Great location, but still quite far from all the major attractions. The apartment is supertiny and was even too small for two small girls. We had troubles with wi-fi, and maitenance team reacted right away, which is good. We had troubles with water draining, but noone helped us.
We had a great time in London, thanks especially to this accomodation!
We were 4 people, but the apartment is a good accomodation also for 4, using the double bed sofa.
The apartment is very well located, it takes maximum 10 minutes on foot to reach the Underground Swiss Cottage and the main Street Finchley to take the bus.
The facilities in the apartment are good, even if it would have been great to have more toilet paper and things to wash dishes.
The bad note is that we had to pay 20 £ for late check-in, even if our delay was due to problems with our flight.
It's a nice small flat in a really nice area of London. Bus stops, tube stations, supermarkets and some restaurants are nearby. We really enjoyed our stay in London!
The flat was clean and tidy and the location was quite good, underground ten minute walk. I do think however this flat is more suited to longer stays than just a weeks holiday. The only thing in the room was 2 towels and a bathmat, no tea towel for dishes, no way to dry washing other than backs of chairs. Couldn't get internet to work, after 3 days and 2 phone calls we were given the correct password. The bed was very budget
The only thing that made me give a 2-star review was the proximity of the flat to the train station.
So, this property is basically a one big house, and the rooms we're made into "flats".
When I arrived, you can notice that odour from the flat that won't go away even if you spray air freshener.
The bed is too old and the mattress was not balanced that it gave me back ache!
The TV channels are VERY few and the signal is VERY poor.
One time the heating and hot water went off!
And for the price I paid I would expect the electric bill to be included but unfortunately not! We have to top up our electric bill!
And lastly, we can hear the footsteps of the occupant on top of our room all the time!
Stayed 5 night's with our two kids in this studio in a quiet residential area near Swiss Cottage. There is an Italian eatery on the ground floor of the building and a winebar next to it. There is a cleaner next door in case one needs washing. 50 metres away there is a cafe where one gets everything needed for breakfast. Swiss Cottage Subway and buses are ca. 500 metres away.
The apartment is a studio with a sofabed which was fine for the kids. Enough space to store clothes, etc., kitchen is equipped okay. It was clean and cozy compared to normal english standard. For the price and location absolutely recommendable!
We arrived in the appartment and had to find our way through a bunch of rubbish in the garden. In the hall and stairway were a couple of bicycles parked in a moist envirement where it was hard to breath. Finally in our room we found a dirty bathroom with a mould curtain. Rusty blinds, a dirty sofabed and a rusty toaster, a rusty microwave and one little towel a person. In the kitchen there were no facilities to do the dishes. In one quilt we found a large bloodstain.
After i made a Call to the agency to complain we got extra towels and a cleaning lady came to vacuüm, clean and change the curtain in the bathroom. We stayed because we didn't want to lose more time but i could not recommend this appartment to anyone! The appartment was located in a bad neighbourhood. The only positive point was the distance to the metro station.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
This is the second time i have stayed at this place and in the same room !. I am likely to return to this place again and again. Access to buses and shops is excellent. Sam
This apartment was so so.
The pictures look much nicer than the apartment itself.
The curtains haven seen a washing machine for a very long time.
The window was broken, I called (appears to be just a call centre lady trained to keep clients calm but isn't really helpful) but nothing was done.
You have to organise almost everything you need yourself: no kitchen towels for example.
The DVD player in the TV didn't work. Wifi was ok.
The walls are very thin, you hear EVERYTHING that happens in the house.
There were workers in the house renovating one of the apartments above and one day we didn't even have water. I called again and again no one was there to help. I had to ask the workers myself if they yould turn on the water again for at least an hour to take a shower and use the toilet.
All in all it offered a minimum of everything ... so only rent it if you're willing to deal with the things I mentioned above.

My head hits the wall
Don't know why this is happening to me
A role model for me in this world
"do as i say and not as i do"
Another slap across my face
Just to show me that you care
How can I fucking love you?
What love do you have to share?
Someday there's gonna be hell to pay
For treating your son this way
You can't take my dignity
Without destroying your love for me
And you wonder why I hate your fucking guts
No time left for apologies
Fuck you
Grown apart from you
I'm told that I am stupid
You taught me all I know
That I'm so fucking worthless
And that my lives a joke
Curled up in a ball
Is how I spent my fucking life
I tremble in fear and I'm bloody
And I can't stop the tears from flooding my eyes
What have I done to deserve
The agony you call love
I got a broken arm and stitches
While other kids got kisses and hugs
Love / abuse
Ever since I was born
I get them confused
You never cared
You never will
When I die
Don't come to my funeral

The debate over the death penalty offers a vivid illustration of a tragic flaw in the market of ideas: Strong beliefs attract a lot more attention, and can have a lot more influence, than the truth.
In recent years, five U.S. states have eliminated capital punishment, and several others are currently reconsidering their policies. Advocates of the death penalty insist the moves will lead to more murders. They point to a number of studies conducted over the past couple of decades that purport to find clear evidence supporting their view. Experts happily serve up unequivocal congressional testimony, and feed their analyses to lobby groups.
The reality, unsatisfying and inconvenient as it may be, is that we simply don't know how capital punishment affects the homicide rate. That's the conclusion of the National Academy of Sciences, which typically plays the role of impartial arbiter in these social-science debates. Their expert panel recently concluded that existing research "is not informative about whether capital punishment decreases, increases, or has no effect on homicide rates," and that such studies "should not influence policy judgments about capital punishment."

I saw a girl the other day
I was a big fan of the original 'Splosion Man. Rarely have I seen that level of quantity and quality united under such a low price tag, and to a fair degree Ms. Splosion Man offers the same bang for your buck. But it also lacks the polished level design and originality of its predecessor, which makes for a game that doesn't always give back as much as you put into it.
For the most part Ms. Splosion Man is more 'Splosion Man. This is a high octane 2D platformer with tight controls, one that's at its best when you're constantly moving forward and hitting your cues with crackerjack timing. That emphasis on timing and precision is what made 'Splosion Man great, and Ms. Splosion Man is able to replicate this for the most part. It also has the same knack for taking simple mechanics and carrying them a long way. For a game where all you can do is run and jump there's a lot of variety packed in here, and most of it is pretty neat. Ms. Splosion Man is also chock full of Twisted Pixel's patented humor and charm, with hilarious original songs and FMV work scattered throughout. The game can rely a little too heavily on this stuff here and there, and the titular main character's constant pop culture references end up repeating way too often, but overall this stuff is great. The game also looks noticeably better than 'Splosion Man, but it comes at a price. There are many moments where the background is a little too busy and colorful, making it easy to lose sight of your character, or even what exactly is happening on the screen. It can be kind of distracting.
Ultimately though, 'Splosion Man worked so well due to its fantastic level design. Ms. Splosion Man matches it at times, but there are too many instances where distances and timings feel off. For example, it might be clear that you're supposed to launch from one barrel to another, but the first barrel's explosion will send you flying too far past your target. These kinds of scenarios are commonplace, and I felt like I was frequently fighting with the levels to try and get where they wanted me to go, which wasn't always where they were actually sending me. It came off feeling kind of sloppy, ultimately making it much more frustrating than a game as demanding as this should be. The camera also does a pretty poor job at highlighting where you should be looking, and checkpoints are often placed just far enough apart to make every segment exponentially more tedious. It just goes to show the fine line even the best games must walk- a few seemingly minor changes can make a world of difference, and in this case it leads to a game that doesn't feel like it's worth the effort quite often enough.
Ms. Splosion Man made me realize that I don't necessarily need more 'Splosion Man anytime soon, especially if the level designs are less than perfect. It's by no means a bad game, but also feels like a hastily pieced together level pack as much as anything else. If you have $10 lying around and are looking for a sizable amount of demanding platforming action, then Ms. Splosion Man is certainly a worthy purchase. Just be prepared to experience your fair share of headaches along the way.

I may be missing something, and if so, I hope someone here can help me out. I've got a 4.5 installation, updated to FP2. I have my clients installed and am configuring them (particularly CE monitors at this point). However, I'm finding that there are a lot of counters that aren't available to monitor.
As a specific example, the P8 4.x/5.x monitor guide gives a list of the CE PCH counters at the end. One set of counters are USER/<Object Store>/Database. In this counter you get various database operation events, such as select, delete, update (the only 3 I've ever seen in the Settings Browser) and some others. Additionally you see duration counters, such as select/Duration.
The problem is, the only Database counters I see are the events select, update, and delete. I have connected to the exact same system using the Dashboard and I can see everything the documentation says I should, but the Settings Browser doesn't show it. I have even tried setting up a listener monitor where I put in the path manually and it comes back with uptime and status, but no results for the actual parameter/counter being checked.
Even worse is that the only value returned by USER/<Object Store>/Database/select is the running total, so for example, 160432 in our test environment. Again, according to the Dashboard the PCH contains not only the running total, but the number of queries in 15 minute intervals as well as the duration of the queries run (min/max/avg, I believe). Either of the latter 2 would be quite useful as I can establish a baseline of max query duration or max queries in a 15 minute interval. Total queries run since the Object Store came online is pretty much useless for performance monitoring.
Has anyone else run into this? Is it a known issue with FSM that I didn't find in the release notes? Does anyone have a fix for it? Am I missing something obvious with FSM that is default in the Dashboard install (literally gave Dashboard server name and port and it was happy)? I appreciate any help that can be given.

What do you give this years Steeler Draft picks?
What do you give this years Steeler Draft picks?
- Zachintosh66 (SCM 1135)
2013 Record: 7-1. (TW 27-6 Rams) (TW 28-0 Raptors) (TW 33-12 Thunder) (TW 7-21 Seminoles) (TW 39-32 Cougars) (TW 23-15 Stealth) (TW 58-8 Force) (TW 31-28 Fury)
We addressed alot of needs, No safety but all round good draft. Got some OL love, McFadden came home, and good young depth at LB. The Wr's will also add depth and competition. Not to mention ST finally got some new meat that could help out.
James Harrison - "Right now, you know, some people may want to jump on the Steelers bandwagon.
Don't do that. We don't need you. We didn't need you at the beginning, we don't need you now."
Gave it a "B", think it was a really good draft, but we passed on a few players i would have liked, hence no "A"
However much you think you know about football, rest assured that Skip Bayless knows more!
To early to grade....
never too early to grade.
gave last years an F back then, if i had to regrade now id give it a C- just for mike wallace
this year at first glance i say A, thats how happy i am
I hate how people on TV are questioning 3 OLB's. I think they did it for depth and special teams which are both areas I felt needed addressed.
When your only OLB backup is your starting ILB or Bailey you have to do something, I think they went after Worilds on purpose and then Gibson fell in our lap. The other LB they are expecting to move inside. I loved the draft and gave it an A
If they listen to the team end of draft videos they'll understand. I give them a B for the draft and getting BMac back. There are some things I might have done different but like they say Hind sight is 20/20.
I might of went for Cody in round 2 or Tate but understand that they wanted Sanders for his play at WR and special teams.
After watching the videos on steelers.com I came away with a better understaning of why they did what the did.
2 OLBs and an ILB...Worilds has a ton of potential but will be a project for a few years and Thaddeus Gibson is an absolute tank...Stevenson Sylvester will be an ILB and is pretty quick and tackles real well...I dont know if he'll make the team but it wasnt a bad pick...

Tips and Tricks: Use the corkscrew on your Swiss Army Knife to undo stubborn knots
The Swiss Army knife corkscrew has long been maligned as a useless wilderness tool (unless you're a wine drinker of course), but it's actually great for undoing stubborn knots. It easily weaves into a tight knot after which it can be used to gently pull it apart as shown:
(click to enlarge)
Ok, so you're convinced the corkscrew has worth, but you'd still like to have a phillips head screwdriver on your Swiss Army knife (which the corkscrew replaces). No problem, just use the Swiss Army can opener for phillips screws:
(click to enlarge)
You'll now have the best of both worlds, and can even enjoy an occasional bottle of wine during your wilderness excursions!

Swiss army knives have a multitude of good tools to use and i sure plan on picking one up. I actually surprised that I don't already have one.

Have you seen the new low cost leatherman wings from home depot they are crap compare to a Swiss army tinker which cost less. For the price SAK are a great value and last forever.

From the moment of his appointment, Brinson wanted to develop the practice and appreciation of the arts, especially in places where they are most neglected: in remote areas, among ill-endowed communities, in schools where they had hardly penetrated. He seemed to see himself as an "animateur" in places where animation was greatly lacking. Above all, he looked for new ideas to break the old artistic and cultural moulds; and he was prepared to gamble on the gleam in a suppliant's eye rather than on evidence which would satisfy a cautious executive.
The word got around quickly and he was soon besieged by people with ideas for promoting this kind of community activity, this way of breaking the from-top-to-bottom model of communication in the arts or broadcasting or education. He moved restlessly all the time. He quartered the country, the continent, much of the globe in his search for new ideas and new people - and more often than not came back with a new enthusiasm or two. Many people, many aspects of the work he encouraged and many parts of the country have cause to be grateful for Peter Brinson's encouraging irruption into their lives.
Brinson thought it deeply wrong that the practice (not simply the critical study) of the visual and performing arts should find so little space in universities and polytechnics. He was not an academic himself but he respected the best academic practice as he saw it: he simply wanted academics to recognise that their institutions were running on only three cylinders if they neglected the arts.
So he spent many hours over a considerable number of years helping the Council for National Academic Awards devise courses on Movement and Dance; he worked with Surrey University on its extensive plans for Drama; he proposed to Goldsmiths' College that it undertake a large study on the Economic Situation of the Visual Artist - and, typically, funded that protracted work generously and uncomplainingly. Perhaps most striking of all, he initiated, financed and ran an impressive international seminar on the arts and society. The setting, a new university, was bleak; he took the chill away at the start by placing a bottle of sherry in each of the participants' rooms.

Aduana Ruins in Intramuros
Ok, I admit that old buildings & ruins interest me much more as sketching subjects than most examples of modern architecture. Some of my favorite subjects to draw may include any of the following: chipped paint, mould, broken & rusting objects and sense of disorder.
I had been eyeing the ruins of the Aduana Customs House in Intramuros for almost 2 months; it's a classic example of ruins - a 135-year old stone building, destroyed in turn by the bombings of Manila in 1945, a fire in 1979, and due to general neglect since. And it's slightly out of the main tourist belt of Intramuros, so many people probably miss it.
I had to sketch my view of the interior looking through the gated windows - it's guarded & closed to the public, to keep squatters out. Looking in at the array of mouldy, scorched arches and cracked & chipped stone beams exposed to the sky gave me a thrill, and a sense of the history of this place!
The old rusting cement mixer sitting amongst the weeds & broken cement was an added bonus to the sketch.
3 comments:
I love sketching and drawing ruins as well, even taking pictures of them. Although it's a shame they fell into disrepair, ruins always conjure up such vivid stories in my head. I suppose when things are falling apart your mind is forced to imagine what the original structure might have been like and to populate it with the people who live there, making the experience much more"interactive".

press 2 or to send the caller to voicemail press 3
The transfer feature only does a blind transfer and there is currently a bug when transferring to outside telephone
We want to create an agi script in asterisk that allows a call routed to a persons cell phone or home phone
to stay in the loop with asterisk until the call is accepted and confirmed.
The scenario would go like this:
Caller calls a DID
The rule for that DID routes to a sub-menu
The rules for that sub-menu excute find me follow me which is then routed to a cell- phone or land line phone.
When the called party answers they hear:
You have an incoming call for {DID dialed Name} call for {Sub-Menu Name} from {Caller-ID digits}
To ACCEPT the call press 1
To TRANSFER the call press 2 > (If this option is selected user the has the option)
To do an Attended Transfer press 1, To do a Blind Transfer press 2
To SEND THE CALLER TO VOICEMAIL press 3 or
To PUT THE CALLER ON HOLD press 4 > putting the caller on hold keeps the caller on hold with music; to retrieve the held call; the called party simply presses ##
The TRANSFER can be to an extension or to an outside number.
Typically on a transferred call it is a blind transferred and dropped no longer in the asterisk system
but this call needs to stay within asterisk in order to utilize the functions.
We are aware that with Asterisk extensions.conf- in Dial if you give "tT" as argument, asterisk will always be in the loop
so both the parties can exercise in-call features.
To be considered for this job please explain the best possible way to achieve this feature using agi scripting or macros

Excellent floor mats

I bought a set of Weather Tech mats for my wife's new Ford Explorer and then bought the Broadfeet for my car for less money. She now wants me to get her a set of Broadfeet mats for her car! The weather Tech mats always look messy in the winter time and are slippery compared to the Broadfeet. Great product folks!

Western naval forces in the Gulf provide some defence but the GCC countries feel this is not enough to guarantee their long-term security. They want Iraq to accept the UN-brokered border agreement with Kuwait, and Iran to give up three strategic islands claimed by the UAE.
The Gulf countries have their own border disputes - which have snowballed into armed clashes at least twice in the last decade or so - but these will be firmly stamped on at the summit in the interests of presenting a united front to the world.
A border conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and continued for five years is the fighting over the enclave of Nagorny Karabakh between separatist ethnic Armenians and the surrounding Azeris. Azeri and Armenian leaders, including Karabakh representatives, meet in the Aland Isles of Finland tomorrow to try to resolve the dispute. The meeting, which was orchestrated by the Russians, follows a string of failed ceasefires.
The government and opposition of Romania are expected to stage rival ceremonies to mark tomorrow's official anniversary of the December 1989 revolution which overthrew Nicolae Ceausescu. The authorities will doubtless try to keep things in order during the visit to Bucharest today and tomorrow of the Russian Defence Minister, Pavel Grachev, who is to sign a military co-operation treaty and meet President Ion Iliescu and the Prime Minister, Nicolae Vacaroiu. Hardline Communists will make a pilgrimage to Ceausescu's grave on Saturday, Christmas Day, the fourth anniversary of his execution.
Also on Saturday, the verdict will be announced in Kuwait in the trial of 11 Iraqis and three Kuwaitis accused of plotting to kill George Bush.
The UN Secretary-General, Boutros-Boutros Ghali, visits South Korea for the first time from Wednesday until Friday for consultations on North Korea's nuclear installations and South Korea's participation in UN activities. He arrives in Peking on Sunday, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mao Tse-tung. In celebrations at Mao's birthplace in Hunan province, a five-times larger than life statue of the Great Helmsman will be unveiled.
A hemisphere away in Peru, the Maoist Sendero Luminoso guerrillas plan to launch a 'strategic offensive' in their hero's honour.

Sometimes when critics pan a film, the people behind the grouse about it in interviews. Sometimes they accept the criticism with more graciousness, as director Eric England did in The Dissolve's comment boards when Mike D'Angelo gave the film a mixed review. But this week sees one of the more baffling/hilarious reactions to negative reviews in quite some time.
Someone claiming to be the sound mixer of "Get On Up" (which would make him Greg P. Russell, unless he's one of the other people who worked on sound on the film) hasn't taken too kindly to those who didn't go for the movie, and he's published a few comments on the boards of their respective web sites. It all started innocuously enough with comments on the Oscar prognostication site Rope of Silicon, where, writing as "Filmix," he argued that Chadwick Boseman belonged in the predicted final five nominees alongside the likes of Michael Keaton ("Birdman"), Steve Carell ("Foxcatcher") and Timothy Spall ("Mr. Turner").

So...(do I begin everything with Soooo!!?) I have challenged myself to blog everything I make before I post pics on facebook...and also to go and comment on at least 10 blogs in a week...more is better....
I feel no one reads blogs these days....its the world of just "Liking" everything and leaving everything else unsaid. I realized that just "likes" don't boost the confidence of a crafter...its the little comments at the end of the post that mean the most....Sure it will take effort on my part...but I'm going to blog more...encourage others to blog more....its more than just sharing your creations...its about sharing who you are and where your creativity comes from!!
Phew...I wanted to say these words since soo long...laziness came in between...not anymore!!
This Photo Display Stand is made from a tutorial from Marla at Lake Avenue Designs..check here for the complete tutorial.. No ribbons, no butterflies, no flowers and no laces... would that make it easy or hard....!! You decide!
I have changed a few things.... My pages measure 6 inches across instead of 5 in the tutorial...I wanted more space...And I made my own base to keep it standing...pics to follow..
This is how the Album will stand...I adore the sentiments....They are from Technique Tuesday..Incredible...I love Ali Edwards beautiful handwriting fonts!! The main happy birthday is a file from Silhouette store...and the background shape..Couture Creation die from IB Store...Cupcake from PTI
So each page flips over to reveal a photo under it...
Here's the first flip....I've kept the embellishments, the extra nonsense to a minimum...bcoz I wanted the pictures to be the highlight of the album... not my supplies or my dies!
And this is where the arrow points too..I wanted a cheeky way of saying the sentiment, but hiding the main word at the same time!! I don't know if that makes sense to you!
I loved creating this page...cutting the letters out with my new toy...Silhouette Cameo!! It is awesome!! I mainly wanted it for the titles...I used to get fed up of not having the perfect font dies or the time I would waste in cutting individual alphabets one after the other....This baby is so worth if only I ever cut out alphas all my life!! :p
This photo was so adorable, that it needed its own Polaroid frame...so this frame is handcut! yes..I do use the scissors now and then!! :p
Stamps from Lawn fawn..my silly Valentine....Stars from MFT- Stackable stars
Again embellishments to a minium....the photographs speak a thousand words...and I wanted them to be the focus... The Say Cheese is again cut from the Silhouette Cameo... The red Tabs are MFT bracket die...the are small pullouts for secret messages (wink wink!)
And the last back page....
I wanted something cute and whimsical on the last page...this is the back page. The banner is a SC cut file.. Stars again MFT...bike is a Lawn fawn stamp - Cruising through life.
This is where I made my own changes....The tutorial had a ribbon stand...I made it my own way....
I made this stand and this is how the album will stand.... if you need a tutorial...leave a comment..and I will make one for you...
So this is how the whole album came about...In 3 days...its a record of sorts for me!! :D
Any queries about any supplies or for making it...leave a question with your email...I can't answer if your email isn't connected to your blogger account!
See you with more backlog posts!!

A stipple ceiling texture, also called a slapbrush texture, involves working wet joint compound with a stipple brush. Stippling creates a random design that hides minor ceiling flaws and imperfections. The stipple texture also provides an attractive ceiling finish. The stippling process is not difficult; with a little practice, even a novice can create professional-looking results.
Although a stipple texture will hide minor flaws, it will not disguise major imperfections. Larger flaws, such as uneven drywall seams, will remain visible under the texture. Before applying a stipple texture, repair the ceiling as necessary to get it as flat and smooth as possible. New drywall will need a base coat of ceiling paint. Although the stippling process coats the drywall, the base coat will prevent the joint compound used in the process from drying too quickly. Make sure you have enough of the same joint compound on hand to complete the job. Varying brands of joint compound may have different colors when they dry.
Stippling requires a technique called "pouncing." This means that rather than moving the stippling brush side-to-side, you push the bristle ends into the surface. This causes the bristles to spread out in a circular pattern. Practice the technique on a piece of scrap drywall or plywood before starting on the ceiling. Coat the scrap material with a layer of thinned joint compound. Apply a coat of the thinned joint compound to the stipple brush bristles, and then begin pouncing the stipple brush onto the test board. If you don't use enough pressure, the stipple brush will load with joint compound and produce an uneven surface. If you pounce too hard, you risk damaging the integrity of the finished drywall. Overlap the edges of the stipple pattern to avoid untextured spots in the ceiling. If using a double stipple brush, avoid noticeable patterns by rotating the brushes ½ turn between pounces.
Cover the top 8 inches of the wall around the ceiling with painter's tape and newspaper. Cover the floors and furniture with drop cloths. Move the furniture out of the room if possible. Although experienced drywall finishers can work from floor level using a stippling brush attached to a pole, you may feel more comfortable working from a ladder. Thin the joint compound with water to get it loose and manageable. Use a paddle attachment with a power drill to stir the joint compound, adding a little water at a time, until it is the consistency of pancake batter.
Use a heavy-nap roller to paint the ceiling with thinned joint compound. Work in sections of 6 feet by 6 feet. Roll the joint compound on in one direction, and then roll it again across the grain of the first application. Keep the roller loaded with joint compound. Before using the stipple brush, use the roller to wet it with drywall compound. Once you begin using the stipple brush you do not need to reload the brush. Work quickly while the drywall compound on the ceiling is wet. Pounce the stipple brush firmly into the drywall compound and pull it away quickly. Repeat the process until the entire section has a stipple texture, and then repeat the process with the next ceiling section. It is a matter of personal preference whether to paint the finished ceiling. If you choose to paint it, wait several days before painting to ensure the joint compound and the underlying drywall are completely dry.

This is the Hollywood Reporter coverage of Sunday night's (1/19/14) Texas reproductive rights fundraiser at Largo in Los Angeles (CA).
"A Night of a Thousand Vaginas," a one-night-only show featuring Silverman, Galifianakis and a cast of other comedians, is set to raise $20,000 for groups helping women obtain abortions in the Lone Star State.
Reproductive rights are no laughing matter, but fundraising on their behalf can be, as a clutch of comedians — led by Sarah Silverman and Zach Galifianakis — showed when they sold out Largo at the Coronet for "A Night of A Thousand Vaginas," a benefit for the Texas Abortion Fund.
The fund is part of a nationwide network, "A is For," that supports state-by-state campaigns against legislative restrictions on reproductive rights, and the proceeds from Sunday's benefit went directly to the Lone Star state's Whole Women's Health Fund, Lilith Fund, Fund Texas Women, and TEA Fund.
Silverman, Galifianakis and a cast other comedians performed Sunday evening under tight security as half a dozen anti-abortion protestors picketed outside the La Cienega Blvd. theater.
The event's organizers — actresses Martha Plimpton and Sarah Thyre — were still tallying the proceeds on Monday from the capacity crowd that paid up to $100 per ticket to see the two-hour show. With donations still coming in via the Internet, Plimpton said she expects the total amount raised to reach $20,000.
In addition to show's stand-up routines, the Sunday event also featured an impromptu auction for a Phillis Diller white feather hat. The comedian's signature headpiece fetched $750 after a spirited bidding war between Masters of Sex actor Michael Sheen and Raising Hope showrunner Mike Mariano. Although Mariano won the hat, Sheen kicked in $750 in matching funds.
Silverman, meanwhile, arrived on stage wearing a red t-shirt printed with the words: "I stand with Texas women," and proclaimed, "Our rights are being chipped away at," which set the evening's tone.
Other participants included: Retta, Laura Kightlinger, Josh Homme, Steve Agee, Jen Kirkman, Tiffany Haddish and Andy Richter.
The event's performers and organizers found themselves pilloried across the conservative blogosphere and radio frequencies over the weekend. As the progressive Texas Observer pointed out on its own blog, even before Sunday's evening curtain rose, some of the state's Republican officeholders were using the benefit to do some fundraising of their own.
Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, for example, sent out an appeal urging his donors to "stand with me today and stop Hollywood from its destructive liberal behavior." According to Dewhurst, "Hollywood believes so strongly in ending innocent life, that it's using jokes to raise money to fund abortions…. It's disturbing that people who don't even reside in Texas feel the need to change our laws, and use comedy as a way to raise money for a medical procedure that can deeply harm the health of a woman, not to mention end an innocent life."
Glenn Beck complained to his radio listeners that, "What this is really about is changing the culture in Texas. They are doing everything they can – the progressives — to center in on Texas. If they get Texas, we are done… What do you think immigration reform is for? Why do you think they wanted to make sure that everybody can vote without any kind of ID whatsoever? It is because if you can flip Texas, you are finished. Why do you think we have been saying, 'Move to Texas'?"
Advocates for reproductive rights, of course, take a different view, pointing out that their ability to raise money in support of their cause inside Texas is severely constrained by the fact that most of those effected by the state's restrictive abortion statutes are women from poor or working class households.

Social Question
Am I wrong to be upset/angry about this?
Asked by Supacase (14513)
November 23rd, 2010
My husband has been trying to get me to arrange for us to go out of town for a weekend since September. I finally worked everything out so that we would have the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is perfect b/c he has Friday off so it gives us a long weekend to boot.
Apparently his brother turning 30 trumps this. As of today, I have found out that we are going to dinner Friday night and then he is planning an out of town fishing trip for Saturday and Sunday.
Let me also mention that his brother is the type who floats in and out of our lives at his whim.
My husband said my attitude about this isn't helping anything – just annoying him and pissing him off. I am angry and I am hurt.

Hip-hop culture is as much about clothing style as it is about music or lyrics. Often it's about making a statement, whether dressing sharp or in a head-turning fashion. It seems that most rappers, at some point in their careers, decide to dress ridiculously in some way, shape or form. As the hilarious Tumblr Magical Rappers points out, an unintentional trend (or so we hope) has emerged with hip-hop artists trying to cast their own spells.
Everyone from Afrika Bambaataa to Andre 3000 has attempted a career in the dark arts. While some surprisingly make magic work, most of these artists should probably stick to making music. See our favorites below.

Looks like all that LEGO isn't going into space after all, at least not today. NASA has announced that it has scrubbed today's Space Shuttle Endeavour launch"because of an issue associated with Auxiliary Power Unit 1 heaters." Engineers will assess the issue, but NASA warns that the process will take at least 48-hours and likely more.
According to NASA Spaceflight, the APU issue is only the latest in a number of issues to plague the shuttle on this, its final flight. Issues observed during fuel tank filing and problems with the fuel cells were observed, together with pressure issues in the right tank.
NASA had been working on interconnecting the crossfeed lines between the two tanks, so as to try to equalize the pressure, when the APU problem was caught and the launch cancelled. NASA intends to hold a press conference later today to further detail the scrapped flight.

"The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination."
Can there ever be a "perfect" venture or decision?
Too little thought leads to rash decisions. Too much, inaction. The trick is to strike the right balance.
How do you do that?
Ahhh, striking the right balance... Some are quite successful in getting it right. Maybe it's a gut decision, maybe emotional, some might attribute it to luck; but, I think it's innate--maybe the way some brains are wired. Some just seem to be able to process all the information/options quickly and then go for it. Isn't this what Malcolm Gladwell was describing in Blink?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger, I was prone to more rash decision making than is the case today. On balance, more good than bad decisions but some of the bad ones were legendary.
Today, more than in the past I realize before I act that I need to think things through before making my decision. The result is often a different decision than I would have made had I not considered things further.
However there still are a few where I just can't resist and as KM said, simply "go for it."
Which is better? Beats me but just as some are morning versus evening people, right versus left brain people, I am more of a act versus react person and doubt I could change that even if I wanted to.

You've got to be kidding! Sometimes its good to be in the middle of nowhere Dano's Here 2007 Tungsten on Black GT500 2005 F-150 XLT S-Cab Troyer Tuned
My Parents bought their gt500 in october of last year, for 5k over. But thats in CT where you cant run these cars for more than 6 monthes. so we got very lucky.
$5K over invoice I guy at work just bought one for $5K over invoice here in Michigan (Detroit metro area). I agree with others that with a lot of 2008's coming that the prices will be at MSRP soon, and in a year probably a little below. I think another factor that will take the curent luster off the Shelby GT500 pricing bubble will be the introduction of the new King of the Road edition and the Super Snake. I spent a little time with Mike Eble last night, the head Ford engineer in charge of the Shelby's, and he thought that the prices will be coming down soon, also. I think I will wait a year before getting serious about getting one.
i got mine for 10k over...i would not have paided any more than that, even if it is the best thing i have ever owned
Paid 5k over for a low serial # 2008 GT-500,$1300 in modifications and the KOR will not hang.Nothing done for suspension yet but 550 rwhp is very nice!!!
My name is Hector. I work at Sunrise Ford and we just got a 08 GT500 Shelby cobra. It's 46K with a 10K markup. If you guys need a hook up with this one or any other ford vehicle just let me know. my email is [email protected]

I think it completely depends on the style. JCPenney catalog carries plus size maternity, even in the elusive tall and petite ranges. Some of their knit pants are only large in the stomach area--and don't have that glaring maternity panel to announce that it is "maternity" clothing. This garment could really work for some women who aren't pregnant. But the panel absolutely forces you to wear something that is extra long in front to cover it up or else it looks just awful. Sometimes the panel isn't even the same color as the garment.
I think most people would find that there aren't enough items to pick from in plus-size maternity. Most of their shopping would have to be done online, too. There is also the consideration that maternity is increasingly available in "fashion forward" styles, and it might be too young of a look for an older plus size woman. Finally, plus size women can have a variety of distributions of their body fat--and maternity wear really only addresses a protruding belly. It's no help at all if you carry excessive weight in your arms, thighs, rear, etc.
One of our relatives had an intestinal condition that caused extreme abdominal bloating, and had to use maternity pants in order to cope with it. However she didn't like to wear maternity and as soon as she had the right treatment, got rid of her maternity pants. But she was a lot older, and I know there was a stigma for her that it wasn't really correct for her to use these clothes.
Posted by: Celeste | Jul 11, 2006 12:01:12 PMI have a friend who wears maternity tops all the time. In fact, one time we were in a maternity store together and we asked if a lot of women who aren't pregnant buy their clothes and they said yes.
Posted by: SkinnyMinnie | Jul 11, 2006 12:05:37 PMThey're not just for women... my husband has joked about borrowing my Belly Band (to help pregnant women wear regular jeans and pants) for Thanksgiving in case he eats too much!
Posted by: Winona | Jul 11, 2006 12:32:36 PMSkinny women never understand fat women. We don't just have fat bellies, and it is nothing like being pregnant. Some of us even have *gasp* waists we like to accentuate!
Posted by: Ann | Jul 11, 2006 1:02:44 PMI don't know if it's just me, but I wish stores would move the plus size department away from the maternity department. It always makes me feel like they're saying, "You're so fat, you look pregnant."
Posted by: lia | Jul 11, 2006 1:43:02 PMI went through this dilemma last year. I kept having to buy bigger pants due to rapid weight gain, and was getting really frustrated. As all the weight gain was in the belly, the bigger sized pants made the rest of me look really stupid! Feeling incredibly frustrated, I finally caved and started shopping for maternity pants. (Try finding tall, plus-sized maternity clothes. It was a painful experience, even online.) When I did find maternity clothes that fit, it was heavenly.
Of course, as I found out shortly thereafter, I was pregnant. So I can attest to the fact that clothes fit VERY different when you're pregnant than when you're "just fat". But I can see why some larger women would buy maternity clothes - they actually have room to move in!
Posted by: Angela | Jul 11, 2006 2:07:03 PMOne of these days, plus size clothing manufacturers will realize that, although we are big women, we carry our weight differently. I'm pear-shaped myself. I often have to shop in two different sections of a store to find anything. Plus sizes for pants and Misses for tops. It's a nightmare buying a dress or swimsuit.
The maternity idea just wouldn't work for me.
Posted by: Julie | Jul 11, 2006 2:16:07 PMWhen i was PG with my first, and not quite ready for maternity clothes I wore PLUS size clothes for a few months. plus afterward i wore the PLUS size clothes--didn't want to wear those maternity clothes again! But that was 14 years ago and maternity outfits still had a lot of pink/blue & bows. ugh!
Posted by: Susan | Jul 11, 2006 2:33:53 PMINSTEAD OF A DEBATE WHERE TO SHOP, WHY CAN'T OVERWEIGHT WOMEN MAKE A DECISION TO GET HEALTHY AND LOSE THE WEIGHT.
I have another problem. While most of America got bigger, I went on a diet and got back to my early marriage weight. I'm not skinny, but not fat either. While I used to wear a 4 or 6, I'm now at 0 or 2, depending on fit. So, where do I go from here? I'm finding girls size 14 fit just fine, but I'm 64.
I recently read that the average size of American women is 14 now. Are the manufacturers going to adjust their sizing again to make the average a 12 as they did a few years ago? And where will that leave us petites who are right on target with BMI?
One of my favorite shirts I found on the rack in a juniors department (Michael Star is the brand). It's green and the bottom of the shirt kind of "bells" out along with the sleeves which are 3/4 length. Only after I tried it on and bought it that I look at the tag and saw it was maternity (had been misplaced in the store!). I'm a petite person (5' 120 lbs) but it still looks stylish and NOT maternity at all. I still have the shirt!
Posted by: efb | Jul 11, 2006 3:44:37 PMFirst, Ruth Ann, if it was so easy to "make a decision to get healthy and lose the weight" do you think there'd be an epidemic of overweight people in this country? It isn't that simple, and please stop shouting.
Second, I wouldn't shop in the maternity section only because I don't want to look pregnant every single day of my life. I need clothes that help accentuate the positives and mask the negatives. Maternity clothes don't do that, because when you're pregnant, you're not trying to mask the baby belly. Designers need to realize that there are short fat women and tall fat women...and stop designing all their clothing for Amazon tall people.
Posted by: Pattie | Jul 11, 2006 3:58:05 PMI think fat people should spend more time in the gym than debating whether they should wear plus size or maternity clothes. Most importantly I think women who are 5'2" and 300 lbs should not dress like they weigh 110 lbs.
Posted by: KJ | Jul 11, 2006 4:04:25 PMEmpire waist tops are very stylish right now, and some of the cutest empire waist tops can be found in maternity departments!
Posted by: Julie H. | Jul 11, 2006 4:08:06 PMNever bought maternity clothes. No cute ones in the Upper Penninsula. Just plus size.
Posted by: Gee | Jul 11, 2006 4:36:10 PMOver one-third of the American population is obese meaning people are weighing more than 20% of the recommended body weight for their height. This scary statistic refers to not just women but children and men also. I think as soon as we all work together and stop disecting arguments on apparel into two teams: the skinny and the fat, we, as a country will find the resolution to our health conundrums. I wanted to congratulate the women who wrote on how she dropped down dramatically in size. I wish to remind her though that some people are obese due to genetics, chemical imbalances, and poverty. I think compassion is something us women need to redevelop in order to make it through the "weight" wars.
Posted by: Linda | Jul 11, 2006 4:41:32 PMJC Penneys has segregated their really small plus size department to the lower level at their Woodfield store next to the pajamas and housecoats. It's insulting because it makes you feel like they don't want plus size women shopping in their store. I think you are fooling yourself if you think someone will not notice that your top is a pregnancy top because they are shaped different so I don't go near those racks.
Posted by: Colleen | Jul 11, 2006 4:49:42 PMMargaret, nobody wants to hear a skinny woman bitch about not finding clothes. Unless you've ever been plus-sized, then you will have no clue what we go through. And yes, once upon a time I was very skinny too. And I can tell you first-hand that shopping for smaller sizes that fit is a million times easier than shopping for well-made larger sizes that fit.
Posted by: Janet | Jul 11, 2006 5:06:37 PMWhile Ruth Ann & KJ may have valid points, the question must be asked: while I can loose weight easily in the fairy world they live in, would be they be as willing to have a lobotomy in my world? Just wondering......
Posted by: NOG | Jul 11, 2006 5:22:23 PMAs someone who is due with her second child in about 4 weeks, I am not sure why bigger women think maternity clothes are more comfortable or fit better. In many ways the clothing are cut narrower than plus-size clothing and have expectation that the weight gain will mainly be in the stomach. We may think that pregnant women are excuse of thinking about body image for nine months, but in many ways they are under as much scrutiny. If you look at the numerous magazines, layouts, not too mention the "baby boom" of Hollywood, there is a perfect image of the pregnant woman. Small arms, hips, legs, no stretch marks, and a perfectly round unobstrusive abdomen. Maternity clothiers don't account for body type prior to pregnancy, just the "ideal" after. There are many clothiers for bigger women who make some beautiful clothes.(check out Forth and Towne) I wear a sixteen myself (I was a fourteen before my first was born.....you got to love how the hips spread) and I've had a hard time finding clothing that fit well. At this point I am sick of wearing maternity clothing. I'm ready to splurge at Forth and Towne in the fall and spring.
Posted by: cheryl | Jul 11, 2006 5:59:37 PMPersonally, I don't want to wear maternity clothes instead of Plus-size clothes. Maternity clothes are shaped differently. They focus on the abdominal area of the woman. Not all Plus-size women have abdominal fat. The two styles of clothing are nothing alike. I am not pregnant, and I do not not want to look that way. Maternity clothes scream "Hey look at me, I am pregnant". Whatever!! I wish the maternity clothes, and the Plus-size clothes were on opposite ends of the store. You know what, forget that. I will just shop at stores that specialize in clothing for Plus-size women. When I become pregnant, then I will go to the maternity store.
Posted by: MrsJeter | Jul 11, 2006 6:37:18 PMI think maternity clothes are just fine for all women. Why do we have to put such labels on clothes? I have a couple of very nice sun dresses that just happen to be maternity dresses.
I struggle to find clothes that fit properly. In some designers I wear a 14, in others I wear a 10. I don't understand why a standard similar to men's clothing can't be established. I never buy online becuase I need to see the garment to know if it will fit.
Posted by: Alisa | Jul 11, 2006 7:15:09 PMHey, large ladies - why are we bothering to explain and supplicate ourselves to the likes of Ruth Ann and KJ and their ilk (which means a judgemental 90% of the rest of the universe)? They don't now, and never will grasp our ups, downs,reasons or rationale. Nor do they aspire to understand or cultivate a compassion. They may enjoy flaunting those little bodies at us, but we're bigger than they are - so I say, let's either get 'em, or forget 'em! Time for us to focus on she who really counts, be honest with ourselves, do what's best for us, and rise above the ignorance. Large or small, women should be supporting each other - we're still buying into trashing each other to boost our flagging egos. Perhaps we larger ladies must set the standard of respect for all women. Only then will we begin to rise above the deleterious effects of negative body image.
Posted by: Goddess | Jul 11, 2006 8:16:01 PMI lost 80 lbs on diet and exercise (cause my new job made me travel and I hated the fear in people's eyes as I approached an airline seat.) But I now fit consistently into size 4 pants, though I still weigh 20 lbs more than I did in my 20's at a size 10/12 and my BMI says I'm overweight. So obviously the clothing industry is playing a few games with us.
Posted by: Ellen H | Jul 11, 2006 10:09:55 PMThis whole issue is ridiculously offensive, and I can't believe it's taking up space in a major newspaper. Maternity clothes are for pregnant women, who are not shaped like plus-sized women. Is this really news?

Steaks on the grill at the Iowa 'Steak Fry' on Sunday. Courtesy: CNN's Mike Roselli
INDIANOLA, Iowa (CNN) - Sunday marks the 30th annual Harkin Steak Fry, a fundraiser for Iowa's Democratic Senator Tom Harkin, who said he expects between 8,000 and 10,000 people to show up. This year, the cash all goes to Harkin's upcoming re-election bid.
But on the eve of the big event CNN caught up with the senator to ask him why they call it a "fry" if the steaks are cooked on a grill.
"You don't fry it. These are grilled steaks, and I dont know the answer to that question," Harkin said Saturday at the University of Iowa/Iowa State University football game in Ames. "Somewhere way back someone dubbed it a steak fry and it stuck and nobody can ever remember why that name ever came in to being but we still call it a steak fry."
As far as the current crop of Democrats goes, Harkin said anything can still happen.
"To put it in sports analogy, its a jump ball. For the Democrats, there are three that are kind of bunched up together. That's Clinton, Obama and Edwards, and then you have all the others behind them. But you add everybody up I mean you still only got 50-60 percent of the caucus-goers."
But he added that he'd like to see someone do something big.
"I always like to see things new, and I like to have them kind of make some news with something, but you never know. I think there will be a lot of attention placed on this."

Kerry condemned comments from Rep. John Boehner.
(CNN)–In the same week that partisan debate has raged over an ad Moveon.org published regarding General David Petraeus, the top American military commander in Iraq, Senator John Kerry says people should be equally outraged by comments this week from House Minority Leader John Boehner.
In an interview with Boehner this past Wednesday, CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Boehner how much longer U.S. taxpayers would have to endure the cost of the war, as well the loss of American soldiers. "We need to continue our effort here," the Republican from Ohio said, "because long term the investment that we're making today will be a small price if we're able to stop Al Qaeda here, if we're able to stabilize the Middle East."
Kerry seized on those comments before reporters following his appearance Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' "The Republicans seem very quick to jump on that [Moveon.org ad] and many of us have expressed our disapproval of it," the Democrat from Massachusetts said. "But they completely avoid the comments of Representative John Boehner who says that for our troops dying in Iraq is a small price to pay for what we might gain in the long run.
"Assure him that for any parent, it is not a small price for any community in America that's been attending those funerals, it is not a small price, and I'd like to see the Republicans show the same kind of outrage that they seem to reserve for partisan purposes for as outrageous a comment as that, that suggests dying in Iraq is a small price." He said.
A spokesman for Boehner said the comments were being misinterpreted.
"Wolf asked about the money spent in Iraq, and that's what Mr. Boehner was referring to when he said our troops' efforts are critical for the safety and security of our country," Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Rep. Boehner, told CNN on Sunday. "There isn't a Member of Congress who appreciates the sacrifices of our troops more than Mr. Boehner, and that's why he visited Iraq last week to thank our troops for their service on behalf of our country."
Kerry was the 2004 Democratic nominee for president.

Mitt and Ann Romney
AMES, Iowa (CNN) - Commenting Saturday on a new Time Magazine cover story titled "The Real Running Mates" - which focuses on the current crop of presidential candidates' spouses - Republican candidate Mitt Romney said his wife would make a "prettier first lady" than former president Bill Clinton.
"It has a picture of five of the possible first ladies," the former Massachusetts governor said. "In the upper left hand corner it has my wife, and then next to it, it has Bill Clinton. And she is a much prettier first lady than Bill Clinton, I can tell you that!"
The cover story features a photograph of a commemorative White House china plate. On it are the faces of five potential 'first spouses' - Bill Clinton, Ann Romney, Elizabeth Edwards, Judith Nathan and Michelle Obama.
Romney made the comments at his tent at the University of Iowa/Iowa State football game. When asked which team he would be supporting, Romney chose to stay neutral, but after a few more people asked the same question, he saw an opportunity to take another subtle jab at the Clinton family, this time toward Hillary.
"I know there's only one thing that would bring both of these Teams ... together, and that's to make sure that Hillary Clinton is not the next president of the United States," he said.

McCain was critical of a plan to reduce troop levels
AYNOR, South Carolina (CNN) - Sen. John McCain, in the midst of a campaign swing through the Palmetto State on his "No Surrender Tour," told CNN Saturday that a plan gaining popularity among Senate Democrats to reduce troop levels in Iraq is "unconstitutional."
The proposal, originally crafted by Sen. Jim Webb, would mandate a certain period of troop rest between deployments, necessitating a reduction of forces in Iraq.
McCain, having just offered a vigorous defense of the war at a speech at Roger's Bar-B-Q House in Florence, South Carolina said that Congress has no business mandating the length of tours by servicemen.
"Where in the Constitution of the United States does it say that the Congress decides how long people will spend on tours of duty and how long they will spend back in the United States? It's blatantly unconstitutional," McCain said. "The Constitution of the United States said Congress will declare wars and fund wars."
The Senate takes up debate on the defense authorization bill Monday, and Webb's amendment would need 60 votes to avoid a Republican filibuster. Last time it came up for a vote in July, it received only 56 votes, though Democratic sources told CNN this week that they are closer to 60 votes this time around.
"Is this all about helping the men and women in the military having a lighter burden, or is this another way of achieving a goal that they can't get, a straight up or down vote on withdrawal?," McCain asked.

Senator John McCain, R-Arizona.
AYNOR, South Carolina (CNN) - Sen. John McCain, whose reputation among grassroots conservatives has suffered because of his support of this summer's failed immigration reform bill, said Saturday he still supports a guest-worker program as long as the borders are secured first.
"I still think that we need to have a temporary worker program that is associated with tamper-proof biometric documents, and we need to address the issue of 12 million people in this country illegally," McCain told CNN on his "No Surrender" bus after a campaign stop in Florence, South Carolina. "But first we have to secure the borders."
McCain explained how he plans to regain the trust of people who may have given up on him after the immigration debate.
"You do town hall meetings, and have people come and ask you questions, and make comments," McCain said. "Retail politics is what you do, and I have assured people that the lesson is: Americans don't trust the government, so they didn't believe we would secure the borders first."

Traditional computer fans are designed for air removal; With air circulation having been the most important factor in achieving cooling efficiency, most fans were used to remove hot air from the inside of a computer.
But as pressure and controlled air flow becoming more and more important in computer cooling, SilverStone has designed the Air Penetrator which is specially designed for creating direct air flow. The flow rate was not the main objective with the fan, but rather a focused air vortex to allow channeling through obstacles inside of the modern computer case.
With this the goal was more efficient cooling in defined areas inside of the system. Compared to common fans, where the air is dissipated in all directions and additionally disturbed by filters or fan grills, the unique fan blade design on this fan gives the Air Penetrator sufficient pressure to move air, with minimal speed and hence noise emission, as far as one meter.
This unparalleled efficiency makes the Air Penetrator not only the ideal air supply fan, but also ideal for applications on heatsinks and coolers with a low fin density.
Special features:
Industry-leading fan for air canalization
Wide fan blades for reduced drag
Integrated air-focusing frame also works as protective fan grill
