These earrings are very nice. The only negative is that the stones are heavier than the setting and tend to drop down where can't catch the light... and also nobody can see them... It definitely need more gold to hold the stone vertically.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami
Beautiful but too fragile
Par selective shopper
de northern ontario
I was hoping that these earrings would be constructed in a way that would allow regular wear but upon inspection they are simply too thin in the lever back portion.. hence the reduced price. Too bad because they were elegant in their design.. these octagon earrings are going to be returned to TSC. I think most TSC customers would be prepared to pay a bit more for gold jewellery items that are sturdy enough so that can be worn without concern about breakage. These earrings have the most flimsy construction that I have ever seen.

Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

Pretty Earrings but poor settings
Par MJ
de Alberta
The stones are very beautiful but the settings need to be stronger, the earring is quite heavy and hangs very low on the ear so they don't hang in a position to be fully seen and capture the light
Par Kristie
de Ontario
Was surprised how flimsy the gold was-- very thin and just looked cheaply made. The stone in one of them was already dislodged out of the setting upon arrival. The stone was also to heavy and did not sit right when on as it faced downward. Over all not a good purchase and I returned the item for a refund... :(
Very disappointed
Par Made in China - no more
de Winnipeg
First impression - beautiful. Upon trying to remove the earrings from the package the wire broke. The wire going through the ear was so thin. I don't mind paying a bit extra for good quality. I've been avoiding buying made in China products because of poor quality, but I may now have to avoid made in Canada as well. That is a shame as I take pride in Canadian products.

pretty but fragile - lost a stone
Par CAT
de Saskatoon
A very pretty earring but the setting is not up to the usual standards of Diamonelle. The gold wire and setting are thin and in comparison the stone is heavy and pulls down. The prong setting sits on the stone and given the lack of 10 K gold it is not secure. I lost a stone the 2nd time I wore the earrings. Please bring back the quality of settings that Diamonelle has built a reputation upon. Price is always a consideration but not at the expense of quality.

Home Improvement Questions? Ask a Handyman for Answers
Please do not close my question as I do not have an answer.
Thank You, Ron
Hello, Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX continue to look for a professional to assist you. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance while you wait. Best,
My name's Kel.
Start by moving the bottom sash so it's centered it the opening.
With one hand push in on the jamb liner --
say -- start with the left one --
while pushing in, that is, away from the sash --
gently pull on the upper left corner of the sash.
It should by the inside guide track.
Then do the same thing on the right side.
Then come back to the left and repeat.
This time the corner of the sash should completely disengage the liner tracks and be loose. Do the other side and lower the sash so it's perpendicular to the opening.
It will pivot on pins that engage spring loaded brackets.
Twist the sash so one of the corners comes straight up.
Then do the other.
It should now be free.
Same procedure for the upper sash.
If the jamb liners are rigid and there's no play they're not tilt in sash.
Have I answered your question?
Dovetail Greene, I can do as you said and get the lower (inner) sash to tilt and remove, but the upper (outer) sash will not clear the frame. Is there a tool that will help spred the frame? These windows have probably never been tilted in before.
Craftsman makes a reversible bar clamp that would allow you to exert outward pressure on both jamb liners at the same time.
If you try this
These clamps could easily crack the frame.
Wow, I have done what your expert suggested I do. I don't have a problem with the charge but I really would like to have a valid suggestion if not answer. An expert should be able to tell me more than I can do as a person not very handy around the house. If you do not know just say so or tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I will not use you guys again.
Hello Ron.
If I haven't answered your question or a particular suggestion doesn't work --
let me know
and I'll come up with an alternate.
We keep working together until the problem is resolved.
You're not paying for any first answer.
Part of the unwritten deal is
you give me feedback til we're done.
Let's continue and get this done.

NHL: Blackhawks equal record with shootout victory over Vancouver
Chicago Blackhawks fought back to secure a 4-3 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks in a record-equalling victory.
Last Updated: 20/02/13 9:06am
NHL leaders Blackhawks (13-0-3) matched the longest start to a season without a loss in regulation, the 16-game run matching the achievements of the 2007 Anaheim Ducks side, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Daniel Sedin opened the scoring for Vancouver but Chicago answered with three straight goals in the second period, where Patrick Sharp netted a slapshot and Marian Hossa added a pair of goals to establish a two-goal lead.
That was how it stayed until the final three minutes of the third period before Canucks' Alexander Edler and Kevin Bieksa netted to take the game into overtime.
But Chicago held their nerve as Patrick Kane and Andrew Shaw converted in the shootout for the Blackhawks and goaltender Ray Emery made two crucial saves to secure victory.
Cory Schneider pulled off 40 saves for Vancouver, who have now lost three straight matches since their six-game winning streak came to an end.
"It's a remarkable start," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said of their impressive run.
"We're very happy and pleased. Guys should be proud of the achievement and where they're at, especially in a 48-game season."

2007: The Year of the Pirate
Jason Mick
January 3, 2008 9:07 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The hottest movies, music, tv shows, and artists of 2007 -- by p2p statistics
magazine recently
released a fascinating report
, which names the biggest winners, in terms of popularity, (or losers, in terms of revenue) of 2007. The report which was based on statistics that Wired staffers grabbed by monitoring and probing peer-to-peer (p2p) networks, detailed the top songs, movies, tv shows, and artists of the year.
The top artists were:
2. T-Pain
3. Akon
4. 50 Cent
5. R. Kelly
6. Lil Wayne
7. Justin Timberlake
8. Fergie
9. Ludacris
10. Snoop Dogg
Some may notes that Radiohead was absent from this list. While their album,
In Rainbows
released as a choose-your-price download
made a
big splash
in terms of a statement, even its relatively strong downloads of a couple million were not enough to compare to the massive p2p traffic for the year.
The top songs of year were:
1. Shop Boyz, "Party Like A Rock Star"
2. Akon, "I Wanna Luv U"
3. Sean Kingston, "Beautiful Girls"
4. Mims, "This Is Why I'm Hot"
5. Akon, "Don't Matter"
6. T-Pain, "Bartender"
7. Soulja Boy, "Crank Dat Soulja Boy"
8. Justin Timberlake, "My Love"
9. DJ Unk, "Walk It Out"
10. Jim Jones, "We Fly High"
For the movies, the following items topped the list:
Resident Evil: Extinction
Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
American Gangster
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The only possible surprise here is that
Pirates 3
was not the most pirated movie!
Finally, the top TV shows were:
1. "Heroes"
2. "Prison Break"
3. "Top Gear"
4. "Smallville"
5. "Desperate Housewives"
6. "House, M.D."
7. "Lost"
8. "Grey's Anatomy"
9. "24"
10. "Dexter"
This lists adds an interesting perspective when looking at the
NBC/iTunes drama
. It illustrates the runaway success of NBC's heroes and how much of a hit Apple will take if NBC decides to eventually sever its month to month contract. However, it also shows that most of the rest of the top content is on Fox and ABC, so iTunes may be able to get by with just these offerings.
The year of 2007 was certainly a wild one for p2p and torrents, with the RIAA scoring a
landmark jury verdict of $222,000 in damages against working mom Jammie Thomas
, p2p defending
hackers attacking the RIAA
, confessions that
Comcast throttles p2p traffic
, and Swedish based torrent leader
The Pirate Bay's admins facing criminal charges
. One can only guess the escapades that 2008 may have in store for the
millions of web-pirates
out there.

Woke up from a bad dream. My gun locker was forced open and all the guns were stolen. Got me to thinking. Should my guns be listed and insured separately on my homeowners policy? Anyone do that?
Printable View
Woke up from a bad dream. My gun locker was forced open and all the guns were stolen. Got me to thinking. Should my guns be listed and insured separately on my homeowners policy? Anyone do that?
I have mine covered on my home owners. I think up to $2500 is automatically covered on my Statefarm homeowners policy here in Texas. I pay like $6 a year extra to cover up to $5k in firearms. They won't go above $5k. After that, U have to insure guns seperately at a prorated fee depending on their value. And, that would only cover theft and not fire.
But, if ya have under $5k worth, ya need only worry about the extra few dollars a year. Now, this is Texas - Statefarm operates a bit differently in each state due to different laws in each state.
I was told I just needed the receipt and the owners manual to make a claim. I have the receipts and manuals locked up in my bank box.
You might sleep better if you upgrade to a safe and bolt it in the floor. If they really want your guns they will take them, we need to make it harder on them and the longer it takes and the more noise they make evens the playing field and their changed of getting caught are greater. I sleep like a baby now and I don't worry about leaving the home. I do have a brand new home with a alarm which is also nice. I also have a 10 pound dog name billy bad ass and will go right for your ankles.
Yes you need to. I have to have serial numbers. So I took pictures of all my guns and put them on a cd along with the value of them and date bought. I have a copy and three of my daughters have copies.
It would not hurt to insure them, but it would also help to secure the locker and alarm the room around them.
Thanks for the replies. I do have the serial numbers recorded and photos. Will call my agent for a rider add-on.
Thought I'd resurrect this thread. Any new thoughts regarding listing weapons on a homeowners policy? My concern is whether this is a record that could be used against you in some way. I do maintain photos and serial numbers in secure files.
Thanks in advance for any input.
I don't know how many firearms you have but I have a considerable number. I tried to go the insurance route and found it prohibitively expensive. I have a friend who is a collector and he actually has a concrete vault with steel bank door to protect his firearms but no insurance. Too expensive. I had a new Colt Gold Cup pistol stolen once and the insurance covered it, but that was one pistol, not a collection. I advise you to document and photograph everything and keep receipts and put them in safe deposit box. A gun vault tied to the floor will be your best bet to protect the firearms and make sure you have a good home security system. Get a dog. Crooks don't like dogs. And keep a firearm handy incase someone decides rob you. We have all that, and when we are away or traveling I have a good friend house sit so the house is not empty. I kind of see it as a threshold issue where you add layers until you are comfortable with the security. But most important, don't advertise that you have firearms. I don't even tell friends what I have as they could inadvertently tell someone else who isn't a friend. Good luck to you.
Listing our guns on our homeowners' policy was much less expensive than buying gun-specific insurance of any kind.

That's right, a month from today and SolidWorks World 2013 will be over. Five-thousand attendees will be heading back from whence they came, probably exhausted and, thankfully, I'll be one of them.
This year I'm going to try to get to more breakout sessions, so that I can then report about them. It seems like it's been years since I've actually sat in on one. There always seems to be a partner to meet, a press event to attend or some other such thing. While I do have requests in to meet with some SolidWorks employees, and I do plan on pestering partners to be able to review their offerings, I want to get back into the sessions and see if they've changed at all. To see if there's a different vibe to them. To make sure people are still walking away as enthused as they have in years gone by.
With SWW heading into it's 15th year, I wonder how it still sustains. What is it that keeps bringing people back? I'm going to have to figure out a way to answer that question. I know why I keep going back, I just wonder if my reasons are the same as other people's reasons. Having not gone last year, I'm especially excited for this one. I love being able to meet up with people with whom I have an online "relationship". Friends from other blogs, forums, Twitter, Facebook. It's always nice to be able to sit down and talk with them, especially with those from outside the US.
This post seems a little disjointed. Probably because I feel like I'm coming down with a cold and I'm having a bit of an issue keeping my thoughts on track. It would probably help, too, if I weren't trying to pay attention to the abysmal performance of the New England Patriots.

French students have always been engaged in the fight for human rights so it is not surprising they are standing up for the rights of oppressed Roma people. Thousands of students in Paris and throughout the nation rose up in anger at the deportation of a Roma high school students. Fifteen year old Leonarda Dibrani was detained and deported back to Kosovo with her family in an example of disregarding human rights. The Socialist party is divided since many believe it is the historic responsibility for France to respect human rights even though it means allowing a foreigner to remain in the country without legal right to be present. The students shouted: "Leonarda isn't going to class, nor are we."
This is shocking. The Roma girl, no, the human girl, was going to school, working hard and on the path to becoming a responsible citizen. Enough with "rules," let us respect human dignity!

: Need some clarification about coconut oil, aloe, and jojoba oil
Pretty new to CG and just discovered I'm protein sensitive. I know some ingredients that are definitely proteins but I'm not sure about a few others.
Aloe? I believe aloe has protein but want to be sure that's correct.
Jojoba oil? I think I read somewhere this should be the only oil with protein.
Coconut oil? I know people can be sensitive to it and I'm wondering if it's because it has protein.
Please help! Thanks!

Or Vidcoder, which is a Handbrake with a simpler interface. Which I presume has an ipod touch setting like handbrake. HAven't used it.
Also, I've found the new version of handbrake buggy. I'm going to try a (hopefully) newer build later today.
Either is miles better than freemake. I uninstalled it from my older laptop and it is not getting anywhere near my newer one.
I'm converting the .mkv file on a PC. When the video finishes converting from freemake, the video is green, even on the ipod touch. Maybe its the codecs inside the .mkv file because some .mkv files, I could actually convert with no problems. It's just this particular batch of files having problems rendering.
Can you upload a short sample from the problematic batch for someone/me to convert?
codecs messed up

Delicate Nashville singers been done wrong by country air
Page Tools
New York: It may be the capital of country music and the town where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan recorded some of their finest tunes, but singing in Nashville is actually a doggone bad idea.
Voice experts and singers say the town, which sits in a humid, heavily forested bowl where pollutants and pollens get trapped in the air, is so unbearable for allergy sufferers that some artists have had to delay their recording sessions or move.
Nashville is one of the US's biggest recording centres and is home to thousands of professional musicians, singers, engineers and producers.
Dr John Overholt, a local allergist, said about 50 of his patients are singers and they all complained of the same things: hoarseness, poor tone and limited vocal range. "They feel they have a lot of trouble hitting the top end," he said.
Dr Gaelyn Garrett, the medical director of Nashville's Vanderbilt Voice Centre, which treats everyone from choir members to stars such as Willie Nelson, confirmed that the biggest problem for most is nasal drainage caused by allergies. "It affects the resonance and the feedback they get when they're singing," he said.
Others have had to take more drastic action. Bryan White, a country singer who says he is allergic to just about everything, said working in Nashville became so difficult that he had to move to California to finish his third album, ironically entitled The Right Place. Melonie Cannon, a bluegrass singer, went to a specialist when she contracted laryngitis in Nashville. He told her: "You are in the wrong profession and in the wrong town with your allergies."'

text: ISIS, a group so radical that they were kicked out of al Qaeda for being too extreme is sweeping a wave of terror across Iraq and Syria, hoping to create a new terrorist state in parts of these two nations. Known for public executions of captured prisoners and other mayhem as well as setting oil wells on fire, there seems to be no good reason or fringe benefits for persons to join such an organization. So have at it Wizbang Pop readers, let hear your best sarcastic humor here and captions about this latest human tragedy.

Pure Function
Hi all,
Similar to hitting CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a cell into pretty format, is
there such a thing to make a defined cell into a pure function.
The reason I am asking is that I implemented the Chudnovsky (I hope I
have that correct) method for calculating the digits of Pi.
Mathematica uses this technique, but when I did timing comparisions,
the Mathematica one blew mine away. I think it has something to do
with the Mathematica being implemented as a compiled procedure or pure
Any suggestions?

Citation: Fuxa, J.R., Sokolova, Y.Y., Milks, M.L., Richter, A.B., Williams, D.F., Oi, D.H. 2005. Prevalence, Spread, and Effects of the Microsporidium Thelohania solenopsae Released into Populations with Different Social Forms of the Red Imported Fire Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Environmental Entomology. 34(5):1139-1149. Interpretive Summary: The red imported fire ant is a stinging ant that infests over 320 million acres in 14 states and causes an estimated $6.5 billion annually in damage, control, and medical expenditures. In the U.S., there is a lack of natural enemies which can suppress populations and mediate the spread of fire ants. In 1996, a South American pathogen, called Thelohania solenopsae, that debilitates fire ant queens and can cause reductions in fire ant populations was found in Florida by scientists from the USDS-ARS Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology in Gainesville, FL (CMAVE). Sustained infections generally occur in areas where fire ant populations are comprised of colonies that contain several queens per colony. However, the predominant fire ant social form in the U.S. has only a single queen per colony. In a cooperative study among scientists at Louisiana State University and CMAVE, T. solenopsae infections in a mixed population of single and multiple-queen fire ant colonies indicated that the social form suffering higher prevalence of the disease decreased proportionally to the other form, possibly indicating a competitive disadvantage. The strongest evidence of disease impact on fire ant populations was a negative correlation between colony numbers versus percentage infection and a sporadic decrease in the number of foraging ants. These results characterized the dynamics of T. solenopsae infections relative to fire ant social form and will help scientists overcome barriers to the widespread establishment of this disease. This pathogen of fire ants has the potential to contribute to the long term suppression of fire ants which will benefit all who are affected by this invasive pest.
Technical Abstract: The microsporidium Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Allen, and Hazard was released into colonies of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, at four field sites in Louisiana. Social form of the ant affected the establishment of the microsporidium; long-term epizootics developed at two sites with predominantly polygyne populations, whereas the pathogen produced a low disease prevalence before it disappeared or did not infect ants at all at two monogyne sites. This study is the first report of artificial infection of monogyne S. invicta field colonies. When the microsporidium became established in mixed monogyne/polygyne ant populations, prevalence rates peaked at >75% in both social forms. In mixed ant populations, the social form suffering higher prevalence of the disease decreased proportionally to the other form, possibly indicating a competitive disadvantage. Host population density or site characteristics may have influenced spread of the disease; the rate of spread was 0.9 m/mo at one epizootic site and reached 9.4 m/mo at the other. There was little seasonal variation in prevalence, which averaged 47% in February, 51% in April/May, and 57% in October/November at the two epizootic sites. The strongest evidence of microsporidian impact on S. invicta populations was a negative correlation between colony numbers versus percentage infection and a sporadic decrease in the number of foragers. There was some evidence of a decrease in the size and number of colonies at one epizootic site and a decrease in brood at the other. This sporadic weakening of the S. invicta populations did not lead to significant immigration of other ant species.

Lorine via e-mail asks:
Do you know of a good audio recorder that I can use? I have tried several and they just don't seem to do the job.
Thanks for the question, Lorine – I love when people ask me this, because it gives me a chance to talk about a great audio recorder called Audacity. It is a program used to edit and enhance audio files – it has so many features, it would be impossible to list them all here.
But, to give you a little taste, a few of the features include recording, cutting and trimming audio files; reducing static and interference, recording custom MP3s, amplifying sounds and mixing audio tracks, among others. It's kind of like a mini recording studio!
I personally use Audacity for mixing audio tracks for videos I record, but there are hundreds of other uses for this program as well.
Also, be sure to check out the add ons for Audacity. They add even more functionality to this awesome free program!
You can download Audacity and all of its add ons right here [1]. Have fun with this one!

Glendale, California 91201, USA
"I love this florist!! Marianne was a dream to work with. The shop itself is in an old gas station, and is just down the street from the Brand Library (my wedding location). Because I was a DIY bride on a budget, I didn't want to go overboard with the flowers. Nor did want them to, uhh, suck. Marianne told me I could save money by going to the LA Flowermart & making my own bridesmaid bouquets, yet save myself the hassle & horror of building the big Bridal Bouquet (the one that actually matters!) by paying HER to do it. Remember, this is my FLORIST telling me this! Made perfect sense to me. She does private bouquet making seminars for a minuscule fee--something UNHEARD of in the wedding business. I had no flower arranging experience whatsoever, but with Marianne's help, they looked really good, if i do say so myself. Even though I didn't really need that much floral arrangement (the bouquets & garlands were all i needed. i got the boutonieres on etsy.com) this florist not only met my needs, but taught me some valuable skills. Also helps that she's such a friendly lady!! I highly recommend this place, esp. if you're a DIY no nonsense bride like myself. http://www.ivysflowerstation.com/station2.htm (Here's a tip about the garland: I got the eucalyptus garland at the LA flowermart. It costed a ridiculous amount of $ to have them put white lilies in it. So i just bought a regular bouquet of lilies, kept them in water until the wedding day, trimmed the stems so they were 6" long, stuck wires in them, and had my helper friends stick the flowers in the garland right before the wedding. You'll see how they looked in the pictures. Perfectly fine, right?)"
Brand Park Garden & Gazebo1601 W Mountain St
Glendale, CA 91201, US
"For how affordable it was, Brand Park was a beautiful place to have our wedding. With a victorian house and quaint gazebo as our backdrop, our guests really enjoyed this garden setting. Because it is owned by City of Glendale, the cost for a permit is less than $500; but you are only allowed a few hours to use the grounds (this includes set-up). This wasn't a problem for us, because all we needed to set up was a garland and the mini PA. Because it is a garden, you don't really NEED that much decor. The groundskeeper sets up the chairs for you. They do allow time for rehearsal a day before the wedding. Having a ceremony with more than 100 guests may be challenging because of the layout of the garden in relation to the gazebo. There is a slightly steep grade about 20 feet away from the gazebo where guests would otherwise sit. The japanese friendship garden several yards away may be a better option for parties of 100 or more. If you can work around those few limitations, this is a great--and affordable--place to have a wedding!!"

WMC Excerpt: Yanar Mohammed, Iraqi Symbol of Freedom and Secularism, Speaks to WHRnet
August 30, 2006
There is no question that Saddam committed terrible atrocities against his own people, in particular the Kurdish populations. People suffered enormously as well as a result of continuous regional wars and the U.S. backed embargo. However, we also have to recognize that during his rule, the society did enjoy some economic prosperity and the benefits of secularism. Forty percent of the public work force was female. Economic independence and high levels of education—free and nationalized—placed Iraqi women in the most privileged status in the Middle East.
Due to progressive movements preceding Sadam, women's status was respected and social freedoms were enjoyed. These movements had forced amendments to reform the family law. Women in cities were professionals, judges, ministers and wore modern, stylish dresses. Professions like acting, art teaching, and banking were crowded with women.
The change happened overnight after the sudden invasion of Iraq. The U.S. occupation authorities dismantled all former security and defense institutions, which gave rise to looting and women being abducted and trafficked across borders, where there was no serious inspection. OWFI held a demonstration on August 24, 2003—a few months after the war—where I wrote an open letter holding the U.S. occupation responsible for the lives of almost 400 Iraqi women who were raped, trafficked, or killed.
Until this very day, the streets are insecure. Militias of religious fundamentalist parties harass women who do not wear the veil and Islamic dress. There were many killings of women professors and officials by these mobs, part of whom are in the government now. In the southern cities, pro-Iran Islamist groups (Badr Brigades) have full political control. The streets have become no-women zones where even the Christians do not dare to walk unveiled. Because of the failure of the public sector, most women lost their jobs. Two years without income have made them revert to a tribal scene, with unemployment among women at 90%, and no social insurance programs.
In the first constitution written for Iraq in 1925, there was no mention of a formal religion. Islam became the religion of the first republic in 1958. Through several changes in the constitution, family law, partly based on Islam, had undergone reform. After the invasion, the U.S. occupation divided the government and parliament seats according to strongly armed and funded political groups in Iraq (mainly Shiite Islamists and Nationalist Kurds), which left women's rights and activists defenseless, marginalized and unheard. In the new constitution, Islamic Sharia was considered the base source of legislation, which aborted decades of feminist struggles in Iraq. The resulting family law will be one that legalizes polygamy, disciplining of women, stoning of adulteresses, and sexual apartheid. The first results were clear with a resolution segregating sexes in the universities and colleges.
Since the beginning of the war, those who refused to be labeled according to their religion and ethnicity were not offered seats in any councils. The secretary of the biggest secular party in Iraq (Iraqi Communist Party) holds a Shiite seat in the governing council. It took two years for this U.S. divisive plan to turn into a civil war where people are being killed based on their sectarian identification.
The atrocities that accompanied the military attack and the lack of security still persist. It has forced women to quit work and keep their daughters away from school. The new Islamist fundamentalist resistance has brought misogynist attacks and Taliban-like methods. Fatwas to marry young girls to Mujahideen in Falluja and Ramadi, thus saving them from "American rape," had caused actual legalized rape for female children as young as 12 years.
The occupation has also turned Iraq into another Islamic republic of Iran, where women are second-rate citizens by law. The U.S. watched the Shiite Islamist political groups apply their backwardness on Iraqi people without the smallest gesture of dismay. But they are unable to force their will on a society that had enjoyed more than half a century of modern civilized life. The notorious U.S. ambassador Khalil Zadeh dared to describe the new constitution as the most democratic one in the "Islamic" world, while 60% of the people (the women) are second-class citizens in social, economic, and political rights. He might as well have celebrated the outbreak of the civil war, or the Balkanization of Iraq.
Unfortunately, misogynist groups have recruited females to represent their agenda and were successful in gaining them the entire female quota in the parliament. The women's organization scene shows all the colors of the spectrum; from the most reactionary who do not want to hear about equality (e.g. Al Mihrab Martyr organization) to the most progressive who have established a free voice of demanding women's rights according to universal standards with no compromise to local religions. The U.S. occupation authorities have made sure to exclude OWFI from their conferences and their highly publicized manipulations called women's events. They have managed to divide women again—based on ethnic, religious, and sectarian lines—and most of the liberal women's groups have fallen apart.
OWFI has decided not to connect with perpetrators of backwardness and misogyny, but rather to look to the broad base of feminist network around the world. So far, OWFI managed to open two shelters for women, publish nine issues of Al Mousawat Newspaper, and train women activists within its ranks. OWFI's most ambitious project at this moment is to start a satellite TV for Women's Freedoms in Middle-Eastern Countries. It will initiate modern libertarian and secular programming to pull society away from the Islamist religious tendencies transmitted by other TV channels that have destroyed the consciousness of Middle-Eastern youth. Amwaj (waves) TV will start new waves of Iraqi and Arab feminism and will work effectively against patriarchal misogyny supported by religion. This women's alternative should be the answer to all evil, misogyny, and bigotry, transmitting waves of militant feminism from Iraq, to cover all the Middle East and to reach the entire world. We hope it echoes back support and empowerment.

With a full roster when the team is healthy, the San Antonio Spurs can't promise players on the bench huge minutes on a nightly basis. With main rotational players taking up most of the 48 minutes in an NBA game, rust and players not developing would be a huge problem if they'd be needed to step up during a major injury. With some faces expected to be returning soon from injury, Spurs fans shouldn't be surprised at younger and newer Spurs spending some time with the Austin Toros to keep fresh and help their game develop as head coach Gregg Popovich explained. "That's what we've been doing. Those young kids need minutes and they'll learn more by playing than sitting on the bench." With the Spurs' core at the end of their careers, the Spurs don't have time to wait for players to develop overseas or sit on the bench for a year and learn like they've had the luxury to do. The Spurs owning the Toros have been a huge help for them already, running their system and schemes so the players can know what to expect in the big leagues with San Antonio. Players playing against each other at practice isn't the same as in a competitive game and the Spurs are showing they know that with this smart move. This move will be more to the benefit of Nando De Colo, who'll be coached with the same system that Gregg Popovich teaches on the court and will also learn with the Spurs team at the same time coming off the bench.

WOW, I am so happy to have so many new friends! What a great surprise! Thank you all for contacting me and I'll be sure to make my mom check my catmail often even though she keeps telling me she needs to work to keep me in the lifestyle I've become accustomed to. I don't really know what that means but it's time for me to go take a nap on my down-filled silk comforter ... zzzzzzzzzzzz
I still don't like the wood floors, but I'll deal with them. I'm speaking to Mom again though because she fixed the top floor of my cat condo, so now I can be up where I belong, eye to eye with my people. I just love sitting up on top, surveying all that is mine. Mom can't believe I can haul my 20 lb. self up and over the edge, but like I've demonstrated over and over, I'm NOT fat, I'm muscular and big-boned! And let's not forget handsome. Oh hell, I just rock, and these people are lucky to have me! Time for a little snooze now ...
Mom got new wood floors in every room downstairs in our house. At first I liked to lay on them cuz they were cool and smooth compared to the carpet, and I detest heat. BUT, the first time I tried my favorite mad dash from one end of the house to the other (and I can pick up some speed, man), making a hard right into the downstairs powder room and hiding from my mom, I found out that wood floors do not have any traction! I went skidding into the powder room, hit the floor rug and sent it flying, and ended up in a heap against the wall. I'm not speaking to Mom right now.

Symposium Delegates Call for Joining Forces to Counter Normalization
By Musalam Kanafani
Participants at the "Arab Symposium to Counter Normalization with the Zionist Enemy," which concluded its proceedings in Amman late Tuesday, proposed the formation of "one Arab front to resist normalization," among other recommendations based on the rejection of normal relations between the Arab World and Israel.
The Amman's meeting came under the banner "Resisting normalization is a religious and pan-national duty." Panelists called for conducting studies that expose the "discriminative nature of Zionism and the Israeli school curricula."
An array of Arab and foreign intellectuals and politicians, including the French scholar Roget Garodi, took part in the two-day forum. They voiced "their absolute refusal of the peace treaties [between Israel and Arab states] and the ongoing peace negotiations."
The panelists called on the Jordanian government to release Ahmad Daqamseh, the soldier who killed seven Israeli young women in 1997, and is serving a life sentence.
Jordan was also asked to allow the return of the Hamas leaders who were deported to Qatar last year.
At the Arab level, the symposium urged institutions of the civil society not to accept financial assistance from foreign sources, and urged Arab states to reconsider legislations that "facilitate foreign domination of national economies."
In the last session of the meeting, three Arab anti-normalization activists presented their countries' experiences with fighting against normalization with Israel.
In his paper, Bassam Shakaa, former mayor of the Palestinian city of Nablus, stressed that "normalization is a Zionist motto inherent in bilateral peace agreements," aimed at transforming the attitude of the targeted Arab peoples from hostility and conflict to that of "succumbing to the Zionist entity."
Shakaa, who lost his legs in a bomb planted by Israeli extremists in his car in 1980, said that for the first time an anti-normalization committee has been formed in the occupied territories, to promote awareness among the people and play a role in the national revival in Palestine.
Head of the anti-normalization committee at Jordan's professional associations Ali Abu Sukkar said in his presentation that "normalization is one of the most dangerous objectives of the peace process," explaining that "it's the key and the gateway to penetrate the Islamic world, and dominate its [political] decision and material and human resources."
The Egyptian experience with fighting normalization with the Jewish state was the topic discussed by Mustafa Bakri, editor-in-chief of the Osbou newspaper.
Bakri emphasized that the conspiracy of normalization of Arab-Israeli relations and the international embargo imposed on Iraq are two sides of the same coin.
Head of Jordanian Writers' Associations, Fakhri Kawar, told Albawaba.com that the symposium has achieved a number of goals, with a focus on practical steps to be taken in the direction of curbing normalization, rather than rhetoric – Albawaba.com

It's no secret at this point that I love CND. Their polishes are amazing and opaque. Their effects can change the look of a polish. And their top coats, base coats, and cuticle products work fabulously.
When I saw these on sale at a local beauty supply, I snatched them up.
Raisin In The Sun and Jade Sparkle.
This is 2 coats of Raisin In The Sun.
Raisin In The Sun is an opaque, shiny, red based brown creme.
It does seem a shade darker on the nail than it is in the bottle.
It's incredibly opaque.
This is 1 coat of Jade Sparkle over Raisin In The Sun. Isn't that amazing?
Jade Sparkle is a green shimmer polish that changed the look of Raisin In The Sun.
I'm a huge fan of the effect. I love that you can change the way a polish looks with just one coat.
I think this polish pulls more green on other colors. Here, it looks a bit more yellow.
As always, the CND brush rocks and the wear on this was great!
Don't forget my Franken FAQ is tomorrow!

I am writing on behalf of the staff at Insights Teen Parent Program, our client Michelle Fischer and the other thousand-plus young families Ñ both housed and homeless Ñ who we serve every year in Multnomah County.
We were angry and disappointed after reading the story 'Their baby, your money' (Dec. 14). This so-called 'news' story about a homeless, parenting young family was both lacking in compassion and obviously judgmental, beginning with the headline.
Our hope is that the readers of the Portland Tribune are not lacking in compassion and are able to see the many accomplishments already achieved by this young family. The services and support that Michelle, Chad and their new baby, Zane, are receiving, are creating success for their young family.
Despite the couple's past choices, they are resourceful, joyful parents who are doing as much as they can to provide for their baby.
With prevention and intervention services, the generational cycle of abuse can end with Michelle, and baby Zane will not be punished because Michelle and Chad, two previously homeless teenagers, happen to be his parents.
We strongly disagree with the position of the Cascade Policy Institute's John Charles, who believes that a homeless teen family is a problem brought about by a welfare state. Rather, it is our experience that having services for people in need neither influences nor decides the life choices that they make. An individual's choice is much more likely to be influenced by family history and opportunity than by services that are paid for by taxpayers.

These parents needed a mentor
I know anyone can be down on their luck, but I was saddened at the comments made by Michelle Fischer and Chad Lombard (Their baby, your money, Dec. 14).
Fischer 'relies on food stamps, $427 a month in state welfare and the good will of others to pay their bills.' She is described as 'not one to follow anyone else's rules.' This could be why she's in this situation. Fischer is not tough, strong-willed or determined. She has learned to be a user, and work the system.
For Lombard to make the comments 'services are here for the taking,' and 'This town is a lot easier to be homeless in,' speaks volumes to his character.
Why should we as taxpayers keep paying for their lack of responsibility? Still, Fischer and Lombard probably never had mentors or some place to go for guidance, and while telling them now to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and ask for God's guidance is good in theory, the actual answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Someone foots bill for 'free' medical care
Wouldn't it be perfect if the United States had free medical care? One small problem: Who would pay for it? There is no free medical care anywhere in the world Ñ the taxpayers foot the bill.
It seems to me that Michelle Fischer did receive free care to the tune of $3,800 (Their baby, your money, Dec. 14). I hope when she grows up to be a responsible, working taxpayer she will reimburse the state the $3,800.

Closing Northeast YMCA was unfair
I went to both hearings that YMCA board members held to explain the closing of the Northeast Portland Y (Is YMCA a sinking ship?, Dec. 10). We heard that the Northeast YMCA cannot sustain itself from membership fees and that not enough money can be raised to renovate and expand it, something the majority of the members never asked for.
Attendees at both open meetings pleaded with Jeff Spere and Bob Hall to keep the Northeast YMCA open. Many offered to raise money, donate money and accept higher membership fees.
Spere responded that the required $6 million to $7 million cannot be raised, that increasing dues would only reduce membership, and that the YMCA, after all, operates in the black.
Spere was asked during one of the meetings if the Northeast YMCA already had a prospective buyer, to which he responded with a clear 'no.' We then learned from news reports that offers had been made, and that there are other issues, such as the damaged roof of the Metro Y, that caused a loss of membership and financial difficulties. How are we to get rid of the nagging feeling that the real reason for the planned sale of the only east-side YMCA is to bail out other facilities?

ESPN couldn't stop blabbing about Irish
Oregon State crushed Notre Dame and made us all proud. However, I was offended by the ESPN coverage and the nonstop talk about Notre Dame.
They showed us the Notre Dame crowd, cheerleaders, mascot, etc., and talked forever about the coaching situation. The Beavers kicked butt, and we didn't get to see our fans, mascot, etc., because it was all about the Fighting Irish.
When will the West Coast and the Pac-10 get some respect?

We're hearing from sports fans around the world interested in booking flights to Sochi for the Winter Olympics in Russia (Feb. 7 – 23, 2014), and if you're one of them, the time to act is now.
Why you need winter and summer clothes in Sochi
Listen as travel expert Rick Seaney explains the ins-and-outs of flying to Sochi:
How to Fly to Sochi
Air travel expert Rick Seaney has some advice for travelers: "Flying to Sochi almost always requires transiting via the major hub cities of Moscow, Frankfurt or Istanbul and there are limited flight choices," which are as follows:
- Aeroflot – part of the SkyTeam Alliance (other members: Delta, Air France, KLM and more)
- Lufthansa – part of the Star Alliance (other members: United, US Airways, Air Canada and more)
- Turkish Airlines – also part of the Star Alliance
When to Shop, What to Pay
"You need to be shopping now," said Seaney, and be prepared for at least a couple of stops along the way. He added that right now ticket prices from the U.S. range from about $1,500 to $1,800 round-trip. As this is an event of great international interest, don't look for last-minute discounts. And, as always, you must compare prices to find the best deals to Sochi, Russia.
Caution to Travelers
Do-it-yourself trip planners should be cautious if making arrangements for flights in and out of Moscow since the city is home to three major airports. As one Russia-bound traveler told FareCompare, "Imagine landing at [Southern California's] Burbank airport only to find your connecting flight leaves from Los Angeles International."
Another word of caution: We have seen reports suggesting hotel rooms in Sochi are getting increasingly scarce so be sure you have a place to stay before finalizing all your trip details.
And don't forget to check availability of tickets for your favorite Olympic event.
World Cup Fans Can Book Now, Too
And on the topic of international sporting events, this is a good time to remind World Cup fans that they too can start booking for tickets to Brazil. The games aren't until June 2014, but waiting to book is unlikely to result in any airfare bargains.

The LG Revolution 2 is expected to come to market with a 4.5 inch screen and a dual-core processor under the hood. The first-gen LG Revolution has a 4.3 inch display with resolution of 480 x 800 and a single core Qualcomm MSM8655 1GHz processor aboard. It might seem strange to offer up a sequel so soon after the release of the original model, but it is obvious that LG and Verizon don't see the LG Revolution in its current configuration as being able to compete with Big Red's upcoming models like the Motorola DROID BIONIC, the HTC Vigor and the Samsung Stratosphere which so far is just a high spec'd name on a leaked roadmap.

ac keeps blowing the 5 amp fuse
replace the transformer,fan control board,capacitor,and contactor on condensing unit, once the fuse is replaced the unit will work for a couple of hours and then will blow the fuse again:(:(
Which fuse ? where is that fuse located ?
the fuse is the 5 amp fuse located on the control board on the air handler this board is for the fan
You need to provide more data. AC unit is ...... Window unit, Central air, hitachi ventless?
5 amp fuse keeps blowing out
this is acentral,240 voltsunit , carrier 2 ton r 22 about 11 years old
carrier 2 ton central air split system 11 years old
Do you have any schematics, I, right now am fighting my own AC issues, my condenser unit has no pcbs, no fuses, and no transformers. I need to know at least model, mfg, to check online.
Fellow Houstonian? Welcome.
Hey Doc,
I'm a TX transplant. Love TX, never leaving.
Lived here my entire life. What side of town are you in?
My post is 4m205j, what do you think?
remove the stat off the subbase...disconnect the 24V wires out to the condenser at the condenser power up the air handler again with new 5A and then jump first R to G does it blow? then R over to Y does it blow?
Nice area up north but not being Houston City limits I've found a lot of code violations in homes out there. Not trying to scare you, just so you're aware. Get yourself a drain pan condensate float safety switch for your inside unit. It's required in the city but most homes out there don't have them. It'll protect your ceiling or floor from water damage and let you know when your a/c has a drain restriction. Down here you're drain will be flowing full time with the amount of humidity in the air.
They only cost maybe $20 and are very easy to install.
Doc, sounds like good advice, don't have to worry about the drip pan until I can run the ac, please check my post.

Europe's Recovery Hinges on Key Votes
Elections in Germany and Italy Complicate Continent's Efforts to Overcome Struggling Economy
Elections this year in two of the euro-zone's largest countries—Germany and Italy—cast a shadow over the Continent's politics and complicate needed overhauls of the currency union.
As the euro zone this week enters its fourth year of a debt crisis and the economic woes of Greece and Spain continue apace, much work is needed to heal the Continent's economy and ensure the euro's viability.

Windy-Day Turkey Hunting
There are days when it doesn't pay to get dressed in full camo clothing. Today was one, if a guy really decided he didn't want to hunt turkeys.
I got up in the darkness, leaving a warm and comfortable bed, and could hear the wind whistling outside. My eyes were wide open, my ears cocked toward the bedroom window which I reached up and opened, and I'm having a private battle with myself.
One part of me was clamoring: "You fool, it's impossible to shoot a gobbler while laying in bed. Get up, and get out there into the woods. Your last days of the pring turkey hunting ends Sunday evening. Forget the weather and get on with it."
The other part of me, the logical side of my brain, was arguing the other side of this problem. "That may well be true, but tell me when have you had a good turkey hunting day in really windy weather? Huh? Answer that one."
It was a standoff. Both sides of the problem had some valid points, and both sides had a strike or two against them. Both made sense, in a rather twisted kind of way, and the final decision simply had to be made by the guy laying in in a comfy bed.
Recognizing the problem, I made my decision. I rolled over, closed my eyes, dozed and dreamed of a fanned-tail gobbler marching to the call like a good little soldier. He came, head-up, wary and looking around, and I woke up again just as the Day-Glow bead was settling on his noggin. Why do dreams always end at the most critical point?
It was still dark, but graying up toward dawn. My watch said 5:45 a.m., and I decided to let my ears do some work for a change. If I heard a bird gobble, I'll hit the deck moving, climb into my camo, grab my shotgun and hunting vest, and head out to greet the dawn.
I laid there for almost an hour, and heard some robins and other song birds outside, but not one gobble was heard. Up I come, jumped rather slowly into my pants and shirt, and went out for the morning paper. I'm listening with both ears cocked, hopefully in two different directions, desperate to hear a gobbler sound off from yonder woods.
No such luck today. The paper was eased out of the tube, and I stood there for 20 minutes in 40-degree windy weather and listened. I can hear a gobbler a mile away, so I'm covering nearly four square miles with my ears.
There was nothing but the sound of wind whistling through the trees. I spotted a doe, her belly heavy with fawns, cross the road a quarter-mile upwind as I stood motionless and silent. The old girl moved rather sluggishly, and it was apparent this year's littler of fawns would soon be born.
In the house I go, my mind now on the next Detroit Red Wings game. That line of thinking made me happy, and I began having turkey hunting thoughts again.
My mind conjured up many past turkey hunts, in my younger days when time was limited and I hunted regardless of the weather. Thinking back, I've shot a couple of gobblers in a heavy rain when they looked like giant two-legged, water-logged rats coming through the timber to the call.
I recall once when I called a great gobbler up to me in a snowstorm, and many are the days when the sky dawned clear with a chilly bite to the air, and the birds gobbled their brains out before flying down and working their way rapidly to the call.
There were days when the Toms roared, and days when they snuck in as silent as drifting fog. Some of those days I shot a gobbler, other times my wife did, and on many occasions, whoever was hunting with me popped a cap and took a grand longbeard as he raised his head to look things over. Today, however, the birds were playing a shut-mouth game. They weren't talking to anyone, including themselves.
I've also hunted enough to know that some of this turkey hunting business, and the weather conditions we encounter during the season, can be rather meaningless. For every rule, there seems to be an exception.
The rule holds true with many things. Normally, I would have been out there looking for gobblers that don't gobble. It's mighty difficult to really get cranked up, but I donned my clothing, grabbed my venerable Model 870 Remington, stuffed three magnum loads of No. 5 shot into the old cornshucker, and headed back out into the cold morning air.
I moved often, called sparingly, covered a mile of terrain, and never saw or heard a gobbler or hen. Once, I thought I heard a hen mouthing off at my calls from a long way away, and moved in that direction.
I gave it a few minutes of rest, and tried again, now about 200 yards closer to where I thought I heard the hen. I tried calling again, hoping for some word from a tired old gobbler who still had enough starch left in him to want to breed another hen.
No such luck. What I took to be a hen call may have been the wind or just wishful thinking, but nothing came to the call during this morning's wind. However, there is tomorrow and with luck the wind will die and the gobblers will gobble.
One can always hope.
