Rated 3.3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by thunderysky Big Difference My son's feet feel alot better now that he's using these pads. August 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by runner too bulky This was too bulky and very uncomfortable. Would never be able to run with these in my shoes. April 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rox Provides great relief, needs replacing often. These compression pads really help to alleviate the pain caused by my Merton's Neuroma. However, the top layer starts to slide away from the sticky bottom layer and will eventually slide over too far and not be in the correct place. For that reason, it's a good idea to always have a replacement pair ready to go when you need it. February 26, 2014

Sales of notebooks powered by the latest Intel Corp.'s Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" microprocessors appear to be lower than expected. Even though the decline, according to FBR Capital Markets, an investment bank, seems to be relatively slight in the first quarter (Q1), the demand towards PCs will also not increase in Q2.
"Our contacts suggest Intel's Sandy Bridge products are not stimulating as much end demand as expected, likely impacting AMD too," said an analyst with FBR Capital Markets in a research note for clients," said an FBR analyst in a note for clients, reports StreetInsider web-site.
Apparently, due to Intel's Serial ATA-related problems with chipsets (which physically could not affect proper implementations of mobile computers) as well as natural decline of sales in the first quarter sales of notebooks seem to decrease, according to FBR. Looks like actual shipments of mainstream notebooks dropped and sales of SNB-based systems did accordingly.
"Checks with the top six notebook ODMs have deteriorated of late, with first quarter [Q1] notebook builds downticking slightly from –10.5% quarter-over-quarter [QOQ] to –11% QOQ, and with Q2 builds downticking from an optimistic +15% QOQ (which we said was likely to be reduced) to +7% QOQ, worse than expected," added the FBR analyst.
The problems with the Intel platform can give a boost with the AMD-based solutions. At this point it is not obvious, though.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) celebrates the nation's longest running public health campaign: National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW), from March 17 to 23, 2013. As a longtime supporter of NPPW, one of the CPSC's greatest contributions to the effort has been the requirement of child-resistant closures on certain medicines and household chemicals.
When NPPW was launched more than 50 years ago, about 400 children a year died from unintentional poisoning. The most common culprit: aspirin. Today, about 40 children a year die from unintentional poisoning. Although this demonstrates significant progress, CPSC believes that is still too many, which is why the agency continues to identify and address new and recurring poison dangers.
"During National Poison Prevention Week, we celebrate the tremendous success of this public safety campaign," said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "There are still children who need to be protected from household poisoning, so we must not let our guard down. Products that pose a toxic risk to children need to be locked up and put away from their reach."
Recently, CPSC issued warnings about poison dangers involving coin-size batteries and a product new to the U.S. marketplace, single-load liquid laundry packets. Children are attracted to the shapes and textures of these products intended for adults. When these products are left within a child's reach, the results can be tragic. CPSC is encouraged that the coin and button cell industry is developing more secure packaging and taking additional steps to try to keep the products away from young children. However, CPSC seeks design changes that eliminate the serious chemical burn injuries that often occur upon ingestion. CPSC is also encouraged that the manufacturers of laundry packets are developing improved warning labels, making their product packaging less attractive to children, and have committed to implement a comprehensive multi-year consumer awareness campaign. However, CPSC seeks additional design changes to all types of packages containing laundry packets that will make individual packets less accessible to children.
Young children have required emergency medical treatment as a result of swallowing or ingesting household products. CPSC's message to parents: These incidents are preventable.
Consumers are encouraged to take the following safety steps to prevent unintentional poisonings:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at

PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One: Which is Right For You?
By Craig Donofrio
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Both Sony's
The Xbox One is priced at $499, and the PlayStation 4 is set at $399. However, be prepared to shell out another $50 or more if you want access for either system's online perks and multiplayer services.
Subscription services
If you're planning on using the new Xbox for any of its apps or multiplayer gaming, you will have to pay a monthly fee. Microsoft requires you to pay for any real Internet access via their Xbox Live Gold service, even if you're only using it to access your Netflix queue (yes, the one you already pay a monthly fee for). A 12-month subscription typically goes for $60, although with some bargain hunting (sometimes just by checking Amazon) you can find it for around $50 or less.
Similarly, you'll need a PlayStation Plus account for most multiplayer games. However, you won't need a Plus account to access your apps. A one-year Plus subscription will run you $50.
If you currently have a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold account, you will be able to use it with your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, respectively.
DRM Restrictions
Update: June 19, 7 p.m.
You know how when you 'buy' a Kindle book, you're more of a licensee than an owner? Console games are also entering the world of Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions, and there was fear that the Xbox One would follow suit.
As of this afternoon, however, Microsoft has completely reversed its gaming DRM restrictions for the Xbox One. Microsoft published the announcement, written by Microsoft's president of interactive media Don Mattrick, mon the Xbox website.
Microsoft will no longer require a 24-hour online check-in, allowing you to play offline games whenever you want, and without ever having to connect to the Internet again. Microsoft is also removing mandated DRM restrictions on game trading, so you can "play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360," wrote Mattrick. Downloaded games will not be able to be traded or shared, which is the same as it is now.
Now that DRM is basically a non-issue, the two systems are closer than ever.
The PlayStation 4 doesn't have the check-in requirements for its games, and Sony has promised its first-party games to be DRM-free, so you can trade them around like current console games. But the new PlayStation isn't DRM-free bliss, either. Sony has said it's up to third-party publishers to impose DRM restrictions.
For the moment, it seems unlikely that DRM restrictions will be the game-changer in the console war, at least not at first. According to Matthew Sakey, a games industry consultant and gaming expert, DRM may indeed prove to be a problem for next-gen system buyers but only after they've bought it. "I doubt it will be a deciding factor in deciding which--or whether--to purchase," he said.

The Creators Project: When did you form the band? Can you tell us a bit about its members?
Jang Kiha: Our band started in 2008, and we have produced a single album so far. The band consists of six members: I play the role of singer and a songwriter, sometimes playing an instrument. Our bassist is Jung Joon Hyuk, our guitarist is Lee Min Ki, and our drummer is Kim Hyun Ho. We also play with a team called the Mimi Sisters who are in charge of dancing, creating the atmosphere, and singing the choruses.
Were you involved in music before forming the Faces?
I was previously a drummer in many bands, but my own songs started to pile up, so I decided to create my own band with the people I've gotten to know during my career.
Your live show is really different from other Korean acts. How did you develop it?
Well, when we first made our band, the number one priority was obviously to make good songs. But for the audience, especially when an unknown band performs for the first time, they want something more fun and enjoyable. I think we just wanted to make everything more fun. In the early days, our band performed in small clubs, and since no other indie bands had dancers dancing while the lead singer sang, we thought we would try that. Enjoyment for the crowd was always the first thing in our minds.
What do you think about the indie rock scene in Korea?
The Korean indie scene, just like many other countries, features a wide selection of musical genres and produces great music. But we don't get the same kind of acknowledgement and recognition as in other places. Most of our fans are people who regularly attend our shows. The media industry plays a big role in music advertising, I do think it's improved compared to couple years ago.
What inspires your music?
First of all, I don't think I've made any music when I was feeling good. In fact, you don't need to make music when you're feeling good because you can just live your life then. But when you're feeling depressed, sad, or lonely, you create a situation that allows you to concentrate and think on your own. It is then that I am able to think up of melodies and lyrics.

The Problem with Store-Bought Energy Bars
An excerpt and recipe from Power Hungry: The Ultimate Energy Bar Cookbook
Editor's Note: This article was adapted from the first chapter of Camilla V. Saulsbury's 'Power Hungry: The Ultimate Energy Bar Cookbook.' For the next three weeks, we will feature a weekly DIY energy bar or gel recipe from her book, beginning with the Seeds of Power recipe, featured on page 3 of this article.
For so many of us runners, power bars have become a standard part of our diet: perfectly packable, portable, convenient energy before, during and after our runs. The shelves of every running store—as well as supermarket and convenience store—showcase the ever-expanding options (or, at least, the triumph of innovative packaging).
Despite the plethora of power bars on the market, something seemingly counter-intuitive is occurring: people are opting to make power bars at home and scouring the internet to find recipes for doing so.
Hence the conundrum: if daily life feels more time-crunched than ever, why on earth make homemade versions of a readily available convenience food?

Peppard: Our Top 10 30 Rock-isms
Last week's finale of 30 Rock left some of us screaming at the TV like Tracy Jordan: "Don't go Liz Lemon! There's still the after-, after-, after-, after-, after-party. I just gotta take my kids to soccer first."
While it was never a robust ratings success, 30 Rock permeated the vulgate and gave us wonderfully juvenile euphemisms that, thanks to syndication and home video, will be adopted by future generations.
In reverse order of cultural impact, we give you our Top 10 30 Rock-isms.
10. "The Interweb" and/or "the Intertubes." (Tracy Jordan's name for the Internet has been ironically adopted by bloggers everywhere.)
9. "Mind grapes" and/or "thoughtsicles" (First used by Jack Donaghy, mind grapes was promptly adopted by Tracy Jordan along with its synonym, thoughtsicles.)
8. "Shark farts!" (Rumored to be used by Tina Fey as a placeholder until they could loop in a better curse euphemism, shark farts, instead, made the final cut.)
7. "EGOT" (The term for entertainment's quadruple crown—Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony—was not invented by 30 Rock, nevertheless, the show took ownership of the acronym by using it as a verb, "Egotting.")
6. "I want to go to there." (First used by Tina Fey's toddler daughter, Alice, and co-opted for the episode, Reunion.)
5. "Dealbreaker." (Again, not a 30 Rock original, but the show gave it fresh currency.)
4. "What the what?" (Liz Lemon substitutes a W word for an F word.)
3. "Shut it down!" (Used universally by cast regulars and guest stars such as Peter Dinklage.)
2. "Blerg!" (Liz Lemon's catchall expletive.)
1. "That's not a thing." (Used by all cast members along with its inversion, "Is that a thing?")
Honorable mention to Jack Donaghy gived tuxedoed men everywhere their raison d'etre: "It's after 6. What am I, a farmer?"

Skip to comments.Liberal Actor Liam Neeson Says Hes Considering Dumping Catholicism, Converting To Islam
Posted on 01/25/2012 7:31:31 AM PST by Nachum
Every moonbats fantasy come true.
(Huffington Post) Irish actor Liam Neeson has revealed he is considering giving up on his Catholic faith and converting to Islam.
The Hollywood star, 59, was recently filming in Turkish city Istanbul and became fascinated with the muslim faith during his stay.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and its the most beautiful, beautiful thing.
(Excerpt) Read more at weaselzippers.us ...
You can't fix stupid. :(
"I am not a person with a healthy, functioning brain; I only play one in the movies" - Liam Neeson (or should be)
This scumbag just earned a boycott of all his works.
Only proves he knows nothing of either Catholicism or Islam.
Talk about the dark side.
Not to mention his wife dying last year after a skiing accident...........
Let's pray for this guy.
After the first week, what was left of his brain had become mush and he was ready to embrace his new found religion as an expert on it.
Ah yes, Vacation Theology - "Dude, I was vacationing in ______ and heard about (insert local belief or custom here) and totally wanted to learn more about it, man."
That "call to prayers" reference seems familiar somehow...
Well, if he abandons Catholicism, the Knights of Columbus won't come head hunting. If he decides to discard Islam, however, I hope he has a good place in mind to hide.
Yeah, until that whole, chop your head off stuff happens.
Washed-up actor desperate for publicity.
Our society in the West is actively discouraging spirituality and religious faith - that is true. I imagine Neeson's upbringing 50 years ago in Ireland was quite different from his world today. And he sees value in that, though the leftist in him won't let him understand why.
People like Neeson though don't scratch below the surface though to get real understanding. Its all surface for the credulous and simple-minded.
In the old days of Catholicism, there were church bells ringing at the different times of the day, calling people to pray, such as the Angelus, at noon.
Too bad the Catholic Church in Hollywood never touched his life in that daily, timeless way.
Ah...he and Bamster have this "love" in common.
Let the Muzzie's support your career, Liam.
Exactly. No time to kick him to the curb.
A weak mind is easily diverted to evil.
If he loved Istanbul, perhaps he should just visit Dearborn,MI and save the airfare $$?
Yup, he's got no core values, so he's trying to find some.
When he decides this new thing still isn't filling the void, wait until they explain to him the "FAQ" about quitting.
Mother of all "oops" moments.
He's an idiot.
So does that mean it will now be okay for him to oppose abortion and gay marriage?
When I was in Indonesia, I admit falling in love with the call to prayer. It is beautiful. It's beautiful because it is an open expression of devotion that is part of the fabric of daily public life.
We used to have Church bells here that played during the day before busy bodies got that quashed through noise ordinances.
As for him using this as an excuse to choose a religion it's own founder admits could easily have come from a demon as from God over Chritianity (Catholicism) is indeed nuts, but perhaps nuts borne out of grief.
He has a new movie coming out in a couple of days, The Grey. Looks interesting. I was thinking of seeing it.
Now, forget it. What a moron.
Some people deny their faith only at the point of a gun, or when there's a dull knife about to saw their head off. For others, less is required.
Hey. Liam, that's Satan getting into your soul because you're inviting him in.
What a lost soul.
May God help this man.
The "Calls to Prayer" are the means by which Imams compete with one another to gain members for their mosques. The basis of competition while I was working in Riyadh was actually comparative bloodthirstiness. For example,
Since all activity comes to halt during prayers, one can listen to the competing muezzins calling from their hi-tech minarets at about 3 million decibels. One popular appeal:
Now Turkey isn't KSA, but the way the lower orders are multiplying, it may soon be! In which case, Neeson, who has already been the victim of some very inept plastic surgery, may get a few more cuts.
Amen. This man is being tempted by the liberal belief that everything foreign is romantic and cool. Sad to say, most liberals refuse to see the dark side of anything that is wrong. They just warp what is good into something evil.
Well, him and obama have at least one thing in common. But, as far as what he does or does not do, who cares except for those who have no life of their own.

In an interview to Kristof of the New York Slimes, Barack Obama stated that the Muslim Call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
Agree. I'm sure this guy went through a horrible crisis of faith, and anyone that thinks they could survive such a loss under such conditions without challenges is lying to himself.
Go figure....he has to have been suffering greatly since his wife suddenly died. Islam's alluring lies have tempted him in his despair. I doubt his wife would have approved.

The difference is, Christianity will let you leave, without declaring a fatwah to have you brutally killed.
Just shows he's a cafeteria Catholic, totally ignorant of his faith, and probably hadn't been to Mass in years. Rational thinking Catholics don't become Muslims.
Maybe early stages of altiemers? He definitely aint knocking on all 8 cylinders.
Funny, when I was in Istanbul two summers ago, I didn't have the same reaction. My guide spent the day "quizzing" me on Christianity. He said that Muslims knew more about Christianity than Christians did - that we were ignorant and weak. Glad I paid attention in Sunday School and Bible Study so I could at least defend my faith with facts and logic. When he realized that I wasn't going to back down, He said, "first we ask you nicely to join us. Then we tax you. Then we kill you". The quote is verbatim. I can't imagine not wanting to be part of that!!! Needless to say, he didn't get a tip :-)

I just returned from a trip to Houston during which I met with a dynamic and diverse cross section of the Houston community over the course of two days. United Nations Day, which has been celebrated every October 24th since 1948, was the reason for my visit to Houston. It was only fitting that, on this 66th Anniversary, I travel to one of the United States' most multicultural, academic and business oriented cities to celebrate this important day. UN Day marks the anniversary of the date that the UN Charter entered into force in 1945; its creation represented the ambition of the nations of the world, who believed that by working through the UN, they could promote global peace and a common prosperity, advancing the mutual security of nations and the universal rights of all peoples.
A highlight of my visit to Houston was my attendance and participation in a United Nations Day reception and dinner hosted by the Houston Chapter of the United Nations Association of the USA, Rotary International, and the City of Houston. I had the pleasure of meeting over 150 members of the community, including the city's sizable consular corps, and making the case that U.S. leadership at the United Nations has never been more important. Some in Washington are intent on forcing U.S. retreat from that role, but a vast bipartisan majority of Americans disagree. Americans understand that addressing 21st century challenges, particularly the events and dynamics we have seen this year, in an effective and financially sound way will require continued U.S. leadership at the UN. In fact, U.S. leadership is most needed during this time of political transformation and economic concern.
During all of my other meetings I underscored the Obama Administrations opposition to attempts to use the UN as a venue for addressing final status issues, which must be decided in direct negotiations between the parties. Many of the community leaders and the students whom I met with have been watching global events unfold on the news and this was an issue that came up in all of my meetings.
I also had the opportunity to meet with the local chapter of the American Jewish Committee where I was able to further underscore that leadership at the UN also means defending our close ally, Israel, from efforts to delegitimize or isolate it. We must continue to lead globally and remain fully engaged at the UN in order to continue the hard work we have done to defend Israel across the UN system.
While in Houston, I visited two universities to discuss the important role multilateral diplomacy plays in advancing U.S. foreign policy goals. First, I visited the James A. Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University headed by Ambassador Edward Djerejian. I met with a group of students from the Baker Institute's student forum. I also had the opportunity to meet students and faculty at Texas Southern University to discuss some of the issues on which the Department of State is focused. It was truly rewarding to have the opportunity to answer some of the students' very tough questions and to encourage public service careers.
I ended my trip with a lunch discussion with members of Houston's Committee on Foreign Relations and the Council on Foreign Relations at which I stressed the importance of paying our dues on time and in full at the United Nations and its specialized agencies. I explained how President Obama's decision to pay our UN assessments in full has given us greater influence with our allies and partners on global issues. I pointed out that we are far more effective at achieving our policy goals at the UN when we have paid our dues in full and on time.
It was a pleasure to spend this UN Day in the bustling international city of Houston and to meet with Americans to explain how their diplomacy advances national security, economic prosperity and human rights globally.

I would like to offer Victoria Nuland an objective and constructive assesment of the "sticky wicket" the press corps was valiently muddling through towards some hopeful point of understanding US policy, in regards to UNESCO and Palestinian efforts to obtain recognition by the international community.
I understand the Dept of State is required by law to cut funding in this case to any UN org, and it seems to me that the Palestinians are smart enough to know that "Statehood" is a lot more than just being a full-fledged member of international fora such as UNESCO and other UN bodies.
Which makes me think that they are also smart enough to have read our law, and are doing their best to isolate us from the international community; via the loophole of vulnerability Congress has provided for their manipulation, and serving Hamas and Iran's interest in the process via a required cut in funding that would undermine US security interests world-wide, including the funding for the Tsunami warning system.
I would agree this action by the Palestiniasns exacerbates tensions, as the press seemed pretty frustrated by what it saw as the illogic of shooting American interests in the foot like that and risking angering friends and allies alike..."regrettably" may be an understatement.
Now since I don't expect a comment on this, my intent is simply that someone from State pose the possibility to themselves that things may not always be what they appear, and there's more than one item on the Palestinian's agenda.
I think it would be highly useful to extend them "probationary status w/ voting rights" within international fora - so long as negotiations with Israel were entered into in a serious manner continiously from 30 days after the day such compromise is made so and enacted in aproval of membership, or any and all such probationary priviledges are withdrawn within 60 days from the date of any walk-out on those critical negotiations.
If UNESCO and it's members want progress towards two-state solutions, I think this is a better way to get that process started frankly...and maybe the only way to make this a performance based policy without having to cut off funding, if Congress were to issue a provisional waiver.
Hope this helps...

Congress appropriated $4.5 billion to modernize the electric grid as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), of which over $2 billion has been
allocated to grants for advanced metering projects. At the state level, most utility filings before state regulators have tended to focus on the new metering investments and pricing programs, although there are some limited demonstration projects that are not linked to new metering systems. Given the state and federal emphasis on metering, this paper also focuses on the advanced or smart metering component of the Smart Grid vision.

I get so excited with these little sightings. I know it's silly but I just can't help it!ReplyDelete
Yey! He's back in LA! :))ReplyDelete
And ALL is right with the world!!ReplyDelete
of cause he is back, he lives in L.A. but that doesn't mean anything! Next week promo for BD starts, thats why, but people see what they want to see. It's not bad if they are not back together....ReplyDelete
Why such a downer? Let us be happy he's back in LA will ya?Delete
Poor you, where will you be 6 months from now when are STILL together and the PR excuse no longer applies.
Poor you...
...and, THEY ARE TOGETHER...
I really do not get why you come on here if you are negative about everything.Delete
chicas esa PR que quieredecir por tanto drama para las que somos fans de ellos pues somos felices por que aunque los dos esten en algun lugar porque tambien tien que hacer otras cosas y elos siempre se dansu espacio pero que viven juntos es cierto solo miren las caritas de los dos cuando seles toma fotos esque donde esten no importa la mente de ellos es del uno del otro porque asta hoy rob y kris estan previsto para verse en la peli saben que a summit le combien y noser capturados antes porquesino se hablaria de ellos antes del estreno y por eso es este despiste pero espero que ellos escojan lo mejor y que el mundo que los mira sea sin importancia que hagan su burbuja de amor .ReplyDelete
Rob is like a good wine the older he is the hotter he gets.ReplyDelete
I don't think rob and kristen are back together because he went to new york to spend time with his friends and she didn't go with him.when they were together she used to go with him besides she had nothing special to do except hanging out with her father.the media annouced that they were reconciling but there is no sign of that it has been a month and we have not seen them together. I think she keeps wearing his stuf because she is desperate to win him back but I don't think it's working.regarding their meetings I personaly think that it was because of the movie and the immage summit wants them to show.but again this is just my point of view I don't know everything but I hope that kristen will be able to win him back.ReplyDelete
Again. They dont need to be joined at the hip. You people over analyze everything. Geez.Delete
I'm betting they've been told not to be seen out together in public at the moment for their own safety! Or maybe they just don't feel comfortable going out knowing the media frenzy it will cause - not to mention the amount of haters who would claim their reconciliation is just a publicity stunt! If i were them i would be keeping my relationship totally private for now!Delete
thank you!!we don't know what are they do all the day!!!i'm agree whith you!!preaps she must stay in la whith bear !!one think whith robsten !!wait and see!!!we know nothing and i hope they happy together in LA ;i pray rob forgive her and their couple are stronger!!!Delete
Again.....you, I and the rest of the world know NOTHING!!!!!Delete
I totally agree with out, don't let them hate you for your oppinion. People were great to read between the lines when they were together how much they love each other etc. etc., but now? Yes, she used his clothes and thing but have you seen this things after this on him? No. She always went to Robs friends concerts, with him or alone with Tom, why wasn't she on Marcus or Sams and Bobbys concerts last week in Cali./LA? She could have gone with her father to one of those concerts, that would be a real proof without saying a word, but no. The year ends and we will see if they will spend christmas and the new years eve apart or together....
Please accept that there are true fans of noth of them but don't believe in their love anymore and there will be a lot of passionate fans who will be extremely disappoint, when the official break comes!
All of you need to relax and take a LONG breath. Just be positive and wish them well. It seems to me that their relationship and private lives is more valuable than your own lives. Everything will be ok and hey! you never know maybe they'll bring a little robsten baby to the world to make you all happy :0DReplyDelete
I pesonaly think that kristen didn't go to NY with rob simply because his friends think that he needs to carrefuly think about his future befoe making any decision.these are rob's friends so they will probably advise him to not take kris back as lainey said they are not in favour of a reconciliation, besides it will be awkward to hang out in public with the girl who humiliated you just 2 months ago.even if they are thinking to give their couple a second chance they won't start by going out together,they will probably start meeting in private and calling each other but it's too soon for P.D.A. there is also a picture of rob with a girl in a bar while his was in NY and some fans are claiming that his friends are convincing him to move on and get over kris.but it's another rumor in robsten ville.I really hope that during the promotion tour we will get a sign that shows us if they are back together or not.P.S this is just my point of view I'm not pretending to know any thing.no body does and this sucks.ReplyDelete
In my opinion I think R/K just need to move on no matter what's happened in the past. I don't know what the media wrote is true or fasle, but if Rob left Kristen because his friends said so, then I wondar how deep is his love for her? I think they have been best friends for the past few years and you can't erase or leave behind those sweet memories you shared together for one incident. I think R/K has already worked out their relationship, no matter what they've decided, I hope they could just keep going and don't look back.Delete
There are signs out there if you look hard enough. However this nonsense about a picture of Rob w/ a girl in a NYC bar is just funny. I saw the pic, I also saw it in May when it was taken and a larger version of that picture. It was Paul Giamatti's wife and Paul was also in the picture. So nice try to those who are claiming it is anything more. And as a person in a 12+ yr relationship I'd like to point out we don't need to be together 24/7 to still 'be together' I travel w/ friends and he travels for business and we don't necessarily go together. People need to stop freaking out when they travel w/o each other. If I had tickets to Florence I would stay home too! We will all have proof soon enough and when that happens I'll be celebrating and won't even bother saying I told you so :DReplyDelete
Would you happen to remember in which magazine/article/blog you saw that picture of Rob with Paul Giamatti and his wife? I sort of vaguely remember seeing it too but I was not really paying much attention at that time. Thanks.Delete
Here is the link to our post from Rob at a dinner w/ Paul and his wife. http://www.robstendreams.com/2012/05/new-pics-of-rob-having-dinner-with.html#.UHcB7sUpXSgDelete
OMG why are they negative/nonnies on here. Nobody used to have a problem with RK spending time apart but now its a big deal. If you can't handle the possibility of RK being together again, hush it we real fans don't wanna know, keep it to yourself, let us enjoy the fact that they are in the same city and take your hate elsewhere cause we clearly don't need. Does it kill you so much that they might be together. ROBSTEN IS UNBROKEN!! Its time to get over it!ReplyDelete
I've been quietly reading this blog for about a year and a half and rarely commented but I have to say something about this. Some of you commenters on here are very biased, if someone says robsten is together everybody praises that person and agrees but if someone states their opinion and they dont think they're together everyone bashes and says "we know nothing" and I agree we dont know a damn thing about their relationship at this point but to only say that to a person who states their opinion and who believe they arent together is wrong. If you say that to the negative person you should say it to the positive comments as well because we know nothing! I'm sure everyone wants them to be together but we dont know. So basically my point is don't favor one person opinion and hate anothers because they may be together or they may not. Okay my rant is overReplyDelete
I wish people would give him a brake! I think the girl in the picture is Sienna, Tom's girlfriend! It's too soon for Kristen to go with Rob and his friends, I also hope they are back together, I think it would be a good idea to be seen by fans somewhere!!! I hope they are not playing us for the sake of the movie!! It's scaring me to read everywhere they are back together and it seems it's coming from the same one place! I would surprise me a lot that Kristen would wear the ring and all of Rob's gift if they were broke up, that would get fans really really mad at her! I guess we will all know in time! lets keep our fingers cross!!
From Canada
I always find it funny how people think Rob's friends hate Kristen. They love her! As Tom said recently when asked a question about Kristen "I don't talk about my FRIENDS behind their backs." People also forget Sienna Miller was labeled a cheater as well when she got caught naked with a married man. Stop the madness people do have friends of the opposite sex. Idc who is in this picture, you can tell by the body language there is nothing there. He's having a great time & the media feeds off of fan reaction to see what story to make up that day.
Apparently the paparazzi missed the fan pic of Rob in LA, let them believe he's still in NY. Run all their damn gas out.
Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate <3

Skip to comments.Kerry Dumps Joe Wilson From Campaign Team
Posted on 07/27/2004 7:22:20 AM PDT by ConservativeMajority
WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Last week, the presidential campaign of Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) very publicly distanced itself from former National Security Advisor Samuel "Sandy" Berger after it became known that Berger was under investigation for removing highly classified documents from the National Archives.
Talon News reported that Kerry's anti-terror policy was removed from the candidate's web site immediately following Berger's dismissal as a campaign advisor. But in the last few days, another advisor has apparently been jettisoned from the Kerry campaign. All traces of former Ambassador Joe Wilson, the central figure in the controversy of faulty intelligence about Iraq and uranium has disappeared from the Kerry web site. Wilson had appeared on a web site www.restorehonesty.com where he restated his criticism of the Bush administration. The link now goes directly to the main page of www.johnkerry.com and no reference to Wilson can be found on the entire site.
Wilson was discredited by a Senate Intelligence Committee report that contradicted Wilson's public statements about how he was selected for a sensitive mission to Niger in 2002 and the results of his report about Saddam Hussein's attempt to purchase uranium in Africa. Wilson represented his investigation as proof that President Bush misled the United States in making the case for the invasion of Iraq. An investigation into British intelligence confirms that Bush's claim was "well founded."
It is likely that Kerry's handlers took advantage of the Berger affair to quietly break official contact with someone who has proved to be something of a loose cannon. The ambassador was known for his vitriolic rhetoric against members of the Bush administration, particularly political advisor Karl Rove. Last year he suggested that Rove be "frog-marched from the White House in handcuffs," over the alleged leak of his wife's identity.
The Kerry campaign did not respond to a Talon News inquiry about Wilson's departure.
Copyright © 2004 Talon News -- All rights reserved.
Another turd flushed. First blubberbutt theif Berger and now Wilson. Come Nov, there'll be another flush, Kerry/Leftwards swirling in the bowl.
Obviously, this is an attempt to bring Kerry to the center and into reality. He had two advisors that were radioactive...probably has more. I Wonder when Kerry will dump Teresa too.
Birds of a Feather flock together. Maybe that's why Bush has jumped to a 9 point lead. going to get a lot worse for the Evil Lying Dums.
Bye bye JOE!!!
Kerry's dropping his dead weight like maggots off a meat wagon - ping.
Too late! The damage is done.
Could be he is listening to somebody! For now anyway!
when some female with more $$$ comes along.
Too bad this won't get any real media coverage.
So Wilson's outed as a liar and all association with the Kerry campaign is removed and forgotten. Too bad no one is telling the sheeple. A thread yesterday mentioned the unbelievable coverage of Wilson's "Bush is a liar" story, but hardly a peep is heard exposing Wilson as the real liar in this affair.
You have to question the timing on this.
Looks like Mr. Wilson buys his tiny ties off the Boys' rack.
What's that in the air I smell .... FEAR???
hahahahahaha ... Later Joe!
One of the fundamental flaws among democrats is well illustrated here. Their conditions of loyalty are as thin on the front end as they are on the back side. Today's golden trophy whore willing to mouth off anything salatious becomes tommorrow's boat anchor. You would think that democrats might have begun to understand this phenomenon, but not yet? With all the aides Clinton piled up like cordwood during a cold winter, becoming a democrat loyalist is a bit like masochism, if not suicide.
Can't wait to see bench.
Kerry and Edwards are the bowls, or shall we say johns. We might be making a mistake flushing them so early and often. Maybe we should have left Berger and Wilson in the bowls a little longer to stink up and stain the joint. You know it takes a lot longer to clean a really dirty toilet than a cleaner one. Come November it might have been nicer to have the democratic bathroom a mess.
We've gotten many requests for a transcript of Ambassador Joe Wilson's chat this morning. He provided some dramatic insights into the workings of the Bush Administration, and talked about his feelings about having his wife's CIA identify exposed by the as yet unidentified senior White House aides. For more information about Joe Wilson, see www.restorehonesty.com.
NOTE: This is an unedited transcript recorded live, October 29, 2003 at www.johnkerry.com
Chatmaster2 (Oct 29, 2003 10:56:59 AM)
Ambassador Wilson, my sister and I are ardent fans of yours and wish youd throw your hat into the ring. My questions, all related, are: how do we get a special prosecutor involved in the case involving your wife? Obviously, Ashcroft cant be allowed to investigatetalk about the fox guarding the henhouse!! Is bushs statement that he doesnt know whether the leaker will ever be found the end of the issue? Does anyone here believe that if he really wanted to find who leaked your wifes name, he couldnt? A crime has been committedin the name of revenge and intimidation! Is nothing going to happen? HELP!!!!
*** Joe Wilson (Oct 29, 2003 10:57:41 AM)
Thanks very much. For right now, I am most interested in seeing that we get John Kerry elected as the next President so we can get our destiny back on track.
Translation: No more shall we hear the dulcet tones of Sandy singing; "A Little song; A little dance; A few more papers down my pants".

Now it's there.
DNC CONvention
The scum and slimes descending,
On Old Boston town.
Smells like bloated rotting fish,
With them all around.
Bill and Hill and Al Gore too,
Jimmy Carters there.
Sandy Berger should show up,
Watch you files with care.
Ted Kennedy is belching,
Or is that his speech.
Hillary announces Bill,
With her famous screech.
Howard Dean will scream out loud,
Really draws a crowd.
Al Gore will bring his lock box,
Hell be shouting loud.
John Kerry and John Edwards,
Are the central theme.
Biggest libs to ever run,
This is one bad dream.
John will bring his Purple Hearts,
Bought so long ago.
Edwards will just stand and smile,
Nothing else to show.
Me, Ill keep the TV off,
I dont need their spew.
They arent selling what Id buy,
Hope thats true for you.

" I Wonder when Kerry will dump Teresa too."
After seeing her at the ballgame and on the "shove it" video, she strikes me as a potential loose cannon.
She dosen't need Kerry. She can have her pick of men that she would settle for and is obscencely wealthy. In public it appears she has some handlers, which could be a problem for her as she is used to speaking her mind and doing what she wants.
If Kerry challenges her for sticking her foot in her mouth on an issue it could very well be the straw that breaks the Camel's back in their relationship.
Wouldn't it be funny to see Theraaaaazah bitch slap Kerry in public?!
Nancy Pelosi for supreme court?
LOL! Well said. I'd like to see Team Bush pound the Sandy Berger issue until it bleeds. Eight years of treasonous crap (Los Alamos, Lee, etc) under Klinton needs to be shown again and again to the public to remind them of how dumb the libs are in Nat Sec issues.
I did so much for Kerry and the democrats, I made up that story that there were no contacts between Iraq and Niger and they took it to the bank. I was so happy, when they said "Bush Lied". Now look at what they are doing to me and my friend Sandy Berger. After all that we have done for them! Ingrates!
The bottom line here is, Kerry had total access to intelligence that would tell him that Wilson was lying. Kerry chose to go ahead, knowing that Bush was being falsely accused. What does this say about hKerry's future judgment?
You might call them "Suicide Bumblers."
If this had been anything to do with a Republican, the media would have issued this as a statement concerning the removal of the links:
"There is no doubt that the timing of this is politically motivated."
It's not from any site. I got it in an email from a friend.
The picture was taken on Route 38 in Racine County, Wisconsin. It is in someone's front yard & has a spotlight on it at night!
I would too but after a couple of days of Fox only coverage they would be talking to themselves in a empty room. The media doesn't care what crimes democrats commit.
LOL your poem says it all!
If you can;t see the photo....try putting this URL in your browser:
I like it
It finally popped up. Glad you liked the poem.
I think a wheel just fell off the John-john bandwagon. heheh
May I share your poem with my cyberfriends?
Sure. I wrote this one today about another Kerry supporter.
Hey.....you are a talented poet.....and up 'till now I didn't know it... ;)
Do you also post at 'Amy's Place'?
There is no female with more $$$. That's why Kerry supports Gay Marriage. Gotta broaden the field...
Yes. Several Just amy links on my profile page.
When in history can one find a man running for President with so much lying scum around him yet the media looks the other way.....? Moore, Clarke,Berger and now Wilson......Come on America! WAKE~UP.
I guess someone on the campaign is not all that stupid. He really should of done it 3-4 months ago. So who's the NEW and IMPROVED Intelligence advisor, Teresa Heinz Kerry?
dang, good point.
he could also go bigamist with the olsen twins.
Thanks this good news was reported on Free Republic last week.
The Kerrorist Nerds working at the Komrade Kerry Kamp have had a lot of sleepless nights last and this week.
They have been deleting files and links as those files and links are exposed as treason and pure lies like the Wilson link, which was financed by the new KKKers, (Komrad Kerry Kerrorists).

great .. i got dave agreeing with me .. now i'm screwed!!!!!!!
haha .. kidding
Also, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the first serious effort to ban slavery in America started in 1777. So, these men were completely aware of the disparity between American idealism and the reality.
Just because someone is a poor representative of an idea, doesn't make the idea false. If that were the case then you would just have to look at one Christian to be able to discredit all of Christianity.
2) Erm...news for you, Nathan...I think you find the British Slave Trade was slightly older then the American version, and that those traits which carried over into the American Slave Trade were nothing but a copy of their British counterparts. Now the British certainly believed that Africans were sub-human, and whilst it ended up being a skin colour issue...it didnt begin that way, because the British system, was, and later returned to, its Roman Heratage, which indescriminate of skin tone, considered largely everything outside of itself Barbarous, and therefore not civilized, and therefore, not proper humans. Most of North Europe, Africa, and the Orient, fell under this description...infact, what a horrible suprise it must have been when the Visigoths actually besieged Rome at one point.
So the ideal of slavery had nothing to do with Darwin, and the use of Slaves for anything other then private ownership was something invented by the British to run the Empire...and the American South was based on that system..So I beg to differ that Darwin had anything to do with it. This was well before Enlightenment Philosophies...and if you bother to note what a good proportion of the American Civil War was really all about, you will find that those in the south, whilst fully in compliance with the Constitution and DOI would not extend such privalage to slaves...I'm sorry but you cant claim that those land barons thought of their workers as some kind of Servants.
the blacks in the south were not Servants. There is a huge difference. Servants have rights, Servants are primarily free, Servants are primarily in servitude voluntarily. Slaves are owned. Slaves have no rights. Slaves are property and commodity, like livestock on a farm, like a herd of buffallo, or cattle. They do not have any freedom, save that given by whoever owns them.
3) Well, that IS true...but then, since when do you take seriously, the thoughts of those who are poor representatives? Would you take moral lessons from a hypocrit? Even if those moral lessons were true...and we despute that these are true in the first place when it comes to what you presume is "GOD-Given Rights"
I dont believe there is any such thing as Human Rights in terms of the absolute nature of Truth, only what man perscribes to man, in accordance with its culture, and according to its relative chronology and zeitgiest...after all...in Europe...as often inspired by Americans...they have gone mad with this ideal of "Human rights" to the extent that they cant even deport foreign convicted criminals, because apparently they have the right to "a family life" which would be ruined by returning them from whence they came...and how about the prison sufferegets, who believe that prisoners should be allowed to vote in general ellections, because everyone has the right to exercise their democratic right to vote...all of these, so the European Court of Human Rights would have us believe are "GOD-Given" aswell.
What a load of bollox
I think your logic here is flawed. Just because a few people abuse the concept of human rights doesn't make the concept itself false.
As Christians we understand that everything we have is given to us by GOD. From the breath in our lungs to the food in our bellies, even our life itself.
So, GOD grants life. No one claiming to be a Christian can deny that.
Liberty. A person's natural desire is for freedom. Of course that desire gets corrupted because we are sinful, so liberty in this sense is NOT the freedom to pursue immoral or evil desires. It's the freedom to pursue the desires that GOD has placed in each and every one of our hearts. This is something that is a bit more difficult for non-Christians to understand, but it should be another no-brainer for Christians.
This is also where the two greatest commandments come into play: love GOD above all else and treat others the way you would like to be treated. If you keep those two commandments, then you can never abuse your liberty. The Founding Fathers understood this and it's why they warned us that the great American experiment would fail if our country abandoned the Christian values that we were founded upon.
The pursuit of happiness is simply the drive to live our lives according to the unique design that GOD has given each and every one of us. For some that might be raising a family, for others it might be art or music, still others might have a bent towards animal husbandry or farming. The list goes on and people can even have combinations of multiple GOD-given desires.
Governments can only infringe upon those basic rights and they do that with rigor, all the time. Even America itself has become corrupted to the point where American citizens don't even understand what this country was founded upon. Some of those people end up in the government and they might even end up in the highest seats of government (like the Presidency for example).
So, it's an ideal that America was founded upon; but that doesn't mean that we are always the best representatives of that ideal.
GOD GRANTS lots of things...just like Matt Hughes might Grant an interview...does it mean that the receptor has a "Right" to that?
NO...What GOD gives is discretionary....a GIFT...you have NO rights under a Supreme Monarchy...The reason you probably dont understand that is the fundemental problem here.
Who do you think GOD is? and where exactly do you think YOU fit in to the food chain. You've been in the Military, this should be a no-brainer! You dont have "Rights" except those given to you by Authority...England, for Centuries was runned by a Supreme Monarch, in EXACTLY the way Martial Law in the military works.
2) You have no degree in sociology I presume, or you would know that people do not always seek freedom. They usually are satisfied with whatever they are used to, and some people, are naturally submissive and would find the idea of "Freedom" as horrifying as an agrophobic person being pushed outside.
We have drives to survive, and instincts...but the only Spiritual desire we have is to seek for purpose, meaning and to understand ourselves...that is because we were made as a half, with GOD providing fulfilment...and that is why we search.
Give freedom to a people who are not, and never have been democratic, and you end up endagenering the whole geographic location. Give someone who has been locked up fourty years, complete freedom, and they will probably struggle to cope to do anything.
People can be trained, Nathan, to accept all kinds of things...Again, having been in the military, I am shocked by your responces above.
3) The persuit of happiness, and a Vocational Calling, are NOT the same...infact I can give you Biblical Examples, of what a load of bollox that is. Shall we start with Moses and his response, when GOD gave him his calling. infact, its more likely you will be called in a place well outside of your comfort zone.
That has the duel purpose of stopping one taking too much pride in ones own achievements, when really, one knows that it is only the strength of GOD that allows them to do something which they, themselves, are NOT good at.
I tell you what...Proove it too me....Back up each of your Rights with a passage of Scripture, and I'll consider your POV in more depth. oh yes...Nathan...YOU taught me well
i have to agree with dave .. as long as i have been on this site, i have been told that if it isn't in scripture, it isn't biblical .. nate, you said somewhere up ^^^^ that the founding fathers used the bible to determine what was just, but you didnt know the verses .... the term "god given right" is thrown around a lot, especially for gun rights .. LOL ... i have no problem with someone saying, we have a right to bear arms given to us by the founding fathers of this country .. but saying god given without backing it up gives it no merit ...
People don't join the military because they hate freedom and like to be dominated. That's idiotic. American citizens join the military because they love freedom and understand that it's worth temporarily putting their own personal freedoms on hold in order to defend freedom for all other Americans.
I'll get around to responding to the rest of your comments later.
Someone in that position has NO rights. Not the right to free will, not the right to choose. They...more then any other denomination would denounce the ideals of any Rights period.
2) I think you miss understood me Nathan...I was actually talking about two different things...the Military as Heirachical....and dominance and submission...NOT Dominance and submission within the Military Heirachy.
One was to demonstrate to you YOUR position UNDER God...and One was to Demonstrate that your original premise about everyone wanting to be free is not a universal.
If you bothered to read my post...you would see...they arent even in the same numbered return. I cant wait to hear the rest of your responses..along I hope with your scriptural points to back up your argument...but in your own time Nathan
GOD is sovereign, no one claiming to be a Christian can deny that. The Bible is also clear that love for GOD, faith and salvation are not possible if human beings are left to their own devices. In our natural state, we are haters of GOD and everything that GOD stands for. So that part is true.
However, understanding that we must be submissive to GOD is completely unrelated to being submissive to human governments. In fact, more often than not, human governments require their citizens to participate in actions that are a direct violation of GOD's law. In those cases, the government becomes a barrier between people and GOD and submission to those types of governments becomes a sin.
I personally hate using the term "Calvinism" because the 5 points of Calvinism predate John Calvin, the Church and even the New Testament. They can be found throughout the Bible, going all the way back to Genesis.
However, many Calvinists were instrumental in the formation of the United States and they absolutely did not denounce the idea of human rights. In fact, the US federal government was actually based on the structure of the Presbyterian church (a Calvinist denomination). In it's early days it was referred to as a "presbyterian government."
Finally, the truth of GOD's sovereignty does not mean that human rights don't exist. That's 100% false and not even a logical conclusion to draw; so I'm not really sure how you are coming up with that.
So, you should take the time to really examine what other people believe and not just assume that you can guess what they believe based on your own incomplete understanding of the topic.
Since silence on the internet is often falsely interpreted as surrender or submission, some people like to prematurely claim victory in a topic just because the person holding the opposing viewpoint doesn't instantly respond. However, if you really want a thoughtful, intelligent debate, then you can't fault people for taking the time to research and contemplate their responses.

[Chattanooga, Tenn.] A series of drought years in the 1990s sparked the North Georgia-based carpet industry to turn its attention to conservation efforts. What started as a way to save water soon morphed into efforts at conservation of resources on a much broader scale.
The efforts ultimately spread throughout the entire flooring industry and touched every aspect of flooring product manufacturing and installation. Even natural product like wood and ceramic tile are doing their part to recycle, reuse and reduce waste, conserving important resources.
In the early 1990s, CEO's like Mac Bridger at Collins & Aikman (later Tandus, now part of Tarkett) began to dream of and create ways to turn carpet first into parking stops, picnic tables and bird houses but ultimately back into carpet. CEO Ray Anderson at Interface woke up to the effect manufacturing was having on the planet and decided to wage a personal crusade to change things.
At the same time, pressure for change was mounting from other directions — especially from commercial architects, specifiers and designers. The U.S. Green Building Council was formed in 1993 specifically to transform the way commercial buildings were built. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) came into being in March of 2000 and has been driving product choice and design ever since.
In 2002, the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) was born when the industry and several states signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that they would work toward diverting carpet from America's landfills. In the decade since, CARE has seen great progress toward diverting carpet from landfill as well as markets and uses for the carpet that would otherwise be tossed. CARE has tallied 2.6 billion pounds of carpet kept out of landfills since it's founding.
Individual companies as well have embarked on programs to reduce, recycle, reuse, renew and in many cases revamp processes or procedures that have negative environmental impact. Companies from the largest to the smallest are embracing environmental initiatives. It's no longer an option; it's become a culture.
Shaw Industries was on the forefront of conservation efforts in the early 1990s and has a long list of accomplishments to its credit, including the Evergreen Recycling facility in Augusta, Ga. that reclaims carpet and produces virgin fiber. Shaw reclaimed and recycled 109.5 million pounds in 2012, and since 2005 it has recycled 600 million pounds of postconsumer carpet. On average, 80 percent of the carpet Shaw reclaims is recycled into new carpet.
"Shaw's approach to waste is simple: try not to create it in the first place," said Paul Murray, vice president of sustainability and environmental affairs. "And when it is created, find the best option for reusing, recycling or otherwise diverting it from landfill."
Recycling was in fact the reason Armstrong came into being over 100 years ago. Thomas Armstrong, founder, was looking for a solution to the waste generated from manufacturing cork bottle caps, according to Amy Costello, senior environmental scientist, Armstrong. "This quest led to the use of waste cork in insulation, ceiling tiles and linoleum," Costello said. Armstrong has a take-back program for recycling ceiling tiles that's been around for 15 years and more recently started one for VCT. Total to date reclaimed: 17.8 million square feet of ceiling and floor tiles in 2012.
Mohawk Industries embarked on sustainability in the beginning to conserve water and later energy. Today the company has a full-blown environmental program that covers every aspect. In the last year, for example, seven of the company's manufacturing sites have eliminated all manufacturing waste to landfill, according to Jenny Cross, global sustainability director. "Conservation takes hard work and attention to detail," Cross said. The employees found the materials, segregated them and found new homes for those waste streams. "The result is empowered associates running a more efficient process at a lower cost. Win-win-win," Cross said.
The efforts have not just changed the industry; they have changed the companies. "Mannington's reduce, reuse and recycle efforts have helped us focus on continual improvement," explained Dave Kitt's vice president, environmental. "They've helped us increase our production efficiencies. They have allowed us to better connect with our workforce, who in turn are doing the same thing in their personal lives. They have also allowed us to better connect with our customers, who consider the 3 Rs an important focus for companies they do business with," Kitts added.
Tarkett and its family of flooring brands have a global approach to environmental sustainability. Diane Martel, vice president of environmental planning and strategy, told FCW that many manufacturers have instituted recycle reuse programs much like Tarkett's ReUse/ReStart. "Most plants today are trying to lower their waste and are recycling as much as possible. I think the progress is slow but real; let's see where the future will take us," Martel said.
What's ahead
So are we satisfied as an industry? "I hesitate to say I'm satisfied because that implies that we have finished," Mohawk's Cross said. "Sustainability is an ongoing journey that has no endpoint, but I am pleased with our progress to date." Mohawk has set goals of 25 percent reduction in energy, water, waste-to-landfill and GHG intensity by 2020.
Shaw is looking to the future with some ambitious goals by 2030: reduce energy intensity by 40 percent, reduce waste to landfills by 100 percent and reduce water intensity by 50 percent among them.
"Satisfied is an intriguing term," Mannington's Kitts said. "It's a topic where improvement and success can be celebrated, but also where we know there is always so much more improvement to make."
Tarkett's Martel said that she sees a big push for indoor air quality over the next five years. "Tarkett has put a great emphasis on lowering emissions from products." Building efficiencies are raising the bar in indoor air quality, which affects product design and selection. "There is a quest for good materials safe for the environment and human health. "It will push companies to become more transparent; reassuring the market that the products used will promote the well-being of people in spaces."
Ahead, Kitts said he hopes to see changes in certifications. "For the good of our industry and others, I'd like to see a reduction, or at least a leveling of desired/required third party verifications. (Those) have grown from a cottage industry to huge business. It's fundamentally costing our industry duplicative and often unnecessary dollars."
"The flooring industry is a recognized as leader in sustainability," Cross added. "With as much as we've done, flooring still has its challenges and there will be more in the future. Scarce or threatened resources, water intensity, reclamation and many opportunities face the industry going forward. I do believe that we can build on our strong history and meet the challenges ahead."

David Akers (1975/88): This is another unappreciated issue. It is only marginally less rare than the 1912 overall (the distinction between this issue and the 1912, 1909, 1910 and 1911 is really very slight) but in gem condition (MS-65 or better) it is just as rare, i.e. extremely difficult to locate. As with the 1912. a few superb (MS-67) quality examples are known but I do not know of any that have traded hands in recent years.
The 1913 is generally well struck with decidedly above average lustre for the series, certainly more lustre than the typical 1911 or 1912 has for example. As with almost all of the Indian Head $2.5 and $5 issues, the surfaces are somewhat granular as a rule. Color is usually a light to medium yellow gold as on the 1909 and 1910.

The Manor House Hotel & The Ashbury Hotel
AA Quality Standards Report
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded 3 stars!
Following our continued efforts during 2015 to improve our hotels and maintain our high level of service and hospitality, we recently had our AA quality inspection and are pleased to announce that we were awarded 3 stars at both hotels.
The inspection entails an undercover AA inspector taking a night's stay in our hotels. They then rate our hospitality, service and food, amongst many other standards, and award a score as a measure of our overall performance.
We must state, that as part of these assessments there is no section that takes into account the unrivalled sports, craft, leisure and spa facilities we proudly offer. We therefore are only marked on our hotel standards which include service, cleanliness, bedrooms, public areas and food, amongst others. Nevertheless, we received a very positive report and below are some of the comments made by the AA inspector:
Cleanliness – "very good levels on cleanliness throughout"
Service & Hospitality – "very good check-in" along with "Polite and professional service throughout"
Food – "All meals prepared with a good level of skill/care/presentation"
Easy Access Information
Wet Rooms
We currently have 12 wet rooms at the Manor and 4 at Ashbury. All of these rooms are suitable for wheelchair users and have a full shower room with no steps, a seat and grab rail in the shower, and bars and rails for the toilet. Due to such high demand for these rooms, we are in the process of converting more bathrooms into wet rooms.
Walk-In Showers
We also have a number of exceptionally well fitted walk in showers with a seat and grab rails. Whilst not suitable for wheelchair users, due to a small step into the shower, they are ideal for guests with limited mobility.
Ground Floor Rooms
We are currently in the process of adding grab rails to all of our ground floor rooms making them more suitable for guests who just need a little more help and support getting around the bathroom and into the bath/shower.
Mobility Scooters
For the ease of guests with limited mobility we have 8 mobility scooters available for hire - please book prior to arrival.
On arrival at the hotel we ask for a £10 returnable cash deposit plus the following hire charges:
2 Nights - £5
3 or 4 Nights - £8
5 Nights or more - £10
Easy Access Pool Ramp
We are delighted to announce the development of our Manor Pool to include an Easy Access Ramp to allow those with mobility difficulties the ability to enjoy a range of hydro activities including pool walking.
