Pink damask bedding sets has grown increasingly popular of late and is now available in sizes that will fit everything from babies' cribs to king size beds. You may be unfamiliar with its formal name, but you are certain to recognize this classic pattern, which generally features images of flowers and intertwined leaves and vines. Better yet, many shoppers who assume that damask is only appropriate for those who favor more traditional looks are delighted to discover that this pink print is amazingly flexible.
Although the origins of damask are still in dispute, it is generally considered that this pattern of repeating botanical and/or animal images most likely started in China, making its way to India and Persia and ultimately a staple export of Damascus, Syria – consequently, the name Damask. The wealthiest classes of Europe were hungry for exotic fabrics, allowing the traders providing it to the affluent Europeans to charge an exorbitant price.
Jo Jo Designs
One of today's leading makers of pink bedding, Jo Jo Designs, carries a line of pink damask sets of bedding. Two of these sets, in particular, offer the traditional vintage look and feel of damask, while using more contemporary, updated colors. The richness of dark chocolate in combination with pink and turquoise have come together in the Bella Pink and Bella Turquoise set. Botanical patterns with a royal feeling on the bedding is just plain classic.

It is hard to imagine an ideal bedroom without a perfect comforter & bedding set, for the elegance of the room relies totally on the beauty of it. A linen set can make your decorating project a success or a failure because it will help you set the tone for your cozy haven. If you are considering shopping online for that "just right" comforter set for your project, make sure that you compare quality and prices by narrowing the selection to only a few top candidates before making the final commitment.
Vintage pink damask bedding sets often feature classic elements and are an affordable way to make a bold statement on a tight budget. Unlike the impression gained from the sound of its name, established designs like pink damask and paisley are suited for colorful surroundings with contemporary furnishings.

Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
I'm preparing to do my first oil change for my 3.6L V6. Does anyone have a step by step DIY with pictures? I found the .pdf available on WK2jeeps.com, but it seems that some information is missing.
Some questions:
1. What size oil filter cap wrench do I need?
2. Is there an access to the oil plug through the skid plate?
3. If not, what part of skid plate needs to be removed?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
The first one is included in the price. So drive to the dealer, eat their donuts, drink their coffee, read their newpaper and watch their TV. Done!
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
1. No oil filter cap wrench needed as it's above the engine. You need to use a socket wrench.
2. There is an access hole in the skid plate to get to the oil plug.
3. No skid plate removal necessary.
More info here:
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
Just finished the job myself. I didn't have a socket big enough to fit the oil filter cap, so I used a plumber's basin wrench. For the oil plug I used a 1/2 inch socket to remove it. I put the rear of vehicle on stands to help draining as suggested by some other posts, but I'm not sure how much it helped. After a closer look, the plug is facing to the center and to the rear. Next time I will put the front end on ramps.
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
Welcome to the Garage!
Sorry I did not see your original post sooner. By now you know how, but here is info for others:
- oil filter cartridge needs 15/16 inch socket to remove
- the drain plug can be removed without need to disassemble skid plates
I use ramps on the front wheels, and oil drains well with no oil leaking onto the skid plate.
Here's an old post I made about the filter:
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
I didn't have that darn 15/16" when i did mine a few weeks ago. Luckily, a 1" worked -- since it's not very tight. IIRC, I used a 13mm on the drain plug? I didn't even try 1/2" because all mine have been metric for the past several years.
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
I'm late to this post as well, thanks for posting silversvs and for the feedback above to you other two ^^
I had to go out and buy a 7/8" socket for the tire rotation, guess i need to go back for a 15/16" ... should have just got that in the first place and used for the lug nuts. 7/8 still seemed tight on many of the lugs.
back to the oil change... usually we drain the oil first and then do the filter change. I noticed the pdf says to first remove the filter and then drain the oil... what are you guys doing, any preference? I would think simply removing the oil FILL cap, then draining the oil, and THEN removing the oil filter would make more sense and be less messy. Thoughts?
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
What I do is drain the oil and while it's draining I remove the filter and swap in the new one. I then put the drain plug back into place and fill her up ;)
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
I like the socket. My wife's BMW has basically the same system but doesn't have a socket for the cap. However the filter is in a MUCH better location on her car - a lot less dripping oil.
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
cool thanks. going to be doing this soon. hopefully i can fit under there with it in the off-road II setting! would be sweet, no jacking or ramps needed.
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
Re: Oil change DIY 3.6L step by step
haha thanks, yes im still alive. locked out the QL and put jack stands under there anyway just in case.
went well. i had a 24mm deep socket that i ended up using for the oil filter cap. needed an extension though to get in there properly. no dripping from the oil filter was sweet. going to consider installing a fumoto valve to make draining oil even easier next time.

For Immediate Release
June 29, 2012
Edmonton, AB (June 29/12) – The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is pleased to announce the names of the artists who have been selected for inclusion in the 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art, to be presented January 26-May 5, 2013.
The artists are: Trevor Anderson, Edmonton; Kyle Armstrong, Edmonton; Noel Bégin, Calgary; Elisabeth Belliveau, Grande Prairie; Richard Brown, Calgary; Eric Cameron, Calgary; Bruno Canadien, Black Diamond; Sherri Chaba, Edmonton; Chris Cran, Calgary; Alysha Creighton, Edmonton; Dave and Jenn, Calgary; Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby, Calgary; Mackenzie Frère, Calgary; Sarah Fuller, Banff; Jason de Haan and Miruna Dragan, Calgary; Faye HeavyShield, Standoff; Terrance Houle, Calgary; Gary James Joynes, Edmonton; Kristopher Karklin, Fort McMurray; Emily Luce, Lethbridge; Eric Moschopedis and Mia Rushton, Calgary; Robyn Moody, Calgary; Pamela Norrish, Calgary; Gabrielle Paré, Edmonton; Laura St. Pierre, Grande Prairie; Jewel
Shaw, Red Deer; Taras Polataiko, Lethbridge; Larissa Tiggelers, Calgary; Laura Vickerson, Calgary; Jennifer Wanner, Calgary; Donna White, Calgary and Maria Whiteman, Edmonton.
Entitled The News from Here: The 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art will explore the theme of post-regionalism in the context of Alberta art. According to guest-curator Nancy Tousley, Alberta artists, working in the second decade of the 21st century, are forming their identities around the places they choose to live, work and travel—the idea of a single, dominant centre is no longer applicable as it is distant and divorced from their daily lives. They are now, more than ever, aware of the larger art world in which they participate. In this exhibition, the physical, societal and cultural geography of Alberta is felt in the works of art, both in the foreground and background of imagery, subject matter, content and critical issues. Rather than a defensive regionalism, one finds in their work an acceptance and consideration of place.
The News from Here: The 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is curated by Alberta-based writer, critic and curator Nancy Tousley. Tousley reviewed over 200 portfolios and conducted 60 studio visits before selecting these 36 artists. The Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art brings national attention to Alberta's art scene and promotes the province's artists. Since its inception in 1996, the Alberta Biennial has featured the work of over 130 Alberta contemporary artists.
The News from Here: The 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is presented at the Art Gallery of Alberta by ATB Financial from January 26-May 5, 2013.

FACTBOX: Jerusalem, a city at the heart of conflict
(Reuters) - Jerusalem, where voters choose a new mayor in an Israeli election on Nov 11 that Palestinian residents say they will boycott, lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East.
Here are some key facts about the city:
Situated 760 meters (2,500 feet) up in the hills between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean, Jerusalem has been settled for 5,000 years. It became the center of Jewish religion and nationhood. Muslims revere it as the site of Prophet Mohammad's ascension to heaven. For Christians, it saw the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
Britain took Jerusalem from the Ottoman Turks in World War One and ruled Palestine for the following three decades.
Under a 1947 U.N. plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state, Jerusalem and its region were to be a separate entity under U.N. rule.
In fighting in 1948, Jewish forces took Jerusalem's western suburbs and land linking it to the new Israeli state. Major powers accepted a de facto divide along a fortified line between Jewish West Jerusalem and Jordanian-ruled East Jerusalem, which included the Old City.
Then as now, however, no formal sovereignty over Jerusalem was recognized by the U.N. and international powers. Continued...

A JOURNALIST from Sedgemoor is recuperating back home in the UK after her fifth tour to Afghanistan.
Charlotte Cross, 39, originally from Enmore, toured the wartorn country as a Captain in the Territorial Army in 2006 before joining the British Forces Broadcasting Service as an embedded reporter in 2009.
She said: "Having been present right at the start of the Helmand campaign it has been a real privilege to return so often as an objective observer with unhindered access across the whole area of operations.
"When I arrived in August, 2006, there were fewer than 3,000 British troops across the whole of Helmand, and only a handful of Afghan soldiers and police.
"It was clearly not enough.
Now, in 2012, there are 10,000 British troops who are covering a much smaller area, and they are bolstered by 30,000 American troops covering the rest of Helmand.
"The Afghan Aarmy and police have taken over security in some areas completely.
"In 2009 it would take us three or four hours to move along a mile or so of dirttracked road, which had to be meticulously cleared for Improvised Explosive Devices as we went.
"In 2012 you can travel freely along the network of newly black-topped roads, such is the improvement in security."
The BFBS's news programmes – British Forces News covers issues of warfare, defence policy and military strategy, as well as informing British troops and their families across the forces world.
Charlotte, whose parents, Roger and Barbara, still live in Enmore, said: "The part of the job I enjoy most is jumping on a helicopter or into the back of vehicle on a road convoy, never quite sure what awaits me when I reach my destination.
"Each base in Afghanistan has its own character – it could be a packed headquarters or a tiny checkpoint in the middle of nowhere with a handful of troops living in the most basic conditions imaginable.
"Wherever I've been I've only ever received the warmest welcome from troops on the ground who always seem excited to have the TV cameras along with them, recording what they do.
"We're telling their story to the world, but, more importantly, we're telling it to their friends and family back home, showing them what their hard work's achieving."
You can watch Charlotte on British Forces News online at www.bfbs.com/news, or at 6.30pm on Information TV, available via Sky Channel 231 and Freesat Channel 402.

ABC Expo News
Mountain Buggy has big new for 2011! Two new double strollers and a fun ride-on scooter that attaches to a stroller!
Mountain Buggy Duet
Let's start with the biggest news first! Mountain Buggy is bringing out the slimmest side-by-side stroller ever! (Okay, at least so far until others start to copy them!) The Mountain Buggy Duet won't be available probably until Summer 2011 but it might just be worth waiting for. The Duet will be a slim 26″ across! That is about the same width as the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle Single. How, you ask? Truthfully, we aren't really sure! We saw it. We measured the seats at 11 1/2 inches across each. And we measured the stroller at its widest point – the canopies. 26 inches! So, this double stroller will glide through even your smaller doors! Since it was a prototype, we couldn't push it around. So, we'll have to report on the maneuverability when it comes out. The notable features we do know about are:
- 26″ wide
- 11 1/2″ wide seats
- Flat seat reclines
- Adjustable handle
- No suspension
- Will accommodate 2 infant car seats! (We'll believe this when we see it!)
- Will take 2 carrycots
- Probably retail for $599
MB + One Stroller
The MB + One is a new tandem stroller that Mountain Buggy will introduce in Spring 2011. It has a front/back seating design, 110 lb total weight capacity yet will not be as long as your traditional tandem stroller.
Notable Features:
- Adjustable handlebar
- Huge canopy
- Can be a double or a single
- In double mode, the front seat will have no recline
- Big basket
- 12″ wheels so you can jog with it
- Takes a carrycot in the rear seat
- Auto transport lock
- Lockable front swivel wheels
Mountain Buggy Free Rider
And last, but not least, the Mountain Buggy Free Rider. This is a ride-on scooter that will attach to the Mountain Buggy Duo and Urban Jungle (to start!) to give your older toddler/child a fun ride. You'll be able to attach it to the back of the Duo to make it a triple. Plus, a fun feature of the Free Rider is that it is a ride-on (like a buggy board) when attached but can be used by itself as a scooter. So, the Free Rider does double duty. Plus, a little birdie told us that they are working on the Free Rider having the ability to attach to competitors' strollers as well.
The Free Rider will be available in December 2010 and retail for $99.

Chess champion Bobby Fischer buried in Iceland
By Kristin Arna Bragadottir
REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - Chess legend Bobby Fischer, who died in Iceland last week aged 64, was buried on Monday in a private ceremony near the city that hosted his famous victory over the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky 35 years ago.
Fischer's spokesman, Gardar Sverrisson, said the American-born world chess champion was buried on Monday morning at a quiet ceremony attended by a few friends and his companion, Japanese chess player Miyoko Watai.
The Catholic burial was held on a cold, bright day at a small country church near the southern Icelandic town of Selfoss, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) southeast of Reykjavik.
One of the attendees, who declined to be identified, said Fischer had requested that only a handful of people be at his funeral.
The quiet end of Fischer's life contrasted with the fiery nature of his life, both at and away from the chess board.
The former child prodigy became America's only world chess champion by humbling the Soviet Union's best but spent his last years as a fugitive from U.S. authorities.
He died after an unspecified illness on Thursday in Reykjavik, the site of his 1972 victory over Boris Spassky at the height of the Cold War. Media reports have said he died of kidney failure.
Once feted as a national hero and seen by some as the greatest chess talent ever, the Chicago-born Fischer handed his title to the Soviet champion Anatoly Karpov three years later by refusing to defend it. Continued...

|Evaluation of Screening Tools for OSA in Hospitalized Medical Patients: A Validation Study
|Brief Summary
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients admitted to the hospital is likely significantly higher than the general population as hospitalized patients carry a high prevalence of co-morbid conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, that are commonly associated with OSA. The true prevalence of OSA in hospitalized patients is not known, though there is limited data suggesting that the rate of OSA in hospitalized patients is indeed high. Two studies have reported on the rate of polysomnographic (PSG) diagnosis of OSA in patients referred for OSA evaluation while in-hospital. These studies reported frequencies of 77% (in a retrospective study of 100 patients) and 88-100% (in an observational study of 250 patients). Similarly, 2 studies evaluated the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing in patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure, finding frequencies of sleep apnea in 97% (prospective study of 29 patients studied with PSG) and 75% (prospective study of 395 consecutive patients studied with portable monitors). However, all of these studies are limited by either study design (retrospective), small numbers, limited channel portable monitoring, or evaluations of highly select patient populations. Furthermore, none of these studies examined screening tools that may help to identify which patients are at risk for OSA and thus might require the more extensive and expensive objective testing.
This study will test the following hypotheses:
Specific Aim 2: To determine the accuracy of different screening questionnaires for the diagnosis of OSA in hospitalized medical patients by comparing the questionnaire results to that of a PSG performed while in-hospital.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rises as financials and energy lead broad-based gains
TORONTO May 20 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Friday as financials and energy led broad-based gains, helped by a rally in global stocks as the negative impact of hawkish Federal Reserve minutes this week faded.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 102.26 points, or 0.74 percent, at 13,919.58. All of the index's 10 main groups ended higher. (Reporting by Fergal Smith; Editing by Meredith Mazzilli)

I feel deeply insulted.
hey simon dont you guys use mark phung in the same way.....lol
What knowledge can a grappling dummy teach you?
I just have a bit of an issue with remembering stuff. I was thinking that to have something like this at home so I can just practice basic technique could be useful.
Whenever I go to buy anything nowadays I always ask myself whether or not the money would be better spent on BJJ privates. I've never had one before but I'd really like to do some as I have so many questions.
I know the answer to the question is to opt for privates, but the only thing that's really stopping me from doing them at the moment is time. I just don't have any right now.
LOL i'm joking.
If you want to grapple with a dummy in the privacy of your own home that's up to you!
Find a mate who has mutual interests in drilling instead of a man shaped imposter and take classes with the BB.

Sally Hansen Super Shine Shiny Top Coat Review
Top coat is one of the essential things you need for a perfect manicure. Imagine applying your favorite nail polish or nail art and then it messes up in just a day or two. Bad right? That's why you see me (and will be seeing in future too) using top coat in my nail arts here.
I will do a quick review on one of my favorite top coat. 😀
Product Name: Super Shine Top Coat
Product Brand: Sally Hansen
Product Type: Top coat
Price: INR 425/- (I got it at discounted price of INR 385/-)
Quantity: 13.3 ml/ 0.45 fl.oz.
Ingredients and Direction for use: Refer image below
My Take:
Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat has been by far my most favorite top coat. The product is expensive but quantity is fine considering you need just a thin coat of it on your nails. It does make your manicure last longer and give amazing shine. It prevents chipping on my nails for almost a week!
Some nail manicure's where I have used this top coat!!
Sweet aspects:
- Prevents chipping.
- Provides amazing lustre to nails.
- The formula is not thick. It's just proper and spreads evenly.
- The applicator brush is just perfect for evenly spreading on the nails. No bristle shedding.
- The nail paint underneath stays for about a week without chipping.
- It provides a protecting layer and also hardens the nail so it does not chip easily.
Bitter aspects:
- Expensive.
- Difficult to find in India. But these days most online shopping websites offer this at discounted rate.
- It takes a minute or two to dry. I would prefer a high shine plus fast dry top coat. 😉
My Rating: 4/5
Will I repurchase?
Yes till I don't find better than this one. 😉
Will I recommend?
Yes I will highly recommend this. It is expensive but you require little unlike nail paints so it will last you.
Do you use top coats for your manicure? Which one is your favorite? Share in the comments below. 🙂

Click here to view a complete list of Tuition Rates.
Note: Tuition is set by State Policy and subject to change without notice.
Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes
Under North Carolina law, a person may qualify as a resident for tuition purposes in North Carolina, thereby being eligible for a tuition rate lower than that for nonresidents. Copies of the applicable law and of regulations for implementation are available for inspection in the Learning Resource Center and may be examined upon request.
In essence, the controlling North Carolina Statute (G.S. 116-143.1) requires that "to qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, a person must have established legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintained that legal residence for at least 12 months immediately prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes."
Payment of Fees
- Tuition and fees for each semester are payable on or before the date of registration. Any student who is unable to make payment at that time must make a special arrangement with the Financial Aid Office.
- A student who has an outstanding balance due to the College is not eligible for registration. This includes any outstanding balance at another institution of the community college system.
- No student will be allowed to graduate or to receive a diploma, certificate, or transcript of his record, nor will any information concerning his record be forwarded to any other institution or other person, so long as the delinquent account is outstanding.
Payment Plan Option
- A payment plan option is available for students paying for their tuition and fees.
Tuition Refund Policy – Curriculum Students
A refund shall not be made except under the following circumstances:
- A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to first day of class(es) of the academic
semester as noted in the college calendar. Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered fails to "make" due to insufficient enrollment.
- A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially with- draws from the class(es) prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the semester.
- For classes beginning at times other than the first week (seven calendar days) of the semester, a 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to the first class meeting. A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to or on the 10 percent point of the class.
- For contact hour classes, ten calendar days from the date of the first class meeting is the determination date.
To comply with applicable federal regulations regarding refunds, federal regulations will supersede the state refund regulations stated in the rule.
Where a student, having paid the required tuition for a semester, dies during that semester (prior to or on the last day of examinations of the college the student was attending), all tuition and fees for that semester may be refunded to the estate of the deceased.
Financial Aid Title IV Refund
If students withdraw or reduce their course load during the drop/add period of the semester, they may be required to repay some or all of their student financial aid. If students withdraw from college or cease attending classes prior to the 60% point of the semester, they will be responsible for the repayment of the Federal Pell Grant and any other Title IV grants received. Failure to repay student financial aid can result in a "tagged record". Having a "tagged record" prevents students from receiving financial aid in future semesters.
Student Activity Fee Refund Policy-Curriculum Students
A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of class(es) of the academic semester as noted in the college calendar. Also, a student is eligible for 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered fails to "make" due to insufficient enrollment.

Other Expenses
Audit Fee

Credit by Examination
A fee for credit by examination of $72.00 per semester hour for in-state students and $264.00 per semester hour for out-of-state students must be paid except in the case of full-time students (16 semester hours) for whom there would be no additional charge.
Applicants for graduation must purchase their caps, gowns, and diplomas. These items must be purchased when the application for graduation is processed.
Student Accident Insurance is now provided for every student enrolled in a curriculum program at no cost to the students. Students enrolled in the nursing programs must provide evidence of coverage by Health Insurance.
Textbooks and Supplies
Students must purchase textbooks and other necessary supplies. For their convenience, the College maintains a bookstore where these items may be purchased. The cost of these items varies according to the program of study taken by the student.
Licensure and Examination Fees
Several of the programs at Wayne Community College lead toward graduation in fields which require an examination or a series of examinations in order to work or practice. National and/or state certification of skills and competencies is important in obtaining employment. The trend in recent years is toward more examinations in more fields.

COLUMBUS -- Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted will direct county elections officials to allow early in-person voting on mostly weekday hours before the May primary.
And he said he'll have to set uniform statewide hours for the November general election if lawmakers don't agree on a plan of their own in coming months.
"Our priorities should be to give all voters equal access to their ballots no matter where they live; to provide adequate time to accommodate an increasingly busy electorate and to reduce the chance of long lines on Election Day," Husted said. "To that end and given the absence of legislative action, I am today announcing a statewide voting schedule for the primary election. I will send you a formal directive this week."
Husted made the announcement during a speech at the Ohio Association of Election Officials' winter conference in Columbus, where he also outlined plans to send absentee ballots to all eligible voters and urged the state legislature to OK online voter registration.
For the May primary, early polls will be open April 1-May 3, with ballots accepted generally on weekdays during regular business hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m.). The exception is April 7, the deadline for voter registrations, when the polls will remain open until 9 p.m. And on the final Saturday before the primary, absentee ballots can be cast from 8 a.m. to noon.
The setup is sure to draw criticism from Statehouse Democrats, who have called for evening and weekend early voting hours.
But Husted said the plan has the support of bipartisan county elections boards.
Absent a vote of the legislature, he said he will set early voting hours for the November general election based on a settlement in the works with President Obama's reelection campaign, which sued two years ago to expand early voting opportunities.
"It can be taken out of the hands of the court, it can be taken out of the hands of the secretary of state simply by the general assembly acting," Husted said. "In their absence of action, we have litigation and expectations from the court that we will set these hours and we will do it in the absence of their leadership."

Moroccan Design
Last year I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit Morocco. Not knowing much about the country before I departed, I had no real expectations of what I was about to see. Upon stepping off the plane in Marrakech, I immediately fell in love with the culture and their love for design.
Moroccan homes are designed for the intimacy of the family and visitors. To eye of a passerby a home may seem plain, but upon entering you would find the interior to be ornately decorated with bright colors and intricate patterns.
The layout of the homes generally wrap around a center courtyard filled with plants, fountains, or sofas.
Almost every surface is covered in colorful ceramic tiles or zellige (terra cotta tile work covered with enamel in the form of chips set into plaster).
The tiles (and most colored decorations) use bright earth tones. Red, yellow, and blue are most frequently used. These ornate zellige works are commonly bordered with intricate carving into wood or stone.
Walls not covered in zellige are usually painted using tadelakt; a method that has been used by Moroccans for centuries, which involves using a colored limestone and black soap paste to create smooth, waxed surfaces on walls or floors.
Furniture styles typically include seating low to the ground, made of wood, and decorated with bright accent pillows.
Lighting almost always comes from hand crafted hanging lanterns dangled throughout the house and courtyard.
A particular blind, arch, cove, etc. is typically accented as a main feature in the home. It represents the direction in which Mecca lies, and indicates Muslims which way to face during prayer.
Finally, a Moroccan home's décor is never finished without a scent. Commonly infused with floral and spices, scented oils, powders, and potpourri are an essential part of the home's atmosphere.
Seeing the love that Moroccan's have for design was inspiring. Their passion for color and detail brightens up every street, creating a warm and bright atmosphere in every corner of the city.Continue reading "Moroccan Design" »

The driver died on impact.

We'll cover each one in reverse order:
1. To help increase USPS revenue, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced a bill last week that would allow USPS to ship wine and beer. The 21st Century Postal Service Act, which is co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.), aims to increase USPS revenue and capitalize on the growing craft brewery market.
Can you imagine the requests from Missoula expats wanting shipments of Cold Smoke and Dump Truck Summer Bock?
2. The Senate Small Brewers Caucus met last month over beers from Big Sky Brewing. This is a direct result of Sen. Max Baucus being co-chair of the caucus. Montana's senior senator has been a proponent of small brewers, including them in his Montana Jobs Economic Engine Initiative and touting the fact Montana has the second-highest number of small breweries per capita in the nation. It's worth noting Rep. Denny Rehberg is on the House version of the same caucus.
One suggestion: Perhaps Baucus and Rehberg can influence state laws that put an unnecessary cap on otherwise thriving local brewers.
3. Did you know the White House brews its own beer? This isn't local, or new, but it's still cool. It started a year ago, and there are three varieties to date: White House Honey Ale, White House Honey Blonde Ale and White House Honey Porter. Even cooler: The beehive that supplies the honey is located on White House grounds.

That was before 9/11... when I was a ticket agent... I'm not sure what kind of cavity search is involved by TSA for guns in bags now... but I am sure that, since they are the Feds and represent DHLS, they pretty much have carte blanc to do whatever they feel is "necessary" to mitigate a perceived threat.
Oh boy am I glad they{The Feds} have control of our health care.
Can't wait to see the idiocracy that abounds with that runaway train.
Think healthcare spending is out of control now?
Just wait.
The whole TSA deal is an outrage, and if people would stop flying for awhile they would stop the rediculousness that abounds.
Businesses can hold most meetings via computer now, and a lot of corporate travel could be stopped.
A side benefit might be reduced cost of doing business, and the savings could be passed on to consumers.
Are you sure the screw that holds the lock together did not fall out? I had this happen to mine, not on a flight, but in the car. I put it back together with some Lock tite blue and have had no more issues. Now if there are pry marks, etc. ...

Keeping Current—Probate offers a look at selected recent cases, rulings and regulations, literature, and legislation. The editors of Probate & Property welcome suggestions and contributions from readers.
ATTESTATION: Direction in tax clause against apportionment made beneficiary of life insurance policy an interested witness. New York's interested witness statute voids a "beneficial disposition" to an attesting witness whose testimony is necessary to prove the will. In In re Estate of Wu, 877 N.Y.S.2d 886 ( N.Y. Sur. Ct. 2009), the will's tax apportionment clause placed the burden of payment of all estate taxes on the residuary estate. The testator's brother was the beneficiary of life insurance policies on the testator's life and received more than $3.3 million on the testator's death. The policies were included in the testator's taxable estate. In an action by the executor to collect from the testator's brother the estate tax attributable to the life insurance proceeds, the surrogate held that the operation of the tax apportionment clause was the equivalent of a "beneficial disposition" to the brother regardless of whether the brother knew of his designation as the beneficiary at the time of the execution of the will and that therefore the brother could not benefit from the tax apportionment clause and must pay his share of the estate taxes.
ATTESTATION: Initials of witness on each page of will deemed insufficient as attestation. In its opinion in In re Estate of Leavey, 202 P.3d 99 (Kan. Ct. App. 2009), the Kansas intermediate appellate court affirmed denial of probate for lack of due execution. Although the testator and one witness signed the will at the end and also signed the self-proving affidavit, the intended second witness, the scrivener, did not sign on the line provided for his signature. The initials of the scrivener, the testator, and the witness did appear on the bottom right-hand corner of each page. The court held that the initials did not substantially comply with the statutory requirement that the witnesses attest and subscribe the will in the presence of the testator.
CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST: Court can impose trust on basis of unjust enrichment alone. In its extensive opinion in Nelson v. Nelson, 205 P.3d 715 (Kan. 2009), the Kansas Supreme Court held that proof of actual or constructive fraud is not necessary for the imposition of a constructive trust. The decedent's children claimed that the decedent had failed to comply with the property settlement agreement incorporated into the divorce settlement with their mother by diminishing his estate through inter vivos transfers, thus depriving them of the income of his "entire estate" as stipulated in the agreement. Although unjust enrichment of the beneficiaries of the inter vivos transfers is a sufficient basis for the imposition of a constructive trust in favor of the decedent's children, the court affirmed summary judgment against the children because they failed to make a timely claim against the decedent's estate under the Kansas nonclaim statute.
CONTRACTUAL WILLS: Oral contract barred by statute. Alaska law, identical to UPC § 2-514, requires that all contracts to make a will or devise be in writing. In its opinion in Cragle v. Gray, 206 P.3d 446 (Alaska 2009), the Alaska Supreme Court held that an oral agreement between a grandmother and her granddaughter providing that the grandmother would give her house to her granddaughter if the granddaughter cared for her until her death was a succession contract and void because it was not in writing.
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS: Implied requirement of good faith allows beneficiaries to recover. A prenuptial agreement provided that if the husband died first, the wife would maintain a valid will giving not less than one-quarter of her entire estate to each of her husband's three sons. The husband's will left a substantial portion of his estate to his wife. After the husband's death, his wife made transfers to irrevocable trusts that greatly reduced her probate estate. Her will left her probate estate to the husband's sons. After the wife died, his sons sued and the Supreme Court of Kansas upheld the imposition of a constructive trust in their favor. The confidential relationship between the husband and his wife gave rise to an implied duty in the wife not to make gifts inconsistent with her obligations under the agreement. The nonclaim statute does not bar what is in essence an action by the wife's estate to marshal assets nor is the action barred by the statute of limitations because the right of action did not accrue until the wife's death. Estate of Draper v. Bank of America, N.A., 205 P.3d 698 ( Kan. 2009).
TRUST INVESTMENT: Exchange of life insurance policies not imprudent. The Indiana intermediate appellate court upheld as prudent a trustee's decision to exchange variable universal life (VUL) insurance policies on the life of the settlor for a standard whole life policy with a death benefit less than one-third that of the VUL policies. The VUL policies were losing money because of declines in the stock market, and maintaining them would require additional contributions to the trust that were beyond the financial capacity of the insured. The opinion contains an extensive review of the application of the Prudent Investor Act. In re Stuart Cochran Irrevocable Trust, 901 N.E.2d 1128 ( Ind. Ct. App. 2009).
TRUSTEE DUTIES: Damages for failure to sell real property not properly measured by appraised value. A coal mine was the sole principal asset of a testamentary trust created in 1921. The testator directed the co-trustees to hold the mine absent "very radical change" from current conditions. The revenue from the mine began to decline greatly during the mid-1980s, and in 1987 the then sole trustee obtained an order from the appropriate court allowing the mine to be sold. In 1986, the mine was appraised at $1.1 million and was finally sold for $350,000 in 1997. In 2007, the beneficiaries sued the trustee and won damages for failure to diversify based on a failure to sell for $1.1 million in 1987. The Supreme Court of Virginia reversed and rendered judgment for the trustee because the beneficiaries failed to bring forward evidence showing the existence of a willing buyer at the appraisal price at any time after 1987. Suntrust Bank v. Farrar, 675 S.E.2d 187 ( Va. 2009).
TRUSTS: Loans by one trust to an insurance trust violated prohibition on retention of unproductive property. An income beneficiary objected to the trustees' accounting that showed the trust had made loans to a second trust to pay premiums on a life insurance policy on the income beneficiary. The court granted summary judgment for the income beneficiary. Because the loans had never produced income in the 15 years they had been outstanding, they were unproductive property retention that violated the trustees' duty to the income beneficiary and the express language of the trust prohibiting the trustees from retaining unproductive property beyond a reasonable period of time. In re Terranova, 873 N.Y.S.2d 651 (N.Y. App. Div. 2009).
GST TAX: Modification of grandfathered GSTT trust to limit the exercise by the beneficiary of five and five powers to January, rather than all year, will not cause trust to lose its exempt status. PLR 200917015.
GST TAX: Modification of grandfathered GSTT trust to permit adopted grandchildren to take as biological grandchildren will not cause trust to lose its exempt status. The biological children, however, will be deemed to have made taxable gifts to the adopted grandchildren. PLR 200917004.
GIFT TAX: Transfer of residence to qualified personal residence trust with simultaneous sale of remainder results in zero gift. PLR 200919002.
LIFE INSURANCE: Owner of policy who purchased policy from the insured incurs ordinary taxable income on the "profit" (not capital gain) when the insured dies. Rev. Rul. 2009-14. For a similar result when the policy is surrendered or sold, see Rev. Rul. 2009-13.
MORTALITY TABLES: Mortality tables in Code § 7570 updated to (finally) reflect results of 2000 census. T.D. 9448.

London, May 29 : Drawings and computer-generated images of child sex abuse could be made illegal under proposals announced by the Ministry of Justice in the UK.
Justice Minister Maria Eagle has outlined plans to make possession of such images punishable by up to three years in prison.
The plans are part of the government's response to a public consultation exercise conducted last year.
Under the Obscene Publications Act, it is illegal to sell or distribute photos of child abuse but it is legal to own drawings and computer-generated images.
The Government said that as a result paedophiles were using computer technology to manipulate real photographs or videos of abuse into drawings or cartoons.
Eagle said that the proposal would 'help close a loophole that we believe paedophiles are using'.
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said that the authorities had 'noticed an increase in the existing availability of these images on the internet'.
"If we do not address the issues these images raise now it is likely their availability will continue to grow," BBC quoted her, as saying.
"They are often advertised as a legitimate depiction of child sexual abuse," she added.
Eagle said that the plans were 'not about criminalising art or pornographic cartoons more generally, but about targeting obscene, and often very realistic, images of child sexual abuse which have no place in our society'.

Baking Tips
| October 02, 2012
In Coffee and Convo
Featured Recipe: Super-Easy Cinnamon Twirl Biscuits
I have never considered myself a "baker" but have always enjoyed the art of baking. And art it is. But there are few learned tips. Over the last 30+ years of trial and error, here are my top 5 tips to better baking:
1. Always use a dry measure for dry ingredients and liquid measure for liquids. This sounds self explanatory, but it is crucial to correct measuring. If you don't have a good set of either, buy one! Reliable dry cup measures are under $10 and a set of two or three (1 cup, 2 cup and 4 cup) glass liquid measures are usually under $15 for the whole set. Same goes for a set of measuring spoons. Do not use your tableware for measuring.
2. Always spoon your dry ingredients into your cup measure, using a sifting or shaking motion to lightly sprinkle the dry ingredients into the measure. And swipe away the excess with a smooth edge. Never scoop the ingredient. Especially flour. You can get from ¼ to almost ½ cup too much flour if you "scoop" instead of "spoon and sprinkle." The exception to this rule for dry ingredients is brown sugars; but follow closely the direction, which should indicate loosely or tightly packed. If it doesn't specify, go with loosely packed.
3. Do not over mix cakes, cookies, breads or other flour-based items. Over mixing can cause dry, tough and dense results. Most recipes will warn against this and instruct: "just until mixed" or "gently fold" or even give an exact time on the mixing by strokes or in minutes.
4. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before placing the pan in the oven. Changes in temperature can vastly affect the final results.
5. Use an oven temperature gauge / thermometer (easily purchased at kitchen or mart type stores) to make sure what temperature your oven is functioning. Remember just because the "knob" or "numbers" read 400 degrees, the only way to know is with a thermometer. If your oven is off by 25 degrees, consider getting it professionally calibrated.
This recipe for Cinnamon Twirl Biscuits is a super-easy, minimal-measuring recipe that will "wow" anyone. Follow the above tips and you'll never be disappointed! Enjoy!

I have been a fan of yours for a long time. When I changed careers from teaching to banking, (with an hour-long commute one way), I knew I had to do something to get supper on the table quick. I picked up a copy of Desperation Dinners! over 10 years ago, and it is still one of my most used cookbooks.

Who gives a stuff about the Act of Settlement?
I have to confess that I have always thought it was to the great good fortune of the female members of the royal family that they didn't have to face the awful prospect of the throne, unless they were unusually deficient in the brother-department. Just occasionally discrimination can work, inadvertently, to our favour.
For me, it's rather like not being able to go to Mount Athos. Of course, I tend to protest publicly that it is 'men-only', but secretly I feel a twinge of relief that I dont have to go there, or have a view on the place, or join in those dreary conversations about old Father Demetrios... and so forth.
But since getting called twice by radio journalists in the last 24 hours to say something changing the Act of Settlement etc, and about girls getting an equal chance to get to be monarch as men, I've found I have rather stronger views.
For a start, what IS the point with tinkering with the monarchy -- as if a tiny bit of political correctness could bring it up to date? You don't make a medieval/Victorian institution 'fair' by rearranging the deck chairs like this. The whole institution is unfair, like it or lump it. That I think was more or less Alexander Chancellor's view in the paper this morning. Scroll down to the bottom of this link.
In fact, I suspect that in 200 hundred years time, we'll look back to this reform as the beginning of the end of the whole institution -- as its much more serious inequities, its mad fantasies, get seen in even more clear relief, once this little bit of discrimination is removed.
But more to the point, fretting about the monarchy is almost always a political displacement activity.
Just reflect on the hours of parliamentary time that are going to go down this particular drain, when our MPs might actually be devoting their time and attention to banks, jobs, universities or whatever.
And just reflect on the effort and interest, across the Commonwealth, that will be devoted to the possibility that Kate and Wills's baby Princess might succeed to the throne, when there are millions of women in those territories who are still waiting for a proper education, or a proper job . . . Priorities, priorities, priorities?
Anyway, when I ranted along these lines to the said journalists, I found that I didn't get invited to share these views with the listeners....! Funny that.

Cold Sunroom
I live in Ontario Canada and have an existing sunroom overtop an open carport. There is no heat that goes directly into this sunroom but I could do this easily. The sunrooms 15 windows are old but in good shape single pane wood sash with single pane storm windows on the outside. I was thinking of reinsulating the Sunroom floor with spray insulation and installing new vinyl windows. I use this for a cottage so I am there just on weekends and every other weekend in the winter. Right now I just have this area sealed off.
Am I proceeding in the right direction ?
Will this help with the loss of heat ?
Is it worth the money ?
If it's not heated, new windows and insulation won't make it too much warmer. You'll experience some solar heat gain, but the new windows are made to reduce heat gain through coatings to the glass.
New windows, insulation and heat will do the trick.
