We stayed for five nights in September and what a welcoming, comfortable,peaceful place so near to Washington's many places of interest. We were late in arriving due to Rail problems but our room was warmly lit, with relaxing music playing, an inviting feather bed and a welcome letter waiting for us. Our room was Il Duomo which was beautifully appointed and luxurious with the most amazing en-suite.The breakfast was excellent and the amenities first class with helpful friendly and accommodating staff. If you want to experience the many attractions of Washington which are easily accessible, but want a quiet neighbourhood for dining and relaxing after a busy sightseeing day Swann House should be your choice.,

Oh my jesus...what's happening to me? I've abandoned computers...completely!! Eef. I guess it's okay though, cause I am definitely liking being a teen and not....a virtual teen? Heheh, getting wasted and partying with my boyfriend and just being my age is a lot better than spending ALL MY TIME on a computer. *sigh* Sex is amazing when you don't have to PAUSE FOR A CONDOM. God I hate those things. Birth control, however, sucks. A Lot. Having to endure the symptoms of pregnancy when clearly you're NOT PREGNANT sucks.Me and the Prof. bought our own pipe today. Oh my god it's beautiful. It's tiny, light-weight, and has this amazingly cute little dragonfly on it. Oh, and it's made of Chameleon Glass which changes colors the more you use it. *creams* God...amazing.The birthday was great. We had breakfast together, watched lots of Outlaw Star, played with Ikarus, the rest is sorta of a blur....But it was all great. :)Mmm, well, thats enough blabbering for now.
(2 of you rock | rock my socks)
Important points that sum up my life from the last time I posted to now:-Birth control sucks my invisible big black cock. I've never felt so terrible in my life...but it's worth it.

Whaaat?-July fourth was awesome...hotels rock. - |||| makes you more creative than you can ever imagine.-Friends make my life worth living.-Stencils are my new obsession. I currently own 3 of my own. And I made them myself... rock.-I am now a student at MDCC in the honors program and at the same time, I'm taking remedial math. O_o-Ninja Scroll, Neon Genesis Evangelion...what more can I say?-I love my boyfriend <3333333-Having Pooka draw all over my body with permanent marker makes for some good times.-Sarasota this week (Jul.19-26) Fun? Maybe, maybe not. I'm going to miss him like crazy. It's Ft. Meyers all over again. god help me.-Glassjaw is so great. -Art has consumed my life this summer...and I love it.That's enough. Peace out.

The property market continued to boil hotter at the end of last year, as house prices reached new records and sales volumes topped five-year highs.
Latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) shows the national median house price reached a new record of $389,000 in December, up almost 10 per cent from the previous year.
All regions recorded falls in sales volume during December, as is normal during the shortened trading month.
But 74,000 houses were sold over the course of the year, marking a 21 per cent rise from 2011 and the highest annual total since 2007.
Despite the strong growth in sales volume, the number of sales relative to total dwellings remained below the long-run average and well behind the 2003 peak, when more than 120,000 properties were sold.
REINZ chief executive Helen O'Sullivan said the Auckland and Canterbury/Westland regions were the key drivers last year, accounting for more than half the country's real estate activity.
"The strength of these two regions is starting to spill over into other parts of the country with Central Otago Lakes and Wellington both seeing more invigorated markets, particularly in terms of sales volumes."
Sales by auction went through the roof in 2012, growing by 87 per cent in Auckland and by one third across the rest of the country.
O'Sullivan said the trend was evidence of the ongoing tightness in some parts of market where demand was increasing, but supply remained constrained.
While the national median house price increased by $5750 in December, prices in Auckland eased by almost the same amount.
However, the median Auckland price of $535,000 was still up more than 10 per cent from December 2011.
Canterbury/Westland's median house price rose 1.7 per cent compared with November, reaching a new record of $351,000.
The regions with the highest lift in prices for the month were Nelson/Marlborough, up 8.3 per cent, followed by Central Otago Lakes, up 5.9 per cent, and Taranaki, up 5.4 per cent.
Hawke's Bay prices eased by 7.9 per cent in December, Southland by 5.1 per cent, and Otago by 4.1 per cent.
Wellington was subdued at 0.6 per cent growth, though the capital city's median house price has grown 5.3 per cent year-on-year.
Across the whole country, the total value of residential sales was $2.73 billion in December, compared with $2.32b in December 2011.
The total value of residential sales was $33.95b during 2012.

'I'm Sorry Robber' strikes 7-Eleven in North Austin
Police are asking for information from the public
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Police believe the "I'm Sorry Robber" is responsible for a holdup at a 7-Eleven in North Austin Thursday.
The suspect held a gun in front of the convenient store clerk and demanded money, police said. He left the store on foot.
Police said that based on surveillance footage, they believe the crime to be linked with five incidents that occurred in July 2013. In each case the suspect apologizes to clerks during the armed robbery.
The suspect is described as a white male standing at 5'8" to 6 feet weighing 140 to 160 pounds in his twenties.
Police are asking anyone with information to call robbery detectives at (512) 974-5092 or Crime Stoppers at (512) 472-TIPS. People with information leading to an arrest may receive a reward of up to $1,000.

Loading... Imperfectionists, The (original 2010; edition 2011)by Tom Rachman
Work detailsThe Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman (2010)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Started and did not finish. Disjointed, more short stories/character studies than a coherent novel. Not my cup of tea. Each chapter tells the story of a different employee at an International newspaper in Rome. Some chapters flash backed to the founding of the paper by an American business man. Quite brilliant. I plowed through this one rather quickly. Much like Visit from the Goon Squad, this narrative is split between different people. The organizing principle or glue that holds these people together is the european-based english language newspaper they work for, and in one case, read. This is the 6 degrees of separation idea. I'd even call it a trend. When I talked about this with a friend, we tried to remember why it feels so familiar and decided it goes back to those movies like 21 Grams and Crash. We're only given moments of the character's lives; hopefully moments that reveal their character and cause it to change however slightly. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I'm not sure how I feel about this trend. I find myself entirely satisfied at times, and at other times, uncomfortably dissatisfied. Enough about structure. In all, I enjoyed reading this book. Rachman shows a strong ability to hold the narrative together, and his prose are very readable. Didn't love it. I really wanted to like this book more than I did. But it just wasn't what I was expecting after reading all the great reviews. It was more like a series of intertwined short stories than a novel. And most of the characters were pretty depressing. The book itself was well written and there were some interesting characters but most chapters left me wanting to know more about them.
The novel is alternately hilarious and heart-wrenching, and it's assembled like a Rubik's Cube. I almost feel sorry for Rachman, because a debut of this order sets the bar so high. Enjoy "The Imperfectionists" for the gem that it is. "The Imperfectionists" is about what happens when professionals realize that their craft no longer has meaning in the world's eyes (think of all those hardworking monk-scribes idled by Gutenberg) and that the only people who really understand them are on the same foundering ship, and that, come to think of it, they really loved that damn ship for all it made their lives hell. He's both testing and tender towards his people - their loneliness and purposelessness, moments of cleaving awareness ("one day, his son will die"), capabilities for love and commitment, devotion to kids, awareness of the fading future of a faded friend. It's convincing and compassionate; amusing and affectionate. In fact, it's a bit of a jewel. Anyone who has ever spent time in newspaperland will recognise The Imperfectionists' high degree of authenticity. So – you hope – will quite a few people beyond it. The citadel may be crumbling, but the righteousness of the defenders, miraculously, endures.
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone No descriptions found.

Maple syrup stolen in Quebec seized by police in New Brunswick
Quebec police have seized between 700 and 800 barrels of syrup from a New Brunswick exporter, linking the barrels to a syrup heist in August.
1 | Photo |
? | Comments |
Quebec police have seized between 700 and 800 barrels of maple syrup from a New Brunswick exporter, linking the drums to August's massive heist of the sweet stuff.
Étienne St-Pierre, owner of S.K. Exports in Kedgwick, N.B., told the Star that police executed a search warrant Sept. 26 and hauled away the barrels.
Related: A tarantula, three geese and one highly suspicious helicopter: Other strange police seizures
"They said they were searching to find some stolen drums from Quebec," he said. "It was a surprise. That was the first news I received."
St-Pierre said each barrel weighs about 270 kilograms and holds 170 litres of syrup, meaning police seized at least 119,000 litres of gooey Quebec gold.
A spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec, Sgt. Bruno Beaulieu, confirmed a search warrant had been executed in Kedgwick but said he could not comment on the investigation.
The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers has never revealed the amount of syrup stolen from its secure St-Louis-de-Blandford, Que. warehouse in August.
The facility held about 3.75 million litres of syrup, enough to fill one and a half Olympic swimming pools.
St-Pierre said he obtained the barrels from a regular Quebec supplier, who he refused to identify.
Sarto Landry, lawyer for the supplier, said his client buys maple syrup from all over Quebec and sells it for a profit. His client purchased the syrup at the regular price and had no reason to think it was stolen, said Landry, who also refused to name the supplier.
"We can't easily identify the syrup, it's not like buying a car or buying a house," he said. "At the moment, there's a presumption that the product that was bought. . . was in no way related to a deceitful transaction."
Landry said police have asked some maple syrup producers in Quebec to take lie-detector tests.
The SQ resumed its search of the N.B. warehouse Wednesday while the RCMP remained outside the building, St-Pierre said.
Meanwhile, police escorted a convoy of 16 trailor loads containing the seized syrup out of New Brunswick.
Yvon Poitras, general manager of the New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association, said the convoy had left the province and was en route to Quebec.
The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers said in August the heist threatened Canada's maple syrup industry. Quebec produces between 70 and 80 per cent of the world's maple syrup.
The federation declined to comment Wednesday.

The Church of Scientology has branches around the world and has its headquarters in Los Angeles. It calls itself a "new religion," one not based on the worship of a god, but rather one that purports to teach members how to improve the quality of their lives. Instead of salvation, it promises to rid the mind of mental obstacles to happiness and help members improve the world.
But some courts and many former members have called the organization a sham, saying it relies on religious pretenses to mask a highly profitable business. Membership in Dispute
The group claims a membership of eight million, although former members say that those figures are grossly inflated and that the total is probably closer to 50,000.
The Federal Government recognized the Church of Scientology of California as a tax-exempt religious organization in 1957, but revoked that exemption in 1967. Its decision led to a wave of litigation by the church and the Government over various issues, like the church's request under the Freedom of Information Act for Government files, to the Government's attempts to assess the organization.

Southwest plane skids off runway in NY
Officials looking into possible cause
RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines jet bound for Tampa, Fla., has veered off a taxiway and gotten stuck in mud at an airport on New York's Long Island.
Officials say there were no injuries to the 129 passengers and five crew members. Flight 4695 got stuck around 7 a.m. Thursday at MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma.
Southwest spokesman Paul Flaningan says moveable stairs were brought to the aircraft so everyone could get off and be bused to the terminal.
Flaningan says another jet is flying in from Baltimore to fly the passengers to Tampa. They're expected to arrive about five hours behind their initial schedule.
There was heavy rain overnight on Long Island, but Flaningan says it's not yet clear whether the weather played a role in the incident.

Nelson Mandela: A life in pictures
Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie in this undated file picture.
Topics: Books, Entertainment News
Late in Rob Nixon's "Dreambirds," a beautifully written if rambling book that's somewhere between the history it professes to be and a memoir of dislocation and homecoming, the author sneaks in what he says is the Arab fable of the ostrich's origins. When Allah summoned all of his creatures to be named and categorized, the ostrich decided that it was not a bird, since it could not fly, yet also not a beast, since it had two legs rather than four. Allah noticed the ostrich's aloofness and decreed: "You have cut yourself off from all your fellow creatures. You have chosen to be different and to be alone. So you shall live as you have chosen."
There is another creature, of course, that walks on two legs, cannot fly and counts itself separate from the birds and the beasts. "Dreambirds" concerns people more than it does ostriches, and mostly it concerns Nixon himself; it's a personal memoir clad in exotic plumage. For Nixon, a native of South Africa who has lived in the United States for 20 years and now teaches literature at the University of Wisconsin, the ostrich is a shifting signifier, a symbolic presence that travels through the background of his story without ever coming clearly into focus. In the fable of the ostrich, he seems to see something of his own rootless, peripatetic nature. He departed South Africa in sudden and clandestine fashion at the nadir of the apartheid era, cutting himself off from his family and the haunting desert landscapes he had cherished as a child. He can return only obliquely, by retracing the route of an awkward, flightless bird that, like him, had wandered from Africa to the New World.
And so there is a great deal of material on the history of ostrich farming in "Dreambirds." We learn about Max Rose, the Lithuanian Jewish immigrant who made and lost an enormous ostrich fortune in Oudtshoorn, the city in South Africa's Karroo desert that became the center of the world's feather trade in the years before World War I. At about the same time, 10,000 miles away in Arizona, a transplanted Canadian, Alexander J. Chandler, added ostrich ranching to his dreams of building canals and enormous resorts in the desert. (The ostriches eventually faded away, while Chandler's other, almost accidental innovation, the desert golf course, would shape Arizona's future.) We travel along with the great white explorers of the 1911 Trans-Saharan Ostrich Expedition, a quest to find the nearly mythical Barbary ostrich with its superior "double floss" feathers.
In the ostrich, with its teaspoon-size brain, its ornery nature (it has been known to kick would-be ostrich wranglers to death) and its implausible plumage, Nixon evidently sees the fragility, and the ludicrous beauty, of human dreams. It's also clear that he feels a personal connection to the peculiar bird Carolus Linnaeus dubbed the "sparrow-camel" (Struthio camelus). Why shouldn't he? He has vivid memories of riding ostriches during childhood visits to the Karroo — including the visit during which an ostrich ate his watch, a family heirloom — and his first published writing came, at 15, in a South African ornithological journal called, yes, the Ostrich. But the link between the actual world of ostriches and ostrich farming, full of fascinating minutiae as it may be, and Nixon's touching reminiscences of his taciturn journalist-botanist father remains inscrutable to me.
Ultimately, perhaps "Dreambirds" is not a book about either people or ostriches but a book about writing. It is not ostriches themselves but Nixon's desire to write about them that brings him to Arizona during an all-too-brief early-'90s ostrich boom. The Southwestern desert rekindles his childhood memories of the Karroo, opening the Proustian floodgates and allowing him to write about his father and the rest of his closemouthed family of Scottish immigrants. He's marvelous on his subsequent return to South Africa, just before its first democratic election in 1994. Exiles like him have "all struggled in our own way with memory," he reflects, "some forgetting this place too fast, others not nearly fast enough." His first visit to the Karroo in 25 years is charged with both familiarity and unreality: "What I saw I recognized, but it had been so long I couldn't quite make the memory mine. The whole trip felt suspended, as if occurring in a tense grammarians hadn't yet described."
"Things with roots have always bothered me," Nixon admits, and for better or worse "Dreambirds" celebrates rootlessness and disconnection. When he describes an Arizona desert museum as "just things from here and there, coexisting in the deep present," he could be describing his own book. His heroes are improbable wanderers and dreamers, Yiddish speakers in the veld, an eccentric hotel tycoon with a basement full of feathers, an Algerian-born woman he meets in Oudtshoorn who is a Paris-trained plumassihre and the great-great-granddaughter of the first ostrich farmer in history. Like Nixon himself, and like Allah's ostrich, they are creatures who have chosen to be different and alone, and to live as they have chosen.

Sicilian wines are renowned for their brightness and fruitiness, and one of the most important grape varietals grown on this Italian island region is the Nero d'Avola, an ancient and indigenous grape which is responsible for many of Sicily's finest wines. Deep, dark and complex, the Nero d'Avola is often compared with Australia's Shiraz grape as a result of its spicy, peppery nature, and strong flavors of plums and autumn fruits. Nero d'Avola is also well known for being one of the primary grape varietals for the production of Marsala wine, a flavorful and slightly viscous fortified wine which is popular across the globe. The grape flourishes best in hot, dry and arid conditions, and has had some success in New World countries in recent years.
The beautiful island of Sicily has been growing grapevines and producing wines for thousands of years, ever since the ancient Greeks first landed on its golden shores and noticed the island's true potential as a haven for quality grapes. Today, the island is one of Italy's primary wine regions, and even though over eighty percent of Sicily's grapevines are used for the production of sweet fortified wines, the remaining wineries making other wine styles are renowned around the world for their quality and character. Indeed, Sicilian wineries are famed for their ability to capture something of the sun-drenched region in their wines, and the vines they cultivate benefit enormously from the almost constant sunshine and the incredibly fertile volcanic soils which typify the island.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

Proactive versus Reactive Ergonomics
What number would make you realize that your REACTIVE ergonomics program is an expensive choice and it is not working? The money spent on this type of ergonomics program is coming directly out of the bottom-line profits!
Healthy furniture, proactive ergonomics, which also involve an initial investment cost, aim to reduce or eliminate the cause of the problem. It is a well-known fact, that in business, you have to spend money to make money. Ergonomic programs are a good investment as you are spending money to save money in workers' compensation. If they are going to focus on the bottom line, workers' compensation costs must be considered.
Here are a few tips for choosing ergonomics services wisely:
1. Find a well-rounded ergonomics consultant and/or firm. There are different aspects of ergonomics. Ergonomics involves workstation analysis, correcting the problems identified, and training. Many people are skilled at identification of problems, but are unable to motivate changes in behavior due to a lack in their training skills. Industrial ergonomics involve a deep knowledge of your industry.
Generalized ergonomics programs do not have enough specific information to achieve the desired results. Make sure you hire someone that knows your business and your needs.
2. Referrals. Word of mouth is typically the best reference of all. Ask potential ergonomics consultants or firms for referrals, and be sure to call them!
3. Front-Door To Back-Door Service. Ergonomics is not a one-time shot in the arm. It involves empowering an organization to establish an ergonomics culture that will live on, long after the consultant leaves. Make sure the company you choose is capable of delivering these services and empowering your organization. Don't take ergonomics services from a company just because they offer them as part of their coverage, for free. You will only be getting what you paid for! Make sure they are qualified ergonomists and that the program will provide you with results. If they can't help you with all your ergonomic needs, from start to finish, you'll only outsource this service and pay later!
4. Empowerment. Make sure the ergonomics consultant or firm helps you develop and grow so that when they are finished, the program doesn't just fall on its face, but rather continues to grow and success is evident.

Aries Mom Horoscope: October 29 – November 4
Is raising a family putting a strain on your savings? Don't despair, Aries mama. Monday's full moon in Taurus lights up your second house of work and money, helping you manifest the fruits of your labor. This lunar event is the culmination of your efforts over the last six months, so if you've been working toward a goal, be it seeking a new place of employ, attracting a big name client, or selling one of your creative ideas, this could be your week. But just as you encourage your kids to go after their dreams, don't rest on your laurels waiting for a cash cow to show up on your doorstep. Take full advantage of this lucrative lunar energy, and mark the next two weeks for taking action. If you've been a stay-at-home mom but want to reintegrate into the workforce, step up your job-seeking efforts: network online and in real time, circulate your resume, or research upgrading your skill set. If your credit cards have been getting too much use, simplify. Do some serious number crunching to scale back your spending and get you back in the black. You're typically not one to mince words, Ram, and with communicator Mercury moving into straight-shooting Sagittarius on Monday, your truth might be too much for some folks to handle. Sure, honesty is the name of the game when it comes to your babes, Aries momma, but when dealing with the grown-ups in your world think twice before calling exactly like you see it. Otherwise, you'll have quite the mess to deal with next week when Mercury moves into a three-week retrograde period of crossed wires and mixed messages. Are you heading out to Trick-or-Treat with your little ones, or are you on door duty doling out the goods? The moon moves into light-hearted Gemini that evening, bringing out your inner Ram. You don't need to break the bank to get your silly on—a multi-colored wig or a pair of whiskers will do the job nicely.

TAMPA, FL -- You might not know, but today is often referred to as "Black Tuesday" by deal bloggers (like myself) as it marks the official kickoff for the big Memorial Day deals.
Between today and this Friday, every major deal on the market will be in place, jam-packed with savings.
By now you probably know that I detest throwing around the term "Black Friday" when it's not in fact the day after Thanksgiving, but since today replicates all of the price drops we'll see in November, I have no reservations putting it to you.
I'll be posting the rest of the big Memorial Day deals as they continue to drop around the clock. You're welcome to follow me at Twitter for those deals. [Twitter.com/mattgranite]

So I am fairly technical but I do not understand how Upload & Download works, clearly.
I have a 45Mbps Download & 4Mbps Upload connection. Despite whatever speed I have for Upload, whenever I am uploading, I can't do anything. Browsing, chating or anything is completely slow, almost to the point where things don't load at all.
Why? Upload is not connected to Download? Or is it....and how does it affect it so much...am I the only one and this is some weird setting I need to change? WTF?
Best Answer +warwagon , 21 September 2013 - 17:40
I'm going to copy a response from another forum
When you surf on the internet, you make DNS requests, connect to the sites you are about to visit, etc. These are all small uploads to the sites. And when you download something from those sites be it a picture or a page, you always send an acknowledgment packet for every data packet they send to you.
When you upload and surf at the same time, if you are uploading with all bandwidth available to you, your computer may not be able to send these aforementioned packets fast enough and so your download speed drops down.


text: (Puyallup Fairgrounds) As far as American Idol people go, Carrie Underwood is up there in my book, mostly because I have heard of her (my extensive knowledge of the show includes Kelly Clarkson, the closeted-Manilow-esque ginger, Ruben something, William Hung, and a whole bunch of white handsomes with hair). BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY because she is responsible for the song "Before He Cheats." Never mind the fact that this lady-centric cheat-revenge anthem was written by two dudes; if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing someone bleat this jaded gem out at karaoke, you simply haven't lived (in a sorority) (zing!). Seriously, though, folks, her voice muscles are above average and the fair is the perfect place to get your nu country on.
