About the Show
About the Show
This high-concept action comedy follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Tangled") as the Buy More computer geek turned secret agent. When Chuck unwittingly downloads a database of government information and deadly fighting skills into his head, he becomes the CIA's most vital secret. This sets Chuck on a path to become a full-fledged spy, assisted by the stoic Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin, "Serenity"), Chuck's best friend, Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez, "Without a Trace"), and the CIA's top agent - and now Chuck's wife - Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, "Killer Elite"). With the help of this unlikely team and his unorthodox techniques, Chuck is ready to take Operation Bartowski freelance.
Chuck's spy abilities will be put to a new test when he and his team - now a private security company known as Carmichael Industries - must save mankind without the help of the CIA. Instead, they'll use the cover of the Buy More electronics store to fund their own operations, leading to new missions, new stakes and new obstacles. With Chuck and Sarah as newlyweds and his family in on his secret, it has never been harder for Chuck to separate his spy life from his personal life. Featuring an amazing ensemble cast and action unlike anything else on television, there is no mission too impossible for "Chuck."
Also starring are Sarah Lancaster ("What About Brian?") as Chuck's ever-supportive sister, Ellie; Ryan McPartlin ("Living with Fran") as Devon Woodcomb (also known as "Captain Awesome"), Ellie's husband; Chuck's Buy More team, which consists of Big Mike (Mark Christopher Lawrence, "The Pursuit of Happyness") and the Nerd Herd, including Lester (Vik Sahay, "Time Bomb") and Jeff (Scott Krinsky, "The O.C.").
"Chuck" is co-created by Josh Schwartz ("The O.C.," "Gossip Girl") and Chris Fedak and is executive-produced by Schwartz, McG ("Charlie's Angels," "Terminator Salvation"), Fedak, Robert Duncan McNeill and Nicholas Wootton. "Chuck" is produced by Fake Empire, Wonderland Sound and Vision, in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Chapter 18
King Lamoni supposes that Ammon is the Great Spirit—Ammon teaches the king about the Creation, God's dealings with men, and the redemption that comes through Christ—Lamoni believes and falls to the earth as if dead. About 90 B.C.
1 And it came to pass that king Lamoni caused that his aservants should stand forth and testify to all the things which they had seen concerning the matter.
2 And when they had all testified to the things which they had seen, and he had learned of the faithfulness of Ammon in preserving his flocks, and also of his agreat power in contending against those who sought to slay him, he was astonished exceedingly, and said: Surely, this is more than a man. Behold, is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great punishments upon this people, because of their murders?
3 And they answered the king, and said: Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not; but this much we do know, that he acannot be slain by the enemies of the king; neither can they bscatter the king's flocks when he is with us, because of his expertness and cgreat strength; therefore, we know that he is a friend to the king. And now, O king, we do not believe that a man has such great power, for we know he cannot be slain.
4 And now, when the king heard these words, he said unto them: Now I know that it is the Great Spirit; and he has come down at this time to preserve your lives, that I might not aslay you as I did your brethren. Now this is the Great Spirit of whom our fathers have spoken.
5 Now this was the atradition of Lamoni, which he had received from his father, that there was a bGreat Spirit. Notwithstanding they believed in a Great Spirit, they supposed that cwhatsoever they did was right; nevertheless, Lamoni began to fear exceedingly, with fear lest he had done wrong in slaying his servants;
6 For he had slain many of them because their brethren had scattered their flocks at the place of water; and thus, because they had had their flocks scattered they were slain.
7 Now it was the practice of these Lamanites to stand by the awaters of Sebus to scatter the flocks of the people, that thereby they might drive away many that were scattered unto their own land, it being a practice of plunder among them.
8 And it came to pass that king Lamoni inquired of his servants, saying: Where is this man that has such great power?
9 And they said unto him: Behold, he is feeding thy ahorses. Now the king had commanded his servants, previous to the time of the watering of their flocks, that they should prepare his horses and chariots, and conduct him forth to the land of Nephi; for there had been a bgreat cfeast appointed at the land of Nephi, by the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.
10 Now when king Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his achariots he was more astonished, because of the faithfulness of Ammon, saying: Surely there has not been any servant among all my servants that has been so faithful as this man; for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them.
11 Now I surely know that this is the Great Spirit, and I would desire him that he come in unto me, but I durst not.
12 And it came to pass that when Ammon had made ready the horses and the chariots for the king and his servants, he went in unto the king, and he saw that the acountenance of the king was changed; therefore he was about to return out of his presence.
13 And one of the king's servants said unto him, aRabbanah, which is, being interpreted, powerful or great king, considering their kings to be powerful; and thus he said unto him: Rabbanah, the king desireth thee to stay.
14 Therefore Ammon turned himself unto the king, and said unto him: What wilt thou that I should do for thee, O king? And the king answered him not for the space of an ahour, according to their time, for he knew not what he should say unto him.
15 And it came to pass that Ammon said unto him again: What desirest thou of me? But the king answered him not.
16 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the aSpirit of God, therefore he perceived the bthoughts of the king. And he said unto him: Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slew cseven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
17 I say unto you, what is it, that thy marvelings are so great? Behold, I am a aman, and am thy servant; therefore, whatsoever thou desirest which is right, that will I do.
18 Now when the king had heard these words, he marveled again, for he beheld that Ammon could adiscern his thoughts; but notwithstanding this, king Lamoni did open his mouth, and said unto him: Who art thou? Art thou that Great Spirit, who bknows all things?
19 Ammon answered and said unto him: I am not.
20 And the king said: How knowest thou the thoughts of my heart? Thou mayest speak boldly, and tell me concerning these things; and also tell me by what power ye slew and smote off the arms of my brethren that scattered my flocks—
21 And now, aif thou wilt tell me concerning these things, whatsoever thou desirest I will give unto thee; and if it were needed, I would guard thee with my armies; but I know that thou art more powerful than all they; nevertheless, whatsoever thou desirest of me I will grant it unto thee.
22 Now Ammon being awise, yet harmless, he said unto Lamoni: Wilt thou hearken unto my words, if I tell thee by what power I do these things? And this is the thing that I desire of thee.
23 And the king answered him, and said: Yea, I awill believe all thy words. And thus he was caught with bguile.
24 And Ammon began to speak unto him with aboldness, and said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God?
25 And he answered, and said unto him: I do not know what that meaneth.
26 And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a aGreat Spirit?
27 And he said, Yea.
28 And Ammon said: This is God. And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit, who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth?
29 And he said: Yea, I believe that he created all things which are in the earth; but I do not know the heavens.
30 And Ammon said unto him: The heavens is a place where God dwells and all his holy angels.
31 And king Lamoni said: Is it above the earth?
32 And Ammon said: Yea, and he looketh down upon all the children of men; and he aknows all the thoughts and bintents of the heart; for by his hand were they all created from the beginning.
33 And king Lamoni said: I believe all these things which thou hast spoken. Art thou asent from God?
34 Ammon said unto him: I am a aman; and man in the beginning was created after the image of God, and I am called by his bHoly Spirit to teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a knowledge of that which is just and true;
35 And a portion of that aSpirit dwelleth in me, which giveth me bknowledge, and also power according to my faith and desires which are in God.
36 Now when Ammon had said these words, he began at the creation of the world, and also the creation of Adam, and told him all the things concerning the fall of man, and arehearsed and laid before him the brecords and the holy scriptures of the people, which had been spoken by the cprophets, even down to the time that their father, Lehi, left Jerusalem.
37 And he also rehearsed unto them (for it was unto the king and to his servants) all the journeyings of their fathers in the wilderness, and all their sufferings with hunger and thirst, and their travail, and so forth.
38 And he also rehearsed unto them concerning the arebellions of Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael, yea, all their rebellions did he relate unto them; and he expounded unto them all the brecords and scriptures from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem down to the present time.
39 But this is not all; for he aexpounded unto them the bplan of redemption, which was prepared from the foundation of the world; and he also made known unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and all the works of the Lord did he make known unto them.
40 And it came to pass that after he had said all these things, and expounded them to the king, that the king abelieved all his words.
41 And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, have mercy; according to thy abundant amercy which thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me, and my people.
42 And now, when he had said this, he afell unto the earth, bas if he were dead.
43 And it came to pass that his aservants took him and carried him in unto his wife, and laid him upon a bed; and he lay as if he were dead for the space of two days and two nights; and his wife, and his sons, and his daughters mourned over him, after the manner of the Lamanites, greatly lamenting his loss.

Configuration and Preferences
See also: Seaside Configuration Management by C. David Shaffer
A configuration is an instance of a concrete subclass of WAConfiguration
. A configuration defines a set of attributes (which describe a value type, range of values, etc), a set of values for those attributes, and a set of ancestor configurations. Depending on the class of configuration, these may all be specified programmatically, or may be set manually by the user.
Attribute values are treated similarly to method inheritance: if a configuration provides a value for a particular attribute, that value will override any values provided by its ancestors. If it provides no value, the lookup continues up the ancestor chain. There's a well-defined order (similar to that used in Dylan) when traversing complex multiple-inheritance trees.
There are two levels of configuration currently used by Seaside: SystemConfiguration, and UserConfiguration.
- The purpose of a SystemConfiguration is to define a particular set of attributes and global default values for them. SystemConfigurations are specified purely programatically: they must implement
to return an array of ancestor configurations and#attributes
to return an array of attribute values. They may also implement methods corresponding to attribute names to provide default values (although they do not have to). SystemConfigurations are singletons - each subclass has a unique instance, accessible through the#instance
method on the class side.WAAuthConfiguration
is a good example of a system configuration: it provides the#login
attributes. AddingWAAuthConfiguration
as an ancestor of your application's configuration will immediately provide it with simple HTTP Basic Authentication. - The UserConfiguration is completely user specified: its values are specified at runtime and can also have ancestors added and removed by the user. Each application has an instance of UserConfiguration. You can also add named user configurations that aren't associated with a particular application, that can be reused (by adding them as ancestors) across several apps.

You Can See and Taste The Difference As more value is extracted from a vegetable, more pigments or color are also extracted. This is why Champion prepared juice is darker and richer in color when compared to that of a conventional centrifugal-type juicer. This is true whether it is carrot juice, mixed vegetable juice or straight chlorophyll juice such as parsley juice or turnip leaf juice. You can also see it in the Champion-extracted pulp; it is pale in color.
The difference in quality is also apparent in taste. Juices extracted by a Champion Juicer are richer and offer a more full-bodied flavor.
A Champion is Simple to Use Designed for simplicity, the Champion Juicer doesn't require nuts, bolts, screws or clamps to assemble. The floating cutter just slides on or off the shaft; a quick half-turn and the body locks on or releases for removal. By changing a single part the juicer is now a homogenizer. It's so simple and all the parts are easy to clean.
The Champion Juicer is Versatile In addition to extracting vegetable juices, the unit can make coconut milk, baby foods, fruit sauces, nut butters, ice creams and sherbets. No other juicer can do this.
The Champion Juicer Is Durable Powered by a full 1/3-horsepower, heavy duty General Electric motor, the Champion Juicer is powerful, durable and built to last. All juicer parts are made from 100 percent FDA accepted nylon and stainless steel. The Champion Juicer's body is lined with a special stainless steel which is almost wear-free and will not pick up food odor. A special heavy-duty Commercial Champion Juicer, ideal for juice bars and restaurants is also available. If you are overseas, a 220 volt Champion Juicer and 240 volt Champion Juicer are also available.
A Champion Offers...
FREE BONUS Get a FREE Juicing Bowl with your purchase of the Champion Juicer.
The Champion juicing bowl is specifically designed for use with the Champion Juicer to catch the juice or pulp. It also can be used as a 1-quart measuring cup. The Juice Bowl is BPA FREE and Made in the USA.
Basically the commercial model is just a bit more heavy duty, for commercial use or for people that want to get a more powerful version. They look identical except for the above motor specifications.
The Champion Juices Carrots, Celery, Parsley, Cabbage, Spinach, Apples, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Kiwi, Pineapple, Melon and More!
The Champion Homogenizes Nut Butters, Fruit Sauces, Baby Foods, Sorbets, Ice Creams, Sherbets, Purees, Salsa, Muesli and More!

By Jo-Marie Burt, Senior Fellow, WOLA
On July 20, the Peruvian Supreme Court emitted a highly controversial sentence in a case involving the members of the Colina Group death squad. According to human rights defenders and the victims in the relevant cases, the sentence is a major step backward in Peru's tortured quest for truth and justice in cases of egregious human rights violations. WOLA has long supported the efforts of the Peruvian human rights community and the victims of human rights violations seeking truth and justice, and strongly condemns this setback to overcoming impunity in Peru.
The sentence refers to three crimes committed by the notorious Colina Group, a military unit responsible for a series of human rights violations between 1991 and 1992: the 1991 massacre of Barrios Altos in which 15 people, including an eight-year-old child, were murdered and four others gravely wounded, the forced disappearance in 1992 of journalist Pedro Yauri, and of nine peasant leaders from the community of Santa.
The verdict not only reduces the sentences of renowned criminals, including former security chief Vladimiro Montesinos, but also turns on its head established jurisprudence of previous Supreme Court decisions, decisions by Peru's Constitutional Tribunal, and rulings of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
The Minister of Justice, Juan Jiménez Mayor (recently named Prime Minister), criticized the sentence as "shameful." Eduardo Vega, Peru's Ombudsman, stated that the verdict represented a "serious setback" in Peru's efforts to achieve accountability for grave human rights violations and called for its rectification. President Ollanta Humala also noted his surprise at the verdict. Human rights groups have criticized the sentence and have stated that they will pursue actions domestically and internationally to challenge it.
The initial investigation into the Barrios Altos massacre was closed in 1995 after the Fujimori government passed two amnesty laws that granted impunity to state agents accused of human rights violations during the internal armed conflict (1980-1995). The victims and their legal representatives took the case to the Inter-American system, and in 2001, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights emitted a verdict in the case, determining the responsibility of the Peruvian State for the massacre and ordering the investigation, prosecution, and punishment of those responsible. The same verdict determined that the 1995 amnesty laws violated international law and lacked legal standing.
As a result, the Barrios Altos case was reopened. The case is a complex one, involving 15 fatal victims and 31 defendants; later the cases of Pedro Yauri and Santa were incorporated into the legal proceedings as part of a "mega-trial" against the Colina Group members. However, the process was plagued by delays. The investigation lasted five years before the public trial started in 2005; then, due to a number of factors, but especially the delay tactics of the defendants' lawyers, the public trial lasted another five years. Finally, in October 2010, a sentence was emitted finding 19 of the 31 members of the Colina Group responsible for the crimes. The most severe sentences, the maximum of 25 years, were reserved for the intellectual authors of the crime—Vladimiro Montesinos, the de facto head of the National Intelligence Service (SIN), Gen. (r) Julio Salazar Monroe, actual head of the SIN, and Gen. (r) Nicolás Hermoza Ríos, former army chief, and Gen. (r) Juan Rivero Lazo, former head of Army Intelligence—as well as for the chief operational heads of the Colina Group, former Army Major Santiago Martin Rivas and Carlos Pichilingue. The ruling was appealed by the defendants.
The Controversial Ruling
The Supreme Court announced its sentence in the case on July 20, 2012. The most controversial measures include a reduction in the sentences for virtually all those convicted, including Montesinos and Hermoza Ríos, which Supreme Court justice Javier Villa Stein, who presided over the court that emitted the ruling, said was in "compensation" for the lengthy legal process. But rights advocates say that the most questionable measures are related to a number of legal arguments that overturn the original sentence's determination that the Barrios Altos massacre and the forced disappearances of Pedro Yauri and the peasants of Santa constituted crimes against humanity; that these crimes were committed by an organized apparatus of the State that constituted an unlawful association created for the purpose of committing criminal acts; and that Montesinos, Hermoza Ríos, Rivero Lazo and Salazar Monroe were responsible as autores mediatos of the crime—the same legal concept used to prosecute Alberto Fujimori for the Barrios Altos massacre, the La Cantuta murders, and two kidnappings. Of special concern, say human rights advocates, the sentence states that the Barrios Altos massacre does not constitute a crime against humanity. Although the sentence acknowledges that the crimes committed by the Colina Group were part of official State policy, it also states that this policy was not directed against the civilian population but rather against terrorists.
Human rights groups have challenged each of these arguments point by point. The systematic nature of the Colina Group's crimes was documented by the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and has been recognized in sentences emitted by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the Barrios Altos case as well as in the case of La Cantuta. The sentence emitted by the Special Criminal Court for the Fujimori case, which was ratified in December 2009 by the Supreme Court, recognized Barrios Altos and La Cantuta as crimes against humanity not only because they were directed at civilians but because they were part of official State policy, they were the result of a planned operation, and they occurred in a context of systematic violations of human rights. Additionally, the Peruvian Constitutional Tribunal recognized in 2005 that the crimes committed by the Colina Group—including the Barrios Altos massacre—constituted "crimes against humanity."
The Supreme Court sentence has been sharply and widely criticized. The Vice Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Daniel Figallo, presented a recourse of amparo before the Constitutional Tribunal, the only legal remedy available within Peru to challenge a verdict of the Supreme Court. Several Parliamentarians have said that they would present a constitutional challenge against the Supreme Court judges who emitted the sentence. Diverse civil society groups, from labor organizations to human rights groups, criticized the sentence on a variety of grounds and said that they would petition the Inter-American Court to nullify the sentence.
Gloria Cano, head lawyer for APRODEH, one of the organizations representing the victims in the criminal proceedings, sharply questioned the ruling for its legalistic sophisms and its clear intent to favor not only those convicted in this legal process, but ultimately former president Alberto Fujimori Fujimori, who was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta cases. In this regard, Carlos Rivera, head lawyer for the Instituto de Defensa Legal, another NGO representing the victims in this case, stated: "The Villa Stein court has provided a magnificent political tool [to Alberto Fujimori] to challenge his guilty verdict."
As WOLA has noted in the past, international law prevents pardons for crimes against humanity. By removing the status of "crime against humanity" in the Barrios Altos massacre, the Villa Stein sentence could provide new arguments for Fujimori's supporters to propose if not a challenge to his guilty verdict, then a pardon for Fujimori. However, it is important to note that according to Peruvian law, those sentenced for the crime of aggravated kidnapping, as is the case for former President Fujimori, cannot receive a pardon.
Also of concern has been the attitude assumed by Supreme Court Justice Javier Villa Stein, widely seen as the architect of the sentence. In the wake of the wave of criticisms against the Barrios Altos-Yauri-Santa sentence, Villa Stein assumed a combative tone, accusing Minister of Justice Jiménez Mayor of "stoking the fire" and being a "polarizing figure" for his comments criticizing the verdict. He stated that he would welcome a challenge to his sentence before the Inter-American Court, which rights advocates have said they will pursue. Most shockingly, Villa Stein mocked human rights groups, saying they should not continue to "whine" ("lloriquear") about the sentence.
It is important to note that previously, APRODEH sought to have Villa Stein recused from this and other legal processes involving human rights cases due to his political positions. According to APRODEH, with regard to the Chavín de Huántar case, another highly controversial legal process involving the accusation against Montesinos and others for carrying out at least one extrajudicial execution in the aftermath of the hostage rescue operation in the Japanese Ambassador's residence in 1997, Villa Stein asserted that NGOs defending victims in human rights cases were motivated by a desire to undermine the prestige of the Peruvian Armed Forces. The Constitutional Tribunal rejected APRODEH's petition, saying that Villa Stein had a right to emit his personal political views and that these would not prejudice the legal proceedings. However, in the wake of the sentence, as well as Villa Stein's dismissive comments, broad sectors of civil society are calling for his removal as a Supreme Court justice.
Justice on Trial
The victims of political violence in Peru have fought long and hard to overcome diverse forms of institutionalized impunity, including two amnesty laws that prevented them from knowing the fate of their missing loved ones and seeing those responsible for these crimes prosecuted and punished. After the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its 2003 report recommending the criminal prosecution of several cases of grave human rights violations, special bodies were set up in the Public Ministry and the Judiciary to investigate and prosecute these crimes and facilitate the rights of the victims to truth and justice. A number of important sentences, including the Fujimori verdict, were emitted staring in 2005. In recent years, however, human rights organizations in Peru have denounced a number of obstacles that have emerged that have undermined these special human rights courts and the broader process of justice for victims of state-sponsored human rights violations in Peru. The Villa Stein sentence is one more factor contributing to new forms of impunity in Peru today.

James Bond "Casino Royale" Behind The Scenes Video
I found this cool video of behind the scenes work for Casino Royale on YouTube. In it you see the human side of Bond, as Daniel Craig takes a moment to comment on the progress of the movie, and give some quick qips.
James Bond "Casino Royale" Trailer Video - BBC Gives Rave Review Of New Bond
I just found this article by the BBC which is a review of the new movie Casino Royale, the 21st movie in the James Bond series, which has seen each actor, save for two (George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton) go on to super stardom, or in the case of Pierce Brosnan, solidify his super star status.
Paul Arendt, the review writer, reports that Craig is not just a good Bond, he's a great Bond. We'll all know starting this Friday, November 17th.
The new bond is Daniel Craig -- and he's blond. This minor difference does nothing to diminish the quality of Bond or the film, according to the BCC. Here's the review, and the movie preview below:

Monday Jackpot: Craigslist Booty, Before and After, and a New DIY.
I spent the first few days of this year reading blogs that were new to me. First, I stumbled upon Brooklyn Limestone and read every post in her blog detailing the amazing transformation of her house from haunted to hubba-hubba.
If that didn't make me feel like a founding member of Underachievers Anonymous, I started reading Little Green Notebook. This young designer mom with two toddlers and a newborn kicks DIY ass and takes designer names on a weekly basis. Talk about feeling the need to step up your game.
My first project of the year was a small DIY of recovering the kitchen chairs with faux croc from JoAnn fabrics. Then I moved onto the project of making roman shades from mini-blinds as found on Little Green Notebook combined with a real roman shades project from Martha Stewart. I never realized how simple (if time-consuming) it is to make roman shades.
But when I saw the photo above on isuwanee and the project below from High Street Market, I fell in love and knew I had to get me some faux bamboo.
Here's how she found it:
Then when I saw this black version on 1st Dibs for $4500, I began my frenetic search.
So, I scoured Craigslist until I found this in Boston - a full set of Henry Link Bali Hai circa 1972 or so:
After weeks of waiting for its delivery, it is now mine. I really only needed the dresser or chest for our bedroom but I can use the rest around the house or at the beach. I also found a shipping company that will ship items up and down the eastern seaboard for reasonable prices. Email me if you'd like the info because I just noticed a dresser and chest on Craigslist in High Point, NC (apologies to MFAMB for getting dangerously close to her territory).
So, now I just need to get a power sander and get to town on this project. Either the dresser or chest is going to go in the Imperial Trellis project bedroom. What do you think: Dresser or chest? Black or white?

Black, but not sure if you need the dresser or chest -- depends on your space. I'm voting for nightstands :)
Also, do you have to powersand? That sounds hard. Why not just spraypaint and do the wipe on poly treatment (which I totally stole from LGN, who IS a crazy overachiever). - March 29, 2010 at 9:49 AM

What a find!

So far, it's sounding like black!
E: I have space for the dresser but I like the shape of the chest. Although I got a mirror from eBay for the dresser...
Also, I prefer nightstands as well (no offense to Skirted Roundtables everywhere :-) but there's a radiator that takes up so much room on the other side of the bed that I can only fit a small tripod table. It's also why the lamps don't match.
Oh, I will definitely go look at that LGN recommendation. - March 29, 2010 at 10:04 AM

I am on my way to High Point... that set is fabulous. One black, one... hot pink? And MFAMB has a terrific hardware source too... she put some hot stuff on that bar cart she brought back to life.

I love me some faux-boo, what a score. And how great that you got multiple pieces you can sprinkle around the houses.
I'm going against the grain and saying white. Or your wall color.
We'll need photos before/during/after the transformation please. - March 29, 2010 at 11:07 AM

how fun! I looove LGN! She's always on it! And with 3 girls! I definitely think BLACK!
- March 29, 2010 at 11:09 AM

I think nightstands too! But in white. Black seems like it would be too heavy in your space, but what do I know ;)

- Marija said...
What a find! Does it have to black or white? Can you do a warm dark grey? I'm thinking that could look amazing against your (sick - as in bad - as in killer) trellis project! Marija

Ahhhwww! If you feel like an underachiever what does that make me look & feel like....!
Fantastic find! You rock!

Oh i'm loving that dark one...maybe a very rich charcoal color? Im sure it will be gorgeous either way.
- April 6, 2010 at 5:15 AM
If the finish is smooth, don't sand it! Just prime it with a good purdy brush and primer. Then paint it, black, of course. You could go back and touch up the bamboo ridges w/ gold or silver, I've seen that done and it looks pretty sweet. Good luck!
- April 9, 2010 at 2:09 PM
I have a faux bamboo nightstand and dresser very similar to those. I'm in the process of refinishing mine now. Today I sanded down the top and stained it walnut and I'm painting the whole rest of the dresser white. I'm doing that with both pieces. Hopefully it will be finished by the weekend.
I say the nightstand in white, but I love white furniture. - April 15, 2010 at 10:01 PM

I got me a houseful of vintage bamboo pieces.....on one side of the bed, a black three drawer chest as a nightstand and a black writing desk on the other side...both black bamboo! also found the most fab YELLOW faux bamboo armoire, with the door panels knocked out and replaced with chickenwire! Unbeleivable--not lemon yellow but a kind of antiquey yellow. Will redo it someday but its the best! I love me my faux bamboo!!

After seeing the blog I decided to re-do the collection of vintage bamboo Henry Link Bali Hai that was in a vactaion home we just bought. I am repainting it now in white. Two coats on and one to go...it is looking fabulous. I used the Diamond Hard paint. I have a second set that I have no place for and I need to sale if anyone would be interested post a comment and I can email you some information.

Just found your blog and have added it to my daily visit list. As I scrolled down I couldn't believe the faux bamboo and how great it looks painted. Then I couldn't believe you purchased the exact set I still have from my childhood room, the Henry Link yellow set. Please please please post pictures of what you've done with yours so I can get inspired!

Just up front I'm the owner of the black polished lacquer faux bamboo chest of drawers, it's in my shop right now! :) so the first tip I have for you is there's stuff called liquid sander... two coats of this and then there's an oil based paint called fine paints of europe brilliant. Use 2-3 thin coats as it runs easily with some light sanding in between... great stuff, not lacquer but for a diy'er it's almost better...
thanks for posting my chest!

I am so hooked...I just bought a 8 piece set in Ohio. It is a "green" color rather than yellow to me. I am so torn...part of me likes it how it is, but the other half of me wants to paint it white...I love white furniture for a girls' room. I would love more suggestions on refinishing...it would be a pain to sand. Does the liquid sander really work? I do have access to a professional spray painter...

I'm completely torn now. I don't know what to do. I have a full set I was about to sell but all of your ideas are fantastic- I really like the dark grey. I have a twin headboard, desk & Chair, hutch, mirror and 2 dressers....If anyone is interested in the headboard let me know I don't have a use for that. It's all wood not caning.

Love this set! Love the pic of it in black. I have the armoire with glass front doors in my bathrm. I want to try to make my plain-old sink vanity base match (sort of) by painting and glazing each the same mahoghany color. So before I start, I'm looking for faux bamboo trim in the same width that is found on this Bali Hai collection. Anyone know where I could find this? Not having much success online-- so far only found trim in 2" width.

Detailed Report From "Half-Blood Prince" Test Screening
Sep 07, 2008
Thanks much to TLC reader Rachezee, we now have a detailed report from tonight's test screening of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." As mentioned previously, there are details regarding Harry and Ginny's kiss, as well as new descriptions of Slughorn's memory and Riddle's Horcruxes, Weasley Wheezes, Luna and the Quidditch commentary, the new scene written for the movie about the Death Eaters attack on the Burrow, and pivotal and dramatic scenes involving Snape, Draco, Sectumsempra and much much more. Caution: MAJOR SPOILER WARNING, scroll down for the full report below.
Today I got to see the test screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It took place in Chicago at the AMC River East. It was a secret screening, no one in the audience was supposed to know before hand what they were seeing. I was one of only a small handful who already knew what we would be seeing, but I was sworn to secrecy. It was truly the hardest secret I ever had to keep.
It was not entirely complete, however aside from a few blue screens in the background, and one or two special effects missing, it was barely noticeable.
I am a huge fan of Ginny and Harry so I will start with them. There is a lot more Ginny than ever before. She nearly equaled Ron for screen time. We first see her at the Burrow when Harry arrives outside and the first thing he sees is her reading through the window. Harry Just stands there for a moment, gazing up at her. Although she is dating Dean Thomas she never looks happy with him, except when she is snogging him at The Three Broomsticks. She was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But the only game we saw was from the Felix Felicis chapter when Ron believes Harry has slipped him the potion. During Christmas at the Burrow, Ginny and Harry wind up on the stairs alone and start to lean into each other to kiss, when the attack on the Burrow interrupts them.
The Burrow does not burn down, but it is surrounded by a ring of fire conjured by Bellatrix. Harry, seeing Bellatrix, runs after her, and Ginny runs after him, right into Greyback. But Harry comes to the rescue and the two of them stand in a very high growing cornfield fending off attacks from the deatheaters. Lupin and Tonks come to the rescue, but that is I believe the last we see of them. There is no Tonks and Lupin relationship and although Tonks' hair is brown there is no notice taken or any explanation given.
Tom Felton did a fantastic job in this film. Draco character remains true to the book, he even stamps on Harry's nose. But, sadly, we never get the pleasure of seeing Crabb and Goyle disguised as girls. In fact, they are hardly in this movie. The Sectumsempra scene was really good, even without moaning Myrtle. As Harry and Draco throw spells at each other poor Nigel sits frozen on one of the toilets. Snape runs in shortly and McGonagall is in the doorway after Harry cast the spell (Draco never yells Crucio) and he does do a cure his wounds with a spell that sounds almost like song. But he does not use legilimency on Harry, who runs straight out of the bathroom to McGonagall. In the next scene Hermione and Ginny band together and tell Harry to hide the potions book so not even Harry can find it. Ginny takes Harry to the room of Requirement, and makes him close his eyes while she hides the book. Then she kisses him briefly. By the time he opens his eyes she has vanished.
There was definitely tension between Ron and Hermione. In the very beginning at the Burrow, Ron cleans off a bit of toothpaste from Hermione's cheek. Later in Slughorn's class she describes what she smells in the love potion and trails off with "spearmint toothpaste¦" Lavender is quite nauseating and although she never gives Ron a necklace she does something equally as vomit worthy, steaming up a window on the Hogwarts Express with her breath and drawing a heart with "R + L" inside it. His relationship ends when he is unconscious and moaning Hermione's name after being poisoned. He remains confused about why it ended but very relieved.
The kid who played young Tom Riddle was Brilliant. His voice and demeanor raised the hairs on the back of my neck. There is no mention of the Gaunts, but the scene in Slughorn's office is there. Dumbledore however is truly surprised to learn that Riddle made 7 Horcruxes. It is in that scene that he realizes the ring is a Horcrux. He realizes what it was because when harry handles it briefly he moved his head like Voldemort.
We do get to hear Hagrid and Slughorn singing about Odo the Hero, and Harry is funny and a few lines where true to the book while under the influence of Felix Felicis. There is no Professor Trelawney, or the Dursleys. No Kreacher (no mention of inheriting Grimmauld Place whatsoever) or Dobby, or Bill and Fleur. There are no scenes with the Minister of Magic, and I don't believe they even mentioned Fudge was sacked (though I may have missed it).
Oh and most sadly of all, no description from Luna about the dangers of the Rotfang Conspiracy. Nor does she commentate the Quidditch match. Luna's role was very small, but she does have the lion hat and she is the one to find Harry on the train under the invisibility cloak with the help of her Spectrespecs.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was awesome!!! I only wish it were a real store. Unfortunately no U-No-Poo sign, but it was still a sight to see.
The scene with Harry and Snape at the end was the least finished of the movie; the background was mostly screens and lights and occasionally a sound persons head. It was very close to the book, though I thought Snape could have been stronger and angrier, when Harry called him a coward. His some of his last words to Harry are "You may have your mother's eyes but you are as dim as your father!"
As a huge fan of the books I have found myself getting more and more disappointed by all the changes in the movies and especially in Michael Gambon's portrayal of Dumbledore who is my favorite character. That being said I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie. Many of the changes were actually entertaining and Gambon has improved enough to be tolerable. It was so much better than Order of the Phoenix. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and can not wait to see it again.

The latest crop of Windows Phones, the Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X, bring together some of the latest technology with their cameras. Windows Phone cameras have progressed nicely through the years. We've seen new sensor technology to improve low-light performance, better software enhancements, and new stabilization mechanics come into play.
While the Nokia Lumia 920's Pureview camera has garnered a good bit of the Windows Phone 8 spotlight, the HTC 8X's camera has been lurking in the shadows. The 8X has a capable camera within its own right but how does it compare to the Lumia 920's heavy weight camera?
Let's look at the specs of both cameras.
- The Lumia 920 has a 8.7mp BSI sensor with optical stabilization. The Lumia 920 is fitted with a Carl Zeiss 26mm f2.0 lens.
- The HTC 8X has a 8mp BSI sensor without any stabilization. The 8X has a 28mm f2.0 lens. The HTC 8X also has a dedicated imaging chip that gives the 8X a smidgen more speed in acquiring focus, capturing the image and processing it. I can see this being a significant advantage as imaging chips develop but for now, the 8X is maybe a blink quicker than the Lumia 920.
Where Nokia has rather limited settings and relies on the Pureview processing algorithms, the HTC gives you control over effects filters (grayscale, negative, sepia, solarize), resolution (VGA to 8MP), white balance, exposure compensation, contracts, saturation, sharpness, ISO and face detection (on/off). It's a nice selection of controls and if you don't like messing with a cameras settings, each has an "auto" setting.

The key feature that separates these two cameras is optical stabilization. While the BSI sensor combined with the fast f2.0 lens (lets more light through the lens) gives the 8X nice low light performance, without stabilization motion blur becomes a concern. The slower the shutter speed, the more slight motions (breathing, finger twitch, shuffle of the feet, etc) will blur your subject.

The Lumia 920 has optical stabilization that keeps the camera sensor steady when such slight movements occur. This helps reduce (if not eliminate) motion blur when you use slower shutter speeds. For low light pictures, the Lumia 920 gets the nod. While the night photos from the 8X weren't bad at all, the Lumia 920 pulled in more light giving way to more detail in the images. Opened up more of the shadows if you will.

But what about photos taken where lighting isn't such a concern? Well... this is where the comparison of these two cameras gets interesting.
Images were taken at full resolution, at default settings and the Lumia 920's aspect ratio was set to 4:3 to be consistent with the 8X's aspect ratio. The only editing performed on the images was resizing for publication purposes. No sharpening, color adjustments, exposure or other adjustments were made (except for the last four images that I made a few minor adjustments to).

With outdoor images, I found the 8X have colors that were a little cooler than the Lumia 920. The Lumia 920's colors were warmer and more representative of the subject.
With indoor images it was the Lumia 920's turn to have cooler colors. Similar to the comparison with the HTC Titan II, the Lumia 920 created a slight blue color cast with indoor images. The HTC 8X on the other had had the warmer tones indoors. However, when the indoor lighting was more natural, the Lumia 920 regained it's warmth while the 8X turned a little cooler.

Can't really knock either camera on the color tones or color cast. It isn't an issue uncommon to digital cameras. The auto white balance on the Lumia 920 leans more towards natural lighting while the 8X leans towards artificial lighting. Luckily, the differences aren't major and if inclined, easily corrected in the cameras settings or with editing software.

As far as sharpness is concerned, the 8X gets a slight edge over the Lumia 920. It may be minor and I don't mean to be overly critical, but I still see a slight softness to the Lumia 920. The softness isn't enough cause panic in the streets and many won't pick up on it. Still, I think the Lumia 920's camera's performance would improve if Nokia bumped the sharpness setting just a tad.

So which is better? Tough call. Collectively, I've taken over five hundred photos with the Lumia 920 and HTC 8X. The results I found in this comparison are consistent with the other photos that have been posted in other reviews/comparisons or that are sitting on the cutting room floor.
While both cameras performed well and captured quality images, I still have to give the edge to the Lumia 920 because of the optical stabilization. The color cast, sharpness and exposure issues can be adjusted either by editing software or tweaking the camera settings. Motion blur can't and that's where the benefit of optical stabilization becomes key.
The decision on which Windows Phone to purchase goes beyond the camera. With the 8X and Lumia 920 you have design differences, color choices, screen sizes, and manufacturer support to consider. The nice thing about the 8X and Lumia 920 is that whichever way you go, you'll be pleased with the camera's performance.

Yala National Park
Sourced from Wikivoyage. Text is available under the CC-by-SA 3.0 license.
Yala National Park (also known as Ruhunu National Park) is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka. It consists of five blocks, two of which are now open to the public; and also adjoining parks. It is in the southeast region of the country, and lies in Southern Province and Uva Province. The park covers 979 km² (378 sq mi) and is about 300 km (190 mi) from Colombo. Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, and, along with Wilpattu it was one of the first two national parks in Sri Lanka, having been designated in 1938. The park is best known for its variety of wild animals. It is important for the conservation of Sri Lankan Elephants and aquatic birds.The western part of Yala (block one) is named as the area with highest leopard concentration in the world.
Yala is in the lowest peneplain of Sri Lanka, which extends from Trincomalee to Hambantota. Topographically the area is a flat and mildly undulating plain that runs to the coast with elevation is 30 metres (98 ft) close to the coast while rising in the interior to 100–125 metres (330–410 ft). The national park is in the dry semi-arid climatic region and rain is received mainly during the northeast monsoon. The mean annual rainfall ranges between 500–775 millimetres (20–30.5 in) while the mean temperature ranges between 26.4°C (79.5°F) in January to 30 °C (86 °F) in April. It is windier in Yala, during the southwest monsoon compared to the wind during the northeast monsoon with wind speeds from 23 km/h (14 mph) to 15 km/h (9.3 mph).Flora and fauna
Yala National Park has a variety of ecosystems including moist monsoon forests, dry monsoon forests, semi deciduous forests, thorn forests, grasslands, fresh water and marine wetlands, and sandy beaches. The area under forest cover mainly consists of Block I and rangelands of open parkland (Pelessa grasslands) including some extensive grasslands. The forest area is restricted to around the Menik River while rangelands are found towards the sea side. Other habitat types of the Block I are tanks and water holes, lagoons and mangroves and chena lands. The mangrove vegetation in the Buthuwa lagoon is largely Rhizophora mucronata while Avicennia spp. and Aegiceras spp. are less abundant. The vegetation of Block II is similar to those of Block I, and Yalawela, once a fertile paddy field, represents Pitiya grasslands. The mangroves of Block II occur around the estuary of Menik River, which extent to 100 hectares (0.39 sq mi). The common mangrove plants are Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia caseolaris, Avicennia spp., and Aegiceras corniculatum. The lagoons of Pilinnawa, Mahapothana, and Pahalapothana are also located in this block. The other common mangrove species are Sonneratia caseolaris, Acanthus ilicifolius, Excoecaria agallocha, and Lumnitzera racemosa. In the bare sand Crinum zeylanicum is found.Of 215 bird species of the park, six are endemic to Sri Lanka. They are Sri Lanka Grey Hornbill, Sri Lanka Junglefowl, Sri Lanka Wood-pigeon, Crimson-fronted Barbet, Black-capped Bulbul, and Brown-capped Babbler. The number of waterbirds inhabiting wetlands of Yala is 90 and half of them are migrants. Waterfowls (Lesser Whistling Duck, Garganey), Cormorants (Little Cormorant, Indian Cormorant), large waterbirds (Grey Heron, Black-headed Ibis, Eurasian Spoonbill, Asian Openbill, Painted Stork), medium-sized waders Tringa spp., and small waders Charadrius spp. are among the common waterbirds. Black-necked Stork and Lesser Adjutant are the rare birds that can be seen in the park. The migrant Great White Pelican and resident Spot-billed Pelican are also have been recorded. Other waterbirds attracted to the Yala lagoons include Lesser Flamingo, and Pelicans, and rare species such as Purple Heron, Night herons, Egrets, Purple Swamphen, and Oriental Darter. Thousands of waterfowls migrate to the lagoons of Yala during the northeast monsoon. They are Northern Pintail, White-winged Tern, Eurasian Curlew, Whimbrel, Godwits, and Ruddy Turnstone. The visiting species mingled with residing Lesser Whistling Duck, Yellow-wattled Lapwing, Red-wattled Lapwing, and Great Stone-curlew. Rock Pigeon, Barred Buttonquail, Indian Peafowl, Black Stork, Black-winged Stilt, and Greater Flamingo are among the other bird species. Crested Serpent-eagle and White-bellied Sea Eagle are the raptors of the park. The forest birds are Orange-breasted Green Pigeon, Hornbills, Old World flycatchers, Asian Paradise-flycatcher, Asian barbets, and Orioles.
44 species of mammals are resident in Yala National Park, and it has one of the highest leopard densities in the world. The elephant herd of Yala contains 300–350 individuals. Sri Lankan Sloth Bear, Sri Lankan Leopard, Sri Lankan Elephant, Wild water buffalo are threatened species. Toque Macaque, Golden Palm Civet, Red Slender Loris, and Fishing Cat are among the other mammals that can be seen in Yala.
The reptile fauna recorded from the park is 46 and five of them are endemic: Sri Lankan Krait, Boulenger's Keelback, Sri Lankan Flying Snake, Painted-lip Lizard and Wiegmann's Agama. The coastal line of the park is visited by the all five globally endangered sea turtles (Leatherback turtle, Olive Ridley, Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Hawksbill turtle, and Green turtle) that visit Sri Lanka. The two breeding crocodile species of Sri Lanka, Mugger crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles inhabit the park. The Indian cobra and Russell's viper are among the other reptiles. There are 18 amphibians species that have been recorded from Yala while Bufo atukoralei and Adenomus kelaartii are endemic to Sri Lanka. In the water courses of Yala, 21 fresh water fishes are found. The fish population in the perennial reservoirs contain mostly exotic food fish Mozambique tilapia. The Stone sucker and Esomus thermoicos are endemic among other species. The Blackspot barb, Olive Barb, Orange chromide and Common Spiny Loach are the common fish species. Crabs and prawns include the fauna in the lagoons of the park. A variety of butterfly species is found here. The Common bluebottle, Common Lime Butterfly, Crimson Rose, Common Jezebel, and Common Mormon are the common species.
Get in
It is also possible to stay at a bungalow more near the park, but it may cost more and is a little more difficult to reach alone.
It used to be possible to enter the park from Katharagama, but that entrance is now closed.
Fees and permits
Rs 3,500 for a day pass.
A half-day trip from Tissamaharama (6 people in "luxury" jeep; entrance fees and all other taxes included) cost Rs 4500 in March 2012.

The cat's purr can be heard from a distance and is so soporific. They love to bask in the sun at the top of rocks and it's breathtaking, so take a zoom/telephoto lens.
February-June/July is the optimum time to visit when water tables are low. Leopard, elephant and many smaller animals are competing for the same drinking supply. You are likely also to see sloth bears, deer, wild boar, buffaloes, crocodiles and monkeys. Birds are in profusion – up to 130 species. The park also contains a monastic settlement, Situlpahuwa and other important centres of pilgrimage
There is a small and spartan store at the entrance. It sells chips and soda mainly.
It's best to bring your own snacks for the duration of your trip.

There is no sleeping inside the park, For accommodations see the Tissa Tissamaharama sections.
Stay safe
Just stay in the vehicle. These are wild animals. There are crocodiles hidden everywhere, dangerous lizards, and heaps of other troublesome critters. Do not feed any animals within the sanctuary.
Also hold on the ride gets very bumpy and its easy to bang your head or get tossed around.

In the Arduin Universe, the ability to advance to higher levels is based on earned merit and not on acquisition of treasure. Therefore, points are given for many reasons but NOT for gold or other treasure. After all, it is the act of robbery, not the amount stolen, that gives the thief his experience.I have a lot of problems with this approach and would never adopt it in any of my campaigns. That said, I do find it interesting to see some of things that Dave Hargrave did think worthier of granting XP than acquiring treasure. Here's just a few:
- Death (with successful revival)
- Being sole survivor of an expedition
- Doing spells of tremendous magical import
- Being cursed
- Being point man
- Being expedition leader
- Coming within one point of dying
- Being rear guard
There's some definite value in Hargrave's notions, even if I think there'd be issues with implementing them. Still, I can't deny that I like the idea that actually dying -- and being brought back to life -- is XP-worthy. Mind you, I suspect Hargrave, like many gamers, has a very different notion of what experience points represent than did Gygax and Arneson, but that's the not the point right now. AD&D 2e, as I recall, experimented with more specific XP awards and I thought they were ill-conceived and much too persnickety for easy use. That's only an indictment against a particular implementation of the idea, not the idea itself.
All of the foregoing is just my way of saying that I don't think OD&D's experience system is sacrosanct. Yet, I'm also wary of replacing it whole cloth -- or even tinkering with it -- without a better sense of what effects such replacement/tinkering would have on the texture of game play. I know all too well that, for example, removing XP for gold or adding in "story awards" changes the way D&D is played and not in positive ways, in my opinion. Given that, I've (mostly) left XP as written and have found it works far better than many of its critics would imply.

President Barack Obama has been referred to as "salesman of the year" for the gun industry. The nickname is likely to stick around, considering that gun sales are expected to rise like a speeding bullet now that he's been reelected.
Though they'd probably never admit to it, gun manufacturers and weapons retailers might have secretly been rooting for a second term for President Obama. Why? The presence of Obama in the White House—or merely the thought that he could be commander in chief—has consistently been a trigger for soaring sales of guns and ammo.
From November 2008 through March 2009, FBI background checks for gun purchases were up 29% compared to the same period a year prior. For November—the month Obama won the presidential election in historic fashion—background checks rose 42%, the largest jump ever recorded during the decade the system has been in effect.
(MORE: Apocalypse Marketing: Top 10 Products and Services for the End of the World)
Similarly, through early 2012, with the prospect of another four years of Obama approaching, gun and ammunition sales increased sharply again, especially for certain semiautomatic assault rifles. As for explanations of why sales have spiked, industry analysts and surveys among gun buyers all point to fears that the Obama administration would introduce tougher gun control regulations. The idea is that anyone interested in buying a gun (or several dozen) should act before it's too late.
Now that President Obama has earned another four years and no longer has to worry about running for reelection, gun enthusiasts may be especially scared that it'll be difficult if not impossible to get their hands on certain kinds of firearms and rifles. Background checks rose 18.4% in October, reports the Los Angeles Times, and it's no coincidence that the stock price of shares of gun manufacturers like Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger and Co. got a major boost on Wednesday—the day after election day.
A second term for Obama means surging gun sales, according to analysts cited by Bloomberg News:
James Barrett, an analyst at CL King & Associates, raised his rating on Smith & Wesson to buy and Southport, Conn.-based Sturm Ruger to strong buy in separate notes to clients Wednesday. He had previously had neutral ratings on both companies.
"President Obama's re-election will be very positive for gun sales in the coming months," wrote Barrett, who is based in New York.
(MORE: 9 Products Enjoying a Curious Surge in Sales in 2012)
But are the fears of gun buyers justified? While there is much speculation that President Obama will push for a ban on assault weapons during his second term, his first four years weren't marked by much in the way of restricting access to guns. Per Reuters:
"The administration has not really lifted a finger in the last four years to tighten gun control legislation," said Wedbush Securities analyst Rommel Dionisio, who covers the gunmakers. "There is a consumer fear that Obama will tighten gun control legislation, but whether or not they will do it this time I don't know," Dionisio said.
