Pharaohs of Egypt Head Coach, American Bob Bradley breezed into Dubai with his team on Wednesday morning promising that his team will give the Nigerian side a good game as he has enough youth and experience in the squad to do so.
Bradley, who spoke in the lobby of Samaya Hotel and Resort, where the team is staying with the Super Eagles, was particularly happy that midfielder Mohammed Aboutrika and goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, who earlier announced that they were quitting the national team, have heeded his call and are in the team that will play the international friendly against the Super Eagles.
"Aboutrika is here and he is in good shape, same for El Hadary, because we need their experience to support the young and hungry players that we are grooming for the national team," he said.
On how he has carried on in Egypt, considering the language and cultural diversity between the United States and Egypt, he said he is lucky to have some of his Egyptian assistants that speak good English and he too is learning the Egyptian way very fast.
He ended the chat by saying: "Insha Allah the job here is very challenging but good for football."
The Egyptians like the Super Eagles will have a feel of the turf for the game later on Wednesday evening, when they file out for training at about 7pm Dubai time, which is 4pm Nigerian time.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
ViolaNew YorkBest Bang For My BuckI researched and tried many flat irons before finally ordering my flat iron. I am in love with this one. It does everything I need to flatten my wavy thick hair. Store flat irons don't measure up, it is worth spending the extra little bit to get a much more amazing result!!!posted Jun 10, 2010Link to this post
ToriMost Amazing Flat Iron U Can Buy!i absolutely 100% love this!!!!!!! nothing better! i use it with smooth n' shine straightening polish thermal protectant and also sometimes FHI heat hot sauce. then Alterna Hemp straightening balm. this is an amazing flat iron! i love it it leave my hair silky and it stays even wen its humid out. ive had over 10 flat irons and this is the BEST! the only con is tht the edges r curved a little and it burns ur head when you get really close to the roots. everything else is perfect and i love how the plates move with you hair!posted Jun 9, 2010Link to this post
Sheryl A.New York, NYBest Flat Iron Out There, Better Then Sedu...I have tried many flat irons since I started flat ironing my hair in 2000, all have been top professional flat irons and all more expensive then the Solia, some by hundreds of dollars. Solia beats them all, even the Sedu! The Solia straightens my hair just as quickly and my hair looks more shiny. The Sedu seemed to causing my hair to break after I used it even after I lowered the temp to 260 and I this has not happened with any other flat iron including the Solia and the Solia actually makes my hair look better. The Solia glides right through my hair and doesn't snag or pull the hair at all. I did find that when used to a flat iron like the Sedu or others that are very flat, it takes a little adjusting to get the right movement down for how I do my hair and initially I thought it wouldn't straighten my hair but boy was I wrong! The Solia gives me gorgeous GLOSSY straight hair and is perfect for rounding the ends and making soft curls and waves. If debating, go with Solia!posted Jun 9, 2010Link to this post
BeckySo Good!I have always used cheap flat irons from the drug store and always wanted a really nice one since I flat iron my hair almost everyday. I looked online for about 3 weeks at different flat irons, I talked to the salon where I get mine cut, and watched a ton of reviews on YouTube. I finally decided to get my Solia and I have not been disappointed! It is a fantastic iron especially for the price. I only have to swipe it through once and the job is done. It makes my hair feel fantastic, the swivel cord is wonderful, and the heat proof pad that Folica gives away is so useful. Love, love, love it!posted Jun 8, 2010Link to this post
Chantel G.Peterborough, OntarioMy New Secret Weapon :)Well, after being ripped off by some mall kiosk on a yourstyler... after much review and consideration between a sedu and a solia, I bought the purple solia. It wasn't as heavy as I expected, it was very light. It glides through my hair perfectly, it doesn't snag it, which I was really worried about. The colour itself is amazing, such a nice shade of purple. Heats up incredibly fast compared to my other straighteners and most of all let it very shiny and soft. The biggest seller for me was not snagging my hair as I straightened. Does very nice curls! Amazing product, will totally recommend to other people! Ps. I tried my friends Sedu and I am 100% happy with my Solia choice. The Sedu snagged my hair.posted Jun 4, 2010Link to this post
MeganMississippiA+I used to swear by my Chi iron, but after extended use I found that the excessive heat was damaging my hair. I've owned this iron since December, and I can honestly say I would never go back to my Chi. The heat control is more valuable than you know. It's really helped to repair the damage caused by my last iron. I would recommend this iron to anyone like myself, with wavy/curly hair, who needs some healthy heat-support for taming the unruliness!posted Jun 3, 2010Link to this post
SarahAwesomei loooove this flat iron ive had it about a year now. and no problems so far and im rough on my hair tools. so i would and have recommended this flat iron to others.posted Jun 1, 2010Link to this post
DeeForever Lasting!My daughter got married two years ago moved to New York she really helped me keep my hair up.Our Flat iron (Solia), she took it with her and my hair styler(HER) went with it:( We had that flat iron for over four years can you belive that! Well although I don't do as well blow drying 60 years old and arms don't work so well.The Solia I just brought helps a lot. Even if my blow drying leaves my hair course and yukky the Solia makes it straight and smooth .Hers by the way is still going strong!I figure if it's not broke don't fix it so no other Flat iron will do. Tried other flat irons since she left no other works near as well, so the others I got rid of!posted Jun 1, 2010Link to this post
MarionSolia Flat IronI love the Solia Flat Iron. My hair is fine and it tends not to stay straight for a long time, but with the Solia it lasts a long time. After a week my hair is still straight and smooth. I love it!posted Jun 1, 2010Link to this post

We are in the process of moving all users in to a new AD and in to Exchnage 2007. I'm the only GTD user. We are starting off with new blank mailboxes by default and exporting and importing mail items where needed. I've done that with all the relevant GTD folders but as I'm now in a new mailbox the GTD plug-in is not there. Presumably I need to re-install this but any idea how I retrieve project details etc. from the old mailbox? Also, all my categories and colours are reset to default. I know that Outlook 2007 no longer stores category information in the registry but if it is stored in a mailbox, is there any way to get it from the old mailbox in to the new?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Why racks? There are several things you should consider when choosing a rack. What kind of equipment will you be putting in it? If you need frequent access to all sides of... more/see it nowthe equipment, an open rack is more convenient than a cabinet. If your equipment needs ventilation, a rack poses no air circulation limitations. And don't neglect aesthetics. Will customers or clients see your installation? A rack with cable management looks much neater. Finally, consider security. Because a rack is open, you need to take steps to secure your equipment. Set up your rack in a locked room so prying fingers can't access your network equipment. Racks come in various sizes and installation styles. Some are freestanding; some are designed to be wallmounted. Some can be a combination of both styles, sitting on the floor but attaching to the wall for more stability. Understanding rack measurements. The main component of a rack is a set of vertical rails with mounting holes to which you attach your equipment or shelves. The first measurement you need to know is the width between the two rails. It's commonly given in inches, measured from one mounting hole to the corresponding hole on the opposing rail. The most common rail width is 19"; 23" rails and racks are also available. Most rackmount equipment is designed to fit 19" rails but can be adapted for wider racks. The next important specification is the number of rack units, which is abbreviated as "U." This is a measurement of the vertical space available on the rails. Cabinets and racks and rackmount equipment are all measured in rack units. One rack unit (1U) is equal to 1.75" of usable vertical space. So, for example, a device that's 2U high takes up 3.5" of rack space. A rack that's 20U high has 35" of usable space. Because the widths are standard, the amount of vertical space is what determines how much equipment you can actually install. Remember this measurement of usable vertical space is smaller than the external height of the rack. Getting power to your equipment. Unless you want to have a tangle of extension cords, you'll need to get one or more power strips for your rack. Consider which kind would be best for your installation. Rackmount power strips come in versions that mount either vertically or horizontally. Some have outlets that are spaced widely to accommodate transformer blocks—a useful feature if most of your equipment uses bulky power transformers. Surge protection is another important issue. Some power strips have built-in surge protection; some don't. With the money you have invested in rackmount equipment, you'll certainly want to make sure it's protected. Any mission-critical equipment should also be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A UPS prevents your equipment from crashing during a brief blackout or brownout and allows enough time to shut everything down properly in the event of an extended power outage. Choose a rackmount UPS for the most critical equipment or plug the whole rack into a standalone UPS. Managing cables. Your equipment may look very tidy when it's all mounted. But unless you're very careful with your cables, you can create a tangle you'll never be able to unravel. Plotting your connections in advance helps you to decide the most efficient way to organize the cables. Knowing where the connections are tells you whether it's better to run cables horizontally or vertically. Most network problems are in the cabling, so if you let your cables get away from you now, you're sure to pay for it down the road. There are many cable management accessories that can simplify your racks. collapse
The rails on cabinets and racks typically come with one of three mounting options: 10-32, 12-24, or M6. The 10-32 and 12-24 options are round holes found on drilled and tapped... more/see it nowrails. You'll find 10-32 openings on cabinets, while 12-24 holes are more commonly found on relay racks and frames. However, exceptions do exist. It's very important to find out which type of mounting option your equipment requires before you order a cabinet or rack. M6 holes are square, rather than round. M6 rails were developed to hold rackmount equipment, and you will find them on most server cabinets. What makes M6 rails so popular on server cabinets? They're adaptable. With just one cage nut, you can change a square hole into a round one. That gives you much more versatility in your equipment and mounting choices. If you have a wide array of equipment, such as rackmount servers, hubs, routers, and patch panels, your best bet is a cabinet with M6 rails. It will accommodate the rackmount servers, and the other equipment can be mounted on those same rails using cage nuts. If you're unsure what type of cabinet, rack, or frame is best for your application, contact the experts at Black Box Tech Support. They'll be glad to help you find the right enclosure for your equipment. collapse
After you choose your rack, consider how youll set it up and what accessories you might need. Your rack may need to be secured. A typical rack has about a... more/see it now15"-deep base, providing some stability, but not enough to prevent the rack from tipping if heavy objects are mounted on it. To solve this problem, most rack bases can be bolted to the floor. You also need to decide how to accommodate standalone equipment, which is not actually rackmounted or bolted to the rack. You can place small devices on a cantilevered shelf such as the RM001, however, you should place heavier items such as monitors on a center-weight shelf such as the RM377.Small extras, such as Patch Panel Hinge Kits, can make your job easier. These hinges enable you to access the back of a patch panel simply by swinging it out from the rack. Theyre particularly useful for racks in hard-to-reach areas. If you need to mount both 19" and 23" equipment in the same rack, use a 23" rack with 23"-to-19" Rackmount Adapters to fit the 19" devices. For a neater appearance, you can cover unused spaces in a rack with Filler Panels. Cable management is also an important consideration. Our Horizontal and Vertical Cable Managers help you to route cables along the sides of racks, between racks, and to the rackmounted equipment. collapse

Well I think it's time and it's a very difficult situation I think what I think you gotta look at especially as we see.
-- with the ECB statistics last week saying that basically.
All of the funding is -- -- -- with Spain or Portugal I think that's one of the things you probably saw today right -- wrong the Spanish banks probably bought a great deal of the auction as we saw with the French auction.
Three times oversubscribed out have to say the French banks did the same thing.
Hence the reason that that it equity markets very very concerned about the state of the banking industry quote in Europe and especially -- club med.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Is running out -- how do you see that scenario playing out.
Well I think this is the question.
That the ECB at the -- -- both the may meeting in the June meeting is.
Will they be the lender of last usual and this is the concern and we talk about this before.
You see everybody taking the LP all right then lending -- back to the ECB are using the money to buy local government debt and as I said earlier.
The market especially yesterday the Spanish market got clobbered again in most of it is the banking industry and albeit -- UK is doing slightly better we've seen again pressure under the banks.
What do they know.
What do they -- what Giuliani in most people feel says the wrong securities.
I -- bill moved our live from London thanks so much film.

We also got earnings in from Union Pacific the rail companies reporting a profit of a dollar 79 cents a share.
That was topping the estimate for a dollar 63 cents revenue of five point eleven billion dollars also beat the estimate there was for four point 98 billion.
And Verizon says it earned 59 cents a share in the first quarter that they nearly 16% increase from a year ago and it's one cent above the street's forecast.
Revenue at the communications company rose nearly 5% from a year ago to 28 point 24 billion dollars just topping expectations there.
Verizon says it added more than 730000.
Retail wireless customers during the quarter and going forward rise in says it's on -- continue to deliver strong results.

Quinoa takes the place of traditional bulgur in this flavorful salad. It can stand alone as a vegetarian main dish, thanks to quinoa's protein content, or be served as a side dish or sandwich filling.

This simple but flavorful side dish is a great option to serve alongside fish or poultry, or to use as a stuffing for acorn squash or bell peppers.
Transform leftover turkey (or chicken) breast into a satisfying skillet meal with some vegetables and a bit of chili powder (use more if you like it spicy!).

Matcha is a Japanese green tea. It is finely ground into a powder making it easy to dissolve for this alternative latte.
Create a simple yet comforting dinner by lining a pie dish with unbaked crescent roll dough to encase a savory mixture of onions, tomatoes and ground beef and turkey. Each bite is truly reminiscent of a juicy cheeseburger. Serve with a salad of crisp greens.

Evan Garrow, a 22-year-old Estevan man, pleaded guilty last Thursday to charges of dangerous driving and theft under $5,000. The matter was set for trial, but the guilty pleas were entered and the defence and Crown prosecutor presented a joint submission to Judge Karl Bazin. Their submissions called for a four-month jail term.
Just days before Garrow's matter at Estevan provincial court, Estevan resident Justin Yakimchuk received 18 months of jail for dangerous driving causing bodily harm. While the charges against Garrow aren't as serious, as they are only for dangerous driving, Bazin still questioned the large variance of sentence asked for in this matter of four months, 14 months less than what Yakimchuk received.
"That's a serious offence, the facts you've outlined," Bazin told the Crown prosecutor. "There has to be parity. There has to be some sense that everyone is treated the same."
Greg Wilson, Garrow's Legal Aid lawyer, told the judge in the matter where the accused received 18 months in jail, there was a collision with another car and two injured people as a result.
The Crown prosecutor told the court that Garrow had stolen a vehicle in June 2011, after finding a car parked with the keys in the ignition. The owner of the vehicle had entered a local restaurant.
Estevan Police Service members were alerted to Garrow by his erratic driving and activated their emergency lights for a traffic stop. That's when Garrow fled in the vehicle, heading out of town on Highway 39.
"The accused veered into oncoming traffic on the highway and drove without headlights," said the Crown. "At one point in time, the accused extended his arm out the window and gave the police car the middle finger."
The pursuit lasted from Estevan to Weyburn, about 80 kilometres, and Garrow reached speeds of about 170 kilometres per hour. The Weyburn RCMP were called to assist in the chase and they laid out a spike belt on the highway, which the vehicle struck with its front passenger tire.
That slowed Garrow's vehicle down to about 120 kilometres per hour.
The vehicle chase ended after entering Weyburn where Garrow struck two barricades, eventually becoming hung up on a water pipe that was being used to pump water across the highway.
Garrow got out of the car and a chase on foot ensued, but he was quickly caught and arrested.
Before passing sentence, Bazin said he wanted to further review the Yakimchuk decision, and receive further submissions from the Crown and defence on the range of penalty that Garrow could reasonably receive.
The matter was adjourned until Aug. 9.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota said Tuesday that she has recently spoken with likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney, though she did not offer an endorsement of her one-time rival.
In the appearance on CNN's "John King, USA," Bachmann said she sees the GOP coming together, and wants to be "a voice of uniting our party."
"I'm very excited with what I'm seeing, not a lot of bumps in the road, but I'm very excited about bringing factions together," she said. "This doesn't happen overnight. We're in the process of coalescing and uniting and it's all in due time."
In mid-March, she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that the party needed to "unify and unify quickly." She said she would "back whoever the people choose."
On Tuesday, Bachmann said she recently spoke with Rick Santorum, who ended his GOP presidential run earlier this month, and Romney, though she did not divulge the nature of the conversations.
She told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King that Romney's vice presidential pick should have pro-life positions, and asked if she should be on the list, she deferred to Romney.
"Well, he'll make his decision, that's up to the governor," she said. "We trust him to make the wisest decision for our team and for our party. And we know that he'll do that."

Ministry of Defence: Managing Change in the Defence Workforce
HC 1905, Eighty-eighth Report of Session 2010-12 - Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence
- Author:
- House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
The Ministry of Defence announced in the summer of 2010 that it had a funding gap of £38 billion over the next ten years. 'Ministry of Defence: Managing Change in the Defence Workforce (HC 1905)' examines how savings in the reduction of personnel to meet the funding challenge may lead to a widening skills gap, with greater costs falling to external expertise.
As part of the Government's efforts to reduce the deficit the Department needs to reduce its annual spending by 7.5% in real terms by 2015. It intends to achieve a significant proportion of its required savings by reducing its civilian personnel by 29,000 and its military personnel by 25,000, which is estimated to create savings of £4.1 billion between 2011 and 2015.
The Department is currently enacting a transformation programme to deliver on the Strategic Defence and Security Review priorities with fewer staff. However, the Department has put plans in place to implement reductions in its workforce before it has finalised its new operating model.
There is concern that plans to reduce the workforce have been determined by the need to cut costs rather than by considering how to deliver its strategic objectives, which could lead to a further skills gap developing. This gap may result in the Department becoming increasingly reliant on external expertise, with consultancy expenditure having already grown from £6 million in 2006-07 to £270 million in 2010-11.

The Labour of Love
What is love? Is romance its most vital form? 'The labour of love' is a documentary about how four women in their twenties, from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds and sexual orientations, living in St. John's, Newfoundland, define what love is, and the struggles that come along with it.
'The Labour of Love' was originally broadcast on radio show WOW! or Women on Women: A Show About What Women are Doing, Saying, and Making, on CHMR FM in St. John's.
Take a listen here:
For a transcription of 'The Labour of Love' read on:
Sarah Feldbloom: Hi, I'm Shameless Magazine's Web Producer, Sarah Feldbloom. A few years ago I was living in Newfoundland. I moved there in large part to be with someone I had fallen deeply in love with. During that period of my life I was consumed by the act of loving. I felt like everything had to do with that feeling.
I would spend a lot of time inside my own head, thinking about what I was going through and watching the same questions present themselves over and over again.
I felt isolated in my experience of loving, and didn't have many close friends around me to talk it through with.
At the time I was producing a radio show for CHMR FM in St. John's called WOW! or Women on Women: A Show About What Women are Doing, Saying & Making. I decided to ask some of the people in my life there to explain to me and my listeners what they thought love was... what it meant for them. The documentary you're about to hear was originally broadcast on WOW! It features four women in their twenties from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds and sexual orientations.
Something that really surprised me while talking to these women was that romantic love, which is what had me obsessed, was the not the type that seemed most relevant overall. It was quite a revelation, since I'd been working for the kind of romantic love I was exploring for basically my whole life. And experiencing it the way it did, it was almost like I was wrapped in a sheet, which lay between me and the world beyond.
A few days ago when I went back to this recording, and listened to these women explain to me again what love is, it occurred to me that I didn't really hear them fully the first time. It reminds me that we can know something and not understand it or be able to use it until it proves itself to us in our own lives. Regardless it's important to talk about our feelings and not isolate ourselves, especially in romantic relationships. It can be so easy to get lost and find ourselves dependant and in situations that are unsustainable and unhealthy. I'm single now, and as cliché as it sounds, I finally feel like the most important love relationship is the one I have with myself.
[Sound up on interview]
SF: What do you think of when you think of the word "love"?
Women 1: Wow, that is difficult. Um, when I think of love, I think of love for oneself. That's, that's always the first thing that comes to mind...
Women 2: Umm, you can't just say what it is. There are so many things to say about it. You can't describe it really; nobody really knows what it is and I'd say—this is such a stupid thing to say because everybody says it—but you don't know what it is until it actually happens and all that kind of stuff. But I don't know…you'd never be able to pinpoint it. I guess it's just a weird feeling and you know when you know.
SF: Was there a time where you thought love was something different than what you just described?
W2: Yes. When I was young I just thought that TV was what love was. I thought that it was going to be like some cartoon. I don't know…I was going to be some sort of warrior princess and it was going to be perfect and my warrior prince was going to come get me. I don't know; it's just not that like that at all. It's so much more difficult than what I thought.
SF: What do you think love is?
Women 3: Oooh, okay…that is a big question. I think it would really depend on the context in which it was being presented…and also on the person. Seeing as how Valentine's Day is two days from now, right now I'm inclined to kind of think of romantic love.
I might have a similar perspective on this, but I really see it [love] as something that was commodified by capitalism and really kind of marketed towards us, you know? We have a day every year where we're expected to celebrate and buy certain products for our so-called loved ones and we're kind of compelled to be in these relationships that are primarily economic arrangements more than anything else and if you look at partnerships and people who are mostly likely to marry or have partners within their own class and then it perpetuates that [mentality] with their kids and all that. And the way it's marketed I see as really plastic but also a real opportunity to profit off of [romantic love] which is why it's been so successful for so long. But having said that, I am currently in a partnership right now and every relationship is going to be different and going to feel differently. What it [love] is for me is passion, where you care deeply for another person. Whether you call that intimacy on a different level or whether you call it love I don't think is all that important. I mean, how do you label it? If it's so meaningful and important to you, that's kind of the main thing.
Women 4: I think love is a connection between two people when you're able to put your own feelings on par with someone else and when you would do almost do anything to be with that person and make them happy, but without compromising your own happiness.
W1: I think just being fully satisfied with who you are and just feeling like no matter what, you're always going to be there for yourself. A lot of people say that about others, you know, 'No matter what so-and-so is going to be there for me,' or something like that. But, I think knowing that you're always going to be okay and you're always going to have yourself, and being okay with that and being okay with the face that you are alone in the world, I think that if you're okay with that it actually demonstrates that you love yourself. And once you love yourself, then you can actually love others and I think that's the only way you can ever love others, so yeah that's what I think.

What's 10 minutes worth to you, Broncos fans?
The NFL announced Thursday that it will push back the kickoff times of 40 games this fall, including four Broncos games. All games that were the back half of a double-header on either CBS or Fox will start at 2:25 Mountain Time, instead of 2:15.
This changes four Broncos games: Sept. 23 vs. Houston; Oct. 7 at New England; Nov. 18 at San Diego; and Dec. 30 vs. Kansas City.
The NFL made the move to try to prevent overlap with televised broadcasts of the early games. Here in the Denver market, CBS — which owns the broadcast rights to most Broncos games — often has to switch away from a game being played on the east coast to catch the start of the Broncos' afternoon game.
The NFL said in a press release that networks had to switch away from 44 games in 2011. With a later start time, that number would have been reduced to 15.
It might seem like a minor change for most fans. Hopefully we can all find ways to fill those extra 10 minutes.
Here are some suggestions:
• Extra time to fiddle with your fantasy football roster. Many online leagues allow changes right up until kickoff. You won't have to turn away from the final minutes of that blockbuster Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins game and miss seeing crucial fantasy football points from guys like Fred Jackson and Devon Bess. And you'll have 10 more minutes to decide who to replace in your lineup when Antonio Gates, playing in a late game in San Diego, is inevitably listed as inactive with a foot injury.
• Tebow time: Who knows what's going to happen with the quarterback situation in New York, but we do know this: When Tim Tebow is on the field, you don't want to miss a moment of the fourth quarter. If the Jets are smart, they'll pull Mark Sanchez late in games to let Tebow and his famous fourth-quarter magic take over. And now, CBS won't be forced to switch away.
• Sure, hot dogs are most associated with baseball. But with 10 extra minutes, just think of how many more hot dogs you could consume on an NFL Sunday? Build up your gastrointestinal stamina and by Week 17 (that Dec. 30 game against Kansas City), challenge your football-watching buddies to a Coney Island-style contest.
• With 10 more minutes, think of all the extra trash you can talk to Raiders fans (if they aren't too busy using the additional time to add extra layers of face paint).
• Watching the game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High? We here at The Denver Post like to encourage responsible tailgating, but the beverages and snacks you bring are far cheaper than what you can buy inside the stadium.
• Read the full print edition of Sunday Denver Post. Ten more minutes means 10 more articles? Or at least 10 more comic strips.

TOTALLY satisfied
By Janet
from Ottawa, Ontario
About Me Budget Shopper
We moved into a small condo and wanted the warm ambiance of a home. This fireplace gives a sense of the real thing with or without the heat. It provides the room awesome mood glow. It is worth the extra money to get this sense of REALITY!Unfortunately, the unit does not come with fire cracking sound so I purchased a fire cracking sound CD, copied the sound on a MP3 and play it through small computer speakers, which I installed in the cabinet,every time I turn my fireplace ON.
We were very impressed with the promptness and quality of the delivery. Within 30 minutes of unpacking it, it was installed and totally functioning. It was a real charm to work with. Would do it over again.
Fireplace for RV
By Homebrew
from Morganton, NC
I purchased a new 5th wheel RV in March of this year and it did not include a fireplace. I decided that a fireplace would be nice for the heat and appearance, so I started shopping. I decided on the Dimplex 26". I was a perfect fit for that area where it would be installed. Installation was very simple.
excellent [...]product

i repalced a wood burning fireplace with a insert & its the best decision i made ! great product that looks realistic
Good heat and realistic look
By Jingso
from SF Bay, CA
We bought a bargain empty mantle from HD Design Center & this insert is perfect for it. We can now sit in our living room & have heat where we want it without heating all the other rooms.Plug it in & enjoy - what a concept!
Great delivery service except that we had to call the shipper & remind them to put it on a truck from their warehouse to our home. It sat there for a few days & they neglected to call. Thank heaven for the tracking feature.When it did arrive the delivery driver was very nice and helped me unpack the thing for inspection.

It's energy efficient and it does warm up the room. The flame looks very real and we've got a lot of complements
Dimplex 26" outstanding
By Tim Brinkley
from Spencer, Iowa
we used the Dimplex 26" as an insert to our fireplace,installation was very simple,and with the remote it is very easy to run,we love the realistic flame and glowing embers, and with the heat sorce, makes you think it was real. With grandkids around we don't have to worry about them getting burned, and I love the fact that I don't have to clean up after burning wood!We can't think of one bad thing to say about it!
By dilli
from Grand Junction, CO
I use it in my sitting room and it adds great ambiance. It is a small room and the fireplace is the only heating source. The room is not used often but the addition of the fireplace has made it very cozy.
Through no fault of the company, my shipment was separated. When I called them to tell them that it was not all delivered they immediately sent out a replacement.
Everything we were looking for!
By Digger and the Bomb
from Minnesota
We purchased this to replace a 12 year old insert that had burned out. This fireplace was the perfect fit and is warmer with a more realistic flame than what we had. It is in our basement family room and takes the chill out on these cold winter days. We use it every day and love it!!

Eru Ilúvatar
Talk11this wiki
Redirected from Ilúvatar
Eru (Quenya Tengwar: `V7U; IPA: [ˈeru]; the One), also called Ilúvatar (full spelling `Bj~MyE1E6 or vowel-abbreviated spelling `BjUMy16; [iˈluːvatar]; the All High or the Father of All as defined in the index of name elements in The Silmarillion), is the supreme deity of Arda and Middle-earth. He is the single creator, above the Valar, but has delegated most direct action within Eä to the Ainur, including the shaping of the Earth (Arda) itself.
Eru is an important part of the stories of The Silmarillion but is not mentioned by name in Tolkien's most famous works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (he is alluded to as "the One" in the part of LotR's Appendix A that speaks of the downfall of Númenor).
Eru as the Creator GodEdit
Elves and Men were created by Eru directly, without delegation to the Ainur, and they are therefore called "Children of Ilúvatar" (Eruhini). The Dwarves were created by Aulë with the belated approval of Ilúvatar, though they would be second to the Children of Ilúvatar. Ents were also created by Eru under the demand of Yavanna learning that Dwarves would want to fell trees.
The first things that Ilúvatar created were the Ainur (from his thoughts). He then bade the Ainur to sing to him; this was called the Ainulindalë, or the music of the Ainur. Melkor created a discord to the music, and Iluvatar added three themes to the Ainulindale, which talked about the fate of Arda.
The next thing he made was Eä, the "World and All That Is", and Eä was in the Void (Melkor was drawn to the Void, and so at the beginning of Arda, he lay in the Void, or the Outside as it was sometimes called). He then gave the Ainur the option to go into Ea and fashion as they will. The most powerful Ainur who chose to do so were called the Valar, and they controlled the shaping of the Arda. They could not make life, however, as Aulë proves, who was able to give only shape to the dwarves, while consciousness was given to them by Eru. The Valar were accompanied by the Maiar. The elves and men, however, came directly from Ilúvatar's thoughts, and are referred to in The Silmarillion as The First Children of Ilúvatar and the Second Children of Ilúvatar, respectively, while the dwarves would be the Adopted Children.
One of the only times that Eru ever intervened in the world after creating it was in the downfall of Númenor when the Valar called for his aid. In a letter written by Tolkien, he stated that Eru again intervened, this time in the Third Age, causing Gollum to trip and fall into the fires of Mount Doom while still holding the One Ring, thus destroying it.
"Eru" meant "The One" or "Alone", and the epithet Ilúvatar meant "Father of All" in the Quenya tongue.
Behind the scenesEdit
While Tolkien had said he didn't like 'allegory' Eru was an allegorical portrayal of the Christian God, and many of the stories Tolkien wrote about him tied him into the Christianity. Tolkien himself worried it was becoming a 'parody of Christianity' in his own writings.

It occurred to me the other day (as I was happily trolling through BlogLand). That I am buttonless.
I feel weird about it too.
Everyone else has shiny, snappy blog buttons. Bright, cheery, happy buttons. Many boasting "grab me" followed by a bunch of weird a$$ code I don't understand. They seem to be everywhere.
There's revolving buttons, flashing buttons, little buttons and great big buttons.
I am feeling a bit left out.
Hey….I wanna get on the blog button bandwagon! But where-o-where does one get a button? I truly want to know. Is there a button store? A Button Mart? Or better yet (something that fits me budget more) and Button SuperStore that, via smoke and mirrors, makes me think I'm getting a great deal on my button? Along with a free tin of cookies or a fifteen-cent spiral notebook?
I truly would like a button. So , in all seriousness, does anybody have any thoughts, advice, directions, on how I can lasso myself a dandy little FranticMommy bloggy button? If so, please advise before my Blog Button Envy reaches epic proportions. Your help is appreciated.

First you have to pick out a picture that you would like to use as a button the go to photobucket and save it as a picture. The rest is easy peasy. Let me know when you get your picture saved and I can help you from there.
I made my own by copying part of the header of my blog. I got the rest of the info on how to make it from here http://sneakymommablogdesign.blogspot.com/
I can make buttons at my blog design site (indiechick designs)
I had Tamara at Cheapskate Designs do a button for me recently when I developed a case of button envy. Check out her site:
She charges $5 and will work with you to get what you want. She did at least six different buttons for me before we got it right.
You can buy a button or you can make one yourself. It's not hard.
Here are instructions:
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi there! I emailed you yesterday morning but gmail is goofy so I am not sure you got it. Let me know if you did not get it and I will resend it!
Hey Rebecca, I emailed you the button and code via my msn email being that gmail has proven to be a not so reliable email. I am so sorry for any confusion.

Poverty Alleviation for Asia (SEPAA)
Dear SEPAA Team member,
This refers to our earlier correspondence regarding WEC Initiative on "Sustainable Energy Poverty Alleviation for all". I trust by now you would have studied the TOR and would have some definite suggestions to take the initiative forward. I suggest that we can start with compiling of available information as per the survey questionnaire and then follow up with a teleconference sometime in May 2010 to crystallize our thoughts and finalise the draft structure of report. May I request you to kindly organize to provide relevant information as per the survey questionnaire to the extent possible and return by 30th April 2010 so that a draft agenda for the teleconference circulated early May. I also seek your views and support for organizing a meeting of this Initiative supported by your Member Committee sometime later this year.
We have done a similar excercise for India and I shall be separately sharing it with you for reference.
Please click here to download the questionnaire... ( PDF File, 9KB)
Thanking you and with best regards
Yours sincerely,

I stay here frequently. It is a good value for such a central location. I can get to anywhere in Dfw within about 20 minutes from here. Rooms have always... been clean. It is an older hotel located in the Warehouse district. (a high end appliance clearance center is next door if you want to see some great deals.) Neighborhood is like many in large cities.. You should to drive where you need to go. If you want a resort location, be ready to pay 3-4 times the rate. by stevegen from east Texas on 08/20/13
