How to hide the cistern
Izzy does a terrific job covering up the cistern.
She says, "Ikea has just brought out a new range of bathroom furniture and I wanted to do a back to wall toilet with concealed cistern to match. The pictures show how to get the cistern and toilet waste to run through the Lillangen cabinet – the remote flush on top will eventually go through a piece of worktop."
10 Responses to How to hide the cistern
How did you attach the front panel without screws showing,
Why did you do this? This toilet will now protrude further into the bathroom than an ordinary toilet would (taking more space)
The toilet was £180 delivered, search ebay under concealed cistern toilet – they're still available. The sink is Ikea and designed to go with the lillangen unit.
It's quite tight for access but I can get to the cistern and water inlet easily through the top and the flexible soil pipe and flush pipe from underneath. You could make the front panel removable but I didn't want to spoil the clean lines by screwing it on from the front though it would maybe hang off a couple of brackets at the back.
Thanks for the comments
im loving it
i like this design
How easily can the toilet be accessed for maintenance?
That looks really nice, modern.
Wow I would have never have thought of doing that, it looks great. Good idea!
Can we get more info on the fixtures? I love that sink, and I have never seen a toilet like that before.

Rep. Beto O' Rourke (TX-16) announced that language from H.R. 1265, a bill he introduced earlier this week to reinstate funding for the military tuition assistance programs affected by sequestration, was included in H. Con Res. 25 and passed in Congress today.
"With today's vote, Congress did the right thing and restored funding to a program that thousands of men and women in uniform across the country rely on to receive a quality education," said Rep. O'Rourke. "I represent Fort Bliss and the 36,000 Service Members who currently serve there. As they make their return from Iraq and Afghanistan, these men and women rely on tuition assistance programs to begin the transition back into civilian life, earn an education and secure good paying-jobs when they leave the Armed Services. "
The passage of the Continuing Resolution will restore funding for tuition assistance programs through the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year.
"I am grateful for the efforts of Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC), whose introduction of similar legislation in the Senate helped put bicameral pressure on Congress to restore funding for these critical programs," said Rep. O'Rourke. "Despite today's achievement, we will continue to work hard to ensure that funding for military tuition assistance is preserved beyond the 2013 fiscal year. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to accomplish this goal."

Konami and Kojima Productions have unveiled the first real-time gameplay footage of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
Studio boss Hideo Kojima confirmed during the game's Penny Arcade Expo panel today that it is a "prologue" to Metal Gear Solid 5. It was shown running once again on PC, but was confirmed to be a current generation console project.
"This is exactly what it should look like on PlayStation and Xbox 360. But we're working on next-gen hardware as well," said Kojima.
Kojima hopes that the game will give players the feeling of the first Metal Gear Solid, thus the name Ground Zeroes.
"One thing I want to make clear is that Ground Zeroes is something I'm making myself," Kojima said, adding that he's putting all of his energy into the title. "I want to make it clear that Snake is back, but I'm also back."
Find the 11-minute demo below. (Note: controller-based gameplay starts 9 minutes in.)
Update 8:00 p.m.: IGN has posted an extended gameplay demo, containing about three minutes of additional footage. Watch it below.

It seems that the revamping of Newsweek online and in print earlier this year couldn't stem the tide of layoffs that have hit magazines across the board this fall.
Yesterday, editor Jon Meacham sent his staff a memo, obtained by Politico, explaining that the magazine had been "compelled by business considerations" to cut about 12 people from the staff. Meacham went on to say he had "no spin to offer," about the news, but added that the redesign has ween well received by readers and the magazine will continue to look for new sources of revenue in order to (presumably) avoid more cuts in the future.
Now we're just left wondering which staffers got pink slips. If you have any info, send us an email or leave a tip in the box on the right.
Update: A tipster tells us that two librarians, including the head of the library, were among those let go at Newsweek.
Read the full memo after the jump
Layoffs At Newsweek –Politico
Earlier: Newsweek.com Brings On Two New Editors, Promotes Five
To the Staff
From Jon Meacham
This has been a tough day for the magazine. Because the economic climate in publishing has become ever more difficult, we have been compelled by business considerations to eliminate about a dozen positions. We are parting company with colleagues who have done much to serve the magazine and its readers. As much as we would like it to be otherwise, market conditions mean that we are going to have to do our work with fewer people.
I have no spin to offer. I will say this, though: our new magazine and website have been well received by readers. The different direction we undertook earlier this year continues to appear promising in terms of building and retaining an engaged audience that we hope will be attractive to advertisers while we, like so many other organizations, seek new sources of revenue in order to fulfill our mission. Our situation is not unique. But we will keep working as hard as we can to find solutions that are.
In the meantime, thanks to you all for the work you have done and will do. To those who are leaving, we will miss you, and we wish you the very best.

National Tourism Day
Wednesday, May 07, 2014
National Tourism Day
When: Always on May 7th
National Tourism Day is a day for municipalities and tourism sites around the country to promote their area or region. Municipalities and entertainment venues big and small, use today to let people know about activities and events in their areas. They will often do so in a big way.
A great way to promote your area is to hold activities and events on this day. Ideally, make it a weekend, or a week-long celebration. Along with advertisements, offering discounts and other promotions will work well.
If you are a tourist venue, use this day to really spread the word on what you are all about. As a tourist, use today in search of a new, exciting, and interesting place to go. And, look for deals that may be offered today. Don't just browse and dream. Book your travel plans today!
Origin of National Tourism Day:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. Most likely, it was a tourist venue or a municipality seeking to promote themselves. The popularity of this day to these parties is self evident.
This is referred to as a "National" day. However, we did not find any congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day.

The "Move Over" awareness campaign comes in the wake of a crash this past weekend that killed a Nashville, TN Metro Officer while he was working an accident on I-65. A tractor trailer struck and killed Officer Michael Petrina, 25, even though drivers had a two-mile notice.
To bring more awareness to each state's "Move Over" law, the Tennessee Highway Patrol just recently launched a massive social media campaign. As a result, law enforcement agencies across the country, including the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, have joined forces in spreading the message through Facebook and Tweets. The outpouring of support has resulted in hundreds of people holding small signs with the hashtag #MoveOver.
To join in the effort, today the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (@NCSHP) tweeted a picture of Gov. Pat McCrory with Col. Bill Grey holding a #MoveOver sign.
Just like Tennessee, North Carolina is not immune to these types of incidents. On August 7, 2013, Trooper A. G. Knight was conducting a traffic on US 64 in Wake County, a practice he had done time and time again. But this day would be like no other day.
As he spoke to the driver on the shoulder of the roadway, he suddenly heard the sound of skidding tires and smelled burning rubber. With 80,000 pounds of metal bearing down on him, he ran for cover out of harm�s way. Thankfully, in this case, everyone walked away without a scratch.
However, not all law enforcement officers have been so lucky. Since 1999, more than 164 U.S. law enforcement officers have been struck and killed by vehicles along America�s highways. Since the Highway Patrol's inception in 1929, six troopers have been struck and killed while conducting a traffic stop.
Originally enacted in 2002, the Move Over law directs motorists to change lanes or slow down when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights on the roadside. In the fall of 2012, the law was revised to include �public service� vehicles. Public services vehicles are described as any vehicle that is being used to assist motorists or law enforcement officers with wrecked or disabled vehicles, or is a vehicle being used to install, maintain or restore utility service, including electric, cable, telephone, communications and gas. These vehicles must display amber lights.
In part, the law states:
Motorists who are driving on a four-lane highway are required to move their vehicle into a lane that is not the lane nearest the parked or standing authorized emergency vehicle or public service vehicle and continue traveling in that lane until safely clear of the authorized emergency vehicle.
Motorists who are traveling on a two-lane highway are required to slow their vehicle, maintaining a safe speed for traffic conditions, and operate the vehicle at a reduced speed and be prepared to stop until completely past the authorized emergency vehicle or public service vehicle.
The penalty for violating the law is a $250 fine plus court costs. Motorists can face misdemeanor charges for causing personal injury or property damage greater than $500 and felony charges for severe injury or death in the immediate area of a stopped emergency vehicle or public service vehicle.
The Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Safety have been working to educate motorists about the Move Over law since its inception. Surprisingly, one study has revealed that over 71 % of the motoring public across the U.S. are unaware of this law.
Throughout the state, numerous signs are erected stating Move Over or Reduce Speed for Stopped Emergency Vehicles. The signs are installed along interstate and U.S. routes to educate and warn motorists but more importantly, save lives.
Identify your photos with #MoveOver and follow the State Highway Patrol on Twitter @ NCSHP.
Please help us spread this very important message.

3/ Since they're covering a lot more chapters you won't see crappy filler material wasted on characters who mean nothing in the manga.
Still it is DEEN..
It is Deen. They didn't add fillers because they needed to have more episodes but because the Director had his own vision of how the story should look like.

Happens in every tread that is about anime which adapts a manga.
Personally I think their opinion is valid. The anime IS horrendous.

Somewhat backwards but I refuse to read a manga before I watch the anime. Where as with English books and movie adaptations i refuse to watch the movie unless I've already read the book.
I think it's because of the translations. I like to watch the animes subtitled because I 'believe' the original voice actors have a better feel for the real story. I can't read manga's in the native kanji so I go to the next most direct source. If the subbers take a few liberties or mistranslate i've listened to enough at this point to catch the occasional nuance they've overlooked.
I think that's why it's a rare dub that is any good at all. The dubbers are almost inevitably speaking English as a second language or know very little (and care less) about the original production. I've heard several fan dubs that are better than their official counterparts which is just sad and pathetic...
Anyway; I don't mind a slow paced story. I read 2-3 500-1000 page books every single week for the pure enjoyment of it all.
Remember the good bits of animation and forget the fillers and useless bits. Which is why I can enjoy naruto, bleach, one piece, fairytale and dragonball... Because I can block out all their fillers (or just skip them entirely... *cough*naruto*cough* Better to just focus on the characters and plot progression.
The first season has shining moments which I will Remember. Rikuo beating his first demon in the forest while in his human form; the first time we saw his demon form drinking saki beneath the sakura tree... The glint from non-existent light sources off the edge of his blade and the first time the minors are introduced to the demon's bar. The willow wisps as he walks through the fog and that catchy snatch of haunting melody. It has excellent background themes when they bother to use them.
I'm looking forward to the second season not because of it's failures... Rather because of it's strengths. So many myth's and legends dredged up from their murky past and exposed to the rest of the world. The histories and personalities of demon's here-to-fore we often see getting destroyed but rarely get to meet...
I enjoy this on the same level as 'book of friends' 'keikan' and that older one with the gun wielding monk and his three demon friends ripping around in their beat up jeep... I think the second season was titled Revolver something... Although not quite as much as enjoyed XXX Alcholic... As it is an exception of sorts as i'm addicted to the thing despite the fact it's a spin off from a series I never actually had the chance to finish...
Regardless i'll bide my time and continue to add to my collection of watches. Undoubtedly the second season will come out eventually; just as I waited about six years for the third season of black lagoon.(i'm still waiting actually, really slow on the releases...) I'm in no rush.

I had had big expectations for this show, but after few episodes I found myself forced to end it.Well, I can understand why people wait for sequel, because Kyoto Arcis undoubtedly better. There's more action, less stupid school kids and new characters that might make it interesting.
I read manga and I cannot say it's awesome. Actually, although I love shounen with demons or superpowers, I force myself to read chapters. There are worse manga, but IMO NnM is just paraphrasing other series, there is nothing new. What you can like in it are characters, and of course only few of them aren't annoying.
Anyway, wasn't too happy about continuation, but on second thought I think that I can watch second season with pleasure as long as Deen doesn't screw it up. Oh, I have to mention: as for me, it's mostly their fault NnM was boring. I require for anime adaptations to be at least as good as manga. And here I see Nurarihyon no Mago as a fail.
Good points: seiyuu, OST didn't sound bad either, characters (in a nutshell: Rikuo's Hyakki Yakou + Yura). But I still can't hide my disappointment.

As for K-ON comments, I don't like that anime either but thats just my taste. Every person has its own taste and taste is not to be discussed. Making fun of STM only because he likes K-ON and doesn't like NnM is kinda immature.
You're a nice guy.

The fact that you're saying the anime is **** without having watching the second season is all I need. First of all, the first season is completely different to the second one, I don't feel like explaining to you what character development is since is probably 2deep for you. I can understand the fact that you didn't like the first one,(hell, I couldn't care less), but you coming here and talking like if you know what's gonna happen in the second one is another thing, you don't read the manga and that's why you shouldn't really criticize a season you haven't even watch.
But I do find funny how you said that this anime sucks when you enjoy things like K-0N! that's all.
You don't need to explain what character development is, I know oh so very well what it is. I enjoy different kinds of anime. My favorite genres are the psychological thrillers and the slice-of-life comedies. Is it that much of a sin to enjoy some of the mindless entertainment this anime industry has to offer?
Well, I suppose you ought to know about mindless entertainment, seeing as you seem to enjoy shounen anime quite a lot.
Oh my, did I just make an attack on your personal preferences? How very unelegant of me.
Back to Nurarihyon. I never said I knew what's going to happen in the second season. And now you even admit that you understand the fact that I didn't like the first season. So what exactly is the problem here? It seems we have quite the misunderstanding here.
I've never criticized the second season. I just said it's unfair that the first season of Nurarihyon, which I didn't enjoy at all, has a sequel in productionl and all kinds of other great shows get left in the dark.
Please you 2, can't you just BOTH STFU, grow up and become decent Otaku? Honestly, why the #&¤)%& can't you understand that it doen't matter if you like or don't like the series? You keep filling the chatroom with annoying comments (and YES, so am I right now, out of fustration because of your EXTREMELY childish behaviour), and it is REALLY disturbing. If you want to continue your pointless arguement, please, for everyones sake, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! Thank you and have a nice day.

The audience has the right to criticize: the product is targetted to them, they have expectations and they have seen enough Anime to decide what they think is good and what not.
Furthermore, if the audience is not critical, the production quality will be lower then it should be as there is no reason to spend more money and effort into it if they will all accept anything like blind sheep.

Clarke so close to rewriting Oz rules
Former Down minor star Martin Clarke is just two matches away from writing his name into Australian Rules football folklore.
The teenager, who was the driving force behind Down's All-Ireland minor triumph last year and played a key role in his St Louis, Kilkeel school team reaching the MacRory Cup final over the past two seasons, could become the first Irishman to win an AFL Premiership in his debut season in 11 days.
Clarke's rise from an international rookie to a first choice senior player for Collingwood after only a few months learning the rules and technical nuances of the oval ball game is nothing short of astounding.
The former An Riocht centre-half forward made the fastest Irish debut in history against Sydney in June and is already one of the first names on the Magpies team-sheet.
Standing between Clarke and a first Grand Final appearance in front of 100,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is a preliminary final against the Premiership favourites Geelong on Friday.
The Geelong Cats lost only four matches in the home and away season, which they turned into a one-horse race with Collingwood 20 points behind in sixth place.
But after last week's extra-time win to eliminate the reigning Premiers - West Coast Eagles - in their own backyard in Perth, Clarke and his team-mates will go into the do-or-die fixture full of confidence.
"It's sudden death on Friday and if we lose it's all over for another year, so we're just concentrating on Geelong before we think about anything else," Clarke told the Belfast Telegraph. "It would be incredible to win a Premiership in my first season at Collingwood but we have to get there first.
"It's all gone really quick since I came over at the end of September (last year) just after the grand final.
"Everyone around the club has helped me settle in and, luckily, it's gone okay, but I'm going to keep working as hard as I can because I've got a lot to learn.
"Whatever happens I'm going home [too Northern Ireland] when the season is over and I'll come back in October for pre-season."

The Heil PR 31 BW was a suggestion of Bob Workman, FOH engineer for Charlie Daniels, who uses Heil microphones exclusively. Bob uses the Heil PR 30 for just about every application but it was too large physically to fit in and around the drum kit so Bob suggested Heil "cut it in half," and that's exactly what they did—and the Heil PR 31 BW was born—a 4" version of the PR 30 that exhibits all specs of the full-size PR 30. It has the same great frequency response, same wonderful front pattern, and the incredible -40 dB of rear and side rejection, which is perfect for using the PR 31 BW as an "underhead" microphone for cymbals.
Placing a microphone under the cymbal has never been successful because the microphone hears everything around it. With the -40 dB of rear and side rejection of the PR 31 BW, the microphone does not hear anything but what it is point towards—in this case, the cymbal and nothing from the toms or other sounds close by.
Using a right-angle connector and the Heil Sound HH-1 rim mount, the PR 31BW is the perfect low-profile answer for toms. The PR 31 BW also works great in front of a guitar cabinet, brass, and saxophone, inside a Leslie speaker, and is perfect for acoustic pianos. It's a go-to microphone for just about everything, including vocals. This incredible little bombshell is rightfully named, the HEIL PR 31 BW in honor and thanks to Bob Workman

Chance for Peace Gains Wary Support
With the Mideast "road map" inching forward and a new Palestinian leadership gaining traction both at home and in Washington, Jewish leaders here — with the usual exceptions — are ready to give peace a chance.
That was evident at last week's meeting between Palestinian Prime Minster Mahmoud Abbas and a delegation of 50 Jewish leaders assembled by the pro-peace process Israel Policy Forum (IPF) and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA).
However, unlike the euphoric days after the signing of the first Oslo agreement in 1993, the mood after last week's meeting was restrained and realistic. Even peace process advocates like IPF and Americans for Peace Now seem determined to demand a measure of performance from Israel's peace partners.
Abbas may be a breath of fresh air, as aone Jewish participant enthused, but it is far from clear whether he can fulfill his promises. And while the prime minister said many of the "right" things last week, he also dropped hints that he can't or won't comply with some of the most basic demands of the Bush administration's Mideast road map, starting with a dismantling of the terror groups that have spilled so much Israeli blood.
On the right, demands for a "performance-based" peace process are often just a cover for complete opposition to any serious negotiations, because performance requirements are set impossibly high. Among more centrist groups and especially in the dovish sector of the community, a refusal to take a hard-headed look at Palestinian performance was one reason groups lost credibility when the Oslo peace process crashed and burned.
It wasn't exactly a love fest, but Abbas impressed most of the assembled Jewish leaders, although the guest list did not include ardent foes of the peace process, such as the Zionist Organization of America, which was protesting the Abbas visit outside the White House.
The generally positive reaction among Jewish leaders mirrored the response from the White House, although congressional leaders — much more hawkish these days than the Bush administration — were less impressed.
Jewish leaders, though, were restrained in their enthusiasm. Many expressed serious doubts that Abbas will be able to stand up to efforts of groups like Hamas and to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, who seems to be working full time to undercut the man he appointed to the new post of prime minister.
In the heady days after the 1993 Oslo signing, Jewish leaders were touting a new Middle East; last week they were wondering how the old Middle East would affect Abbas' prospects for survival and whether his positive-sounding words could be matched by deeds.
Hannah Rosenthal, JCPA's executive vice chair, said that the dominant reaction of the Jewish leaders was "relief" that there now appears to be a Palestinian leader committed to a fair settlement of the conflict.
The relief was tempered by caution. Most Jewish leaders are willing to give Abbas a chance, and most are willing to support President Bush's efforts to bolster the Palestinian leader, including the recent White House decision to offer direct aid to the Palestinian Authority, a major shift in U.S. policy.
However, they expect to hold Abbas accountable for his actions; their support will be conditional on his performance. They also expect the administration to apply the same standard.
That poses a particularly big challenge for Jewish peace groups like IPF and Americans for Peace Now. Many of their key positions — land-for-peace negotiations, Palestinian statehood, removing most settlements — are supported by a majority of American Jews and Israelis, according to recent polls.
But these groups lost the Jewish public after the new intifada exploded on the scene in September 2000, because of their slowness in responding to the big gap between Arafat's words and deeds, something the right had been slugging away at for years.
The peace groups sometimes gave the impression they were more intolerant of Israeli actions like settlement expansion than they were of Arafat's unending reliance on violence as a negotiating tool. Too often, naked hope trumped clear-headed realism, something that cost these groups dearly as American Jews reacted strongly to the resumption of violence.
Judging by last week's meeting, there is a new realism among top Jewish leaders here. That same response will be needed among pro-peace process groups.
That could be an important first step in regaining the trust of a Jewish public that still longs for a fair peace, but has become much more skeptical about Israel's potential partners in the process.

Air Flow & Signal Flow: Going with the Flow?The Project Studio, Part VI
The ideal way to deal with this situation is with a unit designed for central air conditioning. These types of A/C units will really push some air through some ducts. The ducts, if insulated and designed sensibly, will offset the noise generated by the motors and fans inherent in this or any type of air conditioning. A wall or window air conditioner is designed to treat just one room, and can do this fairly easily without pushing a lot of air. But we need the ducts. It's all about the ducts.
BTUs essentially represent the ability to turn hot air into cool air—the more you have (BTUs), the more hot air you can turn into cool air. The process of turning hot air into cool air creates heat, so this created heat must be vented away from the room-to-be-cooled in some way. Wall and window units have the heat dispersing portion of the unit placed on the outside of the building. A central air conditioning unit is generally placed outdoors, but it can also be placed inside in special circumstances. Since there's more of a current of air than with a room air conditioner, a central air unit adds one other factor must be considered—an "exhaust" must be created for this air current , or too much of a "load" will be put back on the A/C unit.
The Duct's The Thing
Shakespeare said, "The play's the thing." Shakespeare was a brilliant and insightful man, but he was wrong about this one.
In a nutshell, if you insulate the ducts and throw in a 90 degree angle or two, you'll have a ducting system that will bring cool air into your studio and isolate the noise to a reasonable degree. Obviously, whether or not one can use a central air conditioning unit Vs trying this with a room air conditioner is the deciding factor. Let's look at an attempt at this with just a room air conditioner for the time being, since for many of us in apartments, it might be the most practical approach.
If you go into a store that sells room air conditioners and suggest that you want to do anything like this, they're going to look at you like you're crazy. Room air conditioners are not designed to perform this task, so they're going to need a little help, help in the form of additional fans to move the air. This is going to take a bit of ingenuity, and perhaps someone who's handy with tools.
Electronic supply stores will have "silent" fans that run on AC power. Usually they are square and mountable, similar to computer fans that run on DC power. I ran down to my local Home Depot, and the type of ducting available there is a round aluminum type, with round to rectangular adapters that connect to the rectangular grate that interfaces with the room itself. This ducting must be connected lengthwise, so it would be possible to insert an insulating or absorptive material, plus an arrangement with a fan. The round shape might make this project overly interesting, if you will.
Rectangular ducting is also available. However, at a certain point it may become reasonable to just build the duct to the size of the fan. It may be possible, if building these ducts out of wallboard, to build right into the existing structure or the structure being built. Insulating it serves two purposes, much the same as placing absorptive material inside a studio—keeping sound from reflecting inside and keeping outside noise out.
We have three possible scenarios here, if we assume that we have one single room that we're dealing with. We can air condition a) a room that has only absorptive material on the wall (or none at all), b) a room that has a vocal booth built somewhere within it, or c) a room that has had the floor, walls, and ceiling raised, extended, and dropped, in other words, a "room within a room" has been constructed with a partition that creates a recording room/vocal booth.
Real analogies can actually be made between air flow and the flow of electricity. If ducting in two directions, consider that the air will follow the path of least resistance. Because of that, equal lengths should be considered for the two duct paths. Building an enclosure around the A/C unit will be necessary to fully isolate the noise, so some ducting must be considered if we're to feed the air intake, unless we're able to take the feed from the outside. The main thing when feeding air conditioning into two rooms, such as a control room and a vocal booth, is that each room must have its own source, receiving air from two separate ducts. This will avoid crosstalk between the rooms—definitely undesirable. It would go something like this:
Pushing the Air-velope
In the next installment, we'll get into some specs for air conditioners, and the decision-making process for buying one. We'll also explore some construction specifics. I hope that your right brain has been engaged, and the visualization process has started for actually trying to pull this off.

The Afghan Parliament recently drafted a law intended to eliminate violence against women, who are beginning to reject old cultural practices and assert themselves in public and in private. I went to the Kabul home of Sahera Sharif, a Pashtun and the first female member of parliament from Khost. "No one knew a woman could put up campaign photos and posters on the walls in Khost—men didn't allow women to even have jobs in Khost," she said.
As a girl, Sharif stood up to her father, a conservative mullah, locking herself in a closet until he allowed her to go to school. She lived through the civil war between competing mujahideen groups, who ravaged Kabul before the Taliban conquest in 1996. She witnessed unimaginable cruelty and many deaths. "Much of the violence and cruelty you see now," Sharif said, "is because people are crazy from all these wars."
After the Taliban fell in December 2001, Sharif started a radio station to educate women about hygiene and basic health. More radically, she volunteered to teach at the university in Khost (a first there). She took off her burka (another first) and stood before the male students teaching them psychology. They blushed. And so she began to reeducate them.
As we talked, I could see what an inspiration Sahera Sharif has been to her 15-year-old daughter, Shkola, who interrupted her mother to show me a photograph of a woman in a magazine. The woman was lying with her throat cut, murdered by her husband's family. The woman's mother, mad with grief, had begged the magazine to publish the photograph. "I became crazy from this picture," Shkola said. "I saw it over and over like a film."
Shkola is studying Islamic history and law. She intends to become a lawyer in order to help women defend themselves against violence and injustice. In the meantime, she is scouring books from Iran to find stories for children "like you have," she said. "We have almost none here. So I'm translating them into Pashtu, and I'm also writing a novel."
In various corners of the country—in Khost and Kandahar, in Herat and Kabul—I've met young women like Shkola. They're writing not the old landays but poems and novels, and they're making documentaries and feature films. These are the new stories women are telling about their lives in Afghanistan.

What the hell was that? I don't know what to say or do with that!
I don't know what to do with that!
I don't know what to do with that!
In order to see the truth, sometimes you have to loose an eye.
so i get up this morning all bitchy, my kinked neck is forcing me to take pills when i am trying to detox from the past 3 years. d's home and i have to clean my dads place and pick up rubber and adhesive go to a conference and then finally get to the grill. damn it, i have to shower in there too. go to make my fuckin coffee and there is none made. so i fuckin have to start the coffee maker and i'm cleaning up left over dishes and shit in the sink and notice my coffee maker aint doing anything. "what the fuck's wrong with this now?" play with the buttons and all the little sensor thingys...nothing. unplug...replug...nothing. dump the water out and spill it all over the fucking counter cause the plug was in and i ran out of cord - "oh fuck you!"...flick the switches again, thought i heard a *poof* from it...then nothing. gave it a smack...*tsssst*...nothing. "come on!" picked it up and slammed it on the counter *bam bam bam!* poured the water in and it worked...."fuck you!"
there's my big dick for the day.
awesome start to the day! It can only get better
had left over coffee from last night this morning...
no bianca...
kink i neck is better...
warm in the house...
sept fine...
don't even care about the "results" this morning...
nothing to bitch about, sorry...i am seeminngly unaffected by nothing.
that's a *sus* in itself, but the day is still young.
in the meantime...here;
Can hair can turn gray over night?
Hair turns gray slowly over time. As you get older, the production of your color pigment slows down and gray hair begins to appear.
We can do better than that - hold on.
My Halloween costume entitled me to this bit of medical information, apparently from Lance Armstrong:
Your hair is the color it is because of melanin, the same substance that gives skin its color. As you age, the amount of melanin in each hair shaft decreases, leading to gray and eventually white hair. Gray hair does not actually "turn" gray. Each hair strand grows for about two to four years, according to Rhonda B. Graham, staff writer for Aetna InteliHealth. After a two- to four-month resting stage, a hair falls out and is then replaced by a new hair. You lose between 50 to 100 individual hair strands each day, and the pigmented hairs are gradually replaced by gray hairs as you age.

Meanwhile, according to the Heart editorial, another large study found no mortality benefit for those who ran faster than 8 miles per hour, while those who ran slower reaped significant mortality benefits.
This paragraph is the only good news for me!! Guess there is no need to speed up!
Life's journey is not to arrive safely to the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!
"If you are running more than 15 miles a week, you are doing it for some reason other than health," said Dr. Cooper, adding that he suspects—without hard evidence—that extreme exercise can render a body more susceptible to cancer.
Now this running is just another bad habit to add to my list. I could not believe it when I read this in the WSJ yesterday. Oh well I tried to do something good for myself
So why are all these forums showing unread to me. I am logged in??

Watching Zack Arias' video blog for the Kelby site inspired me yesterday. One of the questions Zack asked in the introduction of the video is, "What do I bring to the table that countless others have not already served up on this massive platter of visual pollution that we create each and every day?â€
Zack's question is probably something we ask ourselves as we try, each and every day, to get better at our craft. How do we interpret a vision with the tools we have? There is no button that says, "Joe McNally†on our dSLR that we can push if we want a photo worthy of a National Geographic feature.
A teacher once told me, When you're in doubt about something abstract, go back to the concrete. I'm still trying to follow that advice; it's helped me learn daily.
When we think about seeing creatively, and creating from that vision, it's such an overwhelmingly large topic that we need to break it down into concrete modules, things we can do today that adds to and strengthens that vision.
We can begin with our tools.
The lens you have attached to your dSLR is an extension of your vision. Through that lens, you can create an interpretation of what you see before you. This interpretation is your vision, the way you say things that you see. How does the lens you use affect that vision?
1. Your lens determines how you frame an image.
Your lens can help you include things in the frame, or exclude things from it. Try going out with a couple of lenses to photograph a single scene. How does a wide angle's inclusiveness change the story? How does the story change when you photograph the scene with a telephoto? The differences between what we can include or exclude using different focal lengths of lenses determines a lot of the story we present in a resulting frame.
2. Lenses change your point of view.
Because the focal length of lenses can include or exclude, using a different lens to take a photo changes your point of view. A lens that sees the same way the eye can see, namely the 50mm 'normal' lens, allows you to take photographs that echo what you see without the camera pressed to your face. A wide angle, say a 24mm lens, gives you a wider view; you can see more background, more foreground. The environmental details around your subject that you capture with a wide angle lens changes your point of view because you now have the ability to use these environmental details to add to the story.
3. Different lenses affect an image in different ways.
At the different edges of the spectrum of focal length effects, different things happen in your frame.
A wide angle lens like the 24-70mm can distort the subject. For instance, if you use a wide angle lens for a portrait where the subject leans toward you, their face shows up much bigger than their hands. Wide lenses can 'see' what's closer as bigger, and what is farther as smaller.
Telephoto lenses, such as a 70-200mm, tend to 'flatten' elements in the frame against each other. When you're stacking elements in a frame deliberately, this helps you to create planes that the viewer can easily identify, and with good light, you can create a photo that has depth.
4. Some lenses can render tilt better than others.
Tilting lenses while taking photos is a great way to discover what happens to the image when you change the way you point your camera.
Some tilt can be done on the same plane. What this means is, tilting the camera left or right, but keeping the lens pointed on a plane parallel to your subject. In the photo below, I tilted the camera to change the background, but the camera lens is parallel to the model.
Other tilting can use distortion to effect. Here, with a wide angle lens, the camera was tilted to change its plane relative to the subject. I tilted the camera lens down and produced the effect of the clouds 'marching' across the sky. This sort of tilt helps you create perspective and depth in a shot.
Note on tilt: if you are using a normal lens, or a long telephoto like a 70-200mm, tilt doesn't work for effect that well, since the focal length gives you a very narrow field of vision.
5. Lenses can help you use depth of field creatively.
We've all seen stunning images that use depth of field creatively. Lenses with large apertures (f/1.2 all the way to f/2.8 for example) produce very shallow depth of field in the images. Portrait photographers love to use very wide apertures because of the 'creamy' effect it produces in the background. If you use a very wide depth of field on a portrait with a forest as background, the background is rendered a blurred blob of soft green without much detail. This de-clutters the background and gives a pleasant dreamy quality to a portrait.
You can also use this effect for the foreground.
Seeing creatively—an abstract concept—can be made concrete if you begin practicing it through a concrete tool, like the lens you have on your camera right now. With these simple tips, you can build a visual collection that hopefully, doesn't "pollute†but beautifies your portfolio.

Paris (AFP) Feb 27, 2008
The monsoon rains that drench tropical and subtropical Asia from June through September vary in duration and intensity in keeping with tiny wobbles in Earth's orbit as it circles the Sun, according to a study released Wednesday.
These cycles wax and wane every 23,000 years, said the study, based on the breakthrough use of stalagmites from a cave in central-eastern China to measure changes in climate patterns over the last quarter million years.
"The implications are that the present Asian summer monsoon is relatively weak in comparison to a few thousand years ago and that is will stay at this level for centuries more," lead researcher Hai Cheng of Nanjing Normal University in China's Jiangsu Province told AFP.
The findings, however, do not take into account the relatively recent impact of greenhouse gas-driven global warming, which climate scientists predict could significant alter monsoon patterns.
Three irregularities in the movement of Earth -- its orbit, the angle at which it is tilted, and the axis of rotation -- all combine to create a periodic variation in the amount of incoming solar radiation, explained Cheng.
It is this so-called precessional cycle that is largely responsible for longterm changes in monsoon duration and strength, the researchers found.
Monsoons occur with the seasonal reversals of wind directions caused by temperature differences between the land and sea.
While found elsewhere in the world, they are most pronounced in Asia in part due to the impact of the massive Tibetan Plateau.
Economies in tropical and sub-tropical Asia, especially around the Indian subcontinent, depend on monsoon rainfall to grow crops on land that is largely unirrigated.
But heavy monsoons can also bring massive flooding, causing severe economic damage and loss of life.
As significant as the findings, arguably, are the methods used to collect them.
Cheng and his colleagues measured the oxygen isotope ratios locked in the stalagmites built up from the floor of the Sanbao Cave to determine changes in climate over millennia, said the study, published in the British journal Nature.
Compared with other commonly used proxies of paleoclimatology such as tree-rings and ice cores, speleothems -- as these mineral deposits are called -- provide a record over a much longer timescale.
This technique "will likely replace the Greenland ice records as the chronological benchmark for correlating and calibrating climate variability," said Cheng.
It also allows for a new level of precision, achieved by measuring the growth of the isotope thorium-230 from the slow radioactive decay of uranium, found in trace amounts in the deposits.
"What emerges is a record of monsoon variation unprecedented in its detail and chronology stretching back 224,000 years," said Jonathan Overpeck and Julia Cole, both geologists at the University of Arizona, in a commentary, also in Nature.
The word "monsoon" is thought to have originated from the Arabic word "mausim," which means season.

Using the wealth of experience of internationally acclaimed Hypnotherapist Aaron Surtees, his hypnosis download programme for exercise motivation helps re-programme your subconscious to want to exercise regularly, consistently and permanently. It benefits both those who already exercise but want to increase intensity and motivation and for those just starting out with a new exercise regime.
Exercise will be seen as a pleasure and not a chore. You will feel inspired to push yourself further and harder. This creates a new positive cycle of enjoying the endorphin rush of exercise and wanting more of it but within a controlled and healthy pattern. Being good for a few days or weeks and the giving up after a food binge or a holiday will be a thing of the past. A consistent exercise mindset is created, allowing for a permanent and positive shift in your quality and enjoyment of life.
The natural state of hypnosis is used to create an in-built motivation for exercise, making it an integral and highly valued part of your life. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is also added for maximum impact and lasting results. We have an exceptionally high success rate with this programme and it has been widely acknowledged as a ground breaking product that helps to establish a lasting exercise mindset.
Instructions for use:
(Note: the programme/s can be downloaded onto any iOS or Android device or your PC etc)
1) Try to listen with headphones or earphones at a time and place where you will NOT BE disturbed for around 30 mins.
2) Sit or lay in a comfortable place (usually bed, chair or sofa are best) in a room temperature that is comfortable for you.
3) Try to listen EVERYDAY for the first 1-2 weeks or as many times as practicable for you.
4) You CANNOT over listen, generally speaking the more you listen the more the message is reinforced, so you could listen for weeks! (remember as well as being all about results its also highly relaxing, therapeutic and de-stressing)
5) When you have got the result you want its fine to stop listening (remembering you have the recording FOREVER) should you need it in future.
6) If you fall asleep each time you listen, try it earlier in the day, its most beneficial not to be sleeping throughout it (rather in a physically relaxed but mentally aware and alert state ie the 'hypnotic state')
7) If you have downloaded multiple treatment downloads, its fine to listen to them on alternate days. AVOID listening to MORE than one recording a day.
8) Last but certainly NOT least – ENJOY THE RESULTS!
Best Regards Always,
Aaron Surtees

Robbie Ross has taken his first season in the big leagues all in stride. He's played along with the Rangers' bit of making the least-tenured guy in the bullpen carry a pink backpack with all the bullpen "supplies" in it. This year, the Rangers have even taken it a bit further, as Ross has sported a Cowboy hat, vest, badge and pop gun.
A few years ago, it was Derek Holland in that position, sporting the pink backpack. If Ross can get to where Holland is now, the Rangers will be big-time winners. He's off to a good start.
Over the past two days, Ross picked up two wins in relief, coming in for Yu Darvish on Saturday and pitching 2/3 of an inning to get the win, and going two full innings on Sunday after replacing Neftali Feliz. On Sunday, Ross was downright dominant, as he struck out three Twins and gave up one hit but still facing the minimum six batters.
So far this season, Ross has pitched 3 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and has allowed two hits. He's 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP (walks + hits per innings pitched).
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise after watching Ross basically wrestle the middle relief role right out of Michael Kirkman's hands in spring training. It's carried over into the regular season so far for the 22-year-old.

Babassu oil (Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil) is expeller pressed from the kernels of the Babassu palm tree. The tree, native to Brazil, is an important economic resource for the country.
The properties of Babassu oil are similar to coconut oil, without the greasy feel. Just like coconut oil, it is composed of lauric, myristic and oleic acids, which are fatty acids beneficial for our hair and scalp.
The melting points of the acids are close to our body temperature, so when the oil is applied, it draws the heat from our skin and begins to melt. This process leaves a cooling sensation on the skin.
Babassu oil also forms a protective, soothing coat when applied to the skin as well as a pleasant, smooth feeling. Babassu oil, can be purchased in oil and butter form, for about $10 for 16 ounces of the oil and $10 for 8 ounces of the butter.
The oil is used in everything from food to cosmetics and soaps. It is an emollient, that is good for soothing and protecting the skin, hair/scalp. It can be used for eczema, itchy, dry, inflamed skin/scalp and to soften and condition hair.
You can substitute Babassu oil or butter in hair recipes that call for coconut oil or use it alone as a hot oil or pre-shampoo treatment, mix a little in your conditioner to enhance its properties, or to seal in moisture after washing.

MADRID, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A Spanish politician was photographed looking at a saucy magazine spread of a transsexual celebrity during a parliamentary session.
Miguel Angel Revilla -- the former president of the autonomous community of Cantabria and current leader of the Regionalist Party of Cantabria -- was spotted during a parliamentary session Monday reading a magazine that frequently features nude photos of celebrities, and was photographed looking at pictures of Brazilian transsexual Cristini Couto, TheLocal.es reported Wednesday.
Revilla later explained he had asked his secretary to pick up a copy of the magazine, Interviu, so he could read an article in the same issue about Miguel Blesa, former head of Caja Madrid bank.
"I did also notice the girl with the guitar," the politician joked during an interview with the "Anda Ya" program.
Revilla posted a more serious response on his Facebook page in a note titled "Nothing to Hide."
He blamed his opponents in the Popular Party for attempting to discredit him.
"I don't steal, I don't give jobs to my relatives, I've never handled a work contract with hidden interests in my 16 years in government," he wrote. "I've been subjected to three breathalyzer tests in the last year for no reason and I've had the book of my car searched. All for nothing. Maybe they'll speculate now about the naked lady in the magazine but my libidinous years are over.
"I've committed no crime. They can do what they like. I'm not going to shut up," Revilla wrote.

As a sibling of a child with cancer Okizu was my "safe" place and full of people who understood what I was going through without me having to say or explain anything. After 2 years of going to Okizu my sibling lost his battle with cancer and Okizu is where I found the most comfort as it was a place full of support, laughter, and unconditional understanding! Thank you Okizu for providing me with some of my best friends, fondest memories, and support I couldn't get anywhere else!

TRAVERSE CITY, MI – As the nation gears up for the presidential election this fall, speakers at the Management Briefing Seminars here appear acutely aware of the high political stakes riding on the outcome.
J.T. Battenberg III, CEO, chairman and president of Delphi Corp., urges Wednesday's crowd to "take an active interest in current and pending legislation," and he refers to the regulatory environment as "very dangerous."
"I'm worried about some of the proposals that are out there that are not business-friendly," Battenberg tells Ward's.
"It's very important that we not let the auto industry get burdened with legislation that's going to put us at a disadvantage," he says. "We need a level playing field, and we cannot let ourselves deteriorate to the level of some of these other industries that did nothing until it's too late. At the end of the day, what do they do? They ask for a bailout. And I don't want to get in that position."
Delphi's J.T. Battenberg III
In addition, Battenberg says the industry has much to fear: potential legislation that inhibits free trade and closes open markets, potential tax increases on U.S. companies and anticipated increases in health-care and pension costs for U.S. companies.
"We – you and I – just can't let that happen," he says. "I believe that business leaders must be vocal and take a leading role in supporting and ensuring growth in the U.S."
Battenberg even spoke about the federal budget deficit, noting that 2004 projections chart a decrease of $76 billion.
"Economic conditions now permit us to pursue a course of maximizing growth while significantly reducing the deficit," he says. "This is why we must continue to pursue policies that will foster growth – like liberalizing trade, reforming our litigation system, making the tax cuts permanent and lowering tax rates – while we work to decrease the deficit."
Among Battenberg's top priorities are to "lean out" Delphi's manufacturing operations and to address the shortage of engineers in the U.S., which Battenberg says will be a serious problem by 2010.
" I think we're going to wake up and be really short of skilled trades people," he says.
Could Delphi outsource some U.S. engineering work to facilities overseas? "That's an option," he says. "The better option is to get more Americans to get involved in engineering and to get more degrees. We only have 62,000 engineering graduates (per year) in America."

The adequacy of the traditional Econometric approach to non-linear Cycles
To show that the traditional econometric approach is not able to deal with deterministic chaos, I use an extension of Goodwin's growth cycle model to generate artificial data for output. An EGARCH model is estimated to describe the data generation process. Although, using some traditional econometric tests, no evidence of misspecification is found, the estimated process is qualitatively wrong: it is dynamically stable when the true process is unstable. A specific econometric procedure developed to deal with deterministic chaos is presented: the BDS statistics. Also an explanation for the little evidence of deterministic chaos in aggregated macroeconomic time series is suggested.

Beyond the Sun
In 2003, when John Simmons opened Firefly restaurant on Paradise Road, he had to dig into his couch for loose change, take money out of the bar till every night and write IOUs to his waiters because he needed their tip money to keep the place open.
To be able to feed his few initial diners, he "would scrape together as much food as we could for the night — three steaks, two chickens — that's how bad it was. For the first six to eight months, it was a living hell," Simmons says.
The 42-year-old's first restaurant, just off the Strip, is practically a Las Vegas institution. Go there almost any night of the week and it is packed with tourists, locals, young, old, hipsters and hippies.
In August, in the midst of the brutal recession, Simmons opened another Firefly and in the most unlikely of places — the Plaza — that's right, the old stalwart on the far west end of the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas.
Many who watched Simmons make the move considered it a mistake.
Very quickly, however, the new Firefly has become a hot spot.
"I think the down economy has actually helped me a little bit," Simmons says. "I've got a $35 average check for dinner with drinks, and that's tough to beat for the experience. I don't do bargains or specials, because I've always had good value. And I happen to love the Dome."
The Dome is the flying saucer-shaped space that juts out of the Plaza's second floor and overlooks Fremont Street. During a video montage at the beginning of "Casino," actors Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone are seen sitting in the Dome during its heyday. But in recent years, until Simmons came in, the place stayed empty.
"It was just underutilized and now I'm driving 200 to 500 more people through here a day, and 90 percent of them would have never come here before," Simmons says.
He lives in downtown Las Vegas, in the Huntridge neighborhood, because it's the one part of Las Vegas that most reminds him of Homewood, Ill., the south Chicago suburb where he grew up. The son of a trucking-business owner, Simmons graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in economics. But he always loved cooking, which helped put him through college.
At a trim 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, he hardly looks like a cook. He plays slow-pitch softball — his Firefly team has three championships. But he spends more time drinking wine, reading science fiction — and poring over cookbooks.
He had a gig as a chef at Paris Las Vegas' Mon Ami Gabi from its 1999 opening until he struck out on his own — and nearly struck out like so many other would-be restaurateurs do.
When things were bad, his perseverance didn't stem from his belief in his idea. Instead, "it was about every uncle and aunt and friend I knew who gave me $5,000 for a few shares," he says. "I couldn't let them down." He vowed to do the best he could, but envisioned being forced to leave town within a few months and "never opening another business again."
Six years later, and with his second Firefly having beaten even bigger odds, he almost has to pinch himself.
"It's strange and I'm still kind of catching my breath from the whole experience."
