"How cute are tese witches heels to put some candy in to put on your table or to a office desk display to hold some candy. it is so creative and not expensive at all to make. You can use some embelishments to decorate them or just add some glitter. Great for someone who loves shoes too."
"Now this witch teapot is such a clever idea to do. I would keep this inside though after all the hard work painting it. I love the witch hat as the top and I would use a pom pom on the very top. I really love the spout and handle idea. A super conversation piece."
"It's Frankenstein to greet you at the door. I like painting the pumpkins instead of carving because they rot so fast when carving and this is such a cool idea. You can even use glow in the dark paint to make it creepier. I really love the boa for the hair too. Super cute and fun for the whole family."
"Do you or sommeone you know like hats and getting into holiday moods then you have got to see these hats and they are so easy to do. You can gather any kind of halloween things from the dollar stoore or make yorself and if you have a cricut it can make it fast too. I love the spider one a lot. You can even buy a bag of them at the dollar store or make your own. I would glue on some spiderwebs on the hat too. I bet this would be sooooo fun."

Make your own pretty and patriotic Fourth of July centerpieces featuring perfect paper stars. Follow this step-by-step Paper Trunk tutorial to create your own 2-sided Fourth of July centerpieces.
- 2 Sheets of red and white striped 12x12 scrapbook paper "Wild Love"
- from Paper Trunk Maybe Baby line
- 1 Sheet of 12x12 designer Kraft paper from the Paper Trunk Krafty Collection
- 3 Journal spots from the Paper Trunk Krafty Collection
- 1 set of white "Benny" alphabet stickers from Paper Trunk
- 12 inch long strips of paper from the Paper Trunk Rockabilly Collection Small scallop border Fiskars punch
- 6 petal flower punch
- Tattered Angels Glimmer mists, blue and red
- Colorbox blue pigment ink
- Black Soot Distress Ink by Ranger
- Recycled craft sticks from rub-on packages
- Wide ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Scrapbooking adhesive
- Recycled cappuccino can
- Red, white, and blue plastic bags
- Follow the instructions here for making a 5 point star using a 12x12 inch piece of paper and one cut. Use the star pattern to cut a star from the red and white striped paper and the sheet of kraft paper.
- Fold the red and white striped stars in half at each of the points. From the center point of the star, each arm of the star will be folded so that the fold is up. The part of each fold that does not go out to the arm of the star is folded so that the crease goes down. When finished, the stars will look like barn stars. With the star folded flat cut about 1 inch off the peak in the center part of the star so that you have a star shaped hole in the middle of the star when it is unfolded.
- One of the red and white striped stars will go on each side of the Kraft paper. Glue the tip of each star arm to the tip of the Kraft paper star arms using a hot glue gun or quick drying adhesive.
- Cut two journal spots from the Kraft paper for your fourth of july centerpieces.
- Punch a scalloped border from the Paper Trunk Rockabilly paper.
- Cut 3/4 of the way through the paper from the straight edge toward the top of each of the scallops. Over lap each of the cuts so that a circular shape can be made out of the strip of paper. Glue the scalloped strip to the back of the circular journal spot. Ink the edges of the scalloped border with blue ink. Make two paper roses using the flower punch (there are quite a few tutorials on this on the Internet).
- Spray blue Glimmer Mist on the roses.
- Glue one rose to the center of each journal spot 9. Add Happy 4th of July around the edge of the circular journal spot.
- To make the "th" on 4th trim down the "t" and "h" letters. Add July 4th around the rose on the second journal spot, also trimming the "t" and "h".
- Using a hot glue gun, adhere the journal spots over the star-shaped holes in the center of the red and white striped stars
- Add hot glue to the top of a Popsicle stick and glue it to the Kraft star by sticking it underneath the red and white striped star. Do this on both sides of the Kraft star.
- Glue two additional sticks to the bottom of the first sticks so that the support for the star is three sticks long.
- Tie two bows from the wide ribbon and glue them to each side of the Popsicle sticks.
- Cut a strip of Rockabilly paper wide enough to cover an empty cappuccino can. On the black and white side of the paper, spray red Glimmer Mist along one of the long edges and blue glimmer mist along the other long edge.
- Glue the red, white, and blue strip of Rockabilly paper to the can. It may not go all the way around.
- Cut a third journal spot from the Krafty Collection paper.
- Cut out a star shape from a piece of scrap paper to create a mask. You do not need the star shape, you need the star-shaped hole in the piece of paper. Place the mask on the journal spot and spray red Glimmer Mist on the bottom of the star and blue Glimmer Mist on the top of the star.
- Spell out the word "celebrate" in Benny Alphabet stickers.
- Glue the journal spot to the can to cover the gap between the ends of the paper or the seam where the ends came together.
- Stuff the can with red, white, and blue plastic bags.
- Place the star in the can and put your new centerpiece on display!

These are pretty involved, but what a statement they would make at your Fourth of July gathering! As a moderation, I might use a plain red color for the star or a more patriotic looking print to give it a more traditional look. Cluster several together at the main table for a really festive look. Thank you for sharing!

The legal fire between Barnes & Noble and Microsoft is flaring up even more. B&N has filed a compilation or prior art to Microsoft's patents. B&N is proving just how easily and quickly Samsung, HTC, and other buckled to Microsoft's protection racket: we're talking 43 (!) pages of prior art, drawing from things like old Netscape releases, GNU Emacs, and much more. If B&N can create such a monumental list of prior art, why didn't Samsung or HTC? Amazing.

In Chapter Two of the encyclical Charity in Truth (Caritas in Veritate), published in June, Pope Benedict XVI observes that the "world's wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities are on the increase" as hunger persists alongside new forms of poverty.
Nobody doubts that poverty afflicts less developed nations in Africa and Asia, but is poverty a serious problem in the United States today?
It would seem so. The 2009 "poverty guidelines" followed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services start at $10,830 a year for one person and rise to $29,530 a year for a family of six. By those standards, about one in eight Americans, one in five Hispanics and one in four African-Americans live below the poverty line.
But Nicholas Eberstadt, a fine scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, believes that the official poverty rate exaggerates the actual extent of poverty in America today by measuring income rather than consumption. In his 2008 book, The Poverty of "The Poverty Rate"(A.E.I. Press), he cites data indicating that most families who live below the poverty line own cars; over 40 percent have central air conditioning; a third have dishwashers; and a quarter have personal computers.
In another 2008 volume, Prices, Poverty, and Inequality (A.E.I. Press), Christian Broda and David E. Weinstein, economics professors, stress that today's "poor" enjoy better and cheaper goods like air bags, cellular phones and computers. They estimate that the real wages of the officially poor have actually risen by 30 percent since the late 1970s and that "the actual poverty rate" has fallen by 60 percent since 1970.
These good analysts make good points, and I am all for refining how Washington measures material want. But this is no mere academic matter, and there is no perfect way to measure as complex and multifaceted a condition as poverty. To even begin to imply that poverty in America is a myth is to make a huge empirical error and an even worse moral mistake.
Start with "food insecurity," defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a household without "enough food" for all members due to "insufficient money and other resources for food."
Over 20 million American adults and over 10 million American children live in food-insecure households. In 2008 a record 28 million Americans were in the U.S.D.A.'s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program. In economically hard hit Michigan, one in eight citizens needed food stamps. Just ask people who run faith-based food pantries in Detroit and other cities from coast to coast if the U.S.D.A. data exaggerate the hunger problem in America today.
In my hometown of Philadelphia, half of all households have annual incomes less than $35,000. The city's official poverty rate is nearly 20 percent. Most of the more than 325,000 Philadelphians below the poverty line are African-American or Hispanic. In 2008, one in eight Philadelphians had no health insurance.
So even if the "actual" poverty rate in Philadelphia and nationally is only half the official rate, brotherly love dictates doing better: more private charity; redoubled faith-based services; and increased public cash benefits, medical assistance and subsidies for child care and energy bills.
I have often heard certain politically conservative professors and pundits who ought to know better assert in one breath that America's "poor" are not really poor because those on "welfare" now get so many government benefits and then, in the very next breath, that the "war on poverty" has long since failed.
Actually, the biggest post-1965 dips in the U.S. poverty rate occurred in those years when government antipoverty programs expanded the fastest, and the single biggest post-1965 dip in poverty occurred in the group that got more government benefits per capita than any other—namely, the elderly.
Today about 46 million people in the United States have no health insurance. Not surprisingly, the uninsured poor get less (and lower quality) medical care than the rest of us.
The lowest national poverty rate on record was 11.1 percent in 1973. Alas, sinful inequalities persist in the United States today, and charity in truth must begin at home.
"So even if the "actual" poverty rate in Philadelphia and nationally is only half the official rate, brotherly love dictates doing better: more private charity; redoubled faith-based services; and increased public cash benefits, medical assistance and subsidies for child care and energy bills."
Here are some helpful facts regarding poverty that are helpful to keep in mind:
1. Poor people have less money. Their best anti-poverty plan would be to get more money. This is commonly done by working and providing value to others in the form of a job. Many people do this.
2. It is helpful to know how to get a job and provide value. Some of the existential behaviors that have proven helpful include: getting an alarm clock; wearing clean, neat clothes that conform with local custom; avoiding the company of druggies, nose-ring wearers, and other losers; acquiring a marketable skill, which can easily be done over time by associating with people who possess the relevant skill and informing them you want to learn; focusing on a positive attitude and achievement mentality (cf. Luck and Pluck series, featuring Horatio Alger, among others), and other helpful behaviors detailed in many American success-oriented publications.
3. Most important: avoid do-gooders and other frequently church-related liberals who have no idea whatever how economics works and are ready to hand out freebies and bad advice that makes them feel good inside despite the debilitating effect they have on you, the poverty-stricken.
The sad truth is that many well-meaning folks are deep down racists who believe that minorities really are incapable of making a meaningful contribution to society through a job. Others are socialists, infected by Europe via New York City intellectuals. If you are poor, it is vital you avoid these people and their ideas.
America is the land of freedom for all. Millions have come to our shores and succeeded. No matter who you are, you can follow in their footsteps.

MONTREAL — It was Lin Jun's head.
Montreal police confirmed Wednesday that human remains found in Angrignon Park on Sunday belong to the 33-year-old Chinese national and Concordia University engineering student at the heart of a grisly killing and dimemberment case.
Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old stripper and actor in porn films, returned to Montreal last month after an international man hunt which ended peacefully in an internet café in Berlin where Magnotta was sitting at a computer reading news stories about himself.
Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to five charges, including one of the first-degree killing of Lin, which is alleged to have taken place on the night of May 24 to 25.
The crime caused a sensation after a human foot was mailed to Conservative party offices in Ottawa.
Within hours, Montreal police discovered a torso in a suitcase in the garbage behind the Snowdon-area apartment building where Magnotta had been living. Over the course of the following week, other body parts turned up in the mail at Liberal party headquarters in Ottawa and at two schools in British Columbia.
A video which has circulated widely on the internet reportedly shows the killing and dismemberment.
Police said with discovery of the head, all of Lin's body parts have now been recovered.
Police have not disclosed the source of the tip which led them to the park.
Magnotta is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 9. A preliminary hearing is slated to begin March 9.

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san manga summary: From MangaHelpers: Fuyuzora Kogarashi has spirit abilities, and has been possessed by ghosts since he was a kid. This has caused a lot of trouble in his life, but now he has learned to fight back against the evil spirits! Unfortunately, he's now also very poor, homeless, and hoping for a happier, more normal, high school life. In his search for housing, he's introduced to a very cheap boarding house called Yuragi-sou, which was formerly a popular hot springs inn. It's so cheap because the house is haunted by the spirit of a high school student whose corpse was found there. Kogarashi doesn't think this is going to be a problem for him, and the rest of the house's tenants appear to be sexy women. While relaxing in the hot springs, though, he finds there is an issue with his ghost-banishing plan; Yuragi-sou's ghost is a 16-year-old girl named Yuna, who lives in his room. Kogarashi has no desire to hurt a ghost girl, and instead he ends up agreeing to help her to figure out her unfinished business. That way, she can move onto the afterlife before turning evil and falling into hell. Once it is clear that he is fine with Yuna, the other tenants reveal their own supernatural secrets--his life in Yuragi-sou is going to be far from ordinary! [tethysdust]

Cubs 9, Rangers 2
Facing his former team for the first time, Scott Feldman had one
of the best starts of his major league career.
Feldman threw seven scoreless innings before leaving with a
cramp in his pitching hand, and the Chicago Cubs came within three
outs of their first shutout since August in a 9-2 win over the
Texas Rangers on Monday night.
"I tried to just relax out there and everything, but obviously
I know a lot of those guys and I've got a lot of respect for
them," Feldman said. "I had a great seven or eight years over
there and made some good friends. When we're not playing against
them I hope they do good. But on a night like tonight, definitely
want to try to get them out."
Feldman (3-3) has won three straight starts after losing his
first three with the Cubs. He signed a $6 million, one-year
contract with Chicago during the offseason after going 39-44 with a
4.81 ERA in parts of eight seasons with Texas.
He allowed two hits, struck out three and walked one, and also
hit an RBI single in the fourth for a 2-0 lead. In Feldman's
previous start, he pitched a three-hitter with 12 strikeouts in a
6-2 win over San Diego last Wednesday.
"He was really, really good again," Cubs manager Dale Sveum
said. "And against a really good offense, too."
After he threw a 2-0 pitch in the eighth to David Murphy,
Feldman was shaking his right hand and was checked on the mound by
Cubs manager Dale Sveum and assistant trainer Ed Halbur, then
replaced by James Russell.
Feldman began to feel the cramp during his warmup tosses and
tried to get through the inning. Two pitches in, he knew his night
was over.
"I think I had a lot of pitches anyway," said Feldman, who had
thrown 104, "so I was going to need some first-pitch outs
Texas scored a pair of unearned runs in the ninth after a
throwing error by third baseman Luis Valbuena. The Cubs have gone
68 games without a shutout since beating Colorado 5-0 on Aug. 26,
their longest streak since going 75 games in a row without shutouts
from May 15 until Aug. 6, 1999, according to STATS.
Anthony Rizzo had three hits, four RBIs and his ninth home run,
and Starlin Castro scored three runs for the Cubs, who scored five
times with two outs in the fourth to take a 6-0 lead. Chicago, last
in the NL Central at 12-20, set season highs for runs and victory
"I think we're a lot better team than what our record shows,
and I think a lot of people would agree with us," Rizzo said.
"We've lost a lot of heartbreakers so far, but today definitely
feels good and everyone should feel happy about it."
The Rangers' Nick Tepesch (2-3) lost his second straight start,
allowing six runs – five earned – six hits and four walks in four
"He was good tonight as far as our offense was concerned,"
Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We couldn't do anything with
Coming off a three-game sweep of Boston, Texas returned to
Wrigley Field to make up an April 17 rainout between Chicago's
series against Cincinnati and St. Louis. The Cubs are hosting three
teams in three days for the first time since Aug. 21-23, 1960.
Chicago went ahead with an unearned run in the first after David
DeJesus singled, stole second and continued to third when the throw
by former Cubs catcher Geovany Soto bounced into center field for
an error. DeJesus scored when Alfonso Soriano beat shortstop Elvis
Andrus' relay throw and avoided what would have been an
inning-ending double play.
Feldman singled to spark a five-run fourth after an intentional
walk to walked Darwin Barney, who was hitless in his previous 17
"I just didn't make a good pitch right there," Tepesch said.
"That was basically it."
Castro and Rizzo followed with consecutive two-run singles.
Rizzo hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Derek Lowe. The
Rangers scored in the ninth when Andrus doubled leading off against
Rafael Dolis and Valbuena's throw on Adrian Beltre's grounder was
well to the home plate side of first base. Soto, who spent parts of
eight seasons with the Cubs and won the 2008 NL Rookie of the Year
award with Chicago, hit a two-out RBI single. Playing against the
Cubs for the first time, he was 2 for 4.
NOTES: Chicago selected the contract of OF Ryan Sweeney from
Triple-A Iowa and recalled Dolis. RHP Kameron Loe was designated
for assignment and OF Dave Sappelt was optioned to the Pacific
Coast League team. … Cubs pitcher Matt Garza made his second
injury rehabilitation start Monday, throwing 54 pitches in 3 1-3
innings for Iowa. Garza, who hasn't pitched in the major leagues
this season, is expected to make one more rehab start before
Chicago reevaluates his status. … Rangers pitcher Martin Perez
threw 53 pitches in four innings in his first rehab start for
Double-A Frisco. Perez hasn't pitched this season after breaking
his left wrist March 3. … Justin Grimm (2-1, 2.28) is expected to
start for Texas on Tuesday in Milwaukee against Wily Peralta, while
Travis Wood (2-2, 2.50) is scheduled to face the Cardinals' Lance
Lynn (5-0, 2.75). … Rangers C A.J. Pierzynski was given the night
off. Lance Berkman, who has been the Rangers' primary designated
hitter, also wasn't in the lineup.

White Birch Brewing opening a new Nashua locationBy MELISSA PROULX
Union Leader Correspondent
February 20. 2018 11:30PM
White Birch Brewing will be planting its roots in Nashua this spring after leaving its first home in Hooksett earlier this month.
The craft brewery, founded in 2009 at 1339 Hooksett Road, started by producing 15- or 20-gallon batches, eventually growing into a 30-barrel operation.
"The location wasn't bad, but the building was really run down," owner Dave Herlicka said Tuesday.
Herlicka's brother, Bill, started White Birch in 2009. Dave Herlicka took over as owner last year. The brewery is known for its Blueberry and Raspberry Berliner Weisse brews.
The new location will be at 460 Amherst St. in an approximately 11,000 square foot facility. Herlicka said he had looked at about 30 other locations before finding the Nashua one.
"It was like a little gem tucked away," he said.
The Nashua location, expected to open in April, will have a new tasting room with a bar and seating, with a dozen beers always on tap. Food also will be served.
"When they come check us out in Nashua, they'll be blown away by what they see," Herlicka said.
Customers will also be able to sit and watch the production process from the bar and seating area.
"We're beyond excited," he said.
Craft breweries have grown dramatically during the past five years. New Hampshire is home to more than 70 craft breweries, according to Brew NH, a nonprofit trade group.
Herlicka said that customers want fuller bodied, more flavorful beers he and other breweries produce.
"It's changing people's palates," he said. "The market's just on fire."
Herlicka said the new location has some added benefits as well, like the overall demographics of the town, the visibility of the new location and the close proximity to Massachusetts.
"Nashua's got a cool vibe," he said. "It's a great city."
Along with the three full-time and one part-time employee currently on staff, Herlicka said that he's looking to add two wait staff people and three to five employees for the brewing staff.
Herlicka said that he's also planning on adding a chief financial officer to the staff as well.
Both the move and the build-up are being funded by Herlicka.
"This really was a sequence of events that just worked out together," he said.

Disneyland is marking Three Kings Day in a big way this season, another milestone in the mainstreaming of a holiday that is beloved in Latin America and other cultures around the world.
Disneyland is marking Three Kings Day in a big way this season, another milestone in the mainstreaming of a holiday that is beloved in Latin America and other cultures around the world.
The Christian holiday — also known as Twelfth Night or Feast of the Epiphany — takes place Jan. 6, ending the 12 days of Christmas. Many Hispanic communities in the U.S. celebrate Three Kings Day with parades and performances depicting the biblical story of three kings following a star to find the baby Jesus, bringing gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh.
Disneyland spokeswoman Michele Himmelberg said the theme park in Anaheim, Calif., "launched the Three Kings Day celebration last year as a test. It was a big success, particularly with the Hispanic community, and we're expanding it this year to a larger area."
The park will host Three Kings Day on Jan. 4 to 6 at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree in Disneyland's Frontierland. There will be Mexican folklorico dancing, mariachi musicians, photo ops with Disney characters and bilingual hosts offering face painting, crown making and other children's activities. Food carts will serve sweet corn tamales, chimichangas, Mexican hot chocolate and king cake, which is a round, sweet, doughy cake called rosca de reyes (king's ring).
"I love the fact that Disney is doing this," said Evette Rios, a correspondent with ABC's "The Chew," who grew up celebrating Three Kings Day with her Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, N.Y. "It means a lot. This is the changing face of America. We are becoming more open to different holidays and traditions. I don't have a homogenous view of what America is, and I'm glad Disney doesn't either."
As a child, Rios said, she'd leave a dish of water under her bed for the three kings' camels — "actually for the horses because there were no camels in Puerto Rico" — along with grass to represent hay. The next morning, she'd find small toys hidden in her shoes, gifts left by the kings.
Rios still celebrates the holiday by attending a parade in East Harlem in Manhattan organized by El Museo del Barrio, a museum devoted to Latin American and Caribbean culture. The colorful parade, in its 36th year, includes costumed actors, floats, bands and real camels. It's always held on a weekday — this year Jan. 4 — so schools can participate.
In Miami, three kings of basketball — Heat superstars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — are grand marshals of the 43rd annual Three Kings parade in the Cuban-American neighborhood of Little Havana. The parade is scheduled for Jan. 20 along Southwest Eighth Street.
The holiday has a French accent in New Orleans, where Twelfth Night kicks off carnival season, culminating in Mardi Gras. Each Jan. 6, the mayor and leaders of top Mardi Gras krewes — organizations that host carnival parades and balls — meet at historic Gallier Hall to serve king cake, which in New Orleans is called galette des rois and is iced in purple, green and gold, the colors of Mardi Gras.
Both the French and Mexican cakes have a toy baby representing the Christ child baked inside, but Mexican king cakes are usually topped in Christmas colors of red and green, colors also found in the Mexican flag.
Ricardo Cervantes, co-owner of La Monarca bakeries in Southern California, says they sell thousands of king cakes from their stores in East Los Angeles and the largely Hispanic city of Huntington Park. But surprisingly, sales also are strong at a Santa Monica location "in more of an Anglo neighborhood. People who are not Mexican, they are intrigued," he said. "We also get a lot of people now bringing a cake into the office." A new La Monarca opening this month in Pasadena also will carry king cake.
Huntington Park hosts a large Three Kings celebration, as does Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles, a block-long historic attraction showcasing Mexican culture where a candlelight procession takes place each year.
Other Three Kings Day celebrations around the country include a parade in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago; a bilingual performance of the biblical story that's been staged for more than three decades at the GALA Theatre in Washington D.C., and festivities at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas and The Children's Museum of Houston. Schools in Hartford, Conn., which has a large Hispanic population, close when the holiday falls on a weekday.
New Mexico's tribal communities, called pueblos, host ceremonial dances on Three Kings Day in a tradition that dates back centuries to the influence of Catholic missionaries in the Spanish colonial era. Jan. 6 also is when new tribal officials are installed in a ceremony called the blessing of canes or transfer of canes. In Santa Fe, N.M., a play about the three kings has been performed annually for more than 50 years by the Caballeros de Vargas, a Catholic service organization.
In Tarpon Springs, home to a large Greek-American population, the Feast of the Epiphany is marked with a Jan. 6 event called the Cross Dive, where teenage boys dive into a bayou to retrieve a wooden cross.

A few days ago Adam Machanic proposed a great idea about a T-SQL Tuesday. Every Tuesday there would be a topic bloggers all around would post about. Chosen as the first topic was the date and time stuff in SQL Server.

Back to Basics
A while back I was thinking about SQL Server's capabilities of returning data as XML with FOR XML and it occurred to me that maybe returning 10.000 results as xml would be faster that the way SQL server returns them now in Tabular Data Stream (TDS). After 10 seconds I dismissed it as nonsense because if that were so the xml would be used by default. But it piqued my curiosity about what would be the actual size overhead of returning XML compared to TDS. I knew there was overhead but i didn't think it would be so high.
So i...

I rarely go log into IRC channels, and had not done it after I got this laptop last summer. When I do (there will be an unbutuforums meeting I can attend in a few minutes), I use xchat. I know there is a whole set of IRC clients, but this is the first one I used, and it fits my very basic needs.
Surprisingly, there was no sound on this default fresh install (Ubuntu Hardy). I created a
~/.xchat2/sounds file which was missing and copied a .wav file from
/usr/share/sounds, then enabled it from xchat preferences menu. All set!
Looking around, I found a xchat-gnome package that I will try soon.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Linking European natural gas markets to Azerbaijan will be a win-win situation for both parties, the European ambassador to Baku said.
Roland Kobia, the European Union's ambassador to Azerbaijan, addressed delegates at an oil and natural gas conference in Baku.
The EU aims to break the Russian grip on the regional natural gas sector with its Southern Corridor, a network of gas transit networks planned from the Caspian region.
"The opening of the Southern Gas corridor will be the winning situation for the both sides," Kobia was quoted by the region's Trend news service as saying. "By linking these two markets through the Southern Gas Corridor, Azerbaijan will increase its diversification of export routes, as well the EU will diversify its import sources."
A consortium working in the Azeri waters of the Caspian Sea, led by BP, is expected next year to decide between the Nabucco West pipeline and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline as the conduit for Azeri natural gas.
"The EU wants the Southern Gas corridor to be transformed into reality and be opened," said Kobia.
Europe gets about 20 percent of its natural gas from Russia, though most of that runs through Ukraine's gas transit system.

Updating your kitchen: Keeping it on trend for 2013
Kitchens have taken on a whole new social life recently, changing from a designated "behind the scenes" work area to a room often more lived in than our lounges or dining rooms. Modern styles have come to reflect that, using contemporary designs and appliance integration to create a clutter-free living space that's suitable for dining and entertaining as well as cooking. While there are a number of practical ways in which we can achieve this new trend, we're going to focus on some of the easier design aspects, giving you the opportunity to give your kitchen a refresher without having to spend a fortune.
Changing the colour scheme of the walls and floor is one of the fastest and most effective ways to update your kitchen. Modern designs tend to go for minimalist look, so pale hues with bold contrasting features are definitely the way forward. White or off-white with a border of black tiles definitely gives this effect, creating a bright yet stylised design.
Backsplashes over the counters are traditionally created with tiles, but the grouting can sometimes be difficult to keep clean. Glass backsplashes are the latest trend, reducing workload by only requiring a quick wipe-down once in a while. The extra bonus is that you can place an intricate design or tile pattern behind the glass front, keeping your creation clean and beautiful!
Updating the flooring in your kitchen can take a little more work, but makes a huge difference to the look and feel of the room. Your choices are almost endless, but make sure you go for something that matches the rest of the room. Wood or bamboo looks impressive and is bang on trend right now, but if the rest of your kitchen is already very bright or is particularly large, it can give it a washed-out look. If this is the case, large dark tiles create a heavier base to the room, and as a bonus they're also incredibly durable.

You could walk to my place! I'm at Lakeshore and 29th, LOL. You're the first Etobicokian I've met on this forum, I think...
I just checked out Mississauga Animal Services. OMG breaks my heart to see how many cats they have. Well, I've just added another to my list of shelters to check, haha! I swear, if anyone outside of this forum knew how much time I actually spend looking for a second dog...well, I'm pretty sure I'd be locked up in the looney bin right now. But they don't understand that I am trying to find a new family member. I don't think I'm that picky, but I want to make sure that we are the perfect home for the dog we choose!
I think that it is very responsible of you to decline some that do not fit your lifestyle and visa versa. I wish there were more people that would know what they can and cannot offer a potential pet. If more knew their limitations and what was involved in having companion pets - there would be less animals abandoned and unnecessarily euthanized.
BenMax, he is a heartbreaker, that's for sure! And his name is hilarious Where did you find the little guy?
But if they're looking for someone who's home most of the day, then we're definitely not the right home for him Although Milo is always around, lol! I also wonder if the layout of our apartment would be a problem - it's two storeys, with the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms upstairs. I know other rescues I've seen with blind dogs specified they would prefer single-level homes, which makes sense. Not that I would mind carrying him up and down the stairs! Either way, I hope he finds his forever home soon.
As for knowing your limits...amen to that! I've seen too many people give up their pets because they didn't think things through beforehand. If I'm going to be completely honest, we probably shouldn't have adopted Autumn. I don't know if we were really the best home for her...we had next to no dog experience (my mom had a dog a long time ago that was fully grown and already trained when she got it), and were not prepared to deal with the behavioural issues Autumn had (some she still has). The difference is that we wouldn't give up on her, but too many people get in over their heads and feel their only option is to give the dog up. I love Autumn, but the experience has taught me to think very carefully about each and every dog I consider, and to make sure I'm equipped to handle the dog - financially, emotionally, training-wise, etc.
Like I said on my other thread, I'm home sick today and I'm going to be spending a loooot of time on the boards this fine Friday. (All of the most recent posts the whole way down the list are going to be from "EndOfFashion", lol)
So, here's another update. Looks like we weren't chosen for the dog we applied for. So it's back to the drawing board, I guess. :sad: Seriously, I'm not sure we'll be approved by any rescue that does not function on a first-come, first served basis. There will always be a home better than ours - our situation may not look that impressive on paper, but we love our furkids to pieces and I think we're being overlooked because we're young, we rent, etc. Any rescue people want to add their to this?
I would come to Montreal if I could! It depends on the date, really. Unfortunately my days off are Sundays and Mondays, which doesn't always work for everyone. :sad: And of course, if my boyfriend has to be present (which I'm sure is the case with any reputable rescue!), that limits us to Sunday, because he works a regular Monday-Friday week. But you can definitely let me know if a Pug comes in and I can try to re-jig my schedule...

Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond is the second largest loch of Scotland, the largest body of fresh water in Britain and probably the most famous after Loch Ness. It is part of the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Scotland's first national park. It is a beautiful region to take a break from the stressful modern life and to just relax. The southern end of the loch is quite flat, but the scenery soon become more mountainous and distinctly wild by the time your reach the north end. To the north-east lie the Trossachs with its Loch Katerine and Loch Array.
and villages:
Get in
By Train
Local trains run frequently from Balloch to Glasgow. The station in Balloch is easy to find and all the trains go to Glasgow. To get from Glasgow to Balloch, the trains leave about every half hour from the Low-level platforms at Queen Street station.
Several (4 or 5?) trains a day between Glasgow and Oban or Fort William stop at Tarbert and Ardlui on the north-west shore. These leave from the upper level of Queen Street station.
By Bus
Buses run frequently between Balloch and Glasgow.
Several buses a day between Glasgow and Campbeltown, Oban or Fort William, travel along the western shore (A82). These will stop on request at most places, including Luss, Inverbeg, Tarbert and Ardlui. See Scottish Citylink for more details.
Get around
By Bike
To enjoy the nature, it is best to go by bike. There's a (relatively!) well-maintained and -signposted cycleway from Glasgow to Balloch. A good place to join it is Bells Bridge over the Clyde by the SECC. It's a fairly flat 20-25 miles.
By Bus
Buses run along the Loch, but not that frequentetly (see above). You should check the departure-times first, as timetable are not usually available at the stops.
By car
If you're driving, mind that the road along the northern part of Loch Lomond is pretty narrow for the traffic it has.
By Boat
Sightseeing trips by boat run from Loch Lomond Shores near Balloch.
There is also a useful passenger ferry between Inverbeg (served by Citylink buses) and Rowardennan (at the foot of Ben Lomond mountain). Timetable information here.
The Clachan Inn in Drymen - Scotland's oldest registered licensed premises (1734) - nice pub with good food and friendly atmosphere.
There is a small pub, with outside terrace and nearby pier for boat moorings, on the island of Inchmurrin in the centre of the loch. A ferry is available from Midross, on the A82, to the island.
Get out

The "we need the 2nd amendment to fight tyranny" argument is amusing.
This thread is reserved specifically for the pro-gun argument, claiming that most (if not all) forms of gun control are unconstitutional because the 2nd amendment is intended to protect us from governmental tyranny. I believe it is a hollow argument made by hypocritical people.
This argument almost altogether surfaces from the conservative movement and DC conservatives. The argument goes as follows: if we enact a bunch of gun control measures, the government will have a much easier pathway towards installing tyrannical rule by force.
And yet this same conservative movement has been on the front lines arguing for limits to amendments much more crucial to protecting us from tyranny. Friedersdorf, proving once again that he's one of the best commentators on the internet, cites specifically the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments, all of which have been weakened through various legislation in the 21st century, with conservatives cheering every time.
I think there are various arguments to be made for gun proliferation, and protection from tyranny may be one of them. But coming from a bloc of folks who've supported suspending habeus corpus, attacking privacy, and embracing enhanced interrogation... it's sure as shit a hollow one to make.
The Strangest Conservative Priority: Prepping a '2nd Amendment Solution'
The Bill of Rights offers much smarter, more effective ways to safeguard liberty than preparing for armed insurrection.
By Conor Friedersdorf
Jan 2 2013, 6:00 AM ET509
In the National Review, Kevin Williamson argues that nearly everyone calling for gun control either doesn't understand or refuses to address the actual purpose of the 2nd Amendment. They talk, he says, as if there's no legitimate reason for an American to have military grade weapons, as if the 2nd Amendment protects mere hunting and home security. "The purpose of having citizens armed with paramilitary weapons is to allow them to engage in paramilitary actions," Williamson writes. "There is no legitimate exception to the Second Amendment for military-style weapons, because military-style weapons are precisely what the Second Amendment guarantees our right to keep and bear. The purpose of the Second Amendment is to secure our ability to oppose enemies foreign and domestic, a guarantee against disorder and tyranny."
Walter E. Williams makes a similar argument in a Townhall column. "There have been people who've ridiculed the protections afforded by the Second Amendment, asking what chance would citizens have against the military might of the U.S. government," he writes. "Military might isn't always the deciding factor. Our 1776 War of Independence was against the mightiest nation on the face of the earth -- Great Britain. In Syria, the rebels are making life uncomfortable for the much-better-equipped Syrian regime. Today's Americans are vastly better-armed than our founders, Warsaw Ghetto Jews and Syrian rebels. There are about 300 million privately held firearms owned by Americans. That's nothing to sneeze at. And notice that the people who support gun control are the very people who want to control and dictate our lives."
What do I think about this relatively common argument within the conservative movement? For now, I'll refrain from answering. If you're looking for considered objections, read Matt Steinglass in The Economist. In this item, we're going to proceed as if the arguments above are correct -- that there is a real danger of the U.S. government growing tyrannical; that the people must preserve checks on its power; and that the Framers best understood how to do so.
I respect that general reasoning.
What I can't respect are the conservatives who invoke it during political battles over gun control, even as they ignore or actively oppose so many other important attempts to safeguard liberty.
Their inconsistency is incoherent.
Let me explain at greater length what I mean.
Even if we presume that the 2nd Amendment exists partly so that citizens can rise up if the government gets tyrannical, it is undeniable that the Framers built other safeguards into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to prevent things from ever getting so bad as to warrant an insurrection. Federalism was one such safeguard; the separation of powers into three branches was another; and the balance of the Bill of Rights was the last of the major safeguards.
If a "2nd Amendment solution" is ever warranted, it'll mean our system already failed in numerous ways; that "solution" is also easily the most costly and dangerous of the safeguards we have.
It would probably mean another Civil War.
Yet the conservative movement is only reliable when it defends the 2nd Amendment. Otherwise, it is an inconsistent advocate for safeguarding liberty. Conservatives pay occasional lip service to federalism, but are generally hypocrites on the subject, voting for bills like No Child Left Behind, supporting a federally administered War on Drugs, and advocating for federal legislation on marriage. (Texas governor Rick Perry is the quintessential hypocrite on this subject).
And on the Bill of Rights, the conservative movement is far worse. Throughout the War on Terrorism, organizations like the ACLU and the Center of Constitutional Rights have reliably objected to Bush/Cheney/Obama policies, including warrantless spying on innocent Americans, indefinite detention without charges or trial, and the extrajudicial assassination of Americans. The Nation and Mother Jones reliably admit that the executive power claims made by Bush/Yoo/Obama/Koh exceed Madisonian limits and prudence informed by common sense.
Meanwhile, on the right, The Heritage Foundation, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and sundry others are more often than not active cheerleaders for those very same War on Terror policies. Due process? Warrants? Congressional oversight? You must have a pre-9/11 mindset.
It's one thing to argue that gun control legislation is a nonstarter, despite tens of thousands of deaths by gunshot per year, because the safeguards articulated in the Bill of Rights are sacrosanct. I can respect that... but not from people who simultaneously insist that 3,000 dead in a terrorist attack justifies departing from the plain text of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth amendments, and giving the president de-facto power to declare war without Congressional approval.
The conservative movement has a broad, textualist reading of the 2nd Amendment... and nothing else.
I don't understand a subset of the rank-and-file either.
If you're a gun owner who worries that gun control today could make tyranny easier to impose tomorrow, I get that, and if you worry about federal excesses generally, I have no argument with you.
I think law-abiding Americans should always be allowed to own guns.
But if you're a conservative gun owner who worries that gun control today could make tyranny easier to impose tomorrow, and you support warrantless spying, indefinite detention, and secret drone strikes on Americans accused of terrorism, what explains your seeming schizophrenia?
Think of it this way.
If you were a malign leader intent on imposing tyranny, what would you find more useful, banning high-capacity magazines... or a vast archive of the bank records, phone calls, texts and emails of millions of citizens that you could access in secret? Would you, as a malign leader, feel more empowered by a background check requirement on gun purchases... or the ability to legally kill anyone in secret on your say so alone? The powers the Republican Party has given to the presidency since 9/11 would obviously enable far more grave abuses in the hands of a would be tyrant than any gun control legislation with even a miniscule chance of passing Congress. So why are so many liberty-invoking 2nd Amendment absolutists reliable Republican voters, as if the GOP's stance on that issue somehow makes up for its shortcomings? And why do they so seldom speak up about threats to the Bill of Rights that don't involve guns?
In the National Review piece I quoted at the beginning of this article, Kevin Williamson approvingly quotes "the words of Supreme Court justice Joseph Story -- who was, it bears noting, appointed to the Court by the guy who wrote the Constitution." Here's the quoted passage:
It's time to admit as much.
I believe in an individual right to bear arms, and I have no problem with Americans who advocate on behalf of that right. If the feds start rounding up innocents to slaughter I have no problem with an armed citizenry fighting back. But folks who want to guard against a tyrannical government are foolish to focus on the 2nd Amendment while abandoning numerous other rights for fear of terrorism. The right to bear arms is the costliest liberty we have, in terms of innocent lives lost as an unintended byproduct; it is very unlikely to be exercised against the U.S. government in the foreseeable future; and its benefits are less important to securing liberty than habeus corpus and due process, as the experience of other free peoples demonstrates. I understand why people advocate on behalf of the right to bear arms, despite the costs; I don't understand why so many behave as if it is the most important safeguard against tyranny to maintain.

The next morning, I was feeling really bad. The pain was more intense and mainly felt on the right side of my belly. I started thinking that it was maybe appendicitis too. My wife took me to the Medical Center and
my fears came true.
They said I had an

. The doctor examined me and told me that I needed to be operated as soon as possible. This of course was not possible in Samothraki, since he was the only doctor on the island and there were not suitable medical facilities and operating rooms on the island. And they needed to find an ultrasound machine or CT scanner.
Normally I would get on a boat and be transferred back to Alexandroupoli to be operated by a surgeon at the local hospital. The doctor said that we could not wait much more so he was forced to ask for assistance, so that I could be transported to a hospital by air. The fact is that Samothraki does not have an airport or proper runway. For this emergency situations they managed to persuade a brave pilot to land on a farmers field.transported to a hospital by air.
Samothraki is a medium sized island but it's not very densely populated. Only around 3-4 thousand people live on the island and most of them are situated at the area around the seaport. So it's a very warm and friendly community where most people know each other by his first name. My situation was actually the news of the day for everyone living on the island.friendly community
So the doctor finally decided to make his request and about one hour later a small

arrived from Thessaloniki for me with a pilot and a doctor. I went on the plane with my wife and we left the island.
The new doctor examined me on the plane and told the pilot that my situation was not that urgent, therefore we would be better to fly to Thessaloniki and not Alexandroupoli that was a few minutes closer to Samothraki.fly to Thessaloniki
Of course I would immediately get to the operating room. It took us one hour and 10 minutes to take off from Samothraki and land at Thessaloniki airport. An ambulance was waiting there and in a few more minutes I was taken to AHEPA General Hospital , where I had a CT scan that shows a recently ruptured appendix, and so I then went to surgery.AHEPA General Hospital ruptured appendix,
Everything ended up well I suppose, besides the fact that I lost most of my holidays last summer. The people in Samothraki where very kind and helpful. I even got a telephone from the local doctor to ask me how I was a couple of days later and of course I thanked him for his valuable help. I also got a "get well soon" card from my hotel in Samothraki, wishing me the best and informing me that they invite me next summer to their hotel free of charge to spend the vacations I didn't have the chance to finish last summer.

SAVAR, Bangladesh (AP) -- The 19-year-old seamstress who spent 17 days trapped in the rubble of a collapsed factory building said Monday that she will never again work in a Bangladesh garment factory.
Reshma Begum was pulled in remarkably good shape from the wreckage of the eight-story Rana Plaza building on Friday. Stunned rescue workers were drawn to the wide pocket under the rubble where she had taken refuge when they heard her banging on a pipe.
Begum was brought in a wheelchair to speak with journalists just outside her room in the intensive care unit of a military hospital. She suffered a head injury in the collapse, and part of her head was covered Monday with a light violet shawl.
Flanked by a nurse a psychiatrist and another doctor, she initially appeared dazed and fragile and spoke in a voice so low it was impossible to hear.
Finally, in a low shaky voice, she recounted her ordeal.
She said she moved to the Dhaka area three years ago and began working. On April 2, she joined a garment factory on the second floor of Rana Plaza, where she earned 4,700 takas ($60) a month.
On the morning of April 24, she heard there were cracks in the building and saw co-workers, mainly men, refusing to enter. The managers reassured them: "There is no problem. You do your work," she said.
Soon after, the building crashed down around her.
"When it happened I fell down and was injured in the head heavily. Then I found myself in darkness," she said. She tried to crawl to safety, but could not find a way out, she said.
She survived on four packets of cookies she had with her and some water, she said.
"Another person, a man, was near me. He asked for water. I could not help him. He died. He screamed, 'Save me,' but he died," she said. "I can't remember everything that happened."
"I never thought of coming back alive," she said.
Brig. Gen. Ashfaq, a psychiatrist at the hospital who uses only one name, said Begum was puzzled and confused when she was rescued.
"She got panicked when someone touched her," he said. "Now she is doing fine, better. We have talked a lot with her."
Begum's survival has been a rare moment of joy amid the morbid task of removing bodies from the disaster site. On Monday, with a death toll of 1,127, the military announced it was ending its search for bodies from the building.
The tragedy has created global pressure for reform in the Bangladeshi garment industry. But Begum said she will not be drawn back into such work.
"I will not work in a garment factory again," she said.

This is what the Lord says: "Don't let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone:that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
none, you should be a mod. No srsly, I really think u should be a mod. It would be alot more fun. They should consider giving you that position. In fact, if they were fair, they would also put a theist as a mod too. At least one. Me for example. I think if we runned this shit together, it would be much more amusing.
Jesus was a carpenter...that is Audacious....Born a king.......disappears for 30 years turns from a carpenter into a Messiah....what happened to him being born a Messiah? those 30 missing years are puzzling to say the least.
