Trashy Diva is one of the stores that I always check out on my visits to the French Quarter, although I've never gotten up the nerve to try their dresses. On the surface, they don't look like they would be full bust friendly. Luckily, a combination of their huge sale this week (it goes until Thursday so don't miss out!) and someone to advise me on sizing meant that I got up the courage to try again via the internet. Thank goodness I did, because these dresses are great!
You've probably seen other fashion bloggers raving about Trashy Diva dresses, but here's the short version: Trashy Diva is a New Orleans based boutique that focuses on classic style that verge on vintage reproductions. They sell in lots of boutiques, have two boutiques of their own in NOLA, and have great internet service.
I'm going to talk about each of the dresses individually but here are some tips if you want to try some for yourself:
1) The rayon dresses have virtually no stretch, so take the size charts seriously.
2) If you're in doubt, call and ask your question. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful, and didn't seem to think me asking a bunch of questions about whether my breasts would fit into their dresses was awkward at all.
3) These dresses need to be dry cleaned (no handwashing allowed), so you can't cheat and wash them like you can with some PUG dresses. If you hate dry cleaning, these may not be for you.
4) Even though the Sadie dresses aren't very revealing, the cut of the V-neck means you will probably need a plunge bra with them if you're in the H+ cup range. I'm wearing a Curvy Kate Angel bra with the Paradise dress, for reference.
This dress felt a little ironic, as it's 29 degrees here this week and I've spent most of it in furry slippers freezing my butt off. I wanted a tropical dress for an upcoming beach holiday, and this felt perfect. I love the pocket details, and it highlights my waist beautifully. I'm actually hiding the one major flaw with my hair: my bra straps show! I don't have a problem with that, and will just end up buying a short sleeved shrug to cover them. I suspect I will get lots of wear out of this during hot summers here. In terms of size, the chart says this only goes up to a 42.5 inch bust measurement, but I'm at 43.
I love that the print is tropical without being as literal as a tiki print. The birds and the color combination makes this an unusual and beautiful print dress.
Sadie Ruffle Dress in Mardi Gras Print, Size 14:
These two dresses are the same shape in two different prints. The 14 was listed as my exact measurements and fits like a glove! You can't tell in this picture, but the details on these dresses are incredible. Vintage-style rhinestone buttons add some great sparkle to the front of the dress, and the belt matches the dress pattern perfectly. While I love my Pinup Girl Clothing dresses, I'm not always impressed with the quality of the belts that are included with some dresses. This belt is heavy duty, has lots of holes to fit various body types and will hold up. Given the climate that I live in, this dress is basically seasonless. I'll wear it in winter with black tights and a cardigan and in the summer as is.
I love the festive feel of this and how NOLA it is, all while not being too loud. The pastel colors are lovely against the black background, and the pattern is busy without being overwhelming.
Sadie Ruffle Dress in Slap and Tickle Print:
I haven't purchased a pink dress ever in my adult life, but I loved this print so much I couldn't resist. It's flirty and feels retro in a cool way rather than a musty one. This dress, despite being the same cut and size as the Mardi Gras print one, felt like it was slightly bigger on me. You can see the ruffles on the hip better on this one, I think. Again, with a black cardigan and black tights this will work perfectly for all seasons for me.
This print has a slightly racy sense of fun while still being subtle enough to wear out to basically any occasion. It would be perfect for a night out at a french inspired restaurant, but I'm going to see if I can get away with it at work stuff too.
If you want to take advantage of the amazing Trashy Diva sale on currently, just use the code sale20 at checkout until 12/14. The code only works on sale items, but there is a fairly wide range left in lots of prints!

The Arbitration Act 2005 has repealed the Arbitration Act 1952 together with the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards Act 1985. However it as demonstrated in the following there were still challenges facing a party seeking to enforce a foreign arbitral award under the Foreign Arbitral Awards Convention Act in Malaysia before the Federal Courts ruling in 2010.
The problem revolves around the fact that The Yang Di Pertuan Agong did not notify or order in the Gazette any of the contracting states to the New York Convention or the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards Act.
Section 2(2) of the Foreign Arbitral Awards Convention Act states "The Yang Di Pertuan Agong may, by order in the Gazette, declare that any state specified in the order is a party to the New York Convention and that order shall, while in force, be conclusive evidence that a state is a party to the said Convention"
We refer below to the Courts decisions in respect of two cases namely Sri Lanka Cricket v World Sports Nimbus Pte Ltd [2006] and Alami Vegetable Oil and Products Sdn Bhd v Lombard Commodities Limited [2009]
Sri Lanka Cricket v World Sport Nimbus Pte Ltd 2 CLJ316 [2006]
In this case the Court of Appeal heard the application for the registration and enforcement of an arbitral award from Singapore. The Court of Appeal held that the arbitral award could not be recognised due to there being no notice in the Gazette. The Court did propose that enforcement in Malaysia may be possible under the provisions of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958 or alternatively sue under the award in a common law action. Neither option were a quick option of enforcement in Malaysia
Alami Vegetable Oil Products Sdn Bhd v Lombard Commodities Limited MLJU 0214 [2009]
In the instance the arbitral award was made in the United Kingdom but on the grounds that the notice was never posted in the gazette as referred above the Appeal Court refused to register the foreign award. The Court also mentioned other irregularities in respect of failure of the appellant to produce an arbitration agreement. It should be noted that the award was attempting to be enforced in Malaysia under Section 27 of the Arbitration Act 1952 together with the Foreign Arbitral Awards Convention Act 1985.
Lombard Commodities Limited v Alami Vegetable Oil Products Sdn Bhd CLJ 137 [2010]
Lombard Commodities Limited appealed the Appeal Court decision and in 2010 the Federal Court where the court held that due to the use of the word 'may' in Section 2(2) of the Foreign Arbitral Awards Convention Act 1985 it was not a pre-condition that the countries be notified in the Gazette to enforce a foreign arbitral award and further there was nothing precluding alternative evidence being used to establish if a state was a convention state.
In conclusion it would appear that foreign arbitral awards from convention states will now be recognised by the Malaysian Courts for enforcement as firstly the Arbitration Act 2005 does not make reference to the Gazette notification as did the 1952 Act and that the Federal Court has made a clear statement that the Gazette notification is no longer grounds for Malaysia not recognising a foreign arbitral award from a convention state.
Act 320 convention on Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards Act 1985

Good morning everyone,
I would like extend my sincere thanks to all of you for helping make Friday possible.
Our very first Shred Day event was a great success. I received the final totals on our event just a few moments ago. I am happy to say that we shredded 10,215 lbs of paper for the public, and in return generated a total of $2,220.40 for the Children's Wish Foundation and PGI.
It works out to be:
$1130.20 for The Children's Wish Foundation and
$1090.20 for PGI
(The $40 difference is because of a cheque that was donated specifically to Children's Wish)
I am very happy with the results, and hope to work with you all again at some point.
Have a great day!
Thank you,

Fun Friday: "Are we going to catch that Sirius Black dude?" Dean asked Sam.
Hi, everyone. My name is Carlie, and I like fanfiction. (Want to know more about fanfiction and the people that create it? Come to the panel that Liz and I are presenting that the YALSA YA Lit Symposium in November!) Specifically, I like drabbles, a form of fanfiction in which the entire story takes place in exactly 100 words. Often, people write drabbles around one very specific idea, or sometimes a word prompt, anything from "storm" to "dedication" to "triumph."
Your Fun Friday event is to write a drabble based on one of my favorite TV shows, books, or movies: Harry Potter, Sweet Valley High, Numb3rs, House, M.D., Star Trek: The Next Generation, Veronica Mars, CSI Las Vegas, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Supernatural, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Casino Royale, Ocean's 11. The drabble must somehow involve a library because that's what we do around here and contain the word "birthday" because mine is coming up on the 17th. Other than that, anything is fair game.
Here are some prompts to get you started, Feel free to use these if they suit you, or come up with your own idea:
- Tell me about the shining moment of Dean Winchester's high school career.
- Charlie Eppes finds out math really can't solve all his problems.
- Who was the first patient Gregory House couldn't save in time?
- Jack Skellington decides to celebrate Easter.
- What other career(s) did Beverly Crusher consider before becoming a doctor?
- Gil Grissom is assigned a lab partner in college who hates dissection.
- Complete this line of dialogue: Harry said, "Ginny, I hate to tell you this, but I really like..."
The writer of the drabble I like best gets their choice of books: A galley of Confessions of a Serial Kisser by Wendelin Van Draanen, a paperback of Klepto by Jenny Pollack, a paperback of The Squad: Killer Spirit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, or a galley of The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson.
(Really, if it's not exactly 100 words I won't yell at you. Just have fun.)

Now that laptops powered by AMD Turion 64 X2 (code name Taylor) has arrived lot of hype and news is doing rounds on the internet and it is right time to know completely about the new dual core Turions. Tom's hardware has reviewed the AMD Dual Core Turion 64 X2. Turion 64 X2 is AMD's 64-bit dual-core mobile processor, intended to compete with Intel's Core Duo (yonah) and Core 2 Duo (merom) processors. These processors also feature AMD Virtualization Technology which is equal to Intel Viiv Technology. The processors are available in four model i.e TL-50: 1600 MHz (256 KB L2 Cache per core), TL-52: 1600 MHz (512 KB L2 Cache per core), TL-56: 1800 MHz (512 KB L2 Cache per core) and TL-60: 2000 MHz (512 KB L2 Cache per core).
Specifications of Turion 64 X2 (code name Taylor):
- Dual AMD64 core
- L1 cache: 64 + 64 KB (data + instructions) per core
- L2 cache: 256 or 512 KiB per core, fullspeed
- Memory controller: dual channel DDR2-667 MHz
- MMX, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, AMD64, PowerNow!, NX Bit
- Socket S1, HyperTransport (800 MHz, HT800)
- Power consumption (TDP): 31, 33, 35 Watt max
- Clock rate: 1600, 1800, 2000 MHz
Turion 64 X2 Block Diagram:
Photos of Turion 64 X2 along with Turion 64 ( note the form factor):
Socket of Turion 64 X2
Though AMD has not landed a great coup with the Turion 64 X2, the first 64 bit CPU with two execution units for laptops, the engineers in Dresden and Sunnyvale deserve commendation. They have succeeded in developing a laptop CPU that provides considerably more performance than its single-core predecessor Turion 64, but whose power consumption is the same or only slightly higher. However, compared to an Intel platform based on the Core Duo and the company's own GM 945 chipset, the combination of AMD CPU and ATI chipset is inferior in terms of battery time and multitasking performance. Therefore, under equal conditions, it can only be regarded as the second choice – if it is worth getting at all. The Core Duo 2, Intel's next generation of laptop processors is already at hand, and first measurements show that the Core Duo 2 is even more powerful while not consuming more power.
However, this should not prevent potential laptop buyers from purchasing a Turion 64 X2 laptop. After all, a Turion 64 X2 laptop, like the MSI S271 or HP Compaq nx6325, also provides that "dual-core experience" with almost no delays when switching between concurrently running applications.
In our opinion, the most critical issue is that AMD has, for the first time, lost a vital sales proposition for its processors, namely the price advantage. Nevertheless, we continue to encourage users to purchase AMD laptops. Otherwise, Intel may become a second Waterloo for all users, relegating AMD laptop processors to the dustbins of history.

"Stick to the plan" -- it was both the message splashed across LCD screens around the venue and the strategy behind the Prime Minister's speech as the Liberal Party held a relatively demure campaign launch in western Sydney on Sunday.
Seven days after their Labor opponents held their launch, by comparison a more jubilant and upbeat affair, at Penrith in the seat of Lindsay, the government's "officially" kicked off their campaign just 40 km down the road, at Homebush in the seat of Reid. It was a no-nonsense, no surprises, business-like event (more than one person commented the launch, held in a literal conference room, felt more like a business event or lecture than the formal kick-off for an incumbent government's election pitch) as the Liberals stuck religiously to their established talking points -- strong economy, strong border, stability in their team and uncertainty on the other side.
That's not just the opinion or analysis of this press gallery journalist, either -- as PM Malcolm Turnbull took the stage in front of a rather intimate conference room of Liberal faithful, key buzzwords flashed and dissolved behind him. "Innovation", "growth", "exports", "stable government", "strong economy". Turnbull, his deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop before him and deputy PM Barnaby Joyce before her, all "stuck to the plan", levelling claims that a Labor government would be unstable, insular, scared of progress, deceitful, and built on a shaky alliance with the Greens and independents. Some surprisingly personal and direct attacks were levelled at the opposition:
- "They can't think of a policy so they're making up lies... I'm waiting for them to say we're going to hock off the moon to Mars" – Joyce
- "The Greens, Labor and Independent alliance – the Glee club" – Joyce
- "We're not scared of the future" – Joyce
- On the Medicare scare campaign - "How low will Labor go?", "monstrous Labor lies" – Bishop
- "Why such shameful behaviour? They have nothing to offer the Australian people" – Bishop
- "There's no lie too outrageous, no issue too sensitive, no person too vulnerable... [Bill Shorten] lacks the moral fibre to be Prime Minister" – Bishop
The choice of venue may have added to the lack of excitement at the event, dubbed a "campaign rally" rather than a "campaign launch". While Labor held their event in the bustling heart of Penrith, in a central part of town opposite a large shopping centre, the Liberal event was held in a conference room in a hotel in the middle of the cold concrete jungle of the Olympic precinct, far from the eyes of most citizens and a spot visited by few except in the event of a football game or concert.
There was a fair bit of meat among the 90 minutes of speeches. Turnbull, after Snapchatting his journey through the morning from preparation to taking the stage, announced $192 million for mental health services and Headspace centres and $50 million to improve digital literacy among seniors. He also pledged $64 million to crackdown on illegal firearms and criminal gangs, $48 million for the Smith Family's "learning for life" program to help disadvantaged kids get through school, and $31 million to encourage women and girls into careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
But the main message of the day seemed to be less about keeping the Liberals in, but ensuring that voters keep Labor out. Near-constant attacks on the opposition from Joyce and Bishop through their own addresses laid the platform for the PM to deliver a string of barbs of his own. Continually ramming home the message that Australia needs "stable majority government " – a dual reference to the "Rudd-Gillard years" which were also mentioned several times, and the possibility that Labor may need the support of minor parties to claim government – as well as the Coalition's economic credentials such as trade agreements and supporting business, Turnbull's speech was full of the stuff we've heard much of during the last seven weeks. Jobs. Growth. Economy. Stability. Labor bad. Greens worse. Liberals good. Never been a more exciting time to be an Australian.
"The alternative at this election is a Labor Party that has lost its way, or a protest vote for Greens or independents.Vote for any of them and you could end up with Bill Shorten as Prime Minister in a government where unions, Greens and independents pull the strings," Turnbull said, launching a new pitch that anything but a vote for the Liberals is a vote for Labor. It is no surprise that this approach comes as the Nick Xenophon Team and other minor parties become the beneficiaries of a blowback against the major parties.
"This will mean less investment, less employment and an economy going into reverse. It would mean higher deficits and more debt."
The new pitch, that voters should not vote for minor parties as a protest against the majors, was a major theme of his 4000-word speech. He even called out current senators Nick Xenophon, Jacqui Lambie and Glenn Lazarus by name, claiming their candidates couldn't be trusted, and even mentioned perennial election loser Pauline Hanson, running in Queensland.
"That is why I counsel Australians against a roll of the dice on independents or minor parties. Vote for anyone other than the Liberal and National Party candidates, and the risk is that Australians will next week find themselves with Bill Shorten as Prime Minister -- and no certainty about their future," the PM said.
"That is why I am urging every Australian to think of this election as if their single vote will determine what sort of government we have after July 2."
Then, suddenly, abruptly, it was over. The official Liberal Party launch, six days from election day. Just six days to go.

The house church concept stems from Acts 2:42-47, which describes the early Christians meeting and worshiping in homes. Many people start or join house churches because they want to try it, haven't benefited from a local church or are part of a group that is ready to form its own church. According to SmallGroups.com, a website that provides resources to small church groups, the advantages of a house church include not worrying about a large building or creating programs and not having to figure out outreach strategies.
Pray. According to SmallGroups.com, prayer is "the first step to starting a house church." It's not enough to start a house church simply because it seems to be a good idea; it must also be God's idea. Praying gives you a chance to determine if starting a house church is the right thing to do and something to which you're ready to devote time and effort.
Figure out your target worshiper. To keep a house church at a manageable size keep a particular type of member in mind. For example, target worshipers could be business owners, new believers or young adults. Instead of trying to be popular, a house church must focus on developing a strong, committed group of people who support one another.
Plan a place to worship. The best home is one that easily accommodates up to 12 worshipers, according to SmallGroups.com. Some house groups always meet at the same home while others rotate among members' homes.
Figure out how your house church will worship. Determine if one individual will always lead the service or if members will take turns leading. Also, figure out the layout of the services: time for music, fellowship, the Bible lesson and study, and so on.
Schedule meeting times. Gene Edwards, author of "How to Start a House Church from Scratch," recommends house church groups gather at least once a week.

Meeting of the group of Least Developed Countries
New York, September 26, 2011
France welcomes the success of the Istanbul conference, the adoption of the political declaration and the Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries. Now that the first G20 ministerial meeting on development has just finished, France stresses the convergence between the work on the Least Developed Countries and that done in the G20 framework, because the ministerial declaration adopted on 26 September contains a reference to the Istanbul Programme of Action and concentrates on two priorities:
infrastructure and food security, which are also highly relevant priorities for the Least Developed Countries.
Regarding the implementation of the Istanbul Programme of Action, France is giving special attention to the category of Least Developed Countries and concentrating her official development assistance resources on 14 priority countries, 13 of which are Least Developed Countries. We have made a commitment to dedicate 0.15% of our gross national product to the Least Developed Countries, in line with the goal in the Istanbul Programme of Action. In 2009, our aid amounted to 0.15% of our gross national product, and the initial indications for 2010 are encouraging, because they indicate a 27% increase in our bilateral aid to the Least Developed Countries.
Still on the implementation of the Istanbul Programme of Action, France shares the consensus beginning to emerge that this Programme of Action's recommendations should be integrated into the large international summits, particularly the [2012] United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in the Rio+20 framework.
In conclusion, on the essential issue of graduation, France believes this is the flagship aim of the Istanbul Programme of Action and is very ambitious because it means 24 countries are embarking on the graduation process by 2020. We believe the countries proposed for graduation by the ECOSOC committee must indeed leave the Least Developed Countries category within a reasonable period.
Finally, in the framework of the Working Group on Smooth Transition, France will give priority to focusing on the period following graduation, in order to ensure that departure from the Least Developed Countries category is sustainable. (…)./.

How do we solve the Talent Scarcity Dilemma?
What do most organisations find to be their biggest challenge if not the lack of right skills in their workforce at the moment.., or? What could HR do more to successfully find and tap into the hidden exceptional talent already within our organisation and how can we in the most efficient way provide our E´s with the tailored developmental experiences that will assure retention of a sustainable workforce.
Is it a collective awakening of employers of what the true impact of talent shortage on the business might do or is it still a question that all of us are fishing in the same waters and predetermine how talent looks like? By changing our lens and challenge our focus, companies can understand talent spotting rather than exhaust themselves on the single question of what the Talent shortage will affect. Until we crack the code, dare to stick to our core values, cast a sober light on what really drives sustainable workforce – we need to stop running in circles and try to outbid other employers if we actually believe culture eats compensation for breakfast.

It is an hour or two before the Sabbath, and customers spill out of Gershon Hickmann's small grocery shop in Ramat Shlomo dressed in the sober costume of Hasidic Jewry and clutching bags crammed with loaves of challah bread for their Friday evening meals.
Despite the utilitarianism of the East Jerusalem suburb's homes, there is a sense of timelessness, born of the settlement's religious devotion and semi-rural setting.
Yet across the valley, black smoke rises from burning barricades beyond the Palestinian refugee camp of Shuafat. No one affects to notice the fumes, nor the distant popping of tear gas canisters and stun grenades, a reminder of the almost daily clashes that have erupted between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces ever since Ramat Shlomo found itself at the centre of unwanted international attention.
For Jewish settler families, there is nothing controversial about the plans to erect 1,600 new homes. But for Washington they represent an insult that has reduced relations between the United States and Israel to their lowest ebb in a generation. The friendship that has been a cornerstone of American foreign policy for 40 years and sustained a small democracy in a perilously hostile neighbourhood has moved on to novel, shaky ground.
Rather than peace process, the new buzz phrase in Washington is "regime modification", as the Obama administration examines how it can force a rupture in the ruling right-wing coalition and put talks between the Israelis and Palestinians back on a real meaningful track.
Israel chose to announce the expansion of Ramat Shlomo as Joe Biden, the US vice president, was in the Holy Land to clinch an agreement to relaunch indirect negotiations which were regarded as the first albeit limited sign of progress of the Obama era.
Initially Mr Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, shook hands and made up. But inside the White House there is no appetite for reconciliation. Under the direction of President Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, was ordered to give Mr Netanyahu a telephonic dressing down in which she demanded the homes plan be rescinded.
Mr Obama has invested his prestige heavily in securing a peace deal in the Middle East that has eluded his predecessors – saying it would happen two years from taking office – and this was the latest but greatest rebuke Mr Netanyahu had delivered.
"Behind his cool detached demeanour, there is a part of Obama that is easily frustrated, almost arrogant. I am sure he has reached boiling point," said Aaron David Miller, a senior Middle East negotiator in the Clinton administration.
A frostiness bordering on animosity has been evident since the two leaders first met last May and Mr Obama demanded a freeze on new settlements and placed the greater burden of compromise on the Israelis than the Palestinians.
Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli consul general to Washington, characterised the relationship between the White House and the prime minister's office as "almost unprecedentedly non-existent".
Hostilities ran both ways. Mr Netanyahu last year reportedly said that David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel, the two most senior Obama aides, were "self-hating Jews".
Axelrod has an Obama campaign poster in Hebrew on his office wall. Emanuel is taking his son to Israel soon for his bar mitzvah; he volunteered for the Israeli Defence Force in the 1991 Gulf War. "These are not the actions of self-hating Jews," said a source close to the White House.
This week, Mr Netanyahu's brother-in-law called Mr Obama an "anti-semite". The in-house magazine of Shas, a Right-wing party in the Netanyahu coalition led by interior minister Eli Yishai – the man blamed for the Ramat Shlomo decision – described the US president as "a Muslim and an amateur".
Mr Netanyahu has never been popular in Washington. When he was first prime minister in the 1990s, a state department official under Bill Clinton was asked how the United States viewed Mr Netanyahu. "We hate him," came the reply.
Mr Clinton was able to elbow the Israeli out of office by appealing over his head to the Israeli public. The key question now for the Obama administration is how hard to push – not to remove Mr Netanyahu altogether – but to form a new coalition with Tzipi Livni and her centrist Kadima party.
"There is potential to use this crisis and say we have to move forward," said Steve Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation think tank. "The coalition is fragile and Netanyahu is not that popular, while Livni is trying to position herself as a potential coalition partner. This is at least a chance to finally and fully dictate American expectations. There are people in the White House who get this."
The weekend brought a fresh round of diplomacy and violence.
Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, arrived in the West Bank on Saturday to meet Palestinian leaders and press for a resumption of talks.
He said the world had condemned Israel's expansion plans in East Jerusalem.
"Let us be clear: all settlement activity is illegal anywhere in occupied territory, and this must stop," he added.
His visit began hours after at least 11 people were injured in Israeli air strikes which targeted Gaza's disused international airport in the second night of raids since a Palestinian rocket killed an Israeli farm worker on Thursday.
All eyes and ears will be on Hillary Clinton tomorrow [Mon] when she delivers a speech at the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful lobby group that critics say has kept Washington policy too close to Netanyahu's centre-right Likud party over the years.
In the past few days Washington has softened its rhetoric, abandoning unprecedentedly strong diplomatic language such as "condemn". Mr Obama said the disagreement was not a "crisis" and tried to portray it as a healthy dispute between friends.
Mr Netanyahu, after a gap of six days, finally returned Mrs Clinton's call and pledged his commitment to the so-called "proximity talks" with the Palestinians and suggested "mutual confidence-building measures" by Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. He and Mrs Clinton will take advantage of his visit to Aipac to hold a meeting, the choreography of which will be carefully watched.
But whatever is now being said in public, the Israeli prime minister knows that much more will be expected of him, and that his earlier offer to stop settlement-building in the occupied West Bank (as opposed to East Jerusalem) will not appease a US president grown highly impatient.
The slight against Mr Biden is not even at the crux of the dispute. Nor is it Jewish construction in East Jerusalem, as sensitive an issue as it is for Palestinians who believe there is a plot to make Arabs a minority in the capital they yearn.
For a fundamental rift has opened up between the two allies. Mr Netanyahu's commitment to a genuine deal with the Palestinians is regarded with suspicion in Washington, Mr Obama does not regard Jewish settlements as an issue central to Israel's existence, as right-wingers do. Rather it emphasises that a speedy resumption of talks is as essential to its own interests.
"If Biden hadn't come and talks had started, I have no doubt that after one, two, three meetings it would have ended in crisis as the US would have realise that what they want to hear and what Netanyahu is prepared to say is very different," said a former senior official in the Israeli government.
It emerged that earlier this month Gen David Petraeus, currently America's most influential commander, warned that the impasse in the peace talks was endangering American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan by wrecking US credibility with Arab states and inflaming anti-Americanism. It was strong stuff.
"Petraeus slapped Israel in the face, not on the wrist," said Mr Pinkas. "He was basically saying to Israel that you are a liability rather than the asset you think you are."
Previous Israeli prime ministers have managed to alleviate international pressure, either by conducting genuine peace talks or by going through the motions of negotiations. But since he assumed office a year ago, Mr Netanyahu has contrived to do neither. He has however managed to annoy his country's greatest benefactor.

Ah, the wonder of beauty. When it comes to making yourself beautiful, you have a number of options. With so many options, you might be wondering where to begin. These tips will give you an excellent place to start.
Give your hair, and your blow dryer, a rest. When you use multiple heating devices, such as hair dryers and curling irons, you may be causing damage to your scalp and hair. Set your dryer to its lowest setting if time is limited and you must get your hair dry. By looking after your hair in this way, it will reward you with soft and silky locks for the years ahead.
Protect yourself from harmful rays by wearing sunscreen. When you are comparing different brands and types of sunscreen, you should look for products that contain healthy skincare ingredients and antioxidants. These particular things help nourish and protect your skin, ensuring a youthful appearance.
Always exfoliate your face a few times per week! Exfoliation is a great technique to use in order to reveal the healthy skin layers that are hiding underneath the visible skin. If you have sensitive skin, you may not want to exfoliate every day, but you should still at least try to do it once or twice a week. Taking care of your skin by exfoliating it frequently gives your face a radiant, shiny appearance. In addition, your skin will be cleaner and less oily.
Baking soda is the secret to shiny hair. This simple and inexpensive ingredient can be mixed into your everyday shampoo. Then cleanse your tresses normally. This will restore the luster to your hair.
If you feel your face is too square, soften the angles with a creamy coral or rose blush, applied lightly and blended well. Using your fingers, apply the cream blush to the apples of each of your cheeks, then in a gentle, tugging motion, fan the color outward toward your temples.
Use a 'hot spray' on damp hair, prior to blow drying. Many different grocery stores or department stores carry these products, which may help to prevent split ends and help reduce drying time. It smells great and helps lock in the moisture.
Your beauty routine should include at least one glass of milk each day. Milk is great for your skin, bones and body. Milk is full of calcium and protein, which are great for your body. Also, it's been proven to stabilize your weight. Milk is an affordable beauty solution.
A nice rose colored lipstick can conceal your flaws and blemishes. Warm pinks compliment most skin tones and helps get your lips noticed instead of your flaws. Your blemish will be easily hidden by the concealer and lipstick.
Everyone views things in their own unique fashion. One person may think something looks great, while another might think it is ugly. This is also true of the way people make themselves beautiful; there is more than one way. You can find some effective tips for becoming more beautiful in the article above.

I am sick and tired of waiting. I've been waiting since the day I bought Evo4g with Wimax coverage promise (back in summer 2010). It was the first day the phone was released.
Turns out we never got Wimax coverage and whatever we did get was completely unusable. It drained battery with in minutes.
It was blamed on the phone because it was the "FIRST" Wimax phone. Anyways, I paid $10 premium just for having a 4g phone. (Instead of premium lets call this panelty).
Then I gave sprint another chance and bought an S3. This time the promise was for LTE coverage in and around Philadelphia by the end of the year. We have 12 days left and I don't see anything happening.
Go to engadget or any tech site and you'll see every other week VZ and ATT and announcing new cities with full LTE coverage. There are only a few areas where sprint has LTE coverage and it has already sold millions of LTE devices.
They're charging millions of customers for LTE while they're on 3g. I think its completely unfair to pay those outrageous amounts..
Don't get me wrong, it used to be pretty good years ago, I loved sprint. There is a reason why I've been with sprint for over 10 years. But I think I'm running out of patience now. My friends s3 on ATT's LTE is 30 times faster than mine.
Funny thing is, he gets LTE pretty much everywhere. Philly and outside Philly.
I want sprint to know that they have 2 months to get LTE around the zip code 19355 -- If not then I'm gone and yeah I won't ever recommend sprint to anyone. (even if they pay me for that) !!!
See the speed yourself in this screenshot and then tell me if I'm being unfair.
Thank you for using Sprint Community to voice your questions and concerns. I'd like to address each of your issues individually if I may.
Slow Data:Based on the speeds that you are receiving, I don't blame you for being upset. Those download and upload speeds are slow even for 3G services. If you're experiencing these speeds, we need to correct that. This may involve reporting your issue to our networking technicians. If you're not in LTE coverage, however I would recommend disabling LTE services on your device. This will ensure that your device doesn't attempt to switch between channels frequently, thereby dropping your connection. If you wouldn't mind providing me with your nearest cross streets, I'd like to start by reviewing your area.
LTE Rollout: It does appear as though LTE is coming to Philladelphia very soon. You can verify this information by going to www.sprint.com/lte. There's not an estimated time or arrival at this time, but this most likely means that we are currently expanding the Philladelphia market at this time. While I realize this may be some distance for you, that is the only current plan that I see in your area for LTE services. That being said, you can still enjoy you phone without LTE services. There are still many wonderful features of your device that have nothing to do with 4G LTE. Many customer choose to get this device knowing they are not in LTE service at this time. Also, please keep in mind, we are constantly expanding our network. There may be plans in your specific city very soon.
Premium Data Fee: I notice that you mentioned that you pay $10/month to have access to the 4G network. This is a common misconception. The premium data fee is not a fee specifically for 4G services. Here is a link to a blog that thoroughly explains the fee in details.
One way or another, you are not getting the data speeds that I could consider excellent for 3G services. I'd like to find out why. Hopefully, I'll be able to get your phone working to it's optimum ability within 3G speeds.

Hi mobashir1,
Thank you so much for being a loyal Sprint Customer. I understand that you are highly anticipating 4G LTE coverage in your area, and provided that it does not arrive in your neighborhood soon you will consider canceling. Unfortunately, a definitive promise date for 4G LTE to arrive in your area has not been determined however, According to www.sprint.com/4G, 4G LTE is arriving in Philadelphia in the coming months. I hope you will continue to stay with us while we make the necessary enhancements to our network to provide the services your require.
Thanks for your Community post.

Sprint Social Care Team
Thank you for your response Fergie. If you can access my account, please see that I called on this Sunday (12/16) to speak to someone from tech support. they made me take the battery out, for 2 minutes. restart and then my profile was refreshed and my PRL was updated. Nothing changed after that and now they're sending me an Airave box (at least I'd be able to make calls at home). The lady at the Tech support said that she has checked and there are no issues reported in the towers nearby and that everything is working smoothly. I told her about the slow speed and dropped calls, here at least I can show you screenshots as proof.
Here's the work location of the street crossing. Its the crossing of Route 29 and Great Valley Pkwy. (Malvern)
Here's my home location cordinates:
Both locations are not too far from each other and therefore there is no difference in speed or reception. (I think I get worst signal at home than work)
You can review this area now -- If you need more information please let me know.
For LTE rollout, I understand that Philadelphia is going to be one of the markets for Sprint. So was Wimax but that didn't go according to the plan. In any case, I understand you don't have much information at this time.
But I think sprint needs to make some serious deadlines and tell customers that they will get where their compatetors are in x number of months. Some people may just wait .. but at least we would know.
Right now, the only thing I know is that its coming in Philly and nothing else. I want to know if its coming in Malvern. I live in Malvern and I work in Malvern, I don't care if Philly gets LTE or not. That doesn't change anything for me.
So let me rephrase my question, is sprint planning to bring LTE in Malvern, PA ? (Please note that VZ and ATT both have full LTE coverage around this area, so if you want to compete, you gotta expand outside Philly).
I understand Premium data fee -- I've known this from the day it was imposed on people buying HTC Evo 4G Wimax and ultimately it became part of all smart phone plans. Not complaining about it, but what I'm saying is that if you jack up my bill, then I should see a positive difference in the service. 🙂 Trust me, I'd pay $15 premium instead of 10, only if its worth it. Otherwise it would be better to donate it to some charity, at least I would know it wasn't spent for nothing.
Please let me know if I can provide with anything that may help resolve this issue around this area.
Thank you for sending me this information. I reviewed the towers surrounding you and I do see some issues that I may need to report. If you wouldn't mind sending me some information via private message I'll be glad to look into it.
To send a private message:
Information needed:
After reviewing this information, I may need to escalate your issue to our networking technicians. Note: Please only send this information via private message to protect your personal information.

All requested information sent. Thanks Fergie.
4G wimax never really got built out and buildout fizzled a few months after Evo launch.
Good news is Philadelphia was announced Sept 2012 as one of the cities being currently built out for 4G lte and the other network improvements over the next coming months(http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2382). Sprint is overhauling every cell site so I'm sure your sitation will be different/better in the next 6 months (how's that general time frame for you). Hopefully soon though since that was announced in September.
For now, I'm ok with 3g if it becomes usable. I can wait for few more months. My contract expires next month, and I'm not renewing unless I know for sure that the speeds are going to get better.
Let me give you a little background of Malvern area. Its one of the fastest growing areas in the suburbs of Philly where so many huge companies are located, Vanguard, Siemens, GE, McKesson, Microsoft, Wyeth, Unisys, IKON and Penn State Great Valley .. all these are located here. There is a reason why ATT and VZ made sure that this area gets covered before they go anywhere else. Trust me, word of mouth is the best kind of advertisement for a company. When existing customers are unhappy, its very unlikely that you'd see very many new customers.
I see how Sprint markets their plans that they are truely unlimited. What do I do with truely unlimited plan when I can't even watch a youtube video on the go? What do I do with one of the hottest phones when I can't even stream anything.
Being a sprint stock holder and a customer, I believe in sprint, and I want the company to compete head on against ATT and VZ. But I don't see any improvements in the network, in fact 3g has gone from fair to really bad. Now its at a point where it reminds me of those dial up days when you start to download something and then you go and get youself a cup of coffee because you can't keep staring at the screen.
I wouldnt put up with non-loading youtube videos either. I would go with what's best for you. Obviously a year or two from now revisit Sprint if you want. Get a loaner test phone and give the 'New' network a test at that time. If it's thumbs up, you might even be able to find switcher offers. Like right now for 3 new lines (on a new account), $400 instantly off at register and $300 credit to the bill for porting in, and waived act fees...good promos do come up here and there.
2 of my relatives live in a 1x Sprint area. Not even 3g. They'll get LTE but it'll be 1-2 years. I started feeling guilty last week and may switch them to another carrier that has LTE for the next year or two and then revisit the Sprint network in their area at that time.
No reason not to leave and look at coming back later. It's not a 30 year mortgage decision or anything. It can be simple!
Good luck.

This dual-purpose facility will provide flexible, modern educational spaces for both an independent preschool program and NMSU's certificate and degree programs in Education, Nursing, and Child Development. This integration allows college students to easily observe and interact with young children as part of their required practicum and NMSU is able to continue to provide onsite childcare.
Following a "together but separate" concept, the preschool and college are located in separate wings with a shaded outdoor courtyard located at the center. This allows for separate operating schedules and appropriate security for each wing within a single, efficient building.
The preschool spaces include infant, preschool, and afterschool classrooms, as well as a commercial kitchen and a variety of staff and service spaces. Every two classrooms share a changing/restroom and storage room, and all classrooms have easy access to the playground, multipurpose room, and storytelling area.

Feel the Excitement of Horse racing – Buy race horses for sale
Horse racing has been a part of practically every country's history. But the importance of horse racing does not lie only in history but in economy as well. It was noted that the horse racing industry generated revenues of about US$115 billion in the year 2008. The gabling part of the horse racing industry gives it its specific spice. Horse racing also initiated the breeding of various types of horses suited to different environments and racing conditions. Today you can find many breeds of racing horses the most famous ones being the Thoroughbred, the Quarter Horse, the Arabian, the Paint and the Appaloosa. These breeds are mostly suited for the flat racing discipline. For other disciplines such as steeple chasing the most sought after breeds are the thoroughbreds for sale and the AQPS. You can find many more different types of horse racing disciplines and also different breeds best suited for the respective disciplines.
In case you have planned on buying race horses for sale, be sure to check whether the horse has retired from the tiring racing sport or whether the horse has any injuries or defects. The most recommended option is to buy those racehorses for sale that are young and still under training process. This will allow you to maximize your chances on getting your hands on a fine horse and also train it in a particular discipline of horse racing you are inclined to as these horses fresh out of training are the best to learn new skills. You can also buy thoroughbred for sale after the horses have completed their training period; so you should keep enquiring about them to get the correct dates of the sale. If you wish your horse to take part in an event right away, you should plan the buying at such a time that the horse gets sufficient rest before the event. In most cases just before the sale of the horses, they are made to exercise overtime and are made to run much faster than they actually can, to impress the potential buyers. But this over- exercise exhausts the horses and they become very tired and depressed. So a break before the main event will not only rejuvenate them but you will also find your horse in high spirits due to the rest and comfort.
Even if you cannot afford to buy a horse right away you always have the option of race horse syndication. This system allows you to buy shares on the race horses of the event and thus you can experience the horse racing industry without having to buy a horse. So remember to associate with a good breed horse and enjoy the sport of horse racing first hand.
Topline Thoroughbreds is an Australian author who always writes about australian thoroughbred, race horses for sale and thoroughbreds for sale.

Research Summary:
Our group is interested in dissecting the architecture and function of gene regulatory networks. We investigate how the multiple transcription activators, repressors, boundary elements connected to a gene interact and orchestrate the precise tissue-specific and temporal-specific expression pattern of that gene. Understanding this process is critical since it is thought that malfunction of the regulatory program of certain genes underlie the cause of several human diseases. We focus on heart development and congenital heart diseases as substrates to test our hypotheses, and we use mouse and zebrafish genetic engineering, comparative genomics, bioinformatics and other high throughput genomic screening and validation strategies as experimental tools.

Kunsthalle Gwangju
The Overview
Gwangju, already known for its buzzy contemporary art biennales, saw its cultural scene revved up another notch with the launch of Kunsthalle Gwangju. A joint initiative developed by Platoon Cultural Development and the South Korean government, the project offers visitors a chance to interact with local and international artists, according to Platoon founders Christoph Frank and Tom Bueschemann. The 29 recyclable containers are stacked and arranged in the structure of a quadratic cube, with the façade painted black for a slick, sophisticated look. The 1,019-square-meter center houses a concert stage, an art library and lounge areas, while a video wall—a linear alignment of 11 containers on the top floor—showcases videos and multimedia art installations.

"Most scientists focus on a very specific area, but I do many different things," says Sol Gruner, physics. "I'm a research mutt. Mainly, I develop tools to attack scientific problems people haven't looked at yet, largely because the tools needed to solve those problems haven't existed."
Gruner's tool-making expertise has resulted in an array of scientific breakthroughs and developments over the years. One area of research he is well-known for involves the development of new kinds of x-ray detectors for use at synchrotron facilities. X-ray detectors are crucial tools that use x-ray fraction to examine how materials change during experiments, and for several decades, Gruner's has been one of the foremost groups working in this field. Sol Gruner, known for developing x-ray detectors, is a toolmaker for tackling scientific problems and exploring the unknown.

Here, at Riuttalan Talonpoikaismuseo in Karttula, Kuopio wide floorboards creak of history and the locals tell a variety of stories of the past generations, what was it like before – some I believe are true, some with a little spark of imagination. The Riuttala Farmhouse Museum's rustic peasant atmosphere has remained intact, and as a historical wholeness, and it's distinctive architecture provide a great Finnish attraction.
The heart of the museum comprises an original farmstead dating back to the 19th century. There are over 20 buildings and around 1,400 catalogued original artefacts.
The windmill, built in 1847, is the farm's oldest building.
Riuttala was chosen to represent the Finnish countryside and the rural way of life at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900.
It's amazing how much you can learn about your own heritage, traditional Savonian peasant life and its history by just driving along beautiful country roads to Riuttala, about 40km from Kuopio. I highly recommend, its a true journey to a Finnish rural way of life in the 19th-century.
Can you guess what this machine above is?
Pyykki-Maija – A washing machine.
The Dining Room is the heart of the house.
Wooden mug for buttermilk – two men sitting across from each other would share it.
In the early 20th century the loom was brought to the dining room during the warm summer months.
The Pantry
Men's side
Many, many questions arose while walking and admiring the buildings and their original artefacts and luckily for me, there were not only my parents and my grandmother but also a lot of locals who happily told me the stories behind each item, without forgetting all the little details. Through these people shone a genuine love for this historic farm and its culture, and at the same time, a concern for its uncertain future due to financial difficulties.

On February 4, 2004, the Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer (A.Q.) Khan, then famous for his role in developing Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, confessed on live television to having illegally proliferated nuclear weapons technology to Iran, Libya, and North Korea over the course of decades. Today Khan is enjoying a resurrection at home, where he is again touted as the "Mohsin e-Pakistan," or the savior of Pakistan. He appears as the guest of honor at official ceremonies, and last year Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology declared him a distinguished alumnus in recognition of his "meritorious services and valuable contributions towards scientific research and its practical application for the productive use for mankind."
Outside of Pakistan, Khan has largely been forgotten, despite the fact that his fingerprints are all over the world's most volatile nuclear hot spots. Indeed, three of the United States' most significant national security challenges—Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan—are largely the results of Khan's handiwork.
Between the start of Khan's nuclear black market in the mid-1970s and his forced confession in 2004, the United States and other countries had many opportunities to stop him. Yet each time, policymakers decided that preventing the spread of nuclear weapons was less important than pursuing other foreign policy goals. These decisions haunt U.S. leaders today. Pakistan's nuclear deterrent makes it impossible for U.S. commanders to force the country to close its safe havens for Afghan extremists. Iran's nuclear program—though frozen for now—could still lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. And North Korea, which Khan helped turn from a thorn in the world's side into an unstable nuclear power, now threatens the lives of millions.
How were Khan's activities allowed to continue for so long? And what lessons might the failures to contain him hold for policymakers today?
Born in British India in 1936, Khan fled
