2007 Nissan Murano ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
A benchmark for crossover utilities.
Nissan hit a home run when it launched the Murano. The Nissan Murano integrates function and high fashion. It combines sport-utility cargo capacity sporty driving dynamics. It is the quintessential crossover vehicle, an SUV based on a car.
The Murano shares aspects of SUVs and cars. It accelerates like a sports sedan and handles much better than your average midsize SUV. Named after a region of Italy known for its famous glassware, Murano emphasizes refinement and on-road confidence. Getting in and out is easy and the back seats are roomy enough for a couple of basketball players.
Yet, as with an SUV, the driver sits relatively high. Flop the back seats down and there's more than 80 cubic feet of cargo space available, which is a lot. It's much bigger than it looks, bigger than a midsize sedan, nearly as big as a Ford Explorer. You sense this on back roads, a feeling magnified by fenders that fall away and can't be seen from the driver's seat.
Also, while the Toyota and Honda were designed to offer seating for seven, Nissan resisted the temptation to cram three rows of seats where two fit more comfortably. As a result, the Murano accommodates five full-size adults nicely, just like a luxury sedan, and offers a nice, big cargo space.
The Murano was ahead of its time when it was introduced. It eschews the square look of a truck in favor of a modern aerodynamic design. The Murano features a sleek front end with smooth lines front to back, and a greenhouse that slopes rearward, ending in a graceful C-pillar. Inside, the instruments and controls seem to float in pods that appear barely attached to the dashboard.
The 3.5-liter V6 engine, the same basic powerplant used in the 350Z sports car, delivers hearty performance, tuned here to produce 240 horsepower. In short, the Murano scoots. It comes with a continuously variable automatic transmission, or CVT, that's smooth and responsive while offering good gas mileage for the class. Murano shares basic underpinnings with the front-wheel-drive Nissan Altima and Maxima sedans (but not, despite popular misconception, the Nissan 350Z-based Infiniti FX). As a result, its road-tuned suspension delivers smooth and sporty handling. All-wheel drive is available, for good grip and stability in wintry weather and hard rain, and we recommend getting it.
The Murano is unchanged for 2007, except for the addition of a tire-pressure monitor as standard equipment. Nissan freshened Murano's appearance a bit for 2006.
The 2007 Nissan Murano is available in three models: S ($27,750), SL ($29,300), and SE ($31,850).
The S and SL come standard with front-wheel drive (2WD); all-wheel drive (AWD) is an option ($1,600). The SE comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment. All models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that Nissan calls the Xtronic.
The Murano S comes standard with dual-zone automatic temperature control, a high-power AM/FM/CD audio system, power windows with auto up/down feature in front, keyless remote entry, reclining rear seats, tire pressure monitor and large 18-inch alloy wheels. Options include a Convenience package ($800) that includes a 10-way adjustable driver's seat, roof rails, adjustable pedals, and a cargo cover and net.
The SL adds a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat, upgraded audio with steering wheel controls, a compass, a garage door opener, automatic headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power outlets, fog lights, and an alarm. SL and SE models are distinguished by brushed aluminum trim on the rear bumper and chrome accents along the sides.
The SE comes with a firmer, sport-tuned suspension; a manual shift mode for its transmission; high-intensity xenon headlights; uniquely styled alloy wheels; and dark-silver lower bumpers.
Options for SL and SE include a Premium package ($1,650), which adds a more powerful Bose stereo with subwoofer, auto volume control and satellite radio pre-wiring to the contents of the Convenience package. The Sunroof package ($2,650) adds an electric sunroof to the Premium package. The SL and SE Leather packages ($2,750) add leather upholstery and a four-way power front passenger seat; they can be combined with the Sunroof package ($3,650). The Touring Package ($4,700) includes all Premium, Sunroof, and Leather Package contents plus heated front seats with memory, Intelligent Key, heated mirrors, adjustable pedals and HID headlights for the SL. The Touring Package with Satellite Radio ($5,050) combines all that with the customer's choice of XM or Sirius satellite radio. A DVD navigation system ($1800) is also available. The rear-seat DVD entertainment package ($1,720) comes with a seven-inch drop-down screen, remote control and two wireless headsets. A chrome wheel package is available for SL and SE ($1,200).
Safety features that come standard on all models include dual-stage frontal air bags with seat belt sensors, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-cabin curtain style head-protection airbags, and active front head restraints. Rollover sensors for the airbag system activate the airbags in the event of a pending rollover. Murano also comes standard with four-wheel vented disc brakes with ABS, Brake Assist and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). A Dynamic Control Package ($750), which combines Vehicle Dynamic Control (an electronic stability control system) with Traction Control, is available on SL and SE.
The Murano is named after the glass sculpted in the islands near Venice. The glass is known for its beauty as well as for the high-tech methods used in its production. In the Nissan Murano, this duality is most obvious in the styling.
The Murano is designed to blend the look of a car and a truck. The top half of the body is sleek like a car, while the bottom half is bulky like a truck. Overall, the look is much sleeker than tall box-shaped SUVs. At first it looks a bit over the top, but most people quickly get used to it and traditional SUVs start looking boxy and dated by comparison.
Big 18-inch wheels contribute to Murano's muscular styling. Sculpted, vertical-stack projector headlights define the front corners. The windshield and front side windows are tinted green to deflect UV radiation; the rear side windows and backlight are darkly tinted for privacy.
The highly styled rear hatchback is made of reinforced plastic because steel won't bend easily in such a complex shape. The hatch is heavy, however, and the lift point isn't ideally located, so it takes some effort to raise and lower, and this is perhaps our biggest complaint with the Murano.
As its looks suggest, the Murano is an aerodynamic machine. Details in the design help it slip quietly through the air. Airflow-improving devices include an underbody engine cover, front and rear tire deflectors, a rear spoiler, and aerodynamic mirrors. Combined with the low frontal area and roof, these enhancements increase fuel efficiency and limit wind noise at high speeds.
To finish the high-fashion look, Nissan offers 10 exterior colors with four interior hues to mix and match. The colors were chosen carefully to promote a luxury look.
Climbing into the Nissan Murano couldn't be easier. The seating position and steering wheel orientation make it feel more like a car than an SUV. Slide into the driver's seat and you'll notice outward visibility is excellent in all directions. This isn't a small vehicle, though, and you can't see the corners of the fenders, so you'll need to be extra careful when parking. The view rearward, however, is not compromised as much as we had expected by the stylishly thick D-pillars.
The front seats are comfortable and supportive, even for people well over six feet tall. Petite drivers are also able to get comfortable, with optional power-adjustable pedals that help ensure a good driving position without getting too close to the steering wheel where the air bag is housed. The overall interior fit and finish are good. Murano's instrument cluster is garnished with genuine brushed aluminum trim that gives it a younger, sportier look. Wood-tone trim is available in the SL, but the aluminum trim seems more appropriate here. The gauges have a classy grayish background with amber backlighting. Steering wheel audio controls are illuminated.
A prominent pod juts from the center of the dash presenting audio and climate controls. A seven-inch color LCD screen enhances usability and access to vehicle information. We aren't in love with the appearance of the pod, but it puts the switches close at hand. The dual-zone, fully automatic climate control is a step above the class, and it features rear air conditioning vents located on the B-pillars, a useful feature for pet owners as well as those who regularly carry rear-seat passengers.
The stereo controls are on the small side, but easy to use once you get the hang of them. The preset buttons, for example, can be programmed to select your favorite stations regardless of whether they are AM or FM; this eliminates the need to press a separate mode button when switching from your favorite FM music station to your favorite AM talk radio station, making life easier and reducing distraction while driving. Controls on the steering wheel allow easy volume adjustments.
Customers can order either XM or Sirius satellite radio as an addition to the Touring package. Though you do have to pay an annual subscription fee, we've found satellite radio to be a nice feature to have in a car, allowing us to listen to 24 hour news stations, such as Fox News and CNN, as well as every imaginable type of music, comedy, and sports; and there's no need to ever switch stations should you decide to drive from, say, Atlanta to Seattle.
The optional navigation system works well and includes a nifty three-dimensional birds-eye view that's sometimes more fun to follow than the flat map.
Useful features make the Murano a satisfying car for day-to-day use. A large center console separates the front seats, enhancing the sports sedan feel of the interior. The center console features a two-tiered lockable storage box with enough room for a laptop computer or a purse, cell phone, sunglasses, coins, cups and bottles. The door pockets flip out for easy access, and there's a hidden storage tray and two bins under the cargo floor. There are also three power outlets: front-passenger footwell, center console and rear.
The cabin is roomy and feels airy. The Murano is a five-seat vehicle with similar interior space as the seven-seat Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot.
As a result, the back seat offers limousine legroom. We found that a six-foot, four-inch passenger could cross his legs comfortably in the back seat. The rear seatback easily adjusts for rake by pulling a strap, allowing your back-seat passengers to kick back and enjoy the ride (though they may need help finding the rake adjustment). We found Murano's rear accommodations more comfortable than the second-row seats in many SUVs where passengers sit more upright. The optional DVD rear-seat entertainment system.
Driving Impression
The Nissan Murano is enjoyable to drive. It handles more like a car than like a truck and better than other vehicles in this class. It's a relatively sporty vehicle with quick acceleration and responsive handling. Its smooth ride and powerful engine make for enjoyable highway travel as well.
Nissan's 240-hp V6 feels mighty healthy in spite of the Murano's considerable heft at just under 4,000 pounds. The Murano feels as quick as a sports sedan. Throttle response is strong any time you tap the pedal, a benefit of 244 pound-feet of torque. Towing isn't its forte, as with others in this class, but the Murano can tow up 3500 pounds.
The continuously variable transmission is responsive and fuel efficient. Unlike a four-speed automatic, there are no perceptible gear changes. It works steplessly. As you accelerate, instead of shifting through gears, the CVT uses variable-diameter pulleys connected by a complex steel belt to change ratios continuously and transfer engine torque to the driveshafts. It changes ratios more smoothly than a normal automatic does, allowing the engine to rev at a speed that's most efficient for acceleration. This also improves fuel economy. Front-wheel-drive Muranos delivers an impressive 20/25 mpg city/highway, according to EPA estimates.
The CVT in the Murano has just three ranges: D for normal driving, S for sportier acceleration and L for the lowest range. Shifting from D to S raises engine revs 2500 rpm at a given road speed. Dropping from S to L increases engine speed by another 1000 rpm. Rev the engine near its 6600rpm redline and the ratio automatically reduces, thereby lowering the engine revs as the Murano's speed increases. Engine braking is programmed into the electronics that control the CVT, so when you're coasting down a steep hill, accelerometers sense this condition and increase the effective gear ratio, which is akin to downshifting a conventional transmission.
Fortunately, you don't need to understand any of this, or even be aware of it, to drive the Murano. We are particularly impressed with how quiet this transmission is compared to conventional automatics. Acceleration is quicker than with a conventional automatic and it's impressively smooth. Indeed, at first it may feel too smooth. It's surprising how deeply we're conditioned by the operation of an engine and conventional automatic transmission. The Murano's sensation of acceleration without an increase in the engine's pitch or speed takes some getting used to.
Handling is impressive. We found that the Murano rides and handles better than a Honda Pilot, and we liked its ride and handling better than other mid-priced SUVs. Murano's road manners are as impressive as its smooth drivetrain. The steering feels quick during turn-in, and the big 18-inch tires refrain from squealing until they are truly at the edge of cornering adhesion, increasing the driver's confidence that Murano will respond like a well-sorted sedan. It does just that up to about 8/10ths of its performance envelope, at which point it begins to understeer. Hitting a big bump at the apex of a corner doesn't upset its handling.
All-wheel drive takes much of the stress out of driving under rainy or snowy conditions. It improves overall traction and reduces the likelihood of skids, so it's well worth having for bad weather or emergency lane-change maneuvers. The Murano's all-wheel-drive system drives the front wheels until wheelspin is detected, at which point the center differential can redirect up to half of the power to the rear wheels.
The brakes are highly effective and easy to modulate for smooth stops. The braking system includes four-wheel vented disc brakes with Brake Assist, which helps ensure maximum braking force in a panic stop, and electronic brake-force Distribution (EBD), which reduces stopping distances and improves stability by dynamically distributing the braking f.
The Nissan Murano offers the roominess and practicality of a sport utility with the handling, power and smoothness of a sporty sedan. Murano comes well equipped and its luxurious ambience gives it the feel of a luxury SUV.

Wouldn't happen to be Hell would it?as a very important long held 'belief' rests upon the correct understanding of 'aionios'.
LMD wrote:I was led to this page regarding the above article which I wrote. I just wanted to clear something up about what modus said. He said "that is the etymological fallacy" regarding my examination of the word parts. However, to my knowledge the etymological fallacy says that it is not correct to assume the meaning of the word based SOLELY on its etymology. That is why I was careful to say "one useful way to discover a word's meaning..." Even dictionaries use etymology simply as one way to communicate meaning even just to show how the meaning changed. Etymology is just one way, but not the only way. I think I should have driven that point home a little more, by not only focusing on the Biblical usage to follow, but also in contemporary secular society showing alternative usage.
LMD wrote:Just curious, do you believe the King James Bible translators were incorrect in their translation of aphtharsia as "immortality?" The basic meaning of aphtharsia is incorruptible, but most scholars agree that the general meaning is immortality.
LMD wrote:Protestant Christians do think the KJV is infallible. They are the ones who will insist that aionios means eternal of its own merit, and in all cases.
The Justinian quote does show that he is equating a sense of endlessness to aionios life, and endlessness to punishment to reinforce aionios as endless. So also with Olympiadorus. And it is especially interesting that Justinian says that in opposition/contrast to Origin (who used the same word) who taught remedial aionios kolasin. I don't see why aionios must mean eternal in either case.
Yes, God is not subject to death by nature, or decay. However, I see no reason why either one could not be used to communicate a sense of conscious immortality. In the case of the NT they use both synonymously. But that does mean that you don't have to wonder why the translaters associated "non perishable" with God; it's because the Greek writers do it. BTW, just as a side note it is very interesting that the Bible contrasts "aionios kolasin" with "aionios zoe" rather than contrasting it with "anathasia zoe" (not a biblical term) or "apharthsia zoe" (not a biblical term). I just think that's interesting.
modus.irrealis wrote:About Olympiadorus, I'm now sure I misunderstood him. (The Greek passage is available online at http://www.toxolyros.gr/index.php?optio ... Itemid=857 if anybody's interested.) I stopped reading but in what comes after, he explicitly makes a distinction between aidios and aionios, so I don't understand why he seems to mix the two in the passage I quoted. But the distinction he makes is interesting, he takes aionios to mean being all in the now (he says we call god aionios because his existence is not in time but all time, present, past and future, is like now to him) while aidios means existing for all time (we don't call god aidios because his existence is not in time).
I'm still confused by the passage -- he says some sins are incurable and says the punishments are everlasting, and yet it's not to be understood as meaning for all ages. The only thing I can think of is that what he has in mind is a series of ages (or perhaps a cycle of ages), within which time exists and within which the punishment is everlasting, but the age might come to an end and the punishments with it. But you can ignore my comments on that passage now, since I'm not quite sure what to conclude from it.
modus.irrealis wrote:My point was that it doesn't show that aionios required any qualifications to mean endlessness, as you claimed. If you look at Justinian's argument he see "aionios" as itself implying endlessness, as he quotes 2 Thess 1:9, where his only point could be the use of aionios.
modus.irrealis wrote:How do you know they're used synonymously? I read something like 1 Cor. 15:53-54 and see them as clearly having different meanings, and I don't see why that should be any different in the other contexts.
Damoetas wrote:αἰώνιος means "eternal, endless;" everyone in the ancient world knew that. If you want to argue against the existence of hell, it would be simpler just to argue that the Bible is wrong.
CoxRox wrote:εὐχαριστῶ σοι (hope that's right!!)
In Dutch the exact same thing happens. The word eeuw means age. Age as in a long time but also a 100 year period. The adjective eeuwig means eternal and the noun eeuwigheid means eternity. In certain contexts this eternity is not literal of course; sometimes it can mean a period that appears to be without end.If 'aion' means 'age', then why does 'aionios' not mean 'pertaining to an age'?
Bert wrote:I just want to caution against using etymology to determine the meaning of words;
LMD wrote:But whether or not Justinian believed aionios meant eternity is beside the point. You could be right, maybe he did think that, or maybe he did not. Let's say Justinian did honsestly believe aionios means eternal. The very fact that he was there to contradict a contemporary of his who who taught at the Alexandria school, who taught remedial punishment from the same scriptures, caused Justinian to be in a position to reinforce aionios as endless to whomever was judging his position. Today, we don't need to say eternally eternal. We just take the word to be eternal and enough on its own terms to communicate endlessness. But Justinian's strategy reveals that not to be as widely acceptable in his time, among his detractors.So he reinforced aionios with endlessness to try to clarify what he meant by "aionios." It was an argument he had to make to prove his doctrine, which others obviously did not believe based on the same scriptures.
Otherwise, he could say "these universalists are idiots, it says aionios kolasin. Period, end of story." But he couldn't do that because not everyone would agree with that view of aionios kolasin. And what is worse, is that he says that the Bible teaches endless ateleutetos punishment (kolasin?) to the wicked. It's just worth noting that the Bible never associates "ateleutetos" with "kolasin."
Damoetas wrote:The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG - http://www.tlg.uci.edu/) is probably the most comprehensive database, but it requires a subscription. If you are connected with a university that subscribes, or if live near one, that's probably your best bet. There's also Diogenes, which runs on free software, but you have to pay to download the database. Perseus is free (and hosted on various sites: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/PERSEUS/ or here http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/) and contains a huge number of Greek texts, although probably not as many as the TLG. Perhaps other Textkit users have other suggests, but I hope those are a good start!
LMD wrote:At the time of the NT writing, they referred to "hades" which means "unseen." In that day Hades was also known as a pagan underworld. The question is, did the Bible refer to the pagan Hades, or the pure meaning of "unseen" which was another way of implying "grave." It is pretty clear that "hades" is used as the equivalent of the Hebrew "sheol" which in itself greatly differs from the pagan Greek concept of otherworld Hades, within the Bible.
modus.irrealis wrote:ut he doesn't say "eternally endless" -- he uses the fact that the word aionios is used to prove that it means "endless", which you could certainly do with the English word "eternal." The things is, you could just as easily say that certain authors began using arguments based on the word's morphological makeup and so people had to respond that what the word means is "eternal."
modus.irrealis wrote:That is pretty much what he does say. He says that Holy Scripture and the Holy Fathers clearly teach that the punishment has no end, and asks what sort of restoration (apokatastasis) do those who side with Origen imagine. (And technically, he says the Church teaches an ateleutetos punishment).
modus.irrealis wrote:You're on shakier ground here -- it's a conjecture that Hades etymologically means "unseen". The word, as far as I can see, is never attested with that meaning, and so it's an extraordinary claim that the NT writers would have used it in that sense.
modus.irrealis wrote:so it's not surprising that Jews felt comfortable using the word for their own concept.
Only a minority, more like a fringe minority of Protestants believe that.Protestant Christians do think the KJV is infallible.
You cannot talk about word usage in the NT without talking about Hebrew word usage, since the NT is inextribly linked to the ancient Hebrew manuscripts and taught from them. The NT writers would have deferred word usage to the meaning of scriptures they were trying to teach and expound upon, which they do frequently. The Septuagint renders the Hebrew sheol as hades. James Tabor wrote:
"The ancient Hebrews had no idea of an immortal soul living a full and vital life beyond death, nor of any resurrection or return from death. Human beings, like the beasts of the field, are made of "dust of the earth," and at death they return to that dust (Gen. 2:7; 3:19). The Hebrew word nephesh, traditionally translated "living soul" but more properly understood as "living creature," is the same word used for all breathing creatures and refers to nothing immortal...All the dead go down to Sheol, and there they lie in sleep together — whether good or evil, rich or poor, slave or free (Job 3:11-19). It is described as a region "dark and deep," "the Pit," and "the land of forgetfulness," cut off from both God and human life above (Pss. 6:5; 88:3-12). Though in some texts Yahweh's power can reach down to Sheol (Ps. 139:8), the dominant idea is that the dead are abandoned forever. This idea of Sheol is negative in contrast to the world of life and light above, but there is no idea of judgment or of reward and punishment. If one faces extreme circumstances of suffering in the realm of the living above, as did Job, it can even be seen as a welcome relief from pain–see the third chapter of Job. But basically it is a kind of "nothingness," an existence that is barely existence at all, in which a "shadow" or "shade" of the former self survives (Ps. 88:10)."
Sheol was not the same as the Hades of a living underworld. In fact the King James renders it equally "hell" and "grave," whereas modern Bibles revert from the King James and render it as "grave" in all cases. So when the NT writers referred to hades, they were not teaching the same doctrines as in the living underworld Hades of the Gentiles.
Nooj wrote:Only a minority, more like a fringe minority of Protestants believe that.
Nooj wrote:The early Israelites believed in some sort of shadowy underworld where everyone, good and the bad, went.
Nooj wrote: I think that you're assuming too much if you think that the NT writers believed as the early Israelites did.
Nooj wrote:Scholars have good reason to think that the NT writers were influenced in some way by the Hellenistic context in which they lived.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – On Friday, Heather Claussen was named the King University interim head volleyball coach. Claussen was an assistant under previous head coach Chris Toomey this past season as Toomey resigned earlier this month.
Claussen brings a wealth of volleyball knowledge to King as she was a head coach at Polk County High School in North Carolina from 2008 until coming to King in 2013. Following her playing career at Mid American Nazarene University in Kansas, where she was a team captain all four years, she was a coach for Whitehall Volleyball Club U16 team and was an assistant coach at Fruitport High School in Michigan.
"I am thankful for the opportunity to fill in as interim head coach at King," Claussen said. "This is a tough transition for the girls, the program and the new recruits and I hope I can help make it a bit easier. I'm excited to get started with spring season and work with the girls and share in spring devotions with them."
While she was the head coach at Polk County High School, Claussen was named Western Highlands Conference Coach of the Year in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012. She also earned Times-News 2011 Coach of the Year honors in 2011. She also guided the team to a state semifinal appearance in 2012. While at Fruitport High School, Claussen helped guide the team to a state runner-up finish in 2003.
Claussen will lead the team into the spring semester while the ongoing search for a replacement continues.

When it comes to nail polish, I'm a classic girl all the way. There's nothing worse than putting on an outfit and realizing your coral nails clash with your blue top. That's exactly why I like to keep a handful of neutrals on rotation, that pair beautifully with anything in my closet. Keep scrolling for my go-to hues below!
Dazzling Metallic
Deborah Lippmann Diamonds and Pearls is the perfect fancy neutral. It's my go-to when I need an elevated neutral for events and especially around the holidays when a little extra sparkle is welcome.
The Everyday Nude
If I could wear only one nail color for the rest of my life, an everyday nude would be it. OPI's Going My Way or Norway is such a pretty shade that I've found works year round, with or without a tan.
The Pink Nude
Looking for a beautiful pinky-nude? Burberry's Nude Beige is where it's at. This sweet hue can easily take you from a random Wednesday to a weekend wedding.
The Perfect White
White is my go-to for the summer months when my tan is on point and Essie's Coconut Cove is just the ticket!
Beautiful in Black
This time of year is perfect for sporting a moody black. Chanel's Celebrity is the perfect match for cozy sweater days of fall!

"There's only one way to truly fix ObamaCare, and that's by fully repealing it," says House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) in a new video released today. Boehner notes that Republicans have voted 25 times to fully repeal, defund, or dismantle portions of the president's unpopular health care law, which is "raising costs and making it harder to hire new workers" – but Senate Democrats keep blocking these actions. That's why the House will vote this week to repeal ObamaCare's rationing board.
Recent surveys show Speaker Boehner is right when he says "[t]he American people still oppose this government takeover of health care…" For example:
- "Americans oppose the law overall by 52-41 percent," according to an ABC News/Washington Post survey, and "67 percent believe the high court should either ditch the law or at least the" individual mandate.
- "[F]ewer than three in 10 (28 percent) said they think the [individual] mandate is constitutional," says the Washington Post. "More than four in 10 — 42 percent — want the high court to throw out the entire law…" Even a plurality of Democrats – 48 percent – wants the Supreme Court to throw out either the individual mandate or the law in its entirety.
- "Half of likely voters expect the Supreme Court to strike down President Obama's signature healthcare law," according to a survey by The Hill. Even a majority of independents (52 percent) believe the Supreme Court will strike down the health care law.
- "56% at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law," according to the latest Rasmussen survey, "including 46% who strongly favor" repeal.
The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin says the health care law is a "political nightmare" for the Democrats running Washington. More than that, the law is a nightmare for families, small businesses, and seniors that is raising costs, making it harder to hire new workers, and threatening to ration care and deny treatments. As Speaker Boehner said, "there can be no letup until it's fully repealed."

Eastbourne Borough veteran defender Darren Baker has signed on for his 20th season with the club.
Baker, who has made an incredible 949 appearances for the Sports, agreed the deal with manager Tommy Widdrington on Tuesday.
Widdrington said, "I am delighted that 'Bakes' has agreed to be part of what we are going to do next season.
"When Alan and I arrived we said that everyone would have their chance and Darren has grabbed his with both hands.
"His fitness and technical performances have been first rate and he has adapted to our methods like a true professional.
"We are aware of his history and long association with the club but there is absolutely no sentiment in this decision at all.
"That would not be appropriate for the player or the club. This decision is based purely on his ability, professionalism, and what he can bring to the squad."
Meanwhile long-serving players Matt Crabb and Matt Smart have been released.
Crabb joined Borough in 2000 and made more than 500 appearances.
While Matt Smart, signed from Horsham, and represented the club on more than 450 occasions.
Widdrington added, "Both Alan (Kimble) and I thank both for their contribution during our time.
"They certainly played their part and that, quite rightly, both lads will live a very long time in the hearts of all Boro' fans for their long and successful careers at Priory Lane."

By: Ms Jen Cork, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 16 Jun 2011
Last week I was lucky enough to stumble upon some conservators restoring a very special heritage item in the Museum.
Working at the Museum presents all kinds of interesting conversations and revelations, and last week was no different.
For the past few weeks a small project team have been working away restoring a very unique heritage item, one of the Museum's oldest display cases with some wonderfully precious specimens inside. More about this project can be found on the Rare and Curious blog.
On my visit to see the progress on the case I was fortunate enough to stumble upon two of the Museum conservators working inside the case on the spectacular "croc specimen". We discussed a number of things, in particular their work and role at the Museum.

Perl is a different language to different people. It is a quick scripting tool for some, and a fully-featured object-oriented language for others. It is used for everything from performing quick global replacements on text files, to crunching huge, complex sets of scientific data that take weeks to process. Perl is what you make of it. But regardless of what you use Perl for, this book helps you do it more effectively, efficiently, and elegantly.
Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules is about learning to use Perl as a programming language, and not just a scripting language. This is the book that separates the Perl dabbler from the Perl programmer.

I can try and take better pics later but wanted to put it up because it's fun and I'm glad to have finished something I actually like because I'm brand new to sewing for myself. Thanks to ichogogirl for the free pattern

There's no question that President Clinton has always been a generous man. But it wasn't until he underwent a quadruple bypass operation in 2004 that he fully understood his true mission. "Surviving my heart surgery filled me with gratitude and made me determined to do even more, to give more people the chance to live fulfilling lives," he says. After recovering, he returned to work at his philanthropic William J. Clinton Foundation with a new intensity. This past fall, he released the book "Giving" and launched mycommitment.org in an effort to inspire more people to help make a difference.
B+S: There's a prevailing belief that if you can't donate a lot of money, you can't make an impact. How do you respond to that?
Clinton: It isn't true. You can make a microcredit loan to a person in another country for as little as $25 through kiva.org. You can give small amounts to everything from Katrina relief to political campaigns, which, when combined with donations from others, really amount to more money in total than wealthy people giving to the same causes.
How do you quell concerns that the money people donate isn't going to the right place or cause?
With a little research, you can find a place whose mission you believe in, with a proven track record of accountability and results; I mention some of them in my book. Many organizations allow you to track where your donation goes and see how your contribution is making a difference.
Who has been your inspiration when it comes to helping others?
All the people I've met along the way, from Nelson Mandela and Bill and Melinda Gates to people of modest means who do so much. For example, there's a group of teenagers in Cincinnati who decided to adopt AIDS orphans in Africa. They funded a school and changed the whole structure of these children's education. The teens didn't have money, but they went out and raised enough to help.
If you had one piece of advice to give to the world as it relates to helping others, what would it be?
We live in an interdependent world with many benefits, but it is unequal, unstable, and unsustainable. Even good government and a strong economy can't solve all the problems. Citizen action is also essential, and everyone can give something that will make a difference. All you have to do is try. You'll see that it's not as hard -- and it's much more fulfilling -- than you might have thought.

Freelancer Stark trains her journalistic eye on the real-life realms of make-believe mages, goblins and elves.
Larpers—those fanatical folks who dress up in medieval costumes on the weekend in order to chase pretend beasties through hotel lobbies and wooded campgrounds—are a peculiar bunch, and the author knows them well. Like her, a great many larpers (derived from the acronym LARP, for Live Action Role-Playing) are highly accomplished people representing a diverse range of professional fields—definitely not the cheeseball-eating basement dwellers they're so often accused of being. Stark's keen observational skills and crisp writing style successfully cut through those hackneyed stereotypes to reveal the very real people who are drawn to deeply imaginary worlds. There is the Fox News–watching game master who continuously frets over the welfare of his players, as well as the father-and-son teams whose familial bonds only grow stronger with each passing year they spend slaying monsters together. Most of the profiles are rich, unexpected and compelling. The only commonality between them is the deeply held desire to leave the daily grind—often known to larpers as Mundania—far behind. Stark attempts to take the uninitiated into the larpers' world, and she mostly succeeds. Eventually, however, the discussions about differing gaming mechanics, regulations and monetary systems grow tedious. The people populating these weekend worlds of wizards and witches are infinitely more intriguing than the arcane ways in which they are governed.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the world of live action role-playing—and some stuff you didn't.

Loyal OSNews readers, I 'd like to thank you for your patience as we've made a bumpy transition to a new back-end and an even bumpier rollout of the OSNews' new design, aka OSNews 4.1. We hope you like it. We'll be making many minor interface changes over the next weeks, and we'll read the comments of this posting in case you have any bug reports or suggestions. One feature that we've eliminated from the v4 beta was themes. For now, we are focusing on perfecting one unified theme, and hope to revisit that feature in the future. I'd like to thank OSNews' intrepid code slinger Adam Scheinberg for all his hard work on this project and also thank the many readers who helped us troubleshoot the v4 backend.

SQL Server documentation describes two methods for moving database files. The first method involves detaching a database, moving the files, then re-attaching the database. The second method involves taking a database offline, running the ALTER DATABASE command to change file locations, moving the files, and bringing the database back online.
Both methods suffer from a major limitation: The database has to be offline. Another limitation is that for these methods to work, the DBA needs full access to the folders where the database files are kept. In large organizations, this often isn't the case, so the DBA doesn't have sufficient permissions to move the files. Finally, the detach/re-attach method carries with it additional issues, such as having to change the database owner and having to reset the database options to their defaults (e.g., ENABLE_BROKER).
A Different Method
To avoid all of these problems, I use a different method for moving database files. I create a new file using the ALTER DATABASE command, then move the data using the DBCC SHRINKFILE command with the EMPTYFILE option. Finally, I use another ALTER DATABASE command to remove the empty file. This migration operation is performed while the database is online.
To demonstrate this method, I created two scripts, which you can try in your own environment. To download these scripts, click the 103412.zip link near the top of the page. These scripts work on SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005.
Here's how the scripts work: The first script, which Listing 1 shows, creates a database with two file groups: PRIMARY (which contains a data file named test_primary_dat) and SECONDARY(which contains a data file named test_secondary_dat). In the SECONDARY file group, a table is created and populated with some sample data.
Listing 1: Script That Creates a Database with a Table on a Secondary File Group
The second script, which Listing 2 shows, adds another data file named test_secondary_dat_NEW to the SECONDARY file group. Note that test_secondary_dat_NEW is created in the same folder in which test_secondary_dat was created to keep this example simple by removing the need for a second disk. In a real-life scenario, you would create the additional data file on a disk where there is more free space.
Listing 2: Script That Moves the Data and Removes the Old File
Next, the second script uses the DBCC SHRINKFILE command with the EMPTYFILE option to migrate the data from the old file (test_secondary_dat) to the new one (test_secondary_dat_NEW) as an online operation. The old, empty file is then removed.
As callout A in Listing 2 shows, the DBCC SHOWFILESTATS command is used to capture the size of the data files before and after the migration to see whether it was successful. This command's output includes one record for each physical data file. Each record contains several columns, one of which is UsedExtents. The value listed under the UsedExtents column represents the amount of space used by the data in the file. Note that the UsedExtents value includes system metadata, so even an empty file won't show a 0 for this value. (For more information about DBCC SHOWFILESTATS, see "Avoiding the Red Zone".)
My approach to moving database files does have a few limitations. First, it's much slower than the other two methods. However, from the database availability point of view, it's actually faster because there's a lot less downtime. Second, this method can't be used to move system objects. This limitation can be avoided if you follow Microsoft's recommended practice of keeping all your user objects in user file groups and leaving only system objects in the primary file group, as was done in this example. Third, the DBCC SHRINKFILE operation can cause index fragmentation, so you should perform index maintenance after the data migration is complete.

David Wright plays in big league game for first time in 2 weeks; Mets beat Cardinals 7-2
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – David Wright made his first appearance in a big league game since sustaining a rib injury during the World Baseball Classic, going 0 for 3 and playing five innings for the New York Mets in a 7-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Wright was a late scratch from the United States' game against the Dominican Republic on march 14. He received a cortisone shot in his left side a day later.
Ruben Tejada hit a two-run double and scored on Collin Cowgill's two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth. Cowgill was pinch hitting for Matt Harvey, who gave up three hits in four shutout innings with two walks and four strikeouts.
Cardinals pitcher Jake Westbrook allowed four runs on five hits with four walks and two strikeouts in four innings. Center fielder Jon Jay went 2 for 2.

The Lakers didn't do much defensively against the Boston Celtics on Friday night at TD Garden, until the final 3 minutes and 12 seconds when they finally clamped down and rallied for a 107-104 victory.
A Gerald Wallace layup gave the Celtics a 104-96 advantage in what looked like another defeat for the Lakers, who had lost 12 of their last 13 games.
Instead, the Lakers got hot from three-point range with baskets from Wesley Johnson, Jodie Meeks and Kendall Marshall to quickly pull ahead by one.
The Celtics struggled to score but forced a jump ball with 18.3 seconds left. With two athletic players going for the ball in Wallace and Johnson, the initial tip went directly out of bounds. The officials originally rules it Lakers' ball but upon review of the replay called for a re-jump.
Ryan Kelly, who had a career night with 20 points, collected the tip and was intentionally fouled by the Celtics.
Kelly, who started the second half in place of Jordan Hill, calmly sank two free throws to finish the scoring for the night. Rajon Rondo, making his season debut after a knee injury last January, missed a three-point attempt as time expired.
Celtics rookie Kelly Olynyk had a hug night, scoring 25 points with seven assists and five rebounds.
Pau Gasol gave the Lakers 24 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. Kendall Marshall scored 19 points with 14 assists, but seven turnovers.
After only a single miscue in the first quarter, the Lakers finished the game with 20 turnovers -- nearly 21 until Kelly collected that late jump ball.
Meeks finished with 17 points while Johnson contributed 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Lakers shot 50% from the field and 60% from three-point range (12-20).
Boston shot 44.4% from the field, collected 13 offensive rebounds compared to the Lakers' eight, and turned the ball over only eight times. They Lakers took 28 free throws, making 21, to the Celtics' 11 attempts.
Rondo finished with eight points and four assists in just less than 20 minutes. Six Celtics scored in double figures: Wallace (14), Avery Bradley (12), Jeff Green (12), Jared Sullinger (11), Brandon Bass (11) and Olynyk.
Manny Harris, called up Thursday from the NBA Development League, scored seven points in his debut with the Lakers.
The Lakers (15-25) continue their seven-game road trip on Sunday, visiting the Toronto Raptors (20-18) for a game at 10 a.m. Pacific time.
The Celtics (14-27) travel to Orlando to face the Magic (10-30) on Sunday.
Celtics 82, Lakers 76 (end of third quarter)
Pau Gasol dominated the Celtics through three quarters with 22 points, nine rebounds and six assists, but the Lakers enter the fourth quarter down six points in Boston.
Rookie forward Kelly Olynyk leads the Celtics with 13 points off the bench. Boston also got 22 combined points from reserve forwards Gerald Wallace (12) and Brandon Bass (10) as the team is shooting 44.7% from the field.
The Lakers are shooting 48.3% but have turned the ball over 14 times.
Lakers point guard Kendall Marshall has 16 points with 10 assists while guard Jodie Meeks contributed 13 points.
After falling behind by 13 points, the Lakers rallied to score nine in a row until Celtics forward Jeff Green hit a hook shot with 3.3 seconds left.
Eight second-quarter turnovers shifted the game in favor of Boston, which was led by forward Gerald Wallace's 12 points off the bench.
Point guard Rajon Rondo, playing his first game since sustaining a knee injury last January, and Green both scored eight points for the Cletics, who shot 45.5% from the field.
Power forward Pau Gasol gave the Lakers 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists in 17 1/2 minutes. Point guard Kendall Marshall had 10 points and seven assists.
Boston turned the ball over just twice in the first half, once each quarter.
Guard Manny Harris scored four points in his debut with the Lakers, who shot 50% from the field.
Lakers 25, Celtics 23 (end of first quarter)
Rajon Rondo made his season debut, going scoreless in five minutes against the Lakers.
The Celtics scored 23 points despite making only 34.6% of their shots from the field.
Pau Gasol had eight points, six rebounds and three assists in a strong first quarter for the Lakers, who shot 50% from the field and committed only one turnover.
Jeff Green led the Celtics with six points. Boston kept close to the Lakers by pounding the offensive glass, with a 4-1 advantage.
Recently signed Manny Harris didn't score in almost six minutes of play.
The Lakers (14-25) play their second game of a seven-game road trip, visiting the Boston Celtics (14-26) at TD Garden on Friday night.
Rajon Rondo is expected to make his return after sitting out almost a year with a knee injury.
The Lakers have a long list of players out of action: Kobe Bryant (knee), Steve Nash (back), Steve Blake (elbow), Jordan Farmar (hamstring) and Xavier Henry (knee). They will also be without swingman Nick Young, who is suspended for throwing a punch in a game Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns.
Newcomer Manny Harris, freshly signed by the Lakers from the NBA Development League, could make his debut.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra: Detroit Auto Show
- New Silverado, Sierra trucks arrive at dealers this spring.
- Updated styling, improved interiors, revised engines.
- New technology and safety features.
The cover is off the latest full-size pickups from General Motors. GM officially revealed the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra at this year's Detroit Auto Show. Both feature new styling, upgraded interiors and a long list of other improvements.
On the outside, both trucks retain a shape that's similar to the outgoing models. Many of the exterior changes were practical ones, aimed at reducing wind noise or improving drag to boost fuel economy. But cosmetic changes like a larger grille, taller headlights and blocky, squared-off fenders also give the trucks a brawnier look.
The really big changes are inside the full-size trucks. While the column shifter stays put, the interior gets some much-needed style thanks to new shapes and a full-color "driver information center" located in the gauge cluster. The Silverado and Sierra also boast new soft-touch materials throughout the cabin that give the interior a higher-quality feel. As in today's models, an 8-inch touchscreen is optional. But it now features GM's infotainment technology, dubbed MyLink in the Silverado and IntelliLink in the Sierra.
Under the hood, the big GM trucks get revised versions of their current powertrains. That means a 4.3-liter V6 engine is standard, while 5.3- and 6.2-liter V8 motors are optional. But thanks to newly standard direct injection, improved cylinder head design and cylinder deactivation, GM says the updated engines should all achieve better fuel economy than the old versions. It will also help that each engine will be mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, replacing the 4-speed previously used in V6 models.
Of course, the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra also gain a long list of new features. Passengers will especially appreciate new front-hinged rear doors on extended cab models. Once reserved solely for crew cab variants, the doors will make it easier to gracefully exter and exit the vehicle. The trucks also gain luxury car levels of optional safety equipment including a forward collision alert system and lane departure warning technology. They also offer GM's new "Driver Alert Seat," which vibrates seat bolsters to alert drivers to potential hazards like a vehicle approaching too quickly. And new technology includes up to five USB ports, four 12-volt outlets and one SD card slot.
According to GM, the full-size pickup twins go on sale in the second quarter of 2013. Pricing hasn't been announced, but we don't expect it to stray too far from today's figures.
What it means to you: GM's latest full-size trucks move the large pickup game forward. And now that they've been revealed, look for great deals on outgoing models.

With the Ford F-150 and RAM 1500 also recently revised, the full-size truck segment is heating up. Which one would you buy? Tell us in the comments below.

Voters in the New Philadelphia City School District rejected a 7.2-mill emergency operating levy by a 2-1 margin in Tuesday's general election.
Voters in the New Philadelphia City School District rejected a 7.2-mill emergency operating levy by a 2-1 margin in Tuesday's general election.
According to unofficial results from the Tuscarawas County Board of Elections, 3,001 voters — or 66 percent — said no to the levy, while 1,533 — or 33.8 percent — said yes.
"We're disappointed," schools Superintendent Bob Alsept said Tuesday evening. "We'll have to regroup as a board and see how we move forward from here."
The levy would have raised $3 million annually for the school district. Without additional funding, New Philadelphia is facing a predicted $6.5 million operating deficit by 2018.
District Treasurer Steve Sherer had said the projected deficit is the result of cuts in state funding. Over the past two years, the district has lost $1.7 million in revenue from the state. Without the cuts, New Philadelphia could have gone until 2016 or 2017 before it would have needed extra money, he said.
The district now has a $5.1 million carryover balance, which Alsept described as the district's "emergency account." Without new levy dollars, the district would spend all of that carryover amount and incur deficit spending of $6.5 million in 2018, for a total change of $11.6 million.
Passage of the levy would have given the district a $6.9 million carryover into 2018, Sherer said. That amount is about enough to operate New Philadelphia Schools for three months.
Alsept said Tuesday that he had no idea what the final vote would be.
"It was hard to get a feeling one way or another," he said. "We didn't get a lot of feedback one way or another."
As for the future, the superintendent said, "We're at school tomorrow. We'll get together as a board and look to the future. Whether we will come up with a list of possible cuts or ask for more revenue, I can't say now. We'll look at all the options."

Muslim women are more likely to be subjected to Islamophobic attacks than men, especially if they are wearing the niqab or other clothing associated with their religion, a study has found.
Maybe We Are Hated, a report on the impact of Islamophobic attacks, written by Dr Chris Allen, a social policy lecturer at the University of Birmingham, will be launched in the House of Commons on Wednesday. It is intended to look beyond the statistics and, for the first time, give a voice to the female victims of Islamophobia.

'Arkham City Lockdown': The Bat Is Broken
Apr 10, 2012 5:00 AM PT
"Batman Arkham City Lockdown," a game from Warner Bros. Entertainment, is available for US$5.99 at the App Store.
Typically when I review an iOS or Mac application, I'll give it a rating somewhere between one and five stars. Star ratings tell you nothing about the concept behind the app, how well it's executed, or how practical it is. They're just shorthand for "good," "meh," and "digital sewage." Details are what the actual review is for.
But in the case of "Batman Arkham City Lockdown," I can't give the game a star rating because I've never played it.
I gave it 10 chances, and it crashed 10 times.
I'd get to the point at which I could select a memory slot in which to create a new game, then suddenly my iPad's wallpaper would be staring back at me again. Maybe if I stuck it out once more I'd succeed on the eleventh try, but if this game always takes nearly a dozen warm-up sessions to actually get in the mood, I can't imagine myself playing it more than once.
You Mean Any iPad, Right?
I suppose I could give it an indignant zero-star rating for giving me the runaround and wasting my six bucks. But judging by the reviews for the game on iTunes -- which is probably as close I'll ever come to knowing whether the game is any good -- my consistently crashy experience isn't shared by everyone who's tried "Arkham City Lockdown." In fact, it's been getting highly positive feedback. With over 9,000 ratings, it's averaging just over 4 out of 5.
Maybe this is actually a great game, when it happens to work. It's based on a series of very well-regarded Batman games for consoles: "Arkham Asylum" and "Arkham City." I've played a little of both, and I liked what I saw, which is why I wanted to give "Lockdown" a shot. But it's not to be.
Maybe it's my iPad. I downloaded "Lockdown" to a dinosaur -- a first-gen model built back in the dark ages of 2010. I've seen it sputter and whine under the strain of a new and complex app before. Maybe "Arkham City Lockdown" is way too heavy for my little old-timey tablet. Is it possible I didn't read the system requirements bit correctly?
No, it seems pretty clear: Compatible with iPhone 3GS (hey, that's even older than my iPad), iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch third- and fourth-gen and iPad. Not "iPad 2" or "third generation" -- just "iPad." iOS 4.0 or later? Definitely.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem? No again. Sorting the reviews on iTunes by "Most Critical," I see much use of the word "crash." I'm not going to read every last one, though, so I'll just rest assured knowing it's not just me.
Bottom Line
So what happened? Did Warner Bros. not test this thoroughly enough? Or did they test it enough to find out that it often fails miserably on an original iPad, but then decided to sell it for older devices anyway? That would be low.
Either way, this kind of situation isn't uncommon. When I'm about to buy an app on iTunes, I'll sometimes read some of the nastier things people have said about it in the reviews. Constant crashing is a frequent complaint, and it seems to come up in all types of apps with all kinds of levels of complexity.
True, anonymous reviewers sometimes lie, and crashes can happen due to user error. But when an app really does crash so often on a purportedly supported device that it's a complete non-starter, and especially when it costs six bucks (a semi-premium rate for an iOS game), it's time to ask Apple for a refund. I'll update this when I hear from them, or in two weeks, whichever comes first.
Update -- April 10, 2012: Within hours of my request, iTunes issued a refund.

How is his stupid rant even remotely related to free software, he didn't mentioned it at all. Don't throw everyone into the category just because someone has an arrogant attitude.
He/she might be a flamboyant Windows user, who knows.
marcp's past speaks for itself. He is known to bash anything that isn't GNU/Linux. He's a lot like Paradox Uncreated without the weird misogynistic religious rants. Like any community, this one has its fringe members.
Anyway, back on topic...I definitely feel OS X still has a lot of merit for power users. And "power user" doesn't have to mean terminal junkies and code crunchers. I have a friend who is a professional musician, who refuses to use Windows or Linux because they simply don't work well with his workflow and don't support the industry standard software he uses. I consider him a power user.
I also feel that Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate are power user OSes. I use 7 Pro on my main workstation, and not just because it was bundled with the machine. I've tried various *nix OSes for daily work and I always end up frustrated due to hardware issues, so I stick with what the machine was built for. Given the vast software support of Windows, along with the ability to install tools like PowerShell and Cygwin, it makes sense to keep the original OS on here.
The opposite is true of my netbook; it's one of the original Acer Aspire One units that was initially designed with GNU/Linux in mind, even though this particular model shipped with Windows XP installed. Under Windows, performance is horribly slow even on the OCZ Vertex 4 SSD I put in it, and there are persistent bugs with both the wireless and wired chipsets that render it unusable for its intended purpose under that OS. However, with Crunchbang Linux installed it is nearly as responsive as my workstation, wireless and wired connections are flawless, and RAM usage is a fraction of what it was under Windows. If not for the small screen and keyboard I would be able to use it as a long term production machine if necessary.
My mantra has always been "use the tool that fits the job", and all the major OSes (and many of the minor ones) have something to offer the power user. You just have to be open to the possibility that your favorite pet OS isn't necessarily the best choice for everyone (speaking generally, not specifically to you toast88).

Have you checked out the variety of Ottomans we have to offer?
May 8, 2012 2:27:17 PM
Have you checked out the variety of ottomans we have to offer? We have 8 for you to choose from including our Black Bi-Cast Leather storage ottoman! A-136-black-ottoman
Nothing ruins the aesthetic of a contemporary room faster than clutter. Therefore, it is safe to say that the key to a minimalistic modern living space is stylish storage solutions that will give everything a proper home. One of the best ways to tuck things away is by using a storage ottoman.
Not only can you store blankets, games, magazines, dog toys and remote controls in these versatile pieces of furniture, they're actually really functional. Obviously, you can use them to put your feet up as they were designed for but they also double as fun chairs when your guest list exceeds your seating capacity. If that's not enough, place a tray on top of one and use it as a decorative end table. That's a lot of uses from one simple piece of furniture.
Ottomans come in various shapes, sizes, colors and fabric selections so really, whatever you are looking for, you are sure to find it. They can be subtle and blend in with the rest of your decor or use them as your opportunity to add a splash of color in your room. What could possibly be better in an all black or white room than a lime green, hot pink or turquoise blue ottoman to add a little fun?

Speedy Needs
May 1, 2013
Skate Socks is every skateshop in every city around the world. It's the all silly questions we asked or wanted to ask but were too embarrassed. It's that thing you overheard and always told yourself you'd remember it forever. In this episode, the topic at hand is... speedy needs.

After navigating through Q3, which historically tends to be a difficult quarter, several common themes are beginning to emerge across US money centre banks.
Our thesis on the sector remains intact, with fundamentals continuing to improve despite pressure on revenues. Citigroup was the standout this quarter, but Bank of America lagged.
Several years of the so-called zero interest rate policy are taking a toll on net interest incomes for the sector and forcing the banks into aggressive rounds of cost cutting. Regulation and oversight remains the main driver of industry fundamentals, credit profiles and spread movements. Senior and T2 issuances will likely increase on Orderly Liquidation Authority and Total Loss Absorbing Capital (TLAC) needs. We believe increased loss absorption capital will be positive for our bonds.
P&Ls: Reported profitability did range from 7% of return on equity at Bank of America to 12% at Wells Fargo, which had the help of an outsized $0.9bn of equity gains.
Soft mortgage banking trends came to us as no surprise given further tightening of mortgage standards in the first half of the year, as well as lower volumes. We will be watching these mortgage lending standards closely, as mortgages represent a little less of 70% of US consumer debt and could be drag on GDP growth forcing the US Federal Reserve to keep rates lower for longer.
Core credit metrics continued to improve quarter on quarter, with continued capital build in the quarter ranging from 40bps at JPMorgan to 20bps at Citi. Balance sheets are also displaying higher loans and deposits. Total loans for the top 25 US banks were up approximately 1% from the second quarter of the year, based on the Fedu2019s H-8 data.
Asset quality trajectories: consumer non-performing loans and net charge-offs are making new (cyclical) lows and provisions for credit losses were down quarter-on-quarter. Reserves/loans ratios were down across the board, with Wells Fargo intelligently choosing not to release reserves for this quarter. Citi had a $275m credit reserve build in its institutional clients group, against a $178m reserve release in the second quarter.
Risk-weighted assets are the driver of key credit themes. There will be a significant supply of debt to reach TLAC targets. Goldman Sachs had a sub-par quarter, but is comfortably positioned for TLAC.
The outperformer this quarter was Citigroup. Although it is exposed to nearly all the hot topics, from emerging markets to energy and commodities, Citi beat expectations by controlling expenses and credit losses, as well as relying on other sources of fee income. On the trading side, Citiu2019s performance in equities was better than peers - with its 25% quarter-on-quarter increase the only rise among Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Goldman. Citi noted specific strength in derivatives. Morgan Stanley reports on 19 October.
We now await the filing of the 10-Qs where the most telling highlights will be in the footnotes. We will seek more granular details of exposures to the oil & gas sector.

East Pulteney Square, Bath, NY
Built: 1859
Houses: Supreme, County and Family Courts
Judicial District: Seventh
Although Steuben County has courthouses in 3 cities; Corning, Hornell and Bath, only those in Bath have any historical significance. Situated on the east side of the Pulteney Square village green are four buildings of architectural merit. The County Courthouse of 1859 replaced two earlier courthouses, the second being destroyed by fire; it is a very good example of late Greek Revival style. Adjacent to the courthouses are two smaller brick Victorian structures, the old County Office Building and the Surrogate's Building of 1886, both these buildings and the courthouse are virtually unchanged since built.

This spectacular movie clip shows Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin, Kajikia audax, California Sea Lions, Zalophus californianus and even a Bryde's whale, Balaenoptera edeni, feeding on a school of baitfish off the Baja Pacific coast.

When many people fall in love with a pet the only question they think to ask is "How much does he or she cost?" Cost is one factor; however, the only way to protect yourself from an emotional and uninformed decision, and to make sure that you bring home the healthiest pet possible, is to inspect the pet carefully from nose-to-tail, observe its behavior over a period of time, and ask questions. Lots of questions. Tough questions.
Whatever the source of pet you are seeking - professional breeders, friends, pet stores, or other - you need to be well aware that their pets may vary widely in the quality of their health, as well as in the nature of their personality. Selecting an unhealthy pet can lead to big health care expenses. Selecting a sullen or anxious pet can interfere with your mutual enjoyment and happiness. Here are some tips to help you conduct an objective search by asking yourself and others the right questions.
Observe current conditions
The conditions under which the pets are kept, no matter the duration, are important factors in their general health and development. When making a purchase from a reputable pet dealer, you should never have to rescue a pet from poor conditions or a bad social environment. To do so only puts your success with the pet at risk. It is important that each of the following "components of care" be well managed.
Do a nose-to-tail health check
Be sure to observe and evaluate each of these key health indicators:
