I am interested in purchasing an Anthem system for my Martin 000-15m. However I'm afraid that with the A-Frame "X" Bracing, the preamp for the Anthem will not fit since the A-Frame brace around the sound hole is taller than a typical brace. Will it fit at all?
Also, if it does not fit, will the Anthem SL be better for this guitar and fit properly? Thank you.

As for me, I have never felt in the least allergic to John - what's more, I think it's not at all difficult to like them both. They were both only human and had been very close for many years, and it seemed only natural they would have a go at each other after all that had happened; remember, Paul had had to sue the rest of them, and for whatever legal reason it was necessary, it didn't come across so well I suppose. As for the rest, all this "antagonism" between them seems to be, for the most part, an invention of the media and some weird-minded John "fans" (and now it turns out also some Paul fans ).

The Tribe is knocking on last place in the Division.
Just wondering what the record for the quickest descent (post all-star break) from first to worst is in terms of number of games.
It seems like just yesterday, the Tribe was in 1st place. Does anyone know the last date that the Tribe was actually in first this year and what their record was at the time?

Nice lotion! Although I don't use it on my child, I adore it. Yes. I've bought it for myself. The smell of sweet violet is divine. This lotion not only make your skin really soft it also make it more toned. If you like sweet floral scents by this lotion for yourself. Believe me, you won't regret it! Отличный лосьен! Использую его для себя. Отлично увлажняет, быстро впитывается. Аромат - просто сказочный, но ненавязчивый. Если вы любите сладкие цветочные ароматы, вы не разочаруетесь в покупке.

I can't stand the smell which is similar to baby powder.
Great moisturizing lotion for my children
Posted by 5280753039124847387 on Nov 30, 2016
The lotion is great, is has a gentle scent, light texture and smooth feeling afterwards. Highly recommended
Posted by 5171512499099564264 on Sep 07, 2016
I thiugh it would smell like a sugar-daddy-O of LUSH, because this lotions says it has a sweet violet scent.(sugar daddy o's top note is violet). anyway, but it doesn't smell like a violet, more like just a normal baby lotion. and fot the aspect of moisturzing...I have a really dry skin, so it's not rich enough for me.
Muy buen olor

No puedo decir que sea lo mas hidratante del mundo pero el olor es muy bueno, aunque cuesta que se absorba
Never been happier!

After looking and searching for baby products that are free of sulfates, parabens and junk I was having a hard time finding any that smelled nice. The rest on the market that could be comparable have no scent or are not pleasant at all. So when I found the Healthy Times line I was very excited and pleased with all of the wonderful scents. We have been buying them since out first daughter was born 9 years ago and continue to use it for our 1 yr. I am completely in love with the smell and quality and will not buy any other body product for our children.
Predomina un olor a toallita de bebe, polvo de talco, en cambio tiene notas de violeta.

(He apreciado que ha subido el precio y podría parecer algo cara ya que solo contiene 236ml)Deja la piel suave con poca cantidad, se extiende bien por la textura fluida, se absorbe enseguida, líquida. Muy natural, pura. Si te sirvió mi comentario dale un "Sí" :)

Stronger Growth Needed to Sustain Bull Market
Stock prices are helped by the Federal Reserve's bond buying and thumb on interest rates, and by cash rich companies aggressively buying back stocks and boosting dividends. Simply, U.S. CEOs are flush with cash but don't have enough opportunities to invest in organic growth in a slow growing U.S. economy.
To date, corporate profits have been driven higher mostly by U.S. firms thinning employee ranks to accommodate slow growing domestic sales, and by big gains abroad -- about half of the profits of S&P 500 companies are earned outside the U.S.
Boosting worker productivity in slow growing markets has limits, and many companies may reach those in 2013. Repatriated foreign profits face stiff corporate taxes making future stock buy backs and boosting dividends more difficult.
In the end, a stronger U.S. economy is needed to sustain a bull market into 2014, and the fundamental competitiveness of the U.S. economy in global markets must be improved.
Consumer spending should strengthen with improvements in the housing market; however, reductions in federal spending and deficits and eventual Fed pull back from bond buying and higher mortgage rates policy portends only moderate growth in the combined contributions to aggregate demand from consumers, federal and state governments, and residential construction -- those ultimately drive the remaining component of demand, business investments in structures, equipment, software and the like.
Too many consumer dollars go abroad for Middle East oil and Chinese goods that do not return to buy U.S. exports. Thursday, the Commerce Department is expected to report the January deficit on international trade in goods and services was $43 billion -- about $500 billion annually.
Businesses, consequently, are pessimistic about future demand for U.S.-made goods and services. And bearing higher taxes, more burdensome regulations, and increased benefits costs mandated by Obama Care, they are reluctant to undertake major new investments in the U.S. and continue investing and hiring mostly abroad.
Imported oil and subsidized imports from China account for the entire trade gap. Development of new onshore reserves in the Lower 48, despite all the hype, has not delivered nearly enough new oil, and a full push on U.S. potential in the Gulf, off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in Alaska could cut U.S. imports in half, push U.S. growth well above 3% a year, and persistently push up U.S. stock prices.
The surge in natural gas production and accompanying lower prices substantially improves the international competitiveness of industries like petrochemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and primary metals -- and important new investments have been announced. Investment opportunities are beginning to surface to deploy natural gas in place of oil in rail and coastal water transportation.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (608 votes).
In short: Outrageously over-priced, poorly organised & far too busy.In full: No chip timing, no predicted time pens at the start & not even a clock as you cross the start line. Far too many people for this ever to be a success. I'll never be doing it again.Date of review: July 27, 2008
In short: Took my entry fee, didn't send me an entry pack & now won't refund meIn full: Overall not very impressed by the organisation. Not sure why for such a large event they can't offer an email facility if you have a query. Instead you have to write AND provide an SAE if you want a response.3 weeks after writing and still no response. Am beginning to doubt I'll see my race entry fee again. Date of review: July 20, 2008
In short: Please, please, pleassee.... improve it or kill this race off!!!In full: Returned to this after a one year break. Still over-priced but as you are running in London not surprising. Poor medal smaller than previous years. Goody bag - ideal for putting some shopping in on the way home.Officials - some good but many didn`t care what they were doing. The only good points were the support on the course and the course itself. Start area - a joke. If you going to do a mass race, bring in zones for fast runners at the front, slower at the back or staggered start. Lack of chip timing.Organisation, you can pay the same money and get better treatment. Even smaller 10k`s are better too.Ideal for a fun runner but for the experience, one to avoid at all costs.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: long walk to the start,long walk to the finish.no timed chip and a really poor quality medal at the end. very disappointing.In full: long walk to the start,long walk to the finish.no timed chip and a really poor quality medal at the end. very disappointing.goodie bags are not handed out after the finish you have to go and pick them up from the kit bag area. if you have no kit bag to hand in its a struggle to get a goodie bag at all. its very badly organised for the money i would expect betterDate of review: July 13, 2008
In short: long walk to the start,long walk to the finish.no timed chip and a really poor quality medal at the end. very expensive and very disappointing.In full: long walk to the start,long walk to the finish.no timed chip and a really poor quality medal at the end. very disappointing.badly directed back to the kit bag areaIf you have no kit bag to hand in you won't get a medal as the goodie bag is handed out as you collect you bag at the finish.Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: So disorganised I could not find the 5k and had to do the 10k!In full: The wrong tube stations were put on the website for the 5k start, none of the marshalls even knew there was a 5k, and then directed me to the 10k baggage. By this time I had missed the race! They let me run the 10k instead - no starting zones, no timing (for a £30 race can they not provide chips?!), medals had not been provided to all baggage stations where they were being given out and they were certainly going to run out...Worst organised race I've ever done. It's big, but not big enough for that to be an excuse.On the plus side, very friendly crowd!Date of review: July 10, 2008
In short: n/aDate of review: July 10, 2008
In short: Even though it's not got great reviews i still do it every year!!!In full: I always find it slightly dissapionting reading the reviews on this race. Although I have done races which are much better i still love this race and commit to it every year. This year seemed to take much longer to cross the start line and the first 2miles were very difficult to get into a stride due to the large number of people walking/stopping which is always frustrating! The entry is not cheap but is worth it to run on the closed roads of London although would be good to be rewarded with a slightly better goody bag as was very dissapointed ths year!Still I know i'll be back next year!!!Date of review: July 10, 2008
In short: Head for the Hard Rock Cafe!!In full: Got off the tube at Green Park about 8am. No baggage to drop off , crossed Piccadilly and walked up the right hand side. A few people around. Arrived at the Hard Rock Cafe about 8:15, thought.. we'll have a drink and go to the toilet. Realised this was the elite side of the road! Warmed up on an empty road and chatted to people... very pleasant. Could see the masses on the other side of the road. Lined up for the start.. in fact we had a false start! Suddenly we were surrounded and then we were off. Nice clear run, great course, definitely PB potential. ran a decent time considering I'd walked miles the day before. A great morning... but wouldn't do the run again if I had to join the thousands standing on the other side of the road.Date of review: July 10, 2008

Art Exhibit - Allison Hawkins
Category: Art & Music
Location: Curtis Gallery
[December 2012] –A new art exhibition by the artist Allison Hawkins will open at the Library on Sunday, January 6, 2013. The exhibition, entitled "Wild Plains" will run from January 6 to February 10 in the H. Pelham Curtis Gallery, with an opening reception on Sunday, January 6 from 3 – 5 PM. The reception is open to the public and all are invited to attend.
About her work the artist says, "The work in Wild Plains reflects a longing for a mysterious and amazing landscape that becomes an escape, a refuge. These are lands of open space, quiet air, and mystical entities.
I am drawn to a bleak feeling in the land, one of darkness and possible melancholy. Think about wind through the leaves at night. However, there are points of comfort. These are found in the animals/creatures that move in and out of the drawings. They offer companionship, reciprocity, wisdom, and guidance. The activities of these creatures also represent human relationships and in this capacity they serve a cathartic role. The animal portraits are personalities; they are engaged, emotive."

Drivers of Change
Capacity Development has evolved as a concept and an approach to replace the earlier emphasis on training and technical cooperation. From empirical work on the ground, UNDP identifies four drivers of change where tactical interventions yield significant and lasting gains on capacity. These four drivers of change are institutional arrangements, leadership, knowledge and accountability . In other words, a large number of capacity challenges fall into these broad categories and can be diagnosed through rigorous capacity assessments.

Topic: Devise or other auth gems
Hey Rails Forum. I'm new to this forum and to rails development. I am starting to get a pretty decent grasp of the Ruby language, and how Rails itself works. I am looking to work out a simple custom auth system. Username, password, email will suffice. I would also like to add some custom properties to my User model. After googling around a bit today it seems that Devise is the preferred solution for using login. I was wondering if anyone had any experience using it? Or if there is a better solution that I haven't stumbled across yet?

How do I SHOW CREATE TABLE in CUBRID?
MySQL provides SHOW CREATE TABLE syntax which shows the CREATE TABLE statement that creates the given table including all its CONSTRAINTS and INDEXes. How do I obtain the same information in CUBRID?
Edit: I need an SQL solution so that I can execute the query in scripting language such as PHP. So, CUBRID Manager solution is not exactly what I am looking for.
Considering that $object_name = 'stadium', the following will be the output.
CREATE TABLE stadium( code INTEGER NOT NULL, nation_code CHAR NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, area NUMERIC, seats INTEGER, address VARCHAR(100), CONSTRAINT pk_stadium_code PRIMARY KEY (code) );
Does anyone know pure PHP solution?
One solution would be in CUBRID Manager,
- by right clicking on a table,
- selecting the option Edit Table,
- and then the tab SQL Script.
CREATE TABLE "athlete"( "code" integer AUTO_INCREMENT(16693,1), "name" character varying(40) NOT NULL, "gender" character(1), "nation_code" character(3), "event" character varying(30), CONSTRAINT pk_athlete_code PRIMARY KEY("code") );
Another way to SHOW CREATE TABLE statement in CM is:
- right click on the table;
- choose "Copy SQL to Editor" -> "CREATE <table>"
choose "Copy SQL to Clipboard" -> "CREATE <table>"
If you need a solution working from PHP, the easiest way is to use the code from the CUBRID Database Schema application: http://code.google.com/p/cubrid-database-schema/
The application is open source, so you have full access to the code.
And you check how it works here: http://cubdbsch.cubrid.org/
A native PHP solution would be to use cubrid_schema() function. It will return the full information including column types, constraints, indexes, primary keys, etc. All you will need to do is to build the SQL from that return value which should be easy.
CUBRID 9.0 now supports "SHOW CREATE TABLE" statement. Here is the SHOW CREATE TABLE manual page.

I didnt know what to think. it was either shows done, or maybe JUST MAYBE BRUCE WOULD COVER! but the band finished the song and ozzy the trooper with so much heart came out and apoligized, and finished the show flawlessly

Good Decaf Tea
Posted by 5631393361588436910 on Feb 19, 2015
I wish they sell the same tea with no individual wrapping, in bulk for lower price. Liked the tea but I like it stronger. Decaf isn't very big in Japan. This is a great gift for expected mothers.
Posted by 5065310046438741777 on Feb 18, 2013
high quality, good flavor
Fairly Good
Posted by Reviewer2423238 on Dec 12, 2011
This is a good Earl Grey tea. I'd rate it at 3 stars, but it gets an extra star for being decaf and not tasting like it. Not much to report flavor wise, tastes a lot like Twinings Earl Grey.
Great for bedtime
Posted by 5542827354204393924 on Jul 05, 2014
It's really hard to find a decaf black tea where I live (outside of the US), and Earl Grey is one of my favorites, especially with milk. This tea has a nice rich smell and flavor.

Absolutely delicious and fresh.

Because of unforeseen circumstances of our current stream hosting company, we must make changes to a different provider. This means the IP address of both the broadband and dial-up streams will be changing. When done, it will be immediate however some computers may still use the file that is in the cache of your computer. For those who have bookmarked the link, you will have to replace it with the new one.
I will be testing a new provider shortly and will announce it in this thread once completed. At which time reception reports will be welcome so I can determine to either stay or try another provider. Until we finalize a new stream provider, please be patient and be sure to refresh your page for the new links.

Adjustable lamp provides ample illumination for projects
Even though Club member Judy Payton of Pasadena, Maryland, had a well-lit shop, there were times when detailed work demanded more illumination than the overhead lights could provide. To solve the problem, she drilled holes along the perimeter of her workbench to serve as mounting points for a swing-arm lamp and magnifier. Whenever she needs more light or a closer look, she inserts the fixtures into the holes. Judy points out that if your workbench has existing holes for bench dogs, you could just as easily use those as mounting points and forgo the drilling.

Topic: Is ROR a good idea for an intranet based application?
Hello everyone,
I was hoping to get some advice. I want to create an application which is like a library that holds a lot of different information including documents, pics etc where a user can log in and search for different topics and see the definition of terminology. For example users would be able to click on the word 'electical current' and a definition of electrical current would appear with also links to supporting information. The user will not be allowed to edit any information only read it.
I am wondering what is the best language to use to do this? I know that storing all the information in a html file is definitely not the way to go. But I am not sure what to use - whether html linked to a database is a good option (I've heard that this is also not great because your database code is still accessible) or whether ror is a good option. I decided that ror would be a good framework to use but I still have some doubts such as:
1.the application will not be hosted on the internet but only on an intranet would ror still be good for this?
2.the 'site' is basically static except for a few users who will have admin access although it may have more user specific functions later on.
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

Jay,I ran your KASL/KABF scenario through the Mixed Mass Percentage Calculator at http://foodsim.toastguard.com/ and your ratio is correct. As for the use of bromated flour in olden times in NYC, according to this post by Evelyne Slomon it appears that such use was quite common, going back to the Depression: Reply 298 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1258.msg37081/topicseen.html#msg37081 Peter
Hmmm... I was a little wary of using the BS for NY, but that looks pretty darn good. No excess char on the outer rim at all (something I was concerned about). How much flame did you have?
Scott:Can you post or PM a link to the other (more difficult) recipe? Thanks.

Salt & Pepper Mills
Salt and pepper mills bring beauty and function to the table, and our choices include both traditional and modern designs crafted with the finest materials and grinding mechanisms. Salt and pepper grinders can't help but add a gourmet look to all of your dinner settings, and the custom-sized seasoning grains add a professional, finished look to your favorite dishes.
Williams-Sonoma Salt & Pepper Mills are creatively imagined by our kitchen design team and expertly turned into reality by Italian artisans. The olivewood and maple is sourced in Europe, while the walnut pepper and salt mills are crafted from materials from United States-sourced trees. The olivewood, maple and walnut designs can be mixed and matched with other wood table elements including bowls and salad utensils for a coordinated wooden look. They also stand alone as perfect accents for a rustic or contemporary dining area.
The traditional seasoning mill style features an easy-to-grasp rounded knob at the top and an easy-to turn mechanism at the bottom. stainless-steel or carbon steel is used for the pepper grinder mechanisms while tough ceramic is used in the salt grinders to resist corrosion. Graceful and more minimalist styles of mills are made with the same quality grinding gears and surfaces but with updated styling for more modern and elegant tastes. With the wide array of designs available you'll find the right mill styles to match your favorite table linensand other serving items.
If you prefer a colorful pair of mills you can choose from a variety of shiny and matte hues to match your kitchen or dining room decor. These colors look great in all-white or retro kitchens and they're easy to find when you're busy creating a meal. Some designs feature stainless-steel accents, or you can find a set of mills with a metal or stainless-steel finish to coordinate with other stainless-steel cookware and accents in your food prep area.
For super busy chefs or family members with limited grip strength you can't beat electric salt and pepper grinders made in a variety of finishes and designs. They dispense the right amount of salt or pepper with the touch of a button. Like the manual grinders the electric grinders allow you to adjust the size of the grain for a fine to coarse finish. The fine setting is great for grinding white pepper for delicate sauces. The coarse finish makes attractive grains of black pepper for pepper steak and plate garnishing. Salt keepers are also handy for a quick pinch when cooking and baking, and coffee-style hand grinders allow you to grind into a drawer for a large recipe or for filling salt shakers with a custom grind. The coffee-style table grinders can also dispense pepper directly onto foods if desired.
There are some who question the need for a salt grinder, but there are several reasons to have one on hand. Plain table salt doesn't have as much surface area per grain as a coarser grain of sea salt has after it's been run through the mill. You'll use less milled salt to get the same flavor punch. A sprinkling of larger salt crystals looks great on caramel and other desserts. You can also see the larger grains more easily to avoid clumping salt in a sauce or casserole.
Whether you need salt and pepper mills for creating culinary masterpieces or for adding more gourmet flavor at the table, you can enhance your mills with a set of matching salt and pepper shakers. Kids with limited hand strength and adults who prefer the shake to the grind will appreciate having their choice of seasoning styles, and you won't have to run back and forth between the kitchen and the dining area to retrieve the mills if you're still cooking while guests are eating. Better still, you can order a set of mills and shakers for the tabletop to match your serveware. Then you'll have a dedicated set of salt and pepper mills for the kitchen and dining areas and your seasoning needs are met in both spaces.

Hello LR Baggs
I would like to ask your advice please:
I have an Alhambra classical guitar.
I have heard good things about the Anthem Classical and the IBeam. I
would just like to confirm that they are for classical guitars?
In addition to that, the PARA DI or the VENUE DI: Are these suitable for classical guitars?
Any combination that you could reccomend? I would greatly appreciate your input and advice, I love my classical guitar and would hate to mess this up! Especially if guitar surgery is involved.
Thank you

Kissinger, Henry
Henry Kissinger 1923–-
(Born Heinz Alfred Kissinger) German-born American political theorist, essayist, and memoirist.
The following entry presents an overview of Kissinger's career through 1999.
An influential and highly respected statesman, Henry Kissinger is distinguished for his diplomatic authority and his profound impact on American foreign policy before, during, and following his tenure in the White House as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State in the 1960s and 1970s. Kissinger's best-known writings, The White House Years (1979), Years of Upheaval (1982), and Years of Renewal (1994), chronicle his global policy planning and give detailed accounts of historical events and political figures. Also covered in his writings are Kissinger's strategies for international diplomacy and his opponents' views and counter strategies.
Biographical Information
Born Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Fuerth, Germany in 1923, Kissinger fled to New York City with his family when he was fifteen years old to escape Jewish discrimination in his native country. At the age of twenty, while serving in the military during World War II, Kissinger was given the duty of reorganizing municipal governments in subjugated Germany; a role that highlighted his talent for managing international affairs. After the war, Kissinger earned a scholarship to attend Harvard University. There he completed both undergraduate and doctorate level degrees in government. Kissinger eventually became a full professor at Harvard while serving as a consultant to various bureaus of U.S. government, including the Psychological Strategy Board of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. During this period, he also composed several books, including A World Restored: Metternich, Castlereagh, and the Problems of Peace, 1812–1822 (1957), Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy (1957), and The Troubled Partnership: A Reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance (1965). In 1968, after working on the campaign of presidential candidate Nelson Rockefeller as a speechwriter and advisor, Kissinger became President Richard Nixon's foreign policy advisor and director of the National Security Council. While in this office, Kissinger gained prominence and recognition for his initiation of arms-control negotiations with the Soviet Union, his opening of diplomatic relations with communist China, his peace negotiations with the Middle East, and his strategic efforts to end the Vietnam War; the latter earned him the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1973. In the same year, amid the turmoil of the Watergate scandal surrounding the Nixon presidency, Kissinger was appointed to the office of Secretary of State, a position that limited his authority in the realm of international negotiation. He remained Secretary of State until the end of the Gerald Ford administration in 1977. Near the end of his White House tenure, Kissinger published The White House Years, a detailed memoir of the first seven years of the Nixon administration, and Years of Upheaval, a chronicle of the last year of Nixon's administration. Since his retirement in 1977, Kissinger has served as a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and has been called upon to give counsel to more recent administrations on issues of foreign policy. He also completed his third volume of memoirs, Years of Renewal, a detailed account of the Ford administration, as well as other well-known writings, including Diplomacy (1994). Kissinger has also served as a political analyst, lecturer, business consultant, Georgetown University Professor of Diplomacy, and member of several associations and committees.
Major Works
Although Kissinger's work discusses a vast range of political issues from the seventeenth century to the 1970s, he explores several recurrent themes, including international coexistence, balance-of-power government, détente, and American attitudes toward political morality. In his first work, A World Restored, Kissinger reflects on the balance-of-power diplomacy practiced by Robert Stewart (known popularly as Viscount Castlereagh), who was the British foreign secretary, and Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar von Metternich, foreign minister of Austria, as they brought order to Europe in the post-Napoleonic era. Kissinger explores construction of international order based on legitimacy rather than conquest, and conservatism rather than imperialism, and he focuses on the idea that the most gifted statesmen have created policy rooted in historical, political, and cultural contexts. He continued to reject the imposition of American policy on foreign nations in The Troubled Partnership (1965), arguing that American foreign policy (especially in relation to the Soviet Union), devoid of balance-of power diplomacy and unity, would lead to the ultimate dissolution of the Atlantic Alliance. Kissinger's recurrent focus on balance and distribution of power was broadened in the three volumes of his memoirs: The White House Years, Years of Upheaval, and Years of Renewal. As his most widely read writings, these works chronicle Kissinger's eight-year incumbency as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. These narratives detail events, public attitudes, political figures, opposition movements, and outcomes encompassing Kissinger's term of office. The memoirs focus on themes of conflict resolution through mediation (détente), foreign policy based on realism, balance-of-power policy, and international coexistence. These are especially apparent in Kissinger's accounts of the strategic alliance with China, the negotiations to end the Vietnam War, the Middle East peace process, the initiation of Soviet arms control negotiations, and the promotion of a peaceful coexistence between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Diplomacy provides an overview of international balance-of-power politics from the seventeenth century to the current period in order to assert the importance of upholding a balance of power in the present worldwide political climate.
Critical Reception
Kissinger's writings are consistently praised for their attention to historical detail, clarity, depth of reasoning, fusion of theory to action, and insightful characterization of political figures. Kissinger is reproached by some critics, however, for his inconsistencies in policy and illogical proposals aimed at remedying foreign diplomacy gone awry. He has been accused of failing to recognize political idealism and for contradicting his own stance against Wilsonianism (a term used to describe Woodrow Wilson's ideas about American foreign policy). The most negative critics assert that Kissinger alters the explication of certain events retrospectively in order to combat negative assessment of his policies, especially in regard to the Vietnam War and in respect to U.S. relations with the Soviet Union. Critical evaluation of Kissinger's writing is often problematic due to his dual role as a statesman and author; critics often focus on his political contributions and failures rather than on his writings. Many commentators hold that through his work as an author, Kissinger recounts foreign policy of the past and present in order to shape international relations of the future.

SOURCE: A review of "A World Restored: Metternich, Castlereagh and the Problems of Peace, 1812–1822," in The American Historical Review, Vol. 68, No. 4, July, 1958, pp. 953–55.
[In the following review, Wright offers a positive assessment of A World Restored, concluding that Kissinger skillfully explores and interprets international relations in the post-Napoleonic period.]
This book [A World Restored] is less a history of Europe's defeat of, and reconstruction after, Napoleon than an interpretation of that history in universal terms. The author recognizes that history does not repeat itself exactly, but he insists that the problems of different periods, the methods of dealing with them, and the motivation of the actors may be similar. Consequently, "generalization" may be "abstracted from the uniqueness of individual experience." He seldom makes explicit an analogy between the post-Napoleonic and post-Hitlerian periods, but the alert reader is continuously aware of an implicit analogy. The Russia of Tsar Alexander and that of Stalin were similar in manifesting "the indeterminacy of a [revolutionary] policy of absolute Moral claims." The France of Napoleon and the Germany of Hitler were similar in manifesting "the [revolutionary] claims of power, as the France of Talleyrand and the Germany of Adenauer were similar in repudiating revolution and supporting moderation, restoration and unity. The Britain of Castlereagh and the United States of Roosevelt, each in its time on the periphery of world politics with a tradition of isolation, were similar in marrying the conception of equilibrium to that of collective security, maintained by recognition of the self-evident advantages of peace." The Austria of Metternich and the Britain of Churchill, each in its time conservative and in the center of world...

[In the following review of The Troubled Partnership: A Reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance, Holmes tempers praise for Kissinger's analysis of divisions within the Atlantic alliance with skepticism for his proposed remedies.]
There is far more good sense in this book [The Troubled Partnership] than in all the many other examinations of the present state of the Atlantic alliance put together. Henry Kissinger has always had a better nose for political realities than his fellow gamesmen in the American academies, and...

[In the following essay discussing White House Years, Ganin focuses on Kissinger's analysis of the Arab-Israeli conflict and his role in Middle East peace negotiations during his tenure as national security advisor to President Nixon.]
Since World War II few international disputes have elicited such acute interest and vast literature as the Arab-Israeli conflict. Obviously, the four Arab-Israeli wars have captured the greatest interest of journalists, those writers of "instant history" who rush their manuscripts to print before the public...

[In the following review of Observations: Selected Speeches and Essays, 1982–1984, Welch favorably discusses Kissinger's insight into the relations between America and its European allies, yet negatively emphasizes the inconsistency in Kissinger's political theories.]
Thrown together as they are in order of emission, Dr Kissinger's Observations amount to no single coherent whole, with all perceptions and arguments directed to one massive conclusion. Yet a noble unifying leitmotiv does underlie all his peregrinations—the prosperity and survival...

[In the following essay, Russell discusses Kissinger's philosophical exploration of statesmanship as defined by the political actions of Metternich and Castlereagh in the post-Napoleonic era.]
Philosophical thinking about statesmanship is indispensable for establishing the basis of legitimacy and order in world politics. Legal or moral choices in a state's external relations achieve meaning only within a normative framework where the claims of power and ethics are harmonized in national self-expression. This paper...

[In the following review of Diplomacy, Howard discusses Kissinger's analysis of "power politics" in Europe and America from 1648 to the twentieth century as a medium through which political leaders have established an international balance of power. Howard concludes that Kissinger's model of conduct is outdated for modern society and remains mere nostalgia.]

[Diplomacy] is a magnificent book. It makes one yearn for the days when the United States had a foreign policy in place of the present mixture of wishful thinking, woolly platitudes, and obsession with tomorrow's newspaper headlines.

The conduct of foreign policy has of late fallen into disrepute. The confusions of the post-Cold War world have made diplomacy seem especially futile. Economic decline has turned attention to the cost of overseas display, and the disappearance of a single external object of confrontation has...

[In the following review, Zelikow asserts that Kissinger paints a contradictory portrait of his own statesmanship concerning his opposition to Wilsonianism, his efforts in Indochina, and his emphasis on American moral obligation and honor. However, Zelikow applauds Kissinger's skill at finding purpose in dense amounts of historical fact, his ability to use intuition and empathy to adapt his policies, and his effort to persevere in policy-making during the tumultuous last year of his tenure as secretary of state.]
In 1979 Henry A. Kissinger published his memoir White...

[In following review, Zelikow presents a positive review of Kissinger's Years of Renewal and discusses the memoir as a means by which Kissinger attempts to refute negative criticism of his foreign policy.]
Autobiographies are not biographies, which is one of the reasons why they can be so interesting. Henry Kissinger goes one step further. Like Winston Churchill, he sidesteps simple autobiography, choosing instead to impose his view of his role in history by acting as his own historian. Years of Renewal, which covers the 30 months of the Ford administration,...

Towards the end of his third volume of memoirs, Henry Kissinger indulges in some reflections on the changing nature of statesmanship. These are characteristically shrewd until he reaches the argument that information has largely removed the need for style as an instrument of...

[In the following review of Years of Renewal, Kagan negatively discusses Kissinger's analysis of Soviet foreign relations in the Nixon-Ford era as a revisionist, distorted version of historical events, asserting that Kissinger retrospectively attributes the demise of the Soviet system and the Cold War to Nixon's, Ford's, and his own policies of détente.]

Comments about Learning Resources Geometric Solids:
I use these along with our homeschool math curriculum (RightStart Math) with my 1st grader. The shapes are spot on as far as I can tell. They're made of wood, and are just as the product images show. Other than saying the shapes are accurate and easy for a 5 year old to handle and identify (or learn to identify, as the case may be) I don't know what else I could say about them. They are smooth, so no concerns about getting splinters and so forth.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Calling it an oasis of nature amid the parking lots and megastores near Sawmill Road, about 60 neighbors and environmental activists gathered yesterday to save the Sawmill State Wildlife Education Area.
"It's just a little gem we have," said Valerie Winston-Stoner, 51, of Columbus. "I can't believe they're going to cut it down and put up another building when there's a Circuit City that's empty, and that cement lot down there is not utilized."
Winston-Stoner said she raised three boys nearby. She said the schools brought them to the small forest on field trips.
"It's nice to have something close to home that's so unique," she said. "It's so nice to drive by and not see a brick building."
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is in the process of turning the 18-acre woods and wetland over to a developer, in exchange for 43 acres along the Olentangy River near Highbanks Metro Park.
The Sawmill wetland was preserved 18 years ago as part of a land swap involving The Limited Inc. A 2008 Ohio EPA report lists it as one of only 14 wetland areas within I-270 capable of supporting amphibian wildlife.
Developer James Schrim has said he plans to preserve about half of the wildlife area's 7.5 acres of wetlands. He argued that the property he is offering in the swap would be better for the state once some environmental issues are cleaned up and a wetland is installed.
But environmental advocates say man-made wetlands typically have a high failure rate, and the state should not end the permit agreement reached during the previous land swap.
"Disregarding that permit really sets a bad precedent for other wetlands across Ohio," said Kristen Kubitza of the Ohio Environmental Council. The wooded area, she said, helps collect storm water and is "one of the few natural, public areas in this community."
The nature preserve has been noticeably neglected, showing an overgrown parking lot and a damaged boardwalk. The gate to the wetland usually is locked. Officials' hopes of using it as a regular educational site never materialized.
Supporters said that, if the state can't handle it, the property should be turned over to the city park system.
The Ohio Sierra Club recently asked the Ohio inspector general to probe the deal after several emails referred to a friendship between Schrim and Scott Zody, an assistant director at the Department of Natural Resources.
Steve McCaw of Columbus has formed Friends of the Sawmill Wetlands to rally support to save the area.
"For me, this is to protect something I had as a child that your kids are not going to have close by," he said.
Maria Brea of Columbus — who was there with her husband, Alvin, and 11-year-old son, Daniel, who attends nearby Brookside Elementary — wonders why more development is needed when a number of empty storefronts and buildings already exist.
"I just want to preserve it," she said. "It's the only thing around here that is not being developed. I think it's worth it."

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore.
These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami.
Most tsunamis, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.
Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour—about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.
In deep ocean, tsunami waves may appear only a foot or so high. But as they approach shoreline and enter shallower water they slow down and begin to grow in energy and height. The tops of the waves move faster than their bottoms do, which causes them to rise precipitously.
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbor and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a tsunami, because the wave's crest and its enormous volume of water typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can save lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of a series of waves, called a wave train, so its destructive force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave and should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.
Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.
The best defense against any tsunami is early warning that allows people to seek higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, a coalition of 26 nations headquartered in Hawaii, maintains a web of seismic equipment and water level gauges to identify tsunamis at sea. Similar systems are proposed to protect coastal areas worldwide.

Hi Bellas,
I went to Vickys yesterday for their big sale...pretty much the only time I buy a lot of stuff at this store...and I got a bunch of cute stuff!
I made a video on my review of some of the beauty products I bought-they were all around $3-$4 and mainly lip products. I really don't like their eyeshadows, no color payoff in my opinion. However, if you DO like the shimmery sheer look, then go for it!
So get your tails to Vickys and load up! I got a bunch of cute bras and panties and some PINK sweatpants...and I hope my review helps :) I'll be posting the corresponding video showing the look I created sometime soon...I just have to edit the video because the whole thing ended up being 28 minutes long! And you know Youtube does not like long videos, lol. Stay tuned!

Pick your place. �Look for a big, open space without obstacles such as power lines, trees, buildings and roadways,� says David Gomberg, owner of Gomberg Kite Productions in Neotsu, Ore. �Beaches are optimal, because there�s nothing to block the wind as it�s coming off the ocean. But you also can find good kite-flying conditions in a big schoolyard, in an open park or along a lakeshore.� 2. Launch your kite. �Have someone else hold the kite while you walk away and let out the line until you�re about 50 to 70 feet apart,� Gomberg says. Then signal the other person to let go. Pull in on the line, and the kite should lift with the breeze�no running required. 3. Adjust your altitude. To increase altitude, simply let out a little line, then pull it back in. Gently pump the line this way until the kite reaches a height with a good, smooth wind. Then kick back and enjoy your flight. Brought to you by: American Profile
