Okay, so there isn't a homecoming queen in this post, but I couldn't help but to reference the Monkees at any given chance — even though I was born in the 80's.
Before we even began our house hunting search, we (well, mostly me) started collecting photos, floor plans, and house related clippings of what we wanted in our future house. One thing that always caught my eye, and still does, is kitchen banquette seating. I had seen banquette seating in magazines and movies but a few years ago, I saw it in person in a Martha Stewart KB Home model in Cary, North Carolina (after graduating from college, Greg and I toyed with the idea of moving there). I immediately fell in love with the idea and simply "had to have it" in my future home. I still have the photo I took that day…
Banquette seating, large windows, open shelving, crisp white wainscoting… swoon! From that day on, I started a file called "Banquette Seating" on my computer and collected photos to use as inspiration when we purchased our first home. Sadly, we don't have an area for this but it's okay to daydream, right? Here are my top 6 favorite inspiration photos from the file…
This image found on Decor Pad is one of my very first banquette seating inspiration images. Can't you imagine having your morning coffee here?! The semetrical art work, sconces and flanking cabinetry tie everything together so nicely. The chandelier makes a huge statement without being too overpowering. I also love the powder blue walls. Heavenly!
This picturesque setting is in the home of textile designer LuLu De Kwiatkowski (image via Lonny Mag). I love the pairing of the crisp white bead board and the rustic farm table as well as the addition of the graphic print pillows. I also covet all of the natural lighting!
In this room, Martensen Jones Interiors took what could have been an awkward flex space in this beautiful kitchen and turned it into a perfect, what I like to call, "coffee nook". The carrara marble table top ties in with the countertop and backsplash. By using the same material, this really ties in the two "zones".
Surrounded by white cabinetry, backsplash and countertops, the gray and white striped fabric on the banquette seating in this kitchen (Gast Architects) is the perfect touch of whimsy! I also love how the black table in front of the banquette seating adds some needed depth and helps ground the room. A perfect combination of light and dark!
Yes, another white kitchen! Ya'll should know by now that I have an obsession with white kitchens. Moving on… This kitchen by Jennifer Dryer (image via Lonny Mag) is another great example of using a potentially awkward space and transforming it into a perfectly thought out nook. This would be a great little space for kids (or in our case, Bentley) to hang out while we cook. The extra storage under the seating is a plus too. Oh, I envy this kitchen!
If there were a photo with practically all of my current obsessions… this one would be it. Neutral gray fabric, tufted banquette seating, wing back chairs, a pop of color by way of a simple floral arrangement, typography artwork, gobs of coffee table books… what do I NOT love about this photo? Nothing! Simply put, Kishani Perera outdid herself.
So there you have it… my top 6 favorite inspiration photos for banquette seating. Even though we don't have a place for it in our house, a little daydreaming eye candy never hurts.
Just because I can't get the song out of my head now, I must close with a tribute to one of my favorite Monkees songs:
Are you daydreaming about a certain architectural feature you long to have in your home? We'd love to hear your daydreaming stories…

" Manufacturer: Sainsbury's / Type: Fruit Juice "
This Sainsbury's apple juice is part of their basic range so the packaging is a very unattractive orange and white combination. It is a from concentrate apple juice and is located in the supermarket non-alcoholic drinks section by the squash and bottled water. The cartons can be purchased individually or in packs of 4 and they are considerably cheaper than juices found in the chilled section of the supermarket.
This apple juice is from concentrate and not fresh but in this case there is no way I would be able to tell the difference between the two. The juice is refreshing and best served cold. It is very clear and not at all cloudy. It also tastes nice when mixed with lemonade.
I always tend to buy more expensive varieties of some fruit juices like orange as the cheaper versions can be acidic however this never seems to be the case with apple juice so, in my opinion, there is no reason to spend the extra money on the chilled alternatives (unless you want to appear more classy to other shoppers when unloading your shopping on the conveyor belt!).
I enjoy a nice glass of apple juice and one of the cheapest ones I have tried has been Sainsbury's Basics Apple Juice. It's really cheap compared to the branded juices and a litre carton only costs 64p. The packaging is very plain and simple - basically a white carton with the familiar Sainsbury's orange writing on the front and a little carton drawing of an apple with juice dripping from it.
The taste of this juice is great. It's a good golden colour and great if it is drunk ice cold and straight from the fridge. It's a great drink to have not just for breakfast but really at any time of the day. It's a juice the whole family can enjoy and or little lad loves it.
I have found that it's also really great on a hot summer's day with some crushed ice in a tall glass and a couple of straws in it. The taste is crisp and fresh and not as sweet as I had imagined. It is thirst quenching and very moreish and I really cannot fault this juice at all. I had expected it to taste slightly weak with it being a basic range product, but in actually fact is doesn't taste weak at all - the taste of apples is tasty and refreshing and I feel very 'healthy' when I drink this with my Sugar Puffs for breakfast and I include it as one of my five a day.
Great stuff and thoroughly recommended.
I like to sit down and have a glass of Fruit Juice with my breakfast, but recently Breadkfast has been on the run, so I am gulping my Juice and Toast down while doing 101 other things. Still I make sure I have Breakfast - not that this should just be drank at Breakfast time, but I assume that Fruit Juice is more a morning thing in a way.
I have tried quite a few of the cheaper Supermarket ones as well as the normal Supermarket labels as well as the brand named ones, but I feel that the cheaper ones can just be as nice as a brand one. Also since they are cheaper then it's good to save a bit money.
This comes in a 1 litre carton and this cost me 63p when I bought it last about 2 weeks ago. The carton doesn't look all that interesting, but what basic brand does? The carton is a white colour with orange writing on it. So not colourful but it's about what is inside the Carton that counts anyway.
There isn't much to say about the taste of this Juice. It's just a simple Apple Juice. This tastes nice and fresh and quite sweet, but I don't feel that this is overly sweet - just a nice taste with a little tang to it. It just is a crisp taste which is nice and refreshing. Per 100ml this has 44 calories which is pretty average for the type of Juice.
I have to say I do find a difference in the taste of this compared to a main brand named version of Apple Juice. This tastes a little bit weaker and I wouldn't say this seems to be watered down, but it just seems a little thinner on flavour, but I wouldn't say that this is a bad Juice, it's flavour is what I would expect in a way from a cheaper version of Juice.
I would recommend a try of this if you are trying to watch the pennies a bit.
If your part of the crew that follow the belief that all products are the same but with different packaging then you will love this apple juice.
It costs below 60p for a standard size 1litre box, which is filled with apple juice from concentrate. The box says from around the world so its a mixture of apples. It doesnt taste synthetic at all and is very refreshing.
The packaging is very dull with the standard sainsburys basics colours of white and orange. The juice itself is very tasty, quite sweet, not cloudy and no bits. It really tastes the same as other sainsburys juice. Although its not as great as something like innocent juice it will definately do for breakfast and for buying in bulk for the family.
It has quite a lot of sugar in, although it does provide 1 of your 5 a day if you have quite a big glass of it. I buy it as it is cheaper than all the other brands in the shop. The only difference is that it doesnt have a cap opening, you have to cut off the corner of the box.
I like apple juice but don't often buy it thesedays. That's because last time I bought some, I felt ill afterwards with a stomach ache which I think was down to finishing off a carton of apple juice that was on the turn having started to ferment.
As with any Apple Juice, it needs to be drunk fresh and whilst for most drinks you can safely apply a degree of latitude to recommendations when it comes to drinkability, this isn't the case with apple juice which starts to deteriorate once it is opened.
Storage should be in the fridge and it doesn't keep well at all.
Although therefore I am not a connoisseur by any means, I bought a carton of this Basics Apple Juice yesterday. We have been drinking lots of juice lately. We don't always buy it, but always make sure we have some in when we have visitors to stay. Between us we had quaffed all last weekend's supplies and it was time to restock so, undecided when faced with such a choice, I plumped for this cheap juice at only 65p for a litre carton.
I like the way Sainsbury's don't pretend that their basic products are anything other than that and this one is very plainly packaged in the usual tetrapak.
I put it in the fridge for a couple of hours when we got back from the shop to chill it and then tried a glassful, having first inverted the carton before opening. It looks like strong urine, but was pleasantly refreshing, although rather sweet. I could almost feel the juice clinging to my gnashers and half an hour later, I could still feel a film of what I imagined was nasty sugars attacking my tooth enamel so I went to brush my teeth.
Looking at the ingredients, it does seem as if this is rather high in sugar content at a hefty 20.8 grams per 200ml serving, putting it way into the red zone on the traffic light labelling. That's over 100g per carton and if you think of 100g as being the standard weight measure of a bag of weigh out sweets thesedays, then that is really an over-indulgence, so like many fizzy drinks this juice is best drunk in moderation. The same 200ml serving will provide you with 88 calories.
Like most apple juices on the market, this is made from apple concentrate and to me it tasted fine. If you have kids and like to give them individual drinks with their packed lunch, I note that this Basics Apple Juice can be bought in a multipack of 9 x 250ml packs for only £1.16, equivalent to only 13p each, so this is quite a cost-effective way of getting one of your 5 a day down the little bleeder's neck.
I'll give it a generous 4 stars - it's perfectly palatable and would be a good choice for those on a tight budget.
I do like a nice glass of apple juice in the morning, and when I came across Sainsbury's Basics Apple Juice recently I thought I'd give it a go. I've tried quite a few of the 'basics' range from Sainsbury's and most of the products are quite nice.
The basics range is really easy to spot, it stands out from the other products available. The range is packaged in white and orange and is rather, well, basic looking, but that's not a bad thing, considering how much packaging some products use.
The apple juice retails at 56p for 1 litre and is only available at Sainsbury's.
The nutritional information is as follows per 200ml serving:
88 calories
0.2g fat
trace saturated fat
trace salt
20.8g sugar
While this does provide one of your 5 a day, please be aware that it is rather high in sugar, so drink in moderation and remember tooth care!
The packaging contains all the regular information with regards to storage instructions, refrigeration guidelines, it is freezable which is good to know (make the kids ice lolly's in summer).
As for the taste, well it tastes exactly the same as Sainsbury's regular apple juice, I am unable to tell the difference. I was expecting to notice even a slight difference, but no, its definitley the same. Its nice appley, refreshing, not too sweet and not too tart.
Its now on my shopping list on a regular basis. Give it a try especially if you like apple juice.
I love juices and in this weather that we're having at the moment I'm really getting through them and because I am I have been trying to cut down costs and purchase cheaper options whenever I can.
This Sainsbury's one costs 56p for a 1 litre size and to me that seemed to offer excellent value for money so I purchased a couple of them and popped them in the fridge!
The Packaging:
1 litre white and orange coloured cardboard carton. On the front of it I am told that it is Sainsbury's Basic Apple Juice 'From concentrate fresh around the world' and there is a scribbled on picture of an apple dripping it's juice on there. Other information given on the carton includes being told a bit about the product, ingredients are listed as well as a full nutritional chart being shown, the size is stated and contact details for Sainsbury's are given.
The Juice Itself:
Light golden colour and thin and transparent, pour it and it does smell of fresh and juicy apples. It isn't too sweet though and certainly isn't one bit sour and it is best served cool/cold in my opinion.
It is a good quality juice to be fair to it and I have had no issues with it at all and I think this offers value for money! Nice juice!
Nutritional Information Per 250ml Serving:
Calories: 5
Fat: Trace
Saturated Fat: Trace
Salt: Trace
Total sugars: 0.8g
Only available in Sainsbury's.
I am a regular drinker of squashes and I like nothing more than a nice glass of fruit juice in the morning as it makes a nice change. I don't mind if it is a cheap or expensive juice, generally I'll just drink whatever is on offer providing it's cold and relatively refreshing.
It comes in a standard fruit juice carton which you need to cut one corner off. It's cheap packaging but then it's a cheaper price so I don't mind this at all. Take care when cutting it as it's fairly easy for it to spill out when first being poured. The carton can be recycled which is always good.
This juice has no pulp and is completely smooth. It's a weak orange kind of colour and is quite transparent. It is quite tangy and does taste quite like apples without being too much. It is fairly sugary and I do feel like too much gives me a slight film on my teeth. A carton of this normally lasts just a couple of days with me & my other half drinking it and I would advise drinking it within 5 days in order to enjoy it at it's best.
100ml of this juice has 44 calories and 10.4g of sugars and it's a shame that the sugars is so high in this drink otherwise I would drink it more often! I believe this sugar occurs naturally in the fruit and for this reason I've cut back on my fruit juice drinking because I like my teeth!! The Tesco version has slightly higher sugars (1g per 100ml) and slightly more calories (3 more per 100ml) so this is definitely my first choice as it's the same price.
It is available for 56p from Sainsbury's for a 1 litre carton which is fantastic value for money and can't be faulted really.
This juice is nice and tangy and perfect as part of a nice smoothie, I really enjoy drinking it and would definitely recommend it. It's a delicious juice that children will love to, I would have liked a little more apple taste there but it's pretty good and for this reason I am rating it 4/5.
This is 'Sainsburys' finest apple juice, brought to you for just 56p and probably the best tasting value for money apple juice you can buy!
The packaging isn't anything special, and is part of 'Sainsburys' 'basics' range. They don't need to put time into the packaging because you know what you are getting, or at least are made to believe by the average Joe in the street that the 'basics' range is cheap, low quality products that are as good as the price you pay for them.
Well I disagree.
People may choose these just because they are watching their shopping bill, personally I don't care about the price, I buy this apple juice because it's the best tasting juice in 'Sainsburys'. Some alternative products offer juice that is too sweet, or too bitter. Too thick, too bitty, or two weak, well for me this gets it just right.
The taste is strong but not overpowering and having had a glass you don't get that strong after taste that makes you wish you hadn't bothered to drink it in the first place. In additional it's not watered down and has a good concentration which is what makes the taste so good.
As far as being good for me, it counts towards my five-a-day so when I have a carton open it usually lasts a few days before I reach for another. I'd have to say you get about six tumbler glasses out of this juice so be sure to drink it within it's use by, or consume within date so you don't waste this great tasting juice!
Per 100ml there's just 44 calories, so it will go great with a diet or for anyone that just loves apple juice. The fat content is at 0.1g so this is noting to worry about and salt is just a trace. However, the sugar content is quite high which surprises me seeing as it didn't come through in the taste. Per 100ml there's 10.4g. We can all be conscious of the sugar in our foods, so as I like to enjoy this drink, and will continue to drink it, I tend to have it with my breakfast and be sure to brush my teeth after to reduce the effects of the sugar in the drink. This way I don't feel bad for drinking it.
On the whole you can't really get apple juice better tasting than this and for so cheap! Stock up now, because if it isn't opened it's still go a month or so before it has to be consumed, just keep it in a moderately cool place.
I was in Sainsburys this morning and knew we had no fruit juice at home so I had a look at what was on special offer but when it turned out there were no real offers on juice I realised i didn't have enough money on me to buy any but then I saw a bottle of apple juice with a cheapo Basics label. It was only 56p so I did have enough for juice and I knew it would be ok because I reckon apple juice all tastes the same only the cheaper ones can be less sweet but I still like them.
It comes in a litre plastic bottle that you can keep in the fridge next to the milk.
The juice is nice and if you give it to someone in a glass I don't think they would guess it was so cheap. My mum usually buys one of the big brands and pays about £2 a carton so she is glad I found this today because she buys 2 or 4 cartons a week.
It is a refreshing glass of juice and tastes like apples not like cider like some cheap apple juice does. My sister doesn't like it cos she said it made her mouth feel furry but she doesn't drink much juice anyway. It is not as sweet as our usual apple juice but i like that because it means it is not as sugery and will not damage my teeth as much as very sweet juice. I always drink mine through a straw to avoid damaging my teeth anyway.
This is good juice for the price and I like it very much because it is as good as the big brands even if it does taste different but different doesnt necessarily mean worse.
*Budgeting assistance required*
Like all people who like to call themselves 'foodies', I can be a little bit too snobbish about foodstuffs and ingredients. There, I said it.
Late last year my girlfriend and I decided to switch out some of the less necessary luxuries in our weekly grocery shop for own brand equivalents. We did this partially as we struggled to keep with a budget and partially because we're obstinate and refused to compromise on those little luxuries that make life fun. Well, it's hardly a sin to enjoy a good bottle of wine of a Friday night, is it?
*Sainsbury's Basics*
Supermarkets have been doing very well as a result of the recession, as it to be expected as families have - or feel they have - less disposable income to hand. Those who keep up to date with the news (or own shares in 'defensive' companies like supermarkets) will have noticed that profits have been healthy for these businesses of late. Much of these profits can be attributed to the growth in popularity of own brand product ranges.
While it is growing, the Sainsbury's Basics range isn't quite as large as the own brand collections found at some of the competition. That said, I've found it to be good quality, from cling film to bacon and these products have become part of our regular shop. I've already reviewed a few of these products and this will be another positive one.
*Wet your whistle with a crisp, refreshing glass of apple juice*
This apple juice is tasty and has a pleasing, crisp edge to it. It's not nearly as acidic as freshly pressed apple juice, which can be a good thing for those of us with grumble prone stomachs! It's very refreshing, doesn't have any bits in it and is perfectly versatile as a cheap daily use product. I don't see myself moving on to another brand, as this one is good to drink and cheap to buy.
*Packaging and price*
In a fit of cleverness, Sainsbury's have made this available in either a squat Tetra Pack, or a one litre plastic bottle (like a milk bottle). The squat ones are good for bulk storage in the cupboard, while the plastic ones win out as they can be frozen and are typically recyclable. Tetra Packs are best avoided in my opinion, as most councils can't recycle them. They're so bad for the environment, in fact, that the company that invented them has been coerced into providing specific recycling facilities for them in the UK.
The price is currently a bargainous £0.56. This hasn't changed upwards since October when I started using the product.
*Nutrition, source etc.*
Fruit juices are high in naturally occurring fruit sugars and so they're best enjoyed in moderation (apple juice is on a par with Coca Cola). A 200 ml glass of this apple juice contains: 87 calories, 0.2 g of fat and 20.7 g of sugars. This gets a 'yellow' on the nutrition pie chart that features on so many foodstuffs these days, so it's fine in moderation.
It's also worth considering that a 200 ml glass is one of your five a day and it's a very easy way to get it. More than one portion doesn't count, however, so don't glug a litre of this and act like you're being healthy!
This juice comes from a variety of sources, where the apple juice is pressed, frozen, sent back to the UK, defrosted, pasteurised and 'rehydrated' with the addition of more water. For most people this will be viewed as a negative, but Sainsbury's have cunningly tried to sell it as a glamorous thing, with their 'from around the world' line on the front of the packaging. I don't think it's particularly fantastic that I'm drinking apple juice from x different countries with my breakfast, but can't complain as the price, taste and nutritional values are all right.

Suspected Folsom Lake College Gunman to be Released Next Year
The gunman police believe was planning a mass killing at Folsom Lake College in 2012 will get out of jail next year.
David Ming Lee was sentenced today to a nine-year term, but nearly half of that term will be on supervised probation. With good-time credits, Lee is eligible to be released in April of 2015.
The 22-year-old was arrested in October of 2012 at the college after he brought a loaded Glock pistol onto campus.
In Facebook postings, Lee had called himself a "murderous person" and wanted to exceed the 33 shooting deaths at Virginia Tech University in 2007.

- Find links to help you with your practice.
In the last column, we covered some of the most basic websites that lawyers can use. This month, we dive a little deeper into what the Internet has to offer.
Best Letter Ever Written to a Lawyer—The cease-and-desist letter is a staple of legal correspondence. After a microbrewery's lawyers sent one to another microbrewery over the use of a claimed trademark, things got interesting. Read about it here.
Speaking of Cease-and-Desist Letters—The next time you're drafting a C&D, you might consider the approach taken by Jack Daniels in mid-2012. Considering that the recipient of your C&D can put it online and mock you (and make your client look like a bully), a revision to your form may be appropriate. Click here to review the gentlemanly C&D.
The Litigation Checklist—Three years ago Atul Gawande, M.D. wrote a book that belongs on every lawyer's bookshelf, The Checklist Manifesto. Well-designed checklists, Dr. Gawande argues, prevent dumb mistakes. Colorado attorney Jeff Vail has started a comprehensive checklist for litigators. While it is not complete, the checklist and subchecklists are excellent resources for any lawyer who sets foot in the courthouse.
Recently Filed Intellectual Property Suits—At times, it is helpful for IP litigators to know what is going on in terms of new case filings. RFC Express provides reports of new intellectual property cases filed in the federal courts on a daily basis. The site is free, and provides the caption and court. For a fee, the site will let you download pleadings, although many lawyers will probably opt for PACER instead.
The Jury Expert—Trying a case to a jury is an art. The American Society of Trial Consultants has a blog where you can read articles on ways to better advocate your client's cause to a jury. Considering that judges are also human, a good number of these articles should help in bench trials as well.
The Trade Secrets Homepage—Chicago IP lawyer R. Mark Halligan maintains this site as a repository of almost all knowledge about trade secrets. While you will not find the formula for Coca-Cola here, you will find a database of trade secret case decisions and a wealth of other information.
Law for Writers—Indiana attorney and novelist Stephen Terrell has launched a blog with articles discussing legal issues that often confront writers. Whether you are a hopeful author yourself or an attorney with clients who long to be published, the site has useful and to-the-point insights.
Internet Cases—The writings of another Chicago IP attorney, Evan Brown, appear at this site. Evan keeps readers up to date on court decisions that deal with the law and the Internet.

This hôtel can Never be a 5 stars hôtel , Max a 3 stars...
the hotel room were large and the breakfast buffet was good the reception staff were not professional to fulfill the customer needs and even though i have made reservation two weeks before, i have been told that there is no room available - executive king- and they will look for other room for me and i have to wait at least for 45 min to arrange after long flight to check in to the room !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spacious suite Reception staffs were very slow during check in. This hotel which claims to be a 5 stars hotel doesn't seem to have the 5 stars hotel standard and services. I chose this hotel is merely because it is near to my relative's house.
Excellent value for money since I paid less then $100 for my room, very spacious and well-equipped There is nothing to do nearby of the hotel so you will have to take a taxi every time you leave the place
Ζĥε hotel is clean...hopefully it will stay that way...coz ƫhϊş building is still brand new now. Ζĥε service from ζĥε hotel staff were really poor...especially ζĥε staff in ζĥε reception desk.
the hotel bathroom with separate shower area that keep it clean and dry the services of cafe staff when we request for chilli
great staff, complete facilities, strategic location. Overall a good hotel in Jakarta
amaizing and wonderful hotel the hotel staff are trained to deal with customer and it has High security service> I advise to visit the hotel to enjoy the all services
large room, good service, nice break-fast buffet, room with smoke smell
It's a luxurious and beautiful hotel with dito rooms which are clean and comfortable. Acces to the popular shopping malls is not easy due to the traffic jams. Available taxis from the hotel are the more expensive silverbird-taxis. If you ask for a normal bluebird-taxi the doormen are not very cooperative.
Rooms are big nice and well equiped. The staff is very helpfull. Ther breakfast was one big mess. All tables where still full with dirty dishes and It took 15 minutes bvefore there where rolls and bread and when that arrived there was no cheese or ham etc. Took me again 15 minutes to get a fresh backed egg. Breakfast room was compleat understaffed the waiters where doing what they could but there where not enough of them. Discusting for an hotel of that standard. Was my last visit there.
everything looks perfect & felt perfect while im stayin in! quality & quanity molded to one. indonesian are big smokers & the smells around hotel lingers of local cigarette
The overall friendliness and cooperation of the staff.
The restaurant on the 14th floor was average - food was not really that good
The breakfast is very good, the service is up to my request.
T.V was smal if that was a LCD it was better no
Design of the hotel is good.securty and safty is excellent. for breckfast the bofet is not good.i found flying on the food.I told the workers about that.
The king size bed with 4 big pillows was great! All the hotel employees were very kind. Nice breakfast. Internet connection not included in the price of the room. Expensive dinners, smaller and less tasty that any restaurant outside.
Been staying here each time I'm in Jakarta with a group of friends. The 2 or 3 bedroom apartments are really value for money. Place is accessible anywhere and just steps away from Plaza Semanggi. Just a minor mishap with them forgetting to provide us with towels.
security traffic to hotel during peak hours, need to call housekeeping for towels
We had 2 separate bedrooms and big living room. Suitable for biger group for longer stay. Staff was helpfull. Room needs some refurbishment already.
the best is staff and the spa some of furniture needs to be renew
Good filling breakfasts Pool is not working till next year and not told about this
Excellent value for money Internet charges should be complimentary in a Junior Suite
the room was very good I would like to have had a towel in the downstairs toilet
The style, very nice interior with a lot attention to detail. Good size. Nice pool. Cute/ pretty rooms. Wifi was outrageously expensive. The gym was very small. No outdoor bar, the pool closed at 9pm. No chance to eat outside.
Friendly staff, accessible to city but not in the city, close to good restaurants, felt safe, economical. Nothing
Intimate, superbly comfortable hotel with great service. Easily outperforms 5-star chains. Cafe has excellent food and outstanding service, but the space is small and so quiet business meetings can be a challenge.
Very friendly staff, customer friendly check-in/out times, excellent food
I was at the hotel 2 times already, booked via Booking.com, but when I reached the Front Desk, they said they couldn't find my reservations. 2 times it happened already. So I had to forward my booking confirmation email to the hotel again. Check-in time was prolonged due to these incompetencies.
The Room was well appointed and the bed was made up with very good quality linen. My room was under the pantry, and made sleep impossible after 5 a.m.
I know this hotel for more than ten years . I like the atmosphere the delightful decoration the excellent breakfast and the nice service.
Bed very comfortable. Hotel close to shopping centre. -
The staff was wonderful; very safe location, great breakfast.
Good breakfast and choices of lunch buffet. The light in the bathroom not functioning and the drain in the bath tub clogged. These were rectified by the maintenance crew.
The location, in the middle of CBD...forget about the traffic and just walk around. Same breakfast everyday, free seating without knowing where can you sit.
Staff is friendly The reception peoples are in experienced
The room was comfortable and quiet....
Nice Hotel and nice Staff , nice breakfast. Small rooms.
When we booked by Booking.com the currency was in US$ but the hotel is using the IDR currency so we had to pay more because of exchange rate
Location Laundry has to be requested for return - easy to forget. Internet charges are extras which is a cheap shot
View on the city from the room Lounge/bar in hotel. Not cosy, not attractive to spend time to have a drink
The room was good.Security very good.All staff was friendly and professional. Service at the reception wasnt very good.But it was mostly because there wasnt enough staff working.
I had a lake check in, around 10pm and was upgraded due to non-availability of room booked, that was nice of Front office staff. Bar Lounge in Lobby could be done up better, very dull place to sit and have a drink.
We stayed already at many good hotels at Jakarta but for us the Dharmawangsa is still first choice. Very good location, still central but relatively quite. Excellent facilities, be it the lobby or the rooms, pool area or gym. Nice Javanese atmosphere and stile. Very professional and friendly staff. And there are these nice special add ons, you do not need, but they are suitable of cheering you up, such as personal butler service, paper with your letter head and your own name cards with hotel address. Everything that is supposed to work, works.
architecture and non-intrusive service. Special tea serving with indigenous classical music was interesting. Getting a little tired in parts of the room eg : holes in blackout lining of curtains. Location quiet and safe neighbourhood but not excellent for shopping and visiting city's attractions, restaurants etc.
the design, the space, and the staff
Everything seems well maintain. We like our 6 nights stay at Somerset, it is a really nice family apartment, with good facilities.
I liked the spacious apartment I didn't like the restaurant because it was narrow and there was no wide variety food was provided for the breakfast but for the lunch and dinner the food was very delicious, also the swimming pool wasn't deep and there was no guard for children in case of emergency.
this hotel is soo clean and wonderfull......the breakfast area is great ....
the apartment is large and clean suitable for family
pool area,good kitchen facilities. location is very very very bad, no grocery the nearest cerfour is 10 min by car.
An excellent hotel with pleasant, helpful staff, good location, good food and nice pool.
Clean and moder offers full service apart Breakfast is below expectation limited range slow refill
Luxury and Relax Bad hotail
Better than any small hotel room - spacious, modern and clean appartments with all / more than you need. Located in good area still close / in reach of JKT centre. Friendly and helpful stuff make the stay even more conveniant. A place to feel comfortable and almost at home... Cable Internet (which my notebook could not connect) was free - WLAN should also be free for more easy access.
the location is near the office, so i can just walk 15 minutes to my office the price is high, the bathtub is broken
apart from friendly staff; nothing, even they upgraded me to a suite. You should check the hotel, run down, dirty. I felt cheated. There is no free internet as indicated in booking.
Nice hotel, very friendly personnel; Local atmosphere; Breakfast nice mixture between Indonesian and Western food.Cinema next door; Good parking facilities; Have been several years ago in the same hotel, Kartika needs in some parts renovation.
The hotel is good value for money. The rooms are spacious and the staff are quite helpful. Breakfast has good range of offerings that caters to local as well as international tastes. The hotel has a bar with live music which gets quite lively in the night. The toilets could have been cleaner. English is not spoken by most of the staff; however, despite the language barriers, they were very helpful.
Hotel staffs were good. Cleanliness, food

Americans not hitting their walking stride
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Americans have got some walking to do if they want to catch up with the rest of the world.
They are far outpaced by Australians, Asians and Europeans who walk much more, according to a new study.
Adults in western Australia average 9,695 steps a day. The Swiss followed with 9,650, while the Japanese clocked in with 7,168 steps. But Americans straggled far behind with just 5,117 steps.
"We were surprised that the levels of physical activity were that low," said Dr. David R. Bassett, of the University of Tennessee, the lead author of the study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
"Five thousand steps is really pretty inactive," he added.
Bassett said Americans need to step up for another 30 to 40 minutes per day to shrink the fitness gap. One mile equals about 2000 steps.
The researchers used pedometers to gather step data from 1,136 American adults, who varied in age, gender and geographic location, and compared the results to similar studies in the other countries.
Bassett thinks America's car culture and lack of adequate public transportation provide fertile ground for couch potatoes. Continued...

UPDATE 2-Imperial Oil profit jumps 45 pct as income from refining surges
(Adds details on Kearl production, share price)
Oct 31 (Reuters) - Imperial Oil Ltd, Canada's second-largest integrated oil producer and refiner, reported a 45 percent jump in third-quarter profit on Friday as it refined more crude oil at higher margins.
Weak crude prices helped boost margins at the company's refining business, which accounts for three-quarters of its total revenue.
Global oil prices have fallen by about 25 percent since June due to excess supply, including supply from North American shale fields, and slowing demand, particularly from China and Europe.
Imperial, which is 69.6 percent owned by Exxon Mobil Corp , said it sold synthetic crude at an average of C$102.58($90.78) per barrel, down 10 percent from a year earlier.
Average realized price for bitumen fell about 8 percent to C$74.82 per barrel.
The impact of lower prices was offset by a near eight-fold jump in net income in Imperial's downstream business, which transports and refines crude oil into products such as gasoline and diesel. Revenue in the business rose 5 percent.
However, weak crude prices hurt Imperial's upstream oil-and-gas production business significantly, slowing revenue growth in the unit to about 8 percent from 54 percent.
Production at Imperial's Kearl oil sands mining project in northern Alberta averaged 78,000 barrels per day for the quarter, which included a 14-day maintenance shutdown. Continued...

About the Movie
The toys are back in town and ready to play once again on the big screen in Toy Story 2, the exciting sequel to the landmark 1995 animated blockbuster from Disney/Pixar. This comedy-adventure picks up as Andy heads off to Cowboy Camp leaving his toys to their own devices. Things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin (Wayne Knight), owner of Al's Toy Barn, kidnaps Woody (Tom Hanks). At Al's apartment, Woody discovers that he is a highly valued collectible from a 1950s TV show called "Woody's Roundup," and he meets the other prized toys from that show - Jessie the cowgirl (Joan Cusack), Bullseye the horse and Stinky Pete the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer). Back at the scene of the crime, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the gang from Andy's room -- Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), Slinky Dog (Jim Varney), Rex (Wallace Shawn) and Hamm (John Ratzenberger) -- spring into action to rescue their pal from winding up as a museum piece. The toys get into one predicament after another in their daring race to get Woody home before Andy returns.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Pixar's improved computer animation is up to all the demands of this excellent adventure.
Fresh: Toy Story 2 is a brilliant example of that rarest of Hollywood phenomena a sequel to a major hit film thats as good, if not better, than the original.
Fresh: They've done it again. The folks who brought you 'Toy Story now present Toy Story 2, another clever, riotous tale of life in the toy lane.
Fresh: Even though computer animation may seem like the coldest, least organic art form, the characters pulse with more humanity than most live actors can muster in a dozen mainstream movies.
Customer Reviews
New! Better! Batteries Included!
Now, don't get me wrong, the first Toy Story was a fantastic film. Being one of the first full length fully digital movies ever made, it was surprisingly good. But here we have one of the rare cases of the sequel that surpasses the original. The first Toy Story was hindered only by the frightening scenes which took place in Sid's room. Toy Story 2 is not frightening to children in any way, the jokes appeal to adults as well as kids, it introduces new and enjoyable characters, and the story is not just recycled material from the first film. This film is fun to watch for just about anyone to infinite and... well, you know. CONTENT: Some mild crude humor, mild peril. WHO: Small kids and up.
I Want To Buy This Movie For The Correct $10 Library Title Price
I love Pixar movies, and I would love to buy them all from iTunes, but there seems to be a discrepancy with the pricing of Pixar movies as opposed to the pricing of other library titles. What I mean is, when Steve Jobs revealed the iTunes Movie Store, he explained that new releases would have the $14.99 price tag whereas the Library Titles would have a $9.99 price tag. This works correctly for other movies on iTunes, but for some reason, Pixar movies (most of which are NOT new releases) all carry the $14.99 price tag. Now, whether this has to do with the fact that Steve Jobs was the CEO of Pixar for several years (and therefore sees it fit to charge the top dollar for these very well done movies) or not, I say that they should not receive such special treatment since these movies contain NO special features, or even a high quality picture. I am willing to pay $9.99 for these digital copies of these very well done movies, and I really do understand all the hard work it takes to make a full 3D motion picture, but I really cannot see paying what will be an extra $35-$40 when I go and buy all the Pixar movies on iTunes. Please Apple, lower the cost of the older Pixar movies to their appropriate $9.99 price, and I will buy every Pixar movie that is on the iTunes store. Thanks in advance.
terrific movie
while i had doubts before watching this movie, (based on the enormous sucess of the first movie), i was totally in awe after the movie was over. it is a terrific follow-up to toy story 1 which was also a fabulous movie, and you can tell it will at least be interesting because who can resist talking toys? also, "When She Loved Me" which is on the soundtrack is also a must buy which was remarkably remade by jordan pruitt on the disneymania 5 album

Characterization of hot deformation behavior of brasses using processing maps: Part II. β Brass and α-β brass

The hot deformation behaviors of β brass in the temperature range of 550°C to 800°C and α-β brass in the temperature range of 450°C to 800°C have been characterized in the strain rate range of 0.001 to 100 s−1 using processing maps developed on the basis of the Dynamic Materials Model. The map for β brass revealed a domain of superplasticity in the entire temperature range and at strain rates lower than 1 s−1, with a maximum efficiency of power dissipation of about 68 pct. The temperature variation of the efficiency of power dissipation in the domain is similar to that of the diffusion coefficient for zinc in β brass, confirming that the diffusion-accommodated flow controls the superplasticity. The material undergoes microstructural instability in the form of adiabatic shear bands and strain markings at temperatures lower than 700°C and at strain rates higher than 10 s−1. The map for α-β brass revealed a wide domain for processing in the temperature range of 550°C to 800°C and at strain rates lower than 1 s−1, with a maximum efficiency of 54 pct occurring at about 750°C and 0.001 s−1. In the domain, the α phase undergoes dynamic recrystallization and controls the hot deformation of the alloy, while the β phase deforms superplastically. At strain rates greater than 1 s−1, α-β brass exhibits microstructural instabilities manifested as flow rotations at lower temperatures and localized shear bands at higher temperatures.

Something has awakened in the Badlands. Undying hunger and hatred for Man seethe in the darkness. While below the brooding pinnacles, the first talking Western is being filmed.
The fledging director, John Ford, has inherited a troubled production and fights his own insecurity over filming his first movie with sound. Harry Carey, the star, and his wife worry about Ford's hostility to his former best friend. German screen sensation, Marlene Dietrich, has been abandoned by the director who lured her to American shores. Nicola Tesla, fabled genius, hides his true purpose in being the film's special effects man.
Then strange death begins to hunt the cast and crew down one by one. Abruptly, they find themselves cut off from outside help. And their only hope rests on the has-been cowboy acting as technical adviser... Samuel McCord... a man the Sioux fearfully call "the ghost who hunts."
When events seemingly cannot get any worse, they do. The not-human, estranged wife of McCord arrives and neither McCord nor the humans are safe from her. The only question is whether she will kill them before the awakened Something does.

Plight of the elderly played down for too long
I would like to express my concern about the old people in Hong Kong, as problems have existed for a long time but the Government has not done much about them. I do hope that they can do something more about old people's benefits, rather than just paying lip service to the problem.
Whenever I have walked in Yau Ma Tei or in Temple Street, some forlorn old women have been rummaging through litter bins for soft drink cans or picking up scraps of paper in the chilly morning wind.
They sell these things in exchange for meagre amounts of money to make a living. One rainy day I saw a frail woman, wearing worn-out shoes, pushing a cart full of scraps of paper in a hurry.
Can we really say that we do enough for these people? I felt very upset and helpless. At the same time, I am furious with the Government for not doing enough for them.
Instead, the Government has spent enormous sums on Vietnamese refugees, who create troubles and disturbances and impair the overall social orderliness of the community. The British Government are the major culprits on this matter.
Governor Chris Patten is famous for breaking promises. 'Promises are like pie crust - made to be broken' is the best way to describe him.
Take a look at his 1995 policy speech. Many of the things he promised then have not been fulfilled. Hong Kongers are famous for their magnanimity towards unfortunate people all over the world, like China flood victims and the Rwandans. However, we neglect the elderly.
It is pathetic to see such scenes in a modern city.
As the handover is just around the corner, I implore democratic parties, the Governor and others to stop criticising China overseas over the provisional legislature or for not implementing democracy. Economic growth and improvements to the livelihood of our people are more important.
We want prosperity and stability. We want more food, more public housing, more social benefits.

Antique Fishing Decoys
Native American style decoys became popular in the upper Midwest starting in the mid 1800's. So popular, in fact, that they were banned (except on reservations) in 1910. But the Depression came along and ice fishing became popular as a way to put food on the table. Soon a number of decoy factories and carvers emerged, offering their products to anglers. Collectors look for whimsical colors and designs, original patterns, and especially for the work of 'master carvers' like Harry Seymour and Yock Meldrum.

Do you get excited when you hear about people's lives being changed when they read the Bible in their own language?
Do you ever wonder if you could be part of it?
Are you still trying to work out where you might fit in?
The Next Step, Wycliffe's newest event for enquirers, could be just the thing for you. The debut event is coming up in just over a month.
Building on the excellent and in-depth exploring of the Window on Wycliffe course, The Next Step is custom-built for your enquiry. It runs over four days at The Wycliffe Centre, near High Wycombe.
The event will cover:
- worship and Bible times to dig deeper into God's plans and work;
- exploring what it takes to make a Bible translation happen;
- exploring roles within the Bible translation movement that get Scriptures off shelves and into the hearts of people from minority language communities;
- working out how your gifts and mission can fit into and serve your church;
- working out which role would suit your skills and expertise;
- cafe-style question times to release your inner control freak and ask all those niggling questions on a one-on-one basis;
- great food, great company;
- and much, much more!
The debut session will run between 3rd and 6th September. For more information, go to wycliffe.org.uk/thenextstep (you can find out about how to register there too).
Four days seem a bit much? Find your nearest one-day First Steps event.

Aluminum Door sill and Concrete
I am looking for advice regarding imbeding an aluminum door sill in concrete. The front door and Garage door of my new house are intended to be handicap accesible with no step up to them.
The door sill has an extruded piece of aluminum that comes out and them wraps under, making a kind of toe kick. A very typical set up on a door that you would normally step up to.
However since I want the exterior porch and garage floors to be flush with the interior floors, that piece of aluminum will be buried/imbeded in the concrete when it is poured.
My initial Google searches indicate that this may not be what I want to do as this may cause corrosion in the aluminum. This is in WI and it will also be getting wet and probably have sidewalk salt tracked on it aggravting the corrosion problem.
Any recomendations on how to handle this situation?
Thanks for your input.
Aluminum Door sill and Concrete
There are specialized door sweeps that retract and can provide a good seal to most any type of sill.
I have seen similar units for indoor use and noise control (sound and privacy). The sweep is lowered when the door is closed. Probably no cheap, but it could be a good, smooth solution for limited access.
You may want to look for a low profile sill that is make from a material compatible with the concrete (steel, marble, etc.) and suitable for your climate exposure.
DEFINITELY don't embed alluminum in concrete. The sill will not last long at all. Alluminum will corrode very fast when exposed to concrete. I would suggest trying to find a different manufacturer that uses either steel or some type of figerglass composite.

Kang Leads Trojans To Open The Prestige At PGA West
Feb. 19, 2013
Led by junior Jeffrey Kang, whose 4-under 67 was good for a share of the individual lead, the USC men's golf team finished in second-place during the darkness-shortened first round of The Prestige at PGA West on Sunday in La Quinta, Calif.
USC finished at a combined 5-under 279, one stroke back of TCU, who, like the Trojans were one of eight of the 15 schools to complete a round. The remaining teams will finish the first round Monday morning before the second round begins.
Kang knocked in five birdies against one bogey during his strong round to lead the Trojans. His 67 tied a season best and was his third round in the 60s this year. Freshman teammate Yi Keun Chang is tied for sixth at 2-under 69 after a four-birdie first round.
Sophomore Anthony Paolucci, who has been USC's top finisher in the past two events - both top 10 results -- is tied for 12th at 1-under 70, his five-birdie round including three in a row at one point.
Senior Sam Smith is tied for 51st at 2-over 73 while junior Ramsey Sahyoun is tied for 85th at 12-over 83.
The second round is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday while the final round Wednesday will begin at 6:51 a.m.


text: Here ya go guys. Predictions to come later. Hopefully they'll be better than my results, which are admittedly pretty weak and more recap than funny. I think. Week 5 Results: Warthog's Wackjobs (8), HIMATS TEAM (1) Ouch!! Himat's butt is sore after getting thoroughly dominated 8-1 by the Wackjobs, propelling Wart into 1st place and Himat into 9th. Using 15 Raptors players was looking to be a poor idea, but once they got adjusted they started putting up excellent numbers...except for Fred Jones. Fred Jones blows. Meanwhile, Himat's stacked attack got sacked by injuries and he screamed "come back!" Warthog is also thankful that Himat benched Pierce for several games due to disciplinary reasons. Slippys Tato-Mashers (5), Mashed Potatoes (3) Well lookie here, this turned out to be the best match of the week! While Slippy and Tater jawed at each other in the forums, Slippy put his money where his mouth is and got off to a blazing 8-1 start, while Tater couldn't find his mouth and said "I have plenty of eyes though." Another poor potato joke. Tater performed a Slippy Special and Sandbagged in the forums, conceding victory and giving credit to his opponent more than Larry Brown after a loss. Slippy fell asleep at the wheel and Tater launched a comeback behind several spectacular performances. You could say Slippy's lead was 'slipping' away, har har. He came back to tie in Steals and came away with the 5-3-1 victory. Who knows what these teams will be named this week? That could be just as interesting as the matchups they're inevitably going to lose! :D Thankfully the rumors weren't true and the teams did not merge, so we were spared from the Voltron-esque 'SlippyTater the Fantasy Basketball Slayer.' What is Sarah Michelle Gellar up to these days anyway? She was hot in Cruel Intentions. That's too bad about Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon. Although I guess that means she's on the market now. But she has kids. Ew. Awesomeness...I hope (5), sprockets (4) The sprocket-protecting namby pambies somehow managed to only lose by a game this week to the newly-Awesome, always-Hopeful Linwood. Despite Micro's warnings, dba played for percentages and turnovers and hoped to steal at least one more category, which he did with 3-pointers. Apparently Linwood's guys are playing like it's the 70s and forgot that there's a 3-point line. According to Micro, this strategy is dangerous for the sprockets, and could bite him in the rear playing a spunky Aurora team. Since the secret was revealed about Linwood's sandbagging, he decided to lay low and only win 5-4 against his weakened opponent. Will it trick me into underestimating you in the predictions? Most likely. You can blatantly sandbag and it'll still work. Promise not to quit (6), Aurora Kimmie Lights (3) Oh my! Aurora was starting to turn the corner and become a contender, but Professor did exactly what his taunting said, and dragged her down into the basement with him, then proceeded to tear her a new one. Apparently Prof just watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and took some lessons. Or maybe desperate times call for desperate measures. His team shot over 50% and had 43 three-pointers to lead the league. As predicted, Bell and Biedrins came back down to earth, although Biedrins is still pretty dominating. Of course when Golden State misses the playoffs again none of this will matter, but yeah. These teams are now 10th and 11th out of 12, but hey, it's not last...right? bball_future (5), 16 MIle (4) The match of the week turned out close but was kind of a dud. Jay was set to win 9-0 until 16 MIle started setting his lineups again and dropping useless players. Welcome back to the league. It was enough for 4 games but not the overall victory. Good thing they played each other, because neither squad put up spectacular numbers and could have been blown out against some other opponents. Not letting Jay win more than 5-4 leads me to believe that these guys aren't the same person after all. Who knew? Apparently I didn't. I'll have to talk to these guys about how to spin stats better so I could still claim my rumors are true. Ralphimaniacs (5), ChipsOnPistons (4) Ohhhhh who called the upset? Just call me Ms. Cleo folks! Call meee noww fo' yo' free predeection. Ralphi knows his fantasy basketball. He's leading the Sleeper League and upset the #1 Chips after closes matches against #3 and #4. Ralphi is now locked into a solid 4th place. Chips, much like the Pistons on Sunday, disappointed. He drops to 3rd, 1.5 games back from the #1 Wackjobs. Oh wait, who is that in 1st place? Warthog? Wow, what a beast. That guy is sweet. Week 6 Predictions: Warthog's Wackjobs (27-15-3) vs. Promise not to quit (18-25-1) The #1 Warthog's Wackjobs get to take on the Professor this week. That's right, Warthog's Wackjobs is the #1 team in Fantasy Basketball. That means 11 out of 11 teams are doing worse. That means 0 teams are doing better. No team is even within 0.5 games (nevermind the 5 teams less than 5 games back, they don't matter). How dominating. Anyway, Wart might have met his match this week against the Professor. Both are thinkers, but can the student become the teacher? Professor's record is very deceiving. He had a strong Week 5 and would have fared well against Wart had he played him. This will be a lot closer than it is on paper. Plus Professor always has the advantage of being the one to grade the papers. Being near the bottom of the league, expect no mercy and the continued desperation that made him win 6-3 last week. Add the fact that he's playing about 10 more games this week and this could get interesting, especially if MoPete doesn't come back. Slippys Tato-Mashers (27-17-1) vs. 16 MIle (12-32-1) Ow. Some definite mismatches this week as #1 is playing #11, and here we have #2 playing #12. However, 16 Mile is back and ready to play, which means the Master-of-Tatos has to deal with Dwight Howard *and* Michael Redd, and no free passes from Vujacic and Jones. 16 Mile almost beat Jay even with those free passes most of the week. Overconfidence nearly cost Slippy a victory last week. Tater was quick to point out that he could've won outright with one more steal. Yeah, and I was one number away from winning the lotto before, but I was still a loser. Slippy was quick to point out "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, although I guess it counts in Fantasy Basketball too with its Head-to-Head scoring by individual category, so uhhh, nevermind." Awesomeness...I hope (23-20-2) vs. Mashed Potatoes (20-23-2) Ahhh, finally a close match after a few paper-blowouts. But look for a victory here by Tater. He's still reeling from his near-miss loss to Slippy, so he might get off to a slow start while he sulks and plays the world's smallest violin, but he should come back by the end of the week and win 6-3 to tie it up with Linwood in overall record. Linwood could be hit or miss, having to depend on Kirilenko, Peja, Iverson, and Richardson remaining healthy. Both teams have 2 categories they should win outright (Tater with points and assists, Linwood with blocks and turnovers), so it'll be up to FG%, FG%, 3-pointers, boards, and steals to determine the winner. Aurora Kimmie Lights (20-25-0) vs. sprockets (24-21-0) Aurora got dragged to the basement by the Professor in Week 5, while dba's team dragged themselves down there. Hopefully the sprockets don't turn the lights off and play hide-and-seek in the dark, lest they injure themselves any further. It's easy enough to injure yourself in the basement with the lights on, as I found out last week hitting my head on a corner and hitting my knee on a rocking chair. Apparently pretending you're Barry Sanders running through a cluttered basement isn't such a good idea. If the sprockets go for the percentage/turnovers strategy this week, they could be in trouble, especially with Biedrins shooting 80% every game. Aurora has a team that is very good in both FG% and FT%, so if she takes these categories then the sprockets are really in trouble. She matches up really well with dba in every other category too. Could the sprockets go from being the #1 team to getting spanked 9-0 by #10? Will Aurora take the torch passed on from the Professor and do some basement-dragging? Will these teams ever tie? These questions will be answered in Week 6! Ralphimaniacs (23-20-2) vs. bball_future (22-23-0) Wow, could this match be any more even? It's Ralphi's Content-To-Be-Competitive-Even-If-I-Don't-Win versus Jay's Content-To-Think-I-Win-Even-When-The-Stats-Say-I-Don't. Who is better? Will Ralphi play down to Jay's level and enjoy the competition more than winning? Will Jay's team continue to somehow stay healthy and produce? Will Darko ever have more rebounds than blocks in a game? Will the truth be revealed that Darko wanted to be traded to Orlando because they don't have any tint laws in Florida? Another series of questions, and this week will give us another series of answers. Give the edge to Ralphi for coming up with a better, more menacing team name. HIMATS TEAM (21-24-0) vs. ChipsOnPistons (26-17-2) Chips gets the namby pamby award for this week! His wussy Pistons didn't even play Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday! What wussies! Then they couldn't even hold on to first place! Meanwhile, Himat's stacked squad got drubbed 8-1. He had a long talk with Paul Pierce, the two made up, and he won't be benched any longer. Himat will come back strong, riding the performances of Bibby, Martin, Pierce, Randolph, Garnett, and Davis. Of course that's if they stay healthy. Which luckily they didn't last week, because Warthog would rather earn a cheap victory than no victory at all. Put all your Chips on Himat this week, he's going to roll 7-2.

New map aims to help battle for Arctic territories
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - British researchers on Wednesday unveiled what they billed as the first authoritative map to highlight disputed territories in the resource-rich Arctic.
The map, which shows areas where boundaries are already agreed as well as areas where claims have been made or disputes could break out, is designed to help world powers as they battle over rights to the remote but potentially lucrative area.
"The map is the most precise depiction yet of the limits and the future dividing lines that could be drawn across the Arctic region," said Martin Pratt, director of research at Durham University's International Boundaries Research Unit (IBRU).
"The results have huge implications for policy-making as the rush to carve up the polar region continues," he said.
Nations around the Arctic Ocean -- Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway, Denmark and Iceland -- are rushing to stake preliminary claims with the U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf before a May 2009 deadline.
Scientists say global warming is more extreme in the Arctic than elsewhere, and the ice sheet is retreating -- it has shrunk by more than a quarter in the past 30 years. Previously inaccessible oil and gas reserves could be within reach in decades.
Russia sparked international outrage last year when it planted a flag on the seabed underneath the North Pole in an effort to stake its claim to a large chunk of the Arctic.
The U.S. Geological Survey said last month the Arctic Circle could hold an estimated 90 billion barrels of recoverable oil, enough supply to meet world demand for almost three years. Continued...

The Gaels conclude the 2013 conference season with a record of 9-7, tying Niagara and Manhattan for fourth. By way of tiebreaker, the Purple Eagles earned the final berth in next weekend's MAAC Championship. Niagara held a 3-1 record against the Jaspers and Gaels; Manhattan was 2-2 against the Purple Eagles and Gaels; the Gaels posted a 1-3 record against the Jaspers and Purple Eagles.
Iona struck first in game one with a run in the opening frame. Sophomore Allison Hand drove in senior Jodi Petersen with a one-out bases loaded single through the left side.
In the second inning, Iona put across three more runs to open up a four run margin on Saint Peter's. After freshman Brianna King led off the frame with a single and freshman Sydney Dimon walked, Petersen doubled to left field to drive in King and put two runners in scoring position. Sophomore Brianna Schauer followed and drove in the pair with a single to center field.
The Gaels pushed across their final run of the first game in the fourth inning. Petersen doublde to right center with one out before moving to third on a groundout. Senior Beth Kann would then plate her classmate with a single to right field, giving Iona a 5-0 lead.
Saint Peter's would get within two with three runs in the fourth inning. Francesca D'Amato drove in two with a home run to left field and Shelby Beaver picked up an RBI single.
The Gaels would be able to hold on to lead by allowing just three batters to reach over the final three innings.
Petersen led the Gaels with three hits and three runs scored while Schauer drove in a game high two runs in the contest. Sophomore Carly Argyle got the win for Iona, allowing three runs on seven hits in seven inning while striking out a career high 12 batters. Lee Harrison took the loss for Saint Peter's, allowing four runs, all earned, in one-plus inning of work. Erica Colon pitched the final six innings in relief.
In game two, Iona got out to a 1-0 lead on a run scoring single by Hand. Saint Peter's would take its first lead of the day in the bottom of the inning with two runs.
Argyle would score on a Saint Peter's error in the second inning to tie the game at two before the Peacocks put three runs across in the third inning to take a 5-2 lead.
The Gaels would trim the deficit to one in the fourth inning when Dimon delivered her first career home run to center field, driving in Argyle who reached on a lead off single.
Saint Peter's would score five runs in the bottom of the inning, with the big blow coming on a two run double to left center by Taylor Corretjer. The Peacocks would tack on another run in the fifth inning, moving ahead 11-4.
Iona would continue to fight, scoring four runs on five hits in the top of the sixth inning. Schauer drove in King with a bases loaded single. Hand would score Schauer and Petersen with a single to left center and junior Katie Jansson knocked in Kann with a single through the left side, cutting the Saint Peter's lead to three.
Saint Peter's would put the game out of reach with two runs in the sixth inning, when Harrison homered to center field. Iona would get one run in the seventh on an RBI groundout to short by Kann but would not be able to continue its rally.
Hand went a perfect 4-4 in the finale, while Argyle and King also record multi-hit efforts. Argyle took the loss for Iona, allowing 10 runs, nine earned, on 11 hits and three walks in 3.2 innings. Beaver got the win for Saint Peter's, allowing eight runs, two earned, in 5.2 innings.

Rising global demand, according to Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke, means the extraordinarly low food prices we've become accustomed to won't last. Prodded by the campaigning journalist and heroic greedy-guts Jay Rayner, he has admitted food price inflation is inevitable. The 10 per cent of our incomes we spend on grub will go up.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to food pricing, both respectable, and they barely engage with each other at all. The first — which is generally that of people who take a very strong interest in food and pride themselves in doing so — is that food is too cheap and that it should be more expensive. This is the school of thought that holds the three-quid chicken an abomination. Low prices mean low welfare, intensive cultivation, environmental damage and nutritional emptiness. Spending a higher proportion of our income on eating well is the right thing to do.
The second school of thought is that in an age of greater reliance on food banks, and some hard-up families or pensioners deciding on any given day whether to heat the house or eat a meal, food absolutely needs to remain as cheap as possible. Low prices mean children with full tummies, and there's an unattractive element of class condescension in the idea that if you can't afford high-welfare meat you should content yourself with a worthy herbivorousness.
Inasmuch as these two ways of thinking do connect, it's in the observation frequently and smugly made by north London numpties such as myself that highly processed foods are expensive and bad for you, and that scratch cooking — soak dried beans! cook pigs' cheeks! make four meals from that chicken! — is nourishing and healthy and can be cheap. Let's get those poor people cooking!
That, unfortunately, is to ignore the facts on the ground. Most people rely on supermarkets for their food. And many of the poorest people not only don't necessarily know the best way with a pig's cheek or a dried borlotti bean but simply don't have the time to cook from scratch because, being poor, they're working every hour God sends.
So Clarke's point is well taken. But a way of squaring the circle between rising food prices and recession-hit families is one that's always been available to him and his peers in the supermarket world. It's to make convenience foods healthier and develop an alternative promotional model to "Buy One Get One Free". Perhaps: "Buy One Get Another Free Next Time"; or, simpler and more catchy: "Half Price".
A model that actually makes food cheap, in other words, rather than making food cheap only if you buy too much and throw half of it away.
