This weekend at Euro 2008
Ibrahimovic keen to renew 'special' Larsson partnership
Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said yesterday that he hoped Henrik Larsson would be picked as his partner to help him end his long goal drought for his country at Euro 2008.
Ibrahimovic has not scored for Sweden since October 2005, but believes Larsson – a late and surprise inclusion at the age of 36 – can help him find the net during Sweden's Group D campaign which begins against Greece on Tuesday.
"Henrik and I have a special relationship and we have played a lot together. He helps me a lot and he can help me during this championship if we are picked together," Ibrahimovic said. "Of course it is up to the coach who plays and I respect all the strikers in our team but Henrik is who I play best with."
Despite winning back-to-back Serie A titles with Internazionale, Ibrahimovic has struggled to replicate his club form for Sweden. "Sooner or later I will score. I just keep trying to create chances," he said.
Torres to shine, says Arbeloa
Spain's style does not suit Fernando Torres, Liverpool team-mate Alvaro Arbeloa said yesterday, but he would be a hit at Euro 2008 anyway. He said: "Torres is one of the best strikers in the world and he will prove that. The way we play may not suit him but that shouldn't stop him scoring."
'We can live without Vieira'
Claude Makélélé said France could survive without captain Patrick Vieira, who will miss their opening Euro 2008 match against Romania on Monday because of a thigh injury. "Pat is an important player but we can live without him if we have to," Makélélé said yesterday.
Player to watch: Luka Modric
*Tottenham supporters will get their first look at their £16m midfielder tomorrow when Luka Modric plays against Austria. The 22-year-old joined from Dinamo Zagreb last month in what may prove smart business by Juande Ramos. Fabio Capello will also be watching at the Prater Stadium as Modric is a key figure in a Croatia team which England face in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers. A left-sided playmaker, Modric was player of the year in Bosnia as an 18-year-old, and in Croatia last season. He said yesterday: "I'm confident I'll live up to expectations. I think I'll do well, but the most important thing is the team."
Almost England
*Philippe Senderos (Switzerland): Consigned into the wilderness by Arsène Wenger following Arsenal's Champions League exit at Anfield but will seek redemption of sorts – and hope to impress any watching club managers – by doing battle for the co-hosts against the Czech Republic's man-mountain striker Jan Koller.
Quote of the day
"I think it was [J F] Kennedy who said: 'Forgive what they have said but don't forget their names'." Italy's Marco Materazzi responds to criticism of his rugged style of defending.

I love this juicy Moroccon spiced chicken! Crunchy, hard & spiced on the outside & juicy, light & yummie on the inside. It is so lovely with the harissa, onion & caper potato salad! Excellent to enjoy as lunch or dinner with your lover!
Click onto the above link.
Recipe: For 2 persons, with a bit of seconds
* For the harissa, caper & potato salad:
6 medium large hard, boiled potatoes, peeled, cooked & cut into 2 cm pieces, cooled off
1 tablespoon of capers, well rinsed under cold water & well drained, finely cut up
1 onion, washed & cleaned, peeled & cut up into little pieces, fried into a bit of olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons of harissa
* For the Moroccon spiced, fried & baked chicken:
chicken fillets for 2 persons, skin removed, washed, pad dry with kitchen paper & cleaned, cut into larger pieces
3 green cardamom pods, peeled open, the pods thrown away but keep the seeds!!!
1/4 teaspoon of black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon of fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric ( be carefull with the turmeric, it colours all of your materials yellow & it gives you staines!! That is why I put on plastic gloves!)
1/4 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon of grinded cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika powder ( pimentón dulce )
1/2 teaspoon of grinded coriander seeds
1/8 teaspoon of grinded piment
50 gr cornstarch
25 gr of very fine yellow corn meal or polenta
2 whole eggs, beaten
200 ml of kefir or buttermilk
a fruity EVOO ( Extra Virgin Olive Oil )
* To serve: sometimes , I serve a green salad with this but it is absolutely not necessary!
1. First, take a medium non stick pan & heat up on medium high. Put the whole cardamom seeds, black peppercorns & the fennel seeds in the pan. Shake the pan from time to time & roast the spices for about 3 to 5 minutes until the spices scent the whole kitchen with their aromas!
2. Put those roasted spices together in a pestle & mortar with the other spices & grind them all to a fine powder. Add the sugar & salt too. Grind them all fine. Now, take a 1st deep plate & mix the cornstarch with the polenta. Take a 2nd deep plate & mix the beaten eggs with the kefir.
3. With one hand roll the pieces of chicken first through the polenta mix & then with your other hand put the chicken pieces trough the egg kefir mix. With the first hand take your chicken pieces again trough the polenta mix. Take a 4th plate & place your finished chicken pieces on it. Repeat until all of the chickken pieces are ready.
4. Heat a large non stick pan on high heat. Pour 4 to 6 tablespoons of the fruity EVOO in it. Heat up. When the oil is sizzling, add the coated chicken pieces. Fry on both sides until well browned. Repeat untill all of the chicken is well fried on both sides. Remove the chicken pieces from the pan & lay them on a rack into a roasting tin & place in a preheated oven on 200°C
( 428 F) & bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is so tender inside & the outside is dark brown & really crisped up! Wrap them into aluminium foil to let the chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes, so that the inside of the meat will be juicy & tender afterwords ).
5. In the meantime, make the harissa potato salad. So, you have your cooled potatoes in front of you. They are cut into litlle pieces. Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mayonaise trough the potato pieces. Take 1 – 2 tablespoons harissa or more to your taste & mix it well trough the mayonaise & the potato salad. Mix the cut up capers trough the salad. Mix the fried onion pieces into the salad. Season with salt & pepper. It has to taste fab!
6. Now, take your serving plate & plate up! Finally, scatter some sea salt on the chicken pieces.

Review of MarryMeSugarDaddy.com
MarryMeSugarDaddy.com is one of the most aesthetically pleasing sugar daddy dating sites you'll ever lay eyes on. This isn't only about their gorgeous design but also their equally gorgeous spokesperson who you get to enjoy from the moment you land on the site. You're immediately met with a beautiful and easy-to-navigate site that features a video explaining what sets this site apart from the others and just what you can expect when using the service.
Sugar Daddy Dating Profiles:
The site's name makes it pretty clear that this is not just a site for people who wanna hook up. MarryMeSugarDaddy.com is for wealthy men and attractive women who enjoy the finer things in life and want to find someone to share them with long term. While you can land a one night stand or casual fling on this site like any other, the people who join this site are in fact looking for more. The fact that the men on this site really are wealthy men who live THE lifestyle that dreams are made of makes it especially appealing for those of us who want it all: wealth and love. It's actually really hard not to be impressed by the caliber of the men on this site!
When you join the site (joining is free) you get to choose what you're looking for from a rather entertaining and specific array of options. First you get to choose whether you're a sugar daddy or sugar baby by selecting either: "I want to spoil" or "I want to be spoiled". Then you get to choose from the following specifics:
- Casual
- Extramarital Affair
- Serious long term
- Travel partner
As you can see there really is something for everyone, though again I want to stress that I found many of the men on the site to be looking for someone to spoil long term and even love and marry. Another neat little option when joining is the drop down menu that lets you select the range of compensation you're looking for from your sugar daddy from "open or negotiable" or "less than $1,000USD monthly) to "up to $10,000USD monthly". I love this because I know firsthand how uncomfortable it can be for someone women to ask for what they want so this makes it much easier!
Another perk is that they offer a 3 month guarantee to members, meaning that if you don't meet someone in the first 3 months they will give you another 3 months absolutely free. That should give you an idea of just how confident they are in their service! Becoming a member of this site gets you unlimited photo uploads, unlimited messaging and instant messaging, Smart Match Detection, profile highlighting, and faster approval of your membership. And again, an awesome and well-stacked membership list to browse and date from. You get quality and quantity here with thousands of members in the US and Canada, as well as the rest of the world. And, the site also offers up the usual features that you expect from other dating sites, such as flirts, the ability to see who viewed your profile, and a favorites list. This is definitely one of your best sugar daddy dating site options in my books.
Our Rating of Marry Me Sugar Daddy:
Quality of Members: 5
Quantity of Members: 5
Site Design: 5
Navigation of Site: 5
Registration Process: 4.5
Pricing Options at Marry Me Sugar Daddy:
3 days – $0.99 per day

Esther (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Julie Wheelwright
Work details
Esther by Julie Wheelwright (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Esther Wheelwright lived in Maine at the turn of the 18th century with her prominent Puritan family. During a raid by French soldiers and Abenaki warriors, she was kidnapped and taken two hundred miles north and adopted into an Abenaki family. Five years later, at the age of twelve, her release from her adopted family was negotiated by a Jesuit, who took her to Quebec. Although her family worked very hard to recover her and tried to arrange for her to be restored to them, it was not to be. Esther did not want to return to Maine and be forced to give up her faith. Instead, she joined the Ursuline's in Quebec City and eventually became their Mother Superior during the period after the historic Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Fascinating story for anyone interested in Canadian or American history.
Julie Wheelwright's Esther contains two parallel storylines. The first is a biography of the author's ancestor, Esther Wheelwright, who was born into a strict Puritan family and eventually became a Catholic Mother Superior. The second is the author's struggle to understand the motivations behind Esther's transformation. The two narratives are seamlessly woven together, allowing the reader access to the minds and hearts of both women.....This approach allows Wheelwright to stay neutral in recounting historical facts while still injecting emotion into the story, a style that should appeal even to reluctant readers of history. Wheelwright's care in exploring multiple viewpoints lends her book nuance and emphasizes the fact that there can be no definitive statements when three societies (English, Abenaki, and French) are so closely linked in one person.
Esther's story is a microcosm of the multicultural, multi-religious Canada we recognize today, and Julie Wheelwright does both her ancestor and her country justice in telling it.
In this highly readable and meticulously researched history, Julie Wheelwright explores the long and adventurous life of her distant relative, Esther Wheelwright: "Puritan Child, Native Daughter, Mother Superior." In doing so, Wheelwright provides a fascinating portrait of New England and New France in the 18th century, and of the complex negotiations among the French, the English and the Abenaki as they battled over land, religion and hunting rights.......As for Julie Wheelwright, she remarks, "My research into Esther's life has opened my eyes and my ears to another way of understanding the past." It is our great good fortune that she shares that understanding with her readers. We too, in these pages, learn the enduring power of story.

Looks like a better method than watching for blue smoke. Now, if only I could find some temperature-sensitive ink to dip these in so I could see what it's doing… I wouldn't want to touch the one in the fourth picture.

I am a devoted reader of Do the Math, Ethan Iverson's blog. (He's the pianist in The Bad Plus, and an absolutely remarkable writer on various aspects of jazz and other topics.)
On a couple of posts he's used the word "hit" as a synonym of "gig." Example (rough paraphrases): "We had a good hit last night in Philly" or "...the last tour involved a few hits with Joe Blow on guitar." Is this a newer slang expression? An older term I've somehow overlooked? I've done a fair amount of reading about jazz (books by or about Miles, Coltrane, Mingus, interviews and oral histories, etc) and have some experience as a (very) amateur musician, and yet this usage is completely new to me. And I've combed through several standard online dictionaries/thesauruses and lists of jazz slang, and nowhere do I see "hit" defined in this way.
I'm also going to post this to a jazz discussion forum.

About Me
I should update this..
My lists, have pictures I would like to recreate with my own twist, if your asking ideas. If your on my list "the crazies", that just means it's one of my AB FAB favorite!
Also, pretty much all my pictures haven't been crazy retouched. What you see is what you get.
Other links, with more pictures...
Modeling is a hobby for me, I enjoy being in front of the camera, playing "dress up" and hopefully making art. Not that I'm not trying to make a living out of it, but then again everyone wants their job to be there hobby.
I prefer more colorful unique fun shoots, pin up, goth or alternative look, but really game for just about anything.
I also am huge into cars, muscle or imports, and would love to do shoots with nice cars, because nothing says sexy more then a nice ride and a good looking girl to go along with it. I really would love to become a car model.
I have many piercings and tattoo's.
Snake bites, double eyebrow piercing, double naval piercing, nipples, and gauged ears (9/16's, larger then half a inch), double eyebrow.
I have a angel and devil girls on my chest, cross on my inner arm, stars on my hips, and a flower with tribal on my lower back.
My hair is long blond with black underneath.
So I don't have the "main stream" look....
I'm really looking to update my pictures and have some fun with it. I need a better port =]
On the subject of shooting nudes, that all depends on what kind of shoot, who's shooting, and what the pictures are being used for. Implied or lingerie I'm okay with. But if shooting any type of nude I do have rates ($50/hour), unless your someone I really want to shoot with.
I'm interested in working with other female models, specially ones who would compliment both our look.
Also, please keep it professional. I have a great sense of humor, and love to have fun, but I also am on this site to do work and make art. Please no trying to use this as a dating site first off. Please make sure to give and get all details before the shoot. I expect copies of at least some of photos, CD, email, copy and paste, but please do not have a shoot with me and not return the photos. It's not vary nice. I do check references, and if you like you may check any of mine.
Other then that, if your interested in working together please email me, and we can work something out. =]
Molly Desmond
::Attention, I want to do more fetish/bloody photo shoots!!::
Note, sorry, at the moment if your wanting me to drive to your locate I'll be needing some gas money. In less of course I'm contacting you. =]

In various parts of the City of London this week, analysts are scratching their heads and trying to answer one question: should they lend more money to Dubai?
A stellar cast of investment bankers from Standard Chartered, HSBC, Emirates NBD and UBS has been hired to sell the Dubai Government's 10-year dollar bond with a five-year put option.
This follows the sale of five and 10-year bonds by the Government of Dubai in October last year that carry a coupon of 6.7 per cent and 7.75 per cent respectively, according to data from Reuters.

Systematic assessment of severe asthma can be used to confirm the diagnosis, identify comorbidities, and address adherence to therapy. However, the prospective usefulness of this approach is yet to be established. The objective of this study was to determine whether the systematic assessment of severe asthma is associated with improved quality of life (QoL) and health-care use and, using prospective data collection, to compare relevant outcomes in patients referred with severe asthma to specialist centers across the United Kingdom.
Data from the National Registry for dedicated UK Difficult Asthma Services were used to compare patient demographics, disease characteristics, and health-care use between initial assessment and a median follow-up of 286 days.
The study population consisted of 346 patients with severe asthma. At follow-up, there were significant reductions in health-care use in terms of primary care or ED visits (66.4% vs 87.8%, P < .0001) and hospital admissions (38% vs 48%, P = .0004). Although no difference was noted in terms of those requiring maintenance oral corticosteroids, there was a reduction in steroid dose (10 mg [8-20 mg] vs 15 mg [10-20 mg], P = .003), and fewer subjects required short-burst steroids (77.4% vs 90.8%, P = .01). Significant improvements were seen in QoL and control using the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Asthma Control Questionnaire.
To our knowledge, this is the first time that a prospective study has shown that a systematic assessment at a dedicated severe asthma center is associated with improved QoL and asthma control and a reduction in health-care use and oral steroid burden.

Thou shalt not steal.
So sayeth a complaint filed in Utah's federal court by TOPNEST, also known as Nest Entertainment. The company alleges an online marketer is ripping off its animated biblical movies and selling and displaying the pirated content on YouTube.
In its filing, Nest Entertainment says it complained to YouTube about the illegal activity, but no action was taken after Lulian Costache Ploiesti of Romania allegedly claimed he had a contract to distribute the video content in the Romanian language.
Thou shalt not lie, says Nest Entertainment.
"No such contract exists," states the lawsuit filed by the company, which is registered in Texas but operates in Ogden.

Georgia Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Government Transparency

See OCGA § 50-14-1 (e) (2)…To adopt a contrary holding that agencies possess discretion to decline to record the names of those voting against a proposal or abstaining in the case of a non-roll-call vote would potentially deny non-attending members of the public access to information available to those who attended a meeting."

Holiday fitness gifts can cheer elite athletes and amateurs
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - From jogging strollers to smart bathroom scales and waterproof watches, fitness experts say holiday gifts cater to all types of exercisers, from the new mom shedding baby weight to the seasoned triathlete chasing a performance boost.
Technology remains in the forefront, as gadgets grow ever more user-friendly, compact and sophisticated.
"The ideal holiday gift is some kind of fitness tracker: these simple tools you can just wear on your wrist," said Neal Pire, an exercise physiologist with the American College of Sports Medicine.
"Five years ago, pedometers just measured steps. Now they're counting calories and even sleep."
A waterproof, shockproof, dustproof smartphone case is among the suggestions of Shirley Archer, a Los Angeles-based trainer and author of "Fitness 9 to 5."
"Many use their phones for training with fitness apps, so everyone needs to protect it from sweat and impact," said Archer, who also recommends a walking/jogging belt with room for water bottle(s) and pockets for smartphone, identification and keys.
"These have really improved over the years," she said.
For people who like walking or running with their four-legged companion, Archer suggests a hands-free dog leash that hooks on to a belt or bicycle. Continued...

Top Cake Business Mistakes
CakeBoss has been helping cake bakers get their businesses organized since 2007, and in that time we've begun to notice some often-repeated mistakes that could be avoided with some planning and forethought. Here are a few.
1. Not having a pricing structure set before taking orders.
After you take an order is not the time to wonder how much you should charge. Many people fall into the cake decorating business almost by accident, having never given a thought to pricing. Your first order of business should be figuring out your expenses and your pricing structure. It is acceptable to get the details of an order from the customer and then say "Let me work up a quote and get back to you in an hour." This is a much, much better alternative than just tossing out a number off the top of your head, and then regretting it later. Never – EVER – book an order without discussing the cost with the customer. This only leads to misunderstandings and heartache. Avoiding the question of price and payment and then expecting to work it out at delivery is both unprofessional and unfair to everyone involved. For more information on cake pricing, see our
article on how to price your cakes
2. Not having set policies before taking orders.
When will you collect payment - at the time the order is placed, or on delivery? Will you require a deposit? (Hint: YES) Is the deposit refundable? Will you take personal checks? Will you deliver, and if so, how much will you charge for delivery? Will you charge for tastings? Will you limit the number of people who can attend a tasting? (Hint: YES) How far in advance must wedding cakes be paid in full? Will you leave the cake at a party without having received payment? (Hint: NO! Take that cake and walk right back out the door!) Will you have a minimum order amount? (Hint: YES) Think about all these things and more before the orders start rolling in! Here is a
sample of our cake contract to get you started.
3. Not having a planned menu before taking orders.
A paid order is not the time to be trying new recipes. Decide what flavors (cake, frosting, filling) you will offer. Make sure your recipes are tried, true, and delicious! Decide now what you will say when a customer asks for a cake that's not on your menu, or asks you to make her Great-Great-Great-Grandma's recipe for banana cake. (Hint: NO)
4. Letting the customer be the (cake) boss.
Customers don't get to decide how you run your business. What will you do if a bridezilla comes to you with a picture of a beautiful fondant cake, but demands that you make it with cream cheese frosting because fondant is "gross"? That is a
Cake Wreck
waiting to happen. We once read a story of a bride who demanded that no support be put in her cake because she didn't want "wooden sticks" in her cake. The cake collapsed because the cake maker agreed to this request! YOU are the boss of your business. YOU are the expert. If a customer asks you for something that's unrealistic, tell them so. Don't risk a headache or disaster just to make the sale. Some sales aren't worth it.
5. Reproducing copyrighted characters on paid cakes without obtaining permission from the copyright holder.
Mickey Mouse. Sponge Bob. Elmo. All are extremely popular cake requests by parents, and fun cakes to make! The problem is, they are all copyrighted characters, which means that you may not reproduce them for profit without first obtaining permission from the copyright holder (which in some cases is virtually impossible or cost prohibitive). See our
article on copyrighted cakes
written by attorney Michael Atkins.
6. Not checking into local health regulations before taking orders.
Research the law in your state to make sure you are compliant with all necessary regulations.
7. Airing personal or dirty laundry on social media.
This is a new issue, arising the last several years as cottage food laws and social media have both exploded in popularity. If you have a business Facebook page, or Twitter account, we strongly advise that you keep the posts on these media strictly business related. Posts under your business name on social media should have one goal: to further your business. Posts about your personal life, a feud with another colleague, or anything that could be considered a "rant" will have the opposite effect on your business; they will make your customers less inclined to take you seriously.

As you run, and as leptin is working better in your body, leptin can do a rather miraculous thing. It can turn on a system in your muscles that disposes of calories as heat. This is done by activating something called an uncoupling protein in your muscles. Now, instead of making energy and heat, your muscles can just make heat out of calories, literally throwing the calories away. This is a fantastic fat burning method. You can boost this uncoupling protein response by taking coenzyme Q10 before you exercise. Here are other helpful nutrients supportive of aerobic exercise.*
Pantethine is the co-enzyme form of vitamin B5, which helps make the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase that clears many aldehyde-based chemicals common in today's pollution (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde). Acetaldehyde is the breakdown product of alcohol as well as the toxin produced by Candida. Pantethine is especially good at clearing brain fog. Because pantethine also provides your liver energy (Acetyl CoA), including energy to help metabolize stuck fatty sludge out of your liver, it can help detoxification and liver function in multiple ways (including Phase 2 acetylation) and works well with Daily Balancer™ for any person wanting more comprehensive liver support - especially during weight loss efforts.*
Cardio Helper™
Contains high amounts of resveratrol and grape seed extract, two nutrients that assist insulin function while being highly protective to your circulatory system. Along with hawthorn and horse chestnut, this product also provides comprehensive support for your cardiovascular system while at the same time protects and strengthens the heart. Supports healthy fluid balance, especially in legs.*
Magnesium, Muscle Mag™
A special formulation of magnesium bound to malic acid, with important co-factors. Malic acid is the most important Krebs Cycle nutrient that prevents muscle fatigue. Magnesium enables muscle to relax, so they do not tighten up too much.*
Q 10, CoQ10
Q10 enhances the use of oxygen in energy production within a cell. Muscles have the highest oxygen use of any tissue in the body, thus a lack of Q10 may cause muscle fatigue. Q10 helps activate uncoupling protein for increased fat burning during sustained exercise.*
Q10, Super CoQ10 Ubiquinol
The Ubiquinol form of Q10 is an excellent antioxidant nutrient. It supports cellular energy production and cardiovascular health.*

The author is upset! His contention is that our leadership is not only incompetent and corrupt, but that it has been deceiving us right from the start in order to fulfill the Left's agenda of shaping the people to its will and the Right's of ripping everyone off. He lists his complaints and then his suggestions. He has a plan: a new political party called the Centrists that would be honest and incorruptible and would run things for the benefit of all the citizens - not just the rich or the far left with its Socialist agenda. If you sat down and wrote about the things that upset you, what would be your suggestions to make things better? In this book, you'll be presented not just with our present problems but with specific, tangible, and creative solutions to them. Things must change; the current situation is not good for the Nation or the vast majority of its citizens. Here is a plan to make the United States a model of freedom and honesty for the rest of the world. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note from Author After much dissatisfaction with the way things had been going in the USA over my lifetime I began to list my complaints, and my suggested solutions. The result in this book is the need for a new political party, as we all know that we are now represented by the far right and the equally far left. Why can't we have an honest incorruptible centrist political party?

Wouldn't it be great if, through learning from each other and listening to each other, we could produce fire and faithfulness, power and precision, energetic worship and exegetical wisdom? After all, aren't we commanded to love God with all our heart and all our mind and all our soul and all our strength?
Just think of what happens when there is holy cross-pollination! To the extent that we have both Word and power, truth and Spirit operating in our lives, it will be life-giving for us and helpful for others.

I am so impressed with the quality of these drapes!! They are rich and thick, with a luxurious sheen. The color is peacock blue, they look wonderful in full daylight and in soft indoor lighting. I am very impressed with this manufacturer and will be looking for more in other colors.
yesimakehomes from Charleston, SC 05/31/2014
I ordered these curtains to go in a new house, so they didn't get put up for awhile. When I did put them up, they totally changed my gloomy day to happiness. They are so beautiful and made so well. The lining makes them hang well. Took them to a paint store and got a color about 4 shades lighter - now my living room looks like a tiffany jewelry box. I have cherry flooring so these drapes complimented that color tone.. They are also great light and heat blockers.
sophiemae333 from Indiana 05/31/2014
My dining area is mostly teal & peacock, I took a chance on these curtains since the color says Mediterranean. They look like peacock to me and they match everything in the room perfectly. They are a heavy drape and look just like expensive silk drapes.

debbiek97 from Washington 05/31/2014
These curtain panels are my (final!) splurge on my bedroom. The cost is pretty high but the quality is obvious. These curtains are thick, they are lined and weighted at the hem. I cannot say enough about the stunning color. There is a bit of shimmer, great weight and a real feeling of elegance! I love these curtains. They are heavy and lined enough to black out the light when closed, and the color and flow adds that glamor when open. I'm just going to lay in bed and gaze upon my dramatic, sumptuous window treatments. Simply and perfectly stunning!
globalshell from La Jolla, CA 05/31/2014
Haivng never ordered something like this online before I was a bit hesitant. However I love these they are perfect and look exactly like they appear online, except they are better! I would highly reccomend these to anyone who is in need of a heavy drape with great quality fabric and a heavy liner.
kathrynlc from Cape Coral Florida 05/31/2014
My HOA required white lined curtains for any room that shows to the street. These were so pretty that I decided I wanted them in a room we lived in more and moved them, requiring me to buy another 2 panels to fit the window. The first set is very smooth and silky. the 2nd set feels a bit rougher- in truth they probably just need ironed out and they would feel the same. The color matches perfectly between the 2 sets, which was a worry since they had sold out for a bit. These curtains are awesome. They are great for sun blocking and have such a rich color.
kimakazi from FL 05/31/2014
These curtain panels are beautiful faux silk. However, in the picture the panels look blue. They are actually a deep teal color.
jbritt321 from Florida 05/31/2014
I ordered 4 of these panels for my formal dining room. They add a sophistication to the room that all my friends rave about. Make sure you buy a quality curtain rod because these panels are very thick and heavy. The color is gorgeous and I'm actually now considering putting them in my formal living room. Definitely worth the price. You won't be disappointed
guytondd from Upper Marlboro MD 05/31/2014
I think this is an absolutely beautiful drapery. The color is rich and vibrant but not over-powering. The quality of the fabric is amazingly rich looking. If you are decorating with a Mediterranean blue then this is the drapery for you. If you are looking for more peacock color... this is not your curtain. Could make an interesting contrast though. Either way, I give this drapery a thumbs UP!
fethe2 from Maryland 05/31/2014

Love these drapes. It took me quite a while to find the perfect color and texture of drapes I needed for my guest room, so when I found these I was thrilled. They are beautiful and very elegant, exactly the look I was wanted.
veetles from Plattsburgh NY 05/31/2014
I was looking for the drapes in peacock blue color for quite a while. I found some that had peacock feathers print, but never solid ones. When i saw them here i was not sure at first that the color will match with my dinning room, but decided to order them anyway and i'm happy that i did! They were a perfect match! Very satisfied! Quality is great! p.s.They are pretty heavy, so if your drapery rod is thin, that can be a problem.
karamelka from Sacramento, CA 05/31/2014
These are higher quality, well-made drapes for the price. My only issue is that they are a bit shiny for my liking, but I have decided to keep them anyway and use them in my master bedroom for a touch of "hollywood glam." If you are put off by the sheen, I suggest ordering a higher priced, real silk drape.
smartshopperinnorcal from northern CA 05/31/2014
This panel really is gorgeous. The fabric is heavy, has a good sheen to it, and looks very expensive. However, when the light shines through it, it's definitely has a lot of green in it, while in the picture it looks very blue.
educk from San Diego, CA 05/31/2014
I ordered these curtains and was SOOOOO sad that they didn't work with my decor. I thought they were a very blue teal .Turns out; they are the green-blue kind of teal. The color is lovely, but green just doesn't work with the paint color. The curtains are darker than they appear, but don't be confused, the color is very rich. They just have bright, white lights on them. I have the typical incandescent lights (more yellow) and that seams to really bring out the green. I'd say, under my lighting, they are 50% blue and %50 green. I would have given them 5 stars if they were the bright blue I imagined. I had to send them back...so very sad about that.
sherry78 from Chicago, Il 05/31/2014
Amazing! My living room is magazine ready! Love the color...teal and brown are a perfect match for me. If you want perfect rich looking blue curtains, buy these. I get so many compliments on my curtains...its amazing. Their also the "in color" so they are very easy to match up with throw pillows and decor! Buy these!! You won't regret it...
Exactly what I wanted…..I already had beautiful velvet dinning chair cushions in a teal color from Pier One. I hoped the mediterranean color would go these would go with the cushions. They are almost a perfect match. Beautifully made and rich looking in my dinning room.

Beautiful sheen. Color- Quality well made.

I received these curtains today, Solid Faux Silk Taffeta Mediterranean 84-inch Curtain Panel. I am comparing them to the pictures on the website, and I am saying to myself these curtains do not look blue at all. They are green. The description on plastic bag matches the website. So I know I was shipped the correct item. If you want to see the accurate color of these curtains, search for curtain item number 13928878 (Peacock Vintage Faux Textured Dupioni Silk 84-inch Curtain Panel). This is a truer representation of their actual color. If you are looking for a green hue, these curtains are for you. If you are looking for blue curtains, keep looking. I found two options. Item 11899685 (Signature Winter Blue Textured Silk 84-inch Curtain Panel), which I will order next, and item 14094950 (Solid Faux Silk Taffeta Navy Blue 84-inch Curtain Panel), which I think might be too dark blue for my needs. However, it looks definitely blue and not green or gray. I hope this helps you save time and money.

"Nobody works as hard for his money as the man who marries it."
-- Frank McKinney Hubbard
Yahoo! in Talks With Excite@Home
Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) reportedly has been holding talks with Excite@Home (Nasdaq: ATHM) regarding a possible deal in which Yahoo! would acquire Excite@Home for "some amount greater than its current market value of $17 billion," according to Business Week Online.
Even though such a deal would give Yahoo! a much-needed entry into broadband, the company reportedly doesn't want to operate an infrastructure company like Excite@Home. What's more, AT&T (Nasdaq: T), the controlling shareholder in Excite@Home, wants to maintain influence over the high-speed Internet access business.
One scenario could involve Yahoo! absorbing Excite and spinning out the @Home business that would be controlled by Yahoo! and AT&T, Business Week Online reported. Another possibility is that AT&T could absorb the @Home business and combine it with its WorldNet Internet access service.
News to Go
A Los Angeles-based start-up company, Freemac.com, will begin giving away 1 million Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL) iMacs next month to customers who qualify for a Freemac-branded Visa card and agree to pay $19.95 a month for three years of Internet service, The New York Times reported. Freemac has partnered with Internet service provider Earthlink Network (Nasdaq: ELNK); First USA, the credit card unit of Bank One Corp. (NYSE: ONE); and Cybercash (Nasdaq: CYCH), an e-commerce company. Peter Max, the 1960s pop artist, will serve as spokesman and "chief creativity officer."
The largest shareholder of US Airways Group (NYSE: U), hedge fund group Tiger Management LLC, said it may seek a sale or merger of the airline following a year of weak stock performance. Tiger Management, which holds a 22.4% stake in the airline, said in a Schedule 13D filing that it's "currently exploring and may explore from time to time in the future a variety of alternatives designed to enhance shareholder value,'' which may include "a merger, sale, or recapitalization."
Quepasa.com (Nasdaq: PASA), which runs an online community for U.S. Hispanics, announced that it has fired Jeffrey Peterson, one of its co-founders and the company's chief technology officer. The company said it has filed a lawsuit against Peterson and one other employee, though it's unclear why exactly Peterson was fired and why he's being sued. In the meantime, the company has reappointed Bryan Ross, its former chief technology officer, to the position.

SANTA MONICA, CA – Human factors researchers at Florida State University have identified ways to improve electronic voting accuracy among older voters while also shortening waiting time at the polls. The results of their study were published in the fall 2007 issue of Ergonomics in Design.
During the 2000 presidential election in Palm Beach County, Florida, voting machines and ballot formats came under national scrutiny after it was found that more than 29,000 ballots were spoiled. The use of punchcard machines and a confusing ballot layout caused some voters to select an unintended candidate or double-punch the ballot. In 2004 in Ohio, the issue of time at the polls became a critical factor; despite the use of electronic voting machines, a confusing ballot layout and an insufficient number of machines caused long waiting lines and prevented some Ohioans from voting.
These problems led Tiffany Jastrzembski and Neil Charness to test ballot and machine usability with a particular focus on older voters, who – because of reduced vision and motor control – tend to have more problems using computers, especially under time pressure. These researchers adopted a gerontological approach, which implies that when systems are made easier for older people to use, performance among younger users also improves.
The researchers tested voting performance with 30 younger (18–26 years old) and 30 older (ages 64–77) study participants using four ballot layouts and machine designs: (a) touchscreen and full ballot on one screen, (b) touchscreen and one ballot per screen, (c) touchscreen plus keypad and full ballot on one screen, and (d) touchscreen plus keypad and one ballot per screen.
The pure touchscreen format with one ballot per screen was found to produce the most accurate results, but the pure touchscreen with full ballot on a single screen showed the fastest completion times. As is often the case with human-machine interfaces, there is a trade-off between accuracy and speed. Even a small percentage of errors could potentially result in hundreds of thousands of miscast ballots, which must be weighed against the need to reduce waiting times at the polls.
Jastrzembski and Charness recommend additional studies – again with older voters – that can lead to more user-friendly ballot design and electronic voting systems for users of all ages.

Someone's bauble, or
The work of a mind most deranged.
Just a machine, yet another work
Of one's hands.
A vast creation of brass cogs, copper plate
and copper bands.
What fools you outsiders are!
Letting your eyes and ears tell you what is
and isn't true.
My people are different,
Barbaric and superstitious in your eyes.
While our hearts are steeped in the old ways,
It is only your actions, not your customs
That we despise.
Beneath these cold scales and metal plate,
Beats a heart long-steeped in what is right.
You do not have to believe I am more than
The beast before you
Heed my words well, newcomers
While time remains for you still.
Please, for the sake of your own loved ones
Leave off your foolishness, lest it cause your blood to spill.
Remove the saws, drills and burning stench
Those trees have done your folk no harm.
The hills have no fingers to point, nor toothsome jaws to clench.
Disturb them, and they will bring naught but great alarm.
Give the forests and mountains time to repair,
If your lives you truly cherish.
Else your paths will darken all the quicker,
Before you slowly perish.
King am I,
Of mountain, hill, meadow and valley,
Wood and orchard alike.
Remember, now, you have been warned.
Do as I ask, otherwise,
They will make the first strike.
