The Pioneer Motel
The Pioneer Motel has been a part of Palmer, Alaska since 1953. We are a small 18 room motel with three cabins, and the only remodeled motel in Palmer. This year again, we earned the honor of being the highest rated motel, out of all the other hotels and motels in the area. We offer a casual, friendly atmosphere with comfortable and modern clean rooms. This vintage "mom and pop" motel is centrally located right off the Glenn Highway in the "Heart of Palmer." We are conveniently located within walking or biking distance of fine eateries, one of a kind shopping, art and entertainment, and even a local brewery.
We are known as an economical, clean and comfortable destination for sportsman, seniors, and local and out of area travelers. Come stay for a while and enjoy Palmer's easygoing, relaxing quality of living. We are open year round. We invite you to stay with us and leave the pressures of daily living behind. Relax and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Valley.
Just minutes away from Wasilla, a 45 minute drive from Anchorage, we are the perfect jumping off point for your Alaskan adventures. We offer easy access to the Iditarod Sled Dog Race headquarters, Hiking and Mountaineering in Hatcher Pass, Independence Mine State Park, and Government Peak Recreational Area for skiing, biking and hiking, Ice Climbing and Exploring the Matanuska Glacier, Salmon Fishing, Glacier Hiking, the Musk Ox Farm, the Reindeer Farm, and of course we are Home to the Alaska State Fair.
Buses are welcome and parking is always free.
At The Pioneer Motel, the customer always comes first!
We arrived after 11pm from a full day of travel with two small children. The owner greeted us and showed us to our room, which was newly remodeled as she pointed out things to do and places to see. The next day , a small child size table was in our room for our children to use. Very thoughtful and accommodating.The Hamelton Family
The manager and staff went above and beyond for us when we were evacuated from our home in Willow, due to the Sockeye Fire. Thank you so much!Angie
Driving up, one thinks, oh my, what have we booked. Then we are greeted by a very friendly "customer service Pup" and the manager. Her son showed us to our room and told about the mountains, where to eat, and the things to do in the area. We were pleasantly surprised upon entering the room how big it was. The bed had four pillows and a beautiful bedspread on it. There was a hand painted mural on the wall of the mountains and a small kitchen area. . The next morning we were off before daylight but so far this has been the best we have stayed at on our Alaska trip. Next time we plan on spending several days there to enjoy all the little town has to offer.Anisa
This was a pleasant surprise. Recently updated rooms are larger than expected from outside view and very well appointed. The manager is fantastic and made sure that everything was in excellent working order and well maintained. Reasonably priced. Do not be put off by the look from the outside, you won't be disappointed. We will definitely go back!Glenn

I've been awake since 3:50 a.m., and all I have to show for the past six hours is: a) a few sentences written on an essay I may or may not submit for possible publication (it's due today); b) several perusals of Facebook; c) reading The Boy's latest evaluation from school in preparation for a new IEP; and d) this post.
Yay, me.
Planning to do a few de-cluttering/re-organizing/cleaning projects around the house today. It's looking like we're in for a rainy day, perhaps even with some thunderstorms, making it the perfect day for such chores. My approach to housework is that I ignore things up to a certain point and then deal with them when I can't handle the mess any longer.
On the agenda today is the pantry, which could use a bit of re-organization because things have just been thrown in there half-assed, I'm buying duplicates of stuff, I'm spending too much time looking for basic ingredients … the whole thing is out of control. And the family room/den/office area is way overdue for some attention, bigtime.
Speaking of food, my current audio book is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, by Barbara Kingsolver. My first reaction was that this didn't seem any different from other books and blogs promoting eating locally-grown, in-season food – and then I remembered that Animal, Vegetable, Miracle was published in 2007, before concepts like farm-to-table and eating what's currently available were household words. Seven years later, it's still relevant and worth reading because there are still people who don't understand this.
Case in point: yesterday at ALDI, I was in the checkout line and the ever-so-pleasant cashier asked the customer ahead of me if she found everything she needed.
"Yes, but you don't have any strawberries," she stated.
The ALDI cashier replied, "Right. They're all done for the summer."
The customer looked dumbfounded at this. First of all, if you want strawberries at the end of September, you shouldn't be shopping at ALDI. Go a few miles up the road to the chain supermarket and spend $6 for eight ounces of strawberries that were trucked in from 3,000 miles away.
(I'll give the customer the benefit of the doubt: maybe she was making a special dessert or something. But, still. If that's the case, that's not the week to go to ALDI.)
What's interesting is reading this not far removed from finishing Flight Behavior. I knew much of that novel was borne from Kingsolver's own experience on her family's farm, but Animal, Vegetable, Miracle really shows the genesis of that story.
I'm still making progress with The Sparrow and am almost to the halfway point. I'm participating in The Sparrow Readalong and summed up most of my thoughts thus far in the mid-point post. It's still keeping my interest, but at page 160 I'm getting a bit antsy to find out what the hell happens. I have a sense of what's to come, but enough foreshadowing and whatnot already: let's get on with it.
Same with this Sunday. On with it already.

Amidst the turmoil of the GTA Online Freemode Events announcement, some players have found the time to mess around with the Rockstar Editor a bit. One particular fan, llachlann, found quite a bit of time to make yet another magnificent recreation of the opening sequence of a popular TV show. He used the unique game play capture and video editing suite developed specifically for GTA V which, incidentally, is getting updated with patch 1.29, as well as seeing its current-gen console debut.
Considering the amount of investigation it would take to sift through all the baseless rumors about GTA DLC and possible sequels, it is fitting that the recreation has a detective theme. Or, should we say, a genuine detective theme?
No? Nobody?
Oh, well.
For those of you who did not die of a bad-joke-induced-stroke, you've probably guessed that this will be a recreation of the popular crime thriller show True Detective. As is usually the case with Rockstar Editor recreations that are actually newsworthy, this piece of work has all the details in the right place, and is about as authentic as you can get. Obviously, you'll see that it makes heavy use of after-effects and non-Rockstar Editor editing, but in the case of an opening sequence as heavily stylized as True Detective, there really is no other way of doing it. And anyway, who are we to complain, it looks amazing!
Soon, Playstation 4 and Xbox One players will be also able to create similar videos to a slightly limited extent. This is courtesy of GTA Online update 1.29, which contains the Freemode Events DLC, and is bringing the Rockstar Editor to the current-gen consoles for the first time. The update will go live some time today, so couch-gamers with a flair for cinematography need not wait much longer to get shooting (not in the regular GTA sense).
Do we have any True Detective fans among us?

Housecall for Health: Manly Crying
The sound of a baby crying has a surprising effect on men.
FOX's Colleen Cappon tells us what it is in today's "Housecall for Health":
Audio clip:
Comforting a crying baby might not be high on a list of "manly" activities, but a new study finds that hearing an infant's cry can actually boost testosterone in men.
Researchers at the University of Michigan use lifelike, interactive baby dolls to test changes in hormones, and saw a spike. However, they noted that the surge in testosterone doesn't necessarily mean an increase in stereotypically masculine behaviors.

Black Vinyl Beer Tubing from Rapids Wholesale
This is a black vinyl beer hose with 1/4" inside diameter that is excellent for use with a beer-dispensing system that exceeds a distance of more than 13 feet from tap to keg. This is because, for longer lines, you will need to use a beer line with larger-diameter tubing, which means less line resistance. Using a larger diameter of tubing for longer distances (like using a 1/4" ID black vinyl beer line as opposed to a 5/16" ID, for instance), is actually better at delivering your beer from the keg to the tap than increasing keg pressure, which would lead to improper carbonation of beer and subsequent poor carbonation at the tap, thereby affecting the taste of your beer.
Also, Rapids Wholesale's black vinyl beer tubing remains durable and flexible even after many years of heavy and constant usage, when used at recommended temperatures and pressures. This black vinyl beer line meets or even exceeds high standards and demands of various beer-dispensing systems. This black vinyl beer hose will not swell, rot, or dry out and is unaffected by the usual cleaning compounds. This black vinyl beer tubing is also guaranteed non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless and will not affect the taste of your beer.
Black Vinyl Beer Hose Details and Features
- Black vinyl beer hose that resists breakdown by cleaning solutions
- A black vinyl beer line with 1/4" ID, ½" outer diameter. Sold by the foot.
- Guaranteed non-toxic black vinyl beer tubing
- NSF-certified
- FDA-approved

The Ghost of Robert Burns Returns To The Schlafly Tap Room
Schlafly Beer first opened our doors twenty years ago last month, but this week marks the 21st time we've celebrated Burns's Night at the Schlafly Tap Room. Wrap your head around that one (trust me, the math works…but our Events Coordinator, Stewart had to count it out for me on his fingers before I would believe him.)
For those of you who wonder what Robert Burns is most famous for, think about that song everyone sings on New Year's Eve. That's correct! Burns' Night is our annual, extraordinary celebration of the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796). Celebrated on, or about, the Bard's birthday, January 25th, the event is ideal for brightening up the cold, wet and dark St. Louis winter evenings.
While the event begins in earnest at 5pm, the festivities truly kick off when a procession of pipers and drummers escort a ceremonial haggis and pint of Scotch Ale throughout the Schlafly Tap Room. Immediately following the piper parade, our kilted co-founder, Tom Schlafly channels the spirit of Robert Burns' as he recites an original poem from atop the Tap Room bar. Naturally, we cook up some extraordinarily delicious Scottish food, and round out the festivities with the best Celtic musicians in St. Louis.
Always a fun, loose evening, the event encompasses the whole of life's emotions in one evening. There is the serious thought provoking speech (of course laced with humor) along with song, nostalgia, merriment, satire, wit, happiness and sadness. Truly an extraordinary evening.
Free and open to the public.
• 5pm - Haggis, cock-a-leekie soup, neeps & tatties, shephard's pie, scotch eggs, and sticky toffee pudding will all be available for sale upstairs in the Club Room (cash only).
• 6pm - The PARADE OF PIPERS, Haggis, and Scotch Ale begins and Tom Schlafly addresses the masses with his annual poem conjuring the spirit of Robert Burns from all three Tap Room bars.
• 7pm - DUDDY BREEKS play live in the Club Room.

TONY EASTLEY: Environmentalists are unhappy, irrigators are downright angry and the people who put the Murray-Darling Basin Plan together, think they've got it basically right.
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority's draft plan released overnight has slashed its estimates on how much water is needed to save the stressed river system.
Environment reporter, Conor Duffy is at Goolwa at the mouth of the Murray River.
Conor, good morning, the mouth of the Murray is of course at the end of the system and often considered to cop all the detrimental effects of irrigation and water loss. What does it look like this morning?
CONOR DUFFY: Well, good morning Tony and driving out here I have to say this country is looking fantastic at the moment. Areas that were just a dustbowl here a few years ago during the drought are in full swing of production. There is cattle, there is sheep, there is some very green patches where land is being irrigated for wineries but there are still some big issues here at the mouth of the Murray.
At the moment I can see about 300 metres of water flowing out on the way out to the sea but there is still about 2 million tonnes of salt that needs to be accumulated from a number of very poor years and so you know, environmentalists are saying that despite the recent record floods we've had, that this plan is more important than ever.
TONY EASTLEY: And that's a matter of washing the salt out to sea and getting it out of the river system. Conor, the report was issued last night. Give us a brief outline of what's in it.
CONOR DUFFY: Well, Tony the headline figure for the plan is that a cut of 2,750 gigalitres is needed to ensure the health of the system so the alleged plain English version of the plan which is still quite a complicated document says that the objective of the plan is to achieve a healthy working basin with strong communities and a strong environment and critics on both sides are saying that it is not going to achieve either of those outcomes.
Environmentalists had wanted a cut of at least 4,000 gigalitres and as much as 7,000 gigalitres. Irrigators of course wanted to give up as little water as possible and they're warning towns in the south of the basin where most of the cuts are going to be made could go the way of Bourke which suffered huge water cutbacks a few years ago and lost about a quarter of its population.
Now this report that's come out today is just a draft and there is now going to be a 20 week consultation period before it goes to Parliament so you can bet your last dollar that there is going to be a huge lobbying effort from both sides in this debate to implement the outcome and to give us a bit of a snapshot of some of those issues those groups will be bringing to Canberra.
Alexandra Kirk prepared this report.
VOX POP: They are just ridiculing us in every way they possibly can.
VOX POP 2: Back off and give us a break, you know. If it was France or somewhere like that, they'd block every highway and all that and if I could get enough trucks and tractors together, I'd do the same too and…
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Just over a year ago, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority's guide to the proposed Basin Plan sparked angry protests, prompting the authority to go back to the drawing board.
It's reworked the figures, proposing a cut of just under 3,000 gigalitres a year, but taking into account recent water buybacks for the environment and more efficient irrigation, it's been whittled down to just under 1500 gigalitres, with the possibility of more wriggle room.
It suggests phasing in the cuts over seven years to minimise the economic and social impacts. The authority regards the potential costs "manageable" and likely to be borne by isolated, small populations highly dependent on irrigation. But it says come 2019, advances in technology and science could mean even smaller cuts.
STEWART ELLIS: If those amounts of water are to go out of irrigated food production it will just rip the heart out of many of our communities.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Stewart Ellis chairs the National Irrigators Council and the nation's largest private irrigation company supplying water to more than 2000 shareholder farms in southern New South Wales.
STEWART ELLIS: To me it appears that the draft we are due to see out today is basically just a rebadged version of the guide which was an absolute disaster. I think people are really feeling frustrated. Here we are four years down the track basically from the start of this water reform and there is still no environmental watering plan.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: Environmentalists like Don Henry from the Australian Conservation Foundation say the plan's too weak and won't be enough to save the river system.
DON HENRY: This draft plan does not deliver the goods. The best science that is out there is saying this is not enough but we say okay minister, that's our view. Why don't you pull in the best scientists, get an umpire in to have a look at this draft plan because at the end of the day, there is $10 billion of public investment to get a river back to health. We've got to make sure it will do that job and look after communities at the same time.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: The Opposition's urging the Government to get it right this time round. Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham hails from South Australia, at the tail end of the Murray-Darling.
SIMON BIRMINGHAM: I fear many communities will be disappointed with this plan. There are a lot of questions unanswered there and it is disappointing that what we get today is simply a plan stating a lot of numbers. The Government has had four years to work out an equal plan for how to implement this and they've failed to do so.
ALEXANDRA KIRK: But key rural independent Tony Windsor's urging people to keep positive.
TONY WINDSOR: I think it is an improvement. I think a lot of work has been done since the last one. The number that we could end up with is probably around 500 gigalitres that needs to go back into the system and if you spread that over an eight year period, this isn't a big issue in terms of being able to achieve an outcome. I think we've got to be a little bit sensible in this.
TONY EASTLEY: Federal independent MP, Tony Windsor.

Conor Duffy reported this story on Monday, November 28, 2011 08:00:00
TONY EASTLEY: Environmentalists are unhappy, irrigators are downright angry and the people who put the Murray-Darling Basin Plan together, think they've got it basically right.

Minivan Mamma, or "I Drive a 'Loser Cruiser'"
I've given in to the minvan, ergo, minivans are now cool. I must chant this mantra repeatedly to convince myself of this fact.
Here's a picture of the beast: a 2006 Honda Odyssey. She is a a trusted soul, in spite of herself.
The "Soccer Mom" title that has been the standard term to politely yet pejoratively label a certain ilk of mom has more recently been replaced by terminology that not-so-subtly brands those of us who have chosen this form of transportation as uncool, or worse, losers.
We have apparently abandoned all hope of having any type of "edge," as edginess and "seating for eight" do not mix. At all.
I laughed when I learned that the term "Loser Cruiser" was a synonym for a minivan. This must mean, I thought to myself, that I am a loser. So is my husband and our kids. Great. By extension, that must also mean that anyone who "cruises" in the Loser Cruiser is also a loser. I guess my parents, siblings and in-laws are losers too. Oh yea, so are my daughters' friends. Lovely.
What is it about us that feels the need to label ourselves and others? Is it the opportunity to feel superior and more comfortable with the decisions that we have made for ourselves?Who coins these terms – "Loser Cruiser," "Soccer Mom" and while we're at it, how about "Tiger Mom" and "Helicopter Parent?" Note that all of these are negative labels given to parents of small children. Is it any wonder that we're somewhat defensive at times? As well, this trend supports the call for a larger discussion on why parenting is seen to be a thankless – and evidently, in some cases a scorned upon – job. More specifically, these terms are aimed primarily at women – moms – further relegating the role of mother to one that is worthy of scorn and derision.
Until the role of mom, dad and "parent" in general is respected, we will continue to endure the ridicule and lack of respect that underlies derogatory and divisive terminology.
So my questions today relate to the use of such terms:
Are you offended by such terms as "Soccer Mom," "Tiger Mom," "Helicopter Parent," etc., or do you find them harmless and humorous?
What is the most offensive parenting/mom-related title, in your opinion?
Lastly and most importantly: Would you or do you drive a minivan??

The 27 inch Lamont Refractor
|Caption: The tubes of the
telescope lay outside an aircraft hangar at the Erlichpark Fire Station
in Bloemfontein for many years. It was dumped there after the observatory
closed in the mid-1970's for they did not know what else to do with it.
It will never form an operational telescope again, but makes fine museum
exhibits. It was carried into the hangar in late 2002 and early 2003.
1) The 27 inch Lamont-Refractor could be detached into two pieces for easier transport - this is how they are currently lying in the Museum (6.5 meters in lenght each - they weigh tons upon tons! 2) The object in the background is the counterweight - the wheel did not belong to the telescope. 3) The mounting of the telescope. 4) The 27 inch's lens - in safe-keeping in Michigan.

The Mars cameras and Rossiter plaque
4 (text coming in future)
|Above: 1-2) - March 2002
- A major find in 2002 for the Lamont-Hussey researchers: the recovery of
two astrophotographical cameras. These two cameras were used by Earl Slipher,
world famous astronomer, when he visited Lamont-Hussey on Naval Hill from
Lowell Observatory in the 1950's. Some of the best pictures of Mars were
taken by these instruments. These were found in a store, behind the elephant's
compound in the City Zoo! (Photos: ASSA Bloemfontein Centre)
3-4) - 2002 - An accidental discovery was the much anticipated recovery of the Rossiter Plaque - once attached to the telescope. A municipal worker gave it to one of the Friends of Lamont-Hussey quite by chance. On the back is a wonderful description of the person and life of Dr. Rossiter - first director of the Observatory.
|Above: 1-3) - January 2004
- Again a major discovery almost by accident! These images represent the
latest find in Bloemfontein regarding Lamont-Hussey parts - the long lost
6 inch Clark Refractor which was set-up in the 1880's in Michigan and shipped
with the 27 inch to South Africa in the 1920's. Only parts of the telescope's
driving mechanisms was found; the whereabouts of the lens and the tube of
the 6 inch remains mystery to this day...
4) - December 2002 - Books discovered at Boyden Observatory which once belonged to the Lamont-Hussey Observatory before it closed. The books were probably given to Boyden for safe-keeping in the 1970's. (All credits: ASSA Bloemfontein History group)

Happy New Year, all! Are we done with cookies? champagne? fun and frivolity? Yeah, me too. It feels so good to be back to eating healthy food again. Soups like this will help kickstart the new year!
CSA folks, especially are going to love this recipe. Ah heck, I hope we all love this recipe, it posted this morning on Kitchen Parade, see Master Recipe: How to Make Homemade Vegetable Soup. (Easier still – just click the photo!) I'd love to know what you think but here's why you just might like it:
It's a master recipe for soup, getting us started with the right proportions but giving free rein to the choice of vegetables, the choice of cooking liquid and the choice of seasoning.
It's not just vegan, it's "Vegan Done Real".
It's similar to the Weight Watchers Zero Points Garden Soup (and all the many Weight Watcher variations of this soup) except that it's much more variable.
It's a basic recipe, a starter recipe, but the results are anything but ordinary.
PS I have a fabulous new many-vegetables-in-one-pot recipe for A Veggie Venture on Tuesday too. I think 2012 may just be a banner year for vegetables. Did I mention we joined a CSA? More on that later!
PPS Lots of exclamation points !!! in today's post, a big sign of excitement about this recipe. Let's hope you feel exclamation points too!

Yes, I understand what you mean. Even if I do not know if you are right, I have found an image who prove (you call that "dust") is recovering much of the "rocks". Sand and (humidity ?) aggregation. An image who shows there is something Inside "rocks".
I can't post this image like that (and have no intention to post any image on ATS now). I must write a complete article with arguments, for people like you who are really involved by this topic. I do not know when I'll have the time for that.
Best Regards.
reply to post by jeep3r
Why not post any images on ATS?
Don't worry about those that poo-poo any notion that there might be something significant to find in the hi-res photo's of Mars. There are many of us here that think there may indeed be something really interesting to find on Mars and right now the hi-res pics sent back from the Rovers are the best source for that.
Although I think many of the finds are "just rocks" there have been more than a few that I feel bear closer investigation and are just amazingly cool to look at and think about.
Hang in there Florentb! You may be the one that makes that first incontrovertible find...and having many different sets of eyes and minds review the pics with you can only help in that effort.
Thank you very very much for this message.
(and thanks to jeep3r too)
I think i made that "first incontrovertible find" and give it a name, Staetolma .You can search this name on a search engine and i planned to put a thread on it on ATS. But i studied and decide it will be better if someone else did the thing, and replace it by a more recent discovery (even Staetolma is not very old discovery) and put the thread on "The Statue". The fact is, as the moderator deleting do not consider the subject itself, this "uncontrovertible" could be now in the basket !

Below is an unedited review of last night's Fleet Foxes show at the Moore Theatre that was submitted to the P-I for publication in the Oct. 21 edition of the paper.
Death Cab for Cutie take notice, there's a new Northwest buzz band in town: Fleet Foxes.
With only one full-length album to their name, in about a year the Sub Pop band has grown from being one of Seattle's fastest-rising bands to selling out theaters nationwide. Sunday, the band showcased its skills while captivating an adoring sold-out crowd at the Moore Theatre.
Led by singer Robin Pecknold, Fleet Foxes specialize in songs that showcase amazing four-part harmonies. The group's 75-miunute set covered most every song in its catalog from the beautiful "White Winter Hymnal" to the show's closing number "Blue Ridge Mountains," as well as a cover and one new song.
They charmed fans with jokes about facial hair (all but one member is bearded) and gained extra points for being extremely appreciative and endearing (band members invited several of their former grade school teachers to the show). They even thanked most everyone on their touring crew, right down to their merch girl.
Aside from the jokes and harmonies, Pecknold's voice is the band's secret weapon. When it's fully unleashed it's an unexpected knockout punch to anyone who is on the fence about Fleet Foxes' Northwest blend of The Beach Boys and Crosby, Stills and Nash. It's impossible to not be won over after witnessing Pecknold perform four solo songs during the band's set.
The songs were the night's biggest highlight. During the encore Pecknold stepped away from the microphone and played his acoustic guitar solo while singing the traditional folk song "Katie Cruel." The acoustics of the century-old theater worked in his favor as Pecknold's voice soared effortlessly through the theater like it was a leaf floating through the sky with the aid of a brisk autumn breeze. It was a jaw-droppingly spectacular moment.
While the theater was packed to capacity, it felt as if Fleet Foxes were singing to each person in the audience individually. Creating that feeling of intimacy is an impresssive feat for such a young band to pull off and it gave the show a distinct atmosphere. It helped make the night feel like something special was happening, and it was; Fleet Foxes were showing they've made the leap from playing clubs to theaters, and are on their way to perhaps becoming big enough to pack stadiums.

The power of the internet is immense, following its huge growth in just the recent years. And since it is being used by more and more people everyday for absolutely everything, from work to pleasure, several devices have been invented that make the use of the World Wide Web even more convenient. Examples of these are the new Smartphones and the Tablet computers.
What is important to note about these devices is that they are able to connect to the internet, given there is internet connection, and allow the user to surf. However, these have much smaller screens compared to the desktop and laptop computers which oftentimes do not allow the users to surf sites whose screens are not fit or optimized for smaller screens.
Because of this problem, the concept of the Responsive Web Design or RWD was born.
Responsive Web Design is a good website design approach that makes the website easily adjust to the screen size and resolution of the device being used; thus, giving the user optimum viewing experience. A modern web design today usually creates separate websites for every device available on the market but Responsive Web Design makes this unnecessary.
Here are some reasons why design web companies should create Responsive Web Design for every website.
1. Saves Time and Money
It was mentioned that many website owners create separate websites for desktop and mobile devices which can be expensive. However, when you use Responsive Web Design, you only need that single website for all types of devices.
For example, if your URL is www.nameityourown.com, that will be the same URL users have to access regardless if they are using a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone. With this, you only have to maintain one website.
As for the users, they only have to take note of one URL.
2. More Exposure
The problem with sites that don't have RWD is that these cannot be seen or accessed easily on smartphones. As a result, there is lesser traffic driven to the site. But with Responsive Web Design, even smartphones can open your website anytime, anywhere; thus, increasing your traffic.
3. Anticipates Innovations
With technology producing a lot of things we never even thought we would need, Responsive Web Design anticipates the time when even smaller screen smartphones will arrive. It already addresses this now since Responsive Web Design allows your website to be viewed from all devices.
4. Perfect for E-Commerce Web Design
E-commerce web designs are used by online businesses. If you have an online business that sells products, your number one consideration is the uploading of photos of each of your products as these can be difficult to load on Smartphones and Tabs. Use Responsive Web Design and you will feel secure knowing that all your photos and data can be seen and accessed from any device.
Responsive Web Design continues to be one of the major web design trends because of the benefits it brings to website owners. It is now time to adapt to this trend today.

Looks great, much better than the light wood look.
Wow, what a difference some paint makes. It looks great!
This looks great!! I love how clean it looks. Funny thing is, my dining room table used to look exactly like this (except rectangular) and I had my father in law refinish it for us. The light wood just wasn't doing it for me so we did the top in a dark walnut and now I just love it.
I love seeing the before & after pics…It really does look so much nicer now!! Thank you again!!
You're so welcome friend! Thanks for letting me share it with my readers!

Yes! I have a set very similar to this at home and I've often wondered if I'd be able to paint it myself… I've been a bit scared to try in case I ruin it, but you've given me hope haha.
so pretty and light and airy now!
What a great update! I'm featuring your dining set at the Power of Paint Party Spotlight this weekend! Thanks for linking up…
Great way to freshen up the set! Amazing what a little paint can do!
I've got the same set and hacve wanted to paint it. Did she sand or prime the chairs before the paint? Mine have a glossy finish.
Love how you painted the table! Looks so fresh.
Would love for you to share this at my link party. Hope to see you there!
I just love how paint transforms furniture – you made it look gorgeous!
Loving the transformation!

Oh! And I'm your newest follower!
I just bought a similar setting and have been debating painting the seats black or white. I love how yours turned out! Will I regret doing them black? What do you think? x Julie
Look so much better! I may have gone with a darker stain on top, but the one you chose looks good too.
Thanks for the about Dining Room Sets technical Info. I expect much from your blog.
Wow it looks like an entirely brand new dining room set!! You did a gorgeous job! I am so jealous of that craigslist find too!! Score!!

AIG might sue govt. for $25B
Published 8:38 pm, Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Fresh from paying back a $182 billion bailout, the American International Group has been running a nationwide advertising campaign with the tagline "Thank you America."
Behind the scenes, the restored insurance company is weighing whether to tell the government agencies that rescued it during the financial crisis: Thanks, but you cheated our shareholders.
The board of AIG will meet today to consider joining a $25 billion shareholder lawsuit against the government, court records show. The lawsuit does not argue that government help was not needed. It contends that the onerous nature of the rescue — the taking of what became a 92 percent stake in the company, the deal's high interest rates and the funneling of billions to the insurer's Wall Street clients — deprived shareholders of tens of billions of dollars and violated the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the taking of private property for "public use, without just compensation."
Maurice Greenberg, AIG's former chief executive, who remains a major investor in the company, filed the lawsuit in 2011 on behalf of fellow shareholders. He has since urged AIG to join the case, a move that could nudge the government into settlement talks.

- Researchers Try to Unlock Clues to 'Super-Aging' Associated Press
The choice is not a simple one for the insurer.
Its board members, most of whom joined after the bailout, owe a duty to shareholders to consider the lawsuit. If the board does not give careful consideration to the case, Greenberg could challenge its decision to abstain. Should Greenberg snare a major settlement without AIG, the company could face additional lawsuits from other shareholders.
Suing the government would not only placate the 87-year-old former chief but would put AIG in line for a potential payout.
Yet such a move would almost certainly be widely seen as an audacious display of ingratitude. The action also would threaten to inflame tensions in Washington, where the company has become a byword for excessive risk-taking on Wall Street.
Some government officials are already upset with the company for even seriously entertaining the lawsuit, people briefed on the matter said. The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, noted that without the bailout, AIG shareholders would have fared far worse in bankruptcy.
"On the one hand, from a corporate governance perspective, it appears they're being extra cautious and careful," said Frank Partnoy, a former banker who is now a professor of law and finance at the University of San Diego School of Law. "On the other hand, it's a slap in the face to the taxpayer and the government."
It is unclear whether the directors are leaning toward joining the case. The board said in a court filing that it probably would decide by the end of January.
"The AIG board of directors takes its fiduciary duties and business judgment responsibilities seriously," said spokesman, Jon Diat.
The case is filed in both New York and Washington. A federal judge in New York dismissed the case, while the Washington court allowed it to proceed.
One of Starr International's major arguments is that AIG's bailout terms were far tougher than those granted to other large financial firms. But AIG's cash needs and internal failings were in many ways far more serious than those of other institutions. In fact, the company was in such dire straits after the rescue that the government chose to loosen the terms of its aid.
The concessions were considerable.
In early 2009, the Federal Reserve cut the interest rate on a big loan to AIG. At the time, the company said that would save it $1 billion a year in interest.
The Treasury Department made another favorable change. It exchanged $40 billion of preferred shares for new ones that effectively paid no cash dividends to taxpayers. If it had paid the originally agreed 10 percent dividend on all these and other preferred shares, the insurer would have paid roughly $20 billion from the beginning of 2009 to the end 2012.
Instead, the preferred shares were converted into common stock, which the government later sold. The Treasury Department made a $5 billion return on its investments.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's rescue also required that the companies pay a 10 percent dividend on its government money. But the Treasury Department never let them off the hook on that commitment.
The Treasury Department has declined to comment. A spokesman for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jack Gutt, said, "There is no merit to these allegations." He noted that "AIG's board of directors had an alternative choice to borrowing from the Federal Reserve, and that choice was bankruptcy."

Getting Physical With Books
I've been a huge proponent of digital publishing down through the years. In fact, I take great delight at watching other pundits holding forth on discoveries they've made, which are identical to things I was saying five years ago. These would be things concerning the pricing of books, the rise in popularity of series fiction and a whole bunch more. Even though I don't get a lot of credit for that sort of thing, its still fun to see.
One of the cooler aspects of advancing technology is that it's reducing the cost of printing books. Print on Demand still hasn't had prices fall to the point where it's economical to sell into stores, but for limited runs, it really works well. Last year and this, the Origins Game Fair has produced limited edition fiction anthologies with stories by the authors at the show. That's only possible because of print on demand. (And in this year's collection, Heroes!, I have a brand new story set in the In Hero Years universe, featuring Puma.)
I've gone ahead and produced print on demand editions of three of my digital-only (or hitherto digital-only) books: In Hero Years… I'm Dead, Tricknomancy and Mysterious Ways. In fact, depending upon the conventions you catch me at this summer, I might actually have copies for sale, right there. Because of the cost of shipping books, I'm only printing them in small numbers, but using the links below you can get one printed up for your reading pleasure.
Don't let it shock you: physical books cost more than digital downloads—at least, in the world of print on demand they do. I've priced each of these books at $15.00, though Amazon may discount them now and again. What's curious is that even though the books cost more than the digital, I actually make less on each sale. I make the best profit when I order in bulk and sell direct; but since we all know how heavy books are, you'll understand why I'm not going to carry a hefty inventory to each show.
This weekend, at Phoenix Comicon, I'll have ample copies of each book on hand. Ample, in this case, means 22. Get them fast. As always, at any show, I'll be happy to sign your books.
The really cool thing about print on demand publishing making physical books available at a reasonable retail price is that we can maintain that wonderful tradition of having a library of books on shelves. While I really enjoy reading on my iPad, I take great delight in having a single room in the house with shelves floor to ceiling, stuffed with books. To me, that's how it's supposed to be. Other folks can have their happy place being a beach or a mountain cabin—for me, all I want is a library packed with books. Okay, and having a secret passage in there somewhere is cool, too.
As always, I really appreciate your support in my career. If you've passed up reading my digital-only books because they were digital-only, here's a chance to see what you've been missing.

For anyone who has read my blog before, you will know that I am a huge fan of L'oreal foundations! I have previously tried and loved their True Match foundation and also their Infallible foundation, in both the longwear and matte finish. I recently heard about their new total cover foundation and I just knew I had to have it! So how did I find it?
Well, first things first, this product is very high coverage. This is something I always look for in a foundation as I suffer with acne prone skin and I love to have a high coverage foundation that I can rely on to last throughout the day and cover all my blemishes. Having tried previous L'oreal foundations I knew that they wouldn't disappoint on this element as the Infallible and True Match range both have really great coverage as well.
The infallible range always claimed a 24 hour long lasting coverage and whilst this foundation doesn't make such a bold claim, the product is incredibly long lasting and is completely flawless even after a full 8-9 hours of work. Even after a full day, the coverage is still seamless and my base hasn't budged – a definite plus. The product is also a matte finish and is more of a thick formula as opposed to the liquid finish of the true match and infallible range. It's quite a moussey texture but because of the 'camo stretch technology' that this product boasts, it applies really easily and has great spreadability. The product sinks into your skin effortlessly and has a nicer finish to the Infallible matte range which can be a little more difficult to spread and apply.
For reference, I picked this up in the shade Natural Rose 12 which is such a perfect colour match for me. It's a very natural colour for me but because of the great coverage I didn't feel it necessary to go any darker than my natural skin tone. At the moment I think there are only 6 shades available which is a little disappointing but thankfully I've found my perfect match.
This foundation is currently available at most Superdrug and Boots stores and is priced at an incredible £9.99 – that's another thing I love about L'oreal, they are by far my favourite high street foundation and they are so readily available and affordable!
Have you tried the Total Cover foundation? What were your thoughts?

Beauty, Makeup — Summer with Chanel
I always forget just how very much I love Chanel until I get my hands on their new products and then I fall in love all over again. And that's exactly how I feel about the items I tried from their new summer collection – in love.
I tried both of the new Soleil Tan de Chanel bronzers – Sable Beige and Sable Rose – and adore them both. Each of them looks so pretty in the pan, with seven different shades striped together and the Chanel name printed at the bottom. (I think we can all agree that besides even the quality of their products, Chanel really knows how to present their makeup in the most attractive way possible). I really like how easy that makes it to use the colors in other places too, especially the gold shade, which makes a gorgeous highlighter on eyes. When you use it as a bronzer, you just swirl your large brush over the pan and mix all the shades together for a sunlit glow. Very pretty and subtle in a way a lot of bronzers aren't, which I appreciate.
Orange is the color of the moment and the new Calypso Glossimer is the perfect way to wear it this summer. It looks super bright in the tube, but on my lips it's more subdued and gives my lips a pop of color without being too over the top. It goes really well with a nude eye and some coral blush, and it's equally wearable both during the day and at night. I've been layering it over the new Rouge Coco Shine in En Vogue, which is a brighter orange shade and super moisturizing. Either one looks great on its own, but together, they really stand out.
And of course, no Chanel collection is complete without some new nail polishes. There are three new Le Vernis Nail Colours – Island, Delight and Holiday. Holiday is the one I've fallen head over heels for because it's a gorgeous bright orange (you really can't escape it this summer!) It's a perfect pedicure shade, but I'm always kind of dying to try it on my fingers just because it's so pretty. Delight is a gold-bronze metallic with tons of shimmer and it's different from any polishes I can find already in my stash. Very unique and interesting. Island is a frosty pinkish-beige, a neutral that you could easily wear to work or to the beach. They're all limited-edition and we all know how fast those vanish, so don't delay getting to your nearest Chanel counter to pick them up if you're coveting one (or all!)
Now that I've gotten my hands on these, I can't wait to try the rest of the collection. Chanel, you are my kryptonite!

Jonas Brothers Named Worst Band at UK Awards Show
The Jonas Brothers might be teen royalty in America, but their popularity across the pond is not as favorable. On Wednesday, the pop trio earned the Worst Band and Worst Album award at the 2010 NME Awards in London, which determines its winners by fan voting.
Green Day, Oasis, Paramore and JLS were also nominated in the Worst Band category this year, while records from U2, Lady Gaga, and Arctic Monkeys were contenders for Worst Album.
NME is a British music magazine, which celebrates rock and indie rock, and according to editor Krissi Murison, over 3.6 million people voted for this year's awards. But did the Jonas Brothers really deserve the what they got? Their last album, 'Lines, Vines and Trying Times' was certified gold or platinum in over six countries, and peaked at No. 9 on the UK charts, so plenty of people love them, even overseas.
In the U.S., the Jo Bros have sold over 600,000 copies of their last album, which also held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart at one point. We think the nominees in the harsh awards categories were pretty questionable (Paramore, really?), but the Jonas Brothers don't really belong in NME's rock-minded arena anyway.

Report: Britney Spears to Perform on The X-Factorby Free Britney at . Comments
As excitement builds in anticipation of her upcoming album, Circus, Britney Spears is reportedly preparing to make appearance on the UK's The X Factor.
The recovering singer will be performing her big comeback single, "Womanizer," in what will be her first visit to the European nation in four years.
Spears will appear on the talent show - the successor of Pop Idol, which spawned American Idol - in December, when Circus is set to be released.
"Womanizer" will be available as a single sooner than that. A track from her new album called "Candy From Strangers" has already been leaked online.
Earlier this month, Britney Spears took home three prizes at the 25th MTV Video Music Awards. She looked both happy and healthy, as is evidenced above.
Some worry, though, that Jive Records is trying to milk its cash cow hard now that she's functional - and perhaps setting Spears up for another collapse.

Remarks at the Fifth
Anniversary Celebration of
Well, I thank you all, and I appreciate this opportunity to join in celebrating USA Today's fifth birthday. When you get my age, it always feels good to be celebrating someone else's birthday. [Laughter] So, right off the bat, let me say to Al Neuharth and John Curley, Cathy Black, and all of you who've played a role in this exciting endeavor: Congratulations and many happy returns!
All of this brings to mind the story -- something always brings to my mind a story. [Laughter] Maybe you being in the business have heard it already, but it has to do with the young cub reporter whose first assignment was to go out to the senior citizens home, where a man there, the oldest man in the community, celebrating his 95th birthday. And he came in, and of course the first was, ``I'm from the paper and all, to interview you,'' and then said, ``to what do you attribute your age, your longevity?'' And he said, ``I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't run around with wild women.'' And just then there was a terrible crashing noise upstairs, and the kid said, ``What's that?'' And the old man says, ``Oh, that's my father. He's drunk again.'' [Laughter]
I don't know if any of you have been assigned to interview the oldest man in
town, but I do know that USA Today is offering the American people a vibrant,
new alternative. Your innovative journalism and use of high technology has
literally altered the face of the newspaper business. It's no mere coincidence
that since your paper hit the streets changes have taken place throughout the
industry. More color photographs, extensive use of graphics, and better sports
coverage can be found now in papers all across
The success of USA Today and industry-wide improvements should be no surprise to those of us who believe in free enterprise. Competition keeps the quality up and the price down. And as we're well aware, USA Today is not just competing with one newspaper; it's up against papers in every major city in the country. It took great entrepreneurial courage for the leadership of Gannett newspapers to take on this challenge. Of course, it's not been all peaches and cream. There was that morning in October 1982 when an airliner cruised by just outside an editorial meeting. And what was really frightening was that those in the meeting were able to see through the windows of the plane as it went by and the passengers were reading the Washington Times. [Laughter]
Seriously, starting a new business of any kind takes a special breed of people. You can all be proud of what you've accomplished. Your success is truly a turning point in the news business. You're leading a whole industry into the 21st century. And again, thanks for letting me join your celebration. God bless you, and I'll be waiting for your paper in the morning. [Laughter]

Over the Martin Luther King Day weekend, you could have seen the glass as half-full or half-empty. By that, I don't mean the usual "We have come a long way but we still have a long way to go" claptrap. When it comes to race relations and equal opportunity in the United States of 2012, you have to be delusional not to see the glass as at least seven-eighths full. It is illegal to engage in racial discrimination in just about any public or private transaction (voting, education, employment, contracting, public accommodations, lending, housing, you name it), the overwhelming majority of Americans believe that it should be illegal and that such discrimination is wrong, it is socially unacceptable to be a bigot, and race relations are good and getting better all the time. That's not to say that friction and discrimination do not still exist — they do — but to think there is anything like the amount of it there was in Dr. King's lifetime is, as I say, delusional.
The one kind of discrimination that continues not just to exist but to flourish and to be defended publicly is the politically correct kind. And here is where one can see the glass as half-full or half-empty.
The vast majority of Americans have no patience for it, and the list of states that have banned it continues to grow: California (1996), Washington (1998), Michigan (2006), Nebraska (2008), Arizona (2010), and, in 2012, New Hampshire (as of January 1) and Oklahoma (if voters there approve an initiative on the ballot for this November). The courts, while they bear much blame for allowing it and even encouraging it earlier on, have increasingly limited it. So there's the half-full glass.
But there's a half-empty glass, too. Academia loves racial and ethnic preferences, corporations have drunk the "diversity" Kool-Aid, and politicians are generally unwilling to challenge preferences — Democrats because their base insists on it, and Republicans because they skittishly fear the race card.
Worst of all, the Obama administration promotes it, sometimes directly and always indirectly. #more#Directly, as when it supports university and even K-12 race-based policies, contracting preferences by the federal government, racial gerrymandering, federal workforce "diversity" efforts; and legislative provisions in Obamacare and Dodd-Frank (to name just the two highest-profile administration bills). Indirectly, as in nominating executive-branch officials like Eric Holder and Thomas Perez and judges like Sonia Sotomayor and Goodwin Liu — and aggressively pushing the "disparate impact" approach to civil-rights enforcement.
Through the latter, the federal government insists that the numbers come out right, even if it means that policemen and firefighters cannot be tested, that companies should hire criminals, that loans must be made to the uncreditworthy, and that — I kid you not — whether pollution is acceptable depends on whether dangerous chemicals are spread about in a racially balanced way.
The other reason to be less sanguine this week is that the reasons for the socioeconomic disparities that drive politically correct discrimination are cultural and that, alas, the root problem — the appalling illegitimacy rate among African Americans (more than seven out of ten) — shows no sign, none, of diminishing.
Dr. King said he wanted his children to be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Alas, many of those who would claim his mantle this weekend are not only happy with judging by skin color, but — judging by their enthusiasm for the disparate-impact approach and their silence on the problem of out-of-wedlock births — think the content of people's character should be viewed with indifference.

Now, after finishing production, we can still keep in touch with our project manager who fixes unforeseen glitches immediately. At every point we had instant access to communicate with our project manager online who could answer any and all questions and provide immediate fixes.

The Contenders
While businesses are encouraged by the phenomenal growth and expansion of markets for their products, they know that success will not happen automatically. Customers have very high expectations and will not settle for anything even fractionally less than the best in terms of quality, service and support.
