At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

An expert will come along soon with the answers to your questions, but I'd just like to congratulate you on a great looking gun. There's nothing new like that out there anymore.
My Father sent me a Colt Official Police .38 pistol. I'm researching it's age and any other info on it.
The s/n is 612450, and there are the letters "L" (above the s/n), and "R" (below the s/n). (See photos)
Can anyone tell me the mfg year of this pistol and what the letters L and R may stand for?
Also, what may a pistol like this be worth now-a-days? (This is definately a keeper though)
This is a sweet revolver. I can't wait to clean it up and shoot it. (I'm gunna feel like Eliot Ness.)
Thank you in advance.

What a lead in. Welcome to the forum. Your gun dates to 1937. In the future you can find that information through this thread: For DOB ( Date of Birth) Questions , Please Look. In general, single letters, digits and symbols over, under and around the serial number are inspection stamps. There is however lore about the letters L and T above the serials in many guns of that era. The T supposedly signified that the final barrel and thus front sight position was determined by Targeting or shooting the gun and then adjusting. The L signified that the sight was Lined up by eye. I'll bet it shoots fine in any case.
My OP 1941 build carries the letter L above the serial on the frame. It shoots to the sights and is one of the most accurate revolvers I have ever owned. They knew in them old days how to regulate the fixed sights. Dont know how they did it, but it works. All praise to the Colt smiths of the day. Yours in the condition she appears should be no different with a little load experimentation.
Nice gun.
Sweet! Would bring $400 retail on a good day! More if you have the box.

The botanist's profession encompasses the procurement of resources from all forms of plant life. This includes harvesting various vegetables and grains, tending to fruit-bearing trees, gathering wild grasses, cultivating fibrous plants for use in textiles, cutting lumber to supply the carpentry trade, and more.
This wide range of raw materials draws the custom of various other guilds, notably the Carpenters', Weavers', Alchemists', and Culinarians'. Botanists also attempt to educate others about the importance of achieving a symbiotic relationship with Eorzea's plants, rather than carelessly stripping them of their useful parts. This is perhaps best exemplified by the revolutionary irrigation methods devised by Gridania, which first made low-impact, high-yield crop propagation possible.

You cannot install a *.img with Mapinstall to an other unit I guess. Mapinstall will read gmap or old MS maps. Basecamp can read them, thats all. Just use explorer (or other Program) to copy the map to Your device.
In Your case there are probably no other (unlocked) maps on the PC, with that message from Mapinstall ?
Did You want some maptiles for only Belux ? , the PC version is on this forum which You can use with Mapinstall.

I think, when You select a part (selection of maptiles) of Belgium and the Netherlands from this Topomaps, You get a file of 150-200 MB or >. And Your Dakota is not suitable for Topo Pro/Activerouting maps.
Alternative You can choose a selection of a map from openstreetmap.org. Good quality of data for BeNeLux .
Just go toorSpoiler: Garmin openstreetmapgarmin.openstreetmap.nl(Maybe choose Benelux Light version)Spoiler: Openfietsmapwww.openfietsmap.nl
There are also instructions on the Internet for making an own map for a Etrex10 (less space, also suitable for Dakota 10) on the Internet, see for an example:orSpoiler: Etrex10mapshttps://sites.google.com/site/etrex10maps/Spoiler: Maroufi Etrex10http://gps.maroufi.net/etrex10map.shtml

My Tusken Raider, I still need to dirty the robes.
My Tusken Raider, I still need to dirty the robes.
Nice Tuskin mate. We have a few here in Oz. There is currently a female Tuskin being built, not bad from what I've seen too!
I'll try and post some pics.
Great, lookin forward to them
look realy good. Some dirt will help. LOL
Any good at doing the Tusken scream?
looks cool , i can see you're eye's , need to install coloured lenes or black mesh
I have a Tusken as one of my other costumes and yours looks great.
However, your right the robes do need some dirt on them. Also is that a Godzilla version lid your wearing or is it something else?
As for the eyes, I'd use mesh personally. It lets the air in so it can circulate around your lid and with lenses they become fogged up very quickly.
Looks great!!! might I suggest a belt, though; the robes look a bit baggy...
Very nice work mate!
i do nylon inside my eyes and mouth... blurs vision a bit, but you can't see in at all. i just cut up some stockings and glued the material in.
i think it could also do with a belt / sash / something 'round the waist. not sure if they all have that, but most do.
overall it's looking awesome! makes me want to get out and troop in mine again!
That is some really nice work! keep it up!
Hey man, some guy named Anakin was looking for you the other day. Something about his mom??? GREAT rig, man! Now go roll in a nice pile of dirt!
Very nice....any write up on the build or anything?
Just thought I'd throw a pic of my tusken. Still needs work.

Movies, books, and songs to capture the essence of Stockholm and get you in the mood for travel
Mannen På Taket (1976)
A sniper picks off people from a rooftop in Vasastan. Bo Widerberg's controversial filming of the Sjöwall/Wahlöö book includes a spectacular (for its time) helicopter crash at Odenplan and more violence than Swedes had ever seen.
Sommaren Med Monika (1953)
Ingmar Bergman directed the filming of Per Anders Fogelström's novel mostly in the gorgeous Stockholm archipelago. Harriet Andersson titilated, helping pave the way for Bergman's rise to stardom.
Barnens Ö (1980)
Young Reine tells his mother he's going to camp but really stays in town to discover Stockholm. Directed by Kay Pollack. Based on the novel by P.C. Jersild.
The Prize (1963)
Not the most memorable Paul Newman movie, but the only one set in Stockholm. He comes to town to pick up the Nobel Prize for Literature when strange things start happening.
Sökarna (1993)
"The Seekers" are disillusioned youngsters who roam Stockholm knee-deep in drugs, crime, violence, and death. A modern dystopic classic.
The Bomber, by Liza Marklund (1998)
A female reporter hero investigates Olympic venue bombing while balancing family life and office squabbles in present-day Stockholm.
The Red Chamber, by August Strindberg (1879)
The title of this classic refers to a room at the Berns Hotel, which served as a literary hangout in the late 19th century.
The Laughing Policeman, by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö (1967)
1973 film starring Walter Matthau was set in San Francisco, but the original book features some great scenes from 1960s Stockholm.
Karlsson-on-the-Roof, by Astrid Lindgren (1955)
Since he has a propeller on his back that allows him to fly, Karlsson gives better aerial views of Stockholm than anybody. For kids and grownups alike.
Jack, by Ulf Lundell (1976)
Sweden's artist/poet/author bad boy debuted with this half-party, half-melancholy trip in early-1970s Stockholm.
Snabba Cash, by Jens Lapidus (2006)
The dark underbelly of the city, centered on dingy suburbs and the entertainment district around Stureplan, is exposed by lawyer-author Jens Lapidus. Swedish only.
... Och Stora Havet, by Jakob Hellman (1989)
Jakob Hellman's debut was famously voted Sweden's "best album ever" in 2003. Achingly beautiful "Vintern dör" and the lyrics of "Hon har ett sätt" and "Tårarna" have made the album a modern classic.
Arrival, by Abba (1976)
Swedish pop sensation Abba was never better than in 1976. Remember "Dancing Queen," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Money, Money, Money," and "When I Kissed the Teacher"? They're all here.
Downtown, by Ulf Lundell (1982)
"Öppna landskap," Ulf Lundell's ode to nature, was seriously proposed as Sweden's new national anthem when it hit radios in 1982. It made him a local superstar. Also noteworthy for title track and "När jag kysser havet."
Välkommen till Förorten, by The Latin Kings (1994)
The Latin Kings brought dirty suburban hip-hop to Sweden big-time with their debut album "Welcome to the Projects" from 1994. Yes, the lyrics are somewhat vulgar, but not by U.S. standards.
Flygande Holländaren, by various artists (1987)
An homage to Dutchman Cornelis Vreeswijk who became the unlikely darling and bad boy of Swedish folklore. The elite of Swedish music life came out for this massive personal tribute after he passed away in 1987.
Gyllene Tider, by Gyllene Tider (1980)
Per Gessle of Roxette is more loved in Sweden as the frontman of GT. This debut album from contains gems like "Flickorna på TV2" and "Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly."
The Final Countdown, by Europe (1986)
The lead track from Europe's third album became a worldwide hit from these guys from Upplands Väsby north of Stockholm. The group gave the poodle perm a manly face in Sweden.
Vila Vid Denna Källa, by Fred Åkerström (1977)
Carl Michael Bellman is by far the most beloved of Swedish singer/songwriters. Most Swedes know at least something from him by heart, but nobody—except maybe Vreeswijk—sings his tunes like Fred Åkerströmon.
Främling, by Carola Häggkvist (1983)
Carola Häggkvist has been a star since she won the Swedish Eurovision Contest in 1983, at the tender age of 16. This debut album remains the top-seller in Swedish-music history.
Kingwood, by Millencolin (2005)
Skate punk from Örebro by the furious members of Millencolin, one of Sweden's least known music exports. Enough energy to blow your socks off. Lyrics are in English.

Location, Location, Location
Whether the money is flowing or being cut, one constant of public higher education discussions is the question of who is getting more money from the state -- and why. Presidents, trustees and alumni debate the equity of funding formulas, and plot strategies so that their institutions might also be favored by those who control the purse-strings.
Two new studies suggest that strategy may go only so far and that, in some respects, public universities are like real estate: They benefit from location, location, location. The best locations may be in states led by Democrats (and with other political conditions) and in cities in or near statehouses. The studies don't contest the way research universities receive more per student than do other kinds of institutions, although they suggest that in states with a flagship and multiple research universities, flagship status may be less important than believed, and that research universities tend to be favored.
The emphasis of the papers is on qualities -- beyond being a research university -- that explain patterns in which some institutions end up doing better than others (or less worse than others), factoring in their missions.
One study, which will appear shortly in The Journal of Higher Education, looks at 20 years of data on state appropriations for higher education and a variety of political conditions. Over the two decades studied (a time period in which many Republicans embraced higher education as a tool for state economic development), the researchers found that Republican legislative strength, Republican governors and the relative strength of governors were associated with lower levels of state spending on colleges.
In contrast, states were more likely to spend more on higher education if they had more lobbyists representing higher education and professionalized legislatures.
A new article in the Journal of Education Finance also takes a comparative approach, matching state appropriations with other factors. This analysis found as well that Democrats spend more on higher education than do Republicans. But this piece stressed the importance of location within a state. Campuses close to statehouses have an edge over other campuses, as do those with more alumni in key positions in state government. In terms of functions performed, research and graduate education are favored, but the location still factors in.
One might read the papers and think that location is so important that there's not much for a college to do if it is not a research university and is located far from state legislative activity.
But Michael K. McLendon, associate professor of public policy and higher education at Vanderbilt University, and an author on the teams that did both studies, said that's only part of the equation. (The other authors are Christine Mokher of CNA Corporation for both papers; William Doyle of Vanderbilt for the Journal of Education Finance article; and James Hearn of the University of Georgia for the Journal of Higher Education article.)
"Some of our findings do point to state contextual factors over which institutions may have little direct control," McLendon said. But he added that "overall our research suggests that institutions may have quite a lot of control over their fates." He noted, for instance, that there are clear relationships between university lobbying activity and appropriations outcomes. Spending on government relations, he said, may well "pay off."
In terms of the preference for research universities over other institutions, McLendon said that while the papers did not address the wisdom of such a view, he personally saw the value in support for science and research, but also had some reservations.
He said that the problem is one of "mission creep," as research is stressed more at "primarily teaching institutions," which may be more valuable to states because they graduate teachers and nurses. "States need to do a better job of defining, rewarding, and enforcing fidelity-to-mission by public four-year universities," he said.

Permanent galleries within the museum will be devoted to such themes as exploration and discovery; slavery and working conditions; immigration and emigration; and the development of the Commonwealth. Outside organisations and Commonwealth countries will also be invited to stage individual exhibitions.
The station buildings in Bristol were chosen for the purpose because of their significance in the development of the empire. Brunel saw the railway line from London to Bristol as the first step on the route across the Atlantic. His Passenger Shed was the largest single-span wooden building of the age when the station was opened in 1840 by the Great Western Railway. The second half of the 19th century saw 8.5 million people leave Britain for North America, a large proportion of them via Bristol.
Repairs to the building are expected to be complete by the end of this year, and the first phase of the museum is scheduled to open in winter 1995. For further information, contact: The Empire and Commonwealth Museum Trust, Clock Tower Yard, Temple Meads, Bristol BS1 6QH, telephone 0272 254980.

"Not sure how. I'm an Apple girl," tweeted one user who received the badge.
"How did I do this with a Blackberry?," tweeted another.
Others resorted to a simple "why?" or, more bluntly, "wtf?"
The confusion stems from a promotional badge gone wrong. Designed for users who check into a Windows Phone event or follow "WindowsPhone" on Foursquare, it was instead unlocked with every checkin.
Foursquare has responded to the gaffe by sending this message to recipients of the badge:
"We just wanted to send you a quick note to apologize for mistakenly awarding you the 'I Love Windows Phone' badge earlier today. Who's to say what you love, anyway? If you do love the phone, you can unlock the badge fair and square by following foursquare.com/windowsphone and attending one of their awesome events. Until then, we'll keep it out of your trophy case and stop meddling with the affairs of your heart."
Foursquare has hosted promotional badges for everything from universities to the Jersey Shore - as far as we can remember, without mishap.
"We quickly fixed the problem, removed the badge from the trophy cases of everyone that had mistakenly unlocked it, and sent all of them a note apologizing and explaining what had happened," a Foursquare spokesperson tells Mashable.

Puerto Rico phone strike to end
Union officials at the Puerto Rico telephone company say they have reached an agreement to end their thirty-seven day-long strike over plans to sell the company to a United States firm.
Officials say the terms of the deal will not be made public until they are submitted to union members on Tuesday.
The strikers said that the ownership of the telephone company was an issue of national identity.

Wow! I'm glad this is working well for almost everyone who tries it. I would like to mention that I was getting frustrated with this for a while. I was using Kiss My Face gel and conditioner the last few times. It didn't dissolve well in the hot hot water and my hair was frizzy with no hold or curl. I made it up again last night with Tresemme gel and vo5 conditioner and the original results are back. So it truly does depend on what kind of gel/conditioner you use. I don't think it has to be these 2 particular items, but some (like the KMF) simply do not work well.

Commuters in south London have less than a month to save a vital train link that crosses the capital, campaigners have warned.
The Department for Transport is considering axing the "Wimbledon Loop" Thameslink service which connects Sutton, Wimbledon, Streatham, Tooting, Mitcham and South Merton to Luton and St Albans through central and north London, calling at key stops such as Farringdon and St Pancras.
If the plan goes ahead, trains will terminate at Blackfriars from 2018, meaning that commuters will have to change trains to continue their journeys via Farringdon or St Pancras and to connect with other services such as the Eurostar and City Thameslink.
The plans are part of the Thameslink programme centred on Blackfriars, and opponents of the scheme say that the convenience of outer London residents is being sacrificed by Network Rail so that money can be spent on upgrading services outside the capital.
Campaigners urged passengers to protest against the plans before the consultation period ends next month. They have already staged a day of action, demonstrating how the proposals would not only add to journey times but also increase problems for passengers with pushchairs, luggage or mobility problems.
They have also printed thousands of leaflets warning local residents in Wimbledon, Sutton, Streatham and Tulse Hill that the service will be scrapped unless they make their views known.
Councillor Jill Whitehead, chairman of Sutton council's environment and neighbourhoods committee, said: "People across the borough rely on this service and we are determined to do everything we can to save it.
"It is appalling that at a time when we should be improving public transport, there is a proposal to cut a vital link between north and south London."
The Department for Transport said it could not comment while the consultation was still taking place.
The consultation period ends on August 23.

Flank Steak with Couscous RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1
It takes just minutes to broil this nicely seasoned flank steak that's served with made-in-minutes couscous. Slicing the meat on an angle across the grain produces the most tender results. If you prefer, a pound of sirloin steak can be used instead of the flank steak in this recipe.
Recommended: 52 Date Night Dinners
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
- 2 packages (5.8 ounces each) roasted garlic and olive oil couscous
- 3/4 cup diced roasted sweet red peppers, drained
- 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
- In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub over flank steak. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
- Meanwhile, cook couscous according to package directions. Stir in roasted peppers. Thinly slice steak across the grain; drizzle with Italian dressing. Serve with couscous. Yield: 4 servings.

MLB: Harvey will hold off on surgery
NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Harvey will try to rehab his injured right elbow without reconstructive surgery, a move the young ace hopes is going to keep him on the mound for the New York Mets next season.
Tommy John surgery remains a possibility. Harvey will soon begin a strengthening and throwing program designed to last as long as six to eight weeks. If he feels pain or other symptoms that hinder his pitching, he likely will need the operation — which probably would sideline him for 2014.
• SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds was ordered to meet with U.S. Probation Department officials to discuss terms of his 30-day house arrest.
A federal judge ordered Bonds to meet with the officials to work out the details of his sentence after he lost his appeal of his felony obstruction of justice conviction. The order was dated Monday and made public Tuesday.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Is Poison the Well a surprise pick by any means? No, but it's time to give credit where credit is long overdue. And while Miami usually claims this band (frontman Jeffrey Moreira reps Hialeah, hard), the rest of the members hail from towns across Broward and Palm Beach counties. Poison the Well sprang from the same fabled anything-goes, late-'90s South Florida hardcore/punk scene as fellow success stories Shai Hulud and New Found Glory. PTW has reached the same cult level of underground/overground success (even releasing one disc on a major, Atlantic). But unlike its peers, the band never switched its original home base. No, Poison the Well deserves props for touring the world relentlessly, playing to frothing American and European crowds of thousands, and then returning home to joltingly sunny South Florida. What's more, PTW puts the same level of balls-to-the-wall energy into its decidedly more intimate hometown gigs, playing for scarily rabid longtime fans at places like Churchill's Pub. Further, the band has continued a path of out-there musical innovation, melding its hardcore roots into spaced-out, experimental workouts that work just as well on a home stereo as at a show. The band's latest album, The Tropic Rot, was released digitally last month through Ferret Music. The physical release is this summer, and it comes an impressive ten years after the group's debut full-length, The Opposite of December. Happy anniversary, guys.
"Slice Paper Wrists" by Poison the Well:
Wrecks was last season's hardest-to-watch play, dealing with weakness, loneliness, desperation, and dysfunction in such a personal way that audiences actually left embarrassed — like they'd unwittingly paid to be peeping Toms for a night. With Wrecks gone from our stages and unlikely to reappear any time soon, it's probably safe to explain that its central conceit is the interior monologue of a widower at his wife's funeral. As the widower and play's sole actor, Gordon McConnell reveals that the deceased was much older, that his thing for older women stems from having been given up by his birth mother as a baby, and that his dead wife and long-lost mother are in fact the same person. McConnell's a brilliant actor and a grizzled vet of stage shows of every kind. Here, he ambled back and forth across the stage, spoke softly, allowed his sentences to wander aimlessly and trail off into silence, and generally behaved as though no one was watching. He was as distraught, scatterbrained, and introverted as any real-life mourner. He had clearly found some way to sympathize with his character's complex complexes and, in doing so in such an unshowbizzy way, forced the rest of us — folks who are usually turned off by the thought of marrying our mums — to do likewise.
Eugene Ionesco's plays are fantastical imaginative flights with no stable anchors in the real world. His characters often speak nonsense words, swing from states of extreme agitation to euphoria with no obvious catalyst, and find themselves in unlikely or impossible situations. It takes a good actor to connect this stuff to an audience in any way beyond the abstractly cerebral, and Barbara Bradshaw is very, very good. In The Chairs, she played one-half of an elderly couple (the other half was played by the excellent Dan Leonard) scurrying to set up chairs for a party taking place, either literally or figuratively, at the end of the world. At the party's climax, her husband intended to reveal the meaning of life. Of course, he didn't know the meaning of life (or anything else), as Bradshaw surely understood. No matter: This is a play about, among other things, the pitiable nature of the male ego and the way a woman coddles, boosts, and ultimately devours it in a cannibalistic orgy of mother love. Bradshaw got it just right. Her wide eyes and beatifically smiling face appraised her spouse like he was some combination of kitten, baby, and dinner, but she never showed her cards. From the beginning of the play to its crazy, apocalyptic end, she exuded a kindness so warm, thick, and impenetrable that only later, after leaving the play, might one realize how close it came to suffocating all present.
It has been a good year for South Florida's quirky local indie darling Rachel Goodrich, what with a glowing shoutout from the New York Times this past December and her official debut appearance at SXSW this past spring. It was all well-deserved and timed with the October 2008 release of her debut full-length, Tinker Toys. Like the playthings from which it cribs its name, the album is sophisticated in its simplicity and a whole lot of fun. A real lover of whimsy, Goodrich usually eschews the typical singer/songwriter guitar in favor of a wider swath of instruments, applying liberal doses of harmonica, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, xylophone, and even kazoo. She toys with her voice as well, shifting from a breathy whisper to an almost bluesy sigh, sort of like Billie Holiday gone twee-pop (just try to imagine it). Rather than being insufferably charming, though, the result is mentally indelible. For all her faux-naif trappings, Goodrich is an astonishingly mature crafter of melody, able to cinch clever wordplay and slightly hippied-out narrative into a recognizable pop structure. Occupying a rare creative space between the experimental stylings of acts like CocoRosie and the polish of VH1 faves like Sara Bareilles, Goodrich should soon rightfully take her place as South Florida's Next Big Thing.
Rachel Goodrich at WLRN:
Like Santa Claus, the Third Avenue Art District Artwalk comes but once a year. And although there are no chimneys involved, there are gifts — if you consider it a gift to visit the studios of local artists and get wined and dined along the way. This year, the evening threw in a free visit to the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale to see two knockout exhibitions ("Pablo Picasso Ceramics/Carlos Luna Paintings" and "Coming of Age: American Art 1850s-1950s"), a cool after-party at the Girls' Club Gallery, and trolley transportation to and from all of the above. The event has been going on since 1996 and has grown to include nine studios: those of Tobey Archer (mixed media), Madeline Denaro (painting), Janet Gold (collage), Francie Bishop Good (photography), Tin Ly (metal sculpture), Margi Glavovic Nothard (architecture), Rosanna Saccoccio (printmaking and collage), Mary Lou Siefker (painting), and Wilma Bulkin Siegel (painting). There's not a stinker in the bunch, and this year, several of the artists presented some of their most exciting work in ages.
Unfettered by the demands of the commercial marketplace, the privately supported Art and Culture Center has taken that freedom and run with it, charting a course that sometimes appears to be fearless. Where else, for instance, would you find something as esoteric as "Exploding the Lotus"? That multimedia show displayed the work of nearly two dozen artists from the Indian subcontinent with a strong emphasis on the conceptual. Or how about "Nathan Sawaya: The Art of the Brick," an exhibition of art made exclusively with Lego parts? And we're still scratching our heads over the quirkiness of the recent "TM Sisters: Idealtonight." Under such adventurous previous curators as Laurence Pamer and Samantha Salzinger, the center has long challenged established norms, preferring edge over ease. Current curator Jane Hart has pushed things even further, especially with the Project Room, which presents small shows of the sort you'd be unlikely to find anywhere else in the area.

Gold Fields retains 2011 target after profit leap
Gold Fields (GFIJ.J), the world's fourth-largest gold producer, reported a 15 percent rise in quarterly profit that was just short of expectations as investors expected blockbuster growth from the surge in bullion.
Shares of Gold Fields rose more than 2 percent in early Johannesburg trade, however, as part of an industry-wide advance after bullion climbed to a record $1,813.79 an ounce.
The company stuck to its full-year production target of 3.5 to 3.7 million ounces, one that analysts said would be tough to meet, given safety-related stoppages and the impact of a strike in South Africa.
"They should just be able to make that target. There are fewer holidays in South Africa over the last half of the year," said David Davis, analyst with SBG Securities in Johannesburg.
Gold Fields will also add about 45,000 ounces a quarter to its overall output after raising its stakes in the Tarkwa and Damang gold mines in Ghana, he said.
Safety remains a serious concern. The company said it had seven fatalities at its South Africa operations and one fatality at Tarkwa during the quarter.
South Africa's mines are the deepest and among the most dangerous in the world, and authorities typically shut operations for a few days after a fatality.
Analysts had expected strong results from Gold Fields, as the average gold price was up about 9 percent to $1,509 an ounce during the quarter, and the miner had said output would rise in the April-June period.
Adjusted earnings per share totaled 184 cents in April-June, versus a Reuters estimate of 189 cents, and up 15 percent from the 160 cents it posted in the previous quarter.
SBG's Davis said earnings should also be lifted in the third quarter, given the current performance of the gold price.
The precious metal has risen 20 percent since the end of June, as investors seek a safe haven from stock market volatility and European and U.S. debt woes.
Rising costs are also a concern for the miner. Gold Fields said its total cash cost for the year would likely be $790 per ounce (178,000 rand per kilogram), sharply higher than the $760 per ounce that it estimated in February.
Gold Fields said it was hit by higher power costs in South Africa and West Africa, as well as higher-than-expected wage costs and increased royalties at all of its operations.
As expected, its output in April-June was up five percent to around 872,000 ounces.
South African gold companies typically post higher output in this period as the first three months of the year are affected by a slow restart following the Christmas holidays.
Gold Field shares were up 1.9 percent at 114.68 rand at 4 a.m. EDT, having earlier risen as much as 3 percent.
Shares of Gold Fields are down about 6 percent this year, making them the second-worst performer among the five stocks tracked by South Africa's index of gold miners .JGLDX.

SAN FRANCISCO--Sun Microsystems Chief Technology Officer Greg Papadopoulos faced familiar skepticism Wednesday about the profit margins of Sun's business--but this time it was from Bill Coleman, a former Sun executive and business partner who now is chief executive and co-founder of Cassatt.
Coleman oversaw Sun's move from its SunOS operating system to its current Solaris product in the early 1990s, then founded BEA Systems, which sells software to let servers run Java programs. Now he's in charge of Cassatt, which sells software designed to automatically move programs among a group of servers so data centers work smoothly and efficiently.
But in a question at the Vortex conference here, Coleman challenged Sun's business. Customers like Solaris, but the company has become only a tactical supplier of servers instead of a strategic supplier, Coleman said. And profit margins are dropping in the server realm as they have in the PC realm.
"I'm concerned you're going to go the way of SGI," Coleman said of Sun, referring to Silicon Graphics, which specialized in high-end machines but whose business has steadily declined in recent years. How will Sun survive in a business with 20 percent profit margins--by increasing sales volumes dramatically or cutting distribution and development expenses?
Papadopoulos strongly objected to Coleman's assumption.
"I disagree with the leap that it's a 20 percent business. It's not that," Papadopoulos said. There are plenty of things customers spend money on besides just basic hardware and software.
"You started a company that is going after complexity. There are a lot of rewards to getting over solving that problem," Papadopoulos responded to Coleman. "At the basic level we should be collectivly embarrassed about how bad it is in computing--from the complexity of the operational side to how much power we waste. There is $2.5 trillion spent in information communication technology, and only a few hundred billion is in hardware and software space. There's a tremendous prize to be awarded."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
For anyone hoping to garnish some good will in a sports nation that has all but fallen in love with hating us, you can forget it. Between Marc Savard "biting" Dan Carcillo during a post-whistle scuffle in Game 2 of the Bruins-Flyers series, and Danny Ainge tossing a towel in the air to distract Cleveland Cavalier JJ Hickson during a free throw on Monday night (the NBA thought Ainge's actions were dirty enough to slap him with a $25,000 fine), sports fans living outside of New England have two more reasons to despise any team that wears the word "Boston" on their uniform.
The Boston-haters (which is pretty much everyone who doesn't get NESN and CSNNE on their basic cable packages) already had a long list of grievances against us. We're arrogant. We're entitled. We buy our championships. We have an insufferable inferiority complex. And the latest page in their dossier of malevolence—we're dirty cheaters.
For those who may have been ignoring stories that don't have a goddamn thing to do with the actual games being played, I'll quickly summarize these two egregious actions by our local sports' celebrities.
First, Dan Carcillo, a Flyers right-winger who moonlights as an extra on MSNBC's To Catch A Predator, accused Savard of biting his finger while the two engaged in some extracurricular horseplay following what (even Savard admitted) was a late slash at the glove of Philly goalie Brian Boucher.
Did Savard bite Carcillo? I don't know. Maybe he did. Savard did get suspended for a game back in '03 for biting Darcy Tucker, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Then again, Carcillo is a goon and the type of guy who'd watch Cool Runnings with you, then cheer when the Jamaicans crash at the end, just to piss you off.
Then we have Danny Ainge, the Celtics GM who felt like tossing a towel about 12 feet into the air. Done in the privacy of one's own home, this behavior, while kind of queer, isn't too big of a deal. But when someone does it for the distinct purpose of distracting an opposing player during a playoff game free throw, they come across as kind of a tool.
Is what Ainge did weak? Yeah, probably. Even he later admitted it was wrong, that he regretted it and said what he did was "unprofessional." However, Hickson did make the free throw anyway, and even if he didn't, the Cavs still got spanked by almost 20 points on their home floor. So I hardly think that such antics (though a little sophomoric for an executive of the Association's most storied franchise) are quite that serious.
Did these two incidents make us look as if the water around here isn't the only thing that's dirty?
Well, they surely weren't some of our finest moments.
Yet here's the big question—do I (or should you) really care?
Nope. We shouldn't care one bit.
Not because of some old clichés like "The ends justify the means" or "Nice guys finish last" or "If you're not caught it's not cheating" or "Whatever, we got championships and you don't."
Not because every team in every major sport has some incident of poor sportsmanship or cheating in their past.
Not because these two events had absolutely no bearing on the final outcome of the games in which they happened.
No, I don't care (nor should you) because these two incidents are tantamount to a quarrel between a couple of 2nd graders during recess.
"He threw a towel in the air!"
"He tried to bite me!"
Seriously? That's what makes us dirty cheaters? Look, on a cheating/dirty play scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being stealing money from the bank in Monopoly and with 10 being taping your opponents signals or having the two star players in your World Series Championship teams exposed as PED users, these two incidents rank at about a -1, right below Big Baby hitting the game winning shot then bumping into a fat kid on the sidelines in Orlando during last year's playoffs.
We've all seen and experienced a 10 on the cheating scale. We went through Spygate. We had to face the reality that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, two guys who brought us long awaited World Series rings, and probably did so under dubious means.
Those I cared about. Those were crushing to me. I had to be subjected to taunts from non-Boston fans about how we cheated. How we played dirty. And I couldn't say anything in return, because they were right. It kind of tainted some of the most wonderful memories I've ever had, or ever will have—my future wedding and children's birth included.
When you've had to come to grips with such soul crushing incidents of foul play, it's hard to get all bent out of shape about something as trivial like "Towel Toss 2010" or "Bitegate." That would be like asking a lion tamer if he worries about getting scratched by an ornery house cat.
So when Philly or Cleveland or any other fan that loves to loathe us points at the transgressions of this past week and says, "Cheaters. You 'Bahstahn' boys are nothing but a bunch of dirty, foul playing, rule bending cheaters!"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Al-Karkh)
Karkh or Al-Karkh (Arabic: الكرخ) is historically the name of the western half of Baghdad, Iraq, or alternatively, the western shore of the Tigris River as it ran through Baghdad. The eastern shore is known as Al-Rasafa.[1] Its name is derived from the Syriac (ܟܪܟܐ) Karkha; citadel.
In a more limited sense Karkh is one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad, with Mansour district to the west, Kadhimiya district to the northwest, and the Tigris to the north, east and south. The Green Zone (International Zone) is in this district.
Today, it is also a neighborhood between the International Zone and the Tigris.

$299 for Four VelaShape Treatments ($800 Value)
During each FDA-cleared VelaShape Treatment, elōs technology is used to target fatty tissues within problem areas such as the thighs and buttocks. A vacuum and tissue-manipulation system helps to even out the skin while breaking down fat cells to reduce the body's circumference and the appearance of cellulite. The treatment results in no downtime and its effects can typically be seen after four sessions (performed at one-week intervals).
Fresh Look Skin Care & Laser Therapy Clinic
The medical aestheticians at Fresh Look Skin Care & Laser Therapy Clinic turn to technology to enhance their repertoire of beauty and skincare treatments. The elōs system emits intense pulsed light and radio-frequency energy, which the staff uses to rejuvenate and tighten clients' skin. Aestheticians use the Trinit skin system to help fade signs of aging. To fight cellulite and slim bodies, the spa's professionals use the VelaShape II system's safe heat. Because of their arsenal of equipment, Fresh Look's technicians can also treat unsightly veins and unwanted hair or play laser tag with the elōs machine after hours.
