems like an ok phone but still not impressed and the design is horrible. Literally looks like a brick. Everybody can't make a large screen phone but to each their own. Everybody deserves a chance after all a anything is better then apple! Sent from my Galaxy NoteII
This phone is specced very good, but there are flaws in design and software. I'd rather take a Xperia ZL, for the design alone. I also think Sony's software overlay is better, and it doesn't modifiy the way android works in any meaningful way. Huawei can be successful tough, they just need to offer a good price and market it well.
