HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0

The Advertising Standards Authority looked into three complaints, one from online reputation management company KwikChex and two from hotels, about a number of claims viewed on TripAdvisor's website in July last year.
The claims included the phrases "read real reviews from real travellers", "TripAdvisor offers trusted advice from real travellers", "reviews you can trust" and "more than 50 million honest travel reviews and opinions from travellers around the world".
KwikChex complained that TripAdvisor does not verify the reviews on its site, which means it cannot verify whether the reviews are genuinely from real travellers or not.
TripAdvisor defended its claims by stating that they did not claim to be "100% fraud free", and that no review site could make this guarantee.
It said users are able to choose from "any number of individual reviews" posted on the site, and that the "high level of trust" that consumers placed on the site was demonstrated through the site's continued growth since it was founded 10 years ago.
In reaching its decision the ASA considered that consumers would interpret the claims to mean they could be certain the reviews on the site were from genuine travellers.
It stated: "We noted that reviewers were asked to agree to a declaration that their review was their genuine opinion of the hotel and that they had no personal or business affiliation with the hotel, or been offered an incentive to write a review for it.
"We also noted that reviewers were not asked to similarly confirm that they had no competitive interest in the place they were reviewing, or were posting a review on behalf of a competitor or other interested party, and we did not consider that agreeing to a declaration in itself would necessarily prevent non-genuine reviews from being posted on the site.
"Notwithstanding that, we understood that reviews could be placed on the site without any form of verification, and that whilst TripAdvisor took steps to monitor and deal with suspicious activity, it was possible that non-genuine content would appear on the site undetected."
It concluded that the claims were misleading because they implied that consumers could be assured that all review content on the TripAdvisor site was genuine, when that might not be the case.
It told TripAdvisor "not to claim or imply that all the website were from real travellers, or were honest, real or trusted".
TripAdvisor claimed it had already removed the offending phrases from the "limited" pieces of marketing copy it appeared in, though it could not confirm which parts of the site that had been.
Responding to the ASA ruling, it said: "The ASA has taken a highly technical view around some marketing copy that was used in a limited capacity.
"As with all marketing messaging, the wording used on the TripAdvisor site is constantly evolving to reflect different aspects of the business, which was the rationale behind a change back in June 2011 to put more focus on the TripAdvisor community.
"The changes requested by the ASA were used in a limited capacity and have duly been made to the UK site over the last few days."
"We have confidence that the 50 million users who come to our site every month trust the reviews they read on TripAdvisor, which is why they keep coming back to us in increasingly larger numbers to plan and have the perfect trip.
In January last year, a row between TripAdvisor and 'Dragons' Den' panellist Duncan Bannatyne blew up following damning reviews of his hotel on the site.

'Dating Naked' couple married; naked wedding airing Sept. 18 on VH1Add to Favorites | Dating Naked
The "Dating Naked" participants are certainly running the gamut of experiences on the VH1 dating show.
While one cast member is suing the show for failing to blur out a significant portion of her anatomy during her episode, we now know which two cast members tied the knot and will appear in a naked wedding special episode.
People reports that artist Ashley Fonda and yoga instructor Alika Medeiros exchanged vows in a Shaman-officiated ceremony at a botanical garden in Los Angeles on Aug. 6.
"We really deeply connected and he taught me things," Fonda tells People of her new husband and self-described "sexual healer." "We realized we both have the flower of life tattoo. I told one of the producers, 'I'm going to marry this man.'"
And was it a naked wedding? It was.
After walking down the aisle in a Nicholas Anthony gown, the two undressed for the ceremony. "As a little girl, I definitely didn't picture have a naked wedding, but this was such a liberating experience," says Fonda.
The wedding will air Thursday, Sept. 18 on VH1.

Until we just succeeded in getting a few changes passed, even motorcycles on a motocross track were required to have a sticker and racers under 18 were supposed to have passed a safety course. As it now reads, racers, if they are from out of state are exempt but in state bikes still have to get a sticker.
If you were up in W/MA and following the Berkshire Big Adventure route from last year, you were OK, because everything we used was a Chapter 90 road.
The specific named area you mention is Massachusetts. The only exempt areas are roads.
I don't mind if you don't want to get a sticker and ride anyway, I just want you guys to be aware of the potential consequences. In Tolland/Granville the local PD's are teaming up with the Enviro Cops to hand out $250 fines for riding w/o the reg. If you are on private property without permission they have been known to give out an extra $250 fine for trespass.
As far as not being able to ride a bike on Webster Lake, that seems wrong, if they are allowing snowmobiles on with the same registration.
MATPOC is correct here if you want to be legal.
I guess my comment would have fit better over in the big bike thread, as opposed to the "trail" thread .. The route we planned was all on dirt roads. I called the DEP or whatever MA calls it up in Fall River to make sure we werent breaking any laws on the roads we were going to be on, and that we would not need a sticker.
We are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.

'I Love Lucy Christmas Special': What did you think of the newly colorized episodes?Add to Favorites | I Love Lucy Christmas Special
CBS provided a trip down memory lane on Friday (Dec. 20) by airing the "I Love Lucy Christmas Special" ... in color.
That's right, after 50 years, the classic sitcom was resurrected with new life when 1956's "The Christmas Episode" and one of the all-time favorites, "Lucy's Italian Movie," were aired in full color. And while many purists were worried that the outcome would be all wrong, the end result was actually spectacular and only heightened the experience of watching it -- instead of ruining the original charm of the show.
Seeing the iconic Lucille Ball with her fiery red-orange hair in all its bright glory added to her charm. The comedy was lighter, the laughs were heartier, and it all felt more real.
Plus, seeing Lucy stomp and roll around in grapes is much more entertaining when you see her covered in purple by the episode's end. That's not something black and white will ever be able to portray.
What did you think of the newly-colorized episodes of "I Love Lucy?" Did you like seeing the new versions of the classic episodes or do you think it should have stayed in black and white?

Charred Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Kale, which I learned from here! (thanks Kenji!)
sometimes the kale is optional for me.
Happily residing in Hamilton, Ontario with my better half. She's a veggie and I am a carnivore. I think a nice afternoon is blaring some Grateful Dead and looking at photos of perogies on the internety.
Charred Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Kale, which I learned from here! (thanks Kenji!)
sometimes the kale is optional for me.
I've never heard of this sandwich and I'm eating a delicious, raw potato right now. Then again it is St. Patrick's Day.
Beautiful story Ed. Sorry for your loss.
Still, you made me hungry.
So, peace and love to you, and especially to cousin Terry!
hey friends! thanks for the tips. The main thing I could discern about my new friends' tastes was mostly that shellfish, she'll eat, but is not 100% comfortable with, so I avoided that. I won't hold this transgression against her. So, yes, I did do the Fennel and Orange salad, but just a small one to tide us over. There was a nice piece of artisinal olive bread to share to mop up the juices over wine. Mushroom risotto was baby creminis, oysters and re-hydrated porcinis and turned out great. Lots of parm and butter. Spicy rapini was a nice bite to add, and some market-made chicken sausages with sun-dried tomato were easy to just sear, throw in the oven, and enjoy. The next morning she was eating leftovers cold out of the kitchen container. Thanks again for the help! peace and love.
thanks for the tips friends!
and keep 'em coming!
yes, no soup before. salad, it is. I saw a recipe for a nice orange + fennel salad and thought it would be a nice, fresh start. Also thinking about foregoing the cheesy-risotto and maybe doing a mixed- mushroom risotto. I'm not going to fuss with the protein, just see what the farmer's market has to offer that can be simply cooked.
thanks for these tips!
I'm ok with paying for a burger a la carte. As I get a bit older (I'm 39), I find my appetite dwindling a little. I just hate that feeling of over-eating. Half the time I only eat a third of the fries anyway. Just my $0.02.
The woman from Bitchin Kitchen makes me want to smash a frying pan into my TV. And don't get me going on that dude on Sandwich King.
I can't believe I used to be annoyed by Emeril. Compared to what we have these days, he was first-rate.
a fresh multi grain baguette does it for me, especially with some honey butter spread on it.
There's a place here in Hamilton, Ontario that serves no pork, so they substitute veal pepperoni. It's not gourmet but it's good and I guarantee people don't always know the difference.
I've got two that spring to mind: once we were visiting friends in a little weird town called Richmond, just outside of Ottawa. We ordered from the local mom and pop shop and I swear they put cinnamon in their sauce. Nothing like the taste of Christmas pudding in your meat lovers pizza.
Another time we ordered after a concert in Cincinnati, to our hotel. I guess the local shop didn't actually have the red peppers we thought we were getting - I mean red bell peppers. Instead they absolutely coated the top of the pizza with red pepper flakes, I mean some awful person's idea of a joke: just a sheer film of coagulated red chili flakes. It was inedible. I ended up giving it away to the room full of stoners next door, who were pretty mind blown that a starnge man showed up with a pizza for them.
funny, I rarely order pasta when dining out. But at home, my idea of a simple, beautiful, decadent treat would be a pasta carbonara. So simple yet so satisfying, I'm happy with good, salty bacon and some freshly grated parmesan in the mix, I don't feel the need to "graduate" up to pancetta or speck or a designer cheese. There's some great homemade pastas from the joint down my street so a handful of tagliatelle bundles always does the trick. My gf is vegetarian so this is my solo treat when she's out and about.
I had tried and adored many a falafel but it was in the Lebanese tradition. But when I was 20 or thereabouts - in University I developed a crush on a beautiful girl whose parents were born-and-raised Israelis and one day while we were studying (honestly) her Mom invited us down for some matzah ball soup. I never see the girl anymore but this Scottish/Canadian dude still enjoys a good matzah ball soup from time to time!
thanks; see I didn't know this site had a column for that. cheers
Hello friends - multi-year lurker, not much of a poster here - but I turn to you, the good people of SE for some ideas, please and thank you.
So this weekend I am cooking for the first time for a new "special friend". Truth told, it's been a couple of years since I've done this (after a 13 yr relationship went south) so I want to fall back on something I can do pretty well but not all people take the time to cook: risotto.
So, thinking about a nice cheesy risotto, nice and simple. Some sauteed spicy broccoli rabe on the side and maybe a protein, of course.
Just looking for inspiration for a starter or something to open the meal with. An inspired salad? A soup? Something I'm not thinking of? Maybe a different kind of risotto and a caprese salad to start? A bucket of KFC and a sixer of PBR? Any ideas? Concerns?
Peace and love.
hi there, long time fan of Serious Eats, but this is my first post in Talk!
Can anyone recommend good websites dealing with cheese? Or some recommended stories from this site? It's just when I did a search on "cheese" it produced some pretty unweildly results.
Thanks so much for the good conversations on this site.
My favorite way to cook leeks as the main ingredient in a dish is to braise them. They retain their subtly aroma but acquire a completely tender, almost meaty texture as they slowly break down and absorb liquid. More
These little sandwiches are time consuming, but super-simple to make, with only about 30 minutes of actual work involved. The rest is all about waiting for the slow-cooked pork to fully tenderize. It's a long wait, but it's worth it. More
Inspired by the classic Chinese take-out, this vegetarian lunchbox takes the best elements of the sweet and sour staple—saucy glaze, tangy-sweet flavor—and leaves out the less make-ahead-friendly ones—gloppy leftovers, heaps of sugar. More
Note: This recipe will make far more roast pork than you need for the sandwiches. It can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.... More
Let's call it the Huevos Rancheros Maxim: the closer you are to Mexico, the more likely it is that you'll be having said huevos for breakfast. This poses a problem when you start heading back north or east again and you've already acquired a taste for them. In my case, the solution is to just start cooking them for myself. More
I was surprised to find that Michigans aren't the obscure forgotten dog I thought they were. Literally from the Canadian border (and even into Canada, although they are different) all the way down to Lake Placid, you can grab a "Michigan"—even a vegetarian version—from almost any roadside stand, diner, or gas station.

Former Brookwood and South Carolina running back Kenny Miles is in stable condition after he was shot during a robbery in South Carolina on Monday afternoon.
A Brookwood coach confirmed Miles was shot in the upper arm. His brother, a sophomore, plays for the Broncos.
Deputies told USA Today that Miles was shot just after 1 p.m. in Irmo, S.C.
According to Deputy Curtis Wilson with the Richland County Sheriff's Department, the suspect confronted Miles at a business park, and the two argued. Wilson said the suspect may have been trying to take money and a USC championship ring from Miles, the newspaper reported.
Deputies have not yet identified a possible suspect, but said they were able to speak to Miles as he was being transported to the hospital.
The University of South Carolina issued a statement on Monday night:
"Former University of South Carolina running back Kenny Miles is in stable condition tonight at a local hospital, according to Gamecock team physician Dr. Jeffrey Guy."
"On Monday afternoon, Miles sustained a soft tissue injury from a gunshot wound in his forearm, according to Guy. There were no additional injuries and is not considered life threatening. He will be kept in the hospital overnight for observation and is expected to be released on Tuesday," the statement said.
Miles graduated from Brookwood in 2008 and rushed for more than 2,400 yards during his senior season. He was named the Daily Posts' offensive player of the year in 2007. He played for the Gamecocks from 2008 to 2012.

Burroughs, AK; (2003) Is the use of albumin of value in cirrhosis? The case not so in favour, or is there an alternative? Dig Liver Dis , 35 (9) 664 - 667.
Full text not available from this repository.
A decreased effective arterial blood volume is the principal haemodynamic disturbance in cirrhosis, leading to activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone and the sympathetic nervous systems, sodium and water retention and renal impairment. Albumin is a plasma expander that could be used in clinical settings in cirrhosis in which plasma expansion would reverse some of the decreased effective arterial blood volume, or prevent its iatrogenic (i.e., paracenteses) or spontaneous worsening (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis). However, apart from the issue of transmission of prion agents, which may become an important issue in clinical risk management of the use of albumin in the future, the problem with albumin is its expense. Every effort must thus be made to definitely prove albumin is always the best colloid for all clinical settings in cirrhosis. Further randomized trials are justified.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The mayor of North Carolina's largest city has been arrested on public corruption charges.
U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said Wednesday that Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon is facing theft and bribery charges.
Tompkins says Cannon solicited and accepted bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as real estate developers who wanted to do business in Charlotte. A criminal complaint says Cannon is accused of soliciting and accepting more than $48,000 in cash, airline tickets, a hotel room and the use of a luxury apartment as bribes.
If convicted on all the charges, he faces 20 years in prison and more than $1 million in fines.
The 47-year-old Cannon was elected mayor in November, replacing Anthony Foxx. Foxx was named Transportation Secretary by President Barack Obama.

Osogbo — The Coalition of Nigerian Youth Organizations has tasked the federal government and the National Assembly to address problem of unemployment and provide job for the youths so as to curtail the security challenge face the nation.
Addressing a press conference, the coalition which is comprised of various youth organizations cutting across all ethnic groups in the country said government's recent cancellation of the recruitment into Nigeria Immigration Services was sadden and painful.
The group's press address was signed by comrade Etuk Bassey Williams, ex- President of National Association of Nigeria Student, Wole Badmus, President of Yoruba Youth Frontiers, Honourable Uche Casmier, President of Ohaeneze Ndigbo Youth, Mr Splendour Agbonkpolor, President of Niger Delta Youth Alliance and Mallam Musa Abubakar Yusuf, President of Arewa Youth Forum.
The noted that the cancellation was unwarranted considering the high rate of unemployment in the country and therefore appealed to FG and the National Assembly not to block chances of Nigerian youths who wish to work with NIS.
"We appeal to the federal government to reverse its decision on the cancellation of the recruitment into NIS and to also expedite action on the recruitment exercise so as to curb employment rate and also meet the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan", the statement said.
The groups commended the Comptroller-General of Nigerian Immigration Service, Mrs. Rose Uzoma for carrying out the recruitment and in accordance with the federal character principle.
"We believe in the competence and managerial capacity of Mrs. Rose Uzoma because her track record in office is a testimony of true leadership at work which is in line with President Jonathan's aspiration for public office holders".
"The plot to rubbish Mrs. Rose Uzoma was orchestrated by some politicians who are mischief makers..."

Original Post
In hours, the city will move in to evict Occupy Bellingham in Bellingham, Washington. The City of Bellingham's Parks and Recreation Department handed the camp an eviction notice that says they must be gone by 9 am on Wednesday, December 28.
The group's lawyer, Larry Hildes, finds the city is doing this now because they expect only a handful of people to be around, given that the country is still in the midst of the holiday season:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the City. Great!…They are doing this over the holidays, when no one is around to see. There is no reason to be doing this now, there is no reason to be doing this at all. Occupy Bellingham is not disrupting anything. This violates the First Amendment, and we will fight it legally. And we expect better from the City of Bellingham than this. And clearly, we will not be expecting respect for the First Amendment from the city of Bellingham in the future, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
According to the Bellingham Herald, Mayor Dan Pike aims to take the NIMBY approach. He says the decision to evict "was not an easy one to make" because "he agrees with some points that the protesters are trying to make, but he thinks it's time for them to try to spread their message in a different way that doesn't damage the parks or cost taxpayers money."
He supports the movement so long as they are not "occupying" the property he is tasked with presiding over as mayor of Bellingham. So, his stance on the movement is really not in my backyard or NIMBY. Take the movement somewhere else.
"They're using city property to try to gain attention to an issue that's a much bigger issue, and it's coming at the expense of the city," declared Pike. Essentially, Bellingham is tired of putting up with Occupy Bellingham's presence.
The encampment started on October 28 in Maritime Heritage Park. They were hit with a wind storm on Christmas but managed to survive. One occupier wrote in the aftermath:
We already have what other communities have lost, or were never able to get off the ground in the first place. A functioning, horizontally integrated camp that already is a place for gathering, the exchange of ideas, and fellowship among individuals from diverse ethnic, sexual orientation, and socio-economic backgrounds. The camp also serves as a place for visitors from other Occupy locations to stay while they are here.
The way the camp is described it sounds like the camp could serve as an example for other Occupy groups across the nation struggling to defuse tension among occupiers and make operations run more smoothly. It appears Bellingham occupiers have truly built a community that is a kind of democratic and utopian oasis in the middle of a city that is likely rife with problems that all cities in America are struggling to confront. It would seem the occupiers have bravely faced down some of the city's biggest issues and succeeded up to this point but now the mayor is moving to destroy something the occupiers built from scratch. And, while the movement can live on, the loss of a permanent presence will be extremely detrimental to the movement in Bellingham, even making it difficult for them to "take the message somewhere else."

Journalism Studies
A Critical Introduction
By Andrew Calcutt, Philip Hammond
Routledge – 2011 – 194 pages
Routledge – 2011 – 194 pages
As the world of politics and public affairs has gradually changed beyond recognition over the past two decades, journalism too has been transformed… yet the study of news and journalism often seems stuck with ideas and debates which have lost much of their critical purchase. Journalism is at a crossroads: it needs to reaffirm core values and rediscover key activities, almost certainly in new forms, or it risks losing its distinctive character as well as its commercial basis.
Journalism Studies is a polemical textbook that rethinks the field of journalism studies for the contemporary era.
Organised around three central themes – ownership, objectivity and the public – Journalism Studies addresses the contexts in which journalism is produced, practised and disseminated. It outlines key issues and debates, reviewing established lines of critique in relation to the state of contemporary journalism, then offering alternative ways of approaching these issues, seeking to reconceptualise them in order to suggest an agenda for change and development in both journalism studies and journalism itself.
Journalism Studies is a concise and accessible introduction to contemporary journalism studies, and will be highly useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of Journalism, Media and Communications courses.
'In a period of upheaval and change for journalism, this is a timely examination of the role and relevance of journalism studies in the academy. Scholarly and knowledgeable, while engaging in its arguments and accessibly written, Calcutt and Hammond have delivered an original and important book, which will be of value to all those who study journalism in the academy.' - Brian McNair, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
'This is a highly original examination of a range of important issues in journalism.' - Richard Lance Keeble, University of Lincoln, UK

The death of a 14-year-old Springs resident struck by an SUV while riding her bike in East Hampton Village Saturday has left a community stunned, grappling to deal with the loss of a child with the whole world at her fingertips.
Anna Mirabai Lytton, the daughter of Kate Rabinowitz and Rameshwar Das, succumbed to her injuries at Stony Brook University Medical Center after being transported to East Hampton Airport by East Hampton Ambulance and airlifted.
According to East Hampton Village Police, at approximately 1:25 p.m. on Saturday, a 2002 Ford Explorer operated by Maria Brennan, 73, of East Hampton traveling westbound on Pantigo Road at the intersection of Gay Lane collided with Anna, who was biking alongside traffic in the westbound lane and crossed in front of the vehicle.
No criminal charges were filed regarding the accident, however, according to police, Brennan was cited with a vehicle and traffic moving violation for "failure to exercise due care."
Anna's mother and 16-year-old brother, James, were with her at the hospital when she died. The family will host a private service and reception this weekend.
In the aftermath of the accident, the Springs School arranged crisis counseling, with counselors from the school district and other schools on hand to assist students, staff and the family. Grief counseling was also made available in the East Hampton School District where Anna was part of the middle school girls' lacrosse team.
Springs School Principal Eric Casale released a statement to the community on Sunday. Anna was to graduate the Springs School today, Thursday, June 20, before moving on to attend The Ross School in East Hampton.
"Anna was a student who always brought a smile to everyone's face," wrote Casale. "She was a gentle soul who cared so much for others. Whether you were her friend, her classmate or an adult, Anna always greeted you with a smile and a friendly and genuine 'hello.' Her smile was infectious to the point that when you saw Anna smile, you could not help but join her. That was the type of person Anna was and will always be remembered as."
Anna was born at home in East Hampton on April 30, 1999 on the Buddha full moon, the same lunar calendar day as her brother two years earlier, remembered Rabinowitz and Das in a remembrance crafted in honor of their daughter.
"Besides her parents her early years were supported by wonderful caretakers, including Kelsang Wangmu, a young Tibetan woman newly arrived from Nepal, and three Scottish girls on successive summers, Alice Chapman, Rebecca Watt and Lynn Fraser, then New Zealand Maori, Tamara Asher," wrote Rabinowitz and Das. "Sara Karl was also part of the family for several years after being recruited by Anna at a concert event in New York."
"Anna attended the early childhood program at then Hampton Day School, where she met two of her lifelong best friends, Julia Friedrich and Josie Battle," continues the remembrance. "At the age of five, when her aunt asked her how she saw her life, she replied, 'I'm either asleep or on an adventure'."
Anna and her family lived in India for three months in 2004 when she was just five years old. She rode on elephants and met spiritual figures before coming home to attend kindergarten at the Springs School where she remained a student through this year when she was expected to graduate.
In addition to lacrosse, Anna was a soccer player. At the age of eight she was featured on a television program with Amy Polar demonstrating yoga poses she learned from her yoga teacher, who was also her mother.
"Her adventures continued on travels with her family, especially with her grandparents, Alan and Andrea Rabinowitz to England and Scotland, New Mexico, on a dinosaur dig to Colorado, following the Lewis and Clark trail to Washington State, camping in Glacier Park, trips to the islands in the Northwest and Canada, and a Eurail trip to Italy in 2010 that included Venice and Assisi," said Rabinowtiz and Das. "In summers for Anna there were trips to Martha's Vineyard and three summers at Farm and Wilderness camp in Vermont. She was looking forward to another camp summer."
An avid reader who was also a writer and poet, Anna was also a photographer and had a passion for music. She loved to cook, loved flowers, gardening with her dad and picking vegetables at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett.
The family is establishing the Anna M. Lytton Foundation for Arts and Wellness, which will be dedicated to enriching arts and wellness for the young, including those at the Springs School. Contributions can be addressed to Anna M. Lytton Foundation, P.O. Box 625, Amagansett, NY 11930.
Rabinowitz and Das shared a poem Anna composed at the end of a camp canoe trip, which ended with:
A sweet silence settles
On our group as we row.
Dawn turns to dusk and soon
The sky is darkening
And the once calm water
Churns in the wind.
The campsite is near but rocks jut out at us
Preventing our docking.
It gets shallower and we try to walk
But the water pulls at our clothes and boats
It urges us to let go.
We reach the shore
The dry land welcomes us.
I have soaked up the water like a sponge
And now it is draining out
Along with my remaining strength.
We have reached our resting place
And completed our work.

Today I've found on BonBon a bed named LGM 02. The LGM 02 double swivel bed converts with just one simple movement, LGM becoming a desk/bookcase or at night a comfortable bed with slatted base. But this post is not about that be, because the bed is just a simple bed. The thing that I liked is how the whole stuff are arranged in that room, a beautiful little bedroom, I love it, and I wanted to share this design with my readers. What do you think about this little bedroom ?
10 comments
Hello! Great website!
This particular post caught my eye… because I do have a smaller room that I've been contemplating turning into a guest room.
Do you know any particulars on the design of this unit, as it pertains to how the bed is "put away" or "set up"? For example; would you need to take everything off the shelves, just to "set up" the bed?
I went to the BonBon website for that answer… but at this time, unsuccessful with an answer.
I can't help you to much, because I have the same information like you ( BonBon website ), but at least I can try.
Taking everything off the shelves, just to "set up" the bed would be very time consuming, but I remember a bed similar with this, and the vase, books, and other accessories where glued on the shelve. In this case I don't know how this bed is, because I can't see to much from the picture.
I like it, and I've thought that this little bedroom would be a great source of inspiration.
[…] Shown below in melamine whit with desk and shelves in melamine cherry. Link Via [Freshome] […]
Michael: though I wonder, what would be the point of gluing the books to the shelf! It's pretty sad when we've gone from reading books to using them for decoration! Maybe one could construct a special wire book holder, which would keep them there. It would look tacky though…
It would be cool if (I don't know if I could describe this in writing how I am visualizing this), if the shelve could be pulled away to the side while the bed was in use and pulled around the corner. So you would pull the shelf out, pull the bed out, make the bed, sleep in it, push the bed back up and glide the shelf back in place. Though this doesn't seem to be how this particular shelf works.
Dear Sir,
I have 14 feet width and 26 feet in length room, i want to decorate the room. Kindly assist me for the interior in very small amount.
Ummmm, i know this may sound wierd but you could have a small sheet of aluminium glued to the bottom of each shelf, and glue a "HEAVY DUTY magnet" underneat every object so that you wouldnt have to remove every item form the shelf, it would simply be in suspense on the shelf.
Looks like it hit the spot. good post.
Hey very fine blog!!

We kicked off the season premiere of That Metal Show this weekend with Russell Allen and Mike Orlando of Adrenaline Mob, along with David Draiman of Disturbed fame, and rocked out with TMS veteran Mike Portnoy on drums.
In the Season 11 premiere episode, we debated the Top 5 Bass Riffs (not players) with signature lines in songs. You know, when you heard the first few seconds of a song and immediately start banging your head because you know exactly how to play it on air
guitar bass and you immediately get excited cause it's your favorite song or cause it just rocks that hard? Yeah, that.
Off the top of our head, a few riffs come to mind as being undeniable classics. We're talkin' "N.I.B" from Black Sabbath, the iconic "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith that even your parents immediately recognize, almost ANY Iron Maiden song, Van Halen, etc … we could go on forever, but we won't.
When Jennifer flipped the board, "N.I.B." by Black Sabbath showed up in ALL THREE of the hosts' lists, so it quickly became clear who would earn the top spot. After much debate, the guys were able to narrow their picks down to the TMS Top Bass Riff and here's who they came up with:
TMS Top 5 Bass Riffs
- Megadeth "Peace Sells"
- Black Sabbath "N.I.B."
- Van Halen "Runnin' With The Devil"
- Motorhead "Ace Of Spades"
- Metallica "Anesthesia"
Watch the full episode below and leave a comment with your own Top 5 Bass Riffs! And don't miss an all-new episode of TMS with Bobby Blotzer (Ratt), Stephen Riley and Phil Lewis of LA Guns this Saturday (8/18) at 11 p.m. EST on VH1 Classic.

It's hard to escape the expression of the moment: The bunga bunga trial, bunga bunga justice, bunga bunga sentence.
This is the musical term applied to all aspects related to Italy's judicial system that this week condemned ex-premier minister Silvio Berlusconi to a seven-year jail sentence for paying for sex with an underage prostitute and abusing his office to cover it up.
Very few in Italy believe that Berlusconi will land behind bars (the jail kind), at least not for this particular crime. Hence, the use of the malleable "bunga bunga" to describe the wily politician's longstanding circumvention of Italian justice. After all, this is the man brought to trial some 30 times and very rarely convicted.
The far more likely scenario is that he could be convicted for his alleged non-bunga bunga abuses. For example, last month an appeals court upheld a sentence against him for tax fraud, leaving him only one more appeal in that case.
In the prostitution bunga bunga trial, which has lasted more than 26 months and 50 court hearings, he still has an open field of judicial alternatives. The current ruling is not final until he's exhausted two levels of appeals that will take years to resolve.
And even then, there's the fact that his country has very lenient sentencing laws for people over 70 years old. Berlusconi is 76.
The origin of the expression bunga bunga has never been clear. In an article about the 'six things you are supposed to know about Berlusconi's trial', the U.K.'s Telegraph offers two possible explanations for the phrase and its meaning: "Mr. Berlusconi says it is from a politically incorrect joke that he likes to tell about a pair of left-wing politicians who are captured by a tribe of cannibals in Africa. The second explanation is that it is a phrase he borrowed from his friend, the late Muammar Gaddafi, and refers to a harem of young women."
For what it's worth, Wikipedia attributes it possibly to "a sort of underwater orgy where nude young women allegedly encircled the nude host and/or his friends in his swimming pool", "an African-style ritual" performed for male spectators by "20 naked young women," or erotic entertainment hosted by a rich host involving pole dancing and competitive striptease by skimpy-costumed "women in nurses' outfits and police uniforms."
Apparently, first references date back to 1852 as the name given by local natives to a location in Australia.
In any event, what matters in Italy is that it's become a household term for various activities related to sex — with a humorously critical undertone.
Thanks to Berlusconi, bunga bunga is now a convenient shorthand for the murky nexus of sex and power that the prosecutors in the case argued was at the heart of Berlusconi's premiership and "in which young women were procured," they said, "for the personal sexual satisfaction of the billionaire septuagenarian," according to the Guardian.
Meanwhile, the former premier's supporters held a protest against Rome's "puritanical justice."This is a shameful sentence that hurts Italian justice and lowers it to the level of that in Afghanistan or Iran," wrote the pro-Berlusconi daily Il Foglio.
Also, members of his party have vowed to resign en masse from the current coalition government they support if their leader's ban from government due to the tax fraud case is upheld, a decision expected by the end of the year. That case carries a potential four-year jail sentence in addition to the five-year ban from public office.
Not unexpectedly, the ex-premier has consistently denied any and all wrongdoing: "Yet again I intend to resist against this persecution because I am absolutely innocent and I don't want in any way to abandon my battle to make Italy a country that is truly free and just."

The Kardashians
Kris Jenner Reportedly Wants Khloe Kardashian to Film Fertility Treatments
Has Kris Jenner gone too far? According to Hollywood Life, Kris has been pulling out all the stops in order to get Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom to film their struggles with pregnancy. The duo have been reluctant to discuss their baby news (or lack thereof), but Mama Jenner is reportedly eager for them to open up — preferably in front of a camera.
"Khloe's number one priority right now is getting pregnant and Lamar is being extremely supportive," a source told Hollywood Life. "Initially Khloe's fertility treatments were put on hold because Lamar would not allow cameras to document this part of their lives."
While filming the intimate process would likely boost ratings for E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the couple was reportedly less than enthusiastic about the prospect of cameras in the doc's office.
"She doesn't understand how delicate and private this matter is," the insider said of Kris. "But Khloe is feeling more confident and isn't giving in to her mom's demands, plus she has the support of Lamar!"
The Kardashians are certainly used to living all aspects of their life on film, but this could prove to be untouchable territory.

text: The Frankenstein's Monster wiki last edited by FLStyle on 02/25/15 06:29AM View full history OriginIn Mary Shelley's modern horror classic Frankenstein, the eponymous doctor sets about creating a living creature, in a manner suggesting the myth of the golem. This creature, called simply the monster, then had to deal with this sudden consciousness it was given, as well as a society that wasn't ready to understand or accept it. As to Shelley's own inspiration for the story, she was said to have come up with the story during a late-night story competition among peers.Popular Perceptions and MisconceptionsIt's assumed that the monster is assembled from the body parts of the dead, perhaps influenced by the second film based on the story, starring Boris Karloff as the monster. However, the original story spends very little time talking about the material components that go into monster's actual creation, as Doctor Frankenstein himself is not keen on revealing to the person to whom he is writing the secrets of "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter," which is described, literally or metaphorically, as clay. This can be taken as a direct biblical reference, as if Frankenstein had stumbled upon the same processes that the biblical Adam had been born of in its creation story, as well as suggesting the afore mentioned golem, also created by animating clay with life. As to whether or not that material Doctor Frankenstein used was actually once alive is left up to the reader, though his famous use of electricity, as seen in the movie and most depictions afterward, is in the original text.Another perception that seems influenced by the famous film version is that the monster is slow, slurred of speech, and seemingly simple-minded, though still capable of compassion. The creature of the book cultivated its mind quickly, becoming erudite in a strangely short period of time, unlike the lumbering filmic version that is so commonly repeated in cultural references.The monster itself is often erroneously named Frankenstein, possibly because the fame of the monster outweighed the fame of its creator. One only need imagine a movie poster with the face of the monster with the word "FRANKENSTEIN" in bold, jagged letters over the creature's face to realize why people might make this mistake.Game DepictionsAs to what role Frankenstein's monster plays in games, it is of course up to the creators as to how to employ the creature, but often the monster is reduced to bit parts, playing a recognizable creature that players are tasked with defeating, such as in the Castlevania games which feature such monsters. The stereotype is one of bolts in the neck (used as electrical leads, presumably), a prominent forehead with knife-like bangs, pale skin and stitches (suggesting that it's a corpse pieced together), great strength, and a lumbering walk, all of which are taken from the 1931 film. Often Frankenstein's monster doesn't play a central or prominent role, instead being part of a menagerie of creatures out of horror films, but there are a few exceptions. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, based upon the film starring Robert De Niro as the monster, was a game for 16-bit consoles which had players take on the role of the monster itself. Frankenstein's Monster, by Data Age, pits you against the creature, which you must prevent from being animated. There are others, but none are considered classics, and many are noted for poor gameplay. While the monster has been animated multiple times in other media, it seems video games have yet to bring life to the monster in any lasting way.Further ReadingMary Shelley's "Frankenstein" or "The Modern Prometheus" is available for free, because its copyright is long expired, at sites such as Project Gutenberg. Copyright laws vary from country to country though, so be sure to check your own country's laws before trying.

One of the best ways to build a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is to take a page from a winning playbook. Each year, the National Center for Safe Routes to School has the privilege of recognizing one Safe Routes to School program in the country for outstanding achievement in promoting safe walking and bicycling to school. In 2011 – a first in the history of the James L. Oberstar Safe Routes to School Award – two schools received this national honor: Heatherwood Elementary School in Boulder, Colo., and Omro Middle School in Omro, Wis.
This 60-minute webinar on Tuesday, May 22, at 1 p.m. ET offers listeners the opportunity to learn from these award-winning programs. First, Melisa Kramer-Badtke, regional SRTS Coordinator, will explain how a program found success in the small, rural city of Omro, where only about 42 percent of middle school students live within two miles of the school and many of these students must cross one or more major barriers, including two highways and a river.
Next, Amy Thompson, SRTS coordinator for Heatherwood Elementary, will provide insight into how in just three years the School's SRTS efforts and activities resulted in an increase from 12 percent to more than 43 percent of the school's students regularly walking and bicycling to school. Amy will also discuss how their program was able to include the school's autistic students in the district-wide Bike to School Day. This effort was funded by $1,000 mini-grant from the National Center.

Location: Los Angeles
Price: $2.1 million
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 4
Square Footage: 2,700
Traditional on the outside with a modern inside, this unexpected amalgam of picture-book quaintness and almost space-age interiors has a further unsettling twist. The outside of the home is instantly recognizable to horror fans as Nancy's house from the original "Nightmare on Elm Street." The inside looks nothing like the one shown in the movie (and it was not used for filming), with a circular doorway between rooms, orange kitchen counter tops and a bubble chair suspended from the ceiling. There's also American walnut wide-plank flooring throughout and a one-bedroom guest house.

West Virginia to Face Elon
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – When Elon comes to visit the 10th ranked Mountaineers on Thursday night at the Coliseum, they will be facing a West Virginia team that is currently 55-3 all-time at home in non-conference play, and 104-25 all-time at the WVU Coliseum.
The Phoenix will also be facing a Mountaineer team that at 6-0, is having its best start since 2004-05, when they went 9-0 to open the season. Factor in an undefeated record last week at the Paradise Jam Tournament in the U.S. Virgin Islands that culminated in a victory over No. 17 Iowa State during the Island Division Championship game, and Elon will be facing a formidable opponent.
"I was really satisfied with all three games last week, but especially during that last game," said coach Mike Carey. "Our enthusiasm against Iowa State was unbelievable. Our conditioning was there, we shot better and we executed better, so I was very pleased."
The expected Mountaineer starters for Thursday night are true freshman Brooke Hampton and senior Liz Repella at guard, Asya Bussie at center, and Korinne Campbell and Madina Ali at forward. All five have had outstanding starts to the season, especially Hampton, who has been filling in for an injured Sarah Miles. Last week against Iowa State, Hampton had seven assists and zero turnovers to help lead West Virginia to the championship title.
"I thought Brooke Hampton came out in the third game and played extremely well. When Brooke has the ball, everyone is trying to get open because she's going to pass it. She also gives us capabilities to hit some three-pointers," commented Carey.
Last week, Repella was named MVP of the Paradise Jam Tournament and currently leads the team in scoring, while Asya Bussie continues the trend of outstanding defense, co-leading the team in blocked shots with 10. Korinne Campbell comes into the game as the team's second-leading rebounder, and Madina Ali, named to the all-star team in last week's tournament, will be looking for her third double-double of the season against the Phoenix.
Sarah Miles will be out, missing her second game of the season due to a knee injury suffered against Virginia in the second game of the Paradise Jam Tournament. The injury occurred when she reached from behind to try and knock the ball away from an opponent, causing her ankle to turn and her knee to buckle.
"I was really worried at first," said Carey. "We had a surgeon come look at her in the Virgin Islands, and they thought it was more serious than it was. The MRI showed that nothing was torn and that was the best news we could get. She doesn't have a lot of swelling; right now it's just fluid in the joint. So the biggest thing is to get the fluid out and get the range of motion back."
With a 4-2 overall record and an 0-1 mark in the SoCon, Elon will be coming into the game looking for its first ever win against a BIG EAST opponent. The last time the Phoenix faced a BIG EAST team was on Nov. 28, 2008 when they lost to Pitt, 84-49. Before that, Elon's only other game against a BIG EAST team took place during the 2003 Holiday Inn Mountain View Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., where they lost to Villanova, 66-45.
The Phoenix are led by sophomore guard Ali Ford, who is currently averaging 18.7 points per game, while also leading the team in assists (19) and holding the second-most steals on the team (15).
Sophomore forward Kelsey Evans will also prove a challenge, having registered her second straight double-double against Virginia Intermont on Nov. 23. She currently averages 13.7 points per game, and 11.2 rebounds per game. Last year, she recorded 55 blocks, good enough for ninth all time in Elon women's basketball history. Junior guard Tiara Gause rounds out the top three scorers as she averages 11.0 points per game.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday night, and the game will be streamed live on MSNsportsNET.com.

Information about completing risk assessments
Milestones is a large modern building which houses the museum as well as public service areas and staff offices. The museum displays a range of social history, transport and technology collections from Hampshire's Victorian and 1930s past. Visitors can walk through recreated streets from the past and visit a variety of buildings which house either period interiors or a modern gallery space.
All materials used to create our scenes are real e.g. bricks and stone. The Victorian part of the museum has a predominantly cobbled floor with tramlines. The 1930s area is flat though some areas of the flooring are textured. Both areas have pavements with drop kerbs.
On your visit you will receive a briefing on arrival to remind you and your group of key safety information. We have first aiders and a first aid room on site. Please report any incidents, however minor, to a member of staff. Mobile phones may not work well in all areas of the building but there is access to landlines in case of emergency.
Milestones' staff should be easily identifiable – most carry radios and wear uniform with the Hampshire County Council logo on.
Risk assessment guidance
All Milestones' activities and resources are risk assessed in accordance with Hampshire Cultural Trust policy. Milestones is a Hampshire Cultural Trust facility and therefore operates within the County's rigorous Health and Safety policy. Schools are also required to do their own risk assessments which take into account any specific needs that the group they are bringing may have.
Please see our basic guidance to help you complete your risk assessment for your visit to Milestones on the other tabs on this page. We suggest you take the opportunity to meet our Education team for a pre-visit meeting or make your own familiarisation visit in order to complete your risk assessment.

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
For release: Immediate August 29, 2011
Contact: Julie Henry, 919-707-5053
RALEIGH – As residents begin cleaning from Hurricane Irene, State Health Director Dr. Jeff Engel advises North Carolinians to take extra precautions to protect their health and safety. Injuries from falls are common after storms as residents climb ladders to repair roof or tree damage.
"Falls are among the leading causes of unintentional injury and death in our state," Engel said. "If you aren't accustomed to working on a roof, it is best to get help. If you are doing the work yourself, have someone nearby to help steady the ladder and call for help if you fall."
Clean up workers may be susceptible to heat-related health problems from overexertion in high temperatures. Take frequent breaks to cool down and drink bottled water or other fluids to prevent overheating. Opening windows or using fans can help reduce heat stress. Take care to avoid muscle strain when moving heavy items and debris. Flood-soaked items may weight much more than you anticipate.
If your home has been flooded, be careful when re-entering as flood waters may leave a coating of mud that makes floors and walkways slippery. If ceilings were damaged, wear a hard hat and safety glasses and avoid walking under sagging ceilings or bowed walls.
"People whose homes were flooded during the hurricane should assume everything touched by flood water is contaminated and will have to be disinfected," Engel said. "Most clean up can be done with household cleaning products. The most important rule of clean up work is to wash your hands thoroughly and often, wear rubber gloves and, if possible, waterproof boots."
If your home has been flooded:
Mosquitoes increase in numbers after significant rain or flooding. In addition to being a nuisance, they also can carry a variety of dangerous diseases. Use insect repellant or wear long-sleeved clothing to protect yourself from mosquitoes and empty standing water out of birdbaths, tires, flowerpots and other containers to reduce mosquito breeding. Insect repellent will not work on stinging insects, like bees, wasps and hornets. These insects may have had their nests disturbed by storm damage and can become very aggressive trying to defend nest sites. Before beginning cleanup, survey the site to see if any stinging insects are hovering in the area and use commercial pesticide labeled for wasp and hornet use to get rid of them before entering.
Flood waters will move snakes and other wild animals out of their usual habitats and they may seek refuge in storm debris. Lift debris with sticks to check for hazards or wild animals before moving it. Domestic animals may become disoriented and agitated, posing a threat to people. If domestic animals need to be removed from an area, contact the county animal control office for help.
Avoid touching dead animals. Use gloves or a shovel to move dead animals, and then wash hands thoroughly. Contact your local health department about proper disposal of dead animals.
For more information on cleaning up after a flood, contact your local Emergency Management Office, local health department or Red Cross chapter. You can also get information from the following internet sites: www.dhhs.gov/hurricanes; www.fema.gov; and www.redcross.org.

It is expected that students will complete all homework and attend all classes. All work that is handed in should be of the highest quality. Late homework will receive half credit. Any absences should be excused. It is the responsibility of the student to make up all tests, quizzes, labs and homework within one or two days except in cases of prolonged illness. Excessive absences and incomplete homework will result in poor understanding of material, and consequently, lower grades.
Students are expected to act in a mature and courteous manner. During labs, students are expected to act responsibly so as to ensure the safety of everyone in the classroom. Students are not to interfere with the learning of others.

City of Folsom Alarm Ordinance
The City of Folsom alarm ordinance requires that individual homeowners and businesses obtain an alarm permit before operating an alarm. To apply for or renew an alarm permit go to https://www.crywolfservices.com/folsomca Alarm permits shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance. Effective July 1, 2013, the alarm permit fee is $40.00. The annual alarm permit renewal fee is free for residents, $15.00 for businesses.
A false alarm fee of $85.00 will be charged from either the second (2nd) or the third (3rd) false alarm at the same location within any calendar year from January through December, depending on whether the location has a current alarm permit with accurate information on file with the City of Folsom. There will be a false alarm charge of $100.00 for the fourth (4th), $150.00 for fifth (5th +) false alarm activations.
The ordinance is designed to reduce false alarms.
Responsible Requirements
The alarm user will provide the department with a list of two persons capable of responding and securing your premise. These persons should have a key and alarm access information.
Cost to You the Taxpayer
A typical response to an alarm involves two police officers and takes about 20-30 minutes each. With over 3,500 false alarms yearly, the cost to the Police Department, and you the taxpayer, is about $95,000, or over 3,500 hours, which is time an officer could better use to patrol neighborhoods or to resolve community crime problems. This time and money could be better spent making Folsom a safer and more enjoyable community.
Violations of any of the provisions of this ordinance will result in a citation to the owner/operator of the premises. Citations may range from $20-$500.
The Police Department may suspend an alarm permit during which time the alarm system shall not be used. The Police Department is authorized to disable an alarm system that does not conform to alarm ordinance.
