Curing is cheaper than caring.
The Wall Street bailouts have left no money for healthcare reform.
John F. Kennedy did it with the moon. Let's see Obama create a missile defense shield that works.
It happily breaks from Batman's nihilism and Star Wars's determinism, calling forth JFK's optimism.
Obama's White House reminds Reagan and Bush aide Jim Pinkerton of U.S. Grant's.

Other pluses include a six foot work surface to spread out your crap stuff (so much for the idea of getting rid of desks in hotel rooms which we, personally, didn�t think was such a hot idea), upgraded WiFi, an iPod docking station, Aveda toiletries, and PURE allergy-free rooms that, once in place, are maintained to be 99.9% allergen-free by doing all sorts of stuff that we really approve of, like applying a semi-permanent barrier on all surfaces to kill bacteria (and other people�s cooties) and having a medical-grade air purification system.
The spa-like bathrooms have rainforest shower heads, backlit mirrors and accent wall coverings featuring a custom collage of historic events in Washington from 1940 to 1970. Artwork capturing glimpses of Washington, DC�s history pop in the guest rooms in the form of presidential profiles, signatures, and the city�s original design plans of Pierre Charles L�Enfant.
We found rates in March for a King or Double room around the $199 mark or, for a PURE Room, around $259.

It was once written, "a nation crumbles when people support the tyrants who enslave them," meaning no resistance.
Having lived seven decades and seeing the changes in America is like watching a movie with a bad ending. There is no more "tomorrow is another day" and off to Tara for us. No Chicken Little here, just the way it is.
Many citizens become willing to give up their freedom to a government that will take care of them for their vote, of course. Those standing against are vilified with voices silenced, or worse. If you think this is an exaggeration or no big problem, consider which side that puts you on.
An even worse enslavement: Our younger generation growing up thinking that the debauchery we find ourselves in is normal thanks to the media, the entertainment and education system. There was a time when most parents protected the innocence of their children, but no more. Daughters are given over to breeding children for income. Others, barely in their teens, are allowed to emulate the dress and lifestyles of the slutty millionaire entertainers. (Yes, slutty.)
And then there's the infanticide of abortion.
America has been far from perfect, but at least there was once a fear of the living God and basic morality. And now, many people find ourselves in a world turned upside down, wondering how it happened.
If you think this is an exaggeration or no big problem, consider which side that puts you on.

[Page 32] Jan 186418th Monday--Receipted for team & wagon, &c. Dr. Mintzer left this morning & I entered fully upon duty in charge of Gen. Hosp. Moved into Hosp in PM. Supped in new quarters. Four of the men mess in old q[uarte]rs. Dr. Rolls[61] on duty as ward Surgeon does not attend sufficiently well to the wounded-- Is not critical in examination. Told him he could be relieved if he chose. Col. Robinson sent Order to report no. of horses, in use. We have 2+1+2+ 3 mules. Daniels--Chief nurse. Did not go to Prayer meeting.[Page 33]19th Weather cool--snow fell a little last night--cloudy all day but not freezing much. Spent nearly all forenoon in ward trying to put things in order--Dr. Rolls is not an efficient surgeon, & I could get along better without him. Sat for a portrait--artist Wilkes[62] a Hollander of the 4th U.S. Cavalry. He is a ready painter.20th Milder weather, freezes nights but thaws during the day. Dr. Rolls relieved from duty at Hospital--Dr. T[rowbridge] will take his place. An alarm was raised, that Carters force had attacked our men at Hickory Creek bridge.[63] Col. Gilbert returns--sick. I hope to go home ere long.Notes[61] James F. Rolls was Assistant Surgeon to the 23rd Missouri Infantry. [62] At this time the 4th U.S. Cavalry was stationed at La Grange, Tennessee, 340 miles from McMinnville. It is unlikely that Wilkes belonged to this regiment, and Bennitt himself later identifies the soldier-artist as being in the 15th U.S. Infantry. [63] Hickory Creek flows just south of McMinnville before joining the Collins River. There were two railroad bridges that crossed the creek one mile and again three miles south of the town. Captain Joe Carter was the leader of a group of Confederate irregular cavalry (or to Union troops, guerrillas or bushwhackers). On January 20 his force attacked the garrison at Tracy City, about 33 miles south of McMinnville.

The 2008 Silver Swan Conservation Project - week 4
Day 16 - 22 September
To date the fish cam has been dismantled and this week is being cleaned and photographed. This is a relatively simple mechanism and is in amazingly good condition with most of its original parts. These comprise the tracks on which the fish sit, mounts, rollers, levers and the cam.
During the dismantling process various interesting discoveries have been made. Four of the seven rollers have another roller attached; one supposition from this is that four of the seven fish swam in an opposite direction to the rest.
Also, there are more screw holes than fish on the tracks; it is possible that there may have been more attachments, perhaps more fish or ornaments in the form of flowers or reeds.
On Friday Karen was looking for a quicker solution to clean the Silver neck rings, unfortunately this is not possible and so the neck rings will be given a basic clean until a later date.
Day 17 - 23 September
Yesterday a third of the fish cam was cleaned. This is the best preserved part of the whole object. Matthew has recognized that the mechanism appears never to have been taken apart therefore it is possibly untouched since the 1770s when it was made.
Meanwhile Karen will carry on with documenting the whole project, which is now in its fourth week. Keeping an accurate record of the conservation, which includes the labelling of over 1,000 pieces, is vital.
It has been decided that in the third week in October, the removal of the main springs, which allow the Silver Swans neck to move, will
take place at Durham University.
Day 18 - 24 September
Yesterday Matthew finished cleaning the fish cam. He is now looking to take apart the modern stop-start mechanism and accessible parts of the main driving system. Matthew will be also making a plan of how the cam, fish and neck work.
Meanwhile Karen is documenting the whole process and packing up the spare silver, i.e. leaves, for long term storage.
Day 19 - 25 September
Yesterday every piece of the main driving movement apart from neck was removed, photographed and measured. The neck will be dismantled next Wednesday.
Today Matthew will clean the mechanism and Karen will keep documenting.
Miles Campbell who is here for today only will survey the 1970's frame that the Silver Swan sits on at present.
Day 20 - 26 September
Yesterday, Miles Campbell surveyed the frame that the Silver Swan sits on, Matthew cleaned the head and neck operating mechanism and Karen photographed and documented them.
Today will see the cleaning of the remaining 76 Silver neck rings by Karen which is a very time consuming job.

Simply elegant, these freshwater cultured pearl earrings feature luminous oval pearls delicately held with sterling silver wires for the perfect finishing touch.
These are exactly as described. The pearls are a good size with a nice, medium luster. My pair had light spotting as stated in the description, but it is not noticeable unless you look closely. I did have to stretch out the hook backing because I had difficulty getting them on my ears (and I have small lobes, too!). One of the pearls was drilled/glued on slightly off center, but this isn't noticeable once on the ear. Overall, very nice earrings!
Anonymous, San Diego, CA – August 2013
I bought these earrings to wear for my wedding. The quality is great and I was impressed with how quickly I received them in the mail. I am now considering buying my fiances wedding band from them as well.
Anonymous, Covington, KY – June 2013
I love my new earrings! The pearls are really white. They are better than I expected!

I also find this video very disturbing. This is a cruel way to kill an animal. I can't imagine how much pain this creature was in with it's entire weight pulling on the hook. This video should be removed.

It's 2012, and you are promoting a video from 1934? Your video is subtitled 'Daring Anglers'?! Looks like a bunch of Goodyear accountants to me. Are you that lacking in creativity that you had to dig up anything with sharks in it to promote on your website? Why promote the torture of an animal from 78 years ago? Someone at Smithsonian.com seems a bit out of touch to me. This is a pathetic video and should be removed.
Posted by Kevin Connor on December 20,2012 | 06:27 AM
These might be your top vids for 2012, but THE top vid is the soldier who returned to find his son (who I believe has cerebral palsy) had learned to walk and walks toward him.

This video might be popular but, even though I have a shark phobia, is one of the most disgustingly cruel films of cruelty to animals I have ever seen and i feel sad that those people could "glory" in it

Photo Crystal Marbles Maker by SpaceRay http://www.filterforge.com/filters/10754.html |
Posted: June 22, 2012 3:20 am | ||||
Hello, I have seen in others places crystal balls made with images inside and I wanted to make my own ones, and as there is no filter already made in the library, I have made it and want to share it with you all.
You can load your photo, image, texture or whatever and use the presets to modify it or customize it with the settings. Please, read the About text in the filter This filter would not have been possible without the help of: Tergiet and his Marvelous Marbles filter Inujima and his Spherical Projection filter Thanks very much Tergiet and Inujima for making this two great and well done filters. |
Posted: June 22, 2012 3:26 am | ||||
There are LOTS of possible fillings for you own crystal marbles
NOT FORCED TO USE ONLY SQUARE IMAGES OR PHOTOS The source images does NOT need to be square, you can load irregular or rectangular images, the only problem that you will have is that in the preview will be larger, but the ball will keep the same. |
Posted: June 22, 2012 3:32 am | ||||
If you have any suggestion or idea to make this filter better, please feel free to put it here, as is open to other possible ideas. |
Posted: June 22, 2012 3:37 am | ||||
This looks very cool.
Only thing I may want is a clarity control. Right now the sphere itsef is kinda murky, which is cool for some things, but not for others. I haven't looked inside the filter yet, so I don't have any suggestions of how to do it. I do like the reflections on it, and that everything looks INSIDE the glass, and not ON the glass |
Posted: June 22, 2012 4:03 am | ||||
Thanks Morgantao, glad you like it.
Yes, You are right I will add a clarity control, if I can make it to work right, as now I have tried it and applying contrast or levels it looses the reflections and 3D effect, so I will see how to make it. In this filter is very important to use all the available settings in the Lighting tab to get the best results, as I tried to make the best looking presets but perhaps can be made better.
Yes, exactly, that is the effect I wanted, as others I have seen have the photo as it was glued to the glass and does not look as crystal ball, I have tried three different ways to make it and finally decided to make it like this. |
Posted: June 22, 2012 4:10 am | ||||
I took the crystal ball to a fortune teller to tell me what the future holds.
She said it must be broken because all she keeps seeing are the letters H and U... |
Posted: June 22, 2012 5:47 am | ||||
Only the letters H and U?, I do not know what this could mean
Well I have asked another fortune teller, and she has told me that sees a beautiful and cute happy cat that is kind and very good in what he does. |
Posted: June 22, 2012 8:32 am | ||||
The ball has been made with my filter here |
Posted: June 22, 2012 8:34 am | ||||
And here a cute white baby polar bear |
Posted: June 22, 2012 8:43 am | ||||
The HU ball is also your filter. I imagine you also found the original image on google images |
Posted: June 22, 2012 8:58 am | ||||
I am sorry, but you are wrong, this is a photo of my neighbour that is a fortune teller, I just made a quick visit to her Juicy orange Marble |
Posted: June 22, 2012 10:09 pm | ||||
Good idea this filter SR |
Posted: June 22, 2012 11:26 pm | ||||
Another example |
Posted: June 22, 2012 11:28 pm | ||||
I dare you to knock out 20% of those nodes and get exactly the same thing | |||
Posted: June 23, 2012 3:12 am | ||||
Nice examples Ghislaine, by the way, as I have said in the the text in the about tab, if want you can colorize and change the black color of the background ball.
If you select in the Lighting settings tab the "Lighting Elements: ambience" by only selecting with the mouse the outer round circle fr om the inner ball, you can colorize and change the colors of the marble, see preset 3 that has been done this way in green. Although is only a shade of the color and not the full color as it would look bad on the full color and not shiny at all. Here below I have used one of your Spirograms creations inside the crystal ball
Oh yes, of course that it surely can be done, as I did not optimize the filter and have just made it to work right but there are nodes that could be replaced or merged to make the same thing, but really do not have the expert knowledge that many of you experienced Filter Forgers have to know how to do it yet, I am still learning. |
Posted: June 23, 2012 11:42 am | ||||
And here below is with my own spirography filter (thanks to the uberzev great creation of the base)
And I want to note with this example one thing, and that is that if you want to make the photo or image source less curved or possibly distorted you just need to enlarge the canvas size and fill it with similar colors and so they will be wrapped better in the inside ball. |

Thanks Sharandra.
I will see a way to optimize this and give more control settings on the colors and shadows when it is too white or too shiny. |

OH!! Thanks very much for optimizing the filter and get rid of the components not needed, I tried to optimize it as suggested by Skybase, but do not have enough knowledge to do it.
Again Thanks, I will see how you have the optimization so I can learn more. |

Would this be considered trolling?
In general the way the sphere is being made is pretty awesome, it works as is. But in some ways we can take further steps back to yield similar results with less nodes. This method unfortunately produces repeating patterns on the edges of ball, but part of it can be compensated by cropping the image in with black (as the original filter had that going on.) This filter also takes into account image sizes so if the user feeds something that's non square, it'll deal with it and put the sphere in the center of that image. In the past when we wanted circles we had to build it fr om scratch. But there are many cases wh ere we would rather do that instead of using 2.0~ nodes. So the idea here is "optimal" but it doesn't mean it's a better solution for what you may be going after. While many of the features are missing, the basis result is close. CLOSE. not quite there but CLOSE. |

I am open to different ways of making the same thing as there is NOT only one way, and if another alternative way is better, is welcomed.
I will try both new optimizations and see them how they work. Thanks
YES, this was a problem in the beginning and in the first tests it did not work, so I had to do it in another way and modify the inner proyection so non-square images could not get weird and unwanted results. |

Of eras and seats, movie and soaps. We've got it all
Sometime in our dotage, we'll be sitting around before a dinner, nibbling on Gouda and sipping on a robust red, and we'll harken back to last night as the end of an era, I'm sure.
A short era – four years is hardly a Ming Dynasty – but for all the talk about the Celtics wanting to come back and take one more run, with Doc Rivers surprising many with his unequivocal (for now) desire to return, that team in that form has to be done.
It was amazing, and in some parts sad, to watch them fumble and stumble down the stretch of the last two games, throwing the ball away, missing shots, giving up easy ones and looking like a team that had never been there before rather than one with a championship to its credit and another appearance in the final under its belt.
Give the Heat full credit for performing when it most mattered, that finish by LeBron last night was one for ages, just as Dwyane Wade's first half was.
But that series was as much about Boston as it was Miami and it was stunning how poorly they finished. I don't know if it was solely age catching up to them, or Rondo being a shadow of himself or their lack of depth finally being an issue but from the time they started playing Game 1, I don't think there were many who felt secure that the Celtics had what it would take. Turned out they didn't.
Now, I can see them having another good regular season – those veterans know how to play and Doc knows how to get the most out of them over the long grind – but as legitimate title contenders? Unless they find some youth and big men and athleticism, they are going to go farther downhill more quickly.
I would think that what has transpired since 2007 will have been worth it to the team's fans and the franchise's bottom line but I wonder how people will feel if a championship drought kicks in.
Know what made me laugh?
When I was listening to the live steam of the post-game stuff from Miami and I heard Chris lauding the fans for being great and thanking the city for being into the game.
Hope he wasn't addressing the many, many empty seats we all saw at the start.
I know they mostly got filled and the audience was loud in the final couple of minutes but I guarantee that nowhere else – okay, perhaps Atlanta – would fans be that late getting to games.
Not sure how many of you remember or experienced, but there's a greater "buzz" around an arena in the minute leading up to a basketball playoff game than there is for almost any other court.
It's probably the size of the playing surface and proximity of the fans who stand around and watch warm-ups but it's just more exciting than, say, hockey or baseball, the two other sports I have first-hand experience at.
Okay, confession time, don't tell anyone.
Was glancing at the front page of our website sometime yesterday afternoon and in he "must reads" part this story about the daytime Emmys was featured prominently.
Now, these days my white-noise-afternoon-TV tends to focus on Criminal Minds (highly recommended) and CSI (highly over-acted in the Miami end of things) but there was a day way back in another universe that …
Well, let's just say I wonder if the Dastardly and Dysfunctional Quartermains are still around and I don't know that Kate and whatshisname have much on Luke and Laura when it comes to weddings.
So, they did the all-rookie teams yesterday (the official release is here) and I guess the coaches got it right.
I do know this, though: Ed Davis will use it for fuel someone.
He's always been about the snub, somehow driven by slights real and perceived, and I bet when he gets wind of the fact he was left off even the second team, it'll make that day's workout just a little bit more intense.
Can't imagine it'll mean much once the season starts but it'll bug him now.
Okay, if this works and you see what you want me to see, I've made giant strides figuring out this interweb thingy and who knows where we go from here.
I don't do a lot of movies, this one I probably will.
Here's one from the mail:
Q: Hi Dent is oug. Some high finance here. Just wanted to ask: when a team suspends a player, I assume it's to their discretion whether it is with or without pay, and in that case they would likely pocket the money (there's a whole rant here about why they don't suspend players like Alonzo Mourning who refuse to show up... but that's for another mail). But what happens when the league suspends a player? I know that fines go towards charity, but will Bynum's close to $700K that he will forego in salary be "savings" for the Lake-show or does it get paid out to the same league charity fund?
David T, Ottawa
A: Oh, no. The Lakers still have to fork out the money (it, like all fine money goes into a pot for charity administered by the league and the union) and it counts against all cap and tax calculations. They just write a cheque to a different spot.
Oh yeah, night off tonight; there are other pursuits to be taken care of here. Not sure about tomorrow, think that might be dead, too, but we're on board for most, if not all, of the Eastern Conference final since I think I may actually be live in arenas.
Have a nice peaceful evening.
Is that it for the Grizzlies, who gave us a pretty good story for a round and a couple of games? (And, yes, the eyes were open for the entirety, although no real reason they were).
I think so.
I know they were tired after the triple-overtime Game 4 and they didn't get the boost of energy from the home crowd that the Thunder did but I think we're seeing what we thought all along: The team with the better talent is going to win.
I like the Thunder a lot, they defend, they're great in transition, Kevin Durant can score in myriad ways if Russell Westbrook remembers he's on the same team and I'm not sure even the Memphis crowd can make a difference on Friday night.
Zach Randolph (and I believe they stopped construction of the statue they were going to put up next to Elvis's) looked old and beaten down last night, Marc Gasol was lumbering and labouring and I believe that one's over.
RIP Robert Traylor.
Never knew him but people I know who did spoke well of him and no one should die at such a young age.
I guess the threat of heart issues goes hand-in-hand with the sheer enormity of these men and those who tend to let the weight go late in their careers or after they're done would seemingly be more susceptible and it's a very sad tale we hear too often.

Posted: Jan 29, 2013 10:34 AM by Associated Press
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A woman and her boyfriend have been arrested after police found an 8-year-old developmentally disabled girl locked in a wooden cage in the couple's mobile home.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Monday that officers checking on the girl's welfare found her in the cage the size of a crib, and that she was left in it while the rest of the family went to a movie.
Authorities say 33-year-old Cindy Patriarchias of Las Cruces and 37-year-old Edmond Gonzales remained in custody Tuesday after being arrested Friday evening.
Patriarchias is charged with negligently causing child abuse, and Gonzales with negligently permitting child abuse. Court records indicate they appeared in court Monday but haven't yet entered pleas.
A police spokesman says Patriarchias has been trying to adopt the girl.

Approximately 42 million Americans provide unpaid care to an ill or disabled adult and new research shows the stress associated with this responsibility can have a negative effect on a person's health.
Express Scripts research paired an analysis of prescription claims with a telephone survey of more than 12,000 commercially-insured Americans ages 18 to 65, and discovered use of medications to treat stress-related conditions, including high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and ulcers, is higher among caregivers. In fact, the use of anti-anxiety medications is 29 percent greater with caregivers compared to non-caregivers.
"As a member of the 'sandwich generation' I know first-hand how hard it can be to care for everyone who needs you, including yourself," says Paul Reyes, Express Scripts' pharmacist and host of the Ask the Pharmacist radio series. "But if your role as a caregiver negatively impacts your own health, no one benefits."
Caregivers are the unsung heroes of our healthcare system, helping many people live with dignity within their community. With the demand for caregivers expected to increase as baby boomers reach age 65 (the 65+ age group is expected to top 70 million in 2030), it's important that caregivers know how to prevent their important role from deteriorating their own health.
Reyes offers these tips for caregivers to keep their health on track:
* Practice healthy habits: Daily exercise and a good night's sleep can reduce stress and improve health. Those with a busy lifestyle can start small by building in five to 10 minutes of physical activity into their day and going to bed a few minutes earlier each night.
* Make personal time a priority: Set aside time every day - even a few minutes - to socialize with family and friends, read or meditate. If your loved one receives Medicare or Medicaid services, speak with a caseworker about respite resources for extended time off.
* Don't ignore depression: Understand what signals signs of depression: continuous low mood, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, neglecting hobbies and unexplained aches and pains. If you think you may be depressed, talk to your doctor immediately and consider caregiving support groups or professional counseling.
* Use online resources: At Express Scripts, their website and mobile app can make managing prescriptions for you and your patient easier, and reduce the administrative burden associated with care-giving. Home delivery can be a convenient way to receive medications and ensure you don't miss a dose, and specialist pharmacists, who understand your unique needs, can provide additional support and counsel for you and your loved one.
* Don't do it alone: Talk with your family members, friends, neighbors, your religious community or local civic organizations like the Boy and Girl Scouts of America - about available support services. The Department of Health and Human Services has an online resource to help connect caregivers with locally available support services.

Available options may differ from photo. Design by Paolo Rizzatto, 1992. For reading, working, conversing, writing, resting or meditating. The on-off switch is controlled by the rod attachment. The light and washable silk screened polycarbonate shade rests on two points of balance and is therefore capable of oscillating if bumped, and it produces a warm and pleasant diffused light. Its unmistakable, slim but structurally solid structure fits naturally into any interior. The rotational brush treatment of its natural aluminum square base emphasizes the quality and distinction of this material.

Simply great design with function!
I just love the design and fits any decor in your house. By:Toshi S. , Designer (NYC)
This lamp is both stylish and functional. In a small city apartment it takes up very little room and provides lighting fit for both accents and reading as a table lamp. It blends into any environment and enhances it. An excellent buy for a touch of Italian style. By:satisfied customer , Renter (washington dc)
most elegant lamp in the world
i own many designer lamps. my love of lamps goes along with an unhealthy love of shoes. this little gem makes me smile every time i 'flip' it on. By:sigrid P. , Homeowner (usa)
Clean, simple design and great light.
I like this lamp so much that I bought several of them. The design is simple and functional. The shade gives a very nice glow. I particularly like the orange one, which gives a warm ambiance. The shade rests on pivot points and is made of polycarbonate, making a light structure, thinner than glass would be. By:pargnt , Homeowner (Las Vegas, NV)
Great Lamp!
I really love this lamp. It has a simple, clean, and contemporary design with solid construction. It is fairly small, but still provides plenty of light. By:Dan B , Homeowner (Seattle, WA)
Great little lamp
Sleek and minimal, the Constanzina Table Lamp is well made and beautiful. By:jacob , Homeowner (USA)
great looking lamp
Already have a Constanza lamp. The Constanzina looks even better. Love it. By:jakline , Homeowner (Palo Alto, CA, USA)
Simple and Lovely
As I type this review, the Costanzina Table Lamp is providing me soft light, which is nice, considering I am in a basement. The lamp is constructed very simply and it is very easy to put together. I love this lamp because it plays its role of a lamp: beautiful light, isn't complicated, and fits into any environment. By:Mark P. , Homeowner (Kansas)
simple and elegant
i have used this product in several homes i have also installed it in countertops. Easy to put together, easy on off switch , handsome desigh. By:Holly M. , Designer (new york new york)
Perfect for small spaces
Have used as lighting on small console tables. Great simple design and gives good accent light By:Gretel C. , Designer (New York, NY)
Creates a stunning, warm glow
Beautiful lamp. The base is carefully engineered and executed with sharp clean lines and excellent proportions. The shade in daylight is a warm persimmon color, and when turned on, glows with subtle warmth. This small version is perfect for the dimensions of a Manhattan apartment, but the larger table lamp and floor lamp would be good choices for larger rooms. By:Ms838 , Renter (New York, NY)
This is an excellent small lamp, attractive but not showy, which uses ordinary bulbs, emits a diffused light and has an easy on off switch.
I now have four of these lamps, two in the living room and two in a bedroom. The light they emit is diffused through an opaque white plastic shade, and is suitable for reading as well as for ambient light. They are minimalist in profile and a very clean design. I am enamored with the on/off switch which is a great improvement over in line switches and minimal visually. Small in size, they are unobtrusive yet emit 60 w of light. I recommend them heartily. By:Barbara M.
great table lamp!
When I first unpacked the box and saw the shade was a "bend it yourself" I was a little concerned! By:David M. , Architect (Philadelphia, PA)
great blue lamp!
The simplicity of this lamp's design makes it a true representative of modern Italian design. Simple forms and materials, crafted into a beautifully proportioned piece of art and utility! By:Pat H. , Architect (Bryn Mawr PA) Free Shipping. Price Guarantee. Easy Returns. It's good to shop at YLighting.At YLighting, we are so confident that the Costanzina Table Lamp in Blue -Open Box will make you happy that we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and our 100% Price Guarantee.

Alright college students, enough is enough.
Time to log off of Facebook, close Reddit — admit it, you have been browsing those sites in class all semester — and get outside.
It's spring break — explore a little.
While South Florida may be known internationally for its beaches and nightclub scene, there is plenty more to do aside from toasting under the sun and visiting the trendiest mainstream venues.
Dive bars in Little Haiti and Wynwood offer drink specials, including beer as cheap as $2, live music and open-mic nights. Homestead restaurants offer authentic Mexican dishes, such as fajitas and enchiladas, while a new Southern cuisine restaurant in Coral Gables showcases the pig. And for those shopping on a budget or looking for styles that cannot be found at the mall, Palmetto Bay consignment store The Recycled Closet and North Miami Beach vintage shop The Rabbit Hole may be the answer. Finally, a walking tour of downtown Miami will show off the area's colorful history and relics that remain from as far back as when railroad magnate Henry Flagler commissioned the building of the Royal Palm Hotel in Miami.
From cultural experiences to shopping and dining, activities in South Florida abound, leaving college students with an array of choices on what to do during their week off.
The Night Scene
Happy hour is a must for many spring breakers who are 21 and older.
And why shouldn't it be?
It is an easy way to catch up with friends from other schools and meet new people without breaking the bank.
Gramps, at 176 NW 24th St. in Wynwood, and Churchill's Pub, at 5501 NE Second Ave. in Little Haiti, are known for laid-back atmosphere and great prices. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday through Sunday, Gramps offers $2 off all drinks, which translates to beers such as Budweiser and Miller High Life selling for $2.
Missed happy hour the first time? No problem.
Late-night happy hour runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday from midnight to 3 a.m.
At Churchill's, domestic draft beers sell for $2.50 during the day and $3.50 at night, and imported drafts are $3.50 during the day and $6 at night.
But both venues offer a lot more than drink specials. At Churchill's, there is live music seven days a week. Over the years, the likes of Social Distortion and Iggy Pop have played at the Little Haiti bar.
"It's a little hole in the wall that not many people know about, but once you do, it's a gem," said Justina Nanes, human resources manager, about Churchill's. "If you come here, you'll be one of the locals."
And Thursday is karaoke night at Gramps. During spring break, Gramps will host day parties from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on March 22 and March 23, with live music, food and, of course, booze.
Patron Justin Long, 32, says he enjoys coming to Gramps because of the music and drinks.
"It's become the artist hangout in Miami," Long said.
Dining Out
By this point in the semester, the idea of fast food and cafeteria food is getting old.
And believe it or not, while your mother may be the best cook in town, there are plenty of places in South Florida to get comfort food.
If you are looking for Southern comfort food in particular, then check out Swine Southern Table & Bar, 2415 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Coral Gables' newest spot.

Medical history: Compiling your medical family tree
Your family medical history provides insight into the conditions that are common in your family. Use this history to give you clues about your risk of disease.
By Mayo Clinic staffYour family medical history, sometimes called a medical family tree, is a record of illnesses and medical conditions affecting your family members. Here's why a family medical history comes in handy — and how to create a family medical history of your own.
How is a family medical history used?
You inherit half of your genetic profile from each parent. Along with the genetic information that determines your appearance, you also inherit genes that might cause or increase your risk of certain medical conditions. A family medical history can reveal the history of disease in your family and allow you to identify patterns that might be relevant to your own health.
Your doctor might use your family medical history to:
- Assess your risk of certain diseases
- Recommend treatments or changes in diet or other lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of disease
- Determine which diagnostic tests to order
- Determine the type and frequency of screening tests
- Determine whether you or family members should get a specific genetic test
- Identify a condition that might not otherwise be considered
- Identify other family members who are at risk of developing a certain disease
- Assess your risk of passing conditions on to your children
A family medical history can't predict your future health. It only provides information about risk. Other factors — such as your diet, weight, exercise routine and exposure to environmental factors — also affect your risk of developing certain diseases.
What's the best way to gather family medical information?
Your family might want to work together to develop a family medical history. Consider kicking off the project at a family gathering, such as a holiday or reunion. Keep in mind, however, that some loved ones might be uncomfortable disclosing personal medical information — perhaps due to guilt, shame or a reluctance to face painful memories.
If you encounter reluctance, consider these strategies:
- Share your purpose. Explain that you're creating a record to help you determine whether you and your relatives have a family history of certain diseases or health conditions. Offer to make the medical history available to other family members so that they can share the information with their doctors.
- Provide several ways to answer questions. Some people might be more willing to share health information in a face-to-face conversation. Others might prefer answering your questions by phone, mail or email.
- Word questions carefully. Keep your questions short and to the point.
- Be a good listener. As your relatives talk about their health problems, listen without judgment or comment.
- Respect privacy. As you collect information about your relatives, respect their right to confidentiality.

text: it amazes me that there isn't some override to allow you to play the full charts. the variable difficulty that adjusts to your playing sounds like a good idea, but it has to have some configurability to work. i'm not even sure if it's a good way to learn guitar. the only way to get better at something is to consistently work at things you CAN'T already do. if you're really bad at, say, alt-picking, and every time the game "levels up" to where you have to alt-pick and you end up failing and dropping back down in difficulty, will you ever learn to alt-pick? you need to spend a considerable amount of time practicing the same technique over and over to pick up that technique, if the game keeps on dropping you down to a lower level, you'll never pick it up, or at least you won't pick it up nearly as quickly as you should. it's like lifting weights, if you only ever pick up a 25lb dumbbell, you'll never get strong enough to lift a 30lb dumbbell. you have to occasionally pick up heavier weights to get any stronger. i know this game has those little "mini-games" that are supposed to teach basic skills, but i'm skeptical about those. i know i wouldn't want to play some game where i'm shooting ducks using my guitar. i want to play songs, and i want to be able to play them the correct way, not a dumbed down version. i'd rather play the song correctly and get 70%, and keep on playing it until i get to 80 or 90%, then to learn how to play a simplified version of the song at 100%.

Mahjong Suite breathes new life into the classic card game
Mahjong's foreign design and perceived "mystical" origin may have marginalized it among Western card gamers. But did you know that Americans have been aware of the game since the late 19th Century? The first company to sell Mahjong sets in the U.S. was Abercrombie & Fitch, back in the 1920s. The game proved to be so popular that A&F's founder, Ezra Fitch, sent agents to China to purchase as many Mahjong sets as they could to resell in the U.S..
By the turn of the millennium, Mahjong had already garnered a healthy … Read more

NFL Team Report - Baltimore Ravens - INSIDE SLANT
History suggested the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers would play another nail-biter on Thanksgiving night.
The fierce AFC North rivals followed the script.
Justin Tucker kicked five field goals, and the Ravens held on for a 22-20 win when the Steelers missed a potential game-tying two-point conversion with 1:06 remaining.
Quarterback Joe Flacco completed 24 of 35 passes for 251 yards and one touchdown, leading the Ravens (6-6) to their second win in a row. Baltimore moved within 1 1/2 games of AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals.
The Steelers (5-7) saw their three-game winning streak end.
Ten of the past 12 meetings between Baltimore and Pittsburgh were decided by three points or fewer.
"It's not over when we play the Steelers, it's never over when they play the Ravens," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "That's why these games are so great."
Leading 10-0 at halftime, the Ravens opened the second half with three consecutive scoring drives. Each ended with a field goal from Tucker, who extended his streak to 27 straight, including nine the past two weeks.
After Tucker's 48-yard field goal extended Baltimore's lead to eight points with 5:37 remaining, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger drove the Steelers 79 yards for a score. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger on fourth down.
On the two-point attempt, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was unable to haul in Roethlisberger's pass on the left side of the end zone.
Now the Steelers likely must win their remaining four regular-season games to capture one of the AFC's wild-card playoff berths.
"We'll assess it tomorrow," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said when asked about his team's postseason chances. "Tonight we'll accept responsibility for not doing enough.
Roethlisberger finished 28 of 44 for 257 yards and two touchdowns.
"Joe (Flacco) and I talked about it out there at the end," Roethlisberger said of the close-game frequency between the teams. "Neither one of us can seem to put it away when we play. It's a great rivalry."
Each teams converted over half of its third-down plays.
"We had drives, we extended drives," Harbaugh said after his team finished 10 of 17 on third down. "We didn't always finish them like we wanted to with (touchdowns), but we got points. That was probably the difference in the game."
That and the right-footed accuracy of Tucker, who earlier in the day was selected the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month.
"What more can you say," Harbaugh said. "He's gotten every accolade, and it's been well deserved."

-- segment tonight is president Obama's foreign policy helping or hurting the country simple question complicated issue -- several watching -- Fox News political analyst Charles problem.
So you yeah it not agreeing with me here I mean I think overall I give him an Obama -- First of all let's -- us you heard the Pakistan thing I think the president's got to come out publicly assailant yet -- this -- you said.
I say the Pakistan thing exactly what you said.
Makes my case what's more important in the war on terror you have just said.
We've demonstrated to the -- that anybody on the globe.
Who helps the United States in the war on terror we're gonna abandon.
And they gonna be left out there hanging on only if there are two reasons why this guy's in trouble number one.
The fact as you pointed out the administration.
Has started to represented the king pointed out.
Talks about these operations why because it wants a political.
Credited talks about it and away.
That is unprecedented unconscionable I had to if it -- -- -- if it wasn't a direct Leakey was all they stay there oh yeah so anyway but that was a big mistake that the -- sailor got this guy anyway but it was a big mistake.
And then we'll have but but they got it on our authority from the highest authorities.
Number two another example.
We just had these double agent in Yemen.
Who discovered a new high -- underpants explosive right -- it takes you know and I know that the hardest thing to do an espionage.
He still plans to double agent.
And here we went in because -- administration wanted to dance on Michelin.
And spike in the end zone he -- the guys covered.
He had to be withdrawn.
And we lost all the future information we would've gotten.
That's an operation that could review that information -- -- oh yeah.
It's OK so basically you're saying then that the President Obama is more interceding getting political currency.
From the things that he does well.
Then really advancing the cause of of espionage and intelligence.
Overseas said that he doesn't really care about the long term he just wants to be a self Baghran dies.
I'm not -- saying here and are -- showed it okay all right now.
Right that aside those mistakes aside.
What it is president Obama's biggest foreign policy blunder.
In -- it.
I would put that in the top three the other two are.
-- in 2009 we were given a historic.
And I'm deserves historic opportunity.
-- -- biggest adversary in the world in the region particularly in the Middle East.
Iran was hanging by a thread the regime is and by a thread how popular revolution we had nothing to do -- Erupted here what's it -- opportunity.
To change the entire strategic relationship in the Middle East and what did Obama do he did nothing what should he have done.
What -- what should we have done that first of our nation has spoken out on behalf of the demonstrate -- decision and all right out and said we support.
The people who are going up against the mall as we support that what else but he did worse than that.
He actually supported the mowers for that reason that he wanted to keep the regime in our office in power so you got somebody to negotiate with.
On the nuclear program under the assumption that because he is who he is that he could sweet talk of the arriving in -- bullish doesn't make any sense Charles.
Why would he want a pro western government if that's what took over making a lot easier to negotiate.
Nuclear then with these crazy miles.
That is exactly the question that history is gonna ask him.
How could there have been graffiti in the street.
By the democratic demonstrators who were getting shot and tortured that says Obama which side are you want.
That's the secret as he had done except -- -- -- -- could have done a lot of things rhetoric is one thing and not to support legitimacy of the regime.
Clandestine operations why do we have fifty.
Billion dollars in secret operations in the CIA.
If not for an opportunity right for this he was hands off he didn't mean nothing and we -- one of the great opportunities in history.
And the other policy I would look at is Russia.
The famous reset.
This is where he gave Russia everything they want it.
-- nuclear treaty -- -- any and they wanted.
They got accession to the World Trade Organization they've -- for that for years and they got a complete cancellation.
Of the missile defense system we had worked out.
Under the bush administration of the polls in the checks.
So he cancels it without even telling the -- wouldn't get an advance.
Don't even really thought -- -- -- got nothing -- given on the drone strike.
I've given him the -- and give them a.

My computer works again, my classes are (nearly) done with, just four exams and I'm free. School tends to get in the way of everything.
Honestly, before the new Coldplay songs started coming out, I was expecting something similar to Viva La Vida (heavier of course, and with more guitar, but the string instruments, the harmonies, the epic feel. Since Coldplay has secured that feel of song now, I am now fully expecting something even more grand in 2009. BHaR has an "epic" feel to it, and I don't think Muse is going to leave that behind.


text: 19 September 2010 archive Tweet See all show photos PR people wearing headsets and spritzing Jo Malone high in the air, a smattering of celebs to get the paparazzi party started - Cat Deeley, Olivia Palermo, Alan Carr - unusually - and a pregnant, leopard print-clad Rachel Stevens who hopped in just before the show began - opera streaming from the speakers, pink Martinis and the classical surrounds of Banqueting House on Whitehall: the new, grown-up Julien Macdonald is all about atmosphere. Cut to the first look and his woman is just as body-perfect as ever, but he treats her more gently these days - wrapping her in feather-light chiffon frills hemmed with antique lace and cut with panels of his signature webbing. Two big New York trends made a strong appearance here - cream as the summer's strongest tone, and multiple layers of light fabric, though to be fair any woman in Macdonald may well need a few layers to ensure coverage of all particulars next season. Striped mattress ticking fabric made for sterner stuff - trench-style jackets and little tailored shorts with zipped pockets had nice heavy metal work fastening the straps that adorned them - and summer jackets of wide appliqué are for Macdonald fans for whom a wisp of chiffon or two does not an outfit make. True romance took over when billowing dresses featured faded floral prints of orange and yellow, pink and blue, indigo and grey in a newly pretty move that had editorial potential all over it. Appliqué lace details and finely pleated chiffon frills had an antique feel that kept things from being too frothy and when a mini version appeared in bright yellow embellished with gold beading, it was clear that Macdonald is going for vintage style where once he was brash. An innocent colour palette and soft frilled dresses - neither of which are naturally associated with this designer - couldn't take away from the sex appeal of this collection though - for the most lithe and perfect of figure, sexy skater dresses, babydolls and spiderweb dresses were as glamorous as they always have been, even without the disco balls.

On reteaching in AsiaFor whatever positive or negative repercussions from previous incarnations, I have found myself included in a university in Asia after some 60 years. I am teaching summer school at Yonsei University in July, but this new experience evoked remembrance of things past ― my China university days. From Dartmouth College, I was among the last batch of American undergraduate exchange students that went to China in 1948-49 in the midst of the Chinese revolution. I was in Lingnan University in Guangzhou (Canton). My two experiences were vastly different ― impossible to compare in most respects. But one element seems similar ― the interest of the families of Asian students in encouraging their children to have local, binding experiences. In the Yonsei case, most of my students are studying in the U.S. but they have families in Korea and are home for the summer to be with their relatives and have a structured academic experience that will earn them credit at their U.S. institutions. Lingnan University was somewhat unique. No summer school or semester ― sea travel took too long. They went to Lingnan because it was in their closest linguistic community ― most Chinese-Western students' parents were from Guangtung. But there was a significant difference. While cultural and familial ties were to be strengthened or reestablished, there was also an ulterior motive. Many Sino-American or Sino-Western males were sent back to continue the Chinese tradition and education ― plus… And that plus was to get married. Overseas Chinese elders often did not want their sons to marry overseas Chinese women ― incomprehensively Westernized. These often well-educated Americanized women were likely to be too independent, lacking in proper daughter-in-law social graces that the elder generation valued, and would not easily adopt the subservient position that a conservative old group expected from a new female family member. So introductions were arranged through the extended family system, matchmakers found, and alliances performed. The male students would then eventually bring back their home-grown brides overseas to continue the traditions that the elders had valued. Even if they didn't speak English, they were entombed within a family structure that deemed that capacity less significant than their familial duties. For Sino-Western women it was somewhat different. Chinese education seemed not devoted to getting married, because mainland-born men might not be able to adapt to overseas living. They might have trouble getting visas and their English was likely to be poor, which meant their earning capacity was probably limited. These female students had no intention of going back to China for the rest of their lives. They wanted modern lives. But their duty was to get re-acculturated into traditional Chinese behavioral norms for proper Chinese brides. They were supposed to have learned what it was to show respect to the family, especially their future mothers-in-law, and to assume roles that they had never learned overseas. It may have been far more painful for them than for their male counterparts. In the Neolithic era of this my life ― my youthful excursion to China ― there was little socially evident or public displays of affection between the students, not that they felt any the less attracted to each other. But social norms were far more stringent and previous socially public relations could affect their marriage possibilities, at least for those women brought up in "good families" ― those from China who could afford to attend such a university. Today, in China or Korea, we live in a different world of public affection. No doubt we are more open and have more individual choices, which at least from my American vantage point is a positive achievement. But Confucian values still dominate both eras ― students are supposed to study. Korean students today are also different from their previous generations. They don't want to marry early. They want careers and independence and however they may define the good life. Korean men and women live modern, professional lives with the independence that befits their educational attainments. Although Korea's birthrate may be down, as a result of late marriages, personal satisfaction may well be up. Age has perhaps tinted my reflections, but the vigor of today at Yonsei, and I assume other Korean universities, so evident in all aspects of student life and in their goals, is contrasted in my mind with the more obviously placid student relationships of that earlier Chinese era ― an era marked by authoritarian control and the activities of the secret police. But the cataclysmic chaos of Chinese society in the midst of profound social and political change at that time beyond the campus also contrasts with the relative calm of Korean political life today beyond Yonsei. No matter how vituperative the language of the Korean public sphere and how ardent the political emotions building up for an election next year, Korean political life has become anchored in a socially accepted process, boding well for political continuity within the changing landscape. This is a far cry from my memories of China past. As China sought revolution, Koreans may seek evolutionary change, but not revolution. Differences across cultures between student life then and now seem as dissimilar in their way as the contrasts in the political sphere. David I.
